THE TROUBLES OF SPAIN.
Ton wwks piwt we have Loon in the daily re
ceipt of ft melancholy budget of news from
Spain. The revolution in an accomplished
fact, Isabella II has no possible chance or
hope of ever af?ain wielding the sceptre, and
there would seem to bo a general acceptance,
by the majority of the people, of the now
constitution and of the peculiar form of
government which it establishes. But the
monarchical idea is still in abeyance. Ser
rano, who has fairly earned the highest posi
tion in the gift of his countrymen by the
prominent and effectivo part which he has
taken in the overthrow of the old regime, now
presides over the destinies of the country,
nominally as regent or monarch pro ton.
Practically, however, he is simply tho Presi
dent of tho Spanish republic, for, although
the Cortes have adjourned, they have left
behind them in Madrid a commission selected
from among themselves, to whom they have
entrusted a general supervision of affairs and
a special watch npon the movements of tho
Kege-nl. This state of things is calculated to
sattsfy neither party. The llepublicaus are
not content with a republic under
tho name of a regency, with a full
blown king in prospective; the monarchists
ure anything but content with the promise of
a king and the practical existence of a repub
lic. Therefore, while the great majority of
the people appear to be satisfied with the con
btitution and its fundamental provisions, tho
extremists on both sides are prompted by tho
uncertainties of the situation to resort to
violent expedients for promoting their parti
cular interests. Grand republican demon
strations are of frequent occurrence in tho
larger cities, and bands of adventurers who
have espoused the cause of the different aspi
rants to the throne are hovering on the fron
tiers. And now we receive rumors that a plot of
the most dosporate and iiendish character has
been brought to the light in tho capital, em
brecing for its object the assassination of
Serrano, the Regent, Prim, the leader of tho
Government party in the Cortes, and Kivero,
the President of that body.
Whatever may be the merits or demerits of
these three men, and whatever form of gov
ernment may be most acceptable to a ma
jority of the people, it is clearly the duty of
the present Government to crush this dia
bolical conspiracy with an iron hand. If the
assassination of political adversaries be once
inaugurated in Spain, the country will be
given over to anarchy of the type which hai
so long prevailed in the Spanish-American
republics, and her onward career will bo
brought to a summary stand-still. Political
assassinations are the meanest, most cowardly,
and most dastardly resorts of desperate and
rockless demagogues; and when a country is
once threatened with their inauguration, its
fate far years is sealed. The true friends of
Spain, and the most ardent dovoteos of a
Spanish republic especially, would have good
cause for despair if such a villanous scheme
as this triple assassination, in whatever inte
rest it might nominally be perpetrated, should
suceeod. The work of the revolution would
be effectually undone by it for years, and
anarchy would take the place of the com
parative good order and security for person
and property which have thus far prevailed.
There is but one way for Spain out of all
her troubles, and that is the definite and final
settlement of her government. If she is to
become a monarchy in fact, as well as iu
name, let the decision be made, and the king
enthroned, without any further delay. All the
disappointed rivals for the crown will then be
driven to the wall, and such of their adherents
as may still be disposed to make trouble will do
so with the odium and penalties of treason hang
ing over their heads. If, on the contrary,
she is to assume the semblance, as well as the
substance, of a republic, the sooner the empty
mockery of a throne is hidden out of sight
the better. At the time when the elections
for the Constituent Cortes were held, a vast
majority of the people were undeniably in
favor of a constitutional monarchy. Months,
however, have elapsed since then, and during
these months the Spanish people have

ueeu huuwu mat meir existence as
a nation, without a monarch at their head, is
Jiot only possible, but endurable. If the
question were to be again submitted to a
popular -vote, the result would be involved in
considerable doubt, with the chances between
a monarchy and a republic almost evenly di
vided. In view of this fact, it would appear
to be the duty of the de facto Government to
again appeal to the people, and there could
be no doubt tnat the voice of the majority
would be accepted by the minority as the
nnai settlement, lor years to tome, of the
question which now shakes the country from

