sp.,y AND soUrrI AMERICA.

Spain seems to DO not yet sufficiently humbed by
her ignominious defeat at Caao, but is picking
quarrel with another of the South American republics
Two freates, we are informed by the latest news
from Havana were going to Venezuela, to demand sat-
isacton for some alo ged wrong 20 the Spanish Lega
ton in tina, country.
II is surprising that the Spluards should still fail
to appreciate the ciIcc, OF their dsmaceul conduct
toward South America though all the rest
OF tic world sees it. We gave in Yesterday
TRIBUNE a note from the Government of the
Argentine Republic 10 that Of Spain, on the lombard
men, Of Valparaiso. Hitherto, the Argentine Repub
lie had remained neutral in the war between Spain
and the Pacific republics Of South America, and bad
thereby given great ofcnso to the Governments and
the peoples Of the allied republics. But when the
news Of the bombarlment OF Valparaiso reached
Bucnos Ayrcs public opinion strongly urged the Gov
eminent to join the alliance and We learn from the
Buenos AyFes papers that the Government would
probably be compelled 10 abandon It's neutral policy
The impulse which the aggressive policy Of Spain
Las given to the spirit % patriotism and ndepend
ence throughout South America is unparalleled in the
history OF those republic. There now signs Of
progress which the former history Of these countries
mover presented. j. becomes more and more proba-
lie that most of the republics will soon estab-
lsh a Confederation with one central government,
which. by the consolidation of all their nayes.
and by the fertilization Of the chief sea-
ports will soon be able TO assume the aggressive
instead Of the defensive. Tho papers Of all South
and Central America vie with each other in
devotion to the American cause" and public
opinion il rapidly becoming unanimous. We believe
the prospects OF South America were never so bril-
liant as al present, and that the great improvement
in their situation is due chiefly to the Spanish ag-
gressons which were meant to ovcrwhelm them.

number Of young clerks cOnstitutionally indis.
posed to hard work, aud who never saw plow or a

corners Of the Departments, have leveled some
crushing resolutions at those contemptuous Senators
who call them political grubs." From the tone Of
these resolutions, we judge that, though the DE

would support the next President with equal VIM

SOUTHERN LRyEEs.

The extraordinary floods Of this season have proved
iearfuIly destructive in tho Southwest Louisiana
west Of the Mississippi and south Of the Red River
has been mainly under water-perhaps still Isl while
eastward Of the Mississippi, the rich valley Of the
Yazoo with lis tributaries, embracing 100000 acres
Of the most productive cotton land in the world is in
good part 50 flooded a. to be scarcely habiiabe. This
is partly owing to the foods; partly to the natural
wasting and caying in of the banks during the last
three or four years Of war; which rendered
proper attention to them impossible; and partly TO
their being cut from time to time in the prosecution Of
hostilties II is probable that not less than ten mil
lions of acres of the richest portions Of the South
West, capable Of producing bale (iOOb.) of cotton
TO the acre have thus been flooded that they for
this year. can at best barely subsist their scattered
wasted inhabitants, instead Of adding, as they might
some $50 600 900 to the exportable produce of the
country.
Tho inhabitants of the Yazoo Valley have, therefore
appealed TO Congress for aid. They are not
represented in either House; they are utterly without
capital Or the means of obtaining it; but they want
TO 90 10 work aud enrich their country; and they will
if they can be protected against the devastating
foods which they wholly unable to shut out.
Congress having decided to put duty Of five cents
per pound on raw Cotton, must, if only for the
Treauys sake, endeayor to stimulate aud expand the
Cotton Culture. Had S5,COO,OOO been seasonably
expended on the lcyees Of the Mississippi Yazoo and
Red Rivers not less than double the amount would
have been added to the revenue from this years pro.
duct Of Cotton alone; and the good thus effected
would have endured and borne fruit for years-much
of il forever. Assuming that The cotton tax viii
have to be borne for FIVE years, $4,000, 900 ex
pended leyees this year. and $1,000 900 per annum
for the next four--S9 OOO 600 in all-woud return TO
the Treasury not less than 500, 100000 beside adding
immensely to the development aud expansion of our
National wealth.
We beg Congress not to adjourn without consider
ing and acting on This subject. Grant that it is too
late to effect anything this year; if not acted on now,
Il VIII be too late to provide protection for The indus
try Of next year. But, if Congress should now act,
we may be certain Of very large extension Of planted
surface next year and at least double crops all the
richest cotton and sugar lands of the prolific South
Wost.

We must record our protest against the arrest Of
any lady who desires to walk our streets in an I'M
fashionable dress Her case is for the social and
public opinion of her sex and ours, perhap5-or the
milliner and tie dres5maker-but not for tho police
officer. The lady who walked up the streets, the
other day, attired in dress which was decent and
comfortable, but out Of the way, was Of course, the
victim OF noisy urchns and male starers; but, if the
peace was disturbed thereby the rabble should have
been held to keep it, aud not she. We judge that the
dress worn by Dr. Mary Walker was not so immodest
a. some worn at fashionable parties, 50 uncomor
able as those which are often caught and draggled
and occasionally take fire and burn their wearers. 1t
was not mans dress and no disguise was attempted
II was, we understand simply substitute Of panta-
lettes for the trailing skirt, and was the fashion DR.
Walker adopted when she tended the SICK and acted
the part of humane physician, and brave and able
woman, during the war.
We trust that no magistrate will be foolish enough
to condemn a lady who wears her dress so WELL or
stulty themselves by making it penal for women TO
he out of fashion which many Of the most intelligent
and least strong-minded" women cannot entirely

The Senate cOntrived yesterday to tack on a num-
Der of expensive amendments to the Legislative
Appropriation bill. Among them we note an increase
of salary to the Treasurer of the United States and to
the Commissioner of Public Buildings; an appropra-
ton of about $4,000 year for private secretary,
shorthand reporter (of speeches and clerks for The
President; new Assistant Solicitor to the Treasury
at $1,000 per annumi new clerks for the Attorney
General, &C., &c. In addition to all which the
Senate confirmed its gift of $4,000 to Mr. McCul-
loch to be distributed at discretion among his en-
ploy6s. The people are expected to foot the bills
without wincing but we think it As well they should
know what they are asked to pay for.

We understand that our Consul-General in Canada
has made demand upon the Canadian Government
for the release of Mr. Kelly of our correspondents
under arrest according to Canada journal, be-
cause Of certain opinions expressed by The TRIBUNE,
and TO be punished an example to all editors in this
country who have opinions upon the Fenian question:
We understand that the principal charge against Mr..
Kelly is that he had in his possession an operaglas'
and notebook. We have no doubt these dangerous
implements would have been found upon the persons
of a dozen other gentlemen who have been watching
the Canadian border for The TRIBUNE, but who thus
far have escaped arrest.
