The .virginins Affair Assuming a
Phase Favorable TO Spain,

WARRINGTON, Dec. 21.-1t has been
known Tor some days that the Spanish
Government has furnished evidence with
regard TO the Virginius and her claim to
bear the flag oil the United States, and
that the President submitted the evidence
to the Attorney General for his opinion
thereon. It seems now to.be understood
in official circles that the Attorney Gen.
eral has given as his opinion that the yes.
sel had forfeited her right TO bear the
flag OF the United States, and at the time
Of her capture was carrying it without
the right and improperly. In view OF this
opinion our Government will, in accord
ance with the terms Of the protocol, in
stitute inquiry and adopt proceedings
against the Virginius and against any
person who may appear 10 have been
guilty Of illegal acts in connection there.
with: s.-ssrir sr
As Spain has proved to the satisfaction
Of the United States, according to the At,
torney Generals opinion, that the vir-
gihius was, at the time Of her capture,
carrying the United States flag without
right and improperly, the salute to the
flag on the 25th day Of December will be
dispensed with as now not reqnirable, but
the United States will expect disclaimer
ol intent Of indignity to Its flag in the act
which was committed. From proofsub-
mitted by Spain 1t appears that the clear
ance papers of the Virginius were ex-
planned by perjury.

The Organization of the Jacob De.
mocracy at Charleston.

Our special dispatch from the "Perma-
ueut Seat this morning gives us to un-
1ers,snd that the so.cslled Jacob Demo
Gratis have held o council OF war and de-
rermined to carry on the fight which the
Governor has been making against the
Bourbon wingSoi the party. If this Is
true, the regulars will not have the field
90 much to themselves next fall In the
election Of the Legislature that Is to elect
the next U. s. Senator as they recently
supposed. This will be bad news for the
CAMDEN men, and for the retainers Of
brother FAULKNER and the rest Of the
orthodox aspirants. Governor JACOB has
shown himself to be man whom the
Bourbon Democracy can not put down,
and 1t Is now an even chance II he does
not put them down. They undertook 10
massacre him in cold blood at Parkers-
burg in 1872, because he would not be the
creature and tool Of WALKER & Co., but
they found that instead Of killing him of
he rose in his might aad utterly irustrat-
ed their conspiracy. a-
Not being able to defeat his election
they undertook to tie his hands in pretty
much the same way that Congress tied
ANDY JoHNsoN's hands, by divesting his
office Of It's executive functions and TAX
ing away his patronage. And yet with
bis hands tied he continued the contest
with them and seems as little disposed as
ever to give up the contest. He is de.
termined not to- be subjugated by the
ring that has undertaken TO vscate his
office by assigning its prerogatives to the
Attorney General Of the State, And now
that their session at Charleston Is ended
be gives them to understand that he has
not been killed of but will again appeal
his case to the people as against the
doings Of the ring:
