Till US 3 AY. ilAY 23, 1810. R2FCBLICAX DISTBIC1 COSYKSII0J A V. ass Convention ot Repnbllcana will be held at , Trlaccton, on Thursday, Jane 16,

At cue o'clock p.m., for the purpose of iuaV.Bg Congressional and Judicial noml nations, and transacting such other buslr. ! as niav rroterly come before the Con', entlon. Facb. county will be entitled to cast its vc'.c in the Convention In proportion to 1U Republican R:rength. The Republicans in the. various conn' ties of the First Congressional District are requested to send a full representation. P.'pers friendly to the cause are re quet-ted to copy. By order of the Ex Com. 1st Cosa. Dist. George C. Haediso: has once tgxln retired from the Indianapolis Evening Mirror. Berry R. Sulgrove .sn Veen encased to write for that paper. The Chicago Post boasts its supe riority as an advertising medium. It says a man recently lost a horse in that city. An advertisement of the miss ing animal caused its prompt restora tion, all bridled and saddled, whereas, when it left, it had on nothing but a halter. The post has always been a capital institution tor securing horses. The Republicans of Bowling Green, Ky., held a mass meeting on Mondav last, and nominated a full County ticket, as follows : For Courtty Court Judge, Henry Potter; for County Court Clerk, M. M. Hart; for Sheriff, Samuel V. Goode; for Jailor, C. T. Stewart; for Assessor, Alfred Taylor; for Coroner, W. P. Hayes; for Surveyor, A. N. Dick. Tns destruction of the Central Canal aqueduct over Fall Creek, near Indianapolis, on Sunday night last, caused the suspension of three or four large manufacturing establish' dents, including two paper mills and a large woolen factory. From eighty to one hundred operatives V7illthus be thrown out of employment for a period of at least three months. The cost to repair the damage will amount to about $10,000. The departure of Bishop Simpson for Germany, will make a change in the presiding officer of the Indiana Conference at its next session. . The deaths of Bishop Thompson and Kingsley, and the feebleness and illhealth of Bishrp Morris, Baker and Scott, necessaiily impose extraordidinary labor upon the remaining Bishops. Several ot the Conferences will, no doubt, have to depend upon special appointments for presiding officers. Democsact. Louisville, like New York, may ba fairly said to be Democrat. The rate of taxation in that city this year will be nearly 21 per cent., and the total amount of taxes about $1,390,214. The programme inaugurated by our present Council, if carried out for a couple of years, will enable us to be as Democratic in the way of taxation as Louisville. Republican Indianapolis pays, only nino-tenths of one per cent. A radical difference. The New Albany papers are happy over the fact that the State Geologist is now on a geological survey, calculated to advertise the New Albany & St. Louis Road. Professor Cox is expected to find a greater quantity and a better quality of block coal than ho has yet reported the existence of; iron ore of superior quality must also be designated, and building stone unrivaled in Quantity and quality. If he fails to find all these, or announce - that he found them, he had better make his will or prepare to return to his pleasant little home on the Wabash ; for the New Albany papers will urly "skin him alive." Like the Joy hunting for the Gopher, the Professor must find these valuable minerals for the very existence of the road depends upon -it. If he fails New Albany will be out of.meat. At last the Sentinel has been smoked out. Under orders from Washington it defends Mr. Vdorhees at great length, and attempts to prove that having only voted to take the final vote on the .North Pacino land grant, so as to expedite business, he can not be justly claimed as a friend of the measure. The Sentinel, however, smartly omitted to ; state that upon the motion to lay the bill upon th 3 table, which was the vote to decide who was in favor of land swindles, Mr. Voorhees teas the only mem.' her from Indiana whose name is recorded against that plan of disposing of the scheme. The Sentinel also omits to say that Mr. Voorhees is the Attorney of the Fremont Pacific Road, and lately argued its case before the House Pacific Railroad Committee. The Sentinel is compelled to defend Mr. Voorhees, nd to announce that that ambitious statesman will soon let loose some of his thunderous rhetoric in defenso of the system of squandering tha public land?. We now have the Sentinel zni Mr. Voorhees squarely on the record. Niblack, Ilolman and Kerr are slaughtered by the "organ" to save thel Wabash Sycamore. Jnd. Journal. We have waited long and waited anxiously to hear from the Courier with reference to Mr. Voorhees's vote in favor of the great land monopoly of the Northwest, but it is dumb as an oyster. While denouncing land monopolies it does not condemn Mr. Voorhees. The ostrich sticks its head in the sand and imagines that its entire body is concealed. The Terra Haute Express is quite modest. It speaks of that pleasant little town on the Wabash as a "flourishing city, a locality renowned for intellectual and moral culture." Nobody would recognize the town Irom that photograph. The "moral culture" for which Terre Haute ia renowned will be exhibited at the races which are to come off there thia week, an exhibition that ia highly intelleclu al. St-ite Sentinel.

