THE CUBAN QUESTION
TcoLtc interest in the Cuban question will be
materially increased by the speech delivered
by General Banks, in the House of Repre
sentatives, yesterday. lie takes direct issue
with the administration, and as he is the big
gun of the Cuban cause, Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and an orator
of no mean pretensions, it is not surprising
that he created a sensation. It was perfectly
natural that he Bhould be applauded by gal
leries well filled with Cubans who have come
here to fight their battles on our soil, and
who view the possible expenditure of
American blood and American money on their
behalf with as much philosophio indifference
as Artemua Ward displayed in regard to the
fate of such of his distant relatives as were
drafted for service against the Rebellion. It
is always a popular thing to make speeches
for liberty and independence, and
declamation against tyrants sounds nearly as
well in Congress as on the stump. Even if
the Cubans had issued no bonds, and if our
Bpread-eagle orators did not cherish the
slightest hope of pecuniary reward from the
Creoles, they would still be loth to lose the
opportunity for fine speech-making which
this domestic convulsion affords. Ever since
the Government was established similar ques
tions have arisen, and while, to the credit of
American administrations, they have refrained
from active interference, there was always a
hot-headed party in Congress ready and
anxious to plunge the nation into inextricable
difficulties. Washington laid down the true
rule when he warned his countrymen against
entangling alliances, and in resisting the
popular pressure for a close affiliation with
the French revolutionists, he discharged a
sacred duty only one degree les3 meritorious
and useful than his military services.
It may be a fine thing for Con
gressmen eager to earn oratorical
fame, or possibly something of greater
pecuniary value, to become the champions
of guerillas, to exalt voluntary exiles into the
purest of patriots, and to nrge the American
people to become parties to a desperate quar
rel. But the nation which is to foot the bill
of all these tine experiments, and which is
now slowly recovering from the exhaustion of
its own bloody war, will pause long and
ponder deeply before it departs from the tra
ditional policy which has so admirably served
its true interest. All Europe groans under
burdens imposed by unnecessary and
unwise interference in foreign wars, and the
modern experience furnished by the French
attempt to establish Maximilian in Mexico,
and the English efforts to aid the Southern
Rebellion, furnish new proofs of the folly of
a departure from the strict line of interna
tional law and the established rule of our own
Government. It will be time enough to
grant belligerent rights to the Cuban insur
gents after their title to such recognition is
founded on an indisputable basis, aud
after the arguments and statements contained
in the late special message of the President
are conclusively refuted.
Presuming General Banks' own statement
that the forces now in the field in Cuba con
sist of about 55,000 Spanish soldiers against
10,000 or 20,000 Cubans to be correct, our
own late history shows how desperate must
be the prospects of the insurgents under
these circumstances. The best thing ttut
can be done for all parties is, to hasten the
suspension of such an unequal conflict, more
especially as it has degenerated into massacre,
murder, plunder and devastation, or the sort
of war that Jeff. Davis might
have waged for a time after
the surrender of the armies of Lee and John
ston, if he had not been captured, and if he
had been able to keep a few bands of gue
rillas in the field. It is beneath the dignity of
a great government to f .n the embers of suoh
an expiring flame. It should strive rather
to extinguish them in the most speedy in in
ner possible, and display its regard for those
who are implicated in an unsuscessful re
bellion by efforts to secure for them the best
possible terms of reconciliation.
BUTLER DESPONDENT.
We find in the Petersburg, Va., Courier of a
late date a brief letter from General B. F.
Butler, in which he says:
'I can only say of this matter of reconstruction,
substantially lu the language of Holy Writ: 'if they
will not believe Moses and the Prophets, neither
will they lelieve though one rose from the dead.' 1
am afraid hardness of heart and blindness of mind
will possess the people ooth North and South, uutil
a new calamity will oome upon tne nation.
"I wlah vour matter may be taVcen ud and nassed
at once, but we are so driven for time with the Tariif
and other bills as to render it exceedingly doubtful."
The writing of such an epistle as this by
General Butler is simply a piece of audacity.
The present session of Congress hasJeen
one of the most unfruitful on record. Day
after day, week after week, month after
month, both houses have indulged in indis
criminate buncombe, to the studied neglect
of the vital interests of the oountry. And
General Butler himself has been the most
dilatory man in the lower house, as far as
this particular business of reconstruction is
concerned.
The case of Georgia has been hanging fire
ever since the Christinas recess. The House
devoted weeks to the desultory discussion of
a measure looking to the final reconstruction
of the State, and the Senate, after consider
able delay, undid the whole work, by passing
a bill unlike the House bill in its phraseology,
although not materially different from it in
substance. And then this bill as it came
back to the House from the Senate was left
to slumber in the Committee on Recon
struction, of which General Butler is chair
man, so long that it seemed to have slept it
self to death. Why did not General Butler
report the bill back to the House with some
sort of a recommendation, and put
some measure or other looking to the
end of the Georgia business upon its pas
sage, without all this interminable delay?
Practically, the fate of Georgia reposes in
his hands. On some questions he can be
stubborn and dictatorial enough; why has he
not displayed a little of his dogmatic spirit on
the Georgia question ? It is true that the
majority in the nouse has shown its antago
nism to the views of Butler, but he waived
these views on his own part and voted for the
original House bill, after the Bingham pro
viso, which he had fought against so earnestly,
had been attached to it, on the ground that
he desired the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment, and objected, moreover, to
voting with the Democracy on a party issue
of any sort. What he could do for the sake
of the fifteenth amendment he could surely
bring himself to do for the sake of winding
up forever the reconstruction business in
general and the reconstruction of Georgia in
particular.
