liz THE CAPTAIN GENERAL OF MADRID is a
man not to be suspected of purpose to favor
the foes Of the Spanish revolution, his grave in
dictment of the character and results of that
movement must have great effect. No two
opinions could be held as to the right and OBJ
legation Of the Spanish people to purge their
country Of the abuses Of Isabellas reign; and
now we are told by one who must surely know
that the abuses Of the revolution are greater
and worse than were the abuses of the Bourbon
dynasty Who, then, shall purge the country
of the revolution?

GRANTS Present Of a Farm.

The newspapers for the past few days have
been illustrating the phrase which Shakespeare
has made immortal by the title Of bis play
''Much Ado About Nothing" They have been
ringing tho changes upon the supposed gift of
farm In New Jersey which Is said to have been
presented TO President Grant ut Long Branch on
Monday, upon the occasion Of very pleasant lit
Ito private excursion to the village of Brlcksburg,
an ofishoot Of our general progress settle
ment, in fact, of not quite three years growth, in
thriving agricultural and IRON bearing region.
Well, we have no doubt that the excursion was
very agreeable. Indeed, we have the assur-
ance Of our correspondents that everything
went ''merry as a marriage BELL" that the
company was Of very social character and
the villagers were happy; but it unfortunately
happens for the veraoity of the papers which
have invested tho President with o valuable
fifty acre lot near Brlcksburg that he has ac-
copied no such present from the owners of the
land, but on the contrary, we know from the
best authority that be firmly and kindly de-
clined to become the proprietor Of New
Jersey farm under the circumstances. SO much
for the goOd-natured or malicious congratula-
tons Gas the case may boz of the newspapers
who have circulated this rumor The Presi-
dent informed the public in his brief farewell
speech at Long Branch that he had become the
purchaser Of pretty cottage within view Of
the ocean, and that when his leisure can be en-
joyed cam dignitate-that is to say, when tho

vices at Washington, he-wlll become Long
Brancher-a genuine salt--during the future
summer solstices-a fact which will no doubt
be gratefully appreciated by the residents and
visitors in that locality. In other words, the
President has bought his own seaside home,
including his own vine and fgtree, which he
intends to pay for with his own money

The Associated Press agents have been ln-
dustriously employed lately in correcting the
statement OF one Of the opera 6os46e journals in
this city to the effect that Governor Hoffman
had promised to pardon Edward B. Ketchum
II his friends would abandon the proceedings
for a habeas corpus, recently pending before
Judge Barnard. The statement is pronounced
Without the slightest foundation In fact. This
is fair sample Of opera 6ou6s journalism in
New York. Notwithstanding the extravagant
language aud buaoonery with which they sur
round simple fact so as to make that fact
almost indiscernible, they have also the habit.
as has been seen In the case of the unfortunate
Ketchum, Of representing apocryphal intellI-
gence as matters Of fact and creating corres-
ponding amount Of mischief and unhappiness
among it's class of readers. Il was not long
since these opsra boufe papers took the
HERALD to task for announcing that the Span
ish government were building thirty gunboats
In this CITY and In thriving shipbuilding
port in Connecticut for operations against the
Cuban revoiutionists. The HERALD's report
was pronounced untrue, probably because
the journals in question had An inte-
rest in woodworking our government In
regard to the secret maneuvrings of the
Spaniards in neutral nation In matter af-
footing belllgerent rights. The HERALD dis
played the Inconsistency of the American gov
eminent in seizing vessels and imprlsoning
men for alleged attractions of the neutrality
laws when 1t apparently permitted such in
fractions to go unnoticed and unpublished when
they were committed by the foes Of republican
liberty on this Continent. What IL the result2
The public have already seen the fact an
n0unced that the administration of President
Grant has been aroused to some sense of in
dignation at the course of the Spanish govern
ment In attempting to make the United States
an arsenal and navy depot for operations
against peoples struggle, and has seized a
number of the guuboats before mentioned,
some nearly completed and others on the
stocks. II is thus the public receive through
the columns of the HERALD intelligence upon
which they can rely for its accuracy, while
that furnished through the medium of the
opera b0Mte press is only to be taken as the
fabulous representations of burlesque journals,
unrelieved by any sound, reliable OR sub
stautial surroundings.

had some happy Inspirations, and now comes
one on the very unlikely subject Of pavement.
In Hoboken they have recently had laid down

as the asphaitum pavement--that IL, the ma
terial is put down In liquid state and dries
to o proper degree Of resistance. Hitherto
most attempts with this sort Of pavement here

Spain refuses to part with Cuba on any
terms. That Is the Spanish style, and OF
course this Is the only answer that could rea-

other, and it is for us to show Spain that she
cannot Garry things In this neighborhood In
that Quixotic temper that she Is best pleased
to indulge. The conduct Of our government
10 its relations with that Power, In view Of the
barbarities Its agents have practised almost In
our presence, has gone TO the verge Of permits
sibie forbearance. No doubt IL was wise
enough on the part Of the government to try
that plan, in the hope that Spain would see the
impossibility Of accomplishing anything in
Cuba with q nation utterly demoralized at
home. But we have waited patiently, and we
now know that Spain will see nothing, but will
Insist on keeping up In our neighborhood q
hopeless war In which our very word could
turn the balance against her. We must now
adopt toward her those very measures which
European Powers adopted toward us In our
recent war, without giving us even the grace
OF fair chance 10 try what we could do. No
doubt the seizure of the Spanish war vessels
constructing here Is the initiation Of
this policy, and our first reply to SPANS
insensate determination to pursue her present
futile endeavors 10 crush Cuba. This first act
Is good one, and opens our case boldly and
clearly, inasmuch as its direct consequence il
that Spain cannot wage war this side the
Atlantic without our consent. Three thousand
miles is too far to send war ships and too far

years ago. There must be q base Of opera

The Radical Conspiracy In Tennessee.

