RT?CIPKOPITY TVTTr! TTaWATT' From the X. Y. Tnbui. W are informed that th American pUa Urs'tod tuerohanta of the Sandwich Islands,' who lire a large majority of the foreign popu lation, desire annexation to the United States, and are ready to aoorpt the hardens along with the privileges of saoh union; bat ther cannot just now realize this wUh, beoanse the independence of whose Government is gnarameed by great powers; therefore they propose and urge the next thing a stepping stone to annexation reciprocity. They waut to sell to ns free of dnty all their sugars and other products, and buy of us all their im ports, so that we and they shall trade to gether like people of one land. This will Americanize the islands, and a' thorough Americanization of the islands will secure our interests in the Pacific, so that we need not be in haste about the question of an nexation. England is not baokward to Angli cize where her people get a foothold; and it Is asserted by well-informed Amerioan residents of the islands that, if we do not now take steps to Amerionnize them, England will Anglicize them. She has sent there a bishop and an inlluential clergy; and an Australian line of steamships is to touoh at Honolulu, that will accommodate sugars to reaoh a distant market and bring back Australian emigrants. In t. rif tliaoift at a fam an t and it it ha aa asserted, that we shall gain more in internal revenue than we shall lose on imports by this measure of reciprocity, the subject is deserv ing of the most careful consideration on the part of the American Senate. CLOSING Uf THE WORK. From the X. Y. Tribune. Congress has wisely devolved on the Presi dent tbe duty of providing for eleotions in the three States not yetreoonatruoted; and we are are the work will be seasonably and fitly at tended to. Let the crowd of offioe-seekers at Washington be allowed a few days more for final dispersion, and we shall then see procla mations addressed to the people of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, appointing a day of election in each, and prescribing the manner of voting on their pending constitutions re spectively. No doubt, it will be rendered practicable in each to vote for reconstruction and against disfranchisement, so that thou sands will vote to return to self-government and representation in Congress who wo aid refuse to do so if they were obliged therein to Tote for the disfranchisement even of their friends and neighbors. We see with regret, though without sur prise, that many of the Northern journals which justified and applauded the fatal plunge backwards taken by Georgia last summer in the expulsion of the colored members from her Legislature, are now trying to "fire the Southern heart," and impel it to vote down the new constitutions, thus protracting indefi nitely that anomalous military rule which they affect so much to deplore. Because Con gress has prescribed a ratification of the XVth amendment, and reserved the right to review the aotion of the States about to vote, they would have those States reject their respec tive constitutions, and thus remand them selves into military provinces. This is precisely of a pieoe with that suici dal aotion which did so much to justify distrust and severity on the part of Congress. Repub licans cannot be expected to forget that the blaoks (and even the yellows) were expelled from the Georgia Legislature, after they had served therein without objection for months, by the votes of men themselves expressly disqualified by their own prominent participa tion in tbe Rebellion men who owed their own seats to the forbearanoe of the very men they thus ostracized. Nor can it be so soon forgotten that the States of Georgia and Lou isiana were made to vote against General Grant last November by terrorizing a majority of the blacks Into voting against their own en franchisement or not voting at all. In thirty or forty counties, containing at least fifty thousand colored voters, who had already ex ercised the right of suffrage in unani mous affirmance of their own right to be regarded and treated as men and citizens, . hardly a dozen votes per county were oast for Grant and Colfax, and the returns were made to show a preponderance of a hundred to one for Seymour and Blair, when every one knew that a majority of the voters desired the defeat of those candidates. If Demoorata have so soon forgotten this monstrous wrong, perpe trated through Rebel conspiracy and persecu tion, they surely cannot expeot that Republi cans have done so. We could wish that Con gress had been less exacting and suspicions in its new terms of reconstruction; yet we cannot deny that those terms were abundantly justi fied by the aotion of the Rebel Demooraoy, even so lately as 1SG8. We hope to hear that every lover of peaoe at the South now takes his stand firmly and openly in favor of bringing eaoh of the out lying States forthwith back into their old plaoeB In the Union. Hitherto thousands have held off because they hoped that the Presiden tial election of 18U8 would