A Word in season to our Friends.

The people in the free States, says the Washing
ton Republic, excited by the aspect Of the Kansas
case, are making .incessant calls upon their
Representatives for copies of speeches upon poiti-
cal topics. This is cool sign, but the people
should rccoIcct that their Representatives are
obliged to buy all the speeches they circulate, AMI
although speech costs but litte the great num-
bers called for costs great deal. In addition to
the labor of directing and franking, the Republican
members are wiling to pay money literally for the
circulation of political documents, ant many OF
them really do pay more in that way than they can
afford to pay.
Ifyou want speeches, and arc unable to pay for
them, your Representatives will furnish them cheer
fully. But let those who pay, do SO; and let
those who can, send money not only for the speech
cs they want for themselves but for speeches to be
furnished gratuitousy to Others. By little con
cert of action, and by contribution too small to
be felt if is only made sufficiently general, the
hands of your Representatives will be strengthened
for good work.
Win our Republican exchanges notice this sug-
gestionl

The New York Courier, by way Of warning the
Democratic members of Congress from the free
States, publishes list of those who voted for the
Nebraska bill, and shows TIE melancholy smallncss
of those who survived that vote, so far re-elcc-
tons to Congress are concerned.
At tho hazrd of exhibiting candor which may
be thought to be disqualification in the editor of
political paper, says the Washington Republic. We
feel bound to say rhat this is not fair statement
point moral and adon tale, by assigning to
rogucs miserable or an untimely end. In actual
life, we observe that mysterious Providence a.
wards to villainy sometimes a long, and not unfrc
qucnty, an uninterrupted success Undoubtedly,
the great bulk of the Northern members Of Con
gross who voted for tho Nebraska bill, failed OF
reelection. But, in the first place. very many of
them were sorry scim?s, who had been kept in
Congress as long as they expected to be under any
circumstances and co1d afford vote for :hc bill
at cheap rates. And furthermore, and this is the
material portion Of their history which the New
York C,arier omits, they were muni6ccntiy paid
for the loss Of their seats Ia loss, in many cases, on
IL noninal,) by rich Offices for themselves and
their relations and BY still riche participation in
Jobs and contracts
No. We clnnot, with truth, urge the Nebraska
case as proof that Northern members lose anything
by selling out their constituents Very many OF
them did exceedingly web by il in this instance
There is nothing in that example 10 deter certain

Bloody ARRAY in an'IudianapoIis Drink.


On Saturday night, after IL o'clocl
(near Sunday morning.) two Irishmen
namel Gallagher and--went into tn,
drinking saloon Of Buschcr & Hohl, oil
East Washington street. indianapolis, anc
being half drunk themselves soon got into
a quarrel with the persons drinking there
One Of the Irishmcn named Gallagher wa.
talking boisterously to man named Ca
hill, when Robert Castillo intertered, by say
ing to Gallagher that he must not quarrel
with Cahill, and must not call him liar
whcreupon Gallagher immediately drew q
revolver and the firing commenced. Boil
Irishmcn drew revolvers and used them
Not less than six or eight shots were fired
the smoke was so thick that nothing could
be seen in the room, and the drinkers so
frightened and confused that both the
lrishmcn escaped. Robert Castillo was
shot in several places and died on Sunday
morning. Christian Hohl, ono Of the pro-
prictors of the saloon was also shot. He
is not expected to recover, but was still
alive on Monday night.
Gallagher has been arrested and is now
IN jail at Indianapolis, but his compan-
ion has escaped. In the confusion caus-
cd by the excitement. the smoke and
whiskey, nobody seems to know who he
is
The bullet marks in the saloon show
that the pistols must have been heavily
charged. a thick piece of dry poplar
board; used as door bar, had smoth hole
bored through it. The room is small, and
it is strange that of so many persons in SC
small a place that only two were hurt by
the pistols shot.
There was an excited state of feeling al
Indianapolis on Sunday and Monday
against the murdercrs, and lynch law was
talked about for Gallagher. A coroner's
jury is now investigating the case Gin.

In this statement we include the packing at this

cannot be much under or over the whole amount
which will be packed.
The whole number packed at all the places re
ported last wear was lelS.476, and the previous
year 2,459,512. The whole number OF places re-
ported last year one hundred and ninety. 1t is
pretty clear that the ratio ofincreasc will not he

Hog, at nearly all the places heard from. and II
general thing. except in the section named, the
yield of lard has been that of last wear There
can he no doubt th,t there has been an increase in
weight, as compared with last year, but what the
exact increase is. cannot say until our returns

than e cent, or overt p cent.

Of its superior merit, or because of its

verse is true, in the latter respect. at least,

never dare to look an honest man in the

thus hold out false inducements to the pub

Those County Officers who persist in
making the lille Democrat the official pa

ton is considerably less than our paper.
rs well as another equally important ono,
that they charge so per cent more for all
the legal advertisements than we have,
over and over again, proposed to publish
them for, will have to answer to the peo-

Of their pecuniary interests. When Off
GERS permit their politics to influence them

they are not fit for the places they fill.

To look on death and fear il not
