The News from Spain.

The dispatches from Madrid and Lisbon,
report the latest aspect of the condition of
affairs which prevails in Spain, and, generally,
on the Iberian Peninsula, from the shores of
the Tagus to the palaces and streets Of the
Portuguese capital. The news is of an at
tractive and interesting character Its
found in the account which it presents
of the policy which the Spanish Ministry
of the Republic intends to pursue towards
Cuba and Porto Rico. SeGor Figueras
stated to the United States Minister, in
reply to the American recognition of the
Island Of Cuba as link in the bond of
friendly union which binds her people to
the transatlantic Continent, as q sparkling
gem, in the girdle of fraternal embrace
which will unite the freemen of Spain to the
transatlantic democracy. The Porto Rico
reform bill will be taken up for debate
in the National Assembly to-day Spain
remains uneasy at home. The Communistic
leaven appears to be working towards
the accomplishment of still more
radical change in the national system, politi-
cal and social, before the present movement
has been consolidated. Radicalism is in
clined to run ahead of wholesome reform.
The provincial Spanish peoples have been Sc
riously disturbed at several points. Catalonia,
the cities of Barcelona and Malaga, and some
few other centres, have manifested spirit
Of seditious opposition to the democracy in
power. The Z" stamping out" and discipline of
military repression have been used against the
malcontents. The International walks
abroad, and it is more than apparent that the
secret censors of Old World radicalism have
already condemned very many of the acts of
the Madrid caucus pioneers of the great prin-
ciple of equality and fraternity. The ex-King
Amadeus remains in Lisbon, where his wife,
Maria Victoria, is invalided by serious at
tack Of illness. His father, the King of italy,
has become reconciled to the abdication, so
that it is quite probable the son and parent
will soon meet at the great centre Of charity
and observation-disclosures Portugal is becom-
ing agitated in presence of the events which
have just taken place. King Luis is deter
mined to maintain the peace. The British
fleet in the Tagus has been placed at the SER
vice of Amadeus. The Italian vessels-of-war
had not arrived yesterday.

Why should not the Holy Father decide to
make the New World his home? II is now
many years since kindly invitations were
rendered him from these shores These invita-
tons were given in good faith and from tho
best of motives. We foresaw the fall of the
temporal Power; and it is useless to deny that
since the fall Of the temporal Power the Pope
might as well have his headquarters in New
York or Baltimore as in Rome. His empire is
now purely spiritual. The question is where
the headquarters of this spiritual Power
should be established. In tho interests of
religion it would be well if the seat of spir-
itual authority were far removed from all

The MoDoc PEACE COMMISSIONERS have
arrived in the neighborhood of Captain Jacks
stronghold and organized for business. They
have encountered, however, serious obstacle
IN the protest of the Governor Of Oregon, who
holds that no peace should be made with the
Modocs until those of their number who
murdered eighteen citizens Of his State some
time since are given up to be dealt with
by the civil power, and, further, that as
Lost River is part of the State of Oregon. it
cannot be reserved by the general govern
mcnt for the use of the Modocs. We are in
formed by our special correspondent with the
Commissioners that the Governors protest
was '1aid on the table," but it cannot be al.
lowed to remain there. The rights of the
people Of Oregon must not be trodden upon,

