The Democrat calls 011 "the people to awake to their interests, and in public meetings denounce Congress." The Democrat might vrith much propriety closed its remarks with the following quotation from that able and profound jurist, Judge Story, who said "Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise arc banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and tho profligates are rewarded bccause they flatter the people in order to betray them ",^1,

Cloak to Hide Hobbeij.

The (icucssce (New York) Democrat, edited by a leading Radical, who was a member of the Baltimore Convention that nominated Lincoln and J'ohnsou, and who has taken a prominent part in National and State politics in behalf of the Republican organization, is by 110 means pleased with the way Congress has been acting, and makes the following, by no means complimentary, remarks of that revolutionary body. Says the Democrat: "The course of Congress is misguided, and they will have to t4ko the back-track, particularly iu their robbing schemes of plunder. Underlie cry of impeaching the President, they ctfVer ?ttp their rbbberies of the

of more than 8500.000,000. We will mention a few facts as proof of what we say About S,000 miles of Pacific liailroad charter have been granted, including branches. To all these roads tho Government has lent its aid by granting 8l(i.000. 832.000 and 842,000 in Government bonds, to each mile of road made, to be certified by men in the interests of the companies the amount to be granted depending on the certificates as to grade, &c., which will always be the highest sum. To this is added 12,500 acres of hind to each mile of road completed, equal in all to §50,000 per mile multiply 850,000 by 8,000, and where are you Behold the figures—8-100,-000,000. Suppose it will only average the half of this amount, to an already overburdend people it is frightful. The stock of these roads is taken by the friends of the members of Congress— which means themselves. To make the robbery complete, and to cheat the Government out of the bonds issued, there is no personal liability of the stockholders, and the law provides that the roads may be bonded and the bonds have preference to the bonds of the United States."

In Washington county only 81S,O00 have been collected out of 8130,000 ou tax duplicate. Just think of it, $112,000 delinquent taxes in one year, in one county! And this is only one of many similar instances throughout the State.

Fort Wayne is ripe for a vigilance committee, and serious threats of summary punishment by neck-stretching are made against the swarm of thieves and cutthroats who have temporarily settled there.

Professor Hoss has been electrifying the people of Johnson county with 11 rhetorical presentation of the educational issue.

This Hoss is an unmitigated humbug, a humiliating disgrace to the intelligence of our State.

Chaunccy Page, the murderer of his wile and mother-in-law, near Valparaiso, some time ago, and now in jail at Laporte awaiting his trial, is said to have had a« engagement with a younfj lady of Priuccton, Illinois, and according to promise, was shortly to have been married to her.

The Tipton Times says that 82S,000 of the swamp land fund is to be expended in draining thatcounty. The cheapest way to drain that portion of the county over which we hunted turkeys (and didn't fiud 'em) last fall, would be to bore a hole through, and let the water out on the other side.—Ind.

Wesley Brown, of Morgan county, took down his gun, one morning last week,and remarked to his wife that he believed I10 would go out and shoot a squirrel.

I About the Grst of February, application was made in due form, by the clerk of the circuit court, for the admission in the Insane Asylum, of Anne Vanmeter. Nothing was heard from the application, and after a mouth or six weeks a communication was sent to the Superintendent, which in like manner remains to this day unnoticed.

He still has discharges of blood from his mouth and ears. The mayor holds on to the stalwart unprepossessing strangers arrested on suspicion, and is making preparations for a trial that will not fail to find out their guilt or innocence. Mr. Martin has not yet obtained any clue that promises the restoration of his watch, .chain and money. The watch was a very beautiful and much prized gift from a friend.— Laf. Cour. 'Ir1"'*

A correspondent writing l'rotn Farmland, Randolph county, says: "The recent heavy freshets caused by the heavy rains and melting of snow, have caused much damage through this country. Some three or four bridges over the Mississippi River, at various places, have been destroyed, besides a large quantity of fences and corn in the shock. The Union and Logansport Railroad is being rapidly finished. It is nearly all graded, the tics on the ground, and plenty of hands to do the work and the president, Dr. Converse, has plenty of currency to pay them promptly every month. The distance is ninety miles, on fifteen ot* which the rails are already laid down and a construction train ruuning over it. This road runs a due northwest course, down the Mississinewa River, through a fertile country. And when finished, will do a large amount of business, both in passengers and freight. It has already enhanced the value of land "from 20 to 50 aniounl^i Pj.it,rS'2± cinnati, which hetctoforc went to a northern market."

VERY

few men go to Congress now t6

legislate for the interests of their country —but to protect their own.

Frptn tho the Chioogo Ti ibune, (Had. Kc'p). "Impeachment a Menacc to Frighten thtf

I'resident from Vetoing the Tariff Swin' die." There has been considerable bluster and loud talking about an impeachment of Andrew Johnson, butin'thc light of tho tariff swindle, that schemc is rapidly becoming, in public estimation, a mere threat to frighten the President: from vetoing the act Congress has been exclusively intent tipoh maturing a scheme to plunder the farmers and producing -interests of the ootititry to enrich and ptimper an aristocracy of speculators. Everything has been sacrificed to this scheme of robbery. Reconstruction, suffrage, tho national finances, all have been made subservient to this one thing—to this imposition of a seventy per cent, tax upon the producing classes of the country: for the benefit of the monopolists.. -j

The people lia^e cowardice, whether it be the prudcuce and cautiousucss of tho pickpocket or the timorousness of the man who shrinks from duty. Andrew Johnson is no coward. The weakness of Congress has had no other effect upon him than to excite his contempt, They have refused to execute the popular will by proclaiming universal suffrage in the rebel States. He is not afraid of it. They havo sacrificed duty to the interest of an unscrupulous lobby and now the country may look forward at any moineut to the inauguration of negro suffrage by Andrew Johnson himself. It, has been intimated more thau onee of late by his newspaper organs that he was about to propose a "qualified suffrage" which would be satisfactory to the ooiintTy. Congress hasibotidone even this, »nd ac

to all appearances will.not. If:

A-n^rcw Johnson shall not give the substance of what the people' have unavailingly demanded at the hands of their representatives, let Congress look to it that they are not flanked by tho Executive and driven from the popular camp.

