This new paper has made ita appearance, ac cording to programme. It is mammoth in size, forty columns, the largest journal io the Northwest, and perhaps in the country, and its well filled colon: us of tdrertisements presents tbe evidence of encouraging material support. Allowance must of course be made for patting tbe machinery of a nw paper, editorial and me chanical, io running order; but we must say in comparing it with its Chicago contemporaries, there is room for improvement. We copy in full its introduction to the public, as it expresses some sentiment! commendable io tuCüilves, which shoulJ control tbe conduct of every paper: In the ergtntzition ol lbs editorial Jeparment of Tue Cmcato RiruiLiCAW the proprietors have at once elevated their paper above all suspicion of making it tbe special organ of any man or et of men, or committing it io advance ta any peculiar local interest, personal or corporate, iu tbe city or State. The Republican will Mart out with a clean bill of health, untainted by any past and untrammelled by any present local combination of per sons or parties. Aiming to attain the highest position as leading political and commercial journal of the Northwest, our paper will be placed at once above the reach of deigning or ambitious men who may eeek to control it col ucolb for the purposes of personal or political aggrandizement, and will go forth daily hereafter a it goaa forth to day with not a single editorial line upon ita pgei dictated by soy other motive than the public good If those wWe? interests are not likely to be materially advanced by tbe success of our undcrtating attack us, and belie our motif es and ohjecU, we will lease an intelligent public to judge as between us and them, and treat these petty personalities with that silence which best romporu with the true dignity of a useful and intelligent public journal. The Republican states wLat should be the true mission of every ptper. It should not be the organ for any let of tern for the purpeso of personal or political aggrandizement. When a paper is thus trammeled, but little, if any confi dence can be placed in the views it promulgates. It cannot be independent, because it must accommodate Itself to the personal interna of those tt represents In another respect we commend the position of tbe Republican, and we hope i will have the resolution to adhere to it If its motives and objects are belied, instead of retortlog in kind, it promises to traat auch petty personalities with thit silence which best comports with the true dignity of a useful and intelligent pahÜC journal. The persoual quarrels of papers, or their personal attacks upou each other, never accomplished auy good end, but instead, they have tbe tendency to degrade the profession, and destroy or Injure their influence. To avoid these personalities which are so common in American party papers, we have long since come to the concluiou there should be n editori l individuality in a patty newspaper. What cares the reader who writes the editorials of a newspaper ? It makes no difference as to the merits or demerits of an article, whether one in dividual or another prepares it. la fact, so far ae the leading journals are coucerned, the Often sible editor only writes a portion, and often a amall portion, of the editorials. Apolitical cr parly paper advocates and defends tbe principles and policy of the parly it represents The paper presents not the views of thoe who conduct it, of its editors, merely, hut the opinions of the party it represents iu the aggregate. The party, through it organization iu some shape, enunciates its platform of principles auJ its line of policy, and it then becomes the duty of Us r.ewspaper organ to tnaii.taiu and defend them. Who theo speaks, is it the individual who conducts the paper, or tbe party that supports it and gives it the rule for its guidai.ee ? For instance, the Journal is tbe organ of the Republican party of loditua, and in its editorial conduct it follows tbe leid of its party, not the peculiar notions of its editors. How few have either known or cared, even during the past four years who have been ita editors? And it is of no consequence, for the party having dictated the principles and policy upon which it is to stand, the party becomes responsible for the sentiments of the paper, not those who conduct it. To be sure the editor is amenable to bis party for the manner io which be discharges the trust confided to him, but this does not relieve the organization which the paper represents from responsibility far ill seutimeats. If paper is independent, and represents only tbe peculiar ideas of its editor, ihsn properly the couductor should be accountable for its sentiments Rut, to repeat, when a paper is the organ of a party, it is not the editor who speaks, but the party it represents, hence his individually is lost, lie stands In the same relation to the public generally, as the agent dt to the priucipal. and the editor of a party paper i no more responsible truo the spent when he is carrying cut the instructions of his principal.

