The returns from the primary elections in tlo Fourth (Richmond) Patriot indicate the nomination of JuJpo Wilson over Georgo W. Julian, tho present ltepri'eotativo in Congress. The Tcrro llauto J.xprcss of Moni day says: . A friend, in Indianapolis, writes us that V cortices was much disturbed during the lasttwo hours of his speech by tho snoring of the Hon. J . 12. Hc Donald, who eat near him on tho platform. ' Tae Executive Committee of tho Western Textile Fabric Association have decided to hold their nclt annual exposition in Indianapolis. The exhibition will bring together a largo number of manufacturers and merchants from all parts of the United States. WniTTLESEY has become bo exhilarated by the success of Monday, that ho is perfectly oblivious to his late letter invitiDg Fred. Douglas to share tho hospitality of his bed and board. Tho Courier is again full of abuse of the " nigger3," is again broadly on tho platform of " a white man's Government," and calls loudly for " the overthrow of negro equality and negro legislation." The Courier thinks our refusal to publish Mr. Carpenter's Card, in which ho returns thanks for his elec tion to tho Council, "a petty piece of radical littleness, too small for con tempt." Mr. Carpenter was the reg ular Democratic nominee, and Democrat himself, and it was a piece of impertinence on his part to ask a Republican ncwrfpapsr to publish his Card, which was of a purely political character. Tho Republican party opposed his election, and a Repub lican journal had no reason to aivo him tho benefit of its col umns to herald Ins triumph over its party friends. TilK Indianapolis and Terro Haute papers of yesterday, were full of ac counts of tho Clay county excursion Our telegraphic dispatches gave a very succinct report, and we will hardly have space for tho details. Ycstcr day was spent in examining the manu facturing enterprises and facilities o Tcrro llauto. ltie day was spent in visiting the foundries, nail works and rolliog mill, tho new iron bridge of tho St. Louis, Vandalia, and Terro llauto Railroad, the Normal School and oth cr objects of interest. At two o'clock a grand dinner was served at tho Tcrro llauto House, and the excursionist lett tor Indianapolis on the evening train. " 4,Tlio Bank Monopolists." The Courier, tho election over, has not lost its fear of, or abandoned its abuso of tho Bankers of the city. In yesterday's i.isuo it exhorts the Democratic Council to be on it3 guard against tho corrupting influonco of tho "bank monopoly" on the water works project. It also parades tho names of two of tho Rank Presidents in a ridiculous illustrated article. The editor is evidently fearful that tho Mayor and Council aro in danger of being unduly influenced by tho capitalists of the city, who happen to . bo Republican in politics. We were under tho impression from a reading of tho Courier editorials previous to the election, that its candidates for Concilmcn wero aocuro from the machinations of monopolists, and exalted above tho seductive allurements of capitalists. The Colored Vote In Cincinnati. ' Tho Cincinnati papers, without re gard to politics, unito in commendation of tho orderly and becoming manner in which the negroes of that city exercised for the first timo tho right of suffrage How strangely different tho tone of the following extract from the Enquirer (strongly Democratic) from the utterances of tho Evansvillo Courier: Notwithstanding tho apprehension oftroublo at the polls yesterday, no election in Cincinnati ever passed off , more orderly. There was not a dis- " turbance in all the city that wo could hear of. Tho day was beautiful, and an unusually large vote was polled, the chief interest centering in tho liiblo issue. For tho first time in the history of tho State tho negroes were invested with tho right of suffrage, audit is duo tho much-abused; and long-suffering race to say that they discharged their right of f'reemarjship with great digaity and decorum. They made no effort to control tho election, and nobody interfered with them. It is fair to presume, that there was not a negro of lawful age in tho city yesterday who did not get to tho polls, and who did not record his voto. And they came early, too. ; TnE Co??iUTciVif(lndependcnt)also agrees with tho Democratic organ, inits testimony, as follows. Wo had aa ordinary election yesterday. Tho colored citizens were not obstructed in the cxerciso of their right to voto, and behaved with great propriety, winning good opinions on all sides. With few exceptions- they voted straight Republican tickets. The Eible candidates carried several of tho closely contested Wards, and will have a email majority in tho Board. They aro indebted to the colored voto for their success. . j The Gazette (Republican) says : The colored men who had just been enfranchised under tho recent proclamation generally voted. Tho wholenumber of votes cast by colored persons wf a about eleven hundred. 'They voted quietly, and without molestation. It is but justice to them to say they behaved with eminent propriety, and throughout manifested an earnest desire to ascertain where their duty was to bo found. As might havo been expected, they generally voted the Republican ticket; indeed, they did this almost without exception, nnd it was noticeable that they waived present objections to men who they had reason to believe stood up for them during the war. They, too, generally cast their votes for the School Roard candidates who arc in favor of the Bible in our public schools.

