Tur Lot ‘A Tnovsies—Mr. McEneny’s Larrst Arreat.—The squabbling politicians over the spoils and plunder in Louisiana have reduced that naturally rich and bountiful State to a most deplorable condition. As rep- resented by Mr. McEnery, in appeal to the people to get up a State Convention for the purpose of making an appeal to Congress for the removal of the Kellogg State government, in @ community where commerce is decaying end agriculture is demoralized, and capital, with mercurial wings, is fying away, and real estate is depressed and depreciated fifty per cent under Kellogg's administration, must be done. But an appeal to Congress fer help against Kellogg we fear will be only the Cartman's appeal to Hercules over again. The people of Louisiana, in a common sense and practical, business-like way, must take the righting of their wrongs into their own hands, and to this end a State Convention may do something; but to calla convention for the purpose of a petition to Congress will be time and labor thrown a Tue Eqvan Ricuts Lesove or Prxnsyt- vats glories in the republican party, in Gen- eral Grant, in Governor Kellogg, and espe- cially in a number of carpet-baggers who have © distinguished in Louisiana politics, Goop News for the consumers of Croton Water is the news that all fears of an exhaust- % » something | y! what crimes are committed in | to agitate the question, have come, with the mass of the people, to look on it and discuss it as something worthy of the gravest attention. We wero well aware that the plain statement of how the liberties of our great nation were imperilled could not fail to evoke an expression of thought as wide as the nation itself. We were satisfied that there was no time to bo lost in presenting this statement to the people. The very quiet in the political world made it a duty to put our fears and our hopes in circulation, that the danger in the present may be avoided and its recurrence in the future made impossible. Throe years may be a good deal im a Presidential term of four, but they are a very small fraction in the life of a nation. ‘Three years too soon,” said those who did not grasp the vast importance of the problem to be solved. Why, time cannot be counted on the “too soon” side of such a question while all the tragedies of history hang upon the “too late.” Minutes count on that side where years would on the other. In tho present number of the Heraxp will be found a series of interviews with men of greater or lesser influence throughout the United States, but all possessing at least local influence. They include far-seeing politicians, members of the professions and journalists, men of party, most of them, but the significance of whose utterance is palpable; the opinions of the political lights of Illinois, republican and democratic representatives of opinion in Maine, opinions from Ohio and Virginia, tho views of editors of the city religious press and of other city papers for lay circulation are given. It would bo impossible to review each of these or those -which we have published from day to day previously, In each will bo found views which bear out our former comments if taken in connection with the political standpoint from which the various gentlemen speak. Among them we willat present refer to ex-Senator Doo- little's remark to our Chicago correspondent. After stating the national tradition respecting the limitation of Presidents to two terms, ho says:—The cry is now, ‘if the people choose him it is the people’s matter ;’ but there is the danger, Republics have lost their liberty most frequently by the insidious ambition of a plausible hero. The farce of an elec- tion was continued in Rome long after Casar had become absolute in power, and was maintained oven after the Empire was firmly established under Augus- tus.”” We must in the end place our reliance on the people; but before the people aro awnk- ened and aroused they may lie helpless under chains that will become visible and palpable in their fettering constraint only when they attempt the overthrow of a power that slipped from their grasp. We are fully impressed with the force of the ex-Sonator’s expression, “the insidious ambition of a plausible hero ;"’ but we distinctly state that we by no means clothe President Grant with such sinister designs, or that we would belittle, even for supposition’s sake, his great services as a soldier of the Union or Chief Magistrate of the nation. We have the strong- est hope that he will justify his record and perpetuate his patriotism by standing between the danger and the people and crushing the former. It isin a class more than in an indi- vidual that the power for harm will be found. The man may not yet have arison with unscru- pulous ambition and far-reaching craft enough to strike down his co-operators as he and they would strike down the people; but while the people look dazedly on the | forces are gathering that must, if not checked, produce him. They had Pompey, Crassus and Julius Cmsar os triumvirs first. Cesar destroyed the first two and then fell himself. Antony, Lepidus and Octavius be- came the powers after Owsar’s fall. Octavius repeated the tactics of Julius, and Augustus Imperator was the result. As the reins of government are grasped