The Spanish Revolution—Its Latest Phase— The Situation Critical. All our latest news from Spain is of a piece, The revolutionary movement pro- gresses, but daylight is not near, It is impos- sible to doubt that matters must be worse before they can be better in that unhappy land. Allimmediate hope of ‘durable tran- quillity, of temperate freedom,” must now, we fear, be abandoned. Spain stands on the verge of a gulf not dissimilar to that on which stood France on the eve’ of the outbreak of 1789. There are no doubt points of differ- ence; but it may safely be said that a Spanish republic in 1870 is a much more likely thing than was a French republic in 1792. It is just as certain that a Spanish republic cannot be reached but by a pathway of blood. It now appears that Valencia, after all, has not given up the struggle. Late advices have it that when the government troops entered the city they were received by the insurgents with volleys of musketry, and that, the fire being returned, the fight commenced more fiercely than ever. The republican leaders Salvochea and Guillen have been killed, and the Regent thanks the army through Prim for ita loyalty and services, Yt is added, however, that the garrison of San Mattev meditated going over in a body to the in- surgents. The conspiracy, it is true, was discovered and frustrated, but the great fact remains that the army is not fully satisfied. This news will fly over Spain, and we may expect at any moment to learn that defection has become general. If anything were needed to prove that the present government has been reduced to almost the last extremity it is furnished by the letter which we pub- lished yesterday from our special corres- pondent at Madrid. Our correspondent finds it next to impossible to have any news transmitted by telegraph. Our money has been taken, but our telegrams have been garbled or retained. The extremity of the situation is equally illustrated by the blood- thirsty spirit revealed in Prim’s instructions to the Captains General. When terror reigns, when truth is so much dreaded, when the national exchequer is empty and when money cannot be raised on any terms, the end cannot be far off. It is difficult to conceive of a great nation, as Spain at Jeast ought to be, in more wretched circumstances. A great opportunity has been lost; and the absolute failure of Prim, Serrano and their friends, which is still very probable, will have few parallels in the whole range of history. Although we have given up all hope of any good being done by the present government, we have not given up all hope of the Spanish people. We do not despair of their final suc- cess. They have all through behaved well. They were patient under Isabella so long as patience was possible, They trusted the revo- lutionary leaders, In spite of the republican sentiment with which a large section of the Spanish people are imbued they acqniesced in the regency. They were willing to hope, but hope has been turned to bitter disappointment. Promise has been abundant, but fruit has been nowhere. Patience is now exhausted, and the Spanish people begin to give promise that they mean to think for them- selves, and that, in spite of priest or army, Two supposed slaves were found yesterday stowed they may make the revolution a success. [t will not be wonderful if Barcelona, Cadiz, Malaga and the other large cities swell the ranks of revolution, and by giving the army too much to do break it up. The San Matteo affair proves that such a breaking up is no longer an impossibility. If only the people could find a leader—such a man as Cromwell, for example, or Napoleon—Spain might emerge from this revolutionary crisis stronger than she has been for centuries, The defect of the revolution hitherto has been that it has failed to develop men of any calibre. In the strife, which in our judgment is now imminent, this defect may be supplied. The republican party has surely a man to set against Prim. It is undeniable that the present anti-gov- ernment movement is republican, We hear nothing of Carlists, nothing of Isabellinos. It has all along been held by a certain class that Spain had no sympathy with republican principles.. This opinion was encouraged by the facility with which the government carried all its measures in the Cortes, It is notorious, however, that all the power of the government was put forth to prevent the republican party from having a majority in the Cortes, and that the republican element in the’ Chambers was no test of the republican strength in the country. Since 1848 the workingmen of the northeast of Spain have become republicans almost to a man; and it was stated recently at the Bile Workingmen’s Congress that the Spanish workingmen’s associations could boast of one hundred and twenty-five thousand members. The priests and Napoleon are the two great enemies to a Spanish republic, and both for the most selfish reasons; but it is not impossible that an outburst may take place soon which will imperil both the Church and the empire. Unquestionably Spain has a hard road to travel, but her condition: is not yet hopeless. The Case of the Cuban Privateer. The Cuba, or Hornet as she was called, has been surrendered to the United States and the Cuban flag hauled down, The United States Marshal boarded her and demanded the sur- render, Upon Captain Higgins, of the Cuba, declining to surrender, except to an officer of the United