IJortCH SenorcR Diput.Mioa: I vm to explain the interpellation of which I luivo given notico to the Government rfnec1in;,' their interior and exterior policy. The Kepuhliwn minority, throngh circumstances outside of our will, have not been nblo to exerciHO tho grand tribunate the opposition ought ever to have ia this place. Nevertheless, tho circumstances which have occurred ninco tho end of July are gravo and cxtraonliuury, and tho passing moments ore, gentlomeu, moments supreme. We must try, now or never, to found in Spain liberty and legal authority. I riso not for Bterile recriminations. I rise to procure the common accord of oil in founding the reiyn of liberty! Let ws review impartially all that bas happened. Our sessions woro suspended and tho Carlint insurrection arose the Gov ernment assumed tho dictatorship. Our sos Hions were resumed and the republican insur rection broke out. Tho Government asked and obtained a dictatorship ampler and more legal. Notwithstanding this gravo amplitude, the Government have abused their authority, exceeded their faculties, trampled, laws under foot they had no right to trample upon, and violated guarantees wo believed .secured, not only by written sanction but by a higher sanction that of natural right divine! To this there has been added a struggle between the political and ecclesiastical power; the disap pearance of the elements most conservative to tho roinforcement of those most radical all and everything confounded and complicated with the pending clerical reforms and tho election of tho monarch. Gentlemen, the perturbation is so great that it is neces sary to record the simplest and most essential principles of justice. Kospoct to the law is tho basis not merely of organized society, but of rudimontary society. When governmentsi and peoples are not adjusted to this lino of conduct they pass rapidly from anarchy to despotism, and from despotism to anarchy, without an hour of peace or an instant of repose. (Cheers.) A celebrated naturalist Baid that if a man passed at one leap from the polo to tho tropics ho would become mad. Then how can a people, who have passed briskly from Bourbon tyranny to tho liberty of September, pass from the liberty of Sep tember to the late dictatorship ? Do not de reive us with tho pucrilo prido of hav ing good laws. Those laws should be ful filled. Conservatives, progressists, democrats, - republicans we all had one universal base. Such felicity had not happened in Spain for a long time; it hod never been known before in the constitutional epoch. That common base was the respect to individual rights, engrossed in the' first chapter of the Contitution. We tad them grounded in our conscience; you bad formed them into laws, and the conser vative party had accepted them. Even the very Bourbon party invoked thom "in their misfortune, and invoked them when justice was the more necessary invoked them as a shield and protector thus demonstrating their reason and their universality. To save this legality by observing it faithfully, ought to be tho conduct of tho elected of the revo lution of September. What was tho unfor uate conduct of tho Government ? From tho very first day, from the very first moment Dow in sophistical circulars, now in reactionary dispositions they defeated individual rights. The speeches from these benches have been the perpetual commentary on their actions. I am sorry to see the President of the Council, General Trim, writing, for I could . bave wished him to hear mo. (beuor Sagasta "He is taking notes!") The theory of .the Government's policy has been given to us in the last sessions by the President of tho Council of Ministers. When my friends asked with so much anxiety for the fate of those who had been transported to the prison of Carraca, bis Excellency commenced by de vouring or forgetting one of tho gravest offenses they had committed. Article 31 of the constitution says that even in the necessity of rmblishinc ezcentional laws no citizen should be taken more than 2."0 kilometres from bis own domicile. Kevertholess they bave transported citizens over 000 kilometres from their domiciles. Whsn we recollect, gentlemen, that this illegality has been com mitted not onco but a thousand times, if wo were to put the kilometrical irregularities of tho Government, one upon tho other, we might arrive, I don't Bay to the moon, but possibly to the ancient dominions of the King of Dahomey or the future domi nions of the Duke of Genoa ! (Loud laugh ter.) I wish, gentlemen, we were among a free people like the English, where the re sponsibility of the Government and its agents is not a dead letter, but an effective reality. I wish we were in England. Those who have been transported beyond the radius prescribed Juy law could sue you at the tribunals, and you would be condemned to indemnify them; and as I don't suppose ministers are so rich as to bo able to give a thousand indemnities, and as they