The County Fair Grounds.

\ large meeting of the stockholders of
the yanderburgh Agricultural Society, was
holden yesterday afternoon, at Crescent City
Hall, to consider the propriety of removing
the site of the Fair, from the present grounds,
to place near Pigeon creek, on the railroad,
about two and half miles from the CITY,
About twenty acres of very eligible land for
the purpose, has been offered to the Society
for S75 per acre, payable on long time
After an animated discussion, and some an
noying disturbances from men whose facul-
ties had apparently been somewhat obfusca-
ted by spirithous influences, the meeting
came to vote, and carried the motion for
removal by 4 decided majority; there being
20 for removal, to 81 against it, The ques-
ton having been fairly settled, and every
one bound by the will of the majority, we
hope all will cordially unite with heart and
hand in carrying out the measure at once.
The arrangements must be completed in
season for the District Fair, and il will need
the strenuous aid of all to accomplish it,
We have no doubts in regard to the wisdom
of the measure.
All the means of conveyance in the city
have been insufficient, at the last two Fairs,
to convey even the crowds of our own citi-
zens to the Fair Grounds without suffering
vexatiOns, annoyances, and expenses, for
which the pleasure of attendance afforded
but poor compensation. Hundreds of our
own people who suffered last year, declared
their determination never to visit the old
grounds again on Fair days. If such were
the objections to the site for q County Fair,
it would be a very improper place to hold a
District Fair. The attempt to hold that ex-
hibition on the old grounds, we are per-
suaded, would have resulted in failure
that would have been as Notifying 10 the
people of the county, as ruinous to the in
terests of the Association. Every cxerlion
should now be made TO get the new grounds
in order for the great Fair.

Circuit JudQeship

We observe that the political leaders of
Perry county, inconclaye assembled, declar-
ell themselves satisfied with the soundness
of Judge PARROTS democracy, and that they
will thereby support him as a candidate for
Circuit Judge. 1t appears to us that this
intrusion of party considerations in the Sc
tections of the highest members of the Ju-
dietary, must shock the moral senti-
ments of every considerable man. Party
corruption and dominion must have blinded
the perceptions of propriety and degraded
the political morals of country to the low
est degree, when party leaders become
bold enough 10 put forth declaration, that
men who are to sit in Judgment upon the
rights, lives, and dearest interests of their
fellows-who should approach as far as hui
manity will allow, the highest attributes of
divinity in the dispensation of right, justice,
and mercy-are to be chosen for their base
fealty to set of corrupt andselfsh political
leaders.
Il is a sign of the times that must alarm
every rejecting man. Where is the rule of
demagoguism, and the tyranny of political
partizanship to end? Is the partizan record
of man, who is to be placed upon the judg-
ment seat, to dispense justice between man
and man without respect to persons-to de-
termine by the strict rule of right and equi-
~ the knotty and complicated questions Of
right between men of all parties and sects-
the only one by which the Votes of q free
and intelligent people are to be given? We
think the managers of these conventions
have miscalculated the effects of their move
ment. More honest and upright meu will
be driven from the support of candidate
brought forward under Such auspices, than
will be drawn by party lines to his support.
We have nothing to say in this connection
about the qualifications Of the::candidate. No
one aspiring to such position should allow
his reputation to be soiled by a contami-
nation with packed political caucuses, if he
can forbid it.

Counterfctts.

