ATTORNEY GENERAL, JOHN R. COFFROTH, of Huntington. SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. R. M. CHAPMAN, of Knox. Fewer of Congress Over Suffrage. If Congress bad power to pass the civil rights bill, It has power to prescribe who shall vote in a State. In the Congressional Globs of Friday, February 2fl, we find the following: “QUALIFICATIONS OF ELECTORS. “ Mr. Depress offered the following resolution, upon which he demanded the previous question: Resolved, That it Is the opinion of this House that Congress has no constitutional right to fix the qualifications of electors in the several States. “ The question was taken on seconding the previous question, and there were—ayes 40, noes 68. “ So the previous question was not seconded.” The yeas and nays are not given, and we have not found where Mr. Defrees pressed his resolution to a final vote. Mr. Defrees is a Republican of Indiana, and he has, heretofere, been sustained in his position, above indicated, by the Journal, by Governor Morton, and the Johnson men generally. Where the Journal and Morton stand now, wo do not, of course, pretend to know. But, no man will contend that if Congress can say that a negro shall have all the rights of a white man, in Indiana; that the negro shall sit on the jury with white men, that his children shall go into the schools with those of the white men, that he shall have the right to legally marry the daughter of a white man; no man, we «-y, who admits Congress can do these things, can, by any just process of reasoning, deny that Congress can force Indiana to allow negroes to vote with, and hold office over white men—that It can force her to allow women and minors to vote. The power that can do one of these things can do all of them. But Congress can not do any of these things. The argument is short and conclusive to the contrary. It is this. The States existed before the Constitution and Union, for the States made both. Before the Federal Government was formed, then, the States had the entire control of the right of suffrage, of contracts, schools, jurors, etc.; in short, all their internal affairs were in the hands of the States. Now, the starting point, the fundamental principle, In deciding upon the powers of the Federal Government, is that it has simply the powers the States delegated to it, and that all the rest of governmental power remains with the States, for the simple reason that they had it before the Federal Government was created, and they never gave it away. This residium of power exists somewhere, and as it was with the States before the Fedcderal Government, and was not given to it, it must still remain with the States. The Federal Government was not needed, and was not created to regulate these domestic matters. It was only needed to regulate the common matters of all the States with foreign nations, so that peaco and harmony among all might be thus preserved, and certain matters between the States, viz: as to the force and effect of judgments; and whatever matters it undertook to regulate between the States, it specified in the Constitution,and the extent to which the regulation should extend. But no power was given to Congress to regulate the marital relation, contracts, (except to the extent that it prohibited the States to Impair them, thus admitting they were in the domain of reserved State rights,) suffrage, etc. And when this power is given up to Congress, we may as well abrogate the States at once, as useless and expensive appendages. The Civil Rights bill was a monstrous and very dangerous attempt at usurpation on the part of the central Government. If Congress passss that bill over the President’s veto, we must elect a Congress next fall that will repeal it. Before Johnson took his stand it seemed hoping against hope to Indulge the anticipaand Hbertles ofVhe'RepuUicf ^The °altftu}le 0 of Johnson gives us hope. But he will fail and fall if the people do not sustain him. We must rally to his support and hold up his hands, and encourage his heart, and the Republic may yet live. City Debt. The Journal says the $500 extra to Lanosdale was to pay a debt. What debt? The Journal says the money spent for processions, etc., was in honor of the soldiers. We supposed the soldier receptions were State matters, and paid out of the State treasury; but if there was double pay not to the soldiers, but the home patriots, who got a little sop in the receptions, all right: that is, we would complain ol nothing in this line, if the Republicans had been willing to let the country have the benefit of the soldiers’ hardships and sacrifices in the war to restore the Union. But alas, he is now mocked, and the taxpayers are mocked with the vanity of his labors, because the Republicans now refuse to let the Union, for which the soldiers fought, be accomplished. The Journal says the debt is for draft exemptions. Can that be so in this city of ten thousand Republican voters and no Dem~ ocratst Well, were the Republicans all like Republican candidate Hoss, who said he would not go to fight for the Union, according to published reports of the proceedings of the draft meetings at the time? Patriotic city of Republicans this! Had Terre Haute no soldiers to furnish? Well managed City this of Indianapolis? How much above par is it that Indianapolis city bonds are quoted In New York? We forget, just now. Bleaching. The Journals apology for threatening the life of the President went do. Dead men’s hones sometimes bleach on the ground. Taking the blood out of illve man bleaches him, and wo never heard of bleaching a man, by making him smell brimstone, unless we first sent him to the lake of fire and brimstone. Farmers in Massachusetts used to make their bees smell brimstena hi this way. In the fall of the year. They dug a hole, or pit, in the garden, and. In the darkness of the night, when they could steal upon the bees unawares, they stuck lighted brimstone torches in the pit, and then stealthily and hurriedly placed the hives of bees over the pit and torches, whereupon the bees smelt brimstone; but those bees never made any more honey. The bleaching process, where it is the making of the being to which it Is applied smell brimstone, is a terrible process. It is the last of that being. He never signs vetoes after bei.ig subjected to the pro-

