TUE KUNAN CASE, j, 1
A friend, last week, furnished us a
statement regarding this case, as it oc
cured in Conference, and Lis having re
joined the Church as a probatiqner,
which we embodied in an editorial arti
clel' Tho?e remarks are , construed by
soma as censmfng the conference for
tbe course they ; pursued in refusing to
give him a trial. Whilst we believe that
no harm would have come to the church,
by granting him a trial, yet we cannot
see that . Mr. jK. or his friends .could,
after aevering:his connection, both: as
minister and member, expect a difflerent
result; and as we desire to be just, .we
copy the following from the Kokomo
Tribune, as a fair statement of the other
side of the question : R . , .a
"Now that Mr. Kinnan is not to be
tried here, we do not hesitate to suy a
few words that otherwise would not be
said : - ' -4-? .
Dr. -Bowman, as his friend, was a good
nnd valuable friend, and he needed no
other. The hosts of men, from .two or
three cities, who were constantly hang
ing around like a land lobby; talking
"Kinnan," were very damaging to him.
We know the times are wondcrous sin
ful and the earth is quite full of corrup
tion, but it has not yet come to that that
a conference of preachers can be rhani
pulated and worked over like so much
dough. There are strong minds in this
conference, and to all such the outside
influences were disgusting. Had those
bad influences not been here instead of
seven the resolutions of Dr. Bowman
would have ' received three times as
many vote9. "We do not mean that any
man changed his vote, or rather that he
voted against" his judgement, but many
who were Mr Kinnsn's friends'at first
began to believe that there must be
something wrong beh:nd such a labored
effort. . .... ' '
Nor does Mr. Kinnan " impress men
much in "his own favor by his own words
lie is a bad manager. About his guilt
or innocence we have nothing to say be- j
cause we don't know. But we do believe
Conference did right to refuse to give
him a trial. There are those gabbling
on the street that the conference was
afraidrto try him because the members
did ot want to bring bad conduct of
preachers to light. This . is very silly
And it would be equally as silly for , the
conference to admit a man as a member
just for the trouble of trying him.
Kinnan got into trouble. He should
have stood up like a man, faced the dev
il, and , asked ,.the church he always
seemed to love so much to stand by him.
If he had done this, he need not have
bad aoyfear of testimony hired. This
Conference would have riddled such tes
timony till it would have availed noth
ing. But he got scared, 'resigned," and
backed down, forsuking the church that
would hae been bis fast friend until his
guilt would have been established. Uu
der all the circumstances, we think this
Conference bad as much right to send to
New York for JVIeFarland, who shot
Richardson, and try him, as to have
tried Kinnan'. -
PASSENGER DEPOT. :
At the meeting at the rooms of the
Board of Trade a few evenings since, the
interested railways were fully represen
ted, and our city was present in the
persons, of. many of the best and most
-influential citizens. The plan under con
sideration urns that which has been al
ready shown at the rooms of the Board.
The estimated, cost of the building
alone is 860,000,. and the attendant out
lay in track, -yard and other improve
ments contemplates an equal sum. Our
city is called upon for an appropriation
of 830,000, which ensures the joint oc
cupancy of the Ft.-Wayne R. R. . A
committee of seven was appointed to
secure the , donation in behalf of the
city, and -they -will proceed in a few
days to make a thorough canvass of the
city, and there is no sort of question but
that the requisite aid will be promptly
forthcoming, 'and -that Richmond will
have a Unicn Passenger Depot, before
the snows of the. next winter, which will
be second to none in the State for ele
gance and convenience. f
We hope our -citizens will cordially
respond to the call which is thus made
on them for one of the things for which
we have the greatest want.

