The one thing which has prevented anarchy hitherto has been the power of the army. There are two units in Spain, The one is the Church, the other is the army. Both are formidable, Tho unity of the army made the revolution oasy.. The unity of the Church made the triumph of the revolution impossible. The two uniis remain. That of the Church is strong as ever. That of the army begins to show sigas of weak- ness and approaching dissolution, The break- ing up of the Church would be a blessing; but there is no power in Spain strong enough to accomplish so great a work, The breaking up of the army would be as great a blessing; and the ono hope for Spain now consists in the fact that such a breaking up is no longer an impossibility, If the people can only be roused up the presumption is that the soldiers will affiliate with the people, and that a revo- lution in the true sense will begin, The army oa the popular side Spain would enter upon a new Career, We cannot say, however, that we are san- guine of any happy results for that unhappy country, To our mind anarchy is more pro- bable than any other possible result, In that case Cuba may do what she will and go where she may, Don Carlos may ride in blood to the throno and re-establish the worst kind of des- potism, Isabella may return in triumph with all her satellites and with all her gins, The republicans may win the day; bat as France is now peculiarly combustible, Napoleon, we may rest assured, will do his best to make a Span'sh republic an impossibility, The state ‘3 in Spain at the present moment makes eedingly difficult to foresea any early or sulisfactory future, It is not inpossible that in their despair the present government may invite Prince Napoleon to the throne; but it is hard to beliove that the European govern- ments will consout to any such arrangement.

Our latest news from Spain is in perfect harmony with all we have been led to expect for months past. The Cortes have been for some weeks in session. The country, which was comparatively quiet until the Cortes met, has become uncontrollable since they began to eliberate. Insurrection has become general allover Spain. The Carlist element, so ag- gressive for a time, has quite disappeared, We hear nothing of Isabella, But the republi- cans, 80 vigorous in the firststages of the revo- lution and for a time so undemonstrative, have burst out in all—and apparently more than ali—their original force. The record of yesterday was alarming for Spain, and for the peace of Europe generally, but it was hopeful for the republican party, In Valencia, in Andalusia, in Aragon, in Catalonia, the insurgents—all of them republi- cans—had been up, and, although the govern- ment claims that at all points the insurgents bad been defeated, a large margin is left for | th who doubt and for those who believe, It is lamentable that after a year, during vhich Serrano, Prim, Topete and their friends | | have been absolute masters of the situation, Spain should now be in the helpless and hope- less condition in which we are compelled to | regurdher. What has the provisional govern- ment done? It has, with the assistance of the Cortes, in our judgment has been ab- whic | stitution—a constitution which looks very well | on r, but which cannot be said to ficant that the constitutional guaran- particular part of the new constitu- tion which the Spanish people cared anything n should once more be under martial law. It is not-lesa sig- nificant that while the government has been | going round Europe all that time offering a | crown not one has been found willing to accept the empty bauble. If anything were wanted to prove that the Spanish government | has been a miserable failure we should only Cuba, The condition of the island to-day isa disgrace to Spain, but it is | that after a year's progress | have to mentio: | who now ¢ According to | hourly expectation of a riot, | hands of the repub! | would follow? on | the destinies of that country, latest news Madrid was in Madrid in the fcans who can tell what from one end to the other, with an empty | exchequer, with numerous factions, all dis- vny true sense the Spanish people, | about, have been temporarily suspended, and | With the country up in arms’| Whether she is to perish there or to come out with a new life no one can tell, ¥eaterday’s Stato Lleetions, Gur returns and estimates