To tho
L.»borlnff Men of
polls*
The County Commissioner*, st their Juno ocsxlon, divided Center township Into four districts for election purposes, with plsces of voting at the First Wsrd schoolhouse, the Court House, tho Fifth W»rd schoolhouse, end the Eighth Ward schoolhouse, thus affording easy facilities for the laboring men to register their names and vote, without losing much time. The arrangement was satisfactory to the laboring men, and they fully appreciated It. Hut tho laboring man’s Interest 1* not the same as that of the bondholder, tb* high protective tarlfl' advocate and those who f^vor negro States and negro equality; hence, something must be done to cheat the poor laboring man out ot his vote, or make him take tho proceeds of one day's labor from hie wife and children, In order that ho may exercise tho great privilege of an American citizen— the right to select bis representatives in the administration of the government. Hut this arrangement, for acme partisan object, is changed, and*nstead of voting at his door, ho must make a Journey to the Court House, and there wait around the polls, perhaps nil day, to exercise tho privilege of voting. Too County Commissioners, before they adjourned on Wednesday, made an order that all the voting must be done at the Court House, giving as a reason for this change and outrage upon the laboring men who llvo In distant parts of the city, that the school board refused to permit the school houses to bo used for voting places. A bad reason Is said to bo better than none nt all, but. certainly n<i' more llimsy pretext lor this change could be Invented. Tho school houses have alwavs >«*»•_•——* emotion purposes, and the ichool board Is certainly assuming Imperial airs when It says to the people, you shall not use your own school houses lor voting places. Hut wo will not charge the school board with making such a silly objection. Tho fact Is, the board has been made tho scapegoat of the bondholders, the negro equality men and the high protected tarlllltcs. who aro determined to crush tho laboring classes to advance their own interests. The true reason for the change is to force the laboring man to lose his vote, or else give up whole day to get tho chance to vote, and then be made to exercise the privilege of the ballot under the eye of the bondholder and negro equality men, the most of whom live In the district where the voting Is to bo done. The object In this change of voting seems to bo to overawe the laboring man and drive him to vote the bondholders’ ticket, or lose his situation. They would not have had the same facility for doing this, If the four established places for registering had remained voting
places.
And again look at the discrimination against tho laboring man. They aro not satisfied with compelling him to go away from his home to v. to, but tho aristocratic bondholder must be furnished double facilities for voting. The second district, comprising that part of the city west of Alabama and Washington streets, the most sparely settled part of the city, and embracing the Hue palatial residences of the bondholder, tho army contraeter, and those who have mauo money out of the misfortunes of tho country, must have two bonrds, while tho first, third and fourth districts, where the laboring classes llvo, and which aro densely populated, can have but one. The blacksmith has to drop his hammer, the carpenter his plane, the bricklayer his trowel, the hod carrier his hod, tho shoemaker his last, and wait and wait until he can secure an opportunity of voting at the one place provided for him; but the bondholder embraces the easy opportunity otiered him by his friends for voting, and goes away, smiling, to Ills bu-
siness.
Hut there Is another reason why this change has been made. The facilities for committing Irsiids aro much greater where all tho voters of the township are brought together than In small election districts. The registry law was passed to prevent fraudulent voting, and what better mode of preventing fraud could be devised than the division of townships Into small districts where the voters know each other, and could prevent those from voting who do not live in tho district, or arc not entitled to vote. It is claimed by tho Journal that there aro more voters registered In the Second District than tho others, hence there Is a necessity for two polls for that district. It Is well known that the registry board of that district took the responsibility, as they had ibe right to do, of placing the name of every voter they knew on the registry. The poor man could not take the time to register in the other districts—hence there Is an apparent larger number of voters in that district. And who Is to be tho Inspector of this second poll In the Second District? James G. Douglass, one of tho proprietors of tho Journal, and a representative of the bondholding Interest. The object of this maneuvering on tho part of the bondholders Is apparent. They hope to secure a victory over the working men, and thus obtain a further lease of