DISCORD IN CONCORD. rrm tA If. Y. WorUU The serene and Hcholarly atmosphere of Concord, New Hampshire, has recently been agitated by a concourse of strong-minded women and feeble-minded divines, who as sembled there in order to make Rome speeches about woman's righta. The novelty of the subject which they came together to discuss impel us to rescue the proceedings from the buvion which would otherwise await them. A good deal of darkness was cast upon the subject at large by the speakers, and the pro ceedings were much too harmonious for those of a meeting summoned in the interest of re form. An element of tempest and moral ro calcitration should perrade the gathering together of the apostles of change, But Miss Anthony, who usually supplies that disturbing magnetism, was not present; and the absence of her waterfall, towering dark and huge above the platform, was lamented as much as the abnence of the helm of Ajax would have been in an assemblage of the Homeric war riors. There were present, however, female divine", phytsiciuns, and reporters visible and valuable exemplars of tho capacity of woman to accomplish other work than that of the household or the Bchool-rootn. What sort of gospel the lady divinos "dispensed with," what sort of physio the hippooratio females prescribed, or what sort of nonpa reil the petticoated reporters reported, we know not; but there is nothing unreasonable in assuming them to have boen, as theology, physic, and literature go, good average speci mens of their kind, and such as to fully entitle their respective professors to the honors and immunities which appertain to those vocations. There was a good deal of murky verbiage, and the tadiousness of some of the speakers was evidently the fruit of good health and long practice. Bat the fact was manifost that the reformers were very much in earnest. They have a tolerably clear purpose, and they are evidently going to toil towards it till they achieve it. They are not always coherent or precise in setting forth their creed or the reforms which they propose to effect, liut they make up for that lack by an amount of enthusiasm and talking power which would be incredible if it were not so continually evinced. Incessant drop ping weareth away a stone; so incessant meet ings and speechifyings and resolutions will doubtless in time procure for them the privi lege of the ballot. The supplicant at the i'udgment seat who bored the judge so that le decided in her favor, irrespective of the law or the equity of the case, was a female of prodigious sapience, and her "agitating" sisterhood have well learned the lesson which her experience inculcates. They have dis covered the potency of prolixity; and this is tho terrible weapon with which they fight their crusade. And the crusade really waxes formidable. The blare of its bugles and the glitter of its standards have summoned to its ranks war riors of other sort than those which followed its initial forays. It numbers among its ad vocates statesmen, philosophers, and, ucnolars; men of robust texture of mind, not given to irregular enthusiasms, but the intellectual pioneers who stand in the fore-front of pro gress. It looks as if daylight would really dawn upon the the oppressed female one of these days, and illumine her road to all sorts of civic and other distinctions; and we never read the proceedings of an oittcial assem blage of the strong-minded without being impressed with the conviction that she ought diligently to sot about preparing for enfran chisement. Notwithstanding the enormous number of women's right meetings hold throughout the country during the last ten years, there is said to be no woman in Ame rica competent to preside over a con vention or meeting with due ob servance of parliamentary rules. Notwithstanding the immense number of speeches made by women during the same period, the number of those who are capable of rendering a reason is portentously limited. They can talk, but they cannot argue; they can agitate, but they cannot reason. All their sound thinking is done for them by their enemies, the men. All the arguments calculated to make an impression upon a dis ciplined understanding have been formulated and put in effective shape by men. They have championed their own cause for the most part with a kind of petulant vehemence which re jected all logical laws and limitations, and it is really time that they set about acquiring some of the rudiments of that knowledge which they will find so useful and necessary in the new and responsible career which awaits them. Mrs. Howe by far the ablest and most learned of the strong-minded Bisters, a lady of much Latin and more Greek, to whom Terence is not too heavy nor Plautus too light, to whom Justin Maityr and Tertulhan and Ilypatiaare as familiar as Dr. Charming and Schleirmachcr, or Theodore Parker and Gervinus showed herself not superior to the besetting sin of her sex. She lost the scent, like a badly trained pointer, and ran wild after hedgehogs when she should steadfastly have kept the trail of the deer. The time and place rendered it appropriate for her to talk about the rights and wrongs of women, and either rehearse the old or ad vance new arguments in favor of admitting them to political equality with men. 15ut she fled -wildly from the theme, and, like swift Camilla scouring the plain, did not fold her pinions till she got to Cuba, and over that sultry and unhappy isle she poured her