New York, January 8.?The steam tug Speedwell, reported missing, had on board thirty persons, and was en? gaged in some Government work con? nected with torpedo manufacturing. As she has not arrived at Newport, where she was bound, it is feared she has been lost, with all hands. The Herald has a double-leaded edi? torial, calling attention to the call for a meeting here Monduy morning, and tbe influential names attached thereto. It says tho President cannot affect to ignore or undervalue suoh a demon? stration, supported by such eminent names. The President is bound to pay some regard to tbe publio opinion of the country. He ought to be confident that he is not right when the best sen? timent of the best classes ooudemne him. It is at least his duty to pause and reflect, and to re-examine tbe grounds of his unprecedented action. The President will soon see that he is not supported by the sentiment of the country, and that his unparalleled course arouses the apprehensions of the people as no other publio event has done sines the firing on Fort Sum tor. This respectable and influential call ought to e?n?iscc the President that there is a limit beydnd which no publio officer in this nfeftiblioan Go? vernment can go witb-lmgdnity. Tho Hew York/Runs! says: "We learn from our oocre?pcn?ent ot Wash* ington that the President will ooud In' 8 message to Congress to day or to? morrow on tbe Louisiana difficulty, and that it will be nnasaully pointed. We hope tbat it will not be pointed with bayonets, like General Sheridan's despatch, which seems to have pro? duced kd outburst of indignation from oue end of the country to tbe other* Some of the people in Washiogtou most be curiously inoompetent to gauge public feeliug, or they would never have allowed that mad despatch to have seen light. It is much to be desired that some members of the Go? vernment would take pains to acquaint themselves with the tone und temper of the country. If the Cabinet bad beeu prudent, it would have put Gen. Sheridan's ferocious message on or under the table, or into the fire, and said nothing about it. Instead of that, Geu. Belknap telegraphed back to Sheridan, and said thut 'tbe President and all of as thoroughly approve your course,' which was one of the most un? necessary and foolish blunders ever oommitted by the present Govern? ment. We hope that tbe President's forthcoming uiessuge will be a little more creditable to bimself, bia Cabi? net, his party aud to tbe people of the United States, who, if they also tho? roughly approve of Sheridan's course, would stand disgraced before the civil? ized world." Washington, January 8.?The New York express hence, at 9 P. M., yes? terday, oollided with a freight train. The switch-tender is blamed. Tbe mail and express cars, with Mail Agent Fayman, were burned. No passen? gers seriously hurt. Tbe entire North em mail from Washington, inoluding the accumulated day's mail from the South, excepting one pouoh and can? vas for Baltimore, was destroyed by tbe burning of the postal oar. It is believed tbat tbe mull ageut, Mr. Fay man, was crushed to death before the oars took tire. He was about thirty years of age, and a eon of the local post ofiioe agent in this oity. In the House, a certificate that con? finement in tbe common jail would seriously affect Irwin'a health, was re? ferred to Committee ou Ways and Means. The motion that, pending investigation by the committee, Irwin remain iu custody of the Sergeant-at | Arms, was lost by a vote of 36 to 19. Butler introduced a bill for an election in Louisiana, which was referred to the Judiciary Committee. It provides that an election be held ou the fourth Tuesday in May next, for Goveruer, Lienteuant-Governor, Secretary of Stute, Attorney-General, Auditor of I Public Aocounts, Superintendent of Flections and members of the Legislature; tbat the President shall immediately appoint three suitable persons to superintend such eleotiou; that they shall immedi? ately appoint two competent and suit? able citizens, of opposite political par? ties, as State Registrars, who shall oanse a new and complete registration to be made of all the legally qualified voters of the State; that the State Registrars aud Superintendents shall in like manner appoint two Super? visors of Registration in euch parish, und tbat the Superintendents shall in like manner appoint two Commission? ers of Election for each election pre? cinct. Within teu days after the day of election, the Stute Registrars are to opea tbe returns in tbe presence of the Superintendents, and to eX nmiue, canvass uud compile tbe same; and tbo Superintendent* uro thereupon to make public proclamation of tbe result of the elec? tion in two newspapers of general cir? culation, and of opposite politics. The Legislature thus eleoted is to meet aud organize on the second Monday after the promulgation of the result of the election, and on tbe first Monday after such promulgation the Governor, Lientouaut-Governor und other State officers shall enter ou tho disohurge of their respective ofii.-es, and the Go? vernment established is to be recog? nized by tbe United States Govern? ment as tbo legal Government tf Louisiana. The United States Circuit Court of Louisiana is to have exclusive jurisdiction of ull crimes aud offences I made punishable by tbe Act. It au? thorize the President to employ the army and navy to maintain the public peace, to sustain tho officers uuder the Aot and to enforce tbe provisions of the Act, and any act of an officer of tbe State of Louisiana or of a State Court interfering with the execution of the Act is to be treated as absolutely void. Col. L. B. Holobuoid, who was the Chief Quartermaster at New Orleans during the late war, tins been under examination by tbe Southern Claims Commission for the past four or five days, in relation to tbe many claims filed by persons in thut section of tbe con u try. Iu tbe Senate, tbe naval appropria? tion bill passed. Louisiana was re? sumed. Buyard und West spoke. The resolution was passed calling for papers and instructions regarding Lou? isiana. The ameadment leaving it discretionary with tho President to furnish information, and another, by Morton, asking for information about the organization and objects of the White League, pdsaed. Probabilities?During Saturday, iD the South Atlantio States, partly cloudy weather, possibly occasional rain, and winds gradually veering to West aud North are probable, followed by rising barometer aud falling tem? perature.

