Wood's Muneum - The M WH Troupe, Mattons, Democratic Candidates for the Presi« dency—The Ordeal they must Pass. Tt fs pot unnatural that the Democracy should be casting around for a leader to carry their banner in the Presidential contest of 1892; for the demoralization which Gen. Gnant’s administration is diffusing through the ranks of the Republicans gives the De- mocracy a more reasonable hope of success than they bave had since the FREMONT cam- paign fourteen years ago. To afford solid grounds for success, the Democratic candidate must combine in his political life, character, and creed, three ele- ments, He must have a good record in ro- rpect to the late rebellion, or he cannot make an inroad upon the Republican States in the North, At the very least, he must not have taken an active part against the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, and the policy in which they originated. If he has, he cannot carry a sufficient number of the Southern States to bring his election within the range of probability, He must be a man of large and generous views, de- voted to progress, and no fossil, or he will fail to draw to his support the yonng men of the country, who are imbued with the liberal spirit of the times, Unless Gen. Guant shall continue to pur- sué a course which must end in such an utter ruin of the Republican party that not even the refusal to renominate him can restore ite wonted vigor, no Democratic candidate who does not possess each of the three qualifica- tions we have mentioned can hope to enter the White House. We believe, moreover, the rank aad file of the Democracy will rigidly apply these tests in advance of a nom- ination, and will not allow any aspirant for Presidential honors who is unable to stand these tests to be even seriously talked of as a candidate. They will whistle him down the wind and scout his pretensions with xcorn long betore the campaign opens. The sensible men of the party well know that it cannot survive defeat in four successive Presi- dential struggles; and they will not accord the first place on their ticket in 1872 to a man who can only repeat the disasters of 1860, 1864, and 1868, The rigid enforcement of these ideas will of course exclude from the field of competi- tion several intensely ambitious persons who are now hovering around its borders. They will not do, and they will not be accepted ; and the sooner they retire from the ground, the better for them and their party. We will not now name the Democratic aspi- rants for the Presidency who cannot pass thi ordeal we have suggested. They ought to know, and their considerate friends certainly do know, whether they can bear the ordeal which will be remorselessly applied to their pretensions when the hour arrives, unless, in the mean time, they have the good sense to decline the scrutiny. Let the incapables retire while they may do £0 without disgrace, dia ¢ Farnsworth and Butler Contro+ versy. Mr. Fannswonri of Illinois yesterday protested in the House of Representatives against Gen, BuTLER's advocating the pas- wage of the Rollin White Patent bill over the President's veto. The ground of the ob- jection was that BuTLER had received a fee of $2,000 from the parties to be benefited by the passage of the bill. This was a volid point, and Gen, BuTLER would have done well if he had admitted ite force, aud retired from all further connection with the pateat. Instead of this, however, he assailed Gen. Fanxswort with personal abuse, to which that gentleman replied with vigor and effect. In the interest which always attends such a dispute between members of Congress, we trust that the main point will not be lost outof view. Gen, FARNSWORTH was entire- ly in the right and Gen, Burien entirely in the wrong upon this subject. No Represen- tative or Senator who las received a counsel fee from any party can with propriety speak or vote in favor of that party upon the sub- jeet in connection with which the fee was paid him, It ought not to be necessary to enact #0 palpable and unquestionable a principle ag this into a law; but when men like Gen, BuTLER become members of Con gress, they must be put under restraints that are not necessary with gentlemen of a more delicate and scrupulous moral const: tution, — Well-made Shoes may Come of it, The Chinese thocmakers now at work in North Adams must be looked at through the medium of two facts about which there is no coutroversy, ‘The workmen whose places had not been able to agree with their employers al out wages, and had struck they take work, as thy had a perfeet right to do. No shocs were made in the shops of Messrs, Sampson & Co. ; the current ot daily wages there was stopped, and various interests were suflering in consequence. ‘That is one fact The other is that the laborers who hal thus left their business were not Americans, but almost all of them French Canadians; so that the introduction of the Chinamen is merely a substitution of one class of foreign immigrants for another. Wath regard to tho Chinese, there is one th in their favor, That ig the fidelity with which they perform any contracts into which they m ter, ‘They always make good their undertakings. Even if they are imposed upon, aud agree to work Chinese to the seale that Western candidates for Congress havo fallen into the habit ofde nouncing. At least that reduction will not take place in this nor in the next generation, It coste just about as much to get ® shirt washed by a Chinaman in Silver Bow, Mon- tana, as it docs by a person of any other nation —only the other person is not there. The Chinaman is there, and is a necessity. Bushy- bearded miners thank Providence for him, but they