John t. jtowUaX Eq.. and th Attorney Qsn
eratahip. "Wo noTicc that fomo of the Republi
can papers of this State aro moving in
tho matter of nominalion. Amon
others the tireensbur RcpuWean comes
out utronirly in favot of tho nomination
of John D. Ilowland. of Franklin coun
ty, f r Attorney General. Mr. How
land is certainly a vcrj cicver gentle
men, and it would afford us re:it picas
tiro to voto fr him for almost any po
sition ho is qualified to fill. Hut wc
mu.-t Lc pnrloned f-r PiirrircMin; that
tho Attorney Genera Isfr'ji is not exactly

V I. 1 lllllll V .." a.....v
tar Scfrtnry of State; find we should
,e pleased lo ee him cicnpy mat po
sition. But lor Atton.cv General it
hould he a man of lare experience in
the exu profession a man of solid at
tainments and high reputation aa a
jurist.
And just hero allow us to engest tho
name of Judire Win. T. Otto, of this citv
as a man pre eminently qualified for
that position. Tho. convention of the
4th proximo could n t do better than to
nominate him. IV. .1. Tribune.
Tho above from tho pen of Milton
Gre, Eh.-j , formerly a citizen of this
county, demands as wo think, from the
friends of John D. Ilowland, Esq.,
proper refutation. That Mr. Gre
phould prefer Wm. T. Otto, Iiis own
townsman, is not aurprisin, and that
Judge Otto possesses all the qualities
of a gentleman and jurist claimed for him
by Mr. Grec?, we cheerfully admit; and
aver ti-at under no circumstances could
Mr. Ilowlan Cr his friends futfer Iiis
et 110 promo' cd by detracting from the
r.-j-jist merits rrf Jiv. Olto r fjr other
gentleman. Judge Otto or Jno. I).
Ilowland requires no such bolstering.
The i:;ijvtation of Mr. Ilowlund'g
want of qualifications ij unjust and un
trtte. We know him intimately, and are
better judge than is Mr. Gregg, ar.d
foflrlclr mv, that there aro but few
men in tho State possessing, equally
with him, tho requisite qualifications.
With seventeen years experience as a
constantly practising lawyer in the in
ferior and Mipcrior courts of the State;
just in the prime of life; thoroughly
"read" In hi- profession; a head as
"clear as a bell," and forensic powers
uncqualed by most of his ussociatcs, be
has deservedly taken front rank with
the lawyers of Kastern Indiana, and in
our opinion is amplj "qualified to fill
Iho office" and that it uh exactly the
p'aee fur him."
Believing us wo do that Mr. Ilowland
pm.vesses the requisites claimed by Mr.
Gregg, "largo experience in tho legal
profession solid attainments and high
reputation .as a jurist" in as eminent de
gree a any gentleman of his age in the
State; to which we add a life reputation
fur morality ami integrity, unsullied by
even tho breath of slander, with high
moral courage that dares to do tho right
under all circumstances, we urge upon
7ür friends his nomination.

tc?U At a meeting of the County Com
missioners, held on Monday last, John
C Burton, Esq , was appointed County
Treasurerro tent, in place of Dr. Elliott
dee'd. Mr. Burton has long been well
acquainted with the business of the of
fice and is every way capable of discharg
ing its duties. A very worthy appoint
ment. 5? Wo are glal to perceive that our
esteemed friend Ir-i7 Reynolds,
ha- so far recovered roiyuis recent ill
ness as to be ablo V appear on the
streets again.
t3t Tho property known ns the Har
rel faim consisting of 400 acres situated
in Fayette Co., and owned by Geo.
Holland Esq.; has been purchased by
Mr. C. II. Scoffield of Laurel.
r? Tho sale of tho personal proper
ty of Enoch MeCarty dee d., which
took place on Monday last was lanrely
attuded and every thing sold brought
a good price.
The bill divorcing Thomas W.
