MR. ROUTWKLL AND SrEClE PAYMENTS.
From the X. Y. World.
rn-nUkMit (irnnt, In his iiiiitiifiirul ullrens,
mcntionod nn early return to ppcclc I'Mymcnt
u one of the foremost object to '"' "iniL'il nt in
the policy of the (iovorninont. 'I his inuy not
have beeii u very diiiruciim observation, but It
was certainly n very correct nnd xotitid one. It
required no wurneity to nmke it: it whs u mere
echo of w hat had been a thousand tunc repeated
by men of m'mc and rellection in every jiart ol
the connlry. It i" as obviously true as it is that
linaneiul liealtli is preferable to financial disease.
AxHUiiilntC. as a position too evident for con
troversy, that an early return to a sound cur
rency in desirable, it Is natural to ask whether
the policy of Secretary lioutwcll promises to bo
conducive to that end. Is the course on which
lie has entered calculated to render the resump
tion of specie payments more easy or more dilli
otilt? It is clear enough that the Secretary of
the Treasury has lost siicht of that object en
tirely; that he is inanairir as if no such thinic
was "in his present contemplation, or could ever
be in the contemplation ot t'onirress.
Of course, we can never return to specie pay
ments without a considerable uanttty of specie
in the country. The banks cannot safely ven
ture to resume without nn amount of specie in
their vaults eUal to a fourth or a third of their
circulation that is to say, seventy-five or a hun
dred id 11 lion dollars in uold. Bui where are the
hunks to procure it? Obviously from the Trea
sury or nowhere. Their preparation for resump
tion, whenever they do resume, will consist in
the substitution of reserves of gold for their
present reserves of greenbacks. This exchange
can he made only at the Treasury. The fjreen
back reserves arc a debt due by the Government
to the banks. When the Government is pre
pared to pay this debt, and not before, the banks
tan fret ready to resume. The preparation will
consist in the transfer of seventy-live millions of
gold, more or less, from the Treasury to the
Vaults of the banks. Such a transfer presup
poses that the Treasury will be in possession of
at least that amount of gold. Mr. BoutwelTs
policy of emptying the Treasury of its gold
must disablo it lor supplying the banks with the
means of resumption. It caunot transfer to
them what it does not possess Itself.
It is evident that specie payments cannot he
resumed by the banks until they have been pre
viously resumed by the Treasury. The Govern
ment "will probably attempt to keep a ltirtre
iimount of its own notes in circulation after re
sumption. But it will be indispensable fcr it to
maintain a gold reserve to support the credit of
the notes and fulfil its promise to redeem them
on demand. It will need about the same propor
tion of gold to notes that is requisite for sustain
ing the circulation of specie-paying banks. But
when the Government has parted with all Us
irold in pursuance of the policy of Secretary
Jloutwell, it must, by some process, get it back,
und even increase the amount, before it will be
5n a condition to resume. If there is any cheap
nnd intelligible method by which this can be
done, is not yet apparent.
Mr. Boutwell seems blind to the fact that the
exportation of bouds to meet adverse foreign
balances must come to an end, and that lie is
hastening the end by his purchases. When the
exportation of bonds falls off or ceases, one of
two consequences must follow: cither we must
import fewer goods and stop the adverse foreign
balances, or we must settle the balances by the
exportation of specie. Whichever of the two is
done, the Treasury canuot replenish its dimin
ished supply of gold preparatory to resumption.
If importations are stopped, the customs revenue
will fall off, and the Treasury cannot collect srold
enough to pay the interest on the public debt,
much less accumulate a surplus for resuming
specie payments. If. on the other hand, the
' imports should continue to be in excess of the
exports after bonds are no longer available to
discharge the balance, a steady stream of gold
must flow out of the country until our supply of
gold is exhausted. Mr. Boutwell's contemplated
pales will furnish facilities for the large drain
and rapid exhaustion. And when the gold is
gone, how will the Secretary get it back?