There is no more demoralizing policy than for an army, in the face of the enemy, to relax discipline and devote their energies to pillage. Had Congress gone' directly to its duty, and driven the tariff lobby out of Washington, instead of surrendering to them, the country would, before this time, have had the satisfaction of seeing the rebel States governed by loyal men, with the ballot-secured to every negro. But plunder has delayed them Andrew Johnson may at any time take the country with him by proclaiming the boon of universal suffrage, and by vetoing the very tariff to secure which Congress lias sacrificed all,olso.

The

of the most

daring robberies ever perpetrated in this vicinity was committed on Thursday evening last. About seven o'clock three men, two of them with handkerchiefs tied over their faces, and all of them with revolvers in their hands, entered the residence of Daniel Campbell, who resides about one mile northeast of Fairland, in this county, and remarking that they had a littlo business of a private nature to transact, admonished the inmates of the house as they valued their -lives to be very quiet, accompanying the admonition with a display of their revolvers in very careless aud threatening manner. Robert Alexander, a son in law of Mr. Campbell, and the two old tolks, were the only persons in the house. They at once seized aud handcuffed Alexander, and then proceeded to "go through the house." They fouud about two hundred and eighty dollars in money, which they appropriated, together with a silk dress belonging to tho old lady and an overcoat and a pair of pants belonging to the old gentleman, which were quite new and consequently of considerable value. The boldness of tho robbery, the early hour at which it was perpetrated and in a thickly populated neighborhood, aud the additional fact^, that two of the robbers took the precaution to conceal their faces by masks, is quite conclusive evidence that they were well acquainted with the family.—Shelbyvilie Volunteer.

During the receut session of the Common Pleas Court, an "original aboriginal individual came up 011 a writ habeas enrjnis. The writ was issued for the purpose of enabling a kind uncle to obtain possession of two "orphan Potawatomics'' aged respectively four and seven years. The children, since their parents' demise, have been tinder the carc aud protection of their graudmother, a very respectable aged squaw, living at the Indian settlement on "Grapevine" creek, ten or twelve miles southwest of this city. Lately it has been ascertained that these Indian children aro heirs to property, sufficient, at least, to enlist the sympathies of a very affectionate uncle, who was forthwith seized with a desire to care for the children.

the national coffers, through 'tlio'"

revenue system, is iuimense,"

to hundreds of millions of doI!ari'aI1„°£ ally. Everything manufactured by hand or by machinery, the products of agriculture, aud even the gross earnings of the industrial olasses are directly and heavily taxed. In every Congressional district throughout the Union an assessor has been stationed, who measures the value of the people's industry and sets apart a certain per cent, of it, which is gathered in by a colleotor and .paid over to tho general government.. This internal rovoDue system is but one of the tributaries that supplies the mighty reservoir that feeds the vast and complicated governmental machinery.

The stupendous tariff which shuts the doors to all competition, compels the labor of the country to pay tribute not BO much to the government, as to a few pampered monopolies. Every merchant iu the land is a collector of the tax levied by the tariff, which is promptly collected, no dedelinquent lists being returned. Through thiB system hundreds of millions coined, from the sweat of honest labor, passes into tho coffers of a few millionares. This high tariff system is another tributary to the great financial feeder of tho government. However, it drains the people's surplus wealth in much greater ratio than it enriches the national treasury. If these were the only revenue currents that were swooping away the products of labor, there might be some hope that the time would not soon come when industry would become completely exhausted.

But there are others iu motion subsidiary to these. The local taxes of the people are exorbitant. The expenso of runniug the State, county, city, township and town governments have greatly increased under the direction of the same party that manages the machinery of the General Government. By the time a mechanic or farmer has paid tho tax demanded by the Internal Revenue collector, by the dry goods merchant aud the grocery keeper, by the local municipal treasuries for State, county, and other purposes, at the end of the year he will find that his sinewy arm aud energetic will have produced but little or no surplus at all, save that which,'-'by pinching economy, he saved to contribute in the shape of taxes. He will be exceedingly fortunate if. he is as well off at the end as he was at the beginning of the year.

This constantly increasing drftin upon the industry of the nation will impoverish it. The time is coming, and not far in the future, when the people will -not earn sufficient to meet the current ^xpense of living and pay their taxes.

The streams that now keep 'in motion the wheels of the Government will dry up. *.

It is not au unreasonable estimate to put the amount of the entire rovenuc derived from national and local taxes collected from tli'e people at ten hundred millions of dollars, and' in this amount, the tribute paid indireotly by reason of the oppressive tariff,' is not iucluded. Such a drain upon the resources of labor ean't exist long without working national and individual bankruptcy.

To the appeals of a tax ridden .community Congress seems deaf as a post.
