The elections of the 4th and 5th Dia Iricf a of Indiana for the last sixteen years preset t a study interesting and profitable, and one that should be caicfully consider' ei by all who believe the success of the Re. publican farty to be of paramount . importance.

The statistics presented below have been carefully compiled from tho oüiplal returns, and can bo relied on as bflUag entirely correct.

Farquhar. ' . , The April Election. . . .. We fear that our friends do ' not place sutScient importance on the result of the

April electios. In somo of the Townships there is a supmeness, an apathy and indifference which is deplorable. In Spring field the llcpublicans have a'good working majority, and might readily obtain and retain control of the Township, jet they persistently allow the Democracy to 'steal a march" upon tbera and overwhelm them with an inglorious defeat. The Republicans of Posey are beginning to manifest a like disposition, and it behooves them to be up, and doing, otherwise the shackles of Coppdrheadisn. will Boon bo firmly riv eted on them. - Work, work, work, is what id needed; victory will not coano of Itself; 'success will not Ic obtained without an Hort; and a vigilant foe will not be defeated without corresponding vigilance on onr part. ' The purity of, tie ballotbox, to a gre&t extent, as well as a propcr administration of tbo local affaire of the Townships, depend on the election of f-M'y fulst and colupcteriTrustCpa. An Important election i pending, and do means should bo left untried to , tecure the true verdict of the people. Theo let oor friends in the several Townships select a ticket composed of their best and most popular men, and adopt all honorable means to iccurc its election. - Plum Grovk House, Rrookville Tp., March 14,1808. The Democracy "met for the purposo of orgnniiing ä Club, to be known as tho Whito Man's Club. John S.Martin was called to tho chair pro tern., and after or pnnizinjr, the following gentlemen were elected permanent officers: President Johnson Snoddy. ViccPrcidcnt John Wilson. Secretary t. J.

Kight different persons were more or less injured. The negroes allcgo that they wcro whipped for renting land. You may sell them as vagranti! Two negro girls were sold at Lebanon, Ky., at public auction, as vagrants. You may shoot him! Nine men, about three weeks sgo, surrounded tho house of Johnson Youug (colored), in -Washington couutv, broko down tho door, shot Jubnaon oung in the orm, and ahot bia wife through the shoulder. His wifo is now at tho point of death, because of this wound. On SuturJay night) March 14th, a negro man, while peaceably walking the street of Lebanon, was deliberately shot dead by one Goorge Northcralt iu tho presence of two other colored men. On Sunday. morulog, March 15th, inst., nJKentutky Corouer, Maurice Doody, hell an iuqucst over tho body of this dead negro, and ruled that negro evidencecould not be admitted. The jury returned a verdict that deceased Was killed by "an unknown peraon or persons," although two negroei were ready to awear positively, as to the murderer. I could adduce other vident-e if necessary unkr hie head, 1

You may insult the negro's wife! " Two weeks ago, Hardin Rrady, a young chivalry, grossly insulted tbe wife af Allen Drake, colored, in Lebanon. Allen applied to one Police Judge for a warrant, and was refused one. You may burn, a "Digger's bouse!" A party of men in Washington county set fire to tho house of Johnson Young, colored, and burnt it, with all of his effects, to ashes. They even threw bia chickens and turksys in the fire. ' This was about three weeks ago. Lewis O'Daniel's bouie In Marion county, was burnt a few weeks ao by three enterprising disciples of Kentucky chivalry. 1 .','.. .... . You may burn his churches and echool houses. The church in Grcensburg, Kentucky, which is used for a colored school house, wss partly covered, with oil a few days since, ond the oil set on fire.

He was unable to speak sfter the act. Lieut. Philip Sichert of the Hammond Street Station House, and Mr. Myer Landowcrwcre in the store at tho tiiuo. A hack waa dispatched to his residence, on Jdpunt Auburn, opposite Hopkins Park, "for hia wife, but she happened to bo in the city, and was soon present at his sido. ' His niece was brought there from school soon after the occurrence. These, with Doctors Dodge and Wayne, who were sent for as aoon as tho affair took place, remained with him until the time of his desthat 1 o'clock. Only his family and immediate friends wero permitted to enter tho room. Ofliccrs stood at Ihe door and guarded against intrusion. Mr. Dennett kept a hat store at No. 79 Fourth street, U. F.

