We have received tKe first annual report of this road, a few exttacts from which we give below. Tho fact that tho Sandusky and Mad River road, now in rutjnin order, constitutes a considerable ponton of this road, and that the l'iqua . and HawiTillo rond sow under contract another portion, and that some thirty miles of the southern end of the road are also under contract and will be read for (be iron in a few months, gtv abundant assurance that the road will bo com p Ii ted as rapidly as prudence will allow. This road will go through or near Drookville, niese those who are interested turn the cold shoulder to it. 6omo stock has already been taten, much more should be taken as speedily is possible. Vs) have no doaire to magnify the importance of this road, but let any man take a map and trace tho line of tho road from New Orleans through JacCsoa Aberdeen, Louisville,. New Albany and Drookville to Sandusky, and be can but see that tt !s a far more la port ant road tn this Valley than tho Valley road erer could have been. New York and New Orleans are the points to which oar produce must go, and to go by way of Cincinnati wa so each out of the direct lino. This road must be finished and it must ba a good road. From the foregoing historical sketch, It will be seen that the entire route from the Lake- to the Falls should bo regarded aa one continuous, consolidated Una although managed at present by three independent companies. Since the last meeting of the stock holders, the lino between Piqua and Ilantsville, 31 tui!j. has been permv nently loeaud and plaoed ander eontract, to A. De Gr Jo de Co., on terms deemed farorabla to the interests of the company. Tho contractors receive 40 per cent in the Stock and Bonds of the company, and CO per Cent in cash. Considerable .progress baa been made in tha work, much of the heavy grading having been accomplished; a large quantity of ties delivered; and, tl prompt paymenti of the remaining installments of stock due can be realized, the first twenty miles of the Ilantsville can be prepared ready for the iron, by the first day cf June next. COMMZRCUL CHARACTER OF TAB IMROVKXEST. Under this head it is proper to consider this improvement, in its true l.'ht, not merely as a connected air line frtm the the head of Lake Kiie to the Falls of Ohio, but aa part and pared of a great Centrtd Trunk Woad, or Um of communication, between the NorA to iter n and tht extreme Southern and SouthretCern portions of tht Union. Extending from the extreme northern to the southern boundaries of the Republic in a couise of unparralled directness, and accommodating the social and commercial interests of our people, it may be confidently asserted that no other chain of road presents anything approaching such a character in magnitude and national importance. In this connection it should be also understood, that as one of the results of the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, a direct and extensive importation of goods through that channel from Europe has already been opened with the Northern Lakes, and that extensive arrangements are making for tbo exportation of grain and other American products direct from our Lake ports to Europe, on the utming cf Spring navigation. No doubt is entertained by those best informed, bat that this trade will become a permanent, as ii will affect an immense saving in the cost, as well as in the time of the transportation and exportation of the exchangtble commodities of the two continents. But, whether we regard our line as part of a direct channel of communication with Europe, or with oar own Northern Atlantic ports of commerce, uhere, opon the entire map of the Great Valley, can there be found an.a a . oincr line so direct, so central, so feasible, so evidently indicated by na tare, and so well calculated to answer the necessities of the immense trade and travel, which is destined through all futuru time to pass over it, as the one, for the construction of which wo are associated? Let him who doubts, take 1 an authentic map of the U. States: let him trace thereon a direct line from Buffalo through Lake Erie to Sandusky: thence in the same Pen erai direction, pursue the lino of tinMad River Road, DO miles to Huntsvile: thenco in a continued direct line, nark the route of the two new ltoads, through the cities of Piqua and Eaton in Ohio across the State Line, And thence through or near Brookville, Versailles. North Madison. South Iltnover. New Washington, Charles tea tsd Jedcrsonville to Louisville ai New Alban: Thence lot him rvn his eve clown the lino of the Lou bviÜa Rcsi to the city of Nashville; azJ licscaoa the aame extended line. ktLüa trace the roata of the "Now Oi l-xns, Jackson and Great Northern IUilroad." through tbe towns and cities of Franklin, Columbia,. Chicke tw. Aberdeen, llosciusco, Canton. Jci:n tad Gallatin, to the city of New Orleans; the whole forming one tt-brcbea, and practical air line of r.:"rcJ, from the Lake to the Queen C.t . cf the South . 000 ; miles in kr.Vand parsing iä its whole ,ex-t-vC"-''h "the very heart of -the i-VL. "-jn. "tne very Ci.a of the 7orld.,i Intersected ia

