THE VACANT SrANISII THRONE.
From tht K. T. World.
It bas been promised tbat with the flowers
of Hay should come the election or the selec
tion of a king of Spain. It is permissible to
believe that lh flowsrs of May may give
place to the fruits of June, and that these in
their turn may wither beneath the frosty
blasts tf November, ere this promise is re
deemed; but it is certainly true that the time
baa arrived when the Spanish people may in
sist upon a settlement of some kind, ao that
they may know whether they are to live
under a monarchy or a republic. The people
who got up the revolution which expelled
Isabella declared at the outset that their pur
pose was to establish a constitutional mon
archy with a sovereign who should merit the
confidence of the nation. Partisan intrigues
and personal jealousies, however, made it
impossible to place on the throne the prince
whom the revolutionists had agreed to sup
port; and the country has been annoyed by
attempts to impoie other candidates, and by
schemes for the establishment of a republic
or a dictatorship. As a make-shift, the
regency was set up the anomaly of
having a regent who could not point out
the infant sovereign in whose name he
reigned being pardoned in consideration of
the understanding that the regency was
nothing more than a provisional measure,
which should give way as soon as the
monarch could be chosen. The Cortos and
the regent were to choose the king, and,
although up to this time they have failed to
make their choice, it has now become plain
that this state of things cannot be much
longer endured. Serrano has apprised
Marshal Trim that -he -is more than
anxious to get rid of the unenviable
distinction of the regency; the Cortes
and the country are ' desirous of having
the business settled; and as it has long
ceased to be a secret that the candidate
named by Prim will be the successful one,
and that no rival has any chance at all, it is
all important to determine which of the three
possible aspirants to the throne he is likely
to came as the choice of himself and his
Earty. These three possible candidates are
arshal Espartero, the Prince of the Asturias,
and the Duke do Montpensier. Without as
scribing to Prim an undue share of ambition,
it may be admitted that at one time he in
dulged in dreams wherein he saw himself upon
the throne; jbut he has of late abandoned these
fancies, and has deolared, in terms that banish
all doubt, that he repudiates all intention of
aspiring to kingly dignities. lie is content
to be aking-maker instead of a king. But it
eeents certain that in his' king-making he
must choose one of the three candidates we
have named; and it is not very difficult to
determine which of the three he is mast likely
to select. Espartero is seventy-nine years
eld. He has no son. If placed on the throne
his death, which must soon occur, would
leave the country in the same dilemma in
which it now finds itself. If the son of Isa
bella were selected as the king, the exiled
and deposed Queen would reign again in
the person of her child, the republicans
would be exasperated, and even a large sec
tion of Prim a own party, the progresistas,
wsuld be discontented. There remains the
Duke de Montpensier; and. on the whole, to
choose him would seem to be the best thing
that oould be done. He may be said to have
shot himself into popularity; his late duel
has been a substantial advantage to him;
although he is a Frenchman by birth, he is a
Spaniard by choioe and in feeling; he is popu
lar with the army; he has arrived at an age
when the capabilities of a man are most
mature: and he might soon make himself
beloved by the majority of the people. The
only trouble in the way is that Montpensier'a
party has hitherto been in opposition to Prim;
and the latter, in consenting to the Duke's
elevation to the throne, would give a triumph
to his opponents. But, nevertheless, the
chances now seem to be that Montpensier is
to become the king, and that, too, ere very
long.
JURIES AND PERJURIES.
From tht N. Y. Independent.
Erskine said that the grand result of the
Etrugcle for constitutional liberty in England.
from Magna Charta downwards, was to put
twelve men into a box. And when he was
made a peer and lord chancellor he took for
th mnt to of his arms "Trial bv Jurv." There
is no doubt of the safeguard which this vene
rable institution has been to liberty in Eng
land and in America. The tnal of the seven
bishops and their acquittal was a main imme
diate occasion of the Revolution of 1088, and
form one of the great monuments and land.
marks of constitutional liberty. The acquit
tal of Hardy. Home Tooke, and Shelwall at
the time of Pitt's Reign of Terror, in 1794,
in which Erskine bore so noble a part, and
that of Hone, in 1817, which is believed to
have broken Lord Ellenborough's heart, are
all memorable epochs ' in the history of
liberty. They compelled a more deeent ad
ministration of criminal justice in political
trials, and did much to educate tne .nglisn
mind up to the Reform bill and the cognate
reforms which have flowed from it. And in
this country it was only the trial by jury that
stood between the rage of slavery and pro
slavery power in the cases of the Boston and
bvraoose rescuers.
Whether Erskine would have thought the
virtue of his grand specific, if he had lived to
this day and in tnis country, as miauibie as
whan he inscribed it on his arms, may be
doubted. : The twelve men seem to be put in
the box here often to secure by perjury the
privilege of murder, in case any popular ex
itement can be aroused for the murderer,
They appear to consider themselves superior
to all laws, Human and divine, ana to be enti
tied to decide on the quality of facts and not
merely on the occurrence of the facts.
