Mr. HeadricKs met with a ha hi iso mu feception, at Indianapolis, on his ret <ru from Europe. Now we look to the Democracy of our old Keystone State to duplicate tliarreSull 1n Ohio. The President, on Wednesday, sent to the Senate the nomination of Hou. John M. Harlan, of Kentnexy, to be Associate Justice of ihe United States Supreme Court. J. M. Binkley, assistant. AttorneyGeneral of the United States under I resident Johnson, and who resided in Milwaukee for a year and a half past, mysteriously disappeared a few • lays ago. His mental condition for several days had axcited some appro Pension. Hon. D. F. Skinner, of Valparaiso, i- being brought forward by a number ft our Democratic exchanges as a •'■indidate before our next State Con■nticn for Treasurer or State. He i a gentleman of fine abi itiosand exp •lienee, and would till the position creditably. Congress met in extra sassion. at Washington, on Monday fast. ExI'.peaker Randall, of Pennsylvania, was re elected Speaker. Mr. Clymer oTered a resolution electing as clerk, ticorgo M. Adams,'of Kentucky; scr-imant-at-arms, John G.

‘lt. does appear as if there was a very small amour t of negro shooting i : n the South this se?son.—Delphi i News. | Yes the carpet-baggers, ex-officials, "fit out” when they failed to retain die support of the federal bayonets, and the “outrage mills” suddenly '•■cased to grind. It is amusing to I note with what earnestness these same | ‘•carpet-baggers” now declare they ■ .ne not, and never were, residents of •the respective localities they are, by I inquisitions, requested to visit. The Democrats in Washington City h dd a jollification over the Ohl > eleelion, on last Saturday night, at which, according to a New Yoik Tribune re- ; porter, speeches were made which : created a marxed sensation at the • Capital. Congressman BlaeKburn. of j KentncKy, said that “the seal of eon- ! demnation had been set on Hayes,” I and that “he cannot even appeal to Ids own neighbors for a vindication of his conduct.” Then, pointing to the white house, he said : “There is ;i man who has my profoundest. sympapathy; a man who has read his doom in the Ohio verdict, as Belshazzar rend his doom in words of fire. Ohio Ims condemned the usurper in the I white house. The republican party , ■ tands to-dav pilloried in history ai tlie friend of classes, the opponent of the many, the persecutor of the pow- . erless, engaged in class legislation 1 from its cradle to the grave to which I the honest and patriotic people have consigned it.” Representative Rice said that the result in Ohio meant that “the seal of I condemnation is placed on that great- 1 est conspiracy and fraud which made j a man.president who was not elected I •’d- by the people; the people have condemned this crime, which can not j be atoned for.” Ex-Representative FranK Hurd de- • »dared that “the voice of Ohio eon- [ damns the title of Hayes; the Demo-J crats have declared that Hayes is an usurper; by stealth corruption and dishonesty the usurpation has been accomplished, and his title, condemned in Ohio, will be condemned all over 'he land where the honest and uncor- 1 itupt tncn vote.” The radical party do not care to hear the returning board rascalities alluded to, nor the title of their bogus president questioned in any manner, ami to do so seems sufficient to- “create a inaiKed sensation.”

The Railroad—Its Present Status and Future Prospects.

The contract for the building of the I. D. & C. Railroad has been awarded tn Mr. S. N. Yeoman and the Mi-ssrs.-Heglers,. of Washington, Ohio,, gentlemen of unquestioned integrity and ability to build the road. They are new ready to commence the woi’K and are only waiting the order from the 1 lesident to commence operations. But Mr. Lee, being a- ? careful and prudent railroad builder'dues not desire that woi'K shall commence until everything is in readiness, lie dors not. want to-see another failure, and does not intend that it shall occur. He has Cherefore called a meeting"of the Board of Directors at Alonticello tomorrow to determine whether w’oik shall commence at once, or whether it shall be deferred until Jasper couniy puts her subsidies in shape to meet the requirement es the contract, which rs that $50,000 shall be secured to the Company to be paid when a train of cars runs into Ronsselaer This proposition, which is the most reasonable, and the best that our people have ever had from parties who are able and|wllllng to build the road, ought to be compiled with at once, and without delay. A large portion of this is secured—only a few thousands facKing. Every one who feels an interest in Rensselaer, or Jasper cotint k v, should; come to the front nt once, and do all he is able to do to secure to us this long loone ’ for and much weeded road- It is to be hoped that .the Board of Directors will fall on Sjme olan' to-inorrovy Io sffipt the

