A WORD WITH CORRESPONDENTS

II seems to be almost an impossibility TO
impress upon persons who feel prompted to
write for The REPUBLICAN in the way Of
correspondence that there are certain rules
relating thereto under which the paper is
conducted.
!. No communication is considered unless
accompanied by responsible name.
.. Volunteer communications are subject
entirely to the judgment of the editor,
whether they shall appear or not, and all
manuscripts OF this character, if they are not
accepted aud published, go TO the waste
basket.
3. No manuscripts are preserved and re-
turned, rs that involves more care, time,
and labor than can be bestowed upon them
L. No apologies or explanations are made
for the non-appearance of volunteer commu.
ucations.
5. Under these rules the largest latitude
for grumblinG and scolding is allowed pro-
vided they are INDUCED outside this Office.
IN view of these rules it is to be hoped
that those who are anxious TO aid our ei.
forts in the conduct of THE REPUBLICAN
will subordinate themselves strictly TO
them. We receive many useful and inter-
csting contributions which we are pleased
to adopt, while there is q food of trash
about the merits of which there is an i'm.
pending conflict between the writer and
editor, which is unpleasant to both sides,
Hence, whenevcra voluntary contributor
fails to see his orhcr communication in THE
REPUBLICAN, ii may be regarded as having
been inserted in the waste-basket, as we
have no storehouse for such matters.

There are other Democrats, some OF them
not so conservative as Mr. STEPHENS claims
to be, who are astonishingIy dull of compre-

ONE very good reason why the President
should deny that he has changed his
policy" regarding Southern affairs Is to
be found in the fact that he would thereby
admit that he had failed TO do his sworn
duty in the past, for he now says, with
commendable determination, that he will
exert every recourse in the Government for
the execution Of the laws in the turbulent
States. Any change of policy that would
he required to reach this determination
would be equivalent 10 plea of guilty to
the charge, sometimes made by captious
Stalwarts, that he has not so executed
them up TO this time. What he claims is
that he has always intended to execute the
laws with impartiality but then there are
ways and there are means, and we are
heartily glad he has found a new way.

THE Springfield Republican contains de-
tailed statement from correspondent in
Woodstock, Vt, charging that HEZEKIAII
B. SMITH, recently elected TO Congress from
the second district Of New Jersey has been
guilty of the moral oflense of abandoning q
woman who believed herself to be his wife
after twenty years Of married life, alleging
that she was not legally married to him
The correspondent adds that the oflense
which certainly was bad enough, was made
worse by SMITHS subsequent marriage to
another lady, this constituting, under the
laws Of Vermont, the crime of bigamy. Oa
these facts the question is discussed Of
SMITHS prcferring TO go to Europe and re-
sign his seat rather than lace prosecution
backed by the rapacity OF the Republican
party for VOTE The insiuuatiOn is al
impertinent one. If the man has been guilty
of the crime charged against him, the Dem
ocrats ought to be rs anxious as the Rcpub.
icans to get rid of him but IF lie Is al
lowed to remain with his fellow Democrats
the suspicion OF "rapacity for vote woult

Time passed away. The camel, perceiv.
ing that he was watched, was quiet and
obedient, and the driver began to think
that the beating was forgotten, when one
night, after the lapse OF several months,
the man was sleeping on raised plat
form in the mill, while, as is customary,
the camel was stabbed in corner. Hap
pening to wake, the driver observed, by
the bright moonlight, that, when all was
quiet, the animal looked cautiously
around, arose softly, and, stealing toward
a spot where bundle of clothes and
a burnouse, thrown carelessly on the
ground, resembled sleeping figure, cast
itself with violence upon them, rolling
with all its weight and tearing them most
viciously with his teeth. Satisfied that
its revenge was complete, the camel was
returning to its corner, when the driver
sat up and spoke. At the sound Of his
voice, and perceiving the mistake it had
made, the animal was so mortified at the
failure and discovery of his scheme that
it dashed its head against the wall and
died on the spot.
