TBE DEATH KNELL, TO Alt. "DKAD BXATt" WHO V.TK BT. We, the undersigned merchants of Bloomington, Monroe county, Ind., having been imposed on fr years by a large class of customers who always buy on credit and never afterwards make any effort to pay their accounts or notes, feel that forbearance with such has ceased to be a virtue, and in order to protect ourselves and all our honest customers from further imposition and injustico practiced by a large class currently reported as "Dead Beats," we do each of us hereby and herein agree, and bind ourselves under penalty of forfeiture of one hundred dollars to now enforce collections upon all who have thus imposed upon us in the past, and we further bind ourselves under a like penalty to publish' in our three county papers the names and schedule of all who in any way further evade the payment of their honest debts. People must learn to have some regard for their promises mado to merchants, or be dented all favors in tbe way of credits, and in order to secure this we each further agree and bind ourselves to furnish our brother merchants a full and complete list of all whom we consider "doad beats."

There are a number of gentle
men who are prominently spoken
of as candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Sheriff. Elijah Knight of Washington township is an energetic working Democrat,
and has claims upon the party for
services rendered. Geo. Lampkins,
a crippled soldier, has offered him
self before, but to preserve harmony
in the party, withdraws Elijah
Todd is also prominently mentioned in the southern portion of the county; hot these men will have
no chance with the town clique that
always controls the Democratic
pomidations the ticket has really
been determined upon, and thoce
oat-township gentlemen, however deserving, will have only the satisfaction of looking on while the
names that have been decided upon
are read off. Bona. Sogers of this
place is also prominently mentioned
among his friends, as a suitable can
didate for the office of Sheriff. He
was a soldier, and a good one.
Bona, and tbe writer have always been personal friends, and we don't
know of a Dctriocrat better fitted to
grace the position, though he is not
the one the managers have picket
on.

Howard Turner and Henry Axtell are in Putnam county, engaged in the sale of a subscription book. It has been discovered that a young lady can skate on roller skates much more successfully if she has a dime's worth of chewing gum in her mouth. Miss Lizzie Sluss, who has been visiting her brother at Brownsville, Mo., for some months, is at present visiting the family of G. W. Allbrd, in Loogootce. Rev. Jno. Bower has accepted a call from a Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis, Minn., and has asked Presbytery to dissolve the pastorial connection at present existing between himself and Walnut Street Church in this place. The Democratic State Central Committee had a meeting in Indianapolis last week. Hon. J. W. Buskirk, the member from this district was present. June 25 th was the time set for the State Conventon a week after the Republicans make their ticket. The Democrats will hold their National Convention in Chicago, in July, after the Republicans nominate their candidates in June. It seems to be the policy of Democracy, always, to wait and see what the Republicans are going to do, in order that they may take advantage of any mistakes that may have been made. There is an immense emigration to Kausaa at present. Every towu in the surrounding counties is pouring forth its emigrants by dozens and scores. It is a wise move for men with three or five thousand dollars in hand, but without monev they will find the struggle as hard in Kansas as in Indiana. The scene of the battle of
Pittsburg Landing was visited the
other day ly a correspondent of
the Call of Peoria, Ills. He says
that farmers stiil gather lead and iron in the field, and that one mer
chant shipped over 3,000 pounds of old bullets last year. The other
day a child found a shell that exploded after it had been buried twenty-one years. Of the 3,500 soldiers whose remains lie in the
cemetery, 2,361 were unrecognized.
Two large iron cannon serve as columns at the gate of the ceme
tery. The grave nearest them is that of the "Drummer Boy of Shi-
loh." Albert Sidney Johnson died under a large tree that stood uear by ; but of the free there is only the stump remaining, and the spot
is marked by a young evergreen.
A Texas Congressman, which
his name is Tom Ochiltree, proposed a resolution of sympathy on
the death of Lasker, the German
agitator, and got the House to pass and send it to Germany. Bismarck
wasn't a special admirer of Lasker's style of agitation, and so had
the resolutions returned. If old
"Bis."' could move into Southern
Indiana and learn how cheap and frothy resolutions are how easily they are manufactured and how little they mean except td give tbe Ochiltree kind of people an op
portunity to indulge in a little brief notoriety, he would Scarcely have taken the trouble to send the Lasker resolutions back, bnt would
nave tossed them into the waste
basket. Some of the members of the pompous, and high-fed debat
ing society at Washington, (commonly called Congress), are now
demanding b-l-uil ! They want to
declare immediate war on Germany
so do the sutlers and the army
contractors. But the good sense of
the people will hiss down these
grandiloquent blow hards, and com
pel them tc exhibit a little business
judgment. "Because Bisiriar'k rejected those frothy resolutions,- our $5,000 Congressmen are talking hoarsely iu their speeches, and declare that it was an insult (o Ike people.' Bah! The American

