THE DECISIVE HOUR FOR SPAIN.
From the A'. Y, Herald. -
The world of enlightened and progressive
thinkers, when they first heard of the revolu
tion that expelled from the renowned old land
of Roy Diaz, the Cid and Ferdinand and Isa
bella, a Government that seemed totally In.
adequate to the requirements of its modern
life, was unanimous in predicting glorious
things. Never had so complete a change
been effected at ao little cost of life or with
Buch fair demeanor on the part of the viotora,
and it was not too much to eipeot that men
who knew how to make a movement so ad
roitly and manage its results so judioiously
would be equal to the task of reconstruc
tion. But months and even years, well nigh,
have rolled away, and Spain is still flounder
ing about in that slough of despond styled a
regency. Her crown has gone a begging,
only to be peremptorily rejected by every
one solicited, excepting by the DZohenzol
lern prince, whose acceptance has been
made the pretext of a ferocious war be
tween France and Germany, and came very
near embroiling Spain herself with her fiery
and imperious Gallio neighbor. The Spanish
Ministry were greatly irritated at the ciroular
of the Due de Gramont, and on the night
of its receipt at Madrid (July 24) crowds as
sembled in the streets of that city and loudly
menaced not only the French embassy but
all the French residents of the plaoe. The
Government was so greatly exoited that there
was a proposal seriously entertained to call
the Cortes together immediately, their pro
per time of reassembling being October 31.
From that moment the republicans began to
organize in favor of absolute neutrality in
the pending war and of a speedy close to the
interim between the settled form of govern
ment driven out and the one that is to suc
ceed it. On the 25th of July a grand mass
meeting of all the liberals who dwell on the
right bank of the Tagus was held at Plasenoia,
and the proclamation of a republic was boldly
suggested.
The Spanish Ministry has, indeed, pub
lished a decree of neutrality, but many of the
ministerial journals and all of those in the
democratic interest decidedly lean towards
Prussia. Upon a careful survey and com
parison of the different elements of the Span
ish press, as representatives of public opin
ion, we come to the distinct conclusion that
the restoration of the throne and the crown
ing of the Prince of the Asturias are regarded
as the sure consequences of French success,
the event to be followed by another moderado
ministry, which would commit over again
just the faults that drove them from power,
along with Queen Isabella, before. On the
other hand, it is believed that Prussian tri
umph would lead at once to the republic in
France, and that Spain would have to imitate
her. Well, thus far the Prussians have won
every point, the trumpet of republicanism is
sounding the reveille throughout France, and
its echoes are Heard tnrougn tne gorges ox tne
Pyrenees already, and hearkened to most
a a perl v bv exultinor millions. The workinc-
men have appeared in immense masses in the
streets at (Jadiz, Valencia, baragossa, liarce.
lona. and Madrid, where they bear this in
scription on their banners: "Army, Govern
ment, Aristocracy, Middle uiasses tne
People are Hungry."
In the meanwhile Senor Rivero, the Min
ister of the Interior, has insisted upon the
definitive adoption of a constitution, in order
to be in advanoe of the mandates that might
be imposed by either successful belligerent;
but he has been so bitterly attacked by the
Ibciia. the organ of General Prim and Senor
Sagasta, the Minister of State, that he and
all the other democrats in the Cabinet are
withdrawing. The reactionists, the procras
tinators, and the conspirators for any and
every species of monarchical form, there
fore, find themselves left face to face
with the country now weary of delay
and indignant at tne seno-coniio per
formances of its reputed lawgivers. This,
then, is the decisive moment for the Spanish
people the tide which, taken at the flood,
leads on to fortune." With intellects like
Topete, Rios-Rosas, and Lorenzana at their
command, and so grand and maiestio a voice
as that of Castellar to annoance their cause to
the world, the progressists need hesitate no
more. The great French terror hangs over
them no longer. They have but to raise their
souls to the height of the popular yearning
and Spain may lead the van of the sisterhood
of republics which are, presently, to revive
the youth, redouble tne energies, and secure
the happiness of nations so long made the
sport of arbitrary power and the footstool of
military arrogance.
OUR NATIONAL DOTHEBOYS II ALL.
From the A'. T. Tribune.
"A sulky state of feeling," said Mr.
