THE KING OF NAPLES. THE recent revolution
in Spain, it is stated, has intsrlered materially
with an arrangement for the restoration of the
King of Naples to his throne. 1t is reported
that under the marriage treaty between the
daughter OF Isabella IL and the Prince of Cir
genti, brother of Francis II, Of Naples, a COM
pact was entered into by which thirty thou
sand Spanish troops were to land on the Sioi-
liam coast, join with the reactionlsts, march on
Naples, proclaim Francis IL, and fortify against
Victor Emmanuel. The Pope and the Em.
peror of Austria, it is asserted, were parties
to this wild scheme. The Prince of Glrgenu
and his young bride were to exert their influ-
ence upon the Emperor Napoleon III, aud
gain his consent to this movement. The
revolution, however, exiled Isabella, and
she has joined the family of orownless sove-
reigne.

From the above it will be seen that under
MAYOR 0pdyke, with a currency depreciated so
as to average during his term q s62-3) Ouly 20
cents on the dollar, the expenses of the City,
in grcenbacis, were no greater in the total
and somewhat less per head of the population,
than they had been in gold during the last two
wears of Fernando Wood In short, the two
years of Opdyke cost less in gold than the two
years of Wood by the difference between gold
and currency on $?1 100000, or say $G,OOO,00o
Til, cannot be due to rise in prices, because
gold, the key of all prices is lower. 1t is not
caused by increase of population, because it is
lust twice as great per capita. We shall show
that it Is due to the operations OF that gang OF
political thieves who have nominated John 7.
Hoffman for Governor. These operations cannot
be termed stealing because the word stealing
expresses neither their tuTptude nor their mag
nitude AS new term seems to be needed,
we brand them with at once the most appro-
propriatc and opprobrous epithet that occurs
to US, viz, Hodmanship. Workmanship is the
cooperation of politicians to plumber the tax
payers in accordance with the forms of law.
1t is a school of ethics which teaches that
Governments are instituted among men in order
that those who have charge of the treasury
may make q handsome thing out of it. 1t
is regarded Handsome thing" i'll Hoffman
ship if an official on a salary OF $1,000 year
can spend $4,000, and have a net surplus of
100000 at the end of the tweyemonth Lar
ceny is a rude and unpublished form Of
Workmanship. 1t steals, but it leaves the
law against stealing plain and pure, Oh the
statute book. IIotlmanship applies to the Leg
islature for an act specially authorizing what
if done without its authority would be steal
ing. An honest man, or an officer who sticks y
at conscientious scruples, is rejected 10y Hoii-
manshipn as an impracticabe fool, sort OF
political idiot. An officer who holds his tongue,
pockets his indirect bride, sticks at nothing,
and stands by his friends, is promoted by Ioff-
manslip to be -Mayor-GOyernor.
To illustrate the operation OF Workmanship,
we began building Court House i'll 1861, Which
ought honestly TO have been completed two
wears ago for S2,OO0OOO. 1t has already cost us
nearly 100000, is incomplete, and will cost us
s7,OOO,OOO; 100000 have been spent on it
under the sanction Of Mayor Hoffman. Who

Let us see. On September 10, 1861, the Board
of Supervisors resolved TO build it of marble.

George II. PendetOn is a gentleman OF about
as bad politics as possible. But we are very
glad to sec that he is not so reckless as the
recent letter over his signature, advising Texans
TO vote at the Presidential election in defiance
of Congress, and pledeing the Democratic party
to see that the votes are counted, would imply.
Mr.. Pendleton denounces the letter as forgery.
We heartily rejoice to find the recognized head
of great political party innocent OF an utter
ance that could only be described as incendiary
and revolutionary. Now let us see those Demo-
cratic organs which made haste to indorse Mr.
Pendleton's supposed letter as sound and states
manlike, make the like haste to denounce the
forger who attributed to him document so
dangerous and devilish.

The Democratic orators who are now carpet
bagging through the Northern States, if they
had an iota OF honor, or the minutest care for
party consistency would resolutely hold their
tongues about the sin and shame OF Colored
Suffrage At least they would do this until
their political brothers at the South had ceased
TO importune the Freedman in behalf OF Blair
anu Seymour. This they have just been dong
and that too officially. in Tennessee. for IN
stance. The State Democratic Committee men
of that region are boOing' and "booing
again fox the Colored Vote. They declare, In
their address that il the Blacks will only vote
for Blair they shall &" never be disturbed III any
of their vested rights They talk sweety
about "colored citizens" They firmly declare
that " there shall be no taxation without re-
presentation" They are fairly on their knees
10 81 the barbarians." This only proves what
we have always maintained-that the Freedman
needs the ballot as weapon of defense; and
il i, this which Democratic Mr. Blair proposes
70 take away from him.

