REFORM AND REVOLUTION IN GREAT
BRITAIN.
From the jr. Y. Urald.
Nerer, perhaps, were British statesmen
more completed at their wits' end than the
are at the present moment. The situation,
truly, is peouliar, we think unexampled. A
creat work of reform has been ooomplished,
and the most aristooratio and exolasiTe of
rovernments has been compelled so to extend
the franchise prirllege or right It matter
little whioh we call it that the British empire
has ylrtually beoome a demooraoy. Another
vreat work of reform has been undertaken.
U'be Protestant Eplsoopal Churoh in Ireland
hs for two and a half centuries, at least, been
working mischief and breeding all kinds of
misery. There has arisen a class of statesmen
who hare the hardihood to look evils in the
face, and who have besides the pluok and
daring to make an effort to remove them.
The disestablishment and disendowment of
what iskaown as the Irish Churoh are settled
bo far as the House of Commons is conoerned.
The House of Lords, whioh is Tory to the
fcaokbone, may kick against this measure, and
It doubtlesB will klok; but the House of Lords
Is powerleBB to resist. In a few weeks or
moaths the Irish Churoh bill will have passed
into law, and the greatest and most radical of
Irish grievances will have ceased to exist.
The revolutionary spirit In Great Britain has
demanded and has obtained thus much; bat
the revolut!onaryapirIt, whioh is by no means
local, refuses yet to be satisfied. This is its
bour and power of triumph, and it seems de
termined to go on conquering and to oonquer.
The late reform in the eleotoral franohise has
mightily Increased the power of the peeple
and the power of the people's House of Parlia
ment. The people have begun to look on the
Lords as a simple obstruction to be got out of
the way as soon as possible. The Lords them
selves, feeling how weak and helpless and use
less they are, have begun to ory out for re
form. They are not in harmony with they
are not equal to the times. With a praise
worthy foresight they have set about improv
ing their order. It is not easy to multiply the
titled arlstooraoy, for the titled arlstooraoy
must have wealth If not lands; but if men of
property and large wealth cannot be found in
enfflolent numbers, men of brains are surely
to be had. The idea of life peerages has oome
to the reBoue, and one of the most aristooratio
members of one of the most aristooratio fami
lies has successfully introduced a bill into the
House of Lords giving shape and oharaoter to
this Idea. Democracy has thus forced its way
into the Hely of Holies of the arlstooraoy of
England; and when thia bill is passed the
House of Lords will be an aristooratio assem
bly no longer. Some of the old leaven
for a time will remain; but henceforth
the most exolusive of assemblies will be
reduced to the level of the Senate of
Franoe or the Senate of the United States.
The people, the Lords no longer, will rule the
British empire. This, however, is not all.
The spirit of revolution is insatiable. It is
not enough that the ariatocraoy are on their
knees and that they have given up bo muoh.
The cry la still for more, and more must be
conceded. It was Mr. Gladstone's hope that
the removal of the great eoolesiastioal griev-
anoe would touch the Irish heart and call forth
Irish sympathies. Mr. Gladstone's opponents
said that thus to yield to Irish demands would
only whet the Irish appetite and intensify
Irish hunger. The result has proved that Mr.
Glad j tone's opponents were right, and that he
was wrong. The ory of huDger has become
louder and more desperate. Mayors of Irish
cities glory in disloyalty and make heroes of
assassins. It was a noble deed, they say, of
O'Farrel to shoot Prince Alfred. It will not
be wonderful if another O'Farrel, catching
inspiration from the Mayor of Cork, should
make au end of Prince Arthur, now on a tour
in the Emerald Isle. Agrarian violenoe has
hurst out afresh, and Ireland, to judge from
all outward appearances, is at onoe more
. . 5 . , i .i
aisoonieniea ana more aieioyai man ever.
aieanwnue me uovernmeni contemplates an
1 additional reform. Land tenure in Ireland ia
said to be a bicker crievanoe than the domi
nant and favored Church. Land tenure, it ia
said, is to oommand the immediate attention
of Parliament. Revolution and reform thus ,
, eo hand in hand.
