A Revolution Pnt Down

The Spanish instruction" has come to A
sudden end. But as long as the present
Queen remains upon the throne, her subjects
will either obey in suIlen despair, or endeavol
IN spasmodc efforts to throw off her authori-
ty. Personally she lis detested by her people
She belongs in her superstition and .Ler prof
legacy to past generation and the open VIC
ations ofpropriety of which she Is notoriously
guilty, irritate the Spaniards almost beyond
endurance. When the cholera was in Mad
rid she had an opportunity to regain, in great
part, the popular affection, and had, under
the advice of Marshal O'DoNNrLL, set forth
upon her journey to the capital; but listening
to the timid eoupsels Of her retinue of terri
fed fayorites, who had no fancy for visiting
hospitals, she abandoned the intention. aud
thus lost,a grapd opportunity to. regain her
place in the popular heart. 5ts-a
That she committed great blunder in dis
regarding the advice of her Minister in thi.
matter, was, made fully apparent by her re-
cepton when she finally entered Madrid.
The royal coach, instead Of being hailed with
viyas, was hooted by the mob, aud her most
Catholic Majesty was heartily frightened on
her road to the palace. sss s5tyisf Is ss'ss
with'a Queen who is weak, superstitious,
frivolous, profigate and unpopular to rude
over them; theSpaniards will always remain
dissatisfied and rehellipus, and perhaps the
happiest thing which could happen for-them
would be for ODoNNELL, to follow the fash
ion of these revolutionary times aud proclaim
himself King or Regent. The change would
be hailedb his comtrymen withlunailected
satisfaction. 81 9l4a asa ,paaa 1o s.felA

give us a BIN of Particulars.

We took occasion a few days. ago in con
sideripg Murder as a Political art" to express
the belief, that the infamous, scheme to con-
yict Mr. Davis of completely with the "assassi-
nation plot" would be rebuked by every hon
est press at the North; and that an inyestiga-
ton would BE- made into the details and par
riculars OF this supreme inlamy Of the nine
tenth century In evidence that we were
partly right we here copy from the New
York Commercial the following expression Of
opinion. That journal says iLtae 17,
'Ihere was no evidence whatever to i'm
plicate Davis, Clay, Sanders, and others in
the plot, and the charges against them were
based on false information furnished by spies
and inlormers who were actuated by the
basest motives. The reputation. of our Gov
ornnelt aud people demands tbs frank adj
mission that there is no stain upon Gle fallen
rebel leaders beyond that OF treason; and that
they had no c0nrplieity with OF knowledge Of
the vile conspiracy to murder the President.

mics of their country but they werenot nAur

is due to justice and a deeent self-respect." =.
Il is gratifying even at this late, Gay to hear
words OF common sense and common Justice
uttered in this connection: but we ask our COS
temporary if The reputation Of the Guvcrn-

ment and people do not equally demand
something more ethan the frank admission
that there is no stain upon the fallerfrebel
leaders" in connection with this dark business?
Is the deliberate preparation Of testimony by
Government agents whcrewth to compass the
ignominious death of unhappy prisoners SO,
light an offence that no investigation is called
for? Is the paying Of Government blood
ial matter that we are not toknow bywhose
order, and at whose instigation this attempt
at Judicial murder was arranged and made?
Surely if the fair fame of the Government
and the people demand frank disclaimer Of
belief in the paltry and ridiculous story of
Mr.. DAvIs's completely in the assassination of
Mr.. LINCOLN, the reputation of both Govern
ment and people demand with greater force
that the authors of this infamous scheme
should be held up to the detestation of the
world
By all means let us have the full rsrtcu-
lars Of this diabolical plot, and the response
bility fixed on the proper parties.
How to get the Sense of the People.
Our friend, the Virgnian, it seems, still
considers State Convention practicable by
means of a call from the Central Committees
now in session in Richmond -sA"
1t qualities its opinion, however, by the re-
mark, that, sthe time allowed to be lost may
have defeated the object of the step taken by
the Portsmouth Club This is precisely the
belief expressed by us in our Mondays issue.
Nor is this the only reason, by any means
which induces us to think the mode original
ly suggested Himpracticable % l
We doubt if half dozen communities in
the State have digested any plan of action
and without general organization, it is simply
impossible for popular movements to be con-
Quoted with vigor and CELEBRITY In addition
to this the universal and lamentabe poverty
of our people make it exceedingly doubtful
whether a tolerably full representation of the
State could be secured even if we had ample
time in which to act. If practicable, we
SllOulI prefer W ste Lue L OItSfDOuIu plan, aQ-
mirable in itself, carried into effect; but in de-
| fault of this, what then? ~
In our article already alluded to, we made
practical suggestion with view to obtain
ing an expression Of public opinion, which
our contemporary Justly values. Let us have
district Conventions to ratify, or reject the
action of the Executive Committees now de-
liberating upon this business. The voice of
thepeople thus ex pressed will drown'sthe cry"
| if raised, chat Virginia is still manipulated
and controlled by the old wire-workers ?" In
short, not to argue so plain a proposition at
greater length, the plan we suggest is the
best one which now remains to us, and we
trust, In the event that no Convention is pro-
vided for by the Committees that this district
will be called together to meet in this city at
an early day. f1sxaJql.t
! Meantime,w we wait the action of the central
body, with the full belief that its members
will consult the honor. dignity and interests
of the State, and govern their action by these
| high considerations & .faHe.

the ballet:
"The Black Crook" as play, is the
silliest trash | ever listened to. Any
ordinary school boy could write better
dialogue, ard the plot is the same that
we have seen in dozens. OF devil dramas
before. But the scenery and transfor-

herself grossly nsulted if asked how she

the Menken exhibition is really more in

When one reflects how simple thing,
comparatively, the organization of an
agricultural college is, it must be ad-
mitted that this abject failure affords a
striking commentary on the many walls
which Massachusetts men of science have
of late put up over the wasting out Of the
virile and mental forces of that commu-
nifty. With Banks and Butler as its
contributions to the military record of
the times, with Sumner, and Wilson,
and Boutwell, as its leading public men,
Massachusetts makes indeed but sorry
show in this year of grace, 1866. The

spun up into Lowell muslins; and Bos-
