q. Gully, upon warrant issued by the
Governor of Arkansas, upon requisition
of Governor Stone, of Mississippi, to an
swer an indictment for an assault with
intent to kill John w Gully, on the
Goth of December. Soon after the ar
rest, Gov. Stone revoked the requisition
and requested the Governor of Arkansas
to cancel his order, which was done and
the prisoner was released. Gov. Stone
did not act without due elaboration and
legal advice, that the authority to issue
the requisition implied the power to re-
yoke it. Rush was indicted on the tes-
timony of the late John w. Gully who
has since fallen victim of red-handed
murder; and his conviction would be i'm

be subserved by letting the matter rest

has written letter declaring that the
principal and interest of the per cent.
bonds will be paid in gold alone. The

party may propose for the issue of silver

THERE is no mist4king the meaning
of the Republican opposition to the
Southern policy of the President as in
Dictated by the Iowa Convention. 1t
means that if the Radical leaders obtain
power again they will restore the repu-
dated policy of military interference in
the affairs of the Southern States. And
the logic of it is, that the South must re-
main solid for the Democratic organiza-
ton which is as firmly committed
against military Intervention in one Sec
ton as in the other.

atrocious murder of two colored men in

taken of the affair, after the Democrats

respectively Ballard and Hill, the latter be-
ng the assessor Of the county. There was
no true bill fonnd, no Indictment recorded,
no arrest made. And this county was at
the time OF the occurrence mentioned one of
the stro @eSJ Republican ones in the State.

into power that "A true bill was found
against them; but soon after that was done

IT is stated that the recent order of
President Hayes interdicting public of
fcers from acting as chairmen or mem
bers of political committees and conven-
tons has produced good deal of trouble
among the Republican politicians. They
say it will break up the discipline and
organization of the Republican party if
it is carried out The idea that Radical
officials must not participate actively in
elections, is horrible.
