Like many other towns it has been
exposed to the never resting waves of
civilization, but their dcjiasils liave
not increased it to any great extent. Its
present population is fifteen hundred,
perhaps, but the western style of buil
ding gives much more compxss to their
towns than ulticcs of like size in the
cast. It is the capital of Switzerland

appendages, Court IIouso &e. A

An epidemic real in effect, ami fear
ful to many, has for some months boon
ravaging Cincinnati and tho adjacent
listricts. I speak of the small-pox.
The city press has been so silent on
the subject that it is impossible to ap
proximate an estimate of the extent of
its ravages. That many havo perish
ed and many nioro been prostrated
there can bo no denial. It is about
ubilued at the present, and trado and
travel seem to be stimulated in propor
tion. Had tho truo state ot affairs
been known when the discaso was at
its height, Cincinnati might have ex

March 8, 18C9.
Tho weather clerk is distwsed to
give us another installment of winter,
although' the time is past when it
should have been. Rnow full in con
siderable quantities last week and
again wo had the merry jingle of the
bells for a short time oniy.-ifuw
the ground is baro. and looks sterile
enough to suit the most melancholy.
The city of Madison, on the Ohio in
this State, wore a sepulchral polor
and stillness at 5 o'clock A. M., on
Tuesday last, as the train for Idianap
olis mounted the steep blufls that over
look tho town and river. So wrapt
and profound whs tho silence it was
easy to imagine the clank of tho cars
the protest of gnomes whoso domain
we invaded. Four or five miles from
the river the country assumes iu prop
er level, and wo tlash on through
snow-laden forests nnd wide reaches
of prairie land. Tho sun rolls up
grandly above the horrizon, and dart
ing his quivers of light across wood
and field, tints all with a raollow
lustre. Our conductor, long, lunk
and awkward, a perfect specimen of
tho genus ' West, observes , to a lady
possonger that "it is a nice morning 1"
Slio knows it, of course, and follows
up this hint for a chat until she ex
hausts the subject and flics oft onto her
family relations and was going on to
tell when the entrapped conductor
imagines "a station just ahead !" That
was a talking machine he sprang and
must run down before she could stop,
so tho ear had tho benefit of the ro
maiudcr of her conversation, addressed
apparently to , a fellow traveler.
Things unimportant to enter here and
which I should havo mado no note of,
said she "always liked Dill, but he
was high tempered 1"
At Greenwood, twenty miles from
Indianapolis, a Western Pennsylva
nitui got on the train, aud sitting be
side him I plied my questions concern
big the country, ho having lived in
Hoosicrdom since '39. Land in his
part was worth $100 per . acre. Far-.
mers raise stock of all kinda.rainr-'
largo and small, fruit nor "so good.
Soil from eighteen inches to three feet
thick, black loam. Fever nnd ague

" So far nnd jot so near."
On? mile and a half Out from In.
diaunpolis on the road is the late U. S,
Senator Hcndruik's residence, look
ing, through' fhe'rif'ts Iu the smoke
from tho locomotive, to bo a comforta
bio place ; not nirish, in tho hifalutin
sense, but nestled away among a clump
of trees presenting in its face the home
of refinement. I cannot tell you the
secret of, "Tom" Hendrick's favor
among Indianians, but ho has an en
viable popularity with all pnr&jtjjticrc,

the train in, a depot that is alflionor to
anvpjty, capacious, clean, with every
mofferh convenience and but a short
walk to the business centre. Nine
railroads centre here. The first thins
that strikes the attention of the stran
ger ou tho sidewalks of the city is the
width of, its thoroughfares and the
beauty in its plan of construction.
The centre of the city is a circle, des
tined to be a park at some future day.
Street terminate at and pass this circle
at right angles to each other, extend
ing to the outskirts at all points of the
compass, and at the nrglea of the four
central blocks four avenues radiate
diagonally to tho perimeter of an out
er Circle, imaginable any wlicre iin tha

The Capitol building, howovor, is
looking badly; the cement with which
an appearance of frecntoue has been
given it, is Ciljiug off, making it ex
ternally vory. shabby. Tho large
square upon which it stand's would be
pretty in summer dress. I noticed tho
State arras, a canvass painting put in
rtlievo nbovo the entablature of tho
Tuscan poly stylo that forms one front
of tho building, was failed and torn,
a very good type of tho rest!iit dis
ordered condition of tho Indiana Leg
islature. '
Your renders have already, doubt -
less, been apprised of tho resignation
of the Democratio members of that bo
dy to su ch extent as to deprive each of
a imirnm, - Iimnw th. IItew. 1J
made tho Suffrage Amenilment to the
Federal Constitution tho order of the
aftornoon ol thu 4th inst. They (the
Democrats) snuffed tho African in the
breeze, caucused the night of the 3rd
and in tho morning took their place in
the lobby instead of on the floor, thus
stopping tho legislative machinery of
tho State government, nnd leaving ev
erything that depends upon appropri
ations, publio asylums, educational in
stitutions, etc., in chaotic confusion.
This will result iu an extra expense to
tho Suite of about $150,000 00, and
to tho counties whoso' representatives
resigned each an extra sum of $1,000 00
for special elections, which the Gov
ernor has already ordered for the 23d
inst. Three Democrats in the Senate
and iivo in tho House held their scats.
The secret of this is that they came
thero with small majorities and were
afraid to throw up for fear they could
not bo re elected. I was on tho floor
of the Scnato shortly after the fihaeo
occurred and, through the courtesy of
a friend, was presented-to several of
the members of both parties, with
whom 1 conversed on tile subject.
The resigned members wem confident
of coming back with increased major
ities, but Hon. W ill. Cuinback, Lieu
tenant Governor, and President of the
Senate, says just as confidently that
some of them will not como back nt alt.
If they had any .other motive than
Trrmwing'-tlllligs. U. ooufusioii, why
did notjill resign ? It is impossible for
inc, in this letter, to etitargo upon this
rebellious act of u rclicllious minority
to tho full extent I should like. Iu it
wo can see. aaoUiicr ebullition of Dem
ocratic hatrJH to representative govern
ment, profligate expenditure ot public
money by their reckless leaders, with
out any other cause but that the Leg
islature proposed to consider,',tho prop
osition of extruding suffrage to nil
citizenajjf tuotato. .
