HENRY JOHNKOX, of Ladoga, Democratic candidate for Clerk, gave the JOURNAL office a call last Thursday morning. He does not report the chances for the candidates of either of "the present corrupt political parties" as very flattering in Scott and Clark townships. The bulk of the "Reformers" live in those two townships.
THE suit ot James McCabc against the Commissioners of Fountain county for tbat $7,000 fee is not ended yet. The case was tried a few months ago in the Superior Court of Marion county and decided in favor of the Commissioners. The plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court, and that tribunal has overruled the decision of the lower court and ordered anew trial.

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT FACTORY.—The Board of Directors of the Montgomery County Manufacturing Company met last Thursday. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to examine and have an invoice made of the Brower plow factory made a report, which was substantially adopted. It was agreed to take the building, stock and fixtures at their cash value, the same to be credited as stock subscribed and paid in.
The property, omitting patterns and some
material not invoiced, was valued at $5,500. The action of the committee was ratified at a meeting of the County Council of Patrons of Husbandry held the same day. The Council also adopted a resolution urging every Grange in the county to appoint a committee to solicit subscriptions of stock from its members. The factory is to be located at Crawfordsville. It has been agreed that no assessment shall be made until the subscriptions reach $40,000, and an eflort will be made to have the capital stock far exceed that amount. There was a good meeting of the County Council and a strong feeling was manifested in favor of the enterprise. Two experienced manufacturers from La Fayette and Richmond were ["resent, both of whom spoke in the highest terms of our city as a location for a manufacturing establishment of the kind proposed. The enterprise is in a good shape now, and we hope to see the plan speedily and fully carried out. The location of such a manufactory in our midst would add very greatly to the prosperity of our growing city.
IMPORTANT DECISION.—Judge Thomas this week decided an important question between John V. Keeran and the county Treasurer, Mr. Herron. The Treasurer levied upon property of Mr. Keeran and advertised it for sale to pay a tax assessment against him. Mr. Keeran filed a complaint to enjoin the sale, setting up that at the time the assessment was made he was a citizen and resident of Iowa, and that the property assessed consisted entirely of notes, accounts, bonds, &c. Judge Thomas decided that property of this kii.d has no situs or .sil'iulion but the residence of the owner that in contemplation of law the property in question was not in Indiana but in Iowa, where the owner resided that the notes, bonds, &c., are not the things taxed really, but are mere evidences of debt due the owner A perpetual injunction was granted. The bonds and notes on which the tax was levied were on deposit in the First National Bank of this city when they were assessed.
THE curious fact is developed by the County Superintendent's examination into the school funds, that nearly every saloon keeper in the county is a borrower. The curious part of this discovery is,not that saloon keepers should receive assistance from that source, but that they should require it at all. A saloon keejer who can give good security, we suppose, has as good a legal right to the school funds to assist him in his business as the dry goods merchant or farmer. But it is generally supposed that the whisky business, however objectionable or unpopular, was at least profitable, and that its followers were independent of moneylenders. It seems, however, that they too are borrowers and must depend upon the Auditor for accommodation.
CITY SCHOOLS.—Superintendent Fullen requested us to say that the public schools of this city will open next Monday. All pupils who attended the public schools last year are requests to be present on Monday morning at 9 o'clock promptly. No new pupils will be assigned on Monday. They are, therefore, requested not to be present until Tuesday morning. All new pupils who were present for assignment on Tuesday or Wednesday will be regarded as present from the opening of the schools. There will be a preliminary meeting of the teachers this afternoon at 3o'clock in the school building, room No. 13.

