The Louisville Riots.

The Louisville journal, of Wednesday, in allu.

by native demagogues. As yet, there is nothing
to counteract that testimony, nothing TO weigh
against IT, except the irresponsible assertions Of
Sag NIGHT editors, founded upon nobody knows

nty-facts which certain persons will shrink from
the sight of as from the presence OF spectre.
feeble promise has been held out from day to day
of certificates TO prove the Sag NIGHT statements,
yet sixteen days have elapsed since the election,
and the certificates are not forthcoming. 1fthere

appear, sworn to or unsworn TO-

qualifications for the line of business she is now

success Her profits were confded to him, and
absorbed generally in providing fine clothes for

She says they lived together happily enough.
But yesterday morning they had a few words OF
difficulty, whereupon he took his departure. She
thinks he has gone TO meet another woman. The
