The New Penitcntiary.

Tho ct. Wayne Sentinel AMI the Logans
port Pharos-both Democratic papers
are very wroth at Gov Willard and the To-
eating Commissioners, for selecting Mich
igan City as the site for the new Penitcn-
tiary.
The Pharos says that Gov Willard hal
stated that the Commissioners. previous to
their appointment, had pledged themselves
to locate tho new prison at Logansport
The Sentinel says that Gov. Willard.
while making his Pententiary tour, prom
ised the citizens Of Fort Wayne that the
present Commissioners should never have
the location of the penitentary, and that
he would veto any choice they might make;
but if they could be induced to resign he
would agree to the location at Fort Wayne.
The Sentinel further says that the day that
the location at Michigan City was agreed
upon, each of the Commissioners drew
from the State Treasury 81, 800 for servi-
ces, and that ''they and the worthy Cover
nor drowned all past differences in glori-
Gus drunken spree
The Pharos ironically asks, 'Is on
worthy friend OF the Sentinel SURE tina,

We have had occasion more than once to refer
TO the corruption that exists in the printing depart
ment at w ashington. II was brought out by the
investigating committee that one man had to give
out OF his profits one hundred thousand dollars to
assist in electng Buchanan to the Presidency. The
telegraph announces that
1.-The bids for printing the Post Office blanks
we're opened to-day. Mr.. Crowel of N. ", offers
70 execute she work for CSC and Mr.. Thomas of
Buffalo, for 94Isc less on the dollar than the gov
eminent has heretofore paid
Surely this does not require a word Of comment
Would it be possible in the range of the civilized
world to fini such an instance Of gross, unmtiga-
ted corruptionl In order TO feed hungry politi-
clans, Democratic government Is paving for prin-
ting Post Office blanks one dollar which others Of
ter to print for FIVE and alf cents. Out of every
hundred thousand dollars spent for such work. nine
ty four thousand five hundred dollars are thrown
away. Do onr readers ask how such things can
possibly BET We answer, precisely in the same
manner as the Allen County Commits aided
by the Court House clique, little time ago let out
the building. of Beaver mill bridge, at near one
thousand dollars more than honest dealing and res
ponsbe men would have built it for; and just in the
same manner they contracted for the iron bridge
at Lees Ford so as to get poor, useless bridge,
which no man dare drive heavy team over-a
bridge which IS out Of all proportion-weak where
it should be strong, and strong where no strength
IS needed, and which paid for before il was
"iShcu, "hiic AT TIE same time they relccteu an
offer from most responsible man to build bridge
that should be ten thousand pounds heavier,
should give perfect satisfaction, and who offered to
give security for any amount, that the contract
would be faithfully completed; and just in the same
manner as a simiar public job was managed near
New Haven, whore bridge put up the
Alaumee river, the principal if not the only benefit
OF which was, to open good road tn Certain lands
owned and held for speculation, BY some of this
very clique, and wliich was built in such location
that II will cost much to make road to it as il
cost to build the bridge. How can such corruption
exist! why, the enormous expenses Of support
ing the Democraticp irty absorb millions of money.
and this is the way money is raised. What honest
men will do for five and half cents, Democrats
pay dollar for, liking stpulations that the extra
amount shall be divided by the national clique,
Just as the profits of county jobs are divided by the
county clique.-Fort Wayne Rep.
From the above exposition we infer that the
Democracy up in Allen County are about as corrupt
rs that party is down here in Marshall 1t is as
tonshing that so many good, honest men. continue
TO nc, with that corrupt party Is it possible tia,
they are so blinded by prejudice that they cannot
see these tlingsl

Impression prevails that they will decide
adversely to it, inasmuch as the President
and Secretary Of War have neither Of them
RECOMMENDED it.
Gen. Pomeroy arrived here yesterday
from Atchison. Kansas, in three days, the
quickest trip ever made from that Territory
to this city, and was accomplished by the
new line of railroad just opened between
Atchison and St. Joseph, where connection
is made with the rail road to Illinois.
The Representatives and Senator'S from
Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina
had their last conference yesterday. and
declared that in view of the two National
Conventions which are about to assemble.
it was advisable to postpone the Atlanta
Conference until after the Presidential cleo
ton.

Rr. Bates. Letter.

We publish to-day in full on our first page, the
recent letter written BY Judge Bates to the Dele
gates from Missouri to the Republican National
Convention. Il viii be seen that he plants him
sclf unreser,edly on the Republican platform,
and no Republican consistently hesitate in
Welding him cordial and Jealous support, in the
event of his receiving the nomination at Chicago
We have heretofore minated that we thought
Mr.. Bates was the best nomination that could be
made, and think still, but are by no means te-
nscious. II any other man gets the nomination
ve shah advocate his election with all our power

Done II.

The LOUISVILLE Journal thinks Mr.. Bates has
gone and done it, in his late letter to the Missouri;
delegates. 1t says:
If the man points of the letter Of this gentleman
to the Chicago delegation of Missouri are correctly
presented by the telegraph, presume they
arc, he has deliberately and formally subscribed to
every article in the Republican creed. Nay, he
has not merely subscribed to the entire Republican
platform, but he has subscribed to it i'm the pecu-
liar Republican spirit. "ffe is opposed to the OK
tension of slavery" says the telegraph "and in his
opinion the spirit and policy of the Government
ought to be against it3 extension" This covers
the whole Republican ground. II settles the posi-
ton OF Mr.. Bates decisivcly. He is Republican
and nothing else. He is just as good or bad Re-
publican as Sewari Chase or Line In is He is
Republican pure and simple As such, of course
the Constitutional Union men of the South will
scorn to toxch him. He has By single blow sew
cred every tie of confidence of sympathy which
connected him with the Southern Conservatives

A Marine Mystery.

The New York papers Of the 2al confirm ac-
counts of a terrible and mysterious tragedy, which
promises to unfold n chapter in crime of unc xau,-
pied horror. The sloop f. A. Johnson sailed from
New York on the 18th inst, bound to Virginia for
~ load OF oysters, since which time she has not
been heard of until the 2lst, when she was picked
up in the Lower Bay, with bowsprit gone and aban-
doned. When boarded. her deck, says the Tribune.
"prescntcd a most horrible spectacle being aim ost
literally covered with cIotted blood and hair. On
entering the cabin no person visible, but large
poos ofbood lay on both sides of the stove and in
the companion wav. The starboard was also stain
ed with bloody finger marks. Her boat was gone.
In the cabin were found pair of India rubber
boots, several shirts, bedding. and number OF
other articles which could have been easily taken
away if the vessel had been honestly abandon
ed"
Everything about the vessel indicated that tire
mendOus contcst-a struggle for life-had taken
place. and that the bodies Of the victims, mangled
bloody, dead, or so nearly so as to render any re
sistance impossible, mad been dragged along the
deck and thrown overheard The details, as pub
shed in the New York papers, are too horrid for
recital. Several theories have been started in ref
erence to the affIir. The most probable seems to
be that the river pirates, knowing that consider
able amount of money on board the vessel, hat
boarded her for the purpose of earring it off, anC
meeting with spirited resistance, added the crime
of murder to that of robbery. The Tribune says in
conclusions: "a fearful story in connection viii
the affair awaits the public. The police work
ing the matter up most diligently, and will scou
every place with view to the discovery and ares
of the perpetrator, whoever he may be- At pres
