POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
Tho tendency of the feminine mind to loose
and lianty gcncraliation was well illustrated by
Uic miiart remark of the yoiinir woman who lec
tured lat Fridav evenitii? at the Cooper J nxti
tuto. "Politics." 8ho Bald, "to-day means uu
Indecent scramble for olllcc. where every man
in for lilmself, and the Devil takes tlio hindmost.
As for tho forem.t. they are already safe In hU
hands." Hefore irointr one line further wc ben;
leave to call the attention of this lady to a com
mandment reputed to have lieen specially de
livered from on liiiili: "Thou Mialt not hear
false witness against thy neighbor."
In order to fully appreciate the breadth of this
lady's accusation. it must be remembered that
a larjjc majority of all the men in the L'nited
states are living, earnest, active politicians.
Whether they call themselves Democrats or
Republicans, they maintain an unllii:;iii!r in
terest in public nllairs, read and listen that they
may understand them, vote, each according to
his conviction, and, to speak briefly, make noil
tic a part of the business of their lives, f his,
we be; leave to say, makes them politicians. It
is uross injustice to use the word in a bad senso
alid without qualification. If women should
be admitted to the suffrage, tln,u would be poli
ticians. If Miss A. D. should be elected to
Congress (as she tells us she expects to be), she.
too, would be a politician, unless she should
rcl use to have anything to do with politics as a
Comjrcsswonmn. in which case her Congres
sional career would be a short one.
There Is one point upon which we must set
this youm; lady rlijht. She fancies that she has
Bounded the depths of our political depravity,
and that she knows all the sins and iniquities of
our political operations. lUess her innocent soul!
she knows nothing about it. We arc a hundred
fold worse than she thinks us. Having been all
our lives enfijucd in politics, trying nevertheless
to keep a gootl conscience, we are free to own
that, from one point of view, they are rather
nasty. We wish it were otherwise. Wc have
done what we could towards a general purifica
tion, with no great result, us, iu mortification of
spirit, we confess; for human nature is botli
vigorous and vital; the rogues will join us, will
(ell their votes, and will help to hoist fellow
rogues to olllce. In short, if we may be per
mitted to express an opinion, tho millennium
has not yet arrived. Whether it will be here day
after to-morrow is more than we kuow, but
we fear that a coming so speedy is hardly to bo
expected.
.Now, if from the Republican party (Divine
grace having given us the power and sagacity
to do it) we proceed to eliminate all the rogues
and rascals all persons who according to Miss
A. D.'s charitable judgment, are 6afe in the pos
session of the Devil to make the lady's remark
of much value, the spared remnant should be
small Indeed hardly enough to save Washing
ton, to say nothing of New York, Philadelphia,
and Chicago, and'putting Albany altogether out
of the question as not to be saved even by a re
giuient of the righteous. Now, does any hones
man, however active he may be as a politician
believe this to be a probable result ? His own
(sincerity and single-niindedness, he knows. He
has faith iu the truth and conscientiousness of
his neighbors. He trusts them in trade; he takes
their word, whenever there is occasion to do so;
and why should he refuse his faith in all airs of
public relation ?
If we consider the matter from still another
point of view, we shall find that if ever the
political devil was unchained, it was during
the half-dubious days of the Rebellion. The
merely self-seeking politician did his worst to
ruin us, with what sucee-ss all the world knows.
The momentum of public virtue carried us safely
through, and nothing else could have saved us.
There was u very considerable opposition to the
re-election of Mr. Lincoln how happened it
that he, pure, noble, single-minded, thoroughly
honest, was re-elected? The mere traders for
ofllee could hope for nothiug from him; the ad
vacates of a dishonorable and cowardly peace
knew that his face was set like Hint 'against
them; every wretched doughface was scowling
at him; but he was carried again to the place of
enormous and unspeakable responsibility upon
the shoulders of the grandest constituency which
the world ever saw! Was this a victory of politi
cal vice or of political virtue?
