is charged against him, or any part of
it, the facts will appear in the trial.
This investigation he was anxious to
go into when the charges were first
made against him, but, for some rea-

trial. Until the trial occurs, common.
decency demands that no attempt be
made to prejudice the minds of the

There are decisions of the Supreme

But those decisions were not under
the Bankrupt act, and that may be

opening here to have the old State
sovereignty contest renewed in diff
ferent shape.

Carriers Address.

On Wednesday next the Carriers
of the JOURNAL viii present their
patrons with an unusually handsome
New Years Address. 1t was written
by GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND, the
distinguished lecturer and poet. 1t
will be printed in a style sufficiently
new and beautiful to make it worthy
a permanent place in every household.
We trust our subscribers will reward
the boys who have served them so
faithfully during the past year with a
liberality that will repay them for get
ting up so elegant an Address.

Workings of the Bankrupt Law.

The number of applications thus
far to be discharged under the Bank
rupt law, has by no means equalled
what was expected The act has,
however, lead to compromises in very
many cases where no proceedings un-
der it have beea taken, and in all
such cases the benifcent purpose of
the law has doubtless been accom-
plished. But the number of interest
ing and complicated legal questions
tow ich the act has given rise, has
not been overestimated. The New
York Times, on this subject, says:
One very important question,
which has yet to be settled, Is as to
the effect of bankruptcy proceedings
upon legal proceedings pending
against the bankrupt when he makes
his application under the Bankrupt
law This question, as will be easily
seen. IS a multifarious one. One cred
itor may have simply a suit against
the bankrupt, a other may have udg-
ment, another may have an execution
and levy under it, and yet another
may have Judgment secured on APP
peal. Are all these creditors to be
brought TO the same level, and all to
the level of the other cred
itors who have no security
whatever? Are the State courts and
their judgments to be set aside as of

An End of a BrOiI.

For some years past there has exs
listed In the old Fifth (Richmond)
District, a bitter personal feud be-
tween the friends and opponents of
Hon. GEORGE w. JULIAN, Con-
gressional Representative, in which
controversy the indianapolis Journal
has taken a prominent part. We are
glad to notice a disposition on the
part of our contemporary at the capt.
tai, to put an end to the quarrel,
which has resulted in no profit to the
individuals concerned, and no credit
to the party. A short time ago, the
Washington special correspondent of
the Journal, made some allusion to
Mr.. JULIAN, not in very good taste,
and calculated to reopen the war.
We notice, by a local paragraph in
the Journal, that DIR. JULIAN was in
Indianapolis, last Thursday. and on
Friday the following editorial dis
claimer appeared:
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-12-30
HOS. GEo. w. JULIAN.

In our Washington correspondence
a paragraph appeared In reference to
Hon. Geo. w. Julian, the member in
Congress from the Fifth District of
Indiana, the publication of which We
deeply regret. The letter came TO
hand late at night, and was passed
into the composing room without be-
ing seen by the editor of the journal.
We disclaim the intention of joining
in any personal warfare upon Mr. j,
and regret the publication of that
portion of the letter referred to.
1t is gratifying to know that the
Journal will not hereafter lend itself
to any personal warfare upon Mr..
j." We make no defense of Mr..
JULIAN, but we must, at this time,
deprecate any broils in the party,
and cannot too highly commend our
contemporary for its resolution. In
the approaching campaign we should
go into the contest united and harmo-
NOUS, and be prepared to direct all
our blows upon the common enemy.

would get down on their knees to them :

man had always been in power, and
would always remain in power IL they did
not gain it at the ballot. box. IL the Pc

delegates appeared, representing all parts
Of the State. Hon. A. Ii. II. Stuart, Of

In his address he said that this was not o

At the close OF the war we were assured
that, upon the repeal Of the Ordinance Of
Secession, the population Of the Confed,
crate debts, and the emancipation OF the
slaves, we would be restored to our rights
in the Union. Instead Of those promises
being fulfilled, the policy had been inau.
gurated to p lace the Southern States un-
der control OF the inferior race. We meet
to appeal 20 the North not to permit the
intliction Of this disgrace upon us-our
rights may be wrested from us. but ~e
will never agree to the rule Of an alien
and inferior race. We prefer the rule Of
the bsyone..