Miss Mary Maxwell, daughter of the late Captain John Maxwell, who re? sided near Pendletou. died of con? sumption on Monduy, the 21st ultimo, after a lingering illness of many mouths.

Heory Hancock, E-q., au old and prominent citizen of Lancaster, died at his residence, a few miles from the village, on tbe 24th nit.; aged eighty four years. Tho New York Herald declares that "every man killed in New Orleans will represent an addition of 100,000 votes in favor of the next Demooratio candi? date for the Presideuoy." The Spanish Drama.?The sodden transformation of Spain from a so called republic into a monarchy, by the calling of Prince Alfonso to the throne, renders tho following histori? cal summary most interesting. We quote from tbe Chicago Tribune: The Austrian family which ascended tbe throne iu the person of Charles I, (Emperor Charles V.) in 151(3, ended in tbo person of Charles II, who died withot issue iu 1700. By bis will, he bequeathed the crowu to Louts XIV of France, who bod married the sister of tho Spanish King. The crown was t also claimed by Leopold I of Austria, I who had married another bister. A war ensued, in which nearly all Europe took part for thirteen years. By tbe peaco of Utrecht, in 1713, Philip, the grand-son of Louis XIV, was confirm? ed us King of Spain, by yielding Na? ples, Sardinia, Belgium, and other States to Austria, and Gibraltar to Euglund. Iu 1808, his grand-son, Charles IV, was compelled by Napo? leon to Abdicate, and Prince Ferdinand was also compelled to renounce all claim to tbe succession. In 1814, after Joseph Bonaparte was driven out of Spain by the British troops, Ferdi? nand VII was proclaimed King, to tho exclusion of his father. Ferdinand bad two brothers?Charles, or Don Carlos, and Fruncis De Paula. By the law of Spain, females were ex? cluded from the succession. Ferdi? nand hud buried three wives, and, baviug no children. Don Carlos wus the heir-presumptive. Iu 1729, he married Maria Christina of Naples, by whom, in quick succession, be had two daughters?Isabella, born in 1830, aud Maria Louisa, born in 1832. Fer? dinand died iu September, 1833, hav? ing some time previously issued a de? cree abolishing tbe law excluding fe? males, thus cutting Don Carlos off from the succession. Ferdinand had been a most unmitigated despot, as his father hud been before him, and Don Carlos was expected to be worse. Tbe whole cation, therefore, sustained Isabella, then three years old, who was proclaimed Q ueen under tbe regency I of her mother. Don Carlos at once begun a war, which lasted six years, ' and wus remarkable for its cruelty aud atrocity. In 1843, the Queen being thirteen years old, was declared by tbe Cortes to be of full age. Ao intrigue then began in Europe for tbo marriage of the Queen. Louis Phillippe, of France, who had several uumarried sous, aud who exercised a sort of gusr diauship over the Spanish family, was forced to tnsEe a pledge that be would not marry either of his sons to Isa? bella. Iu 1846 he was successful in accomplishing tbe marriage of the Queen to her cousiu, Francis d'Assisi, sou of Fraucis de Paula, thus uniting tbe older and younger lines of tbe family to tbe exclusion of tbe line of Don Carlos. The other daughter, Maria Louis*, was married at the same time to Anthony, Duke of Montpea sier, son of Louis Phillippe. It was supposed, then, that the French King bad practiced uu intentional fraud. Tbe husband of the Queen was under? stood to be but little bettor than an imbecile, in which case tbe Sptinish crown would be likely to fall to tbo de? scendants of tbe French Prince. Isa? bella, however, had u uumber of chil? dren, of whom ?vo survive. The second of these is Alfonso, wbo wus born iu 1857, and is consequently now between seventeen and eighteen years of age. Her sister, the Duchess of Moutpensier, has ten children, includ? ing several sous. Alter Ins unsuccessful war, Don Carlo:*, who bud been living in Frauce, removed to Trieats, iu Austria, where he died iu 1855. Previous to this, however, he had renounced tho throne in favor of ins son, Couut Moutmolin. In ISO?), the Couut was proclaimed King by Gen. Ortega, but there was no popular response. In tbe pumo year .Moutmolin und his brothers, John und Ferdinand, were arrested; they renounced all claim to the throuo and were released, and subsequently repudiated tho renunciation. Mont mnliu uud Ferdinand died in 1861. In 1863, John renounced in favor of his sou Charles, who was born in March, 184S, uud who is the present claimant to tbe throne us Don Carlos. In Jau? uary, 1808, n military insurrection took place iu Spain under Gen. Prim. This insurrection increased during the year, and on tho 20 ill of September, 1K6S, Q teen Isabella 1 ft Spain for Frauce, whero she bas continued to reside ever since. A monarchical con? stitution was adopted, and the Cortes sought diligently for a King. Iu July, 187U. the Regency offered tbo crown to Prince Leopold of Hoben zollern. This offer wus used as a pre j text for the controversy between ' Frauce und Prussia which ended iu ! the war that dethroned Nopoleou III I and founded the German Empire. Iu j November, 1870, tho crowu was offered j to Amadeus, second son of Victor Emunuel, of Italy, wbo accepted it, was crowned King iu January, 1871. Eirly in 1873 he abdicated aud left ; Spam, aud the country has sinoe been I ruled as a sort of a republio. ; On the 24th of Jane, 1870, Isabella formally renounced the throne iu favor of her sou, Alpbonsu. Io 1871 Don ; Curios eutered Spain, and has sinoe i then been engaged iu prosecuting a war to recover the throne. The Spa? nish Republio bas never hud any sub? stance. The Spanish poople have no knowledge of republicanism, and tbe i .Spanish nobility and politicians abhor j it. The Government h? b*?? oiII?d ? I republic for the waut of a monarch.
