the remark was made by democrat; the
greater portion of them left the stand, when
Judge STUART commenced speaking and
cut shillelahs and promenaded in front of
their banner. The word ran through the
crowd that the Irish were going to take the
banner at all hazards; some of our citizens
went to the Irish and asked them if they
had said anything about taking it down.
They said they had not even thought of
such thing. The fusions acted very in
decorously while the JUDGE was speaking;
after the meeting closed, the Plymouth
folks left for home, the Irish assembled at
grocery.
The Aetna Green delegation and some
others, came along soon after, hurrahinG
for Fremont, and Free men; the Irish hur-
rahed for Buchanan; one of the drivers
then commenced striking the Irish with
his whip, when the melee commenced in
earnest Several on both sides were pretty
badly hurt; some say that two lrlshmen
were killed; we talked with the oversecr of
the Rail Road hands few days after the
difficulty, and he says that none of them
were killed, to his knowledge. From the
most reliable information we can get, the
foregoing statement is substantially cor
rect. The fusions must be hard Up
when they get up a row and charge it upon
the democrats. They will not make any
thing in the operation in this county. There
are great many know nothings in Bour-
bon and vicinity, and If they can succeed
in driving TIE Irish away, or intimidate
them so they will not go to the polls, and
get the impression made throughout this
Congressional district that Judge SruART's
remarks on the Louisville Riot was the
cause of the difficulty, their object will be
accomplished.

Bourbon Riot.

When we heard of the dis@raceful scenes
which were acted out, in the yillaee of
Bourbon, the evening that Judge Stuart
and Mr. CoLFAx had closed their speeches,
We thought, for the credit Of the county,
we would merely allude to the affair and
let it pass, hoping that the unpleasant feel
ings which had been cngendered would
subside, and the actors would repent for
their riotous conduct and ''go and sin no
more
The fusion papers in all the adjoining
counties, have had something to say on
the subject. They and their correspond
dents, without single exception, charge
the democratic party with the whole diff
Guilty, and that it was prcmeditated; and
they further say that the freemen wee

Were it not that silence on our part wo ID
be construed, by those who are not ac-
Quainted with the circumstances, as ac-
qucscing in the reports which have alrca
dy been published, we would still remain
silent; but when we see such an effort as is
being made by the fusion presses to saddle
the difficulty on 10 the democratic party, 1t
becomes necessary.for us to put the saddle
on the right horse. We were not at the
meeting, consequently are dependent on
OH others for our information. We have con-
versed with citizens of Bounfek and many
of our own citizens who we're there, and

Circular to School Examiners.

GESTLEMEN:-At the last meeting of the
State Teachers Association of Indiana, it
was resolved to ask your aid in an effort to
extend the circulation of the Indiana School
Journal, upon the following plan:
When teacher presents himself for ex-
animation. if he does not take the Journal
that you propose 10 him that if he will do
SO, and pay you the subscription price,
($I. you will rcmi. Your fees for exami-
alton. Whenever four or more teachers
shall have paid for the Journal, YOU Will be
entitled to one for your own use free. And
if you have already taken and paid for it,
YOU are authorized to retain one dollar out
of the amount thus collected, III lieu of the
money sent for your own copy All names
and accompanying funds to be forwarded
to Geo b. Stone, Esq, Resident Editor.
indianapolis.
The plan thus proposes making all the
School Examiners in the State agents for
the Journal.
1t is quite unnecessary here, gentlemen,
to urge the value of well conducted Jour
nal TO the educational interests of our State
Interests to which You arc officially, and
we trust in feeling, too, allied. 1t is of
prime Importance that al of our teachers
become readers of the journal; and we know
of no means by which they can so certain
ly be made thus, as through the plan pro-
posed And though the measure involves
slight pccuniary sacrifice, yet we are en-
boldened TO prefer the request, both from
the fact that the public veal demand it, and
also because the mere pecuniary emolu-
ment could have formed no part of the mo-
lives prompting you to accept the office.
1t may BE- proper to add here, that the
Journal is source of pecuniary benefit to
20 one except he printers. The editors
receive nothing for their services; and de-
sire nothing; their highest aim being to
make the journal entirely worthy Of the i'm
perishablc interests which it advocates.
Trusting, gentlemen, that you will meet
our wishes III this respect, and thus confer
It great favor upon the cause that YOU and
We are endeavoring to promote.

by good men, who wish peace. law and or
