LOUISVILLE EDITORIAL QuARREI.-The CON
troversy waged SO fercely between George ID.
Prentice, Of the Louisville Journal, and william
.. Gallagher, of the Courier, concerning tie
Ward verdict, is becoming involved to an extent
threatening more shooting or something else.
The Journal gave this delicate thrust a few days
ago:
Perhaps the editor of the Courier, who pro.
fesses to be great upon statistics, would crafty
his admirers, if there are such things, by giving
them statistics Of the amount Of business tran
saoted on the Ohio underground railroads during
his dictatorship.
To this insinuation Mr. Gallagher has made
personal reply, closing thus:
Any and every such insinuation or imputa-
tlon, no matter by whom made, or when or
where, being false and calumnieus, it is proper
for me to say to George D. Prentice, the princi-
pal editor of the Louisville Journal, that If in
any thing he has heretofore written upon this
subject, or any thing he may hereafter write
upon it, he has meant or may mean to connect
me in any form with the escape of fugitiyes from
this or any other slave State into Ohio or any
other free State, he has uttered, or will utter,
a base lie and calun,ny

Revolutionary Trophies.

The standards taken at the surrender Of York
town, and presented by the Congress- of the Rev
ointlon to Gen. w ashington, commander in chief
of the combined armies Of America and France
These trophied memorials Of the heroic age and
the Father.of his Country were, on Thursday
last, brought over from Arlington House bv The
venerable Mr. Custis, the sole surviving execu-
tor Of Washington, and last surviving member
Of his domestic family, and presented to the
President, and through him to the Government
and People of the United States.
The President, on receiving the venerable
trophies, accompanied by the Secretary of War,
escorted them to the War Office, where they
Wall Tor the present remain under the especial
care Of the Secretary.
It is said that the President intends to sub
NIT the final disposal Of these Revolutionary
relics to Congress, recommending that the mar
ttal "reminiscences of the ever memorable event
that was in truth the crowning glory of the war
OF American Independence, shall form q nucleus
around which to be gathered all the standards
OF the past and OF the future triumphs of the
American arms
1t has been suggested that portion Of the
magnificent room in the eastern wing Of the
Patent Office would form a fitting site for the
Hall Of Triumph-the Temple Of Victory-lto
contain oil the trophies Of tire wsrs Of the
United States -
Among these old standards are q British and
Hesslan one The British is the Fegimental
colors Of the 7th regiment of the line.' In the
centre Of the far famed red-cross banner is the
Order Of the Garter, surmounted BY d crown,
with the motto " Honi soit gtsi mai u 1oesse. .
The Hessian standard is elaborately worked.
In the centre IS an eagle soaring sloft, in one
talon truncheon of command, in the other an
olive branch. Motto: ss Pro Priacesse Patria.
1875" 4 1.
Both flags are Of silk, and nearly eighty years
old, dilapidated BY time, the British flag having
suitered somewhat from relic-seekers, who have
appropriated to themselyee scraps of the re.
nowned banner that once foated in terror over
a continent, with view to the revival in mod
ern times of the ever glorious memories of the
surrender of Cornmallis
