Thebb is scarcely any country In the world, except France or Spain, where a tragedy like that reported by the cable telegrams from Madrid could have occurred. Elsewhere the members of royal families do their fighting by proxy, and lack at once the courage and the motive to risk their lives in mortal com bat. Cut the1 disposition to dare fate in the high old Roman fashion still prevails so strongly on Spanish soil that on Saturday last the Duke do Montpensier killed Prince En. rique de Bourbon in a duel, which was ar ranged from the outset to be a "fight for a funeral." The surviving party to this fearful conflict is a prominent candidate for the throne of Spain. He is the son of Lotus Philippe, ex-King of France, the hus band of the sister of Isabella, ex-Queen of Spain, and a blood relation of the man he killed, as well as his cousin by marriage. Prince Enrique is the brother of the hus band of the ex-Queen Isabella, as well as the cousin of Isabella and of Montpensier's wife. He was one of the few modern Bourbons gifted with courage and brains. He de plored the vices of Isabella, and was by her, in turn, ostracized. He aoquiesced cheerfully in the results of the revolution, and made such fervent protestations of his devotion to liberalism that he won the friendship of same of the most radical of Spanish Republicans, and two Republican deputies in the Cortes acted as his seconds in the late duel. His real position, however, was similar to that assumed by Thilippo dEgaHto,the grandfather of Montpensier, in the French revolution of the last century. A few months ago he addressed a remarkable letter to the Regent of Spain, in which ho described at length the earnestness of his repeated efforts to induce Isabella to abdicate in favor of her son, and he intimated that it was part of his scheme that this son should become the husband of his (Prince Enrique's) daughter. He pro fessed a perfect willingness to submit to the decrees of the nation if it decided in favor of a republic; he avowed Ms opposition to priestcraft and absolutism under all circumstances; but he evidently hoped that he would become a commanding power behind the new throne he was en deavoring to erect. He seems to have con sidered Montpensier one of the greatest ob stacles to the success of this ambitious pro ject, and he has resolutely antagonized the royal pretensions of the Duke throughout. After bitterly denouncing him in various let ters published from time to time, these attacks culminated in an onslaught branding Montpensier as "a Jesuit, conspira tor, and bloated French pastry-cook," which was the immediate cause of the duel. In reality the combatants were literally "fighting for a crown," and one of the most romantio and thrilling of ancient incidents was thus repeated in this prosaic age. Nothing could be more sanguinary than the terms of the duel ar ranged for this mighty stake. At a distance of ten paces, or, after the first shot, only three paces, they fired alternately from revolvers. Three shots were discharged on each side, and two slight wounds were inflicted before the third bullet of the Duke killed his rival. "Whatever we may think of these descendants of an old race which is generally deemed effete, they cannot at least be branded as cowards after this terrible exhibition of mis applied courage. "Whether the cause which Prince Enrique so valiantly espoused will perish with him remains to be Been, but it is scarcely probable that Montpensier's chanoes of success will be improved by his bloody deed; and it would not be surprising if such a reactionary feeling of sympathy for the slaughtered mans family should spring up that his death would open up a pathway for his daughter, in conjunction with the son of Isabella, to the Spanish throne. Notwithstanding; the denunciations le veiled against General Sheridan by the new school of Democratic hnmanitarians which has lately sprung np in Congress, he issued a general order on Saturday commending Colo nel Baker and his command for their slaugh ' ter of a band of Piegan Indians, in Montana, He alleges that these savages have hitherto murdered and robbed the white settlers with comparative impunity, retreating north of the British line when they were pursued, and returning whenever they could plunder, scalp, and slay defenseless communities. The only possible mode of punishing them was by a winter campaign, which, as they were un prepared for it, turned against them tactics similar to their own. Sparing neither age nor sex in their incursions, the Ameri can soldiers were equally merciless, and though the sacrifice of Indian women and children is indefensible, from our Eastern stand-point, Sheridan so far sympathizes with the sanguinary spirit that is always developed in frontier warfare that 2m has not stopped to consider the age or sex of the "one hundred and seventy-three In dians" who were killed. In one sense, this is barbarism, and if it can be palliated at all, it must be by a reoollection of the hideous brutality of the foe. The soldiers who re membered the fate of their comrade! at Fort rhil. Kearney, and who were familiar with the lonir catalogue of bloody deeds perpe trated by their adversaries, were in no mood to be merciful, we cannot appiaua tueir reUulitM vgry; but tsoiW i.iw W condemn it as a totally imiofensible act be come too bitter in thoir consnres.lot thorn try