Pettit died at his home in Wabash, Monday evening lust, of congestion of the lungs. In 1841 be located in Wabash and commenced the study of law. From the first he exhibited marked talent in his chosen profession, and under the administration of Franklin Pierce hie ability was recognized by an appointment as United States Consul to Brazil. He was elected Congressman from that District three consecutive terms, and served his constituents honorably. Several terms he represented Wabash county in the State Legislature, and for fifteen years served as Judge of that Judicial Circuit. In 1879 he retired from the Bench, and since that time has devoted his attention to the practice of the law. As a jurist he was conceded by all to be the equal of any in the State, and the profession loses one its brightest stars by his death.

The Philadelphia Times [lnd.] pre diets the downfall ®f Mahone at an early day. It says: Mahone is not to be blamed for his part in the Senatorial dicker any more than a spurned bandit should be blamed for aseepting shelter and protection from those who can give it.— He gets offices for his dependent repudiators; he gets vengeance against overy able and reputable Democrat; he gets high rank on Committees and he will bask in the sunshine of Republican favor for a very brief season True, his triumph will be of short du ration. The Republicans of the Nation will not permit the Administration to enlist under the banner of repudiation in Virginia; the Republicans of the Senate will revolt against thoir own disgrace before one session of Congress is over, and he will be deserted by Administration, Senate and organs as soon as he can be kicked overboard with safety. He has Cheated Virginia, cheated the Democratic party, wiih which he once acted as an honest debt-payer; be has cheated the Republicans of the Senate by giving them the least for the most that has ever passed in a political compact, and he will soon cheat himself out of all trust and friendship until even his own self-conceit will recoil upon him.

A Washington dispatch to the New York Sun says: Mr. John A. Logan spread himself over Mahone in a peculiarly suggestive style. It appears that Mr. Logan had reasons for his eagerness to organize the Senate immediately, and to make the most of Mahone’s vote.— He proposes .to run the War Department and the Army during ths next four vears. Young Mr. Lincoln, the

aww Secretary is his pro-reg*, fmt i» oStetai kls ir.stan'tw Bat la mate mmmamoo dmoty sure, he In edgea Mr. Cansero . firom his prop«rj>he*it the head of the Military Coaaaittte •f Mm and secured it for Mat; **jp.

From all this it apfW4M that while the Seelwaits are to control the War Department, the i&fioeoee of the Shermsns aad of t&ekr niatim. tie Caaieroas, are to be kept within boards prescribed by Logan. General Sherman will chafe and swelter and *we*r«hraogk the eontog years, bat the swaggering poUti*pt§ soldier from liliaois has got Mm ton L and meases to keep the grip.

Oek Msbone, ye will enable the Stalwarts to eat each others throats —politically speaking. And though ye don't mean it, still success to ye. Kilpatrick, wpowanted more money and more Moody shirt to carry Indiana for Hayes in 1876 is hunting a new position under Garfield. A Washington special to the New York Sun says:

The particular point that General Kflpatrifc-k has in view is said to be the mission to Chili. Indeed, It has been privately proclaimed to ail his friends that the appointment was decide i upon by General Garfield even b-f' re he had determined os Mr. B.aloe's appointment. If t .ere is any virtue in the peCtrl -i-ns Lcu-uscrioasly eircolated In- Sew Jersey in General Kilpatriek’s behalf, he will, no doubt, be returned to Chill. These petitions are numerously signed, vv’nen the New Jersey poll ti.Lans found that Kilpatrick was applying fur an office that would req ure his presence at the other side of the equator, he obtained signatures with a facility that surprised him even mere th<iO his failure to obtaio votes when a candidate for Congress. “If he’d only stay down there,” one of aia backers remarked, “Hi sign forty petitions.” If Kilpatrick gets the Chilian Mis sion, 31 r. Blame should see to it that he is snipped to Valparaiso by way of the straits of Magellan. When Mr. Fish sen: him there he thought it necessary to present his credentials at every city on the West Coast, from Panama down. Speaking of Hancock’s presence at the inauguration, the Chicago Times say* Lis arrival in Washington City “Created considerable more sensation and enthusiasm among a car tain class of the population than the advert f his victorious opponent F ;Ly fifteen thousand people met him a: the depot, took the horses from his carriage after he bad entered it, and •irew Am p Pennsylvania avenue in ■fi . :.pn. The crush and - cheering were both terri c and the General sn ;?t have enjoyed it hugely, seeing that the popular tumult proclaimed him -otce'.uing more than a defeated car. iid ve. He looked almost a victor as he was drawn along, men, women and coil sren yelling themselves L' ar-- ; and soldiers throwing their cans in the air with vociferous shouts of ~H for Haccoekl" It was the most - .to uastic demonstration, taken In a’i, that has been accorded a ? .0.l ;• man for many a day. Of course no diaresp-et was intended toward the president elect, but he could not help feeling that he could not have evoked the suthe amount of enthusiasm, arriving under similar circumhthi.lt v/as the people’s remembrance of Gettysburg and the wilderneas campaign, which no amount of campaign lies and political malignity can fail to link inseperablv with the glorious military career of Winfield Scott Hancock.”

