FOrney on buchanan and tho New
York Herald.

In JOHN W. FoRNEY's recent Address he
thus exhibits the disposition of BUCHANAN to
| lick the hand that smote him for support and
power. All know how abusive the New York
Herald was of him during the presidential
contest. Upon this, and the Heralds after
position with BUCHANAN, Col. FoRNEY COM
ments:
AT the time these articles appeared, Mr..
Buchanan said to me one day, taking up the
n. Y. Herald, while | was on a visit to
Wheatland, "Why am thus to be traduced
and pursued by this infamous knave? His
ears should be taken off in the public streets y
| never saw Mr. Buchanan more excited than
he was on this and other occasions under Ben
nett's unlicensed and cruel ISLANDERS, and
believe that it is to my prudence and compass
sion that Bennett is this day permitted to
walk Broadway with his long ears on his
scotch head well remember how, after the
campaign the first impulse of the Democrats
all over the Union was to have a settlement
with the New York Herald. That paper had
expended all Of its influence and good deal
of Freemont's money in trying to defeat Mr..
Buchanan. Thousands of Democratic editors
throughout the country felt that Bennett de-
served to be castigated, and at the solicitation
of a number of distinguished men then in
Philadelphia, l sat down and prepared asome-
what caustic article, showing him up in faith
full cOlOrs. Mr.. Buchanan astOnishcd me by
calling my attention to this article, and COM
planned of the proprietor of the paper for pub
fishing it. told him that had myself writ
ten it, and that had written it because it was
demanded by common decency, and by ordi-
nary respect for the gallant men who had
been traduced in that journal, and especially
for the thousands of struggling editors through
out the Union who had regarded the Herald
as his most Infamous, relentless, and savage
enemy. "Well," said he, 81 regret that |
have written to the proprietor of that paper
about this article, but desire that MIR. Ben
nett shall support my Administration" lean
now perceive that the man who was thus will
ling to court the most abandoned and most
infamous editor upon the face of the earth
the man who was thus willing to procure the
support of James Gordon Bennett after he
had poured the walls of utter and inconceiva-
BILE wrath upon his head, and after he had ira
duced the South betrayed the Republicans,
tion-was even at that day resolved in his
own mind to turn his back upon the gallant
men in this city and State, who had surround
ed him as with a wall of fire, and who had
carried him forward into the Presidency after
twenty years of hard, unremitting, and chiv
aric toll. For myself, l have only to say that
although Bennett has accused me of many
things, he has yet to speak of me as shame
lessly and as brutally as he has spoken of the
President of the United States.

ANOTHER "VEGErABLE CURIOSITY. The
editor of the Mankato Lndependent-t indi
vidual that saw cabbage staN fifteen feet
in circumference! has seen another won
der-this:
Mr.. NJ S. Walker, of this vicinity, has left
at our office large cabbage head, which is
surrounded, upon the same stalk, by fourteen
small but we'll defined and solid heads. 1t is
of the ordinary drum-head variety, and is a
vegetable freak of nature we never heard OF
before. 1t may be seen at our Office.
Speaking of cabbages, reminds us that Mr..
N. c. Conner, of this town has, growing in
his garden several good-sized solid heads Of
the vegetable, which are the product Of stalks

Bishop HUGHES on REQUESTS.

The attention Of Archbishop Hughes hav-
ing been directed to the decision of Judge In
graham in the case of DeGraw Us. Fitzpatrick,
published in the SIN, in which the Judge held
that bequest to the Roman Catholic Church,
for the good of the testator's soul, was void
for uncertainty, the Archbishop has addressed
letter to the Courier, in which he says
"The object of my soliciting space in your
columns, is to state, that | have not entered
or authorized any proceeding of a legal char
acter, in the case referred to. That so far as
know, the suit has been brought on by the
executors, with view to discharge, legally,
their own obligation. That have no fault to
find with he decision of the honorable Judge
who decided the question submitted to him
by the executors. That | know nothing, or
but very little, of the testatOr, or his heir
| THAI hi fortune, whatever it might have been,
| could not tempt me to do anything which |
| should think unjust, or unlawful, or dishonor-
| able. That in making his will, | think he
| committed great blunder, so far as his own
intention was to be carried out in using the
words, '.tor the good Of Ills SOUL" That his
| lawyer should have undeceived him in regard
to any such supersttiOus allusion, Git being
rational to suppose that the said lawyer was
bound to eliminate everything calculated to Vi
tate the poor mans intention, under our laws,
and under the almost certain decisions of our
Judiciary
This is the 10Th century and it is almost
out of the question for man in disposing of
his own property, to allude, especially in d.
rect terms, to anything 'for the good of his
soul" 1t is true, that his will could not take
effect till after his death, and It'll equally true,
that after his death the property which he left
could be of no use to his body. 1t might be
according to the Catholic belief to his soul.
But legislation and judicial Interpretation have
taken sufficient precautions against any such
superstitious allusion.
| have no doubt that in general sense, leg
islation is just, and, in the present instance,
am convinced, that the honorable Judge who
decided the case, decided it both according to
law, and according to what law makes to be
equity.
l could not, however, express in terms suf
ficiently energetic, my utter contempt for any
bequest or legacy which might come either to
me personally, or to the Orphan Asylum, OF
to the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, or in
deed to any charitable institution in my do
cese, which could involve directly or indirect
ly, reproach or a meanness, on the recipi-
ent or on the Catholic name.
John, Archbishop of New York"

ELECTION DIFFICULTY AT COLUMBUS, ANOKA
CoUNrY-ONE MAN PROBABLY KILLED--We
earn from gentlemen who came in from Co
lumbus yesterday, bringing returns of the
election there, that serious difficulty occur
red on Tuesday at the polls, resulting in the
death, probably ere this, of one man named
HOWARD, formerly Postmaster at Towards
Lake, q miles from the town of Columbus
lie was shot through the left lung by JOHN
KLERNER, Postmaster at that town.
1t seems that Howard, who is desperate
and notorious ruffian, was drunk and noisy,
endeavoring to get up fuss with every one
at the polls. KLERNER, who is quiet and
orderly person, endeavored to silence him,
when HOWARD made ferocious attack on
him with bowie knife KLERNER was pre-
pared for the desperate, luckily, and drawing
revolver, shot him though the breast before
he did him any injury.
DIR. c. GoRING, residing near Martins Lake,
few miles above, was summoned to his aid.
but his skill was unavailing. At the time orr
informant lett, HOWARD was not expected to
live half an hour. The ball had penetrated
the left lung, near the heart, inhicting fright
full wound.
Howard was the pest of the neighborhood,
having been engaged in numerous difficulties,
and at the time of this last one, had several
indictments pending against him, for assault
larceny and riots, &c. The shooting was
purely in selfdefence, as KLERNER was very
inoffensive and peaceable citizen. He is wei
known to all who have travelled that road, as
John" of the Columbus Tavern in which
the ARRAY happened.
HOWARD has quite large family. He was
living on farm owned by gentleman in St
Paul.
