mind and character which will make him
formidable leader Of the Democratic forlorn
hope in that body. II, however, he is beaten
in his Senatorial canvass, his Presidential
prospects will, of course be smothered under
an impenetrable cloud.
Mr.. Vallandigham's position is peculiar.
His recent utterances, and his course during
the campaign just closed in Ohio, very clearly
indicate that he is about to take new depar-
ture in politics. He doubtless sees, as SEN
sible men do, that further attempts to evade
the legitimate results of the war, including
the ratification of the fifteenth amendment,
are alike disngenuous and disastrous If we
mistake not, he regards the conciliatory line
of policy pursued by Governor Walker in
Virginia and Governor Senter in Tennessee,
as the true mode by which the Democratic
party is to regain its former prestige and
power in the nation. He accepts the situa-
tion, repudiates the revolutionary programme
of journals like the World, and adopts the
sagacious suggestion of the Express that il is
of no use to race with dead horses He is
for fighting the next battle on living issues,
and by cordially inviting into the ranks all
who desire to vote the Democratic ticket, he
would make bold push for victory. If Mr..
Vallandigham shall proclaim such liberal
creed as this, and rally to his side the pro-
gressive Democracy of the South and the
positive Democracy of the North, he may
perhaps distance all competitors in the next
National Convention.
Strange to say, in playing such part Mr..
Vallandighams most conspicuous competitor
might turn out to be Chief Justice Chase
To see both these distinguished statesmen
standing on the same platform, and each try
ing to rival the other in an attempt to control
the reconstructed Democracy of the South
through the negro vote, would be a singular
spectacle. To see them strike hands, and
labor in good fellowship to accomplish the
same Objects and thereby secure common
benefit and defeat common opponent, would
be still more astonishing. And yet such
result is among the possibilities Of the COM
ing two years.
Politicians may be assured that the South
is to act an important part in the selection of
the next Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency, and it is high time that aspiring lead
ers should base their calculations upon this
inevitable condition of things. At all events,
the recent elections have demonstrated that
the Democracy must turn over new leaf,
and right speedily too, if it is to hope for
victory in 1872. Regret it whoever may,
politicians of the type of Packer and Pendle-
ton have had their day, and no statesmen see
this more clearly than Vallandigham and
Chase.

SPANISH BARBARITIEs IN CUBA.

SPANISH BARBARITIES IN CUBA.
From the " Y. Herald.
The letter of the poor Cuban prisoners who
were massacred by the Spanish soldiers at
Jiguani to the foreign consuls, which we pub
lished on Monday, shows how these unhappy
people dreaded the fate that befell them.
This appeal to the Consuls of England, France,
Prussia, and the United States would not have
availed under any circumstances, probably,
but could not if even the Consuls had been
disposed to interfere, for the signers of it
were dead men before any action could have
been taken. Such is the brutality of the
Spanish soldiers and Spanish volunteers that
these unfortunate Cuban prisoners appre-
hended violence or death from those who
should have guarded and protected them.
Their language is extremely touching and
prophetic. Their language is extremely
touching and prophetic. They say:--"We do
not fear the sentence of the authorities we
do not fear to stand before any tribunal;
we do not fear the rancorous hatred of
our enemies, nor the ISLANDERS so freely cir
culated against us for the crime of daring
to be liberals; but we have dreadful appre-
hension as to what will be our fate and that of
our families, and then, as if foreseeing their
fate, they add: And this apprehension is
converted into q horrible fear when we call
to mind our imprisonment, with the circum-
stances of which you are acquainted-that
deed which, had its full intent been carried
out, would have deprived several innocent
men of their lives, men whose removal was
wrapped in mystery like our own--and this
fear is converted into terrible reality when
we reflect that in lonely region, in the
midst of civil war, we, accused of political
otfenses which have never been proved, may
| meet our death from an attack, an encounter
simple skirmish, mere suspicion from those
having us in charge How surely and dread
fully did these poor victims of Spanish op-
preston realize the fate they apprehended
They were murdered in "a lonely region by
the brutal guards who escorted them and
should have protected them. We know of
nothing more horrible in the history of civil
wars. 1t could not have occurred in this
| enlightened and civilized age with any other
people than the Spaniards. 1t is sufficient to
cause our Government and the other govern
| ments of the civilized world to declare the
war in Cuba barbarous one, and to insist,
in the name of humanity, that it must cease.
If there were q spark of courage in the Secre-
| tary of State, or if the administration repre-
sented the American people on this Cuban
| question, such protest would be sent to
Madrid as would startle the Spanish Govern
ment Spain, in the atrocious conduct of
the war in Cuba, has placed herself beyond
the pale of civilization and international
comfy, and should be proclaimed the enemy
| of humanity.

it is certain to result in failure.
contemporary Of our own, which has been
mildly insane on the subject of cooperation
for many years, and which not long ago de-
clared that cooperation was the goal Of our
industrial progress, has now had its eyes
opened, and confessed, on Saturday, that
while cooperation was but "a cropping, feeble
yet earnest, after the light, the plan Of indus
trial partnerships seems "most plausible aud
promising" and was ''simple and practical
ble.' And now comes Lord Stanley, than
whom no man in England or America 10 more
worthy of attention, and pronounces Gin
speech delivered at a workingmens banquet
in Liverpool very much the same opinion.
He praises cooperation, because 'it
is human nature that man should
like to feel that he is "a gamer by
any extra industry he may put forth,
and that he should like to have some
sense of proprietorship in the shop or mill in
which he passes his days" but, when he
comes to describe the cooperation of which
he speaks, he shows that he means industrial
partnerships. "The very best instances of
its working, in my belief, says Lord Stanley
''are those where the men employed hold a
certain number of shares in the undertaking,
the rest being held by the owner Such
testimony as this is of the utmost Importance,
We repeat our declaration, so often before
made, that industrial partnership, and not
cooperation, is the "open sesame" whereby
the cavern in which the wealth of capital has
been so long locked up is to be entered by
labor and these two great forces, hitherto
forced into suicidal opposition to each
other, united in wedding of which the OF
spring shall be peace, prosperity, and happi-
ness.

WHAT LORD STANLEY SAYS.
From, the ". Y. World.

FROM me ". Y. Hefh,
Truth is mighty and will prevail. The
truth about corporation has had hard time
in coming to the front, and for years it has
been kept in the background by all manner of
well-intentioned falacies, or paraded under
such fantastic garbs of theories as sufficiently
concealed its real character. But of late we
have been pleased to see that the more en-
hghtened advocates of corporation for pro
duction, in England as well as in America,
have perceived truth which we have been
declaring for years, and for the advocacy of
which we have perhaps incurred some re
proach. That truth is that when cooperation
for production takes the shape of AN indus
trial partnership it is tolerably certain to sue
ceed; but that when an attempt is made to
carry the theory of cooperation
pure and simple into practice,

tableau is the feast given by Caesar in his ducal
palace; all the voluptuOusness of the East and
depravity of Babylon are rendered most wildly;
wine oyeIfows, q thousand lights glitter, while
ballet nymphs, like sirens, enchant the intOxi-
Gated guests. But the banquet is the Conha-
grafton OF the palace. The stage is covered
with sheet iron, and TO less than 1900 pieces OF
burning embers, supposed to be the beams,
roofs, and walls, are tossed up by artificial
flames. The cracking of the wood, the thun-
dering crash OF dOmes falling in, the writing OF
the spOIas and utter dismaY of the surprised
soldlery, are almost painfully depicted. 1t takes
