are bat two political partis of consequence in loiliaoa this year „f our IsOrd 187 G, and of our nali' iial itxiefmimto the 100th. They arc the democratic and the republican. Both have tickets tu the field, and one of these two tickets will be elected in next November. As much as our independent friends may dislike the alternative preaented to them, and aa disagreeable as it way seem, this is tho truth, and it cannot ba ignored. The independent nag is already distanced; it has broken down and batter be lod off the track. The Independent party is like a broken bank; • *H ’ *■" lu nwuee will uo longer pass current in commercial circle. It is not worth the while of intelligent men to weep about this, to disouss at the present hour what ha* brought about this condition of affairs, or to make angry criminations. It is sufficient to recognise the facts M they exist, and to act as prudence, judgment and honesty <Jictsfce; pasting behind all prejudice and false jpijde. JJe only is truly independent who js honest, and only those are Jhonest who aqt from .conviction of duty. The patriot avqt has the good of his .country upperao&t in his heart, and labore with his uiiud aud his strength to promote her welfare and her glory. It Is human to err in judgment, and man is prone to make mistakes; but lie is a noble man and entitled to respect, even though he be not great as the world estimates greatness, who, when he discovers bi« qrror, hastens to make the reparation in his power. But there ne«d be no hurry about deciding between the parties until their national conventions have joined issues and nominated their candidates for president aud vice president. Bro. Horace E. James, of die Rftucelner Union, ia still troubled with dispe|rin. (Horace, charcoal lozenges are recommended Jta being good lor what ails you.— ti yivn faint Register. After experimenting for a number of years upon himself and friends, Dr Bedell, a "Prominent physician of Crown jPoiqt, Jnd-, and .editor of the Register of that city, publishes that charcoal lozenges ere a specific for the dispepsia. A marked improvement has been observed in the editorial department of-that newspaper of late, which may without doubt be traced to the returning health of the good Doctor and the free nse of the powerful antiseptic above mentioned. At one time Dr. Bedell was so low that it was thought he was dead, and numerous .obituaries extolling his many virtues and 4 scientific research were published in .contemporary papers throughout the state. Out of gratitude for his almost miraculous recovery, and with’ a sincere desire to benefit his follow beings, he now publishes to the world his great discoveij. It is remarkable what singular cir. cumsiances sometimes lead to wonderful discoveries, in medicine as well as other jiad been reading .in an agricultural journal that the charring of wood, such as fogqe posts and the like, or filling around them with charcoal, had a tendency to preeqrv.e them from decay ; the similarity of the material mentioned and that frequently found occupying the editorial chair had often been a subject of remark and Jed the Pqctor to experiment upon himself, and, we are glad to observe, with the happiest results. The Rensseiaar Union, in a lengthy article under the head of congressional nomina- . lions, favors Mr. Foxworthv for the high place of national representative. It is true the Union does not mention Mr. Foxwoythy’s name, hut it says we ought to nominate •*a ptain-spohen, honest man from the ranks,* ’ and as our candidate is precisely •that kind of a man, we take it for granted it hat the Union will support him.—Montifiello Herald. U___ Brother Huff pays a witty and neat compliment to his favorite. But whatever opinion The Union is thus made to entertain for Mr. Foxworthy, it must not be thought that we do not fnlly appreciate the almost unexceptionable ,ent incumbent; and if he should be a candidate for re-election it will require a gentleman of more than ordinary ability and popularity to defeat him. We have !iot yet heard anything that would indi#cate that Mr. Foxworthy could carry .cither his own (White) or Jasper county Dr. Hayngoud, although he maybe a very worthy gentleman and equally to represent the district iu congress. ■The congressional investigations do jiot unearth such a vast amount of fraud, wickedness and rascality as people had been led to expect would be found, gfter a party bad had uninterrupted tjODtrol of ,all the departments for sueli a long term of years. Sithcr the (republicans here been remarkably upright, or they.have been exceedingly shrewd and apeocsHfhl in hiding their misdeeds, or pise their democratic investigators have either been bribed to sileuce -jglgok the ability to cope with superior Jt||fnln|r and character. Tlx* suspicion la ms to assume definite outline that. : |}|gl of official crookedness

years are more imaginary than real. Of all the weary investigations with which congress haij been burdened this session only that which hoisted General Belknap out of the cabinet has paid for its worry. lion. Charles H. Test, of Indianapolis, honored our office with a hriof visit Ais morning. 110 looks as stout, and is ns vigorous meu tally and physically, as when occupying the ben eh of this circuit ton years ago. Judge Test is a pronounced advocate of the independent greenback movement, and hopes to see it the winning party in Indiana next October. Tho fetnte executive committee of the independent party might do very much worse than to place his name at the head of their ticket as candidate for governor. He would make a vigorous canvass, add greatly to the strength of the ticket, and, if elected, would be an excellent officer. Hon. Alfred W. Reynolds, of Monticcllo, is attending court in Rensselaer this week, being engaged as counsel in the Pettit-McCulley shooting case for McOuUoy. Mr.' Reynolds is recognized by bis professional brethren as one of the ablest young lawyers in Indiana. He is a prominent candidate for nomination for judge in the Pulaski, White aud Carroll circuit., on the democratic ticket. He is very popular wherever known, and if nominated by his party can rely most confidently upon being elected.

