Secession and the Democratic Leaders.
Our Democratic contemporary is sadly troubled
over Habbis' recent speech in Conzress. Hi9
bold avowal that the doctrine or sesesMon is
that of the Democratic party fills ' it with con
sternation. It flic for aid in refuting this
damaging admission to James Bcchanan and C
0. Vallandigh am I
It is welcome to all the consolation it can npt
from these two worthies. When the Rebellion
broke out, Buchanan's doctrine was that no
State had a legal right to secede, but U' it did
secede nobody had a right to prevent it. He acted
on this pusillanimous; theory and while jworn
to protect and defend the integrity of tne nation,
and clothed with all its powers for that end, re
fused to lay a straw In the way of the traitors
who were breaking up the Union. Tie practically
aided secession more than any other man.
As to Vallandioham, he was the open friend
and ally ot the Rebels through the whole war,
and practically as much of a secessionist as
Floyd or Jeff. Davis.
But why does not our contemporary go to the
real Democratic leaders for their opinion on this
subiect? Why does it not consult Mason and
Slidbll, Jefp. Davis and Benjamin, Toombs,
Stbvbns, Breckinridge, and the like? These
are the men of brains in the Democratic party,
and its true leaders. Tbe Democratic party has
been practically a minority in the North for tbe
last ten years. Its peat of power has been in
the South, and there is the proper place to look
for a true exposition of its views. Do this, and
what do we see f Why, we see that the Uebel
lion was, In reality, a rebellion of the great lead
ers of the Democratic party. We say this, because
at the outbreak of the Rebellion the Democratic
party had become localized and confined to the
Souih. There was where its strength was.
There was where its leaders led the people and
dominated public sentiment. At the North it
had ceaed to have power. Northern Demo
crats had become the mere allies ot the South
era leaders, who wielded the power ot' the party.
They had no majorities to back them. They
had become practically of no moment.
Hence, Harris is right. Secession wa the
doctrine of the great Democratic leadeis. The
only men who had a ri?ht to speak for the
party in 18G1 were the men who did speak, and
who both spoke and acted for secession. And
those great leaders do not now discard their old
doctrine. They merely acknowledae that, for
Hie present, secession cannot be carried out. As
the New York Daily News remarked last Satur
day, in a leader on this topic:
"That question has been submitted to the
arbitrament ot arms: and, so far as the mere in
fluences of physical force can determine it. it
has, for the lime being, been determined. The
South accepts tbe result, in rpspect to it- pre
sent practical application; but that acceptance
does not imply any abandonment, in thowjht, of
the principle upon widen, the secession mocement
wasfounded."
And It subsequently adds, in language which
every true Union man shouIJ lay to bourn
"If the ball e in the future, in the legislative
halls, that battle that tbe radicals so much fear
and deprecate, shou'd hereafter establish the right
of secession, it will prove that in republics there
is a power misrhtier than the sword to vindicate
the right. But, to win that battle, the Xouth must
have Uongressional representation."
Here we have the Democratic programme in a
nutshell. Restore the South to power in the
nation. It will then be, as it was at the out
break of the Rebellion, unanimously Demo
cratic. Then comes the battle of the future to
"establish the right of secession," and, under
Democratic auspices, to regain the ' 'lost cause"
for which the "stern statesman" iow pines and
languishes in durance vile within the massive
walls of Fortress Monroe. There is just one
weak point in this nice little scheme, and that
s that the people, who, at a cost of three hun
dred thousand lives and three thousand millions
of dollars, have just put down the Rebellion
inaugurated by these Democratic leaders, are
not quite ready to restore them to power. If it
were not for this little difficulty the plan might
possibly succeed.
Aid lor Mexico.
Hon. Thaddkus Stevens gave notice in the
House of Representatives, on Saturday, of his
intention to offer a resolution instructing the
Committee on Foreign Affairs to inquire into
the propriety of loaning the Republic of Mexico
$20,000,000, on proper security, to enable said
Republic to prevent the overthrow of its
Government, and the establishment of a mo
narchical government on the continent of North
America. He followed up his notice with a
powerful speech in favor of the Monroe doc
trine, in which he spoke of the "Micawber
policy of our Foreign Secretary," and eloquently
urged the extending of aid to the struggling
Republic.