Smith, whose trial for killing Carter,
in Philadelphia, excited so much inter
est, has passed both Houses of the Penn
vrTKjiii Legislatur.
Funeral of Dr. Elliott
Tho remains of tho lato Dr. Elliott,
wero on Friday last, follo'wecf to their
final res ting place by a largo number of
friends and citizen. Tho orders of Odd
Fallows and MasonVof which' ho was a
worthy member were largely in atten
dance to pay tho last tributo of respect
to a departed brother.
Previous to burial, tho body was con
veyed to tho Frcsbytcrian Church
whero an eloquent discourse was deliv
ered by tho Rov. Mr. Abbott.
P3m John Bright, a young man resi
ding Botno thrco miles from town, and
ns wo lean respectably connected, was
arrested on Thurdav of last week for
passing, ut tho store of Tyn r & Kimble
and to Mr. Adam Feltz of this place,
two five dollar counterfeit til's of the
Farmers Bank of Kentucky. Ho also
g:tvo to Mr. Lowry-Lynn of this place
another of the same riamp1'"who artfie
time of thö arrest had gono to Cincin
nati. Upon search, another bill of the
same character was found in his pos
session, as alsö two spurious two and a
half dollar gold pieces. It is stated
that a few days previous to his arrest
ho was seen to have a large amount of
money which no doubt, was equally as
bal.
Ho was brought before Justice Kil
goreof this place and held to bail in tho
sum of fivo hundred dollars, his father
Mr. Ezckiel Bright entering upon the
bond, for his appearance ut the next
term of Court.
tST" Leander Ward, proprietor of the
White Water Valley Mill, above Fair
field, has failed and mado an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors to
Wilson Price. Wo have ascertained
nothing as to his liabilities.
B., As. every body isaware, nodoubt,
tho cold weather during the last week
has obstructed navigation on tho raging
canawl, notwithstanding this our friend
Capt. Millis carries as smiling a face as
ever. Hofo wo shall have plenty of ice,
though the mildness of the winter
heretofore, has indicated quite tho con
trary.
It is rumored that tiov. Denver is
to bo removed, and John R. Potter, of
Albany, N. Y., afpointcd in his place,
Suüerinteudent f Public Instruction.
Now that the Supreme Court, by its
decisions, has destroyed tho most valu
able feature of the hool law, it is a
matter of great moment to the people
ä . . . . t i. ri
ot llio Mate, that we cicct a Mi pen n-
tendentof Public Instruction, who will
the most efficiently tret all the irootl out
of the part that remains, and whose ex
perience rod recommendations would
' .a. rlY t
h.a e wcirritt wan i no Jiegi :"i;;ura in
curing wise and judicious amendments
lo the law.
We believe that T. A. Goodwin, edi
tor of tho Indiana American, wonl "fill
the bill." Of long cxperianeo. in the
school room, and in public business, and
familiar as ho is, witlt the practical
working of the school r-stcms of this
and our sister States, he would bring to
tho work a mind stored with varied ex
perience, and abA:e all, an honest de
sire lo promote the car sc of education
among the people; Lei hiia be nomi

FiX ECTTTo.N oK TIIK .Ut Jv KEsPORT Ml'U-
nrnnits. Henry Fife and Charlottee
Jones, two of the MeKcesport murder
ers, were hung at Pittsbimr, Feb 12, at
2 o'clock. About thirty persons witnes-
ed the execution inside of the jail yard.
There was a large crowd outside.
Both delivered addresses, acknowl-
ing the justice of their sentence, but
pronounced Monroe Stewart innocent.
The latter is sentenced to bo hung in
a fortnight.
Action of the Kanzas LEmsLATt'RE.
