Sit&on, whotna jor Bitters? ■ • <«»•»• i Butter Scot li, at R. E. Spencer & Co’s. * Plow work a specialty at Roberts & Bro’ablacksmith shop. None but tlie best Of material used. Oysters, by ean or dish, at R. E. Sponger & Co’s. Remember tjie Blue Ribbon entertainment to-morrow evening.

Take your plows to Roberts & Bro. They are now ready for that kind of work. The K. of P’s of Rensselaer, are making extensive arrangements for a grand Masquerade Ball on the evening of the 23d. The preparation in last week’s Re publican, concocted v/ith a view to produce a military record for our Simon, is a very bad decoction of Bitters. Clark & Mayhew have a lot of now furniture which they will dispose of at bargains in order to close out stock.

R. E. Spencer & Co. have received another invoice of fresh eandies. We are removing our office into room No. 4, up stairs, Makeevor’s block, where our friends are cordially invited hereafter to call. — Take your plows to Roberts & Bro.. and have them sharpened and put in readiness for the spring work. At the residence of Tom J. McCoy, Friday night; C. H. Price, Saturday morning, and F. J. Sears, Monday, little “household angels” were introduced. T. J. McCoy’s, a daughter; C. H. Price’s a son, and F. J. Sears’, a daughter.

Every Lady who examines the goods at Fepdig’s exclaims, “O, how pretty! And so cheap!!” Our old friend, Elisha Warden, of Monticetlo, has been engaged during the past week in removing and putting up the Sentinel presses. Before leaving Rensselaer he made some needed repairs on the Safe in the Auditor’s ofice. “’Lisha’’ is a mechanical genius, and no mistake. Attention Farmers!— Spring will soon be here, and now is the time to gather up your plows and take them to the blacksmith shop and have them sharpened aud put in shape for the spring plowing. Roberts & Bro., are prepared to do that kind of work on short notice and at reasonable rates.

Mr. Thompson can go before the radical Congressional Convention the equal in standing and claims of any competitor named, and’tho attempt to manufacture for him a record he doeß not possess, betrays an inexcusable weakness on the part of his friends. record i* a bad dose of Bittors.

R. E. Spencer & Co. is tho only firm in town that make fresh Butter Scotch, and Ice Cream Candy and Taffy.

Dr. S. W. Ritchey will deliver a lecture In tho Egypt School House, on Saturday evening, the 14th inst., on the sociabilities of tho times, normal and excessive, embraoing love, courtship. marriage, &c., with rules by which lovers can be pointed out in a public assembly, or when one of the parties only Is in the meoting. All parents and children are invited to attend.

Mr. J. A. Cutler, of LaPorte, i canvassing this county for Frui, Trees. Those wishing to deal with a responsible man will do well to place their orders with him. On Saturdays ho may be found at Mr. Cotton’s, opposite the Presbyterian Church building, Rensselaer, Ind. Adv.

—Miss Celia Wilkinson, the secretary of the Irving Literary Association, informs us that “the services of the renowned and delightful entertainer, Alfred J. Knight, has been secured as the Knight of the fifth uight of their lecture course. He will bring with him all the “store clothes” of Shylock, Othello, Richard 111., Ham" let, Macbeth, Mark Anthony, Brutus, Cassius, Richelieu, Romeo, and “all them folks” of whom Mr. Shakespeare has told us. These, he will don, one after another, as required in thie different impersonations, with all their costly decorations, jeweled swords,&c. Everybody go and see and hear him at Starr’s Hall, Thursday evening, February 19, 1880.” Ralph Fendig is selling all kinds of Ladies’Fancy Good? at less than cost. Go and see.

The Northern Prison.

