The New York Herald urges that
there must be some defence for the
publio against tho pica of insanity
now brought up regularly in favor of
every murderer for whom no other
defence can be found or invented. Is
sues of Insanity must not bo left to
an ordinary jury. Either the judge
must have power, when such a de
fence is made, to immediately rofer
the caso to a commission of experts
to determine that particular point,
or the trial must be had exclusively
on the issue of insanity, and that
pica, if made, must be referred to the
Governor in mitigation of tho penal
ty if the caso is against tho culprit
on the issue of fact. Without some
such change it will soon become im
possible in this city to oven try men
for murder, much loss to punish
them.
The United atatfs ami Npaln.
The New York Hun reports that
the statements made by t.bc New
York Herald respecting General
Grant's communication to tho Span
ish Government, are unfounded.
President Grant, according to the
Hun, has not demanded the indepen
dence of Cuba, and hnsnot intimated
that the United States may Interfere
to secure it.
The demunds which have really
been made upon tho Spanish Govern
ment and which Mr. Cushing is now
urging, are; First, that Spain shall
send a sufficient force to Cuba to jus
tify her in continuing to carry on the
present civil war; secondly, that
American citizens in Cuba and their
rights in person and property shall
no longer bo subjected to Spanish
military tribunals; thirdly, that
slavery shall actual ly be exti ngulshed
in the island; and Anally, that Cuba
shall huvo a representation in the
Cortes, tho same as other provinces
of the Spanish monarchy.
While it is true that much pressure
has been brought to bear upon Gen
eral Grant by niuny of his personal
friends who are large holders of
Cuban bonds, we nevertheless think
that the Sun’s estimate of tho propo
sitions that have been laid before tho
Mudrid Court will be found to be cor
rect.
Tho idea of the New York Herald
that the British Government would
view with dissatisfaction tho acquisi
tion of Cuba by tho United States is
a mere Agineut of tho imagination.
England would bo very glad to seo
Cuba united to this country, because
sum'll an arrangement would put an
end to slavery there as well as to
a civil war that is very Injurious to
British interests, and it would con
siderably enlargo the market for Brit
ish manufactures in the island. Eng
land has no reason whatever for jeal
ousy toward the extension of Ameri
can influence or authority in the
West Indies. The annexation of
Cuba would rather gratify than dis
please her.
“To Capture the Moiithrrn Vote.”
A Chicago dispatch stated the sub
stance of an interview with Secretary
Zacharlah Chandler, published in tho
Morning Courier, of that city. It
says Mr. Chandler ‘‘behoves war with
Spain probable, iu order to capture
the Southern vote.” Upon tins the
Hartford Times remarks: “It may
not be readily believed that Presi
dent Grant would precipitate a war
with Spain, in order to continue him
self in office for a third term. There
is no grievuuco that would warrant
such a rash measure, which might re
sult in complications and wars with
other powers. In such a ease, the
people of tho United States might
haruly hope to ever get free of debt,
or to get pay for the bonds they hold.
Taxation, now large enough,'would
become distressing. But there uro in
dications that the President would
like to complicate our relations with
Spain; tiiat he would gladly plunge
the two countries into a useless and
uuoalled-for war. The rumors from
Washington that he is to commence
the agitation of tho matter in his
forthcoming message may not be ful
ly borne out. We hope they may not
bo. But thero is certainly danger
from this very idea that a war with
Spain is considered at the White
House as a good thing for ‘eapturiug
the Southern vote.’ The President
cannot declare war, but ho can do
very much toward making a war.”
It is not Impossible that as a third
term card Grant may endeavor to in
volve the country in a war with
Spain under pretense of putting an
end to tho Cubau rebellion. But if
lie does so with the expectation of
capturing the Southern vote ho will
And himself ruefully mistaken. Tho
people of the South want no unnec
essary war with any foreign power
certainly not with.Spain for the an
nexation of another negro-carpet-bag
State to the Union. In a war with
Spain our Southern coast cities would
bo exposed to tho attacks oi the
Spanish meu-of-war. our commerce
would be interrupted, our labor di
verted from the production of crops,
uud we would have the satisfaction
of paying our share of the cost or
making a negro carpet-bag State out
of Cuba and bringing that once rich
and prosperous island to the forlorn
condition of Soutli Carolina and
Louisiana. Such a programme is
not calculated to captivate the Sou th
em people, or secure the vote of the
South for Grant fora third term.—

Kouthern Christian Advocate.