Neither he nor anybody can tell. Nobody is
able to see how the" Treasury is then to be re
plenished and the banks supplied witli a sulli
cicnt amount of gold for the early resumption
of specie payments.
President Grant, who is responsible for the
management of the Treasury by his Secretary,
has already forfeited t lie promise, made in his
inaugural, that his administration would aim at
the earliest practicable resumption of specie
paymeuts. To tell out the gold in the Trea
sury is a public advertisement that this admin
istration does not intend or expect to restore
the currency to soundness; that it does not even
look far enough ahead to see that we must cease
10 export ooiuis m large quantities; that our
email supply of gold will then be sent abroad;
that importations must afterwards fall off by
lack of means to pay for them; and that the in
evitable consequence will be, that the Govern
ment cannot collect gold enough to meet the in
terest on the public debt. This chain of se
quences consists of such obvious truisms that it
is amazing that a Secretary of the Treasury
tliould Ignore or disregard them.
THE NEWS FROM CUBA AND THE NEU
TRALITY OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
IVom the X. Y. Herald.
The war in Cuba srathers intensity and charac
ter. There appears to be more formality in the
military operations of the patriots, and the re
ports of Spanish victories come with less fre
quency and less bombast from Havana. Our
special telegram on Monday advised us of the
lauding of a small expedition near the port of
Gibara, und that lighting of a serious character
has taken place in the jurisdiction of Cienfuegos
and Trinidad, in which the Spaniards do not
claim to have obtained their usually asserted
triumph, with utter annihilation, to their enemy.
These are pregnant sins. The expedition re
ported to have landed is probably one of two
' which have left this country recently.
The lirst of these was under the direction of
General Jordan, who was chief of staff to Gene
ral Beauregard during the siege of Charleston,
and left here about three weeks nifo. It com
prised an assorted cargo of munitions of war.
with a good prcportion of small arms and artil
lery, and carried something less than two hun
dred and llfty men. Its destination was Port
1'adre, on the northern shore of the island, about
ten leagues west of Gihuru, thirty leagues east
of Nuevitas, which is the base of present Spanish
operations in the Central I'epartment, ana thirty
leagues distant from iuaimaro, the present re
sidence of President Cespedes. The other expe
dition was u small one, organized at Key West
by a number of students of tiie Havana Univer
sity, und which was ready to leave Nassau on
the evening of the 10th instant, on the steamer
Salvador. It comprised a small cargo of arms
and ammunition, w ith about, one hundred and
thirty young Cubans. Whichever of these two
expeditions be the one that has lauded in Cuba,
its material of war will be a welcome supply to
the patriot forces.
The rciiorts of serious fighting in the lurlsdic
tion of Cienfuegos and Triuidid are the morcie
markahle ill view of the fact that the Spanish
Minister at Washington, a few days since, i'or-
umllv announced to Secretary Fisli that the
revolution was ctleetiially suppressed in that
reirion. and would soon be extinguished through'
out the island. This locality is the extrenu
wsterii limit of the revolutionary movement
to-duv, and is contiguous to the Western Depart
ment of the island, where the Spaniards claim
i,. lmvr. twenty thousand organi.eu, disciplined
and enthusiastic volunteers under arms. Auy
portion of these who are willing to take the field
could be thrown in thirty hours by rail and
steamer into Cieufucgos. The fact that a Jew
lit.,.rni,.fl cmiiitrv bauds should be able to give
ii... :,wi.rtmient. (rouble in this region, would
Becm to prove cither that they were not us ellee
tuallv put down as the Spanish olllcials recently
claimed they were, or that the thousands of mad
volunteers in Havana are not so ready to tak.0
It seems to us, n c.thn observers of the con- I
diet, thnt while the proceedings of the Cubans I
are exhibiting more signs of organization and of
operations customary in regular warfare, the
ctlorts of the Spaniards exhibit less vigor and
resource than they did at first. In their stress
they arc placing greater reliance on tho action
of our Government to deprive the Cubans of the
material of war. Tims we see the strange
anomaly that, while the Spanish olllcers are
pushing undisturbed the construction of thirty
gunboat in fuir shipyards, the Cabinet at Wash
ington details a United States armed cutter to
watch one little steamer in New York harbor,
because the Spanish otlh ials suspect that she is
preparing to go t Cuba. The ground for th'n
action is the asserted requirement of the neu
trality laws.
