The Owensboro Monitor saya the rjater portion of last season's tobaoc a crop in Daviess County, has been " Id, but a considerable quantity re:ins undelivered awaiting the con ion of tbe roads and suitable atbcr for " transportation. The I liters have not realized anticipated uns on their crop owing to the roage by frost. The people of ' Pikeville, Pike inty, have been so troubled by in ... Jarie3, thieves, robbers and ras- .!: generally, that their confidence i f he usual means for punishing such ;f aders has become impaired. They a? accordingly organized a Vigi- . ; ce Committee, and propose to make dr neighborhood altogether too hot a: -he scamps who have been lurking i that vicinity. The knowleJge of isistence of this committee will be cvf apt to occasion an exodu3 on the rt of the rogues who dread the :I t jr. ; Monday last, Mt.

Carmel v.t: I the subscription, the road, befc a those points, would bo put jacUr contract within thirty days. '! h re can be no reason, we think, h y this section of the road should r. ' I e finished within the time designed. The Gibson County subr t':; tion added to the Mt.

T ,:E Cincinnati Enquirer eftixi to $1,000 that it ha3 an editor v, ho "will do more cf the general Ok k of journalism, and doit better, that any man connected with the Ne York press; the te3t to include livery grade of Eervice from the t'llcijg-office to the sanctum; to bey'.a v ith the type-Eetter and end with ho . lief editor, and to skip none of I' e intermediate stages of local repo'tlag, short hand reporting, &c." VTe i resume that " Littla Mack" is ' he editor aforesaid, who is able to do o Ei icb, anddo it better than any Yorker, or any other man. The IS York Standard proposes to ao-ci-3-he bet oa the part of the New Y.ak press, and stand good for its bharc. It lames Mr. Howard as tho representative of the New Yorkers. : i'! er paper, however, suggest any i lia by which the merits of these ch-iixpions can bo tested. If manusa I ..ring bogus "Washington dispatcher t c the test, we "bet our inoney on Mack." In that department he is v;ta -ut a peer. '1 -.E Dubois Democracy, we are 5 1 to say. are not harmonious. Soiu3 very injudicious nominations. if mc may credit the statements of the r r3r Courier, have been made. Le vo;- Cave, the candidate for Senator, -ti l not be supported by some of the ! a-iing Democrats of the County. 'II v? boldly declare "his utter unfit-Gz-'i for tha position on account cf Li i illiterate mind, and his not being cn'i petent to write three consecutive sectjnees correctly, or understand thf r.i properly after they might be ino''rp orated in the draft of a law.' M'; cannot but regard these com ohiits as unreasonable.. The De tocracy of Dubois, of course, desire i o Le reDresented by a "man of the i cc?le" one who is in all respects i k- alarge majority of those who w 11 vote for him. How ucjust, then, f o the impracticable few to insist tL, t the lion. Leroy Cave "should be cbi j to write, or understand "consecutive lentcnces" when written. I t the dissatifaction is as deep and viL. spread 83 indicated by the Cou)'':r, one might reasonably conclude L j.' a rare opportunity for a "reform in iv.ment" presented itself. The : - of the reform would be, of ':?v -e, the ability of Senatorial canJvi i es to read and write. Since our c-y ' as felt the neceEsity of Eending to : t county for some of its most rrou inent ofacials, we confess that wef . 3l an interest in any measure t! a; :ooks to an improvement in the , :ix:: y of tho politicians of that too a Uy Democratic section. Having air . j ily furnished us with a Chief of I' jl j. it may aspire to furnish u, in ii r c, with State Senators. We trust, ' r. "ore, that a reform will be iaau.'uij. ed to the extent, at least, of v.; celling aspirants for Senatorial L'j: -B to be able to read and write ' il.r . 3 consecutive sentences." Ti; E New Albany Ledger pluckily K.i'fci io its position with reference to t! ,t verdict of the jury in the McFariitd caise, EOiwithstanding the rei administered by that highly MC-atanrV influential paper, the Ev:siv;de Courier.'

