DURING the FIVE years the Republi-
cans of Indiana have been in power
they have reduced the State debt more
than one-half, beside paying all the
war expenses of the State. And a
still more significant commentary is
the fact that since the close of the
war, by which the national debt was
created, the Republican Congress, by
its prudent management, has sue
ceeded In causing that debt to be
reduced s238.479.834. This has been
accomplished in only about two years
and a half. And during that time
the Republican Congress has also four
times modified the internal taxes, re-
ducing them, in the aggregate, about
t,oo hundred million dollars a gear.
These are substantial facts which
voters ought to ponder.

THE Kentuckian, published at Pa
ducah, is one of the most imaginative
papers with which We are acquainted.
1t says Gen. WEST. President of the
Mississippi Central Railroad, contem-
plates extending his road to Paducah,
" where it is to connect with the
louisville and Paducah, the st. Louis
end Paducah, and the Vincennes and
Paducah Roads" When it is remem-
bered that there are no such roads in
existence as the three last mentioned,
and hat the construction of bnly one
of them seems to be seriously con-
templated, the brilliancy of the edi-
tors imagination, which has so beau
tifully set them all in operation, can
be the better appreciated. We think
it a great wrong to eOnfne imacin-
atoms of sHch high order to the mo-
notonous routine Of editorial labor.
They ought to be grindng out sensa-
ton stories for the New York Ledger
or some other sensational weekly.

The Presidential Campaign of 1865
promises to be one Of the most inter-
esting and exciting in the history of
the country. The issues to be dis
cussed and determined by the people
are Of the greatest moment to the
peace and prosperity of the Nation.
It is highly important that the voters
be properly informed and thoroughly
posted on the political situation. The
most effective way to accomplish this
is to place in their hands a sound and
reliable Republican newspaper.
In order to enable the active Union
lei of Southern Indiana and Illinois
and Western Kentucky to secure for
the WEEKLY JOURNAL a wide
circulation in their respective neigh
b0rhoOds, we have placed the terms

THE Paducah Herald says the pros
poets for good crops in Ballard, Cal

Livingston, and Union Counties are
highly fattering. The wheat, in par
~ticular, looks fine, Notwithstanding it
is a little thin in some places. The
farmers are also making extensive
preparations to put in a good tobacco
crop. We are confident, from all the
information we can get, that a greater
breadth of ground viii be cultivated
this year in Southwestern Kentucky

The Sunday school Convention.

In giving expression TO the fact that
the New Albany Methodist Sunday
Schools were not represented in the
Conference Convention, recently held
in this city, we seem to have touched
the New Albany papers in a tender
spot. The Ledger explains the mat
ter as follows:
The JOURNAL is in errer in the
above statement. Rev. j.. j. Hight
and lady. and Rev. j. II. Clippinger
were sent from this city as delegates.
There were quite a number Of persons
who designed going, but unfortunate
ly there was no boat leaving on M0n-
day evening, as was anticipated, and
the Consequence was, the full delegf
tor did not go. Those who did e
went by rail. We feel satisfied that
it was the desire Of the Methodist
Sunday School organizations of this
city to befully represented 10 the Con-
v%entiOn, and believe that the delegates
above named did the organizations
which sent them infinite credit. The
encOmiums of the JOURNAL upon the
essay of Rev. j. j. Hight is sufficient
evidence that he did his duty as a
delegate, Notwithstanding it is claim
ed New Albany had no represents
tive. We trust the JOURNAL will do
New Albany justice in correcting its
statement.
We have no disposition to do New
Albany any injustice. Rev. j. J.
HIGHT and lady were regarded as
representatives Of the Neto Albany
District, and not of the New Albany
schools in particular. We did over
look the Rev. j. II. C~LTPPINGER, aud
cheerfully make confession of our
mistake, so far as he is concerned.
Bot if the Ledger takes a correct view
of the ease and assigns the true reason
for the absence Of all but one delegate,
how does it account for the following
paragraph, which we find in the New
Albany Commercial? We believe
the Local Editor Of the latter paper
is a kind of self-constituted, es-o6icio
representative Of Wesley Chapel ia
that city, and of course his utterances
are to be regarded with distinguished
consideration, whether he sneers at q
minister of the Church in an
adjoining city, or does his best to
damage n of its Sunday School Con-
yentions. The Commercial copies
paragraph, and comments as fol-
Well, JOURNAL, don't take it to
leart so seriously. New Albany, prob
IDLY, has not incurred any material
pack set by not being represented in
he Evansville Convention. Ia the
of the Convention, but one
# the five Methodist schools In New
was Tecognized-the oldest
md largest Methodist Sunday School
n the Conference was totally ignored.
Ne would advise your Sunday School
Managers, when they next get up q
programme for a Conference COnyen-
ion, to exercise a little more cour6-
y in its management, and probably
hey will have a larger delegation In
Tendance.
So it was not the scarcity Of boats
hat prevented the attendance of del
gates, but because all the schools Of
Jew Albany were net represented on
he programme, the oldest and largest
chool being entirely neglected. We
.ope the next Convention viii recog-
ize that school, # such a thing be
ossible, fully up to its estimation of
& owp merits.

prominent candidate for President Of

GEN. B. NJ. PRENTIss, of Quincy,

Gen. PALMER will be the man.
IT is quite certain that Hon. Z. G.

will receive the Republican nomina-