THE rOBT ffAWI RAIL BO AD.
" To the1 Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of
litchmona , .
Gkntlkmes As I was deprived the opportunity
of reporting talbe Board of Directors of the Cincin
nati, Richmond A ft Wayne Railroad, the result of
investigations and consummation of arrangement,
looking to the completion of said work, as Chairman
of the Committee appointed for that purpose, owing
to my absence from home, I take the liberty of pre
senting the same to you, and through you to the
people who hare to defray the expense of carrying
on this unfortunate enterprise. '
More than a year ago, Mr. Parry, President of tbe
company, obtained a promise from Benj.-E. Smith,
then President of the C C A I C R R Co., to furnish
tbe iron necessary to lay the track to Winchester,
and proceeded to prepare the grade, bridge and tie
it, and by tbe time thia was done, at great sacrifice
of means, provided by the City Council, Mr. Smith
was superceded in the management of his road, and
from this cause with others, declined to comply with
such promise. ' " -
Air. Parry being thus toiled in bis expectations,
and no immediate prospect appearing, to enable us
v to proceed, I opened a correspondence, in mr own
name, with Mr. L'llommedieu, President of C ll A D
and Cin. Uicbinond A Chicago R R Co's, and obtain
ed prospective atd from bim, aad through him, of
John W. Uiirrett, of Balto. A Ohio, and John King,
Jr., President of Marietta A Cin R R and at the
same time procured the assistance of R. M. Pomroy,
President Central Branch Union Pacific, and presen
ted to the Board, a plan of operations, which seemed
to be feasible beyond a doubt. Whereupon a com
mittee consisting of myself. Messrs Starr, Scott,
Stone and Studebaker, was appointed to carry out
the same. ,
We then proceeded to prepare a report of the con
dition of the work, embracing all its present and
prospective advantages; which compares favorably
with any other document of the kind extant,--with a
map of through line, exhibiting its relation to all tbe
roads of this section of country, from Cincinnati to
the Straits of Mackinaw, looking to connections at
Cincinnati with their contemplated Southern road.,
and forming the second best north and south line in
tbe West, and at the same time furnisbiog as a com
peting route east, by which we conld hare rates of
freight on as good terms as other cities.
Alter a long and laborous correspondence with the
gentlemen just Darned, and others, East and West,
including Iron dealers, in order to make the entire
plan fit in all its parts, a meeting was held at the of
fice of President Garrett of Baltimore on tbe 10th of
March last, A F Scott, Dr T H Davis, Pies't Pomroy
anJ myself, representing' our road. Pres't L'Hom
medieu, the CHAD&CRAO Pres'n Garrett, the
B A O and Pres't King, the Marietta A Cin. and secur
ed the following proposed agreement; tbe CHAD
and tbe B A O representing tbe MAC also, t en
dorse the bonds of our road, amounting to one million
five hundred thousand dollars. Payable principal
and interest in gold forty years from date seven per
cent, by setting apart thirty three per cent, of the
gross earnings of their respective roads through to
Baltimore and intermediate points on all freight and
passengers received at Richmond, wherewith .to take
up said bonds, tor a period ot ten years and transport
the iron chairs' and spikes for our company from
Baltimore. We agreeing to reverse this arrangement,
and set apart a simular sum after ten years, to buy
back the same, and to retain our own earnings to
defray contingent expenses, Ac. The parties con
tracting to furnish mutual aid in placing the bonds,
which was considered a sufficient guarantee
which was fully illustrated by an unsuccessful ef
fort of Messrs NVorthington and Frazier of the Junc
tion or Muncie road, to suppress it. .
Sometime was necessary to refer this agreement
to the executive committee, and adjust tbe minutiae so
as to procure a new issue of bonds and present the
matter to capitalists, which Mr. Pomroy would un
dertake to do. Acting on his advise, Dr. Davis and
myself returned home. Mr. Scott and Mr. L'Homme
dieu went to New York, Mr. Pomroy left for Wash
ington, all satisfied that tbe work was accomplished,
- and considering myself at liberty for a short time,
could fill an engagement with my own family and
rest from what has lieen an arduous undertaking in
learning a new business of all others tbe most diffi
cult. While thus engaged, friend Parry was busy doing
what be considered of more interest to the pblic,
forgetting his relation to the committee, with which
he promised not to conflict, and .suffering himself to
urge upon another party whose policy in this case is
inimical to ours, a plan whkh could not fail to de
feat us, and finally defeat itself, by involving gener
ous confiding citizens in personal liabilities and tbe
public iu onerous taxation for no benefit whatever.
Tbe arrangement made in Baltimore, provides on
cur part, for grading, bridging, ties and ballast, clear
through, as fast as practicable, to be paid for out of
subscription already made, and deemed sufficient;
the rails, chairs and spikes, to be provided for
by sale of the bonds of the road as before stated, of
which there is enough to include the necessary roll
ing stock, and no special tax or individual liability
required. Though the committee embraced the pro
posed tax in their report, tbe engineers estimates
and prices it whi h tbe entire line is let, renders its
use'unnecessary. A contingency might arise, when
a portion of it would be needed, but my special object
was to avoid its collection, until tbe contingency
should arise.
President Party's plan based on what purports to
be a proposition from the Pennsylvania Central R R
Company, for tbe iron only to Winchester, and
embraces an indemnity to themselves of double
the amount of material, furnished in bonds of the
road, and 450,000 individual liability, guaranteeing
the collection and prompt payment of a large sum of
money within a short time, which from the histoiy
of all such operations, must produce certain disaster
as it is known that the collection of the tax will be
resisted. But if it is not individuals should never be
called upon by public officers to involve themselves
disproportionately in enterprises that can be consum
mated through their own means as proposed in this
case by committee.
I have no desire to detract from Mr. Parry, on tbe
contrary, I sustained bim for a year and a half, until
experience decided it proper for me to proceed as 1
did, hoping to render him and the public some ser
vice; 1 am now convinced that be is in error, when he
concludes, that what he cannot do, cannot be done.
It bas been charged tbat my criticisms in regard
to 'President Parry's' operations are based on a de
sire to secure his position to myself which, would
be the height of presumption I suppose. I thought it
would be a sad re Section on tbe intelligence of
Wayne Township, if there were not a hundred men
as competent lo fill any one of his numerous offices,
and a thousand breakmen throughout tbe country
that could make tbe road to Ft. Wayne as soon as be
will by himself. Works of this magnitude require
genius and skill which neither of us possess, and
.when he has discovered this simple fact he will unite
with me in trying to secure the services of parties,
who can do it for us, but I cannot aee wherein the
'Central' have an interest in building our road, ex
cept to contract it 1o our disadvantage, and will do
them the justice to say that I think they have no
desire to invert at all.
I will add tbat there is no propability of success
fully accomplishing this work on any other plan
than the sale of its own bonds, and that the interests
of influential rail road men must be secured, ic'or
der to do it, and it would be expedient to suspend fur
ther operations, and save the small amount of money
which is unexpended, for this purpose.
Thcie is yet a probibility that, by proper action of
the Board, the contract of the committee can be reviv
ed and carried out successfully, it too much time is
not wasted in experimenting on visionary and im
practicable ideas. .
It is by no means expedient to attempt to carry
this work torward by taxation, with which we are
already burdened too much.
In conclusion, I wish to say, that I rendered my
self and the people of this city, under special obliga
tions to the several gentlemen mimed, and particu
larly to Messrs. 1 ilommedieu and Pomrov, for
counesies and attentions which I should be happy
to God properly appreciated.