so far received of the State elections of yesterday indicate that the republicans, on a short vote, have saved their distance in Penusylvania in the re- election, by a small majority, of Governor Geary over Asa Packer, and that they have probably defeated Pendleton, in Ohio, As to Indiana, Nebras! and = Towa wo are siill left to conjectures, and we con- jecture that Indiana, which was carried by only a thousand majority for the republicans October last on a very full vote, has probably gone democratic this year by default, The heavy republican majority in Towa and ia Nebraska last year, on the other hand, it is preity safe to say, has not been overcome, The general result, then, of all these elec- tions signifies that the two parties remain sub- stantially as they were. There are no signs of @ political reaction, The republican party, under the wing of General Grant's adminis- tration, holds its own. But for the democratic defection in Philadelphia, however, on the city ticket Geary would doubtless have been swamped by ‘General Apathy;" for outside of the city throughout the State the republi- cans have lost heavily. The sturdy Pennsyl- vanians of the rural districts, in their full strength, will not tura out on a purely local election, no matter how earnestly the poli- ticians labor to make it an affair of national importance. The elections of yesterday, then, including Pennsylvania, may be dismissed with the conclusion that they indi- cate no change in the public sentiment to the prejudice of General Grant's administration, but that the two partica remain substantially as they stood fast year, including the vote held in reserve, and which will be brought out next year in the elections for a new Congress, Tue Business Szason.—Read tho Heratp's advertisement columns, They are full of inte- resting information on all branches of business, including household affairs, situations wanted, boarders and boarding houses, hotels, business opportunities, things for sale and things wanted, real estate, &c., for sale and to let, in city and country; auction sales, loan offices, steam- ships, instruction, dry goods, &c., &c.—a volume in itself of most interesting and valua- ble intelligence; a graphic and indispensable business panorama of this great city hive of industrious bees; “a map of busy life;” a | general business agent, serving everybody in regard to everything touching the substantial, every-day affairs of the individual, the family, the company, (he society, the corporation, the State and the Union, at home and abroad.

The journal the OUTUBER 13, 18 Lord Clarendon’s Groat Specch. Lord Clarendon, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, delivered lately a very able, comprehensive and significant speoch to the West Hertfordshire Agricultural Society, Onthis occasion he may he regarded as the mouthpiece of the Ministry, and his speech was made, no doubt, with the view of defining the general policy of the government both on domestic and foreign questions. Like the oracular declarations on particular occa- sions of the Emperor Napoleoa, Count Bis- marck, Boust and other great statesmen of Europe, it has a remarkable significance, and foreshadows tho future, Itis a speech not merely for the Hertfordshire farmers, but for tho British nation and the world, Lord Clarendon stands in the first rank of European statesmen, and, while ho is the highest type of the English aristocracy, his. mind is broad and liberal enough to comprehend the progressive spirit and necessity of the age. On the Irish land question he shows that the government is intent on making reforms, and that it is absolutely necessary to do so. Whilo he compliments the House of Lords on its ability, he fa severa on its excessive and imprudent conservatism, He tells the men of his own order in the Houso of Peers that they must learn and conform to the spirit of the age. The House of Lords, he tells them, has been reproached, and that with reason, ‘with not going fast enough; that it did not, in fact, seiza the realities of public opinion, and was not alive enough to the enor- mous progress—the astounding progress—of intellectual activity in everything which distinguishes the age. in which we live, and which makes us live @ century in thirty years.” This is remarkable language in & peer of the realm, and, looking at his posi- tion in the