Thursday, November 20,1873.

GRANT, Williams, Belknap, Kobe foil, Cresswell, Ricliardwn, Delano: The seven wise men of America. In counsel, as wine as doves and as harmless ft" serpents.

ON the principle that It la fepugnant to tho history of the present Administration to let an opportunity to blunder go neglected, Grant will declare war on frpain. If he should not, we will score one to hU credit.

IT seems strange that Democracy Khoutd insist-upon trying to do anything for' Its coun'ry l»y hanging on to tho old name, and chang ing Its principles.!.:'*. Democracy of ail organizations, and Democrats o/iill people, should understand that now wine oit^ht not to be put in old bottles. Enlightened theory and Democratic experience are alike conclusive on tha./ point.

IT would lie interesting to know why the Vlrtfinius fled like a guilty tiling when she discovered tho Tor niulo. An horns', vessel, on honest purpose hent, flying nn honest flag, ou^ht not to pitch .horses aud puns Into the nea, and feed her fires with hud mid bacon, to get away from the nhi|i of |«wer tit peace with the iitr. ion whose 11 ig was at lier masthead. The dhonorers of our flag were they who tookiton a fllllbus ter ng expedition.

UNI/IKS the dispatches of two or three diya ngo ii- about him, there in prominent Government official

New York City, who Is in favor of mulling war on Cuba, for the purj.ose of ascertaining where our weak liens ft* a nation lies. A war would do tliis, and ncc a nation has light to lind out its weakness in its own vvay, therefore we must flgln Cuba. A war of extermination 011 the class of officials, of which this gpihering Idiot, whose opinions have quoted above, is a type, wouli'. go far towa.ds curing a weaknediscovered I»v his insane ranting.

TIIK Journal wants to make war on Spain so as to litierate the poor lo\vn-t odden und oppressed negro slaves in Cuba. The air of America IN too free and pure for a slave to breathe, and that purity and freedom "«l ps over" onto all the adjacent re (•Ions. "Lookers on in Venice" may le^ an I it as truly unfortunate that the Cuban iusurgents or Insurrectionists or rebels as they are variously illid, are the largest slaveholders, and that their struggle for freedom lias about us much refer nee to the liberation of tho slaves, as did a certain American revolution when our

Hvehoiding grandsiros gravely met and declared that all men were born freo and equal, and endowed, with certain inalienable rights, among •hem being liberty.

Tun Journal lias turned pedagogue and is now hard at work, teaching a class of its followers how to spell and define the word "Liberalize." Now this Is good. It shows a proper spirit. We liko it. Calo, the great lloniun Censor, commenced to learn Greek at

80,

and though he only

learned the language in time to take it to thu grave with him, it was a most exc« llent thing in the old Roman. "Liberalize" is a pretty tough old word for aged Democracy tft tackle, now Hint its days are in the fere and yellow leaf and there is small prospect of any utilization of the information after it is acquired still it is a flue thing to see the toothless Jaws of age struggling with a new and difficult language.

TIIK voice of Governor Hendricks Ins, in time past, been raised for peace, and weltuve his plighted faith that bis best endeavors will be direct ed towards maintaining a propei spirit of atuity tween the sisterhood of iStatos constituting ur com polite nation. Tho amability, however, of our Governor appears to have bepn exhausted in thfit effort. Telegraphed to Saturday, by the Cuban Junto in New Yoik, for his opinions on the

Viig'iiiu- matter, the Governor declines tiiat "Spain caunot be permitttd to maintain her authori'y in Cuba ly means which civilized na ti uis regard as atrocious, and—*

i?—the

United States should now ex

tend her sympathy aud power ovei that island." The Governor concludes by snyiug tiiat this is the sentiment of the people of Indiana. Two things are oh sci'vable in this reply of the Governor: First, a tacit acknowledgmen of the ivht uuder the lawof nations, for the tspuni-di authorities to chast the Virgmius and capture her and •crew. Tliis is a pretty strong ac km wledgment Second, the duty of tho United Slates interfere wheuever a nation treat? captured rebels and outlaws in an inhuman manner. As a princli le, this litter doctrine will not stand the test, either as being inherently reasonable or in accordance with well deflueif and establish precedent. If ,th« doctrine of Governor Heudricks Is true, then the United S.ates shoul. have made war on England for blowing Sepoys, from the cannon's mouth, in Indi shou'd have declared wai

