SOUNDS LIKE FREE TRADE
OUR PROPOSED SPANISH TREATY
what Republican Minister Has Agreed
to-Our Tobacco, Sugar, Mslasses,
Etc, to Come IN Competition
with Foreign Articles.

LONDON, Oct. 3l.-A Madrid dispatch
to the STANDARD says the meeting of the
cabinet council yesterday was presided
over by King Alfonso. Senior Elduayen,
minister of foreign affairs, submitted
for consideration the conditions agreed
upon between United States Minister
Foster and Senior AlbOeeto, the Spanish
commissioner, for special treaty Of
commerce with America. This treaty
would be the starting point for new
colonial tariff policy in the Spanish
West Indies. II would open the Cas-
lillian colonies to American competition
against Spanish imports, but il would
also admit Cuba and Porto Rico into
ually forming with Mexico and other
Spanish speaking countries around
the Gulf OF Mexico and in
Central America on the basis of recipro-
cal concessions and discriminating
duties TO exclude European Competl-
ton. Canada, the British West Indies
and the Central American Republics
will receive the same advances from
Yankee diplomacy shortly. The spec
lal hlspanO- American convention stip-
ulates that its advantages shall apply
only to trade between tho United
States, Cuba and Porto Rico, which is
carried on under the American and
Spanish flags, respectively. BY its
terms America will admit sugars, mo-
lasses and raw tobacco free Of all duty
and u duty on other articles imported
from the West Indies shall be reduced.
Spain will place American flour and
cereals imported into her colonies upon
the same footing as those imported from
Spain, and will make large reduction
of duties on cattle, salt fresh
fish and all but very
few American manufactured goods.
spain will also suppress the consular
tonnage duties which are now levied at
American ports, and promises further
to reform its custom-hOuse, harbOr and
sanitary regulations and fines in her
colonies. Only strong government
like that of Senior Canouas Del Castillo.
with docile majorities in both houses of
parliament, could venture to attempt
such departure from the prevailing
Castillian ideas of n colonial policy and
from the old system Of protective tariffs.
The convention is likely to meet wi tn
much opposition in the cOrtes.

GEN. SHERMAN AS A soLlplFlER.

The watchword of Republican sec
tionalism has been "solid south"
They have claimed an adherence to war
ideas on the part of the southern people
sufficient to unto them not only i'm
sentiment, but in action. They have
further claimed that the southern peo-
pie were opposed TO the FREQ exercise of
the right of suffrage by tho freedmen,
because of their former preiudces. A
charge of this character against sec
ton Of tho country involves supposed
exemption on their part from such mar
row bigotry. In other words, Republic
cans are NATIONAL and southern Demo.
Gratis sectional.
:, Let us see how facts bear out this the
DRY. The dispatches tell us that GEN.
w. t. SHERMAN, who is now, and all
his life has been u stipendiary OF the
whole galaxy of states, has made a
speech in st. Louis to a branch of the
Grand Army of the Republic, the in
temperate tone of which can only be
accounted for on the hypothesis of
drunkenness or imbecile senility. He
digs up JEFF DAVIS, with whom he
quarreled when secretary of war,
says he ought TO have been
shot, when 1t is notorious that he (SHER-
NAM not only recommended his escape
to MR. LINCOLN, but made treaty with
GEN. JoE JOHNSON so favorable to the
south that il was rejected; .blackguards
the "dead Jow," JUDAH. p. BENJAMIN,
the most gifted man of the confederacy,
and rips up generally the corpse of past
discord with buzzy hurrah that should
shame JOHN A. LOGAN. Now, in the
name of honesty, is this an effort to
soldify the north or what is it? Why is
1t that SHERMAN, who has been proven
bially silent in politics, should be- trot-
ted out at this late date to threaten in
ATrlLLA style the re-enactment
Of his vandalism? Is this to solidiry

taking 100000 G. A. RS to put down in.
surrection? II may not be, but il GEN,
JOHNSON We're TO speak in the same
strain to the southern Historical society,
what would the northern press have to
say?
But this is not the key to SuEnMAN's
blatant incendiarism. The fact is, no is
related to BLAINE by ties of affinity
and consangninity. EwING-g general
order No II EWING, is also his kinsman
and the great EWING, SHERMAN auo
BLAINE families of Ohio must rule in
antocracy or the nation perish with al
It's constitutional guarantees. Bah
fecnmseh! Draw your superannuated
salary and cease to vex a nation you
have disgraced by acts of barbarism un

In the one and quarter mile dash,
when coming down the last quarter, by
some means Frank Harper was thrown
down and Olivetto jumped oyer him.
His rider, Geo. COyington, was badly in
jured and the horse died when brought
to his stall. Conkling, the rider of Are
tinO, and the rider of Nirgio Hearne,
claim that they were ahead at the place
Of the accident, and knew nothing of ii.
The point at which tho accident
occurred is nOts in sight of the
Judges stand, and the patrol reports
that the two horses in the lead were in
no wise to blame, and rs he did not
know the horses by name, it is, OF
course, supposed he had reference to Ar

one is to blame in the matter there can
be no doubt The judges lay no blame
