V) ttiitivsiy .iu.iUeiniml's' behalf to
lottiortotho Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican in! which he substantially
asserts that tho1, Republican party1 is
on' the brink of dissolution from
which it can be saved only by the
most wholesome reforms. He asserts
that its peril comesnot from its own
fault, hut from tho misconduct of
men who have held high positions in !
it. It must, hp says, at once explic-
itly declare against a third term, and
thus relieve the publio mind pf a
painful apprehension, and put to rest
at once, and forever a fear which does
more than ought else to alionate the
people from tho party. It ought to
remove many office-holders, high and
low, and enpocially some of the high
er officers, whose management has
become offensive to tho people, find
whose conduct both in thoir depart
ments and in general affairs make
them and the party odious. It must
adopt a .conciliatory and firm policy
in Southern affairs, avoiding irritat
ing Federal interference,' and taking
off tlio heavy hand of Government.
Eijual rights of the blacks must be
defended, but unconstitutional acts
and measures of doubtful constitu
tionality ought to be avoided. Pub
lic opinion of the North must not be
offended by violent acts or languago
toward the South.
All this array of abuses wliich he
cites have boon concocted and up
held by tho Republican party through
all thephazes of . its existence, and
as it is only' now perceiving the ne
cessity of a reformation, since the
late elections thundered forth the
people's disapproval, it is scarcely
possible that the voters of the country
will be hoodwinked by any profes
sions of reformation and, promises of
better behaviour which that partv
may be frightened into-making. Its
whole career has been marked by a
system of abuses and corruption such
as no party ever exhibited before,
and the outraged people have decreed
its fate and doomed it to oblivion.
It is already a reeking, festering car
cass, and 'is only awaiting its final
burial m the year when we will cele
brate the One Hundredth Anniver
sary of our National Independence.

We vesterday announced the es

McLane and James Murphy. The
last two named, having escaped to
gether it appears that immediately
after escaping thoy took to the .water
and followed up JV1U1 Creek for sev
eral miles to avoid being tracked.
After leaving the creelt they started
aeross the prairie and were seen near
the liickey place, by Mr. Jno. bhruni,
who was hunting in that locality ; a
short time afterwards they were seen
passing through Shrum's farm, and
making toward tho head of Howell
Prairie. Yesterday morning Mr.
John Orchard, who lives about six
miles east of Marion, went out to
feed his stock, and as ho was throw
ing hay from the mow, he was start
led by a yell coming from under the
hay in wliich he last stuck his fork.
Upon further investigation it was
found that two men hud taken refuge
in the hay, one pf which tlie fork had
penetratoc! to tho depth of about two
inches. . i Thoy claimed to have been
discharged from a steamboat lying at
Salem, and had started for Albany
to hunt work, but having drank rath
er freely had crawled in there to
sleep off the effects, and begged to
be allowed to remain a short time.
Mr'. Orchard went to the house", and
nofifyed his sous, I'James and
Milton, who armed themselves and
returned tor tue purppse pi investi
gating 'matters still further. They
tms time aiscpvered that the men
were clpthed in the garb of cpnvicts,
and after retiring a shprt distance
for copsultation, thd striped-clothed
gentlemen were seen to rush from the
barn through an ppening caused by a
plank being pff. ' Mr. Orchard .and
his twp sphs gave chase, and after
coming within shooting distance,
raised. ,, their guns and cried halt.
This had the effect of stopping the
vagrants, who immediately sat down
anil awaited the coming of their cap
tors. On. approaching one pf the
cohvictsremarked thatitlooked"d d
strange that a man had to be stop
ped on the highway." Mr. Orchard
told him that the clothes he had on
looked rather suspicious, and , he
would like him to explain to his satis
faction how he came by them. The
prisoners related Jthat on their .way
from Salem they had met two con
victs and had traded clothes, making
considerable by the trade. This was
not satisfactory to Mr. Orchard, who
insisted on the convicts returning.
This they at first refused to do, stat
ing that they wished to be let alone.
and that they were very anxious to
get to Jefferson, where they expected
work. But thoy were toid that if
they were found to be all right they
would be well paid for their time and
sent to o enerson on tho cars. They
wero then marched to Marion, where
they were guarded until the after
noon train, brought them to Salem,
when they were handed over to the
proper authorities, Mr. Orchard re
ceiving the offered reward of 100.

A man on Long1 Island, famous fyr
his hogs, was asked what was tho
secret of bis success. "I always
choose a good natured pig. Those
that Tryhen they eat are constantly
running from one trough to another
and . knocking their snouts against
the next pig I sell to my neighbors,
who don't know hettpr than to buy
such troublesome animals, while my
contentod pigs get fat." ,
Here's how the eminently civilized
"makers" of Copiel county, Missis
sippi, do things : They have formed a
co-laborers union, and its chief rule
prevents members from working for
s than three-fourths of the cron,
Any one violating this rule is to be
strapped across a log and receive
three hundred lashes, laid on with a
hand-saw.'
Moke Southern Outrages, A
planter living 10 miles south of Mem
phis, -was recently murdered in his
field by two negroes. He was found
with u portion of his head shot off
and a large hole through his breast.
Lemme see : was there any account
of the above in the Bulletin! Guess
not, because it couldn't be charged
to the White Leaguers.
