■ Mall Boatload Kata French. ■ Mp. .W4LD0: —Once mom allow mo a' little space in 'Bay a fej? things in regard to'the Mail Boat Monbpoly, Ind the KafaFrVnch. Since I last noticed them, the Mail Boala have raised their fare from Patriot to; Cincinnati for one,person, from 50 els tojone dollar and twenty* five' cents*,'and the Kate French baa reduced here from one dollar to 50 £ta. Bat the Mail- Boat’s lack?y, the Kentucky. cfirnes &t SOcts. My own ifhpression was and U that the Kate should not reduce ber fanj'helbw the oTd Wisconsin' prices, but her bwners thought other-, wise, and;reduced it tp.a ; level rwith the Mail Boat's .lackey's/ The Kate Is still paying her Way* ami’layingtipa little, not for a rainy day, but for low water. It is the determination of her owners to run her against the Mail Boat Monopoly; or all hazards' for the next two years, or longer,, or apme*;other,good.boat in her place. .She.has already saved.the public more than three times her cost.,, She has 1 given the monopoly more trouble in the reduction of. overgrown profits than oil the, opposition; thai preceded her in tho trade; and she has “auew.hiore left ,of the same sort." She; is not in the trade from any ill will to the'owners of (he Mail Boats, but to redress a pofalic wrong that was borne till it coaid be endunfd n6’ longer; and when that wrong shall have been duly punished. and redressed,- and abolished, her mission will be ended, ond n at till then. Il ia -well known that corporate monopolies, are sopUess. Their God _ is gain, and the public good their scorn. Last Sunday Mr.; Andrew Shafer Came down from Ojhcinnati ou the Strader, and paid bis faro ! to this place. The Clerk refused to land him here, bat offered to land him, at Big bone, or W arsaw. When asked*how far Bigbono' was from Patriot; he replied five.miles, and' Warsaw * abbotthe some. / Mr. Shafer avos sick, and unableto" walk so far, and so informed the Clerk; and therefore perferred to be carried by, rather ,than be landed fivo milesabove tbetown, os bethought bo could get back on the Telegraph on Her np passage, : ( and ao was left at Warsaw*; but had to italic back. It. would seem that the soco'nd Clerk told .a' falsehood about the distance fromBigbone to Patriot, lest Sir. - Shafer. should desire to land there, and walk down,,it. being not over two miles [ travel, and. seven miles from * W arsaw, .where he was > loft, and from- where he" walked hero. ..The Clerk of. the Strader made him pay* full fare, aud refused jto give him a free passage on the up Boat. Mr.- Shafer is an industrious 'hard -working mechanic in bumble life, and the treatment* he* received is all the worse on that account. To force 50 cts out of a poor inoffensive laborer that could Aot defend his rights against a rich overgrown monopoly is-a of petty cowardly meanness that not one of the rich proprietors, or the Oapt. or principal Clerk of the Strader would be guilty of. They would, each scorn it for himself, And Vet in the division of the responsibility among the monopolists/each one's share of it is so little that it will scarcely *be felt; and this outrage of an upstart employee wilt doubtless pass unreproved, and the laborer’s wrong remain anrcdrCFsed. In a case like (his with law and equity on bis aide, bow could individual poverty got justice in a suit with combined corporate soulless wealth ? Th’e thingwould bo impossible. , ; . Besides, the Strader was hailed at this point on Snnday, ;and the Telegraph on Monday, a half dozen passengers waiting and-anxious togpt on board,- each . day. Each day too, the mails due here were carried by, with, letters and Daily papers pti; hoard. Dbfing this month these boats have carried bur mails past, up and down, till three were due, and left at the same time. What could be more provoking on the part of common comcrvand mail contractors, than such conduct ? xK*now o/ nothing. ASTX;M0J>0P0LY. Patriot, Juno 14, 1858.

la the News of Jane 1868, Is nq article headed, "A Model Congressman." Uufler this head, the News talks.about "tlm English Compromise BUI/’ arid “Mr. Ebgliah.” Antoog other things of a similar import, the Ifews says: V JFi never could Irust'the soldier, who in the heat of battle deserts oar ranks, aud goes over to the enemy, and after fighting for them again deserts and retarna to bis first love, flto Republicans have dabbed him, in consequence, ‘the doable traitor,’ —Mr, English hat owed bis success here* Iqfore to tria indomitable perseverance, low cunning pjid cAfcanery, and his skill as a political manager.!* .

■ There is nn old proverb that says—"It is a dirty bird~ that foalsIts own nest*' Wra. H. English is an old standard bearer in tits democratic army ol Indiana. Doubtless rite alloihcF men in political life and out of 5t,‘ he bas his faults, “To err is human," —aud Mr. English doubt* less makes mistakes, bat Jt am assured by u democrat longhand intimately acqnaited withhim, asapolilician, that ho is lion* oirabld and trustworthy in aft'things; and that this stuff in the Newa'is unquestionably a gross and inexcusable fabrication. 1 have £Omo little acquaintance with Mr. English/ and know that bis public reputation is good.: The News says—“the partlculan" of this "sponging" story “were given na by a gentleman (?) just returned from Washington City, he receiving ifao story from the Jualsna Clerks in Washington." If the News were an intelligent gentleman, or any kind of a ’gentleman, who might have been imposed, upon by some “dirty dog” to whom Mr. English had given “the cold shoulder," it would bo proper to ask the nonie of the author. But the News has hut been, imposed upon in this matter'. The "story” is told by an anonymous puppy, that barks, and curls his tairbelween his legs and >«ntf; ond the News dare not, perhaps cannot give bis name.
