The Record.

Louis Bass is visiting his parents’. After an absence of a few weeks we are again nt our post, Dr. Ira C. Kelley left for New Meiirotast Saturday evening. Bile Swain is going west to grow up with the country. Gen. R. H. Milroy <tpent a few days with hie old friends in Delphi last week. The M. E. Church Social will be held at the Parsonage Friday evening of next wetk.

Mr. Rnndall. of Pennsylvania, was re-elected Speaker at the opening of the extra session of Congress. A new mail route has been established from Morocco, Newton county, via Beaver Timber and Pilot Grove, to Rensselaer. Mnriage licenses issued during rhe week to James Williams and Martha A. Price, and Charles E. Bastion and Anna B. Young. Mr. Wimer, photographer, Lewistown, Pa., preserted us with a number of scenes on the “Blue Juniata,” f r which we return thanks. Apetition circulated for Mr. Orwin, and the appointment secured by the consul! “Politicalhonor!” Civil service reform!! Was it a clandestine nick? Ugh! The Cleveland Farm, near Rensselaer, is for rent. A couple or young single men, with teams, might be well suited in this. Apply personally or by letter to Mr. Cleveland.

During our absence a number of articles appeared in ihe Sxntinel of a character contrary to our wishes, and in violation of our positive Orders. We trust this explanation will be sufficient. The rebel yell was distinctly audible upon the teassembling of Congress Tuesday.— Monticello Herald. Yes. it proceeded from the brawling threats of old Zach. Chandler in the Senate, and Garfield in the House. The consul is an Ohioan according to his frequent arguments a carpet, bagger in Japer county—and is therefore a fit subject for charitable favor at the hands of the Ohio Fraud who occupies the White House. No milcage will be allowed members of the Legislature on account of the extra session. In calling the body together immediately upon the adjournment of the regular session, tho Governor sat down upon it and saved the taxpayers more than $9,000-

Zea proposes to cut wood at the following rates; Per cord, once in two, 50c. “ “ ‘ “ and split 75c. “ “ twice “ 75c. “ “ “ “ and split, $1 00. Give him a sail. The water being too muddy for angling, father Washburn went coon hunting, and succeeded in treeing a couple of old zips, one of which he in ide captive, while the other escaped. —Monticello Herald. The one that escaped must have been “An Artful Dodger.” Married. -At ’he residence &f the bride’s parents, near Bradford. White county. Ind., Sundiiv, March 16, ’79. by Eld. Hope B. Miller, Mr. Charles McFee and Miss Susie Day. Eld. Miller remained in Bradford oyer Sabbath, and filled the pulpit at that place. The “laurel,” emblem of victory, does not grow in these parts. On the mountains and hills of Pennsylvania, however it grows wild and in abundance. We are indebted to our oldtime fried’,, Noah Penepacker, fora substantial cane of this wood.— Thanks. We notice a bill has passed the House at Indianapolis reducing the price for publication of the delinquent list to 20 cents per description. Now, in keeping with this, let penalty and interest ba wiped' out, and the collection of delinquent taxes will be made a light, pleasant duty for county treasurers? Old “blood et’ing* Chandler’s List speech before his latest retirement from politic n reference to the present incnm =m of ” White House: "Why, the damned r o<4 wouldn’t have been PrcsiLutai *1 if it hadn’t been for me; u wet; I at gave him the States of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana.” Yes, and he counseled civil war rather than accede to the voice of the people.

The radicals in Congress, with Garfield in the lead, are beggiug the Democracy not to follow the precedents established by them, in the recent past. A faint echo is also heard from the Fraud appealing for merfry. And above the din comes the expostulating voico of the consul to Turk Island demanding of them that they exercise a spirit of “political honor!” as he understands it, but faiuto put in practice.

We visited recently the justly celebrated Mann Ax Factory, imbedded among the mountains about 3f miles from Lewistown, Pi. The manufactures of this establishment are sold wherever there is a market on the

habitable globe. Just before leaving, our old friend, Jacob McDannel, a skilled workman, and employed in the works for the past thirty years, manufactured and presented us a couple handsome, complete and perfect miniature double-ait axes, which we shall keep as mementoes. Want a Change.—A petition is being circu.ated for signatures asking the removal of George Sigler and the appointment of W. S. Orwin, as postmaster st Rensselaer.—Union, March 6th. Tbe petition for Orwin, it seems, secured the appointment of the consul. How was it done? Some radicals are inclined to think that while “political honor” was left lying around loose, a “shabby trick” was perpetrated upon them.

