The boast of ibe Democracy, when attempting to get the Apportionment bill throngb the Legislature, was that they would re-district the State in encb a way that the Republicans should nerer pain have a majority in the Legislature. This they proposed to accomplish by giving Democratic ouoties one Representative, for instance, with half the population of a Republican county with one Representative. The following is a sample of the bill: Republican. Rep. Pop. j Democratic. Rep Hamilton l" 26.891 1 Tipton 1 Kosciusko ..... I 23.2jFltoa 1 Elkhart .. t ?5.r9.3l Wells.... 1 Delaware I 25,284 Martin 1 Pop. 11.953 12,717 I. ,593 II, 0SV 15,1.5 Lake and Por- (Hancock. 1 ter (joint)....! 26,454 Totals & 64,444 Totals 128,451 :' The Chicago Time?, the leading Democratic paper in the West,- in speaking of the breaking up of our Legislature, and the unfair character of the proposed apportioameot, ays:- - l. If the facts are correctly stated, instead ofMa maTvel of Democratic ingenuity," the Indiana apportionment bill was a marvel of the most abominable anti-Democratic ingenuity. The word Democratic has another and tnose important signification than the mere name of a party organization. To permit 20,000 citii?ns to liave no more votes in the legislative body than are granted in another instance to one-half of that number, is not Democratic, but quit the opposite, whatever . the name of the party attempting so flagrant an injustice may be. It is an injustice of the same kind as that which would deny to the minority any representation what ever. No political party that perpetrates so flagrant an outrage against the most vital principles of representative government can hope, very long, to command the confidence of an intelligent and justice loving people. A Word for Catholics. Vft are perfectly willing to see the Ro man Catholic Church stripped of its temporal power just as willing as we would be to see the English Church stripped of the same power. Let us have a complete divorce ot L-tmrcn and ctate. lut we don't approve the violent utterances which some Protestants, particularly clergymen, speaking at meetings held for Italian unity, think proper to put forth against the Roman Catholic religion. As a machine of politics, as a tyrannous hierarchy, the Roman Catholic power deserves not only no fellowship, but no. toleration; by Republicans. But as a religion, Roman icm has equal rights with Protestantism on American soil. And it would be more in accordance with the American spirit, it would better comin-d the liberality of our institutions to foreign lands; it would better illustrate our constitutional boast of religious toleration if American Prot citants, particularly at public meetings, would cease to talk as if they, and they only, owned the continent, and that the introduction of Romanism was merely a permitted evil. Justice is blind, and ought not see any difference between religions in a free land. The Pope's Prison. The Pope's prison, as he will call it, isn't of much account as a prison, as it contains upwards of 12,000 rooms, including a chapel as large as an ordinary sized church, and several court yards, and it has a fine garden or park attached, where, when the weather is fine, he takes his constitutional walk. This splendid palace is attached to St. Peter's by a long gallery and suite of rooms, and stands on the right hand side as we face the church, The dispatches are to a great extent occupied with accounts of the gradual resumption by France of the peace status. But while arms ate stacked, tongues are not quiet, and there is no telling from one day to another what the rash talkers of the Assembly and the unreasoning hooters of the bad quarters may provoke the people into doing. There are many incongruous elements lft by the tide of war, which will take long and tedious labor to arrange and assimilate into anything like s semblance of quiet and well-organized society. It is a question yet whether the party capable for this work hat hold of French affairs; The expenes of the war to France are calculated to be $1,200 000,000. A Maine doctor says bilious fever is a lild yellow fever. Senator Elliot has not been seen by his constituents since the adjournment of the Legislature, and they rejoice in the hope that he has gone to Kansas. The Pope njcts the Italian guarantee for his spiritual liberty, and attributes the worst motives for the recent movements ofcalj. Governor Scott, of South Carolina, has ade a requisition en the President for niae a req troops to quell the outlaws i State. parts of that Loais Napoleon has addrersed to the President of the French Assembly a pro tea gaUt the actio n cf that body ra declaring his ey.ta.sty had forfeited the throne.

