AUGUST ELECTION. IE DAILY COURIER. MISCELLANEOUS. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Removal Co.

This well-known and long established Banking-house has been removed to "Newcomb's Building," corner of Main and Bullitt streets. They have been a long time in the Exchange and Banking business, and deservedly enjoy the confidence of tho community. Their location is central, and the building one of the best constructed, most beautiful and imposing in the city. The Fifth Ward School House. We learn that the city authorities have closed their contracts to have the Fifth Ward Public School rebuilt.

Mr. J. Rogers, the architect, has the superintendence of the plans, construction, and from what we have heard in regard to it, we have no doubt that it will be the best constructed and most admirable school houso in the city. 'Slic Louisiana The New Orleans Bee thus speaks of the platform of the American party of Louisiana, as recently adopted in convention: It is a well digested and satisfactory exposition of the doctrines and sentiments of the American party in Louisiana; that it 13 explicit, lucid, frank, and open; that on the religious question it takes the highest constitutional, conservative grounds, utterly repudiating and protesting against the religious test introduced at the Philadelphia Convention. It not only, like the Georgia platform, disavows that teat, but specifically refers to the odious eighth section of the Philadelphia platform, with its narrow and bigotted fling against Catholicism, and denounces and condemns it in indignant terms.

For the Louisville Courier. From One of the Proscribed. Messrs. Editors As you are not slow in speaking out when called on, I think it but justice to you that you should be made acquainted with the facts, as far as practicable. Yon have mentioned more than once your disapproval of the action of our School Trustees, in reference to the late election of teachers.

Now, allow me to say that their petty proscription (sa you justly term it) was not confined to included ad who were so unfortunate as to have been born out of the United States, whether Catholic or Protestant. The writer is most decidedly Protestant, and, in matters of politics, is and has always been on the so-called Amer can side since its Hrst commencement; so you see that it was not confined to Catholics, as I before stated. Now, in regard to the caucus that thing was so well understood by some of the teacherstbat they could say in advance how many votes would be cast for or against the different applicants. Seeing how matters stood, and being among the list of unfortunates, in being bom quite young in a foreign country, I withdrew my appliaation, thereby saving myself the humiliation of a defeat. Xhe public wiliform their own opinions of such action.

A. B. C. to be trusted in any emergency. In the present canvass he occupies a high and enviable position, which cannot be compromised even by defeat.

Advocating the same principles which he alVvays upheld when he was supported with such enthusiasm by the late Whig party, without any pledges or concessions, he ia now receiving the almost individual support of the very party that earnestly opposed him two and three years ago, and, from the manifestations of public sentiment recently, he will be heartily supported by scores of good men who stood up to him in the good old times of Whiggery; who are advocates of American principles, but are not willing to entrust their keeping to men who are not to be trusted. We know wo will be denounced by some bitter partizans for oppressing so good an opinion of Col. Preston. Although on two or three subjects wo may differ widely with him, yet we honor and respect him, and know that he entertains precisely the same views of public policy now that he did when we supported him with so much pleasure a short few years ago. More Proscription.

We spoke a few days since of the petty proscription that had been visited upon us because we dared to speak our opinions. We expected to be bitterly denounced and proscribed, but did not anticipate matters would be carried to such an extent as has been proposed. We have been threatened that the entire and concentrated power and influence oi the order would be used to crush us uuless we yielded our rights and duties as a good citizen, and submitted to the dictation of a set of men whose only motives are to secure powsr and place. Our application to withdraw from the order has been denied, because, as a member remarked, "We have got the Courier man just where we want him. We will not permit him to withdraw, but will keep his mouth shut until after the election, and then we will expel and disgrace him!" They thought they had their heel on our neck, and that we would be spiritless enough to let it remain there unresistingly.

But they missed their mark. Their threats we despise. Their malice we defy. We have published, and with the help of Heaven, we will continue to publish an honest and an independent journal. We will endeavor to do our duty fearlessly, regardless ot favors or frowns.

