New YORK, May ga telegram from
Madrid says the following is the state Of
the crisis in the Cabinet: On presentation
OF the budget it was discovered that 20, OO0,-
600 piastres had been taken from the colo
NAL and used in the internal service. 1t
transpired that it had really been used in a
police and spy system. The result of the
expenditures which Sagosta was forced to
display were facts which compromise every
person OF prominence connected with the
Spanish Government. Serraus is said to
be engaged in plot to place Rey, the son
OF ex-Queen Isabella, on the throne. Gas
tenar is complicated in a conspiracy to seize
all the coin in the bank of Spain, while King
Amadeus is distrustful of all his advisers,
and is asking his fathers advice about the
expediency Of calling in Prussian aid.

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-A positive dec
laration of the position Of the Hon. George
II. Pendleton has been reported by men
Der of the Illinois delegation, and it can
be stated that he unequivocally advocates
the acceptance of Mr.. Greeley by the Dem
ocratic Convention. Mr.. Pendleton con-
siders that the Democratic party has been
placed in position by tacit adherence to
the Cincinnati Convention, whereby all
chances of electiDg Democratic ticket
have been destroyed. He therefore faVors
the acceptance of Greeley, and says that
between Grant aud Greeley there can be
no hesitation as to the duty of Democrats.
In considering the objections raised to
Greeley as to his past record, he argues that
they are ridiculous, and he asks whether
the same objections will not apply to all
the Radicals named at Cincinnati. It
is not the past which is to be taken into ac-
count, but the future conduct of the candi-
date designated to represent the Liberal
movement. If an understandable record
is desired, Straightforward Democrat should
have been advocated from the beginning;
but he says that it is not consistent to
lndorse one Radical and refuse to support
another. The opposition to Greeley is
placed, be says, in two classes; first those