For tbe America Hints to lTarnirs Mr. EJitor,U has been said that this is. the age of humbug. It is a well known fact that a very large number of able-bodied men in this age devote their time, energy, cunning and skill to laying plans to get money without doing any manual

labor. As a general rale, this class are drones in this very large hive, aad are sup ported by the working bees. The few men who have succeeded in inventions that were really useful, and realised prineely fortunes from them, such as Pitts' Grain Belt in Threshing Machines McCormick'e Siekte Motion m Reapers, Howe's Needle in Sewing Machines, and a few others, has set the above named class crazy to obtain patent rights. They get them, of course; they are issued in cartoads not one in a thousand worth blae bird'u skin, save for the purpose of humbugging the people with; placed in the hands of shrewd, oily-tongued agents, who sell territory, take horses, carriages, notes, money, &c, sell the property, trans fer the notes, and skedaddle to farts in - known. Our Legislature two years ago enacted a law reqiiring all patent right venders to record their claim, verified by affidavits that it is a true copy of the original pat ent issued by If. IS. Patent Office; and any person selling or attempting to sell patent rights in any County in this State without complying with this law, upon conviction shall be fined, to which imprisonment may be added. I would advise persons before purchasing such property to examine the County records and know whit they are buying. Patent Medicine men have the advantage. They don't 6ell territory and are not responsible for what these compound mixtures of poisons, sugar and bad whisky do. If the patient who takes them dies, popular opinion says Providence did it And if perchance the invalid changes his habits and manner of living, and allows nature to recruit and come to the rescue, then the patent medicine receives the credit, and pri pier's ink tells what a won derful cure some man's patent aeJicioe effected. This being emphatically an agricultu ral country, the toola and machinery used in that deoartment have received a vast a amount of attention from inventors and patent men. Thousands of patents have been issued for so-called improvements in threshing machines. All of late date have proven failures, and the old Pitts principle, the patent of which has long since expired, is almost universally used by all manufacturers. McCormick's principle is generally used in Reapers; his patents have also expired. The patent for San ford's Hay and Straw Cutter has run out, but the Catting Box is universally regarded as the best for general purposes; and notwithstanding hundreds of patents have been issued for improvements, all were shortlived and worthless. There is no farming implement so generally used as the Plow. It is in fact the pioneer of the farm, going ahead and pre paring the way. A large number of patents have been taken out called improvements on this very old implement, but those who have bought patents have found that they have been "sold." It is generally conceded that deep and thorough plowing is the only way to raise good crops. Experiments made by agricultural societies and individuals have fully demonstrated this fact. In view of which, the Directors of our State Fair offered handsome premiums at the Plowing Match, but provided that all the Plows must be tested by actual trial with a dynamometer, i. e. a scale rule; each Plow allowed to plow four furrows and back furrow, the third and fourth rounds to be the test last furrow to be not less than seven inches deep and thirteen inches wide. The points to be considered by the committee in determining the morits ef the Plows were 1st, cross draft; 2 1, weight of plow; 3d loss of power in overcoming friction; 4th, nett power required to cut and turn furrow slice; 5th, width of farrow slice; 6ih, depth of furrow slice; 7th, comparative draft; 8th, simplicity, dura bility and price. All manufacturers of Plows knew these rules long beforiwthe Vair, and constructed their Plows especially for the Plowing Match. When the time arrived, an unusual large number were on exhibition not less than one hundred and fifty. All that workmanship, edge tools, and paper ornamental painting, varnish, grind stones, emery wheels, files, furnishing and extra labor could do, they received. Many of them would have made respectable parlor ornaments. Of course the emery polish was to please the eye; the first few rounds in hard ground would take it off, and the Plow take the polish which the ground gave it. When the time arrived for the plowing, about thirty of the heaviest and stoutest were loaded np and hauled to the field for trial. Among the lot was a very ordinary looking Plow, which made a 'very poor appearance among its gay and If"4 cmP"009. ,0tiBe l jfa who d come up to the Fair dressjvuiania working domes and intruded jhis company among the gentry. . The plowing 6oon commenced. Over half of those tried would not go down the required seven inches deep. After all the Plows had been tried and the award made, it was found that the common looking Plow had woo the prise, having fully plowed the seven inches deep and thirteen inches wide, and the scale showed the;

draft to the horses to he over twenty-five

