The Asylum at Athens,

The following choice extract from Mr.
MEGRUE's correspondence to the Com
mercidl, we clip from the correspond
ence of &c" in the Messenger of the
18th inst:
"As regards Mr. Moore, one of the
Trustees of the Asylum, who received
and opened the bids, he is silent part
ner in the brick making firm Of Day &
Sands, aud had made his arrangements in
regard to the wood for burning brick
To prove this Mr.. Sands asked Mr. Sam
Pierce, an A No brick maker. in this
city, about the wood which was being
hauled out for that purpose, when Mr..
Pierce condemned it as unfit, but was
told by Mr.. Sands, "never mind, Mr..
Moore has an interest in this, and it
would be.all right
In reply &C." denies the above and
says: s'false and libel" Libel is a pet
term at Athens. The clustering of."C."
will fail to convince anybody. He and
his friends must furnish satisfactory ev.
dence to the Legislative Investigating
Committee this winter, that Mr.. MEeRUE s
statements are untrue.

A Kentucky Breach of Promise
a.:g Case Settled for Cash. ~


A breach of promise case which bid,
fair to furnish rare sensational dish
for the columns of uenterprising' news
papers was amicably adjusted on Satur-i
day. One of our wealthiest and most
highly respected citizens, far advanced
beyond the hey-day of life, courted
young and beautiful girl whose circnms
stances are extremely moderate. He
offered her his heart and hand in mar
riage and the thoughtful young lady ac-
cepted The wedding ring was furnish.
ed, and all the preliminary arranges
lnents for such occasions were progress-
ing finely, when the family consisting
of several grown children, of the old
gentleman got wind of the affair. They
at once resolved on squelching the nup2
itals, and by their united efforts persua-
ded their aged parent to desist in his
rash purpose The kind-hearted and
amiable parent desisted. But the young
lady whose heart had been pierced BY
Cupid's arrow would not desist worth 4
acuss." She was importuned by friends
and every argument, as to the disparity
between their ages and the tickle dispor,
sition of old age, brought to bear, but
the maiden still persisted. When all
persuasive arguments had failed the offer
of ready cash was made to heal her
bleeding heart. With great reluctance
she loaned an ear to the golden propo-
sitions, and finally knocked herself down
at the last bid of S5, 600. The money
was paid to her last Saturday, and with
an aching heart and a full pocket the int
Iiured young lady calmly submitted' TO
her cruel fate. Gus s., asa es,

Rome.

ROME December, 1.-The Pope has
not won golden opinions from the TIA
lian public for sending Monti and Tog.
netti to the scaffold. The Prime Minis
ter in Parliament and the people in the
piazzas have alike protested against
the inhumanity of Pontifcal judges in
awarding capital punishment to the au.
thors of a political offence, which is the
construction put upon the blowing up Of
the Serristori barracks by peoplein Italy.
No doubt Pho Nono's reputation for
clemencv would have gained by his
granting the lives of these criminals, and
had they been sent to convict labor fe1
the rest of their days nobody would have
thought anything more about them. AS
it is, on the contrary, the extreme party
which is a tolerably numerous one in
this peninsula, looks upon, the Pontiff as
sanguinary and vindictive tyrant and
regards the two decapitated Masons as
martyrs for the cause of liberty. This
view of the case was so enterely adopted
at Leghorn last Thursday that business
was suspended, shops closed and collec.
tions made in the streets for the families
of the two Victims demonstration
which was Of course anything but com
plimentary to the Papal government.

The Indian Bureau.

In reference to the transfer Of the Iu-
dian Bureau to the War Department, tho
Indian Peace Commissioners in their last
report said,
This brings US to consider the much
mooted question whether the bureau
should belong to the civil or military
department of the Government To
determine this properly we must first
know what is to be the future treatment
of the Indians. If we intend to have
war with them, the bureau should go TO
the Secretary of War. IF we intend to
have peace, it should be in the civil de-
.partment. In our judgment such wars
are wholly unnecessary.
