Surgical Operation OIL senator Sumner.
The Boston Advertiser publishes the fol-
lowing extract Of a letter from gentleman
of high character in Paris to friend Of
Senator Sumner, dated June 18th:
"Thc opinion of both physi-
clans, approved by DR.. George Hayard, Of
Boston, was in favor Of cauterisation of the
spine, in order to produce counter-irritation,
and in this your friend DR.. Brown-Sequard,
whose speciality is the nervous and cerebrall
system, fully concurrcd. He made several
careful examinations, and camo to the con-
clusion that there was still congestion Of the
tinteguments Of the brain, as we'll as other
abnormal conditions. When the fact wa.
announced TO Mr.. Sumner, and the exac
process explained of burning the neck and
back with irons at white heat, he at once
said "Try i. without delay--in any form
and to any extent"
"The operation was performed by DR.
Brown-Scquard, who wished Mr.. Sumner tc
inhale chloriform. This be declined, and
refusing all anodynes, went through tho
painful process without word or vince
It has been repeated since, and will be agail
to-day for the ffth time."

MEANNEss UNPAnALLELED.-Last fall
the clique of Lccompton locofocos who con-
troll the Messenger establishment, tried TO
prevent the nomination Of Gen. Boil for the
Office of Probate Judge Of this county
Failing in this they tried to defeat his cleo
tion, and here too they failed. Then they
set to work to spite Judge Bell by getting
his son Frank Bell removed from the office
Of Route Mail Agent on tho G. d T. Rail
road. As Lecompton was the password to
favor at Washington, this miserable clique
succeeded in obtaining an appointment for
Thomas Pinkerton, one Of their kidney, now
turnkey of Sandusky county. Mr.. Pinker-
ton either thought the trick too mean, or
else having his eye on a better teat, recant-
ed and refused to accept the appointment
when the papcrs came to hand. Pinker-
tons commission was returned TO the depart
ment with the request that James R. Fran
cisco, (the clique's candidate for Probate
Judge,) Of Ballyile township, be appointed.
In due time the second set Of papers came
along. Francisco of course accepted, and
is now on the road.
This is about tho lowest, meanest act this
Buchanan administration could be guilty Of.
Frank Bell was not removed because Of his
neglect Of business or unftucss for Office,
but because his father, Judge Bell, who has
been democrat for the 60 years of his life
time, would not be led round BY the nose,
by the Messenger Lecomptonites.
It's none Of our funeral, and they may
say--hands of. But when we see com,
petenl faithful officers removed because they
dare have an opinion Of their own, and such
an one as j. R. Francisco appoiated, we il
common with the people say--why do ye
soi The Lceomptonites here are jubilanl
over this coniempsible thimble-riggipg act

-Four more Free state wen murdered.

1t is strange, passing strange, that the
citizens of Kansas have so long permitted
Hamilton and his gang of murdercrs to red
den the soil Of that Territory with the blood
of Free State men. The cold blooded as
sassinations in the vicinity of Fort Scott
cry aloud for vengeance, and later intelli-
.gence from Southern Kansas is that on the
night of tho lIth of June, four more Free
State men were killed on the Little Usage,
by the band Of Missouri desperadoes under
the lead Of Hamilton, Titus, and Brockway.
The men killed were peaceablc farmers,
named Andrews, Allen, Thompson, and
one, name not learned. Montgomery had
previously advised them to leave, and had
pointed out their danger, but they said
they did notmeddle in affrays, and the Mis-
sourians would not molest them. Mont.
gomery and his force started in pursuit o.
the murdercrs as soon as tho news Of thi:
fresh outrage reached him, and it is to b
hoped he may come up with and admins
ter justice TO the rufians, - Leader.

A PARTIzAN ADMIMyTaATToN.

A year or two since Brig. Gen. Pugh, who
occupies seat in the Senate Of the United
States, declared openly that he represented
tho democratic party of Ohio in that body
This infamous declaration expresses the
character of this administration. 1t makes
no pretence to be an administration for the
people Of tho United States, but for the
democratic party only. During its contin-
uance NO measure Of general good has re-
ccived tho slightest attention, but tho entire
energies of Mr. Buchanan and his cabinet
have been directed to the end of keeping the
democratic party together, and especially
Of preventing a secession of its southern sup
porters. The northern wing of the party is
not thought to need any attention. The
northern democracy are considered reliable
for whatever dirty work the interest of the
party may seem to demand. So far indeed
has this idea, that the administration is that
Of the party and not Of the people proceed
ed, that the opposite idea of the duty of a
President to seek the public welfare, has
absolutely disappeared. We venture to say
there is not democratic officer from the
President down, who would not scout the
notion that he holds Office for any other pur-
pose than to fill his own pockets and pro-
mote the interests of the democratic party.
An amusing illustration of this feeling has
been given during the lato session of Cong
ress. Contrary to all former precedent no
member Of the opposition has been invited
to the Presidents dinner parties. This was
precisely like the spitcful old woman who
occupies tho Presidential chair. But it
shows what ideas rule at tho White House.
1t is the first duty of every man to be a
democrat, and democrat of the Buchanan
school. Will the days when President
was a President of the people and not Of a
party ever return? Is it possible to elect
men to Congress or to any Office who will
be any thing else but partizans and selfseek-
ers? Is the nation sunk so far in the
slough of political corruption that nothing
can redeem III 1t is our firm belief that
redemption as possible. Such has been the
nastiness of politics, that decent men could
not be induced to take nomination.
Hence tho great mass Of offices have been
filed with fools and knaves. When the
people resolve to have an administration for
themselves, honest men may be found to
servo them.
We hope the dawn of better days is ap-
preaching.

Almost every day our Marshal picks up

Then these worthless fellows might be
made to pay for their board at the Jail.
