Oxford Tribune: There is a lively prospect for the building of the con tinental railroad from New York to Omaha. —« • A bill to make keeping a gambling house a felony, punishable by two or five years in the penitentiary, has passed the Missouri House. The Arkansas Legislature has passed a bill appropriating SIO,OOO for the establishment of a Normal School for the education of eoloiod tea.' era. In the passage of the electoral count resolution in the United States Senate, six Republicans voted with the Democrats for the resolution These were Allison, Blaine, Booth, Conkling, Hoar, and .Tones, of Neva da.

The following notable words were used by Senator Carpenter before the Electoral Commission of 1877: I do not appear for Mr. Tilden, but for 10,000 legal voters of the State of Louisiana, who, without accusation or proof, indictment or trial, notice or hearing, have been disfranchised by four villains incorporated in perpetual succession, whose official title is the Returning Board of Louisiana. They are well worth repeating and remembering. They should have an nihilatedthe pretensions of Mr. Hayes then and there. Peter Cooper’s idea is that the Government should issue its own currency. “These notes,” he says, “mav be redeemable in coin or receivable at Post Office Saving Banks, where a rate of interest is paid that will keep, them at par with coin. Why not use this currency to buy gold and silver bullion and coin it, and with this coin, and with the hundreds of millions now idle in the Treasury, pay off the bonds falling due as fast as possible, and thus stop the interest on them, and relieve the people from the debt entirely?”

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, recently declared on the iloor of the Senate that Jay Gould, Thomas A. Scott, William P. Huntington, William H. Vanderbilt and John W. Garrett, controlling the great trunk lines, can meet together at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City and in a five minutes chat levy a tax upon tho commerce of the country of $500,000, 000 by simply raising the tariff of freight two cents a bushel upon grain and do it according to law. These five men wield a greater power over the commerce of the #ouctry than congress and are to-day monarchs over all they survey.

Tbo Philadelphia Times very judiciously remarks, that “nothing could be better calculated to prove to the people that the National Banks are an enemy to the payment of the Nationul debt and the lessening of the public burdens than the ill-judged haste of certain bankers, as much interested in politics as in banking, to array themselves against the Dill providing for the payment of the heavy burden of interest at less rates than we have been hitherto paying. J The recent action of the National Banks is well ealculated to create alarm, and, as Senator Plumb, of Kansas, says, if the banks are to control the Government, it ia high time the people should knew the fact.

The Chicago Times saya: “In the Senate chamber General Burnside charged a corrupt motive upon General Logan, and General Logan re torted upon General Burnside with the remark that if, and so forth, General Burnside was falsifying. Whereupon General Burnside reiterated his statement that the Illinois Senator was moved in his opposition to the sixty surgeons bill by the influence of claim agents. And General Logan thereupon did not give the lie direct to General Burnside. All of this passes without comment because the participants are products of Northern civilization. Supposing such language had passed between the Brigadiers ! Fire and fury! how they would have been denounced.”

A Republican writes to the JT. Y. World from Cincinnati in compliment and approbation of its efforts to “bring into the domain of what is known as “practical politics”|the three very important questions of free ships, a revision of the tariff, and civil service reform,” and says that if the Democratic party will distinctly enunciate these points as cardinal in its creed it will “not lack votes to put them in power.” The writer has not evidently been a general reader, or he would have known that these features are distinctly enunciated in the Democratic creed. He writes further; “The stand you have taken cannot but command the respect of those who find it impossible to maintain a

very deep .in Mr. Blaine s “baiting the brigadiers,”, and Conkling’s “squabble over the lew York Custom House.” His further contention is th it the Democrat’s offered nothing in tie last con vase but this: “General Hancock for President instead of General Garfield.” The letter is noteworthy only for two things —the symptoms of the drift ol' serious public opinion in the west, and of the p irblindn* ss of some people in great emergencies. Here is a man w iom it is fair to infer was oduca ed ii the republican faith, takes eo cm* :o inform himself of any other, and only stumbles on an exegesis of a contrary one too late for his enlightenment in time to practically cast oil his bedraggled garmei»* and clothe himself in another and a living faith t'-doient of cleanliness and good works. He confesses the old fetich is mi i trapping, indeed, discouraging, but slotufully refuses to look out a new way and thus make himself an intelligent, sensible and Useful citirx n. llow many more such men there are in this country, blind and follow itig blind guides from habit instead of judgment; it would bo impossible to say, but we venture a number far inexcess of those who were misled through John Kelley s‘ treachery into keeping the country under the rule of men who incite to nothing more ennobling than ‘ Mr. Blaine’s baiting the brigadiers, and Mr. Conkling's squabbles over the New York Custom Bouse,” or, iu others, the words ol Flanigan in t,'he-Chicago Convention : “What are we here for but tii• offices ?“

