Treasurer of Stale. Several weeks since we gave our cordial cr-.dorsemeat for the pomlnattoo of A. D. !,vnchKq for the o.Tice of Treasurer or State on the Republican ticket, soon to be placed bvlore the people. Every week hfs brought new and decided expressions in favor ef his nomination, and judging from the stand taken by the press so generally, which is au expression of the wish of the people, we confidently expect his

nomination, or, at any rate, he will have great strength in the Convention. Relow wo give a few of the many en dorseu.cnts of the Pi ess of the State in favor of his nomination Tor Treasurer of State. In addition to these, like favorable notices bave been made by the papers of Ohio County, Ripley County, Monroe County, Sullivan County, Bartholomew County, Hendricks County and others: Mr. Augustus D. Lynch, of Shelbyville, is prominently spoken of in connection with the Republican nomination for Treasurer of State. He already has the cordial support of the Shelby Republican, Rrookille American, Greensburg Standard and Piess, and several other papers. Mr. Lynch is Cashier of the First National Hank of Shelby ville, a?d is highly spoken uf as a man of financial ability and well qualiGed for the position of Treasurer of State. As Shelby lias never yet had a iilace on the State ticket, and has always fought gallantly for the Republican cause, although in the minority, it would be good policy to give l.er a lift. While it is tight to encourage counties that give decided Republican majorities, it is not rtiiht to ignore those in the minority The claims of the latter should be care fully considered, as, by so doing, they are stimulated to work batder for -redemption. Morgan to. Gsaette. The name of Mr. A. D. Lynch, Cashier of the First National Rank of Slielbyville is prominently mentioned in connection with this ufiiee. He is a man of superior Knancial ability, and of blah moral stand ing. So far as we have heatd any ex pressions, as between the aspirants yet before the public for that tosition, Mr Lvneh has the preference. Ho is person ally known to a number of our citiiens, and their testimony as to his fitness for the trust, will doubtless give him the strength of Decatur. LGrecnburg Stan dard. Mr. Lynch, of Shelbyville, is highlyspoken of and warmly urged by bis friends in Eastern Indiana, for the position of Treasurer of State, on the Republican ticket. Ihcre is no candidate from this county, within our knowledge, for any poMtion on the ticket except lor Superm tendent of Public Instruction, which will doubtless be filled by the present incum bent, Htrnabas C. Hobbs; hence for the former place, Aayne county will bo at liberty to cast tier vote as she may tutnk for tVe lest interest of the party and the Urn Mr. Lynch is highly spoken of by those who ktiow him be..t, and is asking the support of those who feel free to give it He is a popular man, and an energetio worker, besides in every way qualified for the pos-iiioo. Cambridge City Tribune The Shelby Republican (Shelbyville) brings Torwaid and urges the name ol Augustus D. Lynch, of that place, as a gentleman every way suited for the nomination of State Treasurer by the Republi can Convention. Mr. Lynch is not as yet extensively known among the politi eians of the State, but this detracts not the least from his ucrits. lie is a staut ch Republican, an accomplished gentleman, of high literary attainment, of unquestionable integrity, honest and capable. Should he secure the nomination and election, he will be a credit to the party and a faithful servant ol the public. J Lawrenceburg Press. We notice that some of our exchanges have brought forward Augustus D. Lynch, Ksq , of Shelbyville, as a candidate before the Republican State Convention for the nomination f Treasurer of State. Mr. Lynch is well known throughout SouthEastern Indiana as a gentleman of fine abilities, thorough culture, and inflexible integrity. In whatever position be has i been placed he has honored the position by faithful discharge of duty aud sedulous devotion to its interests. He has given no halting support to the Republican j cause, but has given time and money and j his best energies to insure its success i He is no professional politician, and has never aspired to, or held a political position.

