ment. Whatever may be said as to the
validity of that amendment, or of the
test oath act, you may rest assured
that senators elected by members of
legislatures who are held by the radicals
TO be thus disqualified, will not be per-
mitted to take their seats. and that the
Members Of the house of representatives
thus disiu lifed will also be excluded.
1t IS the painest dictate of practical
wisdom not to incur any such risks.
We hope soon TO see the day when all
disabilities will be removed; but in the
meantime, we entreat you, do not lose
the opportunity to retrengthen the Dem
ocratic and conservative force in con

bility ofobtsining majority in the next
house of representatives, by putting it

Congressional Convention.

Recently We had conversation with
j. P. Early, of Laporte, chairman Of
the congressional central committee, re-
stive to the time and place Of holding
the Democratic congressional conven
tion for this district. Ee al be had
not received report f all the coun-
ties bat that majority Of the di triet
hal voted in favor of Wanatah Us the
place, and the 10th Of August as the
time. Wanatah is no doubt the most
convenient of access of any place IN
the district. but the date is certainly too
late to enable the Democrats of the dis
trict to do as effective work in the CAM
paign as if the convention had net
sooner.
Our opponent. are thoroughly organ
lied and at work, while in many coun-
ties our friends have no effective organ
;zation. The nomination of a congress
sional candidate, and the opening Of IA
canvass generally inspires courage
among Democrats where they are weak
in numbers in comparison with theiI
opponents But j, is probably 100 late
to effect change Of time. even if tbs
central committee could be convinced
of Its utility. 1t only remains fer US To
do the best we can In the short time

The New kim Of spaiu.

The young Duke of Aosta, son of Victor
Emmanuel Of Italy, has finally been chosen
King of Spain by majority of seventy-one
in Cortes Of three hundred and eleven MEM
bers, and Spain, which has been blindly
cropping about in the dark after the sgnis
.fatuus Of a republic, has at last despairingly
clutched monarchy. The vote does not
seem to have been very strong one in favor
even Of so popular young man as the Prince
Amedae, and we may reasonably conclude
that monarchy is not the form Of govern
nent that the Spanish people most ardently
crave. The choice Of the Duke at this time
sets the unfortunate country fairly in the
arena where such deadly wagers are already
threatening. The new Kings relation TO
Victor Emmanuel makes Spain direct and
close ally of Italy and brings her into close COM
munion with the spirits that propose alliance
against the Ursa Major Of the East, and she
will therefore have her blows to take in the
coming war and her concessions to make in
the expected congress. Her internal commo
tions have not been altogether allayed by this
still Expresses her sleeping and waking hours,
the Carlists threaten disturbances In the pro-
vinces and even in the capital, and dark Guy
Fawkes conspirators are not wanting to lend
variety to the long list Of evils that attend the
new monarchical venture.
The young Prince himself is personally
unfortunate in being the choice Of the Spanish
people for the throne at this time. He is only
twenty-five years old, is the second son of his
father and is a man of family. Morally aud
mentally he presents very fair average for a
prince. His prospects were excellent at home,
and, although he mi yht never have reached the
throne Of Italy, he had worldly goods enough
and worldly sway enough to content him. He
goes now, as Macmillan went, among a
strange people who have at least tasted the
sweets Of q republic, who have made what
may prove to be mere show of electing him
King, and who, like the Mexicans, are proven
bially proud, treacherous and revolutionary.
The fate Of Macmillan is a sad one to con-
template, and we heartily hope it will not befall
his prototype in Spain; but the analogy
between the two is so plain as to BE- unavoid-
able. Dethroned and disabled monarchs are
becoming very frequent spectacles in Europe
now, and probably as the winter progresses
they may increase to an astonishing number.
The young King will have to take his chance
among the others, and therefore we think his
withdrawal from the parental roof and eleva-
ton to strangers throne at this time is
unfortunate for him.

Coon OLD GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR had
troublesome habit OF suffering badly when
excited. On one occasion, during the Semi
mole war, he led charge against a body of
the redskins, crying out to his men, ''G-g-ive
'em r-r-ats !" Had he lived in Missouri-as
he once did-during the late election, he
might have cried out to the democrats when
charging the republicans, ''G-g-ive 'em
G-g-ratz!" They have done 50, and did it up
s'brown," too.
