Hancock over Garfeld, • 8,106 The dog law does not take effect till next year. The recent radical Legis'ature of this State wss the most successful failure ever entrusted with makiDg laws. An Atlanta, Georgia paper Sbns a font of type cast from bullets used by the two armies before Sherman entered that city. The sixty second anniversary ot tho introduction of Odd Fellowship wa s celebrated in various par s of the country Tuesday. 20 cents for each description is the price fixed by the Legislature for pub lishing tho delinquent list, and not 15. as stated in the Republican. A lady in Chester county, Pennsylvania. last fall stuck a cutting from an apple bough into a pot to support a lily, and it now has three 'green apples. At Normal, 111., last month, a colt with seven perfectly formed feet was born." One fore leg has three feet and the other two. It gives promise of an average life. O. B, Mclntire has purchased the Remington News of the estate of the late O. W. Church. Mr. Cooyer will continue as editor and the facilities of the office increased. Verily the Indiana Legislature is a wise body—in its own estimation.— Rensselaer Republican. The verdict is unanimous on that, therefore there is no cause for disci ispute. Let’s elect a Democratic Legislature next time. Dr. R. J. Gatling, the inventor of the famous gun bearing his name, was reared, the Buffalo Courier says, in a rough little log-cabin m the heart of the North Carolina backwoods. What in time became the Gatling gun is said to have sprung from a boyish at tempt to make a corn-planter. Corkins says the Indianapolis Sentinel “gracefully swings the Demo ciatic parry into line with the whiskey element,” in opposition to the prohibition amendment. If so, the Indian ipolis Journal, too, “gracefully swings the Republican party into line with tho whisky element.” Now what will the aspirant for the Jasper County Superintendency, or any other position that may-offer, do about it? It is now stated that John Snerman believes that Garfield deliberately and predeterminedly betrayed him at Chicago. Sherman played a deep game for the nomination. He prostituted the Treasury Department to carry out his plaus. He lost, and believes that his failure was owing to Garfield’s treachery. He seems a long time coming to that conclusion. Most people who watched the proceedings of the radical convention Delieved it at the time. A Bloomfield correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel says: “A question of great importance to county officers has arisen in the Greene county Circuit Court pertaining to fees. The Sheriff had refused to serve some subpoenas, unless his fees • were paid to him in advance, and some of the attorneys took objections to the pay-in-advanee system, and called the attention of Judge Robinson to the matter. In deciding the matter the Judge said; “Service, other than by the Sheriff or his Deputy* is not bindin ’, and that officer need not work for nothing, unless so ordered by law or ihe Court” This makes the matter plain, and no one uesd attend Court unless summoned by the proper officer, and that officer can demand his fee in advance. This will put a stop to so much frivolous litigation by insolvent persons. The Judge also ruled that a newspaper man need not make affidavit to pud lishing a non-resident notice until the printer fee was paid.” Indianapolis Sentinel: Was a contract made between Mahone and the Republicans? Mahoue pleads innooence. He denies the eontract. He might as well deny his existence. He might as well deny his physical littleness. Contracts, it is said, are made “in various ways,” and it is further said, that “there are many modes of proving contracts.” Such doctrines rotating to contracts are well established and enter into the every day business affairs of life. Mahone, it is said, “entered the Senate as an independent Democrat.” If at the outset he had “declared that to punish hi 3 opponents of the dominant element of the Virginia Democracy he should vote with the Republi cans, but would take nothing from them in return, the country would have understood him, and a certain class of politicians might have ftlt some l-ospect for him. But when he is seen in the room adjoining that in which the Republican caucus of Senator is sitting, and when the outcome ;

is the nomination of his manJßiddleberger, a Confederate repudiator. for Sergeant-at-Arms; and wbeu thereafter, Mahone votes all the time with the Republicans on every question that arises, the proof of a contract between him and the Republican leaders in the Senators irresietable.” Mahone is in the pillory. Any man of honor, of decency, of integrity — men with well adjusted ideas of propriety, ail men who hate treachery, and despise an apostate, denounce Mahone. They spit upon him. He is a political outcast. Republicans have bought him, and are trying to carryout their bargain. To this infamously corrupt transaction Democrats inteip:)se. They are right. Honorable men of all parties indorse the action of Democratic Senators. By all means let the deadlock conduce.

One of the most, humiliating scenes that the union soldiers have ever been called upon to wituess will be enacted next Monday—the unveiling of the Farragut statue by Senator Vorhees The above precious morsel exudes this week from the brilliant brain of ihe ever-so-“loil” cuss of Gilboa. — When he penned the item be didn’t seem to know that the Farragut sta lue was unveiled last Monday, and therefore would not occur next Monday. He didn’t seem to know that the pleasing duty of unveiling the statue was assigned to Quartermaster Knowles, who had held the position of quartermaster upon Farragut’s flag ship at the lime of the historic battle in Mobile Bay, and the man who lashed Farragut to the mast.— He seems to forget how to spell the the name of Voorhees. But all the same, our Dan will do doubt feel bad at the rebuke given him by the “loil” editor of the Republican organ of Jasper county.
