If there was one thing more necessary to
make Prim and his co-revolutionists sure that
they are in the right and to convince them
that their action has been beneficial to Spain
and to the world, dispatch came Tuesday
across the ocean which settles the matter at
once and forever. Here it is !: ---
LONDON, Dec. l5.-Advices from the coast of
Africa say the Spanish inhabitants of Fernando
Pc are jubiant over the downfall Of the Bourbons.
Now note the significance Of this. Think
of its importance, or rather, just think of the
consequences if different views had been
taken by the inhabitants of Fernando Pc, on
the coast of Africa. Suppose that these peo-
pie had declared against the provisional junta,
and had offered their services to the exiled
queen. Could the junta have held out |?
Would it now be in existence We fear not.
Letus then sing p@an ofpraise that theinhab-
itants of Fernando Pc, on the coast of Africa,
have decided to allow Spain to be free, and
let us sing higher strain to the man who, in
spirit enlightened enterprise, has fastened
by means of the Atlantic cable, to transmit
the great news to America.

The carpet-bagger who calls himself COVER
nor of Georgia undertook to decide a con
tested election caso, IN advance of the action
of Congress, by giving a certificate of election
to carpet-bagger Wimpy who was beaten by
a Democrat named Christy. The Constitu-
ton says that each House of Congress shall
be the judge of the election and qualifications
of its own members; but carpet-bagger Bull
lock has probably never read that obsolete in
strument; "or reading, would not read it,"
could not, We might perhaps say with more
accuracy. 1t appears, however, that the
Radicals in the House, or rather the House
committee, are perfectly willing that carpet
Dagger Bullock should usurp their functions,
as they have decided to sustain carpet-bagger
Bullock's action. Practically, it does not
make much difference whether the case is de-
cided in Washington or at Atlanta, as the
Radicals have evidently come to the conclu-
sion that eligibility and Radicalism are con-
yertible terms.

We Observe that carpet-bagger Sypher. who
pretends 10 represent the First District of this
State in Congress, has followed Senator Kel-
logg's example by introducing bill for the
political rehabilitation of number of what
the Republicans correspondent calls "re-
pentant SConfederates We observe the
names OF some members of the Democratic
party in s,enstor Kellogg's list-of some who
fought finder the Confederate flag, and
who da,bd death and underwent captivity
in the Confederate cause. To speak of
these Gentlemen as "repentant Confeder-
ates Is an insult to their intelligence
and their honor. The only "repentaut
Confedesates" are the scalawags who have
denied their cause, and fawned upon the
enemiess of their section and their people,
in ordeE to pick up some of the crumbs that
might fsl from the carpet-bsgger's table. 1t
is cred!table to Senator Kellogg that he has
includea in his list men who are not "repent-
ant Confederates," and who, he knows could
not "iepent without making themselves as
odious aud contemplate as the creatures
whose Repentance" only proves them to be
always,as destitute Of principle as they now
show themselves to be devoid of shame.
When I'VE asked whether the intention was
only to enfranchise such as would promise to
vote III e Radical ticket, we anticipated in this
case dtactly what happened under similar
circumstances in regard to a list of Alabama
ans, wnen all of the Radicals named in the list
were restored to their political rights and all
of thei Democrats were rejected. From the
Repu 9ican's intimation that inquiry should
be m,de as to the status of those for whom
Senator Kellogg asks Congressional amnesty,
we presume that the same rule will be fol-
lowednow.

Some of the Radical papers say that But
ler's proposal to repeal the tenure-of-ofice
act "has a look of magnanimity. People
who know Butler-and who does not know
him Twill regard this movement on his part
as another illustration of the servile syco-
phancy which is the natural complement of
his truculent tyranny. Macaulay remarks
that it is hopeless task to attempt to paint
blackamoor white; but it is absurd, as well
as hopeless, to try to make him appear white
by giving him an additional coat of black.
Yet this is precisely what the Radicals are
attempting in the case of Butler. It would
be the height of folly to endeavor to invest
Butler with any good qualities; but it is SIM
ply ridiculous to describe him as magnani-
nous, in the display of that humiliating
obsequiousness which he exhibits towards
Gen. Grant. Butler likes 10 kick, when he
can kick with safety; and he seems to relish
being kicked quite as much.

