CABINET RUMoRs. Rs.-Rumors are ahoat from
Washington that Mr.. Fish, Secretary of State,
is getting tired of the foreshadowed complca-
tons in our foreign affairs and will shortly
leave; that Mr.. Borie, the amiable old Phila-
delphia merchant, who is at the head of the
Navy Department, is getting befogged with the
discipline Of Admiral Porter and may be
expected soon to retire, and that so, before
many weeks shall have gone by, we shall have
a reconstruction of the Cabinet. Very good.
and as soon and as extensive and ms often as
you like, Mr.. President. The people expect
you to stick to your promise of Cabinet
reconstruction once week, if necessary, until
you have first rate Cabinet and unit.

The spanish Corte. aud the Bourbons.


The Spanish Cortes on Friday came to a
resolution to exclude Queen Isabella and her
heirs forever from the Spanish throne. Our
readers will remember that the popular cry in
the first days Of the revolution was ''Down
with the Bourbons." If the world believed
that Spain was honest and sincere in any one
thing it believed that she was honest and sin
cere in her hatred of the Bourbons and in her
determination to be rid of them finally. In
this, however, the world was at fault 1t was
the gold Of Montpensier that set the revolution
afoat. Montpensier is a Bourbon, and as the
pledges given to him by the revolutionary
leaders must be redeemed, and can only be
redeemed by making him king, we must take
it for granted that this last vote of the Cortes
is intended to pave the way to Montpensier's
elevation to the throne. The Spanish people,
however, do not care much for this man. 1t is
by no means certain that if he were king to-
morrow he could retain his position for many
months. Poor Spain has not yet seen the end
of her revolutionary troubles
The New York herald., 1869-04-26

his troops and left poor Maximian to his fate
That fate has become historical. Explanations
have been made by the French Emperor in
relation to his part in these transactions in the
hour of our national weakness; but we have
yet to learn that Spain has expressed regret,
or offered any explanation, or attempted any
apology for her effort to re-establish monarchi-
cal institutions on American soil in defiance
of the well known American policy-at
moment, too, when we were almost powerless
to resent an insult to our national honor. Now
is the time for retaliation, and our government
will prove itself both foolish and feeble if it do
not remember this little scrap of Spanish history
while settling scores with the present govern
ment of Spain for its outrages upon the Amer
lean flag, in connection with the evolutionary
movement in Cuba

The Long Island Railroad Horror.

We published yesterday additional details Oh
the recent Long Island Railroad horror,
together with description of the unpic-
turesque, bleak and marshy spot where, with
certain dramatic fitness, its shocking scenes
were displayed. The details are ghastly
enough. The keenest sympathy of the public
has been excited in behalf of the mutilated
surviving victims and the families Of the mur-
dered victims of this dreadful disaster. But
the public, whose sympathy cannot afford
relief to the victims of the disaster, is most
practically concerned in its causes, as clearly
revealed by the inquest. According to Mr..
O'Donnell, editor of the Jamaica Standard,
and foreman of the inquest, the jury has
closely examined over mile of the track Of
the Long Island Railroad on both sides of the
place where the accident occurred. Spikes
were pulled out by hand by the jurymen, SO
rotten were some of the ties and stretchers.
1t was discovered that where the broken rail,
which is about twenty feet long, joined the one
next to it, the ''cradle" has an old fracture in
it. "a corner of the rail is missing, and that
fracture is an old one. Thus every car
wheel that has passed over the spot
for some weeks past must have banged
violently against the fractured corner of
the rail. The humping against the old frac-
ture in the rail caused the rail to give some
way further on: The wheel Of the truck on
the day of the accident, striking the corner
fracture, broke off the rail at the crack just
tl,ot g,
and snapped off the rail once MORE" Various
other statements concurring with Mr.. O'Don-
nell's account point to lack of repair in the
condition of the road. The question is inevi-
table, who is responsible for this fatal lack
of repair? 1t is the duty of the superintend-
ent to report to the president and directors Of
every railway company the condition of the
road 1t is the duty Of the president and
directors to provide means for keeping the
road in thoroughly safe condition. If the
superintendent can prove that he has done his
duty in the premises the president and direc-
tors incur the responsibility of having neg
lected theirs. 1t is manifest that in the pre-
sent case there has been culpable neglect some-
where. Wherever it may have been, it merits
swift and severe punishment. A searching
investigation should be instituted at once.
Capital punishment is not too severe for the
authors of such terrible railroad murders aa
American newspapers are often obliged to
chronicle. Let these authors be discovered,
exposed and hung. If superintendent, presi-
dent and directors are proved to be alike
guilty, hang them all. We only want to know
which of them to hang first.

