Judge Hammonc was recently presented with a hansome set of triple ok-siands and a beautiful statuette or the Godd#ss of Justice, by the contractor and wonknaen on his new evidence as a token of rheir esteem. And Grant, too, has the conceit and audacity to declare that he hopes the necessity may not occur thab would require a third term for him to display that peculiar “nerve” which iadionl Sonator Sharon says ho is endowed aVith.

As President, ho would be commander in-chief of the army and navy,” says Radical Senator Sharon, and would rule with a kingly hand over the sovereign people in the interest of tho capital of the country” which “demands protection,” as “tho wealth of the country has to boar the burdens of government, and should control it.'’ The yeomanry of the land are law-abid-ing, and will repudiate the men and the party that utter and endorse such sentiments.

R. E. Spencer & Co. have received another invoice of fresh eandies.

The Republican Platform.

[Extract from an interview with Senator Sharon, of Nevada.] We need a stronger Government.— The wealth of the country demands it. Without capital and the canitalist our goveanment would not be worth a fig. The capital of the country demands protection; its rights are as sacred, as the rights of the pauper 3, who are continually prating about the encroachment of capital and against centralization. We have tried Grant and we know him to be the man for the place above all others.He has nerve. As President he wo’d be commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and when the communistic tramps of the country raised mobs to tear up railroad tracks and sack cities on the sham cry of “bread or blood,” he would not hesitate to turn

loose on them caunister and grape.— The wealth of the country has to bear the burdens of government, and sho’d control it. The people are becoming educated up to this theory rapidly and the sooner this thhecry is recognized in the constitution and laws the better it will be for the people. Without bloodshed, and rivors of it, there will be no political change of administration. The moneyed interests of the country for self preservation must sustain the Republican party. The railroads, the banks, the manufacturers, . the heavy importers, and all classes of business in which millions are invested, will maintain the supremacy of the Republican party. Democratic success would be bankruptcy to them. To avert fearful bloodshed, a strong central government should be established as soon as possible.;

There can be no change of politi- | cal administration without bloodshed and rivers oft it,” So says radical Senator Sharon. But then this lionaire braggart will not be found at the front. R. E. Spencer & €o. is the only Arm in town that make fresh Butter Scotch, and Ice Cream Candy and Taffy. Mr. J. A. Cutler, of LuPorte, is canvassing this county for Fruit Irens.

GREENBACK CONVENTION.

The Jasper County National Greenback Convention met Saturday, January 24th, at the Court House, in Rensselaer. The meeting was called to order by Dr. S. W. Ritchey, who nominated Mr. Wm. Pierce as Chairman of the Convention. Mr. Pierce was elected by the unanimous vote of the meeting, and prefaced his official duties with a few brief remarks concerning the motives of the organization. E. R. Pierce was elected Secretary of the Convention. Members of the Jasper County Greenback Central Committee were elected, as follows: Hanging Grove—John R. Gray, Bbenezer Peregrine. Gillam McCaynnd Mason. Walker Loronzo Tinkum, John L Hershman. Barkley—Lewis Davisson, Geo. H. Brown, Sr. Town of Rensselaer—T. P. Wright, Samson Erwin. Marion—David H. Yeoman, O. K. Ritchey, Jordan—George fleidzinger, A. B. Clinton. Newton—Jas. Yeoman, Alfred Ramey. Keener—Albert Brooks, Pat’k Melaney. Kankakee—G. W. Cantwell, Thomas M. Jones. Wheatfield—J. M. Helmick. Augustus Stinson. Carpenter—Basil Hunt, E. E, Rockwood. Remington—D. H. Patton. Christopher Hardy. Milroy -Peter Foulks. Jas. H. Benson. Cnion—Chas. W. Harrington, Rob’t Swaim. The officers of the Central Committee were next elected. Jas. Bum ham was elected Chairman, and C. 'h Price, Secretary, Dr, Ritchey then introduced the following resolutions:

l. Resolved , That tho old fogv iden* fora “sure specie basis” for acireu lation, floating three dollars i n paDer °. n one of cos >i is a humbug, a delui sion as must appear uvid out to every .intelligent, thinking m’.nd, and so long as we practice on this principle we may expect nothir.g but periodic j flushes and crashes; expansions and | contractions; good times and hard i times; the rich all the time getting I iiclier, und tlie pc ; or poorer.” I ie,sot ? it is the sense of this meeting, that the two or three thousand National Banks now in existence be wound up as their charters expire, and U.ieir circulation be sup plied by no - n-interest-bearing legaltender government notes. 3. Resolved, That the national debt should bf) paid according to the ori ginal contract as speedily as it can be without detriment to the public interest; but, if the bondholders refuse to receive legal tondoi government notes foi the bonds, then let the government purchaso with her notes I silver bullion, and authorize the free 1 and unlimited coinage of that metal, j ana pay the bonds according to the I late contract or understanding. 4. Resolved, That wo demand a I

