After this page was made up this morning, ready for the press, by an unfortunate accident the form was pi*d, or the type were dropped into a confused mass. We hare done the best that was possible to remedy the dfawater, bat there was not time sufficient, before we were obliged to go to press, to replace the matter that wss designed for this page. The only exease we can offer is, that accidents will occur in the best regulated families.

Associated Frees Meeting. We attended the annual meeting of the association, and hare returned home a wiser and a poorer man. We had a. ▼ague idea that the association was formed for the purpose of furnishing cheap news to the press generally; but from the best information we could obtain, we are forced to the conclusion that the object is simply to enable individual members to get cheap specials. Under the present arrangement, as we understand it, the Indianapolis papers each pay 975 per week, while the Cincinnati papers pay only 958. But the contract with the Telegraph Company provides for special rates for the members, and that no news shall be furnished to any paper outaide of the Association at less than regular commercial rates. The fiftyeight dollars a week paid by the Cincinnati Cbmmircial is saved over and over again, by the reduced rates on specials, and the less news the regular dispatches contain, even to nothing, the more valuable said specials become. In other words, papers that can not afford te deal very largely in specials, pay the telegraph company to furnish them to journals that can and do depend upon specials almost exclusively. - This may be fair, but we can’t exactly see it. However, we will have to stand it with our neighbors, for as poor as the regular dispatches are, they are better than nothing, and when Indianapolis outgrows Cincinnati, we will return like for like, unless our new director can accomplish the reforms so much desired. The rotted Mtatea Scnatorshlp. Hon. Junan Huqhks is a candidate, or is not a candidate for the United States Senate, as the case may be. Our distinguished friend from Bloomington is a modest man. He announces that he is unwilling to force himself upon the Radical members of the Legislature, tor their distinguished consideration, but at, the same time, “ Barkis is willin’.” Judge Hcoxxs, if his home organ announces him correctly, will neither seek nor decline the elevated position. He will, however, accept the honor and perquisites if gently forced upon him. The Honorable Mr. Hughes is unassuming, modest, unpretending, and devoid of all ambitious aspirations. ’ He will, however, if elected, endeavor to discharge its duties with honor and credit to himself Judge Hughes is one of the very few great men in the Republican party, and we can assure our Radical friends if they elect him to the Senate, that he has sufficient self-esteem, self-respect, ability and independence to consider himself the equal of any member of that body. With these preliminary observations we give the card of Judge Hughes, in regard to the Senatorshlp in full, just as it appears in his home organ, the Bloomington JYo-

grau:

Judge Hughes ahd the United States Seeatorship.—In a conversation with Judge Hughes, before he left for Washington, he gave us to understand, and authoriaed us to say for him, that although he had heretofore, in eonversatlons and letters, avowed himself a candidate f;r United States Senator, in conformity with the known wishes of many of his friends; yet. finding the competition among the friends and partisans 'of the numerous distinguished gentlemen mentioned in connection with that position growing warm, he bad come to the conclusion not to engage in it. He will neither seek nor decline the office. He requested us to announce that it is owing to this resolution that members of the Legislators will not be solicited by him, either in person or letter, and not to.any indifference on bis part, nor false pride. Judge Hughes would feel highly complimented and honored by the support of any member of the Legislature, but has resolved to refrain from all measures that might lead him into an unpleasant contest with any member of hia own party. We are authorized to state that under no circumstances will Adjutant General Tekbkll permit his name to be used as a candidate for Senatorial honors. General Tekbxll is unwilling tp place himself, or rather permit himself to t>e tingulshed gentlepien who aspire to the Senatorshlp, but will cheerfully support the candidate whom the Republican caucus may select to represent Indiana in the upper branch of the National Legisla-

tors. Affitlm In Ark an bah.

Our Radical neighbor is exceedingly profuse in its praise of one Governor, Clattoit, of Arkansas, for issuing a proclation declaring martial law in certain counties in that State. There is no necessity whatever for a measure of that kind. All was quiet in Arkaiqps when the proclamation was issued. There is not a particle of evidence that there was any organized or even contemplated resistance to the constituted authorities, State or National. The fears of Governor Clayton are groundless. In the counties where martial law was proclaimed there had been no fights, or even a disturbance of the peace for several months. The Associated Press dispatches, a few days ago, and they always lean to the Radical side, spoke as follows of the Governor of Arkansas: “Clayton is as crazy as a bedbug. E the Radicals laugh at him and his wi proclamation. Arkansas waa never m

quiet.”

