In order to proclaim and defend it, let us thake oil our degradation. "To arms for liberty !" Causes of tbe Discontent. The London Herald of the 24th ult. speaks editorially as follows: In rpain we see what wa9 once a gTeat nation in its decline, and the blot, lor thare are many, In the Institutions of 8paiJ, are matter rather lor pity than for condemnation. As there are many In Spain who are discontented with every Government under the present system, we find always about halt ot the Spanish people ready to welcome with open arms every prospect of change. It is tbe misfortune of (ionzalez Bravo to have arrajed against himself eveu a larger number of euemicf. As First Minister of State be is as obnoxious as any who have preceded birr. As a pronounced Reactionist he has earned the enmity of the whole Progressists or .Liberal Party. As a civilian, he U obnoxious to the military ctiiels. As a friend to . tbe bigoted Catholics of the Court camarilla, be has placed himself in opposition to . eo iect ned men of all shades of political opiniou. The extreme measures which he has taken with the hope ot maimalniug himself in power have still further strengthened the uni versal discontent with his rule. His predecessor drove Into exi'e the President of the Senate and large number of membtrs of the Cortes. Gonzalez Bravo imitated him in deporting to the Canaiies half the generals ot the armv, and even banishing the seem.ngiy inoffensive Due de Montpensicr and bis wife, the sister of tne Queen. The general discontent with all govern ment which ia felt in Spam has been thus fur ther agprava'ed by the peculiar unpopularity of this unlucky man, on whom the mantle of Narvaez had i"k1Ipt, without the prestige, tae power, tbe ability of this unscrupulous soldier to enable hm to wear it. To this disgust of alt government, to this Isolated and forsaken position of the present Prime Minister in ISpain, we fear we must add that there has beeu another cause long at work, not only in lavor of any attempt at revolution, but almost ttifCcient to olace in peril tbe throne of Isabella II. We do not wish to inquire too deeply into the delicate question of the reasons whv so many Spaniards are discontented with tlit ir sovereign, and have come to view her no longer tbrouub that halo of romantic loyalty which Invested the brave girl tor whom, in old tirut-s of Car lit t wars, they wlli'tDgly shed their blood. Some part of this revulsion ot feeling bas been caused by the disappointment of all the hopes ot freedom and constitutional govern ment which were held out when the daughter of Feroiuand VII ascended the throne, and to tbe looe military misrule which bas ufflicted Bpain. Something more, perhaps, may be at tributed to tbe outcry which bas been excited by the proceedings of the Jesuit cabal which Is ar-powertui at Court, and which is reported to have obtained such a bold over the mind of tbe Queen, Tbe Queen is not now so popular in fcpain as she was: but she is still the Queen, and the noble old sentiment of loyalty to the sove reign is uot easily eradicated from the heart of a true Spaniard. Probable Course of tbe French Emperor. I'rom the London Daily Hews of Sept. 22. Of course in any crisis which now occurs in Europe tbe first question that is asked Is, What will France do ? The desire to meddle in Spain is hereditary on the northern side of tbe Pyre nets; and in the present position of European affairs another intervention in the Peninsula miyht be a diver. ion greatly to the Emperor's table and profit. Unhappily it la only too likely that the condition of Spain may soon become such as to give excuse lor meddling, if not for actual intervention. lufamous as it ha been, the government ot Queen Isabella has kept a certain feemblance of order, anl the revolution ary government is likely, however grently it may improve on hers, tj have muel ot the appear ance of anarchy. Such evils as those which alll-.ct the l'ciiln.-ula are not to be cured in a day. If no interference be attempted from without, the Spanish people may puss through a severe revolutionary crisis to a bi tter future; nut the crisis is likely to be a long and violent one. Interference may postpone it, but in postponing it would prolong It; and tbe Emperor mlijht even find that in attempting to stamp out a revolutionary fl-.e be communicited It to inflam mable substances nearer home. It Is much to be desired that, lor ouco, a dynastic revolution in Spain should be left to its natural course, what ever that course may be. Qaeen Isabella has brought her calamities upon herself, aud Europe Will have no pity tor her In her discrowned exile; but the SpanUh people have yet to go through tbe strife and agony by which other European nations have entered Into the posses sioa of their liberty. Free governments are for fret men; and fcpain has much to emancipate herself from before she will enjoy a government which shall reconcile order with freedom. Programme of the Revolutionist. Tbe Qau'ois say.: 'Ve are able to announce thuf tbe programme of the insurgent comprises 1hree capital objects! First, the overthrow of i tbe Bourbon dynasty; secondly, a provisional government; and thirdly, the convocation of a constituent assembly, wbich will decide with sovereign authority on the future destinies of Spain. Such is tbe purpose of the coalesced Proprctsistas ac-4 Unionists. Ou theo'.her band, tbe Carllrts, who for a long time past have given no sign of life, are preparing to enter ou the campaign utidVr the orders of General Cabrera, to the cry of "'Long live Charles VII l" GENERAL NEWS. Enftllsb Reception of the Chinese Em bcMy. Oenml Fesr of Coming War. A Fnrakfort correspondent says: War rn mors -are again prevailing, thongh no tangible reason can be given tor them. Tbe first alarm has originated in two speeches, and, strange enough, the one from its reticence, the other from Its plain talking, have created uneasiness. In fact, neither Mapoleon nor tbe King of Prussia bas said anything very extraordinary. The first by stating that nobody would believe him, tbe second by hinting that if the French must have war, his army could fight it out. Tbe sole and Teal danger of the position lies In tbe