However aotire aod rlgorons may be Presi dent Grant's private tjiupatklea iu behalf of the Cuban luurft., aud however deslron be may be, on personal grounds, of a war with Bpaln, he la not ht liberty, in this case , to hi individual impulses. He is pabllo offlwr of the United States ,arorn to " take care that the law b. faithfully exeouted.' The neutrality lawa may be very dUtaataful in him- but they are nevertheless laws, and he ild ns'in Ms iniaral that he would e onte all laws, whether he personally approved Stem or not, thinking that the aurest way to make a bad law odious and secure its repeal Is by Ha strict enforosment. lie has now a pood opportunity to pat this dootrine of his ta praotioe, If, aa is supposed, he dislikes the neutrality laws. . The reasons for supposing that uanerai Grant's animut in this Cuban disturbance is not paoifio, are various. In the first plaoe, it Is known, on credible testimony, that he was strongly In favor of marching into Mexico and driving out Maximilian immediately on the close of our oivil war a faot that is very sig nificant of the tone and temper of his mind. In the next plaoe, his strengthening our naval and military forces on the Gulf for the pro tection of our citizens, without at the same time taking any steps for the suppression of expeditions from this country to aid the in surgents, is a dear Indtoatton that his feelings are not neutral, but strongly biassed in favor of Cuban Independence. In the third plaoe, he Is a soldier, who won all the popularity he ever possessed by hia military successes; and a war with Spain is the readiest method of recupe rating nis waning credit. In the fourth plaoe, he la notorloubly ignorant both of oar own laws and the laws of nations, and cannot be very deeply impressed with a sense of neutral duties. It seems, therefore, the duty of the press to do what it can to enlighten his mind, and call his attention to the obligations whioh rest upon him in the present conjuncture. The country does not want war; bat we fear the new President is managing in such a way that we may drift into a war with Spain with out any justifiable cause. The ostensible purpose of concentrating a force In the Golf ii the protection of American citizens; a laudable object whenever their rights are endangered, and perhaps Impera tive necessity slnoe the late offensive deoree of the Captain-General of Cuba. But the Presi dent of the United States Is bonnd to oonslder the duties of this oountry, as well as Its rights; especially in a case like the present, where the exposure of our citizens to danger is the dlreot oonsequenoe of their attempts to violate our laws, buloe threatens to shoot as pirates all persons caught bearing aid to the insur- Sents. President Grant thereupon Immediately icreases our naval foroe In the Cuban waters, apparently to prevent or avenge the exeoation of this threat. It was proper for him to do this, but not this alone. If oar neutrality laws were faithfully executed, there would be no body In whom this Government Is Interested for the threatened severity toaot upon. It Is quite as important that oar citizens should not oommlt a crime which oar own laws condemn and punish, as that they should be proteoted from , excessive penalties at the hands of an injured foreign Government. Our Government should not be less solicitous to discharge Its duties than to maintain its dignity and rights. How happens it that the Cuban waters are Infested with the kind of offenders against whom the Captain-General launches his barbarous de oree f It Is owing to the violation of a law whioh the President of the United States is solemnly sworn to enforce. There Is danger that his exhibition ot vigor to shelter these criminals from undue harshness will be con Btrued by them as a token of his favor and enoouracement, unless It is aooompanled by an equal exhibition of vigor for the repression of their unlawful enterprises. We will quote a single section of the stringent neutrality law of 1818: "If any person shall, within tho territory or Juris diction of the United States, bcirin or set on foot, or provide or prepare the means for, any military expe dition or enterprise, to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominions of any foreign prince or State, or of any colony, district or people, with whom the United States are at pence, every persou so offending shall be deemed irutlty of a high misdemeanor, and shall be lined not exceeding three thousand dollars and Imprisoned not more tUuu three years." Now. what are the annroprlate and cus tomary means of enforolng a law of this ohar- . aoter f The precedents on this subject are so numerous and so uniform in their charac ter, aa to snare President Grant any neoesaity for thinking out the subjeot ftfr himself, if be will onlv be at the pains to learn what has been done by his predecessors on similar occa sions. No President before General Grant has stood back and left things to take their coarse, when ant eitizens were exposed to the allure ments of a strong temptation to violate the neutrality laws. President Washington issued a proclamation of neutrality at the outbreak of the war between England and France In the ' French Revolution; President Van Buren at the time of the "Patriot War" In Canada; President