HENDRICKS MONUMENT.

The epublicai] House of Representatives of Ohio, acting on the impulse which actuated that party in 1870, “counted ia" 0 Republican representatives who had no more claim than Hayes had to the Presidency. The list of the committees for the several townships in Jasper county, in the interest of the Hendricks Monument project, will he found in another column. Thro’, out the State, and im other States, the people have engaged in the work vigorously. Let Jasper county not lag behind. Keep it steadily in view.that while the fame of Thomas A. Hendricks belongs to thj wholo country, and he was the people’s Vice President, he was an Indianian. Go to work. The New York World of Januuary 12th has a double leaded dispatch on the silver question, from Washington, supposed to be from the pen of Mr. Pulitzer. The dispatch contains the following significant sentences: “There is no chance for the suspension of silver coinage by the present Congress. It is useless for the financiers of the East to cherish the delusive hope. The real facts of the solution may as well be recognized. All the speculation about the composition of the Committee on Coinage is secondary. It will make little difference what the committee may do. The House itsel f is strongly against the suspension of coinage. The probabilities are that when Congress adjourn t next August the situation will be precisely the same as it is lip-day. All the agitation of the question in the interval, whether in C >ngross or out, will be without avail. The chances of a free coinage bill being pushed through the House are greater than the chances of the suspension of the present coinage. Bucli a bill would, of course, be vetoed by the President, and that would leave matters just as they are.” He adds further that the question is not sectional. Pennsylvania is divided. A careful canvass of the House leaves no doubt that one-third of the Republican members and two-thirds of the Democrats will vote against suspension, securing a majority of sixty in favor of the continued coinage of silver. Only eight comparatively small States in the East and Northeast want suspension.

Death op Judge Huff.— Judge Samuel A. Huff was in attendance on the Jasper Circuit Court at the beginning of the term, last week, and returned to his home, in Honticello, Thursday, Jan. Btb. That night he retired as usual in apparent good health, and as was his custom, spent some time reading in bed with the lamp on the stand by his bed side. The next morning when called he gave no answer, and the family upon ntering hiroom found him unconscious, the lamp burning brightly, his magazine from which ne had been read, ing, lying uponftbe floor with one cover torn off, and his glasses upon the bed by his side. He never regained consciousness, and in spite of all that medical aid could do sank steadily until, death ended his earthly pilgrimage. His age was 74 years, 2 months and 24 days. In another column we publish resolutions of respect adoptted at a meeting of the RensselaaBar. j
