The proposed gathering Of the suryiy-
Ing members of the Palmetto regiment
mt the Cotton States and International
exposition will be an interesting occa-
sion of some historical importance. Aft
cr tho battle of New Orleans General
JACKSON, who was Il native of South
Carolina, received from tho ludies of
that city u handsome souvenir vase as a
token of their strong admiration of his

Britain. On his death General Jackson
wlllcd the vase to the hrnvest soldier
that South Carolina should send to the
next foreign war
The Palmetto regiment went 100
strong to the Mexican war, but only 800
survivors returned. 4 committee was
appointed to decide which was the
bravcst of the 300, but where al were

IIuNAG CAPITAL.

Every now and then some fellow or
fellows get up scheme for the re-,
moval OF the National Capital, and it
may be added that they have always
failed. The latest move OF the kind is
u call for convention to meet in To
peka, Kan, ou September 9th, "to con.
slider the practicabiity of an early re
moval OF the National Capital to moro
central location" The proposition is
not new one, but it will be many
years before sthe capital is reno, Cd
from it's present location, if, indeed, il
is ever removed.
Tho last proportion Of the kind WAS
made during the second session OF the
Fifty-third Congress by Representa-
tive DeRrmond, of Missouri. But, nc.
cordiug to the New York Times, this
gentleman, ''in private conversation,
however, never hesitated to express u
doubt that any proposition which in
VOWED the removal OF the capital to q
point further West or South was like
y to be adopted by Congress-" Mir.
Dearmond believes that the capital
should be established in Kansas or
Missouri, because thoreabouts will NJ
timate!y be the center of population.
He admitted, however. that be was
fighting losing cause.
The Philadelphia Record. which gives
lengthy review of the facts which led
up to and which finally resulted in the
selection Of the present location OF the
National Capital, saws: 1T Is thus the
National Capital stands where il docs,
and where it is likely to remain. SIEVE.
raj enemies of our form of Government
have prophesied that the question OF
the removal of the capital will be the
rock upon which our country as OF
present administered will go to pieces.
But there Is nothing in such talk. The
revival of the agitation is the work of q
handful of soured aindependentapoIi
ticians, whose vagaries must not be
taken seriously. They will frd no
supporters; and as soon as they shall
have talked their throats sore they will
be glad to hold their ignominious
peace"

SPaEN AND CUBA.

1t need not occasion any surprise TO
hear OF u pretty general uprising Of
Republicans in Spain. The dissatis
faction among that class OF the Spanish
people is growing, and it is believed
by many that the troubles with Cubn
oilers all opportunity for an uprising
IN the mother country. In fact it is
said that the sending OF SO mauy troops
to Cuba is Us .Huch the part OF a pro.
gramme to weaken the hands of the
Monarchists at home as it Is to quell
the rebellion In the islnnds, the idea
being to reduce the military at homo
to such an extent as to give the Kepub-
licans almost free hand.
The Spanish regular army is only
about $50, 600 strong, and it is pro.
posed to send abont 100000 of that
number to Cuba shortly, thus leaving
only $4,000 to preserve order at home.
The Atlanta Constitution, writing on
this question, says: "The Repu bllcans
in Spain are already counting upon the
hchhIee VI lue oOVeTDmelt, and SlDcO
the recent shipments of soldiers to
Cuba there have been uprisings in va.
flous provinces. 1t would not be at all
surprising If the opponents OF the ex-
listing dynasty should inauguratc an ex
tensive revolution in the course of tho
next few weeks. The Spanish Govern
ment is in bad fix. If it let's Cuba
60, its enemies at home will make that
pretext for revolt If, on the other
hand, the bulk OF the army ia sent to
whip Cuba back into the traces, the
Spanish people will probably rise EN-
masse and establish republic. Almost
bankrupt, with small army and in
the midst OF domestic strife, it is diff
cult to see how Spain can suppress
the Cuban insurgents and at the same
time maintain her present Government
In power"
Under any and sll circumstances the
outlook, when viewed from the stand.
point OF the Spanish Government, is
anything but pleasant.