n few winter campaigns on the plains, and they will be better preparod, after this school ing, to decide what policy should be par-mod with the Indians. Tuk FinsT experibncb of the women right ists in the enjoyment of one of the noble privileges heretofore monopolized by tyran nical man is trying. Impanelled as a jury in the Howie murder case, they cannot agree, and a despatch from Omaha states that, after being confined for four nights, "the women look pale and fatigued," notwithstanding the innovation upon ancient usages by which they "were allowed their dinners and sup pers." Strict orders were given, however, to have them looked up tintil the time appointed for the meeting of the Court, so that they have the full benefit of this glorious right. "When they have finished their labors as jury men we hope they will set out on electioneer ing tours. Let them canvass the county as candidates for the leading offices, seeking for the sweet voices of voters after the most ap proved fashion; let them encounter all the incidents and accidents of an exoiting cam paign, get the officos if they can, and then we hope they will be candid enough to let the world know how much of the grace of womanhood is left, and how much they have endured to find themselves bereft of self respect. TnE people who crossed the ocean on the steamer Smidt were beguiling their long and tedious voyage with music and dancing at the very time that two hemispheres were in daily expectation of tidings that they had all gone to the bottom of the sea. "What a relief would it be if we had assurance that the passengers of the City of Boston were now enjoying themselves in like fashion in some far Southern haven, while the vessol underwent repairs! The safe arrival of the Smidt gives rs a reasonable hope that the City of Boston will yet make land, without any more serious cause for delay than in the case of the other long-missing Rteamer. QUI I' Alt V. Don Fnrliiue de llonrbon. A cablo telegram from Madrid gives tbe par ticulars of a murderous encouutor betweeu the Due do Montpensier and Don Enrique de Bour bon, which transpired on Saturduy morning seven miles from the walls of the Spanish capi tal. The soconds of Montpensier were General Cordova and Alaraiuor, and those of Don Enrique two Republican deputies in the Cortes, one of them beiug Scnor liubio. Lots wore drawn for the first lire, Dou Enrique winning: but it was not Until ho had missed his adversary twice and Montpensier had also fired one shot without effect,tbat, standing within three paces of each other, the latter took deliberate aim at Dou Eo rique, and shot him through the head. Don Enrique Mario Ferdinand do Bourbon, Due de Seville, was boru on the 17lh of April, 1823. He was the second son of Francisco de Paulo, Duke of Cadiz, a maternal uncle of the ex-Quccn Isabella II, and his elder brother is Dou Francises d'Astsiz, the husband of the ex Queen. His mother was the Infanta Lulsa Car- lotta Maria Isabella, the daughter of Frauds I, King of the Two Sicilies. On the 5th of May. 1847, ho was mairicd to Dona Helena de Cas telvl y Shelley Fernandez do Cordova, at Rome. The only public position of Importance held by him was that of Vice-Admlral of the Spanish fleet, which he attained in 1850, at the ago of twenty-seven. His life has been a varied and unfortunate one, his political career being ended by a royal decree which deprived him of his Tank as an Infante of Spain in March. 1867. Previous to this, during part of the reign of Isabella II, he was the most important person in Spain, being regarded as much superior, both intellectually and morally, to his brother. Of late he had been living iu France, and it was only a few months ago that he crossed the bor der, with tho object, it is believed, of provoking the very quarrel which terminated iu his tragic death. The leading events of his earlier career were thus summed up by him in a letter addressed to Regent Serrano on the 14th of January last: My uniform reminds me that I owe mr entrance Into the navy and my rank of officer of the Govern ment to ine most eminent citizen or Spain the man whose unstained clones ecliuse all tho mnt.n of the moderns the Liberal whose consistency and honor contrast so much with the administrative and political Immoralities the country deplores and IiIh tory records the modest man who, retired In an bumble corner of his province, shines so greatly uuove ine pnue uuu pomp ui mose umoiuous men who were born of nobody, or in the sloughs or crimi nal Intrigues ttiu illustrious veteran whose brow wears that best of crowns, tho aurora popular, and of whom, In spite of his years, It may be said no envy can extinguish the light, or his national glorv, for honor never grows old. In demanding fro in your Hlghnekg and the Government tha restitution of my rank, I record that I begau to serve under the moral and patriotic regency of General Kspartcro, Duke of Victoria, against whom X did not conceit wlih the navy of 1S43, the source of all the calumnies which have ailllcted the country up to the rebellion oi September, and wltti out which lamentable event Isabella II would have received a proper education la good dispositions, aud not have adopted the system of the cruel and Immoral men of the reaction, nor of those who brought their knowledge to serve the passions, the vices, the necessities, and tho caprices of the