Suicide from Dissipation. , . A apecial dirpatch from Hamilton, Ohio, has already informed us of the auictde of Mr. Jacob Boy, a sloe manufacturer of that city. t The Hamilton Telegraph saya that hia death waa occasioned by an overdose of laudanum, taken while he waa Buffering from the effects of a protracted debauch. It adds: An inquest wis held over the remains by the Coroner, and, in accordance with the' testimony elecited, a verdict of suicide, by taking laudanum, rendered. The deceased was born of I ruh parents, and rsised In a German family, that of Mr. Hottinper, and by him brought up to the trade ofa aboemaker. Some thirteen years aince, he establUhed a shoe shop of his own, and, by bia akill and industry, auccceeded ro well that in a few years be was enabled to open a large ahoo store, employing a number of workmen, and commanding a larpe and profitable trade. Money Cowed in rapidly, and he was in a fair way to become a rich man. Ikt prosperity dazzled bim. lie aought pleasures other than thoso fur nished by honest industry. Ti e flowing bowl waa found in his handd oftcuer than the ahoemaker'a last, lluainers was neglected. Customers dropped off. Debts sccumulated, and recently, si a bankrupt, he waa compelled to close hia place of buatness, and make over to hia creditors what was remaining of his property.

First Gun for the Forty-First Congress. The Congressional nomination in the fourth Indiana district hoe resulted, overwhelmingly, in favor of Mr. Julian. His own county (Wayce) expreed her choice by popular votö, on the Olli instant, giving him over eleven huudred mnjority over all his tbrco competitors. The counties of Hancock and Rush luve given him their entire Republican strength, through township meetings held for the purpos-e of selecting delegates to a district convention, to be-held on tho 30ih instant. At a county Convention for Frsnklin county, which met at Brooktille on last Saturday, for the' purpose of appoiotin(;ongrrsional delegate, the entire vote of tho county waa instructed to be cast fur Mr. Julian, and it is regarded aa certain that Shelby county, which has not yet acted, will follow their example. Fayetto county las gone nearly unanimouely for him, no that he has already an overwhelming majority of his district, aud will be almost certain of the wholo of it except some four townships in Union county, and perhaps two or three in Fayette. It is probable the convention will never bo held, as it would seem to be a useless formality, after tho people have so emphatically spoken. Considering tho protracted and persistent opposition to Mr. Julian in years past, which finally sought to get rid of hint by re-districting tho eastern part of the State in the interest of other aspirtints, this remarkable triumph ofa most faithful, unflinching, and capable publio servant is most gratify inj to hi hosts of friends, and will bo not less welcome to the friends of the country everywhere. Tho pcoplo have triply put tleir trust In Congress, and could not wisely dismiss those whose services and fidelity from the beginning of the war leave no manner of doubt aa to their fitoeta still futhcr to deal with the great questions of tho country still pending. Mr. Julian ia now nominated for the sixth congressional term, and for more than twenty years baa been the unwavering advocate of the holy cause of licedooi, which be has lived to see triumphant through the intervention of civil war.

