bas~ On Thursday evening, says the
indianapolis Journal on the 18th ult.,
a murder was committed at Fortville,
Hancok county, q short distant from the
city, on the Bellefontanc road, which
is horrifying in its details, and more 50
from the fact that it was committed for a
sum Of money less than SIS in amount.
John A. Messler, well.to-do bachelor
farmer, in that neighborhood, was found
in his barn on Friday afternoon with q
bullet hole in his head, and dead upon
the barn floor. 1t is supposed the murder
was committed on Thursday evening, as
he was last seen then, and the fact that
he lived alone accounts for the body not
being found until Friday. The murderer
or murderers, had first shot him through
the head with rife, the ball entering
over the left eye and leaving the head inst
behind the right ear. A stake was then
used to beat his brains out, after which
the house was ransacked, and less than
S. worth of valuables secured Mr..
Messler was an Odd Fellow, and a gentle
man very highly respected in the neigh
borhood. The cause of death was undoubt-
edly desire to plunder his house but
who did the deed is not known, and sus-
picion points to no one. A despatch an
nouncing the murder was sent Friday
evening to Lieut. Stevens, of the police
force, who at once set detectives at work
looking up the case.

THE NEWS regarding the war in France
is quite contradictory. Dispatches from
French sources say that the attempts
to break through the Prussian lines
around Paris have been successful, while
Prussian reports say that the French at
tempt to raise the siege has been an en-
tire failure One thing however is sure,
and that is that during last Thursday
and Friday, terrible fighting has been
going on in the vicinity ofParis. A few
days will probably give us reliable news.

TIxBUcroo MANNERS IN WASHINGTON

~AA0o~AVo AANNAhS In WA6dANtAON
The New York Tribune thus alludes to
the festivities in Washington on New Years
Day:
Several of the young gentlemen of African
descent paid their calls in stylish eGuipage,
and found at several houses tables covered
with the most sumptuous repssts-and more
elegantly serred than could be found among
the anglo Saron race,
How exultinglyl Now, oh perturoio
spirit Of the late lamentable John brown,
cease thy "marching on" fold the wings OF
thy troubled soul, wander no more ; but rest
in eternal calm, for here, IN these words, Is
told the triumph of caste and conventional
tiles, which we canal appreciate Most
novel and interesting Radical millennium
Now, indeed, shall the waste places of the
District Of Columbia bud and blossom like
genuine African rose of unimpeachable
color and unu istakabs fragrance The
green bay trees are not to be compared to
the growth of Sambo in the social garden,
watered BY the classic Charles and his col
leagues. Unfortunate women of Caucasian
extraction, wife Of the President, wives and
daughters of Cabinet officers, grave Senators
and learned Representatives, and the lesser
whites, now learn manners. Send your
daughters to Timbuctoo seminsries that you
may dispense the usual New Years DAY,
refreshments, and as elegantly serve
your guests as the dark skinned beauties
aforementioned.

The Democrats Of Indiana show TO the
country that they hold distinct opinions with
frmness; and in the breadth and strength
Of their devotion to principle they fall be-
hind none OF their brethren. Their recent
Convention brought out their views in
shape which the Radicals of the State
ought to be satisfied with, at least for the
candor with which they are expressed. All
that is revolutionary in the proceedings of
Congress, the pettiness of false fnanc ial
theorizing, the attempt to take from the
people their control of suffrage qualihca
tions, and legislation in TIE interest of midi
viduals at the cost of the people-these are
the objective points of the opposition of the
Indiana Democracy, at which they direct
their united energies TO overcome and an
nahiIste them with the suffrages of an
aroused people. The spirit of the Democracy
at the Yves. was never more awakened and
and alive, and it pledges itself to worthy re
suits in the near future.
