The Cubans resident in Spain at the moment
OF the outbreak Of the revolution against the
government Of the Queen appear to have been
fully alive TO the Importance of the occasion,
as afrording grand opportunity for the
obliteration of the distinctions of citizen class
as between colonial subjects and those resident
near the seat OF authority On the exile of the
Crown they Immediately demanded that the
Inhabitants Of the island should be represented
in any legislative body called to consult on
and shape the future executive destiny of the
country at large. Knowing their rights and
''daring 70 maintain" them, they have been
completely successful. Our cable kilograms
from Paris, dated yesterday, state that the
Cubans now in Spain will he permitted
to choose two members of the Central Junta
of government; 80 that, the essential Of
the legislative representation being secured,
there is no doubt that Cuba, Captain General
Lersundi having officially recognized the
Junta of government, will hold constitu-
tional elections, send members to the
Cortes and be represented In the home
Parliament, thus marching suddenly far
ahead of the people Of British North America
in that vital matter Of the relations between the
governing power and the governed.
News reports as to the state Of feeling in
Cuba with regard to the change effected In
the government Of Spain reach us almost daily
from Madrid, London, Paris and even Berlin
an unusual state Of affairs, showing the ad-
vantages Of prompt use Of the Atlantic cable
and in this category we have the assertion Of a
Paris journal of yesterdays date to the effect
that General Lersundi, has given ''his adhe-
sion to the revolution" fact stated In our
Havana cable kilograms Of the Same date.
General Lersundi has great experience in
official matters. He is, however, to be re-
| Iieyod by General Dnlce.

anu NAuhtuTys
President johnson yesterday issued an order
to army officers in command in the several
Southern districts, defining their duties in re-
gard to the elections and calling their atten-
ton to those provisions of law forbidding any
interference or intimidation on the part of the
military or naval forces at such times. In this
President Johnson is right. Many of the
military commanders have entirely misnnder-
stood their duties and made themselves ridicu-
lous. Their province is to preserve the peace
and aid in suppressing riots. If the people
of the unreconstructed States choose to vote
for Presidential electors the military have no
right to interfere. Whether the votes of such
States will or will not be counted is altogether
different matter. But the laundering folly
of military commanders and uneasy politicians
who are making so much fuss over the cleo
toral votes of the South lies in not compre-
hendng the fact that the majority for General
Grant in the loyal States will be so over
whelming that 1t could make no difference in
the grand result If every ex-rebel State, re-
constructed or unreconstructed, were to be
counted in favor of Seymour. Such con-
cession would only make Seymour's vote o
little more respectable in point of numbers
than McClellan's. The loyal States will de-
eide this election with o unanimity even
greater than that with which they reelected
Abraham Lincoln, and the Southern electoral
vote could not alter the verdict were it to 60
TO Washington, to Texas or to hotter place
in the effort.

THE STATE ELECTIONS To-DAY.-Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska hold
their State elections to-day. including their
delegations respectively to the next fed
eral House of Representatives and Legisla-
ture, which in Pennsylvania is to elect
United States Senator in place of Buckalew
(democrat) and in Indiana one in place Of Hen
bricks (democraD, who is running for Governor.
The republicans are pretty sanguine of carry
ing oil these four States the democrats are
not without their hopes Of carrying two or
three of them, but they have left no stone
unturned to save Pennsylvania. Whatever
may be the results in these four States to-day
we do no not expect that they will disturb the
prevailing opinion in reference to the grand
November election. Any further speculations
in reference to this days work in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana or Nebraska ore super
fluous, in view of the fact that our readers will
have the actual results laid before them to-
morrow morning.

ment which, with the reassembling of Con-
gress, ought to be removed.
Thus relieved from the shackles fastened
upon Johnson, General Grant will be in a
position, in the reorganization of the personnel
of his administration, to act with some degree
Of independence. Otherwise he will be in
reality the subordinate and under tho thumb
of the Vice President at the head of the
Senate, as Johnson is now under the thumb OF
"Old Ben Wade" Relieved, however, of this
Tenure of Office law, we may look for an in
dependent broad guage administration from
General Grant, including Cabinet and
policy adopted without the Intervention OF
Senatorial caucus We shall look to Grant
for the speedy removal of all the disfranchise-
ments of the Southern ex-rebel whites under
the fourteenth amendment. and then for the
restoration to the democratic party of all the
late slaveholding States with the acquisition
of the balance of power from the negro vote.
We shall expect reorganization of our 6nan-
cial and taxation systems on sound basis of
retrenchment and reform, and for the settle
ment of the Mexican problem, and oil our out
standing foreign accounts to the honor, glory
and prosperity of the Great Republic.
In the herculean work Of cleaning out the
Augean stables of the Treasury Department
we shall look to President Grant for the saving
of at least one hundred millions of money now
lost to the Treasury, through the existing
whiskey rings, tobacco rings, tariff rings and
all sorts of plundering revenue rings, insiders
and outsiders combined; but to enable the
President to reach these fellows this odious
Tenure OF Office law must be repealed. Wall
street and all it's affiliations have been and are
already actively discounting on their estimates
OF the good time coming under Grants adj
ministration, upon the general idea that his
Cabinet will be good one, and that his finan-
cial policy, his Southern policy, his foreign
policy and his general policy in the
matter Of appointments will be safe and sound
and eminently practical and conservative.
There is prevailing feeling that instead of
any shock under President Grant to any of
the business interests of the country every
thing, with the government in his hands, will
60 on smoothly and prosperously, and that all
sections will share in the profts-that, for
example, with the restoration of law and order
and staple system of things in the South,
Southern lands will rise in value and Southern
agricultural products will receive a new i'm
pulse equal to hundreds of millions added to
the general wealth Of the nation.
But all these reasonable expectations, rest
ing upon the known character of General Grant
as man possessing an uncommon fund of first
rate practical, honest common sense, may be
marred and spoiled unless in advance he is re-
lieved from the shackles which under this Ten
ure of Office law make the President the mere
creature of the dominant faction in the Senate.

pions of last session for the Legislature and,
with one or two exceptions, for Congress.
We may make up our minds, then, that the
four county Offices, all the Assembly nominal
tons and most of the Congressional districts
are already assigned in conformity with the
policy and purposes Of the managers who hold
these matters in their hands and are RESPONSE
BILE for the results, good or bad. We have no
doubt they will do what they consider best for
their party, and their great success as leaders
will induce the rank and file to endorse the
arrangements they make, however much
grumbing and cursing may be heard in the
taverns and saloons over lager beer and strong
whiskey. But as we remember that the late
Dean Richmond set the example OF leaving
one Of the nominations on State ticket to the
Convention, we may yet hope that where an
old Congressman Is not renominated the wishes
Of the people may be studied and that some
such representative as Charles O'Conor or
Hosea b. Perkins may by this means be
secured to the city. This, probably, Is the most
the people can expect, after the division of the
four valuable county Offices between the pre-
sent incumbents and the new aspirants on the
halI-and-half principle, and If they secure
this they may think themselves fortunate In
tho meantime we advise all interested In the
distribution Of the spols that the primaries OF
Thursday arc very important events and that
they will have to look higher than the cropped
heads OF the broken nosed delegates If they
desire to discover the real dispensers OF the
| county nominations.
