THE EriSCOrAL COUNCIL.
From the A. Y. World.
It is curious to observe how little effect in
religions matters the liberal leaven appears
to Lave upon the orthodox lump. The theo
logical guerillas only close up the rauks and
strengthen the array of tho church militant.
"Free lleligiou" finds its compensating
extravagance in advanced ritualism, aud the
Unitarian Conference of lust week is buc
cetded and supplemented by the Federate
J nncil of five dioceses of the Protestant Epis
copal Church. Feuple who are wandering about
in starch of a en id, and finding none, as were
the ecck-siiibticul estmya of List week, are at
liberty to derive whatever instruction they
can from the spectacle of people who are
thoroughly content within a strict formuli of
faith, and who Lave met, it appears, to but
tress the bulwarks of Zion which the others
have been endeavoring to throw down.
Upon points of doctrine it is not under
stood that this council will deliberate, as its
deliberations could not in any case be of auy
authority or arrive at any Dual decision, and
would therefore run the risk of being as un
satisfactory as the deliberations upon those
poiLts of tha Unitarian Conference appear to
1 ave 1 eon to those who participated in them
end those who Lave read of them. Coleridge
vas derisively culled an "excellent talker,
provided you let Lim Bturt from no premises
and come to no conclusion." The excursions
of ecclesiasts who insist upon no common
premises, aud ar certain not to
arrive at any common conclusion,
are not likely to lead to very pro
fitable results, however much eloquence may
be evoked in the process, or however pleasaut
it may be to the excursionists. The counoil
Las the clear advantage of having no points
of doctrine in dispute, or at least none
which it will attempt to settle.
But there are many points of discipline and
organization which the council can busy it
self upon. Though these, perhaps, are not
of so general interest as debates upon ques
tions of belief, and so are not likely to figure
so conspicuous in the newspapers, the ar
rangement of them is at least a likely to
Eromote tho interest of the church in whose
ehulf they are sought to be ordered. They
may expect excited discussions upon the
ritualism which is the present bugbear of all
the branches of the Anglican communion.
It is likely, also, or at least it is possible,
that steps will be taken towards rendering
the hierarchy of the Episcopal Church of
America more analogous to the hierarchies of
the Episcopal Churches of England and of
Home by adding a grade to it. The five dio
ceses into which the State of New York is
now divided, and which have been increased
within a few years from two, are sufficiently
prosperous, numerous, and extensive to be
erected into an archbishopric And the esta
blishment of such a dignity might be thought
necessary to the symmetry of the system.
Frelacy implies primacy. The hierarchy of
Koine is graduated from the priesthood
through bishoprios and cardinalates. to the
papacy. The hierarchy of England ascends
from the diaconate t the headship oAPthe
Church conjoined to the leadership of the
State. The hierarchy of the Episcopal Church
in America alone is truncated at the episcopal
stage. Its organization is at present not
democratio certainly; but it is also not mon
archical, or even properly hierarchical.
Whether theoretical considerations like this
weigh with the council or not, its meeting
Shows the tendency towards a sphere of gov
ernment larger than the area of a single dio
cese, as its sessions will attest the great and
growing influence of the communion so large
a portion 01 wmcn it represents.
WHAT IS CUBA WORTH?
From the A. Y. Sun.
Cuba has for years been to Spain the mine
from which, by the most cruel and tyrannical
system, she Las drawn the means to support
Her court and its parasites. After piyiug
the expenses of a considerable quota ot
Spain's army, and, on an average, those of
one-half of Ler navy, Cuba Las for very many
years remitted, as the net proceeds of surplus
taxation over the cost of her own Govern
ment sums varying from six to seven mil
lion aoaars per annum. This enormous
amount was, Lowever, ground ont of Cuba
and Cubans in tbe rosv days of Ler greatest
financial prosperity. For tbe last two years
Cuba, of course, Las been to Spain not an
expense, except in lives for Spain Las no
money to spend but a dead weight, politi
cally und financially. The money to carry
on Ler futile attempts to crush the revolution
has been provided not by Spain, but by
Spaniards in Cuba, whose only hope for the
future was the preservation of bpauish aove
reignty, with slavery and the slave trade. It
is stated on creditable authority that the
Casino Espnnol of Havana lately remitted to
their agent, Manuel C.dvo, in Madrid, the
enormous sum of $ 1)00, 000, to insure the
despatch of the last 3000 raw recruits sent to
Cuba. To the Spaniards in Cuba, if the out
tide world permitted the renewal of the slave
trade, the island might be most valuable; to
Spain itself it can never again be worth any
thing. The Cubans naturally desire to own their
country, and they might be willing perhaps
to pay a fair price for it, in order to avert
further destruction of their own property,
It is natural that they of all others should be
best informed of the real value of tbe island.
