Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics-Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. JENKINS ABROAD. From the Chieayo livening 1'onl. Jenkins, that orvi!o American canlfil monger and Vanl Trj of personal secrets, has gone abroad. Ha is in Frauce. He corres ponds for the New York llertild. And his lirst visit bos been pai'l to Fetor Douaparto, the Imperial assassin, whose o'erdoue chest nuts Roohefort, Unstar Flourens, Paachnl OroiiRset, end other inflammatory Gnllio cats are industriously pulling out of the fire. Jenkins considered it an extraordinary con descension in the person visited to receive him at all he always docs, the sneaking caitiff. He had heard, he says, with a little prefatory sarcasm, bo much about "the bru tality of Monsieur le Frinoe Tierre Napoleon Bonaparte," that he expected to be eaten up alive, som cl, as by a hyena. But he gave to the turnkey the card bearing the Jenkins monogram and coat of arms, and was told to 'wait." '"There was," explains Jenkins, "a compassionate tone in the turnkey's voice." Compassionate! Indeed, we should think there was neod of compassion such heroio immolation in one bo young. It was enough to extract a sigh of pity from tho conventional mother-in-law. But Jenkins, with his usual discretion, had hedged. Accompanying his card he had ob viouKly Bent a note, assuring Fetor the Little how sorry the American people were for him that they regarded him aa the abused indi vidual, and only blamed him for not killing De Fv.uville and all the othor Republicans. So the Frince relented. Ho said, "Send the fellow up !" Then Jenkins resumes the nar rative: "I was In the presence of the Prince. On entering I found the Prince sitting near the furthest window, converging with six gentlemen, lie rose and advanced to meet me. He cordially shook ray hand, and said: 'Monsieur, I thank yon for your sympathy.' Turning to a lady dressed In mourning, who was seated on the sofa, he introduced rue. It was the Priucess. The Prince oflercd mo a chair, and the convereation I had Interrupted was re sumed." The Frince and rrincess seem to have com prehended Jenkins at a glance. They took up their previous conversation where he had broken it, and scarcely noticed his presence again, more than if he had been a fly. The circumstance that he was not instantly kicked out impressed Jenkins wonderfully. He hud been kicked out of so many places that the omission was conspicuous in fact it was mysterious and awe-inspiring. "Most of the gentlemen were decorated with the rosette of the Legion of Honor." To be permitted to sit in such a prosonce ! The sycophant recovers breath: "Tho frank, open bearing of the Prince at once enlisted my By nipathy. The manner of his friends Impressed me with the Idea that he was more sinned against than sinning. This impression was soon changed to certainty." Forhaps the reader would like to hear what changed this impression to a certainty. Why, the convincing fact that "The door of the room opened. A lady visitor entered ; a tall, handsome womau, of noble appear ance, dresned entirely In black valvet, She went direct to the Prince, whom she Baluted on both cheeks." Then Jenkins saw that Feter was innocent for "that she would kiss a murderer is an impossibility. The Frince is no assassin." The Herald reporters never lack brass, whether they are shinning around to get their hata chalked, or running their dirty faces for a drink. In proof of it, this dis gusting creature expresses his wish that such a fine-looking lady would kiss him. The low bred miscreant! But she didn't do it; and, as nobody said anything to him, Jenkins gazed about the room, and took phonographio notes on his wristband, lie seems to nave sat more as long as he chose. "After a length ened visit I rose to take my leave. The Frinoe took off his glove, crossed the room, shook hands with me more than once, and thanked me for having visited him." Jen kins then intimates that they enjoyed a sea son of confidential communion. "We con versed together apart for a few minutes. What then was said I do not write for obvious reasons." The Frince probably fell on his neck and kissed him, shed a few tears, and assured him that Noir was accidentally shot with his own pistol. He undoubtedly revealed, in a few choioe words, the line of defense to be taken in his behalf, and the policy of the Govern ment after he should be acquitted. How could our own dear Jenkins be so cruel as to decline to report these important secrets? "For obvious reasons!" Oh, yes; that's the way the reticent Jenkins always cuts you off. The final conclusion of this volunteer am bassador of the American press is highly important, and will have the most profound influence in forming public sentiment in this country: "See tiie Trtnce as I saw him yesterday, In private life, placed, as he is now, in a