THE CHURCH OF SPAIN.
From tf4 ff. V. Tribune
The Kpiu1)licnns of the Cortes, Hlaudercd
ui)licnns or the uuncn, wi'unmi
ago l.y-tLe report that they would
-jurors to the new Constitution of
dome timo
urove nou
their country, nro nt tins moment urging
upon their constituents a simple lenity to tlio
Constitution find the regime of fcorrnno.
With the Church pftrty, the cnhlo informs us
that it iw far otherwise The priests of Hpain
hye not vol recovered from the shock (limit
to them not merely by the peiieral ninjority
of tho Cortes, but especially by the speeches
of the ixtreinor class of Kepublicnns. Thoy
are now acting evidently in the spirit of the
boost of Cardinal Cucsta, that three millions
of Spaniards were ready to sign their names
to a pledge to resist a constitution which as
serted itself to be the enemy of the .Church.
The Cardinal was wildly out of the way in his
calculations; but tho Church, if resolved to
opposo the Constitution, with blind zealotry
just because the HepuMiourm defend it, may
do mischief to tho Stato no less than to itself.
Competition as against enforced monopoly
is an old moral of trade. It is also the moral
of the Church defeat in Spain. Inasmuch as
a competition in religion is often a saving of
morals, good Spaniards aver that tho sincerity
and activity of thoir Church will profit by tho
Mimulant of a new laith and a new Kiert.
Crowds Lave attended the service of Protes
tantism since the ordination of tolerance,
though it is said that the owner of the house
in Madrid where it was held has been threat
ened with asKausination. "Whether we believe
this or not, it is certain that the new religion,
togother with the new principle of tolerance,
have secured an invincible foothold. To keep
the peace of opinion, much more is to be de
manded from the forbearance of the Repub
licans than the inveteracy of the churchmen. .
We commend to froe religionists the candid
confession uttered in the Spanish Cortes by
one Diaz Quintero. "I belong to no religion, '
fcaiol Senor Quintero. "I am not even an
atheist, because I have nothing to do with
religions, not even to detry them. They are all
subversive of morality. I Bay with Don Car
los in Schiller, 'My ideas are not of this age.
I should have lived at a more advanced po
riod.' " According to his own statement, Mr.
Quintero would advance like the crab, back
wards. But the real progress of Spanish ideas
. will tend away from such egotism as this into
something like charity of opinion a charity
not more deuiandod of such churchmen as
Manterola and Cuesta, and the Bishop of
Jaen, than of such Republicans as Suner and
Quintero.
It is no common defeat which has been
wrought upon the Church, nor can we say
that it has been sustained vulgarly and in tho
spirit of irreconcilable defiance. Tho most
j'ealoiiB lovers of their religion have bitterly
ameuted this first step of divorce between
the Church and the State. None have done
so with more sincere sorrow than tho pious
Bishop of Jaen, whose fanatic shock" upon
hearing the atheism uttered in the Cortes
moves a certain compassion and even admira
tion, spite of the Bishop's unreasoning oppo
sition to moral liberty. "There were those,"
he said, "who declared Catholic morals infe
rior to universal morals. There were those
who asked tolerance only to impugn religion.
There were those who ridiculed the existence
of the Holy Spirit. Some invented fables,
and were praised falsified history, and were
applauded. Compassion compassion for all !
The measure, beyond being full, ran over its
sides, with the stench of we know not how
many miseries more unjustifiable than punish
able; but they were not sufficient. Miseries
deplorable pitiful, worthy to be washed,
even on our part, in a sea of truly expiatory
tears t" Few will be indisposed to grant to
the Bishop's compassionate jeremiad the merit
of eloquence and sincerity worthy of the
days when the best orator of Spain was the
fierce devotee who upheld the cross. He
mistakes the nature of his opponents both
their power to do harm by aggression or to
.do good by forbearance. The Church' can
only save itself the State can rob it of none
of its true possessions. The absence of com
petition does not make its morals a whit bet
Vii the presence of it cannot shake its
rightful hold if it be founded in the truth.
On the other hand, the reformers gain nothing
hj their unreasoning advocacy of reason.
