CONGRESS has agreed to adjourn on the SMth of June.

THE Logansport Pharon says that "reform is another name for official corruption and downrieht plundering."

THK death of (JenTCroxton, of Kentucky, late United States Minister to Bo livia is announced. He died about a month ago.

THE Clinton county Democracy in convention endorsed the Baxter law, and now cornea the Vigo county Democracy denouncing it. Locality has considerable to do in politics these days.

Lebanon is always first in the field in all improved patterns on frogs..

OMVER BOORD, the chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Fountain county, is a candidate before the nominating convention for Auditor of that county. If the Republicans of Fountain succeed in getting a ticket composed of such men as Oliver they will be fortunate indeed. He is an active Republican, and we. believe would prove to be an efficient and honest officer.

FROM a s[ecial dispatch to the Chicago papers we learn that Hon. G. 8. Orth introduced into the House a petition Irom the Women's Temperance League of LaFayeUe praying "for a law requiring all officers of the United States to take an oath to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors during their term of service, believing it would annually save to the government millions of money, and have a beneficial influence upon the consciences and conduct ol the young men of the Nation." It was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

THE City Council of Logatisport first fixed the salaries of city officers as follows: Mayor. $t00 Civil Engineeer, $1,500: Clerk, $1 ,.'500 Marshal, $700 Treasurer, 4 per cent, on duplicate collections, and 2 per cent on miscellaneous I collections Policemen, $70 per month Chief Engineer, $125 Lamp lighter, $50 |er month Engineers of Steamers, $70 per month. As might be expected this raised a storm of indignation, and at the next meeting of the Council the salaries were reduced io the following figures: Mayor, $250 Civil Engineer, $1,(100 City Attorney, $500 Marshal, $(500 Clerk, $800 policemen, $00 per month Lamp lighter, $55 per month Councilmen, nothing.

THE Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, in session last week.at Indianapolis, unani-J inously adopted the following preamble I and resolution

Inasmuch as our order is placed mi

question of temperance, and erroneous: views are entertained by parlies outside uf the order on our position as Odd Fellows, therefore

Resolved, That our Grand Representatives to the Grand Lodge of the United States be instructed to urge upon that body the passage of a law prohibiting lodges from receiving into their membership any person engaged in the manufacture or sale of spirituous liquors, and that tliev be requested to use their best endeavors to induce those who are now so engaged to relinquish the traffic in those articles.

THKrjtate Medical Convention, in sesMOII at Indianapolis, before adjournment adapted the following resolutions on the death of the late^ Dr. T. W. Fry, of this city

WHEREAS, It has pleased the All Wise Disposer of events to remove from this -phere by death our friend and associate, T. W. Fry. M. D.,one Of the oldest members of this society, therefore be it

Resolved, That in his death we recognize the hand of God and bow in humble submission to his will, and that this mournful event has deprived us of one whose long and intimate association and

honorable and generous character had won our esteem and affection, and while

we mourn our loss we will ever cherish his memory. Resolved, That in the death of Dr. Fry, this society has lost a member who, by his mental culture and professional attainments, upright ana gentlemanly liearing, afford an evidence of a life of usefulness and honorable distinction.

DR. 5?. G. IKWIX, of this city, and a member of the State Medical Society, was reprimanded by the President of the .society tor publishing the following card:

Samuel F. Irwin, M. D., physician and surgeou will devote special attention to the treatment of diseases of a complicated or dangerous character. OfBce hours from to 8 A. M., from 12 M. to 1. I\ M., and from 7 to 9 r. M., closely observed. Terms cash, or cash finally without a reasonable doubl. Oflice, No. 42 south side Market street, Crawfordsvlle, Indiana.

Dr. Irwin, it seeius, wanted the people to know where his office was located, the time he could be seen at his office, and the conditions on which he accepted patients for treatment, so he advertised as above. The offense was a violation of the code of ethics, and the society paased a vote of censure. The Indianapolis Sun says such proceedings almost make one feel that the medical profession is a fraud.

THE following named gentlemen have been spoken of in connection with Congress this Fall: Jim McCabe, Tom Harrison. Arch Johnson, Tom Ward, John 11. Coffroih and L. M. McClurg. Our preference would be decidedly in favor of our fellow citizen, L. M. McClurg, if lie could be induced to run, and if not we are then in favor ol the Hon. Archibald Johnson, of Montgomery county, who is known till over the District so well that to enumerate his claims and qualifications for the office would be useless.

Knowing as we do that the sterling integrity and eminent qualifications of honest old Archie ar» felt and appreciated by all who know him, and believing that Mr. McClurg does not wish the nomination at this time, we do not hesitate to announce in favor of Mr. Johnson.— Frankfort Crescent. "Honest old Archie" would be about as easily defeated as any Democrat we know of, and, therefore, have no objections to his nomination. Trot him out.

FORT WAYNES, transports and LaFayettes will arise on the Toledo & St. Louis Air Line, and what other place has better prospects of becoming one than our own beautiful Marion? Certainly none.—Marion Chronicle.

None, except Crawfordsville.

Believing the time has come when every Republican should do all in his power to influence bis party for good, when none but competent, faithful arid honest men should be nominated for any office, all Republicans and all who are persuaded they can not be politically right until they become Republicans are again cordially invited to participate in the proceedings of this convention.
