At Madrid troops have been dispatched south, General Cache taking command. A rumor prevailed in Paris on Saturday that Queen Isabella had abdicated." A Paris dispatch of the 21st 'says Some reports say that the rising in Spain is no' a movement of the Liberals alone, but is supported by-all parties. It is stated that the revolutionists have failed at some points, owing to the want of leaders. The rumor that Queen Isabella will abdicate is generally discredited." Atlvices from Spain, received In London on the 32d, indicate that the revolution was spreading and gaining strength. Cadiz was occupied byjhe rebels on the 20th.

All the country, from Malaga to Carthagenia, was in arms. All the previous reports of the risingjn Golicia are confirmed.

Smith and five Republi- an members of the Legislature left for Washington this morning, with a memorial to the President, asking for troops. The Democrats held an indignation meet- ng to-night, and denounced the language of the memorial aa false. They have no objection to the presence of troops, but ob- ect to the memorial as a slander on the white people." The Excelsiors, of Chicago, played the City Base Ball Club, of Cleveland, the latter place, on the 19th, and de- "eated them by a score of 19 to 5. Col. Forsythe, with a force of fifty men, was attacked on the 17th by a large body of Indians, and forced to take refuge on a small island in the Republican, where were beseiged by a force reported at 700.

All the stock were killed. The news received from them on the 23d was the effect that Lieutenant Beecher had jeen killed, Dr. Moore mortally wounded and dying, and Col. Forsythe nearly as bad. All were lying there, with the Indians them, eating their horseflesh, and waiting patiently for relief, which probably reached them on the night of the 23d.

General Sheridan telegraphed from Tort Haynes on the 23d that he had just heard from Colonel Forsyth. Lieutenant Beecher was dead, and CoL Forsyth wounded, but the party was all right, al- hough surrounded by Indians, and could hold out, having plenty of ammunition and mule and horse flesh. They had given the Indians a salutry dose. Numerous Indian depredations have recently committed in the settlements between Denver and Colorado )ity. POLITICAL ITEMS.

To rejoice because a Radial Judge refused to disregard the law, hang a man in spite of it Is that it Why don't the Southern people )ehave themselves ask the Radicals they an't expect decent treatment so long as hey remain insubordinate and contuma-. ious. This, as Mr. Lincoln used to say, eminds tis of a little story in point.

1 Mother, mother," said a hopeful urchin his maternal parent, make Bill be- lave himself; whenever I hit him on the xead with the hammer, he hollers That joy was a good Radical. Once in a while, a party of rag- jarons are caught riding together in a "Palace" sleeping car. They vote, of course, for the Grant and bondholders' icket. The Radical papers immediately herald the fact as an indication of the jlection of Grant, seemingly forgetting fact that hundreds of thousands of laboring men are toiling to pay the taxes on which these rag-barons fatten, toiling so incessantly that they- have time to take railroad rides; that these labor- ng men have now got their eyes open to the situation; and that their votes will cast in opposition to the candidate of ihe bondholders who so cruelly oppress them. If has been no increase in the public debt, why do the monthly statements of Secretary McCulloch say so? The Jacobins, in their desire to explain the disgraceful fact that since the 1st of June the lebt has grown larger by some attempt to dispute the oflJcial statement.

Since that date, there have been 10,000,000 of Pacific Railroad bonds is- ued, and $7,200,000 paid for Alaska. Where has the remainder of the money gone So able and influential a Republi- i newspaper as the Springfield (Mass.) RepvMcttn admitted that Governor Seymour's terrible arraignment of tie party in power, just before hia nomination for i the Presidency, was a righteous one, and and repudiated in every conceivable form, that his statements were true, and that, It. was repudiated in theoryby the passage unless the party reformed, it ought io go down. Where are the evidences of reform They are in lying appropriation bills, which are to be followed by huge deficiency bills. Say the Jacobins, The expenditures have been greatly reduced." How, then, does the debt grow notwithstanding You have a revenue of more than The payment for Alaska and the Pacific Railroad bonds will not account for the When one of the great war demonstrations was contemplated in the Southwest, troops were gathered under General Rosecrans from nearly all the Northern States.

