KING NAPOLEON.

There is q standing menace in the Spanish
situation that our worst fears may be at any
moment realized The Omens are accommodating.
| 1t is not that the absconding Don Carlos is
now to be feared, for the Prince of AstuTias
| has succeeded him as the bugbear Of the Re-
| gency; it is not because Serrano and Prim are
less equal to the situation than any other Span
| iards would be-that we have now serious fears
for the perpetuity Of the Regency. We learn
nothing from what is told us Of the local
distractions of Spain, owing to Carlists, Isabel
lists churchmen and bandits that has half so
much of the nature of a revelation as the re-
cent letter, or We might say manifesto, of the
Captain General of Madrid. This officer knocks
with stormy emphasis at the door Of the
Regency, and with blows loud enough
to waken any ministry. He charges
that after ten months since the revO-
luton began, anarchy and immortality are
greater than ever, and he demands, in virtue
of the constitutional proclamation Of monarchy
the immediate choice Of king Who is the
Captain g eneTal's king, and who is Gen.
Prim's king, who is Admiral Topete's king, and
who is Gen. Lersundi's king, would be ques-
tons quite to the point. Spain is distracted to
monarchy, and her gypsy blood is not slow to
manifest its riOtous fire. A political problem
to Spain means discord and prOnunciamentos,
and when q king is actually called for, we
may be sure that rebellion is not too far dis
tant to enforce the demand.
A king is wanted. One good enough to be
applied to the healing of the old wound
caused by the attempt to tear out the old woe
of Bourbon by the roots, and still not too
good for the daily needs Of a class Of men
like Prim and Rvero, and withal not too far
off for a tractable class of Republicans, would
be preferred. Montpensier, Ferdinand, Henri,
Alfonso, Genoa, Aosta, are the old stock of
candidates-nOne of them of so lively an aspi-
lation as to take the country by storm. But
Gen. Prim is not believed to have been silent
so long upon the vexed question Of monarchy
without an object very well defined to his own
view 1t is long since he thought well of Fer
dinand, and he has never had good opinion of
Montpensier. These were the two most plausi-
bic candidates for the crown, but neither of
them was acceptable to the king-maker.
What next9 The latest rumor is startling.
1t is said that Gen. Prim and Senior Olozaga,
once the astute Premier of Isabella, and MIN
lister at the Court of France, have agreed to
offer the throne to Prince Napoleon. Every
one knows that the Prince is an extraordinary
man. He has written essays to show that Ma
poleOn BOnaparte intended that France should
become demOcratic lie made a great speech
for reform; he counseled against the Mexican
expedition, and was the valued adviser of Ca
your; lie foresaw the last crisis Of Europe,
and predicted the present situation in
France. With the sensuous tastes and
habits of prince, he has the
ideas of a democrat and the watcIful-
ness Of events Which characterize the Napo-

CUURCU AND SITE.

We hone there is truth in late report from
Rome that, in the fitting up of the great nail
wherein their Gcumenical Council is to be
held by the Prelates of the Roman Catholic
Church, no seats have been assigned to the
ambassadors of the Catholic Powers, 1t IS not
often our privilege to admire the doings OF the
Papacy; but, if it has been decided to rem
" der unto Cesar the things that are Caesars"
Or rather to let Caesar take care OF himself
that is q righteous and wholesome decision,
whereof the wisdom will soon be apparent.
The more cultivated, intelligent classes
throughout the civilized world are sub
stantially united in demanding that the Church
and the State shall each be independent OF
the other each mnding its own business ana
leaving the other to do the same Let the
Church admonish, discipline, excOmmuncate'
as it shall see fit; let the State do its best to
dispense justice and repress wrong doing; let
neither intermeddle with the peculiar province
of the other. 1t will give lis great pleasure to
be assured that Rome cOncurs in this appor-
tionment and segregation of duties.
And why should she mott "The world is
not her friend, nor the worlds law" She is
not to-day in hearty accord with any of the
additionally great Catholic Powers-France,
Austria, Spain; Italy-we mean 1.-THE State-is
Mt odds with her; even little Bavaria lifts up
the heel against her; feeble but "Most Faith
"ful" Portugal is her only hearty supporter.
There are probably 100000 Catholics in
Europe, yet there is no longer single cor
daily, unreservedly Catholic State OF any
weight in the balance of power If the Papacy
is ever to cut loose from political alliances, now
! is clearly her time.
| Russia has refused her prclates liberty to at
| tend the Council This seems to us an act OF
tyranny wholly without excuse. The CzaI
has few Millions of Catholic subjects; they
will only be alienaed from him and drawn
more closely to Rome by this arbitrary high
handed exercise of power. Hasten the happy
day when not Rome only, but every church
every hierarchy, shall perceive and affirm the
expcdicncy of n Divorce Of Church and State

missoners of Charities and Correction have been
honorably distinguished for their moderation IN
making estimates for their annual expenditures;

for their use they have actually SaUed during
the last four years half million OF dollars !
This is a phenomenon in municipal admins

Whipping children is bad enough discipline,
but starving them is worse. In the San Francisco
Industrial School, it is stated, the inmates, by
way of persuasion. are sometimes compelled to
90 without food for three days together. To
punish n child by denying it necessary food is
about as reasonable as it would be to deprive
it of sleep, or, if that were possible to limit it
to a reduced ration of atmospheric air. Such
prolonged abstinence, imposed upon growing
child, if not Immediately fatal in its effects,
might result in serious physical arrangement.
To he sure, this kind of penalty is even more
economical than foggng, as it saves provis-
ions and involves no expenditure for cowhdes
and rods; but on the other hand, the increased
cost of cofns may prove the falsity Of the
economy after all.

