Say what we may, and think what we may, the Spanish revolutionary movement is leas a success to-day than it was or seemed to be six mouths ago. It wan our opinion at one time that Serrano and Prim, who had the cards in their own hands, were playing skilfully and with some success. We watched the progress of the revolution. We saw and admitted tho power of the government. In spite of the general ability of the party culling itself republican, and in spite of the silvery tongue, the passion, force and glowing eloquence of Castellar, the government during the whole time the Cortes had the new constitution under discussion had it all its own way. Point after point was carried by overwhelming majorities. When the new constitution was carried It did seem that the party in power had but to command to be obeyed. The strength of Prim, Serrano and the others was made all the more conspicuous when, with but trifling dissent, Serrano was proclaimed Regent of the Kingdom. It still seemed as if the government party were on the highway to ultimate triumph. Looking back, however, as we now do, over only a very few months, it does seem as if sucoess ended and failure began at the very moment Serrano was proclaimed Regent of the Kingdom. Prior to that date the revolution had an upward tendency. Since that date the tendency has been unmistakably downward. To-day it is the universal feeling, both in Europe and America, tltat thin latest Spanish revolution is to prove as much a failure as any of its many predecessors. Is this feeling justified by facta? We might answer this question at once by saying that a feeling which is so general, and which in almost every individual case amounts to a conviction, must be a satisfactory reflection of the truth. We would not, however, shun the difficulty by any such device. A general judgment may be wrong. We must, therefore, look more closely at facts. What, then, has the revolution effected ? It has dethroned Isabella and proscribed the Bourbons. It has nominally, al i least, secured for Spain a liberal constitution. It has proclaimed the nation a monarchy. I has placed the supreme power for the tirm being in the hands of one of th< revolutionary chiefs. But as every daj proves, it has not satisfied the Spanish people. It has not Improved Spanish dflancs, whicl r are as bad as they well can be. It has nol 1 satisfied the outside world that the struggle if at an end. It has, in fact, done nothing, 01 t rather it has done what had better been lei undone, because it has not crowned the nev a popular edifice by a constitutional monarch i u? uunuiuve ltuiurc ui uju revoiuuon ih man' n manifest to nil the world by tho general aw t irrepressible Carllst feeling, of the strong! 1 e ol which every day's news gives us f"real evidence. It id made manifest by (lie undis guised hopes of the Isabellinos. It is madi r- manifest by the openly expressed disgust o D some of Spain's best patriots?men who can g leas about particular forms of govern ment thnn about t e liberty whicl b a government guarantees, the sreuritj and confidence which it inspires. It i ' made mmifest by the pi'r iatent silence o! Na j poleon, a silence which is more suggestive am s more ominous than many words. It Is mad manliest above all by the cruel and barbarou 0 manner In which political offenders are beini ' treated. Fpwnish cruelty, proverbial for man 10 centuries, has never been more conspicuous! ORK HERALD, SUJNDAY, revealed than to the recent executions of the Carlists. With an emptj exchequer and a crushing debt, with a people generally disaffected, with an empty throne still begging an occupant, with more than one strong party claiming that throne in the name of heaven and justice and at the peril of life and property for their respective chiefs, and with all the horror* of cruel war ataring them in the face, wlio can say that Spain ia what she ought to be, or thut thi* revolution has been a success ? The failures of 1812, of 18'JO, of 18:>6, wero neittier of them so conspicuous or so complete as this of l8(?8-fii>. What is the cause of this failure? This question, confessedly, is beset with some difficulty. The cause is perhaps manifold. In our judgment, however, the failure of this and of all previous Spanish revolutions is to be traced to one source. The Church is now, as it has been for many generations, the curse of Spain. ' Many causes have conspired to make the Span' ish Church one of the most powerful national organizations in Europe. Biassed by its early history, it acquired force during the long struggle which Spain maintained with the Moors. When the Moors were expelled it reaped a large amount of the honor and glory. It was pampered and spoiled during that long period when Spain ruled half the globe, and with a cruel selfishness sucked up the wealth of the Indies. It acquired its special character?a character which makes it the ally of absolutism, legitimacy, Divine right and much besides, which the spirit of modern freedom detests and abhors?during those dark days of the Inquisition, a period when it was the privilege and pride of Spanish monks in the Old World and the New to burn Christian men and women. What the Spanish Church then and by these means became, the Spanish Church has ever continued to be ana now is?a tyrannous, cruei, non-progressive hating and hateful thing, the ally of tyrants, the enemy of knowledge and liberty. In Spain, as we have said, the Church is a power?a power all the more dangerous, because of its peculiar affinities and tendencies. From the commencement of this latest revolution fear of the Church has tied the hands and fettered the movements of the revolutionary leaders. One or two bold steps were taken, but it was