States Navy and under a direct order from the President, Lieutenant Com- mander Peirson, of the gunboat Frolic, went on board the Cuba and produced the order direct from the President. Captain Higgins gave up his vessel and his sword, and is now a prisoner under the naval authorities. The despatch from Wilmington says the Cuba has been libelled, but we have no details as to the legal proceedings in the case, if there were any, or as to the precise ground on which she was libelled. To libel a vessel is simply to charge her with something against the laws and placing her under the authority of the government libelling her until the case can be tried by the courts in the regular way. But it appears that the flag of the Cuba was hauled down and her captain arrested by an order direct from the President. From this it seems that the Executive has taken the matter out of the hands of the legal authori- ties. -However, the despatch is not clear, and we must wait for further informa- tion before forming an opinion in the matter or commenting on the action of the government. The only important fact estab- lished is that this Cuban privateer has been seized and is held for a violation of the laws, Whatever may be the legal features of the case hereafter to be developed, or whatever may be the result when a trial takes place, the vessel is prevented from doing any service for the Cubans. While we may condemn the government for its shortsighted policy or timidity with regard to Cuba, we suppose it has acted in this case upon sufficient evidence. With all our sympathy for the Cubans and wish to see the United States govern- ment take a bold and decisive course to secure their independence, we cannot help thinking Captain Higgins and the Cubans have foolishly and prematurely thrown a responsi- bility upon our government which compels it to act against its wishes in defending its honor and international obligations. We would rather have seen this privateer afloat and doing good service for the Cuban cause; but a great nation like the United States, when forced into such a position, must observe the laws. The Cuban Junta, or agents of the Cuban government here, show little ability. Nor do the crowds of young Cubans in this country show by their acts that ardent patri- otism they talk sé much about, for instead of loafing away their time here they should be fighting for their country. How truly the poet expresses it when he says, Hereditary bondsmen! know ye not, Who would be free Uietiselves must strike the blow? However, these temporary misfortunes may be but as a passing shadow. They may lead the Cubans to renewed energy, and the United States to a more positive policy soon in favor of Cuban independence. Though the Hornet is seized, other vessels with expeditions and supplies are running into Cuban harbors. There is reason to believe the brave Captain Harris, who sailed with the Lilian about the same time the Hornet was at sea, has landed his valuable cargo on the island. The reverses the Cubans may meet with—and great re- verses are incident to all such movements— should have the effect only of stimulating them to greater energy and determination. Tre Srrvation in Paraguay.—The news which we publish this morning from our special correspondents in South America cor- roborates the views we have taken regarding the condition of President Lopez. After snffer- ing almost innumerable defeats he is still in a position to face the enemy. ‘The allies have abandoned the pursuit, and Lopez, safe for the present from molestation, no doubt will improve his chances to strengthen his army by fresh accestions of men and war material. Tae Sraxisn Government orders three thousand additional troops to Cuba. Is the government really getting the better of the insurrection at home, or is the Cuban rein- forcement story merely a ‘‘make believe ?" Tne First Syow Stonm.—St. Louis, of all our great cities, carries off this fall the prize of the first snow storm. They had a snow storm there on Tuesday last, continuing from seven in the morning till noon, The old weathercocks say that this early beginning of snow is a sign of a rough winter, OCTOBER 21, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. How Napoleon Holds the Reds "=A Freneh Revolution Postponed, The French democrats and revolutionary “reds” have, as we are assured by cable te!e- grams and our special correspondence by mail from Europe, abandoned tho idea of their grand legislative oppositionist demonstration in Paris on the 26th instant, The programme of the movement was duly prepared, but has not, it appears, been perfected, for the simplo reason that the chief actors did not feel them- selves quite ‘up to” the parts in which they were likely to be cast, the managers becoming convinced at the same time that the play was old-fashioned and not likely to ‘‘draw.” The fact is it was not popular. The Paris press, 80 far from “‘puffing” the enterprise, came out flatly against it, the Avenir National—the only sincere paper, it may be, of the republican organs—pronouncing it ‘useless, inopportune and susceptible of ending fatally.” It was shown, indeed, that it was more than ‘‘sus- ceptible,” if that is the word, of producing very unpleasant results ; for we find that the democratic republican “reds” were assaulted and “very roughly handled” by the populace after the adjournment of a preliminary meet- ing. The Parisians, in