Unless they themselves learn the tolerance
and the charity they demand unless they can
in their own conduct commend to the Church
its own texts they have really not a great
deal to teach, however fierce the onslaught
their Quixotism may make against forms in
the name of shadows.
THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
From, (he N. Y. World.
The recent activity of the Government in
making arrests and trying to thwart the
Cuban expeditions fitting out from our shores,
is certainly open to censure, though to no
just censure on the grounds presented by
the enthusiasts for Cuban independence.
"While the neutrality laws remain unre
pealed, nothing can be clearer than the
duty of the Executive to enforce them. But
the friends of the Cubans have good reason
to complain that the administration has not
dealt with them honestly, or at least, not con
sistently; that it has encouraged hopes
which it now disappoints; that three mouths
of voluntary blindness and connivance was a
virtual permission and sanction of the kind
of enterprises which it now undertakes to re
press and punish.
It has been the custoiu of the Government,
on all similar occasions, to issue an early pro
clamation setting forth the substance of the
law, and warning all concerned of the danger
they would incur by its violation. Even if
there were no reasons for such a course (and
there are strong reasons, as we shall presently
See), the fact that such a proclamation has
nlways been customary would make it proper
io continue the practice, lest the failure to
warn should be construed as a permission to
act. The neutrality laws do not differ from
other laws in respect to this circumstance at
tending their enforcement. Most crimes are
committed .by individuals in conceal
ment, acting alone, giving no intima
tion of their purpose until it is dis
closed by its consummation. But in all
offenses where large numbers of men act to
gether, carried away by a common impulse, it
is customary i or tne puune auuionues to at'
tempt to save misguided men from punish
ment by timely warning. In all cases of riot,
and all cases of domestic insurrection, procla
mations are issued at an early stage calling
upon . citizens to obey the laws, and warning
memo! tuo couseouences of transgression
S his is never so fitly done as when concerted
- Attempts are about to be made to violate the
neutrality laws, Such enterprises are prompted
by generous motives; they enlist tho young,
the ardent, tho thoughtless, as well as the
bold and reckless; and compassion for tuoir I
icnornnce. if not. respect tor tnotr generous
impulses, should induce tho Government to
save them, n possioio, irom vne commission
of offenses which it is far better to prevent
than to piinit-h.
Tho failure of General Grant's administra
t ion to pnTsue this usiyd course, and its af
fected blindness to enterprises which were
perfectly notorious, were naturally regarded
by the Cuban agents as a proof that the Gov
ernment would give thotn its secret con
nivance, if not its open s motion; as n pro:f
that tho neutrality laws would hetrettel as
a dead letter, and' that the sympathies of the
administration were really on tho side of the
violators of the laws. '1 his was very unfair
and very unhandsome dealing, if the adminis
tration intended to act against these enter
prises with vigor and severity when thoy
reached a riper stage. The organizers and
promoters of such expeditions should not have
been loft in doubt as to tho mode in which
the Government would treat them. If con
nivance and secret encouragement were the
policy of the Government, tho connivance
should have been uniform and consistent; but
if the Government recognized its duty to en
force the laws, it should have made its pur
pose clearly understood as soon as tho subject
begun to occupy public attention, in order
that tho unwary might not bo enticed into
such enterprises by the hope of impunity, and
afterwards punished for permitted acts.
In this respect, os in most other respocts,
the course of General Grant's administration
has been marked by discreditable vacillation
and blundering. The new President has a
marvellous aptitude for dissatisfying all
parties upon almost all piestious. In this
Cuban business, he first earned tho distrust
of citizens who think the neutrality laws
ought to bo enforced; and ho has now for
feited tho confidence of the abettors of tho
Cubans by his tardy vigor. Ho cannot re
cover the forfeited respect of the first; for tho
obligation to enforce tho laws was as binding
from the beginning as it is at present. If he
had issued a seasonable proclamation, tho
mere warning would probably have sufficed
without any necessity of resorting to punish
ment. I lis recent vigor is so far from atoning for
his former lenity that it. brands tho lenity as a
foolish weakness and short-sighted mistake,
by which multitudes have been deluded into
a belief that tho acts which are now punuhed
had the secret approval of tho Government.
