Indiana GrauScrs.

The Changers Of Indiana, at recent
convention in indianapolis, determined TO
initiate a movement for The organization
of an independent political party, and
have issued call inviting the farmers
and industrial classes generally to meet
in mass convention in indianapolis on the
10th of june to devise ways and means
to emancipate the State from the evils
brought about by the misrule of party
politics. In the address issued by the
farmers they say that the old political or
CARNATIONS are corrupt; that there is no
faith to be placed in their promises and
that there are no questions a. issue which
ought to divide the citizens of lndi ma
while the people demand publication of
local, State and national politics. In n
curcular which they are distributing
through the counties they exhort the
people, irrespective of party, to meet in

Proposed amendments Of the
bankrupt Law.

Congress has got through the currcn-
cy question, and now, after little rest,
olher important interests are likely to
be brought forward and disposed of.
Among the questions which relate di>
rcctly to business affairs, the bankrupt
law is likely to have immediate and spe-
cial attention. The Senate, not being
disposed to favor the extreme views Of
the House, but willing, nevertheless, to
abolish odious provisions of the old law,
returned the bill passed by the House in
the early session, with amendments, the
principal of which are as follows:
First-to allow the assignee, when
"the interest of the estate, ms well Of the
creditors, would be promoted thereby"
to carry on the business Of the debtor
for nine months.
Second-To allow the real estate of
the debtor to be sold for one fourth cash;
tho remainder To be paid in three equal
annual instalments, with interest.
Third-To allow n discharge of the
debtor in ease of involuntary bankrupt
cy, irrespective of the amount of assets
or assent of creditors aud, in case Of
voluntary bankruptcy. where the assets
of the debtor equal thirty-thrce per cent
of claims proved, or, if not, with the as
sent of a majority OF creditors in num-
Der and amount.
Fourth-To allow forty days after
suspension Of payment, and to require
one-fourth in number Of the creditors
and one-third in the amount to apply
before an application of involuntary
bankruptcy.
Fifth-To allow majority in number
and three fourths in value of the credi-
tors to make settlement with tho debt
or. and take the case out Of bankruptcy.
providing, however. for pro rata equal
payment to all the creditors.
Sixth-To reduce the fees of marshals,
assignees, registers, etc, one-half of the
present allowance.
Scventh-To require each marshal,
assignee, register aud clerk of court to
make IA return annually to the Attorney
General, under oath, of the fees, costs
and emoluments received by them.
Eighth-To allow proof OF debts to
be made before Notary Public.

WHAT RUINED THE SOUTH.
ERN CONfEDERACY.


The rebel General Joseph +. John
ston has just Published work entitled
"a Narrative Of Military Operations
Directed During the late War Between
the States" lie shows that Jefferson
Davis interfered with his movements in
a very provoking way, and then attempts
To show that the South might have sue
cceied had it rightly managed its re-
sources. He says:
"a full treasury was necessary TO de
fray the expenses of a great war. The
South had the means Of making one. in
its cotton alone. But its government re-
jectcd thc-e means, and limited its fnan.
cial Efforts to printing bank notes, with
which the country was soon flooded.
The necessity of actual money in the
treasury, and the mode Of raising il.
were generally understood in the country.
II was that the government should take
the cotton from the owners and send il
4 Europe as fast rs possible, to be sold
there. This was easily practicable, for
the owners were ready TO accept any
terms the government might fix. and
sending to Europe was easy IN all the
first year of the Confederacy's existence.
Its government went into operation ear
ly in February. The blockade OF the
Southern ports was proclaimed in May.
hut not at all effective until the end of
the following Winter, so that there was
period of twelve months for the operation
of converting 100000 or 100000
bales Of cotton into money. The sum
raised in that way would have enabled
the War Department to procure at once
arms enough for 500, 900 men, and after
that expenditure the Confederate Treas
ury would have been much richer than
that Of the United States. BY applying
the first money obtained in this way to
the purchase Of arms and military accou.
trements, or using for the purpose the
credit which such an amount of property
would have given, the War Department
would have been able to equip troops as
fast as they could he assembled and or
ganired. And, as the Southern people
were full of enthusiasm, 500. 900 men
could have been ready and in the field
had such n course been pursued at the
time when the first hattie was actually
fought-the 2lst Of July, 1861. Such
force placed on the northern borders of
the Confederacy before the United States
had brought fourth Of the number into
the field, would probably have prevented
the very idea Of coercion" Such dis
position Of such an army, and the pos
session of financial means of carrying on
war for years, wonld have secured the
success of the Confederacy.
The timely adoption OF such fnan-
cial system would have secured to us the
means Of. success even without an extra
ordinary importation of arms and the
immediate organization of large armies.
But after the Confederate currency
had become almost worthless, when a
soldiers monthly pay would scarcely buy
one meal for his family-and that was
the case in all the last period of ten or
twelve months-those soldiers Of the la
boring class who had families were COM

One Of the most impressive and intejest-
ing place. for any one to visit now; any
where, is the tunneling Of Kings Noun
tain, for the Cincinnati Southern railroad,
about twelve miles South Of Stanford. Any
person can spend day there, with a. much
interest and entertainment Is at the great
Iouisville or Cincinnati Expeditions. We
bad the pleasure Of being one Of . party
Of ladies and gentlemen from Stanford, who
spent the day there last Wednesday. We
left Stanford At seven O'Clock in the morn
ing, and arrived at the South end Of the
tunnel at ten. In going over the road be-
tween Stanford and the tunnel, We crossed
Muldrough's Hill, and the scenery, to be
seen from its summit Is too beautiful and
extensive TO describe. Indeed, the occasion
was most delightful and instructive one.
The gallant Mr.. Afford, who drove usthere
behind his veteran span Of iron greys, and
being frequent visitor Of the place, un-
derstands how to contribute largely to the
pleasures by pointing out all the noted pla-
ces Of interest. On arriving there, We were
introduced to W. N. McCioy, one Of the
resident engineers Of the road, and Mr..
Hart, Clerk Of Maj. Wallace, engineer Of
the road. They showed Us many kindness
e., for which they have many thanks Of the
entire party. To give oil the names Of the
party, and enumerate, and write in full Of
all the incidents that occurred, the scenes
witnessed and the feats performed; Of going
down into those dark looking pits (shafts)
and being guided around by the star-look-
ing lights Of the laborers, and learning that
man can do what seemingly could not be per-
formed, &c, would require more space than
can be allotted Us at this time. But some
things were 30 highly appreciated that We
cannot refrain from mentioning them
among which, Was the royal dinner spread
BY Miss Belle Carpenter, in . beautiful
oak grove, near a splendid spring. II seems
useless to say right hear lily did all parties
do ample justice to such feast. After d.
ming WAS over, some pistol shooting was in
dulged in, Mis- Jennie Carpenter handling
the pistol with as much skill % one prsc-
tieed in the uss Of il, and making the best
shot. Miss Kinman, Of Louisville, also
made some good shots. We next made a
visit to oil the shaf,a, in company with Maj
Wallace, Division Engineer, and DIR. 10.
hon, Of Stanford. The Major was indeed
90 genial and courteous a TO create de-
sire with the whole party TO be with him

quirsd to build railroads, especially thro
