Indianapolis, March 5. An important decision was rendered by the Supreme Court to day, the opinion bein!: written by Chief Justice Frazer, inyoking the question of the .power fla county to levy a tax to aid iu the construction of railroads, while the amount involved is also quite large. The County Commissioners of .Montgomery county, on lb2iHh of Jnnr1667, cjade an order donating $125,000 to the Indianapolis, Crawfordsville and Danville Ivailread 'Company, to be used in grubbios, gntdvafi-, 4rrdgig and putting '-'on he tics for the track of th road from CrawfjrisYille to Indianapolis, said money ot te be 4 for any ether purpose, and that said donation should be placed by company in Elsten's bauk, under the control of Maj. I. C. Elston, Sr., "and that not morn tha 50,000 shall be drawn out by said company until the entire line Is made ready For iron. And it ia further ordered that the County Auditor draw warrants on the County 'l'reetury lor 57,000 and deliver with the looJs and mortgages in his bands belongini to the county, amounting to G5,SP55'.', t Major I. C. Elston for the purpose named." This was done, and the Treasurer was paying money to Elston upon the warrant as fast as it came into the treasury. The relief Bought by the plain -till in the Court above, James F. Harney, a taxpayer if the county, was as injunc-i ti' u restraining the execution of the ordci if the Commissioners. The Court, however, sustained a demurrer to his com-1 plair.t, holding that the order was proper- j ly made aud should be executed. Judge ; Frazer, in his opinion, says: "The counties are corporations created j lor the purpose ot convenient local municipal government, and possess only such ;o.7?rs as arc conferred on Iheni by law.! i hey act by a Board of Commissioners, j whose authority is deliuC'' by statute. One j of the powers conferred is to col Let taxes , levied u: on the people and prof city with- ; in the county. In the disposition of (he oy 1 1. us collected into its general j in-a.-t.ry, the beard has not unlimited ilis-! notion ry ch-ke as to the objects upon j which it shall be expended. It can only ! ieapp.ieu to certain specified objects, and lietuiMing of railroads is not one of: tiie i.i-jei-ts, nor necessary to carry into tin l any ol the purposes for which such vrj rations were created. 'I he statutes defining the rowers', both I ci r; orate and judicial, of boards of County j tWn.issioiieis, enumerate the powers j .icn wiili care, so that theie is little room ! "r doubt as to the extent of those powers. j Jt the authority attempted to he exercised in this instance had been confcircd, the statute gi iiig it wmii-.l not have escaped the v'tei;tion i f ihe learned counsel repre Mi.tusg the apjeliecs, w ho.-e caicfu" y prepared printed argument so well attests the skill and industry to which the important iiiierc.-ts uf his clients have been commitUd. our Rut i.o such t-tatute is brought to attention. The initial point of the' aiur, cut is tAcu from Kent, viz: that! puliie corporations are such as are ere- i ated by the Government for political pur-' fescs, as ecu nttes, &e ; they arc iu voted wii'u Mihoidiuate legislative powers, to be j excictsed for local put roses, connected I stU th e i Kent. ' -. A further step in lhe process ol revhwirg is that appropriations for the yitf- '.',. may le u.uuo as incident to lhe: eljtet if the cicaiiou of such corporation,' unless such aj propriations are jnoh ,'' i t. urate or the Lonstiiution, and hually, li-at this, Iting for the publie good aud iu t prohibited, was therelore authorized, bitiiiis iiruiiiuent assumes at the start :.;t is not mie, us we think. While it! is undoubtedly true that municipal corporations, in common with all other in!iu:i;etialities ot goverumeut, are establihcd tor the public good, it is not true l!'"t tLey are ordinarily left at liberty to tieic;sc an unlimited disciotion iu accomplishing that object, nor that thev are oose i of that discretion unless there is an collect money by the imposition of tax- ! mini sovereign power, and it is not j ce assumed that the Legislature has I 'e;raied that power to municipalities for! oretionary purposes, when it has named !

It need not be contro- j v"cd that the Legislature could clothe ! antics with power to make such donahs as was here attempted. That is not i question before us.

That he has eudca voted to be loyal to the party none can deny. And more, we will say that in the main he has rendered satisfaction to the majority of his constituents. Notwithstanding all this the Republicans of the district now demand a change. Thev do this he- ! . cause they feel that they have conferred' these honors upon him as ol'icn andso long as he should ask or desire. If he were the only capable man iu the district, it would of course change the question. This how ever, is uot the case, nor his friends will be an insult to many Acittier Mr. Julian assret it. It would leading politicians of every county m the district to sav such a thing. There are other men just as capable, just as true, aud just as deserving as he. My Julian friends, is thcio any good reason lor keeping the same men in office all the time? and that too while there arc others, who are just as capable, sua ready aud willing to fill them?

It is a fact that many members of the Republican party voted for him at the.last congressional election under protest, with the understanding that he would not ask it of the again.

Simply a slight iullammation of the windpipe, just where the voeal-chorcls are drawn across the larnyx. At that point, the air-passage is narrowed to a mere slit, aud through this small aperture respiration is carried ou. II, now the ' sott tissues surrounding this aperture should swell, however slightly, the opening w ould oe uiuutusiied ui size, and res- j ph;itio:i more or less impeded. This is , reeisely what occurs in croup.

