Our Relations with Spain.

The Government Of the United States
has several unsettled accounts with the
Spanish government. Her cruisers upon
the Cuban coast have thrice offered insult
to the American flag by seizing American
vessels, OBTAINING and searching them, as
ia the case of the Ellen Rizpah and the
Rising Sun, both American whalers, cruis-
ing off the coast Of Cuba, and by the mas
sacre Of the passengers and crew of the
Virgiuius, for which no adequate redress
has been made. Spain, unfortunately, is
waging war against her rebellicus colonists
In Cuba, and watchful vigilance is ne
cessary to prevent supplies reaching them
through contraband trade, but that is no
sufficient reason why she should violate
the comfy of nations and offer insult to
the flag of friendly power. Our govern
ment has borne with these indiguities in
view Of the necessities of the situation in
which Spain is placed, by state of colo
NAL war, but the governments at Washing
ton sees the importance of putting an end
to these seizures aud searches upon the
highways Of American commerce. TWAS
developed in the Virginius case that the
maritime police of the Cuban coast was
committed to Spanish officials who paid
no respect to international or any other
law in the treatment Of that vessel and
her crew and passengers. While no blood
has been shed in the arrest and detention
Of the Ellen Rizpah and the Rising San,
nothing can be more arbitrary, offensive
and annoying than the circumstances at
tending the arrest and Imprisonment Of
the officers Of those vessels Spain should
remember that there is powerful senti-
ment in the United States in favor Of in
terventiou 10 behalf Of the Cuban insur-
gents-that the Administration has, for
years, had as much as it can do to resist
that sentiment successfully, although it
was right in opposing iutervention--but
that il cannot be resisted much longer if
American forbearance is repaid only by
repeated wanton and fragrant outrages on our
commerce. If Spain persists in her sciz-
ures and searches her conduct will lead to
open hostilities aud to the certain loss to
the Spanish crown of the gem of the An
titles.

The FAN Elections.

Twenty-one States during the ensuing
fall will hold elections. Alabama and
Kentucky will lead off on the 9th Of
August, and both will name legislatures upon
whom deyolye the choice Of United States
Senators Both are decisiyely Democratic.
September brings three more up to the
ballot box; Vermont and California on the
5th, and Maine on the 10th. Maine aud
Vermont name State officers and legisla.
lures; California the latter only. Allthree
are pronouncedly Republican, though some
expectation is had among the Democrats
that they may win California this time.
Colorado, Iowa and Ohio follow on the Cd
of October, all choosing legislatures and the
lattertwo governors as well. Colorado and
Iowa may be elassed as certainly Republi-
can, and although Ohio is regarded as
doubtful, she will most likely be found with
the Republicans,
November will close its first week upon
fourteen more elections, eight of which will
cover a choice for Governor in addition to
the legislative tickets presented in all,

claimed by the Republicans The remain

'lTho Unwritten Law

This was the subject Of an address by
Hon. Thomas f. Bayard, Senator from
Delaware, before the PHI BETA KAPPA
FRAFERNITY Of Harvard College, Cam
bridge, Mass, june 2s, 1877. We devote
the space usually occupied by story and
miscellaneous reading on our first page, to
this address. 1t should be read by all,
but especially by young men who are just
stepping over the threshold of active bust
ness life, or who are in search of elemen-
tary knowledge on which to found career
Of future usefulness 1t may be studied,
as textbook is studied in any branch of
science, and its sentiments will be found
Invaluable. 1t teaches us the basis and
the essence Of law and good government;
the structure and foundations of society,
its ends and aims, and especially what is
requisite ia free government or gov
eminent of the people, such as ours, Our
people as general thing know too little
upon these subjects. They have not stud
led them So as to understand them thor
oughly, and to become indoctrinated in the
fundamental principles of popular govern
ment, in which every man ought to be able
to take an intelligent part. In govern
ment of the people the people ought to
understand what legitimate government is
and their rights and duties under it, so
that those rights may be maintained and
those duties properly performed. This
address enlightens the public mind on these
important topics, aud, as far as it goes,
may be read with as much profit as the
teachings of Jefferson, Madison, DeToque-
vile, Burke, Upshur, Hopkins, or any other
writers, at home or abroad. The Boston
Post asserts that nothing better can be
found in American literature. Let it be
carefully studied, aud read and re-read,
until its principles and teachings are thor
oughly mastered and firmly implanted in
the mind.

'Four little black boys, the Oldest not more
than ten, met four little white girls, of the
same age, in Mobile, last week, and with one
accord kissed Them
For this wanton rudeness they were
taken before the mayor, who Imprisoned
the eldest Of them for a period Of nine
months, and the youngest of them for two
months. The N. Y. Tribune, which is
probably imbued with miscegenation sen
timeuis, INDUCES in vein of sarcasm at
the judgment of the mayor, in this case.
II such things are done in the green tree,
what might be done in the dry? This

The Demand for Grain in Europe.
The New York letter Of the Phiadol.
phia Ledger, Of Monday, says:


The New York letter Of the Philadel.
phia Ledger Of Monday, says:
The most important news to-day relates to
an extraordinary demand for our new crop
wheat on British and Continental account.
Yesterday and to.days eablegrams were re-
eeiyed ordering purchases for about all that
could be had at current figures, and when it
is added that transactions for the week have
run up to the enormous aggregate of nearly
two millions of bushels, the magnitude as well
as the urgency of the movement will be COM
pretended. These operations, it should be
observed, have been attended with little or
no excitement, the parties engaged in filling
the orders apparently being DESTROYS Of exc
cutting them, for obvious reasons, as quietly
as possible. In addition to the fact stated in
yesterdays Ledger that one of the steamship
lines had let all its available grain room
for two months ahead, it may be stated that
like offers to other lines have been declined
unless at an advance on present rates.
Parties most conversant with the grain trade
are persuaded that there is something about
this movement which is not apparent on the
surface. These heavy purchases on European
accent cannot be on the calculation that our
harvests are to turn out badly as all the re.
ports from the West within the past few days
have been OF character to show that the
crops are to be fully up to the average. Even
the corn, which was in some danger of rust
from excessive wet weather, is turning out
much better than was expected. These facts
are as well known abroad as at home. 1t is
assumed, therefore, that the purchasers on
the other side must have some information
concerning the war, of kind to convince
them that it is going to be protraeted, and
that England viii not be able to keep out of
it great while longer. 1t is hardly neces.
sary to add that these operations have been
attended by q marked advance in prices.

President Hayes has laid himself liable
to severe but just criticism for his modi-
fcation of his order to government officials
depriying them of their political rights.
He recently ruled that officials who are
members of the National Republican Com

that order. These big fish in the political
sea may do as they please, but the small
fry must obey bis mandate; they must not
belong to any political organizations or
take any active part in them whatever.
