A NEW DEMOCRATIC GllIEVANCE.
From the, r. Tim.
Tne Deiuoeralio eleui(nt in the State of
South Carolina hs a new aud strange cause
of complaint. Taxes are imposed without
adequate representstion. Io South Carolina,
ea in many other States, the voting oiitnius
bers the taxable population. In thin instanoe,
Jt is a result of the acta of the couiplainanti
themselves. The wealthy people of South
Carolina embraced, almost aa a unit, the
cause of the Rebellion. Having been Rebels,
tbey were deprived of citizenship. To most
of them, however, political privileges have
been restored. Previous to the Rebellion,
ell power waa in the bands of the class no
complaining. The enfranchisement of tha
negro has for a time transferred political
control from ine master to nisioruier cnanei.
This is the chief grievance. Taxation with
out representation is a catch-word to con
ceal the real purpose of the movement,
which is to deprive the negro, an far as may
be possible, of the right of suffrage, aud
augment the strength of the Demooratio
party.
In the General Assembly of South Carolina
the negroes outnumber the whites, and a
large majority of the whites represent negro
constituencies. Troperty, though repre
sented, is in bo small a minority aa to be
without influence. Property desires to re
gain its old position and influeuoe, bat those
who are interested in this result do not oome
out openly and any how it is to be brought
about. The idea of a purely property
representation is opposed to the funda
mental principles of the Government. Be
fore the Rebellion, it was a cause of constant
complaint on the part of the North that the
slave, for all other purposes a chattel, waa
counted a man in the apportionment of Re
presentative' in Congress. Not possessing
slaveB now, the tt- Rebel of South Carolina
wishes to have bis lamia nud houses, his flocks
and herds, represented. llor should the
basis of representation be established?
Should the property-owner be allowed votes
for three-filths of bis wealth ? Then General
Kershaw, or some other ex-insurgent, having
elected himself by bis own votes, would re
present a constituency of plantation horses,
mules, cows, hens, and chickens.
.Preposterous as the idea of property repre
sentation is, it is of value as betraying the
designs of the Deuiocraoy of the South. A
quairel is to be fastened on the Republican
party. One grievance is no nooner satisfied
than another takes its place. Governor Scott,
willing to make every sacrifice for peace sake,
and perhaps wishing to test the sincerity of
the Democratic overtures, yielded to every
suggestion of the delegation of eighteen, of
Which tLe ex-Rebel General Kershaw was
the bead. Near the end of the" conference,
the Governor was informed that the con
cessions mude were not sufficient that lost
power must be restored to the wealthy
classes of South Carolina. This demand sim
ply means that control of the legislation of
the State should be given into the hands of
Democrats who aro willing to serve the "lost
cause." In South Carolina, however, the
negro vote is in thn msjority, aud it is un
likely that this majority will abridge its right
of suffrage. Rt-fussl may, perhaps, bring
down the vengeance of the Ku-klux; netr
outrages will le committed, baring aa aa ex
cuse the infringement of the negro on the
rights of the whites. The Democracy, to be
onsisteut, luuist defend their brethren of
South Carolina, aud thus help to build np an
aristocracy, while claiming to be the friend
of the laboring clashes.
CHURCH QUARRELS.
From the A'. . Tribui.
Our Philadelphia neighbors are just now
treated to a savory dish of scandal from one
of the Episcopalian churches, by way of flavor
to their Lienteu meals of herbs aud water.
The rector of St. Ciemeut's has been accused
cot only of unseemly caudles, posturings, aud
genuflexions, but ul holding auricular confes
sions, and praying for the dead. The Bishop
accused. The rector responded. The vestry
came in like a Greek chorus with wrathful re
frains; letters multiplied as though Wilkins
Micawber had the matter in hand. The secu
lar prtbs have taken it up aud devote eight
or ten columns to the elucidation of knotty
points of doctrine. The letters have grown
into pamphlets full of hard words, if not hard
logio, and the wnole ynuKer city stands still
to see how the tight will end between the two
men of God pitted against each other in
what tbey call "this holy Lenten season.
