We copy the following from the Hichmood Telegram of May 29th. It will be seen that the Telegram copies a Richmond letter from the Indianapolis Sentinel, irhich gives the case from the Reid standpoint; after which follows the Telegram's statement from the Julian standpoint: This is altogether the best showing of the -case we have seen, and, we presume no impartial person can read it without comintr to the conclusion that the enemies of Mr. Julian committed a fraud, as the sworn testimony of sixty citizens of the South Poll clearly proves. A correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel writes as follows: Connersville Times. THE ISEGRO TOWER. This power is certainly one of the wonders of the nineteenth century. Who would have thought that change would be wrought so soon that such a small number of years would put the negro on top and the white man uuderneath? Yet it is done in spite of the well-wishes of the white man and in defiance of the Constitution both of the National and State Governments. The negro farce enacted "by jour legislative body, without a quorum, is beneath the dignity of mere contempt itself. If the people of Indiana submit to such an imposition, and consent to keep a party still in power which has sold them out to the contemptible degradation of the negro equality, why then, we will have to admit that the old citizen pride and manly independence which have been for so many years the boast of our American people, are gone from us forever. White men's interests are treated with -contempt in order to force an unnatural alliance between the two races, which will jiot win and cannot obtain. THE REID AND JULIAN CONTEST.

The editor of; the 1 aliadium testified lhat he printed 500 er more of these sort of tickets for Bepuhlicans and 100 to 200 of the same class ot tickets with Juliau's name instead of lleid's. THE QUESTION. How many and which cf these two classes of tickets were voted, is the great question to be decided. It will be seen that the tickets were a I printed by a Bepubiiean and were all voted by the BePil!icans, as no Democrats voted the Bepublican ticket with Beid's uame on them.

"THE UNION, THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS." VOL. 8, NO. 25. .BROOK VILLE, IND , FRIDAY JXJNE 18, 18G9. WHOLE NO 390.

The vote of the south poll cannot, by any show of fraud, be justly thrown out, and, therefore, if the will of the people is , regarded, Judge Keid was elected Dy a majority in the whole district of not less . than 108 votes. This, Julian knows as well as any other man, but he is determined, if possible, to throw out tha whole of the vote of the south poll, because this is the only chance he has to prove his election. If injustice and fraud are to be approved of in our elections, then, should we, the people, know it, that we may not hereafter fool away our time eoinsr to elections. W e feel ashamed of this whole rascallv effort to defeat the will of the people, by attempting to bring the good name of our city in-i to disrepute. Boz.

It never was supposed that the tickets which were ratnitt J by the Board of election iu the South Precinct would change the result to as to elect Mr. Julian, but that the tickets which were voted did elect him. It was believed that the tickets that weic couutcd were not the tickets that were voted. 'Whether they were or not was and is the question, and the whole investigation was curried cn lor the sole pi.ipo.-e of ascertaining that fact. It was i not believed that one hundred and fifty seven Bcpubiicaus were so i;sr personally hostile to Mr. Julian, and governed by malice and recreant to their t-rincipies as to erase his name, and insert lhat of a man whose principles they regarded as those of a traitor, while it was know there were lew men in ihe Bepublican party j ovcrned by ambition and by malice, who; would rescrt io any means io ueieat mm. i It was Hot expected that ti e men who stuffed the ballot box would say so. .

The results of that examination arc sufficient to satisfy every .impartial! mind that a great fraud was perpetuated. The author of this article saw and examined every deposition taken by Mr. Julian in this city, nd his statements of facts will be verified by the officer before whom they were taken whenever required. There were five hundred and five men who swore absolutely and without reservation or equivocation that they knew themselves voted for Mr. Julian.

A clergyman, whose name is stated to be Mr. Wild, has been lecturing in Canada, taking for his subject, 'What the world is coming to.' He announces these, among other things looming in the distance: Coral insects will fill up the Pacific with solid, habitable land; eventually the globe will be all land, or at least there will be no more sea; there is also to be perpetually equal day and night of twelve hours each all over the globe; there is to be only one language spoken throughout the world, and 'that of course will be KnHsh.' It has been said that fowls are the most economical things farmers can keep, because for every grain they give a peck. "I despise mankind,"' said an arrogant millionaire to n noted clergyman. ''I see you have studied your own uat ure deeply," replied the clergyman. Seaweed charcoal is now used as a substitute for animal charcoal, it is said, with good results, particularly for the bleaching of certain tinctures, as quinine and morphia. The grandest man is he who troubles himself least about the verdict that may be passed upon him by his cotemporaries or posterity, but who tinds, in doing good,, honest work, to the best of his ability under existing conditions, brings 'its own exceeding great reward.' All great questions have been settled by men in earnest by men who have bound a principle about their hearts which they come to regard as 'part aud parcel' of their being. Little, peddling, temporizing policy never yet conferred a lasting benefit upou the world. , All the gold that exists iu the United States to-daj, says an exchange, could be placed in a square box of less than filteen (15) leet iu length, width and depth.