A Michigan City correspondent in the Indianapolis /Sentinel tells of several contracts recently made for convict labor, by which the revenue of the Northern Prison was increased over $30,000. Of two of the direct ors the writer says: “Too much can not be said of the olever manner in which Col. Lee and Frederic Hoover manipulated matters so that they would reflect to the State’s credit. It was owing to their ingeuuity and shrewdness that the contracts were let higher than at any other time for years. The people of Michigan City begin to realize that the present board of control, with Colonel Lee a** its president, are making a success of their administration.” General Simon P. Thompson The distinguished gentleman whose name stands at the head of this article announced himself in last week’g Republican as a candidate for the Re-

publican nomination for Congress— The editor of the ’Republican gave a biographical sketch of his life, stating that he was born in Ohio about the Bth of May, 1838. [lt appears recessary that a man to be a successful Republican candidate and receive the support of Fr ud Hayes ami the ar’* ministration, must be an Ohioan by birth.] As to the time of Mr. Thompson’s birth, it is immaterial. He was probably born at a period eight or ten years earlier than stated by his biographer. Another rcasou why Mr. Thompson should bo the Republican nominee, his biographer says, is that he was educated at “Obsrlin College,” a negro institution located inOberlin, the negro’s paradise. His early associations then with the “man and brother,” at tliat sacred temple of learning, would rally to his support all the negroes or this District, and when the news of his nomination is carried to the South, no doubt 1,000 negroes, more or less, would rush to his rescue.

SIMON AS A WARRIOR,

The grandest and richest jewel in the diamond covered tiara of Simon's achievements is his brilliant war record, as given by his historian. Read what ho says:

“The first boom of robel cannon fired his patriotic heart, and he rushed forward to take his place m defence of the Union, but his Tailing health drove him to the rear, and he was compsllbd to give place to others more inured to the hardships of war.” Great God, what cheek! “His fail ing health drove him to the rear”!— No doubt Simon P. wept bitterly when he was “compelled to give his place to others more inured to the hard ships of war.” Ii is, however, a most -uotorious fact, patent to every person in this county that has known Mr Thompson since his residence hero that he has enjoyed unusual good health. He has probably not lost one week’s time in 20 years from sickness. There is not a more robust, muscuiar man—and a man that can endure more hardships—in this district than Mr. Thompson. This story of failing health is a miserable dodge to excuse his stay-at-home proclivities. Will Mr. Thompson or his historian state for the benefit of the public the time and place his patriotic heart was “fired”, and when he rushed to- the defense of the Union, and also give the name of the examining surgeon, who rejected him on account of failing health. The fact is tha first boom of rebel cannon, cooled the fire in his “patriotic heart,” and he rushed to tha rear and remained there. He did net propose to set un his nabla form as a target for rebel marksmen. The roaring of cannon, the bursting of shells, and the din of smaller arms had no charms for our Simon. He was one of those loyal, barnyard pa* triota that staid at home and amassed a fortune out of the misfortunes of his country and his fellow-men. “He chose rather to suffer afflictions” with the school murma than enjoy the pleasures of a military camp for a season.

The Republican leaders are outlining another “bloody-shirt” oampaign, hence the necessity for a man with a military record. They want a scarcoversd veteran to face the Southern Brigadiers, and the Republican is too anxipus to convert General Simon P. Thompson into such a personage.— Trot him out, let the negro iniustrels play “Hail to the Chief,” aud brother Horace, aspiring to be Secretary of State, will please pray.

Hugar, Coffee, Teas and Spiees, at bottom prices, at C. C. Starr’s new Cash Store. The statement was made at thebeginning of the trouble iu Maine that the fuoionists were only proceeding upon the basis of Suprome Court decisions, given on points submitted after previous elections by the leaders of the Republican party, The Augusta Standard has published an example of the way the machine worked in one instance an i did not work in another, the opinions beingrepectively gtven Dec. 22, 1877. and Jan. 3, 1880, as follows:

•‘opinion,” 1877. It is to be regret ted that votes are lost by the negligeuce or town officers. but the obvi ous remedy is,'to choose such as know their duty, aud knowing it, will perform it’ John Appletonf C W. Walton. W. G. Barrows, John A. Peters, Artemus Libbey, J. G. Dickinson Wm. Wirt Virgin.

“opinion,” 1880. The representative is, not to be deprived of his right because municipal officers have neglected their duty. John Appleton, C. W. Walton, W. G. Barrows, John A. Peters, Aremus Libbey, Jos. W. Symonds. Chas. Danfortb.

If correctly stated, two conclusions are inevitable: First, that the Supreme Court knows more of partisan trickery than is necessary to the honest administration of justice; second, that the opponents to Republicanism have no show in the court of final resort. ~ And no wonder the people are losing faith in the honesty and integrity of the judiciary.

A Wonderful Party.

