The deficiency of ex-Attorney General Denny, radical, of this State, is officially reported by the Legislative committee at $34,898 59. ■». -■ The consul copies an article from the N. Y. Independedt cotnplaing that “There is no money in the United States Treasury to pav Marshals.”— A Democratic Congress appropriated money for that purpose and Fraud Hayes vetoed the bill. Happy to see you cuss the Fraud. John Sherman could all along find positions for Lizo Pinkston, Agnes Jenks, Tom Anderson, in fu.t for all Louisiana liars and returning board perjurers, male and female, black and white, and never until now, on the eve of important elections, has he ever thought of requiring a good re cord of services in the union cause as a necessary recommendation, Mark the hypocrite.

LaPorto Argus: “We recently designated the Rensselaer Sentinel as a Republican paper but, of course, we meant the Standard. The Sentinel is a first-rate Democratic paper and richly deserves the support of the people of Jasper county. McEwen, we’ll never do it ugain—never." All correct. We supposed it was an unintentional error, but could not permit it to pass without correctionJustthkikl—The disgrace!! Upon the rigid enforcement of the nationul electiou taw the radical committee depend for success in 1880. Sweeping changes tire to be made among the Federal officials of South Carolina, chose now in posltfou there being charged with either timidity oi affiliation with Democrats. The same process will bo instituted in other States, aud only such as will strictly carry out the programme of fraud aud corruption coucoe ed by the committee will be assigned to duty.

CoMswof—The idurtt Family, and Juvenile Quartette, who have won golden opinions from the press and public as the Juvenile musical mirth makers, presenting a most unique, chaste and elegant entertainment.— Their reportyire embraces many of the choicest gems, glees, choruses, solos, duetts, trios, quartettes, and most laughable character sketches.— Their Juvenile Quartette is the youngest ever produced or presented re the musical world, and is composed or four children, ranging in age from 3 to 8 yours, singing their separate parts perfectly and independently, and they are justly styled, by the public, the musical prodigies of the age.” The Montieelio Herald aud other radical pnperes me publishing a letter purporting to have been written by a Mr. Murray, in disparagement of Mr. Voorhees and other prominent Deiaocrats. They claim for Mr. M. that he is tin Itulinru Deiuojerut. The iCtter was not written in Indiuua, but boars date at Washington, and if indited by its reputed authors is evidently an outburst of irritation, produced by heart disease inspired by “nope deferred.” Can’t inuko my thing by the publication of such epis tics, old pard, better copy that of den. Butler on the same subject, evidently not a product of the same in spirations, if you would give your readers facts.

Judge Baldwin of Lugausport, and Dr. Wm. Spencer, of Monticello, have opened a banking house in the latter place. Both gentlemen are reputed “solid” financially, by those having opportunities for knowing. They pledge themselves, personally, and as bunkers, to abstain from speculations at every kind, and declare that “not a dollar of our banking funds will be invested in any other than legitimate bank busiuess.” They consider that “the risks of taking care of deposits and repaying them on demand is all that a sound bank can offer to take." and will therefore pay no interest on deposits. All in all, they seem to have a very correct idea of what constitutes safe and legitimate banking principles.

In the radical Biographical Dictionary, Moseby, the rebel guerilla, Postmaster General rebel Key, rebel General Longstreet, and a host of other rebels who have not had the manhood to withstand the temptations held out by tho radfeal conspirators to seduce them, are designated as loyal citizens and fit recipients of honorable and profitable positions under tfea prince of frauds. Per contra: General Ewing, Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, who did good service for the Union, and. Gen. Rico, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of of Ohio, who Lost a leg while keeping step to the musie of the Union, are denounced by the conspirators as enemies of the country, and Fraud Hayes, Cowboy, Sherman, Moseby, Key, Longstreet, Lize Pinkston, Ai.~ Des Jenks, and lesser radical lights declare that the whole power and patrouage of the government must be concentrated to secure their defeat. Thanks to a Democratic Congress the Uniied States army and marshals are prohibited from service \n the nefarious schemes of the radical bummers and liars to perpetuate t ieir power.

The Nitger

If the following had originated in a Democratic paper? But it didn’t. Ii is from a deeply-dyed-iu-the- wool radical newspaper, the Lamar (Iowa) j Sentinel, headline and ail: While the amiable idiocy that pro vailed in Congress during the reconstruction days was at its height, the nigger was enfranchised. He was invested with the ballot on the pretty theory Hint he was a man and a brother, with an infusion of sand in his make-up.