power. The county commissioners were evidently ashamed of their work, and did not consummate it until the last hours of their session, so that they might sneak away to their homes, where the just Indignation of the outraged laboring men could not reach them. Laboring men of Indianapolis, will you not demand that the same rights and privileges shall be granted to you us are awarded to the bondholder? If he can have two places for voting, should you not have the same privilege? It Is hard to ask you to lose a whole day to vote when it Is in the power of tho county commissioners to establish convenient voting places for you. If this privilege Is not awarded you, will you not see that the party which dares to thus trifle with your Interests is properly rebuked by your ballots. The Journal on Feulanlam. The Journal volunteers advice to Irish men and women, in regard to Fenlanlsm, pronouncing It an exploded humbug." In a lengthy article upon the subject, It thus sums up Its view of the question: " We hope the Catholic clergy will take up this matter and discuss It full and freely before their congregations. They know that Fenlanlsm Is just like any ism that has gained strength by appeals to sympathy and prejudice. It Is an exploded humbug, and the wonder is that any class of people can be so emfatuated and blind as not to see It. Toe sooner the Irish people understand that the leaders of tble organization are a set of dishonest knaves, the better H will be lor them, as well as for the cause of poor suffering and oppressed Ireland." Fenlanlsm Is apolitical, not a religious question; hence It Is not probable that the Catholic clergy will discuss It before their congregations, or use their position to ii.tluence them upon the matter. And it Is not their province to do so. As long as love of country remains a passion in the human breast, Irishmen will npt forget Ireland, or cease to earnestly desire her liberation from British thraldom. Hardly an event could transpire which would occasion more Intense excitement, or give greater gratlfleatlon throughout the civilized world, than the liberation and Independence of Ire1 tod, and though frequent failures may occur In the efforts made to the aecompllshment of that end, Irishmen will be loth to believe that thoee who may be engaged In an object so near to their hearts "are a set of dishonest knaves." There was a Judas among the twelve apostles, but that fact does not lessen the claims of Christianity upon Ms respect of mankind. MmAlcsl CosiTeiKloa »st fterenteeatii JmAldal Clrcnit.

with caplteMtts. - —
Tho ratcrest waa payable on the first day* of February and August In each and every year. On the 27th day of January, 18C4, Mr. Blgham, then a member of the House of Representatives, and a personal and political friend ot judge Williams, called up a bill which read as follows: "That so much of an act, approved June 12, 1840, as requires the Interest on the public debt of this Commonwealth to bo paid In specie or Us equivalent: and also tbe third lection of an act, approved April 12,1800, bo and the same are hereby repealed. That it shall be the duty of the State Treasurer to pay all the Interest falling due on tho debt of this Commonwealth, on and after tho :>lst of January, 1801, In such notes ns have been or may bo used by the United
States Government.”
This act was put upon its passage at once by :* mover, Mr. Blgham. The Democrats re-

irovlous question, which waa seconded of his colleagues from Allegheny
county. The radicals voted solid in favor of the call. It prevailed, debate was cut off, and the first section of the bill adopted. Every radical vdted for tho section; every Democrat agalnstit. Tbe second section was passed the next day by the same vote. On tho 2!tU). Blgham called up the bill on Its final pasgap* and Messrs. Rice, Sharpe and Hakes, all Democrats, spoke against the bill, and Messrs. Ktnier and Cochrane, all radlcalr, in Its favor. Mr. Kerna, of this city, called theprerinn? v< UWino i*th of March, Mr. Connell, of this city, a radical Senator, called up tho bill in that body, and tho first section was passed by a strict party vote. Messrs. Wallace, Clymer and Beardslee, Democrats, spoke against the bill: Mr. Fleming, radical, in Its favor. Mr.
Wallace, Democrat, laid:
‘ l um opposed to tho repeal of the act of 1810. 1 am against repudiation. Our faith Is plighted and I, as a representative of the people of Tennsylvanla, will never consent that her honor shall be tarnished by the payment of sixty cents when we owe a dollar.” Senator Fleming, radical, in reply to Mr. Wallace, remarked that "the bill proposed to effect a saving to the people to the amount of fifty cents on a dollar,” and that vthe business of the representatives of the people was to save money whenever they could, and the bill should, therefore, pass, as It proposed a saving of at least fifty cents on a dollar.” After further debate, the bill passed the Senate on the 13th of April, 1804, by a strict party vote, the Democrats against it, the radicals in its
favor.