Van Amburgh's Menagerie and Circus.
The fact thathe Menagerie and Cir
cus of Van Amgurgh & Co., is the stan
dard exhibition of the kind in the coun
try, is one which admits of no dispute.
It is no ephemeral . institution, but has
grown with . the nation, enlarging and
improving annually, to meet the require
ments of the age, until it has reached a
point of excellence that other concerns
despair of imitating, and a scale of mag
nitude that renders it without doubt
the largest traveling exhibition in the
World. "
But aside from the rare and multifari
ous a tractions which Van. Amburgh &
Co., offer to the public, the. excellent ar
rangements for the accommodation of
their patrons, together with the certain
ty that the fathers of families can take
their wives and children to the enter
tainment, and be received by polite and
intelligent attendants, anxious and will
ing to render any information concern
ing tho habits, peculiarities and natural
history of the, various animals t under
their charge, will particularly con mend
themselves to everybody.
The management have succeeded in
.elevating their exhibition far above the
low estate to which kindred exhibitions
have fallen, and making it, as it should
be, a place of intellectual and instruct
ive amusement; the consequence is that
its support is mainly derived from the
best classes of society, and it is no in
frequent spectacle to witness clergymen,
of all denominations, with their families
in attendance, In fact, we understand
tbat complimentary invitations are al
ways extend to the ministry, and that
the management are in possession of
hundreds of letters and testimonials
from clergymen, recommending the ex
hibition as an instructive and. entertain
ing moral exhibition.
We take pleasure in apprising our cit
izens that this exhibition will be in Rich
mond, Saturday, April 30, 1870.
"Paris by Snnligbt and Gaslight." A icork
descriptive of the Myaterie and MUeriet, the Virtitet,
Vice; Spleudori. and Orimet of the City of Pari By
Jamet D. JfcCube, Jr. National Publishing Co., Chi
cago. The eagerness with which all Americans who can
spare tbe time and means, rush off to Paris every
year, has become almost a national characteristic
Indeed, this is not to be wondered at, for of all places
in the world, Paris offers th greatest attractions to
the lover of pleasure, and what people love pleasure
so well as our own countrymen? This most interest
ing of cities displays to tbe novice its enchantments
in two aspects so widely different, tbat tbe author
shows us Paris in two different phases "By Sunlight''
and "By Gaslight." The quantity of serious and
veritable history presented by this work, as connect
ed with the various objects of interest in Paris, is
immense. Tbat of the Palaces and other public
buildings is exhaustive and complete. The reader is
made acquainted with all the proud triumphal mon
uments of the past and present eras. He is lead
through the grandest galleries af art, and the history
and descriptions of the leading objects of sculpture
and painting, are laid before him. He is introduced
into the family of the JEmperor, and carried through
every phase of Parisian social life. He is led up fo
the garrets of the pretty Grisettes, and listens to the
stories of their loves; and is made a confidant in tbe
secret intrigues of tbe ladies of rank. He visits the
Queens of the Demi-monde in their gorgeous houses,
and counts their lovers by their jewels, lie luxuri
ates in the delicacies of French cooking and Parisian
drinks and smokes his Cigarette at night on tbe
glitering Boulevard. He has the curtain drawn back
and is shown tbe dark mysteries, the rogueiies, vil
lainies, and the frightful crimes of the City. He is
amused, instructed, startled, thrilled, horrified by
turns, and when be lays the book aside, finds it hard
to believe that he has not actually seen Paris fcr
himself, and participated, in person, in the scenes of
which he has been reading. Tbe book is illustrated
with 150 splendid engravings, made in Paris, by the
best artists of Fr mce, under tbe personal supervision
of the author. It is sold on Ir by subscription.

