the Mayor's court, this forenoon, Thomas Buggy and Thomas Builderdeck were discharged from the custody in which they have been held since the 19th inst., charged with the larceny of 9130 from George Hendricks.

A GREAT and good name was taken in vain, by the thief who stole Hunter, Fouts& Thompson's sundown and team, when he assumed the patronymic of William Cliff. He will be confronted by the only real W. C. when he gets here!

M. O.

FROST,

THE

of the Marshall Herald,

is under obligations to Mr. and Mrs. William Patrick for as good a dinner as he could wish. This, be and his famiiy enjoyed during the fair. The provender was served a la picnic. We observed the Frost nipping the delicious viands, and pinching pampkins during the day. In fact, M. O. relied altogether on sampling, to arrive at his journalistic conclusions as to who had the best articles on exhibition.

death of the Rev. Peter Cart-

wright, the veteran Methodist pioneer of the West, announced in our columns yesterday, was not unlooked for, but on the contrary, expected for months. He was one of the pillars of the church when it needed pillars was a fit representative of this now powerful church, in the days wheu the cause needed to be advanced by tho sturdy yeomanry of the country. But his battles are over, and he has gone to his reward.

JOHN M. CLARY AND MISS

BRIDGET ROHEN were married at St. Joseph's Church last evening, Rev. Father Macavoy officiating. After the ceremony, the happy pair repaired to their residence, on Eleventh street, where they enjoyed a splendid supper with their friends. May the newly wedded pair, in their relations to each other, ever be as tender as the stake the groom serves up to the many customers of the Rupp butchering establishment.

AND

now Judge Breese, of Illinois,

has created a breeze in the ranks of Mr. Grant's straight Bourbon friends in the great Prairie State. He indignautly declines their nomination for Governor. These Bourbon fellows aspire too high ontirely. If they had nominated old Joe Led lie they would have had a fit representative. But wheu they nominate such men as Breese and Edgerton and O'Conor and Adams, it is very much like a vagrant proposing matrimony to a princess.

Another Fire at the Topping Mansion. Would it not be well to call out the Prairie City Guards and detail a squad from the company each night, to guard the Topping property, on South Sixth street Last night, for the fourth time, the premises were discovered on fire. Officer Harris scented something iu the breeze that smelled like burning wood-work last night for nearly an hour, and finally traced it up to the Topping mansion, where he found the floor burning. Without giving the alarm, he seized.a bucket of water and succeedcd in checking the fire before any serious consequences resulted. At the same time he would not allow the bystanders to give the alarm, as he very well kuew he could control the embryo conflagration,and did uot want to see the property damaged by water.

IN our columns of this issue will be found a full account of the race of Warmoth and Pinch back, from New York to New Orleans. Several days since, we published the outline of the singular occurrence in our telegraphic columns. Today we give our reallAs the full history of the extraordinary proceedure. We say extraordinary, because nothing of like character ever before occurred in this Republic of ours. It shows to what straits the Grantiles are reduced. Had Piuchback succeeded in this trick, his daring exploit would have been herald :d a- a great and honorable achievement by the Grant pres.*, throughout the Union. It shows that the Grantites are willing and anxious to carry theSouth for Grant, and will accomplish that end whether by fair or foul weans, if that thing can be dotie.

From the New Orleans Times, Sept. 19. WARMOTH'S HEAT.

The Great Gubernatorial Race between Warmoth and Pinchback—A Ride for Life—Strategy, My Boy, Wins the Day

Warmotli Comes in Ahead—The Cnstom Honse Jockeys Distanced. We have now to record one of the most extraordinary races which has come off in this country since the great contest of speed between Lexington and Lecompte, or of steam between the Natchez and Lee. Last Sunday week, Governor Warmoth being called to New "Vork, on urgent hueinesi connected with the railroad interest of the State, concluded to slip away as quietly as possible, leaving his Secretary in charge of his office and papers, and taking the precaution to lock up in an iron safe certain unsigned bills, to which it might be the interest of a certain party to give the force and effect of law before the approaching election.

Thus departed the Governor on his Northern flight. Pie had been preceded several days by Lieutenant Governor Pinchback, whose valuable services and effective oratory had beeu called into requisition by the National Committee of (lie Radical party, in the State contest in Maine. The ab.-ence of these two high officials, and the vigilently observed and well understood modesty and reserve of Speaker Brewster in the remote Parish of Ouachita, gave a pretty stroug assurance tliat the Governor's functions would not be assumed in his absence.

