Who for Congress in the Tenth District? Tho Democrats can elect their man.— Valparaiso Messenger. Got. B. F. Prescott’s majority In the Republican stronghold of New Hampshire has dwindled down to 941. Nar* row eseupc. Senator McDonald, of Indiana, mode a strong speech in the Senate, and 22d instant, in favor of Senator Thurman’s Pacific ltuilroad sinking fund bill. Senator Voorhees has introduced a bill in Congress which provides that legal tender notes of the United States shall be received at pur for customs ami duties.

At a Democratic township convention held a few days *-ince in Valparaiso,Porter eounty. Daniel Webster received the nomination for assessor by a unanimous vote. Radical legislation in the interest of the money power, seeks to make bonds, purchased with greenbacks, payable in gold. Radical legislation, by fraud, demonetized and depreciated silver. Jno. Shermun, when before the Henalo Fiuuncu Cummit’ee, in response t > a question asket him by Mr. Voor. iices, replied that he had been mistaken in his views in reference to the remonetization of silver. Tho Winatnuc Democrat auys there is a strong probability that the Democrats will carry the Tenth Congressional District tins year, no matter who the Republicans may nominate. That’s cold comfort to Major Calkins. The Democratic Central Committee for the Tenth Congressional District of Indiana is composed of the following named gentlemen: T. E. Howard, Bt. Joseph oouuly; W, Sheeneiuan, La Porte; H. Biunamou, Porter; Nicholas Scherer, Lake; Henry Barkley, Jasper; (J. W. Wickersham, Pulaski; William Eluiendorf, Staik; James T. Saunderson, Newton; D. D. Dale, Whiter C. It. Pallord, Carroll. T. E. Howard, of South Bond, is chairman of this committee. A radical exchange says: "A democratic supreme court, by Its decision in the case of Anderson vindicates the title of Hayes to the Presidential ofllee.” We suppose that Is tho extent of tho keen comprehension of the author of the above extract. All others know, however, that Anderson escaped on a technicality. The orriginal payers were the ones he forged, not the copies upon which he was committed. “ Upon such slender thread” a radical will attempt to vindicate the honesty of his party. Secretary John Sherman, in his recent interview with the House coinage committee, said: “We have been very much disappointed in regard to live result of measures affecting our ooiuage and our legal tender. Ho would be a wise man indeed who would undertake to predict the result of any partieulat measure. I have this option, which I,' can express strongly, that under the iaw as it now stands we can maintain ilie silver dollar at par with tho best mouey afloat, either gold or currency, and can issue fifty, sixty, or perhaps 0110 hundred millions of those silver dollars, giving great relie! to the people.” The .■diver advocates, then, are no longer repudia’.ots, but honest men who desire to pay their debts in honest money.

Jealous.

The Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago narrow gauge has been compelled to succumb to the inevitable. The ouly engine of the road is lying disconsolate in the » itch, and cannot be resurrected without the aid of another locomotive. The company has sent to Columbus, Ohio, for one, until it arrives the road will not be operated. LaFayettc Journal. The sciutilations of green envy shine through the above like a “rot ten mackerel by moonlight.” When the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago l'ailroud begins to carry freight and passengers between Indianapolis and Chicago twenty-five per cent, cheaper than the vaunted Kankakee Short Line dare do, the LaFayette people will conclude that the narrow gauge is not tiie road which has “succumbed to the inevitable.” —Delphi Times. “Since tiie remonetization of silver, etc., there is nothing left of tho platiorin for the Democracy to make a tight upon.” Such is radical and if they could only imj ress upon the people fie idea they wish to convey, all plight be lovely. But, the radical t arty is responsible for all the finan rial evils and misgoveriunent from which the country lias suffered. The people know this fact. The cutting down of expenditures, tho remonetization of silver, and aft tho refoims that have been established, and otheis proposed, are of democratic origin, demanded and forced by a democratic House upon au unwilling radical Senate and fraudulent administration. The people know this, too, and the “Smart Alecks” who attempt to convince them to the contrary but ex- ) i bit a vast amount of foolishness and presumption.