What we said at the outset we repeat the
situation is neouliar and embarrassing. British
institutions are becoming more and more
l Amerioanized; levelling principles are at
work; the people are rising abeve the oll-
. garohy; but the progress of reform does not
' quiet, it rather enoourages the spirit of revo
lution. . In view of important outstanding
questions, the situation in the British Isle3 is
; really serious. In the event of a war with
" this country Ireland to a dead oertainty would
be up in rebellion. The foroes required in
Ireland would thus rob Great Britain of muoh
Of her flennlve and defensive strength. A
ft war with any European power would beget
similar results. While thia is true in regard
to Ireland's share in the great question, it
i ought not to be forgotten that in the other
portions of the United Kingdom the crown
' and the government have serious difficulties
to oontend with. We have no desire to Bee
the world shaken by horrid war. We know
'' well that for all offensive and defensive pur
poses Great Britain is yet mighty and danger-
.i ous. A great foreign war might for a time
Stifle domebtio discontent and give to the dis-
1 cordant elements a temporary unity. Nothing,
- however, can permanently check the progress
, of reform. Tbe gulf that separates the people
from the aristocracy narrows day by day. The
' late Reform bill was a mighty leveller. The
Irish Churoh bill Is step in the same direc
tion. The Life Peerages bill is a march to
quioker and more revolutionary music Im-
Jirovement of land tenure in Ireland will fol
ow. The game laws all over the three king
doms are doomed. Tbe law of entail is not.
perhaps, worth ten years' purchase. Fifty
. years henoe in EBgland ' the olaims of long
desoent" may be of as little aooount as the
claims of the latttat parvenu. Meanwhile the
. revolution goes on, and it is for ns, as specta
tors, to watch and note its progress.
1 THE QUAKERS AND THE INDIAN -BUREAU.
' From the N. Y. TriOutie.
In the days of Puritan power in England,
it was enacted that no one should hold offics
unless he possessed "real godlinosa." The
ghost of Praise-God Barebones' Parliament
-baa been reanimating the political dry bones
around Washington. The habitues of the In
dian Offloe have been startled by the speotaole
Of white neckcloths, and broad-brimmed hats,
. and loeg brown coats in their sanctuary,
While snuff-colored apparitions, hugging anti
quated umbrellas, xniiigle with the publicans
and Blnners of that delectable locality. Can
didates for agencies and superintendences
Stand aghast. The shibboleth is the word
' "Friend," written as a prefix. The hopefula
' looked no their genealogical tree to see if they
i could stumble on a Quaker. Let the hat
' makers note that broad-brims are to be the
fashion In Washington. Some have claimed
that the Presidont (or at least Mrs. Grant) was
a Methodist; it is now evident that the former I
is engaged In a deep conspiracy to inorease the
Society of Friends. .
A little while ago, and we were at a loss as .
to wnetner wo wmo " -
have raved on the question whother Blaok
Kettle was a murderer or a martyr. Congress,
too busy or too lazy to examine the Indian
question, voted two millions, and threw the
responsibility on Grant. He, happily, remem
bered that there was a religious body in the
very bowels of whioh was the law: Thou
shalt not kill. Equally anxious with Con
gress to divide responsibility, he invoked
their aid, and at the same moment gave us
the latest development of the platform: "Let
us have peace."
What is to come of It ? We neither wish to
disoourage nor to frighten the Quakers, but.
to arouse a healthy emulation, would remind
them that the reputation of the brotherhood
is at stake. Far be it from ns to disoourage
thee or thou; yet we would mildly suggest
that the brunt of the battle is still to oome.
That which Congress was unable or unwilling
to do the President has put on their shoul
ders. Let those who have a goose-quill for
the totem of their class remember him whose
ancient footprints have grown into greatness
by the banks of the Delaware. Fiat justitia
mat Culum.
To tell the honest truth, it ia a difflmlt
business. What shall we do with those who
have resisted all the seduotive allurements of
whisky civilization f How shall we induoe
them to copy the habits of the whites, espe
cially those of ruffian frontiersmen or rascally
agents f How get them to adopt a civilized
life and government like ours, with suoh a
brilliant speoimen to model from as the Indian
Bureau?
Teach them to work. It ia cheaper than
killing, but be not deluded with the hope that
it will be easy. First shepherds, then agri
culturists. Try it patiently, honestly, faith
fully. It is a noble field, and bears with it the
blessing of God and the praise of posterity.
It is indeed a grand work. God offered the
opportunity to our country, and the President
offers it to the Quakera and the Christian
Commission.
We think Congress might have done better.
We think they owed their country and hu
manity something more than an undigested
two million dollars thrown in the tail end ol
an appropriation bill. They did not give it.
They had two weeks' debate for the Tenure-of-Office
bill, but no time for a question inter
locked with our progressive civilization and
that may affect our prosperity and honor to
day and forever.-
We look upon the broad brims not without
hope, and yet with fear and trembling. To
them has been oommitted a task for .which
Congress has almost confessed itself incompe
tent. The stake ia great, yet the risk eminent.
If clergymen had been invUed to the task we
should have expected to see the most worth
less portion of our modern priesthood coveting
a share of the work. Your political preaoher
generally falls in the effort to oompound be
tween God and mammon. We would caution
our Quaker brethren. Let them see to it that
the best they have speak for them. The publio
will aocept it now; but in the end will want
other evidence of integrity besides a broad
brimmed hat. To pick out this one sect as a
peaceable and upright body is a high compli
ment, but carries grave responsibilities. Let
them beware whom they reoommend. Let
them Bee to it that no jobbing contractor hum
bugs them. Fifty years of misgovernment
comes to their hands for a settlement. It is a
ticklish experiment, and carries with it the
hope of the Indiana and the reputation of the
descendanta of William Penn.
