Subscribers receiving their papers somewhat ater thaw usual in the meanwhile will, therefore, know the cause of the delay. = ln itt SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer says, with great force, of the Louiayiile riots . “ The evidently not rk eer and we trust atl ee telegraphic despatches nae Louisval © record scenes of riot, tartan and bloodshed, during the election held in that city on ay, Which al! true lovers of law and order wili denounce in the most solemn and emphatic language. “It matters not—t» adupt ihe ian nage of the Baltimore Patriot oi last eveniug—it mai- ters not that the occasion was one of great pe- litical ferment. it matters vot who were the aggressors, the assailants am! the assailed are alike deserving of indignant reprobation. since they were both guilty of violating the law by usurping the authority of the Judiciary ani avenging with their own hands their real or faneied injuries. [t is from such shameful riots as these that our institutions are brought into disgrace. It ix not one city alone whieh suffers trom the cflects of sanguinary lawle-<- ness—the whole country shares ia the oppre- brium. If euch outrazes are continued; if the majesty of the law is not rendered para- mount to the acis of individuals; if in broad day, andin the midst of a crowded city, we are to settie our quarrels with the Bowie knifi . the revolver. and ihe fircbrand, we had bette: close our tribunals, iguore ali gove nment ex- cept that of turve. and be prepared to try © clusions with the first person we encounter ia the street. 2 “ It is strange that the people of the United States—a people so sensitive of the « pinion iu which they are held abroad > who pride them- selves on the freedom they enjoy, on tho toler- auce they avow, and especially on their pacity for self-government—should suffer the selves to become guilty of acts which are semi- barbareus in their character, and so utterly destitute of ail those conservative elements upon the permanence of which depends the existence of the Republic.” The Unio» says of the telegraphic nccounty of the Louisville election riot “*Tt does net surprise ua that the election at ‘Louisville was inaugurated on Monday last by mobs and murders; nor does it surprise us tht the telegraph should say that *aforeigner fired the first shot.’ When it is known, howeve:, that the Louisville Know Nothings have been vendered =o infamous by their violence tnat their former organ, the Couiier, indignantiy denounced them, it is hardly possible that tha “fereiguers’ would fire upon the s0-ealle.| ‘Amercan’—at a ti tov, when the aduptet citizens were afraid to gu near the ballot boxes, surrounded as they were by rutlians of the lowest order. It had been given out for days that the ballot boxes were to be ‘ guard ad° by the Know Nothing: they were in W ashing- ton, and that Louisville should be earvied for that party; hence the resulting bloodsed and death.” The Uniox, under the bead of « ‘uglorions fate of a Know Nothing falsehood,”* also com- ments with contempt ard warmth upon the Pope's Nunciv story of Rayner, 4g it stands when confronted with Barringer’< brand of falsity upon it. eee The Elections. Nort Carotrxa.—More reeent news throws the election in the first district in doubt. The Norfotk Beacov, a Know Nothing paper, pub- lishes returns which. if true, elect Painc.

The Lovisvills Riots.—The following is the only additional account of this dreadfal affair that bas as yet come to hand. It is a tele- graphic despatch from the telegraphic agent at Louisville, who is noted for his falsification of facts in aid of the Know Nothing party. We therefore place no confidence whatever in the truth and justice of the coloring he gives to this lamentable affair, more especially as in every previous case of the kind, time and in- vestigation has made it plain that the foreign born citizens, the weaker party, were the as- sailed—not the assailants. We forbearfurther comments until we have more information in the premiizes’: LocrsviLue, Aug. 7.—The disturbance comi- menced in the First Ward, where an Ameri- can, named Burge, was stabbed, and beaten nesrly to death by a party of Irishmen. The assailants of this man were arrested, but after- ward three Amevicans were fired upon whilo quietly passing the Gennan brewery. Agen- tleman riding in a carriage with his wife was fired on at the same time. Then a complete shower of shot and bullets was rained from seme German houses vn the crowd below, by which many were woundei. By this time a mob of armed foreigners began to collect in the vieinity, aud an indiscriminate slaughter of Americans commenced. Other Americans quickly crowded to the spot when the firing ye the windows was continued. The Ameri- cans set fire to the brewery aad sacked several houses from which guns bad been fired. About 6 o'clock, in the Eighth Ward, three Americas were attacked by a mob of Irish with fire-arms—oue was killed and the other wounded. The Irish now took refuge in a house from which they contrived to fire upon the erowd, killing two more Americans. After a desperate struggle the house was forced and the murderers within were captured. One of them was forthwith