A few days since, at Washington, Jay Gould attempted to aflproa h Hoti. Jns. E. McDonald, Democratic United States Benator from Indiana, upon the affairs of the Faeifte railroads, being considered in the Judiciary Committee, of which Mr. McDonald is a member, and was informed by the Senator that he would listen to no statement or propositions except in eomttdttee and in the presence of all it* members; and Mr, Gould was furthermore, emphatically invited to make himself scarce. As a result of radio*! legislation these great corporations have it in their power to rob the Government of two hundred millions of dollars, if cot more, and they will do it, unless throttled by the Government through such representatives as McDonald, Voorhees, Thurman, and others of the Judiciary Committee are experting themselves to perfect such measures as will proven' this ‘two million grab.” These railroads have made vast profits. The BanFruncisco Alta boasts that the Central Pacific alone has netted in the last twelve years a profit of $45,000,000 which is being invested in the construction of other roads. An exchange very forcibly remars: “There is but one way for a Government to deal witli this kind of piracy. What justice and fair dealing demand of these corporations, is too plain for litigation, and can be exacted from them without negotiation, arbitration or reference to court. As yet the Governments is sovereign and the corporations are but its creatures. It has the taxing power, tho power of .self-protection, tiie expressly reserved power to engraft upon our Pacific railroad legislation any new provis ion which Congress may find ueoesary to protect the interests of the publie Treasury; and this power ought to be exereiso » in the most summary and effective method which the ingenuity of Congress can devise. The fuilure or hesitancy of Congress to exercise it, is a betrayal of the Government and a shameful surrender of the people’s sc.ptre to u freebooter baud of capitalists.”

An Important Letter from Senator Voorhees.

United States Sknatk Chamber, i Washington, Fob. 21, IS7B. j E. J. Hughes, 8r ,—Dear Sir: —Your favor of i lie 21st is at hand. I do not agree with you that the silver bill, even as it was amended, was worse than no bill at all. It is true that I did not get exactly what I wanted in the bill; but the main principle involved in the whole struggle, wus to restore the silver dollar of 412 j grains, to full legal tender as it wus before the act of 1873. That being done the amount that shall be coined can be in reased at any time next week for instance, if a majority in Congress will agree to do so. The silver dollar being again legal tender money by law, we have the basis on which to enact future measures for its coinage. It is true that two millions a month in not much, and I voted against limitation being placed on the amount that should be eoiued; but you must remember that the Bland bill as it came from the House had nothing in it to compel the Secretary of the Treasury to coin any certain amount. As to the Secretary not putting tiie silver money into circulation ufter it is coined, I think it will not be difficult to make laws by which such a high handed attempt is that can be defeated; I have no fears of anything of that kind. I hope you and all your friends will remember that this is the first financial victory for tiie people since our present system was formed in 1862, and that w e cannot expect every necessary feature of reform to be obtained at a single step. The fight before us is a long one and the enemy is strongly fortified. Other battles are before us, and I trust still greater victories. As for myself, I expect to follow up the fight in the cause of au oppressed people, doing them all the good I can at any stage of the conflict. And whet I fail to obtain for them to-day I will hope to secure for them to-morrow. I think to have voted against the bill restoring tho silver dollar of our lathers, simply because that bill did not also provide for the coinage of as many of them as I wanted would have been a mis take. There are other days hereafter for oth -r laws. With kind regards, I remain) very truly yours,

D. W. VOORHEES.

Fall of a Mountain.

[llclenu (.Montana) Independent. Nearly every resident of Montana has either seen or heard of the famous Bear Tooth Mountain, the most prominent landmark in northern Montana. It is visible from different points at distances ranging from forty to s sixty miles, aud is in full view from Helena and the surrounding country. The mountain is distant about thirty miles from Helena, and stands like a grim aud mighty sentinel at the end of the canon known as the gate of the Mountains, through which flows the Missouri river. The Bear Tooth was fully described as a wonderful landmark of the early explorers, Lewis and Clark. In all photographs of the northern country the two tusks rising black and grim hundreds of feet above tho mountain, are the prominent objects. The main tusk remains, looking lonely and isolated in its grandeur. Lust Monday week a party of hunters, who were chasing game several miles north of the Bear Tooth, observed a rumbling sound and a quaking of the earth, and supposing it was an earthquake, and not noticing a repetition of it, they soon forgot the occurrence, and continued their chase until ;hey reached the Boar Tooth Here they were astonished by the appearance of the eastern tusk. This was a perpendicular mass of rock and earth, fully 500 feet high, 300 feet in circumference at its rase, about 150 feet at the top. This immense mass had become dislodged, and coming down with the speed of an avalanche hail swept through a forest of large timber for a quarter of a mile, entirely leveling it. The country around is now covered with a great mass of broken trees and tons upon tons of rocks, many of them as large as an ordinary house. A wonderful feat in engine building was recently accomplished at the Michigan Central Railroad shops at Jackson. Two gangs of fourteen men each began at seven o’clock upon two separate locomotives, the parts of which had been previously laid to hand, and “set up” the two machines, each employing thousands of pieces, and Started them out of the yard under steam, in exaetly two hours aud fifty-flve minutes.

The Proposed Capitol.