Corkins, of the Fowler Era, brother of our neighbor, enters the following plea of justification for the opposition of Hon, .John P. Carr to temperance legislation: There is not much probability of any very wholesom tempera, ice laws being enacted. Our representative J. P. Carr favors no more in the matter. His reasons are logical. Being a strong temperance man he could favor prohibition, did the constitution admit. But he reasons liee this. “The Republican party is conceded to be the temperance party, the Democratic tin* wiiisky party; the former has just corne into power, the cause demands it to remain in power. There is a grand revolution taking place, ha masses are rapidly being educated, and two or four years hence the party may make a bold strike at intemperance. While if the present Legislature enacts a stiingent law, will, two years hence, defeat the party, the State will revert back to Democracy, and the cause of temperance will retrograde twenty years. He says, the ultry hot headed abolition ists never did a thing toward abol ishing slavery, but when the people saw the necessity, the Republican party stepped in and did the work, so with temperance oars is the party to accomplish the t desired work, but uow is not the time. From the stand point of the temperance worker* in Benton, this reasoning does not appear good. It is not our purpose to drscuss the subject in these letters. Mr. Carr is a far-sighted, discreet and judicious man, always acts from conviction, and all in all is a good legislator.

Verily, these fellows strain at a gnat and swollow a camel. Suppose Mr. Carr was a Democrat, would they for a moment tolerate such views? Lawyer S. P. Thompson, he of Jasper County, subscribed for the New* 'last week and planked down the ready cash. Siiqon your head is level, — Kentland News Remington News: B. M.

Kentland News: Mr. William Brokaw was arrested somewhere in Indi ana and taken to Logansportthefirst o* last week on the charge of conveying certain Nebraska lands for which he had no title. The matter was settled but instead of releasing him the authorities telegraphed to this place asking if he was wanted here. It seemed that he was and ao on last Saturday was brought. He was examined on two charges, one of forgery and ODe of raising a cote from $lO to SSO and was bound over in the sum of SSOO for each. Not being able to obtain bail Brokaw was taken by Sheriff Uiroy to the BeDton county jail, last Tuesday, where he will languish most likely until Court convenes in May. Kentland Gazette : It was decreed in the case of Benjamin Reynolds vs. Daniel Duvall, that the Auditor of Jasper, issue license to plaintiff to retail intoxicating liquors in Renssrlaer.

The Clerk, Sheriff and Treasurer of White county, his former home, testified in behalf of the applicant, as well as gray haired church members, con* stables, and others. The applicant certainly has stood well at home in the the past but his future is not so promising,

Some time ago there was an engineer on the L.. N. A. & C. road who had great success with heavy trains, often hauling loads that would have stalled any of the other engineers. As his locomotive was no heavier than many others on the road, this attracted the attention of the Muster Mechanic. One day the engineer hauled a very heavy train into New Albany and the Master Mechanio seized the opportunity to inspect his engine, and discovened a long slender steel packing hook wedged into the safety vave so tightly that no steam could escape. The engineer was dismissed at once. He claimed that he was often overloaded and then blamed for not making good time. He *did not run the risk of being blown into eternity for nothing. —Michigan City Dispatch.
