REPUDIATION REPUDIATED A STIU-
U1NO DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE.
From the N. Y. World.
Tbe World, on behalf of llio Democratic
party, proffers ita thanks to Mr. Mmigon,
one of tho Democratic niemborn from Ohio,
for tho oarofnlly prepared spnech advocating
repudiation of the national dobt, which he
dulircrod on Thursday in the lloiiso of Re
presentatives). Xfe thank hiui, as inoRt of the
Democratic members who replied to him with
bo much force and spirit thanked him, for
saying that he expressed only his individual
viows, for which nobody olso could be held
responsible. But his diHclaimer of any autho
rity to represent the sentiments of the Demo
cratic party on this question is the smallest
of his claims to gratitude. We thank him,
especially, for giving an occasion, at this
early stage of the session, for the manly,
honest, emphatio remarks of so many
Domooratic Representatives from various
States, who brandod the views which he ut
tered as repugnant to their feelings, incon
sistent with the national honor, and shocking
to the best instincts of upright men. This
spontaneous outburst of indignant, honest
sentiment on the part of the most distin
guished and trusted Democratic members,
was needed to explode a calumny against the
Democratic party which has been industri
ously circulated by its enemies; and wo re
peat our thanks to Mr. Mungon for giving
these true and tried representatives an oppor
tunity to disclaim and denounce his repudia
tion crotchet in bo conspicuous a theatre.
As peculiar honor is due to the soldier who
first scalus the rampart and mounts the forti
fication of an enemy, so we must award to
Mr. Brooks, of this city, the credit of leading
off in the remarks by which the position of
Mr. Mungen was assailed. Mr. Brooks'
promptitude was not the consequence of su
perior zoal, but of better fortune; but the
trenchant emphasis of his remarks gave to the
discussion a tone of strength and freedom
which removed all restraint from the Demo
cratic members who followed him; and yet, if
it had happened to any of the others to be
first on his feet and get the attention of the
Speaker, the tenor of the discussion would
not have been different. Mr. Kerr, or Mr.
Cox, or General Sloouni, or Judge
Woodward, or Mr. Randall, or Mr.
Potter, would have led with equal vigor nnd
spirit in those conjoint and spontaneous de
clarations of the purposes of the nation, and
of the Democratic masses as a part of it, to
maintain the national faith inviolate and the
national honor unsullied. These speakers are
among those who have the most weight and
influence on the Democratic side of the
House, and their remarks will attract great
attention throughout the country.
The stamp of reprobation which has thus
been sot by the leading Democratic members
upon all schemes or propositions to repudiate
the public debt, will be of signal service in
confuting the slanders which have beon so
profusely heaped upon the Democratic party
in connection with this subject. Disclaimers
and refutations by the Democratic press reach
only Democratic readers; but an outline of
this discussion in Congress will go into all
the Republican newspnpors, and th whole
country will at length be enabled to see the
real position of the Democratic party on this
important question. The aspersions uttered
by Secretary Boutwell in his Philadelphia
speech are met by a contradiction which will
circulate as widely as the speech itself. It is
a contradiction authenticated by the character
and standing of eminent Democrats elected
by the party in districts whero the party is
strong, who understand the temper and faith
fully represent the views of their constituents,
and who supply the brains and leadership by
which the party is to be marshalled for vic
tory in the contests of the near future.
The World forbears to make this an occa
sion for some obvious reflections on its own
course which will naturally occur to its
readers and the general public. Whether any
particular organ of public opinion is vindi
cated or condemned by the progress of events,
is of comparatively little consequence, lint
it deoply concerns the public welfare that n
great political party, which will soon control
the government of the country, cherishes a
high sense of the sacredness of the national
obligations. A portion of the Democratic
Earty may have been confused for a moment
y plausible sophistries, and transiently mis
led bjr false lights; but the World has
never doubted that this fraction of
the party was honed in its instincts,
nor that its "sober second thought"
would cure it of temporary errors. The so
phistries to which we allude found more or
less favor among prominent meu of both
political parties; the late Thaddeus Stevens,
General Butlor, Senator Morton, and Sena
tor Sherman having either preceded Mr.
Pendleton in tho annunciation of his views,
or indorsed what he was. among tho first to
promulgate. The World never gave those
views any countenance, and it always felt
that it represented on this subject the real
feeling of the Democratic party, .and of the
wisest and most sagacious of its leader". We
Are pleased with what occurred in Congress
on Thursday, not merely because it vindicates
our course (which is a small matter), but be
cause it demonstrates that our confidence in
the Democratic party was woll-founded, and
shows that the honor of the country will be
safu in ita hands. We have heretofore had
more secret sympathy than bold, open sup
port; and not for our own sake, but for the
sake of the party, we are glad that its trusted
Representatives have had an opportunity to
speak out on this subject in ianguago that
cannot fail to command the attention of the
whole country.
