Greensburg Standard.

The Fourth District Discomfiture of the Democracy What they had Counted on Their Probable Candidate. Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gaiette. Indianapolis, April 15. Probably the sorest disappointment over the result in the Fourth District fell upon the Democracy, after all. For weeks past, and even before the question of a nomina;

tion was agitated in the Kepublican ranks, they did not hesitate to say that whatever Jbe result might be, it must militate to the advantage of the Democracy. "If Julian is nominated,' they said, "his opponent in the Republican party will slaughter him at the election, as the best method ot getting rid of bimj and if he should be defeated for the nomination, his friends will feel so sore over the result that they will aveDge the insult. So, in either event, we must gain, and the next Representative from the Fourth District will surely be a Democrat." They were totally unprepared for the withdrawal of Mr. Julian, aud the cordial support of Judge Wilson which be promised, and seem to overlook the fact that the Republicans of the Fourth-Distrist have such intelligence, gocd sense and a love ef their principles that they will not under any circumstances, betray them into the hands of the Democracy. They have been prophesying for at least six years past that the anti-Julian men would delist him, and yet he has been every time elected, and they will find now that they will gain no more from any "disaffection" in the ranks, since another man has received the nomination iu a close race. The Greenfield Democrat, Judge Gooding's organ, in its issue of yesterday is still playing on the same string, hut in a very feeble way compared with the formeT &jr 0f confidence which we have heard from it. After assumins that the nomi nation of Judge Wilson is not, "under the circumstances, a compliment to bis talent, his ability and force as a statesman and public speaker, or to bis devotion to the principles of the Radical party," it says, "it remains to be developed whether this swap of the pfisitive for the nrgaticc will win the favor and affection of the more intense Radicals of the Julian stamp. If the frieuds of Mr. Julian in Wayne county are made of the same material as his opponents, the friends of Judge Wilson, the problem will be solved against the Judge, and in favor of the Julian wing. Mr. Julian was defeated at the election iu 1808, because the men who defeated him for renomination would not vote for him then. What will the friends of Mr. Julian do in the prcseut emer:etic? Will they permit themselves to be forever snowed under by the men whom they denounce as bastard Radicals? Will they s-ee their leader fall in a bitter, acrimonious and unrelenting fight, and not avenge bis fall? These are questions to be settled next October, and we have faith to believe that some good may yet come out of Ni.zaitth." All cf which eounds very brave, but would possess more merit if the Democrat had less interest iu the avenging. As it is, Mr. Julian feels that he has made a fair and honorable fiht for the nomination ! and been beaten by a small majority. Rut he does not love the Democracy any better on that account, and does not, in any event, ccsire their success. In his letter, he says: "As to myself, I have at all timcsand under all circumstances supported the nominees of my party, first as a Whig, theu as a Free Soi!er, and finally as a Republican. Ho man who knows me will ncpd the assurance that 1 shall fight it out ou that line." This will be the key-note of the campaign iu the Fourth District aud Mr. Julian's iuCuence over his frieuds is known to be very great. The sooner the Democracy of the district come to understand that they must make the fight upon the exceedingly small capital which they possess, the better it will be for them. Had Mr. Julian been nominated it is quite probable that his opponent would have been Judire Reid, ot Coutiersville. lie and his frieuds would have demanded it os his right, on the pica that be was swindled out of his seat two years ago. Kven now, the effort which he has made in contesting the seat will add some to his strength, but there seems to be a general belief in some portious of the district, away from Conneisv ille, at least, that Judge Reid does not pri peily divest himself of his gloves when going into the fight. It is proposed bv such persons to throw their influence in favor of the nomination of Judge David S. Gooding, of Greenfield, who has never been known to wear gloves to any considerable extent when going into a political fiht. On the contrary, he is one cf the energetic orators, who warms up with his subject, exercises all over, ai d succeeds in divesting himself of the principal part of his clothing during the progress ot his remarks, piling them up iu the most available places around his immaculate person. He has never been known to cease an hour's speech with more than five buttons in their places, tbey being, necessarily, upon bis pantaloons. Reporters who have been with him once never undertake to take notes within twelve feet of the center of the platform; but any place within a quarter of a mile answers the same purpose. Judge Gooding is nothing if not vehement, and if they want to bae the battle iu the Fouith District fought in a cloud of dust, he is the man tbey want. It should not be understood, however, that he seeks the nomination. If he is to fight their battles the Democracy must call upon him, and not be upon them. In a conversation with him a fortnight siuce, he stated that "going to Congiess now-a-days is not what it used to be. Ten years ago I would have sought the honor; but I have seen enough of Washington life, with all its inside workings, and am quite satisfied. It has none of the attractions to me now which it tniht have had then, and if the Democracy of the Fourth District desire to have n:e serve them, I shall do so from a sense of duty, and not because I covet the honor." It will be noticed that these arc the words of a modest and retiring statesman. I recall hut one man in history who would have Fpokeu iu this way, and that is the distinguished ex-President with whom the J udse was for so long a time upon such intimate relations, and from whom he seems to have absorbed a large measure of true statesmanship. CaaoNlCLK. Please Correct! Several of our cotemporaries and others have occasionally intimated the present season the unaccountable idea that the Radical was, perhaps, inclined to go for Julian for Congress. All a mistake, gentlemen! it is "tooth and toe-nail" for Jerry Wilson. "Richmond Radical.

