This game won't do—it will recoil on their own hands. They deceive no one btit their poor dupes the foreign citizens

whom they have betrayed into these violations of law, of right, and of honor. These Old Liners themselves, are responsible to their country and to their God, though they are traitors to the one, and blasphemers of the other. Their unmitigated slander of the American party had aroused the worst passions of our naturalized citizens, and it *as easy upon the morning of the election in Louisville to incite them to outrage We pity and compassionate those misguided men who were thus led by evil counsels, into outraging the laws of the country of their adoption, and hold up to eternal execration, as they deserve those who^ thus deceived and betrayed them.

^TAKING HIM IT MIS WORD.—Cant phrases are dangerous, especially when employed in documents relating to business. Recently, a merchant, not so celebrated for the elegance of his diotion as for the length of his purse wrote to his correspondent iu a distant city for a lot of flour, adding by way of showing his impatience, that he wanted it'the worst kind.' He was not less surprised than chagrined on the reception of the article to find it full of weevil, sour and musty.

Disinterested TestimonyWe learn from the Evansrille Journal of the 9th, that the highly respectable and intelligent editor of that paper •was in Louisville at the elections, and carefully noted the events as they occurred. We give the following extract from along editorial in the Evansville a

Foreign-born citizens came up in our prosence and voted, and voted while tickets openly while all the American tickets were yellow. There were a few drunken men about, but otherwise we never saw more peaceable voting. During the morning there had been prob-

ably half a dozen fights, but nothing ap 5 proacbing a riot, nor were they on ac2 count of Sag Nichts voting. Every4 oo thing promised to pass off comparative9 00 ly peaceably, and good citizens were

MI unfounded statement, and so much cal-

vince the people of America that they, the native born citizens, are a set of blood-thirsty villains while the foreign population is rather more than immaculate. The matter that sits heaviest on the their stomachs is that they inadvertent- arts were used by the opposite party to ly let a few truths slip into their papers, arouse the worst passions. But we let received per telegraph—a thing pass for the present

The first attack was made at a point far distant from the polls, and by Germans. They fired upon ihnocent persons who were offering them no insult, but were quietly walking or riding along the streets. Abaser outrage was never committed than this ac. of the Germans, utterly without provocation as it was, and committed upon respectable and quiet citizens who were committing no wrong and suspecting no wrong. There were five American citizens in a doctor shop at one time, severely wounded by those cowardly miscreants, and a sixth one, an officer, waiting for his turn.

the Bramim Poo Poo of old Roger.— Old Roger thought a moment. The question was a sarcastic one, and conveyed a severe reproof. "I suppose," said he, "it is to keep within de limits of human fortytude."

THE TUNNELS.—Tho Charlottsvillo (Va.) Jeffersonian states that the eastern tunnel on the Blue Ridge railroad, hasboen cut in 1855 feet it is 16 feet wide, and 21 feet high.—The whole is of solid rock the western tunnel has been cut. 704 feet the work in this end of the tunnel has been more difficult to perform than that in the eastern tunnel, owing to the caving in of the earth, and the large streams of water encountered there. Several portions of this end of the tunnel have beeu arched with brick. During the last month 77 feet have been cut in both tunnels, 1000 feet to finish when the daylight will shine through the Blue Ridge.

Gold in Carroll County.

The Delphi Times of the 1st says: THE GOLD DISCOVERIES. tif Last week we briefly alluded to the reported discovery of gold in this "vicinity. Since then we have been "prospecting," and we can now say that gold does, unquestionably, exist here but, whether in *"such quantities as will pay for working, remains yet to be determined. We tried the gravel formation in the hill, east of town, and found gold in every "pan." We have no doubt that, upon digging down to the gravel, any place in town, the color can be obtained. We also prospected the ravines putting into Bridge Creek, a mile south east of town, and found gold in nearly every pan-ful of dirt we washed. The "black sand" is the same here as in California, and is readily taken up by the magnet. The gold is very fine, and it would be difficult to save it without the use of quick-silver. We hope that an effort will be made to test the matter thorovghly. 'It is a question worthy of investigation how this gold came here. We have no quartz
