O^jrThe Lafayette Courier furnishes a most chocking illustration of moral turpitude

as exhibited by one who has professed better things. The case alluded to, has lately

come before one of the New York Courts.

The following is an ixtract lVom a letter received from there:

"A woman of bad repute brings an action against one of the ading upholsterers of the city for certain monies alledged to be due her. The uphoVeivr in question is said to have furnished the bawd with several thousand dollars worth of the most costly furniture, wherewith to decorate her establishment he agreeing to take his pay ftut of the general profits or income of the hou-e. The upholsterer and his customer, afu six months lime had passed, had a quarrel, however, which resulted in the present lawsuit. The defen lant is a leading man in $ town, and has always been accustomed to take a leading part in missionaiv and other moral movements, for the regeneration -f of the heathen."

common in almost every community.

O^rOur town has been in a stale of great

excitement during the past week, owing to

a prosecution of some thirty young men charged with riot. We understand they are

to be tried separtely and up to] the present

time but one trial has been 'accomplished. So far the defendants are triumphant. The

matter in issue, was very warmly contested between Messrs. .1. Wil&on and Wali.ace,

the respective counsel lor the State and de

present to have been highly oratorical and

The New York Tribune \yinds up

an article about Erie, with the following

sensible remarks. If the people of Erie

have any regard for themselves or their dc-

tested city, they will very soon take the

"back track," and get out of their present

difficulty.

The people of Erie have acted the part of madmen. They have inflicted an injury upon themselves from which they can not recover in years. A great trade is going on between the East and the West. The volume of travel is immense. An excellent iraiiroad has just been opened on the north |shore of Lake Eiie, through Canada.—

Yiew it in what light you may, it will be a 'formidable competitor for much of the business which has heretofore been done by :the road on the south side of the lake.—

There are no guage difficulties on the new road it is said to be a substantial, admirably constructed work, and it will be efiiciently managed. There will probably be no mobs to burn the bridges and tear up the rails, and we hardly think there will be an effort to repeal the charter of any of the companies. Tlie City of Erie and the State of Pennsylvania should ponder upon these things. The American Lake Shore Road lias lost a great amount of business, and I more friends, through (he diabolical conduct of the Erie people. These hitter have seemed anxious to drive business from them.

The time may come when they will be glad to induce its return they may set ihem-

selves about the work when it is too iate.

The arms they bore however, were not the manufacture of their own hands, although furnished by a tax upon their labor. They were made not in the workshops of the West but beyond the Alleghanies. From the Eastern workshops went forth the arms and munitions of war—from Kastern arsenals were freighted the wagons, and cars, and vessels, that bore to the bloody fields of Mexico the weapons of deadly strife iOur volunteers fought with swords and muskets stamped with "Springfield," and "Harper's Ferry." Indeed almost all our means of national defence, except men, lie east of the Alleghanies.

This is not as it should be. The man who owns real estate should have his title deeds in his own possession. We who fight, and have rights to maintain should have, at convenient stations among us, the weapons of our warfare.

ln time of peace also, we should have at I least a part of the benefits accruing from governmental paU'onpgc in making preparations for war. Our industry should be aided and our skill improved, by a fair share of the manufacture of our means of defence among ourselves. We have the materials in abundance from which to make our arms, and all lhe munitions of war, and our own safely requires that we hold at all times in our own hands a fair proportion of tlie means of national defence.'

It was with a view- to all these important objects that determined Mr. Pettit to introduce the resolution referred to above, knowing as he does, that, in these several particulars. no town on tlie Ohio can compete with CanneLon. Her cheap and inexhaustible sandstone so wed adapted for building, as is now .so amply attested by our cotton mills—her fire clay, her coal, her excellent hinding and her proximity to iron are known to ail, who are in the ast acquainted with this young and thriving town.— Within the last four years she has increased in population from a few hundred to between three and four thousand, a fact which sufficiently demonstrates the extraordinary healthiness of the locality. As a manufacturing point her superiority is acknowledged by all. Indiana has abundant reason to be proud of this growing village on the soutnern border of the stale, prornisin

\Ve understand that the members of Congress from this State generally, regard the project of locating the Arsenal at Canncl-

"We hope to see an efiort, and a unanimity of action on the part of our representatives, in pushing forward this measure, so important to tlie inhabitants of the Mississippi Yalley, fully confident, that in the thorough investigation of the advantages and disadvantages of different localities a-
