PUBLIC MEETING.

All citizens of J SP r Owty, wmhave opinion utoo the subject <.f removing artificial obstructions to the flow cf water in the lioquois River n requested to meet nt the Court House in Rens‘elr.<r. on Saturday.- May 13th A D 1882, at IP. M- to take action. ‘MANY CITIZENS ’

“George M. Rotinsonjis to have no opposition in the Republican party for nomination to the office of Audi tor of Jasper County ” said a member of the radical ring recently. How does he know? or is it dictatorial die turn. There is “many a slip ’twixt. the cup and the lip.”

James H. Rice, of Frnkfort, will be a candidate before the Democratic Stite Convention, for nomination to the office of Auditor of State. .He is worthy and capable, and we should like to see him the Democratic nominee for that, positon.

Some people t-ay the laboring people do not have to pay any taxes. They over-look the fact that ail the benefits derived are what they get from labor and in the end it is labor that pays al j that is ever paid on a National debt; and in the end the laboring classes pay all the bills of Nations and individual!-.

The German population of Cincinnati is so large that it supports three daily papers printed in GermanTwo of these have always been re liable Republican. They both now invite their patrons to follow them not only out of the Republican but into the Democratic camp. The effect upon the vote of Ohio may be imagined.

By the way, a few months ago sev. eral leading Republican newspapers announced at brief intervals that the Morey letter would be traced beyond doubt to a prominant National Democratic committeeman. The trail must have come too fresn to suit the political hounds who did the scenting. It is rumored that the author of the Morey letter is positively known in Washington and that he is not a Democrat. Now, honest Indian! Messieurs Republicans, who did write the Morey letter?

In the Louisiana election of 1872 a certifica'e was given to the repub'ican candidate for congress in the Shreveport district, and the democra'ic candidate entered notice contest. The Republican died before taking his seat, and Governor Kellogg ordered a new election, which went Republican by default, the Democrats relying upon their claim to the original election. Before the h ouse —a republican house —that democratic claimant was declared to have no status because the second election had supervened and was not contested. A precisely similar case comes up in the republican house of the present congress. A democrat received the ceritfieate of election iti South Carolina, and died. A special election was ordered by the governor, and, the seat being already claimed bv the republican candidate, the election went by default. Now a republican committee recommends to a republican house a reversal of the republican precedent of ten years ago, and tnat the South Carolina democrat be summarily bounced from his seat because the South Carolina republican claimant has a status which the house must respect. The case is the same; but, the political considera tions involved being different, precedent is not to govern the decision.

As the Republican denounced the I queries” put to Mr. Porter before the recent election, and the contrast made between his administration of the office o f trustee and that of Mr. Strong, Democrat, of Newton township, as “cowardly and mean,” we have dore nur utmost to have that organ examine the records and give the public the result, but have entirely failed. An examin ation shows a voucher received by Mr* Porter Jan. 3d, 1881, $650, for redding 11 school houses which amount to $59.09 per house. This voucher should have been put in Kt'.lement with the Commissioners at December term, 1881. The voucher filed in settlement by Mr. Strong, December, 1881, bears date Nov. 5,1880 $126.00, for rodding s.school houses, amount to $25,20 per house, Every “tax-payer” is interested in these matters, and if it is ‘ cowardly and mean’’ to inquire about them, then it was and mean.” The vote did not answer the “queries” it •imply showed that many Republicans did not investigate the matter, but ac-->nted the mouthings of certain aspir*at» and went in blind. We regret that Mt. Porter has not shown himself • BO successful in the practice of economy I m Mt. Strong. But then economy is •oi one of the virtues of the RepublifM party.

Attorney General.

