The Republican party seems to be passing through a most dangerous crisis The Southern elections are all against it, and if the current is not changed, its doom is cer- tain. Three canses are working for the de- Mruction of this great party: the conspicu. ous failure of Guant’s Administration; the univemtalamnesty notious of the Hon. Ho Race GHEBLEY; and the instability of the negro vote. The Administration fails through the political incapacity of its head. Gen tirant is filling the ranks of the party with dissatisfied members, Some of its old leaders begin to suspect him of lack of fidelity to its principles, its meas urea, and even to the organization itself; and they are not low in asserting that all he cares for is to amuse himeclf dur- ing his four years’ occupancy of the White House providing for himself, his relatives, retainers, and benefactors, These charges may be to some extent groundless; Yat, while be will doubtless carry out the policy of reconstruction after a dilatory fashion, he has already shown that he is destitute of high statesmanlike qualities, and in regard to leadership is too often but the willing in- strument of charlatans and adventurers. Mr. Greevry’s favorite notion of allowing everybody in the South to vote ere the work of reconstruction is consolidated on a firm basis, though it springs from the overflowing benevo- lence which he has always exercised toward our erring Southern brethren, is nevertheless producing its legitimate fruits in all the old slaveholding States, Shrewd and ambitious men like WALKER and Senrer adopt and give currency to the idea of the Great Re- publican Philosopher ; the entire mass of the ex-Confederates fall into line; a considerable body of negroes, listening to the voice of a teacher whom they have been taught to trust, follow suit; and the inevitable result is seen in the overthrow of the Republican party in Virginia, Tennessee, and even Ala- bama, The recent elections in the South, there- fore, do not more clearly indicate to the Democracy the road by which they are to achieve a national victory in 1872, than they point out to the Republicans the men and th measures whereby their doom is already wealed—namely, the incompetence of the Administration and the lack of statesman. ship in Gen, Grant, the hasty and inconsid- erate liberality and secession sympathies of Mr. Greeiry, and the mutability of negro suffrage as an clement of political power. Precisely how much of the political results of the war will remain after the process is all over and the old rebels are once more firmly in power again in the South, it would take a freater mathematician than Prot. Pemce to calculate. It is also a rather sad oceupation to stand by and see the chosen leaders of sucha party as the Republican—whose history will ro main as long us time—deliberately cutting its throat and holding it while it bleeds to death, a How our Diplomatic FI Treated Abroad. One of the greatest anomalies in the diplo. matic relations between the United States and European Governments is the persistent Attempt on the part of the latter to slight thia country by appointing Ministers to Washington of a lesser grade and inferior Mation to those we select for the courts of the Old World, The first-class English and French Ministers are styled Ambassadors, and are sent to the great European powers, Our first-class Ministers are styled Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary, and are accredited near the principal sover: tigns, who, however, persist in sending usin return second-class Ministers, In the diplomatic hierarchy of Europe, the United States is still counted among thy small powers, not much superior to the lil putian South American and German States ; and the consequence is that the American Ministers in Loudon and Paris, instead of rank ing among the representatives of the great European powers, are outranked by them all, and are sandwiched in, at court receptions, between Hayti and Costa Rica or some other miniature concerns. Again, the French Emperor does not scruple to remain unrepresented by @ full Minister at Washington for @ protracted po riod, while the United States, as soon as @ wacancy occurs by recall or by death, never loses a moment in sending out a new Minis. ter. ‘This has been exemplified on many occa sions, and among others on that of the de- mise of Mr. Dayrox, when Mr, BiagLow, then Amorican Consul at Paris, was immo- diately promoted to the rank of Minister We regard the whole diplomatic system as nkeys are \ oe preclone iumbua and trust dhat after the mocting of Congress this country will iml- tate at least the example of Austria, and abolish all tho legations, save those in Eng: land, Franco, Russia, Italy, and Prussia, But 80 long as the diplomatic machinery is kept up, onr Government should certainly insist upon due reciprocity being shown to us, 60 far as the appointmont of first-class envoys is concerned, and in regard to the concession