Don mrlo*.
The secession of Gen. Ramon Ca
brera from tlie uau.-so of Don Alfonso,
and Cabrera’s life, is a resume of the
history of tho present war in Spain.
Cabrera is a Catalonian iiy birth,
and was bom in ItHO. We was educa
ted for the priesthood.
The Matin biw, wbieh had existed ill
France since 131fi, became the law of
Spain early in the seventeenth cen
tury. The Malic law forbade the scep
tre passliiK into tho hands of a
female. King Ferdinand I 11. in IS3O
secretly abolished this law, und his
eldest daughter became, in eon se
quence, heir to the throne.
Don Carlos, brother of King Fer
dinand, anil rlgHTful successor to the
throne according to tho Satie daw,
raised Die standard of revolt against
the accession ol Isabella. 'JEhat Car
list war lasted six years, and termi
nated in March, IK, favorably to
Queen Isabella.
Gen. Cabrera, though young, i-as
given high command by Don Carlos.
In IH3B he became Lieutenant (ien
eral, and was <treated Duke de la Vic
toria Alter Curios hud retired, Ca
brera continued a guerilla war in the
mountains of Catalonia until July,
1840. This fact proved that he was
lighting for tho monarchical princi
ple as upheld by the Salle law. rather
than for I>on Carl os.
Don Carlos llnds his chief adher
ents in the Basque Proviriees, which
constitute almost a separate nation
ality from the rest of Hpoln; but lie
has numerous adherents throughout
Spain, owing to the validity of bis
claims and his personal prestige.
Cabrera’s defection is owing chiefly
to his devotion to tho Catholic
•Church, and to the fact that Alfonso
has announced his Intention of re
storing tho privileges and property
to the priosthood, whose influence
has waned under his Immediate pro-;
deeessors. Cabrera in this serves li -
ft mirror of the people of Spain.
In order to maintain the title, “Ills
Most Catholic Majesty,” and to up
hold Catholicism, the country Im
beon borne down under the weight of
superstition, church properties, and
ignorance, which has shut out enter- j
prise, barred the w ay toprogress, and
loft Spain a century behind her
neighbors in internal improvements.
Her empire Is In the p*fct, when the
Emjteryr Charles V. aspired to be the
successor of Charlemagne.
Cabrera’s defection is ominous of,
the failuroof the cause of Don Car
los. A Uisjiatch from Bayonne, of j
March 23d, says: “Don Carlos has;
issuod a decree declaring that Gen.
Cabrera lias forfeit*-d his former lion- 1
ors, and that, he shall be delivered
into tho hands of a military tribunal
for trial, if he falls into the hands of
the Carlisle.”
The l lllori-il nare.
The conduct of tho colored race, en
masse, slnec the possago of the Civil
Rights MR, is worthy all praise. It
has been, practically, in their power
for a long time in Mouth Carolina and
Florida to create trouble; bat, as a
rule, they have not shown any dispo
sition to foment a strife that Is inev
itable when they proceed too far. As
a people, they have shewn a desire
to boeomo good citizens, without
making themselves obnoxious. It is
only the idle, the vicious, and the
tools of designing politicians, yclept
“carpet-baggers,” that form the ex
ception to the rule. But, as a spark
or a single brand may cause a groat
conflagration, so do we deplore the
effect of the efforts of these mis
guided men.
It Is our policy to give employment
and protect ion to those who respect
themselves too much to thrust their
presence where It Is not desirable nor |
proper for them to be received: and
to discountenance, so emphatically
that starvation will be their portion, j
those who refuso to be guided by
wisdom, justice and moderation.
If the colored people will examine
tho decisions reached In tho North,
where they are not In such numbers
as to form an appreciable element in
the body politic or social, they will
perceive that every such decision is
against improper intrusion. They
will ultimately find out that tho Rad
icals cheat them with great promises
never to be totalled; and will see the
hypocrisy with which these people,
who live u thousand miles away from
them, seek to use them for their own
selfish ends.
—Griffin ffcu-f: A number of pro
gressive and spirited citizens of M[ aid
ing county, assembled in Griffin last
Saturday, and proceeded to organize
and make aranpements for a fair In

