BDfTORIAl OPIHIOHS OP TBI L1ADIRO JOURNALS CPOK CURRENT TOPICS OOMPILBD XTBBT DAT FOB TBR BVSHIHO TBLIORAPH. GENERAL SICKLES. ymm the X. Y. Tribune. We simply call attHntirtn to the Washington despatches in some of onr contemporaries In refereaoe to the relations of General Siokles towards the PresidrDt, and den? upon autho rity the statement that there has been any mlsnnder8tandiD(f.' AU the Interviews be tween General Flukles aod President Grant tare been especially friendly and oordial. We understand tnat the President took an early oocaslon, aftr his inauguration, to ten der to General Sickles various publio employ ments. He wad offered a command in one of the Southern States, which he deolined; and the mission to Mextoo, which, for domestio reasons, he was compelled also to deolioe. lie was asked to aocept the mission to Spain. The President has recognized in General Sickles a man of more than ordinary gifts, with a brilliant reoord during the war, and 8elf-sacrifioing in his devotion to the Republi can party. Few men have been so strongly tempted. When President Johnson meditated bis defection from the party which made him President, General Sickles was among the men he especially sought to seduoe. lie named him to a prominent foreign mission. lie tendered him the Colleotorship of the Port of New York, and we believe it was understood that he might have suooeeded Mr. Stanton as Secre tary of War. He was sent into the Carolinas at a critioal time in the work of reoonstruotloH. If he bad oarried out the spirit ef Mr. John son's policy he might have paralyzed the loyal element in those States, and delayed, if not destroyed, their rehabilitation. No General was more patient, earnest, and liberal In hit policy both towards the blaoka and the whites. While with one hand he seoured freedom to the oppressed, with the other he showed justice and magnanimity to the dominant Rebel party. Ills administra tion was brilliant and successful. lie brought the Carolinas into proper relations with the Government. No States have been more thor oughly reconstructed. Ue was strioken down on the eve of the completion of the work, be cause he refused to obey the mandates of the President. Coming baok to the Northern States, he gave his time and intellect to the consolidation of the Republican party, on the basis of universal suffrage, and especially td the nomination of General Grant as the candi date of that party. He was among the ear liest supporters of General Grant for the Presiden tial nomination. Beoause of this reoord, General Siokles is sow made a target for the virulent abuse of the enemies of freedom. lie leaves the army; he takes no publio office; he returns to civil life. Those who attacked him when he was a leader in the party of justice, now attack him as a private citizen. We regret to lose his counsels and his efforts at this time. There are few men so gifted now in publio employ ment. The assaults made upon him will be regarded by his fellow-countrymen as the idle wind which passes by. General Siokles be longs to history. The nation which he has served so well will surround him in his re tirement with its confidence and its support. SPANISH OUTRAGES ON THE AMERICAN FLAG. i-Voro the X. Y. Herald. We can find but one explanation for the notoriously unwarranted proceedings of the Spanish cruisers in the neighboring waters of the island of Cuba. The seizure of the Amerioan brig Mary Lowell, while lying at Bagged Island in charge of the English cus toms officers; the landing of an armed foroe on the Uritisn territory of stirrup Key in pursuit of the crew of the steamer Comandi tario; the capture of the British sohoouer Jeff Davis while at sea, and the shooting of two of her passengers; the seizing of two passen gers on board the Amerioan schooner Lizzie Major, while many leagues from shore, and taking them as prisoners to Caibarien, per haps to be executed without trial; and the final deoision of the Spanish Admiralty Court in Havanathat the brig Mary Lowell is a legal prize, are all such flagrant violations of the law of nations that they can have but one in terpretation, and that is that they are parts of a meditated design, the object of which has not been made apparent. The Spanish naval offioers are, in general, well-eduoated men, and are far from being so ignorant of military and naval law as the commission of these acta would seem to indi cate. But even if those holding subordinate grades are sot versed In international law, their superior offioers are not only well read and apt in the use of its dusty tomes, but in the organization of the military and naval bureaus in Cuba ample provision is made for the constant intervention of competent legal skill in their proceedings. The plea of igno rance is therefore Inadmissible, and some other reason for