MR. WELLS HIMSELF.
Prim th K. T. Xttion.
Tho low opinion of American honetity en
tertained in various countries of Enropa often
excites the indignation of American travel
lers, and many of them, knowing how unjust
it is, ascribe it to rancorous hostility to our
institutions. But, then, those who are most
familiar with the way in which opinions are
formed in foreign countries are aware that
most of whatever disrepute tho national cha
racter rests under with regard to all that Class
of virtues inoluded under the term bouifdn,
is tho handiwork of a portion of the American
press. Tho bitterest reviler of America and
Americans haa never ventured on such foul
charges and foul insinuations as some of our
contemporaries hurl nearly every day against
men who are put forward by American aoci
ety as about as good specimens of tho Ameri
can man as it is capable of produoing. Wo
we were told the other day by an Ameri
can of distinction and his experience has
been that of hundreds of the bitterness
of the mortification which he endured when
in Germany during the impeachment trial, at
finding himself an object of daily condolence
on the part of his German friends touching
the corruption of Senators Trumbull, and
Fessenden, and Grimes, three of the foremost
statesmen of the party of virtue. And then,
there was no use in his denying it or trying
to explain it. It was not in a (Southern paper
they saw the story, noryet in the foul-mouthed
organs of Northern Copperheadism, who
make vilification one of their ordinary
weapons of party warfare; but in the New
York Tribune, the mouthpiece of tho best
element in the Northern population, and
which had up to the time of impeachment
been holding these very men up to the admi
ration of mankind.
We bid fair, too, in Mr. Wells' case, to far
nish Europe with another reason for believ
ing in our ntter rottenness. Mr.' Wells has
had everything done for him that American
society can do. lie has been well born, well
bred, and furnished with the best education
the country affords. lie has lived with the
best men of his day, and has won and enjoys
their esteem. He has displayed very remark
able powers of analysis and induction in a
field of social science which nntil now can
hardly be said to have been explored in this
country, and has for this reason been selected
by the Government to perform the very im
portant duty of supplying the data for legis
lation on matters of finance and taxation dur
ing a period of great publio difficulty and,
indeed, peril. If ever man has given the
State guarantees for his good behavior, it is
he. And yet what do foreigners learn about
him from tho organ of the sober, virtuous,
religious, reading, writing, and thinking
Northern publio J Why, that the minute ho
secured an official position, and- through it,
influence on publio opinion, he sold his ser
vices to a foreign government and to foreign
traders, and, in consideration of a certain
. sum in "foreign geld," agreed to suppress
material facts, manipulate figures, and con
struct deluding (arguments for their benefit,
and for the deception and impoverishment of
his own countrymen.
l a 1 1 1
ji course, everyuouy uertt nuuwa uuw ioaho
these insinuations are; but then, unfortun
ately, their silliness and absurdity prevent
people feeling the downright wickedness of
them, and visiting the men who invent and
propagate them with the indignation they de
serve. These slanders do, however, in one
way, recoil on the heads of their authors, in
asmuch as they excite, first, distrust, and then
hostility towards the cause they are intended
to help. There is no cause which will bear
being lied for. Even the Christian religion,
strong as are its claims on the respect of
mankind, has suffered, and still suffers' ter
ribly, from attempts to spread it by false
hood, and slander, and misrepresentation of
opponents; and what it cannot bear
we may bo sure protection cannot.
