JAMES H. LOUGHRIDGE,

If. a W. Yeoman, S'cc’v.

Hayes has appointed Packard, of Louisiana,, consul to Live) pool, one of the best paying offices in his gift. 13io. James made a din-cl fight on flie “Old Hero,” and the o. h. came tout of the contest Monday with 21 majority. I3y law it is made the duty of Corporation Trustees to elect h Marsi a'. The legal voters of Retisselaet, on Monday l'ust* however, gave an ex pression of preference, and the newly elected Trustees will net wisely if they inspect the wishes of the poopde. Democrats and Independents displayed an aggressive disposition at the recent election very commendable. The d ys for folded hands have passed, Members of the radical "ring” left the polls in disgust, declaring in angush of spirit that “everything had gone to the d—11"

The defenders of Shylocks boast loud and tong that there never was more money in t l ie eouidry than there is at the present time. On the fits 1 page will be found a table compiled from the official records which proven the statement to be an. enormous lie. Give it a careful perusal.

On Monday last the Democrats and Independents of Rensselaer elected live out of the nine officers voted for, and had it not been for a slight misunderstanding would have cleaned up the whole thing. This is glory enough for a town where radicalism claimed j<) majority, and where, too, a very few years since, they were five ro one. In his attempt ut wit last week Rro. James didn’t know how near he came to the truth when he derisively insisted that radicalism would get “scooped.”

£3s"Tho Rensselaer Union, in speaking of the National Greenback convention, held in that county, a few days ago, makes a cutting thrust at Mr. Barkley, tin* present county auditor. That is ail good enough, so far us the editor of the Union is concerned, but when the legal voters of that county stur» and think, for one moment, that none more willingly, than 'his same editor, assisted in electing the present auditor, what possible influence can his editorials have with that people? Mr. B. was elected, qualified, tilled his bond, and so far as we have known has made• a good officer, and still stands upon the plat form and principles on which he was elected something that Mr. editor of the Union has failed to do. But this is not all. when the time rolled around Jor publishing the delinquent lax, Mr. Barkley found that he could get It printed for less than the Union would do it for, and the contract was let to Mr. lvitt. who was then publisniug the Remington Times, as a neutral;paper. This somewhat “riled" the q .ill driver of the Union, and no sooner had 11 io tux list appeared, than the Union’s batteries were turned upon Mr. B and a continual tiling has been kept up ever since. * * * * Goodlaud Register. The Register is in error in a few particulars. Mr. Kitt was paid the amount fixed by law for publi ntiou of the delinquent tux list The consul’s antipathy to the county auditor might be attributed to his non-up pointmeut us deputy.

Without raising a question as to the ignorance of the Goudluud Register upon this or any other matter, we will state as a truth that Col. Joshua Healey of Newton county aspires to be prosecutor for the Doth circuit; and he vill probably be “endorsed” by the teinocruts and nationals for that jof.lee. —[Rensst Her Union. The d 1 you say! Well state something that we don’t know about the Col. Have you any objections to him? Do you think you can trot out a Republican, Independent, Greenback, or any other man—from yom rural village, that can beat him on the track? Don’t H. E. James, attorney at law and Notary Public, of Rensselaer, want to contest the ehampioush p with the Col?—he Las been aspirant to almost everything else that man could mention. He was once a candidate for Postmaster, once a cun didate, for county clerk, before a primary election held in that county, not many years ago, and by hook or crook, was once made a United States Grand Juryman at Indianapolis, eh!—Goodlaud Register. The consul regards the Register , s the mouth piece of Col. Healey, and although his old “pnrd” can speak from the book, he don’t seem yet fully to take in the situation. He may have had a hankering for the pro: - editorship, but he would disdain to think of it now. The news of his a, - poiulment as chairman of the radical central committee of Jus pi r county no sooner reached Washington than Turk Island, with its dusky population, and salt floating continuously through the air like huge snowflakes, was placed at his disposal. True, he might prefer the Guano Islands, wlvre gold grows on trees and richness from the feathered tribes covers the earth a foot deep, but then- -something is better tlp:n nothing.

Another appointment. Johnnie Boroughs was appointed secretary of the radical cotmty entrul committee of Jasper, and immediately Travis heis this way from the wilds of Benton and appoints him deputy prosecutor. The proposition that Bro. James be required to oppose the nominees of tin* radical convention is receiving s- - ;ious consideration from the “ring.” Lhe result of his opposition to the Old 18-ro” is regarded as a good • ason for this new departure.. The elec i n board in the third ward came mar depriving Henry Eiglesnch of his vote last Monday, simply on the ground that bethought proper to procure his washing done in the country, m l in spite of the fact that bis board, lodging and occupation w s all within the limits of the corporaion. The radical “ring” have more promises out than the national administraion. The recorder’s office ha* been promised to at least fifty. The moment one proves res'ive they “eiide” a'ter him, and u promise is made.— she “ring" claims the exclusive and sole right to dispose of the offices in Jasper county. The radical “ring" are in a terrible stew over the refusal of a considerable in nnber, appointed on committees and delegations by the radical mass! convention, to accept or act. On last Saturday they were cringing and fawning around some of this class, a id b . gdig them “for God’s sake, as u-personal favor—if they would not servo— not to publish it in the Sentinel!”

Chairman.

As the council previously stood, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, speaking of the-clection in that city, there were three Democrats and twentytwo republicans in the council; there were three democrats and seven republicans in the board of aldermen. As it. stands now there are twelve democratic council men and thiit.eu republicans. There arc also four democratic aldermen and six republicans. We have looked ut these figures in every possible light, even through the Journal’s spectacles, and we can’t see anything in it but a democratic victory. Can anybody else ses it otherwise?