Again: men in ollice are human beings; some
of them are honest, some of them 'otherwise;
but a wholesale accusation of them disproves
Itself, for if all of them, albeit they call them
selves politicians, wore absolutely seltlsh and
irrevocably sold to the Devil, it is evident that
his Majesty would take that opportunity of
tumbling all our institutions into his very deepest
and hottest pit. In other words, an absolutely
corrupt government, void altogether of virtue,
could not go on for a day. There must be a
little leaven left in the lump. There must be
something to save us from undistinguished ruin.
We put forward these suggestions with due
modesty. We are answering the accusation of
a lady. We are guilty of being one of Miss A.
P.'s politicians, and all our lives we have been
bo. But we say nothing for ourselves. We
would only utter one humble word iu behalf of
thousands of honest and honorable "politicians"
whom it has been our good fortune to kuow.
THREATENED SCHISM AMONG EPISCO
PALIANS. From the A. J'. World.
While the Presbyterians of the United States
ure eudeavoring to clove up the division iu their
ranks which has separated them for thirty years,
the Episcopalians of the United States, after re
maining united for more than a century, are
threatened with a serious and perhaps a fatal
schism. Tho irrepressiblo contllct between the
"Protestant" and the "Catholic" party iu the
Church has broken out Into opeu war. and fifty
six clergymen belonging to the Low Church
wing of the organisation have united in a call
for a convention, to be held at Chicago on the
ltith of Juue, for the purpose of preparing for a
accession and a setting up in business on their
own hook. These are the days of the
lifting up of testimonies, and of late we
have been called to listen to many very
earnest appeal from divers eeeluslasticul
bodies; but this protest of tho Protestant Epis
copalians exceeds them all in impassioned fer
vor, not to say bitterness. It had been fondly
hoped that tho temporizing policy adopted by
the bishops at tho (icucral Convention of the
Church held in this city last summer would suf
lice to preserve peace within the Church until
the meeting of the next convention in 1871, by
which time, as was believed by the "Catholic '
party, the entire Church would have been won
over to their views. Thus tho quarrel which
was frequently on the point of bi caking out
in the House of Delegates was smothered
and tho bishops, sitting iu secret con
clave, kept their own counsel. Hut just as
Jn 185'J the'' Democratic and Whig National
Conventions solemnly resolved there should
be no more aeritatiou of the slavery question,
only to find the country convulsed iu 1854 with
the Nebraska bill fl-lit aad the Kamus war, so
do the bishops now see that their resolution to
suppress tho agitation of the ritual question has
only resulted in the breaking out of a fierce
contention, and a proclamation of secession on
tho purt of lifty-six of their clergymen. For
tho movement originating at Chicago, aud
united in by these lifty-six clergymen, residing
In fourteen different States, mcuus secession, If
It means anything. They do not expressly say
BO. it Is true; and we know that, just as tempe
rance lneu always talk temperately, clergy
men who are, In an especial manner, men
of peace arc prone to use warlike aud com
bative languago, even when their Inten
tions are iiucllic. But nothing cnu bo plainer
thau the declaration of these fifty-six clergymen
that, lor the evils against wuien mcy protest,
there is no remedy save In secession. They
Teusou Just its the Southerners dld'Wheu they
declared that nothing was left for them but u
disruption of the Lulon: '"Our autugoulsts arc
n ii.n mniorltv: the control" of the machinery of I
thc (lotcrnment is in their hands; they are bent I
on their own course; the minority, so long as It
remains In the Union, is powerless; n must wun
draw and set up for Itself." "No hopo of reform
or release from unwarranted ecclesiastical thral
dom can bo expected In tho future official net
of our (Jcnoral Conventions," exclaims the call
for tho Chicago- meeting, which bid fair to
bo as rnemoniblo an event In tho history of
the Church as tho Charleston Convention
of 18(H) is in the history of the nation. "A
succession of measures, legislative and
judicial, on tho part of a ruling majority, pro
scribing and repressing the principles of Evan
gelical Episcopalians," continue tho protesting
Protestants, ' unmistakably indicates the policy
that will bo pursued hereafter." Just as tho
Southern leaders deemed it impossible to remain
