Four of the Malaga insurgents are reported
to have fired into party of refugees while
under the protection of the American flag.
The nature of this oflense will be better known
after the receipt of details by steamer; but
we deem it safe even now to say that the in
surgents, as a body. were anything but un-
friendly to the United States. The insurrec-
ton at Malaga seems to have sprung from
about the same causes as that of Cadlz; and
the insurgents of Cadz, like the Republicans
of Europe in general, showed an unbounded
confidence in the United States, some of them
even going SO far as to demand annexation to
the great American Republic

The remainder of the Message IS devoted
mainly to attacks upon the Excise law, anu
the Metropolitan Police, Fire and Health laws.
Gov. Hoffman was elected by the votes, legal
and illegal of those determined to overthrow
those laws, and We cannot expect him TO 90
less than speak with reverence of the power
that made him. But in the government OF
the City of New-York the entire State at least
has vital interest. There are at all times IN
the City of New-York about 100000 persons
who are not residents here, and at least lO,OOO
persons who live by preying upon these non
residents. The former require some protection
and the latter special surveillance. There are
few men of any party who doubt that our Po-
lice has been less partisan and more efficient
under the Metropolitan Board than it ever was
before, or that during the riots of 1868 it saved
tho city itself from rapine and destruction.
Our Excise law has, for the first time given the
working classes of New-York "a day of rest
and has lessened by one-half the number OF
crimes and arrests The recent elections prove
that if tho State exercises no vigilance over
the city, the city will at all times roll up vote
that will rule the State. The only question is,
therefore, whether the people of the State will
aid us to maintain some degree of liberty, law,
and order, or whether we shall be given over
to mob laws and vigilance committees. We
propose the former course Mr.. Hoffman pro-
poses the latter

The discovery of another Carlist conspiracy
is announced from Spain. About dozen have
been previously reported as discovered and
suppressed Nowhere has the party yet been
strong enough to excite revolt. Isabella must
have few adherents, for we hear nothing of
either an lsabelan outbreak or of the discov-
cry of IN Isabellan plot Most of those who
formerly were firm supporters of Isabella have
now probably joined the Carlists. But even
combined, the Bourbon party is undoubtedly
not SO strong as the Republican.

No more sensible and just proposition can be
made to the Paris Conference than the one
which Greece is said TO have the intention to
introduce; namely, that the Cretans be allowed
to declare by a general vote whether in future
they shall belong to Turkey or Greece. We
are not without hope that a majority of the
Paris Conference may regard this as the best
solution of the Cretan question.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY

The Underground Railway scheme has fallen
to the ground, to be raised up again, we pre-
sume, in q somewhat different shape. The
charter of the company required that S3,OOO,OOO
of stock should be subscribed by the 1st OF
January, 1869, and 100000 deposited with the
State Controller, to be forfeited if the road
was not completed within the stipulated time
These conditions have not been complied WITH
and the charter consequently becomes void
Notwithstanding the clamor for an under
ground railroad, very few capitalists have been
found willing to invest in the enterprise
The incorporators were ready to subscribe
half the deposit money and about ST.
100000 of stock, but there the business
came to stop. Negotiations with GER
tain English capitalists who offered to build
the road and furnish the money, fell through,
and now the company are about applying to
the Legislature for new charter III which
they will probably demand various important
notifications of the terms agreed upon IN the
old one. We trust they will be listened to in
a generous spirit. for an underground road Is
a public necessity which we may well 20 great
lengths TO satisfy; but due caution must be
exercised 10 insure the speedy completion OF
the work in the most thorough manner, and

A New Club.

The prevalent velocpede mania has led to
the establishment, in New York and in seve-
raj other cities throughout the country, Of
amphicyclotheatrons gymnacycidiums, We
locipedromes and bicyclocurriculums by the
score, and also of numerous clubs. For tho
nonce the horse seems to be as much no.
where in the race for distinction as It was pre-
dictcd that this noble animal would be when
he was first exposed to competition with tho
railway locomotive. But the locomotive failed
to extinguish the horse, and it is altogether
probable that he will survive the rivalry of tho
velocipede, although it must be conceded that
the latter enjoys the economical advantage Of
not eating its own head Off at the expense of
Its owner.
This probability is strengthened by the en-
couraging fact that Mr.. Bruzzesi, one of our
most accomplished professors of horsemanship,
has started, with fair prospect of success, the
project OF establishing 'New York Riding
Club" His appeal to number Of ladies and
gentlemen in behalf of this project has been
very favorably received. We are glad that
this is the casc inasmuch as the contrast be-
tween the superior qualities Of the many
splendid saddle horses which may be daily
seen in the Park and the inferior horseman-
ship OF not few of the riders is often equally
amusing and lamentabe. Bad riders mako
the finest horses ungraceful, disobcdient, and,
finally, vicious. To be rider in the best
sense Of the term 1t is not enough to be able to
sit more or less gracefully on the horse with
ont falling of, and to let il carry one more or
less rapidly from one place to another There
must be correspondence and union between the
horse and the rider The two must be- as II were
one mechanism, each and every part Of which
harmoniously reacts upon the other, while the
will of the rider dominates all. Every move
mcnt and every step of the horse thus como
under the direct control Of the riders mind.
Tho equilibrium Of both rider and horse is thus
secured. Both attain grace and ease of action
and share in improved health, strength and
spirits. Thorough horsemanship Is not only
an elegant accomplishment, and, as such, an
indispensable part Of a complete education, but
IL is also the sole means Of preserving and i'm
proving saddle horses.
To promote thorough horscmaushp and lis
enjoyment under the most favorable crcum-
stances Is the object of the proposed "New
York Riding Club" The value of horseback
riding as healthy exercise is fully appro-