April 22d, l789.' His children have been
for the past few years in the habit of
making a party at one or he other :of
their houses, an! having all the relatives
present, and aTfew friends. "On this oc
casion they met at Isaac Evans', South
Franklin. The number of children,
grand children and great-grand children,
present, was thirty-five, there ' were
just eighteen absent, whole number of
relatives'and guests, fort3'-six.
Mr. Elderkin is the father of thirteen
children eightgirls and live bojs, of
whom seven girls and one boy survive
A somewhat singular coincidence in Mr.

teen children exactly the number that t
constituted the States in the Union when
Uncle Sam first started in bnsine33 in
this country. :

Hinsbaw went to town, one of them went into
a saloon and and engaged in a game of cards
with three other men named Hill, Page and
Heaston. Tho latter were all playinS against
Hinshaw. An altercation ensued in which
Hinsbaw was badly beaten and seriously in
jured. His brothtrr was sent for to take htm
home. While he was being placed in a wagon,

which aroused his passion. Tbe brother sprang
to the sidewalk and stabbed Heaston fatally,
and he died within a few minutes. Page, Hill

principle as the ordinary boot. It has all the hold
and bearing- upon tLe foot that is necessary to keep
it in its place witDou t lacing. 1 ne seams are at such
points as can nerer hurt the feet, and the part abore
the counter needs only to be closed by a simple buck
le and strap,, to Keep out dirt and rubbish : sarinr
time, trouble, and vxation to 4he wearer They bare
been thoroughly tested, and maintain the good repu
tation iner nave so justly aerjatrei." They are now
beinz fold in nearly eleven hundred places, and are
giving- universal satisfaction. They ate made in the
most durable manner, and every pair warranted. '