The glory of great blessings is just now showered down in unffieient

quantities to satinfy all the weak kneed Democrats who failed to vote on Monday, The wooden nutmeg State, (old Connecticut,) has elected Hon. James 12. English Governor, and the v, hole Democratic State ticket. Courier. Tho 'Vrtut blebniug.-i" nro limited to the result in Connecticut and Evansvillc, ns tho dispatches from all other sections of tho country show that the elections on Monday were almost uniformly favorable to the Republican?, ss indicated by the result in Cincinnati, St. Loui3 and other cities, cast and west. And tho Democracy aro fairly entitled to all the credit they deBcrve for Gov. English's election in Connecticut. The vote of the State is Iways very close, and he is elected by less than a thousand majority. It must be remembered, however, that he was a war Democrat, and is opposed to all the pet theories and measures supported by Western Dem ocrats. He is in favor of the Fif teenth Amendment, and in a recent speech expressed himself-very decidedly on that subject, boasting that aa far back aa 1SCIJ ho was in alvance of the Republican p'trly on the enfranchisiment of the, negroes! Suih is the difference between the Democracy of Connecticut and Evansvillc. The Democracy and the Colored Voters. I From Cincinnati Gazette, April 5Ui. LI 15 ERA LIT Y, EQUALITY AND FUA TERNITY. The election yesterday showed the ameliorating effcot of equal rights on antagonisms of race and color. JSo opposition wa3 offered to the colored voto. nor any unmcndly leeling ex hibited toward tho colored voters. On tho . coutrary, they wero actively electioneered by both parties, with all the sweetness of manner that is applied to such ines. In wards where last vcar if a legal voter, having a "visible admixture of neero blood." had offered to vote, ho would have been set upon by a crowd of Irishmen, and would have been lucky it he escaped with his life, the Irish crowd recognized them as equal sovereigns, and their touch o tho ballot as making the two races akin. In tho first Ward, where the citizens of Irish and African descent do numerously inhabit, tho declaration of Mr. Fitzgerald in his speech to tho colored people on Saturday night, which was distinguished for the entire absence- of that blarney which is traditional to his race, that he had eaten with negroes, drank with negroes, crown up with negroes and in fact owes what he is and what ho expects to bo to negroee , did not in tho least alienate his Irish Demo cratic voters, but on the contrary they accepted this as tho natural amhation and continually aflirDiod that ho was a better Democrat than the Demo cratic nominee. And throughout'thc oity, although there aro as yet no laws to protect the blacks in the right to vote, their right was recognized and accepted, and al feeling of hostility to their enfran chisomcnt was changed to a kind interest in their welfare, and a benev olent desiro to aid them in casting their first vote intelligently. It is a phenomoncn for tho investigation of the scientific, as to the question of the depth and ineradicability of tho prejudice of color, especially with the Irish, in whom, from their finer na ture, it was supposed to bo most' deep scaled. It is a symptom worthy the notice of tho statesman, as to tho question of tho ballot as a personal protection. It is a cause for devout gratitudo on tho part of the Democratic party, which has believed and lamented that this barrier of color was impassible. And it is a pregnant sign that the ballot once in its own sufficient prntooti-u. and that its continued poaession will depend on no constitutional prohibitions. Tho School Decision. Thcro can be no mistaking "the meaning of the vote yesterday on tho Bcho.ol question. Cincinnati has declared, iu a way that nobody can misundorstand. with an emphasis that nobody can fail to catch, that by tho public school system, as it exists today, she is going to stand. The issuo that was presented was plain apd sharp. Her position is no less plain, not a whit less decided. A Catholic party was openly, avowedly, uncompromisingly at war with tho schools. Aiding that party, under the claim of struggling for tho freedom of eonscience, wero many who professed to be warm friends of the public schools. To both the party and its allies the city speaks this morning very firmly, very decidedly. Cincinnati Gazette, Aprils. Railroad Matter?. Tiie work on the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad is being pushed forward by