for the Amerleit. REPLY: TO "J. O. H." ; Mr. ZWtVor, The attempt of your Laurel correspondent to cast a stain on the judicial integrity of the Hoo. John F, Kibbey, Judge of the Caurt of Common Pleat", demand and should receive the unqualified condemnation and contempt of every man; and in order the whole community may aee and know" bow to ap preciate said correspondent, I propoao to review hi communication, and give a correct statement of the facta of the case. 1st. Tour correspondent says that "we find in bur statute books a law requiring all Railroad companies in our State to securely fence aiong the line . of . their roads." In this statement the writer either shows his ignorance of the law or his dishonesty.. There is no such law in the State of Iodiana. Tho onty law we have in relation to the fencing of ' itailroads is found in the acts of 16C3, patru 27, Sec. 7 "an act to give compensation to the owners of animals kilted, to." aud provides that this net. shall not apply to any Railroad securely fenced, arid such fence properly maintained by such company, lessee, sssigntc, rccchrr, or other persou runniftg. the same. ' Tli act docb not require any o)0 to fence Railroads, but only exempt frornVliability-. for animals killed where such roads aru Dcurely fenced. ' 2d. Your correspondent saya: was (resent at the last term of the Common Mesa Court of Franklin County wsttlinz a case ground through under the foregoing law.?'. It would lavo been more manly and honest (a the sequel will show.) if be had said he was "grinding his otcn cae through," and fnilcd to auccecd, owing to his own ignorance and stupiJity. 3d. He protendj to give a hUtory of the case from its eommenceujeut before tho Justice to its filial termination in said Court, but he doe not state the facti. They aro as follows: Ho began his suit before a J. P. on an insufficient complaint. C C. Binkley Es-q.. the attorney for the W. W. V. R R. Company, domoncd to tho complaint. Correspondent by his special f (leading (pettifogging) succeeded io miscadiog the Justice, who overruled tho demurrer; thereupon a jury was etnpannetted and sworn to try the caue. The Plaintiff introduced his evidence, but failed to prove enough to entitle him to a verdict; but agalu by his special pleading, (pettifogging) he misled the jury and obtained a YjrdicV. Thereupon, the defendant appealed the case to the Common Picas Court. When the cose was called in said Court, the defendant's attorney called up the demurrer, and notwithstanding pluintiff resorted to all his special pleading, (pettifogging,) tho Coort sus tained the demurrer, but gave the plaintiff leave to amend lis complaint; which tie plaintiff, after soma delay, found himself unublc to dj in person. Thereupon ho employed Adams & Berry to set tho cac right, and get him Into Court, which they speedily did; and ibei he found his cute was again in Court all right, ho informed hia attorneys that he had no further uo for thctu. Thereupon they informed the Court that they had nothing further to do with the esse ibewbeing called for trial . PUititiffanddefcndaut'ssttorney agreed to submit the cuso to the Court without tho intervention of a jury. Plaintiff then introduced his evidence, and proved, as ht says, by one of . bis witnecs, "the Railroad crosses the tow path of the ('anal at the point whero the hog was killed." This was the evidence that was fatal to correspondent's cikc. Bylaw a Canal, including tho tow-pith' thereof, is a puttie Kiphuuy, and tie Courta are tound to tako judicisl notice of that fact. Now this evidence of the plaintiff shows this was a Canal, and that hia S7 hog was killed at a point where the R. R. Company could not fence their road at this point; they could not obstiuct the Cunol or tow-rath with a fence. Tho evidence ofa publio eroding to which plaintiff referred, was a common road and street eroding near tho Depot, and hod nothing to do with the lt. R. crossing at towpath of the Catial which his wit n cm spoko of. Plainllffdid not offer any evidence tending to slow that lie Canal had bt-cu abandoned at a tonal, or was waded away. This kind of evidence would have $utd his case. He had not senso sufficient to understsnd tho law or evidenco of hi rac. The Court could :not jrrNie that tho Canal had been ubstidoncd, or that it was wavbed away. The defendant had set up by way of an answer, as a defence, tie fact that the 11 R at tho point where this 7 hog was killed, was ou tho Canal, (a public highway,) and at a place not proper to be fenced. The Ccurt on demurer held this answer to bo a yood defense to the action. Plaintiff proved dcfcndint's answer to be true, (as he admita in lis etuteti ent.) This being the Let, tbe Court could net do olleiwUe tlun lind as it did. V; The statement of your correspondent about "the iur fcf the Jude leaving tie Court Hoi'so, is incorrect. Court was formally adjourned by the Sheriff, under the directions ,of the Judge, before h j (the Judge) left the Court-room. The statement ol your correspondent as to the finding of the Court next morning, is incorrect, but was as follows. In giving his decision the Judge said:; "Tbe plaintiff had proved tbe hog to be his property; had proved the killing by the engine of the defendant running on their road in the County, and that the road was not fenced, but ho had sUo proven that it was done on the Canal at a point whero tho'R. R. .crossed the tow-path of tho Canal; that plaintiff had not offered any evidence to contradict or explain the manner in which the R. R. Company was using the Canal; that be was hound to take judicial notice that a Canal was a publio highway; that he could not pmiime that it had been abandoned or was used in any other way than as a publio highway; and there being no evidence warrmtting eu6h inferencs, the findir g would bo for the defendant." . ' Your correspondent gives a large amount of evidence in his statements, which he has, after great labor, brought forth, not as given under oath, but he has. dressed it up since, for tho purpose of trying to wako a decent showing to o nceal bis meanness. If he had been $murt, ho would have known that what pleased the defendant's attorney was, that plaintiff had thrown off on Lis attorneys and undertaken to wanago his own rare, and not because he had agreed to try tho eiv by the IVmt. . No

