BRECKINRIDGE's GALL

w. G. p Breckenridge of Ken
lucky announces that he will make
a speech in his district within a
few weeks, in advocacy of his candi-
dacy for a return to Congress, He
certainly possesses unlimited gall
to push himself forward after ac-
knowledging his guilt in a laison
with Miss Pollard,
Late adyices say that the story
is going the rounds in Washington
city to the effect that prior to the
commencement of the Pollard
Breckenridge suit, Col. Breckin-
ridge assured his wife upon the
memory Of his sainted mother that
the charges brought against him by
Miss Pollard were wholly false, and
the whole case was piece of black
mail Upon the strength of this
statement, it is said that Mrs.