But *o important a fact and opening could not escape the notice of the vigilant Custom House. The adroit, daring, and energetic Packard was not the man to let so tempting an opportunity slip by to effect one of those revolutions peculiar to our polities, and which have been so often attempted against the present Governor. The occupation of the Executive office, the possession of the great seal of the State, and the handling of numerous unsigned acts of the Legislature, would be worth a kingdom to this aspiring faction.

This brilliant idea was no sooner conceived than measures were set on foot to carry it into effect. The telegraph was put to work to convoke the chief?. There were frequent midnight consultations in the Old Grantite Rookery. The plans were all laid with consummate strategy. Pinchback was suddenly interrupted in a magnificent speech—somewhere on the Androscoggin—with a message to hurry home—he was wanted —every thing depended on bis speed—and Pinch saw into the whole affair as clearly and as quickly as the usurping King of England when he heard from his castle the words of the minstrel, "The lion is loose," knew that Richard, the Lionhearted, bad escaped from his prison and was on his way to claim his own.

So Pinch packed his carpet-bag, abandoned his canvass, delivered over the the notes of his intended speech to some second-handed Yankee orator, and hurried to New York, where he found imperative orders awaiting him to attend the National Committee of the Grant party in session iu that city. Here he met Chandler and the other managers of the Grant campaign, who informed bina that his immediate return to New Orleans, and the assumption of the vacaut seat of Governor Warmouth, was the greatest service he could render to the Grant cause. It would make certain the eight electoral votes of the State and secure the State government for "our party." Piuch acquiesced in the scheme, and determined to obey orders. Proceeding to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, to look after his baggage, what was his surpr'se to find himself confronted in the hall of that establishment by the tall figure of his chief and superior, Governor Warmotii.

ThisoecurreJ last Saturday afternoon. There was a cordial greeting of the two dignitaries, and after some friendly interchanges they-parted, under an engagement to meet at 9 o'clock that night.

The Governor was prompt at the time and place of the arranged interview. But Pinch was absent. The Governor waited for some time for him. Still no Pinch made an appearance.

The Governor began to smell a rat. A diligent inquiry failed to discover the whereabouts of the Lieutenant Governor, and when his Excellency retired to his couch that night his mind and slumbers were disturbed by apprehensions of some conspiracy or trickery.

Rising early iu the morning, the Governor renewed his inquiries respecting the missing Pinch.

Iu the hall he found Pinch's colored companion, who was in charge of his baggage. "Where is Piuchback?" he inquired of the sable youth. "Don know, Governor liavn't seen him since yesterday, but here is his baggage—I am waiting for him."

This information and the presence of the baggage would have deceived a less suspicious and vigilant personage than one who had had so large an experience of the cunning and address of his subaltern. The Governor was not satisfied, and pursued his inquiries further.

Fortunately, whom should he meet on Broadway but Senator Harris an intimate and constant associate of Pinch.

Have you seen Pinch to-day asked the Governor. "No, haven't eeen him since yesterday, at 5 P. M., when he made au engagement to meet me at 9. o'clock. And on going to thecommittee room this morning, I learned that he left yesterday for Pittsburg."

Then it was all laid bare. The Governor saw in a flash what it all meant. Pinch bad tricked him, and got the start of at least twenty-four hours. He must catch and overhaul him, or the Grantites would be installed iu power in Louisiana. Proceeding to the telegraph office the Governor opened immediate communicate with his friends ail along the route and in this city. His plans were all made fr rapid transportation, and Pinch was placed under surveillance all along the route, so that he could come no unfair dodges on his competitor in the grand sweepstakes.

That evening the Governor left in the Pennsylvania Central lightning train, and reached Pittsburg in time to learn that Pinch was twelve hours ahead of him. Next he heard of him iu Columbus, Ohio, and finally iu Louisville, Kentucky. From this city the Governor telegraphed for a special train to meet him at Humboldt. On his arrival there he found the best locomotive of the Mississippi Central and a special car awaiting him. The Governor called up the engineer and asked him in what time he could put him in Canton. The engineer could, at a push, make forty-five miles an hours. "Then do it said the Governor. "I will," said the engineer, "but you must sign this bond to stand all the the damages that may result from any accident." The Governor and his companion, Mr. Effingham Lawrence, promptly signed the bond, and pretty quickly the locomotive aud train were put in motion. Telegrams had been sent ahead to clear the track. And now commenced the fastest steam speed ever made in the Southern country. Leaving Humboldt at 2 A. M. Tuesday, the Governor reached this city at 3:45 P. M., making the distance, 443 miles, in thirteen hours.

