encouraging the 6libuster movement, 90 would
now appear for the purpo Of being able to
crush it. Members Of the Cabin have for
weeks past CONVEX ed with Southern gentlemen
in such a way as to lead them to suppose the
government would wink at any attempt to or
ganize parties for the invasion of Cuba; and
we have little doubt, If Mr.. Slidell was placed
in the witness OK he would testify that his re-
cent filibcster speech in the United States
Senate was but an echo of the views expressed
freely to him by at least one Cabinet officer
If any evidence were required to demonstrate
how utterly dishonest is the attempt of the ad-
ministration to induce the public to believe they
are in earnest in their demands upon Spain,
it can be found in the fact, not only that the
President has not asked Congress for dollar
for preparations, but that the Secretary of the
Navy, who has ample authority by law to offer
such bountes for sailors as would command
crews for every vessel in the service, has made
no attempt to man single ship. At the Brook
Ign Navy Yard the Independence has been
lying waiting for q crew for months. At Boston
the Vermont is in similar condition. Of all the
line of battle ships belonging to the navy, not
one is in commission, unless as receiving
hulk. Neither on shore or at sea, are the
slightest preparations being made. And yet
the country is daily alarmed by reports Of war
like messages that are to be sent in to Congress,
and an immediate rupture with Spain The
effect Of such reports is to disturb trade and in
jure, perhaps seriously, our commerce. Is it
not time there shou1d no a atom mt tn tho hmm
bug, and the administration taught to re-
gard the interests Of the commercial portion
Of our community, if it has no regard for COM
mon decency and has abandoned all pretensions
to self respect?

York press is obviously as yet only In
o very primitive stage Of development; a
wide margin for Improvement still exists and
we shall doubtless hereafter see journals as SUI
perior to those Of to-day, as the latter are to
the papers of 1920. But the strides we have
already made seem gigantic. In the space of
twenty years or less, we have centralized
thought in this city, and raised up in few
printing offices 4 power that counterpoises and
controls Congress. The opinions of nine educated
men out of ten throughout this land are formed
by reading the New York journals fyou would
know what will be the sentiments of the country
on any given day, find out what is said in the
metropolitan press which reaches them on that
day. Some half dozen men, in fact, in this city
really do the thinking of the whole American
people, who follow their bidding unconsciously
and reciprocate the boon by reactng on the
minds of their instructors. This is the case
here-it is the case in every free country.
The British mind is formed by the Times the
French mind, when Paris had mind, by the
journals of that city. Our influence is even
greater than theirs our means of usefulness
and Of injury larger. Much evil has been said
of the press in its day, and many fawning IN
true compliments paid to it. Neither matter
much. Our position is in the vanguard of the
nation so long as that prospers the press must
thrive

TIE SNoBDIsH YACHT CLUB.-We know of no
that bears such an uncnviable reputation as the
so-called New York Yacht Club. Since its Or
ganizaton, it has always been noted for its OK
clusiveness, and the ridiculous attempts of IL.
members to ape the aristocracy of the Old
World. Marked by the worst features Of tha;
aristocraog, they are utterly destitute how
ever, of the liberality, which is one of the re
deeming traits of its character, for everything
they do exhibits the most narrow-miad-
ed selfshness and an affectation of refine
ment and elegance, which, to people OF
Judgment and common sense, are supremely
absurd. 1t is a trite saying, but true
one, nevertheless, that there is Only oae step
from the sublime to the ridiculous, and our
yacht club is one Of the best illustrations of it.
They give every year what they call the New
York annual regatta, and yet we may safely say
that four whole population hardly one thousand
are aware of the fact, and lest they might, as is
but natural that they should, desire to witness
it, they carefully withhold all information OF
the time and place. Sometimes it appears in
the papers, but the press are not indebted Tor
the intelligence to the club. Such a society
cannot long exist in our midst, and the day is
not far distant that will number it among
the worthless things of the past. Let us have
yacht club whose character will be more in
accordance with the republican spirit of the
people, or let US have none at all.

THE NEWS FROM CHINA-PRoGREss OF THE
INsuRREcTIoN.-We publish to-day interesting
details respecting the progress Of the insurrec-
ton, from our correspondents in various parts
of China, all of which 60 to prove that it is
rapidly gaining ground, and that before long
the Mantchou dynasty will have ceased to ex-
list. The army Of the rebel chief is still ad-
vancing, and has not met with a single obstacle
worthy of mention. The reported taking of
of Shingpaou to meet the southern body of
rebels, is now admitted by the Peking Gazette
to have been fabrication. The insurgents, on
the contrary, remain in possession not only of
that place but of Tsing-hae. The whole pro-
vince of Gnan-hwuy, with the city of Loo
Choo, has also fallen into their hands. This
province is one of the wealthiest and most
populous in the empire, comprising an area of
4s,46l square miles, with a population present
ing an average of 704 souls to every square
mile. More than two-thirds of the empire may,
therefore, now be said to be in possession of
Thae- ping-wang.
In these advices will also be found the &C.
count of an outrage committed on our flag at
Shanghai by one of the Taoutae's vessels; but
which, owing to the energy and firmness dis
played by Mr.. Murphy, the United States Con-
sui resident at that port, and Lieut.. Guest, one
of the officers of our navy, was promptly vim
dictated. The only excuse that was set up for
firing into boat bearing our flag was that she
contained some round shot, which she had been
in the habit of carrying as ballast. While our
interests are represented by such men as Mr.
Murphy and Lieut.. Guest however, there is no
fear that the American name will lose any OF
its prestige abroad
