The struggle at hand in American jsilities is a struggle for tile preserva tion of the constitutional Republic. Shall the Aiuerieati principle remain? Shall the Democratic idea continue? Shall the simple, farmer Republic last? All "other questions arc less than these in the politics of the next twelvemonth. The Democratic prin ciple has a large majority of the peo ple of this country as its adherents. Local self-government, home rule, ex alting the individual, keeping the Government rather than men in sub jection —this is the American princi ple. For this the light is to he made in the year ahead of us. The peril of a one-man jiower overhangs the Re public. In this great, free nation there is a demand for a "strong man," a man stronger than the Constitution. When that demand i- endorsed by an emphatic majority of the voters of the Fnited States the end of the Republic is at hand. The growing power of corporations, the growth of the power of great cities, the alarming tendency toward the centralization of power in Washington, are dangers to the Re public. There must he a union of all its friends to save it from these perils. Men who three or four years ago were shocked at the suggestion that one man should be President of this Re public twelve years now surround tin silent man as he marches across the continent and hail his candidacy for a third term as a lovely tiling. There is a longing for a Government, not within the Constitution, hut outside ot ami beyond it —for a man and a Gov ernment "stronger" than the Consti tution. This longing i- an enemy ot the Republic and a to*- of free govern ment on this continent. It i- to this danger, or these dangers, that the ef forts of the friends of the Republic must he unitedly addressed. The ex istence of the Republic a- it was is the great end. And we will not b< lieve that the American devotion to the American principle has been extin guished. The same impulses that sent so many thousands of men into tin war for the protection of the I uion under the Constitution will iuqicl men to cling to the Constitutional Republic in time of |K-ace. The Democratic party has been the traditional party of discipline. Since the beginning of the century the Dem ocratic devotion has ht-en Fifty and admirable. That discipline lias ap parently relaxed somewhat within a few years. For nearly twenty years the Republican party has held tlx s|s>ils ; ami spoils, to a great extent, make discipline. The Democracy co longer have an unorganized or a disor ganized foe to contend against; hut, on the contrary, a party with all the machinery of government, with all the patronage ; a party audacious, unscru pulous, and terribly resolute. The taking of the current Presidency by the Republican party was a wound in flicted upon tree government, not so much because one man rather than another was placed in the White Mouse, but because the methods by which a party took power were such as to diminish res|K-ct for Republican or Democratic institutions. The love for the simple Republic is diminished. The respect for the constitutional powers is growing less. The Demo eratic principle, the American idea, is weakened in the affection of Ameri cana. The holders of political |>ower have, in order to retain power, so in flamed sectional passion that there is almost a willingness to abandon the Republic. The tendency is certainly and painfullv in that direction. The duty of the Democracy in this hour is to preserve the Republic. The drift is dangerous. Whigs nnd Republi cans in the South have been driven by Republican misrule, by carpet-bag rule, by ignorant, negro misgovern ment into the Democratic party. Re publican misconduct in theHouth has consolidated the South, mid now the South is blamed for being solid, and not only the South, but the Democrat ic partv North is blamed most out rageously because Republicans have made the South "solid." Out of all this grows the peril of the Republic, to the fundamental ideas of free gov ernment in this country. Sectional hatred, even after secession nnd slave ry are forever buried, mny crush out the devotion to the Republic. The Southern States would divide jK.liti eally, as they were divided throughout our history till 1*(>0, with the removal of the temjrorary causa* for their solid ity. The Southern representation in Congress is made up chiefly of Whigs, not of original Democrats. When the spoilholdcrt* of the Republican party will permit the sentiment of union to rise above the spirit of sec tionalism one-third of the Southern States will be debatable ground lie tween the Democratic and Republican parties. The Republican fear seems to lie that the Northern Slab's can only be carried for the Republican party by penetrating sectionalism. They must continue to light the late war. The duty of the Democracy from thin day till the next Presidency in