Bloom, of Nashville, whose arrest for
obtaining goods under false pretences
we noticed few weeks sgo, was brought
before Judge Storer, last week on writ
of Ha6eas Corpus. After hearing the
Judge remanded..him to prison. The
Judge said:
Although the remedy resorted to was
u hard one; one that he Judge Storer),
utterly repudiated-the taking ofa man $
body-yet sometimes it may be neces-
sary for the purpose of justice. Where
a clear case was made out in point OF
law of fraudulent contract, the Code
allows the asrest Of the body; and how
ever hard il might be, the Court could
not prevent the operation of this law.
The motion should be dismissed and the
party remanded to Gust ody. e

Er We wish to say. once for all.
to the gentlemen in Fayette county.
who enquire Of us concerning the
Iowa Land Agency by which they
sent large amounts Of gold TO Iowa.
that We know nothing about the bust
ness Of that agent. We have been in
formed that the gold was invested in
Land Warrants, before the land off,
ces were closed. and can't be changed
back again. except at sacrifice, nor
can the Warrants be used, until the
Railroad gets its share OF the land.
We give no credit to the rumors that
the agent is likely to become insolvent.
We think them improbable, unless the
Iowa land bubble should explode
sooner than we think II will. We
know nothing about the laws holding
an agent responsible for damages for
delaying. by the way, several weeks,
ill the Land Offices were closed, nor
whether the Agent is responsible Cor

PEELED to return the money. or wheth-

think that would be extremely hard to

would rather have the money Than
the land. The gentlemen referred to
may rely upon whatever justice the
lap in the case will afford. II they
want to know what that is, they mus,

The returns from States which chose
Legislatures At the late election are now
sufficiently full to Indicate their bearings
on the United States Senate. In the
Free States, the following are the pros
poets;
Maine chooses another Republican in
the place Of Hannibal HamIin, who
has been elected Governor.
Massachusetts is likely to re-elect
Charles Sumner, should his health ena-
bic him to serve.
Rhode Island elects . Republican in
place Of Charles T. James, who was ell
ected six years ago, as q Ttriff Demo-
crat.
Connecticut has already chosen Re-
publican senator to take the place Of
Isaac Tousey, Democrat.
New York will elect a'Republican in
place Of Hamilton Fish.
Pennsylvania REFLECTS Mr., Broadhead,
or some other apostle Of what passes
for Democracy.
New Jersey will again choose Mr..
Thompson, or another latter..day Demo-
crat Of the same school.
Michigan elects Republican in the
place of 1.-THE great Michiganders' y: whom
the people have chosen. by nearly twen-
ty thousand majority, to retire to the
shades of private life.
Indiana has two Senators to choose,
but the Republicans having a majority
in the Senate, may possibly refuse to 60
into joint ballot, and thus postpone the
election for two years. Like other edge
tools. political maneuvers work both
ways.
California has also two vacancies, and
the prospects there may be learned by
the next steamer.
Wisconsin elects Republican. in the
place Of Dodge, Democrat. In the
Slave States no changes occur that viii
affect the great issue Of the day. A gair
Of four Senators, with possibility o.
one or two more from California, shows
that something substantial has beer
achieved by the Republican party.

W Few men ever passed through so
bitter and earnest canvass, as that
which has just terminated, with so little
of personal obloquy or impeachment as
james Buchanan Gin. Eng.
This is we'll deserved but uninten-
tional compliment to the Republicans.
They have soorned to deal in low perso-
nalities while conducting canvass in
voIving such vital principles. They
had enough to say against the measures
of Mr.. Buchanan, to let the man alone,
except by an occasional good-naturcd
squib at his bachelorism, or something
Of that kind. On the other hand, the
supporters of Mr.. Buchanan failed to
discuss measures, and descended to the
vilcsf personal abuse,--even to calling
Fremonrs mother an adultress, aud
Fremont a bastard. The people will
mark this.

The Maioritics.

We shall give the official vote of this
State by counties, for Governor and
President, as'soon asst. can be obtained
and the full vote Of each State for Pre-
sidcnt- But, as some are impatient to
learn the result, we would say, in round
numbers, from the information received,
that Buchanan's majority over Fremont
in Indiana is not far from $1,000. Fill
more's vote is about $4,000, leaving Bu-
chanan in a minority. We can spea k
more definitely next week. In the Uni
ted States. Buchanan's popular vote is
only about $4,000 over Fremont, and
lacks ut least 100000 Of majority over
Fremont and Fillmore. Such at least
is the appearance Of things now. Will
lard's majority in Indiana is 6,0ls.

FOR PRESIDENT IN 1880,
J. G.. FREMONT.
FOR vrcE-pRxsDxDr
VIM. L. DAYTON
Milton Gregg on the Republican
Platform.

