exultant. over the edifcauon It had given to
Parliament on the subject. The royal speech
was signalls unsatisfactory, and showed, In
bis opinion, that the government still lacked
proper appreciation of the gravity of The
question at Issue between England and the
United States. The American claims were
greater than those which would follow total
conquest. They were preposterous, impracti-
cable, and If admitted would be fatal to the
power and honor of England. Yet, said Dis
raeli, sneeringly, the whole subject Is dis
posed of In one brief paragraph OF the royal
speech.
Mr. Gladstone tollowed In reply. He said
the Treaty of Washington itself shows that
England is ready to make every concession
short of national honor to establish friendly
relations with America, and to set an exam
pie to be followed by other nations hence
forth. The government, said the premier, is
ready to explain everything In connection
with the treaty, but 1t will not admit that it
has unwitting1y made a mistake. The para.
graph In the treaty !. the only fair and unmls-
taxable Interpretation of the treaty. He
could, If he desired, iefer to the preposterous
character of the American demands, which of
itself proved their absurdity-for they were
such as no people In lie last extremity of war,
or In the lowest depth of national misfortune,
with the spirit Of the people of England In
their hearts, would ever submit to. GCheers.l
Mr.. Gladstone concluded by saying that the
government would maintain the position 1t
had taken firmly, though In friendly man
ner.

THE VALIDITY OF NEGRO DEBTS
An Interesting Case at Chester.
From the Chester Reporter.l

From the Chester Reporter.
The Common Pleas docket being called, the
first case taken up was A. 8. Wallace. Trustee,
vs.. C. D. Melton and n. r Eaves. This was
consideration of which was the purchase
money of negro slave. The plea OF the de-
PENDANTS YVES failure Of consideration, and the
unsoundness of the negro was relied upon 10
establish the plea. Messrs. Walker q Brlce
were attorneys for the plaintiff and Messrs.
McAliley & Brawley for the defendants: Mr, !:
McAliley made very interesting argument TO
the court and jury against the validity ofnegro
debts. He took the ground that slavery was
entirely an institution of force, that 1t did not
find It's origin In the common law, that It mad
no legal or moral sanctlon, and thar, there-
fore, when the force which upheld 1t was over
come by other force and the Institution fell,
ali contracts which owed their origin to the
Institution fell with It. General Walker replied
with force, impressing the jury with the law
as laid down by the Supreme Court. and charg-
ing them that 1t was t6eir duty to be governed
by that law in making up their verdict IN the
case. Judge Thomas, while expressing him
BY Mr.. McAnley, told the jury that he was
bound by the law as laid down BY the Supreme
Court, and was obliged to charge them that
negro debts were as valid as any other debts.
The Jury retired, and In few minutes brought
In verdict for the defendants. The plain
tiffs gave notice OF motion for new trial.
This 10 the first case tried here since the war
In which the validity of negro debts was In.
Eolved. AS there are many of the same kind
on the docket.it was considered important as 3
precedent. As, however, the negro was proved
to have been very uusound at the time OF the
purchase, and source otexpense, rather than
of profit, to the purchaser from that time I'LL
the time of her death, the jury may have based
their finding altogether upon the fact of un-
soundness, and may not have considered at
all the general question as to the validity OF
such debts.

GRANTS HaRDS ENSE.
From the New York Times. ]

General Grant has resolved to make no
modification In our case as 1t was originally
presented, and In doing 80 he will be support
ed by the country. AS for talk OF war, 1t Is
too absurd for serious discussion. The people
of England do not want 10 go 10 war with
this cOuntry-thls country does not want to
20 to war with them. Probably such an Issue
hos never been seriously discussed, even In
the most intemperats of the English journals.
The cable messages are very apt to misrepre-
sent and exaggerate comments on such sub
jecte It suits some hare-brained writer's 10
get up war-cry, but the bulk OF the people
Ia the United States and Eogland know that
war between two such nations would be dis
grace to civilization, and they are not likely
to be bounded into 1t BY passionate Journal
lists. If the Geneva Conference should iail,
we shall only be where we were beforei but
the position OF England will be worse than 1t
was before. and It Is to be hoped that Mr..
Gladstone and his government will perceive
this, II bis advisers In the press do not.

THE ENGLISH VIEW OF TIE CASE.
How the CommiIsiopers Understand
the Treaty.

In view of the excited spirit of the Eogllsh
press on the Alabamaclaims, and of the vague
and weak treatment of this question in the
Queens speech, the blowing from the New
York World Is worth arefnl consideration:
The remarks made " Sir Stafford Northcote,
(who, 1t will be remembered, was one of the
British commissioner in Washington,) In 8
speech in Parliament on the evening Of Au-
gust 4, 1871, upon ths motion of Sir Charles
Addersley for the production of copies of
menr to the commissioners at Washington,
are of interest al this moment Sir
Charles, It, will be remembered, was an 'un.
friendly critic of the treaty, which was vlndi-
Gated In an elaborate ipsech by Sir Ronndell
Palmer, Zone of the B.ltish counsel at Gene
va,) by Mr.. Gladstone and by Sir Stafford
Northcote. In the effort of the latter to make
the treaty acceptable 70 Parliament and to the
British public, he commented distinctly upon
the very question of consequential damages
which now exclteB 80 much emotion In LON
don. He appears to hive declared explicitly
that, In his opinion. rItle treaty excluded all
claims for indirect LOSES; but what he says,
however, only goes to the extent of an 1ndi.
cation on his part of what he intended, and Of
the proper Interpretation to beput upon the
document. He says:
'lHG ClhlIuo hslslus WI VI tuC hCGs VI tuo
Alabama and other vessels were most clearly
defined in the treaty. The honorable MEM
Der for Richmond had Hmarked that the pre-.
vious conventions left many points vague.
and introduced numbsr Of claims which we
could never have admitted. They were lefC
so vague, indeed, that would have been pos.
sble under those claims to have raised q
number of questions which this country was
not willing to submitto arbitration. They
might have raised questions with regard to
what they called EnglAd's premature recog-
nition of belllgerency And the consequential
damages arising from the prolongation of the
war, and with regard tlso to other questions
which this country COLD not have admitted.
Instead of this being The case, however, the
treaty, as actually Concluded, narrowed the
questions at issue yer! closely. by con6nlng
the reference solely tolosses growing out of
the acts of particular vessels, and so shutting
out large class of claims upon which Amer-
cans had heretofore insss tied. He contended,
therefore, that the Joint High Commission
had upon this point worked substantial adyau-
tage rather that Injury to this country"
