A SUN of PATRICK BITKKB, ten year* old, was drowned while bulling in the Ohio river, at Evannvjlle, on Tuesday.

ARTICLES of association of the Worlt-

ingmen's Savings, Loan and Building Association of Lognnsport, were filed on the 27ih. The capital stock is $1,000,000

Tuesday afternoon a disastrous fire occurred at Frankin, Indiana. The depot of the JffferHonville, Madison and Indianapolis Railroad, a large foundry and six dwelling- were totally consumed Loos not ascertained, but said to be heavy.

THE Montgomery (Ala Journal taken no stock in "Old Mr. GREELEY." It judges from his Memphis speech that he tried to scud between wind and water, and adds that "there are only two classes, **«mnd GRANT represent* the one, and Jeff

Davis the other, There is no room for you, HORACE, no room at all, between GRANT and J. DAVIS."

THE Radical preacher it) Iowa who prayed for 40,000 majority, admitted in private conversation that the Lord would be stretching it considerable to grant them 1,0. »0 —Journal.

If that "Radical preacher" told the truth in his "private conversation," it must be conceded that the Lord has a confirmed habit of "stretching it" in Iowa a.4 well as in all the other States wWee' educational facilities have been sufficiently developed and used to educate the masses.

THE Cincinnati Gazette's Washington ipecial states that the action taken by the President on the McGarrahan case is not in the interest of either party. The matter has been taken up for a full hearing in the Interior Department and referred to Solicitor SMITH for examination and opinion. E)ach side has filed briefs in the case, and the expectation is, that both will be heard orally through counsel. It is the determination of the Department to insist upon the case proceeding with promptness, and to make decision at the earliest possible day.

Prison Directorship.

The Directorship of the Southern Prif— on Beeins to be a prolific source of litigation. First Mr. HEISKELL was ousted by KIRK then Mr. SPARKS was ousted by HEISKELL now Mr. PKICB claims in place of MEISKELL and the end is not yet. It appears that Mr. KIRK is a member of the City Council of Madison, and as such he is paid a salary of seventy-two dollars per year.

Mr. PRICE W.«S elccfed to Mr. CUBBY'S place, which nobody now pretends was vacant, and it is absurd to ask lor HKISKELL'S. But even if he should get it, according to dfc late ruling of the Supreme Court, KIRK must be ousted, as he holds two lucrative offices. His election and qualification as Councilman doubtless vacates his place as Prison Director.

A Valuable Opinion.

We publish, elsewhere, the legal opinion of Messrs, THOMPSON, VOORHEKS and JONES, furnished to the County Commissioners, at iheir req iest. This opin ion defines the powers of the Board to procure funds to leplenish the empty treasury, and informs the Commissioners that the only way to do so, is to issue bonds in the manner prescribed by statute. The opinion reiterates the position* heretofore taken by this paper on the subjects embraced therein and is cal culated to put a slop to the issue of unlawful and void promissory

notes of the Commissioners on every emergency. The statutes of the State defining the duties and powers of County Commissioners are so plain tha' it would seem to be unnecessary to take a legal opinion on points connected there\with, unless the members of the Board are too indolent to read the law for themselves. It Would have been well if the

Commissioners had a-"ked of the counsel, who furnished the opinion the further questions, whether the Boatd has any power whatever to baild bridges outright from the funds of the county aud whether their present contricis are law ful, or void? i'here might have been iie ful information furnished to the* people of tlie county on these questions, if they had been embraced in the interrogatories of the Board

True Blood Won't lell—True Blood lie Hanged!

Mr. Lew Truehlood was badly Knkluxed, a mile out from Salem, on last Friday night by four gentlemen fiiends in disguise. It seems that the barn burning business ha* been bri*k in the viciniy of Salem during the past fortnight, and the-e four spirited young men—two Richardson.*, one Wol£and a Shepherd— met in secret conclave, and swore no longer to be, io do, and to culler. I hey disguised themselves in an excellent manner, aod started out to do a Utile hanging on suspicion. The two Robinsons took ihe advance, and the Wolf and the Shepherd linked in the rear, it happened that they cought Mr. True blood out on the fly, and they gently wafted him off to an old Tyburn tye, where, in the still night, they gave him two lilts at the rope in succession "Blood will lell," said the Wolf to ihe Sheperd "But Trueblood won't" quoth Robinson, and the* swung the poor fellow up liwe a feather. Alter all this series of hangings, they failed to get Trueblood to "fe»s up," and finally concluded their might possi blv be a mistake, so they loosed the rope and left him. So Saturday morning

Mr. Trueblood, in company with the county Sheriff, traced the tour funny fellows to their abiding place, and the last our informant saw of them ihey were silting in a meek little row lefore the Police Magistrate oi Salem.—.W *4 bany Ledger.

