THE UNION 1 LE VUT'K CLUB AND MR.
STANTON.
From the N. V, Time.
The honors paid by the Union League
Club on Thursday evoniug to the great War
tJeoretary formed a becoming and well-merited
tribute to one to whom not only the "Union
League" but the Union its If owed so much.
The practical and generous form which the
feeling of the club took when it resolved, in
accordance with Mr. A. T. Stewart's report,
that it would support heartily the moYoment
for the Stanton fund, 'not only as an ex
pression of gratitude, but also as an example
which will encourage a fearluss, nnsolflsh,
honest and patriotic discharge of the pnblio
duty," was worthy of the association and of
the patriot whose memory they revere.
Stanton was a type, a representative man,
of that vast "League" of loyal men who, in
their devotion to the Union, resolved that,
come what would, "government of the pooplo,
. by the people, and lor the people, should not
perish from the earth." He gave to the Union
all that any man ever gave to it time, for
tune, energy, and life itself. Whatever
honors are due to thoso who periled all for
the country, are due to Stanten; whatever ro
jnembrance aud roturn should follow, after
life's struggle is over, to those whom the pa
triot holds dear, should come to the family of
Stanton.
It is, perhaps, a sad commentary on Ameri
can public life in general, that we instinc
tively honor with regards so distinguished an
officer whose highest vraise is that ne was
upright and disinterested in publio affairs;
that we speak of his career as a kind of
marvel. Is it so in all countries ? Is publio
life everywhere a career of plundering and
recklessness, and is it so strange a pneno.
menon that we must make wondering men'
tion of it, when a man controls billions in a
few Tears, and vet is se exact a steward that
he dies poor ? Whatever be the truth else
where, and whatever be the reflection it sug
gests, the careers of men like Stanton and
ltawlins f.re impressive and honorable. "In
the ace in which we live," said the Nestor
among poets, Mr. Iryant, "a mercenary,
venal, self-seeking ago, when publio men seek
to win popular favor by the lowest arts, and
enrich themselves bv the basest means, this
is a shining example." We are so accus
tomed to the jocular, hnlf-excusatory phrases
with which public dishonesty Is cloaked we
are so habituated to the spectacle of men
coins into places of honor and trust compura
tively poor, and coming frcin them loaded
with wealth that the fact of two successive
Secretaries in the War Office places most
auspicious for illicit bargaining and money
setting leaving their families dependent on
the public, after lives of econoiuy, strikes as
with a kind of amazement.
But it is a happy reflection that disinter
estedness in 'public service does not go unre
warded among the American people; in this
respect, at least, "Republics are not un
grateful." And what comparison is to be
made between that honorable income, made
up by the spontaneous gratitude of the fellow
countrymen cat one who has died in the na
tion's service, and the accumulated pilferings
fcnd plundering of the dishonest publio ser-
rant, wherewith he and his kin Haunt their
brazen dishonesty in publio places '(
. Such was the tenor of some of the speeches
on Thursday evoning. And tho eloquent tri
butes then made to btanton s self-sacnlice.
indifference to personal interest, nobility of
character, generosity, resolution, sagacity,
courage, energv, power of will, power of
work, and spotless, exalted t all-conquering
patriotism, were well deserved. we may
bolieve with Mr. Bryant that Secretary btan
ton "never thought of gaining anything for
himself by any office which he held neither
popular favor nor lame nor fortune, lie
thought only of serving his country." With
Dr. Bellows we may declare that the Union
League Club and the whole nation owo "re
verence and cratitudo for the great and glori
ous services, the true patriotism, the tempted
and tried' vet spotless publio character of
Edwin M. Stanton." With Br. Thompson.
we may describe his zeal as that which sought
to "drive out with a scourge the profaners
of the publio temple, and overturn the tables
of the money changers. With uenerai van
Buren, we may declare that Stanton "acccom-
pliuhed a greater work than fell to the lot of
I'itt or Cainot, or any other War Minister of
history.
Above and beyond all this, it is evident
that all honors paid to Stanton are incentives
to publio virtue. They are counter-agents to
the loose publio official morality of the time;
they instruct and inform all our youth that
there is something better in public life than
self-seeking and pelf, and that the sterner
and rarer virtues are still not without honor
and reward in our day and generation even
as in tho day and generation of the fathoms.
'TENNSYLYANIA DUTCH."
From Uie A". Y. Ibtfion.