THE CRAWFORDSYILLE SATURDAY EVENING JOURNAL.
SELLING WITHOUT A PERMIT.—The Board of Commissioners at their last June session granted a permit to Henry L. Applegate to sell liquor. From the decision of the Board granting the license Rev. John Safford who was permitted to remonstrate appealed to the Circuit Court. The Grand Jury last week returned an indictment against Applegate's clerk for selling contrary to law. The case was tried Wednesday last. The clerk tried to justify the sale under the permit, but Judge Thomas decided that the Auditor had no authority to issue the permit to Applegate after the appealj directed to Col. Carrington. This was taken, and that the permit being dispatch says Mr. Campbell is fata issued without authority of law, was entirely void and no protection to either
Applegate or his clerk. A fine of ten dollars was assessed against the defendants.
THE following eloquent peroration is from the lips of James E. Cowan, Esq., in the celebrated "jack" case tried yesterday in the Circuit Court: "Gentlemen of the Jury, it will be argued by the learned counsel for the plaintiff, Gen. Wallace, that the jack
die(1 from
the effect of disease contracted
on the journey from the residence of the plaintiff to Waveland, a distance of twenty-four miles. Appealing to your judgment, gentlemen, 1 ask if it is not more reasonable to suppose that he died from mortification and chagrin over the recollections of a misspent life."
THE Review this week publishes the result of an interview with Joe Ingersoll, who confesses to the murder of Nehemiah Ham near Alamo several years ago. Ingersoll is living with his father Campbell death.
•AVE formed the acquaintance of .Mr. Samuel Smith, of Montgomery couniv, on Thursday last while en route for Indianapolis. He is the Republican nominee for Sheriff of that county, and informed us that his chances for election were good. We can't say as to that, but of one thing we feel assured, that if elected he will perform the duties of that office with credit to himself and his coustituencv.— Covington Friend.
ACCORDING to an order passed this week by the County Commissioners other counties having prisoners confined in our jail will be charged 15 cents per day for fuel and lights for every prisonea so confined. No such charge has been made heretofore, though our county has usually been obliged to pay it to other counties when our prisoners partook of the hospitalities of their Sheriffs.
IN the case of Mack and others against Elizabeth -Bennet, Judge Thomas has sustained the motion of the plaintiff for judgment for $1,000 on the special finding of t!:e jury. The effect of the decision is that the defendant has only a life estate in the land in controversy, and the judgment of $1,000 is to cover damages sustained by the heirs from the cutting of timber on the land.
THE Good Templar camp meeting at Meharry's grove last Saturday and Sunday was a decided success. The attendance on Sunday was estimated at fully two thousand. The speakers were Rev. Henry Chance, E. B. Reynolds, P. S. Kennedy, H. H. Wade and \V. S. Lingle.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
J. I*. ('Hmphrll liOMfi llolh Arm* mill on the Kallruiul.
The sad and startling intelligence was received this morning of a proably fatal accident to J. P. Campbell, of the dry I goods firm of Campbell and Harter. A dispatch from the surgeon in charge of I the hospital at Buffalo to Col. Carring-! ton states that Mr. Campbell is lying I there with both arms and both legs cut off by a railroad accident. The sad news is confirmed by a dispatch from Thomas H. Sharpe, of Indianapolis, also latter ally injured.
The sad news casts a gloom over the whole city. Only last Thursday even ing Mr. Campbell left his home full oi life, health, ambition and hope, to visit New York to make the Fall purchases for the dry goods store in which he has long been the leading spirit.
He was one of the shrewdest and most successful of our merchants, and one of the most enterprising of our citizens. His loss will be deeply felt by the community.

murder, though greatly troubled by the
memory of the horrible deed. He came

THE social event of the week was the marriage of Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, of Indianapolis, to Mrs. Armaniha Vance Oil Tuesdav. The ceremony was formed by Rev. S. Yundt at the Episcopal church. The church was well filled with friends and relatives of the bride and groom. Immediately after the ceremony was finished the happy couple.took their departure for Indianapolis on the I., B. & W. road, followed by the good wishes of a large number of friends.
No particulars of the accident had been received at the hour of going to press, though it probably occurred about' 7 o'clock Friday evening, as the train was due at Buffalo at that time, and the first dispatch was forwarded at 8 o'clock,

COLLLUE NOTES.
Dr. Tuttle is absent at Clinton, New ork, where he has gone to accompany his daughter, Josie, to the Female Seminary at that place. Through the present term the Doctor will be absent one recitation a week, to which the Seniors and Juniors do not object. The cause of his absence is appointments to preach at distant places.
At last the long expected caitridges have arrived. About three years airo it was reported that they were on the way, but owing to some delay in transportation they did not arrive until a few days since. This will create quite a new interest in the military exercises. Col. Carrington has already begun to organize companies.
The Literary societies began their' year's work last evening. In the Calliopean the Civil Rights Bill was brought up for discussion, the decision being in favor of the bill. Taxation to build railroads was also ventilated, resulting in a negative decision. The societies are now in a very prosperous condition, having liquidated all their debts.
