TELEGRAMS TD THE NEW YORK HERALD. “The following special despatch to the ‘Heratp has been received from our corres- ‘pondent in the Spanish capital :— ; Mapam, April 24, 1873, The Spanish capital is full of agitation and excitement produced by a conflict of parties, PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE AGITATION. The recently definite division of the politi- sal elements induced a taking of sides for and against the Permanent Commission of the Legislature by which that body of the National Assembly hoped to control the Ministry of the Republic. SERRANO'S PROJECT OF A MILITARY COUP. Marshal Serrano had, apparently, wished fo determine the balance against the Ministry by means of a coup di élat effected through a military demonstration and the of @ pronunciamento in favor of the party of order and against the dissolution of the Permanent Commission; but his plan Yailed, because on the arrival of the critical moment for action the soldicrs fraternized with the people and the volunteers proved faint hearted. CYTIZEN OUTBREAK AND ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINA- Fs ‘TION. : Public disorders commenced in the streets on Wednesday, the 23d inst. General Contreras, lately Captain General of Catalonia, was fired at near the Plaza Toros by @ party of volunteers, who had taken up arms in defence of the Permanent Commission and held possession of the bull ring. ABTILLEBIST ACTION AND A SURRENDER. At the hour of nine o’clock at night six batteries of artillery, with mitralleuses, were trained on the position held by these volun- teers and the men summoned to surrender, which they did. CONSTITUTIONAL DISSOLUTION OF THE PERMA- NENT COMMISSION. At midnight the members of the Ministry of the Republic, in council, recognized that the Permanent Commission constituted a source of reactionary agitation, and the government, having called on the Commission to dissolve willingly of its own accord or be dissolved forcibly, decreed its dissolution and disarmed ite defenders. THE RADIOAL “‘REDS’’ THE CONTROLLING POWER. The radical ‘‘reds’’ becoming violent, have Yn some instances forced their way into the presence of the Commission, but the members of the Ministry personally protected the more obnoxious individuals. The ‘“‘reds’’ have posted themselves at every street corner, holding the city. wy MARSHAL SEBRANO IN DANGER. It is variously reported that Marshal Serrano thas been thrown into prison, and that he has left the city. THE PRIMARY POINT OF THE DIFFICULTY. The exact point of origin of the difficulty may be stated as follows:—In consequence of the death of the wife of President Figueras, which occurred on the 2ist inst., His Excel- lency temporarily ceased to exercise the func- tions of his office, and nominated Sefior Pi y Margall, Minister of the Interior, to act as President until he should again assume the duties. CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVILEGE AND CITIZEN RIGHT. Differences then arose between the govern- ment and the Permanent Committee of the ‘Assembly, growing out of the appointment by the former of Pi y Margall to act as President. The committee claimed that the government, in making the appointment, exceeded its powers. Presidential Changes Producing Violent Popular Excitement. Lonpon, April 24, 1873. A special dispatch from Madrid to the London ‘Times says tne temporary retirement ef President Figueras, and the appointment by the government of Sefior Pi y Margall to admimster the duties of the executive office, has caused intense excitement ‘ in that city. A rising of the pepulation is imminent. The Capital Becoming More Calm.

The Prospect of a Large Crop More Fa- vorable than at This Date Last Year. WASHINGTON, April 24, 1873. The following isa summary of the condition of Winter wheat just issued from the Agricultural De- partment :— On the first week of April a considerable portion of the Northern belt of the Winter wheat area was covered with snow. The condition of that which was visible gave promise of general exemption from Winter injury, leaving the crop subject to the meteorolegical vicissitudes of April. In the Middle States a great improvement upon the showing of last Spring is everywhere conceded, especially in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, The prospect in the States south of Maryland is Jess favorable than last year, and there are indica- tions of diminishing area in the cotton States, al- though acreage is not intended to be given in this report. Michigan, the only State of the Northern border in which Winter wheat is mainly grown, prevents green and vigorous growth wherever the snow has disappeared to reveal it, and Ohio makes far more favorable returns than last year, in Kentucky a more checkered shewing is made, giving the present appearance a decidedly uniavor- able cast, with indications of future improvement as the weather becomes settled, In Indiana and Dlinois the unfavorable returns outnumbered the rose-colored. The dry Autumn retarded seeding and germinating, and left the plants too weak and low-rooted to endure well the effects of Winter's changes of temperature. Similar causes affect the condition of wheat in Missouri, but a great improvement over last year is reported, and a still more favorable condition exists in Kansas. In Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, as is knower, very little Winter wheat is produced, but jull reports are given of such experiments. The mdications from California all point to another year of great abundance, scarcely @ county reporting an unfavorable con- dition, Asa whole, the Wheat prospect at the close of this Winter is more favorable than at the same date 1g 1872 FATAL DISASTER AND A STRIKE IN THE MINING DISTRICTS. An explosion of fire-damp occurred to-day in a coal mine in the parish of Rheuabon, North Wales, by which several miners were killed and wounded, Twenty thousand coal miners in Leicestershire have struck work, EMIGRATION OF SKILLED OPERATIVES.

