Tho Recognition OF Spain.

The announcement that King Alfonso has
addressed letter to President Grant, Offering
him his friendship and asking recognition as
the legal ruler of Spain, is confirmed. We do
not yet know what course our government
will pursue in dealing with Spain. The new
monarch has been recognized by all the Pow
ers of Europe, England included. Russia,
which has recognized no Spanish government
since the fall of Amadeus, and whose monarch
is supposed to be friendly to Don Carlos, has
fastened to accept Alfonso The eagerness
of this recognition forms singular comment
on the sincerity Of the motives controlling the
foreign Powers. The objection to a formal
recognition of the Republic of CASTELAR, was
that it had not been ."confrmed by the peo-
pie" and that it could not be considered
settled government until it had suppressed the
instruction of the Carlists and restored
order to the kingdom. Now, the monarchy
of Prince Alfonso has not been recognized by
the people, nor has it succeeded in REFRESHING
the Carlist revolt Spain is no nearer paci-
fcation under the rule of this boy than it was
when CASTELAR, was President. But the differ
ence between the two systems is that Alfonso
is monarch and the head of q kingdom,
while CASTELAR, was a republican and the Presi-
dent of Republic. In other words tho whole
influence Of the European nations is against
any system Of government that is not monarch
ical.
If President CASTELAR, had been encour-
aged by England, if the enemies of his admin
istration had not been directly assisted by
have succeeded in consolidating the Republic.
But Spain was isolated, ignored, denied
recognition, ruled out of the family of ma
tons upon one pretext or another, until
king was placed by the army on
her throne We should not be in a
hurry to recognize Prince Alfonso as King
of Spain. The American government has
probably more influence over Spanish policy
than any foreign Power, because of our rela-
tons with the Spanish dominions in the West
Indies. We are bound, of course, to recog-
nize any government that legally rules Spain.
We are not permitted to question the right of
people to accept a king or a president; and
we would give King Alfonso the same recog-
milton that we would give to the Emperor
Alexander. But as a representative govern
ment based upon the will of the people, and
recognizing that will as the first element of
authority, we should wait until King Alfonso
is recognized by the Spanish people before we
regard him as the King of Spain. Thus
far he is simply a successful military
usurper, recalled by the army and kept in
power by the bayonet. Before accepting him
let us be sure that he is acceptable to Spain.
We can at least make this moral protest
against the business-unhappily too common
of later years-of stamping out liberty by mill
tary power.

Me- BERGH was yesterday tried for contempt
Of court by Recorder Hackett who, after hear
ing the argument of counsel, exonerated the
defendant. The explanatory affidavit of Mr..
Bergh was considered consistent with inno-
cence; but notwithstanding the S. P. G. A.,
the Recorder was guilty of little cruelty in
reminding Mr. Bergh that people who live in
glass houses should be careful how they throw
stones.

The ENGLISH GOVERNMENT is disposed to
repeal the discriminating laws Of which
Ireland with SO much reason complains, and
that Parliament will promptly act upon the
bill introduced by the Chief Secretary for
Ireland is indicated by the support given to
it by the liberal leader, the Marquis of
Harrington. The Chief Secretary made a
clever political epigram when he said that
many returned emigrants had acquired West
ern vices and forgotten Irish virtues One Of
these American vices is, no doubt, love of
liberty, and probably the chief Of the Irish
virtues would be, in his opinion, patient
submission to tyranny

State in the interest of general tranquility If
the Garland government is distinctly recog-
nized by Congress the President can take no
steps to subvert it. but if Congress adjourns
without instructing him on that subject the
almost binds him to overthrow the new con.
stitution of that State, depose its officers and
install Brooks as Governor. Such proceed
ing would convulse the country from end to
end, and we hope that Congress, in the in
terest of peace and order, will recognize the
Garland government before it adjourns.

Jervis, the accumulation is such that the de-
struction of the town and its beautiful wire
bridge is threatened. Will not some of the
authorities at points thus menaced try the
simple experiment of can of nitro-glycerine
on one of these ice dams? Our opinion is
that a charge of the New Jersey rendrock would
open way for the water, and that the dam
would disappear. If one would not half
dozen would, and town like Port Jervis
seems to us worth the experiment.

