Vote for President, 1880.

Hancock, Democrat, - 4,424,690 Garfield, Republican, - 4,416,584 Weaver, Greenback, - 313,893 Phelps, ----- 1,1-'3 Dow, Prohibition, - - 10,791 Scattering, - Total. - - - 9,169,213 Hancock over Gars eld, - 8,106 In the interest of the National Banks Fraud Hayes vetoed the 3 pei cent. Funding bill. - ■> Consider well the amendments before you vote yes. After the ballot is cast it will be too late for regrets. The Narrow Gauge management is reported to nave been transferred to the Chicago & Northwestern K’y Co Next Monday has been set apart to vote upon the Constitutional Amendments. Whatever you do don’t do it blindly. Registration would add, increased expenditure for the people to pa}> and yet we note the radical press urge it on the score of economy. The Indianapolis Journal, radical State organ, urges Republican members of the Indiana legislature to vote down all temperance legislatiyn.

The Delphi Times issued an eight column four page guppliment with its paper of the 4th., rendered necessary to accommodate its advertising patrons The Funding Bill passed by a Democratic Congress, and. vetoed by Fraud Hays, would have saved to the people in the way of interest from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 a year, We have received the“ Fowler Eye” a seven column folio, “devoted to Temperance, Moral and Social Reform, and General Intelligence,' W. T. McNeil, editor. We wish it success. “Indiana,” says the predatory Dorsey, “was really a democratic State, but I bought it for Garfield,” That is the substance of the recent speech of this useful member of the republican party. The republican press of the State are trying to solve the problem: Who carried Indiana? Dorsey, New, Harrison, Dudley, or the eastern corruption fund. We believe the it was the latter. f Henry Foster* musician of the “Standard Dramatic Constellation Troupe,” died at Remington on Monday morning of last week. Schuyler Lodge I. O. O. F. of Remington took charge of his remains and interred them in the cemetery at that place.

No poor man, with his great privileges in view, can vote that be may require a residence in a township 60 days and in a ward or precinct 30 days to secure him his vote. Aside from all partisan feeling, we think the “registry” and the 60 and 30 days residence amendments should be defeated. The amendment ballots are printed on white paper, with the words “yes” and “no” following each pro. posed amendment. Those who are in favor of the amendments will erase the word “no,“ and those opposed to them will strike out “yes.“ A ballot voted without such erasure will be ineffective or equivalent to not voting at all. A registry law in the hands of a party that oould steal the Presidency would but perpetuate infamy. Names innumerable could be registered, and on election day a vote could be mustered for every name so registered. By this means Philadelphia has been carried by radicalism for lo these many yerrs past. Vote, no on such an amendment.

Consider well what may result from the rejection or adoption of the amendments. the ballot it cast it will be too late to consider the propositions presented. Party feeling should impart only a desire for good. If satisfied that good will result from their adoption, vote for them. If there be doubts, vote for their iejection. We can afford to wait rather than to rush headlong in. to greater evils than aow exist. On the first page of the Sentinel last week we published the official vote, of each State, in the Presidential election. The figures showed that Hancock received a majority of 9,106 over Garfield. Now the radical papers are presenting the mere statement, without official figures to back it, of McPherson, of the radical flnan eial committee, whose interest is the same, and who is no better authority than themselves, to show that Garfield is ahead. Too thin. Monticello Herald: Will the Rensselaer Republican please explain what “thing” it is that has become intolererable to Monticello? It says: “When a thing becomes intolerable to Monticello, she tries to palm it off on her sister towns as ‘a man of good moral character.’ Wicked, deceitful and unfeeling Monticello.” Yes, and “wicked, deceitful and unfeeling Monticello” Herald I Would you have our neighbor name his “thing” out and may be get his head “punched”? The item was only intended to secure a little cheap applause for its author—aothing more.

Fowler Eye: “Near twenty children have died with <he measles since that contagious disease struck this city. Our doctors are stiil at varanee as to whether it is measles or scariitina.” Fowler Era: Miss Dwiggins, one of Fowler's energetic and successful school teachers spent Saturday and Sunday in tl e “Celestial cliy,*' visit lng friends.

