"PRE?TK. .r...', Our readers Lave seen, a jatspent going the rounds of the press to)yt0 effect that just on the evB of "the out break of the late war between the States, George D. i'rentice naa Deen bribed with $50,000 in gold to throw the influence of his paper, the Louisville Journal, on the Confederate side; that he received the moneyand endeavored to carry out his part of the contract ; that he wrote an article of the character desired, which was, .put ,4a tjpe ap4 about to go to press, ;whe4 thficlerkj Mr. Calvert, notified Pautl . Shipmin, of the editorial staff, . who uppesae4 the article, and, witrioiit the knowledge of Mr. Prentice, wrote and substituted ;a "loyal" article in its stead, which placed the Journal on the side of the Union and saved Kentucky. This story is now contradicted authpritatively and in the most positite terms by Gen. G. Tl Beauregard! andfoy Col. J. Stoddard Johnston, now Secre tary of the State of Kentucky, the lattsr of whom writes to the Frankfort Yeoman and the Louisville Courier Journal, a lengthy letter setting forth in detail the transaction which gave risg-terthe-false- reports.- This letteri stat3s that "George W. Johnson, a Kep- tucktan of large roresignt ana me most earnest conviction that peace should be attained by the acknowledgment of the independence of the Confederacy, made a direct offer to Mr. Prentice, who was then cramped- in money affairs, 6f 850,000 in gold ; but the $50,000 were to be used in enabling Mr. Prentice to secure enough of the stock of the pub lishing company to give him free sway providing the views sought to be advo cated by Mr. Johnson were per se the views of Mr. Prentice. The editor lis tened to the proposition, heard argu ments in its support, and turned them over in his mind while sick in bed. Xewsjof the defeat at Bull Kim Lad iust reached - him. but he dictated a strong leader, which claimed that all should fight for the Union to the lfijSt, and directed that a copy should be sent to Mr. Johnson as his answer." The CourierJournal considers this state ment of Colonel Johnston a final refuta tion of the stories that have cast a tem porary shadov." over the memory of Mr. Prentice. Accompanying the letter of Col. John ston is a lengthy double-leaded editorial in the Courier-Journal in reference to its subject-matter, and in this editorial some of Mr. Prentice's habits and char- , acteristics are brought out and dwelt upon. The tribute to his memory we might almost say criticism of bis life and character is so handsomely wordedind is withal so manifestly just and truthful that we cannot refrain from transferring a part of the article to our columns. It was probably "writ ten by Mr, WMterson. himself, and we extract ffoiA it as f olluwb : That Air. Trent ices inner self was So ithern there can can le little dnnhr was pre-eminently a sentimentalist. His wife was Southern, His sons were Southern. His closest friends were Southern. His own nature and habits were Southern. His head and his heart were divided Oae wpnt one way, the other went the other. His judgment, which was good, ; told him the South could not win. It told him that safety lay in the Union, not out of it. All else took, the effusive side of the battle. He was in despair, and it drove him into additional excesses. On this point, how ever, mistakes should not be made; 'thongtrarharrtrhe was - an occasion at" drinker only; and, the greater part of, his time, a hard worker, i He could xfa more in an hour than most faaeri in a; day, and then he indulged himself, and he never, courted obscurity. No man .ever 4nm ijfidecejifc or disorderly,, though many nave seen him drunk; and, since this phase can no longer be" glossed over, it should be stated that his fatal passion was not at all convivial, but a disease, which, when he was dis appointed or fretted, attacked him irre sistibly. ! ' Itf is n sad thing to,ay;.but it explains rnuelf tnat may have? happened. He was hopeless. He was wretched. He was not himself. We do not know that he xlid j but he may have given way. One thing, however, wedo know he was possessed of as little venality as any man who ever lived. He had not n ; . cuuscjvuiie3 ijie vaiue or trie use- of i mohey. . ArlybCdy might stick his hand in his pocket and take what he wanted, and everybody, did. His own wants were absolutely contfirhnti- ble. We venture to say he spent fessT8' on mmseii : man tne Humblest of his employes. Always meanly clad, always poorly fed, always unostentatious, he literally spent-nothing, saved nothing. Though be earned large sums, he: was pernetnaily phnd h4nd4n his money affairs, as dependent and as helpless as a baby : He was a wit, a poet. He; had no convictions; he had inspirations merely. His heart led and his head fol lowed', :and? tim nearest forever came to -atorinclpteJotactf&7i was a prejudice, which he sometimes cherished with a whimsical pertinacity.