As our readers are aware, our paper
Is not, in any sense, sectarian, nor
does it even profess to be a religiou|
paper—being simply a news papt'r.
As such, while it is not the organ of
any church, we always give place to
any matter not sectarian which mem
bers of any of the churches may wish
published. Hence it is that we give
place to the following communica
tion, which is published by request
of a highly respected citizen.
Tor the Hon then Wetclimau,
Mr. Editor:— The subjoined com
munication wae written by request.
Of course, the details of the project
must be determined by the wise, pru
dent, experienced ministers and lay
men of the Conferences, and of such
u body the present managers and con
ductors of the Southern Christian
Advoeato should be prominent mem
bers.
‘‘The Advocate must have more sub
scribers.” —H. C. Advocate.
Tho above announcement suggests
one of two facts either that tho pub
lishers are losing or making very lit
tle by the paper, or that it is not do
ing the good which might reasonably
be looked for, if a greater number
wero taken and read by the people.
Of the lirst of theso two proposi
tions I know nothing, nor is It mate
rial to the matter I propose to con
sider ; for the paper was not estab
lished for the benefit of any one man
or company, but for the good of the
Methodist church and of the commu
nity.
Of tho trutli of the second fact I
have no doubt. The present sub
scription to the Advocate ought to be
doubled, yes, trebled, and I huvo a
plan to propose for the thoughtful
consideration of the wise men of our
Conferences, which, it is believed,
will effect this very desireable object,
and at the same time do a vast
amount of good in another direction.
It is proper to say that tills idea did
not originate with tho writer, but
was suggested (during aconvcrsation
on the subject of the support of aged
and wornout and disabled preachers
and their families by the ablest and
most far-seeing financier in the State.
From all we hear, this year will be
as remarkable for the deficiency in the
umount contributed for ministerial
support, as it has been for tho great
number added to tho membership of
the church. The truth or error of
this however, will appear at the Con
ference. Of one thing the writer is
assured, that the church of which he
is a member will surely full consider
ably shorter of paying our preacher
t he amount promised him, unless the
Stewards borrow the money; and if
we do fail, it will be the ilrst iu titty
years. I mention this us an indica
tion that tho collections for wornout
and disabled preachers and their fam
ilies will be lamentably small, and
much suffering and destitution ap
prehended. This is a mutter which
touches the heart of every Methodist.
It is a universally acknowledged debt,
which has never been fully met. To
do this is the objeet of the plan pro
posed by my friend, above alluded to,
and it is this: It is believed that the
8. C. Advocate can be printed as well
as is now done, and onus good paper,
for at most unc-htdf tho present sub
scription price. Homo practical men
think it can bo done for $1 a copy for
a year. Now. if this can be done, and
tlie subscription remain as uow.it re
quires very little knowledge of arith
metic to see that a very handsome
sum of money, even witli tho present
subscription list, would bo realized,
to be devoted to the support of the
worn out preachers and widows with
helpless families. But very impor
tant results, in addition, would be
reached, by publishing the object of
the plan to tho world, tiiat, every dol
lar over the expenses of printing and
publishing tho paper shall be appro
priated to this and cognate objects,
that thereby a fund would bo realized
which would do away with tho neces
sity of the yearly Conference col
lections. Every preacher, traveling
and local, every warm-hearted Met h
odist, would become an active agent
for the paper, and tho number of sub
scribers would soon reach twenty, or
perhaps thirty thousand. Now, if
there Is nothing erroneous or extrav
agant in this proposed plan, it is very
obvious that great good would grow
out of its adoption. An annual fund
of ton thousand dollars, or more,
could be raised for the noblest of all
causes, aud every contributor would
be more t ban remunerated for every
dollar paid for a good paper, in addi
tion to the incalculable good which,
by tho blessing of God, would flow
from the largely increased circulation
among the people of a religious fam
ily newspaper.