result in a Demo ratio pro-Rebel triumph; but that hope is now dead. To stand out now, in fond expeo tancy of a different result in 1872, were ab surd and suioldal. Let us have each State back in her plaoe next winter, and all pre scriptions and disfranchisements must vanish like the dews of summer. Every one will soon vote; and the Government of eaoh State, and Its representation in Congress, must very soon be such as the will of a majority of her people shall ohoose to have it. Nothing is to be gained, while every good result will be im peded, by voting now to keep three States in definitely under pupilage. Reconstruction is the door whloh opens into every possibility of .melioration and improvement; let it not be sullenly closed by those to whom it affords the only aooess to self-government and tbe full recovery of their forfeited rights THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE CUBAN QUESTION. From the X. Y. Utrald. We are Informed by news from Washington that the Secretary of State has awakened from bis Rip Van Winkle sleep of conservatism on the Cuban question, and that he really con templates vindicating the national honor in the case of Spanish outrages on the Amerioan flag and American citizens. It is said he will go so far even as to demand prompt reparation and apology from Spain for these outrages, "if the resorts about them be true." So far it ia all very well, and considering the oharaoter of Air. Irish and the Hesitating oonauot 01 me administration, the American people may say the smallest favors are thankfully reoelveci But why this "if f" Ia it not notorious that Spanish authorities have committed outrages on our citizens and flag on the high seas and Tun in the waters of a friendly power f The facts are palpable enough and the oause suffi cient to order the Amerioan vo iuaa reprisals. W suppose Spain will apologize or do aiiTthlnir else to prevent our Govern stent from helping, directly or Indirectly, the cutaa. But would It not. be more consistent with our national honor and the highest pelioy to first strike a blow by way of retaliation, aud bear the apology of Spain afterward, if r pain Shoold be disponed to apologize T There i, as was said, ample cause for such a oourse la the outrages perpetrated. Besides, no better op portunity oonld be desired to carry oat Amerioan polioy and the wishes of the Ameri can people with regard to Cuba and Cuban independence. Plaoe England, France, or.au other great power in the position of the United States, and see how soon a blow would be struck that would settle at onoe and forever Bpamiuh insults, diplomatlo palaver, the rule of Spain in Cuba, aid the independence of the Cnbans. To paraphrase Shakespeare's language, there is a tide in the affairs of nations which, if taken at the flood, leads on to national fortune. In tbe case of Cuba the tide is now at the flood. Let our Government comprehend this, and seize the opportunity. Timid old fogies who cannot see beyond their noses may foolishly talk about our obli gations to Spain as a friendly power, and characterize any decided Intervention of the United States as filibustering. Bat such an argument would be puerile, narrow-minded, and show a want of comprehension of the principles that govern great nations. To pre serve and perpetuate the principles or system npoB which a nation is founded, to surround a nation with all the bulwarks of na'.lonal ex istence, and to promote its interests, expan sion, and grandeur by every attainable means, are the objects pursued by all government, and oonsitute their highest ambition. The term filibustering cannot be applied to a great nation. Nor are the friendly relations between countries permitted to interfere with questions of high polioy and important national interest). No gteat power is deterred by suoh considera tions. We need not go far back to history to show this fact. Why did Prussia seize and Incorporate the German States ? Why doeB Russia push her conquests in Asia and Europe? Why does England subjugate India and every other part of tbe world she can lay her hands on 1 Why did France incorporate Savoy, and why does she plot to reach the boundary of the Rhine? Why was Poland conquered and divided by the surioundiBg great powers ? Why, in fact, do all nations act in the same way f The answer is in every one's mind. Tbe objeot with all is self-preservation, tbe perpetuation of their forms of government, and national expansion, interests, and grandeur. This being so with the monarchical governments of Eu rope, how much more ought the United States, for the promotion of liberty and in the inte rests of civilization and humanity, to extend the blessings of republican institutions over the American continent f To neglect any op portunity of doing this and to neglect it in the case of Cuba now would be the height of stupidity. Had we suoh a statesman as Uis mark or Napoleon at the helm of affairs, the insults of Spain, her atrooittes in Cuba and her rule in America would soon be ended. It was said Mr. Fish