| ton special says it can now be stated to
certainty that the dispatches which
have lately represented the Cabinet as a
unit for war. have been incorrect. The
| same are true as regards those which
represented the President as desirous
! for war. There are at least two members
OF the Cabinet who do not believe we can
make out legal case against Spain.
There has been considerable apprehen-
sion here that General Sickles may not
bear himself with the caution which cir
eumstances demand, and that by his
manner he may give unnecessary offerse
at this critical point in the negotiations.
Thus far, a large majority of the Con
gressmen who have arrived are opposed
to the idea Of war Nearly all reno
that the people in their Congressional
districts have no desire OF return of
war taxation and war prices, commercial
men of standing in New York have made
strong protest against running the
country into war. Altogether there is
much more conservative feeling here
on the subject tonight than at any
time since the trouble began. Core
spondents say tina. some of the war
like dispatches sent from Washington to
the press have been instigated by officials
whose positions ought to place them
above the suspicion of desiring to add to
the excitement, simply TO bring them
selves into notice. Two very notable
instances of this kind have occurred
during the past week. the principals in
each being gentlemen in prominent
official position. The one desiring to

Our State.

1t is fact worthy the attention of our
people that the last census shows that per-
haps one half of all adult native-born Yer
monters are now living outside her borders.
Our tendency to slide from the hills into the
valleys, from the farm to the village, is also
apparent.
1t is worth while to keep our young people
within our own borders as much as in us
lies; goodly proportion we cannot keep
and there is no danger of retaining too great
a number. We notice in the correspondence
of a Vermont editor now in California that

SICK OF IT.-W hat with the Republicans
on oae side and the Carlists on all sides, the
young King of Spain, has had far from a
pleasant experience during his two years
reign on the throne of Philip the Second,
Last fall his ministry saw fit to advance a
certain officer to the command of province
and thereby raised much diseon:ent among
the officers of the army. The officer, Hidal-
go, finally resigned bus was appointed to
another command and sustained by the min
istry and the Cortes, in spite OF renewed dis
satisfaction. Amadeus has within two or
three days declared his purpose to abdIcate
the throne, and the immediate moving cause
is reported to be the persistence OF his ad-
visers, in cases like the above, where the
King is forced to take action which results
in SO much disturbance among his subjects
1t is no wonder that the we'll meaning young
man is anxious TO be we'll out of it. Mean
time the Carlst, uprising is gaining strength
and the insurgents making good Roadway
against the government. Should Amadeus
carry out his resolution there appears Nc
reason why Prince Leopold might not bt
an eligible candidate, as there is no y lpoleor
to say him nay There are in Spain some o
the most earnest and thoughtful Republ
cans to be found in Europe, but without the
basis Of an intelligent people there can b
little hope of the establishment in any event
of an enduring Republic The dispatcl
announcing this crisis in Spain closes b,
saying
1t is given out that Senior Gorilla will re
tire to private life if the king persists in hi
resolve to ahdicate.
The members of the Cortes belonging t
the most advanced sections of the republican
party held meeting, yesterday, to conside
what action should b. taken in this crisi;
About 80 persons were present. They re
solved to maintain pacific yet energetic at
titude and, if the kings determinatlo
should be irrevocabIe, to encourage Orderl
manifestations in favor of the establishment
of republic.
In the event of the kings abdicltion, tn
Senate and Congress will 90 into joint sessio
and continue to sit until the throne Is file
of form of government decided upon.
The latest dispatches announce thu
, King Amadeus is steadfast in his determin;
ton to abdicate Much excitement prevail
in Madrid, and the Republican element seen
t. be developing unexpected strength.

English Estates.

Hon, j. P. Benjamin, formerly of Louis lana,
wrote in 1869 to the New Orleans Times, a
letter explaining the devices resorted to to
make money out of people in the United
States, through the pretence of getting
possession of unclaimed property and estates
10 England. Mr.. Benjamin wrote from
London, where he was established in business
as lawyer, and after saying that he had
and other parts of the union making Inquiries
relative to estates represented as existing in
England and awaiting the claims of Ameri-
can heirs, adds:
In every instance that has come to my
knowledge the statements are false, and
evidently made for the purpose of defrauding
parties out of sums, large or small, under
pretext of paying costs of records, copies
&c, said to be necessary for the assertion OF
the pretended claim"
Mr.. Benjamin mentions instances, as the
Wood estate, said to amount to ten millions
sterling. and the famous Jennings estate,
both of which were said to belong to Ameri-
can heirs. but without shadow of reason
as there were in each case an abundance of
English heirs.
/ The device usually resorted to by the
enterprising agents who get their living BY
the pretended hunt for these estates, is tc
( propose to prosecute the claim upon shares
and charge nothing unless successful. This
answers to get parties to start in a pursuit
and puts the agent in communication with
those anxious to be rich. Then judiciOu:
distribution of circulars from time to time
serves to keep up the fever of expectation
Finally the agent pretending that his re
searches have resulted favorably, regrets tina
his resources have given out just as he wa
about to grasp the prize, and he begs hi
patrons to come forward with some none,
to enable him to make his success sure; an
by this method be usually makes the littl
speculation for which the original story wa
set on foot.
Those hunting for English estates will d
well to bear IL mind that in England a
Qlien cannot inherit real estate when there
no will, and cannot take real estate wher
there is a will. Estates in England ais
descend to the Oldest son, and are not divide
among all the children, as in Vermont, an
one may therefore be a descendant and nc
a heir. 1t will then be seen that the pursu
, of English estates is beset with dificuti'
7 which ought to admonsh every one in tn
country that as an investment, such propert
