Corporation ^lectin?.

Wo are requested to say that there will be a meeting held at the Court House, on ucxt Saturday evening, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Corporation office! s. Let thero be a general turn out.

English's Bill.

It will be seen from the following article taken from the Louisville Journal, what Geo. D. Trentice thinks of the English bill, reported by tho committee of conferonce. It is pretty well understood, that this bill is all trick end intrigne, only allowing the people of Kansas a right to voto upon the amendment—a land ordinance, &. not for or against (he Lecompton constitution. We see from onr latest Congressional news, that yesterday (Wednesday) was the time set for a final vote:

As wo have said, Mr. English's bill, which has? been reported by a majority of tho comrnitteo of conference, does not .submit the Lecompton constitution to the people of Kansas at all. It docs not propose to let them havo a vole upon that subject or upon any subject having (ho least natural or proper connection with it.. It proposes a land ordinance, which would be of very great advantage to tho people of Kansas, and tells them that they may vote for or against that just as they please. •At the same time it informs them that if they vote for it, tho vote shall be considered as making Kansas a State of the Union under the Lecompton constitution whereas if they vote against it, Kansas shall stay out of the Union for an indefinite period— that if, till she shall have 93,000 inhabitants. Now scrutanize for a moment the gross and monstrous character of the proffered bribe. .Le^-mpton, as represented by Mr. English sntlhis friends, says to Kansas, yon can vole indirectly so aa to come into the

Union under the Lecompton Constitution, or von can vote so as not to come iu under that constitution, but, if you vote to come in. you will enjoy all the immense benefits of the land ordinance, besides the great advantages of becoming at onco a member of the confederacy, while, if 3-011 vote otherwise, yon shall not only not have the land ordinance but you shall stay out of the Union for years. There is dishonor, there is disgeaee, there is infamy in the renditions held out It would scarcely be greater dishonor, greater shame, greater infamy, to say to the people of Kansas, that while they may vote as they plcaso upon the Lecompton constitution, every man of (hem who votes/or it shall be entitled to the boor* of a hundred acres of land and every man who shall vote against it be punished with disfranchisement.

Candidates for Congress.

Among the many we see mentioned as candidates for the nomination for Congress in this District, is the name of Col. J. R. M. BUVANT, of Warren connty. Mr. B., has been long and favorably known by the peoplo of this District as an ever faithful and true friend to the cause of Republicanit and strenuously opposed to every feature of old lino usurpation, villainy and frsnd. Should ho receive the nomination in Convention, he will doubtless make an able and efficient fight and if elected will di-vcharge the duties of this important offtee with ability that will do honor to himH'lf and his constituents.

Although Mr. B. is not our choice, we will, should he receive the nomination, throw in our humble mite with pleasure towards his triumphant- election. wfi

It will be seen by reference to an oilier column, that Mr. Bryant's friends have authorized us to announce his name, subject to the decision of the Convention.

^Early Indiana Trials and Sketches.

e-liavo- beeri favbi'ed with a" copy-'of the above valuable work, by Mr. It. BOBBINS, dealpr in Books, &c., reencastle.'—Tbiis Book is the production of Hon. OLIVER H. SMITH and "from a hasty examination, we think it unexceptionable as a history of early Indiana, and a work that should be in the hands of all old Hoosiers. •"While it present.", iu a plain and familiar style many interesting and amusing historical sketches of the principal events and actors in Indiana's early history, it at the same time gives short and graphic sketched of the personal history of many of the leading men of the nation. Take it all in all, it is a decidedly readable book."

Mr. Dobbins has the agency for Parke, Putnam, Montgomery and Fountain.— This work contains C40 octavo pages, in one volume, neatly bound, and is sold at 82. Yon will be waited upon by Mr. D.'B Agents in a few days.

viPiGEoxs.—The Indiana Journal of Monday, 26th inst., contains several small notices in relation to pigeons and pigeon roosts and from the great numbers that have been Seen passing over hero for the last few weeks from theeast, we judge there must be 6 flno opening somewhere, for those foml of such fon els.. The Journal says: Huudreds of young pigeons are daily sent from the Decatur county "roost" to Louisville, "Cincinnati, Chicago and New York. Some of tho sportsmen visiting the locality find it hard occasionally to find "roosts" for themselves after finding the pigeon "roost." Tha pigeon region extends from a fow tnilea south of Greensburg, about foity milea in the direction of the Ohio river.

