The English Mission

The Eoglish mission yet hangs in abey-
ance. Mr. Motley. recalled from the post
only awaits a successor. Mr. Morton. ap.
pointed in hi- place, declines from an I'M
willingness to relinqcish bis seat in the Sen
ate to Democrat Happily, the delay in
filing the mission has resulted in no p-eiu-
dice to our national interests. 1t is more
important TO secure fit representative than
to send oue in prccipitate haste. OF all our
public men. Mr.. Charles Francis Adams is
unqucstionably the best fitted for this parti-
cuar post at this particular time. Repre-
sentin- Us IN London throughout tie war,
and managing cur case during its first and
most intricate stages. he is qualified above
all Others 10 conduct it to successful con-
clu.ion But Mr. Adams has retired from
public life and his appointment is not within
the scope Of probability. Gen. Schenck
and Senator Trumbull, have been named for
the post. Mr. George William Curtis. who
has given special attention 10 the Alabama
question, has also been urged for this Office,
and would make an excellent representative.
So far the Administration, If it has not been
fortunate in designating those who would
accept il, has at least been successful in
naming those who were competent and We
may trust it to ind another The time is
opporIune for the appointment. The Eng
lish Cabinet has instructed its representa-
tive at Washington to ascertain whether it
would be agreeable to our Government to
reopen the Alabama question, and with
judicious Minister at London, and a firm
and decJrous course On tie part Of our
government, there i little doubt that neSo-
tiations could now be re-openei with the best
prospect Of a speedy and satisfactory settle
ment being reached.

The McGarrahan Claim.

The New York EreUng Post publishes
letters from several Secretaries OF the Interior
and Attorne.s- General, and other official docu-
ments. concerning this case. To which the
correspondence between the President and
Secretary Cox lately published has attracted
some attention. Il is a claim Of McGarra-
han to he put in possession by the United
States Of land in California, on which are
valuable quicksilver mines Of the New ilria
mining Company, on the ground of an old
Mexican land grant.
The Post sums up these documents as -
tablishing:
ls.. That McGarrahsn's claim hsd been with
in hve years decided unfounde1 by the Supreme
Court Of the United States, and that court, il
fact, in ITS decisions, showed that some Of the
persons concerned in il have been guilty Of gros:
fraud.
% The claim had been oficislly exposed by
two different Attorneys-General OF the United
States, as fraudulent.
Sd 1t had been before Congress, and Coz
gressionsl committee had decided against it.
4th. Attorney General Hosr officially instruct
ed Secretary Cox that under these circumstsn
ces he had no right TO deny the demand of thu
opponents of McGarrahsn to hsve their CLAIM
investigated.
9th. Under this opinion Of Attorney Genera
Hoar Secretary Cox ordered, not that the New
Idria Company should have their patent, bu
only that in the regular course of business the
claim should be examined at the Land Office
Hereupon, Lewis Dent, brother law of tn
President, went to Long Branch. where tn
President was staying, and. in the interest O
McGarrshsn and his fellow claimants. persuad
ed him to forbid the action of Secretary Cox.
At the same time McGsrrahsn induced a mi
nority of the judges Of the Court Of the Distric
Of Columbia, in vacation, aud in the absence O

the majority, and after they had once been re,
buked by the Supreme Court for similar illegal
interference with the constitutional province OF
the Executive. 70 make an order against the Sec
rotary to show cause why mdRdamus should
not be issued forbidding him to have the New
Iiria claim examined.
Thereupon Secretary Cox wrote to the Presi'
dent an account Of the case, believing him to be
uniformed of the facts; pointed out to him that
the Court proposed gross interference with the
Executive authority; and asked him to come TO
Washington, call Cabinet meeting, and desl
with the business in business manner.

". de Lesseps has been lost sight Of since he
conducted the escape Of his Imperial patroness
from the Tuileries, but his great work at Suez is
heard from az doing its appointed business in
good style and IS gradually approaching that
efficiency which is claimed for it Since the
opening, ten months ago, the channel has been
considerably deepened by dredging, so that
twenty-five feet is now the minimum depth. The
wash from steamers is slight, the banks, accord
ing to an English correspondent, seem firm, and
there are no signs Of drift By using steam
tug as well as a pilot, vessels pass through the
canal at speed Of FIVE or six nautical miles an
hour, and the only improvements Of immediate
necessity are widening Of the channel, go that
boats may pass each other more readily. and the
addition Of sidings. Financially, the canal does
not pay. 1t is doing about one-third the bust
ness necessary to make up the interest on It's
capital, to say nothing Of the cost Of main
tenAnce and Improvements. But the war has a
depressing effect, and the next SIX months will
bring greater traffic.

The Cincinnati Commercial asks, Allusiyely,
Whstsre the principles Of the democratic party
The question is difficult to snswer. The princi-
pies of the party some few years ago were repu-
distion of the national debt, opposition to the
Fifteenth Amendment, to the reconstruction pol
icy of Congress, and before that to the war. All
these issues have been settled, and there is really
very little to quarrel about at the present time.
There Is a cry about reducing the burdens Of
taxation, but the republican party is doing that
as fas; as possible The fact is, the democratic
party is willing to wear shy livery, if itcan only

Nothing could be more absurd than the
attempts of the Democratic press to repre-
sent local ard accidental reverses in the re
cent elections as a formal condemnation Of
abe Republican party. In the first place,
the elections have not turned upon national
issues. The national policy Of either party
kas not been on trial. Local and personal
considerations were paramount IN nearly
every election which took place. Even
in New York it cannot he said that the
Republican policy has been condemned; all
that car be truly affirmed, IS that corrupt
local organization has triumPhed by the use
of means peculiar to itself Whatever dis
asters have occurred in Illinois proceeded
from strictly local causes and the Missouri
contest, which has transferred certain local
advantages To the Democracy, had no refer