always dangorous, and when a high-tempered
and chivalrous people like those of Spain are
involved in as much uncertainty and doubt
as at present, the danger of delay is apt to be
fraught wth disaster.
THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND.
England is now passing through a revolution,
the ultimate results of which cannot now be
foretold, but which promises to accomplish
radical changes in the well-worn system that
still remains as a badge of the Norman con
quest. Ever since the battle of Hastings,
when the liberties of the British people were
overturned by a band of Norman adventurers,
there has been a struggle between the con
querors and the conquered. The heels of the
Haxon, and the efforts of the latter to free
himself make up the reoord of English his
tory from William the Conqueror to Victoria.
For a time the Norman ascendancy was un
disputed, and the contest for freedom was
carried on botween tho lords and the king.
Iu tho course of years, however, the common
people began to bo a power, but it is not
until our day that they have seriously threat
ened to overturn tho long-enduring ves
tiges of serfdom, and practically as well
as theoretically tdko tho administration of
tho entire powers of tho government in thoir
own hands. It has been tacitly consented
on all sides that the IIouso of Lords is a
political nullity, an ornamental, appondago,
like the throne; and so long as it did not at
tempt to run counter to the will of the people
as expressed by their elected representatives,
it would probably have been pormittod to
exist for on indefinite period, until the ab
surdity of such a body in a free State should
have impressed itself upon tho average
British mind. It now seems as if the time
was near at hand when tho House of Lords
was to be swept away, with other incumbrances
that ore neither ornamental nor useful, and
for tho existence of which no good reason
can be alleged. Indeed, the Lords may bo
said to have committed hari-kari, and if they
ure abolished it will practically bo by their
own act.
The Irish Church bill is tho rock upoa
Lich they have split. By refusing to accede
to this measure as it came from tho House of
Commons, they placed themselves in a pecu
liarly unpleasant prodicamont. They can
scarcely consent to the original conditions of
the measure and avoid bringing themselves
into ridicule and contempt; whereas if thoy
refuse, they ore themselves seriously threat
ened with a deprivation of the hereditary
privileges they have hitherto enjoyed, and of
being placed politically on a lovel with all
other citizens.
The Commons lost no timo, when the IrisH
Church bill was returned to them with the
disabling amendments of tho Lords, and the
Government achieved a decisive victory by
the prompt rejection of all the encumbrances
imposed by the other House. Last night tho
bill came up again in the Lords, and tho cable
despatches of this morning give us a full and
interesting statement of tho proceedings.
Mr. Gladstone was Accused of not having re
spectfully considered the amendments of tho
Lords, and thore was a general flutter of in
dignation all around among tho conservative
peers. They then, with characteristic Tory
obstinacy, refused to recede from tho position
they had assumed, and on a tost motion to re
store the preamble tho Government was de
feated by a vote of 'Jo to 170, a majority
of 78.
In the House of Commons Mr. Gladstone
was received with cheers on entering, anl
Mr. Melbank asked the significant question
whether it was competent for the House of
Commons to demand an apology from the
House of Peers for the language used by thoir
lordships insolent to the Premier and insult
ing to the dignity of the House of Commons.
The Speaker decided that tho nous of
Commons was not cognizant of what passed
in the other house; but that such a query
should be made is significant of the temper
of the lower house, and it bodes no good for
the peers.
All the influential newspapers, including
the Times, unite in condemning the House of
Lords in the most emphatic manner; and thoy
are held directly responsible for any disturb
ances that may occur through their opposi
tion to the plainly expressed will of tho na
tion. It seems to be conceded that tho fate
of the Irish Church bill has been settled for
this session, and we are given a significant
rumor that Mr. Gladstone will withdraw it,
and as soon as supplies have been voted will
prorogue Parliament, in order to introduce
the bill at the autumn session under circum
stances which will cause the Lords to hesitate
before they reject it. There seems to be
scarcely any doubt that tho ultimate result of
this difficulty will be the downfall of tho he
reditary House of Lords, and its reconstruc
tion on a different and more practical basis.
Mr. Gladstone may accomplish his immediate
object by packing the House with a batch of
new peers; but the most statesmanlike course,
considering the present popular feeling,
would be to make a decisive movement
against the House itself, and sweep away, ot
once and forever, this relic of feudalism.
MIDDIES TO THE RESCUE
The greatest trouble at the watering places
arises from the difficulty tho young ladies ex
perience in finding suitable partners at hops
and balls. Every belle can dance. It is a
part of her education, as indispensable as the
art of thrumming on the piano, or the power
of following the fushions through the mazes
of the Grecian bend. Many of the beaux,
on the other hand, are either ignorant of the
Terpsichorean mysteries, or stubbornly
averse to trippiDg the light fantastic toe.
This amusement often grows insipid to the
masters of Young America before they have
emerged from their teens, while the girl of
the period is naturally reluctant to surrender
the opportunities aff orded by the ball-room
for forming desirable acquaintances and dis
playing her charms. It is, therefore, one of
the most arduous tasks of the day to secure
a sufficient supply of male participants m a
city sociablo or a soa-side hop. Tho visit of
the Grey Reserves to Cape May has solved
this important social problem, temporarily, for
that important locality, and tho charms of
tne season have been heightened to an amaz
ing extent by the readiness of the valiant sons
oi wars to uo lull duty as callant kniohts
the saloons of tho Stockton House, Congress
nan, ona tne Columbia House. But, alas !
i i
our soiuiers ore about to return
w uuiim,i1miiil nun men cnaos
will come again ! In this dilemma, why can
not Admiral 1'orter come to the rescue '( Ho
has in the Naval Academy at Annapolis the
finest body of trained young male dan cers in
the country. They are as familiar with the
luvuut&U invulvtJ ia a sLUTul execution w(
quadrilles', polkas, mazourkas, and waltzes as
with their drill; and it seems a Bheor waste of
raw material to confine the display of thoir
rare talents to an occasional ball at Annapolis.
It opponrs to bo understood that when thoy
go abroad on practice ships, thoy are expocted
to charm tho belles of foreign lands with thoir
superior skill. Why should they be less com
plaisant to tho charming young ladies of thoir
native land ? A trip could be arrangod, with
out much troublo or oxpense, by which tho
school could bo transported during tho sum
mer along tho coast, dividing its time botween
Cape May, Atlantio City, Long Branch, and
Newport. If Admiral Porter wants to bo a
future President, he has a glorious opportunity
to win in advance the votes which are to bo
created wLon tho woman's rights movement
provails. If ho enrols tho emliryo midship
men in tho summer sorvieo of beauty and
fashion, he will need no other claim to tho
swoet voices of the futuro female rulers of
America.
THE KENWIGS" AT LONG ltUANCU.
It seems to bo rather the fashion nowadays
to decry or patronize Mr. Dickens. Mr.
Justin McCarthy lately dealt tho somewhat
distinguished novelist a very genteid wipn,
and he is but one of a largo and growing class.
Nevertheless, Dickons has written some thing
that will bo roinomborod. Mr. Konwig, for
examplo, may bo considered very nearly
immortal. Tho "Mill on tho Floss"' ni'iv.
as Mr. McCarthy snys, show a finer humor
than tho best of Dickens' books, but nothing
short of tho eternal smash predicted by the
preachers can dethrone Ken wigs. Ha is
tho Prince of Vulgarians. His strength
is in meekness. So long as a prototype of
tho collector of water rates exists, an indi
vidual who has a little money to leave to a
largo family of poor relations, so long is it,
probable a Kenwigs will be found to boast of
the olo and oysters with which ho has regain 1
tho great man, and to threaten to disown his
patron if he determines to spend his money
as ho pleases. To return to Kenwigs: who
does not recollect that gentleman's mys
terious but highly decorous proceedings on
a certain interesting occasion ? Tho fashion
of enveloping tho kuockcr or. bell
pull of a house in a whito kid
glove when tho lady of the mansion
has mado hor bosom's lord peculiarly happy,
may not be known outside of England, but it
is one that appeals to tho feminine heart
everywhere. "As long as it's a boy, too," said
Konwigs, "I don't know but what I won't
have it in the papers." One touch of natura
makes tho whole world kin. We all involun
tarily strike hands with Kenwigs, and say that
it certainly should have gone in tho pnps-s,
bs it no doubt did, althoi'sli the historian his
no more to say upon tho subject. Then, i i
addition, we have the pleasurable, excitement
in Kenwigs' neighborhood; the rush of old
ladies to tho Presence; their praise of tho
doctor; their gracious recognition of Kenwigs
as a man all surely going to make up as gro
tesquely true a picture as was ever drawn.
And to see that Kenwigs is like the king,
the phoenix, and the earth, that is to say, that
he never dies, that he arises from Lis ashen,
and that he endureth for ever all that is
necessary tho reader should do is to throw his
eagle glance towards Long Branch at tho pre
sent moment. He will there behold nn entire)
regiment of Kenwigses. Tho front door
knob of the Stetson House may not be covered
with white kid, but for all that the house haq
the highest attraction it has ever had in its
short but brilliant career. General Grant is
thero, and, as too often happens, the Ameri
can public scarcely knows how to behato
itself. Like Mrs. Kenwigs (our old friend's
congenial helpmate), it is ' 'playful, " but, unlike,
that illustrious female, it is not "sewerely pro
per. " We do not think enough attention, enough
honor, can be paid the man who, under God,
preserved this nation. All we can do but
hints at what we feel we owe him, but at the
sume time we hate to see these honors paid
snobbishly and with a want of dignity and de
corum. Republican simplicity is one thing
and want of tact and high breeding is another.
We do not desire to see the knee in snppli-
ance bent nor its pregnant nmges crooked
before any man, but when we honor let it be
as gentlemen. Holding this view, when we
read of the performances of the committee of
the whole assembled at the Stetson House to
devise ways and means of showing the Presi
dent tho rather limited collection of
Long Branch lions, we were forced
to admit painfully that its members
were as like the original Kenwigs as ev r
was. When those well-meaning individuals
convened outside the General's parlor, and
there voted means and supplies, tho likeness
became startling. "As long as it's the Presi
dent we've got," said the committee, "we
don't know but what we won't give him a
ball" the analogy is perfect. Now we want
to know why these arrangements could not
have been made without the whole country
being advised of them, and, beyond all, with
out the distinguished guest being taken
into the conference? The President's
intention of visiting Long Branch was known
days ago. It is not pleasant (at least we ima
gine it is not. for we have nevor had the hard
luck to be placed in such a predicament), but
it certainly cannot be a pleasant thing, upon
r..Ac f Amp. to hear your host and
hostess, in whispered conversation, on tli
hmdintr outside the drawing-room, complain
ing that the wine was so dear or wondering if
there will be ice-cream and jelly enough. Vet
in just such a plight did the poor Presen.

