SENATOR FISSENDEN died at his home in Portland, Maine, yesterday morning at six and a half o'clock. The decease of such a man is an event of national moment. Hardly a single Republican Senator has been more conspicuous than he—for vigor in debate, dignity of character, and industry in the public service. His personal likes and' dislikes have sometimes led him into error but it is worthy of note that during the impeachment trial men did not ascribe his actions to corrupt motives, but rather to what may be called a legal onesidedness of character. Ha' has been a powerful advocate of the present tarriff system, and his influence in the Senate has hadly been surpassed by an

THE Iowa Conference has gone in favor of lay delegation by the following vote: For, 3,706 votes against, 1,926 votes, Raking a majority of 9,780.

i-HE Vicksburg Republican states that there were but three Kopublican newspapers issued in Mississippi one year since whereas there are now sixteen,and eeveral more will soon be started.

THE Memphis Post very reasonalby, lacks faith in the prophecy of'the SEN-TEB-BROWNLOW renegade Republicans that the Fifteenth Amendment will be ratified by the Tennessee Legislature.

CINCINNATIANS are remonstrating against the passage of a resolution now pending before the School Board of that city, the object of which is to exclude the Bible from the public schools.

T#B Cincinnati Times makes tbo discovery that there is, after all, but the difference of one letter between President GRANT and ANDY JOHNSON. ULYSSES is na inveterate smoker, and A. J. is an inveterate soaker.

TPE NOMINATION, by the Republicans of Minnesota of Judge AUSTIN,forGovernor^ is pronounced the very stongest selection that could have been made, and it is predicted tbat under the Judge's leadership the Republicans will sweep the State al. most without resistance.

•THE Union (Mo.) Appeal, in rcsponeo to the objection of a cotemporary to illiterate negroes voting, says it is hardly fair to require the Radical negro to make himself a walking encyclopedia, while the Democrat is only expected to know whisky from water—and carefully avoid the water.

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY in Vermont was a foregone conclusion, and we are not, therefore, inclinod to jubilate much over the fact that our friends have swept tho State by a mojority of from ninetoon to twenty thousand. The Democrats have not a single member of tho Senato and but four members of the House.

AK ADDRESS has been issued by the National Executive Committeo of the colored laborers and mechanics, which calls tor a convention to be held in Washington on the first Monday in December, 1869. In order to make co-operation with the laboring classes, without regard to color, complete, and to meet the spirit which animated the National Labor Convention recently held in Philadelphia the call is general, and no otio will be excluded who bears the credentials of honesty and industry.

THE New York Democrat makes a diegraceful attack on Bisbop SLMPSONI asserting that be canvassed Virginia for WELLS, and calling him "a Methodist bloodhound of Zion, who cares more for the nigger than for Christ." The Evansville Courier follows up the cue thus given, and declares tbat Bishop SIMPSON jave GRANT a Bible because tho Bishop sad no further use for such a book. Democratic hatred of Methodist divines is exceedingly intense, but pot altogether unrn'.ural.

THE Cincinnati Chronicle perceives soma evidenoes of an attempt among the Democracy©f Tennessee to muster virtue enough to put through the Fifteenth Amendment, as proposed during tho canvass. It is argued, correctly enough, that this amendment makes matters no worse in Tennessee, or other States of tho South, but only puts Northern States on an equality with them as to tbe principle of negro suffrage. A desire merely to oblige Northern Democrats by refusing to ratify does not seem to have a plac« in their hearts. Now-a-days, they do not think iheir former allies amount to much.

THE Chicngo Republican mentions, as somewhat strange, tho fact that of tbe seven Ropublican Senators who voted againt tbe impeaebmr-nt 'of ANDREW JOHNSON, but two remain unscathed by tbe hand of death, or by political, or other misfortune. These two are—Judge TRUMBULL,|of Illinois, and Senator Ross, of Kansas. HENDERSON, of Missouri, and VAN WINKLE, of West Virgi nin, have beon superseded. FOWLER, ot Tennessee, will have to give pl&oe to ANDY himself, some other man. FESSKNDEN, of Maine, hss just died. GRIMES, of Iowa, is an invalid and has resigned. As the great poet says, "So runs the world away.'

