ency 10 Judge Smith. It must be source
of chagrin to the intelligent voters Of the
wealthy counties of that Senatorial Dis
trict, to know that they have had an iguo-
ramus and dolt imposed upon them by the
agency Of packed convention; but it must
be still more humiliating to know that be is

Mr. CARLIIE Business of Importance
has brought me 10 this dilapidsted metropo-
lis, thu seat of justice for the county of Per-
", and remembering that you once resided
within the limits of its jurisdiction, have
thought few lines would not be uninter-
esting to you whether they will be to your
numerous readers, is a question for yon to
decide Rome, just now, independent of its
Importance as the seat Of justice, is place
of some interest, being the subject of recent
legislation, wherein law with general pro-
visions was made Tor special purpose; and
that most worthy one, should think, il
being to 'fmoYe the Court House TO the
growing town of Cannelton, recently your
place of residence. The work should be
lone at once, or the old Court House will
produce calamity by crnmbling down on
The head Of His Honor, the Judge, and all
the people of the town, as they all seem to
have nothing else to do hut TO hang around
it. Since have been here, the remark has
often been made, that the citizens of the
town will starve when the Courts cease to
hold their sessions here, so entirely depend
ent have they all become upon the crumbs
which fall from the fingers of the county
officers and their victims. The appearance
Of the town is wretched in the extreme
With one or two exceptions, have not
seen house of half-civilized respectability.
The hotels look as though they had been
deposited in their respective localities by a
tornado. Everything wears the appearance
OF misery; the whole energy of the people
being expended in manufacturing legal
traps and bubbles by which extra taxes and
costs are collected, shaving county orders,
and otherwise enriching themselves at the
expense OF the dear people. --
When business again calls us to the coun-
~ seat OF Perry, hope it viii be some place
where stranger can get n room for himself
and not be compelled to sleeper rather TO
be eat up-with two in a bed am in
formed that this term Of Judge DeBruler's
Court IS of more than usual interest, some
OF the cases adordng rare fun TO lawyers
and material for any amount OF wonderful

her of lawyers in attendance is also unusu-
III Capt. Rosseau, of Louisville, being
among the number; Judge Pitcher is also
in attendance. Judge Smith, of Yincennes,
