" Mr.. johnson is an aristocmt by instinct, and

as one who had conceived a sudden and strong
love for mOnnrchical institutions, and for Dukes

perience and services in England as deserving the
eternal gratitude OF his countrymen, and there is
no doubt in the world that he looks 10 a reyusion
OF public sentiment in his favor.

Captain b. II. MANNiNG.
Very respectfully, yours,
$. Z. CHASE.

y Mr. Justin Mccarthy, the editor Of the
London Morning Star, addressed an audience in
Cooper Institute on Monday evening, ON Eng
land and the Alabama claims" The speaker
made a very friendly and sensible speech OF the
responsibility of England for the building Of the
Alabama he thought there could be no question,
and detailed the circumstances of her construc-
ton, equipment and departure, to show that it
was perfectly well known for what purpose she
was intended. SO far as he expressed any opn-
ion ON the recognition branch Of the question, it
was precisely the view held by those who endorse
Mr.. Summers speech. lie could not understand
what good the English government could expect
to gum by refusing 10 submit the question Of re-
cogntion well as the others to arbitration II
they did right, why not trust the matter to an
impartial Judge He thought upon this matter
that England should take more generous and
liberal view of the whole question, and be willing
to submit all the questions raised to arbitration.
50 that the world might judge as to what was
right and what was wrong. lie thought how
ever, that it would be well for us to lay aside all
grounds of complaint because the sympathies of
England were against as during the war While
not admitting that the charge was just, he thought
it not worth while to press it if it were

Tho nlscndoMment QUESTION.

7 The question Of the discsahlshment Of the Irish
Church is now assuming degree Of importance
in England, compared with which the Alabama
question shrinks into utter insgniicanco for no
one can fail 10 see that, although the measure Of
disendowmcnt is for the present limited to Ire
land, the same arguments, and the same reasons
for change, must be applicable TO the Anglican
Church everywhere that the bishops and clergy

ileges aud hold powers which are denied to their
brethren elsewhere The English hierarchy dis

formidable combined opposition to the reform.
Nor do the Liberal leaders attempt to deny that
their fears are well founded. John Bright is a
leader ol the relormcrs and member Of the Cab
met which introduced The Irish Church bill to the
Commons. lie distinctly asserts that this meas.
tire IS only an entering wedge that English dis

10 demand and expect relief from q system which
they deem oppressive, and yiolat,e Of their rights

final result can hardly be regarded az doubtful.
For some time It has been an interesting prob

Sabbalh Reform In Pnris.

AS we stated few days since, movement has
recently been instituted in Paris to secure the
observance of Sunday as day OF rest, which is
meeting with promising success. Ii is not under
the auspices Of any religious organization, or
Sabbath reform committee, but is movement
from the class for whom the day was pre-eminent-
y made--tho working-men. Clerks in stores,
feeling that the fatigue which must necessarily
follow incess,nt labor is wearing upon their sys-
tens, and forcing them to premature exhaustion,
distributed petition tn their employers, asking
chat the stores be closed ON the sabbath This
petition has been very generally signed, aud It's
prayer 1t is understood will be granted The OBJ
serynuco of the day thus asked for, is based on
two laws co-equal in their authority, and plainly
imperative in their requirements The one is
the necessity which exists for physical relaxation
and rest The other is the obligation Of spiritu-
al instruction. The Parisnns have hitherto ig-
nOred both these considerations Regardless of
the health of those who unfortunately are com
PEELED to minister 10 their ambitions or dissipa-
tons, they have insisted that all such shall work
constantly in the employments to which they are
accustomed. Now while the reform asked for is
based nainly upon tile plea OF needed rest, there
is abundant reason to hope that the other and
higher use Of the sabbath will follow. Not all
will thrust aside the reflections and opportunities
afforded by this day. There will soon be appar-
ent an improved mental and moral condition of
the luh0ring classes Of Paris, as the legitimate
result of this relormatory movement, undertaken
from the lower motive Ofcourse the day will
not be observed like an American sabbath bnt

The Commissioner and the Whisky Ring.

The Toledo (Ohio) Commercial, published in
the dstiery region, says that since Hon. Column
bus Deano was placed at the head Of the depart
mcnt the whiskey rings have been thrown
into confusion, and distillers have been at loss
TO know what to do. In numerous instances
their establishments have been closed. The whs-
key which had been manufactured and sold, under
an evasion Of the revenue laws, at figures below
the government tax, was upon the market, and
manufacturers could not pay the tax on the new
~ manufactured spirits and compete with those
who had the unmxed whiskey on hand. It has
been necessary, therefore, for manufacturers to
await the exhaustion of the stock on hand before
going into market with an article manufactured
under the proper enforcement of the revenue laws
This was undoubtedly the cause Of the general
suspension Of operations on the part Of distillers
The stopping of the distilerics did not check
the consumption of whiskey, and the result has
been an exhaustion Of the stock on hand to such
an extent that prices have materially advanced
until distilers can now pay the tax on their whis
key and then dispose OF it at handsome profits.
No stronger evidence Of the fiithiulncss and in
tcgrity OF the new internal revenue officers could
he adduccd. There is no installing its meaning
It tells plainly that whiskey rings do not and
cannot control the new Commissioner or his sub
ordiuates. The effect will be to inspire confidence
in that important branch Of the Government and
to secure to the treasury vast amounts Of money
which otherwise would go into the pockets Of
corrupt rings"
Those who Lest know commissioner Delano
predicted, at the time his appointment was an
nounced that he was just the man for the place
that his unyielding integrity would insure the
honest administration Of the affairs of his depart
mcnt and the overthrow Of the corrupt a" rings
which had been for 80 long time in undisputed
control OF the internal revenue affairs of the coun-
try. The facts show that their predictions were
well iounded-that they did not oycr-csthnatc the
character Of the new commissioner

Posting The Books.

The close of this month brings the end of the
current financial year of the United States so
that the entire receipts and expenditures can now
he told with tolerable accuracy. The result is
very nearly as follows
Receipts nom all sources. $500 100000
Expenditures, including interest on the pub
nc utNl 31iuOOnl
Surplus applicable to reduction Of debit. 100000
Last year Mr.. Commissioner Wells estimated
the receipts ut $500, 200 600, and the expend-
lures Mt S326, 300, 600 prediction which has
been substantially verified This is a most salts
factory statement but with the reforms proposed
by President Grant, larger reduction ofexpcnd-
lures may be expected next year, with a still
larger sum left to be appropriated toward paying
the debt
Thepeople will not fail to compare these actual
results with the righiul predictions of Mr. lIora-
ito Seymour, and his man Friday, Mr. Delmar,
during the late Presidential canvass; the former
confidently predicting that the years expenses Of
the army alone would amount to S2iO,OOO, 900,
while the latterhgured up deficiency for tho year
of Si3i 600 900.
