A Bloodies, Revolution—The Mob be. have like a host of Angels -elm men , Government—A Grand Patriotic 4. 4- Oi o Iti ti on tot repponftence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.: Mariam Oct. 1, 1868.—A young Spanish friend who possesses in an eminent degree the virtues of a patriot—faith, hope and charity—told me wheu he shook hands at the close of the "glorious 2111," as last Tuesday is already called, that "all he wished was that the whole history of the revo lution might be written on so stainless a page as the one whigth contained the first chapter." Cer tainly no popular movement ever began under happier auspices, Madrid has been, for above twenty-four—now we may sayforty-eight hours —in the hands of a mob, and no excess, what ever, has been perpetrated. The people here ex press their wonder at the fact, and are Inex haustible in their praises of a nation which, even in the very act of recovering its sovereignty, ex hibits such undeniable symptoms of self control and temper, and already lays such lofty claims to a high rank among civilized communities. All this, however, simply shows Inexperience of the common phases of all revolutions. Bologna, Brussels and Warsaw, in 1831. Palermo, Milan, Berlin, and Vienna in 1818. have precisely the Same tales to tell, as Madrid, in 1868. For the first three days every "mob let loose" is sure to behave like a hest of angels, especially if such an incessan t downpour as we had for Info days keeps it within doors. In Madrid, as in other places, the placard at every street corner, threatening death to assassins, has been no idle threat, for more than one pick pocket has been shot; but with the exception of this rough and ready justice, the people of Mad rid have had for two nays no other employment than exultation at their own deliverance. But the task of governing must begin now; it must devolve upon somebody, and therein lies the great difficulty of the situation. Serrano and Prim are said to be within 92 English miles from the capital, and are expected this rooming. One of them, at least, will assume the supreme command, even If the other Be obliged to margin against Calonebe and Cheste,tho former of whom Is still at the head of a considerable force in the north, while the latter is eaid to have shut him self up in Montjuich,an almost impregnable fort ruse. from which he commands Barcelona, and de clares that he will neither take nor give quarter. One steady hand will be necessary to reorganize the ordinary force in Madrid,and to prevent from acing harm that extraordinary force, the City Militia, or National Guard, which here, as else where, is the inevitable offspring of revolution, and which it has always been found se difficalt to turn to any useful purpose. When public securi ty has been restored upon some serer basis than the self-esteem of a populace and the love of man to man. room will bemade for the institu tion of civil government. The Central Junta was not elected yesterday,as the Official Gazette had led us to expect, the crawler: up of electoral lists in so short a time having been found au impossi bility. Probably the election will be held to-day, but in the meanwhile we could not be In better hands than in those of the Provisional Junta, and it is extremely likely that the popular vote will have no other result than the continuance in of fice of the same men. The real. destinies of the country do not lie in the hands of the Madrid Jima, hut they can easily, and indeed must ne cessarily, be prepared by their. Those thirty gentleman who turned up in the hoar of need and went to wor k rather by mutual consent and understanding than by popular acclamation, will be: e In their hands the safety or the ruin of the Peninsula. Most of them are men of character and acknowledged ability: they belong to three different sections of political opinion: they are O'Donnellists, or Unionists, Progressists and De mocrata. They profess to have waived all party conside rations, and to be (used in one great patriotic as „,ciation, from which uo matt, except he be one et Naryacz ., Moderates, or one of Novaliche's New Catholics, need be excluded. This amalga tir,n of principles, hitherto antagonistic, and even openly hostile, may be very practicable in Spain, although it may be unintelligible elsewhere ; for here hitherto the conflict was not one of theoretic views, but simply of practical conclusions. Up tr, very recent times the problem was not who could crept govern Spain, but who could make the est of the Queen and her minions, so as to COUSLi tote the least unendurable misgovernment. t)'Dennell was the last man who made the experiment, in 18th. He broke down partly through his own want of temper, partly through the court's treachery and intrigue. He himself struck the first blow towards a reaction which culminated in the arbitrary meas ures of Gonzalez Bravo. What he proposed was a Liberal "Union” with the Queen, and either with soother Sovereign or without one. Tue Progressists,especially those of the Espartero and Prim school, were anti-dynastic, witnout know ing, or perhaps without avowing it; but there were other Progressists—those who had faith in Salustiana Olozaga, and the Democrats, who had in their hearts and even in open words broken with the dynasty forever. As the scattered mem bers of O'Donnell's party, Serrano, Dcdce x Co., have now learned in the Canary Islands that peace with the dynasty is not to be had on any terms, their coalition with those who have broken oat into o.en war with the dvnas is estr • • natural, and may be looked upon as sincere and durable. THE itEvoLurioN IN SPAIN. An Officer Promoted by the People The Madrid correspondent of the London Tints, describes the following scene: Among the political prisoners whom the first grateful and generous impulse of the victorious multitude rescued from durance was an officer of the army, by name Amable Escalante, who had lately _returned from _some_ of_ the_ transmarina provinces, and whom Marshal Coneha, in his la'te bungling attempt to terrorize, had caused to be