Chronic Mendacity.

During the late Presidential cum p lign, the most serious accusation brought against President Garfieid in ]• •fcreince to his ?omplicity with the < orrupt Credit Mobilier transactions was that he persisted in statements that were demonstrated to be absolutely false. In all transactions» whether pub ic or private, veracity is indi-pensiijle, and no man without it should be placed in a position of offl- < ial responsibility. The correctness of this position will appear obvious wh<ui it is considered that without veracity confidence cannot exist. - Owing, perhaps, to the circumstances that this serious charge was made during the excitement of a political campaign, and by political opponents, it was disregarded cr discredited by Mr. Gar .old’s partizan friends, and failed to influence them as it should have done, in the choice of a candidate. Respect for the exalted position Mr, Garfield now occupies demands that his acts and statements be received with deference, and weighed with candor; there is no disposition to rail or carp. But, aside from theso considerations, the frequency with which iiis vi facity is assailed elicits com□rent, aud leads to the conclusion that ijuendacity with him is a weakness a constitutional infirmity. His own partisans are now his accusers* Mr Conking has repeatedly charged him with falsehood and deception in relation to certain appointments. In his.letter of resignation to the Governor of New York it is a prominent part of his complaint. The New York Herald in commenting upon reccntpolitical events, says; “The truth is, that, from the beginning, Garfield has committed himself irrevocably to Blaine, and in his dealings with Conklp.g, Platt and their followers hm-fjjlowed the policy of duplicity.” A'- . - ys •. ;.-j New York Sun: "No subj •1- -1 much talked of as Garfield’s WiL: :I— LD habitual deceit, - '.0.-.1.-: ....I: :f telling false- - 'N- ../• ev-.-iy day furnishes Statements of a like -.tier leading papers _ _•_*. space would al* P ... . sagacity and brilliancy of are not .the only requisites .ic be insisted upon as qualin .-.lons for high official positionsThere are cardinal virtues, and truth Is one of them, that should be con-.-idered indispensable to positions of great responsibility and trust. In thia instance the Republicans are the victims of their own folly.— Infatuated, and swayed by party zeal, they closed their eyes to the faults of their candidate and now, as a natural result, they are reaping the bitter fruit of misplaced confidence. The tree is known by its fruit. Thistles do not produae figs. No party can long retain its hold upon the confi deuce of the people that, in the choice of candidates, prefers truth-less-tricksters and machine-politi-cians to honest and capable men. Howard (Kansas) Courant, June 9: Howard had her first fire on Saturday morning of last week, and one, too, which wib long be remembered by those who witnessed the horrible re suits. About three o'clock in the morning, while everybody was in bed and sleeping Mr, C. H. Cannon’s livery barn located just north of S. A. Brown & Co’s lumber yard, and fronting on Washington street, was discovered to be on fire, the flames first showing near the rear of the barn, which was 140 feet deep, 30 feet wide and two stories high.

Tho alarm was given as soon as possible, but before many people could be awakened and get there, almost the entire barn was in flames and the much dreaded flend had nought to do but go on in its wild fury until it had consumed everything within its reach. The people or Howard have heretofore escaped so well from the ravages of the fire flend that no preparations have ever been made to battle with it, and never until these large flames appeared did any one realize, apparently, that it was necessary to save the property of the town. However, our people rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and did all in their power to save what property they could, altho’ the amount saved was small compared with that lost. There were twenty-five head of horses in the barn, nineteen of which were burned up, only six escaping, and they the more inferior ones, seven buggies and one carriage, harness, and a large amount of corn and other feed, and a lot of furniture, The house in which Cannon lived, standing just across the alley, west of the barn, was also burned. It was the property of Mr N B. Cartmell, insured for SBOO, and worth SIOO.OO or $1,200.00, By diligent woik most of tho household goods were saved. The stable was insured for SI,OOO. But the saddest and most deplorable feature of the affair, was the burning to death of George Cannon, the proprietors youngest son. who was sleeping in the second story of the barn, and wh no doubt smothered to death