Oxford corres-poudent in Fowler Eye; Ed Puseupile, of is in town looking for a room in which to start a restaurant and ice cream parlor. Welcome, Toe Fowler Era says that George Meyer of Boswell was lodged in jail Monday evening of last week for shooting at, with intent to kill, John Dougherty, an aged and respectable citizen of Grant township. Too much tangie-foot is at the bottom of it. Remington News: We esunot imagine what has happened to Bro. Cot kins. For some weeks we have failed to get the Republican, and last week one of our citizens getting no less than four copies, all of the same date and issue, What can the matter be?

Our friend John P. Carr has succeeded where his predecessors failed. House Bill No. 81 refunding to Benton county $975 of the expenses of the McCullough murder trial, passed the House on March 4th "1881. Vote 57 to 31. This is a feather n John’s legislative cap. Benton Review: Since red head Gorkins is a candidate for the Superintendeney of Jasper county. We suggest this question: Ts f of the iime past noon is equal to 2-9 of the rime to midnight what is the hour of 'lay? Candidate for County Superintea dent ,eh! Lordy! y, Oxford correspondent in the Fowler Eye:- Our young friend> Frank Foltz, packed his grip and journeyed toward Jasper county, the first of the week, where he will, in connection with his brother in-law S. P. Thompson, assume the vocation of a cattle dealer. Frank will be sadly missed in the social circles of Oxford.

The remarkable philanthropist, Peter Cooper, celebrated his ninetieth birthday, February 12th, by a further enduwment of Cooper Union to the amount of SIIO,OOO. Ten thousand of this is to be added to the golden wedding fund, established by him seventeen years ago, for aiding poor chil* dren. Surely his last days are his best days. —<«»— Kentland Gazette: The charge of Judge Hammond to the Grand on Monday, was very full and expli cit. He dwelt more particularly on the enforcement of the existing laws for the regulation of the liquor traffic, plainly intimating that if the present statute on that subject was enforced as it could and shoujd be it (the law) is sufficient to greatly limit and circumscribe the evil flowing from liquor trade.

Remington News: J. W. Lock and Robt. Shearer started on Tuesday last for France, going direct to New York from thence by steamer to Havre, Mr. Lock is well known to all who are interested in the improvement of stock. He was the first man to introduce the French Norman horses in this section and met with considerable opposition at first, which, how ever, has now all disappeared, and the demand for more is such as to induce him to return to France to make additional purchases of thor-ough-bred horses. Ho expects to return in about sixty days, unless unavoidably detained longer. Kentland News: Mr. Thomas R. Barker and son Samuel spent last Saturday and Sunday at the capitol and drove back to their home in Jaeksou township through the storm of Sunday P. M. Mr. Barker is one of the pioneers of this Iroquois region, being one of the first to biave the perils of a life on the border of civilization. For nearly fitty years he has watched the growth and development of this portion of creation, observing the introduction of railroads, the springing ud as if by magic of towns and villages, the disappearance of the cabin and the substitution of the fine farm house. Generations have come and gone and still he lives to tell of the wonderful strides the country has made. He has been honest frugal and industrious and has not not only been favoured with long life but also a goodly share of earth’s treasurers. In politics Mr. Barker is reliably Hemocra ic and has ever been ready to stand up and defend the party when his services were needed.

Another New Railroad.

At a meeting of capitalists held in this city yesterday a company was formed to construct and equip a railroad to be known as the New York and Chicago railroad, the corporation to have a capital stock of ten million dollars. The road will be two hundred miles long, and will run from the east line of Allen county, Indiana, in a northwesterly direction, via Fort Wayne, to the State line between Illinois and Indiana. JEt will pass thro* the counties of Allen, Whitley, Huntington, Wabash, Miami, Kosciusko, Marshall, Fulton, Pulaski, Starke, Jasper, Porter and Lake. The following are the officers: President, C. S, Brice; vice president, Wm. Fleming; treasurer, Samuel Thomas, secretary, James E. Neal. Directors: Samuel Thomas, George I. Senny, Walston H. Brown, C. R. Cummings, W. B. Howard, Wm. Fleming, James E. Neal, and J- A, Latcher. It will be seen that the incorporat ors of the road are stockholders of the Lake Erie and Western, and that they contemplate making a connection of the two roads, thereby form* ing a through line to New York. -Indianapolis Journal.

