THE IRISH POLITICAL ITvISONEllS.
From the London Spectator.
The letter of O'Donovan Kosna. published
in tho Margcillaisr, oud the partiul refutation
of it which has been oluoially communicated
by the Home Secretary to the English news
papers, ought to bring homo to oil EnjjlUh
weii, and especially to the Liberal party in
England, the misorable and reckless folly of
our present law. It is probably the dofeut of
our national temperament the defect which
of all others most disqualifies us for henrty
sympathy with our Irish fellow-subjects that
we are rather obtuse and stolid about matters
' of feeling, that we of ton fail to enter heartily
into the most obviouB distinctions botweou
one class of actions and another, that wo con
found, for instance, hostility to the law due
to one motive with hostility to tho law due to
quite other wotiyeb, and not only treat both
as crimes which is absolutely essential
but treat both as crimus of the
same kind, nnd as compelling us
to treat the criminals in the same manner.
Now, no one who has done us the honor of
roading our articles on the state of Ireland
during tho lost few months will imagine that
we are amongot those who can be snpposod
for a moment to sanction any disposition to
triilo with the principle of authority. We
called upon tho Government to refuse the
pardon of the Fenian convicts demanded,
as it was, in a spirit of violent and even inso
lent menace as an absolute right long before
the refusal actually came. We hnve not
scrupled to ad iso that even stern measures
for tne regression of outrage, when none
others seemed effectual, should accompany
tie great remedial meafures which Parlia
ment has taken in hand. We are entirely
clear, then, of any charge of advising or
approving administrative weakness in the
Irish Government, liut we feel none the loss
strongly, perhaps even tho more strongly on
that account, that there is absolutely fr.tal ob
tusenessin the policy of confounding, or ap
pearing to Ireland to confound, the character
of political crimes, such as those of which
the Fenisns have been guilty, with the ordi
nary moral crimes for which sentences of
penal servitude are quite rightly inflicted.
Nor do we say this wilh the least intention
of weakening on tho contrary, with tho hope
of greatly strengthening tho promptitude
and courage of the Executive in the repres
sion of political outbreaks and the restraint
of political offenders. If O'Donovan Kossa had
been treated from the first as a political
prisoner is to be treated by the now North
German Code, we should not have scrupled
to defend the Government hud he even been
shot dead in any attempt to resist the orders
of his warders or to escape from hu prison.
If every political prisoner were at once mado
aware that from the moment of his convic
tion he was to bo treated absolutely
without moral indignity, but with all
the restraints usually deemed necessary
for prisoners of war or midemcanants
of the first class, and that any
attempt to brenk through these restraints
would be punished with military rigor, tho
Irish political convicts would not only be
quite as safe as they now are, but there would
have been nothing liko the same inducements
to the Government to find excuses of a some
what slender character for remitting their
punishment, or to evade tho prosecution and
conviction of new offenders. It is the
reflected consciousness which, in soma dim
form, the Irish indignation at their treatment
excites in English politicians' breasts, that
there is a real injustice in this system of not
simply restraining and punishing, but de
grading rash and miuchiovous patriots, that
so often holds our hands from taking ade
quate measures to assort the authority of tho
law. "What, indeed, can be more inconsist
ent and absurd than the blindness of English
liberals to the great and very just and senti
mental grievance which this mode of deal
ing with political offenders inflicts on tho
Irish nation? Here we are all of us ad
mitting openly that a certain amount of at
least passive sympathy with Fonianism
pervades the whola popular spirit of
Ireland, and finding historical excuses
only too good for that indisputable
fact, and yet allowing it to be published day
by day to the Irish nation that the punish
ment which we inflict on the more violent
and active form of the very same feeling is
the punishment not of a lirm but generous
enemy, but rather that of the moral contempt
and reprobation which we affix to mean crimes
and sordid motives. We assert that nothing
could be better calculated to keep alivo the
flame of hatred in the Irish pooplo than a
policy which brands tho rebellious spirit of
Ireland just as it brands the conduct of the
murderer, the swindler, and the thief. Cau
anything be better calculated to stimulate
the popular confusion between agrarian assas
sinations and patriotic insurrections than the
mere fact that we treat the treason of the
Fenian and the murder of the assassin as if
they belonged to tho same order of crime?