It is an acknowledged fact that children of
German immigrants cease to speak German
properly if left to theaiselves, or to the mere
practice afforded in the intercourse with their
parents, and that the second generation.
under the same conditions,, almost wholly
loses, if not the knowledge, at least the
faculty of speaking the native tongue of their
grand parents. The language hardly forms
even a connecting link between the different
decades of immigration. In 181!) the Ger
mans of Philadelphia, then the mcst Gorman
' city of this country, were no longer able to
keep the records of their "society" in Ger
man, immigration having oil but ceased in
consequonoo of the great continental wars.
In New York, where immigration was smaller
still, the Germans were in 1711 1 already un
able to write uerman. A child born here
naturally receives impressions from its sur
roundings only. The air it breatheSj the lan
guage it hears, the commonwealth in which
. it grows up in short, all its relations to the
outside world, are American. What a child
hours about Germany from its parents, and
wnai it aiterwarda learns from books about it,
are acquirements, ideas, and conceptions, but
no living views, no immanent reality. Thus
America, to those born here, is the native
country, the home; Germany, naturally well-
nign as loreign as any otner European couutry .
The exceptions to tho rule that the grand
children of immigrated Germans never speak
German' are to bo found only in families of a
higher culture or iu some out-ot-tUe-way rural
aismcts. 'f he process of forgetting the mo-
- tner tongue and aoiinirluir the new is con
stantly going on, and will continue as long as
r immigration lantn. jt jg the same with the
descendants of uU other uliong who come here;
but it is luont conspicuous in the case of the
Germans on account of their larger niimbors.j
t' If immigration from Germany were to cease;
which it is far from doing at. present--we
should see but few German papors published
in this country, while tho Germans iu politi
cal or in social life would as little form a sepa- I
rate class as they now do in business. ,
The maionty of Uernian-born citizens,
buwever, have a vague notion that they can .

children taught the German language, and
hence their arxiety to get instruction in
German introduced into the public
schools. But, just as one may learn a foreign
language without denationalizing himself, so
he may adhere to the language of his fore
fathers without denationalizing nimseii. ine
Pennsylvania German native-born fanners
were, at the time ol tne native American
movement, tho most pronounced Know
Nothings, and many or them are still so, at
every "German" settling among them soon
finds out; and yet they not only speak a
German dialect, mixed with words German
ized from the English, but this, their ordinary
language, is also spoken by tnoir lenow-ciu-zens
and neighbors of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon,
and African descent. Indeed, the writer
of tkese lines Las seldom been more
surprised and at the same time moved
to neaity laughter than at being addressed
by a venerable negro in a Pennsylvania vil
lage in the most approved Pennsylvania-German
dialect, and with all the nuances with
which that dialect is spoken by immigrants
from the Palatinate or their descendants in
Pennsylvania, this very day, to the sixth
generation. The idea of an African acquiring,
not the German language, but a dialect of it,
and that thoroughly connecting, by tne as
sociation of ideas, African barbarism with the
particularism of a small German territory
seemed at hrst highly ludicrous, it was con
trary to all experience in regard to the
capacity of that race to acquire foreign
idioms, while it proved, besides, the tenacity
with which the dialect has taken root in that
section, and thus outlived the language itself
the "Hochdeutseh or High German origi
nally spoken by German immigrants and lost
bv the second generation.
The importance ot dialects nas at times
been undervalued by scholars; but it is now
perceived that they are the roots out of which
, 1- 1 L
a language grows, ana irom wmcu it con
stantly draws new nourishment. From them
only arises the language of letters, or, as Max
Muller expresses it, tne "iioonspracne.
Jacob Grimm, in his history of language
compares them to a comfortable mormng-
cown. in which you feel at ease, but in which
you do not venture to go out. In them the
greatest wealth ot a language lies niddon, ana
it may be conceded that for the German they
have been of more importance than for other
languages on account of tho greater number
of tribes composing the nationality. Gram
mars of Low-German as well as High-Gorman
dialects have of late been published in tier
manv, and the success which works writ
ten in dialects have met with there
shows a strong scientific and popu
lar movement in their favor. Nor
can we wonder that it be so. Fritz Keuter,
the Low-German poot, owes his success not
less to the poetical merit and unsurpassed
humor of his works than to the happy idea ot
writing them in a dialect. At hrst it might
seem as if readers not yet acquainted with it
might be repulsed rather than attracted, most
of them being obligod to take pains to read
it; bnt Germans are apt to overlook that dim
culty for the enjoyment they find in being
reminded of "home." As to the vitality of
dialects, it may be mentioned that in the pro
vinces of Alsace and Lorruine, wrested from
Germnny by France centuries ago, the Alsa
tian-German dialect is still tho language of
the peasants, and that only recently have the
inhabitants of the latter province petitioned
the Emperor to have the German language
introduced into the pt' V.? schools.
