Ireland is in such a rage: ut the deadlock

Germs itself 80 little in its proceedings that
the newspapers find any thing more inter-

often makes them unintelligible, while
one half OF all that occurs in the Lords is
not reported at all. The threat Of resist

Two colored men were hung in North

HE PEREMPToRILY DECLINES BEING A
CANDIDATE.
Decatur, Ills, July rs, 1871,
To the Editor Of the Chicago Evening Journal :
An article in your paper yesterday
stated your belief that if the Republican
party Of the state should name me for the
Office of member of congress from the
state at large, would not feel at liberty
TO decline the nomination. Who the con-
vention, which will meet on the goth of
September next, may see fit to nominate,
l Of course do not know; but feeling that
the article to which allusion has been
made may, in connection with very hatter-
ing notices of my poor qualities in several
other prominent Republican journals in
the state, create the impression that l am
in some way, or half way, candidate for
congress- feel it due to truth, topropriety
and tie interest of our great national and
nation saving party TO again and publicly
state that / am not q candidate, and shall
not be, for congress at large.
After a continued service of ten years.
/ am content to remain with my family in
the affairs of private life. | seek not H.
gain to offer my services to the public,
In the most emphatic manner in which l
can give expression to my feelings, and
that l may put to rest all doubt or uncer-
tainty in the minds of those deserving
gentlemen who may have some wish to
serve our cause in that position, ] make
the early reply to your article, that
shall, in no event and under no crcum-
stances, become candidate for congress
this fall.
Whenever L can serve the cause of hu-
man freedom, or in the ranks of the Rep
ublican party assist in sustaining a just APP
probation of public virtue properly rebuk-
ing that spirit of personal ambition
which would break through every res
traint of morals, and compromise the pres
! tige of the best party on earth, shall fer
vently continue to do so. At no time
since the organization OF the Republican
party has the best interest of the country,
the maintenance Of its credit, the settled
regulation of its financial affairs, the pre-
servation of public order, a provident
regard for its industries, the grad u al and
judicous reduction OF taxation, the pro-
lection of the rights Of citizens, the main
tenance of the Union, paramount over the
distractions OF state rights, and the faith
full execution of Just, wise and humane laws
more earnestly demanded the continuance
of our party in power, than the present.

THE extraordinary proclivity of the
radical press to talk about corruption
in the city of New York, and its equal
ly extraordinary inability to perceive
corruption anywhere else, is the subject
of comment by many journals. The
New York SIN, among Others remarks
that from the way in which some re-
publicanjo journals turn up the whites of
their eyes at the accounts alleged to
have been copied from the books of
the city comptroller, one would sup
pose that they did not dream that the
customhouse in this city is sink of
corruption and extortion, that the in
ternal revenue department throughout
the country is replete with roguery and
rascality, that the carpet,bag admins
trations have scarcely parallel for
venality, fraud and greed, in the histo-
ry Of modern times, and that from the
hour he TOOK the oath OF ONCE the
president has been accustomed to be-
stow lucrative Offices in return for val
liable presents"

sensation in English literary circles, and
receiving the recommendations Of the Times,

is G. Hner Miller His father, Hulens
Miller, settled with his family-wife, four
sons and one daughter--near the town Of
Eugene City, in Lane county, Oregon,
nearly twenty years ago, when the subject
of this sketch was boy. "Hiner' went
to California, probably in 1858, and spent
a short time in the mines, near Eureka,
where it was reported that he got into a
difficulty and shot at the sheriff of Siskly
county, On returning home he attended
school in Eugene City till sometime in 1860,
and was in the same class AS the writer OF

in Eastern Oregon, and what is now
Idaho, running pony express and carry

postofiice, distance of two or three hun
dred miles over the mountains and through
