Niagara Falls and its surroundings being now in the hands of a confederacy of pirates, the idea is suggested of con verting the American side into a National park. ' ; Tiie decayed state of things developed in the strongly Democratic counties of Fairfield and Butler shows the appropriateness of the word "spoiled" as applied to the Democratic organization by Mr. Groesbeck. An Allen county movement has broken out among the Democrats of Calhoun county, Illinois, many of whom have signed a declaration of independence of their party, and.arc now in n state of high revolt. C t . i - r , B. Burns, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, served three months in the Union army, and opposed Vallandigham's election as Governor.' It U not expected that the enthusiasm of Val's admirers for Mr. Burns will be violent.Caleb Cusbino having come out triumphant in his legal bout with the dog nuisance, a New Jersey person lias been encouraged to try the law as a means of relief from the steam whistle nuisance, lie will be morally supported by the sympathy of a great many sufferers. The fact that Columbus has no Board of Health fills the Toledo mind with astonishment. The truth is the health of our city is so good that such an organization is superfluous, but of course the case is different amid the agueish marshes of the Maumee. We are not surprised that Toledo has a Board of Health wouldn't be if it had several of them. While Congressmen nre being denounced for complicity , in the back pay grab, the Chaplain of the United States Senate should be affectionately borne in mind. He is traveling abroad " inspecting Consulates " on a gold salary of eight dollars a day, and drawing meanwhile his salary of $900 for imaginary services as Chaplain. If this is not a useless expenditure of public money, what is ? No one will be surprised that the North German Gazette, speaking for Prince Bismarck, disavows the Infamous sentiments put into his mouth by a New York World reporter. It will be remembered that the Prince was made to say he would, if he could, extirpate the idea of God, and substitute the State as an object of worship, besides a great deal more of such nonsense. The Gazette explicitly stigmatizes this as a disgusting invention, having its origin, probably, in tho machinations of the Jesuits. It may be the opinion of the Cincinnati Enquirer that a real farmer has but little show to be elected Treasurer of State over a Democratic politician, but the farmers of Ohio and a great many other intelligent people think differently. 'Mr. Welch has been all his Ufa and still is a practical agriculturist, but he is the last man to make a parade of that fact, and that is why we have taken pains to mention it. A better representative of the farming interest could not be found, nor a better Treasurer. His administration of that office for one term has shown him to be a man of rare business capacity, with an uncommon fund of good hard sense. The farmers of the 8tate will show their appreciation of these facts when the time for voting comes. , Tub Democracy say in their platform they will "continue to denounce and oppose" as they "have always denounced and opposed" land grants to corporations. But the fact is that whatever credit or blame attaches to the inauguration of the land grant business belongs to the Democracy. The first grant was that of two and a half million acres to the Illinois Central by a Democratic Congress. Stephen A. Douglass was the author of this measure, and worked it through both Houses. Prior to 1858 it was followed by thirtynine other grants, making an aggregate amount of over thirtyon Billion acres of the public lands given to railways by Democ ratio Congresses. When the Bourbons resolved that they had always denounced land grants they had probably forgotten then facts. But then Democratic principles are "suited to all times and circumstances.'

Free tlovemment la Spain Recent news of its military success re vives hope for the Spanish . Republic. The insurgents have surrendered Valen cia, and the Carlists have met with several decided repulse. The new Ministry under Salmeron seems to have acted with prudence and vigor quite in contrast with the feeble, hesitating policy of Pi y Mar-gall, and although it has been in power but a few weeks, and been but doubtfully sustained by the fickle and inconstant Cortes, has produced a change in the whole current of affairs, both marked and gratifying. All friends of (freedom will earnestly hope for a continuance of this wise' and energetic administration, and that the tide of Republican success now set in motion may not ebb until it shall have swept the last vestiges of insurrection, whether Carllst or Communist, out of existence. " It is of course premature yet to reckon confidently upon such a result, and the truth is that with all the difficulties that beset it within and without, the chances for the permanency of the Republic are not flattering. Yet we shall not be among those who will accept its overthrow as cv- idence that free government in Spain is impossible. On the contrary, we do most decidedly believe it is quite possible, and that the time is ripe for it. Not because the Spaniards are, as a people, yet edu cated up to the level of republican ideas, although their education in that line has not been so much neglected as many sup pose. But the way to qualify a nation for freedom is to make it free. " Many politicians of our time," says Macaulay, are in the habit of laving it down as a self-evident proposi bon that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their free' dom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim If men are to wait for liberty until they become wise and good in slavery, they may indeed wait forever." Our own freed-men have acquired more preparation for freedom during the few years they have enjoyed it, than they could have done in a cycle of bondage. The Spaniards will learn more of the genius of republican liberty in one year of a true republic than they will in fifty years of monarchy. To qualify Spain for freedom, make her free. But it is a great mistake to suppose the Spanish