Readers of Tur Sux going to the country can receive ther favorite paper by matt, daily, at Fifty ents a month. by ciddreulng anote, with thelr sud. toription, to our Publisher. a Cuba and the Alabama Business. The false position assumed by the Ad- ministration on Cuban affairs arises doubt- Jess in large measure from the fear of being charged with inconsistency concerning the ground they occupy on the Alabama ques- tion, This latter subject has been so miser- ably mismanaged that our people are getting rather tired of it. It long since became stale and flat, and it stands a good chance to turn out to be unprofitable. We have often pointed out the wide differ. ence between the attitude which the United States onght now to hold in respect to Cuba and Spain, and that occupled by Great Britain toward this country during the re Dbellion, Our present purpose is to inquire whether the interest which this Government has in the payment of the Alabama claims is sufficient to warrant it in sacrificing na tional honor at the footstool of a crumbling despotiem, in fostering a nest of slave traders inthe Caribbean Sea, in crushing the as Pirations of a people struggling for freedom and independence, and in pouring contempt upon the traditional doctrines of the Re- public as enunciated by President Monnon, All that any sensible man expects will be got out of the Alabama demand is a certain amount of money, Now, however large the sum may be which Great Britain will ulti mately pay in liquidation of these claiins, not a farthing of it will go into the Federal ‘Treasury, nor into the treasury of any State in the Union, Primarily it will belong to the owners of veercl4, and of the cargoes found on board, which were captured or de stroyed by the Alabama and other cruisers of that clase; and indirectly to certain in- gurance companies, in this and other coun tries, which took war risk upon those vessels and cargoes. But, as in the case of the old French spo- Jiation claims, long before any treaty will be ratified under which the Alabama claims are to be paid by Great Britain, they will have been assigned to third parties for com. paratively trifling amounts—to ex-mem) of Congress, to lobbyists, to. an whysters of high and ' — some of them h- “y ‘ t n hands 1 fat irom this n point~-and that in Uh y practical 1 fron: whiel te view he matter our Govern. th to pmuy® snaterest in this anngud and disgracefully pro- ‘ taut, When contemplated, then, in this light, is ft worth while for this nation to tarnish its prestige, cover its mame with disgrace, re- verse its ancient policy in respect to the Monroe doctrine, and turn catch-poll for one of the decrepit despotisme of Europe, lest during the Alabama discussions Lord CLai ENvON should make it necessary for Secre tary Fist to point out to him the world wide difference between the intervention of the United States in behalf of froedom in th island of Cuba, whose people do not propose to disturb the home Government of Spain, but simply desire to rule themselves, and the intervention of Great Britain in behalf of an armed league of slaveholders in this country who owed allegiance to our flag, and who had fomented a rebellion to break in pive the American Republic? oe The Chief Justice of the United Sta Reviews the last Hundred Yea The centenary anniversary of Dartmouth College afforded an opportunity of referring to the changes effected inthe history of the world since 1769, which a comprehensive student of history and human nature like Mr. Cuaseé was well qualified to illustrate. Indeed the Chief Justice acquitted himself of ithe task that devolved upon him as the Presi dent of the Dartmouth Alumni with con- siderable ability, which was not in the least {mpaired by the fact that he rather ex patiated upon the growth of empire of foreign countrics then upon the progress of ideas and of humanity, and upon the part on i country what it is. In regard to England, Mr. Ciace says that she lost one empire, namely, the North American Colonies, and gained two, namely, Indin and Austratia; but, asin another part of his address he points to Rw from vin ns Doing ready to clutch Hindostan English greep, and the Austra. ns are more or leas dianffected and bent on ndependenes, the Chief Justice's assertion ag tothe dominion of England ¢ ithe ia not altogether supported by the facts of the o—these on the eo » both in ia th trary show Asin reatened 1 decline of her prest uo America, white at home she the here tors and hy the chronic Feninnism of Ireland, After travelling ne by a revolution a ‘oas the English Channel, the Chief Just HF 8 in the murderer 4 the republican Government of France, and the would-be murderer of ropu blies on this side of the water, “a wise and ekilfal ruler,” who endeavors to combine “personal su- premacy ” with democratic ideas, In other words, the Chief Justice of the United States holds up to the admiration of the world, an adventurer who waa guilty of perjury, vio- lence, and fraud, but who advanced his own fortuncs—what Mr. Chase calla “ personal supremacy "—by packing the votes of the poople and bamboorling them into the belief