REPUBLICAN, SPAIN.

In whatever light the ncwly-born Re-
public of Spain may be regarded, there
ia no denying that it has accomplished
its work so far rapidly and effectually.
The Republic is now less than two
months old, yet IL has got through with
vast deal of work in that brief time.
A Madrid letter sums up the situation in
few words. II has shut up the Royal
Palace, that gorgeous building in the
Plaza de Oriente where monarchy has
held revelry for centuries. and talks Of
turning it into picture gallery. 1t has
dissolved the Cent Guards OF the King,
the Guardians del Roy" the finest look
ing set of dandy soldiers i'm the world,
with their bright, conspicuous red uni
forms. II has forwarded to Carthagena,
for shipment to Italy, all the horses and
carriages from the royal stables which
were the personal property of the late
King. 1t has locked up the crown and
the crown jewels. 1t has abolished po-
litical oaths and restored to full rank and
pay all the generals and officers who
were cashiered for refusing to swear to
the Savoy dynasty. 1t has decreed that
Justice is to be done in the name of the
Republic instead Of, as formerly, in the
name OF the King. 1t has abolished the
quintas, that odious service by conscrip-
ton, in which every fifth man whose
name came out of the turn of lottery
wheel was obliged to become soldier or
to pay $500. 1t has voted pension of
81 800 year to the starving widow Of
Carlos Rubio, the stanch hater of Queen
Isabella and ardent champion of the
liberal cause, who, with Calvo Asccncio,
did more than any other man to write the
death warrant of the Bourbon dynasty,
md afterwards was allowed to die miser.
lble and neglected by the very men he
helped to power. 1t has passed de-
rec voting complete reorganization of
he army. Henceforth every male be-
ween nineteen and forty is to be obliged
o serve his country, without power Of
redemption, and the nucleus of the fu-
IRE army is to be formed of volunteers
rom the present one, who are to get 90
ents day bonus in addition to their
'ay. 1t has changed the forty-nine civil
Governors of the provinces and whole
rmy of officials in Madrid. 1t has been
recognized by the great mother of
United States-and her !
oungest daughter, the Switzerland Of
VilliamTell. 1t has made speeches by the :
lrlong and issued circulars by the mile. ,
has passed one ministerial crisis and
approaching another. 1t has decreed /
lie scquelching of Carlism by the arm ,
lg of $4,000 volunteers to hold the
ueblos while the army ticks the enemy
nd it asks the Assembly to grant credit
$50, 900, 900 to pay the bill. All this the
epublic has done and is doing At the |,
me time its path is besct with difficult
es. The army is not over-zealous. This
a great misfortune, but is not beyond I.

Political Notes.

The State Republican Executive
Committee have letters from promi
nent gentlemen in various parts of the
State showing that Governor Noyes'
meetings are being better attended
than those of two years ago.
Morton answers Thurman, with re
ference to the pardon by the President
of Paymaster Hodge, by saying that
Hodge was a Democrat, and his friends
were Democrats, and the petitions for
mis- release were, for the most part,
from army officers and members of the
Democratic party.
Straight Democratic papers just
now are fond of quoting, The Old
Gcard dies but never surrenders," but
in view of the fact that they certainly
did surrender at Baltimore, let them
adopt this as an amended war cry
The Old Guard surrenders but never
dies !" 1t has the advantage Of sin
cerity.
The back pay bill was not part7
measure at all, and the Democrats die
rather more than their share in sus
tanning it. sHad the Republicans op
posed it," says Mr. Allen, mot on
Democrat could have got finger il
it." Turn that proposition the othe
way, and tell us what the result woul'
have been had the Democrats opposed
it.-TN. Y. Tribune.

in 1867 we had Bourbon reac

ty obtained majority in both branch
es of the Legislature. From the prom
ises the leaders and press Of the party
had made during the canvass, the peo
pie had reason to expect from it q
great reduction Of public expenditures,
and especially Of taxation. How these
promises were redeemed can be made
to appear in few words. Tue taxes
for all purposes, in Ohio, in 1867,
were $40, O,253,615. In 1868, after, the
Democratic Legislature had retrench-
ed, they rose to $20,489. .148. III 1869

The Combination stcp-Laddcr.