It will be well if the cold-blooded and cow
ardly Secretary of the State Department at
Washington does not involve the administration
of President Grunt In a general burst of obloquy
from our own people and subject it to tho con
tempt of every Cabinet in the civilized world.
The idea that seems to animate him Is that tie'
so-called neutrality laws of this country really
bind the Government of the United Stales to ail
alliance offensive and defensive with Spain to
preserve the outrageous tyranny she exercises in
Cuba, nnd that, too, at the very time when the
Spanish people have, by a glorious revolution,
overthrown it at home, 'in this policy Secretary
Fish goes as far beyond the true policy which
should animate the Government, and the true
feeling of the people of the United States, as lie
did when he so timorously stated that he wished
to wait and see what England said about Sena
tor Sumner's speech before he wrote the instruc
tions of our new Minister to London.
The neutrality laws, properly interpreted, aim
to restrain enthusiasts from getting up expedi
tions in our midst to introduce war in the peace
ful dominions of our neighbors; but when do
mestic tyranny has forced nu entire people to
overthrow a despotism and establish a living
and free government by the side of the shrink
ing form of misrule, no past diplomatic cour
tesies can ever be interpreted by a live or great
statesman as obligating him to be false to the
true interests of his own country and to the
freedom-loving impulses of all mankind. Com
pared with a Canning, a Cavour, a Bisinark. or
a Louis Napoleon. Secretary Fish shrinks to
the dimensions of a pigmy in the presence of
Titans. President Grant owes it to the dignity
of this nation and to the reputation and honor
of his administration to recognize the true law
of our neutrality in this crisis, and to require
that a petty and cowardly adherence to an illogi
cal interpretation of forms shall not demean us
in our own esteem and in the appreciation of
the world by making us the effective ally of a
hateful, despised, and waning despotism.
A NEW ECCLESIASTICAL SCHISM.
From the X. Y. Fhiu
Close upon the announcement that the Rev.
Mr. Tate lias been presented for trial in Ohio
for uoiiconlorinity with the doctrines and wor
ship of the Protestant Episcopal Church, comes
a call Iroiu Illinois for a general meeting of the
"Evangelical Clergy and Laity of the Protestant
Episcopal Church" in Chicago next month, to
discuss certain vital questions which have been
"forced upon our consideration by the situation
and perils of our time-honored nnd hrloyed
communion." In other words, the controversy
between High and Low Churchmen, which has
been perceptibly increasing in intensity, until
thu two parties are separated by a wide breech,
is about to be brought to a" head. The Low
Churchmen are to have a convention, in order
to put their opinion olliciaily on record, and
determine upon some definite plan of action.
Hitherto they have acted for the most part indi
vidually, but henceforth it is expected they will
form a compact and cllicieiit body, prepared to
enforce their peculiar iews of doctrine, disci
pline, and ritual, or to secede and organize an
independent branch of the Church iu the United
Slates.
The call does not state the latter alternative
in so many words, but its general drift indicates
clearly that the signer.- arc prepared for and
indeed anticipate such a result. "No hope of
reform," they say, "or release from unwarranted
ecclesiastical thraldom can be expected iu the
future ollieial acts of our General Convention.
It would be premature in this call to specify
what action ought to be taken by those to whom
their Protestant heritage is unspeakably preci
ous, or to debate the questions that are involved
in this alarming crisis. Those, however, who
imagine that tho best course is silence and sub
mission, have little comprehension of the dan
gers that threaten what is most vital iu our
Church, and the rapid and insidious growth of
error, the leaven is widespread and powerful
To continue inactive is to deliver our Church
over to innovations, doctrines, and a policy that
are destructive of its Protestant character. Are
evangelical churchmen prepared for tills?" A
project similar to that undoubtedly contemplated
by this call was broached previous to the meet
ing of the General Convention of the Episcopal
Church in this city last October, but failed to be
put into practical operation. It was said that
the seecders could not count upon a sutllcient
number of bishops to go with them to const!'
tute a valid episcopate. More likely they hesi
tated to take so decisive a step, and have since
braced themselves for tho eltort.
