BARN-BuRNERs CAUGHT. i Last evening
Detective Knox arrived in the city from
Amelia county, where he has been dill
gently engaged for some days in ferret
ing out case of barn-burning, which
crime has increased alarmingly Of late.
Some weeks ago Mr.. N. NJ. Blacker, the
founder OF the English colony in Amelia
county, had a valuable barn burned, with
all it's contents. He employed Messrs. Knox
and Dabney to find out the guilty parties.
After a careful and shrewd investigation
they succeeded in arresting Jesse Nash,
Henry Cary, Charles Jefferson, and Moses
Branch. Charles Jefferson turned States
evidence, and this, in addition to the evil
dence already accumulated by Mr.. Knox,
justified the magistrate in placing the ac-
cused in the Amelia county Jail to await in
dictment at the next term OF the County
Court.

CONGRESS has now been in session five
months. Up to last Saturday there had been
3,272 bills introduced in the House, against
less than 500 in the Senate, but there has new.
ertheless been much more Legislative work ac-
complished by the Senate than by the House
1t hiss been the constant practice of Republi-
cans for several years to prepare and pass the
most important and necessary appropriation
bills early in the session. At this time of the
year, four years ago, nearly all the important
bills had been passed, and there was talk OF
adjournment by the middle of May. There
was actual adjournment the first of June, with
nothing of moment lett undone that ought to
have been done. This year, it is evident that
will not take place before the
first of August, if so soon. And when Con-
gress does adjourn, it will only $50 far as the
House is concerned, at least), have done the
work heretofore done in much less time, and
done it i'll instead of well. The public service
will be found to have suffered; the economy
will have turned out to be bogus, the differ
ence between craftsmanship and partisan
bungling will be plainly apparent to the naked
eye, and the general verdict of the PEOPLE will
be that it is by all odds the most inefficient,
stupid, partisan and unpatriotic legislative
body of which our political annals give any
account. Il Pitts. Com.

The Independent Element.

No person who desires to see an honest
and efficient administration OF national affairs
Can object to any number-whether large or
small-of American citizens meeting together
in conference and deliberating as to the best
means of promoting the general welfare of the
nation. There cannot be any objection to the
course adopted by the gentlemen who issued
the circular recently, inviting number of
their friends to meet them on the 18th instant
in the City of New York, and consult in re-
gard to the present political situation. Much
good might result from free conversation
among devoted patriots, who have no ambition
to crafty, and have no political aspirations.
If the object, then, is to merely suggest a plan
or plans for the promotion of the interests of
the country, there cannot, or there should not,
be any opposition shown to the meeting pro-
posed to be held in the course of ten or twelve
days in the commercial metropolis of the
country.
There are not a few, however, who have
got the impression that the meeting is called,
not for the purpose of suggesting plans, but of
debating course that must be pursued TO Sc
cure the cooperation of those who are promi-
nent in calling it. If this is the object had in
view, it is unnecessary to say that the confer
ence will be productive of no good. 1t can
not be questioned that the four or five men
who appended their names to the circular,
which was published about tive weeks ago,
are eminent for talent and patriotism, but they
are charged with having lofty aspirations for
position and power. There is a widespread
impression that the greater portion of them
are not entirely disinterested in the movement
they have set on foot, and that their primary
object is to give themselves such prominence
as will secure their recognition for high posi-
tiops by the Cincinnati Convention. Their
main object, it is alleged, is to make nomina-
tions, and then demand that the seven hun
dred and fifty-two delegates who shall meet
next month in national convention shall en-
dorse them. But this is thing which the ma
tiona delegates, in all probability, will not do.
American politicians are not,
as general thing, above receiving sugges-
tions from their fellow citizens, but they have
a strong aversion to being dictated to- The
New York meeting will represent nobody but
the members who shall compose it, for the
people will have no voice in selecting dele
gates to it, but the Cincinnati Convention
will consist of citizens chosen by the Republi-
cans of the country to put in nomination can
didates for the Presidency and Vice Presiden
cy of the United States Pitts. Dispatch.

A New Process for Grinding
e Grain.


