PRINCE HENRI BOURBON, whom the Duke
de Montpensier killed in duel last week
near Madrid, was the brother.in-law of the
dethroned Isabella, and an earnest advocate
of her cause during the late revolution which
drove her from the country. He was the
third son Of the Duke of Csdz and own
brother of Isabella's husband. In lS47 he
married, and was LETT widower in 1868. At
the age of twenty-seven he was vice admiral
of the Spanish feet. His dignity as infant of
Spain was withdrawn from him by public de-
cree inl March, 1867. Recently, while the
cortes had been canvassing for king, he had
opposed the claims of the Duke de Montpen-
ser, and IN December, 1868, he wrote strong
letter from Paris to the provisional govern
ment, denouncing the duke in unmeasurcd
terms.

Rev. CHAs. E. CHENEY.-The Ottawa Re
publican is of course at liberty to take what
side it pleases in what it calls :" the contro-
versy between Bishop Whitehouse and the
Rev. G. E. Cheney" but it ought to state tru-
ly what the controversy is about. The con-
troversy certainly has no reference to "ritual-
ISM" The rubrics of the Prayer Book, which
Mr.. Cheney solemnly promised to obey when
he took upon him his ordination vows, direct
him, in administering baptism, to use the
word regenerate." Mr. Cheney gives to
this word a meaning which the Church never
sanctioned, and in administering baptism
omits it. The{bishop, as in duty bound, ad-
monshes him that in this he is running coun.
ter to his ordination vows-in other words
that he is taking upon himself to do that
which all the bishops together cannot do-to
change the forms of the Prayer Book and its
rubrics. Mr.. Cheney admits the charge and
defes the bishop, upon which the bishop has
no alternative but to bring him to trial. Peo-
pie could frequently avoid talking nonsense
if they took pains beforehand to find out
what they were talking about.

ScANDALoUs.-St. Louis happens, for the
last year or two, to have been able to throw
of the incubus of radicalism by which its en-
orgies were weighed down and its prosperity
retarded, and to become a democratic city.
A city election is again at hand, and of course
there is no hope for the radicals except by
rascality and trickery. Unfortunately, Mis-
souri, has registry law, and the officers to
make the registration are appointed by the
Governor. The functionary appointed to do
this business for st. Louis has conceived the
brilliant idea of registering the niggers, on the
assumption that the 18th amendment is in
force. 1t is in vain that Secretary Fish has
advised him that the amendment has not vet
been, and may not be for months, be formally
announced as adopted, and until then is not
in force. The registrar IS proceeding with
his registration, and law or no law, the Mig
ger will be allowed to vote at the coming cleo
tion IN st. Louis. Any thing to defeat the
democrats. There was a time when Demo.

NORTH CARoLINA-Somen iggers and whit,

NORTH CARoLINA.-Some niggers and white
people in Altamara county, North Carolina
got into a row, and, if carpet Dagger reports
are to be believed, the whites got rather the
better of the fight. The bone of contention
may have been henroost, pig-pen or some
thing Of thatkind, at least there is no evidence
that the differences were political. GOV. nol-
den, however, magniied it into an "insurrcc-

did not satisfy Holden. lie has some enemies

be suspended by congress. and in times of
great public danger. Is Il squnbbe over a

