The London Standard, Tory or
gan, after abusing America for shiftli-
ness, arrogance aud greed, says that
no English minister ever had to make
any explanations SO humiiating as
Lord Clarendon uttered last night be-
fore the House of Lords. However
conscious of sincerity of motive and
rectitude of conduct, it was no less
humiliating to be Obliged to treat un-
conditional phrases of diplomacy with
the country that has acted as the Uni.
ted States has done In the Alabama
case.
He admits, however, that it is still
his duty, notwithstanding the past, to
renew his efforts, even without any
hope of honest desire for concord
being rightly interpreted by auy bat
by small section of the American
people.
Lord Clarendon then announced
that his Government would not refuse
TO reopen negotiations, provided they
were not approached 10 a spirit SINH
lar to that which animated Senator
sumner speech, which was so ap-
plaudsd by the American Senate !;

uistakable expression OF English
opinion, made with dignifed firmness
and an indication of national resolve.
From what transpired In the House
of Lords last night, Mr.. Motley can
ascertain what hopes there are to
reopen negotiations, and he will see
that 10 the opinion of EDglishmen,
that country has gone far enough.
WHAT he may solicit he can find in
the articles OF renewed convention,
and what 1t is hopeless even to sug-
gests he can. discover in Senator
Summers speech; he will learn from
the earnest language and manly bear
ing Of Lord Clarendon that foreign
office never will put a Troublesome
pressure upon the new American
Minister to his completion of this
difficult task, and moreover, England
IS ready to cancel every trace of angry
feeling thar may for a lime disturb the
atfectionato relations of kindred peo-
pie.
