THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1870. snniT or inn mass. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Toplos Compiled Every Day for the Even in a Telegraph. PRESIDENT (HUNT'S SIN DOMINGO JOB. F,mthS. T. World. Tbe cbiof topio in Washington on Thurs day was tbe broached and battled attempt to put Senator Patterson off the Committee on Foreign delations, and substitute) a member not hostile to tbe acquisition of San Do mingo. Tbe active agent in this intrigue was Senator Chandler, who, conjointly with Cameron, manages General Grant's politics. The fact that he was foiled must be regarded as a triumph over the President, and a second defeat of bis notorious fan Domingo job. The excitoment and fracas caused by this attempt show clearly enough which way the wind sits in relation to the pet scheme of the President. Considering that it occupied more space in bis message than any other topio, so swift a defeat is a signal humiliation. When, in spite of the President s personal lobbying, tbe San Domingo treaty broke dowD, at the last session, the public supposed that ended the job. It was accordingly a surprise to most readers of the message that General Grant returned to the charge and attempted to circumvent the Senate, as a part ol the treaty-making power, by a vene ment proposition to acquire San Domingo by joint resolution. Why Cameron and Chan dler counselled him to propose this method is obvious. It requires two-thirds of the Senate to ratify a treaty; but a bare majority of the two Houses can pass a joint resolution. Suppobiug 72 Senators to be present, it would take 48 to ratify a treaty, while 37 would be sufficient to pass a resolution; which would be equivalent to a gain of 11 votes for tbe San Domingo job. liut when the joint resolution came into the Senate, the first step would be to refer it to the Committee on Foreign Isolations. As a hostile committee might strangle the scheme in its cradle, and the committee as now composed is known to be hostile, a plan was concocted to trausfer one of the opposition members, and substi tute a thick-aud-thin supporter of the Presi dent in his place; Senator Conkling being the man pitched upon for that purpose. The in trigue was seen through; and it threatened such a tempest that Chandler and his asso ciates were fain to drop their scheme and leave the Committee on Foreign Relations unchanged. The feeling provoked by this exploded manwnvre will so Mharpen the hos tility to the San Domingo job, that it will find even less favor iu the Sonato than it did last winter. The Testis precedent, which suggested to General Grant's advisers the new tactics, is not applicable to this case. With the excep tion of Texas all our acquisitions of terri tory have been made by tre.tty, which is so clearly the regular way that General Grant bimself contemplated no other until after he failed to get his treaty ratified. There were two circumstances urged in 1845 as reasons for taking Texas out of the regular rule. Ono was that Texas, unlike other acquisi tions, was already a State, and must come iu, if at all, as one of the States of the Union, not as mere territory in which States might subsequently be erected and almittod into tbe Union by Congress. Great stress was laid on tho argument that the treaty-making authority could not usurp any power which belonged to Congress. The power to ''admit new States into this Union" is as explicitly and exclusively lodged in Congress as tho power to make appropriations from the Fede ral treasury; and it was contended that tho treaty-making power could no more admit a new State than it could to lay a new tax. As it was conceded that Texas must come in as a State, it was maintained that nothing short of the authority of Congress could admit her. Unless, therefore. General Grant proposes to bring San Domingo immediately into the Union as a State, with black Senators and black Representatives, and that independence in local government which belongs to a State, the Texas precedent is not available. There is another consideration much dwelt upon in the Texas debates, whichhas no paral lel in the San Domingo affair. The annexa tion of Texas was a subject on which the people of the United States had expressed their decisive and unequivocal judgment. It was the leading issue of a Presidential dec tion which had just closed by the triumph of the Texas party. The overwhelming approval of the people seemed of more weight than the dissent of the few Senators who needed to be added to the majority to make a ratification. But on the San Domingo job the will of the people has never been collected. Its annexa tion has never been introduced into auy party platform. After the decisive rejection of the treaty last spring, the project was regarded as dead, and before the fall elections it had passed quite out of political consideration. If we had just had a Presidential election; if San Domingo bad been the issue, as Texas was; if General Grant bad been eleoted on that issue, as President Polk was, he might then, with some snow vt plausibility, recom mend the method pursued in the annexation of Texas. We cannot dispute that San Domingo has great fertility and a capacious harbor; but there is a tone of preposterous exaggeration in General Grant s arguments for annexation The United States have grown to be a great and populous nation vithout a port in the West Indies; and having survived the perils of infancy without such a means of defense. there is no very obvious reason why we should tremble for our safety now. We are an easy match for any nation that can bring war to this continent except Great Uritain, and a war with Great BriUin would not be decided by naval battles in the West ladies. General Grant expresses great fears lest, if we do not receive San Domingo, some European power will have the oiler and accept it. But fcucb an acceptance would be in the faee of our Monroe doctrine. We have proclaimed that doctrine so often that no nation of Eu rope is ignorant of the importance we attaeh to it, and it is not probablrf that any of them will have the temerity to defy us. Instead of pubillanimouhly holding up this danger, and conceding tne riett ot tbe European powers. General Grant would have acted more like an American President if he had reiterated the Monroe doctrine, and declared to the nations of Europe our inflexible determination that none of them shall gain any new foothold in Ilia hemisphere. Our Government has always held this tone respecting Cuba, having repeatedly declared that while it would respect the rights of Spain, it would never