TiiE SPANISH REyoLUTIoy.-It appears from
our cable news that important changes have
taken place in the provisional government in
Madrid. Despatchc- dated October 8 informed
us that the new Cabinet lad boen formed, with
Marshal Serraao as President; Mados, Minis
ter Of Finance; Aguirre, Minister OF Justice;
Olozaga, Minister Of Foreign Affairs. 1t now
appears that Aguirre is President and thas
Serrano Is appointed Genoral-in-Chief Of the
army. kilograms dated In Madrid on the 9Th
instant state that Generals Prim and Serrano
had been requested by the Junta to take charge
Of the government pending the assembling Of
Cortes, and that Espartero and the Count OF
Cheste give their support to the provisional
arrangement. The majority of the people are
said to be decidedly in favor of republic.
Olozaga has declined position in tho new
Cabinet. Prim reached Madrid yesterday.
These conflicting reports only show that even
at headquarters matters have not yet settled
down into perfectly stable condition.

General Mcclellan and tho Democracy.

General Mcclellan and tho Democracy.
The democratic jubilee on Monday night was
. great success in point Of numbers, enthusi-
asm, transparencies, Chinese lanterns, Roman
candles, brass bands, torches, ragamufins,
fuss and flummery. 1t was success even in
this largely democratic city as political de !.
monstration, and all attempts of the opposition
party press to decry 1t are absurd. Ncverthe-
less, tho democratic leaders are not wholly sat
isfled with its results, and for good and sufH-
cient reasons. Their great object was to avail
themselves of the return of General Mcclellan
to enlist him actively in the campaign, and to
make use of his loyal antecedents to nullify
the unfavorable record Of Seymour during the
war and tho recent revolutionary expressions
OF Blair. They expected Mcclellan to preside
at their meeting, and they looked to his pres
ence as worth many thousand votes to them in
tho approaching test elections In Pennsylvania
and the West. But the leader Of the Potomac
army declined to appear at the great Tammany
gathering and signifed his determination not
to take any active part In the campaign. He
addressed letter to the Executive Committee,
it is true, signifying his intention to support
the democratic ticket as q private citizen; but
his communication is warm endorsement OF
the republican candidate and o severe rebuke
to those stupid copperhead organs that have
been abusing General Grant as q drunkard
and assailing his military reputation ever since
the contest commenced.
General Mcclellan writes like o soldier and
gentleman. He pays the highest tribute to
General Grant for the great services he has
rendered to the country, but objects to the
radical policy as "a continuation Of strife" In
this opinion large majority of the people will
coincide but their confidence In Grant Is sufii-
cient to assure them that measures Of violence
and vengeance will meet with no countenance
from him, but that his administration will be
one Of conservatism, Cancellation and peace.
They will elect him as the natural opponent Of
the extreme men Of both sections upon his
own plain platform-''Let US have peace.
| The ruflanly attacks made upon him by the
silly copperhead organ in this city have only
served to enlist the people more heartily In
his cause. Had the campaign been from the
first conducted by the democracy In the spirit
that breathes through McClellan's letter they
might to-day have been in o more hopeful
position before the country but 'Iittle Macs
excellent communication has the misfortune
apparently inseparabls from all Its author un.
dertakes-it comes too late.

ground without the Intervention Of the Coro-
ner. The husband, who had tho money secured
in the wlll-the freedom of whose actions was
embarrassed by a wife too evidently in the
way-and who felt over this wife's remains in
the first instance only a restless anxiety to
know that she was really dead, and who gave,
as accounting for her death in the neighbor-
hood, reason "a 10 doubt knew TO DC iaise'
could only be satisfied" WI @feebie-mindeu
doctor had furnished him with certl..~~ ate OF
death that would prevent immediate inquiry.
Here are circumstances enough to puzzle jury
sorely, if they feel disposed to set this man at
large merely because the chemist does not find
in her stomach enough morphine to cause
death, especially as morphine that caused death
could not by any possibility be found in the
stomach.

REACTION IN CoNNECrICUr.-T town cleo
tions in Connecticut on Monday last show
decided reaction in favor Of the republicans
since last spring. 1t is useless for the demo-
Gratis to say there is nothing in these local
elections or that they only reflect the senti-
ments Of the people upon local questions with
out regard to national topics. In crisis like
the present, on the eve, as we are, of mo-
mentous Presidential election, these little signs
indicate the bent of the popular sentiment
upon the great issues of the hour. The great
republican gain Of fourteen hundred in the
city Of New Haven is especially significant.
Altogether, we are bound to take this result In
~-----n-~s tha first manifestation Of the.
approach Of that immense tidal wave which
will sweep over the whole country in favor Of

Reaction in the South in Favor OF Gen
oral Grant.