always found convenient by Prim, Serrano, Topete and the rest not to push matters so far as to drive the Church into open rebellion. The object was to make the Church an ally. The ally was no doubt useful, but events are proving that the ally is so strong that shp is likely to become mistress of the situation. It has been the great fault of the revolution that it did not dethrone the Church when it dethroned Isabella, by despoiling it of it* enormous property. Either the revolutionary leaders were strong enough to deatroy the Church or they were not. It they were, they ought to have done it; for not having done so they have spared a foe in the guise of an ally which is defeating all their schemes and writing failure on all their efforts. If they were not strong enough, thou we must regard the revolution as the work of onlv a section of the people, and look forward to ft better time, when intelligence more generally diffused will enable the Spanish people to see the true cause of all their misery. Not until the Church is struck down and made helpless can we expect to see Spain taking her place among the nations. Spanish revolutionists ought to hare learned more from the experience of Mexico and from recent doings in Italy. As the struggle is not yet onded we must not despair. Whether the Church is still to be mistress of Spain is a question of mora vital importance than who is to b? king. The Water Famine in Philadelphia. "Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink," is not exactly true of the condition oi Philadelphia just now; for although the beautiful Schuylkill and heretofore plenteous Delaware flow by the doora of the Quaker City it seems that their beds have run nearly dry, and the inhabitants are in danger of suffering in consequence. Many of the factories have been compelled to cease work, and thousands ol operatives may thus be thrown out of employment. The attempt to obtain water by opening up old wells does not seem to be a success. As yet private houses have not been deprived of the luxurious necessity of fresh water, but they may be If the drought continues and il the closest economy is not practised to the uat of water supplied from Fairmount and the Delaware and Spring Garden works One thousand five hundred millions of gallons of watei were pumped from the rivers for the use o Philadelphia last month. Although we may be better off here in th< supply of water than our neighbors in Philadelphia, a little wholesome economy in the tis< of our Croton and Ridge wood supplies maj not be out of place in this dry, hot season Above all things waste of water should b< avoided.

The National Labor Congresa, which has been in session during the past week in Philadelphia, adopted a series of resolutions as their future platform. We shall briefly recapitulate some of them, as they may at no distant day form the nucleus of a new political party. The first resolution condemns the present national banking system as one inaugurated in a time of war and now perpetuated for the interest of bondholders and bankers, and in connection with this subject the high fiita nf intaraut la ra/1 in Kit an tuiiirtr f.A .U.V vr. 'UVV.TO. .o VVF ?" "V"-/ commerce. A uniform money legal tender, payable on all debts, public and private, in strongly recommended, while the payment of gold to bondholders who themselves paid the principal in greenbacks is as strongly' denounced. Laud monopolies are described as necessarily subversive of freedom. The universal adoption of the eight hour movement, as adopted in government works, ia an important feature in the programme. The concession that women are entitled to the same pa? as meu for work equally well done, a demand for a department of labor, looking after the interests of working men and forming a permanent office io our executive admin* istration, and the right of all men, Irrespective of color, to equal civil rights and privileges, make up the remaining resolutions that seem deserving ot special notice. An amendment was suggested that nothing said on the greenback question should be understood as favoring repudiation; but it was answered that they wanted no buncombe or claptrap inserted to propitiate capitalists, and therefore the amendment waa rejected. In this National Labor Congress we have the elements of what might become a powerAil political party, neither republican nor democratic, but having some points in common with both. In their conceding equal rights to all irrespective of color, and in their well known advocacy of protection we find them on the same political platform as Mr. Greeley, while their resolutions on banking and the payment of bonds in greenbacks are such as will be approved of throughout the country by an overwhelming majority of democrats. We expect that on both sides there will be plenty of trimming and hedging on the part of knowing office-seekers to catch the votes of these sturdy working men, who, with All their abhor ~r I noilj nnl rCUUQ VI UUUlyllUIUO ?uu ??vv. uv* hope to escape the usual infli ction. But how or to what extent this new platform of theirs may change the relations of our two great political parties it is as yet too soon to autioipite. - Helmoat t?mm Tweed. The William M. Tweed Democratic Association of the Seventh ward of this city, in council on Friday evening last, resolved unanimously:? Wrf-1That the democracy to get en tu the world must have a uew chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee. Sevoruili/?That Mr. August Belmont, the present chairman, Is meHU'lent, uudevoted and unpopular. Thirdly?That his dearth of capacity, luck of purpose, Indifference as to results, and want of acceptability were the chief cause of ueueral McClellau'a defeat.

