For Inc Palladium
The Early Settlers of Naync County.

MEssRs EpIroRs: | have felt interested in
reading the proceedings OF the second annual
meeting of the early settlers of Indianapolis,
and embracing also the county of Marion
And while several other cities in Indiana are
about to hold meetings of Old Settlers, why
not the city of Richmond. embracing the
county of Wayne. AS early as 1905 few
families from Kentucky settled in the vicinity
of Richmond and in 1905 emigration to that
part of the Indian Territory, now known as
WAYNE county. rapidly increased. so that in
1916 the Territory admitted into the
Union, under the name of the State of Indi-
ana Those emigrants who from 1905 10
1910 emigrated, as heads of families. with
very few exceptions have passed away, and
their offspring, in many cases. are now tar adj
vanced in wears If, then, there exists in the
survivors a desire 10 perpetuate the incidents,
the toll and priva,ions of pioneer life, let day
be named and notice given when and where.
The term Old Settler, is inteterminate, but
may be made to include all who settled ante
rior to 1912 These suggestions are submit
ted for the consideration Of all the living who
may take an interest in such a gathering.
II.
We give place to the above communication
with pleasure, and hope an effort will be
made to secure the proposed meeting of the
Old Settlers. We suggest that all persons
who came here previous TO the year 1920, be
admitted TO membership. Let Society of
the early pioneers be formed, and a record
made containing brief history of their lives;
and as they are one by one called hence, have
an appropriate memoir of them placed upon
this record. In years 10 come, it would be the
most highly interesting work that could posi-
bly, fall into the hands of our children. The
meetings of this Society should be held annual
ly, and We can imagine no more interesting
occasions than they would afford.
We therefore take the liberty of stating that
on Saturday, the 2lst day of July next. a
meeting of the cid settlers will be held in the
Starr Hail. in this city, fer the purpose of or
Canning Society. and of making arrange
ments for a general meeting az some subse-
quent day. We are authorized by several of
the old pioneers of this county to say that
they will attend at the time proposed. Sew
eral efforts have heretofore been made 10 gel
up meetings for this purpose. but have failed.
The proposed meeting viii be held unless
some Unforeseen occurrence should prevent.
We therefore invite all who feel any interes.
in the matter, to attend st Starr Hall on Sa.ur-
day, July 2l, at o'clock.

THE FARExnAUGH MURpERERs.-The La.

two of the murderers engaged in the above
deed Of crime and blood. 1t will be recollec.-

were indicted for the murder. two of whom
Driscoll and Rice have already been put upon
their trial and found guilty. Three others.
whose names are Chapman. jenkins and
Prvott, were being tried, when fortunately,
perhaps for their necks, or at least for their
characters, the confession of the remaining two

the guilt of the parties making it, as well as
that of the two had been previously convict

upon trial, and leaves no doubt whatever Of
their innocence. On reading the confession
in Court, the jury at once brought in a yer
dict of not guilty, whereuPon Judge Petit

strides in our midst and unless the punish

lessly and uufinchingly meted out to the evil
doors and the lappers of blood, by the iroa
hand Of law, society itself will be shaken TO
its foundations, and all the moral reform en-
actments that were ever enclosed within the
covers Of a statute book will not prevent US
from becoming nation of blood, and falling
headlcng into barbarism.

kauyuS n Free STATE.

We are surprised at the tone of discourage
Inent which we observe in many journals as
to the prospects Of freedom in kanzas. With
no wish to intimate that the duty Of Northern
men is wholly DISCHARGED, we must say that
all our intelligence from Kanzas at the present
time, is such As to satisfy Us that the probable
tiles are vastly in favor OF its adopting the in
stitu,on of a free State.
We have more than once intimated that we
regard the complexion of the first Legislature
as a matter comparatively unimportant Sc
cured by violence and fraud as it was, the first
election would give warrant to slave own
ers that they might prudently remove their
property into the new Territory. And. what
ever its legislation, no legislature can make a
slave State where there are few or no slaves
Now in Kanzas, on the 30th Of March, in a
population Of near 9 600, there was but 1877
slaves. most of whom had been there many
wears. We have no accounts since of any
large migration thither Of men with slaves In
large numbers. 1t is impossible for such a
migration to be conducted secretly And we
have this warrant for saying. that with pres
ent population of probably 90, 900 persons.
There are in kanzas now only handful Of
slaves. Southern planters do not yet dare
move thither their property.
Even if the complexion of the Legislature
were improved. lis charac.e is not such as to
give much encouragement to Senator Atchi-
son or other Southern propagandists. The
Encouragement is the fruit of the first cleo
ton, carried BY force and arms. We receiv-
ed yesterday the closing returns of the resul
OF the second election, which filed the vacan
cies where the Governor refused to give certi
icates on the result of the first From thes,