Agenthjman i'! larged with obtain.-,,
ing a husband for a lady agod 82, very
rich, and exacting only good conduct,
not fortune, in her intended, duly ad
vertised in thepapers. He com plains
that ho is overwhelmed with replies,
and from all parts of Europe. One is
u waiter In a cafe, another a German
Baron, a Roman Count, besides a po
lice clerk who seals his letter with
the official stamp of the Morgue.
There ure even dukes uuU viscounts,
and near relatives of crowned head.-.
Nearly all the unmarried officers in
the army list hero applied for the la- j
dy's hand. A retired shoemaker de
mands to become hor loving husband.
Not a single journalist it appears was
tempted by this eligible offer. In ad
vertising for men servants, It Is now!
the practice not only to stato height
and clrcutnferenco of chest, but also ,
to enclose photograph with copy of
testimonials. Among other novelties!
in advertising are announcing the j
baptism of children. One young lady
at a boarding school assures
an (fflmtrer that the governess in!
chargo of tho school when taking j
daily walks abroad is so short-sight- 1
ed us to be unable to perceive the ex- j
change of letters between passers-by.
According to custom, the fete given
by M. Arseni Houssaye, and his son
Henri who becomes an Italian
Prince by his approaching marriage,
has been a grand success. It is the
only neutral ground in Paris, where
all opinions and Indeed all classes of
society can meet; ambassadors,
princes, deputies, merchants, trades
men; titled ladies, actresses, and a
sprinkling of the fast female world.
All the fair sex wear dominoes -
white, black, red, cherry, and crim
son, so that it is impossible to know j
“who’s who.” The merry laughing, |
the repartees, the dancing with a 1
marked partner, the leading her to
supper, Ac. and being in a state of
cross ignorance as to who she may
be, constitute no small amusement.!
Oni* ludy was dressed as Katun; in:
scarlet, with figures of seorpionsV
flames, and littleßriflzelmbs; court!-'
sans left the Comte de Paris to see j
j her, and Hatters Alexandre Dumas !
for a few moments In the same end;
later in tho evening she appeared as;
an Indian widow, an equally aston- j
ishlng make up; her last costume!
! was as iwe Meneillcitsc of the Direc
tory ; her wit and epigrams were in
exhaustible; she sent Lord Lyons
■ into tits of laughter. M. Haussaye is
the leader of tho Bohemian world of I
Paris; he appears more as an Invited j
than us tho imst; there is not the;
shadow of formality about the whole j
entertainment; you are free to dance j
to seductive music, enjoy the gallery j
of paintings and statuary, lounge in!
the library among the choicest books, j
chat in the freinoir, stroll into tlie|
buffet, In fact make yourself at home, 1
and certain to encounter In everyone
a specimen of gaiety and good humor, j
The remark was made for the mil
lioneth time, why ure such successful
fetes tlie exclusive property of the
Houssayes.
The Autenil Bteeplo chases com-1
moneed last,Sunday business for the
season, amidst a persistent fall of;
line, blinding snow. This was called ;
the “spring meeting” to console;
Jitlelcs, crowds of whom attended, as j
the race is very popular. There wore j
oven a few ladies present, and in now
fashions too. The “prijc d'hivcr ’’ was ;
tho chief attraction on the card, and j
was quite in harmony with the day. ;
A lioree and a jockey tumbled into
tho stream, which was a compensa
ting excitement for the Arctic voya-:
gars. Much business was transacted i
on tlie field, not in tho way of betting, j
for the law has killed all this, hut in j
the sale of bouquets of violets with a |
snow drop in the centre, ns it such j
were necessary. Towards tlie close;
the venders of tho "krlet card” gave
you one and a rod egg or cigar, light
included, for two sous.
Tho theatre Ambigu-Coiniquo is
preparing a grand spectacle drama,
j in five acts and eight tableaux, by M.
Burbusse, founded on the Tiehborne
trial. Scenes will ho laid in all parts
of the world. Will an English audi
ence be equal to sitting it out in ease!
it bo translated ? The Folios-Begere j
have an extraordinary catching ballet,
where the dancers are dressed in
black, almost from the crown of the
\ head to the solo of the foot. A young
j ladies' hoarding school might be per
mitted to look at tin* performers.
| They are succeeded by a man who
! plays with cannon balls as a juggler
would with marbles. Ho also catches
an enormous bullet discharged by a
very respectable Woolwich infant.
He is tho gunner of the future.
A lady engaged a cabman at. ten in
the morning, and employed him in
cessantly till after midnight, save for
half an hour when she lunched. Mho
delivered letters to the house-porters
for their masters and mistresses.
Tho cubmnu at last struck, as
serted his Rozlnunto was knock
ed up, and demanded it settle
ment of accounts. Astho lady had
promised him a magnificent reward.
She kept her Word: She invited him
to become hestmau, at tlie approach- !
ing marriage of the Emperor of Mo
rocco aud Queen Victoria, letters of!
invitation too, which she had been i
distributing all day ; poor Cabby had!
still another ordeal to undergo, to!
drive her and a policeman to a luna
tic asylum.
Tho French custom house classes :
imported human hair in tlie same j
category as bones, skins, horns and
the "siKiils of animals;” in its un- j
worked state, hair sold at one time
only per fr. I per hi., but since 1852, !
when the fashion set in for chignons,!
false plaits, etc., tho price gradu
ally rose from fr. 20 in 18C3, to fr. 85, j
in 1871 ; when prepared for exporta
tion mounts tofr. list) the pound. It is ,
from Britain- and Auvergne that the!
best hair comes, some pure natural J
blond, selling as fr. 1,000 the pound. I
Alphonse Karr assorts, that had j

