Mr. Dawes' reply to General lintler, not to Rpeak of Mr. Farnsworth's, hh well as the fre inoiioy with which the Republican party in both HoUHe and Hcnate has of lata split its Toto ou several important questions, ought, we think, to suggest to the more ardent members of the party, and everybody who believes, as we do, in its usefulness, the pro priety of abstaining from attempts "to read Eeople out" of it. Formal excommunications avo never been of any great service to either Church or party. They were not of umoh ase to the Republican party even in the days of exoitement after the close of the war, and Ihey are likely to be still less serviceable just now, when the bonds of disoipline are relaxed, and the questions which have for ome twenty years held it together are nearly settled. The Cincinnati Commercial asked the other day, apropos of the conflict in the Senate between Messis. Trumbull and Sum ner, whether this discussion did not reveal the existence of a division in the party ranks which would henceforward be found irreme diable. The Evening roit treated the inci dent as one of the indications visible in Tarious parts of the country that the regular party engineers are losing the control of the machine; and there is no doubt that a feel ing more or less deep seated prevails that the work of the Republican party, properly so called, ends with the adoption of the fif teenth amendment. Now, it is quite true that the special cause which called the party into existence will have ceased to operate as soon as that amendment is passed, but then the general reasons for its existence will be neai 'y as strong as ever. The work of the Republican party will never 2e over nntil the Democrats have frankly announced their acceptance of the legislation of the last ten years. This the Democrats bare not done, and show no sign of doing. A day never passes in which they do not in some quarter or other proclaim their inten tion of treating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution as void, because imposed on some of the States by force, or else announce their wish to do something to the public debt by way of repudiation. Sometimes they are for taxing the bonds, sometimes for paving the debt in greenbacks, but always for treating the pub lic creditor as in some sense the publio enemy, and depriving him of a portion at least of what he believes to be his due. In short, whatever they may do in the future, they have thus far shown no sign of having any affirmative policy of any kind. Their mission they proclaim to bo the undoing, at the earliest possible moment, of all that the Republican party hits done. They had a chance of taking some kind of middle ground, that is, letting bygones be bygones, but adopting a different line of policy hi the future by nominating Mr. Chase in 1808, but they deliberately refused, and chose a pair of "irreconcilables" to head their ticket. Since then they have given in dication of having repented or changed their minds. Several tolerably good articles in the wny of a policy such as free trade have presented themselves, but they have been all rejected. Nothing will do them but the up setting, in some way or other, of the system of society and government established by the reconstruction process at the South, and the restoration to the whites of their old supre macy, and with it, of course, the means of working their own sweet will with regard to the blacks. There con, of course, be no doubt that it is this which keeps, and is likely to keep, the Republican party in existence. The mass of those who have served- long in its ranks for the purpose of achieving certain results, will not leave it as long as these results are endangered, and as long as the opposition offers nothing new, or original, or construc tive for their acceptance. Rut then it must not be forgotten by those who have, or think they have, it in charge, that the excitement which oalled the Republican party into exist ence, and enabled it to achieve its victories, is rapidly dying out, and that the excitement gone, the number of stragglers and deserters will naturally be greatly iucroased. A greater or less number of its members are growing lukewarm; others are losing or have lost their interest in politics altogether; others nave their attention diverted by State affairs, or purely financial affairs, and it must be re membered that the Republican majority has not in any State, except in one or two of the critical years of the war, been sufficiently large to bear reduction. Just now the party barely holds its own in several States. It has lost the control of this, and with what mis chief to the publio interests yet remains to be seen. It is, therefore, hardly safe to be over Btriot in exacting uniformity of opinion amongst Its members on all points that may come up. We think it was very unwise, for Snstanoe, to attempt to force its members into agreement as to the propriety of add ing to what has been already done in reconstruction in the case of Vir ginia. The