l1R REcRiS SPEECH

Brief as was the notice given, the
large hall of the court house was filled
by an audience of the "honest ycoman.
ry," for the most part, citizens of the
town, and a fair sprinkling Of ladies,
last Thursday afternoon, attracted by
the hcnestly-earned and deserved fame
of the distinguished ex-Rep,esentative
of the Ashland District, who was an
nounced to address the people at that
time and place.
Promptly at the hour designated-2
o'clock-Mr. Beck made his appearance
and for more than two hours held his
audience spell-bound by the greatest
political speech ever delivered in this
section of country. We cannot give
even synopsis of it, he spoke with
such rapidity Of utterance that it was
utterly impossible for any but the most
practised reporter TO take connected
notes of his speech,
BY virtue of his position on import
ant committees, Mr.. BECK is perfectly
familiar with the inside working of the
Administration, and he puts his knowl
edge to good use. His exposure of it:
rottenness and corruption was complete
and mastery. No one who heard hin
but pronounces him a strong man anC
great man. 1t is the misfortune o.
the entire country that he was not re
turned to Congress from his District
But his case is not the first in whicl
Kentucky Democrats have played tn
devil on slight provocation.

The Calhoon Progress says the man
who attempted to kill the snake around
his wife's neck, had been to Hartford
and drank out of our private bottle
of Temperance Elixir" Which is
an error. The only Calhoon man that
ever asked us for drink, when led to
our private bottle-which is the town
pump-developed symptoms of hydro.
phobia, as soon as he saw the water.
From thenceforth our bottle has been
empty 10 all Calhoonites.

candidate for Governor of Iowa, was
the famous "VNar Governor" of that

Mrs T. Whitman, of Munfordsville, is
visiting Mr. ]. W. Maxey at this place,
and showed us common sewing needle
which has this history. Fifty years ago
she swallowed needle, and two weeks
ago it was extracted from her arm. The
circumstances which go to prove that it is
the same which has been imbeded in, or
wandering through, her frame all these
years, are that she is positive no other
needle has ever intruded itself in her
body, and all who see it note the differ
ence in the formation Of the eye from
those now in use. Fifty years ago, soon
after swallowing the needle, she vomited
about a pint of blood, and for some time
thereafter was subject to frequent hemor.
rhages. At intervals through all these
years she has felt pain and numbness in
the left side Of her body. Two weeks
ago her left arm began to swell rapidly,
and soon after at point just above the
elbow the end of the needle protruded it.

THE New York Sun is great reformer.
But it is only troubled about administrative
reform. 1t is blatant political economist.
1t says it could run the city, State and Ma
tional administrations at ante-war rates.
1t could keep theexpenditures down to the
figures of the Fillmore and Buchanan terms
of Presidency. If the Sun has the vast
ability in the economical line which it pro-
fesses to have, why, in the name of all that
is lovely and honest, does it not apply it to
its own establishment? Its ante-war price
was one cent 1t sells now for two cents,
and announces forthcoming Sunday edi-
ton for which it Will exact three cents per
copy. It's rates for advertising are four
times what they were before the war.
What was then ten cents q line is now forty.
What does all this prove2 That the Sun
preYaricates in itsassertions about the prac-
ticability of ante-war expenses as applied
to governments, or that it is practicing from
one to three hundred per cent. extortion in
its private enterprise7 That it is the former
every one knows who has ever con!rasted
ante-war prices of living with those Of the
present day. We can easily imagine the
extra charge for the Sunday edition to be a
salve for the sufferings of the Ishmaelitish
conscience for Sabbath breaking. This
third cent will no doubt be devoted to the
charity fund, or set apart for the establish
meut of another Brook Farm Phalanstery,
or the recuperation of the Irish Famine
Fund.

CUBA AND A THIRD TKRn.

Since the recent elections the great u
independent journals have all returned to
the Third Term question for inspiration.
We have several times reminded these die
fators and Cesars of the press, when they
pronounced the Third Term "dead as q
mackeref' and "killed again" that they
would be sure to resurrect 1t again in sixty
OF ninety days, whenever they happened to
be short of better subjects for the abuse of
General Grant. While we do not claim
the gift Of prophecy we can point to the
columns Of these Independent journals for
the Terihcation of our predictions in these
instances-every one of them. Like the
ghost Of Banquo this perturbed spirit Of
the Third Term viii not down at the bid
ding Of these modern Macbeths. It re-
pppears to disturb their sleep upon every
occasion Of nervous excitement. When

THE Texas Democracy is true to itself
and its reasonable love for the fallacy of
secession. The Bill of Rights adopted by
the Constitutional Convention of that State
furnishes abundant proof of the truth of
this assertion. Among other clauses it
contains the following:
1EThat the maintenance of our free institu-
tions and the perpetuity of the Union depend
upon the preservation of the right of local self
government unimpaired to all the States"
It is true that no serious objection can be
made to this clause of itself; but, when
taken into consideration with the follow
ing, the true animus is at once apparent:
s'The faith of the people of Texas stands
pledged to the preservation of a republican
form of government, and, subject to this linlitd-
fica only, they have at all times the right to
alter, reform or abolish their government in
such manner as they may think expedient."
If this is not virtual reassertion of the
right of secession we fail 10 understand it.
No one can deny that it bears evidence of
having been framed for the express pur-
pose of concealing through ambiguous
phrase the most reasonable principles.

THE New York Tribune Washington
correspondence states that Senator Spencer,
General B. F. Butler, "Boss" Shepherd
and Postmaster Burt, of Boston, are trying
to drive Mr.. Jewell from the Cabinet. As
Spencer is in Alabama, Butler in Missouri,
Burt in Boston and Ex-Governor Shepherd
is absorbed in private business, it is to be
hoped the Postmaster General will not be
disturbed by the Tribune mans assertion,
although he may ''ha7e finished his report
and handed it to the President As the
time set for the driving has arrived and the
drove has not started the report is probably
about as reliable as the most of such

Nor LONG AGO the New York Tribune
was in the habit of charging that the De-
partment of the Interior was filled with
disreputable, dishonest and incompetent
officials. Now that Secretary Chandler
has begun to make a few removals and
changes it has suddenly discovered thas. be
lis stalking through the Department with
"apaxs-iinh- hand chopping of the
"head of every clerk who failed to put
chs name on Judge Edmunds' sub
'tscription list" OF course, both of these
statements are false. The new Secretary
proposes to manage the Department after
his own style and in such way as to Sc
cure the best interests of the Government
without forfeiting any personal RESPONSE
bflity. The removals and changes he has
made have been prompted by this desire
alone. Above all things, however, he is
to be praised, because his course has
earned for him the censure of the TriJTae.

THE intellectual Depairtmint" of the
New York Herald is still absorbed with
fear that President Grant will involve the
country in war with Spain by recognizing
the independence of the Cuban patriots.
But still nors Strange, the Washington
correspondent of that journal has learned
that the President ignores Secretary Fish
in the negotiations now alleged to be pend
ing with Spain. A wonderful journal is
the Herald. Its news and its editorial con-
clusions are about as correct as the maps it
prints of Stanley's African rambles.

CANT the Secretary of the Interior do
something for Aleck Mcclure of the Phila-

tricks of telling of what other boys had
when we wanted similar favers. Aleck
talks wonderfully knowing" himself and
like he wanted to be coaxed, "sugared' or
