HAMKOKDOF this State

died at Denver, ColoraJo, on the 27th. He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1856 and became Governor by the death of Ashbel P. Willard, in the Fall of 1SG0.

THE Democrats of the, 11th Congressional District held their convention at Peru last Thursday and nominated Hon. Jonathan D. Cox, of Peru. His opponent is lion. Jas. L. Evans, of Hamilton county.

Two offices are now chasing Elder C. J. Bowles around over the country. The office of Secretary of Slate and that of Congressman from this District are the pursuers. Rut what office is seeking Hon. Arch Johnson now?

THE Terre Haute Express says it took three telegraph operators ten hours to write out the telegraph report of Moulton's statement as published in that paper. It also took eighteen men all night to put it in type. This statement will help to give the thoughtless reader an idea of the work it requires to make our largest daily papers.

THE Messenger is the name of anew pa|er just started at New Ross by F. B. Rose, publisher of all the Waveland and Jamestown papers. Ii heads its columns with the Reform ticket. The first number appeared last Thursday. Another number is to follow in two weeks, and after that it is proposed to issue the paper weekly. Frank Gill is the editor.

THE La Fayette Journal understands the question of the propriety of nominating a soldier candidate for Congress in this District will be brought up at the reunion at Frankfort on the 4tli of Sep tcinber. If it is decided to make such a nomination the Journal thinks the man who will get it lives in that city, and that he will make it lively for the other candidates. We presume it refers to Col. Billy Wilson.

REPORTS continue to come from Frankfort of preparations on a liberal scale for die soldiers' reunion on the 4th. The Frankfort Crescent thus speaks of the arrangements made for feeding the visitors:

Each family or group of families, just as they chose best, will spread a table on the grass, and a committee, ippoiuted for that purpose, will see that each family!' or group of families, will be provided, with a certain number of persons from a distance to feed. All will be done in order. "No one is to go away hungry, and no one need have any food to throw away.

THE Indianapolis News wants some advocate of the Democratic platform to tackle the following statement:

Taxable value of railroads under the old law, $7,024,204

taxable value_of

railroads under the present law, $89,270,752. The difference between the two is just $82,255,548, upon which the State tax is $48,383. That amount would have to be added to the taxes of other tax payers, if the new law did not take it off of the railroads.

THE Ohio Democracy, in their last State convention, resolved "that the Democratic party of Ohio adheres to its ancient principles of securing equal rights and exact justice to all men." The ancient methods of that party to secure equal rights and exact justice to all men consisted in keeping one class as the slaves of another class: Theirs was a species of "equality" and "justice" from which at least four millions of the population of this country will pray a long deliverance.

THE people of Parke county will certainly get a railroad direct to Indianapolis some day. Besides the old Indiana & Illinois Central road there are two new companies organized. One of these is the Indianapolis & Western, with which W. 51. Durham, of our city is connected. I The other was organized at Indianapolis the other day, and is called the Indianapolis & Springfield Railway Company.

John Lee, of this county, is President. The object of them all is to complete the road from Montezuma to Indianapolis.

THE "people" of the 9th Congressional District, a few weeks ago, arose in the majesty of their power and besought Hon. Archie^ Johnson, of tins county, to become their candidate for Congress. They were tired, as they asserted, of being governed by rings and cliques which they said usually made nominations in the corrupt old parties. But now comes forward a ring composed of a half dozen or so and says Archibald must give way to another fellow. Just how the thing was manipulated by this" clique" is a mysery to the people."

THE Frankfort Crescent, which claims credit in a sly way for nominating Hon. T. J. Cnson for Congress, thus speaks of him:

Hou. TV J. Cason was here last week on business, enjoying pretty fair health. From his bronzed appearance, since he came home from Washington he has evidently been farming. When he went to Washington, like a good, well-behaved, domestic gentleman, lie took his family, and since rents were so high there he bought a residence at a cost of $8,000, or a little more, and notwithstanding he kept house, paid no.rent, yet such are the expenses of living at,the Capital that he can barely live on his salary. We have said this much personally about him though the Republicans claim bim as their Representative, but we think he represents the entire people of the 9th District. As his constituents our readers are interested in Mr. (Jason and want to hear about him.

A RECENT examination of the records at Washington by Prof. Elliott develops the fact that we are living under the •most economical administration since the days of Jackson. Of course, we speak only of the ordinary expenses of the government, not including interest on the public debt, pensions and other unavoidable expenses growing out of the war. The table prepared by Prof. Elliott gives the expenses per head of population on this basis as follows, in gold Polk's administration S2 05 Taylor's and Filmore's 1 89 Pierce's 2 33

Buchanan's 2 23 Lincoln's (during the war) 16 00 Johnson's 2 20 Grant's 1 69

It is a common practice to denounce the corruption and extravagance of the present day, but the above table don't make a bad showing.

-THE LABORING POPULATION. In an address on "Laboring Men and Politics," delivered by P. S. Kennedy, our candidate for the Legislature, in 1860, appears the following plea for the laboring man. It sounds a good deal like some of the sensible Granger talk we have heard during the last year or so, though delivered long before the birth of the Granger organization:

Eveiy other class of men watch the political compass with unceasing vigilance, to see if the ship of State is drifting towards the goal of their ambition and when it is not, they work day and night to change it. The speculators and capitalists work, think and pay out money to influence legislation in their behalf. The laboring man is the only one who "goes it blind" and trusts to chance to keep the rewards of his toil equal, at least, to nature's demands for daily bread. It is apparent to all that labor in this country is not sufficiently rewarded, although better paid here than anywhere else under the sun. No man can support a family, rear and educate his children, on the proceeds of his Mbor alone. Is it not time, then, that laboring men should set their heads together to do something to increase the price of labor, and better tlVeir condition in life Is there anything wrong in such an attempt? I know that the class of then I have mentiofaed, who believe that the normal and natural condition of the lab6ring man, whether white or-black, is slavery and absolute dependence on the will of an ariptocracy, would cry out against any movement on the part of laboring men for the -Complete emancipation of labor. But let them do so. Nobody need be frightened at their epi-

thets. They know that where labor is respectable idleness is in disrepute, and they will, of course, oppose any movement that is calculated to bring their occupation into coutempt.

