in an interview with US, declared that he con-
sidered Gen. Taylor incapable of falsehood.-
Our assertion upon this subject having been
rudely denied by the Locofoco presses of Indi-
ana. we addresseda letter 10 Gen. Lane on Sat-
urlay last, under the impression that he was
still at home, asking him 10 state whether he
did not say to us that he considered General
Taylor incapable Of fslsehood. As we have
since heard that he started for Oregon, wa

NyJUDGE TowLEs Of Henderson, arrived in
our city after dark yesterday, and was imme-
diately waited upon by the President Of our
Rough and Ready Club and prevailed upon 20
address the citizens at Camp Taylor, and with
out a moments preparation he consented TO do
SO. The Judge is an able speaker, and although
he had no expectation of making speech when
he arrived, he enchained the attention OF his
audience for an hour and half, and delivered
what we think very excellent one. II may
be, however, that the Democrat will disagree
with US, and style the Judge "fifth-rate. -
But let that pa per say as it may, the audience,
which was large, was highly pleased, and we
heard quite number express wish to hear
the Judge on some future occasion where he
would have more than five minutes notice,
and we arc happy to inform them they will be
gratifed.

FATE OF SMITH 0'BRIEN.-There seems a
disposition generally on the part of the En-
glish press TO urge moderate punishment TO-
wards the arrested Irish lea ders, the best pre-
caution aginst further armed resistance. We
have already stated that the Rev. Mr.. Mackay,
parish priest of Clonoulty had promised the
Irish government that the other leaders would
surrender themselves, provided an assurance
were given that the extreme penalty of the law
would not be inflicted upon any OF the parties
implicated in the recent outbreak. The Lon
don Sun while doubling the success of MIR.
Mackay's measures, says
"But there is no reason why an intimation
may not be given as TO the future fate of Mr.. o.
Brien, who is now captive at The disposal oI
the Crown hopeless snd unresistins prison
er. Ifhis life should be spared it would give
the strongest assurance that no person in an
inferior position could be subjected TO more
stringent punishment than that to which the
chief leader had been made liable. This could
easily be effected without any departure from
the ordinary precedents. Nothing Is more
common than 10 admit a person against whom
a capital charge, and one of an inferior degree
are pending to plead guilty TO the minor of
fence, and thereupon TO abandon the more ser
ious accusation. Such compromise, if com
promise it can be called, is of every day occur
renee, aud it has never for moment been as
serted that the law officers of the Crown haC
been guilty Of any UNIV orthy or undignifed con
cession in receiving the submission. The Com
mission is now sitting in Dublin. Mr.. o..
Brien might be indicted under the Treason Fe
lony Act for open aud advised speaking thereat
and, upon this plea Of guilty being recorded
he might be sentenced 10 perpetual Danish
ment."
The Sun thinks there is geaeEal feeling
throughout all parts of the country against the
execution of any persons for merely political
offences. 1t cites strong evidence Of this
that when Col. Perrone: stated in Parliamen
that he hoped England would not be behint
France in the exhibition of moderation, aftei
resistance had been pct down; cheers aud ac

make the remark in relation TO Gen. Taylor
that we have attributed TO him.
And here we will repeat that he had previ-
ously made the same remark in conversation
with the editor of the Louisville DE nocrat on
the 18th of August To authorise and request
that editor 10 lake notice OF the statement from
Newburg. The editor, IN paragraph upon
the following day, written in accordance with
the request, said: "Gen. Lane did not however
charge Gen. Taylor with Intentional alsehood.
nor does Gen. Lane believe Taylor capable oil
it," Yesterday we addressed a note 10 The
editor of the Democrat, asking him if Lane
did not say TO him in their interview that he
considered Gen. Tay lar incapable ofintenton-
al lalsehood. We subjoin the note and the
answer:
JOURNAL OFFICE, Sept. d.
SIR: presume from paragraph in your
paper OF Aug. 10, that Gen. Lane declared TO
you that he considered Gen. Taylor incapable
of intentional falsehood. would thank you
10 tell me whether Gen. l.. did make this de-
claration to you. Respectfully,
a CD. PRENTICE.
J. H. HARNEY, Esq.
DEMOCRAT OFFICE, Sept. d. 1913.
do not recoilect the precise language OF
Gen. Lane, but he did make the declaration in
substance. He repudiated utterly the charge
that he had accused Gen. Taylor of Intentional
falsehood. Respectfully
J.H. HARVEY.
OF course there can be no quibbling about
the words 'intentional falsehood". To say
that man is inc opable of intentional false
hood" is TO pay the higest possible compliment
| to his veracity, for, if there is such thing as
uninientional falsehood, every man living is
ca pable OF it. We should not dwell so much
upon Gen. Lanes declaration TO us and TO the
editor of the Democrat in relation to Gen. Tay-
lors incapability of falsehood but for the fac;
that all the Locofoco editors of Indiana, on
the alleged authority of Gen. Lime, assert that
Gen. Taylor has stated falsehoods i'm relation
TO the Indiana regiment in his report of the
battle of Buena Vista, knowing them TO be
hoods, and but for the additional fact that Gen.
Lane himself, in lung address Ito The public"
| which has just come 10 us in the Evansville
Democrat, repeats in at least half dozen para
craps that Gen. Tayl Tor has reiterated false state
ments knowing them 10 be false. We cite
Gen. Lanes declarations to us and the editor
| oil the Democrat not only TO put his Indiana
editors to shame but TO show, that, i'm charg-
ing intentional falsehood upon Gen Taylor as
he repea tedly does IN his address, he makes q
charge which he himself owns 10 be grossly un-
just. ,.41..-
| lfGen. Lane were at home, we should make
some remarks in relation TO him which his ad-
dress is well calculated to provoke. But, las he
has gone to Oregon, we abstain from all harsh
epilhets, simply begging him TO remember that
there is not more sickening spectacle in this
indifferent world than that of warrior al
tempting by injustice to blast the fame of his
Iglorious leader.
