THB DEMAND FOR BR PA RATION FOR SPANISH OUTRAGES. JVwn the N..Y. Herald. . . Our telegf pbld ' dvloe from' Washington Inform n that the Government Is disposed to Uke b proper and dbUodbI Weir t the , oat rages reoentlj committed on the Amerion flg in the case of the brig; Mry LowM! and the boarding of the schooner Lizzie Majors on the high aeafl. The case of the first-named Teasel was an outrage of the most barefaoed eharaoter. It is not denied that this vessel was in possession of the customs officer of the British Government, In British waters, and with the seal ot the Crown upon her hatches. Yet she wss taken possession of by a Spanish war steamer, carried to Havana, and there con demned as legal prise. It is not asserted that she had infringed any law, nor was she engsged in any hostile aot. Reparation is due to the British Government for the disrespeot to its territory and flag; but not the less should our Government protect the rights and pro perty of American oitizens in this case. The affair of the Lixiie Majors is an equally alpable ease ot wrong on the part of the panish cruisers. She was boarded on the high seas, ana two passengers UKen irom her and carried back to Cuba, where, from aught we yet know, they may have been already Shot, as were those taken from the British sobooner Jeff Davis. No orime was alleged against them, and the utmost they oould be charged with was that they were fleeing to this oountry to escape from the tyranny ef the Government and the murderous seal of the mad Spanish volunteers. One of them was even a minor, a young lad, and the pretext for their Seizure was that their names did not appear upon the ship's manifest. It is due to our own honor and the cause of humanity and oivilization that we demand the immediate liberation of these persons, that they be safely plaoed again on their voyage to the United States, and that due reparation be made to our flag. We rejoioe that Secretary Fish is beginning to awake to the faot that fear is not the proper guardian of American honor. It is well that the Government has taken Steps to inorease our naval foroe in Southern waters. The proclamation issued by General Duloe on the 24th of last month openly as sumes the right to search and seize vessels on the high seas, and to try and oondemn them if it please his Exoellenoy so to do. Had we assumed this right during our late civil war the Havana nest of blockade-runners would have been broken up, and it is not impossible that the Spanish rale in Cuba might have been broken up with it. But we respected the freedom of the seas in one of the most flagrant cases whioh oould be presentedthat of Mason and Slidell and shall not consent that Spain, in the defense of an unjust cause and an odious tyranny, shall do less. The faot that the persons seized may be private citizens and not publlo officers, only makes suoh out rages the more flagrant. If Spain persists in them there is but one remedy the annihila tion of the remnant of Spanish power in the New World. CAN A NEGRO HOLD OFFICE IN GEORGIA f From the N. Y. Tribune. Mr. Justice Sohley, pronounced slu, is the Don Quixote of Georgia a knight who re Teres the dark ages, but oannot endure a black skin. His hatred to the colored people is so implacable as to mislead his judgment and betray his conscience, lie accordingly seizes upon the nrst opportunity to show his hos tility and violate the trust reposed in him as a Justioe or the superior Uourt. But he does one thing at least that is admirable. He boldly meets the issue, declaring the question to be "Can a negro hold office in Georgia, V Not so worthy of onr respect, however) are the solemn sophistries of this Georgia Judge, nor the wicked judgment that follows the speoial pleading of a lawyer who sits an advocate upon the bench. It seems that one Riohard W. White, who, owing to no fault of his own, was born not quite white, was elected or appointed clerk of the Superior Court of Chatham county, in the State of Georgia. Not having the fear of Judge Sohley before his eyes, he entered upon the dlsoharge of the duties ot his office, and, for aught that appears or is alleged to the contrary, performed those duties to the satis faction of those whom he served. But Wil liam J. Clements, who is presumed to be a shade lighter in complexion than Mr. White, was not pleased. He wanted the office him self, and was agonized in soul because he oould not get it. As sly as Judge Sohley him self, and more Intrepid than offioe-Beekers usually are, he oould not bd turned aside by the meets faot that another man held the plaoe and was not disposed to leave it. Inspired by the action of the Georgia Legislature he re solved upon deeds as noble, and accordingly made the astounding discovery that a very vulgar fraotion of Mr. White's ancestry was included in that class of whom it was said of old, "Cursed be Canaan" in other words, that he la a nigger, a per son of color, having one-eighth of negro "blood in his veins." This fact is brought to the notice of Mr. Justice Sohley upon a writ of qo warranto, and, without denying the al legation, Mr. White demurs to the complaint on the ground of its insofflaienoy in law. But Judge Sohley is big with the idea, and goes to work to keep the nigger out of office with almost as muoh elaboration as we could ex peot from the accomplished authoress of "Beulah" and "St. Elmo." Ignoring the pro clamation of emancipation, whlob, at the North at least, is believed to have had some effeot in its day, he assumes that up to 18G5 the negro in Georgia was a chattel, with no Dolitioal rights of any imaginable nature, bear ing in his name and race every politioal dls