The State of Indiana a Doggery.

The Liquor Law convert the State of In
diana into doggery-and to carry out the
the law the people are required to fork over
the dimes to furnish the liquor. We think
there will be little squirming manifested
among the people, when they have to pay
over their liquor tax.
The new law authorizes the appointment
of township agents to sell liquor, and requires
the county commissioners to furnish the ncc-
essary funds to the agents, out of the county
Treasury, to purchase, the liquor with. The
Commissioners must get the money into the
treasurer before they can order it out-con-
sequently they must raise it by taxation-
Now the question naturally arises, how much
money will it require to supply Orange coun-
ty? We have ten townships-say $500 will
furnish one township with the necessary as
sortment of liquor-this is low estimate
then to supply the ten townships, it will re-
quire $1,000. Then the agents are to be paid
by the county. There will be ten. Say
they can be had at so piece, which will
make 81 ,500-making $4,000 to be raised
by taxation. The account will stand thus
For whisky &C., for the county. $4,000 90
Salary of ten agents, ........... 500 90
Total, ........ ..............S3,50 500 90
To raise this amount it will require tax
of about Is cents on the 500 According
to the law, the profits on the $1,000 worth of
liquor will only be S5OO-not half enough to
pay the agents. This will be very profitable
business, over the left shoulder, for the tax
payers of Orange county. We are already
heavily burthened with taxes-but it appears
Al. :. l. e
the contrary, they are to be increased. This
is the fruit of prohibition-it is only FORE
taste of what the people may expect from the
tee-total law party, if they give them the
power-Paoi Eagle.
Allen county contains 20 townships
twice as many as Orange-consequently the
above estimate must be doubled in our case
Are the taxpayers prepared to pay over
$1,000 as their share of the cost of electing ar

and the bully passed on, having made this pre- liminary demonstration. Shortly after the at- tack upon foreigners began about the court house yard.
 In the upper anl lower Wards, the sign of terror was completely established early in the afternoon. The self styled Americans had a satisfactory number poled--at least all they could get; and the violence that commenced on large scale diverted all attention from the polls. Indeed, naturalized citizens were too apprehensive for the safety of themselves and families to venture upon the hazardous experi- ment oi going to the polls The meagre vote shows what farce the so-called election was The know nothings have polled all they had, and we presume no one will deny that if a quiet election had been held, wc should have boiled, in the present excited state of the pub lie mind, at least six thousand votes.
 The causes which led to this disgraceful bu- siness we shall discuss hereafter. Some may chuckle over party triumph obtained by such means, but good men can read 1t oaly with dis gust and horror. Taking into the account the comparative sizes of Paris, in France and Louis- vile, Monday rivaled the bloody days of the French revolution.

Making good Rutter.

In Delaware county they are famous for mak- ing fine butter such as will keep, and con- mand high price abroad. A correspondent of the Northern Farmer says that they are in the habit of selling their dairy products at the close of the season, and thus states all the other facts:
 We pack in tubs or half firkins from the time our COWS come in, until the 1st of May, or until the grass grows, and the butter gets yellow The butter thus packed in tubs is sold to the butter speculators each Saturday, and has been selling this season from 21 to 23 cents per ID. From the time butter becomes of good color until the 1st of September or the 1st of Octo- ber, it is called here the dairy;;'' the balance of the season is called fresh butter; the dairy has for three or four years been sold, in this v- cnity, from 20 to 20 cents per lb packed in tirkins; the fresh fall butter selling from one 10 four cents per lb higher. The idea that but ter cannot be kept sweet and good throughout the summer is great error l sold but few days since lot of butter manufactured last season, that was as fresh and as sweet as the day it was packed.
 There is no difficulty in preserving butter but it is vastly more so to preserve 6utteTnsiM for that length of time; but butter properly manufactured may be kept for any length ol

Democratic Meeting at Saunders
 vile, Prairie County.