have not abolished imprisonment for debt, we should have tho pleasure of see ing all the ministers imprisoned by their creditors, the republicans. (Great laughter.) This spectacle would indeed bo grand and in structive. Have the Government given account of the dissolutions at Cadiz, Jerez, Malaga, and many other places X don't stop to mention? The same arti cle prescribes their immediate -reorganization. Have you done this? A year has passed and they are still waiting reorganization! That is to say, for a whole year you have boen breaking tke law! You have carriod your arbitrariness so far that you have dissolved militias who refused to elect officers named by the Government, when by the law they have tho right to elect their own officers? What have you done with the militia of Paloncia? Tell mo would it sot have been better to have made a law re serving to yourselves, as in the French em pire, the nomination of the militia chiefs? This would bave boon a legal arbitrariness, far preferable to a capricious arbitrariness. While a law exists it should be complied with. Some day trouble will come and by the road we are travelling we shall well deserve it then yon will invoke the national militia! You will invoke it, but you will not find it; and I hope to God that then you will hear the cry the first fratricide heard "Cain! Cain! what hast thou done with thy brother?" (Cheers and sensation.) I pass on, gentlemen, to another institution more essential the Cortes will Understand I refer to tho Ayuntamientos (corporations). The Government policy with this is like the witches' caldron in Macbeth it is indescribable ! A truly wise and revolu- tionary government would bave fomented municipal life. To the disparagement into which this bas fallen, we owe great part of our misfortunes, we owe corruption at elections, inaptitude for publio life in many pueblos, bureaucracy, and emplomania. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, bow did the municipality edu cate ? AVbftt was the most enlightened of the ancient peoples? Grecco. Why ? Bo mipe it was tie people in or, municipal ! WLnt was the r-.ost cnligtitenod people ff the middle ages? Italy. Why? liecauKo it was the pooplo most munici pal. Travelling through Germany, tho feudal cities are distinguished from tho muni cipal citiew, in that tho latter have more riches, more commerce, more enlightenment! I maintain that all the Ayuntami entos dissolved and not proceeded against within the thirty days according to law, ouglit to go to their Town Halls, and command their constables to tako bv tho arm and expel tho military Ayuntamientos, who aro not the Avuntamientos of tlie people and ot univer sal suffrage, but Ayuntamientos of the Gov ernment, and therefore factious and rebels ! (Intense commotion; cries of men ! vicu Members on tho Government side protesting; . . , , iir i ii X'rcsKieni ringing ino oon ana ciunug iouuiy for order.) Call you this authority or liberty? Even tho Minister of Fomento, who, I will do him tho justice to believe, is very liberal even he has forgotten the law, or else he is ignorant of what has been done in his own department. Do yon not recollect, gentlemen, that the government of Narvaoz menaced an obscure professor in tho Univer sity, who said: "Seated in my chair, I will wait until the Government come and, with violent hand, tear the gown from off my shoulders. I am Rtrong in my right and my tranquillity." The Government did como and laid their hand on tho gown of the pro fessor, and then came tho events of Kth April, and they burnt their hands. (Applause) Even yet I remember that immortal session in which ono of tho greatest orators of this chamber rose to the attitude of Mirabeau and Danton in denunciation of this act, and stamped in tho faces of tho agents of that Government with his words of fire tho brand of mittcrablcs! (Tremendous f.pplause.) Do you know what has happened now ? More than ono, more than two, more than three even the very schoolmaster, poor fellow, who taught mo to read have been expelled only for being Republicans. Is this tho freedom of education proclaimed by tho Revolution of September? Every right has been vio lated, every law broken. Von cannot kill a man illegally without making yourselves criminals, neither can you kill those supe rior individualities, tho family, or the municipal, without committing a social homi cide. Shall we bo so materialistic that we can only see the assassin when the hot blood of tho victim spurts out? Well, then, to assassinate by suffocation one aspiration of the human conscience ono thought of tho soul, is by assiisHiuiition to destroy a social personality. You cannot blot out a star without destroying tho equilibrium of the universe. (Cheers.) You cannot destroy a right, oven the smallest, without disturbing the equilibrium of society. Tho people most devoted to liberty are the Saxon. Amongst them is the axiom that there is no offense