.Ehe AInhanan Question.

The Northern papers, headed by the
New York Hcy0Int are. with few eNccp-
tio,%, working themselves into a fury of
excitement about the position just taken
by the English government with regard TO
the Washington treaty. After investigating
the subject and sitting it from all the chaf
and buucomhe under which gassy congress
nIen and editors have almost snothered it,
the conclusion tn which amy honest man
viii come, is that England has perfectly
Just cause for her course of action. Even
Ben Buil4r, who has been most bitterly hos
tile tn England, and who would have pre-
cipiatcd the country into Il war with her
on the Fisheries question, says openly hat
- we presented case We had agreed not to
present" and that the terms aud impli-
cations Of the treaty are, that only specific
acts and specific damages can be consider
ed. England WAS willing to submit to ar
htraton the claims Of the United States to
indemnity for the private and specific losses
of individuals in consequence OF the opera
tions OF the Alabama and other Conteder-

Britain. if flIe ;ubitratoIs should
decide hat she la,i been remiss in the cX-
ecution Of her neutrality laws. England
might have been willing also to- pay the
cost of the national ;lrmamcntS necessary
to pursue and capture those cruisers;
but She understood that all claims for
damages should be limited to those specific
items. Now, indeed, new and most pre-
pOsterolls claim is asserted, and is to be
urged before the tribunal Of arbitration.
il is that Great Britain shall he held re-
SponSible for all indirect damages, that is to
say, for the prolongation OF the war after
the battle Of Gettysburg, for, it is argued,
that all offensive operations on the part of
the rebels ceased after that battle except OH
the seas; aud without the aid aud comfort
given by England the war must have
closed then. Upon this view of the case
the indemnity claimed might amount to
hundreds OF millions-in fact, to fully one
half the debt incurred by the United States
in subduing the South, say some two thou
sand millions. Upon this most unexpected
and extravagant demand, Great britain
declares that she never meant TO submit

SIR SAMUEL BAkEF tells uo of Il piglny
race OF people in the central portions OF
Africa, who appear to be mean and degrad-
ed in exact proportion to their diminutivc-
ness. 1t is by some such force OF contrast,
doubtless, that the intellectual littleness OF
'.our President" but serves to exhibit nore
strikingly his personal, moral and political
deficiencies. Many men are ruined by
undue promotion, as the proportions of a
statue are marred by improper elevation.
We knew of some, for instance, during the
late ''unpleasantness,n who were efficient
and capable as captains or colonies, btt
who, when oraced with the stars Of briga-