The police in,New York, on Thursday last
broke up a large mandatory of counterfeit
money, in the upper part of the city. They
found the plates for working OF bills on
eleven different genuine banks, and others
for bogus banks, located all over the country,
The establishment was the most extensive
ever discovered, and the owners were max
ing arrangements for business. They had
large amount Of bills ready for issue, done
up in neat parcels of $50 and Sl0o, when
the police pounced upon them. The numer-
Gus detections, and the floods of-counterfeit
bank notes, that accommodating the country,
requiring the mostcritical eye odetectthem,
are leading every one to enquire if there be
not some effectual guard against counterfeit
ing. The remedy lies chiefly with the banks.
They are allowed to make the currency for
the use OF the people, and are penurious to
make proper returns for the exclusive privi-
leges they enjoy. They procure the cheap
est sort of pictures for circulation that can
be furnished by the engravers. Instead of
having original designs engraved by COM
petent workmen in a style that would be
difficult or impossible for ordinary hands to
initiate, they make a bank note from col
lection of dies which every bauk note en-
graver keeps by the hundreds.
By mechanical continuance each OF these
can be multiplied without limit. And so
when a new bank is started, and plates are
wanted for its notes, the engraver submits
to the bank directors his whole repertory Of
designs; and this vignette, and this figure,
and this style of border are selected, just as
the taste or fancy of the directors may sug-
gest. The engraver has only to put his
hand on these various dies, put them in po-
sition, engrave the name of the new bank in
the proper place, and the plate is complete
at very trifing expense to the bank. 1t
is in this way that the vignettes and fgur-
ing and general appearance of the notes OF
so many different banks are identical. 1t is
because the economical system Of combina-
ton of design is resorted to, instead of hav-
ing every plate engraved separately and in
dependently from IN original design.
Engravers are in the habit of selling
transfers from these separate dies for orna-
ments to checks, bills, and a variety of other
sorts of engraved work. In this way coun-
terfeiters get copies of all of them, and they
can make bank note from impressions OF
these dies just rs perfect as the bank en-
graver produces. All the rogue has TO DO,
is to add the plain lettering, which any
novice can execute in a manner Ia defy de
lection. The only safety to the public is TO
compel banks TO abandon the use of this
die work, and oblige each of them to pay
5000 or $4,000 for original and finely
engraved plates of their notes, and to have
them printed on water-lined paper, with a
device peculiar to each bank.

GROWING MONOPOLY OF THE BRITISH Soil.
When, some eighty years ago, Adam Smith
wrote his work on the Wealth of Nations
there still existed in England 22O,OOO land
owners; there now exist bat 10000, who
own the entire soil of England, while the
land of Scotland has accumulated in the
hands of 5000 persons. 1900 British
proprietors succumbed in the short space of
eighty years TO the pressure of the wealth
of the aristocracy, the former Land holders
sinking every year into the condition of Ia
borers. The ranks of the rural middle
classes, significantly called the uneasy "
classes, arc becoming thinner and thinner
every day. The same tendencies are exhib-
tied in all our old States, and when cultiva-
ton shall he done by steam engines and
machinery, farming ut the West will be
done, like manufacturing, by great capitalists
or corporations, and the mass of the people
will become Operatives.

The State Sentinel informs us that the
Commissioners Of the new States Prison
have applied to Judge Wallace for mandate
to compel the State Auditor to allow their
accounts for pay and expenses in the DIS
charge of their arduous duties and long and
numerous peregrinations over the State
The Auditor alleges that he received no.
tifcation some time ago from the Governor,
that he had nc further occasion for their SER
vices; and that being dismissed by the
Governor, they were no longer in the employ
or pay of the State. The case is not yet
decided. but the Commissioners are still
travelling over the country at the States
expense. Under the authority to select
site for prison, they are extending their Ia
bors to the production of new eclectical
system of prison discipline and manage
ment-a service which they deem will be
most important and valuable to the State
The Commissioners, in a body, have visited
the State Prison of Michigan, at jackson,
and the new prison of Illinois, at Joliet
One of the members is now on a tour OF In
spection-while enjoying his summer travels
to the prisons of Iowa, Wisconsin, and
Missouri. DR.. Mullen and Major Dunn are
about to start on series of inspection visits
10 the prisons of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York. Rhode Island, and Massachusetts,
They will, also, attend the General Conven-
ton of Prison Superintendent and Mana
gers, which will be held in Philadelphia
next month, and gather the large experience
upon the subject matter which that body
can furnish. In this way they think they
can be usefully employing their leisure
weeks, and rendering valuable service to the
State. They will collect, they hope, vast
amount of valuable information, which they
can digest into report to be laid before the
next Legislature, to enlighten the members
upon prison construction and prison diScip-
line generally. They have not yet come to
n conclusion whether they will visit the
prisons of England, France, Prussia, Aus
tria, Italy, and other European nations, for
the purpose of gathering hints upon the
best modes of penal punishment; on this
point they have less misgivings in regard
to their authority to travel, than about the
suficiency of the $4,000 appropriation to
pay the expenses of the European tour. If
they could have accorded with the Govern
or, and given him his fayorite location, he
would have borrowed money for them, and
given them blank card to travel the world
over in search of knowledge on prison struc-
lures and discipline, on the credit OF the

How Power Perpetuates Itself.