which cannot be reached by legal justise. But the Saxon people to systematic violation of the law have always opposed armed resist ance. They wroto it in tho Magna Charta. (Cheers.) They wroto it in the second chapter of tho statuets of William and Mary. (Cheers.) There tho tribunals have absolvod homicides committed on the persons of officers of the gov ernment, when done in tho just defense of the right of liberty as sacred as the right of life. Amongst us in Spain, there are few of these habits of resistance within the right. We know how to be war riors, guerilleros and soldiers; we know bow to be excellent conspirators, but we know not bow to be citizens. (Loud cheers.) The theory of liberty has not pene trated into the Government before us. We have not the national sovereignty! What has all been for? Because they wished to restore the monarchical prestige. For this the Minis ters of Grace and Justice and the Gober- nacions issued their celebrated and tyrannical circulars, to restore tho monarchical prestige which died on the 2'Jth of September. For this they prohibited our vivas and our mot toes to the Republic! For this they dissolved our committees: . I or this tney disarmed our militia! (Cheers.) But, Senores of tho Gov ernment, (addressing tho Ministry), a very crave thine has happened to you. After having as you thought restored the monarchic col prestiijo by the success of your arms against the republicans, you have completely annihilated the prestige amongst tho con servatives, tho union liberal, by the unhappy idea of your candidate, lou navo discon certed tho republicans; you have dis concerted the union liberal; why did Senores Ardanaz and Silvela quit the Minis try? Why did there disappear also from it the personification of tho Revolution of Sep tember, the Brigadier Topote? Why have you lost almost all the conservative forces? Even if you have not lost the Regent it is because you have shut bim up in a golden cago! (Immense applause and laughter.) O, rare coincidence! The king did not appear when you treated ot religious ireedom; tne king did not appear when you treated of uni versal suffrage: tho king did not appear when you laid down the basis of our constitution; but yesterday, as if deep called unto deep, the Minister of War solemnly notified this assembly of tho advent of the king, at the same time that he asked us for HO, 000 men to augment the army. (General Prim No, not to augment it.) Well, then, 80,000 for the army it is all tho same. The king bas not appeared on the carpet when treating of votes, bat when treating of boyonets. (Cheers and laughter. ) 1 ins candidature of the Duke of Genoa proves to me that you are ancient republicans, as we are. You don t under stand one word of monarchical theology. Your king reminds me of that fantastical beino created artificially by Wagner, the dis ciple of Faust that being who came out of au alchemistic composition of acids, phos phorus, and other substances, in the midst of grand cabalistic words, and in conjunction with I don't know how many stars; and the first thing he did on breaking the retort was to fly oft in the arms of the devil, and leave bis padre cieuUjxco in abandonment and des pair. (Loud laughter.) Yes ! Your artificial king differs from the natural kings, as the creation of Wagner differs from the grand creation cast in the bosom or tne universe : (Cheers.) After all, to found the republic, the government of the people by the people, we do not need to look into the faces of the potentates of Europe ! It is Bmncient to asu inspiration from our own spirit ! But I ask you, can you found this monarchy can you do it without tho good pleasure of the European diplo macy ? Do you not remember, all the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were employed in preventing Austrians to rule on the throne of Spain and on the throne of Germany ? This is tho whole of tho long struggle which commenced in Pavia and ended in Kocroy I All tne eignteentn J century was employed by Europe in prevent ing the Jsourbous seating themselves on tne throne of Spain and on the throne of France or at least that they should keep the other side ot the .Pyrenees, And now are you going to seat the Duke of Genoa on the throne of Spain ? New that France finds herself .con fined by the groat revolution concluded in Switzerland, tuuliued ly the coasts ol itiiiy and Spain, now you throw this blow into hor face, when she already has another grand menace on the Rhine. Don't yon know what may happen ? It may happen that Napr.leon III will sock, in the now stifled and sophisti cated liberty and democracy, the crown of his son in a victory on tho Rhine ! And what then ? What then will be our fato ? If Prussia triumphs in this groat contest, don't you fear the fato wo may hnvo when there is no obstacle in the North? Ami if France triumphs, do you not fear that the lust dream of Napoleon III may be to restore tho empire of