Tus News rnom Spart.—The United States Minister in Madrid has conveyed to Sefior Castelar the congratulations of the American ,Betata. on. the establishment of the Spanish ba wot "Republic.

Judg- i See ® result, tending . welt to a"definite solution of the present affaize in Spain, is éminently de- only for Spain’but for all the poo- a. gies: . relations with that country. Madrid remthins ‘deeply ‘agitated, and the citizens of the capital fear the outbreak of fighting in the streets, | The period embraced in this report, from 1869 to 1872, is one of the most important and eventful in French history. In 1869 Napoleon was not only Emperor of France, but to every eye but that of the All-Seeing his throne seemed to be founded upona rock. France was in the full enjoymont of what was known as ‘‘the prosperity of the Second Empiro,"’ and the world was ringing with the praises of the Emperor who had established in uncertain, mercurial France, not only a stable government, but one that added largely to the prosperity of the people. These reports close with the end of 1872, and during that time the world saw Sedan, Gravelotte, the surrender of Paris, the Commune. . From the uttermost glory to the uttermost despair could there be a greater fall? Have we not been bemoaning the miseries of poor France, and pitying the sad fate which has cast her down and made her the most wretehed of nations? Well, after the extremes of feeling which the history of these four years has inspired, the statements contained in these tables are most instructive. Has France gone into a paralysis—a national decay? Have these prodigious events, wound- ing so deeply her prestige and her pride, really affected her position among the nations ? Do we find in her dealings with our own country that she isany poorer—that she shows any less industry, any diminished productive quality, any of those signs of national apathy and indolence which one sees so clearly in poor Spain and Greece, and which, leading to pauperism and brigandage, aro among the first indications of a nation’s downfall ? Those who love France and wish her well— especially under her republican form of gov- ernment—will be gratified with our reports. Thus, in 1869, the last year of the prosperity of the Empire, France sent America over fifty millions of goods; while in 1872, the first year of the Republic, she sent nearly seventy millions, Strange to say, during the years of the war, 1870 and 1871, we see no falling off. In 1870 the exports were a little larger than the year before, and this notwithstanding the siege of Paris and the occupation of the terri- tory by the German armies. We find, how- ever, the effects of the siege and the occupa- tion in the consular districts, Paris fell off im all nearly ten millions on account of the siege and the Commune, and although she shows o large increase over 1869, in the reports of last year this increase ‘is smaller than that of France generally, So that while France shows a complete recovery and greater activity in business, Paris seems to lack energy. While in the parts of France occupied by the Germans or dependent upon Paris for their supplies—Havre, Nantes and so on—we see a diminution during the war years, and no responding increase during ast year in: other parts, where. the war did not come—Marseilles, Lyons, Bordeaux ond the Southern districts—we finda large increase, which ha$ been maintained since the peace. Thus the war drove business and industry from Paris to the South, and although the | metropolis has recovered, still the great cities of the South manage to hold the power and the commerce thus suddenly thrown upon them. What Paris has lost Bordeaux, Mar- seilles and Lyons have gained. And we have little doubt it will be seen in the end that this impulse of capital and wealth from Paris to the provincial cities will enure to the gencral welfare of the country. One of the misfor- tunes of the French system has always been that power centred in Paris—that Paris claimed, and with practical justice, to be France—its heart and head and strong right arm; and so, when a fanatic like Robespierre ora despot like the Third Bonaparte seized Paris, he held the country by the sheer power its possession gave him. The reports do not show much fluctuation in the character of our commerce, We crave the same things now that we did before, and France manages to supply them. Prudent husbands will have their own thoughts when we say that in seven years our de- mand for silks has increased fifty per cent, while for silk ribbons it has doubled. If it is any comfort to them they may know that the ladies have not increased their demands for velvet ribbons, and that as to laces and gauze and tulle, they take less now than before, at least from France, Whether we are becoming a better people or.not it would be hard to say, espe- cially with so many tenants in the “Murder- ers’ Quarter” of the Tombs; but it is certain that we have increased our desires for church ornaments five-fold. As these ornaments are mainly for Catholic churches, this fact will probably be more interesting to the Arch- bishop than to Dr. Hall or Honry Ward Beecher. Our Yankee friends, with all their mills, will be surprised to know that our im- portations of cotton goods are nearly three- fold, while our Pennsylvania friends, with their pig-iron frenzy and high tariffs, will be in- structed when they learn that, in spite of their tariff on hides and iron, our demand for leather goods has increased nearly threefold, and that in three years our requirements for such cor- | hardware and manufactured iron have risen | Blood Flewing in the Streets of New | that he would not order the assassination o from fifty thousand to nearly seven hundred thousand dollars. If the tariff can do no bet- ter than this in « American