Congressional Committee Meeting.

The members of the Congressional Committee for the Tenth Congres sional district, consisting of the chairmen of the several county committees are requested to meet at the Council chamber in the city of Logansport on TUESDAY, JUNE 20th, 1882 at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of fixing tne time and place for holding the Congressional nominating convention. A. B. Crampton, Chairman Democratic Committee, Tenth District. Counterfeit $lO treasury notes, of the series of 1885, are afloat in Boston. On Monday of last week the tomb of ex -President Zachary Taylor, near Louisville, Kentucky, was profusely and handsomely decorated with flowers.

Jim Casey, a noted New Orleans carpet bag politician ! under the Kellogg government was stabbed to death, In a house of ill-fame, in that cit y, recently. Among the leading spirits in the recent North Carolina repuolican State Convention were Col. William Johnson, a malignant secessionist during the war, and District Attorney Boyd, the leader of a Kuklux band in 1870. A heavy rain-storm at I ndianapolis, Wednesday morning, flooded Pogue’s run and swept away a rotten foot 1 - bridge at the depot tunnel, by which eight persons were drowned. The destruction to property is estimated at $300,000.

Advices from Washington state that Republican Congressmen are not at all satisfied with the outlook.— They feel that they will suffer losses iu the northwest, and have nowhere to look for gains. They confess that they have no prospect of retaining control of the next house. Major Bitters, of Rochester, this State, rormerly the live editor of the Rensselaer Republican, started on Wednesday morning of last week for West Virginia where he will spend a few weeks or months introducing the Moorhead patent washing machine.--So says the Rochester Sentinel.

The resolution introduced in the Senate by Mr. Pendleton, on the sth inst., in regard to political assessments has excited a great deal of interest. Very many officeholders in all parts of the country who received the blacxmailing circulars are sending them to Mr. Pendleton and other democratic members of Oongrese, some with names and some without names or indication where they are from, except the postmark of the city or town at which they are mailed. On Wednesday Mr. Pendleton gave notice that on Monday he would call up his resolution for consideration.— It had been his intention to call it up earlier, but he deferred at the request of Senator Hale, who is absent thi s week, and is anxious to be present when the resolution is considered.— Mr. Hale is a member of the republican campaign committee, and his name is signed to the circular requesting “voluntary contributions.” The notice given .by Mr. P. that he will call up the resolution on Monday next leaves time for any one receiving such circulars to send them in, in order to show how widespread they have been circulated. It is the inten tion of the advocates of civil-service reform to expose and check this system of blackmailing employes under the guise of requesting “voluntary contributions.’'

Harper’s Weekly, having found ou‘ that “Stalwart means spoils,” inquires "what does half-breed mean?” The New York Herald very obligingly ans swers: “Well, a half-breed is a politician just as eager for the spoils as the other, but equally < ager to make men believe that he is not in the least ans*

ious on that point. He has all the j vices of the out-and-out spoils hunter, w.th the vice of hypocrisy in ad- ( dition. He is a. man who can snivel through the nose about civil service for four years or eight or twelve when he is not in power, and then cast civil service to all the winds of heaven in the first hour In which he obtains a position that might en ble him o put his theories in practice it he were honest. In fact, a half-breed in politics, is just like a half-breed between two races—he has the vices of both parents or parties and the virtues of neither.*

We trust the Dem .eracy of Jasper and Newton counties will exercise discretion and good judgment in the selection of a candidate for represent tative to the State Legislature. The do ’ law, the road law, the de cedent’s estate law, the masters commissioners’ law, the vaccination law, the jury commissioners’ law and some otners we might name, creating over two thousand new officeholders at an annual expense of more than one hundred thousand dollars to the tax payers of Indiana, are the legacies left us by the last Legislature. The masses begin to realize that Republican rule in our State is not the best boon imaginable. Mr, Gilman will no doubt be reno minated by the radicals. Any good Democrat, capable and honest, who will hold him strictly to the above enactments before the people, can be elected.

Editor of Sentinel —The Republican of June Btb, says the ticket nominated at the republican primary election is one in which are combined all the elements of strength, and gives universal satisfaction among the republicans. I suppose it does to the ring that made the nominations, but surely it does not to the voters and tax-payers of Jasper county. Please notice the name of S. R. Nichols, a candidate for County Commissioner* When agent tor constructing a bridge on the Iliff slough, near J. G. Culp’s, be made three trips—two of them when on his way to Gillam township to buy horses. He charged the county Forty-one dollars, being sl3 66| each trip, or about s4l per day for actual time spent. For proof of the foregoing, refer to the Commissioners’ record of March Term, 1881. Those having the Republican of March 24. 1881, can find it there.