Mr. Stevens' speech strikes a chord which
vibrates in every American "bosom. Tho over
throw of a North American republic by foreign
arms, and the establishment of an empire, with
a scion of a foreign house at its head, is a matter
to which cur people can never become recon
died. Tbe Government of Maximilian was
established in open defiance of the long settled
and publicly avowed policy ot the United States.
Our hands were tied at the time by our tremen.
lou6 civil war, bo that we were in no condition
to make a practical resistance to the consumma
tion of the scheme; though, as Mr. Stevens
says, "we do not forget the bold policy of Rome,
which made her declare war against a powerful
nation, and march a legion against her, to
avenge an insult, while Hannibal was at her
gates." As General Grant has on more than one
occasion remarked, the overthrow of the Mexi
can Republic was a part of the Rebellion.
Certainly it never would have been consum
mated, even if attempted, had it not been for
the Rebellion.
Mr. Stevens proposes to take a mortgage for
the $20,000,000 on Lower California, Souora,
Sinaloa, or Chihuahua. Doubtless this would

TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
method of helping Mexico would be to buy
these provinces at once, and pay ber the
$20,000,000 down. Tbe control of the Gulf of
California Is becoming almost a necessity to our
Interests on the Pacific, and in Arizona and New
Mexico. The people of these Mexican provinces
would rejoice to become citizens of the United
States, and their resources, whn developed,
would add greatly to the wealth of the nation.
Chihuahua has an area of 83,000 sq,uare
miles and a population of 164,000. Sonora has an
area of 100.000 square miles, and a population of
139,000. Sinaloa has an area of 33,000 square
miles, and a population of 163,000. Lower
California has an area ot 60,000 square miles,
and a population of 12,000. Here is an area and
a population sufficient tor several tine terri
tories. Their mineral wealth Is very great, and
they would give us an outlet to the Gulf of Cali
fornia which would bp of inestimable Value to
the interests of our interior domain. The
Mexican Republic would gladly sell us those valu
able povlnccs for money and material that would
nspist her in OHviiiff herself from utter destruc
tlon. The probability is we shall never again
have so good an opportunity to further our own
interests, and at the same time do a goo4 turn
to a neighboring country, as by seizing ths
golden moment to purchase thc.-e provinces of
Mexico.
Mr. Stevbnh l as exhibited the foresight of a
true statesman in calling the attention of tun
country at this time to this most important
question.
Revolution in tbe Code of Maritime Law
Tue recent suggestion emanating fr m Austria,
that during the anticipated war all merchant,
vessels belonging to coutondinj nations t.houl 1
be exempt from seizure by any of the belligerent",
is a revolution in the me'hod of conducting in
ternational struggles which cannot but be
treated as an advance of civilization. The as
sent of Prussia has already been accorded to
this amelloiatiiiflr amendment In the code
of warfare, and it Is probable that the
concurienee of all the powers will very easily be
secured. The mighty effect of this suggestion
can only be appreciated by reference to the modo
in which vessels engaged In the carrying trade
were treated in recent years. In all wars, any
merchantman sailing under the flag of
a hostile power was liable to be con.
fiscated by any of the men-of-war belonging
to the foe. It mattered not whether the
'freightage was entirely merchant in its
character. It wad of small importance
whether it had lint and medicine, ammunition
and cannon, or perfumes and silks. The vic
tor did not examine the invoice. He simply set
it cn Are and left it to destruction. We have
had instances of this custom up to the very
latest war. In our struggle with Great Britain,
in 1812, the great forte of our navy was the faci
lity with which it destroyed the commerce of
Eugland, and the grand means by which all op
position was subdued, not by military, but by
navnl exploits. Our foe cared not for the lives
of her soldiers, but she could not bear to see her
vessels in flames. The steps of civilization,
however, have been gradually made percepti
ble. The system of privateering was abolished
by international convention. Thereafter all pri
vateers were pirates, and the great caiue of
complaint held by us against Great Britain was
the total disregard evinced by her in regarl
to the law. It would seem, however, that the
day has at lost arrived when neutral com
merce will not be prostrated by the contests
of rival powers. How ereat an advantage has
been thus secured is attested by a comparison
with the policy pursued during the Napoleonic
wars. Not only were all the vessels of one con
tending power declared lawful prey to seizure
by tbe navy of tne other, but even neutrals
were included, under certain restrictions. The
infamous Edict of Nantes, and the equally ob
noxious retaliation the British Orders In Coun
cildeclared all the ports of France and
England closed and in a stale of blockade. Thus
eveL vessels under the flags of friendly nations,
such as the United States, were openly attacked
and captured, if seen endeavoring to enter' any
of the great ports of Europe. All the commerce
ot the se"B9 was, in lact, placed tributary to the
passion or avarice of belligerents, and the risrhts
ot property and of justice openly disregarded
because the power rested in the hands of the
violators of law.
