all the characteristics a . penny balloon.
This, however, canzSt be considered sur
prising, inasmuch = conceit is always
prominent feature in the composition Of
self-constituted and self-elected organs
''of the people"
1nasmuch, however, as it does us no
harm, and seems to crafty the Pic, to
cultivate the delusion that its opinions are
of sonic weight, we announce its position
in political affairs, as asserted by itself, in
this way: The Pic has no political pref
erences. If it can win with Grant as
against Warmoth, why it is decidedly in
favor of the former, and coalition of all
the elements which can advance that pur-
pose. And vice versa with >Warmoth if
he is found to be the most available. The
Picayve speaks of another prominent
politician whose strength it has duly esti-
mated, and considers weighty. This is
Satan. He is the special object Of the
Picayue's adherence, an old enemy, per-
haps, and his election should be defeated
at every hazard. In the hurry with which
the Picayune's article was prepared, it
omits to tell us the Office for which the
gentleman in black" is candidate.
Doubtless, however, it is the Presidency.
If this be the case, the Picagune must
permit us to doubt, so far as it is
concerned, the wisdom of the choice
it has made. A paper with the peculiar
characteristics which the Pic possesses
would thrive under an administration in
which Old Nick was the leader. 1t might
be possible for Grant or Warmoth to re-
gard it with aversion, but its prominent
and endearing traits would at once enlist
the esteem of the devil. If, for instance,
there was any doubt of its being reliable
medium through which his satanic ma
jesty could illuminate his ideas and theo-
ries of government indeed the oc-
casion arose in which it was necessary to
blacken personal character, defame the
dead and SANDER the living, when, in
short, it became time to indulge in publ
cations wherein truth formed no ingredi-
ent, and vituperation and calumny, like a
well-invented tale, went abroad among
the people. the Picayune could proudly
gather up its March and February files,
and even those O.. April, and say, like the
mother of the Grachii when pointing to
her children, these are my je,cels! There
is no truth here!
1t is, therefore, in the sincere belief
that the Picayune should modify its pref
erences that We make these suggestions.
We like to see our neighbors do well, and
we are persuaded that under such an ad-
ministration our calico neighbor would
become power in the land.

reform which the public have given great
prominence to, and insist are essential to
the preservation Of the State, found their
first advocate and most efficient champion
in the Governor. This state Of things
necessarily breeds confusion, which is not
little enhanced in view of the probable
fact that the Cincinnati convention will
confer upon the present attitude of the
State administration it's hearty indorse-
ment Identified thoroughly with the
Liberal Republican movement, how can
the Democrats and Reformers help sup
porting it? 1t meets all the purposes
they have in view. Identity of principle
and concert of opinion leave no room for
difference. Under these circumstances,
we can perceive no object the young De-
mocracy have to contend for outside of the
Liberal Republican movement.

King Of Spain. He has made . faithful
and loyal record SO far. doing no harm
to his enemies and much good to his
friends He has given Spain the best
government she has had for years,
and, if allowed to continue in undis-
turbed possession of the throne, will
still further advance the interests of his
adopted country. He has had no party,
but has at all times been willing to act
with any adviser who proposed to further
the interests of the kingdom. All the
passions and the hates of the old par
tisans of Isabella and Don Carlos have
been depressed by Amadeus, because he
felt the injuries and ambitions of neither.
In him both factions found friend when
they chose to meet him as their SOW
ereign. Even the Republicans have had
no cause to complain of the King in his
high Office, except that he was a King.
Their orators and their printing Offices
have been just as free to characterize the
policy of the government as if republic
had been in existence; and some Of their
partisans have been appointed to Office.
If there had been President in Spain
they could not have had greater freedom,
and if there had been such President as
they have in France it is very doubtful if
they would have been as free. As the re-
bellion, then, is only in the interest OF one
of the old breed of Kings, it is sincerely
to be trusted that the reigning monarch
will prevail, since he is liberal and just,
and, therefore, next best to President.

