Bloarsnhlcil Sketch.

"Chroniclo." hiecil correspondent of the Cincinnati Gacotte, gives tbe follow ing biographical sketch of Hoo. Geo. V. Julian: Wii ,.yCongrcHionsl b'mtory f Hon. Choree' W, Julian, the nomlneo for tbe Fourth District;-, tbt people art more familiar than thaiof bis earlier life. He was born at Ceutervtlle, Wayne 'ounty, Hiy 5, 18I7, and ia therefore-fifty-one ieara old. Ilia f.tber and motitT were of 'reuch ' tltraction. and removed from North Ctirolioa to Kdstern Indiana at tbt time of ita early settlement. When George won but six years old, Lis father died, leaving bis mother with six children, to utanage a beet they could for themselves. Georg waa very induitrioua and at the same time very food of reading and study, aitting up late at niuht fur that purpose, and rclyinnpon tbe fire for hi light. By this meanr-ha prepared bimaelf for school teachiÖL', whiclr Le,djd in hla own neighborhood, or as near home as possible. At the. age of 22, be ; went to Illinois to teach school and at the same time began read Greenfield, Indiana, but two years afterward removed to Centerville. Iu 1815 he was, sent to tbe Legislaturo' as a Whig member. In March of that year be was married to Mis. Annio K. binoh, of Centerville. In 184S he was an eloctor on the Free Soil ticket, and in 1849 was the Freeing IaWlohe. So diligont was he that be' was admitted to practice the next year, in 1840, and. opened an office a soil candidate for Congress, defeating S. W. Barker! In that Congress be took a very active part in the Homestead policy, but waa defeated by Mr. Barker in 1851. In 1832 be was nominated at l'itteburg, with John B. Hale, to bead the Free Soil National ticket, but with tbe certainty of defeat staring him in the face. Upon the rise of Know Nothingism he bitterly and persistently opposed it as wrong in policy and principle. In 1SGU be waa nominated as tho Kepublican candidate for Congress, and waa elected, aince which time be haa been an active member- of that body. It may safely be said that he has been one of the most faithful and consistent men in that body radical at all times, and preferring to be right rather than to be on the popular side. He haa alwaya been trut to hia principles and tothoso of hia constituents. Hence, ht can any what but a few persona in his position could, that be has not made aay mistaken, and that if hia publio acta and votes had to be reviewed ho would ia no case change them. In thia more tban anything elno does hia popularity consist, lor there is but little in bis personal manners that ia calculated to arouse a atrong attachment, op if so, in but few instances. He is generally regarded as rather cold blooded and calculating. Ilenco, be doca nothing by impulse, and it ia said be would not walk across hia field to abake banda with a roan, if he thought be could coin his vote by doing so. That be is a popular man there can be no question, but it is as a public man rather than aa a private citizen. In 18C0 hU first wife died, and in lbG3 he married osrrin; this time to Mi Laura, daughter of. Hon. Joshua 11. biddings, wbo is still living. - Fur lb Anarlcao. r. Ed Vor, Thinking that a word from, your Kepublican friends at Colter's Corner, would not be ty interesting to your readers, we send you an account of the organization ofrthe Bath Township Grant and Colfax Club on Friday evening, July 21th. In consequence of the ''violent" efforts that our Democratic friends are making at thia place to carry thia Town.hip, we determined to not only dispute every inch of ground, but add our mite to tbe glorious victory the Kepublican party is about to win in the coming election. To this end a meeting waa called, a constitution and by-laws were drafted, and tbe following officers were elected: John W. Feighan, President;: J. J. Fry, Vice President; W. II. Sites, Secrctsry, and J. P. Blszier, Treasurer. A hall was ecured, where ampta arrangements wcro made to accommodate the present society and tbe large number of voters wbo have expressed a wi.h to become member of the Club at our next meeting. Fully determined to arouse to a sense of duty every person who hss the good of the country at heart, wo hope to he able to send you encouraging news from time to time of our progrexs.