Fillmore at the time of the Lopez expedition against Cuba. Mr. Webster was Secretary of State at the time of the last, and probably wrote the proclamation. The necessity of snob. proclamations rests upon reasons of humanity as well as upon the duty of exeouting the laws. The enthusiastic warm-blooded citizens who em bark In such enterprises are generally iguo rant ot the laws, and are often hurried uult tinfflr into orlme by their generous impulses, It U the duty of the Government to enlighten their ignorance, to warn inem against violat ing the laws of their oountry, and, If possible. save them from penal consequences. Another method of repression which former Presidents Lave thou cb.t it their duty to adopt In like olr- oumstanoes, is to issue epeolal instructions to the district attorneys, marshals, and collectors of oustoms, to exert the most aotive vigllanoe for the deteotlon, prevention, and punishment of these unlawful enterprises, it was in oon sequenoe of suoh instraotlons that Governor Quitman, of Mississippi, was arrested and tried for abetting the Lopez expedition against Cuba, and resigned his offioe In order that the dignity of the State might not suffer by his trial as a orlmlnaL How, why is it that General Grant, while bowing a praiseworthy leal for the protec tion of our citizens in the Gulf, has adopted pone of the usual precautions for preventing their exposure to the juit penalties of our own laws and the threatened atrooitlea of the Captain-General of Cuba f Does he mean to treat the neutrality laws as a dead letter f If not, by what peculiar and unprecedented methods does be propose to exeoute them f He Is precluded from saying that the oooaslon has not ret become grave enough for a resort to the ordinary precautions. When it Is ne eessarr to make a formidable naval and mlll Ury demonstration to shelter transgressors of the neutrality laws from theexoesslve severity of a foreign government, one would think it wm high tixa that the wort warned, against the conr-qnences of snob tranpgresslons. A I matters now stand, with rights vigorously In- I slated on and duti- utterly neglected tt looks too niuoh if the l'reien wiiuug un .American citizens should run their heads into the lion's moutb, In order that he may have the credit of their rescue at the expense of a war with Pp&lo. 9 4'ulmit 41ilini3tn;n. fYow the If. V. 7V'w. Given, as a et of popular insurrection, a long, narrow island, with unhealthy ooaMand aVakbone ofmonutaiu fastnesses, with thou sands of situations admirably adapted to an Isolated defensive warfare, but without ready nieans of communication through a territory which, though not so large as New York, pre sents distances between Its leading oitles greater than from tide water to Chicago; given a population ill-armed and too scattered for a close organization, but generally in sym pathy with the insurgents; a power three thousand miles away, itself in the later stages of a revolution, with few troops and less money, straining Its resources aud i s credit to the utmost iu the effort to reduce this island to subjection; the Government foroes nnaooll mated, 111 fitted for aotive operations, and comparatively Ignorant of the oountry, the insm gents hardy, familiar with the regions throngh which they move, and exempt from the teirors whioh the approaobing unhealthy season brings to new-oomera. With such conditions, what features would a campaign be likely to exhibit f The problem does not seem one of remarkable difficulty; the journals whioh complain so vehemently of the ooiifusion in the Cuban news might almost, in Emersjnian style, evolve its eolation from their own consciousness. There oould be no great battles, because there are no great armle?, and no means of r apid concentration. There could be even no effective cooperation. Each little band, having its own stretch of country on which to forage, and its own easy line of retreat to the moan tains, would make a little campaign of its own. The insurgents of to-day would, on oooaslon, sink Into the peaceful planters of to-morrow. The country would be turbulent, outbreaks would be frequent, property and lite would be unsafe, but the insurrection itself would be hard to fix. There would be many attacks on isolated outposts, many devices to harass the garri sons, every effort to wear oat the enemy and prolong the strnggle; bat there would be few attempts to hold large towns or extensive traots of the oountry. Operating in this way, the insurgents would have nothing to defend; they would be free to embrace every oppor tunity for attack; and their movements would compel the enemy to waste his re sources in keeping up a number of posts, and leave mm no troops to take the field. Thus the contest would be prolonged; the financial distress of the mother oountry would be lnoreased; the army of the enemy would be gradually weakened; and, as the hot season ap proached, would come at last the Cuban oppor tunity. Meanwhile the whole field of the strag gle would be covered by a mist of exaggeration and uncertainty, in the absenoe of great en gagements, there would be multitudinous ao- ooants of small ones, which we might be sure would lose nothing in their proportions at the hands of the grandiloquent Spanish reporters. The day when the skirmishes