and fight for their rights In the Union with any
hope of success, so must these clergymen feel
that under the circumstances It Is useluss, and
worse than useless, to longer attempt to iiriko
headway in the Church as it exists against "tho
doctrinal errors and superstitious practices that
arc becoming widely prevalent, and which
threaten the rapid extinction of its Evangelical
and Scriptural principles." Fearful, Indeed, Is the
catalogue of these "false doctrines and super
stitious practices" which the lifty-six clergymen
recount as the proof of the assertion that "a
powerful party dominant in the Church is not
only devoid of sympathy with the Protestant
spirit of the ngc, but in many cases hostile to its
aims.- principles, and institutions." There is
manifested, say they, on the part of many high
In authority, "a desire to ulliliate with the cor
rupt Roman and Greek Churches." Touching
the coro of the wholo controversy as with the
point of a needle, they declare that "a sacer
dotal system is made to take tho place of the
simple Gospel." The "saving grace" of the
sacraments is taught, and, instead of limiting
tho sacraments to the two recognized by Pro
testants, three others arc enumerated as hav
ing"an outward sign und an inward grace."
Transubstantiation Is "almost baldly taught;"
the "Manual of Instruction for Confirmation
Classes," by Rev. Dr. Dix, laving it dowu that
the thread 'and wine used in the Eueharistic
sacrament "undergo a mystical change, whereby
they become the forms under which Christ is
present, after a manner inexplicable
and without a parallel in the range of our know
ledge, not bodily or "physically, but
supralocnlly, hypcrphysieally, and" spiritually,
in some way believed" hi by the Church, but
kuowu only to God." The confessional is
advocated; "puerile and cumbersome cere
monies" are substituted for "sober"
worship; tho principles of the Reforma
tion arc derided and denounced; and "the grand
historic name which expresses them is repu
diated with scorn." From the pulpit "priestly
claims" are put forth, and into the services of
the Church an unspiritualizing symbolism" is
introduced. Co-operatiou with other Protestant
bodies is opposed and ridiculed; "their ministry
is denied and coolly committed to uneovenanted
mercies." And Mui'iology is taught by ascribing
to the Blessed Virgin Mary the titles of "the
Hringer-fortli of God and the Ever-Virgin
Mary." All this is continuation strong" as
holy writ, in the opinion of the lifty-six
protesting Protestant clergymen, of their
assertion that "a scheme exists to under
mine the Scriptural foundation" of tho
Protestant Episcopal Church "on the specious
plea of a revived Catholicity," and is sullicient
not only to justify but to constrain them in pro
testing nguinst these "teachings, innovations,
machinations, and devices for unprotestanti.
ing this Protestant Episcopal Church, corrupt
ing her doctrine, debasing her worship, and
overturning her loii-enluhlishcd rites, cere
monies, and usages." As it is useless to hope
for reformation or relief inside of the Church,
they must seek it outside: and the French gour
mand who complained that wo had a hundred
religions and one gravy, will have to add one
more to the list of our sects without a corres
ponding addition to the number of our sauces.
This movement cannot be surprising, although
it limy be grievous, to those who have watched
the progress of the so-culled ritualistic senti
ment in the Episcopalian Church, and have re
membered at the same time that the Protestant
right of private judgment was secured to any of
its members who chose to exercise it. Leaving
the theological view of the case out of the ques
tion, it is interesting to inquire what is the
prospect for the success of the movement for
secession ? It must be observed that, among
the fifty-six clergymen who have given their
adhesion to the movement thus far, there is no
bishop. Perhaps, however, Bishop Mcllvaine,
who is about to discipline one of his clergymen
for tho offense of ritualism, may go with the
seccders, if they so secede. If not, what
are they to do for bishops when they
have set up for themselves ? Aud how are the
questions which will arise concerning the church
property to be settled? Shall we see the civil
courts appealed to in order to decide whether
trinity tJburcn, which was endowed lor the
purpose ot maintaining one lorm ot religion,
has so lar departed lrom Mint laith as to torteit
its right to its property? Of these fifty-six pro
testing clergymen, ten are in jncw ork, six in
JNew Jersey,. two in Iowa, ten in f ennsylvania.
