LANSING, Mich. Sept. ., 1874.
The Republican State Convention, held here on
the 26th ut for the nomination OF State officers for
the next two years. was the largest regular conven
Of this party ever held in Michigan the former
ratio OF delegation having been doubled, so that
each Of one hundred representative districts might
have four delegates, and where a district con-
tanned several counties each county might itself
be individually represented. Hon. Stephen ID.
Bingham, chairman OF the State Central Com.
mittse, referred TO this TACT in calling
the assembly to order, and said that good
result is were hoped for from the new plan. Gen.
eral Byron McCutcheon, of Manistee, young but
somewhat distinguished Michigan soldier, was
made temporary chairman, being followed when
the Convention was regularly organized by State
Senator J. Webster Chds, OF Ypsanti, perhaps
the most prominent citizen Of the State who has
become identified with the granger element. If
that were the reason for his selection however it
was only tub to the whale, as the Convention
went no further in its recognition OF the husband
mems claims. Both cnarmen reviewed the past
record and prOphesied the future usefulness OF
the party in ornate rhetoric

HOW PRISONERS ESCAPE.

The Queens County Jail and It's Mans
aRement.
The attention Of members OF the Queens county
Board Of Supervisors has repeatedly been called to
the condition and management OF the county jail
at North Hampstead, both of which are pronounced
by competent authority to be simply disgraceful;
but Tor some reason the board have yet failed to
take any action the matter. The building Is no.
torousy insecure, and the discipline Is certainly
lax, to put 1t in the mildest manner possible.
Numbers of prisoners have from time to time
capped since the LIST OF January last, until 1t has
almost come to pc regarded outside as matter OF
choice with those imprisoned there whether
they shall stay in jail or not. That escapes are
frequent cannot be denied by the authorities,
and none Of the prisoners who have once sue
ceeded IN gaining the outside OF the prison en-.
closure have been recaptured, with one
cxception-that OF a man who injured himself In
jumping the fence and was found on the following
day in a cornneld near by. Among the despera-
does who have thus escaped may he mentioned
the notorious shorty Lent, the burglar; William
Schreive, receiver of stolen goods. and William
Larkin, all confined for eIonies aud awaiting the
action OF the Grand Jury.
Bat 1t seems now that the escapes have not been

fences Of from one TO six months can walk out

would not have expired until some time In OctO-

ocean on his way TO ireland; and In this connec-
tion the boast was made that any prisoner could
get away who wished to. II is matter OF COM

Trouble and bitterness Between the Lib
erals and Democrats.
PoUGHKEEpsIE, Sept. 4, 1874.
The liberals and democrats are squirmng over
the announcement MADE in the HERALD that there
is breach in the liberal-democratic ranks in
Duchess county. The unpleasantness was begun
by the democratic editor OF the leading demo-
cratic paper in the county denounclng the liberal
wing as not worthy of attention. The
leading liberals, Messrs. Whitehouse and Car
penter, aided by Judge Wheaton ana Cyrus
swan, who, III turn, were aided by Henry Pelton
and Daniel w. Guernsey, concluded that the
democratic editor was hurting the cause, and
am infOrmeda secret meeting was held at which
petition was prepared calling upon the editor
among few for their signatures and was then
presented TO the editor. who cOOy told those
who were conspicuous In the matter that he could
attend to his own business. His petitioners were
very much chagrined when they heard Of the re-
suit, and now that the thing has leaked out, the
breach has been widened and men in the party
are taking sides. The editor referred to is II.
b. Osborne, of the Daily Press and Telegraph,
who Tor years has. with his paper, stood
at the helm OF the democratic party
in DutchNss county; but when the liberal
Congressman was elected. he was neglected and
snubbed till his temper was soured, and now he il
the part taken by the White House wing in the
nomination OF Benjamin Ray last tall for Senator
over James Mackin, will be discussed again as the
detection becomes more serious, and perhaps IN q
lew weeks there will be big row IN the camp