The House of Representatives was occupied on Saturday in speech-making, the ; feature being a speech by Golladay, of Kentucky, iu favor of repudiation. A bill abolishing the franking privilege passed the House on Thursday by a vote of IT 4 to II. It provides that alter July first noiftntj tcfutUvcr shall go through the mails free. The United States Supremo Court sus tained the decision of the District Court j of Missouri, in the case of F. P. Blair, I declaring be must take the test oath provided by the State Constitution. The case cf Mississippi will probably come before Congress this week, and no one is known to intend to object to the immediate admission of the State, though some Senators talk of attaching the same conditions as iu the case of Virgiuia. The last span of the Ohio River bridge at Louisville was completed Monday afternoon. The length of the bridge, exclusive of approaches, is one mile. It has two main spans, one of three hundred and seventy feet, and the other of four hundred feet, and a draw over the canal. The time occupied in its construction was iwo years and six months.

The only candidate of any respectabil

ity ou the Democratic State ticket, Col. Eddy, has declined to run, This leaves them in hot water, and they are eagerly hunting up some available man to take his place. The Secretary of the Treasury has di rected the -Assistant Treasurer at New York to sell one million in gold each week during the month of February, and purchase one million in bonds on each alter nate week, on accountof the sinking fund. Information from Topeka is to the ef fect that evidence of a startling character in reference to Senator Ponieroy will be produced before a committee of the Legislature, to investigate charges of corruption against our Congressional delegation. The two Houses of the Iowa Legisla ture have settled their differences on the loth Amendment by adopting the report of the Committee on Conference. The amendment is, therefore, finally adopted by the State. The Georgia House, by a vote of CG to 5G, decided to qualify and scat those per sons who received the next highest vote to those members who were delared ineligible and those whose scats were delared vacant by uen. lerry. iMne members were sworn in, of whom three were colored. WIN The examination of Corbin, before the Gold Investigating Committee, was continued on Thursday. The committee re fuse to publish his testimony yet, but say it entirely disproves the statement that the President or any of hia family were con nected with the conspiracy. Senator Morton intends, so soon as the financial question is disposed of, to intro duce a bill punishing persons holding of fice in violation of the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment. It will interfere very materially with the present distribu tion of offices in Kentucky. The Southern Congressmen are much pleased at the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of an officer in the army who destroyed certain property in Missouri. This will end a vast number of cases in Southern courts, and exonerate army officers. All of fashionable New York is nuar reling over the distiibution of two hundred and eighty tickets to a select ball to bo given in honor of Prince Arthur. The ball Is being gotten up by thirty-six gentlemen, caoh of whom is allowed eight tickets for distribution. A prominent Senator has given a cer tain Kentucky politician assurance that the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment will soon be proclaimed, and advising an immediate organization of the negroes in Lexington aud other Kentucky cities, to secure a Republican victory at the March election. Latest advices from Havana confirm the accounts of the victory of General Jordan over the army of Puella. The latter, fall, ing tn his attempt upon Gudimara, has retured to Puerto Principe. His loss is put down at four hundred killed and wounded. General Jordon has superseded Quesada as chief in cemmand of the forces. insurgent The House Judiciary Committee has agreed to recommend the passage of a resolution restoring to Mrs. R. K. Lee certain articles formerly the property of General Washington, which were removed from Arlington early in the war and deposited in the Interior Department. These relics consist of the General's camp equipage, china ornaments, Jte. The Senate Finance Committee bave agreed upon their funding bill. There are to be three classes of bonds, payable, principal and interest, in coin. One class to run forty years at 4 per cent., one thirty years at 4 per cent., and one I twenty years at 5 per cent., each class amounting to fourteen millions, and redeemable after ten vears. The House Military Committee are ready to report the Army bill. In addition to the particulars already given, it cuts down the pay of general officers materially. .Generals are to get $12,000, Lieut. Generals 510,000, Major Generals 57.500, and Brigadier Generals $5 000. Otlicers on duty in the field bave a slight increase in pay, and those in cities a de crease. All commutations, except fuel and forage, are abolished. The Indian and Territorial Committees of the House are considering bills for the government of the Indians. The plan is to create a Territory out of the Indian Territory, and have a Governor and Council. The latter i-t to be elected by the Indians, each tribe to have at least one member, and every male Indian over twenty-one is to have a vote. The Council is to have the same powers as a Terri torial Legislature. It is probable one of these committees will report favorably on this plan, and the prospects for its passage by the House seem good. The negro Revels, recently elected to the United States Senate from Mississippi, used to be a Methodist preacher, and some of our citixens remember that several years ago he preached in Vevay. He is a tall mulatto, and a man of good sense. Vevay (Ind.) Democrat. The Connersville Examiner howls because another candidate for the Democratic Congressional honors dares have his name presented. Judge Reid will soon be as prosctptive as his present opponent. Cambridge Tribune.