Our English exchanges bring aooounts of a
like quarrel, though on a larger scale, in the
same Church. Parliament and people are
convulsed on the question of the burial of
dissenters. Shall a Methodist be permitted
to foice bis unhandsome corpse among
churchmen, or lie apart? Shall he, if he will
' thrust himself into the inhospitable grave, be
allowed to hear his own hymns chanted over
the sod above him, or be put to rest by the
instituted gown aud book agaiust bis will?
For more than a year this squabble between
the living Church and dead outsiders has gone
on, with no hope of settlement. It is hard to
nnderstand why the publics are treated more
frequently to these virulent, ill-bred brawls by
this Church than any other, when we remem
ber that she represents, both in her ministry
and laity, an exceptional degree of intelli
gence, culture, and social uavoir tmre.
The long habit of power in Eoglaud may
bave made Ler quarrelsome when the power
is slipping from her, as it there begins to
do. A monarch about to be dethroned may
be forgiven if he is testy with regard to
the respect paid him, even by uuburied dxad
men. But the Episaopal Church in this
country has no such excuse. Her ministers,
especially in the Evangelical branch,
are, as a rule, a body of eduoated. Go 1-foar
Irg, God-serving, ill-paid uieu; fauiiliiriU
with the simple chaste sublimity of their
religious per vice should serve to educate them
not only as Christians, but gentle uu. Tuer
sbculd bave the comuiou.keuse aud taat t

ever dear to themselves, ar matters of totl
indifference to the world outside, until in
deed, they make them matters of ridioule bv
juicing iubiu iuio aisiepuwiDie uouee by tUeir
unseemiy equalities.
Such a quarrel as that in Philadelphia mU
represe nts and disgraces the cause of Christ
against the will of every earnest Christian, ia
the Episcopal Church. Bishops aud rectors
are but men, and liable to differ ou points of
candles and genuflexions, ax other meu do ou
Tweed or San Domingo. If the amiable aud
Sincere pastor of St. Clement's chooses to re
oeive confessions and pray for his deil
friends, and bis equally amiable aid wiuoora
vestry choose to disapprove of it, wuy BlmuM
they drag their unsavory viruluu.ee and ill
t roper before the world ? The rector has
certainly no way of proving to the read
ers of the daily papers whether his
absolution was efficacious to the living or his
praters to the dead. The malioe, angr,
and ill-speaking are not Christianity, the
secular world known already, without bis
proving. They are clear-sighted enough to
I eel that church forms, discipline, and doc
trines are bnt the outside garb of religion,
and eveiy battle such as this about them,
with its indecorous vehemence and fury, but
nerves to create doubt whether the sectarian
bodies possess the true idea of religion or not.
We would earnestly suggest to all the
bnrcbes, Protestant and Catholic, that their
disputes and bickerings are quite as vulgar
and distasteful in the public eye as those of
iiicividuals, and that, if Buch things must be,
tbey keep them in future carefully out of
rol ice. When they come voluntarily before
the world, let it be solely on their Master's
errand to teach men to deal justly, love
mercy, and walk, humbly with their God.
SENATOR SUMNER'S GREAT SPEECH.
t Vom the A. F. World.
The throng of eager listeners who filled
every seat and every inch of standing room in
the benate chamber attests the futility of
General Grant's persecution of the distin
guished benator of Massachusetts. Long
before tbe commencement of his speeoh, the
ladies' gallery bloomed with Dew bonnets and
more interesting faces; the diplomatic gallery
was tqually full and splendid; even the re
porters' gallery bad a sprinkling of ladies; the
gentlemen's gallery was crowded to suffoca
tion; members of the House were wedged in
among Senators on the floor; the cloak-room
was occupied; and multitudes hung about the
doors and lobby, like swarming bees upon a
bive. The proscribed orator had reason to
be proud of a spectacle which showed how
vain and abortive is tne executive attempt to
Disgrace and crush him.
The speech, which we published in full, is
remarkable for the perspicaity of its state
ments, the decorum of its language, and the
redundant sufficiency of its proofs. It has,
i o doubt, like most of Mr. Sumner's elabo
rate efforts, the fault of prolixity, which de
tracts considerably from its oratorical merits.
