The plot is thickenng in Germany. Ba-
varia, Saxony, and Wdromberg are opposed to
the annexation schemes Of Prussia. France sides

slapping.
Now tho question Of the propriety or i'm
propriety of recognizing the bcllgerency of
the Cubons is n matter for tho decision Of
Congress ; but to tho Executive of this coun.
try arc intrustcd both the charge Of our
national honor and the means of forcing
redress If such honor be outraged.
That Spain has outraged us because she
thinks we fear her. is proved by her every
action. Our Consul in Havana lately had to
repair on board British man -of.war in
order to confer with an American citizen,
against whom no shadow of charge existed.
Tho same British man-of war escorts the
inoGtnsivo but prosecuted American out Of
Havana. A Spanish vessel of war Is de-
spatched to Key West to enforce any de-
mands she may choose to mako on our Fed
cral authorities. The Madrid papers openly
assert it, and the Spanish Ambassador in Ber-
lin loudly boosted that "by means Of threats
Spain had been able to obtain in Washington
the diplomatic success which the Cabinet of
President GRANT had conceded"
History has ever repeated itself, and will
probably continue to do 80 until tho end of
time. 1t may be as well, before it is too
late, for President GRANT TO remember the
consequences of the misconstrucd apathy of
tho English Cabinet in 1868, and for Mr..
FISH to take warning by tho fate Of Lord
ABERDEEN and the oblivion TO which his pu
sillanimous conduct consigned him.

that we dare not demand satisfaction. We

enemies, and gunboats by which her navy
may be released from the blockade of that

We do not hesitate to say that Spain

DRY # gallant gentleman and generous enemy
when it says that Mr. BURLINGAMs in his quarrel
with PREsroS Books at Washington some sixteen
years ago, acted in a manner unbecoming brave
man. It was BRooKs who showed the white
feather, was admitted even by his friends at
the time, and the prestige which the doughty fire.

considerably shaken by the affair with Mr.. Bur
LISGAME, The latter gentleman, it will be remem.
bered, was for words spoken in debate challenged
by Brooks, who evidently supposed that the
Northerncr would shrink from duel. But he
was mistaken. Mr.. BuRLINGAMg promptly accept
ed the challenge, named rides as the weapons for
the encounter, and Canada as the place Of meet
ing or pistol-shooting he knew nothing, but lis
early life on the Western frontiers had familiar
lied him with the use of the rifle and il BnooKs
had come to the scratch, it is not improbable that
there might have been n vacancy in the South
Carolina delegation. But this Mr.. Brooks had no
intention Of doing. lie pretended to fear per-
sonal violence in passing through the Northern
States to meet his opponent in Canada, and after
considerable discussion backed squarcly out Of
the hght.
This prctence Of personal danger will strike
the unprcjudccd reader as a shallow device TO
get out of an unpleasant scrape. If Mr. Books
had really wished hostile meeting with Mr.
BUnLISGAME, nothing would have been easier
than to quietly leave Washington travel under
an assumed name, and proceed at once to the
place of meeting, which was not at the Clifton
House, Niagara Falls, as the Enquirer says, but on
Navy Island, an uninhabited and thickly wooded
island in the Niagara river, where he would have
been free from interruption. Had he killed his
antagonist he could have taken refuge in Canada,
or have returned to Washington az secretly and
rapidly as he left it. When the challenging pa rty
resorts to such pretcXt TO escape the consc-
quenccs OF his act, the presumption is that he does
not mean business, or in other words, is a coward
That such was the opinion of Mr. BuRLING AuE
himself is evident from the manner in which he
referred 10 the affair in a statement published
some weeks aitcrward. "Selfrcspcct," he said,
"requircs me to say that can never again recog.
