THE SrANTHIl GOVERNMENT
AND
the vle nay.
After the expulsion of Isabella II tho Spanish
rrovinionnl Government proved its own wis
dom and gave promise that a new era was in
deed to be inaugurated by guaranteeing re
ligious liberty. Spain has for centuries been
tho stronghold of clerical supremacy and
religious bigotry, and even in our day it
Beomed as if it would be impossible to over
throw them. Indeed, it yet remains to bo
seen whether the victory is complete, and the
principal troubles of the newly organized
government appear to arise from the open as
waII o flip secret hostility of the Church
party. The ascendancy of the clergy in Spain i
Las been a problem for philosophers and j
statesmen even more than for the
students of ecclesiiistieisiu. liuckle, j
Jwho was perhaps better titled
than any man of our day to give the subject
a fair, impartial, and critical examination:
looking at it with the unprejudiced eyes of a
Cool, cautious, and unbiassed philosopher;
weighing carefully each fact, and linking them
with judicial fairness into a strong link of
evidence, has given it as his deliberate
opinion that the decline of Spain from her
once proud position as the first power in
Europe was due principally, if not solely, to
the influence of the priesthood: and deducing
Lis opinion from the wide array of facts
which he brings together, he comes to tho
conclusion that religious intolerance is in
grained in the very nature of tho people, and
that consequently there is no hope that they
will ever rise above it, or ever wish to free
themselves from it. 'Whether this list
opinion is correct or not remains to be seen:
the problem is now in process of solution,
and the half reconstructed government is
already engaged in a contest with the clergy,
and it is impossible to tell now which side
Will ultimately get the upper hand.
The new constitution made a concession to
the clergy by recognizing the Catholic as the
national religion an error that was perhaps
unavoidable, although it is likely that a bolder
policy in the beginning would prevent trouble
inj the future. Still, it was a tremendous
Step in advance for such a country as Spain to
do this much; and in guaranteeing the free
dom of all forms of religion, the lloman
clergy will be obliged to contend for the su
premacy of their particular creed on some
thing like equal terms. Iteligious tyranny of
any kind, whether Protestant or Catholic, is
the most onerous and degrading, as well as the
most difficult to overturn, that mankind has to
6uffer under; and to overthrow the political
influence of the clergy is the first and most
important step in national progress and enligh
tenment. Austria took this step when, under tho
guidance of the enlightened statesman who is
now placed at the head of her affairs, the con
cordat was revoked, and the interference of
the clergy in civil affairs was forbidden. Eng
land took such a step when she disestablished
the Irish Church in spite of the vigorous
opposition of her Episcopal hierarchy; and
that the English clergy ate as intoWant,
bigoted, and opposed to liberal ideas as are
those of Home, was sufficiently demonstrated
Ly their action in regard to this great measure
of reform. It is fair to presume that both in
England and Austria a permanent step in ad
vance has been made, and that there will be
no retrogression: tho situation in Spain, how
ever, shows a great experiment still in pro
gress, with the result doubtful. It may be true
that revolutions never go backwards, but they
sometimes succumb, and although tho influ
ences of the present overturning f old ideas
in Spain cannot fail to have a great effect on
the future of the nation a relapse into political
and religious despotism is neither impossible
nor altogether improbable.
