FALL RIVER Mass, August &.-About
5000 operatives probably, will be idle
for the next thirty days, although the
rumor prevails that work will be resumed
in week. There is Il great deal of dis
satisfaction, and many are willing to 90
to work, including good part of the
spinners who heretofore acted almost as a
unit. How long the mills
will remain closed 1t is impossible to say.
The manufacturers do not know them
selves, but one thing that will influence
them very much is that they think 1t Is
hard that the operatives opposed to the
strike and willing to work a. IA reduction
should be locked out. Many storekcep-
ers have given notice that if the help can
afford to take n vacation of thirty days,
they can afford to pay cash for their
goods, and no credit will be given until
they go to work. Every mill has stopped,
with the exception Of the Stafford, which
will soon stop.

continue successful. Several important
victories were gained last week. The
Carlists are evidently approaching dis
solution.
The Spanish funds have risen owing 20
improved prospects.
The projected Constitution declares
the State religion Roman Catholic.
The Government has obliged itself to
maintain its worship and its ministers,
but no body shall be molested on Span
ish territory for religious opinions or in
the exercise of their respective worships,
so long as the respect due to Christian
morality is paid. Nevertheless other
public ceremonies or demonstrations than
those of State religion are prohibited.
Canovas Del CASTILLO, President OF the
Constitutional Committee, declares the
meaning Of this to be that Protcstants
NAV have churches with open doors and
celebrate worship inside, but there must
be no manifestations in the streets. 1t

truth in the proposition, for manners

plain outspoken honesty to consider
them as SO many channels of dissimula-

duplicity are by no means connected,

resistibls charm that an obliging courte-
GUS way possesses. The hearty welcome.

Judge Nelson OF the United States
District Court in Minnesota, rendered a
decision on the 9th instant, affirming the
oonstitutionality Of the Civil Rights law.
The Judge is a lifelong Democrat, and
his opinion very emphatically expressed

friends. In his statement given at great
length he says that, though possessing
no sympathy with that kind of congress
sional legislation and believing that the
State government should punish all
wrong or outrage of that character com.
mitted within its limits. yet where race
