The reports of elections in Spain do not
refer to elections for the Constituent Assem-
bly,, or Cortes, hut to the municipal elections
which have recently taken place in the large
cities and towns. The elections for the
Cortes are fixed for some time during the
present month. In the meantime there have
been formidable republican demonstrations
IN Seville, and Jerez de la Frorertera, as well
as in Cadiz and Malaga AS usual, the cities
are liberal and democratic, whilst the country
people still remain more or less under the
dominion of the sacerdotal class. This differ
ence of thought and of character may render
pacific solution of the Spanish problem i'm

The New York Tribune accounts for the
ogechee: troubles by the very convenient and
ingenious sheory that the white employers
tried to cheat the negroes of their earnings,
and that tug negroes merely proceeded to set
tie their oeh accounts in accordance with ga
certain ruiz sense of justice" The Tribune
fortifies tbS view of the case by referring to
the outbte43is caused the year before by the
general attinpt of the planters-this is the
Tribunes 3atement-to defraud their labor
ers. The .tribune's history is false, and its
inferencee Ere, doubtless, just as untruthful
The only outbreaks among the negroes that
have occui Fed in the South, were instigated
by prowling carpet-baggers and renegade seal
awags, fof tho purpose, probably, of bolster
ing up the mendacious recitals of the Tri-
bune's ch9ished correspondents, Conway and
Shelley.

Mr.. Wells, the commissioner of internal
revenue, thinks that, under an honest system
of collection, and without increase of taxes.
the revenue collections ought to be $3.50, OOO,-
OOo per dnn'on. Mr.. Washburne puts the
figure at S45O,OOO,OOo, and supposes that
there will be no financial trouble if Congress
VIII practice reasonable economy. But who
is to prevent Radical ofice-holders from
stealing, and who is to make a Radical Con-
gress economical? Plumber is the prime
object of Radical policy and the first principle
OF radical politics Without chance to

congressman would be as badly off as a
burglar In an empty bank, and as resentful

The public debt statement for January

cember. of this increase So $50, coo is in

States hol9 a second mortgage. The amount
of gold in tho treasury is S9S, 763, 1858 81, an

The Republican congratulates the public
that Louisiana six per cent. levee bonds have
advanced in New York to sixty-six and a half
Very gratifying, doubtless but who gets the
benefit of the advance? If these bonds are
worth sixty-six and half now, why were
they sold for fifty-two a month ago? Perhaps
little explanation of this point would be
more agreeable to the public than the bare
statement that the bonds were sold at foar-
teen cents below their value. We believe that
S1,S00,000 of bonds were sold-the difference
between the price received and the price now
is about slS2 600. What brilliant financial

The Republican finds two features to ap-
prove in the New Orleans school bill intro.
duced by one Carr first that indiscreet per-
sons shall not be appointed directors and
second, that teachers who have been a credit
to the schools shall not be removed. But who
is to be the judge in these cases? The COVER
nor is to appoint the directors, and the direc-
tors are to appoint the teachers. Are we to
suppose that the governor would appoint in
discreet persons if not restrained by the vague
terms of the law? And whom does the gov
ernor consider discreet persons? Of course,
only such JUS belong to his faction, and who
will displsy their discretion by attempting to
force thef system of mixed schools on the
people of New Orleans Moreover, as, accord
ing to the Radical theory, only " trooly loil
persons are possessed of any virtues, and as
only Radicals are trooly loil," only Radical
Instructors will be considered credit to the
schools. We have already had some expert
ence of tlie Kind of teachers furnished by the
trooly lbil: plan, and we don't'want it re-
peated. Under that regime, the administra-
tion of the public schools of New Orleans was
a disgrace 70 a civilized community.

Du Che'llu relates that among certain tribe
of African men and brothers, when new king
is chosenI the whole population surround the
expeetant monarch and revile him in bitter
terms, kick him, pull his hair and tear his
clothes-if he happens to have any-all be-
cause the Object of these delicate attentions is
not king yet, and the people want to revenge
themselves in advance for his possible short
comings. iSome of the Radicals seem incl;nad
to treat rant in the same way. Senator Ed
munds wants to prohibit him from anno;nt;r,,
his military friends to cabinet Offices o,ho.
Radicals senators insist on tvinc b;s bord,
with the fenure-of-ofice act, and Wendell Phil
lips scoldt at him like an accomplished fish
woman yihey are afraid that after all, thew
have elected master and not servant.

GRANT AVID CONGRESS.

