It is a fact, patent to tho most obtuse observer, that the Democrats most ardently desire the nomination of Mr. Julian. And yet for this state of affairs we are not disposed, to hold hint criminally responsible. Personally he is more objectionable toothers than Judge Wilson, and, politically, thej have, no sympathy with bis principles. ButVhereis where the trouble begins i'V..

Should they do so, they should i meet with such a rebuff as will forever cure i them of such officious intermeddling. The ballots of none but known and acknowledged Republicans should be received, and the Judge who permits others to vote is not only derelict tn duty, but proves that he has not the welfare of the party at heart. " The Railroad Meeting Whicb. was held at the Court House on Monday last, adopted measures for securing the proposed Louisville & Sandusky Railroad on the route through Brookville. See proceedings published elsewhere. Committees, it will be seen, were appointed, composed of men who intend to work energetically until stock is subscribed sufficient to insure the early organization of a Company in this State. A preliminary survey of the route should at once be made. Let every one interested be ready to meet the Committee with an encouraging response, by subscribing liberally and promptly, and thus. secure this all-important line of . communication, which will no donbt prove an inestimable benefit to our town and county. ' The time for talking is past; let us now go to work with a will. Hoi fer the new Railroad! Vote in Your Own Township. The Judgesof the Nominating Election will be'ar in mind that they must conform ta the rules governing ordinary elections, so far as the same may be applicable. An important one is that which restricts each voter to his own Township. If this were not enforced, the friends of a candidate . largely in the minority in every Township might, hy a concentration of their forces, carry- several Townships in the County. No mao should be permitted to vote except In the Towuship of which he is a resident. t The' -Radical", (Julian orcsn) of Rich- . tuond in its last issue contains a lengthy account of a meeting of colored citizens ot New Garden Township in Wayne County, held on the 16?h tf March.

Brother Gsorge has been in Congress ten years, and is a Radical; but the men who voted for him heretofore must not hereafter favor a good, staunch Republican like Judge Wilson, for if they do they are toot fit to be trusted.

The Radical says Mr. Lacey was tho sworn enemy of Mr. Julian and Judge Johnson.

The Radical complains very bitterly of j the Cincinnati Gazette, because it is pub lished out ot this District, and has had the audacity to comment on the fitness of Mr. Julian to be the Republican nominee for Congress. The Cincinnati Chronicle has done the same thing and the Radical has never uttered a word of complaint about it, but on the contrary thanks the Chronicle for its sympathy, interest, &c.

Five hundred more Radicals came down last Saturday.

If Isaac would only take our advice, we would say this county will be overwhelmingly if nt .unanimously for Wilson, and if Isaac would cover the whole surface of the county ten feet deep with Radicals the result would not be changed.

It has frequently been asserted by Mr. Juliau's friends that Judge Wilson mat tut be more "available" than Julian, and, a day or two since, we were shown an autograph letter of Mr. Julian, which he is circulating through the District, in which he himself makes the same threat.

