2 T11K DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH 1MI1LADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1B70. riRiT or sun rnsss, Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal ijpon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. ritlEKTB AND PLAYERS. From the A. F. World. What see Hi 8 to tin an unreasonable denun ciation baa been visited by snndry journals npon tbe clergyman who declined to allow the funeral service of the late Mr. Holland to be celebrated from his church. Christian burial is accorded to all professedly Christian men, and by tbe rubrics of the Episcopal Church br.riitl, according to the forms of that Church is permitted to all persons except et communicotea, suicides, and uubaptized adults, and to these three classes it is ex pressly denied. Whether the late Mr. Hol land fulfilled the third requisite we do not know; but it is probable that he did, inas much as the clergyman applied to signified bis willingness to officiate at his funeral while signifying his unwillingness to bury him from bis church. Christian burial was undoubtedly due to Mr. Holland, and Christian burial Mr. Sabine, the clergyman in question, offered to give him. But the claim to be buried from a particular church or from any church is not included in a claim to Christian burial, and cannot be made, as of right, except for tbe members of that church. There is no pretense that Mr. Holland was a member of Mr. Sabine's congregation, and the request for a public funeral was one the an swer to which rested entirely in the discretion of the clergyman. He chose to refuse it, with out making any reflection upon the character of Mr. Holland, upon the simple and intelli gible ground that he considered the influence of tbe stage pernicious, and tbnt it would be impossible for him to admonish bis congre gation against it, with any chance of being listened to, after he had extended not merely the rites which he offered to extend but the honors of tbe church to a member of the theatrical profession. Whether he was right or wrong in his view of the stage does not matter. If he conscientiously held it, it was bis duty to take what must have been to any man the painful course of refusing the request of the mourners over a friend. That he took it notwithstanding its painfalness entitles him to tbe respect of everybody, including those persons who consider his scruples mis placed, and not to tbe abuse of anybody. DEMOCRACY AND TARIFFS. From the A. 1'. Tribune. Tbe TftWsays: "If General Jackson was a protectionist' In 1824, he bad renounced the doctrine in 133:t, when he tried to have Mr. Verplanck's rice-trade Urld'passed Instead of Mr. Clay's compromise. Van Uuren, Wright, and the other Democratic supporters of the tariff of 1S.'8, whom the Tribune, Is so fond of parad ing, fell away from the faith. The Tribune has been unconsciously furnishing evidence or the decadence of protectionist ideas since the youth or Its elitor. The high-tariff doctrine was scouted and chased out of the Democratic party before the close of Oeneral Jackson's administration. Does the Tribune consi der that renunciation as growth, or decay ?" llJf he was? General Jackson himself voted in the Senate for the tariff of 1824 the first tariff ever framed and passed by Congress exclusively for protection. His let ter to Dr. Coleman embodied the views whereof that vote was the practical applica tion. And letter and vote together secured him the enthusiastic support of Pennsylvania, whereby he was made President. "In 18:;;t," General Jackson had filled the measure of his ambition by securing a re election Pennsylvania again giving bim the largest majority of any state. Did be give her fair notice of "the decadence of protec tionist ideas" in his mind? Or did be craftily, knavitbly, allow her to trust and support him as the same Jackson that she had taken np in 1824, placed at the head of tbe poll, and thus secured his election in 1828 ? The World assumes that he had changed his views "in 183:5." How was it in 1832 ? Would be have been so backed by Pennsylvania had she been aware of the "decadence" of his "protectionist ideas ?" Let those who regard him as honest and candid answer these ques tions! We know how Pennsylvania was swindled into voting for Polk in '44. How was it in 32? The Wot Id says that "the high-tariff doo trine was scouted and chased out of the De mocratic party '(" It is probably too young to remember when General Jackson was commended as in favor of a "judicious tariff." Honest men do not juggle with such slippery phrases. No features of the present tariff are more assailed than the duties on salt and pig iron; yet the former is lower to-day and the latter will be after to-morrow than those imposed with direct reference to revenue by the Calhoun-Lowndes tariff of 181G. He who deprecates a "high tariff," or avows himself for a "judicious tariff," deals trickily, in the spirit that shies at free trade, and avows its devotion to "revenue reform." Stop this snake-in-the-grass wriggling, and fctand up ! We are for protection: if you are against it, why not manfully say so i THE GREAT SPANISH TRAITOR WOUNDED. Frm the A". I'. Sun. Tbe king-making proclivities of the Spa nish Warwick are beginning to produce their inevitable results. General Prim, wno was one of the chief instruments in the dethrone nient of Isabella, has been assaulted for his successful advocacy of a new King. To all who know Spain and Spaniards, and the career and character of General Prim, the only wonder will be, not that be was attacked, but that he was wounded. That a man who baa in turn espoused. identified himself with, used, and, when it Buited him, treacherausly abandoned and fiercely denounced every political party in Spain, should create a host of enemies among bis countrymen, is but natural; most natural that his last treason should have fanned the spark of vengeanoe into a flame. But that he should be