That is just about,the truth of the ter. That Governor Clayton “is as eraz as a bed bug,” and with Just about much sense as an oyster, 4s demonstrai by his proclamations and official action. The sooner the people of Arkansas put him in a crazy asylum, the better will It be for their peace, quiet and prosperity. The condemned portion of the people of Arkansas are more true to the Union today, than the “loyal” people of the most Radical Itatea of the North.

From the law of March 1,1792, establishing the time and mode of casting the electoral vote for President and Vice President, we select the following sections, which explain tbe mode of pro-

ceeding:

“ Section 2.

ment, 929,814,544 80. About 938,000,000 were for army bounties. Tbs interest on the public debt was, in coin, 9103,409,558 56; in currency, 836,425,351 83. To realize fully the amount of money ’ raised by taxation and expended in this Nation, eaoh person should consider that one-third of his property or earnings is mortgaged to the Federal Government. If he owns a house, due-third of it is covered by tbe claims of tha Government, and tbe same principle applies to a warehouse, ship or farm. Whersver property is, there is taxation. Government bonds excepted. This kind of property is exempt from the clutch of the tax gatherer, and those holding it are put upon a different footing from the balance of American citizens. Labor is also overshadowed by taxation One-third of eaoh dollar earned by the poor man, who is struggling to support hia family, is fastened upon by the vampire ef exorbitant taxation, and hence It la that the toilers of the United States are yearly compelled to work harder, and yet do nm live aa well or dress as well aa they did when wages were lower. The average prioe of their servioes has increaaed thirty-one per cent, in eight years, while during the same period their expenses, owing to debt and taxation, have augmented eighty-four per cent. This is a wide gap, and it most be bridged by closer economy and abstinence from many articles of comfort on the part of the workers of the United States. It costs more than twice as much to build a bouse now than it did before the war— twice as much for rent if it is rented— twice as much to live in it after it is built, and yet property holders are no better off, so far as expenses are concerned, than those who hire or rent. Debt and taxation are the Old Man of the Mountain, and tffey bestride alike all the material interests of the country. These facte should make every man propound the question to himself, how can matters bn mended? While the debt Increases, taxation will keep even step on the same ascending ladder. If the latter into be reduced, the former must be curtailed. Biit the party in power, which loaded the nation with this vast accumulation of debt and taxation, shows no disposition to run the Government in a more economical manner. In a time of peace the expenses are continued on a war basis. A large army is maintained in the South, and idle ndgroes fed and clothed upon funds drawn from the public treasury. These are the* immediate results of Radical “reconstruction.” But to this must be added the decline of productions in the South consequent upon a continued derangement of the labor system of that seotion, and then a proper balance-sheet can be struck. What is needed to reduce taxation is honest men in Congrees, who will act for the good of the whole country, and not aa sectional partisans. The Forty-first Congress will be called upon by the tax ridden people of the United States to adopt measures for a reduction of debt and taxation. Will they respond; or will the fiscal exhibit of 1869 run in the asms ruts with

that of the present year?

to have hia note paper, envelopes and cards “on tha square’’ must know what the mode is. Ladies likewise sometimes like information on these trifles. To this end Mr. J. N. Gimbrede baa addressed a letter to the last NoffM Journal, wherein be says, visiting cards will be, for this

visile, on the left-hand upper eorner, will be engraved on the reverse side. The corner contsining the desired word will be turned down, so as to denote the object of the call. The word on the righthand corner, Felicitation, will be used for visits of congratulation on aome happy event, as* for instance, a marriage, or* a pirth; on the left lower corner, the word Oonge, used for a visit previous to leaving town; the other eorner is to be marked Condolence. Cards sent to friends before leaving for a long journey are issued with the adoition of P. P. C. in the left-hand corner. These cards are inclosed in heavy and elegant, though plain, envelopes, ornamented with a tasteful monogram or

Initial.

In wedding invitations, all abbreviations like eve. for evening, will be avoided, as well as v. m., the word afternoon being preferable. Invitations to ceremonious weddings consist of a square note sheet, embellished with a large monogram in relief, entwining the combined initials of the bride and groom. The individual cards of both bride and groom must also be inclosed, united with a neat white satin tie: and, in some cases, another card, with reception days for tbe following

month.

A very neat style of card has the customary “at home” on a note sheet, s ceremony card (at fixed hour.) and the cards of bride and groom, all inclosed in a splendid large envelope, of tbe very finest texture, with an elaborate monogram, or ornamental initial. Among 'the neater forms for a quiet wedding at home is the

following:

cember 16, at one o’clock. Hamilton Square.

