"White Water Township Items. Trofessor Lake, the leader of the Minstrel String Rand in New Trenton, has invented a three-wheeled velocipede which goes by jackass

power. A lately elected justice of the peace j from Harrison Township, Dearborn County, was riding and propelling Lake's velocipede turougn our streets on ounaay last, to me , great amusement of the Young Americas. j Go in. Jack. I Walter Mitchell was appointed Township Trustee for V bite Water Township, after be-!h ing twice fairly beaten for that office by Frank j Hallowed. Frank get the most legal votes at ) the polls, but the Election Hoard declared the election a tie, and afterward, in casting lots, Ilallowell was fairly elected by lot. Yet after all this, the Auditor in behalf of the Commissioners decided the election illegal, and appointed Mitchell And why? Only because the Commissioners could not think of having a Republican to hold the office of Trustee in White Water Township. Now inasmuch as Mitchell is to serve until October, 1870, unless displaced, the friends of LlalloweU think of contesting the matter before the proper authorities. If the matter had been referred back to the people, Mitchell would have been beaten by a decisive vote. But the Commissioners dark not let the people decide. Do our County Commissioners think the people capable of self-government? It would seem by this action that they do not. The Hydraulic works of Smith & Greenwood, near New Trenton, are in course of vigorous prosecution. A large force of workmen and a atoant excavator and grl train on the Valley Road are pushing the work with commendable zeal. We hope next Fall will witness the entire completion of the works. We are blest with a good school at our school-house, under the care and management of Miss Maggie DeReck, one of the most accomplished female teachers in the western country. We hope this school will be fully patronized, as it is better for a boy to have a hundred dollars in his head than a hundred dollars in his pocket. The one will make a max of him, while the other will make a fool of him. Tuition $3 per scboUr for a term of thirteen weeks. Trkstosiax. Whitcomb Items. Rusiness is opening up quite lively this Spring in the little vi'lage of Whitcomb. Myers & Jaques are quite busy attending to the many customers they have since they opened their Spring stock of dry goods. Miss Jenkins has just opened a fine stock of millinery goods at the residence of Mrs. MilUpaugh. We hope to see her well patronized by the neighboring citizens. Go in; now is the time to get beautiful bonnets for the May show. Leonard March has just swung out his new hiugle as manufacturer. He has carried ou a shoe factory here for many years. He open ed with a heavy slock this Spring. Oppos -lion enlivens trade. John H. Nabb has purchased the residence of M A. Covington, aud, by the way, has put out a sign as maker of men's arid ladies' ware in the boot aad shoe line. Yoj will find the accommodating gentleman in his shop at all units during working hours. David Stout, the Postmaster, has just received the new style of postage stamps. Citizens, give him a call, and patronize your owu office iu .the purchase of b tamps, or else we may be deprived of a posl-oliice. The Methodists opened their Sunday School here on Suuday last under the sueritiendeuce of F. M. Chamberlain. M. E.

Trichler Jt Scobey are in receipt of another fine assortment of goods. Everybody wanting Clothing should patronise this first-class house. Excursion. We learn that an excursion will take place from Brookville to Cincinnati before long. For particulars, see posters in u few days. Fire. Abcut 3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, fire was discovered in the stable on the premises of Mr. Henry Berry, in the rear of the Court House. A large crowd of people immediately collected there, but the names had got under such headway that it was impossible to do more than to protect the adjoining buildings, which were considerably scorched during the progress of the fire. Mr. Berry's loss is probably f:!S0, the stable having in it some bay, corn and dressed lumber. A couple of little boys, while playing, had carelessly set fire to something close to the stable, which fire- was communicated to the fated building, A Card. To my friends and neighbors, for their timely and energetic services in arresting the fire tn my premises on the 27th inst., I hereby tender my grateful acknowledgments. April 25th, 1SSS. U.BtsaRvJa. Sweet Potatoes. Mr. W. R. LaRue has presented us with a lot of very large and excellent Yellow Kansemond Sweet Potatoes which he preserved through the Winter. Mr. LaRue's plants are always eagerly sought for, and our people can at all times be accommodated by calling at his residence just above town. Distilierj Seizure. We learn from Supervisor ef Internal Revenue Williams that the seixure of the distillery of A. P. Williams, of Lawreuceburg, Indiana, on the 13th Instant, was in consequence of the distiller having failed to pay the special tax of fourdollars per barrel, and the "capacity" tax of two dollars per day fer every twenty bushels of grain mashed, imposed by act of Congtoss of July 2il, 1S6S. The taxet due amounted to about S22,tH!tf. Jcoisal.

