DEMOCRATIC CAUCUs.-The democratic
members of the Illinois legislature held a
caucus on Wednesday evening at the Leland
House in Springfield, the object being appar.
emily to decide whether the democratic par.
ty was still u living entity or dead corpse"
After adopting a series of very sound and pa.
triotic resolutions, the final one was reached
which proposed virtual entombment OF the
democratic name and organization, when
Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, was introduced
The Governor made a speech-a good speech
and while he was willing to abandon the
democratic organization for something bet
ter, and was satisfied the present party in
power was Immensely in the minority on a
fair vote of the people, be suggested that tc
drop or wipe out political organization that
numbered 100000 of voters was not a thing
to be done by a scratch of the pen or the
of any amount of caucus resolutions
So the caucus adjourned withou, taking ac
ton on the important question.

ecuted, and fixing the day of his execution
on Friday, Feb. "A, 1874. The Court, in Civ
ing their decision, say that while there is er
ror in the record, in that an officer improper
ly gave the jury a statement as coming from
the court, yet as the evidence plainly shows
the guilt of the prisoner, they do not consid
or the error sufficient to require a new trial.
Judge Scott alone dissented, holding the
error sufficient TO reverse and remand.

SHARP RAILROAD DoDGE.-Several of the
Eastern stock holders of the Chicago and AL.
ton Railroad have applied for and obtained
an injunction in the u. S. court at Springfield
restraining the Ulcers of the company from
paying away taxes for the year 1878, The
ground is that the assessment as levied upon
the road by the State Board Of Equalization
is unconstitutional. If this in junction is
made to stick, it will let out two-thirds of the
railroads in the State from paying taxes for
1873.

CuANG AND EHG.-The sketch we gave last
week OF the Siamesc Twins, who died two
weeks ago at their home in North Carolina,
was made up from accounts more or less
lengthy in half u dozen of different papers,
and differing in SO many particulars that we
had frequently to guess at the facts Later
and apparently more trustworthy sketches
satisfy us that our sketch was erroneous in
two important particulars: 1t was Chang
who died first, not Eng; and 1t was Eng who
was uniformly the stouter, heartier and bet
ter natured of the two. In short, throughout
our sketch the names should be reversed.
Secondly, the story about the wives having
been Lancashire lasses was fiction. They
were mulatto girls, named Yates, and born
and raised at place called Trap Hill, in
Wilkes county, North Carolina. Nor were
they married at the same time. Eng was
married first and Chang two weeks later.

The GAp's Hill RoBBERY.--A robbery
very much like that on the Chicago, Il. |. a
| p X. r. III Iowa last summer was committed
last Saturday on the Iron Mountain Railroad,
about 1870 miles from st. Louis, at place
called Gad's Hill. II was not the Gad's Hill
where Dickens olcc lived and where Fal-
staff, and Prince Hail. and Bardolph and Peo
committed a robbery which Shakespeare i'm
mortaized but the exploits of the Missouri
cut-throats were quite as audacious. The
train for Little Rock, Ark, had left St Louis
on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, and az
rived at Gad's Hill at quarter to 5 F. NJ.
The train consisted of two coaches and
sleeping car, and had about % passengers on
board. AS the train came up a red flag WAS
waved, and as soon as it stopped the conduc-
tor jumped OFF and moved forward to see
what was the matter. He found all the PEG.
pie of the place-not over II dozen--on the
platform under guard, and next man with
his hand at his collar poking pistol III his
face. In short, the place was IN possession
of five or six desperadoes, armed with shot
guns and revolvers, and who proposed 10 rob
the train. Three or four stood guard outside
while three went through the train, cleaning
out all the passengers Of their money, and in
q few instances taking their watches. Then
they robbed the express car, compelling the
agent to unlock the safe. In all, it is sup
posed they got about $4,000 by the haul
When they got through the robbers shook
hands with the engineer, conductor and one
or two others, then strolled leisurely TO their
horses and rode of. Next day, on the news
of the robbery getting abroad, about 25 men,
we'll armed and mounted, started in pursuit
of the robbers, but there is no news yet that
any have been arrested. Among the pass
engers on board was Auditor Lippincott of
Springfield, on the way with his wife to Lit
tie Rock He was relieved of $500.

