M. This morning, at 10 o'clock, Sheriff Whitney, accompanied by a posse of fifteen or twenty men, left town for Uumbolt creek, with John Sanderson, who was to have a preliminary examination before Squire Wallace, on the charge of murdering Thomas Reynolds. Two biothers, George and Jonathan Sanderson, accompanied the party. They arrived at the Squire's at 12 M. but he was absent.

He returned at 4 o'clock, and began the examination. The prisoner waived a trial and he was committed to the nearest jail. Just as they were leaving the room, a mob of about one hundred men appeared and seized the prisoner and his brothers. John first attempted to escape, but was shot and killed, v.eorge next attempted to run, and was mortally wounded and wbeu the party left was dying. Jonathan was ill in the custody of the mob but has undoubtedly been bung by this time.

George and Jonathan made wills, giving their property to the wife of George. r.xa.-w..x-y 1st, 107O.

Of the 300,000 inhabitants of Chicago, there are who freely admit that they cannot run a newspaper. But in a city of 10,000 souls out on the Ma3assinay or Cedar Fork, you will find nine out often of the iuhalitatits who are an fiH in the line. Out of these there are nine out of ten who could not write an auctioneer's advpritsement unaided, to save their lives. Hut they can run a newspsper! No man without actual experience, can iinasine the tri.ils and troubles, and downright insults, to which the editors in the country are constantly subject from men who know no more of the profession they criticise than they know of the inhabitants of the Our experience his been that those sentences in the above concerning country newspapers are true, every word of them. We have found it to be a vivid porpraiture since coming to Council Grove, as well as elsewhere.

WE WILL GIVE PROMPT ATTENTION THE The Work of the Beptiblleau Party AVIiat Congress) lias Due. From the "ew Yurie Iudepeoiiant. Let us turn from Ibis brief review of the strictures to which I have alluded, to an equally abbreviated statement of what has been done by the Republican Administration ar.d Congress, for which it deserves well of the country.

1. ttrurt ion. When Congress convened, last December, four of the in-surreclionary States were still unre-stored to their practical relations to the government." When it adjourned in July they were all restored and every star on our banner symbolized a state. 2. The Amenclnvnt.

No only was ibis irreversible guarantee of equal rights and self-protection enshrined iu our national constitution, but Congress enacted legislation, against the titterest opposition, to enforce the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments against all who would seek to nullify or violate them. 3. Tie Xa ionnl Revenues. The fidelity of the Administration in collecting the revenue is slightly illustrated by a comparison whose figures are more impressive and conclusive than the most potential argument. General Grant, in his first sixteen months of service (from March 4th.

18G9. to July 1, 1770), collected 832,000.735 more internal revenue titan collected ia the last sixteen months of Mr. Johnson's service (front November 1st, 18G7.to March 4th, 17G9), no taxes having been increased during General Grant's term, and having the same country to collect from and the same laws to collect under. During the same sixteen months General Grant's officers collected $19,401,193 of duties under the tariff more than Mr. Johnson's office rs collected during his closing sixteen months.

4 TlieD.U The few millions of the national debt paid daring the sixteen months of Mr. Johnson's term will be remembered, and- the contrast between that exhibit and the $140,000,000 paid by President Grant, during bis sixteen months, rejoices all who hold that the national debt mast be paid to the uttermost farthing. 5. Retrenchment. In every department there have been retrenchments The clerical force at Washington has been reduced by the thousand, ever year finding it smaller.

6 Reduction in tariff andlaxts. With all this healthy financial result the republicans in Congress were able to pass By later informalfbn we are advised that only John Sanderson was killed.