cess.

It will soon he necessary to have a new edition of the dictionary, thus: To cause one to smell brimstone: Bleaching him with brimstone to the extent that he will

cease to write vetoes.

Cincinnati Vollcablatt Sustaining

the Presldsnt’a Vet*.

The Cincinnati Volksblatt, the organ of the German Republicans of Ohio, a paper of largi circulation and great Influence, sustains the President in his veto of the Civil Rights bill.

In its issue of Thursday it says:

“ We have attentively perused the numerous objections urged by President Johnson in his veto message against the Civil Rights bill, and do not hesitate to declare that we find the majority of them well grounded, and fully indorse them. The otyeot of the bill is just and

“ The political life of this nation pulsates through organism which, in their vital functions, can not be checked without endangering the soundness of th* whole. The talk hi this country of a “Republic, one and Indivisible,” of which some of our radical friends may have

NO SUNDAYS FOR LANGSDALE. JOSHYA IS A €>OOI> HI A HI.

The County Auditor’s books exhibit some queer revelations In regard to the administration of township affairs, while under the official charge of Joshua M. W. Langsdale, esq., the present township trustee. In the act providing for the more uniform mode of doing township business, (see Gavin & Hord, Yol. 1., p. 639,) will be found the following provision: Section 14. The trustee, at the time of settling with the board of County commissioners, as provided in section 11 of this act, shall file with said board an itemized statement, verified under oath, of his charges and services as trustee, upon which said commissioners shall allow him such reasonable compensation as they deem just, not to exceed one dollar and fifty cents per day for all time necessarily employed, which shall be paid out of the funds of the proper township. Provided, however, that when such trustee has served but part of a day, he shall he allowed in payment only in proportion to the time spent. The foregoing text should be kept in mind by the tax payers of Centre township, when perusing the following facts, as they appear upon the records of the county auditor. The report of James Turner, trustee, for the year ending March, 1S64, makes the following

- i two tickets before the people for their suffrage on that day; one headed by Langsdale, the candidate oLt the Thad. Stevens disunionists, the other beaded by Henry H. Kelson, the candidate of the irtends of President Johnson and the Union. ‘Old party lines are discarded. So far as politics enter Into this election, it la simply a contest between the disunionists, with Langsdale on one side, and the Union men with Nelson on the other. Bat there is another point in the case, in addition to the one stated, and in addition to that of the individual candidates. Of Mr. Langsdale we shall not speak personally. Those who have known his past course in this city may deacribehis character. Of Mr. Nelson, it ie only necessary to say he is the personification of honesty. He is an old citizen of this city, and none know but to respect him. He is a man of liberal tolerant viows, and no bigot

or persecutor.

But the main question in this coming election is, shall it be an election, and shall we have elections, in future, in Indianapolis? We have had none for years. The pretended ones have been mockeries. They have become a by-word over the State. Shall the character of our elections, and the character of this city be redeemed ? In settling this question, our citizens will be divided on Monday. Langsdale will be supported by the old ballot box stuffers, by the election cheaters, by the moltocrats, the thugs, and slunshot armed murderers and rebels against our laws, classes who hope still to hold away in this city. Ob the other hand, Nelson will be supported by honest citizens, without regard to party, by the friends of law and order, and the good name of our city. Choose ye which side you will take.