And when we find that the public, whose impulsos are always true, refuses to support a paper thus conducted, we will cheerfully and willingly resign our position. Thank God, we havo a stout heart, a strong arm, and a willing hand, and when we are driven from our position for being too honest, and for utterly refusing to be led by demagogues, we do not apprehend any difficulty in obtaining a livelihood for ourself and family by honest toil. John ollife Dbivin out of South Carolina. -Our readers will remember the notice of the death of a Mr. Willis, of South Carolina, upon his arrival at Cincinnati a few weeks ago, for the purpose of setting free a negro woman and her children, who were represented to have been of his own blood.

He had prepared a will de-rising all his property to this woman and her children, and appointed three notorious Abolitionists of Cincinnati as his executors. One of the executors, Mr. Jolliffe, a law-yorof Cinciunati, proceeded a few days ago to Soulh Carolina in fulfilment of the trust, but the Edisto (S. Clarion learns from a private source, that Jolliffe was advised by the citizens of Williston to leave that place in short order, and that being indisposed tu bide the consequences, he did, in fact, leave on the down train of the cars on Monday morning for Cincinnati. Tub Ohio Republican Nomination.

On Friday there was a Stat? Convention of the Ohio Republican party, held in Columbus. Salmon P. Chase, the distinguished Abolition Senator, was nominated for Governor by a large majority; Thomas H. Ford for Lt. Governor; Jacob Brin-kerhoof for Judge of the Supreme Court; F.

M. Wright for Auditor; J. H. Baker for Secretary of State; W. H.

Gibson for Treasurer; F. D. lumbal! for Attorney General, and Alex. Conoverfor Member of the Board of Public Works. Tho Know-Nothings participated in this con-vontion, but many of them will refuse to support the ticket.

Tlie CongrcssiosiaS. Canvass. The Congressional canvass in this district is exciting more and more attention as the election day approaches. The two candidates, Messrs. Marshall and Pkkbton, are, in point of ability, far superior to any competing candidates in the State.

Col. Marshall enlists the earnest support of his friends, not for himself personally for he is personally objectionable to forty-nine out of every fifty of those who support him but for the cause he advocates, and the able manner in which he sopports it. Col. Preston has, and deservedly, too, great personal popularity, and his manly bearing, his remarkabW able efforts on the stump, and the energy with which he has conducted the canvass thus far, against what at first seemed such overwhelming odds, has excited the enthusiasm of his friends to a remarkable degree. Even his most bitter opponents concede to Col.

Marshall the possession of talents of a very high order. For his talents we have the greatest admiration, and, as we have heretofore remarked, were he possessed of the requisite consistency and honest fixedness of principle, there are no honors the nation could bestow of which he would not be eminently worthy. Four years since, between Col. Marshal! and Col. Preston, advocating precisely the same principles, we should not have hesitated in deciding in favor of Col.

Marshall. We were opposed to his nomination in 1849, but we zealously supported him aftar he was nominated, and his admirable conduct during his first Congressional term excited our admiration, and induced us to believe that we had done him injustice in even fearing that he would not make a reliable and faithful representative. He attended to his duties promptly and energetically, won a commanding influence in Congress, and came home in such high favor that he was renominated by his friends and returned for another term, afler a closely contested and exciting election. But it seemed as if two years was the limit during which Col Marshall could be consistent. Almost immediately after his return to Congress he began to show his weak points.

He wished a more honorable and lucrative position under government, and his desire to secure office seemed to absorb every other consideration. Going to Washington an Emancipationist, to accomplish Ids purposes he separated from 1 i Clay and the entire Kentucky -rise they wen' rut sufficiently i digued his n.ime to the memorable maniicoio those Southern iire-ealers, Toombs, Stephens, His bitter opposition to Scott's nomination, and his subsequent refusal to support him a "regular too, of the party to which he then belonged are events still fresh in the recollection of our readers. Having utterly bankrupted himself politically, he then, by dint ot persevering entreaties, secured his appointment to the lucrative post of Minister to China. While it seems he was constantly in hot water, and on his return home, being still anxious to keep himself before the people and to secure any fat office that might be in the way, he joined the new party to which he had hitherto been violently opposcJ, and is now asking the people for their suffrages. Col.