expressed fear of the consequences of a bold polioy on the part of the United States with regard to Cuba. We blush to think any Amerioan could be found fo weak, timid, short-sighted, and unpatriotic Fear of whom? Of Spain ? Why, If she were silly enough to think of going to war with the United States she has not the means; and if she had she would produce just about as muoh effect upon this country as the angry waves of a little lake upon the everlasting rocks. Fear of whom ? Of England or Franoe ? There need not be the least apprehension of them. They know too well the power of the United States. They would not be so crazy as to in terfere; they have enough to attend to in Europe, and will never venture on any Quixotio policy on this side the Atlantio again. We question if they would make a protest even in favor of Spain, and if they should it would be an empty one.' Besides, these great commercial nations are learning the faot that the more the United States expands and grows the more will the oommeroe of the world be promoted and the greater will be their trade. What we want, then, is a broad and bold policy, with a view to the independence of Cuba. Our Seoretary of State does very well so far in vindicating the honor of the Ameri can flag and in promising to protect American citizens. But that is not enough; that is not going far enough. We are not sure that he has the courage and wisdom to stick even to this position, and we cannot be at the troable of driving him up to it always. He is. not the man for the State Department at this crisis, when we have the Cuban question and the Alabama claims to settle. He is altogether too timid, too much of an old fogy, and has not the least comprehension of the policy and destiny of this mighty republic Mr. Sumner Is the man for the time and occasion. His statesmanlike speech on the Alabama claims shows this, and we doubt not that he would be equally national, bold, and com prehensive with regard to Cuba. By the way, it has been said that these Alabama claims are a stumbling-block to the adminis tration in acting upon the Cuban case. We do not see why. The hasty recognition of the belligerent rights of the Rebel States, an Integral portion of this republic, by England, and the recognition of suoh rights, or the inde pendence ot Cuba, a distant dependency of Dpain ana our near neiguoor, after more than Bix montns of constant sucoess by the Cubans, are not at all parallel cases, to Bay nothing of the well-established polioy of the United States, nnder the Monroe doctrine, whioh was long ago announced to the whole world, and which now nnas a proper application to Caba. Let ns have a statesman in the State Depart ment who will take such broad views and carry out the sentiments and destiny of the repubiio; ana we thins Mr. Sumner Is the man. PARTY RESPONSIBILITY. From the X. Y. Tinuo. In face of their protestations of economv. the Assembly has just voted to buy a short canal somewhere in Chemung oounty, and to pay a nan xnunon or dollars tor It, while everybody concedes that it is not worth five oents. It was zealously supported by that veteran re- iormer and model legislator, Father Truman, and was opposed, among others, by Mr. Husted, of Westohester, who, aooordlng to the Tribune reporter, "fought It bitterly." The same authority adds: "The latter gentleman remarked that whonuvcr a l)lr Job votiiur money out of tlie Treasury came up, t 1 e lJwnomitH HolMly voted for it, and then threw J. ,,,!,,"Jl1'",'tv." tll IfcPUblicau majority by say- 2 nl'iL1 !e 1.u.lU;r Wttllte'1 to 8t"l tills kind ef Hteul tiiK they have the vote to dolt. Not a dav niuisuH thut the truth of this assertion is not proved!" Not a day passes, the writer might have added, that the truth of both assertions is not proved. The Democrats are perfectly right in what they say. Naturally enough for them they want to do all the stealing possible- and quite as naturally, they want to shirk th. re sponsibility. And. curiously enough, the have no diffionlty in doing it. They have no trouble In getting enough Republicans to vote with them to carry their measures. In the Senate the votes of Humphrey, Williams. Mat. toon, and Van Petten are always to be had for any venal project, no matter how flagrant and shameless, and the same sort ot Republicans are always obtainable also in tne Assembly. Yet it is perfeotly true that the Republicans have a majority la both nouses, and "have the votes" to stop this sort of (stealing, if they wanted to.. 