We arc led to these remarks by the fact that there is springing up all over the country a class of politi cians claiming to be " Independent Republicans.' Men who decline to go into caucuses or nominating con ventions of the party unless they can control them, and who refuse to abide by nominations, unless the men of their choice are nominated. Men who eschew the will of the ma jority, and set at naught the rules and regulations adopted for party covcrnment. c-ueh men are not en titled to nominations. Their right to act " independent" is not denied, bat their right to refuse to support regular nominations, and then ask for or claim nominations, which if procured they expect others to sup port, we emphatically deny. They are mere time servers who if placed in nomination and elected, will turn about and rend the party, with the very power that has been placed in their hands. Ox assuming office, President Gar field determined to consolidate the Republican party, if possible, and to heal all broaches in its ranks. This determination was rapturously hail ed by the so called Independents," and we had a surfeit of homilies on the necessity of preserving peace and good will in the party ranks, and much itiration of the declaration that victory for the party had alone been secured through its perfect un ity. A few brief days brought about the difficulty between the President and Senator Conkling, the resigna tion of the latter, and the efforts of his friends for his re-election, and with this came also a sudden change of tactics" by the ''Independents.' Forgetting that independence of dic tation, and perfect freedom of politi- cal action, were the claims on which they proposed to base their conduct, they immediately commenced revil ing Mr. Conkling for his independ ence, and now nothing is too gro , too vile to urge against hh personal traits, is unyielding, dicta torial, and oft times offensive in Lis conduct ; but he is peerless as aa or ator, his honesty is unquestioned, his purity is unspotted, his Republi canism is innate, and Lis services to the paity have been great As a mere matter ; of policy, the efforts making to belittle the man, the as saults upon his character, the gloat ing over his prospective defeat, and the avowed attempt to drive him out of the party, arc as Bhort-sighted as they arc wrong. The Republican party of the United States, and par ticularly the Republicans of New York could illy spare Roscoe Conk ling. Prudent Republicans can sustain the President, without ma- ligning Mr. Conkling and alicniating his friends. The Administration is too new, and as yet untried, for its true friends k court any hostility that can bo avoided, and it poorly becomes those who but a brief period since were seeking recognition at its hands, to attempt to drive from the party, the late Senator from New York and his yet remaining Kwer ful friends.

THK IilOT IN COUNTY CLAHK. The following details of tho affray between people and police in county Clare yesterday are given : Li gift y policemen poeeeded to Bodyke fur the purpose of assisting in the evic tion of a tenant. Bodyke is a small village between Scarlti' aud Tulla, where some military are at present garrisoned. The police, whne pro ceeding in small parties to the place of assembly, were attacked in detail by the people. Ambulance wagons conveyed the police from Funis. They were under the command of the County Inspector. On the way from Funis a hivo of bees was let loose and the stings of the insects caused the horses to become unman ageable. One maddened oeast dashed itself against a wall and was killed. Mounted orderlies were dis patched to Tulla for "the assistance of the military, while in tho mean time, the police in united force pro ceeded to the house where the evic tion was to take place. It was situ ted on a hill, and as they ascended toward it, were attacked by armed men, who from a covert of fences at each side of th road poured a gall ing fire into the ranks of the con stabulary. The latter were imme diately deployed in skirmishing or der, and returned the fire with ef fect, killing one man and wounding several. The police succeeded in reaching the house and broke in the front door. The rioters rushed through the back door, but several were arrested. Some who had at tacked tho constabulary from be hind the fence were also taken. The house was taken possession of and the family inhabiting it cleared out. While returning with their prison ers the police were attacked and fired uponthe second time, one of ! their horses being shot dead. Mounted men dispatched for the military had to run a severe guant let, a determined effort being made to prevent them reaching Tulla. They, however, rode into town through all obstacles. The living column at Fcrmey is under orders to be ready at a moments notice, troops even going from Cork to New Pallas. Garlicld's flmroli. Cincinnati, Juno 2. The Rev.

The al whieh is about scess on his head, the size of a lien's e'-v'. a? soon .us opened fills up ngain. On Tuesday evening last he partook of wine and milk, aud still continues to take this diet, aud consequently shows more animation and his color is more lifelike, though his body is greatly emaciated. For the last few days Guymber has kept his eyes wide open and stared wildly around, but seemed to take no notice of any thing whatever. When spoken to there is no recognition. At night ho slecp3 soundly. He arisen from his bed, goes to one of the windows, and while sitting on a chair quietly views the surroundings. When first admitted to the hospital he was in sensible to pain or noise; now he is sensible to pain, and when prick ed slighly with a needle on the lin gers he twitches and raises his hands. At night the only cover he allows is a sheet, and when a blanket is spread over him lie becomes restless and kicks it off. Great interest is still taken in his ease by tho public, as is eviuer.t irom visitors who call at the number of the hospital to see the famous sic per. ;Siafet!y liiscoverj-. Chicago, May 31. The headless body of a man was found a few days ago in the woods at Winnetaka, a small town twenty miles north of here. The body was so badly de composed that identification was im possible, but it is thought to belong to a headless body found floating in a pond near the scene a few weeks ago. Nobody is reported missing from the noighborhood, but there is every indication that it is a case of murder. The head ami body were severed, as though done by a sharp hatchet Further startling discoveries have been made in connection with the severed head and headless corpse of a man found in the woods in a su burb north of this city. Yesterday a bundle of clothing, consisting of a comforter, hat and coat, were dis covered stowed away in a hollow tree near where the head was found. The hat and coat were of unusually fine material, but evidently of for eign manufacture. Inside the hat were blood stains and tufts of fine light colored hair. The pockets of the coat contained cards of a hotel in Bremen, printed in German and Bohemian ; also several little articles that would be carried by a well-to-do man. The identity of tho man is still a mystery, but everything tends to show that ho was a newly arrived foreigner and murdered for his money. Hold Kobbsry. Atchison. Ks., May 51.