in West Vir ginia were pronounoed tne campaign of a second Napoleon is not yet so remete that we need to express very muoh wonder at the imposing display in the bulletins of other Eeople s wars, we snouia quite naiurauy ave casual rifle shots reported as heavy bombardments; little gatherings of half-armed guerrillas masquerading in the newspapers as heavy columns oi insurgents; marcues irom a camp when the forsge was exhausted to another that offered a better supply appearing as stragetio movements of the gravest and most mysterious import; while eaob, little affray that actually oooarred might very well be expected to assume the proportions of a terrifio contest, in whioh the Bide that told the Btory gained a brilliant viotory, with a loss of none Kiiiea ana two or mree aisaoiea, mougu the field was Btrown with the corpses of the enemy, and no hospitals oonld be found to accommodate their wounaea. uaiore our armies were consolidated and oar raw troops taught war, we went through all this our selves; we migui now ne aoie, wunoat nay great stretch of the Imagination, to oonoeive how at least a similar experience migui neiau the Cubans. Wo have been treated of late to a great manv sneers at the Cuban insurrection. That the readr organs of the slave power, while it lasted, and of the bogus Demooracy which now inherits its vices without its virtues, should make haste to oppose any struggle for liberty anywhere, was to be expeoted. is at that Journals whioh sympathized with the eilort oi fcicain to secure popular government for herself should sympathize, alse, with her effort to deny it to her rlohest and most im portant possession, is inexplicable, wnen these seek, therefore, to make light of the struggle in progress on our neighboring island, we are foroed to believe that they cannot have sufficiently considered the conditions under which it is made. We have bad no reason to expeot great battles thus far, and there oer tainly have been none. We have had no reason to expeot even a fully organized Insur rectionary army, and there is none; no reason to look for the capture of important towns, or for any effort, save to nurse the flame of hostility to the Spaniard, and pro long the revolt into the unhealthy summer montbs. it is too soon yet to pronounoe tne Insurrection a success; but it is not too soon to svy that these aims have been attained and that, with them attained, the prospeot for Cuban independence was never brighter than now. Our I'Cgutlon iu Spaiu. From the N. Y. Time. Hon. John P. Hale, our Minister at Madrid, Borne time since wrote to a New Hampshire member of Congress, begging him to seoure his retention in offioe not mainly because he wanted the offioe, but beoanse he wanted to triumph over Mr. U. J. Perry, his Seora tary of Legation, and Secretary Seward, both of whom had proved themselves, onioiauy and personally, his enemies. The letter was forthwith published. Mr. Fogg, formerly our Minister in Switzerland, and more reoently United States Senator from New Hampshire, feeling the honor of his State Involved In Mr. Hale's person, forthwith rushed to the resoue, and wrote another letter, eohoing his requests for retention, and re pealing Lis slanders on Messrs. Perry and Seward, which was also forthwith given to tbe public The quarrel between Dale and Perry, how ever, Is of somewhat ancient date, and the State Department at Washington abounds In doonments touching Its origin, progress, and leading features. Some of these papers have been published, and will be carefully perused, we trust, by Mr. Fogg and the other New Hampshire gentlemen who oonslder Mr. Hale's personal and official honor identloal with that of their common State. After they have given the subjeot a oarefal study, we shall be glad to hear from them farther as to what they think about It. It seems that as long ago as in the spring of 1867 the Spanish Government mads formal complaint, through our 8oretary of Watloo, tbatonr Minister, Mr. Ula, had been la thi Iiaiut ui nuiuKKimg good iniO Spain UUdrtr oover of his diploinatio privilege, for the profit I arid advantage of a 8 punish o immerolal home, ana 01 receiving regular payment at the hands of that house for the tax of whioh the Gov ernment was thus defrauded. Fall proof of these transactions were at the same time far Dished, and it was shown that Mr. Uale had kept, with the commercial house oonoerued, a regular account current of the profit aud loss of this dicgraoeful triffli. In oouAequeno of the desire of tb Spaulsb. Government not to give a nseleps notoriety to tb transaction, our Secretary, Mr. Perry, contented himself with reporting the matter in due c.iurse to the Government at Washington, and with iu forming Mr. Hale of the aotion taken by the Spanish authorities. Mr. lUle, on the con trary, seems to have thereupon oommeuoed that personal warfare npon Mr. Perry snd hts family whioh he has oontlnued with so muoh assiduity down to the present time one of his most recent official communications biiog a desoription of the personal appearanoe, age, dress, and general demeanor of .Mrs. Perry. Why he was left in office by Beoretary Seward for so long a time after his official mlsoonduot bad been officially brought to the notioe of our Government, we find it difficult to under stand, lie