The rally at Goodland on last Sat urday was a success. Voorhees and Brown addressed an audience of two or three thousand with unmistakable effect.

Gov. Hendricks dissected the political body of Garfield in a recent speech at Indianapolis, and confirms the general belief that it is one mass of corruption. The learned doctors of the radical party have been put to work to upset the theories advanced by Gov. H.. but he is sustained by facts that oannot be set aside.

The torchlight parade of the Hancock Guards, Wednesday evening, in point of numbers, neatness of uniform, the order and decorum which prevailed in the rnnks, was a surprise to all parties—gratifying to the Democracy, and stunning to the radioals. No effort had been made to secure such a turn-out, only the word that the uniforms had arrived and a drill was in order. A number of the Barkley Township Hancock Guards joined in the exercises, and added to the interest of the occasion. The republicans are now straining every nerve to boat it.

The idea of John Boroughs as a leader iu politics reminds us of a bantam rooster trying to teach a flock of ducks to get their subsistence from a dunghill.—Republican. Ah, yes. The poor devil who, in the absence of the editor of that paper, displays his brilliancy in productions like the above, seems; to be sensibly reminded of the occupation of John two years ago when, on raotionjof Hon. R. S. Dwiggins, he was selected

by a republican convention to act as secretary of the republican central Committee, and his pupils of that day, including the author of the above, are now by appointment,Agoing over the county instructing those Who may hear them in the nutritious qualities Of a dunghill diet. Oh, ray! “Th e idea!!*

It is a little hard wnß.o MeEwen we think that Nickel siioi.lcl pledge the public printing to the Remington Reporter in case of his election to o * flee.—Republican. We should think Bro. Corkins wo’d rest easy oil our account if his candidate. Powell, has such a sure thing as he pretends to believe. Evidently our neighbor is more —bent iu the interests of Powell, than in tho success of all the balance from the De Golyer bribe taicei dowu. Ah! Cor kins, if you suppose the people of Jasper county arc such fools th it hty do not penetrate your motives iu giving publicity to the above you ire mistaken in their make up. You ire not so sharp as you might be. and bey are far more intelligent than you «‘cm willing to concede, is the wav the matter stands now’.

THE “REBEL DE T. ”

•Says the New York Evening News: ‘ln the light of the following facts, it •'ill be seen that talk about payment >f the rebel debls is nonsense. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution says: **** * * . * “Section 4. The validity of the pub lie deb\ authorized by law, includ ng ing debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing* insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." ’’But neither ‘he tJnited States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim lor the loss or emancipation of any slaves, but all such debts, obligations and ciaims shall beheld illegal and void.” That absolutely precludes the payment of the rebe debt because specifically prohibiting it. Now it is not possible to change the amendment, for the reason that article 2 of the Constitution says: "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessa-

ry. shall propose amendments to the Constitution; or, oa the application of the legislatures of two-thirds < f the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, iu either case, shall be valid, to all intents and purposes, us part of this Constitution, when ratified, by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three-fourths theieof, as the one or the other mode ot ratification may be be proposed by the Congress.” It is folly to talk about getting twothirds of the Suited States Senate and United Stales House of Representatives to propose a change in the Constitution, so as to permit payment of the rebel debt, and the greater folly to talk of throe-fourths of the states agreeing to such a change. In his letter of acceptance General Hancock says:

“The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to tiie Constitution of the United States, embodying THE RESULTS OF THE WAR FOR THE Union, are inviolable. IF CALLED TO THE PRESIDENCY, I SHALL DEEM IT MY DUTY TO RESIST, WITH ALL OF MY POWER, ANY ATTEMPT TO IMPAIR OR EVADE THE FULL FORCE AND EFFECT OF THE CONSTITUTION, WHICH, IN EVERY ARTICLE, SECTION AND AMENDMENT. IS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND.” General Hancock could not make the announcement ot his support of the amendment which forbids payment of the rebel debt more emphatic and public than he has done, nor would his positive declaration on the subject in his letter of acceptance be strengthened by repetition. Beyond this, the people find in his character the assurances they require They know the truth of General Taylor’ s remark in the celebrated "Allison let ter”—“One who cannot be trusted without pledges, caunot be confided in merely on account of them.“ ”

Died— At the residence of her pa rents, in Remington, Saturday evening, September 11th, 1880, Susie May, second daughter of Esau and Julia Hart, aged 13 year* and 10 months. But a few days ago the dear one was full of life and activity,and gave promise of a long and happy future.— But that fell disease, Erysipelas, claimed its victim, and she who was the loved and the pride of her {family —loved by her mates and esteemed by all who knew her—is now we trust with the angels. A gloom o’ercasts the countenances of her associates* and a void is created in the family circle, that can never be filled. None

knew her but to love her.

