THE Republican triumph at the re-
cent election fer Delegate in Congress,
in. the District of Columbia, is to a
great extent attributed to the manly
and active position taken by the Irish
Republicans Of the district. The
Washington Chronicle says:
The adopted citizens of Irish birth,
true to their love of liberty lat home,
voted manfully for Liberty. Swan
poodle il an evidence of their devotion
to the principles of Freedom, and the
election Of John f. Murray in the
Sixth District, in opposition to every
hostile and anti-liberal interest, is a
further proof of the fact. In the city
Of Washington the Democrats can no
longer count upon the Irish as their
supporters. From every district we
hear Of their noble conduct, and We
congratulate them upon their action,
which il the best defense against the
charge that they are opposed to true
Republican principles.

WISCONSIN, CENTRAL R. R.-The

Railroad has progressed SO quietly and
with 80 little noise that but few COM

being built. The road starts at Doty s
Islaad, Menasha, as the initial poins Of
the land grant. running to Stevens
Point, aaa. thence to Lake Superior
Negotiations with Eastern Capitalists
% the most favorable terms have been
made for the benefit of the road. The
company have already purchased, and
are shipping westward their iron, to-
gsther With their engines, freight and
passenger cars. It is expected that
ths.iron will be laid between Menasha
and Stevens Point BY the FIRST of o.
tober, and the work on the rest of the
road advanced as rapidly as possible.
This line of road traverses a country
rich in timber and mineral, and will
eventually Be one of the most im-

MuRDER.-A shocking murd er was
committed on public street at Spring
Geld, Illinois, early on Saturday morn
ing last. The victim was Hon. Sharon
Tyndale, late Secretary of State of Illi-
nois, who was on his way from his
home to the depot, to take the train
for St. Louis. He was shot, and from
appearances, a desperate struggle must
have taken place between the murdered
man and the assassin. Robbery was
undoubtedly the cause Of the murder,
as Mr.. Tyndale's pockets were riasd of
some $1,000. Mr.. Tyndale was a
most worthy gentleman and exemplary
citizen, and the fact of his murder has
created intense excitement at the state
Capital.

Together with tie services of their

KING of the Lion Conquerers
There are the same beasts which
made their escape from their cages
at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre,
Lo ndon, where they were being
exhibited and performed by Messrs
Crockett and Pierce. Their escape
struck terror to all hearts-save
those of their brave keepers; and
they had already killed one unfor-
tunate man, and severely wounded
another, before PIERCE was ap-
prised of the horrible calamity.
They were about to be shot by the
Police when Crockett and Pierce
arriving, dashed among the mad
dened brutes, their ensangnined
jaws dripping with human blood
and by the exercise of their mys-
FERROUS power, drove them bac k

Just as we expected, the "Dsm-

vet blanket on the Democracy. It
has ssiled to awaken the least enthu-
siasm among the rank and Gls, and for
the most part they are dissatisfied with
it, and already see that it has done the
party more harm than good. 1t was
very weak pill for people who it was
claimed were in want Of a very strong

united in the opinion that it does not

denounced for going too far. The as-
dress does not seem to have the respect
or sympathy of those for whom it was
intended to solace and comfort, 80 as
it stands, it is pretty kettle Of fish.

OBITU AIRY.
General Jeroslas Dombrowski.

Seheral JerOS1aS 10" DrOWSAts
A cable telegram from Versailles announces
that the French Government has caused several
of the insurgent leaders who were in custody to
be shot, among the number being General Je-
roslas Dombrowski, the Polish adventurer who,
since the fall of Bergeret, has been the principal
military commander of the Communists.
Dombrowski was born at Cracow in 1926. In
1868 he served as olonel in the insurrectionary
Polish army. In 1865 he was charged with being
engaged in the forging and uttering of false
Russian notes. but was released in consequence
Of the withdrawal of the prosecution. He, how
ever, appeared a second time upon the same
charge before the Assize Court of the
Seine, and was acquitted. Jeroslas Dom
browski dealt in forged passports and
false certificates, in which he attested
that certain of his countrymeu whom he hon
ored with imaginary rank had taken an active
part in the insurrection while, in fact they had
had no share in it. These certificates were used
to obtain for the holders certain pecuniary bene-
fits as refugees. In the month of February last
Dombrowski endeavored to provoke an insur-
rection at Bordeaux, and a warrant for his arrest
was issued. He, however, escaped into Switzer-
land, where he remained until the end of March.
During the siege of Paris, being suspected of
communications with the Prussians, he was
several times arrested. He had even passed
through the enemy's lines with a forged pass.
Very shortly before the recent outbreak he was
arrested at a moment when he was expressing
his desire that the whole French army might be
DESTROYED.

LITTLE RAVEN, Powder Face, Chief Bird,
and Buffalo Good, after critically examining
Philadelphia, consider it decidedly injured by
the varied labors performed here since Will
liam Penn began to sell town lots. The
narrow streets, thick walls, and huge collec-
ton of houses are, in their enlightened judg-
ment, poor exchange for primeval forests
full of game. They think that the old elm
tree was put to the worst possible use when
its branches were converted into canopy for
treaty-makers; and they see little to admire
save our pretty squares, war paint, rifles,
revolvers, and blankets of brilliant hues.
Little Raven, Buffalo Good & Co., however,
have not yet fathomed the mysterious arts by
which our chiefs plunder their white brethren.
When they fully understand the perfection
to which this noble science has been brought,
they will be forced to confess that civiliza ton
is not, after all, failure.

WE are glad to notice that Ku-kluxism has
80 far subsidized in South Carolina that Gov
ernor Scott has stated to the President that
no present necessity exists for placing the
Palmetto State under martial law. The late
act of Congress and the warning given by
General Grant have brought murderous mid
night marauders to their senses, and the relics
of chivalry are rapidly arriving at the convic-
ton that it is better to cultivate corn and
cotton than to devote their time to frighten-
ing and killing freedmen.

JEFF. DAVIS has been making another
speech at Augusta, Georgia Warned by the
effect of his impudent harangue at Mont
gomery, delivered some months ago, he
stated at Augusta that he was fearful to trust
himself to speak; but he still ventured to ex-
press the opinion that she did not conceive
that the principles of the Lost Cause
were dead, and he stated that he looked for
ward ''to the time when he might with
propriety speak to his fellow-citizens as his
heart moved him." Does he mean that, after
3 Democratic President is elected, secession
will once more become fashionable?

THE effort to amend the Registry law seems
to have been totally ineficacious. If any
thing can excuse the Republican House for
strenuously opposing modification of any de-
scription, it is the character of the avowed
leaders of the Democratic party; but even
though McMullin and Wallace are to marshal
the Democratic legions in the city and State,
we think it would have been just and politic
to provide that the returns of Philadelphia
elections should hereafter be counted in the
presence of the judges of our city courts.

SLAUGHTERING without mercy, shooting
prisoners, burning splendid edifces, firing off
shells filled with petroleum, so that, if pos
sible, whole city may be destroyed, is still
the order of the day in Paris. Instead of
being the paradise of pleasure-seekers it has
become pandemonium; and the massacre
of all the survivors of the Communist forces
seems to be reserved as the crowning tragedy.
