Who cares what England says ? It is time for the United States of America to cut loose from old-world leading strings, and to scorn, as well as defy, the criticisms of European fogyism. This country is big enough, strong enough and rich enough to be above the con ventionalities 'in politics, diplomacy and affairs in general, that are preached by the comparatively petty powers of Europe. Es pecially is it insolent in the little nati m of Great Britain to be advising us as to what we should or should not do. It is also especially puerile that we Americans should appear to have such a deferential respect for the opin ions of thepeople,the press and the politicians of England. Every good American citizen should bear in mind that the greatest historical glories of his country were achieved in opposition to the views of Englishmen. The independence declared in 1.776 did not, we remember, re ceive English approval. The recognition of it, some years liter, was given under protest, and with many knowing doubts as to its pro priety. The Republican form of government adopted by our forefathers was regarded by the British as a mistake. The war we made in 1812, to resist British arrogance, was like wise•declared to be a fatal mistake. Every important step in the career of our govern ment has been pronounced a blunder by the very best English authorities. A , the time of its occurrence, the worst blunder of all was our resistance to the slave. holders' rebellion. Since its triumphant sup pression, in defiance of English theories and English aid, we .have been going on in-a series , of blunders, the aggregate of which should have made ours the most degraded, impoverished and worthless of all the nations of the earth. " Very decidedly this is not our case. 'Our country has thriven by its con tinued violations of all the theories and all the connselof the very highest English authorities on the soience of government. On general principles, an impartial specta tor belonging to another and greater planet. looking on at the little affairs of this small world, would say that the blunders and fail ures were on the side of Europe; the truths and the successes on the aide of America. In one century or less, a huge and almost un populated continent has become the seat of the mightiest nation in the world, whose growth, every year, is so rapid as to bewilder any one that may attempt to speculate upon its future. During the same time the old nations of Europe have nearly maintained their gene ral.positiona relative to one another. But after all, 'this new, parvenu, democratic power in America, towards which much of the best as well as much of the worst mate rial of Europe gravitates, has become the great power of the earth. The rivalries of France, England, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Spain and Italy go on, and the little jealousies of each and the little difficulties of all afford texts for young American writers who study modern politics in the light of an cient history. But infinitely above all these , and all their quarrels, which their public men and joqualists magnify into affairs of univer sal importance, is the steady, persistent, irre sistible, unguided, uncontrolled and un controllable.growth of the American Repub lie. There is nothing in the recorded his tory of the earth that can be fikirly contrastid with this. The discovery made by Colum bus was a-violation of existing theories. Tim reennt developments in the world he discov ered are still greater violations. There are, in the treatises of past ages, unnumbered maxims against the American system, or want of system, in law, politics, religion and philosophy in general. Bat somehow, the American nation has grown, in spite of all its disregard of the books. Middle-aged people, who thought themselves, a few years ago,cit izens of a third or fourth-rate country. flan themselves now belonging to a nation which is feared as well as respected all over the world, and which is really, in all the sub stantial elements of strength, superior to the proudest nation of Europe. We have national reverses and political nuisances now and then, which act as useful brakes upon the exceptional progress of the country. The alaveholders' rebellion was one and Andrew Johnson was another. Yet they have not sensibly retarded our national growth; indeed •many think it has been ac celerated under snob apparent adversities,and certainly the moat enthusiastic advocate of American republicanism could not have pre dicted or desiredosorerapid growth in wealth .and strength that ours has been in the past .elght years. We are making a new political .system which nullifies all past theories. No one knows much about this system beyond the fact that it is uvikat Abraham Lincoln, in hisiraost inspired moment, called "Govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people." It is the people, tinder Providence, whose power is developing on this continent. All ,the treatises of the nations of Europe on government, civil and ecclesiastical, which have been quoted against the American system, were founded •on the idea of monarchism and the degradation of the people. The English have, insenSibly, and sometimes seemingly sgalm3l their iwill, been adopting our ideas, and t h ey are -Firs,, , lually becoming American ized in politics. I. l nt the more they wander from their old system, the less are their writers to be t rea t e d It o authorities on national Whirs. This country is Creating a new system, which even England is e.'udYiug with a view „,,,.:31 . , - , - 4,7” .., •,-,,..,,y,,,,,,......,H.Z;t4,:tA. to its adoption, while her writers appear to scorn us. Let us turn the scorn upon them It is an excessive weakness, on the part of' many of our;public men and journalists, to be noxious for the 'approval of England in every thing we do. We were old enough to do without the approval of Englmid a century ago. She is a stupid Mrs. Grundy, about whose thoughts and sayings we can afford now to be entirely indifferent. • WIRE ISBN sera. The Senate of