THE REVOLUTION IN SpAIN.-The ex-
pected manifesto of the Provisional Gov
ernment of Spain was published in Ma
drid on the 2oth ultimo. 1t is in the form
of a diplomatic circular, and is very long;
1t explains the reasons which compelled
the Spanish people to throw off the yoke
of tho Bourbon dynasty, enumeratlng the
grievances Of the nation against the late
Government, and says:
"The people must now regain the tlmo
which it has lost. The principle OF poopu,,
lar sovereignty which is now naturallzed
in Spain is the principle of national lite,
and the ideal type of the nations asplra,
tions. We may, therefore, be permitted
to affirm that the national sovereignty, ex-
crcised in the first place by the vote OF
all, and subsequently by those elected by
the people, will decree q complete system
of liberties, which form, or will form soon,
the rich and inalienable patrimony OF a
civilized country
The circular also examines at length
the question of freedom of public wor-
ship, and expresses hopes for the free ex-
erciise of every religion. 1t also states
the desire of the Government to be on
good terms with foreign powers, and to
obtain the moral concurrence OF foreign
Governments, adding:
"But if we should fail in this respect,
if the example of America in recognizing
the revolution be not followed, wo shall
not be discouraged. We can TRANQUILITY
proceed with our task, for our indepen-
dence is not threatened, and we have no
foreign intervention to fear.
"To legitimize the revolution we have
sought the sole criterion now considered
infllible-namely, an appeal to universal
suffrage. The aim which we have in
view is to place ourselves on . level with
the most advanced nations, and thus
cease to form dissonance in tho great
concert of nations.
"We have Il perfect right to expect from
foreign countries respect for the state OF
things which we have created, and we
entertain justifable hope that the Gov,
ernments which march at the head OF
civilization will not refuse to Spain those
proofs of amity and fraternity which they
accorded to the power that crushed and
humiliated us. :"

GENERAL GRANT ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE

GENERAL GRANT ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
i'm his speech in New York city the
other night, Judge Pierrpont, (Radical,
though he was Democrat at the time be
held the conversation with Grant, said:
"One day at his house in Washington,
while he was Secretary of War, | told
him that I thought he would make IL
rood Democratic candidate if he was
right on the question of negro suffrage.
He replied he had no wish Tor the Presi-
dency; that he had now much higher
Office than he had ever expected; that
Gen. Sherman would make good Presi-
dent, and that he would gladly give the
half that he was worth to make Sherman
or any other fit man President; that has
feelings and sentiments ,cere entirely opposed
to negro suffrage; but that he did not
wish to be restrained by any pledges from
the right to change his opinion in future
if new exigencies convinced him that he
was wrong; for, said he, you will,remem-
ber that early in the war, when was in
command of the West, publicly stated
that if tho negroes had an instruction l
would hold my army in choclS until it was
put down. But long before the war was
over I should have been glad of negro
insurrection, and would have moved my
army all the faster. What | want is tho
Union-tho whole country returned TO
peaco and submissive 10 the laws. [ do
not like universal negro suffrage now, but
the freedmen ought to be protected, and
if the only way to protect them in their
helpless condition is to give them the
suffrage, thon shall be in favor of letting
them vote. I want the Union restored,
and to have the South come back, obey
the laws, and submit as good citizens, and
if the future proves that they will not do
it without negro suffrage. then l would
give them negro suffrage"

no further disturbance mao taken WlInln
or adjacent to the city limits.
The following account OF the trouble in
Augusta on election day is copied from
the ConstitutionaliSt
From the best information we can OBJ
tain the facts Of the difficulty are as fol
lows:
While one Of our oldest and most highly
respected citizens was in the performance
of his duty, as manager, at one OF the
polls, administering and explaining the
oath to colored challenged voter, the
military Mayor of tho city, in a wanton
and unproyoked manner, objected to his
act and used towards him some very op-
probious and abusive language. The re-
port of the trouble was borne to the City
Hall front gate, where the crowd was
waiting its turn to enter, and caused con-
siderable excitement among both whites
and blacks eliminating in negro curs-
ing an Irshman. The negro was in
stantly shot-by whom it is not known.
The row then, of course, became general,
pistols being drawn and fired by both
parties; the negroes, however, running
away in large numbers. In the fight,
tho Irishman who received the cursing,
we understand, was mortally wounded
and three or four wounded slightly. Most
of the pistols of the white men wero fired
in the air, which accounts for the small
number of causalties from forty or fifty
shots. In few moments, however, the
efforts of the Radical Sheriff, A. G. Rufin,
having failed, quiet was restored, and the
company of Federal soldiers, under COM
mand of gallant and high-toned officer,
took control of the City Hall yard, not,
however, interfering with the balloting
About this time the Sheriff advanced to-
wards the front gate of the yard, in COM
pany with Federal soldier, and directed
him to arrest a young man whom he
Rufin) pointed out. The young man
said he had done nothing to be arrested
for. wien the soldier turned to RuffiD and
said sIf. you wish me to arrest him, you
must get orders from my superior officer"
whcreupon there was considerable Kissing
and ieering of Ruffin by the crowd which
surrounded him, and in the midst of it
dull sound was heard, and Ruffin said to
the man to whom he was speaking at the
time, Pm shot," The man told him
no; that lie was frightened; and even
when he fell no one supposed it anything
but faint, until they picked him up and
iToJad that he was dead. The ball entered
the back, and must lave passed near the
heart, if not through it.
No ono knew whence the shot came,
nor who fred it, as no weapon was eS-
posed, and every one supposed the dill
Guilty ended. ~
The military held control of the polls
until thoir close. We have heard OF no
disturbance since The one at halfpast
two. and believe. that had the negroes
been free from Radical influence, that
would not have occurred to mar the day
with its blood,
We arc sincerely rejoiced that the day
is past. and think that the Democratic
party has not only done it's duty by being
moderate, forbcaring and temperate, but
it has risen nobly to Il man and cast a
largely increased vote for right, truth and
liberty.