THE CBAWFOKDSVILLI: SATUKDAY EVENING JOURNAL.

History establishes nothing more conclusively than the fact that no free Nation can long survive where labor is not a sure road to competence and comfortable circunyitances and that government which neglects to bestow its first care on the laboring population is a dear bought protection to the lives and property of the people, even during the short period it may possibly survive. Where labor is not remunerative, the masses are sure to be in a state ot the: most abject poverty and ignorance, aud wholly unfit for selfjrovernment. In Egypt, in Palestine, in Greece, and in Rome, to-day, the wild vines climb the pillars and walls of ruined temples and human habitations only to survey the general desolation that has been left in the pathway of a degraded and unprotected laboring population, crushed to the earth by a merciless and unrestrained aristocracy of wealth, which could not itself survive the ruin it had brought on others.

ON

THE THREE PLATFORMS THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. The first State convention held this year was that known as the third party convention. On the subject of the liquor traffic it resolved as follows

Resolved, That, no party is worthy our confidence which denies the right ot the people to restrict the abuses of the liquor traffic.

The remarkable feature of this declaration is that the worst saloon keeper and the most fanatical temperance man in the State can meet upon it and shake hands in cordial support of it. It was evidently written by some demagogue that was being chased around the country by two or three important offices, and the purpose of it was to get the temperance vote in one locality and the whisky vote in another. There is nothing mauly or straightforward abohtit.

The next convention was that of the Republican party. It sent, out to the world the following declaration, which is, in every respect, in harmony with the character of the Republican party for moral courage

In the opinion of this convention intemperance is an evil against which society has the right to protect itself that our whole system of legislation throughout all the history of the State has asserted and maintained this right, and it can not now be surrendered without yielding up that fundamental principle of American government which places the power of passing laws in.the hands of a majority therefore, we are in favor of such legislation as will give a^majority of the people the right to determine for themselves, in their respective towns, townships or wards, whether the sale of intoxicating Iiquors for use as a beverage shall be permitted therein, and such as will hold the vender responsible for all damages resulting from such sales. ^This declaration is definite, easily understood, and proposes a specific measure.

The Democratic party, in State convention assembled, resolved as follows: That the act of February 27, 873» commonly known as the "Baxter bill,'' has proved a failure, and is in many re" spects of doubtful constitutionality, and is no more efficient in restraining the evils of intemperance than a judicious and well regulated license law therefore, we are in favor of a repeal of the Baxter bill and the enactment of such a license law as shall protect society and produce a large increase of the school fund.

The three platforms may be epitomized as follows: The RepubKcan platform sustains the main features of the Baxter law.

The Democratic platform favors the repeal of the Baxter law and the granting of license to all who will pay a fee therefor.

The position of the third party is that it would like to get the votes of both sides, aud don't care whether whisky is voted up or voted down., so au office succeeds in catching some or all of its nominees.

Livery.

Fortunately our town is unusually well supplied with livery. Cadwallader's old stand on Walnut street, always up to the demands of the public, has made extra good prcparatipns for the accomodation of customers this year. Beside securing a large number of elegant new buggies and carriages the proprietors have had the old ones repaired and repainted, and now have, on hand a full assortment of vehicles' of every kind, for the accomodation alike of business men and pleasure seekers. They also have as fine double and single teams as can be found in this part of the State.

Tlie Ladles' Bazar.

A fine large stock of •Millinery Goods always on hand, consisting of the latest style of hats, bonnets of the lattest patems and fashions, trimmings, laces, ribbons, sashes, neckties and ruches. Miss Hiatt sells these goods as cheap as they can be bought anywhere. 28tf The Sanil Creek Coal Company will fill all orders for their best lump coal in ca* loads at 10 cents per bushel delivered at L., C. & S. W. depot, provided orders accompanied by the cash are left this month with 33w3. I. C. EJ,8TON, Pres.

The Union Block Emporium Is not only becoming, but is already the most enterprising, popular and extensive grocery establishment in the city. This week they arc receiving another large invoice of groceries in addition to their already enormous stock. They now have every thing packed full, shelving and counters loaded down, goods piled on the floor under the counters everywhere. They have a nice choice invoice of tobacco and cigars, embracing almost every superior brand. A full supply of nice, fresh groceries and confectionaries, and their display of glass and dish wrae can't be surpassed. They trade in all kinds of produce." In short they deal extensively in everything in the grocery line, selling at such rates as to win the confidence of the people. They also have the neatest express in the city. \VIU.SON

Messrs. Doherty & McClelland, who, as is generally known, were in the main burned out recently, have made arrangements with the firm of Shaw & Co., the celebrated carriage manufacturers of Indianapolis, to supply them with all the work in this line needed, until they have had time to rebuild and again get in full motion. They have already received quite a number of these baggies, which can be seen at their sale rooms. They warrant all this work, just the same as though manufactured by themselves. 28tf