BIIOOKVILLE, IND., FRIDAY, MARCH 181870

In the liUtheran Church at Hageratowa, Md., a large hand is painted on the wall in the vestibule, pointing down to a spittoon, with the inscription: "Please leave your tobacco there.'' . - . A member of the Brooklyn i Woman's Club hit the nail squarely on the head a 1 few evenings since, when Bhe declared that one great need of women of the present day is more justice and charity for each other. 'Bill," said one apprentice to another, t "my boss is a better man to work for than your old man. My boss a'in't always round ui snop luieiienug uu uu own uusi ness. "I will have order!" shouted the captain of a schooner to his refractory cook. "If you won't cook the dinner, I'll do it myself. 5 1 will have discipline on board of this 'ere vessel!" "Mother," said Jemima, "Sam wants to come courting me to to-night." "Well, what did youtell him?" "Oh! I told him he might come. I felt anxious to see how he would act." A Chicago paper makes the following marriage announcement: "Pride Stillmau Ualena, November 8th. No cards, presents, 5000. Special train. Letters lroui Grant, Shermau and Sheridan." It is, sad to witness shown, even by the very the propensity young, to break the laws ol meum and tuuni. We saw a little rogue the other day, barely two years of age (ah! you may stare!) wha had his father's eyes and his mother's nose and chin. A prisoner, brought up before a police magistrate ou Christmas morning, pathetically said: "The city is a bad place; the whisky is stronger than that iu the country. I wish I hadn't left the country to come here. The country ia the best place for a man."

"But you will he made to stand it, my boy." "Oh! well, Grandma, if 1 cau only stand it, it's all right." A Horrid u.an expresses the opinion that uiviiii: the bailot to woman will noti amount to much, for none of them wi;lad - u;it that they are old enough to vote until they are too oid to take any interest in politics.

and may be carried bo far as to cause party also, and sometimes for six successive disruption. Hon. G. W. Julian tiai been years, before the grain is threshed, exvur congressman for tea years, or nearly amine and reject every bead that has an so The people, that a the majority . of, appearance a little different from the orig. the Republican party think he has had it jinal grain. " This practice must be followlong enough, and now demand that somejedup until the identity of the variety is other man be placed on the ticket to his so peraiaaently established that all the stead. We have always been a Julian heads will be uniform in every respect and man, and as such wish to investigate bow ' the kernels alike. The sole end and aim

tar the demand the people are making for i tu iigu id tji iuuu'jvu, a w emu woi have always been the trieod of Air. Ju - lian, and we are the same to-day; and can therefore deal fairly with him. There are a few facts that we will call the attention of our Julian friends of Union county too: First,- Mr. Julian is now and has been exceedingly unpopular with very many of j his party in the District." As evidence of this we need only state what you all know to be true, that at this last election many Republicans voted for him under protest, and with the understanding that he would not come before them again as a candidate, and they feel that to place his name upon the ticket and compel them to' vote for him again or refuse to support the -nominee would be an imposition. Second. He was bearly elected at any rate as the contest of Judge Rcid evidences and to nominate him again with unpopularity would be to jeopardize the Republican party of the District, aud this without any necessity. If Mr. Julian were the only man in the District who is capable of tilling the place, circumstances would be different. But such is not the case. It would be a slur upon the District to say so. Mr. Julian's warmest friends will tiot assert such a thing. There are many men just as capable as be is, and whose claims upon us are far greater. The third reason, for not nominating him, as urged by many, and that too with great plausibility is the desirableness of rotation in office in all Republican forms of government. It is a fact that almost any man will loose his interest in the masses by being kept iu office a series of years consecutively. This is Ihe case with county and state officers, who execute the 1 unctions of their offices in the very midst of their consti - i. f q ll.ia r.A will rM. !..- ; l. .-. tucnts. How much more will this be th casc when men hold and execute office re- j j moved far away from the men who gave it to them, luis continuance in omce engenders a spirit of dictation. It always lias done so. and always will. Take as an ! evidence of this the cause of the late rehellion and its terrible consequences. The South kept their men at Washington for years for almost a life time, and until they had lost all feeling for the people and knew only to dictate to them. They bad become our national bullies. When the people changed the administration and they were no longer to bo the .dictators they left tlv; Na tional Cap tal in disgust and attetnp cd the organization of a government of their own, and the war followed when many of our fathers, brothers aud sons bled and died. Had the great masses of the Southern people posscssd the sagacity to have seen the cousequences of such a course, and changed their Congressman at least n,.a:n9iiw ,ilft rpat nilt;,.n!, m:i,t , . , : , . . . . . averted, to a great degree at least Thu3 we see that Mr. Wilson's friends ... ., their c.aims are not with- " . out many sensible reasons for their course Now how far can we conceed to them their claims without any coaipromiso of principle on our part. Mr. Wilson is in every way as capable as Mr. Julian, lie will, if nominated, fill the expectations of his friends iu the canvass, aud if elected, and of this there could be no doubt, will as fully and constantly honor his party in the national Congress as Mr. Julian has done. The party cannot buffer by nominating and electing Judge Wilson. He is a popular man. ,He is perhaps the most popular man with the masses iu the distrct. He is Ihe people's man. Then we cannot compromise any principle iu giving our influence to Mr. Wilson. We wili loose nothing as men, or as Republicans, and will make a decided gain as a party. Mr. Wilson though an office holder has not been an office seeker. Let us give you the facts in this regard. In lboO, at the soiici,ati0Ils 0f his friends, he run for Com 1 mon Please Judge aud was elected.
