It is well known that, t he rec.ml arrests were Hot in pursuance of his instructions. Ihe lardy zeal of tho lonal oIUotm was Rolf twoninlcd. The President cannot reprimand ihem for attempting to enforce the law; but lie has given them, and means to give them, ,o etlieient stipport. It is not probable that Ihe leaders of the expedition will ever be Iried. The multitude of the enlisted men are lo bo Bet free without indictment, without )ftil, without unpleasant eonsoquencos of any laud to deter them from embarking in Hew enterprises as soon as a new oppor tunity is afforded. Indeed, tho idea of in flicting and trying a thousand men, ono by one, is impracticable and preposterous. Judi cial remedies are not adapted to emergencies in which multitudes of men run into a frenzy Mid violate the laws. Judicial process cannot liegin to act until after tho offense has been Committed. Judicial proceedings aro too plow, too technical, too much embarrassed by Iho necessity of dealing with each individual offender separately, and allowing swarms of Witnesses to be examined on each side, to tneet cases in which thousands of men rush into a violation of the laws by a common im pulse. The fact that General Grant does not ro beyond judicial proceedings, and that he does not even set these in motion, but merely refrains from actively obstructing them when pet on foot by subordinate otfiaers without his Jistructions, would of itself prove, even if wo Jail no other evidence, that tho affected neutrality of our Government is a sham and p farce. If the President hnd any sincere intention "Jo enforce the neutrality laws, he would long .lince have issued a proclamation, as has always been done in similar cases; and if tho jnere warning had proved insufficient, he would have had recourse to the preventive measures authorized by the act of April 'JO, 1818. The eighth section of that act is in the following words: "8. In every case In wlil:h a vessel shall be fitted Cut and armed, or attempted to he litted out and firmed; or In which tho force of any vessel of war, cruiser, or other armed vessel, shall be Increased or augmented ; or in whinh any military expedition or enterprise shall be begun or set on foot, contrary to the provisions and prohibitions of this act; and in every case of the capture of a ship or vessel within the jurisdiction or protection of the United States, as before defined ; and in ever? case in which any pro cess Issuing out of any court of the United States Bhall be disobeyed or resisted by any person or per sons having the cus'ody of uny vessel of war, cruiser, or other armed vessel of any foreign prince or Slate, or of any colony, district, or puopie, or of any sub jects or citizens of any foreigu prince or State, or of any colony, district, or people: In every such ease, it Bhull be lawful for the President of the United States, or such other person as ho shall have empowered for that purposu, to employ such part of the land or naval forces of the United Slates, or of the militia thereof, for the purpose of taking possession of and detaining any such ship or vessel, with her prize vr Jirizes, If any, In order to the execution of the pro ilbltlons and penalties of thW act, and to the restor ing the prize or prizes in the cuses In which restora tion shall have been adjudged ; and afso for the pur pose of preventing the carrying on of any such ex pedition or enterprise from the territories or Juris diction of the United States against the territories or dominions of any foreign prince or State, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the United dates are at peace." This section of the neutrality act confers ttpon tho President amplo authority for deal ing efficiently with such expeditions; but Pre Bident Grant has mado no uso of this autho rity. It Blumbers as a dead letter in the Statute book. For anything he has done or is likely to do under it, it might as well have never been enacted. The moral support of the Government is given to tho Cuban insur gents. With so much popular feeling as exists jn tneir iavor, ana tne moral stipport or tho Government, they will find tho means of fit ling out expeditions from this country, and tho hope of an open recognition will encou rage them to hold out, and prolong the con test perhaps until tho island is ruined. The diseases incident to the climate are making iiavoo of the Spanish troops. The dilatory tactics adopted by the Cubans, who suffer much less by sickness, may enable them to wear out all the! forces that can be sent from pain. Both parties to this contest, and the United Estates as interested spectators, have a com mon interest in shortening the struggle, and permitting the industry and commerce of tho island to be revived. If tho insurrection is to be crushed, the sooner it is crushed the Jjetter; if it is to succeed, tho sooner it sno ceeds the better. An early decision either Way would be better for all parties than the desolation of the island by a sanguinary con test, continued until its industry and pro perty are destroyed and its- population re duced to barbarism and beggary. With President Grant'B known predilections, the influence of our Government is likely to bo exerted in such a way as to prolong the strug gle and desolate the island a result more to be deprecated than any other. Is there no solution of this difficulty whioh Would satisfy the honor and save tho interests of all concerned "r Considering the attitude of our President, the unsettled condition of the Spanish