While waiting for the movement, tlie army became so afflicted with scurvy that a council of all the surgeons was held to devise some plan for speedier relief than could be obtained through the ordinary routine of the War Department. It was decided that a surgeon from each Northern State should apply to his Chief Executive for fresh vegetables and food for immediate need to stay the disease, which was becoming so fearful and disastrous. Answers were received from all the loyal Governors that the emergency was appreciated, and that their applications had been referred to the several Christian and Sanitary Commissions, except from Governor Seymour, who responded with 150 barrels of potatoes and fifty barrels of onions, raised on his farm and procured by his own private means. These were all the supplies that were received before the army moved. Our informant (one of the surgeons) says that this prompt and generous act proved to him that Seymour was a true soldiers' friend; and, that though he has heretofore been a Radical Republican, his vote will be given to him for Times.

--The Quincy (111.) Herald gives its Radical cotemporary a heavy dig in the ribs, as follows: The of, yester- day, in speaking of the demonstration of the Third Ward Greenback club--'Grayback as it is pleased to term them--flings 'fifty ragged boys' at us. We will not deny that a number of ragged boys were "ollowing the new club, and it made our leart feel glad to see the little fellows out. They manifested a degree of good sense that would be a credit even to the gentleman wrote the Grayback' article. Those little boys came by their rags through the influence of your party. Your damnable system of taxation is beggaring the whole country.

Those little 'ragged boys' know it, and they know also that the crowd they were with represented a party that is trying to lessen the burdens under which their fathers are daily groaning. It seems in bad taste to filch all that a man has, and then call him a beggar and twit his children as ragged If your party had its way, they would rob the poor boys even of their rags, to put them on the 'poor down-trodden Repudiation. One of the chief sections of the Republican platform adopted at Chicago is a bull against repudiation, fulminated in these words: We denounce all forms of repudiation ns a national crime; and the national honor the payment of the public indebtedness in the uttermost good faith to all creditors, home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of the laws xinder which it was contracted. Now we undertake to say, and shall find no difficulty in proving, that this resolution condemns the whole action of the Republican party in relation to tS6 payment of public debts up to this time. First, we will meet them on tlieir own ground, and, using their own boastful pretences as the foundation of our argument, will show that the Republicans are admitted and self-proclaimed repudiators, if the public debt is clue, as they contend that it is, in gold.

The chief point of the recent speech of Mr. Atkinson, indorsed by all the Republican papers, is, that since the close of the war the Government has paid off more than eight hundred millions of the public debt, or one-fourth of its whole amount in 1865, Just for the nonce, merely for argument's sake, let us admit this preposterous claim. One-fourth, then, of the whole public debt has been paid by the Republican party. But paid in what currency? Is there a Republican who will stand up and aay that that great amount, or any portion of it, haabetn paid jn gold In good truth, not a dollar of the debt has been paid in gold--not a dollar of the floating debt, nor a dollar of the funded debt. Now (still reasoning on-the absurd claim of Mr.

Atkinson and histin- dorsers) if one-fourth of the debt has been paid without using a dollar of gold for that purpose, why may not still more of it be paid in the same way What consistency is there in contending that the public debt is honestly payable in gold, and claiming credit in the same breath for having paid off eight hundred millions of it in greenbacks? For certain it is, that all which has been paid, thus far, -be it much 'or little, has been paid in lawful money. Reasoning on the false assumptions of adversaries is not, however, very satisfactory. Dismissing these we proceed to deal with unquestionable facts. The Republican party has had possession of nearly all the State Governments since the legal-tender act was passed. Those States had debts contracted previous to the passage of "that act; debts contracted on a gold basis; debts due for gold actually borrowed, and for the payment of which, principal and interest, the States had issued their bonds.