Gen. Grants Election.

TIE election yesterday resulted in the
triumphant election of General U. 5.
Grant for President, and the Hon. Schulz
yer Colfax for Vice President. The De-
mocracy made as good a fight as could
have been expected under the circumstan-
stances surrounding that party. In that
fight we have been defeated, and we
submit to the will of the people as at all
timos right and proper, whether for OF
against us.
General Grant is now entitled to re-
ceive fair trial in the Executive chair,
and we hope that the Democratic party
will, as far as in their power, support and
sustain him. He has had the wisdom to
keep his own councils, to hold his tongue
between his teeth, and now, unpledged to
any party, and uncommittod to any policy,
he becomes President ofthe United States
His election may be made the triumph
of real conservative sentiments;. Tor
though the candidate of Radical ex-
trenlsts, and elevated by that party, he
had to be taken by them Notwithstanding
the uniform conservatism that marked
his course of conduct, as we'll during the
war as since the return of peace. No
single sentiment of extreme Radlcalism
could be extorted from him even to serve
the purposes of a most excited canvass.
His simple "Let us have peace" was a
conservative interpolation upon the Chi-
cago platform, indicating but little sym
pathy with the extreme views Of Radical
leaders.
1t will not surprise us if, before year
has rolled round, the Democratic party
shall be called upon to rally to the support
of General Grant, as they were compelled
to come to that Of President johnson.
He cannot lond the power and influence
of his exalted position to the violence OF
the party that has elected him; he will
be conservative of the Constitution, and
give the weight of his influence to the
promotion of true and genuine reconstruc'
ton. Unless he throws himself, body
and soul, into the hands Of the extreme
men of his party, they will war upon him
as they did upon President Johnson.
If they still hold bis hands tied by un-
constitutional legislation, and divest him
of his constitutional powers, as they did
President johnson, rupture in the party
is irresistible. If they restore to him his
rightful prerogatives, he has the popular
voice with him so potent ard powerful
that he will find it more to his interest to
be true and just to his country, rather
than violent and proscriptiye at the de-
mands of his party.
General Grant will be no puppet in the
hands of party leaders; he demonstrated
in the field of battle an individuality and
will which wholly preclude the idea of
his being used by any man or set of men
to do the behests of his party against the
interests of his country. We therefore
bespeak cordial and hearty support OF
the Democratic party for General Grant,
believing him entitled to it from his cleo
ton, as we'll as from the salient and strong
points of his Observation-Disclosures Com
mercial, (Dem.)

xeHon. Horatio Seymour: I see it an
nounced in the papers this morning that
Won will enter the Presidential canvass in
person. trust this may be SO, as the
present position of public affairs justifcs
and demands it.
ut is. hoped and believed by your
frionds that all enemies to constitutional
government, whether secret or avowed,
will not be spared, and that their arbitra-
rv and unjust usurpations, together with
their wastefuI, profigate and corrupt use
of the peoples treasure, will be signally
exposed and rebuked.
ttThe masses of the people should be
aroused and warned against the encroach-
;roerts Of the despotic power now ready
sfo enter the citadel of liberty.
saI trust that you may speak with an
inspired tongue, and that your voice may
s,enetrate every just and patriotic breast
throughout the land.
aLet the living principles OF the viola
ted Constitution be proclaimed and re-
stored, that peace, prosperity, and frater,
nal feeling may return to our DIVIDED ana
oppressed nation. 7ou,so,.

THE PRESIDENTS LAST MESSAGE.