We are happy 10 announce tnat our
friend Gregg. who has been the princi-
pal support Of Fillmorism in Indiana,
has announced himself decided Re-
publican in principle. We hoped. all
along. that his seeming antagonism 10
Republicanism was more from a mis-
understanding ofiss positions and pur-
poses. than from hostility to them
We knew indeed that no was opposed
to the extension Of slavery over free
territory. No man. two years ago did
better service in the anti Nebraska
cause than he. We are happy to learn
that he is not alienated from the prin-
ciples which he then so earnestly and
successfully defended. The following
is declaration OF his faith:
"rhe true policy, and indeed the
only policy that can or ought TO sue
coed In this country. is to respect the
rights Of others, while we rigidly
maintain our own. Upon this basis
We arc ready to fight Locofoeoism,
Nebraskaism. and every other infer
nal ism that is at war with the best in
terests ~ the country. so long as we
are able 10 raise our voice, or WELD a
pen. But we can join in no crusade
against the compromises Of the Con-
stitulion. in order to abridge the rights
of the South. or cripple the institution
Of slavery where Il already exists I'M
er color Of law"
This is genuine Republicanism. as
we understand il. We can endorse no
other kind. We shall as earnestly
and faithfully 'respect the rights OF
others-the compromises Of the Con
stitution" as we shall maintain Eour
own. No Republican. that We know
OF. wishes to "cripple the institution
Of slavery where Il already exists un-
der color Of law," except In Kansas.
Against slavery In Kansas. or any
other territory "Consecrated to free
bonn by the Missouri Compromise or
otherwise" we shall wage an eternal
war. No "Color Of law" now OF here
after shall ever make US recognize
the right to hold slaves in Kansas any
more than we would recognize a right
to property in a stolen horse. though
Il may have passed through a hundred
hands. That land belongs to freedom
and to freemon, by the most binding
Of Compromises" Even after the re-
moval Of the prohibition. had freedom
had a fair chance. II would yet be free.
Hence no 'color Of law" shall ev-
or make US respect the rights Of slave
holders there. But in slave states we
shall, and so do all Republicans.
Long before another presidential can
vass, the true position Of the Republi-
can party will be understood, and
troops Of friends viii flock around II,
Meanwhile. let US look after the inter.
ests Of our own state, Let US amend
our constitution so as to prevent alien.
suffrage. and secure prohibitory law,
and we will lop off from the party in
power 10000 votes.

Dunning.

Our, exchanges, OF both parties, are
dunning the late candidates for their fees
for announcing their names, and print
ing their tickets. Why don't they ad-
opt our rule--announce no name ex-
cept on advance payment. or for such
persons as do not need dunnlngl Our
candidates all paid in advance, except
such as we can trust to pay without
dunning. Let printers adopt the advance
system, or publish delinquent candidates,
just as they would anybody else who
negIects to pay;an this system OF dun
ming would at once be at an end. We
think man lie bad enough who will sub
scribe for q paper and not pay, but the
man who will run for ofIice, and not pay
fer his tickets, should be published as
tho meanest kind Of man. We have
adopted this rule, and recommend II to
our editorial brethren. We don't ask a
man to como to town. just TO pay us,
hence we wait, but after due delay we
get up black list.

The GERMANs.-In the great battle
which has just been fought for free
dom, nobly did the Germans Of our
county do their. duty. They have
proved themselvesYto be the votaries
Of liberty, and the enemies of oppres
sion and slavery. They were among
the most earnest and determined men
on the day Of election, doing all in
their power to advance the cause OF
Fremont and Freedom. All honor to
the gallant and patriotic Germans OF
10 Daviess county, who have so nobly
upheld the banner Of liberty.-Galsna

40 The whole foreign vote-Irish
and German. has been cast for Blu
chanan. There may have been here
and there some scattering German
votes given for Fremont. In this city
and in one or two Of Western States,
this has probably been the case:-but
on the whole we do not believe that
one tenth part Of the German vote has
been given to the Republican ticket.
As for the Irish they have gone in q
drove,--as they always do go,---for
the regular Democratic ticket. They
will probably never do anything else,
as long as they remain Irish.-and 1t
takes at least two generations to con-
vert them into Americans.--New York
Times.
In this county, the educated and
more intelligent Germans voted for
Fremont. Those who understand but
little English. and are thus liable to be
duped by demagogues, voted for Blu
chanan, though we believe, in heart,
they oppose slavery extension. One
remedy to this is to amend the Consti-
tuition so as to let none but Americans
we mean those who were born here
or who have been NATURAL zed. vote
To this. nearly every intelligent for
eigner heartily agrees. GAS for the
Irish" in this county, they nearly all
voted for Fremont. They are most
ly intelligent protestants, and enter
heartily in the contest against slavery.
1t is only the Catholic lrish-thc ig-
norant. drunken. wandering Irish who
cannot be Americanized in less than
two generations. We have none of
them,

The last Corn and Cob Mill "a Little
