If anr ono lnis labored under tlio (IcIiihIoii that

a mere call-boy of (JoHurcM. or ol uny oilier
pwer lie iii'iHt have been undeceived by hi
nof, frank, poldicrlikc, mid htutei'iniuilikc ines
tire of Wednesday, wherein lie tells Coiitrrens
ftiinlr that it oujtht not to iidjonni without
tkiiifr decisive action on the ntatuit of Virginia
Hli tt y'nwi to her curly restoration to her proper
nUco In t'l" Linion. ' if tdie chooses to vote to
ftuy out, tlint in "' business; lint, if she is rendy
to conic in under u Constitution which
mmrimtoes "tlio ubsoluto protection of nil
citizens" of tlio United State "in the full
enjoyment of freedom und security," then she
should be allowed to do so forthwith. The
rsiuo is true likewise of Mississippi; thotiirli
the fact that lier people have, oneo voted down
the 'ending Constitution iiere somewhat com
plicates the problem, und might justify the
call of a ww Convention. In tlie Virginia case,
however, all is plain sailing. A Convention has
been held; u Constitution was franud by it; but,
though ready lor submission long ago, it has not
boon submitted. General (irant thinks that suli
Diission should no longer be delayed; and
therein ho is in full accord with public opinion,
lie suggests that it should be so ordered that
those who want to vote the State into solf-trov-ernment
under the Union may do so without
voting their owu or their neighbors' permanent
proscription; und herein lie talks sense, as
Usual. In short, a message so wise, ho just, so
timely, so pertinent, had uot emanated from the
White House for years prior to the appearaueo
tf this ono.
Will Congress heed the public voleo, so plainly
Vet bo courteously uttered by tho President?
YVc write before learning whataetion was taken;
yet wo trust that the majority will
irofor to keep abreast of public sentiment
rather than be driven by it. If tho only question
is one of time, the more important is it uot to
lag behind the march of events. Virginia is
certain to be reconstructed; she is to bo restored
to sclf-goveruuient and to representation in Con
gress; sue is ultimately to ue relieved 01 an pro
bcriptions uud dislraucliisemcnts; thou why uot
Bust on the good work to its inevitable "eon
Kinmation? Our oldest living poet exhorts
is, in view of death, to "go not like the galley
flavo at night, scourged to his dungeon;" and w o
ntreat the Republicans in Congress not to imi
tate, with regard to tho lute Rebels, their owu
Itupid bluuder iu resisting the enfranchisement
of the blacks until they have very nearly thrown
away their .chance of influencing and guiding
their political course. Ono such gigantic folly
ehould sulllce for a generation.
Tho country Is emphatically with the President.
It longs for peace and restoration and harmony.
It demands proper guarantees for the security
nnd equal rights of all law-abiding citizens: but
it prefers to hud them in constitutions and laws
rather than in Presidential edicts and military
orders. It believes that the present is a favor
able conjuncture for completing reconstruction
on the basis of universal amnesty and impartial
suffrage; and it prefers to take the risks of an
unknown, impenetrable future. It is quite aware
that thore aro still implacable rebels and invcte
tte wrongdoers nt the South; but it feels that
they can now be remitted to the discipline of a
Government of the whole people. Virginia is
certainly a less turbulent, more jaw-abiding com
munity than Arkansas, where Governor Clayton
has conquered a pence with no other force than
his volunteer militia, first organized for this pur
pose, aud where life, liberty, and property are
liow safer than before which is uot saying a
great dual. "We defy any one to give a reason for
denying self-government to Virginia which
would not be stronger if applied to Arkansas.
''Let us have peace." Military rule is at best
but an armed truce. It costs money, and does
not educate its subjects to respect justice more
than force. Four years have now passed since
the surrender of Appomattox, and he who dic
tated the terms of Lee's capitulation declares
that the time has fully come for restoring Vir
ginia to self-government and all its natural inci
dents. The country cordially, joyfully responds
to the President; will Congress "demur? To do
B will he to abdicate the proud position it lias
liithcrto maintained to full to the rear of the
grand movement for universal liberty and na
tional integrity. We pray that no adjournment
may be had until Virginia, Mississippi, aud even
Texas shall have been enabled and invited
to resume, under fit conditions aud with needful
guarantees, the proud position they so madly
abjured, f States, aud the peers of all other
JSUtcs, iu the American Union.
