Poor Spain.

The ambitious aspirants to power in
Spain have let loose the demon of revolu-
ton, and now they are unable to restrain
him. This is but repetition of history.
1t is not improbable that some Of the origi
nal promoters of the revolution may lose
their heads before order is reinstated.
GARIBALDI, and MAzzINI, and KossUTH,
are, as usual, so obliging as to advise the
Spaniards what to do This is very kind
Of these disturbers of national peace-men
whose wild and visionary theories unfit
them to control the destiny of anything
human-men who, if installed in power,
would be the most oppressive of tyrants-
and whose discomfort arises from their dis
appointment in essays to obtain power in
their own lands.
Europe is cursed with vast army of
followers of these and other Missionaries.
There may be some providential work for
them but it is hard to imagine what such
men were sent on earth for. AS far as men
can see, the philosophers of the French
revolution achieved about all those of this
day can accomplish, which was to open the
eyes of the world to the horrors brought
upon makind by those who set at defiance
all law-human and divine-and erect in
stead the misrule of anarchy, with its de-
mons perilling life, destroying property, and
banishing peace wherever they 60. But
the world is prone to forget these things
and close its eyes upon the terrible lessons
it receives. Therefore it may be neces-
sary to repeat the lessons to REOPEN those
eyes as often as they are shut to events in
history which should never be forgotten.

"We are aware that a recent decision OF
Chief Justice Chase would seem to sustain
the notion in some minds that the govern
ment of Virginia, which held the capital
during the war, being the de tacto Govern
ment, the Alexandria dynasty was inVa-
lid."-Enqurer.
Mr.. CHASE doubtless holds that the Alex
andria government was q government dc
j,tre and the Richmond government 60
vernment de facto. The fortunes OF war
put an end to the latter, and installed the
other in its stead. A different result would
have made the Richmond government 60
vernment de jure and the Alexandria 60
vernment government de tacto. Our
people should be treated just asif the eVen'
of the war had been the establishment o.
the independence of the Confederate States
that is, of course, so far as the ordinary
transactions between individuals are con-
cerned.

This may or may not be true. 1t derives
some color Of credibility from the recent
rolicy of our Government as q /" real estate

indeed, will have some difficulty in finding
the proper authority to treat with. We
suppose, however, that would be matter
of no great Importance. The unsettled
state of affairs may enable UNCLE SAM to
drive good bargain with somebody-no
matter whom. The title can be made good
with gun.
But this "buying" of land does not be

of acquisition, and will not inspire the ma

The Water Line Through Virginia,

The Water Line Through Virginia.
The telegraphic messages have informed
us Of the presentation before the National
Board Of Trade, at Cincinnati, Of resolu-
tions favoring the water line from the Mis-
sissippi to the Atlantic through Virginia.
The following are the resolutions:
Resolved, That cheap transportation FOR
it's heavy products to the markets OF the
world is not only necessity to sne " ."
but is equally demanded by the oes' INV
rests Of the whole country. ,,.
Resolved, That the most feas,oie P'Hn
to secure this end is to provide direct anu
continuous line of water communica'ioh
between the Mississippi river ana the Az
lantic ocean in latitude favorable 70 the
safe carriage of grain in bulk, and yet COM
naratively free from distractions by frosts !;
that such communication can be readily
secured by the Ohio, Kanawha, and James
rivers. through Virginia and West Virginia,
TO the Atlantic ocean near the mouth OF the
Chesapeake bay.
RESOLVED, That said line Of water COM
munication is work of great national I'M
rortance, and as such is entitled to receive
such aid from the general Government as
will secure its completion at the earliest
possible period.
Resolped, That committee be hereby
appointed to memorabilia the Senate ana
House of Representatives of the United
States in behalf of this body, and ask them
to take the subject Of said water line INTO
favorable consideration at an early day.,
and to grant such aid as may be necessary
to secure its early completion"
These were offered to the Convention on
Monday last. On Tuesday Mr.. MONROE
addressed the Convention in their behalf
and at the conclusion of his remarks they
were, on motion, referred to special COM
mittee, with instructions to report upon
them at the next annual meeting of the
Board, to be las already announced) held in
this city. The following is the committee
appointed by the Chair for this purpose
Mr.. Porter, of Louisville; Mr.. Taylor, OF
st. Paul: Mr.. Stanard, of st. Louis; Mr..
Burwell, of New Orleans; Mr.. Topp, OF
Memphis: Mr.. Monroe, of Dubuque; Mr..
Gano, of Cincinnati; MIR. Brown, OF fort-
land Mr.. Converse, of Boston; Mr..
Hipcken, of New York; Mr.. Witherill, of
Philadelphia: Mr.. Parr, of Baltimore; Mr..
Hughes, of Norfolk; Mr.. Darlington, of
Richmond; and Mr.. Mum, Of Chicago.
This committee is well distributed among
the principal cities of the North. We sup
pose the absence from it Of men from other
southern cities may be owing to the absence
Of representatives from those cities in the
Board. 1t is probably just as well that the
question is left to the consideration mainly
of northern men. The arguments in behalf of
the great line are so forcible that they can
not be overcome by anything like prejudice.
The decision Of the committee must be
favorable to it; and their decision will he
all the more Influential because of their
being northern men.

