Two of the republican capdidates for
Commonwealth Attorney, Judge Geo.
Denny, of Garrard, and John w. Tut.
tie, Esq, Of Wayne, held a consultation
at Stanford last Monday, and agreed
upon a plan to decide their respective
claims TO the track, subject to the ratif-
cation Of Col. Silas Adams, of Casey,
the third Radical aspirant, who could not
attend the caucus on account Of high
water. They are to submit the question
of their personal fitness, eligibility,
availability, etc., to three referees, each
aspirant to select man of his party
who resides in a county Of the district
other than his own and the three men
thus selected are to select the fourth man
who shall decide the matter, provided
they cannot Agree. The fourth man.
or umpire, is to be selected from some
county Of the district in which no one
of the three aspirants resides. The ref.
erees are to meet at Liberty on Monday
next, and discharge the delicate duty
imposed upon them. We shall heartily
the two who are unsuccess>
full in getting the nomination, and are
thus spared the modification of an inev-
liable defeat next August.

ing the greatest damage.
We do not object to boys or young men
having their fun and frolics, but those who
have no regard for the property of their best
friends or the good name and welfare of our
town, who take advantage of the dark hour,
Of night in watch to do their dirty work and
commit t,.eir wanton disgraceful deeds to tie
great damage and annoyance Of our innocent
unsuspecting citizens, should be made to suffer
the severest penalties Of the law. We trust
that this will be the last time that we will BE-
called upon to chronicle this Kind Of fun,
which never produces anything but evil re-
suits, unkiad feelings and a troubled con
science.
We think well Of all the boys and would

The Courier-Jourmai says, and truth
fully, that the population of any city
may be doubled within ten years by
means Of one distinguished, well-conduct-
ed and widely circulated newspaper. We
agree with the Courier, and also with an
exchange which says that the same is
true of any small town. You cannot
point out county seat in Kentucky
which has flourishing weekly paper,
which is not rapidly and continually adj
vancing in all that goes to make up a
desirable town. On the other hand, show
us town where the paper is slow and
the editor half supported. and we will
show you town which does not move a
peg of its old boundaries, and whose
population is and has been about the
same number for an indefinite period of
time. Then We conclude, that il you
will support your local paper it will re-
turn the favor four-fold

The President returned the currency
bill passed by both Houses Of Congress,
providing for the initiation Of Greenback
currency, with his all-powerful veto at
,ached, and accompanied by message,
culled from the Eastern papers. The
veto was wholly unexpected. II was
known that the President was besieged
by Eastern capitalists with s35o,0OO,ooo
in their vaults and his avaricious nature
was also taken into account, but no one
outside Of his family" supposed that he
would dare array himself against the ex.
pressed will Of the people in behalf Of
the lorily millionaire and against the
poor Of the West. The consequences Of
the veto are summed up by the Courier.
Journals correspondent as follows;
First-The certain failure Of Senate
bill to become law.
Sccond-The probable failure Of any
other measure, such as two bills passed
by the House Of Representatives, one lie.
galizing the $500, 00o,0 900 Of greenback
circulation, and the other providing for
free banking.
Third-The rupture of the Republican
party, with the most DISASTROUS consequence.
es to them in the Congressional elections.
Fourth-The present state of uncer.
tainty among business men, a paralysis
Of business and the continued suffering
Of the debtor class in the South and
West.
The session of Congress will pass away
without any beneficial act Of legislation
for the people.