from a life residence, and from the fact that
all their possessions are situated there, and
their future prospects bound up in their Ob
's, taming entire control or it.
arious Bums nave at ainerem times oeen
named as the price at which Soain would sell
" the island. They vary from one hundred
and thirty to one hundred ana seventy mil
lions of dollars. Tbe Cubans last year of
fered to pay one hundred millions for it; and
this amount, in view of the actual circum
stances, is a large one. In the first place.
this sum represents in this hemisphere, and
in all tropical oountries where lab r is dear
and capital correspondingly so, an annual
interest of at least seven millions of dollars.
or about the same sum as Spain has drawn
out of the island, under the most oppressive
system of taxation, direct and indirect, ever
imposed on any nation or colony. Slavery in
Cuba is doomed in any event. If the patriots
succeed in driving out the Spaniards, the slave
is free by the Cuban Constitution. It the
revolution should ever be suppressed, not
only would the island be previously reduced
to a desert, and consequently utterly incapa
ble of paying any taxes, but slavery, the
bftsis of tbe past nuancial prosperity of the
island, would Lave to be abolishel by Spain
herself. Now netone-tenthof the area of Cuba
is nndtr cnlMvMion, arid all the laws which

posal, and more than sufficient to supply his
wants. For many years no new element oan
be found to replace the negro. The reorga
nization of free labor will be a task reipuriiw
much skill, patience, aud assiduity; and no
set of men but tbe native Cubans, who are
"thoroughly acquainted with the character of
their late slaves, are likely to undertake the
task with any prospect of success.
Cuba, then, is not worth much except In
the Lands of the Cubans; its value is much
less to-day than it was when the revolution
began; and it will continue to decrease as
long as the civil war continues. The only
sure way of arresting this decline in the
w orth of the island is to help the Cubaus to
maintain their independence. Let the
United States recognize tbe Cuban Republic,
or even allow it the rights of belligerency.

SURRENDER OF MARSHAL BAZAINE.
From the A". Y. TrVmne,
Tbat which has long been kuown to be in
evitable Las come a little sooner, perhaps,
than the most sanguine friend of the German
aims anticipated. The victory of Orivelotte,
fought on August 18, assured tLe fall of Mitz
sooner or later; tbe triumph at Sedan and the
capture of the only army which could aid his
forces msde tbe assurance of Bazaino's sur
render doubly sure. But that he should have
made no bolder aud more frequent, efforts at
escape, and should thus soon have succumbed
to Lunger, appears strai ge when compared
to the desperation of MacMahon and tho
phtient endurance at Strasburg. Bazaine
will receive neither the sympathy extended
to the wounded commander at Sedan, nor
the admiration freely expressed for
tLe stubborn defender of Strasburg. His
tampHiKU Las been one of great blunders
und weak efforts; he is not only coudemned
by its incidents and result as a commander of
few resources and little daring, but he will
rest under tbe grave suspicion of being a de
signing intriguer, who hns sought throughout
to secure Lis personal advantage at the ex
pense of Lis country. For his army there is
yet respect and sympathy; no one, particu
larly its enemy, can forget the gallantry of
its hopeless struggle at liravelotte; but the
truth is that, like that of MacMahon, it has
fallen a victim to mismanagement. It might
have recovered, even uncer this drawback,
Lad it coped with a less skilful adversary;
but it Las been its misfortune to be pitted,
under bad commanders, against an active
enemy, controlled by some of best military
talent of tbe age.
