Republican Caucus.

The republican caucus to be held at Union
Hall, on Saturday evening, for the selection of
candidate for Mayor and Municipal Judge,
promises to be well attended. There is just
enough of interest felt in tho selection of the
candidates to call out good attendance. and
the disposition to acquiesce in the results of the
meeting was never better. The republicans OF
our city have never been guilty Of the folly Of
quarrellng among themselves, and their OPP
poncnts will calculate in vain if they expect
this year when everything points to the success
of the republican ticket, they will commence
folly which they have not heretofore learned.
We believe that the people ofour city are quite
willing that the government Of the city shall
pass into the hands Of men who win not abuse

DAAEnD TAYLOR, Eso.-Dear Sir regret to
say that reasons, the full force Of which had
not developed itself when last wrote to you,
compel me to withdraw the invitation hereto
fore given you to deliver lectures before the
Young Mems Christian Association OF this
CITY.
believing that you would prefer that these
reasons should be candidly stated to You
shall briefly do so. They are:
I. Your connection with the Tribune news
paper, which has done more than any paper In
our country 10 tiiifusc the Abolition sentinents
and principles which led TO the assault OF the
murderer and robber John Brown upon Vir-
ginia.
II. The skcptical character ofccrtan parts Of
your lecture ON Humboldt, which indicate that
you do not fully believe the Divine Inspiration
and authority of the Sacred Scriptures, belief
firmly held by Christians Of the Southern
States, aud which they consider an indespensa-
bic safeguard against abolitionism, spirtuallsm
fret. loyeism, and all the other forms OF hnati-
cism so prevalent in the North.
While such objections. exist in the mind OF
our community, cannot suppose 1t would be
agreeable to you to visit us. ....
Your letters to me have been very courteous,
and have indicated willingness to Crafty us
for which beg you will accept our thanks.
Very respectfully and truly yours,

The RIcnrs OF OcIoRooSs.-The Supreme
Court Of Ohio recently gave an important
decision, that Affects the suifnges ofthe one
eighth negro. Theopinion recorded says, in
substance, that when person has mix
turo OF African blood less in amount than
the Caucasian, he docs not come under
that article of the State Constitution which
DISTINGUISHES the negro. The plaintiff in the
sui. thus pending, whose right to vote was
denied by certain inspectors Of elections, is
therefore entitled TO recover from them,
and is hereafter to enjoy the privileges of
the white man, 80 far, at least, as voting
is concerned. .tI IEIt. tt'Ia.l

selves to treasurer Peek OF Maine.
The Courier has said nothing - bout
Breslin, the delaulting democratic treasurer
of0hio.
And we have Seen nothing in that paper
in condemnation ofthe Fort Smelling swindlc,
by which few favored democrats, by the
aid of the Secretary of War made splendid
speculation out OF that invaluable govern
ment tract. Wehcar nothing about the live
oak contracts by which favorites who had
assisted in the election of Mr.. Buchanan
were, in evasion of law, gratiiied with con-
tracts munilcstly to the detriment of govern
mcnt, but largely to the benefit of their own
pockets.
The rottcnncss displayed in their manage
ment of the public printing at Washington,
by which tens of thousands of dollars were
parcclcd out for party organs, will Of course
be passed over in silence by the Courier.
The crimes of Peck, the treasurer of Maine,
elected by the Republicans, were exposed by
members of his own party. The mscalities
of the democratic swindlers are exposed on
the witness stand under the surgical treat
ment of Republican committees. The Re-
publican party courts investigation; the
Democracy dodge it.

How is il that In Canada, and still better, In
Australia, the Anglo-Saxon race can exhibit a
constitutional rule, working freely and success
fully, while in America the same race are bro't
TO dead lock, and can neither legislate nor en-
force the laws which are intended to protect

tralia and Canada they have not set up an aIis-

Anglo.Saxons of Virginia and the southern
states are the arstocrats. Having unchalleng-

slaves, they just as naturally usurp undue and
illegal control over the constitutional rights of
their white fellow subjects. Argue with them

giles of the 18th century; it lis impatient of lib

as to borrow from despOtic Europe the prac-

side its borders, thereby outraging the memo
lies of the revolutionary patriots These things
will last for time; but, in the end, the right
will prevail. Free labor will as sure oyerrun
the southern states as il has done in the north
and west; and when it has, American politics
will work as smoothly as those OF England IN

Serious Cutting ARRAY in the Thirteenth
4tf Ward.

About nine O'Clock on Saturday evening
difficulty occurred between q couple of men
named Louis lambert and - McColIum. in
which tho latter, the proprietor Of the "speed-
tne-Plow" drinking -house, on Broadway be-
tween Court-street and Hunt, was seriousIy
probably fatally stabbed. The particulars Of
the ARRAY, 80 far as we have been able to
ascertain them, are as follows:
Some time since q woman named Julia
Savan, whose husband Is at present absent
from the city, became boardsr in the house
OF McCollum, and received Lambert as A
Visitor. Her conduct was not such as usually
oharacterizeS modest married women and gave
McCollum some ground, as he thought, for
complaint, and he thsreupon demonstrated
with her, when she became angry, and, draw
Ing dirk, threatened to kill him,
She then left the house, and on SATURDAY.
evening Lambert called upon Mr.. Collum,
when the difficulty took place. During tho
affay Lambert stabbed his antagonist twice.
first in the abdomen, making an ugly and
dangerous wound, and afterward in the
shoulder, where he. left the knife. He then
made his escape, but when the instrument
was taken from the wound, It was found to be
the same with which Mrs. Sayan had threat
ened McCollum's life.
This very naturally caused her arrest, and
she was committed to the Hammond. street
Station house as having been ap accessory to
the crime. Lambert, 1t appears, had left the
city and spent the night in Covington, but
yesterday morning he reappeared, went to the
stati5n. house and gave himself up to the au-
thorities. 1..f
Lsts yesterday evening the wounded man
was in critical condition, but the probabil-
ities are in favor of his recovery, providing
Inflammation of the abdominal viscera can be
prevented by his physicians.
