FREE CUBA. from tht A. 1'. World. ' The Jlt rald attacks the Administration for lacking a definite policy ns to Cuba, the Sati for having ft bail policy. But if the ilisclo mireR reported to have Leon made by Attorney-General I'ierrppont and the averments ef'the 'J'ribum's Washington correspondent are true and wo know no reason for disbe lieving either then the administration has a definite poliey, and that policy is the best l)iih could have been devised. When the World, day after d.iy and week after week, exposed the impolitic proceedings of those friends of Cuban independence who were so short-sighted as not to perceive that the United States could never servo their cause niul help them with ISpuiu except by j reserving a spotless record of honest neu trality; w hen the World, day after day and week after week, followed up the administra tion with the facts of our violated neutrality and with the law upon our statute-book, which the l'resident took nn oath to execute, but did l'ot; when the W'id recalled to the attention of the administration the fact of our obligation, according to international law, to dealopc nly and honestly by a friendly rintion, though the act of IMS had never been passed; when the World, finding its counsels unheeded alike by the foolish friendsof Cuban independence and by the administration, urged upon the latter the issuance of such a proclamation of warning as there was prece dent for in the history of the administrations of the founders of the republic both before and after that act was passed - then, indeed, this 'idministration might have been justly charged with an indefinite or a bad poliey, or both. lut when the World disclosed its whole purpose, and proposed a solution nf the situa tion which seemed to have none consis tent with our own integrity, the honor of Spain, and the peace of the island; when, iu other words, the World proposed Free Cuba. Vr freedom purchased by herself, conceded unanimously by Spain, and the purchase anteed by the United States; and. after JUI. a veil tig that to be the only possible outcome as eminently desirable for its own tin renewed its pleadings with the vta not to frustrate all their sacred sake, ng. Cuban J ui hopes of 1. patriotic att'e 'berty for the island of their ?tion, and again reiterated its e administration that only by id honest enforcement of the warnings to tl, tt faithful, fair,ai neutrality law eon star to the western i ui we nope to aaa another "onttcllution of republics; stratum nt List put forth Government, and vin- and when the adiuini , f n.n "-e too i;ne, ns own dieted, ere it was .m fi fiu-ndly nation honor and its justice towa. f?aa. l,y preventing the Goioo, ust to charge the tion-then it was no longer j policy or a bad Government with an indefinite w judgment policy. Its policy becume. in t '' a beneti nt least, though long delayed, a j. cent, and a sagacious policy. estimate For, indeed, it is only a reasonable nave of the weight which the United St,aU vbe to ftciniired ainonc the nations of the git- 'rn mitmose that the scheme which this icu. has thus labored, in season and out of seasi, to press upon the Cuban Junta, upon ever,, other friend of Cuban independence, upon an administration politically opposed to us, and npon a country which, except along the At lantic seaboard, was difficult to impress with the facts in the case and the conditions of success, is, in truth, a scheme which only needed to be taken up by their Federal Gov ernment, intrusted to some secret and special envoy (not, of course, to a leprous Sickles at its broaching and birth), in order at once to satisfy the hearts' desire of Cuban patriots nor yet to wound the proudest pride of re generated Spain. For confirmation of our confidence and hope, we daily look and pray. That will bo a proud day for this republic when, neither by conquest nor intrigue, but by magnani mity on the one hand and by justice on tho other, the destiny of a new State is founded and established; and when, in the sight of all nations, the curtains tit conceal from our gaze the plans of cal .nets and the proceed ings of envovs roil away, ami ruo ui-iiuuin stretching forth a friendly hand to this fair young sister of the seas, and leads her to the starry heights of self-government and inde pendence. For when Spain consents to listen to tho mediation of tho United States, or commits to their fellowship and in their trust hence forth the self-sovereignty of that brightest gem till now retained in tho casket of the nation which to the Old World once gave all a New, it is not possible that interference from any hostile quarter would bo attempted by the monarchies ot one or tolerated by tho republics of the other. Not North Germany will say us nay she has her own