An Old Yarn ON its Travels.

Tie New York Ecening Post.a few days
since started .'raw-head and bloody-bones'
story about two Texas planters, who refused
to ego home until they had shot q negro"
and did finally shoot preacher darkey as
they rode home. The sensation radical
press have helped the yarn along as an IL
lustration of the pressing need of 'recoh-
struction" in Texas. The New Haven Regis
ter says of the story:
1t would be very horrid one, if it was or
iginal, which is not the case. We recognize
it as an old acquaintance, Published first in
an anti-slavery almanac, some twenty years
ago, to illustrate the prevailing cruelty of
shareholders in South Carolina-and was
lust rs true then as now. Afterwards it was
located in bleeding Kansas"-and did duty
for .'two border ruffians," "who would not
leave town until they had shot 1ankee!"-
1t is an excellent bit of Sensation stuff
but we question the policy of using it often
er than once in twenty years or so. The IN
ventor ofthe story was remarkable for mod
esty, or for want Of cunning-as he has never
taken out a copyright; but it is passing
strange that man with thimbleful OF
brains could, for an instant, believe that sucf
a barbarous act could be committed witt
impunity in any part of this country.

Jack Gallagher Caught.

On Saturday last, two police officers ar
rived here from Memphis, Tenn, bringing
Jack Gallager, the man charged with the
murder of Cooper, on the gunboat above this
place, some weeks since. He was at once
committed to jail on a coroner's warrant to
await his trial. His capture was effected in
the following manner. A detective residing
at Muscatine got upon his track, following
him across Iowa, into Nebraska out to the
Indian country, back through Iowa, and ar
rived at keokuk just after the bird had mi
grated southwark. Taking sick here the
detective returned home, where he soon
found out that Gallager was in Memphis.
He Immediately telegraphed the officers
there to be on the lookout for him. Soon
afterwards, a woman who appears to have
been an associate of Gallager's went to
Memphis to join him, and the officers there
being advised of the fact, were enabled to
"spot" Gallager upon the womans arrival.
1t was thought best, owing to his supposed
dangerous character, to effect his arrest by
strategy, and one evening, just as he had
seated himself in q BARRIERS chair, q police.
man arrested him upon the charge of having
committed robbery the night before and,
knowing that the charge was groundless,
Gallager went with the officer to jail very
passively, and was not informed of the true
reason of his arrest until after the KEY had
been turned upon him. The officers who
brought him up say that he made them
promise TO see him safely in jail here, (which
they did, his predominating and constant
fear being that he would be mobbed upon
his arrival As he viii soon have legal
examination, it is not necessary to say more
respecting him at present.

Good Templars on q Bender.

from the Jonesboro' (Iil.) Gazette, Aug. 1O.]
We are informed by Deputy Sheriff An
derson, who was in search of the mule thiei
on Monday last in Johnson county, that
great excitement existed in that neighbor,
hoon from the following cause: #. fssz
On that day, (Monday,) John Laird, j.
Johnson, and negro in the employ OF f.
A. Childs, left Anna in pursuit OF the mules
that were stolen. When they arrived In
johnson county, on the Vienna road, the
party had undoubtedly INDUCED freely in

less of human fife; they halted people
in the highway, with pistols drawn, com
pelling them to mark time, or kneel before
them they drove families from their houses,
and committed other outrages which terrified
the inhabitants. The country was aroused
the people turned out with guns, postols and
pitchforks, and captured the invaders
Johson gave bail. The gentleman from
Africa gave "leg bail" We have not heard
what became OF Laird, who is said to have
proclaimed upon this occasion that he was
sheriff of Union county. The strongest par
of this affair is that Laird and johnson are
leading officials in the Good Templar Orde,
at Anna. y.

From the Peoria National Demecrat.f
J organ of the Sons of Temper

The organ of the Sons of Temperance in
Illinois, says:
"The Germans have notified the party Head
ers of their intention to 60 over to the
democrats. We must either indOrse them, yield
to their demands, throw down all the bulwarks of
society, trample upon law and order, and ignore
the Christian Sabbath; or they leave u.s. aud
join our enemies, and their natural allies, the
copperheads What shall We do-compromise,
yield or fght?'
The first thing to be noted is the intense
interest that the organ of the Good Templars
and the Sons of Temperance manifests in
the German vote and the quandry it is in
" what to do?" 1t is terrible in the eyes of
this temperance 'organ" to see the Germans,
whom it hates with cordial hatred, 'ioin
OUR enemies and their natural allies, the
copperheads and yet the "organ'' says it
never NEEDLES in politics. Wonder if its
hundreds of democratic patrons, sold TO it
by the "stoughton bottle" of the late Hest
e,n Temperance Advocate are so blind as
not to see they are patronizing q rampant
abolition radical paper? At the last semi
annual meeting of the Grand Division,
held at Centralia, a caucus was held by the
Jacobin wire pullers in said body, and it was
determined to commit the subordinate divis-
ions to political action" and then make
overtures to the Jacobin leaders of the state
to engraft into their platform prohibition"
plank and expea every Son of temperance
who refused to vote for prohibition. And
the same jugglery was to be performed in
every municipality. This was to be done
because "the republican party must institute
,esp issses or 1T ,could go to pieces"
But the great bugbear that seemed to
stare these Jacobin jugglers in the face was
the German vote. How could they get
along without itf 1t was soon suggested
that if public sentiment could be properly
educated on the Sabbath question, that would
be another good plank to be added to the
Jacobin platform, "The Holy Sabbath, tenn
perance, female suffrage" it was contended
would nightly strengthen the old rotten
thing, and ensure the pe-petuation of the
party in power. But this would drive the
dutch en- n,asse to the democrats and yet
as much as they would love to have the Ger
| man vote, they believe their natural al
lies" to be the "copperheads." / don't be-
lieve that temperance politicians are very
schrewd wire-pullers, or at least it is evident