Marshal! has been tried, and in all the essential requisites of a statesman has been found wofully deficient. He is fickle and unre liable, and lacks the firmness which should control the actions of all public men. When Col. Preston commenced political life we were not favorably inclined toward him. Indeed, he had been abused to such an extent that prejudices had, almost without our own knowledge, been created in our mind against him.

When he was a candidate for the State Convention we opposed him. His course in that body, and his subsequent course in the Legislature, excited admiration for his energy, his skill, and his talents. He made two wonderful races for Conjref his course while there challenged univ i' imitation. A tajro dignified and ru-vcr occupied a seal in Ccnp-: His plcaiin? ami winning manners, his suavilv, and his nersonal populari ty, enabled him to acauire a commanding influence among his brother Congressmen. That influence ho used with a remarkably wise discretion; and we venture to say that no representative that this district could send to Congress could equal Col Preston for efficiency.

And although wo differ from Col. Preston on the great question which is now occupying so much of the public attention, truth and justice, and the promptings of our own heart, impel us to do him the fullest justice. He is, and alwiys has been, moderate and conservative, and this very question we would rather trust in his hands than in those of Col. Marshall, for the simple and substantial reason that we always knew islicre to find him! "We. have never known a rcliafl or.sistent politician than Col.

Preston. He has always been firm and true. He tas.es his positions deliberately and from ti convictions of his best judgment, and we havo yet to hear of the slightest vacillation on his irt since he entered political life. Such a man ij i.cund to command respect, and such a man is WA. P.

Osborne, the thorough go-ahcad Superintendent of the Jeffersonville Railroad, visited Indianapolis on Friday for the purpose of perfecting the arrangements for the new passenger route hence to Saint Louis. A new time-table goes into operation to-day, whereby certainty and greater speed in the connections will be had. The time from Indianapolis to this city is shortened three-quarters of an hour. Bread The Size of the Loaf. It is the size of the five? cent loaf we wish to call attention to.

The price of good flour now is as low as six dollars per barrel, about half the sum that had to be paid a month or two ago. Now, we would like to see the loaf of baker's bread "twice as big" as it was before. XW We hear expressions of considerable curiosity being made as to the lady boarding-housekeeper, on Fifth street, in this city, who Marie Fonisnay so graphically dosciibas in her book of travels through America. The description translated from the French, was published in the Courier on Friday. It may be all a mere fancy sketch of the witty Parisiennr.

It was altogether the feature of Saturday's exhibition'. S3F" The weather is abundantly warm now-a-days. After night, however, there is a refreshing coolness in the atmosphere highly conducive to pleasant slumbers. As yet, musquitoes, those pestiferous nightingales with stings, are few and far between.

The Mechanic's Institute continues to prosper, and its pleasant library and reading rooms are daily and nightly much frequented. Fer the exhibition next fall, extensive arrangements are being made. Rev. Wm. Vaughn, who has been for more than thirty years a minister in Kentucky, will preach each night this week in the alnut street Baptist church, oorner Fourth and Walnut streets.

For the LouiBville Daily Courier. The Candidates at Hays' Sprlnss Mr. Vance on the stump. The speaking at Hays' borings, in Jefferson county, which took place on Friday, attracted a large crowd. The candidates for Congress led off, Itwas Col.

Marshall's time to make the opening speech He did not arrive on the ground, however, until Col Preston, who had waited for some time beyond the usual time of their speaking, had nearly finished his speech. As soon as he saw Col. Marshall on the ground he offered him the stand, which Col. Marshall very willingly refused. Both gentlemen seemed a good deal fatigued by their constant labor.

