BAIL ROAD MEETIXU.

Pursuant to call, the citizens ol Mouti: gomery County met in convention May 25, 1867, to consider the subject of the

Indianapolis, Crawfordsvilleand Danville rail road. On motion, Maj. I. C. EI.STON was cho-

sen President of the meetting, and Jou.v L. CAMPBELL, Secretary. By invitation of the meeting, Col.

Wilson, Presideut of said railroad, vT0" ceeded to state the condition and prospects of the enterprise.

The great importance of the road, us 6 link in the great Eastern and A\ estern line of traffic and travel, was forcibly pre Sented. He reviewed the history of the effort—including the failure of the contract of H. C. Lord—and the reorganization of the company in its present form.

The statement was made, that in the

Opinion of President Wilson, the parties

teady to contract for the construction

were already secure, and it remains for the people to do what they had formerly

to do—with t\\e additional item

of transferring tW\r ofi \n»\ subscription,

to the new company. The original subscriptions were madu

payable to II. C. Lord or assigns and have been properly aud legally assigned by Lord to the Indianapolis, Crawlords-

ville and Danville rail road Company.

These subscriptions do not terminate at a pi

any particular date, but arc due and must

be paid when the road is built.

The present effort of the directors of

the company contemplates the raising of two hundred and fifty thousand dullars,

by transferring the old subscriptions,

and securing new ones..—the securing the right of way from White river to Danville

Illinois, and the purchase of the road

bed, now partly completed between Crawfordsville and Covington,—when these things arc done, Co\. Wilson assures the

people that thc rail road will be speedily constructed. Col. Wilson reported that

earnest and entJius/as(/cniec(/iigs had been held along the entire line from Danville to Indianapolis. Fountain County will do all that is required of her, with sev eral thousand dollars additional. Marion, Hendricks & Boone arc aroused, and will do their whole duty.

ALEXANDER THOMSON, Esq. gave a

legal opinion, affirming the validity of

the subscriptions originally made to II.

C. Lord or assigns, and the assignment

of the same JOHN M. BUTLER, Esq. also 'concurred in the opinion expressed by Mr. Thomson. Mr. Butler dwelt at some length •n the local importance of the road, es

pecially in view of other improvements now being made by neighboring counties.

THE radicals are no sooner recovered

from one spasm thau they are thrown in

to another. The white coated philosopher of the New York Tribune threw them into a spasm by going bail for JEFF. DAVIS. They had about recovered their equanimity, when lo and behold, the old

nestor of Abolitionism writes to Jons C. BRECKINRIDGE to come home and as

sist in reconstruction. He tells the pro--digal JOHN to pay no attention to the mouthings of the pseudo loyalists who in their conceit imagine they own the coun-

try.

TUE Grand Army of thc llepu.blicj* a secret political, dm -Ian tern association,

the bumincrs of the negro-saffr,age ra iical party of the north, are having family jars among themselves in Illinoi^. A portion

of the Order swear they cuu never stom-

ache negro voting, and threaten to rebel ,if the Order supports any candidate fa-

jvoring it. The probability is that the dissenters will be kicked out, as they are

said to be few in number, while the admi

rers of Sambo are largely in the majority.

IT is now generally admitted, even by large portion of the leading radical press, that Mrs. SUUUAXT was hung inno,.cently, by the military tribunal that condemned hfjr. The members composing that comnriissioa will have the satisfaction v(uow th».t the "murder is out,") of reconciling their consciences for thiB bloody and te.rrible deed. Like the guilty thane of Oowder, great Neptune's ocean will harclly wash this innocent blood clean from their hands.

WHEN

Horace Greeley threw down his

ijsteel glove to the Union League upon the •abject of the bailing of Jeff. Davis, everybody expected a fight equal to that between Heenan and Sayer. But the

League could not be got within a league of the fighting-ring, .V

incomplete form. Others are confident,

from its internal evidence, that what is

other it is (icneral Lafayette linker, the

"A new phase has been developed about the Booth diary. Ex-dotective Baker declares that the diary is not in the condition it was when he first saw it. lie says that it contained an account of Booth's killing his horse in a tangled wood to escape detection, ami then sleeping between the animal's legs, to get the warmth while it remained in the dead body, nearly all of one night, lie has published this declaration in his book, and the Judiciary Coinmitte. intend to question him again on this point, for there is nothing of the kind in the dur\ as just published."

