The Health Of ten. Breckinridge.
lFrom the Courier journal. 1

DIR. l.. Z. Blackburn who returned Yesterday
IRON Lexington, whittier be had been summoned
by Gen. John c. Breckenridge. gives a very cheer
ing report as TO that genlleman's condition. 1t
has frequently been reported that the health of
General Brecklnridge was very precarious but
DIR. Blackburn Gays he has not been stronger.
in better spirits, and more assured of long
lease OF life than just now. The rig ht lobe of his
liver has been somewhat infamed, superinduced
by severe cold, and the lower part Of his right
lung has been affected by sympathy, but DR..
Blackburn is certain that these symptoms will
shortly disappear and that General Breckinridge
VII soon be able to resume the active duties of
his profession. He is at present confined to his
room, but only because he feared to brave the
wretched weather, which, until the last day or
two, has been continuous for two months past.

BETTER LATE THAN NEvER.-A deputy
sheriff in Keene, New Hampshire, had a
habit, when anything occurred to him
which he had forgotten to state, Of quickly
raising his right hand with the forefnger
extended, and prefacing his remarks with
the expression, "By the way" 1t being
once his duty, as crier, to give notice of
the opening of the court, he began "Hear
ye! all persons having anything to do be-
fore the Court of Common Pleas, will
draw nigh and hearken to the evidence"
He he sat down, but remembering that he
had forgotten the finishing touches, in
stantly arose: and exclaimed, "By the
way, God save the State!

SPAIN.

We have had little hope for the Repub- lie in Spain since the overthrow of Castel- lar and the establishment of a govern ment as the little republican in substance as the famous Consulate with which Nap oleon, l. paved the way for his Empire. Still tine result is such an humiliatlRg con- fession of failure for poor Spain that no republican can contemplate it without a feeling of bitter personal modification. That country which has ever enjoyed a government republican in form" should give it up without a struggle, to swear al- leerance to a minor son of the sinful -old bigot it had expelled only half dozen years ago. is a very hateful fact. It is an other proof that republicans are needed for the maintenance of republic. Never theless VIC American republicans are apt to turn from exhibitions of this sort grate- full 'we are not as other men are"
 Is there no Spain in America? About the time old Spain was sending the portly Isabella on her travels we were establish ing certain reconstructed governments, republican in form" in various Southern States. Has the history of those govern ments been much more creditable than that of the sham monarchy and the sham republic that succeeded the Spanish Bour- bOns? Is not the old problem answered in the old way? An ignorant body of electors just as certainly produces a cor rupt. feeble, government in America as in Spain. We cannot expect anything but feebleness, tyranny and corruption from an electorate that cannot comprehend the first principles of republicanism-which is not honest or intelligent enough itself to require honesty of its representatives.
 Probably dishonesty was never more thoroughly organized even in Spain than it is to-day in South Carolina and Louis jana, and yet Congress is waiting supinely for another Conservative whirlwind to overthrow that, and, with it, all that is good in Reconstruction
