GltANT'S NEUTRALITY HUMBUG.
From the K. Y. World.
. "Tho promptness and enorey with which the ad
ministration has acted townnU tho Cuban filibuster
rannot be too highly commended. Ail the more
praise la due because the duty wiw ln "om,? respects
ungracious, If not actually unpopular. 'I tm
' Whether tholnoverficiit towards the funda
mental repeal of our neutral code which was
proponed in the lower houne of Congress,
gome two years ago, by Mr. Banks, the Chair
niau of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
passed that body by a unanimous vote, and
which was only defeated in tho Senate, aruid
.the ooDfusion of the closing honrs of the ses
flion, by the persirvtency of Senator Sumner in
demanding that it be referred under the rules
to an appropriate committee for considera
tion, was conducive to the future national
welfare of the United States, we do not pro
pose now to discuss.
R is sufficient for our present purposes that '
the enactment is now upon the statute-book,
find one of the laws which General Grant, not
four months ago, made oath that he would
take care was faithfully executed. lias he
kept his oath ?
The neutrality law makes it the duty of the
President to secure the punishment of tvery
citizen of the United States who aocepts and
exercises a commission to serve Cespedes in
war against Spain; : who hires or enlists in the
United States a soldier to serve under Ces
pedes: who enlists himself to thus sorve; or
who begins,' sets on foot, or provides the
means of any military expedition or enterprise
ngainst Spain. Has Grant executed this law
with "promptness and energy ?"
The eighth section requires the President,
When he nas reason to believe any such enter
prise or expedition exists in the United
(States, to employ, if need be, the land or
naval forces, or militia, to prevent their de
parture, lie is clothed by Congress with
every required power to arrest and detain the
expedition which his subordinates well know
has been in notorious existence in this city
for two weeks. Has he exercised the power
thus given ? The news reports of the Times
during the period the expedition has been
aggregated and organized in Broadway, Hous
ton street, and other localities in the neigh
borhood, furnish a sufficient answer.
The Washington correspondents of the
Times informed the public at the time that
Grant refused the application of the Spanish
Minister for the issue of a proclamation, simi
lar to those issued on Birnilar occasions from
the days of Washington, warning our people
not to take part in the insurrection. Why
was this ?
Did it come from the commitments, made
by Grant previous to his inauguration, in
respect to a combination by which a resolu
tion in favor of the insurgents was to be
rushed through Congress by General Banks,
and which actually got through the lower
house ?
Either there was no occasion for the pro
clamation of warning made by his predeces
sors in office rolk, Fillmore, and Pierce
in respect to Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua,
or else Grant was backward in his duty when
he refused the application of the Spanish
Government.
And yet the Times says:
"We are proud to Bay that nnr Onwornrnan did not
Buffer itself to be tempted for an instant. It was
enough for it that it was bound by its own neutrality
law and by the general law of nations to take no
active part in the conflict, and to debar its people
from any such part. It would connive at nothing,
sought no excuses for delay, practised no shifts or
subterfuges went straight to Its duty, and did it
eileotually. It kept the national faith perfectly, and
to-day that faith stands bright and clear before the
warld, not only above reproach, but above suspicion.
Such adherence to strict duty is refreshing. It car
ries us back to the earlier and better days of the re
public It is just such conduct as Washington and
Madison observed In similar circumstances towards
other nations, which gave us, while yet in the gristle,
matchless honor throughout the world. "
Will that journal inform xis of a single en
terprise or expedition in favor of Cespedes
and against Spain which the administration
has effectually prevented ?
Has it not, as fl Government, sold arms and
munitions of war, knowing they were for Ces
pedes, in violation of the duties of neutrality
announced in Mr, Stunner's speech, which, as
the Times published a day or two since, Grant
approves?
Will the Times produce a single order from
Washington, presumed to have the endorse
ment of Grant, which has directed the prompt
and energetio prevention of tho expedition
Under Eyan?
