, * 4@eand Monarque; with “fountains in all directions. Massive marble is seen everywhere—on the edges of the meres, on the pedestals of the monuments and colon- nades, on the seats, on the steps and the stair- ways discovered at each turn of @ path or of a courtyard. And through these enchanting scenes has moved, reign after reign, the beauty as well as the chivalry of France. Tho grandes dames, the princesses and duchesses of the ancien régime of the gorgeous court of the and the gay and all too gallant coteries of the Regency. ‘The baths of Apollo, the fountains of Flora, of Ceres, and of Saturn; the thickets of Enceladus, of the Obelisk, of the Star, of the Girandole and of the Aisle -of Chestnuis have re-echoed, at different pe- rlods, to the laughter, not only of the crowned -queens of the palace, but of the Duchesses de Berri, the Maintenens and the Pomphdours of *reckless courts, to be recensecrated at last by the memory of the devotion and the sorrows of poor Marie Antoinette, But here let us pause. The German monarch, with the blood of.a dozen batiles ‘on the hoofs of his charger, looks forth to- night thoughtfully from the park of Versailles to where the eastern horizon reddens with the struggle around Paris. Around him, in the silence, are the fallen glories of a mighty State but yesterday more proud, more arro- gant, more powerful,’ twas thought, than even the vast Teutonic empire of which he already well nigh grasps the sceptre. May King William heed the mute testimony—which is also a warning—that the scene and the thoughts it suggests must conjure up! It is the republic that strikes for life and liberty at Paris; it is the monarchy that seeks to stifle it from Versailles; but the shades and corridors of the Trianon are haunted by traditions omi- nous to kings! The Cuban Junta Dissolved. 5 In obedience to the recent proclamation of the President of the United States the Central ‘Republican Junta of Cuba and Porto Rico has deen dissolved. In the manifesto announc- ing that fact, and which bears date ‘‘New* York, October 13,” Seiior Miguel de Aldama refers to that proclamation as one requiring this action; but ut the same time he declares solemnly that since he entered on the presidency of the Junta the most special care has been taken, in sending aid to the Cuban patriots, not to violate the laws of this country. The materials that have been sent to Cuba from Ameri- can ports have been, according to tiis mani- festo, articles of lawful commerce, regularly exported ; and the men who have gone to aid the Cubans fighting not only for their civil and political rights, but for the abolition of slavery, have neither been enlisted nor organized. They have been principally Cubans, and the few who have not been natives of the island have been animated by no other motive than that which inspired Lafayette to aid tiie American people with his sword. Aso vessels used in aid of the Cuban cause, none of them have escaped detention or a scrupulous examination on the part of the government. Such, Sefior de Aldama says, has been the line of conduct which himself and the Junta have observed within American territory. Outside of it they have done what their duty as Cubans prescribed. As to raising funds for the Cuban cause, he declares that all the money received has come exclusively from Cubans and has been voluntarily offered, rather as a patriotic gift than in the character of a loan, and therefore not subject to interference by the authorities, As to the allusion in the President’s procla- mation to bodies assuming faculties of govern- ment over the tetritories of friendly Powers, the manifesto declares that its application to the Cuban Junta would be equally violent and unjust, as neither the Central Junta of New Yark nor any of its branches has ever pre- tended or been able to pretend to exercise such faculties within or without the United States. ‘They only exercised the right, which could not beidenied to any body of individuals, to asso- ciate and use their resources for the service of their country. - va Fevertheless, in order to avoid the risk of ‘appearing to encourage the violation of law, Seflor Aldama bows to the proclamation, de- sirhg that his compatriots shall not seem to tbe |n open opposition to the declarations of the E ive, He consoles himself by the reflec- that if those are not in harmony with the 4 spirit of the law or with the noble as- pirstions of the American people, it will be for that American people, not for Cuban refu- gees, to pass upon them the judgment of thelr sovereign opinion; and that, at all events, the dissolution of the Junta will not paralyze in the least the extension of aid to the Cuban revolutionists. That aid can be mae efficacious even within the circle to which it is confined by the American govern- ment, and can also be extended from other countries that sympathize with the Cuban straggle against an insupportable tyranny. Such is the tone and spirit of the manifesto in which the dissolution of the Cuban Junta ‘is snnounced, We think that the prompt and respectful obedience thus shown by the Cubans in this country to our laws and to the pro- clamation of the'Executive will win for them ‘the approval of many who have not hitherto looked upon their cause with too much favor, and will eventually benefit that cause more than any contrary course could have done. We now await a similar manifesto from the Fenians. Let us hear from Mr. Savage that the officials of the Irish republic have re- nounced their claim to the powers of govern- ment, and will be content henceforth to live strictly within the neutrality laws of the United States. Genera Grant axp His Casinet.—The poets of the Post are distressed at the retire- ment of General Cox from the Cabinet. They admit that his views on some gnestions were notin harmony with the views of the Presi- dent, but they seem to think that the President ought to have yielded to his Secretary. We “think that the Secretary should yield in every ‘case to the President or retire, as Cox has don. This was “Old Hickory’s” Cabinet law, and it is the only law whereby the Cabinet canbe made a practical unit. General Grant is right in adopting this law, and in holding to it, it will carry him safely through, INEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1870—QUADRUPLE SHEETS THLRGRAPING NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD Reported Acceptance of the Spanish Throne by Prince Amadeus, of Italy.

