THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 18G9. AMFBICAN rKKiCmNUVS. PRACTICE. From the rill Ma U f.'a rttle. The Thnrn of Monday contained a telegram from it rhiliulclphla corrcspond!i)t more in telliifiWc find probably more exact than Mr. Keutor's on the same subject announcing that the llotteo of Representatives has passed a resolution declaring its sympathy with the Cuban insurgents, and promising lis support to tho President whenever lie shall think it right to re rocnize their Independence. If the negotiations between the United States should be renewed, this step will necessitate some iinrcnious special pleading on tho part of .Mr. Motley. It ,i ditli cult to conceul tho feellns which would have been excited in America if tho House Com mons had i.asscdan analogous resolution in 1801. The adoption by a majority ot nearly three to one of an address to the Crown expressing sympathy with the Southern States, and promising her Majesty support iu the event of her thinking it right to recognize their iudependencc, would have been accepted almost as a declaration of war. Spain is not likely to look on the act of tho House of Repre sentatives in this light, because she has enough on her hands without that quarrel with the United States w hich is all that is needed to make the loss of Cuba inevitable. l!ut the character of the resolution is not altered by the degree of impunity which atte nds it. If it is right for the IIoiisc of Representatives to move the 1'residcnt to recognize the independence of Cuba, it would have been right for the House of Commons to move the Crown to recognize the independence of the South. We are instilled, therefore, in atklng some of our American critics to explain Jiow it is that the same body which has just taken tlio former step itself nourishes latter in dignation against (ireat Britain for taking, nat the latter siep, but .something infinitely slim L ol jt. So much has lic.cn said m the- I nitril Mutes, on the unprecedented conduct of this country in recognizing the Southern States hh a belligerent and this not merely by members ol Con gress, and others who claim a prescriptive right to talk patriotic nonsense, but by journalists and politicians of real eminence thai this is not too much to claim at their hands. Will either the conductor of the Xatitm or tho correspondents of the haiUj AVics or H)wvaUr condescend to give us what we crave ? II it had been Canada instead of Cuba that is now in iu Biirreetion, all would have been plain. Even then to treat a recognition of independence as equiva lent to n recognition of beiligereiicy would be stretching matters rather far, though" soreness of temper is usually apt to see points of resemblance which escape ordinary eyes. Rut towards Spain the House of Representatives has no ill-feeling if we are not mistaken, it has already declared . its sympathy with the Spanish revolution so that some slight sacrifice t consistency was not more than might have been looked lor. Since this saeritiee has not been made; Englishmen will have a right to regard American politician as simply out of court with regard to the proclamation of neutrality, and the ill-will of which Creat Britain lias in consequence been the object, unless they can draw some distinc tion between the insurgents in Cuba and the in surgents in the South. We cannot be expected to submit to their disinterested efforts to take out the mote that is in our eve unless they will at least recognize the existence of the very large beam which has just made its appearance ' in their own eye. We wish to ask them a very himple question: Why. it it is right for Amer icans to feel and express sympathy wit h the Cu ban insurgents, was it wrong for Knglishnien to feel and express sympathy with the Southern insurgents? Perhaps the easiest way of dealing with the dillieulty is to abandon as "indefensible the position taken up by the House of Represen tatives. This, as may be gathered from an an ticipatory reference to the subject in the Spt cta tor, will be the line adopted by the most reason able of those Knglish Liberals who have con sistently sympathized with the Republican party in Congress. They will say, with perfect truth, that one man's ill doing is not excused by an other man's subsequent ill doing; that the fact of our being wrong in 18(11 is in no way altered by the Americans being wrong iu 18t')8. Rut if this is to be the answer, it will be well for those Who give it to guard in sonic way against the ycry sweeping application of which it is sus ceptible. It certainly seems as if soma Kng lish Liberals had become unduly chary of their sympathy with insurrections since the outbreak of "the civil war in America. There can be no objection to their revising their theory of rebellion if they thought it stood in need of such treatment a point on which we should perhaps be Inclined to agree with them but they must be on the watch against the extreme absolutism to