Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1860-05-17

The Democrat, with the hope of souring Messrs.
John Williams and John Armstrong. is trying to
make them believe that they were sod by their
Republican friends. We can assure that print so
far as those gentlemen are concerned, it is bark
ing at an empty hole, and in doing so displays its
want Of sagacity. Messrs- Williams and Arm
strong understand very well that they received the
votes of ali the prominent Republicans, and if
they were scratched by few it was on account of
personal considerations, and nothing else. We
could with much greater propriesy say that the
Democrats "of this town and township are in
habit of nominating men for the purpose Of trading
them off for the purpose Of securing the election Of
the favorites of the clique" but we don't like to
display want fsagacity by such talk especially
if our logic could be turned upon as readily as the
Democrats can be turned upon it,. Who sold

were put in nomination: Hon. Leonard SWEET,
Hon. Richard Yates, and Hon. Norman B. Judd.
An informal ballot resulted as follows: Judd 245;

The correspondent Of the Tribune SAYS most Sc
rious and important Developments ware made be-
fore the Covode Committee to day.
Mr.. Wendell called upon to show how the
900 and $4,000, which he said had been
expended in carrying the English Bill through the
House, had been applied.
His books were compared with those the Bank
of the Metropolis which were presented by Mr..
Stuart, its book keeper.
He proved that the money hal been distributed
through Mr.. Bean, of Ohio, clerk in Mr. Aliens
Office during the last Congress, and Alexander X
HAY, of Pennsylvania, gentleman OF elegant 1c:s-
ure, well known in sporting circles and W Washington
correspondent OF the New York Express and Sccrc-
tary to the Union and Constitutional Committee,
over which Mr.. Crittenden presided
Mr.. Hay received the largest sum for distribu-
ton, and the money was appropriated exclusively
to carving the bill through the House.
Mr.. Wendell did not deny that ten or fifteen
thousand dollars had been offered for single vote,
and admitted that these payments were made in
expectation ofbcing remunerated through Govern
ment patronage to large extent. He testified to
having had many conversations with the President
during the progress of the English bill and i'm ref
erence to that subject.
The Senate Committee on Territories met this
morning and reached an unexpected conclusion
considering previous Developments. Six members
were present, and when the question VAS put,
whether the boundaries should be altered as pro-
posed by Mr.. Gwin. Mr.. Latham voted in the neg
alive, thus tieing the Committee and preventing
an amendment from being reported.
Mr.. Latham's course may affect the Ultimate de-
cision in the Senate. and possibly carry Kansas
despite Southern combinations. -.
II il reported that the name Of Mr. Russell. of
Ulster county. New York, one of the delegates TO
Charleston, will be sent into the Senate to- morrow

The House Naval Committee have finished their
amendments to the Senate bill increasing the pay
the Navy. 1t is substantially the Senate BILL
1t changes the pay Of Surgeons, making the pay
more uniform. It will be reported TO the House on
Monday next, with the view OF putting X upon lis
passage. =
Lord Lyons had a protracted interview with the
Secretary Of State to-day in regard to the San Juan

easy Of solution as Lord John Russell supposed

Dedication of the Wigwam. &c.

We visited Chicago on Saturday last for the pur
pose OF witnessing the dedication of the great Re
publican Wismln erected by the jealous advocates
of that great party in that magnificent city, and
were more than pleased with all that We saw and
heard. The Chicago Republicans are full of en-
ercy and spirit, and have done awork in the cree
ton Of this tremendous temple of liberty which
will immortalize their fame. The building is 100
by l50 feet with large gallery capable of holding
from two to three thousand people,-the lower
portion il is estimated will hold from eight to ten
THOUSAND. 1t wis crowded TO its utmost capacity
Saturday night, and during the delivery of the
speeches the widest enthusiasm, was displayed by
the vast auditory. We intended TO give a moro
lengthy description of the building, as well as of
the dedication services, but have been so busy
since our return that We have not had time to
write out moro extended account. 1t will well
repay a visit to the city if for nothing else than to
see the Wigwam.
We found number of delegates to the Conven-
ton from different States already in the city, and
large number reached there that evening and on
the following morning. From all that we could
learn By convcrsing with the delegates present We
came to the conclusion that either Mclean, Lin
coin or Bates would be dominated for President.
VERY little was said about the Vice Presidency.
TIE Convention convened yesterday at III o.
clock but up to the hour of going to press have
not received any account of its organization. In
our next intend to give detailed report of its
proceedings, and also announce who will be the
occupant Of the White House at Washington after
,he ith OF March next.

On Saturday last. Mr.. Orftnt arrived here from
Washington with instructions TO take possession OF
the New York Post Office, and cause the Immediate
arrest of Isaac +. Fowler, He proceeded to carry
out the first part of his instructions, and ASSUMED
the entire charge OF the Post office, which he now
holds. With regard to the arrest of AIR.. Fowler.
the matter was placed in the hands of the District
Attorney, who issued warrant for his arrest, ON
Saturday and placed it in the hands OF Capt Ryn.
dcrs, the United States Marshall Immediate
search was made for Mr. Fowler, which has been
continued up to the present time, so Ear without
success. MIR. Fowler left the New York Hotel,
where he has resided for the last ten years. NJ 2
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, since which time no one
except the two or three intimate tfiends who &C.
companied him has been able to ASCERTAIN his
whereabouts. Fowler's alleged def,leation is vaii-
ously estimated ut from S75 900 to $200,000. His
intimate friends declare that il will not exceed
$S0, 000 ~
The whole deficiency is said to have occurred
under the administration of President Pierce. Its
being made known at the present time is alledg-
ed to be OF political nature, and Immediately con-
ncctcd with the proceedings of the Charleston Con-
vention. The present bondsmen of Mr.. Fowler
arc George LAW and Augustus Conover; but as the
defalcation occurred under former adnlinistra-
ton, before they became his bondsmen, il is con.
tended they are not liable.
THE causes Of the defacation are said to have
arisen from the two great liberaity of Mr.. Fowler
to his friends to whom he made temporary loans
Of the government money for the purpose of exts'
eating them fom difficulty, and which they failed
to replace. 1t is also stated that he has resorted
at various times t. the Stock Exchange, for the
purpose of making up the deficit, but always with
i'll luck.

On motion, Hon. Francis A. Hoffmln, of Du

We find the above in the last Democrat, that

that it failed to say that the African gentleman

sion explained to US the other day by gen.

the said Cushitc was elected by Democratic vote;
entirely. Their object, doubt, to curry ia
