"We have no news in reference to the time that the work will be resumed, but the leyal presumption is that as soon as the arrangements can be perfected, the Itoad will be completed at the rarliest practicable moment. "Hail Koad Consolidation. The Ohio and Pennsy lvania from Pittsburg to Crestline, the Ohio and Indiana from Crestline to Fort Wayne, and the Fort Wayne and Chicago Ivail Itoads from Fort Wayne to Chicago in all laying along a distance of 'IGf miles have lieen consolidated into one corporation, called the "Pittsburg, Fort Wavne and Chicago Hail Road Company." We said had been consolidated, but this is not quite so, for it yet lacks the ratification of the stockholders, which is sure. The termsor basis of consolidation differ a little from what we stated yesterday, anJ we correct it then-fore. The stock of each was received into the common fund or consoldaiioii, at the following: Ohio & Pennsylvania at par plus 2()prct. Ohio Si lndi ma, ' Fl. Way im A Chiracs " (i . " The whole to Ik? managed by one Hoard of Directors, composing I ft, of m horn four ar'1 t resid in Pa.; four in Ohio; four in Indiana; two i:i Chicago, and one in New York Cily. This makes one uniform guage, and passes through a fertile region of country which will pay a large tribute to the enterprise. The Ohio Sc Pennsylvania Company are destined to reap a rieh reward for the new enterprise, and the Fri Wayne Sc Chicago Company are relieved from a present emlarrassment, from which the could not he without consolidation. Taking it as a whole, it is clear that all are the gainers, but the Ohio and Pennsylvania the most favored." Presidential Convention. .The first of June, the Democracy of this nation, by their delegates, w ill assemble at Cincinnati, to select candidates for President and Vice President. It U understood that Mr. Bright, Indiana's first choice, requests bis friends not to use his name in the Convention. Mr. Pierce, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Buchanan will be the prominent men, and should either of them be the nominee, wo think there will be no doubt of success. We have carefully looked over the. field, and cannot see a remote probability of the Republicans electing a President. They will probably earn' a few of the Northern States, which is all that can reasonably be expected. Should James Buchanan and Howell Cobb bo the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, wo will hazard the opinion that there w ill be less betting on the Presidential Election next fall, than has been for many years. We took a little excursion into the coun try a few days since, in order to have a short respite from the rattlieg of wagons and carriages and the din of the Medianic'Svhammer, w hich a person is continually annoyed with that lives in us thrivin" a town as Plymouth. We found the firm ers busily rngaged planting their Corn or preparing to plant. The prospect for Wheat was never letter in thi.s county, and a fair nhotr for a good crop of Apples; and last, aWiough not least, we found the Democrats wide awake, and read- to give a god ac count of themselves at the fall elections. The En w a uns IIotkl has leen turned ufn.nt, Ao that it fronts to the south, and was moved about thirty feet cast of Michigan street.

The Swamp Land Commissioner received sealed proposals for 1C10 rods of ditching, on the 7th inst., with the understanding that the purchasers were to take Swamp Land for their pay, or wait until the State officers saw fit in their wisdom to cash their Certificates. When the proposals were opened, it was ascertained that David Broadbent was tho lowest bidder. He bid 15 cents per yard for all except 43 rods; i

(which was principally tamarac,) on that j lnnn this. Our rules for anonymous combe bid 25 cents per yard. Several propo- nUmicalions will be strictlvadhcred to, and