its transit by numerous tributary branches, leading to almost every portion of the Southern and Western States; and, wi'hout" taking Into account thf, boundless sources and objects of Railroad trade, which crowd the rich region through wbi:h it passed, he will at once acknowledge the wisdom of selection, as a great international thoroughfare between the North and the South, and unhesilatingly nssign it, the highest rank among the bust paying Roads in the United States. It is worthy of remark, that until recently the attention of Railroad men, has been directed most excluirely to the construction of Railroads running East and West, on nearly tho same parallels of latitude, at the cost of millions of dollars until tho number of lines has become so' lirgo that novhing but tho abandonment of .hose unfinished, can save the more unimportant from destruction; whila to thia day, thera is not a single line completed connecting the north and south thiough. tho great Valley of which we hovo spoken. Svorl routes, however, have lately been projected, and are now in process of construction. .Neither of these can be considered ia the slightest degree as a rival or competitor to either of the others. Tbo route by Cincinnati Lexington and Danville; and that

from Cleveland by Indianapolis, Evansville and Memphis to Mobile, bring each, as the map will show, cir cuitous in their direction, ana each occupying a line, which; measuring irom n ew Aioany, is cjui-uiawini. East and West, about ninety miles fom our crc it ccutral route, are too far apart ever to become injurious competitors with ouri, or with each other. Eachofthcso lines, occupies Us own appropriate section for its locat business entirely independent of the other, and with an amount oi trnfflc, it is believed, amply sufficient to sustain them. Thcso . two ronds, by the routes selected, are evidently projects not prompted br tho positive necessity of a direct Northern and Southern thoroughfare, but to secureand aggrandise existing Railroad in Uresis, by routes through Indianapolis on tkeone hand, and through tin cinnatl and Lexington on the othr: thus avoioding the falls on tho West as well as on tbe East. Who Favor Prohibition! As it is manifest now, from the growing popularity of our prohibitory aw, that old liners will claim it as an old line movement, we put the follow ng on record from the Cincinnati JSnfutrer. we ab all be glad, inüMd, II a sail I A old liners should corao to favor pro hibition, as all of them certainly will, except tbe few whoaie engaged in the traffic, and those who drink. Dut tho following will do to show, ten years hence, when liquor-selling will have as few advoeates as horse-stealing has now, how matters . stood in Ohio, in I OAS. Meanwhile, we ask our old ine friends, who have occasionally thought we wronged them, in charg ng them with being anil-prohibitory to read what the Enquirer sars: It is a singular fact that every Slate which has been carried br the fusion. iitt has adopted the Maine Law. For instance, in auuiuon to iumno iiseu where it most likely to be repudiated That has been the cry for yeurs, but it only gets stronger and stronger Air. inquirer. I u is in operation in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Indi ana, New York, Illinois, Michigan and rennsylvana. Ia Illinois, when it was submitted to the people, it was triumphantly voted down by the people, the Democracy going in a body against it, while it it received the support the abolitioniiU, Carennes ana Whigs. In rcnnsylvania, notwithstanding it was rejected by tbe people, it was Eataed ia spite ot them, by a Fution eirislature. In New York, New Hampshire and Connecticut, whiln the democracy had control, they refused to pass it; but tbe fanaticism that marks and charao terizes Futionitm has engrafted the Maine Law upon their statutes. In Ulno tue present prohibitory law was passed by a union of w biers and abolitionists, who all voted font save one, while the Democrats in the Legis lature were divided, but bad not the power to defeat it. Had the Whigs and Abolitionists been ' divided like the Democracy, it could not have passed. We will add, that while prohibito ry laws have been passed by a fution of the temperance men of all parlies, they have been opposed by a fusion of the anti-temperance men, without re irard to former party affinities. No more rabid whig than Dr. Gifioi John'Armttrong and the Walkers ever lived, yetthey fused with liquor loving Democrats, to oppose the law that spoils their liquor traffic. Monroe County, Iowa. Sometime ago, wo were on the point of advising those who contemplated seeking a home in Iowa, to not think of going to Monroe County, as we had our fears that, with all its advantages, it had not self respect enough to rally around ard support its home "Presi." But the lively tone and business-like appearance of the "Prttt," of late, give us ground to change our opinion. The Frees ia not as large or as handsome as the American, but it ii a good paper and we aro sufficiently acquaint ed with the industry and enterprise of its publuher to know that he will "en large and beautify" it as circumstan ccs will justify. Our friends may cx pect good society in Monroe county. and wo predict for Mr. Barnes, a good list of good subftcribcrs. as soon as the worth of his paper is known. New Books in Press. .