melan choly wail. It is not possible for a lady of her talents and learning to be other than in teresting, whether she sticks to tho subject in hand or abandons it; but her intellectual discipline mutt moke her aware that the de parture of the Spanish gunboats had nothing to do with the subject which they. had come together to discuss. fcihe might as well have interposed a disserta tion on the Greek particle, or the Demiurgus of the Gnostics. Her phrase, that tho ghost of Captain Kidd must have laughed and the timbers of the Mayflower gioaned at that naval exodus, might answer very well in a legal document, whore cold precision and exactitude of statement aro roquired; but it had no bearing upon the subject which she undertook to unfold ami illuminate. If the wisest and ablotst chmupion among the female crusaders evinces this incurable mental fu gacity, this aptitude for flying off the handle, it may be that all effort to impart to the en chanting but illogical sex clear, simple, and coherent methods of thought will be labor thrown awuy; but we hope not. Let the elders assign to the most promising of the younger sisters severe and determined courses of Aiutotle and Whateley. Let them learn their croquet and their crochet, their ''Guy Livingstone" and their Owen Meredith, and take a plunge into Locke or Cudworth. It isn't a lively busi ness. Tough masculine faculties sometimes ulttj on ilo) brisk . uf the ftbvbn, and, eyen after tkey have taken tho leap, flounder about among pontnlntos and conclusions, like camels in a quagmire or Christian in the Slough of Dt-Mpoiiri. Unt tho Delectable mountains lie beyond, and . if any of the strong-minded maidens choose to strive for these commanding altitudes (it is too late for the matrons to think of such a jonrnnp), we shall greet their attainment of them with sincere pride and exultation. We earnestly hope that the strong-minded female of the future, through assiduous discipline and labor, will be able to preside over a meeting with the ability of a Colfax ind state a case with tho clearness of a nisi prtux lawyer. ABUSE OF EDWIN M. STANTON! From the Tohdo Blmle. The Cincinnati Enquirer, with true Cop perhead malignity, continues to pour abuse on the name of Kdwin M. Stanton. In a recent Issue it cives an "Aneodoto" of the de pal ted War Socretary, which is little hotter than a baseless fabrication, what little truth there is in it being so artfully interwoven with falsehood that the whole may be fitly characterized as a wanton calumny. The Enquirer starts out by saying: "The press Is teemltiff with anecdote of the late Mr. Stanton. We have one to narrate, which Illus trates tho cold severity and cruelty of his character. A roan by the name or JJavts llvlnj? In Maryland, Who had never been In the Southern array, or In any way In their service, hut who resided In their line had occasion to visit the North during the war. lie foolishly and Innocently consented to bo tho bearer of a number of private letters from parties In the Confederacy to others In the North. He was arrested as a spy, and, with theso letters upon him, brought before a military commission, which, upon the technicality of the case, convicted him and sen tenced him to death by hanging. Uo was a gentle man of character and position, and was related to some of the best families of Maryland, who made great efforts to prevent the execution of his cruel Bentcnec." The "man by the name of Davis" was a lieutenant in th . Confederate ser vice; was related to some of the most bitter and malignant Rebel families at the South; was the adjutant of General Winder, the officer in charge of the war prisons of the Confederates. In this capacity Davis for a time superintended the Andersonville prison, and, if we remember rightly, one other pri son, perhapB Salisbury, and was dreaded and hated by our soldiers who were there starved, tortured, and sometimes shot down like dogs for no provocation whatever. Davis was a ooadjutor -and coworker with the in famous Wirz, M ho expiated his crimes upon the scaffold. This Davis, then, turns out to be something else than a quiet "citizen of Maryland, who had never been in the South ern army, or in any way in their service." We speak from a personal knowledge of Davis when we say that the Confederate service contained no more zealous, resolute, and serviceable Rebel against our flag than he was. In his management of the Kebol pri sons he was considered cruel aud despotic, especially to private soldiers. To officers ho seems to have shown some courtesy and favor, as in the time of his peril some of them felt qalled on to use influence iu his favor. So far from Davis being an "innocent" civilian, "foolishly and innocently consent ing" to carry a "number of private letters" to parties in the North, he was in fact the bearer of motit important despatches to and fro be tween Jeff. Davis at Richmond, and the Rebel fang who cjeyated in Canada, lot tho Confederacy. The Rebel pirates Burleigh and Beall were under arrest for piracy on Lake Erie. To save Burleigh, who was de manded by our Government of tho Canadian authorities, Jeff. Davis forwarded a naval commission by tho hand of this young Davis, lie had accomplished his mission successfully, and was on his way back to Richmond, with his coat ' wadded with despatches for Joff. Davis, when on the San dusky, Mansfield, and Newark Railroad, near Lexington, Ohio, he was recognized by a young soldier by