PROCEEDINGS OF THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. Tht Fourth District Republican Convention assembled in the Court room at Connersville at 11 o'clock A. M. on Tuesday last. The house was literally crowded, and with a body of unusually good men. TheGaaette correspondent ty he has seldom seen in political conventions as substantial looking material. The Contention was called to order by Dr. Thomas II. Conner of Franklin County, after which, on motion of James Hart of Shelby, the Hon. B. F. Clajpool of Fajette was elected President. Mr. Clajpool, on taking the chair, alluded to the importance of the meeting. He hoped their deliberations would be characterized by harmony, sound sense and good feeling. No man should be permitted to etand in the way of the success of the sound principles of the Republican rarty. Men ware nothing; principles everything. He thanked them for the bonor tbey had conferred upon him. The Hon. Leontdas Sexton of Rash County was elected Secretary, and Thos. M. Bidgood f Hancock and Capt A. J. Wilcox of Wayne ere chosen Assistant Secretaries. On motion of JuJe Cullen of Rush, the Convention adopted the same rules in regard to representation and the casting of votes by

townships, Ac, that had been embraced in the j trust that we may all remember that we are mem- . . , , , . , I bera of the same great political family adher-

IteUii.v,.. -w-K j -" - j Hon. John J. Underwood of Wayne then j I moved that the roll be called for the purpose of j lallotimr for a candidate for Congress. The i t me had now come for the development of trouble if any were to come. Thus far all had l.oue on in the troM harmonious manner. At tins juncture S)lvester Johnson of Wayne, a tiiend of Mr. Julian, arose and asked that a letter lie had received from the Hon. George W. Julian be read at the Secretary desk. xt. jcuas's t.KTTItn OF WITHDBAWSl.. "Was-iixtox, D. C, April , !r. Dsa Ma. Johkos: I am advised by tele.rams of the result of the primary elections on j Monday Letters recently received Bad prepare.. - ire for this news, and aiu entirely satisfied, tor two reasons. In the first place, it was with considerable hesitation that I determined to become a candidate; on account of the condition of my leallh. I believed. however, I would so imj rove as to be able for the canvass , but in this I rave been partially disappointed. I preatly need the test and tteedoiu from care which are now n.ade available to me, and without which my j restoration to health, and eonFri:ently to any i future usefulness, waa at least douiuful. j "In the next place, I believed my connection j witk some impuitant pullic question wouii cnt e cie to render a real and greatly needed ser- ! viceto the ccmry, niihiu the next few jcars, if rcr.tinucd in Congress. On this ground I ihocght it n.y duly to become a candidate, lullv believing, as 1 did, that I eild be successful, and I say ith 1 erfect sincerity that I as not im elled by political aititon er bv anv fondness whatever t r the drudgery and care of Congressional life, t l'ut Iain new relieved of all responsibility by ; tt.e primary elections, with the libcity to attend : tr u: v t rivate aflairs, and the having d.ne my whole eiu'y. "Let in afl.i one word more. The canvass has keen a remarkable one. The opposition to me by Republicans has teen far more mote fierce and v i lent than I haee ever witnessed against the c n.mcn fee. I have been fought wiih as much bitterness an I rancor, as if I had betrayed the r untry to ils enomies,or ma le myself infamous ry llie"fo-.ile.-t of crime. And all this has been nejustas iho great and cn.lurinst principles have triumphed, f r which I have battled through gied report and through evil report for neirly a quarter of a century. I mention this as a ren.arkably sue -estive feet, and n.t in the 'way of rctrtplaiuti for having voluntari;y accepted political life, I could not hope to escape its eiisagrceble incidents. "Hut I do net wish to dwell upon thee topics. It uill be nell Ur all parties and tor the success e-f the cause to pass tbcm by. If it be possible, let us new have harmony. As to myself, I have at all times, an t undar all circumstances, supp rted the nominees of my party; first as a Whig, then as a Free Soi'.er, and finally as a Hepublicen. o man who kuows me will nee. I the assur.er.ee that I shall "titit it oat on th it line. Indeed it would be morally impossible for we to imitate the bail example of tha men wh) hive for s many jears participated in our Concession l nomin vt:on, and tben fought me at the pnils. "To the many friends who have stool by me in this canvass with such singular constancy , faithfulness and self sacrificing seal. I take this natation to return rev sinccie and heartfelt thar.ks, ar.d I desire through you to withdraw from any further connection with the Congressional centt, an J thus relieve the convention of Tuesday next from any further trouble or responsibility a uiy account. "I am, very truly yours, "Gko. V."jll.tA.' Two or three times during the reading the Secretary was