OUR MADRID CORRESPONDENCE, which is
published on another page of the HERALD this
morning, is full In detail and rich in interest
of the late political crisis in Spain. Serrano's 8
attempt to become dictator and his subsequent
retirement from Office placed the King in q
most perplexing situation. 1t was evident to
all that dangerous crisis had been reached
10 make matters worse Sc fIor Zorrilla, it was
understood, had declined to accept the position
from which SeG'.sra mad been forced, and which
Sernno felt compelled to resign. From the
outlook stormy aspect presented itself. The
gravity of the situation became apparent to all.
and not until Zorrila, at the solicitation of his
friends, finally consented to accept the reins of
Office, did the dark clouds Of the gathering
storm pass over. Borne in triumph back to
Madrid, the statesman consented to accept
the difficult situation imposed upon him, and
Immediately set about forming government
to aid Amadeus to discharge his kingly duties
under the oath he had taken to rule Spain ac-
cording to the Spanish constitution.

one OF the most powerful and most efacacious
means of governing the universal church."
This is very plain admission that Jesuitism
is the main support Of the Papacy. There is
not on the face of the earth to-day, he said, a
government that has moral courage enough to
declare itself in favor Of this defender of right
and justice. Plus the Ninth to-day is poor
for the cause OF Jesus Christ. Herejects what
his enemies would offer him, and he will re-
main poor rather than that the Catholic faith
should be imperilled. Hence the necessity for
the faithful next Sunday to make their ..Peter's
pence" into dollars for the sustenance of tho
Roman Pontiff in his unequal contest not with
one, but with all the governments and powers
of Europe. And this was the lesson enforced
by Father Mcdonnell.

Another Day Of Agony for stokes-Con-
tinued Disagreement OF tho Jury.
Another day of painful, racking doubt for
the prisoner Stokes will have passed ere the
long -deliberating jury are called up once more
to say whether they have found verdict At
eleven o'clock yesterday morning Judge In
graham took his seat upon the bench aiId the
jury were brought in. A crowded Court des-
pite the fact of its being the Sabbath, scruti-
nized them as they entered, and as the prisoner
came in, wearied and nervous under the tenta-
tive agony the usual ripple Of whispered
comment was brought to q dead stop by the
voice of the crier Still the jury had not
agreed-no probability, said the foreman, of
their agreeing. Emphatic protest from the
same man to the contrary, the judge not
listening to their difficulties, locked them up
again. A messenger to inform the Judge if
they agreed was kept at hand, and
the Court adjourned Public excitement
ran higher than ever, and speculation
was rife as to the position of the jury in their
disagreement. The most general rumor
seemed to say that large majority were in
favor Of the lighter verdict -manslaughter in
the third degree. Some adhered to the idea
that the majority held out for the death SEN
tence, either story being believed by those
whose views it suited. The prisoner, it ap-
pears, and his immediate friends, felt that
every hour told in his favor. In all such
cases, outside the jury-room, speculation gam
bles curiously with life and death, and, except
very rarely, the sad, central figure of it oil
gains in sympathy of q personal kind The
naked crimeAtself may stand before the public
mind unchanged in its aspect but the most
impatient for prisoners life must pity the
long-drawn mental torture of man waiting
with Enclosed eyes and fevered brain from
sunrise TO sunrise for the two words of liberty
or the one word Of doom. It is one of the
anomalies Of the human mind, but not @ dis
creditable one.

that exist than to fly to others that they
know not Of, we suppose large portion of
capitalists and business men may support Gen.
eral Grant in preference to Mr.. Greeley. But
as was said before, there need not be any ap-
prehension of financial disturbance or decline
of the creditof the government, whichever can
didate may be elected. Indeed, the platform
of the liberal republicans and democrats and
the profession of the candidates of these COM
bined parties promise much more in the way
of economy and revenue reform than we have
reason to expect judging from past expert
ence, from the administration party. Admit
ting that Mr. Greeley has certain vagaries
about financial matters and the tariff, he pub
licly avows his purpose to submit to the will Of
Congress in these matters. With his election,
too. there would be, probably q large number
of revenue reformers returned to Congress, for
revenue reform is one Of the most prominent
issues Of the campaign. Nor should we lose
sight of the fact that the object of this
great combined opposition movement Is to re-
store harmony between the different sections
Of the country and to bury out Of sight the
issues of the war. This of itself would tend
TO promote the material interests Of the repub-
lie, and particularly of the South, and, there
fore, must lead to better financial condition.
If even General Grant should be reelected,
this opposition and bringing the question of
reform 50 prominently before the people
would, in all probability, lead to change in
the policy of his administration. Every way
or any way, the Presidential contest will prove
healthful to the interests of the country, and
there need not be any fear of tho consequences
whether Mr. Greeley or General Grant be
elected in November.

THE BANK ROBBERY IN UxBI1DGr. The
facts Of the entry and robbery Of the Black
stone National Bank, at Uxbridge, Mass, by o
band Of burglars are reported in full detail
by special telegram in the HERALD this morn
ing The operations OF the robbers, their
taking Of the teller of the institution from
his private residence in the night, leading him
to the bank with a halter round his neck,
forcing him to open the safe and to stand
present while they took out, bagged and car
ried off thirteen thousand dollars, 60 far to
show that the spirit Of romance in crime did
not expire with Jack Shepperd and Dick
Turpin. The manner in which the members
Of the family of the bank official, from his
father down 10 little female child, were
gagged and hardcuffed and held in their own
house while the work Of outside violence was
being accomplished, as we'll as the time and
mode Of their release, are extraordinary in the
annals of housebreaking crime, ard will, no
doubt, afford food for many new and inge-
nious theories on the part of the police of the
United States.

light The carelessness, theft and general
forwarded by the British Consulate at
Zanzibar, usually wasted and frittered these
almost entirely away before they had time
to reach him. This cannot be better stated
than in the HERALD commanders words:-
''Your correspondent begs to inform his
friends that the HERALD Expedition found
him turned back from his explorations
when on the eve of being terminated
thoroughly by the very men sent to
him by the British Consulate that the Expe-
dition found him sitting down at Ujiji utterly
destitute, robbed by the very men sent by the
British Consulate at Zanzibar with his cara
van that the HERALD Expedition escorted
him to Unyanyembe only in time to save his
last stock Of goods, for they were rapidly
being made away with by the very men en-
trusted by the British Consulate with the last
lot of goods; that 1t was only by an accident
that your correspondent saw packet OF let
ters addressed to Livingstone, and so, forcSly,
took one Of Livingstone's men to carry the
letters to his employer.
As showing the sloth Of the agents Of
Livingstones English friends, it may be
stated that the HERALD Expedition accom-
plished two thousand and fifty-nine miles of
march in the same time it took the Consular
expedition to traverse five hundred and twenty
five.
A bafled, sick and weary and destitute man
was this great explorer when met and succored
by the HERALD expedition. When he parted
to wend his way back to the Lualaba he was
not in the best of health, yet had no fears for
his life, and bore with him formidable plan
of exploration, which he,Aeped to get over in
eighteen months or at most two years.
This great work of the HERALD, thus mag
nifcently accomplished, forms proud monu-
ment to the enterprise of the independent jour-
nalism of America. AS such it was under
taken, and as such the world bears witness