Tennessee,

The name of Butler has become the syno-
nym of thieving, cowardice, and immeasura.
BILE political meanness, but no conception of
his hitherto surpasses in atrocity his present
proposition to reconstruct Tennessee. There
is no other motive for it in the world than re-
venge tor Stokes against Senter, because the
latter beat HIM in the race for Governor last
year. The pretence of disturbances in Ten
nessee-that the loyal people--meaning the
niggers-are in danger of their lives, and all
that sort of nonsense, is proved to be false in
toto, and that Tennessee is as free from MUIR
der and outrage as Massachusetts or any
northern state. Two niggers, named Brown
and Carter who had been induced by Stokes
few weeks ago to send piteous tale to
Washington of the sufferings Of their colored
brethren and daily outrages to which they
were subjected, on being brought before a
magistrate to testify as to the authors OF
these outrages that they might be punished,
canddly admitted that so far as they knew
nothing of the kind had ever transpired, and
that they themselves had never been molested.
Such revelations rs these expose the dirty ma
chinery which the extreme Radicals are will
ing to use to accomplish their ends Igno-
rant negroes are persuaded to send these lying
stories to the seat Of government in order to
Sire the popular heart" and to bring such a
pressure to bear on congress as to induce that
body to reconstruct Tennessee over again. We
doubt whether more consummate political
vilainy than this was ever practiced, and we
cannot believe that it will succeed. Senators
and representatives will not surely listen to
such Infamous falsehoods, and act as though
they were true. There is, there must be, a
depth to which even Radicals will refuse to
sink

The Hon. Mr. Bradley was the first to con.

he, "Oh. nothing, only wish Grant would pay

state that when he entered the Presidents pri-
vate room he found ex-Gov. Ward, of New Jer-
sey, there; that Grant was whiting stick and
smoking, and that he and Ward were talking
about that Long Branch property; that Grant
had asked Ward how much he thought it was
worth that Ward said he didn't know. but he
hoped Grant wouldn't sell it. "No," said Grant,

An able article from the Chicago Couri.

An able article from the Chicago Courier,
headed "Our Financial System and the Far
mcrs," is copied on our Sd page this week,
not because we endorse all it says, but mainly
for the illustrations it gives of how our farm
ers arc swindled through the enormous exac-
tons of the present tariff. Whoever else may
be benefited by high tariffs, we seldom see
even an attempt made, by the tariff advocates,
to prove that the tariff benefits the farmers
1t is an attempt from which the taritfites may
well shrink, for it is thing that can no more
be proven than that twice two make five.

Mission of the Democracy.

A writer in the Chicago Times, urging re-
organization of the Democracy on newibasis'
along with many things which We should
greatly hesitate to endorse. yet says most
. truthfully, that ''the democratic party was the
legitimate outgrowth of our form of govern
mental organization that the government
could be administered only on the theories of
the democratic statesmen and when the at
tempt was made to administer it on the thco-
ries of the republican party, absolute failure
would result, and, if forced, the organization
would be destroyed. As well try to make a
missletoe grow on the ground or toadstool
on q green tree. Well, the organization has
been destroyed; the "checks and balances"
have been removed and power has become
centralized. The states arc provinces only.
They are no longer republics, independent in
their own spheres, but subject to the dictation
of general republic in national or interstate
matters. Congress has arrogated to itself all
power. Wherever the supreme court has got
chance it has declared void every one of the
enactments trcnching on the rights of the
states and the people. So, false legislation
once begun cannot cease, being hydra whose
heads and fangs increase with each attempt
at decapitation."
A striking illustration of how completely
power has become centralized at Washington
and the rights of the states are ignored, is af
forded by the present controversy over the
Mayorship of Richmond The Mayor of Rich
mond, like most other officers in the state, I'M
der reconstruction rule, was an appointee of
Gen. Canby-his name Cahoon A few weeks
ago Virginia was reconstructed and Canby's
occupation supposed to be gone. There be-
ing no Mayor of Richmond elected according
to the laws of the state, and no election until
May, Gov. Walker, strictly in accordance with
the constitution of Virginia, appointed tenn
porarily to the Mayorship man named
Ellison. He went to the office to take pos.
session, but found Cahoon in no mood 20 sur
render the office. Ellison gathered his police
force and undertook to eject HIM u at armis.
And now comes in Gen. Candy with military
power and insist that Cahoon shall continue
to be Mayor in spite of Gov. Walker and the
constitution and laws of reconstructed Virgin
ia, and it is said the powers at Washington
sustain the course of Gen. Candy. If the
military authorities at Washington can ignore
the Governor and constitution and laws of
Virginia, why may they not do the same in
Illinois or New York. What is this but i'm.
perialism?