Sadbath, 3 P. M., May 5. Rey. Vanscoy addressed a large audience at the Watson school house. The occasion was largely attended, the house not Having capacity for seating near all the people. Folks trout. Barkley, Hanging Grove and Rensselaer were in attendance. Pursuant to services the crowd repaired southeast to that part of tue big ditch designated as the old saw mill to attend to the ordinance of baptism. IT the count be correct eleven were baptised by pouring and thirteen by emersion. All present seemed to acquit themselves creditably in keepiugquict while the faithful probationers received the ordinance. NATIVE.

“The ltujiubliciut party will protect tlie people from the i ufiecte of those pernicious doctrines which teach that the masses are the wards of the government and may rightfully depend on the government for money and subsistence independently of their individual exertions.” Editor Sentinel: The false and v.ncidicd tor accusation contained in the above production of the republican mass convention is properly appreci nted by a “National” who has heretofore bi on A Re>cun an. New York Staats Zeitung: The repul liean join mils reach rile climax of eh mu lessncss when in view of such rev. latinos they plant themselves upott the impn-gnibility of the president’s logtd title. This is what makes the situation so miserable. To have tit the head of the republic, and to be obliged to keep there, a man who has reached iiis office through fraud, and who most probably was not only knowing to the fraud, but a helper in its perpetration—this is a revolting disgrace, and only the basest party spirit could endure it patiently. If there isa lawful method of sending to the devil a man so deeply dishonored, and who dishonors both his oi'liso aud H e whole nation, the American peoule may well congratulate themselves on the tact. A president so branded is deprived of all moral authority, and whatever legul authority lie may possess is reduced to the most pitiable value. ’Squire MeConahay inis adopted the idea ncecly sng. ested in this paper of adver.is ng lor loafers to sit iuand about his office; but it is acting con trtiry to expectations, and instead of driving t ern away, the boys have answered tne cull to the number of fifteen or twenty, and the requirements an* fully complied with. If the -re- | emit, ••outinue coining in, the joke ■ will be an expensive one on the • ’Squire, as loafers will monopolize his | attention to tin* exclusion of all other : business.—Montieello Herald.

j There is terror in the democratic ; ranks, a gif'ed liar having started the i rumor that Condurango Colfax is | about, to creak into the party. Let it i take any shape but that. i A flfte.-n year old daughter of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, eloped from her home in Washington a few days since and wtu married in Baltimore. Jno. Purcupile sold his three-min-ute horse to a gentleman from abioad last week -Montieello Herald.

Religious Services.

Gen, Packard has sold the LaPorte Chronicle, and will remove with his family to California. Mrs. Peter Koehler, residing near Connersville.gave birth to five sound, healthy boys a few days since. All are doing well. Washington Post: Now that Packard is appointed to aplacp, ever} r man, wotnaa and child who helped to steal Hayes into the white house have been rewarded except Bill Chandler and Eliza Pinkston. Whatever may have been Bill's deserts, such invidious neglect is very unkind to Eliza. General Shields was once on a time elected to Congress from Missouri by a handsome majority, but his Republican competitor contested his seat and a Republican Congress turned Gen. Shields, gallant, Christian, maimed, loyal, tried and true union soldier, out of the s?at to which he had been honestly elected, ail because he was a Democrat. The Republicans who are now blubbering over Gen. Shields arc consummate blatherskites and contemptible hypocrites.

Courier-Journal: The republican congressional committee, in preparing for the campaign, must have funds, and the campaign manageis have arranged to levy on each repub Mean senator for SIOO, each republican congressman for SSO, the president for $5,000, and SSOO a piece for the members of the cabinet. Whether Judge Key is included in this fiscal sustentatiou arrangement is not known., but if it is excused that wonderful order of Mr. Hayes will have a very funny appearance. Charley Wigmore returned from a visit to his grandparents, in Clinton county, Monday evening. Miss Emma Wigmore celebrate! her 13th anniversary last evening. A number of young friends were invited. Hon. John Vant Woud has been appointed agent of the Travelers’ Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, Connecticut, for Jasper county. This company is perfectly staole, being the oldest in the United "States and the largest in the world. It has paid over thre and a half millions to its policy holders. It has cash assets of over tour millions; it pays promptly all just and valid claims.

Suicide.

On last Monday evening a messenger came to town and announced that Isaac R. Lewis, of Barkley township, had committed suicide about 11 o’clock of that day by hanging himself. Coroner Warner at once summonsed Daniel B. Miller to assist him in the capacity of clerk, and the two at once proceeded to the farm of deceased where they found the facts above staged as true. The evidence at tho inquest developed the fact that deceased hud been contemplating the act for some time—that ill health had caused a partial aberration of the mind. The act seems to have been done in order- to avoid the results total insanity which he feared was coming on him.

An Astonishing Fact

A large proportion of the American people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Mill ions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every ease. You can buy a sample bottie for 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the western continent.

THE PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of Indiana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, an 1 in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes withfulliegal 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, exoressly payable in coin. That the right to issue {taper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the 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 legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money. That we deem it unwise an 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 interest of tho people would bo subserved by legislation so 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 tire in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum } er annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 4124 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 coimige thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided 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 public 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 tho recurrence thereof and to protect the futute public order and security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lieu upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lieu 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 *! e miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the eotnmon school system, and will in every legitima e way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert auy portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for legislative r urposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable', snd 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 many eases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of olie people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly conternplat 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 barefaced 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 people 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 act 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 ot federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That onr seuators 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 now giveu to the soldiers of the war of 1812.