indus- try’’ we shall abandon all confidence in it. As to Bordeaux wines, we drink about the same. In this there is little increase—meaning, we fear, that we take all that Bordeaux can produce, We may say tho same for olive oil—our national taste for salads needing cultivation. We drink a1 little less brandy than before, while an appetite for sardines and preserved fruits has increased enormously, As to champagne—our national taste for that does not apparently need cultiva- tion—as in spite of Catawba and other home brands our demand in four years has increased over fifty per cent. Even the war, when the Prussian army reigned in Rheims and revelled in champagne, only deprived us of about a hundred thousand dollars’ worth of our supply. On the whole, the country will be glad tosee these evidences of prosperity in France, and especially to learn that the war has affected her 80 little, As republicans we cannot but be instructed and pleased to observe that the Republic, with all its troubles, shows so much more material prosperity than the Empire. There is hope for France—for any nation, in- deed, whose people, in spite of the most dréad- ful disasters that can befall a country, have the courage and the will to add in one year nearly fiiteen millions to the value of their exports to one nation alone—to produce nearly twenty millions more than in the last year of the Em- pire. Much of this may be owing to unusually fine crops—increased demand for French pro- duce, and other natural blessings. But these advantages, or all advantages of climate, soil, opportunity and demand are nothing if public spirit is dead. We see this painfully in Spain, in Greece, in parts of Italy and in our own Mexico, They have had every advantage— France has had every disadvantage. France, with its public spirit, has triumphed over all, and gains new strength, while the others are rapidly becoming a mockery and a shame among the nations of the earth. The Good Time Coming. We congratulate the world on the official announcement by President Grant, in his second Inaugural Address, of the approach of that millennium foretold in the Apocalypso and vainly predicted and waited for by the hopeful Dr. John Cumming, of London. To be sure, the date is not fixed by President Grant with that precision which distinguishes the prognostications of the Evangelical Bishop of Crown court, Covent Garden. Indeed, the period is left in perplexing uncertainty by our Chief Magistrate, who only announces that the Groat Maker is proparing the world, “in his own good time,’’ for the consolidation of all the governments and languages of the earth and the abolition of armies and navies ; but, as the good time is certain to arrive at last, wo may await the hour with what patience we can command. The President at least has the advantage of the Presbyterian, in the fact that his prediction cannot’ be falsified by the rising and the setting of a day’s sun. The Presidential millennium may commence while General Grant still holds the Chief Magistracy of the United States, or it may be postponed for years after he shall have been gathered to the tomb of his fathers, and until Orédit Mobilier shall have been forgotten. On the principle which forbids us to look a gift horse in the mouth, we must take the prophecy as we get it, without grumbling, and content ourgelves with the recollection that it proceeds from one who has been honored with the de- gree of LL. D., and hence is clearly entitled to credence. it must be now dat de kingdom am a comin’, And de year ob jubilo! The’ Second-Term Inauguration Ball. The Inauguration Ball at Washington ap- pears to have been an especially cool affair. There is something almost inhuman in the idea of inducing fair, young creatures to appear in light and airy raiment and dance for hours in a huge ice chest. At least a thousand of our youngest and fairest were so treated on Tues- day night last. We say a thousand, for although there were, probably, fifteen hun- dred ladies present, we think that we may dis- count it by five hundred when speaking only of the pretty and young. , Those outside of these classes may not altogether deserve this chilling reception, but the sympathy of man- kind, under the circumstances, will not be so lively for them as for their younger and better favored sisters. A sweet young lady going through the lancers with her opera cloak folded closely around her, a cloud on her head and (0, horror!) the tip of her nose tinged with azure would make many a man swear that, like St. Martin, he would share his cloak or his overcoat with her on the smallest provocation. The only difference be- tween the saint and the citizen would probably be in the fact that, unlike the holy Roman sol- dier, who cut his coat in two and gave half of it to the beggarman, the free American would prefer enfolding the shivering beauty within the entire garment along with himself. The ladies were the créme de la créme of society, we ate informed, which we may suppose meant for the occasion the ice cream, Freez- ing politeness must have been more than a figure of speech, even when it was ‘‘on with the dance! Let joy be unconfined!” If Youth and Pleasure met there it must havo been with cold rather than flying feet that they chased the chilling hours. There is one satisfaction about this grand ball which we must not omit to mention—namely, that it checked the ardor of those worthy disciples of the art descriptive who are nothing if not su- perlative, and who without hesitation pro- nounce everything Terpsichorean as ‘the most brilliant affair of the season.” Pamce Bismarck anp THE AMERICAN Repvusiic.