Odsequics of General Leo at Lexington Solemn Services at the College Chapel Beautiful Incident in the Life of the Chris- tian Soldier, * LxxineTon, Oct. 14, 1870. Solemnity and gloom have shrouded this commu- nity since the tolling of the bell announced that Robert BE. Lee was no more, All classes seem Stricken by @ common and personal sorrow. So genuine and heartfelt nas been the affection and reverence tn which the great Virginian was here held that no mere selfish thought of looat loss bas §=mingled in the ourrent of grief. All business was at once volun tarily suspended, and has #o continued since ten A, M. on Wednesday, the 12th inst. Within a half nour after he breathed his last the college buildings were draped in funereal biack, and from the central tower, where stands an effigy of George Washington, now floats tho flag of Virginia, and both clothed in the garb of woe. It is touching to seo that the Image of the great American leader of 1776, and the great-granddaughter of whose noble wife ia now the widowed mourner here, should be in ite natural place to preside tn majestic grandeur over the solemn obsequies of Lee, with the standard of their common native State bending towards the tomb of the illustrious dead. On yesterday morning, from nine to ten o'clock, re- gious memorial services were held in the college chapel, At twelve o'clock a sad and imposing pro- cession was formed on the college grounds and filed Past the late resigence of General Lee to escort his body to the chapel, where t¢ still lies in state. First came the escort of honor, composed of 120 of the soldiers and officers of the Confederate army; next the hearse, containing the coffin and corpse; then the General's war horse, knowa to the army as ‘Old Gray,” with sable trappings, and led by his ser- then pallbearers, composed of representatives the Faculty of "the college and of the Military Insitute, students , Confederate soldiers and citizens, the clergy, the frastees and Faculty of the coliege and the institute students and cadets, to the number of 650, and citizens generally. No martial music or standard was heard or seen.

M. on yesterday mass meeting of ‘citi zens assembled in the Court House and passed ap- propriate resolutions, among others extending a cordial welcome to those from abroad who may attend the final funefal to-morrow. At night the old soldiers and ofMfcera of the Con- federate army reassembled, with Captain A. Gra- ham, Jr.,ot the famed Rockbridge artillery, as chairman, and Rey. J. W. M. Jones, a chaplain of Northern Virginia, as secretary. Resolutions were reported by Major J. B. Dormun and unanimously adopted, as follows:.

He is gone from among us—“gone before the Father,” far beyond tho twi- Light judgments of this world; high above ite mixta and obscurities, No more shall'we look upon bis noble form, meet, his beniyuant smile or receive his kindly greeting. But here, where he set ia. inst great example of stoad(ast, unseilish devotion to duty, the memory of his greatness and’ his worth must ever linger; and while We rererently bow ia sy'utasion to the summons of Tufluite Wisdom calling him away, we set up a solemn aspiration of thankfulness that to us was given the houor and the biessing of communion with hia in his last days ou earth, and to our people ts committed the pious oliice of cousigning his mortal remains tothe tombs.

EE tthe SBT Secretary Cox’s Resignation Accepted— Summary of the Report of the Com- missioner of Pensions—New Na- tional Banks Organized. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 1870. The Resignation of Secretary Cox. Netther President Grant nor Secretary Gox has given any tnfortation concerning the resignation of the latter, nor has the fact come from any other oMctal source to the public. The trath, however, about the resignation and its seceptance admits of nO controversy whatever. Several gentlemen en- deavored to-day to procure a copy of the corres- pondeace between the President and Secretary Cox, but were unsuccessful, nor could they learn why tt is withheld. There have been ao many foundation- 1e38 rumors of late that it was not generally be- Meved until to-day that one had actually taken place, it can be positively stated that there {3 no truth in the recent report that Generai Cox has been offered a foreign mission, The question of a successor to General Cox ta discussed, their being many specula- Uon upon the subject; but nothing reliable can be obtained upon the subject. The friends of Attorney General Akerman are surprised at the mention of his name in connection witn further reported changes, and place no confidence whatever in the xumors.
