THE JOURNAL.

THURSDAY, : : SEPT. 28. 1865.

The State vs. The Board of Commissioners of Montgomery Co. We inadvertently omitted in our last weeks' issue, to state that this case had been disposed of in our Circuit Court and appealed to the Supreme Court.— The complaint was a petition for a mandamus to compel the County Board to levy a tax to pay the amount lost to the Stale by Schooler's defalcation.— The attorney's for the county waived the issuing and service of the writ, appeared and filed a demurrer to the petition, which raised at once the main question in the case, namely, can the State hold a county liable for a county Treasurer's defalcation after the tax has once been paid to him? Judge Cowan, in an elaborate opinion, held 1st, that the law was not intended to cover a case of this kind—that the citizens having once paid their taxes to a lawfully constituted agent of the State to receive the same, could not be required to pay a second time. 2d, That if the statute was intended to cover such a case, the section is void because the subject matter of the section is not expressed in the title to the act, and is not a matter properly connected therewith. If this decision should be affirmed, (and there is not much doubt that it will be,) it will relieve our citizens of the payment of some $40,000 of taxes.

Taxing U. S. Bonds.

The Supreme Court of the United States has three times, within the last forty years, solemnly decided that a State does not possess the power to levy a tax on United States Bonds— Judge Marshall and Judge Taney, both concurring in the decision. Yet, copperhead papers say the Bonds must be taxed or the National Debt repudiated. When Taney decided a "negro had no rights a white man was bound to respect," the democratic party everywhere said "amen, the decision of the Supreme Court is final." But when the same Judge decides that U. S. Bonds cannot be taxed, they won't submit at all. The decision in the bond case is anything but final.

The Republican politicians tell us that it is the negro soldier who saved the Union!

This is a compliment to the white soldier which he will appreciate.—Review.

Republican politicians simply maintain that the negro soldiers performed the part in our country's salvation that ought to have been performed by the democrats; that with southern rebels and northern copperheads combined against the government, the rebellion could not have been suppressed without the assistance of the negro. If the democratic party of the north had been true to the country, negro soldiers would not have been necessary. They were only called in to fill the places of copperheads who went into the rebel army, or fled to Canada to avoid the draft. It is "only this and nothing more," that Republican politicians maintain.

Let every democrat be sure to vote for John E. Corbin on the 10th of next month.—Review. —And let every Union man be sure, to vote for—somebody else—Samuel Marts, for instance; and success is certain—no mistake.

MONTGOMERY FAIR. Our County Fair has been going on since Tuesday. The attendance is largo and the amount of stock, grain, vegetables, machinery, &c., is immense. To-day the ladies' riding match comes off. A vast crowd will be on hand to witness it. The new Floral Hall does credit to the manaagers of the Fair. It is filled with handiwork ornamental, useful; farm and garden products, of all descriptions, fruits, wines, &c., &c. Let all go and see who have not.

The Banner.

Bowers of the "Banner Store," it will be seen, has flung to the breeze his regular semi-annual address; to his patrons and the rest of mankind. The Banner is one of the live institutions of our country and its energetic proprietor, ever up with the times— never allowing business to flag nor his shelves to grow barren and dusty.

The enterprising firm of C. Guthrie & Sons, we notice, are still in receipt of new goods—a general stock of all the latest styles and patterns. Call at Guthries'.

We shall have something to say

in our next issue, in relation to the workings of the "secret police;" a subject engrossing the time and deeply affecting the slumbers of the Soup of the Review for the past three weeks.

Troy Brothers' grand combina­-

tion minstrel troupe, will give one of their unique entertainments at McClelland's Hall this evening. Go and see them.

Metalic Broom Head. Our readers of the country, while in attendance at the Fair this week, should not fail to examine particularly the new and important invention, the Metalic Broom Head. With the use of this heading every farmer is enabled with little or no trouble to manufacture his own broom whenever needed. It is on exhibition at the Fair; don't fail to see it.

Boot and Shoe Trade. As the season is near at hand when the people will naturally commence looking around for "shoe leather," it may not be amiss to mention the fact that our friends E. B. Curtis & Brother are again in the market with probably the largest and most complete stock of Boots, Shoes, Leather and shoe-findings they have ever had the pleasure of offering to the public. In size and quality this stock is excelled by few houses in the Wabash Valley. The Curtis Brothers have been long enough in our midst to be pretty generally known and the people find that they not only buy and manufacture largely, but that they are reasonable fair-dealing business men; consequently building up for themselves a great and ever-living trade. Farmers and country manufacturers, while in attendance at the Fair this week, will find it to their several interests to call at their house, if for nothing else than an examination of goods.

BOLD ROBBERY.

The Lafayette Journal of Monday says, "a young man named Martin, living at Taylor's Station, seven miles below the city, was in town on Saturday and purchased a pair of new boots, new hat, &c., and about dark started for home. Before getting far from the Square, he was accosted by a party of two or three men, who inquired where he was going. On telling them one of them remarked that they were going to Crawfordsville, and would be company for him. He assented, and they went off together. When they reached the woods near where the Wabash and N. A. railroads cross each other, his friendly companions knocked him down and robbed him of everything he had, and rolled him down the bank in an insensible condition. On recovering, he came back to the city, and secured the services of officer Howard, but no trace of the robbers or their plunder could be found."