that this wholesale fraud was universal suf frag ; and thix combination of personal ras. cality and universal demoralization is what the Chief Justice describes asa gentle blond. ing: of “ porsonel supremacy with democratic ideas.” On the whole, the Chief Justice seems rather inelined to mensure the progress of events during the last century by the tallness of their size than by their moral meaning. This tendency, possibly encouraged by the presence of the Hon, Long Joun Wrent- wourn, of Hinois, was further displayed in the personal allusion of the Chief Justice to the distinguished predecessor of Gen, LOGAN, Tn this allusion we mise the homage duc to the remarkable qualities of Mr. Wrnt- wortn’s heart and mind, and we find it too xelusively consecrated to the merely physi cal axpect of the honorable ex-member at large for Illinois, From a thevlogt- cal point of view, this may be perhaps justified upon Mr. Krxosiny's theory of muscular Christianity; but in other respects the Chief Justice's remarks are open to critt cism, upon the ground of their being defi cient in the epiritaal element and extolling “personal supremacy” ot the one-man power. soit AB Rupture Between Turkey and Exypt. The Saltan having insulted the Pasha of Egypt by declining to see him, the rupture between the two Mohammedan rulers has become complete, “When despots fall ont, the people come to their dues,” But it re- mains to be soon to what extent the op- preesed working classes of Egypt and Turkey will benefit by this conflict between their rulers, The probability is that the quarrel will be patched up in some way or other, and that the masses of the poor fellahs and Turks will continue to be bled, as before, for the benefit of their sovereigns, Even in the case of the establishment of a powerful in- dependent Egyptian monarchy, and of the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, the progress of civilization and humanity cannot be expected to be rapid in countries subject to the Mohammedan religion and to the Mormon institutions of polygamy @ discov ——— Indians. Mr. Giueeiey discusses the Indian que tion in the Zridune with Nis usual strong good sense. In many reapects his advice ought to be followed ; but there is one point of capital importance which he omits, If we are ever to civilize the Indians, it must be by treating them In accordance wi tho principles of human nature, them on lands be ql ‘To settle nyinge to tho tribe is not enough, We have tried that for half a cen tury with poor sueceess, It is n go further, and to give the * rv an family a posit!

Not with the spirit of the law, which leaves a large margin for the benetit of freedom and humanity, but the letter of the law, the rigid adherence to which may enable Lord Ctanexpon to torment American citizens, and Marahal Sereano to shoot down the Cubans in connivance with President Guant. Particularly among the partisans of British and Spanish misrule, men like Judge Hoan are culled “ sound’? lawyers, that is to say, they are ” on the side of the strong arm of oppression, From the moment they were to bee “ sound’? lawyers on the side of the op- pressed they would be at once stigmatized a unsound advisers by Marshal Sernano, Gen, Gant, and Gen, Prot, and the other military despots of the age. —— Mr. Disearnt tries hard to soothe the self. love of the Lords by declaring in the Commons that the compromise on the Lrish Church bill should not be regarded as an unconditional sur. render, Tt is, nevertheless, regarded as auch by the English people, and the magnanimous man. ner in which Mr. Gtavstoxe deals with the stub- bornness of the Upper House has inflicted wounds upen the pride of the Lords, which not even Mr. Distauti's oracular sentences can as- suage. — There is no department of the Federal Government in this city which is known to be nore corrupt than the Custom House, There is scarcely a division in the building which does not need investigation, Tho Drawback, the En- try, the Liquidating bureaux are not conspicuous for the integrity of their administrations; nor can they be, for the venerable Collcetor’s valuable CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENTS IN THE OLD WORLD, —_— The French Co-operative Farm and Sectete de Beauregard Correspondence of The sun.

These, through the complicity of merchants, rob the Government, it is said, in a novel way, ‘Tho law provides three ways for the disposition of imported goods, The first is to dehver them to the merchants when the duty has been paid; the second is to bond them when the duty has not beea paid; and the third is to remove all goods not claimed to ta general orders store.” Many of the Inspectors find it exceedingly profit. able to evade the latter regulation and permit the unclaimed goods to lie in mountainous piles on the wharves after they have been taken from the vessels. ‘They subsequently learn the names of tho owners, and cause them to be informed of the fact, and the latter, afler having had a vn understanding with the corrupt officials, ure permitted either to remoye the merchandise or to substitute inferior goods in cases of similar size.
