SHALL WE HAVE A WAR WITH SFAIN?
JTrom the K. T. World.
The preparation of writs of attachment, on
Wednesday, against the thirty new gunboats
building for the Spaniuh Uovernment and
now nearly completed, is a more regular pro
ceeding than their Hoizuro by the order of
the President lost August, as it will bring the
rights of their owner before a proper tribunal
for judicial decision. It is to be presumed
that those rights, whatever they may be, will
now be determined by law, and no longer be
the sport of executive caprice. Spain either
Las a right, under our laws, to procure these
boats to be constructed within our jurisdic
tion, or she has not. The strong personal
Sympathies of President Grant and the Cuban
insurgents ought not to have, and before an
upright judicial tribunal cannot have, the
slightest weight in the decision of this im
portant question.
Spain has just reason to complain that the
judicial proceedings which have at last been
initiated were not taken in August, imme
diately after the seizure of the boats. It may
be true that she will have suffered little prac
tical inconvenience by the delay, if they are
now promptly released, as the work of con
struction nas gone on without interruption,
and the Spanish Government probably would
not have sent them to Cuba one by one, but
in a fleet under the convoy of ships of war.
But if they are not released, the injury done
to Spain by the delay is groat and inexcusable.
When the Spanish Government entered into
the contract for building those gunboats,
it, of course, suppose that there was no legal
impediment; otherwise it would have procured
them to be built in England or some other
country. It certainly would not have inten
tionally done so senseless a thing as to waste
money in causing them to be built within a
jurisdiction where it did not feel soeure
against their being seized and forfeited for a
violation of the municipal law. If there was
a reasonable doubt of her right, it was the
plain duty of our Government to bring the
question before a competent tribunal for de
cision and save a friendly nation from a vio
lation of law and a misapplication of money.
The law was precisely the same in the begin
ning of August, when the gunboats were
seized, that it is at present; and the relations
of our Government to the Cuban insurgents
have undergone no change. All the reasons
for judicial proceeding which exist at present,
. equally existed then. If Spain had not a clear
right to complete tho boats and take them be
yond our jurisdiction, the question ought to
nave been determined as soon as it arose in a
form susoeptible of adjudication, in order that
a friendly power might have had an opportu
nity to desist from an unintentional violation
of our laws.
We suppose the truth to bo, that the ad
ministration knew it had no grounds of
seizure which a court would sustain, and that
for this reason alone it did not venture upon
a judicial proceeding. This is not only true
in fact, but it was virtually confessed by the
administration in the transparent subterfuge
to which it had recourse when it seized the
vessels under the pretense that they were to
be used in prosecuting hostilities against
Peru. There is not an intelligent man in the
United States who did not regard this pre
tense as a subterfuge, or who did not believe
that the reason for its adoption was the con
scious want of lawful authority to seize the
yesseLj if they were to be employed on the
coast of Cuba. The thumping up of this false
excuse for seizing the boats was a stroke of
ingenuity which carried on its face a clear
confession of the right of Spain to procure
vessels to be built in our harbors to aid in
Subduing a revolt of her own subjects,
whose belligerent status our Government had
Hot acknowledged. The right of Spain to
build the boats is clear and unquestionable
Until our Government Bhall recognize the in
surgents; and it is an advantage to our ship
builders that this employment is given to
them, instead of to their English rivals. As
Vessels can be constructed in Great Britain at
a smaller cost than in this country, it is pro
bable that Spain preferred to build them here
because they are not fitted for a long ocean
voyage, and could be more safely taken to
Cuba by running near our coast. This alone
would suffice to show (if anybody had any
doubt on that point) that they were never in
tended to double the "Cape of Storms" and
be used against Peru. Hut it is idle to ex
pose a pretext by which nobody was ever
deceived. All the world knows that General
Grant caused the Spanish gunboats to be
seized, last summer, in the interest of the
Cuban insurgents; and that the pretense of
hostility to Peru was a cloak to cover an
illegal proceeding, and a virtual confession of
ita illegality.