the name of Beverstock. Davis had dyed his hair, changed the style of his beard, and otherwise disguised himself, but Beverstock and a comrade who happened to be in the car, had marked the features of their old tormentor too well to be deceived by any disguise he could assume. He was arrested at Newark and put in jail. Hero, before he could be searched, he tore his despatches from his coat, and threw them into the stove of the jail at Newark. He Was tried by a commission at Cincinnati, and sent by General Hooker to Goueral Charles W. Hill, in command at Johnson's Island, with orders for his execution on a certain day. But if Mr. Stanton did favor the hanging of this man Davis, aud oppose Mr. Lincoln's unreasoning sympathy and clemency towards dangerous and mischief-working spies of tho Confederacy, we say boldly Stanton was right and Lincoln wrong, Davis deserved the gallows as richly as ever spy, or traitor, or cruel despot over unarmed prisoners de served it. Mr. Lincoln, pure as his motives were, by his tenderness towards such men as Davis laid many brave, loyal men in un timely graves, who but for such mistaken clemency might to-day be alive and ' well. Mr. Lincoln's humanity nerved the arms of the diabolical, plotting crew of conspirators whose last revengeful act Bent the assassin's bullet into his own brain. Mr. Stanton took a sterner and yet more rational and merciful view of his duty in such cases. He was' a man of just as true and as tender humanity as Mr. Lincoln, but he did not allow his sym pathy to override his knowledge and judg ment. He valued tho lives of loyal men vastly more than those of traitors. He believed that such resolute, energctio pies and despatch-bearers as Davis was were each worth more thau fivo hundred common soldiers to tho Confederacy. Tha death of Davis, at the right time, would doubtless have saved hundreds of lives, cash of whom had far higher claims on Mr. Lin coln's humanity than ten thousand such traitors as Davis could have. We cannot be misled into an tin just estimate of Edwin M. Stanton's justice or benevolence, by Copper head contrasts of it with Mr. Lincoln's weak and mistaken compassion. In war, especially, mercy to the guilty works death to the inno cent. In the long run Mr. Stanton's stern justice had mora of real mercy in it, than ha 1 Mr. Lincoln's clemency and forbearance to Eunish. And at no moment of his life do we elieve the heart of Mr. Stanton to have been any more undor tho influence of malice or re venge than that of Mr. Lincoln, who cer tainly was never justly chargeable with either. Mr. Stanton was wiser than Lincoln, in that he never believed in the ruinous policy of attempting to tarry war on on peace princi ples. Rigor and vigor is the true motto for a notion fighting with traitors for its own existence and liberty. We honor Edwin ?J, Stanton for his manly adherence to that priu ciple. THE COMING OF ritlNCE ARTHUR. From th K. Y. Bun. One of Wales' younger brothers is expeoted uv wasmngion on a visit 10 uenerai uraut, and the snobs and tho Dents are already be einninrr to lav themselves out for the re- ccption of this new victim of the universal 1 Jenkins, it is wnispereu at tne same time tn fopy circles that the mere sight of a live 1'ijnce will be equivalent to the settlement of the Alabama claims, and that immediately after his arrival several dignitaries will bow dowa. before the jnvenile Highness, and make ample apologies for their rash speeches and despatches. At tho time the Trince of Wales landed in the dork on the shores of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, it was rumored that be was sent hither in token of eternal Ryiilpatby and interna tional love. But, lo 1 when soon afterward the Union was rent by slavery and civil war, Wales, the future King of England, had not a word to Bay in favor of the country which had received him with open arms. On the contrary, he sympathized with Palmorston and Bonaparte in the aid and comfort which those worthies gave to the enemies of the Republic Wales, too, made his salaam to the Old rublio Functionary at Washington. Miss Lane took him to a young ladies seminary, where the hopeful scion of the Four Georges bad pleasant encounters with simpering school girls; and he was next taken to the grave of the Father of his Country, where he planted an acorn, whiob, it is hoped, will grow up in due time to be an oak. Parties were given to him, where all the, dancing and flirting things of the period were paraded before Wales by the matrons and Dents of those days. Tho tall fellows who swelled his suite came to think that a capital so obse quious to a prince was not after all so very republican; and so, when the news came of a break-up, they said they had all foreseen it, and deemed themselves wiser if not better men. If any of the English princes had imitated the example of those of the royal house of France, and taken up arms in defense of the American Union, their presence in the United States would have been a pledge of real Bri tish sympathy. But to come here to be lion ized, and go home to laugh at our foolishness and to join the ranks of our enemies, is, we should think, a different thing. This experi ment, however, is now to be repeated. Ar thur, to be sure, has not the prestige of being heir to the throne; but he is a chip of the same block, and the snobs and flunkies who gathered around the one will be sure to adore the other. Considering the