these flagrant outrages must be found. To our mind thia exists in the oonvlotion on the part of the Spanish autho rities that . they are incompetent to put down the existing revolution in Cuba, and that the best solution for their difficulties is to so com plicate the matter with neighboring powers ' as to bring forolble intervention, and thus ave the honor of Spain. It would be dis honor to be whipped by Cuba unaided; but to give up Cuba under a oomplioated pressure from the United States and England would not lnour that stigma, and would leave open the claim for remuneration, as intimated re cently by our Madrid correspondent. But whatever may be the motive of the Spanish offioers in committing these outrages, the safety and integrity of the Amerioan flag upon the high seas and In' the ports of a friendly nation must be secured. Mr. Fish may entertain grave fears that a course of proper self-respect on our part will involve us la unpleasant relations with Jsagland, Franoe. and Spain; but the American people entertain no such tremors. They, on the other hand. have pretty thorough oonvlotion that it is f time our Government did something effeotive towards making the Stars and Stripes a safe flag upon the ocean, as it was in the days of yore, no principles 01 maritime taw are more clear or more universally admitted than that of the national jurisdiction extending to the distance of one marine league from the shore, and that when a ship is at sea beyond the marine league from shore she forms a part of the territory of the nation whose fl as she bears, These undoubted principles of maritime law cover all the oases we have olted above, and leave so doubt aa to the course that should be mnmtiad. Action: and not discussion, is the only safe onnru for President Grant and his admlnis tratlos. Admiral Porter will give him much better advice than Mr. Hamilton Fish, with ki. admitted fears: and as the facts of the case of the Mary Lowell have been already 5 laced before the Government, we iook lor no tilay. She Is an Amerioan vessel, was seized in Kritish waters, bad sot been near Cuba, and there ean be no possible claim that she ia .n.iat to 8 Danish lorlfldiotioD. Events drnr on the administration of Gene ..i rir.nt mud Le mnst meet them with vigor - leaver helmed. Br all means let these questions be submitted for negotiation to the I jJSlaT. Department, and let Admiral Porter I be directed to elve the reasons 11 ney are wanted. , CANADA'S CHAGRIN. fYntn the X. Y. World. The annexation of Canada is discussed with snoh earnestness by the radical press in the United States that the Canadians, If they were of a less pblfgmatio turn, might well begin to shiver in their shoes. Whatever may be the secret oonvictions of intelligent Canadians in regard to the policy of the proposed mea sure, there can be no doubt that the preju dices of the Canadian people are very strongly against it. The Toronto Leader, speaking in behalf of this prejudice alone, affects to deride the annexation talk on both sides of the bor der: "Not the ravings of a silly New Bruns wicker, nor the unnatural excitement of the Nova Sootians, nor any number of annexation letters or dubious editorials," says the Leader, "are true indices of an annexation feeling in Canada. There is no suoh feeling. An odd person here and there may be fool enough to piate it. But the heart of the country is sternly opposed to it. It loves monarchical institutions; it venerates the mother country." All which It ads us to infer that Canada is rather alarmed and stirred np by this subjeot already as, indeed, she may be when she duly considers her unfortunate dependence upon the mother oonntry, and the faot that the United States Government, as adminis tered by an ambitious military President, is currently reported to intend to accept or snatch the sew Dominion as a moderate off set to the Alabama olaims. President Grant's acquisitive propensities were shadowed forth in the World's Washington correspondence some days ago; and the tone of radical jour nals like the Tribune, Herald, Times, Phila delphia Inquirer, and Cincinnati Commercial, indioates that those propensities are not alto gether unpopular. Under the ciroumstanoes, the best recommendations we can offer to the Canadian press is that it devote itself, not to vain protests against a destiny which it might be impossible to avert, but to an immediate, systematic "oryhg up" of the value of that territory as a dwelling-place for good Ameri cans. By this means the newspapers of the period in the New Dominion will obtain far more subscribers, and the land-owners of the period many more shekels for aores, when annexation is a faot and the hordes of New England shall pour across the border, than iney otherwise win. THE HAYT1EN PROJECT AND ITS IN FLUENCE. Frmn the