most painful position, and you would cease to believe the stories which have been circulated to his detriment. He may be Impulsive, hot-headed, if you will, but I will stoke my existence that he is a 'good fellow.' " After this, the Frince's acquittal is certain. And what's the use of persecuting him by per sistently going on with the trial t SERMON HUCKSTERS. From the Ji. Y. Tribune. Solomon, looking forward through his pro phetic telescope, once declared that there is nothing new under the sun, from which we infer that the great preacher, while unfolding the secrets of Wisdom, was liable to find a stenographic reporter at his elbow taking down his utterances for the use of some less noted seer in the dominions of the Queen of Sheba or Hiram of Tyre. That, at least, is the new trade epened in F.astern cities by short-hand writers, through which tliey com pel Sunday also to pay itn tithes to their till aad make church-going us profitable as a caucus. Certain agents, who, it is to be presumed, have it ready back-door entrance into the study of many a divine, pay for these verbatim reports delivered each Sunday In New York, Boston, or Philadel phia, and drive a brisk trade in them. The system may have its disadvantages, as no doubt the original speaker airus to strike ut the faults or temptations peculiar to his locality, and the arrow which hits the mark here in, another atrnonpbere falls spent and harmless to the ground. Imagine, for ex ample, the speechless astonishment of our neighbors of I'bilndelphia, on finding them selves censured for their too eager vigor of intellect, in a sermon intended to curb tae r.mr.ant thinkers of the Hub. Or fancy the perturbation and confnsion of the audionue hn a fierce attack of word that cut like scythe meant to he down the monstrous growths of iniquity in Chicago, is reproduced in the startled purity and innocence 01 emmeu New York, an atmosphere in which, as all the world knows, all men become honest and all women virtuous. Probably this custom may explain the increasing comfort and satisfac tion which our church-going population de- I dare lately to have found in their favorite divines. Nothing can equal the sweet repose and complaoency of soul in hearing your neighbor s sins expounded; and we have all doubtless, for the last year or two, settled into easier niches in our pew cushions from tho uloasure of anplvincr the lashes of the sermon to that far-off relation of ours for whom they were meant. Forhflps we may question whether this un derhand and dishonorable expedient ought not to be regarded as a hint of a real want in the religious world, and an indication of tho proper manner of supplying it. The usual demand of two or threo sermons a week, be sides the regular pariah work and visiting re quired of almost all clergymen, is more, to our Becnlor mind, than any ordinary brain ought to be asked to compass. Especially is this the case when the clergyman is young, and with no knowledge of human nature or experience beyond what his sohoolboy train ing in the seminary will furnish. Who has felt no pity, not to say contempt, for the poor neophyte, serving up his crude, flavorless hash of his text-books, Sunday after Sunday, or vague, disjointed plagiarisms from Alexandor, or Mcllvaine, or Wayland? How much more healthy and honest would it be if for a few years he was content to keep silont, to frankly preach the acknowledged sermons of the great masters of the human heart and true servants of their Lord; and to adjourn his own utterances until time and experience had banished the acridity and shallowness of youth, enlarged his creed, sweetened his chanty, and, more than all, taught him some lesson worth re- E eating. For a man can only touch the oart of another man by that which comes from his own. There is another class of men who might profitably use this system; men who are emi nently fitted to preach by practice and exam ple, but who lamentably fail in the pulpit. In fact, great eloquence in words is rarely found united with that peouliar and more valuable power which makes an efficient and useful minister over the parish. The great law-giver Moses protested that he should not be forced to the work of Aaron, who "spoke well." There is no reason that we can see beyond popular prejudice why clergymen who do, like Aaron, speak well, should not consent to give or sell, if need be, their sermons. Strong, helpful words do not so abound in the world that we should grudge them to each other. The field upon which the seed first falls may be obdurate and unyielding, and he who sows it should be the most willing that it should be scattered abroad and tested whether it be pure or worthless. THE SENATORIAL NEQRO FARCE AND HUMBUG. Foom the Savannah (Go.) lltpvb ican. The radical party is a living lie. There is nothing honest or truthful in it. It was conceived, brought