FANATIcIsM-An abolitionist contemporary
publishes number Of prurient details in refer
ence to the maltreatment of female slave by
her mistress in Kentucky. They are not pub
lished as ordinary matters of news, but are given
in large type and in prominent position; the
object being to convey the idea that the insti-
tuition of slavery was answerable for them, and
that such horrors were common occurrences
under its sway. The inadvertent honesty which
prompted the completion Of the story, including
the Indignation of the neighboring shareholders,
renders it hardly necessary to point out the
gross unfairness Of attempting to hold the insti-
tuition of slavery responsible for such crimes.
Slavery has no more to do with them than free
DOM. Our police courts constantly try cases
quite as shocking and even more revolving.
On hearing of them, monarchists cry: All |!
you see the results OF democracy see
what republicanism engenders! Just in the
same narrow.minded way when the abolition
lists hear of piece Of cruelty down South, they
cry: All! you see the fruits of slavery

Our New MINISTER TO SPAN-The Hon.
Augustus Caesar Dodge leaves the United States
this day, in the steamship Pacific, to enter upon
the discharge of his diplomatic duties at Ma.
drid. The Marcy policy having wholly triumph
Cd in the Cabinet, it is understood that his in
structions are Of the most pacific character, and
that whatever alarm may have been created in
the minds of loyal Spaniards by the publication
of the recent doings at Ostend will be dispelled
by the first interview between Mr.. Dodge and
the Spanish Minister. All accounts concur in
stating that Gen. Concha and Commodore Nc
Cauley are on the very best of terms and that
in that quarter there is no longer any serious
ground of apprehension Mr.. Dodge's Office is
likely to be purely honorary.

FIRST EFFECTS OF THE PROHIBIToRY LAW
CHANGES IN OUR HOTEL SYsTEM-The Prohibi-
tory Liquor law has already effected quite
revolution among the fashionable hotels, and
yesterday the per diem price of board at the
ST. Nicholas, the Astor, the New York, and the
Clarendon, was increased from two dollars and
half to three dollars. That the principal
reason for this increase is found in the
passage of the new liquor law there is
no doubt. The hotel keepers probably
desire to make up for the diminished
sales of liquor by the charge of the extra
half dollar per day for board. 1t is also true
that, during the past two or three years. the Ame-
rican hotel system has been quietly undergoing
q radical change in its management, and, hay
ing attained the height of luxury, it bids fair
to take the other tack and consult economy
The present per diem system has many evils,
which were lately pointed out very strongly
by gentleman who once conducted the most
fashionable and most profitable hotel in the
United States. Under the present system, in
many cases a few persons get the best rooms in
the hotel the best places at the table and the NOR
ceaur choisis of the cuisine, and pays no more
than the unknown guest who gets a back room
in the sixth story, and perhaps does not eat
meal in the house during his stay while, in
another case, desperate glutton luxuriates
in everything on the carte. eating two
or three times his moneys worth The
American system originated in Western
extravaganza and abundance. When every
thing was cheap, the hotel keeper could give
the best Of every thing for two dollars day,
and receive handsome return for his labor.
Now, what with bad times, bad debts and bid
crops, he cannot get his money back-to say
nothing of time and labor.
All these facts have combined to turn the
attention of New York landlords to what is
called the European system-that is, tuparate
charges for rooms and meals; and we have
now dozen hotels on this plan. Some of
them are entirely new, and fitted up in the very
best style. 1t is remarkable fact that The
Irving House, once the most popular hotel in
America, is now undergoing alterations to fit it
for hotel on the European plan. That this
plan has many advantages, no one will doubt,
and that II is gradually growing into favor
here is shown by the increase of hotels kept
upon this method. 1t is more economical than
the American system, if one is contented with
a decent room and moderate fare IL can be
made, however, much more expensive. IL
would perhaps be advisable to retain the best
points of the two systems mixture of Ameri-
can enterprise and liberality with European
conservatism and economy.

