CORRESPONDENCE.

The candidates for Governor addressed the people TO-
day. Mr.. Matson led off, and bestowed little
in the discussion of State policy In regard framinga
new Constitution, he took nearly the ground that
has been advocated Tor years in the Democratic Review,
except that he wined local legislation, saying that
some local laws necessary. He attacked
Gov. Whitcombs appointments TO the Supreme Bench,
but he failed show single instance where the Court
had made decision contrary to law. He not only ad-
yocated the proprety of continuing all the old hunkers
the bench, but he dealed out abusive ephets upon
Judge Perkins, and stated that the only qualification he
had was that Of being the conductor OF low, contempt

he should thus assal of Indiana's faithful public
wants? He is the of wealthy manx-he has always

himself on the Bench will deny, but it reserv-

about General Taylor having dirty hands when he

Joe Wright next addressed the people, and made a
mastery effort in defence Of democracy. He showed
where the democracy had always stood in regard call
ing a convention amend the Constitution, and that a
majority Of the wings had opposed it until the last
sion, when all the members voted for it except two
wings. He alluded to the fact that the democratic
vention which nominated him for Governor, passed reso
lutions in favor of vention and took ground in ia
OF liberal reforms while the convention held by the
wings passed by unnoticed Mr.. Wright also discuss

case of small box existed on Market, between

son of widow who was staying temporarily at the
house of Mr.. Pogue. IF bomb shell had been
thrown into the neighborhood it would not have
caused greater trepidation. But some of the old
" sand-bys" who lived in the neighborhood didn't
want TO believe that it was small pox, and SO they
resolved they 0ouldnt, As the attending physician
was "new man," hadn't been here forty years yet,

the town was saved and the excitement allayed, TEN.

The paper and the physician were duly curssd fol

inuring business and causing unnecessary alarm, &c
But murder will out, and so will the small pox. A
day developed the case, and small pox il was
sure enough, as the " Professors" all compelled

Mrs. Thompson, wife of John Thompson, in the

DUEL.-We learn from the Louisville Democrat
that duel was fought near Newport. KY, on We'd
nesday morning last at six o'clock. The combatants
were both of Cincnnati-one a Mr.. Singer, teacher
in the Woodward High School; the other a Mr..
Smith, young lawyer. 1t grew out of cowhiding
affair which. 1t will be remembered, took place at
Woodward High School short time ago. The wea-
pons used in the duel were pistols and the distance
was eleven PAGES. The pistols were discharged and
the result was that Smith received ball in the thigh
and Singer slight flesh wound in the arm.
