B9~We have, heretofore, been disposed to
credit the charges made against Col. ]. c.
Walker and the editors of the New Albany
Tribune, to malice. Charges of "corrup-
ton" bargain and sale, are so often and
unjustly made, that they should ever be re-
ceived with great caution. We confess,
however, that the letter of Col. Walker, pub
lished in the Sentinel, and the editorials that
have lately appeared in the Tribane, begin
to stagger our faith. Indeed, Col. Walker
almost openly avows the transaction, and
thinks most virulent abuse of Mr.. Heffren
whom we by no means wish to defend
a sufficient apology for it.
In his recent communication to the Sen
tiael, we find the following significant para
graph
Believing that the welfare OF our party
was dependent, in some degree, upon the
election of Democrats to the offices at the
disposal of the present Legislature, l did
much, as You know, and made some sacri-
fees, as ! now acknowledge, to effect the
success of the entire Democratic ticket
knowing at the time that my own election
was certain beyond peradventure. If,
through any instrumentality of mine, the
conflicting elements composing our General
Assembly were sufficiently united to secure
us Democratic victory, it is impossible to
conceive on what principle of justice or
honor, | must now be required to parade
any part of the many private interviews, or
private understandings, of which was cog
infant, which took. place previous to the
election "a
Doubtless Col. Walker is aware that when
matter is somewhat in the dark, people
generally conceive the thing to be worse
than, perhaps, it really is. Why not to
prevent them from harboring unjust suspi-
cions against himself and others who have
been implicated, explain more definitely the
nature of " the sacrifices made, and by what
fundamentally, 20 the conflicting elements
composing the General Assembly were suf
fciently united to secure Democratic vic
tory ~ Perhaps some of the " elements can
enlghten us on this point. Dotell US what
were the arrangements perfected prelimi-
nary to the election Col. Walker writes
very strong letter, but he has proved him.
seld to possess more ability in denouncing @
bad Senator, than in defending compromised
editors. Denunciations of Mr. Heffren by
no means establish the innocence of Mr.
Walker and others.

letter:
"But how much oftener is the hat to be

BE~An Extra Session of Congress begins
to be regarded as inevitable. The enormous
deficit in the Post Office Department, which
is found to be nearly double what the late
Postmaster General reported to Congress,
makes this move almost indispensable. 1t
will be seen from our regular dispatches,
that Mr. Buchanan has declared his inten-
ton to issue, very soon, Lis proclamation
for an extra session, the time to be agreed
on to-day in Cabinet Council. On account
of the Southern elections, it may be deferred
until August or SEPTEMBER Gin. Gaz.

A New USE FOR HUsBANDs.-Hu
are valuable and can be put to many uses
by their wives; but we saw a husband pat
to use yesterday, which was novel to us,
and amusing to many spectators. While
the wind was blowing up Vine street yes
terday afternoon, turning umbrellas inside
out, tossing down chimnies, and throwing
shingles and planks about, travel by crino-
lined ladies had perils. There was danger
of being blown away, as ladies cannot, like
vessels in storm, shorten sail and take in
canvass. There was also danger that the
hoops, like Banquos ghost, would not "down
at their bidding" During this perilous
gale, there came up Vine street couple of
newly married, and evidently from Ken
lucky or some other ofthe " rural districts.
But the wife was not beside her husband ;
she was beside herself with trouble. She
had crinoline appcndage Of fashionable
dimensions and shape, which was like the
people of Italy, continually rising. Never
had Bomba more difficulty in keeping down
his subjects, than did Madam in subduing
her rebellious skirts. But why marry, if a
husband can't be made useful? So thought
Madame, and behind her came her husband
with his body humbly bent towards the
pavement, while his hands held down the
silk skirts and iron framework, which gave
Madame so much trouble. The crowd--for
there was crowd upon the Post-office steps
looking about to see what was to be seen -
looked and jeered, but the husband went
upon his way to all outward appearance I'M
concerned. But a newsboy-one of the
sharp and impudent kinda sort of Mother
Careys chicken, seeking his living in the
storm, ran up to him, "Want Times, sir !
Only five cents - The reply was-well,
we don't want to put upon paper such Ian
guage as the injured man used. 1t was not
such as one usually hears in polite circles.
But didn't the poor fellow have an excuse
Wouldn't such heavy bale ofstraw as this
boys impudence, break the back of any
camel not to say STOPPING husbands? When
we last saw him, he was talking, evidently
snnldine, hut no held on to the hoops, and
Madame walked along as serenely as the
weather would allow.-Cn. Gaz.