Government at home, and the Jiopes entertained by the insurgents, we can jee but one solution; and that is, the sale of Cuba by Spain to the Cubans. Spain had far better sell tho island at a fair price than conquer it by a long and wasteful struggle which would destroy tho value of the posses sion. The troops, which aro falling victims to the climate, are needed at home to aid in con Bolidatiner her now institutions. Sho had Jbetter sell the island while it has a value, than light for it till it becomes worthless. On the uthor hand,it would be more for tho advantage of the Cubans to purchase it while it has a value, than to win it by a protracted strug gle,' from the enects of which it might re quire years, and perhaps generations, to re cover. They could atlord to start with a debt, if they could have tho island before it is ravneed and laid waste by war. Its wonder ful resources are, as yet, not much impairod, Tho taxes which they now pay to Spain for nongovernment would suffice to discharge a heavy debt. They would need no army or navy for any other purpose than the preser vat ion of domestic order. Against toreign ftcpreshion tho United States would feel bound to protect them, as it has long been tho Settled determination of this, country that Cuba shall never pass into the hands of any ither foreitm power than Spain. A police, tiipportod by a militia which could be called out in an emergency, is all the armod force independent Cuba would need, if she has capacity for self -government. She would need no greater revenue to support her civil esta blishments than is required by an avorago State in our Union. The exorbitant sunn extorted by Spain in taxes could bo no.trly all devoted to the extinction of the debt in curred by the purchase of the island from tho mother country. Spain would, of course, require a guaran tee for the payment of the debt; an I if tho question should ever reach that stago, it might bo worth tho consideration of the American Government and people whether their interest in the island is not sufficient to justify them in giving tho guarantee. Wo should, of course, require security, and it might be given by a pledge of the duties col lected on specified articles of commerce. IT Cuba should choose to come into the Union before her debt was flnnlly extinguished, wo should have to pay the remaining balmce of tho debt, as Cuba would then relinquish to us the chief sources of her revenue. Whatever merit, or want of merit, there mnv be in this plan, its agitation as a serious proposal would at least test tho sentiments of the property holders of Cuba in relation to independence and tho capacity of tho people of tho islnnd for self-government. Their taxos would bo no heavier than at present; and if they believe that order would be maintained-and property secure under an inde pendent government, it is for their interest to favor the project. We should liko to see the disposition and judgment of tho Cuban property-holders thus brought to a practical test. Tho opinion of tho shrewdest and most intelligent part of the inhabitants would be of great value on such a subject. They would probably think, as we have long thought, that tho people of Cuba are not very well qualified for republican institutions. But surely they had better flounder through the experiment than have tho island wast 3d and desolated by a long war. The chances of success as an independent nation are certainly better thon the absolute and irretrievable ruin that would result from a protracted civil war. If such a calamity could be averted, and the property, industry, and commerce of the island be saved, by a purchase from Spain guaranteed by the United States, the project would be worth considering. "UNDER WHICH KING?" From, the Ar. Y. Tribune. Hon. Alex. II. Stephens is writing, and has partly published, a history of our late un pleasantness, which he entitles "The War Between the States." Mr. Stephens has just felt impelled to write a letter explaining away the major propositions of his book. It strikes us that Mr. Stephens might have wisely refrained from writing his book, and thus Rpared himself the nnnoyanco of writing his letter. But our readers shall judge for them selves. Mr. Stephens' theory is that the Union was a mere league of sovereign powers, and of course dissoluble at the pleasure of those powers respectively of a minority, or, in fact, of any one of them, so far as that ono is concerned. And ho quotes suudry conspicuous Republicans among them Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin F. Wade, and Horace Greeley as having, at some time, favored this view. Mr. Stephens is utterly mistaken. Leaving others to speak for themselves, we can assure him that Horace Greeley never, at any mo ment of his life, imagined that a single State, or a dozen States, could rightfully dissolve tho Union. The doctrine of Horace Greeley, which Mr. Stephens has confounded with State sovereignty, is that of papular sove reignty, or the right of a peojde to recast or modify their political institutions and rela tions the right set forth by Thomas Jeffer son in the Declaration of American Indepen dence, as follows: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it Is the right of tlte J'eople to alter or abolish it, and to Institute a new government, laying Its foundation on such principles, and organizing Its powers in such form, fas to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happluess." This doctrine of Jefferson's wo have ever received; and we