VOL. XXL ity. Its ipse dixit on thi3 point are numerous and oracular. Where it is best known but few have the temerity to take issue with it on questions of that character. Uut while we extend to the Ledger our sympathy for being placed among tho had by the Courier, our admiration of its pluck compels us to copy the closing paragraph of its article ia reply to the dogmatic criticism of that paper. The Ledger says: It, therefore, appears that the fault Drimarilv lav ia McFarland and hi3 wife, and a man si Cera the penalty of the assassin's bullet for beicg only the occasion of the new afiection. lie suffers death for that which no court or jury in the land, no law in civilized nations would even hardly condemn him to a convict's cell. We submit, therefore, that the morality of our criticism upon tte acquittal of McFarland is every way just and proper in the sight of human and Divine law, and odIt a debauched popular sentimentalism, iafidel in theory, and most atrociously deleterious to the well-being of society, could in any way have secured the acquittal of McFarland from the just consequences of his great crime. Tub Reform movement, which the Democrats have iaaugurated in strong Republican counties like Marion and Tippecanoe, is not promising a very abundant harvest of fat offices to the hungry aspirants, who despaired of ever obtaining them through their own party organization. The Republicans who were put forward much as the monkey, oa a certain occasion. put forward the paws of an unsophisticated cat to rake his chesnuts out of the "fire are discovering' the cheat, and repudiating the cheaters. In Lafayette, one or two of the most important candidates on- the Reform ticket have refused to have anything to do with it, and have published cards, signifying their in tention of standing by the political party which has done eo much tor the country, and of whoso general history they are proud. In Indianapolis, Dr. J. "T. Boyd, one of the Vice Presidents of the Reform meeting over which the Democratic papers have been cacklicg bo loudly, has published a carl similar to those which appeared in the Lafayette papers. ur. xioya says : " The meeting last night in Mozart Hall paw proper to elect me one of the Vice Presidents of the "Reform Party." This movement was entirely without my knowledge or consent. I am not ready to leave the party tbat I believe has dooe so much for the country, although I may not approve" ct tbe action oi the late ltepubhcan Convention, and the manner in which the ticket was elected; yet, as i stated in a previous card. I propose to assist to elect the men who are now carrying tho banner of the Republican party in this county arid State. . J T. Boyd." Tuesday, May 17, 1870. We doubt not the great majority of Republicans, who will familiarize themselves with the history of these so called "Reform" movements, will be satisfied that it will be much easier to remedy evils inside their own or ganization than by any attempts to form coalitions with representatives of a party whofce entire history is an epitome of corruption and rebellion. In Chicago and Cincinnati the people tried these so called Reformers, and the result has satisfied them that the experiment is a most disastrous one, and we venture the prediction that it will be a long time before they express a wish to repeat it. The Democracy never talk about reform tickets in cities, countias or States where that party is in the majority. Who hears any talk of a R.eform party in Kentucky, notwithstanding the .terrible failure of the last State administration. Judge JonN A.Robinson has consented to address his fellow mokes at their Fifteenth Amendment celebration, at Princeton, on the 26th inst. New Harmony Register. And we notice that a number of our Democratic friends here, some of whom take high rank in the party, have had the kindness to subscribe money to help defray the expenses of the celebration.

Editors Journal: We left Evansville on Monday morning, en route to attend the semiannual session of the Grand Lodge and Grand Eccampment I. O. Q. F. The delegates from Evansville in attendance here are C. K. Drew, Wm. C. Turnock, Harry Smith, and the undersigned, from Blorning Star Lodge No. 7; . R. F. Schor, from Crescent Lodge, No. 122; John Dannettell and Andrew Jauseh, of Schiller, No. 138. The only event of note on the route, was the big dinner at Viccennes, gotten up by Capt. Mass, on the reopening of the Junction House, ls.tely destroyed by fire. The supply of substantial was inexhaustible, and the quality of the same could not be excelled. The cheery tones of tbe vet eran and popular Captain gave an assurance of welcome to his hosts of old friends, wbo rejoiced greatly that he was again on hand to attend to the wants of the inner man, and furnish hungry nature's prompt restorer. "Long may he wave." The attendance at this semi annual communication is very large more than usual at the May session. The Grand -Encampment met at nice o'clock yet-ter lay morning, and seventy-cine new members were exalted, i j; ? ody f:;.1 t:;n o; : nc. ; .,.1.;est ta tbe l'atriarobs ''.s the ps $e of a resolution isstrur .iag the r-.rrs-

