Iaw Paw. Mwniti, Nov. 'J7, 1874
( ne week ago last Weducbdav, Slier,
ill Showcnnau rco ivrtl a telegram from
(Jrnnd HaYeu. informing him that a
man named Chri. or 'hriUipticr Qtm,
who had stolen a borte from 1). C
llodgtM of .South Haven, had beeu ar
rotn' :md va held for his arrival to
t:,h him into custody and bring him
ii s : On hit arrival ;it Grand Haven,
tin Miorill found QlUafl in the Jail at
that place, lit WM dcliwnd over l
the Suariff of Ottawa Comity aad i
in our Jail uvaitin' hil trial.
It will be recollected by the reader
thl MMM time last summer a man
nai uV. AuL'iiMtu Brant, who vu not
'vt r brigl.t. WM OVtftektS on the high
way l v two vouug men, who had befl
OVr at Dywgiac imbibing whinkey,
Mand reapeetirely Vene Lewii and
BtSOni Hall, VftO beat and maltreated
Brant n that he died in a few feuUM
thereafter.
iie Lewii WM Dromptly eoovioted
nA ol tr- St.tc lii.Miii fur
' , j illlt .
twelve years. Hall was eonweteu nut
w , ,,w trilll !
before sentence ODlaloea new uimi. .
He waa ooavioted a aeoood time ana j
. .. ,i Uimk Priam for fiva I
ytars.
Hall waa equally guilty with Lewii
and many think he WOI eTOfl BON to
UaMBC in the matter and de.Miwd
tm it i pooiahDieot, Lewii w as a poor
cuss and had no money nor frieoda to
furnish it. while Hall had both. So
goes the world in the matter of meting
out eveu handed justice.
T!,e theoiiesof po'itical responsibil
iky w! icli have provided in this country,
h:ive just now attached to them a pecu
liar intereat, growiug out of the fact
that the Democratic party which has,"of
late, stoutly maintained this doctrine,
has unexpectedly been awarded a brief
period of trial, by which it must expect
t) be judged by this doctrine of uuac
C mutability which it has itself main
I lined. The reason of this expectation
iMfMlOt rest upon the theory of judging
men out of their own mouths, but upon
the circumstance which bai induced a
cotwdcrable portion of the voting public
to adopt for the time being what to them
is a new party accountability.
Thinking men recognize the fact that
a political party is a mere co operation
of eitiieu to give effect to certain thco
rit - of Government by electing persons
to ofltai who will direct the government
according to those principles or theories.
On the other hand UOit unthinking men
reeegntftl the fact that a party is tOBM -thing
whieb bta leaders, followers, an
OCgaUtation, patronage and money
The former or thinking olaefl b uite
1 NW y bouud by party ties, and is juite
apt to despise political partnership too
much to perceive jhat it is a practical
MUDS of attaiuiug a desirable cud, while
the latter or unthinking oltss seemingly
cares Da ON for the SUOOOtS of their party
than for the principles which underlieit.
These imperfect views of a party ex
plain why it is that in extraordinary
. .1 .1 t Jill
' r r j
a politic-an. and the party follower a
patriot. The one perceives that his
political views have become a necessity,
and that he must earnestly work for
them within the party that comes near
est asserting them : while the other
perotivos that a party is a mcaus and
DOl ati cud. and that behind it lies the
public welfare, which is more to him
than any party tie or party allegiance.
This latter class expect.- the most
from this party. boOBUM thty render the
most to it. When men huve given the
veil, fealty and attachment that belong
eos penonansy, wey ezpeoi m return l
tiniiie of th'j ears and foresight and re
pomibUity that also belong tu a pur-
MBulity. Deprive them of tbk i r
thwart their wishes and they become
indifferent to the tic. that bind them to
j arty, and deny its bindiug force.

people UDOfl whom knaves count to sc-
cure iheir sctieuies. 1 be argument
lllged by Mr. Dawes iu support of But-'
ier was used two years ago in touth
Carolina tor the support of Moses. It
ends in election rascals to I ire us hon

said t'"-it
ne uinercu with .butler unou in..uv
tiucstiouB. What, fheu, even from his
own point of view, vas to be caiued by
, ii i t i, tu ma " l
sending an unbroken Republican Masaa- i
chusetts line to Congress if it was to be
broken the moment he arrived r
"With the present machinery of both
parties, to insist upon sustaining the
party, which means merely the regular-1
ly nominated candidates -udthe declar
atious of regular conventions, is to in
sist upon surrendering the Government,
to aclioue of intriguers and traders. '
v i i ii
hvery Democrat who supports the regu-;
lar city tickot in iSew York kuows that
he is voting only as Mr. Kelly aud Mr.
John Morrissey choose; but he goes for
it, Mr. Jimmy Hayes and all, because,
iu Seuator Conkling's phrase, he thinks it
the better of the two parties. Nowf
way to sustain ana strengthen ana per-
petuate a great party la to oppose and
sera ton and defeat all its unworthy can
didatcs. And why? Because if it is
fouud that "regularity"' and "the party" 1
can not pull a bad man through, only
good men will be nominated. To be-1
long to a party is not to .ocept and de
fend every thing that may be done iu its
name, aud to sur port all candidates who
may contrive to secure its nomination ;
it is to support its measures and its meu
when, and when only, they are worthy
Oi support." a.
These words are worthy of the con
sideration of the .Republicans, of Michi
gan. The) conic from a man of rare
intellectual force. They carry with
tliriii the Wright of the practical confirm
atiou they have received from the results
of the recent elections. Mr. Curtis
fully recognizes the force of the fact
that the nartv sutlers evervtime its tua
ohinory and the plea of "regularity' arc i
. k - m
useu to carry through obnoxious princi
ples, of political action and meu who are
identified with them.