truth, are out of tone with trading agitators and émeutes made to order or undertaken in the interest of foreign government intriguers. They have become commercial, trading and shop-keeping. They invest their money in the funds and savings banks, and find thatit pays better in such shape than it would when in the pantaloons pockets of the political “leaders.” The Paris Pays, indeed, tells us so in the following words :— “When an émeute is likely to cost something more than a box at the Opera Comique the Parisian keeps aloof; and if the disturbance is likely to interfere with the sale over the coun- ter, and, by frightening the bill discounters, imperil the monthly settlement, he becomes ferocious against the disturber of order. In 1848 the grocers dispersed the bands. who perambulated the streets to the tune of the Lampions, and the last riots on the Boulevard owed their repression to the resistance of the proprietors and waiters of the cafés, whose receipts were reduced to zero by the row.” The sales ‘‘across the counter” and the “monthly settlement” speak the whole story, particularly “‘the monthly settlements.” Since the establishment of the empire under Napo- leon Ill. the French government has asked six loans from the French people, embracing the period from the year 1854 to 1866-67. The first, in 1854, was for two hundred and fifty millions of francs; in 1855 two loans, amounting in the total to twelve hundred mil- lions, the entire aggregate of the six footing up the enormous sum of two thousand six hundred and ninety millions of francs. The French people supplied the cash so freely that on different occasions the doors of the places of ‘‘inscription” had to be closed by the police against persons wishing to invest after the required sum had been obtained. Then, again, we find that in 1868 the total interest payable on French rentes yearly was 343,544,505 francs, and that the holders of scrip numbered 100,095,683. This is the real secret of how Napoleon, with all his faults and the coup d'état, holds the ‘‘reds”—not in personal fetters of ateel, as in the days of the Bastile—but by warping French society against them in delicate, wavy threads of gold. The “reds” do very little work and consequently have very little cash to “inscribe” in any useful investment, and just so far the Emperor and the people repudi- ate them. France has had about enough of revolution. An old Asiatic tiger hunter at Singapore, having been severely wounded in a struggle with one of the animals, gave up tiger huating immediately after his escape, remarking to his friends, who advised him to continue the exercise, ‘Tiger hunting is a very fine sport so long as you hunt the tiger, but when the tiger begins to hunt you it is very bad sport indeed.” Such is the situation, as it appears te ra, in France. The Late Louisville Commercial Conven- tion—Asking Too Much. General Walbridge, in his speech on Tues- day, before the Chamber of Commerce at Cin- cinnati, gave an account of the proceedings of the recent Louisville Convention. He de- scribed this Convention as national in its character, embracing delegates from every State in the Union. Among the prominent sentiments which he said prevailed in the Con- vention was one that the public debt should be paid as it was stipulated when contracted, This, however, may mean anything or nothing. Another was that the South had been im- poverished by the rebellion, and that she should be aided by the general gov- ernment 80 as to develop her natural resources, Such, be declared, was the unanimous opinion of the Convention, and to this end, he added, it was decidedly in favor of opening a water line communication between the Ohio and the Atlantic, of recon- structing the levees on the Mississippi, of giv- ing aid to the steam lines projected between Southern ports and Europe and of aidiog in the construction of another continental rail- way. Now, we must respectfully submit that all this is asking a little too much, Desirable as the accomplishment of these various objects may be, to demand it from government now, while laden with the present huge bur- den of debt, is at least inopportune. If the people of Virginia and Ohio cannot together effect the completion of the canal from Lynchburg across the Alle- ghanies to the Ohio they will have to wait. If the estates along the Mississippi are not valuable enough to raise loans upon for the building of levees the owners of the estates will also have to wait. Similar patience must be exercised by the projectors of steam lines from Southern ports to Europe, if private enterprise prove unequal to the task of estab- lishing them. And as for extending govern- ment aid to another continental railway, we understand that all that is wanted by General Fremont, who is at the head of the Southern Pacific Railway enterprise, is the right of way through the public domain, Doubtless this will be accorded through Arkansas, the Indian country, New Mexico and Arizona, and Texas will make ample donations for the purpose, while the Californians will do their share towards com- pleting the road commenced at San Diego, But it is out of the question to talk of additional grants of government bonds in aid of railways, canals, steam lines and levees. What has been done for the Pacific Railroad must suffice for the present, President Grant has clearly intimated that this is the case, and that our first object should be