NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April 16.-A newspaper
correspondent recently had an interview
with Senator Sprague on the suhjses Of
his late startling speech. The Senator
says that he intends to keep ct his work,
and not TO fold his arms and see the
country 20 to the'deviI. He coBfesses to
bs erszy in the sense that all great re-
formers are crazy; he is not bidding for
toe Presidency, and would not take it
unless he was permitted to sppoint whom
be choose to office. In a big bundle of
letters, asking for copies OF his late
speech, only two came from Rhode
Island, where, he said, the truth about
the great family monopoly was unpal-
atsble.

The Times editorislly comments on the
proposed demand for the recognition Of
Cuba by the United States, and says the
plea for such recognition may be urged
BY Great Britain and France in justifea-
ton Of their recognition of tee S,uthern
C~onfederacy. If the House resolutions are
right nov, they were right in 1851. We
msy accord bsiIigereGt rights to an in
s%urreetion, which, by comparison, Is
tridjpg. They were warranted IN pro-
claiming the ~belligerent privileges of q
rebellion, which, by comparison, was
gigantic. From this dilemma there
is no deliyeFanee. The proposition vas
rendered more striking by the fresh
phases that have been impaired to the
Alsb2ms controversy. The refusal to
ratify the Clarendon Johnson treaty
proceeds on the assumption that a great
wrong was done by the recognition OF the
COnfeteTscy. The hypothesis will be
demolished, if tho demand for the Cuban
T cOg1ition were complied with. We
must be consistent in this matter, or
limit the Alabama controversy to the
single question Of money.