lamentable ignorance of the French with regard to foreign affairs. As It is now a mitier of certainty that there will be no real peace as long as a Bonaparte is on tbe throne of France, and as commerce and trade are crippled thereby id all civilized countries, it Is astonishing that other powers do not spenk their mind ; that they too are interested In the at) airs or this world, and cannot forever remain at tbe mercy of French caprices. I be Duty of France Towards Prnssln. Tbe Pans Debata, in an exhaustive article on tie policy and duty of France towards Prussia, says: Our natural allies are not to be found In Ger many. Instead of interfering with the tuternsl organization ot Germany we would do better to imitate Prussia, and draw closer our military and commercial ties with the countries which gravitate naturally towards our orbit. France Is forcibly called npou to 'exercise over these countries the same kind of influence that Prussia exercises over the States which form the Confedera ion, and Germany would have no light to complain If we followed the example ehe herself has set. Admiral Farrag-tit's Eastern Visit. The Osrervaiore T.xetlmo of Sept. 20 says: Admiral Farragut. accompanied by several of his officers, has landed in order to pay visits to our principal authorities of Trieste, Afterwards, Marerhal Baron de TVetzlar, tbe President of the Central Naval Administration, the Com mandant of tbe port, and the Consuls of Eng land and of tbe Argentine Republic, went on board the Franklin and were received with great distinction. Tbe Austrian national air was played on tbe arrival ot the Imperial official'). Tne general public are courteously received oa board. Oarlbaldl's Latest. Garibaldi bas addressed the following letter to the Mutual Aid Society, at Turin, under date of Caprera, September 14: "You have done well to constitute an association of the brave men who have made the campaigns of the country. Tbe duty of all Italians Is to wash ont the shame which bas fallen on our native Itnd nnder late circumstances. But more especially does that obligation fall on those who, with arms In their bands, sustain the nation in main taining its rights. BUTLER AND ATKINSON. A Spicy Controversy Between tbe Statis tician and Ueneral. Boston. Oct. 1. To the editor of she Evening jraveiter:i una in your paper ot tuts date a letter from Ber.lamin F. Bu'ler. in which be gives a copy of a private telegraphic message wmcn was received Dy me a lew aays since from Mr. Samuel Ward, ot Washington. 1 have met Mr. Ward In Washington two or ttiree times, ana once at a dinner party in New York, but never bad any communication from him, by letter or telegraph, before or since this one. His message was as follows Wahhinoion, D. C, September 26. TTon. H! Atkin son. Buaiou: Am credibly tnlormed Dana decllued nomination In ruth Dlttrict because he cannot spare time Irum bis urolessloo.

SAMUEL WARD. I replied to this messaee by a letter, of which I kept no copy, but to this effect: "Mr. Dtna bas uot declined a nomination in the Fifth Dis trict for anv reason such as you allege." General Butler has become posesied of n copy ot tbe n essacre from Mr. Ward, aad thereupon makes tbe following charge agaiust myseti: "earn Ward t aiuraiiy does not like General Baler so that he l)s conspired with Atainion co mtnaje the politics ot lb Firm District ai d to provide tu people with a candidate tor Conicress." 1 Lave FOine questions to put to General Bat ler. So copy of toat telegraphic message ha3 gone out from my office: the orieinal had been feen only by rnvself and by the clerk who nlod It with my private papers, until his letter ap peared. I, therefore, ask General Butler: First. Ilow did you get jour opy of that message ? Hecond. Did you bribe a clerk In the office of tbe telegraph company f Third Do you conspire with Mr. Sauuel Ward to send that message to me and to furnish jou with a copy f Fouitb What exense have yon to give for priu ting a private message wbicb, unless you received it from tbe gentleman with wbora you allege that I have conspired, you knew could only be in jour possession through a breach of trust ! Except yon received it from Mr. WarJ, yon stand in the position of a "Iteielver of stolon goods 1" If you received it from Mr. Ward, you are his confident and fellow conspirator, not I. 1 beg Mr. Ward's pardon for these imputations against him ; from what I know of him I do not belteve he would conspire with you or trust you in any bargain. You have made the charge of conspiracy again t him. I have vtry slight acquaintance with him. General liutier It is for you to give or refu.-e answers to these questions. In my argument upon your financial views I believe I treated you as a gentleman. Have I made a mistake In to doing. In tbe first part of yonr letter you make another charge against me, and in your state ment of tbeoase you conceal an Important fact. I have said that 1, as an officer of the corpora tion, pa d a note to a savings bank in green backs which were at tbe time wonh only sixty eight cents on a dollar, and which ereeubacks I had leaeon to believe the bank invested in five twenty bonds. You now allege that I paid that note as an individual, and so defra'ided tbe batik. You conceal the fact that, as an officer of a corporation, I was compelled to pay its notes in lawful money, but you admit that unless that bank receives its payment in gold for the Five twenty bonds it will be deiraude 1, and you are tbe man who proposes the measures that yoa admit will defraud that bank aud others. Ihe Government has protected that bank and a'l other holders of its live-twenty bonds b7 promising them payment in coined dollars, and in the meantime paying its interest In gold, and you propose to repudiate that promise. Ho lraud will occur and no one will be inlared if public faith be kept. I hope that the holiest and honorable record of the Fiftb District will no longer be tarnished by a representative who can only promote his owi; re-election by the dishonorable use of a private telegraphic message, of which he can only nr become possessed through bribery or a breach o.' trust, or by collusion with the per son who teal the message to me.
