Tae Guxtie SavaGes oF ARizoNa.—The Arizona Indians are again practising those innocent amusements peculiar to the noble sons of the forest which an effete civilization has long sought to deprive them of. A party of prospectors was attacked near Tucson, two white men killed, one scalped, his legs burned off, his heart cut out and a coal of fire placed in it. The cold-blooded White soldiers at Camp Grant, not appreéciatiag such pastime, started in pursuit of the redskins and, sur- prising them, killed thirty-five. Tue Department of Docks held a public meeting at their rooms yesterday and heard some well considered suggestions from promi- nent citizens as to the best means of supplying the city with piers and wharves suitable to our magnificent water front. Some of the plans exhibited by practical engineers were some- what elaborately designed to include sewers, basins and even to make an enclosed dock of the whole harbor, Most of them were feasible, however, and all of them offered great advan- tages over the rotten piles that have-disfigured the river front ever since the days of old Peter Stuyvesant, What we want is a plain, sib- stantial system of granite piers, with arches underneath to let the accumulating filth slip through and solid enough to serve as founda- tions for heavy warehouses. Any plan that will compass this end will be acceptable, ‘ ‘ Lv New YORK HERALD, FRYDAY, culminating snd cannot be postpone’? oF ignored indefinitely.

Negro | slavery in the Antilles is doomed, and white | political slavery to European domination there is near its end, The news we refer to from Madrid is that of the vote of the Cortes refusing to abolish slavery, and from Washing- ton the resolutions of Mr. Sumner in the Senate yesterday, declaring the sentiments of the people of the United States concerning Spain and her island colonies lying in Ameri- oan waters, The question relative to emancipating the slaves in the Spanish colonies came up in the Cortes in Committee of the Whole on Sefior Moret’s bill for gradual emancipation. Sefior Castellar proposed an amendment for imme- diate abolition. This amendment was nega- tived by a vote of 78 nays to 48 yeas. Thus the Spanish Cortes has emphatically refused to abolish slavery. The Cortes then adjourned till the 81st of October, and Seiior Moret’s bill was postponed. But while Spain upholds slavery and shows that she is behind the age, the Cubans themselves have abolished the institution as far as their power extends over their native island. Of this there can be no doubt. The twenty-fourth article of the con- stitution of the Cuban republic, which was adopted by the constitutional convention and unanimously approved by the Cuban Congress atGuiamaro on the 10th of April, 1869,declares, “All the inhabitants of the republic of Cuba are absolutely free.” This marked difference between the conduct of the Spaniards, who rule Cuba with a rod of iron, and that of the Cuban patriots on the subject of slavery ought to inspire sympathy and admiration for the brave and liberal Cubans throughout the length and breadth of the American republic as well as throughout the civilized world. It is remarkable that abayt the same time | the Spanish Cortes refused by a decisive vole to abolish slavery Mr. Sumner, without knowing that fact, introduced into the United States Senate resolutions strongly condemna- tory of the existence of that institution in the Spanish colonies and of the atrocious conduct of the war in Cuba. If we mistake not the news from Madrid will have a powerful influ- ence upon Congress when Mr. Sumner’s reso- lutions come up for action. It is gratifying to know that this distinguished Senator and chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has taken sucha bold step in favor both of the emancipation of the negroes in Cuba and the independence of the island. Heisnow following the impulses of his nature and act- ing in accordance with his previous history in too credulous or hope too much from pretended negotiations for the independence or cession of Cuba, The only course to pursue on this subject is for the government to maintain a dignified and firm attitude, and, while it hon- orably observes international obligations, not to forget what is due to publie sentiment, to the cause of republican freedom and to that broad policy which claims America for the Americans, so well expressed in Mr, Sumner's resolutions, General Butler a Failure. We had great hopes of General Butler in Congress after his clever management of the impeachment prosecution against Andy John- son. We thought for some time after that affair that Butler was the man to take the place as ‘‘the great commoner” and leader of the House, left vacant by “Old Thad Stevens.” After a fair trial, however, he must, as an aspirant for this position, be pronounced