SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATEs.-
Late Madrid journals mention a report
that Cabinet Council, presided over
by the Queen, had resolved that an en-
ergetic note should be addressed to the
Government of the United States on
the subject of the seizure by an Amerl-
can ship-of-war in the waters of Mexico,
of the Spanish steamer the Marquis de
Ia Habana-a seizure affected though
the latter way carrying the Spanish flag.
Senior Collentes, the minister fer fore
ign affairs, has declared in his journal,
the Epoca, that Spain is prepared to en-
force her claims should America refuse
her redress, indemnificaton, and guar
antees that no such ''outrages" shall be
perpetrated for the future. 1--WE do not
desire war;" says the Epoca, with
America, but, should it be inevitable, We
are not apprehensire as to the result !
A nation which has just shed its blood
and treasure in Africa in defence OF its
honor-in the name Of this nation, which
has thus rendered itself great and pow
erfnl, We demand that the Government
shall display in this matter the utmost
ener5y. We hope that the affair may
be settled by diplomacy; but should
diplomacy fail, we acW scrits on america

without indicating the hotel at which he

due time hunted him up, and has subject

which, no doubt, he would have been
glad to escape. The Prince has had

and being possessed of an Independent

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whoic body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks. nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint IS variouSly
caused by rlcrrurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncre;l infection. What
ever be iei origin, it Is hereditary in the con-
shtution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod of Him Who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by dcpo ,ition from the
6.ood OF corrupt or ulccrous matter, which. il
the lungs. liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swcllinss; and ON
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupoon, which genders in the blood, depresscs
the energies Of life, SO that scrofuious consttu-
tons not only suffer from scrotulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; corsc-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous i'll their nature
are still rendered fatal by this tant in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
i'll this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or EnYsIpELAs, PMpLEs, PUsTULEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYPHILIrIc and MERcURIAL Dis
BASES, DnoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEDILIrY, and,
indeed. ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in " "in,p,uity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

John Sargeant,s Prediction Full.
filled. Ef

In 1920, forty years ago, when the coun.
try was agitated as intensely as now, and
dissolution of the Union was mooted then
as now, in the course of debate on the bill
for the admission of Missouri, John Sar-
gexnt, Of Pa, said:
HAS any one seriously considered the
scope of the doctrine extension of slavery
1t leads directly to the establishment of
slavery throughout the world. 1t leads
directly to the opening of the slave trade. "
Congress had just before passed the act
declaring to have slave trale piracy. Moth
ing could have been mora improbable than
the opening of the slave trade when John
Sergeant uttered these words. Forty years
later, 1860, finds the prediction verified.
In this time Slave States in larger total
area than Free States have been added to
the Union. The Territories of Utah and
New Mexico have been erected, with the
anomalous provision that they may be-
come Slave States. The Territory of
Kansas, asking long admission, is debar-
red because the President and Senate re-
fuse on the ground of non-permission of sla-
very. Nebraska Territory has been organ
lied with a provision that Congress shall
not prohibit slavery. These four Terrific
ries have area of $4,000 square miles in
the very heart of the continent, and stretch
ing from the Missouri TO the river Colora-
do and the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Cargoes of slaves from Africa are land
ed on out coasts. Neither court nor jury
can be found to try these cases in execu-
lion of the laws. Authentic Parliament
ary papers show that Great Britain has ex
pended, since 1920, for the suppression of
the slave trade. 100000 per anuum, or
$3.50, 100000 in these forty years.
ultimately connected with this business
of landing cargoes of slaves on our coast
are other frightful and appalling scenes.
The African tribes are melted to war upon
each otber to obtain captiyes and sell them
TO the slavers. Prominent in these acts
and desolations of this accursed trade is
the King of Dahomy. Our recent inleli-
gence is that he has just sacrificed, in high
carnival, thousands of human beings, his
own subjects, for the glory and perpetuity
of the Kingdom Dahomy! Great God
what are We coming to? Mark well these
astonishing coinc 'dences.

A Political Munchausen...C0l.
Ored Vote of Ohio.

Herschel V. Johnson, a candidate for the
Vice Presidency on the Douglas ticket,
speaking to the citizens of New York, said
he had no doubt the election in Ohio was
turned Jy the negro vote! When the En-
quirer of this city makes such assertions,
there is nothing surprising in it. All its
political statements are made in Pickwick-
ian sense, in which nothing is to be be-
lieved, unless by courtesy. But when a
a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, and a
man who was once Senator from great
Southern State, makes such a statement,
we confess to no little surprise. 1t is an ex-
ample either of the most marvellous igno.
rance, or the most incredible falsehood.-
We know not which horn Mr.. johnson may
choose; but for the sake of courtesy, will
assume the former, and that Mr.. johnson
really knows nothing of the statistics, So
ciety or laws of Ohio. In that case be is
very imprudent in speaking of what he
knows nothing. To enlighten his mind,
and perhaps others, who may think such a
man is to believed, we will submit few
acts: rtr.E
= By the U. S. statistics, there were
in Ohio in 1850,
Colored people 1920
Male colored people 1891
Male colored over 81 years ofage- 5,S27
2. By the Constitution of Ohio, none
but white males over twenty one can vote;
but the Supreme Court decided that man
less than half blood, was white; conse-
quently if the judges of elections should
decide that light colored muIatto was
less than half, they might admit him to
vote. Now the number of this class is
not one-lhird the whole amount, and of
the 5.S27 colored males over 81, lot more
than two thousand could possibly come
within legal vote. Judge Brinkerhoff's
clear maj jority of The entire vote was 1904
If, then, every colored man in Ohio had
voted the Republican ticket, she W ould still
have had 5000 white majority beyond
that; and if every one voted for him, who
had right he would have IL 900. But so
far from this, we challenge all the inspec-
tors cf elections in Ohio to show that
three hundred colored men actually voted
at all or that two hundred voted the Repub-
lican ticket. When we state that half the
colored population of Ohio are in the
counties of Hamilton, Ross, Franklin, Pike,
Fairfield and Gall:a, and one or two others,
where negro voting would subject him
to being mo6bed, it will be seen what an
incredible amount of either ignorance or
lying is involved in Mr.. Johnson's state
ment. AS he knows be has not the remo-
test prospect of being elected, we should
suppose he would desire to come out of
the campaign honorably, without earning,
as he has done, the contempt of honora-
bic and intelligent men.-Cin. Gaz.

Meetings of scientific and literary
men become as abundant in Europe as po-
litical meetings in America. An Interna.
tional Congress of chemists has recently
assembled at Carlsruhe, and Cousin, the
French philosopher, was one of the Presi-
dents. A Pathological Congress has been
held at Brunswick, and a Congress of Jour
nalists has been held at Frankfort on the.
Main, under the auspices of Gotta, particu-
larly for the purpose of consulting about
the propriety of copyrighting telegrathic
dispatches.

A DIsuNIoN QuARREL.-Great excite
ment exists in Virginia between the seces-
sion faction, headed by Gov. Wise, and
of the Unionists, under Gov. Letcher. As
stated in my former dispatch, Gov. Letch-
er is determined to put down all revolution
ary proceedings. and maintain the suprep,-
acy of the laws. There is no doubt that
the Union sentiment in the whole South
largely preponderates among the masses.
A Leading politician writes from Virginia
as follows:
"Gov. Wise has raised the standard of
treason and revolt. His speech utterly de-
molishes him and his whole former reason
ing. Messrs Letcher, Bolts, Rives, Segur,
Flournoy, and Goggin are all against Gov. L.
Wise and but little doubt is expressed that
the vote of the State will be thrown for
Bell, and in favor of the Union.y