X. Y. Time. Although with the adjournment of Congress the Haytien projeot, in its triple guise of pro teottOD, purchase, and annexation, came to an end, yet so did not, probably, its insidious influence. We shall almost certainly see it again next December; for familiarity with a proposition, however odious, often paves the way to success, especially if the right sort of details are made manifest and the right sort concealed. It is in politios, sometimes, as In the poet's line.'we first "endure, then pity.then embrace;" and it is something of a triumph for the ban uomingo projeot that we have been able to "endure." Of course we do not mean to assert that in politics, as in physios, the axiom that "action and reaotion are equal and in opposite direc tions," is mathematioally true; on the con trary, we hardly believe any "reaotion" next year regarding the Banks projeot will induce Columbia to embrace as her children the sons ef llayti and daughters of Domingo. Still, the rebuff of the last session will not insure the abandonment of the misohlevous projeot, whioh is more likely to be held in abey ance till something favorable "turns up." Now, exaotly how muoh humbug there is in the Hsyti business, and how muoh swindle in the St. Domingo, it is hard to say. We ouly know that it has been pressed unblushiogly, despite universal popular disapproval; and we know that the very presentation of suoh pro jects injureB our credit and good repute in the eyes of the world. It is with reason that the London Times declares that "it is through suoh disoussions in the House as that on the protectorate of Haytl and St. Domingo that the Amerioan character is misapprehended;" and it is a truth whioh we feel quite as keenly as do transatlantic observers, that "the sound conclusions of the majority are soaroely able to efface the memory of the wild theories that are broached, and apparently received with reepeot until the final decision is ex pressed." The truth is and it is a very annoying and shameful one that the lobbies of the national Legislature have come to be the resort of all classes of foreign as well as native sohemers. Baez, for example, takes it for granted that by adroit management he can foist off San Do mingo upon us, and U not that, then at least Sam ana, in order to replenish his exhausted treasury, aud thereby maintain some time longer his insecure Beat. That the protecto rate proposition Is overwhelmingly defeated, that the purchase projeot is not even ventured, that the annexation resolution is sot suffered to come to a vote, are facts whioh do not de stroy the bad moral influenoe exhaled by the very reception and discussion of suoh sohemes n the House. TAILS AND TIN-CANS. Frrmt the X. Y, Work). An Assinlboine squaw is probably inoapable of eradicating from her soul a hankering after the heavy ear-rings whioh make her hideous, and her master is nearer to striking the stars ith his lofty head when in war-paint aud feathers than Horaoe felt after eating the dinners and singing the praises of Mieoenaa. But, any week in the year, a prooesslon through the streets of New York will avouch to the noting mind the presence of the same passions in the oivinzed as in the savage soul. It ia the deooratlons as well as the duties of the members of our clvlo charitable societies which bind them together in the dusty streets, and fix the envious gaze of the crowd upon the walks. Nor need we complain If "soldier-olothes" are capable to increase a nation's martial ardor and add a peroentlble glow to the patriotic fire whioh burns in free men's breasts and guards their laws, their dominions, and their liberties. "Some pork will bile so," was the oommentary of a rustio Solon upon a singular exhibition of nature's law. Some men are made so, is all that can be said in view of these exhibitions of a nature so unman as 10 be almost universal. Doubtless, in squaw's ear is prettier un punohed, , its cartilage not stretched to the shoulder; but to be lovelier iu her own aud her lever's eyes, she punches and stretches thus the appendage to her tympanum. Doubtless the duskiest skin, like beauty itself, when unadorned is then adorned the most; but the warrior puts his war-paint and his feathers on, and does his duty better. Doubtless, sashes and bullion-fringe contri bute nothing of their essenoe to the sweetness of human charity; yet these are often insepa rable. Doubtless, buttons and epaulettes aud red coats are as earthly in their substance as the soul of their wearer is ethereal; yet but tons embellish military glory, and glory sheds back upon buttons something of its own heavenly lustre. It is ouly by the assistance of comparisons like these that one can ooruprehend the laaatl- able greed of some men among us who enjoy real power, to be posse iced of the symbols of nomiouB eminenott. Here