Murders By The Mongrels.

There is absolutely no safety for life in
Tennessee and Missouri, where the Mongrel
monsters hold full sway. A short time SINCE
a Cap. Cormax, Of New Mexico, had some
difficulty with bully of the Mongrel party,
iu Lexington, Mo-, and was arrested and put
in Jail. Not satisfied with this, crowd Of
the cowardly wretches broke into the Jail at
night, took out the prisoner and shot him
dead, throwing the body in the Courthouse,
where it was found the next morning, the
eyes of the murdered man having been eaten
out By tie rats. For this outrage there is
absolutely no remedy. The Courts are pow
erless 10 protect the life of white man in
Missouri or Tennessee, when he falls under
the ban Of the Mongre bauditti. Let these
men 20 on and such will soon be the case all
over the North. They are only waiting the
opportunity to tyrannize over Northern Dem,
ocrats just as they do over the South. As
soon as they can got creature Of their own
10 the Presidential chair, they will appoint
five Brigadiers for the North, and extend
their military dictatorship over the whole
couutry.-We shall then have the Roman
Decemvirate over again. If we are to be
ruled by military tyrauts, God grant US one
instead Of ten.

HARMONY IN THE RADICAL PARrY.-The
fight between the Long and Short Hair
wings Of the Radical party, is becoming spi-
cy and interesting. 1t is a fight solely for
the spoils, and is conducted with more
than ordinary bitterness.-Conness comes
in for full share Of abuse, and those who
pin their faith to him are contemptuously
told they must take back seat in the Rad
ical church-warned that bis support will be
fatal to their aspirations. Bidwel was the
favorite of the Long Hairs for Governor un.
til it was rumored that be had formed a
combination with Conness, and the mere
rumor has arrayed that faction against him.
The Nevada Gazette thus "wallzes into"
the politca! firm Of Conness Il BidweI:
The report has gone abroad that Bidwell
has made league with Conness. We never
liked team made Of bull and jackass.
Our antipathies are decidedly strong against
any such mating. We couldn't follow fur
row after such team, without undue bias
phemy. We don't believe the people gen
orally would like to trudge behind such a
turn out. ...t.l .t.I s..s .I...

THE AIR WE "Malakoff," Paris
correspondent Of the New York Times, tells
an Interesting and frightful story about the
quality of the air breathed in theaters and
other close houses, containing a thousand or
more persons. A chemist made an analysis
Of the air breathed by such persons:
He carried into theater, at 10 o'clock at
night, bottle Of ice placed on plate, and
then collected the vapor which rapidly con-
densed on the outside of the bottle and flown
down on the plate. At first the vapor thus
collected had tho smell, the taste, and 20 far
as could be determined, every chemical quail
ity belonging to the waters Of the most dead
ly fever marshes. Under the microscope,
this water was at first clear, but soon, that
is to say in week, it was found to be full Of
animalcula. A little after on these an
imalcul@ had grown, and the big ones pur'
suing and devouring the little ones. Still
later on, at the end Of two months, the wa
ter was thick with animalcula: various forms
were seen, and still the work Of destruction
was going on. At last but three hideous
monsters we're seen-microscopic monsters,
Of course, they were contained in drop OF
water-and these were still fighting to see
which could devour the other. At the end
of three months the water became clear
miasmatic again. ,'.,-

No SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.-At the elec
tions in the fall, the Radicals promised the
Fenians that the neutrality laws should be
repealed. Confdiug in this promise the
Fenians, almost 10 the man, voted the Radi
cal ticket But The promise has not been
kept. Congress has adjourned and the nu-
traity laws are still on the statute book.
The Radicals had the power to repeal them,
but they made no effort to do it. 10 the
House Of Representatives, sometime before
the adjournment Of Congress, Mr.. Wood, Of
New York, Democrat, introduced the fol.
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That this house extends its sym.
patby to the people Of Ireland in their pend,

institutions in Europe.

ton was laid over for time, but came up
again in its order. Mr.. Banks, professed
friend of Ireland, moved to refer the resolu
tion to committee, we'll knowing that
would kill it. Mr.. Wood said it was plain
resolution, easily understood, and did not
need any reference. Congress could vote
upon it inteligently, without waiting for a
committee TO report upon it. He called for
an immediate vote, but the House refused j,

RoDBERY WILL OUr.-Two years and
eight months ago daring robbery was
committed in this city, which until the past
week has been enveloped in mystery. Mr..
Harris Meyers, pawubroker on CONNER
cial street, left bis store for lunch, leaving il
in charge Of his son. Henry Meyers,
young man nineteen years Of age On re-.
turning half an hour later, be found the store
in disorder and the young man lying on the
floor wounded and insensible. 1t was soon
discovered that the store had been robbed OF
jewelry to the amount of from one
thousand to five thousand dollars. 1t was
some weeks before young Meyers could con-
verse intelligently, and then was unable to
give an account Of the robbery. About the
only clue the detectives had was the evidence
of a man who had seen a man walking rapid,
|y from near the scene Of the robbery about
the time at ich the robbery was commits
ted. A person answering the description
given of this flying man was traced 10 Los
Angeles and then lost. 1t was supposed be
had gone to Arizona. Detective Lees open.
ed correspondence with several persons
wich was continued several months and has
resulted in The arrest of a man called James
Ryder. Several articles of jewery taken
from Ryder have been idetifed by Mr.. Mey'
ers, and other articles by parties who had
placed them in pawn. There is little
doubt, therefore, but Ryder is the thief
Considering the length Of time which has
elapsed since the crime was committed and
the slight clue upon which investigation was
founded, the case is one of the most remark.