- Ing or the Mtssourl Republican COce.

Thi3 large newspaper establishment wa3 totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening. Our telegraph report, as frequently happens, contained not

a word concerning it, notwithstanding the fire occurred as early as 8 o'clock in the evening. .The progress of the flames was bo rapid that the compos itors in the news-room had no time to lose in effecting their escape. The total loss is estimated at $160,000. Tho amount of insurance was $1C6,500. The Republican issued a small sheet yesterday morning, but expected thereafter to continue its publication as usual. Newspapers cannot stop for fire, death, or any other calamity. Nothing short of the destruction of the orld and the final winding up of all things, is regarded as a sufficient excuse for a metropolitan" newspaper to suspend its issue for any length of time. U. S. District Court. We have been shown a private let ter from Hon. D. D. Pratt, our U. S. Senator, dated May 21, in response to communications received by him from citizens of our city, relative to the House Bill establishing terms of the U, S. District Court in this city, now pending ia the Senate. Senator Pratt says he has made repeated applications to different members ot the Senate Judiciary Committee, urging them to report the bill. It is understood, however, that Senator Trumbull, Chairman of the Committee, is opposed to the plan, and hence the delay in reporting the bill. Atthe request of a member of the Commit tee, Senator Prat', made a statement of facts, showing the importance of the bill to our people, growing out of our large commercial in'rests, etc. Not being a member of the Committee, of course Senator Pratt can do nothiBg more than he has done. In thiii connection, we copy a paragraph from the Courier of yesterday. urging the appointment of General Veatch as one of the Committee to visit Washingtc We direct attention to the suggestion made by a correspondent in this morning's Courier, that Gen. James C. Veatch be added to the committee to visit Washington, for the purpose of securing the passage through the Senate of the House bill to establish a term of the United States District Court at Evansville. We approve the suggestion. The bill has already passed the House, and ia in danger of failure before the Senate, because our own Senators, Morton and Pratt, are understood to be favorable toother local interests. Cols. Denby and Hornbrook will do all in their power- to secure the passage of the bill through the Senate, but we respectfully submit that General Veatch may control certain influences that neither gentleman can. By all means let the General accompany Cols. Denby and Hornbrook to Washington. This is only another of the many instances where the Courier allows party malice to confliot with the true interests of our city. There is not an intelligent business man in the city who does not know that if Senators Pratt and Morton, as alleged by the Courier, are unfriendly to the establishment of the proposed branch of tho District Court in our city, that four or five hundred dollars Bpent in sending a committee to Washington will be absolutely thrown away. There is every reason to believe that both these Senators are doing what they can to advance the interests of our city, and the Courier's malevolent insinuation is a gratuitous display of partisan malice. We have cheerfully conceded all credit to Congressmen Niblack and Kerr for their endeavors in our behalf. But the Courier can never treat a political opponent with fairness, much less with generosity. A fair critisism on the paragraph from that paper is, that while it urges the expenditure of money, in sending a committee to Washington, it is resolved that, so far as its influence can effect the result of their mission, the money shall be spent to no purpose. Gen. Veatch, would, no doubt, feel greatly strengthened, should he visit Washington, by the paragraph in question, and Senators Morton and Pratt, will also feel like redoubling their efforts, when tbey ascertain how their motives are impugned by one of the papers of the city in whose behalf they are working. From the Chicago Post-1 Tho Doty or Consress. If Congress does not do something for the good of the country, members may calculate on hanging their harps on the willow trees. Their records during the war will not save them. Their reoords in the Deriod immediately following the war will not serve their purpose now. There is a time for laughing and a time for weeping. There is also a time for generalities and heroics, and a time for downright hard work and practicability. JSow is the time for downright hard work and practicability. The men who understand the situation well know that, though Congress has been in session nearly half a year, it has, as yet, done nothing of benefit to the country in those practical matters in which every merchant, every mechanic every laborer, every citizen of the republic of whatsoever calling, is interested, in that parlicular which ia of all thiDgs most potential in the shapiog of policies and the control of public affairs the pocket. It is not to be denied that the administration has, as a matter of fact, done much more for the country than Congress has done. It has inaugurated economy. It has saved much money for the people. It has demonstrated the most important truth that the government can be carried on for many millions less than it had been carried cn before this administration came into power. But Congress has been fritterinz away- its time. It has spent weeks oh the tariff question, and the tariff question remains in statu quo ante helium. Much time hits been consumed in the Funding Bill (a measure clearly forecast by the National Republican Convention of I8C3), and we are, apparently, n) nearer the funding of the national debt than we were when Lee

