Nearly all the leaders of the people in
Spain have expressed their preference for a
constitutional monarchy above all other
forms OF government. The question now is,
who shall be placed on the throne? The
Duke de Montpensier, Louis Philippes son,
has no claim, save as the husband OF the late
Queens sister, the lnianta Louisa. Even
this is rather an obstacle than claim as the
whole nation seems determined to dispense
with Dourbons; and Napoleon is understood
to prefer any other prince in Europe to an
Orleans.
The Prince Napoleon, son OF Jerome, King
of WestptaIia and son in-aw OF Victor En-
manuel, is talked oil by the European press.
The only ground for connecting his name
with the vacancy is that he is a cousin Of
Napoleon Ill, and it may be thought that
such an arrangement would please the En-
peror But "Plon plon" is by no means a
king, but merely rake of uncommon capaci-
ty. Whether there is stuff in him to make a
king is doubtful; certainly he has no peculiar
knowledge Of the Spanish people, and no
adaptation to them. He is the next heir, ex-
cept sickly boy OF twelve, to the French
throne, and this alone would be fatal obiec-
ton, ON the part OF England and Prussia. to
his accession to Spain.
The young king OF Portugal has been men
toned, but is thought not to be available
His people do not want to be absorbed IN
Spain; and he has no desire to place himselI
in the hands OF strangers, for the sake ol
more splendid title. But the capie suggests
that new candidate from this 'amlly IS now
proposed in Europe, the late tituiar King Fer
dinand the father of the present KING Luis
OF Portugal. A.. s, -. G..
| roburo Gotha a cousin OF the reigning Duke
Ernest H. OF that family, and of the late
Prince Consort Albert of England. 1t is
doubtless true that he would be more accep-
table to both England and Prussia than any
Bourbon; but the assertion by the cable that
''he would be unobjectionable to the Emper-
or Napoleon" is very doubtful Moreover,
monarchy hereditary in his line would inev-
itabIy. upon the next demise OF the crown,
unite Portugal with Spain. since the royal
house of Portugal are the children and heirs
TIE . is need of no lightning from the sea
to tell rs that Prince Alfred, OF England, is
ont of the question. The people of Great
Rritain will never permit possible heir to
the throne of Victoria to accept a lorei Z
crown, or Alfred might have been knk long
ago. either in Crete or In Mexico.
But there remains one claimant of whom

aside, anarchy will follow. there are many
claimants. none OF whom overshadow the rest.
Some think that without his name and

Now we shall have richnessl In dulcet

will show that the Ma ional Convention didn't
mean anything. And thus, by steps so easy
that child may take them, he will lead his
bearers along path so plain that the wayfar-

the certain conclusion that he himself doesn't