II. DinsJham, Ucaf Si'r: Wo met here this eveting for tbe pnrposa of organising a (Jraot Club. There was a general turnout of tbe people.' Silas H. Scring wis tjioseo Chairman, and John A. t'olescott Secretary. Ii. H. Hajmond Esq. wan then introduced to the audience. He made us a very interesting speech, setting fortlj in a clear end able manner the Jmuc of the day, speaking first of the records of (he different candidates, then of reconstruction, and then of taxation, exposing the dishonesty of Democracy in this and other Statea while under Democratic ruli. He waa followed by Capt. William II. Jones in 1 highly interesting speech.. After which we organized a Grant Club. C. Serenade" to Gen. Grant An Immense and Enthuslastio Demonstration. . s St. Louis, August 5. Gen. Grant waa the recipient of one of the most enthusiustio demonstrations to night, in the way of a serenade, ever given to any one in this city. Before the General's arrival, and several times since, public demonstrations io hit honor have been proposed, but they have been declined. Since bis first arrival he hat not spent a single night in the city. It has therefore been impossible fer, citizens to make any publio expiessien in his honor, and have bnu present, but aa it was known that be would leave for Galena to-morrow, be waa invited to meet a few political friends this evening at the tesidence of Win. McKee, proprietor of tbe Democrat, and ht consented. Tbe result was a most hearty and enthusiastic ovation. Hundreds of citizens thronged the residence and were intro duced to the General; and between 10 and 11 o'clock three bands, each accompanied by a large crowd from different parts of the city, with banners and trans pareneies, came and sorenadod him. At this time the etreet in front ef the residenco was packed with people, blocking the street railroad. In responsMo loud and prolonged calls, tbe General appeared on tbo steps of tbe house, and waa introduced to the crowd by Gen. Pile io a brief but eloquent and pointed speech, after which Gen. Grant atepped foiward and spoe as follows: . Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens I can acaicely find words to thank you for thia hearty and warm reception. It is peculiarly gratifying to me to meet so many friends of St. Louis and t. Louis County, whero I have resided longer ihun at any pluce aince I have been a man grown, and where I have interenta, and where I nny again becomo a resident at aomeulure daj, Thanking you again, 1 will bid you good night. Thia fpeoch was received with nine entbutiastio cheers, end large number of people pressed forward to greet the General, wbo lemained on the steps some minutes and ahook bauds with all that could approach. The General soon afterward It ft for his borne, acknowledging himnelf outflanked for once, but ex preying bimnelf highly gratified wilb the demonstration. The crowd lingered a long time, and speeches were made by thai. 1. Johnson, Col Colcord and others. Visible Admixture-Does the World Move? New Trenton, Franklin Co., Ind., ) August 5. J To the Editor 0 the Cincinnati Gazette: That the world does move, and that, too, in the right direction, was fully demonstrated iu our Circuit Court, now in session in this, one of the darkest (politically) cornera of our good Hooaier ötsto. A gleam of light has indeed gladdened the eyes of some wbo hitherto have ant in Democratic (?) datkness. For tbe first rime in the history of thia county baa negro testimony against white meti been admitted in our Court, and what is more, tbt testimony of tbe negro is sufficient to convince an almost . Democratic jury of the white man's guilt as charged iu the indictment, and pronounced guilty of as sault with intent to kill. I refer to (he case of tho State of Indiana vs. Wilhelm. Tbe testimony waa that Wilhelm made a wanten, cowardly attack upon one Jacka aa i It . . t son, a coiorea oaroer in urooaviiic; (but 5IaI--- s 1. .1 t. 1 1 LU,e T Vn V ,- V r . T neatly killed with a stick of stove wood, in tbe hand's of Willhelm, the defendant; that defendant swore he intended to kill him, aud would have killed him if he had not been prevented. The esse was ably prosecuted by Dem orratio lawyers, and ably defended by one BepublicMn and two Detnocratio lawyers. Neither paity objected to the admission of the negro a testimony, nor was any objection made against one of the jurors, upon whom a visible admixture of negro blood is plainly to bo seen, and whom our Democratic clerk pronounces in tho record a good and lawful man, aud a householder of the county.Judge Wilson, who is proverbially clear and terse in his charges, gave so lucid an exposition of tho law in tho esse, Tibat )CU)0crati0 juror8 Kere forced to the fijntNsion that the negro hat rights .bat - i,.-nn ,.. .,. tbe white man is bound to respect. The jury, ai'ler aß hour's absence, found the defendant gulty, and assessed a fine of $2. and impiisont'ient in tho couuly jail lor 23 dsye. Who, fter this, will say that the world docs not move? S. D. . Thaddeus Stevens Dead. . . Wasiiinuton, August 11. The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens died at prccitcly 12 o'clock to-night, at his residence in this city, on Cspifol Hill.

Such a party, although proclaiming it aelf the especial champion of Constitutional Liberty, which it attempted to crush with the eword of Treason, can never have the sympathy or support of the great im cf tbe Soldiers and Sailors, who, with their blood and years of valorous toil, beat back tbe red flames of Sectsrion, and restored the couatry to prosperity and Ccace. Thry can never take" to their osoms or warm lata life and power tbe accursed serpent ef t'oppcrbeadism, after once having felt its treasonable and poisonous'stiiig.

