The propriety of eetablishi o g. a eeperato party, u.-escary for the purpose , of scent - tug proper legislation, is not questioned. But the absurdity of at tempting a general reform of the national politica is quite apparent.

The following is the official report of the civil governor of Tarragona to the Ministry of the murder committed on Monday even ing, September 20th, as noted by telegraph. General Pierrad has been placed under ar rest, the volunteers of Tarragona, have been disarmed, and the republican clubs dissolved: ,TAIIIIMIONA, September 20,1800.-Your Ex cellenev ; Having had to go early this morning to a pueblo near this city on urgent duty; .1 intrusted the governorship to my Secretary, lion Rainnundo de. Los Reyes Gard, accord ing to the telegram I had the honor to trans mit to your Excellency on my.return to this c y at 8 o elock-this-everiingi-when-the-ener miry of the crime committed - in my •• short ab sence required to be brought immediately to the superior knowledge of your Excellency. P. refer to the death, horrible and treach erous from the circumstances which at-. tended it, of my secretary, which took place at 6 o'clock this evening, at 'the moment that zealous functionary, complying with his • dirties, was trying to oppose the aubversive • cries given on the entrance of General Blas Pierrad into the city. 'According to the most reliable'version of the doleful deed which has reached me, it appears that when the proces sion of the General entered the Calle de la Union, one of the most densely crowded parts di the poimlation, the unfortunate secretary observed that, contrary to, the distinct prohibitions of the law, and not withstanding my having previously adopted dispositions ,to prevent such scandal, 'they were giving, cheers for the Federal Republic, which motto was also on one of the banners they were ostentatiously displaying. I,Vhen the coach containing Gen. Plerrad passed in front of the Secretary, the latter advanced to him, spoke to him of the ir regularity with which the procession was ing conducted, and urged him, to use his au thoritative voice to restrain the turbulent, to pTeserve order, and to avoid the continuance of such misbehavior. The reply of the General was angry and beyond measure improper—to the effect that he had authority from the Goveniment to tolerate such misbe havior and that he saw no reason to take any account of the observations of an authority -which he did not recognize. TWA singular answer, given with a loud voice, which the masses who surrounded the coach could hear, and the gystures and other incidents which accompanied it, inflamed the people. To cries of "Kill biro, kill him; give him no quarter," they commenced a canrubalistic scene. They attacked the Secretary without itv or com- passion, an wit out .0e frener ng any means to save the victim of his duties. from the wretcheS to whom -he had delivered him. He tranquilly continued his progress to the march of the joyful bands' of music which aecompanied him. Your Excellexicy, words do not exist in the dictionary sufficiently strong to express the conduct of the General, Nam 'impassively continued • his Triumphal march, leaving .behind him.the noise of the angry crowd, the cries of the vietim, all un armed and iMaocent; and that bloody' scene which no peb. can describe. They buffeted him, stabbed him, threw him on, the ground, •and then tramped onhim likesaimges—To cap 'their brutality and barbarity they tied his legs with a rope, and then he was dragged along by loose and excited women and ragged .boys 200 metres from , the scene of the occur rence, the body still palpitating, to the en trance of the quay, with intent to throw him into the sea, This they would have done Initfor some earbineeis who were there, who prevented them, - and who guarded the body till the civil guard came hp, together with the magistrates, who at once coinmend to make the proper inquiries. The above is a faithful relation of the terrible andgenerally lamented sacritiee of a worthy functionary, who has thus inherited the glory which fell on Senor Castro, the Governor of Burgos, and whose cruel hecatomb. on the altar of public order and the sanctity of the laws calls for prompt justice. The deed, which has filled. the city with consternation bad hardly occurred vrhem the citizen: forces met spon taneously, without ,orders from their chiefs, and took up arms. .As yet they have committed no transgressions, but the at titude they assume toward my authority is suspicious, and I think they.should be disarmed and dissolved. The CommaiuNnt-General of the Province has taken his dispositions that the garrison shall be well prepared, and they, will reinforced by troops from Rens. I have also taken my measures tor any eventuality; and I only hope the government, on their part, will order What the gravity of the circum stances counsels. Rest satisfied they will find me ever firm and.decided fn, complying faith fully and exactly with what they may com mand to secure liberty and consolidate the revolution. ° God guard your Excellency many years. - JuaN M.

