PUBLISHED BY JAMES I. MCNEELY <Editor>. F. M. THAYER, <Gen'l Business Manager>. JNO. H. MCNEELY,<Gen'l Mechanical Department>. UNDER THE FIRM OF THE EVANSVILLE JOURNAL COMPANY. ——————— Journal Buildings, Locust St., <Between First and Water>. ======= [<Communicated>. EDITORS JOURNAL:—A vague and contradictory article appeared in your issue of the 21st inst., signed "GIBSON." He objects to the people of Gibson County sending to schools not <within> that County; but sends his objections <out> of the County for publication. Says "we must co-operate with our neighbors in establishing good schools;" yet complains that rural residents without such, "have sent abroad fifty daughters, to receive an education;" and this expense "every cent goes out of the County." He speaks in slighting terms of Boarding Schools—but, to remedy his money trouble, "suggest that we (of Gibson County?) establish a good (boarding) school <at home;>" "and have the money spent in our own County." What an educational man(!) upon whose mere suggestion, learned institutions are to be founded. And he proposes <another> trial at Princeton, where school attempts have been unfortunate. Merit is not rewarded there; favoritism and money—money is the object. Even the expense on a school girl's expense is coveted. Princeton has seen three signal school failures within a short time. One able teacher they rejected, had since built up the best High School in that county. Another competent scholar, expended several thousand dollars upon the Princeton Academy; but, instead of success—he met almost baukruptcy. Two gentlemen succeeded him, endured for a while then also failed. A rather novel plan is now in progress—FREE SCHOOLS—<supported by subscription>, and bcing <free> they are crowded. Their principal teacher, a good disciplinarian aud thorough instructor, does nearly double labor, on about a half-pay salary. "Gibson" does not even name their schools, although they are praiseworthy. And the creditors he slighted(?) are working earnestly for these home schools while he ventilates his visionary suggestions in a <foreign paper>. He says "he is not a teacher—never expects to be." Your intelligent readers would not honor him with that suspicion. The true Teacher, docs not disparage schools or scholars, by counting "price per head," of expenses, as we do cattle; this is insulting to his neighbors, and their daughters. But Gibson county has many liberal minded educational citizens, who, having the means and will, send their children to the best Institutions our country affords; regardless of county or State lines. Many of these may return scholars and some worthy working teachers (like the Principal at Princeton) blessing their honored pa rents, and their early homes. INDIANA. ———<>——— Cor. the Cincinnati Gasettm. Democratic RaseaM ties Illustrated In tte affairs of the Northern Prison. Near the close ot the recent session of our General Assembly, the joint committee appointed to examine into alleged frauds con nected with the location and building contract of our Northern Prison, submitted their report. It presents a most disgraceful rec ord to those authorized to act for the State a record, however, not by any means unusual in our State affairs for the last twelve years. At the extra session, convened at the close of 1858, Gov Willard urgently recommended the location of a new prison north of the National road During that session, and until the close of the ensuing regular session, the Republicans refused to adopt his recommendation, but near the close of the latter session, some Northern Republicans having allowed local prejudice and feeling to get the better of their judgments, united with the Democrats, and hastily passed an exceedingly imperfect bill, leaving all power in the matter to the Governor, without such restraints as any Governor should have had imposed on his action, but especially Gov. Willard. The public were informed that he had appointed John W. Blake of Clinton county, B. F. Mullen of Ripley county, and John P. Dunn of Marion county, Directors to locate the Prison. They located it at Fort Wayne, but the Governor, having the power to ratify their location, withheld his consent from the spring of 1859 to the 2d ot March, 1860, when the Directors and Governor agreed on its location at Michigan City. On the 10th day of March, 1859, when these directors first met, they elected Edwin May, Architect, and C. W. Seely, Superintendent of construction and Warden, of a prison not yet located, aud both paid from the time of their appointment. Why they did so is seen in the use they made of May. At Fort Wayne, Mr. May had offers made to him for the benefit of the Directors, who had told him that such offers would be made at points they would visit. May was at first disposed to have nothing to do with that part of the business, bnt the Directors intimated to him that be would be discharged if he did not. He then received in cash $10,000, a note of $10,000, and a power of attorney to authorize him to draw $10,000 more from the State Treasury, which he swears was received by him as a bribe "to be distributed among the Directors and himself, if the prison was located at Fort Wayne." The Committee say in their report that the evidence showed that the Directors planned this scheme that Mul len and Blake demanded these funds of May, aud that, in addition to this, Mullen demanded that the residence of Col. Spooner, at Fort Wayne, worth $5,000, should be donated to him. But May held on to -the money, and when the location- at Fort Wayne failed, it was returned. Such is the opening scene in this grand scheme of rascality, and it should hare sent these Directors to the Northern Prison as soon ns it was made, but we had uo law properly punishing the consent to receive a bribe in the discharge of official duty. Gov. Willard, as before stated, refused to sanction this location, stating privately that at Logansport the prison could be built $30000 cheaper. For nearly a year matters remained in this condition, until suddenly, the warring Directors and the Governor spliced hands at Michigan City. The causes of this fraternizing are but imperfectly un

