It is a well concocted plan, and if Diana shed her halo of light around them, and Fortuna fors them they will come home with their boat—“full.”

School Reports.

The school in District No. 2, Barkley township, dosed Feb. 19, with an average daily attendance of 18.5, the number on roll being 19. The daily per cent, of attendance 97 ; length of term, four months. The teacher challanges the county for an accurate account that will excel it.

W. S. BERRY,

March 10,1878. The school of District No. 1, Barkley township, commenced Sept. 24, 1877, and ended Maroh 11,1878.

The following persons were present every day: Ida Culp, Ella Culp, Etta Culp and John Hendricks Gulp. Those not tardy are as follows: Millie Wade, Ida Overton, Louella Ooverton, John A. Randle, Eddie Randle, John ElGulp and Etta Culp. The two following were neither tardy nor absent: John EL Culp and Etta Culp. The number enrolled was 25; the average daily attendance. 17; the average per cent, of attendance. 86. The patrons have been desirous to keep the attendance good; but their attempts have been foiled in part, by one, the children of whom it is pitiful to see grow up in ignorance. To all others of the district their teacher feels grateful, and when he gets to his “buckeye” home he still will remember them. A. BEBRY, Teacher. March 11,1878. Report of school No. 10 (Cozy Palace) Barkley township; term ending March 7th, 1878. Average daily attendance, 19.15; average age of pupils 11.12 years. Billie Daniels missed ne time during the term. Scholars were all good.

The democracy of the state of In diana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, ani in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United States notos, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such .obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, expressly payable in coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of ihe government, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor or such legisiation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common withall other money. That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interests of the people would be subserved by legislating go as to distribute said debt among our people at home —affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States. That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412| grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and private; and that the coinage thereof shall be uu limited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be »rovided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act.

We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all Dublie officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order and security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that, would be just to the miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the eommon school system, and will in every legitime e way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for legislative rurposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, «nd we demand that the next legislature, in apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory. That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in matiy cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of che people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplat d by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 1789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the grant of subsidies by the federal government, either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit That we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaeed effrontery, carried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people’s choice for president and vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free peopie had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government a crime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have outraged. And we denounce the aot of the president of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts or federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that the soldiers of the war of 1812.

Theoretical Examination.

Teachers and other interested parties are notified that the first regular theoretical examination of teachers will be held at the school-house iu Rensselaer, Saturday, March 30, 1878. The questions on theory and prae tice will embrace all the various common school branches, so that regular licenses may be granted after examination; also, questions on the additional branches of zoology, and mental philosophy applied to teaching. Applicants can be tested on any oue, two, or all three tonics, as they choose. Pens, ink, and paper will be needed for writing; also, ruler, pencil, and other appliances for map-drawing. This, with favorable weather, is expected to be one of the largest and most interesting convocations of teachers ever held in the couuty. Let each teacher show a commendable public spirit by attendance and participation in the exercises.

Gen. Tom Browne, who ran against Goveruor Hendrick in 1872. has been interviewed about the political outlook in Indiaua, and gives the following as his deliber. te conclusions: “So far as Indiaua is involved the Democracy will elect their ticket by an overwhelming majority, and will have a majority in each branch of the legislature, securing the return of Dan Voorhees to the United States Senate. We republicans may elect three members of Congress, but, in all probability, will not secure even two. In the next national house of represen tatives the democracy will have a larger majority than they had two years ago, and, with a democratic Senate, which is already assured, in 1879, they 3 *will have complete control of the legislative department of the government. About that time President Hayes will wish he had never been born. Success in 1878 insures succes in 1880, when they will control the government in all branches but the judiciary."—Fowlex Democrat A party of gentlemen were in the city a few days since examining the tow-path of the canal, in view of the construction, of a line of railroad thereon from Toledo to Attica. The line has been examined carefully between the two points named, and the conclusion reached that the road bed could be prepared for the ties at a nominal cost. There is no doubt that the road will be costrueted at an early day.—Delphi Times.
