THE cities Of indianapolis and La
fayette made great to DO :" over
the Howe Sewing Machine manufac-
tory which was looking out for west
ern location. Both cities cackled loud
and long over this wonderful addition
to their prosperity. The latest news,
however, is to the effect that the man
ayers of that manufact ory have select
ed Peru, q little village somewhere on
the Upper Wabash, as more eligible
location than either of the gaseon-
aiding cities aforesaid. Great expecta-
tions sometimes yield small profits.

GOLLADAY.-The defeat of this
champion Democrat in the nomina-
ting convention, shows that his con-
stituents were not so we'll satisfied of
his innocence in the cadetship busi-
ness as the Coarier Of this city. Ger
tainly if he was the victim Of radical
persecution and prescription, his con-
stituents ought to have stood by him
to the bitter end, and reelected him
by largely increased majority. We
guess they were pretty well convinced
that Golladay sold out the position,
and concluded to try Generalin the
rebel army in his place.

In the Mcfarland case yesterday after
noon, his counsel, Mr.. Spencer, narrated
in graphic style and with wonderful WV
idness the whole history of 1he case, de-
picting in the strongest colors the studied
cruelty of Richardson and the long suffered
and patiently borne wrongs endured by
Mcfarland. The evidence for the defense
was then proceeded with, the effort being
to prove that McFariands mind was dis
ordered.
The interest in the Mcfarland case
deepens as the trial progresses, and the
Court was again densely crowded, and
hundreds sought admission in vain. Mr..
Spencer opened the case for the defence,
and endeavored TO show that Mcfarland

Capt. A. Lee Ewing, the Republic

was a stay-at-home Democrat, who
lost few opportunities to denounce

it was owing to the defeat Of Captain
Ewing that the Courier was embold-
