Eagle. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. DECATUR, INDIANA. FRIDAT, ALGIST 20,1869.

THE WEWS. Marshal McMahon has been named as the new French minister of war. The English arc backing the Oxford crew three to one against the Harvard, on the international rowing match. The schooner Hornet was captured a short distance below’ Philadelphia, Tuesday, under the suspicion of being iu the interest of Cuban insurgents. Returns embracing ail but sev entj-sevcn collection districts show that .843,800,000 have been collected on distilled spirits, from all sources, during the year; 822,200,000, from tobacco; 85,600,000, from fermented liquors; 815,505,000, from internal revenue stamps.

STATE SEWS. One farmer in Spencer county has cut 300 tons of hay. Potatoes are beginning to rot in the eastern part of the state. Morgan the condemned murderer at Terre Haute, still refuses to receive reiigious advice. Parke county was visited by a violent hurricane on Wednesday. The oldest inhabitant says it did more harm than any storm for ’ many years previous. Rev. Thomas B Wood. A. M , late president of the Valparaiso, college,ls about to sail as missionary to Buenos Ayres. It is stated that Hon. D. W. Voorhees emphatically declines to allow the use of his name as a prospective candidate for governor. . The report of the city treasurer of Indianapolis for the year ending Maj' 4th, 1869, shows the re ecipts to have been $430,586 14 and the disbursements 8234,408 91, balance iu treasury, $196,178 23. The corner stone of .the new Tippecanoe county jail, at Lafayette, Edwin May, architect, was laid on Saturday afternoon last. The Lafayette ,Tou> nal says : “It is certainly to be a fine structure, and if any of the malcontents incarcerated therein ever break out they will earn their liberty.”

find the following in the New, York Times' interview with John Quincy Adams: “What is your opinion of the prospects of the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the Con stitution ?” I asked. “I think,” he replied. 6 that it will make but little difference whether it is adopted or not. It was inconsistent with the former portion of the Constitution, and is therefore invalid. If declared adopted, when the Democratic party comes into power, it will simply ignore it.’’ “Would the supreme court pronounce it invalid, because of the inconsistency ?” “Our supreme court is a farce. It has no independence. It is under coercion. It has forgotten the respect due it as a separate and corqual bnjnc’i of the government.” “Will not Mr. Chase be a candidate for the Democratic nomination ?” “Mr. Chase would undoubtedly like the nomination, but the SodAi will never consent to his having it. He is odious to the Southern Democ'acy, and can never secure their support. This I ascertained to my perfect satisfaction last year when I was in the South.”

The London Times Madrid correspondent utters the following in regard to Spain, in bis last , letter: “Spain cannot be in a worse Mate. A change must come, un less the rulers are prepared for revolution. The treasury is empty, and it is impossible to collect taxes, and there is popular discontent everywhere. Prim and his col leagues have no easy times ahead.” What it costa. The people of the United Slates arc plundered of twenty million of dollars a year by the tariff on coal, and of twenty-three million of dollars a year by the tariff on iron. Fortythrec millions of dollars a year thus goes straight from the pockets of hard-working people into the pockets of only these two classes of monopolists, and the Congressman who conspire to pass the laws which authorize the plundering.

Philadelphia, at the present time, contains somewhere about thirty tkousaad more houses than New York.

An Open Tetter. Resignation of Grnnt’H.DlHtrlot Attorney of Mississtgpi. G. Gordon Adams, United States attorney for the Southern district of Mississippi, and a prominent supporter of Dent for Governor of that state, forwarded the following letter of resignation to the proper authorities on last Tuesday : “Though the office is not one of much importance, I cannot retain it without being identified, to some extent, with an administration whose acts, so far as they relate to my own state, I cannot approve. Maj. Watford, an officer of the late rebel army, who, in defiance of the contumely and reproach heaped upon him by the southern people, supported, bravely and almost alone, in his district the reconstruction policy of congress, has been removed from oftlee. From the late approved published statement of your views. I am justified in the belief that this is done in accordance with the established policy of your administration. From the same source I learn your confidence in, and support of, Gen. .Ames —an officer who has degraded his position as military commander of the Fourth military district by exercising its functions solely in furtherance of his own personal and partisan ends, unhesitatingly avowing that he desired to use the high office of senator from my state as a stepping-stone to the appointment of brigadier general in the regular army, and whose whole course in this state has been marked by a tyrannical exercise of power, utterly antagonistic to the spirit of the reconstruction laws. As a resident of Mississippi, and one of the founders of the republican party in that state, though never a political aspirant, I would be false to my state, and to the republican principles which I have always maintained, if I longer retained the office which your kind preference has assigned inc.”