the contractors, and in a very Bhort timo will havo reached tho great coal fields of Hopkins county. The engineering party from St. Louis is out upo i the line of tho Evansville& Carmi Railroad, perfecting the survey for the estimate upon which b proposition will be submitted to the Board of Directors to build the Road without delay. Messes. Mann and Rosenbaum, directors of tho Mt. Vernon, Grayvillo & Mattoon Railroad, telegraphed from New York, under date of the 1st inst., that tho building of tho Road "is certain," and that the contractors' engineer is on his way to Mt. Vernon. Da. Lewis, of Princeton, will address tho citizens of Poseyvillo on the subject of a railroad troin Princeton to Mt. Vernon, on Saturday, April 231. The pcoplo of Orange County are strongly in favor of the building of tho Sandusky Railroad from Seymour through Paoli and on to Evansville. Alludixq to to prospect of the extension "of the Evansvillc & Crawfordsvillo Railroad, from Rockvillc to Lafayette, the Tcrre Haute Journal remarks: "The extension of tho Evansvillc & Crawfordsvillo Railroad to Lafayette in one direction, at tho same timo it is extended to Chicago in another, will mako it one of the most valuable roads in the State. The city will soon bo able to sell its stock at par, and invest the funds in water works, or aiding other roads."

It is stated that work on tho Owena-1 boro end of the Owenaboro, Russcll-

villc it Nashville Railroad is progressing, with a fair prospect of a train running on the first twenty miles early in the Summer. The prospects of the road arc said to be quite flattering. AnitANOF.MF.NT.s for tho consolida tion of the Little Miami and Pennsylvania Railroads, which was effected fouio timo since, went into operation ast week. The new corporation will jc called tho Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad. The general headquarter of the road will be in Columbus, Ohio. We are gratified to notice that on this new line of approach, the Pcnn-ylvania Road is coming nearer to our shipping and traveling public. There is no corporation iu the country better managed or more liberal to its patrons. It has lately added a new attraction to its comforts of travel, in placing upon its line the celebrated Pullman Palace Car3. assenger3 to the east will thu9 be able to enter one of these elegant par lors at Cincinnati and reach Philadelphia or New York, without change of cars. The engineering party of the North and Suiith (Pierce) Road have been. for the past two weeks, on the pro posed lino in the counties of Warrick, Pike, and Daviess. To-day an important meeting of railroad officials will be held in New Albany, on which occasion General Winslow, President of the St. Louis and Southeastern Illinois Railroad, Robert Bell, President of tho St Louis, Mt. Carmel and New Albany Railroad, and President Bradley and Other officials of the New Albany and St. Louis Air Line Railway, including several gentlemen from Louisville will confer together in regard to tho interests of tho Air Line Railway. Work on the Tcrro Hauto Danvillo Railroad is being prose cutcd with vigor, lhey have contracted for all tho tics necessary, and the very best quality of Welsh iron is to bo used in its construction. It is expected that the road will be completed for at least half the dis tance by tho middle of August. .The broad ciuze for railroads is getting to be pretty generally regard ed with disfavor. Attorney Genera Allen, of Massachusetts, speaking against the proposed further aid to the Boston, Hartford & Eric Rail road Company, said last Tuesday: "The advocates of tho broad gaugo theory of lato years has been pretty much confined, to its unfortunate victims. The extra weight of rolling stock, iu proportion to the load car riod, raises the proportion of non-pay log tonnage, and tho friction duo to tho curves is largely in excess of that upon tho narrow gaugo. Insomo lor cign countries, where Buch property is protected from competition, the broad gaugo roads aro prosperous but where they come in open compo tition with the narrow gauge, bank ruptcy is the rule to which tncre is hardly an exception. The earnings of the Indianapolis and Tcrro llauto ltailroad during tho year ISG'J wcrcl,27!Ml;J 31, being an increase of $'Ja,G;7 JO over tho pro ceding year. TlIE Tcrro Haute Gazette R)" ; ni ' n,l.ii.)i rr-VltlZCUS x aro not r!iri !, upon tho completion ui the Danville and Bloomtield Railroads, there will bo but five cities on the continent at which more railroads converge than Terro