Three or Four Millions, making Specie abun-
dant in the market, giving the gold gamblers
an extra load to carry, and sensibly appreci-
atng the value of our National Currency. II
there be a reason for not doing this, we can
not surmse it. True, we have been told that
the gold gamblers and Spectators for the
"rise" " would thereupon combine and put the
premium on Gold up to 70; but, as we
see that said premium is regulated by
the price of our bonds in London, and
as we do not believe the price of our
gold-bearing Five-Twenties can be forced
down to 60 in the London Stock Market, we
do not believe one word of it, We believe
those bonds would rise rather than fall If
Sixty Millions of our Debt were thus paid of;
and we are quite willing to see the Fifty
Millions of Gold shipped to Europe, if Sixty
Millions of our bonds should in consequence
be brought home and cancelled.
Congress, we trust, is about to revise our
entire system of Finance. We will hope that
it will somehow end this wasteful piling up OF
over One Hundred Millions of Coin IN the
Federal Treasury.

Some days ago the Southern papers printed
n circumstantal account of an outrage commit
ted at Ship Island, by negro soldier,
upon the daughter of Gen. Mower. IL
was said that the offender was at once
tried and sentenced to be shot, but that
he was finally put into sack, stabbed 10
death, and thrown into the sea. The Copper
head journals told Gen. Mower that he had
now practical illustration of his doctrine OF
negro equality, and SO on. But it seems there
is now much doubt whether the story was
true, and the newspapers are giving various
explanations more or less pertinent. Ihe
frankest and coolest of these we find in Ihe
Mobile Tribune, which has the grace to say
NE repu6hshed The account Of he ship Island hoFTor

tbe people Of the North may see that tine Irghl lep
rosy with which many OF them are striving 10 act tne
south will spread over the bosoms OF their own wives anu
daughters"
This precious confession gives the key to ten
thousand lying reports of negro outrages with
which the Secession press has teemed for the
past two or three years. They are exaggerated
aud often wholly invented simply for polt-
"ical purpose"

THE CASE BEFORE THE SENATE.

The Impeachment proceedings ended yester
day, and the case was submitted to the Senate
A verdict may be rendered at any hour
although it is not expected for few days
There will probably be a full conference
among the Senators. A rule permits brief
speeches, and we presume many Senators will
take advantage of it. All the conversation
will be formal. The mind of the Senate is
made up, and any delay is technically incident
to a verdict.
We see no reason to doubt this judgment.
The Republican party has taken the response
biity Of Impeacment, and the Republican Sena-
tors have committed themselves to every point
involved in the discussion To presume that any
Republican will deliberately vote to acqut Mr..
johnson is to assume that his course hitherto
has been fraud. The cant we hear about the
responsibility of an oath" is absurd. Every
Senator has acted, we trust, upon the respOn-
sibility OF his oath and to assume that there is
any additional obligation in Impeachment is to
reflect upon the sincerity of all previous action.
There is no Republican who has not for
years carefully followed and appreciated
the Presidents course. He knows in
what respects Mr.. Johnson has erred
and how far his errors have injured the
country. He has determined just how far the
President has sinned. He has united in re-
proving his manifold SINS To vote in favor of
Impeachment is merely to repeat votes that
have been given hundred times. If it were
wise to assail Mr.. johnson for his policy, it is
just to punish him. His Impeachment is the
logical consequence of Republcanism, and no
Republican can vote against it without making
himself infamous The only alternative is I'm
peachment or Infamy. If Johnson is acquitted,
then the whole course of these men is lie,
and their deception is infamous. They led the
party to this issue. They educated it to the
work. They echoed every denunciatiOn, and
emphasized every criticism of the Presidents
policy. If they have been honest in this, then
Impeachment is as sure as the sun.
1t is because we believe in their honesty that
we rest assured of favorable verdict. Amer
ican history has had one Benedict Arnold.
Money is precious, and sweet is the revenge
of disappointed ambition. We are certain that
neither money nor revenge will seduce any
Senator into an infamous association with
Americas most degraded son.

The Boston Post says the Arkansas Constitu-
ton "disfranchises nearly every white man in
"the State" That is not true, nor anywhere
near true. as The Post well knows. But it is
not the only grievance The Post further COM
plains that it requires every child, black and
"white TO be sent to the public schools ex-
"empts two thousand dollars worth of personal
property from execution, and homestead to
"the value of five thousand dollars. No one
disfranchised can sit as juror" Only think
of it That a State should compel the sending
of children to school Arkansas was up to the
war a true-blue Democratic State, and had a
larger number of voters who could not read
than any other State in the country. The
Radical outrage Of educating the people will
extinguish the last hope of the Democracy
hence the tears of the Boston Pecksnffs.