A new process tor grinding grain, re-
Gently introduced, has attracted con-
siderable attention trem millers and
Others interested. In the machine
used there are three receptacle with
the external appearance of ffan-blowers.
Inside solid iron disks resolve, each
having four projections or beaters on
their periphery. Revolutions are
made at the rate of 100 per minute for
the first, 2O0O for the second AID 23OO
for the third. The wheat is fed to these
receptacles the same as in an ordinary
mill and goes through similar bolting
and purifying process, and the flour
comes out in perfectly cool condition.
At an exhibition given not long ago
100 barrels of flour were produced from
400 bushels of wheat, = saving of so to
70 bushels of wheat, as compared with
tie old system. 1t is claimed that one
machine will do the work of Is runs of
stones, and with 25 per cent. less
power, the capacity being estimated at
800 barrels of flour per day. The ma
chine can also be adapted to the grind
ing of hard rock at the rate of about q
ton apd half per hour, and rosin,
etc., two tons per hour. Mill
ers who have witnessed the operation
seem generally willing to admit that it
would accomplish all claimed iOr it.

Victory in Indiana.

The triumph of the Republican party in the
Indiana town elections is grand one and q
glorious earnest of what is to follow this fall.
In nearly every important town of the State,
with the exception of New Albany, the Re-
publican ticket shows handsome gains. Sweep
ing majorities are reported from Bloomington,
Centerville, Connersville, Charlottesville, Elk
hart, Franklin, Greencastle, Kokomo, Lafay-
cite, Laporte, Madison, Terre Haute, War
saw, Ft. Wayne, Lebanon, Shelbyville, Wa
bash and Greensburg.
In Franklin Republican Mayor is elected,
for the first time in six years, and in Shelby
vile, the home of Gov. Hendricks, the Re
publicans have swept every ward, with mag
nifcent gains over former years.
But in Indianapolis the triumph is most
complete and glorious. The Democratic
Council, only week before the election, pass
ed gerrymandering ordinance, which they
confidently believed would insure them the
city. At the last election they carried the
Council, and missed electing their Mayor only
by hair's-breath. They awoke this morning
to find their trickery, their frauds, and their
violence have proved in vain. The strong
Republican sentiment has been awakened,
and the Democrats are fairly swept from their
feet. The Republican popular majority
reaches the astonishing height of 4,315, and
out of the thirteen members of Council voted
for, e,even Republicans are elected
The meaning of so remarkable victory in
Presidential year can not be mistaken.
Coupl with the evidences from New Hamp-
shire and elsewhere, it demonstrates the GER
tainty of Republican success this fall, pro-
vided the party is put upon a sound platform
and headed by tried and able leader whose
name will be guarantee that the sacred prin-
ciples of Republicanism will not be departed
from. Indiana has been looked at>by the Re-
publicans as doubtful State-has been count
ed by the Democr cy in their favor. Yester-
days glorious work shows where it will stand
provided the issue is sharply drawn between
Republicanism and Democracy There must
no longer be any hesitation, no longer any
warning among factions who prefer this man
or that-we must go straightforward to vic
tory in the future as in the past, under the
lead of an honest, able, unequivocal Republi-
can.-CCin. Times, Sd inst.

The " ar Governor Rises ton
Personal Explanation.

Washington Special Dispatch to Cincin-
natl Gazette, May 3.
1t was strange scene which the Senate
witnessed to-day when the great war Governor
of Indiana rose to answer Us to his manner of
helping carry on the war for the Union, both
in the field and against the Sons of Liberty at
home, and stranger still that his answer was
called cut by Springer, former member of
this order. The spectacle of the Sons of Lib
erty investigating the conduct of the war is
now on exhibition at the National Capital
The grossness OF this attack on Gov Morton
has been a source of great disgust and annoy
ance among many Democrats, and all recog-
nize in it most serious blunder. The full
sympathy of every Union man, and every fair
man, has been extended to Gov. Morton. His
explanation was not needed, except to CON-
plete the record against those who assailed
him. There wa, general and hearty indig-
nation, however, over the fact that man who
had contributed so much to suppress the re-
bellion, and done it honestly, as everybody
knew, should be thus arraigned by the men,
Who, though desperately disloyal, had not the
courage to fight for their belief. Few men in
Washington have ever been so cordially con-
graduated over the manner in which they
have met attacks of this sort, as has been
Gov. Morton to-day and tonight. Senator
Anthony followed with the first pronounced
utterance on the floor of either house in de-
of the methods pursued by the
Democratic committees. The universal re-
sponse to his words showed plainly how keen
ly the gross unfairness of these investigations
has taken hold of all classes here, and how
great the disgrace is deemed to be which they
have brought upon the majority which controls
them