' TheEushville Jacks :nian. We renew our conmendation of this ably edited sheet. Any unadulterated old liner, who wants to feed on the truo unadulterated doctrinesof old linoiura, should take the Jacksoninn. John L. Lobinson u confessedly tl.e most talented editor belonging to that party in Indiana, and hojis morally, socially, and habitually a living exponent of its doctrines. His sheet is not, intrinsically, any dirtier than several we could mention, but bis out-spoken way of telling wha. ho thinks, gives !t a dirtier appearance. John I .doer not hate preachers and churches any more than most of tho leaders of that

party, but he makes no attempt to conceal his hatted. The principles for which old lineism contends, being at war with virtue and moralty and Christianity, he makes a bold atUck upon the moral and religious portion of ihe community whenever he can. promote his political interests by it. Instead of thinking less of John L. and bis pa per for this, we prize both more highly. Welovotoseo a man dUplay his colors. If the issues aro such as to airay on tho ono side all lovers of whisky and haters of virfuo tat it be known. If the purposes of old lineism can not be promoted without trampling down tho best of men Jet it try its hand. We were led'totheae remarks by the terrible (be thinks) onslaught lately made on tho Quarterly conference of Rushville station for proposing and passing resolutions endorsing the min isterial character of Rev. W. W. Hibben. It was a great piece of presumption for such men as tho Citrrs and Chaso and Patlison and Sherman and Stone to exprcs their confidence in their pastor after the Jacktonian had been bespattering him for nlno months. We hope that John L. will pitch Into such men without mercy. It requires a little more oftbat kind of talk, to ar ray tho wholo body of christians against thoso who would ride jnto power or retain power by trampling down all religion and virtue. This ia old lineism, and those who want it in its purity, should take the Jacksoninn, remembering that John L. is endorsed by the president, as an exponent of the doctrines of the party. . . a. "The Escaped Kan." De Witt and Davenport, the New York Publishers, have just issued a book bearing the above title. Miss Catherine Dunkley's eseapo front the Josephine Convent at KummeUburg. Md., created at the time of its occurrrnco a great deal of interest, and the publiohave been looking for her Disclosures with considerable anxiety. The archbishops, priests, superiors and nuns figure extensively in it. The book will be read with intense interest, at this time, when publio attention is called to the arrogcto demands of Romanism in this country, and particularly since such efforts are being made to induce protestant parents to educate their children at these nunneries. Somo of the scenes are almost too horrible to be believed, but there Is no question that such things even worso things have occurred. We regard the solicitude of Priest, to educate our daughters, while thy make no piovisions foi our sons, and none, in Catholio countries, for either sons or daughters, as one of the most suspicious schemes of that dark and plotting hierarchy. ' . , The book will probably be on sale in a few dayb at Dr. Ketley's. Ledrand B. Cushxnan. We see from our exchanges, that this man is again out, giving concerts, iio. The press will confer a favor on those whom he might otherwise victimize, by informing thera that if he is not in the habit of leaving without paying hit printer's bills, he did so at least here. He yet owes us for job work done, early last spring, notwithstanding the Richmond Paladium un dertook to bolster him up, after our first expose of him. When he pays what he owes us, our opinion of his honesty may be changed.. We shall not soon forget him, as we have his not for 913. Bank of the Ohio Valley. Speaking of this "institution" the Sentinel oi tho 4th says: "We must be permitted to say that we have rQ confidence whatever in the "Bank of the Ohio Valley." It has laid out for itself a field of operations rather too extensive for an establishment of its reputed capital. It proposes a branch at Rushville one in this city, one at Greensburgh, one at Evansville, and hers for ought we know. We, there fore, pronounce it a "Kite," with too much tail for healthy ballast. The plan of depositing $5,000 in bonds with the Auditor, getting bills for that amount, and with thoso, bills buying 95,000 more and thus running up a ciiculation of one or two hundred thousand, is not a safe way of bank ing for the publio, and we shall take the earliest possible opportunity of ex posing all such swindling concerns. We do not say that this is the course the Bank of the Ohio Valley propos es pursuing. But if it docs attempt the like, we will let the people hear o it." Basket Mcctixo. Tlu brother hood of Blooming Grove have decided to convert their nQxt quarterly meeting into a Basket Meeting. It will be held ia the grove adjoining town during the daytime, and. in the church, perhaps, at night Will begin on Saturday the 14th of August.