don’t find him dog-cheap. He will outwork all the Isborers of the world tn every department of labor ex- cept whaling and lumbering ; but nowhere in the world does he work for starvation wages unless he has been cheated in a labor contract. And then the faithful man per- forms, in sorrowful resignation—dying often in hie tracks, but never violating his agree- ment. As for the experiment at North Adama, it is possible that it may lead to a revolution in the manufacture of boots and shoes which eontuthers throughout the country will be grateful for, Now they are very infirm and perishable products. Notto put too finea point on it, the sale shoes of New England are very poor things. If the Chinese in North Adams should succeed in turning out better shocs than New England usually pro- duces, their wearers will be glad of it. It would indeed be celestial if Am Wino and Cre Funo should compel the Yankees to make substantial coverings for American feet. Who Wan' —— s Mr. Motley made an Ame Dassador ¢ Acurious and even comical statement was made by the Earl of CLanenpon in the House of Lords on Tuesday night. He said that the British Government had received intimation from the United States that this country was about to confer upon the Amer- ican Minister in England the title of Am- bassador, the highest in the scale of diplo- matic honors. The noble Earl added that when this great change should take place in the rank of the American Minister, it would be only a proper courtesy for Great Britain to reciprocate the compliment by also con- ferring the title of Ambassador upon her representative at Washington, Who is the original author of this non- sense, and what could be his purpose? What do we want of an Ambassador at the Court of St. James's? Ever since our Government was put in motion we have kept there an Envoy Extraonlinary and Minister Plenipo- tentiary, and, upon the whole, he has been a pretty useless public servant; and we are bound to add that none of the many gentle- men who have filled this office have been more useless than the present incumbent. Wo dare say that Mr. Motiry, who seems to have a passion for suobbish distinctions and aristocratic refinements of rank, would be very glad to be known in London as the American Ambassador; and very likely he may have got from the congenial spirits in the State Department some assurance that his desire may be complied with ; but we trast that, when the subject is brought before Congeess, without whose as- sent the proposed transformation cannot take place, the common sense of the two Houses will not be long in giving the quictus to so ridiculous a project. If Congress would also take occasion to abolish the diplomatic corps altogether, the country would not be dissatisfied with the change. With the electric telegraph connecting us with almost every part of the world, and steamers that cross the ocean in nive days, there is no necd whatever of regularly maintaining a minister at any foreign court. This whole system of diplo- macy is behind the times; the world has out- grown it; it belongs to that class of medie val shows and ceremonies which have no place among the active movements and real interests of the present day. Whenever there is any public business to be done at any forcign capital, a man of suitable character should be sent out to perform it, and when it isdone he should come home again; but the practice of keeping a public man at every capital of the world, merely to give dinners and to present wandering snobs from this country to the tinsel and the shams of royalty, is both expensive and ridiculous, ————————— We are glad to know that Gov. STEVEN. sox of Kentucky has at last closed his prolonged discussion with Senator McCreeny and the Hon, Tuomas L. Jones, He persists in accusing Mr. Jones of lying, but says he will not fight a duel, because he bas been # professor of the Christian religion for more than thirty years, One part of the Governor's letter seems intended to be very frank ; for instance “1 frankly acknowledge the errors and transgres. ns of my youth, They were great.

He would probably have done better had he candidly told which of the command- wents he then violated, We have heard that during the war he was a rebel, and that on bis appeuring to take his seat in the Senate at Wash n next year he will doubtless be subject- an investigation; but the offences he bere acknowledges seem to have been committed at an earlier day. e —— The abolition of the was defeated in the & jority of two votes only, ‘This is a very encour. aging result, The contest over the bill has been protracted, and the subject has been dis- cussed with great fulluess from every point of Many Senators openly contended fur the preservation of the franking privilege as a means of diffusing popular education; and others treated its abolition as a measure of picayune economy, Probably the most effective op- poneyt of the bill was Mr, Suge of Massa- He argued in favor of the principle of no frauking, but he incumbered it with 4 muss of impracticable ameydments, such as the re- ranking. privilege yn ‘Tuesday by @ mie chusetts, for less than the.r services are worth, they stand persixtently by their word, But it is a mnistake to suppose that they will labor at rates loss than the standard compensation for the work they perform, They are exeeed- ingly intelligent, and will invariably demand fair pay when they know their market and are hero will be no. reduetion of Waves in the United States by reason of the trey duction of letter postage to one cent; and when the final vote was taken he was found among those who were iv favor of retaining the present odious system.