pe cent, less than any Plow the field that had done the same work. This un expected result drew quite a large number of people around this common looking implement dressed in the scarlet badge of honor and distinction; but upon close examination it was found to be simply a Cast Iron Plow, such as is used by nearly all farmers in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Korthefn Ohio and all the New England States, costing about one-half as much money as a Steel Plow, and will last more than double as long. There was no Plow of any not eat this Exhibition marked Patent." There is no good reason why Franklin County should not have as good a Fair as any County in the State. I am not disposed to find fault with the manner in which it has been managed, but I think the Directors should follow the example set by the State Fair and many well managed County Fairs, i. e. testing machines and implements by actual trial, and awarding premiums for the work they do, consider ing the following points: strength, simplicity, durability, price and draft to the horses the latter being very important. and cannot be determined without trial with the scale on. Small Farmer. Laurel Township, March 11, 1871. A New Health Journal. Health and Home is the title of a new Health Magazine, of 44 pages royal octavo, just issued in very neat form by W. R. De Puy & Brother, 805 Broadway, New York. In their prospectus the publishers promise a high-toned, practical health journal, edited not in the interest of any medical party Or clique, but one which shall 'glean from all fields, hold under contribution all schools of medicine, and seek aid from all intelligent accessible teachers.' The first number now before us has a varied and inviting table of contents, which needs only to be seen in order to awaken attention. It furnishes not only a number of elaborately prepared papers, but also a great variety of miscellaneous facts, hints, remedies, etc., for the family circle. The publishers offer it to subscribers at $1.50 a year, and call for canvassers in all parts of the country, to whom they will pay large cash commissions. Prussia is making grand preparations for the return and reception of the victorious army and its commanders. The day of the Emperor's return wiil be observed as one of thanksgiving. He was to enter Berlin on the 15th iost , and the troops will enter on the 1st of May. All the Princes are invited, and deputations from all the States of Germany will be present. Bismarck is preparing a diplomatic circular, reviewing the events of the war. He comments very severely on the con duct of the British government. It has been decided Postmasters must receive mutilated currency at its full value for postage stamps. The new trial of Mrs. Clem in Indianapolis has been postponed until the first Monday in June. The Collector-ship. Gillett V. Stevenson, Esq , Collector of this District, baa received word from the United States Senators that they propose to recommend his successor. The office being a very lucrative one, Mr. Stevenson feelithat the party has done well by him, and hence does not complain. In fact, there are but few men in Dearborn county who would complain at having it only four years. Mr. Stevenson has made a most efficient, capable and accommodating officer. We doubt whether the accounts ot any revenue officers in the Government stand in better shape than do Mr. Stevenson's. The probability is that Uon. Will Cutback ia to be Mr. Stevenson's successor. Mr. Cumback has done good service for the Republican party of this State, and is entitled to something more than complimentary offices. If appointed, he will no doubt make an excellent Collector. rLaw renceburgh Press. Our Railroad Prospects. We have as yet nothing of encouragement to give our people as to tho progress of the Lake Shore, San. & S. W. Railroad. Wc trust that our hopes may yet be realized; that the projectors of this great line of road are still determined to put it through and that we shall soon hear that the first blow has been struck.- Mean while, as we are informed by gentlemen in West Alexandria and eastward to Dayton, there is going to be a movement in favor of building a connection from Dayton to Liberty, by way of Eaton. The road from Columbus to London will be finished possibly by September. And then there will remain but forty miles from Dayton to Liberty to make the connection from Columbus to Indianapolis complete, by a route eighteen miles shorter than the present connection by Urbana and Piqua. Besides being a shorter road it will run through larger towns and tap a better country. Now, although we would not desire to give up or vitiate our prospect of getting the great thoroughfare froua the Lake to the Ohio below the Falls, vet. as we understand the interest we have spoken of above, the two roads will not come ia conflict at all. but rather will be aids te each other. If we get the road to Louisville, Dayton, Springfield and Columbus would receive a far greater part of the southwestern traffic than they now do. Ana, at toe same time, the northeast would be advantaged by the direct trade from Indianapolis and the West. We can say to railroad men, and to our brethren of the press alonsr the line, that our people will, as we believe, welcome both movements, since both will be of great benefit. We believe they are ripe ior ibis newiy proposed Eastern connec lion. Eaton (O ) Register.

Letter Crom Kansas.

