Spain, by Special Telegram.

BY special telegram from Madrid, forwarded
to London and thence through the Atlantic
cable, we are enabled to continue orr report
of the exciting events which have just tran
spred in Spain. Our telegraph letter, pub
lished to-day, is dated on the 30th Of Decem-
ber. The correspondent relates the scene
which attended the landing of King Amadeus;
hisreception by Topete and other high officers
his first festive entertainment Of his new sub
jects on board the frigate Numancia, with his
initial step en- route for the capital Then we
have additional matter relative to Prims as
sassination and death Again we are told of
his widow and his orphan SON. the honored
wards of high-souled people and the tender
charge of q very gallant nation. The
duty Of Spain towards the Sefora
Prim and her child is, as will be seen
from our special advces, being discharged
nobly. Prim really died on the very altar Of
his country his family shall not look to the
shrine for consolation in vain. Our dispatches
speak, further on, Of city gloom and the exist
eace of a popularity nervous alarm. Soldiers
feared. The volunteers were being disarmed
There were thus seen among the Madrilenos
joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, poverty and
uncertainty as to the future-very poor in
gradients, indeed, to present to the hands of a
statesman for the purpose of enabling him to
regenerate Latin race country, and to elevate
the inhabitants of sell which has been here
toIore shaken by the charges of foreign con-
tending armies and the roar of the fire of
Albuera, Talavera, Badajoz and Barossa.
We must hope for the best for Spain, however.
This is good deal more than some of her own
children do, as will be noticed from the words
Of the reply which was given by the Director
General of Tslegraphs to our special writer,
who wished to give the wires plenty of work
at gold charges.

snliEafl0n.

s0liaatlOn.
We have very interesting and important
telegram letter from Berlin. 1t reached us
yesterday evening through the Atlantic cable
by way of London. The united nation of Ger
many is rapidly consolidating under the pru-
dent, far-seeing diplomacy Of Bismarck. By
his recent able circular addressed to the
Austrian Cabinet, at the hands Of Baron
Buest, he has really neutralized any feeling Of
hostility which may have still fingered in the
minds of the statesmen of the apostolic
empire towards the North German Confedera-
ton. He attracts Bavaria and Wurtemberg
at the very moment when he destroys their
power for future revolt. Prussia has matured
charter of government for the conquered
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. The inha-
bitants are to enjoy the benefits OF federation,
with the advantages Of local self rule-a Cabi-
net, Parliament and judiciary. The subjugat
ed French will stand much higher in the rank
of European citizens the very day after the
war closes than do the people of Ireland to-
day, after five centuries of British rule and
English reform. The war draft is pressing
heavily on the Prussians. Melancholy scenes
are witnessed in Berlin daily as the new levies
march to the front. Indeed, it is quite appa-
rent that Bismarck is determined that no
obstacle, no feeling or consideration, shall
stand in his way towards the illumination" of
his ''trophies" of battle.

A CONGRESSIONAL DEBATING CLUB.-The
House OF Representatives yesterday resolved
itself into a debating club in which one
member told all that he knew, which was
not much, abont the ''Heathen Chinee" and
an Arkansas man raked up the stories of re-
publican election frauds in the Bowie Knife
State We doubt whether any other national
legislature ever commits the absurdity OF
setting apart whole days, in which no public
business is to be transacted but which to
be exclusively used for the purpose of giving
the lesser lights of the body an opportunity Of
airing their ideas and Of rehearsing written
speeches on miscellaneous subjects not coz
nected with pending legislation. Such an
eccentricity is peculiar to the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and would, perhaps, be unknown
even there If it were not for the existence OF
the Congressional Gl26e, in which all these
essays find resting place. The older and
more experienced members, however, rather
encourage the plan, because il relieves them
on ordinary occasions from he dagger of hav-
ing such speeches inflicted upon the House
10 the delay of public business. The Congress
sional Debating Club has, therefor, its use.

Nh. TWEED has been led into an interview
his fifty thousand dollar charity He doesn't
like to have the matter discussed in the
papers. He says they generally abuse him
to the proportion of column for every hum
dred people he relieves. and he is conse-
quently overwhelmed by it. As for political
capital, he certainly did not intend to make
political capital out OF charity at all. He has
political capital enough without charity. In
fact, Mr.. Tweed has enough of everything
worldly goods, political power and personal
proportions-and he beeveth, with st. Paul,
that without charity it'profiteth him nothing

A JUST CLAIM UPON CoNGREss-The claim
of William B. West, late Unted States Consul
at Dublin, for indemnity for extra expenses
incurred in consequence Of the Fenian pro-
ceedings in Ireland from 1865 to April,
1869 These Fenian troubles brought upon
Consul West an immense and costly corre-
spondence, requiring the employment Of vice
clerks to copy the numerous letters which it
was his duty to place on file. Mr. Vests
memorial and his vouchers make out claim
a small claim-which Congress, we think, can
not deny with any show of justice or upon any
pretence Of economy; nor can we suppose that
there will be any objection to the payment of
this little bill.