abilitr. In that year, he tells us, the State Convention gave freedom to the negro, and even went so far as to enable him to Bue and tastlfv in the courts, aoqulre and hold pro- nertr. and to marry. This creature with no "imiirtnibla" volilioal right was eveu al lowed, in the deep wisdom of Georgia's leg Is lators, to marry. Fortunate negroes) wise legislators I the voice of Georgia says men and women mtr marry without oflense to the Unt the wisdom of Georgia has foupd an nih r vent. The fourteenth amendment, in guaranteeing to negroes all the privileges and Immunities of oltizons of the United States, Julae Sohley decides, does not convey the 4.ht la hold office. The Dred Soot decision ia tanked to show that a person, may be a citizen "that is, a member of the oommu ni mn dirm the sovereignty" without the right to vote or hold effloe; and other cases of a liko oharaoter are ouea w prove wumw ha would otherwise "oonoede. Th. nlnt on which this wicked Judgment hinges is that citizenship does not include the right and immunities of all citizens, whereas ti,. onnt In of all the immunities and prlvl- UoA t nkfzana. It is the conclusion of this learned Judge that citizenship, ipso facto r ex vi termini, does not confer the tlaht ta hold offije. Ex vi termini we take to mean, aoeording to on liberal way of I translating the Latin of Poathern Judges, I fA. o .nl of a olnb." and everybody knows that the bludgeon has been and still is a favorite way, down South, of conferring rights and immunities upon the negroes. Judge Sohley would no doubt be pleased to continue this method with those whom he calls "the lowest olass Of natural persons." This lowest class of natural persons, he tells us, "rested under every disability before the Constitution was adopted," and henoe he is averse to con ferring npon them now "all the immunities and privileges of oltlzetis of the United States." He appears to have visions of "a Congo, au Ebo, a Hottentot fresh from his jungles" taking a plaoe by his side on the benoh or at the polls, and it is Sohley and not the n'gger that writhes. ' OFFICIAL DISHONE3TY NO BAR TO PRO MOTION IN OFFICE. From the .V. Y. Time. A good many curious and questionable things have been done in the matter of ap pointments to offloe during the last five weeks; but the most curious and the most questionable of them all is the appointment by the President, with the advloe and consent of the Senate, of James M. Ashley to be Gov ernor of Montana. We do not refer to his aotion en impeachment, to his repeated publlo assertions that he was in possession of proof that Andrew Johnson was an aooomplioe in Lincoln's assassination, assertions whioh he sought to sustain by subornation of perjury, but which proved to be utterly false; or to any of his politioal aots concerning whioh there can be doubt or honest difference of opinion. urn the records 01 the House of Kepresenta- tives oontain abundant evidenoe of his publlo corruption of venality, voluntary and con fessed, in high office; and if there be any pre tense of official virtue left in the Government. that we should think should prevent his being appointed to still higher offloe by an adminis tration which came Into power under the most solemn pledges of reforming abuses and making integrity the supreme law of the Government. Eight years ago Mr. Ashley did all in his power to have a man named Case appointed Surveyor of a Western Territory, and himself made Chairman of the Committee on Territo ries in the House of Representatives. His ob- jeot and purpose in this was to give Case the best possible opportunity to speculate in town lots, promising to aid him in so doing by keeping him advised of whatever the House Committee on Territories might do to make such speculation pecuniarily profitable, and exacting in return one-half of all the money which might be made by these Joint speculations. He demanded to be made a full partner with Case in his speculations, and for this promised to put in as his share of the capital all the knowledge and all the aid whioh his official position as Chair man of the Committee on Territories might give him. These facts were not matters of rumor. They did not rest on hearsay testimony. They were established by Ashley's letters to Case; the propositions were distinctly made, in his own handwriting and under his own signa ture; and the whole correspondenoe, whioh was as clear and definite as words oould make it, was drawn out and put before Congress and spread npon its J printed reoords, by a committee of the House of Representatives appointed to investigate the subjeot. A mo tion made at the time to punish, or at least censure, Mr. Ashley for his part in this mat ter, was defeated on the ground that there was no proof that he bad ever received any money under the corrupt partnership whioh he sought to form, and the whole transaction went into the inside history of the practical workings of our political system. But, setting aside all question of punish ment, why ahonld this man, thus branded, thus officially oonvioted of the highest crime a publio man can commit an attempt to sell his offioial power for money oonvioted of cor ruption and venality in office why should he be put into still higher office and given still better opportunities for repeating his offense? We can understand how General Grant, knowing nothing of his past history, and yielding to the pressure of the members of Congress and other politicians, who, aoting as usual without the slightest sense of responsi bility or the slightest regard for the publio honor, urged his appointment, should have sent in his nomination. Bat we cannot under stand why, when all the faots were made public, he did not instantly withdraw it; nor why, with the reoord of these facts before them, the Senate, even by a majority of one, should have given its "advice and oonsent" to such an appointment. His confirmation was strongly urged by Senator Sumner and others, on the ground of Ashley's party ser vices, and on suoh base and miserable pre texts the thing was carried through! 