Later from Europe-Arrival Of the At
lantic.


New YORK, Aug. 4.
The Steamer Atlantic has arrived with
Liverpool dates to July 23d.
The news relates mainly to the out.
break of civil war in Spain. The state
ments representing its progress and pros
poets are very conflicting. 1t appears
that O'Donnell had previously prepared
to crush any manifestation. and had as
scmbled in and around Madrid $4,000
troops. Against this force the national
guard and citizens held their ground for
thirty hours, and at length gave in and
were disarmed. Two hundred persons
were killed in the emeute. At latest
dates Madrid was tranquil. Espartero
was supposed to be within the city under
arrest. At Barcelona and elsewhere
there had been smaller outbreaks. but
they were speedily suppressed. The
Head Quarters of the instruction were
at Saragossa, where Esparteros friends
had gained victory over the garrison,
and where it is reported more than le-
gal quorum Of the Cortes had assembled,
and proclaimed liberty and the constitu
ton. The Emperor of France had Or
dered French force to assemble on the
Spanish frontier as a measure Of precau
ton. A letter from the Secretary of..nnu
Spanish legation at Paris, says the diff
Guilty between Spain and Mexico has
been honorably settled. The British
news is entirely unimportant. Paria-
ment would adjourn about the 30th.-
Parliament would be prorogued on the
goth. A serious riot occurred at Aldens-
holt camp on the nights of the L 18th and
18th, between the government troops
and party of the first regiment: two
Germans were killed, and several soldiers
wounded on both sides. Immediate
cause of the outbreak no: known, but
there had been for some time an alarm
ing state of excitement. Intelligence
has been received at Bayonne, announc-
ing that all Arregon has pronounced
against O'Donnell, and that Guerrea, at
the head of the garrison and the people
was master of Saragossa. 1t is added
that the Cortes have gone to hold their
session in that city. This is serious news.
We trust that it is exaggerated, at least
so far as the number of deputies assem-
bled at Sarasossa is concerned. On the
other hand, the Messenger de Bayonne
says: In consequence Of the events at
Madrid government has by telegraph ar
rested in transit thirteen millions of
francs shipped to Bayonne on the 18th.
These funds will remain at Victoria I'M
til further orders. They had been sent
to Spain by the Credit Mobiles. Let
tiers say that Espartero was under sur
veillance at Madrid, in the house where
he retired after leaving the hotel Of the
Presidency of the Council.

Gen. Jackson's Opinion Of old Buck

The following is an extract from a
letter just published by the editor of the
Nashville Banner, who stated that the
original, in Gen. Jackson's handwriting,
was then before him -
HERMITAGE, Feb. %, 1915.
Your observations with regard to Mr.
Buchanan are correct. HE SHOWED
A WANT OF MORAL COURAGE
in the affair of the intrigue of Adams and
Clay-did not do justice in the expose he
then made, and am sure about that
time did believe there was a perfect I'M
derstanding between Adams and Clay
about the Presidency and the Sec'y of
State. This l am sure of. But wheth-
er he viewed that there was any corrup
ton or not, l know not, but one thing
l do know, that HE WISHED ME
TO COMBAT THEM WITH THEIR
OWN WEAPONS-THAT WAS TO
LET MY FRIENDS SAY IF l WAS
ELECTED, l WOULD MAKE MR..
CLAY SECRETARY OF STATE
This TO me appeared gross corruption, and
I repealed it with that honest indignation
as (whichs l thought it deserved.

Money vs.. Freedom In Maine.

The Washington correspondent Of the
N. y. Tribune says:
II learn that the Administration Cen
trail COMMITTEES in this city have given
the Democratic party of Maine the sum
of Sl5 1000, to be appropriated in defeat
ing Mr.. Hamlin, and that the Govern
ment officers in Maine. in the Post Of
fees, Custom houses, and at the Navy
Yard at Kittery, have been, or are to be
assessed sufficient sum to swell the
amount to 100000. They may double
the sum. and they can't beat Hamlin.-
The freeman of Maine are not to be
bought by the secret service money. The
State will be. sure to give Hamlin at
least 10 900 majority.

