THIS item from the Vincennes "Gazette" of yesterday would stem to indicate that the Marshal of that ancient municipality is in a bad way:

JUDGE JERRY BLACK,of Pennsylvania referring to the Tammany thieves, says: ''To save the Democratic party alive, it must repudiate these scoundrels utterly.

THE Pan-handle train, through from the East, was only six hours behind time last night. It is a feature of railway management to fix up a time-table so that it is impossible to run the trains by it and this gives active employment to train dispatchers and telegraphers.—Cincinnati Coumicrcial.
This seems to be a prominent "feature" of the Pan-Handle's management, whereby connecting lines and the traveling public suffer injury and annoyance.
ON last Saturday, in Henderson, a negro named Posev, and a white man, .named Carlton, had a difficulty, in which it is said the negro threatened Carlton life. Later in the evening Carlton met Posey in the road, two miles from the citv, and without further provocation, shot him dead. Carlton, after examination, was discharged. Suppose the boot were on the other foot—if Posey had killed Carlton under the same circumstances. would he have got off so well?—

SEVERAL erudite Democratic editors have simultaneously discovered why Chicago was burned. The conflagration, they argue, was a judgment sent on that city to punish her Union people for their sympathy with SHERMAN and SHERIDAN in their burning operations down South during the war! But the Democratic "war-a-failure" Convention of 1S64 was held in Chicago! Wasn't that & fair offset to the Union sympathy? And besides, didn't the Chicago "Copperheads" get as badly scnrcbed as the "Black Republicans"? Did the flames

From, the Vincennes Gazette,

Afire broke out in the old hotel on the corner of Second and Perry streets, this morning about 2 o'clock, and in a few minutes the whole building was envel oped in flame. The building has been undergoing extensive repairs during the past two months, and was ready for occupancy. This hotel, laterly known as the Merchants' Hotel, was a relic of "ye olden time." It was built during the war with England in 1811-12* 13, by a Frenchman named LaSalle, and for forty years was the largest hotel in the State, was
known
through the West
as the LaSalle House. It was a noted rendezvous for traders, hunters and emigrants and as the headquarters for the TNT. R!I A»!O1 HRTNORNMONF If. WAS T.NFI Territorial Government. It was the half-way post between Louisville and St. Louis, was a favorite point for fitting out expeditions for crossing the Plains.

It was fortunate for our city that it rained this morning had it been dry as on the previous morning, the fire might have swept through the city.
THE noted and justly celebrated stallion Blackwood, owned and raised by Mr. Andrew
Steele, of this county, was sold

PROSECUTION OF DEFAULTERS. Charles O'Connor said to-day that the work of prosecuting the defaulters of the city is going on well. Facts gained show that many who now think themselves safe from the storm, are likely to be overthrown in spite of their apparent bravery, and that many in the belief of being perfectly secure, will be surprised by finding themselves in the grasp of the law, and in such a degraded position that neither money nor influence will have the slightest effect in procuring their rescue. So certain is the work, that even if the enemy knew all the movements of the attacking party, they could not help being overthrown and annihilated.