Chase a Know Nothing After All. Notwithstanding the tenderest sympathies of the Enquirer were aroused in behalf of the poor neglected, ignored Know Nothings of Ohio, so much that he labored faithfully with the Timet togetup aKnow Nothing indignation meeting on Fifih street, at which no Know Nothing of sufficiect influence to make a speech attended, it turns iut at last that Chase

is too much of a Know Nothing to suit the Enquirer, In his paper last week tho ed. tor exhorts all who want foreigners disfranchised to vote "fur Chase. That is consistent, and it shows clearly that the only love he has for the K. N. movement was to divido them, if .possible. Thai dog won't bite, Mr. Enquirer. August Klections Elections were icld In Iowa,. Kentucky, Missouri, Tt'Xfit Alabama, sind , Arkansas last Mondny. We lihve not received suf ficient intelligence from any of them to know what is the result. So far ns tho Southern States are concerned, it matters little which party succeeds. We confess th st we expect the old old line fusionist to carry the day, as they have been quite successful in showing that the American party is opposed to their cherished 'institution in the north, and thero is no longer Mg or Democrat ' in the South.There is a perfect fusion in defence of slavery as there is coming to be, in tho north in defence of freedom. From Iowa wo expect to bear a dif ferent report. We expect to hear that there, ns in all tho frco Stater, since tho nale of the north to , tht south, tho pcoplo havo - repudiated their wculd-bo masters, and spoken in favor of freedom. w - ... Sao CAst'AUTr. We ' havo been placed in the poHt-ession of the particulars of an accident which occurred n the vicinity of Blooming Grove, on Inst Monday, which resulted fatally. Mr. Thomas Swift was hauling buy, and was astUtod by Charles Pippin, who remained on the bad. In cross ing some irregular ground, Mr. Pip pin lost his balanco and was predated to the earth, striking upon his head, and it is supposod, dislocating his neck, as he expired almost instantly, Mr. 1. was from Maryland, and had no relatives in tho wot." This is, wo belive, tbe third death that boa resulted from accidents within a few years, on tho farm now owned by Mr. Swift. ' ' jCITNow, quote the "authority of law," lor roanuuciuring lor exporta tion. (Jive us the law givo us the section quote the word, that allows the manuiacture oi liquors tor exportation.

If you havo not tho American of that date, we will send you a copy, or you may find the same sections in tho new laws, begin ning on the 209th page and ending on the 223d. If you can't read, we will come out, and read and explain to your entire satisfaction. But we ver ily believe you. can read, indeed wo do, and you ought to bo able to tell your readers how they would help it if your fusion friend and fellow labor er, Col. Posey, should start od with a load ol his whisky. Will .you "give us the law give us tho suction quote the words" that will authoriso any body to molest him" or his whisky? Como, neighbor, don't get excited These are dog days. Keep cool as you can,' with tho thermometer at 05, and rising, but do put somebody on the track of" Col. Posey. If your temperance men are afraid of him, tee aro not. If you will only tell us how to stop his exporting we will see to having it done.

