LAURA JERAULD, Secretary.

BIr The editor of the Rushville Jack
soaaian, Robert S. Sprouie, belongs to
that class of politicians who believe it to
be the duty of opponents Of the Admin
istratiOn to join secret societies and at
tend political emblages. On Tues.
day nj ght he made a violent speech at
Military Hall, ia this city, and gave out
that on the morrow he would present
series of resolutions to the meeting that
would make the issue 'direct with the
Administration on its military dictator
ship" and he for one would resist to the
death all further attempts to make ar
rests of citizens by military power. He
said the blood of Emmett flowed in his
veins, and he never would submit to live
under military despotism. Now for the
joke. Some one told him on Wednesday
morning that the military officers were
after him to arrest him for the language
used in his speech, and the valiant
Knight Immediately hired a horse and
buggy and left the city for Rush county,
and never attended the meeting at all
Such is usually the conduct of those who
seek notoriety by bravado rather than by
pursuing plain common sense course

BeA- The soldiers of Grants army
have been guilty of an outrage on
" Democratic rights" The constitution.
Merrick and Voorhees, affirm, is as sa.
cred in Mississippi as in Ohio, yet the
soldiers suppressed the jackson Missis-
sippian and Quilted the office. This is
clearly contrary to the Constitution as
it was" and is probably another instance
of persecution for opinions sake. A
few days before, the editor of the Missis-
sippian, Dumble, who went South with
letters of recommendation from Val
landigham, grew Democratically indig-
nant at his arrest The Memphis Bull

fled when we state that they are scarce
ly elevated above the level of the argu-
ment of the most violent abolition press
in justification of the whole policy of
arbitrary arrests. 1t is astonishing and
lamentable that the minds of judges of
high courts should become so perverted
by the influence of executive power and
by the clamor of a partisan press, which
places nothing before the realization of
its vindictive and destructive partisan
policies Chicago Times.
Judge Leavitt has always been a dem
ocrat The genuiness of his democracy
has never bef,re been questioned Be-
cause, however, he is unwilling to preciy-
itate struggle between the civil and
military authorities of the Government,
he is denounced as an abolitionist by
the selfconstituted democratic organs of
the northwest. Judge Leavitt believes
the Constitution of the United States
confers ample powers upon the Presi-
dent to defend the government against
instruction at home, as well aggres-
sious from abroad. Among other pow
ers is that of suspending the writ of ha-
baes corpus. So believing, he refused
to grant writ to Vatlandigham; and
that according to the Chicago TIMES,
constitutes him an abolitionist. We are
progressing. The term abolitionist is
expanding. A few years ago, it was ap-
piled only to those who were in favor of
abolishing slavery by law. Then it was
made to include those who were opposed
to slavery extension into the territories
Now it applies to all who are in favor of

VIOLENCE REQUIRED There has
been series of burglaries and robberies
committed in this city during the last
two or three weeks, which indicates that
our city is infested with a gang of burg
lars. These burglaries are becoming so
frequent that 1t behooves our city au-
thrities to be exceedingly vigilent in
their efforts to protect property, and de-
tect the scoundrels and vagabonds who
infest our city.
There are large number of suspic-
ious characters prowling around the city
who have no visible means of support
Would it not be well for the authorities
to rid the city of their presence? Is
there not a vagrant act in force?