According to previous notice, democratic meeting was held at Saundersville on the 1lth inst. The meeting was organized by calling William Sanders to the chair, and J. E. Gate- wood to act as secretary. Alter few brief and pointed remarks by the chairman, explaining the objects of the meeting, Mir. Tom 5. Tur- ner read the following preamble and resolutions, and moved their adoption, which being second ed, Judge B. C. Totten addressed the meeting in their support. J. E. Gatewood was then called on and addressed the meeting; after which the motion for the adoption of the preamble and resolutions, was called for, put to the meet ing and unanimously carried.
 Mr. Turner then moved that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Des Arc Citizen, True Democrat and all other papers in the State friendly to the cause. Motion carried.
 The meeting then adjourned to meet at Brownsville on the 4th Monday of this month.
 Preamble and Resolutions.
 The midnight activity. of the newly organ ized know nothing party; its dark but constant energetic endeavors to make proselytes its plac ing those whom its efforts and its pursuasions may temporarily sway under the obligation of an oath in order to defend party featv, against the return of reason and the free exercise of judgment has thrown upon the people the necessity of adopting measures for the public safety; such as may prevent the country from being rode down by dark lantern schemes, and oath bound partisans These precautionary measures may produce some little trouble, but we are not to forget that "eternal vigilance is the price that is paid for liberty, and that il we refuse to bestow the most rigid attention upon our rights, we hazard their loss.
 l Prescription in politics and intolerance in re- ligion are the qualities most opposite to the federal constitution and the genius of American liberty. The freedom achieved in the revou- ton, with the aid of Lafayette and Catholic France, was not the privilege of prescribing others on account of religious belief; but secu rlty to all in the enjoyment of their several opinions according to ne dictates of each mans conscience. This was the principle achieved in the revolution.
 The constitution which provides that Con-. gress shall enact naturalization laws, expects that persons born in other lands, will by adop- ton become American citizens. The length of res idence, precedent to the right of being classed as an American, was merely question of expediency, which Congress long since deter- mined It may be the time adopted was fully as short as it should be, possibly the period might be somewhat extended without giving just ground of complaint; but it cannot be the l true policy of the country, to treat those per-

ENGLISH IGNORANCE OF AMERICA. - Very
 few Englshmen know much in regard to the
 United States, and our people oftentimes have
 much merrlment over the blundcrs of their
 English friends. Boston merchant was ask ed at dinner party in England, short time since, if there were many people in Boston who
 knew the English language? Another of our friends was inquired of in London if the Indians
 in Boston worshipped at the same churches as the white residents? One of the most recent
 instances of this ignorance of the state of af-
 fairs in the United States is letter from ian officer serving in Canada,' published in the
 London Times, who proposes to raise body of soldiers in Canada for the Crimea by the Queens offering pardon to all the deserters from Her Majesty's service in the United States
 This officer thinks that at least two thousand
 men might be obtained by such means, and re- comments that officers should be appointed all along the frontier to receive back Her Majes- tvs runaway subjects The officer states that the condition of British deserters in the United States is worse than that of slaves, and that in consequence of having broken their oath of ti- delitv to their Queen, their wo7d js not receiUed in our courts; so that they are unable to sue tor> their wages and are compelled to work for noth- ing.-Bost0n Tianscript.

