MADRID. MAJ Is, 1862
Unfortunately for themselves, fortunately per-
haps for the country, the blasphtmous speeches OF
several republican deputies IN fhe late sessions of
the C0rtes especially those Of Senior Suher Cap
devia and Of Sehor Garcia Ruiz. have done more
injury to their party, and given more strength 10 the
monarchical cause than thousand protests Of
their adversaries could have erected. storm Of
Indignation has been aroused against them. Senor
Suher, doctor in Barcelona, where he was also
Alcalde, was already known by his famous declara-
tion--'The two enemies Of mankind are consump-
ton and God % ia fists DiosD The debate upon
the article Of the constitution authorizing liberty of
worship gave him the opportunity OF developing
his opinions. When he begun by remarking that
since the expulsion OF the Moors the philosophy Of
Descartes had not been able to penetrate into Span
thanks to the sensual hypocrte" Isabel the First
and to the "ungrateful and dssolute' Isabel the
Second there were some murmurs in the House,
especially as regarded his appreciation Of
the Catholic Isabel. But when, after scof1ng
at all religion, expressing his desire that
none should exist in Spain, affecting TO enter into
the origin OF all religious belief, showing his gross
hammedanlsm and Christianity, he denied the ex-
istence OF God the divinity of Christ, insuted the
purity OF the Virgin denounced an absurdity the
doctrine OF the Trinity, there arose so much con-
fusion and clamor that the President vany called
to order, and at length declared that the Deputy
should not continue his discourse. After much
fusion Suner sat down ana the republican party left
the House.
we decline following his worthy successor and COM
panlon, Senior Garcia Ruiz, through the tissue OF
blasphemies with which he followed out the argu-
Inents OF his friend Wewould willingly do justice
to the magnificent speech OF the Bishop OF Zaen Sc
rious, moderate and learned, or to that OF the
Chano1ne Monterola. who seemed TO scatter as char
the frothy arguments OF the blasphemers showing
how they plagiarists from Renau and other
intdels. But these are clearly beyond the limits OF
letter. All honest republicans regret the scanda
lous occurrences which have taken place on this
occasion.
The government, it must be allowed are hurrying
the discussion OF the different articles the debates
beginning early and lasting far into the night hoping
before long to put an end to this iDerregnum, the
evll consequences Of which become daily more ap-

Some favor the Duke Of Aosta, some the Prince of
Hohenzollern married to sister Of the King OF
Portugal. Even the name Of Prince Alfred Is brought
In as fitting candidate.
The CarlisIs are preparing for action. Great fears

Each general Is supposed to be privately engaged
In endeavorng to gam over the troops TO his side.
But probably the greatest obstacle to all pacific solu
tons Of the question exists in the ambition Of Gen.
eral Prim. He must be king, regent dictator, presi
dent or director, otherwise he will in all likelihood
conspire against whatever party comes into power.

have they all sown the wind and are reaping the
whirlwind with vengeance. Under these circum-
stances 1t Is perhaps not unnatural that Queen lsa

Senior Figueroa, Minister OF the Treasury gives
little satisfaction TO any party His position IS not
an enviable one. The debate on the subject OF the

could inform them how much Of the loan OF

operation was severe. 81 hope" saidhe, 'that the
answer will be as clear categorical precise

the truth may be- 1t cannot be 30 much 80 as the
panic and terror which have taken possession at
this moment OF all those who are Interested in
Spanish credit and Spanish honor"
The answer OF Figuerola was mysterious. 81 as
the Cortes said he, "tnat the loan is not only
contracted and negotiated but assured.n At the
same time he refused To make known the conditions
off the contract, alleging that 'were they made pub

fresh arms to the enemies of the revolution and
would prevent the loan from being brought TO q
happy terminaton.n
