TERRE-HAUTE. IND. TUESDAY, AITGUST 21, 1855.

THE LIQUOR LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL. We give below the street talk at Indianapolis, concerning the rumor that the Supreme Court had determined to give their decision against the Law, which we take from the Republican.

The Jonrnal seems to think this move rather a strong affair, as Judge Perkins, made free in telling every one interested, that a decision would not be had until the regular fall term convened. This sudden calling together of the Bench is thought to be designed to have some influence upon the

tweenthe Judges, at the close of their'four

last session, that there was to be a called session, for this or any other purpose,

LATER.—We hear that the meeting of the Supreme Court, above alluded to, proved to be a failure. Judge Perkins couldn't get them all together, so he had to adjourn Aw court without getting his platform adopted. Too bad.

XTJBDEB AT KANKAKEE ILLS.

A Ifefro killed—Six Men Arrested— Great Excitement* ,t.„,

We are indebted to M. Chamberlain, Messenger, of the American Express Company, for the following:

On Monday the 13th inst, a Negro man living near Kankakee City, Ills., went in company with several white men into town, and whilst there received a considerable sum of money. Before night all the party became more or less intoxicated, and started home together. Next morning the Negro's team was found in the stable all right, but himself nowhere to be found. Early in the day two of the men who had accompanied the negro, made their appearance at his house, representing to his wife, that they had bought all the stock belonging to the premises, from the Negro, on the day previous, and that he had left the country. This aroused suspicion on the part of the wife, who consulted with some of the neighbors, whereupon the two men were arrested and taken to the city, and detained under one pretence or another until Saturday, when some persons discovered the body of the Negro in a pond. The murderers had tied a bag of blue clay to the body, and failing to adjust it properly, the head of the corpse remained above the water,

of it. The Republican of the 18th says: 1

The Supreme Court.

We understand that Judge Perkins has notified the members of the Supreme Bench to meet here on next Monday, for the purpose of deciding the Bebee liquor case. This is a strange and unheard of proceedure. The Court having adjourned sine die, there was no intimation that it would be called together until the time of its regular setting in November next, until this morning. Hence, the Attorney's in support of the law are not prepared for this premature—this hasty and extraordinary procedure, their briefs being yet in the hands of the printers. We forbear making any remarks and shall await the decision with deepest solicitude. We trust the law may be sustained. To quench the light of peace and joy that is now pouring in upon once dark and dreary homes—to unseal the embittered, poisoned fountain, and let its burning waves desolate our hearthstones, ana cover our land with shame, sorrow and death, is a work of fearful responsibility. We trust the God of the fatherless and the wido w—of order and purity, will save us from so great a calamity.

following encouragement to one of its would be—correspondents-—or contributors. We have a few who might profitably follow the advice.

without a shadow of foundation in fact.

This base coin we believe was first uttered by the great a«s-assinated of the "News Letter," who has been of late trying to render himself ridiculous, by giving out that some body thought him of enough consequence to provoke assassination.

We wonder if the ex-prosecutor don't imagine himself Louis Napoleon, shouldn't wonder.

J£3T The Journal and Stntinel at Indianapolis, have been at "loger-heads" for some time, and their difficulties appear to be rather increasing than diminishing. We are son-y to see this, as both papers used to be well filled with news, but are now "crammed brim full" of bitterness towards each other. This warfare has been going on so long and so regular without much force, that we feel a little inclined to sum up the pith of their jars in the following manner

The Journal and Sentinel in running opposite ways round a corner, accidentally (©11 purpose) came in collision. "Oh dear," said the Journal, "how you made my head ring." "That's a sign it's hollow," said the Sentinel. "Didn't yours ring said the Journal. "No!" "That'8 a sign it's cracked

Gentleman, be easy, we don't charge any tiling for applying this scrap.

NOTICE.—A cotemporary local, hard up for items, offers the following rewards: "To any subscriber who will break his leg for our especial benefit, $1 to the widow of any person who will cut his throat for the purpose of furnishing us with an "item," 95 for afire consuming one dwelling house, 25c—larger conflagrations paid for at proportionate rates to the mother who will commit a horrible infanticide, $5 and for a brutal mUrder, 810."—Ex.

The Indianapolis Republican offers the following additial rewards for local items namely: ,/*, r:-»

To any young lady who will elope with some nice young man, one dime to any lady who will cowhide some gay lothario, one half dime to any fool who will eat cucumbers, boiled corn, and green apples till he dies with the cholera, fifteen cents.

Well, here goes for a few more rewards down this way, just to make things uniform all over the State—for you know our laws are not law, unless they bear that military phrase, u-n-i-fo-r-m otherwise it ain't constitutional:

We will give one pound of the composition of an old roller to any man that will kill one of the old line demagogues in this section to any lady that will get married and whale her man out of his boots the next day, a pair of old stockings to any woman who will scold a man to death, though it takes fifteen years to do so, a pair of geese to any man who will kill himself by drinking Vigo county liquor, a hole in the ground to any man, woman or child who will catch and rob, beat, maim, or otherwise disable or disfigure any editor in these parts, who may be found carrying a good ten dollar bill in his pocket that he can call his oVvn, we will give six old newspapers. ••,

VICTORY IN TENNESSEE!! We have received sufficient returns from the late election to show that the Americans have elected a majority of the Legislature, six out of ten Congressmen, and cut down the majority of Johnson for Governor over a thousand votes! A glorious victory for an organization which has been in existence only four or five months. All honor to the Americans of Tennessee!

In our sister city, Louisville, it has attained great celebrity, and here it is in equal favor. It is perfectly free from all dangerous and Injurious ingredients is made under the special superintendence of an able chemist, and composed of such pure medical compounds as cannot fail to make it. in all cases, sure and powerful.