six In Massachusetts, six in Ohio, two in Ken
tucky, seven iu Illinois, and one each In Michi
can, Rhode Island, Maryland, Maine, Tennessee,
and Mississippi. The number, compared with
that ot the entire number ot clergymen belong
ing to tho Church, Is small; but they are enough.
if they remain iu their present temper, to rend

THE WORKWOMEN'S MOVEMENTS.
From the X. Y. Times.
Let our workinirmen flsrht It out. if thc.v like.
against the laws ot political economy which all
the rest of the world have long ago found it use
less to oppose. If kept withiu bounds at all, no
great harm, we think, will come of it. But, at
all events, let them make no more sacrifices
about it thau necessary. Let them remember
that they, have an old, well-established good
name to maintain. J'.ven Don Quixote, in tilt
ing with windmills, kept up his dignity and
sense of personal worth.
i et really, in looking over the reports of the
numerous strikes and "cight-hours-law" meet
ings, one cannot help asking himself the ques
tion whether our laboring men are losing, not
simply their old Intelligence, but their old self
respect. It seems that they sit patiently listen'
lug by the hour, not only to absurd fallacies
about the relation of capital to labor, but to ap
peals carrying the idea that they have a pecu
liarly hard lot, and so are entitled to peculiarly
generous treatment. These are strains of abso
lute whining, such ns the fathers of these men,
so far from indulging in themselves, would have
never listened to from others for an Instant.
It is high time that our laboring men who are
so concerned about what is due to them from
others should ' begin to consider what is
due to themselves. All this lamentation and
complaint about their condition unworthy of
them. They arc not the poor unfortunates
demagogues would make them out to be. Their
round day's work is not the peculiar hardship
they represent. In some shape, it is the lot of
all men who deserve to l-o called men, of nil
human beings who are not content to be mere
drones, sluggards and loafers, pests and burdens
to M.ciety, Instead of a benefit. And nowhere is
this ot more inevitable than in this free young
republic of ours, with Its magnificent destinies
yet to be worked out. Nowhere is the attempt
to .shirk that lot more discreditable. Complaint
from American freemen of labor as a misfortune!
by, the only unfortunates arc those who can
uot labor, not those who do and can. The stal
wart sinewy men who make up those mooting
are the ast objects for pity in tho world Itls
an abuse of language for such Americans even to
style themselves poor. Men with souud miuda
and sound arms are not poor. Real poverty In
this land is to be found only in orphan infancy,
languishing sickness, or decrctild age, or other
conditions which make labor Impossible. The
inero lack of tho superfluities of the rich does
not make a man poor, for every element of true
well-being and happiness muy, and usually does,
lie outside of these.
The superior condition of tho American la
borer Is abundantly shown by the undisputed
fact that no other laborer In tho world gets any
thing like ucU wages, aud that laborers overy-
whero else sock Amorlca ai a land of comnnra-
tlve case and plenty. You seldom or never hear
an American workman complaining of his hard
lot without seeing iu him a bad npocitnon. He
is iinuoHi euro io oo one who nas made himself
unhappy by Ills own misconduct, nno who hai
sught success whero success is never found in
any vocation soinowliere else than in his own
crscvcring Industry, sobriety, and frnmiii v.
J'bc only positive result of all this work I ii-riti-m a
agitation is just this same positive evil, ""it de
moralizes tho younger and loss experienced por
tion of the laboring elus, saps the
manly, Independent, sclf-controllln" spirit
which should animate them, (luit'mni-
and unsettles them, makes them ever
ready to curse their fate for trials which belon '
to every human condition, und ever prone to
look away from themselves for relief. It is this
which insensibly shapes so many of these in -n
into mere tools lor demagogues, speculators, nu I
all kinds of selllsh schemers. The time w.i.
when the average American workman
soon have thought of denying the broad davli"ht.
