The news from Spain gives us reason to hope for an early return of peace and order to that distracted country. The crown has been offered to Don Baldomero Espartero, and with teat reluctance he has accepted it. This acceptance is conditional upon the hearty sup port and approval of the Cortes and the peo ple ; but we are well assured that these will be given - by large majorities of both, not only be cause it is desirable to end the strife of - f coons with which the country is kept in - an uproar, but because Espartero is a popular man who has, and well deserves, the confidence of men -of all parties. His, selection for the honor is M some measure a triumph of Republican principles. The son of an humble mechanic, be began life as asommon soldier,and by sheer force of natural ability, nearly always exercised in behalf of liberalism, he has won his way to a throne which is claimed by one of the oldest and proudest royal families in Europe. There is no doubt that he is better fitted for the position than any otter public man - in, Spain. He has had large experience in the executive office, having twice been at the head of the Govern mentos Regent in 1841, and as Prime Minis, ter in 1854. Since 1857 he — has had very little to do with Spanish politics ; and while he was deeply in sympathy with the movement to --depose Isabella,-be-has been-so-little a Wetter_ partisan, that the liberal men of all degrees and opinions can unite in- supporting him much more readily than in the case of any other prominent Spaniard. Moreover, he is a man in whom even - his political enemies repose entire confidence. Throughout his long and active public life he has borne an un blemished reputation as an honest, upright conscientious gentleman, and as a gallant and ohivalronS soldier. All his political experience has not accustomed him do thetrickery and duplicity of common politicians, nor has any selfish ambition ever deterred him from per formance of what he conceived to be his duty to his country. If he is elected to the throne, we believe his administration will be character ized by honesty and fairness, and by a sincere and intelligent effort to reduce the anarchy with which Spain is cursed, to good govern ment, founded upon wise laws wisely adminis tered. It is perhaps one of the best of Espar lierio's recommendations for the throne that he did not seek it, but was extremely unwilling to _accept it when it was offered to, him. His re peated refusals were not arranged for dramatic effect, as Caesar's trick upon the Lupercal. His hesitation was the consequence of genuine dif- Wence to accept royal honors. We believe that he could have had the kingship long ago, if his reluctance to assume it had not been well understood. The principal objection to Espartero is that he is an old man, in his seventy-ninth year, and that be is childless. He cannot live a great while longer, and when his death occurs, unless provision for the succession is made meanwhile, the struggle of the factions which has agitated Spain so long will begin again, and the diffi culty of selecting a satisfactory candidate will present itself in more fohilid'able shape. It is to be hoped, however, that under a wise and liberal administration Spain will be so much advanced in intelligence and in capacity for self-government that the vexed question of the succession will be settled without revolution or bloodshed. CLERU OF TIDE OrPRERE COURT lio% ever the public may disag,rce as to the precise personal responsibility of the present Clerk of the Supreme Court in connection with the issue of fraudulent naturalization papers in 1.668, there can be little difference of opinii4 as to the fact that such papers did issue in large numbers from that source at that time. So strong was the feeling upon, the sub- _ eject, that a movement was made by a large number of our most respected citizens to re- *vest an immediate change in the administra tkin-of the business of the Supreme Court. This movement was abandoned only because It was known that the term of office of the presßit incumbent would soon expire, and that then, without unnecessary ,notoriety,_ the Court would be free to make a new appoint The time is now close at hand when this ap pointment is to tie made; and, viewed in the 414 of past experience, it is certainly ~ot.suf Ecient: irePtiriance to excite the .active interest and attention of the community. No one can deny that public confidence in the Supreme Cotirt was seriously itn paired, two years ago, when it - became known that naturalization papers to an indefinite extent had issued from the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, absolutely