THE SITUATION IN SPAIN.
itaii the y. y. Times.
The tenor of all recent despatches from Spain
shows that the Idea of a monarchy has virtu
ally been abandoned for the present. As we
antioipated, the search for a monaroh among
the membera of the existing royal families of
Europe haa long been given up as fruitless,
the only man who was likely to be able to
benefit the country Don Fernando, of.Porta
gal having promptly deolined the throne,
while there seems no prospeot whatever of
attaining anything like unanimity either in
the Cortes or in the country in offering the
crown to any one else. In the mean time the
probability is that Serrano ia to be made
Regent, and Prim President of the Counoil
and Minister at War until a king can be
found. And we do not know that the Span
iards can do much better. Prim, who baa
been accused of personal ambition, and a de
sire to aoquire supreme power, has disclaimed
all such designs and announoed hia steadfast
adherenoe to the motto of "Honor and
Liberty." And even if he were desirous of
making his present position a stepping-stone
to absolute power, we doubt the possibility of
a successful coup d'etat against the will of the
nation on his part. If, of course, the people
choose at any future time to make him per
manent President, Diotator, or Emperor, or
whatever they may choose to call it, they can
but there ia no real danger to Spanish
liberty from his present position or his con
trol over the army. Neither is Serrano likely
to aim at converting hla Regency into a per
manency. Hia personal character stands
high, and he has probably been selected for
the temporary chief magistracy on the around
of his freedom from designs of personal ambi
tion. Both Serrano and Prim, as well as all con
cerned in the administration of affairs ia Spain
during the interregnum, have vast opportu
nities for benefiting the country before them.
The finances are in a deplorable state, a loan
can only be raised at a discount of seventy
per cent., and a large deficit is anticipated in
the budget for the current year. If, as seems
to be the case, the idea of a monarchy ia so
congenial to the traditions and feelings of
the Spanish people that they will persevere
in their demand for a hereditary ruler chosen
from a royal house, their only way of seou
rii g one is by giving proof of come capaoity
for self-government, and offering evidences of
material progress already accomplished.
ihtn, indeed, they may hope to induoe some
one who would be of service to the nation and
do credit to the throne, to aocept It. It is true
that, up to the present time, neither Serrano
nor Prim has exhibited any very marked
administrative ability, but neither has any
one elsH connected with the Provisional Gov.
errment. They will at least, we may hope,
cany on the Government respectably, main
tain law and order, and give the Cortes the
chance of legislating for the best interests of
the country in peace and quiet.
TWADDLE BY TELEGRAPH.
J'Vom ffce A'. 1', Wui hl.
Everybody has heard of the great phllo
logical bore who had aohinved the proud dis
tiuutlon of being able to make a fool of him
self in sixteen ditterut languages. The story
reours to one foroibly ia reading the incon
ceivable trash which a varUty of people in a
variety of plaoea insist on pouring forth upon
us. by telegraph whenever an event of real or
?resumed importance takes place. It a ally,'
t almost shakes one's faith in the future of
civilization to see how little the development
of our mateiial prosperity seems to have to do
with our improvement In morals, in manuers,
or iu mind.