Saucers, the Yorkshire schoolmaster, "won t
do. Cheerfulness and contentment must be
kept up. Mobbs, come to me." Mr. Squeera
had paused during this remark, and had
moistened the palm of his right hand in an
alarming manner. Cadet Mobbs (perhaps
they were called cadets, though Dickens does
not mention it) came reluctantly forward
and received the proper penalty for not
liking to eat cow s-liver broth, "even after
bis good master had asked a blessing on it.
Dickens said, in the original preface to Niclto-
las jSiciaeoy, tnat Air. bqueers and his school
were a faint and feeble picture of an exist-
iDC reality." Not so very feeble: his self.
estimate was too modest. Had the youthful
Mobbs been transferred to West Point, and
assumed the surname and arms of Smith, the
recent caBe of discipline in that well-known
school could hardly have been better summed
up. Mobbs demurred at eating oow's-liver
broth; Smith demurred at eating humble-pie;
that is all the difference. In both cases the
proper punishment was inflicted; only that
Cadet Smith's penalty was the severer, by as
much as the hand of a War Secretary is stronger
than the hand of a mere schoolmaster.
Mobbs and Smith both erred in supposing
that any indignity was to be protested against,
or any complaint treated as anytmng but a
crime. Mobbs erred through ignorance pro
bably; but Smith with his eyes open, t or he
wrote frankly, in the letter that made all tha
mischief, that if he ventured to make any
complaint of tuese outrages ne would be pun
ished. So it has prove.4. Let the Board of
Inquiry say what it pleases, that charge is
established. He did complain, and he is pun.
irihed.
If he has committed any other offense it is
not made clearly to appear, though it seems
impossible that the Secretary of War should
impose the same punishment npon tne natu
ral exaggerations of a tormented boy and the
"grossly abusive and insulting" conduct of
Li tormentors. Aa far as appears, if the
fable of the wolf and the lamb were to be
re-enacted at West Point, the lamb could
hardly escape from being 'severely repri
manded ir he ventured to Dieat in an exag.
gerated manner while tha wolf i swallowed
him. : '
The Articles of War declare that "oourla of
inquiry may be perverted to dishonorable
purposes, and may be considered as engines
or destruction. adtuudb more useiy to d
an engine of destruction to wholesome disci-
nline than this last conn oi inquiry, we can
not easily imagine. Its method of correcting
wrong seems to be the method of Donnybrook
Fair "wherever you see a head, hit it." If
one cadet bullies another, roprimand them
both. It is like those phantoms of courts de
scribed in the "Arabian Nights," where one
man beats another man, and the wrong is re
dressed by carrying them both before the
Cadi, or somebody, and - bastinadoing both
upon the soles of their feet. The offender
limps away in torture; so does he who has
suffered the offense. In the book it seems
only a part of the general romance, but poor
Cadet Smith has found it a reality.
But this cood result follows. Ihis being
the standard of justice among Regular Army
officers, we can the better see how the stand
ard of honor and discipline at West Point is
so low. How differently, for instance, Har
vard stands on the record! Four years ago
the first colored student entered that Uai-
versity. The brutal practice of "hazing"
was then at its height; but by one of those
impulses of manly generosity of which
voting men or, at least, young civilians
are capable, not an annoyance was inflicted
on this colored student. It was not from
contempt, for no contempt was shown. It
was simply from the feeling that the first
colored student would be sure to meet with
some peculiar obstacles, and they at least
would not add to them by a feather's weight.
Four years have passed; that young student
(Richard T. Greener) has just been graduated
with honorable prizes, and has no tale of suf
fering to tell. What is the difference ? Is it
that the class of boys sent to West 1'oint are
so hopelessly inferior to Harvard students in
the instincts of gentlemen ? Or is it that the
standard of discipline is so much lower ? The
report of the Court of Inquiry seems to show
that the trouble is in the discipline, and that
the longer an officer remains in the service
the less he comprehends the dmerence be
tween the wolf and the lamb, between
Squeers and his pupils.
WILL SENATOR TRUMBULL BE SECRE
TARY OF STATE?
From the N. Y. Sun.
Senator Trumbull of Illinois has been ia
this city for a day or two past. President
Grant will arrive at Long Branch from the
West to-day. It is reported that the offioe of
Secretary of State has been offered to Mr.
Trumbull; and it is not improbable that he
is here either for the purpose of accepting
it or of conferring with tne President about it,
The appointment of such a man aa Mr.