without; any-of the forms of law.. Assuming, the very best theory of' the case;that a careless and ineehanieal usage in the vital business of naturalizing American citi zens bad grown up, without any fraudulent intent on the part of the Clerk, it is as clearly 9. the duty of the Supreme Court to avail itself' of the opportunity now offered, as if the Clerk bad been convicted of an actual dishonest, pre meditated design -in the , premises. It is the manifest duty of all our Courts, and especially of the highest tribunal of the State, to avoid all __oppearitnee of evil. in no other way ,can the motel power of the judiciary be maintained before the pubile. " The finpreme Court, by somebody's fault, sustained a griev ous injury in tkis -matter of fraudulent natu ralization, and, now that the office\ from which these naturalizations were issued is about to become vacant, there is a high duty before the Court, to which all personal and Individual Colisiderations should undoubtedly Yield. The _ _ _ clerk's office should be entirely reconstructed. The present incumbent retires by limitation, and there is every propriety in the appoint ment of a successor who - will be in no• way connected with those past events which did'so much to bring the supreme Court into (lib repute. ' . • carriers, We would not make this' a party question, but believing that such action would go far to renew a hatever of public Confidence was lost to the Supreme Court"by the revelations made two years ago, we strongly urge the poliOy of an entirely new appointment. The objection to such policy can only be made upon personal grounds, and these should never_Weigh against considerations of public welfare. Under our American system of rotation, no officer has an abstract right to re-appointasul; lnd, in this case, there is no difficulty in Selecting 'a Cleik of the Supreme Courtrom - among the gentlemen of the Philadelphia bar, who will be, in all respects, competent and-sat isfactory. A prominent. and most respectable member of the bar, Mr. Edwin T. Chase, has, within a few (lays, been solicited to allow his name to be presented to the Supreme Court, in nomination for this responsible position, and his-appeintment---would_certainly_Aneet—,witli warm favor tbroughout the community, where he is so well and favorably known.' We trust that the bar of Philadelphia and our influential citizens generally will_ unite in a Strong and respectful representation of this matter to the Supreme Court; and that, if -the two Demo cratic judges are not willing to re-instate that high tribunal in the perfect ,confidence of the people,-Ahe three Republican judges • will agree-that the vacancy shall be filled by an en tirely fresh appointment. The New York Associated Press bas not yet received some important news brought by steamer from Rio to Lisbon and telegraphed thence last night to the American Press Asso ciation, whose papers printed it this morning. It appears that the rebellion that lately br6ke out in the State of Entre Rios, of the Argen tine Confederation, has been entirely success ful. - General Lopez-Jordan; who . headed it. had proclaimed himself Emperor of Entre Rios, and the new government bad been re 'Cognized by the government of the Argentine - Ccinfederation, which—seems----to--have been glad to got_ rid of a very troublesome member of the Confederacy. The new independent State, which • puts on the airs of an empire, has..an:.area-of only 3T,000 . square—miles, much of which is swampy and barren, and the greater part un cultivated. It has less than a hundred-thou sand inhabitants, and there is little trade - or commerce. The only source of wealth is iu. enormous herds of wild cattle, which furnish 6rked beef, hides; horn, tallow, &c., for com merce. In a greater State such a revolution would have been considered a mighty event. But occurringin_Eutre wilLbe looked upon as a new proof of the inability of people of the Latin races to create permanent, pacific and prosperous republican governments. Per haps the new Emperor sees in the success of imperialism in Brazil good reason for trying the system further south. The New e York Standard, although only about a fortnight old, has made one of those —hits-which-may-be regarded_asensuring its pen mama success. Mr. Young is drawing around him a strong corps of writers, and the Slmulard displays a daily improvement, as the natural result. It will be seen by our adver tising columns, that numerous agencies for the Shotatted have been established in this city. —A inimical and literary'entertainment will be given for the benefit of the " A.

