NEWSPAPER DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme Court
of Indiana has made a decision which has an
important bearing upon the interests of the
newspaper press. A controversy existed rela-
tive to charge for advertising between the
Commissioners Of Hamilton County and the
Patriot newspaper. 1t was held by the Judge
that "the published terms of newspapers con-
stitute contract. If work is given to news
paper publishers, without special contract
contravening the published terms, the publish
or can charge and receive according to the terms
so published. 1t is not necessary to prove what
the work cost or was worth; the publishers have
right to fix the value of their columns, and if
SO fixed no other question need be asked. but
the price thus charged can be recovered"

CALIFoRNA.-The anti-Lecompton demo-
Gratis Of California, headed by Senator Broder-
lex, are fighting the slave trade-reyiving de-
mocracy with yigor that promises success
The gallant Senator is training regularly for the
leadership of the whole opposition, for which
post his talents and courage well qualify him.
He is, in brief, assuming the position that Mr.
Douglas might have had, and from which he
could have "crushcd out" the Buchanan democ-
racy with the utmost CASE but the Illinoisan
happens to be deficient in the very quality nee
essary for leadership, courage. The admins
tration was his quadrateral, and he dared not
assail it, after he had driven its supporters over
the Minrio. Col. Broderick is made of better
stuff, and under his lead California may be ere
deemed" as they say Oregon has been. Mat
tiers are certainly looking dark for the demo-
Gratis, who are taking the first steps towards be-
coming very "black republicans" indeed.

The GREEN MOUNTAIN MORGAN HoRsH.-
This celebrated stallion, so well known in Yer
mont and Massachusetts, and now owned by n
company at Williamstown, has been engaged
for the service of Gov. Banks at the Massachu-
sets Encampment at Concord, in September
We remember seeing this horse rode on parade
about sixteen years since, when his pre-eminent
qualities as parade horse excited the enthusi-
astic admiration of every beholder. From that
day to this and he is thirty years old, he has
maintained his high position without rival,
unapproachable. Gov. Seward remarked to
us at the State Fair at Rutland, in 1852, that
neither in this country nor in Europe had he
ever beheld horse of auch magnificent action

Line" There is not an administration demo-
crat in the South that can carry in the next con-
test a single free State east of the Rocky Noun
tains, nor do we believe he can carry one west
of them. New England and the Middle States
can be counted out; they have just been repre-
sented and the country at large have had a full
supply of such very miserable material
The man most in favor at Washington, the
personal friend of Buchanan and the one on
whom he desires his mantle to fall--for fail it
must-is General 10. Lane Of Oregon. He is
the favorite Of the democratic party managers,
and his chances, so far as said managers arc
concerned, seem to be very good We have
convorscd with intelligent and active democrats
from the South and West who are ready to
"bet their pile" on his nomination at Charles
ton. He is supposed to possess all the rcqui-
site qualifications to succeed Buchanan and
Pierce, and if such administrations are in de-
mand by the American people we do not believe
the democrats have misjudged in their man.
He is from a State that has been nominally,
and is now likely to be really, free State; but
he is one of savery's prime slaves and is not
only competent but abundantly willing to do all
the dirty work required of him by his master.
He would if he could extend slavery over any
free territory, repeal the laws making the slave
trade piracy, or steul---Cuba. We do not at
present believe that he will be nominated, but
as he is the favorite of many democrats who
believe Douglas to be out of the question, we
give our readers the benefit Of the following
excellent and correct likeness Of the man, which
we find in the Boston Traveller:
ain respect 70 talent he is about as good as
was Polk and is above Pierce. In respect to
morals, his character can be inferred from the
fact that he was the bosom friend of the assas-
sin Brooks, and was on the most intimate terms
with that rascal at the very time he played the
part of bravo. Probably he was one of the
conspirators in that dctestablc affair, like some
others, who in due time will be thoroughly ex-
posed. At all events, he approved of Brooks
conduct and sought to get General Wilson to
fight duel with the Palmetto ruffian, who was
no more entitled to be treated as a gentleman,
even according to the dueling code, then iona
than Wild was entitled to the treatment of an
honest man. Take him for all in ALL he is the
best man the democrats could nominate if their
object shall be to put up type Of their princi-
PIES an incarnation, as it were of that ferocious
sentiment which began to display itself pro-
nouncedly in 1854, which arrived at its height
in 1856. and which won the democratic victory of
that year, having accomplished its work for that
time, but which will assurcdly display itself in
1850 if there shall be any necessity for the in
timidation Of well meaning towards, or the de-
struction of honest and courageous men"

