lS. Section IS Of act of Congress, approved
March 3, lS45, provides that contracts for tho
transportation Of the mail shall be let Sin eva,
ry case to the lowest bidder rendering sufficient
guarantees for faithful performance without
ther reference to tho mode Of such transporta-
ton than may be necessary TO provide for tho
due celebrity, certainty and security Of such
transportation Under this law new de,crip-
tiOn of bids has been received. They do net
specify mode Of conveyance, but engage to
take the entire mail each trip with celebrity,
certainty, and security, using the terms Of the
law. These bids are styled, from the man.
ner in which they are designated on the
books Of the department, "star bids" and they
will be construed as providing for the cOnvs.
vance of tho entire mail, however large, and
whatever may be the made necessary to insure
its "ceorty, certainty, and security"
10. In all cases where the lowest grade OF
service is believed to bo sufficient, tho lowest
bid will be accepted, il duly guaranteed, In
preference to "star" or specific bid.
When tho lowest bid is not o star bida1d
specifics either no mode or an inadequate mode
of conveyance, it will not bo accepted, but set
aside for specific bid proposing the neces
saTy service.
When tho bid does not specify mode Of
conveyance; also, when it proposes TO carry
according to tho advertisement" but without
such specification, it will be considered as o
proposal for horseback service.
20. A modification Of hid in any Of It's eSserN
tial terms is tantamount TO o new bid, ,und cannot
be received, so as to interfere with regular
competition, after the last hour set for receiving
bids.
q PostmOsters are to be careful not to cor
tify the sulGciency of gua:aDtors or sureties
without knowing that they are persons Of suti.
cient responsibility; and all bidders, guantOrs,
and suretles nrodlstinctly notified thot, on fai:
lure to enter into or perform the contracts for
the service proposed for in the accertpd bids,
their legal liabilities will be enforced against
them.
y, Present contractors, and persons known
at tho department, must equally with others,
procure guarantors and certificates Of their
sulfcicnCy substantially in the forms above
prescribed. The certificates of suihciency must

As Rev. George A. Chase, President
of the College was returning on Mon.
day last from his father-in-law, Mai
Breckenridge, near Harrison, in his
Buggy and alone, he was accosted on
the narrows, this aide Of New Trenton
at about @ o'clock, by man on foot with
a demand to "hold up" Mr.. Chase
having observed him for some distance
and from actions and appearance sus-
pieioped hismetives, urged up his horse,
when after passing him but few steps
a pistol shot confirmed his suspicious
the bali passing through tho glass in
the back curtain of the Buggy, and
Immediately over the head Of Mr.
Chase. The party was unknown as well
as his motives and purposes further
than may be judged from his acts.
The man is described cas- rather tall
with red face and whiskers, wearing a
cap drawn so far over his face rs TO
avoid distinct view of his features.
FIX Sheriff Robson, and Mr.. Chase,
returned Immediately in search, but
could hear nothing of him or his subse-
quent movements.

Land Hrihe.

Mr.. Howard, of Michigan, men,
Der of the committee Of confcro acc on
the Kansas bill, thus explains how the
land grant provision Of the English bill
amounts to bride:
"The grant l think is about the same
as that offered TO Minnesota, and think
as the gentleman from Indiana SAYS, it
is just the same rs that embraced in the
Crittendcn-M Montgomery bill. So far as
the grant of land is concerned, this bill
and the Crittenden- ontgsmery bin
are identical, but the grant in the lat
ter bill is offered 20 Kansas under any
constitution she may choose to adopt
The grant there was general, and there
fore, it was fair. But this grant hinges
on the adoption of this particular con
sttution, and is therefore, unfair. 1t
may be considered rs a bride. She is
to have these lands if she will adopt
this particular constitution, but the
Crittcnden- Montgomery bill proposed
to give her the land, let her adopt what
constitution she might
IL may be said, sir, that she would
probably get the same grant any way,
whenever she did come in; but ii is n
remarkable fact that, in case she shall
vote down this land grant, this bill goes
OH TO provide regulations touching the
amount of population that shall be nee
cssary before she shall come in under
amy other constitution, but does not in
innate that she can have any land at
all unless she will take il with this par
ticular constitution"

