2 THE DAILif EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1869, srzxiiT or Tiin run as. Eilllorlnl Opinion of the Iicnrlln: JonrnnU l lon Current Toilc-:neii!li'l Kvrrjr DriY lor tho Kvenlna Teli'itrapn. A RELIC OF THE OLDEN TIME. From the X. Y. Times. a ,.;, .t firn-piitpr still lives, and his Louie is Mobile. And tue duieiu oi tue demo cratic candidate for Congress in that district troubles him. And he vows that that defeat, having been earned by the indifference of white incii, shall he atoned lor by immediate repentance or blood. Of this ancient flro-enting senfinient tho Mobile JiqMer is tho organ. It declares that the election of a Republican member for its district is a calamity for which "tho white Mien who have thought proper to absent them selves from the polls' are responsible. It propounds tho inquiry, "Are we for over to be the bondsmen and serfs of an invading pnng of plunderers?" and responds with a thundering No ! "We have, as a people, lionn patient oil, now pa tient t lor years, bei'uiise we looked to a united people nt home, and to a more generous reeling at t lie North, for relief from our Intolerable tmrdyns. It never entered Into our plans or purposes to en dure the present condition of atralrs forever. But now that, after four years of endurance, we Mud our selves deserted ly enough of our own people to se cure the ascendancy of C. II. rule over us, we are forced to look about for other and new remedial measures. Those of us who mean to he free at all hn.iirds must do one of two things cither, first, de sert this I', B. and negro-cursed laud, and Ilud a home whose air we can breathe without stilling, or we must resort to tUe ultima ratio, and drive our tyrants away. JIad the white delinquents at the polls come to the front, there had been no occasion lor thoughts like these. The majority of this people mean to hnve tlielr liberties, and If blood conies of it its stain will be upon the garments of those who, having before them a peaceful solution of the coun try's (litllctiltles, and refusing to aid in It, have forced men to think of sterner remedies.'' Hut the R 'jixta' reckons without its host. The majority of its neighbors are not of the lire-eating fraternity, or the defeat it deplores had not occurred. It was beaten at the polls because the majority are on the other side. They are quite as anxious for the maintenance of their liberty, probably, as are the class for whom the lieyMtr speaks; but they interpret liberty in a more rational rousc. To tho mind of the fire-eater that much-abused term formerly meant liberty to Hog negroes and . . . J. .1 rule the btate; anil now it means liberty to expel Northern and colored citizens who re fuse to vote the Democratic ticket. The majority who are not fire-eaters prefer the liberty which is according to law; tkey can Lreathe tho air of homo without Ktitling. or without wasting words about "tho ultima ratio" because theyhavo made up their minds to labor and to wait for the happier time which a little common sense and good feeling will assuredly bring. The Ilnjistt r, however, will be satisfied with nothing less than another war: "These reflections lead us to believe that we have entered upon a new phase of this extraordinary revolution, and that the years to come will not lie as quiet as those that have passed. It Is not in the nature of men, especially of men of our race, to sit down supinely while they are taxed to a confiscation of their property by a handful of strangers. Unites will light for their lives, their food, and their young, and our homes, our subsistence for wives and chil dren, are threatened; and when liberty Is thrown iuto the scale with the means of livelihood, ami when we are boldly told if we do not like it we can abandon our country, an issue Is presented that Is not long debatable. When that issue comes to be made up and It Is imminent it is one that a spark may at any moment kindle Into a conflagration our noa-voting while people will disc ver that they had some Interest in the late election. They will Have to light, whereas they only had to vote." Here is a Southern Hip Van Winkle one in whose veins courses the blood of the w hole race of fire-eaters ! Tho slight excitement of nn election has awakenod him from a nine years' sleep. He rubs his eyes and sees those who were once his slaves his equals at the ballot-box; he sees white men voting tor a Republican candidate, and a large crowd of white men content to let tho Republican win. The spectacle is too much for his venerable nerves. Ho swears and raves like a lunatic. He threatens vengeance against white and black alike. He sharpens his bowie-knife and polishes his riile. And then, rushing to the tile of the licyixter tor August, 18.).), ho para phrases its vaporings, and dreamily contem plates tue sensation they will produce. The multitude who have not been asleep know that tho intervening ten years have somewhat mnteriaUy altered the situation They have had one war, and think that quite enough. It has changed the relations of tho races, and in some degree the theory of the Government; but they havo faith in the supe rior intelligence and capacity of the whites, and are not afraid of tho final results. It has left them embarrassed, with rich fields deso late and old homes in ruins; but they are doing