WAIT

We notico stuck up on fences and outhouses' this morning a 6mall poster with the above caption. We understand tho' we did not read it, to be something1 in tho shape of a 'one horse show,' coming around to fleece the people cut of a few dimes.— We understand also it hails from the marshes of Boone county, and camps out at night. Tho truth of this however, we know nothing ourself, only heresay. It proposes giving an entertainment a few days alter the mammoth Circus of Messrs. Nixon & Kemp, therefore wishes the people to "wait." Oh gee-hue what a wait this concern will find in waiting for them.

Our 4th Page.

By reference to our fourth page you find a report of tho Auditor of State, in relation to to the condition and standing of the Free Banks, of Indiana. Tha scarcity of money now troubling^ the people, should induce (hem to examine carefully, all shinplasters, before taking them in payment for any thing—even chips and whet-stones. Tis better to have no money, than to handle snch trash as is only calculated to deprive men of their slumbers,

A .Monster Nugget.

We see by an article going the rounds of our exchanges, that fonr men sometime since found a monster "chunk" of gold, at Kingower, 130 miles from Melbourne, measuring two feet and four inches in length, ten inches in width, and eight inches (hick weighing 146 lbs. and was valued at about §34,000. We have no particular reason to doubt this statement but we do think, we can ami should havo little more confidence in things nearer home and less in things abroad ihan we generally do. One thing we will mention though' you do not make money, you can save it, by calling and buying some of the new goods, (his week being received at the store of F. II. FRY Co. We are'told by one of the firm, that the great rush of trade they havo been favored with this Spring, compelled them to go east and buy the second slock, that those in want might not be sent away empty. They now think by the exercise of economy, on the part of their customers and friends, iliat they will be able to meet the demand. They are determined, however, that no stone shall be left unturned, and if iieed be, they will order a few more boxes of Bonnets, Ribbons, Ilats, Lawns, Jaconetts, Prints, «fec., &c.

his

AWFUL CALAMITY AT ST. LOUIS

WHILE

RACING.

Twenty Passengers Btmiedor Dro%vned The telegraph told us on Friday morning of a fearful calamity that accurred at St. Louis the evening before in which some twenty or thirty persons wero murdered (that's tha word!) by tho criminal carelessness of tho officers of a steamboat, while thev were racing against a rival boat. To day we present a full account of the catastrophe. The reckless carelessness of the officers makes it a case of wholesale murder, so extraordinary that we mako no apology for giving it so much space. It may not 'bo essentially more criminal than such cases as the Moselle, where an explosion, resulting from a racing effort, sent scores of men to an untimely death but in its circumstances it presents an appearance of greater indifference and consequent culpability. One cannot mark the degrees of increasing danger in an explosion, as they could in such a case as this, wher-* the peril lay right before the officers eyes, and they saw it momentarily increasing. It is an awful affair, not only in its results, but its origin, and ought to induce such legislation as will end racing forever. No penalty can be too scveie, and no execution of it too rigid. Wc copy from the Democrat of Friday.

The Ocean Spray took fire yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, and was burned to the water's edge, at a distance of about five miles above this city, in or near Sawyer's Bend, above Magazine Point.— Sho left this city at hor regular departing hour, between four and five o'clock, on her way to Peoria, on the Illinois river.— About tho time of her departure, the Hannibal City, ono of the regular Keokuk packets, alto dropped out, and both boats started up the river on a race, the Ocean Spiay having abont one hundred yards the starf, both boats ha^ng a number of parsengers, and many on board seeming to anticipate with much relish, the result of the race to Alton. Under such circumstances the officers of the boats could hardly fail to partako of the spirit of rivalry which so pervaded, the passengers, and under tho impulses of the hour seemed to have become rccldess of everything but the speed of their respective crafts. STATEMENT OF MR. J. II. DENISTONT—HOW THE

BOAT WAS SET ON FIRE.-

Mr. Deniston is from Lynchburg, Ohio, and was on his way to Florence, on the Illinois river. He had a trunk containing money and articles of apparel valued at §100, which was lost. He says when the boat started out the Hannibal City backed out just behind her, and when under good headway, sho was about a hundred yards in the rear. He says that when the Ocean Spray was within a about a mile of where sho took fire, she saw the Hannibal City gaining on her, and the command was given to put turpentine in tho furnaces. He says he had been very much interested in the race, and had taken a position in front, where the steps come down together, so that he could see them firing up. They first threw in rosin, and then the mate suggested turpentine. The captain was by when the order was given, and some of the men went down into the hold and brought up a barrel of turpentine, which had been consigned to some person in Peoria. The men toot an ax and split a itolein the head.of the barrel and then, under orders of the mate dipped the fluid out and threw it over tho coal that was lying by. This was not expeditions enough, and, the head of the barrel was knocked in, and a bucket with a piece of rope tied to it was used to dip out the turpentine. The barrel at this time was standing not more than six feet from the furnace doors. After dipping with the bucket and sprinkling the coal, sticks of wood jvere taken up and their enda plunged info tho barrel, and then laid down between the barrel and furnace. While lying there, .one of the firemen in pulling out bis rake jerked, a Jive coal, as is supposed, on tho wood, when it was immediately ignited, and blazed up furiously.

