Avimpromptu meeting was held in the Court 'Hemse oo "Fri4y :rening, which "was rtfj Dumerouslj attested byear peo- . j-te. The object of the meeting was to take action in regard to the building of (the Lake Sbure, Evahsviiie & South west j Railroad through this County via OUenturg and BroofcviHe.. Sir- G. M. Carlton, at New York City, who is President cf he road, was present; also Col. It. Pat tisoa of Seymour, and several prominent , citizens of Oldenburg. Short speeches i- were made by Mr. Carlton. Col. Patuson, iCol. Farqubsr, Henry Berry, Fielding ' Ilerry and others. ; Aouimittce was appointed to issee an '.skHisss to the people on this all-important Vabject, and also canvassing committees of I three ia each township were appointed.' Oar people app-ear to be in earnest ! o this matter. It we uo not se- , Hjare this road through our County it will ! go north of us, and we will lose its imi uiensa ao vantages, now is the time to make a decided effort 'now or sever. : Let our people be prepared to vote under btandingly and in accordance with their 'best interests. We believe that stock iu this road will be the hist investment that ever was made by Franklin County. What "J j our people? i The New Departure. 1 The resolutions of the recent convention j ot the Montgomery County (Ohio) Democracy, as well as the careful speech of j Mr. Vallaidigham, who was the author of j the resolutions, (sajs the Journal,) cannot ; tail to attract general attention. Wr. Val isuuiguaui nas lonfir Been a recoemzsn I . w 0 - - j leader of the State rights ring of the Deuiocratio party, -and his determination to j turn bis back" -upon the record of his past J life aad that of his party by accepting the j situation, -endorsing the recent amend meats to rhe -Constitution ef the United I States, arad announcing his intention to ' forget the past and devote himself in the j future to the discussion of 'live issues, is a I fvup de main for tha leadership of the Ohio Democracy, and one that will inj crease the interest in the Democratic State Convention, which is to meet at Columbus, Ohio, on the 1st of June, to nominate for Governor and a State ticket. Mr. Vallaodigham has heretofore sympathized with i the Pendleton wing of the Democratic j party, and it will be recollected was made I tha spokesman of 'Gentlemaa George in j the New York convention in 18G9. Hut Mr. Pendleton was not nominated nor j tloctsd President of the United States, I aid, consequently would have oocoo.ciI entious scruples against being sent to the ! Senate of the United States, as the succesI sor to John Sherman, in case the Democracy should carry the Ohio Legislature at the next election. Vallandigham, who is a deep thinker, has concocted this 'new departure, taken the lead, and will make a signal effort to have his views adopted Ly the approaching Ohio State Conversion The Democracy have determined to make a desperate effort to carry the approaching Presidential election, and will not hesitate to eat any amount of dirt or stultify then elves, if by that Cleans they can secure the desired result. We are somewhat anzios" to see what course the Bourbon Democracy of this i state will take upon this questioa. The I Sentinel gives evidence of weakening, and i inuounccs that it accepts the amendments o the constitution io good faith, and that i he Democracy do not propose to enter .'. he canvass of 1S72 upon the issues of the J lead past. So long as the Democratic 5arty is controlled by men who opposed ho war, or never uttered a word of s mI ath:x9d with the Union ana os, or wh. 1 ympathixed with the rebellion, they can lot avoid the issues of the past nor oia they ! leceive the public by any auca 1 .e ? deI lartures' as that proposed by Mr. Vali aodigbam, whose ooly motive is to agiiu i tlace the countjy ia the hands of the Demit ;cratic party.

At a meeting held in (he'Court Hdttse io Greeasburg, Indiana, da the 11th day of May, TS71, to take action in the matter of the Lake Erie. Evansv-ille & South Western Railroad, looking toward the lo cation of that Toad through Decatur Coun ty, and the mating of a survey, and the collection of funds to defray the expenses of said survey. On motion, B. W . V. ilson was appointed Chairman, and V. h. Moafort. Secretary. Col. John S.

