The German I band, always ready for an emergency, met him nt the depot, in company with a goodly number of his friends, who had heard of his intended arrival, and persuaded him to consent to deliver at least a short speech from the balcony of the Parker house, in the evening. Accordingly at half-past 7 a bonfire was built, the band played a few pieces, and the (Jovcrnor was introduced! to the largest crowd that has yet assem bled in our town during this cam niirn i! an eveuin'' mectiu.

DE LIB ERA TM FALSEHOOD. - i - . When John L. estervelt and other I radical bushwhackers, state to the people j that the expenses of Marshall county for j Ja.st year were thirty-five thousand dollars, I they state what they hmm to he a false- j hood. Tney know that the county ex-1 icnses were more than ten thousand dolJ.rslcss than the sura they nanio. Hence when they persist in the statement they ?deliberately lie, and lie for the purpose of lisleading the public. Fuithermore when they stato that the building fund is not amply secured, they j wilfully and deliberately lie, for they rnoH everv dollar of tho fund is imwmJ ' w rtth at least three dollars for every one )dcl! ir loaned. Wo ask the people of Marshall county

to watch and mark well these men who nm, nd there were none 'loil' present; jnre endeavoring to steul their votes by ! to make the best of it." This sound admanufacturing and retailing their base ; vice was not to be disregarded, and with jand slanderous lies. Men who descend to aa expression of intense disgust the old such conduct are unworthy the attention ! fe'low swallowed hhsMolf and returned of aov honest man, and ouht to be tro.itp.l home a sadder and a madder man. with a

He probably low thinks, privately, that the Marshall onnty building fund, and pler.ty oi demcratic friends, are not such very bad i things after all; for had it not been for the jreation of that fund, and the timely as sistance of those friends, the editor might. isvc been put to a little inconvenience tod the Dubiioation ox trie Ji oncan 1 m . 11- . t . 1 i I '

TRAGEDY AT KNOX. We learn that a tragedy was enacted in the orderly town of Knox, Starke county, on last Monday. As near as we could get the particulars, the circumstances were as follows: John W. Chapman, who wa a lieutenant in the nrniy, was poeeesfod of a violent too per, and had froqnentlj throat-1 eaodtokill his father, and other members I of tfee family. About a week ago b Was j threatening to kill his brother, .it his ! hob e I .short distance from Knox, and he became so violent in words and actions that it wai found necessary to bind him j . with a cord to prevent him from carrving! ont hia throats. To effect this, a young ! man, named Len. Collins, was called upou ;inu did assist in biuuing him. Chapman - -.--- v-m. ior ...e part he had taken against him. and deelarwd that he would shoot him the first time he ' met him after being released. They met on the street in Knox last Monday, when Chapman drew a pistol and fired at ColJ lins, but missed him! Collins fled, obtaiued a revolver, and returned to the street, and shot CI lapman through the head, killing him instantly. The affair created great excitement in t'.-'e town. Collins has not been arrested. ' Vr ni ti 7nnc rs J 1.. a A i 1. . " uwi,uS manic II nan not be put in prison. done. Of course the veteran bushwhackcr was ready; oud Payne accordingly spent a day in riding around among the faithful, apprising them of the feast he had prepared lor them. The day of enjoyment arrived, and the evening thereof followed the day, end the time was fully come for the bushwhacker's hayings to be made known to the assemblage. Six republicans including the speaker, Col. Sumner, who was willing to speak, and likewise the host, formedthe audience ; excepting a few democrats who ttood aloof and witnessed the proceeding. This being a pretty fair average crowd for Westervelt, he proceeded to make his speech, and continued it for three or four minute?, when one of the faithful whispered to him ''not to make a fool of himsell; that tho copperheads were laughing at few well digested lies in his stomach that had to remain there until he had bettor luck in procuring auditors; or until his managers would let him speak without au ditors. j POSSIBLE AXD IMPOSSIBLE. Capt. Johnson in his speech (he has bu. one) says, "Go with him to Shiloh," etc., and he will show a reason for sup- .. .. nortinff radicalism "Wo would say go with us to the laborer's humble home, and ce him partake of hlS fru-al mcal and look at his ftCanty - Xm aU 4 l i naiuiuuu. vu iiis muiu i.i.M.'i coffee and sugar; and on his back the tax collector's receipt, and we will show him a reason for not supporting radicalism. His trio is impracticable and purely pentimcntal, ours is easy and convenient. A 11 ORE. The "'rrepressiblo'' dutch doctor still bores the readers of thc Itcj ubtican with his brilliant essays. We sympathize with our ncighnors ; they have got an elephant ; or in other words a correspondent who uses more space io less purpose than most journalists can tolerate. But how to get rid of the old mau i the iug question. -

JUG II TAXES.

