The Fort Wayne & Pacific Bailroad.

Mr. Dwiggiiis, President of the Fort \\ ayne and Pacific Kailroad | Company, returned from New York City last Saturday. As was stated in bis letter front Mansfield, Oitio, which we published last week, the Ventral .Construction Company have eflbeted a satisfactory contract for building the Ohio division of tJiis grand trunk failway through the heart of the United States.This Construction Company, of which Mr. Abbott. of Rock Island, 111, is the .President, have now the contract for building a lincof railroad from a point on the Missouri river to New London, Ohio—an uninterrupted distamMppf 850 miles— Crossing the three *Slates of lowa, Illinois, Indiana, and nearly twothirds aerost the fourth State of Ohio. We understand the local companies of these four States are to meet at Cedar Rapids, lowa, on the 7th of June, for the purpose of consolidation, after which it is expected to commence work immediately on the Ohio and Indiana divisions. Mr. Dwiggins found Messrs. Henry Weston and John C. Van Rensselaer, formerly citizens ol this place, ami who still have large property interests here, very friendly to the enterprise. From Mr. Weston he succeeded in procuring the right of way through his property here, a donationof twenty acres of land for depot buildings, and a subscription of §15,000. Mr. Van Rensselaer subscribed §3,000. Jasper county .-lands foreinoston the list in this State in this enterterprise. Iler citizens have voted a public tax of §49,300; nearly $15,000 have been raised by subscription- from residents aiid §IB,OOO more from non-residents who own property here, making in the aggregate not far from §83,000. This is independent of the capital stock of §20,000 taken by Messrs. Dwiggins, Stackhouse, Boroughs and Benjamin. It is expected that wc will be required to do still more and swell the amount to at least §l2(f,000. This will be nearly §60,000 more than it will cost to grade, tie ami bridge the road through the county, but is necessary to make up deficiencies in counties where uo public tax can be secured.

Republican Mass Convention.

At the mass convention next Saturday, there are to be eight delegates appointed to attend each of the following conventions: At Kentland, Newton county, June 7th, to nominate a candidate for Judge and a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, for the 12th judicial circuit; At Wanatafi, Porter county, June 29th, to nominate a candidate for lieresentative in congress from the eleventh district, and a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney for the "16th Common Pleas district; At Reynolds, July Ist, to nominate a candidate for Representative in the General Assembly for the counties of Pulaski, Jasper and Newton, and a candidate for State Senator from the counties of Pulaski, White, Benton, Newton and J asp er. A full attentance from all parts tff the county js desired, and each township should be fully represented. * • At 1 o’clock in the afternoon the delegate convention will meet in the Court HouseJor the purpose of nominating a county ticket.

The Valparaiso Vidette has concluded to ‘-support the nominee” in the event that General Packard is defeated. We are glad Brother •Gurney is so sensible, and we are pleased to see this feeling manifesting itself throughout the district It is a merited rebuke- to General Packard’s arrogant threat that he would defeat the ticket in case he failed to be renominated for congress, and it is also a tacit acknowledgement that this popinjay’s prospects are becoming weaker day by day- , • ’ !

Marion Township Convention.

Pursuant to republicans of Marion township met in mass convention at the Court House, Saturday, May 28th, 1870, at one o’clock P. M. On motion of Col. E. I’. Ilarnmond, Dr. Jrtmcs Ritchey was elected chairman* The chairman stated the object of the meeting to be the selection of delegates to the county convention to be held on the 4th of June lor the purpose of nominating a county ticket On motion of E. T. Harding, Esq., Horace E. James was elected secretary, E. T. Harding stated that Marion township was entitled to eighteen delegates in the comity convention and moved that one delegate be apI pointed from each of the five wards in the town of "Rensselaer and the i remaining thirteen be fj;otn the 1 country. E. L. Clark explained that frpon the basis of apportionment adopted by the central committee, the town of Rensselaer was entitled to six delegates in the convention, but that a number thought it best to adopt the proposition contained in Mr. Harding’s motion. I The motion was put and adopted. Proceeded to the selection of delegates with the following result: From the town of Rensselaer: Ist Ward—E. P. Hammond.— 2nd Ward—Dr. G. A. Sloss. 3rd Ward—C. R. Hough. 4th Ward—bimon Phillips. 6th Ward—Alfred M'Coy. - _ From the country: Beth Cox, J. M. Wasson, Dan’l Daugherty, Dr. James Ritchey, S. C. Hammond, M. 11.