Mr. Sumner's habits of research are an im
pediment to bis eloquenoe. Instead of the
rapidity, compression, aud fervor which be
long to the very highest order of publics
speaking he encumbers himself with a msi
of raw materials which he exhibits in their
crude state without working them up into a
finished fabric His ample quotations from
recent documents could not bave been
spared or abridged, as they are the proofs
which support his indiotment; but his diffuse
repetitions of their substance were needless,
their bearing and effect being too obvious to
miss appreciation. His accumulated citations
from books of international law, as they teach
nothing new, might have been spared. A
clear statement of the prinoiple they are
brought forward to prove would have been
sufficient, as nobody whose opinion deserves
any respect was likely to dispute the doctrine.
Abridgment and condensation would have im
proved the speech as a work of art, and have
made it more effective as an appeal to the
popular judgment.
It is, however, in its main positions, con
vincing and unanswerable, showing even
more skill-in the selection of topics than in
their treatmeut. With a reticence and dia
cretion which reflect credit on the soundness
of bis judgment, Mr, Sumner forbears to
discuss the question whether the acquisition
of Santo Domingo is In itself desirable, al
though he does not conceal his opinion that
it is not. He strikes directly at tbe vulner
able points of eieneral urant's negotiations,
and makes out so clear and strong a case as
to preclude the possibility of any effective
reply. He convicts the administration of
flagrant, scandalous violations of publio duty.
establishing bis accusations by the written
testimony of its own agents and the authen
tic orders of the Navy Department.
Nothing could be more opportune than hia
selection of the time for the delivery of this
crushing speech. Ihe Santo Domingo Com
mission will return to Washington just when
Mr. Sumner's scathing exposure is the reign
ing sensation, and their report will sail in the
wake of a speech which must break and nullify
its influence. Iheir glowing account of the
fertility and resources of the island will be re
garded as an impertinence by a publio which
is palpitating with indignation at the ma-
chmeiy of menace and intimidation set in
motion by General Grant. It will be like a
description of the surpassing beauty of a
set of diamonds which a thief has undertaken
to steal. They might be desirable ornaments
if honestly obtained; but scorn cf the intended
theft precludes any interest in the question
of their value. It is more important that the
national honor should be maintained, and the
Constitution upheld, than that we should
acquire half of an island in the Caribbean
Sea about whioh the oountry never cared a
straw until General Grant forced it upon
public attention.
Mr. Sumner shows that, since the inception
of this scheme, the President has kept the
greater part of our effective vessels of war
stationed in the waters and hovering about
the shores of Santo Domingo, as a means of
influencing the negotiations. The object of
this system of menaoe and terror is to uphold
the usurper Baez, who tis plotting to sell hia
country, and to maintain him in power
against tbe wishes of the Dominican people,
'lbe evidence advanced by Mr. Sumner on
this chief head of accusation is conclusive and
irresistible. The unprincipled usurper Baez
has been kept in power for the last eighteen
months by the intimidating presence of
the United States navy in Dominican waters,
and the open threats of our naval
flicer8. The bare fact that a dozen of our
most heavily armed vessels have been sta
tioned in Dominican waters is, of itself, even
wit bout any explanatory documents, damning
evidence of unjustifiable coercion. Why
sLould tbe best part of the American navy be
concentrated around that island ? We have
hardly any commerce in its ports; we ha7e no
merchant vessels there to be protected; we
bave no interest in the anuirs of the lslaad
beyond the factitious intertst of annexation,
A great naval force has been kept there for
tLe tole purpose of mtiuiidation. m z
wlose history Mr. Sumner sketches, aud
whose character he poitras with trathful
coloring and scornful eloquence, was tho only
ruler through whom annexation was possible
and the navy of the United States has beeu
prostituted to maintaiu biui in
power against the detestation of
tbe D.minicfau people. What light
bad President Grant to use the navy for suo'i
a purpose? None whatever; and bis lnt'uii
oahiig iuterfeier.ee with the domestic affair
'f a foreign people is as gross a violation of
in Cons'itntion as it is or international law

mentis there Las been no freedom of uution
in either end of the Island. The Haytlen Pre-
aiotnt nas been Insolently bullied by Rear-
Admiral Poor, and threatened with vengeanoe
if any of his vessels should be found
in Dominican waters, or if his Gov
ernment should attempt to thwart the ac
quisition of the other end of the island
by the United States. This unrighteous and
unseemly display of lnsolenoe, arroganoe,
and force is a national disgraoe; and it is not
only depicted by Mr. Sumner in strong and
vivid colors, but, what Is more to the par
pose, it is proved by an accumulation of evi
dence which defies all contradiction. One
of the chief witnesses is Baboock himself,
the little incompetent fool, and tool of
General Grant, who negotiated the rejeo'ed
treaty. Another important witness is Mr.