A BACHELOR'S COURTSHIP. Richard Brown had lived a bachelor for forty years, and declared bis intention of

continuing in the state of si ogle -blessed ness for the remainder of his life, greatly to tne satisfaction of his relatives, the Uinkles, with whom he resided; for, be it known. Uncle Richard was worth a cool half million, and the H inkles were his , only living relations; and unless, as Airs. llmkle said, some "nasty charity came in f i k r Ills rrftnor nK A cKaii 1 .-1 K a 1a a a it to fcut bs OWQ cJousinsor their children? 1T , . .....

Matters progressed smoothly enough until it was habit and not hypocrisy which made Cousin Richard actually master of the house. fie was very obliging wonderfully, so in most respects. He would atteid to anything for anybody; match ribbons when nobody else would; escort girls to a place of amusement; go dutifully to chorch with their mamma; attend to marketing and the posting of letters, and the gas metre, and the turning eff of the water in frosty weather. He was always ready to search (he house with a poker at the dead of the night, when any one "heard a noise. He went to the dentist with people who wanted their teeth drawn, and always seemed to have sugar plums in his pocket. But one thing Cousin Richard wouid not do, and that was to exhibit the - least sign of politeness to lady visitors. He never saw any one home. - He never even spent the evening in their company, lie invariably shut himself up io his own room, and had his tea there, when one of these individuals was reported to be in the house, and when traveling, had been known in. the train to shut his eyes tight when a young lady entered, and remain w ith them closed until she left the carriage. As a genera! thing, indeed, he always chose a carriage where he need not be intruded upon. "it was just as well, after "all," said Mrs. Hinkle; but it was not quite so agreeable to Mr. II. when he found the pleasant task of "seeing Miss Smith or Miss Jones home" imposed upon himself. He argued that such duties were Cousin Dick's, though he never told so. It would not have been pleasant to provoke him, and ifany thing could have offended Bachelor Brown mortal-, it would have been to insist upon him offering any gallant attentions to the softer sex. However, a day came which set the household in commotion. Miss Amanda Dove had been iuvited to spend a week with the Uinkles, and Miss Dove, being a stranger, was to wait at the station until some one came for her in a carriage. The lliukles resided some miles out of towu, and had not occupied their residence for many months, so that the people had not always been properly directed by their neighbors. It was decided that Mr. Hinkle should escort Miss Dove; but, before the day of the arrival, business had called that gentleman to Shitfield. Morover, Mrs. Hinkle had the influenza, and the two boys were at a boarding-scuool. No one was to be found to drive, and neither Bose nor Adelaide could handle the reins. Miss Dove was to come at nine, and what would she think of them if no one came for her? "Indeed," said Mrs. Hiukie. "it- would be shocking treatment for the dear girl. . I must ask your cousin Bichard." " You never dare, ma," said Bose aghast.. 'In such a case, you kuow " said Mrs. Hinkle. , . "He'll not do it,V said Adelaide. , , ' Of course not," said Bose. ' Mrs. Hinkle shook. her head. , , "I fear he will not," she said, and assuming an expression which would have done credit to Joan of Arc, mouuted the stairs to Cousin Richard's study. "Are you busy Bichard?" she said as she cutcred. ".Not at all; sit dowD," said Bachelor Brown. "You see how ill I am," said Mrs. Hinkle; "I Can hardly hold up my head, much less drive, and Mr. Hinkle is away, and the boys, too, aud no one cau handle the reius, aud- " "Weil," said Bachelor Brown. "And there is poor Miss Dove at the station, with her trunk, by this time," said ilrs. Hinkle, with a gasp.. "Ah!" said Bachelor Brown; .what a pity I" ":.': ! j;. ' Mrs... Hinkle felt she ihad not begun yet. Bachelor Brew r could not under stand what she wanted.. !. ,, . i v "It's a favor to ask,. I know," the said-, "but couldn't yon, just for once do it?" . . "Do what, - Maria?'.' eaid Bachelor Brown. Go for her," said Mrs. Hinkle. ' "For Miss Dove?" "Yes." "Oh, dear no!'" said Cousin Richard. , ."But " began Mrs. Hinkle. "Maria," said tiie old bachelor.1 "young ladies my little cousins excepted are my abomination. An affected, conceited, absurb set of creatures, I never had anything to do with 'em, and I uever will. No doubt she is capable of finding her way here; they all appear to be. 1 shan't go for her." Mrs- Hinkle retreated. "What will she think of us?" she said,' sobbing. "Don't cry,? said Bachelor Brown. I'll see ifany of the hands at Oats' place can drive over for b,er." ''