General News Summary. The Pope has issued a decree severely

denouncing the Fenians. A salute of one hundred guns was fired in Richmond, in . honor of the admission of Virginia into the Union. The Pope being very uneasy as to the views ot the trench kmperor on the question of infallibility, has sent the Archbishop of Algiers to Bee him about the matter. On Sunday, the 16th, on the plains of the Northwest, the mercury sank to 45 degrees below eero. A number of persons in the vicinity of Fort Abercrombio were froien to death. The validity of a divorce obtained un der the laws of Indiana is a question now in dispute before the Probate Court of Middlesex county, Massachusetts. The discussion on the franchise ques tion closed in the Tennessee Constitutional Convection on Thursday. The proposition to submit the question of colored suffrage to a vote of the people separately, failed. Yeas 20, nays 54. The amendment retaining colored suffrage will bo adopted by a decided majority. The Pope having announced that a commission of theologians will be organised to answer 'questions propounded by Protestants who may visit Rome during the sitting of the council, many of the clergymen of the Church of England have delegated three of their colleagues to repair to Rome to discuss with the commission points of difference between Catholics and Protestants. The Legislatures of Iowa, Kansas and Wisconsin have each elected a woman as engrossing clerk. Prince Arthur arrived in New York on Saturday. He is to be dined by several prominent citizens, and was to undergo a ball on Tuesday night. It is reported that the Pope has yielded to the wishes of Emperor Napoleon, and abandoned the project of announcing the dogma of personal infallibility. The remains of Generals Rousseau and Watkius were buried at Louisville, Sun day afternoon, with civic and military honors, the procession beirg very large. A private letter from one of the American Bishops, now at Rome, says there is no probability that tha Ecumenical Coun cil will accede to the demands of the Pope in regard to various points, and especially the doctrine of infallibility. A Western paper talks in this way: "If you owe but a single dollar, go and pay it; when there is so little money we ought to keep it moving around lively. Jim owed us, and we owed Bill, and Bill owed Jim. Jim got mad because we made him pay one morning last week, but we paid Bill, and Bill paid Jim, and Jim went to bed as happy as a clam, with just as much money as ho had in the morning, and three men were out of debt." The Boston Watchman and Reflector, in criticising the Christian Union, Henry Ward Beecher's paper, departs from the appropriate field of criticism to give this estimate of Mr. Beccher: "He is too impulsive. He is too sentimental. lie is too loose. Ho is too redy to surrender truth." Mr. Beecher tueekij accepts the rebuke and promises amendment, in spying in the following number of the Union: "We shall take it to heart, and strive henceforth to be slower, dryer, tighter and more obstinate." The National Executive Committee of colored men met in Washington last Thursday. They reported that the condition of affairs as regards the claim of the colored man to full political rights was most encouraging. They also congratulate the colored people of the United States on the prospect of the early complete ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and express the hope that they will prepare themselves to properly exercise the great blessing when it does come. Hall op Metamoba Lodge, No. 156, i r. & A. M., Metamora, Ind., Jan. 25, 1870, A. L. 57S0 To the Editor of the Demoerat: The correspondent of the American, Milt,' through malice or some other mean and contemptible cause, has seen fit to furnish that paper with an account of our festival, held here on the 2ath ultimo, which acccount appeared in its columns of the 7th instant, and as said account not only reflects discredit and disgrace upon us as a Lodge, arid the Fraternity at large, but also upon that ext.omely large and re spcctable company of ladies and gentlemen from our town and vicinity; also those from our villages who favored, and highlyhonored us with their presence at our annual and kindly greeting. In the character of Masons we utter this our protest, and condemn the scurrilous and