wounded and sot killed is strange; for, unlike Achilles, Prim's head is supposed to be his only vulnerable part, the rest of his body being always protected bv a bullet-proef coat of mail. General Prim is only fifty -six years old; but if belonging successively to every politioal party be a test of aotivity, he bas certainly not allowed grass to grow under his feet. On his entrance into public life, he was an adhe rent of the Queen Mother Christina. Next he was a progresista, opposed to Espartero; but so fond of power was be that he accepted from Maria Christina, on her restoration, title, grades, and honors. His second treach ery was to his own province, Catalonia; aud Christina, suspecting bim, soon stripped him of his title and generalship. In 18.:i be joined tbe Turkish army, and distinguished himself on tbe Danube. He was the only member of tbe old Progrebista party elected to tbe Cortes In 18.7, after monarchical in stitutions bad triumphed iu Spain in the par son of Narvaez. During tha war wacjad by Spain against Morocco, ho earned by bis gtl lant i v in command of 'he division of ros- i ve tbe title of Marquis de los Castillejos and grandee of Spain. This very title was the root of fat a re trou ble and disgrace. Marshal O'Donnell, who commanded the Spanish army in Madrid, re ceived at tbe same time the title of Duke of Tetnari; and Prim thought that in giving to himself a secondary honor to that conferred upon bis chief, his own cliiras hnd been un fairly valued. The attempt at the assassina tion of O'Donnell, in bis house at Somas Aguas, on the (!th of December, was generally attributed to Prim. When, in January, lKijfi, be headed an un successful revolution at Aranjuez, he was tbe first man who escaped into Portugal; and for this act of cowardice bo was violently de nounced by O'Donnell in the Cortes. Among other charges which O Donnoll made, be said that be had never known General Prim to go into action except in a coat of mail. In September, 1808, he joined Admiral To pete iu the revolution against Isabella. The platform of this revolution was the establish ment of a federative republic in Spain. But as soon as Prim came into power, although tbe suppression of tbe army was one of the mottoes inscribed on the banner raised in Cadiz, be at once set to work to gain its favor by maintaining it in its former strength. A quarrel between Topete and Prim three weeks ago would have resulted in a duel but for the interference of friends. His diplomacy in inducing the Duke of Aosta to accept the crown, and the Cortos to accept bis candidate, has stamped him in tbe eyes of Spaniards of every party as a traitor of tbe deepest dye. WHICH OF THE TWO TELLS THE TRUTH 1' From the A. 1. World. Senator Conkling. in bis speech during that discreditable night session on the San Domirjgo business, arraigned Mr. Sumner for an intentional effort to mislead the President when he called upon the Senator in his own bouse. He declares the true rule of dealing between one official and another as between one private individual and another, to be this: "A promise or statement made to another is to bind bim who makes it in the sense in which the other has a right to understand it." Now, admitting the soundness of such ethics, it is certainly necessary to its just application that tbe promisee bo of sufficient intelligence and altogether in a condition to correctly appreciate tbe language used by the promisor. President Grant, it is said by Mr. Sumner, addressed tbe latter four several times at this interview as Chairman of tha Judiciary Committee. What does this be token ? If Grant knew better, but was heed less of speech, that theory of exculpation necessarily involves an unpardonable condi tion of the speaking faculties. May not the listening organs have been as badly demo ralized t In this connection we cannot lay out of sight a very significant statement by Mr. Sumner that he deliberately meditated upon tbe reply he should and did give, and is able to repeat its very words. Wby was this ? Were there any circumstances of the inter view which warned him to be thus circum spect to provide against intentional or unin tentional misrepresentation ? But, however this may be, Mr. Conkling having proclaimed bis ethical premise, tbe debate in the Senate and in the newspaper press hostile to Sumner proceeds on the assumption that in the interview the Presi dent was a simple-minded, guileless, clear beaded soldier dealing with a Senator of very opposite qualities. It is impossible for one to read all this without being involuntarily turned back to events in tbe career of General Grant some three years ago. Then it was that his im mediate predecessor in the office of Presi dent desired to rid tbe War Office of Mr. Stanton and secure therein an incumbent who would not pursue Stanton's policy. Gen eral Grant accepted tbe office after a conver sation which President Johnson had "a right to understand" as a pledge that he would pro mote or at least not thwart the avowed pur poses of his chief, which understanding the latter charged that General Grant violated. The result was a personal correspondence between these two eminent officials which ended in an issue of personal veracity. Tha turning point therein was the assertion by President Johnson that he was assured by General Grant that if the Senate undertook to restore Stanton,the (General Grant) would either retain tbe ofhee to the end of j udioial proceedings or else give the President timely notice to enable him to appoint another Secretary ad interim. Instead of doing either of these two things, General Grant voluntarily and suddenly retired from the War Office without any communication with his chief, and permitted Mr. Stanton to enter therein unopposed. In one phase of the controversy mere was an issue oi veracity raised bv General Grant between himself and President Johnson, in which the latter was sustained by all the members of the Cabinet