Spanish Revolution Regarded a.
Imminent.

The news from Spain, as it is reported in
our Madrid dispatches to-day, is of very
serious character. 1t would be alarming for
the cause of good government and public tran
quillty in the kingdom, and, perhaps, for the
peace Of Europe also, were it not for the fact
that the political system of that portion of the
Iberian Peninsula has lapsed to such condi-
ton of Generalization that the intelligence
which is sent forth from it is of the most
chameleon-like character, changing it's hue
according to every breath of the party
canardists and for their interests. We hear
to-day that general rising of the Carlists
against Amadeus crown is imminent, and that
His Majesty is fully determined to meet it.
Preparations have been made for the instant
transportation of troops through the country,
and the railways have been subordinated to
the use of government. The Council of Minis
ters was assembled in session in Madrid, and
remained IN continuous sitting from Saturday

Our Spring Trade-The Index OF the
Herald.

Sixty-six and half columns Of advertise
ments Such was the magnificent figure
reached by the HERALD Of yesterday Sixty
six and half columns, not swelled out with
corporation or government advertisements,
but filed with short, sharp, crisp, ringing
sentences, in which New York spoke to New
York, earnestly proclaiming its wants and
urgently offering its services. We do not
think we exaggerate when we say that so
grand show was never before made by q
daily journal. 1t is a fresh HERALD triumph.
This enormous pressure on our advertising
columns is suggestive and instructive. 1t is
only few days since we had occasion to CON-
ment on the backwardness of the weather and
of the spring trade. At least a month or six
weeks had been lost. We predicted a rush of
business if good weather steadily set in. The
good weather has come the summer sun
smiles upon us; the rivers and canals have
burst their icy barriers in our great stores
and warehouses feverous activity has taken the
place of dulness, and it will not be wonderful
if few active weeks do more than make COM
pensation for the losses of the first weeks of
the spring season. Our sixty-six and half
columns of advertisements furnish abundant
proof that in the latter half Of April, 1872,
the trade pulse Of New York beats with I'M
paralleled steadiness and with unprecedented
vipor

WHAT WILL BECOME OF MEXICO This
question attains a most pressing significance
for the people of the United States by reason
of the facts which are stated in our despatch
from Matamoros to-day. Military men have re-
VOTED against General Cortina and attempted
to assassinate him. He was defended by his
adherents in arms. A bloody fight ensued
and several persons were killed on both

THE INDIAN TERRITORY SLAUGHTER, which
brought SO wildly forward the insecurity of
life in that country and the disregard Of
law by the white desperadoes who infest it,
has awakened the authorities to sense
Of their duty. Two companies Of infantry
have been ordered to reoccupy Fort Gibson,
which was abandoned some time since
by orders Of General Pope. 1t is to
be hoped that the advent Of the
troops will be followed by the driving out of
the ssborder ruffians" and the preven-
ton of such massacres as that at
Talaquah. The bringing to prompt justice
of the perpetrators of this murderous
outrage on the officers of the law should be
more feasible with Uncle Sam boys close at
hand. There is no later news from the scene
Of the tragedy.

PROPOSED UNIFORM POSTAL LAW FOR
EURopE.-Prince Bismarck's energy is untir-
ing. Now that peace reigns Europe and peace
full relations between the different countries Of
the Continent is pretty well assured, the Ger
man Chancellor contemplates the accomplish
ment OF measure which cannot fail, if sue
cessful, to prove Of immense public good.
Impressed with the excellent working Of the
law by which telegraphic communication all
over the Continent is regulated, by reason Of
its Uniform rates and regularity in the trans
mission of messages, Bismarck aims to have
the mails arranged on the same PLAN A cir
cular has been issued at Berlin to the different
European nations, and we believe the United
States has also been communicated with, to
send delegates to the German capital to con-
slider the postal reforms, which will be the
object of the convention. If uniformity OF
tariff rates and regularity in the forwarding Of
letters can be attained a great advantage will
be secured, and the evils which now attend the
carrying, delivery, and, in some cases excessive
charges Of the mails be entirely abolished.

WITHDRAWING Brigham Young's DAM
ties.