people have never before had a practical knowledge of self-govern ment. Five centuries ago they learned its lessons more perfectly and practiced them more thoroughly than almost any nation In Europe. It is true the govern ment at that time was monarchial in form, but it was neither consolidated nor abso. lute. Leon, Navarre, Aragon and Cas. tile for a long time constituted separate and independent States, each having son 01 elective constitutional govern ment. The feudal system prevailed, of course, but, excepting in Aragon, vil-lenage, or the exclusion of the peasant from civil rights, was never established, Not only ench State, but each chartered town or community, success fully maintained its independence against all tyrannical encroachments of the crown, and enjoyed all the substantial immunities of elective local self-government. Royal prerogative was held as a concession from the people, and a very limited concession at that. Personal rights were strictly respected, taxes were granted rather than levied, and military service volunteered rather than exacted. In all important particulars the people were as free, and indeed in many respects freer, than are a large majority of British subjects now, in possession of all the reforms and franchises granted them. ' " ! When Castile and Aragon were consolidated under Ferdinand and Isabella, these constitutional immunities and privileges were preserved without modification or abatement. The right of taxation was based upon consent, and the Crown could obtain no supplies without the acquiescence of the Cortes. Illegal impositions by the King were boldly resisted by the legislative authority, and when the royal mandate embraced unconstitutional requirements, it was quietly and effectually nullified by resolution that it be "obeyed but not complied with," It was no unfre-quent thing for the Cortes to refuse to grant more than half the allowances demanded, and even to rebuke the King sharply for extravagance in his expenditures.The lawmaking, as well as the taxing power, was vested exclusively in the representatives of the people. Laws could be neither made nor annulled except in the Cortes, to whose enactments the King himself was obliged to swear obedience. The succession of the Crown was acknowl edged and confirmed by the Cortes, and theoretically, at least, no treaty, alliance, declaration of war, or " other important thing" could be made or done without the assent of that body. The administration of justice, also, was substantially independent of royal control. The alcaldes) or municipal judges, were either elect ed by the community at large, or ap pointed by the governing body, unless by special sanction their selection was dele gated to the King, in which case they had to be chosen from among the citizens of the town in which they were to serve. The freedom of the courts was placed beyond royal interference, and their decrees could neither be altered or revoked, though they might be revised, by the Crown. No citizen could be pnt to death or imprisoned without due process of law, and properly was in like manner pity-tec ted from unlawful seizure. Such were the main features of the ancient government of Castile and Aragon long before and also long after the accession of Ferdinand. They embrace the outlines of a political system more free and mora perfect than 8pain has ever since enjoyed, and which shows that her people wen not, at least in her early history, incapable of asserting their rights and zealously maintaining their liberties. It is hardly reasonable to suppose they are less competent to do so now than they were four or five centuries ago, or that they may not yet equally exercise the rights and enjoy the benefits of individual and constitutional freedom. If Spain was fitted during the Middle Ages for a monarchy so limited as to bear a resemblance to a Confederated republic, she is certainly by this time not very far from being prepared for a government based upon the consent of the governed.

The scene was a terrible one, and almost caused a panic. BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH. The Philadelphia official excursionists arrived in San Francisco Sunday night. The President passed through Portland.

The Menonites who arrived at New York Friday, have decided to make Minnesota their home, and left yesterday for St. Paul. Gold operations ill Wall street Saturday have given rise to a feeling that the cold clique proposes trying again the tactics which led to " Black Friday," and the bears are preparing an appeal to the Presi dent to interfere on this occasion in time to prevent the bulls from succeeding. A Washington dispatch savs it is an nounced that on Friday next the President will celebrate his silver wedding at Long Branch, on which occasion there will be present not only the immediate relatives but several members of the Cabinet, and a host of friends from New York. News from Hawaii, per Costa Kica. savs the King favors the adoption of a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and an official decision to that effect is published, which says the treaty gives new lite to the attairs or the Kingdom. The King also favors the cession of Pearl harbor to the United States for a naval station. The crop reports from Arkansas are very flattering except in Independent county. The late rains have brought out the corn and cotton finely. Reports from Mississippi are conflicting, but in the main are more favorable than heretofore. Some sections which have suffered from drought are now deluged with rain. In Western Tennessee the fine rains of the past week have proved beneficial, and planters are sanguine of good crops. A letter from the Yellow Stone expedi tion says a stir was created by the arrest of General Custar by General Stanley, and that Uistar marched in rear of his command one whole day before he was released. Custar'a men denounced the arrest as an act of tyrany, while Stanley's men sustained their commander, lien. Stanley also caused the destruction of all liquors in camp, the infantry sutler losing six barrels and the cavalry sutler seven. Prof. Watson, of the Ann Arbor.