Board of Commissioners "ReforrrV-Jt tho Word. Mr. iifoi Through the columns of your paper 1 learn that our economical Board of Commissioners have determined to build a Bridge across-the East River, eor below the crossing of the Hamilton F6ao71fhere" three triages Tut T"aTfea-ay washed away, instead of the location petitioned, for by a large number of the tax payers and citizens directly interested, TOhiekv petition was 7 presented at the last session of the Board. The location of the Bridge aa made by the Board, and the-e jction of the prayers of the petitioners a that case, is, to say the least- of it, an outrage, and calls loudly for correction, for tne following reasons: , ; ;t v,. lMrst. Ihe location prayed for 47 the petitioners will fully, and without any inconvenience to any one, accommodate, all the travel on both the Oxford fend Ham ilton roads. . Secondly. The Ideation of the Bridge as now made, leaves unaccommodated all the travel on the Oxford roacL which is quite as much as that ever tho Hamilton road. " - 7, - ? f-.. ..... Now the traveler ver! the Oxford-road is .as much; entitled to a bridge as any ooe else, and must have it, which will cost the County $25,000. Add to this sun $15,000 for the Bridge at the crossing of, the Uamtltion road, and we have the sum of $40,000 for Bridges at or near the town of Brookville, (making four in number,) and the balance of the County are to do with out. . . ? : - But this is not all. As before stated. one Bridge can be made to answer every convenience of travel on both roads; and this at a cost of 52o,000, which saves to the tax payers of the County, the tarn of 515,000 at the outset and the risk of on Bridge .washing away. Plainly, frankly and emphatically, such . a scoop-shbve't ' manner ot. throwing away the people s money by the present Board, in order to pander to private interest, and secure a renomination for the office they have dia graced, will not be tolernted. J Again: Look at their action in reference to the Cory (Fairfield) , Bridge. , That Bridge, if they put it upon a foundation bo that it will not wash away, will directly Dcncut Mr. Cory by increasing the travel upon his road, and iu the same proportion increase his tolls, In that case, why did not the Commissioners read a little farther iu the statute, and leara that they had authority to charge toll on tho ; Bridge themselves, and thereby secure to the peo. pie in part what they .had expended, instead of enriching Mr. Cory at their expense? Possibly they do know it is the law, but that Mr. Cory charged that "favor" fur his influence in securing their "renomination. ' But what else can be expected from the man who owns a farm adjoining the Poor Asylum, who has drawn more money from the County treasury (for big kettles and little loads of wood, and one worthless trap and another,), than any other man who ever lived in the County except Bataner. I am not charging that he is guilty of embezzlement; but 1 repeat it, that except Battner he has drawn more money oat of the County Treasury than any other man. Further: What better can the people expect of the "New Trenton Bridge man" the man who charges tho County for services as Commissioner, aud claims witness' and juror's fees for the same days? the man who insisted that Alex. 'Martin and others should only haul half loads instead of full ones, while working on the protection at the Poor Farm, in order that he (the Commissioner) might put in more time at $3 per day at the expense of. the tax-paver.-? Hundreds of other facts might be given to the public equally severe against the present Board, but my letter ia already too lengthy. I will just adJ that we are promised that a reform will be inaugurated on next Monday, and we are looking forward to that day with a great deal of anxiety. Sstringfikld. A Card From Judge, Reid. IIocsk op Representatives, Washington, D. C, March 22. )- To the Editor f the Chronicle: ' W hen, the "Card"' of the Hon. George W. Julian, which appeared in your paper of the 18th inst., was ahovn to me I was not aware that you had indorsed his statements in your editorial column, and in my answer to the "Card, took no notice of your indorsement. This day my attention was called to the editorial and its reflection on my conduct as a contestant for a seat in Congress, which I deeply regret, because the opinion of such journal as yours docs oftentimes either much good or evil. Having answered the "Card through the columns of the Gazette, allow me the privilege of replying to the editorial through the same medium it appeared. Mr. Julian did not meet me in Washington, as he alleges, early in December; nor was the evidence promptly sent, by his exclusive request, to the printer; nor was the evidence kept back by me; Dor did the committee inform Mr. Julian iu December, or any other time, that I was manifesting no interest in the case. I did not leave Indiana until the 29th of December, 1869, and did not arrive in Washington until the 3d day of January, 1S70, the same day on which the papers tcere sent to the printer. The House or dered the printing only on the 23d day of Ueceuiber, IbOD, and adjourned until the 10th of January, 1870, during which period Mr. Julian was undergoing medical treatment in New York. After the evidence was sent to the Government printing office, and when about two weeks had elapsed, I called regularly every week, twice, if not thrice, inquiring about the progress of the work; and finding an unaccountable delay, I engaged the services of a gentleman who was understood to have some influence in the office, to hurry up the publication. Through the medium of this gentleman I obtained proof-sheets of the evidence, in order to make or prepare my brief or argument, and finally, on the 17th of March, instant, obtained the full evidence. That dav I waited nn the chnirtrian of tha committee, ai.d solicited him to name an early day for submission, and informed 'him my brief was thou ready, when" Mr.