Carpenter Township Convention.

Pursuant to notice the republicans of Carpenter township met in mass convention in Remington, on Saturday, May 28th, 1870. On motion Dr. S. C. Maxwell was called to the chair and E. E. Lockwood appointed Secretary. Proceeded to the selection oi delegates and alternates to represent the township in the county nominating convention, resulting as follows: J. A. Cowell, Chas. Price, C. F. Fisher, Win. Haver, Geo. Thompson, G. B. Chappell and D. 11. Patton, delegates, and G. W. Hascall, E. E. Lockwood and James F. Irwin, alternates. Among other resolutions the following was passed: Resolved, That the delegates from this township be instructed to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of persons residing in this township to fill the county offices, and where there is but one candidate from this township that said delegates stick to him as long as there is a shadow' of a chance for his nomination. L.

Judicial Convention.

Tippecanoe county held a primary election April 4th, 1870. No other county the 12th circuit has held such election. In the judicial convention there should be a fair ex. pression of the people’s choice for Judge and Prosecutor. I would suggest that at our mass convention a ballot be had of those present to determine their wishes in this behalf. There will be a large attendance from all parts of the county, and the unbiased wish of the republicans present will be a fair index to the choice of candidates for Jasper county. Then let the-judi-cial delegates on their first ballot cast the vote of the county in exact accordance with the express wish of those voting. X.

* * * “We think the‘load’to be carried by the republican party of this district, consists just at present of the three ‘shriekers'— the Herald, Union and Spy”—Plymouth Republican. Perhaps the Republican would like to read us out of the party. — Let the young squirt begin the exercises. ~ ' The drought is becoming serious throughout the southern part of Indiana. From Indianapolis down to the Ohio we are told there has not been rain enough to make a respectable shower since the snow melted. Dr. S. N. Caldwell, of Newton county, is, we understand, a candidate for the republican nomination as representative in the State legist lature.

Letter from Mr. R. B. James.

The following extracts are mndo from a private letter dated May 21st; ' “We have travelled from Kickapoo creek, near Peoria, this week, a distance of about 150 miles and are now some eight miles cast of Quincy, 111. “We did not overtake a mover, or a mover ns, until to-day, when wc crossed thoogreat thoroughfare from the north. Since that wc have overtaken several teams. We saw one man from Lake county, 111., forty miles from Clijcago, with twenty head or more of stock cattle, several head of swine, several wagons, a covered buggy and Fome tons of ‘plunder.’ “We hear daily of travel ahead. We also meet people returning.— Some with rueful faces from the land of droughts and stormy winds, where growing corn is blowcd out by the roots every other day unless a man and two boys stay and watch it over night; others wifli cheeks all in wrinkles going for the wee ones left behind them, to take them to the Paradise of Kansas whete Nature has provided prairies and timber in proper proportions; separated stone at agreeable distances in quarries; and watered every claim with soft and living spring water. There, to them, cultivated crops are lovely, natural productions are abundant, and kind and benignant heaven smiles upon a land without flies, gnats, musketoes or grasshoppers. “But what is to come of this mighty hegifa from the north—of this vast mass of intelligence, piety and energy? It is an annual army of more than 200,000 fighting men, carrying with them their valor, their property, tlieir wives and their children. A great future awaits our country! The development of this teeming wealth that has been buried for ages must revolutionize, by its oiftreaching grasp and reflex force, the institutions of the world. “We have passed through some of the riah counties of this State. Of course we have seen only a slender thread of country, but, with what we have before seen, can form a faint outline of her wealth and power. There is far more cultivated land in this State than I had expected. It looks next to impossible that the vast amount of crops now growing should ever “be harvested.” —-■-

The Fenian Burlesque.