[Evannville Oourier.j It is announced by authority that ( Hon. David Turpie/ of Indianapolis, will accept the nomination for the office of Attorney General. The State es Indiana has risen before now to do honor to tnis distinguished citizen. Hia party once nominated him for Lieutenant Governor, and although he was not elected, defeat brought no discredit to his name, for he only shared the fortunes of the others on the Democratic ticket. Subsequently he was chosen by the Legislature to fill the unexpired term of Jesse D. Bright in tne United States Senate. Although his time in the Senate was short, he left an impression upon that body that h s never been forgotten. Since then Judge Turoie ...is <!<•'.-<>•■ <! ; ; m-> r ex< 1.-.-ively 0 'he ; 1.1- tier i.f i»i«- law, in which i rofession h« occupies a prominent place in the foieino-t rank of Indiana jurists. Io the winter of 1879 he was appointed by Governor Williams as one of the three Commis-ioners to codify the 1. W* of the State, and his scholary effcr s in this important work have become a part of he history of Indiana. No man is bettei qualified to perform the duties of At torney General. As an advocate, he has no superior; as a scholar law aud literature few men are as widely known. He would interpret the laws withan inteligouce that has rarely adorned our department of justice,, and the Courier believes that he Democratic Convention will show its appreciation of his gieat services to the State and :o the party by giving him the nomination which he has consented to accept. [Winamac Democrat.] Out this way the Democrats have set their eyes upon the Judge for our next Attorney General, aud they ex pect not only to see him nominated, but elected. [Michigan City Dispatch.] Mr. Turpie is known and respected by the whole Democracy of the State; lie is a politician of singular clearness of thought, and a speaker of extreme force and elegance. While he would run well everywhere, ae would meet an enthusiastic reception in the North western Counties, where tie p-onle have often voted for him in the gallant contests th. t he made against Colfax when a Democratic victory was impossible. [South Bend Times.] The name of Hon. David Turpie, of Indianapolis, is very fovorably mentioned by the Democratic Press of Indiana tor the position of Attorney General on the Democratic ticket at the approaching State Convention. Mr. Turpie is well known to the read ers of ho Times as a lawyer of fine accomplishments a.id as a politician who has devoted much hara labor on the stump to the advancement of Democrati ideas in Indiana. Ho would be a strong cand date, and has a .arge and enthusiastic following among the gallant Democrats of Northern Indiana. [Fort Wayne Sentinel.]

Hon. David Turpie aspires to the position of Attorney General of Ind*, iuna. Politically there is no man in the Dem >cratic party better entitled to recognition and the position he seeks than is Mr. Turpie. and professionally he would do honor to and elevate to its proper sphere the office of Attorney General. [Logansport Pharos.] David Turpie is to d.iy one of the srongest men intellectually in the State, and the Democrats could not secure a stronger oandidate.for Attorney General. [Peru .Sentinel.] Hon. David Turpie, of Indianapolis, will oe a canidate before the next Democratic State Convention for At torney General. Mr. Turpie is well known, not only to the citizens of Miami County, but throughout the State is an able attorney and a con sistent Democrat. His nomination should be acceptable to the people of the State, as there are none more capable and none more thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office. Our old friend Judge Turpie is re--ceiving a boom for the office of Attor ney General. As the nominee he would make it decidedly hot for his opponent in the canvass. And if elected will give to the position a dignity it does not now possess. As a lawyer he has no superior in the Stato. If he will accept, it is to the interest of the State and the Democratic party that he be placed in nomination.

Mr. Dewitt in his speech favoring a reduction of the present oppressive system of protection, said “that it. was dangerous to delay action on the tariff We are now prosperous, but our prosperity will continue only so long as there is an adequate market for our products. At present we have a foreign market chiefly for raw materials such as food products, cotten. petroleum, and tobacco. For our manufactured products the markets of the world are perpetually closed against us. We tax food, of which we are the great exporters; we tax wool which is the great foundation of a vast indus>« try; we tax bituminous coal, iron ore scrap iron, which lies at the base of the great iron and steel industry; we tax coi per ores, alcohol, and oils, and numerous chemicals, whithout which many branches of industry cannot exist. Having thus created an artificial system, we find ii impossible to compete with Great Britain and France and Germany, whose industry stand up the firm and national basi 3 of tree raw material. This defect in our revenue system could be remedied by a joint resolution in one week,and the Committee on Waysand Means could ♦hen take as much time as might be needed to consider and adjust the infinite detail Involved in the reconstuctiotf of a tariff covering 2,500 articles. Unless a remedy be speedily applied, the industry of this country wilt be surfeited by the excess of products for which it can find ao market. If good harvests should be secured abroad, we shall have a great surplus of food upon our hand 8 and the price will fall. Wages will go down with the fall in prices. The rc. duction of wages will be resisted by strikes and lockouts. The conflict between capital and labor will be reopened, and,indeed havingalready be> gnu. The prosperity of the country will be arrested. Railroad transportation will faH off. New railroads will c 'ase to be constructed. Our shops will lack work; there will be a dearth of employment all over the country. The volume of immigration will fall

off, and the career of, expansion and I general developement will be brougl t to a disastrous conclusion. The sad •Xpscience of 1873-76 will be repeated until through the gate of suffering poverjy, and want, we shall establish a lower rate of wages, and the products of the country, weighed as th&y are with obstructive taxes, which mu.-t be deducted from the wages of labor will force their way into the opeu markets of the world in spite of the tariff”

It protection is a good thing, prohibition is a better one; and the best of all would be to close all our ports against foreign nations, and surround ourselves with an impassable wall, like China and Japan. Commerce is the exchange between nations of their surplus commo< 1 ies, a d tl ere must be some reciprocity or there can be no foriegn trade. Whatever shuts out imports shuts in exports. If we would sell we must also buy, or there is an end of trade. Trade’cannot bo kept tip long where the cash is all on one side. The friends of protection do not state the issue fairly. They try to force it between protection aud absolute free trade. Nobody is for.free trade just now. The wants of the Government are so great that all agree a very a large amount of revenue must be raised from the customs. The difference is, the manufacturer wan's tariff so high upon all articles that come in competition with him as to keep them out altogether, or load them so heavily with charges as to destroy competition. We want a tariff that will yield the most revenue at the lowest pate of assessment, Free trade would yield no revenue, While prohibition would be equally fruitless

