Switzerland in Indiana. 1t would seem b,
the following account of this Western settlement
given in an indiana paper, that Swiss emgrants
have ONLY to travel few hundred miles to find
themselves again at home, in the midst of prospc-
rous fellow countrymen.
We have often, says the .Yevay Monitor, ad-
mired the beauty, order, and fertility of the Swift
zerand farms and vineyards. and seen with de-
light, the happy and contented countenances of
the industrious Swiss, bespeakins health, peace,
and plenty. Frequently, have VIC heard Switzer-
land spoken of, by those who pass up and down
the river, as being one of the the most enehant-
ing places on the banks OF the Ohio.
We had the curiosity, few days since, to
make some inquiries from one Of the first settlers
and from him we learned the following facts:-
In the year 1901, three families, consisting of
seventeen persons. left Switzerland, in Europe,
for this country. In the year 1905, they settled
what we now term Switzerland proper; on the
rich and fertile banks of the Ohio, half mile be-
low Vevay. The amount of their riches, at that
time, consisted in athletic bodies, industrious,
economical and temperate habits, and seven dol
lars in money. This stock was not mismproved;
they planted vineyards and commenced the cul-
tivation Of the grape. They now manufacture
from four to five thousand gallons of wine yearly,
which is kuown in market as the - Tevay ,cine"
They have some OF the most beautiful orchards in
the western country, bearing the most rich and
delicious fruit. Of the seventeen persons who
came to this country together all are living except

From the Globe.

The gentlemen implicated in Mir. ing hams letter, which we insert, have fur nished ns withthe call madeupon them Sby the President, and tine several res penses made by each-of them. 1t is strange that Mr. Ingham would charge men who have born pure aiai unsullied characters through life with sslying in wait to assassinate him, sshat he would, by direct communication, cau upon the President to interpose his authority uponthe occasion. and then leave the city himself before the informatioa he gave eeuld-reach the Chief Magistrate, to whom he appealed to redress the inn pnted wrongs. Afr. lngham was him. self the only accuser and witness to whom the President could refer, 10 make good the charges against the pub lie officers; and it was very extraordina- Ty that he should make an investigation necessary. and abandon the city before theindividuaIs charged could have an opport.as::isiityy of convincing him, by prov ing the real state of facts, how much he had wronged them in his suspicious.
 But was it respectful to the President to make allegations which, if true, in- volYed the dismissal of several of the prominent oflinas in the Departments, without t.enabling him to ascertain the tacts on whichit was necessary to pre- dicate his conducta Mir. lnghana knew irem tho course held by tho President towards the officers engaged in the af fair of honor in Pennsylvania, that hel would not tolerate violence on the part of those connected with Government
