Madrid in the absence of the American
Minister, in which the subject was directed to
be'brought to the attention Of the Spanish
government. In that despatch Secretary Fish
recognized the citizenship of Dr. Houard, and
held that the action Of the Spanish authorities
in Cuba in trying him by court martial, and
their refusal to furnish record of the proceed
ings of the court and of the testimony adduced
against him, was a clear infraction of the
seventh article of the Treaty of 1895, made
between Spain and the United States
Our Charge d'Affaires was therefore
directed to demonstrate against the
proceedings of the Cuban court martial
as a violation of the provisions of
that treaty and to ask the immediate release
of the prisoner. But three days afterwards
Secretary Fish appears to have gained new
light on the subject, for on March 12 he ad-
dressed communication to the Vice President
of the United States, in which he reviews DR..
Houards case in manner by no means favor
able to the prisoner. The Secretary shows that
the long residence of DR.. Houard in Cuba, and
his enjoyment of certain privileges to which
are attached the right to become Spanish SUBJ
ject, in some degree justified the Spanish
authorities in regarding DR.. Houard as subject
to their jurisdiction, while, on the other hand,
he says, nothing whatever had been brought
forward in the Doctors behalf to illustrate
or prove his assertion at any time of
American citizenship until the misfortune of
his arrest and imprisonment occurred. Secre-
tary Fish, in this remarkable letter, which we
publish elsewhere in connection with our spe
cial cable despatch from Madrid, goes on to
review the evidence against DIR. Houard, and
declares that it was of a character that would
have convicted party accused of the same
offence during our war. The Secretary adds:
''The strong point which prevents the inter-
vention of this government in behalf of Dr.
Houard from becoming efficacious for his re-
! lease is the fact that he has been regularly

The Eungoist gives MS a chapter on ''Scn-
sationaism in Sunday Schools deprecates
the introduction of books of the stamp of
Oliver OPTICS, or others that are scarcely less
inappropriate, into Sunday school libraries,
and states that in some cases religious fiction
forms the staple of the library. and the flood Of
it which is poured broadcast over the land is
originated and patronized by the demand
from Sunday schools. What pity il is that
the pure and charming productions of SOLVER
Optic productions that are so pleasing and
beneficial to the youthful mind-should come
under the ban of our straitlaced
Presbyterian contemporary Unprejudiced
people must hold that anything that tends to
awaken an interest in religion in the
tender mind of youth is in the line of doing
good work; it is planting as it were, seeds
that may in time take root, grow, blossom and
bear fruit in the glorious vineyard of the
Lord.
The Independent regards the abolishment OF

THE model reformer, Lyman Trumbull,
differs from George Washington in one
important respect. While the " Father Of
his Country = would accept no pay for his
services during the Revolution, except his
actual expenses, the conscientious Lyman,
who couldn't tell a lie except for Greeley,
accepted the modest fee of $4,000 for
serving the government few hours in the
Supreme Court. Such fees daring the ses-
sion Of Congress makes Senator's position
quite profitable. They leave in the shade
Schurz's speeches at $3.50 night.

of $50, for1he Survey of the James

Mr.. Platt laid the Foundation of all the APP

Now, it may be we'll submitted whether
any Representative of Virginia in the past,
can exhibit such evidences of constant,
faithful and efficient representative service
as Mr.. Plat. If there has been one let
his name be stated.
From the commencement Of the Federal
government to the time of Mr.. Patt's
coming into Congress, not one dollar of
appropriation for river, harbor, or other
improvement was ever procured by a
Virginia Representative. We are informed
that such appropriations have been for more
than half century positively eschewed.
He has done all, In that regard, that has
been done, and surely it cannot be either
policy or justice to discard Representative
who has done so much for important in
terests of the State. when others wEo
figured in her representative council for
near a century have done nothing what
ever, and that, too, when the proposition
is being constantly enforced that in the
present condition of the State political
should be subordinated to national con-
siderations, and that her national develop
ment is her great reliance for the recovery Of
her ancient prosperity and renown.

GREELEY has evidently become con-
scious of the blunder he made in swinging
around the circle, and has probably been
sharply reproved for it by some of his
friends. For in his speech at New York.
upon his return, he undertakes to put the
responsibility entirely upon the committees,
besides declaring that he won't open his
mouth again. 1t is as much as to say !:
swell, if | have Numbered, the blame is
with them; they had no business to let me
co." But these mutual reproaches are the
very depth Of tenderness now compared
with what they will be after the great co..
lapse in November.

THE words of man will ontlive his
honesty. Gratz Brown, while in the
United States Senate, uttered truths that
may well be cherished by his old friends,
who knew him before ambition led him
astray. Though we turn from the man as
he is, we shall give him credit for what he
was. No better description of the two
parties could be given than the one he gave
in the Senate, March s. 1864, Listen to
his words:
You have a Radical party and q Conservative
party, and none other in this nation at this time.
That is the line of delnarcatioa along which
adjustment is actually taking place, and 1t Is In
presence of the real combat, where conflict clears
up theory, that you wi find the true position OF
the politics of the country. The former marches
under the one banner Of immediate freedom as es-
sental to assure progress; the other, under many
flags to preserve sectionalisms, falsify democra-
ces, invite foreign interyentions, and betray the
hope of the people. The one would erappie to
the future and it's precious promises by every
mode and at all cost the other would cash now
the Revolution, and that at the heaviest dis
count, to buy or retain office and power. The
one is born of faith the other is the bastard
scion and representative of compromises. One
is the advance; the other is the reaction.
Brown has deserted the party that "was
born of faith" for "the bastard scion and
representative of compromise" He bears
to-day the banner Of that party that means
"reaction. Yet the party Of advance
moves onward without him. Greater men
than Brown have fallen from the ranks Or
deserted to the camp of the enemy, but
the grand army of freedom and progress
has marched to victory unmindful of the
loss. So it will be in November. The
people bear aloft the standard of right and
justice, and with Grant as their leader will
win triumph as brilliant as any ever won
in the name of liberty.

BADLY COGGED.

The Democratic Liberal machine don't
run as beautifully as was expected out in
Missouri. Things are getting badly cogged,
and the ordinary application of fusl and
other oils fail to meet the exigencies of the
case, or cure the troubles in the tents of the
Greeleyites. The Democrats, seeing that
the nomination of Gratz Brown with Ho-
race Greeley gives them no promise of Ma
tional emolument, have been grasping all
the more important local nominations, and
this has brought Mr.. e. w. Tittman, (signi-
fcant nance chairman of the State Glib.
eral' committee, to demur in the following
fashion:
Information received from various quarters
appears to indicate Rat in several localities in
this State the local Democratic organizations
have pursued the policy of not cooperating
with the Liberal Republicans in the nomination
of candidates for the General Assembly, Con.
gress, and county officers, and that on the con-
and intend to make their own nominations
wheresoeyer they believe themselves strong
enough to succeed without assistance from
party.
From this unfortunate state Of things
Mr.. Tittman perceives no possible extrica-
ton but in treating their Democratic allies
as enemies in local matters, though fighting
it out on the same general line, i'll national
politics. And so Tittman says
This being the case, 1t follows in tho opinion of
