CIyclNsari L)uIsvILLE.-The Louis
vile Courier says the time was when GIN
cinnati was the lMsatopa,is of the West,
but that that day has passed by and Louis
Vile now stands first. The Courier says:
The facts are just these: Louisville has
got greatly the start of Cincinnati this year
in her sources, and the supplies of wheat
and -four are pouring in freely. Prices
have receded TO fair ra:es, and while we are
selling four at Sc 90, Sc so and Sc u.s. the
Cincinnatians are asking S. 90 to So IS rer
barrel. Well we will let them have As
much as they want, and now they excel in
nolhin Q bu, villainous, poisonous whisky
On tina, point they carry the palm"

A REFurATIoS AND CHALLEseE.-W. n.
Haldeman, OF the Louisville Courier pub
fishes long narrative in that paper, the
object of which is TO express his regret that
he joined the Know Nothings. He says
tina, a few weeks ago, he yielded TO the ur-
gent entreates of friends in whom he had
confidence. and joined the order, yet against
his own better Judgment, and fearing all
the time that he was doing wrong, but hop
ing that some repnsed features Oft the organ
ization were not as rePulsiye as had been
stated. We think it rather childish in a
grown man thus 10 whine over an act which
he committed with his eyes open. II be
thinks that he acted foolishly in joining the
order, the wisest course would be to say as
little about the folly as possible. He how
ever says
"The order has begun the war on US
We accept the chsllenge. and pledge our
selves that before we are done with an ex-
position OF its defurmties, Know Nothing

NOW LOOK OUT.


THE following communication from
DR. Buchanan, of Cincinnati, to the N
Y Tribune, discloses the fact that the
whole Rag Money System is in danger
of being blown sky high by the magic
power of Photography. Counterfeiters
will not be slow in availing themselves
of the discovery, and then they will be
able to deceive the very elect among the
money changers. DIR. Buchanan says:
1 have just witnessed some illustra-
tions of the art of Photographic Coun-
terfeiting, which 1 deem highly impor-
tant, not only to bank officers, but to
the public at large. Mr.. Fontayne, OF
this city, on of the best daguerreotypists
in the world, has recently made several
Photographic copies of bank notes, which
far surpass, in the perfection of their
details, anything which has ever been
done in the old way of counterfeiting.-
When these photographs are carefully
taken on proper bank note paper, they
defy detection either by the naked eye
or by microscopic inspection.
One of these photographs, from $40
bill, was deposited by Mr.. S. with other
bills, in the Life aud Trust Company,
and was received without suspicion, He
then informed them that there was a
bad nill among them the money was
re-inspected, and he was positively as
sured that it was all good, aud request
ed to point out the defective bill; he
did so, and after genural examination
by the officers present, the bill was
again pronounced good. Another trial
was made by presenting pho geographic
copy of bill at the principal Banking
Houses. At the Banks of Smead, Col
Lard & Hughes, Gregory & Ingulsbee,
and some others, the photograph was re-
ceived, and after careful inspection, was
pronounced good bill. A still more
rigid test was made by presenting pho
tographs and genuine bills to Mr.. Booth.
and other bank-note engravers. After
the most careful inspection, they were
unable to detect the Photographic
counterfeit, for as l have observed, the
minutest details are perfect under mi
croscopic scrutiny.
think it obvious from these facts
that our paper currency is in danger
GUS condition, and that it is necessary
to give the widest publicity to these
alarming developments. If any good
master of photography, can, in short
time, and at trifing expense, food the
country with spurious money, which
even cashiers, presidents, and experts of
every grade are unable to detect, we
have no security in our paper currency
It is not only our currency that is as
sailed by this art, but everything de-
pending on the humap pen is liable to
counterfeiting. Ones autograph may
be at any time affixed to bank check,
promissory note, will, deed, letter of
credit, or recommendation, or any number
of autographs may be affixed to any doc
ument the operator may please-the au-
tagraphs being SO perfect, that the wri--
ter himself could not detect an error.