The county candidates were an on me giouuu, uui uie evening was so far spent when the candidates for Congress had finished that they did it show themselves. Mr. Vance, the candidate of the Anti-Know-Nothing party, went up to the stand after Col. Mar shall had finished, and said that he had merely intended to announce himsolf a candidate for the office of sheriff, but as Col. Marshall had very unnecessarily introduced his name into his speech, he would be glad if the company would allow him to snv a few words.

One spontaneous bnrst "go on. go' on" fol owed his request, andfor fifteen ortwenty minutes he poured such a torrent upon the Colonel that he left the ground. Mr. Vance took up the circular isaued by tho Central Committee of the American party, and handled it very effectively. He showed that it was an order from this committee that each of the county councils should divide their council into subordinate Councds, and that each subordinate couueii should subdivide itself into clans of ten.

and that each clan of ten should have a chief selected or appointed, whose business, it should be to see that each one cf his clan cast vote properly fit the This thrust had a most wonderful effect. Manv Know Nothings, regularly organized, who had known Sir. Vance for years, and the most perfect confidence in his integrity, and knowing that he would not make an assertion that, lie did not believe, opened their eyes with perfect astonishment. Many were heard to say that if this edict was genuine they would see the Know-Nothing party 'at the 1 before they would support it. Yours, J.

John Green, it might be John of any other color, was up for attempting to pass a counterfeit 20 bill on the State Bank of Indiana, at a clothing shop on Water street. He is a tall, -harp faced, black-eyed young man, and appeared very uneasy and excited in court and may not have known the money to be counterfeit. It is on the old plate, and well executed to deceive.

He went into the shop to buy a pair of pants worth three dollars for one Burns, a young man who had been working witn him on the farm, and tendered the iB20 bill in payment. The shop keeper, before giving change, thought to inquire of his neighbors whether it was good or bad. In the antime, Watchman Powell, who happened by, detained him in conversation until the shop boy returned with the bill, which was pronounced counterfeit. He was then arrested, and the substance of the above testimony elicited. Green hes always been of good character, barring the liquor, which he couldn't let aloue, and it destroyed his mind.

The case of felony was not established, and he was held to bail for his good behavior three months in 500. A FIGHTING WOMAN.

Most of the Cough Remedies of the present day are composed largely of Parigoric, Laudanum, Morphine, or some other preparation of Opium, and that is the reason why so few are benefitted by them in the long run. This powerful Narcortic palliates aud eases the cough at first, but all the while the Pulmonary Diseas is becoming more deeply fastened on the Lungs.

It also constipates the bowels, disturbs the nervous system, and in the end does more harm that good. There is one Cough P.emedy, however, that is free from this objection. "We are assured that Rogers' Syrup of Liverwort, Tar aud Canchalagua does not contain a particle of Opium or any of its prepartions. This excellent medicine does not dry up a cough" but entirely removes it by subduing the inflammation and other causes which give rise to it. When Tubercles are forming, it checks their developement and further progres3; or if ulceration has taken place, it rssista the lungs in throwing off the corrupted matter, soothes the irritation, Seels the ulcerated cavities, and restores tfi.

again to healthy actiou. This Medicine, therefore, is not a palliative, which only relieves for the time being, but is a thorough curative, as it strikes at the very root of the disease, and by removing ihis removes at once and entirely all its remote aud attendant consequences.

ieii dlints WM. RESOR fc Cincinnati. ir i xv- ij. vuuu auu euiiju i.iuti- son, of this city, have been for sometime making arrangements to obtain funds for mining the rich bituminous coal on the south bank of the Ohio river, one hundred and fifty miies above Cairo, in this State. They propose to bring their coal to Philadelphia via New Orleans, and sell it in the former city at $6 per.ton, and then make a profit of $1 07 a ton.

The Philadelphia Inquirer seems to think this coal will be a dangerous competitor with the bituminous co3l of Pennsylvania, as it is proposed to sell it at about the same price. EP" The incarceration of the ceven members of the City Council, by order of Judge Bullock, has attracted very general attention and comment throughout the country. Most of the papers express their approbation of his course, and the EvansviHe Enquirer is especially savage in its notice of the seven martyrs.