of the same social rank and privileges to our representatives at the European courts whieh are granted to those of the leading Old World powers, It is all very well to say that, con- scious of our greatnoss asa nation, we can afford to see our envoy at London playing second or third fiddle to the Ambassador of France or Auatri But this is no reason why we should like to be slight- ed; and since we go to the expense and the trouble of sending our first-class Minis- ters to the Court of Bt. James, the ine trinsic absurdity of the proceeding is aggra- vated by the fact that our Minister, who outranks in his grade the representative of the Queen at Washington, is left in the lurch among the rank and file of the petty nvoys of petty States. While we complain of all this aa a matter of duty, in our hearts we are glad of it. If our diplomatic gentlemen were a good deal worse treated, it would serve the flunkeys right. ————— What Next? We only state what is well known to all these who are behind the scenes of public affairs, that the Government of Spain has decisively rejected the project in behalf of Cuba laid before it by Gon, Stickies, TL question now is whether the menace in volved in that project will be executed, and whether Gen, Giant and Mr, Fisn will respond to the ultimatum of the Spanish Regeut by recog zing the independence of Cuba, as the agents of President CesrepEs: have been promised, or even by recognizing the belligerent rights of the revolted patri ots, as our people have long and ardently desired. The truth is now plain that while Ser. RANO and Pim are in a very dangerous position at home, and are fast losing the remainder of their prestige amid all the omens of civil war and a universal disorgan ization and demoralization, they are still too vainglorious and too much subject to the control of Louis NAvoL“on to even consider an offer which promised them #o great ad- vantages as that made by Gen, SickLEs, It is idle to think of accomplishing anything for Cuba Dy further negotiation with them. ‘Thus far our diplomacy has availed nothing in the premises except to give the Regent's soldiery in Cuba a longer time to commit their outrages upon American citizens undis- turbed, killing them like dogs, aud paying ag much attention to the protests of Admiral Horr as they did to the prayers of their vie- tims, and no more, We learn that a coalition of the South American epublica against Spain, and an active joint renewal of the war between that power and Peru, which has slumbered for the past two years, is now very probable. Most of those republics have already declared their unity with the Cuban revolution. They all cherish advep hostility against the mother country ; and they regard the present moment as favorable for com- pleting the final expulsion of her power from America, In this opinion they are right; but their probable action aflords no light upon the real intentions of our own Govern ment. SEWKANO refuses to sell, and defies us to carry out in a practical way the sympathy for the people of Cuba which Congress has proclaimed, and which is undoubtedly felt by the immense majority of our citizens, Well, shall we take up the gauntlet? What next? Johnson Coming Back to the s What of Grant? The result of the election in Tennessee is said to render extremely probable the return to the United States Senate of ANDREW Jounson, This will be a great triumph for Jonson, It also shows that no man need ever consider himself politically dead as long as heis above ground, If Jonson, after his career, can be elected to the United States Senate, who may not aspire to a seat in that body ? How will it be with Guanr after the ex Piration of his term of office? Will any State elect him to the Senate? The pros pect at present would scem to be extremely gloomy. But who knows? It certainly might be urged with entire truth that he would make as good a Senator as he has niade President, He is no speaker; but in this respect he is about on a par with Joun son, who, though he talks a great deal, really says nothing, ——$——— A fow days ago a telegram from Halifax announced the arrival at that port of the British man-of-war Eclipse, and that cightee from yellow fever had occurred on passny » the Rio Grande, two of the vietims being the Commander and the First Lieutenant It is not many weeks since the United States sloop of war Saratoga arrived here with yellow fever on board, Quite a number of the men died, and several officers, Since then the United States steamer Narragansett has reached Portsmouth, N.

Let the Democracy of Ohio then agree to raise the salary of their Gov- ernor to €16,000 a year, and they can fairly ask Gen. wKCRANS to be their candidate, It would well worth that sum for the State of Ohio to character and ac to the Demoer: ) ch to carry the With Kostowans they would have a 1 chance of success, Without him it will difficult for them to resist the prestige and well deserved popularity of Gen.
