The Decentralization of the Republican
Party Signs Of an Impending Break
ing Up.
The Republican party is fearfully
deInOralized. The rank and file of
this hitherto ALL powerful Organiza-
tiOn have no longer any common
bond of union, except the common
bond of the public plunder. Since
the 4th of March last they have been
growing, snarling, swapping and
fighting like infuriated cats and dogs.
There have been, on an average, say
ten applicants for every desirable Of
fee in the gift of the President with
the consent of the Senate, and SO, for
every patriot removed, nine patriots
are diSapL Ointed and some are incGn-

has been making quick work Of an
ugly Job. Within two months from

desirable places but he has at the
same time, with the consent of the
Senate, filled all the land. with the

the same source it further appears
at least half the Republican Senators
are soured with Grants appointments;
that the 3 Q at0rial disaffectiOns
against the administration ara not

and Parson BroWnlow by any means;
that the party leaders in almost every
State excepting Massachusetts and
Illinois, consider the President poor

the coming fall elections; that, In