the United States is evi - dently in a transition period. The infusion of new blood, in the persons of quite a num ber of the Senators who have just taken their seats, is very marked, and is evidently des tined to make a great change in the relations of the Senate. The bold and powerful maiden speeches of Senators Carpenter, Scott and Scburz indicate a high degree of intel lectual ability and political independence, and many of the older members of the Senate will be compelled to relinquish their positions of leadership, unless they can retain them by some better claim than that of mere tradi tional precedence. The speech of Carl Schurz on the Tenure of Office bill marks an era in the debates of the Senate. Its unimpeachable courtesy is blended with such a downright assertion of lofty principles and with such a bold freedom of thought and opinion as to make it certain that Senator Schurz is to be ranked at once among the leaders of, the Senate. He struck deep at the roots of the whole question of the tenure of office, when he argued with great force and truth that the evil with which Congress has to deal lies beyond and far deeper than the relations of the Senate to the appointing power of the Government. Mr. Schurz looks to the Civil Service bill as the great remedy for our pre sent corrupt system of office seeking and holding; and he is unquestionably right in his position. He advocates a suspension of the Tenure of Officelaw, instead of its repeal, because he believes, with good reason, that the next session of Congress will modify the lair in accordance with the principles of the Civil Service bill. There are two classes of men now in the nited States Senate. One class is devoting itself to the grand business of office-hunting It is worrying itself and the President over the important question of the precise amount of liberty which the Executive shall enjoy in carrying out his purposes of economy and reform. The Senate has a voice, undoubt • edly, in the appointments of the President, but it is a power which it holds in its collec tive, not at all in its individual capacity. "By and with the advice and consent of the Senate," is the charter by which this appoint ing power is shared with the Presi dent. But this does not satisfy the office-hunting class of the Senate. These Senators wish to deny to the President all original appointing power. They wish to divide this original power among themselves. They wish to make the appointments through the President as their agent and month-piece. They say, in effect, that they will confirm no man, even though personally acceptable to themselves, if,the President names him at the instance of any one but themselves. Mr. Moore's nomination as Collector of this Port is a striking illustration of the attitude this class of the Senators. The nomina tion was made by the Pres.dent from hie own knowledge of its entire fitness. The name or Mr. Moore was taken from among the seve ral names presented by the Congress men representing nine tenths of the in terests of the Philadelphia Custom House, but it was sent in without the consent of Mr. Cameron or Mr. Stott. Both of these gen tlemen are friendly to Mr. Moore. Both know his worth. Both know how accept able his appointment is, not only to the Re publican party, but to the whole business community. But it is understood that they make a stand upon this punctilio, and insist that the President had no right to make the appoint ment without consulting them. It is not to be inferred that this is an act of hostility to Mr. Moore, but only a tribute to what is held to be a prerogative of the Senate. If the Senate has such a prerogative, which may well be doubted, there would be a generous grace in waiving it, in such metes this, at least in the very outset of President •Grant's adminis tration. There is another class in the Senate which does not regard the dristribution of patronage as the chief end of a Senator of the United States; and the future popularity and influ ence of Senators is certain to be measured according to the distinctness with which they range themselves in this class. The people of America are studying politics now, as they studied war, a little while ago, with an ear nest intelligence that rapidly shapes itself into action; and men are to stand and fall, here after, just as they prove themselves worthy or unworthy of the people's confidence. Sena tors who build their houses upon the sands of political favoritism, will realize the old ruin of all such builders; while those who rely upon the good name which comes from a faithful discharge of duty, and a repudiation of the low arts and tricks of the mere trading politician,will find that they have"builded on the rock." Between rebellion at borne and revolution in Cuba, Marshal Serrano and hie colleagues in the Spanish government find that their as sumption of power brings with it unexpected difficulties and perplexities, for the settlement of which the wisest statesmanship will be re quired. Popular sentiment in Spain de manded that an effort of the sturdiest kind should be made to retain Cuba; and in pur suance of this design the Spanish army was depleted to reinforce General Dulce and his volunteers in Cuba. As the borne forces were already at their minimum, and the country was filled with factions ready to break forth in violent rebellion at any hour, conscription was resor ed to to recruit the ranks. This caused fresh discontent, and excited one province to actual revolt; and the government in its distress is considering the propriety of repealing the conscription law. This is the very beet thing to do, un less the monarchists wish to strengthen the bands 'of the Republicans, and increase the harsh feelings with which the common people of Spain now regard the revolutionary government. If this is followed by the with drawal of the Spanish troops from Cuba, the i!M===i= THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN --PH \ L ADELP HI A , MONDAY, result will be more initisfactorilif the to the monarehical 'party,.