CUBA BEFORE CONGRESS THE EX
TRAORDINARY POSITION OF THE
ADMINISTRATION.
Fran the If. Y. Herald.
Ta firftfr. Rinrr.ifiennt nminil. nf flin nnnnhir
voice through Congress on the subject of
Cuba was heard in the Senate on Wednesday.
On that occasion Mr. Carpenter, the able
Senator from Wisconsin, called up his reso
lution, of which notice had been given the
day before, declaring "that, in the opinion of
the Senate, the thirty gunboats contracted
for in the United States by or in behalf of the
Government of Spain, to be employed against
the revolted district of Cuba, should not bo
allowed to depart from tho United Stales
during the continuance of that rebellion." In
spite of the opposition of Mr. Sumner the
Senate agreed to take up the resolution, and
thus the discussion on the Cuban question
was commenced. This was the mode udopted
to bring the whole subject before the Sauate
and to prevent it being buried or squelched
in Mr. Sumner's Committee on Foreign
Affairs, though the mover of tho resolution
had no expectation, probably, of any Con
grcwional action iu time to preveut tho de
parture of the first division of tho Spanish I
gunboats from New York. I
Tho adnanistration has forestalled, so far-
the action of Congress. It seemed to be im,
patient to aid tho Spaniards and to mako war
upon tho poor Cubans, and therefore would
not wait a few days only to hoar what Con
gress would say. Protending to defer tho
whole quostion of Cuba to tho representatives
of the peoplo, the administration suddenly
released the gunboats before Congross had
time to act, and in this manner attempted to
influence Congress. Tho Government has
really become an ally of Spain against the
Cubans, and has made war upon that brave
people just as much as if it had sent United
States troops or ships-of-war to crush the
patriots. Tho shallow pretense oi neutrality
or enforcing tho laws will doceive no one;
for we all know that the administration,
which detained the gunboats up to a few days
ago, could have held them, if it wished, for
a week or two longer, till Congress could act
in the matter.
The American peoplo will be astounded at
this assumption and treachery of the adminis
tration when they have time to refleot upon
the matter. But when we spook of the ad
ministration in connection with this subject
we are disposed to except the President,
though he is the head of tho Government,
and in a measure responsible for the conduct
of the Secretary of Stale and other members
of the Cabinet. General Grant, we have no
doubt, is the friend of Cuba. He has ex
pressed that on several occasions, and
throughout his wholo public career, he has
shown the most ardent patriotism, love of
liberty, progressive American ideas, broad
national views, and tho warmest sympathy
for the oppressed. We saw this in tho case of
Mexico, when he was ready to march an
army to drive out the European intruders, to
liborato tho Mexicans from a foreign imperial
power, and to vindicate the Monroe doetrino
of America for tho Americans. Nor do we
believe his heart or character has changed.
But General Grant does not comprchond fully
foreign questions, and, trained in the school
of military discipline, he is disposed to leave
the business of the various departments of
Government to thoso who have charge of these
departments and who are supposed to under
stand what is best to be done. Hence, in the
case of Cuba, he has relied upon tho repre
sentations of the Secretary of State.
The Secretary, who is a weak, timid, and
incapable man for great affairs beyond the
mere routine of his oilioe, has been iufluencod,
probably, by Spanish agents, ami among
these by bis own son-in-law, who, it is re
ported, receives a fee, or bribe, or whatever
it may lie called, of forty thousand dollars a
year from Spain. Ho has been influenced,
too, no doubt, by Senator Sumner, the chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in
tho Senate, who is the enemy of Cuba, bo
cause, forsooth, ho imagines that any kind
ness shown to f ho Cubans or the recognition
of their belligerent rights might destroy tho
effect of his grand sophomorical speech on
the Alabama claims. There is the best rea
son to believe that the President has been
influenced indirectly and the Secretary of State
directly in this mnuiier; for both of them last
summer openly expressed their sympathy for
the Cubans, and the opinion that the time was
approaching when the United States must
recognize the belligerent rights or indepen
dence of Cuba. There can bo no other cause
for the change Hint lias come over them, be
cause it is well known, and tho Spanish Gov
ernment is obliged to confess tho fact in
directly, that the insurrection in Cuba is
stronger to-day than it has ever been. Gene
ral Prim acknowledged that forty thousand
troops, besides an immense fleet of war
vessels, had been sent to Cuba, and yet there
is tho most urgent demand for more. Is this
not a sufficient reply to the reiterated false
hoods that there is no war worthy of being
so called, and that the insurrection is losing
ground ?
