the road. 1 he receiver of the Indianapolis, Ci. cinnati & Lefajctte Bailroad has called a meeting of the creditors of the company for the 19th cf January, at thecf&ce of the company, in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Gsseite enters the following complaint: The present mannsement of the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & Ltt'ajette .Railroad is not proving satUfactory to the persons living in the suburbs alonjr the line of the road. There is a very considerable suburban population on this road, the gieater number of whom have been induced to take up their residence there on the representation of the tninasers that the trains should be run to suit their convenience. A 1 went very well as long as Mr Lord had the control, bat since it passed out of bis hands things, it is claimed, hva been going in the wron? direction, and the trains have been so delayed as to interfere with them reaching their business in time The feeling of the people has been additionally riled by the report thatthe managers had recently determined to increase the price of commutatioa tickets. On Friday about fifty of the dissatisfied tpaTous of the road assembled in the office of Sayler & Sayler, and determined to go in a body to the officers of the Ohio & Mississippi road, and make a tender of their patronage if accommodation trains should be put on for their convenience, ihis step was taken, and negotiations are still fending. If they fail in this it is proposed to petition the Legislature to take such action as may be necessary to oblige the Managers of the I.,C. & L. road to comply with the conditions of their charter, or to require the Commissioner of Railroads to take charge of and investigate the affairs of the corporation. Important Measure. A bill was introduced in the House a few days since which ought to be adopted without question. The onlv wonder is that there should le any necessity for such a law. It is in reference to contesting ' elections. It has been the practice for years, whenever the election of a member was contested, to pay salaries to both parties to the contest, the defeated one always receiving from one to five thousand dollars. Id this way over a quarter of a mil. lion of dollars have been expended in a few years, and elections have been contested on the most trival grounds, because it did not cost anything and often paid handsomely. By the terms of this bill the salary will be rid, not to both parties, but to the one whose right to the seat is determined. This, if adopted, will tend to reduce the number of contests, for no man knowing that he must pay all the bills will dispute an election, unless he has good grauodsjfor doin so. It will also save the time of the Houte in a large measure, for the Committee on Elections consumes more of it than any other committee. The measure oneht to be put through at once. Banishing the Wine-Cup. There is a movement among the ladies, in the upper part of New York, for the exclusion of all wines from eveniogentermind, of many, whether the general use of pure, unadulterated wines would not act as a check upon intemperance, there can be no doubt as to the wisdom and impot - tance of banishing the fluids now general ly dispensed' as the juice of the grape They not only tend to, bat place a direct premium upon intemperance. In the eo - cial class are hidden the seeds of future misery. I here are six thousand places There v-bere , ..tcx.e.t.ng hquors .re sold New York.

Important to Tax-Payers. Lacrf.l, Jan. 3, 1871. fn. Fditor, We made pome inquiry

of d:r two worthy County Commissioners, in yonr paper ol" the 23d ult., in regard to the building; of the accessary approache to the bridge i which has just been finished at our place at an enormous price to us tax-payers; but there has been no answer given to our inquiry. Now we propose, as tax payere in this County, to see that there is no more than 19J cents per yard paid for building the necessary banks for the bridge, because necessary for the Bridge. We will 6ee that the contract is carried out in every respect in regard tc the banks, both in price per yard and iu the . number of yards. We will just here mention some things in regard to the stoie for the "rip-rap. Now we have not learned how the Com missioners come at the number of yards in the "rip-rap." We think it was got at in a "rip-rap" tranner, as the contract tors of course would get it large enough in the number of yards. We are well in ;VI UJCU iUSI bUUlVWia gUI V L yJJ 'l j yard on private contract, whereas the stone for th:s "tip-rapping" could have been furnished at SI per yard. We understand by our worthy Commissioner that the price of the stone for the "riprap"' was left to Mr. John Limpus. We tax-payers don't want to leave such important business to one individual who has no interest in the welfare of our County, and who lives and has his all in Fayette County. As tax payers we expect and intend to have matters set ou a good showing, and as scon as the weather permits we will have a general survey of all the work and see how matters and I tLinrs '"haoe." More next week. Two Tax Paters. To the North Pole. Captain C. F. tlall, to vxom has beea entrusted the Government appropriation for a voyage to the North Pole, is now fitting out his vessel, and intends to sail next 'May. He proposes to sail in a steam brig, properly fitted and strengthened for a voyage among the ice. lie means to train his crew to live upon the country that is to'say, to eat raw seal and walrus meat and drink train oil. Thus only, he tbinks, can men endure the rigors of the Arctic climate. He appears to be sanguine of reaching the pole. We trust the Government will send with Captain Hall a few competent scientific observers; for unless this is done the expedition can have no valuable results. Mr. Uall is a brave man, used to living after the Esquimo manner; and though he has never, we believe, passed a winter or even a summer within the Arctic circle, and is not a trained seaman, yet his knowledge of the Esquimo language and dialects, of the habits of these savages, and cf the best way to preserve life among the Arctic snows, make him valuable as a guide to lead men capable of scientific observation to the far northern regions. Another Heavy Verdict. O. P. Cobb & Co., of Aurora, have received the information that another suit of: O. P. Cobb, Christy & Co. vs. Illinois vemra. naiiroaa company cas been tried in me ci.ean bounty court, at liloom - ington, 111., for damage for failure to deliver grain in lfcoo, and a verdict has been given in favor of plaintiffs for the sum cf SIS OH frt The vr1I in tlm P. ...'mi'mi .ii.-i...icr-io us.u... v.,.,..

