The Court was unanimous in this opinion, notwithstanding it is largely composed of Democrats.

NINTH INDEP END-

A convention of the Independent or Reform party of this District, held at La Fayette on the lltli, nominated Hon. Arch Johnson, of this county, for Congress. The convention was rather small, but was attended by representatives of nearly all of the counties in the District.

Maurice Campbell, familiarly known as 'iCheap John," died at his residence in this city on Sunday morning, the 9th, after an illness of several months. Although only 14 years a citizen, he was one of the best known men in the country. The biographical sketch which appears below was published in the Joi'iia of May 30, 1S72

"Cheap John, "was the son ot Alexander

Campbell, and was born in the north of Ireland, in the county of Donegal, August 22, 1S41. Untifhe was seventeen

Twenty dollars of the fifty were now gone. He left New York lor Wheeling, Va., where he lwd a brother. After spending a few days with him in visiting he was provided by his brother with a small pack of table lin-eii and notions. He came over into Ohio and commenced his pilgrimage of traveling from house to house to dispose of his merchandise. He was quite succsssful and by Christmas he was enabled to repay the money he had "borrowed" lrom his father, and $2o as interest. He traveled in that State till tLe Fall of '59 when he came farther West and spent that Fall 'and Winter in,supplying the women of Illinois with liis linens. In August, 1S00, he came to Crawfordsville, since which time he has been a citizen ot Montgomery county. He commenced the spectacle trade the first year he was here in a small way, selling only the cheap quality. His trade rapidly grew, and with it he increased his stock both in size and quality until he had succeeded in introducing

"Cheap John," as he was familiarly called, is known to every man, woman and child in Montgomery county. By his never failing fund of good humor, his social qualities of head and heart and his fair dealing in business, he has succeeded in building up a trade that many business men with more pretensions might envy.

MEIMJtYVILLE JOTTINGS.

The terrible, withering, blasting drouth is at last over. We had a glorious, refreshing rain on the night of the 9th, accompanied by the most appalling claps of thunder and the fiercest flashes of lightning I ever heard or witnessed. The whole canopy of heaven seemed to be on fire from 12 o'clock at night until 5 in the morning. Fortunately there was no wind with it, and have heard of but little damage to craps. The rain came too late to save the upland corn, but the corn on the bottoms will still make a fair crop. For the great good it has done in replenishing our wells, reviving the grass and saving to some extent our corn and potatoes, let us be thankful.

The Republicans of the 10th District met at Valparaiso on Thursday of last week and nominated Major W. H. Calkins, of Laporte, for Congress, on the ftrst ballot. The convention was large and harmonious, which speaks well for the triumphant election of Mr. Calkins. He is favorably known all over the Districts being able, honest and capable. He has filled a number of offices of trust and profit to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. Four years ago he represented Laporte county in the Legislature, and became one of the leading members of that tody. He is one of our most ready and brilliant stump orators, and will make a lively canvass this Fall. Of course he will be elected, for we have 1,500 majority in this District, and I predict he will make his mark in the next Congress.

When the 30th of May convention at this place instructed for Johnson for Congress the Republicans who took part in the proceedings of that day said it was a piece of meaningless buncombe. They scouted the idea lhat Johnson would ever be nominated, or that he could exect the votes of Jiepufriican Reformers the other candidates say tbey were swin-

Co-F.ilucution.

At the recent meeting of the National Teachers' Association at Detroit the subject of sex in education was discussed at some length. A correspondent of the Indianapolis Jmrntil thus writes ol the discussion

There were three papers on this general subjeetentiiled "Sex in Edueat ion," "Four years in Yassar College," and "Co-Education of the Sexes in Universities," and these were followed by a general discussion.

Dr. Edward H.Clark, of Boston, presented the paper on the first named sub-, jcGj-.. The Doctor is the author of a little book of the same title published within the last year, which has created a great, commotion in educational circles. Nearly every leading paper in the country has had something to say about it, and not less than four,1 books have been published as answers to it. This paper was simply a restatement of the fundamental ideas of his book. They are in brief these: Men and women are essenti«lly difl'erent in many regards, both

colleges, i'rof. losmer, of

his own experience. He did not claim for the system as much as many of its advocates claim, neither did he concede the objections that many urged against it. He believed in co-education, but considered the financial argument the strongest in its favor—we can not afford two systems of high schools and colleges.

Quite a large number engaged in the discussion of the subject, and it was noticable that they were unanimous in favor of co-education. Two Professors from Ann Arbor spoke and testified to the entire success of the plan in Michigan State University. One speaker called attention to the fact that some years ago, when co-education was a new thing, the principal objection to it was on ''social" ground—it was argued that, young people, especially young ladies, could not be trusted in these relations, away from parental supervision. But the •'experiment" had been tried and proved a success, so that no person well informed on this subject now uses this argument at all. It was stated as a fact that could not be contradicted that mixed colleges were freer from scandals than any other class of institutions, and very much more so than the same number of young people selected at random from our best communities.

The second strong argument against co-education was, formerly, the intellectual inferiority of women. It was argued that they could not be admitted to our colleges without lowering the standard of scholarship. This argument has been almost wholly given up, and no one now uses it except now and then a person who has been unfortunate in his lady association. The fact that there is a difference in the cast ot mind of the two sexes was conceded by all, but that this difference was so great as to require essentially diflerent training in our high schools and colleges was sharply questioned and flatly denied. Dr. Clark has done a vast deal of good in calling attention to a very important physical law, and while but few question his statements of facts, only a few, who have studied the subject in the light of experience, admit his general conclusions.
