British Ministry can justify themselves 10 ther
own people, by pointing to their acts OF Par-
lament, the opinions of Their law advisers OF
the rulings of their Courts, those acts, Opih-
ions, and rulings cannot exempt them from the
responsibility they Incurred toward us by not
afTordinc, upon our demand the same protec-
ton that we have uniformly afforded them.
The power of the Government to have gwen
us that protection was distinctly shown by their
SUBSEQUENT action. On the tst Sept 1868, Earl
Russell wrote to Mr. Adams that -" her
"Maiesty's Government are advised that
"they cannot interfere in any way
" with these vessels Mr.. Adams replied on the
81 of September: at would be suDerfiuous Ill
"me TO point out to your Lordship that thiS is
Guar" On the Sth of September Mr.. Adams
received the following: " Lord Russell presents
"hs compliments to Mr.. Adams, and has the
"honor to inform him that instructions have
"been issued which will prevent the departure
" of the two iron clad vessels from Liverpool
This was satisfactory, and although The Sdfur-
dan Reuie,u says that "the Alexandra was
"seized in excess of the strictly legal powers OF
"the Government" our right TO demand her
seizure was strictly legal by the law of nations.

then, when reminded "this is war;" she ought
to have given in the case of the Alabama, from
the simple thought 81 this is justice"
Let the English people but thoroughly un-
derstand this matter, and with the calm pride
of great nation they will of their own ac-
cord insist that their Government shall render
such full and honorable reparatiOn as 1t would
become England to offer and America to ac-
cept. Neither country wishes war; but each
knows that "justlce is the great standing
"policy of civil society" Each claims the
right to demand justice, and each should be
ready to render justice. One thing we hold
above all question that the complete restora-
ton of international harmony, and the careful
revision of the international code, will be mat
ter of common rejoicing; so that once more
men may quote the language of Sir James
Macintosh (Which certainly might be more
true than it is now) that "the two great
English Commonwealth (for 80 / delight to

"be forever united in the cause OF justice and
"liberty) cannot be contemplated without the

The latest information from Spain strongly
points to the Duke Of Montpcnsier as the
choice of the majority of the Cortes for King
of Spain. On the opening Of the Cortes,
considerable majority of the united Liberal
parties declared their preference for exKinC
Ferdinand of Portugal. King Ferdinand, how
ever, prefers books and arts to the crown, and
declined. The Provisional Government and the
allied parties seem to have then agreed upon
the Duke of Montpensier. An indication Of
the sentiments of the majority of the Cortes
was given when they declined to strike the
name Of the Duke Of Montpensier from tho
list of marshals The Duke is now reported
to have declared his readiness to accept the
throne, if it were offered to him--thus strongly
confirming the suppositon that a complete
understanding with regard to the subject has
been arrived at.

We lately had occasion to show the shameful
condition of Washington Market, owned by the
City and managed by the Ring, and the excel
lent arrangements of Central Market, con-
Quoted by private parties. The exhibition Of
the two sets of facts was, of course, too
much for the City Hail. 1t was to be expected
that they would attack the public convenience
rather than the dilapidated nuisance; but it
was hardly supposed that they would be quite
so bold about it as their Committee on Mar
kets recommends. In the proceedings of the
Board of Aldermen, yesterday, it will be seen
that this pleasant Committee proposes to shut
up the convenience by injunction, at the Peoples
expense, in order that the People may be forced
to patrOnize the nuisance.

The Senatorial Caucus yesterday did thing
of questionable wisdom III deciding to dispense
with the services of Mr.. John ID. Defrees, rs
Public Printer. Heretofore that body has been
credited with q disposition, when it got n
good officer, to save him. Mr. Defrees has
been capable attentive, and honest and the
Government received more obligation than
it conferred in having the fortune to
get its preposterously extravagant guam
titles of printing done under his watch

cares to retain his Office; but if he does, we
doubt the economy of discarding his expert
ence to install any new man, no matter how
worthy, in his place.

Gen. Campbell who is said to have dis

1t is doubtless to Gen. Scholelds appreciation
of his services in this capacity that he owes
his prospective appointment He is entirely
unknown in politics, but he served with intel
lgent fidelity under Schofeld in the civil adj
ministration in Virginia, and was left to close
up the business of his Chief there, after the
latter was made Secretary of War. He has for
some time past been on duty in the War De-