in fewer and fewer hands; as rich, strong, moneyed interests con- verge toward a common centre; as the citi- zens in their local groupings find them- selves tightly held and they more and more incline to the laisser aller in politics, are not the most alarming signs of a crystallization into Cwsarism visible to the eye. There are certain satur- ated saline solutions which but need tho touch of a rod to cause complete crystalliza- tion of their particles. If political concentra- tion be allowed to proceed as it has dane and is doing the point of saturation will be reached in time. Could we dare to hope, then, that the hand holding the rcd of power would refrain from the touch which would give him control of all in fixed, regular, solid form? The belief of Judge Ould, of Virginia, that anarchy should precede any attempt to alter the form of our government, is one that might be fulfilled. If the change in the spirit had long before taken place, anarchy, apparent or real, could soon be artificially produced, It is the trick and the hope of the would-be Casars of modern times, Certain Parisian journals which have taken up the discussion on Casarism in America, use ft after a manner well worthy of the par- ticular intenests they represent. The Gaulois, | & Bonapartist organ, finds in it an argument for the Empire, and the Moniteur, at present inspired by the Legitimists, discovers in it a | prop for the doctrines of a divine right monarchy. The man smitten with chol- era or smallpox who chuckled over the fact that his neighbor’s house was in such an unhealthy condition as to favor the spread of the pestilence among the family, would be a perfect parallel to these lucubrations, which will be found elsewhere, But we have a political Board of Health here— the free and independent press—which is something France has not. Beside the story of the fall of the Dutch Republic after the great Stadtholders, the crash of em- pires and monarchies can be read of by those who run. Between the son of the perjurer of “Yew drought this Summer may now be dis- | 1648.and the dynasty of Beranger’s Marquis seed. duly, So much for @ rainy August alter @ | of Carabas the. French hungerers after “Terror” and the “Commune” were the pro- ductions of each rule, Butany argument is good enough to help either, and we see that one sorry one is not so poor but that it will give a measure of relicf to each, Our best efforts shall be given to prove that neither is necessary to a people above the level of the clay they till, and o free press’and a free people that see and understand their danger will, we trust, make the effort necessary to avert it. We: have clearly traced how bestowing o third term on President Grant will place the people in a vise from which it may take bitter and bloody effort to release them. If foreign imperialists and monarchists take a measure of hope from what may shape itself into the Re- public’s despair, those who, out of utter selfish- ness or disordered ambition continue to make it ‘possible must bear the merited reprobation. The physician must not pausé to think what the gangrene patient’s friends will say when he diagnoses the disease. His is the caro to apply the remedy in time. Such is the aim of the Herarp. Politicians are among those who often search behind the open ap- pearance of things to find clever and un- founded reasons for the most straightforward declarations. We have been accused on one sido of covertly favoring the third term which we bave so earnestly condemned. On the other side we have been charged with o specious opposition to our respected President and the republican party, All these hazardings are vain and un- called for. The Hzenawp is independent of all parties and above them, and so believes should the nation be. To place the latter beyond cavil is why we awake the country to the dangers of Cesarism. The Disordered Condition of Spain— Action of Forcign Powers. There are, we fear, two insuperable obsta- cles to establishing at the present time the Republic in Spain—the hostility of foreign Powers and the want of honesty and ability in those who have the control of affairs. It is with regret that we are forced to come to this conclusion, and should be glad to learn in the course of events that we have been mis- taken. We looked for the Republic at the fall of Queen Isabella, and hailed it when Amadeus abdicated, hoping that after so many experi- ments and failures of monarchy under dif- ferent phases the Peninsula might settle down, as a last resort, at least, toa republican form of government, The United Siates promptly recognized the Republic, with the view to encourage it, and because that was the de facto and only government possible when Amadeus resigned. Then this action on the part of the administration at Washing- ton was ao sort of offset to the do-nothing or repressive policy toward Cuba, and gave the State Department an opportunity to give the cold shoulder to the Cubans again on the plea that nothing should be done to check or embarrass republicanism in Spain. But this magnanimity, if it can be so called, has availed nothing. The Spanish Republic pursued the same course toward Cuba that the monerchy had, and now Spain is fast drifting back again, to all appearances, to