Death OF the New Departure.

For two and a quarter months, nearly,
the Louisville Ledger has published at
the rate of three times week the death
of the New Departurists, and 10 coonec
ton has given a diagnosis of the disease
which terminated so fatal.

the new departure cat astrophy as Taught
by the Leager, and as there Is definite

there be definite number by the Ledger
to the Departure.
We hope as soon as the Ledqer finds the

1t will make known the number. This
request we make with the proyiso, that

Mistakes.

The Hickman COURIER says
ct is well known to the country, and
has been amply established, that office
holders under the present administration
especially those controlling any mon
eys of the Governmeut-iu great meas
ure have been corrupt in the admins
tration of their Offices
The COURIER is mistaken The
country is not so we'll informed as il
thinks. The COURIER has more special
knowledge than 1t is aware of, if knows
that Office holders under the present ad
miuistratiou, have generally been cor
rUpt. 1t can make itself interesting By
publishing specifically the facts.-Louis

Its announced that the Democratic
Executive Committee at Washington is
preparing list of Radical defalcations
and swindles, which will be speedily

records, and will show worse condition
of affairs at Washington than has yet
been suspected, and siuce the CONNER

more than 100000. We know not that
we could find remedy for such aftile f
tons through the Kentucky Legisla-
ture, or through the Courts, but we do
know that if we belonged to Tennessee,
a common interest would protect; and
we do know that Kentucky has exhibited
a just apprehension from foreign corpo-
rations in other portions of the State,
as for instance when she refused the
Cincinnati charter.
Again, Fulton County, Kentucky,
possesses probably 10000 acres of land
subject to overflow from the Mississippi
river, while adjacent to and back of same
Tennessee possesses more than 100000
acres, the front nearly entirely belonging
to Kentucky. If we belonged to Ten
uessee a common interest would induce
its protection. Kentucky has time and
again refused.
But, as stated, the causes which would
impel desire for annexation to Tonnes
see are more from geographical and com
mercial causes, than from neglect or par
tial legislation by Kentucky. which are
measurably beyond the reach OF our
Legislature, albeit we could name more,

the selection of State officers, etc.
Our Representative aud citizens hav
ing business at our State capital, mus
of necessity pass through the whole
breadth of Tennessee to get started into
Kentucky. Our business men, who re
ceiye two thirds OF their patronage from
Tennessee are subject to many iueon
veuieuces in their every day business in
tercourse with citizens from a diferen
State used e different laws, etc.
In considering such a proposition We
do not forfeit our attachment or prid,
for Kentucky, or reflect upon the Iiber
ality of her people, but allow that natu
raj causes ally our interest with Ten
nessee, and natural causes withhold from
US that friendly sympathy and recog
milton by the parent government of Up
per Kentucky absolutely essential to on
developement and prosperity We eoul
multiply facts, and instances, bearing o.
this point, but more is unnecessary now

ACCORDING to the impraeticables and
destructives Of this political day and gen
Grafton, the present theory of party poll
tics is that in important contests both
parties must place tickets in the field,
even although one of them goes through
the formality with the consciousness that
its ticket viii be certainly defeated The
new theory, on the contrary, assumes the
possible existence Of conditions in which
it is better for one party not to make
nomination at all, but leave the field to
its antagonists, in the almost absolute
certainly that its antagonists will then
divide and present two tickets.-NasA-

ATTENTION is directed to the fact that
the bed of the Mississippi river seems to
be filing up at rate which threatens in
the course of time to seriously affect nav
igation during the dry season. This
year at St. Louis. while the surface OF
the water has been four feet and one
inch above the lowest stage of water
attained BY the river 10 1868, there was
at the same time only about five inches
difference in the depth Of the channel
between these years, showing that the
bottom of the river must be three feet
aud four inches higher than it was m
1853. So in 1856 the bed of the river
was found to be two feet and three in :

appearance. The room is seated with
settees, and will be furnished with gas
and water as soon as possible. !,

many OF them have been rebuilt.
The weather has moderated greatly
