' TII I. NEW CONSTITUTION.
.The proposed change in; the . or
ganic law of • the Commonwealth
should elicit -the mo'st careful scrutiny
of every voter. The doeument should
not be 'viewed in a parti6n light, but
each citi en should .peruse it vtith a
view to determining whether the
neiv is b tter than the old. This, we
-(1olubt - n i ot, most of °or readers have
done. It seems to us that 'every un-
I .
prejudic d mind must admit that,
with all is fault.% the constitution to
be- vote upon on the nth of De
cember is far superior in . giany. es
sential oints to the old one. Those
sectionswhich appear cbjpetionable
'can easi ybe altered or amended,' if
experie4ce proves the objections
well founded. , , ' 1

poses of the repekt which has been

as to give the legislatiire to the dem

The Senate is o be composed of fifty mem.:
berg, and atountymust', have fonr-fiftlis of al
ratio to be entitled to a senator, except wuere
the surrounding counties are entitled to one or
more senators. This exception was pat in to
meet a simple case---DelaWare being surround
ed by_counties entitled to One or mere senators.
The ratio for iris is 7p,430... A.s this will in
come a direet districting of the S'ate by the
i
Legislature, we presume no tear is felt as re-1
gards the Senate. As to; the House it is to bei
composed cif two ;hundred . members. Each.
county is to have at leisit ono member.' and
those counties having a population exceeding a
ratio by one-half shall be entitled to one add l .;
Una' member for such excess, except where a'
county has fire members or more, when they
shall have one for every full ratio. The motive
of c ,nrSe, hi to prevent large cities from over-i
balancing, the country. Put this aside, and the
question 'remains-:-what is the effect of thb/

I Yonx,l Nov. 21.
A special from Madrid says the
;relations.of the -United Mates and
§pain are as:serious as possible, and
the diplomatic i cotnßlication here; is
,Peculiarly grave, involiing - 'sbarp
'words, and flagrant misunderstanding
bekween Minister Sickles and thed
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs,
with permptery demandsrrom Wash
iington that will almost necessarily
ilead to war. '
I Upon receipt of iutellience of th is
capture of the Virginias,' Senor Cas
teriar called at the United State- Le
gation and expressed regret at the
occurrence, and informe d our Minis
ter that orders had been Ina ! out fdr
the suspinsion of whateyer Sentence
might be pronounced on the Captives.
Sab'seßuently, at 2, a.m.,pen. Sickles
reCOived a dispatch from Secretary
Fish,informing him of tbe execution,
add he sent a note demanding that
thee order of which he tiad been in
formedfor the suspension ; ''of. sen
tence should be enforced, and the
Spanish Minister of 'Foreign 'Affairs
in answer expressed hfis dodbts of
the accuracy of the information; and
intimated that' Sickles' action ivas
unauthorized; thereupon Sickles, in
the name of the United States gov
ernment, addressed to the :Minister
of Foreig n Affairs•a formal protest
against the inhuman butchery and
against the insult to I the; United
State - s flag, demanding that Spain
should enforce olieclience to her or
dem' in Cuba, insisting Upon the
right. of every, Americau to regular
trial milder the
..treatylof 170 G, and
complaining that the United, States
Consul at S antiago de Cuba was
vented from using the I telegraph for
communication - with his government.
To this caret) the Spanish answer,
that the matters in 'dispute were
wholly municipal. and in the discre
tion' of the Spanish authorities; that
the persons captured on the Virgin
ias were pirates; land that. Spain
could not tolerate any interference of
the United States in her municipal
aaairs. An interview was, subse
,e
, quiently called for and granted; at
which icltles again ; demanded that
the • orders of the. Spanish govern
ment suspending execution's in Cuba
should be enforced. '
i - '
The -Minister of • Foreian, Affairs
haughtily desliued to permit the rep= 7
resentative_Of the united :States to
discu=s the municipal ritritira of Cuba.
The interview terminated angrily,
Gen. Sickles intimating that, only
btrictl,y offteieis.l - lations with the
cabinet
.wonld bs pdssible On his part
in the future. '
The, following are said ;to be the
points of a peremptory deMand
rented by our government- tip the
,
Spanish Cabinet:
First, The formal delivery of, the ,
Virginias to. officers of onr govern
ment in a port, of tlre'United Statrs.
Second, The release ana iestortt
tion to our protection: of Ole surviv
ing captives. • •
. A. money indennitty to . the
heirs of ii.ll taken on hoard tile Vir
rrinins and put to death. •
Fourth,. The trial' and punishment
of General liurriel and all other .
re
sponsibleoflicer.. .
Fifth ; The iinniediate awl uacon
,ditional abolition of slavery in Cuba,
, as the source of all pending difficul
ties and complaints. '
The Spanish objectiOns •to this
have been sent forward by the Amer
ican minister. The pabliC mind , is
exceedingly excited. The Spaniards
blame American:4lor. the Cuban insur
' rection, and declare that war with
the 'United .S'otes would be welcome.
Americans who know the: state of the
public. Mind, and knew' their own
country, do not 'see hoWtivar can be
avoided. •
. Spain will concede nothing, and
public opinion would prevent conces•
sion on the part of dasterlar, even if
he were disposed to make any.
,The
extreme Republicans here favor our
Views of the else; but defiance and
stubborn intolerance of any other
view than their own is . the general
tone All panisli iron-clads - not in
the hands of the Intransigentes have
been ordered to Cuba. •
WASiIINGTON, Nov. 21.=-Press dist
patches from Madrid announce the
insult 'to our Minister Created con
siderable feeling in official and of fifer
circles this morning, and intensified
the war feeling pervading all classes
here..
Secretary. Fish has advices r :frora
ilinister 4ickles relative to the, de-
monstrations against hitn which, the
Secretary says show that the press
d!spatches, while not wholly ground
less, are, somewhat exaggerated. •The
Secretary has 'just laid before the
President the latest intelligence from
The Cabinet met this noon with
'all the members present, Rolioson
having returned this morning. "
Iris reported that General Sher
man-left here last - night, on a tour of
inspection of thelortitications of the
Gulf and Atlantic coast;
LATER.—Farther dispatcheS from

to assassinate Gen. Sickles; and- that
he was wounded. Toereport is not.

outside of these it is cieditedi , •
Further diiratelies ire momenta
rily expected from Sickles and looked
for with great anxiety.:4 large iintu
ber of naval orders were:issued to-day.
The Madrid auth(lities have beeu
taking precautionary measures to
preventinsult to the American Min-
Ester by the mob.
