A Louisville telegram of the 18th
inst, gives the following account of a
terrible affray at Taylorville, Ind:
A disgraceful shooting affair occur
red at Taylorsville, Warrack County,
Indiana, on Sunday, resulting in the
death of two, if not three, men, The
difficulty was between two men,
named Springston, on the one side,
and two named Clark on the other, in
which Harvey Springston was killed,
aud his brother Abe was so badly
wounded that he died soon afterward.
Harvey Springston was recently par
doned out OF the .Penitentiary. The
difficulty originated i'll dispute about
the settlement Of some accounts.
Shortly after the shooting number
of the citizens who compose a self
constituted Vigilance Committee pro-
ceeded, armed and equipped, to the
residence of Moss Rice, who had been
warned to leave the neighborhood by
the 10th inst, and fired several shots,
frightening him so that he cleared out
in hurry, leaving the neighborhood
The Springstons are said to belong to
the Vigilance Committee, ANOTHER
of the Rices, who had been warned tc
| leave, but paid no attention to the
warning, was found dead in the woods
near the town, (shoD; and the two
Whitinghills, father and son, who re-
fused to take any part, either for OIL
against the Committee, were also
warned to leave the neighborhood.
A terrible state Of affairs exists, and
law-abiding people seem to be par
aIyZed.

4 RACE FOR LIFE.
A Husband and Father Saves the Lives ,
His Family by his Presence of Mind.

A Husband and Father Saves the Lives of
His Family by his Presence of Mind.
On Sunday afternoon the Fort
Wayne Railroad Company sent a con-,
struction train up the road preparato-
ry to the commencement of work on
Monday morning, as is the usual Gus
tom. The engineer, anxious of course
to.make his Sunday work as short as
possible, rushed the train out of the
depot and around the curve to the
bridge at the top of her speed. Upon
arriving at the bridge, however, he
saw what caused him to reverse the
engine and apply the brakes with all
his force. A man, with his wife and
two children, were on the narrow por-
ton of. the bridge, where it is just
wide enough for the train to pass,
about midway ofits length of 600 feet.
Neither end could be reached by the
emperileI family before the train
would rush upon them but the father
and husband was equal to the emer-
gency. Taking the children in his
arms, he told his wife that he would
see to them, and babe her. run toward
the end Of the bridge until the train
should reach her, and then jump into
the water. She must run for her life,
as her safety depended upon her get
ting near enough to the shore to find
shallow water before being overtaken
by the train. She did as directed, and
when she felt the hot breath of the
iron monster she jumped from the
bridge; fortunately alighting in not
more than two feet of water and weeds
and the train passed her in safety.
But what of the father and little ones.
He could not run with them, and
while almost distracted with fears for
his wife's safety, he was bound to find
some escape for them. Taking the
little ones in his arms, he coelly and
steadily, in the face of the approaching
| train, lowered himself with them to
a brace beneth the bed timbers, and
there held them fast within few feet
of the water, while the train came
laundering over them. About the
time the engine reached the center
the exertions of the engineer and
brakemen effected the stoppage of the
train; and their assistance was rem
dered to extricate the frightened fam
/ lily from their perilous position, and
they went on their way thankful fol
their deliYerance.

PORTAGE COUNTY.

We republish our table of the votes
given in the several townships of Por-
tage county for Governor at the late
election, corrected from the official
abstract in the Clerks Office. It will
be seen that the majority for Hayes in
this county, instead of being 1057, as
our table showed last week, is, by the
official count, but 972, being So less
than Hayes majority in the county in
1867. The Democracy of Portag e
county have done their full share to-
wards redeeming the State, but not as
we'll as might have been done by a
thorough and efficient organization
and by active and earnest efforts. In
those townships where the Demo-
Gratis have been thoroughly organized
and been the most earnest in their eff
forts, the result shows marked Dem
ocratic gain. Let our Democratic
friends in every township, right on
the heels of this defeat, go to work to
organize for another conflict:

American Observation-Disclosures into

American Commerce-Investigat into
the Causes of its Decline.
The Congressional Committee on the
causes of decline in American COM
merce held their first meeting on
Thursday, in the New York Custom
House. a committee from the New
York Ship Owners Association was
in attendance. The marine ship build
ing interest wasrepresented by Messrs.
Hayden and Hitchborn. On the part
of the New York Ship Owners Asso-
ciatlon statements and arguments were
submitted to prove that the remedy for
the low condition of American ship
ping interests is in the repeal of the
navigation laws, and in permitting
American ship owners to buy ships in
England or any other foreign country,
which they are now prevented from
doing by the prohibition of American
registry to foreign built vessels, and
that the amendment of the internal
revenue laws, so as to allow ship stores
I to be obtained free from duty, as in
Great Britain, would enable Ameri-
can ship owners to compete it the car
rying trade with foreign vessels. They
advocated incidentally the allowance
OF draw back TO American ship build
ers on materials used in ships, and
agreed that thus, in a few years, Ameri-
can ship builders would be able to pro-
duce either iron or wooden vessels as
eheaply as they can now be produced
on the Tyne or Clyde, while free trade
in ships would give immediate relief
to American ship owners, and prevent
the monopoly of the carrying trade by
foreigners. On the part OF the Maine
ship building interests the argument
was that the only remedy needed was
the allowance of drawback, and that
to agree to the proposition of the New
York Ship Owners Association for
free trade iii ships would be the finish
ing blow to the ship building interests
of the country. The deliberations of
the committee will extend over a
month, and report embodying the
results of their investigations will be
presented to Congress early in De-
cember. They will probably recon-
mend the repeal of the law forbidding
re-transfer of vessels placed under
foreign flags during the warby Amer
lean ship owners, and re-enactmeDt of
the law rendering it necessary that
vessels bearing the American flag
should have at least three-fourths of
their crew American citizens. .f-

