cable despatch which we print this morn
ing has it that King Amadeus has signed q
decree providing for the gradual abolition of
slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico. We should
have called this news good had we not been so
often deceived by similar reports. This same
peated and has so often proved snare that
we almost feel vexed for Amadeus. The
young man means well, but if he had known
better be would not have lent himself to an
old and worn out deception. 1t is now thirty
five years ago since Great Britain at an i'm
mense cost wiped out slavery, and it is fair to
say that Spain from that time until now has
been continually making promises and con-
tinually breaking them. Away from Turkey,
there is now 10 European State blamable for
the perpetuation of the slave trade but Spain.
We have fought the fight and washed our
hands. The one European State claiming to
belong to civilization whose hands are not
yet clean is Spain. Spain, in fact, has been
blot on the map of the Old World and the
bad element in the life of the New. Blot
Spain out from the map Of the world, and
what we call European civilization is fairly
respectable. We cannot blame Amadeus for
what he has done. His youth and inexperience
in his new circumstances must be his excuse
but Spain in the Old World and the New, and
in spite Of the sacred memories of Ferdinand
and Isabella, of Charles the Fifth and Philip
the Second, of Cardinal Ximenes and the Holy
Inquisition, must be voted nuisance. All
that the world knows of Spain the world is
desirous to be rid of, and the radiance cannot
come too soon. The Spanish republic
promised to make an end of slavery. The
Spanish republic led Let Amadeus be-
ware. He must not lend himself to Spanish
deception.

THE OYSTER TRADE.-Few Of us think, as we
swallow our Saddle Rocks, East Rivers or
Shrewsburys, of the great aggregate value of
the oyster trade of New York. The value of
these bivalvular luxuries handled in our mar
kets annually is from twenty-five to thirty
million dollars Most Of this trade is concen-
trated about the foot of Spring street, which
location the Commissioners of Docks have
directed to be vacated. The dealers protest
that to crowd them up the river above Four
teenth street, as is proposed. would be great
hardship and occasion serious loss

Professor william L. Montague, Professor Of
Modern Languages in Amherst College, is passing

The DEMOCRACY or THIS CRY on local Affairs,
according TO all accounts, are split up into
cliques and factions to on extent never known
before, and never were the politicians SO per-
picked in their efforts to estimate the chances
of Tom, Dick and Harry in our next municipal
election There are too many captains and
too many cooks, and confusion reigns SUI

The BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Mayor Hall said in
the Board Of fApportionmcnt, on Thursday, that,
after an examination Of the subject, he found
tho city authorities are allowed no discretion
in the matter Of furnishing funds to the East
River Bridge Company Whether or not the
directors of that corporation use the money
judiciously or honestly, they are legally entitled
to 1t, and the city is bound to furnish it. In this
view of the case the Comptroller was directed
to raise one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for this purpose. Every citizen is glad to see
this grand work 60 OH and impatient for its
carly completion, but it seems as though the
city, in consideration Of its large contribution,
should have some voice as to whether the
money shall be thrown into the river or pru-
6enHy expended

The CENsus-Nor ENOUGH GIRLs TO Go

census returns of the United States for 1870
give us these startling statistics Of our popnla-
tion:-

Women and girls. s...............,......i ig oSi' 500
Surplus OF men and boys................ 42s, $50
surplus of 42S, 1853 men and boys is some
thing really startling when it is considered
that Adam and Eve, one man and one woman
is tho law of the creation. But as in the
chapter of accidents there are more fatalities
among boys than girls, and more widows than
widowers, and moro old maids than old
bachelors, our surplus Of men and boys is in
the infanile, and not in the adult population.

in property or doing business in the lower part

worthy Of the name.
Comparing curiously with this startling rec
ord of success we may turn to the abandon
ment of the English expedition, the reasons
for which will be found in the communication
to the London Times, written by the Rev.
Charles New. It's misfortune was that il came
on the ''heel Of the hunt" and was only ready
to start when Mr.. Stanley arrived at the coast.
There would also seem to have been too many
Richmonds in the feld-a thing to be de-
plored when prompt action is demanded.
The way in which the chiefs Of the
English search corps went backward and
forward from Bagomoyo to Zanzibar, to con-
suit with each other in one place and with the
sapient DR.. Kirk in the other, suggests the
thought that it was fortunate David Living
stone had not to wait on their arrival for as
sistance. The success of the HERALD Expedi-
ton seems to have given their want Of cohe-
siveness finishing touch ending in thorough
generalization. Even after Stanley's arrival,
we observe, from the Rev. Mr.. News epistle
to the English, that the New YORK HERALD
correspondent found means TO equip and des-
patch native caravan to Livingstone with
stores for his two years further explorations
before the Englishmen had recovered from
their surprise. The compliment Of the rev.
erend gentleman to the determination,
energy, perseverance, tact, pluck and endur-
anco' of the HERALD commander comes, there
fore, with the more force and grace when,
apart from the actual finding Of Livingstone,
