DEATH OF ROYALTY IN SPAIN.-Of-
fetal notification had been received
at the State Department, Friday,
from Minister Hale, that the Spanish
monarchy has ceased to exist, and
that Provisional Government has
been organized. Tho matter is the
occasion Of some talk in diplomatic
circles. 1t is deemed certain that
the United States will take early oc
casion to recognize the Junta as the
De fdcto government OF Spain. A
prominent diplomatist of Liberal ten
deDcies is said to have remarked that
there would be political justice nsuch
recognition, since the Spanish Bour-
5ons were the readiest Of European
sovereigns to show their sympathy
with the defunct rebel Confederacy.

DISISrEGRATION OF RADICAIISM. The
corruptiOas and eXcesses of the Radical
politicians Of Philadelphia have, at last,
cIoven their party in twain in that city.
Discord reigna supreme in club house and
bar-room, and like the fighting felines of
Kilkenny, the Radical factions are scarce
ly leaving as much as their caudal ex-
tremities to tell the tate of their former ex-
istence. The ''Ring" have nominated
w. B. Mann for District Attorney, whilst
the "BGowu, stoners" have selected Isaac
Hazlehurst as their candidate for that
office. A mournful strain comes up from
Forney's Press-''a wall of the damned"
over the prospective loss Of the sop of
office TO the Cerberus of the Radical In
ferno. Hear the piteous moan. II almost
brings the brine TO ones eyes to listen to
the queruIous quacking of this dying duck
ling:
'In all fairness this should have ended
the contest so far as internal organization
is concerned, but the action of the boilers
from the convention yesterday, before eUe1, q
ballot had been cast or ordered, presents an
evidence of diaco-d which strikes a severe
bow at our great party, and which, unless
soon repaired, may wreck our whole local
and State ticket, and even affect the election
of General Grant"
EEeu! alas and alack and a-wella day,
Bill Mann will be beaten, the whole local
"Ring" ticket will be beaten, the Radical
State ticket will be beaten, Grant will be
beaten, and There will be no pap for
John w. Foney! Oh, woefuI day, dies
'r'ue, oh, fateful time, that sees power and
plunder depart from the grasp of Forney
Let Mann and Hazelhurst reconcile their
differences; 'let us have peace" as Grant
would say. For goodness sake, don't do
anything that will stop Forney's bread and
butter. "Occasionars" bowels yearn con-
tinpaliy as it is.
Cease, mad Radicals, cease you strife,
Let the dead Duck" languish into life |!

YATES REPUDIATEs Senator Yates,
of Illinois, made a speech in the United
States Senate, on Wednesday last, in
which he took square issue with the Chi
cago platform in regard to the suffrage
question. We quote from the proceedings
OF the Senate, as reported by the Associa>
ted Press:
"Mr Chandler then withdrep his motion
and Mr.. Yates, taking the floor. proceeded
to argue on the right cf Congress to impose
conditions OF admission upon States, and Of
the perfect control of that body over the
question Of suffrage il all the States. He
contcudod that the Senators who voted for
this bill, and who voted for the Colorado
bill, had committed themselves to this prin-
ciple. II they had the right 70 control the
suffrage in the States Of the South, they had
the right to control it IN the States Of the
North, and there WAS no possible evasion OF
this point"
What will the Radical party do with
Yates for thus contemptuously expectorat-
ing upon their platform ? VIII they read
him out, a Ia TrumbulI, Grimes, Fowler,
ct at His speech, certainly, Is as hereli-
cal as Trumbull's vote, and quite as dam
aging TO Radicaiism. m.-HalriSJug Patriot

Reconstruction. The bill to admit
Into ''thc Union" the States of Georgia,
Alabama, Louisiana, North and South
Carolina and Florida, has passed both
houses Of Congress, and is in the hands of
the President, who will, without doubt,
veto this outrageous bill, and present his
reasons therefor 10 the country. Alaba~
ma is admitted, says the Harrisburg Pa
triot, Notwithstanding the fact that the
carpet baggers' constitution WAS rejected
by the people; minority only Of the
registered voters Of the State having gone
to tie polls, the act Of Congress requiring
n majority. But the reconstruction COM
nittee took Gr PCLsrte testimony, to the eff
feet that many negroes were deferred
from going to the polls by threats, and
that On account of a very heavy rain
storm, "the river was SO high that Sam.
bo couldn't get across to vote and so
admitted Alabama. The Legislatures of
these States, and of Arkansas, already
admitted, will now assemble and send
twelve ''mean whites" TO the United
SsaIes Senate. Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas still remain in a territorial condi-
ton. There are screws loose in these
parts of Tie dominion of Gcn. Grant
There is great dagger that they will re-
lapse into the hands Of the white man,
and hence the Radicals are in no hurry
10 ''TecOnstruct" them. Unless more
troops and Frecdmen's Bureau agents are
sent among them, the Radicals might
lose them in November. For this reason
it is aought better to keep them out of
the "Union" altogether.
Now, that these seven Radical States
are admitted, the question comes up, are
the troops to be Withdrawn? Do the
Radicals intend to keep these States of
their own making, beneath the heel of
the military, until after the November
election ! Cannot the negro sovereigns
and the ''loyal whites" run the machine,
without the aid of the bayonet? We will
now see what confidence the Radical have
IN the virtue of their own political nos
trUms.

