FRIDAY, JULY 20. 1877.

The Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention will meet August Bth, I*7*7. The Republican Governors of Ohio and Wisconsin both decline nomiiia- J t.ion for re-election. Sign ificant! Six hundred superfluous people, mostly women, have been discharged from the printing bureau at Washing- ! ton. __ The Clerk of the National House of Representatives, we believe, places the Democratic majority in tliar. body nt 8. - _ Though repudiated by lowa, the banner Republican Sfate of the West, and cold-shouldered by New Hampshire, Hayes may console himself v.i;h the reflection that he has the » ndorseraent of Rhode Island. Grant’s late Navy Clerk, known ns | "Secretary Robeson,” recently held a j banquet—cost paid out of tin* steal- j ings—and Blaine attended, and was ' introduced by one of his lacqueys as the “mailed warrior,” and the Nashville American is so unkind a.s to inquire if it was Mulligan's mail {natter was meant —meaning them letters “our Jim” stole from Mulligan our readers Vj-ill remember In speaking of the indictment found against the returning hoard , rascals of Louisiana the, Journal says: ; “In the first place it shows that there ; is a class of democrats down there i "ho do not want peace nhd quiet.” They do not want perjurers and forgers to go unwhipt of justice, and if in punishing them those who got the stolen swag arc brought into unenviable notoriety so much the better. Perjury and forgery as well as treason must be made odious.” -Indianapolis Sentinel. The Louisiana Returning Board has been indicted in New Orleans for forgery and perjury, for their misdeeds in December lasr. They complain that this is a violation of faith, and that they were to have immunity as part of the adjustment which remitted the government of the State U> those legally chosen. There is ro truth in this. Immunity for mere political offenses was tacitly conceded, imt formed no special feature in the negotiations. Immunity for crime, fraud and perjury was never thought of-, and would not have been listened to. Let the ball go’on. The President seems to understand the situation pretty well. He said last week to a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial-. “There are men who are making a gr at' fuss about the Southern policy, when they don’t cure two cents wlmt the Southern policy is, so they got s nn iffiices to distribute. A Congressman, for instance, will promise a lot or local offices in his district in repayment for setting up a Convention and giving him a renomination. Under this vicious system we are likely to have indifferent Congressmen and bad Civil Service. The system works an evil both ways. Because I want to try to do something toward reformation in this particular, to divorce local politics Lorn Federal office-holding, there is an out-cry against the Southern policy from men who are ashamed to give the true grounds of their opposition to my Administration, for I am trying to carry out the Civil Service Reforms that we as Republicans have been promising so long. The Southerh policy is a fixed fact, and every day democrats declare it was the wisest course, all things considered, that could have been taken. Bui it is realty amusing to find this assailed by those who don’t really care anything about it, using it simply as a chunk to cover up their disgust for Civil Service Reform.”

The Rensselaer Union shows a difficulty there about the publication of the agricultural premium list, a seeming effort being made by the committee to deceive and wrong the Union and thus give the Sentinel the printiag.—Vidette. Thegentlemen composing the Board of Directors, Messrs. Geo. H. Brown, Wm. K. Parkison, Ira W. Yeoman, C. C. Starr, Norman Warner, Allen J. Yeoman, Charles Boroughs, Berry Paris, and David Nowles, me so well and favorably known, that Lhe showing of a “seeming effort,” on the part of the committee, “to deceive aud wrong the Union” has no weight. In this county, the showing of the Union is received as an exjxerted and appropriate display of disappointment and spite on the part of the consul, who foolishly imagines that he is entitled to and must receive special privileges and consideration. In this land of equal rights the masses do not entertain that idea, and it is about time Mr. James should /ease to cherish it.

“Justice” in the Laporte Chronicle says, speaking of Mr. Fraser, ex-post-master and applicant to be continued iu the office: “He (Fraser) was made the particular victim of the duplicity of our present member of Congress We do not forget that Major Calkins told Fraser aud others, af'er he had been to Washington and had an interview with the President, that he (Calk ns) had nothing whatever to dt with the appointment of posl-master at this city, and that, he was heartily glad to be relieved of the resj onsibility, and that Fraser would no doubt be entertained. We must not forgot that Calkins discouraged a number ol wor thy soldiers, and other aspirants, from making an effort before the I eople, Powell being the only man of them all that remained on the track. We will not forget that Calkins in the lae* of the above wrote to Washing-

ton when he sent Powell's petition ‘he should be glad to aid in the selection of a post master at Laporte.” He also afterwards wrote and recommended Powell very strongly fox the position, and secured his appointment regardless of the protests of our people.” And this is the man elected from this Congressional District over a gentleman of Dr. Huymond’s character, hour sty and ability. And the people of Jasper County, “do not forget” that Horace E. James aided in the election of Calkins after having taken part in the nomination of Haymond The Crown Point Star pays SSO for exclusive right to print the list of premiums for Lake county Agricultural Society, and both the Keg inter and Cosmos have consented that it be so. Vidette. That looks something like printing at “less than cost of the raw material.” Go for the Star, Bro. James. Gentlemen, usually, after having engaged in a newspaper follow the original text. Mr. James fails to do so when he attacks the personal character of Mr. Yeoman. Cornered, he can /reply to Mr. Yeo. man’s answer in no other way. In liis response to the feast tendered him in the attacks of the Laporte Herald upon the Laporte Chronicle, Mr. James displays the spirit of the “model man” as designated by the Valparaiso Vidette, but in his reply to Mr. Yeoman he exhibits the characteristics of the “mud-sucker.”

