LewibIW Proprietor Thomas Kramer f r Discount Produce Bills aa other Basinet Paper, also, purchase Not of Hud, receive Money on V: posit, and attend to ail ether business appertaining to Banking. 1 1 Office Hours, from 8, A. U., to 4, P. M Jlf Visit e. We do not wish to be accused of vain boasting, when we say there are individuals ' engaged in one branch of business whom ' we never visit, from the fact that their occupation is to destroy everything noble and of good report about their fellow-men, and so brutalize and degrade their natures, as to change their likenesses from the image of their Maker, to that of the fiend incarnate.' , We will not loan what little respectability j we may have, by entering their foul dens ; j for we regard their business as the founda- i tion and prolific source of every crime known to the statute. Yet, as low down in the deepest depths of infamy as we do re- j gard the drunkard manufacturer, we will ! not knowingly do him injustice by a mis- j statement of h is position. j Notwithstanding our expressed repug-j nance abovo to visiting a liquor-seller's laboratory, we do receive an occasional viai1 j from one of this class, and on Thursday, ' after the paper was issued,' and whiUt busily engaged at press, the proprietor of the Catsel House, Mr. Kirtley, made his appear-' auce and desired us to say that Sam Camel it no partner of hit that he, himself is tho ; sole proprietor of that House that the 24 pieces of silver was not divided between 1 him and Sam, die. He further informed us ' that the grand opening of the Cassel on ' Christmas, was "in accordance with high J toned Southern principles 'twas the way he had been used to in Kentucky," die. If the disgraceful scenes that occurred 'In his hou?e on Christmas, are what Mr. K. 1 terms "high-toned Southern principles," may Heaven in its mercy save our city from being again selected as the place in which to exhibit the dcvil-opmenl of such principles! 'Twns the first time our eyes ever rested on the new proprietor of the Cassel, and we xnnst nay that he is both polite and gentlemanly in his manners, well calculated to do ' fifty fold more harm in the infernal liquor j traffic than was his predecessor; and, there-: fore, it is that we the more deeply deplore ' his connecting a bar with the legitimate ' business of Hotel-keeping, because of t he per-' niciuus influence ht will exercise over re-, fipectaLle men old as well as the young in inveigling them into his house and indue- ' ing them to partake of the damning cup. Locking at the woful results of the traffic that arc daily transpiring around us the burning of a houso on Thursday night last, the torch to which was applied by a liquor-seller, through the agency of a drunken husband and father, for the sake of a small piece of silver tho freezing to death on the same night, of John Burke, in sigh! of his home, murdered, aye, murdered by inches, fur the sake of the five cents that are now in the pocket of Hugh O'Bryan, whose sign has on it: "Uv and li t Lice!" Looking at these inevitable results of liquorselling, we fay, the man who so recently opened out the same business, on "hightoned Southern principles," hero iu our midst, must not bo surprised at the plain talk he hears from us on that subject, lie must not be surprised to he.tr his name used as a by word and reproach by every friend of temperance and good order in Richmond, as long as he continues selling his Cassel liquors on "high -tuned" principles, which, we beg to asute him, is but a prelude to the sale of precisely the same article on Vwtoned principles, in the most degiaded hellbole iu our city. We ctiinot conclude this article c f "takini back" the intimation made in our last No. of a partnership existing between MessrsKirtley and Cassel, in the 10 cent liquor business, without congratulating the latter on getting out of a traffic that carries in ts train such deplorable consequences. He must, he cannot but feel better for the change. JC9"The Axe gives us the name of Daniel J. Reber, as the man who "kept a large tock of liquors on hand" whilst we were puffing his saloon, and avers that if we did not know that fact, we were "verdant," as it "u-as the town talk." That is to say. every-body intu: that Mr. R. had liquors and talked about it! This is simply a falsehood of the editor's own eoining, and he knew it when he penned it; for a large majority of those who patronized Mr. R. would never hare done so if they had been aware of his keeping, in connection with bis Saloon, intoxioatiog liquors for sale that's so! The Axe editor first gives the Kirtley House a general puff then swears he didn't puff Kirtley At all, only the mechanics who did the wotk eaya that he is a prohibitory j law man and at the same time is in favor of licensing men to sell "vile compounds," and 1 then winds up by justifying himself in puff-; ing Kirtley' liquors by charging ns with doing the same thing to Reber' stock! The story of the kettle suits Art. exactly: "It was cracked when he got it returned it as soon as he had done using it as sound as a ' dollar; and never borrowed it!" ty We regret to learn that Hon. L. D. 1 Campbell, one night last week, was knocked down by some scoundrel with a slung shot, ; and his skull badly fractured. He lay exposed on the sidewalk about an hour, when be was discovered and taken home. His ' wounds are said to be very severe. aCwSTKeXt Tnearlav. tit ..J Editorial Conventions meet at Indianapolis,

