The latest adaptation of paper, however, comes from Maine, and is specially addressed to tno liiilios.

newspapers which, if £p®edily sup* presed, must necessarily

8UC^

injnry to the moral chartcUV of the riiiig generation that iU jffecte will speedily be felt upon society find many households will be compelled to mourn the downfall of their cons and daughter* and give them up as lost every moral and virtuous feeling or action.

I refer now particularly to two weekfj^ publications that are having a large sale in this city and through the country, "Stetson's Illustrated" and "Last Sensation.'' More vicious and pernicious papers have never been published. The illustrations and reading matter are fit only for low and degraded minds and the inmates and frequenters of bawdy houses.

I desire to call the attention of those who are engaged in the sale of these obscene publications to the It&tute in such cases. Second Revisod Statute, page 472: "Every person who shall by himself or agent, print, vend, exhibit or circulate any obscene book, pamphlet, print or picture, shall, upon conviction, be fined not exceeding five hundred dollar? and if the exhibition be made to a fomale, imprisonment not exceeding three month?, may be added." "All persons engaged in vending, circulating, or exhibiting, or in any waypreparing such obscene book, pamphlet, print or picture, shall bo deemed and punished as principals/1

Webster defines the word obscene to mean "offensive to chastity and delicacy expressing to the mind or view something which delicacy, purity and decency forbid to bo exposed. Impure."

Nothing can be clearer that these publications come strictly within the letter of the law and this definition of Webster's arid I feel assured that tho courts of the country would sustain ni' in this declarn tion. An examination vf one of thess publications will convince any person that they are regarded as obscene by the publishers, from the vf-ry l'nct that no place of publication i? mentioned in the papers.

As a citizen, as a husband, and a father, 1 protest against th* circulation of these infamous publications, and I would call on ill! people who have any regard for molality and virtue to use their influence for their speedy suppression, and would beg of those who are now offering these papers for sale, to stop, and commit to the flame? wha', stock they have of this kind on hand, and substitute in their plc.ce.-i something that will do some good to the coBitnunity.

"FLASH PAPERS.7'-- Eds. Express. In the EXPRESS of Yesterday, 1 noticed an article with t|ie above caption, and as I, probably as much I.B any »ther person caused that articlo to be written, I will here state that I had aiready, when your article appeared, decide! not to keep any of that class of papers to which your article applied, any more, and my instructions have already gone forward to the I^ewi Company, from which I receive my supplies, to discontinue them. At the time the "Last Sen-"itiony- and "Dime II* Ivsirated first mack- their appearance five weeks age, there was nothing in them that Any person could make auy serious objection to but as they were both start' el at the same time, a rivalry sprung up between them to see which would become the favorite with the public, until they carried the thing far, that 1 determined that I would not kesp them any more and to phow what a demand there is for that cls.sf of papers, I will state that I could sell each and every weeU, 600 cop ies if I would beep them. So far as the News Stand at the Post Office is concernuj( they wlli not be kept for sale any inger, and if tbe authorities could see the ovil and wrong that such papers are pro1 ducing, the sale of them would be stopped everywhere. I have been guilty to certain extent of fostering this appetite for that class of literature, but from this time forward I will do all that is in my power to do away with it and partially make amends for the past.

he will_soon represent Greene county in

the Jeffersonville Penitentiary THE oonsolidaXibn of the Columbus & Indiana Central and the Chicago&Great Eastern has been consummated. The new road is to be known aa tho Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central Railway.:

THE Beliefontaine Railway, is about passing into the control of the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad, and a meeting has been called of the shareholders of tbe Bee Line, at Galion on the 12th of Februarys formtilly close the cons tract.

IT behooves all those whoso property .was sold at the late sinking fund Belie, quent sale to see to its redemption at once. The time for such redemption will expire on the eighth of February. Parties who do not want to lose their lands must settle with the Auditor of State.

MR, L. P. FARMER, who has been connected with the general ticket office of tbe Bellelontaine Railway for a number of years, has-been appointed Chief Clerk of the Indianapolis -and St. Louis Railroad and leaves for St. Louis in a few days to enter upon his new duties.

JUDGE MCDONALD has postponed further investigation as to who ie entitled to the informer's lee in the LaFayett^ confiscation case until the 27th "inat.— There are seven applicants Mr. Littlei whose name appears in tho libel, Giilett V. titevenson, of Lawrenceburgh, Chadwick & Lamb, Jutnes Howe, and Col. grove iii Godman, all of LaFayette.

T'EB last rail on the Union and Logansport road which is now a part of the Columbus and Indiana Central Railway Company, WHS lud on Tuesday between Loganspott and Marion, in this State.— Tbe couctry people turned out in immense crowds to wineso tbe affair, and in addition there were large delegations in attendance from CoTumbus, Union City Logansport, and other points aloiiejlbe line.

THE Sheriff of Tippecanoe ctttitity, with a detective force, has succeeded in unearthing a quartette of thieves, who resided in LaFayette, and tarried on a moat extensive-line cf operations in tfc&t city and vicinity. The brace of masculines. Palmer and Cos, with their feminine as sistants, are held for examination before the grand jury. Almost every variety of goods, and some toads and money were {bundin the den occupied by the robbers

THE Indianapolis Journal states that further investigation confirmed the truth of tbe stabbing affray on Monday night in which Isaac Raab was so seriously wounded. None of the slashes are of sufficient vent to allow of the escape of life. Mr. Sam JoKnsbn, a colored man who is the assailant, was yesterday arrested and commttted to jail He will be tried next month before the Criminal Court for attempted murder.

SPEAKING of the late wholesale robberies in Tippecanoe county, the LaFayette Courier says:

The rooms of Detective Godman, in the Opera House basement,, were thronged last evening and to day with victimized citizens, looking after stolen property. In tbe miscellaneous assortment of plunder there is enough to set up fou yoang couplcs in house keeping, start two coun try stores with a full assortment of goods, and fit out a church complete, even to the contribution box. They even robbed tho grave-digger, at Grcer.bush, and it is strongly suspected that, after all. they may be the parties who stole the Battle Ground Institute.

THE Indianapolis Herald says: "Ihere is every reasonable prospect for securing tbe location of the convention at this point, if our citizens so desire it and tbe means necessary to furnish the build ing for the convention and such other accommodations as will bo required, can be raised with a very little effort. Such being the inducements, why should not the convention be hold in Indianapolis?"

T»«E following is a comparative statement of the number of school children in the principal cities of Inrliana, for the year 1866 and 1867:

CITIES. 18'i6. 1867 Indianapolis 9,377 9,025 Kv.tnsville 6.648 5.898 Fort Wayne 6,821 7,205 New Albany 3,117 5.627 Terre Haute 5,896 3,318 Lafayette 3,631 8,754 Richmond .,...2,853 2,746

EVERT one will be glad to known that a much needei'. work is going on at Indi anapolis. At a mealing of pastors on Monday, the following reports of revivals in some of .the Methodist EpiiC-'pr.l churches of tho city wore amde Church, forty-five conversions and tk'tyfuur sctcssions: Strange Chapel, eight aovesiions Trinity, thirteen accessions Asbury, thirty-two aeecssions and thirtyfive conversions (J»rmnn, ten accessions Wesley Chapel, fifiy-one accessions and a goodly number of conversions.