Political PARs0Ns.-n Dr.. Tying and Mr..
Chaplin had lived two centuries ago In Spain or
even in Massachusetts, they would have led
much happier lives than they are likely to lead
here. They might have abused people who
differed from them without word of remon-
STRANGE and on great occasions, they might
easily have enforced their doctrines with the
halter, the knife or the faggot. II is their mis-
fortune and our happiness that these privileges
are now denied them.
The fact is, the tendency of our clergymen
Protestant as well as and perhaps more than
Catholic to NEEDLE in political affairs is be-
coming more and more alarming. OF course
in one point of view, q man does not cease to
be a citizen on becoming q ministe. nor is
his right to hold and express opinions on pub
lie affairs in any way lessened. But though his
right remains the same, his duty is very
different. As a minister of the Church of
Christ, his flock are taught to think he speaks
on all occasions the words of truth. His preach.
ing is admitted to be so unanswerable that it
is contrary to usage and etiquette to discuss it.
When he prays no man dissents. 1t is of the
essence Of his calling, and among the chief
sources Of his power that he should never be
supposed by his own congregation to go wrong.
Children are brought up in robust unques.
tioning faith in his wisdom and honesty
"what the minister says" is conclusive in any
argument.
1t is from knowledge of this circumstance,
that the sagacious Church Of Rome has ever
since the Reformation warned her clergy
against intermeddling in political disputes
lest by being found in the wrong, their igno-
rance or infirmity should be exposed, loss of
influence should follow, and religion be the
final sufferer. 1t is from ignorance of the
same that DR.. Tying, DR.. Chaplin and other
clergymen are mixing in the pending discus
sion Of the prshibitory law. They may believe
they are right, and probably do. But will that
do them any good if half their congregation
think differently, believe they are wrong, and
cease to respect or rely upon them as formerly?
The churches may depend upon it, the people
of New York will in the end do what is right
in this matter Of spirituous liquors, with or
without their interference. The only possible
effect of that interference will be to give to
some few clergymen questionable reputation
as demagogues, and to lower generally the cha
racter Of their calling

Mr.. Fabens, whose recent newspaper contro-
versy with Senior Marcoleta, the Minister fro m
Nicaragua, has resulted in binding over the
Kinney expedition to keep the peace, turns out
to be rather an important character in connec-
ton with the grand enterprise.
Our readers will recollect that Mr.. Fabens
was our Consul at Grey town when Captain Hol-
Inns hauled up the sloopofwar Cyane in front
of that unfortunate settlement, or that scamp
of savages," as the President has been gra-
ciously pleased to call it. It will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Fabens was somewhat instru-
mental in securing the bombardment and burn-
ing of the town. Cui bono What for2 To
make money out OF it, as we understood the
case. Mr.. Fabens, as we learn, had secured
for trifle certain rich lands in Nicaragua,
which, if they could only be brought under
Yankee American enterprise, would soon become
exceedingly valuable property. The question
then was, how can we bring these Yankee
squatters in here. Get the United States into
war and get the Yankees to come in as vo-
lunteers and they are bound to stick Hence
the whole OF that chapter of accidents, from
the row kicked up by our Minister, Major Bor-
land, and the breaking of that whiskey bottle
over his nose, down to Mr.. Pierce's demand
for indemnity and bombardment of Grey
town.
These incidents and accidents were all, we are
told, parts and parcels Of deliberate scheme to
draw our government into war in Central
Aroor;oo on no "a y,oLo or oror;po for vopLao
enterprise, and squatters, and hard cash, into
the rich lands brought up for little or nothing
by certain Yankee American spectators in
those prolific regions.
The bombardment of Greytown failed of its
object, and the Yankees in Central America
next turned their eyes towards the Kinney ex-
petition to the Mosquito purchase Of Cost
johnson, Cooper & Co. But Mr.. 10. White,
of the Nicaragua California line, put spoke
in the wheel of this Kinney movement, which
stopped it. He saw after joining 1t, that it was
filibustering scheme, that it would disturb
the interests of the Nicaragua Transit Compa-
ny in consequence, and SO he instantly aban-
doned Mr.. Kinney, and left him to the mercy of
Marcy. Thus the first projected Kinney
expedition has exploded. Next Mr.. Consul
Fabens comes on here from Greytown. He has
private lands in Nicaragua. Surely he has the
right to settle them. Good idea. Col. Kinney
adopts it. His armed colonists will settle on
the lands of Mr.. Fabens. The expedition is re-
organized accordingly, and the day is appoint
ed for the sailing Of the first ship load of the
armed occupation. But here Senior Marcoleta
steps in, and Col. Kinney is bound over to
keep the peace.
We would now advise the gallant Colonel to
give up the job entirely, and embark with Mr..
Fabens and the whole Kinney expedition to aid
in settling the question of squatter sovereignty
in Kansas. Good lands in Kansas at dollar
and o quarter an acre.