The Salt Lake agent of the Associated Press
in his dispatches last week reported-as every
sensible person might have anticipated
there was great excitement in that city over
the decision of the Supreme Court, and that
the police had acted with brutality towards an
''apostate," one Joseph Silver that the same
men had threatened to ''cut the hearts out of
several persons, Of whom the Press Agent was
one. Half dozen Of the slack Mormons,"
and two or three others who were invited by
Brigham to take seats at his recent convention,
telegraphed yesterday that 'there has been no
excitement over the decision of the United
States Supreme Court" ''as all citizens here
know that the aim Of the Press Agent is to
create excitement, or to make it appear to
exist, to provoke Congressional action"
Whenever there is trouble in Utah this class
of men are always certain to rise to the sur
face, in haste to render the man of patronage
their best services. But the nation and Con-
Rress have got used to this whitewashing. and
it fails to serve the ends of the despot of
Utah.
With people so intensely fanatical and 80
blindly devoted to their leaders as the Nor
mons have shown themselves to be it would
have been passing strange if they had not been
exalted over the news OF decision that virtu-
ally liberated their Prophet from the hands Of
United States Marshal who for months held
him in charge to answer for the crimes of
lasciviousness and murder When to that
too, was added the liberation of one Of Brig
hams counsellors- Wells, the President of all
the Apostles-Hyde, half dozen other lead
ing and prominent men, and when that dec-
sion also permitted to come out of their hid
ing places Major General Burton, the oldest
son Of the Prophet, and the desperate leader
of the Danites, Porter Rockwell, it would in
deed be singular if there were no excitement.
The Mormon community is in no manner
responsible for the threats and intimidations
of the DANTE police of Salt Lake City, but the
very fact that the press agent gives the names
of the parties hreatened-himself included-is
q pretty good evidence that the threats were
uttered, and the statement of those white
washing gentry that the Press Agent was in i'll

DOM PEDRO, OF BRAZIL, AT HOME IN RIO
A HERALD letter from Rio Janeiro, under date
of the I'd of April, has been specially tele-
graphed to us through the cable from London
and appears in our columns to-day. The
writer announces the arrival of the Emperor,
Dom Pedro, and the Empress of Brazil, with
the Duke Of SAKE, in the Brazilian capital,

Congressional and other leaders of the party
has deferred the meeting of his National Com
mittee till the 9th of May, in order to encour-
age as far as possible the formation of this
new party at Cincinnati. He Thinks no doubt
that, as a third party, it may possibly turn the
Presidential scale in favor of the democratic
candidate, as Birney, with his third party,
did in 1874, and as Fillmore did in 1856 A
Presidential ticket from Cincinnati with even
one democrat upon it will not answer; for it
will be bargain and sale too transparent to
attract any outside supporters but the half
dozen republican implacables such as Brown
Schurz and Scovel A ticket, on the other
hand, for President and Vice President from
Cincinnati chosen from the republican bolt
ers will be quietly shelved by Mr.. Belmont
and his committee in call for their regular
National Convention. The democratic
managers, in our Judgment have not the
remotest idea of accepting the Cincinnati
ticket, nor the remotest expectation of a
ticket from that quarter which they
can accept. They are doing all they
can do to bring into the field third
party which will draw its forces from the
administration ranks. We think we are
perfectly safe in the prediction that on
the 9th of May Mr.. Belmont and his commit
tee will issue their call for their national party
Convention and for the appointment of dele
gates thereto from all the States, and that this
Convention, in order to maintain the party
organization intact will nominate demo-
cratic ticket on a new departure, ignoring the
Cincinnati Convention.
There is no alternative offered the democrats
which does not involve the dissolution of
their party. General Grant is stronger than
the politicians everywhere. We have a letter
from Pennsylvania which, in defining the
position of Colonel Forney, shows that even
division of the republicans upon State poll
tics and local rings will not affect the popular
strength of Grant. An attempt therefore, to
merge the democratic party in boiling repub-
ican party would probably carry over to Grant
half the democrats Of the country before the
end Of the battle. This danger will be avoided
in the nomination Of regular democratic
ticket in due season. With this event, should
there be ticket from Cincinnati before the
country, it will disappear like the Cleveland
ticket of Fremont and Cochrane, or, from de-
ficiencies in recruits, ammunition and
transportation, it will be reduced to a feeble
guerilla warfare of as little consequence in any
State as that of the labor reformers and tenn
perance party in New Hampshire and Connec-
ticut.

