wait long rather than accept the original In
Justice of the scheme.
We do not feel at liberty to print the per-
sonal kilograms received last evening from
widely separated points indicating hearty ac-
quiescence in and support of the nominations
made yesterday at Cincinnati. but the sendeIs
will accept our thanks.
The bill to encourage intelligence in Juries,
better known as the Jury bill, has been
signed by the Governor. A person who intel
lgently reads the newspapers is now eligible
to serve on a jury in which a question of life
and death may be pending
| The Soldiers Meeting at Cooper Institute
last night was addressed by several of the
most distinguished among the surviving
friends of Gen. Thomas. The cause they met
to favor was one which appeals to the best
sympathics of soldiers and citizens. The statue
| of a man like Geo. II. Thomas can teach only
lessons of truth and loyal constancy. 1t is
| well that the nation can produce such men,
| and no harm can be done by paying public
| hOnOrs to their memory.
The Memorial DiDlomatique announces the
enforced resignation of Prince Gortschakoff,
and the appointment in his place, as Chancel-
lor of the Empire, of NJ. de Valamief. The
authority is not such as to inspire conf
dence Ever since the marriage of the
Prince there has been powerful

throw, but it will require more trustworthy
medium than the one mentioned to convince

matst and statesman.
Another Rapid Transit bill has gone to the
Governor, the Swain Three-Iier or Metropolitan
Transit scheme having passed the Assembly,
yesterday, by a vote of 70 to 1S. This is the
most formidable undertaking of any yet men
toned. 1t proposes depressed, surface, and
elevated system of roads, all three lines or
tiers being used for transportation of freight
or passengers. The route of the road, which
is to be a double track. is from a point on
Broadway, opposite Bowling green, on the
west side to Canal-st., thence by way of the
Church-st. and Greene-st. lines to the west
side of Sixth-ave., and. with various detiec-
tions and branches, to Harlem River. The en-
terprise may be described as ingenious, daring,
and costly.
The usual discrepancy is seen between the
dispatches which are sent from Madrid under
Government sanction, and those which are
printed in foreign journals and derived from
private sources. The former represent the
Carlists as dispersed and fugitive bands, and
the latter assert that Marshal Serrano has as
much as he can well attend to in the work
of putting down the active instruction in
Navarro. A new and not insignificant
danger also assails the Government from the
other side. 1t is now stated that party of
Republican insurgents have cut the railroad
between Madrid and Cordova, and that armed
bands infest the Sierra Moreno, the scene of
Don Quixotes exhibition of loves melancholy.
There is also an intimatiOn in the Rappcl of
Paris that the Republican members of the
Cortes have resolved upon that policy of resig-
nation which is so fascinating to the Spanish
mind, and seems so utterly useless to us. 1t
is difficult to see how the spectacle of few
dozen Republicans marching out of the Cortes
and leaving the field free to the SagastinOs is
going to strike terror into the official heart.
But this is the Spanish fashion of announcing
a lapse of legal responsibility, and is praeticed
by all parties when they feel they are hope
lessly in the minority, and propose to take adj
vantage of circumstances to right their grew
ances without regard TO the law.
