WORKING ON THE CANAL.-It is with
pleasure that we announce that the Board
of Managers of the Southern portion of the
Canal commenced repairing it between here
and Evansville last Monday. The Canal
being unnavigable for the past few weeks has
set the people to thinking, and we think,
has convinced everybody that it is impossi-
BILE to get along. without it. We know of. one
farmer who paid IS cents bushel for hav-
ing wheat hauled to market, all because the
Canal was not nayigable. Now, it is very
evident that no farmer can afford to pay
such prices to get their wheat into market.
The citizens along the line of the Canal
cannot do without it, ifit be possible to keep
it up. 1t is matter of vital Importance to
the citizens in every county along the Canal,
aHd we now hope such arrangements may
be made as will keep it in good order from
this time on. We publish in another column
of this mornings paper, the proceeding oi

MEETING AT MOBILES CHAPEL.-A Repub-
lean meeting was held in Nobless Chapel,
in the Southeast corner Of Gibson county,
on Thursday afternoon last. About one hun
dred and fifty people were present. amongst
them some ladies.
Speeches were made by Col. @. NJ. Alien
and Benz. Harrison. During the course Of
Mr.. Harrison's remarks, certain questions
were propounded to him by Douglas
Democrat in the audience. He answered them
satisfactorily and quieted his interrogator,
and then wanted any Democrat or Demo-
Gratis ia the audience to tell him one meas
ure that the Democracy proposed to carry
out which was calculated to benefit the
free white laboring men ofthe North. There
was no reply; all were silent as the grave.
Mr.. Harrison's triumph was complete. He
then asked his querist, Ny friend, do you
believe slavery to be right, and do you think
it ought to be extended p The Douglas
man said he did believe slavery to be right
and that it ought to be extended.
These are the meetings that tell at the
polls Would that one could be held in each
township in Southern Indiana during the
ensuing three weeks. Friends, bestir your
selves, and see that the innumerable facts
and arguments in favor OF Republican prin
| ciples are properly presented to every voter
in the First Congressional District at as
early day as possible. The result of your
efforts will be most favorable 10 the cause
of the free white man, in this portion Of the
country where the Republicans have been so
misrepresented and belied, and where ma
jority of the people entirely misapprehend
the designs aud principles of the party.

MR. HowE's SEWING MACHINE PATENT
ExrENDED.-The application of Mr.. E.
Howe, Jr., for an extension of his patent for
the needle used in the best sewing machines,
which was for some time pending before the
Commissioner of Patents, was decided on
Saturday last. The grounds on which the
application was made, as produced in the
argument of his counsel, were-that the
half million OF dollars acquired by the in
ventor, as profits, was not sufficient remun-
Grafton for the actual advantage derived
from the use of the invention; that new
branches of industry hal been created by
its means, and that by its use products had
been cheapened and improved and hours of
labor lessened, while wages had : been in
creased. After having heard the arguments
the Commissioner of Patents reserved his
decision until Saturday last, when he grant
ed the application and extended the patent
for seven years. In making his decision, the
Commissioner expressed the opinion that the
profits which had accrued to the inventor,
were not such as the value of the invention
entitled him TOY. 7. Times, Sept. 10.

BOGUS CALCULATIONS.

The Louisville Democrat and other squat
ter sheets, proclaim that Douglas should be
nominated for the two-fold reason that he
had majority of the delegates at Charles
ton and is the candidate of two thirds of the
Democrats Of the Union. Both assertions
are false Under the operation of the "unit
rule" at Charleston, Douglas procured a
bare majority of electoral votes, but at least
twenty of these votes were represented by
delegates bitterly hostile to him, but whose
voices were silenced by the inexorable ma
jorities in their delegations. For instance,
the vote in the New York delegation was
for Douglas, to II against him. The rule
disfranchised the minority, and the entire 35
votes of New York were given to Douglas
The same was the case with Indiana and
probably other states. The real strength Of
Douglas in the Convention, if the vote had
been taken per capita, would not have been
above 1870, under any circumstances.
The squatter papers parade table giving
the Democratic vote of the several states, in
which the vote of those states whose delega
tions in convention were for Douglas is ap-
propriated to that gentleman. OF course,
the table foots up more than two thirds of
the aggregate vote of the country for Doug.
las. The justice of this estimate will be
seen from the circumstance that the 23O, 900
Democratic voters Of the State of New York,
are unbushingy planked down for Douglas,
when one half Of them prefer some other
man. The same is the case with nearly
every other northern State. Such statistics
are the most absurd trash, and should de-
ceive no one. The fact is, Douglas is the
undoubted favorite Of small majority of
the northern people; but there is large mi
nority against him, whose votes, united with
those of the entire South, throw him into a
very beggarly minority himself He is not
the first choice of one third of the Demo.
cratic voters of the entire Union-N. Y

