IT is said that the deceased Dixon,
of Mississippi, over whose sudden
death at the hands of Barkesdale, the
stalwart press of the North have ex-
pended so much Indignation, publicly
boasted in Washington a year ago,
that since 1872 he had killed FIVE
white men and had kept no account

subject for a martyr.

of three cOnventions-theG Greenback-

IT is believed now that Sherman
will not be required to eat crow in
New York in the Cornell campaign
that Ohio will so disorganize his ner-
vous system next month "a to render
him useless to Conkling. The virtuous
hero of Canonchet will therefore sub
stitute the fellow who calls himself
Vice President Wheeler, who will take
to crow diet as naturally as a thief to
yiunder. To know how natural it is
to do this, ask Hayes. He was there.

HORACE Hunt says that the name of
the Republican party was first adopted in
Detroit where there were many German
refugees OF ls4S, 70 whom Republican"
was all significant, whereas "whig" ard
"free-soiler" were not especially attrac-
tive. Mr.. Hunt was secretary of the
meeting which formally adopted the name.
II was afterwards ratified at jackson,
Mich, and Hartford, Conn., Exchange.
And now the name of Republican
has become about as odious, as APP
piled to that party, as the innumera-
BILE other names the opposition to the
Democracy have assumed and rem
dered infamous in the past. Fed
eralist, Wing, the most respecta-
BILE and creditable perhaps of the
series, National Republican, Anti
Masonic, Free-Soilers and Know
Nothings have all in turn been
adopted and used by that party to
antagonize the great Democratic
party, which still survives unchanged
and full of life, and sufficiently vigo-
rous to bury the Republican party in
the grave of its predecessors,