'The inferenoe Is Irresistible tb tt they don't want to. Honesty is not one of tue principles of the party is never Instated on as a party measure. - All these Republicans who make it a rale to vote with the Demo-j cratsfor the most nefatious schemes, when their votes are paid for, do not lose standing in their party by it; they are Just as "good. Republicans" as ever go to the party cau cuses without objection, make loud and nn-' thallenged protests of devotion to the welfare of the party, and denounoe with great vehe mence every man who has doubts on negro suffrage, or hesitates to alter the Constitution whenever the interests of the party seem to require it. They stand high in the party, are counted always as among its most "reliable" men, and are influential in branding as false to principle everybody who finds fault with them for disgraolng and degrading the party whioh tolerates and soreens them. As long as such men are allowed to belong to the Republican party, to share Its honors and its power, and to overrule Its aotion, the party must be content to bear the responsi bility of their conduot. When it will drive them Irom its ranks, with the disgrace they have earned, it may then complain of the Democrats for using Republicans to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. But not tilt then. THE UNITED STATES AND CUBi. From the X. Y. World. . The large number of Cubans who are ar riving in this city, and the zeal and activity with which they are attempting to propagate sentiments favorable to Cuban independence, keep alive and enhance the interest whioh our people spontaneously feel In the pending struggle. These Cnbans express dissatisfac tion at what they consider the apathetlo oourse of our Government, and great Impatience at every expression in a publio Journal un favorable to the immediate recognition of Cuban independence. Americans oan easily pardon this eagerness on the part of foreign ers, who know little of the history and tradi tions of our Government and its customary manner of proceeding la similar oases. Our people have always taken the liveliest inte rest in every straggle for Independence or for free institutions in any part of the world; but our Government, on every such occasion, has deemed it its dnty to stand cautiously aloof and avoid committing itself bv anv nr- mature steps. Everybody recollects the great blaze of enthusiasm which broke out among ns when Kossuth visited this country as the representative or Hungarian independence. But although he was wonderfully eloauent himself, and caused a great gush and outpour ing oi eloquence irom our popular speakers, the wild enthusiasm of the numerous meetings tney aaaressea aia not move our uovernment to yield to Kossuth's importunities. After raising what "material aid" he could by pri vate contributions, he stole out of the country in disguise and disgust. While our people nave always given their sympathy, onr Gov. ernment has never given its aid, to revolu tionary movements in their early stages. It would be instructive to examine, in this view, tbe publio documents and state papers which have most poweriully electrified the country by the boldness of their tone towards foreign governments. The ablest and most remarkable of the class is undoubtedly Mr. Webster's celebrated reply to the Chevalier Hulseman. We will quote from that powerful and stirring letter some passages Indicating its general spirit, and at the same time show ing how steadily and firmly our Government has always discharged its duties of neutrality while asserting the right of our people to manifest their approving Interest In revolu tionary movements abroad: "The Government and people of the United States." said Mr. Webster, "like other Intelligent governments and communities, tune a lively interest, m t no move ments and events of this remarkable ii(e, In what ever part of the world they may be exhibited. Hut the interest taken by the United States in those events has not proceeded from any disposition to depart from that neutrality towards foreign powers which is union); the deepest principles and most cherished traditions of the political history of the Union. It has been the necessary eltect of the un exampled character of the events themselves, which could not fall to arrest the attention of. the contem porary world; as they will doubtless till a memorable page in history. Hut the undersigned goes further, and freely admits that, In proportion as these extra- traordinary events appeared to have their origin in those great pleas oi rcsponsime aim popular govern ments on which the American constitutions them selves are wholly founded, they could not but com mand the warm sympathy of the people of this country." "They could not, if they so desired, suppress Wther the thoughts or the hopes which arise In men's minds, in other countries. from contemplating this successful example of free government. - - - ".Nevertheless the Unltei States have abstained at all times from acts of inter fcrence with the political changes of Europe. They cannot, however, fall to cherish a lively interest in the fortune of nations struggling for institutions like their own. Hut this sympathy, so far from being necessarily a nostue ieenng towards anv or the nar ties to these great national struggles, is quite con sistent w ith amicable relations w ith them all." ' "Hut when the United States behold the people of jorcign countries, wiiuout any mien luterlereuee, spontaneously moving towards the adoption of insti lutions like tneir own, it surely cannot be expectei of them to