Cincinnati Enquirer on the Conn

The people of Cincinnati can attest
that We have soguht no personal contro
versy with Mr.. Halstead of the CONNER
cial. We have scarcely ever mentioned
his name in the Enquirer. Indeed, we
have sought to cultivate pleasant private
relations with al the members of the
press in the city. The people of Cincin-
natl will also bear witness that for the
last eighteen months the editor of the
Commercial has spared no occasion, in
or out of season, to assail by name, and
slanderously, one of the proprietors of
this paper, Mr.. Washington Mclean
But while the public is witness to these
envenomed personal attacks, it is natu.
rally ignorant of the reason of them
Let ours be the simple task to tell the
cause. We could hare secured the silence
of Mr. Halstead, and he kao,cs 1t; but
zoe refused 10 pay the price asked. Hence
his malignant personal defamation.
Now we simply propose to bring all
this matter to head. Silence on our
part has produced license on his part
We--and we take it, the public-are
tired of it. Neither we nor Mr.. Hal.
stead have any right to make the people
parties to what is evidently on his part q
personal hate of one of the proprictors
of this paper, who, we will here say, is
unconscious Of ever having done him
harm by word, deed or thought. And
with view to bringing the matter to ar

the diminution in the excess of popula-

Remarkable Premonitien,

A remarkable case Of long life and
premonition of death is reported from
Egar, Bohemia. An old man ofsone
hundred and eight years arose in the
morning perfectly healthy, smoked his.
pipe, and then went out to see his SON.,
who was working in the forest, IN ORDER
to tell him that he (the father) would
die that evening; at the same time tell,
ing the son how the funeral vas to be.
conducted, and who should bear him to
the grave. The on,seeing the old mans
good humor and health, laughed at what
he considered a whim. Nevertheless,
when he returned home at night be found
his father dead. The mother relates
that he had returned to the house, desi-
red a'drink of water, had fallen asleep
IN his chair and never woke again.

One of the most amusing things Of
the Cave is to watch during a debate on
the tariff, the Hon. Horace Maynard =
This gentleman, although long resident
of Tennessee, originated in New Eng
land He is tall, slender, long armed
and with complexion of an Indian. In
deed, he is said to have the blood OF that
noble race in his veins, and gives cur
rcncy to the belief by wearing his strin-
gy, black hair, in long ringlets about his
neck His manner is very peculiar. He
has rocking sort of motion, that ex
tends TO his arms, which he throws out
in curves, and is exceedingly parliament
tary and courteous.
On all subjects connected with polit-
ical economy, the Hon. Horace is as ig-
norant as horse. This Ignorance deep
ems into an appalling obscurity and
gloom when he touches the tariff. But
he follows the traditions of New Eng
land, and being a member Of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, feels called
upon to talk all the time. Speaking like
a man under the influence of some pow
efful narcotic, he sways to and fro, ut.
tering the veriest platitudes, and old
long ago worn ont protection ,maxims