Approaching- Termination ot
the l'arauuiiytui War.
From the X. Y. Herald.
The news from Rio Janeiro states that u com
mission is en route for Paraguay with proposi
tions for the termination of the war. The main
features of the proposed treaty aro tho independence-
of Paraguay, free river navigation, aud
the renunciation of the Paraguayan claims to a
jortion of the Gran Chaco and Matto Grosso.
The Grrfn Chaco bounds Paraguay ou tlio w est
and Is a vast deseut uud disputed territory be
tween the Argentine Republic, Bolivia, and
Paraguay. Matto Grosso, a Brazilian province,
is only in dispute with reference to its southern
boiindary line. Brazil claims the lino of the
Ap and Paraguay claims the line of the Rio
lJlanen and Ybineima a strit) which includes
over twenty thousand square miles, or nearly
one-third of the Paraguayan territory, as hitherto
Conceded by all the best maps.
Thus tho allies terminate their great struggle.
To litis inglorious end conies t lie famous secret
treaty of Slay 1, 18ti5; and thus the views we
have always held that the objects of the war us
cxprcbscd iu that treaty would uevcr be accom
plished are confirmed. It has been our delight
occasionally to liauut this civilized treaty in the
face of this century; for it bears the impress of
Europeau monarchical manufacture a curious
Infringement upon the treaty for Mexican Inter
vention by England, Prance, and Spain. No
danger, however, of a suit for damages; for the
letters patent aro royal und monarchical, and the
Paraguayan war is waged in that interest. '
To quote the words of Mr. E. A. Hopkins, a
eelebrated American pioneer, whose single efforts
liave carried With them much of the destiny
of La Plata valley, "The Rio do la Plata
has been the focus of Europeuu intrigue
pineo 1807, and systematic effort has been made
to subject these countries to monarchical inllu
ences." How true this Is mav be proven by the
laot that after the date of their independence,
first the Brngauzas reclaimed the right to rule,
then Napoleou wanted Joseph to be King of
Spauish America. Tho empire overthrown,
France again offered to support the luke d'Or
leans, Prince do Lucci, and even Don Francisco
do Paulo, brother of Ferdinand VII, in nn Impe
rial effort. Upon tho failure of the Whitlock
F.uglish expedition against Buenos Ayres, Eng
land intrigued'with the King of Portugal, then
resident in Brazil, to create an independent
throue fo rDonu Carlota Joaquina or tor her
cousin Don Carlos. This lady; of tho
Spanish Bourbons was first tho wife of the
Prince Regent, and afterwards of the Infant
Don Pedro of Braganza. The Brazilian Court
entered heartily into the scheme. The whole of
the 1'ortuguese und Brazilian troubles with Uru-
?uay, which have finally culminated in the
'araguayan war, began through these complica
tions. It is too long a story to trace the cou
fclant intrigues of England, which have been a
fruitful source of troubles ou the Plata river
from that date to the present. It may be stated,
however, that British lnlluonco has never been
exercised there except for tho promotlou of
British interests. For a long time the Plata
vnllcr was tho scene of warlike aud diplomatic
tflorts on the part of England and France for
oiiimerclul supremacy, and even to-day the
commercial struggle continues, ulthougli iu a
more peaceable inauner.
The little republic of Uruguay was long since
tiuipk-toly prostrate. It hus beeu the buttle.
