new memorandum has been addressed to the
French COVE nment by the Spanish Ambassador.
II is known tDat at the time q previous list OF
charges mad been contradicted the Spanish gov
ernment had commenced the collection OF another
batch OF grievances through its agents on the
frontier. In other words o general Inquiry had
been opened. During this interval more AMIGA
BILE relations were established between the two
governments; the executive power in Madrid,
sometimes doing good and sometimes doing evil,
has been recognized simultaneously by France
and England, and we could mol suppose that this
moment would be chosen by the Spanish govern
ment 10 present additional grievances In an
annoying iorn. = To deny tBat a
contraband trade is carried on across the
Franco-Spanish frontier would be super
nuous, lor it exists there as an instltu-
ton, accepted by the habits or the people,
as is favored by the nature OF the country, and
the repression OF it has alw ays been dlnicut. But

From the Evening Post. Oct. so.l
One OF the resolutions OF the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. which was held on May la. 1872, declared
that ut fs imperatvely required that no President
shall be candidate for re-eection''-a declaration
which was repeated by the Baltimore Convention,
held on July 9-10 1872 During the interval BE-
tween these conventions the Pniladephia Conven-
tion was held on juno SO, 1872, and nominated
President Grant for Q reelection, having
full knowedge OF the resolution adopted
at Cincinnati, which had been reinforced
meanwhile BY Mr.. Greeley's letter OF acceptance OF
the Cincinnati nomination, wherein ne had de-
clared that to the end that there should be real
and not merely a simulated reform in the civil SER
vice OF the Republic, II was indispensable that the

The subject, therefore, not merely OF O tnlrd

was present to the mind OF President Grant when,
in accepting his nomination by the Philadelphia

Grant would possibly rolerate--as ne has done

been denied by the people the opportunity for
