SEPRdNO And ZORRILLI.

The clever gentlemen who have cOnjured
up the present Cabinet crisis in Spain may
find it is easier to break up Ministry by in
trigue and cabal than to found another
The defeat of the effort of Mr.. Zorrilla to give
to the Democratic leaders the Presidency of
the Legislature has excited general move
mcnt of sympathy for the late Cabinet
throughout tho Kingdom. 1t is now stated
that twenty-five of She Provincial Governors
have rendered their designations in token OF
adhesion to Mr.. Zorrilla. Meanwhile the Nal
campo Ministry does not flourish. Inc
most distinguished name it contained,
Senior OIozaga, drops out to-day, and further
shifting of portfolios tax IS place. The defeat
of the Government was evidently matter Of
ambuscade and SURPRISE and appears to find
no approval from the country at large. This
shows the gradual growth Of a public opinion
in Spain which in time may teach the unprln-
ciped advcnturers of that country that their
work is not done when they have plotted and
swindlcd Government for . moment out of
its majority.
We arc astonished to find in a paper Ordi-
Qarily 80 cautious as The Eucnin5 Mail
n strong Endorsement Of Marshal Serrano
~ an ADLER and moro liberal man than Ruiz
Zorrilla, and orc more likely to do justice to
Cuba. Is it possible The Mail does not know
that Serrano is the head of the Liberal Union
party, which, not content with opposing every
scheme for reform in the Antilles set on foot
by She PrOgresistas, Democrats, and Repub-
icans, continually clamOrs for harsher and
mora brutal measures of exterminationf 1t
is true that many years ago Serrano
bore manly testimony to the wrongs of Span
ish nisrule in Cuba, but since then he has
been in full faith and fellowship with Co
ballcro, Valmascda, and the rest of the human
island. At this hour the strongest support of
Vamaseda is that self same Duke dc la Tore,
whom The Mail accepts as fair and liberal
statesman. 1t is of course deeply to be regret
ted that Zorrilla and his enlightened colleagues
have been able to do nothing as yet for the
solution of that important and pcrpcxing
problem of Cuban independence. But it should
not bs forgotten that it was the bitter and
malignant hostility of the Liberal Union to
every plan of reform which has prevented the
accomplishment of anything in that direction.
AS to Serrano's ability, that is new dis
cove;y. He gained his first promotions by his
good looks from that susceptible sovereign
Isabel H., and has survived ever since upon
his pleasant manners and superficial good na-
ture. lie compares with Ruiz ZOrrila as a
statesman about as Gen. Hancock with Charles
Sumner

TIE DOOM or DESERET.

The frantic outclics of tbe Mormon leaders
at Salt Lako City show only the desperation
of their case. After fourtccn years of tenn
pcrzing and experimenting, the National Gov
eminent has at lest obtained such a foothod
in the Territory Of Utah that we see before us
the doom of that im2e,ium In imperio, the
sO-called State of DeseFet. In considering the
Mormon problem superficial people have too
commonly allowed their attention to be fixed
only On the institution of polygamy, which is
but ooe Of the chief characteristics of Nor
monism. Tho truth is, polygamy rs not 30
80 much tho strength as the weakness of
the great hierarchy which the United
States Government is now trying to break
down. If the destruction of this fraudulent,
insOlent and foreign power is to follow the
present commOtion in Utah, it will be through
pOlygamy, but not because of that unnatural
practice.
When the Mormons settled in Utah, they
fancicd that they had got 80 far away from
the political and commercial centes of the
Republic that they would be able to nurse
their peculiar institutions and practice their
peculiar tenets unObserved and undisturbed.
They committed the error of suppOsing that
they could, in the territory of the United
States, build up an empire of which the auton-
omy and independence would be complete and
unquestioned. The discovery of gold in Califor-
MIA, attracting across the continent large and
permanently increasing stream of travel, gave
the first rude shock to this fond belief. But
the Mormons clung to their traditions and
revelations, and, strengthening in every di-
rection the bulwarks of their new Zion, tho
State of Deseret they adhered to the infalli-
bility of their leader, Brigham Young, who
has declared: "As the Lord lives, we are
"bound to become sovereign State in this
Union or an independent nation. / am
"stil, and still will be. the Governor of this
"Territory." Inspired by words like these from
one whom they believed to be in daily receipt
of direct messages from Heaven, the Mormons
yielded to the formation of hierarchy which
not only was the political government of
Dcscret but slowly absorbed all the powers
which regulate commercial aud social inter

The surrender of Cochise, the great Apache
chief, or, rather, his REIMBURSEMENT of bostili-
ties, is a notable event in the history of In
dian warfare in New Mexico and Arizona. If
it is made in good faith, it may lead to a per
manent peace with the tribes who have rem
dered Arizona almost uninhabtable. COchise is
chief of an important and powerful branch OF
the Apache tribe, and was originally sincere
friend of the whites by an act of the darkest
treachery, many Of his family, race, and friends
were slain by the settlers, and he escaped,
wounded and with difficulty. lie swOre ven
geance on the dcccitful white man, and, from
that time, became a terrible scourgp. de-
vastating the country and making his name
terror to the whites II the Peace Commits
soners have secured the quiet of this warrior,
they have done enough to repair all the errors
that have been charged to them.

Connecticut Temperance RcformerS are
threatening to initiate the miSchcvoUs tao
tics of their brethren in some parts of Ohio
in forming third and distinct organization,
with an almost certain prospect of turning
the State into the hands of their most violent
opponents. 1t is notorious that, if
the Democratic party of Connecticut
secure the Legislature, one of their first acts
would be to repeal the Prohibitory law In the
last General Assembly the Republican Senate
passed a stringent bill. which was continued
to the next session by Democratic votes
in the Lower House. 1t is toerably
certain that the only hope of the Connecticut
Temperance Reformcrs is with the Republi-
can party; when they cut away from that they
are ready to be sacrificed by the blindness of
OvPr-zcalOuS men.

thence into the Board Of Supervisors, WHEREOF

like a prince and lavished money on every
side-and that he is now the owner
of some Fifteen Or Twenty Millions worth

and family expenses cannot fall below
$500 900 per annum. While he has thus been
virtual dictator of our City-the acknowledged
"Boss" of his party and the god of its legions

do of Mr. Twecd's omnipotence in our Clty's

nishcs a few important items of intclli-

of the Democrats who are using. as
they do, every imaginable device to
gain Republican support for few Of
the candidates for the Legislature BY
a shallow trick they have attempted to gam
over enough of the disaffected Republicans in
Hamilton County to give them the majority
of the Assomblymcn from that county; and this
small device, with various notifications, has
been repeated in every close county. We be-
licve that there are Republican wisdom and

We have believed Mr.. John II. keyser to
to be an honest man. When his alleged COM
plications with the Tammany Ring were made
public, we avowed that belief, and awaited
such explanations as. in good time, he might
be able to make. These come, in the return
to the people of New-York Of Sir hundred
and Fifty thousand dollars received from
their treasury without value given, and now
made over in trust to Jackson Schultz, and the
members of the Committee of Seventy. Of the
ultimate effect of this action on the reputation
of Mr.. Keyser as an honest man we do not
now speak, because the barren record of the facts
does not warrant an intelligent verdict But
we accept it as q single proof, out Of many, of
the existence of the enormous frauds upon the
City Treasury whereof we have made vehe-
mcnt complaint. If this man, whom we have
supposed honest, has received, according
