LoNDoN, May 22.-The Times, discussing
the Alabama claims, says England has equal
cause OF complaint against America. Great
Britain resisted the temptation to recognize
the South, thereby Influencing suffering
on her own people, disobliging an ally, and
ia now misunderstood and accused Of hos
tility and selfshness. Sir Francis Head
communicated several additional official
documents to prove the assistance rendered
by the Americans during the revolt in 1887.
ne asserts that Summers speech applies
equally to that and the Alabama claims, but
that England never claimed nor received
the indemnity asked.

4 Co, the New York Advertising Agents
are about issuing complete American
Newspaper Directory. 1t Is . compila-
ton much needed since nothing of the
kind havikg any claims to completeness
has ever been published.
Messrs. Rowell 4 Co, have spared no
pains or expense to make the forthcom'

book will be a handsome octave volume
OF about 800 pages, bound in dark cloth,
and sold for FIVE dollars per copy.
As the publishers ARE Advertising
Agents, their issuing q work containing
so much information, usually jealousy
guarded by these in that business, shows
that they are confident of their ability to
be Of service TO advertisers or they would
not SO readily place in their hands the
means of enabling every one to commun,

The New York Times On the Presidents

in its issue ofthe 2Gth ult
The Presidents Proclamation OF am.
nesty to everybody engaged in the rebel

In point Of fact, It ID Of Bit little import
ance. Ii relieves thcn from AL the pains
and penalties Of treason, and restores
them all TO their rights, privileges and
immunities under the Constitution and
laws. Precisely hon far this is to extend,
and what are the penalties and depriva-
tons from which they are thus 10 be re-
lieved, will become matter of discussion.
All will agree, We presume, that under
this proclamation nobody can be tried for
treason in consequence of his participa-
ton in the rebellion. He Is no lorger
subjected to death, imprisonment. fine,
conhscation of property or any other
penalty, for that offence. SO far IS liabil-
ity to arrest, trial and punishment is con
cerned, all the actors in the rebellion are
just as free from it as il there had been
no rebellion. Upon this point there is
not likely to arise any difference of opin-
ion
But Congress has enacted laws infict-
itg certain disabilities upon certain class
es of persons engaged in the rebellion.
And acting under Congressional author
ity, some of the States have excluded
from the right TO hold office, and from
the right to vote, persons guilty of the
same offense. Are these cxclusionst 10 be
abrogated by the Presidents Pfoclama-
tion2 May all who participated in the
rebellion now vote and hold Office, in
spite of State or Congressional laws :?
Upon this and some other points of the
proclamation, we may expect a good
deal of heated and angry controversy.
The general sentiment of the country,
we think, will be in favor of getting the
whole business out of the way, and oflet-
ting every body in the South start afrcsh
There is no longer the slightest chance
that anybody will be tried on charge of
treason, in consequence Of acts done in
the rebellion; and there can be no longer
any use in holding the possibility of such
trial 81 terrorem over the great mass of
the Southern people The punishment
already suffered by the promoters, leaders
and supporters of the rebellion, is already
vastly greater than any that could be in
fcted by court of law.

How lie PROVED TIT is the custom
in Mexico for the church to require for
eigner, wishing to marry native,to bring
proof that he is not already married
man. An American about to marry a
senorita of very cool family, was requir-
cd to furnish proof Of his being bach
elor. Not finding any of his countrymcn
who knew sufficiently well to testify to
this fact, he determined to supply the de-
flciency with the oath Of native. Meet
ing Mexican in the street whom he had
never seen before, our countryman pro-
posed to him that he should swear to his
being unmarried, for the consideration Of
five dollars. The senior, after a moment
study, told the "Grngo," Get down on
your hands and knees and creep about"
Not exactly knowing what he was about,
he obeycd, much to the detrment of his
unmcntionablcs The other party then
told him that he was all right; that he
would swear that he had kno wn him since
the time he had crawled.