slanderous account of our feast, bv this unprincipled and sacrilegious correspondent, who, with his hypocritical cloak, would tteal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in." Yet, when we pause and reflect over this mean, cowardly wretch, we have but to sympathize with him in his deplorable and lamentable condition, affected as he is with caeathes scriltenJi, (which being in terpreted, meaneth an itch for scribbling.) to circulate deceptive rumors among the people, and with no perceptible chance for his recovery, we consign the worthless remains of this dire calumniator into the! hands of his Satanic master, to continue on in his dirty work. As the dog returns to his vomit, so will it be with 'Milt' to return to his. Another correspondent, 'II. from Blooming Grove, in a recent issue of that paper, upon the testimony of 'Milt', also spits out his venom, and denounces us as propietors of a 'drunken dance, &o.' For the present, we have no reply to make to II. Had tho festival been conducted and ended as 'Milt had protrayed it. and 'U,' living at a distance of seven miles from here, and he not being present, we exer

cise the broad mantle of Masonic charity in his case, and would suggest to him that

bercatter he knows whereof he writes be fore he attacks an institution professing Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love. As Masons, we say to H.' that we would not countenance or encourage any spree, feast, or festival, that would bring disgrace upon our time-honored institution, which we prize' and as highly honor as 'H.' or any other member of our Fraternity. The matte ends with us as a Lodge. IJ order ot the Lodge. T. N. Thorp, Sec'y. From Metamora. Correspondence of Indiana American. Metamora, Jan. 3lst, 1870. Ma. Binguam, Dear Sir: I am under the necessity of again aosweringa slanderous article which appeared in the columns of the Democrat of last week under cover of the Masonio Order. It is an imposition, I think, upon all good Masons and upon the Fraternity at large, to have such an article as that to appear before the public; because I tan very credibly informed that quite a number of Masons living in the country and some living in town were not so much as notified of the fact that the Lodge was going to reply to my article. And what a reply it was! Who could not write such a protest as that? Any little Bchool-boy that walks the streets of Metamora or stands ujion its street corners can hear enough elaug and low unbecoming language from these same Masons to en able him to write an article as full of slander and soft sickly sentences as the Order or protest of Metamora Lodge (?) contained. In all that I have ever said concerning this affair, t have never uttered a word against the Order of Masonry or against auy good Mason living hero or elsewhere. But I am aware that we have some men living in our town who are usurping the mantle of Masonry to carry out aims that are in direct opposition to all of the teachings of that tiuie-houored institutions. The time has come when that snored Order should bo divested of cverthing that would throw the least shadow upon its sacred and holy teachings; and if such an action was taken wo would have here in our midst an Order that could expel or do Something with members that get drunk r that sell liquor for the purpose of luAing their fellow-men drunk. But under the present state of affairs such cannot be done here, on account of the disposition of n majority of the members, and the good Masons are gradually drawiug off and leaving them to serve the devil aloue. In their article dated the ''25th of Jan uary" they do not attempt to reply to anything I said iu my reply to "T.," iior do they ask me to prove my assertion that 1 have made. It is true they have btanded me as a liar, which to the minds of some would be enough to bring forth proof tor the substantiation of what 1 an id. But I view it in a very different light. First, if I bring proof it will not only be placed in the papers of our County, but it will go into the hands of persons who will investigate the standing of theso persons as Masons, and thereby make me some personal enemies. Secondly, I have ascertained that persons from adjacent tomtuunities who arc acquainted with the tacts connected with the affair, do not ask tue for any more