IRON jacksonville, Kentucky, under date of the 18th
VI May last gives very glowing account of scene
Cnat occurred between Hon. B. L Clark, democratic
candidate for governor, and Hon. Archie Dixon late
united States Senator from Kentucky. Mr.. Clark
was present to fulfill appointment and address the
people, and runor had it that Mr. Dixon to re-

lounos that he was Caholic. Mr.. Clark STAN ped
The report false. We quote from the correspon-
dent as follows:
was true, he said, that short time prior to the
death OF his first wife she had attached herself to the
Catnolc church; that she had exercised her own
VolltIon IN the matter, and that he had and
never would attempt either 10 control exercise any
agency IN determining the partiay of any person or
persons Tor any peculiar religion 1t was matter
between themselves and their God He had carried
out the wishes and request that fell from the lips OF
MS dying wfe-that her daughters might be educated
at Catholic seminary of learning He could not
have done otherwise without being recreant to every
noly impulse of the human heart, and unfit to be
remembered as the husband whom she while living
nad blessed with every endearment and afec-
tlon OF her pure heart"
In answer to the charge that he was drunkard-
" Mr. Dixon arose from his seat, and for his friend
pronounced it as malicious falsehood. Il have.
salo MT. Dixon been long acquainted with Mr.
Clark, and | take pleasure in bearing testimony to
MS many excellent qualities. We have served to-
gether in the legislature of our State-subseouenty
IN the convention that remodelled the constitution
where, shoulder TO shoulder, together we baed for
the great and vital principles of the constitution of
our noble State-as counsel for parties engaged at
law, and on all occasions have not only found him
bringing to the discharge of his official duties indus

know the chvalrous Dixon to be incapable of, and
nothing but strong desire of justice between man
and man prompted him to dscaim for his friend any
aspersion calculated 10 do him an niury.''
After Mr.. Clark had closed his able and powerful
speech, calls were made for Mr. Dixon That gen.
tleman in reply to the call, began says the
pondent, by complimenting Mr. CLARK in the highest
manner. He said:
g come here, fellow citizens, not to make
any set of men, parties Or principles, to take
issue with my friend Clark - not to his

Mr.. Dixon went on in like strain at greater length
but want of room compes US to stop.