determined, and thereafter will lie to I secure united effort for the muinten nnce of the republic. There have been divisions in the Democrutic ranks ; they must end. Personal am bition must sink. The Fust and West must join. There must be concessions, harmony. The treatment of the black man in the South must be fair and equul. The representatives of the South, by silence or by temperate ex pression, must earn the con'tidence of the independent Northern vote. They must make sitecial ctlort to do tliis, because they know that a Republican microscope is fixed upon everything they say and do. The tendency of the Hepublicau party is become uuti-Uc puhlican, perilously so. The unjust cry is, "Hotter a Monarchy than a Solid South and the silent soldier walks stately from the Pacific to the Atlantic while the name of a third term is sweet in the mouths of men, ami a third nomination for the Presi dency only waits his acceptance. The Democratic duty is prudent, united effort. The DemocraticCongressmust he moderate, and must not demand what the world now knows it cannot yet. The extra session fixed the bound ary lines. The Republican President cannot refuse to grant again what he has granted once; the Congress should not demand again what it hns been once, or more than once, refused. The prime mission is the salvation of the Republic from the tendencies that mean its destruction. The future of the Democracy thus lies in the path of the maintenance of free government, of Democracy. ls-t not sectionalism or centralism rise above Republi canism. t'iichtiinr Joe Hooker on (.rant ami Sherman. • The death of (int. Hooker recalls the fact that the San Francisco Herald of May 'J-t, 1*72, contained an inter view with thetieneral which raised a great breeze in army circles at the time. The follow ing are specimen pas sages : Reporter—Had the ('hancellorville campaign been successful there would have been a different history of the last |K'riol of the war. (ieneral I looker —It I had won that battle(iencral (irant would never have been brought from the West. Hut I wouldn't exchange places with him to day. I wouldn't turn over in bed for the Prc-ideney. Reporter—l suppose you have no very excellent reasons for being par tial to (irant ? General Hooker with considerable vim -(irant has got no more moral sense than a dog. His treatment of me after the battles of Lookout Moun tain and Ringgold proved that. When the 11 th and 12th Corp- were consoli dated after the liattle of Gettysburg, and transferred to the West, under the name of the 20th Corps, and placed under my command, every crescent the badge which distinguish**! the llthCorp- >di-nppeared,and tin- 12th Inwnmc the emblem. (ieneral Thomas took me by the hand, but Grant and Sherman, who were in partnership, gave roe the cold shoulder. I wa- big enough to take care of myself, and didn't care; but 1 did care for my men. Reporter—Were you treated fairly? G*-n. Hooker—Here is an instauce: 1 got a letter from Sherman ordering m- to pursue the enemy, hut not to tight him. 1 wrote him that I thought it was a good deal like the woman who gave her hoy permission to go n fish ing, with the express jtermission that he must not go ix-ar the water. Peo ple called Sherman crazy during the early part of the war. It was prema ture; if they had waited until he sur rendered every issue of the war to Johnston they would have bit the nail on the head. Reporter—l should have thought the victory at Lookout Mountain would have had a mollifying effect on them. General Hooker —Well, it was no part of the original plan. Sherman has .commenced the fight on the river, and been worsted. The Ixtokout af fair was unexpected. As Thomas af terwards said, the operations at Chat tanooga were planner! one way and (ought another. Thnt's what (irant sent Thomas out here for. It was for saying that. R.-|sirt* r —Curl Shurz seems to have been player! out as a General toward the lat? General Hooker —Tlx- first bullet at Wauhatchie turned his brain. 1 rode up to him and said : "I cannot afford to |K-ril a whole commartd just Ix-cause one man is (lurried. you, what's tlx- matter with you ?" Reporter—You removed him? (ieneral 1 looker—Yes, on tlx-sprit. You can't sacrifice troops, you know, for one man, no matter how high his rank. The cause was too sacred to be thus trifled with. Reporter—He's a Greeley man, is he not? General Hooker —Vcc, and that in all right enough. Hchunt in n good talker, and that in all there in of him. Talk about hin commanding the tier man vote ! The idea of a public man having influence with people who know be can't ntand fire! Nonnenne. Reporter—l mippone (irant under ntandn your ponition toward him well enough ? General Hooker—He undemtandn it perfectly, .hint an I left New York to attend the military meeting at Cleveland, he sent IngalU to me to know how I would receive him there.