forth, and exists and breathes in a moral atmosphere of deception and fraud. It is neither true to the oountry nor to anybody. It knows only power and plunder, and to achieve and retain these it is prepared to discard every moral obligation recognized among men. it Hesitates at no injustice and scruples at no falsehood to accomplish its ends. It misrepresents itself. its motives, and its plans, and perpetuates its reign of tyranny over twelve millions of peo ple wnem it should recognize and treat as brethren of the same blood and political family, by the grossest aspersions and libels upon their conduct. They could not maintain themselves before even a perverted public judgment, and exouse their outrages and wrongs, except by making their victims appear what they know them not to be. We need no further illustration of this fact than the present system of misrepresen tation and downright lying that has been regularly organized and conducted by subsi dized agents throughout the South. They send forth men commissioned to bear false witness against their neighbor, and office holders throughout the South are pressed into their wicked service, and on the penalty of decapitation forced to testify to what they know to be false and espouse a cause which iu their hearts they despise. Ninety-nine hundredths ot them being educated in the school of easy virtue where the Northern mind receives its principles and its training, yield a prompt, if reluctant, acquiescence to the iniquitous demand. It is in this way that the most arbitrary, oppressive, and corrupt fac tion that the worm has known in any age prolongs its foul domination over the Ameri can people. But the wrongs of the radical party toward white men, their own race, are as nothing in point of flugrancy when compared with the bVBtemalic, cold-blooded, and devilish con spiracy which they hove organized against the poor ignorant blacks. Here they have weak and yielding material and they delight to operate on it. Under the false pretext of giving the Southern slave his freedom and accomplishing a work of humanity, they de liberatoly set on foot a plan first to use the unsuspecting race ior tneir own benent so long as it exists, and, secondly, to hasten with all possible speed the day of its cxtinc tion. ihey needed the negro vote to keep themselves in power, for their excesses and villainies had shocked all civilized mankind and doomod them to early obncurity; and they need the Southern soil, tilled by the negro, for their own surplus ana dangerous population: hence the double purposo of tho heartless and iniquitous plot. The flrnt steo in their game was to incite jealoiuy, distrust, ill-will and a war of races in the South, and no stone was left unturned in order to effect this object If one-fourth of the white men, women and cuuuren 01 me nontu imve not imeu massa cred in cold blood, and tho entire African race cut down in retaliation, it has been owing solely to the good sense of the latter and their couHciou.-i inadenuacy to such struggle. The damnable plot failed, not only in its intended scene of horror, but in a great measure in the political gains of the conspiracy Even the poor negro, ignorant and unsnsnectint as he is, has seen through tho thin veil that conceals the real object of his new-found friends He sees trickery, selfishness, and the most hearties indifference to his real welfare lurking beneath all their professions of interest and friendship, and day by day his eves are opening to Li danger and the only mode of escape. The race are growing wisor, and, we trust, in time to save them from a wretched fate. The last act in this drama of duplicity and fraud finds its theutre on tho floor of the United States Senate. Through the agency of a fraudulent election conducted under the direction of Federal bayonets, two individuals were sent to that body as the representatives of the State of Mississippi. One of them is the man who held those bayonets in his own hands, and boastingly proclaimed before the election that they should triumph at whatever cost. He is, too, an alien to the people of that State, and in no w ise identified with them. The other is an Ohio negro, who, driven from his former home in the West for his offenses against common honesty and law, drifted down the Mississippi and lodgod a wanderer on its eoKtera bank. With a defective education and the intelligence common to his rao, this son of Ham finds his way to the Capitol, and is worn in as a Sonator of the United States, and, as announced in order to give full effect to the sensation, as the successor of Jefferson Davis. No Sonator wanted him there, and but for the fact that in their shallow esti mation his presence involved a humiliation of the South, he never would have beon allowed to take his seat. But, once there, they must mnke the most of him at loast