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

Beoss, Kansas, May 25,1881. Editor Sentinel: Thinking a brief description of this part of the world might be of interest to the readers of your paper, and especially to those contemplating emigration, I concluded to write you a short letter. Kingman county is situated in the south ern part of Kansas. It is a new county, and as yet no screaming ironhorse has ever plowed its way thro’ this beautiful carpet of green grass and wild flowers, startling the antelope as it quietly feeds, or driving the jack rabbit from its bed in the vain belief that a chase is at hand. The country is watered by the Wenescah and Chicaskia and numerous creeks formed by gprings whose waters are almost as clear as crystal and abounding in numerous fish of different varieties. These streams, together with an abundance of good grass makes Kingman county one of the best, for stock raising, there is in the State.— The grass consists mostly of bluestem, broom and buffalo. When there is but little rain-fall the buffalo grass dries up, retaining all its nutritious qualities and makes as good feed as hay, and stock will get fat on it. But if there is much rain the dry grass is useless. The richness of the soil also makes this a desirable place for farming as almost every variety of cereals will grow well here after the land is in cultivation for some time The soifin this part of the county is black, with either a gravel or gypsum subsoil. The soil is exceedingly fine and I think might properly be termed a drift soil. The sub soil in some places is several feet below the surface while in others it is but a few inches,— Sometimes the gypsum is sn the sur face forming banks which, when seen at a distance, have tht appearance of snow-banks. This gypsum finds its way back east under the name of “scouring-dust,” and is readily sold to the tidy housekeeper who prides herself in keeping her tinware bright. It is used here as a substitute for lime, whole houses being plastered with it. It does very well if it does not get wet; but let it get wet and it all falls off. It is also put through some kind of a hardening process, made into hollow bricks, and used to build houses, being cemented together the same as the common building stone. I have never seen one of these houses but am told they are very nice and look somewhat like marble. The numerous rains and the late spring will prevent the wheat from ripening as early as Usual, but the prospect for an abundant crop is as good as it has been for several years. A great debl of corn has been planted, and preparations are being made to sow a great deal of millet. Farmers are very hopeful, and the future pros pects for Kingman county are any thing else than discouraging.

Kansas has long been talked of as a land of drouths and grasshoppers but the time is fast approaching when some of her older sister states will be obliged to stand aside, so rapidly is she gaining on them. There never was a State more basely misrepre seated than Kansas is, by people who come here expecting to get rich in ofie year. Money can be, and is, made here, but it cannot be made without labor any more than it can in any other country. Those who are willing to work and wait will b j successful. and that is the class of people we need In a new country. Here we have ne aristocracy, but all are on a “common level.” Every one is ready to oblige his neighbor, and a man is not judged by the number of cattle he has, but by his actions. Here let me say, that Hoosiers, after they have become acclimated, make the best Jayhawkers imaginable. Health is very good, and x really believe that doctors have a worse time of it here than any place I have ever seen.— The air is so pure that one can almost feel that at every breath it ims parts new life and strength—so different is it from many other places. There are no ponds and marshes here to hold stagnant waters, therefore we have no ague. As the surface of the country is rolling thejwaters do not

not stand upon the ground long enough to become impure. We have had a great deal of rain this spring, Out there has not been a time that farmers could not either plow did ground or sod, and the roads have been but little muddy. Teams could travel with heavy loads arfy time. This is a perfect paradise for sportsmen. In early spring geese flock in by the countless thousands, ami still later large droves of antelope can be seen grazing around over the prairie, while the drumming of the prairie chicken and the cackling or the grouse, together with the songs of innumerable little birds, is the first thing that strikes the ear on a bright morning. Since I have been here I have seen what I have always wished to see, and what has lured many a weary traveler on to death, in the vain hope that what he most wished for was at band I ha\ e seen a mirage. Tey usually have the appearance of a great lake of water, and sometimes of livers. When I saw the fiist one the day was very still and clear, and the waters ,of it scarcely seemed to ripp e. But on a day when the wind blows, the hi ge waves can plainly 1 • seen rising and falling and lasting the shore. They looked very beautiful to me, and I suppose they do to every one unaccustomed to seeing them. No doubt these mirages will not be such a common occurrence when the land once gets under culti vation, and groves and orchards take the place of glass. How long this will be one cannot tell Although the country is settling very rapidly, tnere are thousands of acres of unoccupied land, only waiting to be taken as claims. These may be taken in tracts from 40 to 160 acres. And why do young men work, all their lives, by the month, or lent farms, paying dearly so? th«m, when here they can get a quarter of a section ol good land for s2oo* and krowthat all the hard wuik they put upon it is for themsalves. If persons who are d<» sirous of having a home of their own would but do this they could soon realize the difference between working for some one eke and working for themselves, and Horace Greeley’s “Go west, young man!” would be fully realized and appreciated Respectfully, Yours, M. J. B.

