The New York Herald bus information from
one OF its foreign correspondents that Amadeus
resigned the crown Of Spain because he thought
that the opposition which he would thus show te
the Ministry would conciliate the army, and that
the latter would call him back to the throne. Ir
this case, he would have been relieved from the
constitutional restrictions which limited his
power according to the laws Of his first acceptance
Of the crown The events in the reign Of Anna
deus, and the character Of the man as portrayed
in his actions, do not favor any such construction
Of his resignation. Amadeus vent thore, as be
thought, because he WAS the choice Of tho people,
and was evidently disposed throughout his reign
to give them constitutional government. He
found the people Of Spain unpropared for this
sort of government There was but d small
minority who seemed to understand tho nature
Of it. The:vaat majority VAS divided between
the adherents Of some hereditary monarchy, Of
absolute pretensions, and the advocates Of q
republic to whom the license Of Communism,
rather than the protection Of constitutionality,
WIS the objective point. Amadeus was exceed
ingly wise in concluding that it would be fruit
less effort to induce these two extreme classes
to conform to rational mode Of government
and, after a trial Of a couple Of years, he left
them to seek discretion through any means OF
discipline that circumstances might provide. It
was, much the came situation which King
Leopold, Of Belgium, once met with equal wis-
dom. The revolutionary spirit having extended
to his people, he reminded them that they had,
called him there, that he was prepared to give
them aconst titutional government II he remained,
and that, il they did not want that, he proposed
to leave them The difference between Belgium
and Spain ia, that the people Of the former
country we're rational enough to ask snch q
man to stay among them, while the people Of
Spain are too radical and too cratic to act in the
same way. It is probable that the present Re-
public is but another step in the discipline to
which the Spanish people are subiectinR them

the State has loaned its credit? Heavy iuae
ments have been rendered in favor Of Chase
Co., involving IN amount Of money for Two
thirds OF which the Attorney General claims tb,
road IL not lab}e. Two other judgments vert
also rendered, and in which twenty miles q
the road we're sold by the Sheriff, the
purchaser holding possession and claiming
to hold it independent aud free Of the lien Of the
State adverse thereto. At the lust term Of the
United States Court, held in Jacksonville, de-
| cree WIS obtained for the ea1o Of still another
section OF the road. Other sections ara in the
hands Of Receivers, and, it there is anything left
after the choice lots have been sold of to suit
purchasers, the United States Marshal will sell
that also. In conclusion, the AttorneT-Genaral
suggests "that the Legislature should make
provision for tho protection OF the interest Of
the State in the public work it has loaned the
credit OF the State to complete, and to compel
those who have fraudu1ent1y possessed them
selves Of money arising from sale Of the
bonds to refund it with interest; to defeat
tho schemes that are on foot to work fur
ther wrong and injury to the State; and to in
sure proper application Of the proceeds Of the
bonds and completion OF the important enter
prize itself, that adventufers be no longer
allowed to make the said public work means Of
raising enormous Gums Of money to be dissipat-
ed with reckless pzoaigacy."
Milton s. Litt1efeld, the President Of this un-
fortunate corporation, which has met with q fate
as bad as that Of the man who started for Jeri-
cho and fell among the thieves, is carpet-bagger
who went South during the war; for time was
Federal of6ce-ho1der in North Carolina and
afterwards turned up in Florida, where he has
helped to squander s4,00o, 600 OF State bonds in
the most profigato manner possible, assisted BY
q Credit Mobilier, which, in its WAY,
and in proportion to the amount Of money il
could control, Was - shameless and corrupt as
the Credit Mobilier Of the Union Pacific. The
loss falls upon the State, which has never re-
ceived cent of tho interest, which the Company
obligated itself to pay, 60 that the interest due
bond-holders must come out Of the ta1-ridden
people, in addition to the amounts loaned BY the
State for which no consideration appears, except
the remains OF q railroad which are being
sold of in pieces to satisfy the claims Of the
harpies who have literally devoured its sub
stance. Comment is unnecessary. The F1orid.