hung by the exasperated crowd, but a policeman cut him dowa while he was still living. He was afterwards shot, however, and died this morn’ For some time longer a regular discharge of i g kept up from a row of Trish houses, on Eleventh street, on all passing Americans, several of whom were wounded. Finally, the Americanos attacked the houses, but faiting to dislodge the Irish, fired the di nforcements of Americans soon cannoa and muskets. Some of the Irish were shot ia the burning buildings, and others were capiured. No attempts were me«de to stay the dames, and some two or three uildings were’ bumed. Several fires oceurred in different parts of the » widing to the terrors of the night. tbe Americans, having become pertoctly in- furiaved, marched to the office of the Times, a Demoecretic paper, whielf was only saved fron: destruction by the cforts of Mr. Prentice and other Amciicans, who urged the crowd to ab- stain from further acts of violence. Tuis morning more dixucbances occurred. At Il o'clock a large mob proceeded to the jevee aul atiacked a row of Erish houses, from whe: is Was reported, sume Shots were fired ing wre being male to restrain the mob, hoped quiet will be restored. Areport provails that three persons were killed this morning, but it is doubtful. ‘Tanke o'eLocx, P. M.—The city is now quiet. kira police have been sworn in, aud Judge Bullock and vihers are making speeches at the Cowit-house to the citisens, requesting them to maintain the peace. Pub- lic iveling Las become considerably calmed. Five o ¢Lock.—Aucther outbreak is feared to-night, in qucnee of a large quantity having been found in the of tbe Lrisn in the Eighth Ward, which as greutly r ed the excitement. Large numbers of Lrish are leaving the city this atternoon. The Virginia Railroad Controversy.—We are pained to find that the Richmond, Freder- ieksburg and Potomac Railroad Company bear, with ill grace, the transfer of the contrast forcar- rying tbe great Northern and Southern mails from their enterprize to those of the Orange and Alexandri nia Central Railroads; en- terprises of quite as much utility to the publie as theirs, und in all respects quite as dezerv- ing of the patronage of the Pust Office Depart- ment. In this country ao Railroad Company have a perpetual right to contracts with the Post Office Department, which is bound to tauke its bargains with those who, in its judg- ment, best answer its purposes, time, regularity and expe og duly considered. The new arrengement, by which the old road loses ite contract yed for so many years, was, doubtt made by the Department in order to avoid the vexatious delays in the transpor- tation of the mails for some sixty miles on the Potomac river, in the winter, when the chances are even that one outof every four or five trips will, from the ice. end ia thefailure to connect. and thus throw the receipt and de- livery of letters, + Over from tweive to twenty-four hours, to the very serious incun- venienee and Joss to business men, in all the Athuntie st country especially. For ten cidemts, or rathor delays, on the , arising from the ice. have caused imprecations upon the Post Office Department thaw delays on almost all the r of the mail routes in the country. This ix notorious, end the complaints against such mishaps ure jast ; theugh it never was Just tv charge them to the aecount of the De- partunent, wh in employing the Richmond, lericksburg, sad Potomac company, ob- tained for the public the best possible mail fa- vilities between Washington and Richmond chen existing. The completion of the Orange and Alexandria cud Central Railroads, how- ever, have afforded the Department the means of positive insurance againt future delays from ice in the Potomac, and the Postmaster General as promptly availed the business public. so vitally interested in this imeurance, ¢ means in question, at an apparentextra cost of less ihau ten thousand Gollars; though we doubt whether, when ail the expenses under the old arrangement, of every descrip. hon, are taken isto ecasideration, the exce: of cust by the new arrangement will reach one thousand doliars. We have the kindest possible feeling for the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomae com- pany, the pioneer in suecessful railroad opera- tions ia the Old Doiminion, and believe, as we trust, that the rapidly increasing through- travel will very shortly put into its coffers more than it loses by the new arrangement which the Department bas felt called on to make. But the convenience and prosperity of the great business community is of far more importance to the public than that company’s “interests; and wa fecl well acsured that public opinion, certainly after the experience of a single winter, in avoiding the transportation of the great Atlantie-ccast mails on the Poto- aac, will superiaduce a very unanimous pop ular approval of the change, which has been made in view of the interests of all, from Maine to Louisiana, rather than to meet the views of the stockbolders of a single and par- ticuler railroad enteprise. How they coms to Mystify Everything. — It seems to us that the New York press employing special correspondents, are ever leading