The Test-Oath Iniquity. A dispatch from Richmond, on yesterday, said that General Canby will, within a few days, issue a proclamation convening the legislature, and will apply the ironclad oath to members, and the seats of those who cannot take the oath will be given to the candidate who received thhe next highest vote. As to his right to exact the oath, a reference to some of the authorities who have had the rtiatter under consideration,, and have expressed opinions concerning it, will, probably, be sufficient to sat isfy candid man of the ruling party that such exaction cannot lawfully be made. The question came fairly before the country upon the organization of the state government of Georgia under the military bills, and General Grant instructed General Meade, then district commander of the state, that members of the legsilature could not be required to Lake the oath. The republican press did not then dissent from this opinion. The most prominent republican newspapers of the country, including the New York Tribune and the New York Times, have plainly said that the oath ought not to be exacted from the Virginia legislature. The democratic press has shown the illegality of the exaction, by frequent and conclusive arguments. We have, as authority, a decision by General Grant in a case precisely indentical, and which was universally accepted as correct, and the unanimous expression of the press of both parties. It is said that the matter has been submitted to Attorney Gen- ! eral Hoar, and, if the report be ' correct, General Canby will do no more than is required by common decency, to wait until the attorney general has given his opinion before such action as the Richmond dispatch says he now intends to take.

The extreme and malevolent partisanship of Hoar has already been shown in a manner which i leaves no doubt of his willingness ito give opinions on any question in accordance with the wishes of j the malignants in the cabinet, but ,in this case the president is on record against the exaction of the i oath, and it is probably that Scci retary Fish and Cox have sufficient aversion to unmitigated and palpaj ble vi'lainy to vote against the view which Canby has taken. The latter may be, and probably is, honest in his nonsensical fanaticism on the question, but he is unconsciously acting as the insirument of the Jacobin party in the ; state, and of its abettors in the cabinet, and the insolent and reckless demagogues in the ruling party of the north. We have called the exaction of the oath unmitigated and palpable villainly, because the facts and au | thorities we have cited show it to be unlawful. They are sufficient' warrant for saying that the con struct ion of the law by Canby is absurd, and if it Ik- cuforcecd, it

will be an act of such monstrous injustice that it cannot be too severelj' denounced. It will be an overriding of the will of the people, expressed in a fair election, by military despotism, in defiance of the plain terms of the law under which that despotism professes to act. It will be driving a lawfully chosen legislature from the saate capital by force, and the substitution therefor of vicious and ignorant men who are hateful to the people. We shall see whether the president will consent to eat his own words, and be snubbed by the malignants in his cabinet, in order to carry out a plot so iniquitous and infamous. It is a plot where by one of his brothers-in-law —Sharp by name, and, as it seems, sharp by nature and education in pursuing the foulest and meanest ways by which “moral “ideas” are fastened on the people—hopes to be elected United States senator. — Chicago Times August 16.

Nomination of Pendleton. The nomination of George W. Pendelton for governor of Ohio, by the democracy of that state, has stirred the bile of republican newspapers to an extent which relieves them somewhat from the monotonous stupidity which has characterized them since Grant went to Long Branch, and his cabinet went pleasure-hunting. Because Mr. Pendleton wanted to pay, the national debt according to its terms, and save the people $18,000,000 nearly in gold, which is now paid to the national banks for circulating a currency which the government ought to displace with its own, he is charged with advocating “a national villainy,” and the accusation is made in the leading republican newspapers in this city. -, Heappcard for the people and the tax payers against the bondholders, and exposed the infamy of the swindle which gives to the latter more than twice as much as belongs to them. It is a swindle so palpable that it could only be contemplated and carried out by a congress which has been bribed to the work by direct payment of money, or bj’ consideration of partisan advantage in which there was no element that was not corrupt to rottenness. In comparison with the enormity of this swindle, the most absi.r 1 and unjust provisions of our tariff’ laws arc trivial errors, not worth attention.