Hatch, a respectable American citizen who
waa kept in prison by Baez on false charges
lest his truthful exposures should defeat the
project of annexation. Other antbentio
proofs consist of the scandalous
orders Issued by the Navy
Department to officers in the West
Indies. Unless Mr. Sumner baa forged the
documents from which he quotes (whioh
nobody will believe), the evidence ' against
General Grant is absolutely overwhelming.
He has usurped powers which belong only to
Congress. He has violated the most im
portant, and sacred principles of interna
tional law. Whatever may be the value of
Santo Domingo, its acquisition by such
methods would revolt tbe national sense of
justice and be an indelible stain on the na
tional honor.
DISRUPTION OF TnE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
From the N. T. Herald.
The able speech of Mr. Sumner in the
Senate on the St. Domingo question may not
be exactly the last nail in the coffin of Gen
eral Grant s administration and the radical
party, though it will go far to seal the fate of
one or both. Rarely haa there been delivered
in the halls of Congress a speech marked with
as much ability or carrying more important
political consequences in its train. Though
a long one, it is terse, argumentative, states
manlike, and confined to the subject embraced
in the resolution submitted by the Senator.
He did not discuss the general question of
annexation or others bearing upon the merits
of that, and only makes a few incidental re
marks to show that he is not favorable to ths
scheme, but he attacks the admin
istration in the severest manner for
usurpation of power and unlawful em
ployment of tbe forces of the United States
in a foreign country and to uphold a foreign
usurper. . He proves by incontrovertible evi
denceand that taken mostly from the otnotal
acts and records of the Government that the
President has, in the language of the resolu
tion, without excuse or apology for interfe
re nee, resorted to belligerent intervention
and acts of war on the coasts of the island of
St. Domingo after the failure of the, Domini
can treaty in the benate, and that thia waa
unauthorized violence, utterly without sup
port in law or reason, and prooeeded directly
from that kingly prerogative which is dis
owned by tbe Constitution of tbe United
States. In fact, Mr. Sumner makes out a oase
for impeachment of a much more serious
nature than that worked up against President
Johnson. There need be no fear that General
Grant will be impeached, however, except in
a political sense, and no one desires to see
him brought to trial in any other way; for his
errors, grave as they may have been, arise
from his ignorance of publio affaics, his mill
tary education and the misohievoua influences
around him, more than from a laok of patriot
ism or clenire to be a usurper.
The evidence adduced by Mr. Sumner cor
roborates what our correspondent with the St
Domingo Commission stated as to the usurpa
tion, tyranny, and precarious condition of tbe
Baez Government and tbe armed intervention
of the United States to keep Baez in power.
Indeed, it is doubtful if the commissioners
will ventnre to deny this, favorable aa may be
their report for annexation, and as muoh aa
they may desire to help General Grant out of
this St. Domingo dilemma. Mr. Sumner
might bave used stronger arguments against
annexation, though he could hardly have made
more forcible ones against the conduct of the
administration, had he not been trammelled
by his negro sympathies. No American un
biassed by radical negroism and blessed
with common sense could desire the incorpo
ration into our political and social life of suoh
a debased and semi-barbarous population aa
that of St. Domingo. The annexation of that
island, or the Dominican portion of it, could
not, for many reasons, be of any advantage
to the United States. It would lead, in all
probability, to a "dance of blood, to use Mr.