interrupted by applause, and tlis was most demonstrative where Mr. Julian a.Iudes to his desire for harmony. The latter ss received with the highest satisfaction by tie Republicans. Though Wilson's friend claimed he had received 80J voles at the primary election and Mr. Julian but OtU, still it was frhred hy many that questions would arise that would disturb the Convention and impair the etliciency of the party in the approaching campaign. Tins was a declaration of peace, a bow of promise for the encouragement of all lo desired the complete success of the parly. II. It. Payne of Wayne, one of Mr. Julian's s'anchest friends, arose as toon as the tise had subsided and moved that the Hon. Jeren b M. Wilson of Fayette be unanimously declared the nominee uf the Convention. This followed by great applause. Mr. Payne ;d while he made this motion he desired to J now tbat be was authorized to pledge the KJicrIs of Old Wayne to come square up to 'fee standard. Applause They were not W.iers. They had beeu fighting the battle tvecti-Sve years, and they had never lowered 'bsir colors. Applause To the gentlemen f liuali, Hancock, Union, and other counties, kewts realy to say, "though we were Julian ttrt before the Convention, we are now Wiln ruen." Applause He bade them God F(J. "Ltt us," be said, "go on together and k friends." The question declaring Jude Wilson the cbo;ce of the Convention was then put, and rried without a dissenting voice. This was u sooner done than the whole audience rose od gav three rousing cheers for Judge WilDi tud three more for George W. Julian, and Mother three for a united Republican partj in ,te Fourth DUtricL The President then announced Judge Wilson th e nominee of the Convention.

B. Edwards of Fayette A Committee on Resolutions was appointed consisting of the following persons: Jndg Cullen of Rush, John Port of Union, Augustus M. Sinks of Fayette, B. F. Love of Shelby. J. P. Siddall of Wayne, K. U Swift of Franklio, Walter Beeson of Hancock The letter of Mr. Julian was ordered to ba printed as a part of the proceedings of the Convention. Mr. James 11 art made a motion, which pro vailed, that the Central Committee should con sist of one from each County, and that each County should designate a member. Judge Cullen of Rush, from the Committee on Resolutions, submitted the following reso lutions, which were received with applause, and unanimously adopted Resolved, That the Republicans Df the Fourth Congressional District, in convention assembled. recognise ti the true principles ef the party the resolutions adopted at the tttate tUinvention which assembled at Indianapolis on the 221 day ot tebrnary, lSit, and reaffirm the same as our Congressional platform. Resolved, That in the person of the Ren. Geo. W. Julian, our present member of Congress, we recognise the able and consistent representative, and indorse bis coarse in voagress. The committee appointed to wait upon Judge Wilson now appeared with their new candidate for Congress, who, on being presented to the Convention by General Bennett, spoke as fol lows: "Ms. Chukuax ikd Gestlrbicn or tub Cokvkxtios: To be selected as the candidate of the Republican party of this district for a seat in the councils of the nation ts an honor of which any man might be justly prond. I am grateful for it, and regret that I have not language at command adequately ts express my thanks for this expression of yoar confidence. "We are all aware that during the contest which has terminated by your action to-day, many rash words have been spoken and harsh things said, but you must bear me witness, one and all, whether lor me or against me, that I have throughout counseled moderation and conciliation to the end that he upon whom the nomination should fall should be triumphantly elected. Now that the nomination has been made I ent, t tneeame political taith. 1 trut tbat no F"' controversies will induce any of us to abandon principle t gratify passion and thereby give ,u and comfort to the common enemy. one may say that this sentiment is but the prompting of a selfish heart uttered for a selfish purpose. But I am only hoping that others may do as t have done, for I am proud to say to you to-day that from the organisation of the Republican party to this hour I have stood squarely upon all if its platforms, indorsed and supported cbcerrullv all ot its meaMircs, rcj -iced in its successes, sorrowed over its defeats, and voted without a single scratch all its nominations. I am proud to be able to say this, for there never existed a political party grander in its achievements. It had its origin in the efforts of the 1 tiafTtckert in ha an flesh to extend the 'suae of I all villainies' over the territorial domain of the . . h sverv. It came r conspiracies were j thickening against the national unity, and I through its tersistrnt efforts we can rejoice in I the cxi.-teuce ot the t'uion to-day. It has stricki en the shackles from the limb of four millions : of hu:nan being, and enabled every American te say, with pride, that 11 clave treads American (Oil.