Got. Seymour, in a recent interview, expressed himself thus in regard to the political outlook at this time:

“On the other hand, there is one groat advantage which the Democratic party possesses. It always comes up smiling ufter a defeat. Its vitality is wonderful. It has outlived a dozen opposing organizations, and it has held to its ancient creed while others have caight at every excitement or novelty brought to the surface by events. In the country especially the Democracy have made their adherence to sound party principle as their religion—though in a different way. It is a matter on which they have permitted themselves to become enthusi astic. You cannpt change them. The hard fisted Democracy cling to their faith under defeats and trials, and are withal imbued with sentiraeqtal feeling never seen in the conglomerate rankr of their opponents. The Re-

publicans fall to pieces unless they can be kept at welding heat by pas sion and excitement. If these cannot be kept up against their opponents they break out in tneir own ranks. “Under these circumstances there Is every reason to hope for success of the Democratic ticket in the coming Presidential election. To my mind it amounts to a demonstration that the State can be carried by the Den ocratic candidates whoever they may be. We have had our fight and it is over. There are no feuds or jealousies’ left to rankle inwardly.”

iu rearranging the Congressional Districts last wiufer, says the Delphi Times, Carroll county was assigned to the Tenth, composed of the following counties: Lake, Porter, Newton, Jasper, Benton, White, Pulaski, Fulton. Cass aud Carroll. This is the iarg st district in the State, and one that at the last election gave a Republican plurality of 2.329. The Republican voters are, however, in a minority of 4003, The following is the vote by counties the election for Congressman in 1878: Rep. Dem. Nat. Lake, 1,618 975 146 Porter, 1,351 493 1,703 Newton, 927 434 465 Jasper, 1,060 , 551 493 Benton, 993 977 563 White, 1,333 1.222 598 Pulaski, 715 770 496 Fultou, 1,401 1,389 431 Cass, 2,004 2,639 1,093 Carroll, 1,829" 2,012 344 Total, 13,891 11,162 6,332 W T ith a majority against the Republicans of 4,000, it is apparent that the coming contest is by no means an assured victory for the Radicals’ It can confidently be predicted, also, that in some counties the Democratic voto will be largely increased. In Cass, for instance, owing to circumstances which it is now unnecessary to detail, the vote for Congressman in 1878 was not a fail reflex of the views of the voters. With a candidate acceptable to the party generally, Cass county can be depended on fora Democratic majority of not less than 400, instead of the Republican plurality of 25 shown in the above table. If we are to be successful in choosing a Democratic Congressman next fall in this district, all the elements of opposition to the Republi(ans must be united. Who is the man able to command such unity? If we are to succeed, personal preferences and local prejudices must be aside, and a candidate named who will not only deserve success but se cure it. The handsomest and cheapest Dry Goods in town are at Fendig’s. And don’t you forget it.

An Effective Gate Fastening.

We recently saw a neat, cheap and effective method of fastening gates. It was in use on a ranch in Sutter county, and is we have understood, unpatented, so that, if we can make its method evident, our readers may use it everywhere, says the San Francisco Bulletin. The gate is hinged, and swings in in the usual manner, except that it is best to use hinges which it will allow it to swing either way with equal ease. Plant the gate posts so that the ga'G will swing past. Then take a of inch iron, either square or round. Let it be three times as long as one side of the square scantling used at the end of the gate. Bend it in a forge, to a shape similar to the upper part of a letter T, or like three sides of a square. Cut a notch In the post at any desired height, and fasten this iron in by a staple, so that when lifted up the gate slips past either way, but when dropped it clasps the end of the gate. If properly cut, the notch will keep it from dropping past a horizontal point, and cattle will hardly find out how to open it.

A Drunkard’s Body After Death.

A post- mortem examination of nearly seventy persons who had died from the excessivej use of ardent spirits showed the following facts: 1. Congestion of the scalp and of the membranes of the biain, with much serous [watery) effusion; the substance of the brain white and firm, as if it had lain in alcohol for one or two hours. 2. The Jungs not always, but frequently, congested err inflamed. 3. The heart flabby, enlarged, dilated, and loaded with fat on the outside, the blood in it of cherry-red color, and with no tendency to coagulate.

