Tho War in Spain.

The civil war in Spain is still conducted
with great violence, we might say ferocity, at
certain points of the national domain. This
fact is made painfully patent by the contents
of the HERALD special report from Malaga
and the news details from the capital and
other municipal centres, which we publish in
our columns to-day. Radical instruction and
royalism remain armed against the democracy
Of the Madrid Republic. The contending
forces of the republicans and radicals have
been engaged in street conflict at Malaga
during a space of two days. Spanish army
regulars operated against Spanish ultras
hastily armed. Barbados were thrown up in
the streets. The sanctuary of the Church
was defled in several instances with blood.
One hundred and sixty persons were killed.
The German naval officer took the steamer
Vigilante to Gibraltar, and there surrendered
her to the Spanish Consul. The vessel has
thus been brought to a secure retreat at a
point which will remain forever memorable
in the history of Spain. The police action of
the Prussians will serve to recall in painful
contrast the diminished power of Spain from
the moment when, in the month Of Septem-
Der, 1882 the Spaniards assailed the fortress
of Gibraltar with their floating batteries and
were driven off only by the greatest exertion
of British gallantry and skill. The Carlists
are still campaigning according to their idea
Of strategy, so that We may repeat that Spain
remains in very unhappy condition, inter-
naly and externally. President Salmeron
and the members Of his Cabinet have entered
into correspondence with the Valencia insur-
gents. The Ministry hope to conquer the
movement, and should certainly have the
option of going about the work in the manner
which they deem best.

ALMOST A RAILROAD HOLOCAUST,

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 20, 1873.
The Niagara Fails train of the Erie Railway came
into collision with passenger train on the Bunalo,
New York and Philadelphia Railroad, about seven
O'Clock this evening at Clinton street crossings,
ABOUT two miles out OF the city, Two persons, Mrs.
Doolev OF Elmira, and Mrs. Pierce, OF Buffalo, are
supposed to be fatally injured. Some ten or twelve
others were injured but not seriously.
The escape from death OF the passengers on the
Buralo, New York and Philadelphia train was mira
culous. The Erie train struck the rear end OF the
hind passenger coach OF the other train, knocking
the end of and throwing the car or the track. The
injuries to the passengers were caused by the roll
ing over OF the car.
Each road throws the blame Of the accident ON
the other. An investigation by the authorities
here only can determine where the fault lies Most
OF the injured passengers proceeded with the train
Those seriously hurt were brought to Buffalo and
received medical aid

The ONO DEMOCRATIC ORGAN the Cincin-
matt Enquirer, seems to be in a quandary. In
the same column and in the same article it says
the Hamilton county democrats who were in
duced to endorse the Allen county 'newest
new departure movement and the Convention
Of the Brinkerhoff liberal republicans, to be
held to-day in Columbus, are astonished to
find that the movement is being laid hold
of by partisans Of Grant and Noyes, in order
to perpetuate the rule of the corruptionists-
that is to say, that they have been wofully
cheated and humbugged- at the same
time this organ Of the Ohio democracy sug-
gests that the aforesaid Convention has 'just
one duty, and that is to adjourn over for con-
sultation with that other Convention-the
regular democratic-which meets a week
later" This looks little like utilization,
after ALL At any rate it savors of coquettish
disposition.

Wanted-A City Prison.

At the last session of the Legislature provi-
sion was made for the building of new
prison in this city. The Mayor, the Comp
troller and the President of the Board of
Aldermen were placed in charge of this much
desired establishment. The Tombs having
proved inadequate for the wants of the city,
something larger and better located was sug-
gested. The Comptroller, after careful in
vestigation of the question, makes ON exhaus-
tive report, in which he alludes to proposed
sites and the necessities which should govern
the action of the Commission. He SAYS that
Bellevue Hospita is entirely out of the ques-
ton, as it is necessary, according to the best
authorities, for its present sanitary purposes
AS this is the principal place urged for new
location the opinion of Mr.. Green may be con-
sidered as definite in regard to its eligibility
Many interesting facts affecting our criminal
records are contained in this report In one year
nearly eighty-four thousand arrests were made,
from which q rich harvest was ''winnowed"
for the City Prison. Objection is made, and
not without reason, to geographically CEN
trail location for the new Jail The population
below Central Park and the arrests as shown
on the police returns are the more numerous
and the central point for prison must be 80
considered. We pass over the questions of
convenience in respect to contiguity to the City
Hall as of minor importance, for they can be
easily disposed of by glance at the actual
necessities of the city in criminal matters.
Mr.. Green thinks that an area of ground three
times larger than the Tombs is necessary for
the new jail. We trust that no mistaken ideas
of economy will influence the Commissioners
in the prosecution of this much needed work.
There is much said for and against the sani-
tary condition Of the Tombs, but strong au-
thorities may be brought to settle the question.
1t is, however, entirely too small for the needs
Of city like ouzs. and no labor Oh expense