TILE EnrrRE or SPIN.

Our dispatches from Spain this morning
describe the last hours of the reign OF Queen
Isabella. As was minated by n previous dts
match. the Prime Minister, Jose de Ia Concha,
and his brother, Gen. Manuel de Ii Concha de-
clarcd in favor Of the Instruction ana their
example was Immediately followed by the
troops and the people OF Madrid. The only
General who iisked battle for the throne OF
Isabella, Gen. Pavia, was utterly defeated by
the insurgents. The son-in-law OF the Queen,
the Count of Girgenti, was captured. No further
resistance to the victorious revolution, VIC sup
pose, will be made, and the Provisional Junta
which has been formed will hold undsputed
control Of the whole kingdom.
Many of the former revolutions III Span
contented themselves with demanding change
of the Cabinet The present revolution goes
further. All its leaders are in favor of declar-
ing the throne vacant. A few may be willing
to recognize the young Prince of AsturIas as
King: but the majority will insist on the ex-
cluson OF all the children of Isabella from the
throne. We have no indications yet OF the IN
tcntiops of the leaders with regard to the
future government. Many, IL not all, or the
generals who were exiled n short time ago, are
in favor of the Duke of Montpensier, and most
of the prominent men who have joined the
instruction may be supposed to support the
same canddaturc. The party which fay0rs the
union of Spain aud Portugal, under the King OF
Portugal has of late been discouraged 10y the
general opposition of the Portuguese to the
plan of union and most of them may, there
fore, unite with the party Of the Duke OF
Montpensicr.
However this Question may be decided, we
regard it as certain that the Provisional Gov
eminent will ut once call a Constituent AS
scmbly for liberal revision of the Constitu-
ton. From this Assembly there is reason TO
expect "a liberal law of suffrage, the establish
ment of religious federation, reform OF public
education, and number Of other refOrmatory
measures. If the Assembly is, as we suppose
it will be- elected BY universal suffrage, we
NAV expect the return of a considerable num-
Der of Republicans, for republican principles
have numerous adheTcnts in all the large
cities But it is, of course, probable that they
will he in a minority, and the preservation OF
the monarchIca form of government VIII be
declared But, at all events, we hope for
new Spain-a Spain which will not offer
troops to the exilcd Bourbons OF Naples, or Tor
the occupation of Rome: which will never
again submit to absolutis,n and to the lnquisi-
ton which will awake from lcthaTey, and
which will learn how to develop the immense
resources of the country

recent article of the distinguished NJ. Guizot in
the Rerue DIES DeHr MOades on the question of
peace OF war in Europe. NJ. Guizot expresses
his conviction that since 1915 TIE desire for
peace las continued to prevail more and more
in the national heart, and makes plea for the
pacific instinct of France that cannot be disre-
garled. He cites the campaigns in the Crmea,

When the Democrats abandoned the idea OF
nominating Gen. Grant, they next seriously
contemplated the nomination of Gen. Sherman
and ever since they have been claiming that,
like his father-in-iaw, the venerable Thomas
Ewing, he is in full sympathy with their
present hostility to Grant. They will find the
Generals letter to the Boys in Blue at Phila-
delphia, which we print in another column
very refreshing reading. He does not believe
that an officer who is in the army for life, and
expects to serve under different Administrations
ought to take an active part in politician adj
monition which Gen. Hancock, Gen. Gordon
Granger, and others of that ik should lay to
heart-but he begs that no one twill doubt

nETNiH IND WELLS.

Ever since the Publication OF the letter OF
Commissioner Wells TO Mr.. Allison, setting
forth clearly and accurately the receipts and
expenditures OF the Treasury for the last hscal
year. The World. unable to rfute any one
point has constantly endeayored TO weaken the
force of Mr.. Weiss statements by calling them
inaccurate and conflicting. Tie World has now,
however, at last, obtained what il calls " the
simple exact truth" in the statement from
Mr. Delmar, temporary Director of the Bureau
of Statistics. We propose to ask the atten-
ton of our readers to a comparison of the
figures as given by Commissioner Wells, which
The World has time and time again asserted
were incorrect and prepared for partisan pur-
poses, with the "cXact truth as divulgod BY
Director Delmar.
1t will be remembered that the statement OF
Commissioner Wells was prepared immediately
after the close of the last fiscal year, ending
July /, 1868, and before the accounts OF the
Treasury for the last quarter were fully adjusted
and for this reason Mr. Wells claimed for his
figures of receipts and expenditures only sub
stantial accuracy. We now republlsh Mr.
Weiss figures, and side by side for compari-
son. the " exact truth" OF Mr.. Delmar, made up
after the accounts Of the Treasury have been
fully adjusted:
