OCEAN CABLES AND UNITED STATES
LAW.
From the. X. Y. Trihxme,
Onr French frioiuls who wero ho fust with
tlioir lie w Atlantic cablo find h lion in (ho
Way. The opinion of the Attorney-General,
Which wo pu))liH)io(la day or (wo ago, compols
them to await an express grant of authority
from Congress before limiting their cable, on
onr shores. At first blush this, irrespective of
liny constitutional question involved, may
Beem a narrow, illiberal policy for the Govern
ment to pursue. Our coasts, it would appnar,
ought to bo free to nil comers who bring such
rich gifts. New cables would provoke com
petition, secure lower rates of telegraphing,
increase tho ease and facility of communicu
lion between tho continents, and in a thou
Band way promote the advance of civilizn
lion. Tho more capital can be induced to
enter this business, therefore, and tho more
cables we have, the better. But there are two
or three points in tho case less obvious than
Ihis one, which nevertheless deserve con
isidcration. Tho decision of tho Attorney-General pro
mises to bear harder upon tho French enter
prise, but it affects likewiso the New York,
Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Com
pany. This organization represents that great
ocoan-tolegraphic triumph in which all of us
iako a just pride. Several millions of its stock
fire held in this country. It was tho pioneer
company. Its history appeals to tho sympa
thies of all Americans, and it, as nli feel,
should bo the first to profit by any grant of
tmthority to connect with our shores. To
this company the decision of tho Attorney
General, as we trust, means only temporary
delay. To the other, styling itself tho
Franco-American Company, it may mean
Komothing more. M. lielanger, of Con
federate loan memory, M. Router, whom
Americans have no cnuse to love, and other
favoritos of the French Emperor, havo
obtained from tho Imperial Government
n monopoly of the whole Atlantic coast of
France for telegraphic purposes. Securing
nn organization under British luw, anil
5uttiug forward a British Chancellor of tho
ixeheqner for their President, they have pro
posed, in the singular language of the Empe
ror's grant, to assume, without waiting for
Congressional action, the right to land on tho
chores of the I'nited States, '"between New
York and Boston." Suppose n Mexican com
pany, composed mainly of men conspicuous
in the movements against Maximilian, with
Fome eminent sympathizer among our office
holders for its 1'resident, should assume,
under a grant of our or auy American Gov
ernment, to land a cable on tho coast of
Franco, how long would we have to wait for
French ships of war to warn oft' theiutrnders?
Suppose the provincial authorities of Brit
tany or Normandy should assume to grant
fmch a company the right to land its cable at
Brest or Havre, how long would the Emperor
ho in informing those authorities that such
fiffairs of national concern could not be in
trusted to their exclusive decision ?
We are not arguing against the enterprise
of Messrs. Erlangor and Renter. Wo merely
object to any assumption of privileges by
theso enemies which wo could not properly
grant even to our friends. If they wish tho
jirofltable right of constructing a cablo be
tween France and tho United States, let them
obey the decision of the Attorney-General,
and apply to the United States authorities for
leave. American citizens would have to do
no less in constructing a cable to Franco.
What is fair for ns is at least not unfair for
them.
The English Government has always rof used
its consent to any concessions that were all
on one side. When the Metropolitan Exten
sion Telegraph Company of Loudon obtained
from the Italian Government tho exclusive
light to connect Italy with Malta, it applied
to tho English authorities for permission to
land its cable on that island, but received a
decided refusal unless it would give up its ex
clusive privileges. It surrendered its mono
poly, and on that condition only obtained the
desired permission. Let the French company
do the same give up its exclusive privileges,
surrender its monopoly, and apply in the
proper manner, at tho proper time, to tho
linked States Government. Then let tho
French and American Governments enter
into an agreement that tho coasts of both
countries shall bo free to the people of cither,
and there will bo no more trouble. At pro
Bent the advantage is all on their side. Wo
give up everything, and get nothing in re
turn. The Attorney-General's decision ro
manding such cases to Congress, which
is in itself sound, is likewise peculiarly
timely in its npilieations to present move
ments. IMPORTANT F110M CUBA.
from the X. Y. HralcL
Tho intelligence from Cuba, both by telo
graph and mail, is of tho highest importance.
