nous piece Of business continues 10 occupy as much
OF the public attention has done from the begin
ming; and from the immense number OF stories that
are aoat regarding it., the public mind is more con-
fused than ever on the subject, and the Goughers
and anti-Goughers carry on their discussions with
much warmth and earnestness.
The statements that agan appeared yesterday IN
the Journal Of Commerce and Erpress were also of
most versatile character, and the weeping and
waillng of the Rev. DAVID Hale are most heart stir
ring. He appears to have put himself In state Of
readiness TO resist any such backsliding from the
ways OF good in his own case; tor he says, that he
has consulted 81 those versed in the arts of crime
and has heard from them ''tha glass Of beer,
and many other drinks, can easily be SO prepared
thar the man or woman who drinks Is presently de-
prved of all discretion "But," says the Rev
David " this does not seem to us point of vast inl-
ariance. though of much interest" So trust our
- friend having satisfied himself on this point,
will steer clear of all such cunning devices Of the
enemy He further disclaims that the house in
Walker street was of i'll fame, and describes it as
being occupied by middle aged woman and two
young women, seamstresses, though he thinks thei.
sense OF proprety could not be above the grogsho
standard. He concludes with heart-siirring ad.

Of Mr. Cough.
The Express comes out with another singular
statement They inform their readers that the friends
OF Mr.. Cough state that Camp and Wilkes found him

We are at Il loss to find out what is the connec-
tion or insinuatlon In this article, and are almost
tempted TO believe that some old friend must havt
been treating our worthy contemporary TO soda
water. Mr. Camp has not been connected with the
Herald In any way, tor months past and what his
former occupations can have to do with the present
affair, we are at loss to conceive. Perhaps they
mean TO lnsInuate that Camp and Wilkes were the

Tim however, whatever their meaning is, it Is so
obscure, that we cannot ahom it for the lie of us.
But the most eccentric article that has yet APPEAR