The leader of the anti-franking movement in the Senate was Mr, Ramsey of Minnesota, and he performed bis duty with signal ability, industry. and patience. Great credit should also be award. ed to Sefiator Conxiina of New York for the fronchatié anid conclusive manner in which he supported tha bill and exposed the wiles of its ‘antagonists, It is estimated that the abolition of the franking privilege would produce a saving of five millions @ year; and it was stated in the de- bate that the adoption of Mr. Suwxen’s one-cent rate of postage would impose upon the Treasury the necossity of payiug ten millions « year to make up the deficiency in the Post Uffice Depart- ment, The friends of the bill which has thus been de- feated onght not to be disheartened by this tem- porary reverse, The atrongth which their fa- vorite measure has shown in Congress is much greater than was oxpected, and there is no reason to doubt that at the next trial it will prevail, ——— Chief of Police Camrpet has laid before the Police Commissioners of Brooklyn what pur- ports to be a full list of the policy dealers of that city, with their places of business; but he has omitted—Iinadvertently, we suppose—the name of Supervisor Roper Nexson, who keeps a policy shop at 1 Navy street, near the Navy Yard gate, This is unfortunate, in view of the fact that Mr. Newson is a member of Boss McLavouttn’s Ring and «persistent enemy of bis benefactor Judge Morris, Won't Mr. Camppene please revise his list so as to give the District Attorney a chance to include Mr, Naxsow in his prosecution of these scoundrels ? ———_— How lucky for the United States that ‘Utrases 8, Grant wasn't King of France in 1776, with Don Hawiuron Fran for bis Prime Minister!

What excuse will thes for Mr. Grant's request, and) Mr. CHRSWELL’ went to od it, that Gen, Honace Porten, Gen. Frep.

Is not this a *sponging’ Adminis ration ?"” We do not know that these allegations are cr- roneous, but there is a fact which makes them seem somewhat improbable. Gen. Porter, Gen, Dexr, and Gen. Bancocx are officers of the anny and when travelling under orders are entitled to the regular rates of mileage, which are more than sufficient to cover the cost of railway tickets, Whenever they are sent upon public business there can, of course, be little difficulty in issuing to them such military documents as would give them the right to receive their mileage from any Quartermaster. This being the ease, why should they be appointed to the nominal office of mail agents, and thus be converted into deadheads? The World should produce the evidence upon which it has made this charge, passsonesh de =i Lae We have received a bill introduced into the House of Representatives on Monday last by Mr, CuLtow of Illinois, to authorize the people of New Mexico to form a Constitution and State Government with a view to their definitive ad mission into the Union. The terms of the bill are similar to those employed in former enabling acts; and if there are people enough in New Mex- ico to make a State, we see no objection to their going ahead, But the name which Mr. Cvuvom proposes for the new commonwealth can hardly be pronounced suitable, He wishes to call it Lincoln, after the late President. While we would pay every pos- sible honor to the memory of that great man, we cannot think that naming a State after him i: proper mode of testifying our respect for bim. We have already several counties that bear the name of Lincoln, and the new capital of Nebras- ka is also called by that appellation, To add to these the designation of a State will be incon- venient and useless, The effect in the case of Washington affords an illustration of the truth we are stating, The national capital is named Washington, ana there are almost as many Wash- ington cities and Washington counties as there are States; and in addition to all these, a territo- ry on the Pacific is called by the same appella- tion, This produces confusion in the direction of lettera, and @ general uncertainty as to what is meant when the name of Washington is men- tioned. No one will pretend that anything ii added to the renown of our first President, or that the popular respect and gratitude toward him is in any manner increased, by this universal locali- action of his name, It will be equally unfortu- pate to multiply the name of Lincoln in the same manner; and we trust that whenever New Mexico is organized as a State, it will be with its own historical name, which it has borne ever since white men first began to reside there, — In his message ogainst the Lill granting additional aid to the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad, Gov, Cuaruin of Massachusetts says that whatever might be the benefits to be ex- pected from completing the road, “they are n to be counted for # moment if the State is to disgraced by silent acquies a managers of the Company,’ This is sound, and does equal honor to the head and heart of its author, But what would Gov, Crarum say if one of the highest officers of Mustachusetts had been proved by legislative in n guilty of deception, pecula- tion, and fraud’ in connection with the Boston, Hariford Would i once require him to resign his place? And what the Governor say of President Grant and retary Fisu, who keep in a high national office a man—Mr, Davis, Assistant Secretary of State—who has been proved to be guilty of taking bribe of sixty thousand dollars in the course of the very transactions which the Gover nor so earnestly denounces?

