skIsSIsG A CUR.

In the speech of Mr.. Caldron Car
Isle, in Pollard VS.. Breckenridge, this
terribly telling point was made;
THAT defense stands wholly and
solely upon bis unsupported word"
continued the speaker. al ask you to
judge Of him only by what be has told
you here on this stand, a standard by
which every witness can be judged
without complaint. A father OF a
family with eight children, a devoted
wife, he tells you he lived for nine
years in calm, deliberate adultery with
this woman, not giving way to sudden
passion, not led by a misguided love,
but that lust and not love was the
bond between them. During these
years he was posing before the world
as & Christian statesman, a man high
in the councils Of the Presbyterian
Church. giving counsel to saints aud
sinners, while his life itself was lie.
He asks you to believe him on the
ground that during those half dozen
interviews with Mrs. Blackburn, a
woman high in the standing OF her
State, who must have won the admir-
alton Of every mothers sou in this
box, he told to her and carried on a
complicated lie. The exigency now
pressing the defendant was greater,
far greater" Mr.. Carlisle said, "than
any which bad hung over him before;
the inducemsnt for him to lie was
greater than ever; yet he asks the
jury TO believe his uncorroborated
word nov on the supposillon that be

MIsshIevOus statement Corrected.

In recent issue of the Washington
Post we find the following timely cor
rection of palpable errors, by the Hon.
Pat Henry; the ever vigilsnt repre-
sentative of the Interstate Levee AS
soeiation:
alt is remarkable how one erroneous
statement in a newspaper can become
the basis of a network of misrepresen-
tations. The Post copied an article
from the Springfelds Republican,
which stated that the levees on the
Lower Mississippi River are beginning
to break, and the waters to overflow
the low lauds' and, then proceeded to
make war upon the levee system"
The Post takes issue with the Repub-
icau, and maintains that the sys TEN
is not at frault, but that the manner
In which the money is appropriated
and spent is the trouble.
"Now, in the first place there is no
flood In the Lower Mississippi River
this year. The water had not been
against the levees, and OF course,
there have been no breaks. SO the
entire article is based upon condition
that dos not exist. The appropriations
for the Lower Mississippi River are
crrried in the sundry civil bill, under
the law OF the last Congress, which
authorized the expenditure of about
$2,50o,0e0 year for four years. This
money is allotted to the various
reaches of the river, from Cairo to
the Gulf, by the Mississippi River
Commission. This commission Is a
non-partisan board Of army and civil
engineers, and | doubt If any man
knows, the political bias of that body
So the money is certainly not allotted
for political purpose or upon cam
paign grounds The money is finally
spent by the Secretary of War aud Il
disbursed by the three officers Of the
Engineer Corps in charge OF the work
who let 1t to the lowest bidders.
"The work is progressing will
