If we like John Thomas better at one time than

for example, could be perfect in its way than
the tone with which John Thomas has treated the
fitzpatrick libel case. When he was summoned be-
fore tho magistrate a criminal charge he threat
ened to prosecute The San for saying that he had
been arrested precisely the original Yellowplush
might have menaced with the beadle an unmannerIy
boy who prodded his stuffed calves And now his
plush breeches fairly culver with his anger because
THE TRIBUNE says that he has been indicted which.

Dear John Thomas! we can only advise you in the

The high price of butchers meat continues to ex-
cite great attention and discussion in England Tho
main complaint seems to come from the country
butchers, who in many cases have ceased to pur-
chase on account of the extortons of the holders OF
stock. Women's meetings to consider the subject
are frequently held. One at the Town Hall at Chow
bent (Lancashire) unanimously voted neither 70
touch nor taste meat until it should BIO reduced TO
I'd per pound. A pathetic speech was made by one
woman. who said that she had never been without
meat for Sundays dinner for % years until the pre-

TIE REBEL PENSION FOLLY ONCE MORE
A private letter from lawyer in st. Paul,

n private lelter IrOm lawyer III Ol. Iulu,
says:
"senator Carpenter OF Wisconsin, speaking In the st.
Paul Opera House. last night made the following
tion Horace Greeley In favor OF paying pensions to
the Rebel soldiers, and is in favor OF rembrsing the
South the loss of its slaves and other property in the
war; He and his friends assert that you have not
denied this; will not, dare not deny it,"
Tho common plan of slanderer is to de-
clare that the man he ISLANDERS has not
denied the charge, will not deny it, dare not
deny it. While you deny one he invents a
dozen others. This case, however, has been so
thoroughly exposed, that it is amazing
that person having any claims
whatever to decency should repeat it,
Mr. Carpenter merely uttered cheap, exposed
and contemplate falsehoods if he made the
above assertion, and lie knew perfectly
well that such was its character at the time.
There never was q shadow of foundation for
it, save the ridiculous affidavit of young
person in 0neonta, who swore that he had
seen letter of Mr.. Greeleys in favor of the
payment of.pensons to Rebel soldiers, and who
subsequently, wrote a card withdrawing his
affidavit on the ground that he did MT know
whether the letter contained anything of the
sort or not. In point of fact no
letter of that sort was ever witten,
and the men who arc circulating
this thing know that they are repeating a
thoroughly exploded and utterly basclcss
calumny. ...t

that Mr.. O'Brien's followers were not so

COLUMBIA, Wednesday, October 9.
Henry G. Carter, the bearer OF the bogus
endorsements of Moses by Grant, and who has
been lying here for several days In jail under
a charge of forgery, made by the Moseyites,
was brought up to-day on habeas corpus, be-
fore Judge Willard. Metsrs. Boone and LIE
conte represented Carter, and Mesars. Pope
and Haskell the prosecution. No facts were
developed, and the case sided off on the ques-
ton OF Jurisdiction. It will be brought up
the day after tomorrow, before Judge Melton.
No sensible explanation has, as yet, been
given of Carter's purposes or connections.
The Moseyites charge very earnestly that Car
ter is the tool Of Senator Sawyer, and that
some fell design was contemplated against
Moses-exactly what, Is not made clear. The
Boilers, on the other hand, deny all knowledge
of, or Interest In, Carter, and have left him
entirely 10 the tender mercies of Moses and
his party. The latter, 1t Is reported, are using
every e1ertlon to induce Carter to make a
clean breast of 1t. Moses, Worthlngton, Den.
mis- and Elliott have paid frequent visits to
Carter iu jail.
An Indictment was handed out yesterday
to the grand jury against Captain Upper, and
a true bill presented this morning. Judge
Melton has postponed the trial until the next
term, when some other Judge will preside.
The Radicals are having a jubilee at the
statehouse tonight over the good news to
them from the State elections North.
