A cure for Kansas Troubles.

In a short time the Bill of Mr.. DOUGLAS
providing for holding legal elections in Kan
sas will pass the Senate, and we have no
doubt that it viii receive early attention and
dispatch in the House, and that it will also
pass that body. Should this be done, there
will be.a regularly and legally constituted
Convention held for the purpose of framing
their State Constitution in accordance with
the wishes and views Of the actual settlers Of
the Territory. The Bill carefully provides
for a fair vote of the legal voters, and every
precaution will be taken TO prevent outside
interference and fraudulent voting at the
election. No " border rufians'' from Missouri
or from Massachusetts, will be allowed to
control or interfere with the rights Of the
people at the polls. If need be, the strong
arm Of military power will be there to sup
press improperly organized bands from in
timidating or molesting the voters in the ex-
srcise Of their rightful sovereignty. When
this election shall have been held, and when
the real people of Kansas speak, their voice
will be needed by the National Congress, and
Kansas will take Ler place as one of the
States Of the C~onfederacy with a Constitu-
ton in accordance with the will and the
wishes of those who expect to live under il
and to enjoy its protection.

Two weeks from next Monday, the Ma
tional Democratic party will meet in Cincin-
natl, for the purpose of selecting candidates
for President and Vice-President of the Uni
ted States. Every State in the Union will
be represented in that Convention; and who
ever the candidates may be, they will be
supported by the Democrats of every State,
North, South, East and West.
Should Indiana's ~faverite son, jesse D..
Bright, persist in withholding his name as a
candidate before the Convention, we hope
Stephen A. Douglas will be selected. We
have conversed with many Democrats in In
diana, and we have yet to find ONE who could
not cordially support the "Little Giant He
is a host within himself, and has done harder
fighting for liberal principles, and moro of il,
than any other man in the Union, and in
every conquest he has come out more than
conqueror. Not only so; but he embodies all
the principles contended for by the Demo
cratic party.
We repeat, Mr. Bright is cmphaticaily our
first choice, and next to him Stephen A.
Douglas. We regard the latter as the man
for the times. He is one of the people, is
identified with the great North-W est, COM
bines talents of the highest order, with an
iron will and dauntless boldness, that makes
him a tower Of strength that would bear
down all opposition. Considering tho hith-
erto unheard of abuse that has been heaped
upon Mr.. Douglas, for his advocacy of the
great principle of popular sovereignty, how
it would rejoice the heart of Democracy to
see him occupying the Presidential chair Of
this great hation.-Bcone County Pioneer.

The Kansas Lie Mill in Operation

AS we some time since predicted, the Kan
sas Congressional Committee is flooding the
country with the trash which it has had
sworn to in Kansas. Every suggestion which
that Committee can make and reduce to wri-
ting, can be sworn to without any trouble or
difficulty, by their ~co7onists and willing wit
nesses. If that Committee had remained at
Washington and prepared a ream of afi-
davits, containing a thousand charges of
wrong doing on their opponents in Kansas,
they would have had them all sworn to by
their miserable Abolition witnesses-accord-
ing to order, in lots to suit customers. 1t
was a great wrong to create such a Commit
tee, a great abuse of the power of the House
of Representatives, and it will rebound to
their everlasting disgrace. No man will be-
lieve this manufactured testimony, no person
but a diseased partizan will be effected by its
pretended disclosures, nor will the country
recognize it as impartial or worthy of con-
sideration.
It seems to be the only resources of relief
10 the Abolitionists, to be able to find some
thing in Kansas, over which to set up a cry
and to invoke sympathy, no matter how
ridiculous, how improbable, how untrue the
statement may be, they assume to swallow
the dose and to be suffering a thousand tor
lures over the terrible fate Of their Kansas
brethren. So stale, so revolving and servile
have these pitiful falsehoods become, that
they fail to elicit any particular attention, and
are looked for as certainly, and as regularly,
as the changes of the moon.

George G.. Dunn.

