County-seat War in Indiana.

The towns of Centerville and Rich
mond in Wayne county, Indiana, have
recently been engaged in little "un-
pleasantness" concerning the removal o.
the county-seat from the former to the
latter place, and, as the following des.
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial
will show, it has assumed the grave pro-
portions of real war, requiring the
interference of the State authorities for
its suppression:
RICHMOND, IND, 29.-The war over
the removal of the county seat from Cen
terville to this city was renewed last
night with vengeance. The contrac-
tor razing the old Jail there, having
found his derrick, guy-ropes, &C., cut
down the day before, put guard of seven
men about the building, last night, who
were attacked about IL o'clock by an
armed, mob, consisting of about forty
masked men, who demanded possession
of the building, and on being refused
commenced firing on the men through
the windows. The ceilings and walls
were mottled with bullets. but none of
the men were hurt Three of them
made their exit through back window
and hastened 10 this city to give the
alarm. The four remaining watchmen
kept possession of the building until
about O'Clock, when the mob planted
their howitzer in front of the jailor's
residence, which comprises the front
part of the building, loaded it with iron
slugs, bolts, nuts, &C., and let drive a
couple of times at the door, battering
it in. The mob then entered the hall
department, where they held out until
O'Clock and surrendered. The mob es-
corted them out of town and told them
to go "on to Richmond" In the mean
time about seventy-fve armed men were
on a special train hound from this city
to Centerville, where they arrived as the
mob re-entered the town, but in marching
up to the Jail not a mobocrat was to be
found. They had fed, leaving nothing
behind them but their howitzer, which
the men confscated and brought home
The men went to the residence of Alf
Lashly, one Of the ringleaders of the
mob, which is understood to be regu-
larly organized band of outlaws. and
searched it, but he was non est. Quite a
number of men remained all day to pro-
tect the laborers who went over about
s O'Clock to resume work, and this after
noon about thirty men, armed with mus
kets, pistols, &C., went over to stand
guard tonight, and the mob will get a
warm reception if they renew hostilities.
The people of this county have toler-
ated the warlike demonstrations made
by this mob until they perpetrate them
with impunity, but now there is to be a
change. They will have to desist, or
somebody is going to get hurt. The
men that are now detailed to protect the
contractor do so at the instance of tho
County Commissioners, and with the
arm of the law to protect them, they
propose doing their duty.

There are now about seventy Rich

Cesar Magruder took an active part in
the transactions of the "second Tuesday"
and that he was greatly interested in the
success Of Capt. Greiner. But all are
not aware that an interview took place
on that day between Cesar and our old
friend Pap Sh eridan,-which the latter
tells with much gusts. Caesar accosted
the old gentleman i'll this wise. "Afr.
Sheridan, for Gods sake, go and get
John Donly to vote" With some
amazement, Mr. Sheridan told him that
"John Donly had been dead for three
years" go, well never mind him, then,
but go for some one else" was Cesar's re-
ply as he hurried to another.