permit that island to pass ti any other . European power. We have only to make a similar declaration respecting San Domiago , to crush any such project iu tbe bud. Great Britain does not want it, as she has already pood haiboie in tbe West Indies, and her ex peiiet ce in Jamaica since emancipation does not prepossess her in favor of such colonies. France and Germany will be so echausUd by their present war that they will be in no baste to provoke another; and Spain is too weak to govern what she already holds in the West Indies. A resolute assertion of the Monroe doctrine is all that is needed to ward off the danger which General Grant no whiningly deplores in his message. The West India Islands belong by their geographieal posi tion to the American political system; and whether they are to fulfil their ultimate destiny as an independent confederation, or an a part of the Uuited States, we are equally interested in forbidding any new ties be tween them and Europe. General Grant is recreant to every American sentimont in ad mitting the possibility that San Domingo may pass to some European power if we do not make hot haste to acquire it. FRANCE AND ITS PROSPECTS. From the N. P. Times. To those who consider thoughtfully the crisis through which Franoe in passing, the question will often occur whether she will derive any permanent benefit from these terrible sufferings and disasters. The French people are sufficiently intelligent and quick witted, and it would seem that they must now recognize some of the defects of their social and political system, written as they are in letters of blood and fire over the land. To all foreign observers, the palpable and fatal feature of tkeir system has been its cen tralization in the capital city, and the degra dation of the popular character by a des potism. A whole nation cannot cive up its most valued interests for twenty years to a mili tary adventurer of no genius, and only dig nified by a great name, without losing self reliance and its manly virtues. Despotism crushes out the vigor and courage of a people. Every civil olliee is tilled with tho tools of tbe despotic leader. The army be comes a 1'ra torian Guard, and its Generals, knowing that they create the empire, show no subordination and enforce no discipline. All the positions of honor and duty are merely tbe means by which the Emperor's favorites nil their pockets and escape arduous labor. No work is honestly done. The cadres of a regiment are falsely filled, so that some Im perial servant can draw pay for men not in herviee. Ammunition, ordnance, and pro visions are purchased and stored under dis honest vouchers, so that the courtly favor ites may receive money for what is not bought. Everything military is shoddy. The martial empire is one vast sham. Th 9 army is lazy, luxurious, and insubordinate. The officers take the toils of a campaign in a comfortable carriage, and dread hardsqip and labor. The privates neither respect nor fear their oliicers. This vast Impe rial bubble needs only the prick of the German sword to go oil in air. Before the war, a French general of high position, seeing tho tendency of centralization and Imperialism, is reported to have said to the Emperor, "Sire, ono aay your prefects will rum the empire ! That is, it would be found that there is no local administration in Franco. The lamentable failure now in the French rural districts to organize any sort of vigorous military opposition to the Germans, is one of the most striking" fulfilments of this prediction. It is safe to say that no foreign enemy could have hud a loner line of communication for hundreds of miles over American or English territory without hav ing it broken a hundred times by locally-or ganized resistance. Yet the Prussians march through France as carelessly as the British used to do through Northern India, fearing no " ram or sudden attack. They have learned to despise the 1' roach as an inferior race. So cowed have the peasantry become that one very friendly authority, writing from in terior France, states that not only would they yield Alsace and Lorraine for peace, but "each peasant would cive ud bis neiah bor's farm" for such a blessin". So enfee bled and disorganized by imperialism have the army become, tuat another witness says that a ten-miles' march in the day will "knock up" a French corps, and even now. with France crushed under the iron heed of the foreigner, the soldiers in tho provinces are mutinous, and the generals quarrelsome find insubordinate. These laBt great faults, we believe, we are being rapidly corrected by the I renoh Ad ministration. M. Gambetta has shown great vigor in repressing mutinies and dismissing refractory Generals. General Troohu has ap parently drilled his motley crowd of soldiers imo Huuoruiu&uon ana discipline, xne ar rides of France will soon learn to obey and to endnre hardship. But whether centralize tion will be so easily unlearnt, is a more diffi cult operation. It has been ingrained in the French nation for many generations. Paris, too, has shown herself worthy of her posi tion. Jso words ot praise can ever exagge rate the courage, heroism, con stancy, and resources shown by that city of idlers and pleasure-hunters, in forming itself into a fortified camp, and look ing, for months, death by famine in the face or the awful destruction of a bombardment, without an apparent tremor or unmanly dread. Paris has for months saved France from devastation, ttho will still be held worthy to command ; and though C.esarism be dead, we fear centralism will still live. All nations but the French note, at this time with disgust, the French prevailing "unve racity" of the French leaders and of the popu lace. All appear to be afraid to face facts, Through the whole war, this has evidently been the curse of both Government and people. Hardly any one seemed to wish to know ihe truth. No more terrible symptom ot tbe decadence of a nation can appear The hopeful sigD, however, even here, is that the apparently best leader in Franoe is the one "silent and veracious" man, General Trocbu, who has never deceived the popu lace, and who, beyond any, foresaw the de fects in the French military system. M. Gambetta, on tbe other baud, though an able man, evidently belongs to the other class, who have brought such disasters on France. A defect like this must be deeply seated in tbe French character. This war may have brought it out. If it have, and if imperial ism bo forever rooted out of French soil, then may tbe French themselves, in future generations, own that this fearful "trial of tire" has rt generated the nation.
