THE COLORED RACE IN POLITICS.
From the If. l Time.
The affair of the young colored cadets at
"Weht Point is important, because it shows a
want of judgment ia the leaders of the
colored race. There is, as we all know, ex
isting through great numbers of persons in
this country a profound prejudice against the
negroes, and a belief that they have neither
character nor talent sufficient for the new
political position conferred on them through
the agency of the Republican party. It need
not be said that the Times has always main
tained that the blacks in this country have
abilities enough to perform their political da
ties quite as intelligently as great masses of
our white voters, and that education and a
free field will in time call out men from
among them of very considerable powers.
Furthermore, we, in common with thousands
at the North, have admired the self-control
and obedience to law, and the absence of re
vengeful feelings among' this race, when at
taining to a political equality with their for
mer masters.
So far as wo have been able to judge, the
colored men who have generally been pat
forward in political life were men of good
eense and character, and in the national
offices men of decided talent. The only ex
ception which has been marked was in re
gard to some of the colored delegates in the
South Carolina Assembly. But even the
ignorance of these latter may have been
exaggerated, and in a State where so few
whites are in amicable relations with
the blacks, and they themselves have
been so depressed, it was not natural to
expect either many white representatives,
or many highly intelligent black representa
tives, of the colored population. Still,
though thus far the course of the leaders of
the emancipated race has been judicious,
they must remember that they are yet, as a
people, en trial before public opinion. They
must put their best men to the front. ALL
their leaders and representatives should be
carefully chosen. They had better take good
and trustworthy white delegates than poor
black ones. They should rather send no
scholars to a national school, than indifferent
ones.
In the case of the two colored cadets, it
would appear that no unfairness or prejudice
was shown toward them. On the contrary,
they were better treated by the other cadets
as new comers than white boys are. No hos
tility of race was manifested, as indeed it
would be a lasting disgrace to a national
military school, if any were; but, unfortu
nately, one of the lads was badly qualified
(as happens to many white youths), and the
other, though sufficiently prepared intellec
tually, was unsuited physically to the severe
training of the school, and both were very
properly rejected. No blame for this, of
course, rests on the authorities of the Acade
my; and none should rest on the colored
race. Still it would have been wiser in
Messrs. Perce and Hoge, of Mississippi and
South Carolina, in the first prominent test
of the physical and mental abilities of negro
youths, to have presented the very best whom
the race could offer. We trust that others,
; thoroughly well trained in mind and with
healthy physique, will be presented and
passed, bo that the race which did such good
service for the Union in the war may be
represented in its highest military school. It is
just, too, that our corps of national officers
should include some trom a population of
four millions, now hrst made freemen.
We need not say that to the Republican
, party it will be the logical sequence of their
position, as it will be their good fortune, to
support all just claims of the colored race
Their efforts have primarily been the means
of breaking their chains; through them they
Lave received the inestimable privilege of
suffrage, and now their votes will naturally
fall on the Republican side. Without any
demagogue influence, tne party now in power.
if they conduct themselves wisely, will re
ceive, as a natural thing, the important
colored vote of the country. We have never
been of those who believed that the Demo
crats, whether at the South or North, what
ever repentance or new emotions of philano
tnropy tbey might exhibit, could by any pos
.sibihty win any large portion of the votes of
the blacks.
With a lower population, whether white or
Jblack, tradition in politics and history has an
. overwhelming force. No black man could
possibly vote long with the party whose mem
bers had mobbed him in the North, and en
slaved him or defended his enslavement in
the South. 'Whatever the new Democratio
'frieuds of the negro" might promise, he
could not but always remember that the party
which had tried to mitigate his wrongs in
slaverv. which had stmesled to Drevent that
as w ot j-
curse being carried to new Territories, which
had finally, at fearful cost, broken his fetters.
.and at length made him an American citizen,
was the Republican party. Inevitably, he
and his children would tall in with that politi
cal division. The colored vote must for
many years to come be Republican. And a
very important vote it has become.
