IblittlNOV, OF ENGLAND.
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

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.

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

rebels are making headvraY, and by the adop

true lovers of free institutions: - It is nearly

moral support to ensure their: success abso

surrender this rich prize; tiut they appear to
have their hands full at home, and to need all
their troops to look after domestic rebels; so
the wisest policy - would - be t/a recognize in
Cuba that divine right of revolution to which
Serrano and his friends owe their present ele

Arrest of the !Mutineers.
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.

(From the N. Y. Herald of to
ifllszort 2L—Thete is a lively apprehension in financial
circles as to the course of the money market for the pee
riod to the first week in the ensuing month. Ordinarily
It would be necessary to calculate °idyl° the let pros.
Imo, but the experience hue been en often repeated of
continued etriogeticy for many days beyond the allotted
or expected time that engssements are now made or
declined with reference to this fact Last-year the ac
tivity of money continued a whole month, while
in a more recent instance. in the period
succeeding the hat quarterly statement. nearly ten days
elapsed before the money was returned to the Wake and
circulation in sufficient quantities to reduce the rate of
Interest on call loans to the usual figure. The extent of
the stringency which is looked for at the close of the
present month is varioualy canvassed. Indeed. the sub

(Special Despatch to the Phil& Evening DuiWin.]
WASHINGTON, March 22.—The Republican Sen
ators bad a stormy time in caucus, this morning,
over the Tenure of Office act. Tap debate turned
upon the proposition to suspend it for the whole
of Grant'a term, which was offered. by Mr. Ed
,munds, as a compromise. The majority were
unwilling to accept this. The discussion
was exceedingly animated, and a number of
.speeches were made. As the vote , was about
' being taken, a largo majority appearing to be
in favor of the suspension, )dessrs. Morton,
Grimes, Sprague and others withdrew,Mr. !dor
ton calling it a surrender, but sayin g
he would
not accept it on such terms.
Those remaining inside finally adjourned to
meet agatn at 2 o'clock, nothing having been de

Gen. 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.
ICerreepoodettoe of the Associated Preys'
Wssanseeron, March/2.—ft appears from the
Richmond Whiesit - to-day that several Austrians
s ill arrive next weelc,to settle a few miles below
Richmond. A large thank of Englishmen will
arrive at New York, in April, and arrangements
have been made for an extensive importation of
Germans. Letters have been received from the
Netherlands, Russia, and other European
States, showing that there will soon
bee large immigration to Virginia. Northern
men are also prospecting for settlements.
All the available clerical force at army headq
narterein Richmond was engaged on Saturday in
preparing new appointments for the State,
the time having arrived when
under the law all parties who cannot
take the test oath are to be removed from office.
Among the appointments for the city of Rich
mond is Colonel Egbert, Chief of Police. It is
noted as it curious fact throughout the 'length
and breadth of Virginia, with few and rare ex
ceptione, that no marriage can be solemnized be ,
cause of the removal of clerks.
The Senate Republican caucus held an ani
mated session of two hours, this morning, con
sidering the Tenure-of-Office question. No de
cision was reached, and the caucus will re-assem
bfe at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Messrs. Morton,
'Grimes and Sprague and several others, ad
vocates of total repeal, withdrew before the
adjournment, refusing to be bound
by caucus decisions. A large proportion of the
members participated in the discussion, and it is
said to have become apparent that the law will
either be repealed or suspended until the 4th of
March, 1873, the proposition for suspension until
next December being generally abandoned.
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.