sals were handed in, ranging from IG to 20 cents; but Mr. Broadbent being an experienced hand at the business, could af ford to do the work for less than those who only wanted one ditch. Wo understand he commenced last Monday wtih force of fifteen or twenty hands. Tho Commissioner and Engineer will commence shortly, and level and lay off the remainder of the Swamp Lands, which were not laid off prior to the order for the suspension of the work, and oiler the letting of the ditching at as early a day as possible. Many of our citizens who purchased Swamp Lund, ivith the cxpectioti that it would Ikj drained in a short time, have become discouraged, and fcaiful that the State would not order the Commissioner and Engineer to resume their business again. Whether they have received such orders or not, they have ascertained that thev can sell the contracts f jr ditehingand the purchasers will run the risk of getting their pay; so those interested may expect that the ditching will be let and finished during the present season. In looking over the old records in the Clerk's ofiiee, we find some items which will be news to many who have emigrated to our County of late years, if not in terms'.--in,'. The first marriage license recorded oil the Clerk's books, was issued on the 21st day of June, 1C:3G, by Jeremiah Muncy, Clerk, to John Y. Crusan and Matilda Henderson; from the return we find that ' the ceremony was performed by Wm. G. Pomeroy, Justice of the peac?, on the 23d of June. The first Circuit Court held in Marshall Counly, commenced on the 21th day of October, 1C3G. Present, Hon. S. C. Sample President and Judge, and Peter Schnie der, one of the Associate Judges; (Sidney W illiams was the other Judge, but the rec ord does not show that he was in attendance,) Jeremiah Muneey, Clerk; Abner Caldwell, Sheriff, and Joseph L. Jernegan, State's Attorney, and the Court was open ed in due form of law. The Sheriff then returned the venire, (heretofore issue,) into Court, w ith the following panel Grand Jurors, to-wit: John Houghton, (foreman,) Grove 0. Pomeroy, Samuel B. Patterson, John Benson, John Moor, Wm. Johnson, Jacob Cruman, Abel C. Hickman, George Owens, Wm. Bishop, Enos Ward, William Blakely, Milburn Coe, John Kilgore and John Gibson; Joseph Griffith was sworn as BaililT. On motion of G. A. Everts, John II. Bradly, Wm. O. Boss, Joseph L. Jernegan, G. A. Everts and Jonathan A. Liston were admitted to practice as Attorneys at the Bar, and were severally sworn as such. There was no Jury trial, and but little business of importance transacted during the term. In looking over the record, we find that but few of those who were at that Court, are living in this County at present, and many of them, with whom we were famiüar, have passed away. We notice the following article going the rounds of the Press, and on reflection we recollect that Nathan Brown was a schoolmate of ours in Butler County, Ohio, in the vears ItllC and '17. The List Lncw r l- i Iii t . l of him, he had lieen married twiee, and his wives were Indh dead; so, if he has, nine . living wives, In; has Ifcen married eleven times "A Man with Xixk Wivks. The notorious Xathau llrown, the mcst remarkable bigamist ever known in America, was brought by officer Klliott the other, day, front iiearJefTer.sonvillc, Ind., under :i leijuisit ion from (Jov.

He is noiv safe in Ilutler county jail, at the instance of his seventh wife, a resident of this city. The old sinner is fifiy-three years of age, and has m.nrried thiee wives within two years." luntilfun fnfrfti'mnr.

