A Ray of Hope.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
Appeals, in'the cases of ex-Mayor Chahoon
and Mr.. Sands, is like the first streak Of
sunshine from sky long o'ercast by dark
and angry clouds. The circumstances at
tending the trial of Mr.. Chahoon, were
such as to leave no room for doubt in
the mind of calm and impartial observer
of events in this city, that be was victim
to partisan hate aud passion.
His trial was simply persecution, and
his conviction martyrdom. When the case
comes up again, those binding prejudices,
which cloud the minds ofjurors and judges
will in great measure have passed away,
and partisan zeal and bitterness will per-
haps be tempered with little more regard
for justice
The successful result of this appeal to
the Supreme Court, cannot but be pro-
ductive of the happiest influences in hasten
ing the great work of reconciliation which
is now progressing SO rapidly among us.
As we have not yet read the opinions in
the cases, which are quite voluminous apd
exhaustive, we reserve further comment
for the present.

TIE NEW SPANISH INa.--The new
King of Spain goes to bed every night at
ten o'clock, like good Christian, and rises
betimes, which astouuds the Spanards of
the court. who have been in the habit Of
turning night into day. He has also
abolished the absurd etiquette of the Span
ish court, of which so many ridiculous
stories used to be told. The King refuses
to allow his royal fingers to be kissed, and
shakes hands like any plebeian. A COR
respondent writes of him:
"He walks about the streets without an
escort. visits the poor, and makes pur-
chases in the shops. The King contribu-
ted SIS 900 for the poor of Madrid, and an
equal amount for the needy members ofthe
citizen militia. Having ascertained that
the paw of the public school teachers was
several months in arrears, the King has
refused to draw on the treasury for his
own until the claims of the teachers are
satisfied. He also expressed his intention
to grant general amnesty for political
offences, but the constitution takes this
power away from him."
This boy, for he is little else, is doing
much to disarm the hostility and pride OF
the Spanish people, and, it is said, educate
them up to the republic.