Tbe Legislature of Connecticut has voted iu favor of it, but the question has to be submitted to a vote of the people. Tbe issue of negro suffrage will be one of the dividing party lines in the future, and we have no doubt when it is fairly and sousrelv sub milted to the people, the great Northwest will go overwhelmingly against the proposition. .Tfueterlnfc? Out Troops A Mew Order An order has just been icsued by the War De partment for the muster out of all white troops, (except-Veteran Reserve Corps) whose terms of service expire prior to the 17th of October next. The above is understood to be merely an extension of the order recently issued for Siiibmax's army, so aa to include all other armies snd departments. For the SenUneL Idler'e Home." Ms. Ei'iTot: Will you permit a citizen of one of tbe counties of Iudiaua to enter bid solemn protest against the establishment of a State " Soldier's Home " at Indianapo'is. . This ' Home,' if I understand tbe dexigu, is to be something like the Hospital of the Invalides at Paris, intended to receive the maimed and crippled soldiers of Indiana, as that docs of France, and support them at the expense of the whole .S:ate, either by voluntary coutributious or a pub lie tax. I think the location at Indianapolis indefensible and unjust, both to the people of In diana aod to the gallant soldiers themselves; and for the following reasons: 1. It would not. and could not be " a home" for any maimed soldier outside of Marion county indeea outside of Indianapolis and especially tw those who are blessed with a wife and children, for I take it for grauted that tho getters up of this "home" hare no idci of taking into that building all the wives and children of the maimed soldiers of the State. What srt of a "home" would it be for the crippled soldier of Wayue county, who has a wife and children there, or for a soldier from Floyd, or Vigo, or Allen, or Dearborn, or Like, or Ltporte 1 A wounded and maimed soldier would not leave bis family to accept the hospitality of au institution wnich would separate him from those bo loves, leaving them to struggle for a sub science aleue snd unaided. True soldiers are not thus constituted. They have hearts in their bosoms, and affections which the lots of a limb ueither expels nor obliterates. The brave men who never knew fer in battle could not be induced to desert their d irling for such a home ss that. They would spurn your "home," lor. as has been beautifully expressed, " 'tis home whet 'er the heart is." "2. As a "home" for the sotdiors of Indiana, it never can be made useful, lor the reason which are pet forth above. To a-k the msimcd and crippled to go to InJUn ipolls, and to levo the families which they love, would be insulting to their feelings as husbands, ptrents and brothers Not one in a hundred would ever darken the In dianapolis "Home." They would prefer rem tin ing at their present residences in the various counties and townships, and take their chances ol support and uccs amongst their old neighbors and associates Let the reader put the question to himself: Would I, if wounded and crippled, desert my family would I accept a "Home" a hundrcJ miles from that wife and children, aud leave them to the hardships the charity and tbe vices of the world? Every parent, husband and brother will give tbe answer. It would be an iudigtiaot negative. 1 desire that the people of Indiana should look upon this (jue-lion practically. No doubt the people of Indianapolis and Marion countv should have a " Home " for soldiers. It should be ooo for fArir otcn crippled and maimed war riors, and they should build audtntintain it at their own expemc, as other counties aud cities will be called upon to do I heartily approve of the movement instituted at the Capital, as a local measure of its owu, and hope every county in Iudiaua will take steps to imitate a " Home " of a similar, character. It must be done, for it is just to thoe who lave deserved the gratitude of their country. As I am au honest objector to this Iudiaoa polis "Home" icherae, as a Statt enterprise, perhapd I ought to tnske a suggestion of tbe better way. This will be done in a few words: I. I would establish County Houkr. or even Tow.hsuip Homes, aud provide for their support by equitable taxation, and by private dtiatious. I would keep their tnansgemeut iu the hands of the people of the counties or townships, and by that means secure the comfort of those soldiers ho are their neighbors, their relations and their fricads. Either of these plans would keep the maimed soldier wi;h his family, and enable him to watch over tbe little ones whom Ud had placed under his care. 2 I would do even more than that. I would, ioatead of building au edifice to be called a "Home," secure to the maimed and crippled oldier a homestead neat little cottage in the village, town or city, or a forty acres io the country. That would le a "home" indeed, and, In the long run, the cheapest for the tax psyer t r the liberal citizen. In this "borne," he would he surrounded by "wife, children and friends." and soou feel that he was truly one of the people, as he is, and not a pensioner upon tbe bounty ot the State. 