France for butcheringComrauHists should have declared war against herself forever/ military executiou. This doctriue will uot hold water Besides, it must notle forgotten tha the Cuban iiisulgent^,- whtnevei they ciptured a 8puui-h soldier, treated him rather a^ Hie*f:»U« call was treated than as the Prodig waused, by h's father.

A 1.KTTEK writer of Terre Haute, in a a mmunication to the Indianapolis Bentinel, |ublilnd therein this morning, takes strong ground in favor of the Democracy of Indiana holding a straight-out convention on the 8th of January. If the leaders of the Democracy—and we take the Sentlnel'scorrespondent to be a lead-' er, since he writes like oue I« authority—have decided to stand by the old oiganization, revive the old ipsue»», fight the old battles, preserve the old name, then bis suggestion of holding a convention on the 8th of January Is a good oue. If Democracy shall ever rgain enter the lists as a Nutional party, it must strive with might and main to recall all the traditions of the time when its power was coextensive with the limits of the country—the strength and glory of Democracy is in its earlier history, its weakness and disgrace In its more immediate past. In order,, therefore, to hide the recent dishonor urtder the earlier honor, nothing could be more fitting than that the 8th of January should be selected as the time for holding the convention. Around it cluster the best memories of the past. If, however, the party which shall undertake to antagonize and overthrow the pernicious doctrines of Republicanism, proposes to fight on present Issues for future securities, it will not rally its hosts by the forgotten, or but dimly remembered, watchwords of a bygone age. Onco upon a time, the 8th of January was a talismanic word, and thero.was power in its ppell for the marshalling of men. That was fifteen or twenty years ago. Then, to the lecd*rsol public opinion, the 8ib of January was a personal experience of a great patriotic event, around which, as a central point, was grouped a number of Issues which Democracy championed from the time of their inception in the minds of the people to their triumphant incorporates Into the laws of the laud. Now all Is changed. Since the last Democratic President took his seat in tho Presidential chair, there has been a mighty rush oi events. Evcuts big with the fate of the nation liavo transpired. The tidal wave of the great rebellion washed oblivious sands upon many political topics, pi lor to that time of prime importance. Men scarcely talk any more about the questions on which political orators of the antewar time fumed and fretted their hour upon the stump, and when they do, it is as of some shadowy piece of political history, without interest save as history. Again, flfteeu yeare works vast changes in the voting population of a nation. Mo3t of the leaders of Democracy in the time of Buchanan, and full one-half of the rank aud file, have gone —well, have gone where the question of whether or not Democracy shall hold an 8lh of January convention is of no more interest to them. With those who remain the question does uot have its old iuterest. Hut of the whole votiug population of the country, ns it now stands, two-thirds are composed of tho lately-enfranchised negroes, who could not be bribed to vote a Democratic ticket, and young men who have attained their majority and a freeman's light to the ballot within the period of the t-hame and disgrace of Democracy. To the latter the 8th of January Is a historical memory, the reactionary tendency of Democracy, a living personal experiQUC0- TUOR® MVITR TWILL to expect the doors of the tombs to open, and the grave to give up its mouldering dead, and the tkeletou forms of ancient Democrats walking herefrom to the convention hall, than there is to believe that the heart of young America will be fired by the hollow call for an 8th of January convention.