a fatl- ure. He is a keen lawyer, he has all the points, all the authorities, all the precedents and all the quirks and quibbles of the law at bis fingers’ ends. He proved his efficiency as a lawyer all through the war; and if he was “bottled up” as a soldier it was, perhaps, because he undertook to manage his own army and the army opposed tohimin thé field according to the rules of law laid down by Blackstone as superior to the military ideas of Napoleon, Butier, in short, manceuvred against Beauregard a3 a lawyer, and so Beauregard ‘“‘bottled” him, In Con- gress, however, where solid ability and the tricks of the law and parliamentary strategy and tactics carry the day, we had expected Butler to achieve the first position. Schenck, however, by hard labor and self-possession has got ahead of him; and Bingham, too, always watching for his opportunity, is getting ahead of “the gentlemag from Massachusetts.” 1 we hdve seen, ov8f afd SvéF Again, that in a regular pitched battle in the Houso, or in a sudden skirmish, with sharp-shooters blazing away all round him, Butler, if he can only contrive to keep cool, is equal to the emergency and a match for the best of them. We have seen, however, from time to time, as in the late affair with Farnsworth, that Butler cannot always keep cool; that, in fact, he is too apt to fly off the handle and spoil his case by get- ting into a fit of ridiculous indignation, which trips him up and lays him out fat as a flounder. From this weakness we have been disap- pointed in our “great expectations” of Butler; yea, grievously disappointed. He fails to JUNE 24, 1870.—TRIPLE gia. Mr, Sumner took a new departure in the Senate yesterday from his old course on Cuban affairs, and apparently forgetting his terrors ofa war with Spain and Alabama claims com- plications, presented to the Senate a series of res Olutions declaring the sentiment of the | peop.¢ of the United States concerning the war | in Cuby;, denouncing the barbarities practised | by both parties, and virtually recognizing the belligerent rights of the revolutionists, The resolutions being ‘objected to were laid over and ordered to be printed. John Chinaman is rapidly rising in importance and seems des- tined to occupy the place recently held by the African. The Pacific slopers have ever held him in supreme contempt, and look upon the almond-eyed Celestials as intruders whose labor should not be suffered to come in compe- tition with that of American citizens. Ac- cordingly Mr. Stewart called up ‘the bill to prevent the enforcement of coolie labor con- tracts and urged its passage. Mr. Wilson, having in view the raid recently made upon Massachusetts by the coolies, seconded the Nevada Senator's efforta to stop the tide of Chinese emigration; but the Senate was inex- orable and the bill was postponed. Conside- ration of the bill to reduce taxation was re- sumed, the question being on the sections relating to the income tax, Without voting on this question the bill was laid over until to-day. An evening session of the Senate was held, the Texas-Pacific Railroad being the special order. The bill to provide for the apportionment of representation was taken upin the House and a motion made to concur with the Senate amend- ment increasing the number of members of Congress to three hundred. A very spirited debate ensued, the democratic members, as well as several republicans, favoring a further amendment providing for cumulative voting in the case of additional members elected by general ticket. Another objection to the.bill was sprung by Mr. Scofield, and that was, whether there should be an apportionment oftener than once in ten years, while the pres- ent proposition was for an apportionment once in eight ius The bill was finally referred to the Judiciary Committee, which is equivalent to its defeat. Mr, Butler reported the Georgia bill with a substitute, the same in effect aq the bills for Texas and Virginia, except in rela- tion to the militia, Several substitutes were offered, which, with the bill, were ordered to be printed, and it was agreed that the previous question should be called on the bill at two o'clock to-day.

We accept this despatch as an additional evidence of the mighty things which our mod- ern appliances of civilization are accomplish- ing in the progress of the world—the electric telegraph, which whispers congratulations | and words of kindly hope from ancient India to this young giant of a new hemisphere; the railroad, which unites oceap to ocean, which unites different climates and different popula- tions with an iron band and the master power of steam; the newspaper, which carries the though’ the actions, the failings and the virtues, and pictures of the habits and peculiarities of life of distant peo- ples to and from the furthermost parts of the earth.