One marked result of the at
tacks on Mr. Wells has been the steady
growth of his authority, and the steady in
crease of confidence in the statements and
conclusions of his reports. Nothing, it is safe
to say, has ever appeared on this class of sub
jects which has produced such a profound
impression on publio opinion. His conclu
sions, it is true, have borne hard on the whole
theory and practice of protection; but there
was only one way of upsotting them or des
troying them, and that was, showing either
that his facts were not facts or that the rea
soning based on them was incorrect. This
has not been done; and for this, naked asser
tions that Mr. Wells has been bribed, and
that he has been guilty of suppression and
distortion, are not proper and suffioientjsub
titutes. There is talk just now among some of the
more rabid high-tariff men about not only
suppressing his report as far as Congress is
concerned, but "kicking him out" of the Re
publican party; but then, we presume, wiser
counsels will prevail. The suppression of
tho report by the House would, of course,
only increase the number of its readers, and
Mr. Wells would be followed out of the lle
tmblican party by such large numbers of tho
' present members that we doubt whother
enough would be left to carry on the business
of the concern afterwards with any degree of
success. There is a class of men in the party
who have always been a little anxious to get
rid of its brains, finding the thinking faculty
a nuisance, and, almost as soon as a man
gives evidence of reaching his conclusions
with his head, got up a movement for his ex
pulsion. Mr. Trumbull and tho lute Mr. Fes-
senden had a narrow escape, but they did
escape; and their example nas bad a very
enoouraging effect. If the protective system
will not bear discussion and from tho
dislike of the
high-tanff men to permit
of Mr. Wells' report, and
the circulation
the refusal of
the Tii'nine to print it,
it apparently
will not it certainly
cannot stand, and there is not the blightest
use, as we have more than onco said, in
claiming a quasi-sacred character for it, a1?
some" of its friends seem disposed to do, and
treating people who quotstion its value as bad
men, to whom plunder or treason would not
be particularly disagreeable. It is a theory
of taxation like another, of human origin, and
that not a particularly respectable one
Larue numbers of some of the best, and, on
all other things, at loast, wisest men in the
modern world condemn it, and think it a
, Btuiubling-block in tne way 01 numan pro
cress, and some of the foremost States are
gradually abandoning it. Protectionists munt,
therefore, be reasonable and patient, take off
their . sacerdotal robes, ana lay aside taeir
cursing instruments, and come down into tho
' arena among tne rent 01 us, and give and take
in the common secular game of political fisti
cuffs.' Fair play is all they are entitk'.Vtoj
and that they shall certainly haw. The
young men, it is
true, are mostly on tho

A BLACK RECORD.
From the g. r. Tribune.
The undisguised appeals to partr spirit in
tho addresses of Lieutenant Governor Beach
and Bpraker Hitchman in taking tho chairs
respectively of the Henato and Assembly of
our (State, are novelties in our history, but
not necessarily consurablo. Truth is always i
preferable to falsehood; and, since the legis
lation and government of our Btate are to be
moulded and animated by intense devotion to
the interest of a party, it is well that the fact
should be so bluntly proelaimod. . Theso ad
dresses are but echoes of the more elaborate
and pretentious partisan malignity of the
colossal fraud which usurps the Governorship
of our btate. But one passage in Hitchman s
harangue is so grossly untruthful as to render
its rebuke and exposure an imperative duty.
It is that wherein he says:
'The enfranchisement of an enslaved race, which
rciultcd from that strnRRle, thejr .(Democrats) not
only acoept, but they recognize the'oDllgatlon of ele
vating and advancing that race to the highest condi
tion til which It is capable."
Thus much for the professions of Speaker
Hitchman. Now let us consider them in the
light of history.
By the original Constitution of our State,
framed by her Revolutionary patriots during
their desperate struggle for independence, no
difference was made or recognized between
whites and blacks. Slavery then existed in
our State, and slaves were conceded no poli
tical rights; but every black freeman was al
lowed to vote on precisely the same conditions
with white freemen. Ho tlrfey did without
objection for over forty years, or nntil the
Constitutional Convention of 1821 a body
overwhelmingly Democratic which at once
commenced a foray on the rights of thepoor and
powerless handfull of free blacks. A majority
of the Democrats would have disfranchised
them altogether; but a minority demurred,
and, uniting with the twenty or thirty
Federalists, secured the rights of suffrage to
a fraction of the blacks to all of them who
had lived three years in the State, and owned
$250 worth of real estato, free and clear of
incumbrance or debt. And that has ever
since been our fundamental law. Thrioe in
1840, in 1P0O, and in 1BG9 havo deoided
efforts been made to change it, so that tho
invidious discrimination against blacks
should be wiped out; but the Democratic
party has rallied all its forces to defeat these
appeals for justice and equality.
