The Republican Break-up. Tbe leading Republican paper of St. Louis, referring to the condition of its party in Missouri, candidly sdys : " What the Republican party in this state needs to-day :3 peace within its own ranks,"and,noticlng this statement, Boston journal remarks : " That seems to be the great need of the Republican party every Trhere." Just so. This once invincible political organization is in the condition of a man in the prime cf life, as to years, but physically, men tally and morally M all broken up." It is not only hi Pennsylvania and New York that grave trouble "exists, but an ominous condition of affairs is to be noted throughout the country, as " a call of the states " will develop. Let us see. In Maine the Republican factional quarrel became so bitter two years ago, that in the midst of a heated presiden tial contest, the state was lost to the party in September, and was only rf cov ered in November after a desiierate strurrrrle. It was successful a ain last month, but by a reduced majority, a:d it u well known that the rural lead ers have only pooled their issues fr the time baing. In New Hampshire a fierce internal contest has been going on for several years, which will culminate a!; the coming election of a United States Senator, a prize which Secretary Chand ler has determined to ruin at any ccst In Massachusetts where the Republi can majority used to rango from seventy to one hundred thousand, the party has recently made a narrow escape from open rupture, and it will ba thankful if its candidate lor governor runs the race against General Butler by a neck. In New York the fires of interna! rpvtdu tion' are burning furiously and no in telligent ob?rver could exiect any thing but overwhelming disaster at the polN ia Novembsr, a-? tha fitting reward of Arthurnm. Ia New Jersey the Re publicans carried the Legislature ir. 1880, only to tear themselves into pieces over the United State3 senatorship, and to-day, between Robesoiiisai at one end of the state and Walter Phelpslsra a the otherj the party is steadily losing ground. In Pennsylvania the conflict between the machineand the disinterested, honest voters is irreconcilable. The bosses have, heard their death warrants read, and in return they will pu5i down the pillars of the temple. In liltie Delaware even Re publicanism has lecome -synonymous with factionalism of the fiercest kind, and in Maryland the party has not known P3ace and unity since Creswel! was given the rank and emoluments of a boss in the Grant cibicet in 1859. In Virginia one branch of the party has committed Mahoneicide and the other is having the life choked out of it because It will not do likewise. From the Carolina clear round to Tennesse, not excepting that state, nothing in the shape of an efficient Republican stato organization is to lie found. Everywhere the party is torn into fragments and frantically clutching at all sorts of inconsistent, disreputable and illusory "coalitions," and in the few congressional districts, where it hap pens to retain, temporarily, a majority, it is torn and rent with Mackeyism, Kel logism and Chalmersism. Ohio has been heard from. In Indiana there is no peace in the Republican family. In Michigan Jay Hubbelli3tn is becoming a heavy load for Republicanism. As to Illinois, Sen ator Logan's irrepressible bossing pro pensities, local corruption in party methods, and the prohibition issue has made sorry work of the Republican party in the great prairie state. Through Matt CarpenterLsm, though the senator is dead, and bo3sism, Wisconsin has been made a doubtful state. In Mis souri the Stalwarts cannot agree even among themselves, and are engaged in a desperate fight over the federal spoils. Colorado, the youngest state in the Union, and -not yet out of political pina fores, has been Seized by ambitious and reckless Republican bosses, backed up by the administration, and a Republican factional fight precipitated that can scarcely be subdued, even on the sur face, before election day. In f.tr away Oregon the Republicans carried the Leg islature only to get into a bitter quarrel, already disgraced by open venality ever the United States senatorship. "What a Kilkenny cat spectacle ia thus presented by a bird's-eye view of the party of great moral ideas aud national regeneration, from ocean to ocean and the lake3 to the gulf . In less than ten states is it at peace with itself, and the root and cause of its destroying and con suming internal troubles is the spoils system. The party is being torn in pieces by place-holders and place-hunters, who, in turn, are being broken on the wheel by their betrayed, disgraced and indignant follower. Political his tory may be searched in vain fr an in stance where a parly ever recovered from such volcauic disorder. It is a mass of factional fire and its days are numbered. If it can no longer control itself in three-fourths of the states ol the Union it certiinly cannot hope to continue in control of the national gov ernment. For tht past twelve years it has lived upon the spoils system ; it will die a victim of the same. Dan Dougherty has come home' from Europe, and declares himself for P.ittison. It was reported that he was opposed to him because he deemed him not up to the proper stature of a Penn sylvania governor. Mr. Dougherty de clares, however, that Pattison is quite up to the existing standard of our governors. He properly regards the office as oae of great dignity, to be filled by a most distinguished citizen. lie seems to have thought Mr. Pattison too young to have yet achieved the place in public estimation from