sword, or to raise the pavilion of Spain !?
Was it natural that the church should have
found no fearless advocate among its mil
lions of dsvotees The movement did net
touch the popular heart, and under no cir
cumstances can we have any faith in the
stability of the reformed government Of
Spein.
We do not believe that the new govern
ment, whether monarchical or republican,
will maintain itself for long, because we
have no confidence in the Spanish people.
They have, with oil their blue blooded dig
nifty, been slaves for generations-slaves 10
king, slaves to church, slaves to custom and
habit. Had they had the spirit of freedom,
had love of knowledge dwelt among them,
liberality and moderation. But no laws
they would mainly have been governed with
can make people free whose minds are
choked with superstitious reverence, and
the spaniards may thank themselves for
much that they have suffered.
The So called revolution is now triumph
ant, yet before long dissensions among
leaders, differences of doctrine, doubt by
one party of all kings, and distrust by
another party of all republics, will disinte-
CRATE the party. There will gradually rise
to the surface the old popular worship of
the king, while the cry against the church,
necessary to liberal administration, will
excite the fears and arouse the doubts of
the nation The unrefecting loyalty to
church and crown is only dormant, and
Spain is not yet far enough advanced 10
know that O monarch may be judged as
other mortals are judged-by his good deeds
and infrmities. Nor is she sufficiently en-
lightened to know that the worship of God
is thing altogether apart from the direc-
tion of secular affairs. The country of the
Cid is not ripe for revolution. No Law, no
constitution, can make her people intelli-
gent and far-seeing in spite Of themselves;
and, until they have learned that revolu-
tion is necessary to their national and indi-
vidual progress, and are taught by their
own thirsting minds the necessity of
change, no new government in Spain will
have any other than an ephemeral e1is-
tence. The handspike and bayonet may
prop up the edifce for awhile; but, unless
its foundations are laid upon the affections
and knowledge of the people, it will soon
crumble in ruins.

ed, has given orders for trial OF this substance
on large scale, so as to ascertain its appica-
bility to ships Of war.
The Queen Of Spain has been providing
against stormy day for some time past so
that in pecuniary point Of view the reVoiu-
ton does not find her unprepared. sne mas
been selling her property at every chance ana
collecting from the treasury every klno OF
claim that coul1 be made up in her behalf, or
that of her family. 1t has been stated that she
has carried off twenty-three millions Of reals
that belongs to the treasury; but this is proba-
bly only an incorrect version of the fact which
We have stated above. Her money has been
mainly invested in London. In this she has
only followed the example Of her mother,
Queen Christina, who left the throne Of Spain
with mighty fortune, and of her cousin, Fran
els II, whom Garibaldi did not drive out OF Ma
pies until he had placed millions enough In
foreign countries to make him one of the rich
men of Europe.
The English papers, in noticing the arrival
of the Chinese embassy in England, have got
ten hold Of MIR. Burlingame's Chinese name,
which is one of the appendages that he did not
exhibit when in this country, and announce
that s'Poo-au-Chen Chino Chi-choong-jen-tach-
en-, an eminent man-who is not responsible
for the fact that his title sounds uncommonly
like prolonged sneeze- has safely arrived at
the Grosvenor Hotel" The translation of this
extraordinary title is Minister of Heavy Re-
sponsibility." The Irishman, Brown, who is
first secretary, is, in Chinese, Bo. Choon-Ah,
and the Frenchman, Deschamps, second secre-
tary, De Chan. 1t is obvious that there is
little pique at foreign mediators between us
and the Chinese" which is the impelling mo-
tive Of the volley of fun and raillery which the
journals let fly at the ambassadors. The Lon
don Standard, which crlticises the mission
more gravely, says: 'There is only one inteni-
gible object in any Chinese mission to England,
and that is to explain and to excuse the non
fulAlment OF the obligations entered into by
China toward England"

The Spanish Uprising.

The Spanish uprising, on account of its
bloodlessr ess, brief duration and sudden
termination, has been improperly compared
to one of those pacific revolutions which
mark the intellectual progression of a peo-
pie, and are the manifestation of latent
desire for advancement. rather than an
effort to depose an obnoxious monarch or
remove hated dynasty. With euch a rev.
olution, the offspring of enlightenment and
knowledge, the uprising in Spain has moth
ing in common. Itis the creature of class,
and not the work of the people.
From beginning to end, the armed move
ment in Spain has been made successful by
the active support of the navy and army of
the kingdom. Soldiers and sailors have
been the apostles of this new dispenSation.
The people at large confined themselves to
taking part in triumphal professions and
crowning conquering heroes. They have
not yet spoken, and it may be long before
luelr moutno oie oPeheu, puI uoue Can De-
lieve that the blind reverence for king and
church which the Spanisrds have cherished
for centuries, has been SO softened that it
would melt away in an hour, or SO under
mined that it could be thrown down in q
day by the hands of party leaders. Was it
natural that the mother of so many of her
subjects should have none to draw ths
