nonsense in the MISSOURI REPUBLICAN IS
making me the laughing stock of the
whole world. 1t is all we'll enough for
you, whose head is blossomlng for the
tomb, and for whom the world has no
honors left; but think of me, your aspiring
but helpless nephew, and imagine my sit

how used TO mount mules, or haul logs,
or play marbles, or what the 1phrenologist
had to say about my head l have
learned to keep my mouth shut why
don't you do the same? Write to me and
state candidly what the REPUBLICAN paws
you for the history of my life, and l will
pay you three times that amount if you
will keep it out. l am willing to die a
natural death, but l object peremptorily to
being murdered in the very front and face
of civilization by my own uncle. There

and ''my nephew and such bosh as that;
speak of me as LIE Connor. Remember.
l am great man now, and must maintain
my dignity. Don't, for the sake of COM

as your former ones. People will begin
to suspect that you are my father instead
of my uncle Yours, &c. II. p. LIE C..

EDITOR REPUBLIcAN.-The printing Of
flee which LIE Connor entered, contained
three ''deyils." In graduating with this
class be stood fourth, from which, it will
be inferred that he wasn't mnch of devil,
after all. Most of the apprentices enjoyed
the advantage of having graduated from a
House of Refuge before entering the print
ing-house.
LIE Connor's merits were chiefly of a
trivial character, such as throwing ink balls
into the foreman's hair when his back was
turned, coming down to breakfast an hour
before anybody else, and remaining at
table until the servants had done eating
Once the proprietors were short of paper
LIE Connor had linked the forms, and was
waiting patiently for an arrival Of the
blank material. Feeling weary, after a
time, he laid down upon the press and
fell asleep. On waking, it was discovered
that his shirt, which happened to be a
clean one, bore correct print or the entire
newspaper. No printing material arriving
in time for the regular edition, he was
sent around 10 the houses of subscribers
and remained at each until the inmates
read his shirt This sudden manifestation
'of his usefulness acquired for him good
deal of celebrity and caused his salary to
be Immediately increased to three dollars a
week.

Excitement In RichmOnd-The Desire for
Chase's NOminati0n-The Bill 60 Arm Loyal
bien-General Sentiments of the People.
RICHMOND, July 8, 1868.
Intense excitement prevails here in anticipation Of
the action OF the Convention. Everybody Is on the
tptoe, and each street corner Is the centre OF ami
mated discussion as to the various candidates. A
new and startling element has been in
troduced into the campaign, which with great force
demonstrates the propriety of nominating Chase.
It Ii known TO the country that a bill Is before
Congress proposing to grant from the arsenas Of the
United States two thousand stand OF arms to the
"loya OF each Congressional district in the States
recently admitted by the Omnibus BILL The uni
versal sentiment as emphaticaly expressed here to-
day by all classes and in all places is that this points
directly either to military despotism or to q war
OF races Should this bill become law II is
acknowledged and asserted that there can
be but TWO reSults-on the one hand sway
OF desp0tc radicalism the blood of conflicting
races. The undivided opinion here seems to be,
amid great enthusiasm, that the best way to lower
the bayonet az the emblem OF sovereignty in the
country Is to gather around the shoulders OF Execu-
tive power the purity OF unsullied ermine. 1t is
related that this bill should exert strong influence
in considering the nomination by the New York Con-
vention. The people want peace, amnesty and JUS
tice rather than the bs yOnet dsfranchisement and
dearth of all prosperity.