On the 17th of May the Reconstruction
Committee instructed General Butler to re
port to the House a bill upon which it agreed
affecting the status of Georgia. This was a
full month after the Senate substitute came
over to the House and was referred to the
committee, and another full month was
suffered to elapse without any effort on the
part of the chairman of the committee to get
the question again before the House. At
last, on Monday, he made a pretence of at
tempting to report the bill whioh he had
been instructed to report on the 17th of May;
and failing to do so, as might have been ex
pected under the circumstances, he yesterday
morning, "by a sharp trick," as we are told,
persuaded the Committee to reconsider its
action and permit him to report the bill with
out the Bingham proviso, a feature on which
both houses of Congress have insisted by de
cided votes, and after the most careful and
protracted discussion. And now, say our
Washington despatches, it is probable that he
will report the bill without further delay,
after having held it back, against the instruc
tions of the committee, for a month, simply
for the sake of being permitted to report it
in a shape in which it is almost certain to en
counter the determined opposition of the ma
jority in both the House and Senate. If
General Butler had condescended to bam
boozle the Committee on Reconstruction
in this fashion at the outset, he would
have been entitled to the thanks of the
people. But he took his own time, as
usual, and meanwhile amused himself by
prowling about the oountry, and en
deavoring to introduce into the House a bill
for the annexation of San Domingo. This was
simply trifling with the people, and no man
knew it better than General Butler himself.
A little of the energy wasted by him upon his
crazy San Domingo scheme would have set
tled finally and forever the Georgia question
nearly two months ago. "I am afraid," he
says, "hardness of heart and blindness of
mind will possess the people both North and
South, until a new calamity will come upon
the nation." If General Butler is not care
ful the country will take him to be just such
a calamity as he stands in expectation of, and
act accordingly.
GENERAL AMNESTY.
The question of granting a general amnesty
to all the participants in the late Rebellion
who are now deprived of their political
privileges came up again on Monday in the
House of Representatives in the shape of a
bill introduced by Colonel W. B. Stokes of
Tennessee. The House refused to suspend
the rules to consider the bill, so the matter
may be regarded as settled for the present
session. It is very much to be regretted that
Congress did not take a proper view of this
important question and pass a universal am
nesty law, for the work of reconstruction can
not be considered as finished, or the people
of the South be made to look upon the Gov
ernment with friendly eyes, until they are re
stored to their normal condition of citizen
ship. It is too late at this day to talk of punish
ing participants in the Rebellion, and sound
policy demands that since the great work of
emancipation has been happily completed by
the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, all
appearance of persecution of the white
people of the South shall be abandoned, aud
that an effort shall be made to cultivate
friendly relations between the people of all
sections of the country. So long as a large
portion of the Southern people are disfran
chised, we can expect nothing but discontent
from them; for not only is the deprivation of
the rights of citizenship a grievance in itself,
but the condition of affairs that grows out of
it very seriously retards the prosperity of the
late Rebel States, and prevents them from
repairing quickly and effectually the ravages
made by the war. The passage of au amnesty
bill at the present session of Congress wo al l
have excused, in some degree at least, other
shortcomings; and it is a real misfortune to
the country that there was not wisdom
enough in either house to understand the im
portance of such a measure.
The significant feature of the bill brought
before the House yesterday was the fact that
it was introduced by Stokes, of Tennessee.
This man was a virulent secessionist at the
breaking out of the Rebellion, but as he did
cot take any active part in the conflict, he
was not deprived of bis citizenship, and when
the Rebellion collapsed he immediately went
into business as an ardent Republican politi
cian, and has particularly distinguished him
self by his violence against those who were
not as lucky as himself in keeping out of the
fight. The introduction of an amnesty bill
by Stokes is therefore to be considered
merely as a bid for popularity, but that he
should seek to obtain a reputation as an ad
vacate for pardon shows very plainly that the
time baa arrived when the maintenance of
any foothold the Republican party now has in
the South depends upon the speedy aetion of
Congress in this matter.
A VOICE FROM THE MINORITY
DISTRICTS.
The call for an informal convention of Re
publican dolegates from the minority districts
of the State, to meet in this city on the 4 th of
July, is one of the significant political signs
of the times. It is but one of the multitude
of palpable indications on every side that the
Republican masses have exercisod forbear
ance under incompetent, selfish, and corrupt
eadership until forbearance has ceased to be
a virtue, and that they have now retolved to
act in Pennsylvania as they did in New York,
and strike down pretenders regardless of
political consequences.
In no part of the State has the Republican
party abler and more efficient and deserving
representative men than in the minority Con
gressional districts They can have no hope
of political preferment at home, and they
have sustained the principles of the party
with unflagging patriotism and fidelity. All
they have asked is that they Bhould be heard
in dispensing the local patronage of the na
tional administration in their respective dis
tricts, so that they should not be utterly ig
nored in the midst of their unequal conflicts,
and their faithful followers be compelled to
stand aside and see characterless and incom
peteat partisans of some outside scheming
politician fill the local places of honor and
profit.
When Grant's administration commenced,
the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress
wrangled over the patronage in a most dis
graceful manner. The schemes and counter
schemes of pretended leaders to gain personal
advantages made the State a byword in Wash
ington, and gave the President the best pos
sible opportunity to ignore our great Com
monwealth in making up his administration.
The ablest and most efficient Republicans
went to Washington to advise as to appoint
ments, only to be coldly turned away with the
insulting information that their districts be
longed to the Senators. In every minority
district the leading Republicans have been
almost universally ignored in the petty
huckstering of our delegation, and it
has been borne until it can be borne no
longer. The local complaints have taken
deep root all over the State, and the logical
result of this great wrong appears in an in
formal convention of independent and con
sistent Republicans, w h j will no longer sub
mit to the course that has been pursued
towards them. The national leaders of the
Republican party will do well to give timely
heed to these complaints.