The Po1IcE.-Our local column yesterday
gave the present condition of the interesting
case arising from the present complication
of police matters. Our readers will remem-
Der that when Judge Cooley decided against
Cain, the metropolitan superintendent, the
defendant had writ of quo loarrantO sued out
against him by Mr.. Diamond, the mayors
appointee to the Office. Cain asked for sus-
pensive appeal, which Judge Cooley declined
to grant. Then Cain asked the Supreme
Court to issue a mandamus TO compel Judge
Cooley to grant the appeal. The mandamus
was issued, and Judge Cooley was summoned
to show cause why it should not be carried
into effect. The case was argued Tuesday.
Mr.. Henvy j. Leovy appeared for the city and
Judge Cooley, and Mr.. Hawkins for Cain and
the metropolitans. The decision will not be
delivered until Monday next. Of course if
the court decides not to carry the mandamus
into effect the matter is ended, and Mr.. Dia-
mond can take possession five minutes after
the decision is officially promulgated. But if
the court decides that the appeal shall be
granted, the case must be argued again be-
fore it, when the final result will be doubtful.
At present there is nothing to be done but to
wait for the decision Of the Supreme Court

TH1 CAUSE OF Ir.-The commissioner of
CUSTOMS submits to Congress very pertinent
inquiry as to the cause of the decadence of
American shipping within four or five years
past Formerly, he remarks, the bulk of the
carrying trade was confined to American bot
tonsl whereas the bulk of it now is moved
by fsreign. and especially the imported mer-
charsiise from France and England. This
ougl't not to be thus, is the patriotic senti-
men, of Mr. Commissioner, and he sagely con-
cludes that 1t would be as it ought to be if
thers we're not some cause for it to be as it
ought not to be.
s.. profound and irrefutable a conclusion is
worthy OF that celebrated marine philosopher,
Bursby, and no doubt it will strike some
mel hbers of congressional committees on
cor. merce with such force as to make them
thisk that they have got an idea that is
cleSrer than mud or one of Gen. Grants bril-
laSt flashes of nihiloquence. But the ques-
tioa raised by the commissioner of customs is
in lone aspect impertinent as coming from
th3t functionary. No one should know better
THIN he what is killing the American ship
pig interest. 1t is the customs about which
he is supposed to know all that is worth
Knowing that is doing the business Ameri-
caa shipping does not decline faster than
ftseign commerce under the deadly effects of
tl}s tariff as it has been adjusted by party
which. after making the worst possible laws,

We cordially approve of the proposal of the
finance Committee of the council that, after
the first of Jrsluary next only United States
treasury notes shall be taken in payment of
taxes, and that all city money in the treasury
be destroyed, and no more be paid out. The
CRESCENT suggested this course several months
ago as being the most efficient method of
restoring the city finances to q sound and
healthy CONDITION, and if it had been adopted
then, or at an. earlier period, we should have
escaped mucs of the embarrassment, and all
of the perpfoxity in which we are now in
volved. 1t is utterly useless to attempt to
economist as long as the deprecated city cur
rency standsas an insuperable obstacle in the
way of econosny-s lion in the path which
devours our resources and our substance. but
which, like Dante's she wolf, grows hungrier
after every neal, There are but two ways to
surmount this obstacle-either to fund it or
to decline rtyeiving it for taxes. The
people have decided not TO adopt the
funding system, and the alternative pro-
posed by the finance committee is the only
one remaining. 1t must not be supposed
that this action involves reputation of the
outstanding city notes. They may be and
probably wiz be provided for in some manner
oqussebie toisne holders, and just to the city
but the refusal to receive them in payment of
taxes is nov. an absolute necessity. II we go
on augmenting the debt by continually &C.
cumulating reissues it will finally reach an
aggregate which will make reputation not
only probability but an imperious exigency.
Tire only security for the note holders is that
the present ruinous system shall cease before
the city becomes inextricably involved. We
observe that Mr.. Pandely favored the propo-
sition to destroy the city money now in the
treasury, and that to pay out no more, but op-
posed the remainder of the plan. We are at
q loss to conceive what effect this would have
except to put complete stop to the opera.
tions of the city government. The city must
use certain amonat of money for the pay
ment of its current expenses. If the taxes are
received in city money, and this money is de-
stroyed, nobody can be paid. Mr.. Pandely
may possibly have some plan for solving this
problem bat we do not observe that he pro-
posed it, and to our view it seems simply in
conceivable.
