The Esfrax Nnfices.

Tue Vincennes Gazette finds great fault with the
advertising of the indianapolis papers, and the estray
notices in particular 1t denounces those who passed
the law, in the following Characteristic style:
ave consider that the lawl fraud upon the
public, brought about doubt for political end by
selfish demagogues, whose rotten putrd souls, are
too contemplate for the devils use.''
If an election was pending, we should no doubt
hear that Atkinson had inserted the forego-
ing while the - editor had gone to dinner and that
he had prepared a paragraph knocking it into
cooked hat but omitted TO insert 1t.
Seriously, however, let the editor be satisfied whom
it is he denounces. The law in question passed
at the session of l5iO-4l, and was introduced by
Jesse Morgan, OF Rush, Wing. See H. Doc. p. 49,
That year it will be remembered Also the Wings had
a quorum on joint ballot without counting a single
Democrat. 1t was approved by judah, Speaker, Hail.
L. Gov and By Governor Bigger. Now if these
Wings selfish demlgogues, whose rotten, putrid
souls are too contemplate for the devils USE"
why did not the editor of the Gazette denounce them
when the law was passed. 1t was generally unfa-
voraby considered by the Democratic papers at the
time, and as strongly recommended by almost the
entire Wing press. Bit the case is now altered 1t
is your bull that has gored my OK"
But what is all the fuss about Is it because they
yield such tremendous revenue that the local presses
are to be ruined Such certainly is not the case. Is
it because the people are better accommodated! Such
is the fact, is easily explained, and is con-
sdered By those editors who have examined the sub
ect Under the old postage law, the estrays and the
ninety extra papers which have be published and
distributed have in several cases left US minus and
we appeal the Journal if it realized In three
years any thing equal a fair equivalent for the
service rendered As TO its benefits to the peOple at
large we contend they far greater under the law
than they would be without it. Any one who has lost
an estray has only call his county clerk and if
his estray has been taken up any where in the State
he finds it on fle Not the local papers Suppose
an estray from Marion county taken up in Knox
county 1t is advertised in the Gazette. Half doz-
en- copies of that paper might be taken in Marion
county, and what chance would the owner ever have
of recovering his property
Again: The law as it stands only requires the
finder of estray advertise in the State Gazette
the loser cIn advertise where he pleases. And we
venture TO sly that under the old law not estray
in twenty was ever advertised by the finder taken
up, as is required to be done by the new law.
Notwithstand M what we have said. assure our
brethren of the press that straw shall be thrown
in the way of the Legislature doing as they please
with the matter; and &e have noticed it more to show
what consistent paper is the Vncennes Gazette,
than for desire to retain such work. to keep from
it it's crumbs.

Tennessee :. Senator.

Villany has triumphed in the Legislature of Ten
nessee, in the election Of Senator of the United
States wretch by the name of Tarney has been
elected by the Wings with the aid of few professed
but traitorous democrats As for the latter they
should be driven in disgrace from the party they have
betrayed, and never be permitted to defle it again.
Turney ought to take his seat In the Senate by the
side of Old Cameron of Pennsylvania over both of
whom should be blazoned on the wall-"WE OBTAIN
ED THESE SEATS BY THE BETRAYAL OF OUR PARTY
AND ITS PRINCIPLES" The Senate should be to them
pillory, and they should be treated with that
and contempt wbich every pure and honest
mind must feel towards them.

Madison and indianapolis Rail Road.

We are informed that the Directors, at their late
meeting in Madison, unanimously voted to direct the
purchase the heavy rail for the road between Edin
burgh and Indianapolis and that the lettings for the
superstructure will be advertised probably in Deem
Der next. This latter move, should the spring open
favorably will have tendency TO greatly expedite
the work. The resolution respecting the iron is
wisely adopted and will be found be great saving
in the end. besides adding to the safety and capaby
of the road. We are exceedingly pleased to the
energy and spirit, as well as the wisdom, exhibited
by the directors, and it will be no doubt source of
much qualification to all concerned.

Grand Council of the Confederate Iroquois on the
Tonawanda Reservation in Genesee county In the
course of the narrative he says
The profound regard and veneration which the In
dian has ever retained towards the name and memory
Of Washington, is most interesting evidence of his
universally appreciated worth and the fact that the
Red men regard him not merely as one of the best
but the very best that has existed or that
viii exist, is beautifully illustrated in singular
credence, which they maintain to this day viz
that Washington is the only white man who has ever
entered Heaven, and is the only one who will enter
there till The end of the world