Now here were existing contracts respecting the letter and spirit" of which there could b.e possible question: The trioney-borrowed by the States previous to the war was real money, either gold or notes convertible into gold at the pleasure of the holder The understanding on both sides was that the faith of the States was pledged to pay those debts in a currency of the same value. With what face can a party which has repudiated nearly every one'of''those contracts put on of indignant virtue and denounce repudiation? It is the very party has had, control the Federal Government and' the State Governments; and having repudiated contracts about which there can be no question it only exposes itself to derision when it affects to be so very tender about other loans mfttie after the legal-tender'act was passed, am included in. its terms. In this State, Governor Seymour insisted on maintaining the feith of contracts inviolate; but he was overruled by the Republican Legislature. Again: at the extra session called in the summer of 1861, Congress passed an act authorizing a large issue of Treasury notes to run three years, bearing seven and three-tenths per cent, interest and receivable for duties on "imports.

A large amount of those notes was issued--one hundred and flftv millions in all. Be it observed that this loan preceded the passage of the legal-tender; act; in the contemplation of both borrower and lender, it was a gold contract. It could not have been otherwise, because no other money than coin was then recognized in the laws of the United States. Yet this contract was repudiated by the Republican party, of the legal-tender act, which made the greenbacks a medium for discharging all demands and claims against the United of every kind except interest. It was repudiated in practice by Secretary Fessenden, who refused to receive the notes of 1861 in payment of duties, although they were expressly made so by the terms of the law.

The contract was again repudiated in practice by actual payment in greenbacks at maturity, although the debt had been incurred in gold. When the debt was contracted, the Governmet received dollar for dollar; when it was paid, at the expiration of three years, the lender got back only forty cents in gold value for the hundred cents in gold value he had loaned to the Government. And a party which treated the public creditors in this shabby manner has the assurance to denounce as repudiation the payment of the public bonds in strict accordance with their York World. Address of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee. To the Democracy of Pennsylvania: The sturdy Democracy of Maine have covered themselves with glory.

In the very citadel of Radicalism they have demonstrated that you are upon the eve of a magnificent victory. The two parties were last arrayed at the polls upon national issues in 1866. Maine then polled a vote nearly equal to her vote of 1864, whilst Pennsylvania polled her largest vote. In 1866, Radicalism received iu Maine 69,637 votes. In 1868 it receives, as they themselves estimate, 75,002 votes.

This ie an increase of 8 per cent, upon the vote of 1866. In 1366, Democracy there received 41,947 votes, and in 1868 it received 55,725 votes. This is an increase of 30 per cent, upon the vote of 1866. In 1866, Radicalism received in Pennsylvania 307,274 votes, and Democracy received 290,096 votes. Apply the test of Maine to this vote, and Radicalism will receive in Pennsylvania an increase of 8 per cent, or 24,581 votes, making a total of 331,855 votes, and Democracy will receive an increase of 30 per cent, or 87,028 votes, making a total of 377,124 Democratic votes, showing that we will have a clear Democratic majority of of- 45,269 votes.

Whilst the totals shown by the estimate arc too large for the vote that we will cast in man who knows the condition of public sentiment in Pennsylvania will assert that the relative proportion will bo lessened Mahie voted for John O. Eremont, yet James Buchanan was elected President, antl Pennsylvania led the column of that made him Chief Executive of tlie nation. The hope of the Republic is in the Democracy of the Keystone. As in 18o6, the responsibility of determining the contest rests with you. Maine has proven that you can again bring triumph to the principles you love.

Let us arouse to new energy and more determined effort. By order of the Democratic State Committee. WM. A. WALLACE, Chairman.