The following description of the proposed capital building at Indian- j apt lis we copy from the Sentinel; “First, as to It* dimension*. The full length of the bulldisg will be 482 feet; width of south and north fronts, 184 feet; width of center wings, feet; height of building, centre wing, 86 feet; height of dome to top of lantei n, 220 feet; height of sub basement, 6 feet 6 inches; height of basement, 13 feet; height of first story, 17 feet; he"; htof second story, 19 feet; height of ihird story, 16 feet. TH* DISTRIBUTION OF DEPABTMJCKTS. The sub-basement will be used fpr. heating and ventilating and the storage of heavy articles and fuel, and the basement will I e divided iuto storerooms, vaults and engine and boiler rooms. The basement will have a carriage drive from east to west with an inside drive from center to north and south extremes. The entire business departments of the State will be on the first floor which include offices for the governor, secretary of state, auditor of state, treasurer of state, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, state board of agriculture, clerk of the supreme court, and adjutant general. The representatives’ ball, 70x70 feet, 44 ft-et «n height; senate chamber, 63x64 feet, 44 feet in height; court room, 50 feet 6 inches x 57 feet 6 inches, 36 feel in height; law library, 30 feet b inches x 56 feet 8 inches, 19 feet in height; library, 44 feet x 56 foot 8 inches, 36 feet in height; and the library, museum and reading room, are all on the second floor, with numerous necessary ante-chambers, officers’ rooms, committee rooms, water closets, wash rooms, etc. The third story will contain 18 committee rooms, two joint committee rooms; public gallery to house—seating capueity, 296; standing room, 250; ladies’ to let rdom, two public water closets, public gallery to senate cham-ber-seating capacity, 408; standing room, 120. DOME, HEIGHT AND VENTILATION. The building will be surmounted by a dome of the best construction, which will add dignity to the whole, and.will be built in accordance with the best and oldest architectural examples extant. From foundation to the springing line of the roof it will be constructed of Indiuna stone, and no plastering, stucco or worn work will be required to finish it without or within, as all the ornamentation is out, on, and in the solid stone of the structure. The rotunda is well lighted and not obstructed with useless galleries, making noise and confusion and serving to fill the air with dust from below. All the modern improvements will be called into requisition in ventilating and heating the building, and every room will secure the sunlight at some portion of the day. The special features icgurding light and ventilation were among the strongest recommendations of the plan, and conduced perhaps more than anything else towards its adoption. Each hall and room is lighted directly from the outside, all roof and ceiling lights beiug carefully avoided. The system of ventilation by exhausting the vitiated air from the floor line by means of the exhaust ducts, which are helped or forced by the steam heating pipes within, is most effectual, and the only safe and certain method of securing pure, fresh air, and will commend itself for its simplicity and economical arraugement, beiug nothing more nor less than the old fashioned fire place, the foul air passing up and ont of the eflimney Bhaft, and the fresh air rushing in, even at the key hole.

EXTERIOR INDICATIONS AND SAFF. CONSTRUCTION.

The building should on the exterior indicate the purpose aud use of the various departments. In this design the hall of representatives, senate chamber and supreme court room, are clearly indicated, affording an example of truthful exterior, aud, necessarily, order, beauty of form and convenience of distribution in the selection of ornamentation. Good taste depends on the simplicity of design, rather than in loading the edifice with ornaments or fictitious helps that do not eu.er into the beauty of design, but ouly serve to bewilder and dazzle the beholder. The safe construction of the entire building will be assured by building walls from the- foundation up. No brick walls will be supported by girders or arches over voids. Wherever it becomes necessary, owiug to small rooms having to be constructed over large oues, to make partitions, they will be constructed with wrought iron trusses, perfectly protected with iron lath work, made to receive a covering of mortar or cement work. The roofs will be plain, except the four bold pavilions, which serve a twofold purpose, that of breaking up the skyline of roofs and for an outlet to exhaust the foul air from the different departments of the building. The roofs over the grand eoi ridor are constructed entirely of wrought iron and glass, the ceilings with ornamental cut glass. THE SELECTION OF THE PLAN. As is well known to most of our readers, 24 plans were submitted for the consideration of the commissioners. The members of the board are Governor Williams, I. D. G. Nelson, of Allen county, Josephus Collett, of Vermilion county, and General Thos. A. Morris and General John Love, of this city—all gentlemen of integrity and character. They have had a great deal of experience in the line of their duties since their appointment last May, having thoroughly examined two sets of plans. They, with the assistance of the experts, spent the entire month of August last in the inspection of the four plans first submitted—those of Eppinghauseu, Myers, Cooper and Johnson. This arduous labor sufficed to make them familiar with architectural designs and drawings, and secured them much valuable information, so that they b ought riper judgments to bear upod tne second series of plans submitted. In many of these by the aid of their experience they were enabled to perceive irremediable effects almost at first glance, and thus quite a number or the 24 were speedily cast aside as unworthy of consideration. For over three months they have been engaged in the close and careful examination of the remaining plans. Their decision was arrived at aud re-exam-in d, and afler they had thoroughly satisfied themselves of thb aocuracy of the estimates on each. It is therefore evitl nt that iu the award just made they were guided by sound convictions and ripe judgments. The commissioners deserve the highest praise for the faithful manner iu which they have performed their duties, and they certainly possess the confidence of the general public. £ The areixit o/s estimate of the cost of the new capitol is $1,721,911.61, and tiie expert’s estimate is $1,792,791.71. The cost of construction is limited to $2/)00,0«;0 by the state house act, and the commissioners reauested archite ts to k ep their estimates inside of $1,800,000? It is safe to say that the