It was given to him on the schoolgirl notion that affection for the party that gave him his freedom wo’d make him its perpetual instrument. But the nigger is less serviceable to the republican party as a voter than he was as a slave. He needs too much coddling—loo much piotectiOD. He cun only vote the republican ticket when surrounded by a cordon of republican bayonets. He has no grit in him. There is more voting energy and party strength in a dozen raw Irishmen than in a thousand well-fed niggers There is not an ounce of Stalwartism in a ton of nigger. The more nigger the less strength. As a slave the picturesque misery of the nigger was an unfailing armory of party weapons—as a freeman there is no romance in him—cowardice is not romantic. Ail over the south he is throwing his ballet forjrebels and traitors, when he votes at all. He is too cowardly to vote for his convictions, or too stupid to have convictions. When Stalwarts get into power in 1880 he must either be disfranchised or compelled to vote right. The free nigger is a fraud.

Delinquent Tax-Payers Take Nottce!

ADAMS, Treas’r Jasper county, Ind. ■ ■ «>► ■ - - The Fr. nkfort Crescent says: “Resumption has been achieved,” says rhe Cincinnati Commercial. It has? Where?

We have all the evils or returning to a gold standard —decline in values, depression of busines, suspensions, etc., with none of the benefits of resumption, That’s about the size of it.

NEW GOLD MINES NEAR ELIZABETIITOWN.

we had the opportunity of interviewing Dr. Kelly, one cfftlie lucky protectors of the Rio Colorado, Wsbv week, and in course of conversation from him the following facts: He and his partners, Messrs. Mnrpliy and son and Mr. Atkins, left Jasper county, Ind., March last and proceeded directly for the placer fields they are now located on. They have received a discretion of the country from a friend, anil being old Californians they drew a favorable inference from this description, and started in to work with a confidence of ultimate success which still possesses them. At first they prospected the hills ahd gulches for lodes and found several, both of silver bearing galena and gold quartz. Near a two foot crevico of decomposed quartz carrying gold, they prospected the gravel and found in one pan eighteen “colors.” This xvas pretty good and they innnediatly set about prospecting a bar containing a few acres, which lies between the gold ledge mentioned and the river’ From Indiana Gulch, on which they have their claim, they made a ditch across the bar and ian a ground sluice in several parts of the bar, and it has prospected well throughout. They have worked a ground sluice up Indiana gulch some 60 feet and found good pay tliore. On a hill on the other side of the gulch they have also found a good prospect. The precious deposit is found in coarse gold or small nuggets. Being desirous of first ascertaining the extent of paying ground, they have devoted their attention thus far to prospecting, but now they are satisfied—more than satisfied that they have rich ground—so work in earnest will now progress. They are very sanguine n regard to their quartz lodes, but with a small capital they do not see their way to develop them, while they can successfully work their plucer ground at once. Of course the amount of prospecting they have compare i with the scope of country is tri. fling. These mines are about nine miles from Elizabethtown, and whatever mineral wealth is found thereabouts, and business transacted there, it will be tributary to the nearest substantial town in Colfax County. The discoveries made by Messrs. Kelly & Qo. hold out a fair promise for further pros" peeling in that country. — [Cimarron (N. M.) News and Press.

RAILROAD LETTER.

The following letter from Fort Wayne to the Rochester Sentinel is a reply to the article hen<l< (l -‘A new railroad scheme,” which was published in that paper week before last and copied in Thk Stani>ari> last weekFort Watnb, July 14, 1879. F,ditor Rochester Sentinel:—While in the main, obliged to you for the matter of your editorial in last Saturday’s paper, entitled ‘‘A new railroad scheme,’’ I feel it to be due to the citizens of Fort Wayne, that they should be set right in some matters about which yon seem to misnt derstand them. They have not been, as you say, hitherto indifferent about railroad connection with the rich district or country west of us, between the Wabash river and the P., Ft. W. &C. railroad. On the contrary, they were mainly instrumental in causing a line to be surveyed on the route as far west as Rochester, more than twemy years ag». At the time es that survey, however, railroad building was a very formidable thing. A capital of not less than three millions of dollars being then deemed requisite for building a road of the standard guage across the state, as against about one-tenth of that amount for a narrow gauge road across it at present. Nor, has this great difference in cost of construction and equipment been the only check upon, the wish of our people to build this road? Unfortunately for them, they some years ago took upon t.hcmsclves : the whole burden of railroad building in Allen county, and to-day bear a burden of more than $400,000 of city debt contracted for railroad building in the county, and while the county at large collected an aggregate railroad tax of $27,762.68 in 1878, the city realized but $5,483.94 from the same service, whilo of this last named Hum only $360.85 was derived from the four roads lor which her large bonded debt of s4oo,ooohad been contracted. Under these circumstances it is not strange that our city should be a little slow about entering upon further eitterprises for railroad building. In fact, it may be assumed that she will not further burden herself tor the benefit of the eotmty at large. Even if our city had been willing to go farther, it would probably have been unavailing, as a further material increase of her debt, would probably have so depreciated her bunds as to make them hardly saleable. There is, however, reason to believe that '♦'bile fair city cut do nothing more for railroad building, the county may be relied on 1

