from the Cincinnati Gazette and endorses the utteranc: "All thing considered, the dodgers are the most disreputable of the whole army of grabbers. For most, their absence really counted one for the steal." Gen. Slanson belonged to this class and is thus condemned by the Pharos.

FEARS are expressed that the attempt to improve the SVabash & Erie Canal will prove a failure, notwithstanding the liberal provision m:. le for county appropriations by the last Legislature. Huntington and Cass counties have both refused to make the appropriation, and it is claimed the aid recently granted in Allen county is given on such conditions as to render it useless

REPRESENTATIVE CIIEBBB, of Illinois, has returned to the Treasury his extra pay. Mr. Crebbs says: "As I persistently opposed the passage of the bill for the increase of pay, I can not conscientiously accept the money." If Gen. Slanson "persistently opposed" the passage of the salary steal bill, as his mouthpiece says he did, how can he conscientiously accept the money?

MANSON'S organ, the Hrrinv, begins the defense of its master, in last Saturday's paper, with another one of the appropriate and significant head lines, for which it is to be commended. "The Deacon [JOURNAL] Sticks." Uatlier an ambiguous remark. Possibly the writer may explain rway the doubtful meaning should the General discover it, but those three words tell more than the remainder of the article, for the truth is, the undei. ninble facts given in last week's JofitNAL do "stick."

THE Anderson Herald gives a full account of throwing the first shovel full of dirt on the A., L. & St. L. Railroad last Thursday. The weather was unfavorable though the crowd was sufficient ly large in number to show the genuine interest in its behalf. President Slihvell filled a wheelbarrow full of earth and it was trundled offby Maj. MeCann one of the contractors, to its proper place. Speeches were made on the occasion, and it was a time of general good feeling.

llie Review has evidently done Gen. Slanson a great injustice in its attempt to prove that he voted against the salary bill. It might have been pleasant for the General if he could have had the claim made good by his friends, and we are not sure that he would have put any obstacle in the way of their doing it, but still there would have been the lingering fear that the truth might come out some day and leave him in an embarrassing situation. It was much better to acknowledge the "authenticity of the House Journal." The Globe dodge lasted for a week. That was quite as long as it could be expected to last. Gen. Manson "dodged" on the final vote.

which exists in that State. Grant I'ar ish, latelv finned out of a portion of liapides, is located on Hod Kiver, in t.ie central part of Louisiana, the county seat, Colfax, being a small town about twenty miles Iroin Alexandria. It is a section of the country beyond the reach of the telegraph, and all tie information obtainable islh.it brought by steamboat to New Orleans.

At th.1 e'ect on iu Loui-ian 1 ist N vember, which resulted a double set of returns and a double set of nllL-ials throughout the State, Grant V.uish wnalllicted with the prevailing double set of officers, lloth parties claiming their ticket was chosen, a id the consequence was that for every comity ollice, excepting that of county Judge, there were tvo claimants. It appears that certificates were obtained in some way bv the "Fusion," or SIcKm ry caudi lates, those who had been supported by the combined l.iber.Js and Democrats at the election, and at 111• beginning of the current month these persons were iu possession oi the county olfices. The regular Kepub lican candidates, of course, claimed the oilices. and about three weeks ago both sets are reported to have had a st irmv interview with Gov. Kellogg, at New Orleans, in which he declared he would recognize neither as entitled to commissions as the lawful officials, and advised them to compromise the dispute. Another report indicates that the regular Republicans subsequently got commissions, but how docs not appear, and gathering together a party of their adherents, said to be chidlv negroes, then went to Colta.x to take forcible possession. Tliev entered the town April 2, eapt ired the Court House without resistance, in-tali-ed theaise've in the oflic-s, and thusgoi control of atl'iir-. The Court House ia large building, previously used as a sugar house. Some of th- ir adherents -ire said to have icked the houses of the ousted officials, and the la.t-'r were eoinpe'led to leave tie town.

The Republican officers, with their band of armed -upportei's, appear to have remained iu ltu lisi.uted possession until la-t Sunday, April Hi. The ousted party, however, were not intending to submit quietly, and at Alexandria and two or three other neighboring places were mustering their forces to retake the town, rhe Colfax garrison, who had pickets out a long distance, upon this information reaching them, sent for aid, and ultimately got. together a 'oree of about lot), chh-lly iiegroe-. They barricaded the Court House, throwing tip a breastwork of colt bales around it, and there were various reports of their driving out the families opposed to them, scouring the neighboring country for supplies and committing various excesses. The proceedings at both Colfax and Alexandria, indicating that a conflict was impending, caused quite a commotion in the surrounding country.