Rnrrendered to Grant, not a whit. !

The distribution of tho national currency, outrageously unjust to m the West, remains as it was. Pig-iron, salt and coal monopolies continue omnipotent. The land grabbers are not in back seats. In short, the Fortyfirst Congress has not yet done anything for the relief of the country against the ills which

now oppress traae ana commerce and retard progress and prosperity. Every section, every city, every really great interest, and the general good of the people at large, are injuriously affected by the prac tical operation of laws which, in war times, were not only well enough but wise and statesmanlike, but are cow unnecespary and unjust. A call for five hundred thousand men to put down the Piegans would not be more out of dace, more unwise, more un statesmanlike, than the financial de mands of war times are out of place, unwise, and unstatesmanlike in a time of peace. But Consress does nothing. Or to speak more exactly, it has yet done nothing. We can understand the dif ficulties of the situation. There have been other questions forced upon the attention ol our national legislators The Southern States have not been eentle as so rnanv sucking doves. Vir ginia. Georgia. Lousiana have given trouble, and require attention. So too have other States whilom of the Con federacy. The old Question has de manded attention. We acknowledge the fact, and make due allowance for it Nevertheless, the Forty-second Conirress is to be elected in the fall of this present year. It can not be elected on the Fifteenth Amendment, That is safe, thanks to the pluck and persistency of the Republican party. It can not be elected on the recon struction question, lhis is among the thin es of tho past. It can not be elected on the general "eathuse" plan. The people understand that the questions ot most moment now are questions of dollars and cents: that these, as the case stands, involve issues of natural right and of universal truth, ot the great est importance and the greatest inter est. They therefore demand practical statesmanship measures looking to the reduction of taxation, both direct and indireot, the extension of .the national system, and. other things wherebv the emoluments of officers may be reduced, and the interests of tha ceneral bodv politic enhanced. Now there are a large number of Republican Congressional Districts which the chanea of a very few votes would make Democratic. Every one of these cloee districts will go against us, if Congress not make a record of aood for the country, lhis reoora or cood tor the country must be: Re duction of taxation; improvement of the National Banking system, eo that all carts of the country shall nave eaual advantages: the beginning of the abolition of that commercial injustice whioh afflicts the people in the name of " Protection," but whioh is, in truth, robbery. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: Your time is well nigh out. You must, we do most solemnly assure you. improve what remains of it to better advantage than has been the case thus far, or many of von will be called uron by the suf frages of your constituents to fill that past which was regarded by Jefferson as the post ot nonor tne private station. We believe that the debris of the past being now removed, or nearly all removed, Congress will proceed to legislate tor the country in such way as the people will decide to be wise, politic, and beneficent. The sooner such legislation begins the better, both for the country and for members of Congress. A resolution to adjourn on the 10th of July having now passed both Houses, there must henceforth till the end of the session be more and better work than has yet been done, so that a large number of Representatives may not come to grief at the Fall elections. .Efficient work henceforth is necessary to preserve the heavy ascendency of " the Republican party in Congress. Warrick