Under the title of The Captions of Fernando Po, and Imprestone of @ Voyage to Guinea, one of the vietims of Spanish despotism in Cubs, Pmanctsoo Ja- ‘yrmn VALMASRDA, has published in Spanish an admir- able narrative of what he and his companions feuf- fered during thetr terrible exile, and also the fruits of his observations of Spanish migrate, not only in, Cuba, bat in Africa, Wo sincerely regret thay this very interesting volume has not been translated Into Bng- Pablished in a popular form, tt would rendily of readers; for it is a corroboration of the old adage that “truth is etranger than fletion, and tho circumstantial and well-authenticated details of the exceusos committed by the Spaniards in Cuba, with which the work conclades, could not fail to fire the heart of every American at the thought of his having been, thongh never so uuiatentionally, an aider and abettor of such atrocity. ‘The anthor was taken prisoner in Remedios on the 14th of February, 1869, and conducted, in com- pany with fifty-three other prisoners trom bis neighborhood, to the Cnbafia Castle in Ha- vana, In this jail, with tho volunteers of Havana for jailers, these men, against whom no charge was ever even brought, suffered heard-of torments for one month. On the Sst of Mareh they were shipped on board the steamer Ss Franelsco de Borja for Fernando Po, Speaking of the arbitrary arrest and exile of bimself and his companions, the author says: “Confinement in Fernando Po is a penalty as bad ff not worse than death, and the right to impose it arbitrarily #0 com- pletely nullifies all the rights of man, #0 completely destroys all law, that it is better to live among the Kaffirs than in a country where an you at any moment, ' Make your will and ‘you arégoing to die apart from . on an island peopled by savage in the most unhealthy climate in the world, *'No,' replies the man in power, * Tell me, ntence me to death.’ * No,’ an- awers the other; ‘it ix enough for you to know that such is my will’ And, inerediblo as it may appear, no further formality was eom- plied with in the case of any single one of these two hundred and Aity vietims of Spanish despotiem. Worse still, many of these unfor- tunate beings were arrested and shipped off by mistake for other persons! “This.” the anthor says, ‘was how arrests were mad ‘The police agent goes to the house of John Saith, for instance, for the purpose of arresting him, He istold that Jobn Smith is out. ‘And you, who are you?’ asks the spy. ‘So and 60, who ha come also to look for John Smith.’ * Where were you born, and where do you live’ *Iamanative of the island, and live in sueh a place.’ ‘Very well, it's ail the same; I'll arrest you instead of Smith." Twill r ‘& few facts, that the trath may not be qnestionod: “ A apy went to arrest José Ambrosio Chavez. He was not at home, and the man arrested José Maria Chenay, mistaking the names, When Chaves learned of the mistake he presented himself to the thorities, He also was sent to the Cabafia, and both went to Fernando Po. “Jos6 Manuel Mora, ® young man, had just ar- rived from Europe; bis father, the distinguished patriot José Maria Mora, was being hunted for, and in order to give him a chance tu escape, for be was in the same house, the young man person they we or, His sacrifice a: his father, and although al! the Spaniards in Ha- ‘vana were cognizant of this action, which a coward alone woud not applaud, young Mora was sent to Fernando Po. “Alexander Acosta y Romero, a half-idiot boy, was sent by his employer into Reme tios on some er- rand on @ horse whose tail wes cut. On that very day a large party of insurzents had appeared in the neighboriiood of Remedios, They were all mount: ed on horses with docked tails, and this fact alone was enough to send this poor boy, the most harm- lees being in the world, to Fe do Po. “An old man, Nicolas Donato Garcia by name, re- siding in the rural district of Comauani, in the Jurisdiction of Remedios, had three sons sick, two of them seriously, and a daughter had just expired.

