fRENTlCIANA.-Pren of the Lou
isville Journal, has world wide reputa-
tion for the brilliancy of his wit, and the
bold and fearless enuneiation Of his SEN
timents. What is more, he is generally
sound to the core. and his big heart
beats in unison with the best impulses of
the people. We Gull from his paper of
the 11th February, the following strokes
of wit and acute dissection of a modern
heresy. Kentuckians should be proud
of their able and independent editor.
A lady correspondent, who processes
to be Mortified at the indelicacy of our
paper, threatens for the future to set her
foot on every copy she sees. She had
better not. Our paper has is in it.
Locofoco politicians are everlastingly
denouncing the ''credit system" Well,
during the late panic there was no such
thing as credit. How do Locofoco pol
iticians Ike the workings of their own
system -!
Three rich farmers of Western Mas
sachusetts have been victimized by
man peddling compost manure. They
give their signatures in favor of the ma
hure, and the rascal wrote money orders
over them.-ErcAange.
We advise these "three rich farmers
of Massachusetts" to spread suitable
compost over their brains. 1t would be
capital speculation.
We see a good many comments in
the papers upon the affair in the House
of Representatives, in which Mr.. Keitt
figured and was figured with so striking
ly. Mr.. Keitt certainly had tie floor
upon the occasion, and the floor had him,
and the two were Enthusiastically entitled
to each other. There seems, however,
to be some little dispute as to whether
Keitt fell by stubbing his toe or was
knocked down by an enemy or pulled
down by friend.
One statement, apparently true, is
that Keitt disappeared Immediately af-
ter rising from the floor. Mr. Grow gain
ed some eclat in the affair, and Keitt lost.
OroW grew, ana heltt klte0:
Keitt grasped Grow by the throat
He is not the first individual that has
had a downfall from being too grasping.
We are not surprised at the indigna-
tion of the fire-eaters at the knocking
down of Mr. Keitt. He is the peculiar
representative of the free eating party in
the House of Representatives Of
course blow under his ear was equally
blow under the multitiidinous ears of
the whole party. Any one fre-eater, in
nlluding to his fall, may appropriately
say to his brother fre-eaters-
There you and and all of us fell down.
"While Crows huge fist was ''fourished over u.s.
The New York Erening Post, in an
article on the disgra ceful occurrences in
the L S. House of Representatives, on
Saturday morning. says it was rather
pity to knock Mr. keitt down, for, if his
reported behavior was any indication of
his bodily condition, he would soon have
reached the floor of his own motion.
This may explain the secret of Mr..
Keitt's avowed ignorance as to whether
he was Knocked down or not.
1t is said that the regular New York
pugilists. Tom Hyer, Jack Morrissev,
Dublin Tricks, and others, are very in
dignant and intend to hold meeting
and give formal expression to their in
dignation on account of the gross viola
tion of the established rules of the ring
in the fights upon the floor Of Congress
They declare that the members of the
House have forfeited all claim to the
title of gents.
1t is said that members of the Cabinet
were seen in daily attendance upon the
sessions of the House of Representatives
during last week Such attendance is
unusual, but not unnatural. We are
glad to hear of it. 1t is high time that
the Administration were laying its ears
to the ground to catch the real measure
of that rumbling which heralds the ad-
yancing tread of Democratic opposition.
The Richmond South says that tie
growing wheat in Virginia never pre-
sented a more encouraging aspect at
this season of the year than at present.
-Erchange.
Then the wheat of Virginia is infinite
ly better off than her politics, which is
full of tears.
Levi J. North, the great Circus rider,
is the Democratic candidate for Alder
man in the third ward of Chicago. We
presume he was selected on account of
his well known skill in riding two horses
at once.
The Democratic editors are very fond
of fattcring Irish-boni citizens when
they think that something is to be made
by it. but we see that the Richmond
South, presuming that Senator Shields,
of Minnesota, supports the views of
Douglas, sneers at him as "Paddy
Shields" That Buchanan organ, in
sneering at Gen. Shields's Irish nativity,
sneers at every Irishman in the land.
An English paper says that superb
