EDITOUIAIj OPINIONS Or TDK LEAOINO JOTTnNALS UPON OUltRKNT TOPICS COMPILED KVEBT DAT roil TUE EVKNINO TKI.Efilt APH. THE LAST PRIZE FIGHT. Jom the y. Y. World. . The cxcoptionulandtranscondoui rufllaiusm rf the fight between McOo.rfa and Allou on 'jNiORday is not a matter tot rtwret, but, contra HwIh. for rejoicing. For it plainly foreshow the end of prize-fighting. When, an m thin instance, the strongor party prevent the do feat of its favorite by ovorwholming his wipe, rior antagonist and breaking up the fight, it is evident, even tp the nnmtelligonce of the average rough, that it is useless to venture money upon the success of the man who has the mnaller following, no matter how far superior to his opponent the man may be. When this becomes clear, the weaker party which knows itself to be the weaker will re frain from venturing money, and when money ceases to be ventured, prize-fights will cease to bo fought. The titter brutality of this fight is useful in another way. Prize-fighting has always been a beastly business, and always properly under ihe ban of the law. But in its high and palmy days the men who encouraged them field themselves bound by a crude code of lionor, by which, in the absence of legal pro tection, they generally secured fair play and what in their slang is called the winning of lhe better man on his morits. This was when Cribb, Jackson, and Gully were in the ring, and when prize-fighting, brutal as in its essence it always is, was yet in some respects almorft re Hlectttble, and when some qualities which un doubtedly are manly qualities were fostered hj it. But now pugilism has lost even the pretense of being in any way a manly art, and is followed, not by the mere brutal gladiators who were once the ornaments of the prize ring, but by cowards, sneaks, thieves, and 'murderers, like this thug McCoole and this flhug Allen. There are numbers of men of this class in New York whoso existence is palpably useless and dangerous, but who lire yet "left at large and permitted, by the connivance, or, at least, by the sloth, of the !olice, publicly to arrange for prize-fights, ublicly to carry out all the preliminaries of Ihein, and to show themselves publicly with impunity. After their fights have been fought, mrely there ought to be some such increase of stringency, either in the laws or in the administration of them, as would pro vent Biich a thing. Here are hundreds of men in New York of whom every one knows, and who must know of themselves, that they ought to be hanged. Unfortunately, these wretches cannot be hanged, in the present State of the statute-book, for being what they are. But what a real boon it would be to ihem, as well as to the rest of us if they could be, if not summarily hanged, at least imprisoned and made to work as soon as they take any overt step in the practice of their Vocations either as thieves, bullies, or mur derers. If they would only fall foul of each other, when they elude the police and assem ble for their devilish doings, and wage war to mutual extermination, there would bo some thing consolatory about it. But they are too cowardly to do anything of the kind. Their assaults are all made upon inoffensive people who have either had the fatuity to attend the fight as spectators or who have the misfor tune to dwell in the vicinity of the scone of it. They themselves are all, unhappily, loft alive at the end of the fight, to return to their lairs and ply their vocations of sneak-thievery and sneak-murder until another fight lures them into the sunlight of notoriety. The names of the chief of thorn are well known to the police, and their habitat is equally known. From them come such crimes as the murder of Mr. Rogers, and the later murder of Lark in, who, doubtless, on general principles, deserved to be killed, but who did not deserve to be murdered. Is it impossible that these "infected districts" of lmnianity, whose boundaries are not looal but spiritual, should be put under a sanitary regu lation at least as strict as the precautions we ' adopt against the lesser evils of smallpox and rholera ? Modern civilization .condemns the eld "outlawry" whereby the victim of it was made liable to be killed at sight by the first decent citizen who might see him. . But, at least, these scoundrels might be placarded m Borne such wise as that they might be shunned and excluded from all public assemblies and from the public streets. Exposure is at pre sent the only stigma which can be affixed to them; and that stigma it is easy to affix. But the prize-fighters themselves although, for their good as well as ours, they unques tionably ought to be hanged are less culpa ble, because less accountable, than the news papers which act aa their procurers and whose iiUHiness it is to live out of their bloody trade, lie men who conduct these papers at least Icnow how to read and write, antfthey must know, therefore, what kind of morality they are helping to inculcate. But, instead of the incarceration of the savages and the suppres sion of the newspapers which pander to them, the chief of the former are sent to the Legis lature to make laws for the government of the community of which they are the scmn, and the chief of the conductors of the latter par. take of the innermost