which he would naturally step into the governorship. Rut the mantle in Pennsylvania i3 not customarily cast, as he says, on the shoulders of those who are first in the hearts of their fellow citizens. No doubt many Republicans will sneeriagly say that the victory, won by their adversaries in Ohio last Tuesday was a rum triumph, and there may be a few unthinking Democrats, unable to give a leason for the faith that is in them, who will deplore the stand taken by the party on the liquor question. The position taken by the Democratic party -is its time-honored opposition to sump tuary legislation. It believes in the largest measure of personal liberty con sistent with public order. Granting that we have a right to say whether or not a man may indulge in drink, with equal force the slate may interfere with his love for tobacco, and bis belief in his religion. They all hinge on the false theory that the citizen should be con trolled according to his conduct, when he himself only is affected, by the state ; whereas the true doctrine is that in this regard he should control himself. The Democratic party has' no reason to feel ashamed of the victory it has won. It has always been conspicuous in its de fense of the inalienable rights of man. It should not be forgotten by Republi cans that in the rural districts where the liquor issue was scarcely felt the Demo cratic gains were enormous. The as sumption that it was a mere rum vic tory does not explain the loss of eleven congressmen. The crushing defeat shows most clearly the disintegration of the Republican party, and its entire downfall is now only a question of time. The Ohio victory is growing. Ten thousand majority was enough both for the decision it made and the emphasis with which it gave it ; but the addi tional emphasis of thirty thousand makes the teaching of the result still more un impressive. It will thoroughly subdue the already demoralized ranks of the Republican army, and it wiM be hard for the leaders to bring up a respectable line of battle ia any of tho states next month. The present Republican Congress will have a melancholy time this winter and will have reason to regret the speed with which it expelled Democratic members. It would havo been better to wait and see whether their ox would not be up at the next session for goring. It is always better for politicians to be decent and fair, for they know not when the Lour of tribulation comes. Ik the mere announcement of the fact that Pattison is to take a run or two out among the people mis so demoralized the machine and its organs, what will be the effect of a few quiet seeches on the way 'i The echo of the Commonwealth club address is still ringing through the hills and valleys of the state. The Democrats of the Lycoming Columbia senatorial district havo gotten safely out of the woods with an excel lent nomination, ex-District Attorney Hart, of Williamsport. Now let Adams and Cumberland people follow the ex ample of their North Branch brethren and close up tho ranks. We havo Hurd from Ohio ! Nov.- lock out for tho boss toothache. The " Ohio idea" good ono. seems to be a very The Republican par ty seems to havo been only running in spots out in Ohio. Lost, strayed or stolen that prospec tive Republican majority in the next Con gress. Gone to join Commodore Hiestand's First ward election contest. The Stalwarts say it was an ' off" year in Ohio ; that is, the people turned tbem " off," and they will find they are " off " for good. Maiiius among the luius of Carthage was nothing compared to tho spectacle of Keifcr trying to dig his friend Butter worth out of tho wreck of matter in Ohio. The hole in the side of tho Republican party in Ohio may not, in the language of Shakespeare, be " as wide as a baru door nor as deep as a well," but it is enough. It looks like a clean sweep this tirao, from the Ohio to tho Connecticut. Every, where the enemy aro demoralized and breaking, while the Democratic hosts are moving forward iu solid column. TnE comet's tail must have been at work in tho Buckeye state oa Tuesday,and judging from the latest returns from tho election the heavenly visitor concluded he might just as well make a clean sweep while he was at it. Theke appears to be no doubt that the comet has broken into several pieces, one of which struck the Stalwarts of Ohio and knocked them into a cocked hat. Penn sylvauia, New York aud New Jersey aro in lino with tbe remaining fragments. Speaker Keiker was heard softly ei.anting late on Tuesday night : "I'm Ii-nely to-night, love, without you." It is supposed tho words wrru dedicated to Buttcrworih. the blackguard ot 'io House of Rcpixstiita rives who has been spumed by the honest people of Cincinnati. We view with alarm tho recklessness which pervades every department, of tho Federal government, while recent start ling exposures of fraud and corruption show that a change of administration is imperatively needed. Rep. 2fat. Platform 1860. The Stalwarts in New York aro " har monizing" tho party by openly " boy cotting" tha oldest Republican news paper in the stato. tho Albany Journal founded by Thurlow Weed, became it will not surrender to them. Bull-dozer Smyth is making votes for Cleveland by tho thousand. As tho returns from tho Ohio election continue to come in, it is seen that the ex. tent of the Democratic victory is even wider than had been expected from tho earlier leports. Tho majority on the state ticket is upwards of 30,000, the election of sixteen congressmen practically assured, and in every particular the tri. umph is as complete as the most ardent Democrat could wish.