Congress and the Consequential DAM

Congress and the Consequential DAM
The reception at Washington Of our counter
case to the Geneva Tribunal will herald
renewal OF activity in the question of the
unfortunate Washington Treaty The coun-
ter case will be laid before Congress
tomorrow, and the chairman Of the Foreign
Affairs Committee Of the House believes that
his branch Of the Legislative department would
two-thirds majority if a question arose
on its merits. With Charles Sumner in
the Senate to back the supporters of the
administration on this point, we can easily
calculate that, SO long as the State Depart
ment stands by the colors it has SO honorably
carried thus far, the Senatorial body would
give the same or a larger majority
on the question. 1t is matter,
above all, which would outleap party lines
and gain the support of the greater number of
the democratic members in both houses,
as much from honest patriotism as from
the determined tone of large majority
of their constituents. AS the old clog
in the treaty becomes more firmly fixed,
specific nostrums to remove it may be ex-
pected to be plentifully prescribed. The
latest Of these-a solemn agreement
on England's part-not to demand,
in case Of future war, any consequent
tial damages for Alabamic acts com
mitted by American citizens is capital way
of asking England how she would like to mt
herself in our place on the matter. 1t is to be
feared that there is cool irony in the propo-
sition.

NATIONAL PEACE REUNION.

we are happy to say that the National
Peace Reunion at Louisville, KY, on the 11th
and 10Th proximo, promises to be large and
enthusiastic gathering. The meeting will be
under the auspices of Committee of Citizens,
who have extended cordial invitation to the
Liberal Republicans and Democrats of the
whole country, of the North, the South, the
East and the West, to be present upon the
occasion. The Committee say in their report:
"The war terminated in the triumph of national
"unity and the clangor of arms should have
" "subsded, the sword shOuldhave been sheathed,'
"and the people permitted to resume the
"habits and pursuits of peace; they are tired
"of blood and carnage and battle, and yearn
"for a restoration of civil government, and an
"abrogation of the hateful violence of mill
"tary rulep Kentucky, therefore, always
loyal yet ever striving to allay the passions
of disunion, now invites her sister States,
without regard to sectional feelings, TO share
her hospitality and to celebrate within her
borders the dawn of brighter day. She feels
how wicked a thing it is, for party purposes,
to attempt to keep at war .. people longing
for peace.n It strikes US that the L6nisville
Committee have in these few words, touched
the exact point. The orators and the newspapers
in the interests of the Administration are moth
ing If not military. "reminiscences of the war are
their stock n-trade-the mouths of the first
and the columns of the other are full Of ap-
peals to the sentiments which, however timely
while hOstilities were flagrant, are now mis-
chievous anachronisms. 1t is proposed to re-
elect a President not because he has won any
laurels by his civil services, but because he
was a successful soldier during the civil war;
He is the war candidate now, though the war
has been so long over The Louisville Con-
yention will be Peace Convention in the
best sense of the word, real fraternal re-
union, from which the most pacific results may
be anticipated.
The National Peace Reunion will be held on
the 18th aud 18th of September, and its motto
will be, "United we Stand, Divided we Fall"
The National Industrial Exposition VIII
open in Louisville on the 3d OF Sep
tember, and will continue for thirty
five days. We are informed that rail-
ways and steamboats, having terminal lines
in Louisville will carry passengers at reduced
rates during the month and as this Is the
peasantest for travel of the year, we antlel-
pate noble gathering of citizens OF all parts
of the country on the occasion.

nuP SrATE NOMINATIONS.

