PAY ALL JUST DUES. Mr. Thomas K. Holdrook will cull on all agaiiist whom wo have accounts for printing and advertising, for payment. Let all prepare to meet hi in. All having unsettled accnuntsagiiinst us aro requested to make them out at once, so thutthey will be ready for settlement when called on. We want to pay every cont we owe and we want all that owe us to do the same.

Money Wanted. By reference to the proceed, ings of tlie Council it will be seen that they want to borrow from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. Why is this? By statements made, as a pretext for the high assessment of tax, we were lead to suppose that the city would be entirely free from debt on the first of April, and yet we find the question of borrowing a large amount of money seriously discussed, and that too, at a time, of all others in the year, when the City Treasury should be the fullest. In one month the an. nual statement of the City Finances should be made the time for paying taxes for the year has now nearly expired, and yet there appears to be no money in the

Ireasury, but a pressing demand for a large amount, to anticipate the revenue of next year. We shall keep an eye on the borrowing movement, and try to inform our readers of the why and wherefore. Fire. On Wednesday afternoon afire occurred in the frame buildings Nos. 2 and 4 east Washington street The fire originated under tho roof, and doubtless caught from the flue, and when discovered large volumes of smoke issued through the roof. By the promptness of the firemen the fire was soon extinguished. Tho damage to the building was slight, and fully covered by insurance. The rooms occupied by MessrsPratt & Wright, Hardware, and Conway & Co., Groceries, were flooded with water, doing considerable damage, which is fully covered with insurance. This is another instance in which a large amount of valuable property was saved by the promptness and energy of the Firemen.

New Move. Within a few years past, since the city taxes have become burdensome, some of our heaviest tax payers have built suburban villas, and re. moved just beyond the corporate limits. The ostensible object in this move is to have garden room, wliile the real object is to avoid the city tax. All the benefits of the city are accessible, and the reduction of near one per cent, of tax on their means renders the expenses less. This is all well enough, if it ended there but we see by the Council proceedings that another move is leing made, that may be of some interest to those that have the burthen of taxation to bear. It i3 to exempt from taxation, not only the property o those that live in the vicinity of the city, but that o all estates for which they are administrators, or guardians. If this move is successful, no administrator will be appointed, on largo estates, unless h0 lives outside of the city, so that this one per cent of taxes can be saved on all notes, accounts, stock, bonds

&c. While the committee to whom this subject was referred have it under consideration, we would also invito their attention to section 81, of the City Charter, which is in words and substance as follows, to-wit: Sec. 81. Whenever there shall bo lots laid oil' and platted, adjoining such city, and a record of the same is made in the recorder's office in the proper county, the common council may, by a resolution of the board, extend the boundary of such city so as to include such lots ; and the lots thus annexed shall thereafter form a part of such city, and be within the jurisdiction of the same. The common council shall immediately thereafter file a copy of such resolution, together with plat and map of survey, defining the metes and boundaries

ot such addition, in the office of the recorder aforesaid,

wiucii piat snail De recorded. Should this fail to meet the case, we would refer to sections 82 and 83, of thesame act If suburban properly is assessed at $1,000 per acre, and taxed one per cent, for city purposes, we should soon hoar that it is

very inconvenient to live so far from business, and church, and lectures, and schools, and markets, and the stores, etc. etc. '

Foheign News. We publish to-day interesting details of news from Salt Lake City to the 25th of December, and from Camp Scott, the headquarters of the military expedition, to tho 9th of January. The accounts from Camp Scott are highly favorable. The weather was mild for the season, and the troops in good health and spirits. The extemporaneous court organized by Judge Eckels in Green county had found bills of indictment for high treason against Brigham Youn" and other prominent Mormon leaders. From Salt Lake City, by way of California, we have files of the Desert Aews, containing Brigham Young's messege to the Utah Legislature. After alluding to the condition of the Territory as regards agriculture, the mechanic arts, mining, education, the policy pursued towards the Indians, and the mail contract, he discusses the difficulties of the Saints with the gentiles. Having received no official notification of the intention of the government to supersede him in the gubernatorial office, nor of the dispatch of troops to Utah, Young offeets to regard tho army at Fort Bridger and the civil authorities there as an organized mob, against which ho has already fulminated a proclamation to disperse; and he calls upon the Legislature to adopt such measures as may be deemed proper in the premises. The Legislature thereupon passed resolutions expressing their entire confidence in Brigham Young, and their determination to sustain him. It also passed a law attaching Green county to Salt Lake county, with the view, probably of nullifying some of the proceedings of the United States Court which had opened thereby Judge Eckels. The reports relative to the scarcity of dry goods and other supplies in Salt Lake City are confirmed by the remarks of one of the Mormon bishops in a discourse to the faithful, which may be found elsewhere. The arival of the steainshipAmerica at Halifax on Saturday, from Liverpool 13th ult., places us in possession of three days later European intelligence. The news, in a financial point of view, is important The

