A REPORT from the Beecher investi-

per in the District to ear anvthingpraise-,

tion to be present at the Soldiers' Re-

union at Frankfort on the 4th of Sep-

tember. The boys up there say they in-

tend to make it the grandest meeting ^een

THIS is a great year for temperance. Not for many years has the cause had so many avowed advocates as it has now. Public meetings are being held in all parts of the State, characterized by the greatest enthusiasm. One of the most remarkable of the series of meetings of this kind was the three days camp meet-

ing at Battle Ground this week. The

attendancc on the second dav was esti-

mated at 15,000. .!

JAMES G. JOHNSON, the Democratic candidate for Representative, has not yet answerd the questions submitted to him a couple of weeks ago. We have no anxiety to know whether or not lie will vote for the repeal of the Baxter and County Superintendencv laws, but several Democrats have expressed an anxiety through the columns of the JOURNAL, and Mr. Johnson ought to live them an answer.

THE Tippecanoe railroad suit, involv- Journal of the 19th states that the Dising the title to that portion of the new La Fayette, Blooniingtou & Muncie Railroad west of La Fayette, goes to the Supreme Court for final decision. The Commissioners ot Tippecanoe couutyare trying to set aside the lease by which the road passed into the control of the Toledo, Wabash & Western Company. This is the case which was on the docket of our Circuit Court last Winter.

THE Indianapolis Journal is making it hot for Frank Landers, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Coburn's District. Mr. Landers was a member of the State Senate in 1863, and gave his support and sympathy to the disgraceful schemes resorted to by the Democrats to discourage enlistments and embarrass the work of the Union soldiers. This is the man whom some of the discontented Republicans of Marion county are supporting against Gen. Coburn.

THE following additional Congressional nominations have been made since our last report:

Wm. S. Hayinond, of White county, Democrat, in the 10th District. T. J. Cason, of Boone, Republican, in the 9th District.

Edmund Johnson, of Henry, Democrat, in the 6th District. John A. Baker, of Elkh.°rt, Republican, in the 13th District.

MOST people outside of Gen. Coburn's District are surprised that there should be any question as to his re-election to Congress. Gen. Coburn is one of the very best men that ever occupied a seat in the councils of the Nation, and if he should be defeated, the people of his District will be ashamed of themselves in a week after the election, and every body else in the State will be ashamed of them. Republicans who vote for Frank Landers against Gen. Coburn will be moved to do so by some other consideration thau the public welfare.

retically, but it or something else leads

them into a great deal of trouble with their nominations.' Either the oflice blunders upon some man who will not have it, as was the case in this county, or runs against the wrong man, necessitating a new convention, as was the case with Henderson and Mitchell on the State ticket. The question is now up if the Congressional convention in this District on the 11th didn't do the wrong thing when it sent the oflice after Hon. Arch I

Johnsou, of this county. The La Fayette

trict Central Committee was in session in that city on the previous day, inquiring into the record of Mr. Johnson. Of the result of this inquiry the Journal says:

Mr. Johnson satisfied the committee, we believe, in regard to his personal good character. He also attempted to explain away his war record, &e., though with what success and in what manner, we are not, of course, informed, as the session was a secret one. We presume the nature of his explanations will be made known in due time through the official channels of the People's Party, and that the public will also be informed whether those explanations are satisfactory. We have been of opinion from the fiist, and said, that personally Mr. Johnson was not especially objectionable but that he was a regular Sons-of-Liburty Democrat of the worst school during the war, is, we presume, susceptible of the clearest demonstration. If Mr. Johnson denied it to the committee, the fact should be made known, that an opporaunity of throwing some daylight on the question may be afforded. It will be well, too, for

Mr. Jonnson, if he bears certificates that he is competent for the position of Congressman.

The Journal is right in insisting that an opportunity should be allowed to throw some light on Mr. Johnson's war record. We have in our possession a little bit of evidence which we shall be glad to give to the public whenever anybody claims that he was anything else during the war than one of the kind of Democrats that resolved that "not another dollar or another soldier should be raised to prosecute this unholy war."

On the currency question he takes the ground that we needed more money, and that it was the duty of Congress to pro vide in some manner sufficient currency to keep all the industries of the country employed, and to stimulate the development of the natural resources of the country. With this end in view he introduced last Winter a resolution providing for the establishment of free banking on bonds bearing a low rate of interest.

million dollars. Under the decision of the Secretary of the Treasury there had already been paid out neatly §300,000, and to prevent its continuance a resolution was passed through Congress suspending further payments. It had been the intention of Congress to admit the importation of "fruit plants" free of duty, but some one in charge of the bill changed the comma, dropping it after the word plants, and placing it after the word fruit, so that it made fruit import-

e('

^ree instead of fruit plants, as intend-

?(1-

And as

immense quantities of fruit:

are constantly being imported, especially oranges, lemons and other tropical fruits, the government was about to lose the very large amount of revenue mentioned. They were told that this fearful blunder or crime would of itself defeat their revision that Congress would not take the word of any committee ever organized and allow it to revise and modify the tariff and revenue laws of the country. Notwithstanding these fearful prognostications and the great responsibility attached to the work, they completed it, condensed the general laws of the seventeen large volumes into one, and passed it through the House with a single amendment added to the action of the committee, and in the Senate it was passed, as reported, without the change of a word or letter.

In relation to Mr. Cason's action on other subjects of legislation, it may be stated that he voted for the repeal of the salary law increasing the members' salaries and for the lowest amount at any time proposed. He voted for the refunding and paying back into the treasury of the increase of salaries. He also voted to repeal the mileage of the members and for the allowance of actual expenses in traveling. The repeal of mileage and proper allowances with other reductions bring down the salariesof members to an amount below what it was before the increase was granted and the back pay bill passed. He also voted to repeal the increase of the President's salary, claiming that this was the worst part of the unpopular salary law.

In every case fie has voted in the interest of the strictest economy, for the reduction of offices in all cases where the question came up. In no cas-e did he vote for any railroad grant or subsidy of any kind, or for any special privilege or favors to any person. He has by his votes and earnest, active efforts done all he could to foster and protect the producing and laboring class of the country,
