maintain the prestige Of French influence in
European affairs. At that period the map Of
Europe was changed by his tacit permission, il
not by his active Intervention, and all through
he exercised restraining power.
With regard to Spain we shall find, proba-
bly,, that Napoleon has had more to do with
the revolution and will have in control
ling 1t than appears at present AT all
events, If it should go beyond his wishes he
will know how to shape his policy, both at
home and IN Spain, to suit the circumstances.
He is not like the Bourbons, who learn nothing
by experience; nor like the stupid Bourbon
politicians of this country, who cannot adapt
themselves to the changing times but he
moves with the age and inevitable events.
What he cannot prevent or avert he falls in
with and turns TO account. This is the high
est type Of craftsmanship and that which all
the great statesmen of the day follow. We see
1t remarkably displayed throughout the whole
history Of Napoleons reign; we see it in Bis
marck, Won Beust, Of Austria; Disraeli and in
all the leading men of the times. We shall not
be surprised, then, as we said, if the Emperor
makes the liberal reforms in France spoken Of
as necessary concession to tho movement
now going on in the Old World, and By that
means perpetuates his power at home and over
the affairs Of Europe.

taking Senior Marfon with her, and the latest
request of her forgiving subjects, the last
official communication between Spain
and the last of the Bourbons, was to
the effect that she might return to Madrid
provided she left the obnoxious Minister
in the fortress. Her Majesty possessed,
however, the virtue Of constancy inverted.
Like true daughter Of her house she did not
look backward. Marfori remained at San
Sebastian, they turned their faces to France,
entered the gates of the Castle of Pau in
company, and there prepared fox Rome and
whatever the Pope may advise.
Henri de Rochefort, sharp thovn in the
side of Napoleon, could scarcely let slip the
opportunity fpainting the situation in his Lam
torne, if merely as fresh means of wounding
his Majesty through his royal and diplomatic
guests. So we presume that the Spaniard,
seeing the gates of the Quirinal and the stool
of the Papal confessional before him, thought
he might as well come nearer to eternity after
his own fashion, and challenged him. The
Frenchman has been wounded. Had he been
killed perhaps the French Emperor would, in
his peculiar system Of philosophy, have mair-
tanned that ''out Of evil cometh good"
THE ARMS SEIZED AND THROWN OVER
BOARD IN ARKANsAs.-It transpires that the
arms which it was suspected were intended for
the use of negro conspirators and which were
seized the other day and thrown overheard on
the steamer Hesper, below Memphis, actually
belonged to the Governor Of Arkansas and to
United States Senator Mcdonald, of that State.
These gentlemen had bought them, expecting
that an appropriation would be made by the
Legislature to purchase them. But they must
now think that, in the present unsettled state OF
things in the South and Southwest, Arkansas is
an unpromising field for speculations Of this
kind.

GENERAL BLAIR on GENERAL GRANT.-A
recent speech Of General Blair, in which he
ventured the opinion that IL elected President
General Grant would never come out of the
White House alive, has been seized upon by
the republican press and construed as meaning
that another Booth would be found, If needed,
to give the quietus to Grant that was given to
Lincoln. II appears, however, that General
Blair's idea was that General Grant, in get
ting into the White House, viii play the part of
dictator, and as dictator will remain there
to the end OF his natural life. This explanation
makes the remark Of General Blair compare
lively harmless; but still we believe that he is
very much mistaken; for as heretofore, so
hereafter, we dare say, General Giant will be
found the model of law-abiding and law
obeying servant of the people. In his glorious
record upon this text lies his greatest strength
among the people. lie is not the man to go
behind the law, or to expound the law, or to
make the law as an executive officer; but as he
has been, he Is and will be, the man to take,
respect and execute the law as he finds IL, and
to come or 90 as the law may require.

A telegram from London, forwarded through
the Atlantic cable, reports that Seior Marfori,
Cabinet minister, the most constant adviser,
latest friend and Intendant of Affairs Of the ex-
Queen Isabella of Spain and M. Henri de
Rochefort, French editor, philosopher and
peripatetic politician, had met in a duel, and
that during the deadly combat the Frenchman
was seriously If not mortaly wounded. We
are not informed where the duel took place,
and as the parties are both in exile, the one
from Spain and the other from France, il would
perhaps have been difficult to ascertain the
exact spot of the encounter. That Marfori
and Rochefort did seek to slay one or the
other in person, and to maintain themselves as
honorable" men by silcncing all assertions to
the contrary through the agency of bullet
''from an old gun barrel" we have little doubt.
The causes Of provocation were numerous and
pointed as applied to Mariori the channel Of
their conveyance to the people, with the dis
position to make them known, ample and
active on the part Of Rochefort.
The duel and its exciting causes will re-
main, no doubt, on record as prominent sub
ject Of modern scan. mag. Senior Marfori, as
our readers viii rccollect, held an elevated
position in the councils of the ex-Qucen
Isabella. During his attendance at court he
raised up many personal enemies, and among
them some who did not hesitate to assert that
In his attention to the duties Of his Office he

The situation on the Rio de In Plata.