It will bo seen that a revolution has been con
summated in Havana. General Dulco, on
signing his forced resignation, declared it to bo
"the last of Spanish rule in Cuba," and it
lias filled the Spanish Minister at Washington
with alarm. Still tho Spanish volunteers hold
on in their mad course, killing even thoir late
idol, General Lesca, in Trididad, and dis
placing other governors who are obnoxious to
them. Tho natural sequence of all revolu
tionary proceedings is forcing itself upon
their consideration in tho important question,
What next? Some desire to proclaim a sepa
rate nationality, with a friendly connection
vith Spain; others think Cuba should be
divided, as St. Domingo is divided between
Dominicans aud Haytiens, leaving the central
and eastern portion of the island as a free
republic and holding tho western for Spain;
another party wish to proclaim Isabella, or at
least the Prince of Asturias, and a fourth,
comprising the conservative Spaniards, look
liopefully to the coming of General Rutins.
This officer is now on his way from Spain,
and will probably arrive before tho close of
the present month. The condition of things
lie will find in Cuba assimilates in some re
spect to what the Viceroy Venegas found in
Mexico when tho Spaniards there made a
similar revolution against the Viceroy Itur
Tigaray, in M)S, and sent him back to Spain
in something like tho same manner that Dulco
lias been sent back from Cuba. Tho move
juent in Mexico secured the revolution there,
as this in Cuba seems destined to do for tho
revolution in that island. But one immediate
Jesuit can follow, and that is a great incroaso
of the weakness of Spanish power in Cuba.
Jts resources will bo dried up by tho disorders
rf tho mad volunteers on the one hand and
I he exodus of wealthy Cubans on the other.
Dur telegraphic accounts state that a second
emigration had commenced in Havana, while
our torresiondenee informs us that tho volun
teers oiliriu thut they hold tho names of two
thousand Cubans who are to 'be " brought to
account. We fear that a terrible m-wnaere is
impending in Havana, in which Americans
and Cubans will be slaughtered without dis
tinction. Should General Rodas on his arri
val attempt to control this fieroo and ignorant
volunteer element, he may make mitters worso
instead of better.
Wo havo constantly endeavored to nw.iken
the Government to a sense of tho true con li
tion of the Cuban question, and of the perils
it involves to tho individual interests of oir
citizens and our national interests at large. It
would seem as though a darkness like that
which cursed Egypt is spread boforo tho eyes
of the administration, and that they aro wrapt
in a sleep as deep as that of death. On thoir
heads will rest the responsibility of coining
events, which aro already casting their bloody
shadows before. The cold blood of our Secre
tary of State cannot appreciate tho fires which
are kindling in onr own domain, and it is t inn
for the President to awaken to tho danger an 1
see that our national and private interests aro
encompassed with safety. Our fleet must be
largely increased, and that immediately, in
Cuban waters. The true position and rela
tions of the republican government must bo
recognized, and their belligerent rights ac
knowledged. Admiral Huff should bo at
once instructed to make known to the
Spanish revolutionary leaders in Havana that
the lives and properties of American citizens
must bo respected; and if we would establish
our duo influence in tho new republic, we
must take some steps that will show our sense
of tho obligations of civilization and hu
manity towards tho struggling Cubans. A
blind belief in the fallacies and polite words
of the Spanish Minister will not save Secre
tary Fish nor the administration of General
limit when the public mind shall bo awakoned
by the progress of events of which they have
been forewarned and ngainst which they
should bo forearmed.
BREACHES OF PROMISE.