new capitol will be in every way a credit, convenience and ornament to the state. The public firora the illustration can judge of its exjbriof appearance and the description of the plau.will give them an iiuight Into, the interior arrangement. It Is safe to say that it wjtt equal any state house in the west In eveiy particular."

A gentleman once bought two tottery tickets, one for himself and one by the request of his friend who was absent. In the course Of a few months the lottery was drawn, and the friend for whom he hail bought tiie second ticket, and who had not been called upon to pay for it, received a note that he had drawn $20,000. “But how did you know whioh ticket was mine and which was your own?” The honest man replied: “I bought two tickets aud placed them in my bureau drawer, but thinking that there might be Some question, I marked the one I intended for you with a cross, and I find it was your ticket that had drawn. the prize.” Match this who can as an instance of downright honesty- —Boston Journal.

Sounds of Normandy.

We have just received a copy of a Potpourri, containing all the popular airs from the new opera called tis “Chimes of Normandy,” splendidly arranged for the piano, by Charlie Baker, the celebrated Americas Composer. No doubt our friends and readers who have hail the pleasure of hearing this superb new opera can not fail to remember the beautiful melodies contained therein. AU these have been nieoly arranged for Piano or Organ. So popular is this composition that the publisher was compelled to make two sets of plates, in order to supply the demand. Every person who is in possession of a piano or an organ should buy a copy. Price, 50 cents, published by F. W. Helmick, the Great Western Publisher, 136 West Fourth Street, Cincinnati, O. Mr. Wells, an experienced railway builder, says that three fourths of the grading of the Wabash and Erie canal tow-path, will do, as it now is, for a narrow gauge railroad, and that all the stone work is in good order. He estimates that the road can be built and furnished with rolling Stock at a cost of not over $4,000 per mile.

Xr. Parsons, a lawyer in Chicago, was trying a case before a jury, being counsel for the prisoner. The judge was very bard upon him, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Mr. Parsons moved tat a new trial. The judge denied the motion, and remarked: “The oot»rt and the jury think the psfsiooers a knave and a fool." The counsel promptly replied: “The prisoner wishes me to say he is perfectly satisfied—he has been tried by a court and jury of his peers!" A pious old clergyman, while wending his way to church one Sunday morning, caught sight of the two sons of his paiishoners going into the woods, evidently for the purpose of hunting. Feeling certain that anything like a decent remonstrance with the young gentlemen themselves would scarcely turn them from their ways, he waited urnil after preaching, and sought the old gentleman, their father. After recounting the circnmstance of meeting Billy and Sammy as he had done, he closed the appeal by inquiring why they had not been brought up in the fear of the Lord? “Fear of the Lord, parson—fear of the Lord? Why they hev? They’re so ’feared of Him. now they dasent go out on Sunday without double barl shot-guns on their shoulders!"

Hew an English Clergyman Lost His Guests.

[London World.] A reverend doctor, who preaches not a hundred miles from the Temple, lias a considerable weakness for clergymen of color, and on a recent occasion gave in honor of three or four of them a dinner, to which he invited some of his distinguished fellow-la borers in the vine-yard to meet him. The dinner hour came, and the white parsons along with it, but though host and guests waitad three quarters of au hour not a black one appeared. The host thereupon sent for the servant, and asked whether any one had called. “No one, sir, no one,” was the reply, with which the doctor being dissatisfied, proceeded to cross-examine, and it after some time occurred to the servant to say, “No one. sir—indeed no one has called ejrcept some Christy minxtrels, but I soon got rid of them."

The Fourth of July.

The suggestion of the Journal that, should the harrow gauge railroad be rompleted to this city by ths Fourth of July (an event scarcely admitting of a doubt) the people of Delphi and Carroll county unite in a monster demonstration, is heartily seconded by the Times. The completion of this road will mark an era in the history of this city and county Which will long be remembered. From that day and hour our prosperity will be assured, and our progress become rapii and steady, and nothing could be more appropriate than that the event be celebrated by a demonstration commensurate with our increased opportunities for competing with cities which in the past have seized upon tha opportunities we neglected, and flourished upon an enterprise which we failed to exhibit. — Delphi Times.
