We are unable to saj who was the author of the weak article in the Journal of last Friday, on the subjeol of our registry law; but certainly his politi- cal friends ought to sue out a writ Je lunatico for the tell-tal- and have him confined where he can do them no more mischief. A party that has obtained all it triumphs by stealthy movements and secret machinations, could, in our judgment, mete out no panishment too severe for a man who, in writing of the passage of that law, can, with a chuckle of delight, dare to say openly to the public "we confess there i a slight possibility that our Democratic friends did not exactly vnitrdani th objeeti which we desired to attain." However much his friends may feel chagrined at the flood of light thus thrown upon them by this unfortunate admission, we of the opposite party are grateful to this amiable gen- tleman for the, acknowledgment that the Know Nothing party had objects in view, in seeking the passage of that law, other than is evidenced upon its face. It is true that the Democratic members of the last Legislature had no suspicion of these ulterior objects, nor of the base purposes which the law would be tortured into subserving. They passed it to enable Louisville to enforce the eollec-tio- n of a portion of her revenue heretofore eluded nor ever dreamed that its practical efl'ect would be to couvert the oifice of the city Ux collector into a poll booth, or that the ruling party would employ the city police in drumming up the faith- ful for registration. They never dreamed that men, prominent in the Know Nothing party, would be seen bringing up and pavinz the tax for a dozen of the more indigent brethren at a tims. They presumed, too, that those to whom the city intrusted the collection of her revenue were hon- est, upright men ! Would the Journal intimate anything to the contrary? Does it mean to say that these gentlemen were the soft and pliant tools of party, who can be made to do all it commands'? "Are they servants dogs, that they should do this great wrong?" We confess the supposition that the Know Nothing party would act with the same uprightness and fair dealing as would the Democratic party under similar circumstances, was founded in false analogy and not warrant ed by experience. For once city-bre- d lawyers have outwitted the farmers of Kentucky the honest yeomanry of the land. Honest men are dull in following the labyrinthian turns of prac tised knarery. The gratuitous slanders heaped by the same article upon a portion of our fellow citizeua, whose only crime is that they were born in a foreign land, deserves the most unmiti gated reprobatiou. The dissolution of a political party is never more indisputably proven than when its defenders are compelled to have recourse to persoual abuse. The application of such terms to our German and Irish emigrants as "drunken pauper foreigners," etc., is but the impoteut rav- ings of a few narrow-minde- d and releutless bigots, who are groping in blind hate, illumined now and then" by the fitful glare of a dark lan- tern, after the constitutional rights of a portion of their fellow citizens, that they may wreak causeless vengeance upon them for fancied ills. If the poor of other lands come to us, and seek by honest industry to raise themselves to a posi tion of wealthy independence, is their present poverty to be attributed to them as a crime? That all men are born equal is no mere figment of phi- losophy, and the foreigners among us, if not our companions in society, are at least our equals be fore God. It is abuse like this, added to personal injury, that has turned from the bosom of Louis- ville the tide of emigration, which was bringing witn it wealth and prosperity, and has built up her sister cities ol the Mississippi Valley. Who will deny that Louisville, with twenty or thirty thousand more of what the Journal is pleased to cali "drunken, pauper foreigners," would be able creditably to compete with Cincinnati or St. Louis in the raceaof prosperity Let us, then, as a mat- ter of policy, draw closer our relations and en courage this emigration; for though, like the wa ters of the Nile, it may inundate and inconveni- ence us for the time, yet it brings with it a fut- - encd richness which will be the cause of our productiveness and prosperity. We can assure all foreigners that hereafter they will meet with kindness and protection here. Louisville has done with Know Nothiogism. Iler people, who have been kept, like Sampson, in weakness and blindness by these Know Nothing Philistines, now feel some return of their old strength, and as the scales fall from their eyes, will, like the Hebrew deliverer, arise with energy and destroy their oppressors. The Democratic party has been, by cheating and trickery, kept out of the enjoyment of offices as signed them by the people. And we may, by this registry law a move in the direction of a pro perty qualification be for some months longer deprived of the city government; but in a year from this time there will not be a vestige of Know Nothingism remaining. We have already accomplished much in freeing the city from its baneful influence. There remains still a great work before us. For years past we have been ac- quiring stalwart energies, and at times trying our strength. W e have made many feeble and irresolute essays, not to mention many miserable failures. We have made our reconnoissances and skirmished with the outposts, but the real battle is still to come. Let us gird on our harness, then, for the fight It is not the hopeless prospect that we have heretofore encountered. Let us but look back at what we have already achieved, and cour- age need not fail us. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad. We have yet a treat deal to say against G ov. Uel m's Memphis branch railroad, and that our position may not be misunderstood with regard to the main truuk, we will state beforehand that so soon as the Governor's 1300,000 is voted down by the people, we shall do cur best to show that the mortgaged bonds offered for sale by the main stem will be a hrst rate investment for capitalists. We shall show that the principal is safe, the in terest reliable, and that capitalists should take hold of them, upon their own intrinsic worth, without regard to the financial blunders of the President oi mis roaa, who unfortunately has the disposal of them. We shall show that they are worth more than Gov. Helm asks for them, and that the ouyer should take hold of them as a business in- vestment, whose genuine merits are not iniurd by the financial character of their vender. How he Does Small Things and Great. Although Gov. Helm makes awful blunder in the management of so grand an enterprise as the main stem of the L. and N. R. R.t he shows great skill in small matters connected with it.- - He got the city council to publish, at its own expense, his letter in behalf of the Memphis branch, and that of his coadjutors of Lozan countv on th same subject. If he could disclose such financial astuteness in the conduct of the great features of the enterprise he heads, we should not ssy a word against him. Still, we think that those who dance should pay the piper. ' A Question for Mathematicians. Gov. Hiilm sold first mortgage bonds on the Lebanon branch road bearing seven percent inter- est, and having four years to run, of texenty-jiv- t centton tite dollar. What percent did the lntest-men- t yield the purchaser per aqnum? , We have had it cyphered at, and the answers differ;'' one is sixteen and a fraction, and the other is something over nineteen per cent We have no fondness for figures will some tax payer do ns the favor to work tbe turn out, and send us the correct answer Something to be Estimated, t. Gov. Helm declares himself out oi patience with our stupidity. What amount of discomfiture will express his feelings to the people of Louisville who dissent from his branch road? Will the Gov. faror us with an estimate from one of his best en- gineers? ; ' " ' ;''' - j Ykllow Fivia.

SEPTEMBER 22, HORSE SENSE. The Teacher of Prof.Ear6T in Town In teres tin Lecture Successful Experiments- A WILD AND VICIOUS HORSE SUBDUED. The celebrated Rarey, whose feats in subduing and civilizing the wildest and most vicious horses have rendered him one of the marked men of the time, has not arrived in our city but his instruct- or has. Mr. 0. H. P. Fanchcr gave Rarey his first ideas of this useful art, and perhaps under- stands the science mora thoroughly. The pupil however, has proven the better Yankee of the two, and has pushed his fortunes to greater ad- vantage. Fancher is now inclined to make up for lost time, and is traveling through the country im- parting his wonderful and valuable secret. In this city he has pitched his tent on the cor- ner of Fifth and Broadway. Yesterday he deliv- ered his first lecture, to a limited number of gen- tlemen. It was an interestinir review of h horse considering that noble animal physically, mentaiiy, ana in an its relations with man. We were pleased with the sound, practical view ox- - pressed by the lecturer. His whole system and schema of treatment is based upon affection. Secure the confidence of the horse by kindness, and he is subdued. Horses are ruined by the pre vailing plan ot breaking, where force and vio lence are used. Mr. Faucher discussed the vari- ous diseases incident to the equial race, and gave a detailed account of the anatomical construction of the horse. " To demonstrate the feasibility of his system, he made a series of experiments upon a mare be- longing to Mr. Nelson Dorsey, of Jefferson county. This animal has been perfectly uncontrollable and only day before yesterday kicked a sulky in piece on the Uakland track. Her owner has in- tended to run her in the twenty mile race between this city and the mouth of Salt river, but she has been so vicious that it has been impossible to train her. Mr. Fancher approached the mare, and after applying some preparation to her mouth and nos- trils, assumed almost complete sway over her. He then tied up her left front foot, caused her to kneel, and almost immediately afterwards, to lav on her back. He placed her feet about his neck ; at a signal caused her to arise; stood upon her hind legs ; in fact, performed a hundred feats with the animal that would have been dangerous with the most easy-goin- g