KossuTH AT ST. LOUIS.

We remarked last week that the speech
made by Kossuth at ST. Louis, and publish

utter. "a that speech, if the reader will

in my hands the printed catalogue of the
Society Of Jesuits in the Province Of Mis-
souri,, as they term your State. Herein
see that amongst the thir,y-tive members
officiating in the College Of the Father
Jesui,s in ST. Louis, there are not less than
eight Reverend Father Jesuts imported
from Austria. Now, yon see why am Sc

Of those papers extolled BY our neighbor OF

riot Kossuth, that slhe students of that
University (,he one referred to above,

on all the material portion Of his assault
upon the Jesai,s, and among other things,
resolved, THAT reward of $1,000 be Of

Jesuit father whom he will find officiating

kossuth to make eight thousand Of "mate-

confess that his whole statement was
wrong and that that ST. Louis effort was

GOV. HEMPSTEAD AND THE LIQUOR LAW.

tract from the Keokuk Wing, stating that
two men a, Iowa City had been found gull

and fined in the respective sums Of $40
and Sl25, and that 10 default Of payment,
The latter was imprisoned. We since have
learned that the circumstances Of The case
were made known TO Gov. HEMPsrEAD
who, by an abuse of his power, RENTED
the fine and released the man from impris