LETTFR FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence of The Sesihei. Washington. March 5,1881. This has been a busy, anxious week, and while occasional excitement has marred the even tenor of Congres sional proceedings, anxiety as to the fate of the Funding and Apportionment bills, the former especially, has quiokened the pulse of the outside, waiting world. More of these later on. The sundry civil, the last of the appropriation bills, was safely tided over the shoals of controversy on Wednesday, but not without earnest republican protest against limited al--lowodc6B, so accustomed are they to unrestrained control of Uncle Sam’s strong-box. The River and Harbor appropriation is the blot of the session. Over $11,500,000 was given to this purpose, much of it to improving streams that have no relative relation to Inter-state commerce, and will benefit exclusively but the immediate localities through which they meander. Perhaps, after all.Belford. by his proposition to appropriate money to bore artesian wells in Colorado was not serious, and only meant to burlesque some of these wild-cat ininvestments under the pretexts of aiding improvements of a national character, for he came up manfully to the support ofathe Funding bill in defiance of his party’s caucus determination. Score one good mark, at least to his credit, and credit It also to his earlier training and the better impulses of those younger days before he fell under the evil eye and smirk of the malign Colfax. There is hope for a man who will allow occasionally the better impulses of that happier and purer era of life assert itself. You will have learned, long ere thi3 reaches you, that Hayes vetoed the Funding bill, and on thelflimsiest of flimsy pretexts. There are not a few who believe that he has his quid pro quo for this last kick of his fraudulent incumbency at the people in re sentment of their hearty contempt of him, a 3 of the means by which he got the opportunity to strike them.— The wisdom of floating an enoi raous debt economically, or at a low rate of interest, can scarcely be questioned. The pretence for refusing his assent to a measure that provided for this, in the face of evidence that the new lean would have been readily taken* is too apparent to require comment" The party which Hayes trains with under whatever title it has sailed.. ha s been consistent in its sympathy with and legislation for capital. The Na - tional Banks are the immediate representatives of this element, and in subserving their interests at the cost of the people the rifler of the Executive office and another man’s salary has bean true to his instincts and theirs. The eoursb of the banks - and the action of their tool and toady, Hayes, will do more to give vitalitv and strength to the greenback ele“ment than all other causes combined could have accomplished, Well, the Apportionment bill failed after all. The House, as you will observe, passed one on the basis of 319 members, but it failed to reach the Senate tor action. What with this failure, entailing the cost to eighteen States of extra sessions of their Legislatures, amounting to many mil lions, and the veto of the Funding bill, at a loss to the Government of many millions more, the republican party, at the beginning of a new administration, starts with a heavy load. And yet this is precisely in the line of their precedents—waste, extravagance and peculation. The leopard •anuot change its spots.

But I must mention the inaugura tion, though briefly, as all its details in all their amplifications are already known everywhere. The day was most unpropitious, the crowd excessive and far from orderly. Philadelphia sent the worst lot of it, and the source of more anxiety to the police than those from all other quarters combined. A republican club witli the euphonious name of Harmony, resented cheers for Hancock from some of his thousands of admirers in attendance as lookers on in Washington by breaking from the ranks and assaulting them. It was an ugiy row, but in the interest of harmony the Harmony club got rather more than it went in for. A goodly proportion of them went home with mansards as certificates that they had been to the inauguration.

President Garfield’s inaugural ad dress is generally commended, altho’ two-thirds too long for such an occasion. The general tendency of it, all through its honeyed pUrases, is in concurrence with the republican party’s idea of centralization. With Blaine as its master spirit, typifying the paternal, and subsidies, and all that it is reasonably certain that the Executive power will be wielded in that direction. The republican ma jority is all too small and uncertain in the new House to warrant any large measure of success in that line, how ever. The cabinet is a piece of patchwork, only gotten together after a great deal of finesse, and in contemplation of restoring harmony among the warring factions of the party. It has no particularly great strength, although a tolerably fair combination. The selection of James as Postmaster General, is a small sop to the New Yora Mephistopheles; of Lincoln, to assuage the humor of Logan; and the rest, all to meet emergencies of like character, Pennsylvania stalwarts ake that State’s share of the hash with awfully wry faces. There is a general disposition among Democrats to treat Garfield kindly and courteously. His greatest aggravations will come from those of his own household. John Kelly is here as the protege of Ylce President Arthur, who shows him around as the man who betrayed the Democracy and made him Vice President. How this administration is to reward Kelly is not developed, but donbtless will be in good time. Gen. Hancock more than divided the honors of the inaugural event.— He was the real lion of the occasion, and bore the honors with easy grace and dignity. Hayes got off to-day at one o’clock, and there was none so poor to do him reverence as the parting guest. A more thoroughly despised creature never threaded the avonues of the Capitol. I shall leave here now, and when you hear from Jme again it will be from New York or Philadelphia. I am extremely tired of this beautiful capitol city, not because I have lost admiration for its beautiful|surround ings, but because there is not that