If were no painful features, what a ludicrous record is this morning presented of the Fenian foray. Raw troops, men without arms or commissairat hurrying forward to “the front,” and probably twice as many, who have been at that interesting spot for twenty-four hours, hurrying back, beggars at the hands of the Government whose laws they have violated, for transportation home. The so-called “battle of Trout River”—three hundred men facing a regiment of drilled and well-armed troops, one killed, two wounded and two taken prisoners—this is the whole of the history of the one bloody engagement of the Fenian Army of Liberation. The responsibility of the men who have deliberately planned and led this hopeless raid is fearful to contemplate. Demoralizing society, dragging hundreds and thousands of men away from home on a wild goose chase, without one dollar of funds or one pound of food; violating decency and law; imperilling the Government they have sworn to protect and defend; a half dozen murdered men to answer for, a number wounded, and still more prisoners in the hands of the English government, to be dealt with as it pleases, placed beyond the hope of interference on the part of the American authorities. The President, in his proclamation, is constrained by his duty as an executive of law, to “warn all persons that by committing such illegal acts they will forfeit all right to the protection of this Government, or to its interference’in their behalf to rescue them from the consequences of their own acts.” How will the Fenian leaders answer to the poor people whose confidence they have abused, whose hardearned money they have squandered, whom they have beguiled to death or outlawry? When will the honest and laboring Irishmen of America appreciate the fact that Fenianism is a gigantic scheme of humbuggery, set on foot by designing men for their own personal profit?— lndianapolis Journal.

Swindling ligtning-rod men are reported in different parts of the State. They don’t give the required length of rod for safety. We wonder if we shall not soon hear of undertakers swindling the people in the measurement of coflins?—lndianapolis Journal.

Miss Nellie Badger, a young lady of eighteen years, residing in Marshall county, Indiana, walked twenty-five miles in six hours and ten minutes last Saturday. A young man who started to "make the trip with her gave out on the fifteenth mile. <

Hon. Anson Wolcott.

* * “The republican voters of this county, with perhaps a very few exceptions, are very decidedly in favor of the re-nomination of Gen. Packard, and will work for that end as long as there is the least prpspect of its. accomplishment.— If they become convinced that Packard cannot get the nomination, then wc believe their next choice will be Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White county. Perhaps the vote would be divided between Wolcott pud Cathcart first, but finally, wc think, it would be given a unit for Wolcott.”— Crown Point Register. • “Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White comity, was in town yesterday, and honored us with a call. Mr. W 7 is one of the most able statesmen in Indiana, ami his services in the interest of the State have been many and valuable. He has canvassed the district faithfully, is strong in the southern portion of the district, and will probably carry the entire strength of his senatorial district.” —Michigan City Enterprise. “We had a pleasant call from Anson Wolcott, and are sorry to say we cannot support him for congress. He is a companionable man and knows how to use his friends well.”— Valparaiso Vidette.

Dr. Maxwell, of Newton county, is announced as a candidate for representative in the legislature, subject to the decision of the, republican convention. Gen. Canby is in Indianapolis this week. r. Hon. Anson Wolcott is not a Roman Catholic. Apple and pear trees arc re-bfos-soniing at Warsaw. Strawberries are in season throughout the State. Francesville has “the finest and largest school building” in Pulaski county. The Fort Wayne Journal reports the wheat crop looking well in that section.

Peter Kline, of Newton county, bad three horses killed by lightning week ago Monday. A naughty goat chases women inside of fences at Kentland, while on their way to church. , The Winamac Democrat says “men are-now on the lookout for girls with green backs.” In Pulaski comity, butter is flavored with bed bugs. What queer tastes some people have. An infirmary under the charge of the Sisters of Charity is to be established at Terre Haute. The thermometer has reached 104° in the shade at Crown Point, this season, so the Register says. The Bedford News says tliaUabullfrog, weighing six pounds, was caught near that place, last week. Mr. Peacock, of Kentland, had a leg broken in two places, by the upsetting of a wagon, last Saturday week. The Laporte Argus has been attempting to read Hon. Chas. 11. Reeves, of Plymouth, out of the democratic fold. The Lafayette Courier says “the farmers on Wea report that harvest will come at least two weeks earlier than common.” C. C. Budd’s jewelry store at Winamac was burglared week ago Sunday night and two hundred dollars’ worth of goods stolen. Judge S. E. Perkins is out in a card in the Indianapolis Journal indicating that he will support the republican State ticket this season. It is thought that the contest for congressional nomination on the democratic ticket in this district will be between Hon. M. K. Farrand, of Laporte, and Hon. David Turpie, of Monticello, with the chances largely in favor of Farrand. The Michigan City Enterprise of May 27th says: “Sixteen vessels, bringing one million and thirty thousand feet of lumber, one million, four hundred and thirty-three thousand shingles and nearly a million lath, have arrived here within a week. Eight vessels were in port yesterday.”
