Governor Bullock has vetoed the bin repeating che

doing as soloss:-
Because am convinced that the great body OF ths

excelled by any other manager in the
material provided for public patronage.
We have come to be OF late years q
critical and not easily pleased audience, and
We will have none but the finest talent in our
opera singers We have sent to Europe nearly
half q score OF well educated artists who
command Old World applause and country
that can do that should insist upon having
imported talent of the first order. We cannot
say whether the late quarrels between the
Montagues and Capuets of Pixies Opera
House and the Academy were fatal mistake
or not but If Pike will only take warning by
the various troubles which have for many
years past afflicted the managers, the stock
holders and the artists of tho Academy, he
may steer clear between Scylla AMI Chary bdis
and furnish us with what we much require--a
good and enduring Italian opera.
There is rivalry springing up, too, in the
production Of the legitimate drama. Booths

war following hard upon the present operate

the duty of q manager to educate the public

MADRID, Feb. Is. 1868.
Dispatches just received in this city from the
provinces convey the intelligence that the leaders
of the Carlst party have effected a revolution
against the authority of Queen Isabella in the
North, and that their adherents have taken up
arms in considerable numbers ia Navarro.
Skirmishes have taken place between the civil
guard and the insurgents in the city Of Navarro
the Queens officers maintaining their allegiance.
Some few persons were wounded during the
tumult, and the ancient Franco Hispano province
Of Navarro is agitated at many points.
1t appears as if the movement is the result Of a
deliberate and well planned organization. The
police are on the alert, and have seized documen-
tary evidence Of the fact.
The officers have already found and carried
away from Navarro three thousand copies Of revo-
lutonary pacards, or maniiestos, addressed to the
people Of Spain. Each copy is headed with a
wood cut or ''portrait"-as it is termed-of the
eldest aon OF Don Juan. who is entitled and named
Charles the Seventh Of Spain. This young gentle
man is second cousin to Queen Isabella and grand.
son of Don Carlos-who made the war against her
accession to the throre-Don Juan. his father.

Ecclesiastical siratesy-The Rev. Mr.. Tyns
and the CnnOns Agnin.

ana the C0nOns Agnin.
AS will be seen by reference to another
column, the Rev. DR.. Tying, the senior of the
exceedingly original junior, has taken up the
cudgels in defence OF thai young gentleman
and his cleverness In setting at naught the
canons willie, meantime, the reverend judges
plod doggedly on in the investigation of that
which really needs no investigation. Tie
manifesto of the elder Tying is to the effect that
the ecclesiastical action at present going on is
IN the highest degree illiberal ; in other words,
that while canons may be very excellent for
clergymen in general they are by no means
applicable to tho Rev. Stephen Ii. Tying, Jr.,
and ought not to be permitted to
work harm to his clerical standing and in
auence-a PROPOSE ion which W. have already
substantially demonstrated on the ground of
the young gen lemln's exceedingly original
turn OF mind. No ar sument need be wasted,
therefore, in connection with the justice of the
question, though this heaping of affidavit upon
affidavit to prove that which is admitted seems
to us very Ike re soning in circle. The aim
of the court-and we hereby declare our re-
oPcCt ior tHc ucHCdCy vi tle TeVeteHu Judges
seems to be not to convict if conviction can be
avoided. Sc ing, as in glass darkly, that
canons are not exactly in accordance with tie
culture Of the age, they are naturally impressed
with the absurdity OF attempting their applica-
ton. To be sure, canons in the abstract are
very necessary things, but canons in
their applIcation-that is exactly what
the reverend gentlemen object to- Canons
must be enforced or they are no canons and
again. canons must not be enforced to the
deriment and scandal Of Episcopacy in
America; and how to enforce the canons and
yet leave them unenforced is sort Of penny
puzzle to the prosecution. 1t might be con-
struod as illiberal to censure or suspend, and
even then the young gentleman might refuse TO
be suspended He migh carry of his parish
with him, moreover-and it is very difficult to
suspend whole parish. This is the problem
that vexes; for though the judges are no doubt
willing to spare the clergyman from the Epis-
copacy, they are not quite so willing to spare
the parish also.
To our mind there is but one way of eluding
the dilemma. The judges must have recourse
to the works of a curious old logican, in
which he explains the best manner Of proving
that "that which is, is not, and that which is
not, is" By these means they will be able to
enforce the canons and not enforce them at the
tics which will satisfy all parties.
