By the following extract from the Lou
lsviiie Couricr-Journol, abiding to the
Kentucky Legislature, it will be seen that
that body bore striking resemblance to
the Legislature of our own State, which
adjourned few weeks ago, without hay
ing performed single creditable act, That
was not prompted by outside parties:
( It came to louisville to be wined and dined,
and there was an orgy at the Gait House 1t
went to Cincinnati to be stuffed and swilled, and
there was an orgy there Then it went back to
Frankfort, where it was suffused with liquor
and tobacco. 1t beat the Cincinnati bill.
1t passed the Cincinnati bill. Then, having
paid its debt,it finally killed it outright,
the House, which had voted both ways, leaving
the Senate to finish the job. Everybody about
the Capital Hotel knows thatsth lobbying was
shocking to decency. Everybody in Frankfort
can bear witness to the low moral standard that
prevailed whilst Louisville and Cincinnati fur
nished plenty of food and drink and kept the
situation warm and lively on secret service lux
uries. People may laugh at all this. But it
was no laughing matter. It was merely corrup-
ton considerably drunk and hilarious That is

THERE is complaint on the part of the
officers of the signal service that the tele-
graph companies are unreasonable in their
demands for compensation. Congress
made sufficient appropriation for these
reports, and manifested disposition to
) keep up and extend the service. The Off
GERS in charge of it are working with en-
thnsiasn,, and seem determined to make
1t succeed. The reports are getting into
general use, and we cannot remain silent
and see anybody interfere to hinder them,
or make speculation by exorbitant
tariffs. Why cannot the telegraph COM
panies send these dispatches at as low rates
, as they send press reports ? In fact they
ought to send them at actual cost. isa

FINALE OF THE VIRGINIA RAILRoAD
Waffle affray between Gen. Malone,
President Of the Atlantic, Mississippi and
Ohio Railroad, and John Lyon, ESQ.,, a
lawyer of Petersburg, which occurred in
Ricl1nl ond on "Wednesday afternoon, was
briefly mentioned yesterday by telegraph.
The difficulty had its origin in the struggle
in the Legislature between Gen. Malone
and Mr.. Walters, Of Baltimore, and others,
for the purchase of the States interest IN
the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad,
which resulted in favor OF the latter, with
whom, it seems, Mr.. Lyon participated.
In regard to the difficulty, the friends of
Mr.. Lyon say that General Malone and q
friend were standing on the Exchange
Hotel corner. The General was tapping
the lamp-post lightly with his cane. when
ne saw Capt. Lyon and friends coming
down the street. They bowed to General
Malone, and turned towards the Four
teenth-street entrance TO the Exchange
when the General beckoned withll1is cane
as if for Capt. Lyon to return. He did So
Gen. Mahone's first words were, Don't
you ever speak to me again. x Capt. Lyon
promptly replied in the same tone that he
never would. Gen. Malone immediately
rejoined, IF you do, you damned scoun-
drel, Pll-." Before the sentence was fin
ished the epithet was resented by blew,
which was quickly returned. Almost in
moment the parties clinched. Ger. Ma
hone drew a Derringer pistol from his
pocket, and seemed to be trying to cock it
the muzzle being close to the breast of
his opponent-when his arm was seized
by bystander, and the pistol was not fired
until minute or two later. They were
then forcibIy taken apart, and each escort
ed to his roen by friends. Baltimore

SHORT MEMORIES.


], The New York Times has published
some capital editorials recently, in which
the short memories of those who ought to
DO President Grants friends is brought
into prominent view. Those who praised
Gen. Grant when he achieved brilliant
victories over the enemies of the country
at Donelson and vicksburg, vanauishing
them at Appomattox, seem to have forgot
ten all this now. Then, no man had the
presumption to question the fact that he
was richly entitled to nations gratitude.
This was accorded to him by universal
consent-that is, among men who were
friendly to the Government. Even the
rebels gave him credit for maghanimity
and no one disputed his ,magnanimity to-
wards powerful butvanquished foe. Be
fore his appointment as Secretary of War
ud interim, by President Johnson, when
the Democrats found out they could not
use him, he was claimed by some of them
es a sound Conservative or Democrat. But
since his election as President, by con-
forming his policy to the principles of the
Republican party the party which, under
his lead, suppressed the rebellion-he has
come in for their unsparing abuse. This
Is what wesexpected from Democrats. No
one is surprised at it. But. as is always
the case, there was a large number of
applicants for official position under his
administration, probably not more than
one Of five Of whom were successful. A
great many of these had remained in the
party only for the spoils. Being disap-
pointed in this, their Republicanism sud-
denly failed them, and they seized the first
opportunityof giving vent to their pent up
feelings by reviling the President, and
commenced finding fault with all he did.
They persisted in this until they got up
something like popular clamor on a small
scale, when few of those who have been
reputed party leaders have falleni in. These
genflemen calculate on the short memories
of the people to sustain them. They ex-
pect them to forget that just few short
yearsago the whole country was eulogizing
General Grant. They expect the people
20 become so befogged with all the fuss
they are making as to not give the Presi-
dent credit for what he is really doing. In
th;s they are mistaken. The people are
likely to Enquire what the President has
done to merit their condemnation, before
thsy proceed to condemn him. - $ @
