A Chicago Irishman Arrested Under
the Black Lnws--He Is held asa Fu-
Eiiive siavei
From the oinsy, ni, Timss, Nov q5th)
This week man Of dark complexion,
straight black hair, black whiskers and
moustache, with tho characteristic Irish
brouge was arrested and brought TO Olney
or the enormous charge Of being fugitive
slave. His captors took him 70 the jail for
the purpose ofsecuring him, but Fred Johns
did NOT feel safe in putting him in the
lookup without some better authority than
his captors were able to produce and they
were reduced 10 the Inconvenience Of
keeping personal watch over him, which
created some little curiosity among the
citizens 10 know something Of the fellow,
concerning his history. In conversation
with him, he informed Us that he was a
native Of Ilreund, and had been twelve
years in America, and the last year he
had been in Chicago He gave his name
as Thomas Leary. Hon. NJ. O'Kean was
present, and gave il ns his opinion that he
was an Irishman Of inferior intelligence.
We endeavored to prevail upon his cap
tors to releose him, when they, in de-
cisive manner, gave us to understand that
when they received the reward that they
claimed was offered for his apprehension
they would do so. Seeing their deter.
mination to run him off, a petition was
drawn up praying Hon. A. Kitchen for a
writ OF habess corpus, which was duly
served, but up TO the present writing has
not been returned.
We have no disposition 20 interfere
with the Institution Of fslavery where il ex
lists; but when 20 this, that men must b,
hunted down In the free State of Illinois
II is high time that the people rise in the
majesty Of their strength, and say tina
such things shall not be done; and for ont
we are sorry that our country has within
her borders one man so stepped in mora
degradation as to voluntarily attempt 4
arrest man because he happened to b'
little dark, and was not blessed with a.
ordinary degree Of intelligence, to carr
him into perpetual bondage.

OF the execution, says:
"Almost the first person ! met in the

whether itwould be most proper to be in

Ashley was with Marshal Donaldson, Of
Kansas notoriety, and the conjunction
was rather rich. Donaldson, however,

Certainly We can, if We are determin-

pre - many hralnless logs and tlmld pol

ways we cannot win.
4. We cannot win by abusing those

who are not yet disposed 20 enter hearth
ily and vigorously into tho Republican
party. A courteous and prudent policy,
a concession ofhonest puTpoaes and aims,
aud generous treatment OF the Fillmore
men OF 1880 will do much towards secur-
ing their corporation in 1860.
2. We cannot win by abandoning the
essential doctrines the Repubican par
", or by ignoring tho questions which
grow out OF the design Of the South 20 ex-
tond Slavery. II tho formation Of the
Republicans party was a necessity in 1906
then its maintenance now Is necessity,
for never has tho policy Of Southern poll
tioians been more positive than during the
last tewyeaD. Abandoning the doctrine
ofrpopular sovereignty" they are about
20 press upon Congress and the country
the necessity ofa slave code for thelteF-
ritoTies. I n.r.a.
B. We cannot win by taking eandi-
date who fails substantially aud thorough
y 20 represent the principles Of the Re
publican party, for wo cannot live for
moment while under tho necessity of
making explanations. We may have no
particular choice among number ofemi-
nent defenders of our cause, but our can

tive ityou please, but thoroughly imbued

Putting his Foot In "a.

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Journal tells the following
Recently, at the grand ball Of one of the
Cabinet, an actress was among the company,
a lady who deservedly enjoys high posi-
ton OF responsibility. "Do you know Miss
--?" enquired Mr.. G.. "Oh yes, By repu-
tation saw her play the other night one
Of her leading characters" This remark
was overheard, and Of course, it was sooD
whispered that the actress was among the
crowd, and many eyes were directed to a
survey of her person. Subsequently, a
friend Of Mr.. G. took occasion to remind him,
in an intended private way, that the men
tioning of the lady's profession was not in
accordance with etiquette; that she was not
there AS an actre 8, but guest. His friend
added "To convince you Of your improprie-
ty, you might as we'll say that whisky
bought at BIS was first rate article, and
that be keeps good cigars" Unfortunately
he spoke too loud, and in the wrong part OF
the saloon, for near him, within Distinct hear
ing distance. was the daughter OF the mer-
chant. She turned aside, and close OBJ.
server might have seen flush upon her cheek
little darker than it wore before she over
heard the conversation. So, il seems that
while one man may undertake to reprove
another for some breach Of etiquette, he may
himself be guilty Of an infraction OF it's del
icate rules.
