Position nnd Prowpect of tin- Itcvolutlon-The
People Disquieted -The Now tkuinliluliou Had
ltelittioiiA Toleration.
A correspondent long familiar with ftpaiu
writes ns follows from Madrid, March Ii7:
"There in a decided majority in the committed
to diaft a coiit-liiuliou which lnsi-t-s on a com
plete separation of Church und State, unlimited
lrtcdf in of religion wort-hip. and no sect lo ho
maintained at the expense of the Government.
Clo.aga has come to reinforce ilio minority, and
Las been upon tins point of carrying his pU:i? by
which the Koman C'uIImiIIc religion is recognized
as the religion of I lie Kate, und maintained at
U.o expense of tiro Government, while only a
i;t.atl toleration is to be extended toother faiths,
i'o long us they use no external signs or manifes
tation roj ugunnt to Catholics). such a tolera
tion would foon ho no toleration at all in prac
t,so. The Ciibinet has declared for it. Tho
1 It-hops lire udmitted to the committee room. It
Las been on the point of appearing triumphant
as tho committee' article on that mutter. All
Vteck the strugglu has been going ou. There
have-been sessions of tho eomnuitce all night till
5 o'clock in the morning. Tho report ou tho
Constitution has licen announced over and over
again uh bciii); uhout to bo presented to the
Chamber. Ibey are not agreed yet. But the
reaction tin been gaining ground in the eommit
tec. Will it in the Assembly?
"The people are getting v,,ry uneasy. The
question of the conscription of soldiers for the
army has moved them all over Spain. . Ttiey
begin to si e that every one of the promises made
to them ut the outlet of the revolution, are bulng
broken by tho men now In power, and who have
manipulated the election of the majority of tho
Deputies. The Republican minority works hard
works manfully, nnd the honors of every da
bate are theirs. Thcv caln something by their
outspoken boldness and loyalty to the revolution.
They make many of the members of the ma
jority f-hake. They shake minister,
and are gradually wearing them
away destroying their prestige getting
the j upper hand morally. Hut public
opinion is not an organized entity. It has no
machinery by which to make itself felt and
oteyed. I think the course of tilings Is not al
together bad. I think this gloriouj campaign of
the Republican minority in this Assembly is not
lost upon the country. In one way or another
Its effects will appear, notwithstanding the
ricseut appearance of the votes in the Assembly.-
I do not exactly say that this minority will
iventually defeat ministers, convert half tho
majority, and make itself supremo in the As
sembly, though Unit result would not
nt all surprise mc, and I should consider it
logical and In order. But I do say
that already, notwithstanding the immense
numerical majority, there is no monarchy. Don
Fernando of Portugal is the coming man, but his
coming is already impossible. There is no
throne in Spain, Perhaps not more than sixty men
in that Assembly of three hundred and twenty
arc fully aware of the fact. But it is a fact
nevertheless, and a controlling one. Tho thing
w ill come to an armed struggle perhaps; Indeed
it may be looked upon as almost inevitable. But
lo nun, not an angel In heaven, could be seated
on a throne as King in Spain to-day. Meantime,
w hile things go halting and fretting along, a
preat lesson is being learned. Every month
which passes thns opens the eyes of a multitude
of robust Spaniards to tho fact that tho sun
will rise and set, and that women iu the
1 rovlnccs and In remote villages can give birth
to child without there being a king on a throne
at Madrid. That practical teaching is worth more
and is doing more for the Spaniards thau all the
I hiloeophical theories and all tho wlso constitu
tions which were ever written. Bat the clerical
I arty are waking up to u comprehension of that
lact the Monarchists are getting desperate.
Kobody attacks them. Everything is trauouil,
and the nation full of hope. Well, tranquillity
must be troubled, and hope dashed, or they are
lost.
"The Republicans have made a groat eff ort to
reduce the force of the army by denying tho
conscription of the 25,000 men asked for by
Trim. But the conduct of Prim and his fol
lowers, I am afraid, will turn out to have bjsu
suicidal. I believe the army oineens by a great
rtajorlty to-day are retrograde farther lu-jk
than Prim and on the first occasion would throw
Lim overboard In favor of a restoration in the
name of the Prince of Asturias, or, perhaps, Don
Carlos. Why cannot these men see that their own
preservation .commands them to throw t hem
ic Ives fairly and squarely upon the people to
reek popular support and rely upon it, and le ,
tl.eainiygo the wall? But Prim was bred a
toldier, and bred iu a country where it ha
always been recognized that a soldier was born
to command, and a civilian was born to obey.