their best to reorganize industry and regenerate business, and they feel that their efforts will be rewarded with success. These men don't treasure tho files of tho Reiinier. They are ready to subscribe a moderate sum with the view of transferring them to tho archives of tho Southern Historical Society, as a memorial of the niaduess that once reigned in Mobile. But they have no thought of hearkening to an oracle that is behind the age. They showed their purpose on this sub ject by going to the polls in friendly compe tition with the blacks, or by staying away from the polls, and so helping the voters to defeat the Democratic candidate. One thing is certain. If tho Roister has not sufficient influence to force the Mobile whites to vote, it is not likely to bo able to drive them into another light. Its thuuder is too theatrical to frighten anybody. The misfortune is that the threats of one noisy fire-cater will bo turned to account by his noisy counterpart in the North, always on the lookout for utterances of this sort, and we shall bo told in next week's Ait ti-Slt very titt(ln that the Mobile whites are pre paring for bloodshed and violence, and the words of the Rt'ihtt r will be cited iu proof of it. Passions are thus stimulated which all good men would gladly see extirpated; pre texts for persecution are furnished which those familiar with the facts know to be un tenable and unjust. In this way the South suffers from blows inflicted by those who pretend to be its peculiar friends. Mobile w ill be happier when the lust lire-eater passes to another ana more enduring slumber. (JEN. FREMONT AND HIS RAILWAY. From the X. Y. Tribune. Tho fact that General John C. Fremont, now in l'aris on business connected with the projected "Memphis, El Paso, and Pacific Railroad," whereof he is president, has there encountered obstacles and embarrassments growing out of misrepresentations set afloat w ith regard to our Government's connection with that project, has been set forth in some journals in such a manner as to prejudice unjustly both General Fremont and his rail road. NVe need not assure our readers that General Fremont has mndo no misstatements, but many will be glud to learn that none havo leen made on his authority or by tho com pany whereot no is president. Whatever misapprehensions may at any time have existed must have grown out of tho state ments of persons engaged in selling the bonds of tho company, and too eager to make profits (ij be cureful of facts. It nccniH that, on tho 20th of Januiry latt. 1 Mr. Harlnn submitted to the Benato a bill ' which granted the right of way to Goneral Iremont's road, and proposed a Unite 1 States guarantee of tho six per cent, bonds of the company to a specified amount. Whether this guarantee was special or general, we do not know; though we bolieve it contemplate I a Northern as well as a Southern Pacific R til rood, and perhaps two or three branches. Rut, whether general or special, we are in flexibly opposed to all such guarantees. The Government has virtually supplied the means wherewith one railroad from tho Missouri to the Pacific, over tho most difficult and deso late route, has already been constructed. There the subsidy business must stop. To grant lands in uid of a projected railroad through tho public domain is another matter. The Government may well afford to give alternate sections for a breadth of twenty miles or so along the track of any traus-con-tinental railroad; for the lands retained will bo worth far more than tho whole were prior to the construction of tho road. If four rail roads across the continent were built, and each were to be conceded alternato sections for twenty miles along its track, tho public domain, though thereby diminished iu area, would be largely increased in value. Hence we favor land-grants to important railroads. Rut General Fremont's road, since wo had any knowledge of it, has asked of Congress merely the right of way across tho public lands; and this the House voted (February '!'.) to grant yeas, 121; nays, 41. Au other resolve to the same effect was adopted by the new House, a month later yeas, 102; nays, lit. That the Benato would have con curred if it had been allowed to vote on tho question, was never doubtful; but tho pres sure of business and unfair mameuvres in commit tee precluded any act ion thereon last spring. "NVe cannot doubt that tho right of way will bo promptly conceded next winter. A third joint resolve to the same effect with the foregoing was submitted to tho Senate (March !) by Governor Morton, referred to its Committee on Public Lands, favorably re ported (April H) by that committee, and now awaits decisive action. General Fremont's road commences at the head of navigation on Red river, and pushes thence nearly due west throughNorthern lexas; Arizona, and Southern California, to San Diego on the Pacific. 