DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
Farmers and Tax Payers Versus
the B0ndIeiGerS.

We published, q short time since, very
canded and honest letter from Captain
Blake, Of Goshen, Elkhart county--a life
long Republican, which that gentleman
gave most potent reasons for leaving the
rotten and corrupt hulk of radicalism, and
joining the great Democratic army fight
ing with the ballot for one Union, on God,
and one currency. We were glad to well
come Sir. Blake 20 our party, for his well
known integrity Of character, as well as
his eminent legal attainments, enable him
to WELD powerful influence in the Tenth
Congressional District. and indeed all
Though the north part of the State, by
means of which many of the devoted fol-
lowers Of strange gods" have been and are
being redeemed, aud will help to swell the
majority which eur noble "Hoosier State"
will give to the friends Of the poor man in
the coming elections.
Since we hadthe pleasure of welcoming
Mr.. Blake as member of the great Sey-
mour and Blair army of victory, we have
for our own satisfaction made some calcu-
lations, which we now present for the
benefit Of our readers, and ask the Journal
man to "crack," for the consolation of
what few radicals he has left in his cor
rupt, bondholding party. We can vouch
for the substantial accuracy of our figures:
We have public debt, in bonds held
by the capitalists of the country, of about
32,5O0, 100000, on which we pay yearly
interest of $50, 600, 900, in gold, or near
~ s210,O00,0OO, in the soldiers and poor
mans money. Now, this interest, being
onee paid, never comes back to the poorer
apple, for it goes directly into the hands
Df the bondholders, no one of whom has
my sympathy for the laboring masses of
ihe country; and so far as the people are
concerned, 1t is then the same as though
. was on compound interest.
Making our calculations from this basis,
Fs find that we poor men will have paid
o these bondholders, in the short period
f six years, 81 DAG, 297, $50 as interest on
y-an amount nearly equal to one-half of
II their bonds, and yet the bond debt will

BURNING OF The GoLDFINCH.-

BURNING OF THE -UOLDFINCH--
About 10 o'clock last night an alarm
of fire was sounded BY steamboat
bell It was some time before
the alarm was taken up by the engine
house bells. It proved to be the
steamer Goldfipch on FIRE. She had
returned from picnic excursion to
Green River, and had dropped down
to the bank little below where the
Indiana Mills used to stand,
How the FIRE originated we have not
learned, but before the alarm was
given in the city all her upper works
were enveioped in flames. The en-
gines got down to the vicinity of the
fire, but, for lack Of hose or some
other cause, could do no effective
service. The scene was one Of grand
butsad magnifcence. The wind blew
off the shore, and the burning boat
laid straight out in the stream, while
the flames shot high in the air. At
tempts were made to souttle the boat
by cutting with axes through her bow,
but it proved unsuccessful. For an
hour she burned. and as the upper
works fell. her hull presented scene
of terrific beauty, being one mass Of
glowing embers. while the boilers,
still full of water, were blowing off
steam at wild rate.
After it had burned for nearly an
hour, one of her chimneys topped
over, but the other stood firm for
some ten minutes, when they came
down with a crash, one Of them fall
ing overheard.
The Phantom laid about the length
of the Gold6neh below her, but the
wind blowing of shore, she vas saved
and dropped down out of danger.
We were unable to assertion how
the FIRE originated, or whether or not
the boat was insured. She was valu-
ued at $4,000, and belonged to Capt.
Karr. This is the third boat burned
at or near our wharf within the last
three mouths.

A POISONOUS INsEcT.-We noticed
sometime since, in a Louisville paper,
an account of a man who was suffer
ing seriously from the bite of a small
black insect, on his hand from which
serious apprehensions were enter
tanned. We saw man on the wharf,
a day or two ago. who had on the day
previous been bitten on the hand by
an insect, similar to that described
in the Louisville paper. and in less
than tweAty-fosr hours his hand was
swollen to twice its usual size or thick
ness, and was exceedingly painful.
We aprrehend the insect had been
feeding ON the pestilential filth that
has accumulated on the wharf, and
had thus inspired itself with virus,
which it impaired to the mans hand.

To BE REGRErTED.-We regret to
learn from reliable source, that the
city authorities do not propose to take
any active measures for the abate-
ment of the wharf nuisance, the pes
tiIential smell that sickens all whom
business or inclination calls to Water
Street. They have, we are told, ar
rived at the sage conclusion that in
time the river will rise and wash away
the mud deposited by the last rise,
and with it the villainous smell that
now offends and disgusts all who go
within a square of the river. Their
theory seems to be si1siiis sinsi1ibus,
cHrdtWr, that if one rise of the river
deposits mud upon the wharf, the
next rise will wash it of. The theory
is not a just one, but if the wharf
were thoroughly cleansed, they would
need no further care till next Spring.
But if it were necessary to clean the
wharf once a month, the trouble and
expense would be nothing compared
to the damage that may be done by
the pestilenee and sickness likely to
be engendered by the miasmatic
breath these reeking piles of mud and
rotting debris give forth The wharf
paid revenue last year of SIS, 900 to
the city. One per cent of that sum
judiciously expended will keep the
wharf clean.

The Misunderstanding to the
old sign Of the position of the new
moon, this should be dry moon.
As generally interpreted. if the moon,
on its first appearance, hangs with
one point down, the weather viii be
dry, as it is supposed that it can hold
no water. We noticed that the pres
emit moon when new, stood with its
point well down to the horizon, but it
has been by no means a dry moon.
We have had two severe storms, ae-
companied by much lightning and
some hail. Yesterday morning there
were 1mminent signs Of raip. OThe
clouds were heavy, dark aud ominous.
The lurid lightning leaped in forked
tongues from cloud to cloud, or dart
ed in fery, streams towards the earth,
But the; storm passed to the south.
The forenoon was oppressively hot
and sultry, and the clouds lowered as
ifabouta to burst with a deluging rain.
In the afternoon it grew much cooler,
and Tor a time gave token of clearing
up. but towards night, dark, massive
clouds gathered in the north west, and
moved slowly towards the east and
south, lighted-up now and then by
brilliant lightning, and at 81 o'clock
heavy rain could be heard upon the
river and on the point beyond, while
in the city it rained but little. The
indications were, however, favorable
to q stormy. rainy night.