energetic call, expressed his grati
qualified endorsement of his official conduct and their offer of another
nomination. He stated that he
had not fully determined to be it candidate for re-election to the office of prosecuting attorney, but should he do so, and secure the nomination, he would most surely be elected.
Jos. E. Henley offered and read
the following preamble and resolutions :
Whereas, Tho Republican Party is now
as it always has been, in favor of a strict
and impartial onfero'ement of law ; and,
wliereas, it has always beon clairuo I and satisfactorily shown that the Republican Party is able and willing to correct anv
and all abuses that arise under its control and Management, and to purge its ranks of inefficient and dishonest officials; and,
wbereas, Jawson h.. JlcKinney, the late Treasurer of Monroo county-, Indiana, while holt'tinpr said ofiicR,became a default
er n tho sum of nearly $16,000, thcroby embezzling the hard earned funds of honest tar-payers, prostituting the office ho
til lea, bet raving tbe onntidenceof bis con
stituents, and especially of the Republican
rarty mat tiact so olteu Honored mm witti positions of trust; and, whereas, tho said J.ittwsort E. McKinnev is now in the State
of Texas, a fugitive from justice,
Therefore, Be it resolved by the Republicans of Monroe county in Mass Convention assembled, that we most earnestly demand that tho said Lawson K. McKinnc be broi.ght into tho Monroe Circuit Court to answer two indictments charging him with the crimo of embezzlement and that when he is so brought to this county he he prosecuted to the fullest extent of tbe law that ho has so recklessly violated and to tbe end that he may be returned to this county for trial, wo respectfully request and riumund of tbo Board of Commiesio.ierd of Monroe county that they make t sufficient apprdprialion out of the
County funds to defray thti necessary ex
panses in arresting anil returning sa:d McKinney to this county for trial on said indictments: Be it further resolved that we hurl back with tbe indignation and scorn tlu.t "it sd
justly deserves, the insinuations thrown
out by leading Democrats, charging the Itejmblican party with the responsibility cf McKinney's otfcnsn, as an insult to
1,800 honest itcpubiicaiis qf Monroe coun

The introduction oi this resolution created considerable discussion. Dr. McPheeters took the position' that a pirty convention ought not to pass a resolution to send for a fugitive from jaiice-s-that it wa no more the duty of a Republican Convention to do this than it would be the d'ity of a Democratic Convention that McKinney had ehibeizled the money of Democrats and Nationals as well as Republicans, without the knowledge or consent of any party or individual, and that tax-payers, without regard to party, should have joined long ago, in a petition to the couuty commissioners, asking them to apppropriale funds o pay the expense of bringing McKinney to justice: He was followed by If. IT. Friedley, Maj; Mulky aurt J. G. McPhteters
jr., all ot whom held to similar
views; Postmaster McPheeters, in his remarks, said that he wanted it understood that in voting for those resolutions, he was opposed to so much of them as was a virtual no
tification 10 the defaulter that preparations were being made to send for him, for he certainly would uot now remain iu Texas while it is so easy to cross over into Mexico, and laugh at their requisition his experience in thief-catching had Impressed him with the necessity of "slipping tip" on them. Mr. lienIcy defended ht3 resolutions with the arguments which they embody, and Thos. Eller, H. C. Duncan, N. U. Hill, aud others spoke in favor of passing the resolutions. "Question" Was-finally demandcd,aml the preamble and rcsoiutious were then adopted by a decided nnjoitty. The Convention then adjourned.
