BUTLER'S PHILOSOPHY OF WAR.
Frm tht N. Y. Times.
Tbe cost of war is understood. The profitable
ness of foreign war, cspeelally with Great Bri
tain, Mr. Butler undertakes to prove. J (in great
argument is that "it would stop importations."
To bring about this result lie 1b anxious to Issue
a proclamation of non-lntereourse. That would
produce the blessing he covets. Importations
from our largest customer will then ceone, and
untold prosperity will Immediately crown all
tranches of home industry.
This is the idea as Mr. Butler presents it.
Bnt in this shape It is too Imperfect to he
satisfactory, nnd we anxiously await Us more
complete development. The' stoppage of im
portations we can understand. But "the con
(cqnctices of the stoppage- will not, Mr. But
ler explain what they would he? What does
he propose to do with the enormous sur
plus products of our labor, a very large
proportion of which now iiml their way iulo
British market ? How does he propose to
reconcile the Western farmers to the losses
and inconveniences which the closing of
foreign markets will entiiil ? Then thero are
the public creditors how docs Mr. Butler
propose to take nu'u of them ? They are paid
gold interest; and the gold rc.ichcs the Govern
ment in the shape of duties upon Importations.
"Stop the importations." mid how will the Trea
sury get its nold? And without gold, how will
the Treasury keep faith v illi the national cre
ditors? iStill ngain, how docs Mr. Butler proptue,
to reconcile Mr. Boutwell to the collapse of hi
policy? These are a lew of the many Inquiries
which Mr. Butler's theory suugests. " We trust
that they arc not wholly "unworthy of his atten
tion, liis willingness to undertake another war
is heroic. The philosophy of his method of
coercing Britain is profound. But there are
practical dillicultics in the way which seem to
need a little explanation.
"FRKK RELIGION."
J-Yom the X. Y. World.
Boston appears to be "breaking out" all over
with social boils. After having its had blood
stirred to cutaneous exposures by the working
Avonien's movement and sundry other ellorts to
ring its dire iniquities to the surface, it is now
about to exhibit the spectacle of a free religious
movement, to be engineered by the Rev. O. B.
i'rothinghain, really of Boston, but now of New
York. The assemblage of free religionists who
are to convene in Boston to-dav will be
composed of Jews, Spiritualists. Trancenden
talists, Atheists, Pantheists, Materialists
members of nearly every religious aud
irreligious denomination, "except the or
thodox, fin Massachusetts ami the outer
land. Such persons as Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Wendell Phillips, Julia Ward Howe, Rabbi
Adler, Thomas W. Higginson, and David Was
Bon all of Boston beloved are to address the
convention. What is to come of the projected
discussion, except that those who engage in it
w ill agree to disagree, who shall pretend to pre
dict ? At least the world without and within
the Christian Church may anticipate a splcudid
display of rhetorical pyrotechnics from some of
the speakers; and, whether the Christian Church
be grievously abused or taught some prudent
lesson, nnd whether unbelievers receive light or
not, Boston will have again enforced its chronic
determination to rasp in some wise the sensi
bilities of mankind,
HONORING OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS.
From the y. V. Times.
The Executive Committee of the Grand Army;
of the Republic have issued an address, an
nouncing to the public that they adhere to their
original purpose of setting apart Sunday next
as the day for decorating the graves of the fallen
Union soldiers with flowers; and they call fr
contributions in aid of this praiseworthy object,
in regard to the protest that has been made in
various quarters against devoting Sumlai) to
this purpose, they say they think due con
sideration lias not been given to the "simple
and sacred nature of the ceremony." They add:
"We feel that the pious act of strewing tlowers
upon the graves of our departed comrades, whodicd
to make the nation worthy of a I'liristlan Sablmtli,
nnd of all other blessiinrs, Is a sniictir.viiur rather
than a desecrating act, and that lis influence as a
custom, annually recurring, will be to rellne and
elevate those who observe it in the spirit of its con
ception." This is an entire mis-statement of the point
at issue. No objection lias been made in any
quarter to the simple ceremony of strewing the
graves wih llowers nor is this, by any means,
the whole of the performance described by the
committee as being so simple and sacred. The
day will be given up to a grand muster, parade,
and procession through our streets of all
the military of the city. Bands or music
will accompany the procession, and the whole
affair will be marked by all the noise
and commotion which " are inseparable
from such occasions. It is against this, and
not at all against decorating the graves of
the soldiers, that the religious portion of our
neoole urotest. Thev regard it as In violation
of their rights, a gross disregard of the laws of
the State, and a needless and ostentatious defi
ance of the moral and religious sentiment of the
community. No good reason has been given iu
anv ouarter for having this parade on Sunday,
rather than on Saturday; and while the attendant
crowd will doubtless be larger, it will not contain
a large portion of our citizens whose sympathy
nnd uid are greatly to ne ucsireu.
ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
From the -V. Y. Herald.
What is the meaning of the excitement in
England over the Alabama dispute? Why does
nor statement . of the case give rise to so much
irritation there? Is it not something quite out
of the ordinary channel that a whole nation of
i nsnei table beef eaters and ryeery shopmen a
w.tutwi imd ioeund ueonle. from his worship on
the bench to cabby at the Vomer -should thus
fall into paroxysms of outraged virtue and
startled decency because we, their dear friend
tiiis side the water, have ventured to tell
tiwm )ow we look at tire matter In dispute be
tween us ? Surely this ought not to be a very
... .ff.nn. Esueciiillv it ought not to be an

gotten villany of other days some act of tur
pitude that their own partial reasoning had
almost brought them to look upon an a plceo of
upccial Tirttio. There is a disappointment that
congest the liver and utterly destroys the
temper of your avaricious old trader doomed to
witness the success of energetic younger rivals in
the same line, and there is a bilious bitterncs of
spirit that makes a hang-dog roguo of the cham
pion prize fighter ruled out of the ring for a
trick of Uriking foul. England's present wrath
has something of all these qualities in It, and It
docs not answer what wo have said, but only
gives unconscious utterance to her appreciation
of her present place among nations.
Disraeli was more than half right in the saying
that England was rather an Asiatic than a
European power. England's best hold for em
pire is in India nnd in her trade with China.
She is at the end of her tether with regard to
development even In that direction, and now
begins to fear that she cannot hold what she
has. She has for a long time seen tho growing
power of the United States in that quarter, but
did not fear it; for she measured our foreign
policy by the expressions given to it by
such secretaries as Mr. Seward and by
the general unformed character it ha'l
before the war. Now, for the, first
time, in view of such a stylo towards her
as appears in Mr. Sumner's speech, she discovers
that there is another great power In the world;
that the people on this side the Atlantic are dis
posed to assume anil to hold that place among
nations to which thdr strength ami vigor jintly
entitle them; thatlmcre must lie a change in the
relative power of the nations of the earth, and
that this change must most, especially be made
to her disadvantage. England's irritation at Mr.
Sumner's speech is excited, not because it states
a case against her on this old, old argument, but
because it is the first practical fulminatioii
against her traditional policy and power of the
great people of the luture because it announces
what she feels must be her doom.
THE REGIMl7AT MADRID.
F'nm the JV. 1'. Tribtnu.
