New PrxrrESrrARY CoSrRAcr AWARDED

New PENITENTIARY CONTRACT AWARDED.
Yesterday, we understand, the Governor
awarded the contract for building the new
penitentiary at Michigan City to W. H.
Talbot and F. Costigan of this city. The
contract covers all the work to be done on
the prison except the plumbing, which was
awarded to a Cincinnati bidder. The exact
amount of the bids we could not learn, as
they were not made in gross sum, but in
items of stone work, brick work, iron work,
Be-, at certain rates per foot, yard or pound,
and the amount of work of all kinds to be
done is not yet accurately known. But it
is thought by the contractors that 100000
will be about the sum total of the bids.
The law approprates but $50, 900 to the
work, and the other 5000 it ia supposed
will be covered by the labor of the convcts
provided by the State. The buildings, be-
sides the cell house OF prison proper, are not
to be built now, and are not included in the
estimated 100000. For them a further
appropriation will have to be made by the
Legislature.
There are a number of reports in circula-
ton as to the letting Of this contract, how
one of the commissioners, John P. Dunn,
opposed it steadily from the start, and how
the bids of the successful contractors all
range at 10 per cent under the architects
estimates, on every item, with most sus-
picious regularity; and how responsible
bids of lower amounts were thrown out,
but we do not know " hat foundation there
may be for them, and only allude to them
as part of the news of the affair.-IRd. Jour.

LINCOLN Among the Children.

The following circumstance was related
by teacher from the Five Points House of
Industry in New York.
Our Sunday School in the Five Points
was assembled one Sabbath morning, a few
months since, when l noticed tall and re
markable looking man enter the room and
take seat among US. He listened with
fixed attention to our exercises, and his
countenance manifested such genuine in
terest that l approached him, and suggest
ed that he might be willing to say some
thing to the children. He accepted the
invitation with evident pleasure, and COM
ing forward began a simple address, which
Mt once fascinated every little nearer,
and hushed the room into silence. His Ian
guage was strikingly beautiful, and his
tones musical with intensest feeling. The
faces around would droop into convic-
-tiOn as he uttered sentences of warning,
and would brighten into sunshine as he
spake cheerful words of promise. Once
or twice he attempted to close his remarks,
bnt the imperative shout of "Go-on" ooh
do go on" would compel him to resume.
As | looked upon the gaunt and sinewy
frame of the stranger and marked his pow
erful head and determined features, now
touched into softness by the impressions of
the moment, felt an irresistible curiosity
to learn something more about him, and
when he was quietly leaving the room, |
begged 10 know his name. He courteously
replied, alt is Abra'm Lincoln from Hi

John Bell Cannot be Elected, Either
by the People or Congress.


1t seems from the speculations of the
Opposition papers that they have but little
hope of electing John Bell before the people,
but rely upon electing him by the House of
Representatives. But let US examine the
matter and see what are his chances before
the House. In case Of the election going
| into the House, only the three highest can
didates can be voted for. Each State gives
one vote, and that vote is cast by the major
ity of the present delegation iE Congress,
and not by the Congressman to be elected
this fall. Where the members of Congress
are equally divided between parties, that
States vote can not be cast for any one.
There being turty-three States in the
Union, and a majority Of all the States
being required to elect, the candidate elected
by the House must receive the vote of sew
enteen States.
When the Vice-Presdentis not elected by
the people, the election of Vice President
goes to the Senate and not to the House.
The two highest candidates only can he
voted for by the Senate and a majority of
the Senators elect. The Democrats having
a decided majority will have no difficulty in
electing their candidate for Vice President.
But how will it be in the election Of
President before the House? The Repub-
licans have majority of the delegates in
Congress from fifteen States; the Democrats
have majority in fourteen States; the
Americans in one. The States of Mary
land, Kentucky, and North Carolina are
equally divided between the Democrats and
Americans, and cannot give their votes for
either.
Neither the Democrats nor the Republi-
cans, having seventeen States, neither party
/ can elect.
If the Republican States should be dis
posed to all go to Bell, it would only give
him sixteen States and he could not be
elected.
None of the Democrats would go to him,
and there would be no election by the House
and the Democratic Vice President would
be the President, as it is provided by the
/ Constitution, that in case there is a vacan-
cy in the office of President the Vice Pres
| ident shall fill the place.
| 1t is therefore apparent that MIR. Bell
| stands no chance Of an election whatever,
and those who vote for him, merely throw
| their votes away.-Nem. 1ra.

In view of the large and important cattle
interests of Ohio and the West, and upon
consultation with learned agriculturists of
Ohio, Gov. Dennison has appointed Messrs.
John IL. Klippart, Sullivan D. Harris and
D. Robert Thompson, to proceed to the dis
trcts in New England infected by the dis
ease and report on the following points,
viz:
First-Ascertain the history of the
introduction of the pleuro pneumonia, or
cattle plague into New England. As
certain fully the diagnosis of the disease,
by personal inspection of diseased cattle.
Second-Ascertain fully, by personal in
spection, the morbid anatomy of the affect
ed parts, and attend as many post mortem
examinations as may be either necessary or
convenient.
Third-Ascertain with what effect, if any,
and what kind Of medical treatment has been
administered. Ascertain also what sanitary
measures have been adopted and with what
success also what measures have been de-
termined upon to arrest the progress of the
disease. Determine as accurately as may
be the manner of infection or communica-
ton of this disease from one animal or
herd to another.
Fourth-Collect statements of the pro-
gress of the disease, and the action and re-
suits of the committees appointed by the
recent Legislatures of Massachusetts, and
Connecticut.
The gentlemen appointed on this commits
sion are well known in this community as
scientific and practical men, who take deep
interest in whatever concerns our agricultu-
raj affairs, and we doubt not their report
will be thorough and satisfactory. The
farmers of the State, and especially all who
are connected with the cattle trade, will look
for their report with deep interest Colun,-