His past connivance will cause the Cubans
to hate him as a renegado to thoir cause,
whereas if he had consistently enforced tho
laws from the beginning, they would at worst
have merely looked upon him as an enemy,
and more probably ns a conscientious officer
who felt that he had no authority to suspend
tho laws which he had sworn to' execute.
They can now justly blame him for deluding
them with false hopes; while tho other party
blame him, with equal justice, for having
so long shirked a plain duty, and create! a
necessity for severity by his neglect of timely
prevention.
"Wo suppose the truth to be that General
Grant has changed his opinion as to tho
chances of Cuban independence; and having
become convinced that tho cause is hopeless,
he wishes to escape tho mortification of en
listing his administration on tho losing side.
His present opinion is probably correct; but
it is unfortunate for his reputation that ho
shoild hnvo been found, within so short a
period, favoring opposite sides in the same
contest. Besides forfeiting the good opinion
and incurring the odium of all parties by his
inconsistent und fluctuating course, ho has
postponed that ultimate annexation of Cuba
to the United States which has long beeu
expected by our most enlightened states
men, and desired by a majority of
our people. Every premature and un
successful attempt to sever Cuba from
Spain furnishes topics of discouragement
when the time shall be really ripe for the ac
quisition of that important island. Cuba is
too small for an independent nation. Its geo
graphical proximity to the United States
marks out its destiny as a part of the Ame
rican Union. "We can afford to wait, as there
is no danger that it will pass into tho hands
of any other power than Spain; and it is not
expedient for us to attempt to assimilate a
foreign population of a different race, lan
guage, and religion, until our Union shall
have become knit together and consolidated
after the disintegrating effects of the late
civil war, and the admission of such a vast
mass ot barbarism and ignorance as the
Southern negroes into our politics. Con
sidering that Spain itself has just gone
through a remarkable revolution, and is
striving to establish liberal institutions, it
would not bo creditable to our magnanimity
if we should take advantage of her unsettled
state to attempt to wrest from her a part of
her dominions which will surely fall to us in
time by the natural progress of events.
BRITISH OriNION OF THE ALABAMA
QUESTION.
From the iV. Y. Timet.
To speak of "the American'' or "the Brit
ish" view of the Alabama question is a
method of expression more convenient than
accurate. No statement ever yet made of the
question on this sido of the water deserves
being called "the American view," since we
have here all grades and shades of opinion
from Senator Sumner's to Senator Grimes';
and so, we fancy, it is in England, where
there is a wide diversity between tho positions,
for example, of Lord Stanley and the London
tstar. However, ono cardinal variance be
tween American popular demands and British
official offers, us they now stand, is that tho
former rest on a preliminary "acknowledg
ment of responsibility" for the Alabama's
ravages, while the latter make this very re
sponsibility matter for arbitration.
So long as this substantial difference re
mains, so long tho quarrel is open. It pre
cludes the possibility of peaceful settlement;
its only outlook is a conijiiiUui'i settlement at
some future day, when ono party may have
the other at disadvantage, as, for example,
while engaged in war with a third power.
Is there tiny hope that ono or the other may
yield? We frankly confess there is nothing
hero that looks like it. Here in America, as
has been said, we have many different views
of the grounds of British responsibility for
the Alabama's ravages. Some dedueo it from
a general "premature recognition of Confede
rate belligerency," others more specifically
from tho issue of the Queen's proclamation,
still others from British "national and
official sympathy" with the insurgents,
and others yet hold, as we ourselves
have insisted from the start, that tlifc real
injury is based on the fact that tho Ala
bama was simply a British vessel, directed
against American commerce (hostile naval
expedition proceeding from Liverpool as its
naval base, and afterward protected and pro
visioned in British colonial ports. But the
main point is that we all hold, without a dis
senting voice, that the British Government is
somehow, and on some ground, responsible
for the Alabama's ravages. That being so, it
is idle to hope for American consent to make
the decision upon thut responsibility doubtful
ly referring it to an umpire,
If thd pro lent
J5nt.ish Uovernmi
Government is not salisfiod of -the ex
istence of that responsibility, let it take time
to make up its mind regarding it. We, mean
while, do notjintend to run any risk of a deci
sion against us on this point. ;
How is it on the other sido of the water?