1 ollowing mainly the course of Red river nnd the Gila, it cannot lie nearly so expensive or difficult as tho central road already constructed, while it will en counter no obstruction from snows and little from mountains. Its eastern tei'iuinus will be promptly connected with railroads to Memphis, Savannah, and other commercial points. It inherited some sixty or eighty miles already graded before the Rebellion, and which only failed to be ironed be cause tho Confederacy took away the rails, chairs, etc., for use elsewhere. It is pushing on the work of grading, has a large quantity of rails bought and paid for, has had three lull corps ol engineers in the field for months, making tho final loca tion of its liue through Texas, which State has incorporated it, granted it tho right of way, and 10,210 acres of State lands for each mile in its course through the whole northern border of its vast domain. The Memphis and Little Rock Company has voted to unite and consolidate with General r remont s road, which expects to have l.M) miles of its track completed and cars running thereon by the 1st of March next. Such, according to the best information we can gather, is the present xtnlit of Gene ral h remont s Southern Pacific Itailroad. We do not learn that it is asking our people to aid it by subscriptions, loans, or favors of any kind, beyond the right of way through deso late Arizona, w hich we presume no Congress will ever voto to refuse it. We hope and trust that it will be steadily pushed on to completion, and that, while our country will bo immensely enriched by it, General ire. niont and his associates in its construction will not be losers. ANDY JOHNSON IN THE SENATE AGAIN. From the X. Y. Hun. Tennessee is agitated over the choice of a Senator to fill the seat which Mr. Fowler va cates in March, 171. Outside of the State it seems to be taken almost for granted that Andrew Johnson win be the suceesstui man. The relative strength of the various elements that make up the majority ol the Legislature is not vet apparent, but we doubt whether the ex-President will be able to clutch the prize so easily as his admirers imagine. Any taction that thinks ot choosing John son will know in advance precisely what they are going to have; and this will make shrewd politicians wary ot bestowing upon him for six years the influential position of United States Senator. Unless a chance has come over him hardly short of a miracle, he will return to the Senate not t be a follower, but a leader. The history of American politics does not 1 urnish a character whoso escutcheon might more appropriately bear the motto: "Rule or ruin."' The last four years eonclu sivcly show that if the party which ho attempts to lead should venture to resist his domination, he will do his best to destroy it And this eventful period has also demon strated that he is one of that class of leaders whose friendship is more dangerous than his enmity, and who is more likely to harm his followers than his antagonists. Should Mr. Johnson, then, be chosen to the Senate, whom will he attempt to lead ? Certainly not the Republicans, tor he will enter Congress as their implacable foe. Tho red banners of the hitmlcrUli v, shaken deti nntly in the face of the bull in tho nuiphith litre of Madrid, do not more infuriate the ani mal and rouse him to fight even unto death than the countenances of Fessenden, Conk- ling, Howard. Nye, and their Republican colleagues in the Senate Chamber would in Hume the anger and invoke the "damnable iterations" of Andy Johnson. To tho Demo crats, therefore, he must look for his fol lowing. Doubtless it would bo a spectacle truly grat Hying to the Democracy, both within and without the Capitol, to witness Johnson's on slaughts upon the Republicans; and if they could only contrive to have him open his oratorical batteries upon the cohorts of Grant's administration, without being drawn into tho melee themselves, their joy would bo un alloyed. Rut Johnson is not the man to go to war at his own charges, nor to get up a light merely for the benefit or amusement of others: and he will let tho Democracy know at the very outset that ho either rules or ruins, leaving tl.em to find out in tho end, perhaps, that he sometimes does both. Self-reliant, self-willed, and combative: courageous up tw tho point which lies a little this side of actual peril; not destitute of valu able resources in debate; with a rough, robust energy, which makes him not a desirable antagonist to grapple with; and smarting under the terrible excoriations oi tno men whom he would confront in tho north wing of the Capitol, Johnson would infuse into the proceedings of the Senate n good deal of neri j.iot.v and luibulcnce, to the amusement of Home portions of the pooplo and tht? disgust of oihers. This, however, would not satisfy Andy. He is nothiug without Roniethiug which he cm call my policy; and by sheer forco of will and fertility of invention, he would commit tho Democracy to a series of impracticable issues and disastrous measures, from wuieii they could not escape without docliniip' or even resisting his leadership, whereupon he would do his best to circumvent and ovei whclm them. If the Democracy of Tennes see can only be induced to send hitu back to Washington, he may in the future, as ue u.ih done in tho past, enable the Republicans to win battles which they would otherwise ha pretty snro to lose. They owe negro suffrage to him; and their success in the next rresi dcntial contest may possibly depend upon his election to the Senate. FREE CUD A. From the X. Y. World. Our information by telegraph from Madrid and from Washington permits no further doubt that the administration has caused to bo laid before the Spanish government a pro position for the political independence