GLEE CLUB EXCURSION. On the Itond On tho Water On the Islniiil-Neoncs nnd Incidents. About as jolly a crowd as ever left this city, bent on pleasure and enjoying everything that should turn up, went uub uu the B. and O. train last Thursday, with Put-in-Bay as destination, and all the fun possible during the trip as part of the programme. There were upward of thir ty in the party, of which, of course, the Glee Club made the central figure. Ever and anon the boys would break out into a chorus and sing with their usual spirit and vigor, enjoying it themselves and bringing pleasure to all listeners. So the time flew by rapidly. At Shelby Junc tion, James Patterson and family of this city, and Mrs. Butler and daughter joined the number and enjoyed the music until the train reached Sandusky. The steamer Riverside was to have taken the party over to Put-in-Bay, but by some accident she was not nble to fill her contract. But the Jay Cooke was there, and thanks to the perfect arrangements between thePutin-Bay House and Baltimore and Ohio railroad, there was no delay in the trans fer of baggage, and soon the steamer Btarted on her way. The "Boys" com menced to sing Boon ntter, but there was considerable wind, and, ns a natural consequence, the water was in a rather ex cited state, which made the boat rock bo much that the singing grew faint, and bo did the singers. One after another they dropped their parts of the music and went to look at the beautiful water. Judging from the amount of observation which the water received during that trip, I should sny that there must have been something attractive about it, and I guess there was. But without any serious damage the party reached Put-in Bajfc where they were welcomed by Col. Sweny and escorted to the office where the smiling countenance of Mr. Pitts greeted them from the desk and rooms were quickly assigned them, and the most of them were quite ready to go to bed. The next day was given up to seeing friends, making acquaintances, putting in the time in the thousand and one ways at hand in such a place until evening, when the first singing of the club was to take place, at " Stacey t" "Stacey's" is on Middle Bass Island, about two miles from Put-in Hay, and is reached by the little steamer Golden Eagle, which plies between the islands, making trips every fifteen minutes. The Club sang excellently, and their voices sounded well in the great hall. Tho Club, one and all. voted Mr. Stacev a trump, and appreciate the many courtesies received from his hands, which were continued during their stay. un Saturday evening the Club sang on the lawn in front of the Put-in-Bay House, and afterward by special request in the ball room, the dancers stopping to listen and giving the closest attention to all the music. After each piece,whenever the Club sang, the heartiest applause came freely, Mr. Frillman received a warm reception, and was called uoon time and again for a solo, and sang most accommodatingly , and made many friends. as well as admirers ot his splendid voice. A request was made by some of the Episcopal congregation that members of the Club would sing on Sunday morning, which was politely acceded to, and quite a number of the members attended church and sang. In the evening a great number of the guests gathered in the office and listened to the Club render some of their best music, and again Mr. Frill-man was called upon for a solo, and answered the call by singing several times. Afterward in the hotel parlor some sacred music was sung, and the evening closed by singing the long meter Doxology, which brought forth a round of applause; something a little new to many, who heard the old tune applauded for the first time. On Monday morning the greater number of the singess left, some few remaining for a little more enjoyment. Taken altogether the trip was accounted a great success by all who participated. The members of the Club think that much of the pleasure of the trip was added by the politeness and exertion of several gen- tlemen. As before- said, Mr. Stacey was one who made many friends by courtesies extended. One and all with perfect unanimity express the conviction that Walter Morrison is one of the very best fellows in the world to meet, and when he undertakes to take care of a party he does the thing up thoroughly. And Col. Sweeny looked after the "boys" with a fatherly interest, which secured for them many substantial favors and enjoyments iu ue appreciated upon Bticli an occasion. Mr. Pitts has endeared himsAlf in manv of the party by the uniform Doliteness and courtesy which one and all received from his hands and "aid extended in time of neeo." But much of the pleasure of the trip is to come in the talking over of the good, bad and indifferent times and inci dents which happened by accident and design. Of the funny incidents can only bo enjoyed by "Mussey and the resv oi uie uoys, wno nave seen and laughed at them, and to these the fun will grow funnier and the serious grow lighter.

