A BATCH OF LIBEL SurTs.-The personalities

number of libel suits, some of which, if they ever

most amusing character. Our amiable cotempO
raries of The Tribune are doing the most extensive
business in this way. Greeley has two suits
against Western journals-one of which charged
him with taking Aariposa stock as bride for
supporting Fremont and the other with accept
ing bride of one thousand dollars for aiding in
the passage Of the Des Moines Navigation bill
Greeley is also sued by Mr.. Counsellor Bustesd
who has been charged in the Tribune with 'gaTot-
ing" a certain paper in Court Then we have
an intense excitement in the theatrical world ia
relation to the libel suit brought by Seymour, "a
theatrical critic, against Burton, manager, said
Burton charging the aforesaid Seymour with ve

For the Republican


Mr.. EpiroR: There seems to be a little
misunderstanding between yourself and the
Local Editor of the Democrat, in relation to
the article over the signature of FRANK, -
in your paper of the 10Th inst, which it is
proper for me to rectify. In your COM
ments on that article, you said it was ..in-
tended to honor the columns of the M c.,
Democrat" which as the M. S. showed
looked to be the case; but the facts are as
follows: the communication was not in
tendeded for the Democrat; nor was it of.
fered for publication in that paper. When
| wrote the heading, through mistake ]
wrote it ''For the Democrat" but on ex.
animation | perceived the mistake, and
scratched ont the word democrat" and
inserted Republican" in its stead.
| should have remarked this at the time
of handing it to you, but neglected it.
FRANK.

Shocking Murder in Greene County.

We learn from the Bloomington Repub-
llcan that man named Joshua Holding,
ofParis, Illinois, was deliberately shot in
the road, near Jonesborough, Greene coun-
ty, on Tuesday Of last week, by man,
name unknown, who was accompanying
him from Bloomington to Bloomfield
The ball entered the back of his head, and
penetrated clear through the brain, coming
out at the forehead. 1t appears that both
Mr.. Holding and the murderer arrived al
Bloomington on the cars on Monday Mr.
II. inquired the road to Bloomfield, and, as
there was no conveyance, he, accompanied
by his murderer, who said he was going
to Stanford, which lies on the same road
started at about A o'clock Monday after
noon, staying all night in the country about
five miles from Bloomington, proceeding
ON their journey next morning. When they
arrived near Jonesborough Mr.. Holding
was shot down as stated, and his pockets
rlfied of all their contents, but the amount
of money he had with him is unknown
The murderer fled to the woods, and as vet
has not been arrested, although several per-
sons started in pursuit as soon as descrip-
ton of the culprit was obtained.

Gen. Cass.

The Washington Correspondent of tbs
New York Tribune says that of late Gen.
Cass has become very downcast. He again
despairs of the Republic. His Official ca
reer is drawing near close, and the 4th Of
March will consign him to hopeless politi.
cal exile, with all the discomfort of unsat-
is6ed ambition. After long public life,
he has little to look back upon in this en-
forced retirement that will furnish consola-
ton, or even soothe the paDgs of morbid
disappointment. The past is only record
of trucking subserviency, unredeemed by
one noble effort to vindicate the sentiments
of people who trusted only to be betray-
ed He expected an Office under the in
coming Administration, and sought it as a
solace for the deliberate condemnation Of
his own State. For time the prospect
appeared encouraging, and the fact only en-
bitters the modification which is no longer
concealed. ~

The results in all the Counties which
have held elections so far indicate that the
Democrats and Know Nothings have Goa
lesced, and sinking difference of principle
have gone in for the spoils. Neither have
gained any strength since last fall, but by
coalition they are enabled to carry several
towns that went for Fremont. There could
be no better evidence of their weakness than
this abandonment by beth factions of the
principles they protested to uphold, and
their fusion with those whom they have pro-
fesscd to regard as the enemies of Civil Lib
erty And there could be no better evil
dence of the enduring strength of Republi-
canism than its triumph in several Counties
over both combined.

Fatal Accident.