A MODEL DEMOCRATIC ALDERMAN.
Orn citizens have recently witnessod tho ex
traordinary spectoclo of two reckless villains,
Robert M. Lee and Vincent Moonoy by namn,
being turned looso upon tho community by
reason of John A. Hurley, a Demooratio aldor
umn of the Sixth ward, entering bail for thoir
nppearance when wanted. Mooney has twice
failed to present himself, and now tho model
Aldrrman.who was solely responsible for thoir
bang set at liberty, is writhing and squirm
ing under tho prospective forfeiture of the
recognizance. Iico, however, for some un
accountable reason, put in an appearance yes
terday afternoon, and then another remark
able spectacle was presented, that of a de
mand by his counsel that his own bond be
accepted ns security for his futiiTe
appearance. Alderman Hurley doubtless do
sired to retire from the business of bailing
such desperadoos. having had a surfeit of it
in the case of Mooney, but Alderman Kerr,
we aro happy to state, refused to lend his
official sanction to such an unblushing at
tempt at cheating justice. Tho course of
Alderman Hurley, a man who is chargod
under oath with the duty of preserving the
publio peace and tho lives and proporty of
tho people, ingoing bail for a notorious ras
col who has twice been an inmate of tho E ist
ern Penitentiary and onco of tho Illinois State
Prison, cannot be condemned in terms of too
great severity. Ho has proven himself unfit
to hold any position of honor, trust, or profit
in this, or any other respectable and law
abiding community. Tho fact that ho is a
Democrat has nothing whatever to do with
tho case, and has not in auy degree prompted
what we have written. If a Republican
alderman had been guilty of a similar course,
he would have merited and received an equal
condemnation.
Tn k Cincinnati Inquirer makes the following com
parison between tho candidates for the Governorship

