By a despatch from St. Louis we have news from

having the appearance of personal cr sectional feel-
int." I, was reported that five hundred of General

the most usnieress ekes, they wished to beeeses
Spaniah citizens in fact, and hoist the Spada Sag.
Great excitement prevailed, busiest' was suspended,
and the President and Cabinet wished to resign. The'
Spanish Consul was endeavouring to prevent the
American treaty from being ratified, and the liberals
muss anxiously expecting a war vessel from the
Visited States. Is a political dispute one of the city

The Alfa California, of July 21, publishes a very
lengthy report from the Vigilance Committee spas
distal corruption. " The importance and even &hea-
ls% necessity,* they say, "of abolishing the present
system of fees in °Moe, and a nbstitution of moderate
solstice to include expenses, most be apparest to
entry reflecting man. The fee system seems to have
hem the meat of evils in our community, and sesamd
to none except the corruption of the Supreme Court.
Both together have encouraged fraud and aims el'
every kind. We coma souclude this report witboat
:712 the permanent impalas% of securing the
right of our Weedy, franchise. The letter
aid spirit of the law alike require that the whole
prosodies should be patio. Lot as, thee, have
spacious halls for voting, open to the public by night
and by day, till the result is declared, mad ballot
boxes that cannot be stuffed, even transparent, U
ocesary, elevated is fall view, and guarded by a
eatisen police, that all may vote, and see and record
the vote of others. Then, with the aid of a registry
law we might utterly exterminate the banded body
of traitors and villians who have so long robbed vs of
car birthright, and brought reproach upon the very
memo of liberty and repubticanion."