without ever waking up. He had been out to Mr. Hughes’ the evening before with four other young people of the city, returning about 12 o’clock, and after eating a dish of ioe cream at Fouiks’ was last seen going toward the barn smoking a cigar. He was in bed when the fire broke out, and no effort was made to awaken him or rescue him. nor was he scarcely thought of until it was too late to save him. On going to the barn door soon after the fire was first discovered in the rear end of the building, Mr. Cannon says he opened the frontdoor, and saw the back door was open and a number of horses loose in the barn, at once supposed his son had come down stairs and was cutting the horses loose to let them out the back way, thus he turned his attention to the saving of buggies and the ’bus which were in the front of the barn, and not until the walls of the barn had fallen and the dwelling house was enwrap ped in flames, did the excited crowd discover that poor George was missing, and soon after, upon investigating the burning ruins, immediately under where his bed had been located, the charred remains were fen nd and dragged from the hot debris, the flesh being all burned off the body and both arms and legs gone. ’Tis sad to think of the approach of death, even after a lingering illness, but to imagine one like this is entirely beyond description. Only three or fourhours before this bright young man of 20 years had come home from a pleasant pariy, bid bis friends good night, with the remark: “When shall we five meet again?” and to look at his charred remains, would bring horror to a more hardened heait than we have ever known. Think of it for a moment, Friday the bright yountf man was on our streets, attending o his work, his cheeks glowing with thai rosy blush of good health, his eyes sparkling with the reflection of contentment and ease, for George was ever happy, jovial and pleasant, only that night to retire in perfect health anu pass from sweet dreams into eternity, and all is hushed in woe. sadness, sorrow and anguish George was the pride of the family and one of Howard’s best boys, liked by all for his affable dis position, and respected for his worth and manly habits. The svmpathis of the entire community are extended to the bereaved friends in their great loss and all feel a pang of grief to witness the sudden and horrible death of one so universally loved, so young and so good. Mr. Cannon was formerly a citizen of this county, and is a brother-in-liwof our townsman, J. W. Duvall* The old friends and acquaintances of Mr. C. and family deeply sympathize with them in their loss and sad bereavement.

The M. E. Festival was a success.

Total eclipse of the moon last Saturday night. Leverett Clark, of Oberlin, Ohio, is visiting his nephew, Chas. H.

Over the County.

Barkley Items. Fair weather. Strawberries in abundance. Stock is looking well. More improvement on “ Wall street.’’ May cherries are ready for market. Some of the apples are falling off. Farmers are rejoicing over the recent rains. Early planted corn is over kneehigh. “Canada” boasts of having the best wheat in the township. Good for Canada. Mr. John W. Norman is drilling a well for Ad. Robinson, Owing to the wet weather, but little corn plowing was done last week. Considerable of good road-working has been done over the township during the past week, It is thought that the meadows will not average more than half a ton per acre this season. Old Mr. Cooper, an old resident of Jasper, has been confined to nis bed for quite a while. The Republicans of this township have furnished another representative to Michigan City for a term of one year. Our oats seemed tube on the sick list before the heavy rain fall, but since thay have began to grow, and most of the fields will probably make a half crop.

Some time since Elvin Israel wa s leaning over the baluster of the Pullins brid e when his fine silver watch slipped from his pocket and fell into the channel. Repeated searches have failed to recover it. Mr. Dave Marlatt has become dissatisfied with our pleasant Indiana, and proposes to pull up stakes (as soon as circumstances will permit) and return to his old home in the “Buckeye State.” Mr. Eldridge has contracted to build the new school house—“the Star”—for $450, and is now fast at work putting it up. Mr. Guss was the builder of thejsubstautlal foundation, and those desiring work of this kind will do well to employ Mr. GHe is not excelled in rapid, neat and substantial workmanship.

Culp Items, The hearts of the Grangers of this fajr portion of Jasper have been made gjad by a yery timely rain. It is pleasant to me.et jthe farmers with a smile upon their phi?. Wheat, oats and grass rapidly recovering from the May drought. Sabbath school, at Randle school house, is progressing finely. The series of lectures, by Elde r Hennegar. of the Christian churbh, is of much interest to the people drawing attendants from a distance.’ He has progressed as far as “Man in Eternity or Intermediate State.” One of the most enjoyable affairs, of the season occurred at Bro. Wm Noland’s, on the 29th ultimo, it being his 52d birth-day. His old neighbors to the number of 25 or 80 met at h|s house “like a wolf upon the fold,” he

having been decoyed off to Sabbath school in the early morning. On his return he found his lawn filled with buggies, his barn filled with horses, and the surroundings filled with his old neighbors, bringing the color to his surprised cheeks. After recovering from his surprise somewhat, dinner being called, we were seated to a bountiful repast. To enumerate onefourth would take too much space, but to say that we did not do justice to turkies, chickens, pies, cakes, and a “thousand and one” othpr things, would be a misrepresentation. All in all, it was one of the most pleasura ble affairs the old citicens in this vicinity have enjoyed for a long time, 4 REFULGENT.

