indications have been developed within the last two
or three days which 90 TO show that the President
and the Secretary of State very nearly coincide with
the Massachusetts, Senator"
The Herald, which is at present the organ OF
Mr. Sumner, says:
That part Of them Ithe instructionsl which relates
TO the Alabama claims is understood TO be founded,
substantially, on the speech of Senator Sumner so
far as material indemnity is concerned. Mr.. Fish
does not agree with the sentiments of Mr.. Sumner
with regard to a demand upon Great Britain for a
national apology in addition to payment in full for
damages to our commerce. He considers this would
be treated by Great Britain as equivalent to deCla-
ration Of war; and, therefore, would not be enter
tanned If presented by Minister Motley. Mr.. Fish
was scarcely i'm favor Of going as far Mr.. Sumner
in other matters connected with the Alabama claims,
but the President was of the opinion that the people
demanded firm policy towards Great Britain on
this question, and therefore, Overrued the Secre-
tary."
If our Government has come to the conclusion
that England is the mighty malefactor she is
represented by Mr. Sumner in his speech; if she
wiliully, deliberately, and maCiously cOnnived
and co-Opcrated with the COnfederates to disrupt
the Federal Union, and so far destroy our
Federal Government; it, to that end, she recOg-
nized the Rebels rs entitled to ocean belgerent
rights, permitted Captain Bullock to build and
equip in her territory Rebel cruisers and launch
British Government intended to do and did what
Mr.. Sumner describes-thcn the United States
cannot rest quietly under the insult and outrage
to our national dignity. England must make
atonement and reparation, or fight. No self
respecting nation would or could submit to such
lndgnties as Sumner says have been heaped on
the United States.
The only question is, has President Grant re-
pudated Mr.. Fish and gone over to Sumner and
Motley? The price of gold will speedily tell
what Wall street believes, and whether the
Herald and Times are correct.

reforms and the disproportion between what he
has done and what he might have done. But
the causes of the failure so far are not in the
grain of the man. He may have been mslcd as
of his reticence may have given him the notion
that wisdom consisted in holding ones tongue
a notion that materially damaged the constitu-
tion of the Cabinet. We still believe that there
is in the fibre OF this man what we want to Ike
a President of the right sort; but the President
is not there already made. Some of the great
est careers of political history began in failure
Grant can scarcely become so laughable a figure
as that great genius of modern politics, the EN-
perOr OF France, has been, and George Canning
was once great failure also. We shall be re-
cOnciled with the failure we chrol olicle in this
third month, If from this point Grant shall ad-
dress himself to his great duties with something
of the energy and patient persstency he has
not otherwise, he may yet make his Presidency
urent snCCpss.

DYER AND PORTER.

From the " y. World
The case of General Dyer has Just been settled
in Washington by handsome and complete
acquittal of the accused upon every one of the
charges preferred against him. This is not only
an acquittal of General Dyer, it is a conviction
of the Joint Committee of Congress on Ord
nance by which the charges, now dismissed as
both baseless and base were preferred against
him. That committee made Its charges under
the influence-or, as we may more truly say, at
the dictatiOn-of Benjamin F. Butler. To crafty
the personal spite of this bad man, his colleagues
were found willing to throw as much obloquy as
an Indictment of corruption by them could
throw upon the reputation of veteran officer
who had served his country for II lifetime with
out fear and without reproach. Fortunately for
General Dyer, his case has been investigated in
time of peace and when the angry passions of
the war had cooled. He has thus found the
justice which assuredly he would never have
met with had his trial taken place while Stan
ton shook the shadow of his Turkish beard
over the War Office, and played the Bashaw
unhindered with the lives and liberties of free
born men.
Now that daylight is dawning what has Presi-
dent Grant to say of the case of General Fitz-
John Porter? 1t is not General Porter but
President Grant, who will be put on trial before
the bar of history if he, a soldier. suffers the
term of his Presidency to slip by without order
ing Il soldiers due of honest Investigation and
impartial inquiry to be meted out to II fellow
soldier most foully wrongcd-whatever be the
truth about the substance of his cOnduct-in the
form of the inQuisiOn to which he was sub
jccted and by which he was robbed of the imme-
diate jewel of a soldiers name.

sICKLEs AND THE TRIBUNE"
From the n. y World.