The New York Times says Pendleton and Packel are staking not the State only, but the PrMdential nomination . for 1872 on this hazard of the die. What each needs, therefore, for hispnrpose, is less Demo cratie vindication thanDOMCKtratic votes ;,what the canvass means to their/friends is not a general defence of Democratic national theo ries on finance ' suffrage, reconstruction, or repudiation, but the personal prestige of "run ning ahead of the ticket," or of "redeeming" their States. The future is the guerdon they playy, for, not the present; and hence they care little for'."the rhetoric peculiar to these occasions." -It has • been remark able all along • in this can vass how powerfully the general arguments of the Republic= cause as a whole hayei been put,hew weakly they have been attacked i and how, little attention. has been paid by Demo cratic orators to, the national. party. What, thej want, as we Have explained, is 'less to let the general Democratic doctrines run the risk of a grand tilt against Republicanism, than, by party machinery arid rallying, to sweep an election which their opponents, it Le hoped; may egleet. Hence the powerful demnicia tions of Dextiocratic inconsistencies by Morton and Garfield in Ohio, and the unanswerable financial' arguments of Wells and Delano in „Pennsylvania, have been sullered to go tom paratively unnoticed. The Last, llikiesg of Mx-President Pierce. Rorreapnminnrn nf tha :Tinatnit.totilatit ' CONCORD, N. H., Friday Oct. B.—The last sickness of Ex-President Pierce commenced ilia mild form abOut five weeks - since while he was stopping at his cottage at Little.. Boar's Head, at. Hampton Eeach. For several months . before his health . had: been unusually good, he havingriseia froth his' severe sickness of last FallandAhe early .Win ter with apparently renewed health andvigor: When. his • last attack.came on at the beich it was not at first : consid ered to , be- —dangerousillness, but he grew werse rapidly,, and in: a few dayS .was taken to his home in Concord. HIS family physician; IDr. - Oharlei - P-;:Gage,=of:this-city, was immediately summoned, and he found the ex-PreSident suffering fromandoraenal dropsy, attended with. alartmng symptoms. Prompt treatment relieved the patienttemporarily,but in a tew days he was agatirattaaked in a simi lar manner. About two weeks sinee.hiccougha set in seriously and continuctLat intervals tor about ten days. The dropsical difficulty had been again relieved, but when it set in the third tune the system did not seenvto l respond to diuretic medicines. This plillsicalcondition, - . joined with inability to take much nourish ment, caused Mr. Pierce to commence sinking, and he continued to fail gradually until death.' He was conscious to the lastand had sufficient strength to converse up to witlintwo hours of his decease. ' . . When his physician made' his first' visit to him in his last sickness he remarked : "Doc tor, what do you think ~of My case?" The reply was : "I think your symptoms are very grave ones." The General added.: "I think so myself, and I am convinced. that I shall not recover." At times duringhis- skirl:less he suf fered from the hiccoughs and neuralgic pains in his shoulder and hip. Finally these.pains concentrated about the heart. At other rimes he was calm and. comfortable. He conversed frequently during his sickness upon, public and national matters, and: expressed a deep interest in and anxiety for the welfare ofthe country. He talked freely of the. public men with whom he had been associated in political life, ands poke personally of his former Cabinet members and of many other statesmen and representative men in different parts of the country. As death approached his waning strength did not perm - M.lnm. to converse, bUt. to all appearance his bodily pain had left him. He lay quietly upon his bed, a calm, happy and resigned expression Stlifikilllg his counte nance. At about live o'clock he looked around the room for the- last time, his eyes resting for a moment upon those in attendance upon him, and then, as calmly and sweetly as a child would sink to rest, he closed his eyes in his laA sleep and paSsed 'away. He died at the residence of Mr.. 'Willard Williams, on Main street, where he had. Made 'his home, while in Concord; for many years past. • The family with whom he boarded and a host of sympathizing neighbors and friends did everything possible for his comfort and happiness during his sickness. Among those who were frequently at his bedside were Hon. .losiah Minot, his fernier law partner, and.for many years past his intimate friend and busi ness adviser, and Mr. John McNeil, of Con cord, one hitt nephews, in whoM he took a particular, interest. • President Rierce formerly attended the South Congregational Church In Concord, but a few years since he joined St. Paul's Episco pal Church, of which he was a communicant. He left a handsome property, which, it is un derstood, is devised by will. diatIVISEMENTS. —At bho .A.cademy of Music, this evening, 211artha will be produced by the Prepa-Rosa Troupe.
