hour directing his remarks principally to the
difference in ,he personel Of the two candidates
Illustrating bis ideas by challenging any one
10 cite an aueclote ted OF Grant indicating

crafty. while on the other hand, no man lived
who could not put his fuger on something that
gives prominence TO all these qualities IN Gree
ley. Governor Leake interrupted him to cite
the only auecdote known Of Grant, not being
willing to do injustice to the Devil. Namely,
the great present takers purchase Of the paper
from the creiuous uewsboy who confidently
expected that the FIVE cent change would be

Is LUcK.-Mr. NJ. Corrigan, residing on
Wits Creek, a short distance above Cumber-
land, Nd, while tearing down an old house
preparatory to rebuilding, discovered hidden
under sill, upwards Of $4,000 in gold. The
bag in which it had been deposited was found
to be entirely rotten aad fell to pieces on being
touched, showing that the treasure had lain
there for years. No certificate of deposit ="
has yet been presented to Mr. Corrisau, and
the probabilities are that he will remain in IN
disputed possession of the discovered treasure.

LONELINESS on THs KCnEAsE.-A marked in
crease of female loveliness is the eyc-delighting
result of the immense popularity which Hagan's
Magnolia Balm has obtained among the ladies Of
America. Compilations radiant with snowy purity
and tinged with roseatc hue of health are com
monty met with whenever it is used. For the sal
low and unwholesome appearance Of the face and
neck, which utterly counterbalances the effect Of
any personal attraction the owner may possess, it
substitutes that clear, pearl-ke complexion which
is such transcendant charm in 8oman, dnd rem
ders the toughest skin as soft as Genoa velvet
No one is more astonished than the person using
it at the marvellous transformation which it effects
in these particulars.

HoRACE GREELEY on THE STBAICHT-OUT
MoyEMENr-1lr. Greeley visited Bridgeport,
Connecticut, on Wednesday week, and was The
guest Of Nh Barnum. lie was seronaded at
nigh. and made brief speech in response
Referring to the straight-out movement as an
adjunct of the republican cause he said:
Strategy in politics is the tribute which
craft pays to strength. The wolf skin proving
too short. the fUx's tail is pressed into service
to piece it out. Laughter and cheers You
see at this day great party struggling TO avert
defeat by distracting and breaking up the host
which is opposed to it. You would not have
federal officeholders working so hard to get up
a tbird ticket if they did not feel sure that be-
tween the two tickets already in the field the
verdict was against them. Cheers and cries
Of ~ right old hos y The effort, then to dis
tract the host on orr side is a confession OF de-
s !, as such receive it. The confession re- e,
mains. the despair is not likely to pass away.

ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Five Men Murder the Cashier

The Citizens in Close Pursuit Of the
Robbers. ..

LOUISVILLE, April 3O.--Ye sterday at
two clock p N. FIVE men, well mounted
and armed, dashed into the town of Co
lumbia and halted in front of the De
post Bank Dismounting, two of the
party stood outside and kept the streets
clear by continual fire upon the peo-
pie, while three entered the bank with
drawn revolvers. Hon. James Garnett,
James Page, w II. Hudson, and the
cashier of the bank, r. A. c. Martin,
were in the bank at the time, and I'M
armed. All out Martin made their
escape. Mr.. Garrett knocked a pistol
up with his hand when it was fired at
him, the ball passing over his head and
burning his hair Martin steadily re-
lusing the robbers demands to open the
safe or give the combination Of the lock,
the rufians shot BIN dead, and seizing
all the money they could fad outside
the safe, mounted their horses aud
dashed out Of town by the Burksville
road.
The citizens Immediately organized q
strong party, and taking the best horses
that could be found 10 the town, started
in pursuit, determined TO capture or kill
the entire party. II is reported that at
dark last night the pursuing party were
within thirty minutes Of the robbers, and
gaining on them rapidly.
Ii is not possible to ascertain how
much money was taken, but as most Of
the funds we're locked up in the safe
the amount is not supposed to be large

THE DAY is COME.

The long talked of Cincinnati Conyen-
ton is now in session. There is great
excitement, of course, and those who
have gone to it to grind an AK are red in
the face, full of Cincinnati whisky, and
in a fiutter all over. The desperate
demagogues will attempt to rule it, and
divert it from its original purpose.
Though we have not seen such TACT
limited, we strongly suspect that the trou-
bIe-makers in the convention are the
emissaries of Grant, sent there to break
itup and destroy the Liberal movement.
If the telegraph is correct, the members
will be cut up into factions, and no man
yet named can harmonize them. Be
tween these antagonistic elements,
Grants agents are playing the role Of
Ramsey Sniffles. But we shall speedily
know the result of this much-vaunted
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1872-05-01

question. They thought people should
do pretty much as they please. Com
menting on this, the New York Tribune
says: The right of private Judgment
has been heretofore too often little more
recognized by Protestant than by Catho-
lie churches. Priests and pastors are
brought down nowadays to the same
plane with their pensioners, and can
no more shut off theaters, music, dane
ing, all bonnets that are not calashes,
and all coats that are not shad-bellied,
into the limbo OF the devils property,
than they can deliver over the souls of
the offending of their flock, with their
heads, arms, knee-caps, and toes, into
his eternal hell fire.

The communication of Vox Popul,"
published in this paper a day or two
since, was struggled in by some one un-
known to the editor or proprietor. 1t is
scarcely necessary 20 say that it could
not have appeared if either had known
its contents, or known of it, 1t sug-
gests subject that the LEDGER never
has discussed, and never. intends to dis
cuss. Colonel Kellar's connection with
the fund referred TO is well known to the
pablo, having been publicly discussed
long since. We shall guard against
similar communication in future.
