Crawfordsville, Saturday, Nov. 14, 1874.

THE

new railroad time tables for the

Winter go into effect on the 15th.

Anorr sixty Grangers will hold seats in the next Legislature, and they were not elected as Independents either.

is said that Jeffries, the man who defeated Baxter for the Senate in Wayne county, is a one-armed soldier and a straight Republican.

Loi isi ANA is not Democratic yet. Ten counties are yet to be heard from, and the indications arc that the Republicans have elected the State ticket and three out of the six Congressmen.

THK

comments of the press on the

elections, published elsewhere in this paper, will be found both instructive and entertaining. If the newspapers don't tnow what beat the Republican party there is no way of finding out.

AccoRDlNt to the Danville I:man it costs $21,000 a year to keep the mud roads of Hendricks eouuty in repair, and then they are almost impassable half of the year. The evidence against our present road svsteni is overwhelming.

THK

result of the Lawson affair last

Saturday ought to be a good lesson to the public on the evil results of hasty opinion. There *ere hundreds of persons ready to condemn the accused for murder before there had been a panicle of evidence brought against him.

THE

THIS

of the thirty-seven

States have Democratic Governors, as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersev, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

JACKSN'YPEU

is a very ardent but

prudent Democrat. When asked the other day it he was present at tue jollification on Tuesday night he said he preferred to wait two years and if a Democrat was elected President and the Senate was made Democratic he could then rejoice in good spirits. Judging from the affair the other night there are plenty of Democrats who have feelings akin to Jack's.11 -.

special election in Knox county

for Representatives in the State Legislature resulted in the choice of a Democrat. This gives the Democrats a majority in the House and a majority of on joint ballot, over both Republicans and Independents. Some of the Independent will be as reliably Democratic as any members of the Legislature, so that it is safe to iis.sumc that the Democrats will have things their own way in boih brahches.

Congressional Disir et has been

numbered successively the 3d, 7th, Sth, 7th again ami 9th, and has had the following Representatives in Congress: John Test,Jthree terms Oliver H. Smith, one term Jonathan McC'arty, ons term Edward A. Haunegan, two terms Alberts White, two terms Tiirhlman A. Howard, ono term Henry S. Lane, two rms John Pettit, three terms Joseph E McDonald, one term Daniel Mace, three terms lames Wilson, two terms Godlove S. Ortli, four terms M. D. mson, one term, and T. .1. Cason two terms.

To the E'litoiCratijoi'ixville Journal I addiess myself to the citizens of Montgomery county, and more especially to those of Coal Creek township.

My heart is heavy and I have a burden to lay at your feet. I have lived with you a long time and labored earnestly for the salvation of the Republican party. I have tried to redeem the township from the control of the (as I thought) corrupt Deinocratic party. I have neyer been an aspirant for oflice, yet I was selected at one time by my Republican friends as a candidate for supervisor, and at the election some of my fellow Republicans refused to vote for me simply because I differed from them on the civil rights bill, and others because J-WHS in favor of the reciprocity-treaty. "'This deadened me, and since the election I have become satisfied "that the Republican party is the most corrupt party that ever existed.

I have determined to leave it and go over to my old enemy, the Democrats. I am not a candidate for office, never was and never expect to be. Yet if any of my Democratic friends want me elected to any effice I hope they will not be backward about letting me know. I am at their service. Respectfully,

Temperance Work' at Tliorutown.' To the Editors Craibfordtvillc Journal As your valuable paper is taken and much -appreciated in Ibis community, and is looked upon as favorable to the

temperance cause, 1 thought perhaps you would like to hear what we are doing for the irood work in this pltic-J. We have a well organized League, numbering some seventy members, hold our weekly meetings and have donned our armor, not to be laid aside until victory perches on our-banner, the banner of temperance.

