MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1869.
Tbe Npnnlfth Throne.
A caulk telegram from Loudon announces that
It is now almost oertaln that the Daks da
Montpenaier will bo proclaimed King of Spain.
We stated sereral months ago that this was
the moat probable sequel of the revolution in
that oonntry, and subsequent events hive
tended to confirm this theory. Spain is
soaroelj prepared for republicanism, and the
lest government her people can reasonably
hope for is a wise and prudent constitution1
monaroby. If she must have a king, the
position, oharaoter and antecedents of
the Duke indicate that he would
make as good a monarch as shy
can select. If Isabella had a just right to
rule, aocording to monarchical ideas, which
she forfeited by misoouduot, and if this for
feiture applied to her children as well as her
self, then unquestionably the wife of the Dak
de Montpensier, as the sister of Isabella, is the
true claimant to the throne, and there is but
a slight violation of the rules of succession, in
this instance, involved in the transfer to the
husband of the rights of the wife. England
got over a somewhat similar difficulty after
the expulsion of James II, by legalizing the
joint reign of William and Mary, the latter a3
the daughter of the exiled King, being the
true heir, but the former possessing too
much oharaoter and power to willingly con
sent to play the part of a Prince Albert.
While good loyal Spaniards can therefore
accept the Duke de Montpensier without
qualms of conscience, the antagonists of Isa
bella can be consoled with the fact that he wilt
be bound, as her successor, to oppose her
favorites, and that he was one of the victims
of her tyranny, for in the summer of 1868 he
was expelled, together with his family, from
the dominions of Spain, by the deposed
Queen. At the time of this expul
sion he published, on behalf of his
wife and himself, a protest which at onoe dis
ol aimed connection with conppiraoies and with
the obnoxious policy pursued by Isabella. In
this document he said: "If unhappy Spain
is now passing through a difficult situation
which we deplore with all our hearts we are
not the generating cause." ABide from his
imposing family connections, and his reputed
Skill as a soldier and statesman, the Dake oie
Montpensier is reported to be a man of great
wealth, and he would scarcely be a true sdou
of the House of Orleans if he did not adroitly
employ the arts of corruption at a juncture
like that formed by the recent course of events
in Spain.
The people of the United States are more
deeply interested in the bearing of Mont
pensier's election upon the Cuban question
than its direct innuenoe upon the Spaniards.
If he oould be peacefully installed, without a
sign of resistance, the prospeots of the Cuban
patriots would be injured; but we must wait
for future developments to see how patiently
Spain will submit to the proposed exchange
of the descendant of Louis Philippe for the
abandoned daughter of the elder branch of
the Bourbon dynasty.
Oar Coal Field.
I the recent report of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office, we find important
information concerning the mining interests
and mineral resources of the Amarioan con
tinent. The faots here given concerning the
various ooal fields are of special interest to the
people of Pennsylvania. Those already deve
loped are six in number, with the following
locations and areas:
The Allegheny Field, contiguous to ths
Allegheny range, with an area of 59,976
square miles;
The Northern Field, lying entirely within
the limits of the lower peninsula of Michigan,
.and embracing 13,000 square miles;
The Central Field, in Indiana, Illinois, and
rtentucky, having an area of 00,000 squire
miles;
The Western Field, located in Missouri,
and oovering 45,000 square miles;
The New England Field, in which anthracite
ooal Is found to some extent, but not in re
munerative quantities;
The Aroadian Field, situated in British
America, and having an area of 2200 square
miles; and
The Paolfio Slope Field, containing about
6000 square miles, as yet very imperfeotly de
veloped. Of all these the most important is the Alle
gheny, with its aggregate area of 50,976
square mile?, and extending from Look Haven,
In this State, to Alabama. It has a length of
about 875 miles, and varies in width from 30
to 180 miles, being distributed among the
following States:
Pennsylvania. la.trtrt'KeritnnRy iuoo
Ohio. 12 (io, f iririeetj 3.7HO
Maryland SOU, Alabama i;m
Virginia and Went OcjrgU 170
Virginia 15 8001
The total prod notion of the entire Allegheny
ooal field in 1864 was 9,078,708 tons, Pennsyl
vania yielding more than one-half of the
whole, Ohio about one-ninth, and West Vir
ginia about one-fourteenth only, although it
is olalmed by the Commissioner that the latter
State embraces the riohest and, owing to its
numerous navigable streams, the most avall-
able portion of the entire field. '.
The Commissioner indulges in some com
paratlre figures, to show the almost lnoalou-
lable valno of our ooal formations. He esti
mates that the amount of ooal ued every
year in Ktjgland for the purpose of propelllnn
machinery generates a productive force equal
to the oomblned labor of 66,000,000 men;
while, if the entire prodnot of the English ooal
fields were turned into the same channel, it
would generate a foroe equal to the labor of
400,000,000 men ! The area of the American
ooal fields being thirty-three times as great as
that of Kogland, our readers oan easily take
away their breath by going through the pro
cess of multiplication, and contemplating the
result as the possible achievement of Ameri
can industry when our population approaches
in density the almost limitless extent of our
resources.
Fraudulent RitnntT Claim Important
Mew Legislation.