ILe influence which this important sur
render must have upon the issue of the war
cannot well be overestimated. The annihi
lation of the French army thus completad is
the least of the many considerations involved,
since the 170,000 men of Bazsine have btm
virtually lost to the French eanse for weeks
past. On the other hand, it relieves almost if
not fully a quarter of Ta million of the best
soldiers of the German army; and doubtless
the first news hich next startles us will be
the announcement of their desolating and de
structive movements in various directions.
The 1st and 2d Armies are power! ul enough
to overrun all of unoccupied France; and Von
Moltke will contradict Lis whole past strategy
if he does not immediately direct them
against the most vulnerable points of his
enemy s country. The long inaction before
Metz has given these armies opportunity to
recover tbe strength sacrificed at Gravelotte,
and, reiuforced by Landaehr and reserves,
they now form, united, the most powerful
and the best prepared for active operations
of all tbe German armies. Dijon, Nevers,
Lyeus the whole southern system of French
railways, every rich department of Southern
France lies at the mercy of this and the co
operating armies. Unless an armistice shall
soon halt the columns of Prince Frederick
Charles, France must be desolated as never
before, until bumauity shall turn away in
horror at tLe scenes of ruin aud misery, and
cry Pence ! peaoe !
what immediate influence tbe surrender
of Bazaine is to Lave upon the siege of Paris
and the negotiations for an armistice it is
impossible to foresee. Experience has shown
that great reverses enrage bat do not inform
the French people;and in their first paroxysm
of anger at this new and very exhausting de
feat, there is danger that they will break off
tie pending negotiations for an armistice
nd insult the interposing neutrals as they
Lave defied tbe Germans on former occa
sions. It w ould be naturally concluded that
this event was likely to hasten the
conclusion of the arajyayice, since it
ought to convince the French of the
Lopelessness of the most unequal strug
gle; but we doubt such good result at once.
The surrender Las come none too soon for
those who earnestly desire tbe restoration of
peace on such conditions as shall insure its
permanency. It will ultimately have its
effect in bringing about the concessions
which Germany justly demands; but we
must wait a time for this development. Its
influence on the siege of Paris is of little
consequence. The army before that city
does not require to be reinforced. Like
tLht which lately lay before Metz, it waits
for its grim ally, Famine, tobomplete its
work, and no life is to be wasted in vain
assaults nor property destroyed in ineffective
bombardments. It will be seen from
the despatch which we published yesterday
morning that Prussia had offiiially assured
Russia tbat tbe capitulation of tbe b rench
capital will soon be forced by starvation.
For more than a month this city of quite two
million people has been cut off from supplies
of nil kinds, and none of the hungry mouths
even of foreigners and non-couihataots, Lave
been permitted to pass out. If Metz, with
only about a quarter of a million of mouths
to feed, could bold out only two months,
what Lope is there that Paris can do so for
bb long a time? The struggle is a hopeless
one for the French; and those who direct,
assume a fearful responsibility in continu
ing it.
FAIRS AND FAIRNESS.
From the J Y. Time.
As this appears to be the season of chari
table fairs, there being at least half a dozen
either in actual operation throughout the
city, or in immediate contemplation, it may
be well to say a wora concerning ine usual
manner of their management. The principle
which apparently underlies them all is to
extract from tbeir patrons the greatest pos
sible amount of money for the least possible
consideration. Charity, which is held to
cover so many sine, is, in these affairs, un
blushingly made to justify absolute extortion.
And not only is everything rated at prioes
absolutely above its real value, but the
tables are loaded with articles, for the
most part, of no value at all, or of no con
ceivable use to any human being. There
are some things, like baby clothes or coffins,
which we may almost at any time safely bay,
with "Toodles ' trsiui'iil cv!i 1 -Dft that
some day or other they wiU be handy to have
in the Louse. But what sane men ever, in his
wildest moments even, bo much as dreamed
of using tbe impossible smoking-caps or the
indesciirmble morning jackets, the filigree
card-racks or the embroidered watch-pockets,
for wLich at every charity fair bright eyes
and fascinating lips so soou to despoil him of
Lis substance f Ve specify the sex advisedly,
for, of course, it is mau who is the object ami
tbe prey of sll these enterprises, and for
whose especial enticement tbe miss of this
gorgeous inutility is prepared. He buys
it, indeed, whenever a sullLuontly pretty
woman asks Lim to buy it, and he throws it
away sft rward. Perhaps he is consoled by
tbe reflection that his money has goue for a
worthy object; but his business instiuct. if
he be a man of business, cannot repress a
pang tbt it has been so apparently wasted.