Now, Mr. Editor, let me say that in
the conversation above mentioned,
(which was among warm friends of
Methodism;, a decided and emphatic
approval of the paper, us now con
ducted, wus expressed by all. We
should ho exceedingly sorry, if by
any change in the plan of publishing,
thoro should bo any change in tho
oditors and managers of tho Advo
cate. Of course, we would rejoice, as
you would, to see the paper growing
in the oxoolleneo and interest of its
contributions, and we believe this
would be one of the results of the
plan, for a much greater number of
people would feel solicitous for the
prosperity and high standing of their
paper.
IM Sll.lt 1 OPINION.
We should be reluctant to think
tiiat President Grant could resort to
foreign complications aud incur the
risk of a foreign war as a means
of influencing our domestic polities
on tho eve of a Presidential election.
This is one of the devices by which
Napoleon 111. maintained his power
in France, but the linal result was a
warning, not au example.—New York-
Herald.
"Well, we can’t tell what may hap
pen.’—The President of the United
States.
The above are the words of the
President iu response to an inquiry
as to what lie thought of a third
term.
The End Will Come.— Since the
election tho Wall street bunkers have
concluded to charge a higher rate of
interest on all loans to borrowers.
They call this "a healthy movement
iu the money market.” Healthy for
themselves, but not for their credit
ors. Tilings ure ripening on for lS7ti.
Travel on, gentlemen. The end will
oorneby and by,—Buoyrus Forum.
Senator Bayard says: "How wise
aud eloqueut are the words of Web
ster: ‘Of all contrivances for cheat
ing the laboring classes of mankind,
none has been more effectual than
that which deludes them with paper
money.’ This is the most effectual
of inventions to fertilize the rich
man’s held with tiie sweat of the
poor man’s brow. Ordinary tyranny,
oppression, excessive taxation these
bear lightly on the most of the com
munity compared with the robberies
committed by a depreciated paper
money.”
The paper money of which Web
ster spoke was the paper money now
favored by Bayard, viz.: State and
local banks, whose notes are redeem
able in gold. Who lias been cheated
by a greenback? Who that has a
genuine one failed to pass it at its
face? The money we had before the
war, to which Bayard desires to re
turn, was nearly worthless. We are
to exchange the faith and power
of the Uuited States Government for
the lying promise of a bank. Of
course we are to talk about legal-ten
ders being “inconvertible,’’although
they will pay all debts, and they buy
everything which pleases any of the
senses.—Cincinnatti Enquirer.
Wrath of Vlrr-f*m.litcnt Wlhon.
From telegrams received wo uro
apprised of tho death of Vice-Presi
dent Wilson. His death was not alto
gether unexpected, ns he had been
sick for some time.
Mr. Wilson hud just made up his
mind to change his views and ideas
concerning a future policy toward the
South. A few months ago ho made a
trip through some of the Southern
States, and formed his conclusions
concerning our unjust treatment %y
tiie Republican party. His repeated
avowals since his return home were
encouraging to us. From his ex
pressed convictions we had a right to
expect substantial friendship from
him in the future.
He had aspirations for the Presi
dential chair, but now he is as hum
ble as the poorest dependent that
lives in his native State, Massachu
setts.
lilt. TON IU LOW ON WttM’.K AMI
LINT/.
MUSICAL CHITtCIHM.
Tiie opinions of one of the greatest
living musicians are worth reading,
in so far ns they eriteise musicians
who are dead, at least. A reporter of
the New York World recently elicited
the following criticism :
I am a great admirer of Meyerbeer.
The greatest impression I ever felt in
my life was when I ilrst heard Meyer
beer’s Huguenots. Apropos of Gou
nod, he fluid tiiat the best opera of
that composer was “Le Medeciu Mal
gre Lui,”and, judging him from that
work, he might be called the musical
Moliere.
Speaking of Wagner, Dr. Von Bil
low said that ho had been extremely
unjust to Meyerbeer, and added:
"But we, his pulpils or disciples, are
not forced to fall into tiie same error.
It is my opinion that great composers,
in their self-estimation, must be neg
ative in their admiration of others.
