VAGUE ideas have for some time been
afoat that the Republican party is near its
end that it must soon give way to II newer
organization. These ideas either spring
from n tocit acknowledgment on the part
of some of its members that it has been
failing to meet the requirements of pro-
gressive age, or a notion that its mission
has been SO fully accomplished that its ex-
istencc is no longer necessary. From
whatever source this view may come, it
seems TO us II fallacy. SO far, whatever
may have been its mistake and derelictions
they were scarcely enough to warrant the
first assumption, and the second one may
be safely affirmed to be entirely without
foundation. The Republican, like all other
parties, has suffered many things at the
hands of its friends. 1t has suffered from
visionaries and capablcs, and from tho
roughly selfish members and thieving camp
followers. But in all this it has not lacked
interior vitality and Il constant exhibition
of actual life. -PottSriRc Miners Jou,7dl

TERRIBLE BATTLE or ElGHrEEN
IIOUNS- DEFEAT OF THE CAELlsTs.-
\ special edition OF the Daily Ncus, issued
oul the l9th, announces that large Car
list force has been defeated by the govern
mcnt troops at igualada, in the province OF
Barcelona, after battle Of eighteen hours,
during Which the town WAS frequently tax
en- and lost by the opposing forces. The
number of dead and wounded left upon
the field is 50 large that al the vehicles OF
every kind il tLc town were pressed into
the service for their removal.
The report regarding the battle at Igua-
ladl on Friday very greatly, according as
they come from Madrid and government
sources or by CarlisL sources through Per
pignan. All agree that the place was at
tackled by united Carlist columns under
Prince -Alphonso, and that there was dcs-
perate fighting for eighteen hours.
One part ofthe population assisted in the
defense, aud the other part sympathized
with the Cay.ists. Madrid reports state
the result both ways, but a cigcumstantiaI
account, by way Of Perpisuau, says the
place was captured by the Cariists, with
lUJJ prisoners, / cannon and 2OJO stand ol
smal. arms.

HUSBANDS will need to be particularly
circumspect in the future. "A lady in Au-
rora has sued her husband for divorce bas-
ed upon the revelations ofthe spirits. The
latter have informed her that her husband
is not what hc ought to be, and on their
testimony she has gone to law about it.
Whether these witnesses win be deemed
competent to testify in an earthly court of

religious views of the jury and the Judge.

material for the new party to come from =?
Plainly, the pure clement which is to COM

gotten at all, from the corrupt element Of
the old party. Can n stream rise higher