"The partisans of Don Carlos are sanguine
and are getting ready to put in the field an army
of 15,000 men in tho northern provinces to de
lend the rights of tho legitimate branch, and th
priests, and the holy hold of Koine over her
hitherto most ignorant aud submissive vassals."

I The N. Y. Herald' '$ correspondent gives the
V details of the following affair, which will bo rjad
with interest:-
Senator Ross, of Kansas, one of the gallant
seven who voted against Impeachment, beard id
the Presidential lion in his den this (yosterd.iv)
morning. Tho report is that Row went to th3
White House to look alter cerium appointments
tor his far-off State. Ho had heard that the
President intended to make certain nominations
Incompatible with the slate he (Itoss) had made
out for himself. Ross, like other Senators, Is
human, and has a soul not above yearning for
the loaves aud fishes. Ills soul felt sad at what
he had learued concerning tho designs of Presi
dent Grant, and, to give his soul comfort, he
wended his way to the White House. He was
admitted at the same time as old Zacb Chandler,
but bad the first chance to speak his little piece
to the President. ...
I come, Mr. President, to talk with yon about
the appointments for my Slate, having heard
that you intend to make certain nominations
that may not harmoniee with my desires, if you
deem it worth while to consult them In the
To" which Grant laconically and Interroga
tively responded, "Well, sir '("
This Presidential response was not In the trne
manner to be relished by the Kansas 8uator.
"Am 1 to understand that I arn rightly Informed
s to your stated Intentions to disregard my
i .reference iu the matter of Hpoiutniouts, Mr.
President '(" Inquired the Senator. .
"That is a question hardly susceptible of an
answer, sir. To what appointments do you
allude? Inform me, and then I can reply," re
joined Grant.
Senator Ross liked the second answer as little
as the first, but having come for enlightenment
he was determined not to go away in a fo. The
S enator, therefore, with suppressed rage, ex
plained the appointments to which ho had
"Frankli lr," said Grant, "I intend not to
"What, sir! You scorn to uccointnoihite me
in the least?" exclaimed Kos, boiling over with
f'bir, I bdiovo 1 have given you my answer,"
'irmly but sternly replied Grant.
J '"1 his Is not treating we fairly, Mr. President,
nor as one gcntlemau should, another, uttered

"Nor have I to Ixi lnultcd, even by you, ir,

Ros, with his iro stirred np to white lul.
"I must decline to bo annoyed any further on
the subject," muttered Grant, Ujlween Ills teeth,
''and dehire tho interview should terminate.''
"You aud your desires may go to '" roared
out Ross.
"Leave the room, sir! Irave tho room, or I
shall force you out'" thundered Grant.
Rof-s took his departure accordingly, In a ter
rible rage, quitting lh White House like, one
rnshing from a plague, and hnrrled to tho Capi
tol. President Grant threw himself Into a chair
the moment the door closed and wlHd his brow
With his pocket handkerchief, evidently much
sgituted. Old Za li Cliun.lliT approached and
viis thus addressed by the President:- -
"Kxeuse, me for a few inonvnts, Senator.
After that Interview I mie-t Uke a little time to
cool off." Such Is tho a'H-ount which I have

CURTIIf.
Our New nilninter to ltuia.