remain wholly lndiil'ereut spectators." We have preferred to present the Amerioan doetrine and praotioe by quotations from this celebrate a letter, rather than by oold oita tions from onr neutrality laws and the pro clamations issued by our Presidents, because Buon documents show nothing but a nak recognition of neutral obligations, while the Hulseman letter sets forth also the glowing popular feeling and intense sympathetic favor wmon render the amies of the Government in such cases so dlffioult. It was the manly and spirited assertion by Mr. Webster of the right of onr people to indulge in these natural feel ings whioh caused that letter to be applanded beyond any dooument of tbe kind that was ever printed. The point on whioh we wish to ex the attention of readers, and especially of those who are Impatient that our Government aoes not promptlv reoosnize Cuba, is that, m the most Blowing and eloquent vindication of their full right of sympathy, the boldness and national pride ot the writer oonld not oveiieap the barriers of International law, but was com pelled to recognize the duty of strict neutrality on the part of our Government. i The duties of neutrality do not preolude ns irom recognizing tbe independence of Cuba, wnen it is achieved, or even as soon as our Government shall be satisfied that Spain will never suooead in Bubduing the revolution. Most assuredly, we are nnder no obligation to wait until Spain herself relinquishes her claim to sovereignty. We recognized all the South American republics while Spain still claimed tbem as colonies; and we violated no neutral obligation in doing bo. In like manner, we recognized the independence of Texas while Mextoo still asserted her claim; and we, of oourse, shall not wait for the oonsent of Spain before we welcome Ctiba into the family of na tions, if, by her own bravery and persistence, she shall make it evident that the mother country will not finally subdue her. Bat until the Cubans shall give as solid grounds of satisfaction on this point, it is oar dear duty to stand apart and watoh the progress ot the struggle, giving onr sympathies as freely as we ohoose, but refusing to oommlt oar Gov ernment to an embryo independence whloh may turn out to be abortive. The door will doubtless be kept open for recognition If the progress of events shall Justify it. But even assured independence and our re cognition of it would not release ns from the duties of neutrality. Ia the event of suooess, Cuba, an independent nation, would be at war with Spain, another Independent nation, boil. friendly to the Unit.! Stales. Ohr laws wonld men, not less loan now, compel me President to prevent our citizen from fitting out expeditions to aid either aide. Oar recog nition would aid Cuba, only as an expression of onr deliberate judgment that she had be- f . j a . come strong eaougn to maintain ner inde pendence by her own resources. Suoh a judg ment will be the mere acknowledgment of a fact, and the fact must exist before it oan be recognized. The folly ot cpain may, nowever, mate ns party to this struggle. If Spain commits outrages upon our oiuzens, onr uovernment will be compelled to resent and punish them. Next to tbe Immediate reception oi tneir minister, the thing whioh the Cnbans have most set their hearts upon Is the Intervention of our Government to punish injuries to our citizens. Their hopes on this score are not lthout some foundation. It Is well known that Seoretary Fisb, when he saw the late deoree of the Captain-General of Cuba, in formed the Spanish Minister that any attempt to apply such doctrines to Amerioan oitlzens would lead to grave complications a diplo matic form of threat whioh the Spanish Minis ter con'd be at no loss to understand. Forthwith a lleet was ordered to the Gulf to protect our people from the rude hand of Spanish passion. In one sense, this prompt preventive action of Mr. Fish Is adverse to the hopes of tbe Cubans; for if the spirited action of onr Uovernment should teacn tbe Captain-General some sense and discretion, it may prevent that war between the United States and Spain which the Cabana so eagerly wish as assuring their independence. Bat if Spain disregards the warning if she outrages onr people, and refuses immediate reparation tneir wrongs must be speedily avenged. it win De seen, ineretore, mat very lmpor tant events are suspended on the discretion of government which has thus far shown no discretion. A month or even a week may precipitate matters into suon a oondltion ai may suddenly snap the last rtnatniug tie be tween Spain and the New World a world whioh was discovered under her auspices, and of which she formerly possessed the greater part. In circumstanoes so oritioal and inter esting, nothing oan be clearer tnan tne daty of our Government to bear itself with snch prudence and continence that if we are foroed Into a quarrel witn bpain wuioh. onoe begun, will make the whole world resound with its consequences we may stand vindi cated by a just and enlightened publio opinion FURNITURE, ETC.
