the new Senator from Maryland on the ground that Maryland has not ‘‘a republican form of government” becauge she does not permit nig- gers to vote, Under the same ruling New York might also be excluded from the United States Senate. Even Massachusetts herself had nota republican form of government at ‘the time of the adoption of the constitution, if her Senator's view of such a government isa correct one. Indeed, only six States of the whole-Union would be entitled to representa- tion on Sumner’s theory. Senators from those States would, therefore, make laws for the whole Union, and yet the Senator pretends to urge his folly in behalf of government “by the whole people.” When the illustrious enthusi- ast whose “‘ progress” has been written down by Bunyan first discovered what a badly man- aged world this was, and bothered people with his talk on the subject, his sensible relations perceived what was the matter and immedi- ately put him to bed. Somebody should do as much for Sumner. The Fine Arts in Chicago. The Chicago Times of the 7th instant devoted eight closely printed columns to a glowing account of the ‘‘first grand reception of the Chicago Academy of Design” on the previous evening. Despite the inclemency of the weather ‘“‘the wealth, beauty and fashion” of the New York of the Northwest assembled to witness ‘‘the largest collection of works of art” ever exhibited in that region. Tableaur vivants, music and elegant toilets enhanced the interest of the exhibition; and the reign of the fine arts in Chicago was inaugurated on a scale of magnitude and splendor very charac- teristic of the grandiose ideas, and, we must in justice add, very encouraging to the sanguine hopes of the Northwestern people. Their empire city has grown from the twelve or fif- teen houses around Fort Dearborn and less than o hundred inhabitants in 1330 to ‘‘a very big village” in 1868, The richest city in the West, connectod by lake and railroad with Blmost every other commercial city of the Union, its advantages for business are immense, and it is the second lumber market and the first primary grain market in the world. The rapidity and extent of its material growth have been marvellous; and if its art development shall prove correspondingly mar- vellous Chicago may yet surpass even its own ambitious expectations. Already it boasis of an Art Journal which is, in some respects, superior to any other published in the United States. If Chicago will take advantage of the novel enthusiasm for art in which its citi- zens are just now indulging, and begin at once the long-delayed improvements of its Lake Shore Park, we shall have additional reasons to hope that it may yet become an art centre for the great Northwest. BALL -OF THE SEVENTY-FIRST REGIMENT. ‘The grand promenade and. reception of the Sev- enty-firsi regiment, National Guard, which has been for some time past the cause of no small amount of delightful excitement among the fair sex and of “great expectations’ on the part of the members of the regiment itself, came off with great éciat last evening at Pike’s Opera House. At as early an hour as half-past seven P. M. Twenty-third street nd that part of Eighth avenue immediately adjoining the “Opera House were thronged with an array of coaches and private carriages that put the policemen on duty In the vicinity to pre- serve order and regularity on the arrivai of the vehicles ina state of bewildering excitement quite unusnaleven to them. By eight o'clock the interior of the Onera House presented a most brilliant coup @ail from the upper tier. Every Dox and seat was bright and beautifui with hundreds of fair occu- pants, while the floor, arranged above the parquet seats for the occasion, was crowded even to uncom- fortable excess with an assemblage of uniformed men and gorgeously dressed fair ladies, who made ‘up, a8 they moved along in the promenade or danced ayly to the sweet melodies of the orchestra and sh |, a scene long to be remembered by the beholder. * “That the reception called out one of the most brilliant gatherings cithe fashion and beauty that have sraced ‘@ ball room during the season no one who was pre- sent could for a moment doubt. The ladies were al! br least in somebody's estimation) beautiful as beau- ful could be; the dresses worn on the occasion were costly and magnificent, and the general display was such as to half bewiider even the participants In the reception. The members of the regiment, who were, of course, the lions of the evening, appeared for the first time in their new full dress uniform, consisting of light sky blue pantaioons and dark Dlue coat of the same cut and shape as the full dress coat worn by the members of the Seventh regiment. Several members of the Seventh were also present in full uniform dress, as Well as members of the Fifth, Ninth, Seventy-ninth, Eighth, Twelfth, Twenty-sec- ond and Eigiity-stxth regiments. Generals Aspin- ‘wall and Varian were present in uniform. The dancing was kept up until the “wee hours of the morn” grew on apace, when the gay assemblage ‘broke up in good humor with themselves tn particu- Jar and al! mankind in general. Captains William. son and Brackett, with their officers, were on hand during the night, and did good service as usuai, SUVENILES’ PURIM BALL. Throughout the year there is no festival tn the Jewish calendar so anxiously looked for by Jewish children as the feast of the Purim, and iast night ‘this festival was celebrated at Murzinger’s Hall, in ‘West Thirty-second street. Many a merry little heart muttered in eager expectation of the approsch of this annual feast. At an early hour yesterday even- ing the little ones began to drop in one by one, some accompanied by their parents, who desired to par- ticipate in the pleasure afforded their children, others in charge of an elder brother or sister, who felt the inspiration of merriment which seemed to infiuence each juveuile as, arrayed in their fun- tastic costumes and masks, they earnestly courted the enjoyment of the passing hours, And they had their processions, too, cat ge i. oe of the night ry tes and, as a expected, poor ry) ¥ ennedy was deemed mortby Of a place in the ranks, of which General 1 assumed sole command.