MR. HALSTEAU, of the Cincinnati Commercial, makes this allusion to the proposal to send him to the State Senate:

Several of the excellent newspapers published in this neighborhood have manmanifested a kindly anxiety to run an edi' /T, with whom we happen to be very a -jiiainied, for Slate Senator. It does not seem worth while to make so great a fuss about so small an office. The way to do a thing is to do ii big. Why not run the able editor 4or the United Ijiaie.- Sen aie? We are sure he would be a valuable Senator, for he would publish all the treaties so as to prevent wrangling about the enterprise reporters.

A car lell upon him, pinning him to the ground, and in this position he laid half an ho.r, blood spurting from a terrible wound in his forehead at every breath. He died soon after being re moved.

MKTHODI-T BOOK CONCERN. The Methodist ok Committee held their closing session yesterday, adjourning in ihe afternoon sine die. in a veiy brief letter Dr. Carlton offered his resigna ion to the Committee, to take effect at once, stating that he would hereafter show his reasons for the act to the Committee and the church. The Committee unanimously declined to accept it, however, and adopted resolutions expiessive of their confidence in the ability, integrity and faithfulness of Dr. Carlton, and en ng him as a Christian gentleman whose character is above reproach Hish op Ames publishes his decision, in which he Bays that Bishop James and himseli agree in judgment touching the law which governs book agents in the dis parge of their official duties, but that on the question of unrestricted official right of an assistant agent to examine all the books and accounts of the Concern, there has arisen

conflict of authority,

seems, he says, from examination of -this case, that the assistant xgent not havn.iT been permitted to exercise thi.- ight, he applied

for

to the

courts

aid, that he might secure

it.

Such an

act must be judged of in the light oi its sun ou tiding* lie so jmlgen ol this, and so judging, does not feel justified in in sisiing upon so severe a penally as that inflicted by the committee.

1 he

Bishop

then in conclusion says to the committee, that he thinks the penalty inflicted by their verdict appears to him to be more severe than the giavity and importance oi the.complaints justify, and as he finds himself at variance with their judgment, duty compels him to say that he can not, and does not concur in the verdict remov ing Rev John Lanxhan from the office of Axsisiant Book Agent »f the Book Con cern ot New York. Bishop James goes at length inio the reasons lot his decision, and concludes as follows: *'My confidence in Dr. Lanahan as a Christian htffher and minister of the Lord Jesus isi i- unshaken, and my affection for him undi-tuibed. My decision refers only to his official acts as Assistant Agent oi the Book Concern- His act of suing out a writ of mandamus at the lime and in the manner ihat he did, I cm not ap prove, but the question whether the error is insufficient to remove him from office 1 can not decide, without hesitating, for on this one point my mind has wavered to this moment. Ihe preponderance of my convictions of official duly in ihe case requires me, though it is the most painful official duty ot my life to concur with the committee in their aeion ol the 24tb in»t, in removing Rev. no. Lanahan from his office as Asssistant Book Agent at New Yoi k, and hereby concur." Tne action ol the Bishops is final in this matter, and Dr. Lanahan c*n not again be tried on these chaiges, until the assembling of the General Con erence in May 1862, in which the sitpreme authotity of the church resides, 'Jhis Conference is eon posed of representative-, lay and clerical, ol 7.770 eliective pieachers, who constitute the 75 conteiences of the Methodist Episcopal Church of America. Elections to this body have just commenced, ihe last Maine Conference having already chosen their delegates on the 28ih of May. Elections will continue from this time till the end of next April. The case ot Dr. Lanahan is expected to form one of the chief issues before the next Conference, and it will be the great issue in all elections, sp that the present aciion of Bishop Ames tends to draw not only

general conference, but the

whole church into active controversy on the Book Concei• troubles. Interest in the mailer is becoming mighty, and will no doubt bring about at last a full and fair investigation of the much discussed Book Concern frauds.

COLLISION ON

THE MAINE CENTRAL B. R.

A special from Augusta last night says, another terrible accident occurred on the Maine Central Railroad yesterday morn in?. It was a collision a mile and half below Hollowell, between the local train with a small engine and passenger cars, which left Gardner on its tegular time, soon after five o'clock, and the mixed train, so oalled, which usually leaves Augusta for Portland at

4:30.

This train

was delayed until five o'clock at Augusta, in order to accommodate delegates to the Democra ic State Convention return ing to their homes. The train, crowded with passengers,consisted of an en gine, freight car, smoking car and three passenger cars. According to the rules ot this road, this train should have wailed at Hollowell, but it did not. There was a short curve at this point, where ihe locomotives met. Persons in the fields near bv saw the approaching trains and attempted to signal them, but without success. The shock was terrific, and ihe engines were wholly demolished. There was a steep embankment at the point where the trains met, and there would have been a terrible loss of life if the cars had been thrown over. Fortunately they were not, although the freight car of the down train was wrecked, and the seats of the passenger all torn from their fastenings. There was a dozen persons on board, half ol whom were badly jammed aud otherwise injured. Daniel Berry, engi neer of the mixed train, was killed. Wilkes Carril, fireman, had his skull fractured and was severely cut and scalded, and will not live.
