SATURDAY EVENING. NOV. 10 1858

REASONABLE people do not COM
plain of horse racing anywhere, and as
betting is q natural consequence OF
such racing, the same sort OF people
are not disposed to censure 1t. But IL
it he crime to bet on horse race IN
Virginia. as the newspapers of Wash
ington, a year or two ago, said it was,
why should it be virtue TO bet on one
in the District of Columbia; as the
same papers now say it is. One OF
these papers says the only people con-
earned in tie Bsnnings racing, those OF
Wasbingtop, have raised no objection
to betting there, and that the thou
sands of dollars brought there by the
racing are spent in Washington. But
though the people OF Alexandria coun'
ty raised no objection to betting on
horse races in their county, where
s,me of the money brought there
by the racing was spent, the Wash
ington newspapers demanded its sup
preston, on the ground of mo
rality." Is it possible that the simple
TACT that all the money brought to Ben
uings is spent in Washington can have
made what was highly immoral in
Alexandria county, highly moral in the
District of Columbia?

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

1t is considered probable that the
United States may settle with Spain Oh
the basis of the value of the Maine, the
cost of the war and the future pension
roll as debit, with the value OF the
Philippines as credit.
A dispatch from Paris says: The
situation justifes the assertion that
peace is st least in sight. The execu-
ton of the treaty may be slightly de-
layed by possible change in the per
sonnet of the Spanish commission, but
the Madrid government has definitely
decided to accept the American terms,
or, rather, the best terms available.

Germany's Change of Attitude

LONDON, Nov. 19.-It has just been
learned that Intervention to save the
Philippines to Spain was recently i'm.
minent. This action was checked in
its inception by English and American
diplomatists acting together. 1t was
through their joint influence that Ger.
many withdrew her objection to the
American demands on Spain. This
partnership OF English and American
diplomatists against foreign interven.
lion in the affairs of the United States,
is the first practical working of the An
clio Saxon entente on equal terms.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times in reference to Germany's action
says: Two kindred nations possessing
together the greatest trade interests in
the world, know the best manner in
which to obtain the friendly acquies-
cence of the other powers in those ar
rangements in the far East, which con-
duce to the commercial advantage OF