The present government does not com
mand the respect of the people like one de
signed to be a permanency, and tho publiu
mind is consequently in a feverish state, im
patient to know what is to be done next, and
in a condition eminently favorable to the
schemes of demagogues and intriguers of all
kinds. Tho .recent Carlist demonstration
was brought about by the clergy, and al
though the plot was promptly supp ressod, it
shows plainly tho danger that threatens the
new system. The government has shown its
appreciation of tho real cause of tho outbreak
by adopting a line of policy towards the clergy
that" will probably mako them careful hero
after how they commit themselves. The
bishops are callod upon to report what steps
thev have taken to restrain disloyalty,
and to furnish to the government tho
names of tho conspirators, and they
are also required to issue their
nastorals within eight days, requiring obedi-
enop to the laws. The cable informs us that
ihe decree concerning tho conduct of the
clergy gives general satisfaction, but that thus
far the bishops have maintained silence on
the subject. The government has tho upper
Land at present, certainly, but tlio question
is. TInw lono will it maintain it ? Tho Cortes
will assemble in October, and its principal
business will be to elect a king. With
strong and liberal monarch on tue tnrone,
who will keep himself entirely free from all
clerical influences, the liberties of Spain will
probably be assured; but with a weak or
bigoted ruler the clerical powers will cer
tainly again come into power, "and will make
strenuous efforts to m&intuiu their position
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The next great railway enterprise of tho world
promises to be the construction of a Northern
Pacific Railroad, running nearly paralld with
the Union and Central Paciflo, through a
region some three or four hundred miles
further north than the iron link which now
connects the shores of our ocean-bound repub
lic. Theproposed route isnowbeing carefully
examined by tho members of an exploring
party, whose report, if satisfactory to Eastern
capitalists, will at once place this gigantic en
terprise on a good financial basis, and
lead to its speedy success. In the States east
of the Mississippi, several great trunk lines,
scarcely more than a hundred miles apart,
are now absolutely necessary to facilitate in
ternal travel and commerce, and in tho Far
West at least three are required for tho proper
development of its varied resources. The
Union or Central road is now substantially
completed. Many projects for a Southern
Pacific Railway over various routes are under
consideration, and the claims of tho Northern
Pacific to support will soon bo forcibly pre
sented. Congress has authorized the exten
sion of aid in the shape of largo donations of
valuable- land, but as its mineral resources
were not well known at tho time the existing
Pacific Railway system was devised, no bonds
or money were granted, and from present in
dications tho requisite capital must bo ob
tained from private capitalists.
The new route will traverse the most pro
ductive and desirable portion of our western
domain. It is substantially the region tra
versed by the Lewis and Clark expedition,
organized by Jefferson more than sixty years
ago, which first gave authentic information to
the American people and the world in regard
to the character of tho vast regions lying to
tho northwest. Subsequently, when the va
rious Pacific Railroad projects wore subjected
to accurate governmental investigation, some
eighteen or twenty years ago, the engineers
and officers selected to examine the northern
route reported that it was entirely practicable,
and that it traversed many districts which
could easily bo rendered extremely productive
by careful culture. Tho climate is eompara
tively mild on account of tho depression of
the mountain system near our northern boun
dary. The reduced elevation more than com
pensates for the high latitude, and no serious
obstructions need be feared from snow storms.
Nature seems to have marked out the north
ern routo as the proper one for a great
national highway, because the navigable
streams of the Atlantic and Pacific here make
the nearest approach to each other; and
by the construction of a railway only a few
hundred miles in length, it would be entirely
practicable to convey bulky merchandise, by
combined land and water transportation,
across the entire continent. It has another
advantage in the fact that communication be
tween the western coast of Oregon with Japan
and China is more direct than the route west
ward from San Francisco. Besides, agricul
ture over many portions of this line will need
none of the assistance from irrigation
which American farmers aro slow
to give, and abundant crops can
be ensured by the culture with which they are
already familiar. As Minnesota is now in
many respects the best and greatest of our
wheat-growing States, so other districts of
equal fertility and of immense extent will, bo
opened up. Nor are mineral treasures want
ing. Hie mines 01 iciano ana Aiomana are
of unexampled richness. For several years
past they have contributed the principal por
tion of native gold received by our mints, and
some of their quartz mines may hereafter be
profitably and productively worked for ages
to come.
It is a settled law of emigration that men
follow isothermal lines with wonderful exacti
tude in their migratory movements. As a
consequence, in the natural course of things,
the route of the Northern Pacific Railroad will
become the homo of millions of the descend
ants of the present population of New Eng
land, New York, the northern portions of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, as
well as of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and the northern nations of Europe.
This thrifty race works wonders wher
ever it goes. Possessing indomi
table industry, dauntless courago, and
great inventive powers, it utilizes every
available resource with amazing rapidity, and
builds up every region it occupies with uner
ring certainty. It will be by no means sur
prising if thirty years hence the region under
consideration bears the same relation to the
trans-Missouri region that the northern por
tions of the Union east of the Missouri bear
to the States that occupy a more southern
latitude. And a railway that penetrates the
Yankee-land of the Far West need have no
fear of procuring plenty of freight and pas
sengers. We have already published several articles
descriptive of portions of tho route of tho
great new enterprise. A letter appears in
our columns to-day, which gives a vivid pic
ture of the forests and sea-coast of Oregon,
and conveys a realizing sense of the future
greatness of that distant portion of the
Union.
