A New Cent.

Everybody will be glad to learn that new
cent is to be coined. The old copper head,
which has so long represented the smallest
fractional division Of our decimal money in
use, is too cumbrous and large for the little
value it represents, and the substitution for it
Of new coin, readily distnguishable from all
others in circulation, will be considered by all
a great improvement. 1t is, therefore, pro-
posed by the Director Of the Mint, that the new
cent shall be Lightweight parts copper and
twelve parts nickel. This will make a coin Of
q dark reddish color. 1t is TO weigh u grains,

From the Globe of yesterday evening.
Ell TIONs.
Kentucky.


The election returns come in every slowl,
In Kentucky only twenty seven counties hay
been heard from, showing Democratic gail
over the Governors election last fall Of fiv
4 thousand FIVE hundred votes. The American
majority in the whole State last fall was fou
! thousand four hundred and three. As far a
ascertained, there have been elected FIVE Dem
ocratic, three American, and two Wing judges
The Democrats have carried the Lexington
judicial district over the present American
chief justice of the Supreme Court
Missouri.
In six counties in Missouri Ewing, the
American candidate for Governor, has ma
jority of 1907 In FIVE other counties, Polk,
the Democratic candidate, has a majority of
1000. The official vote in ST. Louis county is
as follows: For Governor-Benton. 1868; Ew-
ing, American, Alb; Polk, anti-Benton, 2,78l.
For Congress Benton, 6,033; Kennett,
American, s, 949; Reynolds, anti. Benton, 2,lsl.
In St. Francis country, Folks majority will
probably be 400, and Mr.. Caruthers, Demo
crat, for Congress, about the same. Howard
county gives Polk 200 majority. Lincoln
county is reported at 200 majority for Polk.
St. Genevieve county gives Caruthers I65 ma
jority over his competitors. Cooper county
gives Ewing American, about 100 majority
over Polk. In 1866 Caruthers had 43s ma.
jority in ST. Francis and St. Genevieve gave
him All. His majority in the district was
2,425.
North Carolina.
In North Carolina Raleigh gives Gilmer, the
American candidate for Governor, 35l, Bragg
Democrat, 263-a gain Of "a for Bragg. For
legislature, Rogers, American, has ITO majority.
All but eight precincts following these as be-
fore) in Wake county give Democratic gain
of l02. The whole Democratic county ticket
is elected by an increased majority. The
Democrats also gain one member in the Legis-
lature. 1t is thought that Bragg is reelected
Governor.
The returns from Iowa are conflicting The
claim large gains. The Demo-
cratic majority in Dubuque city and county is
Goa large gain. Partial returns from
Keokuk second district, give Curtis, Republic

received letter from reliable source in Bur-

majesty, the King Of Ava, to be the bearer Of
a royal letter to our government, inviting the
establishment of friendly and commercial re-
lations between the Court Of Ava and the
United States.

Affairs In Spain .

As direct communication by telegraph be-
tween Paris and Madrid has been interrupted
in consequence of the refusal of the French
Government to allow the Spanish journals to
be delivered in its capital, we must rely almost
exclusively upon the English papers for infor-
nation respecting the Spanish troubles. Our
Paris correspondent has been able to obtain
from reliable sources the following facts:
"The intelligence as 10 the critical situation OF
Saragossa confirmed. News dated Thursday
evening the nth, has reached Bayonne, announc-
ing that the whole OF Aragon had declared against
ODonnell, and that Gurrea, at the head of the
garrison and the people, was master of Saragossa.
Gurrea is one OF the o dest and most intimate
friends of Espartero whose retreat, up to the
present time, is unknown. II is further stated
that the Cortes about 10 sit in that. city, and
that eighty five members have arrived for the
purpose, fifty being sufficient TO form n quorum
and open the session. This appears 10 be most
serious state OF affairs, for II indicates that re-
solute opposition TO the new Ministry has been
for long time organized, with Sarsgossa as a
basis of operations
'tAs the Cores, ut their last session in Madrid,
with only one dissenting voice, declared against
ODonnell, his continuance in the Ministry Is I'M
constitutional, and the first step the Cortes are
likely TO take will be TO install a new Government.
Civil war would ensue, from which republic or
absolute monarchy would finally result. In view
Of this critical position Of affairs the Fre1ch Min.
lister Of War has directed several additional regi
meuts 10 be stationed on the Spanish frontier, all
Of which have left for their destination BY the
most speedy routes.
"The statement OF the Queen, which preceded
the decree establishing the state of siege, bore
the signature of five Ministers only out of seven
The reason OF this was that since the Ministry
has been formed neither Luzuriaga pustice) non
M. BayarIi (Marne) have been at Madrid. The
former is at the baths Of Pestona in the province
Of Guipusiva Possibly, therefore, these perso
nages may not consent to form a part Of the
| O'Donne Ministry. This is almost certain a,

erance will be rebuked; the equality Of the
States, the keystone of the arch Of the govern
mental fabric, will be preserved intact; and
peace, prosperity, and happiness will smile upon
the land.
Although, in coming to this determination,
after long and anxious elaboration, my own
convictions alone would have sufficed to dictate
my course, it would be nncandid for me not TO
say that i feel encouragement from the fact
that other and ADLER and better men than
have taken the same view Of their duty in this
crisis which my own convictions have pointed
out to me. From all parts of the country comes
the cheering intelligence that gallant, and pa.
triotic, and high-minded leaders Of the old Wing
party, ever faithful to the conservative primer
Piles which they have professed, are rallying to
the defence of the Constitution from the attack
Of its fanatical assailants. On which side So
ever Of this chamber cast my eyes, behold
men whom the Wing party ever delighted to
honor lending their courage and strength to
the success OF that common cause which we
together have espoused. Sir, the end is not
| yet others will follow. The time will come,
and come very soon--sooner thar they think.
As the designs Of the enemy become more and
more developed, the patriot band will be aug.
mented with fresh recruits Yes, sir let the
note of alarm be sounded through the land
let the people only be informed; let them be
told OF the momentous crisis which is at hand
and they will rise in their might, and, placing
their heel on the head Of the serpent that ha,
glided into their Eden, they will crush il to tn,
earth, once and forever
