Picayune pulls off Its glasses and spits in the face of the Cincinnati Coipmetciâl in the following spiteful an<5 logical style : "The Cincinnati Commercial gravely assess that the news of the chimerical outrages in Madi son parish, circulated by the re liable Murre! I, and propogated through the country by Repub lican telegrammers and Mr. Howard Carroll, caused a fall in State consols to 36^. This is about equal to the Commercial's average capacity for judging the relation between cause and ef fect. That paper evidently thinks that all jwst hoes must necessa rily be propter hoes ; as for in stance, that tl^i publication of Tuesday mornfng's Commercial is the direct consequence of Monday's rise in cotton futures, or that the failure of Prof. Proc tor's meteor shower was caused by the Ute war. However, ad mitting that Louisiana consols declined to 36^ in consequence of Murrill's Madison parish out rages, bow is it that they are now quoted at 48^? On the same principle they must have gone up becaose Murrill's Madi son parish outrages turned out to be a pure chimera, originating either in. Murrill's fertile fancy, or in the invention of Mr. Wood ford and of Mr, Howard Carroll. You 3hould consider your ad versary as absent when his sen ses ^re departed,
