GEN. Cary and the President.

The young man who writes the WASH
ington letters and prepares the Washing
ton specials for the Cincinnati Gazette, re-
Gently treated the readers of that journal to
series of corrections retractions, explain
ations, and apologies" among which we
find the following: .....
1t is due to Messrs. Delano and Hubhell,
as well as to General Cary, that the facts
concerning the statement so widely circu-
lated, that General Cary had, in public
speech at Delaware, accused Mr.. johnson
of being habitual drunkard, and that the
first named gentleman had reported it to
the President should be known. General
Cary did not denOunce the President as
drunkard in q public speech, but is only re-
ported to have said, in conversation. after
leaving Washington, that Mr.. johnson was
laboring under fit of delirium tren,eRS when
he made the speech of February 22d.
Neither Mr.. Delano or Mr.. Hubbell re-
peated it to the President.
The report came to Washington in this
way: A lawyer of position and influence in
Delaware, Ohio, wrote to Mr.. Hubbcll Civ
ing the above statement as one made by
General Cary on his way West from WASH
ington, and further saying that it was max
ing considerable stir in Delaware, and they
were all anxious to know the truth of it..
To this Mr.. Hubbell replied, that MIR. john
son, so far from being intoxicated on the
occasion referred to, it was not believed
here that he ever INDUCED in the use of
liquor. Shortly after Mr.. Hubbell visited
Delaware, and three of the Professors in
one of the colleges there came to talk over
the same matter with him, one of them say
ing he was inclined to believe Gen. Cary,
and to think that the President really had
the delirium tremens when he made his
speech. Mr.. Hubbell reported what he
knew to be the general belief here, name
ly: that the President is entirely correct in
his habits, so far as the use of intoxicating
drink is concerned. The substance of these
conversations became known here, and fl
nally reached the ears of Mr.. Johnson,
without the knowledge of Mr.. Hubbell or
through his agency. Mr.. Delano was not
connected in the matter in any manner
whatever. t.'t-'.

The CaiIIz Bank Robbery.

The Chief of Police of Pittsburg pro-
nounces the Cadiz bank robbers unexpe-
rieneed thieves. He says: They travelled
together, and never separated from the
time of the robbery till their encounter with
the police. At farm yard, where they
encamped on Monday, they left package
of nine thousand dollars in Government
bonds, which we're found by an honest
farmer and returned to the bank. Near
the place where the police overlook them
they dropped one hundred thousand dollars
in bonds, which were also returned to the
bank. In dunghill, near the bank, at
Cadiz, two bags of silver coin were found
which the robbers had partly buried. This
was recovered yesterday morning. The
banks loss, as it now stands, is but thirty
five thousand dollars in Government notes.
The two thieves who made their escape
have not been captured. They were last
seen floating down the Ohio river in a skifF
which they had stolen from its mooring,
below Lagrange. The thief who was
wounded in the arm by a shot from the
police is by no means dangerously injured.
Taking them together, Chief Hague says,
they are rough, uncouth set of men, who
are not possessed with intelligence suffi-
cient to be classed as professional thieves.n
The four prisoners are securely locked up
In the Cadiz jail awaiting their trial.

[From the PadIlcah lIsrald. April 27.l

[From the Paducah Herald, April 2II
a TKoUBIE WITH NEoRoEs.- difficulty
occurred last Friday evening, on the farm
of James Key, ab0lIt six miles below Flor
ence, in which three negroes were killed.
The circumstances, as related to us by a
gentleman who heard them given in the
Immediate vicinity, are these:
Key had In his employ about l50negroes,
large number of them discharged SOL
dIers. They were rolling some barrels OF
meal into the yard, when Kew told them
not to handle the barrels so roughly. Upon
this one of the negroes replied: You had
better 90 back to the house aud stay there,
you d-d gray-headed old raseal,n and i'm
mediately attacked Key. lie threw him
down and took pistol away from him.-
Two other negroes then came up, and took
the pistol away from him aud handed itback
to Key. The negro made u second attack,
whereupon Key shot him down, and re-
treated to the house aud barricaded the
door. In few minutes the house was sur
rounded by about seventy-five negroes, all
armed. They Battered down the door, and
as they entered he killed two of them with
a double-barrpled gun. The negroes re-
treated. They attempted to fire the house,
but the majority opposed 1t, aud 1t was
abandoned.
In the meantime, news of the affair got
to Florence. and IL squad Of men went down
to the scene of action, summoned every one
of the negroes to appear at court as wit
nesses against Key, arrested him and put
him in Jail. This was done to protect him
from the infuriated negroes. He will OF
course stand his trial. The citizens throughH
out that country are considerably alarmed,
fearing general rising Of the negro popu-
latiou .'.' ..N ..i .''

A climax of RIunders.

Among the humorous anecdotes of fifty
years ago, we find the following: ...
In debate in the British House of Com
] mons, the Chancellor of the Exchequer OBJ
served with great emphasis that in the
prosecution of the war then in progress
every man ought to give his last guinea to
save the remainder. "'-
Mr.. Vandelure said that, however that
might be, the tax on leather would be Sc
verely felt by the bare-footed peasantry oi
Ireland. f9"

mightbe remedied by making the under

. The Gibson indictments. .NOllied.
Near the close of the late term of our
Court of Common Pleas, Attorney General
West entered nolle or refusal further to
prosecute in each of the two indictments for
embezzlement of the public moneys, pend
ing against VIM. II. Gibson, Treasurer of
State during the administration of Gov
ernor Chase. These indictments had been
pending in Court for about ten years, and
for various reasons the defendant has never
been brought to trial upon either of them.
They are now, by the action of the Attorney
General, thrown out of Court. When
larger criminals thus "go unwhipt of JUS
tlce," it is no wonder that smaller ones re-
gard law as q cob-web. ...f "a