government, indicates that England is about to make great strides in tho way of improvement and progress. Wo need not recapitulate the language of his lordship, That was given in the columns of the Hrrarp yes- terday, and itis only necessary to call atten- tion to it. There is, however, one other sub- ject which may bo noticed particularly, and that is the politioal situation of Europe gene- rally. ‘I have beea,” he says, “for some time on the Continent, and I returaed last week. I had there tho opportunity of collecting opinions, and I have seen there some persons who exercise no little influence on the destinies of Europe (an evident allusion to his inter- views with Napoleon), and although I have not the gift of prophecy, though I do not pre- tend to see further into futurity thaa other men, yet [ cannot help, on this occasion, oxpressing my belief that at ne time within the last three years—at no time since the war between Prussia and Austria—have we had a fairer prospect of maintaining the inestimable blessings of peace.” Lord Clarendon was fresh, as he saya, from the Continent, where he had prolonged interviews with the Emperor Napoleon, and therefore we conclude he is well informed as to the prospect of peace. He was not likely to be deceived, and his opinion on this subject ought to have great weight with the public. Taking this speech altogether it is one of the ablest and most significant that has been delivered by any European atatesman for some time past, Our Candidate for the Papal Succession. Father Hyacinthe is the man for the next Pope, For some hundreds of years the Church has had no such chance to put itself in grand relation with the spirit of the age by the mere choice of a sincere and earnest spirit for its earthly head than it has now, if it will have the boldness, the scorn of the pitiful and the perception of its mission in the world that it must have to exalt this simple friar to the seat of St. Peter. Hyacinthe is the man who can revivify her dying body and make her once more a power that the world can accept and bow to; for he is a man who would magnify the apostolical mission as apart from politics and small statecraft and priestly abuses, and this would show that the field for the true labors of the Church in the world is greater and more promising than ever. Had tho Church an- ciently adopted the policy of making Popes of the great reformers that have arisen in her history, like Luther; had she thus disposed herself to purge away accumulated errors rather than adhering with the greater tenacity to the evils that had overgrown the good within ber, how different would have been her attitude before the world to-day! Is it too late to begin to be wise? Is Rome the only city that will not learn of the march of time ? Nor Muon ora Saow.—At the meeting of the Episcopal Board of Missions in this city the other evening Mr. Denison, of the Foreign Committee, reported conceruing the society's missions in China, Afriva, Greece, &e., that the mission force was thirty-seven, that (for the last year we suppose) the baptisms were sixty-six and the confirmations forty-seven. Not quite two accessions to the Church for each missionary is a sorry exhibit, especially as the year's expenses of the Board wi $125,000, If the Episcopal Church, however, is rich enough through iis members to indulge in these costly and profitless labors among the heathen, what right have outsiders to com- plain? re Tae Unperorounp Ratrroap.—lIt is aatia- in question could not have labored more | zealously for Fisk, Corbin and Company had it been hired by them for the job, Bigelow, it is surmised, lost his head as the | pilot of the 7imes by spoiling an article from | Corbin intended for the gamo of the ring; but was any one of the free trade poeta of the Poat in the Figk-Corbin ring?

Our government practically says no National Banking act, prohibiting national banks | posed to labor for thelr own selfish ends, wo | to this point, and our courts cannot accopt from loaning to any one individual more than one- tenth of the amount of the capital stock of the bank, did not invalidate such contract, but subjects banks to the forfeiture of their franchises, Governor Hofman has divevted that @ general | have no choice but pronounce the revolution ! an unqualified failure, | The present state of things cannot much \ longer continue.