From the A. Y. World,
Now that tho t elegrnph tells us that the in
telligent Illinoisan jury to whom has been
submitted tho case of Craig vs. Sprague havo
Hot only returned a verdict in favor of tho
plaintiff", but havo assessed her damages at
the extraordinary sum, considering the sta
tion of the parties and the circumstances of
tho case, of 100,0(10, it is time to consider
the case a little. Theso damages must bo re
garded as punitory upon Sprague rather than
as justified by the amount of injury which
Miss Craig had actually received. Tho folly
of the defense in attempting to ruin the
woman's reputation was the cause of
Spragne's excess of woe. Otherwise, there is
no imaginable reason why Miss Craig should
have got a hundred thousand of his hard
enmed dollars.
In fact, this whole business of brcach-of-
piomise suits has become a ridiculous one.
JTero in this case is a woman whoso affections
had already been lacerated, according to tho
affecting catalogue of them with which she
furnished her latest lover, by four or five per
sons at least. It is not to bo sunnosod that
her mature and callous heart could be mora
deeply wounded by the infidelity of Sprague,
who happened to have money, than that organ
was, in its young and tender phase, when it
was cut to the core ly the perhdy of the gay
deceivers who had none. They paid in per
son for losing tho lovely Amanda. Why
should not Sprague havo been suffered to do
tho same ? It does not appear that ho had
uone anyunng out 01 the way with regard to
her, except to discover that ho had not cared
quite so much for her as in his first ardor ho
thought ho had; and, on making this dis
covery, who shall say that the wisest thing
ho could havo done was not exactly what ho
did doto deprive himself of tho delights of
her society, and to give her the samo chance
to forget him that ho had already taken to
forget her ?
Tho idea of Appraising damages to a
woman's sensibilities in money is getting to
bo thought an absurd one. Of course, if a
mnn trifles with a woman's feelings and
makes insincere professions to her, ho is de
serving of punishment. But that is not say
ing that she is deserving of a pecuniary re
compense for his crimes. And it is by no
menus saying that a man who honestly bo
lieves that ho wishes to marry a woman, and
who afterwards finds out his mistake, is de
serving of any punishment at all, or that the
woman who was tho subject of his delusion is
deserving of any pecuniary compensation at
all. The one featuro in this case which in
clines ns to bo glad of the verdict against
Sprngue is his attempt, apparently an entirely
causeless one, to destroy her reputation. But
tho ordeal to which that reputation was sub
jected on tho trial was rather to its advan
tage than otherwise; and although Sprague
deserved to be punished for tho attempt, as
he has been, Miss Craig did not deserve the
reparation which she got for an injury that
had not been inflicted.
It is tho samo in most suits for slander, the
only analogous case which our law furnishes
for this action for breach of promiso of mar
riage. The best refutation for a slander is to
prove it untrue; but a man who is conscious
of its untruth will generally rely upon that
consciousness. A man, on tho other hand,
who is galled by his consciousness of its truth
will generally bluster it out by bringing suit
and endeavoring to extort a little money.
And a woman whoso sensibilities are worth
considering will generally refrain from having
them discussed in crowded court-rooms am I
talked about in newspapers. Whereas, a
woman who entered into a marriage-contract
from motives of money will generally endeavor
to attain the samo object by a suit against tho
person who refuses to be her victim.
But, in any case, how weak is Sprague not
to have fulfilled his promise of marriage ! In
Chicago ho could at any timo have got a di
vorco for a thousand dollars at most, and
thereby have saved himself ninety and nine,
besides tho mortification of having his atro
cious letters read out uud printed. His con
duct in this regard, like the letters themselves,
tends to show with how little wisdom much
money can be made.
WILSON AS WITNESS.
From the X. Y. HoWcl.
