Road Law. he most important changes effected by the New Gravel Road Law are those re peeling the amount of subscriptions to ;ach road; whereas it was formerly 800 per mile, it is now three .fifths of the estimated cost of the com'straction of the road: the appointment - of assessors; whereas there were three for each road, there are .HOW three appointed for each j county; and when land is assessed for more than ne road, it allows doable or. treble time in which to pay the assessments. The new law is undoubtedly an improvement on - the old law, and will "probably give far mere latisfactioo in it practical operations. " The Grain Crops Abroad. -,;It is announced that Russia, hitherto one of the.largest grain supplying counli3 1 " V . 1 . - J the grain markets of Germany as a purchaser. This unusual circumstance is attributed to the short crops in Russia, rising not from a defective harvest, but from the result of emancipating the peasantry. The immense surplus, which heretofore made Russia the erranary of Europe, was produced by the large land Owners who worked the serfs up to their full capacity of labor. The serfs are now their own masters, and only cultivate enough grain to supply their own per sonal wants, and sometimes not even that quantity. The area sown in wheat is therefore gradually decreasing, and provinces which formerly were large exporters have for several years been obliged to import food. The Government also has been obliged to purchase and store up large e r, - . .,1 Kua u i iiics ui grain iu jiroviue against me ' consequences of the conduct of the emanci pated serfs. - Curious Vermont Institution.

The members of the Bar and officer of the Shelby Circuit Court, met at the Court House in Shelbyville on the 2nd iost., for the purpose of giving ' an expression of their feelings, touching the retiracy . from the Bench of said Court of Judge Jeremiah M. Wilson. -.. The resolutions are highly complimentary to Judge Wilson, commending his eminent legal attainments, i the dignity with which be discharges his Judicial duties, and his honesty of character. Strong regrets were expressed at' his retirement, but he was assured that in so doing he took with him the rich legacy of an honored name, and the kindest regards and best wishes of each member -of the meeting. Judge Wilson has great reason to feel honored by the universal approval of the members of the Bar in his district. Without, so far as our knowledge goes, a single exception, in either political partyi he has their entire confidence and respect. Greeosburg Standard. - The Fifteenth Amendment. From the Ohio StaU Journal. Let us have no slinking or dodging on the Fifteenth Amendment. It is the essence of what we struggled for during all these years. . Until this Government shall be iu fact what it has - always been in theory a government founded upon the consent of all the governed, irrespective of race, color, class, or religion our work is not completed, the job is not workmanlike. Give us this guarantee that every citizen shall have an equal consenting voice in the Government -and we rest. We believe that Congress, without the amendment, has the right under the Constitution to regulate the matter; but it is well to be secuie. We crtrry no additional weight in the Fifteenth Amendment.' "Every"' election1 far nearly ten years has been fu'igbt with this ultimate objective point in view, and nothing but the cowardice of milk-anJ-water Cotiser vativres has postponed it to fhe fall elections of 1SG9 to settle the question finally. It wilt be no great distance in the future when our children will look with aroag-jtnent upon this historical assertion that we, professing to be Republican, judged of a man's captcity apd right to vote bj his color, the kink of his hair, the width and elevation of his nose, and length of his heel, or the shape of his shin bone. - "' The fact that the present set of adventurers who are pretending to represent the legitimate government of Cuba, at Havana, do not represent the Spanish government in any respect, but forced the representative of that government to leave the country, (and who, upon doing so, said he sur rendered all of Spain's possessions in this part of the world,") has stripped them - of all sympathy from foreign nations, and it is now difficult to see why the Republicans should not be recognized by the government of the United States. Here is a letter submitted to the President, calling upon him to recognize them as belligerents: . 1 Because they constitute the entire native population, white and black, of the island. "2. Because they have maintained successfully their possession, for more than eight months, of far tuore than one-half of the Island. . i -: "3 Because they have organiaed a regular government, and are conducting hostilities in accordance with the rules of 'civilized' war. -i: "4. Because the alleged Spanish rule, so far as it extends in the island, ia not with the 'consent of the governed, '. is anarchical, under no legal or moral restraint, and sustained only by an uncontrollable mob, which disregards equally the au thorify of Spain, the requirements of law. the demands of justice, and the claims of humanity. . i 1 . "5. Because it is the duty Of the f United States as the 'head and front of Republicanism in the world, and the nattrrat leader of the Republican States of America, to foster, encourage, support, and propagate Republican institutions throughout the continent and its dependent islands." Journal. The telegraph adds a new hope to that created by the Allen and McCoole affair, that prize fighting is drawiug near its death in this country. Allen whipped McCoole terribly, indisputably, and yet lost the fight and the money. That is a settler for the business, but that reported this morning is as good. Maguire was killed by a blow from Donnelly, at Caynga Lake, on Saturday, in a prixe fight. No better termination of these brutal gladttorial shows could be asked, and all that decent people do ask is that more of them shall end in the same way. A duel" is better than a prize fight by just the increased chance there is that one or the other, or both, the parties will be killed, and the World be rid of-them. Journal. ?