We learn from the Bloomington Netos-
Letter, that GEORGE G. Dunn, M. c., has been
recently spending several days at Blooming
ton, in consultation with his political friends.
His chief advisers are the members Of the
"secret order" He is understood as being
a candidate for reelection. His health is
improving, and it is probable he will soon
return to Washington.
d 1t is conceded that Mr.. DUNN is, ia some
respects, a man of marked ability, his talents,
however, being of apeculiar order. In dis
putes, off-hand discussions, and in severe sar-
castle remarks, he is at home, and INDUCES
with striking effect, az GREELEY and the
Black Republicans at Washington can bear
testimony.
Should he become a candidate again, he
will find himself in a position that will re-
quire all Of his best efforts to succeed. His
supporters who elected him the last time are
not pleased with his course, and many Of
them look upon him as an impracticable
man, not suited to their views and feelings.
1t Is almost certain that Judge HUGHES will
be the Democratic candidate in opposition to
Mr.. DUNN, and should such be the case,
there can be but little doubt he will be
elected. The republication of Judge HUGHES
are of the highest order, and his talents
energy, and industry. just such as are re.
quirec to cope with Mr.. DUNN. The Democ-
raey viii cling to Judge HUGHES, and give
him an undivided support, whilo Mr.. DUss
will find his old friends lukewarm and dis.
affected. We should be pleased to see the
race, having full confidence in the cause, and
in Judge HUGHES as the able defender ant
champion of that cause.

SATURDAY MORNING. MAY II. 1856.
Buchanan and Douglas.

AS heday approaches for the meeting OF
the Cincinnati Convention, demonstration
are being made of the strength of the two
gentlemen above named. One good and
wise rule of action seems to pervade the
minds Of the friends of each candidate. Nc
words Of denunciation or of detrsction Is ur-
ged or uttered by any speaker or writer
against the fair fame and high pretensions OF
the rivals. The friends Of DOUGLAS are sat
is6ed with his standing, his record, his ser
vices and his qualifications. The friends OF
BUCHANAN are equally complacent and con-
tent themselves with proclaiming his high
merits. his great experience. and his unques-
tionabls capacity. This is as it should be,
and leaves all Of their friends in good con-
dition to mako a hearty unity on the nomi-
nee. Indiana is sound to the core, and ready
to do justice to every true Democrat whose
name may be presented to the Convention.

Humanity In Hardin County.

An extraordinary trial was held on We'd
nesday last before Judge Vertress, of the
County Court, in the course of which some
startling facts were elected, indicating a de-
gree OF inhumanity and cruelty revolving to
the moral sense of mankind.
A man by the name of Hubbard, a black
smith, living in the Red Mill precinct in
this county, has been married three times
having a family by each wife. By a SYSTEM
attic course of ill-treatment on the part of the
third wife, the children felt compelled to
leave the parental roof. A daughter of the
second, however, aged about Ii years, has
lived at home until within a couple of years
back /; and it is with more particular refer
ence to her that the developments were made
on the trial.
For the last two years the girl has sought
and obtained refuge among her relatives and
friends in the neighborhood. During alargc
portion of that time she has been in i'll health,
subject to constant dyspepsia and to occa-
sional commissions. Some three months since
she was placed in the family of DIR. Combs,
where she could receive medical attention.
1t was while with DR.. Combs family that the
circumstance occurred which led to the trial
and the developments upon it, she having
vomited up hirty-three pins of various sizes
and Jfve needles having issued frcm her left
side
So astounding an occurrence could not fail
to produce excitement, aud the statement Of
the girl, that her step-mother, aided by an
| other woman, had at different times thrown
her down, and compelled her to swallow
pins and needles, in the connection with the
fact, of which the whole neighborhood wa;
aware, Of the general i'll treatment to which
she had been subjected by the step-mother
produced a state Of feeling that determined
the neighbors that the child should not b.
returned to her unnatural home. Applica.
ton was made by the father for a baJeas cor.
pus. The evidence on the trial fully sus
tanned the general charge of inhumanity, and
the testimony of the girl impressed all who
heard it with its truth, and awakened tn,
deepest sympathy for her condition and gen
eral detestation of the conduct of the unnat
ural step-mother. We believe if the girl haC
been remanded back the crowd would hav,
interfered to prevent it. DIR. Combs an,
others testified as to tho vomiting of tn
pins and the issuing of the needles from tn
side, and several of the neighbors as to threat
made by both the father and the step
mother.
The Court determined, with the father
consent-he being unable to give %securit,
for the better treatment Of the child-tha
she should remain with Mr.. Williams-h
agreeing to treat her humanely, to school hel
and adopt her as one of his own family