However, a i- the birthright of American citizens to do what they please, within limits determined by their neighbors' rights. It will not hurt anybody,, this congregation of spectres, aud marrowlessbowes. They can meet all they want to, aud as often, and if they are really goiDg to try and put the old machine in order, the 8th of Jauuary is as good a time is any to do it. It gives plenty of time to diecuss the personal merits of the candidates, aud here will be some, if all the suggestions tiiat hive been made are carried out, a discussion of whose merits will make migh'y interesting reading to the taxpayers of 'he State. If, however, Democrats have political principles which they wish to see guide the counsels of the nation, and those principles are the reverse of those held by tho present party in power, they can make their principles in, but never under the ead of Democracy. •n«-mrcraoy n-UKt rise on st,."pptng-*tones Of Its deutf eit tohlghe 'ltv.s

Special to.the ladlanapolli Journal.' WASHINGTON, D. Cm November 17, 18T8.—In conversation with your correspondent tills afternqou, President Grant said he confidently anticipated a peaceful settlement of the Cuban troubles, but thought best however, to be prepared to protect the American flag and citizens at all hazards, and if war became necessary, the United States would be fouud better prepared than the people supposed, having a large body cipliued men ready to be called into tho service, aud appurtenances to nafttch.

In regard to financial affairs, the President said, though he bad given thesubjeot much thought, be bannot fully dwsided what to recommend for the consideration of Congress, but he was in favor of some wellmatured plan for an elastic currency, convertible into bonds, aud Vice versa, as the necessity of the country demanded,

OBAWFORDSVILLE, IND Nov. 10 I am obl'ged for your favor of the 7th inst., aud beaten to make the ac kno,Mladgmeiit. TheCommercial, you may be sure, was very promptly read. I have no idea who the author of the critique

In 1863, while in Cincinnati, I heard a great deal of Fosdlck. Jones, the sculptor, took me to see a bust of him.yet in the clay* T^-JBuchanan Read always mentioned him in terms of warmest praise. But} singular as it may seem, I never heard of him as a writerof prose. He-was always one of the three poets between whom the people of your city seemed, at that peripd,. to divide their admiration. Readr Wile and. Foadick were the tunetul trio. -.

To this let mo- add-that-'jThe Fair God" .was* btgUM'ltt tlie'wlntel- of 1818,,as,Is well known Ja persons yet in Indianapolis. In 1800 (one year before "Malmistic" was published), ih first part, or book, containing thfc description- of the gold^li chftmber and, Alualox's world, and ebdingwifh the combat in honor ofjQjieizel, was' read to'several gentlemen in CovingtoUj'Tntilittia, wherelwas then residing. The latter point is important because it covers the only coincidence relied upoj by my critic— which dabnot bo settled by refer ence to Prescott's "Coriquest ol Mexico," to-' wbloli Mr. Fosdlck .was no doubt a close student, like myself—that is tho use ol underground- chambers. To make the confession complete, the authorities I relied upou in my work Were Prescott, Berual Diaz and Hahagun, the last to be' found in this country only in the Congressional Library. Taking for granted that all the critic says of "Malmistic" is true, I regret not having had it also, if only be cause it would have saved muoh research, and enabled m« to avoid the coincidences which have subjected me to suspiciop. I frankly acknowledge the help I derived from Dr. Bird's "Calavar, or theKnightsof theConquest," which, published by Carey, Lea fc Blanchard, (Philadelphia,) in 1835, has precedence of ev«ry American who bas written upon the subject of the invasion of Mexico by the Spaniards. Certainly I should make a like return to Mr. Fosdlck if I were able to do so. As it is, if the coincidences, discovered and so Ingeniously "put" by the writer in the Commercial, will have the effect to beget a demand for

he re-issue of "Malmistic," and so re vive the fading memory of the genius of its author, I shall be well satisfied the more so because I discern enough in the critigue in question to convince me that the book itself, when read by candid persons, will bo my very best vindication.

