two-thirds vote; and II they do this the veto
power under President Grant may yet become
power to be respected.
Meantime, we expect some good results In
the South from these late Northern elections.
We expect that the Southern democracy VIII
get that prevailing Southern democratic delu-
sion out of their heads that Seymour and Blar
are to be elected, and win even begin to sus-
pect that the probabilities are in favor OF
Grants election without the aid Of even vote
from the reconstructed States. We expect,
accordingly, very soon, considerable abate-
ment of those disorderly political excite
ments, bloody party collisions and mysterious
assassinations down South, so numerous there
of late as to seriously threaten general reign
of violence. When the lawless Southern des-
peradoes on both sides discover that the Presi-
dental succession is fixed, whatever they may
do they will naturally pause to reflect on their
folly and subside into spirit of mutual tolera-
ton. In every point Of view, North and South,
we look for new ''era of good feeling" under
General Grant. In view of his election we
may say that is already beginning, while in re-
gard to the reign of radicalism we are surely
near the beginning of the end.

/ n. a, ,anish Revolution Taking shape.

tinctlv ar,Oarent in the latest expressions o

is seen in the movem. snt toward Tree trade

probable that the nation will not fall behi
political ideas, but on this subject, feelinA
itself equally in sympathy with the most
advanced ideas Of the age, will tend to o
monarchy Of the most liberal form or for an
absolute republic with the same positive step
with which it moves to religious liberty and
free trade
To nation assuming a new character by
revolution there is certain advantage in having
been the worst governed and most backward of
all civilized communities. With its eyes once
opened by suddenly coming into the full light
of an intellectual age, it can look upon the
image Of its former self only with horror and
loathing, and clings to no darling iniquity of
its ancient system. 1t accepts at once
fully and freely the most advanced ideas
of the age and shapes its life in accordance
with them; and while, perhaps, other nations
that are accepting changes moderately de-
nounce these very ideas as Utopian, 1t makes
them the facts Of its history. Here, for in
stance, only the other day were Spain and
England at such obvious odds by comparison
that Spain was most behind and England most
ahead of European nations; yet to-day Spain
il in advance Of England on such q grand
point as religious freedom. She DEGREES the
abolition of the Jesuit order and the sale of
Church property boldly and broadly, and Eng
land cannot bring herself to cut away that old
ruin, the Irish Church. Nay, Spain is even
in advance of the United States, since che
dare pronounce her faith in free trade and we
still founder on in the great oppression Of
protection to manufacturers.
Prim ia reported from Paris to have made
certain approaches Of friendliness toward
France. II this be true 1t indicates the wise
moderation OF the movement and that the
Spanish leaders know their safety Is In peace.
We cannot see that IL relinquishes the hope of
q republic. II may rather indicate that the
interests in favor Of republic desire to tenn
porze and gain time with the ruler whom they
instinctively feel would be most against that
end.

