his feelings, as it has been his boast that
in all squabbles among stock and gold
gamblers he would preserve the most
perfect cquanimity. The last grand Ba-
b,l confused him, however, and he was
unable to withstand the appeals and de-
mands that were made upon him to sell.
1t has been very generally expected that
to-day the secretary would renew his
policy of selling gold and buying bonds
from next month. and so it is. The last
order made to-day to Assistant Treasu-
rer Butterfeld is to sell gold to the
amount ofs1 900, 900 every Tuesday and
Friday, until November, and purchase
bonds every Wednesday until the sane
period in addition to the usual regula-
tons for the sinking fund, which de-
pend upon the action of congress. This.
the secretary thinks, will have the effect
of preventing the bulls and bears from
creating any new panic, such as over
turned the financial markets in New
York, f,r the present.
General Spinner, United States treas
urer, is very angry because of the way
in which the New York brokers man
aged to upset the gold market, and goes
in for running everybody who attempts
to work against the government credit.
The Chicago 1ribune, in speaking of
the radical officeholders Of that city, says:
We allie &c that our city government
Is corr ipt. We affrn
that it is not only corrupt in many in
portant parts, but that it is becoming
more 50 every year. And the most
alarming feature of the case il that, a.
time rolls on. the corruptionists become
stronger and the people weaker. The
holding class-the politicians, WHO
were, a short time ago, barely able to
keep out oft the Poor House, but are
now driving fast horses and wearing dia-
niond pins-spend most of their time in
devising ways and means to deprive the
people of any intelligent control or jul
ri>diction over public affairs : In
Chicago they have succeeded tolcrably
well up to the present time; but the day
| of their discontinue is near at hand
They have in their service some of the
most expert ballot box suffers in the
United States; but the talents of these
gentlemen will not save them.
Let no man be fooled by the pretence
that it is necessary to re-clect the Ring
in order to abolish slavery and put
down the rebellion. One war at a

NEW YORK. Sept. %.
\ special cable dispatch dated London
Sept %, says that advices from Spain
are interesting. Information coming
from the most reliable sources in Mad
rid has been received in refutation Of
the rumors which have been circulated
to the effect that the United States gov
ernment had communicated with Minis
ter Sickles, directing him to withdraw
his note on the subject of Cuba, it's sale
or transfer, if the terms of the missive
were not acceptable to the Spaniards.
What Mr.. Sickles did convey to Serrano
and to the other ministers of Spain. re

the part of the American people, be-

LONDON, Sept. 26.
The news reports to-day are an excl
ting, even alarming character. Popular
dissatisfaction and disloyalty to the ex-
isting government prevails very general
ly throughout Spain, and both have
again been expressed in an armed |
revolution There was an insurrection-
airy demonstration made by the volunteer
troops at Barcelona, last saturday night
1t was occaSioned by the receipt of the |
government order commanding the vol |
unteers to disarm, and an attempt on
the part fthe local authorities to enforce |
it. The fact that the volunteers of |
Tarragona, who refused to disarm pre-
vi"usly, were suffering Imprisonment for
the offence, was made cause for an ad- |
ditional excitement In short time |
five barbados, one built by the public |
cartmen. were thrown up. The cart
mems baricade was assaulted by the |
regular troops and carried by bayonct
charge after very desperate resistance
on the part of its defenders, and heavy |
loss of life. During the engagement
the insurgents had twenty-four men
killed, and large number wounded.
and seventeen of their most active
brethren made prisoners. The troop,
had two commissioned officers killed
and several soldiers wounded. Order
was subsequently, restored.