From the N. World.
We did the Tribune more than Justice in sup
posing that it might possibly object to such an
outrage upon the national character as the ap-
pontmcnt of General Sickles to represent the
United States in the Spanish capital. The ap-
pontment has actually been made, and the Ti'j-
bune thanks Heaven and the President for the
blessing in this handsome Manner
general Daniel e. sickles, Yesterday commits
stoned United States Minister to Spain, served his
country gaantly during the war, aided with marked
structon and goes out to the liberal Government of
Spain tdthfui representative If the men tcho hare
preserved the Uljted states Hation, and guaranteed
the success Of gepUbcan institutions in their last and
greatest trial. TO these qualifications he adds culture
and social qualities beftting the station and with the
record he has made IN our hstory he needs neither
recommendation to the liberal authorities to whom
he is sent nor defense against the malignant de-
tractors he leaves behind him."
We have italicized the most touching and APP
propriate phrases of this truly beautiful tribute
to II virtuous and noble citizen. How ex-
quisitely agreeable it must be to the thousands
of respectable and reputable men who have
served their country gallanty during the war
to be Informed that the Tribune considers them
to be both almost and altogether suGhas General
Daniel E. Sickles And what pretty contribu-
ton to the worlds opinion of the great republic
1t is which the Tribune makes when it declares
General Daniel f. Sickles to be "faithful
representative of the men who have preserved
the United States a nation !" The two most
felicitous points however, in this unique COM
position are the homage paid by the Tribune to
the social qualities of the assassin of Philip
Barton Key, the gallant man who, after using
his wifes confession of her shame to save his
life, complacently condoned the crime which he
declared had driven him madly into murder
and the graceful allusion of the Tribune to the
record, which this person has made in our
history
The Tribune claims to be not only the "gen-
tlemans newspaper" of the period, but the
organ also of the Intelligence and virtue of
the United States. malignant detractors," of
course, are unworthy of notice. But we submit
that the Tribune owes it to the rising generation
to republsh from its own columns for May, 1859
the interesting and characteristic record made
''tn our history at that time by this model of
the best social qualities whom it now blaz0ns
forth us the ideal Representative of American
intelligence and American virtue. De Quincy
wrote famous essay once on Murder con-
sidered Fine Art" The Tribune may and
ought to match it now with paper on Murder
considered as a means of Social Culture and
Moral Training

OF eight cents per gallon. We wish them

TIE RECONSTRUCTION OF GENERAL

Oae of the best signs of the tim es

LOCAL MATTERS.

SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY.-Testerday
morning early 4 dispute occurred between
two negroes named Tom Smith and Horace
Bethel, at the snack-house Of Eliza Dipman,
on the south side of the Basin, which resulted
in the serious stabbing of Bethel by Smith.
The latter was arrested and arraigned before
the Mayor Yesterday morning.
From the evidence it appeared that dis
putc occurred concerning the extravaganza
Of some Of the darkies who ate at EliZa's
house, one of the parties urging that it was
very airy proceeding on the part of some
poor darkics drinking coffee for breakfast at
three cents per cup, instead of taking their
breakfasts dry. Words followed. and then
blows, and in the scutfe Smith drew large
butcher-kni1e and inflicted two fearful
sashes--onc on the upper portion of the
shoulder Of Bethel, the other under the
collar-bone. Smith was afterwards arrested,
and DR.. Jackson was called in to render the
necessary surgical assistance. Smith was
examined by the Mayor and sent on to an
swer indictment for felony. BethePs
wounds are severe, though, probably not Sc
rious.