1 he Senate has thus deliberately sanctioned the doctrine that integrity of eharaoter. honesty in office and in the dlsoharge of offioial duty, is not essential to official position; that it is not necessary in order to receive an ap pointment by the President "by and with the aavice and oonsent or the Senate." One vote wonld have averted this disgraoe from the Senate, from the administration, and from the Republican party; but that one vote was not to be had. The old motto that "all is fair in politics" was bad enough, bnt the new rule established by the benat, that offioial orime may be cloaked or atened for by politioal ser vice, is a trifle worse. SHALL THE FEDR&AL CAPITAL BE RE MOVED TO NEW YORK? From the X. Y. WorUl. We have reprinted a striking artiole from one of the most enterprising Republican jour nals in the West the Cincinnati Commer cial advooating a change in the seat of the Federal Government. We must oonoede that the reasons urged fer its transfer from Wash ington to New York are not without foroe. They oould be reinforced by others quite as important, which esoaped the notice of the Cincinnati Commercial. But as it is our pur pose, in recalling attention to the subjeot, to point out some oi the disadvantages of suoh a cnange, it is not incumbent ou us to supply the omitted arguments on that side of the question. Our local pride and sense of looal benefit would prepossess us in favor of the removal If it were proposed with any prospect of success; but a it is never likely to happen, we can reconcile ourselves te the loss by con templating the effeot of such a transfer upon the public liberty. We are constrained to lock at the subjot pot merely as New York ers, but as advooates of free institutions; and we are of opinion that the transfer of the poli tical capital of the country to Its commercial metropolis would strengthen the centralizing tendencies of the period. In the first plaoe, it would give te the con solid ationists (what they have never yet had) a plausible argument for dwarfing and belittling the States, founded on the laoguage of the Constitution. The Constitution expressly re cognizes the propriety and the desirability of the Federal Government having couDleta ta. rlsdiction over the locality which is the seat of the- Federal authority. , It olothes Congress with power "to exercise exclusive legislation. In all cases whatsoever, over such dlstrlot, not xoeeding ten miles square, as may, py oes slon of partlonlar States and the aooeptanoe of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States; and to exercise like anthorit over plaoes purohasd, by the consent of the Legislatures of the States In whioh the same shall be, for the ereotlon of forts, magazln.8, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful build ings." The recognition of the authority of the States over their own territory in this passage is very completer but the expediency of the Federal Government having fall oontrol over the place where it Is looated is recognized with equal olearness. The transfer of the Federal capital from Washington to New York would Immediately raise the question whether Con gress should exolude State authority and banish all State Jurisdiction from Manhattan hland. Would the Legislature of New York cede the olty to Congress in order that it might be made the national capital ? Would Congress transfer the seat of government without suoh a cession? Before centraliza tion had made snoh glgautto strides as it has of late, a removal would not have been con sented to without a cession of the oity; but in the present temper of Congress, It would pro bably be regarded as a matter of indlfferenoe, sinoe.that body would not soruple to assume all the authority whioh could be rightfully acquired by the voluntary oonsent of the Legislature. If the Federal Government were once here, it would not ask leave of the State to exeroise exolusive jurisdiction. It would rely on the intrinsio propriety of the autho rity, and treat State remonstrances with oou tempt. The argument of the Federalist for the necessity of suoh authority oould easily be pressed into the service of the oonsolida tlonists. We insert the oomments of the Fedtralist on the passage of the Constitution which we have copied: "The iiuIlDpensable necessity of complete autho rity at tho seat of government carries Its own evi dence with It. It is a power exercised by every legislature in the Union I mlKht say of tho world by virtue of Its general Bupremiicy. Without It, not only the public authority might bo Insulted and its proceeding interrupted with imnunitr: hut a de pendence of the members of the General Govern ment on the State comprehending the seat of govern ment for protection in tho exercise of their duty, might bring on tho national councils an imputation of awe or influence equally dishonorable to the Gov ernment and dlHsatisfuctory to other members of the confederacy. This consideration has the more weight, as the gradual accumulation of public improvements at the stationary residence of tho Government would both be too great a pledge to be left in the hands of a single State, and would create so ninny obstacles to a removal of tie Gov ernment, p, on null iuimili nifiiMuc urt lIllimHMKlUIlUL1! no uttll tlKtho. .1 nW,l. .... 