AN ATOM OF CUBAN SENSE.
From the X. Y. World.
"The next thing done was to purchase a small
cnooner, and place on board a small cargo of anas.
A lame vessel and cargo were not risked, for the
Junta believed that, though Secretary Fish said they
coiuu snip mem, sua collector unnueu sum ne
would clear the vessel, the United States Marshal
would nut permit her departure.
"Marshal liariow was invited to go on noara ine
schooner. The Marshal examined the ship's papers,
found them 'all right,' and saw ne had no obstacle
to niace In the way. At 4 P. M. the schooner, the
Maria, Captain lingaru, sailed for Cuba with 1200
muskets, ana a uuo proportion oi cartriuge auu
other munitions.
'The Government was duly informed of what was
going on last evening. The State Department tele
graphed that If all was regular as represented, no
hindrance conld be placed Tu the way.
"This is all the Cuban ask. The; need no more."
X.Y.Hun.
We publish the above statement,' not be
cause we have reason to believe it truthful,
but because it displays the folly which has
thus far marked the conduct of the Cubans.
The organ of the Junta in this city now de
clares that the permission of this Govern
ment to purchase in and ship from its ports
arms and munitions of war, as a commercial
transaction, "is all the Cubans ask." This
permission they ha7 always had, but the fact
seems never to have dawned upon the fatuous
managers of the canse of Cespodos till now.
Traffic and commerce in warlike materials
are not forbidden to its citizonp by a neutral
government during a foreign war, for war iw
the only promoter of such traffic and com
merce. No more are venders of arms
and powder in tho United States
bound to inquire of a customer from
Cuba, seeking such contraband of war, what
relation tho latter boars to tho legal
authority of the island Outsiders can not
only sell such urticles to insurrectionists in
another country, but cau transport the same
on the high seas, subject only to tho bellige
rent right of capture. Thiswith a brief ex
ception in lHijii, has been the law of this
country, from the famous declaration of the
first Secretary of State, Mr. Jefferson, in 17!3,
to Mr. Ternant, tho French Minister, that
"our citizens havo always been free to make,
vend, and export arms," down to the declara
tion of the last Secretary of State, Mr. Fish,
early in the summer of 1 !'.), to members of
the Cuban Junta, that they could buy in
this country as much munition of war as they
pleased, and that the Government itself would
sell to them. This rule of neutral right and
duty was distinctly announced by this Gov
ernnrent during the Crimoan war, by tho an
nual message of tho l'resident to the Con
gress of 1855.
The only exception to this rule was . made
by this Goveruient fduring the "Fatriot War"
in Canada, in 18:18 (See Vol. V., Statutes at
Large, p. 212) when our customs officers
were required to seize an arms or munitions
of war about to pass the frontier.for any place
within any foreign State or colony "conter
minous with the I nite l States. isut this
. law cf 1K1S8 was limited to a life of two years,
and was cureful to provide that nothing in it
should "extoud to or Interfere with any trade
in arms or munitions of war, conducted in
vessels by sea, vita any loreign port or
place -whatsoever, or with any other trade
, which might have been lawfully carried on,
before the pasuaga of this act, uuder the Uw
of nations and the provisions of the act hereby
; emended
. Nobody now disputes that trade in contra-i
tnil, within the territory of the latter, is law
ful both by municipal and international law
Our merchants may soil, and the Cuban Junta
can buy, to the content of thoir hearts and
the extent of their purses.
If the Junta had looked among the decisions
of tho Supreme Court of the United State,
they wonld have soon the declaration of that
tribunal, that "there is nothing in our laws
or iu the law of nations that forbids our citi
zens from Bending armed vessels, as well as
munitions of war, to foreign ports for sale.
It is a commercial adventure which no nation
is bound to prohibit, and which only exposes
the persons engaged in it to the penalty of
confiscation."
But, while such commercial transactions
are permitted, our municipal law as poremp
torily forbids any person to provide or pro
pare the means for "any military expedition
or enterprise" to be carried on from our terri
tory against a foreign power with which we
are at peace. The exportation of arms, ac
companied by men enlisted here, eitner to De
used in the foreign country or to protect the
arms from capture in foreign waters, is de
nounced both by the statute of this country
and that of England. The Catharine Whiting
was libelled by the District' Attorney, as that
officer informed the publio at the time, not
"solely on the ground that she was about to
carry arms to the Cuban insurgents" as cargo,
but because she was furnished and fitted eut
as part of "a military expedition" consisting
of aims and enlisted men.
OPENING BEADING BOOMS ON SUNDAY
From the If. Y. Sun.