ACCORDING to a list which we published tfewdays ago, nineteen States have ratified tbe proposed F'fteeolh Article in amendment of the Constitution. Twentyeight Slates, three-fourths of the whole number, are required to complete the work. Three of these will be found in tbe unreconstructed States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, which will ratify the amendment when they resume their proper relations with tbe Union. The six other States required will be had from the following list of those which have not acted on tbe amendment: Alabama, Cali^rnia, Delaware, Georgia) Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, •Rhode Island, Tennesseo and Vermont.— The six which we "have italicized are all pretty certain to ratify, settling the question, independently of Ohio, which we expect to add to the list.

....oi.^HPl^PTE. INDIANA, SEPTEMBER 15,1869

AFTER the first of January, 1870, Rev. HENRY ^VARD BEJCCHER will assume editorial control of the Church Union, an independentreligiouspaperin New York, designed to unite all Protestants on the common platform of the Bible, without respect to human creeds. In this connection a cotemporary remarks "It is popularly supposed tbat all things are possible to a BEKCHER, and we are not sure but the BEECEERS Bhar9 this opinion but it will take more than the combined talent of the entire family to bring about the result contemplated."

THERE is every reason to believe that the City Council will volo the proposed railroad appropriations on conditions satisfactory to all interested parties. The imperative necessity for the construction of both the Bloomfieid and Danville roads is almost uaiversaily conceded. With these reads in operation, added to our present railroad facilities, and Vilh our manufacturing establishments steadily increasing by healthy growth and development, wo may eaiely anticipate a prosper, ous future for our city.

THE Philadelphia <Press>, endorses a very important movement that has been inaugurated in Western Virginia, by the Wheeling <Intelligencer>, against any further proscription and disfranchisement of the former rebels. The latter paper states that whatever party gains or holds ascendancy in West Virginia three or four years hence will do so because it stands on a platform that banishes all

TDKRK seems to be a disposition on tho part of a large proportion of the press of tho country—including many Republi" can journal*, to grumble at the President's absence from the Capital. The sharp pens of Washington correspondents, in the absense of more inviting matter, have been probing this subject until one would suppose their owners would be glad to desist from sheer exhaustion. Not however. Tuo changes aro rung every morning, and the charge is renewed every evening, apparently with infinite satisfaction,

Occ.isionally a correspondent, with some lingering sense of decoricy, some perception of truth and propriety, takes tho opposite tack, and does justice to tbe motives and acts of the Chief Magistrate. We have before us a letter to Cincinnati daily, in which it is suggested tbat if iho grun-blers throughout tho country knew how the President is hounded, while in Washington, for purposes purely personal to those who besiege him, and lor no public good whatever, his absenco would be regarded as a public blessing, even if continued for wsabs to come.

Nothing of public interest suffers everything moves along in harmony, and prosperously, because order bas been fully inaugurated in tbe wholo Government, and it is run for the public not private inr terest, and run by law, and not by tbe whim or caprice of any man or set of men who assume to set themselves above tho law. It may be said in rbply, "If good to be absent a month, wbv not better to be constantly absent?" Because, there are times when affairs press upon the President's attention, and although even then he will be besot with bangers on, be must endure it as best bo can. and still dispatch the legitimate public business. He is at tbo capital every week, alls his Cabinet together, and disposes of everything demanding attention, and the best evidence that he permits no public interest to suffor is found in Jtbe fact tbat everything moves along prosperously— never more so. The President has an iron constitution, and is capable of great enduraoce but, stout as be is, he can not endure everything: and past experience in his bigh office has sbown that it oan break down the stoutest man. Let us not murder our President spare him if possible. The country has much use for him yet. ...5