kind of life and surroundings which make one feel at home. Except with permanent residents this kind of foaling is dominant. People who cojne here on sight-seeing bent, on business, or tor a jaunt are always content to leave as soon bs their ends are attained. This is a universal feeling. X shall not attempt to analyze it, for it would take too much space. B. Postscript.— Just learn that the train which carried Hayes and his party hence has collided with another, and a general smash up has occurred about seven miles out Nobody seems to inquire whetner Hayes is killed or injured, hut incidentally it is mentioned he has again escaned judgment. No details complete to warrant my extending this postscript. H-

Friday, February 25th was a memorable day in the history of Wail street. The bull that followed Secretary Sherman’s announcement to purchase bonds to the amount of $10,000,000 was followed by a /all that bordered on a panic. Stock fell all thro’ the afternoon. The conflict between the National Banks and the Government seemed to favor the former, for as fast as the banks received their checks for bonds that they sold to the Government they were deposited with the Sub-Treasurer to retire their circulation. The situation was decidedly critical, and somewhat resembled Grant’s Black Friday of 1873. Money was one per cont. bonus over night. Banks refused all loans, and some of the best men of the street wont beg ging for money. The sum and substaDce of the situation in Wall street, on this second Black Friday, was graphically described by Hon. George B. Satterlee, President of the Mining Exchange; “It is a question in my mind.” said Mr. Satterlee, “whether a clique of bankers is to dictate to Congress and to the country what is for the best interest of the whole country, and to manipulate the money market to depress the stock market.” And the N#w York Tribune, owned by Jay Gould, speaking for the bankers, says: “No amendment of the funding bill will restore a healthy condition of business that does not take from it the coercive features of the fifth seefion. The defeat of the bill in either House, or a distinct announcement by the President that it will not meet his approval unless deprived of the unjust provisions of the fifth seotiou, would quickly restore confidence, stop contraction, induce the banks to take out again their circulation, which they have sutrendered, and enable the country to recover speed! ly from a panic.” Congress did not succumb to this threat, but Fraud Hayes, in a message, in substance informed Congress that he could approve of the bill if shorn of the section objected to oy Jay Gould & Co. Under the circumstances he found it necessary that he should return it with his objections.

Valparaiso Yidette: G. W. Michael has covered the country with another of his infamous and characteristic circulars defaming the Northern Indiana Normal School and its faculty.— It issues from Delaware, 0., his present place of abode, and pretends to be the pretentious Professor’s “famous speech against H. B. Brown, principal, and his Northern Indiana Normal School, delivered June 5, 1880 at the Academy of Music, Valparaiso, Ind., to an uudience of more than two ihousand, consisting of the normal students, and the citizenz of the town.” It is upon its face an una bridged invention of unmitigated falsehoods, and cannot otherwise ap pear to the considerate reader. Of eourse where Prof. Brown and ths merits of the school are known its tendency can but be to strengthen the institution, though the heinous disposition and ooject are palpaoly for evil. What may be its effeet in more remote quarters wo cannot undertake to surmise, but its sayings are so flippant, over exaggerated and unreasonable that no deleterious result, we think, need be apprehended. The Northern Indiana NorraalJSohool is an institution of exceeding merit, and so recognized. It is a great blessing not only to Valparaiso and tho immediate vicinity, but to all the country that gives it patronage. To an institution of such beneficent works, it oceurs to us, no suoh blarneying blatherskite as Mr. Michael can do serious harm.

The Tiger. —lt may not be generally Known, but it is nevertheless true, that for some time past a gambling room has existed at this place. The nefarious business is said to be conducted in an upper room of the bank building and the game we are informed is oanied on by professional blackegs, who have already fleeced more than one of the residents of this lo cality. It is averred that during the past week a farmer of this vicinity has parted with about 91,500 at this establishment, while a resident of the town is short S4OO from the same cause. We forbear giving names, but call upon the authorities to squelch the gambling hell.—Monticello Herald.