monarchical government. Though no other government than the Republic was possible immediately after the’ abdication of Amadeus, not one of the great Powers, except the United States, recognized it. Had France—the Republic of France— acted as the United States did, the Spanish republicans, with all the difficulties that lay in their way, might have succeeded, for France is the neighboring country of Spain and exercises great influence over the affairs and destiny of the Peninsula. The Spanish republicans had reason to expect better treat- ment from the adjoining French Republic, from the leading and representative nation of the Latin race and of Southern and Catholic Europe. But neither affinity of race nor re- publican sympathy was found to have any ef- fect upon France. On the contrary, the French government not only declined to recognize the Spanish Republic, but actually encouraged disorders in the Peninsula and the reactionary move- ment of the Carlists and- royalists generally. France has been to some extent the base of Don Carlos’ operations, and the intimation has been thrown out, probably by design, that the French government contem- plates the recognition of the Carlists as bel- ligerents, England—liberal England—too, has not acknowledged the Spanish Republic, and sends arms and munitions of war to Don Carlos. Italy has no word of encouragement. This, however, is not surprising when we con- sider that Italy is monarchical and that from the inglorious failure of Amadeus the royal family must be disgusted with Spain, Least of all is it likely the autocratic governments of Germany, Russia and Austria will take any step to encourage the establishment of a Span- ish Republic. It is reported by cable tele- gram from Madrid that, in the event of a recess or adjournment of the Cortes, Castelar will visit London, Berlin, Vienna and Rome to endeavor to bring about the recognition of the Republic of Spain. We foar the eloquence of this ardent patriot will have little effect, unless, indeed, the republicans of Spain can crush the Carlists and other disorganizers and establish a firm government ; and of that there does not appear to be much hope at present. Spain is in the most anomalous condition of all the nations of Europe. It is really in a chaotic state from tho conflict of ideas and interests. It is one of the most intensely patriotic countries in the world, and yet is more divided than almost any other on ques- tions of polity at home and party. If attacked by a foreign enemy no people would be more united or brave. The fight is triangular. The government, weak, half served or idealistic, confronts Car- lism whole-hearted to the extreme of fanaticism and practical. Besides this another element of weakness and discord is in the ultra republicans, composed mostly of the uneducated or superficially educated masses and socialists, with a fow idealist and energetic leaders. Some of these have seized upon the sentiment of confederation or State rights of provincial self-government, which has been agitated to some extent both in and out of the Cortes. Aided by the socialists and communists of the cities they have been enabled to seize a portion of the navy, to hold certain districts of the country, and to make themselves a power in the land, This party is more obuoxious to foreign Powers, aos well as serfdom may take their choice, The | to the conservatives of Spain, than anv other, Many who might accept a moderate or con- servative republie prefer monarchy under any form to the rule of this faction. Between these, and hopeful from their divisions, the monarchists under Don Carlos have been able to make a serious diversion and to embarrass the . government. There are, of course, behind the Carlists other menarchical aspir- ants and their who, while making common war on ublic, hope in the scramble to attain their objects. The Church, which isstill very powerful in Spain, and dreads revolution and the republicanism of Europe that grows out of it, is the natural ally of monarchy, and would, probably, prefer Don Corlos to any other aspirant for the throne. Whilo we sce tho love of liberty and spirit of independence in the Spanish people, particu- larly in certain districts and municipalities, they are generally ignorant end, know not what true republican freedom means. Spain is rich naturally, and her people have many noble qualities. They have, too, achieved great things im the history of the world and of civilization. But it seems that country is destined to be the prey of misfor- tune and theatre of conflicts for the rest of Europe. Many of the great wars of Europe and catastrophes have sprung from this penin- sula at one corner of the Continent. The fall of the great Napoleon rffay be traced to his warin Spain. The Spanish marriage ques- tion precipitated the fall of Louis Philippe. The late war between Germany and Franco was brought about by the Hohenwollern and dynastic question in Spaia, and now all the monarchies of Europe are sending their fleets to coerce Spain and otherwise to interfere in the affairs of that country, while steadily set- ting their faces against the Republic. France, in the interest of Bourbonism and mionarchy, apparently, is performing the same part. Is