TIJH. New York herald, from its extensive corrcapondenco throughout the Southern States, is onabled to state as a fact that three million bales of cotton have been grown this year, but doubts that it can all be gathered. The grtAt cry coming up from the South now is not for bread, but for labor. The crop is one a^ bot^ntiful as any known in the history of the cultivation of-the crop in this country. It is a fine condition for any section to be in, this thing of having a greater harvest than there are hands to gather. We often bear of such crops, and tho roport that they must go to waste for want of help to save th«m, but in the er.d it always turns out tbat the abundance is all saved, even if tbe help does not come. So will it be this year in tho South. As the Herald remarks, with cotton at twenty-five cents a pound and upwards, tbo people will not allow it to rot on the ground. They will, doubtless make an extraordinary effort to gather tbe whole of tbe precious treasure, and if the negro labor proves inadequate,, tbe white people—tho planters themselves, with their wives, pons and daughters—will go to work. The Southern people have loarned the valqo of industry and economy sinco they plunged into tho war and since the war ended, and have shown too much enter prisa to improve their fortunes within the lsgt few years to admit tho opinion that they will lose a part of their valuable crop through not using thoir own hands in labor. Wo expect to see tho whole three millions of bales gathered and three hundred millions of dollars or thereabouts realized for the crop. This will make the South rich again, and be proof indisputable of the silliness of tbo asiertion that the South is nevermoro to bo what it once was beeause it bus not tho slave labor it once find. Free labor has already domonstrated its fcuperioriiy to tho Southerners. They have but. to adopt it cordially and encourage it h. nost'y to mtiko thoir South richer nnd hsppier than has ever been.

WEEKLY EXPRESS.

AFTER all our immense outlay of money to perfect our defensive works it is discouraging to learn that the tour of inspection by the Secretary of the Navy has disclosed several very important defects in the coast defenses of the United States. It is reported to be the opinion of both him and General Sherman, by whom he was accompanied, that forts are insufficient in harbor defense and that, as in the cases of New Orleans and Vicksburg, if a fleet could once pass a fort it need not stop to batter it down. It is even asserted that the immense works at the Narrows are but a small protection of the city of New York. =====

QUININE IJ in demand/'

civil and political inequalities, and that the Republican party is now in a situation to advance and occupy the winning position. The thing to be avoided in that State is a division among the Republicans. Whatever they do should be done among themselves, in fair, open convention, as in Alabama, where the whole population enjoys the right of suffrage, and those only are disfranchised who are disfranchised by the fourteenth amendment. Any other course—like that in Tennessee, where the Republican quarrel is simply to restore the State to the old rebels— would be the organization of the Democratic party, and the transfer of West Virginia to the men who prepared and precipitated the war. =====

SULLIVAN FAIR.— The Agricultural exhibition now in progress at Sullivan is one of the most successful county fairs that has ever been held in this vicinity,

ONE of the peculiarities of human nature is the avidity with which people will bid on household goods at auction. At the recent sale of Mr. Usher's goods we learn that some articles were really sold for more than the same goods can be bought new and unused. —————

INSANE.—Application was made Wednesday for admission to the Insane Asylum of Eliza Smith, a young girl of twenty years, a resident of Nevins township. Her insanity of some four years duration, is caused by female derangement, and has become of such a violent character as to cause it to be dangerous to the community for her to run at large. —————

DR. BUCKINGHAM has an article in the Medical and Surgical Journal, in which be recommends strongly the use of ripe fruit, particularly peaches, for ordinary diarrhoea and dysentery sometimes with, sometimes without moiphin, as the presence or absence of pain dictates. He says be had just prescriblad a quart of peaches a day for a patient.

PARKE COUNTY gives a majority of ninety-five against tbe railroad appropriation, being the first county in the State to negative such a proposition.— The Rockville Republican says on this subject: "While other counties all around are voting donations for railroad pur poses, Parke county hat decided tbat we need no more improvements of that claps that the little bob-tail road we now have, is sufficient for the development of our immense agricultural and mineral resources. "Let us have peace."