Sixteen Democratic Congressmen Out of Twenty-one Certainly Elected With Several Hack District Yet to Hear From. The Trlumpb Complete. As the returns from Ohio como in the Democratic majority increases. The Dem ocrats are claiming the state by from 25,000 to 30,000 majority and the Repub licans are inclined to concede something like 20,000. The returns show that the Republicans were entirely at sea on all their calculations. They had carefully figured it out that their nlv losses would be in the cities, where tho German vote is strong, and they confidently expected to get the bulk of the Prohibition vote It seems, however;: that tho Prohibitionists would not trust either party and the in dications aro that they have not only stuck solidly by their ticket, but havo gained a considerable vote. Tho temper ance issue raised by Governor Foster therefore worked disadvantageous!; to tho Republican party. It not only lost them the German vote,-but it increased the Prohibition vote materially. Tbe Democrats gain all through the country, where the liquor question had no effect whatever as an issue. The honest country people havo recorded their votes against tho Stalwart ism of the Arthur-Mahone-Chalmers administration. They could not forget the shanio which this combination has brought upon tho party since the death of Garfield, and they have stamped their protest not only upon the face of tho stato ticket, but upon tho con gressional tickets as well. Tho Democrats havo thus made a great gaiu of congress men, and Chairman Nasi), of the Repub lican stato committee, figured it out last night that ho cau put down for sure only fivo Republican congressmen, just the number of Democrats ia tho present dele gation. The returns from the congressional dis tricts indicate that tho Democrats have elected 1C congressmen and the Republi cans five, as follows. Present members are marked with an astet isk () : Dist. ).

Chairman Hansel's view of the situation is colored with roseate hues by the new Ohio idea aud he does not hesitate to say that the Democratic gains in the Congres sional delegation aro a crushing defeat of the administration and will " settle" Er rett and Barr for Congress and 20,000 to Pattison's majority. He said : " I have always maintained that tho issues which were involved in our state campaign were not the same iu any other state, and the incident of victory iu Ohio has not chang ed my opinion on that point. Ihave never felt that tho result hero depended upon the result in any other state aud the oyes of our people havo not been turned to the Sep tembcrand October elections this year as before. At the same time it was already manifost that the fact of tho Democrats carrying Ohio will inspire the Democrats of Pennsylvania to greater life aud enthu siasm aud result iu bringing out a much larger vote, while, at the same time it will depress tho Stalwarts aud make them more hopeless than they had been before. I think that tho national significance of the Ohio election lies in tho crushing de feat which tho administration aud tho Stal warts havo received there. Mr. Keifcr was the special representative of the adminis tration, and tho fact of largo congressional gains for tho Democrats in his stato vin dicates tho Independent movoment aud will materially influence, tlic result in those congressional districts of this state in which the nominees are distinctively Cam eron Stalwarts. It shows that tho temper of the people is against 'bossism' and the spoils system, and inasmuch as Beaver's candidacy stands for these, tho prospects of his election have bsen utterly ruined. " DUUUHEKTr ON i'ATTISOM. Tiie I) rat or Pronounces Him an Estlinaulo Man. Dauiol Dougherty has just returned from Europe, having made a pleasant tour through Belgium, Germany, Austria and. Italy. Just after his departure the Cin cinnati Enquirer printed what purported to bo au interview with him. This vera cious article was signed by George Alfred Townscnd, a fact that in itself should have fully guaranteed its truthfulness, and represented Mr. Dougherty as saying that Robert E. Pattison, theu recently nomi nated for governor was in no way worthy of the honor. Mr. Dougherty was visited by a reporter and asked whether ho had anything to say in reply to Georgo Alfred Tow-end's alleged interview. Mr Dough erty said : I havo an indistinct recollection of a casual cuuvptsatiru, iu which, I suppose, Mr Townsond must have been a listener or a participant. I certainly had littla to say to hira individually. Private conver sation, by every principle of prcprietv, should never bo repeated. That Mr. Towusond would afterward write his re tnrmbraucc of my words,aud send it back 3,000 niiles for publication as my utter ance, I never could have dreamt. I can conceive