lltKWfCaftt Hiii'inrl. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1877.

Petidleton and Garfield will hold a joint discussion or two in Ohio. October 3d has been iesignnUd f<»i the assembling of the New York Democratic State Convention. It is said that Senator Itrrrilin is even more hostile to the President’s policy than his colleague, Sun-struck Blaine. The confession of Tweed goes to show that many of the Republican State Senators of New York were a very purchasable commodity at the lime the “Bosa” was in his glory. Read articles on (irst page in relation to the Palmetto Plunderers, Sherman in New Orleans, and ex,Senator Doolittle on Specie Resumption. These articles will well repay a careful perusal. Radicalex-Treasurcr Hebei, of Cass county, is said to be a defaulter to the extent of $15,000. And the radical Treasurer of Hamilton county, too, is aUo a few tnousnad short. Wade Hampton made a neat and manly speech before the Rockford, llifnois, Agricultural Society. There was a little politics in it, but th n Hampton is one of the lew men who ran be warm a politician without being a narrow partizau. A farmer in Randolph county, 111, whose hogs were affected by cholera, gave them a tablespoonful of turpentine mixed in with each bucket of slop. His hogs allj recovered, and have been healthy ever since, he continuing to give them an occasional dose of turpentine. Certainly the r- - medy is very simple, and farmers eon afford to give it a trial. i. The United States Senate is now almost a tie in its political oomph xion. A Democratic Senator will be added to that body as a result of the* recent election in California. Soon the Democracy and the honest independent sentiment of the country will be in the ascendancy 7. “Let th<* people rejoice,” Radical fraud, corruption ard tyranny is passing away, and, like the plagues of Egypt, will serve as a warning to to future generations against being misled by designing ktaves and demagogues.

I-D. & C. RR.

At a meeting of the. citizens of -/nsppr county, hold at Rensselaer ou the afternoon of September 15th, in ‘lie interest of this Road, Horace E, (fames was called to preside and Ira W. Yeoman was chosen Secretary. The chairman stated the object of the meeting and Introduced the Hon. John Lee, President of the Railroad Cora--5 any, who entertained the audience with an eloquent historical and practical oration on the subject of transportation and the development of the •ountry bv sending the Iron Horse on liis track of steel through tho wilder ness and across the vast ex'ent of our western prairies. His address was well received and must have impress the assembly witli the truth of his propositions: that the people of Jasper county can not afford to let this opportunity to secure a Railroad pass by unheeded: that they owe it to themselves and to their children to invest a little in this enterprise that is so sure to return tenfold benefits to die people of the county who are now •.early isolated from the commercial world. Mr. Lee assures us tlint, if Jasper county can promise $75,000, to !, e paid after the Road fe built, we can see the cars running into Rensselaer i t ninety days!! We say.let them . Jine, and in order to bring them, let. du3 owners of lands put forth their xertions in that direction, being assured that every dollar invested in >his road will increase the value of ■heir lands double the amount invested.

Following Mr. Lee’s address, the enthusiastic Alfred McCoy, Director of. the Road for Jasper county, kept she audience in almost constant, applause for a half hour picturing the difference between the isolated condition of Jasper county noiv, ai d what it will be in a few months when the, Ron Steed shall come snorting and screaming over the prairies. Mac says the Road has got to bo built!— Some think he is crazy, but, without joking, we think it would be better for us all if we had a few more just juch crazy men—men with enterprise sufficient to hope to see the day when we can get to the outside world without dragging along fifteen or twenty long weary miles behind a slow hack team, through interminable sloughs •Mid mud—and not only hope to see it, but are willing to do a little work and invest a little money in order to bring it about. We say “bully for Mac.!” Get your steer in good order ft r die Barbecue! Hon. R. S. Dwiggins also made a thrilling speech in favor of the Road and closed by appealing to Mac. to show their faith by their works in subscribing stock to the same, when ’he two took seats at the secretary’s table for that purpose. Several other gentlemen thereupon came forward and a number of notes taken, the amounts of which we did not learn. We would say to our readers that McCoy and other gentlemen are now soliciting stock subscriptions in the shape of notes, payable—one-half v. hen the cars run into Rensselaer, and the other half when the road is finished through the county—and when fully paid, certificates of stock in the company will oe issued to tho makers, so that It is not a donation, ‘

but simply taking stock to be paid for when the Road is built. Let every property owner who has any interest in the welfare of Jasper ounty put forth his best endeavors to secure the prize.

Don’t Destroy Evidences of Surveys.

A great many persons are very careless about preserving evidences of surveys, who would be more fateful if they- only knew the important part that ovary mound, stake, witness or ' line tree plays in the location *f corners of lunus in the vicinity. We know of many instances of persons cutting down trees which they knew to be evidences of surveys, the loss of which evidence would cause the loss of a corner, and, perhaps the next surveying party several hours of extra trouble, and if the surveyor did not locate the corner in exactly the place it was before, or where it was thought to have been, the whole abuse would be heaped upon his devoted head, and he would be cussed and denounced as incompetent. There is perhaps not a class of persons who uie found fault with more tlmu surveyors; and it may seem strange to many that surveyors cannot. always arrive at the same point, arid that they so frequently change corners, when the fault is notso much with them as it is with the owners of the lands. The fact is, the surveyors of Jasper county have generally been competent, but still they are abused if they don’t place the corners to suit Dick, Tom and Harry’s each and several ideas as to where they ought to be, and that, too, where tin.re is the poorest kind of evidence to govern any one iu finding where they should be. *

A great deal of trouble and extra work may be avoided by every farmer taking heme with him the advice contained in the heading of this article. Indeed, great care should be taken to heed it The writer knows of an instance in Jaspe.i county, where one of the best of surveyors located a road three and a half miles in length some twenty years ago, upou which there has since been about $i()0(J worth of work done.—Three years ago it became necessary to find some corners along this road, wliqn, by the best evidence attainable at that time, it was found that the line upon which the road was located should be from three to fifteen rods from where it was aci tnaliy worked. As usual the second j surveyor was condemned for not | knowing h s business when a third J survey was ordered which ’confirmed No. 2. Tho probability is that the first survey was correct at the time, but some one had carelessly cut down two witness or bearing trees along the line, find there being no evidence as to when.’ they were originally, the second surveying party had td look | for further evidence which, when i found, forced a change of the whole j road. There are ateoies of instances of changes of roads arid Valuable "improvements w hich might, have been averted had the ovrnors and tenants

i of lands been more careful.

THE NEW SPRING & SUMMER STOCK OF DRY - mis Just Opened by LFEKDIG, CONSISTS OF Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be Hush or dull, business is at ebb or flow,' or money is plentiiul or scarce. No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Spring and Summei trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DUB, BILITY and PBICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States.