REDUCTION OF CAULK RATES.
The first result of the successful landing of
tho French cable is a reduction of the rates
on the old lines, mid with tho competition
that will be excited we may expect still
further reductions and a corresponding in
crease in mo business none uy tne ocean
telegraph companies. At present the charges
are so exorbitant that tho cables aro not cm
ployed at an iy a great number 01 persons
who would bo willing to pay reasonably high
rates for tho transmission of ordinary des
patches. Tho Government, wealthy business
houses, and the newspapers are now almost
tho only customers of the cable companies;
and these are obliged to use tho lines and pay
the prices whether or no. With a, multiplica
tion of the cables tho tariff will necessarily
be lowered and tho buwiuoss will
be greatly increased, to the mani
fest H'.lywst ?i ft? rVlli.
papers will be ennbled to obtain longer
and more interesting despatches, and thou
sands of messages will be transmitted by the
public at large whore one is at present. If it
is found that those lines already in operation
are crowded, others will be projected, and in
after years there is a likelihood that a dozen
cables instead of three will unite this conti
nent with Europe; and care will be taken that
those constructed in future shall not be wholly
under the control of foreign governments.
The new tariff of charges on the old cable
lines, which will go into operation to-day, will
be thirty shillings sterling, or seven dollars
and a half in gold, for ton words, and three
shillings sterling, or seventy-five cents in gold,
for each extra word. Tresa messages will be
sent at half those rates.
Annexation makes quiet progress in the
lands to the north of us. Tho Rlue Noses
and the Kanueks alike are slowly recognizing
the principle of "manifest destiny," and
swelling the ranks of the annexation party.
The Governor-General of the New Dominion
recently delivered an address at a banquet
given in his honor at Quebec, in the course
of which he gavo a very unsatisfactory reason
for the diminution of the British forces in the
provinces, and then announced that the Do
minion is now virtually independent, and at
liberty at any time to break loose from the
mother country and enter into "some other
form of alliance." We have frequently had
semi-official assurances that Groat Britain
would be glad to get rid of her possessions in
North America, and now that Sir John Young
has spoken so freely and candidly, there can
be no doubt upon the subject. The rapid
diffusion of tho annexation spirit may now be
anticipated. It will probably assume at first
the guise of a movement towards indepen
dence, but independence means ultimately
nothing more nor less than absorption by the
United States.
The Mobile Riot. At last wo have re
ceived another version of the disturbances
which took place in Mobile, Alabama, on the
evening of Thursday last, and we now find
that the first report was grossly, and without
doubt purposely, incorrect. The trouble was
commenced by the appearance at the Repub
lican meeting of a notoriously quarrelsome
man, who opened the onslaught by firing his
pistol. The meeting was twice compelled to
disperse, and when it was broken up the
second time, tho crowd of Rebels pursued the
retreating Republicans, tiring into them as
they left tho scene of murder. It is about
time that these spasmodic outbursts of trea
son were put an end to.
Ryan, the Libehatok, has at last accom
plished something. He has administered a
severe horsewhipping to one Day, his quondam
private secretary, whom he had accused of an
attempt to entice him into tho United States,
within reach of tho process of the Federal
courts. Men who make as much bluster as
Ryan generally achieve something about as
brilliant and commendable as the thrashing of
an unarmed man within an inch of his life.
OIJITUAItY.
ClinrlcN ('. Little.
Mr. Charles C. Little, the senior partner of the
well-known publishing linn of Little, Hrown Co.,
ot Boston, died alter an illness of several months, at
his residence in Cambridge, to which he had re
cently returned from a trip to the milder climate of
the South. He has resided in Cambridge for thirty-
live years past, and leaves a widow with four
children the former the daughter of the late Hon.
Henry Wheaton, a standard writer ou international
law.
Mr. Little was born July 25, 1799, at Kennebunk,
Me., and had celebrated his seventieth birthday
shortly before his death. He was indeed the archi
tect of his own fortune, starting in life us a boy in a
shipping house in Boston. He soon sailed to Charles
ton, S. C. spent a winter there, and theu returned
to Iifcston. He now entered the bookstore of Carter,
llillitird A Co., and by his invaluable services in time
became a partner in the llrm of llllliard, Gray, Little
A Wilkins. He dissolved these relations in 1337.
when he associated himself with the late James
Brown as Charles Little & Co., and their publications
have comprised some of the first works in this conn
try. Mr. Little was President of the Charles River
National Hank, atrustee of Mount Auburn Cemetery,
and held other responsible positions. He was a man
of marked personal and social virtues.