ground, first of Portngnl and Spin, in their I
ei.rlv contests in the ""few World, and then of
Frnncc, Kntrhind, Prn.ll. nnd the Argentine Re
public iu the ir ambition territorial, commercial,
uud inoimrt liicnl similes for the possession of
n vmIIcv In no wnv interior to the great basin of
the Mississippi. I'liragUHV, feeling that her turn
for the same, process of emasculation that bus
swept over I'ruguay was threatened, battle 1
boldlv against it. Entity or non 'iitity appears lo
be her war cry, nnd she dors well. She may bo
nil that spiritual, mental, nnd physical enslave
ment can make of a naturally docile and
obedient people; she may be governed by
ns bloody a despot ns ever disgraced
even the page of Argentine or riundii
Oriental history; but she defends a glorious
principle, which, however well it may be nnplicd
in Kuropc, ns iu the case of Poland, is foreign to
this continent. That principle is, no nation or
combination of nations have a right to dictate to
uny pciiplo what shall be their form of govern
ment. Kuropc tried such dictation in Mexico
nnd signally failed through the interference of
the United States. A similar attempt at dictation
is being tried in South America, and hitherto, to
our shame, we have quietly seen it progress in
the interests of Brazilian 'uud European impe
rialism. Hut while negotiations for peace are pending,
the Paraguayan despot makes bold front nnd
holds the Brazilian forces closely packed upon
the sands around his desolated and sacked cupi
tnl. The Brazilian Field Marshal has retreated
to Rio Janeiro in disgust. The leader of the
Argentine troops lias quitted his command and
gone to Buenos Ayres. The allied army is dis
pirited with the loss of half its number in the
late campaign; the cholera is iu their midst;
their countryman in Brazil and the Argentine
republic are ileeing to the interior to escape a
merciless conscription; discontent and recrimi
nations are met on all sides; tho army threa
tens to disband, that tho common soldiers mav
follow the commanders who have deserted their
posts. In addition, Lopez is ut tho head of five
thousand men. and, well fortified, awaits un allied
advance towards the interior; waits for them to
leave the cover of their iron-elads; waits for
them to fulfil article six of the allied treaty,
which says tlint "tho allies solemnly agree not
to lay down their nrms except by common cou
seut and until they overthrow tho actual Gov
ernment of Paraguay."

Nothing could be more admirable, in spirit
and temper, than General Grant's brief message
to Congress on reconstruction which we pub
lished on Thursday. It shows his earnest desire
to restore, at the earliest possible moment, peace
ful and harmonious relations to all sectious of
the Union, und to removo all the lingering re
sults of the late Rebellion; and instead of pro
voking controversy on the subject, cither as to
the end itself or the best means of attaining it, he
assumes that Congress is just as desirous of its
attainment ns he himself, and points to the peo
ple of the excluded States themselves as tho
proper parties to bring it about.
Ike President suggests that Congress provide
for submitting to the people of Virginia the Con
stitution framed by the Convention of 1808, and
for submitting anew to the people of Mississippi
the Constitution which they have once rejected.
If both these constitutions should be now
adopted, the basis would be laid for n practical
restoration of both these States to the Union. Of
Georgia tho President savs nothing, probnblv
because Congress is already engaged In discuss
ing its unmix.
General Grant assumes that Congress will
agree with hiin iu thinking that the States lately
in rcneiiion ought to ue restored
"At as early a period as the people of thnRc States
Blind be found willing to become peaceful uud orderly
communities, uud to adopt 11 ltd maintain sued consti
tutions and laws as will ell'ectunll.v secure the civil
and political rights of all persons within ttielr
borders. '
This would seem to be a basis of restoration at
once just and liberal, and we presume no party
will be found in Congress or out of it that will
make any opposition to it, in theory at all events.
It may not seem quite consistent with Mr. Phil
lips' assumption that "no reliance can be plaeed
on the present whito generation of the South,"
though even most reflecting men will concede
that it will do more towards making future
generations "reliable than the policy which Mr.
Phillips himself recommends. It certainly is
more closely iu accordance with tho civilized
nnd Christian spirit of the age, and witli the
principles and sentiments which lie at tho basis
of our institutions, thnu the iron policy by which
Peter ' the Great civilized Russia or" Cromwell
Christiaui.ed Ireland. And we are quite sure it
will commend itself much more strongly to the
approval of the American people.

From the X. Y. World.
We lately attempted to set forth the proper
attitude of our Government iu respect to the
Cuban insurrection. We presented the subject
in its simplest view, disentangled from compli
cations urising out of any injustice that might
be practised against our citizens, or tiny injuries
to our commerce, by the Spanish authorities.
With a simple insurrection we hud nothing to do
but to stand aloof und main tain our neutrality.
