THE GAME Is UP.
Philadelphia Press, Rep


The Republican party is in a critical
condition. IN various localities it has
lost It's Supremacy from the peryersiOn to
which Its power has been put by unscru-
pulous leaders. In these cases it has
besh made to serve the few to the detri-
ment OF the many; cliqucs have grown
rich while expenses Of government have
Increased, and taxation has been rendered
30 bprdensome that 1t weighs on the wei
rare Of communities. Men Of no other
capacity than skill in intrigue, and others
Of acknowledged capacity, but unscrupu-
l0us In aims and principles, have used
an honorable and powerful organization
solely tor the purpose Of promoting thell
own s0rdid aims. In some OF the grea
cities the solid ability and character Of
the Republican party serve only to in.
dOrse the purposes OF scheming few,
fnneither congress, the state legislatures,
nor the municipal bodies, are the best
elements of.ths party properly represen-
ted. A political organization which, in
substantial interests, Intellect and mora
character, Ia the nrst In the country, thus
controlled, cannot ri1htfully expect to
hold Its own. Wherever such practices
prevail they must cease, or the party
majority will be converted into humilia
ting minority.

THERE il to be seen at Washington

THERE IL to be seen at Washington
City the very unusual spectacle of an ex.
Senator OF the United States in jail like a
common felon. It is ex-senator Sawyer,
who represented the State of South
Carolinarin the Senate during the carpet
bag regime. Senatorial hOnors are not
the only ones that adorned his brow.
He was q favorite with Grant and Bout
well, ana when the latter was made Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury, Sawyer was made
Assistant Secretary. He was tried and
convicted q few days ago on charge of
conspirlng with Others to pass fraudu-
lent claim through the Treasury De-
partment. II was the claim known as
the Psrkman. Brooks & Co.'s cotton
claim, and the conspirators were so suc'
eessful that So 900 on 1t was paid-Saw-
yer. It ID said, receiving $1,000 for his
services. Sawyer is one Of the dishonest
officials whom Bristow would not per
init to remain In the Treasury after h
took charge. He seems never to hav'
lost the confidence of President Grant
nor Secretaries Boutwell, and Richardson

wards arrival here, this report was lnrn-
ished the Tribune tor publication, and al,
so a long, semi>oilicial report was writ
ten out by one Of the officers OF his
staff, covering the Nez.Perces campaign
and final surrender; as sort of cor
rectlon to Interpretations which were
sent out Ivy correspondents who We're
not on the field at the time OF the
surrender, and who heard the particulars
only from scouts. General Sheridan
thereupon issued general order No. 8,
wherein it is set forth that il having oc-
cured in few instances thai l'r"rs OF
this division have furnished H.. lpblica-
ton, without proper authority, copies OF
their official reports to their lawful snpe-
riors, or the Substance Of such reports,
their attention is therefore 'lled TO n
paragraph from General Orders No. l51,
War Department, Adiutant Generals
Olfice, October 4, 1862. in this
paragraph 1t Is set forth that
any army officer who furnishes for pub
LEGATION any official reportOr letter with
out authority, or allows 4 copy to pass

reference to General Howard, who is
presumed to have furnished his report to
Sheridan Tor publication, and Sheridan
having refused to let 1t go ont OF his

THE FOREIGN WAR.

The st. Louis Republican gives the toll
lowing summary OF the latest war news:
at is reported that Chevket Pasha and
several thousand OF his troops have been
captured at Orchanlc. Negotiations tor
the surrender Of kars have been broken
off and the bombardment recommended.
The forces of Generals lIeymann and
Tergukassoii have effected a junction near
lIassan-kaleh, from which Mukhtar
Pasha departed on Tuesday night. Dur
ing the retreat Mukhtar's rear guard was
surprised by the enemy and two battal-
lions made prisoners. The Turks now
occupy Deve-BOyum, the last defensive
position east OF ErZerOum."