Ohio; provided a more practicable route could be obtained thereby, aod provided further, that parties along the line would procure the survey and defray the expenses thereof. A delegation was present from Liberty, Uo ion couety, and through B F. Williams, presented the advantages of the new over the old route through said county. Mr. A. II Campbell bavin? already made a survey from the Est Fork of White Water, to a print near Lacrel, Frairklin county. A letter was then read from Jacob J Hunk, of Laurel. Frankiio county giving the great advantages of the survey through that county. Speeches were then made by Col. Gavin, John S. Nixon and others, after which a committee was appointed to go in advance of the Engineer corps, provide accommodations for them to prevent delay, to visit property holders along the line, to collect money to defray the expen ses of the survey, and to procure, as far as possible, en the road located, the right of way for said road.cocsisiiog ef the following named persons.

Tl.e Etiquirtr is in a quaiiUary over tbe Dajton movement to put Vallandigham in the lead 'Good Lord, good Devil,' is its waitiDg attitude, not knowing- what may hippen. Nevertheless, it musters coursge to say. There are matters in the Montgomery County resolutions which, it is very sale t- a , will not receive the approval of the State Convention, and which should not receive iie endorsement Tlisy haveftuits ot omission ani co ntut-iston They evime a J tire to sail with the wind, aud -is near the water as possible without ettinjj wet The Democracy everywhere believe that tke Cuostitution was altered by fraud and force, aud do not intend to be meily-uiouthed in their expression of the outrage, whatever they may agree upon s to how the amendments shou d be treat . ed in the future, for the sake of stving, if! possible, what is left of constitutional liberty. The Democracy will not agree that j the bonds shall be paid in .gold, but will insist that they be paid iu greenbacks, aud that a sufficient number of new legal tenders shall be issued, not more than three hundied millions in amount, for that is uiply sufficient, with the revenue in hand and io process of reception, to pay eff all be five-twenties. The Treaty. The leading papers of tbe country, irrespective of party, are united and earnest in advocating tbe ratification ot the Treaty ot Washington. Ao intelligent man can read its provisions without being imp res ed with the conviction that tue men who framed it did the very best that was rossible under the cii cumstances. Of course. ! neitber nation fully secured what its rep reseetative beleived it entitled to, and tie Hreaty throughout is pervaded by a spirit of. concession and compromise that leads us to hope that the two great Anglo Saxon nations have met as enemies on the battle-Eeld for the last time When we reflect upon what a trifling pretext Germany ani ranee were embroiled in their late bloody conflict, and oonsider the com plicated and important matters recently put in process of amicable adjustment . by the Joint Mich Commission, whose labors have just closed, we are led to consider this treaty of Washington as one of tbe greatest triumphs cf civilisation: Its ef fects cpoo the two cations directly infer, ested will be good, sod its Tur retching results as so example to other cmiixed nations will rebound to the penaaBent welfare. of mankind.