DEATH III TIE ASSASSIN. The foreign
dispatches of yesterday brought the news
OF the assassination in far~off country,
of Michael, the reigning Prince of Servia,
who was shot in one of the public parks
of the capital, 1.-The City of Belgrave
Servia of which he was Hospodar or
Governor, is a territery of about the size
OF Pennsylvania with a population of over
million of inhabitants. 1t is considered
the most beautiful country of all the Danu-
ban principalities, and the gem in the
midst of the warlike races Of sthe Carpa-
THAN and Balkan mountains.
The father (Mi!osh Obrenovitch) of the
late Prince was compelled in 1889 to re-
sign his Office of Governor in favor of his
son Milan, soon after died, and
was succeeded by this assassinated Prince
Michael, who in turn was depo5ed bv in
surrcction in 1912 and succeeded by an
adventurer, Alex Stcfanovitch. Strange
ly enough however a revolution in 1858
restored the father Milosh to power, and
on his death iii 1860, this son, the Prince
Michael, succeeded his father, and was
rs noted above, Governor at tie time o
his death
| The Prince was born in 1925, and foI
one, not yet so very old, has indeed beer
! fated to chequered life and melancholy
! end at last.-Pi1sbuygh Post, 18th

A SCHOOL HOUSE Full OF SCHOLARS
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING While the storm
was at its height the Methodist church at
Savanna, Illinois, used as school house,
was struck by lightning. The school had
been dismissed and the scholars were
standing about the doorway waiting for
the storm to subside, when bolt of fire
struck the gable end Of the church, tear
ing off the siding about ten feet in width,
reaching the lower sill and removing a
large quantity of plastering on the inside,
while the door. casing was shivered into
fragments and the floor covered with
ruins. At the time of the accident, as
we have before stated, the scholars, about
sixty in number, were hudd!ed together in
the doorway, and every one was more or
less injured. One small boy had his
boot taken off, and was thrown down by
the shock, but soon recovered, picked up
his boot and started for home. Miss
Emily Sinclair had both shoes torn from
her feet, the lightning in its course going
near the instep down to the sole, leaving
zigzag tare around to the heel. The
| eyelets in the shoes were melted, while
the feet of the girl were badly blistered,
but, strange TO say, the shock made her
insensible but for few moments. A.
Saxton was seriously hurt, his body being
badly blistered, but hopes are entertained
! OF his recovery. One of the citizens, sit
ting in a doorway fifty feet from the
| church, was knocked down for moment,
but as soon as he could recover himself
| he rushed over and found four children
apparently lifeless. They were carried
home, and remained in that state for
hours, but were finally resuscitated The
affair, as may be imagined, caused great
excitement, and fathers and mothers,
whose little ones chanced to be in the
church, were almost bereft of reason

Mr.. WooLLEY.-Mr WoolIey has
been released from the Radical bastile
lie refused to answer questions, because
they related to the business of his client,
aud client has right TO the secrecy of
lis attorney. Butler then summoned the
Client, who testified that his business had
nothing to do with the impeachment.
Nj. Woolley then had ne objection to
answer, and did so, and has been dis
charged. Butler, to keep himself before

'''much Ado About Nothing" He also
Eln@os the whole proceeding farce by
AToiding any investigation of the corrup-
SION and intimidation used by the Radi-
csls in their vain efforts to secure an

Butler GETS SNUEBED- 1t is said that
during the examination Of Mr. Ransom
Van YalkcnbuTg, before Buffers inquisi~
ton, that Butler asked the witness what
ne had been doing in Washington so long?
To which the latter replied, ''None of
your business. sir" The examination of
this witness was further continued, and
the EGDrsss publishes the following report
thereof:
Mr.. Butler asked: What became Of
the money that Mr.. Woolley left in his
rnom ou the centre table
Answer: l have it in my pocket.
Butler: VIII! you produce it and the
envelope containing the other papers p
Answer: will produce the money,
but tue papers you shall! not have.
The money was then laid on the table,
amounting 10 SIT, 100, in seventeen one
thousand dollar notea, and small bills
making the one hundred dollars.
Immediately after Butler received the
money he ordered the witness out of
the room, but he declined to leave, giving
as a reason that he (witness) was respon~
sible for the money, and he could not
leave it in his CButler's) hands. Butler
insisted on the witness leaving the room,
but the gentleman refused, without he
could take th } money with him. At last
b. was forced to succumb, and the money
was counted 10 the custodian's presence.
Butler counted the money, the clerk of
the committee taking the numbers of the
notes.
After the counting Butler looking side
teays, said TO the witness: | find, sr,
here sixteen thousand one hundred dollars.
Witness. Mr.. Butler, if you will take
the trouble to | ok under that piece Of
paper near you, l think you will find
one thousand dollar note, Ich.ch 1 hare no
doubt arcs placed there through mistake.
General Logan rising from the sofa,
said: Yes, Butler, l see one corner Of It
sticking out.
Butler: Oh, yes did not notice it
before.