The Situation ON the Rio de In Plata.
The news by the steamer South America,
published in to-day's HERALD, is highly favor
able to the allies, both in a military and
politicalscnse. There is but one drawback, tina I
the sources from which it all comes is exclu-
sively in the allied interest. The Brazilian
iron-clads had gone up to the mouth of the
Tebicuari and shelled the right bank most Wig
orously before the commander learned that
the Paraguayans had some time previously
withdrawn to Villeta. The allied advance,
under Marshal Osorio, crossed the Tebicuar,
and the whole army was preparing to follow.
General Gelly y Obcs has published the sworn
testimony Of Paraguayan officer who had
been taken prisoner on the left bank Of the
Tebicuari. The whole story Of the atrocities
alleged to have been committed by President
Lopez comes from this captured officer. In
our news columns will be found full account
OF the horrors said to have been inflicted on
even foreigners in Asuncion. Judging from
the manner in which the allies have been all
along humbugged by Paraguayan deserters, we
are disposed TO withhold credence from this
story for the present; but the allied press has
been making the most of it, and the impression
created in Brazil Is that the war will speedily
end.

The work of the national regeneration oil
Spain is still being carried on in temperate,
firm, conciliatory and hopeful manner, and ap-
parently with excellent discretion on the part
of the Provisional Junta in elioiting EXPIRE
sions of the popular viii as to the form of
governmental rule for the future. 1t is quite
evident that the mind Of the people inclines
towards federal republic, the democrats hay
ing, indeed, already declared for it, Election
tickets are being arranged, the clerical
party and moderates having agreed to
vote for the same candidates for seats
in the constituent Cortes The United
States telegram of recognition was published
and extensively circulated. 1t is evident,
however, that there is strong party pledged
to support monarchy and that its leaders
are considerably Influenced in such direction
by Napoleon. The Junta despatched cir
cular yesterday to the foreign Powers in de-
fence of the sovereignty Of the people, and
seeking generous support and friendly rela-
tons for their country. In this paper the
members say of the shape Of the new govern
ment, ''if the example of the United States is
not followed the friends of freedom need feel
no encouragement )" and again, mo foreign
Intervention is apprehended' Universal suf-
frage has been accorded to the Spaniards SO
there is little doubt that they will soon set
their country onward in renewed career of
grandeur, combined with happiness for all.

Too MUoH FOR JoHSsoN.-It seems to be
understood that the hungry hangers-on around
the White House have got the President with
them In favor OF new democratic ticket by
talking Johnson, and the Presidential election
comes or on the Sd of November. This is too
much for the telegraph, and therefore, too
much even for Johnson.

Tho Difference Between Native virginians
aud tho Carpet. ggers.


The Richmond radical organ has just dis
covered that ga republican in Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan, &c., may
be perfectly orthodox in any one of these
States, but in Virginia he may be political
hereto, and that he may carry to Virginia all
the political prejudice against the negro which
he held In his own State or when at home.
The organ we quote regards it as s'no wonder
that these gentlemen coming from their homes,
where negro suffrage is not tolerated, should
be Mortified not only at negro suffrage, but at
the still greater political monstrosity of allow
ing negroes to hold office. The fact exists,
and cannot be denied, that the prejudice of
these gentlemen against the political rights Of
the colored men are as strong ii not stronger,
than those of native Virginians who have been
raised up with the colored people from their
earliest infancy" This is precisely the argu-
ment the HERALD has been using in regard to
the true friends of the blacks ever since the
controversy commenced We have commended
all along that the Northern adventurers now
overshadowing the South were cheats and
AuHou6o, oHu WCic Ouiy uSiuS Tic UoChS Va
the negroes to carry themselves into political
power. 1t seems to have taken long time for
this chief radical organ in Virginia to discover
this fact and to learn that such white native
born virginians as Henry A. Wise, John
Minor Bolts, Judge Alexander Rives and
others, who have been familiar with the wants,
necessities and capacities of the negro from
childhood, are the proper persons in whom the
colored population can repose confidence.
Now that this fact has been acknowledged by
the radicals in Virginia we expect to see
similar admission from States beyond her
borders, and, finally, the truth generally
avowed that the question of the political
status Of the black race can be left, with more
security to that race, to the judgment and
honor of the native whites than to all the
carpet-baggers and Northern Jeremy bidders
who can be gathered together from the Aroos-
took to the mouth of the Ohio.
