SPANISH INsoLENcR-THE CASE OF THE BRIe
OMAHA.-The Spanish authorities in Cuba en-
deavor to throw every obstacle in the path of
commercial and business people who happen
to come within their jurisdiction by the most
vexatious interference and unjust demands.
The latest phase of their insolent course Is the
case Of the American brig Omaha, which was
seized at Manzanilla, Cuba, short time since,
on account of some slight informality or cleri-
cal error in the manifest of the vessel An
enormous fine is imposed on the vessel for this
trining error This has become regular
practice in the island of Cuba, and 1t Is b;gh
time that our government should put s,op to
it, The owners of the vessel, in reply to their
remonstrances against the unjus. seizure of
their property, received an ip.imation that it
is necessary to pay the finc or abandon the
vessel. This attempt to revive the practices
Of the old Spanish freebooters i9 those waters
mus! bo promptly checked BY our government; |;
and If the Cuban authorities do not behave
themselves in the presence of their republican
master, why, we will be compelled to dog
them soundty and take their island under our

STREET DISTINCTIONS AND. NUlsAScEs. -
One of the most intolerable nusances exist
ing at present in the streets Of the metropolis
is the method adopted by our gas companies
and the Croton Water Department to repair
their street pipes and ''mains." II defect
occurs in one Of those pipes II is necessary to
tear mp the street and obstruct all traffic for
the time being for the purpose Of repairing this
defect. The blocks of the pavement, as may
be seen on Broadway at present, are then put
back in their places in loose, careless man
ner, and the ceaseless tide Of carriages, wagons
and stages is allowed to pass over the spot
again. The natural consequence of tearing up
thoroughfare in this manner is that some of
our best business streets will not last any time,
but will be completely ruined and untitled for
business purposes. II might be very easily
avoided by having the gas and water pipes
arranged with the sewers, as is the case In
Paris, and to some extent In London, 40 that

to fight with the assurance Of great inrosds
into the republican lines, and with fair pro-
mise of sweeping success, they will tear down
their old democratic fence and open the field to
all the conservative elements OF the land
opposed to the reign Of radicalism, and they
will nominate brave old Admiral Farragut as
their standard bearer. We await their next
move on the chessboard in the change OF the
time appointed for their National Convention.

The Prince of Wales-A Lost Opportunity.

The Prince Of Wales-A Lost Opportunity.
The Prince of Wales was making his visit to
Ireland when the news of the attempted assas-
sination of Prince Alfred in Sydney reached
him, and he Immediately returned to England.
thereby losing fine opportunity to show his
pluck by remaining in that portion of his
mothers dominions which is proverbially hos
tile to the reigning family and traditionally re-
bellious to British authority in every shape and
form. II was said that the criminal who at
tempted to take his brothers life was one Of
the terrible Fenians, and here was the heir
apparent In the land where Fenianism is sup
posed to exist in its most formidable shape,
girt around with Greek fire and phosphorus.
marshalled by head centres and American
emissaries. What splendid chance for the
display of heroism the Prince threw away when
he embarked for London instead of traversing
the whole four provinces, as tourists usually
do, from the Giants Causeway to the pic
turesque lakes of Killarney! In all probability
not hair Of his head would have been touched
on the route, for it appears that he conducted
himself so well in Dublin and was received with
so much loyal courtesy that no personal piques
would have instigated personal vengeance.
But how it would have elevated him in the esti-
nation of the people both in Ireland and Eng
land If he had boldly trusted himself among the
Irish people just at this juncture! He might
have earned the reputation of that celebrated
lady of whom the poet Moore sings:-
And blessed forever was she who relied
on Erin's honor and Erin's pride.
We cannot but think that the Prince Of Wales,
upon this occasion, lost an opportunity OF be-
coming hero as well as prince. Suppose
he became martyr! What then? There are
plenty more princes Of the royal line to take bis
place on the English throne.
The New York herald., 1868-04-30

We are told by the radical organs that-in
their classical language-we need no more
''gab" about the impeachment trial. This
means, of course that nothing more must be
said in behalf Of the respondent in the case,
the prosecution having had their say in the
elegant effort of Ben Butler, the stupid drawl
Of Mr.. Boutwell, and the hearty, vehement
scold Of Thad Stevens. But 1t strikes us that
the country would not object to hear little
more of such ''gab" as Mr.. Evarts gave on
Tuesday when defining what the Presidents
oath to maintain the constitution means, as it
is administered to each Chief Magistrate.
That oath, said Mr.. Evarts, binds the Presi
dent of the United States to defend the con-
stitution against all attacks, whether they
come from Congress or from any other enemy,
domestic or foreign. Let the Managers, who
boasted that all their recent acts were done
outside Of the constitution and in direct viola
ton Of that sacred instrument, make note of
this, and let the Senators remember that the
alleged crimes of President Johnson are his
attempts to preserve, protect a,d defend the
constitution, as he is sworn 70 do, against all
enemies, whether these enemies are found in
the House Of Representatives or anywhere
else.

Nothing in the way of description which has
reached this country or England from the scene
of the lately terminated war in Abyssinia can
compete with the account furnished In these
columns yesterday from our special cores
pondcnt with Sir Robert Napier's army.
This writer is the only American out Of
the eleven newspaper correspondents who
accompanied the warlike expedition. In
our letter the public are informed minutely
how the army Of ''civilizers" crossed the
desert soil of Central Africa, dived into the
chasms and scaled the heights which surround
the stronghold of the deflnct King Theodorus;
how the motley crowd Of Indians, Turks, Eng
lish, Scotch, Irish, Parsees and Arabs wound
their tedious way along the arid tracks, looking
gay in their fine haberdashery, and stepping TO
the familiar English music of "Cheer, boys,
cheer" how the barbarian Prince of Tigre and
his suite cut horsemanlike capers before the
marquee Of General Merewether, and how,
after making his salaams he laid his curly
head affectionately upon the lap of Brigadier
Merewether, who, we are happy to know,
looked very like an Americana fact which
may account for the interest in the famous
ocean yacht race which be shared in common
with General Stavely. All this Is told, and
welltold, by our special correspondent at Antolo,
to the dire confusion and remorse Of ''Bull Run
RUSSELL" who did not believe word of the
HERALDs Abyssinian news until the war was
all over, any more than he believed that ther q
was battle at Bull Run until the hastily retir-
ing flgitives nearly ran over him while he was
enjoying his London brown stout some dozen
miles away from the scene Of action. This
Abyssinian correspondence, however, is but
another example of newspaper enterprise with
which the readers of the HERALD are familiar,
and which the leading journals Of England
| have recently 20 handsomely recognized.
