certainly comes under that class, az the secrecy
which characterizes its various branches OF late Is
something remarkable, and proves at least one old
maxim, that experience is a very good teacher.
The divulging OF their plans on former occasions
having opened their eyes to these matters the 'spyn
who would now enter into their secret workings
would have 10 exert more than ordinary abilities.
Last evening the James stephens Circle held
meeting at NO West Fourth street. to which place
they have transferred their meetings from Military

months organized, and has some fifty members,
most OF whom assembled at the above rendezvous
for the purpose OF drilling and for general business.
The men who form this circle all present the appear

Prof. Goldu-n smiths Latest Advice
10 England.

To the Editor of tho London Daily News;
SIR-The extreme positions of Mr.
Summers speech may now be said to
have been repudiated by public opinion
in America; the intention of coeroing
us by the threat Of war has been dis,
claimed, and the attitude assumed
toward England by General Grants
Government is smicsble and courteous.
IL the British Government now saw fit,
without further discussion, to take q
frank and generous step in advance, the
motive Of the act could not be misunder-
stood, nor could the honor Of England
suffer any disparsgement
am aware that the case of the Ala
bama is case for arbitration, and that
an arbitrator, representing the general
rights and interests of nations, should be
slow to hold a neutral power responsible
in damages for q mere failure to prevent
a violation of its territory, there being
no evidence Of completely or connivance.
But if policy suggests, there is nothing
to forbid REIMBURSEMENT OF our strict
legal rights, though no policy can war
rant an abandonment Of honor. Aud the
voice OF true honor tells US that the Ala
bams ought not to have escaped.
A spontaneous offer Of compensation
for the mischief done by the Alabama,
made ST this moment, would, as believe,
satisfy the great msjority Of the Ameri-
can people, and close, morally, as we'll as
legally, q controversy which is full of
evil-not sentimental only, but CONNER
cisl-st present, and which is fraught
with danger for the future.
/ am, etc, GOODWIN SMITH.