Thb Seoond Auditor of the Treasury reoently
sent to the chairman of the Senate Committee
on Pensions a report of a clerk who had
visited Memphis for the purpose of investi
gating alleged fraudulent practices of the
claim agents of that region, In preparing appli
cations for the pay and bounty of colored
troops. This document contains many start
ling disclosures, and recites a series of well
attested faots, which prove that perjury and
fraud have been systematically and freely re
sorted to to plunder the Government; and it re
quires no stretch of imagination to believe
that the men capable of these crimes are as
ready to rob the pretended representatives of
the soldiers as the nation. The author of the
report, who carried with him to Tennessee
one hundred applications for bounty in behalf
of widows, found that they were nearly all
fraudulent, and that the testimony by whloh
they were supported was extraoted either
from ignorant witnesses, who did not under
stand the full force of their pretended state
ments, or from hired perjurers, who have
sworn to an array of faots utterly beyond their
knowledge. A scheme is on foot to provide
by these rascally agenoies a widow's claim for
pension for every deceased colored soldier,
and the superserviceable perjurers have
already manufactured a host of wives and
minor children who exist only in their fertile
imaginations.
If there is any crime in the calendar which
deserves condign puuishment, it is the offense
exposed in this report, and no pains should
be spared to bring the villains who thus prac
tise upon the bounty of the Government to
jubtice. As similar frauds, especially in con
nection with the oolored troops of other portions
cf the South are of not un frequent occurrence
additional legislation seems to be neoessary as
well as the vigorous action of oourts, juries,
and jailors. In view of this necessity, Mr.
Wilson, of Massachusetts, introduced in the
Senate, on Friday last, a bill providing that
"the accounting officers of the Treasury and
Pay Department, charged with the settlement
and payment of soldiers' bounties, shall be
directed to pay, or cause to be paid, the sums
found due to the soldiers or their heirs in per
son, and not to any claim agent, or upon any
power of attorney whatever." We have not
yet seen a complete copy of this bill, but it
Eeems well calculated to deprive the unprinci
pled thieves who steal from the tax-payers
with one hand and from the soldiers or their
representatives with the other, of the princi
pal motive for a continuance of their nefarious
trade.
The whole subjeot is worthy of the oareful
attention of Congress. The generous provi
sion made by the Government fer the heroes
of the war, or thtir families, cannot be too
sacitdly guarded; and it is a matter of regret
and reproach that under all our pension laws
far too large a share of the treasure nominally
granted as the reward of patriotism has found
its way into the pockets of scheming agents.
Any new legislation that can grant additional
protection to the nation and its defenders
should be promptly ad opted.
An Educational Item. We have before us
the annual catalogues of three of the most
prominent educational institutions In the
country. That of the University of Michigan,
which still ranks the first in the United States
in point of numbers, shows 1114 students in
attendance during the ourrent year, of whom
422 are attaohed to the department of arts,
358 to that of medicine and surgery, and 342
to that of law. The list of professors and
other instructors numbers thirty-three. Al
though the new university founded by Ezra
Cornell's liberality is not yet fairly in
working order, the annual catalogue contains
the names of 388 students, 251 being in the
department of science, letters, and arts iu
general; and 159 iu that of special arts and
eoiences. The faculty is not yet complete,
twelve professorships being yet vacant, but
thirty-two positions in the faculty have already
been filled, twenty-six with resident professors
and six with non-resident professors and leo
turers. Among the resident professors occurs
the name ol Gold win Smith, the distinguished
English historian and statesman, who has ac
cepted the professorship of Eogllsh constitu
tional history. The College of Ndw Jersey,
which has, as yet, established no professional
school in its connection, numbers 230 stu
dents, and seventeen protessors and instruc
tors. Bbioandagik is Italy. A report on bri
gandage In tbe old Neapjinau Kingdom snows

France, It appears that iu the latter oountry, In
1K68, 8808 persona acoaced of crimes were sent
for Judgment, out of a population of more than
88.OCO.O00. The population of the Neapolitan
provinces was 6.785 000, and the criminals sent

Turn Tkamhit of Vknus im 1871 AND 1882,-At
. late meeting of the Il .yal Geoiiraphloal Bv
t iety In London. Biaff Commander Davie read
a paper on "Anurtio Expeditions and the
Transit of Venue." with tegard to the tran-lt
ol V. tius. Commander Davis said the great In
terest attached to li wag owing to the data H
aff.rUed for determining the eiaot dlutanoa
between the nun and the earth, with regard to
whloh there was an estimated error of l.OOt.OtO
mll. M. As this transit look place only onoe
or twlcj In a century, it was neoensary for
astronomical purpones lo make hay while tue
aun ehtneii. Wltnin n comparatively brief
apace of time there would be two transits of
Venus one lu 1871 and another In 1882. The
value to be attached to the latter transit was
the chief object of the paper. There were two
method, by which thin trauelt could be eOoctu
