The fugitive Don CARLOS had hardly got
across TIE Spanish border when he issued his
proclamation that he would never relinquish his
claim TO the throne Of soain. He has been an
expensive claimant during the last four years,
and Spain has had to pay for him with thou
sands Of lives, millions OF money, and the raw
ishment and desolation OF her northern prov

The American Minister 10 Vienna, GoD-
licans for Governor OF Indiana, had enough con-
ndence In his election TO lead him to resign the
Austrian mission. We apprehend that Ar. Ortiz
has acted hastily In giving up the sure thing he
had for the sake OF something shadowy IN the
extreme. The BRLKNAP revelations had not
been made at the time OF his nomination by the
Indiana Convention, and he had not heard Of
the present state OF the public mind when he
determined, few days ago, TO leave Vienna.
When he reaches Indiana, he will ind himself

facts are really startling. We find, for insttnce,

The long-threatened war OF Japan with
Cores has been averted by diplomacy and n

has been signed The war would not have been
without Its indirect ADVANTAGES to Corea. That
country 10 sealed up to outsiders aud TO foreign
commerce, just as Japan was itself until recent
years, and as China used to be In former times.
Force was needed to open up these populous
countries TO outsiders, and there does not seem
any prospect Of opening up Corea without force.
Its population is between ten aud twelve mil
lions, and many OF Its productions are needed
In the markets of the civilized world. Its gov.
eminent Is pure despotism, and the King has
an army OF great strength. There would have
been little doubt Of the conquest OF the country
by the Japanese II there had been war; and this
would inevitably have led to a change OF the
system by which the nation is shut out from the
rest OF the world.
