despotism and theocraces Of the past or that

The Spanish orator ranges wide and far on
political topics aud the situation of Europe In
his speech The greater part is aimed at the
foreign monarchy engrafted upon Spain, and
at Serrano and others of the Ministry who
committed this outrage upon the Spanish peo-
pie. He is very bitter. ON this ''cer.ain kind
of foreign domination, the more odious be-
cause the more hypocrtical." ''Thus it is,
gentlemen" he exclaims, when discussing the
imported monarchy, that duty of patriotism
and of conscience compels me to say that in
your work, that in spite of having brought it
from distant land with a long naviga-
ton, all the world may read these words
Fragile! Fragile! Fragile !" With regard to
the Papacy he said 1.-THE temporal
power of the Pope, gentlemen, is dead,
and rightly dead. But we ought not to mis-
take. The Pope being, as he is, an interior
authority of Spain, the chief of the Church

that the power which has succeeded him in
Rome can guarantee the Pontifcal authority
its absolute independence? believe not.
The Pope is the chief of the Spanish Church.
The king of Italy is the chief of the Pope. A
foreign King raised to the head of a great
nation, is the chief of our Church. See you
not the dangers of this anomalous situation ?"
He then argues that this places the King Of
Italy in position dangerous to Spain and the
other Latin Catholic nations, and that the only
proper solution is in Rome becoming repub-
lie; for then the Pope could exercise his func-
tons independently of any ambitious monarch
We cannot allude to all the questions discussed
in this highly interesting and brilliant Grafton,
but would say that no American can read it
without pleasure. 1t is one of the most re-
markable, intellectual and statesmanlike pro-
auctions of the times. and cannot fail to pro-
duce results beyond the Spanish peninsula as
well as in Spain.

The POWER OF MAGNETISM. Chief Justice
Chase is at the Magnetic Springs, Michigan,
and it is reported that the most remarkable
change has taken place 10 his appearance. and
that the indications, from the rcjuvenating
properties of those magnetic waters, are his
rapid, complete and permanent convalescence;
and that, 10 short, he promises to come out as
good as new with the opening Of the Presden-

A MILITIA BILL is under discussion in the

people of the District has been under cloud

gress legislated for them, but now. feeling free,
they naturally take to armng and drilling.

Tho News from Spain.

The cable has been very contradictory on
the subject of the new Spanish Cabinet. The
day before yesterday it gave in all confidence
the names of the newly formed Ministry. Yes
terday it reported that the new combination
under Marshal S,rraro had proved failure
before it came into existence. To-day the cable
says that it was all mistake; that the new
having already taken the oath of Office. We
may, therefore, taxi it for granted that Marshal
Serrano has succeeded in forming new
Ministry.
What Spain ne ds just now is a powerful,
unflinching hand to keep the turbulent factions
within bounds more liberal combination
under Gorilla would have been desirable to
the fri ends of constitutional liberty, but it lis
doubtful whether Cabinet under Gorilla
could hold its own for any length
of time. The last Ministry had demo-
cratic elements in it and failed, as
we have seen by the resignation of Senior
Moret, who was liberal, besides being very
able financier, but WHO, by the persistent OPP
position of the majority, was forced to resign.
The present Ministry is more conservative than
the last and may obtain working majority in
the Cortes At any rate it will last until the next
session of that body. Marshal Serrano If he
cannot command the support, at least COM
mands the respect of all parties. He is, more.
over, the representative of the Spanish army
great power and source of power in Spain.
Senior Sagssta retains his post as Minister Of
the Interior, and is, perhaps, the most valuable
member of the new Cabinet. The other ap-
pointments-chiefly that of the new Minister of
Fluance-are more or less open to criticism.

The North Pole Expedition.