Obituary. William Spencer died at his home in Laurel, April 15th, 1869, aged S? years, 5 months, and 18 days. That dread messenger of death, consumption, laid hold of him while yet in the prime of his manhood, and although he hoped and prayed that he might be spared to his family a little longer, it was plainly evident to the many anx-

OM friends who watched beside his couch that he was slowly but surely wending his way down into the dark valley of death. Ho became a member of the M . K. Church when was about twenty-one years old, and from tnal nm" lo tne c,os 01 0,8 n " to evidence his firm belief in the divine reality of religion by attending on the house of worship and by laboring to the best of his ability for the promotion of the eaase of Christ. That he erred, no one will deny; but who has not? When he became convinced that his stay on earth was drawing to a close, he turned his eyes heavenward, and talked of his departure with calmness and christian resignation. After telling his family that it was hard for him to give them up, no more to mingle with them, he pointed them to Him who has promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless. He exhorted all with whom he conversed to live f or Jesus , so that they might remain nnmoved, confidently relying on the great I Am in that day when the silvery bands shall be loosed and the faint beating of life grow softer. A wife and Ave children are left to mourn the lost of a kind husband and indulgent parent. T. Q. P. The Revenue Assessor. There appears to be a growing impression, in some portions of the District, that a change will be made in the office of Assessor of Internal Revenue, and some of the newspapers are putting ftrward their favorites for the position. The Aurora Independent urges the claims of Judge Lamb, and the Brookville American those of Ma jor John C. Burton, of that place, and each makes so tair a case tor Us favorite that we don t see how to decide the matter between them. Judire Lamb isconcededly worthy and capable. Major Burton is a veteran soldier, well qualified, and is a radical working Republican. He lost his right arm in the Mexican war; recruited a company at the out-break cf the rebellion, of which he was chosen Captain, and served with his regiment (the Thirteenth) throughout its term coming home its Major; and is in favor of the next war, if England does not soon come to time in regard to the Alabama depredations. Greensborg Standard. An Estoppel to Bolting. In the House of Representatives of this State, Friday last, two bills were introduced one by M r. U.vborn, of Laporte, and the other by Mr. Dunn, of Lawrence, and referred to the Judiciary Committee, providing a penalty for bolting or resignations, for the purpose of breah.Bg a qaorum. Mr. Osborn's bill provides: "Any person elected as a Senator or Representative, who shall, for the purpose of preventing a quorum, fail or refuse to qualify, or who shall resign for that purpose, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convicti n shall be fined not less than one thousand dollars." Here Is the text if Mr. Dunn's: Members of the General Assembly, when they resign, shall tender their resignations to that branch of the General Assembly to which they belong, for acceptance, Ac, and other officials to the authorities from which they receive their commissions, lc." The introduction of these evidently necessary and proper propositions was the signal for the outburst of a storm, on tho Democratic side of the House, which lasted through the entire day, of which the prominent clement was Che everlasting nigger." The Republicans remained cool a May morning, and after the ebullition had subsided, referred them to tho appropriate committee, which, we hope, will report early and favorably. We have a law under which any citizen, who may be elected or appointed a road supervisor, is subjected to a fine of $ fi,00 per day for every day he shall neglect or refuse to qualify and discharged its duties. We do not know that legislators are so much better than common folks, that they should be allowed privileges above them. Jtireensburg Standard. The Fourth District Aesessorship. We are aware it is not "our funeral," and tha t as far as parties and politics is concerned, none of our business. What we might choose to say would have no in fiaence in producing a change. But it seems to us, that in the selection of a person to till so important an office, the voice of the people of the District should be heard. The present incumbent is unfitted for the position , and unpopular, even with his own party. S far as we have observed, not a single Republican journal in the District has spoken in favor of retaining him in office; and even the organ ot his party in his own county, as will be seen Irom the extract above, has no remonstrance to make against rotating him out, and no hesitation in naming a gentleman as his sucoessor. We should be pleased to see Judge Lamb or Major Burton occupy 'he office. Either one, we have no doubt, wou Id discharge its duties with ability and fidelity, and we think the appointment of either wjuld be satisfactory to the people of all parties. And we believe that if either of these gentlemen would make the proper effort, there wou'd be hut little or no difficulty in effecting the change. -Aurora Advocate. Frtm the Nrrthcrn Indtanian. The Advance Fay System. The Rochester Union Spy discourses as follows on the advance pay system for newspapers. We assure our brethren of the press everywhere that it is the best, and only safe method upon which a newspaper can be successfully conducted, and that, for ourselves, we intend to adhere to it. Here is wfcat the Spy says; "Weeau almost tell at a glance whether a newspaper is conducted on the credit or cash system. Among our exchanges is the Northern Indtanian, published at Warsaw, whose proprietors exact advance pay ment from every subscriber. The Indianian after allowing for the difference in population of the counties where they are published, and the faet that Kosciusko is Republican while Fulton is Democratic is a much better paper than the Union Spy. The only reason for its superiority is: The Indianian loses nothing by the dishonesty or negligence of its patrons, and the time of the editor aud publisher is wholly devoted to the affaiis of their office. On the other hand, every time we want to send for a bundle of paper, one of the publishers has to quit the office and spend days ou the streets to collect the money. ' What say our advance-paying patrons? Shall we not make 1869 a trial year o( the cash system? If we received what we earn, we could furnish a much better paper than is possible under existing circumstances. We request the written opinion uf every man who has paid for his paper." Print the Eecords. The doings of the County Commissioners, Township Trustees and City Council should be regularly published. It should be the duty of the proper officers to furnish the records for publication, and see that they are published. The people would willingly pay the small sum required to know exactly wha"t they pay taxes for. When it is remembered that much the larger portion of onr taxation grows out of the action of these local bodies, it seems singular that the laws which require the publication of the doings of the State and National Legislatures make no provisions for these local laws and actions to be made known. We think the Auditor should be required to furnish for publication the doings of the Commissioners, the Clerk those of the Council, and the Township Trustees should print their report.