The Young Men's Christian Association is a
benevolent institution, having for its object
the providing of rational and harmless amuse
ment lor tne young men oi tne city, uuumg
them proper boarding houses and employ
ment, and in other ways looking after their
moral and social welfare. It has just been
enabled, by the liberality of its patrons, to
complete a commodious ana magninoent
club house on tho corner of Fourth avenue
and Twenty-third street, containing a lecture
room, where very nice concerts are given
every week at a low price, and a reading
room well supplied with the periodical litera
ture of the day. The obvious use oi tne
building and appurtenances is to afford a
comfortable and attractive place of resort for
voung men, which will m some measure
oounteract the temptations of barrooms and
tleatres, and the still more objectionable
places with which the city abounds.
The Mercantile Library Association is an
other institution of the same benevolent char
acter as the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion. It. however, confines itself more
strictly to furnishing young men with intel
lectual entertainment. It has nn ample
library and a well-supplied reading-room, and
every winter classes are foru.ed for the in
struction of its members at moderate charges
in the languages and practical sciences. To
aid it in its work a corporation called the
Clinton Hall Association, composed of a num
ber of our leading merchants and philanthro
pists, purchased some years ago the building
in Astor place, no r knoirn as Clinton Hall,
and gave the Library Association a lease of it
at a low rent. This Association is still in the
occupation of the building, and naturally
cherishes feelings of gratitude and respect
towards the corporation that owns it.
The reading-rooms of both these institu
tions tho Young Men's Christian Association
and the Mercantile Library Association are
closed on Sunday. On that day the thousands
of young men who, during the rest of the
week, are hospitably admitted to the rooms,
are bolted and barred out, and driven to Beek
refuge vlterever else they may find it. A
movement is on foot to change this practice,
and open these reading-rooms on Sundays,
and we sincerely hope it may sucoeod.
In the case of tho loungMens Christian
Association, we presume nothing more than
a vote of a majority of its members is neces
sary to secure the needed reform; and that
this will soon be given, there is no reason to
doubt. In that of the Mercantile Library
Association, the members have already voted
overwhelmingly in favor of the measure, but
their officers desire, out of courtesy to the
Clinton Hall Association, to which they ore so
much indebted, to secure also the consent of
that I odv- The mattor was laid before the
Clinton Hall Trustees last spring, bnt thus
far they have taken no definite action upon
it. It has been referred by them to a Special
Committee, and that committee has not yet
reported.
The ' chief objection made by those who
oppose opening these rooms on Sunday is
probably the supposition on their part that in
some way it will conflict with the proper
observance of the day required by the
fourth commandment. It is thought that the
practice would involve servile labor on the
part of the persons in charge, which ought
not to be exacted of them on the Sabbath.
Besides this, there may also be a lurking fear
lett the attractions of books and newspapers
may prove superior to those of the pulpit,
and that yonng men may prefer going to the
reading-room to going to church.
Of course no argument will be of avail with
persons so bigoted as to take this narrow
view of Christian duty. Men who can draw
a distinction between the labors of a sexton
and those of a reading-room keeper, or
ho can see a worse crime in reading a
magazine or a newspaner in publio than in
doing the same thing in private, or who
suppose that young men will go to church
from any other reason than beoause they
like to, are not worth arguing with. The
young men who want to have the two read
ing-rooms we have mentioned opened on
Sunday are in the majojity, and they will
persevere in the effort until they succeed. If
their elders will not consent, they must be
overruled, and if the officers whom they
have heretofore elected will not comply with
their wishes, others must be elected who will
It is about time that antiquated prejudice
gave way to enlightened sense.
THE YEAlt'S WORK.
from the X. Y. Tribune.
The year has witnessed the completion
01 some of the greatest worKs oi the century,
and carried the world forward with grander
strides in the pathway of material progress
than any other single year in the recollection
of the present generation. It has rarely been
given to any one man to witness- the realiza
tion of t wo schemes so important to the pros
perity of all civilized nations as the opening
of a canal through the desert and a railway
across a whole continent; but that these great
events should have been crowded into one
hhort year iu indeed a remarkable and signifi
cant circumstance. The French engineer,
with a rare fombiiiation of enthusiasm and:
!iutience, has succeeded in carrying out a pro
ect as old as the afjes of the l'haraohs. In
this fust land of ours a project that is worth1
arivtliii'fl i never vuiTored to grow old: and
men had scarcely begun to, talk about cross
Jng the vninbnbitei-1 plains -and mountains;
wiih three thousand miles of iron rail befort
the pkk and thMshuvel.nomuiouoedcleariiig tht
way, and years lit fore the most sanguine dream -J
ed of st-tiug the end. the work was ftnlshodi
Thus by two wonderful achievements of ongi
neciiin the distant Kant is at tho same mo-
ihent brought next door to America and next !
door to Europo; the old curronts of trade are
changed; and with tho change commerce
prospers and life is folt in desert and deoayed
countries.