international reoord of Great Britain in her relations with the United Slates, and the present complications, it would perhaps have been more prudent in Queen Victoria not to invest the travels in this country of one of her sons with the offi cial character of a visit to the President of the United States. Wales, moreover, did not pretend to come as a royal Prince, but as Baron Renfrew; and though this could i.not prevcnVhim from figuring in all the grandeur of royalty, her Majesty's desiro was that he should deport himself modestly, and without encouraging the tuft-hunters among tha richer end more subservient portion of the American population. In the case of Arthur, no such precaution seems to have been taken. His coming is trumpeted forth as that of a full-fledged re presentative of English royalty, to the great delight of the flunkeyism of Washington city, and of its Pumpernickel legations. And so let them make the most of it. , i ? A CONTRAST-GENERAL. GRANT AND PRESIDENT GRANT, From th N. Y. Ileralti, General Grant throughout the war and up to the time of his election to the Presidency was justly regarded as a thoroughly represen tative American. On all questions in which the honor, glory and progress of his country were involved he was American to the core. Ho had none of the contracted ideas of New England sectional politicians, no affinity with European or monarchical institutions, preju dices, or habits of thought. Raised in the great West, he had tho broad and sturdy re publican ideas of that section. His patriot ism was elevated, and, like the region' of country where he had his home, was wide in its range, and. as comprehensive as its des tiny. He had no narrow views of American policy or progress, and, like all true Western men, believed in tho manifest destiny of this mighty Republic. Such a man was General Grant when ho re-entered tho army at tho commencement of tho late war, and all through his glorious military career till he reached the Presidency. It will bo remembered how truly this lofty American patriotism of General Grant was shown in the case of the French occupation of Mexico. He regarded the invasion of that neighboring republic by the French and the setting up a monarchy on our border by a European power as a gross insult to the United States, as a blow at republican gov ernment on this continent and a violation of tho Monroe dootrine. lie said, in fact, ; it was a part of the war against the United States, and that the war would not be com pletely finished till the French and their Imperial system were driven from Mexican soil. Aoting upon these views, he boldly pro posed to march an army to tha Rio Grande to drive the French out of Mexico. At that time he had no fear of war with any European nation. He would have risked" a war with Franco in defense of American republicanism and institutions; yes, to defend those in a neighboring country, though we had no diffi culty with Franso ourselves apart from this question, he would have risked a war with the greatest power in Europe to defend and pro tect American republicanism. A thrill of pride and admiration ran through the hearts of our people when the great captain of tho war thus proclaimed his fearless and lofty American patriotism. Ho knew that France could not measure swords with the United .States, if even Napoleon had been foolish enough to try the experiment. He knew, in fact, that all Europe combined could not conquer this republio, or even land any con siderable force on its shores. But whatever the risk or cost, he was then ready to dofend republican principles in America and tho es tablished policy of his country. What a change has come over General Grant since he became President ! Or rather what a change has taken place siuco last spring or summer ! In the cose of Cuba he seems to have forgotten his high-toned Ame rican principles and policy. He seems to quuil before an insignificant power like Spain, and to abandon the cause of republican liberty in America from fear of the least difficulty. How are the mighty fallen 1 Yet, when wo spunk of tho President wo would rather say his administration, for we cannot believe his nature is changed, and still think that in his heart ho wishes the independence of Cuba. There is every reason to tear he has been and is influenced in his anti-Cuban and un-Amori-can policy by certain members of his Cabiaet nnd the chairman of tho Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Secretary of State, Attorney-General Hoar, aud Mr. Sumner have misled him, no doubt, by a cunning and per sistent system of misrepresentation. The position they have assumed on the Cuban question, and their outspoken hostility to tho Cuban cause, loave no doubt about that. Then, it is known that while tho lamented General Rawlins lived and was a member of the Cabi net the President munifoHled great interest in the Cubans, nd went so fur oven as to inti mate lnt summer to the Spanish Govern ment, through our Minister at Madrid, that the United States would have to recognize the Cubans before long. With tho death of his friend, the noble Rawlins, the President appears to have fallen completely undor the influence of the pro-Spanish members of the Cabinet and Mr. Snroner. Hence was perpe trated that outrage upon tho feelings and sen timent of the American people in letting loose the thirty gunboats from our shores to crush, if possible, tho rising republio of Cuba; hence