The POISONED CHALIcE RETURNED TO THEIR
OwN LIPs.-The black republicans in Congress
procured an investigating committee, on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Covode, for the purpose of prov
ing corruption upon their opponents in the
persons Of Mr.. Buchanan and the administers
ton; but, as in many other cases where man
proposes and God disposes, the poisoned cha
lice has been returned to their own lips; the
corruption has been shown to exist on the other
side. For example, the testimony Of Collector
Schell proves that in distributing the funds for
the election of 1856, he gave $50, 900 to Cheva-
ler Forney, the managing man of the black
republicans; and the testimony of Mr.. Butter
worth shows that he gave $500 to Mr.. Haskin,
of westchester, one Of the chief engineers of
the republican party. viii not these cheva-
liers exhibit little more of their dirty linen |?

France, in the drawing closer together of Rus
STA and Austria, in the sturdy resistance of the
Pope to the Napoleonic ideas, and in the
changing difficulties that are continually
gathering themselves in the path of Louis
Napoleon and Victor Emanuel. When the
French Emperor determined to declare war
against Austria a year ago, it is reported that
his uncle Jerome, the brother of Napoleon,
left the Palace in despair, exclaiming, 81 fore

Yes, the times of 1911 have returned, or they
are, at least, near at hand. The era of dynastic
coalitions against the executory legatee of the
revolution is reappearing. But though it
comes now with the same ideas as of old, it
has new elements to deal with. The revolu-
merce has risen to be controlling power in
politics the steam engine, by multiplying
thousand fold the power Of man, has elevated
the masses; journalism has penetrated and
transfused the ideas of the age; and
the interests of the many are beginning

old Latin race, full Of enthusiasm, into the

the millions in their contest with the feudal theo

has been the progress Of the revolution against
the feudal despotisms.
But the dynasties will not yield without
struggle and the new combinations that are

the old fiscal theory of France, and seeks to

surance of $4,000. .--....ze
Mr.. Thomas Eastman, who occupied the

but little of household effects Loss about
5000; no insurance.
The total loss by this fire was not less
than $l4, 900.
A large portion of the old records, books,
&c. of the u. S. Land Office were kept over
the store of Bascom & Co, and We're entire
ly destroyed.
Col. VIM. a. Jones, Mayor of the city,
who had his private room over IIeisner's
store, was one of the first to discover the
fire. He was aroused by the'a sense volumes
of smoke pouring into his room and enyel-
oping the neighborhood, before the flames
had burst out, and finding that no alarm
was yet given, be exerted himself in arous-
ing the neighborhood, overlooking the secu-
rity Of his own property-and consequent
ly lost everything, including library, private
papers, &C., not even saving a change of
clothing.
This is one of the most serious calamities
that has befallen our little city--but we
trust that the signs of its desoiating tracks
will soon be oblIterated.

Back We are informed that building
Mill be much delayed this season on account
of the impossibility of getting sufficiency
of brick. The first kins to be burned are
all engaged, and those persons who were
not lucky enough to hand in their orders in
time will have to wait for subsequent kilns.
The amount of building this season will
be larger than ever before in any one sea-
son. On every hand evidences Of improve
ment are to be seen. Our mechanics will
have busy time of it this spring, summer,
and fall.
We are likewise told that clay suitable
for making brick is getting scarce in the
suburbs of town, and soon brick-makers
will have to go out into the edge of the
fields to find room and clay.

The Wheat Cron.


THE WHEAT.-The refreshing rains and
genial sunshine of the past week or ten
days has worked a miracle in the growing
wheat. A gentleman who has travelled to
a considerable extent in this county and
Carroll, informs us that he never saw bet
ter prospect for an abundant harvest We
have equally encouraging accounts from
Clinton and Warren counties ; and from the
tone of our exchanges IN this State and Illi-
nois, we anticipate something over an aver
age crop.-Ld|dyeHe Courier.
A friend who has just returned from trip
through the surrounding country, informs
us that he never saw better promise of a
growing crop than the fields now present
The wheat looks unusually thrifty, and he
has no doubt, if no untimely weather occurs,
but there will be an unprecedentodIy large
yield of the staff of life hereabOut.-E0rt
HayRe Times.
WHEAT PRosPEcTs.-On passing up the
Chicago road few days since, we were
much gratified in observing the appearance
of the wheat crop, particularly in Wayne
and Henry counties We have seldom seen
it look better at this season, being general
ly well set on the ground, and thrifty.
The late rains have greatly promoted the
growth OF both wheat and grass.-RichmoBd
Broad Are.
The growing wheat crop, so far as Elk
heart county is concerned, promises now to
out-measure that of several previous years.
There is also more than an average proper
tion of ground sown this year, which
strengthens the conclusion that Elkhart
county will put more wheat in market this
year than ever before Goshen Tines.
THE WHEAT PRosPEcTs-W learn from
persons residing in different parts of the
county, that the wheat is looking much
better than was expected few weeks ago.
The rain which fell on Tuesday evening
will he of immense benefit to wheat in
Greene county, but in some localities there
are whole fields that cannot possibly make
over half a crop WOrthington Times
We are glad to see such cheering ac-
counts from the more Northern portions ot
the State. There is no doubt that in the
country Immediately back of here, the
wheat is badly q frozen out, and that con-
siderable ground will have to be plowed up
and put in corn. We have talked on the
subject with farmers who would not de.
ceive. In Kentucky, likewise, we think the
/ crop will be short.

