Neb, AT THE COU11T OP ST. JAMES J. C. Hemphill, In the New York Times: Since tho establishment of tho United States government, there havo been thirty ministers and am bassadors from this country to the court of St James, not counting the charges d'affaires who represented this government for brief periods. Tho ministers to Great Britain have been: Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina; Rufus King, Martin Van Buren, Goorge Bancroft, Edwards Pierrepont, Joseph II. Choate, and Whitelaw Iteid of New York; James Madison, James Barbour and Andrew Stevenson of Virginia; William Pink ney, Louis McLano and Revordy Johnson of Maryland; John Quincy Adams, Abbott Lawrence, Edward Everett. Charles Francis Adams. John Lothrop Motley and James Russell Lowell of Massachusetts; Richard Rush, Albert Gallatin, Jos per R. Ingersoll, James Buchanan, Georgo M. Dallas and John Welsh of Pennsylvania; Robert C. Schenck and John Hay of Ohio; Edward J. Phelps of Vermont, Robert T. Lin coln of Illinois, and Thomas F. Bay ard of Delaware. Six of the ministers to Great Britain were appointed from New York, six from Massachusetts, six from Pennsylvania and seven: from tho southern states, so that it will bo seen that thero has been a rather fair geographical distribution in the selection of tho men for this high place. As for the men them selves, they havo represented gener ally the flower of tho country and wero chosen for this mission because of their high -personal character, their familiarity with public affairs and their fitness for tho delicate work of diplomacy. There was gen erally smooth sailing for them: but in a number of cases there was much , need for tho exercise of good coilr-J ago and sound judgment in dealing with tho relations of tho United States with the mother country. Tho recent death of Mr. Reid has brouirht out in strong relief the splendid ser vices he performed in his long life at London, and the finest feather in tho cap of Mr. Choate is tho honor able record he made for himself and bis country at tho court of St. James. Flvo of our ministers to Great Britain stand out liko mountain peaks in our diplomatic history. These were Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, who was appointed minister to Great Britain by Mr. Lin coln in 1861, a time of great stress with tho government at Washington on account of tho war between the states, and who had to deal with the capture at sea of Mason and Slidell, tho confederate commissioners, the effort of Napoleon to secure Eng land's consent to tho acknowledge ment of the independence of the con federate states, the sailing of con federate cruisers from British ports and other issues of vast importance iu uie unueu states. It is said of him in tho Encyclopaedia Britannica: Ho pursued his ends with dogged determination and little or no at tempt at concealment, while his de meanor was often haughty and often defiant. His career in England from 1861 to 1868 must be cited among tho foremost triumphs or American diplomacy." Another of tho great men who havo represented tho United States In London was Reverdy Johnson of Maryland, who succeeded Mr. Adama by appointment of President John- 8S' Jn WiaS hS Wh0 neS0tiated the Johnson-Clarendon treaty providing or the settlement of all claims grow? tag out of the international contro versies resulting from our S American war. The treaty was rZ jected by tho United States senaS bopajiBQ pf party Jealousy, but it cSn h?J a Ferfoct WWW in. of ail SE tights of our government nn ? better terms have ever Teeh nh??i, U? from Great Britain in tLb ment of our differenced i "Mr. Johnson's popularity amone Englishmen was proverbial, and hia recall by President Grant in 1869 and the nomination of his republican successor became a party necessity " James Russell Lowell of Massachu setts, scholar, author, editor, lawyer and diplomat, will ever hold high rank among the representatives that havo been sent from the United States to Great Britain. "As a man of letters ho was already well known in England, and he was in much de mand as an orator on public occas ions, especially of a literary nature but he also proved himself a sa gacious publicist and made himself a wise interpreter of each country to the other."