folded by Mr. Achey of Indianapolis (the same man thai Gov. Willard on a former occasion paid $G0 to carry a reprieve from luJianapolis to Greencastle, a run by railroad of 40 miles), who states that he arranged the whole matter in consideration that he was to receive $1,000 for his friendly services. The Committee subpoenaed Chancy P. Blair, the lessor of the land on which the prison is built at Michigan City, to get at the facts, but he would not appear before the Committee. ' ' The next thing was to let out the building of the prison, the act of the General Assembly declaring that the prison should not cost, exclusive of convict labor, more than fifty thousand dollars. ' The Directors advertised the letting of the work, and proposals were to be received until the 7th of May, 1860. There were several bids for various parts of the work, but the principal ones were those of Talbott and Cbstigan, of Indianapolis, and G. W. Dunlap, and with him to a small extent a Mr. liatrot. fi biuuing of the latter cover as much work as the former, but the law contemplates the letting out of it in parcels. As far as they bid, Dunlap's offer was less than Talbott's by $31,898 11, and the evidence shows that on the whole of the work covered by Talbott's offer, the difference in favor of Dunlap's bid would have been S5G,093 33. . The Governor, Mullen and. Blake, and Talbott, set-themselves to negotiating how

Dunlap s bid could be got out of the way, and the arrangement was at last consummated by which Bagot was to be paid $1,000 to withdraw, and when he did so Dunlap's bid was not considered, but the contract for the entire work, except the plumbing, was given to Talbott and Costigan. The infamy of this transaction rests on all parties concerned in it; and leads to the belief that corruption like this must have looked to bribes at every step it took in the matters pertaining to the prison. When the General Assembly met, it found that there had been paid out of the Treasury on this Prison account, $101,75280, besides the work of the convicts, estimated Et $6,714 00. Here we tee the appropriation overdrawn by $51,752 80, of which the directors, Seely and May, received as follows : Mullun ....1,158 S3 Blake 4,178 43 Dunn 4,160 94 Seely 3,758 94 May 4,246 62 Total $20,542 68 By the law the Directors were each to receive $3 per day for each day they were necessarily and actually employed, yet they charged for the whole two years, although doing nothing oue-half that time, during which time the Governor would net sanction the location at Fort Wayne add before the location at Michigan City. The per diem of each would not have been over $1,095 00, but the amount actually received by each was four times this amount, the excess being made up of the year when they were doing nothing, and erpenxes. Whether the committee examined the vouchers to eee whether the expenses were specifically set out as required by law, I cannot say. The employment of Seely and May tor a year before the location of the prison, was a part and parcel of the infamy of this whole matter. We have seen that May was made a tool of by the Directors, through whom the bribes were to be negotiated, and his pay for his service therein, appears in the following allowance by the Directors. Although employed by the year, at $2,000, yet this allowance was for " plans and improvements " the very duty he was paid for by the annual salary. For some reason, this allowance was not paid by the Auditor of State. Such is the brief exposition of these disgraceful proceedings. The General Assembly refused to appropriate anything for the prison under the contract of Talbott and Costigan, and they gave it up just before the adjournment. It elected three Republican Directors, and appropriated $35,000 for 1861, and the same amount for 18G2; for the prison and the maintenance of the prisoners. L.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ======= AYER'S <Sarsaparilla>. A compound remedy, .designed to be the most effectual Alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of stilt greater alterative power as to afford an effective antidote for the did eases Sarsaparillais reputed to enre. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which w ill accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large partion of our afflicted fallow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be fouud of tha following complaints: SCBOFPLA AND SCBOFULOrS CoMl'LAINTS, KbUPtions and Eruptive Diseases, ITi.ckrs, Pimplks, Blotches, Tcmobb, Salt Rmecm, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic A.vcctions, Mkkciirial Disease, Dbopst, Nbtraloia'ob Tio Doloirkcx, Debility, Dyspepsia and Indioestion, Erysipelas, Rose ob St. Anthony's Fibe, and indeed the whole class of complainti arising from Impurity or tbb Blood. - -',;.,". h, -.ound will be found a great prom" uealth, when taken in the spring, to jk.yvi tiie foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankliug disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions aud ulcerous sores, through which the system wiil try to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicino. Cleanse out the vitiated blood

whenever yon find its impurities bursting through the skin iu pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when yeu find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is f, 'It, people enjoy better health, and lire longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy and all is well ; but with this pabulum of life disordered there cnu be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. But the world has beeu egreglously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of sarsaparilla, or auy thing else. During late years the public has boon misled by largo bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most f these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but ofton no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts ot Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is jastly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition aud cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtnea which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. Iu order to secure their complete eradication from tha system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. PREPARED BY . Dr. JVC. AYER, X Mmtt.