proof than has been given. And thirdly, the fact that there were almost as many persons engaged iu writing "T.V article that were members of the Lodge as it took to write the protest of the Lodge, and that never once did they ask me to give them the proof that I offered, is enough to convince any one that they were afraid to have certain facts brought to light that these proofs would contain. It is a very easy matter to call n man a liar, and thereby make a bold front, but it is not so easy to prove him a liar; and 1 defy them to prove that when 1 say the affair was disgraceful, and that there were at icast a dozen drunk persons at their ball, that I iC'l a lie. 1 must say, when I read their protest 1 felt very much lile goingout to "my vomit," for with my dere for scribbling I must scribble that 1 regaru it as a great many others do, as the very sonest, sickliest, most contemptible thing they could have done, for seven or eight of them under the name of the Metamora Lodge to issue such a protest as that. It reminds me very much of the old fable, when the pig excrescence floating dawn the river with the apples, exclaimed, "see! how we apples swim!" I must say, also, as they direct a few words to "11." of Blooming Grove, that "H." is perhaps better posted in regard to their Supper than they imagine he is, and that if they measure the mantle of charity with which they intend to cover him, by their conscience and moral actions, it will scarcely be sufficient to shield him. In conclusion, I will say that I will not answer any more articles, unless it is one by order of the Lodge, asking me to prove my assertions, when I will bo very willing to do so. And now, "vouchsafe thine aid, Almighty Father of the Universe,' to these few lines, "arfTl grant that" these immoral Masons "'may dedicate and devote" their lives "to thy service, and become true and faithful' brethren "among us. Endow" them "with a competency of Thy divine wisdom, that by the secrets of" their "art" they "may bo better enabled to display the beauties of Lrtherlg love, refit' aou truth, to the boner tf Thy lady name. Amen.' Ai-onzo M. Dawson. The Republican majority in lniiana, in 1SHG, was over 20.U00, but in IStiS it tva tapered down to about 1,000, on Governor. It wiil not require much whittling on the part of the Democrats to dispose of that email remnant this fall. Cincinnati Enquirer. Don't be too hasty with your calculations, dear Enquirer. In politics the past is no indication of future events. Two years ago the Democrats of your own State had both houses of the Legislature. This year it is the other way. 1'olitical successes are similar to "now you pee it, now you don't see it." In liGti our majority was heavy; in 1SGS it was light, aud in 1870 it will be heavy again. Several things will kelp to make the Republican majority heavy. The Democrats I have a. weak ticket; the Rcpublicaus will have a strong one. The Germans, a strong element in the State, are dissatisfied because the Democrats did not put a German on the ticket, and did put a thrice defeated Irishman on. They will not soon forget the defeat of Stoll, a talented German, and the nomination of Ryan, an ignorant, blushing, Irish whisky dealer. The German eloment of Indiana or at least the

intelligent portion of it ia not "cheek by jowl" with the Democratic party this vear. You will see that it requires con

siderable whittling to whittle the Republican majority down to defeat. Anderson Herald. For the American. Wilson or Julian. The Republican papers throughout this 4th District, with one exception, (the Richmond Radical,") are unanimous in urging the claims of Judge Jerry M. Wilson as the most available candidate for Congress in the next campaign. Judge Wilson is well and favorably known in this section of the State, having served a long time as Judge ol Common Pleas and Circuit Courts. By his eminent ability and honest, impartial discharge of his duty, he bus won for himself the confidence and esteem of all who know him, irrespective of party or position in society. Wilson as candidate for Congress would unite all the discordant elemeuts of the Republican party, Julian and anti-Julian, Radical and Conservative. Not only that, but doubtless he would receive a respectable vote from the War Democrats, as he did when he was elected Circuit