Bank of England had reduced the rate of interest to three per cent, and consols had advanced to 96 J. The cotton market was unusually active, at a considerable advance in prices, while breadstullV were correspondingly depressed. A shocking catastrophe had occurred on the coast of England. The ship Leander, Captain Curtis, of

.uain, iue., and the steamer JNorth America, came m collision, and in a short time after the ship sunk, car

rying down with her the captain's wife, the second mate and eight of the crew. The captain and the balance of the crew, eleven in number, were fortunately rescued. There is but little political news of importance by this arrival. Lord Palmerston had introduced a bill in the British Parliament providing for the transfer of the governmental control of India to the Crown. In Franco reports were in circulation of the resignations of Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War, and of Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The detected revolutionary plot in Madrid turned out to

Young Men's Christian Association Lectures. The Lecture Committee of this Association have been annoyed by receiving no replies to letters, repeatedly written to Chicago, where Rev. Starr Kino directed them to write if they desired him to lecture. They have, from others, just learned that he has been at Chicago, and has gone back East, disappointing most of his Western appointments. The Lecture Committee expect to announce the last lecture of the course next Friday night iST Advertisers will remember that the Locomotive has a larger circulation in this city and vicinity than any other paper, for evidence of which see the Official Letter List Our prices for advertising are lower than any other weekly paper, and the circulation greatly larger.

IPT We copy tbe following article from the Lawrence Republican, published at Lawrence, K. T., on the 18th of February : Quite a large mass meeting was held in this city on Saturday last, subsequent to the final adjournment of the Legislative Assembly. Gen. Lane made a speech in the forenoon as a reply to President Buchanan's special Kansas Message. It will be found on our first page. The afternoon and evening were consumed in a.sort of running discussion of the various policies to be pursued in our present emergency, and more particularly in case the Lecompton Constitution should pass Conuress. and the Free-Srnto

men obtain control of the government under it. A great deal was said, sionifirant ennnrrL ;n ;t,ic

but far more so as indicating a settled determi nah'nn nn

the part of some persons to run that infamous

ment should Free-State men obtain control of it. One man even went so far as to propose that, if the FreeState men should have a niaioritv in the T,ro-;l.iriv,

they should proceed to elect tiro United Stales l&nators'. Others, more wary, artfully covered tin thp fnr

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. . This convention was called to order at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, and was permanently organized by the selection of the following officers : s President. Hon. O. P. Morton. ' AriCE Presidents. Jno. D. Bruler, of Spencer ; Alfred Hays, of Scott ; AVm. M. Dunn, of Jefferson ; George Holland, of Franklin ; AVilliam Rifiher, of Henry; Nathan Early wine, of Shelby; George K. Steele, of Parke ; John Beard, of Montgomery ; Thos. S. Stanfield, of St. Joseph ; AArm. Mitchell, of Noble ; Robert Cissna, of AVabash. Secretaries. B. R. Sulgrove, of Indianapolis; C. AV. Brown, of Putnam ; Judge Metcalf, of Elkhart ; Mr. Andrews, of Posey ; Leonidas Sexton, of Rush. Tho following was reported by a committee of two from each congressional district as the platform. 1. That our National Government ought to be so administered as to promote harmony between the different sections of our country, secure the affections of all the people of the United States, and command the respect of the Nations of the earth.

2. That the peop le of a Territory, when they come to form a constitution preparatory to their admission into the Union as a State have the right to adopt such a constitution, being Republican in form, as may bo acceptable to themselves, and that no State ought to be received into the Union before the constitution thereof has been fully and fairly submitted to the people for their adoption or rejection, and received the approval of the majority of its legal voters. 3. That the attempt now being so persistently made by the present administration to imposo upon Kansas the Lecompton Constitution, notoriously obnoxious to the great majority of her citizens, and with no other object tian to force upon them institutions against which they have repeatedly and most earnestly protested, is a, gross outrage upon the rights of the people ot that Territory, and calculated to disturb the peace and harmony of the country. 4. That Freedom is National and Slavery Sectional, and that we do most earnestly protest against and denounce the dangerous and alarming doctrine first promulgated by the disunionistsand nullifiersof the South, that the Constitution of the United States of itself carries slavery into, and p:ot c', it in, all the territories of the United States, and this doctrine and all its sup

porters, maintainers and defenders, whether in or out

ot authority, wo here pledge ourselves to resist and oppose, as enemies to the peace and welfare of the country. 5. That we re-affirm the doctrine, that Congress has the constitutional power to exclude slavery from the national territories, notwithstanding the extrajudicial opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States to tho contrary. 6. That we disclaim any right to interfere with slavery in the States where it exists under the shield of State Sovereignty, but we oppose now, as heretofore, its extension into any of the territories, and will use all proper and constitutional means to prevent such extension. 7. That we do not straggle for a more party triumph, but for the right, and the good of our whole country, and that wo honor those political opponents who have had the manliness to place themselves in opposition to the administration in its assault upon the fundamental principles of American liberty.

a. lliat Jesse V. Bright and Graham N. iitch are not of right the representatives of this State in the

Senate of the United States, and ourht to be immedi

ately ousted tnercliom.