SPANISH REVOLUTION,

Amadeus, King Of Spain, declares his in
tention to fight for the throne that was
given to him by the Spaniards. AS he did
not obtain it by any effort of his own, so
he is not disposed to lose it without having
done some act to forfeit his rights AS the
Spaniards made him King, SO he intends,
if possible, to make them keep him for a
King. The patriots who threw up their
hats at bis accession to the crown will lose
their heads if they now attempt to cast
their ruler out, for Amadeus has declared
that he will deal sternly with the rebellion
that seeks to make him the plaything of
an hour. As between himself and Don
Carlos, our sympathies are with the young

The school teachers, who are so anxious
about the funding bill, might look in an
other direction than to the State House for
relief. The men who are attempting by
every means in their power to defeat or
defer the collection of the taxes are doing
the greatest injury to the schools, as they
are doing great injury in every other in
terest. How do the teachers expect to be
paid if the school tax is not collected !?
How do the poor expect their children to
be educated if the money is not forthcom-
ing to pay the expenses? These school
teachers who ask for certificates of indebt-
edness to be funded into interest bearing
bonds will find their bonds of little value
if they do not help us to crush out this
mad scheme of resisting the tax that pro-
vides for their payment. Are they capa-
BILE Of figuring out the relation that taxes
bear to the value of their certificates or
bonds?

A DIPLOMATIC STROKE.

Secretary Fish was urged by the chair
man of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, last Friday, to withdraw the de-
mand for consequential damages which the
United States has filed before the Geneva
arbitration in the matter of the Alabama
claims. In this the Secretary was right
as diplomatist, but wrong as a moralist,
for, be it known, there is difference be-
tween what nations may do and what they
ought to do. The intercourse of States is
very much like the intercourse of men,
full of shams and stratagems. A horse
jockey, to take familiar illustration, will
not say directly that he wants to sell an
animal he is dissatisfied with, nor will he
state the price until he has felt his Gus
toner. Landed proprietors tell of the
advantages of their estates, and. what a
source of revenue they are, while they
are more than anxious to get rid of them.
And their asking price is far above their
selling price. This is individual diplomacy.
Foreign ministers conduct the negotiations
of great state affairs in much the same
way. They measure their opponents, put
forth bats, practice stratagems, claim
more than they expect to insist upon, and
after laborious convention and conflict
of wits, come to some settlement that can
be taken advantage Of if it is not salts
factory.
Our Secretary of State has not studied
diplomacy to his disadvantage. He has
learned how to put point with the best of
the Britishers, who pride themselves on de-
handing damages when they are perfectly
willing to pay ransom money. The claim
for consequential damages in the matter of
the Alabama claims was not put forward,
says Mr.. Fish, to be withdrawn by the
American government at the first hint of
its indefensibiGty. It is not to be with
drawn at all. The arbitrators can disallow
it, and that will settle the matter. In the
meantime the political world can discuss
the principle Of the thing. Are nations or
individuals to be held responsible only for
the evil they do directly, or are they to
pay the endless injuries that crowd upon
disaster? Mr.. Fish might have made a
precise demand of just what he intended
to have. This would have been highly
moral proceeding, but it would not have
been diplomatic John Bulls eyes would
have been sorely- puzzled at such inno-
cence, and he would have counted us
weak, and set about figuring up counter
claim that might have given trouble. AS
it was, we took the starch out Of him at
the first dash by demanding such sum
IS Great Britain fairly staggered at. And
besides, we talked of war, and pointed to
our soldiers and our sailors fresh from the
greatest contest of the age. England fell
% counting our bill instead of her own,
md thus we are in fair way to escape an
mpudent demand. Mr.. Fish deserves
'redit for his diplomacy. AS for his |
morality, We can say more about that |
vhen we see what he consents to take

The '.young Democracy" of whom
there are several juvenile aspi1ants for
gubernatorial honors, have about concluded
that public sentiment has not been worked
up to due appreciation of their merits.
The sound doctrines of reform, of which
the Liberal Republicans are now the most
trustworthy opponents, have left them
nothing out Of which to make an issue be-
fore the people. Heretofore, persistent
abuse of the present executive has been
used as chief weapon, but the bad laws
which they ascribed to his influence, it
now turns out, were opposed by him, and
originated among the friends of these self
same Democrats. The good measures of

upheld by the stalwart arm of her lover.