That was a happy inspiration of Punch's
Shakespeare when he wrote, doubtless iu memo
ry of the Bourbon establishment. "The labor we
delight iu physics Spain." Don (ionale. Bravo,
once the keenest executive of Oucen Isabella's
wronghcadeduess, as inspired by his own iniquity
as a politician, has again come to light as an ad
viser in the house of Bourbon. The more liberal
of his countrymen seem to estimate him as the
personal quintessence of whatever is adroit and
dissolute in Spauish statecraft. He is now, if any
thing, a delighted laborer in the cause of secret
and open mischief ngainst the present regime of
Madrid. Queen Isabella promises to abdicate if
the Cortes will be rash enough to recognize
her son, the Prince of Asturias, as King. The
proposed abdication might be something more
than a powerless resignation sent in nfter rout
and disaster. The Queen means to say that if
the Spaniards will set up the house of "Bourbon 1
once more, she may not be eager to urge the in
vasion of her country by her adherents under
(asset in the south of France. Her secret
agents may cease trying to excite revolt among
the more bigoted and incorrigible portions of
the kingdom. She may endeavor to refrain
from keeping it in that chronic condition of
fever excited "by the witchcraft of royalty, even
when discrowned, disgraced, and be
draggled. Some might " think that with
such self-denial Spain could be saved a
war nt home and an island abroad this, too,
though the Queen's ex-Captain-Gcneral, Concha,
is almost in despair about it. and the Queen s
organ, the. uaulwts. surrendered the case ot Cuba
three months ago. Gonzalez Bravo, on his part,
views the situation more hopefully for his royal
mistress. In short, he vetoes the abdication, if
that be possible. We suppose, then, there is
still a fair-seeming field for intrigue in Spain,
and a mass of corrupt material fit for the iufu
sion of the poisons of Bourbonism; else so cun
ning a politician as Bravo would not count upon
the shreds and patches of power which are left
to Isabella. We cannot believe that the Spanish
revolution will go backward; but the talent for
retrogression which such men as Bravo possess
is both malign and earnest.
lale the Cortes has debated upon monarchy
and the Church we are glad that its tendencies
and feelings as to the need of a decided gov
ernment have so far consolidated as to make
it probable that Marshal Serrano will be made
Kcgciit. J ins is, nt any rate, one step towards
decision. The Cortes, after voting the national
Mivercignty as a fixed principle of the Spanish
Constitution, elected the monarchy as its torm
of government, and now all that remains Is to
choose a king. Whether a king shall be made
out of native clay, as Garibaldi suggests to the
republicans, or whether he shall be bought
from among foreign wares, is the Spanish
jirotilim. llie decimation oi rernando ot
Portugal discouraged the king-makers, and the
candidature of the Duke of Aosta was likewise a
failure. 'Of all those who were, nominated for
the throne, the Duke of Montpensior alone holds
out with any vitality of claim. Since one of hiu
relatives has publicly described nun as a cold
hearted nnd narrow-minded man, and the Libe
rals of Spain appear to have no love for one un
distinguished for prowess or talent, Montpeusier
hardly otters the material out oi which sove
reigns of popularity arc made. A large and in
fluential element win resist the lataiity ot his
imposition on Spain. It may be as easy in time
to make a King out of the Regeut, the Duke
de la Torre, as of one who has never
been Regent, and has never been mili
tary, or statesmanlike, or popular, or
Spanish the Duke of Montpeusier. Logically,
Serrano's chances for the sovereignty ought to
be as good as thoso of Montpeusier. We are
aware that the latter Is powerfully favored by
Admiral lopcte, whom some call the harragut
of Spain a very Spanish Farragut at that; but
Montpensier, if chosen by the Cortes, will, It
seems, be forced upon It. Tho latest dates, how
ever, point to the possible choice of a son of Don
Fernando ot rortugai, who is to connect him
self by marring with the house of Montpensier.
In any issue it is important that the Spaniards
t-hall decide themselves out of all danger of
anarchy.
Abclard Lopez de Ayala has resigned from tho
Spauish Cabinet, wherein he was Colonial Minis
ter. We arc rather glad of that. Ayala pro
mulgated the unjust and deceptive law by which
the Cubans were to be cheated ot a great part of
t lie franchise due them. He was also accused of
having retarded all patriotic effort respecting
the abolition ot slavery, aud ot having been an
instrument of the more inveterate and powerful
class of slaveholders iu Cuba. All that wo know
of him Is that the laws which he has Issued
to the Cubans have only added fuel to their lire.
A FINANCIAL APOCALYPSE.
From the X. Y. World.
