This re port, therefore, settle all farther controversy in regard to Mr. Julian, being entitled to his present teit in Congress he beinjj. undoubtedly the choice. of the people in this District, -whether the South poll cf Richmond be counted or not. Tha Election. We hope every Kepublcan in Franklin County will see tho necessity of attending the coming election. Ail who stay at home or refuse to vote for Judga Wilson k give half a vote to Mr. Gooding man, probably, that not a single voter in the .District wishes to see elected to Congress, if it were not for his party prejudices. Judge Wilson is a gentleman in every acceptation cf that word a man of ability a man upon whom yoa may always rely with the utmost confidence, bth ia politics and the ordinary transactions of life. On the contrary, Mr. Gooding has a character for vacillation in polities as changeable as the winds. No man can teli in which patty he miy be found six months from the present lime. Judge Wilson, though firm and steadfast in his political principles, is uever violent or abusiro towards his opponents. Whilst Mr. Gooding is violent, changeable and abusive, even to his own party, lie declared in this Lu:ity, in 18(t, that the Democrats onuht all to be hunT Whether he thinks so just now, no one can tell, if he does not, there i no certainty but what bo will wish it soaic time during tha next bix months.

The County fair. J tn our last issue we onlj referred to the : Trauklin County Pair as being in pfo- ; jrres!t with good . prospects of success.

We ais able to state that it was a great purees. The weather was favonble, the exhibition excellent, and the crowd durins the last two davs Immense. It is not It paid picnically, for a richer picuie j scene is uowhere beheld . than on and : around the Fair ground about noon of everyday. Long live the County Fair with its present good management, j The thuw cf articles cn exhibition was j above an average. The remark that we ! have never had as good a show of horses was very'general. The cattle exhibited were not quite up to FOtce former exhibitions Sheep were gjoj, though not numerous, tlogs were in fair supply and ol excellent quality. The vegetable felted was well filled, and gives assurance that we will have plenty of "sass" for the sea son. The ladies maintained their reputation for doing belter than the men in their various departments. If they had sheds to properly display their articles, the ladies of this County could make a State Fair just by themselves. We dare not even mention individual articles in this department. Individually they were splendid; altogether they were spiendid. Rut why must the women's articles be piled one on the other three or four deep, year after year, and that, too, i.i sheds where everybody has to stop out of the sun, and for rest? Very few who visited the Fair knew the extent and bjauty of the exhibition in this department, and that bocause it could not be kuown sheds so crowded, and articles so piled one on another. Let us suggest to the Board of Ditectors that they appoint a committee of twelve ladies to devise ways and means for a fairer display of articles in their department. It will then be done. The balloon ascension on the afternoon of the last day was in every respect a success. It drew a good crowd, and went up promptly on time. At the time of ascent there was almost a calm, so that after ascending about one-Fourth cr oue-third of a mile, taking up Prof. Hayden in his baskst, it bore a very little eastward and descended not more than one-half mile ? . : -1.

The law contains a provision requiring taa Inspector to number each ticket as it is taken in, to correspond with the number orpoiie the name of the voter on the polllist.

Republican vs. Democratic Taxation. The Press pays we have been dealing in figures for 1867 and 1868 when Deuioeralie counties were paying off old war debts

; and bounties. The .Auditor'8 Reports jehow that in the counties we have mentioned over 34,000 in bounties were paid by Republican counties, while only $7,200 were paid for that purpose in Democratic counties. ' We will now submit a few figures for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1870, by which we propose to show that County Administration still costs only about one half as much to each poll ia this County as in adjoining Democratic counties. 1863-70 County lax No polls Ain't pr poll Decatur 30,579 t.8 St "Mi 10,24 Franklin 63,453 3 111.)? 21.50 Bartholomew 63,912 83 S.tOtt 15,90 Drarbora a3,453 73 2413 Id, 51 Shelby ol,lfctf 93 3(10 13,40 These counties are all about equal in point of taxable property, and, with the exception of Decatur, are all largely Democratic.

