"AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

When Samuel E. Perkins was editor
of the J6ersenian, in this city, some
yeaxp ago, he had the unenviable reputa-
ton of being the dirtiest, meanest and
most unmittigated liar in the State. 1t
was thought, by some of his friends,
that after he had been placed upon the
Supreme Bench, he would, in q measure,
) reform himself of his lying propensities.
But the gEievoas spirit of lying is still
in him, and there remains, without even
q ..'lucid interval" In a recent speech
at indianapolis, in speaking of the sol
diers, on their return home from thrash
ing his Southern brethren, he says: -
II sHe, 1.-THE soldier) found that while
he had been gone to the war, the cot on
which his vito and children slept, the
table from which they ate their scanty
meals, and the, ssslast cow that nourished
them with milk, had been sold by the
tax gatherers. ,.5ot.s s5aeer.saa =

Every true Union soldier in the State
knows that Perkins lied when he utter
ed the above infamous speech. But he
was talking to the white boys in blue
and perhaps he was alluding to the rebel
soldiers of that delectable organization.

1.-THE REAL ISSUE,

AS the lawyers say, the issues are now
made, the case has gone to trial, and it's
points can be stated in few words. Shall
treason be odious or shall it be respecta
BILE Shall the Union Soldiers and the
ssSuccessful cause or the rebel soldiers,
through Beauregard, Borrest,. Wade
Hampton and the s'lost cause be enti-
tied to the fruits of the war ?
The case as it now stands, is
GRANT, COLFAX AND GREEN
BACKS VS.. SEYMOUR, BLAIR AND
THE GRAYBACKS.
The case will be argued by many able
men on both sides, during the fall, and
will be submitted to the jury, the voters
of the United States, in November next,
for their verdicts We have no fears as
to the result. It will be decided in
favor of ,Graut, the peerless chieftain.-

a"-a Railroad.
AS our people, without exception, take
deep interest in the completion of this
road, we have taken some pains to post
our readers as to the the true condition
and future prospects of the work.
The Board of Directors of the COM
pany met at Richmond on the 18th inst.
All the Directors, except Jas. M. Starr,
who was in the Northwest, were present,
and the mos lively and intense interest
on the part of the Board and the citizens
of Richmond, was manifested for the
early completion of the work.
The President reported several con
situations he had had with Presidents Of
other roads that was proposing to assist
us, but no definite plan of operation had
been agreed upon. A proposition had
been determined upon On the part Of the
c. H. D. and the P, Fl. w. and G.
Roads, to guarantee the paymentsof in
terest on a million dollars Of our bonds
to purcha Sc the iron, the company com
ple:ing up the grade, the culverts, ties,
DC, laying the track, balasting the road
and making side tracks, water stations,
&c. To do this would require about one
hundred thousand dollars in addition to
the subscription the company already
have This proposition was believed to
be as good for the company as could be
had, If carried out in good faith, would
result in the early completion OF the
work To make the proposition binding
the adoption of the same by the several
| Boards of Directors would be required.
us 1t has since been ascertaned that the
charter of the c., H. D. Road does not
permit that company to make such
guarantee, but they have proposed to
make to the P. FIT. w. and G. Railroad
sufficient guarantee, in some other man.
ner, which will be legal, if they, the p,
Fl. W. and G.. Railroad will guarantee
for the whole million dollars, as pro-
posed. A written proposition to that
effect was submitted, from the officers
OF the c., H. & D. Railroad, to the Presi-
dent Of the p, Fl. w. and c. Railroad,
and declared to be satisfactory.
Thus matters stood at the date of the
| last meeting, and the President of the
road was instructed to proceed at once,
and, if possible, close up contract with
the parties on the b asi 8 of the
above propo 81 tion;. and should
he not succeed with them, to try another
party, who is understood to have as fav-
orable plans as the first-named, and in
the event of the Presidents success he
| is authorized to let the work at once.
From this state of facts it will be seen
that while the road is not advancing as
rapidly as we desire, yet there is moth.
| ing really discouraging, and We look for
ward with pride and satisfaction to the
| time, we trust not distant, when this
much needed work will be completed.
| We were misled, in our article two
weeks ago, as to the object of the meet
| ing of the Board, and hasten to give the
true facts as to the condition of the road
at the present time - Winchester Journal.

Democracy VS.. Wooden Shoes.

i. The Democracy of Ripley County have been
having troublous times with their "German
friends,'' and are likely to lose the votes of
quite a number of them. In the recent County
Convention the Germans succeeded in securing
the candidate for Clerk, and presented the
name of German for Recorder, when a gen.
tleman entertaining strong "know- nothing"
proclivities openly opposed this nomination,
saying the "Dutch" had all they were entitled
to, that one pair Of WOODEN SHOES was enough
in the Court House, and making various other
remarks not calculated to secure many German
votes to the Democratic ticket. A good Ger
man friend called at our office few days since,
giving US the foregoing facts, and assuring US
that the Germans of Ripley were beginning to
find out that the Democrats are only their
friends, SO long as they can control them. If
they voted the Democratic ticket and asked for
favors. they were tgood fellows" and their
"German friends" but if they asked for . d.
vision Of the Offices even in proportion to the
number of votes cast by them, they were the
"wooden shoed Dutch, - and it woulden't do to
have them about the Court House, The DEM
ocratic love for foreigners is in proportion as
they can "vote" them. From all accounts they
will have an interesting time voting some of
them in Ripley this FALL Il, =

AN ALLEGED IHCoNsTANT WIFE, Marriage
Sundered.-The matrimonial knot, which was
looked upon as being most firmly tied, in the
case Of q captain in the army and gay young
lady in Rochester, was sundered this morning
by Judge Lott, in the Supreme Court, SPECIAL
Term. The story Of the unhappy marriage,
according TO the evidence taken before the
referee, runs thus: In 1863 William H. Arm.
strong, captain in the army, became enam.
ored by the handsome face and winning man
ners Of young lady in Rochester. After
short courtship. she promised TO be MRS. Arm.
strong, and was led 20 the hymenil altar and
became happy bride. The honeymoon was cut
short by orders for the captain TO join his com.
mand. compelling him to leave his bride among
her friends. Then letters, with vows Of love and
fidelity, passed, and the only bitter draught TO
their cup Of happiness at that time was the Sc.
paration. A few months after, stones calcu.
lated to draw the green eyed monster out in its
full form, reached the ears OF the Captain. At
first these stories were vague. Finally thew
assumed shape, and were TO the effect that Mrs.
Armstrong was not conducting herself in the
manner Of virtuous woman; that she was in
the habit of travelling upon cars and steamboats,
and picking up all SORTS ofacquaintances. The
captain determined to satisfy himself of the
truth of these statements returned to Rochester
He reached the scene Of his late happiness, and
there found his bride living with man whose
wife was absent on a visit to some friends