The call in question is based upon a protest
signed by a number of clergymen und laymen of
Illinois, "against ail teachings, innovations, ma
chinations, aud devices that are employed for
unprotestanizing this Protestant Episcopal
Church, corrupiug her aoetrine, ueuasing uer
worship, and overturning her long-established
rites, ceremonies, ana usages, unu aiso agauisi
certain doctrines aud teachings embodied iu the
last Convention sermon of Bishop Whitehouse
of Illinois, and in manuals of Instruction for
candidates for continuation by the Rev. Drs. Dix
undDeKovcnof this State, the objectionable
passages refer principally to the doctrine of Bap-
tismal degeneration, una 01 tue lieai rresoucc
in tho Sacrament of the Lord s Supper points
upon which High and Low Churchmen have
dillered from time immemorial. Dr. De Koveu
seems also to have Incurred the displeasure of
the siguers of the protest by calling the Virgin
Mary the 'Brinj;cr-lortii of God" ami the '"Ever
Virgin Man'."
It is possible, and many perhaps will think it
probable, that the contemplated convention will
tail ot its object, ise mat as it may, the tone
and language f both protest and call show that
the signers ure In no mood tor concession or re
conciliation, but arc golug Into the contest
against the High Churchmen with the determi
nation to make up In energetic action w hat they
lack in numbers. '1 hey will make a strong fight,
and it will require ull "tho prudence and forbear
ance of theconservathe member of the Church,
who constitute the greater part of it, to prevent
a rupture. That this should occur at a time when
the Episcopalian communion, In both its
branches, is unprcceden'.e.lly prosperous, Is unfor
tunate. The present aggressive movement of
the Evangelicals is also iu curious contrast with
thu efforts making among Presbyterians and
Methodists tor u reunion oi the opposing ele
ments iu their respective bodies.
WORK FOR THE WAYS AND MEANS COM
MITTEE. From the X. Y. Tim?.
The gentlemen of the Ways and Means Com
mittee will not utilize their plea-ant summer
trip unless they so enlarge tlic area ot their in
vestigation that tho commercial and Industrial
bearings of the tariff shall be considered as well
us its mere formal operation. The resolution
under which they act authorizes them "to make
an examination und revision of Tariff laws aud
regulations relating to Custom-houses und
bonded warehouses." The terms are susceptible
of a broad interpretation, and one that niaybo
made to yield some practical good. They cover
inquiry Into the policy of customs duties not less
than into their technical adjustment, und thu
manner of their cnlorcemeut by the olllcers of
the Government; and under this construction
Mr. Schenck and his colleagues may profitably
take the testimony of merchants und others us
to the elici t of high duties upon the revenue,
upon Ihe interests of trade and the pockets of
consumer. The opportunity Is a convenient
one lor revising the statement and opinions
which during the session are thrust upon the
committee hv monopolist and their agent.
The people are not represented In the lobby.
Tho trading classes have neither time nor In
clination to visit Washington, to counteract the
inano'iivrcs of paid adversaries. The hundred
imiiisincit wnicu nave no need of nrninctioiv
nd which share tho common loss nmdm-i-d hv
the present system, are unfamiliar with the
by-ways of the Capitol. All these stay at home,
minding their honest business. When however
Mr. Schenck visits city after citv. urof..ss,.,lly In
search of information, these are tliu very neiinlo
to whom he should grant a hearln .r ill. ;,,.,i-
the monopolists' version of tarilt 'matter very
well. Jle might ascertain the views of the Cus
tom functionaries w ithout the toil and eo-t of
long journey. But It is not every div th.it
he conies within reach of those' who of
all men. are best iialilied to tell ' the,
e fleet of the existing tarill upon the receints of
the Treasury, the welfare of industry, and thi-
ondition of the people. In the uroscentim. ,.r
an inquiry thus enlarged, he may expect to hear
an nlmo-t unanimous condemnation of the pre
sent tariff system, aud of the policy which sin
gles out certain favored interest for enrichment
it the expense of the country. But we must
suppose the committee to be really desirous of
icquiring miorinalion on the subject of trade
Hid taxation. The ten thousand dollars assigned
out of the contingencies fund for the expenses of
the journey should be made to yield a reasona
ble equivalent: and we know of none more rea
sonable than the accumulation of fuels relating
to the abuses of taxation, and the wrongs n-
ineleduiidcrthegul.se of protection. Will Mr.