In both of tbeso Coan filled beforo the Court, the decision of which was that tho contract botwcenCoan and Bennett was n ('nan claimed, and that the latter might iuo for damages for breach of contract. On the morning of tho fatal occurrcnco ho had a cast decided against him in Court, and was reprimanded by Judge Storcrfor addressing lam the following letter in reference to the cose: I Cincinnati, March 10.

His remains wero placed in the charge of his friends after the inquest. It is tumored at Washington, that A. Johnson will resign so soon aa he becomes satisfied thcro is no hope of escape from impeachment. t in "Honest Old Ben Wade." in Honest old Den Wade" we will have a man in whom tbe entire country has the fullest confidence a man whoso character ia abovo reproach, whose integrity has never been questioned, even by his bitterest political opponents, and whoso fidelity to tho great principles of tho Republican party id as firm snd immovable as tho foun dations of tbo (Jovrntuont itself. With such a man ia tbe chair, tbe country will soon be at peace, and law and order will once moro reign throughout the land, the Government be respected by the civilised world, rebels will bo given to understand very early after Mr. Wade bocomel'resi dent that wo have a Uovcrnmenf, tbat the acts of Congress are the laws of the land, and that their obedjence will Iro enforced,

Wade will be po great that all good citizens, who prefer law and order to confusion, loyalty to treason, and prosperity to anarch v, will have cause to bo profondly grateful to the Congress of the United States for so great a benefaction. Journal. LETTER FROM RIPLEY COUNTY. Versailles, Ind., March 17, 1SC3. KJ. American: Sojourning a few days in this high and healthy locality, I thought it might not be amiss to drop "you a few lines from this, the scat of justice of "Old Ripley.", Versailles is a good town, for msny things good for as clever a set of County officers as can bo found anywhere, good for $harjp young lawyers; who stick like leeches to their clients, especially their pockets good for churches, schoolhouses, hotel; and good for most any thing that goes .to make a first class inland County scat of someone thousand iohab itants. I would not omit, to make mention of the new Court House. This structure docs great credit to the people of Rip ley. It is large and commodious all the County offices on the first floor. The large and magnificent Court room and all the jury rooms occupy the second floor. It ia of modern style ,of architecture, the Court room neatly frescoed, the offices all Isrgo and commodious. This edifice cost tho people of Ripley between twenty and twenty five thousand dollars. Common Picas Court ia now in session here Judge Cullen, of Ruhh, presiding.

The people of this Common Pleas District are certainly fortunate in their selection of a Judge. Judge Gullen, while representing the County of Kubh in-the Stute Senate, distinguished himself as au eloquent and cogent , debater, and soon became a leader in that body, Dut on tho bench he has become more distinguished as an able an impartial Judge. Quick of apprehension, hi tu, yet courteous in all of hU decinion, he seems . to possess in an eminent dcurce tho faculty of making himself peifcctly understood by both attürneva und iurorn in a ftw wnrd Wlin be decider: a law point, all ecra rerlcctlv satisfied that he i. correct; and thus hia . . dcciMoos, whether correct or not, are gm crally accepted os tbo law, and all teem satis-lied. Judge Cullen is yet quito a young man, and if ho eschews politics and furAUca tho even tenor of his way aa a awyer and a Judge, we predict for him, at no distant day, an eminence as a . juiit that will be coveted by much, older uiriubersof the profession than br. . The lawyers at tbia bar are principally younj: men, aud all seem to have plenty of business. Fid. Ferris, in my judgment, is a No. 1 lawyer. Jonen, Vilon, and others with whom the writer is not perSOnallv aCdUaintcd. do credit to the ITO - . ' ' Icscion. The docket of this Court is very heavy. I was informed that (hero are tome threo hundred liquor racs for trial at thw.letm. They are otter the liquor sellers with something worse than sharp sticks. TURNPIKE. Tho citixens bote arc trying to get up a company to build a pike between hero and u.wt mt, ilia u. teM: Hatituau. vv n e n this is done, Versuillo may rest easy on the County.seat question. If it is not done, 1 would hat to take a risk on its remaining at this post many years. Osgood has ''heavy" f roteosions in that direction. COL. FABQUUAIt. This gc'itlcmsn has very many warm fiieuds iu thi pluoe, who would like very much to see him nominated and elected from your District. Tbo Col. wss always popular with the llrpublicans of this Count r, as in fact with tbo cnliro old Fourth District. The writer of tbia joius in the wish abovo expressed. '! ' Yours, QflLl. LETTEn FROM HARRISON. llAUUtaoN, O., .March 121), Dear ,lenVi, I havo been somewhat diverted at the puerile tflorts of the Harrison letter writers to appear witty and sarcastic, and with tho nertinacitv Li..ri..t.iirt ne .,. v.. ,1. . ...