4. The stomach perfectly white, and thickened in some cases; in others, having patches of chronic inflammation. In the worst cases the larg© portion of the stomach covered with that species of inflammation which causes the blood to be poured from the minute veins. 5. The liver enlarged—in old drunkards weighing from six to twelve pounds. 6. The omentum - a sort of apron which immediately covers the abdomen in from;—loaded with a gray, slushy fat. 7. The kidneys enlarged, flabby, and infiltrated in numerous spots with a whitish matter. 8. The small intestines filled with bile and coated with tenacious mucus9. The blood in a very fluid condi tion, having but little fibr ine, bu much albumen and fat. 10. The whole body, except the brain, decomposing very rapidly. Is it a wonder that “a drunkard has woes?”

Don’t fail to go to G. C Starr’s new store for anything you want in the Grocery or Queensware line, and examine his goods and prices before making your purchases. Standard goods and low prices, for cash, is his motto.

A WINTER TOUR.

Embracing a Trip to St. Louis, thro’ the Sunny South, a Gulf Ride, and Home via Texas, Arkansas, or In dian Territory. The Winter is the season during which business men, and especially farmers, can best afford to leave the wareroom or the farm tor a journey in search of recreation and pleasure, the chief drawback being the inauspicious condition ot the weather for such a trip north ot Mason and Dixon’s line between the months of October and May. This objection is overcome in the following tour arranged for the benefit of health and pleasure-seekers, via PanHandle Route and connections, through Mississippi and Louisiana to New Orear.s; by Gulf steamer to Galvesion, Texas, returning to St. Louis and home yia Pan Handle Route and connections. I Tickets are first-class, and good to return until June Ist 1880, A detour may be made from Houston to the old Span*, ish w nter resort of San Antonio.

Bate for round trip will be from fifty to seventy-five dollars, according to starting point. Hound trip tickets will also be sold to Florida via Pan Handle Route and con* nectiens.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Seven important amendments to the Constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by a majority of the members eleeted to each of the two Houses of the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10,1877, these said amendments are to be submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or rejection, at an election to be held on the first Monday in April, 1880. The law providing for the submission of these amendments to the electors of the State enacts that“the secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper, on each of which shall be printed the proposed amendments, and below each amendment shall be printed the word “Yes" in one line, and in another line the word “No,” that any qualified elector may vote for or against any amendment by depositing one of said ballots in the ballot box. If he intends to vote for any amendment he shall leave thereunder the word ‘Yes,’ and erase the word ‘No’ by drawing a line across it, or otherwise. If ho intends to vote against any amendment, the word ‘Yes’ shall in like manner be stricken out and the word ‘No’left; and if both words are allowed to remain without either of them being so erased, the vote shall not be counted either way. These amendments are designated by numbers, and are numbered 1,2, 3, 4. 5, 6 and 9, numbers 7 and 8 having failed to receive a majority of votes of both branches of the last General Assemblj'. AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend section 2 of article 2 so as to read as follows: Section 2.

AMENDMENT NO 2 simply provides for striking out the words “No negro or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage,” contained in section 5 of the second article of the constitution.

AMENDMENT NO. 8. Amend section 14 of the second article to read: Section 14. All general elections shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but township electiens may be held at such time as may be provided by law.

1880 THHI 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SENTiNEL. Enlarged, Improved. 81 .OO Per Annnm. THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1880. The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, andjwill 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 present session of Congress. The Sentinel has 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, ana without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tim Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement,lmaking jn all Sixrr Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Scntiuel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelligence, to do its whole dnty in affording information to its subscribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As in '76 so in 'BO 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 ot a tree people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely Nbw Phase in the politics of our State —we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The managers undleaders of the Republican party, in onr State and at Washington, arc now engaged in this nefarious work, uua are attempting l>y overy means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed,utterly failed to convince our peoplc'of the correctness o's their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred anil prejudice have falleu harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by uu African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars and men dicants to override the voice of the people of the 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 Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that purtv, but is composed of a motlev, parti colored gang wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless importation are made useof 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 faction. 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 manufacturingparty majorities in a Stale, we shall at. all times ivethe latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal onion, the rights of a lePcople and the Statos, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel as a genetal newspaper are so well known among the farmers of thiß State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, that commendation of it is considered superfluous We will add, however, that the man agement has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its uairons for the money. In its news, its editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading it shall not he surpassed by anv paper circulated m the State.