poliiti clans, with the funds of the nation. I belong to the time of Espartero. and In It 1 learned to be a good citizen and a loyal otllcer. For not putting myself against him among the troops under O'Douticii and the other generals In 1856, 1 received a fresh banish ment, andf nevertheless many of those who then combated the people in the peison of t!ie Duko had to return revolutionaries. These contests have cost blood much ana precious niooa uselessly shed, I have never participated in them, and so can pre sent myself before the country without a single Stain oil 111 j cuuauieuue ui mjr uuiiuriu." During the revolution ot 1808, which terml nated in driving from tho throne and country his cousin, he espoused, in a temperate way, the cause of the ex-Queen, although, as he claimed in the letter to the Regent just quoted from, he had combated tho fatal policy of Isa bella II, alleglrjg that "she had aa and time enough to discern between tho good aud bad, and to distinguish the useful and proper from the wicked." In tho same epistle he complained also of "the evil and ruin the reign of Isabella II had produced In politics, and, in private life, to tbe poor children of the Infante Don Fran cisco and Dona Lulsa Carlotta," referring in this connection to the husband of the ex-Queen as well as to himself. Professing Liberal pinions and accepting candidly the results of the revolution, as soon as tbey were inevitable, he espoused heartily the cau8o of the anti- Montpensier party from tho moment that the name of his assassin was first brought forward as a candidate for tbe vacant throne. In July, 18G9, be visited the ex Queen in Paris, and gave the results of his in- . i-. , , , I kiiiob mm nor in tun icuer aircaay reierreu i to. lie declared to the Regent that he could not i iu,iu Uc ci. u;u'iion, riiucc Aif.ua,, Mum he described a a "poor and Innocent boy," rxnrt averted ttnt, if ho came to the throne, ho would bo neither his enemy nor his courtier, but would retire from all politics and terminate his days In a foreign land. Tho chief object of his visit to tbe ex-Queen in July last appears to have been to persuade her to abdicate in favor of her son, but underneath this was a grand design to make himself tho most Important personage la Spain In case tbe country acquiesced In this settlement of Its difficulties and accepted Prince Alfonso as KlDg. This project was nothing less than tho marriage of his daughter to tho cx-Quocu'a son, in which case ho would naturally become the controlling spirit of the Government, with the possibility of being clothed with tbe title and authority of Regent during tho minority of Prince Alfonso. On the 15th ot August, 180'J, ho again visited Paris, and had an interview with General Prim, at that time the head of tho Spanish Cabinet. Several interviews with the ex-Queen and Prim followed, and after the re turn of the lattor to Madrid, Isabella, on the 3d of October, as alleged by Don Enrique, con sented to abdicate formally; but In half an hour was prevailed upon by opposite counsel to re voke her promise. Disheartened at this result, Don Enrique assured the ex-Queen "that if Marforl (her confessor and evil genius), his agents, friends, and adulators, contlnuod to be all in all In the palace, he would never return to her in his life," and at once repaired to Madrid. The refusal of Italy to assent to the candida ture of the Duke of Genoa revived tho hopes of Montpensier and stimulated tho antagonism of Don Enrique. On tho 14th of Jauuary last, as already stated, he addressed to the Recent tho remarkable letter from which we have already quoted, appealing to tho Government for the restitution of bis dignities, and referring in tbe following pointed manner to his enemy, tho Due de Montpensier: "If the Duko of Montpensier should carry out his menace to lie King or Kegeut to the grave point or a secret conspiracy, at the head or which may be persons I must bo excused from naming, I will Join these who combat him, and shed the rust drop or in blood against such treason, lint if Espartero should bo brought to Madrid upon the shoulders of this nation, which does not wear the livery of Monpeu sler, or forget that it Is sovereign. 1 will salute mm; for I love what is noble aud honorable. When suborned villains are ready to proclaim Montpensier in v liberal aud Spanish heart will cry, 'Espartero I' The (lovetnmont know that I am neither a disloyal prince nor a bad Spaniard. If tho fact of my haviug come into the world receiving the name of llouroon from my truly liberal parents be judged sufficient to cause respect to be paid to the sentence of Narvaez against mo, and to round the political ltuiiilsltlou in Spain npon the ashes of the religious lniiuMltiou, I have nothing more to say, but to deplore such a sad lutetpretatlon or the cultivated nineteenth century an Interpretation only worthy of the barbarous prleslhood of past ages, who lu such a Chrlstlauiike manner applied to their uulortuiiste victims the designation cf eursed races. 