Ccusider for a momeut the results of the
opening of the raolfic Railway. Not that the I
Pacific Railway really ia "opened" ai yet
in the sense in whioh its direotora use that
word, for a telegraph annonnoement that a
specimen cargo of teas from Japan will be sent
by rail to New Yerk ia not preoisely identical
with a general transfer of the wealth of Asia
to the marts of New York. We speak only
of the "celebration" of the "opening" afore
said. The establishment, no matter how Imperfect
it may be, of continuous communication by
rail between the Atlantio and the Pacini
Oceans across the whole American continent,
is certainly a grand and Btriking event. Caa
not a publio man feel it so to be without
standing on his head and wiggling his heels
idiotically in the air f Is it made more grand
and striking; are its grandeur and its impos
ing nature made plainer to the average mind
by saying of it, as Mr. Oakey Hall, sitting in
the "Executive Department" whatever that
maybe of the New York "City Hall," saw
fit by teWgraph to say of it to the Mayor of
San Franoisco, that "apart from the relations
of this grand event with Christianity, politi
cal eoonomy, civilization, and patriotism, it
justifies the metropolis in the pardonably self
ish expectation to soon become the commer
cial exohange of the world f" or that "in
Old Trinity, at the head of Wall street, a T
Deutn now imparts thankful harmonies to the
busy hum about her walls f " Without paus
ing to ask by what particular process a Te
Dtum in Old Trinity can "impart thankful har
monies to a busy hum," we should like to
know how the "selfish expectations" of this
or any other "metropolis" can be "pardon
able" if they are "apart from," and bo at
variance with, "Christianity, civilization,
political economy, and patriotism T" We
could wish, for the Bake both of "the metro
polis" and of its Mayor that Mr. Hall had
recked hia own rede, and had really believed,
aa be pretends in hia extraordinary despatch
to believe, that it waa not "neoessary
to tender San Francisco by mere words
fuller magnetic sympathy." Mayors,
from the days of that dignitary of Folke
stone whom Queen Beaa bluntly called
a "great fool" and bade "get off that Btool,"
have had a large lloense of absurdity. But we
really think Mayor Hall abuses even his
official license. It does not mend matters for
us that there was a general craokling and
sputtering of silliness and oommon-place along
the whole line. Tbat Promontory Point
should notify the land, "we have got done
praying; the spike is about to be presented,"
was not a very sublime way of putting things;
but, then, Promontory Point is an out-of-the-way
place on the frontiers, and may be par
doned for showing less autheiio culture, not
to cay less oommon sense, than the "metro
polis." As much may be pleaded by way of
exouse for Tuttle, a colleague, we believe, of
Nevada Nye, who sprang np somewhere
among the Rocky Mountains with a "spike of
gold, silver, and iron" in his hand, and pre
sented the "offering of Arizona to the enter
prise whioh haa banded the cmtinent and
dictated the pathway to commerce."
These things, however, all have a common
origin. They orop out from the growing
desire of pigmies all the world over to perch
upon pyramids; from the prurient itohing of
Insigninoant ana impatient little great men to
hear the echo ef their own voices and to see
their own names in print. For this reason.
especially, should they be shown np ia their
true light whenever, as now, a lust oocasion
provides the rod. It ia really disheartening
to be inns perpetually rorcea to leei now true
It is that
"It cannot conquer boodledom,
Tinie-aiid-spiice conquering steam ;
And the lliflit out-speeding telegraph
Hears bosh upon Us beam."
THE
SO-CALLED FOURTEENTH AMEND
MENT.
From the K Y. World.
Chief Justice Chase haa very righteously
upset that absurd deoision of Judge Under
wood, under whioh a general jail delivery of
au tne ieions in Virginia waa tnreatened. It
appeara that thia fellow Underwood took the
ground that, on the proclamation of the so-
called fourteenth amendment being valid to
all intents and purposes a3 a part of the Fede
ral Constitution, such judges in Virginia aa
were disqualified thereunder became at onoe
ousted, and their judicial aotion thereafter waa
ab initio null and void. Hence it came to
pass, as these judges kept on admlniatering the
law, that the sage Underwood granted the
habeas corpus to all criminals as fast as con
victed before them, and bo left the
good people of the State without
remedy against crime. At this stage
of the game the Chief Justioe holds court in
Richmond, revises the deoision of the worthy
YT.. 1 ..... 1 f .1
v naerwooa in tne premises, reverses mat de
cision, and declares the oonviotions before the
Virginia judges good oonviotions and of right
to be followed by the punishment adjudged
thereon. One view of the Chief Justice in
thia decision of reversal ia, that the fourteenth
amendment the so-called amendment, we
would eay, by no meana admitting that that
patch is a part of the Constitution "ia not
self-enloroing;" and to juatify thia view there
is eertalnly the fact that there is a seoond
Bection of It which deolares that "the Con
gress shall have power to enforoe, by appro
priate legislation, the provisions of this
article." There ia no imperative demand
that Congress shall enforce thia amend
ment, but merely that it may if it
will. To-day there may be a Congress in
favor of enforolng it, and that, in faot, Kill
enforce it; to-morrow there may be another
Congress which is not In favor of the amend
ment, and not only will not euforoe the article
itself, but even repeal the enforolng acts of
the prior Congress, as it Indubitably may.
This, then, leaves the so-called fourteenth
amendmenidettitu'e of what the lawyers call
a Bam tion that is, an enforcing power of
any higher validity than the will of the Con
gress for the time being. We had the honor
some time since to observe to the brethren
that there were magnificent openings in their
ramsnacK e legislation wnerethrougu to drive
coaches aud-f on r, and now invite their atten
tion to this particular aperture whioh is evi
dent in the statement that the so-called four
teenth amendment "is not self-enforcing."
Of course, while radicalism pollutes the high
places of tbe Rtpullio, these points of law are
perhaps matter of laughter rather than the
bases of sober action; but tbe o ream of the
joke is, that on the aeoest-ion of the Demooratlo
party to power and auoh aooession is, sooner
or later, erne It will be fully made evident
that that organization can address itself to
the good of the people unfettered by what the
loyal mean, but do not know how to make,
'Irreversible guarantees. I