The Republican masse* of the North appear to regard Southern solidity a* indicative of the totally depraved condition of the Southern whites, when, in fact, it simply shows that they are more fit to claim a cm- ( moti lineage and share a common des tiny with their brethren of the North. We undertake to say in truth and sol id ness, and not only to say, but to show so clearly and forcibly a* to con vince any honest, unprejudiced mind, that the wbile people of the South were driven into their present political uni ty bv forces of Northern Republican origin, and such forces as could not po—ibv have produced any other ci ted without a sii-pt iifiou of natural law*. There can be no honest, intelli. gent man in any portion of the North who, if he will calmly review the fact* in the case, and will judge others by himself, will not admit that the solidi fication of' Southern brains, manhood, character, social influence and pros perity was a simple and unavoidable act of obedience to the first law of nn .tur< —the fiat of the Creator.

No people worthy of liber ty could have done otherwise. There is nothing in modern history of civil ized nations more cruel than the wrongs inflicted on the South during the era of outrage and crime, of whole sale plunder ami measureless insult— nothing that surpasses it, except the storv of Poland.

"Yen, but an advance at that time meant a horrible death for Mrs. Meeker ami the other wornefl and children who bad fallen into the hand* of the Indians, in the light of sub sequent events no one can question the wisdom of this policy. It must also be remembered that the Quaker policy, as it is called, of dealing with the Indians is the policy which was in force in the Interior Department when the present Secretary entered upon hi* duties, and he bus but carried out the provisions of the existing law. The whole Indian policy, including the rule requiring applicants for Indian agencies to procure the approval of some church synod or council, was inaugurated by General Grant, who gave it hi* personal attention ami full approval. Attempt* to govern the Indian* by those method* have failed miserably in inanv eases ; but it is ab surd to lay the blame upon President Grant, who with great and varied ex perience in dealing with tin- Indians devised what seemed to be the best method of governing them, or upon Seeretarv Seburz, who ha* faithfully and intelligently followed these meth ods. Their failure i |* rha|w due in a great degree to the js.liey of the Gov ernmeiit which permits tin- Indians to carry arms. In my opinion, Indians who are willing to work should Ik fed; Indians too lazy to work should have no rations issued to them, and none of them should be |>ermitted to own or 11 se firearms, i think, too, that Indians should be brought a mtieli a- possible within the jurisdiction of the federal court*.

Three state car riage- drawn by white horses were sent to the Imperial Hotel to convey tho Duke and the members of the commis sion. In the first rode the Spanish Military \tlschc*. Major Itiaza wearing the uniform of the officers of the King * escort; 'apt. tpieaada, of the Pavia Huaaars, and Lieut. Angulo. In the a.©<,hd were the Secretaries of Embassy, M.

His Majesty was standing alone in the audience saloon in full uniform, ami wearing the Golden Fleece, with the Cordon and Badge of Charles HI. Ihe Duke of Bailen made a short speech in French, and then presented his credentials and an Autograph letter from Allonso XII. The Kmjeror grant ed the request for the hand of the Arch duchess, after members of the mission were presented to him by the Knvoy. This part of the ceremony concluded, the I Hike passes! unaccompanied into . an adjoining room, where he found tho Archduchess and her mother, and prof fered his demand to the young Princess, which met with acceptance. Then, in accordance with Spanish usage, the I'uke offered the Archduchess a jewel on the part of his royal master. Tho future of Spain wore a pink satin dress, liitnmod with lace and real flowers iyul a magnificent diadem of precious stones. Her mother was dress ed in mauve satin, with lace flounces, and had a superb river of diamonds round her neck. The Archduchess Elisabeth and her daughter both worn the Cordon of the Noble Ladies of the Order of Maria Ixvuisa. After the audience, during which the j I iff Secretary, M.

The Ambassador returned to his hotel at four. All along the line follow ed by the cortege a considerable crowd assembled, as well as in front of the ho- , tel and palace, and on every side the greatest admiration was expressed at the noble bearing and splendid uniform of the Spanish nfflcera.