Charlemagne, and embrace from the Rhino to tho Ebro ? Yon expose Spain to these grand catastrophes. Spain does not bolieve the candidature of the Duko of Genoa is serious. It is formal. It is a joke. It can not succeed. But tho enigma of our situation must cease. Save us from it in the interest of all ! If you wish the people to obey you, you must obey the law. My friends and my self are resolved to contribute all wo can to a normal epoch of order and peace. Wo wish liberty, and the government of tho people by the people. Wewisn nothing to do witn tfie conservatives. If you wish to win us to your banners, don't offer us employs, nor places.nor coinnaandR. Yve wish not those; we dospise them ! Offer us the government of tho people by the people separation of Church and State, reduction of tho army, and a na tional reserve, a diminution in tho taxes, etc., and then you will see us unite witn you in the furtherance of all grand ideas. Tho sword is not tho best lightning-rod against social tempests ! Like all metals, it attracts! Adopt the lightning-rod of England, Switzer land, of Belgium, of the United States ! Place that above tho sword tne ngutning- rod of civil power and justice ! (Cheers.) If you wish the violence of the people to abate, you must abate yours. .nougn oi suspen sions of ayuntamientos; enough of falsifying the constitutional guarantees; enough of dis solutions of militias; enough of sophistical circulars! Create a government just and liberal, and as power passes sofngitivelyfrom the hands of liberals, yon may bo condemned to a lone opposition, and to-morrow may yourselves bo wanting the liberty and the justice wo ask to-day! (Intense opplause repeated over and over again.) MnscimiorArt ns a Mean oi'In (..ruction. Tho subiect of an art-museum cannot be discussed too often, as it cannot be too well understood by the guardians of civilization and the conservators of tho means of culture. Museums of art are the best means of foster ing and cultivating the bistorio sense; they afford us examples of the finest and rarest and most curious expression of the social life of the past; thoy nurse tho sentiment of reve rence; they beget tolerance, and anord plea sure. We are so poor in this moans of in struction, we ha?e so little sense of the value and significance of so costly a gift, that most of us are rather ashamed ol being poor in wnat is the boast of foreigners than unhappy be cause of our laggard and dull response to a moral and nosthetic claim upon our material resources. .Next to mitigating tne poverty of helpless and infirm persons relieving them from hunger, and protecting them from cold certainlv. we should rank an effort to make all classes acquainted with the beautiful and curious manifestations of tne human mind, and the lovely and interesting works of men's hands. For this purpose, we must have the means of general and special in struction in art, in its broadest sense. We want a museum of the fine arts, and of the industrial art as affected by the fine arts. This museum should hold specimens of the arts of luxury of Europe since the disruption of the Roman empire, fragments or examples of the architecture and sculpture and paint ing of all epochs, classified and arranged, not merely to gratify the curiosity of an idle mind, but for tho study of workmen and special students of the fine arts. Taught by these specimens of the formative genius of the most gifted people of the noblest epochs, we shall soon have a body of men capable of commencing a crusade against ostentation in the name of beauty; and the common, pre tention s, and ugly objects of our every-day life, in time, shall be replaced by objects and forms that will give pleasure, sol ten manners, and counteract the now unmitigated exercise and influence of mere industrialism, and these objects will compensate the average citizen for the extremes of luxury and want, Life is sweeter, even to the poor, under a civilizution which is favorable to the growth and cultivation of the artistic perceptions The poor man is happier, has more varied and elevated intercourse witn .Nature and his fellow-men, in Italy and France than in industrial England and America. Our pov erty in art is poverty in the ameliorations of civilized life. We rightly employ science to enlarge our empire over the material world, and mitigate pain; but in the meantime we do not administer sufficient consolation to man's spiritual life, now neglected, now out raged, nor do we labor to accumulate and co ordinate the moral and aesthetic elements of the past and present. A great museum of art is the only adequate sign and institution of those neglected and exquisite forces, which play through the life of the people of the Old World. A museum of art would afford ns adequate instruction in the vestiges of the ancient civilizations a solemn and beau tiful teaching it would foster reverence without which man is barbarian, and ob. noxious to every