Coming Closer. A few days ago we made an estimate of the probabilities of the adoption cf the Constitutional amendment, and showed that, with the effect of Senator Morton's proviso

in the recent Reconstruction act, it was inevitable. That estimate was based upon such reports as we could then obtain of the States that had ratified it, and they were incomplete. We find now that instead of fourteen, do less than twenty-one have already approved it, and that what we had eet down as seven strong probabilities are really seven facts. The difference in the conclusiveness of our argument wade by this change in its premises. is just the difference between what we are sure will happen, and what has happened. We can argue now from twenty-one facts, instead cf fourteen facts and seven good chances. And to the increased force obtained from facts must be added the confidence which their fulfillment of our predictions gives to the predictions unfulfilled. The confirmation of our opinion made by seven States, lends strength to the opinion touching the other seven necessary to secure the Amendment. It will be ratified and become a part of the Constitution. The rase uow stands thus: Already ratified, by Maine, Massachusetts,! iNew York, 1'ennsylvania, West Virgiuia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Viconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Arkansas, Louisiana and Kansas; certain to be ratified, by Virgiuia, Mississippi and Texas founder Morton's proviso), and by Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Khode Inland. That settles the case, without California, Indiana or Ohio. We beg Democrats to look at this closely and candidly. Only seven Slates are needed to make the Amendment part of the Constitution. Three of them in ratifying it will only subject the free Slates to the same condition which tho free St ttcs Imve imposed upon them. They will "commend our chalice to our own lips," give us "a dose of our own n.eJicine." This will be enough to impel their approval. Morton's proviso added to this makes it as certain as any futute event can be. As to the other four, they are all New Eugland States, about none of which even a Demo crat entertains any doubt now. Connecticut might have been doubtful before the late election, but that is past. Connecticut carried for the Amendment upon that distinct issue is as safe as if its action were of record. Therefore, it is little less than certain that the Amendment will be adopted. Now, we want to ask the Democrats what they expect to gain by resisting, not the adoption, but any action at all, Ly our Legislature, upon the amendment? It will be the law without our vote, and will be the law for us as much as for the States that have adopted it. The ''colored vote" is as certain to be an element in future elections as the Irish vote. Resisting it, denouncing it, deriding the negro, will only make it all the harder to get ne;ro votes hereafter. Would it not be wise to prepare for the inevitable result? Would it not pay better to begin suggesting or sup porting a little just legislation lor the re lief of the negro from the restrictions of the infamous Thirteenth Article of our State Constitution? Mr. Coffroth is one of the Democrats who did not resign to beat the amendment at the regular session, because he could not have bceu re elected. His county is very close. The negro vote will very probably decide it hereafter. 11 he should ever want to come to the Legislature agaiu, he would need the negro vote. How is he to get it if he continues fighting them, when fighting is worse than hopeless, when it can accomplish nothing but to show thetu his undying, implacable hate? A Democrat can do any thing possible to unscrupulous iugenuity, but we fancy that it will be beyond the power even of a Democrat to prove that he is the 'negro's friend," with the record of the late regular session, and the refusal to organize at the special session, staring him in the face. The longer the present insane desperation of opposition continues, the more abject must bo the humiliation necessary to win the negro. In fact, the Democracy in the Legislature are simply making the ' humble pie" they will have to eat in less than a year, bigger, tougher, nastier, harder to bite, harder to swallow, more ruinous to the stomach to digest. They tcitl eat it though. They know, just as well as they know that they are now fighting the negro, that before the next ice freezes they will begin to work, cheat, lie, bribe, and argue for negro votes. They know they will make speeches to prove that they always were frieuds of the uegro. They know they will pay the same court to the dirkey that they now do the Irishman. Iu some sections they know they will rate the negro above the Irishman. They will read the books of African travel to learn auecdotcs of negro hospitality or courage to electioneer with. They will study books on anatomy, not as they do now, to prove that the negro is a beast, but that he is a better man than white men who won't vote the Democratic ticket. They will get up processions with negroes in highly ornamented wagons. They will banish all the old flummery of gills with flags begging to be saved "from negro hbatids." Tbey know liey will do all this and a great deal more; that there is nothing to flatter or convert a nej gro that they will not do, aod that to do it they must take back, apologize, repent in ashes, for everything they are doing now. Then why, in the name of common sense, will they keep on doing what they will have to undo? We can't explain it. But the faet is as palpable as the State House and a great deat more durable. They are doing what they know they will undo, and what to undo will subject them to humiliation that would make anybody but a Democrat cut his throat. And still they do it. We beg them to slop. We preseut them facts to prove indisputably that the Amendment must become the law. We hold before them the inevitable re suits, to their own consistency, to their personal pride, to their cherished negro antipathy. We implore them to reflect on the futility of what they do, and the difficulty it creates in the way of what they must do. We warn them to be wise in time, to make unto themselves friends of darkeys, for the day is on the wing, and its flight is straight as a carrier pigeon's, which must Fee them fawning in Democratic fashion, where they are now planting the sharpest kind of spikes for their knees to rest when kneeling time comes.