"Mr. Packer fs an energetic, experienced, anl

TBE SEW THEATRE ASD THE ACADEMY OF
FJSE ARTS.
vf publish below a communication In relation to
tbe proposed new theatie on the site of the Academy
of Fine Arts, and we are able to lay before our
readers the following information in regard to the
subject. Tho lot and building of the Academy of
the Academy of Fine Arts has beennwa)tMett forth,
sum of $110,000. The lot hafront of 68 feet and a
depth of 180 feet. Thj.pfeseHt walls of the Academy
will be used, and HT'ls Intended to make the most
elegant and contniodlous theatre In the city, capable
of holding from 1800 to 2300 people. A handsome
front will Jae erected npon Chesnut street, with
wide entrance hall In the middle, and handsome
stores on either side of It. Above thero will be a line
concert room, the rental of which, with the stores,
wllirring in a considerable income independently of
the receipts of the theatre. There is certainly room
for such a theatre as this is proposed to be, and if it
IB well managed, It ought to be a profitable Invest
ment as well as a handsome ornament to the city.
The following Is the communication referred to
Editors of The Evening Telegraph:
Having noticed In your article of last evening on
"The New Chesnut Street Theatre" a refer ence to
an advertisement which lately appeared In sever al
iif the city papers, we would state lu regard to It
tbat, thinking It bore on Its face tho obvious marks
ofsforgery, we determined to pass in by In silence.
BuKus its artful wording seems to have deceived the
couirhtmlty, we pronounce lfctitirely unauthorized
and destitute of tnHft.t'ls Intended to erect on
the site of tl75"!traVTemy of the Fine Arts a theatre
in every respect llrst-cluss, which we hope will not
be fteo yearn iu establishing Itself In the favor of the
city, to which we hope to make It an ornament and
an attraction. Believing that our enterprise will
meet with the approval of onr fellow-citizeus as
soon as we are enabled to lay It before them, we beg
their Indulgence till that time, with the assurance
that we shall bring it to their nottc through other
channels than anonymous advertisements or mali
cious rumors. Hespectfully,