Julian demanded time, and was allowed two weeks. x ' I regret that I am compelled to deny the "Card" of Qr-JnHlo.ltpfll (o brand it as fahn in everyvparticutar-k-ebvfar as it relates to myself i my atJou in the contest, having vfallowed -up closely what I hold as my right ' to Seat' Congress, while he has met me with delay at every step. ... Please publish this, my denial, in order to correct tb injury done me' by yohr editorial and oblige your .obedient servant, .- Jno. S. Reid.

.7 Laurel Chronicles. "? AtyTJ7tND.rMafrjh'27lh7l870.' ? ' JuV , EdtFpr,ln your last week's issue we notice at; article over the signature of VA Chronicledite," the , writer, of which haft seemingly to his own satisfaction ferreted out th author of "Laurel Chronicles.' Instead Of attempting to make one single defense in. reply to any of those glaring facts so elaborately obrontoled, he seems disposed, to eon tent himself with pitching into ' the supposed, author. We find his' article a very punts but stale and defective assault open the character and habits of the aforesaid author during bis sojourn in- Laurel, ' though his efforts in that direction were, ' aoeordiog to his own admission, only partial. This he admits when "feeling" fjgr us but can't quite "reach" us. He knows that it was not because he failed to exhaust his mental powers in that direction, as we Understand he labored incessantly the whole of three successive nights in the preparation of his article. The' failure was his misfortune rather than his fault. But the exposure is what is chiefly galling to this pious "Chronicledite," who goes around "feeling" for something that he 'eaa't quite reach." Hence his laborious efforts to divert public attention by fictitious assault, unwittingly inviting the very attention, he wishes to avert. Yet i. is not our intention at tho present time to open our batteries upon his past rccoid, but we will eoateot ourselves with briefly noticing a rtf few of his piom and benevolent exploits of recent date. The mantle of charity whieh be so tenderly throws around usk we will endeavor to wear with becoming graoe. But we must confess our surprise that he did rot reserve it for use upon some one of bis more needy aud intimate meads the habit of spending ith whom he is in a good portion of his time at David's saloon. On last Saturday evening, while promenading along'' Pearl street enjoying the livelt appearance of trade,' our attention was attracted io the direction of David's saloon. On the pavement in front we discovered a large and excited crowd, and from within doors came greeting our ever quick and ready "ears unusual sounds in the shape of rearing and snorting, with oaths both deep and loud. Our curiosity naturally prompted us to take a peep inside to ascertain what all this meant. The first sight that met our clear and sharp vision was the well known form of William the stavesplitter and wood-chopper, with Franklin the eelebrated assaulter and batterer, and some twenty-five or thirty other frequenters of David's saloon, all in a tremendous uproar. William the stavesplitter and some of tho other guests it appears had succeeded in filling tbeir "kegs" a