SPAIN AND PoRTo RIco.-Gen Sick
les telegraphs from Madrid that both
houses of Congress have accepted by
decisive majorities the colonial policy
of the Ministry for Porto Rico. which
involves the separation Of the civil
from the military government and the
extension to Porto Rico of the same
provisional form of government which
exists in Spain, with municipal gov
ernments and town and local officers.
Two of the ministers resigned, and
their successors, who are in accord
with the rest of the ministry and with
Congress, were cordially received by
Congress. The policy of the ministry
is understood to have been opposed
by vote Of6O senators against 6, and
by 2l4 against ~ in the lower house.
Gen. Sickles further telegraphs that
the President of the Council announce
ed that bill for the Immediate en-
ancipation of slavery in Porto Rico
will be speedily introduced.

THE PAlN-kILLER manufactured
by PERRY DAVIS & SON has won
for itself reputation unsurpassed in
medical preparations. THE micersali-
IN of the demand for the Pain-killcr is
a novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history OF this medicine.
The Pain-Killer is now regularly sold
in large and steadily increasing guam
ties, not only to general agents in every
State and Territory of The Union, and
every Province in British America, but

Cuba and other West India Islands {;
to England and Continental Europe {;
to Mozambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar
and other African lands to Australia
and Calcutta, Rangoon and other places
in India. 1t has also been sent 10
China, and we doubt if there is any
foreign port Or any inland city in Afri-
ca or Asia, which is trequen,ed by
American and European missionaries,
travellers or treders, into which The

Ihe extent of its usefulness is anoth
err great feature of this remarkable

of action. In the great cities of Brit
ish Inuia and the West India Islands
and other hot climates. it has become
the standard medicine for all such
complaints, as we'll as dyspepsia, liver
complaints, and other kindred disor-
ders. For coughs and colds, caukcr,
asthma and rheumatic difficulties it has
been pLoved ty this most abundant and
convincing ,r!als and testimony, to be
an invaluable medicine. The proprie.
tors are in possession of letters from
persons Of the highest character and
responsibility, testifyipg in unequivO-
cal terms to the cures effected and the
satisfactory results produced, in an
endless variety of cases by the use of
this great medicine. That the Pain

Sufficient time has elapsed to show
that new experiment in immigration
made by Gen. Henry $. Sanford, form
erly our Minister to Belgium, is an en-
tire success. Immediately after the
war Gen. Sanford purchased some
twenty-five square miles ofland on the
st. Johns river, in Florida, which he
purposed 'levoting to the culture Of
the orange. TO work this large plan
tation, whereon he had laid out Il
grove of one hundred acres with six
teen hundred trees, he at first import
ed a force OF negroes These not
proving entirely satisfactory, he rcsol-
we'd to send to Europe for a colony Of
peasants, engaging to give years
labor for their expenses, and to supply
permanent and steady labor. Accord,
ingly colony of forty-fye Swedes
was secured, consisting of persons
skilled in a variety of handiwork. The
colony prospered so well that Mr..
Sanford sent for second and third
detachment, so that he has now II
working force of nearly a hundred nc
tive, intelligent and Industrious per-
SONS Oh his estate. They like their
work, the climate agrees with them,
and when orange culture is not in or
der they make themselves useful and
profitable as carpenters, tailors, black
smiths, shoemakers and so forth. Gen.
Sanford is to be congratulated upon
the success Of his scheme, which is
deserving, apparently, Of extensive
imitation throughout the country.

Republican Preaching.

Thurlow Weed says: "'rhe best and
truest service that the people can rem
der the country is, first, to elect capable
and enlightened rulers, and then re-
uuire such rulers to fill the "civil ser
vice" with honest men" To which
saying the Republican papers add:
easy to say, but not so easy to carry
out" The Grant papers did not talk
thus Just before the late Presidential
election. Their electioneering decep-
ton is now fast coming to light.
THE Proposition TO RAISE THE
SALARY OF THE PRgsIDENT.-The
Springfield Republican deprecates any
attempt to copy their maiesties Of
Europe in splendor and cost Of living
ut the Executive Mansion; and it
thinks the Republican President should
err on the side of tiugality. rather
than ostentation. 1t adds:
The White House entertainments
are quite costly enough already, so far
as that is concerned; there is a great
sutficienry Of choice wines, plate and
huDkies. No, the salary at present
paid to our Presidents is large enough
to enable them to live in the decent,
simple, hospitable style becoming their
office. 1t is none too large they can
not expect to lay up money. But
this, too, is as it should be. The
Presidency is a political office, and
political offices ought always to be
sought for the honor they confer and
the opportunity for public usefulness
they afford-not for the sake of the
emoluments. If there is to be any
raising of salaries at this time, much
better raise those of the underpaid
judges and non political executive Off
GERS. Much better take this $4,000
and distribute it among the Justices
of the Supreme Court, for instance. 1t
would do them more good than Gen.
Grant, they need it more, and they
have a better claim to it.