“I have left the corrupt old hulk (the republican party) forever, and burned the bridges behind ms.” Such is the substance of a decla ration repeatedly made by Charlie Hopkins in his speeches two years age. Now we find him back in “the corrupt old hulk,” lending his support to a presidential candidate as corrupt as “the old hulk” itself, and to what is his change to be attributed? The reasons he assigns are not good. Some of them are contradicted by General Weaver and Mr. Harper, whom he cites with a view most probably to gull others. They are shallow and thin and lack sufficiency. A Straight Greenbacker. Charlie Hopkins’ card is being circulated by the radical eounty committee as a bait for gudgeons. There are none now left to bite.

Remington Items A few Republicans, headed by the Remington Cornets, inarched down in the brush last Friday, and listened to short speeches and comic songs.

Miss Susie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.E. Hart, died last Saturday evening, aged about 14 years. The funeral services Sunday afternoon largely attended. The Democrats turned out en mass • to the rally at Goodland last Saturday. The time of year has come when renters begin looking out for a plaee to stop, and we understand John Powell has concluded to remain where he is. Sensible. Nothing like speaking in time. The Catholic Fair furnishes the lovers of rmusementaplaceto spend their dimes this week.

Mr. Ira Kingsburry has returned to this place after spending a few weeks in the west. Samuel Blaek and wife will start for Colorado some time this week. Mr. Corkins, of the Republiean, took as conspicuous a seat as possible down in the brush last Friday. William Butler is visiting friends at Richmond. The temperance meetings here are losing interest during the ctmpaign. It is an every day occurrence to eee blue ribbon boys behind the saloons drinking beer. The people over here are giatifled to learn that Chas. Hopkins was honored with the office of Secretary of the Greenback county committee. - The information was obtained from Charlie’s card. Who wrote it? It reads like a joint production, andha s the Thompsouiuu and Spiderian ring in every line. ' A Democbat, .-♦♦*- If you want a dress suit call on Jones the tailor.

—Ed Rhoades and bride, nee Mis# Lora Hopkins, of Rensselaer, were in Lite city Monday enroute to Chicago. —Delphi JournalIf you want any kind of a suit call on Jones the tailor. .<«». — - —The executive committee of the soldier’s reunion to be held at ington, Oct. Gtli and 7th propose a cor. net band tournament on the 2nd day of the reunion and offer prize of S6O to the contestants.

You are entitled to bounty. Call on John F. Boroughs. Room 3. Makcever’s Block, —Our popular young prosecutor comes not alone this time. A beautiful lady accompanies him, claiming protection as his wife. Shake, my friend. Accept of the Era’s congratulations. We wish you a long, happy* prospermia life. —Fowler Era. If you want anything in the way of clothing made to order call on me. I will sell cheaper than anybody else. T. M. Jones. —Dr. I. B, Washburn, sijperinten. dent of the poultry department, lias notified the officers of the Agricultural Society that be will need not less than one hundred coops for the use o! his department. This proves that the poultry show will be the largest ever seen in northwestern Indiana.

Any one with an eye to taste and style, can see the difference in clothes made by Jones and those made elsewhere. —A new hall 24x72 feet has been constructed bj the Agricultural Society 011 the Fair Ground for the ex. hibitiou of farm Machinery. The entire space, more than 1,700 square feet is already contracted for, and the exhibition of machinery will be the most extensive ever displayed in the county. Now is the time for bargains iu the merchant tailoring line, for I will sell and make up suits to order cheaper than ever sold before in Rensselaer.

I mean what I say.

—lt is proposed to have the Garfield Guards and Hancock Guards of Jasper county join and attend the soldier’s reunion at Remington as one command. The same, it-*is believed, will be done by those of tlje other three counties and therewill beagrand torch light drill and parade the night of the 6tn.

