editor Of the N. M. Union, (says an ex-
change), is a candidate for the Legislature.
In The last number Of bis paper he published
a circular to bis felloW-citizens of eight col
umns. Whereupon he says
II may be asked why write so long a
circular. An anecdote will illustrate my
answer. Once upon time, an old lady
sent her grandson out 10 sci turkey. On
his return, the following dialogue took
place
"' Sammy, have you sci her? p

VINO KILLED THE BULL THE Bull olsa
neighbor Of mine Squire Johnson was
killed. 1t was a valuable one, and the
Squire's suspicion was Immediately fastened
upon ,rifling fellow in the neighLoThood,
with whom he had difficulty, BY the name
of Williams, as the perpetralor Of the deed,
but who Indignantly repelled the "Soft i'm
peachment." The Squire, from his inli'
mate acquaintance with human nature, be-
lieved that he could substantiate the charge
BY fellow of the name Of Smith, and ac-
cordingly had him summoned as a witness.
The trial was before Squire W., John S.
Fale, formerly of the "dark and bloody
ground" appeared for the plaintiff. The
defense was conducted by Gen. c. F.
Brayser.
The witness Smith was called, and after
being duly impressed with the solemnity Of
an oath and Of the importance of deposing
10 the truth, by the Judge W., Fale began ;
"You know, Mr.. Smith, that Squire John

JOHN RANDOLPH AND THE LATE TRTsT-
AN BURoEs.-From an excellent biograph.
ical sketch of the Tristan Burgess, in the
New York Herald, we clip the following:
John Randolph, of Virginia, having been
one year United States Senator, returned
10 the House Of Representatives in Decem-
ber, 1927. In the course of the session,
he interrupted Mr.. Burgess in speech on
the tariff, and made use Of some very sar-
castle remarks on him and New England.
Randolph was accustomed in his speeches
10 ridicule New England men and meas
ures, and it was not often that member
was found willing to take the risk of re-
plying 10 him. He more than met his
match in Mr.. Burgess on the occasion re-
ferred to, and the severe retort Of the latter
is fresh in the memory Of many at this day
The concluding part of it was in these
words:
Sir, Divine Providence has taken care
Of bis own universe. Moral monsters can.
not propagate. Impotent of everything
but malevolence Of purpose, they can do no
otherwise 10 multiply miserieS, than by
blaspheming all that is pure, and prosper
Gus and happy. Could demon propagate
demon, the universe might become a Pan
demonium but rejoice that the father of
lies can never become the father Of liars.
One adversary Of God and man is enough
for one nation"
Mr.. Randolph could not Withstand the
unparalleled severity Of this retort.

The affairs of the 4th seemed ye

- i ne aEdTs vi inc ftn seeHco yeSee'-
day 10 be in u very mixed state. The affair
which came of in the afternoon in the grove,
was generally discussed, and we believe the
general and most correct conclusion arrived
al, was, thGt an excess Of beer and bad liquor
was much more prolific in getting up rows
than anything else. We saw some coun-
tsaances which had been most feariully or
nafnented the day before, and bore the tro-
fes Of an unsuccessful contest. We hope
il will be a long time before the national day
of the American Republic, and the memories
of the signcrs of the declaration of indepen-
dence, shall be again desecrated in such
manner.
We have heard of no deaths as the
effects of the dissipation and heat of Fourth
of July. There was considerable drinking,
but the weather was fortunately much COOL
We are compelled TO leave out
good deal of original matter, but will open
our columns Tomorrow.
- The amount OF liquor drank in this
city on the 4th must have been immense, to
have begotten such an unparalleled amount
of uncomfortable patriotism. There was
but little actual fighting, but deal OF belli-
perent talk, evidently the effects Of all over
flow of spirits.
THE Mississippi is falling from st
Louis to Cairo. Sunday last there were
feet water reported on lower rapids. Nilsson.
ri and Illinois oil a stand.
- The Lady Pike arrived here from ST.
Louis night before last. We thank her Off
GERS for papers. She was detained at ST.
Louis by the burning on, of u boiler.
- The Jas Lyon was cold last Friday
at st. Louis, to Capt. VIM. Holiday aud par
ties in Keokuk and Potosi, for $4,000. She
is now on her way to Cincinnati to repaint,
&c, when she will enter the upper Missis
sippi trade.
- The fine packet Telegraph No. ar
rived here early yesterday morning, which
proves she is SO fast she can jump sand bars.
We learn that DIR. r. ii. Voolfolk.
lately clerk of the splendid r. J. Ward. is
to take command Of the Southerner. If this
be true, all we can say is, tho Sourherner will
loose none of her well.earned popularity.
- The Southerner arrived here from
St. Louis early yesterday morning, in good
time considering the low stage of water
She was full of passengers. The Southern
erwill be down Saturday morning, and any
body going to st. Louis need not look for
better chance.
- The Lady Pike will be down to-mor.
row morning for st. Louis.
"A large number of boats are now
aaying up at Paducah.
- The Paducah Journal says the Grand
Jury of Livingston county has indicted the
officers of the Lucia for murder-they hav-
ing run their boat over little boy in a skiff,
between Smithand and Dycusburgh. The
boy was killed instantly.
- Frelghts are reported very scarce on
the Illinois river.
The great problem is now solved, the
Kansas river can now be navigated if the
right sort of steamboats, are used, for at least
three-fourths OF the year.
