The new candidate for the Spanish throne
who has been brought forward, Prince Au-
gustus of Portugal, is brother of the pres ent
King Of Portugal, and the youngest son of
Don Fernando, who recently declined the
throne. Prince Augustus is twenty-five years
old, and marriage between him and
daughter of the Duke of Montpensier, it is
thought, may satisfy both the partisans of the
latter and those who prefer Portuguese prince.

A TRUE VERSION OF The GRANT AND SUM-
NER "QUARREL. The President was just
about to depart for the Interior Department,
and his few remaining moments were occupi-
ed with important papers requiring his sigma
ture. The President sent worl that he was
very busy, but would see him, notwithstand-
ing, in few moments. Mr.. Sumner sent
word back in substance: "Say to the Presi
dent never call unless have business of i'm
portance, but if he is very much occupied
will not press an interview to-day" He then
retired to the War Department, and laid the
matter before General Rawlins, and in confer
epce with the Postmaster-G General day OF
two afterward, the appointment of Mr.. Turner
as postmaster at Macon, Ga, was arranged.
The statement that any GOODNESS exists be-
tween the President and Mr.. Sum ler on this
account, or that the latter used the uncivil Ian
guage attributed to him, is untrue.-N. Y

the administration either as to the foreign or

A NEW TEST OF PATRIorIsM.- Stickney
of the Presque Isle Sunrise, unites the duties
of editor and Postmaster-like Nasby. In his
last paper he Publishes a philosophical treatise
on the superscription Of letters, giving many
curious illustrations. We are not at present
prepared to endorse without reservation the
theory set forth in the following paragraph
with only limited time for collatng facts and
for reflection:
Stamps on letters should be placed on the
upper right hand corner. Putting them on the
other corner or on any other part of the letter,
takes up the time of the Postmaster in cancel
ing them. To put stamp on letter bottom
up or face down, indicates that the writers
have no reverence or respect for the memory OF
Franklii /, Washington, Jackson, and other
great men of an age gone by whose likenesses
adorn the stamps. We always think we can
measure mans patriotism and love of coun-
try by the manner that he places his stamp on
his letters.

GRANT A MODERATE FREE TRADER.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Evening Post (free trade) says that prominent
official, who is strong prohibftionist, recently
called upon President Grant for the purpose
of ascertaining his views upon the tariff ques-
ton. In reply to question the President
said that he was decidedly opposed to any leg
islation which had for its object an increase in
the taxation of articles or merchandise i'm
ported into the United States, as he did not
believe the revenues of the country required
it. He would not conceal the fact that he be-
leved a small tariff was necessary, but he
would like to see the revenues of the country
raised as far as possible from internal taxes,
and not from heavy duties upon imported
goods
