| have mentioned, is to be hereditary; and the |° ® reputation as durable as that of Single Speech Hamilton, of the British House of Commons. But the sensation which his first speech made tempted him to make a second, which had neither beginning, body nor tail. Everybody listened to it, but nobody could make out what the young Senator was driving at. Mr. Sprague himself seemed to have only & vague purpose of sloshing around generally. “His vain endeavors to get into the heart of his subject resembled those of the pig that ‘tried to squirm through a Virginia worm fence Into a cornfield, but always came out on the same side as that from which he started. A third and desperate onslaught, preceded by ‘auch @ beating of gongs and such a series of somersaults as might have sufficed to rout an -entire Chinese army, served but to reassure ‘the alarmed leaders of the radical party, and vlogs within rings everywhere began to revolve ‘securely, recovering from the temporary check which they had received. After the second and after the third explosion of Senatorial ‘wrath against prevalent political, financial and social wrongs, the gallery, like the dlasé Eng- ‘Tish tourist who looked down into the crater of Vesuvius, ‘could see nothing in it.” Undaunted, however, the doughty champion of Rhode Island and of reform announces his intention of publishing his recent speeches in pamphlet form for distribution throughout the country. Perhaps if Mr. Sprague were to make a fourth speech, in which he should grapple firmly with all the great questions alluded to by him in his first speech, and, solving them satisfactorily, lay down a definite policy to be pursued by the government and the people of the United States, he might very advantageously embody his views in a pam- phlet worthy of general circulation. As it is, ‘we must remind him that even speeches so effective as those of Sheridan at the trial of Warren Hastings seem to have lost their fire and force when put into print, if we may judge from the brief passages in them that ‘were printed. We cannot advise Mr. Sprague to risk his reputation as a sensational orator by becoming a pamphleteer; but we cannot ‘hinder him from rushing into print. The ‘@erenade tendered to him by the workingmen of the District of Columbia is an indication of the popularity which the community at large ‘will readily accord to him if he can carry out the programme of reform outlined in the first of his recent speeches. Let him try again. He may improve and become the great re- former of the time, and he or his father-in-law may, on this platform, be the coming man for 1872. The Labor Question. We congratulate Mr. Wendell Phillips upon having discovered a new theme, broader and deeper than the system of negro slavery, against which he has so persistently and suc- cessfully waged war with all his extraordinary powers of arousing public attention. The dabor question really underlies all the ques- tions that float on the surface of contemporary ‘iscussion. Its overwhelming importance has wery recently been attested by professions of personal interest in the welfare of the working classes on the part of the Emperor of the French, and also by the special care which the English historian Froude took to dwell upon ‘the requisite provisions for their education in his eloquent inaugural address as rector of the University of St. Andrews. Mr. Wendell Phillips, in addressing recently the commit- tee appointed by the Massachusetts Legisla- ture to investigate the hours of labor, estimated the earnings of the laboring classes in our country at two billions annually. This fact certainly demands the attention of legislation to their interests. The tendency, particularly apparent since the war, of legislating for the rich and the poor as independent classes can- not be too much deprecated. As an immediate result the rich are growlng richer and the poor poorer. The growing evil of separate educa- tion for the children of the rich involves both to them and to the children of the poor the loss of the mutual benefit of early contact aad seriously impairs the interest of our wealthier citizens in the public schools. Mr. Phillips exaggerates, if not the daty, at least the power of the republican party to secure the rights of the laboring people. To accomplish this is the exclusive prerogative of no political party whatever, But undoubtedly a great problem of American statesmanship is to make corpo- rations consistent with American institutions, “The great question of the future is co-opera- ‘tion, to which we must come sooner or later.” Mr. Phiilips prophesies truly that when the time comes in this country that a permanent daboring class shall exist the knell of republi- can institutions will have sounded. Spanish Progress. In the Herap of Thursday we gave in full «ue text of the new constitution submitted to the Cortes on the 20th ultimo by the com- mittee appointed to draw up the same. So far the constitution must be considered a step in the onward and upward direction. Spain is still to be © monarchy. The monarchy, however, is to be limited after the fashion of that of England, The king is to rule by ministers, who, not the king, are to be respon- sible for all executive acts. The power to nominate and dismiss ministers resides in the monarch. Ministers may or may not be mem- bers of either of the legislative bodies ; but if they do not happen to be members of the one body or the other they shall have no right to take part in the discussions of the Cortes. In this, it will be seen, the English rather than the French or the American model has been followed. The two bodies which constitute the Cortes are to be named respectively Senate and Congress. The Congress is to be totally renewed every three years, The Senate is to be renewed by fourth parts every three years. The functions of the two bodies resemble those exercised by the Lords and Commons in England and by the Seuate and House of Representatives in this country. The right to vote in the election of senators, deputies to the Cortes, provincial deputies and coun- cillors is to belong to every Spaniard in full possession of his civil rights. Civil liberty generally is guaranteed by the projected con- stitution, The religion of the nation is to be Roman Catholic, the nation obliging itself to maintain the worship and the ministers of the Catholic faith, Spaniards and foreigners pre- | forring any other religion are to be guar- anteed the right fo worship ‘‘without other limitations than the universal rules of morals and of right.” The monarchy, we ought to NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET. ‘succession to the throne will follow the regu- lar rules of primogeniture, “glwayn preferring the nearest lines, in the same line always pre- ferring the male to the female, and in the eame sex the oldest to the youngest.” Trial by jury, it may be added, is established