And out he went; bat all the hands on Oats' place were busy with the hay. which

stood in danger from a coming shower. Richard returned without th . least success.. - . . "A shower, too," said Rose. "Poor, dear, dear Amanda; I'll try what I can do with. my cousin.' And in the study she spent ai lour, teasing and worrying without effect. "Let ber get lost, " said Bachelor Brown. "No doubt she'd like it. And as for her trunk, why can't girls travel with a portmanteau, aa we do?" And Bose departed pouting. She fonnd Adelaide in an extremely merry mood. "Don't laugh," 6he said; "think of poor Amanda." 'I am thinking of her,", said Adelaide; and Cousin Dick shall go. I'll tell a fib." " "For shame!" said Rose. "Uoe ought to make. some sacrifices for a friend," said Adelaide. "I'll tell him she's a child. He's always good to children." "It will never do," said Mrs. Hinkle; "he'll never forgive you.'.' -. But Adelaide ran up to her cousin's study and burst in with an exceedingly theatrical laugh. "What a mistake," sho. said; "and so stupid in them all. You think Amanda is a grown yOung lady, don't you?" "Isn't she?" asked the bachelor. ' As if a child of nine years could be!" said Adelaide. "Poor little thing!" j "Poor little thing, indeed!" said the old bachelor, hurrying on his coat and hat. "Bless mev why didn't you mention it? Poor little soull" And in a few minutes the light wagonette was driven down the road, aud the Hinkles stood looking after it. "I'm half frightened," said Rose. "So am I,"( said Adelaide. But it's done, and can not be helped now. I'll manage to coax him to forgive me, and it Wouldn't do to leave a friend in such a po sition, you know, and 1 didn't say she was a child." Meanwhile Bachelor Brown drove to the station. ;. It was a loug drive over a bad road, but he kept on. his way very cheerfully.' He was extremely loud of children. - M hen on reaching the station, he saw no sign of her preseucs, he grew alarmed. If she had been lost through his neglect, he never could forgive himself. He ran his fingers through bis cuily hair, and peeped into the ladies' waiting room. Only a very fine, full-grown young woman sat there, aud Le retreated. The woman who waited in the apartment came out of her nook with a courtesy, as she saw him, and he addressed her: "Have you seen a little girl waiting for some one?" 'No, sir,' said the woman. There were two come down, but they are gone. "Oh, deal! oh, deai!" said Bachelor Btowu; "I hope their is no mistake. It's a little Miss Dove, and if the dear little girl has gone astray, I'm entirely to blame. Please make inquiries there's a good woman!" As he uttered these words, the fullgrown young lady was seen to blush violently and arise. "I'm Amanda Dove," she said, "and I expect some one from Mr. Hinkle V Bachelor. Brown stood aghast. He had spoken of his lady as a "dear little creature," and his face also turned scarlet. ; ' Is this your trunk, ma'am? ' said Bachelor Brown, iu a hurry. "Yes, sir," said the lady, looking down. And m a few moments the two were driving toward the Hinkle country seat. Never had Bachelor Brown luuad himself: so close to any young lady, save his ecus- j sins, before. He was wofully confused, j but somehow he liked it. How pretty she! was, he thought. How pink and white,! how golden her hair was. How the blue 1 ribbous on her bonnet set it off. Then he ' began to wonder w hat she thought of him. Wondering thus, forgot the road, and suddenly found that he had loot himself. -To add to the di'emma, the storm which had been threatening for hours burst at the very moment when Bachelor Brown found it impossible to tell whether the left road or the right led homeward; and the horseiwas afraid of lightning, and g:cw restive. Miss Amanda Dove wag afraid of lightning also. She gave a little scream, and clung to Bachelor Brown'scoat sleeve. Bachelor ' lirown looked down at her. It was such a soft, plump hand. Tier eyes were :' so round and blue, in her terror, that he - forgot she was a young lady. I'll fake care of you," he said; a flash of lightning, a roar of thunder an attempt' on the part of the horse to run away in j terrupted hira. Miss Dove turned pale.! Bachelor Brown looked terrified. He cast j a giance about him. Near the road was a parsonage, connected with its church by j a garden. j "I'll tell you what we'll do' he said, j 'We'll ask for shelter until, the storm is i over." A' clergyman ought to be Christian w....l.-fA-'.-.k. no : . J' V'l-1 '...'' 1 . :i CUUUii-AViacuniu. : . .... Arid driving to the gate, he asked Miss Dove to alight. As he did so, two hired men rushedout, and began to attend to ihe horse and vehicle, and an old lady and gentleman appeared upon the steps. "bo g-lad you're early enough to escape the worst of the toim," said the gentleman. "Do trome in," yattl tlrs old lady. We were expecting you; for, on such occasions, people always keep their appointments, raiu or sunshine, I believe." "What on earth does she mean?" said Bachelor Brown. "But it's very kind of them; ' and so, while the old lady hurried Miss Dove away to dry ber things, he sat with the old clergymau in the parlor. "Do you feel at all nervous sir?" said the old gentleman, after a pause. No, sir, thank you," said Bachelor Brown..-ri? "Most men do, sir," said tha clergyman. thinjjrtaid Bachelor Brown. '

