POSTAL TELEGRAPH OPERATIONS IN ENG
LAND.-We give an extract from q London
magazine showing the gradual absorption Of
the materid of the various private telegraph
companies in England by the government, and
predicting that by the middle of the year the
telegraph will have passed into the hands of
the Postmaster General for the carrying out
from that time the telegraphic service of the
country by the Post Office Department. While
England is thus pressing forward in the
march Of telegraphic reform it is folly for this
country to remain idle. Let us try, at least,
the experiment Of postal telegraphing at the
earliest practicable moment. The people
expect this OF the present Congress.

Spain-The Carlist Rising I'm Catalonia.
A cable telegram informs us that the Car
lists have risen in Catalonia. We do not i'm
agine that there is any very strong feeling in
Spain in favor of restoring the elder branch of
the Spanish Bourbons. Cabrera, we know,
still lives, and in spite of the hopelessness of
the cause still hopes and works in the interest
Of the heir of Don Carlos. Cabrera, however,
is little likely ever to see the legitmist cause
triumphant. In itself it is not strong, and it
is doubtful if the leadership of Cabrera can in
any material sense contribute to its prosperity
It's main hope consists in an alliance with the
Church; but the Church for the present is in
alliance with the democrats, or liberal mo-
anarchists. The liberal monarchists, or demo-
cratic royalists, as they are sometimes named,
are the masters Of the situation. They are
largely in sympathy with the provisional gov
eminent. Who is to be the future King of
Spain is question which few would like to
answer positively. There are four probable
candidates-the Prince of the Asturias, Don
Ferdinand Of Portugal, the Duke de Montpen-
sier, and Prince Amadeus, Duke of Aosta,
the second son Of Victor Emanuel The
one popular cry Of the revolution has been
"Down with the Bourbons" This cry, in
our opinion, is fatal at once to the
hopes of the Count dc Montemolin, the Prince
of the Asturias and the Duke de Montpensier.
That the son and heir Of Isabella has friends
no one can doubt; but the provisional govern
ment will not nominate him, and the Spanish
people can have no desire for another re-
gency. The Duke de Montpensier is not with
out chance; but he is the one candidate
whom Napoleon would least willingly see on
the Spanish throne; and it is doubtful if
Spain, although in matter of this sort she is
little impatient of dictation, will be SO bold
as to oppose the Emperor's wishes. Don
Ferdinand would, perhaps, be the best man
that could be selected. He is an able ruler.
His next heir is sovereign of Portugal, and the
reunion of the peninsula would be natural
consequence in time. It is extremely doubt
full, however, whether Don Ferdinand
would again trouble himself with the
cares Of State; and it is quite certain
that he is not a man to the taste of
the members of the provisional government.
The last candidate we named was the Duke of
Aosta. Public opinion is gradually settling
down on him. He is a young man Of twenty
five years, of fair ability, has the passionate
will of his family, is good Catholic, but Of
liberal sentiment, and has already son and
heir. He is generally supposed to be the can
didate Of Napoleon; and it is strange to
observe that he is the legal heir under the
treaty which finally gave the Spanish throne
to the Bourbons. According to that treaty,
failing the Bourbons, the throne of Spain
should 60 to the house of Savoy. The Bour-
bons, of course, have not failed in the sense
intended by the treaty; but the fact will have
some influence with a people who are not
without historic pride. Time will soon settle
the question.

STRIKING ALL ROUND THE CIRoLE.-The
printers are at it; SO are the sailors so are
the tailors, and now the plasterers threaten to
strike, too. The plasterers earn six dollars
daylight hours labor-and they think that
six is bad number in that relation. They
fancy the statement would be better II IL were
eight dollars for eight hours. They have an
eye to symmetry. Truly, these mechanical
occupations are not bad in the year of grace
1869!

We hope the Improvement is real, and that the
Territorial member was not put down because
OF his comparative insigniicance. We shall
watch to see IL the same rule applies to big

chance for justice against the gas companies.
They may do what they please in some
respects, give us gas or not and make their

can make them pay. Thus gas man went
into the cellar to view the meter, lighted a

have whitfield down Grant and the Cabinet

keep his obligations as a man Of honor; but
he may have his own idea as to the power to

that duty to the country stands quite as high
as party fealty.

RIDICULED Our OF MARRIAGE.-The
Toledo Blade states that an old farmer of
seventy in Cuyahoga county, Ohio, with
family of grown up children, became smitten
with damsel of sixteen and wanted to marry
her. His children put him into lunatic asylum
as insane, from which he was glad to emerge
upon giving promise to an Ohio judge that
he sdidn't want to marry anybody, any how"
He was fairly ridiculed and lunacied out of his
passion. Such cases are managed differently
in New Jersey. There a suit for breach Of
promise, with damages laid at forty thousand
dollars, would have been Immediately COM
menced by the disconsolate fair one and the
world of gossip set on tiptoe of excitement at
the developments as the case progressed.

the courts there are good traditions.

Minister Rosecrans in Mexico-What 1
He DOIngs


There are all kinds Of rumors about the
movements of Rosecrans in Mexico. He ap-
pears to be getting up another White Sulphur
Springs excitement. First, we hear Of certain
railroad jobs which he is supposed to be
pushing through the Mexican Congress; next,
an effort or two towards the restoration Of the
old Church party to power next, the Mexican
papers denounce him for limiting at annexation
to the United States, and accuse President
Johnson Of backing him up. We can assure
the Mexicans that they need have no fear
about annexation for few months yet, and
that Rosecrans is simply making himself ridicu-
lous in agitating the question. He is not the
man for United States Minister to that country,
and his follies there prove this. Mexico is a
problem which General Grant will settle at
the proper moment and in the most eficacious
manner; for Mexico is full of future too
closely connected with the United States-or
rather that grand, progressive march of civil
ization called the United States-for us to let
her go on in the track of revolution and
leopard our Southwestern interests Let Rose
Grams be patient for time, for there is soon
to be complete overturning of all the foreign
and home appointments, wherein men will
come to the front representing the new party
Of reform, economy and public good, which
has General Grant at its head.

Club, which we suspect is one of the many
forms ''the Farmers Club" can assume at

whether pumpkins and squashes are vegeta-

fruit, and belong to the Fruit Growers Club;
but If vegetables they belong to the Farmers
Club, and these bodies, each anxious to
mind its own business cannot move till the

ST. LOUIS JEALOUS OF New York JUSTICE
The st. Louis Democrat, commenting upon the
conviction and sentence Of Blaisdell and Eckel
in this city for whiskey frauds, says :-''How
on earth II happened that these persons we're

Louis, not long ago, we had cases Of the same
character, presented and argued with great
ability by General Noble, and sustained by q
mass Of evidence which, to reader, seemed
about as strong as that in the New York cases.
But nobody was surprised that the prosecu-
ton failed In st. Louis. The wonder is that II
succeeded In New York" Our Western friends