Mr. Sumner stated in his remarks, in reply
to Senator Carpenter, on Wednesday, that he
understood the Cubans had not abolished
slavery, or that their decree to that effect
was only a pretext for foreign consumption,
Now, it is evident that this remark, like the
whole tenor, of what he said about the
Cubans, was malicious and contrary to what
he must know was the fact. He must know
that in tho constitution of tho Cuban repub
lic, article 24, adopted April 10, lh'O'.i, it is de
clared, "All the inhabitants of the republic of
Cuba are absolutely free;"' and he ought to
know that the mass of the Cuban peoplo have
been for a long time past desirous of freeing
the (slaves; that neither the Cuban Govern
ment nor people wish to see slavery exist, and
that it only exists now on the island where
the Spanish power extends. So, too, of Mr.
Sumner's other garbled and studied misrep
lsscntations to the effect that the Cubans
have no regular organized or established
government, and that they have not acquired
the statns of belligerents. If a state of war
does not exist in Cuba, there never was a war
in the world.
THE POLICY OF MAGNANIMITY.
fV'ju thf X '. Titiifs.
General Butler's letter in defense of the
policy of proscription is an exceedingly able
and adroit specimen of special pleading on a
subject in which auy special pleading, how
ever able and adroit, is altogether out of
place. That he is very caustic upon Mr1.
Greeley is quite certain: but when from his
speci.-J province of sarcasm ho passes to the
broader domain of (statesmanship, the
phrases he constantly lots fall of "rebellious
State," "present Rebel," "active, rampant
traitors in Southern Legislatures," an j the
like, show that he is playing tho part of the
attorney and advocate, aud not of the calm,
judicious, candid statesman and legislator.
It is aot only attorney-like but childish to
talk of not welcoming men to citizenship until
they havo "fully repented of tho part they
took in the Kcbelliou. Jt is a puerile, or, at
best, a schoolmaster's aud not a lawmaker's
spirit, which demands a pro form t confession
of having been "naughty boys." The best
inen of the South are not those who make
the most wordy and lachrymose pretenses of
Having nt'ieci against their consciences in tun
late Rebellion, but thoso who. seeing that
the stern arbitrament of arms has forever de
cided a contest maintained at such tremen
dous self-sucrilice on both sides during four
years, now Imartily support the administra
tion, and act on the principle that slavery and
BC-cassion are both dead, nnd that it would be
morally and legally a sin aud crime toattompt
to revive either. It is the men who-carry out
in good faith the Congressional plan of re
construction, and who by word and act con
demn tho old exploded theory of State sove
reignty, that are the true hope of the South,
and not thote who, possibly with sinister
ends, fill the air with their cries of "I'rccaoil"
We have said that the present is not a case
for special pleading, aud that it is in this
respect that General Butlor's view is
wrong. The quostion now is not what this
aud that "Southern loader" or "ex-Confederate
officer" is doing, but what the great
nation ought to do. it is a poor ami sorry
policy to qnairol over the fact.tuat the na
tional flag was or wan not hoisted over an
agricultural fair, when that flag is rospeotod
the country over. What we must do is to
decide upon our duty, as the people of the
United Htaton, and not to be meddling forever
with individual obstinacy, solf-conoeit, or
love of notoriety, which provokes one man
bore and another there to fail to walk up to
General Butler's line of demonstrative and
over-officious loyalty.
Peace now reigns throughout the longth
and breadth of the land. Only Georgia
threatens further trouble. What did General
Reynolds toll us in his report of Texas?
That there were "far fewer murders" now
than a year ago. It is porfectly true that
society is not as well established there as in
Maine or Maryland; but was it ever expoctod
that perfect placidity would follow after the
convulsion of war, and order spring at once
out of chaos? Take the case of Virginia.
By an artful accumulation of a twelvemonth's
affrays, a certain convention there lately
sought to represent to Congress that the
State was in a vortex of anarchy and blood.
But half the members withdrew at once, in
disgust at this adroit misrepresentation, and
protested in a counter appeal to Congross.