If you want a business sujt, Jones will fit you out in a tip top one cheap. I will sell suits to order from $5 to $lO cheaper than you buy elsewhere. Come and try rife.

—One of the mammoth pavilions that was used at. Chicago at the receqj; triennial Conclave of Knight Templars —a canvass covering 2,500 square feet —will be on the Fair Ground at Ren* sselrer during the Fair and used for a dancing hall The music will be provided by the Mozart Orchestra of Lowell, Indiana. For stylish and fashionabl* suits, made Jup in the stylo and cut of the present day, call on Jones the tailor. —F. R. Donnelly, of Remington, will be Drum Major and have charge of all the martial music at the soldier’g reunion at Remington, Oct. 6th and 7th. All organized martial bands and all unorganized fifers and drummers who will attend with their instruments are requested to report to him in person or by postal card. It is the purpose of the committee to organize on the camp ground the largest martial band ever seen in Indiana.

GABFIELD. (Sew Yoifc Sun.) When stalwart saints with fright grew dumb, As Ames bis fatal thrusts sent home. Who raised the book to kiss —his thumb? ’T«»i Garfield. Who said, nay, swore on sacred book, Unbribed was he, yet bribe took? Who lied, who brazened while he shook? ' Why Garfield. In evil day when Force was lord. And toots were sought to shape the Fraud, W'ho stood so ready at the word. As Garfield? Swept on with T me's remorseless flow, Chained to their crime, these uuir.es shall go; Wells, Chandler, Aliunde Joe Ar.d Garfield. Au evil rec< r 1 uuforgot, From head to heel besmirched with blot, And now a candidate, heaven wot! Yes, Garfield! A word with yon,the pestilent rout Of lobying thieves who scheme and tout. Frauds high and low: Step down and out With Garfield.

De Golyer Garfield Pleads His Cause (From the Albany Argus.) Garfield *n his armchair seated, while repose his eyelids greeted. Dreamed that he would be defeated, which must surely come to pass. When he woke, there stood before him one. who no devotion bore him, But was half inclined to gore him, through hts front of solid brass; ’Twas Columbia, lovely lass! When he saw this scornful lady, though his heart ■ wes sore dismayed. lie Spoke, and deep obeisance made he, as he told her of his fears : •’Tell me," said lie, "is my dreamt eg something more than empty seeming? Will there come to all my scheming such an end as now appears : " •raid Columbia, “That day nears!', •-But,’' he urged, “will nolliing soften people I h • ve served so often. iltil to -ve me in m.v cbifia, cold and dead and quite alone “No.” she : aid; “your nomination puis yon now iu sii. h a ; talion That the (.oitiitry's elevation waits till you are overt sin: We shan't take you as a loan?” ‘•‘Why,” l>c a-dud. “am 1 degraded? Can't the people be persuaded, Ere my qnt •“ '.gave is spaded, just to take me as a fee? Why inconiwicutlv drop me; why severc’y clip and crop me. Shear me, shave me. cut. and lop me, when so useful I could be?” “Talk is very cheap,” said she. “But the party,” then he argued, “will be wretchedly embargoed, If I thus am Wells-aud-Fargocd, by a short and speedy route. To a doleful destination; It will lose its vindication." “That,” she said, “this healthy nation can endure beyond a doubt, And I know what I'm about.”

The interest in the Soldiers’ Reunion to be held at Remington is not confined to the four counties named on the bills, us appears from the following in the Lafayette Conner ot 14th inst.; Soldiers’ Reunion The soldiers of Benton, Newton. Jasper and White counties have completed arrangements for a grand dis trict rs union ot Remington, Indiana. October 6 and,7, and invite the soldiers of Tippecanoe and otl e adjoining coanties to join with them. The names of Judge F. P. Hammond u» president, Dr. J. A, Hoth, of Kentland, as secretary, Dr. William Spencer, of Monticello, as treasurer, Dr. D. H. Patton, of Remington, as chairman of the executive committee. Capt Frank W. Babcock, and many other prominent men on the subcommittees, ai\? a sufficient guarantee that the reunion will be a complete success. The . xm-utive com mittte. in fiict, declare, it their purpose to spare neither labor no: <x pense to make it the crowning event of tiie season. A gr ind prize drill, cornet baud tournament, and a gi gantic sham battle are among the inter* sting features on th. programme. n the sham battle four battalions of in an try, a bat'alion of uniformed cat tdry and a battery of artillery vvili participate. All the Hancock and Garfield Guards in the four counties will lie there in uniform, with torches for a grand night parade. Our friend, James F. McCord, will please accept thanks sot basket cf fine peaches. GRANT On the Spirit Pervading the S«uth- The Best Witness in the Republican Party. Going to and returning from Mexico last winter General Grant made a tour of the Southern states. Ilis arrival in Illinois was emphasized by a speech in which he said:

“I* may bo appropriate on (his occasion to ivfor to my nip through tinSouthern states and to ,vhat I have settn while traveling. I have been gratified at my reception in all the recently rebellious states. I passed from Philadelphia to Florida on my way to Havana, and on my return came via Texas from ' Mexico, thus passtng through all the rebellious states, and it will be agreeable to all to know that hospitality was tendered me at every city through which I passed and accepted in nearly all of them by me. The Union flag floated over us everywhere, and the eyes of the people of those states me as familiar with its colors as yours, and took upon it as guaranteeing to them all the rights and privileges of a free people without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude. In most of the states, upon the reception committees, side by side, were men that wore blue and men that wore gray, and reception addresses were made in part by those who wore the blue and those who wore the gray. We have no reason to doubt that THOSE WHO WeRE THE GRAY WILL FTLFILL ALL THEY HAVE PROMISED IN LOYALTY TO THE FLAG AND NAT ON.”

Garfield’s Petty Warfare on Hancock Baffled.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Winfield Scott Hancoefc will be the next President of the United States. It is written in the book of fate, and there will be no electoral tribunal to reverse the returns, Hancock was born both handsome and iucky. He is a man of destiny. Why, just look at the r *cord. In 1868 Garfield „ro’t a bill into Congress to drop the junior Major-General. That was Hancock. It passed both houses of Congress and was signed by the President. But before it could be carried into effect George H. Thomas, the senior Major-General, died, and Hun cock going up one grade, was no longer the junior Major-General, and so the law could not reach him. Then the Republicans, still lsd by Garfield, passed an act reducing the MajorGenerals to three. This was signed by the President, but before it could be carried into effect Meade died, and the Major-Generals were reduced to three by God Almighty. Finally, a law was passed authorising the President to drop one of the Major-Gen-erals. Before it could be carried out and Hancock could be dropped, Halleck died, and Hancock becoming the senior Major-General, he could not be dropped, The man who survived all these attempts to retire him cannot be retired. The man who led them—Garfield—will, as a fitting consummation of his act, fall a victim to his intended victim. Hancock will be elected Garfield will be retired—at least from the Presidential field.

We congratulate the country upon the honest; nnd thrift of a Democratic Congress, which has reduced the public expenditure $10,000,. 000 a year; upon the continuance of prosperity at home and the National honor abroad, ana,- above alj. upon the promise of auch a change in flic administration of the go, -eminent as shall iiifnre a gen nine and lasting reform in every department of the public service.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