These are the chief labors which have been
crowned during tho year 1H(!!). Others hardly
less important have boon planned out or be
gun, as a ranee cut through the sands or
Suez, so America is preparing to, cut through
the forests and mountains of Darien, aud
open a new ocean route which will be easier,
safer, and more practically useful than the
dangerous path from the Mediterranean to
the Arabian sea. The year 1870 will doubtless
witness the beginning of this work, and a
date by no moans distant may be set for the
celebration of its close. By that time perhaps
all our Western wildernesses will be crossed
by the locomotive and dotted with settle
ments; and great American steamship lines
will be ready to take their freight at the At
lantic and Pacific ports, and pass through the
new channel which will bo opened between
the two oceans.
If few great political changes have marked
the year, the principles of political justioe
nave made cneering progress in nearly all the
great countries of the world, while no coun
tries can be said to have gone backward. In
Great Britain and France especially the rights
of the people have been more fully recog
nized, and the despotism of centralized power
and privileged castes has been rudely shaken.
At home we have made some stops towards
the realization of the American ideal of equal
rights for oil, and have been choored by a
steady improvement in the faithful adminis
tration of our laws and the regulation of our
finances. We have presented to the world a
noble spectacle of a people rising with un
broken energies from a devastating war, and
by hard work, economy, Intelligence, and the
honest rule of a good President, repairing
with unparalleled rapidity the ravages of four
years ot connict. we, at all events, have
abundant reason to look back upon 180!) with
gratitude and satisfaction. May the reoord
ot the ycor now begun prove equally bright I
NATIONAL HOODWINKING.
From the If. Y. Tribune.
untortunate is the Amenoan newspaper
wim n merits tne fatal praise of the .London
limes. On the other hand, that organ of
what a distinguished Englishman has well
named British Philistinism has reason to re
joice and be exceeding glad whenever it finds
an American to its mind. Such a coinci
dence is opt to be that of the spider and the
fly. We take nothing from the proper credit
of a newspaper which is formidable on its
own side of the water. It is the representa
tive or the worldly wisdom and the worldly
folly of a great metropolis and empire; it is
the most compact establishment known in
current literature of that high order of intel
lectual vice whose business it is to work into
daily history the cowardice of the hour. Mr.
Bright and Mr. Cobden have described it with
equal felicity. Too calculating a student of
expediency to delude itself with the notion
that it' possesses a conscience, its science is
to tell how the wind blows, if such a news
paper is stupid, it is most elaborately so; if it
is wrong, the chances are that it is altogether
wrong root, stem, and branch.
Accordingly, at this moment, the Timts
cherishes the absurd expediency of mistaking
tne temper ot tno American Government and
people, lliut temper is neither trivial nor
menial, and is most ably, amicably, earnestly
set forth in the letter of Secretary Fish. By
this letter the Times is advised that the United
States, while sincerely desiring to approach
the negotiation of the settlement of their
claims with an effort to set this vexed ques
tion at rest, tuny realize the nature and ex
tent of those claims, and await a proposition
to open their negotiation rather than beg for
one. There is probably nothing so well as
sured in the American mind as, first, that we
have proper cause of complaint; and 2d, that
we can afford to wait. Our grievances, like their
guarantees, have only to grow, not with
any help of ours, but merely through English
neglect.
We repeat these truths with emphasis in
order that the nrm taith of the people in
their diplomatic cause shall not be misrepre
sented or misunderstood. Especially and
indignantly do we repudiate the nnworthy
and un-American plea made by one of our
journals to the English Government for the
reopening of negotiations at Washington.
Our people, remarks this authority, "would
have no cause for suspecting that their agent
had been hoodwinked if the arrangements
were discussed and settled at their own doors.
Though it is common for all peoples, French
as well as English, and English as well as
American, to suspect that their agents
may be overreached, we believe that no
nation has ever erected its suspioion
into a positive plea for being indulged
by some other nation anxious to outwit it.
The petition to have our people humored be
cause their representatives are not wise, or
those whom they represent are foolishly sus
ceptible, would sound better in London than
here, bnt would in neither place be sensible.
When England concedes to us it will be with
an indubitable recognition of equality in every
point of view, and for her own advantage as
well as ours. It will be with av wholesome
sense of what is due to a nation which has
fought and conquered those causes which pro
duced the Alabama claims, and whose cause
is too sufelv invested to be put in jeopardy
by a quarrel.