AN ENTIRE IIoP YARD STRUCK WITH LIGHT
NING.-The Coopcrstown, 0tsego Co., IN. W
Frecmans journal of July 2Sth, gives an ac-
count of lightning striking an entire hop yard,
covering three and a half acres, and nearly des-
troying it at one flash. The yard is got up on
the plan by which the vines are supported upon
strings attached to wires that run from posts on
each side and these are connected by cross vi Tres,
so that when the electric discharge fell upon a
corner post, which it shivcred, it ran over every
wire, and down nearly all of the posts, as well
as down many of the strings, and the climbing
vines; in some instances tearing the roots out
the ground, and tearing from the sevcnty-eight
posts that held the wires wagon load of kind
ling wood. The striking was witnessed by a
woman who distinctly saw the fash as it came
down upon the first post and flashed zig-zag
across the plot ON the wires. She describes it
as a magnificent though terrific sight

Il PRESIDENTIAL ASPRINT

Although the last three democratic candidates
for the Presidency have been taken from the
Northern States, there are grave reasons for
believing that the selection next year will not
prove an exception. Some man must be NOM
mated who will carry sufficient votes in the non
slayeholding States which, when added to the
united vote of the South, will give majority in
the electoral college. That man lives, (if in
deed he be alive,) North of "Mason & Dixon's

ANOTHER FREE SrATE.-The last arrival
from Oregon brings the unexpected but graft
candidate for Congress, is elected as the repre-
sentative Of that young State. His reputed
majority is but twenty or thirty; and the Dem
ocratic canvassers may yet beat him; but even
if they should, the fact that the vote is close
one justifes the hope that, in 1860, Oregon will
place herself by the side of nearly every other
Free State in the Union. The days of 10.

WoRIDNT ABANDON A FRIEND.-ln the
flush times of Nicksburg, when the phrase "hard
case" meant something more than it does now,
Harvey jenkins was admittedly one Of the
hardest. BY some accident, Harvey found him
self ut church one evening. The sermon being
over, the preacher required all who were friend
ly to religion to rise and hold up their right
hands. The whole audience, apparently, rose to
their feet. After they were seated again, the
minister continued: Nov, if there is a single
one here who desires to sec Satan and his king
dom prosper, he will rise and hold up his hand"
Harvey, with some difficulty, got into an erect
position, and said; Had the vote been less
unanimous, l should have retained my seat /;
but make it point of honor never TO aban-
don friend under adverse circumstances"

From present indications the result this year
will give the Republicans members in Mime
sofa, and the democrats members from Geor-
gia. This will make the footings as follows
Republicans, 10S; Anti-Lecompton Democrats,
8; North Americans, s; South Americans, %;
Democrats, Of. The full House will consist of
237 members, of which ll9 will be majority.
Should the North Americans and Anti -Lecomp-
ton democrats unite in the organization of the
House, they will have clear majority of II
over the combined opposition.
In another point of view this composition of
the House assumes an Importance that justifies
consideration. If Douglas is nominated by the
democrats at Charleston quite number of the
Southern States threaten to run an independent
candidate. This result will be quite likely to
throw the election into the House of Represen-
tatives. The democrats cannot carry in the
House but two States, or at most three, out of
the eighteen free States, while they have ma
jority in only eleven out of the fifteen slave
States. As in such an election each State has
but one vote, and the candidate must be drawn
from the three highest on the Electoral vote,
the democrats stand still smaller chance of
success than with the people. From present
indications it does not appear that the demo-
Gratis can carry more than Ia States at the out
side, while it will require II to give them ma
jority. This point lends additional interest to
the closely contested elections in Maryland,
Minnesota and California Their representa-
tives may possibly decide who shall be Presi
dent in 1860.

MORMON RAsCALITY.--The letters of our
Utah correspondent, published to-day on the
first page, contain some startling revelations Of
the wickedncss of the "Saints." His state
ments are fully confirmed by q letter from Camp
Floyd, Of July0, which givcs the following ac-
count of the heavy forgcries:-
"a band was organized in Salt Lake CITY for
the purpose of forging Quartermasters checks
upon the ub-Treasurers Of New York and st.
Louis. General Johnston had received nm init
nation OF what was going on, and for more
than week had the parties watched. Yester-
day man named Brewer Mormon, came
down from the city to effect the first sales; he
sold one check for 1867 to man who had been
instructed to purchase them if offered for sale.
a warrant for an arrest was Immediately issued,
the man was taken while in bed, and, on search
being made, the plate for striking checks on st.
Louis, together with number Of blank checks,
was found; the fellow also had in his possession
several checks with the Quartcrmaster's name
upon them; the signature had been SO accurate
ly traced that the Quartermaster himself could
not detect the counterfeit. 1t was one of the
bodest, as well US one of the most dangerous,
attempts at forgery ever pcrpetrated. a man
named Mckenzie, who keeps the Mormon tith-
ing Office in the city. executed the engraving,
and probably struck the prints. A party has
been sent up to arrest him.
The intention was to send Brewer over 10
California with hall a million dolldrs IN checks
there to put them into circulation. If the
scheme had not been nipped in the bud. the
public would probably have been swindled out
of million of dollars.
Brewer is in the hands of the United States
