RELATIONS WITH SPA1N-The Washington
Republican of this morning conspicuously pub
fishes the following article:
''On Saturday last GeH. Daniel E. Sickles,
our Minister to Spain, sailed for Madrid via
London. 1t is well understood that the relations
between this country and Spain have, for some
time past, been of the most unsatisfactory char
acter, and that our diplomatic correspondence
has failed to settle the many vexatious ques-
tons in controversy between the two nations.
The adoption by the House Of Representatives,
on Friday last, of the resolution that the Presl-
dent should promptly demand the upcondition-
al release of DR.. John Emilio Houard and the
restoration of his property, which has been
confscated to the use of the Spanish Govern
mcnt, is construed as requiring the President to
exercise his authority in presenting the demand
without delay. From the evidence now in pos
session of the government it does appear that
DR.. Houard is an American citizen, and that
the conduct of the Spanish Government has
been such as to inspire dissatisfaction on our
part. Minister Siokles is therefore instructed
on his arrival at Madrid to demand his pass
ports, and to notify the Spanish Government,
that until it is prepared to strictly fulfill all OBJ
legation, friendly relations between the United
States and Spain must cease. "

ALLOWANCES FOR ALEXANDRIA COUNTY
1t is said that the Supervisors of the county al
low the Attorney for the Commonwealth for
the county $500, and the Clerk Of the County
Court $500 out of the county levy, without
the same having been allowed by the judge of
the County Court as required by law. These
levies on the people of the little strip of land
known a, 'Cooney' are excessive and oppres-
siye. The allowance for the Attorney for the
Commonwealth for this city is only $500 year,
while his duties for single term are more la
borious than those of the County Attorney for
whole year. The great county Of Loudoun
paws the Attorney about 5000, and the Clerk
$500, for public services. The county of Fair
fax pays the Attorney and Clerk respectively
$500 and 5000 Is it not strange that the lit
tie county of "Cooney'' should pay nearly twice
as much for its officers? Before the war the
Attorney for the Commonwealth for the city
and county received only $500. Let us have
light, and let some one be held responsible for
this Radical imposition. "CooNEY."

SPEcULATING IN WHEAT..-We have not
heard of direct sales by the farmers or of pur-
chases by any of our millers of the growing crop
of wheat, but there has been little "skrmish.
ing" within a few weeks past. We have
heard farmers feeling their way with the re-
mark that they would, they believed, contract
now, if $1.75 could be had; and wise, wary
milers think, that, probably, ifany one would
contract now, for August delivery, of prime
wheat, they would close at $3.50. Buying or
selling at present is lottery. A game of faro
would be mild gambling in comparison with
buying or selling wheat at this early day