councils of the Fresi- ilent of the United States. Uno'tirtte ttn- vemr r ' ' MONARCHY IN SPAIN. from the A'. Y. Tribune, Nothing more forcibly illustrates the neces sity of organic political changes in Europe than the fact 'that it was, after the late revolu tion, at once taken for Granted that regene rated Spain must necessarily be governed by p hereditary monarchy, The same opinion prevailed in 1808, when the Bourbons were expelled, and the crown was vested in Joseph liouaparte and his heirs male; yet the Spanish population, at that time, exhibited a fierce de termination not to submit to a foreign adven turer. It has now been supposed that the sains trame can be triumphantly played by a scion of ihe ruined House of Orleans. It is true, in our opinion, that those who speak of the Duke us merely a Bourbon scarcely do him justice We think that the ancient feud between his own house and that of the Bourbons should te considered, and, so far as it goes, that it is somewhat in his favor. His father and his crrandfather had great political vices. Heredi tary opposition to the Court undoubtedly gave H liberal tinge to ineir aciions mey were m tricruers. but they nocessarily intrigued upon the side of the people, and sought the mosses they intended to use. The Orleans princes liave always been better educated and natural y more intelligent than their cousins of Bonr- )on, who, after the Fourteenth Louis, did tiothing but blunder. ''He had lost," siys dad. de Genlis of Louis Philippe, "ttll hat he had inherited from birth and Jbrtxno nothing remained but what he liad received from nature and me." In turn, he took great p.uns in the education of iis own children, so that as princes they were nuite exceptionally cultivated, and all of them for amiability and I cible and favorable ' f alniif. Dresrntinat a forcil contract to pure Bourbons and to most of the old French vohU'ttf, having hardly anything of the pride, extravagance, and vanity of that body. They were trained all the sons of Louis Philippe to be useful to the State, and it must be admitted that they were useful. Everything promised a long and felicitous reign of their house, when the Spanish mar- ringes negotiated by their father came an l ruined him, costing him the moral approba tion of the best part of Europe, and casting herioiis doubts upon his veracity and his per sonal integrity, putting a grave argument into the hands ot the r reach Democracy, and at last sending him into exile. He had Bhown, at last, mean and mousing ways unworthy of a monarch, and his hold upon the French jMople was not sufficient to maintain him upon his throne. It is now stated, upon good authority, thut Montpensicr has in Spanish atrairs exhibited an inherited capacity for intrigue; that Iim money went far to effect the expulsion of the Queen; and there is in Spain a feeling that, to borrow the words of Roohcfoucault, he "will promise according to his hopes and perform according to his fears. That he would in ike a better monarch than any living Bourbon is saying very little; for most of the relics of that family are foolish by nature, and, having never got the Right Divine of Kings out of their heads, are unfit to reign either as kings or queens. One cannot but wonder that the idea of a republic should have been so dis tinctly dismissed by the Chamber; but we be lieve that the dismissal is only for a time. In some respects there is no nation in Europe so well fitted for a republic as the Spanish; for the personal pride of all classes of men which there exists might, under some circumstance -i, naturally tend to a democracy. Bad govern ment, as bad as possible, has never destroyed, has hardly tamed, the native fierceness of a people poor indeed but proud, and for a long tune accustomed to take a decided though somewhat tumultuous part in public affairs, and yet still a people whom the religious element has accustomed to all necessary self-control, except under extraordinary cir cumstances. Ve do not believe that this badly-governed race, which was once felt as a power in the world, and which is still mindful of the traditional glories of Spain and still proud of its noble literature, will submit always to the enslavement by Church and State which lias been its portion. It has proved already that it will have nothing to do with an adventurer in search of a crown. It refused, in darker days, tosubmit to foreign aggression even with ameliorated government. It has had quite enough of the sort of liberty which British alliances would briny;. In short, it happens to be exactly in the right position and with requisite power to act for itself; and if not to-day, then to-morrow, it will so at. 'the reason, hancho, said his mister, "why thou feelest that pain all down thy back, is, that the stick that gave it to theo was of length to that extent. ' The Spanish people know too well the length of royal sticks. The final disposition of the Montpensier notion goes far toward securing a republic in fact, if not in name. Meanwhile, let us hope for Spanish independence of Bourbons, and for Cuban independence of Spain! PERU AND THE SPANISH COMPLICA TION. From the A'. 