We learn from the Peru Sentinel that O
shocking accident occurred at that place on
Friday, the 9th inst. A young man nam
ed George Marquis, aged about twenty
years, hadbcen going to school at Rich
mond, aud on the day named he, with a
sister was returning on the Peru and Indi-
annapolis Railroad on visit to his parents
in Miami county. He placed his sister in
an omnibus to go to the hotel, while he
started down the track, for the purpose OF
procuring horse and buggy from his aunt,
who lives short distance below the town,
intending to return home that night. He
had gone but short distance when he
heard train coming, and in the dark and
his confusion as to which track it was on,
got in front of the P. and /. train, which
was backing down to the machine shop, the
wheels passing over the leg and thigh, as
though the leg had been drawn up, the en-
tire limb, into the hip, being horribly
chrushed and lascerated. The other leg, at
the ANGLE, was also chrushed but not cut.
He retained his consciousness and spoke of
the melancholy affair, but died in the course
of few hours. The feelings of the sister
and parents under such agonizing circum-
stances may be imagined but not describ-
ed. -

Congress on the Bogus Laws Of Kansas.
Every friend of Free Kansas. says the
Chicago Tribune. Of the Goth, must feel
highly gratified at the splendid vote cast
in the House of Representatives for the
'.relicf of the people of Kansas The
bill was introduced by Grow of Penn
1t sets forth that the sShawnee Legisla-
Eure' of Kansas was forced upon the peo-
pie by non-residents, in violation of the
organic law of the Territory, and having
thus usurped the Legislative power, it en-
acted cruel, oppressive and umconstitution-
al laws. The bill then proceeds to repeal
all rules and regulations purporting to be
laws adopted at Shawnee Mission by body
of men claiming to be the Legislature,
and declaring invalid all acts and proceed
ings of that assembly; likewise providing
for the new election of members of the
Legislature, and pains and penalties for IL
legal voting and unlawful interference with
the rights of voters.
In other words, Grows bin wipes out
the whole batch of 1Shawnee Mission
laws" and provides legislation. This
wholesome and radical bill received the
splendid vote of TWENTY majority, in a
House in which the Republicans proper are
six or eight voteSin the minority. Thus
proving the justice of the cause, and the
truth of all their allegations concerning the
wrongs and cruelties inflicted upon the Free
men of Kansas, by the- Black Democracy.
Totheir eternal disgrace and shame, Allen,
Harris and Morrison, from this State, vo-
ted to sustain the spurious and cruel laws
passed by the usurping ruffians! Would
to Heaven! these bad men had the people of
either of the four northern Districts to set
tie with, for giving those monstrous votes.
They would never repeat the offence. But
the day will soon come, when the people of
their own districts will spurn and cast out
such servile wretches from their favor and
service forever.

The Ex-Auditor, Mr.. Talbot, says the
Indianapolis daily Journal fthe 18th inst,
who allowed couple of scoundrels to cheat
him out of large amount of State bonds,
procured An injunction some days ago,
stopping the transfer of these bonds upon
the States books to the purchasers. A
bout the same time the purchasers applied
for mandamus, to Judge Wallace of the
Common Pleas Court, to compel the Agent
to make the transfer. The Court decided
in the latter case, (the former is still unde-
cided but involves exactly the same ques-
tons, (, that these bonds are not negotiable
paper, and could not pass by mere delivery.
Consequently. the purchaser had to look to
the validity of the title Of the vendor, and
assure himself that they were legally in his
hands. He had to buy such paper as be
would buy horse, subject to the claims of
q legal owner on it. The bonds are made
by law transferable only on the States
books. The purchasers knew this, and
the bonds told on their face that they be-
longed to the Auditor Of the State of Indi-
ana. 1t was thus made the purchaser 5
business to find out if Mr.. Whcelock, who
offered them for sale, had procured their
proper transfer, and the perfecting his title

Doctor,s will Disagree.

Our old friends of the New Albany
Ledger and Harrison Democrat, both DEM
ocratic sheets, disagree in regard to the
propriety of the enactment of a law in this
State for the protection of wild game du-
ring The breeding season. The latter is in
favor of the largest liberty, the former
takes the other view of the matter. We
are disposed to coincide with the Ledger IS
views. Wild game, including fish, ought
to be protected from the wanton and mis-
chievous destruction of ignorant and wick
ed marauders from adjoining States, who
come into our borders, because we haven
law to prevent them, and kill off The deer
and wild fowl, during the breeding season,
for mere pastime. 1t should be stopped,
Other States have game laws. Because
England has hateful and asistocratical
game law, it is no reason we should go to
the other extreme. 81

California Senators.