On the approach to Canton, the Governor telegraphed a gentle inquiry for his friend Pinch. The reply was: '"He is here awaiting the first train for the

city," whereupon the Governor shouted loudly, "We have got him," and Colonel Lawrence telegraphed to their auxious friends in the city that they had bagged Pinch and would bring him ahing.

But how was this—how came Pinch to be in Canton when his anxious friends were awaiting him at Amite, with certified copies of the registration and election bills, and several proclamations and commissions to which he could aflix the official signature and seal of the Acting Governor of Louisiana This unhappy mishap occurred thus Pinch had not dilly-dallied—he had lost no time on his journey. He had never left the cars except to telegraph to the Custom House, and to his waiting friends at Amite, that he was coming, and the Governor was taking care of his baggage at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

In this stateof unsuspectingconfidence aud of sanguine assurance of his success ful execution of the plot of the Custom House and the National Committee Pinchback reposed iu happy security and indulged those pleasing reflections which are natural aud proper to all achievers of great trinmphs in war, love or politics.

From this pleasing re very and a par tial slumber, he was aroused by a tap ou the shoulder from the conductor, who informed him that the train had reached Canton, and there was a gentleman who had inquired very earnestly for Gve.iuor Pinchback, "Was he that personage?" "I am that man," responded Pinch. "Then I am directed to inform you that there is a telegram awaiting you in the telegraph office, which the operator is directed to deliver only to you in person."

Accordingly, Pinch hustled out of the car, proceeded to the telegraph office, and inquired if there was a dispatch for him. "There is, sir, and only to be delivered to you in person, if you are Governor Pinchback, but you must be identified." Pinch lost a little time in huntiug up an identifier, and then the operator had mislaid the envelope, and could not immediately put his baud on it. Finally, however, it was found and delivered, and Pinch hastily broke the envelope, and with blank astonishment found it contained a blank piece of paper. Then it was that the consciousness flashed upon the sagacious Pinch that he was sold. He rushed to the door to hurry into the train, which was evi dently moving, the bell ringing and the locomotive puffing. But the confounded door was locked by some inadvertance, and Pinch bad no exit except through the window, which was also fastened down. "Hallo! open this door," shouted the imprisoned Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. Some minutes passed before these shouts attracted the attention of outsiders, and the door being at last opened, Pinch rushed madly to the platform just in time to see the train moving off, about one hundred and fifty yards distant, on its down trip towards New Orleans.

It was in vain that Pinch waived his handkerchief, aud shouted at the top of his voice "Stop the train, stop the train." "II est trop tard," as Ledru Rollin exclaimed, when it was proposed in the Chamber of Deputies of France to declare "the Count of Paris" the successor to Louis Phillippe on the throne of that Kingdom. "Sold, by the Eternal," exclaimed the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, as he proceeded to procure quarters for the night. We will not invade the sacredness of the bed-chamber by attempting to picture the demeanor, and the record of reflections of the somewhat disappointed and disgusted aspirant for the throne of Louisiana. Suffice it to say, that his slumbers were not more refreshing and pleasing than those of the hunchbacked usurper of the sceptre of England on the memorable night before the battle of Bosworth.

With the dawn blithely arose the unrefreshed royal aspirant, and hied him to the platform—whence he cast longing and curious looks northwardly—and in this intent aud somewhat unsatisfying occupation, several hours were passed. At last, however, his patience was relieved aud rewarded. There was a distinct sound of an approaching train, and what a rusher it must be Who ever heard a train rattle at that rate over that road? Aud now it is in sight, and there is a flag hung out of the locomotive, and a great stir and sensation aloug the road and about the depot. The train rushes up to the depot, and slackening speed, the tall figure of Governor Warmoth is seen on the platform, aud his strong voice is heard shouting

Hurra! Hulloa! Pinch, is that you? Thought you were with your baggage at the Fifth Avenue. Get aboard and we will take you to the city."

