SPAIN FOR SITXY YEARS.
Queen Isabella, a child of three
yea s, succeeded to the Spanish
throne in 1833, her father (Ferdi-
nand VII) having abolished the sa-
lic law which forbade female suc-
cess-ion to the crown. Her father's
brother, Don Carlos, the next male
lieir, protested and organized the
first Carlist rebellion. This civil!
war, stubbornly and ferociously
fought, lasted until 1839, when the
Basque provinces surrendered, and
"Charles V" abdicated in favor of
his son, Don Carlos.
In 1840 the queen regent, Chris-
tina, was driven from the country
by a military revolution, and ('.en
Esparlero, who had beaten Don
Carlos, became regent.
In 1843 another revolution drove
Espartero out anil brought Christina
back. Isabella was declared "of
age" and married to her cousin,
Francis d'Assissi, and her sister Ma-
ria to Montpensier, heir to the
F rench throne.
In 1854 a military insurrecti
under Gen. O'Donnell forced the
restoration of the constitution of '37
In 1856 Madrid revolted and the
kingdom was declared in a stale
of seige.
In i860 the second Carlist war
broke out. It was suppressed, and
the claimant died, being succeeded
by his brother, Dnn Juan.
Insurrections were too numerous
to mention between '65 and '68.
They were each suppressed, but one
was always treading on the heels of
another.
In September, '68, a military revo-
lution against the throne, headed by
Prim and Serrano, was successful,
and Isabella fleil to France with her
mother and children.
Several republican insurrections
followed rapidly against military
rule, which were suppressed with
bloodshed and cruelty.
A government by regency, with
Serrano as regent, was established
on June 15th, '69.
On Nov. 16, 1870, Amadeus, a
younger brother of Victor Emman-
uel, was elected king. He reigned
until Feb. 11, '73, resigning.
In 1872 a third Carlist war broke
out in favor of Don Carlos (III) son
of Don Juan, proclaimed "King
Charles VII," which gave Spain four
years of the bloodiest and most dev-
astating civil war.
June 18, '73 the cortes, (Spanish
parliament), proclaimed a republic,
and Pi y Margall was chosen presi-
dent.
July 9th Salmeron succeeded M ar-
gall, and on Sept. 7 Castelar suc-
ceeded Salmeron.

Alfonso, son of Isabella, was pro-

March 6, '76 Don Carlos fled to
France, and the kingdom, torn by
ten years of civil wars within, had a
few weeksof peace, until the Basque
provinces revolted in April.

the 5th inst As an original anti-fu-
sionist who has fought fusion
since it was inaugurated in this
state by Senator Butler, in 1894, and
for a long time single handed and
alone, I was made happy by what
was done and what I learned. Sen-
ator Butler was present, accompan-
ied by three congressmen, to aid us
with his advice, but it was ignored.
His especial object was to persuade
the committee to call the state con-
vention for May 25th, the date al-
ready set for the Democratic state
vention, in order that there might
be unlimited opportunity for disk*
and trading, but the committee, by
a vote of 16 to 4, named May 17th
instead. This puts the meeting of
our convention eight days in ad-
vance of the Democratic conven-
tion. One of his friends in the
committee, in Mr. Butler's presence,
proposed that the committee en-
dorse the Jones-Towne-Butler "trip-
artite address" on fusion, but it met
with no second and was hastily
withdrawn. For some time I have
noticed the growing dissatisfaction
of our party in this state over our
wretched condition growing out of
fusion, and the steadily unceasia*
determination to get back into the
middle of the road is rapidly grow-
ing now. I will not undertake to
predict what the state convention
will do, but it certainly will not
hastily enter into entangling alli-
ances with any party. Populism
has been sleeping, but it is not dead,
and North Carolina will be re
deemed.—George E. Boggs.
The Populist state committee of
North Carolina met a few days ago
to fix date for state convention. The
