The Dead Queen.

LONDON, June 27.-The cnlouu
cement of the death OF the Queen o
Spain as beon rsee.vei with p ofoand
sorrow and sympathy throughout
EurOpe The feeling il Spain almost
approaches CONSERVATION. For s3v-
eral days the p4iace 10 which the
Queen lay dying was the centre Of
incessant and vigilant inquiries
Hopes were raised at the crisis q
the Queens disease that her vigorous
constitution might triumph over the
complication Of maladies with which
she was afflicted, but her condition
was made doubly perilous by the
fact that she was expected TO become
a mother before the end of the year,
and finally became hopeless. She
died about noon in the arms Of the
king, and surrounded by the royal
family.
The remains Of the late Queen Will
lie in state to-day, and will be con-
veyed to the royal m~ausJleum at the
Escurial on Friday.

An Expensive Party.

The Rebellion of 1861 was wholly
the work Of the Democratic party.
The secession of the Southern States
was planned in the party and execu-
ted by Democrats. The Northern
sympathizers with rebellion were all
Democrats. Only Democrats r%ejoic.
ed in rebel victories, or refused to
hoist American flags. But for the
hope of aid promised by Northern
Democrats, and the confidence thus
inspired that they would be able to
conquer the government and remodel
it upon a slavery foundation, the reb.
els never would have attacked Fort
Sumter, and forced tie nation upon
the defense of its life. They proba-
bly, never would have attempted to
secede from the Union if they had
not been encouraged by the North
ern Democracy. The war, therefore,
was wholly and purely of Democrat
ic origin, inspiration aud encourage
ment, as was its %protraction through
years of blood and waste and horror.
= = The entire cost Of the
Democracy tothe nation in four years,
from April, 1861, to the close of the
war, including national expenses,
State expenses, Losses by mobs, waste
of industry, loss of production by
death and disabling injuries, saying
nothing of the annual loss since from
the same causes, but regarding only
that during the four years of actual
war, was at least 81, 600, 000, 900.
1t follows that the National debt,
having been caused by the Demo-
cratic war, is directly chargeable to
that party. Every dollar of taxes
levied and collected from the people
| since the war, beyond the necessary
ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment, is due to the same cause. The
disturbance of industries, the infa-
ton Of currency by a necessary and
unavoidable over-issue of paper mon
ey, the consequent imitation and the
shrinkage of values-in short, all the
financial evils of the country, are d.
rectly traceable to the same source.
We conclude that the Democratic
party has cost the country far too
much already, and ought not to be
entrusted with the control of the
Government for the purpose of com
pleting its work of destruction In
didndp0tis Journal.

The sismese Twins 0ufdone.

There is now ON exhibition ia the
library Of the Aquarium a natural
curiosity that tar surpasses ia woader
the celebrated Siamese twins. 1t is
q pair Of twins, with two heads aud
two pairs of arms, but only a single
pair Of legs. The trunks are j'iaed
at the thighs, the two baekbones
forming a V, and every part Of the
children, with the exception Of this
one freak Of nature is perfect. Their
sex is female. and they are pretty
little babies, not the dwarfed and pu-
nv creatures that are usually exhibit
ed.
They are known as the St. BenOit
twins, having been born 10 the Cana
dial town of that name. The par
ents are both with the children, and
take pride in exhibiting them to the
public. They have q other child,
a girl Of two years, entirely free from
blemish. The parents are 81 years
old, their names are Drouni, and they
can speak no English. The children
are ) months old, and give every
promise Of growing to wOmsnboOd.-

The Next Congress.

The king is dead Long live The
kingl Congress has adjourned. The
whole country, offended at and in.
.jured by the last Congress as il
never was by any of its predecessors
and taught by the neglect Of patent
opportunities for improvement, aud
the improvement of clear sources OF
evil, how much depends upon the
constitution of a body having the
highest and all interests of lie nation
in its keeping; taught, too, in the
same school how little trust can be
reposed ia the stoutest Democratic
afirmations, and how little conf.
dence can be placed in southern
promises, now turns TO the election
Of another Congress, TO which greater
interests vii, be committed and
much weightier responsibilities con-
fded. This election will be more
holly contested than IFS predecessors.
There is every reason for believing
that it may aud will be VOL by
Republican votes, 80 that the next
Congress will be entirely different
from its predecessor in composition,
IN character ana 10 action.
The last House contained two
hundred and ninety-three members,
exclusive of sight delegates, of whom
lao were Republican aud I5S Dsmo-

eight votes by ~unseating four Re.

ARDS MoyEMENT-LARGE
FORCE OF INDIANS.
SAN Francisco, June ga Sill
yer City despatch says the assault
made by Bernard upon the Indians
at Curry Creek turns out to be a sue
cess. 1t was a surprise to the Indians,
about forty Of whom were killed.
The soldiers were very cool when the
charge was made The Indian force
present was estimated at seven hum
dred, bat it vas probably not so
large. The Indians retreated to their
stronghold in STEMS Mountain. Gen
eral Howard, with the force under
his personal command, is making
forty-fve miles a day and will effect
a junction with Bernard tonight.
1t is estimated that the whole num-
Der Of Indian warriors will reach two
thousand.
One hundred and three camp fires
were counted. The Indians will be
pursued and there is every prospect
of q ~protracted campaign. The Stein
Mountain country is we'll adapted for
defensive operations.
A Boise City despatch says the
force under Colonel Bernard in the
recent fight, including scouts, mum.
bered about two hundred men. The
number Of indians is unknown. One
of General Towards scouts arrived
here yesterday from Bonanza City, in
Lemhi country.
He reports that on Thursday last
the mail service carriers between
Salmon City and Bonanza City
brought intelligence that the Indians
belonging to Ten Days" band of
Bannocks had murdered the herders
Of Colonel Shoup and others who
were herding stock on Cimivine
Greek, near Salmon City, about six
" miles distant from Bonanzl. Two
of the bodies OF the murdered men
had been found and there were seve-
raj others missing.
This news created intense excite
ment, and the mines and ranches in
that section were being abandoned.
Ten Days" band numbers several
hundred warriors, belonging, nomin-
ally, to the Lemhi reservation, but
having their haunts and hunting
grounds among the settlers on the
Upper Salmon River and in the ad-
Joining sections of Montana. These
Indians have been foraging till dis
c~ontented. Though protesting friend
ship for the whites they are now
probably on the warpath.

number of squaws, papooses and old
indians, was recently discovered by
some ~stockmen about twenty five