1". Herald. Our very respectable and very slow Secre tary of State, in his anxiety to avoid European complications, had lost sight ot an American complication until a tew days since, when he found it had grown to such magnitude that ho towk to his bed sick at heart. It will be re inemberod that not long since Tern and Chili were in a state ot active war with Spain, during which the latter power sent a fleet into the Pacific, bombarded Valparaiso and burnt a portion of the city, and then proceeded ta (Jallao to enect the same purpose there Driven off in this attack by the superior gnn- nery ot the Peruvians, the fleet finally wended its way buck to the Atlantic with small prize money and scanty honors, lhe war slum bered in a state of inaction, and the recent administration at Washington tendered to the belligerents its good offices as a modiator for the restoration of peace. These were ac cepted, and commissioners from the parties were to meet in Washington next month to arrange the preliminaries. The only party to the scheme to whom peace is worth more than the value of a button is Spain. She entered upon the war with the aggressive spirit of Quixote, without waiting to examine 11 the point ot honor for an imagi nary affront in the case of a merchant ship was well taken; and, having struck her blow, is now willing to forget and forgive. To add to her wish in this respect, it was the Cuban treasury which enabled her to strike the blow, the government at Havana being charged with the duty ot paying the bills incurred by the racitio fleet, and just now it is ' hardly in a position to repeat the act. But time, who does not wait for negotiators or nations, has, meanwhile, brought to the South American belligerents the opportunity to strike back and that, too, at the vital part which enabled Spain to assert her strength as a power on the American side of this mundane ball Cuba declares her independence, Presideut Cespedes requests the antagonists ot Spain to recognize the belligerent nghN of the Uuban republic, and ivru and Uinli do so with expressions of friendliness becoming nations at war. Hero the Spanish Minister comes upon the scene, and claims troia .ur. iisii that, as it is the duty of his office to attend to the pence making between rwttm and the belligerent members of the American family of nations, he shall also undertake to keep thein from hitting back while negotiations are going on. He furthermore assumes that the course of the republics in the Cuban question is dis courteous to the United States, and to illus trate his position cites the case of a private quarrel between two gentlemen, which is under arrangement by a third party, and which he assumes ends the quarrel from the moment the arrangement to enter upon ne gotiations had been HC3pted. According to his view the quarrel is now ours, and not Spain's. ' Setting aside the fallacy whieh is contained in comparing national to individual powers, our friend the Spanish Minister makes an other very great mistake in assuming that a consent to. open negotiations amounts to a treaty of peace r even a truce. If he will take the trouble to read, he will fin I the pages of history to abound in the contrary view, and we will cite one fact in American history for his easy reference: Our last war with Great Britain did not cease while peace neo tiations wore going on at Ghent, and the greatest battle of the whole war that of New Orleans was fought after the negotiations had been concluded and the troaty of peace had been signed. The little episode of the recognition of the belligerent rights of Cuba need not, therefore, interrupt the negotiations at Washington, and they can be kept up even amid the greater coming complications which time will no doubt exhibit between the belligerents. bad a trood reputation To Mr. Fish we present thise ass irin? acts, in the hope that thfy will help him to a Hjvedy recovery of his heillh. But we have a few words to say to him in regard to these Spanish complications. The people of the United Mates have recognizpd the belligerent hts ot the Unimn republic, and are fast nking an attitude which will vindicate our national rights and national duties amid the grout rventa that attend us. lhev see. toj. and comprehend the petty party policy which would nuiKe bluster about the Altiiamt claims cover up and hide your delinquency in thj higher duties which attend yon in the Ameri can questions now pressing for a solution. If you rouse vonrself to the tint v of the hour the statesman's pen can solve these diffiiul- ties and further the hopes of civilization and humanity, if you do not waken to it, the difficulties will continue to gather around you until the Spanish complications open the grave of your reputation as a public man and of the hopes of the administration of which you are a part. THE CAMPAIGN ABANDONED. From the S. Y. World. The proposed incorporation of Senator Sumner's speech into the platform of the radical party for the coming fall appears to have been given up. Exposure of the design and discussion killed it. The World showed the Republicans that their little game was not only disreputable but a losing one. The most pronounced of the radical papers such as the J-Jreninif Pout, the Now York Tim, the Cincinnati Commercial, the Chicago Tri bune, and others declare against it. Gov ernor Curtin, who was to have led