THE country owes large debt Of g1ati-
tude to the talented and fearless Beck, of
Kentucky, for the manner in which he has
exposed the corruptions of the Grant party.
In recent speech in the House Of Repre-
seRtatives he was particularly plain and Sc
we're upon Indian Agents and Indian thefts,
in which retsiners of certain Senators are
SAID to be interested. Mr.. Beck's language
was 10 the point. He charges that a large
proportion of the amount put in the Indian
Appropriation bill-S6, 10000 mere
stealing, and promises to prove bis asser-
ton before the House and the country.
He would do that now, but for the fact
that the Presidential election impends, and
all he could say would be set down to party
malice, and the men implicated be white
washed by an investigating committee, to
save the administration from damage. Mr..
Beck knows what he is talking about, and
will keep his word at the proper time.
That the country may depend upon, and
also the big and little plunderers in the IL
dian line.

There is 50 much Of poetic justice In
the present humiliation. 1t was when
England was trying to keep out Of the
FrancO-Prussian explosion, that Russia
took occasion to "seize" her rights on the
Black Sea. Our readers remember the hot
words between Granville and Goriscbakof.
England was pledged to war for the Turk,
and in all probability war would then have
ensued on the Eastern question, had not
Uncle Sam taken mean advantage
Of the situation to below at the back
door for bis Alabama claims. In such
a pedicament England was very con-
ciliatory, the joint commission was
organized, and "promises" were made with
eowardly facility. Russia got her rights,
and the Grant administration has since
gotten up miserable squabble with that
government. England gained time, and
America has been euchred. If this coun-
try should push the matter with England
now, there is likelihood that Spain would
back her in just the same manner as
this government backed Russia. The whirl-
igig Of time has its revenges. Viewing the
matter, however, from the higher stand
point of the worlds welfare, we are con-
strained to believe, from what we can
gather of the supplemental article now
negotiating, that the treaty thus amended
will be better for this country, by the same
reasons that it is better for England, the
character and policy of the two countries
being SO similar. But for this improve
ment, we have to thank British diplomacy.
We cannot accord the Grant administra-
ton even the poor merit of 'blundering''
into the right.

CONSEQUENTIAL.

The dispute of the United States with
Great Britain, after passing through several
phases not very honorable to this country,
now eliminates in an shject abandonment
of the American claim. Such is the "case"
as made up by Grants Radical administra-
ton. Our real grievance began many q
year ago, when England, under the moral
mask of opposition to Southern slavery-a
paradise compared with the bondage in
which the Sepoys Of India are held to this
day under Colonial laws-secreLly fostered
the abolition agitation in this county. So
that when New England patriots hailed
the national flag as ''hate's polluted rag"
and sighed to ''tear down" the same, they
naturally turned toward England with the
'loyal" refrain:
"DestrOy it, ye 'glO cam
Deep sink it meath the wave.'
When this propagandism at length caused
the flag to be storm down" in twelve of
these States, it is no secret that secession
was encouraged by British statesmen. II
deed, we have the authority of Mr. Seward
for the statement that England at that epoch
diligently sought some excuse for declaring
war the United States. The darling OBJ
ject of all this was to cripple most formi-
dable commercial rival; and thanks to Rad
ical obtuseness, the scheme has succeeded
pretty effectually in the last ten years.
Such has been the hardly disguised hostility
ofEngland for whole generation past. The
sailing of the Alabama was mere episode.
During the late war England looked after
English interests only. Her natural atti.
tude was to exercise, not the greatest
vigilance, but the very least that was
possible or compatible with keeping up ap-
pearances. She may now be anxious to re-
establish national courtesies; but when she
goes further and processes desire to repair
all the mischief she has done this country,
she is hypocritical. Senator Sumner may
well assume that infinitely more is due the
country than the mere value of the vessels
actually destroyed by "Anglo-Rebel privat-
GERS" Mr.. Sumner is doubtless kpoaoing
witness, for he was the pet and bosom con-
fidant of British diplomats when a United
States Senator fifteen and eighteen years
ago he was plotting rebellion in Kansas.
Following an old Anglo-Saxon law that
compounded all crimes with money, Eng
land now proposes to make good an open
insult and sundry slaps on the face done to
Brother Jonathan, by paying fine. And
Grants Administration has been higgling
about more money to be paid for some
consequential kicks and cuffs. But in
1uences have been brought to bear. This
administration is not only singularly 'tgif-
ed" but seems open indefinitely to be
further gifted. And so the indirect claims
for the total humiliation of the commercial
marine of the United States have fallen to
the ground.
From sectional standpoint, it is none
of our quarrel, and we could well afford to
laugh at the ridiculous attitudes successive
ly assumed by our New England friends,
were not the national reputation involved.

THE ADAMS MOVEMENT.

The Albany Argus, the old Democratic
organ at the capital of New York, says
"When we recollect that the New York
World, after denOuncing any one who
should 90 to Cincinnati to contradict it,
pledged the Democratic party to accept the
nomination Of Charles Francis Adams, as a
matter Of course, its Convention to be a
mere formality, its electoral masses to be
transferred unanimously and without the
formality Of consultation, we confess
we wonder at its intense antipa-
thy TO the editor of the Tribune. When a
Democrat can 60 as far as Adams, the rest
of the way seems to us short and easy"
The argus adds:
"There is this to be considered also in
relation TO the Adams movement. If Mr..
A. had been nominated at Cincinnati, we
believe he would have declined, on the as
surance of being the nominee of the Repub-
licans in 1876. His letter TO Wells was the
apparent prelude to such a course; aud
there are some facts which place his atti-
tude in that light. In that case the Cincin-
natl movement would have been an abor-
ton; and those who participated in it would
be now spending their time in deciding who
of its movers were the knaves, and who the
dupes.
"As the Cincinnati nomination now pre-
sents itself-that intrigue being defeated
there is necessarily a wide discrepancy Of
feeling among Democrats. We have gone
through many phases Of opinion and still
more of feeling in this regard. AS Pope
said of some seductive vices, in a phrase
which a cynIe psrodist has applied to the
most virtuous of the sexes
But seen too oft, familiar with its face,
We first endure, thenpity, then embrace.
"When the World, the Chicago Times
and the Richmond Enquirer recoil before
the Cincinnati nominations, we no
more suspect them of selfish mo-
tiveS than we do the Boston Post,
which regards the question in the
spirit of an eclectic philosopher, OF that old
sturdy and Spartan organ of Democracy,
the Hartford Times which sees in the
present crisis an opportunity to overthrow
the corrupt military dynasty at Washing
ton.
EfWe have looked forward to the contest
now opening as a campaign of reconcilia-
ton. Let not Democrats commence it, by
opening against each other these batteries
of elimination and recriminatiOn. We
have no traitors in our ranks, no towards;
but there are honest differences which time
and events will reconcile. Let us await
this time; and prepare to abide the results"