to lighten instead of increasing the burden of public taxes. We repeat that the Louisville Convention asks too much. The South is getting on very well with its cotton crop of and its sugar and tobacco crops. We rejoice in the returning prosperity of the Southern people, and we believe that the time has come for them to help themselves, Father Hyncinthe=The Puritans After Him, The Puritan pastors of Boston had a meet- ing the other evening in the Meionaon (what- ever that may be), to consider the propriety of inviting Father Hyacinthe to the hospitalities of ‘the Hub.” They had prayer, after which the Rev. Gilbert Haven, D. D., explained the object of the meeting, remarking, in conclu- sion, that “it was not known that Father Hyacinthe had left the Catholic Church ;” that “all that they knew was that he had takena very bold step and had incurred the displeasure of the Pope, and if welcomed here (in Boston) it might lead him further in the good work.” Some discussion followed as to the form of the proposed invitation, whether it should be by committee or by letter, and whether on reii- gious or patriotic considerations; but it was at length agreed to appoint a committee of five parsons, one from each of the denomina- tions in the meeting, to confer with Father Hyacinthe, and so a committee of nine was appointed. But we apprehend that this com- mittee will not make much out of Father Hyacinthe. As friends he will receive them kindly, but as heretics he will dismiss them. He believes in the holy Catholic Church; but he wants it to go forward in the light of the nineteenth century, and not backward to the Council of Trent and the dark ages, If the Puritans of Boston can get up and send forward a committee of Catholics to wait upon Father Hyacinthe they may capture him; but a committee of Roundheads will not answer, Upon the whole, however, we think that the best thing the Boston Puritans and our Protestant friends generally can do with Father Hyacinthe is to let him alone. His battle is inside the lines of the Catholic Church, and until this conflict shall have been decided, for him or against him, all Protestant intru- sions upon him will be impertinent if not offensive. Important Discoveries iu the Colorado Country. Among the recent arrivals at Washington we regard as the most important that of Colonel Samuel Adams, in the service of the War Office, from a “prospecting” tour of four years, with a party of eleven men, in the Colo- rado country. We mean the,extensive region on the western flank of the Rocky Mountains drained by the tributaries of the great Colo- rado of the West—a region from north to south through Colorado Territory, the north- west corner of New Mexico, and into the heart of Arizona, of some seven hundred miles in length, with a width of three or four hundred miles. This region, from 1845, when firat crossed by Fremont in the north, to this time, has been crossed at various points by Gunnison, Simpson, Sitgreaves and other government explorers going west in search of a route for a Pacific railroad; but it was reserved for Colonel Adams to explore it from north to south, and with a special eye to the resources of this interesting region. Where Fremont crossed it in 1845, between latitudes thirty-eight and forty north, he has left upon the map this endorsement :—‘‘Ele- vated plains, fertile, gently rolling, with fresh water lakes and timber.” In the report of Simpson's detour further south, 1849, we have numerous illustrations of ancient ruins, inscrip- tions, paintings and pottery in the Cajion de Chaco and Caiion de Chelly, tributaries of the Colorado, On the line of Sitgreaves’ tour of 1852 in the valley of the Colorado Chiquita, another tributary of the great Colorado, we have the localities marked of numerous ruins, “San Francisco Forest,” springs, &c. Colonel Adams from north to south has crossed all these lines of exploration, and discovered an extent and variety of natural resources in the country “‘prospected” hitherto unknown, He found rich gold mines that can be worked all the year round, and in the central portions of Arizona and New Mexico he found the richest country he has ever seen. He saw there wild wheat, rye, oats and barley growing six feet high, and ruins of ancient cities built of stone, fortifications, canals and abandoned mines, The party also discovered oil wells, tar wells, and salt and coal in abundance, and in one section forests of splendid timber sufficient to supply all the wants of the timberless regions of Southern Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona, which are now supplied from Oregon by way of the Pacific and the Gulf of California and lower Colorado river. Here, then, on the western flanks of the Rocky Mountain chain w» have resources suf- ficient to make of the Teritories of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizont rich and prosperous States in agricultural products and manufac- tures. While, therefore, the lofty tablelands on both sides of the great caiion of the main Colorado for a hundred or hundreds of miles may be worthless, as described by Professor Powell, it is disclosed by Colonel Adama that eastward among the tibutaries of the Colo- rado there is an extentive region which may be pronounced among tle richest in the Union in its natural products, vith the finest climate in the world. Thus, in the course of the de- velopment of this beautiful mountain country, every opening in the clasm of the Colorado torrent may be filled wit: mills, foundries and factories, and the torrent jiself may be made available for transportaton to the sea, Such is the value of tie intelligent explorer of unknown lands in thyse days of the pro- gress and expansion « the civilized races of the earth; and stil, within the spacious boundaries of the United States, we have much to learn, leaving Alasks, from the report of General Thomas, as only fit to be left out in the cold. Mayor Hatt to Homon Greetey.