The passage through the House of bill re-
pealing the tenure of Office act, under the
spur of the previous question, looks very much
like surrender of the Radical majority in
that branch of Congress to Grant If the
event is not distorted by the telegraph, the
bill is a clear retreat from the position which
Congress, in its war against johnson. took up
in the very citadel of the executive Office. A
retrograde movement of this kind has a world
of significance. If the Senate follows the
House. the relations between Congress and
the incoming President will be foreshadowed
with defniteness almost equal to certainty.
1t will mean that the Radical leaders in the
two houses have mentally measured their
strength in comparison with that of the IRON
headed and leaden-tongued soldier whom they
were compelled. in their political distress, to
nominate for President, and that they have de-
SPARED of making out of him mere automaton
OF Radical legislation. Some of the Radical pa
pers hooted and spurned the thought that Con-
gress should relax what they pleased to call the
salutary checks of the tenure of office act in
favor of Grant, or any President, even though
he were George Washington redivivus.
Thus the New York Tribune at one time spoke
But gradually this sort of speech subsidized.
Even the Tribune's knees showed signs of
genufexile tendency before the coming
man." The Radical leaders saw that public
opinion was drifting away from them with
regard to this question. With the fiexibility
Characteristic of mere political tricksters and
adventures, most of them are making haste
to adapt themselves to the change. Having
nominated Grant, because the nomination
was Hobson's choice, they are now going, it
would seem, to unite his executive hands for
a like reason. The question between them
and Grant was surrender or fight" for both
parties, and Congress, apparently, has con-
cluded to surrender.

We areglad to see that Mr.. Noble has intro
duced feFolution in the House, calling on
the governor for information as to the DISPOSE
ton mades of the six per cent levee bonds.
1t is said that these bonds were sold in New
York at fiity-two cents. 1t is also stated that
higher offer than this was made for them in
the New Orleans market, and the Republican
now declares that they are worth sixty-six and
half I'M New York. 1t is likewise stated
that no portion of the proceeds has vet been
paid to the treasurer. Let us have light on
this poinl If the people are to nav these
bonds at par and receive only ffty-two cents
for them, they would, at least, like to know
that they commanded their value at the time
OF sale: and that the money accruing from
them is properly disposed OF.

A remarkable murder, which is destined,
perhaps, to rank among the causes cel56res,
was recently committed in New York. A well
known gentlemen named Rogers was assault
ed IN Twelfth street and murdered, in broad
daylight. Nobody came to his assistance no
policeman was at hand, and the assassin qui-
city walked away, leaving his murdered victim
on the pavement. Rogers made a fierce
struggle'with his assailant, so fierce that he
retained in his grasp portion of the latters
garments containing a watch and chain, and
letter envelop addressed to flames Logan"
The manner of the preparation of this crime.
as to the circumstances of time and place. il
suggestive, not more of the character of the
criminal than of the condition of the society
IN which the event occurred. Under an ordi-
narily efficient system of police, law-breakers
are driven to employ the resources of inge-
nuity and strategy and cunning. Murders
are committed, but they are committed in
the dead of night, or in places screened from
observation, and precautions are taken to
avoid detection and avert capture. When
the robber boldly assaults his victim in the
street in broad daylight, and coolly does him
to death with knife or pistol in case of resist
ance, and then as coolly walks away and effects
his escape, it may be taken for granted that
he has calculated in advance, on the inefi-
cheney OF the police system and of its agents.
Just such an event as this might have been |
predicted as sure to take place under the |
operation OF system which takes the care of |
property and life out of the hands of those |
who are directly affected, and places it in |
charge of an alien authority. This is, in re-
atty, the character of the metropolitan
police system, invented by the Re-
publican party in New York for the purpose
of sublugating the people of the city and of
retaining the political control of the State.
The city of New York is great community,
having immense interests of its own to de-
end and protect; and having the natural right
% defend and protect those interests by the
means which its own people may consider
pest adapted to that end. 1t is, in fact, gov
'rned, even as to its most peculiarly domestic
md local affairs, by body of men, large
majority of whom do not reside within its
limits; but who meet at Albany and thence
ssume to direct the concerns of city in
which their only interest is that of a faction
irving to perpetuate its ascendancy in the
tate. OF course the local rights and inter
SITS OF community thus governed will al
rays be sacrificed to the presumed interests
I the governing party. New Orleans holds,
nth reference to Louisiana, the same position
hat New York city holds with reference to
be State of New York, with the aggravation
hat the State government is in the hands of
insignificant faction of plunderers and
dventurers who represent neither the people
the city nor the people of the State. And
lis faction now purposes to usurp the right '
the people of New Orleans to govern them !
Ives and to guard and defend their lives and
leir property. /

A correspondent of the New York World
requests that paper to call on the executors of
the late Thaddeus Stevens to state on oath
whether or not there were found, among his
assets, 100000 in Pacific Railway bonds not
mentioned in his will. The inquiry does
not involve or intend any reflection on the
executors, but implies some relations between
the Pacific Railroad ring and the great Radi-
cal leader, not very creditable to the latter.
