M.. to 4. P. M -J Lecti re of Geo. D. Prentice. The dis tinguished editor of the Louisville Journal addressed a respectable sized audience at Starr Hall on Tuesday evening last. That spacious hall would have been crowed had the Juniors, on whose invitation he came, been informed of his coming in time to have given a more extended notice. Through the tardiness of some persons charged with the duty of informing them by Mr. Prentice, only one days notice was had. The temperance meeting also prevented a great many from attending. The lecture was a strange compound of truth and error of bitter indignation and over wrought pictures of corruption. If the description of American statesmen given by Mr. Prentice is true, well may the American people exclaim with him, "How has our country fallen!" Ha made but few, if any exceptions, in his sweeping denunications of members of Congress, but we think we could point out to him many men who after long years of service in the National legis lature have neither stolen from the Treasury or acted otherwise corruptly in the discharge of iheir public duties. There is in Congress, tneiTas puie and honest, as patriotic and as faithful to the great interest of their country, as in any other department of life. But it is equally true that a large number o those in power are as corrupt as Mr. Prentice or any one else can conceive. Power is at all times corrupting in its influence, and the hitory of the world proves that those who Lave enjoyed it for a long series of years, without becoming debauched, are exceptions. From no littlo experience and observation in tin! State legislature and around Washington we do not believe any man can attend Congress and become rich from the cempensation made to him by the government; and the in ference is a just one, in our opinion, that i i-verv man vho becomes enriched at Washington, or in the State legislature, becomes so j by bribery and corruption. We know men j who entered our State legislature poor, and j who left it wi .h perhaps thousands, anil wej tliink wo know how they obtained them. i Members of Congress who take their families ; with them, pay a rent of $'H)00 a year give j parties which cost i'roin 50O to 1000 dollars j dinners at a cost of from 100 to 200 dollars, and other expences equally extravagant cannot afford to it on their salary. But we did not intend to enlarge on i tl.e lecture of Mr. Prentice, and we repeat, j that while there was much truth in it, it was j entirely too sweeping in it. denunciations. j Temvebaxit. Mektinu. There was a : crowded HUiliencu at the temperance meeting j a Union Chapel, on Tuesday evening last. ! Tho address was imu'e by Rev. Wm. Taylor, known by the sobriquet "California street j Treacher," which was listened to with great! is so brief. Deprived as we were of the p'easure of hoiirinir it, wo cannot give even a biief synopsis of its points, but from the ge.ie- j rnl expression given iu regard to it, we doubt j not it will prove "bread cast upon the water."