of no motive that prompted tho writer but a desire to injure mo, and an attempt to injure Mr. Pattison, whose nomination I will, of course, support and cheerfully aid in electing. Placed in an embarrassing situation by a violation of social intercourse, 1 must ba permitted to say that it seems I havo peculiar views about our state. Possibly I may be mistaken ; but I have a notion that Pennsylvania is a really great commonwealth that ' to be governor of Pnnnsylvania, or a senator of the United States from Pennsylvania is a vast responsibility and should only bo given to ono who has shown himself in some way intelligently fitted for the exalted honor. Having said this much I am bouud to add that Mr. Pattison is fully up, nay, above the standmd of Pennsylvania gover nors. I havo had little opportunity to judge of his mental gifts. His remarks at tho Commonwealth club iu September, which I read this afternoon for tho first time, are admirable, straightforward and havo none of tho cringing of the demagogue. He may develop into a great man, for he will havo a great op portunity. Mr. Pattison, of a certainty, has other duties equally important busi ness ability, practical sense, force of char acter, unswerving adherence to exact in tegrity, and I am sure he will be faithful and clean in the public ojjice ; will stop all raids upon the public treasury and be free from improper partisan complications. Ill 12 CAMPAIGN IX THE Si ATE. Candidate Elliott and Speaker Zlandall tn Washington County. Tho Democrats of Washington county opened tho campaign with a grand rally.

Ho made an able cd dress, holding tho attention of the audi ence for an hour. The meeting was one of tho largest over held in the county. Henel at Bristol. There was a tremendous outpouring of Bucks county Democrats to celebrate tho Ohio victory, and the hall did not begin to hold those present. The meeting was or ganized by tho election of John C. HucW ert, esq., as chairman, and a largo number of tho leading Democrats as vice presi dents. Henry G. Murfit, the Democratic candidato for district attcruey, and W. U. Hensel, chairman of the Democratic state committee, made addresses, and wcro warmly received. Candidate I.oriu Not i:i!glble. It appearing that M. W. Loftus, tho Democratic candidato for Legislature in Wilke3barre, is not eligible to serve as assemblyman, if elected, the delegates who were at tho convention at Moosic, September 18, will reconvene at Curry's hali, Pleasant Valley, on Saturday, Octo ber 14, to nominate a candidato who cau qualify.

Mrs. Frederick Butler, of Rcadiug, was stung by an insect commonly known as a "snake doctoi ' or "snake feeder" about a mouth ?.go. Siuco then she has suffeicd in a tciribls manner. At tho time of the sting the lady was sittiug on tW step at Ler roside'ico, whou the insect alighted on her hand for a mo ment. At the time she felt only a slight burning sensation. The uo'xt day her hand begau to swell, but she did uot consult a physician for t-.vo days after ward. By that timo her baud and arm had assumed fearful proportions and she experienced the most agonizing pain, as though her arm was burning up, and her sufferings could not have been more paiuful had sho thrust tho iuuin ber into living firo. The entire hand and arm became covered with numberless blisters aud these ditcharged a poisonous green matter. The swelling finally loft the upper pait of her arm aud is now generally receding. Tho greatest paiu is experienced towards evening, about the timo of day sho was stung. Blisters continue to form aud aro now dis charging a ycllowifch mattor. The buraiug sensations cea&o partly at times, but tho woman sufiVrs continual pain aud has not rested easily since she was stung aud is grca'ly prostrated. She is recovering slowly, but it is thought that it will be several weeks yet bufcro sho is entirely cured. fcTAKVATlOS AND UJS.ATU. A Dlstre-Rlnij Story of tho Satferingg of t German .Family in Wllkesbarre. A Gerinau family named Wichmusky, comprising father, mother and three chil dren, came from Germany and located in Wilkesbarre on the 1st of May last. Im mediately after their arrival Mrs. Wich musky was takcu sick, with a disease which crippled her, and a short timo after ward the husband aud father was pros trated with malaria. Tho son was put to work in the mines aud tho cider daughter left at homo to take care of her parents. Two months had hardly passed till both son and daughter were also stricken down with a fatal disease and thus was the en tire moans of support of the family taken anray. Their condition was not nvido public till Friday last, when tho elder daughter died literally of starvation. Tho chief of police was thou notified, but tho story of the poor family's sufferings was heard so late as