Haute. These cities are New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and Indianapolis. Besides these, St. Louis will be the only city having a number of railroads equal to Terro Haute. Indianapolis and Vincennes 11.11. It is said that this road is still operated and controlled by D. C. Branham & Co., and that all the earnings above the expenses go to them in payment for the building of the road; and until tho contractors receive tho amount duo them for the constrrction of tho road, it cannot bo improved to a very great extent, or first class rolling Btock placed upon it. Vincennes Su . Crop Items. In the northern part of the tale farmers will feed their stock nearly seven months this year. The Mt. Vernon Democrat reports tho prospects for wheat in Posey County as excellent, never better, and the farmers in good humor thereat. The Grandview Monitor says that tho peach crop in that vicinity is comparatively uninjured by the frost, and the apples are entirely unhurt. Tobacco, of which there was a large amount grown last year in Spencer county, is coming to market very rapidly, and the stemmeries are all doing a good business. Many farmers have adopted the plan of selling their crops by tho wagon load, at public auction, and almost every day large trains of wagons are upon the streets, loaded with the "weed," which brings good round prices. It is the opinion among the farmers of Jay county that tho next wheat harvest will be as much below an average crop as the last ycar'fl crop was above it. j i The Rochester Standard says: Many cattle are dying in the western part of Fulton county. ; Tho cause of this decimation of the bovines is the long .continued inclement weather and the defective quality of the prairie hay cut last summer. The Terrc Ilaulc Express says: From what wo can learn from the farmers throughout the county, the wheat crop will be quite slim this year. But this ia about what we learned last year. In the locality of Charleston, and sorno other portions of Clarke county, there will be an abundance of peach bloom, and tho prospcet is -.now f air for a general crop of fruit, including apples, pairs, cherries and email fruits. In other portions of .Clarke county, and in many localities in Indiana and Kentucky, we are sorry to learn tho prach l loom is entirely destroyed. Clarke County Record.

CHINA.

Social Traits Domestic Life Chi nese Towns, lite. From the Hau Francisco Uuiletln. A young American missionary now at Tungchow, in tho province oi'Chcfoo, in tho north of China, who, a few months ago, passed through San Francisco on his way to that country, writes to a friend in this city, among other things, as follows, 'under date of December 11th: the climate, milk, irrc. We are now experiencing cold weather. Snow has fallen two or three times; but three inches is not much, and tho dry soil and tho dry winds soon evaporate what comes ; down. A few Sundays ago we had a sharp hail storm, lasting half an hour, and Mrs. N got hail enough to have a dish of ice cream made. But that is a luxury the Chinese care nothing for. They think it is dis gusting for us to drink cow'a mill, or eat butter or cheese, or any product ot milk; yet wet nurses can be obtained among them without difficulty, not only for infants, but also for a?ed person. A CHINESE candle. I am writing by the light of a Chi nese candle, which is a curiosity in its way. It is not over six inches long, thicker than ours, and for a wick has a straw wrapped with paper. The candlestick, instead of being a tube in which the candle is stuck, is a stand with a sharp nail sticking up. on which the candle is skowercd. On taking the candle off I can blow up throngh tho straw and lengthen the flame, as a blow-pipe would. It is like a small Argand lamp, but they lessen its value by spiking tho straw tube. CONTRA ItlETY OP CHINESE CUSTOMS. As the candle is a specimen of tho contrariety of Chinese customs and things to ours, I will mention some others, The muleteers 1 continually hear sav Gee to their beasts to turn them to tho left, and ' Ho" or "Hoh" to turn them to the right. To start them forward and to stop them, too, they are always saying "Ha!" When they meet each other on tho road they keep to the left instead of fo the right, as we do, and in mounting a horse get up on the right sido instead of the left, a3 wo do. While 1 am writing. Mr. M is close by mo studying a book of Chinese phrases, composed by i Chinese scholar as siuiplo sentences Tho one he is at work upon now says: " When people