The Duke of Aista has landed in Spain

and was enthusiastically received. Boumania has declared ber indepen dence, and repudiates the treaty of 1854. All settlers on the Miami Indian reser vation in Kansas are to be removed at once. Victor Emmanuel entered Borne on Saturday, and was most enthusiastically received. The accrued . interest on the Pacific Bailroad bonds, to January, amounts to over $8,000,000. Rev Albert Barnes, the celebrated commentator, recently died very suddenly, at the age of seventy -two. The House Indian Committee will report a bill to organize an Indian territory under the name of Oklahoma. The question of civil service reform will ccme up in both Houses of Congress soon after that body reassembles. The officers who are to take charge of the San Domingo jaunt have been ordered to report for duty on January 5th. The Army of the Loire is to rest for a fortnight, and in the meantime Frederick Will receive a reinforcement of 150,000 men. The number of hogs slaughtered in Indianapolis thus far this season is some twenty thousand greater than last season. Meung sur Loire, a little town nine miles from Orleans, is besieged by the Germans. Another futile effort has been made to take Bel fort. Great quantities of munitions of war were found abandoned in Fort Avron Two companies of Saxons have advanced as far as the village of Bondy. Balloon news from Paris is to the effect that the army of General D'iC-rot was so seventy cut up in, the recently attempted sorties that an entire reconstruction Las beeo necessary. Advices from Paris, to the 29th, represent that the larger portion of the army of Prince Frederick Charles has reached the lines of the besiegers of Paris, and joined them as re-enforcements. It is reported that Beaure Poire has formed, in Paris, a corps of twelve thousand volunteers who have sworn to cut their way through the Prussian lines, and organize a levy in the provinces. A suit has been commenced by a florist at Uoston, to recover damages from a den Hit for the loss of his wifo through tb carelessness of the dentist iu having permit ted her to inhale too much nitious oxide gas. The Senate Committee on the Bemova of Political Disabilities will, as soon as the Senate reassembles, report an amnesty bill not a universal one, but still more liberal than the measures reported in the House. Prussia has replied to the representa tions of the English Cabinet, that she wil give indemnity bonds to the owners o the British vessels recently destroyed to j imPede tbe navigation of the Seine, but decllnes t0 compensate the sailors for the i harsh treatment accorded them The King has sent the following tele'gram to Qaeen Augusta: I "Versailles.

Last week an attempt was made to as - . ... ,DR ,ce ortes in nis carriage, seven shots were hred at him, and he was wounded in , . . . ,nree Pces. This does not indicate that young King Amadeus is to have very smooth sailing in his new dominions Prim's offense is that he has been the Duke's warmest adherent, next to adher ing to himself; There is another sensational report of a scheme to assassinate the Emperor of Irussia. The report says that a number of strangers were arrested io Versailles, when the gates were closed, and the citizens ordered to remain in their houses on pain of death. The patrols then searched every place, and arested two hundred persons, of whom seventy were armed with guns and pistols. This last fact, if there was any connection at all between it and the assassination sensation, would go to disprove the idea of any plot Plotters for such a purpose would scarcely permit their plans to be participated in by 60 many persons.

Prussia eeemb to be quite in the way of

sticking her nose iato the business of other nations. Luxembourg it raps sharply. Switzerland it tells to mind better the ps and qs of neutrality. England it informs Of its disapproval of the matrimonial alliance projected between the Princess Louise and the Marqiii of Lorn. Appar ently she has assume! the part of Grand Inquisitor and General Buler. And to her high behests tie rations bow with lowly humility and meekness. A statement is telegraphed from Berlin, which bears the impress of the sober truth, that the Germans are beginning to feel the war quite severely; that the second division of the Laodwehr is bun? pushed forward rapidly, and a supreme effort is being made to bring the campaigr to a speedy conclusion. There is no abatement in enthusiasm, but the feeling has passed from the first stage ofexultatiin over what promised to be a quick and asy victory, into the second and better stjge of a deep earnestness.