Cards ot bride and groom most be inclosed for general invitations. Very aim pie forms are in the best taste. They must be vaned to suit the oooaaion, either dejeuner, dinner receptions, er evening

parties. For example:

The mode for private dinners may claim a paragraph. Of late, private dinners have been conducted with great ceremony. The menu, or bill of fore, is laid at each plate, illuminated monogram embellishing the top of the menu. The list of dishes tastefully written, and a beautifully adorned illuminated card are laid on each plate, to designate the seat of the particular guest. Another style of these cards is plain white, bound with a crimson or blue edge, and has the words Boa A petit, in handsome letters above tbe name of the guest, which is also beautifully written in tbe same original style, or, per?

haps, in fancy colored ink.

Acceptanoe and regret notes are found very useful and convenient on some oc-

casions. The beet forms are: MR. AND MRS. C. WHITE’S

Compliments to Mrs. accepting with pleasure her kind invitation for Wednes-

day evening, January 14, 1869.

Clinton Place.

If the note be one of regret, “ regretting tbe neoessity to decline.” la substituted. These blanks are neatly put up in small packages with proper envelopes. For billet or note paper, some new styles of fine Parisian papers have just been introduced, and, for the extreme neatness of the design, or figure, in the paper have become very fashionable. The diCerent styles in paper and envelopes could scarcely be enumerated. The forms are small, square, and rather large oblong shape—both folding in-« square en-

sheet with

velope.

^Monograms will, this season, tend te an enlarged size, besides being more complicated than usual. In many cases, the monograms spell pet names, and sometimes names of several syllables. Illuminated monograms, especially for heading of party or ball Invitations, will be greatly sought after. For usual letterwriting, monograms In one derifeate color, or in white embossed, will be * in vogue. These are very stylish, when used on thick English cream laid paper. Names of country residences, in rustic design, are also used at the top of the note sheet. Jockey monograms are formed of riding equipments. Some novelties in this Way have recently made their appearance. For those fond of the game of croquet, monograms are formed of the implements of the game; and smokers may have their articles of smoking so arranged as

to represent their initials.

For anniversary weddings, a fow Styles

The monogram at the head of the note and on tbe envelope is also oxidized, tbe names oftheiadyand gentleman appearing-on separate wooden cards. Crystallised cards, resembling snow flakes, are used for the fifteenth anniversary or Crystal Wedding, though these have not become so general as the others. The Silver Wedding celebrates twentyfive yeam after marriage, and requires a brightly silvered note sheet, with monogram In pare silver, or the whole printed in silver, oas plain wood paper.

If I left my home, I said to him, ‘John, see that ail things are taken care of,’ and I knew my wife and child, property and all were as safe aa though they were guarded by a hundred soldiers.

“There is none, he replied, and I followed him to a long row of cabins, situated at a distance of some three hundred yards from the mansion.

'•..••• About nine o’clock a servant appeared with the notioe that they were ready to move, and to know If further instructions were necessary. My host remarked to me, that by stepping into the piazza, I would probably witness, to me, a novel scene. Tbe procession had moved and its route led within a few yards of the mansion. There were at least one hundred and fifty negroes, arranged four deep, and following a wagon in which was placed the coffin; down the entire length of the line, at Intervals of a few feet on each side, were carried torches of tbe rosinons pine, and here called light wood. About the center was stationed the black preacher, a man of gigantic frame and stentorian lungs, who gave out from memory the words of a*hymn suitable to the occasion. The Sonthern negroes are proverbial for tbe melody and compass of their voices, and I thought that hymn, mellowed by distance, tbe most solemn, and yet the sweetest music that had ever fallen upon my ear. The stillness of the night and strength of their voices enabled me to distinguish the air at a distance of half a mile. It was to me a strange and solemn scene, and no incident of my life has impressed me with more powerful emotions than the nigbt funeral of the poor negro. For this reason T have hastily and most imperfectly sketched its leading features. Previous to retiring to my room, I saw in tbe bands of s daughter of the lady at whose house I stopped for the night a number of the Journal, and it occurred to me to send this to your paper, perfectly inditfer nt whether it be published or not. I am but a brief sojurner here. I bail from a colder clime, where it is onr boast that all nlen are free and equal. I shall return to my Northern home, deeply impressed with the belief that, dispensing with tbs name of freedom, tbe negroes of the South are the happiest and most contented people on the face of the earth. ■•Me# Greeley at Work.