have held it precisely as it reads. The same ia true, we presume, of Messrs. Lincoln, Wado, and other Republi cans. Mr. Stephens may say it justifies the so-called secession of tho South; we think differently. We hold that secession tho work of a violent, subversive, bullying, terrorizing minority, overawing and stifling the voice of a decided maionty or the soutnern peopie. The facts which justify this conclusion are embodied in "The American uonnici, more especially in Vol. I, chap. xxii. According to Mr. (Stephens conception, a majority 01 the people of Delaware, consisting of less than 100,000 persons, might lawfully dissolve the Union, but the whole population ot JNew York south of tho Highlands at least 1,500,00) in number could do nothing of the kind. Mr. Stephens' may possibly be tho true doctrine, but it certainly never was ours, nor of any Republican so far as we know. The right we affirm is not based on the Fede ral Constitution, but is before and above any and all Constitutions. Mr. Stephens in his letter or codicil says: "When I stated that secession had been abandoned by the people of the Southern Slates, I meant all that I sulil, and uttered nothing but the U utii. Its abandonment was accepted In good faith as one of tne results 01 tne war. it is no longer loosen to in any contingency as a practical remedy or check agnim-t any usurpations or abuses of power on tho part of the Federal Government. Tills abandon uient on their rart has been manifested In every form In which public as well as private honor can bo pledged. All the Stated in their conventions have, without equivocation, given It an emphatic abandonment. Even the Southern Generals In the Newiork Convention lust year, to whom such an unkind allusion is mudo by Judge Nicholas, gave their pledged honor to this abandonment by unani mously sustaining the platform of principles then unnouueed. Whether they were 'unpardoned' or not, their Individual honor and Integrity as men were certainly untarnished and unsullied, fur be yond the reach of all Impeachment or reproach. This ting of Judge Nicholas ut the Southern Oenerals was, as It seems to me, no less unkind than unjust. Why he should have applied to them the epithet of 'unpardoned I know not, for, if I am correct in my recollection, the Imputation is utterly without foun dation In fact. "So utterance of mine, therefore, presents to the poople of the North or South the question of seoes tilou asa living iHStte. This Is but the work of Ima gination on the part of Judge Nicholas. I opposed It as an expedient remedy at the time it was re sorted to, though I bilieve l It to be a rightful one. And, though I believe It to be the rightful one, I did not believe it to be the only one, much less the eurcHt or the best 0110. I then thought, and still think, that there were ether remedies much more practicable and expedient." It seems to us that Mr. Stephens hore repeats his old blunder, and that it is ono which threatens to be mischievous. Mr. Stephens in 1800 believed secession rightful but inexpedient. Ho now says tho South (hit South) has abandoned secession that it is no longer regarded by her as a practical remo.ly for Federal abuses and usurpations. We accept this statement as true of course, so far as Mr. Stephens is concerned. Others will speak for themselves. But consider: I. The Federal Constitution, as originally ratified, either authorized State secession or it did not. Mr. Stephens says it did. II. If it ecer authorized that resort, it now authorizes It; for no amendment since adopted has taken from tho States the right to secodo. III. If the power to soeedo is resorvod by 1 tho States, certain of them may af, any time see fit to exercise it. Tho fact that Mr. Stephens ia 1 SCO did not doom sun'i oxerci 13 expedient did not prevent Gjiria'a sojoniou then, and may not at the next attempt. IV. Should Georgia resolva tJ s9 ).i la, sin vill have Mr. Stephens' assertion of her right to do so in blnck and white. II iving seoa.leJ, ;he will rnassert her paramount authority, and command his aoquio.-iconjo. An 1 ho will bo constrained by his own proclaim.! I prinaiplos to obey her then, as he did in lrtiiih On the whole, we submit that Mr. Ste phens should write us beseems a rocmst ructe I Unionist, or mark his letters "private," and keep them so. Mr. Stephens' error is one eminently prac tical. A good many men who hnd been edu cated at West Point by tho Union for tho Union left her service in 18til to load the armies raised to destroy her. Many of them, including tho most eminent, have recorded their conviction that secession was neither necessary nor expedient; yet even General Lee felt constrained by such considerations as moved Mr. Stephens to "go with his State." Now we have no tasto for digging up the mouldering bones of bygone controversies. "Let the dead bury their dead." We do not quarrel with those who thought and actod as Mr. Stephens or General Leo did in lHOO-b'l, as to the propriety of such action then. But we have a country, a government, a military and a naval sorvico, with costly schools to match; and wo do most earnestly protest against commissioning or training ono more military or naval officer who holds that a State may rightfully secede from the Union, and call with anthori ty on her sons to follow her. The country has no money to spare to educate soldiers whom another power (or forty others) may command to draw their swords against her. Let bygones be bygones; but lot us have a clear understanding and a