A HANDSOME RECOGNITION OF GENERAL
SIcKLEs. s.-The retirement of General Sickles
from service in the army in consequence of his
wounds received at the battle of Gettysburg
with the full rank of major general, his name
being ''placed upon the list of retired officers
of that class in which the disability results from
long aud faithful service or some injury Incl
dent thereto" As a question of money, clear
savings or Of honorable distinction this recog-
milton of General Sickles is better than the
mission to Spain and yet, as Minister to that
country, this handsome endorsement by the
President will be the best introduction that he
could have to the Spanish government. How
ever, with these special army orders, No. 81,
in his pocket, 10 any event touching this mis-
sion, General Sickles, we are sure, will be con-
tent.

LATEST FROM PRUssIA.-On Friday very
interesting deputation waited on the King of
Prussia. 1t was the desire of the parties who
composed the deputation to obtain the Kings
consent to the establishment of a volunteer
organization which should charge itself with
the care of the wounded in case of war. The
King, we are told, received the deputation
cordially, recognized the undertaking as
humane, thought that there was little imme-
diate chance Of their labors being needed,
but added that if war did break out, it was
his hope that merited success would attend
their efforts. This little piece Of news is not
unsuggestive. When private citizens wait on
their rulers to make such proposals it is
reasonable to conclude that the public mind is
filed with thoughts of war. For ourselves we
wish no stronger proof that war at an early
day between France and Prussia is certainty

That in the fall Of 1868. while the Union
armies were suffering severe reverses, and tho
very existence of our nation was imperiod
the Spanish government despatched feet of
war vessels, the largest 1t ever sent abroad, to
reconquer the Island Of st. Domingo. IL was
at this time that the French Emperor inter
fered in Mexican affairs and planted the unfor-
tunate Maximilian upon throne erected on the
ruins Of the republic of Mexico. As the Union
armies began to meet with successes and the
fall Of Richmond announced the deatb-kncl
Of the rebellion, Napoleon forcsaw our speedy

A REMARKABLE COMMERCIAL FAoT-That
foreigners have regular lines of steamers from
from Portland to Galveston-while the Ameri-
cans have scarcelya single line that commands
commercial patronage. What is the cause Of
this? We answer, that while Congress has
been gabbing about spoils and thieving job
bers have the full run of the national Treasury,
foreign capitalists are quietly usurping our
immense carrying trade and laying our whole
maritime interests out in the cold

Preserving Life Amid Steamboat Peril,

EEescTNtu8 Aue AmlO StcumOOut fcruss
The Baton Rouge Oa.) Adrocdte, comment
ing upon report we gave of the insufilciency
of the arrangements made for preserving life
on board our steamboats, in times Of peril says
the officers of Mississippi steamers are much
more exact in their compliance with the law,
and have without doubt availed themselves of
most of the articles invented to aid passengers
in time of disaster. But, it adds, many of
these articles, such as cork jackets and tin
life preservers, are in many instances worth
less, and seldom are any of the deck boats
available in time Of sudden calamity. The field
for invention of means to enable the helpless
and inexperienced to preserve their lives in
time Of confusion and general dismay is a wide
one, and 1t is strange that the inventive genius
Of the country has not supplied the want. No
doubt some of the life-preserving inventions
are good; but the great difficulty is in the
want of system and order in giving them out
during scenes Of confusion above mentioned.
On every passenger steamboat there should be
regularly drilled gang of men, under proper
officers. whose special duty should be to act
with promptness and GOODNESS in moments of
danger, to superintend the distribution of life
prcservers, the lowering and provisioning of
liieboats, and to take such other measures as
may be calculated to prevent the sacrifice of
human lives. This system, we believe, is
adopted on some of the ocean lines, and IL
could be adopted by steamers on our inland
waters to ADVANTAGE

when there was gobbe involved in which he
was Interested? You never did and you never
will. He is great big wind bubble that
should have been pricked long ago." "Gob-
ble' is good. There are, unfortunately, too
many gobblers in Congress, although a ma
jority belong to a species Of birds that are
more naturally inclined to hiss than to gobble.

School REFORM IL AusrR1A.-School re-
form Is the order of the day in Austria and
South Germany generally. Everywhere the
extreme church party opposes reform. II was
only yesterday we chronicled spirited scene
In the Bavarian Chamber, when Prime Min
lister Hohenlohe, irritated by some attacks of
the ultramontane party, launched out boldly
against the Pope. A cable despatch from
Vienna informs us that a similar scene has
just been witnessed in the Reichsrath. The
debate on the Primary School bill had been
exciting in the extreme, the Polish and Tyro-
lese deputies, devoted and unreasoning church,
men, all keen, even bitter, In their opposition.
AT the close Of the debate these deputies left
In high dudgeon; but the vote was taken and
the bill became law. Thus, In spite Of the
Church. reform goes on.