We confess that to us it seems a moral
scandal of the worst kind that the
politioal prisoners should not be
treated with all tho outward respect
though with all the needful rigor and
severity of open enemies. From all
we can gather, wo feel exceedingly littlo per
sonal sympathy with O'Donovan Itossa, be
cause we can hardly avoid the conviction that
he has written the letter published in the
Marseillaixe without any of that regard to
strict veracity which is essential to tht honor
of a gentleman, lint who can imagine for a
moment that the Irish pooplo who put him
forward as a symbol for their wishes and
hopes in the . Tipperary election, will accept
the English Minister's version of the facts of
the case in preference to his? Of oourse they
will not, and of course every man - with a
touch of disgust for English -rule in his
breast, and a touch of admiration for the
Quixotic courage of tho Fenian insurrection
and how many of the true. Irish peonla are
there without Mich a touch of feeling? will
resuui, us l ii no u jidiihiuhi lUHUlt, IMS
story of degradations such as thoy deem tha
fitting penalties only of dishonorable crime.
"These English " they will say, "talk of
justice to Ireland, but they have not
trot in their breasts tho requisite
moral conditions of iuutios to Ireland. They
cannot enter into the most elementary feel
ings of Irishmen. They cannot trout us even
as brave enemies. They dishonor us all in
dishonoring the men who, whatever their
rashness and their folly, have at least cared
so much more for a patriotic dream than for
personal safety and happiness, that they have
risaea iiie auu lost aoeriy ior mat uream.
Of necessary severity we should not complain.
Those who foment insurrection know the
cost, and must pay it. But of needless indig
nity we do complain. These men are nobler
than many of us, for they acted on the im
l ultc-8 which we bad either too much pru
dence or too little courage to act upon. And
in casting insults on them you render us im
placable. How can we be reconciled to a gov
ernment which offers us justice with one
hand and casts insult upon us with the other?"
We confess that the more we consider the
matter the more we feel the absolute need of
recognizing frankly this tremendous senti
mental grievance, and of strengthening
rather than weakening the law Against insur
rection, by treating political offenses found
to have been committed without any dis
honorable motive as the North Gorman Diot
is prepared to treat them as a distinct class
of offenses worthy, indeed, of severe repres
sion and punishment, but wholly distinct
from ordinary crimes, and therefore not en
tailing any social indignity. Mr. Disraeli's
fanciful and almost absurd protest, on the
first night of the session, against setting apart
any prison in the United Kingdom as a poli
tical prison, is nothing to the point. We im
prison already many misdemeanants without
inflicting on them any marks of infamy. All
the persons committed for trial but not yet
tried aie imprisoned under similar conditions.
What possible need of a new class of prisons
if, indeed, it be so objectionable to con
fess to the need of it when we feel the
need of it if a new class of prisoners will
do? What we do want is to classify in a class
apart an unfortunately very old species of
offenses, but to treat thorn in a new spirit;
and in this to learn a lesson from the North
German Diet. It is not too soon it is only
unfortunately very much too late to confess
that we stand with relation to Irish republi
cans too much in the same position in which
Germany stands towards German republicans
or Folish conspirators; and it would not be
inopportune, it would bo in the highest de
gree opportune, to make this confession, at
the very time when we aro trying hard to root
out the cantos of a state of feeling that must,
by the veiy necessity of tho case, long out
lust the traditions and habits of injustice of
which it was born. We may fairly say that
Imperial necessities forbid even the conside
ration of separation between Great Britain
and Ireland. But the woie we insist on this,
the more obviously we are bound to overcome
that insular obtuseness of feoling which is
the only excuse for treating political offenses
with indignities that no sensitive race will
willingly forgive or easily forgot.
C0MM0D0HE VANDEllBILT'S LETTER.
From the A". Y. World.
The best free-trade document lately pub
lished is tho letter of Commodore Vander
bilt to President Felton, donying his signa
ture to the petition of Pennsylvania railroad
men for an increase of tho duty on steel
rails.
A clearer head to discern his interest, or
tho interest of i.ny corporation uuder his con
trol, than that which tho Commodore carries
upon his shoulders is not now extant; and
one of the sharpest points in his letter is that
in which he shows, with perfect courtesy,
that in their petition the Pennsylvania rail
road men may havo been faithful to any
interest of theirs in Pennsylvania steel-works,
but pro tanto went agriinst the interest of
all layers of steel rails and all riders over
them, and all who send or use freight carried
over them.
The argument of tho Ponnsylvanians is
that home competition is the only defense
from foreign extortion. The Commodore,
with his wido and long experience of men
and their ways, replies that he has not found
extortion an exclusive characteristic of the
British or Prussian stoel-rail seller. He has
met persons capable of extortion on this sido
tho Atlantic; and what if it should turn out
that domestic extortionists happened to own
domestic steel-rail works ? Competition, in
deed, the Commodore believes in as the true
defense against extortion, but, since extor
tion is to be guarded against wherever men
have the power to extort, tho widest competi
tion is tho best defense against anybody's ex
tortion at home or abroad. Monopoly of steel
rail selling here might be got by higher du
ties; but that, if preventing foreign extortion,
would guarantee Pennsylvania extortion.
Free trade in steel rails would prevent foreign
extortion because of home competitors, and
home extortion because of foreign compe
titors.
This is the reasoning underlying Commo
dore Yanderbilt's letter, which is expressed
with tho terseness of a man who knows ex
actly where his interest lies and can't be hum
bugged by any plausible gammon of "protec
tion; and it carries tne weignt ot tne three
railroad corporations which first used steel
rails, and which have used one-fifth of all
laid down and one-third of all imported.
It is exactly in the protectionist vein, now
that the Bessemer steel process has become
tree to all tne worm ana lowered tne prioe
everywhere of stoel-rail making, to petition
Congress to cheat 40,000,000 people out of
that benefit by a duty for the benefit of forty
steel-rail makers. We propose Commodore
v anderbilt for the next President of the tree
Trado League.
USING THE ARMY TO STOP GOLD-
MINING.
From the K. Y. Sun.
Among American gold-miners, from Frazer
river to ban Diego, tnere is a llxed belief
that the portion of the continent richest in
gold, and most accessible to tne pick, the pan,
and the arastra, is the Wind river mountains.
They have been prospected; and some of the
adventurous men who took their lives there
with their outfits survived the peril, came out
with their hair, and at innumerable camp-fires
have told tho tale which has kindled a fever
of desire and of curiosity wherever in the
United States the color of cold is seen. These
mountains llnnk a portion of the hunting-
grounds of the bioux and Choyennes. They
contain no came on which the Indians sub
sist. . Thoy are merely tho park walls of theso
red gentlemen's hunting-parks. Some whito
men in Wyoming, being poor but industrious,
propose to got to tho top of these walls and
pick for gold, .brevet iUaior-ueneral (J. O,
Augur says they shan't do it. Ho has written
to Governor Campbell, of Wyoming Terri
tonr, that he has received orders "to inform
tho parties concerned that tho Government
will not permit its treaty obligations with tho
Indians to be violated, and to advise them to
abandon their purpose, and in any event to
see that this expedition does not go."
A treaty between tha people of the Unitod
States and a tribe of Plain Indians which
gives to tho latter the right to exclude Ameri
can citizens from tho gold in the Rocky
Mountains cannot, in tne naturo 01 tninas,
have any sanction among a mining popula
tion. The reasonableness of a treaty with
buffalo-eating Indians, fencing in for their
exclusive occupation by meridians of longi
tude and parallels of latitude a portion of
the butt'ulo range, would be understood by all
men, and the treaty would bo observed by
most. But the "treaty obligations" which
General Augur speaks of would seem to inui
cato a compact by our Government with a
band of savages that the gold and silver in
the Wind River mountains shall not be taken
out for the commerce of the world. It is a
compact that a considerable section of the
Unitod Stales fhall remain unexplored and
unknown to its Government and its people.
It is a compact that tho Wind River chain
shall exist as an obstruction to American
travel and commerce. For what is this com
pact made?
It is made to enable a tribe of Indians to
keep a preserve of wild game nnscarod by
white men. It is made to enable tho male's
of a race which abhors agriculture, and would
sooner atarvo than plough and hoe, to gorgo
on buffalo-hump and elk-rib; to sleep, to
dance, to paint their faces; to flutter tho
scalps of white women and men taken on the
emigrant trails; to brag of tho horses thoy
Lave stolen, and the enemies they have stir
prised in sleep, or slain in unequal battlo; to
overwork and beat their women; and again to
gorge, and again to sleep.
Tho common law makes contracts void for
repugnance. Bear in mind that the Sioux
and Cheyennes aro Plain Indians, as distin
guished from Thickwood Indians. They
never walk. They always rida. They never
climb a mountain save to look off upon a
plain for game or for a foe. In winter only
they ennip among the foot-hills for shelter
from tho winds. Their lives are passed on
grass. They live on the flanks of the
columns of buffaloes in their ranges from
tho Arkansas to the Saskatchewan. Grant
ing for a moment that they have a right to
live this life against the right of civilization
to permanently occupy tho soil, are tho Wind
River mountains essential to that mode of
life? Eight hundred miners in Cheyenne
say they are not essential, and they are
going to march for those mountains with
mining outfits and seven hundred and fifty
rounds of ammunition per man. They do
not mean to interfere with the Indians' hunt
ing parks, but only to look for gold in the
mountains, where the Indians do not go. It
would not surprise us to see General Grant
make tho mistake of using soldiers to stop
theso people. If it were possible to teach
him political truth, wo would say to him that
that mistake belongs to tnose wnicli defeat
political aspirations and kill candidates in
nominating conventions. Let the Govern
ment keep the engagements of its treaties;
let it protect the hunting grounds of tho
Indians; but lot the gold and silver of the
mountain? bo got out.
THE FUTURE.
From the St. Louis Democrat.
The adoption of the fifteenth amendment
has now been formally proclaimed. Texas,
the last of the rebellious States, has completed
organization upon a loyal basis, and gained
admission. Actual disorder in Georgia, with
the efforts of factionists to mako the nio3t of
that disorder, keep that State still unrepre
sented, but we may now hope that Sena
tors and Representatives will realize the folly
of pretending to fear some denial of tho
rights secured to the colored people. With
tho adoption of the fifteenth amendment it
becomes forever impossible to deny, and sui
cidal for any pariy to resist, their claim to tho
right of suffrage, and with the establishment
of that right, and of the loyal governments
in all the States, based upon impar
tial suffrage, tho General Government has
discharged its duty, and provided in the long
run the best possi ble security for the protec
tion of the colored citizens as such, i rom
this time forward, whatever it may do to pre
vent disorder in any quarter must bo done
not for the negro but for tho citizen, irre
spective of color. Yt hatever measures may
be needed to restore or preserve civil order
ought to be not measures of reconstruction,
for legitimate reconstruction is ended,
but measures for tho enforcement of
the law. These great questions, there
fore, negro suffrage and reconstruction,
which have engrossed so much of pub
lio attention, are now Bottled, endod,
and forever put beyond tho range of intelli
gent discussion or legitimate political action.
