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. Applcum s Journal.