The Chicago Tribune says: “There is one thing by the way, that ex-Gov. Chamberlain forgot to mention in his Woodstock viz: That there have been no political murders in Louisiana and South Carolina since Packard and Chamberlain stepped aside, and that the negroes have not made any complaint of being maltreated or abused in any way. Can bo say as much for his own adminis tration ?

RENSSELAER, Ind., July 19th, 1877.

Editor Bentinil : In to-day’s “Union” appears a squib that indicates that Bro. James has “shot his wad.” Well, we are satisfied now, and we might-add that we are happy, because, you will observe, that the fire is withdrawn from the officers of the Society and directed toward me. And those “wads” are harmless, you know, when intended for an individual, and perhaps they are not dangerous when directed towards the Jasper county Agricultural and Mechanical Association. In the article above referred to he says, “Two things he (Yeonmn) seems to bo oblivious of.” “The first is, that half the energy devoted weekly to the duties of his official position would relieve the Secretary of the charge of inefficiency.” Well, there has no one made the charge except Bro. James, the truthfulness of which we are willing to submit to a “candid world.” Tha other thing be refers to is “experimenting with mixed beverages,” ‘ wrecking brilliant possil iiities” and scattering them along the shores “of a raging sea.”— Well, we know of no brilliant possibilities we ever had and scattered on cither side of the “briny deep.” We have been informed that Bro. James has had. and has now a few of t' ose possil ilities he had better watch or they may scatter; or, rather, are they not already'scattered, Horace? And did you not scatter a little when you penned the article? How about the motto of ths State of Kentucky?- “ United we stand; divided we fall.” Horace, this is acruel world. Don’t you “want to be an angel,” or County Clerk, or Deputy Auditor, or Postmaster, or, lust, but not least., a Consul'to the Guano Islands ? where yt u can ongags iu your favorite pastime of stirring up—well, tne great commercial product of the empire. Or, would you “rather be a dog and bay the moon?” Respectfully.

IRA W YEOMAN.

While Mr. Watterson, editor of the Courier-Journal, and Gen. Roger A. Pryor, two gallant ex-Confederates, "ore delivering memorial addresses on Thursday',in which they paid kihd and beautiful tributes to the valor and rectitude of the soldiers of both armies, advised oblivion of the animosity that existed during and since the war, and expressed the hope of a revival of good feeling between the sections. ex-Senator Boutwell, who was comfortable all through the war, was making a bloody-shirt speech, in which he exerted all his power to rekindle the hate which twelve years of peace have not been sufficient to appease. The addresses alluded to give a correct estimate of the feeling that actuate * the two political parties in the country.—Alexandria (Ya.)Gazette.

His Church Contribution.

Jodediah Simpkins, wealthy, of Holyoke, Massachusetts, a few weeks ago was moved to contribute u few strawberries to a festival of a Congregational church, of which he is a member. He was found in a neighbor’s garden very early in the morning of the day the festival was to be held, with a two quart pair, the bottom just covered. He arranged the matter by paying the owner $5 —the highest price paid for strawberries this season. The church lias yet to be arranged with.

Hayes’ Atonement.

Pittsburgh Po t. We have read in history somewhere, that one of theßorgias acquired power in Italy by means not more mfa sions, judged by the standard of the 'sth century, than were used to iystal Hayes in the 19th century. Firmly seated in power, it suited the Borgia’s convenience and interests to become reDentant, and »6 an atonement to tho Roman people he chopped off the heads of the chief advisers and captains of the condottierri who made his c >uj) de etut a success. The similarity between Mr. Hayes’ reform and tho Borgia’s repentance is palpable. It is of a kind with Artenaas Ward’s form of patriotism in suppressing the rebellion if it cost the life of every one of Ms wifa,s rcliflions. It Is t,hp cheapest sort of personal atonement or crime ever invented.

A Bear Repulses an Alligator.

[Florida Sun and Press.) A party of six gentlemen were taking a sail up McGirt’e creek on Sunday afternoon. While proceeding up the stream their attention was arrested by the spectacle of a black animal, which they took to be a hog, swim ming from one shore to the ether. Suddenly the serrated back of an alligator, who doubtless considered himself insulted by the invasion of his domain, was seeD cleaving the water in the direction of the intruder. As his ponderous jaws were about to close upon the victim, bruin raised one of his massive paws and bestowed a hearty thwack upon the skull of the saurian, which caused him to disappear beneath the surface. He soon emerged again, but the near approach of the boat prevented a renewal of the contest. The party were, unfortunately, unprovided with weapons of any description. One of them, seizing a plank lying in the boat, strnck the bear several blows, and another broke an oar over his head, but failed to prevent his rdaching the bank, up which he scrambled more frightened than injured. He was well grown, weighing probably two hundred and fifty pounds.