Republican Convention. Pursuant to a call a Convention was held by the Republicans of Warrick County, at the Court House, in Boonville, on Saturday, the 14th ult , to reorganize the County Central Committee and transact other important business. On motion, Dr. W. L. Barker was called to the chair, S. T. Palmer and I. S. Moore appointed Secretaries. In consideration of the fact that the District Convention, to be held at Princeton on the 16th of June, is to be a Mass Convention, the meeting passed a resolution appointing all Republicans of the County delegates. On motion of a committee of three, consisting of I. S. Moore, W. J. Keith and Armer Reed was appointed to re-organize the County Executive Committe, who reported as follows: Anderson Township Amos W. Davis. Boon W. L. Barker, Chairman; John A. Braokenridge, Secretary. Ohio W. J. Keith. Campbell Dr. Charles Parke. Greer W. J. Greer. Hart Daniel G. Thompson. Owen Armer Reed. Pigeon Dr. W. T. Hougland. Lane Dr. A. B. White. Skelton Captain John T. White. On motion a committee of three, consisting of G. L." Spencer, J. H. Masteri and J. R Davis, was appo:nted to draft suitable resolutions foi tho meeting, which committee reported as follows: Resolved, That we heartily endorse the platform of the State Convention held at Indianapolis on the 22d of February. 1870 Resolved, That we fully endorse the nominations for State offices by the Republican Convention of February 22 J, 1870. Resolved, That we endorse the present administration of the National and State Government. Resolved, That we cordially recommend Isaao S. Moore as a suitable candidate for Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. Resolved, That in the Newburgh Weekly Recorder we recognize a staunch, independent and fearless advocate of the principles of the Republican party, and that we recommend its circulation to every Republican of the county. Ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Newburgh Recorder, Evansville Journal, Boonville Enquirer, and all the Republican papers in this District. On motion, the meeting adjourned. A ratriT grower tells of the following novel method of getting rid of worms in trees: "He bored a downslanting hole nearly through the tree, filled it with powdered sulphur, and then plugged the hole. In a few days the worms rolled out of the tree en masse, making a feast for the birds and chickens. The sulphur impregnated the eap and made the worms sick. The trial was on a locust tree, but our friend intends to try it on fruit trees."

Painful Accident to an Un. fortunate Family. The family of Mr. James McKinney, who runs a packet wagon between here and Louisville, and resides on Market Street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, seems to be peculiarly unfortunate. Mr. JHciVinney moved to this place with his family some twenty years ago. Soon after that time he lost an eye by the glancing ol a cold chisel from under a sledge in the hands of a comrade while repairing the wheel of the 6teamer Califor nia, upon which t was then employed. borne four years ago his oldest son was crippled for life bv having a hand crushed under the wheels of a fire engine. About two years ago his oldest daughter lost an eve bv an arrow ao cidentally shot from a bow in the hands of a voupger brother. A lew months ago we chronicled the fact of another son's being run over and badly injured by a bread wagon on Upper Market Street: and now we are called to announce that another son. the vouneest of the fam ily. and who i3 about six years old lost all ot the fingers and a BOrtion ol the thumb of the left hand yesterday 1 1 . 1 . 1 . 1 wnne piaying wun a straw cutter, in whioh an elder brother was cutting feed for his horses. The wounded hand was immediate ly dressed by Dr. Buest, and at the last report the little sufferer was doing as well as was expected. 'New Albany Commercial. SPECIAL NOTICES. Consumption.