Important to Judges of Election. The Judges of Election Tn Concord township, Ross county, Ohio, at the election, rejected the vote of Mr. Peter Stoq&ey, on the alleged ground that he sought to evade the draft. Mr. Stookey brought ault against the said Judges of Election, and the case was heard in the Ross Common Picas, presided over by Judge Dickey, who is a strong Republican in politics. Judge Dickey ruled that the defendants, although they may have acted without malice toward Mr. Stookey, were liable for damages. Of th« case and its termination, the Chilicothe Advertiser makes

IRON RAILING.

Total $6,201 09 We want the tax payers of the township to contrast the figures we have presented, exhibiting the township expenses during the administration of Mr. Turner, for the year ending March, 1864, and those of Mr. Langsdale for the year ending March, 1866. These figures, taken from the public records of the county, make the following exhibit: 1. The township expenses have more than

doubled.

2. Jhe pay of the trustee has increased three fold. a 8. The expenses on account of the poor have increased fourfould. There is another fact that should not b« overlooked. It appears from the report of J. M. W. Langsdale that he had during the past year a large amount of funds in his hands, and that at the end of the year he reports a balance of $7,842 39. Mr. Langsdale is doubtless too good a financier to let that money lay idle. At all late sales of property for delinquent taxes, Mr. Langsdale has been a Urge pursb&snr and many a poor man who, either through neglect, ignorance or inability, has failed to pay his taxes when due, has had to hand over fifty per cent, penalty for redemption to J. M. W. Langsdale, esq., present township trustee and candidate for re-election. - • ' Mr. Langsdale, under oath, be it remem-' bered, and Mr. Langsdale Is a very zealous church member and very harsh In his remarks against his fellow citizens who do not come up to his standard of purity, reports that 363 days during the year ending March, 1866, were necessarily employed by kim in tbe dischargs of his duties as township trustee. This of course must include Sundays. Wc should like to know what duties as township trustee Mr. Langsdale has discharged on Sundays and whether those duties occupied his whole time during the fifty-two Sundays of the year ending March, 1866. The Revised Statutes, G. A H., vol. 1, p. 639, aaya that if a township trustee only serves ivut a part of a day of any during the year, he shall be paid only in preportion to tBetime spent. Baa Mr.LaNGadale devoted the whole of every day of the 363 days of the year ending March, 1866, necessarily employed the Statute reads, in discharging the duties of township trustee? Mr. Turner dr&wed pay for 309 days, but Mr. Langsdale goes the entire figure, and demands compensation for'365 days. ‘ To show how J. M. W. L. discharges hie duty on Sunday, we were told that a man came to town, on one Sunday daring the year past, to get a coffin for a pauper, bat the undertaker informed him that it was useless to apply to Mr. Langsdale, as he would not be disturbed by such applications on Sunday. But Mr. Langsdale certifies that nil hla time was necessarily employed during the ttfty-tw» Sundays of the year ending March, 18667 ' We ask the already overburdened tnx nam ersof this township, Whaf claim Mr. Langsdalb has for reflection ? During the time he has fferved as township trustee, the expenditures have increased enormously, and he lias been careful that a good share of the townOipfunds should go into his pocket. And the people should not forget that, in order te secure his own re-election, he has rtfoaed to let any oue go upon the election boards-bat Ue undoubted party friends, whom, we are in- - ' , ■ • if' . » y- 1 r - *•

strate to the remnant of the party that it is dead by allowing it a representation on thc election i>oards. But whether they believed thc party opposed to them .lend or not, it is just that it should he done, it vomnimencl* itself to every fair-winded mm that election boards ought to be made up troui both political parties. To refuse it is to r:iix- a presumption that the party refusing it intends to commit fraud, and thc result of thc election doc* not mand the respect to thc full extent that it would if all doubt 01 irauu were r—...ov.-x by allowing both parties to be represented on

the boards.