wonder the defendant's attorney 'Was Ii k 0

tlei-Uepy brother in church,' when plain tiff was miking out delcedants deiense letter thsn he could himself, for he ktieto very well that the plaintiff had a ootfease if he presented all the facts to the Court; but he saw plaintiff had net sense enough to do it. ( f Your correspondent, after trying to fail through tinder false colors, and pass himself off as an honest man and disinterested narrator, vnintcntujnallg exposes his perfidy by the following quotation: "She has deceived toe; she may deceive you;" then eays: "If he has managed my case in such a way, will he not do other$ the vane under the rame circumstances?'1 This expression showa that the writer was platnttff in the suit, and by name James O'tlsir. ' There is no quotation in the English language so suiiablo 'to this case as this one is. , Desdemona wss as "chaste as ico and as pure as snow." She had not deceived her father or any living being, but this statement of her father was the wild and unnatural rsving of an old dotard. But to pursue the aulject. Iago, the most infamous wretch that overlived, pursued her by his bints, insinuations and inuendocs until in the eves of her hubband alio became one of the foulest and most loathtome creatures on God's green earth, which cost her her life before lago's perfidy was knowo. ' This is a, similar ciue, as far es the nhility of the modern Iago enabled him to go. He has tried to conceal himself from the publio gate, while be has cast his lints, insinuations and inuendoca of dihonesty and unfair dealing on one of the purest and rnoet upright men that has ever graced the judicial tench in our State. Tlfre lives not a man who is clearer of a stain of this kind than Hon. John F. Kibbey. Ho may have faults. "It is human to err;" who haa not, "let him cast the first atone." .They are not of this kind, however, nor of a kind that renders him unfit to preside over the Court of Confmon Pleos, or ony other Court where justice ia to be administered; nor is ho unworthy of the confidence and respect of his fellow man. Jubtick. "The Unterrified" st Oak Forest. On Friday evening, April 2lth, J. V. Bemusduffcr made his appearance at the Oak Forest chooi House. Thcro was no cannon to welcome bim, nor musio to cheer him. At a little after 7 o'clock Mr. A. B. Line moved that John II. Lanning take the chair. John said be had becu sick for some time, (we expect since . he heard the news from New Hampshire and Rhode Island,) and another thing made John feel bad was becauio hi knew Bemusduffcr waa going to tax bia bouda. After Johja had get through making excuses, up jumped hia affectionate brother and moved' to amend by inserting . the namo of A. B. Line, which motion carried, and Mr. L. took tho chair and introduced Mr. B.. who talked sometime, Mr. Itcruusdaffor thought it waa best to take the power from the Uuion party and give it to tho Democrats; suid rito Democrats wire not icrpocsible for the war; that they wanted peace; thoy didn't want war; auid Jeff. Davis and. Toombs were in for a ComproniUo, but the lladicals were bound to have war; Iho warcatn, and the cotiquence is, a ruined South aud a taxridden North. Ho then tried to draw the soldiers hv telling them of the gallant deeds of Democratic soldiers; but in that he lailod, becauso tho soldiers know who were their friends and who were their enemies during tie war.. It troubled Mr. B. u great deal about the bonds; he could not see why they could not bo taxed, and he stated that Air. Uolman eays tbe llou-e voted that they should be tsxed; but by i cheating they are not taxed. He then stated S lie amount of our debt, but couldn't tell the amount unascertained. All his cry waa "itpccie;" ho wants the pensioners to draw specie Ho wanted tbe adminia (ration to be carried ou as it was in 1SG0. Of courre, then, ho wanted all the arms und ammunition placed aa they wcro at that time. Here liu made a pawe, tolled hiaheud,and said lo was at t'UurleeloB when the Convention split; said it was not Itko tho JiCpubliciiti Convention that wet at Brookvillo on the 11th iual. ; it was like a funeral. Thou he spoke of Mr. Julian, said h (Julian) wauled ni.