western Kailroao. From the Seymour Times. binder the law authorising aid to be voted to railroads, the people may -vote to erant their aid In the way of a xlonation, tar the county or township may take stock. The proposition submitted to the people of six townships of Jacksoa County is to determine whether or not they will - take stock. If the vote results in favor of the repositioa. the townships through which the road is to run will take the amount of stock named in the petition and otsler of the Commissioners, lhis stock torever after remains the property of the township, and if it is not of par value it will always be worth something. Tt pan at anv time be converted into cash at its market vahie, whatever that may be, and the proceeds of the sale used by the township in any other way that may be required and will relieve tke people of tax to that extent. The stock will never be entirely without value, but just what it will be worth nomaocan precisely tell. We can only judge from our general knowledge of the value of s-ach - securities. We see that the stock ia all the loading railroads iu this country is quoted at nearly par and some of them above. The following quotation of railroad stock is taken from the Indianapolis Journal of the 11th of May, 1871. to wit: New York Central 99 cts ,- Erie, prefer red 59 cts ; Harlem, 131, Reading, 113. Michigan Central 1,23; La-te Shore, loy, Illinois Central, 105i; Cleveland & Pitts burg, 128; Chiearo & Northwestern, 84; Rock Island 115& Fort Wayne & Chica go, 99; Terre Haure & Alton preierred, 56 Chicago & Alton. 118; Cleveland, Columbus, Cmcinna'i & I uaiauapolis, S9J; O. & M. certificates, 57 J These are quotatious made from actual sales, and not mere imaginary prices. The Jeffersooviile, Madison & Indianapolis stock is worth over 200 per cent on the original stock. This last is a well managed road and has a good business, both of travel and freight, but not better than the new Lake Erie, Evansville & Southwestern lliilway will have after it is built. We sometimes hear men who ought to be in favor of every enterprise that tends to develop the country object to voting in favor of taking township stock in the proposed new road, because the stock will not be worth anything It will be a dead loss, they say. The market value of the stock quoted above shows the utter fallacy of such objection. The stock will always be of some vulue and at no distant day will be at or about par The character of the country through which the road runs, its termination, its connections, thctowos and cities through which it passes shows that it must always command the best of business both as to travel and freight. It traverses a rich and fertile country through out its eu-tire length, aud runs through aome of the richest coal and iron fields io the West. It ra3 through as fine a tim bered couutry as eZ's's anywhere. For a man then to say the siock will never be worth anything is simply siying that the country is so poor that it wi.'1 not produce freight, aod that the people wili not avail themselves of such facilities of ti'tvel. Such objection does injustice to the co'in try, it does injustice to the people, it does injustice to the man who makes it, and if he will look out over his own broad acres and those of his neighbors that now promise an abundant crop, he will see wuh his own eyes an answer to his objection, and we must admit that the road will always , be t good one tor business and its stock i nin.-. a Alton as the rc.id has had time to nio-, as soon : iai'outre an es'ab ihed ani pdrraaoent , .

We know that this will be a pavin road and its stock always of a good mat ket va u, because cipita'its who have m-ide railroad b-isiness and railroad investments a life looa study and who would not put their ro.Miey where it would not pay or would be lot. have chosen thiroute as one they have confidence io They do not simply ak us to build tbe road with our own money and let theoi oper ate it; bat the sy tt us. this is an I'di ana road it must, be organized in Indiana, and under the laws of Iridium, and to do this there must be some stock taken in Indiana, and the benefits resulting from the road will be mainly in Indiana, that is to the towns, cities aod country along the line, but our experiane and observa tion in railroad matters is such that we are willing to pat our money inta it. We will invest four times as much of our money as we ask of you. We will put in the -vork S3 600.000 of our money to the $900,000 we ask of you. Every person then must know that the road will pay, and tbe stock will be valuable, (rood as Lake Shore road stock whicn to-day worth 1091 good! ... fii: f ,- u : .u j.. ... i or theCleveUnd & Vittsburg road at 115 the Fort Wayne & Chictgo road at 99.

They do not want to come here and pay out and squander among? the people along the line that S3 600 000 in digging through hills, throwing up embankments, building bridges. &j , on a road ihaC would never pay, and then g home broken down and bankrupt. Bit they bring it here because they kuow it is a certain, safe, and profitable iovestmenr. If it is safe and profitable for them it is for us, aud we can always get our money back or nearly so by eale of the stock Evansville is situated at the head of low water navigation. At all seasons of the year. steamboats of the heaviest draft can run between tkere and New Orleans. This road brings there a direct connection line between the great " Northern Likes and the head of low water navigation of the Ohio river, and from thence iuto the Mississippi and to . New Orleaos makes this Toad a great through route, a grand trunk line,1" ... . .- " It is. also to be connecting 1'wok in anorner great interoosanio lvni Way, con oecttog the Atlantic ses, board with the jPwffifle Ocean by what jt known as the ! b3