Andrew Gregg Curtin, appointed Minister to
Russia by President Grant, was born at the vil
lage of liellefonte, Pa., April 2, 1817. His father
was an iron manufacturer of largo means in
Centre comity, and his mother a daughter of
Andrew Gregg, a well-known Pennsylvania poli
tician. Mr. Curtin wan educated at an academy
at Milton, a small village on the Susquehanna
river, and read law iu the office of Judge Reed,
at Carlisle. He wan admitted to the Bar in
lfc'30, and at ouce entered upon the. practice of
his profession at Bellefoute. From this time
forward he took an active Interest In politico,
supporting all the candidates of the Whig party
for the Presidency from Harrison to Scott. In
1844 he stumped tho State In behalf of Henry
Clay. In 1848 nnd 18.VJ ho was placed on the
Presidential electoral ticket, aud In both these
years traversed the State lu liehalf of the candi
dates of the Whig party. In IbJit ho wiw Chair
man of the State Central Committee, Mr. James
Pollock being the candidate for Governor in that
year. After his election, Governor Pollock
offered Mr. Curtin the office of Secretary of
the Commonwealth, which was accepted
by tho latter. Mr. Curtin was himself elected
Governor in. 1 W0, and re-elected in 18W. He
was inaugurated January 10, IHiU, and during
the next six years was one of the leading spirits
among the loyal Governors of the Northern
States. The militia laws of the State were re
modelled ut his instance only a few days before
the fall of Fort Sumter, und from that event until
the close of tho war he. was active in raising
volunteers and defending the State against inva
sion. Among the soldiers he wivs ulways popu
lar on account of his constant zeal in their behalf.
He was pressed ut the Chicago Convention in
May, 18W, for tho Vice-Presidency on tho ticket
with General Grant, but tho curreut being in
favor of Mr. Colfax, he caused his name to be
withdrawn. Ho took an uctivc interest in the
ensuing campaign, speaking in New-York, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, and other States.
The Dead Keturncd to Life.
The Petersburg (Virginia) IruU-x publishes the
following story:
"By the afternoon train from tho West, on
Wednesday afternoon last, there arrived iu town
a young man named John Collins, a former citi
zen of Petersburg, and known to many of our
readers. In the early part of the war ho enlisted
as a private lu one of tho companies which went
out from the city, and which composed a iortlon
of the 4tst Virginia Regiment, Mahono's Brigade.
He participated in several battles, but at Chan
cellorsville he was reported killed. His com
panions in arms believed him dead, and the sod
intelligence was communicated to his wife and
child. His body was supposed to have been
buried, as the bodies of many soldiers killed In
a fierce battle are, uuideutitied; and it is even
stated that his funeral sermon was preached.
The war went ou and tho war cuded. Battles
and Incidents of the war are fresh in the mind,
and the dead are remembered with affection, ana
their deeds are not forgotten. Collins was only
thought of as dead as one of tho patriots wiio
hud gone from all sceues of strife and trouble;
and it was only when ho stood before them in
r crson that he was able to convince his friends
of their great error. He left the Confederate
lines at Chunccllorsvllle, ami remained out of
them during the remainder of the war. IU then
went West, sought employment, never commu
nicated with his friends at home, aud on Wed
nesday ouly came in search of his wife aud child,
whom ho fouud true to his memory."
Kprlng? 4iiuiiH.
Considerable excitement hits been occasioned
at Johnsburg, Warreu county, Pa., by the killing
of a notorious character named Charles Pasco,
alias Charles Dick, on the premises of a respect
able and well-to-do farmer named Samuel K.
Bahrer. The facts are substantially as follows:
For a long time past Mr. Bahrer has Buffered
severely from the frequent v isits of a gang of
burglars. His grain crils had frequently been
emptied, his fowls taken, and his hirmiug imple
ments destroyed. He frequently kept watch
about his premises, but never succeeded in cap
turing the culprits. As a final resort, he pro
cured a spring gun, which ho mounted In his
barn, loaded. Ho warned all comers by a notice
on the barn of the presence of the gun, and for a
number of days he missed nothing. Some time
on Sunday evening or Monday morning last,
Pasco visited tho premises for plunder, and en
deavored to effect an entrance by tearing away a
Voard. Tho gun went off, and tho contents
lodged in raseo s Heart, Killing mm instantly.
Monduy A. M. his body was found, and also u"
oag which he had in his possession. The news
of the strange occurrence spread rapidly through
the neighborhood, the coroner was notified, and
the bodv bunded over to the family, How the
case wlfl terminate Is uot known. The deceased
was a small farmer, and was looked upon with
suspicion by the community.
I?mlgf nllon of Jew.
