ApECAYING DYNASTY.

Any progress that may be made in Europe
in the growth of American, or perhaps,
more properly speaking, republican ideas,
cannot but prove of interest to the Ameri-
can reader. 1t is both gratifying and
profitable, as an indication Of general pro-
gress, and as a means of showing the popu'
larity and usefulness among all men
Of democratic institutions. Partlcu-
arly is this so with reference to
France, a country for whom we have al
ways cherished warm regard. Though her
full stature as republic has not been at
tanned and her growth has been slow, the
strength of her government at present and
the ease with which she passed from mon
archy to democracy must always challenge
admiration and are indeed wonderful,
Many causes have been at work to retard
her progress in the direction indicated,
among the chief of which has been the lin
gering and active spirit of Bonapartism. 1t
has been clog to the wheel, but one by
one its hopes have been dying out. When
this party shall have been entirely
routed and shall cease to entertain
hope of establishing the Napoleonic
dynasty in power again, we may
nationally anticipate greater things
than yet seen of France. 1t is always with
great difficulty and much time before a
people can accommodate themselves to a
political revolution. Hopeful signs, how
ever, continue to be seen from time to
time. In France it is to be noted with
pleasure that recent reports show that the
Bonapartists have commenced lighting
among themselves, and the end
may therefore be anticipated soon.
Through the persistent attacks of
De CAssAIGNAc, the leader of the faction
tavoring PRINCE VICTOR, the Napoleon, the
paper of PRINCE JEROME, and the recog-
nized expouuder of the party principles
heretofore, has had to suspend actually for
want of subscribers. This looks extremely
like the party is on its last lcgs-as If, in
fact, there were no party-and when the
two surviving princes of the Napoleonic
dynasty commence humping each others
heads, It seems as if the dynasty were in
deed dead and the last practical opposition
of monarchy to republicanism in France
gone. We trust such is the case and
that that fair land, and our earliest friend,
may rapidly henceiorth pass to that free
dom of thought and speech, that apprecia-
ton of democratic principles and that
prosperity, which we now present as an
example OF what free people can do for
themselves.

SAN ANTONIO, June 6.-lnformation has
been received from the west of terrible ex-
ploson in tunnel No. /, on the Galveston,
Houston & San Antonio railroad extension.
The men were tunneling from two ends,
and 100 kegs of blasting powder were used
on the east end for the blast. While the
blast was being inserted the sound of picks
and drills could be heard from the workmen
at the west end, but it was not thought
possible to injure them. The men on east
end completed their preiminaries and
touched Off the fuse, leaving the tunnel in
haste. A terrific explosion penetrated
through to where the men were approaching
from the west end, hurting rocks upon them,
killing three and badly injuring five others
The two ends of the tunnel thus met over
dead bodies This is the first tunnel ever
completed in Texas.