Southern route. Its situation and con

nections, therefore, will always give it lan immense through bu3iaess,-ia addittoo to its local buin. - Its advantages and tot: flections re such that it must and will rank with the best roads in the country, "with Harlem, 'Roadins. Pennsylvania Central, Lake Shore and atber first-class roads -in tbe value of its stock and dividends. The mention of dividends makes it proper to say a few words about that. The stock is onlyvaluable because tbe road pays a dividend. !If the business of, the is so poor that it only "pays running ex pense and yie"d3 no dividend, nor accumulation in any way, t'.ie stock could not be valuable. But thare are no roads, Where the iacome of (hi road, if anything like'half managed,pays ooly running expense. But there are many that pay no dividends because they were built largely on booded eapltai and theincome is ap plied towards the extinguishment of the debt nd interest. But this road is to be built with ready money. No borrowed capital. That will secure early dividends and its steck at or near par. Tt is a fact well known among rail road l esfpitalists that all the east and west roads pay annual dividends to the stocahoiaers which on the original amount of Btock amounts to from 20 to 41) per ceit, annually. They never declare that much divi dend, naming as such at that jute, but by a pressess o'f treating new stock, s ometimes called watering the stock, they increase the amount cf capital stock by converting a part of the earnings or it-come of the road into stock, and dec are a dividen 1 on it. Some of the leading Toads in this way have had their original capital stock dou bled and others increased as much as three times what it origiually ws For instance, a road that set out in tne beginning wit'i a capital stock of $'3,009 0J0 has incr -ae 1 its capital stock to 12.000. 0(0. and as high as 818,000,000 This increase has been upon the earnings of the road no new money was paid in by any person fir this purpose, aud then upon this increased s'tock the usual dividen 1 of 6 8 or 10 per cent, is declared, which air outs ot the original investment to a dividend of from 20 to 40 per cent on alfeast and west through or leading iincs. for they have all such combinations and connections that they all form links in through rou'es. It is said to be true generally that from 40 to 50 per cent of the receipts of any average good road. at. the present rate of charges on freight and pasener fare wi 1 piy all expenses of operating the road and leave the b lance for payment of debts, if any exist, or for divideuds, and -for the operation increasing the sock or other investments. And this increased stock which costs the holder nothing, beine it is the legitimate increase of the stock he j already h 'ds is of the strae value as the original stuck The amount of stock that in some of the old and well managed roadoriginally cost $100 has now grown to 8200 or to S300 in addition to the fair and profit i'e dividends that have been declarel an nually. These coisi-lT tt'Ois show how if is that where there is compe'ition. between roads they can put down the price of freight and travel and still make raonev. and why it is that capitalists are still willing to t-pend their money in building new roads, tha .the stock taken bv anv man or townh!p is a safe and profitable investment. That the stoiA will always be good, and pav reasonable dividend. That the township that vote the appropriation in aid of the rnad will in a fev: years get their money back or nearly so bv sale of stock if they desire it, and tint the investment on our part may amount to at nuist a loao and nver will ha a dead loss.

The evidence -of UeflVen and Bingham was read this afternoon on behalf of the defense The United States grand jury, in its re port to the presiding judges, is quite severe upon tbe subordinates of revenue officers. It says tbe jury felt it a duty iu some way to call attention to the neee-sity of greater care being observed bv revenue oificers and all beads of departments in the selec tiou of their deputies, and to exercise a more riid scrutiuy iuto all the;r t-muial acts under tbe law that none but the most taithful and competent persons may be employed in any c.pcity, aod all objectionable persons now in tbe service may be sum ni-uiiy dismissed, whereby the good will of all cttizeus may be assured that the government and laws are respected and obeyed, and all taxes faithfully assessed by the officers and cheerfully paid by the pe-'ple. We can not less strongly urge these points from the information before us, incideu'ally obtained. Paris has again faiien, and the struggle for the fuil possession of the Freucti me tropoiis draws near an end. At hi f past two o'clock S in lay afternoon the Versailles troops entered the city from two points, one on tha south and the other on the southwest, and the communists deserted the ramparts. This conclusion of the fierce and brute! reign of the communists will be hailed with gladness by the whole world Whatever the future of France aod Paris, whatever the form of government that finally falls to this unhappy people, nothing they wilt be called upon to eudure will be worse than this wild, reckless, irresponsible, murderous mobocruey. Napoteonism is better than anarchy, than oommuoisiu. Let us hope the latt scene in this bloody tragedy will soon enacted. GtzaiU.