Items from Slip-Up-Health is good. Fine weather for corn. Work on the railroad is progressing. Business is lively at the saw mill again. J. B. Heistand has had to take con trol of the engine again. Several engineers have tied to handle that engine, but none of them can compete with Heistand. Master Punch Plat, is herding cattle in the north woods. He hasn’t learned those swamps yet. His horse has been down twice We think he will scon hang his hide on a bush. The long-locked for has returned from the West, looks well, and speaks kindly of those savage red-skins. Girls, look out: the boys are begin uing to fix up their old harness for Fourth, and you haven’t much time in which to make your choice. Mr. James Yeoman has fenced his timber at Slip-Up. Mr. S. P. Thompson contemplates building three fourths of a mile more fence to enclose his north pasture. Charley Harding, the great, soon got enough running a railroad shanty.

Mr. Sparks is shanty-superiniend-ent at Slip-Up just now, aud is hav ing good success. a Zeb. Swaim contemplates soon building one aud one-half miles fence on his farm. He means business.— Girls youst look a little ont. He will be aiound.

Miss Phagley is teaching a good school at Bob-Tail school house. A man out north has done some grading who says he will just come Samson on it—that he will packoff about a half mile of the road. Considerable business at HardScrabble, north of Rensselaer, this spring. Tom Davisson is selling goods at that place: He selfs for ready pay, And lives to sell another day, Amos Alter has fenced his brush farm. The girl south of school house must look out. Fur want of a secretary the Sabbath school at Piannville is not yet fully organized. The King of Slip-Up is Supervisor, and is doing a good work on some the ponds. S. P. Thornton is expecting his son in-law home from Little Rock, Arkansas. •* Green Thornton is very poorly with Erysipelas. There will soon be a wedding at Piannoville The boys are gathering up all the bells aud putting them in good trim. H. St. Clair is going to build u nice house in Piannoville. We glory in his spunk, but think his judgment poor. Good night for th?, present. SAND-LAPPER. June 14th, 1881.

LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA. Kenawha Falls, W. Va„ 1 June 3, 1881. f Deak Mac.: Here we are in the mountains of West Virginia enjoying a ftw days of recreation after four years of college work. We number seventeen, and consist of the members of the senior class of Wabash College, under charge of Prof. Jonn Coulter. A stranger would fail to perceive in our crowd that dignity and gravity for which seniors are especially noted, for the fact is we came here to have a good, interesting and instructive time, before receiving our “sheepskins,” and we propose to do so, in defiance of the lex non scripta of fashion, and the antiquity of cus tom.

We came here principally for knowledge, but incidentally fcr several other purposes,—for the knowledge to he acquired in studying the geology of the country hereabouts, and in viewing the grand, massive, and won derful works of nature, as they are exhibited in the western spur of the Allegheny mountains, which entirely surrounds us, and in the deep, eroded valleys; through which meander the Great Kanawha rivpr, and its tribu taries. Incidentally we are here for the pleasure and health to be derived from the trip, for who needs travel more than students, who have been cooped up inter silvas Academi, for from four to six years, and who know npthing more of mountains than the

descriptions of them by Livy, and whose lives haye been pleasant romances, smacking of poetry, but having no cpnpection with the hard, pio§y reality to be experienced in “roughing it” a short distance from home? Ry the way, I wonder if the vinegar which Livy says Hannibal made use of to split the rocks when he crossed the Alps was anything similar to that which we get at this hotel? Methinks ptfr vinegar is strong and pungent enough to walk all over the Alps, and nothing Jbut granite could stand the attack. We left Crawfordsville on the iOth ult, at 3 a. m., prepared for the worst, being rigged out as if bound for the Kankakee marshes on a fishing excursion, and arrived at Indianapolis at 4a. m., without mishan. Here without delay, or a chance to refresh the inner man, which same means stomach, for some men are walking stomachs, and hence should be called inner ; men, of course not casting any seri- '