The testimony elicited shows a most astounding condition of h atraim along our Mexican frontier, implicating well-known arid old-wdablished business houses through out -the ~ Northern States. The faet, in - also -- established - - - beyond ---- que.stion that the Mexican Government has encouraged the violation of our laws for the prevention of sintiggling,, and that . PreSident Juarez was acting false to bis repeated public pledges of sympathy for the Union cause daring the late war / and was secretly encouraging the rebel lion by affording its leaders an opportunity ta smuggle arms and - monitions of war into the Confederate States from Mexico in exchange for cotton. Belpinir the Rebels. Caleb H. Blood, who was appointed United States Consul at Monterey, Mexico, in 1862, and - also charged with a special mission to look after the whole lengthof the Rio Grande, to beeif Mexico was carrying out her treatyiand stipulations in regard to preventing arms and munitions of war from' passing over the Rio Grande into Texas-to aid the. rebellion, testi-. • lied that the Mexican Government, during the rebellion in the.-United States, permitted thousandrefhalei of-cotton to pass- over_the_ river, for which they sent back lead, saltpetre, sulphur and boxes of arms ; at times the river was lined with cotton going into Mexico. "In .the early part - of 18fafl, I saw five twelve-mule wagons, at noonday, in the - streets of Mato moras, heavily laden with lead._. They passed immediately by the door of the ' Con sulate. I waited upon_ Mr. Pierce, the Consul at liatamoras,_ and told him that lead was , going direct w to Brownsville ferry. He said he knew all about, it; had known all about it for two or three days, but could not do anything in regard to it; that the only . to'stop at was - I - or. the Government to send troops down there; he told me the names of the parties to whom this lead_belongettor cyan consigned_; I know that the Confederates:were supplied with athaS and other munitions of war by the connivance of MexTeaa officers ; there has been a good deal of smuggling over the line since the chase of the war: it I should attempt' to portray what 1 have seen and - known about it, it would be so lengthy that I should not really know where to begin; when the rebellion closed there were in Mexico from six to ten millions of dollars' worth of surplus goods ; those goods, if forced on the market, would not bring ten. per cent., but they have found their Way - 41MA great part'cif them; into tike United States." tirrutersaatie Smuttgling. "Francis Lathaan'testitied that he was Col lector for the Confederacy at Brownsville, Texas, during the war,and resides there now there is no question bat that the United States has been. , defrauded, in - various ways, Of its dtistoms and revenues on the Rio Grande ever since the treaty with Mexico. It principally arises from the free Warehousing system, Browns ville being a place in tFansittt, a half-way house, fur goods to be crossed over into Mexico; nothing being or supposed to be consumed inTexas. As far as any knowledge extends, the main channel through which the smuggling is done is by passing goods over to Matamoros; and cancelling bonds in almost any way, and more particularly if the goods are got out from Matamoros and into the country towns in Mexico, in which case the bonds are cancelled.on the cer tificates of two merchants in the town,which, of course, are easily got. I regard the law allowing goods to be brougllt into the country and bonded as the great door to these frauds. twine Private Rascality. It the most pernicious thing ever estab lished by the United States. You should make goods pay duty the moment they laud. I have no way of estimating the amount of loss of revenues to the United States resulting -from Zona Libre, the free belt of land six miles wide along the Rio Grande, from the Mouth up on the Mexican side, into which goods are allowed to laud free of duty. I have never made any estimate, but it is immense. I know it is a continual thing. I know there are men there who are proles - sional smugglers. They will take a contract to smuggle: I shall not criminate myself, per, Imps, by making an honest' confession that I . ' bad people in my employ smuggling from Ulla side to the other.

It modified its customs regulations so as to facilitate the exportation -of-cotton and-the return of war material, and, while the Confederate ports- were blockaded by our cruisers, permitted merchandise and munitions of war. imported into Zona Libre to be transferred to the Confederacy at one-fourth the rate of duty. required on the same articles to other ciinntries, or even taken to other places in Mexico Under the guise of friendship and neutrality, the Mexican Government did TM more -harm during_the late war_than it, could have done if openly hostile ; for in that case we could have easily blockaded the mouth - of the Rio Grande, and have completely cut off that great source of Confederate supplies. Efforts have been made to have Mexico abrogate the decree establishing-the Zona Libre,- but Instead _of complying, they have extended Its limits to include - the States of - Nueva Leon and Coai huila. With a- knowledge of the course pursued by Mexico during the late war, and of the -feelings towards - the United States which now animate the majority of her Con gress, it is useless to expect anything from her friendship or her justice. We must de pend wholly on ourselves, and must protect our revenue by the best means in our power.

Be also refers to the injustice done the Re publicans of Georgia by the report, remarking that be himself had been subject to the- vilest abuse and, most villainous rebel slafulers,which one by 'one were worn out, and every attempt to sustain one of them had proved a shameless failure.
