ANOTHER DEaoCRA11c BLUNDER.

The stupidity against which even the gods war
unvictOrOus has apparently established itself for
the session upon the Democratic side ofthe House
of Representatives. They began by ind0rsing
the Salary Grab in caucus and allowing the
Republicans TO take the start III denouncing
it. Yesterday they followed up their first
blunder by another of equal tagrancy Mr..
Cox offered resolution for the recognition
of the belligerency of the Cubans and asked
that the rules be suspended for its considera-
ton. The motion was lost by a strict party
vote, the Democrats voting unanimously with
Mr.. Cox They made grave mistake when
they acted on the belief that their constitu-
ents cared nothing forthc Salary Theft. They
make another when they think their support
ers desire the recognition of nbelligerency.
There is a small but very noisy portion of the
Democratic party in New-York who are always
in favor of war and of every measure which
can lead to it. They rely for Expression Upon
few gentlemen who are IN favor of anything
they can make speech about. But the
masses of the Democratic party no more de
sire TO interfere in this Cuban matter than
the masses Of the Republican. Most people
everywhere. of both parties, wish our flag
respected on the seas. and the lives of our
citizens guarded upon land They would
much rather SEQ this accomplished without
war than with it. They do not care to see
our Government putting its fingers into the
cOgs of a machine which will end by taking
III the whole body. The only people who
could logically demand interference at any
cost, are those sincere abolitionists who think
that the destruction of slavery i'll Cuba is an
object so desirable as to justify any illegality
or sacrifice by which it might be accom-
plished But these considerations are
hardly such as would commend themselves to
Mr.. Cox and his friends. They simply I'M
agine that Cuba Libre is popular Issue to
make with the State Department 1t they
knew u little mora of popular sentiment, they
would see they are running before they are
sent and if they had not utterly lost all
political sense they would discover that they
are playing directly into the hands of Gen.

consider the situation. The session continued
all night. and short address to the people
was adopted. in which some of the misrcpre-
sentations of the opponents of the Constitu-
ton are corrected, and especial pains is taken
20 inform the people that the decree affects
only the question of officers by whom the
election is to be conducted in Philadelphia.
They recommend prompt and cordial acqui
cscence in the decree, and urge the necessity
of defeating the purposes of those "who for
personal and selfish reasons seek to prevent
Il" the reforms which the people demand The
next move of the Ring will be watched with
interest. They are apparently quite conscious
that it il a life and death struggle. and will
leave no means untried TO defeat the will of
the people. If the reports from the interior
of the State can be relied on they will fail,
and the new Constitution will be adopted III
spite of them.

MR.. BRTTTON'S LATEST DEVfCE.

The examination in strict-Attorney Brit
toms misconduct yesterday again illustrated
how practice has made him skillful in the
misuse of Grand Jures. The method en-
ployed by him TO protect his King friends, as
shown in this instance, is at once so bold and
shameless that we refer to it here, nOtwith-
standing Its close relation to THE TRIBUNE'S
own affairs.
On a complaint Of Judge McCue Of Brook
Ign that The TRIBUNE had rectcd certain
charges against him which, if true, he said
he ought to be indicted, or which, if false,
he claimed that the Editor of the paper ought
to be indicted, an attachG of this Office IA
miliar with the facts was summoned before
the Grand jury and questioned by the Dis
lrict-Attorney. No effort whatever was made
to elicit proof of the charges or to inquire
into their truth. The only questions asked
by Mr.. BrittOn-but three in number
related solely to the internal affairs of The
TRIBUNE Office. But one of the jurors asked
the witness if he had any evidence to sustain
the charges made in the article complained of.
The witness promptly began his statement
of the authority for the article, and
mentioned among others the name of
ant, as witness, and was proceeding
TO give another with half a dozen more IN
reserve), when District-Attorncy BrittOn in
terrupted him and instructed the Grand Jury
not to receive his statement and his list of
witnesses. This was the whole evidence
elected by this vigilant District Attorney rel
alive to McCue, except what it then became
necessary to produce in order TO whitewash"
him.
And the manner Of this mancuver was
worthy the skill Of Mr.. Britton. In order to
give Judge McCue clean bill OF character
Mr.. Daniel Chauncey was called into the
Grand Jury room he gave certain testimony,
not known and only limited at yesterday
the Grand Jurors were tricked into signing q
paper generating the Judge from the charges
which they had been prevented from exam
ining the editor of THE TRIBUNE was in
dcted, and his subordinate was sent to Jail
for contempt of court in doing that which the
presiding Judge in sentencing him declared
was an honorable act to do, and for which he
complimented the prisoner.
Now mark the point. Tn the article
complained Of published in THE TRIBUNE Of
August 80, this same Daniel Chauncey is
Jointly charged with Judge McCue with all the
offenses named. Chauncey insfact is named
first in every instance as the principal.
Could more unfit witness have been
used, il there had been any real purpose Of
eliciting the facts about McCue's alleged mis-
conduct There has rarely been q greater
trayesty of justice than this Infamous pro-
ceeding. 1t is enough for the present to say
that 1t at once illustrates the poverty of the
Ring in the matter of character and the
desperation into which Tue TRIBUNE attacks
have driven them.

pROF PROC1OR,S LECTURES.

Among the distinguished Englishmen who
during the past year or two have come to our
shores, bearing intellectual gifts to be laid
upon our lecture desks, there are few preceded
bv a more Justly earned fame than Richard
Anthony Proctor. His best known work
struck a popular key and most OF us who
have found this world In which sorrows are
mingled with our purest joys, lent
willing ear to the description of "Other
"Words than Ours" Nor are we
yet prepared to resign the visions
which he evoked for us, of far off, happy orbs,
in whose protecting atmOspheres nobler race
of beings might have been nurtured; In
whose luxuriant gardens the trail of the ser
pent was unknown. A more extended knowl-
edge, equipped with keener Instruments has
since then torn away in many instances the
clouds on which these pictures rested /; but the
scenes AZ they were drawn by science and
painted by Imagination, will remain upon our
memories forever.
II was the good fortune of Mr.. Proctor that
his intellectual birth. so TO speak, took place
in the very recent era Of scientific discovery.
Other eminent students of nature, comparable
with him in the extent of their knowledge,
and perhaps in the penetrative power of ge-
MUS, Which nnl2eks The doors that refuse to
yield to the most skilfully constructed
formulas of thought make their attack
upon the problems of the present,
carrying indeed the weapons of experience,
but burdened with the prejudices of the past
Proctor had nothing to unlearn. His first
scientific publication appeared only ten years
ago His progress in knowledge. skill, and
reputation has been singulary rapid, leaving
its traces IN q series of brilliant treatises, III
number, one for every half year.
The great uprising of interest throughout
this country in respect to oil matters pertain
ing to science, is more than justified by the
recent rapid strides which have been made In
various departments Of research. The advance
has been greatest and most surprising ID the
class of Investigations with which Mr.. Proctor
is most familiar. Coming to us in the zenith
of his fame he is of all others best fitted to
open before lis the vistas of infinite space
into whose depths he has so often
pointed his telescope and from whose incOn
ceiyable distances he has brought large
accessions to our knowledge. Whether he
shall lead his audiences among the lOng-known
members of our solar system. or bring them
to look with him into the fiery envelopes of
the sun, or take them to what he has called
"the Borderland of Science we have the
warrant of his past success In feeling assured
OF his ability to give us pure and elevated
thought combined with novel and entertaining