The Mississippi steamboat outrage viii he
described. we presume, as only riot" A
gang of rufiians ranged through the boat, muir
dering all the negroes they could find, cutting
their Threats, and throwing them into the river.
The victims had given no pTovOcation what
ever, except by being damned niggers," which
we SUPPOSE they could not very well help. If
the decl-han on the steamer Dubuque had
been white men, there is not the least proba-
bility that any riot would have taken place or
ANYBODY have been killed. The lawless fe-
rocity of Slavery still fingers IN the South
The spirit which used to wreak itself in fiog-
cling and manning property must relieve itself
now in murder. SO for the inot1ensiye freed
men life is a perpetual peril. In Texas, for in
stance. and wherever there is wild and brutal
population like these Mississippi raftsmen,
death starcs them in the face at every step.
The Tweed party the other night at Tam
many Hall made q brave show Of defending
American citizens of whatever country or class
in the free enjoyment of all their civil and
political rights. Well, here are some hundreds
of thousands of native-born Americans who
are denied even the simple right TO Hrej
what has Tammany Hall done for them9 Of
course, it is right to sympathize with the i'm
prisoned patriots in Ireland and Cuba; but
when Mr.. Tweed's eagle flaps his wings again
and screams defiance to the minions of mon
archy, let him look at the South. II III be-
comes the party under whose banner such
despOtism hourishes to vaunt itself as the
especial champion of the oppressed.

Every execution throws some new light upon
the question of Capital Punishment, and adds
something to the demonstration of its folly
and wickedness. Thus, it is stated that John
Griffin, hung at Hamilton Ohio on the Goth

imity-the Sheriff who read the dcath-warant
being much more deeply agitated than the

Exceedingly noteworthy but not in all re,
snects astonishing, is the statement forwarded
by our correspondent in London respecting the
British colonies in the Pacific. The same phase
of political experience through which Canada
is passing applies also to them. A meeting OF
leading colonial representatives held in London
uttered a profound dissent from the re-
lations at present maintained between
the colonies and the Mother Country.
But far more serious was the sense OF
the meeting, that in the event of the impractl-
cabty of are form in these relations, the colonies
shoald leave British allegiance and seek the
Drotection of the United States. These opinions
come nearer to the ear of England than almost
anything else which has been said with view
to secession from the British empire, They
would constitute, we dare say, another guaran-
tee for the just treatment of our claims, IN
case such guarantee were needed.

Our letters and kilograms from Washington
and Havana, as also cOncurring testimony
from the English press and private sentiment
in Madrid, have all pointed to the settlement
of the Cuban question by the purchase of the
island. Now Tie London Times mentions a
rumOr that the preliminaries of an agreement
between the United States and Spain have been
arranged, and, we presume, with some refer
ence to the proposition of Cuban Committee
to buy the island with the Endorsement of the
United States. The statement of Tie Times
is substantially the same as that made in our
correspondence few days ago.

The lecture of Prof. Goodwin Smith, at
Cleveland. amplifes the position taken by him
in his recent letter to the English press. His
review of the Alabama's career serves to show
that, if Great Britain cannot make her legal
case to our minds strong one, she can make
1T, at all events, a long one, and in that
senss formidable. Mr.. Smith is not sure that
the English position is as untenable as we sup
pose it to be yet, waving the legal aspect of
the case, he announces his advances to moral
ground. The Alabama, be thinks, ought not

RITES.

THAT TO DO WITH GOVERNMENI SECU-
RITES
The efforts of the Secretary of the Treasury
TO reduce the Debt meet tho general approval
of the country. 1t seems to us that our capl-
talists and bankers could second Mr.. Bout
well, and at the same time do wise thing Tor
themselves and our industrial interests. Gov
eminent bonds rule at high figure now, be-
cause among other reasons, the men VINO
control money desire to make Dlr. BoutWell
nav as largely as possible Instead OF being
one of the best securities for investment at
their present price, there are others that seem
nearly or quite as good and far more profit
able. A $50 bond for $4,000 at 100 would cost
$4,000 The interest on this in currency would
be s4O5, or O. per cent in currency. As the
bonds increase in value of course this rate of
interest decreases. Now, with the necessity
for money to develop internal improvements
and industries, it seems to us the part OF WIS
dom for those who hold governments to take
advantage of this increase in their current
value to make other investments of more
profitable character. We have in our advertis-
ing columns several good seven per cent gold
bearing loans which seem nearly as
secure MS the governments. There is hardly a
better security than a first mortgage upon n
well located, well managed railway. Let us
take for example the case Of the Kansas Pa
cifc Railway. Here is loan running thirty
years, and paying seven per cent in gold.
$1,000 bond will cost, at the selling rate, S576O.
! With gold at 1885, the interest would be S56S in
currcncy-a fraction less than ten per cent? a
difference of more than three per cent In favor
of the road. The whole thing might be sum-