i. the Democracy of Indiana, in Delegate <on re n;ion assembled, congratulate the Deihocrac of Dio country upon tie harmony prevailing witnni us organization, and upon its unanimity in t .te purposes to cast behind it every eccasioii : scunment of discord, and to stand as due man lor sue, ess in 18s#); and ve -.-ire assurance to the le-aiocracy of the country that, accepting the declaration of principles, and purposes, that may be made at Cincinnati, and the candidates who t.i, be there chosen, wo will give to them our earnest, and undivided support. '* *■’ believe tiiat laws should be enacted, executed and administered only for the public good, tino a.l class iegislalion. and all favoritism in the aJluirs ol Government. should be defeated and matteouions; that taxes should be levied justly, if‘‘ 'nc mo t ri _id economy should control public 1 expendmir s; that the elections must be freed lroni the control of the army, and of partisan officials, in i ha: they shall be fair and honest as they ‘’ uco were: that the rightful jurisdiction of the blate C onrts must, be restored, in all cases where it has been usurped by the Federal authority, so ilmr. jn-uc.> maybe administered cheaply and speedily. ' corn and paper money of the country should bo of uniform value, and readily convertin.o, anu should have as great purchasing power ''' • a.*, money of other (irsi class commercial • pun; nes <»i the world, and the paper monev, like i uc imin, should fie furnished by the i Tailed States, - u;l should not he in excess of such qnantitvas ' v i' : be. -mtl remain always, at par y, itit'coin. si. Inasmuch as the outstanding Treasury notes arc no longer necessary to the Government in the use ol ns credit, and are useful only as money, T ‘*ey shorn t, be made subject to taxation, the same as other money. ; , As tax payers, we declare our gratification at Die action of the Democratic members of Congress in reducing public expenditure, and in cuti i mg oil the allowance and payment of questionable and lraudulent claims, resulting in a savin" to I the Treasury of more than 000,000. 5. We will stand with all our might against the aggression of the Republican leaders "upon the rights of the States, made for the purpose of building up a strong central power, dangerous t. n't he liberty of the peopie. ; We trill in all fidelity maintain the Constitutional rightsand powers of the United States, and a_s faithfully w© will maintain and vindicate the rights oi the States as reserved to them in the Con stitution. 0. T.lie Legislature of 187 b is entitled to honorable mention for having redeemed the pledges of the Democratic Convention of 1876 to provide by law for the comfort and safety of laborers in the mines, andfor securing their .wages to the persons employed by corporations, and we arc in favor of such further legislation in 'the premises as may lie necessary and proper. We congratulate the people of the State that by the action of the Democrats of the last Legisla

tnre in basing representation on population and contiguity of territory only, the shame and taint ol fraud have been removed from the apportionment of representation, and that now the people will tie equally and fairly represented. 7. The people of Indiana are justly proud of their system of free schools, and will maintain them in their full foree.and usefulness, and to that end we must see to it that the management thereof does not become wasteful or extravagant, and that no part of the mnniticent fund which they Mve provided shall he used for sectarian or for any other purposes whatever than the support of common schools 8. We are gratified that the Democrats in Congress have acted in respect to bounties and pen sions forsoldiesand their families in the spirit of justice and liberality. !>. We hold up to public detestation the conduct of the leaders in the Republican party in placing llayes and Wheeler, by criminal practices shocking to every hotiest sentiment and damaging to our institutions, in offices to vt hich they were not lee ted. It was an outrage upon fret.-'government, ; and a crime against the elective franchise that can not be forgiven, and must not be repeated,and S for which the guilty parties must he driven from I power and consigned to infamy. And we hold up to public detestation tw conduct of the President in rewarding the guilty parties by conferring 1 upon them high and lucrative offices. To reward i crime is itself criminal. / 10. During the past few years our country has been blessed in a high degree with favorable seasions, and the production of our valuable staples has been enormously in excess- of our own consumption. We have sold to forei n countries many hundred millions more than we have purchased' from them; gold and silver has come to ns; business confidence has been restored, and we have the hopeandpromi.se of good times again. In ail this wcrecogJßizo the blessing of God upon our country, and we denounce it as false and blasphemous when partisan leaders claim that j this is the work of their hands, and that the people should be thankful to them and not grateful to Heaven for our returning ptosperit. .

11. We approve the sentiment expressed by Governor Hendricks in his letter of acceptance in 1870, t hat “the iniquitous coolie system which, through thengency of wealthy companies imports Chinese bondsmen, establishes a species of slavery, and interferes with the just reward of labor on our Pacific Coast, should be utterly abolished.'" 12. Our State adnuni*'.ration Is entitled to the respect and support of the people. The governmen* of Indiana is efficiently administered, and more cheaply thiyi that of any other Slate. 13. That we recognize the right, of colored citi‘ zens as well as white to immigrate Into Indiana, but we condemn and denounce the action of the Republican party in importing into this state pauper negroes for the sole purpose of using tin m as voters. 14. We hereby insaruct our delegates to the National Convention at Cincinnati to present to that body the name of Thomas A. Hendricks as a candidate for President of the United States, one who has at all times faithfully maintained the cause of Democratic truth and justice acceptably to the Democracy of the whole Union, thus assuring the election of a Democratic Legislature and United States Senator in 1881. and a fresh, pure and eon stitutional administration of the General Government. 15. We favor the continuance of the two-thirds rule in the National Convention, and tliedMe gates this day chosen are hereby instructed to vote for lion. Thomas A. Hendricks as our candidate for the Presidency, and to vote as a unit on all questions in said Convention.
