that this somewhat notorious fallen Priest had q

property by one Lotus, who refused to say how

For graphic sketch of this gentleman, by the
mastery hand of Prentice, of the Louisville Jour
nal, see apother column. We have omitted por-
ton of the article which is alluded to in tho follow
ing paragraphs in the Louisville Journal of the

JAMES B. CLAY orrsctio,,-We regret the &C.
currence of an error in our article in the Journal
of yesterday in relation to this man. We said that
he did not attend his fathers funeral We had not
the slightest doubt of the truth of this for the in
formation was sent to US on Wednesday evening
through one of our assistants by relative OF the
Clay family as respectable gentleman as lives in
Kentucky, and this gentleman suggested that j.
b. O. probably absented himself from the obseS
quies on .ccount Of resentment at not having been
invited % tile death-bed.
But our informant was mistaken. James B. Clay
did attend the funeral and of the spirit and tenn
per manifested by him upon that solemn and aw-
full occasion we have nothing to say. For our own
sake, as much as for his, we are anxious to AVOID
doing him even the semblance of injustice ~.

THEY BEGIN TO SMELL BRrMsroNE.--A prom
inent Democrat of Indiana, high in Office, writes
to his friend in this city that Indiana has gone

in Illinois, informs him that that State is in the
same predicament.
Now both these States were claimed by the
Union, the other day, as sure for Buchanan, yet,
we opine that Lieut.. Governor Willard and Sena-
tor Bright being both on the ground, win be
regarded as more reliable witnesses than the editor
of the Union, whose sphere, of vision is limited by
the width Of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Congressional debate, foreign correspondence,
multitudinous communications, and nearly every
thing else, to appropriate our space to the pro-

ance of its deliberations deserves to have its aims

Hon. HUMPHREY MARsHALL.-The Louisville
Journal OF the 18th instant, thus announces the
arrival of COL Marshall at his residence
Col. Marshall arrived in our city yesterday
morning. Last night after only few hours
notice, an immense throng assembled at the Court
House to greet him. His speech was a powerful
one 1t was calm, frank and extemporaneous, but
replete with patriotic appeals and unanswerablo
arguments. He appealed not only to the hearts
but to the judgments of the people. Col Marshall
is deservedly favorite with the citizens of Louis
vile, and now occupies the proudest position of
any Representative in Congress. He has achieved
for himself national reputation, and his remarks
are worthy Of the earnest consideration of our
people. As soon az we can find room in our
paper we shall publish an abstract of his speech
last night. 1t carried conviction to the minds of
all who heard it that it was the duty Of every pat
riot to give bis support to the National American
candidates.

The demand for 1908 is better than for warrants
of any other size. This arises from the fact that
there is a small amount of land subject to private
entry, and the 1905 are sought for by pre-emp.
tors, who are taking advantage of the present low
prices Of warrants TO perfect their titles. The
closing up of the land Offices in the West does
not preclude the preetnptors from proving their
claims The supply of 1905 is very large, and they
must continue dull.
For the reason stated in our last report We do
not, however, think that the market will fall much
below present rates, if at all, and may advance OF
decline figure.
The Pension Office, having got through with the
bulk of claims under the act of 1855, are now

That portion of the American party of New York
which boted from the National Convention of Feb
ruary %, and afterwards, in connection with their
boiling brethren from New England, nominated
Fremont and Johnston for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, recently held n convention al
Syracuse n'the same day with the Republican
Convention.
These friends Of George Law made proposition
to the Republicans, that if the latter would nomi-
nate Law for Governor, they would abandon John
ston and support Dayton. But the Republicans
refused to give Law any higher office than that of
member Of the Central Committee. A large portion
of the Johnston Americans then bolted the whole
Republican nominations, and called convention
at Rochester on the 23d--the same day with the
American Convention. In their call for this con-
vention. they condemn in indignant language the
conduct of Law, Hammond Schaeffer, & Co., for
their attempt to betray the North Americans into
the hands of the Fremonters They will also issue
an Address to the people of the State.
The result of this affair is easily foreseen. The
North Americans, as they style themselves, WILL
on the 23d, coalesce with the true Americans, and
thus add several thousands to the American vote of
the State. The Old-line Democrats in New York,
are already coming over in battalions and grand
divisions, and no earthly power can prevent the
electoral vote of New York from being cast for
Fillmore and Donelson by at least thirty thousand
majority

] notice that the recent correspondence of Prof.
Wier, relative to Fremont's Catholicism, has con-
nected the name of Captain Scammon, of the Army,
with the presentation of the Protestant gift book
by Prof. w. to Fremont. This mention has brought
out the important facts proving Fremont to have
been Catholic Capt Scammon, of Fremont's
service, and brother of Hon. John Y. Scammon, of
Chicago, is an intimate friend and old companion
of Fremont. He was stationed in this city for sew
eral years, and has many warm friends here among
the most respectable of citizens He used to speak
often of COL Fremont, while here, and his CONVEX
sation is fresh in the memory of his friends and as
sociates while here. Capt. Scammon is Roman
Catholic He was formerly an Episcopalan, I
think. In his references to Fremont he has often
told his friends here that he was converted to
Catholicism By Lieut.. Fremont haaselfl that
Fremont was a decoted C0tholic, and presented
such arguments to his mind as Induced him to EN-
brace the same faith.
Here, then, is evidence of the most tangible and
positive kind that Fremont is Roman Catholic,
and not of the ordinary kind, either for he was
even preaching it, and making converts to his fath
Can Americans, who have ever belonged to the

doubts this statement, let them apply to Captain

it might reflect on Fremont's political prospects

Der and state his conversations, are gentlemen