If we are to have a war with Spain in behalf
of the Cuban insurgents, let us not degrade
ourselves by sneaking into it under transpa
rent subterfuges. If our Government has de
termined that Cuba shall be independent, or
that it shall be annexed to this country, let it
make a manful avowal of its purposes and
proceed boldly to their execution. It does not
comport with the dignity of a great nation to
descend to tricks and chicanery, or to act
npon motives which it dares not avow. If
Spain has a legal right to take these gunboats
to Cuba, the administration should oppose no
obstacle to their departure. If we are willing
to risk a war with Spain in behalf of tho in
surgents, these boats will be but as dust in
the balance. Thev cannot nlHt,rrwf. nnv nnn.
quest of tho island, if our Government decides
that it 'Bhall be wrested from Spain. But
until the administration knows its own mind
on the subject, it :had better pay a decent re
spect to our own laws, and make no further
attempts to annul or circumvent thorn by
giving aid to the Cuban insurgents on self-
exposea raise pretenses.
We suppose no lawyer has any doubt that,
ender the law as it stands, those vessels will
be released as soon as the question is brought
before a court; but the fact that the hearing
is set down for tne 11th of December, a week
after the meeting of Congress, may indicate
an intention to take the sense of that body,
and perhaps procure a change in the law
before tne case is aajuaicatea. nut u (Jon
gress intervenes to thwart the release of the
boats, it is war :
THE JUDICIARY AMENDMENT.
From the A". I'. Timet.
The official announcement of the adoption
of the new Judiciary article of our btate Con
Btitution will be most welcome. It will be
specially gratifying to the largo and varied
business interests which have suffered from
lax administration of the law, and, indeed, to
all owners of associated wealth. The lawyers
Who still retain some pride in their profession,
and who have not ceased to think that prac
tice in the courts ought to be more honorable
than the business of the horse-jockey, and
that the management of litigation requires a
different kind of talent and training from
those nooessary for a faro bank or a ward
primary, will receive the intelligence with
unalloyed satisfaction.
The new article makes many changes in
our judicial system, and some of them pro
mising wholesome and enduring reforms in
the administration of justice in this Btate,
and especially in this city. The first of these
changes to be noted is that relating to the
organization of the Court of Appeals. This
Court will hereafter consist of a Chief Justice
and Bix Associates. They will be eleoted
next spring for fourteen years. Only the
Chief Justice and four Associates can be
voted for by any one elector, thus giving to
tho minority two members of the Court. All
cases pending in the Court of Appeals on the
1st of January, 18W, and which remain unde
termined on the organization of the new
Court, will be heard by a Commission, com
posed of the four present Judges of the Court
of Appeals, who have been elected or ap
pointed thereto, and a fifth Commissioner,
appointed by the Governor, by and with the
advice of the Senate, if that be in session, or
if it be not, to hold office only until the end
of the next session. Pour of tho five shall
constitute a quorum. It now takes about
five years to carry a suit through the court.
This commission will afford instant relief,
and will prove of the greatest benefit to
honest litigants, whose entire funds have
hithorto, in not a few instances, been locked
up in the court. Many of such coses would,
indeed, never have been taken there at all,
but for the certainty that the party really en
titled to tho funds or property in dispute may
be kept deprived of it for at least that period.
It is believed that the new court, as now con
stituted, will be able to dispose with prompt
ness of all business that may come before it,
and that no future accumulation or delay need
occur.
The new article also provides that, in 1873,
it &hall be submitted to the people of the
State whether our Judges shall hereafter con
tinue to be elected, or be appointed by
the Governor. But the creat and sweeping
reform wrought by the article relates to the
organization and practice of the Supreme
Court. Under the present Constitution, tne
Judges have been in the habit of reviewing
their own decisions. This practice was sub
ject to great abuse, and came to be regarded
as an unmitigated nuisance and wrong. Tho
Court is composed of thirty-three Judges;
each of tho eight judicial districts electing
four, and the first of these districts, consist
ing of the city and county of New York,
electing five. General Terms, held by not
less than three Judges, sit in the soveral dis
tricts to hear and determine appeals from
their own decisions, made at Circuit or
Special Term. It is true that each particular
decision is reviewed not only by the Judge
who originally made it, but by his two asso
ciates; but the best judges imperceptibly
fall into tho habit of sustaining each other
and being sustained in turn. This abuse has
been carried on to such an extent, in this
city, as virtually to abrogate the right of
appeal. All this, however, is swept away by
the new article, which declares the absolute
disability of a judge to sit in review of his
own decision, or that of any Court of which
he was a member. The present judges of the
Court will serve out the term for which they
were elected, ana tne luture term is to be
fourteen years. We are not surprised that
the judicial rings of this city did their utmost
to defeat the adoption of the new artiole, for
their continued existence depended upon that
ueteat.
