The AMERICAN LEGATION IN sPAIS.-Ilop.
John ?. Hale, our minister to Spain, has
written letter, which has been published,
showing up the conduct Of a Mr.. Perry, his
secretary of legation at the Court of Madrid
It appears that Perry has been and Is en-
gagged In Jobs and speculatlons wholly unwar-
rantcd, and that In consequence Of this course
Mr.. Hale guarded with him, and asked the
State Department to remove him. 1t Is clear
that the matter should be investigated, for
the credit of the country and Its foreign rep
TesentRtiyes In other countries.

Hon. Joseph segar, of Virginia, we regret
to learn, has been confined to his room for a
month past by malignant and painful cry
sipelas. Attorney General Evarts yesterday
delivered an argument in the Supreme Court
against the reclamation by importers of GER
tain import duties which they claim were ex-
cessive, and not authorized by law. Hon.
Eugene Casserly, of California, and Thomas
L. Clingman, of North Carolina, are at the
Ebbitt House. General J. J. Reynolds, Uni
ted States army, is at willards'. Hon. j.
Francisco Chares yesterday received dis
patch from Santa Fe, New Mexico, announc-

In Congress. Mr.. Chares is the contestant
for the scat now held by Hon. Charles P.
Clever as Delegate in the Fortie,h Dongress.

CIVIL SERVICE Built is not yet clear
by any means that Mr.. Jenckes' bill will
pass. Though good in some respects, yet at
the same time there are good reasons which
combine to make it impracticable, while, as
an improvement on the present plan, it Is
held by not few who are familiar with
such matters that it will be sure to fail.
The evil, II any, in the present system is
not so much In the method prescribed as in
administration. If the present mode Of ex-
animation, SO far as clerks in the Depart
ments are concerned, was faithfully per-
formed, nothing more would be necessary.
The indisposition not to do 1t In this manner
would be Just as likely to spring up under
any other law as under this, hence nothing
would be gained by the change.

of the South Is set down at the snug little
sum of $3.50, 900 in gold. 30 1t appears
that the election of General Grant has not

Or SATURDAY MORNING an unknown man,
supposed to be named Joseph Quinn, va
grant, was found In a dying condition on the
road leading from Kinderhook TO Ghsnt, N
Y, near the house Of Daniel J. Falls, where
he had stopped the night previous. He ap-
peared to be about 85 years Of age. In the
morning he stated that he was going to New
York, where he had friends. He soon ex'
pired, and a coroner's Jury rendered a YER
diet Of ''Death caused BY consumption"

WHERE WILL he Go Gol-Everybody seems
to think Mr.. Washburne is the right hand
man Of General Grant, and that he will go
somewhere; but wherei Judging from what
we see In our exchanges, this is "the grand
question" before the Washington correspond
ents.
There Is some speculation about this, but
not much real knowledge as to the facts of
the case. The belief Is quite common that
he will accept some position in the new Ad-
ministration. Some will have 1t that he is
to be Secretary of the Treasury. Others as
sert that he is to be Secretary Of the Interior;
and then again, by some Of the more know
ing ones, he Is to be sent to France. At
present nothing is known to the public re-
specting the future position Of Mr.. Wash
burne, and we much doubt whether anybody
has been able to fathom the mystery. If
the anxious parties will wait they will find
out sometime, but conjecture settles nothing.

A SAD but INTERESTING DOMESTIC TRIAL
IN WEsTPIELp, MAss.-A sad case Of matri-
monlal infelicity came up before Justice
Samuel Fowler, of Westheld, on Satur-
day. The parties implicated are Nelson +.
Tyler, Of the extensive numbering firm OF
Fowler, Dibble & Tyler, Of Huntington, and
Miss Cornelia Hastings, his housekeeper.
The complaint Is brought by one Adams,
who has worked for the firm, and who has
had difficulty In settling with Tyler. The
principal witness against Tyler was his No
elected wife, whose home is In Washington,
Berkshire county, and who testified in the
most touching language, not only as TO the
desertlon, but also to the improper Intimacy
existing between her husband and the Hast
ings girl.
A dozen or more of the men In the employ
OF the firm also gave evidence going to cor
roborate that OF the deserted wife. Mr.
Tyler, II seems, has also taken his daughter
to his Huntington home, and thus the mother
is doubly bereft. Mrs. Tyler was originally
from Georgia, possessed In her own right OF
considerable property, and was married to
her present husband about sixteen years
since. Both the daughters were In the court
room, one young lady Of more than ordi-
nary beauty and the other child-and II
was sickening to ones better instincts to see
them In close companionship with the ac-
cused female, while the rightful mother sat
solitary and alone. In consequence OF the
amount Of testimony 1t was found necessary
to put over the case until Thursday.-Sprin4-

THE poUrwRrL AMENDMENT.


It Is Of the utmost importance that the
Senate act on the Boutwell, amendment to the
Constitution without delay. The present
Legislature Of Illinois remains In session only
until the 25th instant, and are, doubtless,
ready to consider and pass favorably upon
the question, II 1t reaches them. At the end
Of the session a heated canvass will take
place in Illinois over proposed changes In
their State constitution. As these are OF
great local importance 1t Is not proper to
complicate them with the question Involved
in the Boutwell, amendment, especially as
that can easily be avoided by prompt sena-
torIal nction here.