returned this forbearance, as might have been expeoted, by the coarsest and most mendaoious abuse of the official from whom he had reoelved It. We see it stated that the dispute Is to be settled by the removal of both Mr. Hale and Mr. Perry. We fall to see either justioe or good sense in snob, a disposition of the case. If both parties were equally In fault, or If bothy prrtles being in fault, It were difficult to deolde whioh had been most to blame, the case would bear a different aspeot. But It is not so. Mr. Hale is shown to have degraded his official position, insulted the oountry to whioh he is aooredited and dis graced the nation he represents, by carrying on the business of a smuggler under oover of his diplomatic charaoter. A grosser or less exousable offense it is not easy to imagine. Mr. Perry has been guilty of nothing, is not even aooused of anything, and is univer sally conceded to bave performed the duties of hia office with ability, dignity, and suooess He has bad the entire respeot at all times of. the Government to whioh he was accredited. and of the people among whom he lives. We see no reason why he should be removed from office, or why ho should reoelve anything but approval ana applause at the bands of the Government he has served. Senator Sprague's Last Spread. From Vie X. Y. Uerald. Senator Sprague of Rhode Island has again eieotnnea tne benate and tne oountry with another of his pungent, stirring, and char acteristic 1p3ecb.es. His theme, like its pioneer enort, was the deplorable condition of the oonntry, taking the whisky and tobaooo tax aa the text upon whioh to hinge his sparkling effusion. Although on reading his speech It Is at times a little difficult to discern what he is exaotly driving at, yet It mast be remembered that one of England's most remarkable men, Horace Walpole, was noted for occasional obscurity and ambiguity while giving utteranoe to noble thoughts. Senator Sprague is the vvaipoie or the American senate. Like Wal- pole, be rarely addresses the Senate, but when he does be stirs up the old fogies amaslngly. As was said of Walpole. so we may remark of Sprague his life is devoted to the gratification of a fastidious and whlmsloal taste, and In a measure to retailing and recording the politi cal gossip and fashionable soandal ot the day. Furthermore, and in continuation of this an alogy, Sprague, like Walpole, is plaoed in oomfortable circumstances so far as worldly possessions are oonoerned; Has a taste for pio tures. prints, books, manuscripts, relics of an tiquity, objeots of vertu and a thousand odds and ends; in brier, be is a sort 01 gauierer-np of unconsidered trifles, with whioh he amuses himself and edifies his friends. Moreover, Sprague, like Walpole, to continue the figure, is famous for his letters, the style being sin gularly easy and appropriate take, lor exam ple, tne brusque note addressed lately Dy Dir. Sprague to tbe editor of a unoae isiana paper; and as was said of Walpole. so 11 may ds re peated of SDraeue: "the most eooentrlo, the most artinolal. tbe most lastidious, tne moBi osprloious of men," he Is, nevertheless, j ast tbe man for the times for the united states Senate as at present constituted. He startles tbe old dry bones of that body with a sudden shook that a telegraph operator sometimes feels while manipulating his instrument during a thunder storm. If he does not make them howl he makes them laugh, whioh is evidenoe that at any rate he enlists their attention a merit that Garrett Davis' long-winded haran- Brnes nnon blown-no tonlos cannot boast of. There fs one thing, however, deoldedly trans lucent in Senator S Prague's last spread he deolares that he has not bought the National Intelligencer. Here be shows wisdom. There is no indication of vacillation, no exhibition of Imbecility of mind, so far as that operation is concerned. And while his colleague, Senator Anthony, attempts to put a rosy and facetious glow npon Senator Bprague's stunning orato rical effort on Thursday last, by pronouncing bim, with more truth than jest, a leader of finance, in the same breath in whioh he char acterizes Colorado Jewett as a diplomat and ueorge Francis Train as a general statesman, bprague himself subsides amid the ap proving smiles of a galaxy of fash ionably attired ladies in the Senate gal leries, Sprague does not like Anthony. Neither do we. Ant holy is envious of the advancing celebrity of his gamecock colleague. Hence Anthony's wings are likely to be clipped in the little bantam State of Rhode Island, and Sprague will crow loader than ever. Sprague is useful in tbe Senate. The eighteen-year settlers in that body are growing mouldy like old cheese. They are getting tough and oorrnpt. ibeir Indian puddings, famous New England Is for maklDg them, are bad jobs. They require ventilation, and Senator bprague is Inst the man, with bis pluok, brains, and cash, to give them an airing. He can afford to speak out. He wants no offioe. His ambition is to save his oountry. Go on, Senator Sprsgue the Walpole of the Ameri can senate you are aeveioping a splendid mine of intellectual wealth, and every patriot in the land will wish you uod-spsed la your sublime efforts to reform the corruptions and abuses that have orept into the high plaoes In our political tabernaole.