If anything were wanted to show that the Republican party, body aud breeches lit lias no soul,) is under the dominion of capital and corporations, it could be found in the administration of Hayes, the perfidious fraud who. God be praised for rolling years, is about to step down and out of the White-House. Among his recent acts,is th# nomination of Elliott I'. Shepard for the office of District Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Mr. Ballot'd, of Colorado, offered a reroiutiou in the house o f Representatives, calling upon the Attorney General and Commissioner of Internal Revenue for iaTormuth n regarding suits against railroads for the collection of internal revenue tax. It seemes that William H. Vanderbilt is a large owner in railroads that are endeavoring to defraud the Government out of their internal revenue tax, and if Hayes’ nomination is confirmed, the man Shepard, who will hay©' entire control of the suits, will help his millionaire father-in-law in these swindling transactions. The nomination of Shepard bears all the ear-marks of a bargain and stile, aud Hayes is probably richer thereby.

Montice.Ho Herald; A cyclone struck the Rensselaer Sentinel office hist week, knocking the material into first-class pi. MeEweu bravely stood at his post and endured the racket, escaping with slight injury. Ah, Billy, there is not a word of truth in it, and you have laid yourself open to be written down an ass, by our amateur friend across the hall, for the construction you have placed upon the product of his mighty genius. “What did he mean?” Well’ he can’t tell that himself. We sup pose he was attempting to get oil it httle sharp, humorous pleasantry, for, after laughing immoderately over his own wit, he Stated out to enjoy the sight of others iudulging in sidesplitting laughter over it. But it proved for him vexation of spirit. He was asked by those he met to read it for he wished it to be understood, and soon returned, “mad as a sandy boar of Gil boa.” denouncing as ignoramuses those who were unable to arrive at an intelligible ‘Understanding of Ida item.

Eggs are the brain producing diet of our neighbor across the way. He had for some months been paying the price announced from week to week in the Sentinel. The reduction in price as noted by us last week threw Mm into a lit of ecstatie joy, and, presuming that we had all along kept the price up on him ne closes an enthusiastic haranguc| with: “We cannot account for the change in anv way except that Mac has Dyed the form.” We arc glad our neighbor is happy, aud shall take pleasure in noting further decline in price, in older thai he may be supplied with brain power at the lowest possible rates.

Mrs. Mollie Uts, a widow, of New Albany, is undergoing the singular process of ossification. The disease attacked her fingers, and lias proceeded nearly to the elbows, the flesh, muscles and arteries all turning to bone. Mrs. Utz complains greatly of her heart, and often, falls to the floor from suspended circulation. The case is the first of the kind that ever occurred in this part of the State } physicians say.

A novel case of blood-poisoning is reported from Richmond, where Richard Jackson died from crushing a, po-tato-bug in his fingers and afterward touching the inside of his ear, from which he suffered for twelve months, losing one hundred pounds of flesh.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence of "The Sentinel.’" Washington, Feb. 26.1881. Before this handwriting is a week old a good many anxieties will have ceased to worry—the new adminis tration will be an accomplished fact and its chief clerks will be known. — After Mr. Blaine, in the State Department, public opinion is at loggerheads whether Chief Justine Folger, of New York, orsorne other man, will commiQ i the treasury portfolio. It is a somewhat remarkable coincidence that all the possibilities canvassed fjr these head clerkshis are tainted, like- their chief, with some one or other of the numerous and corrupt jobs which made the history of Grant’s reign a scandal and a reproach. Judge Folger was one of the Tweed Senators in the New York legislature, and has a claim pending against the Government of SIBO,OOO for handling revenue stamps during a six months service as Assistant Treasuter of the United States in New York. Th# whole republican party is so honeycombed with this class of statesmen that it is hnrd to make up a slate of even seven or eight to form a cabinet council and not fall athwart of atleust'Six of such out of the eightPity ’tis, but true nevertheless. The Funding bill h«s encountered •i now’ snag. The nalional banks are generally arrayed against it because they are required under its provisions to n ice the new three per cents an 1 substitute or hypothecate them with the government rs security for their circulation afid reducing their capital and circulation in proportion. As the mass of those institutions at ihe north purchased their bonds at hi immense discount, their apology for this course does not measure up to a rational'or just cause. It is beloved that a iatge body of the debt now drawing five and six p#r cent, can be funded at three, and it strikes me that interest and patriotism alike ■justifies the measure. There was a well-defined feeling that would have ■ been formulated into action by Con gross to relieve these banks of the

