CARTRIDGE Box VS. BALLOT Box In
order to show what difference it makes
whether an election is carried on by the

The BURNING OF HERETICs-There is an old fund,
OF t2OO a year, which has fallen into dIsuse in the
hands OF the cor porajiun Of London 1t was left by
some person to detray the tx pense of burning heretics.
i COMPANY OF GIPsEYs The Trenton On. j.
Gazette says " There i an eucampment Of Gipseys
on the Branch Turnpike which appears to he popu-
lous, requiring twenty-six wagons for the transpor
tation OF themselves aud b. eage. They are encanped
on the edge of a piece of woods above the residence
Of MIR. Morgan Btakes, and appear to have established
a tolerably permanent settlement. The men buy,
sell aud trade horses; manufacture and sell baskets,
&c, and the women tell fortunes, discover stolen
goOi is and False money by all such methods.
NAPOLGoN-A correspondent of the Examiner
reviyes Il wonder that engaged serious consideration
in the closing days of the first empire. He says
"a wonderful mys;ery is involved in the name
: Napoieon.' 1t has been discovered that. by divid-
ing the word into seven parts, dropping the first let
ter each time, "a complete Greek sentence Is obtained,
revealing In IA most remarkable manner the character
of the man who made the same immortal. Thus

The words OF the sentence may be transposed thus

we have a Greek sentence translated thus 'Napo.

ter the audience fully appreciated and
richly enjoyed.
We have only referred very briefly
to some of the points in the Generals
speech, more particularly relating to
his competitor. His whole speech,
lasting one hour and three quarters,
was able, exhausting and concise, and
was heartily applauded by his hear
ers, who were fully satisfied that the
Union party had the right man on the
track to hunt down and drive into POI
litical obscurity the man who had been
faithless to the people and treasona-
able in all his acts. They bid him God
speed in the patriotic work. al
There are other points of his speech
which will receive notice in our next
issue, and as some of them are very
striking, will command the marked
attention of the voters of the District.
After the conclusion of the Gener-
ais address,
.s3o SAMUEL LANGLEY, ESQ.,,
of Henderson County, KY, was intro
duced by the Chairman, remarking,
Z" IF there is any Union man in Ken
lucky, he is before you tonight"
Some person in the house expressed
desire to see a rebel Kentucky
Union man, when Mr.. Langley opened
his remarks by saying he was the
Lincoln elector in 1860, which salts
fed the inquirer, and brought down the
house with rounds of applause. Mr..
Langley spoke, for few minutes, very
effectively, and was warmly greeted
by the audience.
After some stirring words of ex-
hortation by the Chairman, Mr.. Chan
dler, the meeting adjourned to Saturday
night, with three times three thunder
ing cheers for our gallant candidate,
the cause, and the Victory in October.

CHOLERA IN INDIANAPoLIs.-The

their midst The scourge is rapidly
diminishing in Cincinnati.

Sherwood, House until. they succeed

We understand it is their intention>to
remain for some considerable time,
and those desiring to consult them
will have an opportunity of obtaining
the services of physicians whose
reputation for skill and success is
well established. Their card will be
found in another column, and it is
their intention to commence in few
days the publication of series of
popular letters on the nature, causes
and treatment of diseases of the nose,
throat and lungs. The fatal preva-

from gentlemen of such experience

Justices Court.

BEFORE ESQUIRE STINsoN.-The
case of Silas Davis, of whose wife
whipping propensities we made men
ton yesterday morning, was disposed
of on Monday evening, the expense of
his innocent recreation being laid at
Sc 90 Silas did not have the means
to liquidate, and the Justice asked the
whipped wife how long she would like
him to be sent to Jail? She replied
that she did not want to have him go
to jail at all. The Justice suggested
that he would whip her again if he
were let off. NO" she said 6 I think
not" But the Esquire was not willing
to let justice go half appeased. An
other gentleman Of color coming along
consented to go his security, and he
was let go.
| Yesterday, Justice Stinson had not
a single case to adjudicate.
BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER. - A
singular coincidence was developed
before Esquire Walker yesterday,
such as is not likely to happen again
in an age. One Michael Mulloy filed
an affidavit setting forth that one
Michael Mulloy had robbed him, the
said Michael Mulloy first above men
toned, of greenbaoks to the amount
of S135. Michael Mulloy was arrest
ed and introduced to His Honor.
Esquire Walker, and Michael Mulloy
appeared against him as the prosecut-
ing witness. Michael Mulloy was
held to bail in the sum of $500, in
default of which Michael Mulloy was
sent to Jail for robbing Michael Null
10y. 1t is worthy of note that these
men, though of the same name, were
entirely unacquainted with each other
until the robbery took place, and are
not in the least related, so far as
either of them knows. 4
Peter Miller was tried by jury on
a charge of assault and battery com
mitted on the person of Lima
Schmucke. The jury could not see
the assault and battery by the light o.
the testimony, and brought in YER
dict of not guilty. Peter then turned
around and made an affidavit against
Martin and Lima Schmucke for pro
voking an assault and battery, but
after brief investigation the case
was dismissed.
