Spuin and Monarchy.

The revolution which has been in progress
for some months in Spain, and which on ac-
count of its comparative bloodlessness has
called forth not little admiration, does not
appear after all TO have accomplished much
Isabella and her favorite have been got rid of,
and the clerical party has been humbled but
that, if IL be good, is about all the good which
has been accomplished. Montpensier may
prove himself a wiser and better ruler than
Isabella; the tyranny Of the army may be
more beneficial to Spain than the tyranny Of
the Church; but we must wait to see. We
were not without hope, for time, that tAe
impulse of the first vigorous effort would
have carried Spain forward into the freer
regions of republicanism; but the result has
been somewhat disappointing. The first squirt
over, Spain does not appear to have much of
a purpose or to know well what she wants
The future government of the country, as de-
termined by the new constitution, is to be a
hereditary monarchy. Spain is thus to be left
very much as the revolution found her-polti-
cally and religously- better than
before and financially more crippled than ever.
The hour of Spain's final deliverance is, as
vet we fear, far of.

Amid the deluge of musical trash which opSr0
boufe and burlesque brought to our shores il is
a source Of pleasure and qualification to the
true musician to find that the divine art has
found powerful protectors in the Philharmonic
Society and Theodore Thomas, and that the
works OF the great masters receive from them
all the homage and attention due to such
ennobling inspirations. Mr.. Thomas has
labored long and faithfully in the cause Of
good music, and has successfully combated
obstacles which would appear to others insur-
mountable. He has organized an orchestra
which is only eqnalled in this country by the
Philharmonic Society and which cannot be
surpassed in Europe. On every programme
of his symphony soirees may be found novel;
ties, some of which are brought out here
before they are heard in Europe Even the
wild vagaries of Liszt and Wagner, which few
conductors in France, Germany or England
will attempt, are tanned into harmony by
Thomas orchestra. One distinguishing trait
in the career of this musician is that under no
circumstances has he ever descended to intro
duce trash on his programmes, although every
effort has been made to induce him to do so.
We are happy to find that his symphony
soirees and Sunday concerts at Steinway Hall
this season have been so far remarkably
successful

THE UNKINDEsT Cur OF ALL.-It is given
out that G. NJ Wilder, nominated by General
Grant as postmaster at Columbia, S. c., is q
negro. II this be SO 1t Is the boldest step that
has yet been taken at Washington in defiance
of the Southern prejudices of caste and color,
aud step, too, the consequences of which to
the administration in alternating or conciliating
the South Carolina whites will soon appear.
It may prove to be wise experiment; but we
apprchend that black man for postmaster OF
Columbia, S. c., if appointed, will, by the
whites of that locality. be regarded as the
''unkindest cut Of all"
The New York herald., 1869-04-04

GENERAL GRANT Nor AFRAID OF THE
NIGGERs.-It appears that two American
citizens of African descent have been nomi-
mated by General Grant as justices OF the
peace for the District of Columbia; that B. F.
Joubert, nominated as internal revenue as
SCISSOR for the First district of Louisiana,
belongs TO the colored aristocracy of New
Orleans, and that G. NJ. Wilder, nominated as
postmaster for Columbia, S. c., is also q
''colored gemmcn." These nominations on
the part of General Grant indicate decisive
policy in behalf of the equal rights of the
black citizen with the white man in the matter
Of the Offices, and 1t is movement which
draws the line sharp and clear between his
administration and the democratic party, and
brings even the conservative republicans OF
the anti-nigger equality school to face the
music. Moreover, Lieutenant Governor Dunn,
of Louisiana (black man undilutcd), was on
Friday last accorded confidential interview
at the White House, which proves that Gen
eral Grant Is not afraid Of the niggers and has
taken his stand by them as the keynote of his
administration on the negro question.
The New York herald., 1869-04-04

NAVY RANK.-All the talk about the rank
of surgeons, paymasters and engineers in the
navy is inconsequential babble. Porters bill
is right. If this bill is wrong, tyrannical and
abusive, IL will drive good men out of these
posts; and, so far as good surgeons are in
cluded, the other officers will certainly be the
sufferers. But the advantages Of the bill are
sufficient to justify the experiment. Let us
try II, and see IL il drives good men out. IF IL
does, those now in its favor will be ready
enough for its repeal
The New York herald., 1869-04-04

PRESIDENT GRANT AND THE CUBANs.-The
Spaniards in Cuba are, it appears, stepping
rapidly beyond the recognized bounds Of
healthy executive action. They have laid
hands on an American citizen and placed
his life in jeopardy. M. Casenovia, a citizen
of the United States, visiting Cuba lately was
seized and placed in prison. His daughter, q
lady residing in New York, has had the case
submitted to President Grant through friend,
and the President, with his usual promptness.
telegraphed orders to Admiral Hoff, in COM
mand of our naval forces at Havana, to
''protect all American citizens" The Span
iards will know what this means, particularly
when coming from President Grant.

Ex-PREsIDENT JoHNsoN's RESURRECTION
Ex-President johnson arrived in Knoxville,
Tenn, from his home at Greenville, yesterday,
in q state of convalescence from his recent
illness. He enjoyed very complimentary
reception from an assemblage Of his friends
numbering over five thousand persons. He
entered on vindication of his official life, to
the completion of which he will devote the
remainder Of his days-if his days have any
remainder-for, as Mr. johnson remarks, his
obituary having been published at length, he
thought he should be regarded as one ''risen
from the Dead" and he ''thought one risen
from the dead should be believed" A very SEN
sible remark, which proves that Mr.. Johnson
has not forgotten his knowledge of physiology
or his Scripture lessons. He again begs of the
people to ''stand by the constitution"

Huunbug Auction Sales.