arrested, with many others, about twenty four hours before the defeat of Novak ches at Alcolea hurled the last Bourbon Govern ment from office. Proud of its power to break prison doors no less than to storm palace ivin dowe, the mob lifted the freed captive on Its -boulders, bore him through the already gaudily decorated streets, cheering, or "eictoreando," as the expressive word is here, and, stopping before a military haber-dasher's shop, they - borrowed" a general's scarf, bound it round the liberated prisoner's loins, and, out of their own full autho rity promoted him then and there from the rank of a lieutenant-colonel, of which he still wore the stars and stripes on his coat, to that of an officer three or four degrees further up in the scale, of which the scarf was the badge. Some gentle and friendly remonstrances were made to Senor Escalante, with a view to induce himto _look .npoti Ids Promotion by accianagion in the light of a joke, but be fell back on his con ''-c••-nlent theories about poptitir se - vereig,nry, and made his promotion the very test of the reality of the change, to which every flag waving round bore witness—a change laying in the hands of a multitude the sceptre which dropped from the bands of a Monarch. Responsibility of the Clergy. The London Times says : The efforts of the last few years of Isabella's reign have hardly had any other object than killing the souls of her people. Reaction set in under the most defiant and repulsive aspect. The Queen was bent on making the Spaniards more Papistical than the Pope himelf. Tbe convents, suppressed by de crees which the Pope had sanctioned, were re stored one by one. The clause in the Concordat by which> a few out of the outrageous num ber of Saints' holydays bad, with the fall con sent of Rome, been struck off the Spanish calender, was, annulled at the earnest re quest of Queen Isabella, anxious abeve ell things to foster among her people those idle pro pensities which insured their degradation. Noth ing could be more absurd than the plea put for ward in defence of Father Claret, the Queen's confessor, that he "was a man of no brains, and PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1868. never meddled with politics." Barely, stupid as he may be said to have been, he had in his hands the keys of the Queen's conscience, •and with the Queen 'religion, and polities were so close ly , connected - Mitt, her spiritual director must needs to be her real Prime Minister. The Queen was only ,busy with the care of wedding her soul" at the expense of her subjects, and to obtain the Pope's absolution she used her confessor as an ambassador, and disavowed at Rome the policy to which O'Don nell had in her name bound himself at Florence.. Father Claret was no politician. for sooth; neither 'were the Archbishops of Toledo and Burgos, nor any of the other Prelates for whose suspension from office the Madrid press is now already calling out so loudly; but life in Spain is so intimately bound up with the abject and grovelling superstition which those reverend gentlemen enforced that that the kingdom might be said to be ruled rather from home than Madrid. What ever issue all other questions may have, there is no doubt that in this country, as in Italy, the priest hood will have to go through a very hard fight for existence; and, if it turn out that they are not only worsted, but also wronged in the struggle, it will be well to remember that little was the mercy and forbearance they ever showed to their adversaries, and that the inefficiency of the meas ures adopted against them on former occasions has established the necessity for more stringent provisions at the present opportunity. Influence of Events. Upon Napoleon. The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mull Ga zette writes. It appears that the events passing in Spain will not cause the Emperor to shorten his stay at Biarritz. The day before yesterday lie received an aide-de-camp sent by Marshal Serrano. and many conjectures are formed as to what passed at this interview. It is remarked here that there has been a rise on all the Stock Exchanges In Europe since the Spanish revolution broke mit— a result which the pacific assurances of the French Emperor failed to produce.

The following is the text of the renunciation of the Infante Don Carlos of tne Spanish Throne, dated Paris. October 3, 1868: Having no ambition except for the welfare of Spain—that is to say. the prosperity of my be loved country at home and its prestige abroad —I consider it my duty to abdicate, and by these presents I do abdicate all my rights to the Crown of Spain in favor of my well-beloved son, Don Carlos de Bourbon and d'E,zte. .lr'A\ r,E Bourti:os wr DE BRAGANZ Eugenie's Mother and the New Flag. r rm) the Plink CO nstitntionnel. Oct. 10-1 The Iberia, of Madrid, has stated that one of the first revolutionary banners hoisted in Niadrid was displayed from the mansion belonging to the Countess Montijo, the mother of tue r,s. The explanation is very simple: the coun tess is in the country, and the revolutionary Junta of the quarter, having installed itself in the house, hung out its flag from the balcony. The Italians to the Revelutiottists. The Madrid Gazette, of October 7th, states that the Provisional Revolutionary Junta has received the congratulations of the Italians residing in the capital. That body in its reply says:. An oppor tunity having occurred for placing the two peo ples in contact, Italy may be assured that Spain mpathizes with her aspirations, while the Junta hopes that the Spanish nation will find in the Italian people a faithful friend of liberty. znallsla Nentralaty !From the Memorial Diplomathme, of Paris, Oct I A rumor has been in circulation that the Eng lish had interfered actively in Ka- Mid since the, fall of Qneen.Plabella,in favor of a princely candidate.' We believe we can state on the contrary, that from the first day Sir John Crampton, t he representative of England, re• ceived from Lord Stanley instructions to abstain wholly from any intervention in Spanish affairs.

Madrid, Oct. 4 Isabella's Favorite. A writer in the Paris Figaro relates how he. had the good fortune of traveling with 31. liar fort, who indignantly denied that Queen Isabella refused to return to Madrid without him. Mar fori attributed the revolution to exterior causes and to her Majesty's good -nature. The in:en- sembles, with his pear-shaped head, those carica tures of Louis Philippe so common here iu 1818: he wears spectacles, through which dash a pair of black Castilian eyes, he is bald, and has a thin nose, wide open nostrils,short leg- and small feet; there is the portrait of the noble gentleman at full length. The Queen, in order not to ember lass the policy of the Emperor, wished to go to the Grand Hotel at Pau, but his Majesty insisted that she should accept the chateau of her ances tors. The Queen accordingly made an entrance w th nearly ;s,4oo._pagliages,nastalling_herself in the principal wing on the first floor, which is splendidly furnished. Her Majesty refuses to be lieve in certain defectiont, and counts much on the love of the lower orders: she leads a secluded life, and the infants of Spain play,we are aisure-1, like any other children. Count Walowslti 9 s Estate. Within the last few days. says lalign,,,/,:'3 .1/ , ;- see:ler of the 15th inst., several papers have peen circulating a statement to the effect that Count Walewski left his heirs a large fortune. We nave reason to believe that the deceased statesman died in very moderate circumstances. It is true that the Emperor gave him a large estate in the Landes, but extensive works have to be carried out before the property, which has never brought anything, can supply his heirs with the legitimate income which the Emperor wished to secure to the honest man whose tenures of the highest positions were never turned_to.account to increase .his -for-tune- The hotel inthe Avenue Montahme is not by anv means the vast mansion that is represe,ntedi it is a small private house, very tastefully built at Count Walewskila own expense. As regards the two other estates, one is a small country house at St. Germain-en-Lave, the other a very modest chalet on the banks of the Lake of Geneva, near Evian. Robbery of_ is Bank In Hamilton. Out. [From the Hamilton (Ont.) Thnee, of Oct. hi.) Within a few days past the fact has reached the ears of the public, that an extensive robbery had been perpetrated at the Bank of Montreal, in this city, the matter having been kept quiet, pending the efforts - of the detectives to discover the direction the treasure had taken. As the occurence is new generally talked of, no harm can arise from • a simple statement of the facts as we learn them from good authority. It appears that about the Ist Instant, the officers of the bank discovered that a bag containing $5,000 in gold had been abstracted from the vault. No evidence appeared that a forcible entrance had been effected to the bank or vault, and the precise time of the robbery seems to be also.unliporru.

TERRITORY, Aug. 24, lei - i.e.—To James flowed, Esq., Lafrryelfe, Ind.:— DEAR SIR: I have received your letter, in which you ask me if I would endeavor to have the con stitutionality of the Reconstruction acts tested by tho Supreme Court before proceeding to treat them as null and void. In answer. I say that the vital principle of :he Reconstruction acts has al ready been decided to be unconstitutional, null and void, by the Supreme Court,the whole bench concurring, iu the case of Milligan and Bowles, which went from the State of Indiana on a writ of habeas corpus. In that case it was decided, in the plain lan guage of the Constitution, that the Goverument could not establish martial law in time of peace, or try a citizen by military commission or court martial. The reconstruction acts, so called, stand on martial law and nothing else. It is the essence of these acts They were prepared and put in ex- Mr. E. L.

Are those who dem.md the restoration of the trialby jury, which has been in the South by the Reconstruction acts, revolutionists? Are those who claim the benefit of the great writ of right, the habeas cor pus, which is denied to 8,000,000 of our people by the infamous Reconstruction acts, to be branded as revolutionists? Shall we be called revolutionists because we proclaim, in the very language of the Constitu tion, that Congress shall pass no bill of attainder or ex post facto law ? or shall we be thus branded for claiming what the Constitution concedes iu express words, that the States shall regulate suf frage for themselves? Do we want more decisions of the Supreme Court on these points ? The truth is that the Radicals are the real revolution ists, and have subverted the fundamental princi ple s of our Government, and converted it into a mean and malignant oligarchy, sure to lapse into a military despotism. To restore the Government and the great guar antees of freedom contained in the Constitution and ihherite - d from our ancestors,is"revolntion." To—execute—the•will—of-thes - --people-whom - the fragmentary rump Congress has pat at defiance, i- - revolution." To carry out the decisions of the Supreme Court is "revolution." This revo lution Is at hand. The people's will, the judg ment of the Court of the highest jurisdiction, will be enforced against a usurping ramp Con gress.