Ayornrr Farry.—Apropos to the comple- tion of the new market at the foot of East Six- teenth street, a new ferry is promised from tho immediate neighborhood of the market to the upper part of Brooklyn, that now obstructs the foot of Tenth street, Te CANADIAN Momso JumBo,—They have just had another Fenian scare in Canada, and the loyal volunteers throughout the province are under orders to hold themselves in readi- ness for immediate service, Some Irish wag, we fear, has been frightening her Majesty's Kanucks with a mysterious handbill posted up on some street corner, The Mormons? Application for Admission | Mr. Dickens on as @ State. The close proximity of the line of the Pacific Railroad to the contre of Mormonism lias tended fn a great measure to remove the isolation which the laborious apostle of tho Mormons thought necessary for the estab- lishment of his peculiar sect. Far removed from the large and prosperous cities of the United States, Brigham Young flattered him- self that he could there establish a colony and found @ sect which recognized polygamy not only as lawful, but as a thing to be cherished and cultivated. With this object in view the Mormon apostle sought in the far West a wilderness, and, after years of patient toil, through his exertions and the labors of his followers, he has made a barren waste blogsom like the rose, In the meantime, how- ever, while Utah was being improved, and the industry of its inhabitants was everywhere making {tself ovident, tho vast flow of emigra- tion to the United States, the rapid develop- ment of tho republic and the increasing pros- perity of the nation were exercising their influence throughout the land, So lexg as the tide of progross flowed not towards Utah all went well for the Mormon territory and tho prophet; his high priests and faithful follow- ers remained secure in their remotencss, With the laying down of the Pacific Railroad the speck, no bigger than a man’s hand at first, commenced to increase, and Brigham Young feared for the Eden which in his mind he had conceived, by his encrgy brought into existence, and which wea made rich by the Such a ferry would | well supply the place of the public nuisance | labor of his followers, Perceiving in the progress and growth of the States that the institutien which has cost him so much labor of thought and action stands in danger, Brigham Young has resolved upon a course of action which must prove a failure, On the Gth instant the semi-annual Mormon Conference assembled in Salt Lake City. All parts of the Territory were repre- sented. The period was thought a fittiag occasion to lay the subject of application for admission as a State into the Union beforo the people, With this object in view a committee was appointed to me- morialize Congress on the subject. Tho document drawn up embodies the substance of the petitions sent to Congress in 1856 and 1862, which were never brought to a vote in the House, The memorial claims prece- dence for Utah of the other Territories ad- mitted into the Union with fur less order of government and general resources, and com- plains particularly of the practice of the United States in appointing officers from dis- tant States who are unacquainted with the necessities of the people, The preceding is the substanco of the memo- rial to be presented to the United States Con- gress at its next session. The fact of it emanting from one hundred and fifty thousand people anxious for self-government entitles it to thoughtful consideration, It cannot, how- ever, be forgotten that the most prominent plank in the platform of the Mormon creed, polygamy, is one which is not only condemned by the whole people of the country, but by the civilized world, The Mormon leaders well un- derstand that if Utah shall be admitted into the family of States, with its system of polygamy, they can regulate matiers to suit themselves. The laws relating to marriage at the present time are different in many of the States, and that there is no general law on the subject is to bo regretted. That polygamy should be recog- nized and ganctioned is a little too much of a good thing in this age, notwithstanding that the application comes from a large body of people ina section of the country which they have made fruitful and productive. The posi- tion of the Mormons we regard as untenable, They cannot be admiited as long as they posses3 their present system, The country, however, looks for some action on the subject from Congress. Special legislation should be taken, and the Mormon chief should be given to understand that the sooner he puts his house in order the better and make his preparatioas to move, If Mormonism is to flourish it must do so outside of the American Union, The system is one that cannot be recognized, Arter THE Storm Comes Tae Catm.—And soitis in Wall street. But those unsetiled balances of that awful Friday still hang like a cloud over the bewildered bulls and bears. Nobody knows anything among them as to what these balances are, nor what will be the consequences of unearthing thom. We sus- pect, however, that as the lawyers have been called in they will weigh and divide the cheese among themselves. As to the chances of the Grand Jury catching any of the spread eagles, loons or lamo ducks, we think they are very small, Anyhow, we are quite sure that the best or the worst of this late Wall street day of high poker is yet to come, BrooxiyN—The noisy smash up of the Citizens’ Reform Association on Monday night. If, however, there are some honest materials left among the fragments ‘why not pick the flint and try it again?” Tury Give Ir Up.