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. ENGLAND. The Alabama Claims Debate, Lonpon, March 10, 1988. The following is a continuation of Mr. Shaw Lefevre’s remarks on the Alabama question in the British House of Commons, from the point at which the cable report broke off yesterday morning:— Mr. Shaw Lefevre, continuing, sald:—The President considers these terms to be at once comprehensible and suficiently precise to include all the claims of American citizens for depredations upon their com- merce during the late rebellion, which have been the subject of complaint on the part of this government; but the United States government in this view would deem itself at Itberty to insist before the arbiter that the actual proceedings and regulations of the British government, its ofMcers and agents towards the United States, in regard to the rebellion and the rebels, as they occurred during that rebellion, are among the matters which are connected with the vessels whose depredations are complained of. The President will be gratified if this explanation shajl couduce to remove any of the difficulties which have heretofore prevented the two governments from coming to the amicable and friendly understanding and arrangement which are so sincerely desired by both. The noble lord replied to that despatch on the 16th of November. He said, writing to Mr, Ford:—The language of Mr. Seward appears to be open to the construction that it is the desire of the United States government that any tribunal to be agreed upon might enter into the question whether the actual pol- icy of Her Majesty’s government in recognizing the Confederate States as a belligerent power was or was not suitable to the cireum- Stances of the time when the recognition was made. Her Majesty’s government cannot directly or indi- rectly depart from their refusal to refer to a foreign Power whether the policy of recognizing the Con- federate States as a belligercnt Power was or was not suitable to the circwmstances of the time when the negotiation was made. Mr. Seward declined the reference subject to “this restriction. No one who leaked carefully at the last few letters could fail toeperceive that Mr. Seward had madg a considerable changd ih his position. At the commencement of that correspondence Mr. Seward’s sole ground of complaint was our having recognized the Confederates as belli- gerents, whereas at the close he assented to the terms proposed by, the noble lord. It appeared to him that there were three stages in this corre- spondence. In the first stage Mr. Seward put the whole question upon the recognition of bellige- rency, all other questions being treated as incidental and unimportant; in the second he offered to ref the whole correspondence, as it then stood, to ar’ tration, and in the third he accepted the proposition put by the noble lord—namely, whether they were morally responsible for the damages occasioned by the Alabama—and stated that that proposition was sufficient for his purpose. The difference between the first and last of these stages was very great, and it was to be regretted that the nobie lord had not left the matter there, but had thought it to be his duty to make a special exception of the recognition question, which induced Mr, Seward to withdraw from the ne- gotiation altogether. It was one thing, to refer the | question itself to an arbitrator and another specially to accept from the arbitration. And another subject Which might wel! be introduced as an incidental topic bearing upon the main question at issue, was, if the special recognition were not made it would He open to the 6ther side to introduce the subject as an argument, but at the same time it would lie open to us to object to its introduction as being irrelevant, in view of the nature of the whole question between the two countries. He could not but regard it as a mistake on the part of the noble Lord to require the total withdrawal of Mr. Seward and the American people from what was a bad and false position. ‘The noble lord might have been satisfied with the concession that had been already made in the course of the correspondence, and tt was a mistake to break in upon Mr. Seward with a special exception which he must have known would lead to the failure of the whole negotiation. Looking at the whole tone of the correspondence, It was impossible not to think that it was the intention of the noble lord to bring the question to a point in which it was possible that arbitration was the intention on both sides, and that at the last moment, becoming frightened at the position at which he had arrived, he mage the special exception in question. The noble lord had stated the question for ar- vitration to be whether we were morally responsible for the damages caused by the Alabama. But what was the meaning of the word “morally” It certainly required some explanation. Was the arbitrator to be at liberty to go beyond the ordinary strict rules and usages of international law, and to extend the inquiry into the more vague regions of moral responsibility? If so, on what grounds were we specially to except from arbitration a branch of the subject which the Ameri- can people thought bore strongly upon the morality of the question? If the morality of the whole question was to come under consideration he was not sure that it might not be for our adyan- tage that the inquiry should be extended rather than limited, for he believed that the wider the view taken of the matter the more would the morality of our position become apparent, He did pot wish ‘9 @x- press any opinion upon the main question tn dis. pute. He had ventured during the last few years to differ from the opinion expressed by some learned authorities as to what were our in- ternational duties, but he did not desire at the pre- sept