The F0st, commenting on the action
Of General Grant in regard to gold
speculation says the habits and life
OF President Grant are a sure guaran-
tee that he will do his duty Impair
tally to all parties. His character as
soldier will protect him from the
temptations to which those who make
politics trade, frequently yield. His
judgment as a statesman remains to
be tried. Thus far he has given evil
dence of statesman like prudence and
good temper. The temporary fail
ure of the Alabama negotiations
led him to wisely postpone the re-
opening of the subject. The course
he has pursued with respect to Cuba
proves that, however anxious for ag-
grandizement of the Union, he is re-
solved to observe faithfully the duties
prescribed In international law. :
LONDON, Oct. 28.-The Times, to-
day. in an article on the clamor for a
Fenian amnesty, says: Many Gov
ernments, as well as that of England,
formerly regarded rebellion as tram
scehding all other crimes, and as one
to be punished beyond them all. The
British Government now looks on il
as more fraught than ordinary crimes
with ruInous consequences to peace
and prosperity of the country, as
springing from the same intracfibility
of temper and self disregard of the
welfare Of others, which prompt COM
mon illegalities, and as requiring tho
same standard of punishment. Vixen
1t is demonstrated that the Fenians
have harder work, worse food and
harsher treatmentfhan other convicts,
it will be tiLze to accuse Dir. Glad
stone of being less sensitive to in
| Justice when practiced on bis fellow
countrymen than when inflicted on
| foreigners. While the Government
refuses 10 act toward rebellion as if it
were simply virtue misdirected, Mr.
| Gladstone can afford to treat with In
difference the imputation that he has
turned renegade from his generous
principles Of 1851.
IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Oct. 28.-Mr. Gladstone
has written letter to the Town
Council of this city, expressing his
satisfaction and that of his colleagues
at the approval given by the city Of
! Dublin to their conduct In regard to
the Irish Church legislation during
| the last session of Parliament. Mr..
Gladstone acknowledges the solemn
| obligations he is under to deal to the
best Of his ability with the other sub
/ jects affecting the welfare of Ireland.
Il With regard TO the Fenians, he says
it would have been more agreeable to
| the Government to give effect to q
| desire for elemency, founded on the
most honorable motives. t
The project is then considered in
all its bearings. and the reasons given
| for denying an amnesty. ttrE
Sir John Gray, NJ. p, informs the
public that he believed Mr. Glad
stones personal desire was TO release
Fenian prisoners. He knew the Pre-
meir was determined to settle the land
question in the same eHectual manner
in which he had settled the church
question, and that he was resolved to
abolish the exterminatiDg policy Of
the landlords.