A SAD ScENE.-One of the saddest cases
which we have witnessed for many a day
was that of Margaret Moran, convicted in
the Police Court, on Saturday afternoon, for
stealing a skein of yarn worth a shilling
She is an old lady, who has seen the violets
blow ffty-eight times. Her hair is bleached
by time, and her limbs bent and feeble
She cried like a child when she was brought
into the courtroom, and firmly protested hel
innocence-but the evidence against her wa:
conclusive, and Justice Drullard could dc
nothing less than punish her by a fine
though, we are sure, he would gladly have
done otherwise.
just before the sentence was passed {;
young man, of eighteen years, came into the
courtroom, and approaching the old lady,
asked "What is the matter wild, YEP" Sh,
could only reply with sobs and tears. The
Justice then pronounced sentence upon her
and the boy thrusting his fingers into hi
vest pocket drew forth the required sum
paid the fne-the big tears chasing each
other down his cheeks the while-and ther
taking his mother by the arm, led her from
the courtroom, with a look that seemed t.
say, "Guilty or not guilty, you are my
mother" That boy will make a good aid
useful man, unless we are greatly mistaken

MEssRs. EDITORS considerable having
been said and written of late on the attempt
to draw the trade of Indiana to Louisville,
and other cities outside OF Indiana, 1t became
apparent to the merchants Of those rival cities
that it would be necessary foE them to fur
nish the merchants of Indiana with reasons
why they should buy in the particular local
tiles whose claims are advocated. Accord
ingly, we find the papers from each ofthese
rival cities filled with advertisements and
puffs, which is all proper enough, and shows
4 spirit on the part Of the merchants of those
cities worthy Of imitation, aud one that the
merchants Of Indianapolis might improve on,
by encouraging our papers, that a regular and
correct daily wholesale quotation might be
given to the public. This is impossible I'M
less there is a special reporter for that bust
ness, attached to each paper in the city, or
one emploved jointly by the Sentinel and
Journal. Now, this cannot be afforded unless
the merchants of the city will step forward
and assist them therein. And even, if re-
ouired, the merchants should meet and agree
to pay the salary OF such q reporter.
70 show the necessity of our wholesale
prices being correctly quoted, | would draw
a comparison between the wholesale prices
of indianapolis and a city in another State,
which is working hard to get the trade of In
DIANA allude to Cleveland. From that
city 1 received a paper, CHE Musical Harp
and Wholesale AdUertiser,) on Saturday, the
10th inst, with a leader therein, showing the
advantages Of Cleveland as a market to buy
groceries in, over ether cities in the West,
and on the opposite page of the paper appears
a list of wholesale prices, which / copy ex-
act, placing in juxtaposition the Indianapolis
prices, so that Indiana merchants, (even
those who live closer to Cleveland than to
Indianapolis may see where it is to their
advantage to trade. L will remark before
giving the prices that there is only one article
the Cleveland merchants sell lower than we
do here, and that is white fish; while the ma.
jority of heavy articles we sell much lower
than they do, though we are mere West, and
freight costs us more than it does the mer.
| chants of Cleveland. This proves one OF
two things, either that the indianapolis mer-
chants are closer buyers, or are willing to sell
at less profits than our Cleveland neighbors
| But to the prices, here they are, side by side;
merchants of Indiana, look well to the diff.
ference in the two markets
