The question then arises, will the Democratic party of to day know what to do with these extracts'from Ihe obsolete vocabulary, of their ancestors? Hating grown gray in the practice of dishonesty and indecent^, can they be expected to reverse a habit so chronic as to have become second nature?

SPEAKING of the prominent Democrat of this city whose recent letter to the "Senttoll*' Mr. VOORHEHS and the "Journal" clique, the Bourbon organ says:
And we Happen to know that nothing pleases that "prominent, influential" and ebneeited gentlemen more than to win the approbation 01 the Radicals. Let him keep oil with hi* fawning—'Democrats don'Pcare.
This is not our quarrel, and we' have no special interest in it, but it is our right to say that the geBtleman thus shabbily treated by the "Journal" is regarded as a much stronger and more dangerous enemy to the Republican party than any of the politicians whom our cotemporary de-
idf tibtket that his letter put an immediate check upon the "Journal's" howling for an Eighth of January Convention. It is Also a noteworthy fiust that MR, VOORHEE8 leeps ^niftenlJoiigntfre the sharp rapping which that "conceited gentleman" gave him in the "Sentinel" letter.

LOUISVILLE, KY., December 1.—This morning, W. Lindrum, a night clerk in the Louisville postoffice, was arrested for robbing the mails in the office. .Eleven letters were found on his person. The robbery has been going on lor some time, and Lindrum has been leading a fast lite, keeping a woman, horse, &c, and sporting valuable diamonds on a thousand dollars a year. These rings led to his being suspected a watch was set for him, .and this morning he was seen taking letters from the distributing depot. A policeman on tbe watch immediately arrested him, add recovered the letters. Lindrum was lodged in jail. He will be examined before a United States Commissioner tomorrow. He has over. $1,000 in banki which, of course, is apart of the proceeds of his robbery. He is a son of J.. B. Lindium, for many years City Clerk of Covington, Ky. The affair excites much attention, and Postmistress Porter is much distressed over it, as she put tbe youbg man in the place from friendship for his family, who are her personal friends. Lindram is not much affected. It is sup posed that he relies on influences from Covington to secure his pardon. He has been in the place afciout two years. When the policeman tapped him on tbe shoal der, remarking "I want you," Lindrum at once replied, "I know What you want," and surrendered. His bank book, diamonds, including a cross valued at over $1,000, and other effects, were immediately taken possession of. Ills believed that the robberies extend over a year, but they have been very bad within the paai two months. .Lindrum claims that he holds the diamonds in pawn for montey loaned to an acquaintance named Philpot. i.• vj gK''