fine and noble sense of the difference of things. We are a raw and noisy and obtrusive people; but place ono genera tion of us under the influence ot tne past, let us see something trrand and beautiful, not made by our bands, yet made by the hands of men, and perhaps we shall feel the sweet flower of humility break througn our pride, and diffuse its gracious influence over us Humility, that flower of the religious life, and reverence, which is the growth of our appreciation of what is above and indepen dent of us, are sentiments which have no place whatever in our life at present. An bumble and reverent American should be the first object to be labelled and pedestalled in our new museum, but will probably be the last work of art we shall get. Our grand museum, enrichod by all that intelligence and money can glean from the Old World, with every thing about it spacious and imposing, commenced, not to be com pleted, by this generation, but designed so as to employ the bands of coming generations, and large enough to house all that is neces sary for the illustration of the brief life of the fleeting generations of men must, in a word, be comprehensive, and it must be im posing. The entrance and corridors must bo a worthy counterpart to the lofty aisles of our pine-forests, its balls capable of housing the Assyrian kings and the Egyptian sphynx, and the paintings of great masters, new and old. Commerce, industry, and science have done much for our century. It remains to be seen if the best men haveabandoned architecture and painting, and no more con cern themselves with the illustration and adornment of the life of our rate; whether we Lave force and taste enough to make the 1 tunc J i(ni,i to bold the wonderful picture ol the past; whether we lovo anything but the gross accumulations of trade, and the os teutatiousnesB of luxury, linchastcned by levtrence for the past, and humility for ourMiives. The instruction civen to ns bv a museum of art is an instruction in tho monuments of the human race, in the poems in stone and bronzo and ivory and color in a word, in struction in the forms of that dazzling and wonderful temple, the human body. Lacking such instruction, we are, for the most part, ignorant of what constitutes tho first part of ino ancient civilizations, and we remain un chustened in our vulgarest ambitions. Our want of instruction in art lcavos a wholo order of sensations and faculties . un trained or meanly employed. What is it but our want of the free and constant means of art-education, which ' a museum liko the Louvre affords to the Parisian, that makes us so helpless when we wish to produce an esthetic work, and makes the aspect of our richest cities vulgar and ostentations, in proportion to the money expended, much of our litera ture common or tawdry, and keeps conversa tion always down to tho level of tho business mind ? Our want of instruction in art that is to say, our want of a evcat xmseum of art likewise affects our journalists and pub licists, anu Keeps tnem below tne level ol the foreign journalist in all social questions; this want of a museum affects even the American artisan, and keeps him below the French arti san in his relation to the lino and beautiful. Our want of a musenm of art leaves a clear and vast mental field for statements and con clusions, fatal to everything like service to tho beautiful, and keeps most of us ignorant of the examples of a noble and stimulating means of public instruction. In this country the poor man has fewer obstacles in getting his daily bread than in the old country, and this fact would seem to point out that our rich men are not tho most intelligent, nor the most beneficent whon they provide food and raiment and shelter for the people, but whon they combine to afford us means of enjoyment which increase our sense of the value and pleasure of life when they unite to collect and house the most exquisite and precious memorials of the life and genius, tho nature and aptitudes of tho human race, at different epochs and in different climates. Tho poor man in this country can provide for his body; in some sort, he can make literature his pos session Shakespeare, and the Bible, and the modern press feed his life but for art, for all tho historic glories of art, for the magio and wpnder of the ancient ideals ideals now lost only vast wealth, and the co-ordimation of intelligent minds, are adequate to meet such a want. Therefore, tho largess of our rich men should bo given freely for a great museum of art, accessible to all, and hospitable to every form of historic significance and real artistio value. Most of our social defects spring from the very want of such an instrumentality ot social pleasure and general and special instruction; and, until wo have such a means of instruction, we shall suffer from the absence of the chief means of culture, and one whole side of our nature must remain poorly nourished in our civilization.
