BAYLESS W. HANNA. of Vigo County.

The question whether Europe is on the «!V0 of another war over the Spanish ?••. ornwn, as a result of the dubious relations existing for Home time between France and

Prussia, is one of great interest on this side of the Atlantic, hcc««- influence commcrco and finnnce of this country.

The territorial expansion and political exaltation of Prussia, the daring enterprise and success of Hisinarek's diplomacy and Prussia's arms, have left many a sore spot in Europe and excited 110 little jealousy and alarm in France. A feeling that their military glory is challenged and that their European supremacy is menaced, if not already wrested front them by the wonderful combinations and triumphs of Prussia's great minister, is enough to set ablaze the warlike ardor of the French, (hi the other hand Prussia seems to feel instinctively that her recent aggrandizement has made France her foe, and that something must lie done to secure her acquisitions. After procuring the election of one kinsman of his king as Prince of Roumania in the East, Bismarck has secretly intrigued for the election of a Prussian prince, Leopold of Hohenzollern, to the throne of Spain, expecting doubtless to overreach the French Emperor by conferring a crown upon one who is a kinsman of the latter and a Catholic, but still a Prussian.

Eugenie Hortense, granddaughter of the King of Bavaria, daughter of Eugene Bcauharnais and niece and namesake of Louis Xapoleou's mother, was |martied to the Prince of Hohenzollern who ruled over the Rhenish provinces of Hechingen and Sigmaringen. This Hohenzollern family is a Catholic branch of that to which King William of Prussia belongs. Its titles and prerogatives were transferred to the Prus

sian throne in 1S49, but Prince Charles Anthony, the father of Leopold, since he abdicated in favor of his royal relative, has held, and still holds, important posts under the Prussian government. Charles Eitel. a brother of Leopold, was elected Prince of Roumania in I860 through the diplomacy of

Bi^jnnrck. Leopold, who is the heir presumptive of all the honors and dignities of the Hohenzollern branch of the royal family, was born in 1835, was married to a sister of the King of Portugal in 1S0I, and is now the father of three sons. Besides the Beauharaais blood in his veins, ho is the grandson of the Princess Marie Antoinette Murat and a descendant of Marshal M11r.1t, the husband of Caroline Bonaparte.

The theory that a good Catholic thus related to the reigning monarchs on cither side of Spain would be acceptable to the Spanish people, and could not be objected lo by a Bonaparte was very plausible. But" the right of France to choose her own monarch is, to Napoleon ideas, a very different tiling Trom the right of Spain to do likewise and no lie of blood or affection has ever been permitted to interfere with the dynastic interests of the Bonaparte family ag_hqund up in the government and the glory oft France.

France nntl Prussia.

The geographical position of Spain, in the renr of France, has for hundreds of years rendered the scepter wielded at Madrid a weapon of the first importance in every European contest. When Charles II, the last of the Spanish liapsburgs, died in 1700, the effort, to place Philip of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV, upon the throne of Spain, in accordance with the will of Charles, involved France for thirteen yenrs in the blood}' '-War of the Spanish Succession/' in which England, Holland, and Germany opposed Philip in behalf of a Prince of the Austrian family. Anything like a union of the military prowess of ilie Latin races is decisive of every European contest, and hence the desperate and costly effort of Napoleon 1 to fix his brother Jr.seph on the Spanish throne.

SKVKNTII DISTINCT DEMOCRATIC COXGRKSSIOX.U CONVENTION.

honor you have

conferied on me is quite unexpected. In but a word I shall return to you my thanks for the honor you have bestowed. I suppose it is hardly necessary to more than formally announce the object of our meeting to-day, which is for the purpose of putting in- the field a Democratic candidate for Congress in the Seventh Congressional District.

I know that each delegate here has but one object to accomplish—but one desire of his heart, and that is that the man most available aud fit for the place will be the man who will receive your uuanimous support to-day. I am aware that there are.a number of candidates aud a number of conflicting interests. I is natural to suppose that this would be so. Vet I am convinced that there is but one seutiment that prevails in every breast, and that is to place the most available caudidate before the people. The one object is for success—not merely for the sake of success, but that by that success we may inaugurate a principle —by that success we may bring to bear the principles that lie "at the very foundation of our party. Having in view that object, having but one thing to look to, however vigilant the friends of the different candidates may be, when it is definitely determined who the man will be. I have no doubt all will give up their indivicKfiirvpreferences and go to work for the c6mmon good. We have but

one common

cause, but one object to^ttain, and I know no private interest will preyfent your attaining that objecWa the"most feasible way in which it can be done. I am sure that there will be nothing but harmony "here. Dissension will not enter into our ranks, and this day will inaugurate a new era in our Congressional District. The convention is now ready to proceed to business.

Resolved, That as white inert, we are in favor of wnite men ruling America. [Cheers.] •1.