Philadelphia, July il.
In this connection we would remark that we un
derstand the directors of the Academy of Fine Arts
propose to suspend the operations of that institution
for iwo years, and they anticipate that by that time
the necessity for an Academy will be felt so severely
that they will be entreated to commence operations
again on any terms. They need not wait so long,
however, as the clamor for a now Academy baa be
gun already, and we hope thut there will be no more
delay than Is absolutely necessary in giving us one.
We are not sorry that the old building has been Bold,
and that the directors have concluded that it Is beat
for them to suspend business. Tho dissatisfaction
with the Institution under its present organization Is
wide spread, and there is now an excellent opportu
nity to do away with the superannuated ideas that
have clung around the present building, and to
make a fresh start with some hope of success. So
long as the Academy ol Fine Arts exists under Its
old organization it stands dtrectly in the road of
something better ; and it is best that it Bhould be
swept out of existence. The collection of works of
art will make an excellent nucleus for a new Aca
demy ; and if the matter is prosecuted with energy
and enlightened enterprise.there is probably enough
wealth and art culture in Philadelphia to endow a
genuine Academy of the Fine Arts in tho most
liberal manner. This is a consummation devoutly
to be wished; and a thoroughly organized art
school in this city will give an impetus to the study
of art throughout the whole country, and bring
about results that can only be dimly estiniutfd i the
present time

The accounts of the feabody fund hare
lately been published, and it is evidont that tho
donor's Intentions are being carried out faith
fully, and tho expenditure regulated with care
and economy. Hut thero Is ono way In which
tho charity may ruin Its purpose; and whllo this
contingency Is clearly perceived, it seems very
dillicult to guard against it. It has been found
that buildings such as those now belnir. crectod
do not benefit the claaa for which thoy were In
tended, but aro occupied by artisana who can
ti fiord to pny a higher rent, and who previously
lived comfortably enough elsewhere, Hiving
shilling more for rooms perhaps not quite ho
good. In thia way, wo aro afraid, the charity is
diverted for tho benefit of people for whom It
was never Intended. Hut the difficulty of the
tru.t does not only Ho In the above fact, but in
its converse. To exclude Is easy enough, hut
tho problem is how to porsuado thoao dwel
lers among the tomba, the inhabitants of cel
lars and attics, to conio forth and live
cleanly and comfortably, and at the
same time, as they necessarily
must, to submit to some control. They prefer
to dwell by families iu tho dirt and Independence
of the miserable dens they call their homca, and

how they are to be got at, hut this ia certain,
that wretchedness and filth mean vlcoand crime,

resectable to fill tho l'eabody buildings with

to look for their tenants in crowded courts and

1 he reported determination of the Prussian
Government not to renew the convention with
Uussia for tho extradition of political offenders
has given rise to much hostile comment in the
Uussiun press. This famous convention, which
created ho much Indignation in Europe in 181)3,
has repeatedly been made tho subject of inter
pellations from Liberal deputies in the Prussian
Chamber, and it is now generally understood
that when the period for which it was made ex
pires, which will bo in a few months, Count Hi
mark will allow it to lapso altogether. The
Kussian papers point out that this ia one of the
many disadvantages for Russia created by the
events of 18011; and that tho independent tono
which has since then been assumed by the Her
lin Cabinet, and especially by Count Bismark,
shows that Prussia, instead of being a sure ally,
as formerly, mav now becoino on occasion even
a formidable enemy. They add that the conven
tion is one of the most important guarantees of
the preservation ol peace in Poland, and accord
inifly urge their Government at once to open nc
gotintions for its renewal. .