somebody, in order to blunt the national sense of indigna tion and shamo for tho abhorrent spectacle. It is resolved that he shall nuke a Hpooah, and, unwi'liugto trust him to speak for him self, for it would have spoiled the whole gamo and developed the flagrant insult involved in his prcsonce there to the whole American people, one is writton and carefully prepared for turn to road os his own. ihe Ueoreia bill was under discussion, and that must be the theme. Bullock, it is said, and no doubt truly, furnished the facts, and Sumner and others supplied the literary clothing. The event is noised aoroaa Deiorenanu, the day finally arrives, and Revels reads, or rather mouths, the piece prepared lor him. Its facts are all falsehoods, 'tis true, but a more logical, ingenious, and rhetorioal production has not emanated irom mat side ot the se nate during the present session. The truth s the authors did up their work too well. It is impossible for the commonest mind not to discover the shameless fraud and imposi tion. Revels takes his seat, and the farce is closed by that crippled monument of human debauchery, Sonator Morton, who lies to his own soul by declaring that m the substitu tion of a negro for Jefferson Davis, "the Senate had lost nothing in intelligence, and gained much in loyalty and patriotism." No doubt the miserable creature feels at heart that Revels is at least his peer in all that is respectable and honest and decent. But enough of these sickening details. When, oh when ! will the American people drive from power and visit with a merited punishment the unprincipled, graceless, abaadoned, God-defying usurpers who, day by day, are bringing contempt upon the coun try, uprooting all that is good and virtuous in the land, ana xorging chains tor them selves and their children 'I SWORD AND BAYONET. From the retrmburij (I'a.) Courier. The sword has lost its sheath and the bayonet is permanently fixed. They, now and henceforth, are the law, and they the majority. We may as well comprehend this at once and to its tu.l extent: for twill "I-'ra nwnv a blunder free us, An' foolish notion." We have been restored to tho Union, it is true; but a reconstructed State to a recon structed Union. In both State and Union the citizen has been dethroned and the reigning sovereign is the soldier ! From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from tho Gulf of Mexico to the northern lakes, Constitution and codes are under the foot of force. The United States have actually ceased to exist, except in name, and we are now partitioned into so many garrisoned military departments, wherein law is silent under "general orders," wherein the Sheriff and his vosxe conatatua yield be fore the corporal and his squad, wherein the Governor succumbs to the ueneral command ing, and where, over all, the President is merged, sunken and forgotten in the Com mander-in-Uhiei of the army. This is so now, notwithstanding the war is over and the Union saved; it is so now, notwithstanding Virginia is readmitted to representation in Congress, and in the very face of General Canby a pre tended abdication in favor of Governor Walker. Nor is it only so here and through out the South, but is so North, as much so in Massachusetts as in South Carolina or Texas, The melancholy truth is that an arbiter has been called in that is devouring both sides. North and Mouth alike appealed to the sword, and now the mutual penalty has fallen to perish by it. (Joid steel ana villainous saltpetre are sometimes good servants, but they are always bad masters. This was well understood by our forefa' ers, who, for themselves and us, their posterity, took every human precaution to place and keep the military power in subjec tion to the civil, Hut our folly surpassed their wisdom, 'ihe liberty and independence they bequeathed us have been lost. Yet even fools can feel, and experience may teach them something. Although an impartiul es timate fixes the proportion of fools in the United States at ninety-nine out of every hundred inhabitants, still these abounding nincompoops, in course of time, may learn to regret the good old ways and tire of the peremptory interference of sword and bayonet. They may like to hear again their last "popular voice." They may grow im patient and indignant at the impudence with which the odd man of the hundred has his way against them on a matter of common right by an appeal to "headquarters' or to Washington. Even they of Massachusetts may Lave their withers wrung by a system of national government which, in efl'ect, ties every citizen hand and foot and puts an armed soldier in every house. Yes, it will not be long ere all men from oue end to the other of the country understand that there is no quostion, no matter how local soever, nor how small soever whether affecting States, cities, or individuals, aud whether relating