SPAIN AND EsPARrEEo.-To the long list of
HERALD interviews in which Napoleon, Bis
marck, Guizot, Gambetta, Don Carlos and
other prominent Europeans have figured, we
added yesterday an interview with the veteran
Espartero. From the views of Espartero
some of our readers will no doubt differ. His
opinions, however, it must be admitted, as
given by our correspondent, are well defined
and sharply put. any one knows Spain,
Espartero knows or ought to know it. 1t is
not wonderful that he should have little SYM
pathy with Don Carlos, for he won his spurs
in the cause Of Isabella, when this century
was yet young. To the Republic he is not
opposed. He only says that Spain is not yet
ripe for it. Espartero is consistent in cling
ing to the cause Of the Prince of the Asturias.
1t remains to be seen whether the old General

columns we enable the American public to

invested. Yet the people are required to pay
rates Of freight and passage for interest Oh
this inflated or bogus capital This is the
great evil complained of, and which the West
ern farmers have moved against
There is no way of reaching this railroad
monopoly and extortion but by legislation.
There is no little difficulty, however, in apply
ing that for the railroad companies control
most of the State Legislatures, and to great
extent Congress as well. But public opinion,
which is now being aroused, may overcome
both the power of the railroads and corrupt
or interested legislators It would be unwise,
probably for the federal government to pur-
chase the railroads, as that might lead to
dangerous concentration of power and corrup-
tion. But if the several States cannot or will
not regulate the tariff of charges for freight
and passage upon the basis Of the actual cost
of railroads and their running expenses,
allowing liberal interest on such actual capi-
tai, the federal government ought to do so.
The railways are the channels of commerce
through and among the several States, and
Congress has the power, under the con-
stitution, to regulate that commerce.
It is the duty Of the federal gov
ernment to protect the public from
extortion predicated upon fictitious capital.
There is more reason to do this in the case Of
the railroads than to pass laws against usury,
for this is the worst kind of usury. Then
Congress should at once charter and encour-
age the construction of through double track
freight railroads from the Atlantic seaboard to
the far West with branches to the principal
seats Of commerce off these lines, and should
impose such restrictions as to charges that
would not be evaded Other Legislative meas
ures may be necessary to prevent consolidation
of railroad interests and to maintain healthy
rivalry. Some remedy is urgent, and our
merchants should either heartily cooperate
with the farmers oranges or take some other
action to promote cheap transportation. In
doing so they will be acting both for the in
'terests of New York and for the general well
fare of the country.

The following scrap of unwrltten
history, referring to the southern part
of TINS township, we have gathered
from the most authentic source, and
give it to our readers with the thought
that it may prove new to most OF them.
In the olden times there lived near
to the village of Arlington, now called
Masontown, family by tie name OF
Collins. This family mad for neigh
hors and tenants a family named
Radcliff. These families both resided

the Rollins tract of land, their houses
being only separated by a marrow
stream known in these DAYS as Fisher
creek. These two families were by
natural inclination, education and in
all their tastes as widely opposite as
the poles. The Collins family were OF
French descent and had inherited all
the polish, politeness and hauteur that
have ever characterized that people,
The Radcliff?Were of Teutonic origin.

the German elements that still cling to
then. Both families were engagedin the
honorable pursuit of tilling the soil for
a livelihood The children of both
families were budding into woman
hood and manhood at the time the
events we are about to record took
place. Ellen, the name of Miss Col
Inns, and the heroine of this tradition,

Henry Wilson, ON Sunday last, died
to-day, we learn, at IL o'clock, Nj.
We could obtain no direct account of
the circumstances OF her death, but
we presume it was greatly the result
of the immense shock she is said to
have sustained from the act which she
so unwittingly yet SO unfortunately
committed.

NORTH, CarOIina's History

The Raleigh Sentinel and Newberh
Journal of Commerce intend to pub
Iish histo1 zeal sketches of the exploits
and achievements of the North Caro-
lima troops, and we are heartily glad
to hear it. The troops of the old
North State made a record for them
selves of VIII ch those of any Common
wealth might be proud, and it IS emil
nently fit that the history of their
exploits should be written out now,
willie they are fresh in the minds OF
her people. But why stop here ?
Why not have a history of the State
from its settlement down to the end OF
the war? This is not so difficult as it
might seem at first. Our belief Is
that some competent man - and
Carolina has many fit for the task
within her borders could publish
such work by subscription. Every
county in the State would contribute,
and with a fund thus collected the
Legislature might be induced to send
the writer to London in order to make
q study of the necessary documents
which now slumber in the State-paper
Office. By this means the history OF
North Carolina might be written, and
we trust that some thoroughly com
petent man III y unde, takes the task. -

review there was no change percepti-
BILE to the tone of the market and the
figures of last week were the ruling
quotations. Monday morning the re-
ceipts were light and~the stock being
considerably reduced by exports of
size, sellers became firm in their views
and refused to sell, unless at bigger
rates. Buyers were loath to give, but
to effect sales paid an advance of 25
cents. Tuesday the market remained
firm and a further advance of 10 cents
was gained. Wednesday the market
continued to move upward and buyers
paid d further advance of 10 cents.
To-day, Thursday at the close of our
writing, the market still remains firm
and closes at s. % with an upward
tendency. The receipts for the week

ket for this article is entirely unaltered
and remains quiet. During the week
the receipts have swollen to a good
size, and the new crop IS now being
freely received. The market has ruled
very quiet and steady, but good de-
mand has existed from distillers, and
every barrel that has been offered has
secured the highest market rates. The
late warm weather has produced a
warmth among the sap in the trees
and the crude is now running freely.

*One week s delivery
EOSIN-The week opened with a
very quiet business movement and
there was general dullness prevail
ing, and the tendency of the market
was rather i'll favor of buyers. On
Saturday, however, there was better
feeling exhibited, which remained
during the middle OF the week, but
towards the close the dullness has set
in again and the market may be writ
transactions (boih spot and future de-
livery have been quite free, and all
June sales We're made at figures equal
to the present quotations, giving evil
dence that buyers and sellers are not
wholly despairing of the market, and
rather opening a channel to an active
business as the season of full receipts

that a fair aHount of the weeks bust
