+ 1.-THE New York World last winter
had an editorial one column long on
the enormity Of the Herald's inter
yiew Of Conkling. Now it buys an
interview from Conkling's discharged
guerilla. l would interview Apollo
if l could hold him long enough by
the hair. Mr.. Conkling has been
playing with printers ink and is sur
prised to find that it sticks to the
hands. Anxious to disparage the
Administration and libel all its
friends, he set up smut machine
and "inspired" it, crying meantime
ut isn't my organ !" He talked all
the rage, contempt and inuendo he
could TO all professions of people,
aud If some Of it gets in type he
says: "Private conversation, not stepo-
graphically taken down, therefore
don't remember it. Gentlemen, this
is an outrage p The fact is Mr..
Conkling is a perfumed sneak, an ap-
pretended Iago, like that base cour-
tier shut in the chest, who peeped on
Cymbeline and belittled her lord.
"In intercourse he takes no heed
Of his guests prediction, but goes
on abusing the person he happens to
be pursuing ad nauseum. Nor is his
language uniformly clean, for he has
a full fund Of yglgSr illustrations.
When he gets on what is called his
"high horse" it's simply reckless
monopoly of the conversation, picking
out people present, here and there, for
intermediate satire while he unspar-
ingly denounces the main object Of
his raid. He sneers, he stabs, he
sheds green lights from bis eyes, he
'glares, he gibes, until a devil seems
to have possessed him. His mature
powers and eafnered knowledge then
are like a ripe shock of corn on fire,
throwing its burning fodder upon the
dry harvest.

God could let down into that human

was one thing his neighbors could do,

AT PERRY.

Some time week belbre last, two
| young men were travelling through
| Rails county committing petty dep
relations, and upon stopping at the
residence of an old lady lear New
London represented to her that they
were after horse thieves, and in some
way obtained three dollars in money
from her. After leaving there, they
continued to commit their depreda-
tons until nabbed by the officers of
the law, and taken to Perry for ex-
animation. They had their prelimar
nary examination on Tuesday last,
and at night were placed under guard.
VIM. Grub, Squire Taylor and Nh.
Harrison acting as their guards.
About 2 O'Clock Friday morning,
Feb. LIST, some person or persons,
knocked at the door for admission,
whereupon VIM. Grub arose and
went to the door to ascertain who
wished to obtain an entrance. As he
reached the door, and opened it about
half way, the outside party fired into
the room, the ball barely missing his
head, and burying itself in the arm OF
Squire Taylor. Three more shots
were fired in quick succession, one of
them entering the left side of Mr..
Grubb just below the heart, and mar
rowly missing his heart.
During the excitement which ensu-
ed, the party Or parties made their
escape.
Our informant states that strenuous
efforts are being make to ferret out
the guilty parties, as their intentions
doubtless were to liberate the thieves
whom 1.-The above named gentlemen
were guarding. 1t is to he hoped
that the efforts Of the officials will be
crowned with success