The practice of our Goverument in all such eases
has been uniform, and has been regulated by the
strictest principles of international comity. "The
doctrine on which it has always acted lias beeu
frequently stated in authoritative public docu
ments, and never perhaps with more per
spicuity than in tho proclamation of
Presideut Van Burcu warning our citizens
agauist aiding tlio rebelliou for "Patriot
W ar," as it wus called) In Canada, in tho winter
of 1837--8. ihu rebellion had many points of
similarity to the present insurrection in Cuba
J nut, iikc mis, was a rebellion in a colony; was
an effort to break the connection with the
mother Country and render the colony indepen
dent; was resisted iiy the local authorities; was
encouraged uud abetted by native insurgents
who came to the United States and attempted to
strengthen their cause by getting up demonstra
tions ol American puMic sentiment, nnd lawless
American expeditious in aid of the insurrection.
President Van Buren, iu the face of the most
active sympathy all along the frontier, thought
it bis duty to issue a proclamation, from which
we make the lollowing extract:
"It an insurrection existed iu I'umtdii, the amicable
dispositions of the I idled states towards Great llrl- '
tain, as well as their duty to themselves, would lead
tlieiu to liuiiutaiii u strict neutrality aud to restrain
their citizens from all violations of the laws which
have been pussed for its enforcement. Hut tills tJov
vernuient recognizes a still higher obligation to re
press all uttcmpts on the purl of its citizens to dis
turli the peace of a country where order prevails or
lias been re-estahlislied. 'Depredations by our citi
zens upon nations al peace with the United States,
or combinations for committing them, have ut all
times been regarded by the American Government
anil people with the greatest abliorencc. Military
incursions by our citizens into countries so situated,
uud the commission of acts of violence on the mem
bers thereof, in order to cti'eet a change in its govern
ment, or under any pretext whatever, have, from the
commencement- of our tlovernuieiit. been held
equally criminal on the pun of those engaged in them,
and as mm h deserving ol punishment us would be
the disturbance of the public peace bv the perpetra
tion of simil.tr uels within our own territory.
Our Government has never held any different
doctrine; aud we have selected this particular
expression of it, because the case to which it
was applied tallies so perfectly with the present.
So long us the Spanish authorities do not molest
or injure our citizens, we have no call to Inter
meddle in the dispute between them and their
insurgent subjects. If the Spanish authorities
are foolish or imprudent enough to trespass
against our rights, we ure bound to iulerpose for
protection and redress, and the redress must bo
suited to the nature of the wrong. The sending
of Admiral HolI to the Cuban waters uud the
accumulation of troops on tho Gulf, are, under
the circumstances, wise measures of precaution,
rendered necessary by un insolent and menacing
decree of Captain-General Dulce, Issued on the
SMth of March. We copy a translation of the ob
jectionable part of the decree as follows:
"In virtue of tlio extraordinary and discretionary
powers Invested in mu by the supremo government
of the nation I decree as "follows:
"'J he vessels tliut may be captured iu ftpunish waters

Spanish government mav Intliet. it is p iu ill v
tiuc that if innocent citizens are puni-hed, or
the guilty punished wid extreme atro.-itv, our
government cannot stand still (,nd tatuelv look
on. I be objections to this decree of the C:tp-lam-Gciieral
arc, first, that it exposes ImioccMil
citizens to be Minitiiarily shot at the mere ca
price of excited Spanish naval olllcers, without
any semblance of a trial; nnd secondly, that
con If guiitv. they arc threatened with puni-h-liuiit
for a different crime from that which tliev
have committed. Persons giving aid to the iii
Mirgcnts are not "pirates." It U an abuse of
language to calf them so, and nn
iibuso of ju-tlce to treat them as such.