" Nowspap#v" Pnm te '*% Of all the ohlngM tlifc$ bare taken place in France in the way of refofffl the rel.ixatiou of the Press law of 1852, with odious" system of communique*, warnings, previous authorization, stamp tax and caution money, is ,,ne of the most important. Press prosecution'** are no longer of frequent occurrence as formerly ; and although the press is not yet free in the sense in which we understand it, still when wc find M. Rochefort, of Lanterne notoriety, contributing in his own vein and without molestation to a journal decidedly revolutionary in its principles we can underHtaud the difference between the present and past condition of French journalism. Of the twonty-six journals published in Paris Bix are in favor of the imperial policy and dynasty, feur support the dynasty, but find fault occasionally with the measures of the administration, and four others are independent, being understood to support no particular dynasty or line of polloy. Tbe remaining twelve are opposition journals in the widest sense of the term, four being Bourbonist, three Orleanist, three republican and two revolutionary. One of these last is the Rappd, contributod to by M. Rochefort. If it be true, as the Parisians are fond of boasting, that "Paris is France," the politics and circulation of the journals published there may give us some data for speculation as to French politioal sentiment, its depth and tendency. We And that In point of circulation the opposition and independent journals greatly exceed the ministerialist ; a result that might be expected in Paris where opposition candidates for the Corps Legislatif are invariably successful. There is, however, one ministerialist journal in Paris, the Peupte, which has attained the third largest circulation in the city. It is a journal conducted with marked, though not exceptional, ability, and owes its large clrcuI-4'? a hihaIi frt fka fanf 1 ha lnw ttllflVU, JiCI U?J^O, no U1UVU vv DUV ?wv? w. .? .. price?being sold at one cent?aa to the talent diaplayed in its columns. So far, indeed, as literary ability goes, French journalism has of late made a remarkable improvement, being, now often characterized bj that cauBtic wit and keen irony that Voltaire seems to have left as a perpetual heirloom to the French nation. The number and ability of the opposition journals show us In a very strong light the difficulties that beset the Emperor's administration. There is no doubt It requires the most skilful statesmanship to maintain the throne itself against the opposition that assails it from every side. One thing, howover, is certain, that no gagging of the press will ever support an unpopular administration. The true policy is that which the Emperor, yielding to the pressure of the people's representatives, is about to inaugurate for France? a free press and a responsible ministry. Jefferson's dictum, that "error ceases to be dangerous when reason is free to combat it," is the maxim to which emperors and kings must hereafter submit in all that ooncerns the free expression of political opinion. i The Proposed Expo?lilM of Christian Art u Rome. We are Informed by telegram that Pius IX. has decided to hold a universal exhibition ol Christian art next year at Romo, prior to 1 the return of the various prelates to theii homes, after the Ecumenical Council. No intimation whatever has yet been given ae to the nature of this exhibition. We arc not told whether it is to be one showing the ' progress of Christian art on a grander scale than the collection which our old friend Bryan j. brought over to this country some years ago, comprising, with many absurd daubs, several | characteristic works of a certain historical value?a progress from the naive symbolism ol early Christianity. Through its developmenl in the mediaeval ages, and its gradual admix J ture with reminiscences of Pagan art, where, after the Renaissance, Apostles and Sainti were represented like the deities of Olympus down to these modern times, when, influenced more by the scepticism and rationalism of th( day than by the pure faith and unquestioning obedience of early times, art has becomi secularized, "surrendering the severity and | symmetric simplicity" of former age, and after three centuries of a steady decline, seemi ' to verge on extinction. Even Flandrin, at well as the English Herbert