for doing what may be required for the construction of the road west, through Rochester to the state line. A county vote for a subsidy of $200,000 in aid of three new roads, viz; one through Rochester to the Tllinois line; one to Terre Haute; end one to South Bend, would be abont $5,000 each for the nineteen townships outside of Wayne, while the balance of the anvount would fall upon the city and Wayne township, and such a vote there is strong reason for believing could be secured for the three roads above named. Very respectfully,

RAILROAD NOTES.

Work on the Narrow Gauge—A Trip to Bradford. Delphi Times, The progress of tracklayers on the narrow gauge has been delayed somewhat by the storm of last week, but they have steadity though slowly advanced. To-iay they will penetrate the bowels of Mt.Pisgah. at Pittsburg, and the work will be concluded, so far as possible previous to the completion of the bridge across the Wabash. A large force of men are at work on the bridge, and nothing preventing, it will now progress rapidly toward completion. The Wabash, however, is a very uncertain stream, and it is impossible xo tell what obstacles they may have to contend with. Gregg & Bulger yesterday made a shipment of 125 barrels of flour over the road at a material saving in tho matter of freight. The question of a switch at Pittsburg is one which agitates the good people of that borough and perplexes the management not a little. The grade of the road is fifty feet or more above the level of the town, and just how to get down without involving too much expense is a conundrum for the engineer to solve It is now proposed to place the switch head just above the tannery, and skirt the brow of the hill to the west, making a steep descent, but one which takes the oniy advantage of the provisions of nature presented. A tank has been placed at the Bragunier farm, one mile from Pittsburg. The establishment of a station at Goslee’s awaits the necessary formalities. The station will undoubtedly be located, but there are some formulas yet necessary before it is done. Nothing has been heard from the Postoffice Department regarding the establishment of a postoffice at that point, but there can scarcely be a reasonable doubt that the numerously signed petition will be favorably considered.

The regular mail and express train will commence running from Pitts burg to Rensselaer on Monday, the train leaving Pittsburg at 3.30 p. m., aud connecting with trains on the State Line at Montieelio and on the L. N, A. & C., at Bradfoid. The train flora Rensselaer will arrive at Pittsburg at 8.30 a. m., and when the road is completed to this city, will connect with the 8.45 train west and the 9.13 east on the Wabash. It will, from present appearance, require about six weeks to complete the bridge across the Wabash. But never mind! We will enjoy that great jubilee yet! A correspondent sends the following account of a trip over the line to Bradford:

Delphi, Ind., July 16, 1879. To the Editor of the Tlmest The General Manager of the t, D. &C. railroad, i. e. Col. Yeoman, called me from my usual avocation on yesterday morning for a trip of pleasure and profit to the road and myself. At eight o’clock, a. m., the sturdy engine, “Rowland Hughes.” gave forth her challenge to the echoes of the hills and valleys which furnish a background to the first mile of the road just west of the treacherous Wabash liver; and then amid the “pish,” “whish,” and clang of the bell, all famfliar sounds to the employe of the railroad, we moved steadily and slowly through the defile, and once on top of the grade, she began to show a clean heel and a merry clatter as we sped over the track. No incident marred our progress until near the Tippecanoe river bridge, where a slight wash-out had been caused by the recent copious deluge, a messen ger from the planet Jupiter, so our sage scientists would have us believe; but, the scientists to the contrary notwithstanding, willing hands blade short work of unloading two carloads of gravel. Then awavwe went again and over the “A Brace Bridge,” which so securely spans the beautiful Tippecanoe river, and with a shrill “hallo” the Rowland sounded the challenge to the sixty feet grade and bade the tax-fighters take notice that she ttill breathed forth the vapory notes in Kindly tones and wished for the time to come when they, like true, honest men, would hand over the lucre w* ich furnished the sinews for railroads. Although the law withheld for the timo the performance of the paying deed, yet patience, perseverance and the nerve of the General Manager will see them tread to the music of the union, etc. A short stop at Montieelio; then, like the famed Arab steed of old, the ’’Rowland” breathed two shrill notes of alarm and away we sped as if blessed with life, and desiring to show our Delphi friends that narrow gauge engines were made for both draSjt and speed. In a short while the thriving town of Bradford loomed up in the distance and nearing the crossing of the L. N. A. & C. railroad, Supt. Millikan, by a skillful hand at the lever, made a “running switch,” passing our three flats to the right while the ‘ Hughes” remained on the main track. Soon the regular passenger train of the road from Rensselaer an ived and our volunteers having loaded two cars with iron rails and other supplies, the engine sounded her bell and whistle, aud out of the town, homeward bound we sped. No incidents of moment oe curred on our journey, and at three p. m. we a ighted again at the ravine near Pittsburg, weary, warm, yet withal well pleased and cont nt with the privilege gained, and satisfied that;the road-bed will need but slight further work to render it perfect and safe. Altisonant. THE DELPHI AND INDIANAPOLIS. The corps of surveyors on this line are inaidng slow progress. There is all the difference in the world between a preliminary survey and a locating survey. In the latter the progress is necessarily slow. On yesterday the corps had reached Pickard’s Mills, a point at the junction of the threo counties of Hamilton, Tipt'bn and Clinton, and about thirty-three miles this side of Indianapolis. After they strike the old Michigan Road, in the vicinity of Michigan town, the progress will bo more rapid, and the boys may confidently be expected home in three weeks.

