The Corydon Democrat is a val
liable Democratic paper. When
the Ohio. river is frozen up, it res
sorts to what is known as the
grapevine telegraph for reliable
news. It has learned that the pro.
prietors OF the Journal were sued
on charge of abslracting money
from the State treasury, and that
the States counsel suffered a non
suit because there was no proof to
sustain the charges. 1t dishes up
the news to its Democratic sub
scribers, and adds that the result
was brought about by the corrupt
rulings Of tho court Judge RAND,
of the Superior Court, before
whom the case was heard, is and
has always been, a Democrat. The
rulings of the court had little to do
with the case. After putting in all
their evidence, the Attorney Cen

they had made no case, and vol

PUBLISHED IN THE STATE.

The State and Presidential Campaigns al
1872 will DO the most important, in many re-
spects, in which tho two great political art:es
now in existence have ever been engaged.
The Democracy are making insidious efforts
to obtain the control Of the National Govern.
mapt, and it is essential that the people be
kept thoroughly appraised of their movements,
rs well as of the claims of the Republican
party to . continuance of. the confidence
which has been reposed IN it for the last
twelve years.
In the State the issues will be very import
ant they will comprise the questions Of po.
litical honesty and economic government !;
whether public servants can pros titute tho
public funds to their own private use, thus
corrupting the service, and making out Of
the State Offices mere places of pelf for
plunderers. The people will be called upon
10 decide whether the crimes and blurders Of
| the Democratic party shall be fastened upon
| the State for another term. The corruption
and imbecility of the last Legislature has beer
by-word Of reproach ever since it closed il
| session. Every reform measure demanded BY
the people, and promised BY the Democracy
failed of passage by that body, and its history
is as infamous as that of any General Assem-.
bly, which has ever disgraced the ANNALS o
Legislation. The people are to pronounc,
\ judgment upon all these matters, aud Il 4
essential that they be thoroughly prepared 4
render q Just verdict. ss

Lecture Of Mrs, Huddleston.

This estimable lady, who resides
in Cincinnati, lectured in Friends
Meeting House, under the auspi--
ces Of q committee of the members
of that meeting. on Thursday night
last. Her subject was. w oman's
Mission in the Church. Her lee
ture was meinly devoted to por<
traying the difficulties she herself
had to encounter, as typical Of the
tronbles and vexations besetting
her sex, in laboring in behalf of
the Master, in preaching and teach
ing the Word, and in extripating
{ sin from the world. Il was good
lecture, we'll fortified from the
Word snd we'll read. 1t was
we'll rccei 1ed by crowded house,
who, we think, with very rare ex
ceptions would be willing to say to
the fair pleader for equal service
in the church: whatever you CT
your Christian sisters find to do
do it with all your might" and
blessings cannot fail to follow.

The New York Tribune is inn
pressed with q mighty conviction
that the late liberal Republican
convention in st Louis was pro-
digious affair. It may be remark /;
cd in this connection that the es-
innate the Tribune places on tn .
assemblage is quite at vaaianc Q
with that Of the st Louis Demo-
crat, and So far as numbers go,
with that of the St. Louis Repub-
lican. The Democrat says that its
Importance was largely overstated
by an imaginative agent OF the As
sociated Press. One thing is GER
tain. that the most prominent men

TRYING IT AGAIN.

Once ailinp lie on the editor of the Julian
Radical, does not seem to answer the purpose.
no matter how many times it is denied, he
still Teiteratss it. Having adopted the idea
that - lie we'll stuck too is as good IS the
truth, j." he seeks every opportunity to "stick'
to Il. We allude to the oft-told and Oft
refuted ASSERTION that the Cincinnati Gazette
''sent ito emissary, Woodward, to meet Judge
Wilson at this place to concoct the bogus af-
Adavit conspiracy" Judge Wilson, prompt
" at The time, the charge was made. sent a
positive denialof it to that editor, who pub
lished II in his paper. If such brassn-faced
lying, comprises the capital stock to be used
against Judge Wilson, the people will SEQ to
it that ample justice will be done him, BY
again re-nominating and re-elect:ng him to
the post he now occupies.

PRESIDENT MAKING.

The Washington corrsspo ndent Of the N.
Y. Tribune, in three column letter, reviews
the political situation touching the Presiden-
tial question in a very moderate, not to say
weak, manner. For while the writer seeks
to make all the possible points against the
reorganization of President Grant, the result
Of his interviewing Senators and members Of
Congress. in every instance, is the assur ance
that Grant will be renominated and reelected.
Even those gentlemen who think there are
other men rs strong before the people as
President Grant are unable to name them.
And so, while the Tribune CORE spondent
spreads himself over vast deal of paper to
show that President Grant ought not to be
reuominated, he succeeds in demonstrating
the fact that he is the choice Of politicians
and people, and that, therefore, his renomin-
alton and reelection are a fo.egons conclu-

an establishment where they furnish the ever
joyful. He took SO much of the "critter"
that his VISION became fudd led, and when
about two miles from town, he took particular
pains to leave the road and run over stump
turning his wagon-bed upside down. Being
near house, he got his bed put on and start

stumps, &C., until near home he again en-
countered stump that capsised him, and left
his bed and grinding till morning. Not being

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The Philadelphia Press (Col, Forneys
journal J, of the 18th, has the following:
"The subject of specie payments and tie
possibility Of Congress enforcing them at an
enrly day continue to be pi ointment topic of
conversation. The general impression re-
mains the same, however, and that Is, that
it would be inexpedient 20 legislate the coun-
try into resumption and all the evils attend
ant upon it il forced. This prevailing tone,
and its very general expression, has had much
influence at Washington, and tn, prospect is
that nothing will be done to precipit the
country and its vast industries into violent
disturbance"
These are the views We have repeatedly ex-
pressed in these columns, aud we believe they
are those Of nine-tenths Of the entire people
of the country. Experiments on the cur
reucy are at any time hazardous. They
would, however, be most especially SO at the
time when the nation is on the eve OF . great

OF the Treasury is INDICATED against the

ton, that he had increased the public
debt, and incurred illegal expenditure.
The motive Of Mr. Cox, in moving the
investigation, was to injure Secretary
BOUTWELL,, but there is no capital in his
little partisan scheme. He has acted
strictly within the law in placing the

accomplished it in manner that would

see tho benefit that Uncle Samuel

them so much, that they would
lose the incentive of the almighty

From the Lafayette Journal Of Yesterday.
1t is great pity that more in
terest can not be awakened among
the conductors Of the rural press
Of Indiana in the State Press As
sociation. The last meeting Of
THE body, in May, was one of the
most successful ever held IN the
State, and We do earnestly hope
is the forerunner Of better days
for the press of Indians. The
profession will not be revolutions
zed in one or two meetings, but
great deal of benefit can be de
rived, a. well as q great deal Of
pleasure from an annual or semi
annual meeting Of all the journal
lists Of the State. If nothing bet
ter were accomplished, tho social
advantages to be derived from
such reunion would amply repay
all for the trouble and expense of
attendance. A thorough personal
acquaintance among gentlemen of
the press in Indiana would do
much to soften the asperity so in
cident to journalism, and raise the
. press Of the State very considers
bly, in manner and matter. The
genuine good feeling bred Of such
intercourse would undoubtedly
tend to do away with the person-
ality so offensive to good taste and
unworthy Of the profession. But
from the discussions and sugges-
tons of such a meeting mucf
wonld be evolved Of practical
benefit to ell. We hope yet to SCI

together in strong and prosper
