The Revolution in Npain

The harmonious and peaceful uprising Of
the people of Spain, the quiet yet summary
way in which they disposed Of their Bourbon
incubus, encouraged the friends of freedom
in all countries to believe that there was yet
hope for the descendants Of Pelayo and the
- Great Captain" The brave and enter
prising Spaniard Of Prescott and Motley was
to appear again in the arena of European
affairs, and assume the influence that belongs
to a territory so rich in natural advantages,
and once 50 rich in men. The course OF
events, however, begins to demonstrate that
the influence of three centuries of misgovern-
mcnt and priestcraft is not SO easily effaced-

the provisional authorities worked we'll to-

Congress.

NAeHI\GIoS, Dee. III.
SE~ATE.-On motion of Mr.. Anthony the
Senate proceeded to the election of the stand
ing committee after which bills and ~resolu-
lions on the table were read and most of
them referred 10 appropriate committees
When the House bill to restore the
Bureau of Indiana affairs TO the war de-
partmcnt was reached, Mr.. Thayer desired to
refer it tt the Committee on indian Affairs,
and Mr.. Wilson moved to commit it to the
Committe on Military Affairs. remarking
that it was opposed by several distinguished
Generals. After considerable discussion the
motion of Mr.. Thayer prevailed.
On motion of Mr.. Sumner his bill To re-
sumo specie pay cent on the 4th of July
next was laid over until next week, when
he said he would move to refer to Committee
on Finance.
Senator Sumner also explained the pur-
pose of the bill introduced by him to carry
out the reconstruction acts in Georgia, and
on his motion it was referred to Committee
on Judiciary.
Senator Wilson introduced a joint resolu-
ton submitting for ratification the following
amendment to the constitution
Article Is. No distinction snail be made
by the United States nor by any State among
citizens in their civil or political rights on
account OF race, color, or previous condition !;
referred to Judiciary Committee. Also a
bill to regulate elective franchise in the
United States referred to same committee.
Senator Edmunds called for the unfinished
business of yesterday, stating that he was
in favor Of having the message read, in order
to show to the country the kind of man who
occupies the Presidential office. After a
brief discussion the Senate consented to the
reading of the message and the Secretary be-
gan at the point at which he was interrupted
yesterday. When he had finished Mr.. Ed
munds moved to lay the message on the
table and ordered it printed carried. Mr..
Edmund said that in view Of extraordinary
propositions relating to the national debt
contained in the Presidents message he
would move On next Tuesday that the FL
nance Committee, unless they should in the
meantime report that the resolution on that
subject offered by him on the ID of Novem-
Der last be discharged from further consid-
Grafton, he would move its passage The
resolution aftlrms that tho faith, OF tnc United
States is solemnly pledged to the payment of
the national debt.

ing the reputation proposition OF the Presi

The report of the Postmaster General
shows that that f%unctionary has contributed
to swell the public debt during the last fiscal
year, by running his Department at an cx-
pense of something more than six millions o.
dollars more than the receipts. Somebody
has got rich out of it, of course. Postmas-
ter General Randell is, and has been a John
son man, and has managed his Department
in tho interest of his master, and yet Demo
cratic clamor charges all the increase of the
public debt to Congress.
Suppose Congress should abolish the frank
ing privilege, and thus diminish the expense
of carrying the mail? Isn't such an experi.
mcnt worth trying in these days when there
must be retrenchment somewhere in order tc
stop the growth of the public debt?

To Our Subscribers.

The last meeting Of the Editors and Publishers
Association III this State, recommended the adoption
of the system Of prepayment of subscriptions to all

manipulation Of Erie
About . r. IA carriage drove un 10 the
Commodore's Office, and Two gentlemen
alightcd hearing between them an enormous
black carpet bay. This bag, which IN ap-
pearancc bore astrikinc resemblance 70 those
mysterious rcccrtaclcs carried some years
since in this city by the rebel hotel burners,
contained fifty thousand shares Of Erie stock,
representing tat 10) the price for which they
were said t. have been returned from the
Commodore, three and a half million OF dol
lars, together with Cancelled checks amount
Ing to T. million dollars more. Bearing this
en0rmous package between them, the gentle
men staggered up 10 the office door and rang
the bell.
An att .nIant promptly admitted them.
where they found the Commodore seated in
his easy chair near his private telegraph in
strument, quietly putting a prime Partaga
and reading the dispatches from the stock
exchange. He had Just received the an
nouncement. " Eric. thirty-six,N when the
burly Mr.. Fisk approaching him remarked ::

We're after that money, and mean to have
it. We don't want to he hard with you, and
if you settle up without further trouble, why
we may let up on the interest. But If You
don't draw your check right away, suits will
be commenced for the recovery of the funds

The NISStltfmentS of the Message.

Correctness Of principles was not to BE-
expected iu d message from Andrew John
son. but some little a proach 70 accuracy in
statements of fact the public lad a right to
demand. Yet even this correctness is entire
ly wanting. He says the reconstruction
laws have bad a .. 9 fair trial" and have fail
ed. The truth is, they have not had a fair
trial, the threats, intimidation, violence and
murder, INDUCED in by rebels and winked at
by johnson, having given the laws anything
but a fair chance.
He SAYS the " constitution requires that
each state shall he represented in Congress-,
&c; but the constitution makes no such re-
quirement, and the rebels voluntarily left
their seats at Washington in 1861, preferring
to be represented at Montgomery or Rich
mond.
He says Z" the attempt to place the white
population under the domination of persons
of color in the South, has impaired" &c.
This is simply transferring to an official doc
ument the brazen Misrepresentation OF the
political Canvass just ended. Congress at
tempted to give all men, without respect to
color, equal civil and political rights, and
johnson has not only partially defeated this,
but impudently lies about it.
He SAYS when Congress met in December,
1865, {" civil strife had ceased, and the spirit
of rebellion had spent its entire force. He
knows better, The esprit of rebellion ,
had not spent its entire force,-it had only
taken with it seven spirits worse than itself
and entered the breast of Andrew johnson
1t is hat new rebellion the people have beer
fighting ever since, and which-let us hop<