It will control, probably, six States
of the South; it will, without
doubt, determine the next I'residen
tial election. It can now decide the State
elections in New Jersey and Connecticut ; it
may be the last Btraud of the cable which
will hold our Republican ship in New York
State to its moorings. It is of consequence
in rennsjivania, Maryland, and Delaware,
In the future close balancings of parties in
the Northern States, the votes of the blacks
-will become a power which either party will
le glad to win. We expect to see plenty of
ueuiociauo incus xo gain it over, it is ours.
however, now ; and ours it will continue to
be if the party conduct itself with fairness
and good eise toward the colored race. Rut
their own leaders must also show "the wis
dom of the serpent," and remember that it
will not do to present as their representatives,
whether in politics or academies, any but
their best men. Time will mature talent and
the highest character among them, and they
should be in no haste to offer to the publio
unripe nuits.
THE NATURALIZATION BILL.
from the X. Y. I'libuiie.
The fear which we expressed for the fate
of .the Naturalization bill has been very nearly
realized. It has been rescued from utter
failure, but only the form with little force re
mains to it. The diverse and sectional inte
rests which opposed the original bill and
would have smothered it in the House had it
been put on its passage have consented to a
substitute which will have little strength in
practice, though it may be well onougu in
liurnose.
"The fiif-t section," as the Congressional
pynopfcis of the bill reported, "makes ful ;e
swearing ju;uisiittile as lorg-.-iy. Lufortu
rately, that is about all it does do, none of
the much-needed legislation to enforce the
law being provided, lhe punishment, u is
true, is fixed at a fine of such dimensions and
imprisonment of such severity that it ought
to deter leasonaoie rascals, but mew xotk.
repeaters" acd New York judges would
lauch at the provisions as at idle throats
which they regard not. The second and third
sections pronounce equally severe penalties
for the false personation of persons by appli
cants for naturalization pnpers or oy mose
who vouch for them, and for the forgery or
fraudulent use of certificates of naturaliza
tion; but they are merely definitions of crime,
and will have no binding force on the profes
sional politicians of this and other cities
where naturalization frauds are frequent.
The last clause, however, is the most dis
appointing of all. Instead of reserving the
sole right to issue certificates of national citi
zenship to the United States courts, as we be
lieve could have been done without endanger
ing the bill, every petty State and municipal
court in the country remains authorized, as
formerly, to constitute itself a machine for
any villainous party, and manufacture citi
zens at a moment's notice. There is not even
a restriction on the time at which a natural
ized citizen may vole after receiving his cer
tificate, a clause of the original bill which we
are confident might have been retained, not
withstanding the timidity of members who
feared to o fiend the more ignorant out of a
few hundred or a few thousand foreign born
citizens in their districts. To doubt that the
vast majority of our naturalized citizens
would have recognized the justice of suoh a
restriction is a greater insult than to have en
forced a restriction which the wisest of them
recognize as necessary, and few, except the
rascals, grumble at.
e hope the Senate, to whom the bill now
goes, will remedy these two grave detects.
The United States Courts should have the
Bole right to decide upon the claims to United
States citizenship, as well as the punishment
of all violations of its established laws for
creating citizens. The right to vote imoie
diately on being declared a citizen ought to
be annulled, and a reasonable restriction of
time substituted. To be sure, such amend
ments mav kill the bill. Let them. It is of
trifling value in its present form, and if it
cannot bear to be made of some force, it may
as well be dropped.
A MESSAGE ON CUBA.
From the A'. Y. World.
President Grant is as uncomfortable as a
fish out of water. Monday afternoon, soon
after his return from his trout excursion in
Pennsylvania with Simon Cameron, he sent
to Congress an ill-written message on Cuba,
in which he disclosed his unhappy dread of
the forthcoming report of General Banks on
our relations to the civil war in that island,
The main positions of the report have leaked
out within the last day or two, and General
Grant justly regards it as a censure of his
policy. The report is understood to recom
mend a recognition of belligerency between
the Cubans and Spain, and the President
dares not to let it go before the country with
out an antidote to save the little remnant of
his lost popularity. He is very emphatic
aoainst recognition, and in defense of his
own position which the report of the commit
tee is expected to assail. His attempt to ward
off the coming blow shows how damaging he
fears it will be.