Removal of the Capital. The Cincinnati Commercial had, a few days since, an editorial in relation to the removal of the National Capital, in which it expresses the opinion that New York city would be a proper place for its loca

tion. J be Indianapolis Commercial in sinuates that the Cincinnati man is insane, and we incline to the same opinion. It needs no argument to prove that any man who is in favor of removing the Capital to New York is not coinjwa mentit. There can be no sufficient reaso offered for a change of the location, save that of securing one more central and easy of access, but there could be hundreds of valid reasons given against its location at New York, even though that city was situated in the very center of the country. At its present distance from the Capital it exerts a baneful influence on legislation; is always ready, with men and money, to secure or defeat the enactment of such measures as may or may not meet its approbation; and to take Congress nearer to her wouid strengthen her power and augment the evil. In case of the removal of the Caprfal and wo believe it will be done, ere m-itiy years it should come at least as far West as Indianapolis; and in view of the rapid settlement of the yet ' Far West," we are not sure hut that it should be some hundreds of ruilea farther. Indianapolis, bowever, is the greatest rail-road center in the country, and hence more easy of acoiss than any other point; is located in a beautiful and healthy region; and can offer as great inducements as any other point. If the Capital is to be moved, why not to Indianapolis? Let her put in her claims. Greeusburg Standard. Progress Toward Republican Government in Canada. A Ttibune Montreal special says that the desire of the people of the new Dominion to cut loose from thcir'dependence upon the mother country, has received a powerful impetus from one or two great events, and whatever course will finally be adopted, there can be little doubt that a great political change of some sort is not far distant. Several private meetings of influential persons have recently leen held here for the purpose of considering the great question of change in the form of the government, and the general dissatisfaction with the present state of things is more openly expressed. The newspa pers are at last beginning to meet the questtou face to face, and giving utterance to the sentiment which has long been widely dispensed among the people. Although few have had courage to ex press themselves publicly, there is a party in favor of independence, but a larger party, I believe, aims at annexation to the United States, and will soon make itself prominent. The acquisition of the Hudson Bay territory has given additional force to the arguments of the annexationists, who felt that such a maguifieetit domain as the new Djti-inion now p-onTocs to be ought no longer to be dwarfed and kept dowu by dependence on a transatlantic Government, and that the people of Great Britain 6ba!l surrender her North American possessions as a setoff against the Alabama claims, has created a deep sensation in certain circles, and not a few regard it with decided favor. Senator Sumner's speech is copied in full by both the English and French journals, and is, of course, tho t'pio of much discussion. The Indiana House has passed the General Appropriation bill.