conditions imposed on that (State after so much fuss are a sorry compen sation for the bitterness of feeling doveloped in the course of the discussion between the two wings of the party. It would be still more unwise to insist on a general adhesion to any financial doctrine, if for no other rea son than for the very simple one that it can mot be obtained. Nothing is gained, too. in strength or oohesiveness by expelling ob- atrenerous members. The spirits of those they leave behind are not apt to be improved by the spectacle, because the members who are most impatient under party discipline, and are most apt to form and hold opinions of their awn, are almost always the ablest men; and a party which has got rid of its ablest men, no matter what its numericaj force may be, is not far from dissolution, Of the value of brains to party organizations, and of the dancer of getting rid of them, the Democratic party is to-day a melancholy example. THE COLONIAL CRISIS. yram tht Ixmdon Saturday Itevitw. If there is sometmng to regret, there is much that is satistaotory, in the discussions that have recently taken place on colonial affairs. The oinoiai mina nas anown itseir, a usual, incapable of grasping a large idea, and tho self -constituted advocates of the colo nies have not been auogemer juuicious in the conduct of their campaign; but, on the nther hand, there has manifested itself a deep and pervading resolution not io me me coio ia Y driven from us by the apathy of states. n nd the nerverse unpatriotism of Ameri utilized politicians. It is always a misfortune l,.n rrTAAt mailers lull uunn nuu .j small men, and as yet this has been the fate of I the colonial problem, on the adequate lution Of WUICU We lUture lurmuos ui ma English race so largely depend. The whole tendency of the creed in fashion with Liberal politicians is to produce olever small men; and we say this not the loss though the party is led by a statesman whom not even his ene mies would call small, and who, when he gives his mind to the colonial question, may be trusted to deal with it gonerously and nobly. Rut Mr. Gladstone is where he is and what he is by tho strength of the rank and filo of the party, and more in spite of than by the favor of the class of prominent Liberal politicians, of whom a large seotion of his Cabinet is formed. The clever men of this school pride themselves on their scientific statesmanship, and their highest effort is to take a theory confessedly based on assumptions which are only approximately true, to shut thoir eyes to the existence of every force bnt that of self interest, to work out the consequenoos of their assumption with diligent and unfailing logio, and then to make themselves mere pas sive instruments of a necessity of thoir own creating. Wanting in sympathy and devoid of imagination, they can see in the world no thing but a theatre on which to demonstrate the experiments of a crude and tentative, though servicable, science. This is the tem per in which the rotations of England and her colonies have been approached by many of our leading politicians, and by none more conspicuously than by Earl Granville, of whom better things might have been hoped. The most fatal aspect of the case is the fana tical sincerity with which the Colonial Minister evidently believes that his narrow view of a great crisis comprises the whole range of possible truth. His predecessors in office nave unequivocally protested against the tone even more than against the substance of his des pathes. Impatient colonists have chafed at his polished indifferenoe, and the sober opi nion of all reflecting men, with the exoeption of those who are political economists and no thing more, has condemned the levity with which he has trifled with a question which in a very few years must become the gravest which English Ministers could be called upon to consider. , The very terms in which Lord Granville re pudiates the charge of seeking the dismem berment of the Empire show how incapable he has made himself of even seeing what it is that renders his policy and his language so mischievous. He tells the colonies that he really does not wish to sever their relations with what they will persist in calling the Home country, but blandly assures them in the same breath that, if they should happen to be discontented at any time with Eng lish policy, it will always be open for them to terminate the connection without fear of any compulsory interference on our part. This kind of taunt would, under any circum stances, be impolitic and indefensible in a Colonial Minister, but it is doubly mischievous now, when it is recognized as tho symbol of a party the party that avowedly aims at severing the bonds that unite this country and her colonies. In spite of all disclaimers, it points to nothing but separation. Why is it that we hear this same phrase repeated day alter day' No desire lor independence has been manifested for many years by more than tne most lnsicnincant section ot any ot our colonies. No one