Instead of eitdit General Terms, which we
now have, only so many are to be organized
as may be deemed necessary to dispose of the
appeal cases ironi Circuit and bpecial Terms,
Three of them will probably be ample, for the
reason tnat they will be connneu to this one
branch of judicial duty. The selection of
Judges who shall hold these terms is to be in
pursuance of a law which the next Legisla
ture is required to enact for the purpose,
and they will be designated from the
whole body of thirty-three. While,
therefore, we shall have a General
Term almost always Bitting in New York
or Brooklyn, it does not follow that the
judges holding it shall be selected exclusively
from these districts. This arrangement can
hardly fail to restore the reign of law in
the Supreme Court, and to break up the
judicial rings in this city, of which there has
been such bitter and frequent complaint,
When a suitor can have an immediate appeal
irom tho rash ana inconsiderate, not to say
corrupt, action of a single judge, to an inde
pendent and upright court, the unwarrantable
orders with which we have become so familiar
will cease to be useful to the parties in whose
interest they nave ordinarily been made.
AMERICAN ART AND "FOREIGN
TRASH."
from the. Y. JlerahL
The public will heartily endorse the action
of the crowded meeting which was held on
Tuesday evening at tho theatre of the Union
League Club on behalf of the establishment
of a metropolitan art museum in the park.
J. his meeting was presided over by Mr
Bryant, who alluded to the wonderful growth
of New York and contrasted its lack of groat
art museums with tho abundance of such in
stitutions in European cities not half so rich
and populous. Professor Comfort, of Prince
ton, made an address, in which ho showed
how much this country needs artists and what
superior artistic talent it can already boast of
possessessing. He also referred to the mu
seums of tho Old World, commenting on the
fact that most of them hud been originally
built for other than museum purposes, and
urging the importance of adopting all modern
improvements in constructing hero a mu
seum which should externally bo a great
work of art, although not necessarily
of American architecture, and the in
terior arrangement of which should
be made specially to subserve the
object of its erection, and nothing else.
His declaration that "Le know of only
one place in thia vicinity which was suitable
for a museum, and that place was the Park,"
was warmly and justly applauded. It should
be a museum worthy our city, and should
represent the history of art in all ages and
nations; "for art," he said, "is cosmopolitan,
belonging to no country in particular, and a
great artist is a great man and a citizen of the
world." Ho believed it possible to organize
such a museum, end knew that every great
work in the world could be reproduced so
accurately statues, in plaster of Paris; pic
tures, by skilful American painters specially
commissioned to copy them in European gal
leries; drawings and engravings, in photo
graphs, and medallions and coins, in casts as
to form a collection that would offer a school
for art students and render inestimable ser
vice in educating and cultivating the publio
taste. Addresses were made by Mr. Hunt,
the architect; Mr. Stebbiue, Mr. Cole, of the
Kensington Museum in London; Rev. Dr.
Thompson and Rev. Dr. Bellows in behalf of
the projected museum of art. Resolutions
were adopted as an expression of the favora
ble opinion of the meeting, and a committee
6f fifty gentlemen, representing the various
organizations and individuals directly in
terested in the object, was appointed to carry
out the enterprise by suoh means as they may
deem expediont.
