BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE New Orleans
papers of Monday last, have been received,
from which we CLEAN some important items
from the Rio Grande.
The Brownsville papers Of the GOTH March
say that Carvajal had again crossed the riv-
or and taken the town OF Reynosa. He had
n band Of adventures, numbering about
eighty, under his command. His object
seems tv be plumber, as his first act when he
entered the town, was to seize Of its princi-
pal citizens and torture them until they
had to hand him over a large amount of mo-
ney.
n is stated that the town ofEdenburg had
been destroyed by some new flIibuster
movement. This is an American town and
stands on the river opposite Reynosa.
Vice President King arrived at Mobile
yesterday, on the steamer Mobile, from Ma
tanzus. His health is very low.

GALPHIKIsM.-Scarcely a Locofoco pa
per comes to US without containing a SER
mon preached from the above text. Men
who are toe ignorantto deceive, as well as
some who are not honest enough for any
other purpose, cry "Galphinism," merely
because they see the term used by the UaioH,
Statesman, and one or two other sheets.
That this party, which has been notorious
during its whole existence, Tor its peculatiun
upon the National and State Treasures,
should cry "GalphapiSm," is natural enough
here in Ohio; nnd perhaps no paper has a
better right to keep up this cry than the
Lancaster Eagle, the organ of the Locofuco
candidate for Govcraot. The party 10
which the Eagle belongs has been PLYING
the Galplia game so boldly and 50 extern
sively IN this State, for twu years past, that
its only salvation n in keeping the attention
ofthe people directed 10 sUnsething else
not to their extravaganza and POPULATION
Ask them what was The expense Of the first
biennial session orthe Ohio Lrgislatwrc, and
they reply, "Galphinism." Ask them why
the per diem of members of that Legislature
was increased to So, and you hear nothing
but "Galphinism." In short they use that
word as n shield from cvgTy charge that is
nuue against tneul, anu tluI peCuuse '"'y
can make no defcBsp.
More unblushing waste Of the public mo-
ney was never committed shan that perpe-
trated by this party Rpon The Ohio Trcasu-
ry-ncvcr were fair pe"Iniscs to the people
of any..State more openly rcpndiated. This
extravaganza has been charged upon the
party, and they have been asked TO account
for the money they have taken TO show
what they did with the scvcnty-6Ve or one
hundred thousand dollars extra that has
been disposed of by this notorious Locofo'
co Legislature; but, with n sense of theii
guilt they refuse TO let the people know
what they have done with this money.
We are not afraid that the people of Ohi'
will allow this cry Of Galphinism to induce
them to give these leeches an opportuRity
at the peoples money two years moro

AAOx WITH WooDES LEG.-A Penn.
sylvania iarmer had the following misror-
tune happen to a fine working Ok. The an.
ima1 was grazing near where the farmer wal
making a fence. The or stepped into a posi-
hole and brolae bis leg. As It was too lean
to kill, the farmer consulted n physician who
lived close by, and the result was that it wns
determined. to cut og,thc broken leg. The
OK refused food one day after cutting off the
leg. A wooden leg was substituted in prop.
er time, and when the OK was 6nnlly killed
il presented the finest beef in The Philadel.
phia market. Don't sec why all OK should
not use a wooden leg as well as q man. Blu,
why did the ox-doctor neglect he chloro
form in the cutling-ofr business!

ora case occurred many years ago in
the Philadelphia court, where a pretty
young widow was in danger OF losing two
thirds of her husbands estate; his relatives
grounding their claim on the alleged iDsan-

premise that the presiding judge was not
only convivial but also very gallant.
What were your husbands last words!'
inquired the attorney.
The pretty young widow blushed, and
looking down replied, I'D rather not tell