Do me the favor to send me a copy. If one cannot be bought, borrow for me, and believe me, very truly-your friend, LEW WALLACE. iO

An Interview With the Captain.

Washlngton Special to the Inter-Ocean Thomas H. Penme, late United States Cousul at Kiugston, Jamaica, has just arrived here, and brings definite information In regard to the arrival aud departure of the Virginias at Kingston iu charge of a Captain YVilliams, and soon after Captain Fry arrived from New York witn authority from the owners of llie ship,

and take the vessel and ccrgo lutoa Cuban port. About half of the crew deserted when the preparations began for loading and sailiug. All the transactions were perfectly open and a matter of common notoriety. Arms, ammunition, and war-like stores of various kinds were galhefed and shipped, and all intelligent'persons on the shi]) understood the true character of the vcsMt-l and her mission.

Mr. Pearne had two interviews with Capt. Fry in regard to his expedition, and protested against his undertaking it, and gave it as his opinion that if the Snauiards captured hiAi he would surely he shot that every man ou the ship took his life in his baud when lie .joined the expedition. To these protests Capt. Fry replied that the Spaniards could not sboot him, for It would only be a case of blockade running, and a9 he hid been a Confederate, llockade runner, he -.reasoned that as the United States did not shoot tho prisoners captured in this business, the Spaniards would not do it. Afterward Mr. Pearne sought Capt. Fry again, and attempted to dissuadr him from sailing. The Captain replied that to him the whole matter was a question of bread for his family. If he could succeed in landing his cargo where it was wauted it would give him a lirge sum of money, and he was determined to makt the attempt at all hazards. Then were about a .di^zen Americans oi En'glish among tlie siameu shipped, and it is doubtful whether all tliest had a very clear idea of the character of the enterprise.

some of the wooden tiuik-nxed in the lite war in the hands of unrivaled seamen. Congress, he said, was uot unliberai but he felt that they bad uever sufficiently appreciated the needs of the n»vv Tliosd need'' lie had repeatedly laid before them in his annual reports, but had uniformly failed to enlist their sympathetic consideration. Si eaklng more minutely of the two navies in question, he said that "onr preseut available force was all inelutied in the North Atlantic squadron,' nlich i* composed ofeight vessels all told, for forty auna and 2,001) men,whereas the dpauhh pquadrpn lu Cutuvn water* consists of iorty-fi**e vesst-ls of war and 13,000 men. Only three of our available vessels are Iron-clads, aud our whole naval service Can muster but G,500 sailors and 2,000 marines. Our people advise a parsimonious policy in peace, and then nbusi the Government for the ,insufficiency of the navy when there is prospect ot war." Notwithstanding these disparaging figures, however, he says that in case of a war with Spain "our Pacific tquadron would doubtless seize Manilla and greatly damage Spauish commerce in E4Stern waters in the Mediterranean a coalition could possibly lie formed \vith ftbeCarli6t: squadron," while Inthe case of Cuba he "should place great reliance upon our torpedo-boat system, in which our men are well trained, and tfould, doubtless, be very efficient." Speaking of the quality of American sailors, he said that if the word was given he "had no doubt our boys would undertake the capture of Havana, even if they had to tie 'torpedoes on the ends of logs and paddle themselves across the Florida Channel." The eight vessels composing the North Atlantic squadron, he said, included the Mahopac at Norfolk, the Manhattan at Philadelphia, and the Powbattan Snd Kansas at the Brooklyn navy yard. Tiie Juniata at the Brooklyn yard, Just returned from tne Arctic region, has not yet been assigned to any squadron. The Roanoke, also at the Brooklyn yard, he said, wafi'out df ttie question, beinii unlit for anything but harbor defense. "We have no similar vessel that could cope with the Spanish frigate Arapides, now iu dry uook here but the Admiral thinks our monitors could easily take care of her. He gave it as his opinion that a few Cubans with pluck and brains, could take a small tug-boat, with torpedoes, handled according to our ynfom, and shortly clear every port in Cuba.