General Spinner has tersely stated some of the obstacles to the resumption specie payments in a recent letter. He says: Many obstacles have thus far been and they continue to be in the way of resump. tion of specie DaymentB. The -friends of a sound currency have themselves retard ed tne return to specie payments by insisting that the onlv wav to brinir aim nr. the desired result is to reduce the volume of paper currency; that the first duty of the Government is to return to specie payments, and that the exchange of loans bearing a high rate of interest for a lower one should be deferred until after that event, ihis has enlisted the opposition of a very large class of our citizens, who are otherwise sound on the main question, but who contend that it is better and more economical withal to retire the loans on which a high rate of interest is naiil than a loan on which no interest whatsoever is paid. Then come the real opponents of the measure per se. uniel among these is the debtor class, which in this country is largely in the majority. The persons constituting tnis majority desire to pay their debts with cheap money. Next come the manufacturers. These have learned that the suspension increases their protection against the importation of foreign fabrics by the amount that the paper money is depreciated below that in which impost duties are collected. Then come the National banks, which by suspension are relieved from the (to thein) most irksome duty the redemption of tneir circulating notes in coin. There are many other interests that naturally combine with those named, all acting in the firm belief that the suspension of specie payments is oenehcial to them. Our Government being strictly representative, of course a large majority of the members of Congress are elected to repre sent ana carryout toe views ot their constituencies. Thus resumption has been, ano i imnK win continue to be, put off until the time you speak of, "when the balance of trade shall be in our favor." When that time arrives resumntion will be easy; in truth, it will from that cause come ot its own accord. The Project for nn Inter-Oceanic uanai. The Navy Department will submit to uongress during the first days of the ses sion a complete report on the subject of an inter-oceanic canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. All the available routes, the Tehuantepec, Nicarauguan, and Darien have been carefully surveyed and mapped. The information respecting the advantages of the respective projects is very complete, anu ait that is necessary is some final action on the part of Con gress to insure the completion of one of these canals at an early day. That which seems to meet with the most favor is what is known as the Nassipi route on the Isthmus of Darien. The Nassipi and Atrato rivers being made tributary to the canal, requir ing nut aoout twentyeight miles of dig ging to connect them. At both ends of the line there are fine harbors and a safe approach. The cost will be $100,000,000. I t is hardly possible for a private corporation to accomplish the work. It might, however, be made an international affair on this hemisphere. There are several schemes suggested. An effort will be made to get the matter agitated in Con gress during the coming session. Chicago claims at present to have a population of 405,000, a figure which it arrives at through a calculation based upon the newly published Chicago direc tory. In this work there are 133,043 names, each of which, it is said, represents three and onelialt persons, and multmlv- ing that number by 3 results in a total of 4oo,Uo" . This would represent a growth since the census of 1870 was taken of over 166,000 in population, or more than fifty per cent., a ratio of increase considerably in advance even of Chicago's usual rapid strides. The people of Chicago, however, can never be made to believe that the census of 1870 gave a fair report of their population, although in this respect their disappointment was only the same as that felt by the people of several other large cities of the United States, which the census did not show to be as large as they inougni tney were. A letter from Rome savs the Svndec hss posted up a notice prohibiting all persons unucr pretense vi uihkuik pilgrimages, whether singly or iq groups, from passing through the city. It is regarded as a fanaticism not to be encouraged, and as a means used for keeping up political excitement, as well as detrimental to public neaun, in allowing a great crowd to come together at Assisi or other similar places, with very imperfect means of accommo dation, and might be attended with as serious harm as the Mussulman pilgrimages to Mecca, which have served to propagate cholera and other maladies. " We put down South Carolina nullifi cation, and how f By calling out 75,000 men? No! By murdering seven or eight hundred thousand men ? By making a million and a half of orphans in this country? Thai's not the work that Democrats have done. Those bloody scenes were re served for the ahelitionists to produce." II uoam Alien, speech of Sept. IStW. The National Revenue Reform Associ ation of New York, has addressed a communication to the Secretary of the Treasury, asking him to revoke the order re cently issued by Collector Arthur, of the Custom House, requiring merchants in person to make affidavits of entrees.