Tho Democrats of this State have just voted
their full strength against negro entranohiso
ment, after having fought it in our late Con
stitutional Convention with inhuman portiua
eity. Not less than one hundred distinct
propositions wore made by them in that Con
vention, and several weeks wasted, with in
tent to insult,' defame, and humiliate the
blacks, so as to make all possible capital out
of the antipathy with which they aro rogardod
by the lowest and barest, most ignorant and
prejudiced whites. From the beginning to
the end of that Convention, as also in the
canvass before the pnoplo, no chance of
flouting the unhappy African race, or heap
ing odium on those who stood up for their
rights, was loft unimproved.
Mr. Hitchman asserts that his fellow parti
sans "accept" the enfranchisement of the
four millions of our countrymen who were
formerly slaves. Indeed ! When did they
begin to accept it ? Certainly, not while
there was a prospect, a shadow of hope, that
it might bo prevented or defeated. Up to
the hour in which the last shacklo fell from
their limbs, the Democratio party denounced
emancipation as usurping, outrageous, a mea
sure of disunion, and at least equally unjusti
fiable with secession. "It has united the
South and divided tho North," was their
stereotyped outcry. Their last two candi
dates "for President McClellan and Sey
mour were its especial antagonists. Their
journals stigmatized Lincoln's proclamation
of freedom as an incitement to wholesale
arson, rape, and murder. If ever a party was
unanimous and vehement in condemning any
great publio measure, tho Democrats were
thus hostile to emancipation.
Mo thanHs to tnat party, slavery is ueaa.
Its resurrection is beyond human power. But
the blacks are still hated, despised, vilified,
and in every way defamed and degraded; and
that is the present business of the Democratio
party. The civil rights bill was opposed by
this party precisely as emancipation had been.
So long as it was possible, blacks were ex
eluded from street cars, as they 6till are from
stages in this Democratio eity. In States like
Kentucky, where Democracy bears undivided
sway, they are not allowed to give testimony
against whites. Wherever it is still possible
to imbrute and trample on them, Democracy
is now intent on tnat achievement.
The fifteenth amendment is simply a barrier
to such proscription and degradation, so far as
the right to vote and hold olu.ee is concerned,
Of course, tne Democrats onnose it every.
where, and to the bitter end. No Democratio
legislature has ratified or will ratify it. No
Democrat has voted for or now sunnorts it.
Our Democratic legislature lias made baste
to use its fraudulently- acquired power ex
pressly to rescind, so far as it can do so, its
ratification bv the urecedinar Renublican body.
The Democratio leaders insisted on doing this
before a committee was appointed or any
provision made for preliminary scrutiny of
bills or resolutions. Every Democrat but one
voted for the repeal.
Is it not stupendous effrontery, in view of
these well-known facts, for Mr. Hitchman to
profess that his party recognizes the obliga
tion to elevate and advance the blacks ? Tho
negro has borno up manfully against half a
century of Democratio hate, cruelty and op
pression. Ought he now to be slimed with
such barefaced, loathsome hypocrisy ?
SHALL WE BUY CUBA ?
Prtm the K. T. Sun.
Two of our contemporaries reconty pub- 4-
lished an erroneous report that negotiations
for the sale of Cuba to the United States
have for some time past been going on be
tween the rulers of Spain and the President
of the United States. The JleraUl makes this
announcement in the form of a telegram from
Washington. It is alleged that '.'our Minis
ter in Madrid has sounded both Serrano and
Prim as to their willingness to sell Cuba to
the United States, and that he has the highest
assurances that both those prominent states
men are favorable to tho project, and are
only waiting a favorable opportunity to con
summate it. The information of the 7'iiacn
is conveyed in a letter from Havana. "There
is hardly any doubt," says the writer, "that
the actual Government iu Spain is in treaty
with the . insurgents and the Amerioan Gov
ennent. ' To mention this fact openly would
be the signal of their downfall, uud tho imme
diate entrance of Prince Alfonso as f uturo
King of the Spaniards, with Lorsundi as Ra
gout during his minority." ' '- r
That Prim and Serrano are not unwilling
to Btll Cuba to the United States is probably
true. They are cunning knaves, always short
of money, and perfectly oblff to understand
that, as Spain i bound to lose tho island, any
siim they may get for it will bo so muoU clear
gain. It is also true, jio doubt, that they have
not dared to act upon their own judgment in
the matter. The Spanish pooplo cling to tho
possession of Cuba with unreasoning passion.