WELL DONE, FOR AUBuHN.-At special
election held on Monday last, we learn from
the Placer Herald, the people OF Auburn
voted unanimously in favor of authorizing
the Trustees Of that town to subscribe $5O,-
900 to the stock of the Sacramento, Plac-
er and Nevada Railroad, in accordance with
an act of the last Legislature. Auburn has
by this movement won the reputation of be-
ing the most public spirited town in the
State. We doubt if greater iberality was
ever shown by any village of like size in the
Union. Neuadd Journal.
We thank you friend Waite for your hand
some complement, and agree with you
that little Auburn is the "most public spirit
ed tovn in the State" And assure YOU
the railroad from Folsom TO Nevada will
be built. A year from this time the cars
will be running to point within five miles
Of Auburn. Hurrah for the ralroad-Eve-
rybody says the same, "Hurrah for the rail

The Mountain Spring Robbery.--More
Arrests

In the account we gave, last week, of the
late robbery Of Mountain Springs, we men
toned that man, well known in this vicin.
ity as "Curly Smith," had been arrested on
suspicion as knowing something about the
robbery, and taken to Aul urn for examina
ton.
On Monday last, Jenny Moore, also well
known in this place, in company with ano-
ther female who gave her name rs Mrs. Muir
ply, hired carriage at Cadys stable to 90
TO Auburn. Mr.. Lockwood, of this place,
was employed by Mr.. Cady to drive them
down. They arrived at Auburn in due time
and the two females went to the Jail and re-
quested permission to have an interview with
"Curly Smith" They were first refused, but
subsequently the officer in charge gave the
permission but kept a close watch upon their
movements. After leaving the Jail, the one
calling herself Mrs. Murphy, without waiting
either for her companion or their driver, or
dered their carriage and drove hastily out of
town. This proceeding, together with other
other suspicious circumstances, led the Off
GERS to suspect that all was not right and
the carriage was pursued by officers Crutch
er and Johnston, who overlook and arrested
the person with the carriage, at Johnson's
Ranch On being taken back suspicious as
to sex were also aroused, and the person was
taken to the Sheritf's Office, where, upon ex-
animation, the late Mrs. Murphy proved to
be man, with the supposed name of VIM.
Dixon.
He was subsequently fully identified by
Mr.. Brown and his clerk, as one of the par
ties who robbed their store. Immediately
upon this arrest Mrs. Moore was also taken
into custody and furnished with comfortable
quarters in the county institution at Auburn.
Officers Boggs and Johnston came into
Grass Valley the same night, and after ma
king some inquiry, were led to suspect that
person stopping at small house just south
of the public school house, in this place,
knew more of this affair than an honest man
should. Acting upon this suspicion they
concluded to pay the place visit of recon
noisance; and about IL o'clock on Friday
night in company with Mr.. Stephenson,
night watch of this place, officer Ed. Burrell
of Nevada, and John Goad, they approached
the house in question. They were at once
observed, and man was noticed endeavor-
ing to make hasty retreat from the premi'
ses He was called upon to stand when he
drew his pistol upon Stephenson, upon which
Mr.. Boggs Immediately ordered S., who had
a double barreled shot gun to fire, which he
did with such promptness and accuracy as to
bring his man to the ground, before he
could discharge his own pistol. He was i'm
mediately arrested without any further oppo.
sition, and taken to DR.. Randall's where it
was found some eight or nine balls had en-
tered his thigh and groin. The wound was
temporarily dressed, and be was Immediately
taken to Nevada and lodged in Jail. The
wound is very severe, SO much so that the
man will in all probability lose bis leg.