A case of black fever at Lenoxvills, Pa., is creating the wildest excitement among the residents of that locality. The victim is a farmer’s daughter, nineteen year? of age, wha had, previous to her illness, been visitlDg friends in Schuylkill county. A similar case in the family she was visiting was mistaken for billious fever by a quaok. In 1868 the black fever accom-. plished its fearful work In the coal country, tarrying off hundreds 6f people, among whom were many prominent men and women. Families of eight and were striken down* and In the smallest towns from five to ten interments occurred daily. Every home presented a sorrowful scene. Tho oldest residents predict a visitation of this incurable disease once in every ten years. - They ap* prehend that the case at Lenoxville will result in its spread through the northern ooal region, and the physicians will find their efforts to oure it unavailing. The Grant Republicans nick-name the anti-Grant Republicans “halfbreeds." Quite appropriate. The question most interesting the Grant men just now is whether Garfield ie a “half-breed” or not.

Random Conundrums* Why don’t Hayea go ’round the world? Why Is It the railroad trains never eome in on time. Why don't they build the Continental railroad f Why don’t some one build a few oottages to supply the demnnd? Why didn't Indiana get a seat in the Cabinet? Why didn’t the local option bill pass the Senate? Why will pesple get married, when courting is so sweet? Will Senator Harrison distribute the spoils for Indiana? Why do so many boys loaf on the streets Sunday’s instead of attending the Sabbath schools? Why will a woman make excuses I for her bread when she knows it is the best she ever made ?

A correspondent of the Indianapo lie Sentinel while expressing himself favorable to most of the proposed amendments, adds: To the adoption of the residence section there can be no good partisan objection, as the question of citizenship and the rinrht to vote is definitely settled, and will not require legislative enactments to explain or to put into effect it 3 provisions. But the section requiring the enactment of registration law is entirely a different matter. The adoption of this section opeus up opportunity for a partisan Legislature to secure possession of all the machinery by which the fact of citizenship is to be established, and the modes of becoming a legal voter, subject to change with each recurring Legislature, and especially whenever tbere is a change in the political control es the body empowered to make and unmake the law. That a fair registration cua be made there is no doubt, yet it is attended with great great expeuec to the Stane, and in many oases annoyance to the citizen, and can be made an engine of tyranny by a party in power, as has been fully demonstrated in many sections of this country, end is certainly a dangerous power for the people to putin the hands of auy political party, now er hereafter. Tlu rights of eitizensbip and the privilege it confers snouid only be placed in the fundamental law of the btate. Happily for Indiana, the duties of its officials are so clearly made by organic law, that so far as their administrations are concerned it enly amounts to individual choice as to which political party the administrators belong. But to give parties power, and even make it a legislative duty to compel citi zoos to prove before a purtian Board their citizenship, subject to chances of being swindlrd out et their rights, guarranteed by their constitution is a question only to be considered by men of one party, but of g.ll fair-mind-ed men. Anv attempt to mane the adoption er rejection of these amendments a party queation should be frowned down. A determined persistence iu that direction ought to convince good citizens that it means a desire to get an opportunity for political “skulduggery” by whichever party guilty of the offense, and its leaders ought te be rebuked by the independent voters es the party, when UDder guise of a wonderfull amount es reyerense “for the purity of elections,” seek opportunity to debauch them by law.

Hayes’ lament, as published by the New York Commercial Advertiser, is as follows: I am dying Rodgers, dying, And my days are nearly spent; But I’ve saved a pot of money, Since they called me President. My lady has been true goodness, Cold water and tne truth; And future generations Will call me “Holy Ruth.”

A disgusted Greenback friend writes us as follows; The National Banks are for tne time being masters of the situation. Monopolies dictate the limits of legislation, and, until patriotism shall rise above party spirit, and crush combinations formed to plunder the public, we shall drift on in the dilection of i n absolute aristooratic despotism. It is proposed to offer a rewared of from $5,000 to $25,000, for the author of the Morey letter, with immunity from punishment to the person who did write it, if he will maae himself known. It is about time something was known about the Morey letter. The Republican managers seem to have lost interest in the matter for soqjereason or other, Let the author be smoked out.
