Tise Twentieth Annual F-ir of the FmnfeTrn County Agricultural Society, lelfilsst efk, wssvery numerously attended, the resrber being pleasant. The nstries numbered over eleven hundred, being mora tbac those of any year during -the-existenes of the Society, and the toceipts ($1,330) are fully up io the average. The show in many 'of the departments wa better than ever before that )f the fruit department rivaling the State JTair. There was good display of bogs sad sheep, and a very fioe show of cattle; alsosn unusually large number of horses of-all kiors. The trials ef speed in horses did -not partke -of the nature of horseracing, though there wera many entries For trotting and pacior, somo of which here from adjoining countias, and these trials resulted in the uusl average of peed. There was also a G-ie exhibition of "buggy, -saddle and match horses. Aitotether the STir was a success both fiuauially and iu other Topeets. Correspondents of tho. Cinoionsti Tinges Rod Chronicle and the Indianapolis Jourual were on the ground, and we therefore take the liberty of extracting from their reports. The former paper says: Anlxino t it i o t- a a i j ! r n 03 lnc -P .rnpihBViti.nf.iiofihrrotr and fho show in tuoFtaU the department? is better than ever before. This is encouraging to the ciliiers and friends of the Society, i?iuce it comes on the merits, of the Fair, without resort to anything foreign to the original purpose of the organization. There are no moukeys, bi women, big enaiks," hailooa ascensions, nor vu'gar dancing It is therefore determined that this county can and wil! sustain a Fair without pandering to r somewhat vitiated public t3'c. There is nothing here thst those -sensitive on the subject tisn denominate horse racing. These things reflect credit on the management of the Society under charge of Jackson Lynn, President; F. A. W!i, Vice-Presideut; F. R. A, Jeter, Secretary; It P. C. Barick, Treasurer, aud thirteen Director, selected on account of their fitness; and their fitness'consists etpecially in a personal interest taken in the work. The Society labors under embarrassment in not having a sufficiently large fairground, and not good provisions for the show of fancy work. There ore one hundred and forty five different entries of the handiwork of the women, exclusive of Dairy Products and Flowers. For the display of these H3 articles there is but about one-third enough shed room. It i so crowded that the articles are in some places hanging over one auother, and do cot make the show tbey would if properly displayed. I have seen no Fair where the ladies make a better display than here even under the disadvantages referred to It is the purpose of the Society to sell their tmall Fair Ground and purchsse better pounds. When that is done, the exhibition of this County will rank up to any in Southeastern Iudiana. The Journal sayr: In general terms it may be staled that the exhibition this year is far superior to that of any previous year. Anions the most uoticeable features is the exceedingly large cumber of horses J that have beeu entered l'J2 entries hav ing been made, not so rucli for competition in speed as for gc eral purposes. A aiall ring and smailer picmiuuis tifectuallj keep away all fast stock.

The ppecd made by ilia different horses is considered very good when we take into consideration the suralluesj of the track, it being but a quarter of a uiiie, end beside a very poor ou?, &o that it is almost impossible to force the horses to do their best. Could the track be made larger and put in better condition and large premiums offered for speed, there would then be socio iodueeoients for owners of fast stock to alteud Franklin County Fairs.

.-.r jt- t i The trial of Mrs. Clem commenced at Lebanon, Boons Couuty on Tuesday.

For the Ameriaaa. -McDonald Cheek Again.