States to consolidate and boundaries to guard. Not France her hands are busy apportioning the concessions to liberty extorted from a sovereign whose chief solicitude must be to perpetuate an imperilled dynasty. Not Great Britain half whose Ireland has crossed the Atlantic, and which, to appease a nation, ih lisKtabiishinL' a Church. Not any nor all of these conjoined, whatever their attempt might be, were an annexation on foot which neither Spain might concede nor Cuba now desire, will undertake to hinder Spain if sho shall follow but half-way in the steps which France took under the elder Napoleon when Louisiana, Spain herself when Florida, llus sia when Alaska, were added to our continen tal possessions, and which Denmark stands in with the Danish islands. Certainly, we do not underrate the difficul ties which must for months, or years perhaps, still hedie about a nlan so lame, a work so difficult and vet so beneficent, as this which a Vinvft disclnspfl and developed and pressed. But they are difficulties of detail. An idea is nnlv rmu-orfnl. said Emerson, when a man is Imhind it. Then, when a nation of thirty iiht millions of freemen is behind it, press ing it cm to its consummation in the fact of free Cuba, must it not be irresistible '( THE TENNESSEE CONTEST Mil. BOUT- WELL'S LETTElt. from the N. Y, Time. The wisdom of the course pursued by Sec retary Boutwell, in identifying himself with Stokes in the Tennessee contest, is more than doubtful. "Greatly interested" in the con test he may naturally be; and right he cer tainly is in "believing that the future politi cal character and general prosperity of the Btate depend largely upon the continuance of the republican party in power." But we are unable to appreciate the expediency or jus tice of interference in behalf of one section of the llepubjiean party and against another eectioS; 'tKMcUonSri'i ImiRn mnraniur thgf mliiiih is mOSt in -Tkv'vftth the General policy of the President nd with the des ajJ purges, of tliO PKiy It cannot be on the ground of political nn tecedenta and consistency that the Secretary declares himself in favor of Stokes. As be tween Stokes .and Senter there is in this respect nothing to .hooso. Hothwere hostile to tho authority of the Union at the outbreak of the war. Neither became loyal under cir cirstances which entitled him to any special credit. Ex-Governor Brownlow, who can be no more suspected of sympathy with Rebels than Mr. Boutwell, declares that, with twenty-five years' knowlego of both candidates, his preference is for Senter. "I have closely watched their political course," says tho old man, "and I give it as my candid opinion that Governor Senter's personal character is the better of the two; that his Political record is more consistent; and that, in point of ability and statesmanship, he is far superior." We do not accept this testimony as conclusive, but it forms a tolerably good set-oft' to the Secretary's partiality for Stokes. If a superior personal or political record cannot be claimed for Stokes, is he entitled to consideration becauso of greater regular ity in his nomination? Is he the regular t puhlican candidate, and Senter tho bolter? Certainly not. Tho convention called to nominate a candidate did not outlive the pre liminaries; a row ar se about the chairman ship, and the proceedings went no further. And inasmuch as no nominations were made, neither Stokes nor Senter can pretend to be the regular candid, to. Both are self-nominated. This fact, however, seems unques tionable of the delegates to the convention, a majority were frieuds of Senter; the dis turbance which terminated the convention having been gotten up by supporters of Stokes and in his interest. The consistency of the two candidates being equal, judging of them in relation to the Union in the early stages of the war, and the irregularity of their candidacy being the same, in what direction shall we look for the justification of Mr. Boutwell's inter ference? The proper test, next to tho regu larity of a party nomination, is the platform on which the contest is conducted. Tried by this standard, we have no hesitation in say ing that the platform occupied by Senter is more in accord with that of the administra tion and of the republican party than that of his opponent. The canvass, so far, has been marked more by an interchange of of fensive personalities than the discussion of principles. But an important principle, never theless, separates the candidates. Senter and his friends, Brownlow included, favor the ear liest possible enfranchisement of those on whom the local law has heaped disabilities. They proclaim that proscription was a neces sity of the time at which it was resorted to, but that the necessity has passed, and that its continuance serves only to keep alive angry feeling and foster difficulties in the State. The Stokes party, ou the other hand, under the plea of preserving partisan ascendancy, would proloiigj disfranchisement, with all its irritation and injustice. On the leading issue of the canvass, then, Senter is. and Stokes is not, in harmony with the present policy of tho Bepublieau party. That policy in regard to proscription is hap pily unmistakable. The Chicago Convention which nominated Grant placed him on a plat form of which the removal of disabilities was a conspicuous feature; and successive State conventions have reaffirmed the samo pur pose. The latest instance is that of the Cali fornia republicans, who resolved "That tho ratification of the fifteenth amendment should be followed by an act of universal amnesty nd the enfranchisement of tho Southern "epic." The republicans of Mississippi, pv dical'' and "conservative," are agreed upon "ra point; which commands tho almost uu this '1 approval of tho republican press divide out the country. By identifying him through. Proscription, Stokes runs counter to self with , feeling in other States, and so republican Senter tho vantage ground, concedes to k to tho fifteenth amendment, With regan. euee between tho candidates, there is no diffe. id himself its advocate in Senter has avow -vting that its adoption by decided terms, asst sluture is "dictated by the Tennessee Legi and wise statesman justice, sound poliey, therefore, he is uuob ship." In this respect, jectionable. en, seems to us a Mr. Boutwell's letter, th all tho more mistake a mistake that i siioctions upon serious because involving r aVi supporters the patriotism of the ltepublu aVo built up of Senter, the leaders of whom i q 0I11 stood the republican party in Tennesse lculating by it when Stokes was selfishly c vt for tho the chances. It is not prudent or ju. ro be Secretary of tho Treasury to interfv G ftc. tween neputmcans, ami least ui ' ions company interference with imputai upon those of them who have espoused cause of Senter. There is no valid rcaso. for identifying tho administration with the triumph of one candidate or tho other. Bo.tQ , beinf republicans, with a largo llepubliear , following, tho interest of tho administration and of the party will bo best promoted by tho maintenance of a neutral attitudo at Wash ington. There may bo little apparent impro priety in an expression of preference for Stokes; but is it desirable to make enemies of the Senter Republicans, who will iu all pro bability carry tho State '( 1 , T DISESTABLISHMENT ENDOWED. From the N. Y. Tribune. The Church bill has become a law, and Par liament is to adjourn tii tho 10th ot August. We are left to reflect, tlien, respecting uio one great and tedious labor of tho Uritisli Legislature, that now, as ever, it ha with most elaborate ingenuity contrived a nun measure instead of a whole one. A century of agitation has won at last tho principle of disestablishment, not through a sentiment of strict justice, exactly, but partly from a me nacing necessity, and in part becauso the Establishment had amassed enough plunder by endowment to bribe itself respectably out of existence. Tho English Establishment was paid so handsomely tor dying that it is a question if it be dead at all, and whether so , much reward is not a kind of resurrection. However this may bo, an army of pensioned curates, with their bishops and glebes, still live. Tho debate on the bill will constitute an important but prolix chapter in British his tory. The peers will not suffer by compari son with their predecessors as to tho capacity of concatenating sophisms and learned preju dices, and of uttering to the vexed ears ot Englishmen linked tedium long drawn out. It will lie said that few of tho .Lords wore bright enough and wise enough to rank with the laurelled Senators ofa generation bygone; but llussell's tact, Salisbury's weight, Cairns' hard persistency, Derby's tiro, and Granville H crowning address and gTace, will oe remem bered. Had the lay peers done nothing at all but darken counsel, it would Still have to bo said that the Lords Bishops have vindicated the reputation of the House for talent, for obstinacy, i6r worldliness, and well-educated wfongheadedness. The amendments of liia handsome and reverend grace of Canterbury were shrewd, and, the speeches ! of J3i6fcor.fi TlinrtOl ana been seldom surpassed in rhetoric and force. For further particulars of the Lords, we must beg reference to the record of their retrogres sions during forty years. What they lately did against disostublmhinent they did against Catholic and Jewish emancipation, against the abolition of tho corn laws, against reform and against education. But tho Lords have ren dered at