It would seem to have been chanted

even since General Butler saw it, lor it does not read at all as he quoted from it

in Congress at. the last session.

Take it all, in al there is no doubt that there is somewhere a fraud and villainy counected with this diary disclosure.

THE celebration of the Fourth ol July, which was once respected as the Sab

bath of the Nation and universally re

garded by the people as a day marking

the most important event in the history of the States forming the Federal Gov

ernment, has of late years fallen into dis

We have two currencies—one for the people aud one for the bondholders.

The people are obliged to take legal-ten-ders for their debts, while the bouJlioM-

ers have gold. The legal-tenders 'are good enough for the masses, but the

bondholders must have something Letter! The money of the people is subjected to State aud local taxation, while that of the

bondholders, derived from tbeir bonds,

is exempted from it. The bondholders,

therefore, have the gold eurvency and no taxation, and the people have

Iudiauapolis, the right of way from the west side of White River to Danville, and the road bed between Crawl'ordsvillc and Covingtou. with the work done on the same by the Newcastle aud Danville Railroad Company, that the directors would, in their respective localities, increase and change their subscriptions, and make them payable to thc present organization. To this, interested parties could not object from thc fact that the subscribers were liable on their present subscription made to Henry C. Lord or his assigus and being assigned to the present company, if they complete thc road, they will undoubtedly collect the money. There will, however, be no money collectcd in Vermillion, nor any of thc counties on the route, until the road is completed through each locality for which thc same will be appropriated.

Vermilion will not be called upon for her subscription until the road is constructed from Indianapolis to Danville. The amount of the subscriptions in each county will be increased a few hundred dollars. The directors ask A ermillion county to increase her subscription from $23,000 to 82fi,000, and give the company the right of way to thc Wabash river. The President of the company assures the people along this route, that as soon as these donations and the right of way are obtaiued, there are parties who are responsible and willing to go to work and complete the

Indianapolis, Crawfords-

ville and Danville Railroad with all possible dispatch. The cars will be running over two-thirds of the track before thc first of September, 1868. lion. C. It.

At our city election, on Monday, the poor wretch even attempted to put in a faudulent vote. He drove his carriage to the polls in thc First Ward, was lifted out of the same, and was on the point ol putting in a ballot as O. P.

Hallroiul Meeting—Itniinuapoiu, iranfordsvlllc and iia.mll lo Kail road. I'ursuact to previous noticc, our citizens assembled at the courthouse in Danville, on Friday, 17th iustant. The largo enthusiastic aud interesting meeting was organized by electing Colonel William I\ Chandler chairman, and Colonel R. 11. Johnson secretary. The purposes which called us together were brifly stated by the chairman.

Colonel S. C. Willson.of Crawf'ordsvillc, president of the road in contemplation, addressed thc meeting at considerable length. Ilis speech was replete with argument, aud in every way appropriate to the occasion. He stated that the directors of the Indianapolis, Crawl'ordsvillc nnd Danville Railroad Company bail resolved to douate 8250,(100 cash subscriptions, including the bonds of the city of

Several sycophant pclitici.'».-i came forward and tried to persuade Dorbeckor to let Morton vote, but he maintained his challenge being fully convinced that Morton had not the shadow of a right to vote in that ward.

As soon as Morton saw that he was found out as a fraudulent voter, lie turned round, got into his'carriage and drove off as quickly as he could. With this matter staring us in the face, lei us ask the Democrats of Indiana, how tlicy can expect to have thc majority when their opponents arc so unscrupulous, one of them, even a Governor and United States .Senator, sneaking to the polls to smuggle in a fraudulent vote? Ilow can tlioro be any fair election wlieu thc highest State oflicer himself tries to commit a fraud? How can the Democrats put an end to this radical misrule when the highest State oflicer does not blush at committing a State prison offense? It is indeed time that the people of the State should take pity ou the inhabitants of their metropolis, and at least elect such officers as will not condescend to be swindlers and fraudulent voters.