Nothing can be more destructive of social
and political morality than such a frightful
violation of faith, lhe only question for a
jury ' to decide in a case of murder, and
which they swear to deeide according to
the law and the evidence, is whether the
man accused of the homicide did commit
it and did mean to commit it. They have
nothing to do with the consequences which
may follow their conviction, nor with the
palliating circumstances which may extenuate
the act. Those responsibilities fall on another
department of the Government, equally
bound bv oath to see to them. In all the
notorious and disgraceful cases which have
dishonored the administration or Amerioan
instice. the iuries have only perjured them
selves mainly through the external pressure
Lroucht to bear npon them. The first oase
tbat we recollect was that of a young Phila-
delnhian. who murdered the seducer ol ins
aibter in cold blood. There was no denial f
the facts, but the jury decided that it was a
CURB of justifiable homicide, la the teeth of
law and of common sense. It was a oase for
compassion, and perhaps for recommendation
to executive clemency, but not for aoquittal.
So in the case of Sickles, at Washington of
Cole, at Albany the murder was brought
home to the assassins by undisputed evi
dence; but the jury, in violation of their oaths
to God and their duty to society, made them
selves the judges of the provocation, and ac
quitted the murderers. Surely, these facts
show a terrible want of conscientiousness and
of a sense of duty as citizens.
lhe disgraceful case which disgusted even
the palled palate of New York through so
many days is the newest proof of the degene
ration of juries. And we might well add of
judges and of the bar. Twelve men were put
into a box to decide whether one man killed
another intentionally. There never was a
ckarer case. The premeditation and lying
in wait aDd act of killing were conclusively
proved. The theory of defense was insanity,
'lhe only things for the jury to consider were
whether the prisoner committed the homi
cide, and, if yea, whether he was insane at
the time. The evidence of insanity was so
abhuidly weak that no real weight was placed
upon it; but the whole eflort of the defense
was put forth to excite the compassion of the
jury for the culprit, aud their prejudice
against his victim.. There were but two ver
dicts that the jury could have rendered with
out (perjury: "Guilty," or "Not guilty by
reason of insanity, lhe pressure from with
out deterred them from the first, and a sense
of ridicule from the last; and so they brought
in the only verdict which men regardful of
their oaths could not have rendered, and the
murderer was turned loose npon society.
Ibis is a shocking state of things, for
which there is no remedy but the elevation of
public morality. The pulpit and the reli
gious press at least owe a solemn duty to
society in this behalf, and they should not
cease to uplift their voices against the emit
of perjury, even when protected by legal
privilege, when used to excuse murder. If
the religious public would do its duty in this
regard we might hope that this latest outrage
against justice would be the last, or, at
least, that the perjury that caused it may bo
branded with the infamy it deserves.
THE MORAL OF THE DEMOCRATIC
VICTORY.
Fvm the X. Y. Times.
It is only natural that the World should
look at the result of the State and city
election through its own spectacles. It sees
things through the medium of colored glass.
It finds in the vote a perfect confirmation of
the policy which led it long ago to repudiate
Pendleton as a financier, and to discard Frank
Blair as a candidate for the Vice-Presidency:
It discerns in Tuesday's triumph the fruit of
"wisdom and moderation," as exemplified in
the alleged withdrawal of resistance to the
fifteenth amendment; in the selection of can
didates having an "unobjectionable war
record;" and in a supposititious determination
to be guided by "justice, probity, and finan
cial honor" in the treatment of the national
debt. And the World commends this moral
of the contest to the Democracy of other
States.
All this is an excusable attempt on the part
of a journal w hich, in many respects, is above
its party, to render a service to that party by
elevating it to its own plane. There is, too,
this obvious basts for the World s arguments
the ticket nominated at Rochester was so
far ahead of the average Democratic nomina
tions, in personal character and professional
responsibility, that it really looked like the
beginning of reform. But here the hopeful
indications end. The credit won by the De
mocracy at Rochester was annulled by the
great body of the Democratic nominations in
.New York. V hat the btate ticket did towards
investing the party with respectability was
undone by the action of other organizations
in this city. Locally speaking, there was
neither wisdom nor moderation there was
only partisanship, reckless and defiant as
ever. IN or, apart Irom the Rochester nomi
nations, can it be truly said that the party in
the State has yet taken a Eingle forward step.
So far from acquiescing in the fifteenth
amendment, as the 'World asserts, the Demo
cratic majority in the Legislature signalized
the opening of the session by a wanton dis
play of their hostility to that measure. In
stead of conciliating the colored vote, they
adopted the most effectual means of throwing
it, irrevocably, into the Republican scale.
