Remington Letter.

Remington, April 18, 1870.

Eds. Union: Dear Sirs:— A warrant was issued by Esquire Jeffries, on Saturday, for the arrest of a young lady living west of this place who was charged with offending the peace and dignity of the State of Indiana, by unlawfully and feloniously appropriating to her use the property of another. The trial being called in the evening, it was found that the sovereign and outraged State and the prosecuting witness had skedaddled oft' together—gone “where the - woodbine twineth” —at least they failed to put in an appcarcnce. Cause supposed to be a compromise. The election passed oil quietly, resulting as follows: For the Appropriation, 2; against the appropriation, 162. A great many did not come out although we fired off anvils (in the absence of cannon) to remind the citizens that it. was election day, and that Mrs. Colfax has a baby. Velocipede.

The election in Newton county last Saturday, upon tho appropriation'of $21,000 to aid the Ft. Wayne & Pacific railroad resulted in the defeat of the proposition by about 150 majority.