-gcr for breakfast, nigger for dinner, nigger for supper, and nigger all the titut; autd he was prcnent at the Convention on tho 11th; never saw a man treated as bud as Mr. Furquhsr was; taid he waa ou hia knees legging for a complimentury vote (what a lie!); said Dr. Haymond told hiui the day before the Convention that be was going to raise lull ou tho day of the Convention; raid that all but one imu was for giving it to Farquhar (so unmitigated falsehood.) Then le gave it to Mr. Claypool; said he yarned about the taxes paid at tho Brookvitle and Conneisville bunk; said instead of paying 4 J per cent, tax, as Claypool said, ihey only paid a liltlo over one per cent, (another poser.) Jle then staled that the Republicans said that Jeff. Davis, ToOmbs, Honjamiii and Yancey were Democrats, and that was tbe reason that the Democrats wcro responsible for the war; said that was no argument, for O. P. Morton was once a Democrat, and they were not going to stand responsible for all his mean act; aaid lorn Hendricks was far Gov. Baker's superior, and that their fif candidate Lt. Gov., was a much smarter man than Col. Cumback; aaid that their candidate for Lt.Gov., Mr. Edgcrton, has 8103,000 in bonds; that he was the right kind of a man to canvass; said thoy had a good ticket not a lazy man on it, (that was a slight compliment to himself); said they were going to work uight and day until tho last vote is polled. Then he went back to Gen. Harrison, and spoke awhile; then to Andy Johnson, and justified him io violation of our laws; then told about a conversation he had with Mr. Adair; said he got angry because he wss in favor of abolishing the Nstioasl Banks; then (aid that John A. Colescott told him that bis brother Jeff, and himself had ridden two days and got every Julian man in the County to come to the Convention on the 11th inst ; aaid tho Democrats would bo like the nigger's pups would oil vote right when they got their eyes open; aaid they would carry this County by 15,000 majority, and that they would balance Wayne and give to them a. Congressman from this - District; said that Claypool lied when he said ho waa opposed to negro suffrage in Indiana, for it waa the intention of tbe Republican party to allow the darkey to voto in all the States. tfvi you cu tee, Mr, Editor, tho sub-.

stance of Mr. BetnusdaiTcr's talk. There

were,' by exact count, twenty five voting Democrats present, very nearly as many Republicans, and a few women. There waa no vote of thanks or cheering. It was a very dry meeting. !

A heavy suit for damages has been commenced against tbe Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central Railway Company by J. W. Viant, of Lowell, in this State, the amount claimed being ten thoutand dollars. The facta which gave rise to the suit are about as follows: About ten days ago Mr. Viant bought a ticket at Hebron to Chicago, and back again to Hebron. On his return from Chicago he expressed a desire to the conductor to atop off at Crown Point, aud requested him to give him a check, or a lay-over ticket, which would entitle biro to his paxssge from that place to Hebron. This the conductor did, and Mr. Viant transacted his business there, and on Wednesday night of last week took the 10 o'clock traiu for Hebron. - Whe,n the conductor came to Mr. Viant to celled his fare, he hinded him the check given hiui by conductor No. 1, but which waa refused by conductor No. 2, and the regular fare deroaded. Thia Mr. Viant refused to pay, whereupon the conductor stopped the train, which bv this time waa two or three miles from Crown Point, and put Mr. Viaut front tt to the darkness and storm. The suit is set for tbe May term of the Common Picas Court in Lake count. -Journal.' - -;