of Cuba, similar in its outlines to that originally developed in the WovUI, and that the result has been what, our readers will boar us wit ness, we predicted it would be if the leprous Sickles were permitted to bo in any souso an intermediary. Ihe proposition was made the subject ol a Cabinet council at Washington and approved. It was also then determined that it would bo prudent, in tho existing emergency, not to trust everything, in so important a negotia tion, to Sickles. Mr. Paul S. Forbes, of this city, was therefore sent to Madrid by tho ad ministration as a confidential Government agent in association with the nowly-ap- pointed Minister a place for which his former intimacy with Prim especially qualified him. Full private directions wore given to Mr. Forbes by tho State Department, and formal instructions to Sickles. Both were aimed at the single point of endeavoring to persuade Spain to concede political sovereignty to the Cubans, on condition ol tho latter pledging themselves, iu proper form, to pay to Spain a certain sum of money, which payment was to be in some manner guaranteed by the United States. Refore the administration decided to issue such instructions, conference was had with the Cespedes embassy in this country, headed by Al. Morales Lenins, and the plan was so heartily approved by him that, in behalf of the Cuban insurgents, he entered into a written agreement a sort of protocol with tho Government that Cuba would, on its part, carry out the terms to be submitted by tho United Mates (as we have heretofore ue scribed) to the government at Madrid. Ihe proposal, as made by Sickles to Mar shal Serrano, while not peremptorily declined, was not received in a manner to indicate that it will at present be accepted. Mr. Forbes, however, is ot the opinion that he will yet succeed in carrying out the wishes ot tho Grant and Cespedes administrations in the matter, provided that for the future Sickles keeps his defiling fingers out of the nego nation. For ourselves we have little faith. We fear it is to be the old story of a beneticeut politi cal arrangement frustrated by the mental in capacity und moral badness of those whose function it is to make it a reality. General Grant has been incapable to see the insult to Spain and tho wrong to the United States ot commissioning such n wretch as Sickles to exercise tho authority or to speak the voice of one government in the dominions of the other. And who dare say that the Senate will not be as kind as he ? We can only hope that President Grant will not also go to Mercer street for ambassa dresses to welcome the Empress Eugenie. WILSON ON PAR TON. From the . Y. World. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, eagerly rushes forward to indorse Mr. Partou's vindi cation of Congress from the charge of corrup tion. The Senator declares that iu his many years service at ashingtou ho has never known a member of Congress to be bribed or corrupted by money. W ithout dwelling on the obvious circumstance that exactly in pro portion to a Senator's own inaccessibility to such corruptions must be the care which his less scrupulous colleagues would take to keep him in ignorance of their misconduct, it occurs to us that Senator Wilson will do well to explain one little incident which has notoriously occurred during his 'term of service in Washington. A cer tain Mr. Ashley, a member of Congress from Ohio, a leading man in Senator Wilson's own party, and a close ally of his in the great aud holy work of impeaching the late President Johnson, was not only accused, but con victed, and that by his own letters, of cor ruptly offering to procure an office in Colo rado for a friend on condition of being thereby pecuniarily benefitted himself. This same Mr. Ashley, after this exposure of his infamy, was nominated by President Grant to the post of Governor of Montana. His nomination was passed upon and confirmed by the Senate in which Mr. Wilson sat, and Mr. Wilson voted for the confirmation thereof. These being simple historical facts, v.e submit that from them it seems but fair to infer: either that Senator Wilson's de finition of corrupt conduct in a legislator does not include the making of bargains with can didates for ollice whereby preliminary inllu ence is exchanged for subsequent profits in which case Senator Wilson's endorsement be comes void for his non-agreement with the average moral sense of mankind or else that Senator Wilson can act with public men for years together, meet them iu daily political and confidential intercourse, and give them his vole for positions of public trust without even knowing anything whatever of their doings and their character in which case his indorsement becomes void for incompetency as a witness. THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. From the X. Y. Herald. The situation iu Europe is very interesting at the present moment. France is full ol ii'itnl.lu ,.,,.1 U 1 . -. ,, 1 1 iiei-ijiucs inwru and more a question whether the third party or the Em peror is to come out of all the present com luouon niasieroi the situation. The Austrian Government has published its annual Red Rook, nnd Duron Reust has felt it necessary to make statements which show that there is a great deal more sympathy between Austria x iui.ee man mere is between Austria and