NUMBER TWO. 1 he 1 ext item in order, in the exhibit referred to last week, is an allowance of ?"99 to the library fund. As this allowance is probably not very well understood, we will make a few remarks by way of explanation. The law in reference to the j organization of new counties provides I that the commissioners appointed to locate j county scat,, may receive donations in money and lots, and that 10 j cr cent, of such donations shall be given toward the purchase of a county library. In the vear , 1840, all the donation fund remaining on .hand, which was about $5,000, was transferred to Levi C. Barber for building the court house. Of th is sum the library was entitled to .000, which allowance Was made by the commissioners. The library i r...f k v.: j. t vo, jjnu.ijiai hui uciug uuuueu. in the year 1SG7, the commissioners ordered the order, which amounted, at that time. to $0(50, of which the library trustees have drawn Sf99. roon bocsk. An addition has been built to the poor hon e, at a cost of 81,433 32, which was the lowest amount that any responsible man would do the job for. The inmates aP fTio mir Ii filled KjiAnmn t .

POOR KXPEXSE. There were allowed for the relief of the poor, 83,714 40, and to the families of an 1 1 1 lore whn linrn 1, I,n.n.n,l V... 1 . war, and brought to the greatest destitution, the sura of $073, making 94,68? 40. the amount which has been paid for both classes of poor. The law allows the commissioners to have the poor kept in the country when they can be kept cheaper there than at the poor house. Therefore the commissioners, through the township trustees, have provided for all such out side the poor house. The law alo requires that the families of soldiers shall bo comfortably provided for, and in no case shall any ol them be sent to the poor house The township trustees arc ex-officio over-1 leeri of the poor, but the law provides no means for the trustees to relieve the suffer

ings of the poor, or to bury one of them crowd, and a lot of hardened, wicked wowhen dead. The trustees had many times ! men at the windows of the jail nearby,

to furnish assistance themselves, or give orders on merchants and provision dealers, which would be taken if the trustee would be individually responsible. In view of the great increase of the duties of trustee in this department, consequent upon the war, the commissioners passed an order authorizing the trustees to carefully examine into all applications for temporary relief, and take the affidavit of the applicant if they saw proper, and in all cases where they were well .atislied that the applicant was entitled to assistance, such trustee was authorized to draw an order on the county auditor, who would draw an order on the county treasurer, who immediately cashed the same. We think the trustees have discharged their duties, in referenco to the poor and the families of soldiers, to tho satisfaction of all reasonable men, although in some instances they may have been imposed upon; yet in the main they have exercised a sound discre tion, and acted honestly between the poor and the county. We tako pleasure in saying, in this place, that tho three radical trustees we have are not au exception to these remarks; It is extremely doubtful if there is another "county iu the state, in which the poor aud the families of soldiers are as well cared for as in this "copperhead" county. Wc are quite sure that there is not a radical county in the north, whose exhibit of receipts and expenditures show as much to have been paid for the benefit of the poor and soldiors' families, as docs the Marshall county exhibit. We feel grateful for the privilege of living in a county which looks after the poor who arc unable to take care of themselves. We have frequently asked the wives or widous of soldiers, when U.y would bring their township orders to get an order on tho treasurer, if their husbands were living. They often would say that that their husbands had been killed, or died on some battlefield, and never was heard of afterwards, or had died since their return home, from disease contracted whilo in the service. We should like to hear some of those who are croaking about high taxes open their batteries on these two items of expense poor and soldiers' families. ranrfnra sxpsxaa, Fublic printing $1 (i5 less than onefourth the amount which Schuyler Colfax's organ in South Bend receives for the same service. noAl KXl'KNSK. $2 40 05. lload viewers are allowed $1 50 per day.

the auditor places them on the tax duplicate, and the treasurer collects them as other taxes. SCHOOL EXAMINER ALLOWANCE. The school examiner is allowed by law S3 for each day that he is actually employed in the discharge of his official duties. Ho presents his bill to the commissioners, makes oath that it is just, when it becomes the duty of the commissioners to make the allowance. teacher's institute. The law requires the school examiner to hold one institute each year, and if there is an average daily attendance of forty persons who wish to quality themselves for teaching, the examiner will certify the fact to the auditor, who will draw an order on the treasurer for 850 to defray the expenses of the institute. S V r L It 1 N T K X 1 K N T OF Ol'XTY TOOR FARM. The law requires the commissioners to exploy some suitable person to take charge of the farm, and of the county poor, under such regulations as they may agree upon. In the exhibit it is shown that the superintendent was allowed 6G89 80, but for the year ending September 1st, 1868, he gets only 8405. SHERIFF EXPENSE. The sheriff was allowed 8601 36. The law specifics what the sheriff shall receive for mileage, serving notices, posting notices, distributing poll books, notices to road viewers, to township trustees, &c, all of which he itemizes in a bill, to which he swears, and lays the samo before the commissioners for allowance. There arc several small items in the exhibit which we have not noticed, such as

insurance, specific, wood, wolf scalps, reg isters, elections. allowances which will not be objected to by any person of sound mind. Errata.