Trumbull would be a novelty in the history
of General Grants administration. Hith
erto he has avoided bring into his Cabinet
men of prominence as statesmen and politi
cians, and has selected his official counsellors
from the vast category ot persons whom no
body ever heard of. Mr. Trumbull, on the
other hand, is one of the most prominent
men in the Republican party. His talents
and his force of character long since placed
mm in tne front rank in the Senate, lie is
an independent, uncompromising statesman,
who acts npon bis own judgment and ad
heres to his own conscience. He was one of
the small number who refused to yield to the
popular clamor for the conviction of Andrew
Johnson. At that time he was assailed with
great virulence by the majority in Congress
and in the Republican party at large. But
he paid no attention to the war made upon
him; and now it has not only died away, but
he is everywhere regarded with a higher re
spect on account of his conscientious firm
ness in that matter.
This characteristic of Mr. Trumbull is one
that must have made President Grant hesi
tate for a long time before determining to
invite him to his Cabinet. Mr. Trumbull is
emphatically a man who has opinions of his
own, and no President can hope to have his
assistance unless there is a substantial agree
ment between them as to the polioy to be
adopted. He can never become the blind
tool of any superior; neither can he ever agree
to such a haphazard and accidental course as
that which has been followed by the adminis
tratieu hitherto m its foreign relations.- The
acceptance of the State Department by Mr.
Trumbull would do much .to revive the fail
ing confidence of the people in the Republi
can party, and would give respectability to
an administration that is now generally re
garded with contempt.
ONE MORE FRIENDLY WORD TO THE
SOUTH.
From the N. Y. World.
The "Few Friendly Words" of counsel and
advice which the World, a few weeks since,
felt impelled to proffer to Southern Demo
crats have been received in a spirit as con
siderate and respectful as that in which they
were given. Almost every southern news
paper among our exchanges has copied and
discussed the article, which betokens the keen
interest felt in the question. The greater
part indorse our views with more or less em
phasis, but there are some instances of quite
empbatio dissent. That able Democratic
journal, the Mobile lieaiater. rejects our ad
vice in toto, but even the Register couohes
its reply in terms of deference and great
courtesy. we nave no inclination to pursue
the subject at present, as the notice bestowed
on our article, and the responses it has
elicited, have brought the question fully be
fore the Southern mind, and we are quite
willing to trust its decision to the reflection
and good sense of those who are most nearly
affected by negro sun rage
But there is another subjeot of immediate
vital concern on which we think it our duty
to speak with all the decision and nrgenoy
compatible with our position as outside ad
visers. Our former advice related to plat
forms; una which we are about to oner re
lates to the selection of candidates; a matter
under ordinary circumstances of much greater
delicacy. On the other topio there is reota
for difference of opinion; but on this there
can be no diversity which is not the fruit of
Bheer ignorance or inadvertenoe. We fear
that we have recently fallen into such an in
advertence ourselves, and are therefore the
more bound to rectify any false impression
which we may have assisted to confirm. None
of us can annihilate obstacles by shutting our
eyes, and there is no wisdom in blindly but
ting onr heads against a wall.
The time ia close at hand when Southern
Democrats will nominate candidates for Con.
gress, and in most of the districts they can
give a majority oi votes to any citizen iney
may choose to run. In districts where the
Southern Democrats are strong, they are
trone to be defiant, and may nominate men
who cannot be admitted to seats. Thi3 would
be a crave mistake; for if the next House
should be pretty evenly balanced the loss of
one vote might cost us the organization and
enable the Kepubiieans to award all the oou-
tested fwatc. It is worse than' idle, it ia aui- 1
cidal, for the Southern Democrats to elect -
Representatives who would not be permitted
to serve. Our only hope ot controlling the
next House depends oU the prudence of the
Southern Democrats in their selection of can
didates; and it is for this reason that we make
an urgent appeal to , their good sense and
patriotism.
we need not Bay now tnorounmy we ae-
testthe prosoriptive legislation which restricts
their range of choice and deprives them of
the services of their ablest men. We shall
labor for the repeal of those restrictions until
the last vestige of them is swept away. A
demand for their removal should be inserted
in every Democrat io platform, North and
South. But while they remain we cannot
ignore them; and in pressing this warning
upon Southern attention we only repeat the
counsel given in the Democratic address,
signed by all the Democratic Senators and Re
presentatives in the present Congress, shortly
before the adjournment. That address was
prepared by a committee composed of some
of the ablest lawyers and staunchest friend?
of the South in either branch of Congress;
Senator Thurman being its chairman, and
Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, and J.