eron, and consider thatT can view it in the light of reason and justice. " V Near the close of the Rebellion there was a Southern refugee (named Pardue) came into this neighborhood and represented himself td.'be: a minister, and,, by the way, preached very successfully for a while. After a time the Copperhead members became disgusted with the gentleman because he always offered, a prayer for those in authority and for . the success of the Union arms; They thought that at their next election for Pastor? they would oust him, but it proved to be the contrary. He was elected to nl! the pulpit on the fourth Sunday. During the year Pardue was called to fake a charge in Tipton County, and at once applied for a letter. It was granted, and he left lor the new field of, labo.ri Id the course of a . year Pardue returned and presented his letter for admittance to membership again in thi Church, He was rejected on account of Lis missionary views. Charges were broii-jlit that he had sold this church-out to. the Missionary Baptists. His political creed was also a great obstacle in the way of re adaiisffton. , , . Since that time there has been a bad feeting in the church. At every election since, a thorough canvass has been made, and every voter "brought to time." The Stout-Gouiie imbroglio has opened, the breach still wider, and will be the end of the. church relation, if the Thurstonian revolutionists persist in the way they have begun, as the following will show. At their church meeting in April, the election of Pastor resulted as foliows: : FOR SKCOND SCNPAY. One Pastor, EtJer Joab Stout, w 23 ' " A. L.

But let us take it as tlC' . 'J harstoniaus wish to make it aprcar. Take Thurston's, vale for the, 2nd a nd .4th Sundays, and add to his vote lor 2nd Sunday, and Stout has still . one-halt a. vote of a majoritv vet. lutirsfon.su votes win only count for the 2nd Sunday, because he is voted for ,10 fill the -pulpit on 'two- Sabbaths instead ofi one. " -"' ' ' ii.e i iiurstortr-jn Aiiti-Xissionarv L opj.erhead' 'element, 'hot satisfied with the result, passed a resolution at their May meeting that at the June meeting they would have another' election for Pastor. They carried their intention into execution. A thorough canvass was made, as ninth so as in a political contest. Some of the members spent a week or more riding about urging members to come out." The June meeting was opened by Rev. 6louir ficr which J. P. Brady read the rules 6f the" Church. Then E. II. Shirk tasked the prn.'ee of presenting a pro test of 50 members gainst enfenne into a rc-eleciiori of J'astor- the former election was legal; and further, that there had never been any' motion to reconsider the former action of the Church; therefore. Piirliameutarv -usSrB was thrown asiu and the minority were trying to override j the majority.. - ' ' Tiro protest was received. The Thurs-I tonians then pressed the resolution for j taking a vote On Pastor. 'It was declared : bv the loderafor to ho nut r,f nnlsr A t motion was then made to adjourn, which was carried.. The Revolutionists then took possession and'"' went ' through the farce of electing a Pastor for 2nd and 4 h Sundays; also the appointment of Messenger to' the Association.' The meeting wa closed by singing that old hymn, ''Am I a Soldier of the Cross?'' itc. . This was very appropriate, if it only touched the heart." . Thus the Church is divided into" two parties, hot u' claiming the Church property; and two Pastors, both elai ruing the 2nd Srtnday in each month. ' The law and evidence will decide the former, and the latter may probably be decided by " physical fotce. '-Let justice be done, f hough the heavens fail."

Editor: Just as I was leaving my home yesterday morning, a fiiend handed me a copy of jhe Diily Indianapolis .Journal of that date, containing some very hspicy proceedings of the Vv oman's Rights Convention then in session in that city. I was particularly struck by the reported statement of Mrs. Hwank, that your llepresentative in Congress has proved himself 'treaeherous, U not false, fay declining to sign the call for that convention., This sounds lively. It looks like business, and is prophetic of a career. . I must beg leave, however, to suggest that the logic of this statement admits of serious question. Indeed, I think the premises and the conclusion could honestly quarrel with each other and separate. A man who conscientiously espouses a good cause must be accorded some little judgment and discretion, as to the time and manner of serving it, and tho extent to which his connections with other good causes and the pressing . . - -iconcerns oi private o,,ues8 may properly govern.hw action.

Perhaps it was the awe-inspiring effect of the music; but it i a mat tt r of hitory t hat the Titsi lient's principal rccupatiou, during the performaiice, was to admire the. polish of his loots.

Lots of ladies, young and old, attempted to kits him, or at least to grasp one of his hands. When they succeeded in doing either (not very often), their delight was extravagant, aud one gutting being of some fifty years informed the crowd that he was ' real handsome." The President smiled, and the crowd laughed aud then hurrahed. Among the lookers-on, taking a penand'ink sketch of Grant, was. Miss Kate Field. Miss Field is very proud of being a reporter, orreportress (whichever If may be), and wears her press badge conspicuously pinned on her breast. . iShe ft as dashing and vivacious as ever," and dresses in the most approved style. Her natty little note book is perpetually in her hand, and when she sees anything of note out peeps a pencil from her fingers and quick as a flash it is entered in her note-book. She bustles around everywhere and shakes her curls, sees everything and doesn't care for anybody. A lively specimen of Young (Lady) America is Miss Field. Fi'libusters Indicted. .. New York, June 17.