I did out allude to the Me-rca. "Indeed, sir." "But to the approaching ceremony." "Eh? ' said Bachelor Brown. "In your note, you know, yon told -me that you were too nervous to stand before

the whole congregation in chnrcb, and preferred a quite wedding at my bouse," said the old man. Bachelor Brown stared at him in astonishment. . The truth dawned" upon him.. "You expected a young couple?" he said. "Oh, you are quite young enonghr sir," said the innocent clergyman. "And I must say the young lady seems a very charming person. ' Bachelor Brown felt himaelf blush. " -"Should yon think sbe'd make a - good wife?" he asked. - "Undoubtedly," said the clergyman. " "Aud you think a man is happier for entering the nuptial state?" be inquired. "No man can be happy without so do ing, and it is every man's duty," said the old gentleman, believing every word he said. "She is a dear little thing," thought Mr. Brown to himself. "I never liked a girl so mneh. It's very awkward to explain. I wonder whether " Aud just then Miss Dove entered the room, looking angeiic without her bonnet, to Mr. Brown. "I have something to say to you, Mir:s Dove," he said. "Dear rue," said Miss Dove. "They've made a mistake," said Bachelor Biown. "They think we -we we are people they expect. A a youug couple, you know, about to " "Oh, dear, do they?' whispered Mis? Dove. "Yes," said Bachelor Brown. "IJow, it would be very awkward for me to explain and I like you so much. Couldn't you like me, too, aud let him do it eh?" "Do what, Mr. Brown?" said Amanda. "Marry us," said Bachelor Brown. "Of course not," said Amanda. "What would the Hinkles say?" "J hey d be delighted, said Richard, growing bolder. Then he put his arm around her waist. "I don't know much about this sort of thing; but you are the only nice girl I ever saw. Please do, I'm not such a bad fellow. I'll be good to you." "1 know you are good," said Amanda; "but" "But then I'm ugly eh?" Eaid Richard. "Ah, no not at all.' "Web?" "It would be so odd."

"We've been so alarmed, said Mrs. Hinkle. But Amanda said nothing. Uncle Richard too shrank, as though he were afraid of something. "Tell 'em, Amanda," he said. "No, you tell them, Richard," said Amanda. Jl"he Hinkles listened in amazement. "What is there to tell?"' asked Mrs. Hinkle. "What is all this mystery about?" And Cousin Richard answered, sheepishly: "Nothing; only we ve been gef tins married. This is my wife, Mrs. Brown It was the only explanation ever offered. The Hinkles never comprehended it. It was always a mystery to them; and though they were profuse in (heir congratulation, and always continued (he best of friends, the fortune which might have been Hose's or Adelades rather troubled Mrs. Hinkle; and she always declared in secret family Councils that she was peifectly sure Uncle Richard married out of spite to punish Adelade for the trick she had played upon him. Trees by the Roadside and In the Pas ture. One of the easiest and simplest ways of j improving the appearance t t our highways, is by the setting out of shade trees, hedges, j and other ornamental shrubbery. There I are no more pleasant and delightful farm- j ing regions than those portions of Massa- j chusctts and Connecticut, and some see-, (ions of our own State, whcie the farmers, f for generations, have taken pains to pianti and keep in order these beaut ifiers of I heir j property. To those who have ridden, in the heat and dust of summer time, though 1 groves extending for miles along the road-' side boundaries of contiguous farms, we j need say nothing in their praise. They j are already convinced of their tatae, audj we doubt not ha-ve, or will, improve their! own farms in like manner. To those who : have not enjoyed the delight of riding i through (hese eool avenues, we have only j to say, improve yonr first opportunity of doing so, You can not fail to be pleased. with the result, even if you do not emulate the example of tho thrifty farmers whose lands you traverse, by plantiug trees upon your own soil. . Many who are thoroughly convinced of j the desirability of these roadside trees, 'do 1 not set them out, because, forsooth, they j will not overarch the highway, and attain j their full bsaaty,-before (bey shall have! passed beyond the reach of their sheltering ; shade. It is this more than anything el' ; se which keeps our midd e-aged, well- to-do j farmers, who have (heir lands paid for abundance of leisure, and can do it s well a ' not, from thus using measures for tbs orrra j mentation of their farms. It is an unman- ! y and selfish spirit which- will thus prevent j a man from doing a good deed which will: benefit his chiidren, for the simple reason! that it will not directly benefit himself, j Were this spirit trniversally carried out j our world would be a pooT place to live in.! We say by all means set out trees, plant ! hedges, and put your farms in a way of, becoming vastly more pleasant and attrac-' tiva than now, even if your lives will not

