EvANSVILLE is terribly enraged over the exaggerated reports of the prevalence of cholera inthat eity. The New Albany Standard, which gave currency to these statementJ:2 is being savagely excoriated for its “indiseretion.”

IT has become quite fashionable for & certain class of papers' to speak;bf Gov. Hendricks as being hostile 'to Irishmen. - This is the veriest nonsense. He regards and treats all men according to their merits, regardless of nativity.

- HoN. M. C. KERr has returned his extra pay to the United States Treaswry. . We were well satisfied that he is too honorable to do anything else. And this again reminds us of the disgraceful fact that the people of Indiana last October actually preferred a poor little poppinjay (Billy Williams) to so true a publie servant as Michael . Kerr! - e

BusiNEss MEN and other patrons of* express companies will be pleased to learn that inarecent case, tried at Kittawning, Pa., Judge Logan decided that express companies are bound to deliver goods to persons in town to whom they are addressed without additional charge. -The case was taken to the Supreme Court and the decision of the court below sustained!

How. Cyrus L. Duxmay, Judge of the Floyd Circuit court, gives it as his opinion that there is no right of appeal from the deeision of the County Commissioners, -and that that body:is the final arbiter on thie subject of license or no license.. Judge Dunham is an able jurist, but we entertain very sérious doubts as to his striking the correct key in this particular instance.

- Two Jubaes—Judge IHowland, of Indianapolis, and Judge Patterson, of Sullivan county—have decided that the new liquor law does not require a petition for the granting of a permit to be signed by a majority or those actually, voting, but simply a majority of the le'gal voters of a ward, town or township, as the case may be. They differ in toto from the opinion of Attorney General Denny. =

THE number of Farmers’ Gl‘ml};;.:;i's increasing rapidly. An official statement of the number up to May 1 shows the following result: Arkansas 15, California 8, Georgia 16, Illinois 431, Indiana 142; Towa 1,507, Kansas 128, Michigan 24, Minnesota 210, Nebraska 190, Ohio 47, South. (farolina 118, Tennessee 13, Vermont 22, Wisconsin 140, making an organization in the United States of 3,377 granges, with an aggregate membership of over 2,000,000.— Auid this, it is stated, is only a beginning. | i :

I'T SEEMS to be the general opinion that the mob which put Delos Heffron to a speedy death was composed mainly of the same men who a few years ago hung the Reno desperado at New Albany. It is also stated -that the action of the court.last Thursday, in continuing Heffron’s -case to the next termy was taken as an indication that he would escape punishment for his eri 1511(}',' as he did on a previous occasion, whengit is said, he got off by means of" a packed jury. This probably had the effect of bringing the affair'to a crisis. Southern Indiana is getting.to be a dangerous place for murderers and robbers.. !

Tae Indianapolis Sentinel and the Journal have just closed a bitter controversy over the former’s assertion that President Grant was drunk on the occasion of hig recent. visit to the ‘city of Chicago.- We wonder that these “metropolitan” journals should waste so much valuable space upon such a matter. There seems to be very little doubt that Grant is particularly fond of a semi-6ccasional “gniffer” and even becomes unsteady about the knees, but what’s the use of making a fuss now ? . Didn’t he settle that little matter by beating a teetotaler by 600,000 majority less than eight months ago ? e . e

* CONCERNING Ben. Butler’s gubernatorial aspirations, the N. Y. Z'7ibune publishes a lengthy letter which closes as follows: “The present prospect is that Gen. Butler will gain the nomination through the aid of the Administration and the use of party machinery, to which he will be further helped by the dissatisfaction with Gov. Washburn’s course on the liquor legislation of the State. The same influences will do much to insure his election, and a large accession from thie Democratic party will also greatly contribute to this end.” If the latter remark be well founded, we need no longer wonder that Democracy is ‘belsow par in Massachusetts. e

i THE COOLEST THING on record is the remark of Billy Williams that ““there is not an editor in the District capable of writing a sensible article.” This, in view of the fact that Billy is wholly incapable of writing a correct sentence, and is .woefully ignorant as to orthography, and punctuation, comes with the poorest grace imaginablé, But so we go. "When a miserable one-horse politician is completely. played out—thanks to a bold, unpurchasable press—he invariably hurls his maledictions at the men who give expression to the true “sentiments of an outraged people. Whatever Billy amay say of the newspaper fraternity, they have the satisfaction of knowing that his displeasure was incurred by a faithful discharge of their duties, while he has brought the ill-will of the people upon his head by reason of his recreancy to the public interest and his shameful assault upon the national freasury, | . . e