Sumner's graphic expression, and to a great
cost. The native people could not be brought
to cultivate the soil to much profit, the whites
of our own race could not till the earth under
a burning tropical sun, the immigration of
colored races would hardly be practicable,
and if practicable, whether of Chinese or
others, tbey would not be a desirable ele
ment in our social and political life. No;
St. Domingo would be an utter failure in
our bands, and the American people would
become so disgusted with the experiment
that tbey would turn their laoea
against any tropical acquisition, however
valuable, for a long time to oome,
let wtl have a destiny to faltl
to the southward of our present limits. But
let us begin with the oountries on our border
or that lie near to us with Mexioe, that is
so rich, or with Cuba, which haa a vast pro
duction, large commerce, great cities, rail
road', telegraphs and all the elements of
. civilization. Let us not commence at a dis
tance and on tbe outer verge of the Antilles
to take In a wilderness and a race of negroes
that are fast going back to barbarism. The
scheme of annexing St. Domingo is visionary
and impolitic every way, and must be un
popular with the people of the United States,
General Grant has made a serious mistake in
this matter, and one that is doing muoh to
break up the Republican party.
We bave been disposed to sustain General
Grant on account of the services he rendered
the country in the war, and believing he waa
honest, having hope at the same time that
with experience he would show some oapacity
I or statesmanship; nut he has failed, sua we
see little else but blunders both in our do-niL-tlio
and foreign affairs. Publio sentiment
in eviry direction, and even in New England,
the slrorgLoldof radical Republicanism, is
tuinirg aainht him. At the very time the
tit'e of publio opinion was thus turning, aa
cUaily shown by the elections, the President
quaneiled end attempted to whip into big

n,tai i.r s wuu air. oumner, the icremost man
in the Senate and one of the oldest and most
effi(int men that built up the party
which pnt Mm in the Whitfl House. We see
the iu.mtdi.-te result, though we have not yet
st en an the consequences of this mistake.
Tbt n look at tLe wretched failure of ths ad

political, and industrial revolution they had
passed through, that within a year or two
tbey rained again hundreds of millions worth
of surplus produce. Their peaoeful industry
and energy under suoh oironmstances were
astonishing and called forth the admiration
of the world. But the administration kept
its heavy band still on this people, refused
them amnesty or encouragement, and indi
rectly fomented disorder to serve a base politi
cal purpose. VY hatever Kn-klax crimes there
may be in tbe South and we have no doubt
they are greatly exaggerated for political effect
in the North nave resulted from the misera
ble and heartless policy of the administration
and tbe radical party, if we look at the
financial administration and measures of the
Government we see nothing bnt blunders; no
statesmanship, and every act direoted to the
one end of sustaining the New England
policy of protection. Tbe whole financial
policy has been contracted, sectional, to favor
the few and to burden the many. Ueneral
Grant's administration through all its course
is now weighed in the balance and is found
wanting. Though the masses of our people
are conservative and slow to move, they are
fast coming to this conclusion.
If the Democrats be wise, they may pront
by the failures and mistakes of the adminis
tration and tbe radicals. Never bad a great
party a finer opportunity. Let them ignore
the old, dead issues of the past, aocept with
out reserve the changes effected by the war
and in the Constitution, advocate reduction
of taxation to the lowest point, cut down the
extravagant expenditures that remain as rem
nants of the war and give the country that
grand position ameng the nations of the
world that belongs to it, and there will
be a fair prospect open for the next Presi
dency. The people anxiously look for a
restoration of the good old times when they
had an economical Government, when looal
institutions and liberty were respected, when
military rule was never thought of or bayo
nets seen at the polls. The Democrats have
been a powerful "pa'ty and governed well.
The people seem disposed to try them again.
The radicals never comprehended the true
theory of our Government. Even the cohesive
power of the publio Treasury cannot hold
them together any longer. The Democrats
have the prize within their roaoh if they know
bow to use their opportunity.