' He who says the five twenty bonds are not payable in treasury notes, or that there exists on the part of government any moral or lawful obligation to pay them in gold*, says that which is contradicted by the law under which the bonds were issued, aud byjthe facts attending their purchase. The bonds were bought, most of them, for less than fifty cents on the dollar, and the majority of the holders have now received, in interest, more than they paid. " In addition to this, to claim now that the government is bound in honor to pay them in gold is such an insult to common sense that it is inconceivable how a man of common sense, who respects truth, can make the statement. The expediency of currency redemption is one question, and the morality of it another. So far as the latter is concerned, it seems too us to plain for argument. Mr. Pendleton is called a Turveydrop. By this is meant that he does not get drunk, or swear or learn dancing in a crowded ballor associate with prize-fight-ers, horse-jockeys, and editors of newspapers devoted to the chronicling of the deeds of the turf and ring, and of cock fights. He does not appear like a boor. He talks like a man who respects himself, and is willing to treat others with respect if they deserve it. Had he the latest presidential accomplish ments, he would be much more acceptable to men of “moral ideas” engaged in the interests of “God and humanity.” Iu as much as he is in very truth a gentlemen and a scholar, a man of brains, an honest man, a faithful friend and generous opponent, and one who has so well sustained the financial views, for which he is assailed, that the republican party in several of the western states has adopted them, he does not commend himself to politiccans of the ruling party. In all this he is the opposite of their order.

The Galveston News is informed by Gen. Robertson that in bis practice as a physician he has taken pains to. keep a record of the vital statistics of Washington coun ty, Texas, and the result show? that while the white population has increased in the usual ratio, the negroes have diminished in number nearly ten per cent, per annum in the last four years. There are probably not less than one hundred colored men now in Rome preimring for the Catholic priesthood. The majority of them will become teachers of the freedmen of the South.

Gettysburg. Preparations for a Grand Reunion. Gettysburg, Pa., Aug.ls.—Free travel to all invited officers is se cured over the Gettysburg railroad, Hanover branch railroad, Pennsylvania railroad, Philadelphia and Reading railroad, Central railroad of New Jersey, and the Stonington steamboat line, with the railroad connections to Boston. Only one railroad remains, which obtained, would complete the connections from Gettysburg, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Until that grants free travel, officers will come via Philadelphia direct to Columbia, and thence by York to Hanover Junction. A gap of 23 miles only over which one may have to pay. The Gettysburg and Hanover branch railroad will pass officers on the production of the secretary’s invitation at the ticket offices. Other railroads will also be supplied with lists of those invited, to further facilitate the procuring of free tickets. Officers invited can apply to Edwin A. Lander, director c f the Gettysburg Battlefield Mem orial association, Dock street, Philadelphia, and to Col. John B. Bachelder, No.. 56 Beekrffwh street, or to military headquarters, Houston street, New York, who will aid in procuring tickets from the west, northwest, and southwest. Free travel is expected over the connecting with the Pennsylvania. The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago, the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and St. Louis roads, and Baltimore and Ohio road have not yet offered free travel, but excursion rates. Lists es southern officers will be sent to the Washington ticket office. Officers should in all cases j preserve and produce to the railroads the invitations from the secretary.

Advantage to Womem of Wearing Men’s Clothes. Not long since a young man was taken dangerously ill, here in New York, at night. He was alone with his sister, and she was obliged to go after twelve o’clock for a physician. She trembled at the thought, and her brother resolved again and again to bear the pain un til morning, but at last they felt she must go. The happy thought suggested itself to put on her brother’s clothes, and take his loaded pistol; the result was that she brought back the physician, aud he never knew, until he reached the house and she told him, that she was a woman. She said she had such feelings ol independence and safety as she passed man and women in the dark streets, that she immediately prepard a complete suit to wear whenever she sees fii. Thus armed and equipped, she takes evening walke, goes to church, the theatre, lectures, aud when in the country roams alone by day and by night. Unfortunaely the law forbids woman thus to protect herself.— Revolution.

A German Custom. A letter from Weimer §ays they have two very pretty customs there connected with the erection of houses. One is that ayoung child always drives the *lirst nail- into one of the timbers, and an inscription is made upon the wood bearing the name and age of the child date of erection, etc. Then when the house is raised, a few planks are laid for flooring in an upper story, when the master builder, his workmen, and all well disposed friends, assemble to sing a song of praise to God for the safe accomplishment thus far of their undertaking. Then a band of music plays, numerous bottles of wine are drank, and there arc speeches, toasts and huzzas from stentorian German throats Door-Step Parties.