which their new creed threatens to commit them. The doctrines which have been preached in the Fiwrtalor and the JJail; JVew.i with reference to the insurrection ol the South are equivalent, as it seems to us, to the assertion that armed resistance to authority can never be lawful. We do not for a moment, sup pose that this opinion is really held by the jour nals in question, but we confess that we arc utterly unable to reconcile their views of the American war with any other theory. If Ame ricans may not sympathize with the Cubans, if Englishmen might not sympathize with the Southern States, when it is lawful for either Americans or Knglishmen to sympathize with insurgents anywhere? Is rebellion always sinful, and if "not, what is the test by which its innocence is to be recognized? Those Americans who prefer to draw a distinction be tween the eases, and to justify the proposed recognition of Cuba as an independent State whije condemning the recognition of the South even as a belligerent power, will probably not trouble themselves to reconcile the two judg ments, unless, as in the instance of Mr. Motley, they may be compelled to attempt it in the course of oflicial business. Certainly no man can be judged very hardly for shirking siuli a task. Sojfar as the facts arc kuown. the posi tion of the Cuban insurrection is far less favor able than tho position of the South was at any time during the lirst two years of the civil war. On the theory so persistently advanced by Mr. Seward, even the existence' of a civil war in Cuba is not yet established. Why should it be regarded as anything more than ''a domestic disturbance which, although it has severe peculiarities, is in fact only such a sedi tious insurrection as is incidental to national iirogress in every State?" This is how Mr. Seward thought fit to describe the secession of the South, and it is hard to see why oilier (Gov ernments should not be allowed the benefit of a similar mode of dressing up lacts. Spain Is in, great need of "national progress" just now, and' if a seditious insurrection is everywhere inei deutal" to this blessing. professed lovers ol liberty ought to be above taking advantage of the "severe peculiarities" by which it maybe for the moment attended. Mcnlul AwaK'iiiii lit liin;i. The AVio EiKjUimU r has an interesting article entitled "The Renaissance in China," from which we have gathered some facts on the great men 'tal awakening iu that country. It was the lesson taught them by their invaders which showed them they had something to learn, for within a year from the close of hostilities, large bodies of Chinese troops might have been seen under for eign drill-masters on the very ground where they had been defeated. Arsenals, with ma chinery from foreign countries, were at once I nit in operation; one of them employing nine lundred workmen; and navy yards w ere estab lished where the construction of steam gun boats, entirely by native mechanics, is now go ing forward. At three of the open ports tiny Lave established schools for the study of the languages and sciences of the AVest; and in con nection with the arsenal at Shanghai, the Manda rins have employed three gentlemen skilled in the Chinese language to translate works on sci ence and the useful arts. It can hardly be supposed that there is no opposition to these innovations;-the masses of he people are unprepared for them. Their pre judices against foreigners continue, and they oppose the Introduction of new arts and sciences as they do 1V ,luw religion. Indeed, the-e people, who may he called the conservative element, believe, that these innovations are but means enir ployed by missionaries to ir.trodu.-e the Chris tian religion among iheni. Fortunately, the pro-j;uk-iVe party is the party h )U-r, l..,l(Ui!g U highest offices under the Government, and tho learned clftc. . Tho advantage is, therefore, entirely with them, and whatever cause they advocate will be respected by the people. Another Important phase in this movement is a growing desire for books of science among the literary classes, some of whom contribute liberally for the publication of scientific works, nnd feci repaid by the honor of having their mimes Associated with the advancement ol learn ing. To meet this demand for real knowledge, the Viceroy of Kiangnan is bringing out a series of works on scientific subjects, mostly by Euro pean authors, cnitd-oving at a high salary, In the capacity of editor, a learned native who received his instructions from Knglish missionaries. Among these is Euclid, with a preface by a Chinese scholar, in which he replies to the com mon charge that missionaries take advantage of mathematics to propagate Christianity, byadmit- ting the fact and setting forth the transcendent value of religions truth. Among the recent publications in China is one from a gentleman of wealth and rank, on engi neering, and another by the same on chemistry. This writer lately published an