saar The New Albany Ledger says
that tie resolutions published in the
Cincinnati Gazette on Thursday, put
porting to be those adopted by the Dem
ocratic mass meeting at Indianapolis on
Wednesday, are grossly 'ihcoSrect-E1-
change.
They are not grossly Incorrect" and
are oRly Incorrect at all because the res
olutions as reported and passed were
amended to an extent by no means COM
plimentary to those who wrote them, by
the Committee. The copy we and the
Cincinnati Gazette published was cor
rect, as the resolutions were reported.
The "incorrectness" came through the
corrections of the committee, who took
till midnight to lick the thing into shape
for publication-IndJ Jour.
Tha New Albany Ledger sent one of
its editors to indianapolis, to keep the
readers of the paper posted as to what
was done on that "momentous occasion"
But the editor who staid at home seems
to know more about what occurred at
the convention than the one that was
present For instance the reporter of
the Ledger telegraphed that paper as fol-
lows:
''The greatest enthusiasm and the
best of feeling prevails, The people are
in earnest and determined to maintain the
constitution and preserve the Union.
No oppression of sympathy for rebels
North or South is heard
In another paragraph the reporter
says:
THE speakers Who have addressed the
meeting thus far are Messrs Voorhees, of
this State, and Hon. R. T. Merrick of II.
linois. The speeches Of both gentlemen
tcere very emphatic.
Ina day or two afterwards, the Ledger
suddenly discovered that there were
some expressions of sympathy for rebels
especially in the speech of "Hon." R.
T. Merrick, and it denounced the eff
fort of that gentleman roundly. But
Mr. Voorhees, speech, says the Reporter
was equally "emphatie." Why don't
the Ledger also polish off the latter
gentleman. 1t is improper to go abroad
to do our scolding, when those who de-
serve it are found nearer home.
But since the Ledger has taken issue
with its own Reporter who went there
to see, it is not strange that it should
deny the record as regards the resolu'
tons adopted at that meeting 1t is as
impossible that two or three professional
reporters should a II make the same mis-
take as to the resolutions adopted, as il
is that the editor of the Ledger who re
manned in New Albany should know
more of what occurred at the Capital
than the editor I:who event there or
purpose to report the proceeding:
of the convention.

Peaches Injured.

We fear the peach crop is going to be
partial if not total failure in some
parts of this State. The trouble seems
to be with the leaf, which curls up and
drops off, causing the fruit to wither and
fall with it. AS to the real cause of this
there seems to be a diversity of opinion
among fruit growers and others who have
investigated and experimental in the
application of remedies. Many contend
that the trouble lies at the root of the
tree, while others think it is confined to
the leaf only. That is our opinion. By
Il close eA"r--;natinn you will ind that
all curled leaves are covered on the I'M
der side with species of vermin very
much resembling the youngest and
smallest of those that infest bed rooms.
They seem to be as poisonous to the leaf
as the sting of a bee is to the flesh. The
idea that the trouble comes from the
root of the tree seems absurd from the
fact that there appears to be full and
vigorous flow of sap to all the branches,
so much so that the leaf continues to
grow for some time after the wound is
inflicted, and the trunk and branches re-
main as fresh and green as ever.-SheI-
by Union Banner.
We notice that great many peach
trees in this part of the country are dis
eased in a similar manner, and we will
be obliged to any body who will furnish
us receipt to cure it. Our peach crop
bids fair to be more extensive than COM
mon unless the trouble of which we
speak continues to spread, in which case
the crop will be cut short

s9- A few weeks ago every demo
cratic paper in the eountry-we mean
the copperheads-were denouncing the
ConsCrTpC raw UCCGu5C uTsyr4r.4.--s--
tion, as they alleged, in favor of the rich.
No sooner, however, does Secretary
Stanton announce an intention to disre-
gard the $500 clause of that law, than
most of the same papers denounce him
as an unprincipled scoundrel if he does
not enforce it to the letter If it turns
out, in the end, that the clause is en-
forced, they will continue to abuse him
for insisting upon the enforcement, wht n
it was optional with him to ignore the
clause altogether. Now, will any one
tell US how these gentlemen are TO be
pacifed We suppose nothing short Of
public pap will stop their bawlihg.

How GEN. GRANT STARTED ON HIS
PRESENT CAMPAIGN.-The- Chicago Til
bune learns from a gentleman who par
ticipated in the recent campaign of Gen.
Grant, up to the time the enemy crossed
the Big Black in the retreat towards
Vicksburg, that in starting on the move
ment the General disencumbered HIM
self of everything, setting an example
to his officers and men, He took Meth
er horse nor a servant, overcoat nor
blanket, nor ent,snor camp-chest-not
even a clean shirt. His only baggage
consisted of toothbrush He shared
all the hardships of the private soldier,
sleeping in the front and in the open air,
and eating hard tack and salt pork. He
wore no sword, had on low-crowned
citizens hat, aud the only thing about
him to mark him as a military man was
his two stars on his undress military
coat. On the battlefield he was omni-
present, riding everywhere, generally
alone, into the very thickest of the fight,
inspiring the troops by his imperturbable
GOODNESS and bravery.-Lou Democrat
How in the mischief could he ride
everywhere without horse? We do
not doubt that he took horse with him,
as well as several chews Of tobacco.