An exchange chronicles with evident satisfaction the advent of a j new custom—evening door-step 1 parties. The name may be new, ; but thee custom is as ancient as : door-steps themselves. These lit- ■ tic accidental gatherings to discuss I the doings of the day have much to commend, them and should be prepettiated. The after-supper call, as at present conducted, is beset with formalities. With Its elaborate toilet unnatural attitudes, and meaningless compliments, it is usually a relief to both parties when one finally succeeds in backing the other out of doors. The fashion able soiree, too, is about as apt to repress as to encourage free, conversation. Each person, looking out at the other through an iron grating of etiquette, feels as isolated, say, as a prisoner in a “hostile.” If the company be companionable young ladies, so much the worse. One naturally exclaims, with the distracted suitor: *•0, I could be happy with either, Were t other dear charmer away,’’ Rut those little door step parties which line our streets these pleasant evenings, coming together without preparation, and saying things not set down in the etiquette book, are really enjoyable. It is there we go for a genuine sociable chat, ami depart feeling thankful we are non hermits. Long live the door step parties!

SPECIAL NOTICES., "an— lN THE YOUNG AND RISING generation, the vegetative power of life are strong, but in a few years how often the pallid hue, the lacklustre eye and emaciated form, and the impossibility oT application to mental effort, show its baneful influence. It / soon becomes evidence to the observer that some influence is checking the development of the body. Consumption is talked of, and perhaps the youth is removed from school and sent into the country. This is one of the worst movements. Removed from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing.scenes of the city, the powers of the body too much J enfeebled to give zest to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned in-'* E ward upon themselves. If the patient be a female, the approach of the mensesg is looked for with. 1 anxiety, as the first symptom in which Nature is to show her saving poster in diffusing the circulation and visiting the cheek with the bloom of health Alas! increaseof appetite has grown by what it fed on; energes of the system are pros'trated, and the whole economy is deranged. The beautiful and wonderful period in which body and mind undergo so fascinating a change from child to woman, is looked for in vain; the parent’s hearts bleed in anxiety, and fancies the grave but waiting for its victim. Helmbold’s Extrnctof Buchu, for Weak., ness arising from excesses of early indiscretion, attended with the following symptioms: Indisposition to Exertion,. Loss of I’ower, Loss of Memory, DifiTcul'ty of B-eathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, 'Trembling Dreadful Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulness, Dimness of Vision, Langour, Universal Lassitude of the Muscular System, Often Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symptions, Hot Hands, Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance and Eruptions of the Face, Pain in the Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids, Frequently Black Spots Flying before the Eyes, with Semporary Tuffusiou and Loss of Sight, want of Attention, Great Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror of Society, Nothing is more desirable to such patients than Solitude, and nothing they more dread, for Themselves; no Repose of Manner, on Earnestness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transition Lorn one question to another. These symptoms, if allowed to goon—which this Medicine invariably removes —soon-follow Loss of Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in one of which the patient may expire. During the Superintendence of Dr. Wilson at. the Bloomingdale Asylum this sad result occured te two patients: reason had for a time loft them, and both died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and about twenty years of age. Who can say that these excesses are not frequently followed by those direful diseases Insanity and Conisumption? The records of the Insane Asylums, and the melauchaly deaths by Consumption bear ample witness to the truth of thes£ assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. The countenance is actually sodden and quite dcstitue —neither Mirth or Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the voice occur. “With woeful measures wan Despair

The Great Medical Mistake Os former days was an utter neglect of sanitary precautions. No efficient means were adopted for the prevention of sickness. Sewerage was unknown in cities; drainage was rarely attempted in the country. Heaps of offal were left to rol in the public streets, and domestic clean? liness, the grext antidote to febrile diseases, was sadly neglected. It is not so now. Wise laws, philanthropic institutions, aid a vigilant sanitary police have, to a great extent remedied the evil. Nor is this all. Preventive Medication has helped materially to lessen the rates of mortality. It is not too much to say that tens of thousands escape sickness in unhealthy seasons in consequence of having invigorated their tyitem in ad vance by a course of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This pure and powerfnl vegetable tonic and alterative comprises Hie extracts and essences es a variety of roots and herbs, renowned for their strengthning, soothing, vitalizing and purifying properties. These medicinal agents are incorporated with a spirit absolutely free from the acrid poison which defiles, more or less, all the liquors of commerce, and their effect is diffused through the whole system by this active, yet harmless stimulant The re? suit is such a condition of the system as renders it all but impervious to the exterior causes of disease, such m damp, fog, sudden alternations of temperature, &c. Strpngth, and the perfect regularity of all the functions of the body, are the best safe-guards against atmospheric poison and the effects of unwholesome water, and HOSTETTER’S BITTERS are the best strengthning and regulating medicine at present known. For dyspepsia and billiousness they are a specific absolute.
