ELECT Coon MEN.-We again call
upon the taxpayers of this county to see that good
men are elected to the Office of Assessor, at the
approaching election. If incompetent men are
elected, they will remain hand for three years,
and there viii be no improvement in the mode of
assessing proporyj but if first class men are
chosen, they viii soon learn their duties, and by
the time the triennial assessment of 1874 comes
around, the property of the citizen will be judi
eiously rated and assessed, and something like
equality in taxation brought about,

ALLEGED FRAUDS IN INDIANA
The Democratic State Printer Ar
rested for Perjury.
pecial Dispatch to the Gin. Gazette.

Special Dispatch to the Gin. Gazette.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 20.
This city has been unusually ex-
cited to-day. growing out of the
announcement by the Journal that
Richard J. Bright, of the State
Sentinel, the organ of the demo-
cratic party, would be arrested to-
day for perjury in swearing to false
accounts as state printer, in order
to draw money illegally from the
state treasury. The democratic
state central committee, which had
been called to consider these char
ges against Mr.. Bright, with
large number Of prominent demo-
cratic politicians from all parts of
the state, are IN the city.
The committee met at tho resi-
dence Of Mr.. Alvord, the chair
man. Mr.. Bright was expected to
make an explanation of his con-
duct, but he did not do SO. He
was arrested and taken before
Charles Fisher, a justice of the
peace, and released on his personal
recognizance until Thursday, " hen
the the Trial will be proceeded
with.
The committee decided to take
no action in the matter until after
the legal examination is held.
Voorhees,, Coffroth and other
friends Of Bright claim that be has
been compelled to overdraw his
accounts in order to sustain his pa
per, and that at the end Of his term
! he will present clear balance
sheet; but Mathews, of the New
Albany Ledger, Kise, of the Vim
cennes Sun, and Stols, OF the Lig-
onier Banner, ask how will lie
avoid the perjury in swearing be
had furnished the paper TO the
state, and how will he answer the
false pretense of the state officials
who certified to his accounts and
paid him the money. 1t is said
theie was some sharp words be-
tween the Bright and anti Bright
rings. The editors of the state
: papers present say they are tired
OF being designated as "ring tailed
monkeys" by the state organ, and
that there shall be no whitewash-
ing: and if he is proven guilty he
f must he denounced and thrown
over by the party. The commit
tee, in order to cover up the pur.
; pose Of the meeting, passed res
olution putting ex-senator Hen
bricks on the track for the Presi
dency. aud resolving that there is
no division Of sentiment among
the democrats Of Indiana upon
that subject. Elk Senator Hen
bricks is said to have gone south
to look after his prospects in that
locality.
@In the case Of Mr. Bright, before
Justice Fisher, on Thursday last, the
Attornies for him, waived an examina-
ton, and he was recognized to Court,
giving bail for his appearance. The case
has assumed considerable importance, as
signifying what Democratic ECONOMY

On THE ANrEp1LUv1ANs 1T must have
been pl easant thing to be an Antedlluvian,
one the men who lived five hundred and sixty
and two years and begot somebody. Ante di-
luvian lite has its advantages. With lif e Of
hundred and sixty nine years before him, a
man could accomplish much. He could, by
personal observation, settle the oft.disputed
assertion that the pole-cat lives for two hun
dred years-he could, if Burns or Shake
spere, celebrate his own centennary-he could
be his own Oldest inhabitant, and could gaze
far along a vista of nine hundred years of
early green peas and spring chickens. When
time was meted by years, and, instead of
eight day clocks, they had eighty year chron.
ometers, man could enjoy the luxury of
laying in bed till September, or of going on
three years drunk. When bidding farewell
to bis family, he might say 'I'm just going
over to Methuselah's for tW enty years-don't
wait lunch" And the hoary grandsire of
ten centuries might permit his toddlng grand
son 10 go out to play until 1885, but be must
return then, and not keep his parents sitting
up for him. Life insurance would be cheap,
and the rate of interest, when men gave notes
for four hundred yeas, renewable for three
hundred more. and must have been accommo-
datingly low.
