THE BOURBONs IN SPAIN.-The insur-
rection Of the Carlists against the Co
vernment at Madrid, though matter Of
such frequent recurrence and invuriable
failure as to have passed into tho cate
cory OF Insignificant events. seems this
year to have acquired moro than ordi-
nary Importance. The number of in
surgents under the banner of Don Car
los is stated at 10000, and their opera.
tions extend through several of the
provinces bortlered by tho Pyrenees and
the Bay Of Biscay. To give flash of
patriotic force to the movement, Don
Carlos is said to have taken the field ac.
companied by his wife, who will share
his fortunes. The young Bourbon is
described rs person of great physical
force, of some political ability, but def
cient in education. He believes, with
an entire conviction which is rare among
men OF his age, that he is an instrument
In the hands of Heaven to re-establish
The Bourbons in the peninsula. He is
followed by men thoroughly devoted,
and was formerly attended by some of
the best military and political talent in
the kingdom, though the best of these
are now r4,ad or in retirement. The
history O. this matter may be briefly
traced as follows: Ferdinand VII, OF
Spain, by q decree in 1880, abolished
the Snlic law, and so made his daughter
eligible to the throne. and deprived his
younger brother Charles, who would
have been Charles V, of his right of snc-
cession. This brought on the Carlist
wars. Isabella came to the throne in
1643; and in 1915, Don Carlos renounced
his rights in favor of his son, the Count
of Montemolin, who died in 1861, and
who would have been Charles vi. he
had son. Jean Charles, born in 1922,
who, in turn, renounced his pretensions
in 1868 in favor OF his son Charles, born
in 1913. Jean. Charles would have been
Charles VII, and his son, now twenty
four years of age, would apparently be
Charles VIII. The last named it is who
is now proclaimed King of Spain, under
the title OF Charles VII, and with the
encouraging war cry of death to the
Liberals" slogan which shows that
the estimable Bourbons still live, learn
ing nothing and forgetting nothing. 1t
was in 1872, GOO years ago, that Robert
and beatrice Of Bourbon were married,
and this ancient family was established,
and in these six centuries they have lost
more kingdoms and gained fewer ideas
than any house that has ever existed in
the annals of timo.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.-Rsports, orr
ginating in the correspondence Of the
London Telegraph, have for several days
past given rise to serious apprehensions
OF trouble between France und Cor
many. The cause OF the rumored COM
plioations seemed to arise from the pro-
crossing re-establishment of the French
army, rumored intention on the part
Of Franco to repudiate the balance of
the indemnity due to Germany, and the
undisguised and not unnatural animosity
OF the French people for their Toutonio
conquerors. Diplomatic correspondence
is known to have occurred, and it was
asserted that Prince Bismarck perempto-
rily notified President Thiers that unless
the lnilitary preparations referred to were
discontinued, an invasion OF France by
German troops would ensue. Although
these rumors were ridiculed both in
London and Paris, the Telegraph reite-
rated them, and was sustained by the
Augsburg Zsitung, which professed to
know that the purpose and policy Of
Bismarck had been correctly presented
by the Telegraph. Later cable de-
spatches, coming indirectly from Berlin,
again danied the rumors, however, stat
ing that instead of sending menace to
President Theirs, the German Premier
really sent him fartering note, in
which he said lie was convinced that
peace was secured between the two ma.
tions as long as the present Executive of
Franco remained in power. at the same
time complaining of the distrust of Ger
many's good intentions by the people Of
France. The general tone OF the Ger
man press is, Of course, hostile to any
policy which may hastily relieve France
OF her sense OF responsibility for the
pledges made at the peace settlement,
and for the sake of security, under the
existing state of feeling, it is not unliko-
ly German troops will occupy French
territory rather longer than was antici-
pated. Such course would in itself be
O continuation of the "menaco" to which
tho French have been compelled to sub
init all along, and would not necessarily
alter the situation. It is, however,
noteworthy fact, that President Theirs,
apparently with view to avoid exaspe-
rating exhibitions OF French temper, ro-
quested the Assembly, on the 23d inst,
to defer tho discussion of the army bill,
and the Assembly, while seeming to be
less affected by the situation than their
Executive, have had tho prudence to de-
fer debate. Mt least. upon the bill, which
was recently quietly passed to it's first
reading.

Tax ON tho -.Buslnesa'' of Ministers
OF Christ.


It has been decided by the s'authori-
ties" that ministers of the Gospel. too,
must take out o license from the State,
under the infamous license law. IF that
doesn't cap the climax of literally infer
nal legislation, we ore at loss to know
what would. Every minister OF the Cos.
pei who does not seonre commission
from Scott G. Go. subjects himself to six
months incarceration in the penitentia-
ry. The beauties of reconstruction un-
der Giants rule are many, but no fea-
ture Of it has yet been more striking
than this. The State Government Of
South Carolina is determined to have
most, at oil hazards, and by any pro-
cesses, however shameful or ruinous.
There will be raised this year by taxa
tion near $1,000. 600. which is just ten
times as much as was required to run
the State Government before the war,
when there was over twice as much tax
able property in the State as now.
'S5, 600, 900, moreover, was tho entire
public debt Of the State at the time the
Radicals took possession of the Stats.
Half the rate OF taxation which now
is imposed would, in 1860, have paid the
entire public debt Of the State, and
more than betrayed the expenses OF the
Government besides. $40. 900, 900 have
been added to tho public debt since No
vember. 1870. although tax of over
90, ,50O,0 900 was collected last year for
State and County purposes.