New Chicago, Neosho Co., Kansas,) j March 9th, 1871, J j Mr. Bingham, According to promise I proceed to write up a narrative of scenes and observations since I left home. The first point was to find most direct route with best fare. Hating settled on the I., C. & L. with its connection, we bought a through ticket to Humboldt, this State; distance from Cincinnati 800 miles. A word or two to persons coming West. They will find it best to go to Cincinnati, where competition reigns, and agents anxioualy represent and misrepresent the advantages of their respective routes. Where two or more comes in a party, they can find special arrangements on best rates; but this is proportioned to the number represented in the party. I found on our train a party of five men on their way to Kansas, to whom one of the ticket agents of the I., C. & L. route made "special" to Kansas' City. It is best to visit the different ticket agent offices of the same Company. There is no difference in fare from Cincinnati to Kansas City over either of the two most prominent competing routes the O. & M.and the I , C & L. Either will offer you a first-class to Kansas City at $24 and a second-class at $19. The only difference that I" could see in these class rates, was simply a general mixing up of first and second ctai'ia any car that you could find a seat. Yet this sometimes depends on the disposition of the Conductor to enforce rules. The new roads and newly fledged Conductors of these Western roads put on some authority and insist on the rules, Indeed, a traveler will find on these new roads a spirit of haughty imperiolism which makes the Conductor in his imagination "monarch of his train." I suppose a " cornductor" (as those mis chievous Laurelites dubbed a fellow who took at their instruction possession of one of the first passenger trains passing down your Valley,) must grow weary of answer ing SO many questions, yet they make but little by their short, crusty replies, for they take more words and wind than would a gentlemanly reply to the question proposed. The Conductors on the old lines were pleasant gentlemen, and as far as I had occasion to teat any of them I had no personal reasons to complain; but on the L , L-& Galveston road of 112 miles 1 heard more sharp replies and disputing about fate or some other such sub ject than the other over 600 miles of travel On these new Western roads they charge from five to six cts. per mile. Now the "special" referred to above was at the rate of a little over $16 apiece to Kansas City L believe this arrangement was made at the Main and Water St. ticket office of I , C. & L.; hence it is well to go to eacl office and work up, or rather down your fare through the competition existing, and I suppose also a paid per cent, on aales of tickets. You must take some of the representations with allowance Most of the pasengers (there were at least twenty-five, bound for Kansas.) on our train understood ours to be a through train without change to Kansas City. We changed at Lafayette for Quincy, and there again for Kansas City. Ye the changes were not difficult, with the exception of chances for seats, as all Westward bound trains are crowded to excess. The "tide" has set may guess there is a rush. in, and you One reason for coming via I., C. & L is the fact that you pass through the Grand Prairie in Illinois in daylight. The other route has the advantage of only one change and a few hours of time, and I expect to go back that way and see the 'beauties of that route.' ' Now, as to sights and observations along the way. Nearing Lafayette commences the prairie country. Down the Wabash (which was running bank full) is some splendid farming country; but after you pass Danville, 111 , you begin to see prairie, and to one like myself, who has never "crossed the plains" before, it was a grand and exciting scene. The Grand Prairie is really a aaagni&cent sight, and it is worth the fare to pass over the rich plains. I thonght the country about Springfield and Jacksonville, III, could net possibly be excelled in this wide world of ours, but 1 found some of the Missouri and Kansas prairies fully as rich and having the advantage of natural drains. The country through Illinois is flat, while through the two latter States the prairies are rolling, which in my judgment is an advantage, there being plenty of bottom land on nearly every quarter. The idea of the high prairie being poor soil I think a mistake, for I have seen hundreds of acres of such wheat as cannot be found in Indiana. The prospect, for wheat here is highly flattering-.' ' Yet I do not elaim to be a very competent judge of the soil, and only write of my observation. The cities, towns and farm houses through Illinois are superior to anything I ever saw in the same length of railroad in either Indiana or Ohio. Through Missouri this is also true, though not in as general a sense. When you get into Kansas you would be surprised at the apparent wealth and comfort in this new country. The Eastern portion of the State looks like an old settled State. Large palatial mansions, weil fenced farms, herds of cattie and droves of hogs, make one feel that surely these are wealthy people. Still all the way along you find the humble home of the less wealthy and pretentious farmer, even down to the board shanty or log hut. Often in these humble homes I am assured you will find evidences of refinement and intelligence people from the East, who are here to make a home for the future. Now as to the prices of land. They vary according to loealitv. Throughout parts of Illinois you can get well improved farms at from twenty to fifty dollars per acre. I think this would be the fair average all though this part of the State, with the exseption, of course, of lands immediately around such cities as Springfield and Jacksonville. Why men stay on the knobby hills of Indiana holding their lands at from thirty to sixty and seventy dollars sn acre, when if tbey would sell they could get lands in this State for great deal less, with better im