tux upon deposits. It seems an imposition and hardship to amerce these institutions for accouwnxlatiug the public in taklDg their money audjaeting us a public cashi#r gratuitously. B.iU do they so act? It is well known that a large source rs a bank’s income is derived from these deposit#, a id they have been thus quite well remunerated for their trouble. A large per cent age of deposits are available for discounting purposes. With the improved financial condition of the country and its steady advance to a vigorous pr#perity however, the demand for discounts have greatly diminished, aud thi*, perhaps, is as mush a controlling reason for reducing their capital and abridging their circulation. , The requirement to substitute the threes for ftv# and six per cent, boride, and the equivalent loss of interest to be drawn thereon from the government, opens the door for the plea they make, and they imagine that the other reasons are not discerned by the people or by Congress. In my judgment, nevertheless, they should be relieved of the tax on deposits, especially as they are no longer so remunerative a source of '.heir profit. I suggest that they wo’d fare better if they would mix a little modesty with their appeals aud modify their blustering attempt to intimidate.

The fate of the Apportionment bill, as 1 write, is equivocal. The largest latitude, compatible with the time left for definite action, has been given tiie republicans for debate mid* consideration. At first they affected quite an amiable temper towards a reasonable settlement. Then Conger 3«ma back from Michigan, flushed with his success in being chosen as successor of Chandler in the Senate, and being by nature crooked and combative, he got ids partisans together and whooped them into antagonism to the measure. God knows tho House is too large at 203 members, but to make an equitable distribution and secure the fullest representation under the census of 1880, that is; leave the fewest large fractions unrepresented, 307 was found the fairest. The republicans demand 310, their avewed reason being that at 807 .Southern representation would be increased, and to that extent imperil the tariff. That is trumpery, of course, tho real purpose being to prevent the passu, e of any apportionment and thus necessitate an extra session of Congress, so hungry are they lo find places for the additional number of their dependents which a renublicati organization o the House would give them. Such men as Hawley, of whose class there are too few-, and such journals as the New 1 ork Times, sustain the bill agreed upon by the Committee aud reported by Mr. Cox. committee has-been a reed upon to harmonize the conflict of opinion, but at this writing they have accomplished nothing, and I am realiy apprehensive they will not. The River and Harbor bill, growing ponderous as the days elapse, appropriating for everything and anything that shows a semblance of water—aye, and for where water ought to be but is not, as Belford of Colorado wants an appropriation to bore artesian wells in his State. How he pro poses to make them navigable when they are bored ho has not so far vouchsafed. There are meritorious objects for appropriations in this bill, but far more that are not. I cannot write further on this topic, for I have already, I fear, trenched on my walcome.

You have heard of course of the death of Senator Matt, H, Carpenter. There has gone a man who is a public loss. Stubborn repuolican as he was, he could not brook a palpable wrong even though it enured to party advantage. His speech before the electoral commission in February, 1877, when he told the foul majority of that body that if they decided that they would not consider the evidence of the palpable frauds of tho ‘Tour villains,” as he termed the Louisiana Returning board, they might “as well sit down and write a license to pos terity to perpetrate all the frauds that lugenaitv and self-interest can suggest,” i 8 one that will live in history.

BANGS.

To our sight there is nothing sadder than to see a sane wontan with her hair bang’d. A lunatic might be excused for such a style of hair dressing, but, how a woman, in full possession of her faculties can adopt it, is to us a profound mystery. From whence came this style? Who originated it? Who set it afloat?— No one on earth can truthfully say that it is beautiful. We have never heard that it was healthy. Neyer