Castellar’s amendment to the bill urging immediate emancipation was lost by a vote of forty-eight to seventy-eight. In the course of the debate and in support of his views Castellar delivered one of those bril- Mant orations for which be has become famous and which bave done much to convince many that oratory of the highest kind is not impossi- ble under the régime of the railroad and the telegraph. But Castellar's eloquence was in vain. The government measure has beea carried ; Spain remains branded with the mark of Cain, and the Cortes has adjourned. The failure of the Cortes to come up to the high requirement of the eccasion is unques- tionably a just cause for lamentation and sor- row. We had certainly hoped for better things. But after all what has this Cortes done? Absolutely nothing. It has been said that Prim and his friends have been afraid to bring the throne question before the Cortes for the reason that the members might have cast a strong vote in favor of Don Carlos or Don Alphonso, or perhaps Isabella herself, The servility of the Cortes to the goverament in fore establishing a complete communications} this matter of slavery makes us doubt whether the government has any such independence of spirit to fear. In any case it is now safe to say that the Cortes and the government and the revolution itself have failed, and failed sadly, to satisfy the expectations of mankind. What has Spain gained by this revolution? Whereia is she better than she would have been if Isabella had been still on the throne? Look at her finances. Look at her trade. The workmen are idle. The salaries of the church- men are long overdue. More money is being borrowed. No king is forthcoming. No republic is immediately possible. A more demoralized and, consequently, a.more helpless people never existed. And all this some twenty months after a revolution which startled and gave hope to Europe. It is no longer desirable to suspend judg- ment in the case of Spain. Within there is no power fitted to give her new life. Hope from within herself must now be abandoned. What Spain needs is some strong outside arm to lay hold of her and lead her into new ways. There is no Cmsar, no Cromwell, no Napoleon in Spain. Is it not time that some master should take hold of her from without? The saddest thing in this Spanish affair is that she clings to the cause of all her misery. It was slavery that debauched her. But Spain will not or cannot see it. This last vote may prove her deathkaell. Oy Edward B, Ketchum the Hero of Another Wall Street Sensation. The summer monotony of the Stock- Ex- change was relieved yesterday by a fresh sen- sation with an old actor in the scene. At the beginning of business a broker, acting as the agent of Edward B. Ketchum, announced his declare that the people of the United States cannot hear with indifference the reports of barbarous outrages which reach them con- stantly from the neighboring island of Cuba; that they protest against the repetition of such acts, and, in the name of humanity, they solemnly insist that these things shall cease; that they are pained to hear that the pretension of property in man is still upheld in the island colonies of Spain lying in American waters ; that human beings endowed by nature with the right of life, liberty and pursuit of hap- piness are held as slaves; that instead of terminating this pretension at once the Spanish government propose to protract it for an indefl- nate period by an impossible system of. gradu- ation, and that this spectacle is offensive to all who love republican institutions, and especially to the United States, who now, in the name { of justice and for the sake of good neighbor- hood, ask that slavery shall cease. The reso- lutions declare also that the United States, being once colonies, achieved independence by successful resistance to the European Power claiming to govern them; that their example was followed by the Spanish colonies on the Continent of America ; that already the same aspirations for independence begin to stir in the neighboring colonies of Great Britain; that these instances are in harmony with the spirit of the age; that the day of European colonies in this hemisphere has passed, and that, impressed by this conviction, the people of the United States regret to witness the extraordinary efforts of the Spanish govern- ment, by violence and blood, to maintain the unnatural jurisdiction in Cuba forbidden by the great law of progress and hostile to the best interests of both parties. Then the resolutions state that the people of the United States declare their sympathy with their fellow Americans in Cuba struggling for independence, as well as for the people of Spain in their efforts to establish liberal insti- tutions, and they call upon Spain to recognize at once the right of Cubans to govern them- selves. The President-of