Cuha-It Needs Atten tiou.


The revolution in Cuba keeps pace with
that in Spain, and very naturally. The
people of Cuba, from their situation, so re-
mote from the mother country, have had
but feeble sympathies with it. They were
too much isolated and had too little partici-
patton in the Government to keep bright
their attachments to Spain and their patri-
otto devotion to the Government. There
has been q revolutionary spirit long Turk
ing in their hearts. The upsetting of the
home government offered the favorable OPP
portunity for giving that spirit rein; and
the opportunity was seized.
The Cuban revolution has progressed
steadily until the Government has aban-
doned half the island and concentrated its
forces in the western half, with Havana for
its base. One-ffth only (about 0,000) of
the slave population is found in that part
Of the island in the hands Of the "rebels; )"
and it is understood that some Of the rebel
planters have set their slaves free that they
may 60 into the rebel army. The noun
famous portion Of the island is occupied
by these rebels. The mountains give such
protection to them as to counterbalance the
superiority Of force opposed to them. From
their position they will continue their as
saults upon the Government, which must
daily lose moral force from the disorder which
prevails in Spain, and more especially
from the disturbing influences Of the agita-
tions for abolition and the stirring up of
the slaves to insurrection.
The Spanish power in Cuba is therefore
about to end; for amidst the civil strife which
prevails at home it is not probable that forces
i can De sent to bolster up the authority of the
b General IN Cuba. After that island cuts
loose from Spain, what then If left to
itself there will be little hope of order and
security. Revolution after revolution vii,
occur, and the prosperity Of that grand
island will be blighted as have been the re.
sources of all the other islands where reyo.
lutions have prevailed. Is the Government

A QUESTION IMPORTANT TO THE CHEsA-
PEAKE AND ONO RAILRoAD.-TheW wheeling
Legislature is discussing the policy of the
taxation of railroad property by the coun-
ties through which the roads pass. The In
telligencer says:
GIVE mentioned yesterday that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad, about which Mr..
Ferguson, of Cabell, feels 80 much solicit
tude, is expressly exempted from taxation
by it's charter until its net profits amount
to ten per cent. That gentleman yesterday,
in the course of Mr.. Hervey's speech, sug-
gested whether such sn exemption is not in
violation of the Constitution, and therefore
void. If the opinion of q constitutional
lawyer would be considered Of any value
on this point, we may say our own belief is
that all such provisions in West Virginia
charter are not worth the paper they are
printed on, and will not stand Judicial test.
But our opinion has nothing to do with
the position occupied by Mr.. Ferguson
in this matter. One of two things is
certain: The provision referred to in
the charter of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Company is constitutional and binding,
and vests the company with available
right, or it is violative of the Constitution,
and therefore void. If it is in accordance
with the Constitution, then, as we showed
yesterday, Mr.. Ferguson's road is amply
provided for, and needs no additional legis-
lative protection. If it is void, it is for the
same reason that the legislation Mr.. Fer
guson now advocates would be void for the
principle involved in this exemption of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and in that
advocated by Mr.. Ferguson for all roads is
identical. And if this kind of legislation
is null, why pile nullity on top of nullity,
Mr.. Ferguson can take his choice of posi-
tons but no matter which he chooses, he
comes out at the same hole"
