interrupted their sports. They now re-
quire compensation for the loss of that
captive Of their bow and spear, the Vir-
ginius, and we suppose some equivalent
must be given for having taken the playf
things and interrupted the amusements O..
these infant republicans.
The American press questioned The
capacity of the subjects of despotism for
centuries to take upon themselves the
obligations of freedom. The mere procla-
nation of piety does not make man o
good Christian, nor does dethroning an
oppressive king fit his disinthraled sub
Jects to govern themselves. A represen-
tatiV republican government, responsible
for liberty at home and respect of foreign
nations, is premium only awarded to
the personal intelligence, virtue and cour-
age of those who compose the republic.
Spain is but in ''the first reader" of this
school, in which the graduation is so
exalted. The honors and emoluments Of
power are too attractive 70 permit the
steady pursuit Of patriotism. Like hun
cry soldiers who capture we'll stocked
camp, the object Of the fight is forgotten
III the spells Of success, and discipline is
forgotten in the qualification OF appetite.
The republic Of Spain. so-called. has
now three or four civil wars blazing in her
midst A king disinherited and driven
from the throne OF his ancestors by their
profigate incompetency and the rapacious
expressions of their minions, now invades !
the country and besieges the cities. A |
portion of those who aided TO drive away /
the monarchy are discontinued, either
with the principles of the republican gov
eminent os the partition of the spoils. !
In the most prosperous colony Of the
Spanish dominions . war exists in which !
no quarter is shown by either combatant.
In this colony the nominal republic main.
tains not merely African but Asiatic bond
age. and, ostensibly a portion Of Spain.
is local authorities enforce local gov.
of their own.
From all this anarchy there can be but
me outlet. Passing through. the distrust
md disgust Of all nations, the Spanish
evolution will probably close in national
and some despot will with
powerful army replace the letters which a |
ew generous spirits and i desperate op.
,resSlOn had broken. Spain will prob /
bly, relapse into political bondage. and
hose who TOO hastily believed in her ca
'acity TO. self-goee.Iment, must acknowl.
dge and regret the delusion. I,

OUR REPUBLICAN COUSINS OF SPAIN

Our Secretary of State has been for
some time silent in respect to those neo-
phytes of freedom who in the wild ex-
uberance of an untried liberty made the
Modocs their model and playfully mas
sacred a number Of American citizens.
Since that time We have heard nothing of
these republican pets, except that they
propose to exercise their newly discovered
privileges by bringing an action Of dam
ages against the United States for having

Some of the cities of modern California
are on the very sites where ancient races
had their dwelling places and their burial
mounds. The skeletons of an unknown
race have been found in San Francisco sand
hills, and workmen engaged in cutting
down a street crossing at Napa recently un-
earthed the remains Of nearly one hundred
persons. The skeletons had been partially
burned before interment. Mortars' ARROW
heads, knives made from obsidian, and
shell car drop were discovered.