That a financial personage of eminent rcspec
lability should suddenly turn out to have been
tor years a systematic swindler, all his magnifi
cent enterprises the music or tno meanest, dis
honesty, and all his oppressive reputation n
cloud of gold dust to blind his fellow-creatures'
eves withal, is neither new nor surprising, n is
not new; tor, though r.ngiaiiu no longer nangs
her Dodds and her rauntleroys, and even Ame
rica only iu rare aud exceptional cases seques
trates the genius of her Monroe fcdwardses in a
penitentiary, yet the annals of tho last decade
in both countries teem with cases of confidence
misplaced on the most colossal scale. It is not
surprising; for it is clear that nobody but a nvm
of the best repute financially is ever likely to get
into a position in which he can swindle his con
stituents ou a really graud scale; and it might
poBsibly be a hazardous remedy, eveu lor
great recognized evil, to naopnne ruie unit none
hut connrmeii rogues bhcuiu ever oe put iuio
places of financial trust nd responsibility.
But a case of fiduciary infidelity which has
I list come to light iu Brooklyn, though neither
: : I- I.. ...If (...,!,., I...
new nor surprising m unuu, imu tuiuuiuni
the singular elreuuistuncts in which the revela
tion lias lecu made. ... .
Kom tiin sinoc'oncoi those penouicai massa
cres which men and coroners' juries call railway
accidents occurred on tna i.ong isianu noau. a
uumlier of people were instantly ana riorriwy
killed; a number more 'mutilated aud Injured.
Among the lormer wa wcu-iuunu iraiuom ui
Mr. Bcchcr's City of fifiiirches a man of ma
the president at tho time of his death of a Broflt
lyn hank, and, to nse the stereotyped phrase,
"enjoyed the fullest confidence of tho stock
holders and the public."
Tho unhappy man wns crushed almost out of
the neniblance of humanity, nnd his mournful
end was duly commented on In the press and
from the pulpit. His successor has since taken
possession of tho chair vacated by him In the
parlor of his bank, and the conviction has been
slowly forced npon that successor's mind that
the esteemed nnd valued financier In whoso seat
ho now sits had, In one way and another during
his presidency, contrived to misuse, appropriate,
and Imperil several hundred thousand dollars,
the property of the bank or of Its depositors.
In all this, wo rcneat, there Is nothiug new
nor surprising. The striking nnd peculiar
feature of the case Is, that these dismal facts
should have been made known only through
a catastrophe, Itself tho result of fiduciary
Infidelity of another sort. Had the Long Island
Railway been kept in proper order and properly
administered, the chances are that the defalca
tions of the President of the Atlantic Bank of
Brooklyn might never have been known of men.
This president was a man still In the vigor of
life. His conversions or malversations of tho
bank funds appear to have been made in the
interest of a variety of speculative operations in
which he was engaged, cither as a principal or
as an associate, and which were still working
out at the moment of his sudden and dolorous
death. Had he lived, those operations, it is
true, might have resulted
so forced him before the
criminal. But, then, they
resulted prosperously, in
might have gone" on,
and honors, to a green old age
disastrously, and
public gaze as a
might also have
which case he
full of years
and died, leaving
an example to all the young luttingtons
and Greshatns of his town" and time. It will
hardly do to claim that his sudden destruction
was a special visitation of Heaven to punish bis
infidelity to his trust; for in that case we should
be forced to conclude that Heaven may makej.i
railway director careless about the murder of his
passengers in order to make a bank director
careful about the money of his depositors.
Without Involving ourselves In moral problems
nt once so Intricate and so insoluble as are thus
suggested, however, let us but consider
how painfully probable It is that there
may be among us scores, if not
hundreds, of conspicuous financial and
commercial magnates whose reputations
might be just as dismally compromised as
was this of the Brooklyn bank president, were
they, like himself, to be peremptorily hurled
out of their accustomed spheres by the "breaking
of a rail or the collision of a couple of trains.
The fevering influence upon all men's minds the
world over of the vast and sudden increase in
the world's wealth and commerce which has
aken place since the discovery of California and
Australia, and the development of sounder prin
ciples of trade in the policy of the world's
greatest mercantile State. Great Britain: and the
special demoralization of men's minds in this
ountry by the passions and the crunesof a great
ivil war, have conspired, we fear, to make but
too sadly just the recent declaration of a bitter
English writer, that "thieving is the rule, hon-
sty the exception, in the modern world of com
merce and trade.
