A COMMUNICATIONS FROM JUDGE LYHCH.
The following, Which Is from late num-
Der of the Louisville Courier, illustrates
the state Of affairs now existing:
Judge Lynch sends us the following
communication, under postmark of Brum-
field, KY, and we publish it for the infor-
nation Of the public.
Wrong rights no man. Public justice
cannot be conserved by public crime. If
Kentucky, by we know not what inexpli-
cable transmutation, has been brought
within the jurisdiction Of courts known to
no law, human or divine, she cannot too
soon be blotted from the map Of the Re-
public
HEADQUARTERS, February 81, 1867.
" Editors Louisville Courier:
"Certain persons having taken adyan-
tage Of our raid on the Danville Jail to or
der several of the most prominent men
and best citizens Of that place from their
houses, we deem it duty to ourselves
and those thus ordered to state that the
orders were given with no authority from
Judge Lynch.
"With the view Of quieting the appre-
tensions of some of our citizens, we unani-
mously adopt the following resolutions:
"Resolued, That Judge Lynch will not
be influenced for or against any man by
his political opinions, be they what they
may. s#.
"Resolred, That the citizens ordered
from Danville be, and they are hereby, re-
quested to return to their homes, where
they will, if necessary, receive our pro-
lection.
"Resolued, That hereafter we will give no
man orders, either written or verbal, to
leave the country, as we prefer hanging
rogues to driving them oil to prey upon
other communities.
"ReSolUed, That the Louisville Courier,
having the widest circulation, be requested
to publish the above preamble and resolu-
tions. JUDGE LYNCH"

Hendricks said Mr.. Voorhees, had been en-

From Richmend-An Interview with
Governor Peirpeint-The Railroad
ruterests Of virginia. v

Correspondence OF the Cincinnati Commercial
-. BY invitation OF Governor
Peirpoint called Upon him, and had
free conversation In regard TO the present
state Of affairs. alluded TO the REMARKS
Of Speaker Baldwin in regard to the Orr
Johnson compromise. He said that he
should be opposed TO any measures looking
toward the disfranchisement Of the poor
whites, though most likely for very differ
snt reasons from those that influenced
many others. He said that the ballot was
safer in the hands Of the so-called poor
whites than in that of the aristocratic
classes, and justified his statement by the
fact that the latter have been, and are, the
enemies Of the country. He, however,
declared himself in favor Of general free
school system, TO be supported by taxa
ton, the benefits Of which should be en-
joyed by the children Of the State with
out respect to condition or color. He re-
CARDS rudimental education, compre-
bending reading, writing, grammar, and
arithmetic, an inherent right of every
ENTHUSIASTICALLY because those who are
without knowledge of these branches are
excluded from many Of the avenues of
successful labor, all of which shoald be
open, BY right, to every member of the
community. The Governor can but re-
gard the political condition of his State as
gloomy, and bereft of all promise for the
present.
THE RAILROAD INTEREST.
The Legislature is engaged in schemes
to consolidate the railway interests Of the
State, and to encourage the construction
of line of road which shall connect Rich
mond with the Ohio river. General Ma
hone, whose name is connected with the
defence of Peter sburg, is leading spirit
in these enterprises. He is thoroughly
reconstructed thinks it best to con-
cede to every demand of Congress-set-
tie the political conditions of the country,
and devote every energy to the recupera-
ton Of the impoverished land. / met him
at the Governors mansion, and hence heard
something in regard to his railroad plans.
The Governor playfully said that the Go
vernment Of Virginia was comprised of
four departments: the Executive, the Ju-
dicial, the Legislative, and the Lobby. i
presume the General did not care to be
regarded as member of the last-named
department, but he was in Richmond to
engineer his railroad projects through the
Legislature. His aim is to connect Hamp-
ton Roads, one of the finest harbors on the
coast, with the West by q railway which
shall pass through a section Of Virginia
rich in minerals and other natural re-
sources. His plans are comprehensive
and feasible, and their success would add
greatly to the prosperity of his State, and
be of great Importance to Cincinnati, as 1t
would give TO her another continuous rail-
way route to the Atlantic seaboard.

WASTED TIME.

Alone in the dark and silent night,
With the heavy thought of vanished year,
When evil deeds come back to sight,
And good deeds rise with welcome cheer ;
Alone with the spectres of the past,
That come with the old years dying chime,
There glooms one shadow dark and vast
The shadow of Wasted Time.
The chances of happiness cast away,
The opportunities never sought,
The good resolves that every day
Have died in the impotence of thought;
The slow advance and backward step
In the rugged path we have striven to
climb;
How they furrow the brow and pale the lip,
When we talk with Wasted Time!
Had we boarded time as the miser's gold,
Striving our need of good to win.
Through the summers heat and the win
ter's cold;
Shrinking from naught that the world could
do;
Fearing naught but the touch of crime;
Laboring, struggling, all seasons through,
And knowing no Wasted Time!
Who shall recall the vanished years;
Who shall hold back this ebbing tide
That leaves US remorse, and shame, and tears,
And washes away all things beside;
Who shall give US the strength cen now,
To leave forever this holiday rhyme,
To shake off this sloth from heart and brow,
And battle with Wasted Time.
The years that pass come not again.
The things that die no life renew;
But cen from the rust of his cankcring chain
A golden truth is glimmering through;
And to him who learns from errors past,
And turns away with strength sublime,
And maketh each year outdo the last,
There is no Wasted Time.

thrills to my heart, which bounded
within me. But even then my mind
was made up. "This must not be- ~ l
said. 81 should be the worthless crea-
ture have been called if I consented" "
"You refuse me Alice! You, whom I
so love, so adore! All! 3! why did tell
you? Why did you force me to speak
before l had chance of success p
| burst into tears. A word more and
l should have fallen on his neck; but I
now felt my weakness, and waving my
hand, which he had allowed to drop, L
hurried to the house. Nor did l feel
safe from myself there. l stayed only
to write a note of farewell to Mrs Rush
worth, and then stole out unperceived,
and made my way home. l came before
my mother like a spectre.
"What is the matter ?" she cried,
scanning my pale face and staring eyes
"In Heavens name, speak out" II
have nothing to say, mother, except
that 1 have come back" | replied.
"But don't let that trouble you. l can
go out again in the same capacity, or as
governess." Gas a governess" she
cried, seizing me by the shoulders, and
shaking me violently. "You shall go
out as bride, and before you are a
month older, too! I'll bring George
Lyttleton here tomorrow, and take care
how you behave to him. Now you can
go to bed.'
What night of misery 1 passed-as
if had been criminal on the eve of
execution Rather would I die, indeed,
than give my hand to George Lyttleton.
Never-such was my resolve-never
would l wed any one but Alfred, and
him 1 had refused. 1 remained in my
room in the morning, fearing to meet
my mother, and considering how l could
escape her tolls. She did not summon
me down, and after a time, the servant
came and announced that she had gone
out-on what errand | knew too well.
Hence my heart quailed when I heard
a carriage stop ct the door. There was
a stir in the passage 1 listened till my
ears throbbed, and then all was quiet.
| darted to the stairs, and met the serv-
ant ascending, but did not heed what
she said. The parlor-door stood open,
showing me Mrs. Rushworth within,
and 1 sprang forward, and sank at her
feet.
"My dear child, why did you leave
me?" she said, bending over me, and
pressing kiss on my cheek. I looked
round, and uttered cry; for there
stood Alfred, too. He smiled now, and
caught me in his arms.
And what my mother threatened came
to pass. I became bride before I was
a month older-but the bridegroom was
Alfred Rushworth.