TIE FAIR FOR THE UNION HOME AND
SCHOOL for the soldiers and sailors orphans
closed last evening. 1t has not been pecu-
mary success, netting, so far as heard from,
little over eight thousand dollars. The rattle
for the grand prizes is yet to come of, and it
may add few thousands more to the sum
total. This fair has been the one Of all others
that appealed to all our people, without.rega
to sect, nationality or politics, and the cause
OF its i'll success is mystery. 1t remains
now for our patriotic citizens to retrieve the
bad fortune of the bazaar by Literally sub
scribing to the grand prize distribution.

VICE PRESIDENT CoLFAx thinks the demo-
cratic victories down South augur well for the
republican party in 1872, because they have pro-
duced Ku Klux outrages and negro massacres,
and so warned the true men Of the country
what disaster democratic Presidential vic
tory in 1872 wonld be. This may serve very
well for 1872; but surely the republican party
doesn't expect to live on such negative
virtues" as massacred darkies forever Vice
Presiden. Colfax may like ii very well, but it
can't be very satisfactory to the darkies.

siblc that serious trouble may arise in italy in
connection with the Pope and the transference
Of the capital from Florence to Rome The
Eastern question may take serious shape.
Germany herself may become divided about
the terms of peace and the apportioning of the
spoils. The London Conference, intended to
heal division, may involve Europe in war. With
the Alabama claims unsettled, with Fenians
burning for revenge in England, with millions
of Catholics in all lands painting for an oppor-
tunity to make another crusade-with all these
combustible forces more or less directly affect
ing Europe who shall say how long this Ger
man occupation Of France will last or how it
will end?
Whether the occupation be long or short it
ought to be source of qualification to us, on
this free and rich and hourly ydeveloping
American soil, that war, with all its horrors,
is not likely soon to give us other sorrow or
other concern than that which belongs to the
mere spectator. All that we can hope for is
that order may soon grow out of this confu-
sion, and that this latest and most destructive
war may prove gain to liberty and genuine
progress the wide world over.

THE TEHUANTEPEC SHIP CANAL.-The act
of the Mexican Congress authorizing the con-
struction Of the Tehuantepec Canal, from the
Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Of Mexico, has
become law The provisions are generous
enough, especially to Mexicans and those who
are willing to become Mexicans in order to
enjoy the Income that the project offers to secure
them. The conditions required from the COM
pany are not exacting The government is
content to give them the full profits of the
canal for niaety nine years, requiring no tax
or contribution in return, and, we presume
making no forced loans whatever upon it
capital After the ninety -aine years, however,
the whole concern becomes the property of
the government, which modest requirement
certainly cannot seriously affect any of the
present stockholders. In fact, there is only
one objection to the concession which Mexico
SO generously makes, and that is an objection
to the Tehuantepec Canal itself. 1t won't
hold water.

NapOleOD's New Year.

New Year dawned on his Majesty Napoleon
the Third in his castle prison at Wihelmsh0he.
Judged by historical contrast and In the light
Of political retrospect, it was very
sad one for him when compared with
the morning of the like anniversary of 1859,
when, standing in the Palace of the
Tuileries, he alarmed Europe and heralded
the war with Austria by his sudden announce
ment to Baron Hubner that 'our relations with
Austria are not so friendly as formerly" Taken
in the acceptation of religious disciplinary
modification, Bonaparte may have been far
happier few days since than he was at the
first mentioned period Of his power or arro-
gance. He appeared in excellent health on
the lst of January which has just closed. He
was greeted at early morn by the voices Of
few tried and trusty friends. The priest was
on the altar and mass was celebrated. There
reception. His chamberlain (Bassano) was in
complete state attire. An elegant lady princess
Muskowa) stood by his side. Bazaine called
and few other companions dropped in
Science came to aid in the work of his conso-
lation. kilograms were received from ''all
parts of the world by the royal captive, in
which were spoken words of congratulate on
for the preservation of his health and aspira-
tons of hope for the future. His Majesty
thinks that Paris will eventually vindicate
France. Eugene is expected from England.
The Emperor does not entertain a very
exalted opinion of the volunteer army
levies of Prussia. He is, indeed, rather
uncharitable' in his anticipation of evils to
inure to German society from the effect of
camp demoralizations In this respect we
fear that Napoleon adheres more and more
to the unforgiving spirit of his uncle, and does
not at all incline to profit from the lessons of
charity which are just afforded him by the ac-
ton Of King William towards the personal eae-
mics Of the head of the French s'dynasty" in
Belgium. In Wihelmshohe the Emperor of
France repeats the old military motto of
memo me 5npataae lacess1."