In their eyes that colony is not only a source
of boundless wealth, it is the Imt important
relic of the epoch whon Spain was an imperial
power, bearing sway in every part of the
world. This sentiment of the Spauiurds has
withheld their rulers from all opeu attempts
to replenish their bankrupt treasury by the
sale of the island; and we are able positively
to affirm that they have not yet made any
overtures of sale to General Sickles or Mr.
Fifth, and that General Sickles and Mr. Fish
have not made any overtures of purchase to
inem.
And yet it would not be surprising if the
Spanish Government Bhould soon find itsolf
in a condition to attempt to sell the Island.
The tone of discussion upon the Cuban ques
tion in the Spanish press has notably varied
during the last year, and indicates a rauioat
change in the popular feeling. At first the
journals of all parties savagely scoutod the
idea or allowing Cuba to be separated irotn
the mother country: now most of them admit
that separation would be advantageous, but
they insist that the Cuban insurrection must
first be nut down. That event. However, is
evidently as far off as ever: and we may ex
pect ere long to have an opportunity of saying
whether wo will buy Cuba, and now mucn wo
will pay for it. No matter who holds power
in Madrid whether mm or lopeto, or tne
Duke of Montpensier, or tho Prince of Astu-
rias. or the remiblio this conclusion is
equally probable.
MORE MONOPOLY CONSUMMATION OF
A GREAT JOB.
From the K T. Herald.
The report of the purchase of the so-called
French Atlantio cable by the other cable com
pany and the Western Union Company is very
likely to be true. The men went to Jt,urope
to endeavor to make that purchase. It was in
their interest, as purchasers, that nas been
made all the clamor against tho i rencn com
pany; and it soems to have been in their inte
rest and by their procuring that tne state De
partment assumed an attitude hostile to the
new enterprise, and even that there was in
serted in the President's Message a passage
calculated to dishearten tho Luropoan owners.
All this was the job of tho would-be buyers.
Their purpose was to cheapen the proportyby
showing to tho European capitalists that it
might eventually tiro v 9 a deud loss in their
hands. Now, therefore, if the report be true,
we shall hoar no more of the movements to
tear up tho French cable because France will
not permit an American cable to be landed on
her shores; we shull hear no more of all the
ridiculous and ingonious clamor aq.iinst this
enterprise, for it no longer stands in the way
of the gigantic monopoly that controls our
telegraphic sj-stem to tho injury and oppres
sion of the people.
But we shall hear, we trust, a great deal
moro of Mr. Washburn s bill, for there : is
more need for it now than ever. Our people,
we are afraid, scarcely realize the importance
of the tek graph in tho, concerns of daily life.
or there would be a general irresistible pres
sure upon Congress to puss a la v assuming
absolute and spcciho control over this great
est of the agencies by which the multifarious
operations of society are carried on. Before
the telegrnphic strike is over, however, it is
possible that there may be a change in this
regard. Just now the overworked and
underpaid agents ol this great machinery are
in rebellion. Although tho capital on which
the telegraph company ought to pay a divi
dend is only fifteen millions they call it forty
millions, so as to nine their exorbitant earn
ings. They pay a di idead on the forty mil
lions, and as the notitious excess of twenty-
hve millions takes up a nice slice of the earn
ings, theypleacd poverty and cut down tho
wages of their subordinates, ihus tho ope-
rators are sacrificed to n fiction. Against
this sacrifice they are in rebellion, and as the
employment is a branch or nigniy smiled
labor they may paralyze tho company, and
thus the country may to a great degree be
left without telegraphic faculties.
In that event we are certain that the people
wul have forced upon them some adequate
sense of the vital importance of this means of
communication in all commercial transactions;
and it is possible that their perception of this
may induce a pressure that will force the
tardy legislators at Washington to tako such
steps as will no longer leave the telegraph in
hands in which it is subject to such abuses as
those from which the people suffer in its pre-
soct management.