for all political and common offences. In the projected constitution there is not much to find fault with. It looks well enough on paper, Constitutions, however, are much more easily manufactured than reduced to practice. Spain manufactured quite as good 4 constitution as this before; but the attempts made respectively in 1836, in 1820 and in 1812 to graft free institutions upon that people were failures all. The reformers bestowed upon their country the forms of constitutional government; but the traditions and the habits of liberty were wanting, and, consequently, the first stroke of adverse fortune brought the idol to the dust. We are willing to hope bet- ter things for this fresh effort; but we cannot say we are sanguine that Spain is just yet to take her place among the free and enlightened nations of theearth. All true liberty, like all true progress, is won by slow and steady advances. With such a process Spain has not yet shown herself familiar. General Foote and Andy Jehnson. The inexhaustible Andy Johnson has taken the stump in Tennessee in defence of his defunct administration, his exploded policy and the constitution, and they say that in this volunteer labor of love, sink or swim, he intends to swing round the circle of the Southern States. In the very outset, how- ever, he has found his match in the inex- tinguishable General H. S. Foote, late a member of the rebel Congress from Tennessee, making the fur fly from the back of Jeff Davis ; before that a Senator in the United States Congress from Mississippi, and before that Governor of that State; and everywhere, and at all times, and in all places, in season and out of season, an irrepressible and inexhaus- tible speaker and letter writer, and ready to fight for his principles hefore breakfast, swords, pistols, shotguns or rifles. And this formi- dable adversary, who can spout Greek and Latin by the yard, has tackled Andy Johnson, which makes it bad for Andy. We say bad, because Andy is not a logician, nor a linguist, nor a lawyer, while Footeis all three, and so, in a running discussion, even on the constitu- tion, he can twist Johnson round his finger. A pound of Foote’s facts, authorities and arguments is worth a ton of Johnson's empty declamation. We must say, too, that we are glad to hear that Foote has tackled Johnson, because we think that Foote is the man to settle Johnson and send him back to Green- ville; and we desire this settlement because we have had enough of Johnson, yea of both Johnsons—Andy Johnson and Reverdy Johnson. If the first broadside of Foote does not bring down Andy let the second be given him, well seasoned with Greek and Latin, and that will fetch him. ae The Darien Canal Treaty. An inclination has been shown at the execu- tive session of the Senate to handle the ship canal treaty very much as the Alabama claims treaty was treated on Tuesday, and truly it merits this treatment. Strong speeches were made uyulust it. The chief ob- jection urged was that ‘‘it binds the United States to construct the canal and does not give any corresponding monopoly or proprietary right to control it.” There isa point, how- ever, that the Senate does not yet consider, and that is that New Granada possesses no right to seize upon the advantageous position of her territory to levy tolls upon the com- merce of the world. In the first place, she never explored, does not hold and cannot govern the isthmus she makes the subject of a treaty which affects the trade interests of every nation on the globe, New Granada is in much the position of some robber baron of the Middle Ages who levied toll for the transit of every- thing that passed his stronghold towards a neighboring State. To us it appears farcical that Europe, Asia and the United States should be forced to pay tribute under such circumstances. A petty and semi-civil- ized people, in a constant revolutionary broil, wish to levy a large tax for a hundred years upon the balance of the world, and at the con- clusion of that period have the canal turned over to them, that they may control all com- merce. There is but one method of dealing with this question, and that is upon the broad interna- tional one of the uninterrupted right of transit over the territory of any people whose geo- graphical position offers an opportunity for cheap and rapid intercourse between two or more nations. It is common law that if you own a farm which lies between mine and the public road, cutting me off from it, I have the right of transit across your lands without paying you for the privilege. Are there no brains in Congress that are capable of applying this principle to the ®arien Canal question? If we make a blunder about Panama it will cause us infinite trouble, expense and perhaps war to correct our mistakes; for the princi- ples we apply there will be used as a prece- dent in several other very important cases we might mention.

LonpoN, April 16—3 A. M. In the House of Commons to-night, tn accordance with the notice previously given, Mr. Gladstone moved that the House go into committee on the bill for thé disestablishment of the Irish Church. Mr. Newdegate(conservative). member for North Warwickshire, moved as an amendment that the House go into committee on the bill in six months from the present day, This motion was equivalent wan indefinite postponement. A lively debate fol- lowed, during which Mr. R. S. Aytoun, member for Kirkaldy, created a sensation by declaring his ob- Jections to that clause in the bill which provided for the support of Maynooth College. Mr. Aytoun is a liberal ana voted with the majority in the division on March 23, when the bill passed to its second read- ing. His declaration was followed by a scene of great excitement inthe House, The opposition cheered repeatedly and counter-cheers and other interrup- tions came from the Ministerial benches, When Mr. Aytoun ended his remarkejthe confusion subsided and debate was continued. Most of the speeches were made by the minor members of the opposition. At the end of this discussion, which lasted six hours, Mr. Gladstone rose and said due care would be given by the government to the terms of the pro- vision made for Maynooth College. He attributed much of the opposition to the bill to the power of the clergy in Iretand. That power had been built up by the old policy of England, which had lately been partially reversed, and was now about to be finally and completely abandoned, He concluded by declaring that the success of this bill was not a question of party, but of justice. Mr. Disraeli followed, He disapproved of a divi- sion on Mr. Newdegate’s motion for postponment, and said he was anxious to go into committec on the bill. The House then divided on the original motion to go into committee on the Irish Church bill, with the following result:— For the motion Majority 126 Tne House then formally went into committee on the bill and adjourned.
