A grandson of General Lafayette, who aided us in the great Revolm tionary struggle of 1876, died Sunday last in Paris. The Republicans don’t like Senator Hill, of Georgia, and Senator Hi * don’t like the Republicans. Ihe msike is mutual. ___ Only $75,000 were appropriated b\ the Indiana Legislature to pay »&' expenses of the extra session. Ltu farmers pay for this sweet music.

According to last advices, Garfield has concluded not to call an extra session of Congress. It is said die National Banks were opposed to an extra session. The Republicans continue to wrestle with the popular vote for President to show that Garfield’s vote was larger than Hancock’s vote. Hancock’s yote was the argest by more than 8 000. A judgment was rendered reeentl} in Judge Holman’s Court, Indianapolis, in favor of William Henderson* Trustee, against the Water Works Company for $1,130,15610. The regular session of the Republican Legislature cost the people of Indiana $130,000, and the extra will cost them $75,000. About ali that our legislators do is to draw their pay. The Philadelphia Times is of the opinion that “the fortunate party in the Mahone trade is the party that has lost Mahone, and before a twelvemonth the Republican organs which axe now deifying Mahone will denounce his failing cause and decline all political fellowship witii hitn.”

A dispatch says “fourteen hundred office-seekers, every one of whom ‘carried Indiana in October,’ are at Washington, and the question arises, ‘Did- any of ’m get away?”' Some must have got away. There were fourteen thousand there immediately after the inauguration, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, •

The Chicago Times chides President Garfield for ornamenting the desk as Senator Mahone, of Virginia, with flowers from the White House -conservatory. The act called publi* attention to the President’s rejoicing at the Senator’s alliance with the lepublicans to beat the Democratic organization flf the Senate.

A resolution has passed the Indiana House providing for the submission of an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting/the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors only for mechenichal, medicinal and sacramental purposes. The resolution passed by a vote of 54 yeas and 30 nays. This is a step in the right direction.

It will be but a short time until the the farmers will be inquiring around to learn who keeps the nest plows and farming implements. They are going to do a big summer’s work and are going to want good implements to do it with. Watoh the columns of the SaNTiNßii and see who advertise in the line of farming implements.

If the Legislature would pass a law cutting off the pay of members for every day spent over the sixty days allowed for the regular session, there would be more and better work done and extra sessions would be something unheard of. Under the present law. this RepuDlican legislature is likely to remain in session all summer.

The State Senate, by a majority vote, has said that, hereafter county Commissioners shall give bonds in the sum of $5,000 before entering upon the discharge of the duties of their office. If the same bill should pass the House, there will be but few men who will want to be elected county commissioner. It is an unthankful and unprofitable position at best and hereafter, with that ineumberanoe, it will be a clear case of the office seeking the man.

Our neighbor goes whining to the Kentland Gazette that we styled him an “amateur.” For Heaven’s sak e Mr. Gazette, tell him he is not tell him he is nothing! He has threatened to go to Heaven, and we fear will do something terrible. True, he is a retired pedagogue, with all the supercilious ways that self-conceit can imbue him with, father than an “am ateur” journalist. In using the term toward "him, we did it with the best intentions. Some neighboring jour nallots noting his attempts at playing smart, having inquired, in language more emphatic than polite, what kind of a “dampuool” our neighbor was, we supposed “a hint to the wise” would be sufficient to keep him within bounds. Bnt he’s not wise—he’s otherwise.

According to the census, the males oat-number the females in Illinois 96,097.

It is generally supposed that an othei extra session of the legislature will have to be called. But a few more days of the present session remains and there is more work that ought to be done than oun be accom plished in the short time left for legislative work. It only costs about SI,OOO per clay to keep this Republican legislature running and as the Republicans have not been in power in Indiana for some time, and not iikely to hold control a : rent while, (hey want to make all the money ihey can while they have an oppor- ! unity.

The fellow, Reynolds, who obtained license in our Court to sell liquor in Rensselaer, has threatened the editor of the Republican of that place, with a “punching” because Corkins saw proper to comment of his qualification for the business. We’ll go a big apple that Reynolds comes out at the little end of the horn if he undertakes it. - Kentland Gazette. Balderdash! “We’ll go a big apple” that Reynolds never made any sui h tiuear. Grateful to Corkins for his gi atituitous advertising, he may have expressed u desire to remunerate him with a whiskey punch, a g.n sling, or a brandy smash, and as a result Corkins raises the cry of “martyr.” On January 31,1879, John Slurman, then Secretary of the Treasury, wrote to Chester A. Arthur:

“Gross abuses of administration have continued and increased during your incumbency. “Persons have been regularly paid by you who have rendered little or no service; the expenses of your office have increased, while its receipts have diminished. Bribes, or gratuities in the shape of bribes, have been received by your subordinates in several branches of the Custom House, and you have in no case supported the effort to correct these abuses.” And then induced the late Presidential Fraud to impart to him the following important information: “With a deep sense of my obligations under the Constitution, I regard it as my plain duty to suspend you, in older that the office may be hon f atly administered.” Now John Sherman is a member of the United States Senate, and C. A. Arthur is presiding officer of that body, and between the two worthies a gulf of ice intervenes.