The result is already known. The Fusion party attacked Colfax last Sunday, captured the breas'.worksand drove the defenders into the Court House. The latter are said to have sent out a flag o! truce and then fired r.po:i the deputation sent out to meet it, wounding several o! the Fusionists severely. Then came the great horror. The Court House was fired many were burned to death those trying to escape were shot down like sheep. The United States Slarshal visited Colfax on the Wednesday following the collision, and found the place alnw st deserted, except by women. The burned remains of sixty colored men were found on the field. It is reported that subsequent to the burning of the Court House thirty-lour colored men. previously made prisoners, were taken to the river bank in couples, and there shot and then thrown overboard. The assa'lants had in their possession a six pound cannon, taken, or as some allege loaned, from a Red River steamer. United States troops are on the ground.

The actors in the woman tragedy at Eureka, Illinois, are very well known in some portions of Indiana. Rev. T. C. Workman for several years held pastoral relations ill several of the smaller towns along the Western border of the State, tie was stationed at Perrvsville, in Vermillion county, Stockwell and other points. The La Fayette Courier has the following paragraph in relation to the gen'leman and his wife: "Sir. Workman will be remembered as a tall and somewhat singular man, without anything really prepossessing, or marked indications of mental and moral culture he indicates strength of intellect, a degree of cultivation and good traits of character.

His ministrations have been acceptable to the Church, as is indicated by his returning and remaining a second year. His reputaiion has been good. Sirs. Workman is, perhaps, not much over forty years of age, rather below tho medium stature. She is said to be a woman of impulsive temperament and ungovehicd temper, somewhat given to profanity, the "raiding of'and making lionie unpleasant. Though the wife of a minister, she was not until recently a church member was not in the habit of attending church, and her social traits ami habits re such that she made comparatively few acquaintances in the town. She had been in a state bordering on frenzy for near a week before the murder, having about that time found part of the correspondence between her husband and the deceased.

The modern methods of canning and of drying fruits are so superior, and the profits so certain and large, that increased attention should lie paid to fruit growing and it is now of far less consequence than formerly whether an orchard is near a railroad station or not.

In Illinois the business of preserving fruit is just opening to large dimensions, at one place 13.000 bushels of app'es were dried by one of the several processes, also 00 bushels of peaches, and 500 pumpkins and the amount paid for the raw material and for labor in the various ways wa over $7,000, while the market value of the crop exceeded $20,000. At Qiiincv over 500 b'ishe's'of tomatoi we inned also3,000 bushel of peaches, and -100 quarts of raspberries. The same establishment put up 3,000 barrels of pickles. The outlays were $S,000 and a great number of men and girls were employed, while their sales amounted to over $40,000. SVe hear of other places where fruit and vegetables were put up, and in no small quantities.

There are two or three methods by which the drying is done, but all embrace the same feature, that is, the passing of blasts of hot air through the fruit, by which means, regardless ol the state of the weather, the process goes oil uninterruptedly. The best thing about this business is, that the sales are more certain and remunerative than for any other kind of farm products, nor does there seem the least probability that the market will be overstocked. For many years, at least, the demand must be simply immense, for, aside from towns aid cities, there are the vast plains and the mountain mining regions, and military posts, and ships at sea as well as hundreds of thousands of people living on new farms West and Soutli, who will want such supplies. There will be no hifli per cent for railroad charges, no damage arising from bad weather, and no spacious barns will be required. We hope to see enterprising men take hold of the business with energy, giving employment and hope to many people, and making themselves rich.

ItMlltitut liOMinjf its Forpnf TrcnfturoN. [From the Indianapolis S'ntimi.] Not any ui knows, and a very few imagine, to what extent, in the agregate, the valuable timber of the State is beinir swept a way. Take the operations of one man as an example, (.'apt. li. Curry is the walnut man for a firm in Indianapolis. His business is to buy standing walnut trees for lumber, to cut which the mills tj the number of three or four are located out of sight at convenient points. The walnut man calls upon the possessor or fine trees which have stood upon the lands for a century, which cost' nothing, and which till lately have been regarded as an incumbrance upon the farm. He has money, and money cumin.' so easy is mighty seductive. He buys the tree, walks up to it, and with a peculiar instrument for the purpose blazes a smooth place with one stroke, and by a second stamps his initials upon the trunk, and leaves the property, requiring neither care nor expense, to be taken away at a convenient time. Capt. Curry is rusticating for the present season in Parke county, a section ol country rich, vastly rich, iii its soil, niHierals, and its magnificent timber. Since the first of January, scarcely three months he has bought standing trees to the value of $-17,000. In one neighborhood alone he has lately put his proprietary stamp upon 1,075 fine old walnut". He pays for them. The average price per tree is about $20. For one lot of ninety acres, on which there arc standing 270 walnuts ar.d 400 large and fine poplars, he has left a standing oiler of $100 per acre, or $9,000 for the land. The fine timber alone is worth the amount, besides tho timber of less value and a rich quarry of building stone. In one instance, $418 was paid for the timber alone on three acres. These are large prices, and show that the ]eople are wlioly unaware of what they are doing. Yet it is said on as good authority as buys the timber, that men are selling trees every day for $3 and $4 that ought to bring $10, and would if the sellers knew their real value.
