The LegLslatIve race.

Editor Courier:
Upon what meat doth this our Cesar feed,
/ That he has grown to be 80 great"
Was the reflection that irresistibly for
ced itselfu our minds, after having fin
ished the perusai Of Mr.. Arnold's very
modest card, published in last weeks
Courier. Hear him, intelligent voters of
Fulton county, as he utters the significant
expression, 'sthat if / shall become salts
fed that am the choice Of the voters of
these two counties, / will then become a
candidate" which being interpreted
means simply this, Intelligence is flow
ing at low ebb in your county, you are
lacking in that kind of material out of
which, you can make suitable figure
head in the Legislative department., we
have plenty in our county, ergo, in view
of the fact, that / am regarded as one of
the representative men in my county, you
must satisfy me fully that I am your
choice, and then l will become a candi-
date. Hickman county lies at my back
and bidding, why not Fulton2
Hats of in the crowd, present arms in the
line,
Let the standards all bow and the sabres
incline,
Roll drums the grand march, while the con-
queror goes,
Whose face has seen only the backs of his
foes,
Henceforth upon the hustings to stray,
Abiit, evasit, erupit A. 5. A.
In conclusion Vox Populi would add
for the benefit of the would be Honorable
that he does him the justice to believe,
that he read the former article through
pair of jaundiced spectaeles, for surely
no one, especially a Legislative aspirant,
could have perverted the meaning of that
production, as to attempt to establish the
impression, that he wished Mr.. A to
be considered as a dead weight. We
will go step farther, and say, that we
deemed it to be our duty, to call his at
tention to facts as they really exists, and
if any one doubts what we stated before
in regard to the support he may receive,
aud the manner originating the call, let
him canvass this section thoroughly, and
we will venture the assertion that he will
not again call into question the truth of
our statement. Fulton county Is justly
entitled to the representative this term,
and with the lights before US, and the
constitution as the man of our counsel,
we will use every honorable means in
our power to elect him.

A Generous Heart.

The graphic Frankfort correspondent
of the Courier Journal gave his readers
yesterday morning the touching details
of noble charity very delicately be-
slowed upon an afflicted lady by a dis
tinguished representative IN the General
Assembly from this city a lobbyist ap-
piled to the representative for his in
fuence to secure the passage of law to
enable the lady to open lottery, that
she might accumulate sufficient money
to avail herself of the services of an ocu-
list, as she is about losing her eye sight.
The appeal was so touching that the dis
tinguished representative was moved to
tears; aud, protesting that as Christian
gentleman, he could not conscientiously y
vote to legalize lottery scheme, he drew
check Ia the lady's favor for $500 and
passed it over to the lobbyist. Delicacy
prompted the correspondent to withhold
the name of the generous donor; but we
have since learned through private
source that the distinguished representa-
tive was no less parsonage than the Hon.
Ohm Z. Bunch. These exhibitions OF
charity on the part of public men whose
attentions are necessarily absorbed in af-
fairs of state and who have little oppor.
tunity to cultivate the tenderer sensibili-
ties Of human nature, are so rare, it gives
us pleasure to record their occurrence,
albeit the noble benefactor may shrink
from the notoriety which such publicity
gives.-LOuisUilLe Commercial
