Captain John C. Winder.

We have already announced that Captain
JOHN G. WINDER has been appointed Su-
perintendent of the Wilmington and Man
chester Railroad. The selection is not
only well merited, but has been rendered
to him without application upon his part,
and is conferred upon the recommendation
of President BRIDeERs, with whom Captain
WINDER has been officially associated
during the past few years, and who thus
became acquainted with his qualifications
for the important position to which he has
been appointed.
A long and intimate association with
Captain WINDER enables us to congratulate
the Company upon the wisdom of the
selection, and while regretting to part
with General MAcRAE, we welcome The
coming of an ola friend to fiji his place.
Captain WINDER takes formal charge of
the road tomorrow.

THE NEUTRALITY RESOLUTIONS BE-
FORE CONGRESS.
From the ". Y. Herald.

From the W y. Herald.
Almost every day. for some weeks past, the
Washington correspondents have been telling
the public that the Committees on Foreign
Affairs of both houses of Congress were about
to do something, or had agreed to do some-
thing, favorable to the Cubans. A number
of resolutions to that effect have been offered
and referred to these committees. But the
mountain has brought forth nothing yet; and
if we may Judge from the latest reports it will
only give birth to little mouse after all. The
result of all the resolutions, speeches, confer
ences of the Foreign Committees and
labors of the friends of Cuba is likely to
be only string of neutrality resolutions
that will put the Spaniards and the
Cubans on the same footing. This is
very small mouse for such mountain to
bring forth. Perhaps this would be better
than nothing, though it comes late to bene-
fit the insurgents materially, and after Spain
has received all the aid in war materials she
needed from the United States. Never
before did so great nation as this exhibit
such weakness and vacillation. But the ad-
ministration and Congress seem paralyzed by
timidity. Neither the public voice nor public
policy can dispel their fears or nerve them to
face this question in manlyspirit. No Won
der that Spain is boastful and threaten
ing no wonder that American citizens
are BlauBHUeT0u Will Wy bhO
bloodthirsty Spanish volunteers no Won
der that our Consuls, the representa-
tives of this great Republic, are obliged
to flee for their lives aud to take shelter under
foreign flag. The conduct of the Govern
ment must make every true-hearted American
feel deeply the shame and humiliation brought
upon the country. Instead of these neu-
trality resolutions, why does not Congress
direct the President to acknowledge the bel
ligerency of the Cubans? No unprejudiced
person can deny the fact that the Cubans are
belligerents. Eighteen months of war against
all the power Spain could bring to bear and
the successes of the Cubans prove beyond
doubt that these people have won the charac-
ter of belligerents. This country ought to hail
the opportunity afforded to extend republican
institutions in this hemisphere, instead of
aiding European despotism-and the worst
despotism in the civilized world-to crush the
rising liberties of an American people. Every
principle of policy, right, justice, and hu-
manity calls for prompt recognition of the
Cubans as belligerents. Spain would have
no just cause for complaint. We owe her
nothing. She recognized the Confederates
early in our war and gave them most efficient
aid. Are we afraid of Spain? If so let US
tell the Cubans plainly that we abandon them.
But let us not pursue weak and vaclllating
policy, for that will make the mighty Ameri-
can republic contemplate in the eyes of the
world.

become the teacher OF others. Until she in
ours that discipline she should be sparing of
reproach or incubation. There are some
rights which are unjustly withheld from
women. That of learning to speak and write
the English language correctly is not among
them. Anybody can do that without break
ing the laws or getting up revolution. 1t is
superfuous to point out to Miss Couzens the
Importance of these accomplishments to the
orator or the literary woman, or to demon
strate to her the weight which they will lend
to any lessons which she may hereafter be
called upon to teach, or any reproaches which
she may be moved to bestow.
We had q word to say about the Re0oIu-
tS0n, the teapot in which these little tempests
break and ravage. 1t assails, with great
coarseness and indecenoy, lady who is en-
ployed upon our staff of reporters. Its Ian
guage is such that we cannot quote it without
offense to our readers, SO we had perhaps
better pass it by. The lady thus assailed does
not clamor in public for rights, but accepts
duties and performs them faithfully; and the
language in which the Re0OJutiOn refers TO
her is a reproach upon itself, which it will
take much time and good behavior to oblite-
rate. Some respectable ladies are, We be-
lieve, associated with its conduct. If they
accept contributions from unworthy editors,
they ought to revise them, SO that the
paper may be read by their daughters without
shame.

THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
From the ~ Y Sun


The Young Democracy have glorious op-
portunity before them. They can now re-
form the government of this city, give us
honest elections, honest voting and honest
counting, honest enforcement of the laws,
honest men in Office, honest taxes, and honest
municipal expenditures. They can produce
here better condition of public affairs than
has existed within any mans remembrance.
The way to this happy consummation seems
plain and easy. The great enemy of the
Young Democracy announces that he will
now do the very work he has prevented
their doing The Grand Sachem of Tam
many proclaims himself the champion of
municipal reform! Such is the virtue of
little adversely. 1t has converted Tweed
himself. He will bring in charter in which
no man will be allowed to hold more than
one office; in which the Board of Supervisors
will be abolished, and its functions be GEN.
tired in the Board of Aldermen; in which
that board will be elected by general ticket;
in which there shall be no commissions, save
possibly such as are ornamental and receive
no pay; in which the Mayor shall be charged
with suitable responsibilities, and have
powers in proportion; in which the tax levy
shall be fixed here without reference to
Albany, as in other counties of the State; and
by which efficiency will be secured and rob-
berry prevented in every department.. Now,
we say this is good news, almost too good to
be true. If Mr.. Tweed really introduces
such charter, he will be doing precisely
what the Young Democracy have desired to
do, and what he has done his best to defeat
them in. Let him go ahead, then, and if he
succeeds as well in this new character as in
that he has hitherto sustained, why every
body will admit that he is wonderful man.
The opportunity of the Young Democracy
is to stand by judiciously and help the Grand
Sachem in this novel line of business. 1t
matters not SO much to them what indivi-
dual proposes the necessary measures as that
they shall be radical and comprehensive. The
gallant men who have so far led this memo
rable combat in the Legislature need not fear
that they will be forgotten by the people
because they have forced the foe of all reform
to come forth as the advocate of the very
changes he detests. Let Mr.. Tweed hurry up
his vaunted charter, and let it be made a law
as soon as it is examined and found to con-
tain the features he has promised.