Indeed the thief is altogether the , better man. He only wrongs us out of our proper ty while tho swindler does that, while he also wrongs us by violating our con fidence. Wc can much mote repcct tho thief than him who takes advantage of our ignorance and our confidence and swindles us out of even a smal amount. Yet tbe thief is a felon the swindler a shrewd man according to loo usages or society. i m i 3rWe are glad to bear, from all quarters, expressions of interest in bohalf of our young and promising inslilU' tion of learning. By tho combined ef foils of the friends of liberal education in this valley, this school will become an honor to its founders and a blessing to the world. It can nccomoduto a larger number of pupils than hereto fore, and the board of instruction wil bo increased as the wants of the schoo demand. The proposition of the teach ers to take young ladies to board, and the facilities for "baching" offered to young men will iucrcaso the number of students greatly.

Stka(ix. Wo conversed, a few days ago, with a tolerably intelligent citixen who still thinks tho object in repealing the Missouri Compromise line was to give settlers tho opportu nity to govern themselves, Who Has Out tu Haw Kcvkh? Mr. R. II. Swift, of dooming Grove, has been devoting a portion of his time, the present season, to the rearng of of C no , blood Shanghai .and Brahma folks, some choice specimens of which he now offers for sale. Try him. w rOur millers are offering a dol lar for wheat. Farmers want more. Flour is 67 in Cincinnati and dullsalo at that. There is none in Drookville at any price. Oats were 60 cents last s a Monday in the city wheat 91,10, corn 75 cents. Süodr! Dcatii One of our most promising citizens must have died last week, very suddenly. We saw him the first of the week, full of hope and full of promise, but he is gone at least wo Infer so, from the fact that he promised us some money last week, if he lived, and the . money did not como. Con-Pusiox Politics .It looks slrango to seo the Cincinnati iurtf and the Times on the sarao side of pol itics, but so it happens. Six months ago, the Commercial was with the En quircr, but now it has changed place with the Timet and now pitches in, but without much point. A Sign or Pnosnaur. Tho Louis ville papers are boasting of the impor tant fact that most of the blackberries that are used at Cincinnati, Madison kc, come from Kentucky. We ex pect to find an argument in favor of slavery in Kansas, based on tins fact. Introduce slavery there, and that ter ritory will soon become, like Kentucky, ono great blackberry patch. Riot ix Louisville. A bloody riot took placo at Louisville, last Monday. Report says some fifteen or more were killed. We are not in possession of al the facts. Of course the anti-Amcri can papers will charge the bloodshed on the Americans. It was of course, a defense of the blood-bought privile ges of the Irish and Dutch, to .fire from the windows and kill Americana. It was thus the liot began. - JCiTlt has been decided in one o tho Courts at Buffalo, that the law does not authorize the apprehension of a man for being intoxicated' in his own house We Dresumo tho same is true in Indiana, hence the law al lows men to get privately drunk, but that is different from being glori ously drunk, for there is nu glory in being drunk unless a fellow can show himself. Fairly BaATx. Mrs. Wesley Mof. Ctt has pent us a specimen - of beets that beat the beater. We did not measure them, but they were immense and ahead of any we have yetceen. Later. A specimen of the beets raised by Mrs. F. 0. Baker, knocks the above all into pi. They are larger round, but shorter, and we havo no way of settling the matter but by weighing or tasting them. We shal tastt them. ' : ' JtirKansaa is likely to make rapid progress townrds liberalizing the crim inal law. A bill has been recommen ded by the Council, providing that enticing a slave from his master shal be grand larcency, and punished by death. If grand larcency is thus ptjt on a par with murder, what will be done for burglary? If all kinds o grand larcency were punishable by death, tho mob of rufjQaas from Mis souri who invaded Kansas at the elec tion, would probably be considerably thinned out. . ,