Congress demanded bonds, and the bond?
are signed, sealed, and delivered. These
bonds were reconstruction in opposition to
the claims of President Johnson, and in full
accordance with the requirements ot Congress
as the law-making power. To-day, all the
States Georgia alone excepted are recon
structed; for there can be no doubt that in
Mississippi and Texas, as in Virginia, tho full
requirements of the law will bo promptly sat
isfied. In the case of Georgia stringent legis
lation is necessary to undo wrongs com
mitted, and to provide guarantees for the
future. But even Georgia affords no pretext
for perpetuating the disabilities now borne
by individuals throughout the South. To ask
special pledges nnd repentancos from indi
viduals is to prolong distrust and ill-fooling,
and to compromise the dignity of Federal
authority.
All, therefore, that need be said of the
school of proscriptionists is that they fail to
act in a manner worthy of a great nation, and
cannot bo heeded. Whether their points aro
well or ill taken is of little consoquence; they
are employed with mint, anise, aud cummin,
and are neglecting the weightier matters of
tho law. The dignity of the United States,
the confidence it already feels in its own
people, and the confidence it socks to inspire
in foreign powers regarding its future, alike
demand the broad and generous policy of a
general amnesty. If thoro chance to be here
and there men whom it is well to except, lot
tnem do individually reserved, ly name, from
the operation of a wide-sweeping and mag
nanimous act. We have conquered once by
nrms; let us conquer again by magnanimity.
THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.
from the N. Y. Tribune.
Whether our national debt shall in cood
part bo paid by the generation which coh-
tracted it, or made a perpetual burden upon
the American people for all time to come, is
one of the gravest questions that ever chal
lenged public attention. We entreat that peo
ple to decide it for themselves, and not let it
be made the football of aspiring politicians.
it we now reduce the taxes so as to ston
paying the principal of our debt, we shall
never resume it. "Next day tho fatal pre
cedent will plead," and the debt will remain a
burden forever. The next war will largely
increase it; the next will swell it still farther,
and our posterity will bitterly rue tho short
sighted seltishness that compelled them to
sweat undor a load that should never have
been piled upon their shoulders.
Our country was less able to pay its Ke vo-
lutionary debt than it now is to pay its pre
sent obligations; yet it did pay it. The War
of J SI ? heavily burdened it again; but it paid
the last farthing within the next quarter of a
century, and had a surplus in the Treasury
to distribute to the States. In short, paying
war debts is a part of the American system,
as contradistinguished from the European
method of adding debt to debt, and charging
over the cost of each war upon future genera
tions. Had our fathers followed the European
method, nnd left their war debts as a legacy
to this generation, the late Rebellion would
probably have been successful. With the
three debts incurred in the Revolutionary,
second British, and Mexican wars resting
upon us, we could not have borrowed the
vast sums required to maintain the late strug
gle for the Union. Prudent capitalists would
have said, "How can the United States boar
up under this new load, seeing that, in the
long intervals of peace and prosperity, thoy
have not wiped out the old ones ?" It was
the fact that we had twice paid off our entire
debt that enabled us to contract a third so
immense.
We cannot forecast the future. Another
war may come upon us as suddenly, as inex
orably, as the last did. We are not ready to
breast its shock, and shall not be while our
present debt bangs over us. To be ready
for such emergencies as nny nation should
anticipate and provide against, we must
rapidly and steadily reduce our national debt.
Our Federal faxes are littlo moro than half
their amount four years ago. It will be possi
ble to reduce them further so soon as we shall
have funded tho bulk of our debt at a lower
rate of interest a puics rale, instead of the
war rate we are still paying. So soon as we
shall have saved ten, twenty, or thirty mil
lions per annum in interest, we may safely re
duce our taxes by a like amount. But, in
order to do this, the Treasury must be con
tinually buying up its outstanding obligations,
and thus making them scarcer and scarcer in
the market. Arrest this process, nnd the great
volume of our debt would press heavily upon
the market, dragging down tue price
of bonds and rendering it impossible that we
should fund thoso outstanding at a lower rate.
Were it morally certain that we should hence
forth pay one hundred millions per annum
until we had reduced the debt, to five hun
dred millions, an American consol, untaxable,
at four per eent., having thirty years to run,
could be sold at par. Were it settled that we
should pny.off no' more principal, we doubt
the feasibility of keeping the five-twenties at
par. Fortune favors the courageous, thrift
follows the thrifty, and capital presses its
loans upon those who aro steadily reducing
their debts. Lot ns never stop reducing ours,
at least while we are intent on funding our
five-twenties at 4 to 4 J- per cent.