Letler from Peppertown. Correspondence of the Indiana American. Peppertown, Ind., I Sept. 27th, 187(T. ) Mr. Editor, Peppertown is beautifully situated on the high ground between T: 1 1 i , o t. r t i l.i i

Bna reeK' ana nSa all town, there ia a large amount of j u mrany loeateu miweeu viaenDurs ana iueramora in one direction, and Brookville and Clarksburg in the other, it commands a business that but few towns away from river and railroad can boast of. It has two large stores, both doing a heavy business, two blacksmith shops, which have all the work they can do, two shoemakers, who need lose no time for want of custom; one wagon and carriage shop, which turns out first-class woik and on short notice; one cooper establishment that is in operation all the time and does a thriving business; a first-class carpenter who builds all the barns and school-houses iu the neighborhood. The citizens of Peppertown are all Germans and of the Lutheran persuasion. They have a church in town that ia well attended every Sabbath. In short, Pep pertown and vicinity is composed of an euterprising and flourishing set of people. They are all for Prussia, aud woe to the man (politically) who, like llarreld, Bemusdaffer and Berry, comes out here and says France has had enough. Prussia ought to quit, &"!. For my part, Mr. Editor, 1 am lor the Prussians, and want them to drive right on until the French say 'enough.' And, let me tell you, every other square-up-aud-down Republican stands on the same plauk. A few of the sensible Democrats occupy that plank too; but a great many that are not sensible don't. TheGermaus uuderstaud this thing perfectly. They know who are their friends aud wbo ara their enemies. Some of my Democratic friends will probably say that my statement is false, but here is proof to the contrary: During the war of the rebellion, France was considerably on the side of the South; so were the Democrats. Prussia was on the side of the North; so were the Republicans. This is proof too plain to be denied, and it wiii defeat them in this District two weeks from to day so completely that they will not try (as in tho case of Reid) to contest the election, unless perchance David should think he can get paid full wages for it, as did Reid. Some of the Democrats about Peppertown will vote lor Judge Wilson, some will not vote at all, asd some will vote for the man who wanted them all hung a few years since. More hereafter. Fritz. Things that are True. That the Reoubliean nartv stands Dledarr j 4 ed to resist the payment ot the caual bonds J by tho State; While tbe Democratic party is not so pledged. That the Republican party of Indiana condemns the voting away of the public domain to railroad monopolies and demands that the public lands be reserved for actual settlers; while tbe Dem- : ocratic party stands unpledged oa the sub ject. That when Congress voted to reduce the tax on various articles, whereby a grand deduction of 77.000,000 per anuum was mad, the Doui jj.atio members voted solidly against it. That the Democratic party has no confidence in tho Germais, and has refused to place a single German on the State ticketThe action of the Treasury Department, in purchasing bonds freely and thereby releasing a portion of the S3d, 000,000 lying in' the vaults, is highly commended. The Government has com maud of the money market, aud it is to be sincerely hoped that by its management the business community may pass through this fall and winter without undergoing the usual panic and de ran!ement in financial affairs. more vigorous treatment of the Alabama (juestiou is expected from Gov. Mor ton, in accordance with the policy prefigured by President Grant in his inaugural address. The claimants on account of losses by the Alabama and the Shenandoah are said to be pressing the Government for an early settlement, and uow is as good a time, certainly, as we shall have for disposing of the question. Advices from Arizona, dated 10th inst., state that Gov. Satford, at the head of a party of volunteers, had taken the field against the Indians in Southern Arizona, and a war of extermination has commenced throughout the entire Territory. o Hon. Robert C. Giier, lately on the Supreme Bench of the 'United States, and retired less than a year siuce, died on Sunday evening at Philadelphia, at tlie age of seventy-seven. He had been partially paral rad lor years. The Ohio Stats Journal says it is a fact not geuerally circulated through the Democratic presiS that over half the Democratic uomiuees for Congress in Ohio this fall are old Know Nothings. A great cataract, nearly SOO.feet high, was discovered last April in the Essequibo Biver, British Guiana, South America, by a surveying party. It is described as "a column of snow white foam." The Government will send two parties to Sicily to observe the coming eclipse of tbe sun. The coast survev will send two more. The census of New Hampshire shows a decrease in the population of 8,470 since 18G0.