Preachers ard Politics. Old Liners finding it an uphill busi

ness to overcome the influence of the religious portion of the community in their efforts to deify ulavcry, and legal ize liquor-selling, and encourage Ro manism, havo adopted as nn article of their creed that preachers should not meddle in politics. Drunkards, gam bler, slave holders and catholics may, bu Protestant preachers must not. They may vote, and that is all. In connexion with this, it is a remarkable act that while it was estimated that a majority of the Methodist preachers in Indiana, were Democrats, in 1 85, there are now but four od liners in the state, and three of thcso are oflico hol ders, and the fourth asked to be reelcctvd to the fattest office in the state, but tho' people applied old lino doctrine, to him, nnd intimated that, in to ad of -'meddling in politics" ho had permission to retire to the quiet of his delightful Itosalower. Negro Stealing. As a specimen of the arguments of old line papers, we copy the following from the Mutinsvillo Monitor. It w in keeping with most of the abuse now heaped upon ministers of all denomiubecause they do not abandon tho plain and obvious teachings of the bible to pander to the demands of slavery. Rev. Mr. Brownlee is known about Connersville, having been pastor of one of the Presbyterian churches there. lie preached a few wees ngo In Martinsville on tho duty of doing good, and chose to illustrate the command of Christ to feed the least of bis decides, and thus feed him. by administering to the wants of a fellow Christian, whoso skin might be darker than is faihionabio. " Thereupon' the Monitor gives the following notice: Tho IU v. Mr. Brownloo preached a sermon nt the Presbyterian Church on Sunday last, In which . he delivered uimaelf the following tainted and comttilutional tit-bit. In enumerating the good dueds which would beset down to a man a credit on the day of judgement, he mentioned tho act of umn" a Slave, who was escaping from his masler, bTty cents, and pointing the the road to the polar star, as ono in particular. . In other words, the ltev. gentleman recommended negro-tteat-ing as a prireiple f saving grace. He ought to preach About twice down South. Let the abolition preacher bo a a a passed round and remembered. Fellow Citizen, that it old lineism. A minister dare not enforce the duties of Chilstlanity without being held up tojieorn, and charged with negro-stealing. We repeat it, let imcA abolitionist bo passed round. William Camady. It is due to our young friend to say, that ho has not only paid arrearages but for some limu to come. It i. farther due to lay thai ho supposed that his paper had been discontinued about the time he left Pctersburgh. We have no disposition to do injuslio to any one, but as it isimpossiblo for us to know when and where our subscribers move, thty should be1 careful to give us in formation on the subject, and not al low us tosend the paper year 'after they are gone. Hating the little bit of ill temper the young man has manifested he has acquitted himself honorably. We wish him much success in his new home. Caught. Three men, a father and 2sons, nam ed Young, living in New Lawrenceburgh, were taken up last' Saturday for stealing tho horso of Jas. Gould of Whitewater township, and put in the Lawrenceburgh jail to wait their final trial at the next term of the Dearborn circuit court. They had sold the horse In Lawrenceburgh, and are of course amenable to that court. WishVvery body who steal in this county would go to Dearborn and get caught 3TWe learn that thero is a proba bility of a discussion on the merits of the prohibitory law at Evert on, soon, by T. D. Adams, EUq., and J. :I. Ray, Esq. The friends of the respective sides may safely trust their cause in the hands of these gentlemen. Hy the way we love to see the friends and opponents of this - measure, meeting and canvasing the subject.If, in this Republican government, tho people would meet moro frequeutly in their primary capacity, and freely and fully canvas the questions at issue, it would bo more profitable, than the course pursued by too many, to just wait till the office holders decide on thejmerits of a question and then gulp down, for the sake of their party masters, the most poisonous and ruinous doctrines. jttTHecause Col. Posey found it not profitable to boil up torn when it was 70 cents a bushel, and because he wanted to upair his distillery, he shut up shop, about the 12lh of June.'in pretended respect for the tyranical law, but he is preparing to "go it stiong" as soon as the new crop is gathered. He knows that the law does not forbid exportation. His confident, John L. knows it too, but they want to have something to growl about. Hears with soro heads will growl. In the beautiful language of tho poet we say "Let ba rased I tons growl and tight Foe Uiajr will doll any how . . HThe political course of the Governor has had nothing to do with hi removal. .Such will undoubtedly prove tho true solution of the problem. Sentinel. . We wondered how you would back out of the Administration's backing Qov. Reeder. You do it adroitly. Had you seen the Enquirer when you wrote that apology?