A New Fashioned Table can be

seen at the Auction Room of Dennis 5c Per ar, on Main street, which Is indeed and emphatteally handy. It is octagon in form, and ils center is detached, (leaving sufficient space on the edges for plates,) and is in form of a large wheel which revolves on an iron pivot. On this revolving circle, the victuals and "condiments" are placed, and there is no need for the one who does not live by tread alone.toask for meat on the opposite side of the table, he merely stretcheth forth his hand and turneth the table opposite his own plate, aod Lelpeth himself, following strictly the &crip - tural injunction of "asking no questions. It is the table around which to gather the "olive plants," and we commend it to the careful inspection of every hea l-of-a-family who

has, or expects to have a supply of the kind Ured himself very much in suffering himself of plants above alluded to, surrounding his!to oe defeated by running as the Decocraiic; table. It was manufactured by I. A. Bal- nominee for Sneaker. '

He has applied for a patent, and expects to receive one on it soon, ana in Uie rcea" time he folicits orders from tho?e who may fancy a table ot this kind, after examining it thoroughly. Address I.

John L. Kobinson Begins u Figuf. and gel Whipped. Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, the Palmer House became the scene of a disturbance that is likely to be qnite extensivelv noticed, and which we, therefore, desire to relate accurately- The parties were John

L. Robinson, United States Marshal, and

Silas Colgrove, Representative from Ran- i . I.r' " dolph county. The circumstances, as we'B'or . r , , , , , City f!t 1-1.1 learn from eye witnesses, are about as fol-; Hrru it bt.i . lows: Some time after dinner Mr. Col- - J1 btl grove went down to the Palmer House to i Butr jr ib . , see Mr. Bennet, of Union county. While ! .1 ,rr-t'

conversing witn mat gentleman in the hall,! at the foot of the stairs, John L. Robinson ' passed two or three times with his cane in his hand, and when Mr. liennet went away, j he came up and in a rude tone accosted Mr. j Colgrove, asking him if he had not made j some remarks in the House in regard to his o v .. r .i i- -. j o. . , Z' (Robinson e) use of the L nited fctates funds? i, r, , ' , , ,. Mr. Colgrove answered "yes, and RobinJ . son then began an angry conversation, wlnrh trrpw hlrli anil httl nn itfx'h c:.T lr -r l- , , i i - i . , Mr. Robinson used abusive epithets, such as "a o.ui.. j "d d son of a b h." quite liberally ' t. . 1 . a rttrim Kn t m n , 1 , , . .1 .-. iTnIirrr.vA retrrfefl hnt ms la nr. ..-.. i.mt no u monsira - in creat ranv. rn. of violence.

He w..s taken up, and wa-hed and put to bed, where he remained at the latest advices. It was a shameful .iflair, but Mr. Colgrove must be acquitted of all responsibility lor its sl.auiefuli:ess.

