NEARLY all political parties ola revolutionary
character have during their short lived existence
given birth to corrupt, brutal and venal judi
ciary. Such, however, is not the case with
parties which represent great principles and are
destined to long life. The great political par
ties which preceded the Radical party in this
country did not corrupt the judiciary, nor would
they have permitted such baseness as that
which the Radical party seems to encourage in
its judiciary. The old Wing and Democratic
parties wrestled and fought for supremacy for
nearly half century, and many of the political
leaders of those parties were unscrupulous and
reckless of consequences in their zeal for the
triumph of their respective parties. But du-
ring the long period of their contests for power
the judiciary remained spotless and uncontami-
nated-Enquirer and EnaDatner.
Nothing is left but to hold fast to our integ-
ritz. to contribute no aid and give no counte-
names to the Infamous scheme Of degrading the
White race. Bolts, the leader Of the conserva-
five wing Of the Radical party, may cause dis
~ sion in the ranks for while, but Senator
Wilson will pour oil on the troubled waters and

BALTIMORE, Dec. %. = Lieutenant General
Sherman is still here, as the guest of Major Van
ViIet.
The loyal friends Of Major-General Hancock,
whilst he was in command here, had a splendid
tulllength portrait likeness of him taken, and
elegantly framed, at the cost of nearly a thou
sand dollars, which they intended presenting
him as a compliment, but he refused to receive
it, and it is still on exhibition at the artists
studio in this city. he did not relish what
seemed to be political honors, though
coming from his then loyal admirers. Presi-
dent johnson should send another message to
Congress, advising its purchase for the Rotunda
of the Capitol. n
Rain fell copiously during great part of yes
terday, and carried off much of the snow. 1t IS
now materially milder, and the streets crowded
with holiday merchants. Business, however, is
very dull, and there is much complaint of tight
ness in the money market.

THE WAR IN ABYSSLNIA.

Diary OF One or the Kings CaptIves-
Cruelty OF His Majesty-In "Tho6BIack
House" at Debra Tabor.
The East India mail, by way of England, fur
inches copy of the diary of Dr. Blanc, one of
the Abyssinian captives, just published in Bonn
bay. This paper, dated Magdala, August 81,
1861, contains a complete account of the vary
ing fortunes attending Mr.. Rassam's mission
from the 20th of july 1864, the date of their de-
parture from Alden, up to the end of August.
The compilation of the report was no easy mat
ter. DIR. Blanc says on this point:-'I was
obliged on two occasions to burn my report;
first, on being made prisoner, in April, 1865
when we thought 1t advisable to DESTROY note
letter, or paper in our possession. At Gafat
began TO write 1t for the second time; but after
the events that occurred there, seized the
first opportunity of making away with it. At
Magdala, It Is exceedingly difficult TO write;
spies are constantly peeping into our tent on
are so great, as the order is that any one found
writing is TO be chained hand and foot" In
spite of this penalty, however, DR.. Blanc's re-
port is said to be a marvel of neatness, exhi-
biting the greatest patience and care.
OF their prospects DR.. Blanc says little, not
having then heard that an expedition was on Its
way to release them, or avenge their death.
But for their being constantly chained, their
condition as prisoners would be tolerably com.
Portable, the more SO as the Emperor can now
have but very little dealings with them. They
forth; the Emperor was daily rloting in blood
aud murder, and, as tar as his much crippled
power would admit, satiating his one desire
revenge. Their best hope seemed to be that,
should they change owners, they might fall into
the hands of some powerful chief who would
know their value, rather than into the hands of
the ignorant and infuriated peasantry, who,
likely enough, might regard them as in some
way connected with the terrible misery which
the wreiched cultivators have lately endured at
the hands of the Negus.
DR.. Blanc says:-"The two days we spent In
the black house at Debra Tabor, all hudded up
together, obliged to have lighted candles day
and night, anxious and uncertain about our
iutnre tate, were really days Of mental torture
and physical discomfort, to which, in our time,
few have been subjected. We hailed with 10y
the announcement that we were going to move;
any alternative was preferable 10 our position;

BOILER EXPLOSION IN CHICAGO.
Explosion of the Boiler OF a Locomotive
In the Illinois Central DepOt-Great
Destruction of Property.