This is a grand record. It is a record of humanity. magnanimity, patriotism and justi. - c. "But we arts not to rest upen the record of the

Again, I thank jeu. The Convention having also to nominate a candidate fer District Attorney for the 6th Common Pleas District, the name of Win. H. Jones of Franklin was withdrawu, and John Ie. Rupe of Wayne was declared the unanimous choice of the Convention for that otlice. The following persons were announced from ihe respective Countis for the District Central Committee: Iv A. Riley of Hancock, Sylvester Johnson of Wayne, Rufus Haymond of Franklin. C. R Edwards of Fayette, R. M. Hayweirth of Union, Kenj. F. Tingley of Rush. Augustus D. Lynch of Shelby. Some cenceof opinion having manifested itself among the delegates from Hancock, in regard to their member of this Committee, it was, alter some discussion, referred back to the Republicans of the County ivr iheir settlement. The business having been completed, an adjournment promptly fedkiwed. ' The work had been done with great dispatch. It was past 11 o'clock when the Convention was called to order; at 12 the work bad been entirely finished. It had in its deliberations been harmonious to an unlooked-for decree, ll bad by good management and wise counsels driven away as by one stroke alt the clouds that had been gathering iu the Republican sky of the Fourth District. There was abundant cause for congratulation, and Republicans quite generally availed themselves of this opportunity. A good feeling prevailed among all, save the Democrats who had come to be in at the death. The latter were heart-broken indeed. The managers of the Holly Water Workt tbat have just gone into operation got up an exhibition for their benefit, but there was neither rainbow enough to relieve their dejected spirits, nor water enough to wabh out their grief. 1 heir enemy had done exactly what they had desired not done. The Board of Equalization, Consisting of the Commissioners, Auditor and Assessors of the Townships, convened at the Court lloue on Monday last, for the purpose of equalizing assessments and bearing and tellliug complaints of nrjust assessments.

Bridge Letting. Attention is directed to the advertisement published in another column giving notice that sealed proposals will be received from contractors for masonry work on bridges at Lanrel and Cedar Grove, and also on pier at the Fairfield A Brookville road crossing of the East Fork. Religious Notice. Owing to my feeble state of health, I will not be able to preach at Cedar Grove 01 next Sabbath, as formerly announced. I hope, however, to be able to conduct the regular morning service iu the church. W. A. Uctchisok Well Represented. Nearly every Township in Franklin Connfy was numerously represented in the Republican Congressional Convention at Connersville on Tuesday last. Brookville Agricultural Works. Farmers in want of help should call at the Brookville Agricultural Works, where they can get substitutes to their entire satisfaction. See advertisement in another column. Seasonable. The fine weather is giving a fresh impetus to business, and the Spring trade promises to be very lively. Spring plowing, sowing oats and gardening are the order of the day. The peach buds are not all killed, but are more backward than usual at this time of year. A Big Thing. The largest house in the Valley in the Cloth ing business is the Cily Clothing Emporium Trichler & Scobey, Proprietors. This house is now prepared to manufacture to order twentyfive suits of Clothing per week. Their slock of Clothing, Hat 8 and all kinds of Men's Wear is equal to any city stock, being full and well selected. Good Suits are sold at ten, twelve, fourteen and sixteen dollars per suit. Various Items. "Occasional" writes front Brookville to the Connersville Examiner: Major Frank Wait, of the Brookville Dis tillery, heads tht subscription for stock in the Louisville Sandusky Railroad with th very beral sum of $1,000. Wanted a few more of the same sort. The heirs of the Hendrickson es'afe lying two miles northwest, on the West Fork of the White Water, were offered $15,000 for the tract containing two hundred acres, embraced in the homestead. Married. At Whitcotnb, on the th of April, by Rev. P. D. John, Mr. J. H. Hinds to Miss Cjntlm M. Murch. Van Amburgh's Menagerie and Circus. There is n no re welcome visitor to any community than Van Amhurgh 4 Co.'s Great Menagerie and Circus, for