Now, all this appears to us to be wrong.
To give money directly in aid of a charity is
one thing, and to give it indirectly, through
tbe medium of bnrgnin and sale, is another.
Humanity naturally es mtsouything savoring
of imposition, at d most people would rather
give outiight, lor a laudable purpose,
whatever Uey can afford, than be cajoled
into pajing the same amount for a worthless
article, which at once takes their money aud
the credit of unrewarded liberality. If charity
fairs made it a point to otlYr only nsoful arti
cles of good quality, at fair market rates,
they would probably give us more general
satisfaction and exhibit more natferiug re
sults. Since their stock in trade is usually
made up of gratuitous offerings, there would
be no difficulty in combining jiiHt prices with
generous profits, and most people, finding
fair dealing, would be glad to buy their little
everv-dsy necessaries iu a quarter which
offered bo pleasing a prospect for the union
of economy and virtue.
DEMOCRACY AND DISASTER.
Frorti the Albany Journal,
TLe Democratio party is the party of strife,
tuuioil, and 1 protracted conflict. It is the
enemy of pub;ii peace and prosperity. It
refuses to accept the great settlements of the
Constitution. It disputes the validity of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and
threatens, in case it secures power, to over
throw them. Its triumph would revive the
rebellious spirit of the South, stimulate anew
such outrages as that of the Georgia Legisla
ture, and inflame again the violent and dis
tracting agitation from which the country will
secure entire relief by ltepublican ascendancy.
TLe Democratio party is the party of violated
faith and national sbaine. It advocates the
equivalent of repudiation in some parts of
the country, open and undisguised repudia
tion itself. Its success would be a deadly
blow at tbe honor of tLe nation it would be
a fatal stab at tbe public credit. The calm,
steady, orderly movement of the national
finances, by which the debt is being rapidly
paid, by which the annual burden of interest
is being reduced, by which the decrease of
taxes is made possible, by which the value of
the public securities is being augmented, by
which tbe purchasing power of our money is
being sensibly increased to every holder all
this would come to an end. The Democratic
polioy is precisely the reverse in its character
and would be precisely tbe reverse in its
results.
Tbe Democratic party is the party of finan
cial convulsion and disaster. In order to
carry out its policy with regard to debt and
currency, it would issue a new flood of green
backs, and souhsettle all tbe foundations of
industry, business, and commerce. It would
utterly change the standard of value. It
would produce violent and ruinous fluctua
tions. It would overthrow the National Bank
system, against which it avows its implacable
opposition, and substitute a currency not
intelligently regulated bv the demands of
trade, but subject to the capricious changes
of Congressional majorities. It would spread
uncertainty and peril through all our financial
sjsttni and bailie the calculations of the
wisest men. It would reverse the movements
which are carefully and prudently carrying
us towards specij pavments, and would take
ns in the opposite direction. These are not
wild statements. They result inevitably
from the pronounced Democratio policy. The
country is now in the enjoyment of public
peace and business prosperity. Democratic
triumph would destroy both.
1 he Democratio party is the party of cor
rupt, wasteful, and extravagant administra
tion. Wherever it is in power it exhibits the
same results. It has brought our own city to
batkruptcy. It Las swelled the taxes in New
York from three millions to twenty-seven.
It Las wasted an annual surplus. of three mil
lioi s in tbe canals, and raised the taxes by
two millions and a half. Everywhere it falls
under the control of profligate and rapacious
rinos who prostitute it to their own enrich
ment. Wrong in principle, dangerous in
policy, ruinous in administration, how can
the people hesitate to reject this Democratic
psity i