Wc understand that Mr. Gordon Si Co.,

j have their Steam Saw Mill in operation and arc doing a fine business. It is situated oh tho Peru Si Laportc Itallroad linn about eight miles Huth of Plymouth, and issurrounded by a tin! timbered country. Wt : loam, also, (hat the Company design starting a run of Uurrs, which will bo a matter of great convenience to that part of the county. There are four Steam Saw Mills in successful operation on that Railroad between this place and the south line of this county. Should the road be continued on south of this place, those who have invested their means in mill nrotortv will no A. Vixxedoe is selling his new stock of Groceries and Provisions very cheap for ! ready pay. See Advertisement. We gather from our exchanges that Indiarapolis. New Albany, Vincennes, Terre Haute, Lafayette, Lapoi te, Logansport and Fort "Wayne, gave Democratic majorities at their City elections. These elections are not proof positive that the same towns will go Democratic at tho fall elections, but all thinking men will acknowledge that thev arc a pretty good index. 'C3tf We have a communication from Knox. jmi wllicll wJn rccelvo no otl ti persons wishing to communicate through our columns must send their real n.ime in connection with their articles not for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith, or they may expect to find a place in the stove. The correspondent referred to seems to have a local trouble which has baffied his skill, and makes a very pathetic appeal to the "Democrat" to set things to lights. We have but a few subscribers at Knox not half as many as we ought to have and presume that they areas fully posted about local and personal matters as iudispensiblv neocssary. Pi'ii. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, May ft. Skxatk. On motion of Mr. Mason the Senate took up a resolution reported from the Committee on Foreign Jlelatiotis, declaring that the notice which had leen given by the President to Denmark to terminate the treaty with that government regulating the payment of the Sound Dues, is sufficient, and that no other or further act of Legislation is nceessary toput an end to said treaty, as a part f the law of the land. Mr. Stuart moved to .strike out the latter portion, "and that no other," eVc. Mr. Sumner opposrd the resolution. j The resolution was further debated at! some length, by Stuart, Seward, Critten-! i den, I I II", Bayard and others. Adjourned. Hocsk. The House, as well as the Senate, adopted then report of the Joint Committee of Conference regarding the bill amendatory of the bounty laud law of 1U5Ö IIA. .I.Ii I - I 1 It provides that parole evidence, where no record exists, may be admitted to prove (lie performance of military service, and construes the eighth section of that act to embrace officers, marines, seamen and other persons engaged in the naval service during the llcvolutionary war, and their w idows and minor children, and allowing, to complete the term of service, one day for every twenty miles from the place where the troops were organized to the muster ground, and could return after being discharged. Mr. Pennington offered the following, which was adopted. "Jiesolrvrf, That the President, if compatible with the public interests, communicate such information as may be in hi. possession touching the recent disturbances at Panama, and the interruption on either of the routes on foreign territory beiw;en the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and what measures have been taken for the protection of Amciican interests relative to the same." The House then resumed the consideration of the disagreements to the Deficiency Appropriation Bill. Mr. Giddings earnestly attacked an item for the expenses of the Judiciary in Ohio, and was warmly con(lemuing me application ot money to dis li.'iree. nrrear.-i'es font r.-ief.iiil in inlnrnimf fUJ,itivo slavesto Kentucky, when he suddenly fiinted and fell to the floor. The members immediately rushed to his assistance, and emveyed him to a sofa near an open window, and the House was for a time a scene of much excitement. After various suggestions among the members for a recess, it was agreed to change the business under consideration, and receive the reports for an hour. Mr. Giddings soon returned tocoiisciousness, and was Conveyed from the Hail to his home. iMr Campbell, of Ohio, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported the l'ost Oflice and Mail Appropriation Hill. The House iiassed a bill grantino- unwards of a million and a half acres of land in Iowa to aid in the construction uf rail , , . rt . 11 Vl roans Hierein : against o'.i. Mr. Slmith, of Alabama, from the Com mittee on elections, ri-jwirted a resolution declaring that the parlies in the New Mexico contested election case, be authorized to appear before the House cither in person or by counsel, to defend their resiiectivc claims. Mr. Smith said the resolution was more especially designed for the-.sitting member, Mr. (ialhgos, who cannot speak Fnglish sullieiently well to argue his case before the House. . Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved an interpreter, instead of counsel, lie employed. He was opposed to setting a dangerous precedent, to let counsel appear. Mr. Smith, of Alabama, stated the Committee on Flections hid decided against (alh'gos and in f i.r of Oh io, the contestant, and, showed the n'cvssity of authoi izI ing the employment of counsel. Further

debate took place, when the question passed over.

Mr. (iiddmga having returned to the all, concluded the rem irks m w hich he was engag.'d at the time he fiinted. The Deficiency Bill again being under ronsider.ition, he referred to Kansa affairs ami mo war in uregon, conueinnmg tr.e proceeding in both. The House then adjourned. FURTHER BY THEAMERICA.

Herd-ites from Livpool are to Saturday, the 'J6th, three davs later than those received by the Xoiih America at Quebec. The news was unimportant. Humors were current, and cb aiucd some credit, thaUhe British government was inclined to give way on the position it had assumed in the controversy with tho IT. S. government upon Central American affairs, but the belief was that Mr. Crampton would not be recalled. I he London papers had ob'ained what purported Jo be a copy of the treaty of peace. Hie contents ot the document accorded mainly with what had been anticipated. The epidemic has ceased among the soldiers in the Crimea. An armistice has been established in Asia. The cholera raged fearfully among insurgents against the Porte in Arabia. Thirteen thousand died in one tribe numbering forty-five thousand. Exolaxii. The steamer Canada arrived at Liverpi.MiI on the 20th. In the House of Bords, on Monday, there was a majority against the government of eight, on the second reading of the Church Descriptive bill. In the House of Commons, on Monday, in a discussion touching the expenses contemplated if peace was rejected. Sir. J. Gray said that notwithstanding the display of fire-works and other demonstrations, it would siill be open to parliament, on the question respecting the terms of the peace, to impeach the government if thought necessary. Pauis. At the sitting of the Corps Legislative on Friday, M. Montelambert made a remarkable speech on the freedom of the elective franchise. He denounced Count Cashiering as an accomplice with the government to render universal suflrairo a mockery, and called f r an alteration of the law. St. PKTEusnuiia, 21st. Count Orloff has been appointed President of the Council of Slate. Tliikev.