and the Germar ' Kautbach, makes a compromise between th< religious art of Italy h the fifteenth and aix tcenth centuries and the secular or quasi-olassi cal art of France, England and Germany ir 9 this age, in obedience to its rationalistic spirit, - from which an eminent oritio declaros that n< i one can escape by any process short of inenta 0 suicide. Nor are we told whether it is to be f - collection to which all the sovereigns of Europe 1 will be invited to contribute the best religioui t paintings in their privato or national galleries d or whether artists throughout the world are ti e bo invited, at such short notico, to attempt th< e almost impossible task of reviving Christiai r art. J At ali events it is a noteworthy fact tha - the head of the Church of Rome is so fa ,t afflicted by the modern influencas which havi n resulted at London, Paris, Now York am n other gri>at capituls in exhibitions of scienc d and industry as to propose a similar universa e exhibition of Christian art.

We publish this morning the charga< specifications and argument of Mrs'. flarriet Beechftr Stowe on the Lord and Lady Byron mystery, and statements, facts, testimony and opiuions on all sides of the question, sufficient, we beliere, to enable the intelligent reader to form his own conclu- H ^ions on the subject. Our conclusions are that Mr^- Beecher Stowe has made a shocking oharg.,? which she has failed to establish; that her factb are but "1W morbid fancies of Lady Byron ; thi. * l,or wtory is loose and incoherent; that she has s<^zed "P?n a sensation which, iu the end, will not expenses, and which wiii tarnish the glory of "Uncle Tom;" that Mrs. Stowe, in short, in her thd::ghtless publication, has placed herself within the category of reck' less sensational Bohemians, and in a dilemma from which her only escape is a public apology for her credulity and folly in yielding to the deceitful temptation of unearthing and exposing in the market the mysteries of the grave. Her reasons for this exposition are insufficient, and her statement betrays only her ignorance of the case. Th? Fuklou. H Our indefatigable Paris fashions corres* pondent expatiates to-day on the new styles at the European watering places?especially at Aix, the most frequented of them all during the present season?in a manner which excites the curiosity of those of us who in this sweltering weather must resign ourselves to be H "in populous city pent" as to whether any H similar display is visible at Newport, Long H Branoh, Gape May, Saratoga or Nahant. We, H at least, feel sure that nothing like H the gooseberry green armor of "that H terrible man, Am?d<ta de Savole VI., H whose surname was Green," is likely to bo H exhibited by New York dandies at any of our H watering plaoes, although we might not fail to H see something green about them, notwith- .H standing their sublime self-sufficiency. The / bridal dress of silver and tulle which is now H being made in Paris, at a cost of thirty-two H thousand francs, for the Princess Louise of Sweden, will not, we hope, tempt our Ne* H York t>elles to exceed the extravagance ot I bridal toilettes already attained by them.

The Ingratitude of Sambo. The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph publishes a letter from a Northern ladj in Southwestern Georgia, engaged under the auspices of a Northern society in Instructing the negroes of that seotion. She writes for the purpose of oondoling with a certain white champion of th? negroes for their base ingratitude to him when the time came to test their fidelity. She recites her own case, showing that after tha Northern society agreed to pay her salary her board waa to be paid by the "patrons" (parents ?) who sent their children to school, but that they failed to do so, and thai she would have been turned out of doors by her landlady had she not paid her board herself. p She says the negroes are profuse in words, | ( make any amount of fine promises, but never . think of fulfilling them. This is a queer case. , The idea that a Yankee schoolmarm should , have to complain of the ingratitude of Sambo , is oertainly very curious after the atmosphere , of the North has for so many years been over? , burdoned with the clamor of the abolition* ( ists about the unspeakable gratitude of th? Southern negroes to tbeir Northern worship* I pers.