It ia notorious that the orders or instruc
tions from Washington relating to the en
forcement of our neutrality laws were, up to
the arrest of the Junta, confined to the deten
tion of the Quaker City; and the 'Times has
again and again said that the inculpation of
Lemus and his associates before the Grand
1 Jury and their subsequent arrest were pro
moted by the Spanish Consul in this city. The
Grand Jury ordered bills of indictment with
out and independently of any influences from
Washington. In fact, it was everywhere
known the day after the arrest of the Junta
that neither Grant nor his Secretaries were
aware that the movement was on foot. Dis
trict Attorney Pierrepont, when in court, on
the question of allowing the Junta to give
bail, carefully excluded the idea that he liad
any instructions from Washington, direct or
indirect. Ho . acted judicially under the
statute and on his own responsibility.
Why is it that the indictment and arrest of
the members of the Junta and their promi
nent military agents in this city, together
with requiring them to give bail not to violate
the neutrality laws a second time, produced
nearest raining influences on the operations of
the efficient managing persons, and the busi
ness went on just us before? Simply be
cause they felt Grant was on their side, and
would continue officially to shut his eyos,
and the eyes of all his Secretaries, to their
Conduct !
Whatever has been done thus far, within
our knowledge, to enforce tho law, has been
done outside of Grant's direct intervention;
and whenever that direct intervention has
t JLteen needed, as in the matter of arresting and
detaining the recruits of ltyan, which have
1 been inarching and countermarching across
the North river, disturbing the peace of the
community, nothing hut been done. A few of
I the Marshal's officers, iu fear of being served
I as was one of their number ill the Houston
treet Casino, have, to be sure, been follow-
ing these recruits about, but as powerless to
Arrest or detain as tnev are to stop the oourse
of the Hudson with a broom.
Take the case of the steamer Tent, which
everybody 'now admits acted in violation of
law when it provided the means ot conveying
un expedition to Cuba. That vessel now lies
in this vort, and her owners and her char
terers are here. Has Grant given any orders
to bring them within the penalties of violated
law J" lhe truth and tact are that, except
ing what the Spanish Consul has done through
the machinery of the courts of j
justice, which
of tie aid cf
fire CTPU t liiacpsaaimiy t
the administration, on presenting sufficient j
evidence, there has , been no prompt and
energetio enforcement of the neutrality laws. .
It is turoueh the Executive power alone, as
conferred by the eighth section of the law of
1818, that neutrality as to Spain can be e(T
ciently enforced, and such power Grant will
not exercise. What has been done through
the courts is just enough to annoy persons
and put them to expense but owing to the
inertness of the President, no public good
is accomplished.
To attempt to compare Grant's conduct
with that of Washington in 17! in which
latter case tho whole inspiration and action
came from within our own Government, and
not from without, in the person of a foreign
minister and his counsel, as is now the case
Is absurd. An expedition in 17'.):), fitted out
1y Genet, like the Ryan expedition fitted out
iy the Junta, would not have been free from
order of arrest in this city one hour after its
existence came to tho kuowlodgo of Wash
ington.
And yet it was President (Jrant who, in his
inaugural, Raid: "In regard to foreign policy,
I would deal with natioiw as equitable law
requires individuals to deal with each other.
I would respect the rights of all
nations, demanding equal respect for our
own."
It was President Grant who began his civil
career by saving: "It will be my endeavor
to execute all laws in good faith;' who even
said: "But all laws will be faithfully executed,
whether thev meet my approval or not. 1
know no method to secure the repeal of bad
or obnoxious laws so effective as their strin
gent execution."
INVOLUTION OF LABOR IN FRANCE.
From the N. Y. Times.