One of these, atter re- eiting in the most sensational style, the story of the tragedy and the subsequent events, brings before the mind's eye theecenevwhicb presented itself when Mfci Liihar was brought up for Ma. Writing to sope of the sensatfonal pi pers of tiie Nprh, h says : T f She refused ; to have anything to tie with a lawyer, although her father em ployed one to defend her. At first she eyen declined to assist in the trial, but when asked some question by the court she arose and said : "I am not guilty of this crime. My young life was blighted, mv everv!hope crushed bv the baseness and iiifidelity of bim whom lhad.'chD&-i en ior my liie-iong partner, my oniy crime was to love that man too devot edly and unselfishly. The judge, through his tears, asked her to take her seat and speaK tnrougn ner counsel. The great crowd surged closer and cried, "Let her go on !" "Go on, brave girl!'' Some defect was found, how- ver, in- tne inoictmeni, ana ie- ase was continued. On ner way DacK to the jail the people flocked after her, the men uncovering their heads and the women pressing near her and kissing her hands. In jail she occupies herself in translating a novel and reading the numerous letters wrhich she receives daily from sympathizing women. v t i ) jQaie!

The prison er was escorted on foot from the coun ty jail by two deputy sheriffs (together with her sister and mother) and placed, in open court, in the felon's dock. There was no lady present except those al ready mentioned ; and there was no demonstration of feeling, either favor able or unfavorable to the prisoner. She returned to the jail on foot accompanied with the same escort, without evoking the slightest manifes tation either of sympathy or disappro bation. V ho Does the Ostracising. The Chicago Conservator ornai ot the. col ore! peopled --fiiiiKMSMKB taKenr up and exposed the hollowness of the Re publicans who are perpetually prating: of the outrage? committed on the ne groes of the South, and particularly the fact of their being unrepresented in C jngress. The Conservator, after mild ly suggesting that some Northern cr Western district ioigbV send -colired man to Congress, says : The negro is far more ostracised 1 y the Republicans than by the most bit ter of Southern Democrats. The North ern Republicans close their factories in the face of the black man, merchants refuse to hire him, mechanics refuse to labor with' him, and" QominMh ilaboij ers will strike if he dares to intrude, while the Southerners give the negro a place to work wherever his ability fits him to serve.

Armfield, delivered in the House of Representa tives last Thursday in favor of the right of the House to repeal by a rider on an appropriation bill the section of the Revised Statutes w hich author izesjbe use of troops at the polls, will be read with interest throughout this secon of KorfhTCarblina, where iMr. Armfield isrsb.weilknowsi arid so'jiistly admired.

Philadelphia Tifees. , It will be gratifying to many in all sections of the country, who cherish grateful memories of Horace Greeley, to learn that Mr. Cornelius J. Vander bilt has just pidd to the two daughters of Mr. Greeley $30,500 each, being prin cipal and interest of the debt due to Mr. Greeley for money kindly loaned to him when the elder Vanderbilt gave him a limited allowance. Since the death of Mr. Greeley his daughters have received no dividends trom the Tribune, and the shares held by him have de clined in value from $10,000 each to nothing on the market. Beyond the Tribune stock, the claim against Van derbilt and the almost prohtless home at Chappaqua, the two daughters of Mr. lireeley bad but little it any re sources, and as the Tribune stock has been made valueless and Chappaqua has been desolated by fire, the payment by v anfierbiit is a timely and just re lief to the children of one who well de served a larger portion of this world's goods. It was an act of tardy justice rather than or generosity on the part of Mr. v anderont, out it is to his credit that he has wiped out the debt so promptly after the recent settlement of the litigation over his father's will gave him the means to do so. More of the French Elections A Sig n Iflcant Vote. . Paris, April 8. The Bonapartists are .much elated at the most certain triumph of M. Gadella, the Bonapartists' candi date in the District of Champs Elysees on tne second ballot. At Bordeaux, at the supplementary election, Sunday, for members of the Chamberof Deputies, Louis Blanauis. wno is still impnsoned for the conspir acy or 1870 against the government s national defence, polled 3,700 votes against Lavertujon, Gambettist-Repub- lican, who received 4,700 votes. Two obscure Radicals polled 1,500 each, and li on tne second banot, which is neces sary, these votes should swell Blanquis' score, his return is quite possible. This is considered significant. The Pope and the Roman Schools. Rome, April 8 A letter from the Pope to Cardinal Vicar is published, in which the Pope announces that as the success of the movement for increasing and improving the Catholic schools rtome will greatly depend upon pecu niary means, he proposes to contribute annually as large an amount of money as his private means will permit, and as the conservation of the faith in Rome is connected with the interests of the Catholic world, will also devote to the Roman schools as much Peter's pence as the needs of the universal church will permit. .