henek be good enough to hear what the neonle
have to say '(
WAR WITH ENGLAND.
Frm tht .V. )'. Times.
General Butler, though no fool himself, evi
dently thinks t he bulk of his countrymen to b"
such: and this would be a very moderate and
haritable judgment on his part did thev for a
moment listen to his new Alabama claims jioliev.
"The United Slates," he is inclined to think,
would have more to gain than to lose hv a war
with England." We cannot say w hat aiid how
much they would lose, but we can easily see
what they would gain -namely, financial ruin.
But perhaps General Butler, being a teacher of
'repudiation, would reckon any sort of rcpiuii-
ition of Government money obligations to be a
uiu."
"Dissatisfaction nnd dissension." thinks the
General, "exist in every part of the British
dominions, which need only a little fanning to
make a devouring flame." lint have rr no "dis
satisfaction and dissension" in our dominions
no smothered ember which adroit fanning may
uuse to burst into Maine ? General Butler
pinions regarding the present condition of the
South, as one requiring the interposition of
'martial law" a policy lie is said to be at tht
moment urging on the President would seem
to show that our people are not so harmonious
is they might be. We shall be answered that
a foreign war would unite, us again." Why
then, should not u foreign war unite England
ilso, and stop icr complaints 'i What is there in
this sovereign panacea of war that we alone can
ct balm from it for national wound 'i The
truth is that all this kind of reasoning is of the
sort which North and South u.-ed in lStil, when
each was going to give all the bruise and get
ill the protits of war. It is in this spirit, also.
that, while Mr. Chandler tells us "thu Michigan
veterans alone" could take Canada. General
Butler boasts that ''the Irish of New England
alone" could perform the same operation ju
a we were told in 18U1 that the, "firemen of
New 1 ork would "put out the rebellion, not
even consenting to let their brethren of Phila
delphia or Chicago help them. Is impossible
that, alter so recent and bitter an experience of
what bragging comes to, we shall now begin it
all over again ':
But the most astounding argument in favor of
war attributed to (iciicral Butler is t.iat it will
stop importations, and do more for the en
couragement ol our home manufactures than all
the legislation that could lie lramcd in a quarter
ol a century. this is truly a persuasive argu
mcnt, and must make the "free trade" part of
.unerica enthusiastic lor war. Such an argu
mcnt may give lresn vigor to tue Jriinmc in
supporting lis proposition to "i:iko Xanadu in
pavmont;' but ''protection would be considered
a pretty costly luxury, we fancy, should it tils
mean military protection by monitors and a mil
lion men.
I," says General Butler in coming out with
his plan for the General is nothing if not tacti
cal "I would make them settle tins question In
a short tune. And Iiowy "Jn six months or
so," he would. In default of settlement, "issue a
proclamation of non-intercourse." What would
lollow.'
"Then, deprived of a market for her manufactures
her artisans und shopkeepers, thrown out of emiilnv
mcnt und out of business, would institute bread riots,
und rise in insurrection ull over the kingdom. That
would settle the Alabama dlltlculty."
Such is said by our Washington correspondent
to be Gen. Butler s plan. 1 he war Is "not to cost
much" the chief weapon being "bread riots."