lllssli- ?pain has been commanding tin attention of the natioiisfor tho last ten month oi moie, and while our opinions have varied as to the success or failum ,,f tlw. VHvnl ii ( i(ii u mat country, we have been induced lieve that it was reasoimbQ to hopo we the Spanish race. Germany, under its Prussian lead, has been commanding tl n mat country, we have been induced to he- rod for new tho at tention of the nations since the commence ment of the famous Schlesvi"-llolstein question, and particularly since the battle of S.idowa; but while we have hu.l good reason to believe that Germany was on the fair way to final victory and complete consolidation, specks have appeared on the Horizon wnicu compel us to admit that the German que'-diou is not yet beyond the regions of the doubtful, mid that the life of Count Rismark is beoiu in'' more valuable to Prussia and the general German cause as age and growing infirmities. induce him to seek retirement. Russia busies herself more and more with questions of inter nal reform, and manifests a genuine anxiety to develop the races which Providence has en trusted to her care. The emancipation of the M'ifs was a mighty step in the right direction. 1 he more recent abolition of the privilege of the clergy shows that the governing policy of Russia for the time being is clearly in favor of popular liberty and such develop ment as is compatible with the general inte rests of the empire. One of tho most in teresting items of our latest news comes from the northwest of Europe. Scandinavia shows signs of growing strength and purpose. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are inhabitod by a people that belong to a common stock. Sweden and Norway have for some gene rations been one, and to both union has been a benefit. Denmark has been painfully isolated, and of late Denmark has grievously suffered. This suf fering and loss tho Scandinavian races, one and all. see must continue unless they can come under some common bond of union. They have recently, ns our news columns have shown, had a grand meeting, at which such union was strenuously advocated, and the approaching marriage of the Crown Prince of Denmark with the daughter and only child of the reigning family iu Sweden pro mises to make this desired uniou a fact. If wo look at the situation iu Europe from another point of view from a point of view of more general interest tho situation is even more interesting. We know well that there are many influences which are sufficient to cause war, We know that war is avoided because of its uncertain consequences rather than because war is believed to bo intrinsi cally and essentially bad. There are out standing questions between France and Prussia of a very serious kind. Rut Napoleon has not been nble to persuade himself that war with Prussia would of a certainty redound to his advantage, and war with that power has in eonseq ;onee boon very wisely avoided. It is scarcely otherwise with Prussia, although Prussia has the advantage in having no special reason to court war. The recent speeches of Yon Reust, the Austro-Hungarian Chancellor, one of the ablest men of this ago, a man who is not to be named second to either Napoleon or Rismark, show that in the event of difficulty arising between Prussia and France, Austria would be much more likely to take the side of France than the side of Prussia,. Tho latest speech of on Reust, taken iu connection with the sentiments of tho Austrian Red Rook, is rather alarming than otherwise. It has caused, indeed, a profound sensation, particu larly in l'aris and Vienna. Tho French inter pretation of the language of the Premier is in effect that the Austrian statesman has informed Prussia in diplomatic terms that tho empire does not need the friendship ol con solidated Germany, having Franco in entente en i'l it ilc. We now know with some degree of cor tainty how Europe would arrango itself in the event of war. In spite of all the trouble which is now supposed to exist in the Last, we must still regard France and Prussia as the two powers most likely to come into contact. A war between them would necessarily divide Europe into two hostile camps. Austria would go with France if it came to pressure. Iu such a case Russia might deem it necessary to go with l'russia. Ihe Scandinavian kingdoms might remain neutral, but if necessity were laid upon them they would be much more likely to take the side of the Germans than that of the French. Italy would have no choice, but remain neutral, aud Spain and Portugal are so helpless that they cannot be taken iuto account. How the conflict would end we will not take it upon us now to say. Certainly wo do not think that the South could beat the North. After all, however, the war clouds are not very alarming. All the nations are too busy with questions of domestic reform to allow themselves easily to be dragged into war. Tho indications for the present are in favor of nationalities. The nations threaten to become less numerous and more powerful We are likely soon to have fewer governments and not so many crowned heads. Europe sees and admires the career and prosperity of her greatest on shoot, and the example of tho i nited States is revolutionizing the nations The revolution is general nnd goes on apace but war does not necessarily enter iuto the programme.