We are glad to note that Senator Voorhees attracted the attention of the couauy the other day when he introduced his resolution into the Senate regarding the National Banks The Washington special of the New York Sun has this to say regarding the matter: j\lr. Voorhees’ purpose in offering the resolution was to secure an opportunity to make a speech which he had prepared with much care. Mr. Voorhaes does not intend Jo make a wholesale, and what he calls a senseless attack upon, the banks. He believes, however, that the attention of tke country ought to be called to what lie regards as a dangerous, though power possessed by tke banks of disturbing at will the financial situation. There have been some indications of a growing purpose in some quarters of attacking the National Banking system. Mi. Voorhees’speech may give the keynote of the anti-bank campaign. Through a wholesome dread of this the National Banks now oppose an extra session of Congress.

The Clncinuatti Commercial’s desire to have an extra session of Congress is not to be gratified. It sees how about $200,000,000 o. the 5 and 6 per cent, bonds can be taken care of; but, says the Commercial, “We shall have to go on paying 5 per cent, for an amount of bonds equal to $400,000,000 —and we may have a bountiful harvest. Also vast sums of mon ey will be wanted for railroad enterprises. Politically and financially, the greater surety would be in an extra session, though that is a sharp medicine that does not insure the cure of all diseases.” It was the purpose of the Democratic party to fund the whole $600,000,000 at 3 per cent., and the bill was passed. But to gratthe National Banks, Hayes vetoed the bill, and the people will be required to pay not less than $800,000,000 a year on account of Hayes’ treachery. And if $200,000,000 are funded at 4 per cent, it is well known that the National Banka are opposed to an extra session of Congress, and it is now believed that they exert quite as much influence with Garfield as they did with Hayes. With Republicans in power, the National Banks rule, and the people will do well not to forget it.

Attorney-General Baldwin is de livering opinions upon vexed legal questions with such astonishing rapidity and frexuency that it is no wonder that he sometime# gets a little muddled, and is compelled to give a second opinion at times to correct ar over-rule a former one. This peculiarity has caused the revival of p, story that was formerly current in Logansport, and which runs about as follows: “When Judge Baldwin was holding down the woolsack of the Court of Common Pleas* a case was presented to hin, and duly argued, and was taken under advisment by the Judge, who, in the course of a few days, after mature deliberation, rendered a long and apparently able verdict. A few weeks later another case involving precisely the same question as in case No. 1, was tried before him. He again took ample time to make up his decision, and rendered a verdict exactly contrary to the one given but a short time before. Thus in the language of the Cass oounty bar, making sure to be right at least half the time. If he is correct in half of his opinions as Attorney General, he will give an immense amount of able and just advice.—Peru Sentinel.

How it Pays to Take a Pap jib. Some papers are not of much account as to appearance, but I never took one that did not pay me, in some way, more than I paid for it. One time an old friend stareed a little paper away down in Sotthwestern Georgia, and sent it to me, and Isubscribed just to encourage him, and so after a while it published a notioe that an administrator had an order to sell several lots at public outcry, and one of the lots was in my county. So I inquired about the lot, and wrote to my friend to attend the sale and run it to fifty dollars. He did so, and bid off the lot for me at thirty dollars, and I sold it in a month to the man it joiued for a hundred, and so I made sixty-eight dollars clear by taking that paper. My father told me when he was a young man he saw a notice in a paper that a school tiacker was wanted away off in a distant county, and lie went there and got the situation, and a little girl was sent to him, and after awhile she crew up mighty sweet and pretty and he fell in love with her and nrariled her. Now, if he hadn’t taken that paper, what do you reokon would have become of me V Woulun’t I be some other fellow, or maybe not at all?—Bx.

ANEXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The Republican bosses were never in a greater quandary than just now. The question of calling an extra session of Congress is taxing the resources of political chicanery to the utmostlimit. If they call an extra session, they are compelled to assign a reason for it The only reason for such a course, which the people will approve, is to pass a funding bill. This was done by the Democratic party when in power, in spite of Republican and National Bunk opposition, and was defeated by the veto of Hayes in the interest and at the dictation of the banks. The Democratic funding bili reduced the interest ( n 1660,027,200 5 and 6 per cent, bonds to 3 per cent, thus saving to the country $16,000,000 a year. The call for un extra session brings suoh facts into the boldest possible prominence. The Cincinnati Commercial says:

An Ohio President vetoed the socaled funding bill, and the general impression is that the veto message was incomplete-in stating the frea6 ons for the veto. The Democracy will claim that this veto is costing the people a million a month for the sake of the banks, It isn’t true, but the cry will serve. If our Ohio President declines to call an extra session, the October election m Ohio will, by the opponents of the Administration, be fought in the shape of a warupoa the banks. The prospect of such a contest is not, under all the circumstances, regarded with complacency. Something must-be done. . The Commercial, like Roussakoff, is undergoing torture, and is forced to tell the truth iu par t. The Commercial will be su ejected to further applications of thumbscrews and wheel, and will, before loDg, out with the whole nefarious scheme by whier> Republicans, under National Bank system, opposed the Democratic funding biii, and failing in that, urged Hayes to veto it. The Chicago Inter-Ocean realizes the difficulty with which its party has to contend, but is disposed to treat it with illy disguised indifference. It says:

We do not know whether the story is true about-Murat Haistead rushing off to Washington to deter the President from calling a special session of Congress and then becoming convinced within a few hours after arriving there, that the verv thiug ought to be done which he had traveled so far to prevent, but it is not at all unlikely. And this illustrates the dullness of the average perception, and how impossible it is to get au idea through some people’s heads. The newspapers all over the country have been discussing this question of an extra session with an earnestness that is really laughable when the facts in the case are considered. Until within the past few days the situation as generally agreed upon has been this: If the 5 and 6 per ceut. bonds are permitted to run on when they can be funded at 3 and 3£ per cent, under a simple bill providing for the work, the Government will be the loser by from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. And nothing is more certain, if the 5 and 6 per cent, bonds are permitted to run on, so that the Government lo es fourteen to fifteen millions of dollars annually, than that the Republican party and the National Banks will be held responsible for the outrage, and it is this fact that is now giving the Republican bosses so much uneasiness. But the real ques tion before the American people is one of far greater importance than the calling of au extra session ©f Congress, the rate of interest on lands, or the infamous veto of Hayes. It is this: Shall the National Banks rule the country? The Cincinnati Commsreial sees the drift of popular tho’t and issues its warning. It says: “If our Ohio President declines to call an extra sossion, the October election in Ohio will, by the opponents of the Administration, be fought in the shape of a war upon the banks.” It will be fought in the shape of a war upon the banks, and those who indorsed the war of the banks upon Congress, whether Garfield calls an extra session of Congress or does not call an extra session.

The action of the National Banks to defeat the aetion of Congress is justly regarded by all men who think dispassionately upon the subject as being the most flagrant outrage ever perpetrated upon Congress since the Government had an existence. The Democratic has not failed to point out to the people the dangerous power conferred upon the National Banko Warnings have been given time and again, and have as often been sneered at by Republicans. But the eountry is now confronted with facts which defy scoffs and jibes. The National

Banks have aetuully organized to defeat the will of the people, and as a last resort, finding a pliant tool in Hayes, were successful. They placed their interests against the interests of the people, and won a victory. They massed their will in defiance of the will or Congress and triumphed. - They matched their money power against the Dower of the representatives of the people, and bore off the prize. They maintained tbeirascendaDcy, and for once at least, overwhelmed Congress in defeat. It is well worth while for the people to pause. These National Banks now number more than 2,000, anCtheir resources amount to a fabulous sum.— They have steadily grown strong, and with their increased strength they now openly defy the law-making power of Congress. Mr. Carlisle, in his speech, March 2, placed the subject in a lear light before the people. He said:

The two Houses of Congress, representing the aggregate interests of 50,000,000 of people, have, after ma ture deliberation, passed a bill which the banks have chosen to consider obnoxious to them, and forthwith—withiu thirteen days—they have contracted the currency to the extent of $18,722,340 aud precipitated a crisis which would have been disaserous to the country had it not been met by measures which they had no bower to prevent. The prompt action of the Seoretar of the Treasury in purchasing a large amount of bonds at the city of New York, aud the course of the Canadian banks in throwing $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 of their loan able capital on ‘he market, alone prevented a catastrophe from the effects of which we might not have entirely recovered for many years. When Secretary McCullough, several years since, in pursuance of his contraction poliey, began to retire and cancel legal tender notes at the rate of $4,000,000 per month, it produced such con sternation in business circles that Congress was forced to intervene at once and arrest the process by the passage of a joint resolution, but now we have seen nearly $19,000,000 of circulation withdrawn in less than a half month, not by the government, but by institutions in the management of which lhe Government has uo voice, and still gentlemen here in slst that the power under which this has been done, and under which it may at any time be repeated, shall not be taken away. Why, sir, the whole contraction of legal-tender Treasury notes under the provisions of the resumption act, from January 14, 1875, to M y 31, 1878. when it was prohibited by law, was only $34,318,984, not twice as much in three years as the bana contraction has been in less than two weess.