THE NEW YORK HERALD.
From the Shreveport na., Times,

From the Shreveport (La.) TImes.l
Amid the disasters which have fallen upon the
State OF Louisiana, the South, and. indeed, the
entire Union-for what touches the sovereignty of
one of the States touches them although the
recent course OF the administration, there Is one
CLEAN OF light which, like the solitary star to the
lost and benighted wayfaier, tells there is still
hOpe-that, guided by its beams, a haven Of peace
and safety may yet be reached. This beacon is
displayed at the masthead OF that greatest of
newspapers the NEW YORK HERALD. In times
past 1t was charged upon the elder Bennett that
his motives were all mercenary-that every other
consideration was made to yield to the prosperity
OF the HERALD. Whatever of truth there may
have been in these accusations, the inde
pendent course Of the paper under the
management Of the younger Bennett; the fearless
and outspOken manner in which 1t has dealt with
the Louisiana mbroglio, give promise that the
country Is not entirely lost-that true republi
canism has yet an able champion. whose earnest
protest against the wrongs inflicted upon
Southern State, and powerful appeals TO the
nations sense OF justice, cannot pass all unheeded
by the Northern mind although they may avail
nothing for the immediate redemption OF Louisiana.
We repeat 1t is cause Of congratuation to know
that there Is at least journal in the North, and
that leading one, which--unawed by tho frowns
OF the Executive and his parasites and advisers;
uninnuenced by the spells to be won by trucking
and subservient endorsement, such as the New
York Times and kindred sheets stand ever ready
to accord, no matter what the acts they are called
upon to defend-dares to say to General Grant That
he is falsify!ng the pledges made for him by the
HERALD. and that he Is committing grievous
wrong to an unfortunate people by listening to the
suggestions Of men who are prompted by mean hate
and who recognize featy only to corrupt party
The course of the HERALD shows, too, that If
Judges, legislators, Congressman and Cabinet men,
bcrs can be bought and sold like cabbages at the
hucksters stall, q great newspaper cannot be
bought, but, relying upon the support of the peo-
pie. can be sustained outside OF the rings and mo-
nopoes which have well nigh taken from the
masses all control OF their own affairs.
But while according praise to the paper and its
course, we regret there Is one point upon which 1t
signaly fails to appreciate the character OF the
contest In Louisiana, or, for some reason, Is un-
willing to acknowledge IL. There Is no scramble

another" And because this is true we suppose
the logical consequence is that 1--WE should
expect murders every day." '.Man must be
order to have peace in the community. :"
There is tender spot in every human heart,
while it is probably true that there is 'the
possibility of great sin in every man and
woman" as we'll as in Stokes or Gafney. We
should therefore be unselfish.
Dr. Thompson showed that without a media
Tor 1t Is impossible for us to come to God,
and Christ being the only Mediator between
God and man we must come unto God by Him.
Dr. Anderson, intoxicating the principle of
Denehcence and conservation of wealth to the
work OF Christ, declared that a man who had
but dollar and gave but a fraction of it was
far happier than the rich man who gave
nothing. We doubt if the Doctors structures
on those who 60 to church as they 90 to an
entertainment to make show and to attract
attention, were applicable to any congrega-
ton in the city yesterday. 1t was not the
kind of day to invite that class out
And here we find Mrs. Annie E. Smith, o
Methodist preacher, agreeing fully with Mr..
rockingham that everything in this age is
hypocriical- there is reign of deception
in business, in politics, in science, and even in
religion. What object scientists and religious
folk have to deceive themselves or others we can
not perceive. The great temptation of this
day, Mrs Smith thinks, is the all-absorbing
love of money. It is the curse of the age,
and it seems as though there never was a
time of such severe trials for true Christians as
this. Sad picture, indeed We, however,
kept Daniel will keep us in this day. Bat
then, we must give ourselves to God, to be kept
by HIS power.

The SPANISH News IN CuBA.-The news of
King Amadeus abdication was published in
Havana on the 14th inst. The intelligence
produced considerable degree of excitement

The Disciple Church of this place was
we'll filled last Sunday evening by an at
tentive and interested audience to listen
to a discourse delivered by Ed. J. W. In
gram, upon the subject of the "Interme-
diate State; or, Spirit life between Death
and Resurrection" The reverend gentle
man made the following points: (a) Man
is composed of body and spirit. 90 At
death they are separated. (c) The body
at death returns to dust. (d) The spirit
of death returns to God. (e) The spirit
lives, and is conscious between death and
resurrection. (G 1t, (the spirit is not
oblivious of the past. CD 1t also is cog
infant of the past and may know what is
passing in this life. Much interest was
manifested in the discussion of this sub
ject. The same subject will be resumed
by Ed. Ingram next Sunday evening,
when the following questions will receive
attention.. Where are now the spirits of
our departed friends? Are they in state
perfect, or only comparative happiness?