least one provision of justice, in the late bill, by undoing their amendment that the Bishops of the Irish Church should con tinue to sit among tho Ixrds, and so have spared a Catholic country tho shame and wrong of being represented by such men as Archbishop Trench, whilo Cardinal Cullen has so much better right to aplaco among the peers. The passage of tho Church bill was in no sense an act of grace on the part of the Lords, but a concession extorted out of their fears. They would have kept the Bishops iu their seats, and have absorbed the entire property and pnrso of the establishment. By annuities they asked for the Church an excess of X'L'.L'(i(),(K!0, though liberally endowed iu this way already; by parsonages, Xl.liVlOO; by tho Ulster glebes and private endowments, several millions. The English Premier reckoned tho total proceeds of Church property at l'l(!,oon, :((; the amount of eompensatson allowed by the bill at t's.ti.-.n.eno, and tho surplus at .7,.'!.".n,(.on. The Lords, by amendments iu favor of extra compensation, reduced the sur plus to three millions. The seven hundred thousand Episcopalians in Ireland would have taken seven millions of the Churoh property, while four millions and a half of Catholics and half a million Presbyterians would have received together about a mil lion. Although we are not refreshed with the full details of the bill as it passed in its hist amendment, we suspect that tho ratio of distribution remains almost tho sumo us we have indicated. Though instead of the great Ulster grant, sequestrated from the Irish by King James, ami tho private endow ments dating back to i;.i;o, the Church was to receive a sum of t'.itO,0(i cash, tho dises tablishment was still mightily endowed. Mr. Gladstone was willing to give it (ylO,oiiO,(HH); it was anxious to take, and probably would get, !.-.. Kio. (loo. What the four million and a half of Catholics get out of this large sum mainly appropriated to one-seventh of their number, is not worth mentioning. There was even a disposition in the hungry bench of bishops to devour a surplus intended for "tVie advantage of the Irish people," and for the "relief of calamity and suffering." T he bill as passed has not yet conic to hand, yet wo arc safe to say that" it has no right claim to be considered a just or a generous, or even au entirely expedient measure. It is a great good thing that disestablishment is, iu any way, an accomplished fact; but we do not see that the peers of to-day wore more liberal than George III, who was willing to pay the Catholic clergy, or than Pitt, who would 'have established both Churches after a fashion and finally wo have to lament that seldom have Lords temporal and spiritual carried on a crusade in favor of the Church in a loss Christian spirit. Tho lion of the Church has quitted tho scene with anything but lamb-like satisfaction and compensation, and justice has been done in a truly lion-like way. The establishment has fallen, but tho house of the endowment is still a high structure. 1MP0HTATT0N OF COOLIE -5. From the y. V. Ih raltU The letter of tho Secretary of the Treasury to the Collector of the Customs at New Or leans, relative to the importation of coolies into this country, declares that the act of February, 1,s(!l', prohibiting American oil iens from engaging in the coolie trade has not been abrogated. It also refers to a resolution which was unanimously passed on the Hitli of January, 1W17, by both houses of Congress, expressing the abhorrence of tho people of the United States for the coolie trade, and to the additional article (fifth) of the 1 treaty between the United States and the Chinese empire, concluded on tho L'Sth of lost July and now awaiting the action of tho Emperor. This article reprobates any other than voluntary emigration, and agrees to make it a penal offense to take Chinese subjects from China without their free and voluntary consent. A circular from tho Department of State, addressed to tho Ministers and Consuls of the United States, on tho 17th January, 1S(!7, directs that tho Consul at every port where coolies may em bark be required to certify, after full exami nation, that such embarkation is not forced or procured by fraud, and that such Ministers and Consuls shall use all their authority and influence towards preventing and discouraging the carrying on of tho traffic referred to in any way. The Collector at New Orleans is, therefore, authorized and directed to uso all vigilance in suppressing what tho Secretary c,lls "this new modification of the slave tde." 1; js niaiinesr mat me secretary ot the -try overlooks or ignores tho fact that reas. tuitory law to which he alludes makes mly of persons and vessels trans thfc pro mention pose coolies from a Chinese iiort A .