The Baltimore American of Saturday has the following e ship Tabor, Captain Otis, cleared at this port last Saturday for Yokahama, Japan, with 1,920 tons of coal, and on Monday sailed, to complete loading in Annapolis Road. The crew r artion th ereof, were shipped by Messrs. Fo er Pri ce, of Thames street, and a number of the sailors were taken down to the steam-tug Mary Rhaw, and placed on board the ship on Thursday. 'They , were put to work, bat In a very abort time showed a mutinous spirit, when ordered to secure the capstan bars. A number of men, with sheath.knices drawn, rushed on the first mate while on or r ear the forecastle The mate (Kr. Rich) kept them at bay, an, discharged several barrels of his re volver, severely wounding two of the ringleaders, named Thomas Payne and George Robertson, This had the effect of causing the mutineers to retreat, and towards evening the officers of the ship, twisted by Mr. Price, who at the commencement of the affair had endeavored to persuade th> mon to resume their work, succeeded in putting the two wounded mutineers, as also another sailor. named John gums, on board the tag, to be brought to thin city. While coming up the bay, Barns and one of the others (Robertson) went to the evgine-roorn, but were ordered away by the fire man, Benjamin Adams,whoni they knocked down,and would have probably killed, but for the timely assist ance of the engiseer, Mr. Brock, who succeeded in wresting from Robertson the knife in his hand. In the struggle Adams had one of hie wrists severely cat with the knife of his assailant, who was bending over him at tho tithe. - The United Sta e crate cutter Northerner,Captain John TtfcGow , red in sight, and Lieutenant Travers, with a sufficient number of men, went on board the tug, on receiving information of the mutinv,and secured the guilty partlea,who were brought to this city the same night, and lodged in the Eastern Police Station for safe keeping until the next morning.

Sherman has entirely revolutionized the way of doing thing 6 in the War Department, and is instituting vigorous economical measures. Hereto.ore the various bureaus have been prac tically independent, and the Adjutants, Commissary; and Quatermasters Gen eral have been in the habit of issuing orders relating to their bureau on their own responsibility without even consulting the General-in-Chief or the Seretary of War. No order of any sort is now allowed to go out without having first passed/ under Sherman's eye. General Sherman illus trates the necessity of this by saying it has often happened heretofore, that supplies have been accumulated at a great expense at dis tant stations from which troops were about to be removed, which could not have happened but fire Bureau contract system in vague.

Rear Admiral Hoff forwards voluminous re ports from Commander Abbott, of the Yantic,of the progress of the revolution in Hayti. Com mander Abbott reports, under date of Feb. 10th, that the Yantic left Port an Prince on the ad of that month for Aux Cayes, finding there on arri val the British war steamer Jason and a few for eign merchant vessels. The town was besieged by Sainave's land forces, the inhabitants Siting in considerable excitement and alarm. Domingues remained at Aux Cayes, determined on making a vigorous resistance. On Feb. 4th, the Ilaytien flagship, with Salnave on board, came into the harbor and anchored, and on the next day Salnave sent, through the Yantic, notices to the different for eign consuls and the inhabitants of Aux Cayes, announcing his determination to attack the town at 3.30 A. M., thenext day, unless surrendered be fore. When the town was first invested by Sal nave's troops, a number of the people,principally non-combatants, sought and obtafned refuge on merchant vessels in the harbor, and when Sainave's announcement was made, the number greatly increased. The foreign consulates were also overcrowded with refugees. On the evening of the 4th, Do mingstes, Secretary of State, requested an asylum on board the Yantis, which was relined, but he was sent on board a Norwegian bark. On the afternoon of February 6th, presuming that the bombardment would take place, the merchant vessels, with the assistance of the Jason and 'Entitle, removed from the anchorage to a safer pert of the bay. The threatened bombardment did not take uiace,however,and had not commenced when the Yantic sailed on Feb. Bth. The President and Ad miral were unwilling to begin the attack until the arrival of the Salnave, which was hourly expected. An - Interview was had by our officers with Sal nave, with regard to the,protection of American interests and the disposition of refugees. The President was wiling to do all he could to protect the neutral interests,and would allow the refugees, who were crowding the Merchant V6B - in such a manner ea to seriously endanger life, either to go to Acquit', the nearest place under Salnave's authority, or to'return to' shoes, and a majority Chose the `latter. • Oneldiniater also had anether interview, with the rebel Chief Domingue and his Cabinet, but no pacific ar rangements could be made • with them, as they appeared determined to defend the town as long as j)eselble. Domingne paid he , had written to Mr. Seward, offering to annex to the United States that part of the island under his control, and requested the Minister to use the power of the United States to prevent Salnave from bombarding the town until Mr. Seward's reply was received. This was, of course, decidedly refused. On the morning of Feb. 6th, our Minister, the captain of the Jason, and Commander Abbott had ,an interview with Ramo, Demingue's princitial adviser and Secretary of the Interior. and ac quainted him with 'the offer made by the Captalu of the Jason, to convey Domingue his Cabinet and principal , officers thirty miles in the direction of Jamaica. , Tide offer was made from metives of la/inanity, with Salnave's con sent, but was declined. Atir. Cayes is defended on the seaside by' three - oar four batteries, each mounting one of two guns. Commander Abbott Was informed at Anx Cayes by the Hayden Adealral that the Mount Vernon was'repented to have arrived at St. Marks for the use of the rebels. , The above reports include a copy of a memorandum Of military executions made by the rebel authoritiee at AuxCayes,signed by Parties who are certified to by James DeLong, United States Consul, as being wrathy of full faith and credit. The details recount many acts of barbarity. The signers state among other matters that when the men engaged in the revo bitten desert the rebels, their wives are im prisoned and in many instances shot.
