REMOVING TaE CAPITAL.
Letter of Governor Baker.

Governor Baker declines to appoint
delegates to the Convention to be held
at Cincinnati. to consider the expedi-
ency of removing the Capital. The
following is his letter tc the Execu-
tive Committee:
INDIANAPOLIS, June 20, 1870.
John d. Cation, Esq. Chairman Executive
Committee, etc. ST. Louis, Missouri:
DEAR SIR-I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your COM
munication Of the 18th ult., enclosing
a "call for a Convention, to meet at
Cincinnati, on the 18th of October
next, for the purpose of considering
the expediency Of removing che
Capital of the United States from
Washington City TO some point In the
valley of the Mississippi" and re-
questing me, in accordance with the
call, to appoint thirty-nine delegates
to represent the State of Indiana in
the Convention.
In reply, l beg leave to say that, in
view of the fact that the Convention
is designed to be a popular Conven-
ton, to the end that the delegates
may represent the opinions of the re-
spective communities from which they
come, it is my judgment essential that
these appointments should be made
By the people. In conformity there
fore to a practice, which / have uni
formly observed in similar cases.
respectfully decline to appoint dele
gates to the proposed Convention,
thereby leaving the people of my State
free to act in the matter in such man.

I have the honor, &C.,

Governor of Indiana.

We announce, by authority, in this

L. Laird, OF Rockport, as a candidate
before the Convention for nomination
as Circuit Judge for the Fifteenth Ju-
dieial District. Judge Laird has for
a number of years most creditably

in every way eminently qualified for
the Office he now seeks. and justly de-
serves this mark of recognition of his
long and valuable services in behalf
of the Democratic Party.-Net0 Hdr-

pasted over the wording of the remon-
STRANGE as to make it appear that the
names were signed to it. The whole
thing was cunningly devised, and but
for the usual caution of the Post Of
fee Department, might have resulted
as was hoped and intended by those
committing the forgery.
We give this incident as a fair
sample of the meanness of which the
leaders of the Democracy will be
guilty when their party may be bene-
fitted or their opponents correspond

will agree with us that nobody but
Copperhead sneak would have
thought of trick similar to the
above for the purpose of manufac'
turing party capital. The author o.
the forgery evidently saw, or though
he saw. in it an opportunity to Greats
dissensions among the Republican,
of the county, and could not resis
the temptation to do a mean thin
for the mere chance of iDjuring tn
party to which he was opposed. TIL

RIrty OoDDerhead Trick.

IF there is any depth of meanness
to which the Democracy will not de-
scend in order to secure party adj
vantage OF iDjure political opponent,
we are not aware of it. Misrepresen-
tation, fraud and all kinds of decep-
ton are considered legitimate and
honorable weapons of warfare by that
organization, and it seems that actual
forgery is not regarded as dishonora-
BILE where it seems to promise a party
advantage. An incident. related TO
us yesterday, suggests the above re-
marks, for certainly it was the mean
est and most despicable fraud that has
hitherto came under our observation.
Mr.. Jesse Lamb, an honorable and
upright man, and an unhinching Re-
publican, is Postmaster at Patoka.
He is an excellent officer and has dis
charged the duties of his position to
the satisfaction of all parties. But
some of the copperheads at Prince
ton, evidently dissatisfied with Mr..
Lamb, or anxious to raise rumpus in
the Republican party, prepared a Pc
tition and sent it to Washington, ask
ing the Post Office Department to re-
move Mr.. Lamb, on the ground that
he was inefficient, incompetent and an
opponent of the administration. This
petition was ostensibly signed by some
of the leading Republicans of Prince
ton, including such names as DR.. An
drew Lewis, Clerk r. NJ. j. Miller,
and others. The petition furthermore
recommended that Mr.. Lambs place,
in case he should be removed as re-
quested, be supplied by the appoint
ment of Wash. Graham, a colored
man Of Princeton. The whole pe-
tition was skillfully gotten up, land cal
culated to deceive. The Post Office
Department was taken by surprise,
but, with its usual caution, wrote to
General Veatch of this city, inquiring
the cause of dissatisfaction with Mr..
Lamb, and relative to the antecedents

By inquiry, General Veatch ascer-

ton to him, which was done. On
examining it, he found that the names

The Three Remedies. "SCHEEcH's Pun