—On Tuesday night a grand dinner was given in Berlin, by Minister Bancroft. Ona the occasion Prince Bismarck was Mr. Bancroft’s right-hand man. Prince Bis- marck proposed the health of President Grant, and Mr. Bancroft, of course, proposed the health of Emperor William. Strange! Bismarck no doubt eulogized the great Repub- lic. Yet Bismarck is the most autocratic Minister in Europe, and hates republicanism with a perfect hatred. But diplomacy does not yet mean truthfulness, “Toe Rervpuic Caw Owny BE Saven,”’ avers the New Orleans Times, “by subordinating party spirit to public spirit and national pat- riotism, and at present the only unequivocal voice for theso ig the independent preas,’” Orieans. About two o'clock this morning we re- ceived the startling intelligence from New Orleans’ that the long-pending conflict between the rival State governments of Louisiana had last night eventuated in a bloody struggle in the streets, The facts, so far ag known, appear to be that the militia, representing the McBmery or Warmoth faction, had," on Tuesday night, commenced an endeavor to capture the civil power from the Kellogg or Durell party by taking possession of tho Seventh precinct station house. This was in’ the nature of 4 surprise, and was successful. It was rumored yester- day that the McEnery militia would take still further aggressive steps.. This was, unhap- pily, well founded: Last night, at half-past nine o'clock, a squad of. fifty men attacked the Third precinct, firing into the windows, The fire was returned and the attack for the moment repulsod. The attackers, reinforced by three hundred and fifty men, returned to the assault, but two hundred police, with a piece of artillery, caused them to break and run, with the loss of'some killed and wounded. Such are the meagre outlines of this bad beginning. Who shall say how much worse remains behind? Congress adjourned with- out making any provision to bridge over the difficulty. The bold and bad on both sides of the wretched quarrel have taken advantage of this to help their own party. The Kellogg faction felt themselves secure in the place they had been enabled to win through the prostituted United States Courts; the McEnery faction felt that it was the very best moment to force matters and so took up with rash hand the appeal to force. It brings President Grant face to face with the position under the very worst circumstances for himself. He has played with the fire too long, and now the fire is spreading. His first duty is to preserve the peace. We have had enongh of civil war. His next duty should be to summon an extra session of Congross and have the ques- tion settled without the rush that attends the close of a session. It is a vory grave situation. Congross alone can deal with the matter finally to the satisfaction of the country. Let an extra session be called and then let a new election be ordered. This is the only way out of continued bloodshed and all the horrors of civil war. The Captain General and the Herald Commissianer to Cuba. Our special despatch from Havana, recount- ing briefly an interview between a Hznatp correspondent and Captain General Ceballos, is of first rate interest at present. ‘The sub- ject of the interview was the Hznaxp’s Special Commissioner to Cuba, Mr. James J. O'Kelly, and what treatment the Spanish authorities were likely to extend to him on his return from the insurgent camp. We confess our- selves not a little amused by the statement of the Captain General that Mr. O'Kelly was doubtless concealed somewhere in Santiago de Cuba. On what possible grounds he could imagine | newspaper correspond- ént burying himself from human eye in a city where it would be so much more pleasant to take the air inthe cool of the evening we cannot state, The Captain General was then informed pointedly that Mr. O'Kelly was in the insur- gent camp, and not hiding at all. When His Excellency became convinced that this was really the case ‘he became exasperated,’ Weare sorry indeed that it should take so little to ruffle the temper of 80 exalted an official. Why should he object to a news- paper correspondent going to and fro and seeking information wherever he lists, so long as he retains his position asa neutral? It would seem, indeed, from the heat of temper displayed by this high official of the Spanish Republic that in the days when he was Captain General of the Spanish Mon- archy he had intimated to somebody his objection to our Commissioner entering the insurgent lines. We take it, then, that his first impulse of choler was di- rected against those subordinates who had not clearly understood or véry imper- fectly carried out his instructions. But he very soon shifted his anger and’ gave it fall fling a; the Heratp and its faithful Commissioner. ‘Who and what are the New York Henatp and Mr. O'Kelly, that they should mock the Spanish laws in Cuba?” We can tell him what the New York Henaty is without any difficulty. It is a thoroughly independent American journal, whose cause is the cause of truth, honesty, light and right everywhere; fearless in its championing of these and indefatigable in its endeavors to spread intelligence of them. Mr. O'Kelly is the Henatn's trusted repre- sentative to bear testimony of how far truth, honesty and human right are respected in Cuba. To such, journal or representative, no honest Executive of an honest cause has the slightest reason to object. This the Captain General must well have known ; but, in his passion, he so far forgot himself as to say that Mr, O'Kelly, on his reappearance, should be tried by drum-head court martial and shot as a spy. The trial and the shoot ing ‘are, put so closely together that the Captain General might well have spared himself any allusion to a trial at all. Where @ man who is the Executive over an entire people speaks ¢* a trial we generally presume that there is some chance left to the accused. But the Captain General declared that there should be no such chance, for