The London Press on Motley's Reception.
BIZ Atlantic Gable.
LONDON, May 3l.-The London Star, in alu-
sion to the reception of Minister Motley in Liver
pool, says that it is assured, on the best au-
thority, that Mr. Motley comes charged with
mission of peace and for the purpose of cOncilia'
ton and binding closer the ties of friendship
between the two nations. The writer entirely
repudiates the statements that have been pro-
mulgated to the effect that the Minister comes
armed with an authority to demand an imme-
date settlement OF the Alabama claims.
This statement Is regarded merely as news
paper "bosh," the star not having the slightest
authority to speak on behalf of the Minister.
Mr.. Motley arrived in London at half-past 5
o'clock, and is stopping at Maurigny's Hotel in
Regent street.

SPAIN.
Did She Ever Intend to Make War Against the
United Statest


United Statese
This morning the following article is given great
prominence on the editorial page OF the New York
Times
statement made not long since by Mr.. II. J.
Perry our Secretary Of Legation in Spain, to the
effect that the Government Of Spain had resolved at
one period OF our civil war, to commence war
against the United States has excited good deal of
attention and curiosity.
From information that has since reached u.s. we
are inclined to belive the statement well founded
The determination of Spain was brought about by
the intrgues Of the Emperor Of the French and was
based on complaint that our Government had been
guilty of violation of neutral rights The 9th Of
October, 1853, was fixed upon as the day for COM
mencing hostllities, orders to that effect having
already been sent out by the Spanish Government
But through the active efforts OF liberal Spanards
devoted friends OF cause as identical with their
own, counter orders were sent out by the steamer
from Cadiz OF September l5 1868, and the whole
affair was suppressed.
In the present condition of Spanish politics it
would be highly tmprudent to disclose the names of
the persons who rendered us this service. They are
all nOw since the revolution, prominent public men,
and their positions and influence would be seri-
ously compromised by premature disclosure of
their agency in this transaction. But the time will
probably come before long when their names can be
made known and we can award them the acknOw-
Judgments their friendly services deserve.

THE PRESS,
Tue Late Revival orLibeI Suits.


The New York Herald this morning ends long
article on newspaper libel suits as follows:-
For some years there was quite a lull in these re-
speCts, and libel suits rather few and far be-
tween. But lately they have been revived and at
rate so tremendous that, in comparison with the de-
mands made upon the press by offended honesty in
former years, they but a moth upon the
smo kestack OF a locomotive. The Irresistible and
IRE pressible James Fisk, r, of Grand-Oper
Railroad notorety, first began to have recourse to
this sort OF rehabilitation OF wounded honor and he
OPT ned with libel suit for 100000 against Mr.
Bowles, Of the Springfield Republican, and he
quit KY followed IL up by another against
Mr. Greeley Of the Tribune, for a like sum- then
against Mr.. NorYell, OF the Times claiming another
100000, and finally against Mr. Raymond for the
snug amount Of a round million. Not TO be outdone
by The railway impetuosty of Mr.. Fisk, Mr.. John
Russell Young has commenced about ten suits in
diff rent parts OF the country, and two three of
them in this city, and two in Philadelphia, each at
the exact figure OF Sl00,000a trine less would not
satisfy him. The EUeHiHg Mirror at Indianapolis has
lately been sued for $50 900 damages for libel by
Tacott; and a case is now pending at Pttsburg, by
an eX-member of the Pennsylvania State Legislature
against the Pittsburg Leader, which journal had
charged him with vanity and corruption. Thus the
revival Of libel suits goes bravely on all over the
country. There are now no less than 156 libel suits
pending against editors or publishers in this country
by pCrsonages who claim plaster of greenbacks for
their wounded reputation, and the total amount OF
damage alleged to be done to these 1856 injured plain
ti1s sums up S4I 100000, Who will deny hereafter
the power OF the press? ...

The Gold and Stock Markets.
New YORK, June 1.-The money market has
been rather active this morning. Gold opened
at 1889, advanced to 1885, and at IL o'clock
had reached 1881, and now stands 1894 with
fair business doing. There is no indication of
much immediate change in the exchange
market, so that the money market will also be
for some days without any very material change.
In the stock market, which is tolerably active,
Pittsburg and Pacific Railroads are the features.
The former opened ut 1861, and rapidly reached
1851. It is now quoted at 105. The latter has
auctuated between 1915 and 1875.

To see what is not to be seen"


Grants policy, if he has any, in reference to
the South, is as yet an enigma-it Is neither
expressed nor understood.
In plain terms, he expresses the desire to in
vest DISTINGUISHED negroes with the right Of
suffrage, but says not word in favor Of resto-
ring suffrage to the thousands Of white people
in the South who have been uniustly and
wrongfully deprived of that right.
The mode in which the DISTINGUISHED negroes
are to be made voters is more Objectionable
even than the end proposed to be attainec, for
il removes the foundation stone from the struc-
ture of States Rights For this mode of ac-
compshing universal negro suffrage in tie sew
eral States Of the Union he can find no warrant
in the constitution of the United States which
he is sworn to preserve, protect and maintain,
on the contrary, it is in direct contravention CT
the views and purposes Of the wise trainers Of
that instrument Nor is he under any party
obligation to recommend this mode for the
platform upon which he was elected not only
does not express approval. but, in plain terms,
disapproval, for it declares that the question of
suffrage is one for the several loyal States to
determine each for itself. This mode violates
this principle Of the Republican platform, for
it allows three-fourths Of the Legislatures of
the States to determine the question Of suffrage
in one fourth of the States, however much
they may be opposed. This policy is in con-
travention both Of the constitution and of the
Republican platform. and if consummated,
States Rights principles. It will be a seven