The tail of bis horse was docked, and the medicines might be for some wounded insurgent! He was taken to prison, and the Alcalde, Alonzo Rubiera,sbat him up in @ narrow cell, and kept him there three days without a bed, without food, and without water, A Spanish soldier, recently arrived froin the Peninsula, who happened to be on guard, heard his groans, broke e lock of the cell, gave him food and water, and came near killing the monster Rabiers, Nicolas Donato Gareia went to Fernando “Another old man, Manuel Abren, covered with sores and very ill, went to recover @ sum from José Foyo, an Asturian, living in Remedios, who had just got out of Jail, where he had been contined many months for forgery. Foyo was a volunteer, and said to Abreu, ‘Walt here for me in my house; I will retarn immediately and bring you the money.’ He went into the street and returned in a few min- ates with two volunteers, He arrested Abreu, eva- ded paying his debt, and poor old Abrea wus sent to Fernando Po.” ‘Arrests were made for personal revenge and for personal interest, Afew of the ariested manazed to purchase their freedom by Leavy ransoms, but of the 980 exiles on the Borja, the case of not a sin- gle one was ever investigates. ‘Ae may be imagined, the passengers were drawn from every rank and class of lire, Among them Were bankers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, profes sors, and planters, Every profession and every trade was represented. The ages of theve victias embraced boys of sixteen and old men of eighty ‘The author admite that in his opinion Gen, Dulce ordered them to Fernando Po amply because he did not wish to shed their blood, which the voluateers wore incessantly clamoring for when they were con- fined in the Morro and Cabofia 80 completely, however, were the volunteers masters of Havana, that they claimed the rient to guard the prisoners on the Borja anti! their ar rival at Fernando Po, and the demand was acceded toby Dulce, ‘The particular regiment from which thetr escort of 85 8 detailed was called the “Orden,” and was composed of prisoners from the Jaile of Havana and Matanzas, and from the chaio gang; and to thi iment eligibility was in exact ratio with the depth of criminality of the applicant. The Francisco de Borja, although the author does not describe her, must have been a slow sailer, for she took no less than 65 days to cross the Atlantic, arriving at Fernando Po on the 25th of May, From this passage, however, must be deducted the few days’ delay tn coaling and watering at Sun Juan de Porto Rico, and at St. Vincent, one of the Cape Verd islands, ‘That the Cubane, bowever, ever reacted Fernando Po alive seems almost miracn lous. ‘They had among them about $100,000 in guid, and aregularly organized plot to murder them ail and possess themselves of this money was gol up bY the volunteers, beaded by their eaptain, Manuel Trueba y Sofludo, ‘This man actuslly proposed it at table to all the oMeers, bot! naval and volunteers, suying that the hour to exccate it had arrived; bat he was opposed by the excutive ofleer of the Borja, Fidel Borryo, who indignantly provestet against #0 wtrocions a crime, The Cubans, however, must have parted with a conrideruble quantity of their money en tho prs sage, Mr, Vulmased. gives an Interesting bill of are, which will compare favorably with the prices of our fashionable restaurants, A roast fowl cost of chocolate, 50 hin of beef, #1 , $51; @ bottlo of ale, $1; a bottle of Water, 9c, and when it began to run short Everything bad to be paid for on board, and at most ettravagant rates; and as some of the prisoners were poor, aud others bad been shipped imme diately after their arrest, and before they could obtain funds from their friends, the better provided bad to, Assist their needicr brothers in misfortune.

The Governor required three days to make p his mind as to whether he would allow the exiles to Innd, foaring they would create ® famine in the place ; but at length, when,convinced that cholera or tome other epidemic would inevitably break out on board, he reluctantly yielded his consent. The ad. dress with which this oMeial received them is typteal of Spaniards all the world over. “Iam the man," he said, “who excels all others in kindness, If I meet an ant in my path I step aside, in order not to destroy it.
