The Mexican Congress has not, as yet, ratified the proposal for the prolongation of the term of the mixed commission with the United States. The border line territory remains disturbed. From the interior we are told that a war of races is imminent in some of the States, and that Indian troops already held Jalisco.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET, | The Troubles or tme Spanish Repub- licmA Orisis at Madrid. The situation at Madrid is critical. Our spe- cial cable despatch from that city published in to-day’s Hupanp representa a culmination of the public sentiment against the Perma- nent Committee created by the Legislature, the forcible dissolution of that body by a Minis- terial decree and a street demonstration by the “reds,"’ who seem to have been prompt to avail themselves of the difficulty to advance their own objects. It will be remembered that the Permanent Committee of the Assembly, which claimed the right to exercise certain adminis- trative powers, protested against the appoint- ment of Sefior Pi y Margall to the temporary Presidency by the government in place of Sefior Figueras, who had been suddenly called away from the capital by the death of his wife. The Committee insisted that in making this appointment the government had exceeded its powers, and on this issue the people were not slow to take sides. The Committeo felt confidence in its strength from the belief that the army was on its side, and hence resolved to resist the demand of the Ministry for its voluntary dissolution. Marshal Ser- rano, who maintained the cause of the Com- mittee as against the Ministry, with Sefior Pi y Margall as its temporary head, resolved to bring the quarrel to an issue, and for that purpose attempted a coup d'état on the 28d, by the promulgation of a wili- tary pronunciamento declaring in favor of the maintenance of law and order and against the proposed dissolution of the Permanent Committee. The suc- cess of this movement would, no doubt, have been the prelude to the proclama- tion of a military dictatorship with Serrano at its head and the Committee of the Assembly as his counsellors. But it was doomed to failure from an unexpected cause. When the critical moment for action arrived, and when the existence of the government appeared to tremble in the balance, the soldiers suddenly proved unmanageable and went over to the side of the administration. Volunteers ap- pear to have been raised by the Committee and Marshal Serrano to back up the army; but on the defection of the soldiers becoming known these volunteers lost heart and showed no disposition to carry the contest to ex- tremes. Notwithstanding this discouragement, how- ever, it appears that a party of volunteers, bolder than the rest, took up a position in the bull ring in the Plaza Toros, with the inten- tion of making a fight. Their first act was an attempt at assassination. General Contreras, recently Captain General of Catalonia, who was passing near the spot, was fired at, but it seems without effect. At nine o'clock of the evening of Wednesday six batteries with mitrailleuse were brought up and trained on the bull ring occupied by the belligerent volunteers, who were summoned tosurrender. After three hours’ deliberation and parley discretion overcame valor, and the volunteers at midnight laid down their arms and surrendered. The Ministry meantime had assembled in council, and, encouraged no doubt by their success in the streets, decreed the forcible dissolution of the Permanent Com- mittee and the disarming of its defenders. This was effected by the aid of the army, but another difficulty appears to have arisen upon the heels of the suppression of the first demonstration in the appearance of the “Reds” in force in the public streets of the city. These violent politicians, it is said, forced their way into the presence of the Com- mittee, it would seem with hostile intentions towards some of the members of that body, since our report represents that the Min- istry personally protected the obnoxious individuals. The radical ‘‘Reds"’ nevertheless posted themselves at the street corners, virtu- ally holding possession of the city, and it was rumored that Marshal Serrano had either been arrested and thrown into prison or had fled from the city. While the government has triumphed in this brief but perilous struggle for ascendancy, and while the immediate proclamation of a military dictatorship, which seemed imminent, has been, for the time, at least, averted, the situation must be one not very encouraging to the Republic. It is impossible to foretell what course the ‘‘Reds’’ may pursue, and, judging from our despatches, they appear at present to be in the ascendancy. If the government should turn upon them in the cause of law and order it is by no means certain which side the army would espouse, and if the government should resolve to frater- nize with the radicals it would probably find itself compelled to yield more than it would desire to their demands. It is singular that the words of Don Carlos in his inter- view with the Heratp correspondent should so soon receive what promises to be a practical confirmation. The Bourbon Prince predicted that a republic in Spain must speedily fail or take a character of the wildest socialism, and now We 56g fhe government at Madrid saved from overthrow by the unex- pected aid of thearmy, only to find the streets of the city in possession of the ‘‘Reds."’ The events of the 23d cannot fail to shake still more the general faith in the stability of the Republic The fatal difficulty in the way of all political parties in Spain— the difficulty of making combinations strong enough to resist opposition—seems to obstruct the path of the republican government. No leaders with powerful followings have for years appeared in Madrid. Every party or every administration seems speedily to dwin- dle down te the dimensions of a faction and gives way to ao successor which follows in the same footsteps. President Figueras was believed to have pepularity at his back, but his temporary absence develops the fact of the watchfulness of his enemies. Serrano has been regarded as all powerful with the army; but on the first at- tempt at a coup d'état of a military character he finds himself deserted by the soldiers. We yet hope well for the Republic. For the cause of freedom in Europe we should deplore the failure of popular gov- ernment in Spain. The elections to the Cortes may yet call out o demonstration on the part of the people in favor of free in- stitutions. But we must confess that our fears of an adverse result are grave, and we can only trust that the good sense of the masses will come to the rescue and return to the next Assembly a representation that will strengthen the hands of the government and establish the Republic at last upon a sound and healthful basis. ‘The Scheel Polley of the New City Governiient—An Unwelcome Rumor. It is reported that the now administration of the Public Schools of the city contemplates discontinuing eome of the schools where the attendance is small, and further practising a mistaken economy by cutting down the salaries of the teachers some fifteen per cent from the present rates. It is to be hoped that the report is altogether unfounded, but in case any members of the new School Board should favor such a policy we trust that there will be such an _ earnest expression of public sentiment in oppo- sition thereto as will deter them from attempt- ing to carry it into practice. The Public School teachers aro already underpaid for the arduous and responsible duties they perform. If any change is made it should be in the direction of liberality rather than of parsimony. Com- paratively few of our citizens are aware of the wearing labor required of the whole corps of teachers, principals and assistants, and scarcely any person pauses to reflect upon the qualifications necessary to a proper dis- charge of the duties of the position. A good teacher must not only possess education, judgment and tact, but must also be trained in self-control, patience and endurance. It is not denied that the present employés in this important department are in every respect faithful, diligent and fully qualified; only the niggardly spirit of a false economy dictates that their insufficient salaries shall be pared down in order to save afew dollars to the treasury, which the taxpayers would willingly and cheerfully pay. We need a reform in the teachers’ salaries, itis true; but it is a reform which would equalize the amounts paid to the several principals, place the salaries of the female teachers in the difforent grades on a par with | the males, and raise the salaries of all at least as much as it is proposed to reduce them. At present a principal who happens to have a school at which the attendance is not quite so large as at some others receives a smaller salary, although the labor performed is precisely the same, This is an in- justice which ought to be remedied, The female teachers at present receive less salary than the male teachers, but no person will pretend that their services aro not equally valuable and their duties and responsibilities equally onerous. There should be no dis- tinction between them, and no unjust dis- crimination on account of the attendance. The very last department in which a parsi- monious policy ought to prevail is that of Public Schools, and the people, taxpayers and non-taxpayers, will regard with indignation any paltry attempt to save a few dollars at the cost of the poorly paid and faithful teachers. The New Reform Bill for the Unt- versity of Dublin. Another bill, having for its object the re- form of what is called the University of Dublin, is now before the House of Commons. On Monday last this bill was passed to its second reading. Professor Fawcett’s bill— the bill now before the House—must not be confounded with the recent government Measure, nor must it in any sense be re- garded as a sequel to the same. It is, though not new, an entirely independent measure, It is hardly to be denied that but for Mr. Faweett’s bill the defeated government measure would never have taken shape. It is fair, however, to say that Mr. Gladstone’s bill was much the grander, much the more comprehensive measure. It was intended to be, and it was really well worthy to be, his crowning effort in the direction of Irish reform. The Irish Catholics, however, who demand and refuse to be satisfied with anything short of denom- inational, or, as they call it, concurrent endowment, would not have Mr. Gladstone's reform; and so the government measure came to grief and brought grief to its friends, The failure of Mr. Gladstone's bill did not daunt the brave Cambridge Professor, and his pluck and perseverance promise to be re- warded with success. In its present form