Something Exhilarating. From the Dan bury News. There Is something exhil iratlng In in seeing a man hastening to the cars, especially if he thinks he haeu't one moment to spare, but, rather, several to gain, and has a carpet-bag in oue hand and a paper parcel in the other. We confess ourselves, that such a sight is uot exactly repulsive to us. He takes the middle of the street, as it is the most open thoroughfare, and has his overcoat apart and flapping,. under the impression that It iu some way accelerates his motion. While he thus eapsover the ground, with tne carpet bsg swinging around and rapping against his legs, what a magnificent -ipreclmen of physical activity, directed by intense mental application, ie presents. His eyes are set in hihead, his race is flushed by the play his muscle^, his mouth hangs carelessly open, and the cords in his neck stand out like whip-lash's. Faster and faster^ his legs ply against the nnsympathizing earth •vilder and wilder whiils the carpethag everybody stops to look at him little boys, too small, apparently, to ake an interest in anything, turn ut of tiie way to observe him, and conjure him to greater speed. He reaches the depot, dashes through without the ticket, and lands on the platform just .as the train is moving away, but encouraged by tiie cries and cheering shouts of the hangers-on who get in front of him, he makes the car, plunges Into the only unoccupied seat, which is next to the stove, and while the water trickles down his body, and flesh, lie has plenty of time to reflect on his narrow escape from missing the train, and to properly anathemise that last cup of coffee. a

Promises of Breechcs. ^Fromthe Ind. Journal. -fK The case-of Jennie Dunham W. Jacob Farqubar, now on trial in the United States Circuit Court in which the plaintiff sues for damages in the sum of $10,000 from the ancient but recreant Jacob for ruined affections, is quite interesting. The cause was ou trial before a jury Saturdey and yesterday and is not yet concluded- The lady gives every indication of being the possessor of a lacerated heart, and during the reading of some very affecting love letters in the afternoon, was so overcome with emotion that she fainted. The scene in the court room at tliis period was one of great excitement, and for a moment judges, lawyers, clerks and specta tors were speechless with, astonishment. Will David recovered his splf possession first, and seizJng a glass of water leaped twenty-seven feet, without spilliug a drop. Such an exhibition of agility served to arouse the fainting lady to consciousness, and the readiug of other thrilling love passages progressed withou? any disturbances other than au oc oa8lonal couvulslve sob from the prosecttor. The jury is a tender nearted jury, and was deeply affected by these tearful scenes. iaw

•Oor friend Hopkins had just had a double shine puf tipou his boots. Then he attempted^fo" cross Main street at Sixth. This Is how he did it. He waited upon the curbstone until the crossing was clear, collected himself tfmi-nMHto launch with hicigbttfbot, daintily planting his toes iiti the leaot nxiddy places. A sensutionof wetness, combined with coolness in the regiou of hie' five pointe, caused him to remember the holes iu ithe frontispieces of those- boots, forthwith he "canted up" upon his heels, pointed his toes skyward, and with a still-legged hobble,advanced to about the middle of the street. While glancing'himself like a jaybird on a moving twig, and looking for the next place to put a heel upon, to his horror be saw that a stout woman with a huge basket was making a charge toward him from the opposite side. Now he ue^rly lost his balance and sawed the air frantically with his arras to regain it now ho bent forward, and now buckward, with a snap like a jackknife. He might have been successiul, had not the market woman's butket collided v^ith his back, aud seot him ofF at a tangent into the deepest mud on Main street. What lie was going to remark to tiiat woman will never be kpown,. for at that instant a gust of wind took o(T bis hat and bowled it merrily along on top of the mud. This was too much for him. He forgot hid boots,his priie,and uave chase, for what wi'l uot a man do for his hat. Mud began to rise In tliHt- neighborhood then. He gained upon the haf, however—it stopped, and he shot over it. He tacked—lie took a new start—lie veered again— made a scoop at it, aud flually sat down upon its crowu in six inches of an good Indiana mud as can be found in Terre Haute. Tiie satisfaction of the capture was somewhat dimmed by the moisture of the situation, ami when Hsmt'li hoy holiered out, "Say, old. codger, you'll ketch cold under yer coat-tails if yer don't git up," then he arose, aud with a sidelong gait like a well spanked boy, he made a retre to a convenient store. Hopkins is making inquires for the Street Commissioner, and wants to know whither tlii- la a free democratic government wi live under, or is it ad—ti h-.-hdespotism, anyhow. '•5113U' '-J