woi'K, and that our citizens will stand in with our Director, Mr. McCoy, and Presid -nt Lee in their earnest efforts to secure at the earliest possible-day this inestimable prize, which is destined to revolutionize th<*whole ppmj mcrcial relations of the people of Jasper county. Many of pur citizens have done their full duty 11 this ter. Some, we are soiry to say, aie still holding bacK. It is to oe hoped that they will see the importance of prompt and efficient action in the premises. Now is the accepted time, and if the road is not s’curad at an early day the fault will rest with the people. Ata railroad meeting this evening about $4,000 was secured, leaving $6,000 to be provided to muKC up Jasper county’s $50,000. President Lee assures us that if the balance is arranged for soon the cars shall be running into Rensselaer by the Ist of January, 1878. Up, then, and to. work ! Niles G. Parker, cr.rpet-bagger exState Treasurer of South Carolina, was arrested on the 12th in Jersey City and lodged in the county jail, on a r< qiiislilon from Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, charging him with plundering the State. He expressed a desire to turn state’s evidence. lie has resided in Jersey City for two years past. These are the mon who wera kept in place by federal bayonets. [For the Sentinel] October 12th, 1877. Mn. Editor; Ther • was a meeting of citizens at Sage School House last evening to consider the financialcondition of the country, and so far as they could, seek measures of relief. Mi. Geo. Majors, Mr. Put aud S. W Ritchey addressed Hie meeting, whijh was attentive and earnest, seeming to be all of one mind on this question though composed of persons of alj political parties in the hist canvass. After the speaking a petition was presented calling for the immediate repeal of the ■'Resumption Act,” the “Rcmonetizat on of Silver,” the winding up of lhe U. N. Banks, with a sufficient issue of greenbacks to transact the business of the country.— Foity nine men—every voter, perhaps, in the house—walked forward aid put their names to the petition, Other meetings were appointed in different school-housesjf or the same purpose. All the names that can be got in the Township (Jordon) will be attached to the same paper, and sent up to Congress at an early day of the approachiijg"session. We hope other townships will do likewise all over the county, and State, and in all the States of the Union. This done, and we think Congress may yield to this weight of prayer, and grant the required relief—otherwise, aud onehalf of the people in this section are

bankrupted.

Cure for the Diptheria.

Cleveland Herald. A correspondent es a Victoria paper writes : Should any of your family be attacked with the diptheria do not be alarmed, as it is usually and speedily cured without a doctor- When it was raging in England a few years ago I accompanied Dr. Fields on his rounds to witness the so-called wonderful cures he performed while the patients of others were dropping on all sides The remedy, to be so rapid, must be •simple. Ail he took with him was powdered sulphur and a quill, and with these he cured every patient without exception. He put a teaspoonful of flour of brimstone into a wineglass of water an 1 stirred it with his finger instead of a spoon, as tlie sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Brimstone cures every species of fungus in man, beast and plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out. the gargle, he recommended the swallowiagjof ir. In extreme eases he hud been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphate through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gar-ling. He never lost a patient from diptheria. “If a patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on a. shovel, and sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour of brimstone at a time upon It, holding the head over it, and the fungus will die. If plentifully used the whole room may be filled almost tc suffocation, at d the patient can walk about in it, inhaling the fumes with doors and windows closed. The- mode of fumigating a room with sulphur has often cured most violent attacks of cold in the head, chest, etc., at any time is recommended in cases of consumption and asth na.”