Professor Fawcett’s bill is very different from what it was originally. In its original shape, in addition to providing for the abolition of religious tests, it provided for the reorganiza- tion of the University by the creation of a special council for that purpose. The com- position of that council was ill adapted to satisfy the Irish Roman Catholics, the concilia- tion of whom has all along and confessedly been the principal object aimed at in any at- tempt at Irish University reform, and for this reason it provoked the hostility of Mr. Gladstone and the other members of the gov- ernment, Mr. Fawcett again and again modi- fied his bill, but his alterations were not successful in removing tho initial objections. His grand mistake was that he attempted to reorganize the University by a council com- posed of elements already inside of Trinity Qollege. For example, in addition to seven fellows of Trinity College, elected ‘by the fel. lows, there were to be four professors elected by the professors and four graduates elected by the graduates. This, as Mr. Gladstone and others pointed out, was virtually calling upon Trinity College to open its own doors and so admit the hitherto excluded Roman Catholics to a share of its privileges, its honors and its emoluments—an act of generosity which Trinity College has never shown itself very willing to perform. In his new bill (No. 3, as it is called), Mr. Fawcett lcts drop the provisions which relate to the government and constitution of the University, and con- fines himself mainly to the abolition of tests, Ont of the whole number of senior and junior fellows of Trinity College all but three, ao- cording to the existing statutes, must be in holy orders. This arrangement, in addition to excluding Roman Catholics, has been a growing source of annoyance to the clever young men of the University. The new bill provides that ‘‘no person elected to a fellow- ship or other office shall be deprived of his office by reason that he is not or does not become ordained in holy orders." This is tho bill which, contrary to the expectation of many, has been passed to its second reading, and which, it is now reasonable to presume, will become law before the close of the present session of Par- liament. The abandonment of those clauses of the bill which related to the government and constitution of the University left the bill in so simple a shape and provided for so desirable and just a reform, that the govern- sition. The bill does not give Ireland all that Mr. Gladstone offered her; but it gives her something and leaves her the right to agitate for more. 1t would be foolish to imagine that with the passing of this bill Irish educational difficulties will be ended. Coal-biack Princess and the Herald Man—A Fairy Tale. A princess three shades lighter than anthra- cite coal must be a bewitching rarity. The inky daughter of a jet-black emperor appeals to the eye when we picturo her sparkling with diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds; clad in sky-blue silk; girdled with a zone of cloth of gold; mounted on a tall, cream- colored charger, whose bridle chains aro polished solid silver, and riding at a hand- gallop over the Haytian Champ de Mars. It might be absurd to speak of hor as the fair princess, but we are assured that she is good- looking ; that her figure is plump and well moulded; that her expression is good- natured; her laugh, like her horse’s bridle, silvery; her mind cultivated, and her conversation free, pointed and charming. She is not a poor princess; for her imperial papa, old Soulouque, was diligent in making money-for his family on the celebrated Tweed plan, and probably succeeded better than the William Marcy of our Empire State. The result to him was that, having heard one morning that his beloved subjects were desir- ous of sawing off his crown and head together, he resigned the former ina hurry and keft with the latter in great haste for Jamaica. Now they have a beautiful black republic in Hayti, and the plump, good-natured pile of gorgeously adorned and palpitating anthracite coal flour- ishes her jewelled riding-whip in Port au Prince as royally as ever. She is cerlainly as remarkable a piece of femininity as a news- paper man could desire for a transient com- panion in a morning’s ride over such beauti- ful country as delights the sense in the trop- ical neighborhood of Port au Prince. Glori- ous palms, almond trees, mango trees, and green sward in the foreground; purple lines of towering mountain and frowning headland behind and on either gide, the picturesque town in front, and the calm expanse of the great ocean stretching away to the horizon’s rim under a clear blue sky, are the setting of the picture! Lucky Heratp man! the world will say, thus to find yourself in a realization of fairy land. Lalla Rookh is not richer in sensuous luxury than the beauty of the sur- roundings of that matin ride, and the stories of the witching Scheradzerade are not more prolific in pleasures to the eye. Thrice lucky Henatp man! who can enjoy all these things in the first passionate thrill as they stir the heart to admiration from the vivid look ‘of nature itself. He wrote his experiences, however, with all the gushing disingenuousness of a simple mind, and people grow happy in thinking of that Hzratp man’s happiness as he rode beside the gorgeous ‘‘culled pusson”’ in her quarter million dollar “rig.” It is pleasant to reflect that the HenaLp man’s toil- some search for stubborn facts brings him occasionally into such soft ways as those that expanded their emotional glories before him on that memorable morning. Not always is his career so enviable. Fainting with fever in the swamps and forests of Africa, tramping painfully over the densely timber-clad hills of Cuba, being ushered through a hole in the roof into Captain Jack’s cave, or treading the submerged deck of the Atlantic in a diver's suit will not, for pleasant sensations, compare favorably with that morning ride with the sable- skinned Princess Soulouque. Yet all, soft or hard, flowery or thorny, lie in the path of duty, and the Herap man, true to his trust and his obligation, takes just what comes. Thus it is that the “abstract and brief chronicles of the time’ are made. The public reads ench ex- perience with a differing degree of apprecia- tion, but becomes convinced in the end that wherever duty calls or occasion offers the Herarp man will be found. This thought gives pleasure to the world, and for the Henatp man it is glory enough. The Tae Fruta or THe Lower Warps OF THE Crrx is a reeking disgrace to New York. The state of the streets around the Five Points, as set forth in the report to be found elsewhere, will fill the public mind with alarm. In the abominable heaps of slush and decaying ani- mal and vegetable matter are the germs of an epidemic that would soon pass the confines of the fearfully overcrowded tenements of the Sixth ward, and make New York, from one end to the other, a huge nest of disease. The authorities are as sluggish in the matter as the black mud of Baxter street. After the late tains there is no excuse for these hecatombs of rottenness being left to poison the air we breathe. Rain is one of the best scavengers ; but in the Sixth ward it has simply made matters worse by converting the foul tubbish into slime. The warm weather, which should prove a blessing, operates on these lakes of filth by volatilizing all the noxious gases “and dis: versing them oyer the city. There must be something done rapidly to end this disgrace- ful and perilous condition of the streets, even though the immediate inhabitants of the neglected districts are among the poorest of the poor. Tue Sratz Exxection m Iowa, for Gov- ernor, Legislature, &c., takes place in October. Parties are already bestirring themselves in regard to candidates, and various devices are resorted to by old electioneerers to capture the farmers’ vote, which, through the recent independent organizations, has become a great political power in the State. The repub- licans have generally carried Iowa by from thirty to forty thousand, and, in the opinion of some Western papers, it is thought they will probably make the farmers some tempo- rary concessions on the tariff question and attempt to either cajole or dragoon them into the party ranks. As the Chicago Tribune says, “When the farmers know their own power and concentrate on their own common interests politics will have more to fear from them than they from politics.”’ Tux Bayg or Enouanp Foroertes.—We are specially informed, by telegram from Havana, that the prisoner Bidwell, who is accused of having taken a leading part in the recent attempt to defraud the Bank of Eng- land by forgery, has been handed over to the British Consul for extradition by Captain General Pieltain and with the consent of Sec- retary Fish. Bidwell will be taken to London for trial, while his confederates remain in mont found it necessary to withdraw its oppo- | prison in Cuba. Tas Quastrom or raz Oartprey.—The let- tor to the Henarp on the crime of childhood in connection with house-hunting and our comments thereon have awakened a4 lively interest in the matter among landlords and their victims, We present a fow letters to- day out of a large number we have received. We observe that there is, among those at present to hand, no grasping of the question in ita heroic sense. Plenty of grumblings from landlords about injured banisters, mu- tilated Venetian blinds and brokon panes; plenty of blame for negligent mothersand plenty of cries against the landlords’ inhumanity have been sent us; but no attempt to evade the difficulty by disposing of the surplus children in any new, expeditious and useful way. One lady, whose letter we print, differs from the other complaints by making a proposition. It is that landlords of dwellings which are let to families in sets of rooms should be bound to receive the children of honest parents under something, we presume, like a civil rights bill, This opens up the grave question whether children have any rights that a landlord is bound to respect. At present it would seem they have not. The question, in all its bearings, is a serious one, and wil] bear much careful thought. A Granp Army, anp No Mustaxre.—Tho farmers’ Granges in Iowa are said to number one hundred thousand members. There are but two hundred thousand voters in the State. The Grange, a paper published in Washing- ton, Iowa, declares that the leading princi- ples of the organization are ‘‘eternal and un- flinching opposition to monopoly abuses, ex- travagant appropriations of the people's money and to all salary steals.’ That isa very good platform, so far as it goes, and it has a strong party to back it, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. eee ers Congressman J.