1 The necessity of a like authority over iiiriM, iiiuk'iiiu" CMS., esianimned nv tho Ueneral Government, is not less evident. The public money expended ou such places, and the public property deposited in uiem, require mat tney should lie ex empt from the authority of the particular State. Nor would it be proper for the places on which the sc. curity of the entire Lnion may depend to be In any uegrt;e ui'iiriitirni uu a purueuiitr mciiiDcr OI it. Certain it is, that if the national capital is ever transferred to iNew York, Congress will claim, and will exeroise, fall authority and jurisdiction over the city. The practical result will be the same whether the Legisla ture cedes the city or not; and it is not easy to overrate the eiieot oi such a transfer In hasten ing the consolidation of all politioal authority , in the Federal Government. It- would over shadow the most important of the States the one most capable of maintaining its separate authority In the chief seat of its Influence. It would assooiate the Federal Government. in the popular imagination, with that mighty oommeroe which, having its centre here, spreads its ramifications through every part of the union, it would convert the vast inlluenoe which this olty is destined to exert upon the country by its wealth, its intelligence, its civilization, its oommeroe, its sooial pre-emi nence, and its publio journals, into a strong ally and supporter of the politioal authority. At present, the centre of intelligence, civilization, and sooial influence being different from the centre of politios, the Government acquires no dangerous hold upon men's imaginations; it is credited with no other influence than that which it actually exerts; nothing radiates from Washington but mere naked authority, with out that grace of attire and surroundings, and that despotism over dazzled imaginations, whioh it would have if Washington were the chief seat of the national oulture and the great foous of refinement, splendor, and sooial display. The faot that our national capital has been a small provincial town has saved the oountry from many illusions. We have been under no temptation to attribute the enormous growth of the Federal authority to anything but the sordid motives and vulgar ambition by whioh it has been produoed. Seeing how powerful and how dangerous the consolidating tendencies already are, no sin cere friend of liberty oan wish to see them reinforced by such an alliance with the com merce, wealth, and cultivation of the oountry as would result from a tiansfer of the seat of government to New York. Up to within a recent period, we have had nothing in this oountry corresponding, in any respeot, to the great capitals of Europe. The intellectual and sooial cultivation of the coun try, like its politioal authority, has. been widely distributed; its numerous cities having no marked social pre-emlnenoe or inferiority as oompared with one another, any more than the several States have had in respect to po litical authority. This wide distribution of culture and authority is one of the favoring oironmstanoes whioh have contributed to the strength and the rapid development of the oountry. ' Whatever there has been of good in the eharaoter of our people self-reliance, en terprise, love of liberty, intellectual cultiva tion, sooial refinement has been equally aotlve In every localitv, as there was no temptation powerlul enough to drain it away into a cen tral vortex. Our country has, therefore, been like Milton's angels, who, "Vital in every part, Cannot but by annihilating die, When the British took our national capital in our last war with that oountry, its oapture was of little more consequence than wonld have been the oapture of any other oity of the rame size. There has never been a time, until since New York has grown so large, when the loss of any particular city to a foreign enemy or a domestic rebellion would have seriously imperilled our safety, or diminished eur resources, or arrested our civilization. But the wonderful growth of New York and the conoentration here of our foreign and domestio oommeroe, are rapidly giving to this city the eharaoter ef a great social metropolis. People of intellectual oul ture or sooial ambition, who have aoquired wealth in the other cities of the Union, are more and more drawn hither to enjoy it; and the effect will be a constant advanoe in metro politan civilization at the expense of all other carts of the conntrv. Now. if the seat of sovernment were transferred to New York, this inevitable tendenov would bs stlm nlatvd by the addition of a new and powerful attraction. Unquestionably, the concentration ef all the best talent and most aotlve sooiai ambitions of the country in one metropolis, and their close alliance with the Government, would be aooomnanied with advaatageB; but would it tend to nreserve our reoublioan in stjtntions t We think it wonld not; we think It would tend to make New York the United Btates, in the same sense that Paris is Franoe rew York wonld not onlv cerform the ex ohanges, and shape the opinions, and regulate the fashions of the whole oountry, but it would be the sole oentre of politioal influence. The Federal Govarnment. reinforced and supported hjr all that can dazzle the imagination, doml- neer over the taste, and appeal to the interests of onr countrymen, wonld eolipse and dstroy the little remnant of total authority; and whatever might be the external" form ef oar Government, it would be in substanoe and spirit a great consolidated empire. We can easily reoonoile ourselves to the loss of ad vantages which would be purouasea at suou a cost.