arc too young to havo beards, their laces havo to be scraped with a razor." Tho writer's Chinese teacher being requested to write his first name, Edward, tried to pro nouncc, it but, after several attempts. gave it up in despair, saying, My belly has no Euch sound in it the usual Chinese way ot saying, 1 can not pronounce it." 8EALINQ LETTERS IN CHINA. " ' Yesterday ono of our assistants was sending off a letter, and, as their cn velopes have no gum attached, he do libcrately ecraped his teeth with his finger nail and used the tartar he col lected as so much mucilage. As these natives generally use no tooth brushes. he carries a supply with him. 1 learn that this is their usual way of sealing letters. Dentists arc unknown among this people, and tho mouths of most you meet tell the story of their destitution. Missionaries who live in such an out-of thc-way place as Tung chow feel the need of them also. Sj, too. our doctor is fifty-four miles away at Chefoo. Should any of us become so sick as to defy the skill of all ot us here, we would be put on a mule litter (a sort of palanquin, car ried between two mules, ono going beiore and one behind it, and the shafts fastened to their saddles,) and carried up hill and down, a journey ot a day and a halt, tn ueotho.i ,m jj . , j.j)B to keep our Health until a physician, devoted to the cause of tho Saviour, comes to join our sta tion. Inclosed in tho letter is a carte dc visite photograph of the writer, taken by a native artist. Sing Tua, who lived for a time in the house of one tho missionaries at NiDgpo. Ji is poor, and tho expression truly lugubrious, but not worse than very many sold to Americans in San Francisco. It is sent merely to show that the Chinese aro learning somo of our arts and popularizing them. There is also inclosed a small square piece of common brown muslin, of rather .good quality, which tho writer wore pinned on to the top of his hat, in lieu of crape, when attending the funeral of a respectable native. It was handed him for the purpose by one of the relatives in charge of the ceremony. AN INCIDENT OP CHINESE DOMESTIC LIVE. A few days ago I took a trip into the country at short notice. The following was the occasion: Brother M had rented a house at Chowyuen, about forty-five miles southwest of. Tungchow, for a chapel, obtaining the Mandarin's assurance that the papers were correct before payicg the money. He had not gone far on his return before a messenger came to him from the landlady, saying that the members of the family, headed by her nephew, had sought to get from her the money, part of which she had received from Brother M . Failing in that, they had beaten her and her son and the broker engaged in the transaction. Hearing more to the same effect, the missionaries decided it was better he should return, with Brother II , who had been longer the and is familiar with the etiquette at interviews with Mandarins, and seek redress for the woman, and a proclamation that would insure them the peaceable occupation of the house. To enable him to sec the country apd observe the customs of tho people, tho writer accompanied them. They found that the trick the old woman's relatives had sought to play upon her was thoroughly Chinese. They went to her, and, headed by her nephew, insisted on her giviog up to them tho money she had received. They thought it was S;130 or upwards, but it really was only $30, of which she had but $3 or f 10 on hand. When refused they beat her severely though rshe is sisty-five.or seventy years old. ller son stole her eight or ton dollars and then required her to kill herself in the following way, which the head of the clan proposed to make profitable to himself: - Sho was to go to tho inn where we are, and because Mr. M had been entertained there she was to break dishes and 6uch other things as she could lay hands upon. This, it was hoped, would provoko tho inn-keeper to beat her to death. That failing, she was to go to a banker who had bought or exchanged Mr. M 's silver, and provoko a beating, in hopes of thus meeting her death. She was then to die upon his door-step, whereupon the nephew, becoming inconsolable, would profcecute the inn keeper or the banker for heavy damages for his irreparable loss. If tho old woman would not agree to this plan they threatened to bury her alive 1 This enraged her more than tho beating they gave her. It excited her Mpunk, and bLo told them, "Bury away;

