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

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

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.