Tho same epithet was applied by the
British government to the Americans who
aided the Canadian insurgents In tim "Puirint
tizens
I War;" but Mr. Webster, in his reply to the Brl-
usn .Minister, rciuousiratcu against sucu a mis
application of the word. "Tho undersigned."
he said, "does not ndiuit the propriety or the
justice of this designation. If citizens of tho
I mtcd Mates httcd out, or were engaged in fit
ting out, u military expedition from the United
States intended to net against the British Gov
ernment in Canada, they were clearly violating
ineiaws oi ineir own country, and exposing
themselves to the just consequences w hich might
oe iniiictca upon them, it taken within the Bri
tish dominions. But notwithstanding this, they
were certainly not pirates, nor does the under
signed think that it can advance the purpose of
lair una irieuuiy discussion so to denominate
them. I heir offense, whatever it was, had no
unnlogy to cases of piracy,
The Captain-General of Cuba has made a gruYC
mistake iu using this oltensivo word, aud threat
ening to summarily shoot as pirates men who
can lie called such only by a gross misapplica
tion or the term, and who, being put to death at
once without any trial, may bo iunoeent of uny
crime, lie needs to be very cautious how ho
carries out so barbarous a threat. Not ouly is
intrinsic justice against him, but the zeal, haste,
or indiscretion of lus olliccrs is liable to aggra
vate every wrong and set the United States fn a
flame. General Dulce ought not only to have
treated our national dignity with more conside
ration, out to have weighed with more care than
he seems to have done the character of our new
President a feeble statesman but an energetic
soldier, who would be glad of nn opportunity to
reawnkeu the. nagging admiration ot his coun
trymen by the vigorous prosecution of
a popular " war. The Captain-General could
perpetrate no greater blunder than by
giving him an opportunity to win
hew military laurels. In a war with Spain, we
should, of course, be the allies of the insurgents,
nnd Cuba would easily be wrenched from the
Spanish crown forever. The Captain-General
must uot make it impossible for moderate, pa
triotic Americans to raise their voices withetToet
in favor of non-intervention and the strict ob
servance of our neutral obligations. Perhaps
he will not deem it inconsistent with his dignity
to withdraw lus ill-judged decree; but lie should
lose no time in giving such instructions to his
olliccrs ns will prevent its execution iu the spirit
in which it is conceived. His prompt compli
ance with the request of Admiral HofI for the free
withdrawn! of American citizens from the island,
looks as if lie appreciated the importance of
treating us with consideration. It is to be hoped,
in the interest of pence, that he will permit no
greater severity against abettors ot tlio insur
gents than may be necessary for foiling their
designs.
v e have no complaint to make ol the prompt
precautionary step taken bv President Grunt;
and so long as lie conlines his measures to the
simple protection ot American citizens, enforc
ing their obligations of neutrality as well us de
fending their rights, he win be cordially sup
ported bv thinking men ol both political par
ties: but lie must not turn nuntiicr ior me sukc
of getting up n new war; and so long as tho
Cubau authorities do not intliet any wrongs
upon our citizens. General Grant must not inter-
lere between them and tne insurgents, n is ins
dear dutv to lircvent lllibustering expeditions
Iroiu being lilted out, iu our pons or leaving our
shores: and if a few should escape Iu spite ot
reasonable vigilance, he owes thciu no proiec
tion in case of their capture, if they receive only
such severity as iseustomarily practised in simi
lar cuses.
The Oii in Spain.
From the X. Y. Times.
There seems to be less prospect than ever of u
satisfactory settlement of affairs iu Spain. Dom
Ferdinand of Portugal, ns might have been ex
pected, refused to entertain tho oiler of the
crown made hiinlbv the Provisional Government,
and we now hear of tho probuble resignation of
Murshul Serrano and Admiral Topete. This
amounts virtually to u thorough break-up of the
Provisional Government, and the executive power
Is now to be Intrusted to ue a directory.
Tuerc are some strange influences ut work in
Spanish affairs which are not patent to the out
side world. It is not eusy to reconcile the action
of the Provisional Government from the first
with the existence of a sincere and disinterested
desire on the part of its members for the welfare
of the country, and there is too much reason to
fear that its dissolution will oulv lead to further
complications. There will be more parties than
ever, each one working aud intriguing for its
own selfish ends, and there will be still less
chance of establishing a permanent form of gov
ernment iu a peucenoie ana constitutional man
ner. We fear there is no chance of tranquillity
ior spam until mc people take mutters into their
own hands, mat decide upon all the uucstions
before them without the intervention of ambi
tious soldiers or intriguing adventurers.