A Confederate's Kindness Remembered.

(Raleigh News.) J In one of the hotly contested fights in Virginia during the war, a Federal offiioer fell wounded in front of the Confederate breastworks. While lying there wounded ana crying piteously for water, a Confederate soldier (James Moore, of Burke county, N. C.) declared his intention of supplying him with drink. The bullets were filing thick from both sides, and Moure’s friends endeavoured to dissuade him, from such a hazardous enterprise. Despite remonstrance and danger, however, Mooie leaped the breastwork. canteen in hand, reached his wounded enemy and gave hin adrink. The Federal officer under a sense of gratitude for the timely service, took out his gold watch and offered it to his benefactor, but it was refused. The officer then asked the name of the man who had braved such danger to succor him, the name was given, and Moore returned unhurt to his position behind the embankment. They saw nothing more of each other. Moore was subsequently wounded and lost a limb in one of the engagements in Virginia, and returned to his home in Burke county. A few days ago he received a communication from the Federal soldier to whom he had given the “cup of cold water” on the occasion alluded to, anuouncing that he had settled on him the sum of SIO,OOO, to be paid in four equal annual instalments of $2,500 each. Investigation has established the fact that there is no mistake or deception in the matter. By different nations, every day of the week is set apart for public worship.—Sunday by the Christians, Monday by the Greeks, Tuesday by the Persians, Wednesday by the Assyrians, Thursday by the Egypt nins, Friday by the Turks and Saturday by the Jews. “Twenty thousand Democratic majority” is. old Ben Wade’s estimate of the result of the next election in Ohio. Some of his friends attempted to reason with him on the impolicy of such a prediction. “It’s no use,” retorted Ben, “there are to many ostriches In the Republican party alrealy.” The first locomotive ever seen west of the Fox river, Illinois, made its appearance on the Galena and Chicago railroad on the 12th of July, 1851. Who can tell how many miles of railroad have been put in operation, west of Fox river since tneu? Dr. Franklin used to say that rich widows were the only article of sec-ond-hand goods that always sold at prime cost.

The Great New York Circus is coming—will be in Rensselaor, Tuesday, Aug. 7, 1877. Some of our exchanges we notice speak in high terms of the performances of this troupe. The able and valuable letter of Judge Jere Black, contained on the first page of the Sentinel of last week, Is well worthy a careful perusal. Those who have not read it should not fail to do so, H. V. Reed, of Plymouth. Ind., will preach at the Church of God, in Rensselaer, Ind., on Sunday, July 29th, 1877, at 10$ o’clock, a. m., and will lecture at the same place at 7$ p. m. of same day on the “Eastern” question considered in the light of prophecy. Parties who have written for Premium Lists of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Jasper county, have been supplied, including Messrs. Orndorff & Wiraer, who wrote to Mr. James for a copy, and to whom in reply. Horace poured out the bitter griefs of his soul. A notice will be found in the legal coiumn of tho filling of the report of the viewers appointed by the Commissioners at. the June term on the Fisher Ditch in Marion Township, under the provisions of the ditching law of 1875. It occurs to us that a very large portion of Jasper county, might be beuegtted by such prbceediugs, and that the advantages offered by this law should induce the filing of many such iietitrons. We notice that neighboring counties are doihg a large quantity of work under the same kind of proceedings, and are informed. that there are nearly forty petitions pending in Pulaski county

Grant and Hayes.

Baltimore Gazette. Mr. Hayes is receiving much attention and talking platitude in New England. Grant is receiving much attention and talking platitude in Old England. In both cases the purpose is the manufacture of “sentiment,” or the making of political capital, and in both it is doomed to certain fuilure. Grant has at least this one advant age— such as he is he is genuine. He is not a fraud. He never made any pretence to any elevation of character, but openly and barefacedly kept Treasury plunderers, jobbers, thieves and Knaves about him, and protected them in their rascality to the last. But Mr. Hayes stands in even worse position. The pumped-up enthusiasm in Boston amounts to very little, for underneath the forms and shows of respect, every sensible man and woman in New England looks upon him as a fraud. George Francis Train lectured ia Rochester recently, and declared that there would be 3,000,000 people only in heaven, and all the rest in the other place. With the majority were Byron and Franklin, “and I want to be able to grasp their extended hands,” he said, “if I have to go to hell to do it—and, by the way, all in favor of going to hell with me, say ‘aye.’” The audience all shouted “aye,” together. It really seems easy enough for a skillful exhorter to get recruits for either place.

No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods t FOll THE Spring and Summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DURABILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States.
