ResOIved, That the natural convenient and inevi-
table place for the Capital of the Republic is in the
heart of this valley, where the center of population
wealth and power is irresistibly grayitating where
the government, surrounded by numerous millions
of brave and Union-loving citizens, would be for
ever safe against foreign foes sectional seditions
and where it would need neither armaments nor
standing armies for its protection.
ReSotced That while advocating the removal of
the seat of government to the Mississippi Valley,
we do not mean to serve the interests of any par
ticuar locality, but that we urge Congress to ap-
point commission for the purpose of selecting a
convenient site for the National Capital in the
great Valley Of the Mississippi. zf'0
Res0tDed, That in urging the removal OF the Ma
tional Capital from its present inc0nyement Outof
theWay and exposed locality on the extreme S bort
cease in our efforts until that end is accomplished
firmly believing. that the absolute necessity of the
removal will become more apparent every, day,
and the majority of the American people will not
long permit their interests and convenience to be
dsregarded
ResoIued That the removal of the Capital being
only question OF time we empbat1cally oppose
and condemn all expenditures of money for the
enlargement of old government buildings and the
erection of new ones at the present seat OF the Ma
tional Government as useless and wanton waste OF
the property of the people. e~

state that the Republican leaders, Solochea
and Paul, were in the neighborhood of
Malaga, proclaiming the Republic. The
insurgents at Valencia, after battle,
which lasted several hours surrendered
unconditionally on the 18th. Their lead

leading Republicans in Madrid.

force Of the Aattering unction which the Age
lays to the Democratic soul of Phila-
delphia is lost without the context.
The whole sentence runs thus:-"Here, 1t is
what a Democrat would always do; while
radical persists to the last In impudent, bare
faced attempts to take advantage of frauds !"
1t is barely possible that the meaning OF this
is little involved, and that the Age intends
to convey the impression that 1t regards radi-
calism as another name for fraud. But taking
the whole sentence together, we interpret its
meanineto this effect:-That PhiladelphiaDe-
moorat would consent under no circumstances
to profit by fraudulent vote; while Philadel-
phia radical, mindful of his rights and of the
will of the people, will never fail to take ad-
vantage of Democratic fraud by seconding the
laudable efforts of his Democratic friend to
bring to grief the persons guilty Of the fraud.
The expletives 'impudent" and barefaoed,"
in which the Age INDUCES, may cast some
doubt upon the correctness OF our interpreta-
tion; but then the Age is nothing IL not ad-
dicted to the use of harsh words.

The vacant spanish Throne.

A CABLE TELEGRAM from Paris announces that
sit is rumored that Seville and Cadiz have
proclaimed in favor of the Duke Montpensier
for King of Spain" OF all the proposed solu-
tions of the Spanish question this weuld pro-
badly prove least acceptable to Napoleon, but
there is no good reason, aside from his opposi-
tion, why it should not receive the favorable
consideration Of the people most Immediately
and deeply interested. The Duke Montpsnsier
is the third son of Louis Philippe, and the
husband of Maria Louisa Ferdinanda de Bour-
bon, whe is the sister of the exiled ex- Queen
Isabella. This marriage was arranged and
contaminated in 1916 by the willy Louis
Philippe, who was then King of France,

Louisa would eventually become ths
monarohs of Spain; and the alliance was bit
terly opposed by Great Britain on account of
the apparent danger that Il would make the,
Orleans family too powerful. At this time
English statesmen would regard with a much
more favorable eye the elevation of an Orlean-
ist to the vacant throne at Madrid. 1t would
place new check upon the Emperor of
France, for of all his foes he has most to fear
from the descendants of Louis Philippe; aud
the triumph Of one branch of that family
south of the Pyrenees would do much to re-
awaken hopes Of an Orlesnist revival in
Paris, and to turn the attention of the volatile
French people to race that they still afeo-
tioDately remember.
The Duke Montpensier was born in 1924,
and is now in the prime of life. At an early
age he served in the French army, distinguish
ing himself in Algeria, and rising to the rank
Of general in 1916. After his marriage he
attaiEed superior rank in the Spanish army,
and there are strong indications that many of
its officers favor his elevation to the vacant
throne. In the regular order of succession, In
deed, his wife is the legitimate heir If the expul-
sion OF Isabella is to be treated as legal act and
If the principles of legitimacy are to be recog-
nized in the formation of the new government.
This theory can only be questioned by deny
ing that Isabella ever had divine right to
rule, and by affirming that she was usurper
from the outset; but one of the factions in
Spain has always held these opinions, and
ii is reasserting them now.
The Orleanist aspirant and his family were
tlast advices residing in Portugal, intently
watching every movement in Spain, and in
close communication with their numerous
partissns. The Duke offered his military SER
vices to the provisional government a few
months ago, to assist in suppressipg revoll
against the revolution, but they were respect
fully declined AS the correspondence was
published, however, his main point was
gained, for his bid for the sweet voices of the
multitude was spread before every elec:or.

The Journal Of Commerce then proceeds to

tains and into The valley of Great Salt Lake
A remarkable fact in connection with this
great enterprise is the short time
in which the road has been built
Three years ago not moro than
forty miles were completed, two hundred and
sixty-five miles were added la 1866, two nun
dI ed and seventy-fye in 1867, and about ii We
hundred miles in 1868. Such rapidity as this
is unparalleled in the history of railroad en-
gineering. 1t should be borne in mind, too
that there was railroad commu nication at
the starting point when the work was COM
menced.
The entire road has been built beyond all
settlements and i'm provements; 1t has Invaded
the deserts, and, carrying It's own population,
has created an immense business in country
that in reality had no population before the
locomotive penetrated the solitude. great
portion of the material had to be carried more
than one thousand miles before being used IN
the construction of the road. To accomplish
these results, the EN- oloyment of an army OF
laborers has been necessary.
A fact of great interest to all who are con-
cerned In the development and growth OF the
great West is that the Union Pacific Railroad
although uncompleted, and dependent on the
business which 1T has Itself created, earned In