1 have no wish to see any American soldier put away under any roof not h:s own, and above all, subjected to tbe police of upstart officials, with neither the hem nor head to ap predate bis worth. This would be the case under the State msnsgement of a Saldier's Home My idea is to let the counties ami townships, and the people of the couuties and townships, mtnae this affair in their own way, and it will be bet terdooe than it could be at Indianapolis. 3 I would help the maimed snd helpless soldiers in another way, at.J this is always easy to do.il enough will ail Let the people tote out of ortice all the drones, all tie agitators, all ihe stay at home pttrtots, mischief making Cop pvtbesd Republicans and Copperhead Democrats, and tott in all the one armed, ooe legged aud otherwise crippled s ddiers who are quilitied to till the vsrious Suic. countv and tjwiiship othcta This will provide for rnsny bundreis in the Sal of Indian Then.il Governor Morton will follow suit, and hit his executive ap polnttnents on a literal sc tie from thesime class, that wiil greatly aid al-o Thec thirgs being accomplished, lwouli suv-nt to Pies i debt Johnson, that he sen J adnli all the uom patriots aud Isiy ertn'ti no h ling th mit;or o.lices to Washington, and put in ihtir place thoe who have need of auJ deserve the support ol the internment, bv reason of their loss of I inbe and other iijurv to health, while in the military service of the Nation. And while Mr Johncu' hsnd is in th.s thing, he houl J gite rhee crij p'ed soluieis tne p-stmst rship, thr mtrsbalship, (he hss done Ihn in Indi" the clerkship of the Unite J Siats Courts, the a-e S4 m. hips aud collectgrsM; s of Internal Kovenoe, aod fill every ofüce ith qual Ced crippled soldiers. This would be doiug a sheer act of justice

end materially help to lihtro the taxes cf the people. There is nothing like practical common sense in conducting the affairs of tbe State and Nation. Dig buildings and the squandering of money are uot necessary for the well-being of our Koldiers. They don't want to go Into large hospitals when they can gain aa bo tie. t

Let the citizens aid; aod the (government help them io some of the wav I propose, and there will be no costly necessity fr a mammoth bopitaI for invalids at tbe State Capital The people will see that no soldier ball suffer detriment by being allowed to dwell io the midt of his old neighbors.

Clawrlee llssmmemd on Free Nrgrset In l?3j, Ctmlei Hammond, thea the editor of the Cincinnati (itette, visited the negro colony in llrown county. Tnia is what bs said on his return: "Some forty miles from Cincinnati to the east. there are two settlements of free negroes: proba bty a thousand men, women and children, of the true ebony color, with a little mixture of ma hogany or lighter shades. Tbe negroes own the crorerty occupied by them, but without the power to sell. Etch family has a amall fsrm Tbey are emsocipated slaves, aod these lands were purchased expressly for them, aod parceled out among them fifteen years ago. "Tbe.e lands are cot of the best quality of Ohio lands, but by good management could be made very good. Tbey are particularly well adapted to grass, either meadow or pasture. "Having been slaves, compelled to work, one would suppose they ought to have industrious habits. Tbey have bad every inducement to industry held out to theo. Tbe experiment was made to test tbe meritaof tbe negro race under the most favorable circumstances for success. "Hss this experiment succeeded? It has not In all Ohio, can any white settlement be found equally wretched and ciually unproductive? " Farms, given to them fifteen yeara ago, inI stead ol being improved and preserved for farm ing, bare btea sadly managed small awkward clearings, and those not in grass, but exhausted and worn out in corn crops, the timber greatly destroyed wretched houses with mud floors, with chimneys of mud and wood, and little tim ber for faming. " They are so extremely lazy and stupid that the people of Georgetown (near their 'camps ) and tbe neighboring farmer will not employ them as work bands to auy extent. They do not raise produce enough ou their lands to keep their families, much le 1 they have a surplui for a sale abroad. Tbey pass rnot of their time in little smoking cabins, loo listless even to fiddle and dance. One might pass through the ' negro camps,' as tbev are called, pissing a dozen strag gling cabins, with smoke issuing out of the ends, in the middle of little clearings, without seeing a soul either at work or nt play Tbe fear of starvation makes them work the least possible quantity, while they are a great deal too lazy to play. "Why do not some zealous Abolitionists go there, and see the experiment in all its beauty? The slave chanced to a free but wretched lavage! n by not make something of these thousand ue groes? There are not more than two or three families, out of the whole that are improved by the charge from slavery to freedom. "The two cegro settlements are deadweight upon lirown county, as to any productive bensht from neero labor, and that space of the country might as well, to this day, bare remained in the possession of the Indians "If Southern wealth can be applied to buy and colonize such worthless population among us, what larmer in Ohio I .ifeT Uns he any guar rantee that a black colouy will not bectablihel in bis neighboihood?