plow horse. When we reflect that to subdue a horse temporarily, requires the strength of six or seven men, this leat of Mr. Fancher appears the more wonderful. He promises, in a day or two to drive the mare through the streets with a buffalo robe dragging about her heels. There were ser. eral experienced horsemen present, and they were equally astonished with ourself. It is Mr. F.'s de sire to obtaiu as many wild, vicious, devilish horses as possible. He will exorcise the evil spirits, and render the horses so tractable that they may be driven by anybody anywhere, with out the least danger of affright The Cost of Gov. Helm's Branch. Gov. Helm, in his communication to the Coun cil, said the equipped Memphis branch would cost near f SX,0u0. He quoted Mr. Olmstead as au thority for that estimate. It now turns out bv his last publication, that he had no right to quote him for any such estimate, his actual estiuiata having been I'JSO.OOO without equipment. Add the tZ0 - t'00 which the Chief Engineer says the equipment will cost and we have $1, 130,000 for the actual cost of the branch, according to Olmstead'a esti- mate, instead of the JSnu.OOO reported to the Council. The Governor is said to be quite complaisant to his Chief Engiueer, aud the latter has probably proven himself equally so in his revision of Olm- - stead's estimate. But let that pais. It is certain ly a most unwarrantable liberty for one engineer who has never seen a foot of the route, to under take to revise and correct the estimate of another engineer (equally, if not mere, competent) ho nas made an actual instrumental survey. But let us take the estimate of the Chief Engineer, and let ?9S0,000 be assumed as the true cost, and we will again review the means for buildinsr it The Logan county bonds will not sell, as the Governor well knows, for more than seventy- - nve cents on the dollar, or 225,000. Add to this the promised individual subscription, not yet ob tained, and the two make 1325,000. Then comes the city bonds for fDOO.Ou 0 in from one to four years. These, the Governor says, he will not sac rifice, though we have been told he actually sold Lebanon branch seven per cent, bonds, bavin" only two years to run, at seventy-fiv- e cents. We will concede for these six per cent, bonds he will obtain an average of eighty-fiv- e cents, or $250,000. Thus he will have means to the value of 575,000 to accomplish a work which his engi neer thinks will cost at least $930,000, leaving a deficit of 1405,000. Now, admitting the financial ability of himself and his directory to be all that he claims, it is askmz rather too much of public credulity to trust to their financiering to make up such an enormous deficit. He does not pretend that there is the slightest grounds for hoping that the money can be raised by a sale of branch bonds. He has taken special care, for the sake of himself and Hardin county, to obtain a clause in the charter which expressly prohibits the main road from aiding the making of the branch, either with its means or credit Where, then, is the deficit to come from? Why does he not, by way of atonement for his gross and unpardonable blunder as to the cost of the branch, come out like a man and say at ouce that there is no way to provide the deficit but by dragging it out of the people of Louisville by direct taxation? When he confesses that, then it will be for our people to say whether they can stand taxation to the tune of $703,000 for the purpose of making a trifling branch to the small town of Clarksville, without any reliable guaranty that it will ever be carried a foot beyond that place. Such a branch may nave great attractions for the people of Lo?an county, who are exceedingly anxious to reach that point of shipment for their produce, but it can never compensate the people of Louisville for having 705,000 extorted from their pockets. Stats of Affairs in China. Notwithstanding the 'treaties with China, murder and horrors continue. The "Friend of China," in the issue of July 6th, says: ' Repelliug all attempts at sociability, the Chi- nese meet our advances with cruelty. We give an iuatance of what occurred on Saturday fast, almost under our own eyes. Four Frenchmen landed from one of the Catinat'a boats for the pur- pose ofpurchasing provisions. When near the South Gate, and in the new city, they were hem- med in by the Braves. Three cut their way through; the fourth was captured, and his head and hands cut off in almost less time than it takes us to write this sequel. - a The French naval commander on the river landed a party of men, marched to the street where the murder was committed, measured off 100 paces, and at one end placed a detachment with directions to shoot every man that tried to escape. A similar party barred the other end. Then came the revenge. Every adult male in the houses lining the loO paces was seized, shot, his throat cut, and then left to swelter in the sun as a warning to the neighborhood, - i Forty-si- x bodies, aoout one to each yard, made a ghastly spectacle. As a matter of course, only the maimed, tbe halt, and the blind will remain longer in this doomed city after occurrences such as these. . ;: .