Gleanings from Kingman County, Kansas. Health very good, Fine prospect for crops. Plenty of fine showers. Corn 80 cents per bushel. Good cows from $35 to S4O. Kingman county has a good prospect for a railroad., Charles McCurtain Is recovering from a spell of sickness. All the other Hoosiers are well and prosperous. Bart. Boroughs’ house was struck by lightning, during a thunder-storm, a shoit time ago. No one hurt. Land hunters are on the wing, Kingman county is settling rapidly, but let them come, there is stili room for more. Kingman, the capital of Kingman county, is building ud rapidly this spring. It has quite an umber of dry goods, grocery and hardware stores, supports two newspapers, has as good a mill as there is in the State, and a good school. This is the place in which to live, laugh and grow far. Mr. Will Parker, his brother, and Mr, and Mrs. Manning, of Reno county, relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Levi F. Clouse, were visiting that pleasant couple last week. They are well pleased with this part of the county and talk of locating here. Query: What has become of the Sentinel reporters? We would like to see each township represented every week. Though we are iar from there, still we have an interest ih the Sentinel.—ln fact we couldn’t do without it. Jayhawler Jennie. June 1,1882.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.

The Hon. George H, Chapman, a Republican Senator from Marion county, has written the following lets ter to the Indianapolis Journal on the subject of amending the Constitution of the State, It is sound law and good common sense: Editor Journal:—With no desire to trespass on your columns, or uooti the patience of your readers, I assume that the importance of the question whether the Republican party should commit itself to , the support of the four proposed amendments to the Constitution now pending before the people which has at least th a merit of originality, so far as I am advised. You say in efiect you “apprehend the people understand the Constitutional provisions perfectly,”? and ‘-‘under ordinary circumstances will permit their representative in the General Assembly to do their legislative workaccording io those provisions, but, “in cases of extraordinary importance or exceptional circumstances” wiil exercise their “inherent sovereignty.”— This seems a little misty, for the term “inherent sovereignty” is very vague and you have failed to disclose definitely what you mean by it. I infer, however, that the idea you wo’d convey is that when the pruvisfons of the Constitution hinder or impede what those people, who understand Constk tutional provisions as perfectly, wish to accomplish, then those people propose to set such provisions at defiance. This, if successfully accomplished, is revolution. If backed by a small force it is mobocracy; if by a large force it is rebellion. I must be permitted to doubt whether any considerable number of “the people” propose to invoke this “inherent sove. reignty” just now.

You wish to know “tffrat member of the Legislature is clothed with the Divine right of Kings” as to refuse to Obey an instruction from his constiU Heucy “toagree to the amendments so that the people in their primary capacity may consider them.” Passing over the fustian about “Kings,” I an< swer that every member is entitled to exercise the Divine attribute of conscience, and has a right, and it is his duty, not to follow any instruction from his canstituency which, in his judgment, requires him to disregard the Constitution. There is nothing in the sixteenth article requiring the General Assembly to “agree to” a proposed amend men! “so that it may be submitted.” On the contrary, the clear, imperative requirement is that that the General Assembly shall consider the merits of the proposition and agree to it, or not, according as their judgment shall approve or condemn it, and that Constitutional provision binds the people as well as the Individual legislators. I pointed out in my former coni’munication that by the letter of the Constitution the General Assembly had nothing whatever to do with the question of submission, or no submission, for if two consecutive Genera 1 Assemblies “agree to” a proposed amendment, the,Constitution; makes an duty to submit.— There can be no submission without previous legislative adoption. I de-

