sort Of chronic antipathy to the man
ner in which his official aldermanic head
fell into the basket after his decapitation
by the Governor in 1869 has variously
moved the Hon. John Quincy Adams
Fellows at divers times and in sundry
places to seek his own resurrection
through the process of judicial galvan-
ism. His is about the hardest case of
prolonged extinction that our notes at
present inform us OF, for although he was
extirpated by Judge Pardee in January,
and again by the Supreme Court of the
State in August or September, his spinal
column continues to manifest its repug-
nance to the corruption and decay which
belong to the cerements of his present
extinct condition. This intensifes the
force OF the remark that your genuine office
holder seldom dies and never resigns, for
the actual observation has never enabled
us to discover the quality of abdication
in Mr.. Fellows, and his existing activity

The Comptroller of the Currency states
that the Southern States, for whose benefit
in part the bill was passed increasing the
national bank currency ffty-four million
dollars, have so far been unable to take
their quota or to establish their share OF
national banks. Thus far only about fifteen
millions have been paid ont, and there are
applications ON file for about ten millions
additional These come mostly from the
Western States and Territories The first
distribution was made, according to the
terms of the act of Congress, upon the basis
of the resources of States and Territories.
1t is the opinion Of the Comptroller that,
owing to the condition of the South, at least
twenty-five millions will remain for distri-
button among the States and Territories of
the West at the close of the present year.

AS an evidence of the sagacity that di-
reefs the Democratic party in Kentucky,
one of the important organs of that de-
nomination dominates John Young
Brown for Governor, on the marvellous
plea that his clarion voice will prevent
the military from cowing the Democracy.
With such mental strength as is here ap-
parent to do the leading, what hope can
the Republicans entertain of a success in
Kentucky? AS matter of course there
will be no cowing done under Brown

While the Democrats have been abusing
the Republicans for their errors and pecu-
lations in Florida the Republican revenue
officers have been actively engaged in
hunting down and destroying Democratic
distilleries to the extent of one hundred
and forty-forr in Florida These illicit
distillers thought that the best way to
escape detection themselves was to call
out stop thief against their neighbors.
The rule, however, did not work so we'll

TO THE PUBLIC.

As none of the public journals of the city have
seen fit to inform the people of the result of my
stiit against the New Orleans Times for libel deem
~ my privilege and duty to do so. We have had
three trials before a jury. The first resulted in a
verdict in my favor, but the judge granted the de-
PENDANTS new trial. The second resulted in mis-.
trial, the jury being unable to agree. The third
trial, which took place during this month, resulted
IN another verdict in my favor, from which the
Times has appealed after an Intellectual motion for
a new trial. These facts think are sufficient to
convince the public of the libelous character of the
article which appeared against me August I, 1869,
in the New Orleans Times.

Montague and Capulet are outdone in
Ohio. Two families of great wealth and
responsibility had feud between them,
and besides one of the parties had a son
and the other daughter. These two
young people met, and from their ac
quaintanceship the beautiful sentiment
called reciprocal love was developed. The
daughter confessed the tender feeling to
her family, and was covered with the
harshest reproaches. What is worse, she
was secretly removed to New York. The
gentleman, as in duty bound, fell into
settled melancholy, and was ultimately
forwarded to an insane asylum. The
daughter went into decline, and then
subsidized into lunacy. She was conveyed
to the same asylum with her lover, and
both of the unhappy twain wrestled
with their distempered fevers for time
under the same roof without knowing
that they were SO near together. One
day the father of the girl visited his
daughter, and, as if by providence, the
sister of the young man appeared on the
scene at the same time. Both of the I'M
fortunates were admitted to the main hall,
and here, while sympathy was expanding
itself, the lover saw and recognized his
darling. With one wild cry of delight
they rushed into each others arms, and
then and there the feud was buried, for
the cruel parent relaxed his animosity
and consented to the alliance. Medical
treatment was employed with saving eff
cacy, and the youthful couple are now SO
far recovered that their marriage day is
set. The ceremony will be accomplished
amid great rejoicings and with lavish
expenditure of money. The Cincinnati
Commercial will resume this "o'er true
tale" when the end is accomplished.

is the best sign of his post mortem &C
tivity. What he has attempted as last
spasm is to file brief in court contend
ing that the legitimate succession which
was opened in Ae case of his official de-
cease was be- us and illegitimate con-
Germ, as he had not provoked its creation
by any act of dissolution, voluntary or
otherwise. And in support of this propo-
sition he relies not alone upon his own
questionable constitution, but upon the
constitution of the State, which he at one
time insisted was a fraud, and upon
the federal constitution, which he
does not admire as at present
arranged The object Of this move
ment is to save his property from the
taxation which was assessed against it by
the Council of the City Of jefferson in
1869, on the ground that the assessors
were not appointed by legally consti-
tuted authority. After the brilliant fight
which the Messrs. Ogden made upon that
point, in which they were discounted by
that able jurist, the Hon. George S.
Lacey, it had passed into q public con-
viction that the Kreider combination in
the late City of Jefferson was about
played out. But it seems that we are to
have more law in the same direction, and
this time the question is narrowed down
to mere contest whether man
who has assisted to create great public
liabilities shall escape from paying his
pro rata Of the taxes necessary to liquidate
the same. 1t is thought in the suggestive
circles where motives are canvassed as
we'll as declarations, that this new argu-
ment has been commenced in order to
pave the way for a sensational canvass for
Congress. A htigious spirit sometimes
awards its owner footing for political
preferment, but the spirit in this case is
a leetle too litigious to be popular. Mark
our word for the truth of this observation.
