Very few people who knew or studied
the condition of affairs in Spain had con-

lie 1t lasted little less than two years
In February, 1873, Amadeus announced
his abdication. Three days afterwards
the Cortes, specially assembled to deli
berate on the emergency, adopted Re
publican form of government, by voto
259 10 50. The Carlists were already
active in the North, and the abdication
of Amadeus greatly raised their hopos
of success. The King in his message TO
the Cortes, had stated that his short
reign had been kept in perpetual dis
quiet by the Spaniards themselves, and
that he resigned in dispair of being able
to bring peace TO the distracted country.
Since that day the troubles and disorders
which drove out Amadeus have rather
increased than diminished and Spain
has presented TO the world, the specta-

and at these times his face was expres-
sive of Infinite humUr, which almost be-
came explosive. Several times his face
was as that of Grimaldi. When Morris
spoke of mutual Moulton'S Efforts TO be-
friend Beeche-. and, again, when Morris
referred to the labors of Carpenter, and
again when he told how the wretched
defendant was indebted TO these men,
Beecher pui his finger on his lips as
though supptessing a smile. MOrris's
description of the horrible condition of
Beecher's mind, and the awful remorse
he suffered was lurid piece of rhetoric'
delivered with loud, jjerky cries, and vIo-
lent g.s.iculation, but Beecher's benig-
nant face was queer commentary on it.
Tilton listened closely to the speech,
which had been often recited to him be-
fore, but he seemed to get exhausted be-
fore the day was over and moved about
uneasily.
The speech is called the Opening"
for the prosecution, but it seemed more
like summing up after the evidence is
all in. Like the speech of yesterday, It
contained not single new point or item
of evidence, but consisted wholly of
comments on the published documents,
whose phrases have been worked through
the public mind for months. 1t dealt

electrifying to listen to such an elabor-
ate discussion of words which have been
so often chopped to pieces. But his
manner to-day was free and fiery, and he
spoke in better voice and more earnestly
than yesterday. Some parts of the speech
reminded me of the "spasmodic tragedy"
of Fermilean. In closing he said
he hoped the prosecution could be
able to make out their case against
Beecher. The speech was highly OBJ
noxious as piece of legal paactice TO
some of the defendants counsel, on the
ground that it was in the nature of a
summing up rather than opening, in

and the law applicable to them, should
be set forth.
Judge Nelson was wearied out, and
told Morris he felt unwilling to let him
go over another day. A prominent law
yer remarked privately that the speech
was SO drawn out and in such a way that
it would be harmful rather than advan-
tageous to the prosecution. But certain
ly the jury, as well as the spectators, lis
tened closely to every word of it.
AS soon as the Court adjourned the
two litigants rose, and for a time stood
almost side by side. Beecher was i'm
mediately surrounded by his friends, and
Tilton left with his counsel. There

The corn crop of the United States
for 1871 is reported by the Agricul-
tural Department at slightly more
than 800 millions of bushels. This
is reduction of 120 millions of the
corn crop of 1873, which was itself
''not good year for corn" This
decline in production accounts for
the high price of corn. Two crops
having been thus below the average,
h,p-1 that the corn crop
Of 1875 may be a good one. This
crop is as important as the wheat
crop, for upon It closely depends
the provisions Of the country and
the maintenance Of I'll working ami
mails, whilst nota small part Of it
belongs to the staple stock of hu-
man food.

A King For Spain.

On Tuesday and Wednesday peace
able revolution took place in Spain,
which resulted in placing on the throne
Don Alfonso, the son of Queen Isabella,
and lad who has barely passed his sew
enteenth year. Serrano, the acting Die
tator, the Duke de Montpensier, who
represents claimant to the throne in
the person of his own son, and even some
of the more prominent of the Curlst
leaders have acquiesced in the revolu-
ton, and hailed the young Prince as the
King of Spain. Only thoroush-going
Republicans like CASTELAR,, are likely to
object, and there are precious few of
them in Spain, and speedy disposition
will be made of them if they are demon
strative. Tie revolution in favor of AL
fonso seems to have been plotted in the
army, Ever since his mother, the
Queen Isabella, was driven from Spain
in 1868, by Prim and his associates, the
Spainiih army has been divided in SYM
pathy between Alf3nso and Don Carlos
some few Republican officers are scatter

1t has been noticed that several
ships laden with English coal and
bound to Pacific ports, have lately
been burned at sea, and it is sup
posed that the fires were spontane-
ously generated. Cap. Knowles of
the ship "Glory of the Seas" which
recently arrived at San Francisco,
reports that the vessel narrowly es-
capped destruction by fire. He was
compelled to keep the matches off
almost all the voyage to give venti-
lation, and on several occasions the
steam from the coal could be seen
coming from the matches. The men
and officers report that the coal was
at times so hot that it could not be
held in their hands for moment.
1t is supposed that an unusual guam
tity of sulphur is present in the
strata of coal from which the latest
cargoes were taken.
