May last, $500 from the Farmers Bank
of Franklin, Ind, on forged draft, was
arrested in New York on an affidavit made

Of some informality in the papers, Gov.
King refused to recognize the requisition
of Gov. Willard, but Branham persuaded
Taylor to accompany him back to Indiana.
Upon arriving at Frankfort he succeeded
in compromising the affair with the officers
of the Bank and was permitted to go at

New Railroad Project.

Gov. Matteson and his associates we arc
informed, contemplate the immediate con-
struction of railroad from Alton to st.
Louis, as a continuation of the Chicago
and Alton Railroad. Hitherto they have
been dependent upon the st Louis and
Terrc Haute Road, for railroad facilities
between Alton and this city. The accom-
modations on that roal however, do not
meet the acquisitions of the interests of the
Chicago and Alton road, which. in fact,
should be independent Throughout, from
Chicago to st. Louis, of all other roads,
or, at least, in no respect subordinaiy to
ony other Missouri Republican.

The Bloomington RsPu5iican says that
Mr.. vansickle, an old man who was beat
en- by the Regulators" short time pre-
vious to the death of Bingham. has died in
consequence ofthc injuries he then received
He never recovered after the lynching, but
getting able to go about removed to Nor
gan County and there died.
The trial of these miscreants which has
been progressing in Monroe County for
some days before Justice of the Peace,
has Just ended. as we learn from the Re
pubii,an. Ofthe character of the evidence
for the defence, the Republican furnishes
the following significant illustration.
Several of the defendants introduced
members of their own families witnesses, as
some of them small children, for the pur-
pose Of proving they were at home at the
tino of the murder. Some of the children,
in their simplicity, when they were asked
by the counsel for the State, if their friends
had not told them what to.awcar, answer
ed that they had.
\ good many of these witnesses, we are
told, refused to testify in the case of the
State against the Regulators for the whip
ping of Mr.. Vansickle. on the ground that
they could not without eliminating them
selves.
Three Of the accused, the two Morgans
and Rooms. were held to be guilty of muir
der in the second degree by the Justice, and
remandcd to Jail in default of $4,000 bail
each. Rainbolt was then put upon trial,
and an alibi so far established that the
justice discharged him.
So far from being intimidatcd by these
proceedings the Regulators have already
been threatening citizens who have cx-
pressed opinions against them. The Re
paJiicon says:
1t was hoped that the finding of those
three guilty would check the career of the
Regulators at least for time but the rock
less villains few days afterwards, as we
are credibly informed, menaced one oe our
best citizens for ex pressing an unfavorable
opinion of regulating, and gave another
peaccable inotfensive citizen notice inviting
him to leave the county in three DAYS,
knowing one member of his family to be
IN such q situation as to render a removal
improper. In the latter case there being
no other motive but to rob the man Of his
farm, as is supposed.
n second meeting of the citizens Of the
vicinity where the murder was committed
has been held to consult as to these recent
threats. They who are threatened will
probably resort to peace warrants and other
legal remedies first, and il they should still
fail, ofcourse will prepare for self-defence.
This certainly exhibits very deplorablc
condition oil things. When citizens are
afraid to execute justice, or speak the truth
of notorious villainies, there would be no
great harm in giving up the forms OF gov
eminent, and going back to the good old
plan that Wordsworth speaks Of in his
elegy on Rob Roy. when the strongest
ruled and owncl oil that the rest possess

Affecting Incident.

West:
We had peculiar and affecting scene
in the cars, which cast a deep sadness over
the whole day At Michigan city, where
we changed cars, we observed them moving
sick girl. The party consisted ola broth
er of about twenty years, sister of about
sixteen, and mother. The invalid APP
peared about twenty-five, very emaciated,
sxcwith those large lustrous eyes SO COM
mon in her disease, consumption, and which
fascinated while it panied US to look upon
her. The tenderness and devotion Of her
people were really beautiful. After We
had gone some fifty miles while she was re-
clining on her mothers breast, who was
gently and carefully smoothing her hair.
she suddenly raised herself and fell back
dead. Then followed such scene of wild
and frantic grief, mingled with the noise of
the rushing cars, the scream of the locomo-
tive, and the confusion of the passengers,
that no power of mine can describe; and
this was continued for so miles or more
We old tough hearts founllthere was one
little spot not quite hardened.
This lady died on the cars of the New

spoke of the ''Ptug Ugly scoundrels, - who
let these Western Lights go to the polls,

SPECIAL CoETRAcTa.-We are informed that
a bill will be brought before the Legislature
providing for the payment Of any rate of in
terest on money, that may be agreed on by the
borrower and lender. 1t is commended by the
friends Of the measure that the effect will be
to reduce the rate of interest on paper for short
dates and, that hereafter no good business man
will be compelled To pay one or two per cent
q month, as is now often the case. The
Pennsylvania Legislature has passed law
Legali2ing contracts of this kind, and some
gentlemen are of the opinion that the effect will
be to attract capital from our state, unless our
Legislature pass an act Of the same kind. This
is a matter in which our people are interested
and we therefore call attention to it. Ii may
be good policy in men to occasionally pay more
than six per cent. for money, but those who
submit TO heavy shares, month after month,
generally fail. The Spectator may pay ton,
fifteen or twenty per cent, for money, rs he is
now doing in some parts Of the west, but the
mechanic, the farmer, or even the merchant, in
this section of the country, can not long stand
any such exorbitant rates. But little over six
per cent can be realized by farming and as this
pursuit is the basis on which all others rest, it
seems that amount should DO adhered 10 as the
legal standard for permanent loans
