The CARIIsT STRuGeIK.-A severe
stroke. but not necessarily the finish
ing one, has been given the Carlist
cause in Spain by the defeat OF theiu-
defatigable royalist at Irun. This lit
tie town, which is not far from the
French border, had been invested by
Don Carlos and bombarded for several
| weeks, and though the garrison was n
small one, and the place might have
been carried by storm, he contented
himself with cinnonading and skir-
mishing until relief cnme from the
Republican army, aud the peasant CO,

the reconstructed Union has come to
be generally accepted. Other feelings

the reconstructed Union has come to
be generally accepted. Other feelings
than shs! OF suspicion have been
aroused towards the Southern people.
Sympathy. pity. and generous admi-
ration for some of their traits under
their severe triale, have entered into
the Northern heart The one powerful
motive that induced large portion Of
the North to bear with tho many faults
OF the Republican leaders has been re-
moved, and on Tuesday, November 3,
probably $50, 900 voters quietly lett it's
ranks: and, for the time being, ranged
themselves under the banner of their
late opponentsl Here is lesson for
the so-oa!led Republicans in Tho South
ern States, in tho feelings attributed
to the Northern Republicans. Radical
bitterness and insolence towards the
people here were modelled upon the
same feelings in their confieres North.
They only aped their betters. Let
them follow and initiate them, also, in
their repentance, and in the obscry-
ance OF more respectful and decent
tone Of comment upon those whom
Providence. for some mysterious und
inexplicable reason, has allowed them,
under the protection of the Govern
ment and of a perverted public North
ern opinion, to traduce and insult.
EFFEcrs OF FALSE TEAcuISu No
thing could moro poiutcdly illustrate
the falsity of the Radical carpct-b bag
system of political ethics in the South
than the news which comes from
Montgomery, Ala, that many of tho
negroes there have been going about
selecting new masters, under the i'm
preston that. as cons quence Of the
late Democratic victories. they are to
be again forced into slavery. No doubt
many OF the poor creatures, whose sim-
plicity has mado them tho ready tools
OF unscrupulous political pretcnders,
not only believed the story that hnd
been breathed into their credulous
ears before the election, bn; were
really willing rather to surrender their
liberty to respectable men whom they
could trust, than subject themselves
again to the mastery of the trcac!erous
and worthless demngogues of n party.
The white people, Wa are told, in vain
endeavor to re.assure them. They will
soon learn, however, that they are not
only not going back into slavery, bnt
be enabled to enjoy greater freedom,
and get more to eat, drink, wear and
spend than they ever did or would get
from Radical carpet. baggers and scala
wags.

The brave charge of Judge McNan-

comparatively free from acts of viO-

South. and Kentucky largely, has suf
fered much from false and exaggerated
reports of such matters. but this does
not excuse US from the performance OF

should be shown all such men, and
there ought to be DO foreclosures of
