The Directors of the Jasper county Agricultural and Mechanical Associa (ion are hereby notified that the time for holding the next meeting has been changed from Sept. Ist to August 25th, 1877, for the reason that the time first fixed upon conflicted with the time fixed one year ago by the citizens of Jasper and adjoining counties for holding the “Old Settiers’ ” annual meeting, which was Sept. Ist, 1877. IRA W. YEOMAN, Sec’y Jasper Co. A. & M. A.

OLD SETTLERS’ MEETING.

The third annual re-union of the early settlers of Jasper, Benton ami Newton counties will be held in the grove north of Jared Benjamin’s house, in Jasper county, four miles west of Rensselaer, Saturday, Sep tember Ist, 1877. All the old settlers of the counties named above, ami everybody else are invited to attend. Some of the best speake rs in the state will be present and deliver addresses. A good band of music will be in attendance. Come one and all and have a good sociable tiim*, talking over early hardships and pleasures, and comparing the present lime with that forty years ago. AU newspapers in Jasper, Benton and Newton counties art; respectfully askek to publish a notice of this mee.ing. Committee. The Indianapolis Herald, a Republican paper, says : “Judge West, the Republican candidate for governor in Ohio, accepted the nomination in a speech which was remarkable for its flat advocacy of communism. In this connection it might not be improper or untruthful to say, in the slang cl the times, that if he does not get out a counter irritant for these petroleum sentiments, he will be “knocked h—ll West and crooked,” and don’t you forget it.”

Judge K<?lley, radical M. C., from Philadelphia, recently wrote to a friend and quoted a prediction made in a former letter in which he declared that the Sherman contraction and resumption policy would result in the outbreak that has just lately occurred. He takes occasion to predict ugaity that if the policy is persevered in, before the time fixed for resumption is reached, such a state of things will occur and exist, as is beyond the power of pen or tongue to describe before which the recent troubles will pale to nothingness.

The Indianapolis. Delphi and Chicago Railroad.

President Lee is in the city in the interest of the road. He has just re-i-overed from a severe illness, and by reason only of his inability to attend to business has the entering upon the. work been delayed. He will close the agreement with the contractors, and work will be begun at once. The present tloubles may possibly have a dampening effect upon the c attractors, but such a result is not apprehended, as the funds under Mr. L .e’s control are ample to meet every possible contingency.— Delphi Times.

Senator McDonald remarked to an n ter viewer recently that "Morton and Blaine are tunning a race to see which man is to be the champion of a “solid” north as against a “solid” south. It is a mere trick.” With reference to the policy of the administration he said, “Oh, it. suits me well enough. Gov. Hayes will try to do the right thing, I believe. Has done it in many instances. Morton, I believe, apologized for this ‘unfortunate’ state of affairs by saying that the conciliation policy of Gov Hayes was forced upon him by the Democratic party. By that lie meant that unless Gov. Hayes did certain things there would be a civil com mo, ion.— That’s all nonsense and clap-trap. These radicals like to prate about, the oppressed condition of the voters of the south as though they really believed what they are saying. They say that in Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina the majority are held check by the minority. That is to say that because they don’t get an overwhelming negro vote they indulge in the assumption that the negroes are terrorized over and not permitted to vote at all. This is all based upon the assumption that the negroes must of course vote the republican ticket. A wholesale assumption for which the authority isn’t very clear.” He says the Presidential question is settled, but that it is most certain the question as |to the way the electoral vote of Louisiana was cast for Hayes will come up. That there will be a great deal of light on that subject, and it will be put plainly before the people—placed in so clearly defined a light, and in such specific form that there shall be no doubt of it hereafter. He conclnded his remarks by adding that Gov. Hayes hud no more right to the electoral vote of LouisiDAt han he had to that of Kentucky.

Chic go Timer. M’DONALD OF INDIANA.