Robinson, from ail we can le-irn, was terribly punished fur his conduct. Col grove is uninjured. Tried. John L. Robinson yesterday morning appeared before the Major, by C Ij. Dunham, his Attorney, and was lined S25 and costs, in all amounting to for an assault upon Hon. Silas Colgrove, at the Palmer House on Sunday. The fine was "stayed" by Mr. Carmachael, of the Palmer House. Ind. Jour. Governor M"illarl's Itlcjige. IspiaxaPiiLIS, Jan. 7. Gov.

He recommends the erection of suitable buildings for the use ol State offices. Judges, of the supreme Court, and a depository for tha public records of the State. lie says that the revenues of the Wabash & Krei canal have greatly diminished, and it is feared will prove wholly inadequate t-i keep the canal in repair, and by them alone it cannot be maintained, and that the holders are unwilling to sustain the wotk bv anv other means than those derived from the re ICI.UCP, llilllHL rtilCdUt IlilCLC'l unn lliill l the ent5re deljt f ,he State in the workitse! besides $800,000 for its completion.

He calls the attention of the Legislature to the necessity of increasing the silarits of Judges of the Sudreme Court, aad the Governors salary; says that the laws of the State in regard to the qualification of voters and the election of ofSeers are inadequate, and a law ' t lit. i i i i 1 1 - ashould be pa-sed which should inflict hevere t ,i t , a- , , penalties on the election of officers who tier, - . - i i i - -,i i dine to receive leiral or admit ii!i-rHl votes; , , . . . . ,. , nod tiiat provisions sliuM be made to tunI - u . . 1 is!i erim.nail v any on who leaves t::e countyrC i - - r i . i - i ot Ins residence ami ones to another with r - a -i lil.t71iL!tPM ll .UlllI cSULl ICvllllllll iiuu.r. . , i .t . 3 -i recoimneitds that an appropriation be made for the enlargement ot the Insine Asvlum, j aud lecalls the attention ci the Leuislature , I ei'isiature - ,. . i - to the cinditioti of the Penitential i ing them to his opinion expresses message to tL special session.

History is said to be philosophy teaching by example, and if this be true and it doubt-a, less is, there is a s-hort lesson in regard to the African Slave tiade, which it mav not unproDiaoie lor t.iis country to study at this tll,lc- II ,s k,iwn ll-t s!ve trade is on ' flourished to a greater or less extnnt " i.iu in .uu.t. nu. u t.siatiu it;- tuc laws which stricilv prohibit it. Rut those who have iuvotigiited this sub- j joct state that the encouragement depends : almost entirely on the disposition of the Cap-; taiu General lor the time being of that Island. : The slave tiade papers for IB 10 report that ! the Cuban slave trade was almost annii.ila-1 ted under the administration of Captain Gen- j eml Valdez, who. it pj.jiears, was hone.-t and ; sincere in his eti'.irts to suppress it. It ap- i pears, however, that the suppression of that trade has been prejudicial to the in erestsof. various parties, who have pos'e-'Sed a con- ; trolling iuti-icnce in Sptni.-co politics, and those who arc too fVidit'ul in enforcing th laws against it are very apt to be summarily j recalled for mysterious reasons. After Val-' d z had been sjpplanted by another General, ; the trade suddenly revived, and saoa attained a height it had never reitchcd before. j With the historical fact clearly established that the continuance or activity of the Cuban : slave trade depends uron the disposition of the Cap'ain (reneral of that Island, is it not worth while to consider how far a paralell ' case is presented in the recent landing of African slaves in Georgia by the Yacht1 Wanderer, and how fir the uisposkion of the Captain General of the United Sutes, has influenced the conduct of those engaged in ' that efarions transaction. i , , , 3.iir tjrovernor Corwm. as our reader' , , - w n - r know, denied t: r ug!i t ie C injiTina i G iret'.e, , ,. . . 3 ,, , ., . . the s ory tnat fce-iator le-irje !