ally obsdved: First, by aUolule loimitudee
from four Ktatlous-one for acceleration by pa
rallax, fli.d or e for re'ai dallon for the lugress
and ihe same f.r the cgrrn; for as the planet
took about Fix Iiouih to crona tlio sun's dlno,
theiewere but few placx from whloh both the
ingrcfa and f uret-a could be obHerved, having
due consideration lor parallatio value. For
this method accurate determination of longi
tude were m tet. .ry-au erior of one second of
time would villain the result. The other
method whs by observing both Incren and
egreKB from two BtHtlona, one for Hncel(;ratlon
by parallax, the other for i t t rdt.lon: and the
great advantage of this method over the other
was that the nceuiate determination of longi
tude was not. bh absolute uteenHliy,
In the IraDHlt of VenuH in 1882, one auo'i
station was to be found in the North American
colon iec. and the other could only be obtained
in a high southern latitude. The mmtuioprranili
suggested that two vrsols with steam the hy
draulic propeller being suggested as the mode
of applying the steam power-should leave
Kngland about June, 1SSI, having on board the
equipment, in mm and instrument, for ob
serving the transit by the two methods mm
Was for three observatories. On the passage
out, two of these parties, with their Instru
ments, should ba landed on the sek-oied stations
for the first metbed, and at once commence
moon observations for the determination of the
longitude, wbliat the vessels proceeded to
Hobarton. from which place they would finally
start for tbe 8oulb iu the latter end of Decem
ber, and striking out In longitude about
165 degrees east, endeavor to make Balleny
Island, and, keeping well to the westward,
take tbe pack unit work through It to
wards Bouth Victoria, and then skirt the ooast
along as closely as possible; for, although in
the Erebus and Terror they did not Bee the ap
pearance of an haibor, it waa Just possible a
diflerent season might open one up. Proceed
ing south paht PobstfcKiou Island, in latitude
73, and failing to find a haibor or suitable
place of landing on that Island, to return at
once to Possession Itlnnd, and laud the party,
with huts, Instruments, and provisions for two
years, tbe ships returning north, and after re
fitting, separate and proceed to tbe two stations
at which parties had been landed on the past-age
out, uud after supplying the wants of the
observatories, and seeing all In a fair training
for observing tbe transit, leave and repair to
Hobarton to prepare for proceeding again
south, and starling about tbe same time as tbe
previous year, pick up the southern parly, and
on the return the other parties, and return to
England.
The author suggested the necessity of edu
cating the meu who were to lake part lu this
expedition by seeding lbcm, in the first la
stance, to tbe Arctlo regions, as he confessed
that when be went first to Ihe Antarctlo he
Bhiuld bave preferred to return back if he had
bad theoholce. In cjnolnslon, the author dwelt
on tbe necessity of England maintaining her
glory as a pioneer of dlfcovt ry,
German Literatixbb. The number ot
weekly, monthly, and quarterly Journals and
magbstnes In every department of science
literature, and art (exclusive of dallies), pub
lished in the German language in Germany
Switzerland, and the German part of Austria!
according to tbe published statistics of the last
half of 1807 and tbe first half of 1868, amount to
883. If we calculate an average edition oi
6000 oopies for eaob perlodloal, etc., we have an
annual circulation of 5.293,000 oopies of periodi
cal literature, orabout one copy for every eighth
German-speaking inhabitant. The number of
books, pamphlets, etc., lu every department of
kcit nee, art, and literature not the number of
copies printed of eaob work, but the number of
fco many separate and distinct woras published
uurlng tbe year 1807, amount to 855; and In
1808 the number will reach about 12,000. If we
calculate an average edition of 7000 copies for
eat h work, we have an average circulation in
1807-68 of from 68,985,000 to 84.000,000 oopies, or
about two copies for every German-speaking
inhabitant. It must be remembered, however
tbat about one-fourth of these publications are
exported to France, England, Holland, anu
the United Slates, so tbat the average number
of works for each luhabitant will be soma what
reduced.
Drunkenness has been reduoed to statistics
by a St. Louis physician, who makes the fol
lowing btalemenls In reference to the subjeot,
atter a great deal of laborious research:
".Taking the population of this country
at 40.000.COO, of 300 men 122 never
drluk spirits at all; 100 drink moderately
but nol to Intoxication; 50 are ephemera
drinkers; 25 drink periodically, called "spree
lug;" and 3 are habitual Inebriates. T)
eveiy 178 who drluk, 3 are confirmed ine
briates; 25 are perlodloal drinkers; 50 are
ephemeral drlukers. Oho confirmed inebriate
to every 6UJ. men. Of 700 women, 0JJ uevec
taste alcobollos of any kind; 30 taste wine oo)a.
slonully; 17 taste ardent spirit; 36 drlntr. ale or
beer constantly; 14 dilnk ardent spirits periodi
cally, and 3 are habitual Inebriates. Predomi
nance in confirmed inebriates among thesexes:
3 men lu every 178; 3 women in every 100; 1 con
tinued inebriate to every 83 1-3 of women.
Fewer women drink thau men, but a larger
propoi tlon of them beoome habitual drinkers
Debauch drlukers rarely become habitual, but
perlodloal drinkers; tbe latter rarely become
habitual drlukers, as Ihe vlolenoa of their
drinking Is too great, and leads to disgusting
satiety, and henca to intervals of sobriety."