C. H. BiNGitAM hm Dcar Sir: Sometime during the last Summer, wbikt reflecting npon matters and thing9 generally, it occurred to we that McDonald Cheek was lying in the Brookville Jail uuder eeotenoe of death, and that he at no very distant day would probably be taken oat nd hanged, and ihat no -one would think or care very much about it. It also occurred to me that public atterition shotild ba directed to the subject, and the people should be induced to enquire whether or net tbe man should be rightly and justly hanged. With that view I wrote the first article published. Crrcrtaista ncce came up nnd I continued to write. When I penned the last piece I took what Ibi iivel to be a fi:rl leave of the subject. For reasons which I eould givo, and which weuld ba deemed sufficient, I rtsu ne my writing. The sul jet upon which I propose to write, is of course that of the prisoner Cheek. His case having been appealed to the Supteme Court of the State, it may ba said that it is in the bapds of the Courts exclusively, ani that it would be wrong to write or print anything upou the subject. This, in ordinary cases, might be true, fi'.t when we reflect that the public mind has been much abused upon the subject, thst false impresions have been made upon P, that an extraordinary effort has beeu made to prejudice the public against the prisoner, we think it a duty which we owe the State, the prisoner, ourselves, and everybody else, to set the matter right before the people. Take auother view of the subject. If you grant Cheek a new trial, and select a jury ia a pnjudiccd neighborhood, made up of prejudiced, partial men, yoa cannot give the prisoner a fair and constitutional trial. For a prejudiced jary cannot be au impartial jury. The Constitution cf the U. S. takes the matter ia baDd and says emphatically that Cheek shall have a speedy trial by aa impartial jury. Jfyou attempt to try biai by a prejudiced, partial jary, his case goes at cuce iuto the U. S. Courts, for contempt of that constitutional provision brings his case clearly under the head of 'cases arising under the Coustiution,' nnd the instrument itself says that the U. S. Courts shall have jurisdiction in ail such eases. A law may be wanting to cary into elfact this provision of the Constitution. I cannot tell. Cat should that 'be the case, it does not change the principle, livery cfiieer sworn to support the Coustitu.ioa is bouud to regard ihe provision. The U. S. Supreme Courf, in the case cf Scott vs. Sandford, be!-.!, to' be sure, that the U. S. Courts could not revise the decisions of tho State Courts ecting under their Cu laws. Cheek's esse is diilerent. Aa attempt to try hici by a partial jury would be in direct conteaspt of that pro-' vision of the Constitution, and would make a clear case aiiring under it. You wili then see the 'propriety of removing all the pnjudiee, till thc partiality, favor or affection, fur either the State or the prisoner, from the minds of the eomnsuuity in which y ou may select thc jury. You may then c;ive McDoOall Cheek a fair trial, and that is all he asks. Sheer, tven-hauded jusuce is all he wants. In order to a bstter understanding of this case, it may bo proper for me to give briefly a history of the quarrel which culminated in tie death ct Thcs. Harrison, said to I ave been a respectable citizen cf Peaibor County, Ind. McDonald Cheek, the man accused of the murder, lived in the neighborhood of Mr. Harrison, and, it is said, is respectubly connected in that country at this time. Youag Cheek at the early age of 17 and tbe daughter of Mr. Harrison were married. Ihey had not lived vety long in that blissful condition until they begin to discover that the couir-e cf true Iovj did t ot always run suiooihly. They of course quarreled, t hope you will not ask me what it was they quarreled about, for I presume they would have sor?;e trouble to answer that question eatitrfaetorily to themselves. Tt;eir trouble increased, perhaps, until they concluded to do as Abraiu end Lot had done many a year before -they parted; the one took the right hand, the other the Kit. It was not long, however, until they tnn'uiily agreed to issue a proclamation of uu!i-?sty, treat the past as a dead issue, u-id ouce mora try the fortune of matrimony. At this time Cheek lived upon a siua'.l farm near Mr. llarrisou's, i patrimony left him by his father. Sach were h3 douiestio troubles, tsiat he concluded to leave hi farm nnd uinovo to AuitM i. lie did so, and there engigod in he bisiness of milling. lie (Check) had not been f!:us engaged very long until he made the acquaintance of two men by tlie o.une of Clem. Those two men wont ta the house of Cheek to board But a short tiu'.e elapsed until another boarder came, md that was the 'green-eyed monster. At this cad point l leave them for a week. If.

'Zion S. S. Exhibition. . 'Friend Bingham, Seeing in your issue of the 15th, instant that an exhibition was to be giveo'uRdur the auspicea of tbe Zion M. E. Sabbath School, and knowing the 'refutation ef said School to be such as to give promise of a first-class entertainment, our mind wes "fully intent on being there, and thither we wended our way. Arriving in ample time, we bad on opportunity of taking a view generally and obtaining a comfortable seat. The bouse was moderately filled with eager spectators, and the stage was arranged in suzh a position as to give the audience a view of the entire School, and was beautifully deeorated and ornamented, presenting an imposing appearance, attributing taste and credit to ibe young ladies. At precisely eight o'clock the exhibition opened by the singing of a very appropriate and soul-stiiking soug entitled 'The Sabbath School Army has gathered oace more. Prayer was then offered by Carrie E. Roberts, a -little girl only six years of age, which held the audience in breathless silence. Were it not for occupying too much of your valuable space, we would give a full account of the interesting and quite lengthy exercises, which consisted of Dialogues, Declamations, Tableaux, Songs, Duetts, and, in-fact. everything that wortid tend to instruct and amuse the most fastidious and iutelligent audience. Notwithstanding the timo allotted them in preparing was limited to a short period, and it being their first attempt, yet the whole performance was carried through with a gracefulness and ease which rtfliced credit and honor on the Zion Sabbath School. Reporter. Sew Trenton, Sept. 25'h, 1S71. Tor the Americaii. Am I My Brotliex-'s Keeper? Long ego 1 kaevv a sprightly boy whose pleasing manners and social uature made him a favorite with all who knew him. Kind and indulgent paren ts permitted the bias of his nature to hava its course. As he -grew up he took part ia all the social gatherings of tbe timcswith a zist known only to a nature such as his. Under circumstances favorable to his right development he would have attained a mast perfect manhood; but, unfortunately, near the home of his youth there flourished that bane cf society a dram-shop. Here he contracted a iovc for drink J but so slow ly and so little was this vicj developed that most of his friends, and among these his pareuts, wore for years unconscious that he was becoming intemperate. He grew to raauhood wi:'a a fair gonsra! c'ractcr, bis wc.;kne?s known to a very few, and married a beautiful and accomplished woman. He continued to live near the Upas that was secretly poisoning his life,

