EDITOR REPUBLICAN The trials, tribulations

A martyr is to be restored to life and office. II
has been decreed-so it is said-that Mr.. L. 5.
| Marshal Bagg must walk off the came end OF the
plank that Bob Davis walked off a few months
ago, while Bob is to ,cdlk at the end that
Bagg walked on, when he (Bob) went of! This
il practical "rotation" This is in accordance
with the new shuttle and deal OF the cards which
beheaded O'Flynn, and threw the unwashed
Irish Democracy into weeping and wailing and
knashiue Of tusks Charley Stuart having made
peace with Buchanan, as Buchanan evidently
Supposed is claiming his reward, or the fulfill
ment of the contract, which was that he should
control the patronage of the State. The Demo-
cratic State Central Committee are "snOOks
with the ex-senator, and any official that don't
dance 10 their music is doomed. Bagg refused
10 join in the cannbal warfare on the Hibernian
Democracy, and hence the State Committee have
marked him for their next supper, and 1t is said
thew already have his head in the moose. 1t was
not their intention to dispatch him by slow tor
ture, AS they did OFlynn. Their plans were all
natured in the most private and confidential man.

Joint bone, muscle and all-was to be severed

of the operation. until he awoke in the land OF
the headless, where, looking on the political mir

the mutabilty of AL human things, he should dis
cover himself dismembered, and anxiously in
ou;re "who the d. has had the audacity to
strike the Bagg family But as i'll luck would
have it for the schemes of the committee, one Of
those in the confidence of the plot met personal
friend of this city at Philadelphia. whose +" wimn
folks" are on the most intimate terms here, aud
he unbosomed' himself Of the whole thing, in
a neghborIy aud confidential way; but the friend
thought he had too good thing to keep, or
feared that some one else would be the lucky
one to first astonish the world with the news
So on his return, he betrayed the confidence re-
posed in him, and let the mouse out of the meal
sack, much to the discontinue OF the State Com
mittee aud their schemes. They now claim that
he il friend to Marshal Bagg, IN disguise, and
exposed the plot to place him on the qui pive

after all, be a long and sangune battle, Ia
O'Flynn, before they prove successful. The
J condition on which they demand their new deals
is their assertions to Buchanan that they can't
possibly carry the State for President in 1860 in
any other way'' Ii would seem by way the
President bends 10 their demands, that the old
man really suppoSes that something may be done
to win Michigan back TO Slavery and Democracy,
The old fellow ought to marry, to have a woman
to consult in these matters.
1t seems that the Virginia election badly fright
ened the Irregular" Democracy, by reducing the
majority down to thousand or two. Had the
Composition" tsken bold emancipation grounds,
and against the extension of the institution,
have no doubt that Letcher would have been
beaten.
The question of l.. $. and State jurisdiction
in the "Tylcr case is now being argued before
the Supreme Court, on the question sent up by
Judge Green from the st. Clair circuit, where
Tyler was taken from here, after serving out his
sentence by the District Court of the l.. S, for
shooting Capt. Jones. lie was indicted in St.
Clair Co. for the same offence, and taken there
to be tried in the circuit court His plea is that
he has already been tried by the District Court
OF the L. s, and the Attorney General, who APP
pears for the prosecution, says the L. s. Court
had no jurisdiction to try the cause.

A few weeks ago. old fashioned murder was
all the rage here, hut the thing has changed IL
little in the style of execution, and 40 rod red
eye has carried oil several victims OF late. Two
singular accidents have a'sO occurred within a
few days. On the 23d ult., lady, aged 81
years, in the Catholic convent or nunnery of this
city, it is said, by mistake took "A large dose of
corrosive sublimate, which resulted in her death
on the 3Oth, after painful illness. The other
case of similar kind happened with VIM. Bur
nell, an old master builder of this city, and well
known to everybody. He was boarding with
VIM. Duncan, late Chief Engineer of the Fire
Department, and got up in the night to take
something else, when, 10y mistake, he also got
corrosive sublimate, which caused his death the
next day. 1t had been prepared and used as IA
vermin medicine, and was in his room. He was
quite wealthy-suppssed to be worth at least
100000; and it is reported, but whether true
or not | cannot say positively, that he wIed
quite an amount report says one-half of his
property to Mr.. Duncans family, to which he
was much attached, by many acts of Kindness
and regard during his homo there.
The last reports from the seat of European
war left the bellgerent armies at proper dis
lance from each other, but swapping, snarling,
and showing all the symptoms of speedy con-
fiict. When they get at it, it is supposed the
fur will fly some. Yours,