It is announced that in New York city something over one hundred ymes of ptafons have been obtained towards the one hundred and fifty thousand who will piy ofT the public debt. Ir regular nud chimerical as seems this plan of raiding enough to pay clT the National debt, it is not devoid either of possibility or value. Its irregularity affords no argumenr against it; the question being one, not of precedents, but of practicability. As, perhaps, is not generally known, the plan is for one hundred and filly thousmd persons to piy each $2U,H00, and thus liquidate at once the three thousand millions of our national indebted ness. The only question is as to its value, for if valuable it is practicable. In substance, the consideration of the matter resolves it-elf iuto this: Is it better to pay off tbe debt at once, or allow it to run for a number of years, during which the debt will become no smaller, while a sum twice or thrice its magnitude will br expended in interest and the machinery of taxation? In other won!, shall the tmion piy three or four times the amount of the debt iu taxation before proceeding to piy the debt i'sell? As a question of simple economy, it is better to pay tbe debt at once, and thus esse to the na lion the millions Unit will be paid, or r tthrr thrown away, in intt-rest and the expenses of taxttioa To do this is comparatively an easy matter. Insie.id of h iving one hundred .-ad fifty thousand men who will py i'JO.OüO each, let us have just as many men ss pos-ible who will pay the $2)oOU, but do not let any one be debarred Irora contributing a less sum. Where a in mi is not wealthy enough to t tke one share in thescherae, let two take it, or three, or anv number that may be necessary, according to their mean. Thus, in Chicago there arc perh ips fifty men who can afford lo pay each the $".20.000 There is a les wealthy class who can afford to pay each ten thousand ; and so on in a diminished proportion Io this manner, by allowing everybody to con tribute, not excluding even the dimes ot the poorest, uot less than one hundred shares of $ "JO ,000 cich could be subscribed in Chicago. Let sm tiler pi ice. do likewi-e. There are some which might mtusge. say ten shares, othcrn five, andeomenot more than one. We suggest that the business men of this city take the luitistive io this Slate. Let tbem ioau gurate a movement that will secure a thorough canvass of the city, and the collection of every cent that can be obtained. Let them, as soon as possible, hold a conference, and ascertain what can probibly be raised tu Chicago, and then let it be announced that this citv will take so tuviy shares in the movement. This will stimulate other places, and the result will be that the entire debt will be provided for before the maturity of its first semi annual interest. To start the aff ir in Chicago, it is only necessary lor a few leading meu to lake the matter in hand, call a meeting, aud create and get in operation the proper machinery.