off in favor of the idea at Philadelphia on Saturday night. was scared out of doing it by the storm of opposition which the fatal discovery of his purpose by the Worltf aroused. The pleas in protest against it have been that the adminis tration must bo left free to take its own course as circumstances arise, without being bound beforehand or menaced by popular clamor to any prescribed plan; also that, as likely as not, the Alabama claims will bo romoved from the domnm of discussion into the field of diplo matic investigation before the tail elections set in; in which case any popular debate upon the business by the administration party would be as out of place as editorials on the guilt of a prisoner while he was on trial and bet ore a jury has found any verdict. Those are very respectable pleas, and, if they serve to prevent the precipitation ot Mr. Sumner s grotesque production into the politics of the country, i hey will serve well, lhe real reasons, how ever, briefly are: That the Alabama business is a dead affair; that Mr. Sumner's temporary and factitious prominence in this business has subsided; ho is reduced to his normal in significance now on both sides of the Atlan tic in the minds of everybody bnt himself; that the motion to connect the party to that speech was a motion to galvanize a corpse into a make-believe life, and was meant not as an assistance, but as a menace to General Grant and to Secretary Fish, who have stu diously snubbed the Sumner party ever since the 1 resident finished his third reading of the Senator's ill-assorted compilation. The only men who are willing now to iudorse Mr. Sumner's position are Senators Nye and Howe, who know as little about international law as they do about the Sanscrit. Indeed, the Senator from Massachusetts may be con sidered a "lost cause." The Republican lead ers know little enough, but they know too much to commit themselves to a policy liable to lead the United States into a war with Great Britain while our debt is undiminished and the l-nion still dissolved. Their party has never known how "to vindicate the na tional honor," as the phrase is. That sort of business has always succeeded in Democratic hands; and the organization whose highest successes have been disunion, debt, and re construction would be all at sea even with such a word as honor committed to their keeping. No ! The campaign on the Sum ner line has been abandoned. The Alabama claims will reach a satisfactory and speedy settlement if Mr. Motley will only hold his tongue, and if Mr. Fish succeeds in his wish to bring over their consideration to this side. ON WITH TllE DANCE ! From the A'. 1'. Times. A new device, worse while it lasts than hand-shaking, has been invented to vex the soul of General Grant, torture his toes, and shako him from his equanimity. This device is the device of dancing. Wherever he goes now a quadrille is prepared to ensnare him, and he is asked to lead off in the set of honor. It was so last week at Annapolis, and again this week at West Point. And what is true of the President is also true of the General, both of whom would probably face any other kind of "balls" rather than these, and go through any amount of marching rather than one such "hop." At Annapolis, we are told, Grant, instead of "leading off" in his set, was very submissively led off, evidently knowing no more of the figures, and doing them no bet ter, than a "frozen-toed turkey." Sherman, oif the other hand, was, says Jenkins, "awk ward, and quite as bold as awkward, taking steps like his soldiers marching to the sea." As for Grant, says the same authority, "he had a scared look on his face that moved your heart:" "Kvery figure was to him the Wilderness over strain, and mure fearful. lie tunnel away too soon from his partner, ami turned to the next lady, hold Ins up lils hands appcallugiy, like an Innocent kitten with its burnt paws, and lost liliuucir constantly almost lieyoiul recovery. For every step he took he seemed he would prefer faclnjf another Donelson. The duties of hlghotilce had worn him considerably. Its pleasure threatened to be hu coup Ui irace." . All this we take to be literally true, because the testimony to it is uniform and unvarying. And as again at West Point, a conscientious re porter declares: "The attempts of the President and General Sher inan to go through the dance with credit were by no means successful, the Chief Magistrate geeming to lack energy ; tlio General of the Army, on the other hand, exhibiting an linmeusH amount oi motive vim, but wanting Badly in judgment." Captains in vain punched the President; in vain did Colonels pull back the General, and at length, we are told, the President, "very much abashed, deserted the Terpsicho reau field," followed by General Sherman, who was much better satisfied with his per formances in that line. We repeat, therefore, that this business ought to be abandoned, in mercy to our high officers. Not every one that shone at Waterloo cut a fine figure at the Brussels ball the night before. At all events, we drop the hint that if Boston will spare General Grant a repetition of this later tor ture, and all other people will do likewise, thev will establish a strong claim upon the President's gratitude. - REFRIGERATORS.
