GOOD WORDS FROM AN INDEPENDENT STANDPOINT.

Remington News: We publish this week the Democratic nominations for couuty officers, and certainly not one of the inhabitants of Jasper county need blush for shame if the entire lot bo elected. With some of them we have been acquainted for years and know them to be honest and capable, and men who will perform their duties without favor or partiality, and judging from tfie manner in which they conduct their own business, will manage the afiairs of the county jus diciously and economically. N. S. Bates, candidate for Clerk, was for many years a resident of Carpenter township, and although engaged in business that brought him prominently {before the community left not an enemy when he removed to' Rensselaer. He is worthy the confidence of the public, E. C. Nowels, candidate for re-elec tion as Auditor, has a record that speaks for itself, and he is too well known throughout the county to need any words of praise. James T. Randle, for Treasurer, is one of tne most respected inhabitants of Jasper county, whose honor and integrity is unimpeachable. Everybody knows that J. W. Du vail possesses the qualifications and energy to make a capital Sheriff.

John T- Ford, for Recorder, welf known in this township, is possessed of fine business qualifications, and the confidence reposed in him by his employers is sufficient evidence of industry and integrity. S. Healey, for Coroner, is a good selection and understands the business, having already had experience in that line., No better man can be found in this district for the position than Edward Culp, candidate for Commissioner.— The interests of the county at large will never suffer through any neglect or wrong doing of his. With the other candidates we are not acquainted, but are assured by those who know and in whom we place confidence, that they are all No* 1 men. worthy the honor tendered them, and if elected will fill the offices, with credit to themselves and'tb thecounty.

Mr. Pendleton, in the Senate, re- j /erring to Hubbeli’s blackmailing eir' cular, said: The circular has been sent to the Boston Custom House —700 copies of it—and a demand made for an aggregate of $15,000. It has been sent to the Armory at Springfield, and an assessment of $lB been made upon each armorer in that Institution. It has been sent to the great offices in N. Y., the Post Office and the Custom j House, and the Collector’s Office, and | the various institutions connected with the Government here. They have won exceptional crsdit by reason of their freedem from the debasiug arts of political assessments, and j;et are again to be plunged into the.mire from which they so laboriously emerged. It has been sent oq.t to employes in Chicago, and assessments made there of $9 30. It has been sent to every Postmaster in the country; at least I have returns from almost every State east of Nevada. It has been s«nt to the men engaged upon the in the Ohio River at Marietta, and sl3 has been assessed and de manded of men wh j day by day for their daily wages cut stone for making the dam It has Leen sent to every employe in the Departments in Washington, every clerk, and they have been assessed in various sums, from $lB to SSO. This circular has been sent to men who are engaged in daily labor in the Capitol grounds, in digging up and beautifying those grounds, and $0 has beeu assessed ! upon each of them. It has been sent to the boys in the printing office to whom gou pay only $1 a day and furlough them without pay, and $7 has been demanded from each of them. It has been sent to enlisted men in the Army and an assessment 9f $lB made upon men who are paid from the Army appropriation bill. Wher > ever a name can be found upon the pay-roll of the Government for any amount, great or small, this circular has been sent, and it is being sent now to those to whom time has not allowed it to be sent before. I said it had been sent to every clerk in all these Departments. Why, sir, it has be6u sent to those unfortunate ladies whom the exigencies of life i now compel to support a family off the pittance earned painfully by them, which would scarcely have sufficed to dispense their yearly charities in other days. It uas been sent to the women who scrub the Departments in this oity, and whose poverty is so great that when they leave for their daily i-work they are obliged to lock up in their close and fetid rooms the infant children, Who can not be allowed to wander in danger in the streets. It has bee sent to the employes of the Senate, and men have been required to pay S3O in order that they may hold their placesGo and see the new stock of Gro'ceries at A. Leopold’s old store.