it is always an earnest of an enjoyable and a delectable entertainment, and one which in gratifying everybody, offends nobody. The concern has been before the public so long that Us reputation is established, and the people always have a certain guarantee of wit nessing an exhibition which, in every sense, to ! use a frequent expression, "fills the bills." In other words, there is no other entertainment which offers a tithe of the attraction, and none in which the public geta so much for their money. In fact it is the only exhibition, in America, which deserves the title of "Menagerie," in its comprehensive sense and, in this respect, dif fers essentially from those concerns, who. ;,u 1 Wlin I high sounding titles and fl.iruing hand bills, herald the approach of a cage or two of bears and monkeys. Van" Amburgh's Mcnagorie and Circus has grown into proportions so colossal, that it is no 1 mger a possibility for the hotels and stables throughout the country to accommodate it; consequently it has been a matter of necessity, with the management, tc arrange for camping the entire concern during the season. With this view, immense canvass structures have been manufactured which when erected in adiition to the stupendous six center pole pavillion, with its galaxy of side shows, will give the appearance of a canvas city. The commissary department will be as perfect as the best organised army, and the stable department complete for keeping the stock in good order. The Circus troupe, which forms an important part of this exhibition, is the very best that mo-I ney and enterprise can assemble, and will offer a , melange of attraction and novelty which cannot be witnessed elsewhere. Promineut among the artistes which coupus the company, is did lie ZanfretU, the youthful and beautiful "Queen of the Elastic Cord," whose thrilling, graceful and daring performances on the tightrope have been the theme of universal admiration, and before whom all other performers, in her peculiar speciality, sink into insignificance. Md'lle Lowanda, the young Brsxilian artiste, whose daring flights and difficult poses on horseback have set half the young men in South America mad, is also with the troupe. The eigrist Family of gymnasts, posturers and acrobats, and the great Lowanda troupe of riders, leapers and general performers, have been brought from Brazil, where they were playing to immeuse houses, to add lustre to tho entertainment. The Exhibition will be in Brookville on Monday next. An Insane Mother Burns Her Own Child. Correspondence of the Cincinnati tiaiette. Nkw CasTLK, April 7. Our town was this morning the scene of a most heart ren ting hotnioid. Toe wife of Mr. Win. Redding has keen insane for some two years, with only occasional lucid intervals. She has at numerous times attempted to take her own life, well nigh succeeding once by hanging, and onoe by cutting her throat. Bat never until this morniag has she made any serious atteuapt to take the lite of any odo else, although her husband has lived in continual fear for the safely of his three children. Seldom has he ventured to leave them for any time in her care. She has seemed rational enough now for some time; has been attending to the duties of her house, and it was hoped she was in a fair way to entirely recover. This morning about ? o'clock, while her husband was working just outside the house, at the yard fence, she was dressing the children. The baby, niue months old, was in her lap. Sho spoke to the eldest boy (some ten years old ), and asked him, ' What if I should burn the baby?" The boy answered that he would go and tell p a if she did , and immediately started out where hit father was. No sooner was the left alone than she de'iberately put the baby into the stove, with no other clothing on it than its little shirt, and shut the stove door, and went out and told her husband what she had done. He instantly rushed in and took it out. Its faoe and arms, and all the front part of its body it burned into a crisp. itisnoir(twobour sir.ee it was burned) still alive. The dootor thinks it may live yet three or four hours. It can not recover. M. P. S. Death came to the relief of the poor little sufferer at 10 o'clock, after three hours of the most intense suffering. The mother seems frantie with grief for a moment, and then relapses into an utter want of realisation of the situation. To allow her liberty longer would seem unjustifiable.

