COMMISSIONER.

The Editorial Convention of the
Twenty Fifth Congressional District
met at Brookville, as per announce
ment, on the Oath inst. An organiza-
ton was effected by the election of
James b. Sansom,, of the Indiana
Democrat as Chairman, and F. A.
Weaver, of the Brookville Republican
Secretary. The following resolutions
were reported by the committee:
WHEREAS, The editors of this Con-
gressional District have assembled to-
gether for the first time since the crea-
tion of our district, for the purpose of
forming a better acquaintance with
one another, and cultivating more
friendly spirit of intercourse and pro.
lection, do hereby resolve
1st. That we will hereafter, in the
discussion Of all questions which come
before us in our capacity as editors,
avoid the asperities of journalism by
declining to indulge in Objectionable
personalities.
I'd. That we deem the amendment
proposed by the Constitutional Con-
vention, on the subject of libel, as in
sufficient to protect the press in a
proper discharge Of its duties to the
public.
Sd. That the Constitution should be
so altered, that an editor may make a
defense when prosecuted for libel, and
the case decided on its merits by the
Court, as under the Constitution in
New York, Illinois and other States.
4th. That the act of the last Con-
gress requiring postage to be paid on
papers published in the county and
exchanges, was uncalled for, improper
and unnecessary, and should be re-
pealed, and that the power Of the
press should be brought to bear oil
Congressman to secure this result.
After full and free discussion o
the resolutions, they were unanimous
ly adopted.
A motion that this Convention b'
organized in permanent association
and meet annually hereafter, and tha
permanent committee of three b.
appointed to make arrangement fo
the next meeting, and select plae'
for holding the same was adopted, anc
S. A. Smith, II. B, Brown and J. P
George were appointed said committee
The Convention then adjourned t.
meet at the call of the chairman o
The permanent committee.

THE NEW FIVE DOLLAR NOTE.

The plates for the new five dollar
national bank note have been COM
pleted at the. Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, Treasury Department,
and the work of printing the new
issue will be commenced in week or
ten days, though they will not be
ready for circulation for month or
six weeks. The new note will be one
of the hands0mest ever issued by the
government, its general appearance be-
ing far superior to the old one. The
size is the same as the present note,
but in the left-hand corner instead Of
the representation of Columbus dis
covering America, there is vignette
head of Rufus King, one of the first
United States Senators from New
York. In the right-hand end of the
note, instead of the representation of
Pocahontas and Smith, there is neat
piece of geomatrical lathework, with
the figure 5 engraved on its face in
white. Beneath this the seal Of the
United States in green. At the top
of the note are the words "Circulat-
ing note-National currency" in Ro-
man letters, and forming a curve. The
other lettering of the note is as fol-
lows: "The National Bank in the City
of -, will pay five dollars on de-
mand. -, Cashier; -, Presi-
dent" and beneath this the words
Secured by United States bonds, de-
posted with the Treasurer of the Uni
ted States-F. f. Spinner, Treasurer
of the United States John Allison,
Register of the Treasury" On the
note the signitures of the bank officers
appear in the center of it, instead ol
al The bottom as in the old one, and
the names of the Treasury official;
are at the bottom, that Of General
Spinner being at the right instead o.
lie left. At the top of the new note
on the right hand side, above the lathe
work, the names of the city and State
wherein the bank is located will ap'
rear. Much of the lettering on the
lace of the old note is ommited from
The new one, and put on the back IN

On Monday last serious acci-
dent occurred to a man named Lovel
Osborne, at Rockwood's Mills, q few
miles east of Union City. The man
was working about tramway on which
cars laden with lumber were passing,
and in some unexplained way got jam
med between one of the cars and q
board pile or some other obstruction.
The man was caught just above the
abdomen, compressed within a space
of three inches in depth, and pinned
in that position until the car could be
unloaded and pushed away from him.
When finally extricated he was sense
less and breathless, his eyes protrud-
ing and face black from the suffusion
and compression of blood; one thigh
broken and numbers Of minor bruises
and contusions. Dr.. Greenlee, Of
Union City, was Immediately summon.
ed and treated the case with his GUS
tomary skill, to such good purpose
that the man is in fair way to recov-
er from injuries which were unani-
mously pronounced fatal Times.

We have learned that an old gen.
tleman named Phalin, living in Elk
county, short distance from the JEFF.
ferson county line, was killed by a
man named VIM. Blumley in his own
yard, on Saturday evening last. A
difficulty had occurred on the road be-
tween Phalin, Blumley and three 9th
er men while returning from the dele
gate election of the township, which
was thought to be over, when Phalin
reached his own house. Such, how
ever, was not the case, as Blumley
and his three companions soon return
ed, when fight ensued, during which
Phalin had his skull broken with q
club in the hands of Blumley and
died in about an hour afterwards. The
three companions of Blumley one o.
which is his son have been arrested
but the principal of the disturbance
and the man who struck the blow was
at last accounts still at large. Brook

face, one at either end of the cycloidal
work.
The back at the note is of very
neat design, bordered by an elaborate
scroll work, with the word give" in
each corner. In the centre is CLASH
cal figure representing. America and
beneath this the words, "This note is
receivable" etc. Another feature of
this note will be the numbering panel
on the face, beneath the vignette of
King. The background Of this panel
is so arranged in fugitive colors that
any attempt TO alter the number will
mutilate the whole. The bank num-
Der will appear on this plate, and the
Government number upon the back Of
the note in blue figures.

A MINORITY PREs1DENr.-The World
goes into full analysis of the vote that
elected Gen. Grant, to prove him mi
nority President, and gives the follow
ing conclusions as to the result:
l. Over hall, a million. Of Democrats
declined % vote for Mr.. Greeley.
2. Five million one. hundred thous-
and of the legal voters of the United
States did not endorse President Grant
at the polls, being a majority, active
and passive, against him of one million
five hundred thousand.
3. President Grant carried but one
State (Vermont) by majority of the
whole number of legal votes.
4. The late election went by default,
Grant receiving majority of the cleo
toral vote because there was no candi-
date in the field upon whom the oppo-
sition could unite.

One EFrEcr.-The agitation of the
Postal Telegraph scheme by Congress
has already effected one important re-
suit, reduction of from 30 to so per
cent. upon their old rates for. messages.
The Western Union company are max
ing superhuman efforts to defeat the
measure, by all the tricks of lobby infu-
ence. The reduction is but to effect a
lull in the breeze of popular sentiment
favoring lower rates. If the measure
is successful, it will be the first that has
withstood such a powerful pressure
against it.