little too full of the "critter," tho stavesplitter making furious and belligerent attempts to devour some one of the party, and judging from the bloody appearance of one of their faces he had partly succeeded in so doing. In extending our observations a little farther through this interesting partv of "critter .suckers,',' what else do you suppose met onr astonished gaze? We don't like to tell, but as we are "io for it," we must tell the truth if we have to die for it. It was no less a personage, Mr. Editor, than your last week's correspondent, "Chronicledite," the . veritable same old piont Squire. li Yes, right in the midst of this conglomerated mass of bentine-takers we found Mm in all the height of his dig nity, with the collar of -his shirt thrown widely open, and the strings all broken out of bis faultless and welUEttiog shoes, wearing that well known pious, look; and in tones that could be distinctly heard above all the rest, his voie uigkt have been heard beseechingly endeavoring to quiet the aroused belligerent intent of the 8taveplitter. His besee thing tones and pioMs manner soon had the desired effect. The mao with the Woody face proposed to treat; Wuuam the stave splitter cries out, "enough said," and the last we saw of them was ' when the pipm Squire was quietly promenading across the street with the pacified stave splitter languidly hanging upon his arm. -In witnessing that oommeodable act of jieace-makiog, we felt like exclaiming. What a pity it is that he had not reserved that mantle of cbarityt what a fine opportunity be would have had to have made good use of it upon this occasion, instead of throwing it so tenderly around those "Laurel Chronicles," whose well known church-going proclivities and sharp business tact in trading empty whisky bottles for cigars is a auffioient guarantee that he will be able to work out his own salvation without the aid of any outside fictitious influences. We now leave him in the tender care of an all-wise Providence, trusting that ho may be able to win great fame and honor as a peace-maker among those numerous frianda and associates of his, with whom he is in the tabit of. meeting at David's saloon. Supposed Author op "Laurel Chronicles." Laurel, March 20th, 1870. Mr. Elitor American, Brookville, Jd., Sir: I see in your issue of March 25th an article beaded "Laurel Chronicles," which does great injustice to many of the eitiaeos. Now I am no newspaper man, but think whoever wrote the article referred to don't make an honest living, or else be conld occupy his time to better advan tage than slandering his neighbors. He must be considerable of a church member, as he has used that Methodist Hell three times in his communication, in order to give greater eclat to writing. I 'will put an affix to his word d d whioh he has used so often, hy telling him he is a d d liar and the truth is not in him, which I will show. He said that one of the Commissioners, Mr. Hubbard, telegraphed to "Tow.head" Williams that there was an attachment issued for him. I was the person who did it, and had not seen Mr. Hubbard about it, nor did he (Hubbard) know anything about it. Hcnoo I reiterate