Do Englishmen cling to the key-point of the
discussion with a tenacity equally certain and
equally universal f If they do, then, as we
have said, good-bye to pacific settlement.
But. they do not so cling to it. Gu the cou
tnny, a largo body of Englishmen admit a
national responsibility for the Alabama's
career. For example, we see evidences of
sucn consentaneousness in the British press."
There is, it is true, a difference of opinion
amongst British journals in this matter, just
fH there is amongst our own and, indeed, it
is amusing to noto how patronizingly the
former spook of our inconsistencies, when
they themselves are quite as much at variance
so easy is it to see the mote in a brother's
eye, and h-j hard to note the beam in one s
own. Nevertheless, an a whole, tho British
press agrco on this particular point and an
essential ono it is mat the speetnc damages
canned by the Alabama should be paid by their
Uovernment. J
We admit that this is an utterance of the
unofficial sentiment of the British people, as
against the official sentiment promulgated
through the (lovernment. We admit, too,
that the latter is directly opposed to the for
mer, and has thus far never conceded re
sponsibility for specifio Alabama damages.
Indeed, there never was a livelier illustration
than at this moment of the wide difference
between unofficial national force, as repre
sented in the British press, and official na
tional force, as embodied in the British Gov
ernmentthe former is but tho monstrous
force of a bound giant, till it actually seizes
on and controls tho latter. Nevertheless, the
itttitndo of the British press is encouraging.
though it is national sentiment m Great Bri
tain that must settle this great problem.
sooner or later; and tho only question is.
which is likelier to be the mouthpiece of
public opinion, the true organ of national
purpose the press or any special Cabinet ?
We believe the former represents the real
potential British opinion.
Now, tho London press has for months
been urging or, rather, hintiiig-a course
which would satisfy America without compro
mising English national honor. This course
is to the specific Alabama claims. We
could cite indications of willingness to settle
the matter in thit way from half a dozen
leading English journals and yet it is some
thing which has never occurred to the
British Government to officially propose.
The latter will discuss and "arbitrate" till
tho crack of doom; but at the mention of the
simple word pmi official dignity revolts
"base is the slave that pays." On the other
hand, what we in America desire to get at
is, not arbitration save for settling accounts
after admitting original responsibilities but
payment.
What wo have demanded of the British
Government is, in a word, simply to follow
the suggestions of distinguished public men
among its own people. When onco it makes
up its mina (and nobody here urges haste in
its deliberation) that the Alabama was essen
tially a British ship, and not a Confederal
having never entered a Confederate port, it
win he prepared to assume tho proper respon
sibility for its specific outrages. All after
mat is ot easy settlement; lor ten lines :n
a diplomatic despatch, or ten words in the
preamble of a protocol, would sufficiently set
tle that difficulty without derogation from the
dignity of either party.
0U11 FOREIGN RELATIONS OUR NEW
MINISTERS ABROAD MEXICO.
From the X. Y. Herald.
utir loreign relations are pacilie ami pro
mise peace with all the nations of the world
and tho rest of mankind. Thanks to General
Webb. He has made it all right with Brazil.
Mr. Motley has declared to the delighted
Britishers that his programme is peace same
language, ties ot blood, institutions, trade,
Anglo-haxon civilization, and all that. Mr.
Washburne has exchanged with Napoleon the
warmest assurances ot a "nappy accord be
tween France and the United States, no allu
sion ueing maae to aiexico or den. uavis on
either side, those questions being settled. As
for Russia, Mr. Curtin at St. Petersburg will
meet with a hearty welcome, and he will lay
before the Czar the kindest and most friendly
acknowledgments from our Uovernment and
people touching the unbroken relations of
goodwill that have always existed between
the groat republic and the great empire.