The health of the eorp® ha&rrot been the best. When a short distanee out the'whole gang, with the exception of the engineer and ax man were badly poisoned by vines, so that they were compelled to lay by for four days. !Now, however, they have afl recover ed, and are pushing this wtjy as fast as the exigencies of the case will permit.

REMINGTON NOTES.

The young man who does the heavy articles on the Reporter is terribly anxious for a “Coronet” band, “Coronets” are good enough in their place, but it is doubtiul whether there are any thoroughbreds in Remington whose right it sto wear them. However, trot them out and the pearls may possibly be converted into money. Other towns are satisfied with a Cornet band. One government saloon closed up, preparatory to being converted into a grocery. Only two more to be heard from. So much for Jimmy Dunn’s labors. The Temperance Festival at the close of Dunn’s meetings, last Thursday night was a grand success. Ice cream, lemonade aud cuke vanished fearfuliy fast, and money flowed fn ditto. The receipts were something over SIOO 00, to be used in defraying the expenses of the series of meetings. Remington is painfully quiet just at present No drunken rows, nosquabbliDgs, apd not even an occasional dogfight to mar the peace and harmony of this sober community. Cox has settled the muss between K»tt and Guy, by ‘taking it all on himself.” Well that’s the way the darkey did.

Wm. A. JONES.

From the melodious screeches that float over the evening air, jt would seem that a brass band was being sprouted in this town. If Gabriel does not give forth any more harmonious toots, when he takes his journey, the dead will be very shy of waking up to follow him. That they will awaken there is no donbt but as for following after such discordant caterwauls tnat is out of the question.

The Hathaway Elevator is being repaired and renovated, so as to be in readiness for the comiug grain season. There has been a difficulty in reach, ing our Cemetery ever since it was located, especially in times of high water and muddy roads. The town dads have surmounted that difficulty now, by purchasing a right of way through Powell’s addition, commencing north of the termination of Ohio street and crossing the creek east to the Cemetery. The stream is to be bridged, and as the road runs over nigh ground.the track will be good at all times.

The farmers who sowed wheat last fall in this section are highly pleased with the experiment, and the feeling is becoming prevalent, that in time to come, when the soil becomes more thoroughly subdued and cultivated, this will be a very fair wheat growing region. Should that prove to be true many thousands of dollars can and will annually be saved x’ound about Remington, whieh are now and have been for years sent abroad for flour. Our merchants pay out from $50,000 to $60,000 yearly for flour alone, which money ought to be saved for use here. The great question of the day is to decide whether Morgan and Legg do business in Rensselaer aud board in Remington, or merely board in Remington and do business in Rensselaer Who knows?

Death has again entered in our midst and removed one whose loss will be sorely felt and deplored, not only by the stricken family, but the entire community. Mrs. S. M. Black died about 2 o’clock Sunday morning after only two days illness. The news of her death was a shock that sent a gloom and sorrow through the hearts of all who kaow her. In the church of which sho was a member aud in society she was ever in the front in deeds of charity and everything that had for its object the eleyation of the human family, and in ministering to the sick and the afflicted, she had few equals and was excelled by none.— Her bereaved husband has the heartfelt sympathy of all the numerous acquaintances, and she is sincerely mourned by every one, who has for the few years past been wont to see her, ever active in the discharge of Christian, family and neighborhood duties. The funeral on Tuesday afternoon was more generally attended than any ever before in Remington. During the services all the busiuess houses were closed. All three of the Cherry boys are home, having been summoned from Nebraska by the. death of their dear mother, Mrs. S. M. Black. “Gaiks.”

