/ Some of the leading Republican, in
the North are getting tired aud sick
of the demands of rascally eerp pet-hag-
gers upon the party and tie Adminis-
tration for aid and projection IN their
rascalities. The Chicago Tribune, Jone
of the ablest Republican journals in
the country, in commenting upon the
late caucus of Republican Senators
and Representatives, to devise ways
and means to avert the doom which
awaits their party, reads this pestilent
crew q " WholesOme lesson, charging
them with being responsible not only
for the condition of the South, but
with having brought upon the Repub-
lican party the disasters which have
befallenlit. says Of them: -
ssThey have helped to keepAliEe the
feeling of hatred in the South against
| the North, and have 'embitfered the
white people against the Government
and the poor blacks. who have been
made the tool of their. corrupt ptlr-
poses. They have ruined the finances
of fonr or five States, and have entail
| ed upon the South an enormous bond
ed indebtedness, which has in great
part gone into their own. pockets,
They have brought dish honesty, ,bri berry
and corruption into the administra-
ton of public Offices. They have con-
taminated the Bench, sold and 'boughtl

They have manipulated elections to
suit their selfish puFp poses, have placed
the white and black races in dan ngerous
antagonism with each other and have
constantly opposed and prevented the
restoration of peace spd order,,iT -.
There can be no doubtof the truth
Of the above, and it has been equally
true forhths lzst six or eight years,
and yet the Republican party have re-l
Gardsd the thieying rascals as their
most powerful allies; upon whom the
success of their party in the South
chiefly depends, and the Republican
party, through its newspapers and
its administration has been most for
ward In extenhating and defending
the fr&nds, corruptions, trickery, THEY
ery,and perversion of law, which have
characterized Southern carpet-baggers
during all that time. The confession
of their rascalities, which have been
so often charged by the Democracy,
comes rather late, bat il is better late.

ocratic paper in Ohio. AS u newspaper, n fam
lily paper, n commercial paper, as a paper for
the mechanic or the business man, 1t has no su-
perior, and is especially adapted to the wants
of all Glasses because of the low rate at which
it is furnished. In entering upon a new year of
its exiSteRce the publishers wish their patrons
to note the many new features that have been
introduced during 1874 for their benefit, in
which year the daily has also been started, and
has grown to proportions which the most san
guine friends of the enterprise had not aniici-
pated. The form of the weekly has been chang
Ell and its reading matter made more suitable
to the popular demand, The commercial de-
partment has been made a speciality and news
has been CLEANED from q wide field The en-
couragement eceived in the past in view of
the great victories which have attendeded the
Democratic cause make us sanguine for the
year to come. and various changes for the im-
provement of the paper are contemplated,
which will be announced in due time.

Blown to Atoms.

On last Friday evening, says the
Houghton Mich Mining Gazette ex-
ira of February 18th, at about 7:30
O'clock a terrible accident occurred at
the Phoenix mine in Keweenaw coun-
ty, two miles from Eagle river, the
origin of which will probably never
be known. Four miners and sub
ordinate underground officer We're pre-
pairing in an apartment OF a building
on the location occupied by the min
ing captain as his office, quantity of
dualin, to use that night in making a
s'sand blast" in the mine. The men
were taking the dualin-1OO pounds =
from its original package, and trans
ferring it to q bag, when the explo-
sion took place. Besides the dualin
there were three kegs of powder in the
room. Three of the men were hand
ling the explosives, the fourth was
holding a lighted candle, while the
fifth man stood looking on when the
explosion occurred. The house was
shattered to atoms and the men liter
ally blown to pieces. Captain John
Hoatson, underground superintend-
ent of the mine, was in the office, an
adjoining room, at the time, seated at
his desk, and was struck by some of
the flying missiles on the left side of
the head and face, receiving such in
juries that he died this Sunday
morning.

The vasqez Banditti.

Sheriff Adams of San Jose has re-
ceived information that a party of
Vigilantes had an engagement recent
ly with detachment of the Vasquez
bandits at place in the Mount Diablo
range, opposite the lower end of Tulare
lake, and known as Zapatachino creek
The conflict took place four or five
days prior to Vasquez' raid on Cozote
Station on the Los Angeles road. The
San Jose Mercury says that Vigilante
bands have been in existence all
through the country formerly selected
by Vasquez for his stamping grounds
and places of rendezvous ever since the
Kingston foray, and a portion of the
gang of outlaws happening to come
back to these prescribed localities, q
band ofVigilantes got after them, and
soon a very hot engagement ensued
. when the outlaws were overtaken.
Cleovaro Chavez, the bloodthirsty
lieutenant of the bandit chief, was
wounded, MORALLY, it was conjectured,
but as he and the Others managed to
escape, on account of their thorough
knowledge of the mountain Businesses,
his after fate is at present unknown.