Judge. Hi uame on our ticket would be a tower of strength on the Republican bide, and would drive terror into the ranks of latterday Democracy. No one would seriously doubt his election by a large majority, whether the Fifteenth Amendment is rati fied or not the only hope Mr. Julian has to cling to, prof ided he receives the nom ination. It would be unjust to blame the Rich' vwnd Radical for urging the claims of Hon. G. W. Julian, he (ibe editor) being a brother to George and holding the office of Post Master at Richmond,, not by the will of the Renublicaus of that city, but by the grave of his brother George, it being a cardinal principle with the Julian family to hold on to the public teat until choked off; aud as they seldom die-and never resign, the people of Richmond will be sure of him as Pott Master so long as George can be kept in Congress. But the Republican party can't afford to place itself in such imminent peril to accommodate Mr. JuJUu tui.vi his immediate frien Js. It ia well known that Hon. G. W. Ju-lia'.i-has made himself odious to a large and respectable number of Republicans; so much so, that they uniformly scratch his nacne from their ticket. These men are not merely disnrpoimcd politicians, but intelligent, influential fanners the t-jlid men of the country. Mr. Julian couid stand considerable of their displeasure wiiilnt ho was running in the Old Burnt Disiiiat but since Henry Countyhas been lopped off and Democratic Franklin hitched on, tho result ol the last election should have tj-jht Li ui tint he was not the light ma:, having run 210 volts behind lilt) ticket. i: hia own County,, without counting the South' Precinct which he hud thrown out. Many Republican n tho County, ut' Franklin. w.uiUd not have voted fur Juiiuo, had it not been for the pussure thrown upon them by the platform of the New Yolk Couv en tic-n, which was made by such men as Hampton, Forrest and oilier libel chiefs, with Seymour and Blair as candidates. Should Julian be thrown upon the people as candidate for Congress, Lcse men iu Fayette and Wayne win not vole for him, and the pressure being .removed, scratching will become coutuious throughout the lis trict. Wo intend bo disrespect to Mr. Julian by ibis, but think the interest of the great Republican party greater thau the interest of any individual. Republican. Laurel, Jan. 31st, 1ST0. Jlr. George V. Julian has htcly been pic'i. In u GiMieral Order published in the Richmond Radical, of the i!7ih iost., and auJrcssed "to the people of the Fourth Congressional District," he announces that he has decided to recover. The gratification we feci at this statement is ton:c what ahattd when vre learn lhat he husalso decided to bear the standard of the Republican party in the Lest campaign. He ivs: 'Mv decit-ion t tt is ma Iter, I dare sa', will not he entirely satisfactory to ccrfaiu politicians itd nvw snipers in he district ai."l ul ' ' '" e alrc saJ JuliaH is qui.'e correct. As ir the little matter of the nomination, Mr. Julian has made up his mi;i.' ,;al il ,e "Hied by a popular vote, ti' lliC r6t Monday iu April. The order then proceeds t congratulate the author, ile is well known 10 his constituency, he nays, and his ponderous exertions in behalf of himself hae been' duly appreciated. The outrageous attempts ot some opponents to secure for another person the place Mr. Julian now so comfortably fills, will prove hereafter, as they have in days betore, unavailing. At least this is what we judge Mr. Julian thinks, for he says that ''he no longer hears it urged that the principle of rotation in office should thrust him aside for a new man, necessarily less trained in the duties of legislation, aud less, certaiuly, trustworthy on the sure test of actual trial." lie "takes leave, also, to repeat what he said in a circular to the people two years ago, that he; has been constantly growing more available." hich assurance is certaiuly calculated to iuspire in all his constituents the liveliest salit-faction and solemn thankfulness. We trust no one wiil be so lost to all sense of gratitude as to think lhat it would have been more modest in Mr. Julian to let some friend state this palpable fact for him. The order concludes with a brief and touching allusion to Mr. J ulian's land policy. It is quite an entertaining piece of readinsr.