For the American. Reply to "Springfield." Mr. Editor, Dear Sir: I eee a communication in your paper of tbe 1st,

signed "Springfield," wbicb speaks very harshly of the County Commissioners. Being one of that body, I would ask leave to answer some of the charges made by "Springfield," alias Bob. lie first speaks of a large number of persons asking the Board of Commissioners to change tbe looation of tba bridge across the East Fork of White Water River on the Mt. Carmel Pike to near Speers Mill, and the refusal of tbe Board to grant the same. In answer to this, I will say that their own estimate makes the cost of the roads to this location $15,000, being a less distance than two-thirds of a mile. This, sir, to accommodate only six farmers, is asking of the tax-payers of the County too much. There are only that number (six) living under the hill on or near tbe (Jxtord road, ibose who are living on the hill who travel that road can be accommodated by making a road to tbe present location on the Mt. Carmel pike by reopening the old Bath road. I say let the first bridge be built on the Carmel road, and at some future time if the Pike Company on the Oxford road will put up the stone-work of a bridge on their road across tbe river, I think the County might afford to put on the superstructure. This wouTd satisfy all the travel East. Again he says: "Look at their action meaning tbe County Board in reference to ti e Cory (Fairfieid) Bridge," &c. This 1 will only say is all humbug. Bob only thought he would bring himself intoa little notoriety. He is run down pretty low, and thought by this course Mr. Besgs and friends would notice him a little. He knows Beggs makes plenty of whisky, and thiuks he can get a suck once in a while. Again be says: "What can be expected of the man who owns a farm adjoining the P oor Asylum, who has drawn more money from the County for big kettles and little loads of wood, and one worthless trap and another, than any other man who ever lived iu the County except Batzner." This he knows is false. I did earn several thousand dollars while I was Treasuier, but it was taken from me by just such a contemptible scoundrel as you, "Springfield, ' alias Bob. As to large kettles, I had several. I sold one to Julien Meyncke; I sold one of the same kind to the Commissioners for the use of the Poor Asylum both, I think, at tbe same price, 520 each, which is low for such kettles. If 1 cheated the Commissioners, it is not saying much for your candidate, (Meyncke.) for be is cheated also. Now the small loads of wood. This is all erroneous. The wood I sold the County for the Poor House was measured and received on the hill ou my farm adjoining the Poor Heme farm, for the following prices: two years ago for S3 per cord; at tbe same time wood was selling in Brook -ville from 54 to 54 50 per cord; last year for 52,80, this year 52,70. Last Spring Robert Stoops sold some wood to the County for the Poor Asylum. lie charged 53,25 per cord. That was hauled by the Superiiitenuent, So was my wood. Thus you sec Stoops cbarged the County 45 cents per cord moro last jear than I did. Now, sir, the tax-payers of this County will eee at once tbe object of all these charges against me and tbe other members of the Board. This same "Springfield," alias Bob, has appeared time and again in his own proper pcrsou and name, R. Power, lie also came in this case with tbe petitiou of William McClure and others to change the location of the contemplated bridge on the Cam: el Pike. I have no doubt he has a large conditional fee in the case. Mr. McClure can well afford to pay Bob a big fee in case he succeeds, in getting a bridge to his farm. This will put thousands ot dollars in las pocket in the increased price of his land. Thus it is that Bob is trying so hard to get me out of the way and get Meyncke in my place, ns he (Meyncke) is pledged, if elected, to favor the building of a bridge at tbe point near tpeers Mill. Now, Mr. Editor, there is another would be prominent man whose acts I am going to speak of. This man is M. M. Moore. Ho you know was a member of the County Board six years. lie served one year sfter 1 was elected. When we were iu session he aud myself differed as to some things. A few I will name. First, in resard to the manner in which tbe Poor Asylum was kept. I wanted the Superintendent removed, for the following reasons: His extravagance, the abuse of the inmates, the keeping of whiskey, his drunkenness, &e. In all this, Moore upheld him, stating that be (Clark) was saving for the County thousands of dollars every year. Instead of saving, he wasted over 53 400 as compared with Deter's last year, and twice that amount might have been saved if it had not been for Mr. Moore. (I will say right here that a certain man has said already that Deter, the present Superintendent, must be removed.) 1 wanted Mr. Clark to keep an account of the expenses of the institution and report twico a year. To this, Moore and Bath both objected. Afterwards Mr. Bath aud myself' concluded we would put Clark out because be acted so badly. We therefore placed an order on record to that effect. To this Moore entered his protest. We also differed as to tbe New Trenton bridge. I thought it wrong to build a bridge so near the Couuty line unless Dearborn County would pay her propottion of the cost. There is another important matter wherein we differed. That was making allowances on claims not proven or sworn to. He contended that a man who would tell a lie would swear to it; therefore swearing was useless. He and Mr. Bath put through all bis accounts for extra services, such as buying dry goodsand groceries for the Poor Asylum, without ever swearing to them. Now, sir, here follows his account, being the last services rendered by him for the County in the capacity of Commissioner: Franklin County To M. M. Moore Dr. To ue of Horse 2 days, - - - f2 00 Fare to Cincinnati and back, - - 3 50 Expense at Gall House, - - - 1 00 Expense at Miller House, - - - - 4 00 Toll at Brookville, ... 23 To two days' time, ... 6 00 Oue day at Brookville, ? 3 00 f 19 75 State op IsnusA, FKAtLlN Couxty, I ss. I, C B. Bentley, AudTtor la and within said Couuty, do hereby certify that the above is a true, full and complete copy of the oriioa

