The Inter-Ocean says Vanderbilt is worth 4000 times his weight in gold. We wouldn’t buy the insufferable old bloat if wo could get him for 40 pounds of. sour beans.

But still, if 'you have no objections, we should just like to know, you know, whether their aforesaid “active part” has resulted in anything Worth mentioning.? .. A paragraph winch went the rounds of the city papers, and a rather hasty examination of the, somewhat ambiguous, instructions of the post-office department, led Post-master James to conclude that postage due stamps of the ohl denomination of three cents, would have to be used on underpaid mail matter, of the first class._ but, upon fuller examination, lie finds that the spirit, if not the letter, of the law authorizes the use of the two cent postage due stumps. aarrnja —.y ysrsn The Inter-Ocean again distinguished itself, with news about the Atkinson, murder, last week. On Wednesday the real newspapers of Chicago gave the information that Potts had been examined, at Lafayette, and that an affidavit had been tiled against him. The Inter-Ocean said nothing about the case that day; but, on Thursday, it gave the astonishing .sintement thatdPotts had been indicted' at LaFayette, and would-be taken .to Benton county for trial. From these items of the Inter-Ocean’s ! the people of Indiana can learn, for first time, that people can be indicted for crimes without ,tbe aid of a grand jury, and in counties other than- where the crime was commit ted. Newspapers, like 1 the kings winch j the great knocker put of his day, “renowned Douglas,” was slaying, right and left, at the battle of Shrewsbury, grow like hydra’s heads, and for every one that is'] knocked out of time, there spring up two new ones in its place. The latest established journal, of our .vicinity, is the Valparaiso lie publican. It is a six-column quarto, well printed- and republican in politics. It starts out for a good .paper, as, indeed, it muse be, if it' makes much headway in Valparaiso I which was already blessed with! several of the best country papers that we know of. The publishers are Messrs. Putnam k Dovland. They are unknown to us, and, perhaps, to fame, but we will reverse Alharles Lamb’a formula, and bless

AN INGENIOUS THEORY

To AccOimt for tUc Oxford Butchery. No certain light has yet pierced the thick darkness in which the cruel murder of Ada Atkinsou is shrouded. Below we give the theory of detective Tenßroe%k, in regard to the crime, as giveu in the Indianapolis Journal, of Tuesdays. Ten Broeck’s theory is that Alexander Potts, who had recently been discharged from the Michigan City penetontiary, and William Boyer, a man of unsavory reputation, living in the vicinity of Oxford, met at Oxford and determined to reconnoiter for the purpose of looking up a suitable place from which to steal hogs on that or some other night; that they did not wish to be seen together; that Boyer went southward to Theodore Cuppy’s house, while Potts sneaked into the woods on the west side ot the main road and came out on the road near the Atkinson place; that they intended to look over Atkinson’s hog-yard, but saw Jacob Nelling working there and did not dare go down there; that the house seemecF unoccupied, and they remembered the neighborhood stories Of large sums of money that Atkinson was supposed to keep in the house; that Boyer, who was well know to all the Atkinson family, should remain outside and watch while Potts, who had been away to the penitentiary a long time andliad so changed that he would not likely be recognized if ho should encounter anybody, should go through the house; that Potts entered by the side door, and, knowing that money is usually kept in sleepingrooms, went at once up-stairs; that as he looked in at Ada’s door she was standing with hei back to the door, making her toilet before her mirror; that she saw Potts in the mirror and. turned toward him; that he sprang toward her and struck her on the side of the head with a set of brass knuckles; that she screamed and he clutched the handkerchief about her neck and silenced her voice; that he asked, “Where’s your father’s money?” and she could not tell; that he whipped out.bis knife, and said, “Where's the money?” and still she grasped through the tightene(,l kerchief, “I don’t know.” “Yes you do; where is it?" “No, I don’t know, That she struggled to got away, and he threw her against the bed and then to the Hour. „ ‘‘Come you, where's the money ?" “Oh, sir, I don’t know.” That he throw up her clothes to torture her, but, though she struggled, she could not tell whore the money was; that he pricked her with the knife to make her tell, and still she could not, that ho prinked her deeper ani devour, and HurdTy, i:i Ills' rage, plunged the blade into the hilt; thatmiYthe ecstasy of pain and fright she threw herself over on her back and received the fatal abdominal wound; that she now fell bn. k speechless, and the-villain' saw that he had committed'the greatest of crimes; that the desire for- money now gave way to a desire for his own safety, and lie cut her throat to make sure she should not rise against him: that there was now no time to stop to look for plunder—.escape, and escape only , was on his mind.; that ho. hurried down the stairs and out at the back door, where Tie beckoned—to his eompniiiorr,. whir came to him, and together they hurried around back.-of the house, climbed over the south fence and ran through -ti'-e greye, the patch of tall weeds; dry run, and, sneaked along-inside the hedge where they could not he seen 1 from the road —bloody-hearted murderers skulking beyond the reach of any human eye. —xirmufi.'jwaarfiftaw

THE WAR IS ENDED

* Au«l the Monon Route neam the Scalps. ,' • i The railroad war came tp an end, by agreement between the parties, last Thursday night at mid-night. The Monon Ponte gains all that it asked sor 1 and loses nothing by the contest. The greatest point gained is the right to use the Union depot, and tracks in Indianapolis, on the same terms as other lines. The war will also be an excellent advertisement for the Air Line, from Chicago to Indianapolis and Cincinnati, making it almost as well known to the traveling public as the oldest established routes. During the continuance of the dollar rate, between the two cities, the Air Line carried 1,994 passengers from Indianapolis to Chicago.- With the shortest line between Chicago, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, depot facilities and car accommodations of the very best, the new line is bound to do a big bnsiness.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

There is an absolute dearth of news over this way, which is a good thing foi* the community, but not so pleasant for newspaper par&graphers. The weather is bright and pleasant and farmers are getting their fall work well under way while it lasts. Groat quantities of sorghum are being hauled to the mill, where it is speodily turned into rich, thick syrup. If some genius could only succeed in finding a way to granulate it, he would be doing the Northern States grand service. Some improvements are going on; Mr. Ford has built an addition to his dwelling. Miss Bolles has had her house raised about eighteen inches, and Mr. Roberts is haying his dwelling house, barn and grain house moved to a more desirable locality on the farm. Health is generally good over here. Little Bailie Turpin, the bright little daughter of T. J. ■ Turpin, living near town, is seriously siek. Schools are progressing finely. The majority of the township schools opened on Monday.—[Remington!an.

A protracted row between neighbors, in the vicinity of the depot, resulted in the trial, yesterday afternoon, of Geo. McCarthy for assault and batteiy upon Mrs. Mary Thompson. Watson prosecuting, Douthit defending. McCarthy was lined two dollars and costs. The lightness of the penalty showing either that the offense was not very aggravated or that there were two sides to the rumpus. These neighborhood quarrels are miserable institutions, and we advise the parties engaged in this one to “cheese the racket.”