When the message had been read in the
House, General Banks, against whom it was
directed, rose in his place and moved that it
be laid on the table and printed. Bnt Mr.
Jndd, a friend of the President, who did not
wish the message stifled in that manner,
moved that it be referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs. General Banks opposed
this motion, saying that the Committee on
Foreign Affairs had fully considered the sub
ject, and that their report would be presented
for the consideration of the House.
This was Baying, in effect, that the message
would have no weight with the com
mittee, and that they would not reconsider or
revise their conclusions in consequence of
anything the President had said. This was
contemptuous enough, and implied a rebuke
of General Grant for his impertinence.
But it was veiled in guarded language calcu
lated to conceal from the country the con
tempt of the message which was implied and
intended by the speaker. At this point, Mr.
Cox, whose quick perceptions of General
Banks' drift, and desire to clear it of parlia
mentary ambiguity, served a useful purpose,
expressed in plain language what Banks had
only ventured to insinuate. Mr. Cox thus
precipitated a dramatic situation more amus-
T l . , , A i I - C i 1 tt
lug lo me uemocrauG iuemuers 01 tua uouse
than delightful to any section of the Repub
licans. Sir. Cox made it apparent that the
President's message was an attack on the
committee and an indecorous interference
with its functions, and by placing the an
tagonism in a . strong light, he compelled
General Banks to retreat from his first motion
and accept a reference of the message to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
But this was a hollow and extorted cour
tesy. General Banks had already said, in
substance, that the message would have no
influence with the committee; that it would
neither delay their report nor modify their
conclusions. If he stands firm in this resolu
tion, the reference is a mere idle civility
yielded to avoid the appearance of treating
the President with disrespect, lhe conjunc
ture which thus brings the President at log
gerheads with the House Committee on
Foreign Relations, is one of awkward embar
rassment to the Republican party. The sensi
tiveness of General Grant shows how morti
fying it will be to him to have his Cuban
policy arraigned and censured before the
country in the forthcoming report. If
the committee should quail and retreat, or
modify their report and speak with bated
breath, the Republican party will be com
mitted to the views of General Grant, and
the 6trong popular sympathy with the Cubans
will be turned against the administration in
the elections of this . summer and autumn.
If both sides stand their ground, there will
be an unseemly wrangle in the House over
the report, resulting in a schism even more
damaging to the Republicans than a united
support of the policy of the President. If
the Cubans should gain any ad vantages during
the summer, the strengthening enthusiasm
for their cause will react against the admin
istration. If, on the other hand, they should
be Bubdued and crushed, the administration
will be arraigned before the people and held
responsible tor their defeat, in either case,
the llepublican party will sutler.
Whatever may be the real merits of the
ouestion. it cannot be doubted that General
Grant has been hurried into an indecorum by
his weak and feverish dread of Bauks'
report. His own dignity and a decent respect
for Conirress should have withheld hun from
Bending a message which is so obviously
aimed against a document whicu he has no
right to criticize, and least of all in advance
of its submission to the body whose province
it is to debate and act upon it. Ii Congress

different rolicv from that which he hai i ir-

eued, it will have to be submitted to him for
his approval, and bin defense of bis policy
would be placed before the country with
f reater dignity and effect in a veto message,
f no such bill or resolution should be passed,
he will remain as free as he is now to act on
his own judgment. Nothing but a conscious
ness that he is weak with the people could
have hurried him into the indiscretion of at
tempting to refute the report .of a Congres-
sional committee whose substance he knows
only by hearsay. It is not for him, bnt for
the House, to supervise the action of its
committees; and even the House does not go
behind a committee and criticize a report
before it is presented.
THE
RIGIITS OF
NATURALIZED
ABROAD.
CITI-
ZENS
From the A". F. Bun.