The NORTM Pole EXpEDITIoN-NEws
FROM THE PoLARIs AT DIsco.-A letter
from Newfoundland gives intelligence OF
the United States Arctic exploring expo-
dition, under Captain Hall, received by
the Danish brig Meerbek, from Disco,
Greenland. On February %. the ex.
ploring steamer Polsris put into Disco
for fresh provisions. On the 9Th of that
month, she had encountered heavy wen.
thcr, and run upon ice snags on the
peaks OF iccbergs imbedded in sand or
mud. The Polaris was so damaged that
she was only kept aloat by the united
cxertions Of all lands at the pumps, and
when she reached Disco, the company
were 80 exhausted that another day at
sea must have compelled them to aban-
don the vessel The log of the Polaris
contained many strange discoveries,
which led to the conviction that in the
extreme nnd undiscovered North there is
at times genial atmosphere aud open
seas. Plants wore detected in the ice

mates, and tho examination of floating
stick OF wood, found on SATURDAY., Janu-
ary 13. proved it to be limb of some
huge birch. The most important clue
to tho existence Of polar passage is the
fact Of the crew of tho Polaris having
seen, followed and killed whale having
in one of its fms harpoon similar to
those used in the South Pacific; and this
happened in a region where, as Captain
Hall says. "the sail of an American or
European vessel had never been given to
the wind before" In May, Capt Hall

POLITICAL.
VIRGINIA..

R1cHMoND, Va, Nov. 9.-In ninety counties
and cities heard from, the most of them official
y, Grant has overcome Walkers majority Of
1869, and he now leads Greeley 10, ,025 votes.
The remaining counties gave Walker 404 majori-
ty. It is now almost certain that Grant will
carry the State BY about 1000.
Official returns received to-day from
some Of the counties in the Fifth Dis
trict materially change the aspect OF the
result in reference to the election OF Thomas,
Republican, for Congress-, in that district, and it
is almost certainly ascertained that his oppo-
nent, Davis, Democrat, will be elected by two
or three hundred majority.
Further returns from the First District insure
the election Of Sener, Republican, for Congress,
over Bra1ton, by small majority.
The Congressional delegation will, therefore,
stand i've Democrats and four Republicans.

prominent insurance agent yesterday after
noon and obtained from him the subioined in,

prevailing ignorance of the fraternity at the
present time.
Reporter-What will be the effect of the Bos.
ton ire upon insurance companies?
insurance Agent-The effect upon the compa.
MES outside Of Boston will not be as bad as the
Chlcago ire occasioned. The city companies, ot
course, are in as bad fix as our Chicago com.
panies we're. All tho Boston companies OWE
real estate in the city, and the policy-holders
cam cannot realize anything from that, their build.
R.-Are the English companies interested
largely there?
E&A-Thoy are the fayorites next to the local
companies. After them come the New England
companies, especially those in Hartford and
providence; then the Philadelphia companies,
and lastly the New York companies. The New
fork companies will come out better than any
others doing business in Boston.
E.-Do any of the Chicago companies do busi-
ness there?
II. A.-There is but one-the Traders. L saw
Mr. hoe1le, the AGENT this morning, but he WIS
not prepared to say how much in risks they had.
R.-Are many Of the Boston companies inter-
ested in Chicago?

Exchange are heavily interested here.

NEW YoRH, Nov. l0.-The Spectator, insurance
newspaper, in summing up the losses by the
fire in Boston, gives the following facts:
The Firemen's Fund Company, Of San Fran
sa siseo lose soG 7sooo the Aps Of New York
Exchange, $4,000; Citizens, 10000; the
Star Insurance Company will not exhaust it's
surplus; the Arctic loses S75, 900 /; the Phoenix,
Of Brooklyn, loses, $450, 600; the Manhattan, Of
this city, 53o, ,oo0 the Resolute, 914, 900; the
North British and Mercantile, a year ago, had
nearly six million risks in Boston. The CONNER
cial, Of this city, will not exhaust its
surplus. The Germania, Hanover, and Republic
Companies will continue their business. The
Howard Company has no losses. The Spectator
says the disaster to the Insurance Companies
does not warrant any great apprebensions being
felt as to its consequences. The majority OF the
risks are believed to be in local companies, and
the aggregate is distributed among very large
number 2! Of Offices. The majority OF the New
York and other companies outside OF Boston
will withstand the shock. Including the COM
panies doing business In Boston, OF other