moment to enter into that question. Two classes of objections had been raised to arbitration upon this subject. It was objected, in the first place, that the question of recognition of belligerency was certain that it was not right to refer it, but that it onght to be especially excepted from arbitration; and, sec- ondly, that the dignity of this country would not permit that question to be raised before an arbitra- tion. For his own part he was perfectly satistied of the strength of our position in this question; that he could not conceive an arbitration deciding against us. He believed that war did actually exist at the time of our proclamation of neutrality, and if we re- quired proof of the soundness of our position it was to be found in Mr. Seward’s despatches and in the Teciptons of the American law courts in the nme ow LED pe 2 a ee mye rous ¢hées of Vessels captured While breaking thé blockade or seized upon the high seas as being the property of citizens of the Confederate States, in which cases the Supreme Court held that the procla- mation of blockade was a proclamation of war, and that the North were only exercising belligerent rights, But however certain we might be as to the justice of our conduct, the American people looked at the matter in a different light, and under these circumstances tt would have tended to remove a cause of irritation between the two countries, and we consented to the question of re- cognition belng referred to arbitration. As to the question of dignity, the American government did not desire that the proclamation of neutralt\ » should be made a question before the arbitrator, bat merely that it be introduced as atopic for discussion, and he could not understand how the dignity of this country could be compromised by this qeustior more than merits of the more importani subject being brought before the arbitrator, He did not advance these views in consequence of an ex! rated feeling of alarm either for the pres- ent or for the future, He did not believe these claims would result r, although, no doubt, if not d. ‘osed of they Wien Srouid render It dificult to settle other matters of difference which might arise in the future between the two countrivs, He was aware there were persons who said that Mr, Seward had raised this dim- culty merely for the purpose of deferring a set- tleuient of the matter, and that the Americans would be only too giad to find us at war, in order that they might prey upon our commerce by means of vessels like the Alabama, He did not share tn that opinion. 1¢ was certainly true that ina moment of irritation the lower Louse of Congress lad passed a bil to bring the American Enlistment act into accord with their views of the I interpretation which shorld be put upon ours ; but the better sense of the country « to the ee appealed to the honorable of their coun’ 4 as regards neutrality tows inland, and tt point our act Was in fourteen dilferen than theirs; \& showed that, although they it items more strict | com: | arrived here to-day, ‘ial Ead'tn ‘Others Soeained ue enuck ty MY in others obtained the detention midable vessels which have a Evra Se ag Benet ae Voring to fulfil its obligations in the “even on en ourselves at ; but then unless the gov- ernment was supported by an alinost overwhelmin Public bape ted sense of duty among its mer chants—its etforts would be of little avail, and less there even thawehere. We feel these disiculties and they would feel them still more. ‘The - action of their citizens against Spain and Portu- gal showed to what extent they might be led, ‘and then it would be that history would repeat itself in a vicious circle, which public laws onght to pre- vent. Then, again, should we be perfectly satistted if the same strict line of interpretation was followed to us—namely, the instance of direct and positive evidence connecting the building of war vessels with the belligerent power, even ia.cases where the sur- rounding circumstances were the most sus- picious and where no information was given as «© the real destination of the vessel—a resolution which, in fact, was the real cause of the Alabama going out, but which in the case of the rans was not insisted upon, although he regretted to say it was again foliowed by the present government in the case of the Cyclone and Tornedo? At this very Moment a commission was sitting fo report whether any changes ougit to be made for the pur- ~~ of givin increased efilciency to our laws and bringing them into ull conformity with our international obilgaiions. Suppose tuat commission reported that it was desirable to alter our laws in conformity with our international obli- gations, and to give greater force to them, how should we then stand? Should we find that other countries would take their line of conduct in the future from ovr new finding? Or wld they not rather take it from our action when neutrats? International law was'made up mostly of precedence and usage, and he feared there would be no later precedents than those of the Alabaiaa aud tue Tor- nado, Kither we had done right or wrong; either we had fultilied all our internationai obligations or we had not, and it was in the interest of the world at large that this question should be determined; be- cause, if it were right, then, by common consent of na- tions, some change should be made so as to prevent for the future such scandalous cases as these which » had to advert to, If wrong, then a precedent yould be reserved which, as it stood, threatened to create trouble and dispute an: ili-fecting between other nations as it had betw yes aud the " States. That there was a higher object in view even than that— that we should set a reat exampie to other ions by doing that which, by our invitation. was resolved upon at the Con? to titute a ‘on for that i night det e which was lnleh Was right; above all that we ‘opt that rule with rezard to a which we had so much in common of t language and government, and with we had not one real interest that was antago.