Millinery. Miss Belle Jenkins has removed her shop to the residence ef Mr. It. Jaques of Whitcotnb, and has just brought out a fresh stock of Spring Millinery Goods, consisting of the latest and most desirable styles of Hats, Bonnets, Ribbons, Flowers and Trioiminj, and is fully prepared to bleach, press, an 1 da up Hat) and Bin nets on the most reasonable terms, for all those whs may give her a call. Drewersburg Items. There are seventeen inhabitants in the town of Prewershurg, and there are 143 newspapers that come to regular subscribers at our office. We think Drewersburg and vicinity is bound to keep up with the times. The young folks and some older ones of Drewersburg and vicinity are practicing for an exhibition to come off the last of April or the first of May. We suppose it will be a nice thing, as they are making groat preparations and practicing many new pieces which will be interesting to both old and young. But there ii one thing that we do not approve of, and that is, they do not keep good order at their practicing meetings. F. Drewersburg, April , 1S"0. Killed. A man by the name of Meredith was very suddenly killed on Friday, at the Fear-not Mills, on Four-mile, in Puller county, Ohio. Meredith was adjusting a log for the saw, when the lever or brace under the log clipped, and sttiking him under the chin, broke his neck and killed him instactly. " .- ; , "Disckargel for Distbtlity" Important to Soldiers. Philadelphia Press, March 18. The decision rendered this week in the Supreme Court, in the case ef the United States ngainst liostucr, is one of mora than ordinary interest to large class of persons who aro the lust to find out their own rights and too often tho first to be imposed upon by 'heir agents or attorneys. The . - . t . . : j Lt. .(..i j - cuicuiv vtiuit, iiiivr run Mtirrnuic unaj, nun ucides squarely thit soldiers who enlisted in ISO I, for three years of the war, and were discharged on surgeons' certificates of disability within two years, are entitled to their $100 bounty, equally with those who were discharged for wounds or the heirs of those killed. This decision, too, is final, and ends the matter. The esse arose on an appeal from the Illinois Court of Claims. A judgment was given by that court for the claimant for $100 bounty for enlistment under the President's call for volunloers in lSfil, he having been discharged for disability upon a surgeon's certificate. The qnestinn was whether, under tho act of Congress ratifying the act of the Executive, the claimant could recover, the act providing that two years' service should have been rendered to entitle ihe soldier to tho bounty, unless discharged for wounds. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the opinion of the Court, holding substantially that the President and the general order of the H'ar Department stipulating to pay $ 100 for each volunteer, followed by the enlistment of the claimant, constituted valid contract between the Government and th9 claimant, upon which he wasentitled tu the bounty, aliiriuing the judgment of the Court be'ow. We trust tho wi lest publicity will be given to this decision. There are largo numbers of invalid discharged soldiers who will come in under this decision, and their claims hive been so long deferred that probably the greater part of them have long given up all hope or expectation of getting anything. Two Cars on the Indianapolis & Cincinnati R iiiroad Thrown fiom the Track. Thursday night about midnight, as the train on the Indianapolis, Cincinnati ft Lafayette Railroad, due at I 2:tu A. M., was coming along the track about five utile beyond Delhi, the passenger iu the rear car ware startle I by the coach suddenly beginning to rock and thump upon the track iu a way not calculated to promote erne's Ceimfort. It was apparent at once t the conductor and brakeman who were in the car that they were otF the track, and the tatter sprang to the bell rope and rang the alarm, ity the lnuo this was done, the next or second car was al?o off the track, aiid ths doaen pert)ns iu the rear one were only sarcd from being knocked about the car by clinging to the seats. In a very few seconds the train was stopped, but the rear coach by this time bad been thrown entirely over on it si te and tie passengers scattered around quite promiscuously. No person, however, received more ' injuries thau slight scratches. John Morris,, liivid Wallajo and James U. V. Smith, of Indianapolis; J. B. Sedgewick, of Kllettsville, Indiana; M. Uoyle vnd Madame ejujain, of thia city, were passengers, but came out without being particularly the worse for wear. Mr. Smith suffered an inconsiderable abrasion of the hand, and received a slight sprain of the ankle, bat nothing worse. The stoves remained in their places, and no harm followed from fire. The escape from a baJ accident was a narrow one. On the side upon which the car was thrown the ground was nearly level with the rod. Had the car gone on the other side it must have turned quite over, an i been attended with much more serious results. An examination ef the track showed that the train had moved about three hundred feet after the trouble began, and that the accident arose from a broken rail. The fracture had occurred about four inches from the joint, and the tie upon which it rested was somewhat decayed. There appeared to have been an original defect ie the rail, which was only revealed after the damage was done. The remainder of the train reached the city only about an hour behind time, bringing with it a load of passengers tbat were truly thankful It had boea no worse. liaxette. NOTICE.