JuJginguy their pro duction, tho conclusion is forced upon any sensible man, that tho intellectual stamina of tho writers, "Derry Montrose, Hill Friendly" and 'Jane lhtstcrly" arevery imbecilo indeed. Tbe two former of those writers seem to luvo a mutual an. tipathy,and according to tbe style of such bloods, they havo stripped and entered tho ring, a la McCuolo, each intent upon compelling the other to throw up the sponge. In the first place, they differ about the Churcher; and although they both make assertions of good will toward them all, yet 1 itungine that they aro atrangcrs to tho dmtrimt taught in our orthodox Churehea. 1 think it -more ' likely you would see "1'erry" and Dill" laying about the depot or somo saloon door, on Sunday, than in any of tho Churches. Tcirv" laments, iu doleful mcakuie, the low graue of the Harrison fc'choo's. Upon that subject I shall not rasa my opin ion, except to state that the present in cumbent, Mr. Dowdcll, ia an experienced and successful teacher, and was selected by the Doard on account of his moral and religious, as woll aa his literary qualifications. . I think that if 'Bill Friendly" waa the favored recipieut of the tenth part of tbe wisdom imputed to tho seventh son ofa seventh son, he would "see himself as others see him," and tho mortifying fact would dawn upon his mental vision, that his articles wero very toft.

of Ihe Mnsie, Ihe Kssys and the Address es, the 'Cnlire performance waa a farce. Tbe selection showed either extreme ignorance and perverted taste, or a flagrant and total disregard of all moral or roligious effect. : ' Perry" also eulogizee, in glowing terms, tbe tableaux of tbe LoneStar. Rase-Uall Club, and 'the Gipsy's Warning." The former of these he eaya brought down the bouse. It truly Jul Iring down the houte. For before presentation, the audience were high in expectation of a literary feast; but after rAose tallmvr, how their expectations sankl Hereafter I will have great f-tith in the effect of tableaux. , It was really amusing to see - the apish actions and grimaces during tho play, of a couple of young gentlemen who were acting tbo parts of forsaken husbsnds, in the playa . termed . "The . Clockmaker a Hat" and "The Kiss in the Dark." Were tbe players debarred the use of speech, 'and obliged to acf to the eyes only of the andiente, Ibis mimicry might be a necessary conveyanco of their meaning; but when thev are at liberty to ignify tbeir ideas by language, nothing can be more trivial, forced, unnatural and antic, than this superfluous mummery. Not thst I would exclude from tbe representation the graces of action, without which the choicest sen timents clothed iu the most exquisite expression would appear unanimated and insipid, but tbeso are as different from their ridiculous burlevque as is the demeanor of of ä Tully iu the rostrum, from tho tricks ofa jack-pudding on a tuounte bank'a stage; and for the truth of what I allege, I. appeal to the observation of any pcrsou who has considered the elegance of attitndo and propriety of gesture, as they are universally acknowledged io the real characters of lifo. 1 noticed an article in your paper of March 13, from Ihe pen of"JaneKatcrly"