heard of itouring the liver complaint or the rheumatism. It daos not render the parson any more liable to draw a prize at a lottery. It does not. in#ure the wearer against being di owned, or struck by lightning, nor does it protect from the arinoyance of washing machine agents. It does not make a tall woman look short, nor a short one look tail; neither does it make a fat ons look lean, and if it is at all besoming to the human face, then that face has escaped our notice. It will mstamorphose the prettiest girl outrageously, and as for its effect on a homely woman—may tne saints deliver us from euch a sight! It sets our teeth on edge to think of it. It imparts to the average female • face the most discouraging, woe-be-arone, done for-geu-rally expression that we have ever seen; as if the person had played her last card, got suckled,and was re dy to sell out cheap to the first purchaser. Justimagine lady Washington with ut-r hair bang’d! Think es Barbara Frichie, with her hair bang’d, waving the flaginSten *- wall JaCkson’s face! Picture to yourself Joan of Arc, with bang’d hair, leading her troops to victory! A woman iu this style of hair arrangement resembles a Sheland pony not well groomed, and in douot about its dinner. Bang’d hair gives the wearer an expression of uncertainty as though she feared the thatch upon her forehead might not be securely fastened. We commiserate the woman whose nair is bang’d. Her countenance bears the impress of trouble, and we feel like asking if there s anything we can do for her. We would not offfr her a subscrip tion paper, in aid of suffering exodusiers, for the world; or be glad if any one trod on the trail of hsr dress or squirted tobacco juice on her velvet mantle.

We look at her and wonder how she would appear with that mask removed from her forehead. Her forehead is to us as profound a mystery as fortune-telling, or necromancy, or materialization, and we get so full of doubt that we would give a lialf-a-dollar to see the fringe lifted. We wonder if she ever admires herself in tlie glass; if she thinks bangs ate bewitching; if she ever wishes she hud not cut h#r hair off and con tlemned herself to wear it thus. We wonder if her husband admires it; if he sneers at it from behind his newspaper; if he ever tells her he wishes she had as pretty a§ forehead as Mrs. S . We wonder if he ever calls her an angel, and thinks how an angel wo’d look in bangs. But then what is the use of conjeotming. Fashion is omnipotent, and so is folly, and we do not doubt that somewhere in the world to day some people are saying— “ Bangs are so becoming.” Those who mind their own business ha ve a steady job that pays well. The difference between a woman and an umbrella is that there are times when you can shut up an umbrella. Tnere is a growing interest in literature, science, etc., among tho young people who attend the public schools. Hanging is a capital punishment, especially when you are hanging on some good looking fellow’s arm. “No girl gets along without a moth, er,” says a paper. This may be tru but hereabouts girls seem to thin*they can’t get along without a motherin law.

Somehow men are given to loading themselves down with things they have no use for. Some keep a dog, others carry canes, and now we read of an editor having a pocket-book. Young man have you allowed tbat new leaf you turned over New Year’s day to flop bach and show the sld blurred page of last year? Answer truthfully. Somebody says that hugging sorrow is not the way to lessen one’s troubles. True; but there are soma poor fellows who have nothing eUe to liug. Visitor.

Monticello Herald: The Herald was in error last week us to Irvin Greer being released from liability on ’Wilson’s bond, though such was the current report at the time of our publication. The petition referred to as granted by the Supreme Court was to allow Mr. Greer to join in tho appeal with the other bondsmen, kis name having been omitted originally.

Oxford Tribune: A dastardly attempt was made to assassinate Mr. John Dougherty, of Boswsll, Tuesday night. Mr. D. was reading, when a shot was fired at him through the window, the ball striking the windowsill glanced and (lodged in the ceiling. Mr. D., not suspecting the shot was fired at him, started to investigate, A second shot struck the hinge of the door, a third the casing of the door through which he was passing. No arrests.

Monticello Herald: The engineer corps has completed the surrey of the I. t D. & C. between Delphi and Indianapolis, the tine running thr’o Frankfort add Kirkland in Clintoa eounty, and Joliet in Hamilton county, crossing the LaFayette and Indianapolis read about seven miles this eide of Indianapolis, forming a connection witht the L, B. & W. Railway at tbs insane asylum, thence on th& t track to the IJnion Depot. It now begins to look favorable that at no very distant day this part of the state will be blessed with another railroad. The Indianapolis Journal of the I9th rnst., contains the following in reference to it: “Articles of a»sociation of the Brazil & Chicago Air-line railroad, running from Brazil, Clay county, through the counties of Clay, Parke, Fountain, Warren and Benton to Rensselaer, in Jasper county; wera filed with the Secretary of State yesterday. The capital stock is $500,000 and the kirectors are: Hiram Teter, Thomas Watson, Wm. H. Zimmerman, Ensign Bennett, Wm. M. Ridpath. and Donald B. W. Crinnon.” With nroper effort on part of our citizens there is no good reason why this road should not run through Remington.—Rem ington News.