anticipates a reque it to be relieved from their allegiance from any real colonists, whatever mock petitions may be got up by American interlopers. Foolish Irishmen have yelled for independence, and rightly enough the cry is not listened to. The colonists have never asked for it, and yet they are daily insulted by the assurance that when ever they think fit to do bo we shall be most hnppy to let them go. It may be that, if ever the emergency arose, it would be richt and wise to abstain from coer cion, as many people in the United States thought it would be right and wise to acquiesce in the secession of the South. Rut how does this excuse a statesman for persist ently throwing in the teeth of the colonies his declaration of indifference to their alliance.-' It is generally perhaps wiser to let a runaway wife go than to reclaim her by lorce, but a hus band who daily assured his spouse that if she desired to leave him he would put no obstacle in her way would be credited by men of the world with a very decided anxiety to get rid of her. The official tone has not even the con sistency which belong to the extreme school of Mr. Goldwin Smith's disciples, who avowedly desire to bring about the dismemberment of the Empire, and use pre cisely the same language which Lord Gran ville employs to prove the absence of such wish from his mind. Unfortunately the mis chief done by the authoritative adoption of the language of the separatists is not easily to be undone, and there is little prospect of modifying the future policy of a statesman who is, or prol esses himself to be, incapable of comprehending the tendency of his own words. And yet even those whose only wisdom is the worship of political expediency might be expeciea 10 see tue piain interests oi i'-.ug land, however unable they may be to sympa thize with the aspirations of the colonies. It should not be altogether beyond the power of statesmen to look forward twenty or thirty or nity years. Mr. Oladstono has thought it lm portant to take stock of our probable supply of coals a couple of centuries hence. Is it of less moment to count the numbers and reckon the wealth which our colonies are certain to attain within a few docadon? No one doubts what the result must be. In period very, very short in the life of a nation one or two generations, at tne most t,na land, instead of a great dominant mate, sur rounded by comparatively' insignificant pro' vmces, will, it she does not throw away her opportunity, be the centre of a system of con federated nations each n ovo populous and richer than herself. THE NEGRO SENATOR FROM MISSIS SIPPI. from, the JT. T. World. Some of the Republican journals in the West are discussing the question whether Hiram R. Revels, the colored Senator elect from Mississippi, is entitled to a seat in the Senate, in view of the declaration of the Con stitution that no person shall be a Senator who shall not have been nine years a citizen of the United States. The Supreme Court decided, some twelve or thirteen years ago, that negroes were not citizens within the meaning of tho Constitution. The four teenth amendment was proposed by the radi cals for the purpose of removing the bar to negro citizenship. It declares iu its first sec tion that ''all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States." If the Supremo Court oorrectly in terpreted the Constitution in 1H."7, negroes first became citizens at ths date of tho ratifi cation of the fourteenth amendment, and no negro is eligible to a seat in the Senate until nine, nor to a Beat in the House of Representa tives until seven, years shall have elapsed wince the ratification. Conclusive as this argument seems, we have no expectation that the Souato will admit its force. In the first place, the Republican party Vas always Btrennouly denied the validity of the Dred Scott decision, and scouted the idea that it had any binding force. They are not likely to change their opinion of that decision now. In the next place, they formally disregarded it in the civil rights bill, whioh they passed before the four teenth amendment was ratified; a bill whioh declares the negroes citizens, although Con gress bad no authority to pass such an act if the Dred Scott decision was correct, and por sons of African descent are excluded from citizenship by the Constitution. The ground wmcb the Henate will take in Revels case will e, that when the fourteenth amendment sava that "all persons born or naturalized in the. United States are citizens." it means that per sons naturalized in the United Statos are citi zens from the date of their naturalization; and persons born in the United States, citi rens from the date of their birth. This doctrine is hardly worth contesting. inasmuch as the qnestion has no permanent interest if it be admitted that the fourteenth amendment has been duly ratified. If the ratification is null, the negroes will lose all the privileges of citizenship, including eligi bility to Congress among the rest: but if the fourteenth amendment is to