The English papers are advocating reform
in minor matter connected with the safety of
travel on their railroads. People there are
protesting against that horrible gulf, which
year after year is allowed to remain unprotected
between railway platforms and the trains draw
ing ~ to or passing them-a gulf over which
every passenger must pass at least twice in the
course of even the shortest railroad journey
Lately several very horrible deaths have occur.

and the train. If the English would adopt the
American mode of constructing their cars
this danger of being mangled every time
passenger enters or leaves the car would be OBJ

EDITOR REpUBLIcAN-Saturday is
generally a lirely day in our village
notwithstanding this, our Liberal
Democratic friends, after advertising
largely a meeting for that day, succeed
ed in getting together only about twenty
five Republicans, Democrats, LibGfafs
and boys to hear the reasons for voting
for Greeley and Brown" Mr.. Kildow
having failed to put in an appearance,
the boss" deposited his tall hat on q
plank and proceeded to give the rea-
sons" which consisted of the usual stock
in t~rade-abuse and SANDER of the Pres
ident. lie told an amusing story of a
deacon, who, in praying for a boy who
had been bitten fatally by a rattlesnake,
thanked God for the blessing of rattle
snakes, which had been the means of
bringing the boy to repentance; the point
ofwhich seemed to be that Greeley had
proved a rattlesnake TO the Democratic
party, and had caused its death. He
wound up with some astonishing mathe-
MATES, in which he figured up the cleo
ton Of Greeley and Brown by an over
whelming majority. Mr.. Bennett and
Carson also asked the good people" to
elevate them into official ~positioLs.-
There was no enthusiasm; not a single
hurrah. REPUB.

Escape Of

On Saturday morning Qith) Sher-
if Scott, and posse, consisting of
Mr.. John Richards and Chan" Craig,
started for St. Joseph with five pris-
oners. two of whom were the Duff
bows to be remanded to Jail at st. Joe,
and the others taken TO the Pcnlten-
tiary at Jefferson City. When in the
timber near Greenwich ford, Dun
complained of a severe attack OF the
summer complaint, and the hack was
brought to a stand, while the prison.
ers and the two guards alighted Mt
the roadside. At this point, it is re-
ported. n number of corn husks were
strung along the side of the road, and
in proceeding to re.enter the hack the
prisoners walked a few steps ahead
on the line of the husks, stopped and
called the hack to colEc to hem.
When the vehicle drew up, the mel
quietly bent to the ground, and on the
instant raised from beneath a piece OF
rag or carpet each a pair ofrevolyers,
which they at nee drew on the Shcr.
if who was sitting or the front OF
the hack with the driver, COM
handing him to drive on. and saying
in effect they had concluded to travel
no further IN his company.
One of the guards by some means
had started off unarmcd, aud the 9th
err failed to fire OH the prisoners, who
now held the Sheriff and driver pow.
erlesG. Ia a moment they discharged
two or three loads from their revol-
vers, turned and darted into the
brush. Two or three other parties
were seen at the same time in the
timber. and as soon as the prisoners
were well in the brush their chains
were cut and they have been seen no
more. Word of the affair was imme-
diately conveyed to Albany and u
force started out in pursuit, but failed
in finding the men they sought. The
Duffs were under indictment for
stealing hogs and selling them at Sa-
vannah, Andrew county, last winter,
at which time they gave the entire
population of that place a lively set
to, and knocked the sheriff out Of
time.-FAlbany News.

Hon. Bennett Pike.

The Democrats of this district have
nominated Hon. Bennett Pike as their
candidate for Congressman IN the
Ninth Congressional district, and
Judge Pike has accepted in a very
bitter speech against the President,
who, he saws, "struck him down."
while in the discharge of his duties.
The present canvass affords every
ex-ofice holder ample scope for all
his pentup malignity against the pow
er which .'struck him down and TO-
tated another Republican in his place.
Bennett Pike will surely be beaten in
this PACE. The Democracy are al
ready ,chuckling over the fact that
they now have an OPPORTUNITY to Sc
iect his successor as Judge ofthis cir
cult. = That is the secret of his nomi-
nation. The people OF the district
will not, at this particular juncture
of affairs, exchange n who had two
years experience in Congress and has
initiated very important measures for
their benefit, for a man who is not
constituted for success in legislative
business. Judge Pike has made the
mistake of his life in accepting the
nomination.-[Herald.
