The reputation it enjoys is derived

WHOLESALE ESCAPE.
= After the opening was effected in the
stable, it was carefully covered with a
broad board until such time as was
thought proper for a number of the
prisoners to make their egress. The
might of the 9th of February had been
fixed upon for fifty of the officers to
make their escape through the tunnel.
The design was for fifty to go out on
that night and fifty each succeeding
night until the means of egress was
discovered by the Confederates. 1t was
thought by those who projected and
completed the tunnel that the matter
was not known to above a hundred Of
ficers, to whom they had communicated
it; but by some means the thing leaked
out and was generally known to the of
ficers in prison, and when nine o'clock

THE Republican party has made two
kinds of courts for the trial OF political
prisoners in the United States. guilty of
offences against the election laws. That
party no longer allows men to be tried
by drawn jury for an offence against
the election lswss- lot Bit of it, The
men who are charged with illegal voting
or with asking a negro to vote the Dem
oeratie ticket, or with voting without
tax receipt, are no longer tried by the
jury of the county if the Republican
party can help it. They are scooped up
by an order from a District Attorney
and tried by an u. S. Court, where the
juries are always political-not drawn at
all, but summoned-and summoned to
convict Democrats and clear Republi-
cans. Hence every poor Democrat who
happens to be charged with political
offence through the malice Of some ne
gro or negroes party man,. is compelled
in many districts to secure the services
of some Republican lawyer to assist in
his case, otherwise there is little hope OF
any other than a verdict Of guilty. This
is especially unfair and scandalously
anti-republican.

here, but only say that while worldly
organizations and instrumentalities have
gone down-whch is nothing but what
was expected by many christian instru-
mentalities and organizations take their
place, and the Temperance cause will
have more consideration, respectable
following and eilectual operation than il
has ever had. There is an underlying
public opinion Of intelligent and iniuen-
tial men of the evil Of intemperance, and
men who belong TO no temperance or
ganization are banding together against
the customs of drinking and the mean
ness of treating each other; for restric-
| tive laws and their vigorous operation.
New societies called christian temper
ance societies are coming forward to
take the foreground. Our Courts and
State Attorneys are seeing more of the
evils of the liquar traffic as the prolific
source of evil, crime and death, and are
more disposed to exert their prerogatives
to restrict the sale of it. Our MaVor OF
Wilmington is receiving great praise fol