On the 13th of April lost, a treaty was ne
gotiated at London between Mr. Motley, the
Ambassador of the United States, and Earl
Clarendon, the British Secretary for Foreign
Affairp, by which Great Britain relinquishes
forever tLe old British doctrine of citizen
ship, and recognizes fully the right of any
British subject to abandon allegiance to the
British crown, and become a full citizen of
this republic.
This treaty is now before the Senate for
consideration; and as it only declares a prin
ciple for which the United States have always
contended, and takes away all occasion for
future controversy, it will undoubtedly be
ratified. We trust, however, that its ratifica
tion will not be made a pretext for the
abandonment by our Government of the
claims of naturalized citizens, based upon
violations of their rights which have already
been committed
Take, for instance, the very case to which
the negotiation of the proposed treaty is
owing. On the first day of June, 18(!7, John
Warren, an Irishman and a British subject by
birth, who in 185G was naturalized as a citi
zen of the United States, landed in Ireland,
and immediately after landing was arrested
and thrown into prison by the British Gov
ernment. After a lapse of ten days he was
indicted and committed for trial for construc
tive treason as a conspirator, for words
spoken in New York, and for an overt act
committed in Ireland by other parties, three
months before his ai rival. He demanded, as
an alien, to be tried by a jury half of Aine
rican citizens and half of British subjects;
but this demand was denied by the court,
on the express ground that he was not an
alien, but a British subject,, on the old prin
ciple that he who is once under the allegi
ance of English sovereigns remains so for
ever. ' By the application of the same prin
ciple be was convicted of the offense for
which he was indicted, although it was ad
mitted that he had personally committed no
overt act on British soil; and he was sen
tenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. A
portion of this sentence, with all its degra
dation and hardships, he actually suffered,
But finally, on the 4th of March, 180!), he
was, with fifty other convicts, pardoned, still
as a British subject, and permitted to return
to this country. He has laid his claim for
damages before Congress, and his memorial
is now in the hands of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. Meanwhile, from the
agitation of the question which his case has
occasioned, has sprung the treaty now be
fore the Senate; so that he has, at all events,
the satisfaction of knowing that by his agency
Great Britain has been brought to a formal
admission of the rights of naturalized Ameri
can citizens, which was not extorted by the
war of 1812, although that war was fought
respecting that very question.
lhe remarkable fact, however, is that Mr.
Warren should have been compelled to peti
tion Congress at all for redress. One would
have thought that as soon as the news arrived
of his arrest and imprisonment, his libera
tion would have been demanded by the Presi
dent, and the demand enforced by all the
power of the nation. Mr. Johnson, however,
always had a morbid hatred of remanism,
and that a man was even accused of it was
enough to condemn him in his eyes. Bat now
that we live under a different administration,
which has made some promises, we are still
waiting to see whether there is to be any
change of policy in this respect. But at any
rate, if the senate does not insist upon com
pensation being made to Mr. Warren before
it ratifies the Motley-Clarendon treaty, it will
show less regard for the honor of the nation
than we have a right to expect from it.
SPAIN PRIM ON THE SITUATION.
Frvm ito S. 1'. Herald.
Since Monday of last week the Spanish
Cortes have been formally occupied in dis
cussion relative to the future occupancy of
the throne. It does not appear that the dis
cussions have resulted in any satisfactory
settlement. lhe sta'ement of Prim, made
in the Cortes on Saturday, that the Govern
ment had sought a candidate for the throne,
but thus far in vain, clearly shows that the
throne question is as much a perplexity to
day as it has been any time these last nine
teen months. It is poor consolation to
Spain, afflicted and exhausted as she is,
to be told after all this weary waiting that
there was reason to feel confident that
candidate .would be found within the next
three months. Prim assured them that he
did not mean Alphonso, Prince of Asturias,
son and heir of Isabella; nor did he expect
that the anxiety which notoriously existed
throughout the count iw would ripen into
disorder.
