The Republicans of Franklin County and all others who oppose the Kansas ploicy of the Administration, are requested to meet at the Court House, in Brookville, on Saturday the 27th inst., for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Republican State Convention to be holden at Indianapolis on the 4th of March next. By order of the Central Committee. RUFUS HAYMOND, Ch'r'n. John D. Howland, Esq. and the Attorney Generalship. We notice that some of the Republican papers of this State are moving in the matter of nominalion. Among others the Greensburg Republican comes out stronglt in favor of the nomination of John D. Howland. of Franklin county, for Attorney General. Mr. Howland is certainly a very clever gentle men, and it would afford us great pleasure to vote for him for almost any position he is qualified to fill. But we must be pardoned for suggesting that the Attorney Generalship is not exactly the place for him. He would make a star Secretary of State; and we should be pleased to see him occupy that position. But for Attorney General it should be a man of large experience in the legal profession-- a man of solid attainments and high reputation as a jurist. And just here allow us to suggest the name of Judge Wm.. T. Otto, of this city as a man pre-eminently qualified for that position. The convention of the that proximo could not do better than to nominate him. --N. A. Tribune. The above from the pen of Milton Gregg, Esq., formerly a citizen of this county, demands as we think, from the friends of John D. Howland, Esq., proper refutation. That Mr. Gregg should prefer Wm. T. Otto, his own townsman, is not surprising, and that Judge Otto possesses all the qualities of a gentleman and jurist claimed for him by Mr. Gregg, we cheerfully admit; and aver that under no circumstances could Mr. Howland, or his friends suffer his cause promoted by detracting from the

just merits of Judge otto or any othe

gentleman. Judge Otto or Jno. D. Howland requires no such bolstering. The imputation of Mr. Howland's want of qualifications is unjust and untrue. We know him intimately, and are better judge than is Mr. Gregg, and fearlessly say, that there are but few men in the State possessing, equally with him, the requisite qualifications. With seventeen years experience as a constantly practising lawyer in the inferior and Superior courts of the State; just in the prime of life; thoroughly "read" in his profession; a head as "clear as a bell," and forensic powers unequaled by most of his associatcs, he has deservedly taken front rank with the lawyers of Eastern Indiana, and in our opinion is amply "qualified to fill the office" and that it "is exactly the place for him." Believing us we do that Mr. Howland possesses the requisites claimed by Mr. Gregg, "large experience in the legal profession solid attainments and high reputation as a jurist," in as eminent degree as any gentleman of his age in the State; to which we add a life reputation for morality and integrity, unsullied by even the breath of slander, with high moral courage that dares to do the right under all circumstances, we urge upon our friends his nomination. JNO. H. FARQUHAR, WILSON MORROW, GEO. HOLLAND, C. C. B INK LEY, RUFUS HAYMOND. At a meeting of the County Commissioners, held on Monday last, John C Burton, Esq , was appointed County Treasurer pro tem, in place of Dr. Elliott dec'd. Mr. Burton has long been well acquainted with the business of the office and is every way capable of discharging its duties. A very worthy appointment. We are glal to perceive that our esteemed friend Mr. L[?] Reynolds, has so far recovered from his recent illness as to be able to appear on the streets again. The property known as the Harrel faim consisting of 400 acres situated in Fayette Co., and owned by Geo. Holland Esq.; has been purchased by Mr. C. H. Scoffield of Laurel. The sale of the personal property of Enoch McCarty dec'd., which took place on Monday last was largely attended and every thing sold brought a good price. The bill divorcing Thomas W. Smith, whose trial for killing Carter, in Philadelphia, excited so much interest, has passed both Houses of the Pennsylvania Legislature.

Funeral of Dr. Elliott The remains of the late Dr. Elliott, were on Friday last, followed to their

