to enable them to vote.
A PROMINENT Ohio Democrat
Hon. HI. B. Payne, of Cleveland
"can't go" Tom Ewing and his trashy
financial notions. As an honest mon
ey man, he is doing what he can for
Foster. Many other Democrats in
that State, it is said, feel the same
way and win act accordingly. They
are sick of hrmhHggery.
THE expectation of live cattle to
Great Britain is now conducted on a
larger scale than ever before. No
less that $500 head have been ship,
ped from New York since the 18th Of
July by single man, and twenty
six steamships have been in part load
ed with horned cattle, not to speak
of considerable shipments of Ameri-
can mutton.
CONSIDERABLE speculation has been
going on in the correspondence col
umns Of some of the Eastern papers
as to who wrote the declarations of in
dependence, the. discussion having
been provokea by the assertion that
Thomas Paine was its probable an.

over, without much new light from
either side, we feel it our duty TO

BACK in Posey county, Indiana,
they have a panorama of the Holy
Land, which is enlivened by sparring
matches, conducted by two eminent
bruisers between the scenes. A few
evenings ago the pugilistic encounter
became unnecessarily warm, and was
prolonged to such an extent that the
boy at the crank became disguised
and turned on the next pictars, Just
as the ninth round was about to con-
efude. The consequence was that one
of the combatants was knocked clear |
through the ruins of Solomon's Tenn
pie. and took refuge behind the Sea
of Galilce just as his adversary kicked
his boot through that sheet OF water.
The panorama is now closed for re

JOHN BRIGHT is evidently not
much of an. Imperialist and does not
take at all kindly to the Beaconsfeld
policy in regard to the Indian EN-
pire. At meeting in, London, re-
Gently, to consider the state of India,
Mr.. Bright is reported TO bave said
that if it were really necessary, as
now to expend over half the Indian
revenue on the army, it seemed to
him it would be almost better to con-
fess our failure, and say the Govern
ment of great Empire in Asia, by
rulers sent from England, is impossi-
BILE, and ought never to have existed. y
