Seville, which in the sixteenth century could boast of sixteen thou- sand looms, bad in the reign of Philip V. less than three hundred. This was true of all the towns and of every branch of industry. So bad had matters become towards the close of the seventeenth century that it had become impossible to collect the taxes without the help of an armed force and the public executioner. In 1693 such was the poverty of the government that payment ot life pensions was suspended, and all officers and ministers of the Crown were mulcted of one-third of their salaries. In 1699 Stanhope, the British Min- ister in Madrid, writes that, ‘‘not a day passed but people were killed in the streets, scuflling for bread; that his secretary had seen five women stifled to death before a bakehouse, and that, to swell the catalogue of misery, twenty thousand additional beggars had just arrived in the capital from the surrounding districts.” Add to all this that Spain, recently so proud and so mighty, had neither troops nor ships nor fortresses, nor money with which to obtain them. Since then Spain has passed through the agony which succeeded the French revolution. Later she has lost almost all that once constituted the magnificent em- pire of the Indies, Again, and again, and agaia has she tried to put on her strength and enter upon a new career of vigor and pros- AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING.

Can it be wondered at that the birds of ill omen and the prophets of evil tidings should have been masters of the situation? There was good reason to believe that the worst that Buckle had said of Spain was true. To hope for her seemed useless. In spite, however, of all that was said, and much tothe astonishment of the nations, Spain has gone through a revolution bloodlessly and with great success. In the course of this revo- lution, which has lasted some ten months, she has deposed and banished her Queen, torn up the ancient dynasty by the roots, manufac- tured a new constitution, calmly discussed it and made it law, and otherwise conducted herself in a manner to command universal surprise and astonishment. Why is all this? men have begun to ask. The explanation is not, perhaps, so difficult to find as some imagine, The true character of the Spanish people has been concealed for many generations. Spain, one of the first countries in Europe to enjoy municipal institutions, has been without these institutions, not because she loves them not, but because she was denied them. The pecu- liar character of Spanish history had devel- oped the two principles of loyalty and reverence among Spaniards as they had been developed among no other people. The mon- arch and the Church were trusted, were obeyed without question, until the monarch and the Church became tyrants and Spain ceased to have a will or a thought of her own. In 1812 an effort was made to throw off the burden, but Spain was too weak to accom- plish it. In 1820 and 1836 the effort was re- peated, but still with comparative non-suc- cess. The seed, however, was annually being sown and was annually yielding a larger re- turn. The railroad, the telegraph, the print- ing press have come to the aid of the Spaniards as they have come to the aid of all the nationali- ties of Europe. Thought has been quickened and purpose has been strengthened. Spain has felt the impuise of the age, and having burst asunder the chains which loyalty and TRIPLE SHEET.

Comm 2tcial advices from Trinidad de Cuba of The Reconstruction of Spain—The Transe formation of Europe. Spain does well. What impartial onlooker, qualified to judge, can say she does not? When in September of last year the revolution in that country startled Europe and the world by its suddenness and completeness, birds of ill omen were numerous, so numerous that they darkened the heavens, and evil prophets, who were abundant, were loud-mouthed in their utterances of despair. Spain had abused her privileges. In that grand transition period when the old Roman empire had crumbled to pieces, and the modern States system was taking shape, Spain had a glorious opportu- nity, but she knew not how to turn it to ac- count, Succeeding as she did to the inheri- tance and prestige of the empire, it was simply a question how she should mould the world to her will. France and England were her only rivals, but France and England could only be formidable to her through union, and union, in consequence of jealousy, was impossible. When in 1516 Charles,V. became King of Spain as well as Emperor of Germany, the Moors had no longer a foothold on the Peninsula.

Spain, in fact, had no rival among the nations. By common consent she occupied the first place amoug the Powers of this earth, Under the reign of Charles, who gave to Spain the full benefit of the prestige of his imperial position, Spain had every opportunity that a nation could have to leave her impress upon the world. When Charles retired from the cares of State in 1556 and left Spain and her im- mense possessions to his son Philip IL, it had become the privilege of the Spanish monarch to boast, or for others to boast in his name, that the sun never set on his do- minions—a boast which it never had been the privilege of any monarch to make before him. The history of Spain, in fact, during the greater part of three long reigns, is a history of almost uninterrupted success. In 1478 the Peninsula was broken up into independent and hostile States, The Mohammedans occupied Granada, and Castile and Aragon were ruled by separate princes. Before 1590 divi- sions had disappeared and Spain had become a unit, powerful in herself and dangerous to the rest of Europe. Accessions were things of daily occurrence. By force or by diplomacy she had become mistress of Portugal, Na- varre and Roussillon; of Artois, Franche Comté and the Netherlands; of the Milanese, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands and the Canaries, One of her kings had, as we have said, been Emperor of Germany. Another had been husband of the Queen of England. The Turkish Power, which she had found so formidable, had been beaten back on every side, and mainly through her individual energy and perseverance. France had been humbled and a French king had actually been captured and led prisoner to Madrid.