We are unable, therefore, to accept the
World's interpretation of Tuesday's election,
That event has no significance whatever as a
revelation of an amended policy on the part
of the New York Democracy, lhe policy of
the party has undergone ne change. And
the agencies it relies upon for the attainment
of its ends are, as Tuesday's experience
proves, precisely those on which it has here
tofore relied lor victory, "lhe majority is
indeed large,' declares the World, which then
explains the fact by the remark that it "is
quite as much owing to the apathy of the
Republicans as to the zeal of the Democrats,
We cannot suppose that the world means
what it says. It knows better. Undoubtedly,
Republican apathy contributed not a little to
the result. But Democratic frauds contributed
much more. Fraud in voting fraud in
counting; fraud of the most shameless nature
in this city, as everybody with his eyes open
mu6t have seen The consequence is, indeed,
a Democratio "triumph," but a triumph of
the order common in New York not one
that admits of the lofty moral construction
w hich the ingenious writer in the World puts
urion it. e have learned that the metamor
pilosis of Democracy took place in the imagi
nation only: on election day the old temper
reappears, and the old weapons win in the
fight. That is the real lesson of the hour,
and our contemporary in its optimism over
looks it altogether.
In what the World says respecting the
condition of the Republican party iu the
State, and especially in this city, there is un
fortunately some truth. "Disorganization"
is not too strong a term to apply to that con-,
dition. Its management needs more brams,
more judgment, and, above all, more prin
ciple. A more energetic partisanship must
be allied to a broader, more generous, and
more judicious purpose, or the apathy which
operated so disastrously last Tuesday will
reappear in the fall. The State must be
redeemed by wise and honest leadership and
timely and honest organization, if it is to be
redeemed at an.
A CLERICAL BREACH OF PROMISE
CASE.
fVetit tU S. Y. Sun.
The United Presbyterian Church seems to
be unlucky in its ministers. The presbytery of
this city has recently naa to censure tne Rev.
Charles B. Bmythe for drinking gin and milk
on Bunday without asking a blessing on the
refreshment, and now the Presbytery of Alle
cbenv has found the Rev. J. 13. Clark, D. D..
guilty of breaking off a marriage engagement
for no better cause than that he faucied the
young lady to whom he bad plighted bis faith
to be of unsound mind. Of the two, we think
Mr. Bmythe was the lesser ottendi-r. Omitting
crace before pin and milk was certainly highly
improper in a clergyman; but deceiving the
hopes of an innooent damsel, as Dr. Clark did,
is a much worse sis.
The evidence taken in Dr. Clark's case
shows that he does not pretend that his quon
dam sweetheart was really demented. All he
maintains 1b that so many people had told
him she was liable to beoome insane as to
cause him great distress and agony of miad.
She had, besides, on one occasion, in her joy
at the prospect of her speedy marriage, be
haved in such an excited manner as to alarm
him; and, like Othello, he was led to build
upon this little basis of fact a towering
fabric of suspicion and distrust. In a fort
night or so, however, his fears had been dis
pelled, and he renewed his vows of love and
constancy. But again mischief-makers got
hold of him, and this time succeeded in
bringing about a final rupture. The presby
tery very properly decided that this sort of
thing would never do, and they have oome
down upon the Doctor accordingly.
. The truth is, that if the conduct of women
engaged to be married is to be tried by any
rigorous test, few of them would pass mus
ter as sound im the head. Is there a man liv
ing so conceited as to suppose that any
woman would marry him if she had all her
senses about her ? If it were not for the
lunacy of the dear creatures, would they ever
think of entangling themselves in the matri
monial noose ? A sort of delusion comes
over them that the men they aocept are
heroes, or when they are clergymen that they
are saints, though their friends see very
plainly that they are only very oommon kind
of fellows. Then, too, they are happy in a
very silly way over their approaohing sacri
fice, whereas, u they knew what was before
them they would rather betake themselves to
weeping. If, now, every lucky dog who has
profited by this temporary insanity is to be
allowed to uac out oi me scrape at qis plea
11 . J , A f J , L I 1
sure. Heaven knows what will beoome of
society.
Besides, clergymen owe it to themselves,
the community, the Church at large, and
their own particular flocks, to marry as
promptly as possible, and not go round phi'
landering with all the fluttering maidens they
mav chance to fall in with. Marry a hand
some, rich, and accomplished woman if pos
eible; but marry somebody, and put the rest
of your single admirers out ol suspense, it
is hard, to be sure, to cease to be that object
of supreme interest to the fair sex an eugt
ble clerical bachelor; but the pill must be
swallowed. Better to have one woman crazy
about you than a dozen; but after you have
made her crazy, then to cast her off ! fie!
for shame, Dr. Clark ! It you cannot trump
up any better excuse than that, you do not
deserve to be a minister. At all events, stay
out in the black coal smoke of Pittsburg. No
other atmosphere in this world can be so con
genial to your nature.
