Terrible Tragedy.

MEMPHIS, Jan. 4.-A terrible tragedy
was enacted last week on the plantation
Of I'd. MullenS, in Madison county, Tenn.
Mat. Sledwell went home suffering from
an attack Of mania potu., He quarreled
with his wife and struck her over the
head with agun, inflicting probably a fatal
wound, and then struck his little girl,
aged nine years, over the head with the
same, weapon, iDflicting dangerous
wound. BE then drew a knife and swore
he would cut their throats. The little
girl fled to the woods, and meeting Mr..
Glbeon, who was hunting, informed him
of the state Of affairs. On Gibson's ap-
preaching the house he was discovered by
Sledwell, who advanced on him with a
knife. Gibson retreated some distance,
but finally was forced to fire upon him,
the contents Of the shotgun bringing him
to the ground with severe wound In the
left shoulder and side. On recovering
consciousness Sledwell regretted that
Gibson did not kill him on the SPOT

that the spirit Of q considerable portion
Of the Protestant Episcopal church in
New York Is ripe for this departure. The
accession of Rev. DR.. Goddard, rector of
one Of the largest and most important
churches on Staten Island, is a good sign.
Numerous offers from clergymen Of other

A Crisis In Spain.

A revolution Is again imminent in this
unhappy country, The government ol
CASTELAR, was twice voted down in the
Cortes last Saturday, which Is the same
thing as q declaration Of want Of conf.
dence in his administration and rather
ominous proceeding as regards the eta.
bllity Of the republic itself. CAsTRIAR
at once put the government in a state Of
armed defence and called grand council
Of men Of all parties, except Of the parti.
sans Of CARLOS. What this promises in
the way Of greater strength to his gov.
eminent Is not set forth at this writing,
but we may well feel that the Republic
rests on an insecure foundation when such
proceeding Is necessary. Spain Is such
sdensely ignorant country and so full Of
religious bigotry that in the nature Of
things popular sentiment can not be re.
lied on to sustain free government. She
has q population, including the Canary
and Balearic islands, Of 15,67907O souls.
OF these II .S37,89l can neilherlread nor
write; 7O5.76s can read but cannot write;
and only little over 100000 can read
and write. There are 499 justices Of the
peace who cannot read or write, III, ,119
aldermen and 12I I479 individuals, members
OF town councils, who are unable to sign
their own names.
King AMADEUS found he could not live
in Spain, and 80 he abdicated the crown
to which he had been called from Italy
and LETT the country in disgust. BE was
not a native Of the country, nor was he
in good repute with the Church, being |
son Of VICTOR EMANuE1, and so he saw |
no likelihood OF ever restoring the coun.
try TO normal condition, II indeed there |
is any other normal condition in Spain |
than what we now see. Not being am
bilious to sleep on such a thorny pillow,
he gave the Spaniards up TO their own in. !
ternal dlssensions, and, like a sensible man,
turned his back on them. His successor,
CASTELAR,, who thereupon became Presi.
dent, is made Of sterner stuff, but, like
AMADEUS, lacks the support OF the
Church. He is more noted, perhaps, for
bis famous speech against the Church,
and especially his reply to the Canon oil
Msnterola in the Cortcs that succeeded
the fall oil ISABELLA than for any other
words he ever uttered. This fact the
Church, Of course, has not forgotten, and
is not likely TO. 1t ia, therefore, very
problematical indeed whether he can
succeed in eVoking anything out of the
chaotic elements around him worthy to
be called a government.
LATER.-It seems from further news
Just received that although CAsTELAR's
friends still have the military control of
affairs at Government headquarters in
Madrid, yet he himself declines TO con.
tnue as President. Tho result will prob.
ably not be materially changed on that
account, however. Whatever Of strength
his government had it still has no doubt;
for, after all, in country like Spain and
city like Madrid the continuance of
regime In power Is simply question of
bayonets, and the bayonets, we are happy
to say, are on the side Of the Republic