plain chart as to the future. THE CHINESE LABOR QUESTION, From the N. Y. Herald. Tho question of the introduct ion of Chinese laborers is exciting great interest all over tho country, and a largo munbsr of our exchanges come to us with article) and comments thereon. But it is more particularly in tho South that the greatest interest is awakened. Wo pu blirhed on Monday the call for a-conven- tion in Memphis, of delegates from tho citios, towns, and counties of tho neighboring States, to consider the subject and initiate plans for bringing in large numbers of Chinese under labor contracts. One of the leading Chinese operators in this business in California has announced his intention to attend the con vention for tho purpose of offering contracts, aud we are informed thtt pirtios in New York are preparing to visit Memphis at the same time with oilers of great facilities for transportation. The convention will meet on tho lath instnnt, and there is no reason why fifty or a hundred thousand Chiuoso should not be put on tho cotton plantations of the South in time for the picking of next year's crop. That the convention at Memphis will be numerously attended there c.tunot be tho slightest doubt; but though eminent as agri cultural laborers, it is not alone in tilling the earth that the Chinese aro adapted to fill our social wants. The experiment has been made in California, and has proved a success. Nearly two hifndred thousand Chinese have already poured in through the Golden Gate, and to-day they dig the mines and tho canals, build the railroads, till the vineyards aud the gardens, till tho household duties of cooks. laundrymen and male servants, throng in the factories, the foundries, the mills, and the machine shops, and are ready to undertake any kind of labor, heavy or light. In fact, to them is due the great revolution in produc tion in California, which enables home indus try and skill to supply every public want and contribute to the rapidly increasing wealth of tho community. They-are industrious to a high degree, frugal and shrewd in business, keen in finance, and will create wealth where others would starve. Their intellectual cul ture is of a high order, and the moral pre cepts of their faith assimilate in a high degree with those of tho Christian religion. Tho stimulus that brings them hither is the vast difference in tho wages of labor in tho crowded area of the Chinese empire, where a working man can earn but a few cents a day, and those of our own prosperous but thinly settled country. The channels of communi cation and supply, now but just opened, must continue to increase in capacity until an ap proximation in the level of wages has been reached. Where that level will lie it is now impossible to estimate. The advent of steam, the rail, and the electric wire in China, will tend to increase employment and raise tho wages of man there, as they have done here and in Europe, by increasing the facilities for distribution and consumption of his produc tions. Whether tho men of China bo brought here to till our lands and attend our machines, or the machines be taken to China, the effect upon the general condition of mankind mnst be the same a great increase in production, and a commerce that will surpass the wildest dreams of the merchant. It is estimated that the steam engine has increased tho productive powers of the twenty millions who inhabit England a hundred fold, and it is a known fact that while population in auy country in creases in a given arithmetical ratio, commerce increases in a similar geometrical ratio, so that when the population has doubled their trade has increased fourfold. 'Apply this rule to our own production and commerce under the stimulus of Chinese im migration, or to those of China under steam on her rivers and canals, and in har manufac tories, and it will almost seem that a milieu mum 01 tiaue is close at hand, when everv man shall be clothed in silks, and every woman be decked with pearls. This problem is des tined to be first worked out in the great valley ot the Mississippi, throuim the aeiicv of steam on tho racilic Ocean and multiples of the iron way from the l'acitic to the great river. Already un agency in St. Louis an nounces that it is ready to contract to deliver fifty thousand Chinese laborers, and General Forrest hus closed for ono thousand to fill a railroad construction contract which he has' undertaken. Tho South is the first in the field, because, in consequence of recent events, her needs are greater thau ours. But wo have our needs, too, which tha Chinese luimigiaut can and no doubt will fill. The mission which pertains to us, however, is to see that this greut experiment in human de velopment under constitutional government be conducted with that respect for individual rights which our laws and our treaties guaran tee. Conflicting immigrations from Europe and Asia to our great field of enterprise will give rise to many interesting problems in social government, in morals and in religion; for with industrial and commercial prosperity comes ereat mental activity. They can all harmonize under the panoply of free govorn ment, and our ability to lead them to that ro suit will be the highest tost of our greatness as a peoplo. HAVE AMERICANS ANY RIGHTS IN CUBA? .... rrirn the S. Y. Time. We have repeatedly called the attention of the Government to the necessity of taking k!cj s for the vindication of the rights of Ama licnns resident in Cuba. ' When news reached us by telegraph a few dnvs bro of