D. W. MINSHALL, Treasurer of'lhe Vigo Iron Company, gives notice to-day, of an assessment of ten per eent. on the capital stock of that company. We loam that contracts for material for tho construction of the stock house have been made. Mr. Crawford has also contracted, in Pittsburg, for such portions of tho machinery as cannot bo made hero.— This grand enterprise will move steadily on to completion, and will be of incalculable benefit to our city. It is a splendid start in tho direction in which our prosperity lies.

tho friends of the enterprise confidently expect to raise the $5,000 needed to com mence the work. 'k

BOARDS of TRADE are being organized in neurly all tbe important towns of this State and the West. The one recently organized in this city by the millers and grain dealers, we learn has collapsed, and each member is now going It on the guerrilla plan.

of tbe society deserve

much credit for bringing about the same. Tho success, howevor, has beon moro in the matter of finance, than in a show of agricultural products, although the latter is by no means raeBgte, thero being over four hundred'entries.

The show of cattle is very slim, but the stud of fine horses would do credit to a Stale Fair- The department devoted to fancy articles is not well filled, which is said to be caused by some dissatisfaction in regard to the entry foe.

In apples and other fruits th^ro is an excellent exhibition, showing tbat in the growing of Iruit, tho soil of Sullivan excels that of Vigo.

The collection of fowls by George W. Basler, is the finest and most varied wo have ever teen at any fair, State or county.'

The pens contain several fine specimens of Chester White Pigs. In tho line of jellies Mrs E. B. Basler ba» a collection thirty night varieties, which we should bo pl«aed to see on exhibition at our Fair next W ek.

The sbow of farm products is good, but not «-xtHrjsiye. Among the exhibitors from Terre H»u are William Patrick, with thirtyfour varieties of apple*, twenty- hreo varieties of pears, and a lot of nur-tr tree* Heim Brs. with grapo.- and fl .wers S 1«9 Price, with a few apples Garvin & Owen, with some splnndid xpmi -nens ot penmanship and pen drawing Philip Newhart, with a collection ot plows A. B. Fouts, with sever-il iiors-s and Z. S. Wheeler, with the Wued sowing machine, in acLive opnration.

There are the usual attendant shows with the inevitable fat girl, the smallest lady, the bearded woman, the learned pig, etc. The cries of the showmen, with several auctioneers, patent mndicine men and two brass bands keep up the most discordant harmony imaginable.

The contest for the velocipede prize, yesterday morning was not of a very spirited character. Only three entries were made and two rode—Silas Wright and Aloah Gifford, both of this city. The match was not at all equal—Wright leaving his competitor more than onefourth of a mile behind on each heat, and making the two heats at his leisure in 6:50 and 8:10.

A trotting race occurred in tbo after noon, for a citizens purse of fifty dollars, mile heals, three best in five. Two horses were entered, and went as follow»:

Maxwell's "Billy"—1—2—1—2. A B. Foul's "J. hn"—2—1—2—1. Time: 3:10 3:20 3:15 3:1C At tfee conclusion of the fourth hent we were comoelled to leave on the train for home and hence have not tbe final result. The ch»nces, however, were in favor of Mr. Foul's horse.

Hon. D. W. Voorhees delivered an agricultural address on Wedoesdav, and Col. R. W. Thompson did the same yesterday afternoon. He surprised his friends by making, probably the shortest speech of his life, occupying less than thirty minutes. It was sandwiched in between the above named horse race. His remarks, as usual were excellent and appropriate.

