When Mahone sold out to the Republican bosses, lie stipulated foi certau goods, which the bosses promised to deliver. The Republicans can’t deliver the goods, and Mahone may possibly go bark on the bosses.

Mahone put a chip on his should, r which was, to* him and his radical backers, unexpectedly, but promptly, knocked off by 7 our Dan. Oeh*. Mahone! you are ninety lbs. of iovelicess, and Judas Iscariot was ditto.

.John A. Logan—Black John —lias just waked up to the fact that he was loyal iu 1800-61, and talks of defending his record. He might as well try to convince the conutry that he is a blonde with golden ringlets, instead of the Black Prince of Egypt.

Every county in the State has already provided the necessary blanks for assessors. Now comes the Republican legislature and by ehaDging the law makes it necessary to have new blanks of a different form. The old blanks are useless aDd the cost of them ought to be charged up to Indi ana’s fool legislature.

The charge some democratic papers make that the republicans last fall held out a promise that they would enact a stronger temperance law if they should have the power, the Auburn Courier substantially denies if. —Valparaiso Vidette. It is probable the democratic papers are rs well posted on that mattei ns th* Auburn Courier.

There were tiled with the Secretary of State Friday last, articles of incorporation of the northwestern Indiana Christian Conference. There was no oupital stock mentioned.

Tippecanoe, Bonton, Jasper, Lake, Porter and Newton.

The Detroit Free Press say: “Ai thur’s voting in th# Senate may be in entire accord with one provision of the Constitution, which gives him the casting vote in case of a tie. But it is seriously in conflict with the other provisions which guarranlees the States an equal representation in the Senate. Practically, New York has three Senators, whil no other State has mure than two.

The Chicago Times says: “Blessed is it to be a brigadier at the tail of the Republican kite. There’s Mahone nothing’s too good for Mahone, the repudiationist. The administration loads him with flowers and offices. There’s Longstreet—he’s to be recalled from Turkey to oe made Marshal of Georgia. There are curses for Lamar, but if Lamar would bow down and worshin the Admioinistration he’d be an augel who could have anything he wanted.” And then there’s Mosby and a host of others.

An excharge remarks that “the reduction of wages of mechanics goes bravely on in New England. Ten per cent, at at Smithville and 8 per cent, at Windham, both in Connecticut* are the latest reported eases. The owners of these mills could not support Hancock Tor fear that if he was elected the wages of the poor employee would te cut down. They went Tor Garfield, because his election meant steady work and good wages.” It will hardly require four years to convince laberinf men that the Republican party is basely hypocritical in allot its professions, and when another election comes round they will hardly be mislead by Republican flapdoodle.

Rev. John Jasper’s firm belief thr.t “tho sun do move” has been peculiarly profitable. Hu ie'-in demand j as a lecturer on the subject, and has from that source obtained money to pay a debt of S6OO on his Riomond ehnrch. The Memphis Appeal says: So long as Mahone was a Democrat he was denounced as a traitor and a repudiating robber; but wbenhe knocked at the door of the Republican sanhedrim and told Conkling and Edmunds, at d Hair ana Logau, that he had fallen* and anointed himself with the oil of Republicanism, the traitor and robber was made high priest at tho parly altar. If John Wilkes Booth, the slayer of Lincoln, shouid mysteriously turn up alive in the United Slat, s he would be triumphantly acquitted and made a leader bv announcing lbs allegiance to the Republican party.

The. Republican bosses begin to <j ilize their infamous position. Republicans throughout the countiy are becoming indignant. “Mahon-’' says a Republican exchange, “lias recanted nothing und amended nothing in his system of politics. He stands only on tho conglomeration of ignorance and knnveery which proposes to scale the public debt of the State; y. t he is admitted into full fellowship with the Republican party; and he dictates not merely his own place on the committees iu the Senate, but tlie election of Mr. Gorham to be Secretary; and tire author of the Virginia act of repudiation to be Sergeant at Arms.” Such is the condition, and there is no means whereby it can be obscured, and it is weli said t iat. “there is not rai i enough in the Heavens to wash the hands of the political leadens guilty ol such a bargain.”

It is a little strange how soon after the election all interest was lost in finding the ailedged forger of tho Morey 7 Chinose letter. The Democratic national committee appropriated a certain amount of money to be used iu ferretting out the rascal and the Republican leaders urged to pursue the investigation, but as soon as it had been definitely determined that Garfield had been elected, the Republicans refused and are still refusing to have any tiling more to do iu the matter. Although the friends of Garfield deny that he was its author, they dare not push the investigation for fear that it will be fastened upon him. The forger, if a forgery has been perpetrated ought to be caught to be caught and punished, and Garfield is the man who ought to oe most interested in finding him. Why is it that he is not on the hunt of the man who wrote and forged his name to an infamous letter?

Hayes the fraud stained Republican President, during his oecupnucy of Tilden’s office, sent in ter. vetoes, and, as it is well said, “not one of them reccOtxencled itself to the bet ter judgement of the country, and the last was simply an outrage, for it wiil endble the banks to pocket millions which rightfully belong to'the people. The vetoes are catalogued as follows:

He vetoed the silver bill February 28, 1878, which, however, was passed over his vt 10 to the injury of no material in terest, but to the benefit of our mining industry and to the advantage of the finances es the country generally, He vetoed the bill for holding a special term of the United States Court in Mississippi, to try timber thieves, March 6, 1871); the bill to restrict Chinese immigration, March 1, 1879; the army appropriation biil with the measure prohibiting the use of troops at the polls attached, April 29,1879; the military interfereuc bill,May 12, 1879; the judiciary expenses bill, because of restrictions as to the emoloymeut of Marshal* at elections, June 30, 1879; the special deficiency appropriation bill, which was intended to provide for the appointment of marshals by th* United States Circuit Courts, from all political parties. May 4, 1880; a biil regulating the appointment of Special Deputy Marshals at elections, June L 5, 1880; and lastly the refunding bill. It will be noticed that his vetoes embraced th* evil purposes of favoring Chinees immigration; partison appointment of election officers, and just favoritism of National banks. Now, we challenge the Republican bosses to point to one of th* list which was in favor of the interests of the people. From first to last they are tainted with rascality, and some of them are covered all over with infamy.

A correspondent of the Scientific American says: “Let any one who has an attack of lockjaw take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter where the wound is, and relief will follow in less than a minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine; it will give certain relief almost instantly Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate a piece Of flannel on the chest, and in every case three or four drops on a lump of sugar may be taken inwardly.