the execution of two Amerio ins by the Spanish Authorities, we called upou 1'irhident Grant tq, direct immediate inquiry into the facts of these cases in order that it might be satisfactorily determined whether the men wore guilty of the offense; charged agniiiht thorn, or whether tho Spanish authori ties might not have been led to the perpetra tion of a great crimo through their exeito nient about American filibusters and thoir anger against American sympathy with tha revolution. There is now more reason than ever why the Government should promptly direct in quiry into the matter. We now know that at least one of the Americans (Shoakmin) who was executed, denied being a filibuster, or being in complicity with any filibustering movement. Ho avowed on oath that he en gaged in New York as a sailor 011 board tho Grnpeshot for tho voyage to Falmouth, not knowing she was to tako on filibusters and land them in Cuba. Ho was left on tho Cubau Rhore against his will, and while employed in unloading a boat, the Grapeshot having loft suddenly and unknown to him. He declined taking part with .the filibusters after tho ves sel was gone, and as soon as the Spanish troops appeared he voluntarily surrendered to them. The American Acting Consul at San tiago labored hard to save his life, as also did the British Consul, but tho Spaniards never theless proceeded to execute him at their leisure. We have, along with the report of this case, an account of another case in which a British subject (Robinson) was arrested and inipri sonod on a Spanish acsnsation at Matanzas; but tho British Commodore Thilliniore hastened to the place on an iron-clad and de manded the man's release. Tho Spanish functionary agreed to the demand, but the troops threatened to kill Robinson if rolcasod; whereupon the British Commodore, accom panied by a number of naval officers, weut ashore, marched to the prison, released Robinson, conveyed him to the British iron clad, and thus secured his safety. At tho same time he forwarded to the Captain General explicit demands for full satisfac tion in another case of wrong to a British subject. Are American citizens less entitled to pro tection and justice in Cuba thai! British citizens? Are American officers and func tionaries less prompt and determined than British officers in enforcing the rights of their countrymen who may be outraged abroad ? Tho Government must see to this mattor at once. There are large numbers of Americans resident in Cuba who have been guilty of no offense against the Spanish powor, and to ward whom our Government is bound to soe there is no wrong perpetrated. THE SUMMER EXODUS. From the X. Y. Times. Probably in no civilized country is there such a hegim of people from their homes, in the summer months, as in the United States. From the city to the country, from the coun try to tho sea, from tho sea to the mountains, there is an incessant stream of travellers seek ing rest, or change, or society, or solitude, some wanting moist air and some dry, some the luxuries ot a hotel, and others the hard ships of the wilderness, and all desiring a chunge of scene and occupation. Tho climate of this country compels these changes more than that of Europe, or even of our own East ern coast. Few families in our cities preserve the health of their children without giving them a iew weeKs in summer in the hekls or on the sea beaches. The destroying pestilence among city children mokra infantum is best of all averted by mountain air. Very few boys or girls grow up to full beauty and vigor in our largo cities who have no vacation 111 the country. And the experience of all business men in New York is that the best economy, both of health and pocket, is to give some few weeks of tho year to entire change of scene, and to rest or exercise among the mountains or by the sea. Our best-preserved professional and business men, who enjoy more than a fortune in thir health, are always thoso who have made a point of taking their annual vacations, what ever was the pressure of affairs. And in our climate, the business people, even in the country, rarely get through a year healthfully wnnout a uriei visit to tne sea-siae. Ameri cans are fast learning the lesson that no suc cess in a profession and no amount of wealth can compensate for a moment tho loss of health and nervous vigor. Our people are fortunate in having such a large selection of different resorts for their summer residonce, all peculiar in their fea tures and attractions. A sea coast, extending, we may say, for pleasure purposes, from the mouth of the Chesapeake to the frontiers of Maine, offers itself to the lovers of yachting, sea bathing, and sea air. Mountains, from the picturesque region of Western Virginia to the wild and solitary Adirondacks aud tho grand peaks of tho White Mountains, present innumerable resorts for those who prefer the pure sir and grand scenery of high altitudes. For those seeking wild life aud sporting, the lakes of Maine and the Adirondack lake country will give an entirely new and invi gorating recreation. Those more ambitious may try the sulmon fishing in the streams of the Provinces, or buffalo shooting on the Kansas prairies, or explore the "Switzerland of America," the Rocky Mountains, or emn late the Alpine Club among tho high peaks and unexplored canons of the Sierras. This country offers innumerable resorts for health and amrsement during the summer. '1 ho more of our overworked population who can seek them, the better for tho popular neaur. FQR SALE.
