As soon as the rumor went forth upon its
mission to excite our people into the belief that
war was Imminent with Spain 1t was really in
teresting to see the young American patriots
congregate on the street corners and talk earn
estly of the prospects of a irst-class sutler
| business.
"Three war sloops are being hastily fitted
| up at the Philadelphia navy yard. This
means war, premeditated, unprovoked, IN
necessary, awful, dangerous, disastrous war
and pestilence and disease and death, and
Third Term, with 'Seizer,' and monarchy
and oligarchy and heptarchy and hemorrhoids
and epizootarchy and 'arnca' and hell" This
is what may be expected from the New York
Herald Of to-day.
James Gordon Bennett denies the rumor
that he is to marry, and the young lady's
father puts his French calf down and says it
is not SC, and things are beginning to look SO
mad in and around the Herald building that
the attaches are preparing for a shaking up.

blood and buried without ceremony.
The Richmond Dispatch gives the following |
solemn warning to the Democracy of New |
York: "We suspect that the next President |
has not been named yet, and, more than ever,
the political gamblers of New York are
warned that that State is not the world, and |
hof OF rrh{ fuvO fiol
candidates to be beaten will not be allowed to
name the third. Governor Tilden is a local |
politician, of local education and habits, and |
he will so remain. 1t is the idlest thing in the
world to be pressing him upon people who |
are entirely Indifferent toward him."
Nothing would give US more pleasure than |
to have the Democracy nominate Governor |
Tilden for the Presidency and then be allowed |
to watch the maneuvres of the Cincinnati En-
quirer man as he pens his first leader on the
subject. There would be volcanos and earth
quakes and camp-meetings and cyclones and |
divers and sundry mingling and commingling
Of wrath and wretchedness within the confines
of that sanctum, such as the eye of man never
heard nor the ear seen nor the nose felt. A
cloud of sky-blue profanity would settle down
would be slaughtered to appease the awful
anger of a well-known but unfortunate blath-
erskite.
In speaking of the attacks of the World
Louis Jennings has this to say ''There is no
crime in the Decalogue which he had not oom-
mitted, and there were several new ones which
the editor of the World conclusively brought

massacred his eldest child at midnight. The
Union League Club had given him $50, 900.
The Custom House ring had presented him
with s25 900 more And this is the time of
the year more than any other when truth
and fiction, hand-in-hand, stalk abroad over
the earth, with truth little in the lead.
There is another rumor abroad-one of those
wild, restless, ubiquitous things which bears
upon its face the stamp of falsity. 1t says
that Spain, upon the event of the United
States recognizing the independence Of Cuba,
will concede the island to Russia or Prussia,
and combine with either in its defense. Spain,
frankly speaking, is not composed of such
paltry material as would allow her to compro-
mise her honor in such a dastardly manner.
Notwithstanding the innumerable troubles
which beset the Madrid Government enough
of dignity remains not to deny itself the honor
of defending cause which unfortunately it
believes to be right, by basely shutting the re-
sponsibility of defense upon those whom 1t
hates from the very nature Of things. Spain
may be wretched-a wretchedness selfin-