Explosion of the Boiler OF a Locomotive
I'm the Illinois Central DepOt-Grsat
Destruction of Property.
From Chicago Republican, Dec %
The Great Union Central Depot was early yes
terday morning the scene of a terrific explosion
that of the boiler OF locomotive, which,
strangely enough, resulted in but slight injury
to q few persons and the demolition of por-
tion OF the roof and windoW-panes in the depot
and adjacent buildings.
The platform was not wholly cleared of the
thTong at a few minutes before eight o'clock,
when the explosion occurred, and it is fortunate
nj lives we're lost. Suddenly, and with deaf
ening crash, the boiler of the locomotive ex-
ploded, and promenaders on the platform were
precipitated violently to the 'panks. There
were no premonitory symptoms on the part OF
the engine previous to the conclusion, and the
disaster occurred before the slightest opportu-
nifty was afforded for escape.
Tie scene presented almost beggars descrio-
tion. The platform was covered with fragments
of the locomotive and roof of the building, and
inhnitesimal particles OF glass were scattered
hither and thither. A portion of the engine had
been thrown through the roof, making an i'm
mense hssure, and the refre 'hment room had
beon completely gutted. The dome of the
engine, with adjacent fixtures, said to have
weighed 1900 pounds, was thrown a height of
nearly two hundred feet, and landed in freig ght
car east of the depot. One of tue iron braces
which connected the boiler with the frame
work of the engine was also carried through the
roof, and struck on the top OF a "Blue Line" car
shatterlng it considerably. The windo MS in the
surl ounding buildings were broken.
AS to the immediate cause of the explosion
nothing is known. The engineer conesses his
inability to conjecture. He states that he was
running lO3 pounds steam pressure, and that
the four guages of the boiler, when tested,
showed that there was not an insuffcency OF
water. The upper part of the engine was
stripped, and the Aues were contracted into the
most fantastic shapes. The end and front OF
the boiler, however, are intact. Experienced
engineers who have examined the wreck assert
that this explosion is a most remarkable one,
there being no cause to which it can be assigned,
except, perhaps, some weak spot in the boiler.
The locomotive was valued at $l2, ,000 and was
damaged about $4,000. 1t had been in the repair
shop in November, and was pronounced per
iectly sound. The total DAMAGE TO the depot,
cars, and locomotive is estimated at about
1926, 900.

denied one TO Walsh, may be looked on as the
final disposal of the case.
The judge who passed sentence, moreover was
emphatic in his warning to the prisoner to place
no reliance on the counsel of those who would
represent that there was a chance OF escape
and after the removal of the prisoner, gave posi-
tive instructions regarding the execution. The
only motive that suggested the petition to the
Governor from few humane and wellmeaniug
attempting to pallate deed of blood so unpro.
voked that 1t falls properly into the record Of
highwavmen. To escape the full measure of
retributon for such crime, man must pass
beyond the. confines of New Jersey. Here the
law is so ineXorable that a man may plainly
ioresee the sentence OF the blood-dyed criminal.

HAVANA, Dec. 2l.-The Spanish steam-frigate
Francisco de Asis arrived here to-day from
Porto Rico, with General Francisco de Sales
Lersundi, our new Captain-General. Immense
crowds thronged the wharVes and terraces that
line the bay TO welcome the General as the
irieate entered the harbor of Havana. A large
steamer aud all the ferry-boats had been en-
gagged TO convey those who wished to salute the
General before reaching the MORO Castle and
accompany the Francisco de Asis as she entered
the bay. These steamers went out some distance
to sea; they were crowded, and were gally
decked with flags and streamers. Bands OF
music accompanied all these boats and enlivened
the scene by their choice music. When the
trigate arrived opposite the city she came to
anchor and a delegation from the corporate
bodies went aboard to welcome his Excellency.
who expressed his pleasure and qualification at
the cordial and magnificent welcome extended
to him on this second occasion of his arrival as
Captain-General among them.
After the usual courtesies his Excelleucy
came ashore, aud the line OF procession was
formed to the palace. The Captaiu-General and
suite filed FIVE carriages and were escorted by
the BiscayRns resident in Havana, who formed
in double line. This privilege was accorded
them ton account of General Lursundi being
native of the Biscayan provinces of Spain. The
procession passed under several triumphal
arches. The landing was effected on a carpeted
pathway, aDQ amid the SnOutS ana was OF Lne
assembled population, the forts and ships in the
barbor meanwhile firing the salute customary
on such occasions.
All the troops of the garrison were in line,
and his EXcellency was in full uniform. He
was presented with splendid sword by the
municipality.
