TUt Journal takes exceptions to what The Democrat had to say about the Michigan City investigation of Warden Murdock, »nd quotes the Indianapolis Sentinel to th™ that the State saved SIO,OOO by the utlfistigation, and Gov. Porter as sayin o . hi. the Warden, was receiving three or four times as much in perquisites as his salary. Then says our statement was untru,? And the truth was withheld for fear it would hurt the party. _ Granted that all this talk about the saving of SIO,OOO is true and of the perquisites spokenof by Governor Por ter, yet The Democrat was right, for the investigation simply shows that the Warden took what the Republican directors gave him—nothing more. Hence we said and reiterate with emphasis; it was a triumph for the Warden and whatever of blame attaches is the exclusive property of the Republican directors, who made a bad bargin. One of the directors, Mr. Beson, in the Winchester Journal this week says, the Warden fattened with the offal 150 hogs which he sold for $1,500, whieh is probably the correct estimate. The Journal has only made an exhibition of himself as the ignorant ignoramus he is—nothing more. A Malicious Cowardly Act Sunday morning the north side of Dr. Hasting’s office, including windows and sign were found daubed with a coat of green paint. The cause of this malicious defacing of his office was doubtless to indicate their disapprobation of the Dr's, course in remonstrating against the application of sundry persons to obtain license to sell intoxicating liquors, and intimidate him in the future. It was a cowardly and malicious act, one that should be denounced in emphatic language by every man. woman and child in this community, who favors law, order and right between men. The authors were doubtless some besotted creature, we cannot call them men. who believed in the heroic treatment as against those who du not agree with them, and made the Dr. the mark of their displeasure. Our first view of the matter was to denounce the act with the most severe invective at our command, but we have eoncluded that such men deserve pity more than denunciation —pity that they are so ignorant and depraved, and have so low and ignorant conceptions of right and wrong as to permit themselves to commit an act so disgraceful to themselves and so humiliating to the community where they exist—we cannot say live.

We do not believe that the saloon keepers are guilty of the act or excitng it, for they have credit fer too 3t"~h good sense, but it is the result of the debasing influnces of drink on the part of some men who thought by that act to become the unknown and nameless heroes of an act that only ilWatrates their ignorance and malice. We believe the authors could be pointa*t. that it is not done here and

now is because, while we have no doubts in the case, the evidence is of that circumstantial kind that would not perhaps convict in a court of law, though it certainly would secure a moral conviction. If the act was committed to intimi date the Dr., they have mistaken their man. Ts it was to disgrace him in the eyes of the community it was a failure, for it is regarded as a persecution for conscience sake. The result will be that those who are engaged in selling intoxicating liqors will have to avoid violating the law if they would escape prosecution. Men who have heretofore never taken sides upon the question of temperance have been heard to declare that hereafter they would not be silent; that they have in the past known of violations of law but have kept silent; that they will not in the future. An old German farmer acknowledged that in the past he had frequently went home knowing he had drank more than he ought; that hereafter he intended to keep out of saloons; that we were go ing too far in Decatur. Testimony of this kind multiplies on every hand, but which it is unnecessary to enlarge upon. The moral is that saloon keepers should not forget that their business is chained down by the limitations of' the statutes, and that recent developments has aroused public sentiment, and that sentiment has awakened the sleeping sentinels. At a meeting of the Democratic Central Committee, held March 15th, the following delegates and alternates were appointed to represent Adams county at the judicial and representative convention, to be held at Decatur March 30th, 1882.

It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for preserving the hair. It restores, with ths gloss and freshness of youth, faded or guy, light, and ped hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By it* use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands arc not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable. The Viaoß cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseasei of tba acalp and ban are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The Vigor is incomparable. It is colorless, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet It is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Or. J. C. Ayer t Co,, Practical and Analytics*ChewMsts.