stand, the seven or nine years is not worth disputing abont. considering that the Republicans will not de clare any election to Congress void by reason of negro birth, so long as they remain in power. By the Constitution, each house is made the sole judge of the election and quali fication of its members, and if the Senate admits the Mississippi negro, there is no con stitutional process by which be can be ousted. With the known committals of the Republican party, tne question nas at present only a theoretical or speculative interest. The nine and seven years citizenship re quired of Senators and Representatives have not always been strictly construed, even by the Democratic party. When we annexed Texas we at once admitted her into the Union as a State, "on an equal footing with the ori ginal States in all respects whatever." As an equal State in the Union Texaswas entitled to banators and Representatives; but her citi zens had been foreigners up to the date of annexation. Was she then to wait nine years before she could be represented in the Senate, and seven before she could be represented in the House? No suoh question was raised. although it might have been raised with great plausibility. lier henators and Representatives were admitted to seats without any reference to the length of time they had been citizens of tho United States. If we should ever annex Canada, we should have the same thing repeated. The Canada Senators, instead of waiting nine years, would be received immediately after the dissolution of their allegiance to the British crown. There would be a necessity of violat ing the Constitution in one respect, and its minor requirements would yield to the major. The right of the State to two Senators would overrule the nine years' citizenship. Rut in the case of the Southern negroes there is no such overruling necessity. The Southern States have abundance of duly qualified citi zens from which they can select Senators and Representatives; but the negro Senator will nevertheless be udmitted, in order that the Republican party may preserve its consis tency. THE PRINCE A NICE YOUNG MAN. From tht A'. T". Sun. Nobody could behave any better than Princo Arthur behaves. He is a nice, modest, unassuming, quiet young gentleman. That he was born a prince is something for which he cannot justly be censured. It may be a misfortune, but certainly it is not his fault, lie was born at too early an age to bo held responsible for the circumstances. o are sorry to learn tnat tne rrince was hissed by a few ill-mannered people at Niblo's Iheatre. No doubt, however, that Mr. A. T. Stewart, who owns the theatre, made the proper apologies for this rudeness. The Prince will find tho young men in this city more cultivated and better dressed than the o litre gawks whom he saw about Washington, More sorry than for the hisses are we for the marked insult put upon the Prince by so old a man as Moses U. Grinnell. We are as ardent as anybody in our republicanism, but we do not on tnat account leel that we should be justified in offering an affront to unott ending members of the lintish royal family. Mr. Grinnell is in error if he thinks it was incumbent upon him as Collector to insult Prince Arthur, just because he was passing through the city. What did Air. Urinnell do i VV hy, he sent the Prince an invitation to a ball, to be sure; but then in doing so he took particular pains to intimate to the Prince that he did not consider him anybody, and that it was not on his own account that he was invited, In the next place, he insulted all the royal families ot Europe by saying to tho Prince thut ho was invited because his mother was a respectable woman just as if it was a very uncommon thing lor the mother of a Prinoe to be a decent woman ! Finally, Mr. Grinnell insulted the memory of the late Prince Albert by saying to Prince Arthur that it was to testify respect for his mother only that the invitation was given, In other words, because the Prince had one respectable parent, clearly implying inas much as the Prince must have had two pa rt lit h that the other could not have been worthy of respect. We are not partial to monarchical institu tions, but we think this re publio is strong enough to let a broth of a boy, even if he be a prince, pass through the city of New York without being insulted. feigned to the letter of air. Urinnell are some most excellent names; but every one knows how hurriedly and carelessly signa tures are affixed to letters after they are once drawn up. These gentlemen are among our solid citizens; but they will do well hereafter to criticise more closely documents drawn up lor th em to sign by Mr. Urinnell. Hie Prince must not infer from the man ner in which he has seen a few persons make fools of themselves at Washington, that the American people are all fools; or that most of us have not too much respect for ourselves. as well as for him, to insult him as Collector Urinnell his done. We are pleased to learn that the Prince is to visit the lion. G. S.