Perhaps the subject is not Of gener-
al interest, but a feeling of benevo
lence prompts us to warn the public
against the patent combination step
ladder which has recently been intro
duced to the market. We purchased
one because the man showed us that
by simple movement of . set of
springs the ladder could be instantly
turned into an arm chair, and from
that into an ironing table, and then
back again into a step ladder, Just as
We desired. When our hired girl went
to wash the windows, upon getting the
ladder home, she stood upon the top
step, and size hardly had her foot
down before the concern shifted sud
denly into an ironing table and broke
her leg. Then we concluded to use it
as table, and on Tuesday half a doz-
en- shirts were laid on it to be ironed.
At the very first touch of the fat-iron
the machine gave jerk, ground up
two shirts to rags, knocked the fat
iron over into tue next yard, where it
nearly Drained Chubb's wife, and after
a few eonYulsions of the apparatus
there stood a step-Iadder Then we
determined to use it exclusively as a
chair, and it worked well enough for
a while But one day the nurse placed
the baby in it for q moment while she
went for something, and just after
the springs had another paroxysm,
there was tremendous movement in
the legs, a violent agitation of the
back, then a tremendous jump, and
the baby was pitched up on to the
chandelier, the machine turned three
or four somersaults, jammed itself
half way through the window sash,
and presented the appearance of an
ironing table. 1t has attained such a
degree of sensitiveness now that it
goes through the drill if anybody
comes uear it, or coughs or blows his
nose close at hand. We have it stuff
ed away in the garret, end sometimes
away in the middle Of the night a rat
will jar it, or a roach run against it,
ana we can hear it rattling round the
room, getting into service as ladder,
u chair and table, fifteen or twenty
times in quiak succession. Il is prob
able that we would close that step lad
der out at less than cost 1t has too
much animation-too much frivolity
for a quiet family like ours.

Responsibility for the Salary Grab

Ex Senator, George E. Pugh, who
is now supporting the "AIlen county
movement" but used to be pretty
good Democrat, said, in recent
speech at Columbus:
If the Democrats in Congress had
made opposition to that infamous sal
ary bill it would have been defeated
but they did not; they were fully as
anxious as the Republicans to get
hold of the wages Of sin.
Mr. Pugh's assertion is fully sup
ported by the official record of the
votes on the salary bill, and by the
testimony of Congressman Van
Trump, Of this State, another Demo
crat, who says that when it was found
on the final vote, there was danger Of
the bill being defeated, several mem
bers who bad voted against it, hasten
ed to change their cotes, and he was
sorry to say that the mvortty Of them

Tremendous Effort Against the
Salary Grab.

The following is Senator Thurman's
only speech against the salary grab in
the Senate, in full, as published in the
Globe:
Mr.. PRESIDENT There have been
some very extraordinary things about
this bill, and about this raising of sal
aries 1 think there has been about
the greatest legerdemain in the way OF
legislation that have ever seen, and
now at this late hour for the Senator
from New Hampshire to get up ant
make an argument, apparently agains'
the bill, but really to carry all tEt
Democratic votes for it, is the mos'
extraordinary of all. Laughter,

the facts in the case, would hardly

subject now by the yard. They are

= Treasurer Spinner emphatieally
denies that any counterfeit has been
made of the plate of the new fifty
cent note, as sufficient time has not
elapsed since the issue OF the new note
to admit of successful imitation of
the plate. The supposed origin of the
existence of bogus note arises from
the fact that in the series of A and Fl,
of the new issue, the cap of the letter
D in the Treasurer's name does not
appear, and on this account, many er-
rOneously suppose, those thus dehcien'
are not genuine.