B1y- The Brookville American saws
that Mr.. Withcrs of Cedar Grove will
probably be the Republican candidate
for Senator in that county, and that DR.
Biddinger is talked of for Representa-
tive and Mr.. Fitton for Treasurer.
Rushrdte Republican.
The Republican is mistaken as TO
what we said of Mr.. withcrs. He is q
Democrat, but o Douglas Democrat
The Democracy of this County are won
dcrfully afraid that Mr.. withcrs will run
as an Independent candidate, and arc
using every possible means to prevent
him from so doing. They have gone
so far as TO announce him in the Frank.
lin Democrat as subject to the decision
Of the Democratic Convention" and
too, without his knowledge or consent
Township meetings have been held en-
dorsing him, but with the private un.
derrtanding that he is TO be set aside for
another in tho Convention. Mr.. With
ers is not blind to the workings of the
party, and we are confident possesses too
much sclf-rcspect to suffer his name to
go before the Convention. If he is a
candidate at all, he will no doubt run
independent, in which event we believe
he can be triumphantiy elected.

Our Town.

The daring and successful burglary
committed on the promises of Mr.. Clark
and the dastardly attack Of highway
man on the life of President Chase, du-
ring this and the past week produced
in our midst the most intense excite
ment The meeting at the Court House
and subsequent search by the several
committees there appointed, together
with other very active and efficient
steps taken to ferret out these scoun
drcls and bring them to punishment in
dictate that our people are awake to
their interests and will be found on the
alert at their next visit. Is it possible
that the several burglaries committed
within our town the past few years,
should have been committed by the
hands of entire strangers We think
not, and incline TO the opinion that ac-
completes arc residents in our midst
who mark the locality, time and cir
cumstances, when best for The undcrta :
king, aud share with the nonresident
the spoils obtained. Who, that is famil.
lar with all the facts, believes that King
stole the horse Of Hugh NJ. Davis 1t
is true he was found guilty ard scnten-
ced to tho Penitcntiary, but with those
hos int nal. a.. -
liberate opinion that accomplices resi-
dents here, stole the horse and
King became an accessory after the
TACT, by purchasing the animal knowing
it to bc stolen property. 1t is high
time this den of thieves was detected
and justice mctcd unto them. We
have efficient men, well qualified in our
midst to do this work and we hope that
every good citizen will give countc-
nance to immediate and thorough Efforts
to rid our place Of all spotted sub
jects.
The loss to Mr.. Clark is very severe,
being stripped by the scoundrcls OF his
entire stock in trade, the accumulation
of years of silent, steady effort. What
punishment would be too severe for sucl,
yillainy? When we witness these out.
ragcs on society in our midst, we can
excuse TO some extent the organizations
of Regulators, which have prevailed oil
late, but still calmly recommend on the
part OF our people, strict conformity
to law, should they be so fortunate as
to find out and arrest the guilty parties.

Hurrlarn.


The Post Office and Jcwclry shop OF
Joseph II. Clark, were entered on Satur-
day night last by burglars and stripped
of almost their entire coptents. The
Postage stamps amounting to $3.50
aud all tho letters, including those
distributed in the private boxes, were
stolcn. The loss of Mr.. Clark Is heavy.
The villains were unsparing. They
took abou. thirty good silver and four
gold watches belonging to Mr.. Clark
and twenty four silver and six gold
watches of his Gus toners and almost
tie entire contents of his show case
which contained good stock of gold
pens, rings, breast pins, &c. The loss
from Mr.. Clarks department Is not les,
than $1,000 or $4,000
The Post Office Is kept | the room
occupied by Mr.. Clark, and was entered
ut the back door BY an auger and CHS
sci. II Is supposed to have been done
soon after midnight as persons passing
in tho vicinity heard noises an,
whistling about that time.
There is scarce q doubt but partie,
implicated are residents, or have been
of our town, as the tools used were from
the shop ola townsman and could only
be obtained by persons familiar Will
this locality.
Tho whole matter was so adroitly
managed a. TO divert suspicion from
any one amongst us.