to life, liberty, or property into the settles ot which the sword caunoc and will not be thrown. Tho blindest ass will see that every United States Jaw bristles with bayonets, that everv Lmtcd States oul cial wears a sword, and that tho wholo laud is subjuoated to tho most crindiua kind of mill tary despotism. But what of that? The people of France and Russia see that they are slaves, and remain so. The people ol Atuo rica. let us hone, havincr bet ter opportunities to recover their freedom, will recover it, and know how to secure it. Meanwhile, we of Virginia must not deceive ourselves as to the facts of the situation. u must be guided by what is and not by what oueht to be. Let us ba as wise as serpents, if we can, but as harmless as doves, avoiding all collisions and troubles that wiirinevitably result ia bayonets. Discretion is the better part of valor just now; and if we patiently bide our tim. it will ba Bure to come and bring round its revenges. SFAIN NO LONGER GOVERNS IN CUBA From ths JV. Y. Sun. The reel dominion of Spain in Cuba ceased on the day that Captain-General Dulce was eipelled by the volunteers of Havana. Ever sines thftt date tba island has been managed militarily, politically, and socially by armed ruffians called volunteers, and their payinaa ters. the Snanish slave-traders of the island But Spain that is, the Madrid Regency has reallv no more to do with any matter occur ring within the limits of the island than has the King of Timbuctoo. Proofs of these facte, though scarcely re quired, are abundant. The Spaniard of Havana sent for some 40,000 men, raised from the scum of Spain by their scent in Cadiz, and paid their bounties out of their own pockets. They armod and eqnippo J the various so-called volunteer troop that have ueen enrouca in the cities or Cuba. Hut it is distinctly understood that in return the troops are to do the bidding of their master, not tuat n mo Unptain-General aud bis sub ordinates. Thev are to fluht to nrosorve Cuban estates, and principally Cuban slaves, to uieir owners, the question or rumin a supremacy being entirely a secondary con sideration. And this is tho anarohy whiob. Mr. Fish's administration has laborod not a little to support ! Had our Executive been endowed with a vory moderate share of intel ligence, he would have learned lohg ago to discriminate between a Government with which we have treaties of alliance and a rabble utterly uncontrollable and utterly irre- sponsioie. ihe last proof that Spain has lost Cuba is afforded by the exit of Mr. Phillips from Santiago. At a meeting of the Catalan vol unteers held in that city on the 6th inst., it was determined to assassinate him. In com pany with the British Consul he waited on the Governor, who confessed himself unable to afford any protection, and as a friend ad vised Mr. Phillips to leave Santiago instantly, or ne couia not answer lor what might hap pen. Mr. Phillips was escorted by the British Consul, with the British ensign waving over them, through the streets of Santiago, and on board the French steamer Darien. For this atrocious national insult who is responsible? Santiago is supposed by our Government to be a port in a Spanish colony, to which for commercial purposes a United States Consul is accredited. Spain at this moment is also supposed to command some 50,000 men in Cuba, and to have in Cuban waters a navy composed of not less than seventy vessels, to maintain her control of the island. And now it turns out that in one of the principal seaports of the Island Spain is ouugea to confess that she is impotent to prevent a flagrant outrage and assassination ! ine responsibility for this insult Bhould attach where it naturally belongs, to Mr. Fish, who, if fitted for his position, should have known that Spanish rule in Cuba ceased long since 10 oe anything but an empty word. HOW LONG WILL CONGRESS TRIFLE WITH THE PEOPLE? From ths A'. T. Time. Nearly five months of the Congressional session have passed away, and still the one great political necessity of the hour is put asiae as n it were or no interest to any human being on the continent. The burden of taxation is not reduced, and it seems to be thought that the people will be satisfied with the vague promises of relief which lave been made from time to time. We have proved past all cavil that the present rate of taxation is immoderately high, and could be reduced with perfect Bafety to the country. The advocates of absurd theories about the national debt have either bmn compelled to keep silence, or forced to admit that the demand for a reduotion of taxation is too loud and general to be re, sisted any longer. Our contemporaries in all parts of the country, with a heartiness and unanimity seldom displayed on any occa sion, have joined with us in requiring of Congress immediate attention to this most important subject. Congress