Of the morality of this measure and Its effect upon tbe credit of the State, it seems to us there can be but one opinion among honest men. It is virtual repudiation. That it affected tho creditor the commonwealth is plainly apparent from tbe fact that the radicals at tho last session of the Legislature forced through a hill raising the rate of Interest on our loans from five to six per cent., a rate which will be permanent until their final redemption. Of the outrageous “jobs” and financial tricks perpetrated by the “ring” who ran tho State Treasury In placing this loan, and tho amount of money they have pocketed at the expense of the people, we shall have more to say. We Inquire of the Journal, who are the repudiates? Will it denounce its party friends In I’ennsylvanla for “ this repudiation, rank, dishonest, scoundrelly repudiation?” Or will it, when the repudiation ol Indiana while funder the control of a Republican administration is demonstrated, remain as dumb as an oyster? Who tho TJilovca and Plunderers! The organ of the God and morality party In discussing the subject of finance tho other day, said: "The whole people are taxed In order thata parcel of whisky thieves, who shout for Andrew Johnson, may be able to wallow In wealth acouircd by dodging tho revenue laws, and corrupting ©Ulcers of easy virtue, who are charged with their enforcement. It is notorious that tbe whisky ring in tbe city of New York Is amassing millions in this way. yet the vdlainy goes on unchecked by the PresiReports have been rife for several days In regard to the operations of some "whisky thieves” who occupy official positions in Brooklyn, New York, and It appears they hare been on a large scale. One Captain Callicott, collector of Internal revenue, an older In the radical political church, and an especial pot of Horace Greeley, has come to grief. Thurlow Weed, another eminent saint in the same church, makes the following curious revelations in his paper, the Now York Commercial, in regard to this appointee of Mr. Lincoln: The Third Internal Revenue District has,for four years, not only been rotten Itself, but by its malign influence and example, has demoralized other districts. We Unbred earnestly with Mr. Lincoln to effect a change. But the district belonged especially to the radicals. The collector was the father of the Independent. His deputy was the brother of its editor. 'Ihe Independent then, now, and evermore was the organ of Mr. Chase. When hard pressed—for we were*'after them with a sharp stick’’—they would briog'Tlymouth Church” and Its honored pastor Into the field, on their behalf, whether with his knowledge and approbation, we know not. If he did sustain them, he could not have knewn the extent of their robberies—robberies tc/tfcA enable them to divide Jive, lifteen and twenty thoutand dollars a week, with a man who, until he ' collided” with Uowen, Tappan and Tilton, scarcely knew the use ot a bankbook. Hut after the Government had lost, by frauds, In tbe Third District, a million of dollars, a change waa effected; when, aided by Senator Pierson and other reliable Republicans ol Brooklyn, we prevailed upon tbe Secretary of the Treasury to nominate, and the President to appoint. Colonel Brewster, a gallant soldier and honest man. But for some Incomprehensible reason—though confessealy capable and honest—ho was not contirmed. Then came the struggle for Mr. Greeley’s man, Calltcott, who was backed by "rings” In Brooklyn and Washington. We objected, and protested to tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury and tbe President against Calllcott’s appointment. Coupled with the appointment were others almost, If not quite as bad. And yet, when CsUtcott “ comes to grief,” the Triomne not enly easts him off, but turns him over to us! And its echoes will take up the Tribune’s refrain: ‘Thurlow Weed Jigured then conspicuouily as a champion of Tbe "whisky thief” never shouted for Andrew Johnson. It was not his style. Ills associations wero with tbe radicals of the purest water. Ills robberies, and they were on a large scale, were all in the Interest of the God and morality party. The evidence demonstrates that tb# whisky ring, which ts amassing millions by defrauding tbe revenue, and whoso Influence is demoralizing that interest In tbe country, Is composed of that class of the community who sympathize fully with tbe Moral and political aotltni of the Journal. When such is the fact, Is it at all remarkable that the people are rising from one section of the country to the other, to drive the thieves and plunderers from places of honor and
trusl?

The " Party of Great Moral Ideas.”— An Albany correspondent of tho New Y'ork World says that a plot is on foot to bring the Morning Express, of that city, out as a Chase organ, with Governor Fenton for Vice PresIdent. Money Is wanted to control the Express. A largo part of this is to be furnished by Morris Ketchum, of New Y'ork, In return for which Fenton Is to pardon Ketchum’s son, who Is now In the peniten"— tho too free us* names in his -iiaiicial transactions.

Ktheridge's vote was 15,000, about all white, the aggregate vote In the State being about 80,000. The entire white vcftc in the State, If none were disfranchised, would be 150,000. Only about 3J,000 whites voted, the remainder being disfranchised by radical legislation. The correspondent says: Tbe white population in Ibis State is 1,050,030, and the vote (t in 7) Is 150.000. Brownlow got but 15,000, or one-tenih of these, and the bilarteo voted for Etheridge, or were disfranchised and could not vote at all. Brownlow got the whole radical vote of the State, and all tho negroes but a few hundred, and yet, with all his strength, he did not get a third of tbe entire vote, and not a tenth of the white vote. His own color spit upon and rejected him, and the negroes run him as their man. —The fallowing table shows the elections to be held In various States, tho times, and the officers to bo elected: Iowa—October 8.—Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Institutions, Judges and members of the Legislature.