The mock auctions of Chatham street can
not boast of larger element of humbug than
certain auction safes of furniture, books and
pictures in more fashionable thoroughfares.
An auction sale at private dwelling often
affords chance of getting rid not only of the
furniture belonging to the family, but of mass
of rubbish that has been long accumulating
dust in half dozen stores. A bibliophile
who attends the sale by auction of the library
of some noted collector not unfrequently loses
time and patience while the auctioneer secures
the opportunity of smuggling in and selling a
lot of trash from several book stores. A still
more grievous abuse of the very honorable
occupation of an auctioneer is occasionally to
be seen at the sale of the small collection of
some amateur. The collection may comprise,
like most private collections in this country, a
few really valuable works of art, together
with q greater proportion of inferior works.
But transferred to the auction rooms it is mi
and its ten or dozen passable or inferior ones
are multiplied until they number a total of two
or three hundred, including all the unstable
masterpieces" and ''originals" manufactured
to order by some window-shade painter or
foreign copyist, and that have been knocking
about for years in different salesrooms. A big
and flaming catalogue is of course prepared,
and although no connoisseur is taken in by
this old trick not few of those poor shoddy-
ties, or railway contractors, or stock gamblers,
who have walked UP some bright morning and
found themselves millionnaires, are sufficiently
innocent of knowledge and taste to be taken
in egregiously by it, to their own cost, and
what is worse, to the detriment of meritorious
American artists and of true art.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTIoN.- State

The TwitcheIl Murder Appeal.

George s. Twitchell, convicted in Philadel-
phia of the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Hill, and who awaited execution on Thursday
next, the Sth inst, has, according to what is
rapidly becoming routine custom with per-
sons under sentence for capital offences in
this country, through his counsel taken time
by the forelock, and is already before the
United States Supreme Court in Washington
on writ of error-elaborate, full of bubble
and fine drawn in its points as legal inge-
nuity and technicality could make it. The
convict endeavors to array the provisions Of
the constitution of the United States against
the ruling of the Judiciary of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, asserting that the
law of that State is merely an ''experiment'
copied from England, but contrary to the
common law of the United States-a very cool
proposition, certainly, coming from man
convicted by jury of his fellow citizens of
the crime of the murder Of near relation,
and one which any man similarly situated in
Newgate, London, would use against the
law of England itself if ho thought
est chance of escaping from the hands of
Calcraft's successor. Not trusting en-
tirely to law and his appeal, Twitchell has
called in the aid of religion. The Rev. Mr..
Bringhurst publishes statement made by
Twitchell to the effect that on the night of the
death of Mrs. Hill his wife reused him from
sleep and told him that she had skilled her
mother in quarrel" and that they both went
to the room in which she lay dead and to-
gether threw her body out of the window.
Mrs. Twitchell has, it is said, left Philadel-
phia, SO that it is quite probable that, what
between law, religion, divinity and romance,
George s. Twitchel will not be hanged on
Thursday, but merely be made famous through
the 'law's delays" as have been many noto-
rious convicts in New York since the time of
the celebrated Carnell case to that of Real
to-day. Can our criminal law be administered
without 'fear, favor or affections"

COMBINATION vs.. COMBINATION. As the
season approaches in which the building trades
are likely to have increased activity the NUT
terings of the strikers are heard. Strikers OF
course only appeal to their desperate means
of raising wages when their services are
most in demand, and 1t is sign of the times
that the employers in all the building trades
are this year agreeing among themselves on
a combination in advance. Combination on
one side is as good as combination on the
other

S~De..~~>>~"~.
A letter which we published in the HERALD
of yesterday gives very interesting descrip-
ton of the present condition Of the Holy City
and of the preparations already commenced
for the Grand General Council to be held In
December. Our correspondent gives very
interesting numerical statement regarding the
present condition of the episcopal and archi-
episcopal chairs. It shows how truly -four
ishing is the Roman Church. It is proud
boast for that Church, or for any Church, to be
able to make, that it has titularly nine hundred
and eighty-one prelates. OF course there are
many vacancies; but out Of nine hundred
and eighty-one prelates, and others who are
entitled to seats, it is only natural to assume
that very large and very highly respecta-
BILE body of churchmen will on the 9th Of
December gather under the dome of st. Peters.
The eighteen hundredth anniversary of the
martyrdom of st. Peter, celebrated in the sum-
mer of 1867, was magnificent and brilliant
affair, as all the readers of the HERALD re-
member; but the Ecumenical Council promises
us spectacle such as the world can only
see once in many centuries. The spectacle Of
1867 only helps us to form an idea of what
st. Peters, the most gorgeous religious tenn
pie the world has perhaps ever known, will be
in December, 1869. The Holy City will be
the centre of universal attraction. Europe
and America will send not only their prelates,
but their thousands of sight-seekers and plea
sure lovers. Rome will be crowded as
perhaps Rome was never crowded before.
The old city has been the scene of many a
magnificent show, has seen many gorgeous
holidays but it may well be doubted whether
the grandest triumph of the greatest Of the
Caesars at all approached in bulk, splendor
and attractiveness this forthcoming Roman
Council. Unless the assembled prelates COM
NIT themselves to some absurd decisions
which will shock the common sense of man
kind it will be the greatest religious triumph
of the last four centuries. The Catholic Church
ought to gain by it. 1t can only lose by folly
and mismanagement.