One great cause of the constant reyou-
tions which occur in the Spanish Ameri-
car Republics is the unfair manner i'm
which their elections are conducted. AL
though suffrage is nominally free, and their
Constitutions are close limitations of our
own, those who WELD power generally man.
age to stifle free expression of public opin-
ion, and to retain their positions until they
are driven from them by force of arms. In
Venezuela, for instance, this result has here
tofOre been brought about somewhat in the
following manner: Every voter in the ma
ton is subject to militia duty. The officers
of the militia companies are all appointed
by the President of the Republic, and at
tached to his interest. On the eve of impor-
tant elections the regular militia trainings
are held, and thus all voters are placed un-
der the military charge of captains il the
interest of the ruling President, who en-
forces sort of martial law. Those who will
not vote to sustain the central power are gen.
orally subjected TO very severe military dis
cipline, and annoyed in-various ways Few,
therefore, dare TO freely exercise the right
of suffrage; and the force of arms, alone, is
relied upon as an effective means of ridding
nation Ofunjust and unpopular rulers.
This Venezuelan system is so antagonistic
to our American ideas of free elections that
it appears utterly absurd, and we wonder
how any people could long submit to it
But there is something very similar to it
practiced year after year in the Democratic
party, and tamely acquieseed in, particularly
in this city. The State National Administra-
tons WELD, through their office holders, very
much such power over the organization of
the Democratic party rs the Presidents of
Venezuela exercise over the voters of that
| country through their militia captains. 1t
issues It's edlciS aud relies upon is collectors,
| its postmast> It's surveyors, etc, and their
| subOrdinates, TO secure their ratification
even when they are clearly prejudicial to
| the best interests of the.Democratic party
| The mass of the Democratic voters are thus
virtually converted into mere vasSals of
power. This disgraceiul condition of affairs
can only be destroyed 10y cordial union of
the good and true men of the party against
| il. If they can sternly and boldly resist it,
they can break the puny bonds Of official in
auence as easily rs CULVER broke the cords
of the Liliputians. In the present political
aspect of the country, it is doubly necessary
that they should do this, and we can scarce
ly doubt that:the hour of their deliverance
is near ut hand.-Forneys Press.

AWFUL observation-disclosures TO DEATH
IN WHEAr-A canal boat was being loaded
withw heatfrom Giles Warehouse in Weeds
portNe York, on Saturday last, by spouting
it in from The bottom of n bin twelve feet
deep, when two boys, named James Cogan
and John Daily, respectively about twelve
and ten years, old seeing the wheat rapidly
settling in the centre of the bin, thought it
would be afines source of amusement to play
in it, and accordingly both at once jumped
into. the rapidly settling centre, and no sooner
had they struck the wheat than they began
to 60 down with it, and the surrounding
wheat to cave in about them so rapidly that
they could not extricate themselves. A
smaller boy standing by gave:the alarm, and
in moment workman jumped in to rescue
them, and actually got hold of them before
they were below the level of the grain; but
they went down so fast, and he with them,
that it was with the greatest effort on getting
hold of the side of the bin that he got out
himself, and ran to shut.of the flow of wheat,
which was the work of moment. The
alarm was given, and all hands rushed to
their rescue; but they had been carried be-
low the level of the grain, and after about
fifteen minutes of the most strenuous exer-
tons they were exhumed, but not till life was
extinct in both cases. They were found
standing straight up, their hands by their
sides, and hats on. They were two fine boys
of worthy parents, who feel their sudden
loss most keenly.-NilWdukee Sentinel 10Th.