We want, a lower tariff with larirer importations which will give the Government more revenue and the people more comforts. We want foreign competition in our own markets, to give us lower prices and bet-, ter goods. The amount of revenue now derived from customs is about $200,000,000, collected from about $400,000,000 of imports that come in competition with domestic products. This $200,000 000 comes from the pockets of the people, but they pay it cheerfully, because it goes into their treasury to support their govs ernment. But this tax has a reflex action, against which the people protest.

This tariff not only increases the price of imported goods, by the amount of duty assessed, but it augments the price of all that is manufactured and consumed at home, which is many times greater than the imports. A Louisville merchant goes to New York to lay in a stock of goods, He first enters an English importing house, and prices a bale of coarse woolen cloth, which is two dollars per yard; “But”says he “I bought this cloth before the war at one dollar.” “True,” says the Englishman, “but your government has put on a duty of one dollar per yard, and I have only added that to the price.” Our merchant pays for the goods and the importer puts one dollar into his own pocket, and the other into our treasury. Now this is revenue and goes to support the government. “He now r crosses the street to an American’s house and examines a similar bale of domestic goods and finds the prices exactly the same. “But how is this,” says he, “you pay no duty and yet sell as high as the Englishman ” “True,” says the sales man, -‘You see the foreign article fix--es the price, and we ask .two dollars because'we can get merchant pays the two dollars a yard and the manufaturer puts every dollar into his own pocket and not a cent into our treasury. Now this is protection.

Proof is daily that the last Legislature was the most incompetent body of lawmakers that ever convened in Indianapolis. Pretty nearly every member had some pet piece of legislation which lie wished to push through. ‘‘You scratch my back and I will scratch yours” seemed to be the policy that ruled, resulting in much bad and indifferent legislation. Crudeness and ambiguity entered largely into the worTt. The laws enacted are susceptible of conflicting interpretations, and the Attorney General, notwithstanding the large stock of opinions which he usually carries in stock, has but little else than bare shelves to offer those who now call upon him to aid them in solving the puzzles,’conundrums and acrostictics which the last Legislature turned out under the name of laws.—Wabash Courier.

It may not be generally known but it is a fact nevertheless that the Supreme Court of Indiana has decided that when any person Is damaged by falling on an 111-kept, or deficient sidewalk, or is injured in any manner by the negligence of any property-hold* er relative to his property, then should the citizen sue and recover damages from the city, the city in turn can recover damages, with co>ts of original suit, from the negligent property-holder. Certain parths should take the hint.

On Monday evening the Republls cans met at the Court Hou?e and as considerable feeling exists between the “Stalwart” and “Halfbreed” elements of the party, a good attendance was had. each faction having in view the control of the meeting. The “Stalwart” (Wide-awake) cry that no half-breeds be placed on the ticket proved that faction to be in the ascendency. The present Marshal, Charley Platt, an eld soldier whose wounds, received in battle, and not yet fully healed, was forced aside. In like manner, and by the same faction, the present clerk, .Tim Morgan, was informed that there was no place for him on the ticket Considerablejcomplalnt is made that many non residents of the copora’ion took part in the interests of the Stalwarts.

LOGANSPORT PRESBYTERY.

The regular spring session of the Presbytery qf Logansport was held at the church, in Valparaiso, en Tuesday and Wednesday ot last wce«c. M nisteifiand Elders to the number of about twentyfive from the various churches were present, The session was opened Tuesday evening, by Rev. W. E. Loucks as Moderator, who also delivered the opening sermon. The sermon was an excellent one and well worth the close attention which It received. Rev. Koller, of South Bend, was chosen moderator, and Rev. McConnell, temporary merk, Rev. Kendall was afterward chosen permanent clerk. At 8:10a. m., on Wednesday, a goodly number assembled for prayer and praise. Some of the churches prav that’thegood seed sowtfifiiay spring up and bear fruit, but many offer praise that an abundant harvest has been gathere In. Several of the visiting ministers participated in the exercise and the hour was spent pleasantly and profitably by all. At this meeting Rev. Work stated that he had held a two week’s meeting at Mishawaka. and a great awakening has taken place. Twenty-five persons have been added to the church, and more will join at the next session. At 9:30, after a short intermission, the moderator opened the exceicises by offering prayer. The mt intes of the last meeting of the Presbytery I were read by the Stated Clerk, Bev. R. Beer, am , after a slight correction they were adopted. It will be remembered that the last meeting was held at Crawfordsville in October. The appointment of various committees on church work came next, and was soon disposed of satisfactorily. Under the head of “unfinished business.’’statistical reports of the Home Mission Society were turned over to the new committee. The case of Rev. S. Fleming, which has received considerable attention, was referred to the judiciary committee. As nearly as we can learn, the case stands as follows: Several years ago the presbyters gave a letter of dismissal to Rev. Fleming and addressed it to a certain Stated Presbytery. The brother, however, to until with some other Presbytery than the one named, but was denied admission as not holding a proper letter of dismissal. A disaffected feeling naturally sprang up, and the brother determined to w'ork independent ot ail Presbytecies. The question with the present session is “What record shall be made of the casei" The report of the committee, on Installations, recommending that Rev. George P. Keller bo installed as pastor at South Bend, Tuesday evening, May 16th, was adopted. Rev. E. H. Post was received as a member from the Crawfordville Presbytery. Rev. It. L. Adams was given a letter of dissmissal to the Indianapolis Presbytery.