The Milwaukee Banner and Yolks round
(German) contained a notice tho other day that
a number of wealthy Jews at Berlin, Prusnla,
were contributing money for the purpose of
compelling the emigration of destitute and de
praved characters ofthe Jewish nationality from
Poland to tho United States. Hie matter has
been brought to the attention of tho Secretary
of State, and in tho Banner and Volksfreund of
April H the following letter is published iu
reply:
'DEt'iRTMKNT OF fiTATK, WASHINGTON, April S,
1S8. Kir: I have received your communication of
the 18th ultimo, enclosing a slip from tho Milwaukee
Banner, in relation to a society which, It Is HUtet,

Cuban Annexation.
The Macon (Ga.) TrlegrapK thinks that the
acquisition of Cuba, buting the honesty of the
thing, would be advantageous both to tho Cubans
and the people of the Culled States. But it
adds: ... ...
"Much of the Northern Immigration which
otherwise would be tempted South will transfer
their destination to Cuba. That islund will forth
with be tho busy scene of Yankee adventurers,
experiments, and speculations of all sorts, which
will astonish tho Cubans who have invited their
fate. It political occupation will involve a hoavv
additional expense. It will demand a larga ad
dition to our military and revenue force, and
this Is but the begiunliig of acquisitions from the
Antilles. The Dominicans In llaytl are already
making overtures for annexation, and probably
In few years we may absorb Island after island,
until we get poBsesaion ol all the group. It will
le a troublcsomo acquisition, but one thln it
lll accomplish, to wit: - It will innko tho col
lection of high tariffs Impossible except at an
expense which will consume tho proceeds."

Oar Nrw MlnMrr Co AiMtrt.
John Jay Is of Huguenot descent, his ancestors
having come to America after the revocation ot
the Edict of Nantes, lu tho political history of
America probably no family occupies a more
prominent position, or enjoys the reputation of
Mich a useful career, as that of Mr. Jay. His
grandfather, John Jay, held the pot of Presi
dent of tho First Congress, and that of Minister
respectively to Spain and F.ngland. Ho was
also one of the Commissioners who nego
tiated the treaty of peace His son, Ju lgo
Wllllum, tho father of the present Joint
Jay. married a sister of tho late Professor
MeVieker, and was one of tho earliest aud most
prominent leaders of the constitutional anti
slavery inovemeut. John Jay, our rfew Austrian
Minister, was born in 1817, and graduated at
Columbia College in 18IW. After a course, of
study of tho luw with the late Daniel Lord,
during which Attorney-General W. M. tivarts
was among his fellow-students, ho was ad
mitted to the bar In lHli'J. Ho continued in
active pursuit of his profession uutil the
death of his father, after which event ho re
moved to tho family estate at Bedford. Among
the more noted eases In which Mr. Jay was pro
fessionally engaged were the Marie, Field will
ease; tbecjise of Williamson against Field, argued
by him before the Supreme Court of tho United
States, with Daniel Webster as the leading op
posing counsel; lu re Kirk, one of the earliest
slave cures in New York, which created at the
time profound excitemeut; in ro Da Costa, two
Brazilian slaves, who. pending tho hearing,
escaped from the Kldrldgo Street Priion; the
celebrated Lemmon trial, on the original
hearing before Mr. Justice Paine, where
eight Virginia slaves, brought to Now
York en route to Texas, were declared free
and despatched lo Klgin, in Canada, to a
farm there prepared for them; hi re Bret, which
litigation was made tho basis of an appeal in tho
United States Senate for addiliouul legislation in
behalf of slavery. Mr. Jay became a manager of
the New York Young Men's Anti-Slavery So
ciety in 1834, and from that time until tho aboli
tion of slavery by the passage of the constitu
tional amendment ol which he mode a report
to tho Union League Club iu 18IT he was an
uctive supporter of the caue. In tho Kpiseopal
Convention of the Dioce of New York be car
ried the admission of the Colored Church of Kt.
Philip's afier a vigorous struggle extending
over a period of nine years. He twiee presided
over the New York State Convention of the Free
Soil party, and we believe in 18!.T was their
candidate for Attorney-General. Mr. Jay has
twice visited Kuropo the first lime in 18t8, ou
w hich occasion he passed some month In Fug
land, where he w:us cordially received bv a large
nnd Influential circle; and again iu lfy'5 and
1860, when he presided ut a Thanksgiving din
ner at the Grand Hotel, Paris the first reunion
of Americans subsequent to tho war. The
speeches there delivered were reported in full
by the Ixmdon Time, und widely commented
;u by the European press. He also presided at a
breakfast giveu in Naples on the !Mof February,
iu celebrutiou of Washington's birthday.