In tho Liv erpool cotton market, an active speculative dema'id had prevailed, and the quotations re s'.igYdy i n advance of those announced by ihe Persia. The week's business amounted to nearly one hundre i thousand bales, of which almost one-half was taken by speculatois and exporters In breads lu lis there was an improved tone, and prices, on the week, were a shade higher. Provisions were generally firm at abjut former rates. The London money market was, if anything, slightly easier. Consols were rather lower than on the departure of the North America, the closing quotations being 02 & 93. From Washington. Washington, May 0. Mr. Herbert, lvepieseittativo from California, shot the head waiter at Willard's Hotel, this morning. He died instantly. New York, May 1. The JleraUVs Washington correspondent says: "The conduct of tho Uritish naval authorities of San Juan, on the arrival of the steamer Oriziba, about the middle of last month, in surrounding that vessel, and exercising power over her passengers, is deemed by our government as a flagrant L-ich of neutralitv The State Denart - lach ot mit al.t). lln Mate JKpart nt has sent to Ncw 1 ork to procure athbre ment nas sent tocw lorkio pn davits of all the facts, previous to calling Mr. Crampton to an account, as it was under his orders that the Oriziba was interfered with. The result of this proceeding at San Juan has led to the determination to recognize the Walker administration thro' its representative. "As soon as Judge Fvans.of Texas, can obtain the floor, he will deliver a speech in favor of the repeal of our neutrality law s and take strong grounds for the immediate recognition of Nicaragua. "Those in the confidence of the administration say that the new minister will be received so soon as the next steamer arrives, should (Jen. Walker still le in pow er. ISenor Marcoleta predicts that Walker and his men h ive all been hung before this." Nkw York, May 0. The steamship Hermann is coming tip the Hay.

It gives us great pleasure to state that Hon. John Tyler will deliver a lecture in our library, ere the season closes. He has chosen for his subject, as we are informed, a theme pregnant with inteiest the dead of his Cabinet. - And what a galaxy! In that Cabin t were tho accomplished Legare, the elegant and erudite Upshur, the brilliant Gilmer, and those twin giants of their age. Wehster and Calhoun, Scarce ten years have passed since the il - lustrious gallery of statesmen, jurists, and scholors Idled tin; oflices of tho ( ahmet, but one by one the nation has puton mourning for them, and he who gathered themaiound him to bear with him the great responsibilities of his time, and share the heavy duties of his post, lives still to speak their eulogc in.

Requisites of Admission.