the United States is charged with the duty of communicating these resolutions to the government of Spain. It is unnecessary to add anything to these manly and truly American sentiments. They will find a hearty response throughout the whole country. Their moderation, too, can- not fail to make an impression abroad. Nor have we any doubt that General Grant uegitiiy 1 ermpattin wih Stop, however” Bich he may have been Tolsled 1a this Cuban ques- tion or however anxious he may be to avoid difficulties or complications with Spain. If the government of Spain is not hopelessly stupid and insensible to the friendly conduct of our government it will appreciate both the dignified position of this republic and the good advice given on the subject of Cuba. It was not fear: of Spain or of war that has led the administra- | tion to a policy of abstention and restraint with regard to Cuba—that induced it to oppose popular sentiment—but it was influenced by a high regard for the national honor and with the hope that Spain would come to terms for granting the inde- pendence or cession of Cuba. No one doubts that if the United States would indi- rectly aid the Cubans, and that without violat- ing international law or obligations, Cuba would conquer her own independence; but our gov- ernment would prefer a peaceful and amicable settlement of the question, either by purchase or otherwise. That, we judge, is the policy of ! by the nose, because he knew how to govern himself. He was a man, too, of strong pas- sions, and terrible in his wrath; but he was not the mau to get up a tempest in 2 teapot, with himself in the teapot. He knew how to disarm his antagonist in the fiercest attack by turning the laugh upon him, as Butler himself did—on one happy occasion—with his “shoo fly.” It seems strange that an elderly, big- headed and bald-headed Massachusetts law- yer, like Butler, should not be equal to this sort ofthing on all occasions. But he isn’t. Farnsworth catches him napping, and he becomes on his dignity—fiddlesticks—as fussy and ferocious as a fire-eater, or as a school- boy caught with a contraband watermelon. We are sorely distressed at this affair. It places our champion, Butler, in the dilemma of General Scott, when he was ‘‘caught with his breeches down.” Whatare we todo? “I am afraid,” as honest Old Abe is credited with -saying of anotper man, “I am afraid that our man is not as big as our measure, and that we must take him down a peg or two.” Accordingly, we agree that But- ler, incompetent to control himself, is, with all his great capabilities, reduced in Congress to the grade of an irresponsible bushwhacker, whose only safety, as at Bermuda Hundred, is under the wing of General Grant. Mr. AKERMAN, of Georgia, has been con- firmed as Attorney General by the Senate, while Mr. Butler is still laboring to reconstruct Georgia on his radical plan. We believe Gen- eral Grant in war or peace is a better recon- structor than General Butler. He admits her to representation in his Cabinet while Butler refuses to admit her to representation in the House, Can there be a question as to which is the broadest and most statesmanlike action in the premises ? Tue Joz Question. —The ice dealers propose to increase heavily the price for ice, This will draw to the market a supply from Maine, and the competition will be beneficial to our citizens. Of all monopolies the ice monopoly is among the meanest. It is as bad as the coal monopoly when the supply of fuel is scarce and the weather biting. Between the two, however, it is evident that in monopolies, asin almost everything else, extremes meet, In the present instance the extremes are most ponatural—frost, god bee ull when ‘the; meet there should be ad éXplosion somewhere. Tue Ricnr Govase.—Mr. Dickens’ pub- lisher makes an announcement, that cannot but be pleasing to all persons interested in his writings, to the effect that no person will be permitted to “finish” the novel of “Edwin Drood,” but that it will be given to the public just as Dickens left it. This is infinitely better news than the previous statement, that the story would be filled out oa Dickens’ outline by Wilkie Collins. “ Tne Park Commisstongrs should not give way before the usurpations of the horse rail- road companies.

Our Dresden letter affords a valuable expla- nation of the politico-economic system as it prevails in Saxony particularly, and gene- rally in Germany. The school system of Sax- ony is probed pretty rigorously and firmly, the completion of which a banquet was given in London on Wednesday night. “At that ban- e if it | quet a despatch was read from Cyrus W. in place: of a | Field, stating that within ‘one year a cable would be laid from India to China and Austra- lia, and before the end of 1872 a cable would be in operation between Californta, the Sand- wich Islands, Japan and China.