The Michigan sot, old Zach. Chandler now stands up and boasts of his loyalty, away from danger, during the war. He is bitter on Jeff. Davis—at a safe distance. If there had bean a few first class hangings of such blattants as Chandler and Davis before the war, It might have been averted and the Union maintained in peace •Mid harmony. The country is gradually settling down to this view of the case, and unbiased history hereafter will associate the names of these men with having rushed the country into civil war. The great “blood-letter” should take a back seat. Hie presence in the Senate, once occupied by the illustrious patriot and statesman Cass, is a lasting disgrace to Michigan. Politieal Honor. -“Last year * * * immediately proceeding electi n day the Democracy of Jasper county clandestinely substituted upon their tickets the name of the national candidate for piosecutor for that of their regular nominee, and every Democrat in the county, save D. B. Miller alone, endorsed the shabby trick.- - Consul to/Turk Isfand. The statement that the Democracy ot Jasper county clandestinely substituted the the name of tbe national candidate for prosecutor upon their ticket last fail, has more the ring of a political lie than that of “political honor.” The name of the national candidate was substituted upon what was supposed to be eerrect information received that the Democratic nominea had withdrawn. “Political honor!” Bah!

Our late visit to “home and friends” in Pennsylvania, after an absence of twenty years, was very pleasing to ns, During our stay, we witnessed considerable improvement in the health of our aged mother, to whose bedside we had been called, received a warm welcome from many old and cherished friends, and visited haunts and scenes of our early years on the banks of the beautifuf juuiaia. xue hills, mountains and the town weeasily recognized. Time has not worked changes on these to the same extent as upon the people, and yet in this particular it was gratifying to us to note the change not near so great as we had anticipated, Time, too, seems to have dealt gently with them, and in most instances the ravages of twenty years are scarcely perceptible.

Cincinnati Enquirer. The Democratic party, through its representatives in Congress, stand before the country in a splendid attitude. Fair trial by jury, no Federal bayonets at the polls, local elections free from Federal interference and bribery—this was its valedictory as the Forty-fifth Congress died. It was in defense of these principles that Mr. Southard tossed defiance back to Hafe when the latter threat-med an extra session in the name and for the sake of packed juries, government muskets at the ballot-boxes,‘and unlimited Republican electioneered paid from *he public treasury. Which attitude in a free government is a re volutionary one?

The appropriation for the harbor at Michigan City, which was announced as $20,000, was eventually made $40,000, Tbe hands of Major Calkins can doubtless be seen in this Increase.—LaPort Herald. If the Herald knows what it is talking about, which it rarely does, it would understand that the in crease was entirely made in tbe Senate’ through tbe influence of Senators McDonald and Voorhees.—Laporte Argus. James W. McEwen, of Rensselaer, Jasper county. Indiana, who has been absent for more than 20 years, pays our town a visit. He has been greeted by a great number of old friends and acquaintances, who are glad to see him looking well. We believe he is now In charge of a paper at the above named place but still retains the largest Interest in the old Monticello Democrat, which he edited for so many years.—Lewistewn (Pa.) Gazette. We understand that Burlington townshjp offers SIOO,OOO to have the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago railway pass through Burlington t'p, and that Flora offers to do as well proportionately. That is the kind of talk that the railroad men like to hear, and it may cut Roseville and Frankfort out, as well as straighten the Hue somewhat between this point and Indianapolis. The Burlingtonians, being isolated, want a direct outlet to the world at large.—Delphi Sun. The Commissioners of Carroll county refused last week to guarantee the payment of tax voted to the new road on its completion to Delphi. One member of the board was absent when the decision was made, and the Time* thinks that when the board meets with all the members present the request of the railroad company will be granted, as the people interested are strongly in favor of it.—Monticello Herald.

in our frequent ioraging expeditions for items through the legislative chambers we are brought in contact with a variety of forms of human nature. One of the pleasantist and most accommodating is the chief secretary of the Senate. Daniel D. Dale, Esq. He is one of the most efficient office men that it has been our good fortune to meet. Ask him for a bill or a resolution or a paper and he can put his hands right upon it, and he does it in such a nleasant, genteel sort of way that you feel like asking him again? He is only 42, and It is not every public man who develops into a thorough gentleman, even at tbot age. He has been clerk of White county, Indiana, two terms and practices law at Monticello. His face is familiar on State convention occasions, as he has been a regular attendant upon them for the past fifteen years. All men occupying positions where the great public go constantly for business and information, should cultivate the art of oeing as courteous and obliging as Secretary dmo. —lumauapuus Sentinel.