A better day has now dawned; and how much
brighter it is can only be realized by contrast.
Tnen all was subiect to attack; now all are
exempt from danger. The very forces at war
are now within the strict control of a general
law, and an Austrian merchantman cannot be
attacked by Prussian, nor can Italian vessels
bs captured or destroyed. The lion and the
lamb lie down together; and we may yet see
the day when a fleet of Prussian vessels will be
acting as a peaceful convoy to a navy of mer
chantmen sailing under the Austrian flag. So
great a revolution has thus been effected in the
sentiment?, as well as In tbe practice of the age.
While, as philanthropists, we hail with ioy
this improvement, yet, as Americans, a little
selfish regret obtrudes itself. It must be remem
bered that in all the history of European wars
we And an unexampled prosperity secured to the
merchants of America. Holding, as we ever
have, tbe doctrine of non-intervention in foreign
affairs, we have ever held the attitude of neu
trals, and have generally been exempt from
molestation durins tbe progress of the struggle.
As the flags ot the belligerents were unable to
protect peaceful merchantmen from capture by
their opponents, safety has been secured by
throwing all of the vast carrying trade of the
world into our hands. We have always had,
during a European war, a monopoly of the com
merce of both worlds. We have been a privi
leged character, and, as such, have been
exempted from all the vexations and damages
incident to a European power while a European
war continued.
Under this reform, however, we will lose tbii
pre-eminence. We will no longer be the only
power whose flag will bring protection. The
very contending forces themselves are exempt
from attack, and no need exists for transferring
to American bottoms what can be as safely car
ried in the vessels of native build. We will thug
be part losers, for our mercantile marine had
calculated on being the means of carrying
all the commerce of Europe. We will lose mil
lions by the moral revolution; yet we cannot
but hail it with r-atisf'uction, for the day may yet
come when, beneath its protection, our vessels
can sail sately, while we contend with any
enemy. The great commercial nations, like
Entrland and the United States, may hall with
peculiar joy this renovation.
Scott and Cass Remarkable Coincidences.
TnsBs are many remarkable points of coinci
dence in tbe lives of tbe late Generals Scott an J
Cass. They were bora about tbe same tiro
Cass in 1782 and Scorr in 1786. Each studied
and practised law. They entered public life at
nearly the same time Scorr at a captain in tbe
army in 1808, Cass ai a member of tbe Ohio
Legislature In 1806. They both participated in
tbe war of 1812 Cass as a colonel of volunteers,
and Scorr as lieutenant-colonel in the regular
army, and each rose to the rank of brigadier
general. From that time forward they both re
mained In public life. Scorr was offered the
position of Secretary of War under President
Madison, and Cass was Secretary of War under
President Jackson. Each was a Presidential
candidate Cass in 1848, Scott In 1832, and each
was defeated. The slavery question was the
cause of the defeat in each instance the defec
tion of the Free Soilers under Van Bcben de
feath g Cass In '4S, and the general defection of
Southern Whigs delcatina Scorr In "2. Each
retired from public life at about Hie same time;
and now their deaths have occurred at an in
terval of only a few weeks.
It is not often that tho careers of two great
men run so closely side by side for so long a
time, and. present so many points of striking
similarity.
The Movements tn the Dnchies;
The first movements oi actual warfare between
Prusjia and Austria are takins place in tho pro
vinces of Schleswig and llolstoin. The former
of these has been occupied, since their conquest
lrom Dcumnrk, by Prussia, the latter bv Aiij.
tria. General Manteuffel being the Military
Governor of Schleswig, and General Gadlenz
tbe Military Governor ot llolstein. On the 7th
the Prussians, under the command of General
Flibps, crossed the Elder, the boundary between
the province, and entered Holxtelu, and are
said to be under orders to occupy Riid;burr,
Kiel, and Ttzchoo, important towns in tho north
em part of llolstein. Meanwhile the Austrian
forces which have been occupying Holstein are
concentrating at Altona, in the southern part
of that province. Should Austria be in
clined to contest tbe actual occupation of llol
stein. she has full communication with her base
of operations through Saxony and nanovcr.