How IT WAS DONE IN ARKANsAw.-The
recent brawls in the House at Washington,
remind US of n story we heard in Arkan-
sas, seven years since, which has never been
in print. 1t is no disrespect to the present
enlightened and genial State of Arkansas
to say, that in its incipient or Territorial
days it was rather 4" rough 1t was very
common thing for q man to leave the bosom
of his family in sound health in the morn
ing and return dead at night. Cuttings,
slashings and shootings were of daily oc-
currence 1t was dangerous TO be safe
The Legislature was chiefly composed of
bullies and biacklegs, and the scenes enacted
by them were often very eccentric. A light
arose about something in the "House one
day. The Hon. Mr.. Bangor, Of Napoleon,
called the Hon. Mr.. Slanger, OF Helena, q
liar. The Hon. SIanger retorted with n
bullet, which took of the Hon. Bangor S
left ear. Both then sprang into the center
of the hall with drawn bowie knives. The
Speaker said "by G. we must have fair
play in this business! = and rushed out into
the floor with a cooked pistol in one hand
and a tremendous Z" toothpfck " in the other,
and in tones of thunder commanded the
Representatives TO form a ring.
A ring was formed, and, in the classics of
the time, the combatants "went in They
cut each other frightfully, and for quite n
spell it was difficult to decide who was the
better man. But finally Bangor by an
adroit thrust, cut off Slanger's head, and
instant death was the result. Mr.. Slanger's
remains being removed, and order restored
Mr.. Bangor arose and said: e 1t is my pain
full duty to announce to the House the death
of the Hon. VIM. Slanger, of Helena. He
was good at draw-poker and faro, and hand

Extensaon OF the Z. . @. r. n.

.GenI GsoRGE K. SFEELE, of Rockville, -
IN the city, soliciting stock for the purpose
of extending the f. & c. r. r. to Rockville,
Parke county, twcnty-three miles north of
Terre Haute. AS we stated the other day,
only $40, 600 are needed to insure the COM
pletion OF the work, arrangements having
been made for the T. II. L R. r. r. to fur
nish the iron in exchange for the stock that
has been and that may be subscribed. Cen
eral Steele thinks that if he can get $l0,-
900 subscribed here, the extension will be a
certainty.
Some of our leading men have expressed
a willingness to lead off with handsome
subscriptions, but a few cannot do the work.
Every man in wholesale trade here-every
buyer of produce-every commission mer-
chant more or less interested in this
extension. Parl1e county is one of the
richest in Indiana. If there were a direct
communication between this City and its
county seat, Rockville, as this road would
furnish, Evansville would be the natural
market for its produce, the most convenient
shipping point for its live stock and produce
destined for the Southern markets, and the
best place at which its dealers conld supply
themselves with groceries, queensware,
hardware, aud other merchandise. In short
this would be the point at which the heavy
business operations of the county would be
conducted. The distance is only 1872 miles
md ba
stop at Rockville, but would eventually be
extended to Attica, on the Toledo, Wabash
and Western Railroad, leading to Lake Erie
thus opening up q more direct route to the
brought from the East by Lake to Toledo,
and to this point over the above route,
would cost far less than they now do, leav-
ing the Lake at Cleveland. This advant-
age is worth thinking about
Parke county raises surplus of some
O,o00 bushels of wheat and 10000 hogs
one year with another, besides immense
quantities Of corn, oats, poultry, eggs, but
ter, fruit aud other farm productions. Much
of this would seek this market, and of
course the sellers would purchase in return
a proportionate amount of merchandise
thus throwing a double profit into our hands,
and contributing to the prosperity of our
city?
If Evansville does not help this enterprise
along, the probability is it will not succeed, |
and the trade be diverted into other chan !
nels. We should regret to see so good an
opportunity fos swelling the trade of the
city lost. We hope, therefore, that all those |
interested will give this subject their serious
consideration, and if possible help the enter
prise to as great an extent as they feel able.
We know that the extension of the road
would add largely TO the trade of cur city, !
and we know also that such advantages
should he secured il we wish to make Evans
ville-what Nature designed her-the Com
mercial Emporium Of Indiana, for all time
to come
Genl Steele will be in the city--at the 1
Pavilion Hotel, to day. If he meets with
sufficient encouragement, he will remain
longer.

NEW YORK, April 10, P. M.-The Iri-
bu'ae's correspondence contains Mr.. Buchan-
! ans celebrated letter of July 12, 1857, TO
Robt. j. Walker, then Governor of Kansas,
in regard to the submission of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution to the people of Kansas.
Mr.. Buchanan says: "You may Judge with
what satisfaction we received an account
of the proceeding of the National Democrat
ic Convention held ut Lecompton on the 3rd
inst. The point ontwhich your own sue
cess depends is the submission of a Constitu-
tiOn to the people of Kansas and by the
people mean, and l have no doubt you
mean, the actual bona-6de residents who
have been long enough in the territory to
identify themselves with its fate. On this
question of submitting the Constitution to
the bona-ide residents Of Kansas, / am
willing to stand or fall. 1t is the principle of
the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the principle of
popular sovereignty, and the principle of the
foundation of all popular government The
more It is discussed the stronger it viii be-
come. Should the convention of Kansas
adopt this principle, all will be settled har-
moniously.
In another portion of his letter Buchanan
reiterates this doctrine, saying, would adj
wise you to make the great principle Of the
submission OF the Constitution to the bona
fde residents of Kansas conspieuously prom
inent. On this you will be irresistible.
With the question of climate every person
is acquainted, and the more you insist upon
that the more will our opponents urge that
we are violating the principles of non-in-
terventiOn at the foundation of the Kan
sas-Nebraska BILL