So far Spain has done well. If she will only continue to give a little less loy- alty to the Executive and a little less rever- ence to the Church; if she will yield herself up a little more to the influence of the new re- ligion—the printing press, steam and elec- tricity—she will triumph in spite of her miser- able and discouraging past.

We publish this morning an interesting let- ter from R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, on the approaching Virginia reconstruction election, which is appointed for July 6. Mr. Hunter, it will be remembered, chafes under the new dispensation, and sighs over the woful over- throw of the old order of things, but wisely, nevertheless, recommends the unreconstructed Virginians of the old State rights school to ac- cept the situation and rally in their strength to recover the Stute—tht first essential step toa restoration of self-government, There is a fair prospect, too, of a decisive conservative vic- tory. The registered white voters of the State outnumber the blacks, if we are not mistaken, by over twenty thousand, and to all appear- ances the two parties are pretty closely di- vided upon the line of color, the white party and the black party, the latter under the man- agement chiefly of white carpet-baggers; the former representing nearly all the fixed white population, capital and landed property of the State. The election is called, first, for the ratifica- don of the constitution adopted by the radical convention of 1868, and upon several clauses of this constitution there will be a separate vote, as upon the disfranchisement of rebels, for instance; secondly, a full delegation to Congress is to be chosen; thirdly, Gover- nor, State ticket and Legislature, involving the election of two United States Senators. The canvass throughout the State has become exceedingly animated. In every county, city and hamlet mass meetings are the order of the day. Both candidates for Governor—Wells, the radical, and Walker, the conservative— are republicans, and both are carpet-baggers, The chances ap- pear to be decidedly in favor of the conserva- tives; but the Richmond Hnguirer (conserva- tive) says “‘the fortunes of the State are im- perilled by the depravity of a few thousand recreant white men, greedy for plunder, how- ever secured, and the contrariness of another few thousand reckless white men, ready to risk all to enjoy the privilege of pouting.” a death struggle between the white and black races they (these pouting, stay-at-home white men) wrap the drapery of their stainless gen- tility around them and superciliously announce that there is ‘no difference. may infer that, notwithstanding the vigorous and enthusiastic campaign of the conserva- tives, the issue still depends upon the balance of power held by the indifferent whites. must be brought up to the work. “In From this we They Tue Croton Water Case.—The case of Ballard against Gregory, the hotel keeper charged with fouling one of the sources of the Croton river, was promptly determined on Wednesday by the order commanding Gregory to disconnect his gas houses and other sources of impurity from the stream, and to keep them so disconnected forever. penalty is incurred for what has been done hitherto, as the Court could not find that the offence had been committed wilfully, the de- fendant swearing that effort was made to dis- pose of tue refuse in cesspools, and that the matter only reached the stream in consequence of a crevasse in one of his ditch embankments.