'~ DESIST, GENTLEMEN'! - Every now and then some ambitious politician or restless agitatorofforeign birth raises his voicein favd'i'@“fofﬁi% ing an organization” for the«protec-: tion of the “rights” oghe Gééman %ﬁ Irish elements, or ratlier for asserting the power which either is capable of exerting upon the politics of the coun-. tr){.ﬁ £ll “tpf.a ¢ity of Chicago Mr. A. C. Hesing, who for a number of years A Béet A Teader" Aimong the German Republicans,: has done his utmost toward establishing a German party for the ostensible purpose of annulling the laws for the regulation of the liguor traffic. - *At first this movement seemed to meet with considerable favor among his_ countrymen, but the return of the “sober second thought” has had the effect of producing*a reaction. Intelligent Germans, suspicious of the motives that doubtless governed that demagogue, now take a more rational view of .the situation and array themselvés_against the mischievous policy of creating a new species of Know-Nothingism. . They argue, very seunsibly, that opposition to ob‘noxious laws should not, be ‘made in: the name and in behalf: 6’f_ any particular natioua,_lity,‘ but by the peogple . generally, regardless of nationality.— This is indeed the only proper course.: Whatever errors. may have been committed by law-enatting authorities should be combatted in the name of American citizenship. Away with this exclusiveness; away with all attempts at distinet organizations based upon nationality! ' Equally reprehensible is the movement on part of certain Irishmen who contemplate meeting at Cleveland during the present mounth for the purpose of forming an “Irish Union”, the object of whieh is boldly avowed to be that of using the Irish vote to secure the election of Irish aspirants to office. Heartily glad are we to be enabled to say that this movement, like the Hesing schenyg, encounters decided opposition among .men of Irish Dirth.— That able and influential journal, the Boston Pilot, expresses its dissent 'ln very, emphatic terms.— It declares that. “the Irishman who would proscribe a native American and the native' American who would proscribe an Irishman, are guilty of the same crime against the principles of the Constitution. But the Irishman is guilty of more than the other. "When he joins a secret society he is recreant to his religion; when he »joi:n's‘ a proscriptive society he is recreant to his citizenship.” Such a position taken by an intelligent and representative Irish paper like the Pilot is most honorable and commendable, and expresses what the reliable press of all religious or political creeds will concur jn all bver the country.. We have long- since agreed that in a political sense we ‘warit no North and no South; neither do we want an American party, a German party, nor an Irish party, but a Union of all in one homogeneous citizenship. The bad example set by the Know-Nothings of 1854 was quickly’ repudiated by the people, and such will be the fate of all similar scheines now and hereafter. i

Death of the Venerable Jesse R. Grant. Jesse R. Grant, father of President Grant, died last Sunday morning, at his residence in Covington, Ky., agel 77 years and 5 months. The deceased was anative of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania;settled in Clermont Co., Ohio, when yet a boy, éngaged in the tannery business, and in 1821 was married to a farmer’s daughter nanied Hannah Simpson. He subsequken:cly located at Point Pleasant, 0., where the eldest son, Ulysses, was born. A few years later, still following tanning, Mr. Grant removed to Brown county, 0., and thence back .to Clermont county, where he seitled at Bethel and lived and thrived for many pears. In 1855 heremoved to Covington, where he established a tannery.— Soon afterward he went to Galena, 111., where Captain Grant having resigned his: commission in the regular army, joined him in business. Hisson being called to the volunteerservice in Ohio having left him, he retired from active business and returned to Covington where he speculated in cotton, accumulating quite ‘a fortune, until, under President Johnson, he was appointed. to the Covington Post. Office. This office he heM, in spite of the general opposition of the people, until quite recently. He was rather an impetuous old gentleman, and doubtless caused the PreSident considerable annoyance by his wrangles with politicians.— What faults he may -have exhibited will of course now be generously forgiven. ..

"THE MAN for the times has at last turned up. His name is Jewell, his occupation that of a minister of the Gospel, his place of residence Lafayette, Ind. The good things he proposes to do for a suffering people are: “Stop the importation and manufacture, as well as the %ale and use of liquor; break down all monopolies; bring about the repeal of divorce laws; regain for the family the healthful influence it should exert in our social system ; substitute arbitration for war; promote universal ‘love; strengtﬂr the moral attributes of. the gov&fment; enforce home . economy; establish ‘a non-sectarian school system; suppress political partisanship ; supersede selfish political economy by a more philanthropic plan, and defend labor against capital.”