SENATOR MORTON HIS DEATH
HOURLY EXPECTED.

INDIANAPOLIs, Oct. 3T.-At II O'Clock
tonight Senator Morton is yet alive, but
is evidently sinking, and it is only a
matter Of conjecture how soon death will
be upon him.
About 10 o'clock Tonight, the effect OF
an opiate having passed of, and his
physician not being in the room at the mo-
ment, the senator suffered severely from
suffocation. and called repeatedly tor air.
The windows and doors were thrown
open, but without relief to him until DR..
Thompson came in and administered
another opiate, causing quiet slumbcr,
in which state he is now resting.
He is surrounded by his wife
and her sisters, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Gill and
Mrs. Holloway, Col. Holloway, Gov.
Burbank, the senator's sons, Oliver and
Walter, two nurses and his physicians.
No others are admitted.
The senator Is perfectly conscious and
fully realizes that his end is near. lie
does not speak except to give directions
to his nurses.
Mrs. Morton gave way to her grief this
evening, but soon regained her compO.
sure, and is with the family waiting iOr
the final struggle which may come at any
moment.
MIDNIGHT.
At midnight Senator Morton Is awake
AMI more restless than before he slept

have retired.

CORPOREAL PUNISHMENT,

INSTEAD OF IMPRISONMENT, URGED BY
THE COUNTRY PRESS OF SOUTH CARos
LIMA AS THE sUREsT RADIANCE OF THE
sWARMs OF CRIMINALS,
From the country press of South Caro-.
lima comes an almost universal cry for
the re-establishment Of the whipping
post. Larceny, highway robbery and
burglary have become such common
crimes that, in many parts of the coun.
try no man property is safe; and, in fact,
there is hardly any part of the State
where II is safe. The chickens in the coop,
the crops in the field, the very clothes
that manpulls Of at night IN the expect.
alton Of putting them on again IN the
morning, become alike the prey of the
midnight prowler. Even in Charleston
and Columbia, where an expensive police
force Is sustained, the thief very often
escapes; still oitener In the small towns,
where Is only marshal or two to guard
the whole place, and in the open country
where there Is not even patrol, his
chances OF escape are nine ont OF ten. 1t
is contendcd that Imprisonment in tails
and penitentiaries, while putting the
State to expense, does not deter the Grim.
lnal classes from committing theft, and
the whipping.post is suggested as more
eiiectivc means of punishment. The
charleston Journal If Commerce, while
"iully approaching the extent of tho
malady that is preying on the yitals OF

Detroit N,,cs. October BID; In llous'

publican politician named stephen
O'Flynn, who had decided to take no
part in the last presidential campaign.
His party leaders gathered around him,
and in the name of the lamented Lincoln,
and many other heroes who lost their
lives in fighting for the principles
of the Republican party, besought
him to take the stump Tor Ohio's
iavorte son. They made him many
promises, and on the strength
of these he opened up correspondence
with Hayes and with Xachariah Chandler,
chairman of the Republican national
committee. Among the promises he had
received from the Republicans was five
thousand dollars cash from the national
committee, and good Office TO be be.

elected. He wrote Zach, asking him it
this promise would he fulfilled, and he
also addressed Hayes on the subject.
Not hearing from Zach, and getting LETT
ter from Hayes expressing 4 desire for
him to take an active part in the cam.
paign, he sent the following telegram to
the Republican national committee:

Republtcan C6Hmittee:
Refer my letter, July 22d, on file in

that he hopes will do active service.

answer:

On the basis of this telegram O'Flynn
took the stump in Texas, and did active
service during the remainder OF the CAM

poses connected with the election. After
the smoke OF the fray had cleared away,
and Hayes was seated in the White house,
O'Flynn sent his bill to Zacharlah, who
promptly declined to pay it. O'Flynn
then sent the chairman copy of his tele.

declared it a forgery, and refused to pay