Street.
PHti,Ar-i.PHiA, July J7, I.
The PENNSYLVANIA STATE EOUAL RIGHTS'
LEAGUE auxin issues its call to the Leaoues of this
State, snd to the citizens who are yet disfranchised, earn
estly urging them to attend the Annual Meeting of the
I-eagne, which will convene in Huidrkoper's Hall, MF.A I)
VIIXK. on TUKHDAY, August 17, IW, at 10 o'clock A. M.
The many startling events which have transpired since
our last meeting make the approaching one, which will bo
the fifth annual session of the League, of morn Importation
than any we hare ever held. Tho Groat Republican Party
Is triumphant ; tho Great Military Chief of the Age is
President of the Nation; the Constitution of fie Cnited
States Is amended, and its ratification by the m jimite
number of States so nearly completed that we may claim
it as an accomplished fact ; and black men are rotors and
nil omcos of trust, honor, and emolument.
At the coming meeting of the League, the molt vital
issues must be mot and fully disonssed; the gravost sub
jects must be presontod, subjects involving our prosent
peace, political and social condition as well as our security
for the future. Our destiny, by the wdll of God. appears to
be indissolubly bound to that of our native country.
With it we will rise- with it we miv fall. The nnfoldlng
of tho broad platform of equal political rights, with equal
political privileges, opens to us all tho responsibilities anil
duties of the citizon which tyrants have long donind u.s,
and to-day we constituted part of tlio groat governing
power of tho republic.
Not as in days past does tho League now summon yon
not to aid the Hoeing fugitive, nor to shield him from tho
gory grip of tho inhuman kidnapper or tho official clutch
of the debased Unitod States morconary. Neither is it to
petition Congress for rights denied, grievances to bo re
dressed, person and property to be protected, or froedom
and life to be secured. Noris It to ask tho Legislature of
1 ennsylvania to pass a bill to secure us in tho right of un
molested travel in railroad cars throughout this Common
wealth ; a right which was denied by reason of our color
and which, through tba instrumentality of a committee
of the Leaguo, we now enjoy, in defiance of tho prejudice
of the dominant classes, and in defiance of others still
more unmanly, who, being prompted by envy unit porsonal
malignity, lent their fruitless cllorts. oven at tho jeopardy
of this great right, to cmbarass tho League in its en
deavors to securo this just act of legislation, ft istotho
call of Mi ii, Hrnthen, and Amrrimn Ciihfim that you are
summoned. You are callod to meet this living important
crisis, which unparalleled ovents, Ihe rending in wain oj
the "cord of caste," the overturning of oppression, and
the judgment of God havo forced upon the nation.
Yiu aro called upon to calmly consider and resolutely
adopt somo feasible, practical plan, by which wo may mass
tlio vote of our peoplo to uphold and sustain intact the
Republican party and those noblo mon, representatives of
that courago and heroism which have saved the nation;
men who in the Congress of tho United States and in the
Mate Legislatures unflinchingly mot the tmest ion raised
by tho life-long enemies of our race and of the country, as
to tho right of the colored men throughout tho North to
vote, and to exercise all other rights enjoyed by virtue of
citizenship.
Como from yrur workshops, from your fields of labor,
from the factory, the school houso, and farm. Come from
your h mos and families. For this occasion let our minis
tors leavo their pulpits, our working men thoir avocations,
and our professional men their duties.
Let our tin lu-htful. active, vigilant men conn together
and so completely organize and combine that not a vote
shall be lost, I ut that they may lie polled to crush tho
enemies of law and order of Union and Liborty.
To the great principles which animate the Republican
party we stand pledged by evory tie of honor and grati
tude. To God, Liberty and our Country, over t'le broken
chains and flushed manacles that bound the lini'is of
millions, we havo written our deathless adherence.

From facts that have come to our knowledge, it Is

It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering waa heard by parties in the

arise from the railroad men replacing a defective

of the drills, were left. It is evident that they were
