An EMBRYO KING OF SPAlN-The last papers from
Havana contains extract from Madrid Gazette
of the 2nd March, Of which the following is trans
latiOn:
Scarcely anything is spoken or thought of bui
the interesting situation of Her Majesty, and the
congratulations she receives from all quarters. All
the public bodies of every class in Madrid have re-
paired to the Palace and If il possible for you
10 transport yourselves to this city, you would wit
the great satisfaction depicted in the counte-
nances of all the inhabitants"
The Senate had adopted a vote of felicitation on
that suspicious event. On the same day deputa-
tion from the nobility of Spain waited upon the
Queen. and a royal address delivered. The
Queen, in her reply, said:
Il receive with tender emotion the expression OF
your prayers, thai my successor Gf Heaven crowns
our hopes) may see, from his earliest days,
ton completely restored from the evils it has suffer
ed"
1t seems that Her Majesty has already determined
the gender of the embryo responsibility.

The opposition to grand juries, we find convers-
ing with intelligent from all parts Of the coun-
ty Is almost universal. Even those who do not en-
tlrely ersent 10 the abolition of grand jures admit
the necessity Of radical change in The system. We
have not bear good reason advanced, for the con-
ununnce Of this vestige of hy-gone years It's IN
corporation in the amended Constitution of this Safe,
while many reasons brought forward for It's abo-
llon, among which are, FIRST. its secret proceedings
The opposition 60 secret tribunals. either civil or
ecelesis slica. is universal the human family, from

Grafton in the world. The terrible barbarIties ct The
inquIsition written on the page of history, and
engine of oppression perhaps never had ts par
uIle IN The world. Jaries, though they have not the
power to put To the rack. mTre aud burn. have The
power Ia IBlure, do not mean that grand Jur"rs
WonlJ knowingly nlure any man, but the evidence
IS necessarily paTte, and may be malicious: IN
that case, if bill be found aud the individual in
dIcted is innocent, injury Is committed, stain Is
affixed to the character, which will in part, at least,
forever remain matter of record. Other objections
equally strong may be urged. But grand IurIes may
be considered useless in preparing business for the
Circuit Court. For instance IN the case OF murder
one of the highest crimes known, the matter first
comes before sistrae; if The evidence is strong
enough the individual arrested confined IN JAIL or
recognized appear before the Circuit court at It's
term yet proceedings can be instituted
against him in court, until bill is found BY the
grand jury. We ask what utility there can be III
this prOceedingl Why not let the matter come be-
fore the court without this process! Does 1t make
the guilt Of the individual appear more plain! Or
does give him any chance Of establishing his inno-
cence! Does it shorten the proceedings IN court!
To all these questions we answer, No. Then where
ia the use. We might ask the same questions as 10
any other matter, and with The same results. 1T
grand jures useless, and not only but may be
used for malicious purposes, we say dispense with
them altogether They cost this county one hundred
and fifty hundred dollars each year, which Is
money thrown away; if so be, good reason can be
assigned in their favor-Salem Democrat

Yankee Girls Look Here An Irish
paper publishes an extract Of letter from
an Irish damsel in this country TO her
mother at home, saying:
IL would advise all the handsome girls
in Caurtbane to come here, as it makes no
matter with girls here whether they have
money or not. The boys here do not
look for fortune, but every boy for a
handsome wife. The boys here are very
fond of Irish girls, as the Yankee girls
are like the old horses at home, high in
bone but low in flesh, and the color Of a
ducks foot"