The body at the pier, with the children
playing in sight of it, is moving picture,
Suggesting many thoughts of life and death-of
hope in full fow-of hope cut short this side
OF the grave. 1t may have been murder, it
may have been what men term accident that
brought that body heaving and falling and
swinging with the tide; but the Coroner had
too much 'luck' that day to ask or search out
whose hope in life it was that had been so cut
short or how or when it had been done. This
is something to ponder over with indignation
when the information comes that another

The CABLE CELEBRATION AT HEARTS Con-
TENT, given on Monday in honor Of the
seventh anniversary Of the opening of tele-
graphic communication with Europe, may
have been very enjoyable to those present;
but, in order that it might have been shared
in enthusiastically by the public at large, one
pleasurable item should have been added to
the programme. This might have been in the
shape Of placard worded about as follows:-
Hereafter the company's charges will be

blessing to the public on both sides of the
Atlantic. Paltry advantage of busy season

The ONO AND VIRGINIA STATE CONVENTIONS
To-DAY.-This day will furnish somewhat
interesting point in the political history of the
above named States. In Ohio another effort
will be made to force o second ''new de-
parture' of the democracy, who, acting con-
Jointly with the liberal republicans, expect to
start an entirely new party formed of all the
odds and ends of all the old parties. together
with whatever new timber may be gathered
from the natural growth of the Young Hickory
democracy of the country In Virginia the
republicans will test their strength by nomi-
mating suitable candidate for Governor, one
who will represent the interests of the national
administration. In both these State Conven-
tons it is expected harmony will prevail,
inasmuch as, just at this juncture, there is
very little to be done or said that can be relied
upon as basis for action in future great party
trials.

If THE BOARD OF HEALTH WIN APPLAUSE for
their exertions it will be because of action.
Resolutions are very good as legal prelude
to work; but the work of abolishing the
nuisances must be performed before anything
is counted to them. They will be supported
by the community in following out what they
have undertaken. But the reports of the SAM
tary Inspectors at yesterdays meeting of the
Board show what "child's play the work
accomplished is compared to what yet requires

GRoEsBEcK's LETTER AND THE 'SrocK-
HoLDERs'' OF THE ONO DEMooRACY re-
gard to Mr.. Groesbeck's letter on political
topics the Cincinnati Enquirer afirms that
''there are many democrats who, like Mr..
Groasbeck, would willingly act with their old
brethren and with some new ones under .
new name, recognizing the fact that it is not
the name. but the thing, that is important.
But the stockholders vote No on this ques-
tlon' and this, we insist, is an important fact
The democratic soldiers have right, and we
believe they are wise in exercising it. to fight
the new battles under the old flag. Mr..
Groesbeck will be found fighting with them"
This is but slight comfort for the Brinkerhoff
liberal republicans and Pugh or Allen county
democrats who propose to assemble in general
convention or mass meeting at Columbus
to-day.

The French Legislative Session Pro-
r0gucd.

rogucd.
President MacMahon forwarded yesterday
message to the National Assembly of France
proroguing the session of the legislative body.
The chief of the executive is bold and manly
in his expression and patriotic and peaceful
in his resolve. He pledges himself personally
to the Parliament for the preservation Of peace
in the nation during the recess; seemingly
grave undertaking, but q grand and noble
duty. He refers to the happy results which
have ensued and will continue from the main
tenance of accord between the Ministry and
the Assembly. Here the soldier does full
justice to the good intentions of the aged
statesman who preceded him in power.
He proceeds to impress on the minds
Of the people the necessity which
exists for the fostering Of good feeling at
home, the preservation Of friendly relations
with foreign countries, and the steady cult
walton of the blessing of industrial progress.
The advent Of the day of final liberation from
German military domination is referred to
in words of moderation and sound advice
''Noisy manifestations Of joy over the event
should not be INDUCED in" This is really
elegant sentiment. France regenerated to
democratic freedom, and remaining solemn,
devout and hopeful at the moment of
her confirmation, will afford a spectacle
worthy of the admiration of the world.
No doubt France will observe the pre-
cept of the Chief of State. She is engaged
in perfecting her commercial treaties with
Great Britain and Belgium and when France
puts her milliens of people to profitable work
the sorrows Of the German invasion will soon
be obliterated from her heart, even if many of
the scars of the foreign sabres should still
remain.

The VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,
which meets at Lynchburg to-day, as will be
seen by our special dispatches elsewhere,
promised to be anything but harmonious
gathering. Two candidates were put forward
for the gubernatorial nomination, Hughes and
Mcmahon; but at a caucus meeting last night
it was decided that the latter should give way
to Hughes, whose nomination by reclamation
he is to move at the proper moment when the
Convention is in session. This is hard on

The Character OF the Herald Corr
spondence on the Shah.

spOndencc Oh the shah.
To write fair letter. one as close to truth
and justice as language will permit, is the
most difficult art of the journalist, however
honorable may be his intentions. Without
fear or favor to discuss his friends or foes,
his idols or his eye-sores in the cool phraseol-
ogy of the Bench, is result seldom achieved
in the broad guild of journalism. The reason
for our statement of this fact is plain, and
we will illustrate what we mean by recurring
to our correspondence on the Shah In Eng
land the Persian Prince has been deftly tinted
in rose-colored hues; he has been painted in
the language Of adulation alone; and, whether
from enthusiasm for the theme or tinctured
with that morbid worship for pomp with
which the average Englishman always seems
pregnant, the British writer's have exhausted
the last drop of parasitical flattery. The Shah
to them is demi-god, Persia flower gardtn
and Teheran favored capital Turning to
the French critics, whose chief literary quail
ties consist in ingenious fabrications, joined
to bon mot, the Shah is simply spangled
joke, buffoon with big diamonds and many
wives. The HERALD believes in neither of
these extremes Of silly alteration and BELT
ting caricature, because neither repre-
sents the truth. We can congratulate our
readers, however, on having found writer's
who can dispose Of the Shah and
kindred subjects in keen dashes
of the pen, exhibiting a serious and
profound philosophy. MIR. Granville Muir
rays letter is stamped with the seal Of
the diplomat journalist, a man who has
been in other apartments than the throne
room of palaces who has seen other docu-
ments than formal parchments, who has other
views of men and princes than those found in
the Almanach de Gotta and the Blue Books of
the Foreign Secretaries He paints the Shah
as a fitful child fond of petty amusements,
nimble-toed ballet girls and big toys-the wit
less tool of cunning Ministers and the slave of
q brutal, vindictive nature and after speak
ing of him as he was and is, he very pointedly
asks what is to be the result of this European
trip. He does not grow big with war, and
Immediately find a dozen fresh alliances for

courts and aristocracy, as the Israelites did
for the feshpots of Egypt These weak
minded and vain people-and they are not few
in number-become demoralized, lose their
republican ideas and worship crowns, coro-
nets and titles by going abroad or by aping
aristocracy at home. There are some of our
crotchety citizens who would prefer q
monarchy to republic. Such ore found in
most of our large Eastern cities and in the
South. There was always certain aristocratic
element Of that kind in the Southern States,
of which General Mosby who nominated the
President for third term, is type. True,
the mass of the people in all sections are
republican at heart, but they are inclined to
be apathetic and to doubt the possibility OF
the Republic ever being destroyed. The poet
has said:-
III fares the land, to Fastening ills a prev,
Where wealth accumuates and men decay.
There is undoubtedly moral decadence
in the people with the growth of wealth
here. This may lead to absolute indiffer-
ence and Indifference to usurpation
of power. In q large portion Of the
Union the political superstructure is based
on ignorance and permeated with corruption
Negro and carpet-bag rule have made the
South an easy prey to usurpation. Party poll
tical machinery is SO inexorable throughout
the whole country that the people have ceased
in a measure to think for themselves, and
might be too ready to yield their liberties to
designing and plausible leaders. The war
and the widespread corruption that grew from
and followed it have demoralized the public
mind Wearied and Disguised the people are
more disposed than they used to be to let things
take their course, to live on with q sort OF
apathetic hope rather than act. Who
will say that under such circumstances
C@sarism is not possible if the politi-
cal power Of the country should be prolonged
in one man or faction? The time has come
when this matter calls for serious thought and
when the people should be warned of the
danger that is looming up on our political
horizon.

HEROES OUT OF PLACE.-Well, we have
heard from Generals Jordan and Varona about
the command in chief of the Cuban patriot
forces. Now will somebody tell us how many
OF these Cuban generals are drawing large
monthly salaries for sporting about New York
How much do these patriots spend for the
cause Of Cuba? How long have they been
spending? What are their names2 More prof
table will it be to decide these questions than
to continue the senseless chickering's and petty
quarrels of the Junta. Cuba wants harmony
and sacrifice from her sons Free Cuba wants
no ornamental generals, and can get along
without exposing her sores TO the American
public. Verb sap.

The LAST JERSEY HoRRoR.-The frightful
whose body was found floating in the Hudson
River, has an aspect revolving enough to make
even those shudder who have become habitu-
ated to deeds of violence in this era of murder
The girl, judging from the testimony given al
the Coroners inquest, went out boating with
some negroes, and her body, bearing all the
appearances of outrage and murder, was after
wards picked up in the river. The surenes'