Sc3i'moues Stumping Tour. —The World, to-day, speaks as follows of Sey mour's intention to stump Pennsylvania : "Governor Seymour's coming actively into the canvass supplies a lacllng force which was needed to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Demo cratic hosts. Nobody who is acqurdnted with the powerful impression which frequently -at tends Governor Boymours speeches, can doubt that his.. speeches, in Pennsylyania will bo worth.' to the - cause a great deal more than the few thousand votes which sepa rate ns from victory in' that State. The interest of the canvass.has become so absorbing and in tense that every word he, utters will be eagerl.. read by the whole country. Daring the brief re mainder of the canvass the public mind will be cbittly occupied by him and his statesmanlike views. This is the one thing needful to insure a great Democratic triumph." AuTION OF SOUTHERN DERO CRATs. • An Sztraordinary Programme. —A despatch from Lexington, Kentucky, to the St. Louts Democrat says : "The Southern Hotel is the headquarters for political Head Centres. Many caucuses of South ern Democrats have assembled there during the last two days, for the purpose of suggesting some now course of party action. There is no doubt that the following is their programme : To counsel the withdrawal of all candidates and substitute none; to request the withdrawal of all Democratic representation from the leislative halls at Washington ; to recommend that Gen_ Grant be petitioned to do away with all Southern State Governments, thereby relieving them of onerous taxes. "They assume to have :more confidence in Grant than in their present State governments, and say that they are willing to abandon all poli tical differences and accept Grant as the military dictatorfor the entire people: to abolish all for mality of elections in the future, throwing them selves upon the mercy and justice of one so well indorsed as Grant, and whose honesty they affect to believe so implacable. "There is not a shadow of a doubt but that they want a dictatorship, and would hall it with their heartiest approval. They will make no further party opposition, and will not counten ance Northern Democratic counsels. They say they will be deceived no more by them." HAY rl.

DRAMATIC AND ITICSICAC. E. L. DAVENPORT AS. " RoTEI COO. (01.1 n /1., but "Rip yin Winkle - in too frequent quantities will make audiences as sleepy as that somnolent Dutchman himself. Mr. Davenport is well known to old and young play-goers in a wide range of very dissimilar characters, in which his fine ability has ample rcom for display. He is one of the best of his SCIIOOI. He possesses, indeed. greater versatility than any other a .ttor of his years upon the stage; and in all that he undertakes there is the same fluent ease and zraceful manner, the same self - forgetfulness end the delicate expression of fine shades of meaning. His ••Haudet" is not better than some of his licbt comedy parts, and both are so excellent that he is rarely surpassed in either. His interpretation of "Young Rover" in O'Keefe's comedy, Wild ()ate, at the Walnut last night, was one of the most acceptable of its class. He has presented it often before, and it is well known to those who have admired his acting when he has played in this city upon previous cecasions. "Rover" is one of those rollicking, careless, good-natured young 'scapegraces which the old English dramatists delighted so much to draw, and who figure in a multitude of dramas, under a multitude of titles. "Rover" is a vaga bond but he is a gentleman, and in the hands of an actor who is less than the latter, he would have much injustice done him. Mr. Davenport po-sesscs the necessary qualifications in the best degree, and he polishes his personatfon with the varnish of his own in stinctive gentility. The performance Last ni.g_ht _wr.oe_yery excellent throughout, and the hearty syriipathy "%Web existed - between actor rind aud ience was a tributefuot less to Mr. Davenport's great powers than to those personal characteris tics which always inspire respect. To-night he will appear as "Sir Edward Mor timer" in Coleman's play. The Iron Cheat. On Monday next he will produce a sensational play written for him, and entitled"F;" or the Branded. We aro assured that the drama possesses unusual merit. —II in our remarks yesterday upon The Firefly we created the impression that Mr. Robert Craig Indulged wantonly in profanity, we did injustice to an actor whom we have alWays been glad to praise for his festblious observance of the rules of propriety, and for his gentlemanliness not less than for his first-rate ability. The character as sumed by Mr. Crdigin,the above-mentioned play aftOrds him little Opportunity for a full display of his powers, and the somewhat objectionable words are probably , part of the text, and in a ,measure beyond his control. Their recital by an other tvetpr would not have excited comment. We wish to give lin - Craig full credit for hie uniforia practice of discarding anything like ait approach, to Wiliness of language lu the text of his parts..' F. I. FETHERSTON. PRICE THREE CENTS.