Attempt al Robbery On a Steamboat-A
Desperate Adventure in the Dark.
Mr.. n. 4. Dour, of New York, do
ing business in the West, had arather
thrilling adventure the other morning,
on the steamer Ben. Franklin, on the
way up to Cincinnati from Louisville.
AT the hour mentioned, while qui
city sleeping in berth of his state
room, he awoke suddenly and instant
ly became conscious that he did not
occupy alone the partially darkened
space of his little room. He could
hear partially suppressed breathing !;
he experienced choking sensation.
and, all in an instant of awakening, he
detected the odor of chloroform. He
did not start or shudder, in the terror
of the moment, until his eyes took in
the outline of form hanging over
him, and he felt that hand was hold
ing something to his mouth and nose.
Then he started up quickly, reached
under his pillow for his pistol. and
with his left hand caught a muscular
arm, that instantly clutched greedily
at his throat. simultaneously with
these movements he saw the flash of
steel in the air over his head. That
was sufficient. He didn't want TO feel
the cut or thrust of bowie, so he
sank back on his pillow, like corpse,
and made no stir or sound until he
saw the robber burst through the door
out to the guards, and then he raised
a war wmoop. The watchman and
lights were at hand Immediately, and
search was made for the intruder
This search was unsuccessful, how
ever, as he had slowed himself away,
probably in his own stateroom. Up
on examining his shirt, Mr.. Bour
found slit in the front, where the
thief had commenced to cut away a
diamond cross pin. On the floor was
a small sponge, that had evidently
been saturated with chloroform. Mr..
Bour considers himself fortunate in
having escaped, not only the robbery,
but the knife.

General rhomus, Report on Alaska

General George II. Thomas having
thoroughly inspected oor new Russian
purchase, makes a report to the War
Department that has but little romance
about it. A Washington dispatch to
the Leader says that he thinks the
principal If not the only present value
of our new territory is the effect its
transfer to us will have upon loosen
ing the hold of England upon British
Columbia. He thinks that the send
ing Of revenue and other civil officers
there is a useless expense, as the only
benefit will be to those who draw sal
aries. The expenses supplying them
are enormous and the expenses of
keeping up the civil service will very
far exceed the revenue collected.
The Territory was constant bur-
den to Russia and she held it at great
expense simply for the benefit of the
fur company. There is no probability
ofany emigration in that direction as
there is not the slightest inducement
for any. No mines of valuable min
erals have been discovered which it
would pay to work. There is plenty
OF timber and coal but plenty of as
good quality and easier of access can
be had thousond miles south of the
territory. There has baen no change
in trade on the part of our merchants.
The few houses engaged in it before
the purchase still continue. The fur
trade of the interior m ust continue to
be carried OH by natives. AS all agri-
cultural region it has no value what
ever. Grain cannot be raised, and the
few vegetables that can be produced
rot if not used within few weeks.
Stock raising cannot be carried on.
The superabundance of'rain and great
lack of sun preclude the idea of any
profitable cultivation of tho soil.

OUTRAGEs IN FLoRIDA.-Advices
were received at Washington on
Thursday last of assassinations and
outrages in and around the town of
Mariana, Florida, where it seems that
the execution of the laws of the State
is at present almost impossible. From
the 22d ultimo to the 4th instant, some
half dozen eold-blooded murders
have been committed, and assassina-
tions are the order of the day. Flori-
da is one of the States reconstructed
after the Radical plan, which they say
is the sure road to peace. "Let us

THE RESULT IN OHIo.-Hayes and
the entire Radical State ticket is elect
ed, but by exactly what majority is
not yet known. The Radicals do not
claim over 5000. They claim both
branches of the Legislature-the SEN
ate by one majority and the House by
two. lin this two Of the Senators and
five of the Representatives elected on
the Reform ticket, and against whom
the Radical press and stumpers were
even more violent in their abuse than
against the Democrats, are counted
with the Republicans. 1t is doubtful
whether they can be relied on to go
with the RAIDS for their extreme par
ty measures.

The Yarger Case.

A Washington special Of the 17th
inst, says bal aE."2
The application of Edward M. Yer
ger for the writ of hd6eds corpus, ar
gued before the Supreme Court of the
United States last Friday, will proba-
bly, be partly disposed of tomorrow.
The points presented by the Attorney
General against said application on
the general ground that the case does
not come within the jurisdiction of
the Court have awakened the iveliest
interest among the members of the
Bar. The Chronicle to-day, editorial
ly, thinks that the Court will grant the
writ, and thereby declare the acts of
reconstruction unconstitutional, and
adds that If this be done grave duty
will devolve upon the Executive.
Dispatches of the 18th, say:
On Monday the Supreme Court
room was filled with lawyers and otll-
ers interested in the decision of the
case, but the Court did not make any
decision, and it is announced that the
decision will not be made until next
Monday, when it will certainly be an
nouced.
A Washington special says: The
Republicans profess to know that the
decision will be adverse to the consti-
tutionality of the reconstruction laws,
and that the Judges will stand five to
three-Greer, Swayne and Miller be-
ing against the jurisdiction of the
Court in the matter. This feeling is
best illustrated by the Chronicle
which prays that Congress might be
in session and cooperate with the
President to save the reconstruction
of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
and to put the Supreme Court in q
position not to render nugatory the
laws to restore the reyolted States te
the Union.