Rev. Wiley K. Wright, from the Union Theclogical Seminary, was received into the care of the Presbytery. lie has been supplying the church at Sfishawaka and will be installed as its pastor in May. ‘ What is. the duty of a minister in refqjence. to an adult presented by a christain parent for baptism, such adult confessing laith in Christ, but not desiring to be received into the church J” This question was referred to the Committee on Bills and Overtures at the last session. The Committee reported that the minister should not perform the ceremony. The Committee on Education reported the collection of funds during the past year as beii g quite extensive. Remington was chosen as the ptlace for meeting of the Presbytery, and the Monday evening before the meeting of the Synod as the time. A call from the Broadway church at Logansport ; for Rev. Scott to become their pastor was accepted by him. Twelve o'clock having arrived, the Presbytery adjourned till 8 p. m. The hour from 2 to 3. was devoted to the hear, ing of writing reports from the various churches. The Valparaiso church reported many accessions. The members are cousideing the building of a new church more than ever before Rev. Crowe reported the Michigan City church as in good condition. The Logansport church is llourishing. The Remington Presbyterians have been working against many odds,.but faithful work has been done. The past year has not been an encouraging one at Plymouth. At West Union the attendance is good, and con sidersble interest is manifested. Rochester and Mt. Zion have made progress and done good work in the Master’s cause. South Bend (Ind.) has been without a pastor. Monticello has received fifteen accessions and many more have become interested. South Bend (Ist) has received into fellowship 60 persons. Rensselaer has made some progress, but the prospect is discouraging, Walkerton is a small church but the field is a hopeful one. Hebron has been supplied by a student from the Western Seminary Logansport (Broadway) met, with a great loss in the death of the pastor last spring. Rev. Scott has commenced work with good prospects of success. Logansport (Ist) is in good ron liction. Eight thousand dollars were raised to pay a sixty-four hundred dollar debt. Taking all in ail, tbe work in tlv churches of this Presbytery during the pas: winter has been quite successful, tn y a few ■ hurehes report little advancements while a majority report nun c - ous accessions. Apetition from life t- township. While Co., asking that a church be established there, wr s read and consideren. Action was deferred till the fall meeting.

The records of the various churches were appro ved by the examiners with a few unimportant ex' ceptions. “Should a minister perform a marriage sermo >y where one of the parties have been divorced for other than scriptural reasons?” The committee on Bills and Overtures reported negatively to the above question, and, after sonsiderablo discussion, tenir report was adopted. Revs, Little and Flood were chosen ns Commissioners, and Revs. Herr and Postas alternates, to the General Assembly to be held at Springfield, 111., in the near future. “Gastromony and Sociability” came next on the programme. The members of the Presbytery proceeded to the reside.hce of Mr. Joseph Gardner where they thoroughly enjoyed tlie “cold bite” that hac been prepared for them. At:3o the evening session was opened with singing and prayer. The topic for the evening was “A discussion of the best means of spreading the gospel within our bonds.” Rev. Smith rend the report of the Homo Missions. This was an interesting paper and contained many valuaflle suggesstions. The fietd of work for Home Mission is a very large one aud received much attention. Several interesting speeches were made, one of which bv Rev. Taylor, who had had experience in this line, completely brought down the house by its humor. A motion, was made aud carried that s committee be apppointed to inquire into the status of of the vacant churches and iniplov a home missionary if found practicable. A subscription was started for the support of such a missionary, which soon swelled to quite a large sum, thus making sure of the practicability viewed from a financial stand-point. Elder Drawns, of Tassinong, reported the church as vacant since last August and badly indeed of a pastor. Hebron has a membership of twenty.fiyc and they aru desirous of being supplied, being now without regular services. The thanks of the Presbytery were extended to Rev.