Tho Reconstruction Committee in Congress
ought to be instantly disbanded. Its proper
work is done. It has no more business to
exist than the Anti-Slavery Society. If there
are any legislators who have been thinking
about reconstruction and the negro question
so long and so intently that they are incapa
ble of thinking of anything else, they ought
to bo called back from completed labors by a
grateful people to the repose of private life.
In this world tho man who can do only yester
day's work is of no use to anybody.
hat is tho work of to-day ? It is to wipo
out the political disabilities imposed for the
safety of tho country during the period of re
construction and enfranchisement. Until the
negro had been empowered to protect himself
by the ballot; until the southern btates had
been restored with governments based upon
impartial sutlrage, these disquaiiucations
were deemed necessary. It was hold that
certain of those who had participated in re
bellion should have no voice iu settling tho
terms of peaco, or the questions raised by
the war. That reasoning is now out of dato.
Those questions aro forever settled. Dis
franchisement is no longer a measure of
safety; it is simply an irritant and a cause of
trouble and danger. The perfect peace which
all good citizens desire, and w hich only noxi
ous demagogues seek to delay, may now be
hastened by tho removal of all disabilities
from those who participated in tho rebellion.
We trubt that the President may speedily
recommend such a measure, and that its sup
porters, tho Republicans in Congress, will bo
prompt to propose and to pass it. Take a
lesson, gentlemen, from the radicals of Mis
souri! They do not wuit to give Demoorats
a chance to overpower thorn or divide them
on this issuo, but resolve to tuke the matter
into their own hands, and to put through, as
a radical measure, tho repeal of tho disquali
fications which were imposed, justly when
they were necessary, by radical votes. Let
the Republican party, also, carry out to the
letter the resolution in tho Chicago platform,
offered by Senator Schnrz, and complete the
glorious work of restoring tho nation to peace
ful self-government on tho basis of equal
rights for all.
DISTINCTION AND DIFFERENCE.
From the N. T. Timen.
Nothing is more natural than that the
World, hotly committed as it is to one side,
bhould deprecate anything like a judicial ex
amination of tho quarrel between Tammany
and tho "Young Democracy." If it oould be
t-hown that cither party to tho controversy
was obsolutoly and entirely in the right, we
could sympathize with tho World' condom-
nation of cither dissidenee or lukewarmness.
This main issue, however, is bo far from
being settled, that intelligent observers who
belong to neither of tho contending factions
must almost necessarily adopt a tentative
altitude. We observed on Sunday, in sub
stance, that the leaders of tho "Young
Democracy" were clever men, and that the
leaders of Tammany were very hard to beat,
The World objects to this conjuncture, and
evidently thinks wo wcro bound in uttering
one compliment to suppress the other. Wa
fail to Rbe the propriety of this, not only be
cause both statements seem to us to be truo,
but because the suppression of the tribute to
either combatant would really bo unfair to
the other. None did more discredit to the
military abilities of General Grant than the
crit ics who discouraged those of Genoral Leo.
Besides this the World should have too much
Fngacity to forget that it is in a position vory
much like that of the bird which befoul 4 its
own nest. For years it has defended, ap
plauded, and associated itself with the inte
rests of those whom it now so vehemently
assails. The gentlemen of the "Ring" were
angels of light yesterday in the same eyes to
which they are incarnate fiends to-dny.
Our contemporary should blame neither
the public nor ourselves for taking
with its present furious declarations
tho same salt with which we seasoned its for
mer strikingly opposite ones. Matters of
detail, as regards the new charter, or any
thing else, we may approve or oppose on
their merits without reference to the particu
lar wing of the Democracy that advocates
them; but we are not yet prepared to recog
nize those nice distinctions in moral charao
ter or devotion to the public weal as between
tho "ring" and tho "young Democracy,"
whereof the World is so'late a discoverer and
so fervent an enuneiator. We cannot pre
tend to say what may be in store for us hero
after, but have a right to affirm that our
present experience does not warrant the
delicate discrimination that to our neighbor
appears so public spirited and legitimate.
BROTHERLY LOVE.
From the H. Y. Tribune.