The Americans are familiar with this sobriquet of General Andrew Jackson: yet very few know how it was earned by the old hero. The following explanation may be regarded as authentic, as it was derived originally from General Jackson himself, by one of his messmates during the Creek war. During the campaign which included the battle of Emuekfau Creek the army was moviug rapidly to surprise the Indians, and there were no tents. In the month of March a cold equinoctial rain began to fall, mingled with sleet, which lasted several days. The General was exposed to the weather, and was suffering severely with a bad cold and sore tnrout. At night he and his staff bivouacked in a mud dy bottom, while the rain poured down and froze as it fell. Some of his escort, finding that he was very unwell, became uneasy about him, although he did not complain, and laid down upon his blanket by the camp-fire with his soldiers. Seeing him wet to the skin, stretched in the mud and water in his suffering condition, they determined to try and make him more comfortable. They cut down a stout hickory tree, in which the sap was rising, and peel ed the bark from it in large flakes: cut two forks and a pole, hod down a floor of bark and dead leaves, and roofed it, and closed one side, or rather one end, of the structure against the wind with bark, and left the other end. open. They then dried their blankets. and made him a paller in the tent they had constructed. They woke up the old General, and with some difficulty per suaded him to crawl in. With ftissuddle for a pillow, wrapped up in thedry blankets, and his feet to the fire, he slept snugly and soundly all nighlj well cased in hickory bark.

“OLD HICKORY.”

The next morning an old man from the neighborhood came into camp with a jug of whisky, with which, after imbibing quite freely himself, he gave the military party “a treat” as far as the liquor would go. He seemed to be a kind-hearted, jovial and patriotic old fellow—a sort of “privileged character” in his county. While staggering about among the campfires, full of fun and whisky, he blundered upon the little hickory-bark tent, which immediately arrested his att£niiou. After eyeing it a moment he exclaimed, “What sort of an outlandish Indian fixiu’ls this?”and gave it a kick which tumbled down the queer-looking structure, and completely buried the old hero in the bark. As he struggled out of the ruins, and looked fiercely around for the author of the mischief, the old toper recognized him and exclaimed: “Hello! Old Hickory! come out of your bark and join us in a drink.” There was something so ludicrous in the whole scene that respect for his presence and rank could not restrain the merriment of the spectators. He very good-humoredly joined in laughing at the mishaps. As he rose up and shook the bark from him, he looked so tough and stern that tluyall gave him a hearty “Hurrah for Old Hickory!” This was the first time he ever heard these words, which were afterwards shouted by the millions of his countrymen whenever he appeared among them.

Boots and Shoes from Negroes Hide.

Rochester Democrat. The Penny Prea» says that Dr. Schneider haß taken the skin of a negro, which he has dissected, to the tannery situated on .Franklin street, just out of Columbus, where it Is now being made into leather. A reporter who examined the piece of skin found it extremely tough and liable to do good service if put into gaiters. It seems strange use to make or humanity’s remains, though. The tanner stroked and twitched it, and dilated upon its good qualities. The process of tanning is to rub it with a mixture of alum, salt and eggs, which draws out all the oil from the skin and saves months of time. Perhans a new industry is opening in the eity, and perhaps some of those who are perfectly worthless in life may be made to do dutj after they have quit. Imagine the sensation, however, of a dainty lady caressingly putting on a glove made from the skin of a darkey she wouldn’t have touched without a shudder while in life, or of the tho’ts that must come to-a maid when she takes off her gaiters at night with the knowledge that even so small a part of a man is alone with her. Ugh!

The Tipton Times puts it this way: “Oh. yes. We had forgotten. But while we are thinking about it, how does it come that a rebel officer has been employed by Hayes to codify the army regulations? Why is a keeper of Andersonville prison employed by our purely Republican government in the treasury department? Why is Louis Schade. the volunteer advocate of Wirtz, who was hung for starving Federal soldiers, drawing Government pay? Why is the rebel general, Keyes, postmaster? Why—? But there are so many questions of this sort to ask, and only one answer to give. The Radicals are obliged to lean on the South for brains to carry them through.” Artificial ice in Florida costs about 70 cents a ton.