United States Senator Joseph McDonald, of Indiana is In town, and stopping at the Grand Pacific for a fewfdays. He says that he had enough confidence In the State of Indiana to feel certain that she’d stay where he left her for a short time, so he run up here to do a little cheerful business in the United States Courts in the way of foreclosing a few mortgages on railroads. Talking of rrilroads brought up the labor questions, the riots, and mutters incident thereto. “Do you think THE LABOR QUESTION

will cut a big figure in the elections, senator? asked a Times reporter. “It certainly will. It will cut a big figure in the elections, and will no doubt be forced onCongres®. At any rate the railroad question will.— That’s certain. The fact is that we are at present suffering under a railroad syst in that is anomalous. It is peculiar to the country and peculiar because of our intricate state and federal relations. You see a railroad corporation is made by a state, and the rights which it as a corporation enjoys or the privileges it can commanfi extend only to the limits of the particular state from which it derives its corporate existence. Thus there is no uniformity about laws applying to a railroad which we will say, is a through line ami w hich extends across several states. Take, for instance, from here to New York. A line runs through five different states or local jurisdictions. The railroad law of each state is peculiar to itself. There may not be much difference . in most of them, perhaps, but that isn’t the point. What is needed and what must be secured is a law which shall insure the transportation of freight« ami passengers from one point to another with absolute er reasonable ♦certainty. As matters are at present there is always the inevitable conflict between the interests of the traveling and transporting public at large, the particular interests of the road and the local interests. ‘Then the railroad companies foster a class of employes that are very often iurehiss of local interests even when not actually inimical to them. They feel chut they belong to the Baltimore and Ohio, or the Michigan Central, or to such and such a line as a whole. They identify themselves and their interests with the line and not with the interests of the localities through which the line may run.— Thus there very often arises local irritations which need but the merest excuse to develop into serious difficulties. - These difficulties work injury to the interests of general travel and general transportation of freight, and of course indirectly the locality of the trouble suffers also in time. The system of railroad combinations has given to us direct travel and direct transportation from one part of the country to another. Thus the several corporations have really outgrown the limits of ‘he states from which they derived their existence in the first instance. Their lines and the lines through which through combinations are effected, go far beyond state control and state supervision.” “Where is THE GENERAL SUPERVISION

to come then?" “From the national government, clearly. The national government 3-ould exercise a general supervision over the through traffic on railroads. This supervision need not be extreme, ft should be equal to and in fact the > same as the federal p dice power over ' navigable rivers. That and nothing ' more would be sufficient to insure the ' pert nuance of contracts on the part of the railroad companies and on the j contrary protect the legal rights of j the toads from the violence of the , people. Something of this sort must | be done and although it is not an ea- , sy problem to elucidate by any means, yet it will be forced upon the atten- ■ tion of congress at an early day. The railroads are the highways "of the country; the companies’common carriers. There are principles involved in the matter which are above the elements of ordinary contracts. If a passenger behaves himself and pays his fare a railroad company has got I tc carry him whether they like to or ' not. lliey are common carriers and ! their lines now constitute the broad highways of the country. An illustration in point: A man who ships a car of wheat through by rail to the the eastern seaboard Ims not, under the present condition of affairs, any reasonable surety of its getting 1 here. i It may go through Illinois and Indiana and be stopped in Ohio, or thro* ! Minnesota and be stopped in Illinois, and all this purely owing to local caus“s. Now, on the other hand, if a man ships a barge of wheat down the Mississippi river he has protection of the i police power of the federal f overn- • meat, ami it is so effective that his I wheat will go for a certainty. Rail I road lines have outgrown mere eori porate limits and having becomepubi lie necessities their operation shouli jj>e intelligently guarded by sound i general public laws. Now if it was a crime against United States law to stop a train in Ohio, and also to stop a train in Indiana, or in Illinois, and so on from ocean to ocean, through transit would be assured, because the class of people that railroad cornpanies create are general and not local iin their iustinete. They respect Uni- | ted States law a great deal more than ; state law in this particular matter of ] railroads.”

THE MEXICAN WAR.

Reminiscences of Gen. Shields. The following are among the anec- ! dotes and incidents recently related j by Gen. Shields, at Lockport, N. Y.: CEHKO GORDO. i Previous to the brilliant American i victory at Cerro Gordo, the engineers both of the attacking and defending armies hud carefully surveyed the highest of the emiuencts that bristle I about the place, and had reported it inaccessible. It overlooked the whole | Mexican army, bu : the Mexicans were ! confident that it couid not be occupied, and the same belief prevailed l in the American camp. The night before the assault was a very dark one. Shields was in his tent, when toward midnight a number of solj diets of his command came to him j and asked permission to put a six- ■ pound gun on the top of this ciiff. “1 was astonished. ‘Don,r you I know,’ I asked, 'that the engineers say that it can’t be climbed?—to say nothing about putting cannon up there.’ They insisted, however, that they should like to try it. 'Try, it, then.’boys,’ I said ; ‘no harm will be ; done, even if you fail.’ They went i away, and in two hours they were back again with the amazing news that they had actually a 6-pounder in position on the summit of that almost perpendicular height. “And it you’ll consent, sir,’said one of them, we’ll put a 12 pounder there too.’

