The people of Logansport held meeting
last Saturday, on the subject of closing the
canal by the Trustees The discussion was
animated, and among others who addressed
the assembly was Judge Stuart After
stating that he was opposed to any action
by the meeting, which should propose any
legislation, he said s 81
If the bondholderr wanted farther legisla-
ton, why did they not authorize the Trus-
tees to state distinctly what they wanted,
and why they wanted it; and release the
State from any Implied liability which such
legislation might possibly involve? 2 Why
was not this done Simply because the
Trustees, and the bondholders, and their
agents, did not want legislation for any
honest purpose. The whole thing was a
scheme to plumber the State. Legislation,
such as was contemplated in the resolution,
was the entering wedge. An attempt to
cut off the canal below Terre Haute would
array one end of the canal against the other

Chillicothe, Ohio, on Thursday last Wal
lace, Godfrey, and another young man were
riding along Paint street, and met two
women OF loose character, one of whom
started to get into the buggy and told Wal
lace TO make his companions get out. God
frey got out and made some remark about
the character of the women, when the one
who had seated herself in the buggy, told
Wallace to shoot the son of a b---h."
Wallace got out of the buggy, drew his
pistol, placed it at Godtrey's breast and fired
Godfrey fell dead-the ball having passed
through his heart aG ga. 90 LIS
Wallace and the woman were both ar
rested, and the pistol was found on the per-
son of the woman.

CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvENTIoH.-TheH House
of Representatives of the Illinois Legisla-

last, for the calling of Convention for
framing a new Constitution. The resolu-

election Nov 1860, the people will vote
for or against the proposition, which, if car
ried, will compel the next Legislature to

BARGAIN AND CoRRUPrIoN Anthony
of Floyd county, who had been denounced
by the New Albany Tribune for boiling in
the election of State officers, makes a sharp
retort upon his assailants, and says he voted
every time with the opposition, e until hon
or and decency' forced him q to decline
further participation in contest in which
it was, painfully evident we were all be-
trayed into the hands of the enemy, and
responsible offices bargained off to the
best bidder, without regard to honesty or
qualification" He concludes thus: 50
That may not be misunderstood, ! make.
the charge thai the following trade was
made, to wit: -
81 piFliat the friends of the Tribune were to
vote for the nominee of the Democratic par
ty throughout, except John D. Defrees, and
thereby secure their election, a part of the
consideration for which was that the Tri-
Buse was to share the profits of the public
printing with Col. Walker, the Democratic
candidate YfeI -Et1M a.
And i further charge that by this bar
gain the Republicans and Americans were
betrayed and defeated, and that the Tribune
does by virtue of the contract, receive a
part. of the printing as its portion of the
spoils.
1t was the discovery of this pretty scheme
that caused me to ''bolt," as you are pleased
to term it; and plead it in justification of
my conduct. And it was from supposed
participation in this "dirty mess that
John ID. Defrees was abandoned by his
friends and left to the tender. mercy of
the enemy, .17..5 ,+~4
- Here is something that requires explana-
ton. 1t is the duty of the accused to speak
out. IT a1 ol rtt

Eight. Neither party meant to fight. and
nobody expected to see them fight, except
on paper.
Fitch has rather the advantage, SO far as
any exists, for no thorough going duellist
could accept the explanations SO equivocal as
those which he rendered to Mr.. Douglas
and the haste with which he lays the cor
respondence before the public, shows con-
scientiousness of having the best of the
contest This, however, does not prove
Fitch's bravery. He must do something
else to demonstrate personal courage than
merely back down SO eyasive foe as Mr..

outlast the patience of all the duellists in
the Senate, however perseveringly they may
urge him to an engagement. &