If Captain Halls North Pole expedition is
destined to prove failure it will not be
because of an insuffciency in the means and
supplies deemed necessary to insure success.
The Secretary of the Navy has given him
steamship expressly prepared and strength
ened in every way for campaign among
the icebergs and foes of the Arctic
provisioned expressly for long siege
in those desolate Northern regions; and
her officers, crew and scientific men have been
carefully selected from experienced cruisers in
the Arctic seas. The Captain himself is an
old campaigner in Baffin's Bay and its tribu-
tary sounds and inlets, and knows everything
that is known of the hardships and the dangers
before him.
The last duty Of the Navy Department in
reference to this expedition has been dis
charged in the equipment of the United States
ship Congress- and in loading her with provi-
sons and other supplies for Captain Hall, to
be delivered to him at or near his winter quar-
tiers in Greenland. We understand that Sec
rotary Robson personally attended to the
collection of these supplies, in order that the
best of everything should be furnished, and
that in Captain Davenport, of the ship Con-
gress, he has one of the most reliable officers
in the service for the special duty assigned
him in the careful delivery of these supplies,
amounting to one thousand barrels Of stores
and three hundred tons of coal.
Upon these supplies, together with the
seals, white bears, sea fowl &C., which may
fall in the way of Captain Hail. he and his
ships crew and attendants will have to depend
through the coming winter at their winter
quarters and in their expedition toward the
North Pole in the spring, and on their retur n
in the fall to their Greenland base of opera
tons. We have great faith that the daring
captain and crew will return to report the
complete success Of their enterprise But
even if successful in reaching the North Pole,
the question recurs. what good will be the
result2 Much good to science and for the
general benefit of mankind, we expect, in de-
termining the movements Of the northern cur
rents of the ocean and the atmosphera, in
GLIDING the electrical currents of the Arctic
Circle and their effects upon the climate and
the fluctuations of the seasons down in our
temperate zone all round the globe. And
last, though not least in our wishes, we desire
that to the United States shall belong the
credit of solving the mysteries connected with
the North Pole; and we look to Captain Hall
| to solve them. In other words, we hope that
the first flag planted on the North Pole, right
under the north star, will be from the good
ship Polaris, and the glorious flag of our coun-
try. As we estimate 1t, this one thing will be
glory enough to pay for the expedition; for il
will be splendid advertisement to the world il
behalf of the enterprising spirit Of the Ameri-
can people, and thus q good card for every
| American, wherever he may be.

The GOLD Pool turns up now and then, like
Monsieur Tcnson, and is accredited with being
once more at the bottom Of little rise in the
gold market. Like turtle, it dives on. of
sight when anybody comes along to look at it,
and, doubtless, now that its presence is sus-
pected, we shall see il quietly subside until
the clique desire to sell some more gold.

JULES FAvEE.-The report again reaches MS
that Jules Favre has rendered his resignation
as Minister of Foreign Affairs. President
Theirs refused to accept the proffered resigna-
ton, and 80 the matter rests for the present.
Since the downfall of the empire in September
last Jules Favre has been before the world as
one of the foremost men OF France. That he
has done the State some service even his enc
mics will not deny. During the trying hours
Of the siege, in the delicate arrangement of
peace, ami and the stormy scenes which char
acterized the first sttings of the National
Assembly in Bordeaux, tue Minister OF Foreign
Affairs discharged tie onerous dates Of his
position with TACT Judgment AMI patriotism.
We hope, therefore, to see him continue in
Office. France at present cannot afford to lose
the services of any of her sons, and especially
one of the marked ability Of Jules Favre.

JEFF DAVIS ON NEW DEPARTURE.-If
half that is said in the newspapers Of a certain
railway car adventure Of the ex-President of
the ''so-called Confederate States" is true he
has taken ''new Departure though not
according to the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. Indeed, if there is any truth
in the reports published on the subject of the
adventure referred to, Mr.. Davis accepted
the situation" with very unfortunate results,
and his cause is another ''lost cause. "
Seriously, however, the newspapers directly
concerned have made Of this affair, with the
names and specifications, case which Mr..
Davis in his own viudication cannot safely
regard with Indifference. If the charge is
gr0undless let it be so proved in court
pf justice: if substantially true, which we can
hardly believe, the accused ought to take
mother ''new departure" on Decline for
Utah and the Latter Day Saints.

HON, w. H,H, STOWELL.

We find in the Liberal Citizen the follow
ing notice of the capable and efficient Repre-
sentative of the 4th Congressional district !:
"This isgentleman seems to,be coming in for
quite large measure of abuse through the
columns of the Richmond Wing and other
Democratic papers of the Southern section
of the State. The great source of his of
Tending seems to be his unlimited control
over the colored voters of the Fourth Con-
gressional District.
'They admit that in his personal appear
ance and intercourse with the ''white
folks" he exhibits all the evidences of
well-bred and perfect gentleman, and there
fore an unfathomable mystery how any
one, wearing such livery, can condescend to
hold intercourse with the ignorant, hated
'black race" There are great many
things these blind Democrats don't under
stand, and a great many they will never
learn, unless they rub the scales from their
eyes.
The secret of Mr.. Stowell's influence
with his constituents lies principally in the
fact of his being a gentleman in every
sense of the word But he is more. He
is a man of enlarged and liberal views, has
kind and generous heart, and truly and
sincerely sympathizes with the poor, down.
troddcn and abused of every cline and
country.