Major Kirtley of the City Hotel, was

brought before Esq. Lyle. npon a charge of set liDg liquor on Sunday. Upon the examination of me prosecuune witness, one 1 1 arris, it wj muuu that he knew nothing whatever about the case. Mr. K. was dismissed. Broad-.lze. The facts in the case were a little different, and no apology of our neighbors can exonerate the proprietor of the Casel House. In the first place, Mr. Harris was not strictly the prosecuting wit neas. He filed an affidavit that he had good reason to believe Mr. Kirtley told liqaor on Sunday. The ground of his belief was, that he saw three vounir men come into a room of the Cassel House, call the bar keeper into the bar-room, and could imagine no other business they could have there on Sunday, but to get liquor. Mr. Kirtley was summoned and so were two of the young men. Tbey were the prosecuting witnesses, and we are told that thev awore that they got liquor or. the day and at the time designated by Mr. Harris. but that they did not pay for it, and for that reason Major Kirtley was dismissed. He escaped the law, but we ask the fathers of this city, whether they are desirous of having their sons furnished with liquor on the Sabbath day, because they pay liberally through the week. Kirtley is a liquor seller for the purpose of making money, and he may accommodate his customers on Sunday, with a view of fleecing them on other days. Is the Sabbath day to be no protection from the ( infernal traffic of the liqaor seller? Kirtley professes to close his bar on Sunday, but this trial proved that all that is necessary is, to call the bar keeper to his stand, and the Sabbath day is desecrated, and the morals of community destroyed. We may refer to this again. -.- Concert for the Bhsstfit of the Benevolent SoCiETV. The members of the Benevolent Society of this city, for the purpoie of replenithing their depleted j treasury, have determined to give aa "Old Folks' Con- ; cert" in the course or a few weeKs.prooaoiy on mo iu InstMt. in th.SWrrH.il. The Mitchell and the F.tell Band have kindly volnnteered their servicet. A ; ufficient Dumber of ladiee and gentlemen, who are j good lingers. hve cheerfully consented to participate j in ihe concert. A considerable number of the pieces. to be sung, hve been selected from those of days of j "anld lang ijne," uoh as Coronation, Old HnndredJ end othtrs. The singers will be dressed in costumes of I other days. A most inlereeung programme w... oe go.. ten up, and it is hoped our citizens, ia consideration of the object to which the proceeds are to be applied, and the interesting chara-'tcr of the performances, will generally attendE. Y. Teas advertises a large stock of fruit and ornamental trees of the best kinds, including most of the new fine varieties. He claims to have everything true to came, aud as he has had several years' experience iu his favorite pursuit, we presume he will give satisfaction to those patronizing Hose Hill Nursery."' We invite the attention of our lady friends and readers to the advertisement of Mrs. Bradbury, which will be found in another column One who knows, tells us her stock is very beautiful, and selected with good taste. Call and see for yourselves. The attention of the reader is invited to the advertisements of Underwood & Bro., who are now extensively engaged in the hardware trade, in addition to their stove and tin-ware business. They are fair and honorable dealers keep an excellent assortment of goods, and will sell as low as anv other hou-w ia the city. Their store is in the old Starr B lilding. I'hil. Wiggins has removed to the BroadAxe building, where he will keep for sale all kinds of meats, flour and feed, butter, egg3, vegetables, Jtc , &c. He designs to make it strictly a Provision Store, where families can be supplied with articles fresh and sweet, directly from the producers in the country. Giving this his undivided atteution, customers may rely upon being well provided for by Mr. Wiggins. The Misses Wedekind will remove their Millinery store to the late residence of Sarrnel W. Lnde, on Fearl north of Main street, on Tuesday next, and having received direct from the eastern cities a very large assortment of bonnets, flats, shakers, flowers, trimmings, c, they are now offering to the ladies of Richmond and vicinity a stock that has never beeu excelled in this city. All are invited to call and examine the latest fashions and styles. We dropped in upou our friend Dr. Webster, at his new rooms over T. Wright's store a few days since, and found them sumptuously and neatly tarnished easy of access, aud ail in most comfortable order. The Doctor is a Dentist of the live school ready to take advactage of every real discovery in his profession, and too iutel. lifrent to be humbugged by quacks and pretend ers. Thoe who may be so unfortunate as to need his services will find him expert and careful understanding every feature of the diseases of the teeth and gums. Wholesale Grocery Store. Messrs. J. M. fe J. W. Starr have purchased the wholesale Grocery Store of Brown, Morrow dr. Howe, and have made large additions thereto, and have now on hand the largest stock ever offered in this city. They can supply every demand for the retail trade, at Cincin nati prices. Having a large capital, tney are enabled to purchase in large quantities and at the lowest possible prices. Considerable business has for years been done in the wholesale line in this citv, but this house be ing exclusively of that character, will do an extensive business. We commend it to the retail dealers and tho trade. Their house is near the Railroad Station, and otherwise convenient. Flax Seed to Loas. The attention of the Farmers is invited to the advertisement of O. W. Barnes, who has a Urge quantity of Flax Seed to loan on very favorable terms.

It is hereby declared that au emergency exists for the "immediate taking effect of this act. It shall, therefore, be in force from and after its publication in the Indiana State Sentinel aod the Indiana State Journal. XW Moseley's "hell" was visited by a specimen of the JralnurJ article he is continually assisting to manniacture.who attempted to draw the 'stuff" itself ; but Moseley and his wife interfered, when the specimeu caught Mrs. M. by the hair, and attempted to strike her with a" 'billy." The half-finished article was taken to Esq. Lyle's and $16,30, fine and costs, assessed against it. Where men en-ae in a business that onlv tends to Krutalize and degrade, should they not be eft to suffer the consequences, without the interference of the law? That's f A question. For the Palladium Messrs Kiutors: As "Uncle Adam" and 1 ftre emratred iu a conMeutial correspondence, and oer Uncle." did vou ever read the following couplet: '-He that Gjchtj end runs away May live to fitht another day." your last letter brought it very forcibly to my mind, for I thought you had "enlisted during the war, and not for a single catnpatgu. When Christ i ut his ministers to preach the ' unsearchable riches" of his kingdom, christiauity was iu its iufar.cv. r.ud he took them under His esnecial care, and iu order that thev might not have their minds disturbed aoouiiooJ or raiment, He gave them a promise that they should not want, j i-t as God did when the children of Israel were provided with quails and manna for forty years in the wilderness; but as soon as they reached the land of promise these supplies ceased, aud they had to d-pend upon their own exertions tor the good tilings of earth. Now, as Christianity is liie miirhui'st orginizatnn mi the earth, it is but rt a inab.e to suppose that the ministers do not need that especial care that the farly preachers did, hence they have ad pt.-d the creed that -selfprviT ,-iUoii is the hrst la ot uauire " t ii--le, i will you plea? inform me how rnu.'h tho liquor j seller lacks of coming up to ihe'mor! dignity of a sinnerr" Sr.TH. j - ...

The fire was lighted iu a large pile ol shavings in the basement. It was fortunately extinguished before much damage had been done. l3The bill passed by the Legislature de creasing the rates of public printing was not : approved or vetoed by the Governor previous tu the adjournment of that body. According to the constitutional requirement in such cases it has been filed with the Secretary of State and is now a law. -rr"The Commissioners to locate the new Penitentiary, we understand, are to be John P. Dunn of this city, B. F. Mullen of Ripley, aud J. W. Blake of Clinton.
