The Character and Development or the
spanish Revelation.


The Spanish revolution has evidently upset
all the preconceived ideas Of the rest of the
world with regard to the Spaniards. There il a
great deal of speculation and comparatively little
known about the movement: outside Of Spain.
The British and French prcss-aud indeed,
the press generally throughout the worlds
foundering in uncertainty as 20 the character
and development OF the revolution. Nearly
all the newspapers in Europe, and particularly
those OF England underrate the republican
character Of the movement. Looking at it
from monarchical point Of view, they are
blind TO many important facts, and do not wish
TO zee anything else than mere change OF
dynasty. The reigniug powers and monarch
lists Of the Old World are afraid Of republic,
or even republican experiment in the PENN
sula. and reason against it. Hence il il dini-
cult to gel at the truth through European
sources.
Whether republic be naug,irated or mon
arcby be restored on such liberal basis as
only would be possible now, the revolution il
democratic and republican in its character and
tendency. u II were the movement of q
dynastic or political faction, or Of some amb-
tious chief, it might he only ephemeral and
shortIived Spain might fall back under
chronic despotsm in one form or another.
And this is the view generally taken OF the
revolution. II is said the Spanish people are
not intelligent or ripe enough for a republic or
broadly liberal institutions. We think the
manner in which the revolution was brough.

great deal of intelligence, elevation Of charac-

whole people. 1t was u grand political earth

The fires have been smouldering for ages,
though seemingly extinct. Their action
reaches back to the time Of Ferdinand and
Isabella. Through all the long period Of
darkness, rnonarchcal and priestly despotism
and national decline the Spaniards have never
forgotten their former greatness and glory, nor
was the love Of liberty ever extinct The
liberal and progressive ideas Of the age have
penetrated the peninsula and quickened the
latent love Of freedom and ambition OF the
people. The corruptions Of the Spanish gov

The Critics ON Mrs. s,coii.-iddon~.

No one who witnessed the debut Of Mrs.
Scott-Siddons on the dramatic stage at the
New York theatre on Monday night can deny
to her the possession of the highest character
Of talent required for the profession which she
has chosen, or rather. we might say, has
accepted as an inheritance. The prestige OF
great name cannot always carry Its owner
triumphantly to success, and especially in an
intelligent community like ours and with an
audience such as welcomed Mrs. Scott-Sid-
dons as Rosalind. There must be something
more than name and an ancestry, identl-
fled though they are with oil that is grand and
glorious in dramatic art, to satisfy truly
critical audience. The genius Of the actress
must sustain the reputation which adheres to
the antecedents OF her family or her success
must become doubtful. Mrs Scott-Siddons
has established her independence in this re-
spect to the extent that she has established by
her native talent claim TO a high position
among the representatives Of dramatic art.
Some Of the critics have endeavored, in COM
promising fashion, to deteriorate from her
general excellence by illusions to her com
parative ignorance of ''stage business, her
s'amateurship" in certain poses and points.
But with remarkable accord they all give
her credit for freshness, sympathetic talent,
delicate conception of the character, an ex-
quisitely modulated voice, "a sunny. breezy
clearness of intellect" and oil the other quail
ties embraced in beauty Of person and grace OF

perfect actress. How absurd, then, TO cavii
at the small apparent defects for which mex
perience on the stage Is admitted to be alone
responsible in view of the manifest genius OF
a woman whose advent among NE must DC
hailed as blessing in this epoch OF the decay
ing legitimate drama. the almost extingulshed
light Of Shaksperian genius, and the construc :
ton upon their ruins Of silly sensational pieces
without purpose, moral or talent, which now
usurp the place Of the true metal upon Tue
boards of so maay Of our theatres.

Indias Fighting Commenced In Earuest.
BY our dispatches from the Plains this
morning 1t will be seen that General Custer.
in command Of the Seventh cavalry, has
achieved decisive victory over . powerful
band of Cheyennes. The affair occurred on
the morning of the 2Sth OF November, (Satur-
day last), at the north fork Of the Wachits
river. One hundred and fifty Indians were
killed and the band essentially crippled, If nos
entirely dispersed. We have to mourn fatal
casualties to two or three gallant officers.
mus mas the winters campaign against our
savage foe been successfully commenced.
auguring well for the policy recommended By
the intrepid General Sheridan, under whose
immediate direction the warfare will be carried
on. 1t is time now that the morbid philan-
thropy which has hitherto shielded these bar
barous tribes from just retribution should
cease and the red demons be made to realize the
power of the government. General Sheridan
will probably continue the campaign In the
same vigorous manner, and when peace il
again concluded with the fighting tribes ID
will be no brief winter day affair, but one tina,
will endure through all seasons.

MEXICAN OUTRAGRs ON AMERICANS.
this mornings HERALD will be found an inte-
resting batch of correspondence from North
western Mexico The burden Of the corre-
spondence consists of tales of outrage perpei
trated chiefly on American citizens. But
Mexicaus of wealth and influence also have
come in for their share Of injury and wrong.
AS if to show her displeasure with the libe-
ralism Of Mexico, nature has swept the west
coast with torrents and tornadoes. In thia
she has shown lesson to statesmen and poll
ticians. Mexico must be swept CLEAN and
everything begun anew.

American Enterprise and the British Press.
The British press begins to be astonished al
American enterprise. 1t used to be COM
mon saying on the other side that we talked
much but did little. Our late war made an
end of this nonsense. All Europe learned
that we could do all we said and little more3
And now that our gigantic war is ended, and'
the Pacific Railroad, one of the grandest, il
not the grandest, enterprise in the interests Of
civilization which this or any age has
witnessed, they are naturally enough filed
with amazement and wonder. Great Britain
sees that this railroad, which is but one Of
many which will at no distant day sweep from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, is going to revolu-
tionize the commerce ofthe world. Its inevitable
tendency will be to make us the great central
nation of trade and commerce. Nothing can
prevent this but grand European enterprise
on a scale of similar grandeur. There is no
reason why British skill and wealth should not
construct and why the enterprise Of Europe
should not encourage grand central railroad
which should cross Europe and plunge into
the hearts of Hindostan and China. There is
no natural obstacle which engineering skill
backed by wealth could not overcome. Com
petition is the soul of trade. We shall NOT
lose but gain by such an enterprise. We have
set them an example, and the time is not far
distant when similar examples will be multi
Piled The railroad, more than the sea, must
DO the carrying trade Of the future.

The Health Of the Emperor Napoleon,

II is curious fact that whenever any trouble
arises in France. when there is difficulty
with the Chambers or witlfstbe press. or when
the elections threaten to be uniavorabe, di-
rectly an attempt is made to awaken the sym
pathies of the French people by getting up the
cry that the health of the Emperor is bad and
that his life is in danger 50 frequent have
been those cries of late and so generally have
they been found 10 be false that we have ceased
to have any faith in them. The rumor this
time has been somewhat persistent. 1t may
be true or il may be as false az the others; we
know not. u is well, however, to bear in
mind that the Emperor is over sixty years Of
age, and that in the nature of things there is no
reason why the present rumor in regard to his
health should not be true. The failing OF the
health of the Emperor will give life to the fac
tons. Who is to rule France after Napoleon
III. is a question quite as difficult to answer
now as IL has been any time these last seven
teen years France submits to the Emperor.
II does not al all follow that she must submit
to his son or to any regency that may rule In
his sons name.
