TuE Doom OF TIE RADICAL PARTl

TuE Doom OF TIE RADICAL PARTY.
Tho moro sagacious and honest ncws-
papers of the Republican party openly
admit that the power of the orgauiza-
ton is broken. and its rule almost at an
end. The New York SIN says:
"Tho Republican party seems to be
passing through most dangerous crisis.
The Southern elections are all against
it, and ifthe current is not changed, its
doom is Ger ain. Three causes are work
ing for the destruction of this great
party the conspicuous fail re ofG ants
administration the universal amnesty
notions ofthe Hon. Horace Greeley; and
the instability of the negro vcte."
After exposing the utter inbccility of
Grants administration, showing how i'm
possible it is for the Republican party
to hold control of sibgle Southern
State except by keeping the Wits dis
franehised, and alluding in mournful
terLs to the unreliable character of the
negro vote, the Sun makes this emphatic
a; scrtion:
"The recent elections in the South,
therefore, do not more clearly Indicate
to the Democracy the road by which
they are to achieve national victory
in 1872, than they point out to the Re-
pubicans the men and the measures
whereby their doom is already sealed"

THE CoMET.-From an exchange VIC
copy the following full account Of the
comet said to be perccptible during the
nights of tho present month: '.
"For ten years past, astronomers have
told US that during the months Of July,
August and September in this year, the
most wonderful comet the world has
ever known, would appear. 1t is now
to be seen with the naked eye, any clear
night, in the northern part of the hea
vcns, between II and II o'clock, and
from that time till. the morning star
rises. Astronomer assures us that this
comet will approach nearer the earth
than any comet ever did before, and
that either the earth or tho comet will
have to change its course, or collision
is inevitable. This comet is said to be
many thousand times larger than the
earth. It is a solid mass of fire, with
tail of fire that would reach around the
earth more than hundred times, and q
collision with our'planet is not an event
to be very ardently desired"

The Assassination Of the Civil Governor
of Burgos.

Under date Of January 9th, the cor
respondent of the London Times writes
from Madrid: On the morning of Jam
uary 25th, toward noon, the Civil Gov
ernor, accompanied by his highest subal-
tern tunctionsry, the Secretario del
Gobierno, or Provincial Secretary, and
by one of the chief officers of police,
proceeded to the Cathedral. He found
groups OF people ON the square before
the Minister, called the Plaza del Arzo-
bispo, but does not seem to have met with
any hindrance or molestation. At the
door of the church be was received by
three Canons and the Dean, who, upon
hearing his errand, offered to show him
the way to the Archive. As soon as the
Governor had crossed the threshold OF
the church the doors were closed,
and a picket Of civil guards, or
gendarmes, stationed themselves be-
fore il. One of the officers of this force
writes to his superior that the voice of
the Archbishop was heard to cry for help,
and that one of the bells from the steeple
sounded the alarm (taca6o a arrebato).
The mob, apparently at that signal, went
round the building, and forced q way
both into the church and cloister. The
cries of the multitudes were Muerd Ell
Goberndder Tipa la Unitad CatolicG
de Burgos r As the Governor was is
suing from the door of the church which
led into the eloister he asked what the
people wanted, but these closed upon
him, and upon the very steps OF the
threshold pierced him with their daggers
lie acribiliaron a punalazos). He fell /;
he was seen to strive to rise, but was soon
again overpowered and prostrated. The
murderers then tore his clothes from him,
struggling for the possession of those
bloody tatters as trophies, and cut
even the limbs to pieces, like fam
ished wolves" They then threw q red
scarf round the mangled body, dragged
it down the steps, and through the clois-
ter, to the square before the cathedral,
where they were fallen upon by the pub
lie force which dispersed them. The let
ter from which | quote states " that the
whole population had share in the
crime" The town was Immediately de.
clared in state of siege. Four of the
canons, the dean, and other priests, with
between sixty and seventy of the popu-
lace, were arrested. The archbishop,
Don Anastasio Rodrigo Justo, was sub
mitted to an interrogstory. The cathe-
dral was closed, and will not be reopened
for public worship till il be reeonsecrated
/ have been told that the Provincial
Secretary, who, as wrote yesterday, had
"imiraculously escaped" had been saved
by some of the canons. ! hear nothing
further respecting tho police inspector
who was reported wounded.

Horrible immortality in Boston = Book
Stealing bv Ministers and Ladies.

From the American Publisher and Bookseller j
n BosToy, January 26.
In my last letter / mentioned the arrest
of book-thief, during the holiday week,
and his commitment to tie House of
Correction for term of four months.
Hardly had my letter been dispatched
when our late Governor pardoned the
thief and sc. bin free. The caly ground
for the exercise of this unwise clemency
was the respectability of the party.
He was a well-to-do farmer in New
Hampshire, aud a great pressure of
social and political influence was brought
to bear in his favor The judge who
sentenced him pronounced the case one
of the most deliberate, unqualified and
inexcussble instances Of theft that had
ever come to his knowledge, and the
members of the book trade, who suffer
to the extent of thousands of dollars
annually from the depredations Of these
thieves, are naturally and psrdonsbly
indignant at the Governors act.
A few days later, Unitarian minister,
named Slime, was arrested for stealing
books, and an examination of his house
disclosed the fact that he had carried on
his nefsrious business at wholesale.
Books from almost every store in town
were found in his possession, and it was
proved tnat he was in the regular habit
of stealing to sell. There was no
shadow of excuse or pallistion in his
case, yet strong effort is being made TO
procure his discharge-his brother cler-
gymen making personal appeals TO those
he has robbed to abandon the prosecu-
ton. II these book thieves are to es
cape punishment in this way, it might
as well be established that books are not
property. One peculiarity of this branch
Of thievery is, that everybody engaged
in it are respectable"
During holiday week a well-dressed
and resp, elegant young lady, of high
social connections, was detected in the
attempt to "lift" some books, but the
affair was flushed up"