he said that Mr. O'Kelly would be shot. This, in plain terms, would be, if promulgated, an order from the Captain General to assassinate the Hmnatp Commissioner when he returned to the Span- ish lines, Upon its essential brutality, ite short-sighted defiance to the American people and its truculent inhumanity we are happily spared any lengthy comment, and for a very sufficient reason. The Captain General, on coming to the sober second thought, decided | o Mr. O'Kelly. We can tell the Captain General that he did well. Of what we have aid heretofore upon this subject of these threats to shoot our representative and we do not abate one jot. Every free heart in America would be roused to such in- dignation by the cowardly shedding of Mr. O’Kelly’s blood that all the Spaniards in Cuba would not be a circumstance in the way of settling the Cuban question in a manner Spain would better understand than like. The Captain General concluded that it would be less unjust to cause Mr. O’Kolly’s deportation from Cuba than to. shoot him. It is @ poor comment on Spanish freedom; but if owr Commissioner has ‘finished his work by his. visit to the insurgents we may, after all, find occasion to thank the Spanish authorities for being kind enough to see him safe on | United States soil and well on his way to’ New York with ‘his “copy.”” But, mark you, Mr. Ceballos, do it gently. You shall not injure a hair of his head, even though you conclude at last'to assist the Hzraxp in its enterprise. The Modocs in a Warlike Mood, ‘The special despatch from the Hzranp correspondent in the vicinity of the now famous lava beds which we publish to-day gives a new phase of the difficulty with the Modoe Indians. The victors in the recent contests with the United States troops are not inclined to accept the terms offered by the Peace Commissioners. If the proud, Grease-besmeared princes of the forest cannot have an armistice arranged, principally in accordance with ~ their own views, and especially with a view to their remaining in the land of their forefathers, they will prefer to remain as they are and make the most of the advantage they have already obtained. They cannot be made to believe it is more criminal for an Indian to commit murder than the more privileged white brother, whosé double-hearted double-tongued ' pro- pensities they scorn to imitate. And although, in the terms of peace proposed by Mr. Steele to the assembled warriors on Tuesday, there was no mention made of the murderers supposed to be lurking behind the great natural defences in the lava beds, the Indians doubtless believe the Commissioners will demand these individuals to be offéred as a sacrifice to Oregonian-offended jus- tice. There were four clauses in the peace proposition—first, a full surrender and complete amnesty ; second, to be removed to Angel Island, and be there fed and provided for until able to support themselves ; third, to be provided with means of transportation for their women and children to some place, perhaps Arizona ; and fourth, that perhaps Jack and a few of. his chosen band should visit the Great Father in Washington at the expense of the government. Captain Jack immediately camo to the conclusion that they could not leave their own cuuntry, as he plainly foresaw thoy must do if they agreed to the Arizona clause. Schonchin, the fire-eater of the band, became. eloquent, indignant and im- pudent. He flourished his weapons in the face of the emissaries of the Commissioners, and pointing to the sixty-five armed warriors who stood around in war paint, said he was surprised that they had the courage to enter the precincts of the lava fields and make such propositions to men who held their position. It appears that the Snake tribe have begun to visit the Modoo camp, which may possibly account for the sudden hostility of the latter Indians to the peace men. From the interesting despatch and correspondence elsewhere, it is evident the Indians are not so desirous for peace as has been supposed, and that the Commissioners will have to offer more conciliatory terms. Tae Smmzr’s Drina Worps.—Althongh the poet puts the saddest words of tongue or pen into the pluperfect tense, potential mood, of the substantive verb, there are many whose. saddest experiences are those actuated by “it was” rather than by “it might have been.” ‘We think that the great Smiler’s valedictory, if it spoke what he really felt, would have’ regretted that his form was at an end, instead of suggesting painfully how honest and faith- falhe might have been. It did suggest this. “When he alluded to committing ‘no act which has proved that confidence misplaced” he was simply insinuating that Nesbitt and his father-in-law were a good alibi in that twelve hundred dollar check matter, that Crédit Mobilier stock was not a sinful thing to own at all, and that Hoax Ames was an honest, honest man.

THE HERALD OOMMMISSIONBR TO OUBA WITHIN THE INSURGENT LINES. {From the Philadelphia Ledger, March 4.) The New York HERALD has at length sccom- plished the great journalistic achievement of suc- ceeding in getting oné of ite correspondents into the camp of the Cuban insurgents. The Heratp correspondent left Santiago de Cuba February 19, and on the morning of the 21st entered the rebel from which lié has as yet made no report, ex- ‘the factofhisarrival, The Spanish authorities have done their utmost to preveat any communi- cation with the insurgents that would tend to give the outside world authentic information of their condition and prospects, This achievement is, therefore, the more noteworthy, and if it results in giving us 6 knowledge of the actual condition of the Cuban insurgemt forces it will throw much- needed light upon a subject now very greatly ob- scured either by exaggeration on one side or by falsehood on the other.