The shaughraun and skibbeah.
When the Shaughraun, in his wrath,
called the Skibbeah 'the thief of the
world" it is not strange that the latter, in
his resentment, took prompt steps to vindicate
his reputation. The Sdbbeah, who was
accused of taking the property, followed
1t up by taking legal advice, and, thus
fortified in q lawful way, intimated
that tho Shaughraun was q ibeller of his
superior. The damages he had sustained by
this libel he estimated at fifty thousand
dollars-a mighty sum to plaster such a
grievous injury. And thus began the swelling
prologue to the imperial theme.
But after the Skibbeah had brought his
libel suit he feared that the Shaughraun
would not abide the end. and SO yesterday he
made application to Squire Donohue to have
him arrested to keep him from running off,
The Skibbeah wanted the Shaughraun
locked up in prison stronger than that from
which he escaped by the chimney hole,
for it will be known that the Skibbeah
had heard of the tricks which the
Shaughraun had played the law when he
got the Australians to exile him back again
to his own old country. He said to tho
Squire: please, Your Honor, the Shaugh-
raun is like the fox he tells us he hunted,
which has more than one home to seek and
thus it is proved that he has no home at
all, and at any time he may go to it, and
where, then, will be my fifty thousand
dollars For after he goes to Boston
he intends to go to England, and the divil
himself knows when he will come back. So,
ask Your Honor please to lock him up till
can get my money for being called name
which it would be too much condescension fol-
me to utter"
Now, it will be seen that the Slibbeah
is very anxious about his fifty thousand dol
lars, and, unlike Mr. Titon, does not bring
his suit for the glory of it. but goes for the
money, which is, after all, the main thing.
If the Shaughraun stays he is sure of it,
but if he runs away how will the money
stand? The Squire was considerate to
the Skibbeah, but he said, 'Now you
need not be afeared that the Shaugh-
raun will be e1tradited by his own
will, for he is not, in my opinion, transient
person. Now, do you go home and take
things easy as you can for I can't arrest
steady man. But the Skibbeah was not con.
tented, and so he said, "Your Honor, if I should
get the Judgment against the Shaughraun,
and he be away over the salt SEAS fear that
the money would be forever NON est inventus."
''Not at ALL" answered the Squire; "when
you get the judgment Til go bail for the
money But the Squire did not tell the
Skibbeah that the 'when" was the main
question of the case, and so the Shaughraun
walked out of court as free as he entered, and
the Skibbeah said not word further,
and so the matter stands

The JERSEY MUD BANKs.-Under the di-
rection of the Secretary Of War General
Newton was last summer engaged in an ex-
animation of the mud banks in the Hudson
River opposite Jersey City, and his report,
elsewhere printed, contains the facts ascer-
tanned and his opinions. The accumulation OF
mud affects the tides, and by diminishing the
depth of the river is an injury to commerce
One cause of the evil General Newton believes
10 be that the opposite shores are under diff
ferent governments. Piers project beyont

growth. We cannot IN day undo the in
stitutions of thousand years. When
we founded our own Republic the
influence of England was so strong that
between the conservatism of Washington and
Hamilton and the constitutional monarchy of
George III. there was only q shadow Of differ
ence But our fathers were wise enough to
accept the fact that we had q republic, and
from year to year to liberalize and broaden it.
What Washington founded Jefferson estab-
lished American politics for three genera
tons have been controlled by the genius of the
great virginian who made our Republic demo-
cratic Let it be the aim of the wise and eau
tious men who now control the Assembly to
found the Republic. They have gained that
one fact, precious in itself, 10 matter how
much they may concede. Let it be the effort
of those who come after them to liberalize and
strengthen it, and show to Europe the exam
pie of a great nation governing itself accord
ing to the will OF the people, and not the
creature OF the king or the dormant, yielding,
sluggish servant of an imperial adycnturer