Hcrri slk FaATaicmr The particulars of one of the most co! 1 blooded and horrible fratricides we hare ever heard of, were related to us tbis morning by a eentleman from Silem, VV asbington county. We bad previously hetrd some details of the ca?e, but they were" ho re volting in their character that we discredited them and declined giving them publicity, be lieving it imposible for one brother to so deliberately plot and eiecute the murder of another. The parties to this sad tragedy were William Allen and Jo-eph A. Allen, the latter being the victim. The particulars of the affiir are ss follows: Joseph Allen wis the prorrietor of a woolen factory at Salem, in which he worked a number of women, among them several youug girls. His unnatural brother, William, had lately returned from the army, snd wis in tbe habit of visiting the factory, annoving the women, and delaying them io their work. His brother Joseph remonstrated with him sevral times shout the impro pricty of his conduct, but as it was continued he finally felt compelled to peremptorily forhidifs repetition When Joseph made this announcement to bis brother, the latter became terribly incensed, and threatened to wreak summary vengeance upon Joseph. This was on Saturday, 20ih iut On that night, or during the following thy, William armed himself with a pir of brass kuueks or a slung shot, and a Urge knife. Thus armed he went to the residence ol his brother Jo-eph dur ing Sunday night, the 21st, aud calling him to the door first artul:cd him with the slung shot or brass knucks, knocking him dowu ai.d insensible, and cutting his f ice and head iu a most frightful manner. He then drew the knife, snd with it iLllictcd a Mab upon his brother, striking him between the niith aud fcvcnth rib, penetrating through the diaphragm and into the lower bowels, producing a wound which proved ftl on the following I hursdty, -'h inst The murderer was arrested on Monday roorning,2'H,bcfore the extent of his brother's injuries were known, and was held upon a charge of asssult snd battery with intent to kill He pave the required bond, $1.500, and when lije hesrd of his brothers death left the pi ire snd has not been heard of since. Mr. Allen, the victim of this fiendish brother's malice, was one among the most highly esteemed citizens, of Salem, snd his brutal murder caused the most intense excitement in that town. He was buried on Saturday with Masonic boners, the funeral being oue of the largest ever witnessed in that town. We hid known the deceased person illy for the pist fifteen yetrs, and can bear testimony to his high character as a worthv and excclleul citizen. N. A Ledger. Opinion of Metisn A, iiiiglu. In the discussions before the people of Illinois ju-t previous to the last election to tbe United States Senate, Judge Douglas said: "I bold that a negro Is not and never ought to be a citizen of the United Stales. I h ild that this Government was made upon a white basis, by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, aud should be admin-' isiereu uy wmte teen and none others l do not believe "that the Almighty made the negro capable of fdf government. "Now I say to you, my fellow citizens, that in my opinion, the signers of Che Declaration of Itidepebdaice had no reftrcbce to the negro whatei er when they declared all meu created equal. They desired to express by that phrase, white men, men of European birth, and Euro pean descent, and had no reference to the negro, the savage Indians, or other inferior or degraded races At that lime ever? one of the thirteen Colonies was a slave-holding colony, aud every signer of the Declaration represented a slaveholding constituencv, and we know that none of them emancipated his slaves, much less offered citizenship to them when they signed tbe Decla ration Kiavlns he- Counter." Tbe fanatics, in their articles and speeches upon the negro suffrage question, asert that uegro soldiers have saved tne country. This is not at all complimeotaiy to the white soldiers, nor to the Iree S ates. with kJiUUU,Ui)U of peg pie. The great battles of the war, whether re sulting in victory or defeat, which weikcued the South and exhausted its military strength, were fought before the negro soldiers were introduced: ahd the final result would have been the same, and at the same time, had no colored men ever entered the service. Hut in elevating the Afri can above the Caucasian race, the fanatics attempt to humiliate the white soldiers by impress ing upon tbe world aud working iuto history the assertion that without the aid of negroes the white men of the United States armies would have been whipped by a Krctt!y inferior force Impudence and fanaticism comtmcd could not be stretched to a much greater length. Aud in saying this, it is not proper to detract from the gooo benavior of "he colored soldiers, who were finally put into iL. ranks Hartford Times. slow tt I'mv otf tlio .Atlenul Ilebt. The New Yuri; News, suspecting that there idav be a little h'ltnbozsinir in James uordou BeuDC.'s plan of pivin off the national debt by donations of J,"J,((U, propose what it considers abetter ot.e namely: "Let every citizen who i pos-e-sed of anv Government securities, bonds, seven-thirties, üve tweuiies, greenbacks, legal tenders, currency or other indication of national indebtedness, hand it in unreservedly to the national treasurv as a donatiou to the republic. Thus the whole debt can be canceled iu a dav. which will save time nd bother, and be a nijch more sublime exhibition ot the loyal munificence of the American character than that suggested by our cuteraporary. It will be more just and equitable, likeeise; for as lho?e evidences of dtbt tre distributed amotig individuals very neirly iu proportion to lbe:r wealth, the sacrifice, lo each one, will bo measured by his abli:j to endure It. Ex Pars DiMT Di'COamax has written another letter to the New York Tribune ia relation to the Cincinnati Convention. It cootsins co points of interest, except that io declining the Tribune's proffered use of its column for him to defend himself. He says: Tbi kind offer should be cordially accepted; but admonished tj advancing vears, of which you give me warning, I son.e time sttice compiled a history of it, during this period, chiefly from the proce'edirgs of C i gre snd lber oHi.-ul and relisb'e documents, too lone for puMicstiori in the Tribune.