Hsof ignoring the truth that labor isa commodity
whose price, like that of every other commo
dity, must riso or fall according to the rela
tion of supply to demand, lie no morn ilre.uned
of quarrelling with this law of the nature of
things than of quarrelling with the law ot gra
vitation. In that day strikes were unheard of,
and all devices to force up wages to an unnatu
ral level. Least of all did the absurdity get cir
culation that eight hours' work should brin" the
price of ten hours' work -that a market com
modity curtailed by a fifth should bear the price
of the whole. The plain truth was universally
understood and acted upon, that the best Inte
rests ot the workman and employer are in-tcna-
rably connected: that no matter what the sphere
or gradation, all engaged had a stake In the
common prosperity. There was. then. hwu
feeling ot self-reliance aud l crsonal liidoixm-
donee which would have made it morally im
possible for workmen to delegate to a committee
or association, ns they now so often do, the de
cision whether they should continue work, or, in
other words, whether they should continue to earn
their own living. There was too much of the
pride and jealousy of American freemen, at that
day, to allow an American workman to subject
his dearest domestic interests to the will or ca
price or passion of others. Such a spectacle as
that witnessed In the Pennsylvania coal mines.
three weeks ago thousands of workmen sud
denly throwing down their implements and re
fusing work or affecting to refuse work, and
paralyzing the industry ol three teeming conn-
nes, aim an nuiioui me lensl Knowledge ol any
cause or reason, but simply because orders to
that effect had been received from a so-stvled
Central Committee. ' namely, a dozen men
who probably had been tampered with by un
scrupulous speculators, bent upon raisiny the
price of coal such a spectacle, we sav. never
wa, and never could be, seen in this country be
fore this present agitating generation.
This new spirit, wc believe, cannot have a
very long run. It is in conflict with the whole
cuius ol our Institutions, with all the sense and
character of our peoplj. Like all other follies,
it must encounter the correcting lessons of bitter
experience. In unlikelihood it will die out in
due tune, and American labor will be itself
ain. The great tiuestion is: How much mis
chief will be wrought to itself, and to tho capital
that employs i. belore that happy consumma
tion is reached!" It should be the mutual endea
vor in the meantime to cut down that amount of
mischief as much as possible.
CUBA AND THE SISTER REPUBLICS
OF
AMERICA.
From the X. Y. Herald.
The Cuban question grows apace. A
few
weeks since we announced the opening of the
ports of Mexico to the Cuban flag, by special
decree ot f resident Juarez, and the last mail
from South America brings t he intelligence that
Peru has formally recognized the new republic.
Chili, it is stated, will do the same, and we may
reasonably expect that all the sister republics of
America win ioiiow at an eanv nay. j tiey all
have a feeling towards Spain similar, but far
more intense, to that which animated the people
of the United States towards Great Britain dur
ing the lirst generation after our war of inde
pendence. That feeling was not satisfied until
it culminated iu our second war with England in
18ia, and a like result is evident in all the South
American colonies. In fact, war exists to-dav
between Peru and Spain, the truce between the
belligerents having been extended to enable
peace to be restored through the good otliees of
our Government.
In addition to the request for recognition, tho
Cuban envoy in Peru has asked for a loan of the
two monitors recently purchased in this country,
and one of which was examined by some of tho
republican oniciais during a short visit to the
Bay of Nipe. in Cuba. The spirit which ani
mates the Cuban government, and which will
produce fruit in some if not in many of tho
thousand ports of the sister republics, will bo
seen in an extract from a private lettor written
by General (juesada to a naval officer in this
city. The writer of that letter holds the im
portant positiou of commander-in-chief of the
patriot forces, aud it will be seen that he looks
lorward to combinations winch shall drive the
Spanish ships from the sea. Our own experience
during the late war shows how great Is tho evil
which may be inflicted by a single armed cruiser
against merchant vessels. Spanish ships are no
exception to the laws which govern commercial
transactions, and intercourse between Cuba and
Spain would find a refuge only in powerful ships
of war or under a neutral flag. e should see a
return of the condition of affairs in 18:50. when
the complete disappearance of the Spanish flag
from the ocean marked the era of greatest decay
iu the monarchy.