Niagara Falls and its surroundings being now in the hands of a confederacy of pirates, the idea is suggested of con verting the American side into a National park. ' ; Tiie decayed state of things developed in the strongly Democratic counties of Fairfield and Butler shows the appropriateness of the word "spoiled" as applied to the Democratic organization by Mr. Groesbeck. An Allen county movement has broken out among the Democrats of Calhoun county, Illinois, many of whom have signed a declaration of independence of their party, and.arc now in n state of high revolt. C t . i - r , B. Burns, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, served three months in the Union army, and opposed Vallandigham's election as Governor.' It U not expected that the enthusiasm of Val's admirers for Mr. Burns will be violent.Caleb Cusbino having come out triumphant in his legal bout with the dog nuisance, a New Jersey person lias been encouraged to try the law as a means of relief from the steam whistle nuisance, lie will be morally supported by the sympathy of a great many sufferers. The fact that Columbus has no Board of Health fills the Toledo mind with astonishment. The truth is the health of our city is so good that such an organization is superfluous, but of course the case is different amid the agueish marshes of the Maumee. We are not surprised that Toledo has a Board of Health wouldn't be if it had several of them. While Congressmen nre being denounced for complicity , in the back pay grab, the Chaplain of the United States Senate should be affectionately borne in mind. He is traveling abroad " inspecting Consulates " on a gold salary of eight dollars a day, and drawing meanwhile his salary of $900 for imaginary services as Chaplain. If this is not a useless expenditure of public money, what is ? No one will be surprised that the North German Gazette, speaking for Prince Bismarck, disavows the Infamous sentiments put into his mouth by a New York World reporter. It will be remembered that the Prince was made to say he would, if he could, extirpate the idea of God, and substitute the State as an object of worship, besides a great deal more of such nonsense. The Gazette explicitly stigmatizes this as a disgusting invention, having its origin, probably, in tho machinations of the Jesuits. It may be the opinion of the Cincinnati Enquirer that a real farmer has but little show to be elected Treasurer of State over a Democratic politician, but the farmers of Ohio and a great many other intelligent people think differently. 'Mr. Welch has been all his Ufa and still is a practical agriculturist, but he is the last man to make a parade of that fact, and that is why we have taken pains to mention it. A better representative of the farming interest could not be found, nor a better Treasurer. His administration of that office for one term has shown him to be a man of rare business capacity, with an uncommon fund of good hard sense. The farmers of the 8tate will show their appreciation of these facts when the time for voting comes. , Tub Democracy say in their platform they will "continue to denounce and oppose" as they "have always denounced and opposed" land grants to corporations. But the fact is that whatever credit or blame attaches to the inauguration of the land grant business belongs to the Democracy. The first grant was that of two and a half million acres to the Illinois Central by a Democratic Congress. Stephen A. Douglass was the author of this measure, and worked it through both Houses. Prior to 1858 it was followed by thirtynine other grants, making an aggregate amount of over thirtyon Billion acres of the public lands given to railways by Democ ratio Congresses. When the Bourbons resolved that they had always denounced land grants they had probably forgotten then facts. But then Democratic principles are "suited to all times and circumstances.'

Free tlovemment la Spain Recent news of its military success re vives hope for the Spanish . Republic. The insurgents have surrendered Valen cia, and the Carlists have met with several decided repulse. The new Ministry under Salmeron seems to have acted with prudence and vigor quite in contrast with the feeble, hesitating policy of Pi y Mar-gall, and although it has been in power but a few weeks, and been but doubtfully sustained by the fickle and inconstant Cortes, has produced a change in the whole current of affairs, both marked and gratifying. All friends of (freedom will earnestly hope for a continuance of this wise' and energetic administration, and that the tide of Republican success now set in motion may not ebb until it shall have swept the last vestiges of insurrection, whether Carllst or Communist, out of existence. " It is of course premature yet to reckon confidently upon such a result, and the truth is that with all the difficulties that beset it within and without, the chances for the permanency of the Republic are not flattering. Yet we shall not be among those who will accept its overthrow as cv- idence that free government in Spain is impossible. On the contrary, we do most decidedly believe it is quite possible, and that the time is ripe for it. Not because the Spaniards are, as a people, yet edu cated up to the level of republican ideas, although their education in that line has not been so much neglected as many sup pose. But the way to qualify a nation for freedom is to make it free. " Many politicians of our time," says Macaulay, are in the habit of laving it down as a self-evident proposi bon that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their free' dom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim If men are to wait for liberty until they become wise and good in slavery, they may indeed wait forever." Our own freed-men have acquired more preparation for freedom during the few years they have enjoyed it, than they could have done in a cycle of bondage. The Spaniards will learn more of the genius of republican