Hon. s. s. COx's SpeecIl.

We, shall -on tomorrow publish the
speech of Hon. S. S. Cox, delivered at a
Democratic mass meeting at Bridgeport,
Conn.,, on the evening of the 20th.s The re-
porter makes this mention of it,
''The address of Mr.. Cox was delivered
in that orators happiest vein, and Wheth-
er in the mastery argument with which
he characterized the infamous Sherman bill,
or the trenchent wit with which he flayed
the woody horse, his remarks were enhtusi-
astically greeted, and will be productive of
good results" assTtJ WI
So our readers can prepare themselves for
a rich treat tomorrow, as the following
extracts will show:
Abiding to the record of Mr.. BARNUM,
Mr.. Cox said:
"If he has told the truth about himself
in his autobiography-a book that ought to
be entitled The RecOllections of a Success
full Scamp'-he has been from the first an
arrant trickster. You may rememb r his ac-
count of his bottle trick, when he cheat
ed his Uncle Aaron and Aunt Laura; his
old tin cups, which he passed off for good !;
his boast of selling cotton for wool, and the
wool and cotton fOrisilk and linen; his beans
and peas for ground coffee, and his corn
meal for ginger; clocks, with half the wheels
out of case, exchanged for regular time
keepers;s his SWindle OF the 1rlSh peddler !;
his confession IF being a convicted libeler;
and as the climax his counterfeited woody
horse and the original bill of sale from
Augustine Washington of Joyce Heath, the
venerable nurse of dear little George
Washington!' iEea I.or .s1-is. a.a.2!ra'"
- .'The show is over. Barnum's gone! &li9'
His earthly journey now is done
Ambition did his soul environ, sr[g9
He fell beneath man of iron. -
The Yankee people would not choose him,
But sent him stuffed into his Museum, 5gFT

[FrOm the Lexington CKy.) Observer aud Reporter.l
Has been finally decided by the Court of
Appeals. This case-in the length of time
of its continuance, the character of the con-
testants, the counsel engaged, and the cir
cumstauces surrounding it's perhaps the
mostremarkable in the history of Kentucky
Jurisprudence. With its merits we have
nothing to do. In 1895, John Breckenridge
and George Nicholas, perhaps the two
ablest and most distinguished men fu Ken
lucky OF their day, aad from whom have
descended men of perhaps equal intellect,
made contract with John Lee, an early
and wealthy settler, for the purchase of
Blackwell's claim for over $4,000 acres OF
land in what is now Bath county. Breck-
inridge and Nicholas, and perhaps others,
formed the original Iron Works Company
of that county Breckinridge sold to Wal
ter Beall and Nicholas taking mortgage ;
Beall and Nicholas sold to. Thomas Dye
Owings, taking mortgage. Lees execu-
tors made Breckinridge's estate pay the first
purchase money, and Breckinridge's heirs
sued to recover from BealPs, Nicholas and
Owines' estate the money thus paid. This
suit was commenced in 1871, and has been
constantly on docket ever since. Ii
was originally commenced in the Fed
eral Court, in which case " the cele-
brated Col. John Allen was one of the coun-
sci. Numerous and conflicting claims were
involved in this suit. The claims of Luke
Herman. Elliott. Meredith, Smith and 9TH
ers, all finally purchased by RohertWick
life, Sr..a who became largely interested,
and to whose skill. vigor and unyielding
determination may be principally assigned
the duration of the long struggle. The
most remarkable men of Kentucky for
three generations, have been connected
with this case either as contestants, law
yers, judges, witnesses, &c. Jnoa Breckin-

controversy between Robert Wickliffe, Sr.

war of giants. , 81 o

decided substantially in favor of Breckin-

Dirty Hypocrisy.

The Washington Chronicle publishes fear
full account of the sufferilgs of the Union
prisoners in the South during the war. we
have a distinct recollection that one OF
those prisoners, who went through tne
perils of Andersonville, was nominated by
the President for Collector of the port oi
Port Huron, and that his nomination was
promptly rejected by the Senate, though
his competency for the position was doubt
ed by no one. This fact gives a more SUB
stantial illustration of the sympathy which
Radicalism has for the sufferings of-Ou1

Bnngling Legislation.

1t appears that all the bungling legisla-
tion, in consequence of which the whole
country is suffering incalculably, is not
confined to the Republican Congress. The
Missouri Democrat Radically looks dissatis-
fiedlyat the circumstance that "Missouri
bonds do not yet materially rise in value, -
and attributes it to 'Sbunglihg legislation.''
Substantially to the same cause does it as
cribe the cause " for the low price of the
bonds of Tennessee" The Republican,
party rnle both Missouri and Tennessee
with an inflexible hand, and through
abungling legislation" !" do much damage
to the credit of those. States. Republican
partisan rule is, very expensive thing
everywhere. Wisdom counsels an imme-
diate change of parties.

The Cincinnati Gazette is of the opinion
if the Democrats were to reduce the Re-
publican majority in Cincinnati at the April
election, it would greatly encourage the
Democrats "all over the State to prepare
actively for. the fall campaign" The Ga
zette fully understands the effect falling
off in the Republican vote in Cincinnati
will have upon the State. All over the
State Republicans are pleading for full
vote at the April election. There never
was anything like it before seen in this
State on the eve of an April election. Are
the Democrats preparing to meet their po-
litical adversaries in similar spirit (?
How do they feel about it here in Cplum-

to be distracted by any ordinary considera-
tion? Or will they show by their works

majority in the fall? The Democracy OF

in expectation that the Democrats in this
city will poll large majority at the April
election. Shall they be disappointed