He confessed he did not know, and as none of hia bisrers chost to disturb the harmonics of the occasion by giving him an answer to bis question, we propose to: relieve hiuj 19 far as to show that .the lion's share ol the money waa handled by his Dt-mocratio supporters, whom, in au evil hour for tbeuielvea, the people of a portion ol the counties elected to administer (heir luosl governments The grand total of laxea levied in Indk ana for the year 1807, for all purposes, as et forth in the report of tbe Auditor of State, was 93,1(35,736 77, or which f978,280 11 Paa forStait revenue proper, 1765, 400 31 for the support of common aehoola, fC'J,C23 81 for tbt reduction of the State debt, and the residue was levied for county and other local purposes. The rate of county taxation depend, to a great extent, on the manner in which county affairs are administered, and the honesty of county end subordinate officials. County Commissioners can be lavish or economical, and whether they are tbe one 'or the other can best be determined from tbt tax levies imposed by their authority. We give,, below, a list of eight Democratic counties, so Democratic- that no Kepublican ever Sods his wsy into any of their offices, with the amount of their taxes, as set out in tbe Auditor's report, namely: Allen, total tax $314.737 ii Drarhorn, " Flcjd, Fountain, " Franklin, " 1 Kdsi.

Those eii'ht counties bad. in 18(15, according to tbe State enumeration of that year, 4(1 CC2 voters, and theii local tuxes average $30 27 for esch voter. In the county of Fountain they are M 53 for esch voter. We can not tell Mr. Hendricks where this million and a quarter has gone or will go; we trace it into the hands of hia parly friends who hold the local (Hees of those eight Democratic counties, and leave him to make auch further explorations as his ruriocity or thirst for knowledge may impel him to undertake, but if he Gods out what dipositinn they mskeof it, hu will be more fortunate than tie patient people who hubm'u J roiit year to 3 ea r to such enorin Olli local levies, and still gt on electing the c!as of u.en who ate mponsible for 1 hem.' Ms. Hcbdiifla will nu. doubt affect to be abtoiiiohed that it takes au much to pay Couuly and other local expenses, where Democrats hold aws , hut we advise him to follow the lend of the Sentinel and charge it all Io ' radical mismanagement," as that learned or pan of "the time-honored principles" unhesitatingly die. Acknowledging ita inability to answer our review of that geutleuiau'e unlucky attack on the State administration in hi New Albany speech, the Sentinel vou tents itself with this childish rejoinder: . CMS liiere mutt bo "something rotten in Denmark" when tsxea increase from tli 1 ec to four millions under a Democratic State administration of ten or eleven millions under radical mismansgemeut. These are 1'icts that can not be denied. Why this great increao-? The auswer to this inquiry can be given readily. The increase is the effect of radical, rule fhe rcsul'oftho r.dical tniomauagemeut of the 1 ublic affairs, Ind that is just ' where the shoe pinches. The radicals too. possesion of tbe Stste and , National governments when they were cheaply administered, aud in a brief time they were increased from three to six fold. Such are the fruits of radicalism, and we cahnot expect a return to the good old times of low tuxes until the'Democratio party ia returned to power. That is the remedy for tbe ills under which the country is Buffering. The psrty in power can not apply the remedy. It will be wisdom then to entrust the Government with the ptirty that hss both the disposition, will and tbe j ability to do it. We are not advised of the condition of Dcutnark, but it is mauifeet that there is rottcuness in abundance in the Demo emtio management of the finances cf Allen count;, a -id ac'e-ir case f putrefao tiou io Fountain. Democratic Floyd is in neai ly as bad a way as Allen, while lkaibou', twss, Franklin, ' Knox ' and Shelby smell tffcii.ircly of Democratic speculation. 1)6 are tyld by the Stntmcl thatit is all owing to "radical mismanagement, ' that the pure, the honest, the economical, the tax bating, tbe people loving officials cf Democratic counties impose taxes on their constituents, three times aa onerous as sll the levies msde by the State. It is a wondrous pity that Democrats who hsppen to hold the taxing power of their counties should be so easily debauched, and straßgerstill that the people who pay these heavy taxes should continue to keep them iu office nfter tbe innocent souls have been ruiucd by ''radical mismanagementlw We are to have low taxes, says the &711W, when the Democratic party ia restored to power. Of courel We know by the hnppf example of New York city, where the Democratic party is never out of power, and where the economical Democracy annually collect taxea equal ' to MOo'to ench voter, that wt would bavo a change If the Democratic pity were entrusted with the purse strings of the nation, but it would Le a t-haogp for' the worse. The brilliant success of the Democracy of Allen and Fouutaiu counties luuat cooviuco the most skeptic! that Atc taXCS and tbt restoration of the Demo cratic party art convertible phrases before an election, but not afterwards. ' Tho State organ of bt cheap Dem ocracy asserts that its party hss both tht disposition and ability to reduce taxation. . .1. -....:..... : t. m oil, euppote tue capviiuicm ia mt m

His scathing rebuke of the leaders of that concern was moit effectual and complete to the minds of all who heard it, paying a glowing tribute to tbe Kepublican party aa an orgaaication of substantial progress. He closed amid tho long continued tnanifeataiiona of approval of his masterly and convincing effort . Mr. Williams followed in his happiest vein.

He i a favorite among tho people wherever be goes, and will bo rewarded for his f.ithful a'ewaidbip in Congress by a re election with the largest majority ever given any candidate io thia district.