Mr. Henry Wilson, United States Senator
from Massachusetts, has just made a remark
able confession and printed it in a so-called
religious paper in this city. We say remark
ublo not because it contains anything that
sensible men did not know before, biit be
cause it oozes from a man who, since tho de
cline ot Mr. Seward and the decay of Mr
Sunnier, has ranked all of (lia leaders of the
radical party. The ; gist of this confession tho
confessor may bo ullowed to state iu his own
words, to wit:
"Thin power of wealth, individual and osHoclnfod
concentrated and dimmed, contitut,.g t. taZ
ijcr thut Is tliivutoiiln ns Willi lu portentous and 1
i jcaninK dimensions. Jn It aro found not ulono the
iiinisoB of monopoly, but the greater ami more dlsus
trous evils of bribery and corruption, ludoed iho
HllfiiH of tho times are ominous, and betoken that we
aro eiiterlni; upon an experience riaumxinu; ami dan
gerous ullko to Individual probity aud honor, to na
tional reputation ami surety. Nor aro there wanting
Indications not only of the possession of this power
aud the purpose to use It, but or too many saseepu
blu to its bluudUlmicuis aud ready to yield to its
I ir,ar;,Tho I?10" t0 "e andto be oscfl seem pro-
vlded for each other." , 1
For once Mr. Wilson lias spoken the tr.ith.
A pity it is that he had not had tv, n nnn "Off a
to do so long ago, when the evil whio'a ho
now deprecates, boing thon iu iu incipioicy,
might havo been prevontod. Tho wor 1 of
warning which then might havo proved
effective, now comos too lato. Tho enormous
concentration of wealth into a few hands,
and tho centralization of woalth and power in
h'.rge corporations, over which Mr. Wilson
affects to shod tears, aro to-day accomplished
facts. How to combat their baneful influoneo
is not so easy to determine as to discern to
whom their existence is indisputably attri
butable. J
The whole influence of our National Gov
ernment, since tho control of it fell into Re
publican hands, has been thrown in favor of
a policy of centralization. Nor has this influ
oneo been circumscribed by the walls of the
national Capitol. It has penetrated to every
State Capitol, inducing State Legislatures to
assume prerogatives of which tho'inere claim
in earlier days would have driven from his
sent every legislator who dared assert it. Of
nil this the natural consequence was corrup
tion, as Mr. Wilson owns, and, with com
mendable candor, cites as flagrant examples
State Legislatures that are unl have been
under Republican control from time imme
morial. But why is Mr. Wilson so reticent
as to the part played by successive radical
Congresses in this drama of rottenness ?
He has been a member of tho United
States Senato for many years, yet ho has
not a word to say of tho corruption bo
gotten at Washington of this centraliza
tion of power and of wealth. True, ho
alludes to the corruption in the in
ternal revenue system; but why is ho so
silent about Indian claims, the lavish
grants to tho Union and Central Pacific, Rail
roads, the mollifications of tho tariff and in
ternal revenue to accommodate certain manu
facturers at the expense of the community,
and the multitude of privato bills annually
passed by Congress for reasons that one can
only guess at? Tho evil under notice origi
nated ut Washington; it was fostered by Mr.
Wilson and his parly associates in spite of the
warnings of tho better class of tho people;
and its magnitude to-day is chiefly, if not
solely, due to theso very men. No wonder
that it extorts from a United States Senator
the bitter wail "that, unless some remedy
adequate to tho exigencies of the hour can bo
provided, the future has a darker and moro
disgraceful history yet in store." Tho utterer
of this cry is tho same man, remember, who,
at tho time when tho conservative press and
orators were predicting just this result as
sure to follow the policy pursued by the Re
publican party, declared on the floor of the
Senate that "God Almighty could not afford
to let the Republican party be beaten" at an
election then close at hand.
THE NEW ERA IN POLITICS.
From the X. Y. tiun.
Tho ratification of the fifteenth amendment
to the Constitution by New Hampshire makes,
according to our tally, including Indiana,
twenty-tour states which havo given it their
approval. Tho votes of twenty-eight are re
quired for fhe completion of tho work. Ver
mont is sure to ratify it so soon as its Legis
lature assembles next fall. Tho act providing
for the reconstruction of Virginia, Mississippi,
and Texas demands its ratification by those
States as a preliminary to their full restora
tion to the Union. This will make up tho
sum total of twenty-eight; but we presume
Georgia will also bo required to ratify the
amendment ere she is admitted to represen
tation in Congress, while there is little doubt
that Rhode Island will givo her voice in
favor of tho measure when her Legislature
meets in January.