The mate swore at the men And ordered nal.

them to throw water on tho fire. The water BcemeH to diive the flames to the barrel, whib'h was soon all ablaze. The in ate grew farioua, and 6ursing tlio hands, ordered them to casjl the barrel overboard.— In attempting toftp this the barrel was Up-set,-and the burning fluid "in an instant spread all over the deck and poured in fiery torrents down into the hold. At this the -cry of fire was shouted anJ-the alarm became general. ^Mr.^Dehiston finys he immediately ran up stairs for his baggage, which was in state room No. 26. Ho dragged his trunk and carpet sack as far as tho clerk's oflice, when he saw the flames coming iu at the door in front of them. He dropped the trunk and umbrella, and made a dash for the stairway through the flames. Somehow, he says, he reached the bottom of the stairs, but not without having his hair and eyebrows pretty badly 6inged.. uHere, at the forward deck, he found a crowd of men all waiting for the boat to strike the shore. He jumped when the rest did, and landing safely, began to throw in the river all tho pieces of wood or logs he could gather on the shore.

While on tho shore he saw the women rushing over the top of the boat, some on the hurricane roof, and some, even, with their children on

4.he

texas, all imploring

for help arid screaming from the fright of tho moment. He saw one mother bring three children to tho edge of the hurricane roof, the oldest being probably abont ten years old. She first caught her youngest in her arms, and gave it a desperate fling. It struck the shore with great violence, and must have been seriously injured.— The second child sho could not throw so far, and it fell in tho water, where its little hands, paddling above the surface,- arrested the attention of some gentleman who reached in and saved it. Tho third child, being so heavy, fell father from shore, and would probably have drowned but for some noble hearted man, who having witnessed the effoits of the heroic mother, plunged in head foremost and brought the child to the surface and to the shore. Tho mother afterwards leaped into tho and was rescued.

Mr. Deniston says some four or five

women wore found clinging to one woman who was holding on to the rudder of the Star of the West.

The captain, clerk, pilots and mate were saved. Ail the cabin boys but ono called Hank were saved. Mr. Deniston says that one of them saved all his clothing, and the others having lost all, he generously offered his entiro wardrobe, and took them out behind tho trees to change their clothit'g.

Ha saw some poor Iiishman sitting on a log crying over the loss of his brother. Mr. Deniston relates. that while the flames were raging, he saw some poor woman at the railing just in front of the wheel house. Those on shore shouted to her to jump, which sho attempted to do, but was caught by her clothing, and der the railing, down into the engine room where all was one blaze of fire.

Mr. Deniston thinks there cannot havo been less than twenty lives lost. He thinks

ANOTHER BOAT BURNED BY IT. The starboard wheel of the Ocean Spray, after sho reached tho bank, continued to revolve, and broaght her close to tho stern of, and a little between the Keokuk, and tho shore. There she remained until the fire was thoroughly communicated to the Keokuk.

The latter was secured to the shore by stiong chains. She burned to the water's edge, and now lies sunk, at the bank.— There was probably nobody onboard but a watchman, and he doubtless escaped.'

Tho Ocean Spray was owned by Captain Waldo Marsh, and wag ncccounted one of the fastest boats on the western rivers. She was built ono year ago, at a cost of 836,000, and was insured in Pittsburg, probably to the amount of 820,000.

The Keokuk was built threo years ago, and was considered worth $30,000, the cost of her construction having been $50,000. She was owned by the Keokuk packet company, and insured in St. Louis offices, for $15,000, against fire, only. She was laying up for repairs, and was taken to the vicinity where she was burned, as a place where she would be safe against fire.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WASHINGTON, April 24.—The papers and correspondence between Lord Napier and the Secretary of State, called for by the Senate, relative to tho slave trade, are now before the Senate and ordered to be printed.

Mr. Cass discusses with much forca and with the slightest spice of ridicule the new scheme of forced labor called apprentices, or of involuntary emigrants, by the'French Government, and recognized by the British.

Iu conclusion he then says, "I am instructed by the President to inform your Lordship that while he is determined to execute the treaty of 1842 with fidelity and efficiency, he is not prepared, under existing circumstances, to enter into any new stipulations on the subject of the African slave trade.