We car? not leave this snfijaot without saying ja word in regard to tLade trees in pastures Enough has been said upon thia subject of late years, by experienced and veil-informed dairy-men and atock-growers, to not only fully prove" their value, bnttoeW tablish the fact that they are absolutely indispensable to the comfort and well-doing: of the stock. The best way to meet - this; want, if there is nogrove of which the stock can have the beuefit, is to put trees in clumps in different portions of the paatare and fence them in until they have attained sufficient size to make them of use." No intelligent dairy-man will turn his cows into a pasture where they can find no sbI-! from the sun's rays, if he cau avoid it. T As to planting tree by the roadside, we should be glad to have our Legislatures, class the matter under the head of "internal improvement," and make it the aub ject of effective action. It is certainly matter ot suSiient importance to b wr' (by of their attention. Ulica Herald. ; i..ni Washington Correspondence New York Heraldi Bluff Ben. Wade at the White House His Opinion of Politicians Season-1 able Hint for the President. . . Old Ben. Wade, who had been up at Boston at the meeting of the Directors of. the Paci&c Railroad, came here yesterday1 on his way to his home in Ohio to see, a' he says' jocosely, how the Govern men truns without him. Being out of office he: hs no favors to ask, either for himself or, bi friends, and the doors of the various heads of departments open to him with' wonderful freedom. Old Ben. Wade paid1 his respects to the President while here, and they smoked a cigar together snd dis; cussed what u-igbt have been and what is. j When the impeachment trial was in progress no man was more confidant thai j Grant that Wade would be President iu place of Andrew Johnson, to be deposed ILe interview yesterday naturally touch-r ed upon this point; but Wade was not disposed to talk about it. lie therefore torned the conversation by asking Grant if k had got fairly into the harness yet. Grant) replied that he had, but added that the . Presidency was not what it was cracked up to be. 'Hard work, hard work, Wade" said the President, "and little thanks' and he took a strong pull at his cigar and 7 sighed as if" he regretted that he had been. -elected. , "That's been the complaint of every President,'' replied Wade, "and yel every politician in the country is crazy oa tawit subject of the Presidency. Why, Qenx eral, do you know lhat every man in the United States Senate wants to be Presi dent? and that's been the case from the beginning of the Government." Grant opened his eyes at this, and he seemed to! comprehend why the Senate was so capj tious with (he President. .' '1 find lhat I enn't please everybody ia 1 this office," observed Grant. "Of course you can't," responded Wade.; "I hope you didn't expect to do that." . ;.. t 'Well, no, not exactly,' said Grant, 'bus ; still I didn't expect it would be difficult to please them. I try to please.' i: " Well,' said Wade, 'if 1 were President I would take care of my friends who mademe President as well as I could, and let , the other fellows growl and go to the dev- . il. They would make a noise anyhow." " 'Suppose,' interposed Grant, 'jfo'tffl friends were exorbitant in their demands i upou j oU; what would you do then.' , f 'Well, 1 would do all I could for tbem and then, if they were not satiffied, I wouid tell them they might make the best out of it, said Wade. ''-' f 'How do you like private like, Wade", after beiug so long in the Senate?' asked j Grant. lt'sjust like a boy getting out of school said Wade. 'I have no bother with fef-'' lows running after nse for this, that and' ihe other thing, and can enjoy myself and t feel independent.' r Private life is the best, . I guess Mr. Wade," said Grant, 'there is more peace to 4 it, and then you are your own master. Well, 1 would be that anyhow," said Wud, with a dctiaut toss of bis massivo7 hed.