Major Fred F. B. Coffin, ex-treasurer of Porter county, who skirmished around the 1 Oth district two years ago, with bayseed in his hair and hypocrisy on his tongue, for the republican nomination for congress, is now announced as a candidate for the republican nomination for sheriff of Porter county. His admirers in Jasper county, who were captivated by his volubility, will be pleased to learn that he is well and still engaged in his “customary occupation at the old stand.” A call has been made for a meeting of the state central committee of the independent greenback party at Indianapolis on the 10th instant, “to fill vacancies “which have,or may then have, occurred ‘■in our state ticket.” But it is all too late to accomplish any direct purpose. The jig is up with that party for this campaign. “That bosses eyes is sot,” aud there is no use of wasting either regrets or votes on it. More than a month ago the Delphi Times took this paper to (ask most vigorously, became The Union expressed its doubts about the speedy building of tbe Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago railroad. From (he tenor of the Times' article we wene lad to expect a train up from Delphi within a few hours, but it is getting*awful monotonous waiting for the train to arrive. Gen. Milroy has been appointed collector of internal revenue for Washington . Territory. A good appointment.

Practical Repudiation.

Below is published a letter which recently appeared in the Indianapolis Sun (independent greenback organ) over the initial “R.,’’ and which is dated at Rensselaer, Indiana, April 27th. It will be seen that, the writer in his closing paragraph “suggests the propriety of an act of the legislature suspending the operation es all laws ‘Tor the collection of debts till such time as “the people can pay without being robbed.” This is simply a suggestion which covertly advocates the repudiation of private indebtedness, for .with a class of debtors the time would never arrive when they could pay without claimingio be robbed. After a legislature was witless enough to pass such an unjust law who would be competent to determine when a proper time to resume had arrived? Would it be the debtor or the creditor ? If the independents are plunging along into such an abyss of dishonesty as suggested by Mr. «£.. the eaoper people of character leave company of that kind the better. But to the letter: Since the state convention I have been reading your paper. From calculations in it, I learn that in the next generation, tho way .things hove been going for years, the capitaland lands of the Untied States will be in the hands of “lords,” under wliaL ever name they may be called. We are drifting towards a moneyed aristocracy, if we are not now under its rule. It seems to me Uiat most of our legislation, for years, lias been in the interest of money and mou--eytTEreaa Oar„ htffixintnrrt and cnngrewi are now tojed by the “money power,’’ as they used to be by the “slave power.” We fought the latter power to ita overthrow. Lei us so fight the money power, hoping it may be brought to a less violeht end before the people aro utterly ruined. As the democratic party iu state convention have proved false to the interests of the people, to make a show in the interest of a certain presidential candidate, who ought to be with us, and would he but for the threatening hard money power of the north, and as both the democratic and republican parties in their national conventions will likely take ground in favor of resumption at an early day. against the “inter-convertible” bond and greenback policy of the independent party, therefore, we say to this new party, stand fast by your principles, Jbping for nothing from these old fogy

hard money parties as such. But calculating to draw off from both the more liberal and healthy materials, till they shall into liquidation and the new party shall hnvo acquired strength to save the country ruin. Landers may “rise or fall with the greenback” but »e would prefer a man for governor who had less longing after a party that ought to have been buried out of sight long ago for its many “sins of omission and commission.” As the times are bad and still growing worn*; as thousands of men are being ‘*broke«*«p,” and a* thousands upon thousands will break before and after the great day of “resumption,” and before general confidence shall be restored and business revived, we therefore suggest the propriety of fin not of the legislature suspending the oju ration of all laws for the collection of debts till such time as the people can pay *Uoout being robveu.

Farming in Nebraska.

We clip the following from tho Farmer, (a j>»pw to be had free on application to tho hand Commissioner JB. tt M. R. K.,Burling,ton, lowa.) as something ilkely to prove interesting to of our readers. We would advise all who contemplate moving west to visit Southern loariv and Southern Nebraska bolero going elsewhere. Mr. E. W. Smith, of Ashland. Saunders county, came to Nebraska in 1870, from Grant county, Wis., and bought 820 acres “orTumr'TCt-js parflere fromtheßi At M. Railroad Co., now worth S2O per acr®. He lias 2[oaeres under the plow, and he finds the country adapted to all Jpnds of grain and vegetables. The cltuiate, ho says, is the best, the winters are short, stock can feed among the cornstalks aud do well tho most of the feeding season. It is the best country 1 ever snvr for hog raising, and corn can ba grown very easily. Since I capie to Nebrasku 31 families from.Grnnt couuXy, Wis., have settled around me, and they are all doing better than ever they did East. One of my neighbors had jJ5,000 and bought 240 acres of railroad land at sl4 per acre. In three years he has doubled his capital. Nebraska is a State wlierc a mau with means may settle with great advantage. Near Hpi-vurd, in Clay county, John A. i JlisholF settled in 1871, taking up a quarter section of land. At that time he hod only a span of horsoa amt a plow, and very little other mean 9. He has now a house, oornerib and granary, and owns two cows, several head of young stock, and a small herd of fine hogs. His wheat harvest in 1875 averaged 24) bushels per acre, 6} acres in China tea wheat. rca"hing3o bushels to the acre. Twenty acres of corn produced 1400 bushels, or an average of 70 bushels to the acre; 13 acres of barley, 44 bushels per acre; and onts 58 bushels per acre. Br. Bisholf has a young orchard of apple, peach and cherry trees, and all the trees are injjyifty condition. He 9ays, “a man with the same “amount of labor, can get a bigger yield “from Nebraska soil than from the soil of “any state east of the Missouri river.’’

Mr. S. P. Thompson for Congress.

Some of tho papers in the 10th district ■peak favorably of S. P. Thompson as a candidate for congress from that district, Good available congressional timber lias seemed to bo rather scarce in that district for some time, yet while it is not our funeral we think the people over there are acting wisely in looking around carefully to see what they have got. Mr. Thompson, although a comparatively young man, is a man of “good parts,” possessing an excellent mind and is most active, energrtiv, fearlese and indefatigable, in the discharge of both hia public and private duties. He is also very popular as a citizen, and successful ati a canvasser. He would honor the district should it honor him in making him its representative). —Fowler Herald.