It is t be hoped that ere Ions the efforts
of this committee, seconded by the liberality
of our citizens, may result in founding in the
park a museum of art "a repository of the
productions of artists of every class, which
shall be in some measure worthy of this great
metropolis and of the wide empire of which
Inew lork is the commercial centre, in this
connection we may add that such a museum
will afford, in addition to its other benefits,
opportunities for young artists to make them
selves known by the exhibition of their
works. About thirty young artists met the
other evening and organized a society callod
The xsew lork Artists Union, lor mutual
improvement and the suppression of the
trash annually sold in this city as works of
art." Anything like an attempt to revive the
crusade of a few short-sighted and envious
mediocrities and inferiorities, acadomical or
otherwise, to prohibit tho importation oi
such excellont works of foroign art as
tho most respectable of our art dealers sup
ply in accordance with tho elevated standard
of publio taste, will prove as ineffectual as it
is foolishly opposed to Bound principles of
political economy. The best way to "sup
press foreign trash" will be for our young
artists to thoroughly prepare themselves to
represent as landscapists the mcomparauio
beauty and sublimity ot our natural scenery,
or, as figure painters, those multitudinous va
rieties of American life which hithorto have
been almost completely undiscovered by so
many who having eyes see not. ii American

A GREAT RAILROAD SUIT SUSQUE
HANNA AGAINST ERIE.
From the N. Y. Sun.
Another big lawsuit has been begun
Joseph H. Ramsey, President of tho Albany
and Susquehanna Railroad Company, has
sued Jay Gould, James Fink, Jr., and Frede
rick A. Lane, with other directors ot the
Erie Railway, and tho Erie Company itself.
The litigation is in reality a continuation of
tho busquehanna and Ii.no quarrel which
Governor Hoffman illegally put an end to by
taking possession of the Susquehanna road
last summer.
Mr. Ramsey's complaint covers ninety-one
printed pages. The revenue is laid
in Delnwnro county. Mr. Justice
Murray, of tho Supremo Court, has issued
an injunction and granted an order against
the defendants. These papers, together with
the complaint, make up three of the most
remarkable documents ever known in the
legnl annals of this State or country.
lhe complaint states that Mr. Ramsey
owns certain stock of tho Erie Railway Com
pany, and sets out in full its character,
although the amount is not given; also that
ho owns a past due claim for money against
the company. It then recites, with careful
detail, the history of the Erie corporation
from 1S.'J2 to the present time. It alleges
that recently the management of the road
has fallen into the hands of the awful triad,
Fisk, Gould, and Lane; and substantially
that these men and their agonts have injured
and are continuing to injure the property of
tho Erie Railway Company, so as entirely to
destroy tho value of the plaintiff's stock and
interest therein.
The allegations contained in the complaint
are many of them very serious and important;
but these are mingled with nonsense in a
most remarkable manner. For instance, it is
absurd to allege among the grounds for ask
ing an injunction that Fisk has brought ob
loquy upon tho Jiine Kail way Company "by
acting in gaudy uniform the part ot a tempo
rary master of steamboats." And what shall
we think of the following in a sober legal
complaint i
"That It is injurious to the business of said corpo
ration to have Its oltlecs lu a building which in part
is almost nightly occupied for operatic aud dramatic
performances; that the frequenting of said building
and Its approaches by the large number of young
clerks In the employment of said company, and by
opera and theatre women at the same time, and the
musical and dancing rehearsals by day, with the
tread of ballet-girls and the echoes of operas aud
goners, and of all sorts of string and wind instru
ments resounding in said building, within hearing
and almost within Bight of numerous young clerks
ut their desks, in the employment of said company
in said opera house, are demoralizing to said young
men, destructive or too interests oi sam company,
aim wunoui a parauui in rauroau History.
Is not this silliness run rampant? Why are
not the dulcimer, saokbut, and psaltery men
tioned as among the instruments.''
The injunction in this case is of tho most
sweeping character, going so far as to forbid
the defendants from using any "persuasion
to prevent the Erio Railway Company from
employing persons other than the defendants
or their attorneys to defend the suit. The
order suspends from office as Directors of the
road Fisk, Gould, and Lane, and all others at
present engaged in its management. Philo
Ruggles is appointed referee to take proofs
on behalf of both parties, before the court
determines as to the final exercise of its
powers in reference to the suspension of the
defendants.
Of course, it is impossible at present to ex.
press any opinion as to the merits of this
extraordinary case; but certainly the plain
tiff's course would have more to commend it
to the publio if extraneous and irrelevant
allegations had been omitted in the com
plaint, and if his preliminary injunction and
order had not been quite so strongly drawn