W ith the state of feeling which the Cuban re
volution 1ms brought out iu all the Spanish-American
republics, we shall not be surprised to see
nil their ports opened to- Cuban cruisers and
their prizes a measure which of itself would
give a great impulse to tho war against Spain,
both on the part of Cuba and Peru; and a rup
ture of the peace negotiations between the lat
ter power and Spain would be no very difficult
matter to accomplish. The vital point in the
question would be the attitude which the
United States might assume. If Mr. Secretary
Fish should determine to carry his interpreta
tion of our absurd neutrality laws to the
extent' of trying to suppress "American sym
pathizers with free Cuba, we might "find
ourselves In an anomalous position. One
of these anomalies would be the fact now
before us. Spain is building thirty steam gun
boats in our shipyards, and we could not refuse
the same privilege to any of the sister republics
that might ask it. But "should it lie denied by
Mr. Fish, there can bj no doubt that American
capital would find a way to put cruisers on the
ocean against Spain, if" there were profit In it
and harbors to use, und we should find our Gov
ernment and our citizens engaged in a very
strange conflict with each other. These anil
similar embarrassments are destined to spring
up continually as the Cuban question grows
aud it will grow, for it is the living question
among the nations of the New World to-day.
The complication opens a field of vast extent
for a truly American statesman, and we hope to
sec some one occupy it. With all her curious
crotchets about and against us, wc owe a debt
i to Spain that it would well become us to repay
to her to-day In the hour of need ol her new and
freedom-impelled movement. She was one of the
first of the nations of Europe to recognize our
independence iu days when tlft) founders of our
republic were beset with enemies, and doubt
attended them on every hand. To-day she is in
stress from the complications which attend both
her home government aud her administration
In Cuba.
Let the l'nited States propose") that a truco
shall be established between tho belligerents in
Cuba, and that commissioners shall bo sent by
both parties to Washington to see If some ar
rangement cannot bo made between them, satis
factory ulike to tho honor of Spain and Cuba
and consonant with the interests of both par
ties. That such a solution can bo found wo do
not entertain a doubt, and when found it will
contribute largely to tho establishment of the
new government now germinating In Spain and
to the general lutercsts of all the sister republics
of Aumrleu.
A WORD TO Y0UNC1 CUBA.
From the X. Y. 5n. ,
lias It ever struck the Directory of tho Cuban
Junta In this city that there are well, just say
a few too ninny youug Cubans In this city for
the benefit of their causi? In all the elegance
of unexceptionable clothes, with fresh glove
and patent leather boots, they throng our fashlon
able assemblies, our leading hotels, and our pub
lic laces of amusement.
o do not throw out this hint for any benefit
likely to be derived by tho flghing "men of
Cuba from any such assistance; because If the
hearts of these pseudo-exiles were in tho cause,
they would long since have found their way to
one' of the camps of tho patriot army. But the
animadversions on the absenteeism of these
young gentlemen are so frequent and so univer
sal us to have become a byword.
We believe the sub)ccts"of these lines are prin
cipnlly from the larger cities, particularly from
llaMiiie, the sons of wealthy men, and utterly
unused to the hard life aud out-of-door exercise
which is the habit ot their eompatr'oM of
Camauegy and of the Eastern district. If, how
ever, they cannot be induced to risk their lives
for the liberation of their country, it would be
as well to remove them from public view and
public contempt.
The Cuban Junta and the Cuban ladies have
proved that they are all that is required for the
progress of the'eause in this city.
