THE NOBLE COUNTY REGULATORS of
whose effective work brief mention was made
in our columns a few days since-are active
ly engaged in tracing out and breaking up
fraternity Of counterfeitprs, horse-thieves,
highwaymen and muiderers, whose head
quarters were IN that county, with ramifca-
tons extending all over the Northern por-
ton of the Union from Now York to the
Mississippi. If all accounts be true, this is
tho most extensive combination Of Williams
that ever existed in the Union. The capture
Of McDougal and Burnam and some others
gave the Regulators the means Of learning
the names of all connected with the band,
and the '.trail" is being followed up with
vigor and success. Besides hanging one
man-MeDougal-they have already cap
tured and hold in Jail seventy-six prisoners
charged with counterfeiting, robbery, and
murder, who will be tried at the next term
of the U. S. Court. Among the prisoners
are four charged with murder-the evidence
against them Is Of the strongest character,
part oft being confessions Of the murderers.
One of the arrests was made in church, of
a man named Hathaway, who was actually
preaching at the time. About forty thous-
and dollars OF counterfeit money has been Sc
cured, and bank with plates and material
for the manufacture of counterfeit notes, and
two mints for making counterfeit coin, are
also prizes of the Regulators. A third mint
has or will be captured soon. Over three
hundred names of the band not yet arrested
are in the hands of tho officers and arrests
will be made as fast rs possible.

Mr.. CARLnE, DEAR SlR:-In your paper
of this morning correspondent signing
himself 'FREE SCHOOL" says, in relation
to your recent report OF the examination of
the High Schools that "Mr. Wheeler, our
very efficient superintendent, said that be
heard from Mr.. whitlesey that the Catholics
were opposed to Free Schools" Upon this
assertion of your reporter (Which is a base
libel as every person who was present at the
examination las: Friday afternoon knows
your correspondent goes of half-cocked and
says he is ''sorry Mr.. Wheeler travelled so far
for his information, and TO a source not t all
acknowledged as friendly authority by the
church"
In the first place, Mr.. Editor, your reporter
maliciously perverted what did say at the
High School examination. / said on that
occasion, when my name was drawn into the
controversy, that some of the advocates of
the Old Charter were trying to make capital
on the streets by charging that the New
Charter was Catholic trick; and denounc-
ed the introduction of Sectarian influences in

of the School last Friday morning and IN
quired why it was that the Democrats were

political question. i denied that they were
doing so, and IN reply said the friends of the
Old Charter were making it Sectarian queS-
ton. This conversation was referred 10 by
Mr.. Wheeler at the High School examination
in the afternoon which called out my ''per-
sonal explanation" that your reporter, from
either want of sense or honesty, perverted
so as to make me say exactly the opposite o
what was said.
IN conclusion allow me to say tina. dom

Bright and Fitch's Case

From the proceedings in the Senate,
it is evident that the Leeomptonites are
struggling merely for time in the post
ponemept Of action upon Bright and
Fitch's right to their seats. They are
not prepared to perpetrate the outrage Of
voting them in, but they design to retain
the two spurious Senators in their seats
till the Lecompton Constitution has been
passed, when, yielding to inevitable neces
sity they will let the Bogii slide. If the
Southern Senators had resolved upon the
iniquity OF retaining them, they would
not haggie so long about the matter;
The repeated refusals of the Senate to
take up the consideration of the resolu-
ton in relation TO the Indiana Senators,
is an indication that they are only evad-
ing disagreeable decision Of the question
as long as they can, or until they have
accomplished their purposes. If driven
to decision now they will grant the
privilege Of taking testimony to prove
what will be Of no use to prove, and
while this farce is going on, the Lecomp-
tonites will retain the services of the
bogus Senator's. While committing this
fraud upon the State Of Indiana, they are
doing Minnesota wrong equally iniqui-
tous by keeping her two honestly elected
Senators from their seats.