Dutyjof County Commissioners Under tho Temperance Law. It is understood that many Honrds of County Commissioners havo failed or refined to appoint Agents to sell liquor undfr me p relent Temperance Law, J ho question Is, whether they are bound to make these appoint ruontB. tSection Ö says "they mag appoint some suitable person or pel son us A gent or Agenia, &c. Do Ihe words ''may appoint" leave it discretionary with lhi Commission ers? They do not. They are just as obligatory as the word "shall appoint. would bo. And tho Commissioners aru guilty of violation of their duty who fail or refuse to arnoint. So the following authorities; Houv. Law Die, vol. 2. p. 163, titlo "May;" Garth., 2D3; Salk.. CUD; Skin., 370. Whenever a statute directs the doing of a thing for the sake of justice or the public good, the word may is tl samens man.,- j-or example, me 23d llenry.fi, soys, "tho Sheriff may tako b iil; that is construed ho shall for ho is compellable to do so." bee also Uilman, TJ. Die word may in a statiuo means -musi" or "shall," in cases where the public in terest or rights nie concerned; and when the public or third persons have a claim de jure, that the right thould be i'xercised. See also 0 How. U. S., 351. When a statute enacts thatfa publio function ary may act in a certain way which is beneficial to third persons, ho must act in that way. If tho Commissioners in any county from opposition to the law, from any carelcMics, or from any cause, have f died to make the appointments re quired of them, they can be coropell ed to make them by mandate from tho proper Court upon the application of any citizeus of the county. This matter hould be looked to in the counties whero no appointments have been made, since this very Ihinj is made a handle of in those countie to break down the law, and defeat the cause of temperance. Every coun tv should have at least one agent. not voluntarily, by mandate of Court Kro tliatii'llaoa Journal. Scarcity of Currency. Eastern Fraudulent Banks, &c. Never before, in the West, has there been so much produce to go forward this fall, and it will require a large amount of currency to send it to market. From whence is this currency to come? It must be fnrnished by our own or by Eastern banks. The abuse of the Stock Siecurity Banking System uf our State lasi year, brought it into temporary disrepute, and although a number of these Hanks have always promptly rcdccncd their notes in cuiu or Exchange, at tho option of thoso presenting them, they do not yet have the credit they deserve, for we assert, as an undeniable fact, that in no other system of Hanking is there so great a security to the billholder as exists in tho present Free Hanking system of Indiana. The experience of last year is in direct proof, for although two-thirds of tho Hanks wer established by non-residents merely fur circulation, the loss sustained by the people was not so great as frequently occurs by the failure of a single Hank whoMi issue rc uot secured. Whenever there is a demand for currency in tho West, the fraudulent portion of the Wall Street Hrokers get themselves at work to supply it, and and the mode usually is as follows: A Rank charier in some New England Slate, or it may be Maryland er Pennsylvania, is procured, and a large amount of notes immediately issued. These notes are loaned out to person desiring to come West to purhense firoduce, or to Western Brokers at a ow rate of interest, upon agreement

to protect the circulation for a short'