Ihan the condition In which fepain now
finds herself we can conceive of nothing more
humiliating. In September of 1808 bpain,
so long so backward, so long dying by inches,
startled the world by the suddenness and
vigor of her action, and seemed by one bold
effort, by one darinc leap, to recover her
place among the nations. Men remembered
the times of Ferdinand and Isabella, when
Spanish arms were invincible wherever they
were put to the test ; the times of Charles v.
and of Phillip II., when the Spanish flag
swept the seas and when the Spanish dominion
encircled the globe; and they naturally enough
leaped to the conclusion that the pride
of Old Castile and the chivalry of Aragon,
though long dormant, were not yet dead.
The dethronement of Isabella was a new tri
umph of the popular cause, a fresh hope, a
resurrection; and on this Continent, as in
Europe, the people and the friends of progress
rejoiced. In the course of time the (Jortes
nifct. and the new constitution which
they framed, although in some respects dis
appointing, was an advance in the right di
rection. The throne was not demolished,
as, perhaps, it should have been, but good
hope was given that the successor of Isabella
would be a man of the people's choice, and
that it would be difficult for him to govern
contrary to their wishes. There was to be no
delay in filling the throne. Yet here we are
to-day, some twenty months since the revolu
tion, and the Spanish throne is still begging
an occupant. Europe is crowded with princes,
with idle scions of royalty in eager quest of
such toys as crowns and thrones: Spain has
gone upon her knees to many of them; yet no
I rime but one, so far as we know, has been
found willing to be a royal figurehead, and
that one is obnoxiovs to the Spanish nation.
This, however, is not all. The Spanish people
are worn out with uncertainty and bamed
hopes. The Spanish treasury is empty.
Spanish bills will nowhere be discounted.
Spanish trade is all but dead, bpanish colo
nies are sick of their connection with the mo
ther country. Spanish nobles who have been
filling the posts of duty seek to be relieved,
and the only Spaniard who has been deemed
worthy of royal honors politely but firmly de
clines them. In these ciroumstances it is that
Prim tells the Spanish people that a king may
be found in three months. Buckle did say
hard things of Spain, but the worst things
that Buckle ever said have been established
by facts since Buckle's death. Was ever na
tion in such wretched plight ? Was ever revo
lution bo fruitless? Was ever a people so
disappointed and disappointing? Twenty
months of killing uncertainty, and no hope of
deliverance ! Search the whole field of his
tory and find such an example. ' We seek in
vain.
What is the cause of this failure ? We have
answered the question often before. We an
swer it again. We might put our answer in
two words, and Bay "Spanish impotence.'"
This is the true answer. It is necessary, how
ever, to be more particular. The resurrec
tion of Spain has been found impossible bo
cause the people are held down by the Church
and by the army, and because men are want
ing to head the people in attempting to break
those bands asunder and to cast away those
cords. The Church will not aoccpt the new
constitution, and three-fourths of Spain at
least Bwear by the Church. The army of
Spain is a blind machine, but it is strong
enough to make peasants and unarmed citi
zens tremble. And during all those months
no man has come to the surface prominently
but one, and Prim seems to"be without that
force of character, wanting in that kind of
nerve, which makes revolutions lastingly tri
umphant. A Ctesar, a Cromwell, a Napoleon
would lead Spain into new paths, would
arouse her ancient spirit and give her a new
lease of life.1 But no Ciesar, no
Cromwell, no Napoleon comes to
the rescue. Prim is the only man who has
had the opportunity, but his courage has not
mounted with the occasion. Until the Spanish
Chnrch is broken down and the people enjoy
intellectual and spiritual liberty, and until the
Spanish army changes its character and ceases
to be a blind, unreasoning machine, we have
little hope of Spanish resurrection. If there
is any hope at all it lies in the pnssibility of
the appearance of some patriot and hero who
shall have the pluck to dare and the genius to
lead. If some such man does not now appear
it vi ill not surprise us to learn that he who
now commands the army and who has failed
to be the Cromwell has actually become the
Monk of the Spanish revolution. This will
be lamentable, but anything is preferable to
the present state of things. Unless you give
him the power you cannot blame the bed
ridden man who will not rise and walk. Such
is poor Spain.