extensiv Karlndlinsr Operation Arreal of the fame. Since the commencement of the gigantic rebellion, which lasted for four years, and which has just been crushed. Uncle Sam has been swindled out of hundreds of thousands of dollars through the means of dishonest employees, some of whom have escaped, while few have been arrested and punbbed. One of the rrost extensive pieces of swindling that has taken place in our city during tbe time, has just been brought to light by the arrest of Samuel and George Bowling, who bad charge of tbe cattle corrill in tbe upper portion of the city. It was the duty of these parties to attend to the receiving and weighing of the cattle that were received and tent from that place. It wag a rule that cot more than seven bead should be driven on the scales at onetime; but io the delivery of tbe cattle nine would be put on the acales, and tbe weight of the nine reported as that of tbe seven, so that the speculator would pocket the proceeds of two head of cattle at each and every weighing. When we remember the thousands of cattle passed through their hands in the course of a month it will be seen that the profits arising from the scheme were enormous. The extra cattle made by the weighing were, during the night, driven out of the back way , sent off and sold. In order to carry oo tbis wholesale rob

bery and avoid being expased tbe Bowlings would scad the hands about the yard-to the theatre, giving them money for that purpose In addition to the rattle speculation they would draw about twice what the cattle would eat. ot course pocketing tbe proceeds of the remainder. It is said that during tbe past year these, enter prising gentlemen have swindled Unrle Sam out or luiiy JjU.uuu. I bey are now under arrest and their case will be fully investigated. Louisville Democrat. .Matrimony In .'lukac!iuct(ft. By the registration report of Massachusetts just published, some curious conjunctions are shown to have taken place under the record of marriages. Thus: a man of eighty-one years was married for the third time, to a woman of sixty-five, who had married once previouslv. bachelor of twenty-five married a woman of "fiftysix wbo had already been three time married. Another female, of forty seven was married for the fourth time one female, ot filly five for the filth time. Two men, aged thirty-one aud thirty-seven, were married for the third time, lo widows of twenty-three and twenty one years respectively. A man ol thirty five, was married for the fourth time, to a maid of twenty-six. A man of fifty-two, was married for the fourth time to a widow of forty-two; and oue of sixty three, for the fourth lime, to a woman of forty, who bad been twice previously married. Theyounpest nurrhßes were a lad of eigbteeu to a mis of fourteen, and two other females of fourteen to young gentlemen of twenty one; oue lad of eventeeu and another of eighteen married girls of fifteen. Tnree precocious lads were married at sixteen, to ladies of eighteen and twen'y-oi.e. Sixtteu females under twenty one married husbands younger than themselves It is stated iu the Sunderland Herald that the toad lately found by some quarry men at Hartlepool, and announced to be six thousand years old. is not a myth. The Hev. Hubert Taylor, of St. Hilda's paisotiagc, statts that the toad is still alive, that it has no mouth, that it was found iu the centre of a block of msgne-Mii liuiestotie, twenty five feet below the sulfate of the earth, and that it differs in many respects from all ordinary toads. The Hartford Courant sas that a Connecticut mnn, who his been in the employ ol fhe Government for the last four years as a purchaser of beeves and other stock, has lately returned from tne West, nnd says that the Western country is completely surfeited with live stock Beeves and sheep are more plenty than he has ever known them before, snd in Lis opinion prices must come down .