And what proportion would "bread riots" bear
to the rest of un international war between Eng
land and the United States? About as much as
did the "slave insurrections, which we used to
figure in IStil, to the whole military power called
out to maintain or suppress the rebellion.
CONCERNING MASSACRE.
Frrnn the X. Y. Tribune.
Early in February the Cuban leader Cespedes
addressed the Government of tho United States,
manifesting, among other things, that in the
hope of speedy recognition lie had not adopted
the policy of reprisals against the constant
atrocities of his foe. The Cuban Junta answer
the charge that the late decree of murder by
Vulmaseda was anticipated by one from Ces
pedes equally merciless. They show indirectly
that Cespedes had paused, as ho himself said,
before determining upon any measure of general
retaliation. His proclamation to this effect, of
which we published a translation, bears date of
the 18th February, and is the one upon which
the Spanish agents rest their defense of Valma
seda's bloody decree of April. After recounting
the cruelties t'ommitted on his captured soldiers,
and instancing his own forbearance, Cespedes
feels provoked to decree "reprisal against the
enemy in its most ample terms; blood for blood:
execution for execution; extermination for ex
termination." These are desperate words, and
uttered by a man of will.
We are Inclined to believe the Junta when
they say that Count Vnlmaseila's order was not
immediately excited by this decree. With or
without a code, lie had, in all probability, been
previously exercising his talent of assassination
In the neighborhoods which he had overawed.
Yuliuuscda is said to possess a fat head aud a
cruel heart, and, like many other provincial
veterans of Spain, is not troubled with piteous
scruples. Hi; must have practiced a great deal
in the art of killing before he could find in his
heart to decree the deaih of all males over fif
teen years of ago found absent from home with
out proper cause, together with the destruction
of houses, und something like violence of a sus
picious sort to defenseless women. The order
of Cespedes following Ids proclamation is more
considerate, since it grants pardon to the Spa
nish soldier and punishes the native traitor
according to circumstances. Cespedes, it here
appears, lias shrewdly availed himself of what
he considers a fierce necessity to direct a deadly
threat against such natives us fight in the Soa-
nish ranks. He may have aimed at the mobi-
li zed negroes ana mtiluttoes of whom wo have
lat.dy heard.
Ihe Junta have not referred to the Spanish
proclamations of massacre antecedent to the
decree ol tespedes, and we shall here endeavor
to rclresh their ana tho general memory. Tin.
first proclamation of Vulmaseda, issued at Vcr
tientes, was a decree of death. On the 18th of
iictoner, iionerai .iena, in l'uerto Principe, offl
chilly directed all insurgents to be shot, and pre
scriuca tho same lute to their instigators and
concealers, un the J'tu ot October, at Mun.a
nillo, Colonel Keguora proclaimed that all resi
dents who aid not show themselves in forty
eight hours should be shot. On tho 17th of
October ticnenu ituvcnet, at Santiago de Cuba,
oruercu an insurgents to Do tried by court-
martiul and snot. orse still, at Munzuiiillo, on
IhelUtuot iocinuer, Vulmaseda attained the
climax ot military barbarism and despotism.
4ie orucreu mat uuer unto lusurgcuts or con
spirators, those who will edit, print, or cir
culate subversive writings or tiers, those who
mav interrupt or destroy telegraphic coinmunl-
atlon, and those generally who may aiu or anei
the enemy, should bo shot. Wo have good reason
to suspect that orders such as these were subsc-
incntly issued by the Spaniards In other parts
of the country. Who doubts that hundreds fell
victims to these butcherly and cowardly decrees
General Cespedes has at least the plea In his
favor of having been most intensely and
nivugclv provoked to reprisal. That his decree
is not an indiscriminate license to slaughter
makes it compur ilKclv inoih ra'e, nut even its
moderation mu.-t shock a public unused to the
spectacle of a war fought out on both sid.M with
all the tragedy of an ineradicable hatred. It is
plain that wc have not yet begun to realize the
savage earnest ol the war in i una. for the
sake of civilization aud of the future, we wish
that we could successfully plead or protest
igainst its horrors.
