THE MA YORS VETO.

MAYOR Fox yesterday vetoed the resolution
of Councils inviting the New York 7th Regi-
ment to visit the city of Philadelphia. The
reasons given for this veto are so excellent
that they will commend themselves without
argument to the good sense of our citizens,
and they should have been accepted as con-
elusive by both branches of Councils. Select
Council, indeed, did sustain the Mayor unani-
mously, but, strange to say, Common Coun-
Gil passed the resolution over the veto by
vote of 35 to 10. The Mayor objected, in
the first place, to tender of the hospitalities
of the city of Philadelphia without the ap-
pointment of any committee of the city
authorities to make suitable provision for the
comfort and entertainment of the regiment
and without any appropriation having been
made to meet the necessary expenses His
principal objection, however, was that such
an entertainment as was proposed should be
at private cost and not at the expense of the
municipality. The Mayor is clearly and en-
phatieally right in this, and he is
correct in doubling the propriety of such
precedent. If the 7th Regiment should be
invited here and entertained at the expense
of the city, there would in the future be per-
petual demands for the extension of like
courtesies to other military associations,
fire companies, and all manner of organiza-
tions, at an annual expense to the taxpayers
of many thousands of dollars. The Mayor
intimates that extraordinary circumstances
may arise when it would be perfectly proper
for the city to make tender of its hospi-
talities to a prominent and popular military
organization like the 7th Regiment, but there
is no occasion whatever al the present time
for us to keep open house, and, in refusing
to approve of this project, the Mayor mani
festly performed his duty, and is entitled to
the thanks of the already over-burdened tax
pavers

THE CROWN OF SPAIN.

The poor Spaniards are still in trouble about
their crewn, which none of the regular pro-
fsssional princes Of Europe, who are always
waiting for any such vacancies as may turn
up, seem to be very solicitous about assuming.
The Duke de Nontpensier now seems to be
almost the only candidate with royal blood in
his veins, and he belongs to family that has
been out of business for a good many years,
for the reason that its principal representatives
are not up to the latest improvements in
the art Of kingship. Montpensier's chances,
however, are apparently not very brilliant just
at the present time, and the public attention
appears to be principally concentrated upon
Serrano and Espartero, who are good
Spaniards, although they do not boast
of royal connections. The cable
dispatches from Madrid state that the news
is important but conflicting. 1t would be
something wonderful if it were anything else
than conflicting, for ever since the consum-
nation of the revolution our information
about the prospects for definite settlement
of the affairs of the Government has been
but little else than vague rumors, and the
latest intelligence is probably entitled to
about as much credence as most that has pre-
ceded it. One report states that the Council
of Ministers have determined to confer upon
the Regent Serrano the royal attributes, if no
candidate for the throne can be found within
reasonably short time, and another informs
us that the crown will be forced upon the
veteran Espartero, whether he will or
not, in default of any other solution of
the question. Another rumor is that
Montpensier has returned to Madrid,
and that his eldest son had long conference
with the Regent Serrano, which may indicate
that Montpensier is bent upon urging his
claims. After all, it would not be matter for
surprise if Serrano were to accept the crown,
and If 1t were to be discovered that he has
been intriguing and managing for this con-
summation from the first Hitherto Serrano
has openly played the part of pure and dis
interested patriot, but the crown of Spain,
although it has been declined by SO MANY
princes of the blood royal, is still prize to
tempt ambition, and Serrano's position as
Regent has given him taste of power which
may have made him the more anxious to pos