From the American Agriculturist. Notes on Fanning in Indiana. AYehave heard much of the dairies of the Western Reserve of Ohio, of the blue grass pastures of Kentucky, of the boundless prairies of lllinoi*, and Us seas of Indian corn, but whoever heard of anything remarkable in tho agricultural line In the State of Indiana? That there were farms there, tilled by thinking people, our large list of subscribers testified; but beyond this we looked upon the State as a sort of terra incognita, that needed exploring. Approaching Indianapolis, the capital of the State, by rail, from Columbus. Ohio, our first Impressions were of a new level country, half subdued and imperfectly tilled, yet everywhere giving evidence of the overilowlng riches of its soil. A long the line of the road, one Is rarely ont of sight of broken forests, dead trees and stumps, luxuriant meadows, burdened with grass, oats and corn. The breadth ot wheat Is sown less than in former years, but it is every where good, and the yield is considered satisfactory, though but about one-half what better husbandry would give. The weather has been everything that the farmers could desire during the wheat harvest, clear and sunny, and there will probable be very little sprouted or unsound wheat 1q the market this year.
INDIANAPOLIS.
We rubbed our eyes as we stepped out of tbe depot amid a bustling population of 40,000, into wide streets, with great warehouses and imposing public buildings. This Is the railroad center of the State, and here seven lines dally discharge their passengers and freight. The city has grown quite rapidly in population and wealth during tbe war, and tbe thousands that the necessities of tbe war brought hither seem still to linger. It is a large market town for agricultural produce, and grain Is shipped in large quantities, in favorable seasons, to various points East and South. A railway connects it with Michigan City, upon the lake, and with Jeffersonville, on the Ohio river, nearly opposite Louisville. We found old corn selling at C3 cents a bushel upon tbe cob, reckoning 08 pounds to the Jnishel; and new wheat at $2 a bushel. A farmer’s wagon, loaded with wheat, is said to be quite a novel sight In the streets, the last two years having given very poor crops of this grain. The farmers are thrashing tho wheat as fast as possible, eager to realize good prices while they can. The expectation is general that wheat will bo lower as soon as the harvest is gath-
ered .
The State Agricultural Society has itshcadquarters here in the State House, and is much ahead of the State authorities In its enteprUe. It issued several Interesting volumes of transactions previous to the war, receiving appropriations from the State to foot the bills. These were widely distributed through the State, and did much to quicken tbe zeal of the people in agricultural Improvement. When the war broke out this appropriation was withheld In tbe apasm of very short Ki«kted economy, and no volume baa been published since that of 1859 and 1800. One has been authorized for the present year. Tbe State society owna thirty-six acres of land In the suburbs of tbe city, which has been fitted up as a fair ground. Buildings were put up, and about •9,000 were expended upon them last year. They have a like sum on band, and are making preparations for a State fair at Terre Haute is September. There are ninety-two counties in this State, of which fifty-three have organized societies. Twenty-two were discon-
tinued during the war.
FARM OF F. M. CHURCHMAN.