Secret Circular. "Old Alvord," as western gamblers- call him, is at his tricks again. His last deal is in the shape of a circular, which has been scatered throughout the State. Tbe old trickster and his backers are notified that the game is not all in their own hands. Here is the circular, which we commend to the attention of our Uepubli. can friends: Rooms Democratic State Cen'l Com. , Indianapolis, Sdpt. 20, 1S70. ) Dear Sir: I address you as one of the active, leading Democrats of your county, to call your attention to the importance of getting out our fall vote at the election on Tuesday, the eleventh day of October next. Our chances for success are much better than two years ago, when we came within a few hundred of carrying the State. With our full vote ptlled tee shall certainly succeed. We must rely upon individual ejfurts in each locality to get our voters to . the polls. Our opponeuts are demoralized and quiet; let them remain so, and devote your attention to getting out our full cole. It ilia our people, pick up all tue stragglers aud take them to the polls with you. Piease coufer with tne Democrats in your iocality, and quietly and at once organize, aud use all possible means to secure a full Democratic vote without alarming the Radicals. Also, make all miudful arrangements for teams tor the old, itifirm aud sick. Vigorous work by each live Democrat will accomplish much and secure a victory. Another matter, h ice yviir tick-Ai pri.it;d fully a iceek before the election, and see that eoery doubtful man is furnished icith one early. Let us go in and win. Yours truly, E S. Alvord, Chairman Dem. State Com.

The Situation in EuropsThe latest news concerning military operations in the vicinity of Paris is of a severe engagement which is said to have taken place on Friday, at Fort Valerien . A special correspondent telegraphs that the Prussians attempted to take this stronghold, which is situated west of Paris, on tbe left bank of the Seine. They gained possession of an outer redoubt, and were driven back at tbe point of the bayonet, after suffering heavy losses, while the loss of the Freuch was triding. This news has come from only a siugle source, and its authenticity may be regarded as doubtful. There is no other news in regard to the siege of Paris that is of importance. The Prussians are doing wonders in the line of caring. for the sick and wounded in the war. The parent association in Berlin has hundreds of branches, whose energies it directs and controls. All the ladies, benevolent societies of the capital are turned into sanitary bodies, and their apartments are opened for the service of those laboring for the wounded. All sorts of edifices, from palaces to bazars, are opened to receive the wounded or as places for the women to assemble to prepare till necessary comforts for the sufferiog. They ! all acknowledge the glorious elfiictiveness of our sanitary commission, receive their animus from it, aud adopt most of its ar rangements and suggestions. The Germans have taken advantage of their war with the French to declare open hostilities to the obscene French singers and lascivious dancers that have succeeded in demoralizing nearly all their dramatic entertainments and popular concerts. It would indeed be a blessing to the land if this scourge of blopd should wipe out all these traveling nuisances. In the meanwhile the French have driven from their capital and principal towns most of the German artisans who are renowned for their very superior skill and industry. It requires but little intelligence to decide which party is the gainer in these exterThe vacancy in the Senate caused by Gov. Morton's acceptance of the English Mission gives a new interest to the canvass in Indiana, as the Legislature about to be elected will choose his successor. There has also been some expectation that Senator Pratt would resign, though we hope he will abandou that purpose if it has ever been positively entertained. Hon. G. W. Julian, Hon. G. S. Orth and Hon. Will Cumback are among those most prominently named for the Seuatorship. Colfax at Connersvilla. Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazattj. ConxersviLE, Ind , September 24. It was our good fortune to obtain the consent of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax to stop over night here, on his way from Bushville to Muncie, where he speaks to morrow, and address the citizens of Connersville. Upoa the arrival of the traiu he was escorted to the Court House Square, where a largo and eutli jiastio cr.vd aui ted him, the large majority of whom were doomed to disappointment, as his voice had so failed, lroiu constant speaking, as not to admit of speaking in tha open night air. Upon this being made known, the large court room was densely crowded. But notwithstanding this, Mr. Colfax held the vast audience for an hour aud a half as if spellbound, by his masterly logic and eon -vineing argument. It was a most spieudid speech, and vlelighted all, as the fiequeut bursts of applause fully testified. Gov. Morton, a statesman thoroughly in accord with tha popular sentiment of the countrv, ill faithfully represent the Amer ican Republic in Loudon. Motley is a fin ished scholar and an able historian, but his pulse does not beat in sympathy with the Republican masses of this country. This fact has become painfully evident, and the chauge especially in view of the prese nt situation of Europe has not come a moment too soon. . The place could not have been more felicitously filled than by the selection of our distinguished Western statesman. "Chronicle. The population of New Albany ia 15,432.

