The Presidential contest is virtually over. The teot
elections of Ohio and Pennsylvania, besides the States
lowa and Indiana, have resulted in large RePublt
majorities. At the last elections the Democratic I,eid
carried Pennsylvania by a small majority, and succeed
in reducing the advantage of their opponents in the the
other States. The Republicans have now, hosreve,"
regained all they previously lost. To afford Mr. SeYin,e:s
the slightest chance of success, it was necessary
the Democrats should not merely hold their con, 1-
these States, but that they should ensure further g
As they have receded instead of advancing, Gene
Grant's election is now regardtd as a mere forraality.
SPAIN AND AMERICA.

The Spaniards are not yet sure of Cuba. It wan -et
announced that the great West Indian Island had deli° d
its independence, next that it had recognised the ne"
Spanish Government, and now we receive a pod°
statement. The Governor has announced his intentios
" hold Cuba irrespective of political movements at hi
and devote himself to the preservation of order nlio
peace." This is not a very explicit declaration. It lenve,l
us doubtful whether General Lersundi will await the 6i/
establishment of a monarchy or other form of governynellia
at home, or whether he has concluded that Cuba 10313(
be a nice prize for himself. If, for instance, the lie
Ministry recalled him, would be obey the summons? Ae
The American Government has shewn its activity in Li
interests of freedom by recognising the change in SP4I,
immediately upon its accomplishment. The action of tv
American representative at Madrid has been confirmed es
the Cabinet at Washington. The full text of the sPeer„er
made by General Serrano and the United States Mi°18.1,,,
at their interview have been published, but, as inightts,
expected, they contain nothing beyond general stateo

Chief Justice Jay's opinions on the Constitutvi
of the United States are about to be ventilated in el,lios
suit of a curious character now in course of determieao'
in New York city. The plaintiff, the publisher of e, the
gazine, gave, in 1864, some historical reminiscences of of
life and career of Chief Justice Jay, one of the frateel". •
the Federal Constitution, in which he stated subsof
tially that the Chief Justice was never a he,- tO
supporter of the conditions of that instrureet,oril
propounded. The defendant, John Jay, is a "-do
descendant of Chief Justice Jay, and in reply publish° 0,
letter or card controverting some of the allegations the
cerning his illustrious relative, and asserting that ent
plaintiff was not a supporter of the Federal Govern:not)
hirnse'l, but was in sympathy with the rebellion. Agobjef
case now stands, it appears that the question of ',otr
Justice Jay's opinions on the Constitution will be 'de
mitted to the jury, for the plaintiff has asked that the the
fendant may be compelled to disclose certain letters thief
subject in his possession, which were written by the
Justice between the years 1776 and 1779.