A goodly and pleasant city U that of Bro
therly Love. An excellent place to live iu.
the absence of superfluous enterprise would
make it the most comfortable of towns to
die in. It is an elderly city, with the musti
ness and rust and flavor of old-time inde
pendence, yet retaining all the verdure of
its Quaker tradition ot "a greene countrie
towne." Travellers speak of its brick gen
tility and cobbled respectability; and its col
leges, hospitals, nnd asylnms are known
beyond the State of Pennsylvania. People
wonaer mac the puuno life of such a niulti- '
tudinous, rectangular city should be, we will J
not say stupid, but dull. Why is it that
independence Hall is so far in tho roar of
t oneun Hall ? A city boasting the cracked
bell which rang out "liberty to the land and
to the inhabitants thereof," ought to be, in
this day of the fifteenth amendment, the
very headquarters of ideas.
lust here, however, is the difficultv. Phila
delphia and we say it with a subdued vene
ration is not, not to put too fine a point on
it, a city of ideas. Never was so extensive a
collection of admirable homes, of charming
middle-class intelligence, of neat aristocracy,
of honest artisans, with so poor and dull a
public life. Honest Mr. Pumblechook sits in
her chair of state and presides at her dinners.
No men so genial at a repast as her Citv
Fathers. Her great mon ubout town nra par
ticularly fond of terrapin. Her speakers are
post-prandial: her journalists well, her iour-
naliats nre a noble band of brethren,
who " wonder in their hearts what
it is that keeps this goodliest
of cities from being tho truo Athens of Ame
rica, the home of painters, sculptors, book
writers, poets, and leaders of all kinds. De
licacy forbids that we should answer so ab
struse a question. Can we forget, however,
that Philadelphia was the home of Brockden
Brown? of suoh painters as Sully and
Neagle? of such lawyers as Binney and
Sergeant? Does not Hamilton still point for
it sunrise and sunset? Is not Carey its phi
losopher and Boker its bard? Is it" not the
city of the Union League? All the more
shame for it, then, since it also boasts an
Academy of Music, which is at discord with
the ideas of the nineteenth century, and
which teaches that the musio of the Union
still needs the clang of chains to give effect
to its orchestra.
Tho Directors of the Philadelphia Academv
of Musio will spare us any further trouble of
illustrating how the public life of that noble
city is stupid. Will it bo behoved that in this
year of grace the twelve gentlemen having
charge of that favorite institution of the city
of benevolence, independence, religion, the
Union League, and Brotherly Love, refused
to allow a Senator of the United States to
lecture there because ho is black? The very
Capitol might be accorded him, but not this
academy. The nation's Senators might hear
him, but not the conscript stockholders of
Philadelphia. Doors that have opened to the
admirers of the nude ballet and the obscene
opera boufl'e have been shut against Senator
Revels. Another academy of Philadel
phia gave from its professors a Unitod
States Minister to Hayti; but this academy
turns away a Senator from Mississippi. All
that these Republican (not Democratic)
directors care to say for themselves is that to
do otherwise would be "inexpedient." Thus
is the fifteenth amendment celebrated in tha
city of independence, among the men who
urged to the war the heroes of Olustee and
Wagner, and in the community which sent
Ebenezer Bassett to Hayti. Will somebody
have the goodness to pinch its Rip Van Win
kles ? Are we quite sure now that a negro
can ride in a Philadelphia car ? Who knows
but that, one of theso fine days, a wandering
colored man may be suddenly arrested and
sent South by some venerable Philadelphian
who has forgotten all about the proclamation
of freedom? Who can tell? The thin-minded
people w ho gave their verdict against Senator
Revels, and then sank back to inanity, really
forgot the fifteenth amend Dent, or, if they
knew it, they forgot themselves. In no large
sense have they managed to exclude Mr.
Revels, for their act has given him a broader
stage and a greater audience; but they have
shut out themselves effectually from the re
spect of men of common sense. Here are
the names of them!