In answer touquestion as to wheth
er the. Wagner school is making much
headway in Germany, l)r. Von Be
low said that Wagner lias many imi
tators, but none worthy of being
classed with him. His imitators, so
far, have shown no special talent, at
least in the line of composition for
the stage, and they have, therefore,
hud very little success. But the in
fluence of Wagner is making itself
widely felt in tiie performance of clas
sical works. The Doctor then began
to tell of Wagner’s great genius and :
influence.
Tiie doctor explained the difference
between the old and new school of
music by quoting an anecdote of a
minister of state under Louis Phil
ippe, who had just gone into office
and was asked iu what respect Ins
administration would differ from the
preceding one. "Mon eher,” lie re
plied, "nous ferons exactement in
meme musique, sentement noustaeh
orons do la fairo mieux.” “And this,”
said Herr Von Bulow, ‘‘is tho ease
with us. In Wagner’s heart the rich
est melody in existence is in Beetho
ven. When Wagner conducts an or
chestra he does not correct the indi
cations of Beethoven ; he only com
pletes them.” Wagner is of opinion
that Beethoven’s music lias still to
be made popular and intelligible by
the real interpretation, but in inter
preting it is necessary to read be
tween the lines and discover the com
plicated polyphony and make it clear
to the ear of the listener. Dr. Von
Bulow then explained that polypho
ny the giving of three or four melo
dies at once—is the special feature of
tho now classical school, and tiiat one
of the difficulties it has to encounter
is tho training of the human ear to
the perception of two or t hree melo
dies at the same time. This is now
more easy than it was in Beethoven’s
time, for then the instruments were
not as perfect as now, and in render
ing Beethoven’s music in our time
wo can give notes that the instru
ments in his time did not have.
Dr. Von Bulow spoke admiringly
of Beethoven and called him "tho
Columbus of tho new school in mu
sic.” Wagner, ho thought, was to
some extent a follower of Gluck in
dramatic truth and in perfect accord
ance of sentiment and tune. Gluck,
however, ho said, was a poor musi
cian, of whom Handel had spitefully
remarked, “My cook understands
more of counterpoint tluußHuek.”
Herr Von Bulow spoke of Liszt: “I
cannot give to Liszt, ’ ho said, "the
same place I give to Wagner as a
composer for orchestra. His princi
pal merits are in composing for the
piano, and in this line he has hail
pupils like Raff, who is well known
iu this country. Liszt’s instrumenta
tion is splendid. He is more harmo
nious than Berlioz and less extrava
gant. In the Dante symphony, it is
true there is a great noise, but this
is no reproach, besides it is a solitary
exception. But Liszt cannot attain
the same plane as other great mas
ters, because his music is based on
homophony, ami not on polyphony,
which is the special character of the
German music. Besides, Liszt's life
is against being a great composer; he
is too much in the world. Great
composers cannot be soeeiety men or
men of the world. Look at Bach;
he was like a hermit, and Beetho
ven's deafness, which was a great
curse, was still in some respects’a
blessing. Hearing too many voices
outside you, you ean not heed the
voice of God within you.”
Tho Italian school, Dr. Vou Bu
low thinks, is in decadence. It lias
been corrupted by Paris, as tho
French school was corrupted by con
tact with others. “ Internationalile ,”
said he, meaning the mingling to
gether of different styles, "is the cor
ruption of all art—at least iu music.
Douizetti’s ‘Don Pasquale’ is real
Italian opera, but Donizetti was less
happy in 'La Figlia del Reggimento'
when lie became vulgar and a precur
sor of Offenbach.” Continuing, the
Doctor said he should greet an Ital
ian composer who had studied the
good Italian schools, but he saw no
promise of such a one. The Italians
are making a feeble effort to imitate
Wagner, but in fact they mock him
because they do not understand him.
They avail themselves of the effects
of German music, but they do not
know how to use them. When they
played ‘Lohengrin'and‘Tunnhauser’
they failed. “Once Italy was tiie
cradle of art," continued the doctor,
“and therefore, as an Italian journal
recently said, it is no wonder all their
musicians are asleep.” Of the new
opera, "Die Folkungen,” recently
brought out in Leipsic and criticised
in a late number of the World, the
doctor said it was a weak imitation
of Wagner, and probably reached
the dignity of “respectable rubbish.”
