CRIEE AMONG rHH SAs-NIcHrs. The junior
organ Of Magruder and Buchanan, In his yester.
days issue, charges ali the crime committed IN
Washington on the American party. This doughty
and Uirttos editor seems TO have lost his memory.

have heard that Mr.. Herbert, now on trial for the
murder of Keating, IL not only Democrat, but .

who Is alleged 70 have killed Captain Bell ON the
4th of July, ID Democrat, and 10 now in connne-
ment to answer to the charge.
And finally, Magraw, who assaulted VIM. Hope

of South Carolina.
Here then we have formidable list OF breaches
of the peace, to say nothing of several murders,
all committed since the LIST of December by mem
bers of the Democratic party.
To this we might add, IL we had time, hundred
or two more, from Police records--all committed
by Buchanan Democrats Of the straitest sect. But
enough for the present. When the fithless
phantom has digested this list, We will give him
another. In the meantime, we advise him to be
careful how he charges his opponents with the
commission of crimes, lest it provoke those oppo-
nents to make q full disclosure Of the misdeeds Of
his own friends and followers.