When we add, that Of those / ) men who
represented the invading party from Missouri
who have certificates of election, the seats of
twelve will probably be contested. gained
by invasion only we believe it will be felt
that the legislature has no decided weight of
opinion In opposition to the free state destiny
of kanzas.
So far are the settlers of kanzas from feel
ing discouraged in this matter, that they feel,
and we believe the frontiers men this side OF
the line feel. that the question is practically
decided in favor OF free institutions. unless

By consultation with large number OF the
members of the Republican party of this county,
We are led to believe that the proposition to Sc

opportunity Of expressing this preference as TO
who shall be the candidates. There could be 10
more democratic vay-al Is equality; aud viii no
doubt be satisfactory to all From the general
appreciation we have heard expressed Of this plan,
we take the liberty Of saying that on Saturday,
the LTD day Of August next, primary election
will be held by the members Of the Republican
party in this county, for the purpose Of nouaina-
ting candidates for the respective Offices to be filed
at the October election. There is Clerk of the

this announcement, without any special authority,
after the most thorough inquiry among the mem

THE ELECTIONS.

Cincinndti.-An election was held in this
city on Monday, I'd of April, for Mayor, Magis-
trates, &c. The issue and the result have both
been somewhat beclouded, but majority against
Know Nothingism finally appeared. In Octo-
Der last, the Know Nothing majority was more
than four thousand.
There was a great riot connected with this
election, the particulars of which will be found
on our fourth page. The City Clerk, on the
9th, issued certificates of election to all the
Democratic candidates-the Judges of the
Eleventh and Twelfth Wards, where the vio-
lence was done, having made returns under
oath.
AS late as the 9th, there was still some dis
order in the city. Fsran was the Democratic
and Taylor the Know Nothing candidate for
Mayor. The majority of the former was finally
set down at 1,O40. y
Cleveland, Ohio.-On the Sd instant, Castle,
the Know Nothing candidate for Mayor, was
elected, by about 500 majority, over Ex-Gov-
ernor Wood, Democrat. In Columbus, the
Know Nothings were victorious. In Toledo,
the anti-Know Nothings carried the election.
Sandusky, Ohio.-The Sag NIGHT" Mayor
is elected by $50 majority. The township is
also Anti-Know Nothing. g
Cdyuga Falls, Ohio.-The Know Nothings
have been defeated.
Calais, Aaine.-At the municipal election
on the I'd instant, VIM. D. Lawrence, the Know
Nothing candidate, was elected Mayor by a
majority of 2o4. The Know Nothings have
elected their entire ticket.
Portland, Adine.-Mr Neal Dow, the author
of the Maine liquor law, was last week elected
Mayor of the city of Portland. His majority
was only twenty three, ost of more than 3,70O
votes.

vIRTU0Us INDIGNATION!

We have before us the Jefferson (Misssouri)
Inquirer of the 3lst of March, 1855, the day
after the late elections in Kansas. 1t contains
some items of interest in connection with the
subject of these elections. One of these items
relates to certain alleged traducers of one Ma
or Rollins. 1t appears that the persons SO de-
nominated had, at public meeting, as early
as the 18th of March, gotten up for the purpose
of taking such measures as might be thought
practicable, to induce emigrants to hasten to
Kansas and to aid any in doing so who might
not be prepared, at once to GO" denounced
and misrepresented the Hon. James s. Rollins,
as having said that 'any person who would go to
Kansas merely to vote on this question, ought to
be hanged" Major Rollins comes forth himself
also, in card, and pronounces the statement
" an unqualified Ee!" We do not wonder at
the wrath of this gentleman. 1t was vile thing
to lay to his account. But it is noticeable that
nothing is said by the meeting, nor by Major
Rollins, in condemnation of the interference
alluded to. The editor of the Inquirer, to be sure,
condemns the practice just sui ciently to convince
the incredulous of its existence. He says:
awe deprecate, however, the course of policy
adopted by some citizens of Missouri that were
going over and recommending others to, go
over and vote in Kansas, no matter whether
they intended to become citizens of the Terrific
nv or not" 1--WE can never, as the conductor
Of public journal, quietly sanction a wrong
an interference on the part of citizens of Missou-
ri, with the rights and privileges of the citizens
of Kansas" "If the citizens of Missouri have a
right to interfere with the elections in Kansas,
because the result of such election might have
an influence over the people of Missouri, then,
upon the same principle, the citizens of Iowa
or Illinois would have right to come TO this
State, and interfere with our elections" DC
We presume the citizens of the free States Of
this Union now know what squatter sovereign
ty" means. Forty-6ve of their Representative
in the last Congress voted for it, as they affirmed
in voting for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. 49,