CErF We refer our readers to the details of the shocking occurrences on Monday. There can be butone opinion of their character. All good men regard them with shame and sorrow- Louisville has signalized herself in lawlessness above her neighbors We do not intend just now to indulge in extended comments. Our main purpose is, to get the facts before the peo pie of Kentucky and the public generally. We are deeply mortified for Louisville, but 1t IS idle to disguise facts. A few remarks we shall make however
 The attempt to lay the blame upon our for eign population will be faimc. The fact is known to all that they were alarmed at the demonstrations made against them at the pre- vlous elections. Instead of being excited to violence they were apprehensive of attacks upon them, and very few could be induced to % near the polls. We leave the public to judge if men in this condition would be likely 10 provoke a dominant organized party, who evidently had the physical force at command, and were believed to be determined to use it. It will be found, beyond question, that foreign CTS made no resistance unless first assalled, and having reason to believe that their lives were in danger Of the truth of this the reader can judge by reading the details elsewhere. We believe they are accurate generally; at least as much so as they can be made We leave It to any one to judge whether a feeble and terrt- ed minority were at all likely to commence rot and disorder. We know that rumors of the sort prevailed. Early ill the afternoon we were standing on etferson, and saw amob rush. Ing madly down the street. As they approach. ed, the word passed along that the Dutch had taken the polls with a hundred guns, and the Amerlcans were rushing to the arsenal for mus- kets and cannon Men and boys, in hot haste, rushed by with few muskets and presently the cannon followed--by whose orders we are not informed.
 The rumor was all lie. There was not the least disturbance at the polls-no arms there. i These reports are but the common machinery of mobs Men must be stimulated to such deeds mobs do by alleged wrongs, real or Imaginary. All men of sense ought to recol- feet that lies are part, and a necessary part, oi mob law. Indeed, the scenes of yesterday were prepared for by incendiary appeals, founded on rumors utterly fase
 We know 1t IS insisted upon, in spite of the knowledge of hundreds who made the experi- ment, that all had an opportunity to vote. It Is well known, however, that system of terror was established at the polls, or in their vicinity We had an opportunity to see it at the Sixth Ward polls We were in crowd at the en- trance door to the polls, of democrats and know nothings crowding in to vote. There was not the least disorder or i'll humor, when a bully with a club followed by several of the same class, ushed into the room, shouting Hurrah for Marshall, clear these polls,'' and flourishing his bludgeon. The crowd behind gave way,

DREss.-Niss Murray, sisterofa Scotch Duke, and maid of honor to Queen Victoria is HOW on visit to this country. An exchange paper says:
 |" Her frank and cordial manners, her ntelli- gence and great kindness of heart, have secured her many friends She appears, however to have been struck with amazement at the ex- travagant expenditures, the helple,sneSs, and the i'll health of that unfortunate class of be- ings, the fashionable women of our cities. Miss Murray, like the fashionable women of Eu- rope dresses so plainly thatit probably costs her less to dress whole year than many New York lady cxpends for half a dozen handler chiefs. It is settled thing in Europe that ex- travagarco in dress is the very extreme of vul garity, and is never indulged in except by those whose only claim to distinction is their length of purse"

time if packed in good firkins; great care should be taken to wash out all the buttermilk, so that nothing shall be packed but the clear butter and about one ounce of salt to sixteen ounces of butter and with sweet butter man may se- cure class of customers tEat will pay five to ten cents more per pound than for butter brought in pails, with the butter not we'll ma nufactured We churn ill the morning, wash ing with the cold well water, working and salt ing: then 1t is set in the cellar until the next day, when 1t is again worked and packed, then kept in cool place in the cellar, and covered with layer of salt with cloth laid on the butter, and keeping it covered with brine.
 We think that to get the greatest amount of cream, the pans should be strained not more than half full, and placed upon rcks of slats eight inches apart, the pans not being allowed to touch each other. The milk room should be high between joints, and ventilated at the top, that the heated air may escape. It requires dry cool room for mlk-room with blinds at the windows, so as to prevent the wind from disturbing the milk. The room must not be damp and cold like cellar nor should there be sping in it.
 As to cows, 1 care not whether they be na. tive or imported blood, if the dairy will yield seven pounds butter per COW per week; but a less quantity IS not profitable. Large, well formed cows, that when they fail will make good beef, are the kind; but cows from seven to twelve, or fourteen years old, are the most profitable for butter making; and be sure you get those with hAannato colored udder and teats. and with messy or velvet feeling, as they are not as liable to crack as the white teatcd cows are, and are the freest milkers, and the quietest and hardest cows.
 l shall not attempt to give any extraordinary yields of butter as it is difficult to give all the attending circumstances. A yield of 9 lbs of butter per week, on an average of Is cows un- der ordinary treatment, is great yield. Ionce made l5 lbs ' OF butter ill week, from a COW fed on good fresh pasture, but gave her good mess, three times day, of potatoes carrots, rye meal, or something of the kind, and had her fed high during the previous winter. When men get great yields, they seldom give the full details of the management of their cows
