source Of unmltlgated anguish to any native
OF that country by whom q spark Of the
ancient patriotism Is Inherited, aud whose
minds are not altogether absorbed by the.
ancient pride, q national characteristic which
in all ages has boon largely developed.
Everything seems TO depend upon General
Prim, whose deslrcs, whatever they may DO,
are intended, as Il would seem, to DO accom-.
phshed BY wearing out the eonstaney and
courage OF other partlsans. II IL to be re-
GREETED also that neither General Grant nor
Mr.. Sumner, the latter aspiring to monopo-
lire all knowledge OF Spanish and Cuban
affairs in Washington, seem to understand
the condition OF political Affairs In Spain to-
day, nor their relative bearing on the sirug-
giles Of the Cubans for liberty. Once there
was no greater power In tho world than
Spain but from the time OF the cold, cruel,
and remorseless Philip II, the downward
progress has been continuous, until for the |
salvation Of even the sign and manner OF
independent Sovereignty, the sovereign had |
no other alternative but TO accept, as De |
Jseto Governor, whatever military adVen-
turer succeeded in forcing his way to au-
thority.
What contrast Is presented by the Spain
Of to-day and the Spain OF "the great Colos-
sus Of the Papaey," who prepared and
launched his wonderful Armada to destroy
the Queen Of England, because she protected
the Huguenots, and declined TO make her
country a bowling Wilderness at the lnstlEa-
tion OF foreign despot. At the accession
Of King Philip there was no more powerful
monarch in Europej his army was immense,
and he possessed q navy Of equal strength
and importanceI his generals and adnlrAls
were men OF genius, courage and experiences;
and an Indefinite period Of glory and great |
ness scanned to DO tho happy destiny Of his |
kingdom. This was the spain Philip the |
Second inherited. What he lsft to his Sue-
eesSor was throne dsSpolled Of itS falrest
Possessions. Holland was free and Elan
ders was In ruins. The strength OF the ma
tlon was paralyEed everywhere, and the az
ehequer was exhausted. Intellect and ener-
giles were exhausted but the priests, who
had led the King through his course Of
ruthless cruelty, were paramount. "The

Tho purpose OF the whole llfo OF King Philip
was to annihllate ProtestantiIm, and the
d terrible Armada that was to destroy Queen
Elizabeth, was only resolved upon when
every other effort, open and concealed, had |
failed. The somewhat recent discoveries by |

Hay,i md -. Domingo.

Troubles are again multiplying in the repub-
lies of ST. Domingo and Hayti. They follow
each other so quickly that it is almost impos-
sbe to keep track Of them. Parties are SO
numerous, dssensions so prevalent and in.
trigues so common that peace seems almost
impossible under the existing order of things
within the confines OF these countries. The
terrible example made Of Salnave, it seems,
has not proved sufficient warning to deter
certain members of his family, backed up by
small party and secretly aided it is said, by
President Baez, of ST. Domingo, from plotting
the overthrow Of the Saget administration.
Frauds, too, Of grave nature, have been dis
covered in the Haytien treasury. The national
bank notes Of the republic have been counter
feiled. Some Of the counterieiters have been
arrested tried, and the terrible sentence OF
death melted out to them. In ST. Domingo we
find almost as bad state of affairs existing.
Spain is at her old work of intrigue through
her secret agents, and although poor as she is
she still has gold sufficient to stir up
the enemies of Dominican annexation to the
United States. With the sad picture of the
condition of these two republics before us, and
considering how productive, happy and pros
porous both might be if governed by any de-
gree of wisdom, forethought or sagacity, we
| cannot see why the United States Congress
acted so blindly in the matter Of Dominican
annexation President Grants West Indian
| policy is wise and demands fair impartial
and thoughtful consideration. The American
| people favor it. American merchants believe
| in it, and we trust that when next it will be
taken up for consideration in the national
legislature the result will be such as to show
that the desires of the people have been re-
| spected

When Katy found herself entrapped she dropped

The programme for the fall meeting OF the
Jockey Club is extraordinarily attractive The
value Of the stakes to be run for, and the mum
Der and superior merits of the horses to be
entered in the autumnal games, which will
begin on Thursday next, may well excite
public interest. If the fine October weather
shall prevail which usually makes this season
the most delightful one in our American year,
the five days Of the fall meeting Thursday,
Oct. 6; Saturday, Oct. s; Tuesday, Oct. II;
Thursday, Oct. 10, and Saturday, Oct. ID
will witness at Jerome Park not only some of
the best racing, but also the most brilliant
gathering OF beauty, fashion, intelligence and
wealth. No more favorable opportunity can
be offered to foreign tourists and to visitors
from all parts Of our vast country for seeing
the representative men and women Of New
York society than is offered by these races.
Nor is the animated picture, with its back
ground Of unsurpassed rural scenery, the less
agreeable because OF the absence OF the
ragged, noisy, swearing mob which disfigures
an English race course. On the contrary, by
excluding that ugly feature of an English
race course, the Jockey Club has succeeded
in securing for its members and their families
and guests the unalloyed enjoyment OF the
legitimate excitements which await them at
Jerome Park. The club stands will be thrown
open to the public al the approaching meeting,
Each year additional provision is made Tor
rendering the races more interesting, not only
TO turfmen but TO all classes in our community.
Experience has shown the wisdom Of remov-
ing certain absurd restrictions which at first
lessened the popularity Of the jerome Park
races. On more liberal basis they will now
become more popular than ever. The exhila-
rating drive through the Central Park to and
| from the race course is in itself delight.

The General Military Situation Through
ou. France.
At Paris the siege continues with no active
advances on either side. The Prussians are
said to be awaiting the arrival Of their heavy
Siege guns, and in the interval keep securely
out of reach of the guns Of their enemy. In
side three hundred and seventy-fvs thousand
of the National Guard are said to be eating
their heads of and the heads Of the citizens,
too, with the onerous demands they make on
the provision supply, and are, besides fretting
with impotence at the cool inactivity of their
enemy. The dreadful suspense and monotony
of the siege, like hope deferred, maketh the
heart sick, and it is having its effect on the
volatile garrison within. One enasa,ied indi-
vidual, commandant at Fort D'Issy, trying to
whistle down the monotony, has bravely de-
clared, in the spirit OF Mrs. Mcawber, who
would never desert wilkins, that he will not
surrender his fortress on any terms.
While the Prussans are thus quietly waiting
for the plum Of Paris to fall into their mouth
King William seems to have taken extraor-
already fallen. He has issued a royal decree
ordering all districts of France occupied by
German troops, except Alsace and Lorraine, to
submit to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
SchweIin as Governor decree which looks
very much as if there were questions beyond
the war to be settled as if little German gov
ernments might be substituted in instalments
for the republican provisional government; as il
King William intended to split up or dismem-
Der France. Another heavy detachment of
landwehr are pushing forward from Berlin,
ostensibly 10 operate against Lyons in the
South. May it not be rather that they are to
help hold the districts already captured, TO
act as the army Of occupation to secure to the
Grand Duke Of Mecklcnburg- Schwerin this IN
expcctedly large addition to his little duchy?
General Uhlrich, the hero Of Strasbourg, has
arrived at Tours and has been welcomed with
the most distinguished hon0rs by the people
and the government. France needs such
general as Uhlrich at the present crisis. Never,
in any previous emergency, has she proven 80
deficient in able generals UIhrich, by his
bravery and persistency at Strasbourg, showed
himself to be the very general that France
needs, as the war evidently is to be one alone
OF sieges; but, unfortunately, he is paroled,
we believe, to fight no more until exchanged.
