A GENTLEMAN in Chicago offers to be

each as q testimonial of respect to Her.
bert Spencer, who is reported to be SUI
fering from extreme poverty in England.
When sucn man as Herbert Spencer is
suffering from extreme poverty, and you
can afford to give him five hundred dol
lars, send it to him at Cnce, and do not
wait until you can hunt up nine others
who will do likewise. Look for them
after you have forwarded your five hun

THE ALABAMA Ca.Arns.

England could afford to pay round
price for the monopoly of the worlds
carrying trade. Confederate cruisers
crippled American commerce the Rsdi-
cal tariff has effectually prevented it's re.
cuperatiOn; and England has pocketed
immense profits. On the South Pacific
coast, for instance, there is not at present
q single line of American vessels; the
English have no rivals, and charge as
they please. For transportation five hun
dred miles along the coast they charge
20c apiece for pineapples, 81 bunch
for bananas, $40 head for cattle. Flour
is tc- Jay $2S s,bsrrel in Peru, all in conse-
quence of this English monopoly. .rE
All this might be soon remedied if the
high protective interests of New England
permitted the wholesome free-trade spirit
that dotted the seas of all the world with
our flag before the war. Americans have
no one to blame but their own Radical
administration for the continuance of the
present state of affairs. England's real
wrong in the Alabama matter is that she
promoted Northern abolition and coquetted
with Southern secession, with the one
shop keeper idea Of destroying the United
States IS her successful rival on the high
seas.
The disgrace of Charles Sumner from
the Foreign Craftsmanship, is generally
attributed to the San Domingo job. 1t
may be that the coming adjustment of
the Alabama claims had more to do with
it England has acquired an unenviable
Rotoriety for using gold in diplomacy.
And our "gifted" President has, unfor-
tunately, an equally well established rep
utstion. Our notes from the High Com
mission are eminently mesgre And unsat-
isfactory. With Simon Cameron as For
eign Chairman, and Senate sold over TO
the President, We advise Don Piatt and
Terence McGrant to watch this Alabama
business closely, or Its settlement may be
another COB" of huge dimensions.

When Scotland became part of Great
Britain, under james of England, who
was James V of Scotland, son Of Mary
Queen of Scots, the Scotch entered the
Union as equals and were treated as such.
They retained their own laws, and were
ruled by officials selected from their own
people. Hence, with all their independ-
ence, the Scotch have generally proved
contented and loyal, the exceptioral ris-
ings in favor of the Pretender and his
son, being of French origin and securing
but a slight foothold among them. Ire
land, on the contrary, has been q source of
constant disquietude, because from the
first it has been treated as o conquered
people, who were to be distrusted and
must be ruled by English carpet baggers
or native scalswags not in sympathy with
the people. Six hundred years of such
rule, with the severest penal legislation,
enforced with armies of SPECIAL police
such as is now proposed for revenue
service in the South, together with the
presence of British troops that had made
the power of England feared on every
continental field, have not suficed to
make the Irish one whit more loyal.
Even within the past two weeks the pres
ent Ministry have declared in Parliament
that the situation in Ireland ia 'salarm.
ing" and more legislation and more troops
are demanded. If il were In the nature of
things possible to legislate people into
loyalty, the Irish ought to be indeed the
most loyal, for every ingenuity of
law and of force has been
exhausted on them. II our Radical breth-
rem read that sad page Of history, they
viii see that when they have made every
Southern born ineligible to the meanest
office, and closed all the professions to
our young men, forcing on Us Northern
lawyers, doctors and engineers; when
they have dotted the country over with
armed citadels, whose cannon train on
our cities and towns; when none but a
national police patrol throughout our Dor.
ders, and none but the loyal sit On juries /;
when they have even gone SO far as to
osiracise our Southern churches 40 being
relics Of secession-they will still, in all
human probability, ind their work as
incomplete as the pacifcation of
Ireland to-day. Better restore our old
Union by restoring mutual confidence.
We are more interested in the security OF
life and property among US, than North
ern Radicals can be. Aud we are inter-
ested also, in our good name, because we
are DESTROYS of the aid of foreign capital
and immigration to help build up our
waste places. Every material motive and

