ing !: A new ministry has been formed

War, Sayola; Justice, Figuerola; Ag-
riculture, Becerra; Finance, Efiche-
CARA; Interior, Ruiz; Marine, Topete.
The final decisive vote by which Cas-
telar was beaten in the Cortez stool
I2O to 100, the majority against him
being 20 instead of 100 as first report
ed. As soon as the result was announ-
ced, General Pavia sent an officer to
the Chamber with letter demanding
the dissolution of the Cortes. Salmer-
on and Others urged CASTELAR, to con-
time in power but their prayer was
refused, whereupon company Of the
municipal guard entered the place Of
the Cortes and expelled deputies,
while General Pavia, with his staff,
held a position outside with cannon
pointed at the building: Evening.
All strategic points in the city were
occupied by the militia last night.
The civil and military authorities Of
nearly all the Provinces in communi-
cation with Madrid, have telegraphed
to General Pavia their approval Of
his conduct. No disturbance is re-
ported in any quarter. A decree has
been promulgated appointing Marshal
Serrauo chief of executive power.

The Worth RrniM Recielr says :
At the beginning Of a carouse of q

the brain matter wastes too rapidly,

itself through the system, converting
arterial into venous blood, and loading
that tiaid with a spirit which has a
tendency to prevent change in the It's

AT the radical Republican Conven-
ton which nominated Mr.. McDiIl,
delegates were here from Shawano
and Marquette-the former county
represented by Senator McCord.
The fact is, neither of those assem-
bly, districts held conventions for the
election of such delegates, and
therefore they had no right in the
Congressional Convention. The tao
tics of the radical politician are
tricks that are vain. "-TriJme.

guardianship over the political chasti-

Ego for him" with a vindictiveness
that lily becomes republican journals.
They allege that Mr.. kimball's nonlin-
alton was the result of intrigue through
Mr.. Sawyer. the former representative
Of the District. This may be true, we
hardly disbelieve it, for both these
journals in showing their tea'ty to Hon.
Z. L. Browne, have abused Mr.. Saw
Vel, before and since the nomination,
to an extent that ought to have aroused
the ire Of a true man. Whether Mr..
Sawyer did or did not cast his influence
for Mr.. KimbaT, or against Mr..
Browne, is a question Of but little mo-
ment now. 1t becomes the duty of
every republican journal to stand BY
the party of principle TO-DAY Mr..
Bright and Mr. Gordon, you have no
right to jeopardize the interests of the
Republican Party as you are doing by
the course you are pursuing; and you,
Hon. +. L. Browne, have no right to
stand cody by and witness the disin-
tegration of the party, simply because
vou were defeated before the nominal
ing convention. Principles are at stake
in the coming election, the maintain
cnce Of which should outweigh the
strongest desire for the qualification of
personal piques, and upon your heads,
gentlemen, will fall the maledictions Of
an outraged people if Mr. KimbaIl is
defeated in the 9th District in Novem-
Der. You can lily afford to take this
great responsibility upon yourselves.
We are hoping, almost against hope
however, to see the honorable gentle
men alluded to assume another attitude

What the Irish World Thinks

We heartily commend the following
to our Irish readers for careful perusal !:
whatever may be urgel against
the Republican party, the charge Of
ingratitude, at least. cannot be laid at
its door. It made capital out Of the
negro: but it, in turn, conferred rights
on the negro and lifted him into a
position of honor. The negroes, nat
urally enough, have gone en- masse
with the Republican party. irish, on
the other hand, have gone with the
Democratic party, In fact, in many p!a-
ces, the Irish were the Democratic party.
In Massachusetts, they constitute about
two thirds OF its votes In New York
State they form full half In New York
City they probably number three ffths
Democ ratio orators have often de
clared that the Republican party has
made governors. senators, legislators.
and mayors Of ringers The charge
is true. Now, we turn to the Demo
cratic orators. and ask how has the
Democratic party acted toward the
Irish ? The orators viii not answer,
We, however, will speak for them.
From the birth of the nation till now,
never has an Irish-American sat in the
gubernatorial chair in New York OF
Massachusetts. Never have we had a
Acknowledgements; never secretary
Of state never L. 5. senator; never
mayor of the two principal cities.
And yet it was to the Irish vote the
Democracy has had to look Tor victory.
The Republican party has treated the
n.7roeS as men; the Democratic party
has treated the Irish as niggers.' .