claim Sled in my office for allowance at the September term, 1868, of the Board of Commisvioners of said County. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and aflix-d the seal of the Board of Commissioners at Brookville ibis 31st day of March A. D. 1870. C. B Bf.nti.kt, Auditor F. Co., Ind. This ia about like all his bills for extra services. The law allows a Commissioner three dollars per day. This includes all bis expenses whilst in session

coming to the County-seat and returning home. You see the above services were all done at Brookville except his fare tc Cincinnati, 53,50 and 51 at Gait House, making 54,50. Thus you will see that tbe 1st, 4th and 5th charges are illegal and wronp, tnakinz SG.25 for the last item of 53. 1 think he had no right to charge, as he only served two days. All his bills for extra services were about like the above. But Moore says I was quarrelsome and hard to get along with. In answer to this, I say when one in authority is trying to have an order issued for more money than he has a ri-rht to, I will always oblect, just as I did in all such oases. Iwill now, in conclusion, say to the tax-payers of this County that the great effort wbicb some men have been making to defeat me is not for your benefit, but to place in my stead one whom they expect to use to their own notions. In this they may be right. I will further say that instead of building the four bridges which 1 proposed, you will be taxed to build two additional bridges one at Trenton and one at the farm of Mr. Meyncke. These two bridges will cost 500,000 or 570,000. So goes the world. W. Robeson. 4th District Convention Mr. Julian's Withdrawal. In another column will be found the proceedings of the District Convention, at Connersville, on the 12th inst. They contain the letter of Mr. Juliau withdrawing from further connection with the Congressional contest, and giving assurance of his most hearty support to the nomination of Judge Wilson. Judge Wilson was unanimously nominated, aud b.fure the Convention adjourned delivered a short speech, wbicb is also published in the rro ceedings. A resolution was adopted recognizing Mr. Julian as an able and consistent rep resentative, and endorsing his course in Congress. Although Mr. Julian, owing to the peculiar character of the local troubles and jealousies in this Distiict, has never been able to poll the full vote of the party, his couduct as a representative and a promioent member of the Republican party has been most consistent and honorable. During a public life of over twenty years, Mr. Julian has faiihfuliy adhered to the principles that have recently tri umphed. He entered Congress as a 1" ree Soiler at a time when auti slavery sentiments were not only unpopular, but the profession of them even dangerous in many purts of the North. Though defeated alter one term, he was oue of the early f ounders of the Republican party, and took an active part iu the conventions of that party in 185G. In 1800 he again entered Congress, at a time when the Republican party came into power and the national life was assailed by the South. Mr. Julian distinguished hi-n-elf as an earnest suppotter of the prosecution of the war, and was in advance of the majority of Im party in advocating the emancipation of the slaves, arming the blacks, etc. Of late years he has devoted much attention to the disposal of the national domain, being chairman of the Committee upon Public Lands, and has earned a national reputation as one of the most incorruptible ui8ii in Congress. His ready submission to the decision of the Republicans of the Distriot, and support of bis successful competitor, will have a harmonizing effect upon tbe party; and with the party once united and active, it is useiess for the Democracy to dream of victory. Richmond Humming Bird. Steamboat Disaster. CINCINNATI, April 15. The tow boat Raven exploded her boilers at eleven o'clock to night, above tbe Little Miami depot, and floated down to the foot of Butler street, where she sunk. Twenty-three persons were on board. Madison Circle, deck hand, from Basham, O., was brought ashore badly hurt. Three others are known to be saved. The fate of the remainder is unknown. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Captain Samuel De Wolf, of tbe Raven disaster, badly hurt atiout the head and right arm broken; J. Aleshire, mate of the Gallipolis, hurt through the hips; both are at tke Broadway Hotel; Lllis Aleshire, carpenter, seriously scaided. Known to be saved Joseph Martin, first engineer; DeWolf, mate; Thomas J. White, fireman: Joseph Martin, and two persons unknown. The sad fate of the remainder can not be determined on. At this late hour the officers and crew not heard from are as follows: Woodward, pilot; Joe Martin, First Engineer; George Abels, Second Engineer. Firemen, Reuben Laucer, John Christy, Henry Brown, colored, and another unknown. Levi Shucct, First Steward, and Robert Decker, Second Steward. Deck hands, Stewart Leavitt, vSamuoi FindUy, Johu Findluy, Uobert Hicks, Robert Bailey, Ellis Bones, Joshua Safererd. The boat was owned by the Pon.eroy Transportation Company, and was just steaming out when the explosion occurred. She had on 1GU pounds of steam and a full head of water. The Last of the Bolters. We do not take particular pains to con ceal our gratification over the shelving of the Senatorial bolters. Not a single one of them has received a renomiuation, which shows very plainly tbe estimation in which they are held by the people w hom they so deliberately outraged. They have received a rebuke no less decided than merited; and if they are able to take a hint, will not be out soon again asking tbe people to give them political position. Hon. Isaac Kinley, of Way ne county, is the last of the precious sjuad. He fared badly at the hands of his constituents, a few days ago, having been beaten by a thousand majority. The people are supreme, and will not trust men with positions who wantonly disregard their wishes. He did this in the Senate both in 1867 and 1869, and the retribution has come. He chose to be tbe tool of men ambitious of promotion, rather than tbe representative of the people, and has received a very substantial hint that they will never have any further use for his services. Isaac has "gone up," and the people don't care. Stand-rd.