THE FIGHT OF THE FACTIONS

A pretty quarrel as it stands. The ia
natics against the corruptionists. Charles
Sumner is representative of those origi-
nal bigo,s, who before they attained pow
CT were wont to hail the national colors
as 'hate's polluted rag" and have done
their utmost since to make 1t such; who
used to spostrophize England to ''deep
sink it in the sea, destroy it ye who
can" These, the Summers, Wilson's,
Hales, Greeleys, Phillipses, were the soul
of Radicalism, very difereat from that
body of corruptionists, the Camerons,
Buffers and Grants whom success and
plumber have drawn to its ranks. This
separation of soul and body betokens the
early dissolution of Radicalism.

General Butler.

Gen. Butler is irrepressible In Massachu
sets, the veal or woe of the country seems tC
depend upon whether he is elected Governor
this Fall. Accordingly he has been " inter
viewed" Smilingly he gives his views upon
all the great questions that agitate the old Bay
State. Like fisherman he skilIfully spreads
nets in all directions over the waters Of the
troubled politics of his State. Evidently he
has profited by his residence among his Essex
county constituency. He lets the labor reform
ers understand at more than twenty years
ago be was the idolized champion of the ten
hour men at Lowell, and that he now believes
their French confJeTes, the communists, were
nobly fighting for local self government
that they we're not such destructiOnists in
Overthrowing the column Of Yendome as the
American rebels Of 10 in throwing down
the statue of George III in New York, be
cause the latter melted the royal image
which was Of lead, and fired it at his majes-
ty's troops in the form Of bullets, and that
even the excuses Of the commune are more
than palliated by the cruelty Of the usurping
government.
Neither does the General forget to bait the
Fenian fishes. For them he has - views y
upon the recent riot to offer While he
does not doubt that if one procession should
be allowed, the same privilege should be
granted to all, yet he questions the propri-
ETY. Of permitting any professions like that
of the Orangemen. Moreover he docs not
believe that the militia were justified in fir
ing upon the crowd Certainly they were
in no danger, and it was very wicked in them
if they fred for the sake of retaliation. Sol
diers were intended to forgive their enemies,
and to pray for, rather than fire upon, those
who desplteiully use them. 1t is his opinion
be could have managed matters much better,
and have prevented all i'll feeling.
Neither does he forget the female fishes
and their friends. With a fascinating
glance Of his. eye, he says softly that he has
no views to offer on the woman suffrage
question, for did he not some time ago, after
a careful study of the constitution of the
United States, declare that women have al
ready the right to vote, whatever State con-
situations may say to the contrary.
As to what his course will be in case of
his non election, he replies " with a smile =
that he has never contemplated such con
tingency. Why should he with 70 many
well baited nets? Perhaps the people Of the
State may have done so without much pain,

me to be mutual admiration society between
the East and the West,we repaired once more
on board the boat for our return trip, which
was very delightful. We passed between
the islands into the open sea and came back
into the bay by the main ship channel. The
wind had been blowing from the northeast
for some time and when out on the ocean,
the swells shook the boat good deal, while
all was calm and still in the bay.
All seemed to enjoy themselves, and part
ed with the best feelings and wishes, and
confident that the ocean and the prairies
would soon be bound together by bands of
iron that could not be broken.

\ FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. another Of
those terrible steamboat explosions, which
have made the internal navigation of the
country so dangerous of late, occurred at
New York last Sunday. While the Staten
Island Ferry Boat was crowded with Sunday
excursionists, the boiler Of the engine ex-
ploded, and q terrible destruction of life and
limb ensued. Over fifty persons were killed
and more than a hundred others were terri
bly, scalded, mangled and manned. just who
was to blame does not appear, although in
tense indignation was felt against the en-
gineer The boiler had been inspected by
the United States officials short time pre-
viously This terrible accident causes the
inquiry which has been so often proposed at
the repetition ofsimilar disasters, to be again
repeated Can not some method Of inspec-
ton be adopted, which will insure greater
degree Of safety, to those who trust them
selves within the power Of steam boilers
