THE FIGHTING BINCKLEY.-The no.
torious Buckley, formerly solicitor Of
the internal revenue, played the bully
with success Thursday morning, upon
Reconnaissance Rollins and Deputy
Commissioner Harlan. Rollins escaped
without injury, but Harlan received two
ugly cuts on his face from cane in
Binckley's hands. Buckley was ar
rested and gave bail for his appearance
at Court in the sum of $500. His friends
advise him to " skedaddle," if he would
save himself from being sentenced to as
severe punishment as the law will per-
NIT.

The SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.--The
18th amendment will be ratified by the
Georgia rebels for the reason that, as
negro suffrage has been forced upon
them by the I'D Yankees" they
will in return help to force it upon the
North. No matter about the cause OF
action, Gen. Grant will be suited. Gov.
Baker, of Indiana has ordered new
elections to take place to fill the vacan-
cies occasioned by the resignation of the
Democratic members of the Legislature,
" no resigned short time since in order
to destroy the quorum, that the amend
ment might not be ratified. The Cen
stitution of the State requires the pres
ence of two-thirds of members of both
Houses to form quorum for the trans
action of business. The elections, and
the delay in legislation so caused by the
action Of the Democratic members, will
cost the State over $1,000

One Of our preachers mentioned seeing six
hundred people asleep at once while in church.

inc of our preachers mentioned seeing
ndrod people asleep at once while in churc
Ger their devoted heads,
While the law Numbered,
Snugly and heedlessly
Snorcd the six hundred,
Great was the preachers theme,
Screwed on was all the steam,S
Neither with shout nor scream,
Could he disturb the dream
OF the six hundred.
Terriers to right or them,
Terrors to the left OF them,
Terrors to the front of them
Hell itself plundered
OF its most awful things
Weak minded preacher ilings.-
Kindly he spoke, and well
All on deaf ears 1t fell,
Vain was his loudest yell
Nolley'd and Numbered
For, caring-the truth to tel
Neither for heaven or hell
Snored the six hundred.
Still with redoubled zeal
Still he spoke onward,
And in a wild appeal,
Striking with hand and heel
Making the pulpit reel,
Shaken and Numbered
Call them the Church's foes
Threatened with hand and heel
Family the answer rose
proof of their sweet repose)
From the united nose
or the six hundred.

morning, for in general he was given to
late evening hours. getting up in the

The servant quickly rea ppeared, with
the request that Edgar would follow her
into her masters presence.
Edgar Ashcroft was ushered into a
pleasant sitting room, where his friend
Charles Holden, sedate man, at least
10 years older than himself, was seated
at table, on which rested trunk of
business documents, which he had
brought home for examination. his bust

"What brings you here at this early
hour, Ashcroft ?" asked the lawyer in
surprise.

hand into his waistcoat pocket, and

"Well, how has it turned out ?"
"The shares are selling at s., and l

"-Iow many had your"

$50, 900, and could only sell out for ST.

"Sell out" said Holden laconically.
"What! and sacrifice nineteen-twen-
tieths of my fortune?"
"Better that than the whole"
"But don't you think it worth any
thing ?"
"Not a cent"
"There are some good mines there
"True, but this was got up by swim
oilers to cheat the confiding public
out of their money. 1t will go down to
nothing"
"But 50 900 won't support me-" said
Ashcroft in dismay.
