MoNTPENsIER REMAINS ON GUARD. Some
few days ago 1t was announced that Montpen-
sier was about to leave Spain for England. A
despatch which we print this morning contra
diets said report and states that the Duke
means to spend the summer with his family at
his seat near Seville Perhaps after all he is
wise to remain on guard, although we cannot
see that he has any great chance to win the
Spanish Crown

JUST WHAT WAS WANrED-The new rules
adopted by the Board of Police Commissioners,
under which persons known to be Of good
character arrested for trivial offences, may,
on tile individuals own recognizance in the
sum of one hundred dollars, be spared the
too-often unjust and prejudcial incarceration
Of night in the cells with hardened vii
lains and criminals. We think that the
discrimination thus authorized between
respectable people and incurable OUT
laws may be safely trusted to the sound judg-
ment Of Superintendent Jourdan, 1t will add
considerably to his labors, but we are sure he
will be found equal to this important duty.

Jerome Park WO.UnY.

The American Jockey Club, if favored By
good weather, of which there is every sign
as these lines so to press, will surpass all the
achievements that have heretofore distin-
guished it ere this evenings sun goes down.
Reinvigorated by their rest since Thursday
last and nobly inspired by the news that comes
by mail of the fine equestrian sport at the
French Chantilly, the club will put their best
feet foremost to-day.
There will be at least four great races, to
wit: A hurdle race, by leading favortes; the
Consolation premium race, of one and three
fourths Of mile; the Hunters Plate, two mile
race, all The riders members of the Jockey Club,
and the Jockey Club Handicap, two mile race.
The first class stars Oysterman, Bohannon,
Helmbold, Sanford, Edenton, Mamie Douglas,
&C., &C., are entered and will be dashingly run.
Pool selling was very brisk last night,
and all the jovial sporting men were
in high spirits, looking forward to
q good track, favorng skies, bril-.
liant assemblage and Olympan racing.
The city is in full summer mood, and throngs
of strangers are here. The fame of Jerome
Park and its surroundings has become
national. The narrative of last weeks
prowess has gone all over the Union, and, by
letter and telegraph, the keenest interest is
manifested in to-day's good work. The ladies
are on the tiptoe of expectation, and the June
fashions have attained their highest perfection.
The rural scene is now more enchanting,
after the long, enriching rains, than ever.
Wide dush the iells: the softening air IL balm;
Ecd0 the mountains round; The lore L smiles,
And every sense and every heart is 10y.

"WHo SHALL RULE THE STATE, white men
or niggers?" This awful question is now un-
dergong fearful discussion by the democratic
journals OF Delaware. The State on the white
vote gives thousand democratic majority,
more or less but the fifteenth amendment
brings in about five thousand Africans to the
polls, and there's the rub Moreover, if ''those
niggers won't vote the democratic ticket, be-
cause the democrats ''don't want nigger votes
no how" it is possible that this African balance
Of power may upset the State of Delaware
and leave the democracy thereof high and dry.
This is the best, under Senator Saulsbury's
programme, "the white mems party" that we
can do for Delaware

SPECIAL LETTERS FROM EUROPE. Oar
special European correspondence, published
to-day, is dated to the 5th of June. Our
writer's chronicle the steady advance of demo-
cracy in Great Britain and Spain, noting the
complete expression of the cause under the
constitution in the one country and the diff
cuties which it still labors under in the other.
From North Germany we have interesting
reports of the American colony in Berlin and
of brilliant American marriages. Our Berlin
letter narrates also sad story Of the suicide
of an American youth, who appears to have
committed self-destruction for the reason that
he found he had not the talent to become pro-
ficient as musician. Ireland stands forth in
pleasing and rather hopeful aspect in one
of our special letters.

- 80 ~-.-.itrto for tba Sanata Hill
Mr.. Garlield's su.s...... ''f VIC 'ena'o p'i'
to provide national currency of coin and
notes, and 10 equalize the distribution of cir
culating notes, was taken up in the House and
generally discussed yesterday. The substi-
tute provides for an additional issue of ninety
five millions of national bank notes and a pro-
portonate withdrawal of three per cent bonds
and legal tenders. A number Of amendments
looking to new issue Of greenbacks instead of
national bank notes were offered, and Mr.. Nor
gan, an Ohio democrat, proposed one repeal
ing a laws allowing the issue of national bank
notes but they were all rejected by large ma
jorities. The substitute was finally allowed to
go over until to-day, owing to the Cuban busi-
ness but enough was done to show that the
fight over the bill is the final one between the
national banks and the greenback currency.
The expansion of the currency has frequently
been discountenanced heretofore by the House,
and it may possibly be that the present bill is
a mere display Of buncombe on the part of
electioneering members from the West, where
the equal distribution of the currency is
stoutly demanded. But the tendency Of the
currency is and always will be towards the
great commercial centre, and the extra issue
proposed by this bill wilt eventually
lad its way eastward and leave the Western
sections as bare as ever. The final result will
therefore be that the national bank currency
will be increased and will not be distributed
equally, the main point desired by the
Western sections being thus lost and the ex-
pansion of the currency, which both sections
deprecate per Sc, being perpetuated. 1t is
evident from the disposition Of the House
yesterday that the national bank lobby has
made an impression by incessant h.mmering,
and that the incubus with which the country
has saddled itself is hard and despotic rider.

The BEETHOVEN FEsTIvAL.-Ths mon
ster musical treat has, so far, turned
out a great success. In the vast volume
OF music required to fill the ambitions pro-
gramme everything may not be in all per-
fection, but the general effect is certainly
superb. In an affair SO hastily gotten up con-
noisseurs and delicate critics may find some
thing to complain of, but that the performance
is popular and gives great pleasure to the
masses of the people there can be no doubt
Therefore we call it decided success. 1t
affords grand attraction for our country
cousins, especially as there is performance
by day as well as by night. Great affairs of
this kind leave good deal of benefit behind
them, apart from the large amount of money
which they bring into the city. There are
expansive ideas about them, pleasant social
intercourse springs from them, and art gathers
friends, admirers and students out Of them.
Monster musical festivals, therefore, are not
all noise nor all sensation There is great
store Of good at the bottom Of them. We are
glad that this commemoration of Beethoven
has AL the elements Of success in it.