“ ‘Go ahead,’ I replied. ‘I believe you can do anything now.’ And long before daylight they reported that the 12-pounder was up there beside the 6-pot.nder ready to open or the Mexcans in the morning. I thought the news too good to be kept so I went to General Twiggs’ tent and roused him up. He heard my story, and loaded at me as though he did not believe ft word of it. “ ‘Do you mean to tell me,’ he exclaimed, ‘that those fellows of yours have hauled a 12-pounder and a - pounder up to L.e top of that height?’ “ ‘Yes, sir; and what do you think of that?” “ ‘I think there are two pieces of artillery lost to the United States; for there are nor, men enough in the army to get them down again.’ “But these two pieces did excellent service against the astonished Mexicans that day, and they were got down again afterward.

AN INCIDENT. General Santa Anna was in command of the Mexicans at Cerro Gordo. He was utterly defeated and compelled to retreat, with heavy losses in prisoners, material, and killer! and wounded. Shields was dangerously wounded in the fight, and of course left behind at Jalapa. When he became convalescent he was informed that a lady living opposite the house where he lay had been very kind and attentive, and had been of much help to his attendants As soon as he was allowed to walk out he went to thank her, when he learned to bis surprise she was a daughter of Santa Anna. In the course of the conversation that followed, he remarked: "But did you know who it was that you were administering to all this time?” “Not at first,” she replied. “I discovered after a time that you were General Shields, who I bad heard was killed. ” “Perhaps, had you known at the first that I was one who had a large share in defeating your father, you would not have relieved me?” She drew herself up with the air of an old Castilian, and said: “Sir, had you with your own hand 'killed my father in fair fight—in fair fight—l "would have done for you in your extremity just as much as I now have.” And she iooKed it as well as she spoke it.

Michigan City Scandal.

Referring to the Michigan City scandal the Laporte Argus says; As Senator Winterbotham is a man of wealth and high social position, as well as a Demociat of large influence in this part of the State, the columns of the lletorm Journal offered the shyster politicians, who desired to accomplish his political downfall and cared not what means were used to accomplish that end, an opportunity to vent their spleen by inventing every possible mode of attack and placing it at the disposal of the unscrupulous conductors of the paper. The joint desire to extort money from and to accomplish Senator Winterbotham’s political downfall may be considered the real groundwork of the attacks on him. The attacks on his business and political conduct created no considerable attention tor the animus of the attacking parties was generally ni derstuod. The conspirators then thought to injure the Senator by adroitly working up and connecting his name with a scandal that they thought would disturb his family reirtions and materially injure his political and s cial standing. To this end they used a Mrs. Goodwin, a woman of notoriously disreputable character and who freely admits that she is a prostitute and a blackmailer. She lived in McCartney’s house and seems to have been used as a tool to accomplish the purpose of all the parties who were fighting Winterbotham. The wretch was not content to lend herself to such base ends but tried to drag with her a virtuous tho’ unfortunate woman, who by reason of sickness was obliged to remain at Goodwin’s house until her approaching codfinement. The Senator’s association with the lady’ was entirely honorable and charitable, and was done at the request of herself and her husband, who was in his employ. The above is only a brief statement of the case as it really is, and the affidavits now on file and evidence easily attainable will abundantly establish what we have said. Back of the whole of this matter is plainly seen the devilish ingenuity, the baseness and damnable duplicity of a few political adventurers, some of whom pr tend to high personal and professional character. With these men the end is not yet. In due time they will be thoroughly exposed and shown up in a manner that will open the eyes of the public.

A prisoner for life in the penitentiary, located at Michigan City, has served nine and a half years, during which time he has made 19,312 large lard tierce. His task was 17*000 for the State, leaving 2,312 tierce over his task, for which he received 18 cents each as an average, securing to him for overwork $416 16. One hundred and twenty of these tierce make a car load, and this 19,312 tierce would fill a train of 260 cars, and require about four engines to draw them. The State contracted these men at 50 cents per day, and all earned over this amount was credited to the prisoner on the books.

No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Spring and Summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained tortile 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 iu the United States.