As for Spain, Mr. Hale is awaiting at Madrid
the arrival of his appointed successor, General
hickles, and tne General, now in Washington,
is doubtless awaiting his instructions concern
ing the island of Cuba and the American eagle
tnat is, tne golden eagle. Meantime,
although the Cubans and filibusters are doing
very well in reducing for Spain the cash
valuo of tho island, Mr. Fish, it will be seen.
can have nothing to do with them, except to
eaten sucn outgoing niibusters as may happen
to fall in his way. . Nor does he like the idea
of declaring belligerent rights for the Cubans,
while England's belligerent rights to Jeff.
Davis are mixed up with those Alabama claims.
General Nelson, our new Minister to Moxico,
we are glad to learn, has arrived at the "Halls
of the Montezumas," and has raised quite a
ferment among the Mexican politicians from
tne prevailing report wnien ushered huu in,
that his mission is to gobble up the republio
without ceremony and without salt. At the
same time, while General Nelson was coming
in from the Atlantic side, General Rosecrans,
the retiring Minister, was going out on the
Pacific side, en rnttc to San Francisco. It
has been rumored that General Rosecrans had
been casting about for a treaty involving tho
cession to the United States of another strip
ot Xsortliern jiexico, including Tumauupas,
Alatamoras, uoiinuna, (Jliihuahna, Honors,
Lower California, and the Gulf of California,
and that the scheme had some connection
with a certain American land purchase in
Lower California from Juarez, and with Gene
ral Fremont's Southern l'acitio Railroad; but
we feuppose that as such negotiations, even
if entered upon by Rosecrans, were dropped
with his retirement, Generul Nelson will
begin uth a new set of books.
Here, at all events, is a splendid opportu
nity for General Grant to settle the Mexican
question to tho satisfaction of the civilized
world. In ltl7 certain Mexicau officials and
others, holding in their hands at the time the
power to act in the premises, in the city of
Mexico, proposed to General Scott to make
him Governor-General of tho whole country
in the name and in behalf of tho United
States, on a salary of a million of dollars a
year pro Uai.; but this liberal proposition
General Scott declined, because of the diffi
culty of fusing the wlfite, Indian, and negro
equulity of Mexico with the negro slavery
and .negro inferiority which at that day
were me corner-stones of the Constitu
tion of the United States, Now no such
dilUculty exists. On the contrary, with the
annexation, of Mexico, in the acquisition of
five or six millions of Mexican citizens of the
Indian race, we shall hv something like a
balance of power against our four millions of
negroes, which will not only establish a sort
f equilibrium between our Indians and ne
groes, but open the door at once to tho fusion
with our voting population of all tho Indian
tribes of the United States, with tho simple
.imposition of a penny tax.
In this broad lKilitical view of the subject. 1
it is to be hoped General Grant will open his
Mexican policy; and in every view, looking to
the establishment of law, order, trade, and
American enterprise in Mexico, he is called to
meet the demands of "manifest destiny."
MR. SEWARD AS A PROrHET.
Frvin the A'. '. Sim.
We mentioned a few days ago that Mr.
Seward assigned as one reason for making
his long journey lo China that ho expected a
break-up in the administration of President
Grunt within a year, and he was anxious to
be as far away as possible when that should
occur.
Mr. Seward has tried his skill as a prophet
before, but the event proved him a false pro
phet rather than a true one. He predicted
that the Rebellion wonld blow over in ninety
days, and significantly boasted that nobody
was hurt, thereby implying that nobody would
1)0 hurt. He proved to be as far from the
truth that time as he now "desires to get from
General Grant's administration.
In his present prognostication there is at
least a possibility that Mr. Seward may turn
out to lie in the right. We see that th
Jfmthf which has long been noted for its
political sagacity takes the same view as Mr.
Seward of the prospect before us. The Herald
says:
"An Incipient war hss commenced. lnliratlno- the
breaking vp of the Republican patty and of Utnrral
Oi ant a aitmxnttitratton.
Thus we see that the Herald sustains Mr.
Seward in his opinion of the fate which
awaits the administration. The next question
is, will the Herald support Mr. Seward as a
candidate for President? The Commercial
Ad vert iter would be pretty sure to support
him; and if the Herald should do so. he would
then have two papers in his favor.