There is degree of interest, at once sad
and peculiar, with which rejecting minds
will be likely to peruse the last message OF
President johnson. The most remarkable
quality which he has displayed in his execu-
tive acts and writings is the iniexibility of
his logical conscience. If it was claimed for
Henry Clay that he "would rather be right
THAI be President, it may be said of johnson
with more truth, perhaps, that be would
rather be consistent than either popular or
successful. Having taken his position in
1866 with regard to Southern restoration, he
has, adhered to the line of logical sequence
froIn that basis, under accumulated discour-
age}nents and defeats, with an unhinching
rectitude almost without example in political
history.
He has recanted nothing, repented nothing.
As in former messages, he tells Congress, in
terms that could not well be exceeded in Co
gency, that their plan of reconstruction has
been as pernicious in result as it was unjust
in design. Of course, they will spurn his
recommendation that they Immediately repeal
the reconstruction laws, and laws of similar
character, such as "should not be permitted
to stand as monuments of the deficient wis
dom which has characterized our recent legis-
lat'on." But this last message, in Its testi-
mony against them, sounds like the solemn
and irreversible Judgment of history. 1t puts
upon them and their party the responsibility
of three years of agitation and strife that has
left the country further from union and fra
teruhl feeling than it was when the conflict of
arIos ceased. And this responsibility will
weigh heavier and look blacker from this time
forth.
Apart from the reference to the subject of
Wesx Indian annexation, of which we have
elsefhere spoken, the only new feature of a
noteworthy character is the suggestion that
the 5ondholders be paid off in semi-annual
instalments, equal to the interest on their
bonas-the interest to stop meantime-so
that the principal of the public debt would
be 9xtinguished in little upwards of sixteen
years. Inasmuch as they bought their bonds
at large discount, and have received in in
terest about as much as they originally in
vested, there is hardly question that SUBJ
stantial justice would be afforded by this ar
ranoeyuent

Mrs. HARRIET BEECHER STowE CONVERTED
We hear from Florida that Mrs. Beecher stowe,
the sutboress of " Uncle Toms Cabin" who a
year or two ago bought place on the 81. Johns
river, near jacksonville, says she wants to live
long enough To write another book to correct the
mistakes OF "Uncle Tom" and show that great
blunder was committed when slavery was abol.
shed. From original condition of sentimental at.
tachment TO the negro, she has lspsed into state
OF uncoDquerable dislike and aversion. She will
not have them about her. either indoors or out.
She turned them all of her place, and allows no
one with black skin to approach her. We are
told that an acquaintance Of ours sought to send
her message by q black stewardess on board
steamboat, but she refused to allow the negro to
approach her. Her mind, as we have been credi.
bly, informed, 10 very much infiamed against the
negro, and this, probably, from comparing their
efficiency and aptitude as laborers and servants
with that of the Northern whites. Der fancy pic
ture of the African has been spoiled, and her SEN
timental sfectation has turned, in consequence.
to violent aversion. Like Squeers, the milk Of
human sympathy in her bosom has turned to curd
and whey.-thscon (Gs.) Telegraph.

The project of opening communication be-
tween the Mississippi river and tide water, by
means of canal from some point near New
Orleans to the Rigolets, is one which, if con-
summated, can scarcely fail to be of immense
advantage to the city. Snch a canal is pro-
posed by a company chartered at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. 1t is to commence in
the vicinity of Carrollton, whence it will fol-
low line inside of the ridge, say near the
line of Broad street, and from the city limits
by direct route to the Rigolets The shall
lower water outside of the Rigolets is to be
deepened, and thus communication by a
straight line of not more than forty-fve miles,
say from New Orleans to Ship Island. is to be
opened with the deep waters of the gulf.
There can be no doubt of the vast importance
of this enterprise, since it WILL if properly
carried into effect, make New Orleans cheap
port, instead of being, as now, the dearest
in the world. Besides affording us a new har-
Dor in the rear of the city, where we can es-
tablish our wharves, warehouses and grain
elevators, it will cut off the hundred and
twenty miles of tortuous and tedious river
navigation, and enable us to get rid of the
onerous charges, and exactions, and monopo-
lies which low affiict our commerce. In this
point of view the subject is one which re-
quIres and deserves more elaborate discussion
than we can devote to it this morning and
we shall, therefore, postpone our detailed ex-
animation for another day. We speak, of
course, of the enterprise as a commercial
measure, without reference to the form of the
scheme by which the company propose to
effect the object. The point is TO have the
thing done in the best and speediest manner
1t would be well, therefore, for the company
to satisfy the public that the work is to be
undertaken in good faith, and that the fran
chises obtained, or demanded, are not excessive
Let the project, as presented, be examined by
competent persons in whom the community

portance there should be no appearance of
