A CARD.

To the Editors Crawfordsville Journal.

Desiring to do justice to all persons and parties concerned, I take this method of correcting the false impressions made upon the public mind in reference to the charges against my wife for a divorce, grantby the Montgomery Circuit Court. I wish it distinctly understood that there was but one charge on which I wished to rest the case, viz., that of non-cohabitation, and that my attorney was duly instructed by me to refer to no others. But, lawyer-like, desiring to do simple iustiee to client, did a cruel injustice to the defendant in the case, by introducing one of free love, which, could she have had the opportunity of being present, she could have proven to be false. In reference to the rumors of her insanity or weakness of mind, I wish to say that I consider her sufficiently sound in mind and pure in morals to do ample justice to the child which I place in her care, with „a!l the property at her disposal.

A Correction.

To the Editors Craicfordsviile Journal:

I wish to correct an error that was made in ni}T communication to the Indianapolis Sentinel of to-day's issue. In my communication I said that "the countenances of the people of Crawfordsville presented an unusual degree of intelligence," which entitled the city to enjoy the appellation of "hub," that was so universally conceded. In my published communication they make me sa\T directly the reverse. B.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Sept. 5, 1S69.

"Politics Will Degrade Women."

There is not a dram shop in these United States that- would not allow me to enter and refresh m3Tself with a brandy sling, if I choose to go in and ask for and pay for it. What keeps me out? Can you tell me, good friends Will the right of suffrage give me one particle of additional right to do so evil a thing? There is not one scrap of law to prevent me now from the low practices and vices of the lowest humanity will voting make them more attractive to me than now? What can make the pipe, cigar, and wine cup more congenial to women than a husband's theory that they are necessary, "pleasant to the taste, and to "besired to make one wise"—backed up by his daily and hourly practice.

Many a poor woman soft as unbaked dough and sweet as sugarkisses, and as attractive as frizzles, flounces, flowers and fidgets can make her, lives with the "degradation of polities'' from babyhood to a good old age, first with father and brothers, then with a husband, sits at the same table, and lays her head on the same pillow, breathes in the same foetid breath, listens to the profanity, and endures the madness of public life, •whice is brought home to the "sacred hearth," and retains to the last her softness and sweet attractive grace. If the contact, at home and abroad, •with the politicians—for every man is a politician—three hundred and sixty-three days in a year, Fourths of July and New Years' day included, has not spoiled us wholly in the last century, do in mercy let us try the other two days and see for a little, •whether we can be any worse than •we are.—Fransis D.

The Sew Stamps.

General Terrell, the Third Assistant Postmaster General, in order to remove the dissatisfaction expressed against the present postage stamps, proposes to change them, and, with this view he has directed the Bank Note Compan}r which furnished them to prepare the new designs for the new issues. The heads of Washington. Jackson, Franklin, Lincoln and Jefferson, are to be restored, in place of the present designs, to be represented as profile busts, each to represent the various denominations. The stamps are to be larger than those now in use, and oblong. Instean of one hundred and fifty being printed on a sheet there will be only one hundred. The former color— red—will also be restored. A month or two maj' elapse before the new stamps will be ready.—Lafayette Courier.

BUSINESS MENTION. Window Glass.

Billy Fry says he is selling Window Glass at 20 to 30 per cent, less than Pittsburgh rates.

The Early Rose Potato.

Some two weeks ago Mr. Sylvester Hopping, of Ripley township, presented me with some of the finest specimens of the Early Rose Potatoes which I have ever seen. They were large, smooth and solid to the center. When boiled they flake like lime, and when eaten are found "to be dry, white and floury, agreeabie to the taste, and the very perfection of all a potato should be. For etable purposes they cannot be excelled by any early potato that has ever fallen under my observation. But their good qualities do not end here. They are two or three weeks earlier than any other potato which has been introduced. The papers of the day are constantly surprising the public by "the enormous yield of the Eaily Rose potato, and from facts already made known, it is not too much to say that with proper care and cultivation one pound of seed will produce two to three hundred pounds tubers. I am told Mr. Hopping was the first man to introduce the culture of the Early Rose in Montgomery county. In the Spring of 1868 he purchased five pounds of the Early Rose potatoes for seed at Rochester, New York, fer which he paid fifteen dollars—three dollars per pound— and planted them last year. This year, 1869, he planted their product, together with one barrel more purchased at the same place at a cost of forty-eight dollars, being in all four and one-half bushels, whicii this Fall produced four hundred and fifty bushels. This shows the enormous yield of one hundred bushels of the tubers to one bushel of the seed. From one pound of seed obtained from Mr. Hopping, I have this year raised even a greater yield proportionately than his. I have no hesitation in pronouncing the Rose the best early potato that has ever been offered in this market.

The great incomprehensible

S I A S E

Of the Nineteenth Centurv.

'"THIS wonderful negro boy pianist, who is attracting much attention throughout the country, was born in Georgia. Blind from his birth, ancl without a ray of ordinary intelligence, yet he plays the most difficult operatic pieces, not only brilliantly and beautifully, but with all taste, expression ancl feeling of the most distinguished artist. When his mind became clouded and the veil of darkness was drawn over his eyes, as if to make amends for the afflictions upon the poor negro boy, a Hood of light was poured into his brain, and his mind became an opera of beauty, written by the hand of God in syllables of music for the delight of ibe world. He is presented to the public as surpassing everything heretofore known as a musical phenomenon.

Doors open at seven o'clock to commence at eight. Seats may be secured in advance at L. A. Foote & Co'.'s Book Store.