CHICAGO, Nov. 18 —Ml« Neilson, ch( totress, narrowly escaped death Sunday afieriioou. Asshe was drlvng on Watiash avenue, accompanied iy her hnsbaud, fr. Pnilllp H. Lee, na close o«rriage, the rattle of a earn runulug away was heard »lo»e •eiiii.d tbem. Miss Neis.in bad are'y time to rise when the pole of a *aiMii and the head of a iinrse were hrtmt in the window at ber back, almost demolishing her conveyance, fortunately, by risinif, she placed her-elf beyond the reach of the pole, ind escaped with slight injury. Mr. Lee was struck on the head with the l»ole and seriously hurt. They were quickly released from the wreck. Miss Neilson was very much frightened.

At a meeting of the wardens and vestry of Christ's Church, Sunday evening, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That this vestry have learned with profound sensibility the noble stand fur Protestant and Evangelical truth recently taken by the Right Rev. G. D. Ctimrtiins, D. his withdra#*! from the exercise of the office of Assistant Bishop or the Diocese of Kentucky, rather thau sanction, by official relations, ritualistic worship and preaching of a false Gospel.

Kvsulved, That we recognize In this action of Bishop Cummins, llie result or a Ueep couviutiou, chared by our--'elve?, and by a large number of the Protestant laity of tne Episcopal Church, that the only adequate remedy for the'Romish tendencies now pervading that church is to be fouud in a thorough and scriptural revision of the book of Common Prayer.

Resolved, That we feel that our deepest gratitude i$ due to the great head of the church that he has le«i one of our Bishops to shrink from no sacrifice for the maintenance of the pure Gospel that while giving all glory to this following in the foot«teps of the great English reformers, to nlm who Inspired it, we pledge to Bishop Cummins our prayers and sympathy, and all our practicable co-operation in the effort to unite an English pulpit with a scriptural liturgy ana with a moderate Episcopacy.

Rev. Charles. E. Chenej*, rector of Christ's Church, also spoke warmly of Bishop Cummins' course, expressing a hope that he would come here and administer confirmation. Christ'H Church, it will be remembered, Is uot recoguiited as nil Episcopal Church, Mr, Cheney haviug been expelled from tlvs ministry.

NEW YORK, NOV. 19 Irrezulnrlties have been seen in the management of tiie Mercantile National Bauk that led to tho resignation of its President, Eli J. Blake, as well as occasioned considerable loss to the bank Useir. The bank is situated on tiie corner of Broadway and Dey street. It was incorporated twentythree years ago, and always hus been a dividend paying institution. Its capital was oue million dollars, and Blake owned over one hundred lousaud dollars of it. Blake was .•1-jo one of the prlueipai stockholders iu the Domestic Sewing Machine Company,. and during the present tlnanclai stringency, he has advance*] large sums of money belonging to the bank to tiie sewing machine rompany. The paper of the latter went to protest ou Monday, aud the case had to be detained at flie clearing house. It 1* said that tin? allalrs of the bank, by Blake's irregularities, have been involved to the extent ot $800,000, but the prompt seizure of the securities by the Directors of the bank, lead tlietn to believe that the institution may escape with the loss of not more than $330,000. Depositors will not suffer by these irregularities. Norman White has been elected President, vice Blake.