On Thursday, the "th inst., our county

convention met at this place, under the

A couple of men from Indianapolis have rented a room and intend trying to start another mill in this place to aid in turning out grists of delirium tremens, pauperism and crime, but we j:ive thetn warning now that if they do open their doors their stay will he short, and their profits extremely small, for they and their den will not last long. The atmosphere of this place is fatal to all such nic-n and their callinir.

A Card.

7o the ICiHiors CrtitcjbrlsvtUt' Jam,ml Two landers were circulated against me during the late campaign, and are still flying about to my disgust.

First, that 1 was drunk when at New Ross, and also at Parkersburg. Second, that I donated §150 to a Mr. Dinneen of your city. My reasons for being a teetotaler are too sacred to hawk in public. I did many foolish things during the canvass, and do n.t pretend to be a saint, but I did not get drunk or touch a drop of anything that intoxicates. B-tter men than I drink whisky,

II.I

doubt, but

1 despise a hypocrite, and therefore would rather lose my ears than pretend to be a temperance man, and then turn round and get drunk. I do not kntjw John Dinneen but 1 will guarantee that he is a larger hearted man, and more of a gentleman, than the persons who have been circulating slander number two.

Were I known as well abroad as am at home, I would treat these stories with silent contempt, but I am both poor and obscure, and I do not intend that the tact that I ran lor Audi tori shall rub mv children of the only inheritance I shall probably ever be able to leave them— the legacy of a good name.

In conclusion let me say that both Mr. Watson and Mr. Reynolds are too much of gentlemen and too astute politicians to be guilty of any such low down dirt, and 1 clear them and their immediate iriends of any part or lot in it.

7*i Ci fV.cforttsri'tc ./on: A few monihsago, when the fever was on, a joint stock company, or something oi the kind, was organized, with a capital, stock of $100,000, for tlie purpose, it was said, of carrying on the temperance war. One small assessment was made for some purpose and this is the last that has been heard of the $100,000. Now the ques lion is. Was this $100,000 subscribed merely as a "bluff"" to the saloon keepers or was it subscribed for the purpose ot lurniuhing means, as was said at the time, to those who go forth to battle

The Women's Temperance Union has had an existence now for several months and of course it has had to incur considerable expense. Application has been made to the Treasurer of the $100,000 Association for a little aid but not a dollar will he furnish. If the women are to do the fisrhting the men should have the courage to furnish the "implements of war."

A WARRIOnivsS.

A Miser's Wealth.

iKnini tin Chioiigo

A most extraordinary case of miserly thrift has just been uneanhed in New York city through .the medium of a robbery. For many .years an old coin seller named Luther Bryant might have been seen standing at the iron fence surrounding the old North Dutch Church, at the corner of Fulton and William streets. Few persons imagined that the frugal o}d man, who took a simple breakfast and dinner at a restaurant on Chatham: street, possessed in his rooms at No. 1 Forsythe street a perfect mine of wealth and yet, concealed by padlocks, in old bureaus and boxes, and buried beneath the floor, were $75,000 in twenty dollar gold pieces, coins to the value of $12,000, $20,000 worth of postage stamps, thousands of dollars in [mutilated and other currency, valuable clocks, chromos and curiosities. The man's history teaches one lesson, viz that industry, economy and shrewdness will make money even in the simplest of ways, lie was born in 1801, in Berkshire county, Mass. studied medicine', and practiced in Burlington,. Vu, and Charleston, S. C. At the outbreak' of the war lie camc to New

York and .started business aa° described. The old man lived entirely alone, trusting by day ti His bars and bolts, and by night to a revolver aud a bowic knife. But the gathering of years has'vanished, and no trace of the missing treasure can be found. Having been arrested on a warrant for purchasing stolen stamp?, the

rooms were left for live entire days untenanted. During that time the thieves effected their entrance and successfully carried off their booty. It is probably the bigcest haul they have ever had,and, although it is a great loss to the old man, it is bin another proof that the money ot. a miser irenerally comes to little good