THE MENDOZA AITEsIAN WELL has at
tanned depth of ,ls feet Ata'depth of 53S
feet the drill had passed through the 81 Peters
sandstone which, at Mendoza as at Ottawa,
was found about 175 feet in thickness. The
Potsdam sandstone, the water bearing rock
which at Ottawa as well as at Chicago is
usually found in about 200 feet after passing
the 81. Peters sandstone, ought TO be within
% feet of the drill at Mendoza if 1t is found
at all. Their artesian well will be a failure
unless they strike the Potsdam sandstone.
The drill at Mendoza for the last 175 fee; has
been passing through a stratum of calciierous
sandrOck and brown limestone.

AsHANTEE AND ACHEEN.-Thc fact that
England IS at present engaged in the appa.
rently superfuous business of killing off Il
few thousand negroes on the west coast Of
Africa, and the Dutch are killing heathens in
Sumatra, eXcies little general concern, vet
as illustrating the "style" of the most civil
LIED nations in dealing with peoples less
favored, those wars present few points of
interest. The way they came about was this {:
The Dutch had certain possessions on what
is known as the "Gold Coast" on the west
coast of Africa, and the English had by force
got a position on the Straits of Malacca, on
the east side Of the Bay of Bengal. The
Dutch cared little about their African prop.
erty, and the English as little about theirs in
Asia but having got hold of a slice Of the
splendid island of Sumatra, the Dutch could
better maintain themselves if they could buy
of England its advantage of position in the
Malacca Straits. So the Dutch proposed a
swap, and England agreeing, the swap was
made. Now the Dutch, to keep the peace
with the King Of Ashantee, whose "emniren
adjoined their possessions, had agreed to pay
him $500 year, in token of acknowledr
ment of his superior rights over Emina, a
strip lying between Ashantee and the coast
but when they snapped with England they
made no mention of this incumbrance"
or if they did, England paid no attention to
it; and as soon as she took possession of her
end the bargain, of course England ignored
Ashantees claim, referring him TO the Dutch,
who were seas beyond his reach. Hence the
war between England and Ashantec
At the same time the Dutch, IN taking pos
session Of their end of the bargain in the
straits of Malacca, encountered an English
agreement to keep hands off Sumatra, and
especially rot to interfere with the rights of
Acheen But as the Dutch had made the
bargain for this special purpose, of course
they ignored the incumbrance" laid upon
the property by England. And that's why
the Dutch have war with the Sultan of
Acheen, who rules over the northern half of
the island of Sumatra.

NATIONAL GRANGE.-The National Grange
of the Patrons of Husbandry met in St Louis
on Wednesday, and will probably remain in
session week. Delegates, consisting of the
masters of state oranges, were present from
all the states of the Union except Maine and
Delaware. The sessions are in secret and
members of the order only are admitted as
spectators. An abstract Of the proceedings,
however, is prepared each day for publication
by the Secretary. One of the important
questions the convention will have TO decide
is whether others than farmers can become
members of the order. The question is pre-
scented by the case Of the Boston Grange,
whose chatter was revoked Il year ago and
who have appealed to the national grange.
The president, in his opening address, tool.
very strong ground against the Boston grange
and characterized the action OF tire master in
Massachusetts, in continuing their charter rs
diSorganizing and evolutionary. The first
two days of the session have been mainly
taken up in hearing opening addresses, re-
ports of officers, arranging business, com.
mittces, &c. The secretary reported that 5000
subordinate oranges had been formed during
the year The treasurer reported $4,000 to
be on hand. In the report OF the executive
committee, cooperation is warmly Endorsed
and the members of the order declared to
have saved ss,O000O0 last year by coopera-
tive stores, agencies, and grain elevators
Anything like waglng war on the railroads of
the country is discountenanced, as their inter
csts are one with those of the farmer

a white woman near Carbonate. Sheriff
Irwin, of Jackson county, took the negro in
charge, leaving Cairo with him on the cars,
and fearing mob at Carbondale would take
him out of his hands, got of the train before
reaching Carbondale and took his prisoner
eight mile afoot across the country TO the Jail
at Murphreysboro. The mob, however, heard
of it, and on Wednesday night collected
around the Jail in force, took the negro out
and hung him, the negro having previously