The Demoeiatic Senators havo unanimously determined to sustain the report of the Conference Committee, with the exception of Douglas, Stuart and Broderick, who are against the measure.

The final question on the motion as amended to postpone the Kansas report of tho Committee of Conference till the 2d Monday in May was pending when the House adjourned, and tVill come up at the next meeting of the House.

If the motion for the previous quettion had been seconded, it would have cut ofT the motion for postponement according to the Speaker's decision, and brought the House to a direct vote on the report.

Each party seemed uncertain as to its real si ment.

From New York.

NEW YORK, April 24.—^ThoWashington correspondent of: the Herald says, in relation tb the Congressional'.proceedings of yesterday: "The Vote of the House today on the bill reported by the Committee of Conference on Kausas,. though somewhat unexpected, has not disappointed the friends of that plan of pacification. There were but three majority, while every opponent of the bill voted for postponement. Several who' will probably vote for it on its merits, also voted with the majority.— Certain Southern men, who want to go home for a time, or who want tb attend the Charleston races, voted for a postponement. The House was greatly excited, and at one time the Speaker had to call for the Sergeant-at-Arms for the purpose of separating two representatives—Gartrell, and Hill, of .Georgia—who appeared belligerent. A good deal of feeling was exhibited, and certain rather ugly expressions were used. Also in the Senate to-day between Broderick and Green, at the time tho question of submitting the Kansas report was being discussed."'

Dr. Koback and his Remedies. The success which has attended the practice of this distinguished Swedish physician, goes far to confirm the theory that the source of all disease is in the blood, His famous "Scandinavian Remedies" operate directly upon the elements of that fluid, neutralizing all corrupt and morbid matter in the circulation, and bringing back health to every organ, by purifying the stream Tthich sustains and nourishes the whole system. Certain it is that his Blood Purifier and Blood Pills have worked wonders in nervous complaints, bronchitis, rheumatism, cough, catarrh, dyspepsia, general debility, hypochondriasis, epilepsy, eruptions, scorfula, and many other painful and dangerous maladies^'Hence their great popularity.

GIDDINESS, HEADACHE &c/ These pains and disagreeable feelings are generally symptoms of some other complaint such as dyspepsia, apoplexy and various others, all of which are caused by corrupt noxious matter, clogging the various circulations hencc, a stream or rush of blood to the head, and by the excitoment a great pressure on the brain. Giddiness, head aehe, pss of memory, dimness of sight, and various other complaints are the result. Thus it will be seen that all the above painful and distressing maladies owe their origin to the blood. Dr,Morse's Indian RootPills are acknowledged to be the only medicinc that will thonougly purify the blood. They enter the blood, and follow the streams of life on its journey through the system. They root out all foul and impurity, and drive out every unhealthy obstruction. They should be taken every nightin sufficient quantities to operate briskly,by commencing with two pills on going so bed, three the next.night, four the next if the symptoms are not removed, commcnoe again with two pills and go up again as befcre. Continue in like manner until the blood is thoroughly purified, and alt pain and distress is entirely removed.

MCDONALD'S-TREATISE*

A Treatise on the Law relating to the Toward and Duties of

JUSTICES OF THE PEACE, and Constables, in the State of IndianA, with practical Forms and Essays on various Titles of the Common Law, .... BY DAVID McDONALD.

All classes of Officers of Law, will find this work a convenient, complete and accurate guide in the performance of their various official duties to the profession generally, it will prove valuable and useful, and reference to the book will show that to business men. it is a copious fountain of important anl valuable information.

Tho volume embraces everything relating to trials before Justices, with tho Law of Evidence. Contracts, Partnerships Attachments, Leins, Promissory Notes, and other subjects, interesting to every man of business.

It is a carefully arranged and well made Book, and is just whr.t the profession needed.—-Indiana Sentinel.

In our opinion, its general use by Justices of the Peace \vill tend materially to diminish litigation, obviate the frequency of appeals to higher Courts, and further the juster administration of the judicial powers vested in those Offices.

WALTER MAitsn. J. W. GORDO*. SOLOMO.V CLATPOOL. A. A. HAMMOND.

I think it, for the purposes intended, a valuable and useful work, and one that should be in the hands of very Justice of the Peace in the State, to whom it seems to me, tho book, or a similar one, is indispensable.

Jos. SULLIVAN.

I ho work will be especially valuable to tli090 for whom it was particularly designed and besides there are subjects relating to the general practice treated of, which will also render it highly valuable to the profession generallyr to whom I cheerfully recommend it.