g re to rail attention to another feature of the sixteenth article, which further fortifies this position, it that b? possible. What dues the Constitution say a propt sed Amendment shall be sutm g $d to electors for? To “ratify. To ratify what? Certainly not the act o' submitting it to them, though you say that is all the legislature has io do, and by consequence all there co’d be to ratify. That would be child’s p av. What then? Why. t > “ratify” o leiusa-to “ratify” tho action of the pr< posed amendment. In other words, if the two General Assemblies do a ree to a proposed the people have reserved to the electors a veto power tnrough a direct vote. — The Sixteenth Amendment is something of a thorn in your flesh. I don’t wonder you have seized bold of a section of the bill of rights as a banner for your “inherent sovereign t/” doctrine.and when that flag go< * down, I expect to see you come up smiling With the Declaration of Independence or the Decalogue. Whilst your argument that resolving in favor of submitting the proposed amendments to a direct vote of the people is meaningless as to the merits of such propositions may be satisfactory to yourself and to those who are in favor of those nroposed amendments, you may rest assured that it’ ' ill not deceive such as are' opposed to them, oi any of them.— These opponents will not fall to ap predate the} importance of fighting proposed Constitutional amendments at every stage. And in this connec tion you should bear in mind that, while there were petitions in favor of some of the proposed amendments, there are others for the passage of v. hichnot a soul petitioned. They all stand on the same footing before the people, each having passed the first stage toward final adoption.

A preacher in Tennessee tried to establish a Church in’whieh there should be no members who used tobacco or any beverage but water, a.id his only congregation was ,an old woman who chewed slippery-elm and believed in catnip tea ior measles. Banjo playing is becoming a fashionable accomplishment in Connecticut, and some of the prettiest young ladies and matrons of Hartford display much proficiency in performing on the despised instrument heretofore monopolized by the negro minstrel troupes. It is in special demand for summer evenings, out of doors, with vocal accompaniment. The Paris correspondent of the Lancet writes: “There is no doubt that a great number of dyspeptic cases that arQ met with in civilized countries owe their origin to the abuse oi mineral waters; the result being undue dilitation of the stomach, and the production of atonic dyspepsia, one of the most harrasslng forms of malady for both patient and physician.”

Cases of alleviation of heart troubles are freely reported in the medical journals as due to the use of nitro-glycerine in drop doses. The effects of the drug are described as sedative, gently narcotic, and, in larger doses, not unlike alcohol. It would be interesting to know how soon a “nitro-glycerine habit” will be added to the increasing varieties oi drug enslavement. A Loudon paper tells how,'when a certain Dean of Chester was all ready to perform a marriage between persons of nigh stan -ing, the bride was very late.— When she reached the alter, to the question, “Wilt thou take thi- man ?’’ she replied in distinct tones, “I will not.” On retiring with the .Dean to the vestry she explained that her late arrival was not her fault, and the bridegroom had accosted her on her arrival at the Church with —“G—d d —n you, if this is the way you begin you’ll find it to your cost when you’re my wife.” So she decided to remain single.

Constitutional Amendments.

The following are the four amendments proposed to be made to the State UonstL tuiion. They were adopted by the las t legislature and will be befoie the next le gislature for adoption er rejection: Sec. 1.

Sec. 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for by the Constitution, every citizen of the United States, of the age of twenty-one years and Upwards, who shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in township sixty days, and in the ward or .precinct thirty days, immediately preceding such election, and every person of foreign birth of the age of twenty-one years and up. wards, who shall have resided in the United States one year, and who shall have resided in this State during the six months, and in the township sixty days and in the ward or precinct thirty days’ immediately preceding such election, and shall have declared his or her intention to become a pitizen of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to a vote in the township ward or precinct where he or she may inside if he or she shall have been dulv reck» tered according to law.

Diphtheria.—Quite a discovery in the treatment of diphtheria has been made. A young man whose arm ha t Lean amputated, was attacked by diph. theria before healing took place, and instead of the matter from that disease being deposited In the throat, the greater portion appeared on the wounded aim, and the disease was very light and easily managed. Dr. la-is, of Mankato, profited by tins, and in his next case of diphtheria blistered his patient’s chest, and on the blistered part the chief deposits appeared. This was also an easy case The theory of Dr. Davis is that diphtheria usually appears in the thro it because of the thinness of the lining of the ihroat Hence, when the blister breaks the sain upon any other part of the body, the disease appears there.