We have heretofore lamented the dissipation of tbe romance and poetry of agricultural life con- sequent npon the important discoveries and vast improvements in machinery, It appears as if the practical workers of to-d- were resolved to dispel all the beautiful illusions that surround rural a flairs. We have no more harvest homes. And now the darkies, and the boys and the girls of a fairer hue, are to be de- prived of all the glorious fun and frolic that in the good old times surrounded the corn shucking festivities. Some enterprising genius has invent- ed a machine that in the twinkling of an eye husks an ear of corn. Here it is shelled, and be- fore you can utter that peculiar name "Jack Robinson" the grain is presented you in the shape of meal, ready for the griddle. This new inven- tion was placed in the hall yesterday afternoon. It is an ingenious contrivance, and especially worthy of the consideration of those farmers who desire to hurry their crops to market CBIABOGRAPHT ASD Uur enterprising young friend, Shaw, has shown his good taste and originality in tbe display of his beautiful collection of photographs, ambrotypes, etc. He very properly celebrates the laying of the trans-Atlanti- telegraph cable, being himself connected with the fast line, and having his gal- lery in the same building, on Main street, with the magnetic telegraph office. The shields of America and England are united by several wires, upon one of which "Shaw's Cable Gallery" is gracefully displayed in evergreen letters. Of his pictures we can say that they are true works of art cor- rect portraits, spirited, effective, and in all re- spects meritorious. Mr. Shaw is ably assisted by Mr. Jacobs, a young artist of much talent. The new style of picture chiarographs will gain great popularity. For the Louisville Courier. Kentucky State Fair.

POLICE COURT. OFO. W. JOHNSTON, Jodob. TttsDAT, Sept 2L, Assault and Battery. Samual L. Bryant swore out a warrant for assault and battery against John Thompson. Bryant's face was considerably battejed and bruised, and his eyes in deep mourn- ing, all ef which he says were the work of de- fendant, who he aays first abused and then beat him. It further appeared that complainant had been paid off, in presence of defendant, when an altercation ensued, and he had called the latter several ugly, dirty names, before he attacked him, and had intimated a willingness to fight Jt was said in defense that Thompson hit but oae lick, but the man's face had an astonishing number of bruises about it The case of assault was made out, and the party was recognized in $10") to an- swer indictment. Charge or Disorderly Conduct. John Nor- wood, Thomas Jones and Wm.

Officer Seay happened to be near, and caught Mr. Norwood as he made a rush into the shop, evidently with the intention of dusting Wash's jacket The officer, as in dutv bound, ar- rested the breach of the peace and the parties, together with the clubs. It appears that there had been a previous difficulty with Wash, in ref- erence to replevying a debt, or a garnishee, in which it was stated that Wa,h. struck Norwood and tbe latter was determined to have satisfac- tion. The Court concluded to maintain the law and held each of the three to bail in sums of $200 to keep the peace six months. Carhtixq a Pistol Disordbrlt Condcct A young man in blue specks, a stranger in our parts, was presented on the charges of being pret- ty near crazy on mean whisky, and flourishing a revolver.