lime. hen nu amount is thus put in circulation nutlicicnt to make a "burst up' n paying operation,, the B.tnk fails and the people of the West are the losers. Is this not so? iwmember the Kent County Bank, and the dozens cf others within the few years past. This course should not be encourag d. Tho press, our business men, county treasurers, and our Banks, hould unite in a common t-ffoit to put down this mode of (.eirauding the People out of their hard earnings. Our own iSiate liahk and the Free Banks which ttutlaircd themselves du ring ihe last year, and are yet doin so,' ought to furnuh a sufficient amount Of currency to trarsnct tho business, and they can -do tl if properly vnstxtned by our citizens. As one means oidong so, let no cuun! n inco to that pet ty system, lon practiced by thu IJrokers, of nisoriiu;' p iper merely to an noy the Hanks nnd rn-atc distrust as to their ability to m?l theiren rsgernentn. Strange as it may win, this system is hUiUined by the deponiies of the buainesi men the very persons mot affec ted by it operation. Why is it that our people are induced torecievc tho notes o. tho Hanks of other States, of whose solvency they know nothing? They ur not, as ours are, sec. trod by State Honda to nn amount greater than iheir circulation, nnd, indeed, their only security is the honesty of ihono who iu the notes and who hopes to tiud honesty in that clasn of Wall Si reel Hrokers who are the getters up of these Hanks, exhibit credulity truly astonishing in tuis great The circulation of Ihe State and Tree H inks can bo and ought to be increas ed in a ratio to meet the demand for currency with which todothe business of our State, and we luqo thoso who control them will do so. So fat' as the Free Hanks are concerned, the means of doing this is greater than last year and cannot ho ntendrd with the me results. Litityeur the balance of trade was largely against the ct and, as a conseuueno cxchitngu ruled ethih inles. It will bte different now, und th Honda on which the increased cir culation is based, can b paid for by tin produce of tho country. lleuaidinj; this mailer of irreal im portance to tho in'oplo of our State so shall frequently refer to it in the hope of guarding them against iho los-s which ihey ar bound to lnnir, H-ouId Iheu warnings bo disregarded.

(Ed.) apaaja -aaBaaia Judge G ant the Commissionership. Fairkicld TowMour, Aug. 4, Ma. Editor: Thou'1 you are not of ths same way of tin. -.iug as Judge Gant, I rely upon your candor and fair dealing to be permitted to say a few words in regard to him. He is well known in this county as a faithful public servant, and needs no introduction. Iam one of the people who do not believe in the doctrine that a few m n may get together and tell us who to vote for and that wo thall not say a word. To most of tho people of this county, Mr. Calfeeis quite a stranger, and in this part of tho county we arc surprised that Mr. Quick was not renominated, but we understand thai it was thought be could not carry the Court House nnd all its extra allowances, Attorney's fees, dec. Be that as it may, Mr. Quick made a' good

Commmioncr. Hut seme of tskr.ow Mr. Cfte, and you will allow me to eay that a gnat many of us tcratched our tickets luvt year because we will not vote for men who use intoxicating liquors to excess. I do not think Mr. Calfee is as great a drunkard as some, but that be is a very free dtirlcr is certain. Judge Gant is not a temperance man according to your tnr.dsrd, nnd you and some of your (imp rancc fiiends may notbc willing to vote for him because he does rot go the whole hog on that question, but he is a fciixa man beyond ratal, and he is just the kind ol a man in finances that is needed nt this crisis in our eHVirs. WLile he is liberal and just, he is known to be economical and prudent. The people of this county are mistaken if ihey suppose that thtir taxes arc done with when the Court House is fiuitlud nnd paid for. ' Hut, Mr. Editor, some cf us will cot dare vote forjudge Unt. Iii course when a Judge in an allowance to cue

who h;Tts to rule u. rentier Liu un popular with some of our treasury caters. He can f-illy explain that if called upon. If he will consent to run, he enn easily be elected. Ho is a highminded and honorable mt n, and ihe people of this county hwve too ofien txprtssed their confidence in him to be driven from him by the frowns of demagogues. ; . r Hut I am only writing to suggest him as a suitable person for County Commissioner, if ho will only consent to run, Independent of all ' J'artles. As you aaid in reference to Jods-o Johnson, what has jxirty to do with County CommisMoncr? We are gettia r tired, in the country, of bavin to do just ns the convention tells u. ' I am ure that if the-two men were tunning on their own merits, Judge Oant wonld gi t three votes to Mr. CalhVa one, for it is not trui that the Democratic parly will vole for no man whose breath docs not smell like a tili tub. It lnscomo that the man who wants our voles, hwuld ,how. at least home respect for temjtrance, and not drink whiakey every lime he goes lolown. 1 may write you more n this subject before the tier tion, if I kam that Judge Gint consents to run, in obedience to the wishes of the people.
