The breach between Deputy Assistant Dis

criticisms upon Mr. Bedford's conduct of the
trial OF Gerardo CRmpobasso. was not mended
yesterday. Mr.. Dawson sent two letters to Mr..
Bedford. one asking him whether he was re-
sponsible for the published interviews attribut-
ed to him. and the other containing dead
secret. Mr.. Bedford turned over both COM
munications to District Attorney Fellows and
said that he proposed to waste no further time
or bFeuth upon an insane old man."
in the afternoon some of the attaches OF tho
District ATTORNEYS Office, who looked upon the
helicoso proceedings Of Col. Dawson as Joke.
drew UP formal affidavit by John Doe. aver

presented to Judge Fitzgerald. who said that
he would reserve his decision.
Col. Follows said that the whole affair was
extremely regrettable. and that he did not pro-
pose to do anything severe about it upless he
was compelled to. He would probably end 1t

Friendly Advice, but Not Sweet.

An esteemed correspondent belonging TO
the Republican party propounds to us the
subjoned intelligent question:
III THu suH were a. thoroughly a Republican paper
Mn 10 Democratic, what courre would II advise the
Administration to pursue from this tn stop II pos
,ibs the aEErAvAtinE gains that are being made with
such alarming regularity By the Democratic party In
the EeTth and Westr
Our correspondents inquiry relates TO the
universal philosophy OF politics much more
than to any OF Its inferior. partisan, and
temporary aspects.
Tho situation OF tho Republicans Is Sc
rious, yet the remedy Is simple, though diff
Gcult OF application.
The first thing tho Administration ought
TO do is to mako Itself Republican, and not
personal. Above all, the President should
abandon the tedious, hopeless, and most ue-
lusve effort to get himself nominated for
q second term. Secondly, he should abandon
with even greater decision and earnestnesS.
the attempt to establish his family relatives
md his close personal friends in important
and lucrative Offices Next, he should en-
deayor to enlarge his mind and take In tho
circumstance that this Is very broad and
variegatcd country, and that Indianapolis
and tho Presbyterian connection are not the
most important elements that il contains.
II these things could be done, the Repub-
lcnn party might recover itself and escape
from the wrath that is approaching. But,
rs we said. it is difficult; indeed it is sub
stantially impossible. When the Republic
can party took BENJAMIN HARRISON as
their candidate for President instead OF
Judge GRESHAM, a grave, brond conserVa-
tive, and wise man. they exposed their cause
to the danger which is now upon it.
A word To the wise is said to he sufficient,
and so it is if 1t can be aIpi'd and con-
verified into life and reality. But how shall
PARTY escape from the consequences Of its
own wilfu and mistaken acts ?