It was during that tour that Mr. Jay was
elected President of the Union league Club of
New York, an ollice to which he has three dis
tinct times beeu re-elected with marked una
nimity. The services of the Club during the war
are now an iinportaut item in history, aud its in
llueuce in tho late Presidential campaign, us
well as since, in discovering tho frauds by
Which Mr. Griswold was defeated, are familiar
to the country. Throughout the war Mr. Jay
was an active member of the Union
League Club, frequently advising with Mr.
Liucoln and his Cabinet. Mr. Jay mtrried,
in 1637, the daughter of Mr. Nickson
W. Field now residing in Rome the oldest sur
viving member of tho Chamber of Commerce.
Ills sou, Colonel William -Jay, served through
out the war, chiefly upon tho staff of General
Meade. Three of his daughters are married re
spectively to Mr. Henry G. Chapman, Major
William II. Sehieffeliu, and E. Randolph Robin
son, Esq., of the New York bar. Apart from his
professional aud public career, Mr. Jay has suc
ceeded in earning for himself a far-famed
renown, and has nobly maintained the tradi
tional reputation of his distinguished family, by
t tie publication oi numerous literary produc
tions, which have more particularly been devoted
to tho discussiou of questions of public Interest.
The Mexloun IfllstNlon.
There is just as much doubt now as to whether
Sickles w 111 be sent as Minister to Mexico as
ever. The llurald't correspondent writes as
follows:
"It seems that after mature consideration
General Sickles, after all, has declined the Moxi
cau mission, lie objects to It for other reasous
thau inadequate pay. Mexico, ho says, may
have attractions for one of those prosy philoso
phers who delight in punting up the historical
records and ethnological distinctions of tho ex
tinct Aztecs, bnt for a live man like himself he
don't think it affords the right kind of a field of
glory. Spain is the country where our Daniel
will be scut. No other nation of the Old World
fills as lurge a share of tho public eye at the pre
sent moment. How its present vague aud nebu
lous political condition will finally crystallize
may form for the astute mlud of the General us
line a subject for llorld thought and prediction
as any that could bo presented. His intellect
and influence could hardly find a better theatre
for their exorcise. He embodies the force, vigor,
and democratic thought of American breeding,
and can do much lor the spread of republican
ideas among the awakening masses of Europe."

Officer Keenan was summoned yesterday to
hold an inquest over the remains of Daniel II.
Dickiuson, one of tho boarders at Mrs. Moore's
boarding-house, No. 1 College place, situated
over the Grocers' Rank, New York.
From what could be learned of the circum
stances surrounding the melancholy case, it ap
pears Dickinson was a native of tho Unitel
Mates, twenty-eight years old, and was employed
as clerk at his uncle's store, No. 43 Murray steeot.
For nine months post ho has boarded at Mrs.
Moore's house, and for about two weeks pa-it haj
been notiiiod to leave because habituated to tho
use of intoxicating liquors. At noon yesterday
Dickinson returned home from the store and
went to his room, which is located on tho fourth
floor of the house. Boon after, Mrs. Moore
heard a pistol-shot, accompanied by a stro.i'
odor of gunjiowder, hut she appears to hive
paid no attention to the matter, uutil at 6 o'clock
last evening, when some of the male board jrs
returned home, as Dickinson had not niado his
appearance since noon, tihe informed them of
what she had heard. The room was vbdted, but
found to be locked on the inside. Au oillcer
was called, and the door was broken open. Dick
inson was found lying dead on tho bed, with
a fearful pistol shot wound in tho right temple,
and a large Colt's navy revolver partially grasped
in his right hand. He had doubtless been dead
for several hours. ' From the position of tho re
mains it is supposed that he laid down on the
bed, and, placing the muzzle of the pistol to his
head, fired. The bullet from the weapon passed
through Into the bruin, where It lodged, causing
almost instant death. Coroner Keenan was sum
moned and took charge of the case. Anion: the
effects of deceased were found a large hatch of
letters, extracts from which ore given bnlow:
