A party that has nobasis but plunder, whose, leaders:, 'are often thieves, cannot, stand. One . of .the 6ure signs of , dissolution is the strait into which it haa placed itself on the Civil Rights question ; Of this diffi culty the New tovk.'Sun thus pithily remarks.; . 1 - - The Republican party is m a Berious di lemma in respect to the elections of Ibis fall, and the great contest two years hence. If it fails to favor the t Civil Rights bill in this campaign and to pass .it iaiihe- next Congress, it will drive away a, large propoiv tion of the one million of egro yotes. -If, on the other hand, the party now advocates and ultimately passes the bill, a treat body of conservative Republicans win refuse to sustain its nominations. This, we think, is the lesson, taught by the Southern elections. The : vefage joker'B'strong point was the 8ihoke in old times. . The thing has changed, and now the grass hopper has .the r day at ; least in the Northwest, i'-aWbether 1 the grasshop per be ' the" locust that ' so plagued Pharoah is not material. ; Perhaps he hath no such noble ancestry. No mat ter where he hail from; he comes in no questionable shapev with a ven geance, and-men fear him as the Egyptians feared they grasshopper, locust or whatnot of that age. As we said the snake, serpent of the Nile, of. Tennessee, and everywhere else, is relegatejd to the tender mer cies' of some Sti Patrick. The snake gives place to the .grasshopper. The grasshopper sitting on sweet potato and other vines in Minnesota, Ne braska and Kansas, is mbre thaii Ma rias; more than Macaulay New Zealander on London Bridge.'. He is the fiend of the Insatiate, buzzing, drummihg,,tearing, eating, ruining, and snakes are no where. The ac counts we have published of his fiend ishness are ttome coraparpd with the narratives related by a West Mis souri paper. A train on the St. Joseph and Denver Railroad met a caravan jof the freebooters Wednesday jofi last week. They cov ered the track two inches thick, -and the engineer was completely at his wit's end to ktiow what to do. He understood a 'soaped track, but a and yet he va3 actually nine hours making eleven miles. How ; many grasshoppers were killed no one will ever undertake to say.

He is making himself odious in that State to all white men by his violent harangues on the stump, a specimen of which is printed among our dispatches this morning. Busteed is one of the worst Radical incendiaries in all the South. It is a travesty,x)ii the Federal Judi ciary when such as he couipose it. Why has he .not been impeached ? Will Congress bear with the conduct of a bar-room bully or prize fighting rough in'one of the most important Districts ? . - - .

The up freight train had pre viously passed oyer the . damaged culvert and left it in a condition which would have certainly greatly imperilled the safety of the passenger train had it adapted to pass over. .The train was .detained a half hour for the necessary-repairs and the culvert is now, we understand, in good condition. . .
