—English Harry and Billy, who were arrested some weeks ago for attempting to break into Goddard’s saloon. had a hearing before the Jasper Circuit Court. last week.

Douthit, the only Bourbon stump orator in Jasper oounty (outside of Remington), addressed a handful of Democrats and a number of Republicans, women and children at the, court boose, after which darkness prevailed over the land aud Rensselaer Wks as silent as the tomb.

—A lick-Spitler who signs himself ‘‘A Republican," sent a communication to the last issue of the Democratic Sentinel, from which we quote: “The statement made in the Rensselaerßepublican this week, that ‘Mr. Blshepp will not be recognised as the nominee of the Republican party’ is unauthorised by the party. The editor has uo right to make such e positive statement without some authorized action on the part of the messes of the Republican party, in convention or otherwise.” We admit that the “statement" may appear presnmptioua and hasty, bat Mr. 8. exhibits much less wisdom in peddling Republican grievances through the columns of the opposition paper. It occurs to us that M A Repblican” who blows hot and ooM far the Democracy is not worthy of the name and oogbt not to assume the title- Mr. 8. should also remember that he Is not the Republican party, aad never will be held responsible for Ms actions. We repeat that Mr. Bistopp is not reoognlaed by the Republicans of ibis Jadicial district as the authorised nominee for the office of prosecuting attorney .and those who dalm that ha is are simply giving aid aad incoaragement to the Democratic aptrant for that position.