The concealed weppoo case will be an after consideration. Disoroerlt Woman. Little Mrs. Mary Ford was once more to the fore on the usual charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct She had been rather wild and noisy, and was hauled out of her hole by one of the watch, much against her will, and she insists upon it that it is all spirit work; but the Court didn't believe her, and bail of $200 was required for three months. Held to Bail. The Court ordered the appear- ance of Wash. Spradling, in connection with the above case, who was brought in, and bail of $200 was required of him to keep the peace six months, thus making all parties amenable to the law. The Romance of Crime. A criminal trial of extraoidinary interest is just now in progress, at Fancastle, "Va., involving abundant materials for a modern sensation novel. The prisoner at the bar is a respectable citizen, named Henry W. Bowver, and the crime he is charged with is the killing of one Jas. McDowell, Senior, likewise a person of respectability, and an officer in the Fancastle Bank. The cause of the shooting was the supposed seduction of Miss Lizzie Bowyer, the daughter of the accused, a lady of some thirty years of age, described by one of the witBesses as "a young lady who was always diffident among strangers always dressed in the best style and whose father was never in the habit of consulting her in regard to her pur- chases; he always paid the bills." This Miss Bowyer, however, it would appear from the evi- dence of other witnesses, had been rather loose ia her behavior with gentlemen, for two or three years previous to her acquaintance with the al- leged seducer, Mr. McDowell. One witness (Fer- dinand Woltz) on this point testified as follows: Cross examined by the Commonwealth I had heard of MUs Bowyer's improper conduct lrore I heard of her intimacy with Mr. McDowell. The defence here objected to this testimony. They wer willing to admit all that Mr. Woltz "had communi- cated to Mr. Bowyer, but not that which he heard beside as rumors. The Court decided that the testimony should be ad- mitted. Witnessed resumed I did hear of Miss Bowyer's im- proper conduct with others before I heard Mr. McDow- ell's name connected with her. I think It ha been three or four year since I first heard rumors axaiust her char- acter. Don't snow that I specified to Mr. Bowyer the leng'h of time these rumors had been in existenre. He remarked to me that it grieved him to think that he had been associated with gentlemen who were aware of these rumors, yet kept them from him. In giving him the nauie9 of gentlemen I only said they were mentioned in connection with the name of his daughter. I intended to tell Mr. Bowyer that so far as I could judze, his daugh- ter had acted very improperly In ber advances towards gentlemen. It seemed to be the general Impression that he ha I been Improperly intimate with some persons Have often seen Miss Bowyer in general society.at home, at my house, and elsewhere. N ever observed anything improper or immodest in her conduct myself. When I first heard rumors againt her, 1 gve no credence to them thought it must be a mistake. Bat the rnmor bogan to ihitken, until at length I became satisfied there must be some truth iu theiu. Those rumors attributed to her a vice which would render Ler very eoiumou. The rumor in regard to Mr. Beale was that she had mad very Improper advances to him, but never heard the particulars. This was located in or near Baohauan. Q. By Mr. Anthony, Commonwealth's Attorney : Was not everything you heard, In reference to Mr. Beale's conduct toward the lady, highly crditable to him? Wit : It was. I recollect hearing that Xisa Bwyer made improper adcancei to Mr. Beale, and that he repelled them, showing the great respect he entertained for the family of Mr. Bowyer. VI. By the Commonwealth : What were the rumors you heard connecting her with Mr. Price The counsel fr the delence objected to the narration of rumors which the witness had heard. They were willing to admit ail that he had communicated to Mr. Bowyer, but nothing farther. The question was thn put In the following form: To what extent did the rumors, which you communi- cated to Mr. Bowyer, implicate Mr. Pric I only remember saying that they had been seen to- gether, he on one side of th fence, and she on th other. That was all. The defence admits the shooting, but as in all such cases, an effort is evidently making to im- press upon the jury, that a father