' Rochester Sentinel: A voting man ' nrmed Scott, living in Union township became suddenly insane on last i Saturday. He went to the barn lot . and kir.dk d a fire after which he di--1 vested himself of all his clothing and ■ began yelling and dancing around the : lire like an Indian with his war paint j on. The attention or his mother, who j was in the house was attracted by his I yells and she proceeded to him. By strung persuasion she induced him to ; put on his clothing and extinguish the fire. He then broke from his I mother, bounded the fence like a deer ■ ami took to the timber. Pursuit was made but after two days chase he had i not been found and we- have had no further report from him. He was I about Li years of age aud always reI garded as a bright and intelligent , youth. New Y’ork Graphic (independent) ; We ventured :o say after the Conki ling revolt al Rochester, that the rei publican party wasfast passing out of I politics and into history. It has no | organization in one-half of the Union. It is practically defunct in New York state, and now if it is destroyed in Ohio—as it will be substantially ff Bishop is elected—we may expect its disappearance in other states. I’he Rochester Union, in a few well chosen words, sets at rest all the silly I talk ;-bont “Tilden” and “anli-Tilden” sentiments r>ervuding the late Democratio convention. We don’t believe there wiw im enemy, of either President. Tilden or Governor Rohinson fn that convention unless it was some republican who stoic in on a general ticket,

LOVE AND LECTIONEERING.

Edward Eirnleston's new story, “Boxy,* which will begin in Scbib* Ek for November, contains the following glimpse of Indiana life duringthe Whig campaign of 1840. Mark Bon n»y, u young fellow from towadrt« is runtime for repJesentaiive, and MaJlFUathers, an olAboy who is running for sheriff, travel together into the country townships oiftan eteetfoneering fourAhappen in (by the ssn jEsses; his origin ah >ursese,excitestae ahtogonism of theWellvs" by hifrattemfon to the host’s daughter, tao belie of Rocky Fork, The following extract MjoWb shat flic Major’s eye was never off the main chance : While Mark stood looking at Nancy, Major Lathers came and touched him on the shoulder. “Mark,” be whispered, “if you don’t take your eyes off that air creature you’re a gone tater, shore as shootin’. Don’t you see that Jim McGowan’s scowlin’ at you now, and If you ent him out he’ll be dead ag’inst you.’ Come, old feller, you’ll git used up as bad is Julius Ceesardid when he went doWh into Egypt and fell in love with Pharaoh’s daughter and the like, and got licked by it. Let an ole friend pull you out of the bulrushes and the like. Don’t you have no more to do with that, girl, do you hear?” “But I’ve promised to dance the next reel with her,” pleaded Mark, feeling the force of Lathers’s remark and feeling his own powerlessness to resist the current upon which he was drifting. "The devil you have!” cried the major. “Then you’re a goner, sure enough. Saltpeter wont save vou. All the young men’ll be ag’lnst you, because you’ve cut ’em out and sich like, and all the girls’ll be down on you, because you run after the purtlest one. Don’t be a fool, Mark.— Think of my interest as well as your’n.” , “Wait till I’ve had one reel,” said Mark, “j’m only in for a little fun, you know. Isn’t she a splendid creature, Major?” “Splendid! the devil’’’muttered La t.hers, turning away and shrewdly meditating how to cut loose frqm Murk. Mark danced his reel with Nancy, and then devoted himself to her.— Having no further use for Jim, she snubbed him, and Jim swore that Bouiuny shouldn’t get a vote on the Fork. Nothing but Bonamy’s excellent muscle prevented McGowan’s taking a more summary revenge. When at midnight the company marched out-of-doors and stationed themselves around a table made of rough boards supported by stakes driven in the ground, they found a rude but substantial supper of bacon and hominy, corn-bread, sweet-cake and appld-pies. For luxury, there was coffee in place of the sassafras tea with which Rocky Fork was accustomed to regale itself, and, for a wonder, the sweetenin’ wag “store sugar”—of the brown New Orleans variety—instead of “country,” or maple molasses, such as was used on ordinary occasions. The cake, however, was made with the country molasses. Mark, whose infatuation seemed to increase, devoted himself at supper to his Hebe, whom he would have liked better had she been entirely silent. It taxed his gallantry to laugh at her awkward and bearish pleasantries.