Miss Braddon, the novelist—English and prolific—has red hair and is over thirty. She has made over $200,000 with her pen in the last four years.

A woman in Charlestown, Mass.,

has a family of tame toads in her yard. She feeds them, pets them up, dresses them on Sundays in velvet, and on other days in drab, kisses them, and otherwise tenderly cares for them.

Come till America, Pat!" writes

a son of the Emerald Isle, to his friend in Ireland "'tis a fine country to get a living in. All ye have to do is to get a three cornered box, and fill it wid bricks and carry it till the top of a four-story building, and the man at the top does al! the work!"

HALL MONTGOMERY LODGE, NO. 50, F. A. M. Crawfordsville, Sept. 22d, 1865. At a special meeting of the Lodge, called this day for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to the remains of Brother Jacob Carney, the Committee to draft resolutions, made the following report, which was unanimously adopted: "WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of all things to remove from our presence our Brother Jacob Carney, therefore be it

Resolved, That while we can find no language to express our sorrow at the death of our Brother, we bow in humble resignation to the will of Him whom, as Masons, we are bound to revere and honor and who doeth all things well.

Resolved, That his bereaved family and friends have our kindest sympathy in this their affliction, and that while we tender them the consolations which friendly hearts may always offer, our willing hands are ever ready, if in any way we can lighten the burden their great sorrow has brought upon them and we shall be proud and happy to render them any service which may be in our power.

Resolved, That the Jewels and Furniture of the Lodge be draped and the Brethern wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

Resolved, That these resolutions be entered on the Records of the Lodge, that they be published in the city papers and that a certified copy be furnished the widow of our deceased brother

A VOICE FROM VICKSBURG. VICKSBURG, Miss., Aug. 9, 1863. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I am happy to state to you that I have used your valuable Cedron Bitters with great benefit to myself, in general debility and prostration of my system produced by the unhealthy and miasmatic influence of the Mississippi river around Vicksburg, having been with Gen. Grant's army through its whole southern campaign. I confidently recommend its use to all persons who are exposed to unhealthy climates. H. W. FOGLE,

Agent U. S. Sanitary Commission.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 16, 1863.

On the 23d of July last, I submitted, through an agent of mine, to the Medical Director of the Department of the Army of the Cumberland, a sample of my Cedron Bitters, for inspection, and requested if, after analysis, he found it meritorious, to sanction and approve its use among our soldiers. The following is the Medical Director's reply, and also Gen. Roseerans' permission to ship 300 dozen at once, to have it sold to sutlers.

JOHN BULL.

I am satisfied that Cedron Bitters will do no harm to any one if taken properly and in moderation. I see no objection to Dr. Bull's being permitted to dispose of it to sutlers.

William D. Paul, of Peekskill, New York, lately lost both legs by an accident on the Hudson River Railroad.— He has sued the road for $10,000 damages.

The People's Favorite. The rapidly increasing popularity of Roback's Bitters is the most convincing proof of their merits, and a silent expression of public opinion in their favor. There is not another instance in the annals of this age, of a remedy relying entirely on its own intrinsic ineaits becoming so universally appreciated.

It has been said by men who have used these Bitters and noticed their effect in the community, that the general health of the nation is much improved since their introduction. They can be purchased everywhere and are used by almost every one, and those who have not tried them sho'd do so without delay, as it may be the means of preventing a lingering illness. [sept.

BILL. BOWERS' SEMI-ANNUAL ADDRESS!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF

MONTGOMERY & SURROUNDING COUNTIES: Again permit to tender our warmest thanks for the very liberal patronage bestowed on us and hoping still to merit the same, we would say to you and all others that the

OLD 'BANNER' STILL WAVES

and that we are now daily receiving our Fall and Winter Stock, comprising a full line of all kinds of Goods heretofore kept by us, all of which we propose to sell just a little cheaper than the cheapest.

Wc do not say that we sell more goods than any house in Indiana; we prefer to tell a story that somebody will believe, But we do say—and those who will favor us with a call can be convinced that we will sell goods a little cheaper than any other house in this city. Our stock is now full and complete and will be kept so during the fall and winter. Then we say to all cash or ready-pay buyers to give us a call and we will make it to

YOUR INTEREST

to trade at the "Banner." As we sell no goods on a credit, of course we have no bad debts to make up off of our customers.

Neither have we lost anything in outside speculations to be made back from our customers; but our system of doing business is uniform—all goods marked in plain figures, at small profits, and sold at marked prices; none need fear of being deceived.

Then come from the hills, from the plains and the valley, Come to the "Banner" with a rush and a rally And don't be deceived by the little side show That keeps open daily on C. O. M. Row.

You've all seen the "Elephant" and paid out your money 'Till its lost all its novelty, and ceased to be funny. The "Mammoth" has bellowed and made so much noise, It has lost its attraction for all but the boys.

And other old fogies have lived out their day, And only keep store to have some place to stay. But the "Banner's" alive and up with the times, And always will give you the worth of your dimes.

Then pass the side shows, the 'Mammoths' and all, And come to the "Banner," and give us a call. You'll find when you call that we mean what we say, Then call at the "Banner," you'll find it will

pay.

And that is the word that make the world move, In business, in politics, or even in love. The first question asked by men of this day, The first question asked is—'will the thing pay?'