who heard tbe conversation, and General Grant was left unsupported by any one. But tbe gist of the whole matter was in a written confession which General Grant subsequently made to the effect that, while be accepted tne war Urace under circum stances which permitted tbe President to understand that be did so in order to co-ope rate in tbe purposes of tbe latter, his real purpose at tbe time was to frustrate, by a final surrender of tbe office to Mr. Stanton or some other person of hia views, the well known intentions of his chief. In other words, General Grant confessed that he had acted dishonorably if the facta as alleged by President Johnson were true, and, without himself denying tbe facts in such a way as to stake his veracity, tbeir ferutn was established by a concurring body or overwhelming testi mony proving nia own aamission oi tneni. This transaction derogates from the assumed guilelessness of tbe President upon which Mr, Conkling bases bis superstructure of assault upon Senator Sumner, for certainly tne recol lection of his affair with Andrew Johnson must have been so fresh in the mind of Presi dent Grant as to warn him not to put his trust in anything but the most explicit declara tions, or, in other words, to be sure that the reply of Senator Sumner was not in language at all ambiguous. Assuming that he was thus on bis guard and capable of appreciating what was said in tbe interview, there is an issue of personal veracity raised between Grant and Sumner by the declaration of the lat ter and Mr. Conkling in the Senate which cannot be evaded or put out of sight. Mr. Conkling, as Grant's best friend, speak ing in the Senate it must be assumed after conference on the very point charges unre servedly that Mr. Sumner, at the interview in bis own house in respect to the Babcock Batz treaty, either pledged himself thereto or intended deliberately and with malice aforethought to deceive and miblead the Presi dent. This sort of an issue with Ganeral Grant would be bad enough for the latter if it were the first one. But it happens to be tbe second. We are curious to see what the moral an 1 religious forces of this country, represented by those clergymen and good men who have so resolutely sustained Mr. Sumner and vin dicated his moral goodness through so many years, win say or tnia new and painful ordetl in which tbeir favorite statesman and moral ist is now placed. MB. SUMNER AND SAN DOMINGO. From the A. 1'. Times. Whether Senator Sumner adheres to or recedes from tbe position he has assumed in tbe San Domingo dispute ia a question to be cieciaeu uy nimseii. wnetner, if tbe oppor tunity recurred, he would as some of the newspaper corienpondents allege repeat hia recent speecn, making it; more severe, if changed at all, ia a matter which must be left to bis own taste. If he prefer personalities to principles, and imagines that vehement attacks on the Presidet-t constitute proof of statesmanship, he will probably travel further on the course he has chosen. He may rest assured, however, that the approv ing words of Gerrit Smith or William Lloyd Uurrison will not snake the judgment formed by the great body of intelligent observers in reference to the merits of the controversy. That judgment is not favorable to him. His attainments, experience, and general charac ter might bave been accepted as guaran tees against tbe adoption in bis case of tbe tactics common to ordinary ward politicians. He of all men might bave been supposed to be superior to tbe methods of carrying on a discussion with which speakers or less pretension nave no rule the country familiar. Where we looked for an example we have found a warning. A Massachusetts Senator, instead of btating calmly and cour teously tbe reasons which impelled him to oppose the policy of the Exeoutive, deemed it not unbecoming bis reputation to assail the President, to insult bis motives, and coarsely and offensively deride hia sugges tions. Mr. Sumner mav look back on wtiat be said and did with entire self-complacency. but tbe public regard bim and his speech in quite a different light. They look upon the speech as discreditable to bim, and aa an illustration of the degrading tendencies which have crept into Congressional debates, and lessened their lDtluence upon outside opinion, So far as San Domingo is concerned, Mr, Sumner bas done more than any other man to break down the opposition encountered by the treaty. The policy of annexation was a fair 6tibject for difference of opinion. Weighty considerations were available ou both sides. On either, a plausible argument might be constructed with strict reference to expediency. The President ban certainly stated his view temperately and fairly. If those portions of his late message which re late to it indicate an ardor not usually dis played by him, there is no reason for suppos ing that it proceeded from anything but a conviction of tbe importance of the subjeot from the stand-point of public interest. Was it not possible to present the opposite view with the same temper and tbe same respect for a different opinion ? Are we to conclude that the opposition to the treaty rests not upon profound conviction, but upon persoual pique and animosity? We apprehend that this is tbe conclusion which Mr. Sumner's course has forced upon the minds of many. The mere fact that he has exposed himself to sus picion upon this point is fatal to hia authority in the final disposition of the main ques tion. It will be said, aud not without a sem blance of plausibility, that he is simply keeping up a fight with the President, irre spective of matters directly connected with the treaty or the policy that is relied upon for its justification. If this impression does in justice to Mr. Sumner, be can blame only himself. He threw away all the influence be ever bad in regard to San Domingo when be converted a grave issno into a pretext for bandying epithets and making war upon the President. SPECIAL.
