The great issue before the people Is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
selt-government which our fathers enjoy
ed and which we Inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented bya ma
jority in Congress- have conspired to over
throw the free and beneflcent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of a despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local self-government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn Of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of county, or who is opposedto to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp Of
the Malignants. ...r-s! ..r,. g,ib

The NewInnd-Evans Cnse.

BEDFORD, IND, March 13.-In the case of
DR.. Benjamin Newland, indicted for the
murder of Prof Madison Evans, a change
of venue was taken to the Floyd Circuit
Court and the trial set for the Sth of May
next. The change was granted by Judge
Bicknell, on affidavit of the defense, that the
excitement was so great as to render it i'm
possible for the defendant to have fair
trial in the Lawrence Circuit Court. There
is a good deal of political feeling in the
matter here.
A very large number OF witnesses have
heen summoned, and there will be a heavy
array of legal talent on each side. All the
local attorneys OF Bedford have been re-
tanned for the defense, with r. w. lhomp-
son, of Terre Haute; Judge Joseph l.. Han
ma, of Sullivan; Cyrus Dunham, of Floyd,
and Paris G, Dunning, of Bloomington.
District Attorney Brown, Jonathan w.
Gordon, General Morton G. Hunter and
Moses Dunn are employed for the prosecu-
ton, which win be conducted thoroughly.
The most intense excitement prevails
throughout the community.
: General JEFF. Q. Davis is here. A warm
friendship exists between Davis and New
land. The latter was present at the time
General Nelson was shot in the Gait House,
at Louisville, and dressed his wounds.
-Newland was admitted to bail In the sum
of $4,000; DR.. Elijah Newland and Mr..
Menaugh, of Salem, and Henry $, P0nst0n,
Jesse A. Mitchell and Wnliam Ragstale, OF
this place, going on his bonds. .lnanl0l

Remarkable Case-A Body Which
Was Been in the Vault for u
Month sill Warm. ".'

[From the Louisville Dcmocart March o.
The following is undoubtedly one of the
most remarkable cases that we have heard
of, and is creating considerable excitement
among parties who have witnessed what
we are about to relate On the 5th OF Feb.
last, Michael King, about II years of age,
was killed, at Oakland, by being struck on
the head with stake, which was drawn
from the ground by an unruly horse. Two
days after the fatal accident, and when the
body was about to be buried, the relatives
of King thought that they noticed evident
signs of lite, and the body was removed to
the house, where it was kept for several
days. A report got into circulation at the
time, to the effect that the boy had come to
life. After keeping the body several days
it was removed to the lower graveyard and
placed in vault, where it now is, and it
has been visited by hundreds of our citizens.
The body retains its natural appearance,
ard is timber and warm after being dead
and In the graveyard one month. Wehave
heard no reason assigned for this strange
phenomenon. .s -.F .. .t.,.-f

Finances OF The City.

Your city debt is in round numbers $3.50,
900, 100000 of which does not matur,

in 1868. The balance, SEA, $50, is now due
and must be funded, or be otherwise ad
justsd.
To meet this Indebtedness, the city owns q
subscription to the stock Of the N. G. 4 L
Railroad, of 1000; bridge and fran.
chises worth $4,000; an available balanc,
Of unsolicited taxes and other claims, o
81 500; real estate, $4,000; Union Wharf

Of collection, belonging to the bridge, and
school, and other funds, $4,000, and an an.
nual tax or revenue list, of $4,000
The latter item, regarded in the light of an
annuity, which il Is, is equal to sum more
than double the whole city debt, and would
alone, in the hands Of an Efficient financial
agent pay 1t off, principal and interest, in
less than twelve years.
In the city finances, at present, there is
some embarrassment not SO much for want
Of means, as for want of management. And
the holders of the past due bonds and cou.
pons Of the city-disposed to be liberal, dc
not doubt-will be slow, or ready, to accept
hereafter, any funding propositions, in pro.
portion to the confidence they may have in
the ability Of your next Mayor and mex,

matters. Sound financial ability, on the
part of your Mayor, and close attention te

ensuing year, raise the city credit from it.

BETTER LET THE PAST ALONE.

General Dix, in his grafton on the
occasion of laying the corner stone
Of the Douglas monument, speaks of
il az one of the marvels of the age,
that the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama
and Florida abolished slavery in
Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware.
1t seems to US that the less Northern
politicians say about the manner in
which slavery was abolished, the bet.
ter it will be for the credit of the
North and Of the federal government.
The merest pettifogger knows that if
the Southern States were never out
of the Union, the President had no
more right to interfere with slavery,
in their limits, than he had to abol-
ish the use Of locomotives on North
ern railroads. And to impute merit
to the Southern States for ratifying
the constitutional amendment; is
about as sensible as to laud the trav.
eler for yielding up his purse to the
highway robber.
The North has been told, thou.
sand times over, that the South has
accepted the terms imposed, at the
point Of the bayonet, and there the
matter should be suffered to rest.
But SO long as the indisereet and
vain glorious northern politicians
will harp upon the results of the war,
and so pervert truth as to try to
make it appear that the South itself
admits the justice of its defeat, and
the great wrongs heaped upon it,
just SO long will the South defend its
cause and vindicate the Constitution
under which it claims the rights de-
MED and the justice withheld. Slave
ry has never been rightfully and con
stitutionally abolished, and no COM
peteut court would otherwise decide.
Nevertheless, it is abolished, and the
North will do we'll to accept the fact,
as it stands, and endeavor to bury in
oblivion the means employed to
accomplish the fact. The greater the
effort at elf,justi6cation, the more
obvious its guilt.
