The Louisville Riot.

The accounts of the recent bloody and
disgraceful riots at Louisville, given by
the journals of that city, are entirely too
lengthy for publication in our columns
They are, moreover, SO conflicting that
candid reader cannot arrive at the truth
with any certainty, and verdict can be
found only upon the results of official in
vestigation. Upon two points the ac-
counts directly contradict each other
Journals in the interest of the American
party assert that the foreigners were pre-
disposed to violence, and that although
every facility was afforded them to vote,
they manifested their riotous inclinations
by unprovoked attacks on peaceable ma
tive citizens. The Democratic Journals
on the contrary, assert that the polls were
in the possession of Know Nothing bull
lies, who maltreated foreign voters, and
that the provocation came from the Ma
tives. In one respect all accounts agree
that the Irishmen fred from houses in
discriminatory, upon Americans passing,
and in one instance n man was shot who
was quietly riding in a buggy with his
wife.

p9~ A number of the Irishmen, en-
gagged at the Forge Cut" on the ID.
l.. and w. Railroad, near this place, met
at the liquor shanty of Peter Brown,
situated at the lower end Of town, yester-
day, and there enacted some of the most
discraceful scenes, the citizens of that part
of the town have been forced to witness
for a long time, viz +: divesting themselves
of their clothing and fighting in a state
of nakeduess. This kind of proceeding
was kept up till near o'clock last eve
ming, when Brown, the owner of the shan
ty, threatened a number of the citizens,
standing on the pavement, directly oppo-
site, with some act of violence. Brown
then advanced to the opposite side of the
street, when he was arrested and taken
before Esquire Du.ot, for hearing. The
Justice found him in such a state of intox-
ication, that he did not deem it advisable
TO give him hearing, and committed him
TO Jail.
Shortly after Brown was placed in the
hands Of the officers, an attack was made
upon the Shanty, the whisky barrels were
tumbled into the street, the heads broken
IN, liquor set on fire, and the Shanty
Tazed.
This is rather summarily way of aba
ting nuisance, but we presume that those
who participated in this affair, are willing
10 abide the consequence.

Matrimonial Infdelity.

A somewhat singular case came up a
the Police Office in Rochester, N. Y, {
few days ago. A man about As year:
Of age, named Patten, was brought up
charged with deserting bis family, hi.
wife appearing as the complainant. The
family consisted of the wife and three
children, one an infant.
The wife stated that Patten had left hel
without support, and was cohabiting will
another female, somewhat her junior
Patten did not deny that he had ceased
to live with his wife, and had taken to hi,
bosom another woman; but he attempted
to show that bis conduct had been proper
He then went on to state that many years
ago, when first married, he and his wife
lived together in harmony, because theil
views on spiritual matters coincided. He
said when the Second Advent doctrine
which the vulgar called Millerism-wa:
preached, he and his wife both embraced
the faith Of the Savior, In later vcaTT:
he became convinced that the seventh in.
stead of the first day of the week was the
Sabbath, and on this point his wife har.
monized, and all went on smoothly
About year ago question came up as
to the resurrection, and on this point they
could not agree. He concluded, after
closely consulting his Bible, that the res
direction was only spiritual one. His
wife insisted that the body was to be
raised also Here there was an irrecon-
cileable difference, and one that Patten
thought was sufficient to lead to a separ-
alton. He said that be could not live
with young woman who did not har-
monize with him in his views on spiritual
matters, and had therefore, forsaken his
wife, and found female who thought as
he did on this point.
Here the wife, who had listened to bis
statement very patiently, interrupted him
by saying that she thought the newly
found female agreed with him quito as
we'll on carnal as on spiritual matters
Patten said that could not be shown by
evidence, and went on with his narrative,
concluding by asserting that there must
be harmony on spiritual things between
man and wife, to enable them to live to-
gether. He said he would not live with
a woman who did not think as be cid on
religious questions.
The magistrate required him to give
bail for the maintenance of bis wife and
and threatened him with an
other kind of punishment if he violated
the law in order to live in Spiritual har-
mony" with woman not his wife.

Extraordinary Declire in the Value of
HaV.

One week since, the article of hay CON-
manded in the New York market S34 per
ton. Yesterday it was offered in our own
market, and the sales were made at Sl2
per ton. Thus in one week, there has
been decline of nearly sixty-six per cent,
As a matter of course the article sold last
week was old hay, while that low offer
ing is the new crop. The decline is ex-
planned and it gives the best assurance
that the crop of this season is munifcent
Farmers, who have this year sown but
the same area of ground, are rewarded
with two-thirds larger returns than they
were last season. 1t is true that the pro
tracted rains did damage the out stand
ing crops to some extent, but the loss sus'
tanned is quite immaterial when the ex.
cess of growth is taken into account. Ir

0ur National Debt.

While we are boasting of our surplu:
Of twenty-five millions in the Treasury
and our small debt of fifty millions, it is
well enough to note the fact that the a,
mount of claims already prepared for the
Court in Washington is over three hun
dred millions, exclusive oftbe French Spo-
liation bill, which claims five millions
We Opine that many claims will be thrown
out by the Court, which was established,
not for the purpose of spending the pub
lie money by satisfying imaginary claims,
but merely as an expeditions vehicle for
the settlement of disputed accounts.

trial of Geo. Debar, for the murder, few
days since, of the Meyer family, The
jury rendered verdict of guilty of mur-

while he was being conveyed back to Jail
guarded by the military, the mob made
a rush upon him, and the military giving
way, the prisoner was felled to the ground
by stone. The mob then fell upon him,
beating and mangling him in horrible
manner. They then tied rope about
bis legs, and after dragging him a con,
siderable distance thro the streets hung
him to tree with his head downwards.

4 farmer in Lehigh county, who has
kept large stack of hay for FIVE years,

be converted into one heap of manure,

years ago, it would have readily brought
ten times that amount.

An old gentleman. in New York city
lately experienced a severe sickness, dur,
ing which he exhibited a strange sort Of
monomania. One day he pretended that
he was dead, and requested that they
should lay him out with due propriety
which not being done, he stormed away
at his attendants, and threatened to haunt
them nightly. He thus continued to act
for several days, telling them it was abom-
Unable to keep him above ground for such
a length of time, and that he was fast NOR
tifying. A few nights ago, while no one
was in the room, he arose from bed, and
jumped from the 2nd story window, and
happened to strike in such manner that
he was not much hurt. He was deter
mined to 60 and bury himself. Strange,
ly enough, the fall perfectly cured him Of
the belief that he was dead, and be is
nearly recovered.