There is no ircl r,.n i;nMS any other territory, should be admitted into th.j Union as a State la-fore havin" attained the number of inhabitants lixciliv ,Co!i - giess :is the ratio ,f representation" in the 1 1 use of 1 lepresonta! ives. It is tteculiarl v ja-a inai as a ruie a lerruory should not im constituted a State until it has attained that number of inh.-.bitauts. It is just to the old States, which, however populous, can have no larger representation in the Senate - . jl. i 1 - rit . . , , , . - - than the new State just admitted, with its small population. There is another reason why Kansas should not be admitted at present a weighty reason, we think. As yet, no portion of the public land i:i the Territory and there is little or none else; has been brought i.ito market. The surveys ordered immediately after the organization of the Territory have not been completed. Xo man owns a foot of ths soil. To be sure, under the preemption law, squatters have selected large quantities of land, and will by and by receive titles to it from tho government. but it would be a new thing under the sun ' fi,r a Sl;. (, , iMH.,,H.,,.d out of Territory the title to every foot of which was still in tlx United States. rhe bill reported by Mr. Douglas, from the Commitb-e. on Territories, provides for the admission of Kansas when she, shall have population enougfi to entitle her to oie member of tin; House of K presenLitives, viz: 03, l'2'O. In order to admission, it is provided that the Terriiorial legislature may call a eonvention of delegates to form a constitution. We o;ie Mr. Douglas' own statement ot the remainder of the bill: "The second section proidcs that the convention shall be composed of twice the number of delegates which each district in the proposed State has representatives in the Territorial legislature. At the election of those? delegates it is proposed that all the white male inhabitants w ho shall have attained the age of twenty -one years, and who shall have resided six months in the Territory and three months in the district, may vote, provided they possess the qualifications required by the organic actjf the Territory. ly examination of the precedents, 1 find that it has been usual to prescribe the qualifications of the voters in the act of Congress authorizing the people of the Territories to hold conventions and form constitutions prepatory to their admission into the Union. "The several acts of Congress prepatory to the admission of the following States prescribed a residence varying from three to twelve months as a condition of voting, to-wit: Illinois, six months; Indiana, 12 months; Ohio, 12 months; Mississippi; 12 months; Missouri, 3 months; Louisiana, 12 months; Alabama, 3 months. Most of the other new States formed their constitutions under the authority of their Territorial legislatures without the preliminary action of Congress. In preparing this bill I have adopted the medium according to the precedent runninir through our whole Terri- , , i . ",i , , tonal history six month s residence in the Territory ami three months in the district in which tho vote may be given. ,, i , , , - . . . " Use third and only remaining section r.i i'u -i r .i l . f of the bill nrovules for the usual irratits of , land to be made to the State of Kansas, on the same terms upon which thev have Ixten made to most of the other States. "If there is anything objectionable in the details of the bill, they will be open to amendment, and 1 hail be ready to accept any amendment which my judgement approves." We desire to know what objection any reasonable man can have to this Jan? It guards against foreign intervention, by prescribing salutary ipualiticationscf voters. It secures to the bona fide inhabitants of Kansas the privilege of forming and regulating their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States. Detroit Free J'n'sx. The Issues. The democratic State convention of Maryland clearly comprehend the issues of the coining contest. It resolved: "That in the pending l'rcsidciilinl election arc lo approve n- condemn, lirst, secn-t oath-bound political societies, having for their objects the supreme control of our Government and the proscription of their fellow-men because of thei: birth pla -e; second, the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska bill and the adjustment measure of Ib'oJ; :im1' !mr,ll'' dir.rtly the treas.mable ob- - of lv.I,uljii,;llli.snl ;bi 4 j J i i 1 .1 ism; and these being the important issue directly and immediately presented to oui people, we hold it to be the highest duty of every patriotic citizen of our beloved State, of whatever party, to unite with the democratic republican party in the support of the nominee of the Cincinnati convention, w hose mission it now clearly is to strike down know liothingism, black republicanism, and abolitionism, and firmly establish the pnncijiles of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, thus vindicating the great right of the peojile to regulate their own domestic institutions, subordinate only to the constitution of the United States, and rescuing our country from the perils in which she is involved by fanaticism and political venality." " These are the great issues. They are plain, distinct, unequivocal, and they present just two sides. There is no middle ground that democrats can stand upon, or that any body can stand upon. There can be no compromise. The battle must end in the total overthrow of know nothiiigism, black republicanism and abolitionism, or in their establishment as the controlling power of the government for the next four years. It must event in the inaugeration of the right of the people to form and regulate their domestic institutions, or in the ascension of Congressional control and unlimited authority over the Territories. These issues are naked. They cannot be easily tangled or mystified. So far as the question cf the extension of slavery, into Kansas or elsewhere, is involved, it is Committed wholly to the disposition of Ihe people of the lemtorv alhvted. I hey j will decide it. They will have slavery or ; refuse to have ir, as to them hall seem ! host.

As we have already stated, the abolition brunch of the Fusion, or People's, party had things prdly much their own way at the Statf Convention at Indianapolis on the 1st inst. It was Free Soilism and hatred to the South that gave the Convention all its vitality. Here and there our neighbor of the Tribune for example might bo seen an old fogy who called himself an "American," and who still had faith in Know Xothirigism; but these were few, and lacked decidedly of that enthusiasm and energy which characterized their alwliiion brethren. Whatever courtesy they receivpu ,u l,lc nanus oi the Convention was bej Stowed on them as a boon, and not as a -t nun; i-awhi aint.m r,.,,:. e .i ...ii,.

Dr. Xoil'singer, for Treasurer, is the present incumbent, and obtained all the political reputation he has by marrvingthe dautrh ter of Gen. Howard. He once professed to be a Dem erat. Dr. Kllis, for Auditor, was once a Democrat, but for several years has acted in such a manner as to give him no claim to that name. His sympathies have always leen strongly abolition, and his new pditie.il associations Hale, Seward, Giddings, and Fred Douglass are probably more to his taste than those of National Democrats. Personally the Doctor is clever enough, jnd he made a god oflicer, but he is running the wrong year for Fusionism. The llev. John L. Smith, for Superintendent of Public Instruct!- n appears now to hail from lhtone. He is a Methodist preacher, and has few or no qualifications for the place to which he aspires, lie believes in the divine right of preachers to enter the political arena with other jnditicians.

He goes the wind.; hog for all tho measures of Garrison, llirney,and that class j-'1 nooiiiioinsts. Mr. Stein, for K porter of the Supremo Court, is a Lafayette lawyer.
