RuMoRED CoAL1TIoN.-The Washing

has filled the radical camp with conster.

of Senator Ross, of Kansas, that coali
ton has been entered into between ex.
President Johnson and Parson Brown.
low, by which Johnson is to aid Brown
low in electing Seuter Governor of Ten
nessee, and Brownlow, Senter, and their
friends are in turn to secure Johnson's
election to the Senate ofthc United States
We have no idea that there is q word Of
truth in the story. Johnson nndoubted.
lv prefers the election of Scnter to that
Of Stokes, but he is incapable of making
a corrupt political bargain with any one
and incapable OF making any bargain
whatever with Brownlow, whom he hear
tily despises.
The Radicals exhibit great alarm at the
idea of ex.Presidcnt Johnson's going to
the Senate. A seat in that body is the
exact situation that he should occupy,
and we fully believe that he will be elect
ed at the first opportunity, though not in
pursuance of any political bargain. AS
a member of the Senate, he would be a
terror to the Radical party. Among the
Radical Senators he would not encounter
his peer and his political friends would
rejoice to see him squaring accounts that
have long been in arrears.-LoulsultIe

PAYNE, THE ATTEMPTED Assassin OF Ma.
SEwARD-The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, writes to that pa
per as follows:
Some time ago friend introduced me
to Frederick Stone, of Port Tobacco,
Qndian, POtopaca,) on the Lower Poto-
mac, who WAS counsel to DR.. Mudd, the
surgeon of John Wilkes Booth. Stone is
now q member of Congress from the Fifth
District of Maryland, and is modest,
semi-literary lawyer. He went in his
professional capacity to see Payne, Or
Powell, the attempted assassin of William
Fl. Seward, and returned 10 my introdu-
Ger with this statement:
THAT fellow is the most extraordinary
and irredeemable rufian in Christendom.
He is built like gigantic savage, has no
idea of fear, possesses no sensibilities, and
wants to die with promptitude.
"He said to me: Il don't want 8 trial.
I deserve to be hanged, and expected it.
l don't want to be led out into court ev-
cry day, with chains on my legs, and q
daily hurrah. I meant to kill that old
Seward, and how failed can't imagine.
believe was right IN trying to kill him,
and all I regret is that I didn't kill him.
First I went at him with my knife and
then with my pistol butt. II had POS.
sessed anything else, I should have fin
ished him.
Stone asked him the extent and nature
of the conspiracy.
at was plan to carry off Lincoln and
give him up to the Confederates," said
Payne; "but when that failed, Booth, who
was the only one in earnest, proposed to
kill Lincoln and all the Cabinet. All the
rest backed out and scattered like lot of
beggars. We never heard of Surratt or
Arnold, or any OF them again. told
Booth that would go in with him, and
he preferred to kill Lincoln, while 1 was,

The TRIALS OF EDITORS AND PUBLISH
ERs.-At II meeting of the Iowa State
Press Association" ali address was de-
livered-and very sensible one, toby
one of its members, from which we make
the following extract:
"In speaking Of the revenue of the
press, 1 cannot refrain from expressing
my views on the subject of free advertise.
ments. There is always to he found in
every considerable community SET OF
mcn who imagine by some dispensation,
they ought not, like other mortals, to pay
tor what they receive. Editors have ex-
traordinary facilities for making their ac-
quaiutance, and are very kindly per.
mitted to contribute gifts to their support
In what other branch of business would
this be tolerated? {? Allow that one has put
the press under some obligation. does he
not generally expect to get back more
than the worth OF his services?
"If IL man does an. editor favor of q.
remarkable value, let him have his remu-
neralion, cash.
"On the other hand require him to pay
for what the paper has done for him.. IT.
is as reasonable TO expect a carpenves to-
shinglc your house aud the tailor to make
your clothes without charge, as to ople-
pare and publish matter for another's
benefit without compeA sation. Long obit-
uarics, marriages ornameatcd by extracts
from all the poets. and lengthy pnffs Of
some ones corner lots or Improvements,
come audcr this class of advertisements
This custom of gratuitous notices and
advertisements from any quarter ought
to cease, Tor the reason tnat it
would be benefit to the editors pockets,
and would in some degree abate an al-
naost intolerablc nuisance. The editors
path has more thorns than roses, and
there is no law, human or divine that
shoald oblige him to shoulder the burdens
of those who are too lazy or stingy to
take care OF themselves. People wrll
come to terms where they find their in
terests are involved in reasonable COM
pliance."

he aggravated one beyond endurance, be-
was in the way, and was bitten for one:
of the lionesses. He has the teeth and
claws of the lioness which he thinks bit
him purposcly. The teeth are an inch
and half long, with root about two
aud half inches in length. If the teeth
were driven in flesh up to the gums 9.
large sized peach stone could be planted
in the hole. The claws, which the ami
NAL like the cat, keeps unexposed till
wanted, are formidable looking objects.
We do not now doubt, as we onco did the
assertions of travellers. that one blow from
lions paw would kill man or tear out
great masses of flesh. Herr Lengel says
he fears their claws more than their teeth
that they generally strike before they
bite.
Herr Lengel will have to remain here
about ten days longer, after which it
is probable he will be able to rejoin his
company.-Charleston Ners.

Deacon B., of Ohio, a very pious

- Deacon B., of Ohio, very pious
man, was noted for his long prayers
especially in his family. One Monday
morning she Deacon and his wife were
alone, and, as was his custom, after break
fast a prayer was offered. here being
an unusaI amount of work that day, The
Deacon's prayer was short, and seizing
his hat and milk pail. be started for the
barn. His wife, being deaf, did not notice
his absence, but supposed him TO be still
engaged in prayer On his return from
milking he was surprised to find her still!
kneeling. He stepped up to her and
shouted 'Amen,' when she Immediately
arose and went about her work as if
nothing had happened.