Let the People Remember. Let the people remember that, while Democrats are hypocritically crying out agarus the heavy burdens of taxation, the expenditures of President Grant's Administration, in proportion to our increased population, is less by nine millions of dollars per annuur, than Buchanan expended during bis Administration. Let the people remember that while Democrats profess to be the peculiar champions of free trade, Deusocratio Congressmen voted almost solidly against tbe bill whereby tbe tax on tea, cotfes and sugar was reduced, and the duties on imports decreased nearly twenty-five millions of dollars. Let the people remember that the Democratic rnemliers of Congress gave further evidence of ttieir desire to lessen the burden of taxation, by voting against a redac tion of sixty millions of dollars iu tbe internal revenue. Let the people remember that Democra tic members of Congress, in order to show ttieir" hostility to high taxation, voted against the bill for fuutiing our bonds at a lower rate of iuterest, aud by the provisions of which twenty five and a half millions of dollars of taxes, annually, will be

removed from the burden of the tax-payer. Let the people remember that, despite of Democratio opposition, all these measures were adopted by a Republican Congress, and thai provisions were made for an annual reduction in taxation of nearly two huudred and fifty two millions of dollars. Let the people remember that while Democrats cry out agaiust "hard times," 'scarcity of. moatey in the V e&t," etc.. Democratic members in Congress, with very few exceptions, voted against the bill which gives the South aud West something nearer a fair proportion of banking capital, and which, op tbe specie basis, makes j tbe banking system free to all who wish to engage in tr, as Dy rigui anu justice it should be. Yet these Democrats have the effrontery to denouuee the National Banking system as a monopoly. Let the people remember that while Western Democrats profess to be the especial champions of Western interests, they voted against and heipod defeat the apportionment bill, whicu proposed to give to the West an additional representative in Congress proportionate with its increased population. . Let the people remember that Democrats design to overthrow ail the beneficial legislation adopted at the last sessiou of Coures, and to inaugurate in its stead a financial puiicy that would destroy our credit abroad and ruin our business at home. fllushville Republican. THE POLITICAL SITUATION Republicans, to ths Hcscuo. The remarkable political apathy which has appeared to prevail in this pirt of the State moves us to a word of exhortation to our brother Republicans, of all "wings'' of the party, to arouse from ih..ir lethargy, or defeat maybe the result. Whatever may have been the shortcomings ot our glorious party whatever abuses may have growo up in our ranks one thing is certaiu they are uot to be remedied by putting in power the l)emiratio party, stuiued all over as it is wiih treason, corruption and infamy. The reformation of the Republican party can be wrought more effectually by remaiiiiug inside uf it, than by taking a position with auy alien organization. We place , conspicuously at tbe heid of our columns the Republican Ticket. It may not be alihogethcr unexceptionable, but it is the best we know of, and we are for it, unequivocally ail the time. And we call on our Republican friends to go earnestly to work to elect it. Be misled by no t'i?e issues uu deceptive manoeuvres under fair sounding names. These are but tricks of your old, inveterate enemy, the Democratic party. They hope to profit by our dis.u.-ions. See to it that they be disappointed. To work, then, for another victory.