By tho opening of tho now year, thoroforo,
the work of reconstruction and the adoption
of this amendment will bo completed. When
this is accomplished the leading object which
induced two or three hundred thousand voters,
scattered all over the country, to support
General Grant for the Presidency, will havo
been secured. This class of electors came
from two widely separated sources, namely,
War Democrats, whoso affiliation with tho Re
publican party sprang from hostility to the
Rebellion, and who are determined to grub
up tho last roots and fibres of secession ore
they dissolve their connection with that party,
and tho intense anti-slavery men, who, while
differing with the Republicans on many car
dinal points respecting trade and finaneo,
went with them, if indeed they did not load
them, in order to carry out their long-chor-ished
ideas concerning equal rights irrespec
tive of color or race.
Now, with the field thtis cleared of old
questions and controversies, if tho Republican
leaders should show a lack of cupacity to so
shape their future policy as to retain tho co
operation of the two classes wo have men
t ioned, it would very seriously weaken, if not
destroy, their party; while, ou the other
hand, if the Democracy should intrust the
management of their organization to living
men, who can keep step with the progressive
and liberal spirit of tho times, and thereby
win these two classes to their standard, then
the overthrow of tho former and tho triumph
of the latter in tho next Presidential struggle
are as sure as tho deductions of logic.
The future fate, therefore, of each of the
great parties is in tho hands of its loaders. If
both prove incompetent or faithless, it would
be in accordance with the precedents of his
tory if the masses of the people should discard
their blind guides, reorganize upon an indu
j endtiiit basis, intrust their standard to leaders
of their own selection, and thus open up a
new era in the politics of this country.
THE MISRULE IN MEXICO.
From the X. Y. Times.
If it be true, as our correspondent earnestly
declares, that the political horizon of Mexico
was never so sombre as at this moment, and
that "there is general expectation of a great
and terrible revolution," yet neither the Mexi
can people nor the Government can pretend
that tho storm bursts without warning. It
has for three- years been brewing. It gathered
black and ominous immediately on tho French
evacuation, and every day it has come nearer.
Doubtless tho anti-annexationists will charge
that tho United States are to blame for tho
disorder, by keeping all the Northwestern
States Coahuila, Chihuahua, California,
Dtuango, Sinaloa, Son'ora in a fever
of expectation regarding the protecto
rate. Tho real trouble, however, is
in unhappy Mexico herself, given over, as it
is, to the plots of rival chiefs, and misruled
by a weak central power. Congress, usually
an imbecile and faction-split body, does
nothing but dawdle over impracticable
schemes for paper money, and what not. The
high roads are patched with foot-pads. Juarez
is said to be tho mere tool of Lordo. Revo
lution is hydru-hoadod, and has disappeared
in the extreme South only to break out again
in Queretaro, Guerrero, uud Michoacan. Now
Alvarez, now Negrete, now Pallacio, now
Poi tirio Diaz, is on tho brink of insurrection,
or boldly plunges into it. Thus, nil is bad,
and "worse remains behind." What possible
end or outlet for this anarchy exists, no one
can tell. Mianwhiln, it repels capital, enter
prise, thiift, ami makes impossible either in
dividual or national prosperity. j
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
From the X. Y. Tiviee.
Wendell Phillips has found another fir.it
clnss grivunoo. and ho advocates its correction
nwre x'uo. He is shocked by the inhuman
trontment of tho Indians by our Government,
and ho urges them to tear up tho rails of tho
Pacific Railroad. His exultation over Homo of
their exploits in this way is refreshing. It
reminds one of tho palmiest days of tho anti
slavery agitation. "Every blow struck at the
Pacific Ruilroad," says Mr. Phillips, "is heard
round the globe. Haunt that road," is his
advice to the Indians, "with such dangers that
none will dare to use it." He sees "groat
good" in the fact that tho Indians have begun
to tear up the rails, to shoot passengers and
conductors on the road. Tho vast benefits
the road will confer on the country anil tho
world count for nothing in Mr. Phillips' estimation.