He also opposed the payment of any portion of the Geneva award in Exchequer bonds, Mr. Childers defended the government and drew @ contrast between its administration of the treasury and that of the conservatives when they were in power. The resolutions were finally passed, except that reducing the duties on sugar one-half, which Mr. Lowe propesed should be recommitted. OCEAN TELEGRAPHS.

OUR COLORED CITIZENS. Colored People to Have Equal Rights with White Citizens, as to Admission to Steamboats, Hotels and Places of Amusement. The colored people of this State are now in possession of the full rights of citizens. A bill has passed the Legislature, and received the signature of the Governor, by which innkeepers, common carriers, by land or water, managers of theatres: and other places of amusement, and even cemetery associations, are prevented from making a dis- crimination against any one, on account of color, who may ask for the privileges usually given to white people. A defining clause of the bill also repeals all past legislation that is contrary to the above require- ments. A GERMAN, PRINTERS! UNION. PHILADELPHIA, April 24, 1873. Delegates representing the German printers of different sections of the country were still in ses- sion during the day and this evening, the business before the meeting being the production and adop- tion of a constitution and bylaws for the propoess new national society of German printers, It will probably take all of te-morrow to perfect the plan of government of the society, alter which the work of organization will be completed, The primary motive which led te the formation of the association was the complaint of Ger- man printers that owing to their limited knowl- edge of the English language they could not properly represent their interests in societies already existing. The design is to arrange with the International Typographical Society so as to exchange cards with that body—that is, to have cards issued by German societies honored by the National Typographigal Society and vice versa, It is expected that the labors of the organizers will be completed this week.

Why Landlords Should and Should Not Object. WHO IS TO BLAME? When Tupper gave birth to the sentiment, baby in the house is a well-spring of pleasure,” he certainly could not have known the beautics of house-hunting enjoyed by the progenitors and pro- prietors of more than one of the aforesaid ‘“well- springs,’’ nor could he have had any idea ef th- genus or species of New York landlord, =< HERALD a few days since was publ - an the a foot-sore and, undoubte" ed the wall of hunter, in which wey -vwi, heartsore her’, tion, “What 2 contained tW3 Sminous ques- eral 80 yong cal we do with the children?” sey- Of whinn eo.