For months past Chicago has had to endure a constant annoyance in the shape of professedly religious public meetings in the court house square. These assemblagcs were always well attended, especially on Snndajg, but the great mass of auditors were of the lowest class of street loafers and vagabonds, and a more wretched burlesque upon religious services could scarcely be imagined. Incomprehensib! spirif ualists, plasphcmous iufidels, week headed Christians, a jeering, ignorant blend their voices in these meetings, and together pour forth a torreut of blasphemy, argument, obscenity and piety, in a manlier well calculated to shock the sensibilities oT every decent thinking man who comes near or has the misfortune to live ia the vicinity. I am glad to sec that at length the daily papers have become cognizant of the existence of this nuisance and call upon the police to abate it. When this is done, however, there will, of course, be a howl from all sides about the freedom of speech. Not long since Chicago had a sensation in the shape of a kidnapping case. The victim being a remarkably good little boy. His story was rather too high-colored, but still fouud many believers. Now all the romance is knocked out of it by the arrest -ft-- I Kill.

The police have relinquished their search for those mythical kidnappers, and the sensatiou is no longer a success. Two severe breaks occurred last week iu the Washington street tuuncl excavations, letting in the river, and wrecking all the machinery wilhin reach. Damage fifteen thousand dollars. The process of repairing is actively commenced A new theatre of the " variety 99 class is to be started in Ieceniber,and the erection of a building for it has already begun. It will be located on Dearborn street, next to where the old ' varieties " used to stand. Jo. Jeffe rson is creating another furore here with his magnificent impersonation of " Itip Van Winkle," drawing large audiences constantly and swaying them to smiles and tears alternately as no other actor now upon the American stage can do. Next week we shall have the French opera bouffo at Crosby's. The woman's home is to be eularged so as to shelter 300 girls instead of 00 as at prose ut. The public schools of Chicago resume regular sessions to-day. They arc in all twenty-eight iu number, aud of 18,JJ1 scholars. The weather is remarkably fine. Tho fall trado is quite good. Don. A gang of robbers who havo been infesting Pittsburg, were captured by the police the other night, and during the meleo one of them was dange rously thot. Four ex-governors of Miunesota walked abreast down Third street, St. Taul, the other day, namely : Sibley, Gorman Uamscy and Miller. A son of Charles C. Stewart, of Irvington, New Jersey, recently plowed up a Spanish pistareeu of the reign of Philip V, on tho farm of Edwin Day. The coin bears the date of 1721. Several pieces of a similar character have been found on the same farm. It is supposed they were buried during the revolutionary

war.

The issue came up yesterday in the Tower house, and is under debate now, and as the spoaker has decided that the no-roe s . A m cannoi vote m their own cases, and as there are 27 of them they will 11 go at -ill ivc the demTcmts one BOOT, lhat will give the dem jcrats the majority. The rads are losing groundj e the shape ' daily. Illings last assume the shape of " whites against blacks," and the few whites that are trying to make nigger equality respectable, will not como out with them in the daylight. On the 18th inst. the rads held their Grant ft Colfax state convention to nomi nate electors. After blowing long and loud through papers and Dosters for a month previous, they did not havo 500 strangers in all in the city. Ninety-nine out of every hundred were negroes dirty cornfield hand's. In the procession of from 600 to 1,000 there were only eight white men. I only wish all the north could have seen it. In the evening the niggers made a raid on the police and two or three got killed. I would like to give you a detailed account of this " loil n party down here, but have not time now. You say the rads expect to carry the southern states? They will not get three states south of the Ohio. They may carry ' lcnnc.see, Louisiana, and South Carolina, but I think not. To a great extent the blacks will vote the democratic ticket, . Georgia will give 25,000 to 50,000 demo - cratic majority. Alabama in proportion rr., , . . i , , lüe democrats are working hard and or - ganizing to a man. They will know every voter, his cclor, and where registered. If the northern democrats, with every advantage, do half as well as the oppressed souther people with voting, radicalism will be buried ont of sight."