liberty in one year of a true republic than they will in fifty years of monarchy. To qualify Spain for freedom, make her free. But it is a great mistake to suppose the Spanish people have never before had a practical knowledge of self-govern ment. Five centuries ago they learned its lessons more perfectly and practiced them more thoroughly than almost any nation In Europe. It is true the govern ment at that time was monarchial in form, but it was neither consolidated nor abso. lute. Leon, Navarre, Aragon and Cas. tile for a long time constituted separate and independent States, each having son 01 elective constitutional govern ment. The feudal system prevailed, of course, but, excepting in Aragon, vil-lenage, or the exclusion of the peasant from civil rights, was never established, Not only ench State, but each chartered town or community, success fully maintained its independence against all tyrannical encroachments of the crown, and enjoyed all the substantial immunities of elective local self-government. Royal prerogative was held as a concession from the people, and a very limited concession at that. Personal rights were strictly respected, taxes were granted rather than levied, and military service volunteered rather than exacted. In all important particulars the people were as free, and indeed in many respects freer, than are a large majority of British subjects now, in possession of all the reforms and franchises granted them. ' " ! When Castile and Aragon were consolidated under Ferdinand and Isabella, these constitutional immunities and privileges were preserved without modification or abatement. The right of taxation was based upon consent, and the Crown could obtain no supplies without the acquiescence of the Cortes. Illegal impositions by the King were boldly resisted by the legislative authority, and when the royal mandate embraced unconstitutional requirements, it was quietly and effectually nullified by resolution that it be "obeyed but not complied with," It was no unfre-quent thing for the Cortes to refuse to grant more than half the allowances demanded, and even to rebuke the King sharply for extravagance in his expenditures.The lawmaking, as well as the taxing power, was vested exclusively in the representatives of the people. Laws could be neither made nor annulled except in the Cortes, to whose enactments the King himself was obliged to swear obedience. The succession of the Crown was acknowl edged and confirmed by the Cortes, and theoretically, at least, no treaty, alliance, declaration of war, or " other important thing" could be made or done without the assent of that body. The administration of justice, also, was substantially independent of royal control. The alcaldes) or municipal judges, were either elect ed by the community at large, or ap pointed by the governing body, unless by special sanction their selection was dele gated to the King, in which case they had to be chosen from among the citizens of the town in which they were to serve. The freedom of the courts was placed beyond royal interference, and their decrees could neither be altered or revoked, though they might be revised, by the Crown. No citizen could be pnt to death or imprisoned without due process of law, and properly was in like manner pity-tec ted from unlawful seizure. Such were the main features of the ancient government of Castile and Aragon long before and also long after the accession of Ferdinand. They embrace the outlines of a political system more free and mora perfect than 8pain has ever since enjoyed, and which shows that her people wen not, at least in her early history, incapable of asserting their rights and zealously maintaining their liberties. It is hardly reasonable to suppose they are less competent to do so now than they were four or five centuries ago, or that they may not yet equally exercise the rights and enjoy the benefits of individual and constitutional freedom. If Spain was fitted during the Middle Ages for a monarchy so limited as to bear a resemblance to a Confederated republic, she is certainly by this time not very far from being prepared for a government based upon the consent of the governed.

A Washington dispatch savs it is an nounced that on Friday next the President will celebrate his silver wedding at Long Branch, on which occasion there will be present not only the immediate relatives but several members of the Cabinet, and a host of friends from New York. News from Hawaii, per Costa Kica. savs the King favors the adoption of a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and an official decision to that effect is published, which says the treaty gives new lite to the attairs or the Kingdom.

The late rains have brought out the corn and cotton finely. Reports from Mississippi are conflicting, but in the main are more favorable than heretofore. Some sections which have suffered from drought are now deluged with rain. In Western Tennessee the fine rains of the past week have proved beneficial, and planters are sanguine of good crops. A letter from the Yellow Stone expedi tion says a stir was created by the arrest of General Custar by General Stanley, and that Uistar marched in rear of his command one whole day before he was released.

BY TELEGRAPH 10 TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL PITTSBURG. Seven lb Annual Reunion or Army of (be Cumberland. PiTTSBMia, Aug. 18. The seventh an nual reunion of the Army of the Cumberland will be held at Pittsburg on the 17th and 18th of September. The local Exeo- uuve committee, of which Gen. James S. Negley is chairman and Col. Norman Bmitu secretary, has been at work for some time perfecting arrangements, and there is every promise that the affair will be one of the largest and most interratinir ever held. The several sub-committees are making good progress in their work, and at a meeting of the general committee held last evening reports mode show that everything has been attended to so far as can be.