AND now comes the philosophical Musselman with the remark that he has “always enjoyed a Kkiss, and always “shall when we have reason to believe “that it comes from the heart and “pure motives. But wenever wantto “be kissed by any one who does not “love and respect us. Let us all be *“more honest and less suspicious, and “no harm will ever come from a kiss,” Superb, Bro. Musselman. That last plank fits into our platform exactly. Yet, some sort of a feeling creeps over us almost prompting the observation that we wouldn’t be so very particular, after all, Forinstance, if a real neat, handsome girt were bent upon planting a kiss upon ot lips, we'll be hanged if we'd detain her Jong enongh to ascertain her motives,

FROM WASHINGTON. p ANOTHER TRULY GOOD MAN COMES TO Qg};fsi@rablg@ié@timﬁhas been produced by publieations verified by extracts from the Journal, of the Boaxd of Trustees of the Howard University, showing that sixteen thousand dollars has been received by General Howard as President of the University for back pay during.the time he was Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Burean, which was in violation of law. Also, that the funds of the institution have beeri fearfully mismanaged, leaving it heavily in debt. ‘

THE BIGGEST STEAL OF THE AGE. . There is promise that the enormous frauds perpetrated by the Washington City ring will be brought to light. A member of the Distriet Legislature declares the indebtedness of the city to be not short of $15,000,000, and ‘bankruptey unavoidable without help from Congress. If intVestigation be set on. foot, the but’ragq‘oua thieving which will be brought to light will make Tammany frauds,CreditMobilier peculations; and the salary -grab the merest pastimes in comparison. | . ‘WHERE IS HOWARD'S ' BOND ? . In creating the office lately he?d by General lioward, Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, Congress provided that a bond of $50,000 should be filed. It turns out now that this has never been done, or if it were filed it. has disappeared, as well as the bonds of the assistant commiissioners for less amounts, . = _ THE MISSING DOCUMENTS. : Secretary Belknap has ordered that search be made through the vaults of the War Department to see whether it is true, as lately stated, that the valuable records left there by Secretary Stanton have been stolen. . THE COLFAX BOND, ROBBERY. A thoroughly reliable gentleman of this city, who professes’ to be acquainted with=ll the details of the Colfax bond robbery of last winter, asserted publicly the other day that he had a complete desgcription of all the securities, the number of the bonds and tlieir amounts, &e., taken from the late Vice President’s trunk at Baltimore, and that they amounted to nedrly $lOO,OOO. ITe further states that the securities had been recovered, and that all but ten thousand dollars of them were. returned to Colfax. A hundred thousand dollars—that does not indicate the poor man Schuyler would have us believe him to he;, = : i

o TILE CROPS, . The official report of the Agricultural Bureau, just issued, -shows the average increase of cotton acreage over last year nearly twelve per cent. The acreage cultivated will fall eonsiderably below that planted. - The weather gener%ﬂly d,urihg the last week in May was f.zlvoraible, and there was a hopeful 1)1'051)é(ft that the condition of the ci‘op would I'2il)idly improve. The worms and caterpillars have made an early appearancé at various points, and are causing considerable apppe—hension of destructive voyages, -No estimate of the crop is made. The statistical returns of corn completed to June Ist show that the planting of corn in most sections of the country has been much retarded by the excessively wet and cold weather, and that the pests which usually thrive insuch weather, the cut-worms, have com‘menced extensive operations, and are ‘threatening to greatly damage the crop. A later report says that: the wheat crop is looking fully as well as at this time last year. = Oats and rye promise an increased yield. o . MEXICAN CLAIMS, ' -The Mexican Border Claims Commission have finished the examination of the claims for damages submitted to them. Their final report, which has heen sent in to Secretary Fish, covers four hundred cases, involving claims to the amount of $11,000,000.

Death of Hiram Powers. Hiram Powers, the great American sculptor, died at Forence last Friday morning at"’( o’clock, after alingering illness. His early life, says the Chicago Tribune, gave little promise of the artistic -achievements which have placed him in the front rank of sculptors. He was waiter in a hotel, traveling salesman, and apprentice to a clockmaker. It was while working at this trade in Cincinnati that he took ‘his first lessons in sculpture of a Prussian artist, who was makiifig a statue of General Jackson. His natural aptitude for this work was soon manifest to-his friends, and his taste for art led him to accept a position in the Western Museum at Cincinnati, the wax--work department of which was in his charge for seven years. = Nicholas Longworth,impressed with his evident genius, became his patron, and through his generous assistance Powers was enabled, in 1837, when thirty-two years ‘of age, to go to Europe to study his art in the galleries of Florence. He was asdiduous in his application, and in 1838 produced his ideal study of “Eve,”—a work which Thorwaldsen said any sculptor might be proud to claim as his masterpiece. In 1839 he made his model of the “Gireek Slave,” his most popular work, of whieh he has made six duplicates in marble.— Among his other works are the “Fisher Boy,” “I&\E%léﬁgoso,” “Proserpine,” “California,” and “America.” His portrait busts ave the most numerous productions of his chisel, and among them are busts of Adams, Jackson, Webster, Calhoun, Marshall, Everett, and Van Buren, of whiéh that of Calhgun is his masterpiece in that kind of work, . He has died in his sixty-sixth year. Since 1838 he has 'resided in Florence, making only oécasional visits to Rome and other places. ' -

