An ENGLISH OPINION.

The leading English Journals are
quite fair in their comments on the
political situation in this country.
The London Times, abiding to the
presidential plication, uses the fol-
lowing impartial language: 1.-THE
technical controversies that are now
the battle-ground of parties involve
the most momentous political issues,
and IN the obscuriiy of rival interpre.
tations no one can confidently say that
the law will lie able to determine them
clearly and finally. 1t is not denied,
however, by anybody, that If such a
determination were Immediately pos.
sible, it would be received by the
whole community with complete and
loyal a~cquiescence. There is. more
over, a conviction among the AIneri-
cans themselves, Of which we can not
analyze the elements, but in which We
are inclined to put faith, that at some
time within the next three months a
point will be reached at which legality
will once more become clear IL the
perplexed mind of the nation. And,
however disappointing the result SO
attained may be to the hopes of either
party, there will be no resistance and
little i~nurmuring. A month after the
Inauguration of the new President,
rhomsoever be may lie, the currents
of American politics will probably
have returned TO their wonted chan
nels and the froth of the present ez-
element will have disappeared from
the surface of public affairs"