The more probable immediate seat of the war is
Silesia, the southernmost province ol Prussia,
and where already th mass of tho Prusian
army is being concentrated.
The Horrors of War.
The impending wr between Prussia and Aus
tria seems to be very unpopular with tho peo
ple of the former country. The accounts from
there tell us of women collecting at the railroad
stations, and throwing themselves upon the
track in front of the car in which th"ir hus
bands are about to bo conveyed away to tun
army. At one place a ruse had to be resorted to
to get the soldier off. Their wives were told
to get into t ars in the rear ot the train, and
they should be allowed to accompany their
husbands. Ol course the -poor creatures were
deceived, and left behiud. The Prussian mili
tary service is compulsory, and the hardships
and suffering produced bv a great war can
hardly be overestimated. The game of war may
be noble sport lor sovereigns, but it is woe to
the poor people who on either side furnish "foo l
tor powder."
The Otero Mnrdcr.
AI'l'EAHAN'CE OF THE PRISONERS GONZALES AND
FELLICER.
These two men, convicted of the murder of
Jose Garcia Otero, and now lying in Kings
county ail, seem to take the decision ot the
touitof Appeal", confirming their sentence of
death, without any apparent emotion. It would
appear as it they had made up their minds that
they were to sutler for the atrocious and cold
blooded crime of which they were accused and
convicted. Gonzales has improved considerably
fince his delul at the Forty-fourth Precinct
Station House. He has grown fleshy, and many
ot the mot repulsive features ot his countenance
are considerably softened down. He is much
more communicative than Pellicer, and has lost
a great del ot that sullen and dogged munnor
which he exhibited in the beginning. Pellice,
on the contrary, has become quite testy and un
communicative, and seems to realize the uncom
fortable situation in which he is placed. He is
quite thin and delicate, and would hardly be
recognized as the burly, good-humored, rather
fine-looking sailor who was brought to Captain
Waddy by Roundsman Smith. Both of the men
nie constantly attended by their spiritual advi
sers, and Beem to have acquired thereby much
consolation and resignation. They are confined
in cells 13 and 14, at the end of the first corridor
n the Jail. They will be brought up before the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, for resentence as
soon as tbe District Attorney can obtain a hear

Alleged Frauds on the Government.
A POWDER SPECULATION AT THE BROOKLYN NAVY
TAKD A UNITED STATES NAVAL OfFICES IN
CLOSE ARREST.
A few davs ago, a United States naval officer
in the Ordnance Department ot the Brooklyn
Navy Yard was arrested, charged with dufraud
ing the Government to the extent of a large
amount of money, by selling a schooner load of
funpowder, and appropriating the proceeds to
is own benefit. The matter was brought to
litht in an accidental way, and is as follows:
On Thursday of lat week, a gentleman doing
business in New York called at the Ordnance
Depaitment of the Navy Yard, and asked
if there was any powder for sale. The
officer told him there was. Upon inquir
ing the price, and being told, tbe gentle
man exclaimed. "How is it you have raised
the price?" "We have not," sail the otficer;
"neither has there been any sold at private sale."'
Tbe gentleman thereupon said: "iTes there has;
for I boutht a schooner load from the officer
commanding at Ellis' Island magazine early last
spring, and only paid so much,' naming the
price. Tbe gentleman made turther disclosures
in regard to tbe ma'ter, when tho facts -were
communicated to Admiral Bell, commanding
the Navy Yard, and also to the Bureau ot Ord
nance at Washington. Mr. Reach, a Govern
ment detective, was put to work on the case,
which he lollowed no until he got tbe delinquent
into his custody, when he forthwith was trans
ferred to the "brig" of tbe United States ship
Vermont. Commander H. A. Wise, the chief of
the Naval Bureau of Ordnance, came to this city
frm Washington, and Is now investigating the
matter. It 1b estimated that thp load of powder
was worth from $25,000 t $,0,000.
We give the obove statement as tbe rnmor
goes, the authorities at tbe Navy Yard peremp
torily refusing to divulge any of the facts. Ar.
