RIDtInE in Spain.

A correspondent Of the RepubIique Fran
CGtse at Barcelona reports serious riOting
among the populace at Manresa and Tortosa,
owing to the attempt to impose additional oc-
troi duties at these places. In the former town
a number of women assem- bled in the Place de
la Constitution, and caused great disturb
ances. The military were called out but,
owing to the absence of the civil authorities OF
the town, could not dispense the mob. The
brigadier commandment OF the town at
tempted, In civil costume, to persuade the
women to dispense, but was received with
shower Of stones. In the midst of the confr1-
sion this occasioned shot was fired among the
crowd, and, in response, the soldiers fired,
killing little girl nine years of age, and Sc
verely wounding woman and two men. The
streets were then cleared. The next day
rioting recommended, and the civil authori-
ties resigned their powers into the hands of
the military. A conflict took place, which re-
suited in the death of one of the rioters
while a great many were wounded. These
disturbances seem spreading throughout the
whole of the district of Seville, and are
attributed to the restitution prevailing. At
Matamoras-as an instance Of how things
are conducted there-the schoolmaster has
died Of want; he had received no salary foI
five years. The master at RiBcoe has writ
ten $40 letters to the authorities, asking for
payment, but to no purpose. These accounts
may be exaggerated, bet they indicate the
existence of feelings of deep discomfort
among the people,

of the State of Louisiana, and that, for the
peace that reigns within her borders, the de-
creased rates of taxation upon her people,

rent everywhere, the State owes him debt
OF profound gratitude.
2. That the course Of the Hon. j. H. Acklen,
our congressional representative, has been
IN our opinion truly patriotic and above re-
proach; his constant efforts in Congress in
favor of measures calculated to benefit the
South, and more particularly the State of
Louisiana, has justly earned for him an in

cordially recommend that our delegates do
give him their support for the nomination so

interest of the party.

feat OF the Radical party, no matter under