Political disturbances in Italy have for @ long time been the order of the day, and we have accounts of them from Sicily, Naples and in the North, thereby proving that discontent is generally prevalent. The Milanese and Genoese are acute and energetic people, and history has proved them to be the firat among the true patriots of their country. A so-called Mazzinian conspiracy was recently discovered in Milan, with ramifications throughout the country ; but that is not the tendency of the generality of Italian revolutionists. The true patriots of Milan and Genoa are not red republi- can, but rather reformists, and base their move- ments upon the manifest abuses that have ac- cumulated in the governmental system since Tl Re Galantuomo was elected King ot Italy. No king was, perhaps, ever welcomed with more enthusiasm than Vittore Emmanuele II. ; no royal family could have enjoyed more pop- ular prestige than that of Savoy. The Italians rejoiced in the hopes of a new existence and flattered themselves that official corruption had been banished with Francis II.; but the frequent application for loans and the con- tinued poverty of the treasury soon gave evi- dence to the contrary. Not even the conver- sion of the church property, in addition to the internal wealth of the country, and subse- quently the application of increased taxation, could supply the many wants called into exist- ence by the late wars, The people have shown great toleration and generally have subscribed willingly to the demands made upon them, in the hopes that a more prosper- ous period would soon dawn upon them. Now, however, the country is on the verge of bankruptcy, and, guided by the cecent events in Spain, and doubtless influenced by the re- sults of the French elections, the people are determined to effect a change for the better. There are plenty of good and able men in Italy who, if placed in office, could yet avert the pending calamity, and, warned by the people's voice, King Vittore could still save his dynasty. Tue Prope do not forget the obligations of the country to the soldiers—as we may see in the fact that the republican party in Ohio de- clares in its plattorm that it is in favor of the establishment of a Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home. Party promise indicates the direction of popu- lar purpose. Goop For Bovrson!—Another of the family has married an American girl. Governor GEary Up AGatn.—The re- publicans of Pennsylvania have renomi- nated Governor Geary as their candidate for Governor. He is the strongest man they have, He carried the State on a very full vote, in 1866, by twenty thousand majority. The democrats will have to put up a popular man of progressive ideas, a man who believes that there has been a deluge and that the democratic principles of 1860 are dead issues, orthey will be beaten again. The days of copperheadism came to an end last Novem- ber. But with a proper candidate on the living issues of the day the democrats may recover Pennsylvania even against Geary by a handsome majority. But if they try again their old copperhead fight they will again be swamped. an Notnine RemMarkasre,—It seems that a Bourbon in Europe has been going for an American. This is nothing remarkable. Americans have been going for Bourbon for many a long year. When tHe Cat's Away tHe Miog Wii. Pray.—It appears that while the Secretary of the Treasury was at the Boston Peace Jubilee, certain information as to his financial inten- tions a few days ahead leaked out of the de- partment and got into Wall street, whereby certain inside operators turned an honest penny or two very much to the disgust of the outsiders. If the Secretary of the Treasury cannot keep his financial secrets to himself he ought to give them to the newspapers, which Tue Hetcar or Bosron’s AmBItion— Swallowing the heights of Dorchester. Mean VENGEANCE.—It seems that a young man has been turned out of a place in the mortar and pestle department of the govern- ment because he chose to marry the innocent daughter of the unfortunate Mrs. Surratt. This shows a mean spirit of persecation on the part of the government authorities not unlike that which would not only have burnt poor old John Rodgers, but his wife and seven small children, ‘‘with one at the breast,” at the stake on account of the alleged heresy of the father. The American government should be above such paltry meanness and worse than inquisi- torial persecution. BerreR THAN THE PresipENoy.—A land suit has just been decided in a Chicago court by which ex-Governor Seymour comes in for a share of a million ot dollars. This is better than the Presidency. Besides, while the money is sure to make friends the Presidency is sure to make enemies. Hence a balance, socially and morally speaking, in favor of Seymour for not being elected President over Grant. Horrer THAN THE Weatien.—The politi- cal campaigns in Virginia and Tennessee. Gas.—Recently some one of the gas com- panies has been defrauded of something in the neighborhood of two and sixpence, by some sharp fellows who, having been pre- viously in the employment of the companies, know how to manipulate the meters. On the strength of this loss the companies would have the world believe that they have always been the victims of public dishonesty, and have suffered incalculable loss in their efforts to deal fairly. Tue Boarp or Hearn announces that the “rescue apparatus” which it approves can be purchased for twenty-seven dollars, and re- commends that every keeper of a waterside public resort supply his establishment with it.

The last monthly report of the Agricultursi Bureau at Washington gives us an encouraging exhibit of the crops of the present year, North and South, and from various other sources we have the same vheering reports. The wheat crop of the whole country will be a magnifi- cent one, much the largest, we expect, ever raised in the United States. The great Val- ley of Virginia reports five million bushels, which is a splendid yield; but California, with her fifty to sixty bushels to the acre, beats it all hollow. Of rye, barley and oats an ample general crop is fixed in the harvested or ripen- ing fields, A large breadth of land South has been planted in cotton, and notwithstanding the prevailing grumbling of ‘‘a bad stand,” “too much wet,” ‘drowned out,” “yellow cast,” “army worm,” &c., we shall most likely have a full average crop on the area planted. But we can learn nothing very definite about it, however, till the cotton begins to como to market; for it is the planter’s policy to keep up the price till compelled to sell on the basis of the supply. We do not blame the planter. We merely suggest that all this grumbling must be taken with a liberal sprinkling of salt. Of the small fruits, berries and cherries the general yield this year is something wonder- ful. The promise for the greatest and most important crop of all, the Indian corn crop, is upon the whole first rate, and so of potatoes, Irish and sweet, ‘‘garden sass” and everything else. Of the Northern hay crop, generally surpassing in cash value the Southern cotton crop, we hear no complaints, from which we infer the yield is something extra. We have, in short, the fairest prospect for a most glorious yield throughout the Union of all the fruits of the earth this season. Let the people, then, of Europe who are turning their faces this way come along. We have room enough and bread enough and work enough for all. Let the Secretary of the Treasury rejoice and perse- vere in his efforts to cut down the national debt; for the debt is but a bagatelle compared with the wonderful resources of the country. Our natural resources are greater than those of all Europe; our debt is less than that of England. ALABAMA—COoNGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS, — It seems the democrats and conservatives in Alabama are not inclined to nominate candi- dates for Congress in districts in which they are likely to be defeated. This is all wrong. They should make nominations in all districts if their candidates do not receive even a moiety of -votes. It is the only means of as- certaining ‘the relative strength of parties, and after election—if the democrats should be de- feated—it will serve a useful lesson for the future to dissect and analyze the vote. So far the democrats have made good selections, especially in the first district, in which an ex- Union officer, ex-revenue collector, a news- paper proprietor and a generally popular and worthy gentleman has been their nominee.