For the American. Autobiography. BY W. "W. MAGUIRE. At a very early period in my life I was started to school, and at a very early period in my' life I came to the conclusion that I had gone to school about long

enoutrh. I couldn't see the propriety cf keeping a boy of my active disposition penned up in a small school-house, when there was so much more room and so much better air outside. And, just here, I wish to make a short digression for the purpose of remarking that I do not consider it proper to send small children to school at all. Pure air and plenty of exercise are justas necessary o . for their proper physical development as their daily allowance of food. Let them run at large, and breathe the pure air of heaven, and roll and tumble in the dirt and dust, without any restraint whatever, excepting a due and proper regard to the state and condition of the weather. A child ten years old is youns; enough to commence going to school, and then it ought never to be confined to the schoolroom more than four hours in a day. Home is the proper place for instilling into the mind of the child the first principles of its education, and the mother is, or ought to be, the proper person to do it. Having come to the conclusion that I had uooe to school long enough, I immediately began to devise, or try to devise, ways and means for bringing to a final termination a business which never pos sessed any charms for me. The first plan I adopted, with a view to gaining my lib erty. was to tear up my books. I soon found, however, that this plan did not work well; it in reality made matters worse, for my father and the old teacher held a solemn council on the state of af fairs, and after mature deliberation they bit upon the following expedient, which completely outgeneraled me: They made a large paddle I thought it large, at least and on one side ot this paddle they would paste the lesson for tbe day, while the other side was reserv&d for another purpose. That paddle was very frequently made to perform double duty; for whenever the old pedagogue would catch me trying to scratch off the letters, or enga; ed in any kind of misehicf, ho would take my head under his arm, as Heeuian did Sayrcs. and doubling me over his knee, apply the unlettered side to the pr stuting part in a manoer that must Wave been highly interesting and edifying to the other scholars, but by no meaus interesting to me. Finding the book-mutilating scheme so complere and signal a failure, and provoked by the result aud irritatod by the taunts thrown out by other bovs con. cerning my paddle, I put my young j pugilistic qualities into active exercise,) and in a very short tune encountered and completely vanquished nearly every bo in the school who was about my age, and some who were a good deal older and big gcr. But my manial spirit was cooled off and I was ''brought to gviel" at last, iu the following summary and effectual manner: Oue day, at recess or play-time, I had been making the most praiseworthy and perseveiing efforts to fn;fcf'- a boy considerably elder than myself, and, jn-t as I bad erot his courage up to the stick ing point, and Wis fyuariity myself to 'go in on my muscle, ': the old teacher, who, I afterward learned, had been witching the proceedings with the liveliest interest, stealthily crept up behind me, and grasping me by the can, literally lifted me from the ground and shook me in the air for some time! Many long years have passed since then; but even now, when I survey my elongated ears in the glass and think of that old Irish pedagogue, 1 find myself involuntarily saving, 0 that 1 knew wheie I might but find hiru!" And, Mr. Bingham, perhaps I will nev cr find a more favorable time, pluce aud opportunity than just the present to enter my solemn and sincere proUaf. against the t n iish, stbsurd and ert.el methods of cr reeling children that are resorted to by some of our teachers of the present d;-y. The man who has little children placed in his care, and will cruelly pound them on the head, or on tbe hands, or ou the legs, or stick them up some place in the room, to be pointed at and laughed at by the whole school, ought to be kicked out