Proctor Knott, of Kentuoky, boing the other
members. There is no point in the address
which is insisted on with so much earnestness
as this of nominating for Congress men who
can be admitted to seats. The soundness of
the advice cannot be controverted, and it
only remains that we clear the subject of
misconceptions by a precise statement of the
nature of the prescriptive barriers. They
are two in number the fourteenth amend-1
ment and the test-oath; and it unfortunately
happens that manv Southern citizens who
would not be excluded from Congress by the
former, are effectually shut out by the lat
ter, lhe third section of the fourteenth
amendment is in these words:
"Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Re
presentative to Congress, or elector of President
and Vice-President, or hold any offlce, civil or mili
tary, under the l imed states, or under any State,
who, having previously taken an oath, as a member
oi congress, or as an omceror tne united states,
or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an
executive or judicial ofllecr of any S'ate, to support
the Constitution of the United States, shall have
engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the
Fame, or given am ami comiori to tne enemies
thereof, but Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds
of each house, remove such disability."
This excludes all citizens who, previous to
the rebellion, bad held any r ecleral or State
office which required them to swear to sup
port the Constitution; but it does not exclude
anybody for simple participation iu the re
bellion, not even if he was an officer of the
Confederate government or a military officer
in its service. Hence some have inferred
that such persons are not debarred from ad
mission to Congress. By the fourteenth
amendment they are not, certainly; but what
is called the iron-clad test-oath, which is la-
ilexibly administered to the members, shuts
out all who cannot take it. This oath, re
quired by the act ot July z, iswj, which is
still in force, is in the following words:
"I, A. B., do solemnly swear (or afllrm) that I have
never voluntarily oorue arms against me united
States since I have been a citizen thereof : that
have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, coun
sel, or encouragement to persons engaged In armed
nostiuty tnereto; mat l nave neitner sou gut nor
accepted nor attempted to exercise the functions ot
any oftlce whatever under any authority or pre
tended authority In hostility to the United States;
that I have not yielded a voluntary support to any
preienaen government, autnority. power, or consti
tution within the United States hostile or Inimical
thereto. And 1 do further swear (or aillrm) that, to
the best of my knowledge and ability, I will sup
port and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the
same ; that I take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose or evasion, ana tnat
I will well and fa'.thlully discharge the duties of the
office on which I am about to enter, so help me
God."
If any Southern district elects a member
who cannot take this oath, it will merely
throw away a seat in the House and a vote on
the Democratic side. We shall not be so rich
in seats and votes that we can afford to squan
der them. Mcfherson, tne Clerk of the pre
sent House, has authority by law to make up
the roll of the next House, and he will insert
therein the name of no member who is not
ready to take this test-oath. It is certain that
tne vat a mil oe enjorceu: and this is the
ground of the unanimous recommendation of
the Democratic members of the present Con
gress, lhe Southern Democrats will put our
control of the next House in jeopardy if they
disregard this advice.
It is true that a modified oath was pro
vided by an act passed ia 1868; but this
modified oath is only for members disquali
fied under the fourteenth amendment, whose
disability has been removed by act of Con
gress. 11. LI. Butler, of Tennessee, Senator
Pool, of North Carolina, and more recently,
Senator Johnson, of Virginia, and General
Lewis, of Kentucky, were admitted on taking
this modified oath; and there may have been
Some other instances. But it has no applica
tion to ordinary cases.
It is the more incumbent on us to call at
tention to this subject, as we recently spoke
in terms of approbation of a nomination to
which our present warning applies. We re
tract nothing which we said of the personal
fitness of the candidate; but as he will see,
on examination, that he cannot take his seat
if elected, we confidently expect his patriotic
withdrawal. A publio letter assigning his
reasons would be copied into all the Southern
papers and save other Democratic constituen
cies from a similar mistake. We cannot
doubt that he will justify the high opinion
we have expressed of his character by taking
this course. At any rate, the Southern Demo
cratic press will aid us in correcting the exist
ing misapprehension, and preventing abor
tive nominations to Congress.