' LYNCH LAW IN INDIANA. A Murderer Shotatin his Cell and Sub-‘-,"f%.' -+ sequently H%i;ged._j;g;‘;‘ 2 o In our issue of last week we brieﬂfgg stated that Dr. Halstead was brutally .muﬁﬁred by Delos %ﬁﬁ?oniaﬁt Salem, ‘Washihgton county.” The particulars of the fatal affray are contained in the annexed paragraph elipped from the New Albany Ledyer: o 3 . “The difficulty O,CC\H‘I‘%(I in the saloon of Heffron, fully fifteen minutes before Halstead came back. The latter, on his return, had a rock in each hand, and was passing the saloon, when Heffron came out with a pistol in his hand, called to Halstead to halt, and commeénced firing. After the first fire Halstead threw arock. Fourshots were fired by Heffron, only the. last one taking effect. He held Halstead by the coat collar and snapped the last cap on the pistol, holding it against the back of his head, and then beat him with the pistol. i The fatal shot was fired from behind into Halstead’s side, and the pistol was l’u.;gd within six inehes of the person and behind the victim. There is great excitement here-in relation to the affair, nothing else scarcely attracting attentioh.” i s ‘

‘ THE MURDERER LYNCHED. | ,Telegrams from “Louisville state that about 2 o’clock last Sunday morn-' ing a body of masked men entered Salem, seized and held as prisoners the town patrolmen, and, proceeding to the jail, demanded the keys of Deputy Sheriff Craycroft, who Iresides in the building. The Sheriff refused to give them up under any peril, wheﬁ he was seized and confined, and a sledge hammer procured, with which the mob forced their way intothe cell 6f Delos Heffron, the murderer of Dr. Halstead. Heffron had watched the progress of the mob which eame thirsting for his blood, and had prepared himself as well as he conld for a desperate resistance, knowing death awaited him if taken, determined to fight to the last. With some pieces of furniture of the cell he stood like a tiger at bay and guarded the door. The mob, kndwh;g the desperate character of the man, and that the first who entered would meet certain death; hesitated to attempt an entrance. They procured balls of twine, and, saturating them with coal oil and turpentine, threw them into the cell, and thrust others foward onthe end of long poles. Having thus lighted up the cell, pl‘ingiflg the victim' into full view, they opened fire on him, firing some twenty shots, one entering his Dreast and another breaking his arm. This incapacitated him from using the chair which he had seized to defend himself,-when a rock thrown at him struek him on the head and knocked him down, and before he could recover he was seized, tied, and dragged out of the cell and jail. “What are you going to do tvith me?” he asked. “Hang you!” “Iwill go along with you,” he said. He was immediately taken to the covered railroad bridge, about thirty feet high, two squares from the jail, where he ‘asked time to pray, but the lynechers replied that they could not wait. A rope was put arqund his neck, and thrown over the rafters of the bridge, and Heffron was pushed off. As soon as he was dead, the lynchers returned to the jail, gathered up everything they had left’ that could afford a clue to their identity, released the Sheriff and guards, and scattered in every direction. None were recognized, and nobody knows by what road they entered or left. .

The body was left hanging till 4 o’elogli, when it -was taken down and taken home. : - ; ~ Only those citizens living near the jail ‘were aware of the affair. Great excitement prevails in the town and vicinity: Heffron kept a drinking saloon, was an active Demoecratic politician, and known as a desperate character. Ie had many bitter enemies, and some warm friends. Some-years ago he killed a man named Johnson, whose widow he afterwards married. She is now a widow again by violence. ——t— el & BE———— - Sheriffs and their Duties. The Sheriff of Gibson county, Ind., calls attention to the new .Jlaw governing the office of Sheriff as enacted by the recent Legislature. Under this law it becomes the duty of the Sheriff to make a levy and offer property for sale within sizty days after he receives his writ. The ‘particular section to which reference is here made reads as follows: 5 : ' . . 'When an execution against the property of any person. isjissued to the sheriff, he shall serve said execution, upon the defendant or defendants in said eounty, and levy the same, if not paid upbn property, and make at least one offer to sell property levied upon within sixty days after such execution comes to his hands, if property can be found, unless otherwise directed by the plaintiff or plaintiffs, or his or their agents. " e : Parties interested in these matters will at once observe what Sheriffs are required to do and should govern themselves accordingly. i i