“I say, Bonamy,” whispered Lathers, “es you don’t Hop round into the channel almighty quick, I shan’t lash flat-boats weth you no longer. I’ll cut mine loose and swing around and leave you high and dry onto the san’bar.” “I’ll be a good boy after supper, Major,” said Mark. Lathers saw that he was hopelessly enchanted by the siren of Rocky Fork, and he proceeded straightway to execute his threat. Ho sought out Jim McGowan, and told the irate fellow how he had done his best to keep Mark from makin’ a fool of hisself. “I’ll pay him back,” said Jim “I know’d you would,” answered Lathers. "He won’t get no votes on Rocky Fork,” said Jim. “I tole him so,” said’the major. “He might know you’d hurt him, severe like, when he comes in and spiles your game an’ the like. I’ll git him away first thing in the mornin’. Then the girl’ll find she’s throw’d away her beau and got nothin’ but a fool an’ the like for one dance. She’ll come back to you meeker’n Moses when the Philistines was after him. He’d orter know you could keep anybody from votin’ fer him here, and git Whigs to trade off somewheres else. Now. for instance, es you should git a lot of Rocky Forkers and the like to trade with Whigt,—to say to some of my friends that es they’d vote ag’inst Mark, you-all’d vote for me or the like, you might hit a enemy and do a good turn fer a friend. Besides Jyou know I’m dead ag’inst the dog law, and dog law is what Rocky Fork don’t want. From Jim the major proceeded to talk with “old man Kirtley,” to whom he said that he didn’t blame Mark fer gittin’ in love with sich a girl. He might do worse’n to marry sich a splendid creatine and the like. Fer his part he’d tell Mark so in the mornin’. He also assured Mr. Kirtley that fer his part he was dead ag’inst the dog law. Dogs an sich like was one of the things a man had a right to in a free country. Poor men hadn’t got many comforts, and dogs was one of ’em. (The chief product of the Rocky Fork region, as the major, knew, was dogs.) Lathers.then talked to the “women folks.” He said he didn’t think o much of a purty face and sich like as he used to. What you wanted in a woman was to be of some account; and girls too good-looking got to be fools, and stuck-up like, and got into trouble, like Cleopaytry,and the like, you know. He also took occasion to tell the ladies of Reeky Fork that he was dead ag’inst the dog law. Poorfolks had as much right to dogs and sich like as rich folks to sheep and sich like. To the young men Tom Lathers said he didn’t believe in a man dancin’ with one girl all the time, pertieuler when he didn’t mean to marry heV and sich like. It was seandalious. When he come to Rocky Fork ag’in he wouldn’t bring no town fellers and the like along. He believed in country folks himself, and besides he was dead ag’inst all your dog laws and the lixe. Es he got to be sheriff he’d show ’em that dog laws couldn’t be crammed down people’s throats in this county. Didn’t the declaration, which our fathers signed on Bunker Hill, declare that all men was born free and equal! Wasn’t a dog just as good as a sheep and sicJi like, he’d like to know; and if taxin’ dogs wasn’t taxation without representation, he’d jist like to knaw what was, now you know, hey? With such blandishments Lathers spent the time unlil the party broke up with a final jig, when at length he succeeded in getting Mark away, but not until after nearly all the guests had departed. It is said that while the president was on his southern tour some man called out for three cheers for Hayes and Wheeler. The president and his traveling companions were so astonished that they looked at each other in astonishment, and burst into laughter as another’ fellow inquired, “Who the h —1 is Wheeler ?”

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 DUR BILITY 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.