what I have said. Don't care whether the man wears a long-tailed black coat, fancy frock, or a yellow jacket.

'V - iionit UOLTIB. ' t O Letter from Minnesota. ? V, Cotraipondanoa if tha Indiana American. V Albert Lea, Minn.; March 17, 1810. Mr. Editor, Dear- 8ir: In your last week's issue you state that the Governor of Minnesota has signed the bill submitting the question of woman suffrage to a vote of the "adult male and female citiienfc.M .This Is a mistake. Such a bill was .. . - - - passed by our Legislature, it is true; but it was done as a joke a burlesque on the whole subject. Very few, perhaps not one, of either branch of the Legislature really favored the measure. But they were bew seig d by a eel of modest (t), strapping. strong-mi odeds, until in the revenge of mockery they adopted the bill alluded to. That they meant it as a burlesque, is evident from that section which submitted the bill to a vote of the women! as if the thing were already a matter of fact. Our late Legislature was mainly composed of sensible men, who In sentiment and principle are far enough from any sympathy with the grand humbug of lady polls. They knew that Gov. : Austin would veto the bill, as he could not well carry the joke further. He did veto the bill, for he is a sensible man, and ha has a sensible wife. Here are some of his reasons, given in hia own words, for refusing to sign the bill: - ' 'There is yetbnt little or no evidence or manifestation of any public sentiment among tha people at large in this btate in favor of the proposed change; and it is attempted by this adt to force the question upon the people, and inaugurate a campaign upon an issue which they have not made, and in which they have manifested no interest.' . No donbt all the Sorosisers ia tho land will herald this as a victory, a great victory. " Minnesota for wovians suffrage," jnill head many a paragraph and illuminate many a banner! And what anathemas Gov. Austia will have to beavl Drown ing (wo)me will catoh at a straw. , I may be mistaken, but I think the Gopher State will never take the bad pre-eminence of leading off io any such deform. Saint Patrick's Day, yet not a touch or inkling of Spring. The heaviest snow storms. I have ever witnessed have occurred in tbe last two weeks. We have rxow more than two feet of snow, aaJ badly drifted. In many places fences are completely buried out , of sight. Teams and sleighs and railroads are blockaded, and people are generally enjoying a quiet time at borne. . During the Winter many of the churches in various parts of the State have enjoyed precious seasons of revival. . In many places, twenty, forty, sixty, or more conversions are believed to have taken place. We have shared in the blessing to some extent here. Last August, when the new Presbyterian Church was dedicated, they numbered twenty-o&e members; now they have fifty-three. Tha Baptist Church has also been revived, and a Methodist Class has been organized. , I am usually addressed as "Elder," from which some of your readers will be able to infer something as to prevailing denominational sentiment. ! Yours, truly, ClYlS. The Read and Ponder Article. On the first page of this issue,' we give space to a long article, written in the interest Of Mr. Julian, which calls upon the people to read and ponder. We have vead and pondered it, deliberately and seriously, and have come to tha following conclusions: Tho author and indorsers of it either have tbe faculty of judging of facts and appearances very unfairly and erroneously, or are very poorly posted. It is numerously signed by very respectable pople.. none of whom, we presume, wrote a line of it, their names : being attached to give it caaraoter and respectability, A large portion of the article is thrown away in demonstrating Mr. Julian's ability and faithfulness to the party. Judge Wilson's friends concede this, but they contend that he (Wilson) .will serve the people as ably, aa faithfully and as well as Mr-. Julian has. The strongest reason for Mr. Julian's continuance in office, is his industry and faithfulness for twelve years. This line of argument, if pursued, would destroy all rotation in ol&ce. A man would be elected for life orduring good behavior, and tbe offices would ceaso to be the gift of tbe people,' and become the gift of Industry and good behavior. We ntight as well abolish all elections, and save the expense, and appoin men for life or good behavior. No, we be-lievo io rotation in office, and think Mr. Julian's ability, faithfulness and inrdustry are sufficiently rewarded. He should stand aside, and let the people reward the ability, faithfulness aud industry of seme one else. The next line of argument introduced, is that of availability. It is stated and argued, that Mr. Julian is an available man, and that Judge Wilson is nut an available man. That is like the man who proved that black was white, but when his hearers looked upon the color itself, they declared it as black as ever. An available man is one who will receive the full vote of his party, if not more, while au unavailable man is one who never receives the full strength of the party. Mr. Julian has always run five to eight hundred behind his party strength, while J udge Wilson on one oocasion, in a District about tbe same site, ran two thousand ahead of his party strength. This shows that Wilson is about twenty-five hundred votes more available than Julian. If Wilson is not available, what is Mr. Juliau? If there is a schoolboy io the District, ten years old that is not able to see the miserable sophistry of tho availability argument of the Read and Ponder Article, he would be inexcusable, it is there plainly hinted, end almost threatened, that the ardent friends of Mr. Julian would be justifiable in voting against Judge Wilson, if he should receive the nomination. The mistake the Julian men make, is in taking things as they ought to be, instead of taking tbam as tbey are. The fact is, there are five to eight hundred Republioans in tha Distriot, who have persistently either refused to vote for, or have voted against Mr. Julian. Whether they ought to do so or not, is foreign to this argument. We think they should not do so. but they do so notwithstanding. The fact exists, and we can not help it. Now in the face of this fact, we say it is unwise 1