faithful oi nest and impartial administration of the government in all its departments, extending even to its lower ramifications; and in order to this, we must have free general education, as only an intelligent and educated people can long maintain a republican form of government. We must also have free and honest elections. Every citizen must be allowed to vote his own choice or conviction, uninfluenced by mobs, threats, or the military on one hand, or bribes and rewards on the other. The man who would offer a bribe, and the man who would receive it should both be disfranchised, and declared unworthy the name of American citizens; and we denounce the men who would stuff the ballot box, or in any way interfere with it so as to change the honest expression of the people’s voice. The party that would sanction such outrages, if in power, should be hurled therefrom, as unworthy the confidence or trust of a civilized people. The foregoing resolutions were applauded to the echo, and unanimously adopted as the sentiments of the meeting. C. H. Price, James Burnham, and E. R. Pierce were then called for by the Covontion, and responded In afew remarks befitting the occasion. The Convention was undeniably a success. No funeral dirge was snug—no defunct party committed to the grave. At least one Republican editor is a false prophet. The outlook for the National Greenback Par ty for • RBO is a bright one. Each member of the party in Jasper county is expected to work diligently in the coming campaign. The Convention adjourned after passing motions to have vacancies in the Centra! Committee filled by that committee; to have a member of the townihip .committee appointed in each school district, and to request the Secretary of the Convention to furnish copies of the proceedings of the meeting to the Indianapolis Sun, Chicago Express, Democratic Sentinel, of Rensselaer, and the Rensselaer Republican.

SUPREME COURT.

As things are running* 'why not change the Constitution and make this Court a part of the law-making power? Now, before a, law can be passed, it has to receive, the sanction of the Legislative and Executive departments of the Government? Why not add the judicial? then we mayknow, when they all agree, that we have a law that will stand, and not be liable, after great expense of labor, time and money of two of the grand divisions of the Government, to be overthrown or nullified by the counteraction or decision of the oth< jr, as is now the case.

There seems to be something incpnstent/if not ridiculous, in the idea of a government with three “co-ordi-nate” departments, and at the same s-time one, have the power to override and nullify the actions of tho othersIt is an absurdity which we think the framers of our institutions never contemplated. We think such action of 'the judiciary a mere resumption of power not authorized by the constitution. But it has been yielded to. or tolerated by the people from the commencement, till now it seems to be the settled conviction o-f almost all our citizens, that this is the law of the land. Jefferson in llis day denounced the supreme court as a set of “miners and sappers” that would Ultimately undermine or overthrow the liberties of the people- The U. S. court, and the State courts, are no doubt composed of the best, lawyers in tlie country,generally. The members of the Supreme Court of the United States at the time -of 1 lieu appointment are the favorites of the President, in power, and, who eo’d expect that they would rvot be mo: re or less partisan ! In political questions we may expect thf>m to favi lithe party views. Look at Maine, now. Look at South Carolina. Loc >k at the Dred Scott decis ion,” and tl le favorable Greenback d eeision of tine United States court, and now tl he same party are for a different decision from the san\e court übder a different necessity. We say maJ <e these courts a part of the law-ma, Icing power, or eonfir t e them to the legitimate business of deciding cas< ?s arising under the acts of Congress and the Legislat- ares. They should not be allowed to decide politici il questions. Thi g vvas the opinion o f Thos. H. Bento and many others ij i his day. • j

If the people continue to yield to the usurpations of the court, they might as well ha ve a king or dictator at once, as one head could be more readily got at than a number When a bill is introdubed in either branch of Congress, involving any constitutional question it is generally submitted or referred to the “judiciary committee,” composed of the best lawyers in the country. They examine it carefully in all its bearings, and recommend its passage. It then gees through the same process in the other house and passes. It then goes to the president who, with his advisers, carefully considers it.— The president signs the bill. It is then a law. He and all concerned are sworn to support the constitution. A case comes up under this new law, and is carried to the supreme court. They dispose of the case at once by deciding the law or act under which it arose “unconstitutional,” and consequently null and void. This is the end of it. and the act is dead, according to the sense of the people. We say, with the Chicago Times of the 24th January, “that members of Congress should act independently of the action of the court.” We say Congress should act on the currency questions, and all others, without any waver as to probable court decisions. We*tnust cease to tolerate this airogaut assumption of power on the part of the court or oui liberties will soon he gone, and we shall be doomed to live under an absolute tyranny.

1880 TIIE! 1880 Indiana Weekly STATEJEHTOL ‘Enlarged, Improved. SI .00 Per AnnumTHE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. PROSPECTUS FOR ISBO. The coming presidential year promises to ho the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, and twill determine questions of the most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation. It is not improbable—indeed it is almost certain that, upon the determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free government. These questions will be thoroughly discussed during the prescut session of Congress. The Sentinel bus arranged for a first class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, and in addition to giving a true account of all the general proceedings in that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent, statesmen, und without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tlia Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement,{making in all Sixty Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentiuel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelligence, to do its whole duty in affording information to its subscribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As in ’Tti so in "80 Indiana will be called upon to take a first position in the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most portentous ever submitted to the arbitrament oi a free people. We shall also specially cull attention, from dav today, aa occasion may require, to an entirely New Piiask in the politics of our Statc—we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the Sontli into Indiana. 'The managers and leaders of the Kcpublican party, in our State and at Washington, ure now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed to convince our people of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred and prejudice have fallen harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars and mendicants to override the voice of the people of (he State, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, the picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in .Indiana is thus made up—not from the II miters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that party, but is composed of a motley, parti colored gang wretched field negroes from the South. The troth and scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of maiiufacturingpartymajorities in a State, we shall at all times ive the latest and most reliable intelligence.