STICK A PIN HERE.-The Dispatch,
this morning, contains the following bit of
matter, interesting to the public, particu-
larly to Mr.. Wynne, who is a member of
the Council, and also candidate for the
Senate.
Without mentioning the name of MIR.
Wynne, every body can see it is understood
for him, and while we don't like that way
of "whipping the devil around the stump"
we are glad to see the Dispatch acknowledge
ing the possibility of Republican victory,
at least over one of its candidates.
Mr.. w. will see the force of the remarks
of the Dispatch without our calling atten-
ton to them, and we wouldn't blame him
particle, if he told us twas none of our
business to medde with their family quar-
Iels.
INTERESTING TO CASDIDATEs.--The constitution
of Virginia contains the following provision Ar
ticle VI, section 20)
Members of Common Councils shall hold no
other office in cities, and no city officer shall hold
n seat in the General Assembly"
This provision deciares i'll effect that council
men are city officers in saying that they shall
hold no 'ofher' office and as it then adds that
mo city officer shall hold a seat in the General
Assembly it virtually prohibits councmen as
well as other city officials from serving in the
General Assembly. Such officers however need
not resign their offices before they elected
the General Assembly.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

We have received a neat pamphlet con-
tanning information of the Law Depart
ment Of Howard University.
The faculty consists of General o. o.
Howard, President Of the University; j.
NJ. Langston, Dean; Hon. A. G. Riddle
and Hon. c. G. Mott, Lecturers; II. D..
Beam, Instructor and Secretary. We
quote as follows:
The Department was regularly organized
January g. 1859, under J M. Langston, Esq
and Hon A. j. Riddle, Professors, commencing
with but Six (6) students. AT the close of the
session, June so, 1869, the number of students
had increased 10 twenty-five t22), and, as shown
by the annual report herewith published, the
growth of The Depai tment since, has beens con
slant and comparatively rapid.
The exercises of the Department are held in
the Howard University building, at the head of
Seventh street. where large and convenient rooms
have been specially fitted up for the purposes of
recitations, lectures, and moot courts.
The design of this Departments is to give a COM
plete course of legal education 10 students desi-
ring to enter upon the profession of the law and
while it is not attempted to tamiliaifze the stu
dent with all the details of local practice, the
exercises of the Department are directed to the
end of a complete preparation of its graduates.
by means of thorough instruction in legal and
collateral branches of study, as well as by prac-
tice in the moot COURT including the drawings of
papers and pleadings, and the arguments of
causes for successful effort at the bar
The terms of tuition will be $40 per year when
paid in advance; when paid otherwise, $50 per

All students who pursue the course of study
prescribed, and comply with the regulations of
the University otherwise, upon passing a salts
factory examination, will receive the degree of
LIB; and upon motion, may be admitted TO
the bar of the supreme Court of the District of
Columbia.
While in Howard University no discrimination
growing out of color, sect, or race is tolerated,
the Faculty of this Department emphasize the
fact that The time bas come when young colored
men should avail themselves OF the best opportu-
mites and advantages for professional study, par
ticnlarly that of the law. And they would sug-
gest that of all places in our country Washington
city the capital of the nation, furnishes for the
study OF the law in its science and practice the
amplest facilities, tits here that Congress holds
its sittings, the Supreme Court of the United
States and other courts of IL national and local
character administer justice; and it is here that
The young men of the nation may see our great
lawyers and statesmen, and witness their efforts
in the courts and halls of the legislation and
here, too may be found the finest legal libraries
of the country.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING IN THE
STATE JoURNAL.-A few Sundays ago a
gentleman lost gold watch. In the sue
ceeding Mondays issue of the STATE
JOURNAL, he advertised his loss, and of
fered $40 reward for the recovery of his
time-piece. A day or two ago, colored
man, who resides two miles in the country,
restored the watch to its owner, having
found it in the road. He had seen the adj
vertisement in the JOURNAL, and like the
honest man that he is, Immediately sought
out the owner of the watch; and, notwith-
standing the reward offered was subse-
quently increased to double the amount
first offered, the colored gentleman refused
to accept more than the sum first mention
ed in our paper.
. We mention this, among scores of SINH
lar incidents, to show to the public what
important and desirable results surely flow
from judicious advertising, which costs so
small a sum, in comparison, as not to be
considered at all.