j to bring forward Mr. Julian. It is suici-

' 'The content between the friends of these two gentlemen for the nomination to Cud gress from this District is about over. Next Monday fonr of the seven counties composing tbe (4tb) District express, by popular vote, their choice. The remaining three counties select delegates -by county conventions. And on the 12th of April the fioal nominating convention wUl meet in this City. The popular Vote 'of Way ne, U oieay Franklin and - Fayette, next Monday, will, in all probability, virtually deeide tho question, and the approaching convention have, only to offi. cially nominate the candidate already chosen by the people. : - , r .; - . - . In some parts of the District the content has been warm, and the friends of each candidate have only dune harm by their bitterness. They seem to have, forgotten that the fight is now all in our own party, and have carried on the contest as if against the common enemy , of the whole party. In other parts the question has been argued aa a difference among friends, and the contest maintained with a spirit of fairness and harmony on either side. This ia as it should have been throughout the entire Distriot, thus enabling the entire party to peaoeably unite on the suocessf ul candidate. tThat the party .will unite on the man nominated, no one presumes to doubt; but the present contest has been so conducted that many will give but a grudging support to the regular nominee. While we have' firmly advocated our choice between the two, aspirants, we have endeavored to treat our opponents fairly and justly, and can unhesitatingly support the choice ot tne party, wneiner ne is our preference or not. s . . We have uniformly advocated the nomination of Hon. J. M. Wilson being the first paper to officially announce him and while doing so, we claim to have done nothing at which the friends of Hon. G. W. Julian can justly take offense. We have in no case disparaged tha ability or faithfulness of Mr. Julian. Neither have we Indulged in personal abuse. ' While out eo&uuas have, editorially, supported Wilson, they havo bean tree alike to tbe friends of both for eorcmunieatious and selections. Some of the ardent supporters of Julian have Censured us forsaking any part in tho iuattcr while on the other hand,, we bava- been faulted fur not "spicing up" our opposition 'io Julian. To these complaints we have only to say that we have the interest of the party at s.take and in &e case can the party be bn&tled. by a publie journal abusing a prominent member of it. We have supported Jodge WTilse- because: He i a man eminently qualified for, and worthy of, the position, and in whom the parly can repose implicit confidence. He is a man whoi popular wkh the masses, and will infuse a spirit of confidence in the campaign, enabling the party to send a mao to Congress with the usual majority of tbe District- who can, we believe, come nearer harmonizing the different elements of ihe party, than any other; certainly nearer tusa .Mr. Juliau ean. His - nomination will, believe, abrogate tho oil and growing dilurences in tho party, and reudcr the District s reiiahJy liepublican as was the old "Burnt Distriot," of which this county was a part. Lastly, Judge Wilson being a resident of this county, we feel a natural pride in supporting bim, which, other things being equal, we deem it our duty to do. We have opposed Mr. Julian, not from his lack ef ability, nor that we cannot trust him: but only, an J simplv because of his irreat and growing unpopularity, thu ren dering, sooner or later, certain defeat to the purty, if it insists oa keeping him in Congress. And, in tho end, it matters not whether Mr. Julian deserves this great unpopularity; it is enough that it exists, and for the good of the party we earnestly believe the time has come when he should step aside for a new man. The- fact of hia seat io Congress being contested, when his District is reliably Republican,, is abundant evidence of his unpopularity, and it is greatest where he is best known, as will be seen by contrasting the vote of the counties io the District that formerly belonged to his old District with those that .did not. . . . Another reason against the nomination of Mr. Julian is the exhilaration it will give to the Democracy of the District. They know his unpopularity, and are very desirous of his nomination not because they like the man, or his principles, but because they think they stand a chance of defeating him, while with Judge Wilson they entertain no hopes of a victory in tba District. In the light ofthe above facts and figures, we submit to the Republicans of Fayette county whether or not the Republican party ean afford to nominate Hon. G. W. Julian. Lat them think of this when they attend the polls next Monday, and vote for tlie best xnteresti of the party, aud not for the benefit of either Julian or Wilson. Connersville Times, . .. Correspondence of the Seymour Time. The Sandusky & Southwestern Railway. PaoliIsd.. March 19, 1870. Dr. J. R. Monroe Dear Sir: Your valuable paper came to hand according to request, containing several articles in relation to the Sandusky Southwestern Railroad, making Seymour a point on said road. Also stating that -there would be competition between Louisville and Evansville as to which place should bo the terminus of this important road. The citizens of Washington, Orange, Dubois and Warrick counties are very much interested in the extension of this proposed Railroad to Kvaosville, as it would pass through the counties above named a di8 tance of 120 miles from Seymour. Tbe importance to this Company of building this road below all obstructions on tha Ohio river cannot be over estimated by those interested. This road, connecting as it would tha Gulf of Mexico with Lake Lrie, by connecting with .the Nashville road at iSvaasville, would not be second io importance to any road in the country. Seymour has now all the advantage of railroad communication to Louisville. Tbe first county after leaving Jackson is Wash-, iogton, which has an inexhaustible supply of good building rock, and is a good agricultural country. A part is compar atively level, embracing in the limits of the county much good river bottom land. Orange county possesses many advantages over most other counties. In - the first place, it has the finest timber of any conn-