That the people of the Seventh Congressional District have paid quite too dearly for being mis represented in Congress for the past ten years to now disregard the importance of the campaign before them and that the Democracy will use every honorable exertion in their power for a thorough and radical change of men and measures.

A delegate desired to offer a resolution, that in the event of the Democratic party coming into power, we will consider the Republican party exonorated from paying any portion of the rebel debt. [Applause.]

The Chairman said that this resolve would be adopted by consent. [Laughter,]

GENERAL MANSON's ACCEPTANCE.

Gentlemen of the Convention: I regret that I have not tVe time nor the capacity to return you my hearty, my most sincere thanks for the distinguished honor you have conferred' upon me this day. When I consider that I have not been a candidate before you, and that you have given me the nomination over so many distinguished—so many true Democrats, I feel that I am not capable of expressing to you my thanks on this occasion. As has been said to you already, I have received a dispatch that requires me to leave at once for the

EX-SENATOR HENDRICKS"." Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, agreea

bly to an invitation extended by the convention at the morning session, was introduced to the audience by President MeClurg, ami-received with hearty demonstrations of app'.ause. Mr. TT. said he was here with no expectation of making a speech, and was not at all prepared to deliver such an address as ought to be made to the gentlemen composing the convention. He then proceeded to refer, in terms of the highest praise to General Manson, and promised to £ive, iu a few moments of time, some of the reasons why the nominee of this convention should be elected reasons which ought to influence the voters of the Seventh Congressional Distriet. He declared that any man or any party that makes a pledge to the people of this country, and carries an election upon that pledge or promise, if that man or that party shall prove false to such pledge so made, such action ought to siuk that man or that party to political condemnation or death. By that too''! ought the Republican party, as it is now organized and controlled, to retain power?

But one question would be alluded to now, passing by many—he might say hundreds of instances of deseption practiced upon ehe people by the party in power. This one is of great importance, because it tocches consti tutional liberty. At the last Presidential Election we were told, in the most solemn manner in which it could be announced, that the right of the negro to vote iu the States North should still be left to the States for their decission. That pledge was given in the Republican National Convention. Congressional districts, Legislatures and the election of a President was carried upon that pledge. After the election, the Constitution of the United States was to be amended —to be changed. From the days of the fathers down to that time it had been a right expressly reserved in the Constitution that the people of each State should control the question of suffrage. But as soon as this party carried the election of 18GS they proceeded to establish a different policy of action. The Constitution of the United States was changed so as to bring in a large vote, hoping thereby to control the political destiny of th# nation against tho judgement of the people who had heretofore exercised this power. So the fifteenth amendment was thrown upon the people, und it was denied to the people the right of expressing their wish upon the eubject, and it was carried by a fraud here in the State of Indiana that ought to disgrace any party. It was carried against some States—Virginia and Texas for example—by such coerdion as would set aside an ordinary contract between man and man. And so they announce the fifteenth amendment adopted.

FOREIGN.

Last, evening the Duke of Grammont, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced to the Senate and Corps Legisiatif that the French Ambassador to Spain had officially made known the enunciation of Prince Hohenzollern of the Spanish crown. Negotiations which we have been pursuing with Prussia, the Duke said have 110 other object, but they have not yet terminated, so it is impossible to-day to furnish the Chamber and country with the a general expose of affairs.

The Senate received this statement coldly. The Duke then asked the Senate to postpone ihe discussion on interpellation until .-Saturday next, because Friday had been set apart for the Corps Legisiatif. The Senate immediately protested, but on the request of Roupcr the proposition was assented to. The Senate will meet an hour earlier than usual that da}' in order to have more time for discussion.

The Press thinks the settlement of the question precarious aud dangerous, simply enabling Prussia to .choose a better opportunity.

La Liberie demauds a General Congress or war. The .lurnal des Debats says the Prussian reply to France is insufficient.

The Constitutional denies the reported disagreements among the Ministers, and state that no minister has tendered his resignation.

The Brouse opened declining. Rentes ri!)f 10c The Journal gives the. details of mi lit ery preparations, which are still continued.

The journals say the French Cabinet having received as first concession the personal renunciation of the Spanisli crown by Prince Hohenzollern, agreed to continue negotiations to obtain from the King of Prussia his official renunciation, now and forever, of all pretensions to the throne of Spain on the part, of any member of the Hohenzollern family.

PARIS, July 14.—It appears that the King of Prussia has refused to receive Count Bendetti, or to sign the promise required of him by the French Government.

The Emperor left St. Cloud this morning by special train, and arrived at the Tuilleries at noon.

The Ministers having been summoned, were all at the Palace, and a council was held immediately.

At half pa3t three the President of the Senate and Corps Legisiatif, then in session, were informed that the Government would have a communication to make to those bodies before^he close of the sitting.

Baron Bourgoync, Secretary to the French Ambassador, also returns to Yennia. .Rumors «f the resignation of the Ministry are continued, though generally discredited.