We published yesterday telegram from
Louisville, Kentucky, purporting to make some
startling disclosures about a conspiracy of the
radicals in Tennessee to defeat the expression
of the popular will should the election to-
day 60 against them. It Is said that Mr..
Stokes will make the revolutionary movement
Of assembling legislature of his own faction
at Nashville and establish separate State
government, and that by the aid of the militia
and federal authorities. This seems almost
Incredible; and yet, looking at the bitterness
and unscrupulous conduct of these Tennessee
politicians and the revolutionary times we live
in, such desperate movement is not very i'm
probable. But should it be 80 we cannot be-
lieve the President will countenance the
conspiracy. Whatever defects General Grant
may have, his whole public life has been dis
tinguished by strict adherence to law and
respect for the expression of the popular will
at the polls. Should the radical members of
his Cabinet even be INSCRIPTIONS enough to
favor such revolutionary action he would, we
think, set his face resolutely against it. Of
course 1t would be bitter pill for the admin
istratlon should the opposition succeed In
Tennessee, and particularly II the elections
should result in returning ex-President John
son to the United States Senate; but that nor
anything else would justify revolution or the
interference Of the federal government In the
local political affairs Of q State. The rumored
desperate expedent Of the radicals to bring
about conflict, and thereby to call for the in
terposition Of the administration aud Congress,
cannot and, we believe, will not, be tolerated
by General Grant However, the election
takes place to-day, and we shall soon know
both the result of that and the truth or false
hood of this startling report,

WHAT Is THE DIFFERENCE ?-Mr. Henry
Wilson Indignantly claims that the United
States Senate is very honest body, because
''to take money for passing or defeating
measures Is q rare thing" If 1t occur at oil,
It Is bad enough, but the charge Of the coun-
try lie that Senators sell their votes, not that
they sell them for money. When Walpole said
that every man had bis price he did not mean
that prices only differed in the scale Of money
value. Senators sell vote for place, or for
another vote, and that other vote IL TO them
the equivalent of money. How does this NOR
ally differ from selling vote for money!

BOARDS OF EDUCATION, It would seem, ought
to be made up with astonishing discrimination
on the part of the people or whoever may have
the making of them. If there Is bookseller in
the number there Is sure to be an unusual amount
Of jobbery In the purchase of sohoolbooks, and
if there is a stationer 1t Is the same with sta
tionery; while il there is builder, painter,
GOAL dealer or stovemaker, each claims the
monopoly Of furnishing the schools with what
he deals in at twice the price another would
demand. Brooklyn Is getting this experience
and New York has never been without It.

This age will leave dts mark upon history,
Its land and submarine telegraphs. and Its ship
canals than by all its political revolutions that
attract at the time so great an amount of atten-
ton. These last are often succeeded by others
undolng the work completed, but 1t Is different
with the achievements Of science we have spoken
or for they never retrograde. Itwoald indeed
be hard to overestimate the effects of the Suez
Canal on commerce, and through commerce on
history; and the projected canal du Midi con-
Meeting Marselles aud Bordeaux will operate In
the same direction. Yesterdays telegram an
nounced that the preliminary surveys Of the
Schleswig- Hostein Canal were completed, and
that the Prusslan government was expected to
undertake the work. A glance at the map
will show how much time and distance will BIO
saved by suoh canal to all vessels sailing be-
tween Hamburg and the Baltic, instead Of
taking the present dangerous and circuitous
route by the Cattegat and Sound. The natu-
raj consequence will be a stimulus given to
commerce, drawing more effectually the sur
plus produce Of the regions bordering on the
Baltic and the Gulf Of Bothnia. Politically,
however, Its Importance to Prussia will be still
more considerable The Prussian Baltic feet
will thus find passage exclusively its own TO
the North Sea and the Mediterranean, thereby
making the power of Prussia felt by sea no
less than by land. How powerful she is by
land we already know, and as proof of the
Importance to which her navy has risen may
be mentioned the fact that Russia will no
longer suffer her feet In the Baltic to maneuvre
In company with that Of Prussia as such
demonstration exhibits too plainly her own
comparative weakness. Within the last few
years Prussia has indeed made the most extra
ordinary efforts to raise feet second to that
OF no other European Power, and her success
in this has been proportionate to that good
fortune that attends all her undertakings. This
Schleswig- Holstsin Canal is another develop
ment Of that progressive spirit that now ami
mates united Germany, and wo trust the canal
will prove a successful undertaking. Suoh
works as these that stimulate commerce and
shorten, if they do not annihiate space are
always, sooner or later, q benefit 10 mankind.