The riots succeeding the French elections
are evidently arousing some fear throughout
Europe. A majority for the government of
800,000 out of 8,000,000 votes is certainly not
encouraging to the Imperialists. To find,
moreover, that the extreme candidates do
better than the medium party, and that the
people care as little for constitutional mon
archists as they do for the advocates of the
empire, is a fact decidedly unpleasant for
the great bourgeoisie and for the com
mercial classes. But, more than this,
that all the great cities should
have witnessed serious disturbances be
tween the citizens and soldiers, and that
even barricades have been thrown up in
Paris, and everywhere the soldiers have
shown the greatest forbearance, are all evi
dences that the empire feels itself, and for
the time is, on an unstable basis. The anxiety
of Europe, however, is due to a more pro
found cause even than the dread of a politi
cal revolution in France. There' are symp
toms in this election which foreshadow
changes more momentous than the over
throw of dynasties. The Nation of this city,
in a recent remarkable letter from Paris,
written by an authority on French
matters, expressed what the European
press are beginning now to see, that the Ids
son of these late elections is a social rather
than political one; that this new movement
against the empire is, in fact, the first stir
ring of that grand upheaval of labor which
is before long to shake every social structure
throughout the civilized world. The
French otirriers are penetrated with the ideas
which Lasalle has represented in Germany,
and the "trades unions" are somewhat ex
pressing in England, and the "Eight-hour"
party embody here, that for centuries capital
lias wrung from luOor Us undue nliare or tne
profits of all production, that labor has been
tyrannized over and cheated and wronged,
that capitalists could combine or wait while
laborers were single and weak, and must work
or starve, and that now at length, either
under universal suffrage as in France and
America, or under trades unions in Great
Britain, they will force the capitalist class to
redress the wrongs of centuries.
No one can know who has not studied the
subject, what a vast confederation of labor is
forming throughout Europe, underlying all
forms of government, and soon to extend
itself even here. This great society of opera
tives and laborers do not much trouble them
selves whether they have Emperor or Presi
dent over them, Reformer or Tory, Demo
crat or Republican. What they are seeking
for is not a political revolution, but an
economical one. They do not care what
party or candidates represent them, provided
they can secure from the State or from capi
talists such terms as will put them more on
an equality with the latter. They have
heard of the axioms of political economy
long enough; of "wage-funds'' and such
other fallacies; of the impossibility of a
strike permanently raising wages, or legisla
tion giving them a greater share of profits in
production, and they will have none of them.
They have tested by practice that strikes can
raise. wages, as is the admitted result in Eng
land; that legislation can diminish hours of
labor, or, in other words, add to wages, as is
the experience here; and they believe, espe
cially in France, that the Government can put
them on a more even level with capitalists by
lending its credit or by forcibly raising their
wages, or by giving them a share in the
profits of manufacture. In some shape or
other, the operatives of Europe are deter
mined to secure some greater share of tho
vast returns which are now yielded by modern
industrial protection.
In England the trades union has almost be
come a governmental power, and will soon be
felt in Parliament. It controls now innume
rable branches of business and considerable
money force. It has already increased the
returns of labor, and co-operation is doing
still more in the same direction.
In France, the operatives, having the tre
mendous weapon of universal suffrage,' are
determined to secure their end by govern
mental means. They are putting in social
ist, or, at least, anti-capitalist members.
They expect legislative aid for their ,co
operative associations, and subventions of the
State and loans of credit for whatever
branches of industry they may choose as most
deserving. They have had enough of mode
rate Liberals, and want now the true "Rods,"
or at least the men in sympathy with the labor
ing classes.
Nupoleon will soon perceive their objects.
He understands this class, and in the great
coming struggle in France and Europe be
tween capital and lubor, we may be sure that
he will at once side with the masses. He has
no sympathy with the bourgeoisie, nor they
for him. The empire can rest as well on a
confederation of lubor, as on a representative
assembly. The on vriers have no objections
to a Napoleon, provided the State become the
patron of the workingmen. The empire will
do as well for them as a republio, if it loan
its credit, or organize work, and make tho
laborers, in effect, capitalists. Such is the
future which dimly shines out through the
mists of these elections.
ANDREW JOHNSON'S IDEAS OF GEN.
GRANT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.