General Grant took occasion to express him

A PROFESSIONAL TRAITOR.

JOHN mitchell has turned up again, and this
time in the role of an injured innocent, who
has been damaged in pocket, health, and,
moreover, in reputation, through the illegal
action of one John A. Dix, formerly General
commanding the United States forces in the
Department of the Atlantic. In the summer
of 1865, just after the collapse of the Rebel
lion, Mitchell, not satisfied with the utter ami
hilation of the cause he had espoused, refused
to submit to the authority of the United
States, and undertook to carry on the war on
his own hook. General Dix promptly sup
pressed Mitchell, and clapped him into
Fortress Monroe, where he remained
for four months and fourteen days,
with an excellent opportunity to read
the Bible and repent of his sins. The
absence of General Dix from the country
while he held the position of Minister to
France prevented this irate Celt from taking
vengeance but now that the offending Gene
raj has returned to this country, Mitchell has
appealed to the law, and has brought suit
for damages in the sum of twenty-five thous-
and dollars, which he thinks is about the pc
cuniary equivalent of the injuries done him.
General Dix has promptly entered Dail IN the
amount required, and it now remains to be
seen how much Mitchell will make out of him.
1t certainly seems, however, that United
States officers ought to have some certain pro
lection against suits of this nature brought by
scamps like Mitchell, whose traitorous actions
brought them into difficulty; and whether
General Dix wins or loses in this contest, he
will be subjected to an annoyance and expense

THE BYRON SCANDAL.

The public had to q great extent lost its in
terest in the scandalous quarrel between Lord
Byron and his wife, and beyond an indefinite
desire on the part of the admirers of Byron's
poetry to know all about the mysterious and
much perplexed episode of his erratic
career, there was very little thought be
slowed upon the subject. The Countess
Gulcciolis book renewed the scandal and laid
the blame of the separation on Lord Byron,
accepting implicitly Lady Byron's version Of
the affair. This work has elected statement
OF Lady Byron's side of the question, from
the pen of Mrs. Harriet Beechcr stowe.
which we publish on our sixth page TO-
day. This is the first time that Lady Byron
has had hearing, and the narrative ia on
that account, if no other, Of grent inlorsst
During her lifetime she maintained stndiona
silence on the subject of tho quarrel with her
husband, and bore without my complaining,
the odium which the verdict Of society nt
tached to her. Throughout n long life She
quietly and unostentatiously lnbored in works
of charity, and won cominendntiop even from
those who imagined that bsr unoonpsnialify.
austerity, coldness, and insiuoerity we're tho
causes of the separation.
She felt, however, that she wns untitled TO
a vindication, and that the largest charity to-
wards the real guilty parties did not demand
that she should be silent after they had passed
away from earth. During Mrs. Stoves visit
to England, shortly after the publication of
''Uncle Toms Cabin, Lady Byron sent for
her and entrusted her with the secret in her
possession, leaving it to her discretion to give
it to the world at the proper time. The
frightful nature of the secret thus confded
to her appalled, Mrs Stowe, and even after
Lady Byron's death she hesitated to give it to
the world, and was only induced to do so by
the reiteration of the old scandals in the
Countess Guiccioli's book, and by deep con-
viction that Lady Byron's memory demanded
this vindication.
The story is elaborate but still indefinite
but enough is said to bring out the whole
truth ere long, if there is any truth in Lady
Byron's statement. We would fain believe
that this is not the case. The charge brought
against Lord Byron is so Infamous that it is
impossible not to suspect that it might have
been merely the result of Lady Byrons NOR
bid imaginings-a crude suspicion developed
into positive conviction by long years of
bitterness and mental suffering. Be this as
it may, there is a probability that all the
facts of the case will now be brought to light,
and the memory of Byron cleared from the
charges brought against him, or else con-
demned to perpetual infamy. Mrs. Stowe S
narrative will be read everywhere; but it will
excite more comment in England than in this
country, and it will be interesting to note the
impression that it will make on society there
In the meantime, we commend it to the atten-
ton of our readers as vividly interesting
contribution to the history of man who,
whatever his sins may have been, was one of
the greatest poets of his age.

OUT IN THE COLD.

The Labor Convention appears to be playing
little game of thimble-rig with Miss Susan
B. Anthony-Now you see her, and now you
don't see her. On Monday last they refused
to admit her to their councils, on Tuesday
they permitted her to take a seat, yesterday
they turned her out again, and there is now a
fine chance for the betting fraternity to make
money on the question as to whether she will
be in or out of the convention to-day. In the
meantime the object of all the difficulty is
keeping herself before the public. She has
succeeded in creating a disturbance, and in
having herself talked about, all of which is
better even than being member of the con-
vention. 1t is to be presumed that Miss An
thony is happy, and if she can only keep the
conventioners discussing her merits up to the
day of adjournment, it might add several
hundred new subscribers to the list of the
ReoOlutiOR.