Aud now the whole counterplot was very distintctly unfolded to the appreciating perception of the beaten but gallant competitor iu his great race for the sceptre of Louisiana. "I acknowledge the corn, Governor," owned up to the caudid Pinch. You have won another race, and I'll be d—d if it isn't the biggest one you ever did or ever will win And so Pinch took his seat in the Governor's fast train, and off they started for the seat of the power for which they had made this tremendous race. In five hours and forty-five minutes from Canton they were in New Orleans. Passing Amite, a knot of anxious politicians of the Grant persuasion were noticed standing on the platform and peering auxiously into the car, iu which the Governor and Lieutenant Governor were engaged in friendly discussion of their comparative merits as racers aud political strategists. "Halloa exclaimed one of the knot of Grantites, "is that you, Pinch "We have been waiting for you. Is all right?" "Captured! Captured vociferated Pinch, as the train moved off, pointing to Governor Warmoth, who arose and affectionately and gratefully waved his handkerchief toward the foiled and disgusted conspirators and possessors of the unsigned election registration bills and various other Executive documents, which only needed the signature of the Lieutenant Governor, in the absence of his Excellency, the Governor, to become a law, and to establish in power and authority the government of the Custom House aud the Grant administration over the State of Louisiana. This desperate scheme was thus defeated by the sagacity and daring of Governor Warmoth, and by the most extraordinary locomotive and steam ride ever performed ou this continent.

THE suit of Wise vs. Wise, petition for divorce created considerable merriment while on trial in the Civil Circuit Court this forenoon. The husband brought suit for a severance of the tie that bound him to his wife on the ground that she did not discharge the duties of a wife.

During the detailing of the ease before the Court, the gentle defendant assumed a

position a la Tilly Fletcher, and proceeded to make a stump speech on the merits of the case, gesticulating wildly and pouring forth a torrent of denunciation against the Frenchman (her husband) as irresistible as the cataract of Niagara, despite the exertions^of all the officers of the court to check the tide.

Rev. Father Bouscli and Captain Delviecho met the BishopatCiucinnati. At Lagrange he was received by a committee headed by the Hon. B. J. Webb, who presided at the addresses at the depot. The Bishop was seated in a magnificent carriage drawn by four black horses which was drawn to St. Michael's Church.

As the carriage turned into Brook street, the bands struck up, and the bells of the Catholic Churches rang merry peals, soul-inspiring and exciting. At St. Michael's church, tie Bishop doffed his traveling garb and donned the robes of his office then resumed his seat in the carriage. The procession took up the line of march down Jefferson to Fifth, aud out to the Cathedral where a tedium was sung and a furmal reception of the Bishop, according to the impressive forms of the ritual, took place. The crowd at the depot and at the church was immense, aud the demonstration was one of the grandest ever witnessed in the city.

Willia K. McKeen. gentleman is remarkable in many

respects. All Terre Hautr, and Indianapolis also respect him, because he is truly a man of enterprise and State emulation. Nobody asks an indulgence at his hands, if he is worthy, that meets with a cold response. He is austere in the line of his duty, and he is always just. He is a partisan but not the oppressor, or defamer of anybody. He rules capital but he blesses the poor, and treats all|hunian beings alike. A good joke lately developed will follow him as long as he lives. Mr. McKeen is a Republican of the strictest sect. The other day Hendricks wanted to get off at some statioirtn the Vandalia road to make a speech, where the trains do not usually stop. Mr. Hendricks was uneasy. Voorhees was at hand, and he was consulted, as he was from Terre Haute, and Terre Haute affinities are marvelously strong. Voorhees said, "Telegraph McKeen he will

mean? Does Grant and the Credit Mobilier own the thing now?" Fink is always stately and true. He don't get scared easy. "What is the matter, Dan?" he inquired. Voorhees nervously answered "Yourd—d President has sent us word that 'No. 1 will stop.' "What," said V., "does that mean, that 'no train will stop?' Fink looked at the telegram that "No. 1 will stop." "Why, Dan," said he, "don't you know that all our trains are numbered We know them by No. 1, 2, 3 etc. Mr. McKeen meant by that, that our train, No. 1. will stop to let Mr. Hendrick's off* Dou'tyou understand?" Voorhees relaxed hia frowns, and told the whole Vandalia party "to come in and take a drink."—Indianapolis Sentinel.