—The owners of certain lots of whiskey and cigars seized as contra- band in this city lately, amounting to a con- siderable sum, give it up, These seizures include forty barrels of whiskey and some seven thousand cigars, picked up at various points along the wharves and elsewhere. No claimants appearing when called for, the goods were by Judgo Blatchford condemned. The owners no doubt had ciphered it out that it would be cheaper to forfeit the goods than to stand a trial, and so they go into the public treasury, Thus it pays to follow up these whiskey and tobacco rings, and honest men rather like it, Let the work progress, Iv rn# Honser is now in the hands of the the United States authorities by the purpose of the Cuban Junta, and with a view to making a case to commit us to a judicial recognition of Cuban belligerency, it is a great mistake that she was not first run down to the Ever Faithful Island and then run into Wilmington hailing from a Cuban port, Ter standing would then have been strong on at least one point, Too Mcvon Govunnment.—Five and a half million dollars for the government of Kings county for one year indicates that that district | Ts governed altogether too well for the interests of the people, though it makes a splendid thing for the office-holdera, Bducation and Popolat Out West they recognize, in an intellectual way principally, what they call ‘horse sense.” They mean thought whose hard lines, plain force and perceptible application to the case in hand sane men will not dispute. This is the sort of sense that distinguishes the recent address of Mr. Dickens at an educational in- stitution in Birmingham, Unlike many utter- ances of this gentleman that we have had occasion to refer to, there is not a particle of the cockney in it; on the contrary, it breathes the tone of sturdy independence of spirit that is especially commendable in men who have something to say, and being doubtfnl whether it is quite In harmony with tho fancies of all the world and his wife, yet boldly say it be- cause they have faith in it, The best part of the address is the allusion to the so-called materialism of this age, and the defence of the age from the charge that it studies material facts too cxclusively—a charge mainly mado by worthies who never studied anything else but metaphysical specula- tion, Mr, Dickens is supposed to have utterod arrant heresy against popular progress in his declaration that his ‘faith in the people governing was infinitesimal—his faith in the people governed infinite.” This glittering generality is one of the platitudes that bril- liant men are apt to deliver when they give way to tho temptation to bo sententious, For what are the people governed but the people submitting quietly to wholesome rule, and whose faith in such a people is not infinite? If by what he says of the “people governing” ho means that they are not competent to make their own rules, why that is the view of one who ought to be better taught. He should consider the magnificent example of ‘ihe people governing” in this city, and get better opinions, Tue Reason.—Horace Greeley and Pro- fessor Perry discussed in Boston the other night the relative merits of protection and free trade; and it was quite natural that Greeley was not able to state the merits of his case without considering its relations to the dead and gone institution of slavery. His “argument” points to the reason for his views. He is a protectionist because the slaveholders were free traders, “Tim Nearors Genrrat.y Vorep Wit tag Demoorats.”—Such is the report of the Savan- nah city election. In the fact stated it will be seen that the Southern democracy are begin- ning to understand their true game, It is to -get the negro vote; and they can get it, if they try, everywhere South, because everywhere— having the land and ‘those mules”—they can outbid the ‘‘carpet-baggers.” Nine Mittions per annum has been tho rate of the earnings of the Pacific Railroad since its opening; and of this over three millions are profit, which will give a hand- some revenue above the interest on its debts and subsidies. Por anp Kerrir.—It is a funny thing to see the World reading a moral lesson to the Sun for the mean and contemptible character of its assaults on Grant. How long is it since the World found Grant guilty of every possi- ble and conceivable crime because his name was Hiram? Koormansomap is evidently a great mer- chant. He perceives that the principle of trade is to change the place of commodities from where they are plentiful, and therefore cheap, to where they are scarce, and therefore dear; and he proposes to apply this principle on a large scale to laboring humanity, WASHINGTON.

It is understood that that official concurs in the view held by Mr. Sargent that such fees are unconstitutional, but the only question ts whether the Treasury officials have any aguthor- ity over the subject, Collectors in demanding such fees act as agents of States or municipal corpo- rations, and not as federal oiicials; theretore it is anice point whether the Secretary of the Treasury has aright to interfere at all. The Solicitor ts un- derstood to hold that collectora have no mght to withhold a@ ship’s papers until payment of harbor masters’ fees, and for (ils reason he may give an opinion favorable to Mr. Sargent’s position.
