not share the public conveyances with the whites.
To-day's news leaves the negroes in the ascendant,
anda bill to prevent their holding office has been de-
feated in the Georgia Legislature. In Louisiana, too,
the House of Representatives has unseated two Re-
publicans and given their seats to negroes. This is
certainly not the way to increase the popularity of
negroes among the Republicans; and indeed when-
ever their professions in favour of the black man
are put to a personal test they are very apt to col-
lapse.

On the 2d of October Governor GEAR; with a
body of 12,000 soldiers and sailors, walked in
procession through the streets of Philadelphia,
the demonstration being in favour of GRANT and
COLFAX. In New York, on the same day, Gen.
111‘CLELLAN received an ovation from a large De-
mocratic assembly. The Irish Republicans, to
judge from a meeting hell at New York, intend to
sup: ort GRANT'S claims to the Presidency very
actively. In this meeting several prominent
Fenians took part, and delivered speeches. The
Fenians are still busy, though they are at present
devoting their energies to American affairs rather
than to Hibernian. However, they have not as
yet succeeded in doing much mischief, and we may
hope that the Americans are too shrewd to be easily
influenced by their evident Anglophobia. Within
the next day or two we shall hear by telegraph the
results of the Ohio and Pennsylvania elections,
which are usually accepted as significant of the
first issue in the great Presidential contest, and are
consequently regarded with much interest both here
and in the United States.

THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.
MADRID, Oct. 13.

The Minister of the Colonies has been entrusted
by his colleagues with the task of drawing up, in
the name of the Provisional Government, a ma-
nifesto to the country stating the policy of the Ca-
binet.

Senor Lorenzana, the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, has sent a circular to the representatives of
foreign Governments at Madrid, officially inform-
ing them of the formation of the Provisional Go-
vernment. Senor Lorenzana is also preparing a
detailed manifesto to be sent to the foreign
Powers.

The Official Gazette will publish to-morrow the
decree suppressing the Ochois, which will be re-
placed by a more equitable and less onerous tax.
The Government recognises the Greek dynasty
which was elected by universal suffrage, and which
the previous Spanish Government had declined to
recognise.

Several English, French, and German banking-
houses have offered to advance important sums to
the Provisional Government.

Senor Veja Armijo has declined, on account of
ill health, the Spanish legation at London, which
was offered to him.

by the earthquakes and inundations. At Coquimbo
the British barques William Leeke, Star of the

Black Eagle, were all more or less damaged. At
Caldera the vessels Oakland and Chili were badly
damaged. At Carrisal Bajo twenty lighters were

with 200,000 kilograms of copper, embarked for
Lota, was totally lost.
In Ecuador the provinces of Imbambura and
Pichincha have suffered very severely, whole fami-
lies in several instances have been buried beneath
the ruins of their houses, and many those who were
bruised and maimed, but not killed, have lingered
on for several days until death has put an end to
their sufferings. Others have been eventually re-
covered from their perilous situations. In one case
a gentleman was got out from the ruins after being
buried six days.
