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. M. Alfred
Assonant. writing in the Ganlois this evening,
sous that if Count Bismarck has stirred up the
revolution in Spain be has done good service to
Frntee, for it Is impossible that what has hap
pened across the Pyrenees should not suggest to
Napoleon 111. some wholesome reflections.
"When a man sees his neighbor's chimney catch
fire he sweeps his own."
tarlist Renunciation of the Throne.
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.

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.
Marshal Serrattol% Cabinet Man
The Madrid Gatette publishes the following
proclamation from Marshal Serrano, Captain-
General of the Army:to whom the Junta confided
on the 3d of October the formation of a provi
sional government:
.v,ra"iard.s—ltivested with the supreme power
and charged to torus a government which is to
rule the country until it shall itself be definitively
constituted, I have the happiness and
honor of announcing to the people of
Madrid and Spain that I proceed iminei
diately to faith the duty which the country has
entrusted CO me. Men identified with the revo
lution will compote the provisional government.
Let tranquillity continue, let confidence nit be
weakened, nor the magnificent spe , Lacle aAmirnd

of the entire army, it, fraternization with
the people and the patriotism of all wiil ompicte

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.

A Sequel to the Brodhead Letter—De
eislons of the Supreme Court Con

[From the Lafayette (Ind.) Courier.]
Fors BANDE]:-., WYOMIN4. 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. Davenport is ono of the mast accom

The reconstruction acts violate the Constitu

this is unconstitutional? Are those who say
that the military is subordinate to the civil au

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

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."

HAVANA, Oct. 20, 1868.—We have advices from
Port an Prince to the 9th inst. They announce
the bombardment of Jdremie on the 6th. Notice

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

than any other a .ttor of his years upon the stage;
and in all that he undertakes there is the same

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

To-night he will appear as "Sir Edward Mor

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.