essay In a Chi nese newspaper, in which he discussed the scien tific labors of missionaries, and the advantages and disadvantages of foreign Intercourse. He docs ample justice to the advantage derived from the piirehiise of foreign arms and for the protection which foreigner extended over the open ports during the late rebellion in that country. Yet. on t'ie oilier hand, he thinks that the "advanlagi s derived from foreign commerce are not sulhcienl to nuke amends lor the e ils to which it has given rise.'1 "lint the benefits,'' he adds, "which u c dei ive from the teachings of missionaries arc More than we can enumerate. '' This learned and nolih; mail then recapitulates the publication ; of luii-sionaries on scientific subject-, commencing with the .Icsuit fathers two centimes a'o. and coming down to those of the rroest:mts ol the present flay, and elo-.es with tin- renia'-k: ".Ml thee are the works of missionaries; tliev are well adapted to augment the knowledge and quicken the intellect of China." This is remarkable language from a Chinaman, and what makes it more so is the fact that he is not a Christian. Neither is he an idol iter, lie seems to have shaken off the lailh of his anees toi'Sj but. is not yet prepaied to receive the spiritual teachings of Christianity. Rut a great deal has been gained by the confession of such men that the influence of Christian mission aries lias been beuelieial to the people. It ap pears tliat the opinion prevailing in China is that the people are on the ce of a great moral and intellectual revolution, in support of which they bring forward a saying of one of their sages of aiuiquhy, that '-ft is the prime duty of the sovereign to" seek tho renovation of his people.''

This decree, with the preamble that precedes ft, is an evident prot I of the most biuefaieed cruelty. The prologue is the song of praise of a conduct which has not been observed. The proclamation Is the otticial sanction ot practices that have been en forced for three months.

Cubans On the lMli of January the Spanish (icne ral oeeiipied'the place whereon Kuvaiuu once had stood now covered Willi rubbish and ashes. Almost three months have passed since the fatal day, nmi this period is stained with the blood of hundreds of uetuns and the burning of their quiet homesteads. W hile the "illustrious" Count, hiding his obesity in the tower of Zai ragoitia, keeps up the appear ances of an indulgent tyrant, his soldiers and the Spanish volunteers hateful tools of a thundering Jupiter of modern times murder women, children, and old men, hum houses, roll, violate t lie wife lic iore her very husband, kill the child before its lather, and invent, iu their Kiry, horrors that the most bar barous ferocity would shudder at.

And while lie authorizes the execution of these Im pious slaughters, do yi.u know the protection he otters to the women taken n.v toreo to the rums ol lliijiimo and Jiguani?

On the :inth of April last the London Daily AV,r published the following: The reason why (icneral firant will not recogni.e the Cuban Insurgents, as it is given in the telegram or a correspondent 01 a contemporary, seems per leclly suitlcieiu. It in thai the Cuban insurrection cannot sustain itself without aethe loreigu aid. i Ins, it may be remeiub-red, is what our own cor respondent had previously stated in Ins letters. If a contrary Impression had gained ground iu this country, it was owing to proe lings in the House ol Kcpresentatives Hl Washington ol a kind very liable 10 be misunderstood m this country. 1 hat House laid pn,eil a resolution to the elleet that whenever the President should think proper to exercise the discretion vested In him by the Constitution to recognize w oiban insurgents as lawful belligerents, it would siipoit him tin the face of it, this w,is a resolution which could commit nobody to anything. As an ub'e New York journal observes, "As far .is the President is concerned of course tlie resolution is simple boih. It will be the duty of the president to recognize the existence of a state of war in l id'a whenever there is a war; and iu discharging this duty he will need the sup port of the House to the same degree, and no nunc, us he needs Its support iu simiing hum or composing his annual message.'' 01 eourie it urgiu-N a very hnvAenv of imlitical responsibility, to say the least, that a minority of the House should bu toiiiid wnnpg to support a resolution that laid no tMi'-r td;ect i nt. to ,;ai the sj-ec.i.'.pers w.'iu in! now- trying to persnsde the American public that there Is a desperate "struggle" going on hi Cuba, and that it Is their duty and Interest to help It; but prsetlesl im portance the resolution of the llonse has none. The Cuban Insurrection appears to he very much like th Fenian Insurrection of 1sr.-67 In point of extent, resources, and success, and while It remains In this state Is as little likely to be recognized by a soldier like (irant s the Fenian Insurrection.