1 shall then accept tho new sanbculto (penitential garment) aud luquUi torlal caHtigulion, but I shall demaun equal jintice upon the head of the pretender, the Duke of Mnrit peus er, who as also a Ujurlion, and endowed with Bn hypocrisy I do not possess, must be deprived f Ills (ositlmi as Captuln-Geiieral in our national armv, for, however much money he possesses, Spain ivce"ives none of It, it not being she who sells herself to him. Thus we shall all remain equally conformed to equity, and then I swear never more to trouble the Government or my country." It was this bitter onslaught upon tbe preten sions and intrigues of Montpensier that pro voked the fatal encounter of last Saturday. From every point of view the affair was most unfortunate for troubled Spain, which loses in Don Enrique a man who, as. General Prim has said, had "always beeu an exception to the Bourbons." Count do niontnlembert. By tho cable we have the announcement of the death of one of tho most distinguished Frenchmen of the day, Charles Forbes de Tyron, Count de Montalenibcrt. This eminent author and statesman was born on ths 29th of May, 1810, in London, where his grandfather and father had residod since the breakiug out of the French revolution. After the downfall of Na poleon aud the restoration ef the Bourbon dynasty, his father, who had served as an officer in the English army, returned to Franco, was created a peer by Louis XVIII, and died in 1830. The son was educated at the University, and when about nineteen years of age he published a work on Sweden, which brought him into notice as a litterateur. On the death of his father he took his seat in the Chamber of Peers, where he advocated ultramontane and legitimist principles. Previous to this he had been an associate with Lamennais and Lacordaire in tbe management of L'Avenir, and the influences which these distinguished men exerted on his mind were perceptible during the whole of his career. In connection with Lacordaire and De Coux, he founded a free Catholic school In Paris in lSiU, which was closed by the police, and the directors arraigned before one of the inferior couits. Montalembert, however, pleaded his privileges as a peer, and had the case transferred to the Court of Peers, before which he delivered an eloquent speech in defense of himself and his associates, which, however, did not prevent his condemnation and sentence to pay a fine of 1000 francs. In 1SS0 he published a legendary "Life of St. Elizabeth," one of the results of his close study of tbe history and religious ideas of the Middle Ages. In 1843 he offered in the Houso of Peers a bill for the organization of secondary schools, on the ground that the Church had a right to perfect freedom lu matters of education, and in 1843 ho published his "Manifesto Catho llque'" on the occasion of tho debate on the re lations of the Church and State, which caused him to be recogni.ed as the leader of tho Cuthollc party. Iu 1848 he caused a memorial service to be held In the Cathedral of Notre Dame in honor of Daniel O'Connell; and ou the breaking out of the rebellion in the same year he uunounced himself as a republican, and was elected a member of the Constituent Assembly. Here he sided with tho moderates and was bit terly opposed by such men as Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc, by whom he was denounced as an accomplice of Louis Napoleon ibis was not tho case, however; and even after the coup d'etat he was determined in his opposition to the arbitrary measures of the adventurer, and having obtained a seat ia the legislative body, he was for some time almost alone In protesting against the despotic acts by which tne empire was lnan juratea. Ija 1853 he was elected a member of the French Academy, and in 1854 he was prosecuted by the Govern ment on account of the publication of a lottor to M. Dupin in the Belgian journals. It was shown that the publication was unauthorized, and Mon talembert was acquitted. In 1850 he published a work on "The Political Future of England," and in the same year appeared his pamphlet entltlod "Plux IX and Lord Palmerston." In October, 1858, an article from his pen on "The Indian Debate" appeared in the Corre spondant, which highly offended the Gov ernment on account of the comparisons that were made between the liberties of England and Franco. For this he was prose cuted and sentenced to a fine of 6000 francs aud an imprisonment of six months. The penalty, however was reduced by a higher court aud aftowards entirely remitted by the Emperor, ne was again prosecuted in 1859 for u i tide ou ihu'pofie ot Uiu Hunmu? trim to- pnrd to the Papal States, but ultimately tho Government concluded not to push tho matter to extremity, and the prosecution was aban doned. n 18(4 Montalenbeit took string grounds against tho encyclical letter of tho Pope, and he propounded tho question, which the Vatican authorities have hitherto been unable to answer, "Is It possible for mo to remain in loyal allegiance to my sovereign aud to remain In loyal allegiance to my spiritual sovereign tbe Pope?" Since this he has been the acknowledged leader of the Liberal CnUiolic party In France, and he has written much In the journals to prove the impolley of the encyclical letter and the (Ecumenical Council. In addition to I ho works Mentioned above, he was the author of a great number of others on religious, po'Itical, and historical subjects, and ho has contributed largely to tbe Revue des Deux Mondes and the Encyclopedie Catholique. At tho time of his death he was engaged In a work cu titled "Les Moines d'Occldent depuls Salut Benolt jueqti'a Saint Bernard," which was to have been completed in six volumes, the two first of which were Issued In Paris In 1800.