is Mr. Greeley, the orea'or f that party which has been thrice snoumisfal in oar national elections, aud lUe euiuoiptor of the formei us, preserved oar national unity behold him still as auxions for the "ear rings" Of beauty aud fin "hntions" of pownr as when he disuld psriut-rsalp with the official wbom be ould umave, whom he La destroyed, but whom he uuld tieVer per suade to offer him pirn- ur adoration. That Mr. Greeley never his tth end epau lettes is not lb pirn.',, bin that h sighs for them. Could iwet.iv Snnatom by their votes do as much as he (v th t ribune to msk or mar a treaty on th Alahtnta claims T Cer tainly not; yet ree him haukertng after the gilded saloons of royalty, the dress-sword and the knee-bieeohe of diplomacy, and offeriag to muzzle the Tribune and take his orders blacks, wnose valor, m tie na lilmsBit in- from the Secretary of State, for the sake of quenching that insane thirst of a soul thus shown to be not aHove buttons. Here is Mr. Dana, whose achievements in gymnastics are only paralleled by his ex ploits in literature. Not sufficient to him, however, is it that he has fastened his head upon an encyclopedic enterprise aud his legs upon a bioyolio invention. The buttons of the mandarins will not suffer him to sleep, and be solioits from successive administra tions the lioueoiorsnip 01 the fort as some thing which will raise him in his own esteem or in that of his fellow-men. Denied the Col leotorship to aohieve so trifling an eminence as that or an omoiai "appraiser," be Is wil ling to sacrifice not merely Mr. Roberts' aspi rations te bo Secretary of the Navy and Mr. Conkling's to be Lieutenant-General of the Army of the United States, but, what is of deeper moment, the ambition of his own friend and former chief the teaoher who formed his nascent mind to say nothing of what can alone console his dying hour when bullion shall have lost its gilt and but tons their shine, his true and nobler purpose to be the poet 01 gymnastics and the velocl- pedist of poetry. It is not to Mr. Dana's fail ure, which his attaoks oa Johnson as now on Grant have betrayed, and whioh no "ap praised" praise of Grant can sow oonoeal, that we oall attention for what is worse than the curse of a graated prayer? but to the faot that thus he prays to be endued with the shirt, ay I with the undershirt, of impotence, provided only that he may make ostentation of the buttons et power. Here, again, is Mr. Parke Godwin, the au thor of a history of Franoe which will be pe rused by the descendants of Napoleon when the White House is the ooal-hole of an empe ror, whose failure to be sent to Spain inoites from the I'ost such dissertations oa the need of virtue in the Navy Agenoy whioh a Hender son once profited by, and of oapacity in the mission to Spain which John P. Hale has made merchandise of, as must draw tears from the eye of every reader, and curses from the lips of those whose eye, like Grant's, are quite unused to weep; here Is Mr. Godwin en joying his life and perfecting hie immortality in Paris, yet thought to be, by his intimate associates, willing to make the one a burden and the other a problem for the sake of pass ing "three months of winter and nine months of hell" in Madrid. That neither places of prom nor or prominence are able to be ex torted by thefW from General Grant is not the point, but that it should Beek to be a furbished and a painted post instead of a landmark whioh men drifting hither and thither might feel that it would do to tie to. Besides the dogs which liave had the mis fortune to have tin-oans tied to their tails, we never heard that there was a superior breed whioh , sought the opportunity but declined the ornament. But man is the paragon of animals; and, though your Ureeleys and your Danes go about ululating for the oana whioh are seldom tied, the species is adorned with a Bennett, whose pride it was, when four years ago the mission to Franoe was the tiu-oan of the period, to demand not an offioe indeed, but the offer of an offioe not the aotual can indeed, but, as a Channing sung, "the delusive show of can." Such a performance as this restores one's sense of the true dignity of human nature. Had Mr. Bennett made no effort to obtain that station, he might have left it doubtful to his contemporaries whether it was that he failed to share a common weakness of his tribe, or was insensible to the advantage that might be got by a timely aud effeotive use of the same. Had he been tempted by the valid offer of the mission instead of being Invited to perform his promise to deoline it, we might now have to mourn another fallen from his high estate. But by his aotual oourse he permitted us to believe in the pro gress or the raoe, whilst auording us an aoou rate picture of his estimate of its present con dition and ideals. CARRIAGES.