of the school-house and off cf tbe grounds belonging to it, and ihen receive two or three terrible salutes in the rear, as he is ordered to "get up and scratch" from a place and an institution he has disgraced. And if a Jemnle teacher should happen to be so lost to all sense of propriety as to resort to the same foolish and heartless practices, with all my admiration of the fair sex I say treat her case precisely in the same. way; only, perhaps, admiuister somewhat lighter doses. ( 1 'o be continued ) Rev. A. S. Kinnan. The case of Rev. A. S. Kinnan. of Richmond, Indiana, has been terminated by the action of the .North Indiana Conference, of which body he was a member. The circumstances connected with this case, were as follows: An evil report was put in circulation against him sometime during the fore part of last winter a report of such gigantic proportions for evil, and wilh such strong probabilities of truth in it, that Mr. Ivinnun at once handed bis withdrawal from the ministry and membership of the church to his Presiding .Elder. After further deliberation, however, he concluded not to let it remain so, and demanded his papers of withdrawal back again, but he was refused them. His conference deemed him guilty of the reports, and held that they had a right to accept Ibis withdrawal, notwithstanding the coun. ttruiat.diDg order be had made, and took action accordingly. It was a rather nice point of ecclesiastical law to decide whether he was in or eut of the church after his countermanding order and before the only authority to whom he was amenable had opportunity to take action in his case. Nevertheless, the North Indiana Conference folt themselves competent for the emergency. Conners ville Examiner. Hon. David Sanders Gooding. This gentleman seems likely to become a formidable candidate for tbe Domocratic nomination for Congress in the Fourth Distriot. Shelby county gave him a 6trong vote at their primary election. It would be more according to tbe fitness of things to allow Judge Ueid, of Connersville, the track again; but it is the Judge's misfortune not to be a roaring lion. He is not a good stumper, while David Sanders prides himself on his ability to stir up th monkeys. Reid's poetio ability doa

count against this at all. Oooding in a demagogue of the first water, and will probably defeat bis more cultivated and

dignified competitor. Ihere are too many such men as. David in Congress already. Greensburg Standa.rd. The Fourth District. At the Congressional Convention of the Fourth. District, held at Connersville, yesterday, Hon. Jeremiah M. Wilson was unanimously nominated as the Republican candidate for Congress, Mr. Julian, the present incumbent and contestant, having withdrawn by a letter, which appears in the report of the Convention proceedings elsewhere published. During a lenghty public and Congressional career Mr. Julian has ever been a faithful and consistent friend of Liberty first as a Whig, then as a Free Soiler, and lastly as a Republican, when that party succeeded to the demoralized estate of both these organizations. Whatever may have been the local jealousies and troubles in Mr. Julianas District, outside of the State he has been universally recognized as a faithful aud efficient representative of the principles of the party, and an honest, upright public servant. For several years he has filled the important position of Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands, as whieh he has been enabled to do much to save the National domain from the rapacity of speculators and preserve it for the benefit of actual settlers. The local troubles in the Fourtb District, as Mr. Juliau states in his letter, have been of such character as to absolutely prevent him from polling the full strength of tli3 Republican vote in late years. His withdrawal, made as it is in a fair and honorable manner, coupled with the nomination of a gentleman like Judge Wilson, who must be acceptable to every Republican of the District, will have the j effect to heal a difficulty for the oiigina tion ct wbicb Air. Julian may nave been as irresponsible as he was unable to prevent its continued existeuce. Journal.