BRoDERIcK and GwINS, remarks the Chi
cago Tribune, have been elected L. s. Sen
ators from California. They are both
Democrats, but ON opposite sides of the
Slave question. BRoDERIcK, who has OBJ
tanned the long term, has always ranked in
California as Free Soil Democrat, while
GwISS is badly Pro- Slavery. The Anti
Slavery cause has gained in this election
FREDERICK will favor the admission of Kan
sas as Free State. Hestood side by side
with Col. FREMoSr against introducing
Slavery into California Mr.. b. is origi-
nally from New York, where he belonged
to the Soft Shells, or Free Sod wing of the
Democracy of the Empire State.
WELLER, whose place he will take is a
pro-slavery demagogue ofthe meanest sort.
He has received his political quietus, and he
richly deserves..it, for his base and truculent
conduct in the Senate.
1t is stated that BRoDERIcK had it in his
power to defeat the reelection of GwISN,
but that he consented to it on the express
condition that GwrNN should yield all claim
to any influence in the federal appointments.
GwINS has published letter, in which he
states that he shall not interfere in the dis
pensation of executive favors. His teeth
has been plucked out so he cannot bite.

A star correspondent Of the II: c. DEM

of z. s. Brooks, of s. G. The editor OF
that sheet also extracts an article from an
exchange,-whose- editor has heart as
soft as his head. transferring the COM
ments of the Republicans upon Brooks
death as calunnaous,-which he comments
to the careful pcrusGl of Republicans who
have so shamefully abused Mr.. Brooks,
even after his DEATH Neither of these
editors seem able to comprehend that truth
is not abuse. We have seen nothing in
the Republican papers on this subject that
was not strictly true.

For the Republican


Mr.. EDITOR: The last Der9ocrat, con-
tains an article, headed "a Black RepuJli-
can Sold" over which, no doubt, there
has been considerable merriment. Now
that the advantages of laugh has been
enjoyed and kind of political triumph
has been exulted over, it may as we'll, be
known that the part that DIR. r. 1.-THE
Black Republican, is reported to have
taken in the affair, is almost wholly false.
He spoke to ".Sombo'' but two or three
times during the evening, and did not at
tach any value, whatever, to his preten-
sions.
Fifteen times, without the shadow of
truth, the DR.. is made to address Sambo.
OF course Sambo did not reply to DIR. r.
as reported; and the statement that when
DIR. r. had retired, the crowd sbura into a
loud laugh at the Ohiianthropic Doctor err
pense," is a pure falsehood. The entire
article is full of untruths, or distorted facts.

As we expected, Gov. Geary cannot 60
the Black Democratic figure in Kansas,
and is consequently getting exceedingly
unpopular with that party; while the Free
State party are rallying around him, for
the protection he affords them, by driving
out the pro-slavery villains that have been
sent there by li5erty-loring Democrats to
rob and murder the peaceable inhabitants
of the territory; such of them at least as
favor the cause of freedom. Their friends
and allies in this State, and elsewhere,
cannot, by the cry of 'abolitionists," and
appealing to party ties, hide these facts
from the honest portion of their party
much longer. The light ,riH break in up
on them, and when they find how they have
been hoodwinked and deceived by their
leaders, they will bring them to a terrible
reckoning.
The following extract from recent let
ter of the Kansas correspondent of the
Missouri Republican. violent pro-slavery
sheet, gives us little insight into the way
things are beginning to work in that Terri
tory.
ssThe Governor has had the misfortune
to lose the confidence of the Democratic
party. He is charged with being inimical
to the Law and Order party, and with
working insidiously with the Black Repub
licans. He FIRST fell out with the Conven-
ton, afterwards disagreed with the Legisls-
tive Assembly. He vetoed the first bill of
the Legislature, and it was afterwards
passed over his head, with only one dis
senting vote in zach House"
1t will not take long if he administers
Justice, and acts impartially, for Geary to
become as odieus with the Democracy of
Kansas as Reeder did, and their brethren
in this quarter will coincide with them and