To THE Eprron ov Tar HekauDe te , fread your correspondent’s letter of April 23, asking What shall we do with the children? { answer, cOnuc! and manage them so that they will net damage ;OUur_landlord’s property. Ifa man owns a house his on./dren will net damage tt, because he will not let themt, m.!4 also because they have a sense of ownership init. i, however, the house belongs to somebody else, Newer the tenant nor his children will take any care or tf I ence rented a house to @ man with a wife and 6Ix children. In two eat they left. My house was much damaged; the children had broken the slats off the shutters and many of the panes out of the windows, cut and scratehed the banisters, chopped three or four holes through the basement fleor and dropped stones and dat irons in the water closets. ‘The walls were all marked and scratched, with mal nails left in as an evidence of the children’s mechamical skill. I “swore off” on children, and now rent the house for $400 leas than it is worth to # man and wife without the landiord’s curse—children. People who cannot buy houses and cannot control their children eught not to have them. As itis, children are our masters, and ev day they grow more tyrannical. The Methodist miniater was preperly punished for his darge family. With his small prospects and small Fog he had ne business to have so large a family. I ook upon @ poor man with a large family as no more deserving consideration than a drunkard, a glutton ora gambler. If people choese to load themyetyes: down with many children it is their own fanlt. In the seronele for existence they will go down, while the chaste, continent and provi- lent will rise up and enjoy the good things of this life. Men‘ought not to marry under thirty; by that time they ether will have accumulated savings or ot positions justifying them in marrying, or will have proved themselves iailures, when they have no business to marry. LLL. AN OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER rises to explain the matter, and ifit be fair to Judge of the ability and capability of the class which taught the young idea how to shoot from the style of her chtrography and orthography there must have been reom for improvement among mothers in her time. She does not explain how or when there came a change in the fashion of maternity. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Do you wish to know the reason why Landlords once to children? [ will tell you. The children are not, made to mind, but have there own way, they can destroy everything, no matter what; now; the children, are not to blame, it is the parents—especially the mother, she has the training of them while young, and break there faults, while they are young, and teach them what is right now untel we have the old fashioned mothers, we cannot expect to have well trained children—for that reason—we do not care to have them areund us, by inserting this you will oblige an old fashioned MOTHER. “ON THE GROUND OF SELF-DEFENCE.” A correspondent who signs himself or herself “Pp, W."” sides with the landlords in opposition to the average ‘family with children.” He or she is “superstitious” ®beut children; but, well, let him or her explain :— To THE EDItoR OF THE HERALD :— To me a@ pleasant child is the most attractive thing in this world. Il am “superstitious” in regard tothem. I feel it is better to have them in the house, fer ‘their angels do ever stand before our Father’s face.” I am not a landlord, never was, nor have I very sanguine expectations of ever bemg one. Nevertheless, with all my love of children and my faint hopes of becoming a land- lord, 1 declare that if | was the possessor of a de- cent habitation Lshould consider myself justified, on the simple ground of self-defence, to deny its use to the average ‘family with children.” It is neediess to pile up the 10,000 ex- asperating reasons that can be given by all landlords, and their tenants, who pay their money to live in peace, why children are ebjected to. ‘Those who complain the loudest do not need any information on that head, as is proven by a tact well known—that whenever they become landlords they are the most inexorable against the admission of children, They know, you know. Scratched and bedaubed walls and banisters; “jumping the rope” over your head; the halls turned into a stamping ground and raceway for half the children in the neighborhood; ‘‘mind your own business’’ to the most gentle protest—these things, and many more, *‘too humerous to mention,” ougat to tend toward solving the problem, “What are we to do with our children? And, mind, to begin right “do” yourself first. PW. NINE IN FAMILY—A PROPOSITION. The lady who writes the following letter suifers from the antl-infant crusade to a painful degree. Her suggestion is worth noting and her plaints are rather touching :— To THE Epitor or THR HERALD:— I have nine in family—my husband, four littie boys, three Digest ga and myself, My eldest is a boy of eleven and very quiet for his age; in fact, none of my littie ones are rompisk. My husband | is employed at a fair salary. If his wages have not increased as fast as his family I do not think it is his fault; but he earns now more than he did when we were first married, tweive years ago. I bother you with these things so as you can understand luy position, The rooms we have occupiec. for the last five years have been growing too small | for as, and we have ojiten thought of shifting, but dislike change. This year the land- lord gave us notice that be would raise the rent $5. This we could not well afford, but if we bad to pinch ourselves to pay it we thought we might aw well try to be better suited, First we appealed to the landlord Ghee the rise, but he said he guessed we couldn’t afford it when he made it, and the fact was we had too many children, and he didn’t want us anyhow. My husband and I never felt ashamed in our lives before. 1 had a good cry when Iweut beme again, and then I went house- hunting. Roughness and rudeness and reproaches met me everywhere. It was God's will, I’m sure, that | have had so many children, and we read heaps about how good “olive branches” are in the eyes of the Lord. | am not a dis- grace to anybody. My home and children are clean and decent, and God knows | I wouldn't part with one of them for all the | wealth of Stewart's store. Ihave been out every day for the last ten days three and tour hours a day, and have done my housework as weil, and haven’t got @ place yet. “Seven children! Seven children!” is what they all cry, an@ say, “No ma’am.”” I don’t think it is right to be brutal in this way. Tread your article and that mother's letter in the HERALD, and | write to you to shew sheis not alone. Don't you think there onglt to be a law forbidding landlords to refuse decent, paying families because they have children. A | jotel nan ts bound to take you in by law if you are not a bad character, Why hot make the tenement house landlord like the hotel man? There must be something done, or it will be a poor encourage- ment to healthy people about to marry. As itis with me, I tear we shall be forced to submit to the extortion of our present landlord.
