"How Republics Die. ;

A select and cultivated audience u :
tended, last evening, the first lecture of
the present course by Mrs. Florence
Williams. Mrs. Williams is an erudiie,
earnest woman, who brings the best
thoughts Of a powerful mind before her
audience. She is not wasteful of words,
and, consequently, of time, but her
language is concise, happy and graphic.
In last nights lecture she told the story
of the rise, progress and death of the
grand old Roman Republic-a story that
will ever captivate the human intellect,
and seems not to stale by repetition.
Avoiding any details and anything in
the way OF statistical information, she
gave bird's-eye view, as ii were, of the
great epoch, and an analytical study of
the master minds of the Roman Repub.
lie.
The lecture was so compact and con-
else that even n synopsis of it is imprac-
ticable, and would do injustice to the
talented lady.
On Saturday, June 2Sth, at the lee
ture-room of the Congregational Church,
corner of Third and Iii streets, com
mencing promptly 7 O'Clock p. NJ, she
will deliver the second lecture of the
course. Her subject will be "Shals
peare. An intellectual treat is undoubt
edly in store for those who attend.

Some of the uukindly newspapers of
Republican proclivities which are lam
basting Blaine are also directing little
of their attention to his associate on the
ticket, "Dirty Work" John Logan.
They are explaining to their readers the
origin of this phrase. It was applied to
Logan by Republicans when he was n
Democrat of the most pronounced pro-
slavery type, and the phrase grew out
of speech made by him in the campaign
of 1850, in which he said that Rcpubli-
cans charged the Democrats with doing
the dirty work Of the Shareholders un.
der the Fugitive Slave Law. He an
nounced that, for his part, he was will
ing to do that dirty work. We think
that, under the Constitution of the
United States and the laws made in
pursuance thereof, the descendant of
the Mingo Chief was right in the mat
ter, but his attitude in nowise CORE.
sponded with the "Higher Law" OF the
Republican party, and thousands of ar
dent anti-slavery Republicans will de.
cline TO vote for n Presidential ticket on
which is inscribed the name OF "Dirty
Work" John Logan.