—Read the Mayor's letter elsewlere in these columns. The Mayor has these advantages over his adversary :—He does net lose his temper, and ho is always witty, sparkling and entertaining, while Greeley, in his efforts to be serious and impressive, is apt to be dull, or somewhat too free in offensive epithete withal. —_—-———— What the Canadinns Hayo to Sufler—The Union Still Open to Thom. The people of the New Dominion have been frequently invited to come into the Union and be thus completely reconstructed as free American citizens under tho flag of the United States. We have ourselves advised them to this step on many and divers occasions, and have been rejoiced, on account of the Canadians themselves and their worldly future, to hoar frequently and from reliable sources that our advices have been favorably received generally in the territory. The complete fruition has, how- ever, been always retarded by some out- side foreign event, such as the arrival of Prince Arthur, the tour of the Mohawks to meet him, a plan of some English loan to the Grand Trunk Railroad, or the arrangement of avisit of the entire Anglo-Canadian Cabinet to London, where its members are, for the most part, merely permitted to warm them- selves—Canadians can do it after the home cold—in the outside corridors leading to the Foreign Office, Downing street. This is really to be regretted ; for the Cana- dians may just as well have an American citizen vote, with the fun, and, perhaps, profit of casting it, as be made to take an involun-~ tary part in all our great election con- tests, Presidential and in New York city and State, without any collateral advantage, They are in this dificult and embarrassing situation just at present. We are about to have “a good time” at our election next month, and just for the reason that we are the ‘‘Toronto field battery is ordered out," and ‘‘kits” and “‘pro- visions” and ‘‘guns” and “stores” fit for the use of a fine army are lying about that city for miles. Gunpowder is handled as if it were perfumed snuff; Kingston is in arms, and every young British trumpeter on this side the ocean is busy practising to sound the ‘‘advance” and “charge” for the use of the regular troops, tooting out the “retreat” for the locals and volunteers, Two royal gunboats, fully armed and equipped, are running round the lakes ; the militia are hurrying off to Goderich, while Prince Arthur has assumed a sort of amphibious and neutral position on the Lower Ottawa, Here we have a regular Canadian flurry, and all because New York is about to have an election, and that certain Irish-American gen- tlemen are very anxious to be elected, requiring only a little more cash just ‘to carry the thing right through.” They appear likely to have it, and a good deal of it, t.0, soon, as they have chartered and armed the gunboat Sunburst— “what's in a name?”—to be despatched to Canada to look for it and carry it back—all in Canadian silver. Much better for the Cana- dians they were in the *‘ring" themselves, as they will be some fine morning or other. What ticket will they hold? THE TENNESSEE SENATORSULP.—Two ballots were had by the Tennessee Legislature yester- day, neither of which resulted in the selection of a United States Senator. Mr. Johnson remained at the head of the poll, but it was evident that his enemies were determined to prevent his election if they could. The bal- loting to-day w ll, we trust, result in the suc- cess of the ex-President. He is such a man as the country necds in the United States Senate, and if the Tennessee legislators desire their State represeated by a man of promi- nence, of ability and of integrity they will no longer listen to the clamors of the impractica- bles who oppose him, but will make Mr, Joha- 800 tueir choice without delay. Tae Petririep GiaANt.—They have found in the neighborhood of Syracuse, according to the Standard of that city of salt, what is sup- posed to be a petrified giant, a manly figure in stone, over ten feet high. If the report is true the discovery is certainly a wonderful thing, as a work of nature or a work of art. If it is the petrified body of a man, then we may say that around the Syracuse salt works and of the age in which he flourished ‘‘there were giants in those days;” butif ‘‘the critter” is only a statue cut by some cunning hand from a block of stone the questions recur, who was the sculptor? Where did he come from and what did he get for his job? And is it the effigy of the veritable big Indian, or what? West- ern New York, however, is’ famous for won- derful discoveries, such as the dead body of Morgan by Thurlow Weed—‘‘a good enough Morgan till after the election”"—and the golden plates of the book of Mormon by Joe Smith. The petrified giant no doubt belongs to this class of discoveries; but as it is a harmless sensation we hope it may live through the allotted period of a nine days’ wonder.