This gentleman is a banker In tbe city, and resorts to farming In the suburbs, for recreation and health. lie has about two hundred acres, threaded by a brook, which is a pleasant feature In any farm, and much more so here, where clear streams are not ibundant. The home Is a neat w h'to cotlug . bout twenty feet above tbe waUi. The '{furnishes a living spring, which has m u iliz.d for a milk bouse, and to supply a fi it-pond in the valley below. This valley Is shaded by magnificent trees, which have been left from the primitive forests. We found here under the sugar maples and burr oaks, w< u bred Devons from the nerd of Faile, of Wetcbester county, New York. Cotswold sheep from the dock or Mr. Loomis, of Hartford, Connecticut. Chester White pigs end Brahma fowls. This improved stock flourishes et tbe West, and is not likely to lose any of Its good points under the supervision of the present owner. The only danger is that tbe Devons may be* oofoijoo tfX foy breeding in thj? very_abund-
w devsi*
ment in the adjoInlng State of Kentucky, and the beef families of this breed are probably the mostprofltable for Indiana farmers. The Cotswold and Chester Whites are at home
Thsdr ace alto-
gether too stow for this sge. The steam thrasher is mounted upon wheels, and is drawn by horses from place to place, as it is wanted. It costs about 11,700, with all the apparatus ready for running. Tba power may also be use for chaffing straw, bay, and corn stalks, for sawing wood and other purposes. It takes fourteen bands to work It, where the wheat Is brought in from the shocks, and it will dear, ready for market, 500 bushels of wheat in a day. The price of thrashing is eight cents a bushel, wneat straw Is sold In town at $10 a ton lor paper making and tor bedding, and forms an Important Item in the farmer’s profits. The great advantage in the steam thrasher is that It puts the wheat harvest so much . into the power of the farmer. As a rule, wheat stands In the shock until it is thrashed, and the first good weather is availed of to clean the crop and send it to market. As yet, there As no adequate provision made for storing wheat in first hands, and this is one great disadvantage that the producer must l abor under until he secures better barns, lie can not hold oh to bit wheat for a rise, unless be keeps it la stack, and there it Is exposed somewhat to the weather, and still more to the Uej>r<‘ibdionfl of rats and mice. Tens of thousands of bushels of this precious grain are lost almost every year by sprouting and
moulding.
The White river bottom’ are a splendid corn region, and the sun shines upon no richer land. We saw a single field of three hundred acres, whore we were informed that corn bad been planted from the first settlement of the country, and the jleld was still from sixty to one hundred bushels per acre, tn good years. The land is aunutlly overflowed, and, needs uo other fertiliz.T than tKe deposit ol the river. This is the genera! experience upon all the bottom lands of the W'blte and Wabash rivers and their tributaries that are su'ij^ct to overflow. When thegn it length of those givers ami the breadth of their bottoms are recalled, we have somn conception of the vast extent ot the corn lands of the State, which must be Inexhaustible while water runs. tema. —'On Sunday last a drayman named Smith, living near Fort Wayne, was dangerously gored in the neck by a bull. —A brass band, which tho editor of the Journal describes as "sixteen pieces of doubled and twisted brass agony, loaded to the muzzle with direful sounds,” Is operating in Spencer, Owen county. —The Clay county agricultural society will hold Its thirteenth annual exhibition at tho society’s grounds, at Bowling Green,on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th days of September, 1867.

But whether bis life passed away as peaceful as a summer’s Sabbath evening, and the wails of the bereaved and sorrow stricken friends broke forth piteously, because of its deep sincerity, or whether fljwere, bedewed with tears of unfeigned sorrow were planted by the hands of love on the little mound that marked his 1 ist resting place, is a matter of history and has nothing whatever to do with this tale—" O truth 1” Let the dead bury the dead, said a Jewish philosopher eighteen hundred years ago, and so say we, editor in chief of the Tipton Times, k. d., eighteen hundred and slxty-sevea. It’s all that we can do to
keep the living straight.
A few weeks since the town of Boxley was percipitated into a maelstrom of excitement.
The particulars of which,
“ Be silent rhat yon may hear.”
Until lately a widow dwelt there, at whose feet many au ardent lover bad knelt, but whose heart, cr.sconsed as it was, in a bosom of fi aer mould than Grecian chisel ever shaped, seemed invulnerable. Although they vowed love to hoarseness, their supplications were Invariably answered by the fatal “No.” But that rosy god known as cupld, famed for hts sharp arrows, triumphed at last. Her affinity came all covered with jewels and gold, in tbe form of a Yankee pedler. He petitioned with
eloquence.
‘•-Vow she heard him with a sigh. Now she blushed she s new nos w by,” (But us old codgers do). Accordingly a justice was called, with the proper quantity o/ belly, and the two were made one. Apparently a butcher’s cleaver could not have separated them. It was a week and all had went "merry as tbe marriage bell.” In the meantime the Y’ankee had persuaded our heroine to dispose of her property at Boxley town, where. If they remained, he held, they could at best only "blush unseen," and remove to a field wider and commensurate with their acknowledged importance. With tbe sagacity peculiar to his race he managed to ponet the funds and on tbe first bright morning that opportunity offered strngetically decamped. Unknown are his whereabouts.—77pfon Times.
Surratt's quarters have been moved info a second story room of tbe jail, looking south, where he Is ronfined with Johnson, the murderer of his wife’s seducer. Surratt wears his zouave uniform n ost of tbe time. Victoria Is building a new bouse nmorg tin Scottish highlands as a place of retirement.