There was no public banquet among
the American colonists on the occa

As Kellogg is simply a tdandihg
-eaudnl to the country so long as hn, !
usurpation is successful, Mr. Grant s
action in maintaining him entitles j
him to tho censure of the Senate and ,
of everybody else. The President
has, however, done more than “main
tain ;” he has actively promoted Kel- j
logg's uireu|ion, wlik'li the unlaw- 1
fill order of a* corrupt and dniflken i
Federal judge made possible. Upon
Mr. Grant more than upon any other
one man rests tho responsibility, and
ought to rest the blame of the miser
able condition of things which we see
in Louisiana. Wtiat he deserves is
execration, and it Is a great surprise
to find men like Mr. Christiancy
joining in a vote of thunks to him for
anything whatever that he hos done!
or forborne to do in the whole busi
ness.- .V. V. World.
The passage of this resolution isi
the significant work of this session. I
It is the platform on which meet alii
the Union elements of the country. !
It received the vote of tlie entire Re-'
publican body of the Senate, includ- ;
ing Senator Robertson, of South Car- j
oliua, who had been counted against j
it, ami Senators Christiancy and An
gusCumeron, tho newly-ohoson Inde- j
pendent members.
And this is its meaning: It is the |
first plank of 187.
Tim resolution declares “That the
action of the President In protecting ;
the government in Louisiana, of i
which Wm. P. Kellogg is Executive,.
and tho people of that State against
domestic Violence; and enforcing the '
j laws of the United States, is up-J
proved.” Philadelphia Press.

Although the late Congress did not
scruple to impose thirty-five or forty
millions of additional taxes in the!
i last hours of its existence, not a sin
! gle earnest effort was made to reduce
tho most notorious extravagance, or

j and corrupt appropriation of the pub
' lie money to unworthy objects and
for personal uses was pursued us vi
, eiously as in the days of an overflow
! ing Treasury and an apparent general
i prosperity.
The amount of money voted to the
I President and for the White House
; exceeds tlie grants of former years,
and covers the scandalous frauds
which have heretofore attracted so

; with all preceding Presidents, the al