9. J. hat we will always resist the scheme of selfish

and unscrupulous persons, high in power, having for its object the re-transfer of the AVabash and Erie Ca

nal trom the bondholders to the State.

10. That we are in favor of srantina to actual set-

tiers on tne public lands a homestead ot at least 160

acres.

3T There is an article selling throughout the coun

as a remedy for Liver Complaints. AVe have referred

to Dr. oanford s Lnvigorator or Liver Remedy

that has performed cures most too great to believe, were

t not tor the undoubted evidence that accompany the

testimonials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known

lor Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debility that so often baflles the skill of our most eminent physicians. Dr. Sanford has been for a lone time one of the em

inent physicians of New York, and it is said, that most of his cases were treated with the lnvigorator with

such invariable success that he has been induced to of-

r it as a family medicine, and let the world have the

benefit of his discovery. If those -who are troubled

with debility, headache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, will try a bottle, we think they miaht save physi

INDIANA CENTRAL RAILAVAY. AVe have before us the sixth annual report of the

Indiana Central Railway Company. It is full, clear,

and explicit, presenting the condition of this excellent road in a fair manner. As most of. ouf readers are interested in the workings of the railroad system of the State, we present the following extracts from this report :

"Our road bed and superstructure have been kent

in excellent condition, and our Rolling Stock, inferior to no other stock in the country, has been found ample to perform all the service demanded, and would have been sufficient to have done fifty per cent, more business than has been required of it ; so that, unless

some extraordinary matter occur, we shall require no other outlay for Rolling Stock for some time to come, other than to keep what we have in proper repair to do efficient service. Our passenger and freight service has been done

with great promptness and to general satisfaction, and we are gratified to be able to report to you that no ac

cident has occurred resulting in injury to any of our numerous passengers, nor has any accident occurred resulting in material injury to any of our trains operating the line. The superintendence of the operations of the line, and also of the repairs of the road, and or the rolling stock, have been vigilantly and successfully performed by those in charge of the various departments ; and we owe very much to the careful and skillful conduct and attention of our supervising officers, and the faithful and prompt attention of our employees in charge of our trains for the successs and security of our business, and the popularity of our road as a great arterial line of travel. The past year has been a very extraordinary one, and trying in an extreme degree to all Railways East and Arest. In tho AA'est, from the 1st of February last, there has scarcely been a week, nor even a day, but what the rivers of the Ohio Valley have been in good navigable stage, and have afforded the means of cheap transportation and keen competition for passengers and freights, and, we doubt not, that by this meanswe have been deprived of more business than our earnings show a decline from the previous year. It is not our

place to regret the unusual cheap means of conveyance thus afforded the people. Railways have been constructed to supply cheap and useful channels of travel and transportation, and justly merit the cheerful patronage of the public, and rely on the fact that usually the want of cheanerfat 'ilit.ics will not nnlv run.

der our lines indispensiblo to the public, but profitable to both parties. The severe monetary revulsion rendered it much more difficult to negotiate exchanges and sales of our second mortgage 10 per cent, bonds than we expected at our last Annual Report. But, with all the difficulties to be encountered, we have succeeded in fctkin-r up within the year $319,300 of our domestic bonds, principally by exchanging the second mortgage 10 per cent bonds for them, and we hope, during the present year, to be able to take up the residue of the domestic bonds in the same way. If we can succeed in effecting such exchanges we feel satisfied that we can resume the payment of dividends on our stock which we have felt constrained to suspend during the past year. If we can accomplish the funding of our indebtedness, so far as to pay the intiPrpsI-. nn it-wp ran lav a dl--

mg fund of $10,000 per annum, and still pay a reasonable dividend to our Stockholders. During the past year we reduced our unfunded debt some $10,000, and paid in redemption of our 10 per cont domestic bonds, in cash, $22,800. It was deemed best by the Board, during last summer and fall, to sustain our credit and good faith to the holders of our 10 percent, bonds, matured and about to mature', to offer them inducements to exchange for our second mortgage bonds. Some of them having objected that the bonds had too long to run,