By special telegram through the Atlantic
cable we received at late hour last night
news report from England, short and decisive
in words, exceedingly interesting in character,
and which win be likely to produce pleasing
alteration in the tone of the relations, official
and by public sentiment, existing between the
United States and Great Britain.
Minister Reverdy Johnson and Lord Stanley
are in diplomatic harness and actively
at work. BY negotiation they have almost
completed the draft of an Anglo-American
naturalization treaty measure, in which the
doctrine Of the United States with respect to
the right Of foreigners to transfer their ale
glance on choosing citizen domicile under
our flag is fully maintained-a point
which involves, we presume, the concession by
England Of her claim to hereditary fealty on
the part of those born on her soil, and their
children, which she asserted 80 persistently
from the period of our Revolution to the time
of the war of 1912, and has retained in quasi
allegiance since. 1t will also remove all those
chances of anxious legal complications in fami-
lies with respect to property bequeathed or
coming by Inheritance within the British do
minions to former subjects or their descend
ants who were or are now American citizens.
The two statesmen took up the question Of
the Alabama claims next after the subject Of
naturalization, and were engaged in consid-
Grafton of Minister Johnson's bill Of charges
yesterday afternoon, our special correspondent
assuring us that it twill be arranged soon,"
subject to the ratification of the two govern
ments. A full settlement may, indeed, take
place at the Johnson Stanley banquet in Liver
pool next week, the footing up of the account
being completed at the fountain head Of the
original injury.
This approach to an international entente
appears to have rendered John Bull amiable
and generous to all men; for we are also told
| that Mr.. Burlingame, as head Of the Chinese
Embassy, was gaining friends daily in London,
and that the attacks made at first by portion
Of the British press on the China-American
| treaty and mission have ceased. Reports had
been, indeed, received from all parts of Europe
to the effect that the Chinese diplomats will
enjoy warm reception, not only at the diff
ferent courts, but from the peoples; so that we
are able to set forth in our columns to-day
TANGIBLE proofs Of the commencement of very
b,althy revolution both in our foreign diplo-
maov and vast and increasing commercial in
terest,s abroad.

At the appointed time yesterday NJ. qudso,
crickesers were on hand at the grounds at the
City, but the forbdding state OF the weA
prompted those present to seek the comfortable o..
side in the clubhouse rather than attempt any
display on the field. IL will be readily
understood that were very few present as
spectators and this fact also tended TO
dampen the ardor OF the knights OF the willow.
Shortly after two O'Clock, however, the All England
Eleven went TO tho wickets, Smith and Jupp leading
OF against the bowling OF Charles Newhall and Nor
ley. The ground was In such condition as TO be
deprived OF all life and render the ball snv and
most difficult to he nelded. George Wright gave
Jupp his Quletus by five catch at long leg on OF
Norleys bowling, and when the stumps were drawn
Griffth and smith were ut the bat and the score
standing at n. The first wicket fell for six runs
only. Should the weather he favorable the game
will be commenced to-day at eleven o'clock II not
then IL will be counted draw.
On Friday the Eleven will have base bali trial.
and ON Saturday they will probably leave for home.

The Eject In Wall Street Of the Late EIec-
lions,

The Eject In Wall Street Of the Late Flee.
Wal street, which had calculated upon re-
publican successes at the recent elections, was
taken by surprise yesterday morning when the
returns from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
met the eager eyes Of the people; for the re-
suits were even more fattering to the rspubli-
can party than had been anticipated, and the
great majority appeared gratihed accordingly.
Gold had been so much depressed previously
that it did not respond to the news as largely
as it would have otherwise done, for it failed
to touch . lower point than 1864; but the
real barometer Of public feeling was the
market for government securities, which ad
vanced steadily throughout the day under
larger investment demand than has been
known on any previous day for many months
past. Orders were telegraphed from all parts
of the country for five-twenties, and those who
had before timidly held back, waiting to be re-
assured by political events, came forward
boldly as buyers. This is the beginning OF .
fresh demand for our national securities, which
promises to carry them higher than they have
been for years, and considering their cheap
ness, in comparison with all the other stocks
dealt in on the stock exchange, the margin for
rise is wider than may be generally supposed.
Confidence in tho public credit has been
greatly strengthened by the reassuring voice
of the people Of the States in ques-
ton, uttered through the ballot box, and
the bears in the Gold Room have for
once q good argument upon which to base
operations for decline in the premium, so
far as it is influenced by political causes. The
election of Grant is now regarded as a GER
tainty, and all fears of Reputation schemes
are set at rest. Our securities abroad will
respond to the improved tone Of public feeling
here, and they will be in greater demand than
ever for Investment in Europe. Even specu-
lation in railway shares seemed to derive
fresh impetus from the news, and prices ex-
perienced further rise, although they were
far above the range Of real values before, and
men congratulated each other upon the result
as if they had received personal benefit
The rallying cry now should be, Down with
the gold and up with the bonds!