the reading public astray, and Gighting windsaills existing only in the brains of their conductors. We have devoted column aftercolumn of the Star, almost weekly, to the contradiction of their mistekes and roorbacks more concerning matters transpiring here and other matters of which information for the press i first attainable at this point. This we have done until we, if not our readers, are heartily tired of seeing the Star’s columns so oceu- pied. It seems, however, if we propose to continue to fulfil this journal’s mission as the disseminator of correct information on Ameri- can public affairs, our task is never to end. Thus we find in the Washington correspond- ence of the New York Times of Saturday last, any number of cock-and-bull storie: with reference to the President his cabinet, Gcv. Reeder, and that gentleman’s pecuniary transactions in the lands of fhe Kaw half-breed: and military reservations, which are duly set forth with all the gravity of well ascertained truth ; every material one of which, however, is false, being the creation of the inventive brain of that journal’s correspondent, some rampant Seward Abolitionist, who bolieves in the morality of writing false news when inter- esting truth is not to be had out of which to make up a letter. One of these stories goes to show not only the utter recklessness of such writers for the press, but their extreme iZnorance. So we quote it. It is as follows : ee judges, Lecompte and Elmore, ret peal ee Py pp st aesint them, ad mitting their share in the land operations, but pleading ignorance of the laws and regulations torbidding them. Now the truth is, Judge Leeompte had neither lot nor part in any of Governor Reeders purchazes or bargains for lands in Kansas: nor is he charged with any such of- feuce whatever. So, of course, no roply was received from him to any such charges. Really it seems a hopeless and never-ending ask, this effort of ours, to shoot down the coorbacks of this class of Wasbingtoa cou- tributors to the columns of distant journals. Falschocds on Falschoods.—It will be rec- oliected that Rayner’s original false statement concerning Mr. Barringer’s conversation witi the Nuncio at Madrid, made the latter an- aounce to B. the appointment of Judge Camp boll to be Postmaster General before it was made. On again looking over his letter t Ellis, of the 19th July, uit., we find that, to set out of the ssrape, he in that falsified bis original statement saying : “ About four weeks since, on my return from Philadelphia, I met Mr. Barringer in Bulti- wnore, and, in conversation with him, I men- tioned the fact that [had taken occasion ty spexk publicly of what he bad said to me about the P-pe’s Nuncio, haying stated tom: before he (Mr. B.) had heard, and before tie news of the same had reached Madrid, of the ‘ormation of Mr. Pierce's cabinet, that he ( said Nuneio) could tell him one man that would be in the cabi to wit: Mr. Camp- vell of Pennsylvania, a member of the Roman Catholie Church.” Thus, persons who get up such rocrbacks are compelled to plunge deeper and deeper i the mire of falsiiication to save the appearance of consistency, as the foundation on which their stories rest are swept from under them by the power of investigation and truth. & Signiicant.—The New York Courier ein? Enquirer, upon the first announcement of the removal of Governor Reeder was red-imouthed in its denunciation of the President, and elu- quently comprehensive in its defeace of eve act of Govi mor R., but since the publicativa of the correspondence in the Union of unday last, it has changed itz tone, and talks in this wise: “Governor Reeder, we say it freely, ought not to have engaged in speculating i public jands at all, or to have mauifested any suci disposition. Allowing the complete truti ness of his own representatiuu, that he only agreed, with others, to purchase the half breeit Kansas lands, in case such purchase should reevive the sanction and approbation of tie President, and that the other purchases | actually did make, were of lands lesaliy op2n to pre-emption, still, in view of his relativas tv the Indixns aud to the settlers, and to the necessity of his keeping himself not only with out bias, but without the least semblance oi bias, amid the disturbed and conflicting inter- ual interests of the territory, it behoved him to keep clear of all such transactions. Iis ‘ailure todo this, so far as he personally is concerned, excludeChim from our particular sywpathies. The New York Evening Post nas fairly gone demented. A short time since it very properly denounced Walker and his compan- ions asa band of plundering murderers. Lo itsissue of Monday last we find smothered re- jvicing over the rumored action of Costa Rica, in the way of countenancing and aiding those bandits. It (the Post) is evidently Kinney tual—very evidently. This is apparent in its labors to bring about the re-establishment of African slavery in Central America; a work in which a y ago nobody would have dreamed of ever se it engaged. es Paid Up.—We hezr, incidentally, that in ‘amation has reached this city that the »mount of the Government's recent judgment (about $49,000) against Beverly C.
