to favor existing institutions and to sanction accom-

that the authority of the Throne can only be re-
stored by the legal hereditary representative Of the
ancient dynasty, the Prince Don Alfonso. And the
Liberal parties in their turn, who would have tri-
umphed at the polls if electoral liberty had existed,
insist that the continual contempt of the Constitu-

IBY TELEGRAPH TO TEE TRIBUYRI
CINCINNATI April 3O.-The Revenue Reform Con-
ference, which adjourned from yesterday, met again
this morning at the st. James Hotel, and continued
the discussion in regard to the Tariff. In the alb
sence of Gov. Cox. David Dudley Field of New
York moved that the Hon. ii. L. Selden of New-York
be selected as Chairman, which was carried. Mr..
Field expressed the belief that the object which WIS
near the hearts of ali on this Convention would be
achieved by an amicable conference upon the sub
ject of Revenue Reform, and by the adoption Of o
clause which would eDuncate the principle, and
leave its particular application to the action of the
people and to the Congress Districts
Col Grosvenor said that for the purpose Of arriv-
ing at satisfactory conclusion, committee of five
of which Mr. David A. Wells would be chairman,
should be appointed to confer with the gentlemen of
the different opinions selected from those adverse
to the views of radical Revenue Reformers. Mr..
David A. Wells thereupon selected as the chair
Of this committee, the other members being
Edward Atkinson, Col Grosvenor Mr. Rittridge of
Cincinnati partner Of Judge Stallo and Z. L. God

substantially covering the points traversed yester

friends of Revenue Reform.