ous reflection upon the class, we hurried into a “Big 4” train bound for Cincinnati. There we arrived at 8:30 arm., and immediately set out to seek that which we might devour, and soon satisfied our fastidious tastes and ravenous appetites with a 15c. oreak fast. Then we started to see the sights which have extended, and will continue to extend the name and fame of Cincinnati, although the city itself has seen its palmiest days, and the sobriquet “Porkopolis”has wended its way northwestward. The Zoological gard u is, without doubt, the most attractive and interesting place in the city. The collection of animals is a good one. though several specimens were conspicuous for their absence. The carnivora were especially complete, but the collection of herbivora could be considerably added to. However, there were some very fine specimens of the latter; a fine pair of Giraffes, for instance, being especially interesting. There is a good collection of reptiles and birds. The garden is very beautifully situated, in a grove of native trees, about 400 feet above, and hence entirely overlook ing the city, and is traversed conveI niently by paths and walks. i The ascent to the garden is reachI ed by the celebrated inclined plane, ! which inclines about 35 degrees and is i traversed by cars the dimensions of i ordinary horse ears. They are pulled I up the incline by powerful cables attached to machinery above. Cincin1 nati was hot on the 30th ult., really hot, and we did nut on this account go to Spring-Grove Cemetery, to the decoration exercises, but went from the “Zoo” to our boat, and partook of a good square dinner, such as is c-nly served on board steamers. From our wharf we got a good view of the suspension bridge, aud it is sufficient to say it is a handsome, elaborate and almost marvellous structuie, and one of which the city may well be proud. Our steamer, the Fleetwood, a Cincinnati aud Huntington packet, runs in connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio RR., leading from Huntington to Richmond. She is 315 feet long, of proportionate width, and is very handsomely and substantially b lilt. She is provided with every modern convenience and improvement, and is one of the most com plete coats on the river. Her caoin rairly glitters. The great desideratum, space, is provided for below, and I was told that the contents of 117 ordinary freightcars could bestowed away in her hold and on her boiler deck.

While at the wharf I could not help but notice the difference in treatment of negro laborers employed in loading bouts on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The. Ohio darkies certain ly have a happy lot compared to their brethren, and theresultof kind treat* ment can very readily be seen in the readiness to work, aud the amount of work done. Well, we started nt 4 p. m., for Huntington. W. Va., on the tranquil Ohio, and it was a ride never to be forgot ten.

We sat on the bow of the cabin deck, watching the green hills of Ohio and Kentucky rise and fall us we’hurried along at 10 miles an hour. The scenery uti both banks was almost identical, but thy marks of progress, in other words the people,soon distinguished one from the other.— The houses on the Ohio side have been later constructed and are more substantial than in the corn-cracker State, and the fields, what we could see of them, were better cultivated on the North than opposite, aud bore many more marks of honest labor. When darkness came on we adjourned to the cabin, and with Ward at the piano, soon drew the cabin passengers around us to listen to ’“Roll, Jordan, Roll;” “Swoot By© and By©;” “A Little More Cider Too;” “There Is a Boarding House,” and the many other songs which the students inflict on the suffering public. Several Lebanon, (O.) Normal st udents, and a Van» derbilt (Nashville) student a ssted us in singing. These “Normalites” wore each of thema“re union” badge, about 6 inches square, made of gaudy ribbons of many colors aud sizes, which were about as “loud” as Norm al schools generally are. After an hour spent in singing most of the boys sought repose. Everything which taste or comfort could desire can be had on a good steamer, The boar Jis good and am pie, state rooms are commodious, aud furnished with every convenience, and employees arc generally obliging and accommodating, The cabin is a palace in itself. Steamboat travelling is free from the inconveniences of railroad travelling, no dust, no cinders, no delays, no irregular meals, no loss of sleep; everything goes on as if one were at his own fireside.

We passed Maryville and Ashton, Ky., aud Portsmouth and Ironton, 0., ou our route, and at 11 a. m., on the 31st ult., drew up to our wharf at Huntington, well pleased with our boat trip. We visited the State Normal School located here, and found it about as far behind our State Normal, as stage coaches are behind railway cars. It was more of a .undergarden school than a normal, but as only $3,000 had been-appropriated in several years to support it, it is not a great wonder that it is no bette”.

Huntington has 3000 people, and supports three newspapers, but it possesses that appearance of ennui so characteristic of Southern towns. At 6:45 p. m. we were on a Chesapeake and Ohio train speeding toward the mountains, and at exactly midnight arrived here, where we make our headquarters. But my letter is drawing itself out too long, and I will leave the most interesting part of the journey for another time, and then will also endeavor to give you some idea of West Virginia’s position, politics and people. Respectfully, A.

If people who are troubled with colds wo’d make use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral before attending chureh or public lectures, they would avoid coughing, and toe comfort of hearers and speaker would be greatly, pro. moled. The Pectoral enables public speakers to speak clearly and without fatigue, having an immediate and wonderful effect in increasing the power and flexibility of the voice.