Reaction In the South in Favor OF Gem
cral Grant.
We give to-day an article from q stanch
democratic paper, published in Louisville, KY,
advising the Southern people not to act too
rashly in view of the election Of General Grant
to the Presidency; but to take the situation
philosophically, satisfied that what they con-
slider will be the rule Of q despotism will be
better than the rule of mob. 1t is quite evil
dent that the Southern press, as well as the
Southern leaders generally, are beginning to
realize the fact that General Grant will be
elected, and are putting their houses in order
accordingly. This sentiment is spreading in
Virginia, where General Grant is regarded as
an object Of 40 such hideous mien as they have
hs"n "':.iuring him. There w. ~. no,,,,o,.na :,
cast aside and IN. "aoOle are beginning to turn
their attention to railroad ana commercial en-
terprises, to local, agricultural and other i'm
provements so that we may in brief period
again see this fine old Commonwealth, shorn,
perhaps, of a portion of her broad domain, but
still the 'Italy of this Continent" bloom and
prosper as she has in her palmy days. In
North Carolina we notice that the probabilities
of Grants election are not creating so much
alarm as was exhibited some time ago,
and that quite lately prominent demo-
crat and distinguished Confederate off,
Ger have come out in his favor. In
fact throughout the South, instead Of the
planters adopting the advice of some silly peo-
pie and abandoning their plantations and
homes in case of Grants election, wiser coun-
sells are prevailing, and they are beginning to
think that that event will not bring SO much
of q shower after all. Upon one thing we
think our Southern friends may rely, and that
Is, in case contest should arise as to which
race shall have the supremacy in the South
and General Grant is called upon to decide,
Sambo will have to 60 to the wall Altogether,
we believe it would be well for the South to
regard General Grant rs friend, mediator
and paciicator, rather than ON enemy, des-
pot and destroyer.

Pushing telegraph Enterprise to tho East.
The cable news from Europe informs us that
the new deep submarine telegraph direct from
Malta to Alexandria, Egypt, had been success
fully laid. This Is vast Improvement upon
the former telegraphic connection, and will
save great deal of time In communications to
and from Egypt, India and the East generally.
The British are pushing telegraph enterprise
In that direction with all their might with 0
view to reach China and every part of Asia,
so as to have control over the news and mar
kets and to monopolize the profits Of telegraph
ing. We learn from good authority that the
parties interested in the Atlantic cable, and
even some Americans, are aiding these efforts
to give England monopoly Of the telegraphs,
news and markets Of the whole of Eastern
Asia. Is 1t not time that our government,
merchants and people walked up to the impor-
lance Of these movements The proper, best
and direct course for telegraphic communica-
tion with China, Japan and the ports Of Asia
bordering the Chinese seas and facing the Pa
cifc Ocean is to America and from America to
Europe. 1t would be shorter, quicker and
cheaper. The East India Telegraph Company,
which is an American company, has the privi-
lege from China to lay cables all along the
Chinese coast from Canton to Shanghae,
o distance Of nearly nine hundred miles,
and connecting all the principal ports and
trading centres Of the empire. This company
is now preparing to accomplish that highly
important object. A proposition Is be-
fore Congress, and we believe was sub
mitted during the last session by Mr..
Collins, OF Russian telegraph fame, and
his associates, to connect the Pacific coast Of
the United States with China and Japan by
telegraph lines and cables by the way Of
Alaska, the Aleutian islands and Kamschatka
The route is perfectly practicable and through
our own territory great part Of the distance.
No one cable would be required more than five
to six hundred miles In length. The climate
and all other conditions are favorable. But
we are too slow about the matter. These
American enterprises should be pushed vigor-
ously. We have every advantage In our
favor for making this country the centre Of
telegraphic communications between Asia and
Europe; but we may lose much BY delay and
give England monopoly Of that which should
belong to us. We call the attention Of Con-
gress, our merchants and capitalists to these
significant facts.

II VIII be seen that the contest had so far been
very even the vicsstudes OF the weather having
acted impartially towards the contestants. Having
got completely round o splendid race ensuod II
was almost such breeze as suited both yachts ana

Bank and Staten Island. Unfortunately the
wind now began 10 die out. Up TO thA
time the Lois had gained lite and In pointing to-
wards the Narrows had gained considerably. She
was proceeding gayly on her course, but when
ing Staten Island light she became almost becaimed.
The Mystic, however, still moved slowly on and
gradually lessened the distance, and when near tho
mouth Of the Narrows slowly glided past. Darkness
had now set In, there was not breath OF wind and
the prospect was oomy In the extreme. 10 ail