Spain, which has been the battle ground of so many rival and political interests, now to be- come the theatre of conflict for Europe between democracy and aristocracy? It appears so ; and, with the extraordinary outside pressure, Spain may have to accept Bourbonism again. But the end is not yet. Ideas cannot be Killed. In the education of the press, the telegraph and general progress of the age the masses of Spain and the other countries of Europe will learn how to sequre and maintain their rights and liberties. Mr. Jefferson Davis and the Southern Historical Convention—He Places His Hopes in the Ladies of the South. If the admirers of Mr. Jefferson Davis wish to know the kind of fuel with which that won- derful little instrument, the human tongue, is Kindled, we beg leave to refer them to the sixth verse of the third chapter of tho general epistle of James. The sacred writer is speak- ing of human nature in general, and limits his remarks neither to a nation nor an individ- ual. No stretch of imagination, therefore, justifies us in believing that while writing the ge referred to he had Mr. Davis in his prophetic eye, although the speech which that gentleman has been delivering before the Southern Historical Convention would seem to favor such an assumption. Never had a public man a better opportunity of proving himself great one in spite of ad- versity. Never had one who failed in taking a city a more brilliant chance for showing the world that in ruling his temper he had ac- complished what Solomon declares o better thing. Mr. Davis has not taken many citios, and he, therefore, cannot be so readily ex- cused for not keeping the citadel of his own counsel. The speech which he has just uttered before the Southern Historical Con- vention is not his first foolish one, and will, probably, not be his last. For the sake of the sensibilities of his friends, among whom it is pleasant to believe there are some admirable men and women, this is to be regretted. To the generous mind it is always grateful to dis- cover that the man who has failed to be a hero in action can become one in repose. There is sense in which inactivity becomes in truth masterly. If silence is golden, no silence is such a good imitation of the article as that of the fallen leader whose generalship was pinch- beck. Mr. Davis’ oration was not very long, but the reports we have of it include several points worthy of comment. Having returned his thanks to the Convention for the warmth of its reception and expressed the home-like feeling which he always has when in Virginia, he complimented that State upon her grand mountains, her verdant vales and her material wealth, and added, “above all, her men excel her soil and her women excel her men.” We do not know whether it was Mr. Davis’ in- tention to imply that the women of Virginia are as superior to the men as the men are superior to the soil, Such an inference is natural, and seems to be sustained by what he says further on concerning the ladies. It is to this point to which we would refer more particularly. Toward the close of his speech Mr. Davis emphatically declares that in the ladies of the South rests his greatest hope for the future of the country. What does this remark mean? Taken alone it looks inno- cent and even admirable, as though one should say that he relied for future patriots and heroes upon the moral, intellectual find physical stamina of their mothers; but taken in connection with the whole tone and tenor of the speech, the unmistakable mean- ing is that Mr. Davis believes that the South- ero woman is incapable of reconstruction, and that she will not fail to nurture in her sons those beliefs and animosities which plunged this nation into civil war. It is in view of this delectable result that Mr. Davis easts so hopeful an eye upon the ladies of Vir- ginia and of the South in general. They will bring forth fruit meet for rebellion. They will fan into a fiercer flame than ever that sentiment which, with a rhetoric that looks like an affectation of simplicity, he glorifies as “the cause." Mr. Davis ought to know his own countrywomen best. He does not, in- deed, expressly say that no Southern woman has ever been “reconstructed,” but he says next to the same thing in declaring that he has never seen one. Is it possible that Mr. Davis’ ramblings have never brought to his knowledge a Southern lady whose views have been reconstructed by Northern marriage, and whose sons, so far from perpetuating “tho cause,"’ would do their best to destroy it ? With respect to reconstructed Southern men Mr. Davis is more reticent, and the fact, con- trasted with the excessive admiration he lavishes upon the indies, leads us to the con- ‘clusion that cantemut. more closely than anv other feeling, would express the manner in which he regards the reconstructed portion of the white male population of the South, But the facts are far from justifying such a senti- ment, though, perhaps, its existence is to be looked for ina pseudo President who failed in inspiring the objects of this present con- tumely with lasting respect and devotion. The truth is that the reconstructed men of the South are the most sterling men there, beside whom the forlorn clingers to an obselete and worse than impracticable