E. Morrow, Committeeman. Democratic Congressional Committee. In pursuance to call the Democratic [Congressional Committee of the 11th District met in convention in Tibbitt s Hall, in Marion, on Wednesday, I eb. 22, 1882, for the purpose of selecting tthe time and place ol holding the Democratic Congressional nominating Iconvention. The convention was called to order by W. J. Hilligass, of Huntington, Chairman of the Committee, and John NV. Kern, of Kokomo, was chosen Secretary. , The roll of the counties being called, it was found that all were represented with the exception of Wabash, the member from that county being uni avoidably absent. On motion it was unanimously decided that the convention should be I held in Marion, Grant county. I After some little debate it was unanimously decided to hold the convention on Tuesday, June 20, 1882. It was also decided that the basis of representation should be one delegate for every 206 votes cast for John M . Shanklin for Secretary of State in 1880, and one vote for every fraction over 50, which entitles the various counties of the district to the following repre- , saticn: ' Counties. Vote. Delegates. Adams .... 2,242 11 Blackford 96" Grant.. 2,401 12 Howard 1,825 Huntington 2,615 . }•’ Jay 2,190 . ” Miami 8,048... 16 Wabash 2,361.. 12 Wells . 2,327 12 Total number of delegates 100 Several brief, but spirited and ringing speeches were made by various gentlemen present, after which the convention adjourned sine die. W. J. Hilligass, President. John W. Kebn, Secretary. The new five cent Garfield postage will be ready to issue about the first of March. Old Zach Taylor's "Vignette used to adorn the five cent stamp. The propriety of making the change is questionable.

The Huntington Democrat publishes a decision of the supreme court which decides there is no property in dogs. A tramp was indicted for the larceny of a dog, alleged to have been stolen of a citizen. The circuit court decideds it was no theft, and the decision has now been affirmed by the supreme court. The dog is a creature unknown to ths law, except to pay a special tax to make good his ravages upon sheep-folds. Some Republicans with the intellect of a wooden nutmeg, perhaps less about equivalent to the editor of the Journal, charged that Warden Mur dock of the penitentiary at Michigan City, was making a fortune out of the sale of the slops, offal and garbage, of the penitentiary. Governor Porter di rected an investigation, and as they were after the Warden's scalp, it is fair to conclude it was no whitewashing affair. It resulted in a triumph for the Warden. These fellows imagine every Democrat ss dishonest as ■themselves. Oscar Noe, charged with setting fire to the buildings at Warren, which destroyed several business rooms, among others the Warren Nev>i office, was recently tried at Marion, Ind. The trial resulting in a disagreement by the jury standing six and six. The dramatic denial by the young man at a religious meeting in Wells county, was convincing of his innocence to bis friends, but

did not wholly satisfy the jury. Should r a second trial result likewise, and he 1 go free, it should be the business of < hie life to hunt down the incendiary i and bring him to justice. Somebody set the buildings on fire, having a motive for so doing. This will constantly faee those who would solve the prob leni of bis guilt or his innocence, and unless the guilty be found out and puuished, though Noe escape unliarm ed. there will be a moral conviction teoua whieh no jury ears absolve him

So far there are but two Democrats .who aspire to the nomination for Congress in this Congressional district. Hon. Joseph S. Daily, of VV ells, and Hon. John L. Farrar, of Miami. They are both good representative men and either of them in the event of their nomination would get the hearty and cordial support of the party and party press of the district. ■♦♦♦ The Journal thinks Tennessee has disgraced herself in repudiating her indebtedness, ail of which may be true as well as the strictures it indulges in. If Tennessee wishes any help in the repudiation business, and wishes commendation therefor, all she has to do is to go through the process of Mahoneism. That would be justification for any wrong, so far as the Republican party is concerned. Dr. G. 11. McLin, a citizen of Huntington protested against the action of the City Marshal, and called the attention of the council to his direlection of duty, in one of the papers of that place. The Marshal horse whip ped the Doctor. A public meeting passed condemnatory resolutions, which resulted in charges against the officer, and will cause his removal from office in all probability The Democrat contains a lengthy and impartial statement of the affair. —,— The indictment against the star route conspirators is a f ormidable paper document, comprising six hundred pages of legal cap paper. If size was an i dication of earnestness upon the part of the government, it would indeed be a formidable legal document. This indictment doubtless was the origin of that troublesome conundrum proposed and now being discussed by the Republicans of this state, as to how they will carry Indiana in an “off year.” If Dorsey, the Secretary of the National Republican Committee, is convicted, they will have to go down rtrto their own pockets for the ‘‘soap’’ necessary, unless another Dorsey should arise and other methods for defrauding the govertment and the people be devised, by which the necessary corruption fund can be procured, and without which the Republican party cannot maintain itself in power.

Ex Senator Conkling, has been nominated by the president for the position of associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. According to Senator Edmunds, this is the “second prize in the lottery of assassination." So far as Arthur is concerned it is fit that he should thus honor his chief who made him vice- ; president, thus placing him in a po- ' sition where the presidency was in direct line prospeatively. Senator ' Conkling’s bitter strife with Garfield, giving him the benefit of all doubts, was the innocent cause of directing the assassin’s bullet at .the heart of Garfield, and elevating his chosen henchman to the presidency. If Conkling has one spark of that delicate sensibility that is supposed to exist in every right minded breast, he eannot accept the position, And should he signify his acceptance, the senate would do itself honor in refusing to confirm him. Waiving the objections indicated, so extreme a partisian as ex- j senator Conkling has always shown himself to be, renders bim unfit to perform the high, exalted and non- | partisian duties he would be called to ■ sit in judgement upon.

If they o: any of them should get s the small-pox, Phillips would crow him self to death. t Mrs. Ann Eliza Young lectured to a good large audience of our best and - most cultured people last Saturday ; night. The lecturer was worn out and i ■ fatigued from constant speaking, rendering it difficult fur her to articulate i with her usual ease and clearness, but good ord sr and an appreciative audience was a compensation, to herself and her t hearers for her indisposition She faeed the audience with a graceful I presence, with an expression half sad and i pleading; a face indicating a history graven upou it. whichcraved the sytnpi- ; thy of her hearers and which was at once generously accorded her. Her lecture was of course, Mormonism, but her plea was for her sisters unwillingly held in the bonds of polygamy. With , the present agitation upon the subject, ; ■ it was a question of absorbing interest, I • espeeially so, falling as it did from the I lips of a prominent personage in the history of an institution, an orgauizaj tion, a form of religion, that has no sympathizers outside of it* own member- -! ship, which is held together by virtue of the most arbitrary brutal, and des ; potic power known to western civiliza j' tion, and which is one of the foul blots I upon the escutcheon’ of our common ‘ country.