to render asslatance of little benefit, for on Sunday morning tho son, aged eighteen, followed his elder sis--ter into eternity, and yesterday tho youn ger dan gh tor aud only remaining child died. When visited by tho polio? I ho family was found to bo iu tho most desti tute condition, without even a crust of bread in tho houso. and it is said that the children's lives might havo been saved had they been givou proper food in timo. T11KKATKSKD UI'KISINU OF NKGKOES. A iUasaacre ot Winter In L,ee county, Ala bama, Said to be Contemplated. Intelligence has been received of a con templated uprising of tho negroes in Lcc county, Alabama. Tho news was brought by a number of families who have fled to Columbus, Ga., and points near there fo escape tho threatened danger. It is learned that a trustworthy negro informed Ilohoit Saeser that the negroes in tend to barn the hoar.es and massacre the whites on Friday or Satuiday next. The trouble ia said to havo grown out of a disturbance caused by a negro shooting a whito man somo weeks ago. The wildest excitement is said to prevail all ovcrL&e county, partic ularly iu tho vicinity of the Chcwacia lime works, at Yongsboro. The reports coming in, although regarded as much exaggera ted, cause soma excitemont hero, because they aro believed to have some' founda tion. A dispatch to the Enquirer-Sun from Youngboro, Ala., the nearest station to the Chcwacia lime works, says thoro is no uprising of negroes in that section. Other families who reached Columbus, Ga,, to night say that trouble is expected. Confession or a Jlrntal Cnlld Murder. Aimer L. Meaker, now confined iu the stato prison at Montpelier, Vt., under sen tence of death for killing a little girl at Waterbury, Vt., some two years since, by administeiing strychnine, having previ ously cruelly beateu.the child on several occasions, has made a confession which recites substantially the same facts as were brought out by witnesses at tho trial. He accuses his mother of instigat ing the murder. The detail:, show great b,..-.:ity. FATAL JURY OF A MOB ATriFCMUBDXBERS HOKKIBLK TATY He in Torn From the JaU and Killed on tb Street A Pitcned Battle Between the Mob and FoUce. At ten minutes past two o'clock Wed nesday morning about 100 mounted men from Posey county, Ind., quietly sur rounded.the county jaik awoke the sheriff and demanded of him the keys of the jail. They then went to the cell of Hume Red man, who is imprisoned for wife murder, took him out and putting him in a buggy drove off with him. Upon their leaving a number of shots were fired, and the tire bells were rung for the purpose of notify ing tho police, but before tho arrival of the patrolmen the squad was out of night, disappearing down the street leading to the Mi. Vernon road. The sheriff was warned only a moment before tbe mob arrived at the jail, and before he could get to tho outer door to lock it the mob burst iu 'upon him and hold him a prisoner. The police on arriving followed tho mob aud finally got within gunshot distance. The policemau fired after the retreating men, aud one of them, named Dave Muiphy, living near Rcdmau's homo, in Posey county, was killed. As tho mob hurried along with Redman, a fire engine ran against tbe buggy in which tho prisoner was seated aud overturned it, when tho order was given to kill Redman on the spot. One of tho men seized a sledge hammer and dealt Redman a powerful blow on the head, felling him to the ground. At this point Chief Pritchett arrived on the scene. One of the mob ran up to him aud said : " Go away from here, Pritchett ; wo do not want to kill yuu ;" at tho same time snapping a revolver in his face, but his hand was knocked up before the weapon was discharged and tho shot passed by harmlessly. By this timo several officers wero on the grouud, aud they, without any orders from their superiors, opened fire on the rapidly retreating mob, who in turn fired as they ran. Tho mob were well armed, and a pitched battle was fought on Third htrcct, the bullets whistling in every direction. Chief Pritchett and Detectivo Newell, who led the fiht "against the mob, made an effort to capture some of them, but the firing was !o vigorous that they were com pelled to lie flat on tho ground in order to escape death. Tho result of tho battle was that Redman was not only killed where ho was stricken down with a 'sledge-hammer, but over two dozen balls entered his body. It was at this place that David Murphy, a brother-in-law of the murdered womau, met her death. The mob was so intent on killing Redman that they fired helter skelter through their own ranks. Tho body ot Redman was conveyed to the court houso, but lifo was rxtinct. Tiie mob ou leaving ths scene separated, and cvory thing was doue to avoid tho officers. n i PERSON At..
