The Washington Chronicle Of the
nth, published the following:
Vallandigham does not hesitate to tel
epraph orders to Secretary McCulloch.
The following was received at the Treas
ury,Department late Thursday week from
Ohio: fa5
"To II. B. MeCulloch. Secretary Of Treasury,
Washington. d. Q.
"Wby nre Radicals still appointed to
Office in this State? This thing must
stop. Z. L. VALLANDIGHAh.
A similar dispatch was received the
same day from Montgomery Blair.
The same statement was telegraphed to
other Radical papers, and spread broad
east throughout the country. Ithasbeen
ascertained that there is mot q word Of
truth in the story. And yet, new that the
full advantage of it has been realized to
inc psriy, the papers which published do
not correct it. Thus it is that by lies
we'll persisted in the Radicals are deter
mined to win. Do the frank and file
of the Northern Radicals desire to be
thus deceived +? Does it suit them all to
carry ron their election by falsehood,
which would disgrace any men who as
pire to decent reputations2 Most re.
spectacle men who had determined to
shut their eyes and win, right or wrong,
would prefer to do SO without lying about

sake.

THE NEWS.

In the Criminal Court yesterday morning
Judge wylis discharged John Surrstt under
the statute of limitation, the indictment not
having been four d until two years after the
offense was alleged to have been committed.
After the announcement of the decision by
Judge wylis discbarg'ng Surratt. many
friends congratula' ed him, and be retired from
the court room. The District Attorney filed
an sppea from the decision. and the court adj
journei.
The Cincinnati Base Ball Club called at the
Executive Mansion yesterday morning, ard
paid their respects to the Presidents They
also visited Secretary McCulloch and other
prominent officials.
1t is believed that nokurther steps win be
taken in the Surratt case. in view OF the great
expense to which the Government has besn in
his arrest and former trial.
The Washington Star says; "Wehave every
reason to believe that the cause of the pro-
tractei session ofths Cabinet yesterday was
discussion as to whether there was a s. ssion Of
Congress on the 2lst. the question being that If
there was session. then all the appointments
made during the recess had terminated. and
tbs Offices were now vacant. The President
held that he had not been notified of any ses-
sien. and therefor, did not recognize any,"
There, was a prayer meeting yesterday at
John Aliens, and also at Kit Burns. That
at the latter wss succeeded by rat fight. which
is said to have been better attended.
The constant ,rains are seriously damaging
the cotton crop of Middle Tennessee. The
prospect now is that third less cotton will be
produced than was supposed on the first Of this
month.
Gen. Shelby has driven the Indians he was
in pursuit Of far south. beyond the borders Of
Texas. He had several fights with them, whip
ping them badly and killing and wounding sew

was slight. e
The Florida Legislature passed the follow

Ths Adjournment.


We take the following from the cor
respoudence of the Louisville Courier,
showing up further facts attending the
adjournment of Congress:
The part which Speaker CoIfsx played
in the farce on Monday has just leaked
out. Hitherto be only connived at par
liamentary outrsges perpetrated By Rad
ieals on helpless minority, by his in-
terpretSiion Of rules, bat 10 this instsnce
he enacted the role Of chief conspirator.
II is proper TO state that he originated
the programme carried out In the House
Of Representatives Monday.
At dinner party at wilkins rsstau-
rapt Saturday, Colfax, Schenck, Rollins,
aud other leading Radicals discussed the
situation and what measures should be
taken in the event no quorum was pres
ent, Of which they entertained spprehen.
sions. Colfsx said be would not order
the roll 10 be called, 30 il would not APP
pear on the ground that there was not a
quorum present, and this thing could