and by-aud-by, wheti the sterner trials of life cam;?, thc destroyer gained more rap idly upon him, aad his intemperance became mere generally noticed. Once conscious that his degradation was known, his sensitive nature was crushed, his selfrespect was gone. From this point onward his descent was rapid. Poverty and sorrow entered his home. His once b2autiiul wife became faded and broken hearted. Maddened by the sight of his ruin, in a moment of despair and desperation he sent a btsilet through his craZid brain, and died by his or. n hand before he had passed thc meridian of lifj. I stood by his mangled form; I saw hisa cold and stilt ia death; I hsard the wail of sorrow that went up to heaven froru the widow and fatherless. The dratascller was aiao there the man who for years had giveu him the poison that led. to his ruin and death for the money that should have been speut for breid. And now this uiau came asd folded the dead bauds of this suicide over the still heart, and closed the lids over the glazed eyes. Gent ly and kiudiy ho seemed to do this sad work. Ho wont to the burial uf his victim; ho helped lower him inio his dishonored grave,- he iiudin piling over him '"tho ciods of the vaiiey." As a good ueighbor aud frieud he seemed to do it all. To me it was like sacrilege; it was horrible to ju4 tbis man, with (lands red with a bro il's blod, i,i th.s proseaoo of hearts he hud crushed by his nefarious luiuess, there iu ths broad light of ihi sua, before hundreds who knew the ruin he had wrought, cioily aiding iu burying his murdered victim, lie si I, "My business is lawiu": I am licenced to do this work; evou the Judge says he wili sustain me iu pouting this liquid death over ruy feiio.v me?!." AsQeea Clcopaira, who hurled her footstool at the head of her postilion, who would have turued asido from running over her fathsr in the streets, shouting ' drive on!"' even so says the Judge, ' drive oa!" Yes, ''drive on," if the law gives tlie power. "Am 1 my brother's keeper?'' Misguided man! over and above, higher and more sacred than human law, is the voice of Hun who says, '-Thy brother's blood ciicili to mo from the groaad," -Woe umw him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttetu thy bottle to him and makest him druuk also." Rf.cord. Tho Jury which tried Bright, tbe Democratic State Printer, for perjury, failed to agree because a part of tbe jury said the .Notary before whom be swore wa3 not authorized by law to administer oaths. This will be a lesson for the State officers, and if th.y accept of any more such vouchers they shonld be held accountable. Wonder if Bright knew otary could not legilly administer the oath?

The Richmond Radical keeps up a con tinual howl about 'Radicals,' as though to be a vRadicai" is to belong to a distinct aud separata organization from the Republican party and yet a kind of superanuated order that the latter is morally bound to keep up and support. The Radical is a paper ol liirge and liberal views, and o.'-coarse cannot bave ayue":fiiu motive ia view in its persistent elfjrts to keep up this distinction. Iu its long and laborious tffjits to keep 'brother George' iu Congress, and i;s several duties of pub lishing the U. S. Laws and running the Ilie'iiuou i Post otSoe, it may have overlooked the fact that the institution that brouijht the term 'Radical' into use, per ishei years auu, and that, too at the hands of the Republican party, which has only beeu in exteteuce for fifteen years. And Abraham Lincolu and Senator Mor ton have douo far more by their acts to blot out tho curse of Slavery than all the ilUtimed '.Radical' speeches of Gidlings, Su in ner, S. evens, Julian, aul others cf their ilk. And yet who ever beard of the &reat and good Abraham Lincolu going about continually tooting his 'radical' kook, or Senator Morton brow-beating bis Republican supporters with a 'radical' club? When tlie institution of slavery perished the distinctive title of 'radical' together with that of 'abolitionist oied with it. In our extensive acquaintance among the Republicans we know of but barely brce rueu who are not willing that the colored man should enjey all thc privileges, immunities and blessings guaranteed to tho white rnau.
