INDIANAPOLIS, JAM 10th, 1861
EDITOR JOURNAL Our city authorities,
together with with the State officers, are absent
on a pleasure excursion to the city of Louis
vile, according to an invitation given by
the authorities of the last named city, to
join with the authorities of Cincinnati,
and the Legislatures of Kentucky and Ten
nessee, in grand jubilee over the opening
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
1t promises to be rich affair, and 70 doubt
will be the means of quoting, to some ex-
tent, the croakers, fre-eaters, and disunion-
lists that now curse our country.
They ,go from Louisville to Cincinnati
and Columbus. The citizens of Indiana
polls and State of Indiana of course will
not allow themselves to be outdone in the
way of generosity, and should this wicked
corrupt Administration not succeed in
ie.e.- the Union ere the assembling of
-reporS syislature, we may expect the
sndered our citizens to be re-
saR. grand jubilee given in the
The coming Opposition Convention pro-
misses to be harmonious and large assem-
bly,. The question is, how can we honorably
succeed in the determination of our wicked
foe?
The impression here is that Henry S. Lane
is the man for Governor, and is better calcu-
lated than any other man to use up and polit-
icaIly lay in the shade the Administration
pet, Mr. T. A. Hendricks.
Judge Otto is also favorably spoken of.
The feeling here is, 1t matters not what sec
ton of the State the candidates live in, but
can they succeed

spoken of as the candidate for Reporter of
Decisions of the Supreme Court. 1t is use
less to say that better man for the place
than Mr.. Harrison could not be found. He
is son of J. Scott Harrison, of Hamilton
county, Ohio, and grandson of the hero of
Tippecanoe-a good worker and fine speaker.
His acquaintance, as far as we know, are
all his friends.
Business in this city is brisk for the sea-
son. The spring trade now promises to
omen up more favorable than usual. Seve-
raj Touring mills, sawmiils, whosesale gro
ccries, commission houses, &C., &C., will be
nut into operation during the coming sea-
son.
A better point for manufacturing agricul-
turaI implements, for stock trading, grain
trading, or almost any other kind of trading,
exists nowhere west of the mountains.
Our railroad facilities cannot be beaten
Timber is inexhaustible. Everything is
cheap. AS for grain, no city, according to
size, does better business. Our streets are
t-brepeed- with corn and wheat wagons,
constantly, when the weather will admit |;
besides, innumerable quantities ~4aEElEe and
are exported daily by railroad. ---A-
The financial elements are somewhat dis
turbed. Illinois and Wisconsin money is
now taken only at a discount of five per
cent. which causes our brokers to get con-
siderable cursing, there being no apparent
cause for the shave, save that great amount
of such funds is now in circulation, having
been paid out for produce. The money is
inst as good as when paid out. The brokers
know they have the power, and sksr because
they know they can. There should be
law against depreciating money, except in
the hands of bankers.
There have been two small fires this
week-the FIRST since the organization OF
our new pay fire department. The change
works like charm, and promises to be a
great saving to the city, in the way OF both
property and morals. o.