--r a box of sandwiches, a pint bottle of liquor, an army blanket and the young man. The trunk was safely sent a distance of sixty-four miles. At Patterson, New Jersey, on a recent evening, a little girl who was, playing in the yard when last seen alive, was discovered hanging by the neck on a loop of rope which hung from a clothes-line post, and life was extinct. The rope was not around her but merely passed under her chin, and her back resting against the post, she was probably unable to relieve herself of the painiul position. A broad-shouldered German girl met an exquisite on a street-crossing in Cincinnati, where one or the other must turn out into the mud.

The exquisite didn't care to dirty his boots, and in an insulting manner ordered the girl aside. Her reply was a blow from the shoulder which sent the swell clean off his feet into the mud, when she calmly stepped over his prostrate form dry-shod, There was a peculiar accident on a railroad crossing Muldraugh's Hill, about thirty -five miles south of Louisville, the other day. A heavy fregiht train was ascending a steep grade, when two cars broke off and ran to the foot of the grade where the brakeman brought them to a halt. Just then he was astonished to see another section of the train running back toward him with terrific speed. It struck the two cars and destroyed them and their contents iii a twinkling.

It seems that just before the train crossed the summit, and a minul or so after the two rear cars were detached, the second section broke loose, and as no one was on it to apply the brakes, it descended with tremendous force. A locomotive used in a switching trains at the Erie street depot, in Buffalo, exploded her boiler on the 18th, inflicting serious wounds on the engineer, and various persons in the vicinity, fortunately killing no one. Pieces of iron were thrown through some frame buildings near by, and the debris was scattered in every direction some of the bystanders were thrown into the canal by the force of the explosion, but were rescued. There was a very perilous adventure on Lake George, recently. Ten young gentlemen and as many ladies made a rowboat excursion by moonlight, with a single pair of oars a heavy gale came up unexpectedly, nearly swamping the frail boat, which was prevented only by constantly bailing it out with their hats.

They succeeded in landing on a small island, where the party remained without shelter all night. The anxiety of their friends was relieved next morning by their safe arrival, after having given them up as A singular accident occurred on the Boston Albany Railroad, about thirty miles, east of Albany. The, westward- bound train at a crossing-ran into a buggy containing, Mr. and Mrs. Beebe, aged people.

The horse had crossed track and the hind part of the buggy was struck by the engine. The buggy box was thrown up and caught on the platform in front of the old people remaining in it and being- flius" 'carried "two-thirds" of a mile before the train was stopped. The old lady was jiearly dead. The old gentleman was not so badly hurt. CLIPPINGS AND DRIPPINGS.

On a small islet in the Rhine was constructed in wood-work a grand portico, semi circular, supposed to represent Olympus, and artistically ornamented with the statues of all the divinities. The tallest men of the regiment of infantry were selected to personate these gods and goddesses.

They were clothed in white drapery, strongly starched, so as to imitate the rigid appearance of marble; then each, having his face covered with white paint, was raised upon his pedestal; on the right of all was posted a colossal sub-commissioned officer, charged with the preservation of order. He cried out, Steady!" to the divinities, whenever the royal steamer came in view. Strict prohibition was pronounced against liquors being served to the statues during the fete. --The Precurseur iVAnvers relates the following strange occurrence. "A modern Achilles has been found at Liege.

A merchant of that city had engaged a servant girl who was distinguished, by two peculiarities, her magnificent hair and rather masculine bearing and manners. She performed her duties with the utmost punctuality and industry, and her master and mistress were well satisfied with her services. A few days ago, however, three gensdnrmes arrived at the house and stated that they had come to arrest the servant girl, who had failed to conform to the military laws. The astonishment of the merchant and his wife was, of course, very great, but it became even greater when they hastened up to the girl's chamber and found her occupied in putting a fine wig on her head. She had doffed her skirts and they saw now that she was a strapping young fellow, who had tried in this manner to avoid serving hia three years in the army.

The genadwynea took him to jail without permitting him to dofl euch articles of female apparel as he still wore. At least two thousand persons assembled in. the street when the modern Achilles, flanked by the gensdcvrmes, made his appearance."