Twice has it been bombarded, and twice have the Frence held it against their enemies, inflicting both times serious losses upen the assailants. Belfort is a city of eight or ttn thousand inhabitants, cn the Savoreus, defer ding the entrance into Fracch from Switzerland. It is a first class fortress, laid out by the great engiceer Vaubai, as one of the essentials of his plan for tie defense of Louis' empire. Besides iMowo formidable fortifications, it is protected by an entrenched camp capable of holding thirty thousand men. The conference is not to be held. The refusal of Prussia and other powers to recognize the Provisional government of France, and the consequent inability cf France, one of the cosignatories to tbe ticaty of 1856, to take part in tbe proceed ings of the cenference, have caused its indefinite postponement. The result of this it is not ,easy o foresee. Bussia will, of course, insist on the abrogation of the treaty provisions so far as they affect her rights in the Black Sea; and there is no reason, so far ss wa have any information, to doubt that the Danubian principalities will insist also on their independence. What will Eoglaul and Austria and Turkey do? The Assassination. We doubt if the annals of crime record anything more cowardly than that which disgraced our c:ty last Suuday uight, in the assassination of Thomas S Myers. The plot by which the foul deed was accomplished, must have been matured by a mind l'arimliar with the most devious de vices of an Italian carbonari, and its execution entrusted to me a who ia the celerity, stealthinet-s and accuracy of iheir movements, would have excited the euvy of an Indian Thug. The bloody drama has not, on the part of the assassins, a single element of courage iu it, nor does t once rise to the diguity of a murder, out from its inception to- its termioatiou betrays a most contemptable cowardice, and a deliberately planned purpose to as sassioate a man without affording that man any opportunity for defence against, much less ot identification of his assailants. That purpose, evidently so deliberately and carefully conceived, was no less delioerately executed. That such a crime could be committed and its perpetrators escape undetected we believe to be impose lble ; and yet all the evidence thus far elicited Jbas failed to indicate, even in the most indirect manner, who struck the blows, or fired the shot which killed Mr. Myers. The evidence, so fat as taken, shows that in a room a trifle larger than that portion of thj 2d National Bank extending from the -front to the counters ancj in which at least fourteen men were assembled, a man seated at a faro-table, with companions beside and around him, was struck at least twice and shot once, and in the excitement of the moment the perpetrator or perpetrators of the act escaped unnoticed. The impression is strong iu the city, and is growing in strength, that there must have been eyes which witnessed the tragedy, and the determination is avowed to give to this crime the fullest and most complete investigation. and bring the assassins, whoever they may oe, 10 justice. Mr. Myers, the victim of the assassins. was the Vice-President of tho Mutual Benefit Building Association of this city. an association due almost entirely to his individual efforts, in the absence of the President he presided at the meeting of the association ou last Saturday evening, and auctioneered the money the association had for sale. A few minutes after 8 o'clock he left the association room and proceeded to the American Saloon, where, twenty minutes later he met his death. Hamilton Telegraph, Dec. 20. Public Feeling in Germany. The Prussian correspondent of the London Times writes, Nov. 30, of the bitterness of feeling against France: In Prussia there are many peoole and papers advising the government to ac cept the surrender of the hostile capital j only if it consents to deliver np not herself alone, but all France at the same j time. In other words. Paris ia not tn h 1 rescued from the pangs of hunger unless i its government and people ratify the German terms of peace in advance, and mnn particularly approve the cession of the

.two coveted provinces. The severity of

rnis proposal win give you ao w.m oi iu tone of the public mind in this country Arguing on the conviction that as the French began the war for vanity's sake, so are they continuing it because too conceited to give in, .although they know they have no chance of success, the Germans having been latterly denouncing the conduct of their neighbors in terms of increasing hatred and contempt. No matter how great the glory achieved by their troops each successive battle adds to the irritation against those who have forced the citizen warriors of this country to leave their homes, suspend their industry, and to take to the heroic. The Germans are certainly determined to go on beating the French as long as they will not concede them the terms considered to contain the only guarantee that peace will not be broken a day after its c neluion; but, at the same time, they are sick of the war, and more and more incensed at the bloodshed waoton'y inflicted upon themselves no less op n the discomfi ed eo-.mj. It is this res va to have their own way, together with the unspeakable weariness occasioned by ever fresh telegrams with lists of kil ed and wounded, that begins to make people comparatively endifferent to the suffering! of their adversaries, and already displays itself in the idea of starving Paris inw obedience. I believe the French hid better realize the fact that the enemy they Jiave to deal with is not likely to be beaten in a game of indurance, and being more systematic and cool-headed than themselves, may turn his firmness to the utmost account. Soldiers of 1812 We herewith present petitions from the Committee appointed by the soldiers of 1812 at their meeting held last December, to the Senate and House of Bepresentatives of I odiana, asskiog them to request the U. S Senators from Indiana to use their influence io securing the passage of a bill granting pensions to the few remaining veterans of that war. It is a sul.ject that well merits the attention not only of Our people but of Congress. The Commit tee have beeo active in their endeavors to bring such influences to bear as would move the Senate to the passage of such a bill, (the House having already passed it.) and hope this winter to get through the body, 6ome substantial recognition of their patriotic hardships and vicissitude. Our people should get up and circulate for signatures a similar petition to this one we present. ("Cambridge Tribune.