provements, and one acre worth two or threw of this land for products, seems a

mystery to a person in this country. Then if they are disposed to brave the hardships of new country, tbey get farms from $1,25 to $10 and $20 per acre according to improvement, is still a greater mystery. It does seem to me that there is farming land enough here tor an the world and China too. There are so many little "cities" ("they are all called cities, if only a dozen hcusest) where a person with some means might put up for a year or two, intil tbey could get the . . . -. . , tarm in gooa oraer, mat mere is no reason why almost any family mignt not venture. A jrbod plan is to move out to some such city as Ottawa, Paola, Garoett, Horn boldt. New Chicago, or it you go to Middle or Western Kansas, some city on the Kansas Pacific R. R., and rent for a year and then look around. Many are doing this. This Southern Kansas is as beautiful a country as ever the sun shone on. Cli mate healthy, xcsterday we had s variety of weather lightning, thunder, rain, hail, snow, with high winds, but nothing more than we have in Indiana. I have not yet felt the great winds, though I am assured it can blow' here. I am expecting it, and want to test a real genuine wind. It is now 9 o'clock Thursday morning. The sun rose in beauty this morning. It is a lovely day. I write in haste, and will give you more anon. G. W. P. A Terrific Hurricane. St. Lours, March 8. A most terrific hurricane passed over a portion of East St. Louis between two and three o'clock this afternoon. The wind first commenced from the southeast, accompanied by a brisk shower, but suddenly veered to the southwest, and came with a fury and force never before witnessed in this latitude. It first struck the elevator on the bank of the river, and took part of its roof off, and passing on in a due northeast direction, it totally demolished the freight depot of the St. Louis and Yandalia Railroad, 800 feet long by 100 feet wide, and a water tank 80 feet high, the freight and passenger depot of the Southeastern railroad, two freight depots, portion of passenger depot and ticket office, the large round house of tho Chicago and Alton Railroad, the car house, scale office and part of one freight depot of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, the freight and passenger depot - of the Toledo and Wabash road, and a num ber of dwelling houses in the vicinity. A potion of the roof of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis depot was blown off. Nearly all the derricks and other appliances used in the construction of the bridge were torn from their places and blow into the river. Everything within a width of from two ta three hundred yards was ac tually torn to pieces. A whole train of cars, including a thirty-ton locomotives was blown from the track and hurled some forty feet into a slough. LATER. Another train of thirty cars laden with grain was overthrown and smashed, and one car was blown into the river. A train coming in on the Terre Haute road, when at Brooklyn, three miles north of East St Louis, was blown from the track, and some forty cars standing on the side of the side of the Toledo and Wabash, and Chi cago and Alton Railroad, about nine mile out, were overthrown. The Round House of the Chicago and Alton Road, after being blown down, caught fire from an engine inside and its ruins burned. -The engineer of the locomotive was burned to death. The number ofwounded and killed cannot be stated to-night, but seven are known to be killed and between thirty and fort seriously and ome dangerously wounded, and good many more slightly injured It is believed a nuiu ber of persons are sti.l buried beneath the ruio.The scene is frightful. Houses are torn to fragments; others unroofed or upset and still others carried bodily from their foundations. Scarcely a building or tree or anything else within the track of the storm is standing. The wreck and ruin is complete. The pecuniary loste are estimated as follows: Chicago and Al ton railroad, $a00,000; Ohio and Mississ ippi, S200,UOO: Toledo and Wabash $125,000; St Louiiand Var.dlia,S50 000 Southeastern. $30,000; Wiggins' br -j Company, $25,000 To or three ieiu boats lying on the eastern side of the river were also very seriously damaged. Circuit Court. Circuit Court, Judge llanna presiding, will convene in this city on Monday. One of the most important cases that will came before the court will be that of Hart Epstein vs. Henry Adler for dam ages claim laid at $20,000 for engaging . 1 I s t 1 . - . in toe I'rv uooas ousiness in liawreoceburgh contrary to his agreement with Mr. Epstein not to do so. We suppose Mr. Adler will claim that he has not so engag ed so on the hinge has or hasn't will turn the result of the suit. There is a report that the Grand Jury will probably indict Mr. L. B.