sentatives to the Grand Encampment of the United States .to use their influence to have a law passed, forbidding the admission of anv one engaged in the sale of intoxicating liqaor3 as a beverage. ' This resolution elicited a warm debate, and was finally amended to read so as to embrace all sellers of liquors "wholeBale or retail" druggists excepted. The session of the Grand Lodge was one of unusual interest; many of tho brightest lights of our Order in the State are present, and have discussed some questions of the gravest importance. Tho qaestion of changing the laws, so as to prevent the admission of any person engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors, was brought up last session, and laid over, for action at this communication. ; This is referred to in the Grand Master's report, and is cf such import- j ance, that 1 think it proper Ho quote him in fall, on this subject. Ho rofers to it as follows: Tbe question of further leg'siation on tbe rignt of trbcrdloatea to deal wlih members who engage ia tue sale of spirituous liquors, was iutroduced at tbe last C'ommauicaliou; aua has, ;:o some exteuc, been considered ia the L.o Jea. TbeUrand Lodge of tue United States bss decided, at iU bets ion of 18i9; pp. 15o3, 1604 of tbe Journal: 'That they cannot perceive any tight under the C'00 " Mtlon, nor have they heard of auy (u. mental principles of the Order which . "ows SubordSnate Lodges to abridge thelroertleu oi the cillz.iu, uu ti) dictate what he shall eat, or what Le thall di ink; they do not find any ilyht under the coustUution whereby Kabordinares may introduce new principles, by which the Order must be governed in their jurisdio.loD. All good Odd Fellows, as feueb., despise the abuse of Intoxicating driuks: and, in their "war against vice," they look upon drunkenness a incompatible with every principle of the Order. But neither will the law nor the principles of Odd Fellowship descend to tbe leslric'.ion or regulation of the beverage of its members. As the introduction f a new principle, it conaot be constitutionally approved, without a jreviouj sanction frooi this body." 'i'hls legislation wai founded upon a qaery: " vVbether a Urand Lode cau approve a by-law of a Subordinate prohibHi o. under peaalty. 1 he use of spirituous liquors as a beverage?" but will uhdoubteuy be construed, as the introduction of a new principle, to refer to the interdiction of the s;ile asso. surely the legisl,tioujir this body at tbe May Communication, 180, pp. X3-2i, gives a tuple power to toe Subordinates to deal with this quee.tiou. if further legislation is sought for, suifosinglhis Grand Lodge has the right to compel its (subordinates toBtstpend or exnel mambera who engage in the sale of spirituous liquors as a beverage ; it has ao bach right, 'x his, like all offences, must be determined uy a vote or iwo-tinras ci the members, and ucli sssucha vote din be had in tbe Subordinate, no legislation of this Grand Body can compel the infliction of anenall v. I make the.se 6iiaestions, that should this question be taaen np, it may De considered in tbe light of ail the law which governs It. Without the sanction of the Grand Lodge U. S , any legislation on this subject by lliiH Urand Body would be nugatory. The Legislative Committee to whom the above was referred, will report this afternoon in favor of concurring with the Grand Manter, and will recommend that the matter be referred to the Grand Lodge of tho United States. The next question of importance, is the proposed cutting down of the representation, and districting tne State. Many plans have been proDOEcd. but nono yet that give any promise of beicg adopted. It is prob able that tno per centage win De increased from 6 to 10 cents. Resolu tions to that effect were introduced last session, and were referred to the Legislative Committee, who reported this morning as follows: To the R. W. G. L. of Indiana: The Legislative Committee to whom was relerred the amendment proposed at the last communication, to fceo. 1. of Cb'ap. X, of tteGjneral Laws, on pase7'', provl iin for Increasing the percentage from subordinate LodgeR, have cousiderd the question, arid are of the opinion thit all question afreet lay the finances of this Grand Body, should be considered in connect on, so that, any cnanie made may harmonize with the general organisation. Tne committee recommend that the proposed amendment be committed to a Select Committee of teven, of which the urand Manter" and Grand secretary shall be expfliclo members, and the following questions be referred to said committee, vizi A boiishlng the seml-aunual Communication; reduction of the number of Kepresentatives to this Grand Body; antl tbe districting of the Bi ale to that end. W. K. EfWAitDS, Chairman. The report was concurred in, and the Committee of Seven will report at the next session. The above ia about all the business of importance up to noon to day.

This morning, at nine o'clock, at Stade's Crossing, near Palatine, Ills., en the Northwestern Railroad, as a German, named Lisapeoh, and his wife were crossing the track in a wagon, theywero run into by the Woodstock accommodation train and both fatally injured. There were pleasant showers last night and this morning:, extending over a large area io the Northwest, which did an immense amount of good to the crop, althoagh they had not began to sulfer to any extent from drouth. Yesterday afternoon a gang of six or eight prisoners made a desperate attempt to escape from the State penitentiary at Joliet, by rushing through a gate while a team was passing through. The guards fired on the runaways, killing two, and the balance were captured in a few minutes. Judge Dillon, in the United States Court at Des Moines, Iowa, has given a decision in tho raliroad bond case of Christopher Lansing vs. the County Treasurer of Muscatine County. It appears, that it was impossible to issue a writ of mandamus, executed by the State, and collect the taxes. It must be done by the United States Marshal, and he will do it io the counties of Lee, Johnson and Muscatine. The Court said it was important for the people to understand that they must abandon all hope of escape from the payment of these bonds. Tbey must be aid, and the officers of the Court will be sustained by the power of the Government. Destructive Fire at St. Paul, Klnn. Loss frora SSO.OCO to $75,OG3. Chicago, May 19.

The other is probably CLarbs Andrews, Msyor of Syracuse; but it may be Hon. Charles Masou, of Madison County. The Spanish spies claim to have known for some time that the Cuban war vessel, Geo. B.

The Times this morning, in a remarkably bitter edi torial on tbe alleged mismanagement of Erie Itailroad affairs, asserts that the standard of commercial morality ia lower ia the city of New York than anywhere else in the world. What here in England would be deemed crimes, there would bo regarded as masterpieces of financiering. It concerns-tbe American people to purge themselves of this reproach, though it will be a task equal in difficulty to the abolition of slavery. The Times also has an article on the yacht race. There i3 probably no schooner in England that can sail with the American yacht Sappho, which, throughout the match, was bandied by an English Captain. A dispatch from Madrid direct 6ays tbat the State Council of Ministers have determined to confer upon Serrano the royal attributes, if no candidate for the throne is found within a short time.
