Inotice in your publication Of the 14th inst.
what: purports to bo history Of the Hon.
Johp;A. Ka.son divorce case, as given by an
IoWa!paper. Being familiar with the facts in
the case, am prompted through friendship
Tor our able Representative in Congress to
correct some Of the statements in such pub
lished account ofthe unhappy affair."
Mr.! Kasson made no confession Of guilt OF
the charges OF inddellty on his part. He did
not meet his wife In this city, on his return
from Washington, and coutess TO her the
truth Of certain charges against him Of adnl-
terry with certain persons.
The attorney Of Mrs. kasson notified her
husband by letter Of the intention Of bis wife
to commence snlt for divorce, and that the
bill woull charge him with adultery With GER
tain persons named, and with others unknown.
On his (Mr. Kasson's) arrival ln this city,
the office Of the attorney Of his wife, for the
purpdee Of seeing the petition for divorce
and tic charges against him. Upon e1amIn-
atlon he found changes OF adultery By him
with certain persons, which he denied. and
stated that he should resist such accusations.
He finally agreed with the attorney TINT II os
wife would stl Ike out the obicct1ona1 pafs =,

On Thursday afternoon last, Mr.. james
Burke md wiie, and John Kelly, wife aud
daughter, residing Just without the limits Of
this city, On the Rochester 1oad, IN attempts
ing to cross the South Fork OF the Sansamou
river, near Breekenridge's MUls, about twelve
miles from this city, were all drowned. It
appeaEs from all ne can learn about the IN.
fortunate affair, that the persons above refer
red to, and a young man and young lady,
whose names we did not learn, had been to
Christian county to attend the wedding Of a
daughter Of one Of the parties, aud on asriv-
ing at The Fork on their retern, found it very
much sWollen. aud not wishing to be detain-
ed. tied the body Of the lumber wagon, In
which they were all riding, to the a1les, to
prevent It floating OF. After making all
things safe, as they supposed, the young man,
who was driving, started The ho1aes Into tho
stream to swim then across. On arriving
near the middle Of The stream the young man;
II Is said. became cntaneled IN the reius: and
IN some way. fell ont Of the wagon, which
altered the course Of the horses, and prevent
ed them from reaching the shore. The young
man aud the young lady referred to, succeed
ed In reaching the shore, but the balance Of
the party were drowned a. above stated.
Our Informant states that only two Of tho
bodies hare yet been found.

A coPPERI1EAp TRIUMPH.

The Presidents Endorsement Of the Copper
bcnd ticket In Connecticut, Is no step toward
the formation ofa new johnson party out of
Republican and Dcmocratic materials, but Is
the simple ratification, by the President, Of
the straight CopFcrhead ticket. Mr.. Joseph
E. English, the Copperhead candldate, is not
Republican and never has been. The con-
vention which nominated him was straight
''Dcmocrntic" d'ia4 Coppcrhead convention,
in which no Republican took part In nom
mating Mr. English It did not con-
suit the wishes Of the President, 80 far
as the world is get informed. In indors-
ing Mr. English, therefore, Andrew johnson
arrays himself openly, and without the pos
dbilfty Of denial or cayil, rs Coppcrhcad
politician, working hitherto secretly, but now
openly, to defeat the party that elected him.
We nre not glad that the President, by every
act Of his administration, from the issuing OF
his first reconstruction proclamation to this
hour, las steadily, daily. hourly, betrayed his
party. But We do rejoice that, having adopt
cd sucL course, he has at last thrown o[l the
mask 80 that there may no longer be any ex-
cuse On the part Of Republicans for support
ing him.
We believe that every Republican who has
co-opcrated with him mp TO this hour has
been more or less emphatirallv rebuked by
hl. constituency. The Republicans Of tho
Legislature Of Nevada administered so efec-
live rebukc toScnator Stewart that In defer
eucc to The voice of his State he unf,,zlcd the
standard OF universal suffrage. Senator
Cowan has been read out Of his party in
pepnsy1yauia, Senator Dixon, Of Copnecli-
cut, has openly united his fate With that OF
the Conpsrbeads Of his State, and viii stand
.or tali WITH thcm. Both Houses Of the lceis~
'1atura Of wisconsin h.ye by a txo-ti,Irds vote
condemned The course Of Senator poolittje,
Similar resolutions censurinr Senator Norton

1iaymond has found II fmnossfble to piocurc
the indorseuaent Of the UnIop clubs which re.
present and control his constituents. Thus
! one md alI tha politicians who have cast