,uvocuv three weeks tho Conventions OF
the Liberal Republican and Democratic par
ties will meet at Syracuse, to select the oGaoe
.oLo, which the friends Of Reform IN New
Vork exnect to elect. We have nothing to
saw about candidates, but something very posi-
tva obout what their character should be.
Tbe Svracnse ticket must be one which the
friends of Reform can support with enthusi-
osr, This is not a movement for driving one
marty out of power and putting another IN.
The State Of Now-York was carried last an
Inv no party power, but solely by the popular
resolve to vote against thieves, and IN favor
of the best men attainable for pushing on the
work of political Reform. 1t Will be carried
by the same resolve, to the same END, this
Fall If the Liberal movement does not mean
that for New-Y York. it means nothing. MAKE
that meaning so clear that there can be no
mistaking it, and the election of the Syracuse
ticket will be as certain as the coming OF
election day.
The Convention at Cincinnati surprised even
its most earnest promoters by the breadth and
earnestness of the Liberal Republican move
ment throughout the Country which it
devcloDed. The Convention at Syracuse
most hopeful of our people by the brcadth
and earnestness of the Liberal RepuD-
Hcan movement throughout tho Empire
State, which it develops. 1t will hnd'
cooperating cordially with it on common
nlafform of the highest and best Republican
nr,nciples. under the lead of the men who
| made the Reform triumph last Fall possible,
q Convention of the great party which car
ried New-York at the last Guber-
material election. That these two
| Conventions VIII represent the earnestness,
tbe enthusiasm, and the numbers that compel
success no careful student of our State
noljtjcs for one moment doubts. Let them
present ticket that fairly embodies the
popular aspiration for Reform, and fifty rep
resents Ncw-Yorls share in the great National
movement to that end, and they have organ
lied victory. But the names they give us must
! command the respect of the whole State. They
must mean craftsmanship, not partisan trickery.
They must give assurance of pure administra-
ton. of capacity beyond cavil, honesty that no
man ever questioned, fidelity to every public
| trust in the past as the guaranty for trust
greater than New-YOrk has ever before conhded
to victors in any State election. Some names
that mean all this have been mentioned;-
others may be. Let us have choice that
shall make its meaning as clear as does the
name of Buckalew i'll Pennsylvania, or OF
| Hendricks in Indiana. And let it be distinctly
| understood that only thereby can that Reform
support be assured without which our success
| is impossible.

SETTLING SETTLE.

Judce Thomas Settle has been making
speech at Grant jubllation meeting over the
victory in North Carolina which defeated him,
Thomas Settle. We observe that he complains
of The TRIBUNE for having said that he drew
his full salary for twelve months as Minister
IN Peru. but never left the country. Will
further inform them," he says, that L did go
I" to Peru, and only drew my salary for the
" time was in the service" From members
of the Foreign Relations Committee we had
received different statement. Judge Settles
neiehbors in North Carolina had likewise writ
ten TO ia to declare that he drew the salary but
never performed the service. Judge Settle
saws he did. We have been unable to find
any record of his departure, of bis return, or
Of his service while abroad. Under these cir
cumstances, in the absence OF any Official
data. whom are we to believe Clearly,
Judge Settle, if he is credible person. AS to
that, Let us see. The question of his service
in Peru is of the slightest possible conse-
ouence. but it is of some interest to know
how many falsehoods a Grant ratification
orator can crowd into an hours talk.
Here is the second sentence OF his speech:
The new party which has not as yet been able to name
declared that as went III
so would 90 the Union in November. Believing this, 1t
has made most desperate fight better one than 1t Will
ever be able to make again"
The Liberal party here referred to never
claimed anything Of the sort. 1t uniformly
held that it would be able to do far better for
Greeley in November than for Merrimon in
August; and Judge Settle himself must know
plenty of prominent Republicans who felt
bound, on accoun of local issues, to support
Caldwell, and are now as active in support Of
Greeley.
Here are the next sentences:
at fought however under black flag. observing none
OF the rules OF honorable political warfare Tammany
furnished money without stint and omlssaries skilled In
all the arts of manipulating registration books, ballot
boxes, and election returns"
The plain object of this reference to Tam
many is to imply that the men who robbed
New-York City are now engaged in furnishing
money TO promote Liberal and Reform
triumph in North Carolina. Judge Settles
hearers may not have known, but he did
know, that the Tammany he referred to is
disrupted and destroyed that the men who
broke it up, who are prosecuting its thieves,
and through whose aid alone the Reform vic
tory of last Autumn was won in this city and
State. are now at the head of tho roorRan.