Weston insists that the report of her complicity with Lowenstein is false, and presents evidence of her innocence. She excites much sympathy here, as she says that on last Monday she suspected Lowenstein had murdered and robbed her husband; that Lowenstein had gone off with him and returned alone, with plenty of money and two pistols; that she went to two Brooklyn station houses to try and have Lowenstein arrested for robbing Weston, but failed, and that then she went to Philadelphia and for two days walked the streets in a rain storm, with her babe in her arms, looking for her husband.

GLEE CLUB EXCURSION. On the Itond On tho Water On the Islniiil-Neoncs nnd Incidents. About as jolly a crowd as ever left this city, bent on pleasure and enjoying everything that should turn up, went uub uu the B. and O. train last Thursday, with Put-in-Bay as destination, and all the fun possible during the trip as part of the programme. There were upward of thir ty in the party, of which, of course, the Glee Club made the central figure. Ever and anon the boys would break out into a chorus and sing with their usual spirit and vigor, enjoying it themselves and bringing pleasure to all listeners. So the time flew by rapidly. At Shelby Junc tion, James Patterson and family of this city, and Mrs. Butler and daughter joined the number and enjoyed the music until the train reached Sandusky. The steamer Riverside was to have taken the party over to Put-in-Bay, but by some accident she was not nble to fill her contract. But the Jay Cooke was there, and thanks to the perfect arrangements between thePutin-Bay House and Baltimore and Ohio railroad, there was no delay in the trans fer of baggage, and soon the steamer Btarted on her way. The "Boys" com menced to sing Boon ntter, but there was considerable wind, and, ns a natural consequence, the water was in a rather ex cited state, which made the boat rock bo much that the singing grew faint, and bo did the singers. One after another they dropped their parts of the music and went to look at the beautiful water. Judging from the amount of observation which the water received during that trip, I should sny that there must have been something attractive about it, and I guess there was. But without any serious damage the party reached Put-in Bajfc where they were welcomed by Col. Sweny and escorted to the office where the smiling countenance of Mr. Pitts greeted them from the desk and rooms were quickly assigned them, and the most of them were quite ready to go to bed. The next day was given up to seeing friends, making acquaintances, putting in the time in the thousand and one ways at hand in such a place until evening, when the first singing of the club was to take place, at " Stacey t" "Stacey's" is on Middle Bass Island, about two miles from Put-in Hay, and is reached by the little steamer Golden Eagle, which plies between the islands, making trips every fifteen minutes. The Club sang excellently, and their voices sounded well in the great hall. Tho Club, one and all. voted Mr. Stacev a trump, and appreciate the many courtesies received from his hands, which were continued during their stay. un Saturday evening the Club sang on the lawn in front of the Put-in-Bay House, and afterward by special request in the ball room, the dancers stopping to listen and giving the closest attention to all the music. After each piece,whenever the Club sang, the heartiest applause came freely, Mr. Frillman received a warm reception, and was called uoon time and again for a solo, and sang most accommodatingly , and made many friends. as well as admirers ot his splendid voice. A request was made by some of the Episcopal congregation that members of the Club would sing on Sunday morning, which was politely acceded to, and quite a number of the members attended church and sang. In the evening a great number of the guests gathered in the office and listened to the Club render some of their best music, and again Mr. Frill-man was called upon for a solo, and answered the call by singing several times. Afterward in the hotel parlor some sacred music was sung, and the evening closed by singing the long meter Doxology, which brought forth a round of applause; something a little new to many, who heard the old tune applauded for the first time. On Monday morning the greater number of the singess left, some few remaining for a little more enjoyment. Taken altogether the trip was accounted a great success by all who participated. The members of the Club think that much of the pleasure of the trip was added by the politeness and exertion of several gen- tlemen. As before- said, Mr. Stacey was one who made many friends by courtesies extended. One and all with perfect unanimity express the conviction that Walter Morrison is one of the very best fellows in the world to meet, and when he undertakes to take care of a party he does the thing up thoroughly. And Col. Sweeny looked after the "boys" with a fatherly interest, which secured for them many substantial favors and enjoyments iu ue appreciated upon Bticli an occasion. Mr. Pitts has endeared himsAlf in manv of the party by the uniform Doliteness and courtesy which one and all received from his hands and "aid extended in time of neeo." But much of the pleasure of the trip is to come in the talking over of the good, bad and indifferent times and inci dents which happened by accident and design. Of the funny incidents can only bo enjoyed by "Mussey and the resv oi uie uoys, wno nave seen and laughed at them, and to these the fun will grow funnier and the serious grow lighter.

