OF course it is always pleasant to know that
the American Eagle is feared and respected by
the bloated minions of foreign despotsm, yet
it is not with unalloyed satisfaction that we
read the following story in late number OF
The Pail Mall Gazette:

And It is very possible that !there are spots
somewhere in our country where little Pig
Iron has been and may be made as cheap as
$23 to 500 Currency per tun; just as few
persons have made 500 per day in god-wash-
ing, though gold in the average costs all it
will fetch, and is made as fast by throwing
earth into hills of corn and potatoes as by
washing it for nuggets, grains, or dust. In the
broad view and the long run, everything
sells for what it costs, whether IL De

make it truly advisable that we should dow
out our own furnaces or half of them, close
our mines, and send more Wheat and Pork
Cotton and Rice, to Europe, in quest OF
cheaper supply. We might obtain it for fewer
dollars but the actual. essential cost would be
far greater, while the supply would be irregu-
lar and precarious, and n great war would find

with sad deficiency of minerals, workshops,
and skillful artisans. We are going the other
road

Our Spanish correspondent gives us a gra-
phic account of the General Election in Spain.
1t was the first election ever held in Spain
upon the basis Of universal suffrage. The num-
Der of electors, which in 1866 was 100000, this
year exceeded 100000. The conduct of the
people was admirable, but the Government ex-
ercised an undue influence and prevented in
many places a free expression of popular opinion
The result Of the election was not yet known
when our correspondent closed his letter. A
monarchical authority estimated the number of
Republicans chosen at so. All the leading men

instruction, whose interesting profession of
faith was given in THE TRIBUNE few days
ago. Espartero was also elected, but, as we
have learned from later cable dispatch. de-

The account which we PRINT in another
column of the trials made yesterday in the
working of the GreeDwich-st. Elevated Railway
line is an agreeable disappointment. If there
be no darker side to the picture, invisible as
yet to the eyes of keen-sighted observers,
there can be no reason why we should not
speedily have a practical and efficient steam
railway, carrying uptown thousands of the
passengers at present crOwdng the street-cars

Henry c. Carey has addressed to the Prcs-

financial and political condition of the country,
which are published in a pamphlet of &C pages.
We hope to refer to these letters more fully
after a thorough perusal of their contents. We
mention them now only to inform those who
already appreciate the writings of this veteran
American economist that this is one of his
most tcrse, clear, and profound trcatises.

too many, will find in this pamphlet much food

We doubt il even the Central Park of New
York and the Prospect Park of Brooklyn will
do so much to increase the population, wealth,
and taxable property Of the two cities as the
new suspension bridge which is to stretch its
beautiful span from the heart of one city to
that Of the other. 1t is difficult, without IN
effort both of calculation and imagination, to

The Provisional Government of Spain has
in many things disappointed the just expecta-
tions of that nation and of ChristendOm. Men
whose mission was to be the Apostles of Re-
publicanism, and who started fairly upon
that shining road, have preferred to
turn back and become the champions
of Reaction. But at last we have one
evidence that tho expulsion of the Bourbon
has not been in vain ;-one illustrious proof
that Prim and SerranO comprehend the logic of
their Instruction. A Cable Dispatch forwarded
yesterday afternoon from Madrid, by the special
correspondent Of THE TRIBUNE, conveys the
authentic intelligence that the Provisional
Government WILL on the assembly OF the Con-
stituent COrtes, submit to it Constitution OF
which the great feature will be the abolition
of Slavery throughout the Spanish dominionS!
Thus do the Nations reap the golden fruits
of our bloody sowing! Whether Cuban revolt
succeed or fail, Cuban slavery is ended. The
Brazilian and Portuguese Governments must
speedily follow the benefcent example; and
within ten years from the emancipation OF
American slaves it may yet come about that
not a single slave shall darken the light OF

The fatal accuracy which improvements in
the breech-lOadng rifles are giving to the fire
of troops in line, has led to the introduction
into European armies of systems Of spade-drill,
for the purpose of teaching soldiers to throw
ND Temporary defenses with the greatest posi-
BILE rapidity. The excessive use of the spade
and pickax by some of the generals in our
war has Taught us rather to undervalue these
implements of campaign; but as musketry fire
becomes more certain the Importance of field
defenses must increase, and the army which
can intrench its guns the soonest will often have
tremendous advantage. We have recently
seen an account of experimental intrenching at
Shoeburyness, after plan practiced at the
French camp of Chalons. parapet three feet
high was thrown up in front and on each flank
of the gun, the ditch in front being on the
outside of the work and in flank on the inside.
The labor occupied about an hour, and the re-
suit was less satisfactory than that obtained
by the English fashion of intrenching the gun
in pit with parapet Of the same hight In
the English way the work was done in half
an hour These trials, however, cannot be re-
garded as conclusive, both having beer made
by Englishmen, who were accustomed TO the
one plan and not to the other.

the Chancellor of the Exchequer, proposes to
remove the duty from tea. When the duty was

now thinks that if it is removed altogether the