This experience warns us that we can not safely permit this great power to neuiain in the hands of these institutions unchecked by legal restrictions. It is an engine of destruction standing in the very narrowrsfc part of the way to permanent industry and commercial prosperity iii this country; for there can be no such prosperity anywhere in the midst of sudden and enormous contractions of the currency; nor will prudent and experienced business men embark in large and expensive enterprises when the power to make such contractions is held by private and interested parties who acknowledge no restraints except pnblic sentiment and their own views of public welfare.

The forgoing remarks were made before Hayes’ veto killed the measure which Mr. Carlisle advocated. The banks having been foiled by Congress appealed to Hayes, and Hayes in the pleatitude of hi# infamy, responded to the demand of the banks. An extra session of Congress may or may not be called, but the people will see to it that the banks are shorn of their power to rule the countiy.

Fr:.-ai Remington News. It is known by our home readers before we go to press, that Mr. O. W. Charon, the proprietor of the News, departed this life at 7 a. m. on Tuesday, the 22d inat. While we ohroniole the sad event, and signalize it by the garb of mourning in which our paper is draped, we regret that, at this late day in the week, our time and space will permit only a brief reference to it. An illness of nearly two mouths had made his condition gen orally known, and awakened a foreboding that it might terminate fatally. The closing of ail business houses and the very large attendance at the funeral services and oeiemonies, held on the afternoon of March 33d, furnish the best evidence of the high estimation in which he was held, and also the regret and sympathy excited by his death, aud no wonder; he held a most impertant place in the business circles of this community. For years past he has been a leading —perhaps the leading—business man of the place. He drew hither a very large trade by his universally just, accommodating and generous dealing with the farming community.

Remington Lodge F. &’ A. M. No. 361, with members from Rensselaer and Gaoaland, together with Remington Lodge No. 88, A. TJ. W., were present at the funeral, and at the dose of the religious services, conducted by Rev. J. B. Growe, in the M. E. ehurob, they took charge of the remains, and performed their impressive burial seivice at the grave, Iu a new book which has just been published under the title of “Representative men of Indiana,” is the following truthful sketch of our depart ed friend:

“Osman W. Chutch was born in Chittenden county, Vermont, October 30,1837, and was the sou of Oliver Church and Matilda (Whitcomb) Church. He received his education in the Vermont common schools und in an Academy. On completing his education, at the age of 18, he was employed on railroads for some two aud a half years, and in farming for five years, after which he went into the mercantile business at Goodland, Ind., where he moved in 1867, In 1870 he came to Remington, where he engaged in the grain business, retaining at the same time his interests at Goodland, being now the largest grain dealer in this part of the state. His business’ which had already reaehed immense proportions, continued to increase. In addition to the grain business Jhe was also engaged in the dry goods and general merchandise business up to 1875. He joined the Masonic fraternity in 1874, and the Odd Fellows in 1871, taking four degrees in the latter, and three in the former. He was married in 1870 ts Miss Emeroy J. Lyon, daughter of Robert Lyon, a wealthy fanner of Braintree, Vermont.” Also we are permitted to make an extract from toe appreciative discourse of ltev. Mr. Crewe. Reading by request of the family, Eccles. 12, Rev. Mr, Crowe said, “Mr. Church had lived iu this community eleven years; as a grain dealer he was widely k nown by the people of the country. It would be superfluous for me to speak of his character, or to say anything in commendation of his virtues. You all know that he was a man of flue commanding presence—one of Nature’s noblemen ; that in business relations he was shrewd, enterprising, the very soul of honor, and that he was a man of quick sensibilities, generous impulses, charitable to the poor—doing more in that way, perhaps, than any other of our citizens; reminding one of those words cf the ancient Emor: ‘When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me, because I dhlivered the poor that eaied, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came unto me, and I caused the widow’s heart. to sing for joy.’ You are all assenting when I say, he will be greatly missed among us, and that there are mourners to-day outside the family circle- These few words concerning the dead are intended to intimate, rather than express, the sympathies of the entire community with the bereaved family, in this time of their affliction, as a partial source of comfort to them. But of course my business, en such an occasion as this, is with the living and not with tha dead.

In cono’usion it is but just to say, even at the sisk of partial repetition, that in the death of Mr. Church the business community loses one of its staunchest and ablest members, the sooial oommunitv one of its most genial. whole-souled, generous spirited, and the family, an affectionate husband and indulgent father.