1 believe that three-lourths of all political parties would vote to so constitute the election hoards; and not including thoae who are active politicians, very few men could he found Who would oppose an amngsrncnt that was calculated to preserve th* puritv of the ballot

box.

Why, then, is it that the requeat of the Chairman of the central committee of the Democracy lias not been acceded to with alacrity by the dominant party? Mr. Langsdale, I believe, is generally ooutadered to be doeplv Imbued with the principles of religion and desires to he considered a Christian gentleman, and one that governs himself in hi* fnteroourae with his fellow men on striet principles of justice. The power to constitute the election boards is, I believe, by law lodged in the township truatee. Doe* Mr. Langsdale refuse to meet the Chairman of the Democratic committee on terms of fairness? I suppose not, for to do so would be to stand in antagonism to the moral sentiment of the community. The trouble with Mr. Langsdale I suppose is that he does not feel himself master of the situation, he must defer to those who claim to direct him how to act—the central Republican committee. Left to his own sense of right, and to act as he thinks just, Mr. Langsdale would say: “ Mr. Wilkinson, the request you make of me, to give your party a show on the election boards is fair und just; and desiring to discharge my duties impartially, I will accede to it, and you will please name such men as you desire to be placed on the hoards to represent your party.” If Mr. Langsdale would meet the opposite party In that spirit, ho would command the esteem of every fair minded man In this community, but Mr. Langsdale has not published one word In reply; the inference then is that Mr. Langsdale has sunk tbe Christian gentleman in the cunning, tricky politician, who accepts the pernicious maxim that “ all 1* falrin politics.” Mr. Betaher says, in commenting on this maxim, that “the mind has no kitchen in which to do its dirty work, and a parlor in which to do its clean work.” I quote from memory, and may have lost thc letter, but thc substance is retained, and if Mr. Langsdale persists in refusing to so set as a public officer, and command tbe respect of just thinking men, he must not complain if public opinion shall stamp him “ tricky politician.” But I do not think we are without remedy, even if 3Ir* Langsdale, and the committee who I presume control him, should refuse to make a fair adjustment. There is a power that can control thsm, ant! that U the power of public opinion. Let forty or fifty of our leading citizens, incluctlng bankers, merchants, lawyers, clergy4b#n and others, of nil parties, unite in a request to Mr. Langsdale to constitute the election boards fairly; or let a public meeting be held at the court house this evening by men who prefer tbe right liefore party, and pass a resolution condemning and repudiating mere political tricksters, and no doubt Mr. Langsdale would be ready on Monday morning to obey public opinion. * For the lodiunpeli* Dally Herald.

In a few minutes Tanner came out of the store, and went to rater his wagon, and, placing hi* hand upon the shoulder of IVarcefleld, attempted to pull him out of thc way. when tbe utter struck several iMiok hmiiled blow* with bis murderous weapon, cutting a piece of flesh completely out of Tanner'* liano. and inflicting a wound across tbe •taorht mi*** of hfw Ixvw**!?"•, til0111 to 11 TO-

trude.

The murderer then deliberately walked on to the public square, mounted his horse and rode oil' in full speed, hoping to escajK? from justice. Hiram Hall bappend just at tills juncture to be riding out st the town, and A. G. t ook, who Was rnling his horse to water, coming up, gave that murderer chase and succeeded in taking him prisoner, and brought him before the justice of the |>eacc. While undergoing a preliminary examination and yet in the hands of the officers of the peace, and because no warrant had been Issued for his arrest, hislegal counsel advised bis escape, and outside of roUrt. on the public streets, in violent ami profane language, aided, abetted and assisted a murderer to escape. Mounting his borse, once more he attempted to make his escape, but was closely pursued by the sheriff, constable Teeny and prosecuting attorney Mooney, and once more into court, when upon the most clear and unquestionable evidence, he was committed to jail. Mr. Tanner died this morning at one o’clock, and Ins remains wore conveyed this afternoon to the burying ground near his former resi-

dence.