The straight Wings of this village
seem to be dissatisfied with their former
allies the Buchanier party if we can be-
lieve them sincere in the demonstration
which was presented to our citizens on
the morning of the 9th. inst. They flung
to the breeze beautiful banner with the
names Of Fillmore and Donelson in
scribed thereon. We could not credit
the report that that was the banner of
the teW araights Of this town. notwith-
standing it was run out from the resi-
dence of the Elk. Sheriff of our County
under Gov. Crosby. But upon inquir-
ing such proved to be the fact.
Thas it appears by their banner that
they are to strike hands with the South
American branch Of the Know Nothings.
Can it be that that little band has desert
ed Buchanan and his supporters Arc
no friends or ally to be left him in Maine
but that purchased tew, who are the re-
cipients Of special tarors from the public
treasury This last act only veri6es
the homely adage that when one begins
to go down hill every man is ready to
give him kick.

Sham Democracy Doings.

At the officeholders Convention of
this Congressional District, held at Co.
lumbia, on the 5th, one Of the speakers,
as we are informed, gave a glowing ac-
count OF what he claimed as the patri otto
doings and great triumphs of the sham
Democracy to which he would have it the
country was solely indebted for all its
greatness and glory-and that among
these were the grea. extension Of the
National Domain, and the eighteen new
States that had been added to the orig
inal thirteen, in all of which these dis
interested patriots and dear lovers Of the
people and of equal rights, and dis
tributive justice, ever had been opposed
by the naughty, Sectional Aboittionisis.
But he did not state, as he should, that
all that had ever been done to injure and
disgrace the country-to increase the
love and practice of embczzlement and
peculation-of fraud and trcachery-ot
bad morals and violation Of national
faith of lawless violence and brute
force-of ruffianism and fillibustcrism-
and all the arbitrary and despotic acts
that possibly could be done to depress
and circumscribe regulated la wful liberty
and to foster, extend, and perpetuate the
despotic power of slavery, and its dough-
face otficcholders of the North, had been
done by the sham Democracy-by their
false and treacherous party, in the abus-
ed names of Liberty and Democracy,
every step of which had been taken with
a miserable lie branded upon its bra
zen, shameless front; with all law, right
and power for mischief, tyranny and OPP
preston, but no power or right to protect
personal or political rights, preserve law
and order, or punish the atrocioas
scoundrels who have grossly and abit.

dearest interests.
These surely are some of the beauties
of the sham Democracy, introduced into
our American politics, by such venal
corrupt and despotic spirits as Pierce,
Douglas, and Buchanan, which the ora
tor certainly should not have omitted in
his list of the beauties and triumphs of
our apostate Democracy.
If it were not so, how happens it that
for several years past, the more homes,

have been abandoning the corrupt treach.
eroas party, and with similar spirits from
the other old parties, have united and
formed the new Republican Party to
save the country. Names are nothing,
but principles, sustained and proved by
measures, all tending to the same gen
eral result, are conclusive, lasting and
momentus as the eternal hills

serve the record Of the falsely styled
Democrats in Congress, and compare
their professions here, with their record
there. Thus the record reads.
First, that erry Democrat in The Sen

Second, that erery Democrat but one
in the House VOTED AGAINST a similar
bill, and it was defeated.
Thirdly, that erery Democrat but one
IN the House VOTED AGAINST reconsider
ation of the vote by which the Bill was
lost.
Fourthly, that when the reconsidera-
ton of the Bill was carried, erery Demo.
Graf in tho House but one AGAIN VOTED
AGAINST its passage, but this time the
friends of freedom succeeded.
Here the record shows that the Demo.
cratic party in Congress has inferibiy

the person arrested at East Cambridge
on the Sth of April last, for cruelty to
horse, was convicted of the crime at the
last criminal term of the Court at Con-
cord, and sentenced to the House Of
Correction for the term Of one month
He has been in Jail since his arrest. in
April last consequently his punishment
is quite as heavy as he was prepared to
expect. Cruelty to that noble and use
full animal, the horse, should never be

striking examples OF few of the perpe-

would be very much reduced. 1t is prop