admits the justice of the appeal, but folds its arms in apathy, and wastes week after week in dm cushions on personal affairs, or on the pettiest questions which the ingenuity of triflers could possibly suggest. We can scarcely suppose that any member of the Administratiou or of Congress can be so infatuated as to dream that the question of reducing the taxes will die out if left to itself. An idea of that kind could only be entertained by some one who was utterly un able to deteot the drift of publio sentiment, or to appreciate the practical hardships which the present taxes inflict on every man of moderate means each day of his life. This is not one of those subjects which can be quietly shelved or forgotten. It is pressed upon our attention constantly, and in a thousand du ferent forms. The poor are pinched by the taxes almost beyond tho limits of endurance, nard- working men and women find them selves deprived of many small neoessaries of life by the levies which are made upon them, in one way and another, by the tax gatherer. Almost everything they buy is dearer than it need be. Their children are made to suffer in order to gratify the delusion of doctrinaires that unless we pay off the national debt now, we shall never pay it off at all. The people are willing they always have been willing to assist the Government in its extremity. But is it not monstrous to tax a whole nation heavily for the sake of carrying out a blundering system of finance? Hove we not made enormous sacrifices for posterity for years past ? Is it too much to ask that the crushing load of taxation should now be very materially lesfened? The President is understood to have been convinced by the evidence brought before him that the people earnestly, im peratively desire relief from what almost amounts to financial oppression. Congress, it is true, rarely finds time to attend to the real wants of the public. It will waste any day in discussing polygamy, or the "case" of this generul or tho other, but as to apply ing itself to practical and useful work, it does not do it once a week. It seems to think that the voice of the people is not a thing worth paying any attention to in these duys. The procrastination to which this great subject is being sacrificed will imperil the very existence of the Republican party, if the leaders are not very careful. We believe we shall go before the country under very unpro mising circumstances if we caunot sucoeed in getting the taxes reduced bofore the next elections. The people will not always sub mit to be "put oil" like children. They will have relief from taxation, if not from one party, from another. Four months have been frittered awny already. I not this enough to Kbtisfy the greatest admirers of a Fabian policy ? We can only once more warn Con gi ess that further delays may exasperate the peoile in a way which no one need be anxious to witness. Shall we have to re coid the lapse of another week without a single htep being taken towards a settlement ot this question? THE RING SMASHED. From the X. T. World. We congratulate the Democrats of New York city, and of the Union, that the ring of Swteny, Tweed, and company, as a power ia .the Democratic party, are utterly destroyed; thut this metropolis is soon to be forever de livered from the burden and disgraoe of their corruptions; that the party is already rescued from their ambitious domination or the repute of their alliance; and that the path la cleared for Democratic triumphs in the oity and State this full in the Union in 1872. . The ring millstone which we have rejected has indeed become the corner-stone of one noity day's Republican triumph at Albany; for a little longer double-headed ring and radical commissions and ring oflloe-holders may administer the mlgovernment of this municipality; but now at last the Young Democracy, the reform Democracy, are de livered from the last and worst of all the perils which environed them the danqor of accepting less than a complete reform for the sake of an immediate triumph; the peril of patching up the city charter rather than re building it upon the foundation of self-gov- eminent, stably and systematically; the risk or compromises with tbe ring which now, tbnnk God, are impossible. The ring men have gone to their own place to an open alliance with Republicans, it was their last desperate clutch at the remnants of power. It is a proclamation to all men that they have abandoned the cloak of Democracy because the Democrats of New York have repudiated and abandoned them. The Young Deraocraoy are consolidated and inspirited as nothing but treachery and a repulse could have united and inspired them. Every leader and every man in their ranks is now up to the WorUVt standard from the beginning War to the knife, and the knife to the him, INSURANCE. DELAWARE MUTUAL BAFETY INSURANCE COM PANT.