WDVI

Census of ISJ0.

Tlic Director of' tho Muroiiti ot' Stallsties is making preparation to take tlio census of tlie United States for 1870 through the internal revenue organization, lie lias already :ken a census of illo entire population of the country, without any expense to ihe (Iuvernmiiiit, except about lifty dollars for stationery.

The census was very ijtii«-kly hut thoroughly taken during the »ix weeks of last November and December, and is iu most cases the result of actual count iu over three thousand live hundred internal revenue divisions. The details will not be furnished lo the public until after they have undergone careful revision and arrangement. The returns from a few of the mountain districts of the country are the only ones not deemed satisfactory.

The census shows the total population of the thirty-seven States in December, 18GG, to have been, I'M,100,256, ami the States and Territories taken together, li 1,505,882. In most of the Southern States there has been a decrease in the population, in thc Kastcrn States a small increase, aud ill the Western States a large increase. The results of this census are supported in every instance by the State ccnsus of 18(J5, as far as taken.

Thc comparison with the,, ccnsus of 1800 is as follows: Thirty-seven States, a few of which were then Territories, numbered 131,218,021 inhabitants, and the total States and Territoritics 31,-113,1521. The total increase since IStiO has therefore been 3,002,561, whieh iu view of the late war, demonstrates thc extraordinary recuperative powers of the country.

The population of thc District of Columbia is giveu nt 118,8(57. The proportion of thc sexes in the District has not yet been definitely determined, but, BO far ns we have been able to learn, there is a majority of several thousand females over the males.

following account of a terrible accident,

that place, oil the 13th ,c

On Saturday ist, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, as Miss Gould and another young lady were attempting to walk a single hewed timber reaching from one abutment to another, of the bridge across Yellow river at this place—the center portions of which had been washed away during thc late freshet—she lo-t her balance and fell in. Among those who witnessed the accident was Mrs. Zerbe, who was at her own door on thc bluff on this side of the river, aud who screamed with all her vocal powers for help, and was almost immediately heard liv tier husband, who was engaged in his mill but a low rods below the bridge, lie was soon upon the shore opposite to where the young lady was seen partially floatintr, and throwing off his coat, plunged in to her rescue but as soon as he came within reach of her, she got him in her grasp, and being nearly exhausted, held on with an inextricable grip, which so ballled his efforts to get near cither shore, that they both sank together, to rise no more. The frantic- screams of Mrs. Z., who had called her husband to the aid of the drowning girl, uid witnessed thc entire sad scene, wore truly heartrending.

Although done with the purest of motives, she seemed to reflect upon herself for summoning her husband to his final doom. The body of Miss Gould was recovered in a very short time after the occurrence, but that of Mr. Zerbe was not found until about two o'clock iu the afternoon.

Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.

This great medicine cured Dr..I. II. SCIIKSCK, tho i'rt»prietor, of Pulmonary Consumption* when it had assumed ils most formablo aspect, and when

speedy death appeared to be inevitable. His physicians pronounced bin case incurable, when he commenced the use of this simple but powerful rein* edy, llis health was restored in a very short time, and no return of the disease has been apprehended, for all the symptoms quickly disappeared and his present weight is more than two hundred pounds.

Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention exclusively to the cure of Consumption, and th« diseases which are usually complicated with it. and thc cure effected by his medicines have been very numerous and truly wonderful. Dr. SCHKNCK makes professional visits to several of the larger cities weekly, where he has a large concourse of patients, and it is truly astonishing to see poor con

sumptives that have to be lifted out of tbeir carriages, and in a few months healthy, robust persons. Dit. SeUKNCK's ITIJMONIC SYKUL1.

Full directions accompanying each, so that any one can take them without seeing Dr. SCHKNCK. but when it ia eonvcni ent it is best to see him. lie gives advice free, but for a thorough examination with hi* Ke«pirometer his fee is three dollars.