the overstrained and extraordinary efforts that have been made to prevent the Cuban patriots from getting any supplies from this country, and hence the deaf ear the adminis tration has turned to the appeals of the Ame rican press and public and the Cubans. Now, the question iR, will the President hereafter follow the promptings of his own heart, or those blind, narrow-minded, and prejudiced men thot surround him? The Cubans are entitled to recognition, for they have an organized government and have fought for upwards of fifteen months, heroi cally and with remarkable success, the war for republican freedom. On reasonable in ternational grounds they are entitled to this; but the Government ought to take bolder and higher ground than that. It onght to follow the sympathies and wish of the American people, and aid, directly or indirectly, the cause of liberty in Cuba. A million and a half of people, American born, almost within sight of our coast, who have never been al lowed the smallest right of self-government, and who have been under tho heel of the worst despotism in tho world, cry to us for help, or at least for recognition. We can give this without danger or inconvenience. Ought we not to do it? But if we lay aside all sentiment if wo choose to say we care noth ing for a brave' and Buffering people strug gling for freedom, or for the progress of American republicanism and look at this matter in a selfish point of view only, there are the strongest reasons for securing the independence and annexation of Cuba. It would be the most valuable possession the United States could acquire. Its internal and natural wealth is incalculable, its developed resources vast, its commerce" very largo, and in a naval and military point of view it is tho key of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and tho whole of the Antilles. Our in terest in every way and on a large scale would be promoted by the independence and recog nition of Cuba. Any other nation in the world similarly situated would not hesitate a moment to seize such an opportunity as Cuba presents to promote its interests and to increase its power and grandeur. If the President cannot comprehend what is our national policy with regard to Cuba, it is to be hoped Congress will. THE STRIKE OF THE TELEGRAPHERS, From the X. Y. Timet. When the Western Union Telegraph opera tors attempt by a strike to obstruct even temporarily the business of the whole coun try, they should, at least, take care to bo pro vided with a real grievance. Otherwise the public, which gonerally forms a pretty accu rate judgment upon such matters, will not extend to them its sympathy, nor deem their action justified. The case as between the telegraphers avd the company stands at pre sent thus: The Protective League of the former say that tho company reduced tho salaries of certain operators at San Francisco, and that those who refused to submit to tho reduction wcro discharged. And thoy require that the discharged men be reinstated at their old salaries, and that no reduction take place in any cases. This statement is clear and simple enough, but unfortunately for tho credit of the strikers it rests on no basis of truth. General Palmer, the Secretary of tho com pany, distinctly disavows any knowledge of an intention to lower salaries, on his part or that of Mr. Mumford, the agent at San Fran cisco. This latter gentleman, on being ques tioned by General Palmer, is as explicit. He says, in words susceptible of no misinterpre tation, "I have reduced no salaries," and he adds that he has had "no intention of doing so." Two men were discharged for two rea sons they "were trying to make disturb ance," and the force was unnecessarily large. And "the plea of a general reduction is with out, the slightest foundation as a matter of fact." . - The League, in reply to these denials, sim ply express their disbelief of them, and reite rate the demand for restoration of the San Francisco discharged operators. But, in ad dition to this, they announce that various of their members at different points "have already suspended work," and it is demanded that these latter be reinstated in their former positions, the time lost by the strike being deducted from their month's pay. And on being refused these conditions, and assured that they had been imposed upon by some of the brethren in Son Francisco, they decloro the strike general. This, without a word of exaggeration, is the whole story. There is but one inference possible to be drawn from it. The strike was evidently resolved upon by a few loaders, pretext or no pretext. A complaint that two men, who aro not named, but who, we pre sume, will be, were dispensed with for what, as any person in his senses will agree, their employer had a right to consider good auso, is all the capital of fact the leaders hud to work upon. It Bufliced for their purpose. But are not the great body of the telegraphers thereby placed in a false position? They are lending themselves to a transaction which their better judgment can never approve. The only result musk inevitably be injury to themselves, if they persist in a course which is no less than folly. Had the cause for a strike really existed, they might have claimed the publio symnatny; no cause exists, now ever, and they are simply mado to appear as a body of intelligent and respectable persons ' who aro hoodwinked by false friends working in secret for their own private aims.