sentiment make a sorry show. Give us the reconstructed men of the South, and we are not afraid that, Mr. Davis’ hope in the unreconstructed and unre- constructible women will be so largely justified as easily to renew the struggle that he wishes to foresee. We are not so generous as to sym- pathize with the orator when he claims to have been ‘‘cheated” rather than conquered. This announcement, coming from the lips of one who owes to the magnanimity of our govern- ment the opportunity to utter it, possesses a ludicrousness which,"despite a ghastly streak or two, will raise a smile. The lndicrousness deepens whien coupled with the claim that, . could the South have seon the results of the surrender, it would be free to-day. It would be interesting to know upon what principles in military ethics the surrender of Lee could be claesed as a Northern ‘‘cheat.’’ In despair of plainer elucidation we arc driven back on St. James again, and are reminded by-him that “the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things.” Asa corollary to his speech Mr. Davis on Tuesday evening gave a toast during the progress of a banquet tendered to various members of fhe Southern Historical Society. Luckily the toast is its own comment, and therefore the less calls for any from us, It runs thus:—‘‘To our Admiral Semmes, who went afloat on one ship, wore her out, and took another and swept the seas.’ Mr. Semmes, in his reply, said that the country might wake up some morning and find a Cesar and a _ throne, but that Mr. Davis would always hold a much higher place in the hearts of ‘his people’ than a Owsar could ever do, because Mr. Davis’ em- pire would be one of love, not tyranny. Upon the Crsarian aspect of the question we do not at present feel inclined to enter ; but, perhaps, we may be permitted to express our surprise at learning that Mr. Davis still has ‘‘a people.” He evidently does not believe so himself, for in his speech he contends that the men of this day—meaning the Southern men—yield the principles for which they contended ; and he evidently derives substantial consolation from the reflection that the Southern women are with him, and that from the mouths of the fature babes and sucklings of the South is to be ordained that praise of rebellion to which the mature Southern man has proved recu- sant. We shall not waste our advice by recom- mending Mr. Davis to silence. Posterity will give him so much of that that perhaps the happiest thing for him to do is to continue to | make speeches. Besides, we have no ambition to make a wise man out of one who has so repeatedly belied his claim to being thought one. Tae HuMANrraRIaANs AND THE Mopocs.— Having learned that the Modoc savages con- cerned in the murder of General Canby have been tried and condemned for their capital crime, and that the action of the military Court awaits the approval of the authorities at Washington, it appears that the advocates of brotherly love towards the red man are on the ground in behalf of the invaluable lives of Captain Jack and his guilty confederates. We would, therefore, again simply warn the administration that mercy to these merciless wretches will be cruelty to every white com- munity living convenient to an Indian reser- vation or a wandering Indian band, and cruelty particularly to the poor Indians. The true course for humapity, in reference to Captain Jack and his fellow murderers, is to hang them, and proclaim the hanging to all the Indian tribes of the West. Menrr iw Penropican Lrrenature.—The display of newspapers and periodicals at the Vienna Exposition was an interesting feature of the American department, and has been awarded a medal for merit in the group of education and instruction. This is compli- mentary to the press of the United States, but it falls short of doing full justice to the sub- ject. The success of the American department at Vienna, which turns out to be honorable to the country, is due almost entirely to tho metropolitan press. But for the Hxranp and other city journals which persistently aided the enterprise America would have been badly represented at the Exposition, and hence it will be acknowledged that the medal for merit has a special reference’ to the journals of the metropolis. Tue Granorrs as Far East as Boston.— Several farmers’ granges have been organized in Massachusetts, including one in Boston. Thus the grangers are extending their opera- tions and getting up their societies all over the country. At this rate by the year 1876 they may hold the balance of power upon the question of the Presidential succession, should politics be the field they choose to plough in ; but, in the meantime, they should bring their strength to bear upon Congress in refer- ence to our grasping railway monopolies, and the sooner the better. Porrtican Parts 1 Onto.--Since the Ohio democracy have taken a new departure back to their old party tabernacle the ques- tion, What course will the liberal republicans or people’s party now pursue? is becoming somewhat interesting. They had a meeting in Allen county the other day, from the re- ported proceedings of which we conjecture that this people's party is ‘‘Petering out.” But we shall know more as we get into the deeper water of the Fall campaign.