The attendance yesterday was the largest of any day during the fair—fully five thousand people being present.— There Was a large delegation from this city and county. The fair closes to-day.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT! —————

A Boy Shoots Himself in the head with a pistol. —————

A terrible and fatal accident occurred on Thursday about five o'clock, to George Hamil, a lad of about fourteen years, son of Harrison Hamil, a cooper, residing on South First street. In company with another boy of about the same age, son of Mr. E. W. Piper, he went down to the river to throw stones at snipes. After throwing a while young Hamil pulled out a four-barrelled revolver and said he would shoot some. Mr. Piper's boy said he must go home, and started to do so, leaving Hamil looking into the barrels of the revolver. He had proceeded some six or seven rods, when he heard a report of the pistol and on looking back saw the boy struggling on the ground. Young Piper ran to inform his father, and on returning found the ball had entered the head just above the left eye. The ball did not lacerate the skin or skull, except to make a hole the size of the bullet. The eyebrow was burnt and the face blackened by the powder, so close was the pistol held, and blood and brains oozed from the mouth and nostrils. He was carried home, where he died in less than two hours. Drs. Young and Mahan were called but surgical aid could avail nothing. It is a terrible warning against the carrying or careless handling of pistols, especially by boys. ——————

THE Indianapolis <Mirror> has some remarks on "professional jurymen" that are as applicable in this latitude as they are true. It says: "A living obtained by sitting on juries must be precarious, if there is nothing but the fees allowed by law to be obtained. There is no man, however old, infirm, lazy, or imbecile, that could not make make more money selling peanuts or blacking boots. Therefore, when we see a man depending on jury service for a livelihood, we instinctively suspect that he is a scoundrel—that he is open to conviction through other arguments than those that fall from the lips of the counsel, and that he would sell his verdict for a consideration. This opinion of professional jurymen may be wrong, but it is generally entertained.— A business man would pay five dollars an hour for the privilege of being excused from jury duty and when we see men deliberately offering themselves as living sacrifices, and seeking what respectable men avoid, we naturally enough conclude that they are no better than they should be." —————

SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday night Johnny Woods, an orphan boy about twelve years of age, who has made his home with the family of Wm. L. Hoddy, on south Second Street, in this city, was terribly, and it is supposed, fatally injured at Mattoon. The boy had been at work near the Illinois Central Railroad and, desiring to return home, got on a gravel train on that road and came to Mattoon. In jumping from the train at that point his coat was caught in some way, and he was thrown under the train. Before he could be extricated one leg was cut off just below the hip joint, the other leg was badly bruised and he was otherwise injured. He was taken to a hotel in Mattoon where he was at last accounts. No hopes are entertained of his recovery. —————

THE SUPREME COURT in he latter part of their opinion in the Morgan case say that the appellant insisted tbat the Jury should have been informed that tbe statute provided that any person convicted of treason or murder in the first degroe, may, instead of being sentenced to dentb, in tbe discretion of tbe jury be imprisoned in the Stato prison during lifiry In justice to Judge Crain wo will stHte thai wo have Iwon 8h"wn the original instruction as give.i by tbo Court or.d filed in the Clerk's office, July 22, 1860, which is in th« following words:

N'. 10. Sec 4 prov.dtjs, "That if any person convicted of murder in tbe first degree may, instwad of being sentenced to deatb, in the discretion of the jury be imprisoned in the State prison during life."

The citizens of Prairieton petitioned for incorporation as a town, and an election was ordered to be held on Saturday, tbe "5th inst.

THE Contractors are at work this side of Markle's mill on tbe grade of tbe new road to Indianapolis. The line from Otter Crook to this city bas been locaUd, but wo learn some trouble is anticipated in regard to the right of way, and it is probablo that commissioners will have to be appointed to settle tbe matter. Tbe road will enter the city at the bead of Tenth street, crossing the Rockville road «t tbe Early grove, a short distance north of the Hulman property.

AXOTHER house-renter has come to grief. Ia the Mayor's Court Wednesday, Langford Peak, on a jury trial was fined thirty-six dollars for renting his house to Jane Cook. The house is situated in the fragrant region, known as Bagdad, south of the Nail Works. Tbe authorities are using commendable exertions to rid the city of this class of houses and penonn.