General Spinner has tersely stated some of the obstacles to the resumption specie payments in a recent letter. He says: Many obstacles have thus far been and they continue to be in the way of resump. tion of specie DaymentB. The -friends of a sound currency have themselves retard ed tne return to specie payments by insisting that the onlv wav to brinir aim nr. the desired result is to reduce the volume of paper currency; that the first duty of the Government is to return to specie payments, and that the exchange of loans bearing a high rate of interest for a lower one should be deferred until after that event, ihis has enlisted the opposition of a very large class of our citizens, who are otherwise sound on the main question, but who contend that it is better and more economical withal to retire the loans on which a high rate of interest is naiil than a loan on which no interest whatsoever is paid. Then come the real opponents of the measure per se. uniel among these is the debtor class, which in this country is largely in the majority. The persons constituting tnis majority desire to pay their debts with cheap money. Next come the manufacturers. These have learned that the suspension increases their protection against the importation of foreign fabrics by the amount that the paper money is depreciated below that in which impost duties are collected. Then come the National banks, which by suspension are relieved from the (to thein) most irksome duty the redemption of tneir circulating notes in coin. There are many other interests that naturally combine with those named, all acting in the firm belief that the suspension of specie payments is oenehcial to them. Our Government being strictly representative, of course a large majority of the members of Congress are elected to repre sent ana carryout toe views ot their constituencies. Thus resumption has been, ano i imnK win continue to be, put off until the time you speak of, "when the balance of trade shall be in our favor." When that time arrives resumntion will be easy; in truth, it will from that cause come ot its own accord. The Project for nn Inter-Oceanic uanai. The Navy Department will submit to uongress during the first days of the ses sion a complete report on the subject of an inter-oceanic canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. All the available routes, the Tehuantepec, Nicarauguan, and Darien have been carefully surveyed and mapped. The information respecting the advantages of the respective projects is very complete, anu ait that is necessary is some final action on the part of Con gress to insure the completion of one of these canals at an early day. That which seems to meet with the most favor is what is known as the Nassipi route on the Isthmus of Darien. The Nassipi and Atrato rivers being made tributary to the canal, requir ing nut aoout twentyeight miles of dig ging to connect them. At both ends of the line there are fine harbors and a safe approach. The cost will be $100,000,000. I t is hardly possible for a private corporation to accomplish the work. It might, however, be made an international affair on this hemisphere. There are several schemes suggested. An effort will be made to get the matter agitated in Con gress during the coming session. Chicago claims at present to have a population of 405,000, a figure which it arrives at through a calculation based upon the newly published Chicago direc tory. In this work there are 133,043 names, each of which, it is said, represents three and onelialt persons, and multmlv- ing that number by 3 results in a total of 4oo,Uo" . This would represent a growth since the census of 1870 was taken of over 166,000 in population, or more than fifty per cent., a ratio of increase considerably in advance even of Chicago's usual rapid strides. The people of Chicago, however, can never be made to believe that the census of 1870 gave a fair report of their population, although in this respect their disappointment was only the same as that felt by the people of several other large cities of the United States, which the census did not show to be as large as they inougni tney were. A letter from Rome savs the Svndec hss posted up a notice prohibiting all persons unucr pretense vi uihkuik pilgrimages, whether singly or iq groups, from passing through the city. It is regarded as a fanaticism not to be encouraged, and as a means used for keeping up political excitement, as well as detrimental to public neaun, in allowing a great crowd to come together at Assisi or other similar places, with very imperfect means of accommo dation, and might be attended with as serious harm as the Mussulman pilgrimages to Mecca, which have served to propagate cholera and other maladies. " We put down South Carolina nullifi cation, and how f By calling out 75,000 men? No! By murdering seven or eight hundred thousand men ? By making a million and a half of orphans in this country? Thai's not the work that Democrats have done. Those bloody scenes were re served for the ahelitionists to produce." II uoam Alien, speech of Sept. IStW. The National Revenue Reform Associ ation of New York, has addressed a communication to the Secretary of the Treasury, asking him to revoke the order re cently issued by Collector Arthur, of the Custom House, requiring merchants in person to make affidavits of entrees.