final resting place by a large number of friends and citizen. The orders of Odd Fellows and Masons of which he was a worthy member were largely in attendance to pay the last tribute of respect to a departed brother. Previous to burial, the body was conveyed to tho Presbyterian Church where an eloquent discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Abbott. John Bright, a young man residing some three miles from town, and as we learn respectably connected, was arrested on Thurday of last week for passing, at the store of Tyner & Kimble and to Mr. Adam Feltz of this place, two five dollar counterfeit bills of the Farmers Bank of Kentucky. He also gave to Mr. Lowry-Lynn of this place another of the same stamp, who at the time of the arrest had gone to Cincinnati. Upon search, another bill of the same character was found in his possession, as also two spurious two and a half dollar gold pieces. It is stated that a few days previous to his arrest he was seen to have a large amount of money which no doubt, was equally as bad. He was brought before Justice Kilgore of this place and held to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars, his father Mr. Ezekiel Bright entering upon the bond, for his appearance at the next term of Court. Leander Ward, proprietor of the White Water Valley Mill, above Fairfield, has failed and made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors to Wilson Price. Wo have ascertained nothing as to his liabilities. As every body is aware, no doubt, the cold weather during the last week has obstructed navigation on the raging canawl, notwithstanding this our friend Capt. Millis carries as smiling a face as ever. Hope we shall have plenty of ice, though the mildness of the winter heretofore, has indicated quite the contrary. It is rumored that Gov. Denver is to be removed, and John R. Potter, of Albany, N. Y., appointed in his place, Superintendent of Public Instruction. Now that the Supreme Court, by its decisions, has destroyed the most valuable feature of the school law, it is a matter of great moment to the people of the State, that we elect a Superintendent of Public Instruction, who will the most efficiently get all the good out of the part that remains, and whose ex perience and recommendations would have weight with the Legislature in securing wise and judicious amendments to the law. We believe that T. A. Goodwin, editor of the Indiana American, would "fill the bill." Of long experience, in the school room, and in public business, and familiar as he is, with the practical working of the school systems of this and our sister States, he would bring to the work a mind stored with varied experience, and above all, an honest desire to promote the cause of education among the people; Let him be nomi nated. Greensburg Repub. EXECUTION OF THE MCKEESPORT MURDERERS,--. Henry Fife and Charlottee Jones, two of the MeKeesport murderers, were hung at Pittsburg, Feb 12, at 2 o'clock. About thirty persons witnesed the execution inside of the jail yard. There was a large crowd outside. Both delivered addresses, acknowling the justice of their sentence, but pronounced Monroe Stewart innocent. The latter is sentenced to be hung in a fortnight. ACTION OF THE KANZAS LEGISLATURE. The Legislature of Kanzas has taken prompt and decisive action to defend its constituents from the outrage centemplated by Mr. Buchanan, and in which he determines to make the majority in Congress his accomplices. As will be seen from the statements of our correspondent, published this morning, the Act providing for a Convention to frame a Constitution in accordance with the wishes of the people, has passed both branches of the Territorial Legislature and, if vetoed by Gov. Denver, as is possible, will become a law by the requsite majority, without his signature. The President's Message in favor of the Lecompton Constitution, created great excitement in the Legislature. A bill passed the House, on the spur ot the moment, making it a capital offence in any citizens of Kanzas to attempt to give any force or effect to that Constitution. Excited speeches were also made, foreshadowing resistance to the death to this tyranny, if any attempt is made to enforce it. No one can doubt that these are something more than idle threats, or that such resistance would effectually backed up, if necessary, by outsiders. It is not in human nature to submit to such oppression, or to see a brave people thus trodden under the iron heel of tyranny, without coming to their assistance. An act has been passed, over the veto of the Governor, removing the Capitol of Kanzas to Minneola, a projected town twenty or thirty miles Southwest of Lawrence. Whether this location is likely to be permanent approved by the people does not appear to be yet determined. It seems to have been adopted, for the time, as a compromise between the conflicting claims of Lawrence and Topeka.-- Cin Gazette. Ex-Governor Bebb, formerly of Ohio, now of Illinois, who was tried a few days since for shooting one of a band who were "charivaring" his newly married son, was acquited. Ex-President Fillmore was married, in Albany, Feb. 11th, to Mrs. Mcintosh.

WHAT A SOUTHERN SENATOR SAID. A Southern Senator (says the Tribune's Washington correspondent) remarked that the Republicans had gained the first battle, since they drew the first blood, (Keitt's) and got the first scalp, (Barksdale's wig.) ICE AT CLEVELAND. The Cleveland Leader, of Saturday, says: The ice packers are harvesting as rapidly as possible. The the river is from 4 1/2 to 5 inches thick, solid and clear as crystal. The Cuyahoga is the merriest of rivers. The ice is glare, and the skaters glide and dart about like swallows, on a summer's eve, and at all hours of the day, the scene along the river for miles is most animated. Occasionally, young ladies engage in the exciting exercise, a number of them good skaters. Yesterday, a few skaters ventured upon tho Lake shore ice.

DEEP SNOW.-- By actual measurement, the snow that has recently fallen at Davenport, Iowa, was ascertained on Tuesday to be fifteen inches. A Washington correspondent writes, that from what he knows of Keitt, tho South Carolina sprig of chivalry, who disgraced the Hall of Representatives the other day, he deems it entirely probable that he was "too drunk to know whether he was struck or not." BROOKVILLE, Feb. I6th, 1858. To the Citizens of Brookville and all whom it may concern: Having my stable consumed by fire on, or about the l8th of January, and could not attribute it to any other cause but that of an incendiary, from circumstances, perhaps to trivial my suspicion in some degree, rested on a young man of our town, but I studiously avoided giving his name, therefore I hope to be excused in this article for not giving it; but my house being on fire on the night of the 14th, knowing no possible means by which it could occur, except it was set on fire, I expresscd my suspicion to the young man too freely, but under the most intense excitement. As I understand a portion of tho public having misunderstood, the language on the occasion, I here say I did not charge him with setting my buildings on fire, or if I did I was so excited that I knew it not. I rejoice to learn from those that know him long and well, that my suspicions are groundless, that he is kind-hearted, generous and free from revenge-- and my future course to. him shall be that of a gentleman, as I find him worthy.