you'll never get the property, so do your worst." Mr. M says it is allowable here to bury alive for a heinous offense, when the members of a clan agrco upon it; then the Mandarins will not interfere. A case of this kind happened a few years ago in this province. Tho threat to the old woman lets you seo how heinous a crime many Chinese regard intercourse with foreigners for religious purposes. After several days delay the Mandarin " promised Brother M a paper, insuring peaceable occupancy of tho house, or else an equally eligible one," and therefore tho missionaries hoped lor no further difficulty. " But before wo left Chow-Yuen we sent for the old woman, the landlady, but she could

not be lound. But it is not lmpossile that her relatives havo put her out of sight." TRAVEL. VILLAGES. ETC. The roads in this part of China are trails or bridle paths, along which the pack animals string' out in single file up hill and down. On level ground two can ride abreast. Beddicg is carried in a flit sack like a mattress across the saddle, Sheazas, or mule litters, mentioned above, are trequently used, in Lhina there are no farm houses, but all the people cluster in -viWasres. whlnh fhjrAfnro are seen in all directions every mile or so. liach village 13 composed of one, two or three "families, with a'l their generations; so that if the lamily name is Wrong, evory ono in that place is named Wrong, with onO er two other names added to distinguish them. (This is pretty much as though in Smithville all were Smith, distinguished as Tom, Dick and Harry.) DIET OP THE NORTHERN CHINESE. Rice is grown chiefly in tho southern part ot China, and up hero is a luxury; even down there rice as whito and clean as you have it is a luxury. Onmy trip to Ningpo I could not eat their rice. Millet is a grain as large as mustard seed, yellow when cooked, and then looking and tasting just liko mush made of coarse coarn meal. . It is very good, and forms the staple of food here. 1 .ho whent flour they make into quite good bread, rolls, fritters and sponge-eake, but all their "baking" consists of steaming. You would be pleased to taste somo of their bread. Try it and you will liko it. Make the dough into dumplings as big as your fist. Put a little water in a kettle and a wooden frame in it, in which to plac3 the bread, to be out ot tho water. Tut on tho hd. tic it down and then cook. Tho bread does not look nice, for thcro is no brown crust, but, except that the Chi nese put no salt in it, it tastes very good. I hey eat a great deal of cab bage, and this is a good dish, it is really a kind nf lettuce, tasting like cauliflower. Pork, chicken and duck aro almost all the meat they have. The missionaries at Tungchow occa sionally have an ox killed for their own use. Tho Chineso are extrava gantly fond of garlic, and eat it al most every meal. Their breath is odoriferous in consequence. .Ono could live on Chinese food pretty well, if ho could dispense with no tions of cleanliness not otherwise. INN ACCOMMODATIONS IN CHOW YUEN You can scarcely conceive of anyteing pretending to be comfortable that has less of comfort in it than in a Chinese house. Take tho room we three missionaries arc occupying at this Chinescn inn for an example. It is about twenty feet square, on the ground floor of course. Tho floor is of rammed earth. The walls, once white, aro brown with smoke: the roof of tho nouso. is the ceiling, the thatching being smoky and cobwebby, The two windows aro glazed with Tapcr. The sido of the room is furnished with a long, low table or bed stead, on Which a coarao ut ,im 6prcad, on which again the ni"' would spread r-.-we and go to e navo a mattress and good bedding of our own. and are comfortable. The Chineso depend , for warmth, chiefly -x on wearing much clothing, that for winter being quilted cotton. And so in our room there is no stove. When we wislv. to waim our fingers, our servant brings in a copper pan with a little charcoal fire, over which we rub our hands. This is the style in China, where fuel is both very scarce and dear. A native woman coming into Mrs. M 's parlor, said, "Heaven cannot be nicer than this." Yet if the government would permit coal mines to be opened there would bo no lack of fuel, for coal abounds. Our seats arc the native chairs very . rudctlyou would say, and two stools or horses, such as our carpenters put their boards on to saw them. These are the usual stylo ot bench. There are, in short, very few houses in Philadelphia that are not better than this Chinese inn, yet we can get on comfortably enough by wearing our Overcoats., SADDLERY, ETC. tiliO.