The Legislature of Kanzas has taken
prompt and decisive action to defend its
constituents troin the outrage centem
plated by Mr. Buchanan, and in which
he determines to make the majority in
Congress his accomplices. As will be
seen from the statements of our corres
pondent, published this morning, the
Act providing for a Convention to frame
a Constitution in accordance with the
wishes of tho people, has passed both
branches of the Territorial Legislature
and, if vetoed b- Gov. Denver, as is
possible, will becom a law by the req
usite majority, without his signature.
The President's Message in favor of
tho Lecompton Constitution, created
great excitement in the Legislature. A
bill passed the Houso, o- the spur ot the
moment, making it a capital offence in
a 113 citizens of Ivanzas to attempt to
give any force or effect to that Constitu
tion. Excited speeches werfe also made,
foreshadowing resistance to the death
to this tyranny, if any attempt is made
to enforce it. No ono can doubt that
these lire something more than idle
threats, or that such resistance would
effectually backed up, if necessary, by
outsiders. It is not in human nature to
submit to such oppression, or to see a
brave people thus trodden under the
iron hetl of tyranny, without coming to
their assistance.
An act has been passed, over the veto
of the Governor, removing the Capitol
of Kanzas to Minneola, a projected
town tw. nty or thirty miles Southwest
of Lawrence. Whether this location
is likely to be permanent approved
by the people docs not appear to be yet
determined. It seems to have been
adopted, for the lime, as a compromise
between tho conflicting claims of Law
rence and Topeka. Cin Gazeite.
Ex-Governor Bebb, formerly of
Ohio, now of Illinois, who was tried a
few days sinco for shooting ono of a
band who wero "charivaring" his new
ly married son, was acquitcd.

ried, in Albany, Feb. 11th, to Mrs.
Mcintosh.
What a Southern Senator Said.
A Southern Senator (s iys the Tribune's
Washington correspondent) retrarked
that tho Republicans had gained tho
first battlo, sinco they drew tho first
blood, (Keitt's) and got tho first scalp,
(Barksdale's wig.)
Ice at Cleveland. Tho Cleveland
Leader, of Saturday, says:
The ice packers aro harvesting nu'rap
idly its possible. Ihe the river is from
4 to 5 inches thick, solid and clear us
crystal.
The Cuyahoga is tho merriest of m
tru. The ico is glare, and the skaters
glido and dart about liko swallows, on a
summer's eve, and at all hours of tho
day, tho sccno along tho river for miles
is most animated. Occasionally, young
ladies engage in tho exciting exercise, a
number of them good skaters. Yester
day, a few skatest ventured upon tho
Lake shore ico.
Deep Snow. By actual measure
ment, the snow that has recently fallen
nt Davenport, Iowa, was ascertained on
Tuesday to be fftecn inches.
5s3,A Washington correspondent
writes, that from what he knows of
Keitt, tho South Carolina sprig of chiv
alry, wdio disgraced the Hall of Repre
sentatives tho other day, he deems it en
tirely probable that he was "too drunk
to know whether ho was struck or not."
Brookville, Feb. ICth, 1S53.
To the Citizens of Brookville
and all ichom it may concern:
leaving m3 stable consumed b3 fire
on, or about the lSth of January, and
could not attribute it to : ny other cause
but that of an incendiaiy, from circum
stances, perhaps 10 trivial 1113' suspicion
in some degree, rested on a young man
of our town, but I studiously avoided
giving his name, therefore-1 hope to be
excused in this article ror not giving it;
but my house being on lire on tho night
of tho 14th, knowing nopossiblo means
by which it could occur, except it was
set on fire, I expr sscd my suspicion
to tho young man too freely, but under
tho most intense excitement.
As I understand a portion of tho pub-
lie having misunderstood, tho langrago
on the occasion, I here Bay I did not
charge him with setting my buildings
on fire, or if I did I was so excited that
I knew it not. I rejoice to learn from
those that know him long and well, that
inj' suspicions are groundless, that he is
kind-hearted, generous and free from
revenge and 1113 futuro course to. him
shall bo that of a gentleman, as I find
him worthy. JNO. P. WILLIAMS.
