Of every Union soldier plead for it, all the great sanitary
and benevolent organizations during the war plead Tor l

hundreds OF thousands interested In the National Debt

New-York tribune., 1868-03-09


The remarkable debate on the Alabama
claims which took place in the British Parlia-
ment on Friday night, and of which the tele-
graph gives us a long abstract this morning,
ought to convince us that if there is any lnsu-
perable obstacle to q speedy settlement of our
dispute with England that obstacle must exist
with ourselves. All parties in Great Britain
are anxious that the matter should be set at
rest. There are very few who are not ready
to meet us halfway ; and many of the leading
statesmen are ready to admit nearly every
thing we claim, and to appoint mixed COM
mission Immediately to settle the amount of
damages. What then is the point of differ
ence between the two Governments Simply
this Mr.. Seward maintains that the British
Government acknowledged the Rebels as bel
ligerents sooner than it had any right to do so
that this acknowledgment was material aid
and comfort to them; and that an arbitrator
must take it into consideration before the
indemnity due us can be properly adjusted.
Lord Stanley will not admit this and so the
matter stands
Now whatever may be said of the justice of
our position land it is by no means certain that
| it is ust for the first person to recognize the
| Rebels as belligerents was not Queen Victoria
but President LincOln), it ought not to be for
gotten that what we really want is not de-
cision Of this question of belligerency, but the
payment of damages. Grant that Lord Stan
ley is right that the moment any large frag-
ment of a nation takes up arms to assert its
independence, all the rest Of the world has a
right to acknowledge it as a bellgerent; who
will profit by the admission of the doctrine so
much as we Ourselyes-we who have always
been prompt to recognize and encourage pop
ular instructions against despOtic powersf
Besides, Mr. Seward be it remembered, does
not ask that an umpire shall decide upon the
Justice of the recognition. He only wants the
arbter to turn the matter over in his mind F;
to see what bearing it may have upon the
question of responsibility, and perhaps the
amount of damages. But the responsibility is
not seriously denied in England. Many leading
statesmen are ready to admit it at the start,
| and TO agree to a mixed commission for
settling the claims without further prelim-
inaries. AT any rate we risk little or nothing
by waving Mr.. Stewards point, and leaving
history to pronounce upon the precise time
when the Southern COnfederates became bel
lieerents in the sense of international law.
That they acquired belligerent rights in the
course of the war nobody denies; that they
acquired them before the Alabama put to sea,
we think can hardly be disputed. Mr.. Stewards
difficulty therefore is mainly matter of senti-
ment, and cannot seriously affect the real
question at issue, which is the amount of com
pensation Great Britain ought to make us for
the depredatiOns of cruisers fitted out iii her
ports and with her connivance. She recognizes
the debt, and is willing to pay it. Let us not
higgle over the means of getting at the
amount, but meet her in frank and friendly
spirit, and a great trouble will he off OuI

TMPEACHMEST A NATIONAL AFFAIR.

The attempt 20 represent impeachment "a a
partisan maneuver because none but Union
men vote for it, and because all Union men
do sustain it, Is exactly on par with the at
tempts from the same sources to represent the
War for the Union, and Emancipation and Re-
construction on the basis of equality as partisan
maneuvers. Under free governments every
thing that is done of any political importance
must be done by a party and is very likely to
be opposed 10y the opposite party. The Rebel
lion was almost exclusively undertaken by tho
Democratic party. The War for the Union
was exclusively carried through by the friends
of tho Union. Reconstruction has been the
work of the Union party. Most of the laws of
Congress for the past six years have been passed
by the Union party. That party naturally rep
rcsents freedom, intelligence, law, and order.
The Democratic party as naturally represents
despotism, stupidity anarchy, disobedence of
law, and dsintegration. AZ all parties commit
some errors, the Republican party is not exempt.
In moment of generous over-confidence it al
lowed Andrew johnson to be foisted upon il as
a candidate for Office 1t elected him in spite
of tho protestltions OF The Ne'c- York World,
Herald, and Chicago Times that he was boorish
tailor and drunken and unprinciped dcmn-
gOguc. While ihe Union party was right
in its principles, ", are convinced that the Dem
ocracy in these criticisms of the man showed the
more thorough anG accurate knowledge of his
character They ought TO have known him bet
ter than we, since he had always dissipated in
their company. Tley knew he was not fit to
be President then, ald we know it now. Com
bining tho knowledge of both parties, it fol-
lows that the whole country knows it. And it
should be the special duty of the party that is
responsible for his election to remove him.
New-York tribune., 1868-03-09
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

President Johnson has been duly summoned
to respond on Friday next to the grave inn
peachment of his political conduct by the
House of Representatives, and will doubtless
do so at the time appointed. 1t seems to be
generally understood that he will not put in a
personal appearance before the Senate, but will
respond to the charges and contest their va
lidity by counsel and that several of the ablest
and most eminent lawyers IN the land have
been retained for this purpose. 1t is intimated
that he will challenge the array" or in some
shape demuT to the competency of the court OF
impeachment, either on the ground that the
States are not all represented or that the Senators
have prejudged him, or perhaps a little of both.
The maladrOit intimatiOn of the Hon. James
Brooks, when impeachment was last proposed
i'm the House, that the trial would be pro-
tracted TO the end of his term, probably af-
fords a clew to the tactics of the defense. The
lawyers will demur, and caviL and appeal and
raise points" and endeavor thus to tire out or
bewilder the Senate or the managers for the
House, until a popular clamOr shall be raised
for stopping the prosecution and allowing Con-
gress TO revert TO the consideration of measures
Of retrenchment, relief and reduction of the
public burdens.
In full view of this obvious purpose, we still
distrust the wisdom, and indeed the practica-
bility, of pressing the trial TO an early issue.
The proceeding is one of the utmost gravity,
and, in some respects, of decided novelty. 1t
is not to be dispatched like the conviction and
sentence of pichpocket caught in the act.
The days when prisoners hang that jurymen
"may dine are nearly over; and the court
can make no haste that is inconsistent with its
own dignity nor with judicial calmness and
impartiality We shall be disappointed if the
trial shall be ended within thirty days after it
shall have fairly begun.
Yet we hear with regret that the House is
urged to take a recess, on the plea that no leg
islatiye business can properly be transacted
while this trial is in progress. We respectfully
dissent from this assumption. However adyisa-

New-York tribune., 1868-03-09

The question of the abolition of the death
penalty, which has during the past few years
engaged the attention of nearly every Parlia-
ment in Europe, Will shortly come up in the
English House of Commons. Though none OF
the great political parties have officially de-
fined its relation to this question, in England,
as in Europe generally, the advocates OF an
abolishment of the death penalty are chiefly
found in the Progressive party. The COnserv-
atives are almost everywhere a unit against its
abolition.

would interfere. They have never shown a