Frmn the Ar. Y. lleraUU
Tho despatch from Washington giving the
wr.tvacil xi'.'as vf txTwsiiiciit Jylivju on
the character of General Grant and the prov '
pects of his administration, is making a gre.U
sensation. It has been, apparent or a long
time past that Mr. Johnson had something on
his mind concerning General Grant which
would Home day oome out; and now that it is
out, we are comforted by the thought that,
while General Grant will Rurvivo, Mr. Johu
non experiences a great relief. He ha1 cer
tainly spoken his mind very froely, and what
ever may be said of his bad temper and bad
taste, there are thousands of men throughout
the country who will chuckle over his denun
ciations of tho President as, tho very exposi
tion that was wanted to wake up the ad
ministration and arouse the people, and
to revive tho drooping Democracy,' and
declare that this pointed and pungent con
versation, in bhort, is a crown of glory to
Andy Johnson.
He says he knows Grant thoroughly, his
studied him, and is satisfied that he is the
greatest farce that was evor thrust upon a
people; that the little fellow has nothing in
him not a single idea no policy and no con
ception of the . political situation; that ho
don't understand the philosophy of a single
question, and is completely lost in trying to
understand his position; that he is menda
cious, cunning, and treacherous; that this
little fellow Grant is a mere upstart and acci
dent of the war; that he is a subject more for
pity than contempt; that physically, mentally,
and morally he is a nonentity; that his soul
could revolve a thousand years in a hazlenut
shell without knocking against its walls; that
he has no policy, no standard, no creed, no
faith; that he receives presents, and appoints
the givers to his Cabinet; that such a man
degrades the Presidential office; that he is a
mere incident of the war; that his fittest
place is that of assistant at a cross-roads horse
race; that he is a liar and a coward (Hoaven
save the mark !), and that under his adminis
tration we are tending to despotism or
anarchy, and to repudiation or a moneyed
aristocracy of bondholders; and soon to the end
of lhe chapter.
What is the cause of this ferocious phi
lippic from Mr. Johnson ? His provocatfon
has been great. First, he appointed General
Grant, under the Tenure-of-Oilice law, Secre
tary of War ad interim, in the place of
Stanton. Tho object was to head off Stanton
and Congress in Southern reconstruction, and
to use Grant for the purpose. But when
brought to the pinch, with the refusal of the
Senate to concur in the suspension of Stanton,
Grant, a law-abiding mau, delivered his office
back to Stanton. The correspondence between
Grant and Johnson on this subject reveals two
things very clearly first, that Johnson ex
pected Grant to back him up and head off
Congress; and secondly, that Grant all the
time was operating to support Congress and to
head off Johnson. The quiet acquiescence of
Grant in the action of the Senate reinstating
Stanton made a case of hostility between
Johnson and Grant as decisive and remorse
less as that between Hannibal and Rome,
From that day, under Johnson's charges of
treachery and falsehood, Grant, as far as pos
sible, suspended all relations with Johnson,
and more than once the General absented
himself on a journey to avoid some occasion
suggesting an offibiul or sociul necessity for
coming into contact with the President. This
state of war was continued down to General
Grant's inauguration, in which Mr. Johnson
took no part; and notwithstanding General
Grant's motto, "Let us have peace, there is
no peace yet between him and Johnson. And
has not Johnson cause enough for the wrath
or Hrxnnitml r r In It -nut ixrtmtrto tllHt Uad
Grant played into the hands, of Johnson in
that Stanton affair something might have
turned up that would have made Johnson
the Democratic candidate in 18U8, with Grant
nowhere ?
Hence all these outpourings of the vials of
wrath of Johnson against Graut go for nothing.
They are but the impotent ravings of a shal
low political schemer, defeated by the very
instrument he had chosen to draw his chest
nuts from the fire. Let them laugh who win.
General Grant can afford to laugh at the folly
of Andrew Johnson, and yet he cannot afford
to rest upon his laurels. His great achieve
ments in the w ar have made him President;
but upon his achievements as a practical
statesman will depend the public judgment
upon his administration; and he must do
something positive, practical, and popular as
President, or his administration will be a
failure.
