THE telegraph informs us that our
relations with Spain promise unpleasant
complications If not serious results
Aside from the pending difficulty over
the conduct of the Spanish officials
towards the American vessel Hornet,
now at Port-au-Prince, the authorities
at Madrid have had their attention
called, through Minister Sickles, to the
promises made to this government more
than year ago to the effect that if the
United States would not recognize the
Cuban insurgents Spain would accord
to the Cubans the same privileges and
immunties that were granted the in.

This promise, made, it is remembered
by General Prim to Minister Sick,es

fire, the same authority makes the SEN
sible suggestion that, wherever it is
practicable, artificial breaks in the CON
tinuity of forests should be made, and
that as far as possible, the cleared
spaces should be brought under cult
walton. This would serve as an aid in
stopping the progress Of great conAagra-
tons, and would doubtless be effective
excep. in cases Of extraordinary sever

ADvIcEs from Washington say thai
several prominent political associates
of Secretary Boutwell, have now under
discussion the subject OF his nomina-
ton as the republican candidate for the
presidency in the place of Grant. Re-
garding the propriety of this move
ment, while Boutwell, remains in the
cabinet, there have been earnest con-
situations, and the results indicate that
this fact will not be considered an OBJ
stacle of any importance, though so far
as the secretary himself is concerned,
it appears that he has given no open
assurances Of a Willingness TO resign
the views he has entertained about the
improperly Of opposing Grant in the
next presidential race to the demand of
the politicians, who consider that to
be proper movement.

The United States have been hon
ored several times by the presence of
royal European visitors. The announce
ment of these visits has always been
followed by the airing of our repub-
lican principles by the press. The visit
Of the Grand Duke Alexis, lately ar
rived on our shores, has been the occa-
sion for the usual display to an unusual
degree. The preparations made by the
citizens of New York for the reception
of the grand duke have been loudly
condemned as SO much toadyism and
snobbery. The managers of the
ball to be given in honor Of the duke
have been called Aunkeys and the love-
ly ladies who expect to shine there in
lovely toilets have been sneered at as
though they we're traitors to their coun-
try and female plotters against repub-
licanism. The cavilers at the prepare
tons made by New Workers all want
due honor paid to the grand duke. He
should be heartily welcomed and hos
pitably entertained, but no move should
be made inconsistent with republican
institutions or democratic simplicity.
How is this to be done? The sticklers
for republican simplicity should be more
definite in their expression Of what they
conceive to be proper reception and
treatment of the grand duke. If they
believe that Mr.. Grant should make a
simple visit to Mr.. Alexis, give him a
hearty but by all means democratic
shake of the hand, ask him how his
parents are, invite him to take smoke
aud then bid him good day with anoth
er democratic hand.shake, they SHOULD
say SO. The fact is, great deal o
false sentiment obtains among US as I
people. In all the preparations made
for the reception Of the Russian duk
there is nothing to conflict with Amer
