Lamb-Lake and Gentle.

Cox OB ess sdjour nal last W ednesday. The Legislature adjourn? next MonNew Hampshire will hold an election next Tuesday. The President has signed the Civil Rights BUI, and it now becomes a law The Independent Convention will be held at Cleveland, Ohio, next Wednesday. The Kansas 'Legislature has passed a bill to loan the destitute counties $95,000 for six years without interest. The statement is made that Horace White, late of the Chicago Tribune, has invested in the stock of the New York Triune and will become o ;, e of the editors of that paper. The inhabitants of the grasshopper region on the Western frontier will be enrolled preparatory to the distribution among the needy of the $150,000 relief recently voted by Congress. The Indianapolis Sun is of the opinion that there can be but one reason assigned for calling an extra session of the Legislature, and that would be to repeal what was done at the regular session.

The Cook county Grand Jury have found indictments against the publishers and proprietors respectively of the Chicago Tribune, Tinies, Journal, InterOcean, and Post and Mail, for publishing lottery advertisements in violation of the statutes of the State. An exchange says: “Mr. John Young Brown was drunk when he delivered himself of his speech in the House, and it caused him to forget a gentleman s station by lying to the Speaker.” This conduct that betokens a ruffian and a blackguard is endorsed by the South. 11 igh -toned —very. The N. Y. Tr bune thinks there is a ray of hope that the President and the carpet-baggers are not to have their own way in everything. If the term “carpetbagger” was jammed down the throat of Whitlaw Read, and he sent to his native State, there would be one less carpct-bag Judas in New York. Very few, if any, of the newspapers which are giving currency to the New York Suns slanderous charges against Representatives Shanks and Hunter, with reference to their alleged corrupt connection with the Memphis and El Paso railroad scheme, would dare make, or give currency to. similar charges upon such slender evidence, against a member of their City Council, or their Representative in the State Legislature. We care very little, personally, or politically, or either of these gentlemen, but we do most heartily despise the cowardice that peddles a slander against them afar off which would not be published against citizens near by, who would hold the slanderer responsible.—Logansport Journal.

Sheridan and others who so cowardly insinuate that the people of Louisiana are not peaceably disposed, and the gentlest and least sanguinary people in the world are forcibly and pointedly rebuked by the following from the Attakapas (La.) Sentinel, a Democratic journal, and which breathes such a delightful spirit of Christianity and good will to men: “Every country has had its patriot to rise up with a Heaven-strengthened arm and strike down the tyrant oppressing it To kill in seifprotection is justifiable always. To rid the earth ol such a monster as Sheridan would be a deed for all the world to applaud. 5V e don’t mean for midnight masked assassins to murder him, but for the people of New Orleans, of Louisiana, rising iu the majesty of their might, to slay him on the streets as they would a rabid dog in the broad, open day, with the sunlight of God’s Heaven shining down upon the act, aud growing brighter in approval.” Note the delicate suggestion, that the old plan of midnight assassination in this instance be laid aside for daylight business. Such sentiments do the people and section honor! Oh for another Wilkes Booth.
