The DELAWARE VALLEY RAILROAD
AGAIN.-We have lost all faith in the pro
ject' of new roads through the Delaware val
ley However, the following, which we copy
from the Honesdale Herald may be reliable:
''It is now stated, apparently authorita-
lively, that the projected coal route from
Hazelton to Boston, Hartford & Erie from
Newburg, will be commenced in the Spring.
and that it has been decided to build it ur
the Delaware to Port Jervis from Strouds-
burg, instead of eastward from that place
through New Jersey. The route up the
river was surveyed last summer, and reported
to be the most feasible. If the road is built,
it will reyolutionize the interests of the entire
valley, and be of great importance to all this
upper region. The Erie is said to be interes-
ted in it, inasmuch as it will render valuable
the bonds of the Boston, Hartford & Erie,
now worthless, and of which the Erie holds
So, 900, 000."

SPAIN.

Poor, benighted Spain is now suffering
another crisis. Castelar, the most glorious
in Europe, has been defeated IN
his efforts for the good of his country aud
people, the Cortes has been forcibly dissol-
we'd, and new ministry has been formed
which will be death to present hopes OF
Republicauism, if it does not, through lntri
que, succeed in placing in power that hoyai
''Soiled Dove Isabella, or her protcge OF
NAV fathers Don Alfonso. The event took
place on Friday, and cannot fail to bring sor-
row to the mind of every lover offree govern
ment. throughout the civilized world.
1t is singular that people can be SO stub
bornly blind to their best interests as the
Spainards prove themselves TO be. With
the best of opportunities before them and
with the best of leaders beckoning them on
they halt at the very threshold of liberty,
and more like dogs than like men return to
the vomit of tyranny and prepare again to
gorge themselves with the rotten medley
which royalty spreads before them as a feast.
But such arc the Spainards- better than
tigers in their cruelty, and no better than
dogs in the manner in which they yield their
backs to the masters whip, and their necks
to the tyrant's yoke
1t is singular that the country which can
produce people so ahject as are the Span
iards can, at the same time, produce such
men as Castelar, and his coworkers in the
cause of Rcpublicanism. The former change
with the wind in all save their love for blood.
| The latter, generous to enemies as well as tC
friends, have but the one grand object in view
the freedom Of the people and the advance,
ment of their intelligence to such pitch as
will secure its perfect enjoyment. The
former are republicans to-day, communist.
tomorrow, and absolutists next day, just a.
the winds may blow their volatile ideas
The latter are republicans at all times
because they know that it is in an inteli
gently conducted republican form of govern
ment only that the greatest possible amount
of good can be secured to the creates
numbers. But Spain has rejected thesc
men and their works, and to day Spain Will
her interests are again on the sea of confu
sion without a rudder to stear her by, with
out trustworthy captain, and without tha
unity so absolutely necessary to save her from
the men whose instincts are only such a

We pity the men who would so nobl,
elevate her in position among nations ant
make any sacrifices to secure her prosperit!
and peace; but Spain and the bulk Of he
bigotted, royalty ridden Spaniards meri
nothing but the most sovereign contempt.
