win there be War in Europe,

Tho extraordinary agitation caused in
Europe by the mere nomination Of Prince
EEorolD Of Hohcnzollcrn MS King of Spain,
shows how prccarious arc the relations be-
tween the great continental powers; and it
shows also Low impracticable il is for the
Spaniarls to obtain a monarch Of princcly
lineage from any part Of Europe But the
great question is whether war will grow out
of this nomination
Though II l. reported that Prince LEoroID
las agreed to the offer of the crown made 10
him by the Spanish Regency, this acceptance
ls provisional merely. Neither PbM nor
SERRASo nor all of their colleagues cnn
make King. That can only be done by the
Cortes That body has adjourned until the
31st of October and if the election of King
is to lie earlier brought up, special meeting
will have TO be summoned. Such meeting,
II is now reported, will take place on the
10th of July, and it would be exceedingly
rash to predict that the election of LEOPOLD
will be the result.
OF all the candidates for the Spanish
throne who have hitherto been proposed, no
one has been able to command majority
even Of the members Of the Cortes present at
any session and now that an absolute
majority of the whole number is required, Il
becomes well nigh impossible to choose
monarch at all. Whatever be the influence
of PRIM and his colleagues it would be very
surprising If the new candidate should fare
any better than his predecessors.
This being the condition Of the question,
the agitation in Europe, the menace of war,
the intrigues and the rumors which this
matter has brought into notice, are prema-
ture, to say the least. 1fwar is to follow the
election of Prussian Prince to the throne
Of Spain, it seems safc to infer Ias. e,ee
no Pruss,an Prince is elected there will W
no war. The disturbance of the public mind,
however adds new proof of the we'll
known existence Of o profound feeling of hos
tility between France and Prussia. When
ever there is any real occasion for the out
break Of a new quarrel between these two
powers, there is no doubt that it will DO
heartily embraced, and the war will become
comprehensive before it is ended but that
very fact certainly renders the beginning of
It the more improbable.
II is worthy of notice that the nomination
OF Prince LEOPOLD refutes entirely the com.
mon notion that the chief ruler south of the
Pyrenees is in the interest of NAPOLEON 1t
shows rather that he still remains faithful to
BISMARCK, and has not forgotten the debt
he ewes that great statesman for assistance
in promoting tho revolution which drove
ISABELLA from the throne and put PRIM at
the head Of Spain.

The Conviction OF Thomas sheridan.

Judge BARNARD, than whom there Is no
better criminal lawyer in the United States
charged the jury yesterday, in the case of
THOMAS SHERIDAN, indicted for the murder
of his wife, with his accustomed ability,
accuracy and fairness. Tic result OF the
trial was q conviction Of murder in the first
degree, with strong recommendation to
mercy. We understnnd that in this recon.
mendation Judge BARNARD cordially unites.
1t is curious fact that on this trial tho
life of the prisoner hung upon single
word. The vital question was whether, in
the threatening expression which he used
in the presence Of his wife, he said, "Your
doom is sealed" or Ills doom is sealed"
The jury believed the evidence that his Ian
guagc, addressed to his wife, wns. "Four
doom is sealed :" and consequently they con.
victed him OF murder in the FIRST degree.
We think there con hardly be doubt that
Gov. HOFFMAN will commute the sentence
to imprisonment for life.

Gen. GRANT has declined to accept Mr..
FIsn's resignation at present, and has dc.
sired him to retain 1t until after the adjourn

Paying the odious Income Tax.

It is about time for the collection of the
odious and unjust income tax, aud we de-
upon to pay it, to accompany their payment
with protest against the constitutionality
Of the act requiring it.
There is no doubt that tho &c; will be set
aside sooner or later by the Supreme Court,
and then whatever taxes have been paid
under it with q protest will have to he re-
funded whereas if no protest is made. the
payer is without a remedy.

Mr.. JAMES WHEELER Is an agent Of that

letter TO endorse it. Some gentlemen are of
opinion that lie has shown them such let.

testify that he has read it, or that he knows
that il was in Gen. PoRrER's handwriting.
On the other hand, Gen. PORTER, whose
veracity no man Will question, AYERS that he

either to contradict these statements Of Gen.