avenging the seduction of his daughter, is a virtue as old as the A irginians, to be applauded, and not a crime to be condemned. Hence, to aggravate the bad conduct of the alleged seducer, McDowell, and proportionately tc increase the father's provoca- tion to shoot him, the defence are endeavoring to show that Miss Lizzie was at times not in a sound state of mind. To support this theory, tbe fol- lowing evidence has been brought forward:, Dr. 9. D. Hopkins, sworn I had a slight acquaintance with Miss Bowyer. Saw her once at her father's bouse. I wish to relate my impressions of her deportment in my own way. I expected to find ladies in such a family fa possession of all that a refined education could impart. But when Mis Bowyer came to th door and answered my inquiries about her father, I thought there was so g in her manner which denoted an absence of the refinement I had expected. I thought it was attributable to a mental defect. This was merely the conclusion of my mind. Her manner made me think ther was a fail- ure on her part to come up to tbe standard of refine- ment which bad been created In my mind. I thought her intellect was affected. Think this visit wa mad in May last. It would appear that Miss Bowyer, just before the discovery of her intimacy with deceaecd, had run away from home, and that Bowyer was under the impression that McDowell had persuaded her to that step, in order to accomplish her ruin an enterprise in which the whole drift of the testimo- ny goes to show, he must, or might have been, successful. Bowyer, it was said, was satisfied that his daughter was in a state of derangement throughout the entire transaction, and that her seducer had taken advantage of that derange- ment After a white, however. Miss Lizzie re- turned to her parent's house. The interview be- tween father and daughter was most touching, and an thus describes it: , Mr. Bowyer remarked to his daughter that h did not come to upbraid her for her past conduct, but to sav her, If possible, from sinking Into deeper degradation; she wept at ber reception and seeme 1 sorry for ber In response to th question from hev father, why she left home, she replied that McDowell had informed her that some person w a going to writ an anonymous letter to him, informing him of her conduct that as soon as her father received It h would kill ber that he, McDowell, wa going oa a pleasure trip to New York, and if ah would follow hua th third day after be left, he would giv her oa hundred dol- lar for traveling expense, and whn she got to Saw York b would furnish her a hous and giv her flv hundred dellars. McDowell also asked her a hat had become of his letters and note; sh replied that sh had theui. H then mad her promise to bura thena, and b promised to burn hers, in order to prevent his exposure, la cas sh should b pursued and found with his let! era and note In her possession. She did burn them accrd-lngt- o promise. He requested her particularly not to stop at any hotel ia Richmond, Baltimore, or Philadelphia, but at the houses of certain person whom h named in those cities, which sh fuiind afterward t b houses of ill-- ! am. 11 said sh could be too easily traced if ah stopped at hotal. lie gav hr $100, but ah was prevented from leaving horn at the time appointed, by th fact that hand on th farm wer cutting grass In th immediate neighborhood wber sh Intended to get on the stag for Bonaack's depot. Mr. Bowyer also stated that he would rather that McDowell had applied th torch of the incendiary to hi dwelling, at midnight and destroy hint sad his whole family, than to hav been guilty of persuading Elisabeth from her home, and tend- ing her to a house of in a city that h was McDowell had don it to gratify a malignant feel- ing towards him and to- - degrade hi family, and that It was his duty to avciig It. He thea remained silent for awhile, and seemed to be perfectly absorbed in thought, and not Inclined to talk. , , The trial has aow been going on for more than a week, and the probability is that it will take an- other week to finish it The court room is crowded day after day, and the utmost interest is mani- fested on all hands ia the proceedings. Two sons of the deceased are ia dally attendance and the rumor is that they freely threaten to revenge tbe death of their father, if Bowyer is acquitted. So that there may be a second act in the tragedy to come. j" Latib. Acquittal or Bowteb wao Killed a Seducer. Henry Bowyer, examined oa tb charge of killing Jas.
