TIIK suggestion in the Virginia convention that Mr. Blaine be nominated for Vice President, with Grant for President, is said to have emanated from persons working in tlie latter'a interest. Those who are in a positiou to know say that under no circumstances would Mr. BlainQ accept a second place.

It says: "The Press has no sympathy with those antithird termers who would bolt Grant if he is nominated. It prefers any other He publican candidate to Grant, but it prefers Grant to any Demacratic adroinistra tlon controlled by tho late Southern Con federacy."

Kiev. F. D. MOORK, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Covington. Kentucky, has been pronounced a heretic by the Ebenexer Presbytery of Kentucky. The charge was that he delivered a sermon on the 7tli day of March, claiming that there is no law in the Bible for the English and part of Uie American T*gula tions, He defended himself in an elaborate paper and withdrew from the Presbytery when the vote of "guilty" was announced. He couldn't stand the Ebene *er.

Constitutional amendment No. i. recently adopted by the people, will apply to all city and town elections which take place in this State a week from to-mor-row. It require* a residence in the township of sixty days, and in the ward or precinct of thirty days immediately proceding the election, as a qualification for voting.—IndiamMpeU*

Jmm%ai of srtster

(fcWLet every man who has the interest of the whole people at heart look carefully to the interest of pure elections and see that the law is strictly enforced. As the Democratic party is composed largely of tramp*, it will be well for the Republicans to scan every stranger closely who attempts to cast a vole, and if there are any violations by flection laws have the violators prosecuted without delay. The Republicans of Indiana now have it in their power to carry the state,, if they Will only be vigilant and careful

At our Township election the police were very busy, in violation of law intimidating voters, and tberr are how three or four policemen in the Fourth Ward who moved there a few days ago, and who will not be entitle*! to a vote. If the Republie*a« will watch th«n and pttwecute them if they attempt it. we can soon gH rid of such violates of the law.

Is the Gazette of yesterday there appeared a communication signed "A Mossback." Well, motsback is good. Why ~*waa it not signed John Exodus La tab, for Bob Ftinn. It is a irell known fact that the |amb and White "ring" bulldozed the nomination of Flinn through the Fourth ward against the wishes of a greater portion ofthe good Democrat* of that ward, well knowing that Flinn was not wanted by itwfia, and they considered theforceznent of Flinn upon them as a wanton outrage, and an assumption on the part of the Lamb-White ring, unprecedented in the history of the ward. The good Democrats of the ward feel that Flinn has a very Interest in the ward as compared with many other stalwart Democrats who have lived in the ward for the last quarter of a century, and who would have the interest of the ward and city solely at heart while it is admitted that Bob Flinn is much more interested in the success of his own saloon on Main street than he is attached to those in the Fourth ward, and in no other line of business is he said to be at all interested. In fact, Mr. Flinn is so young and in experienced, he would be a mere tool in the hands of so formidable a ring as now have control of the municipal government. It would be a sad aight indeed, for the friends of Mr. Flinn to elect him to the council, and then see him with folded arms led up to the pens and slaughtered, like a lamb at the fold. No, we would advise all those who love innocencc in its purity, and be ye friends of the young man Flinn, vote to keep him out of the council, "lest you see him," for surely he is in the hands already of the Generalissimo's, commanding the fort at this place, the Lamb-White and Havens coallation.

ANY man who has lived in this city for the last ten years can see that the past two years have shown up the worst record in the city's administration of any two pre vious years. It has come to that point wherein the Democratic party allows two o! three men to form combinations wherein the tax payers are robbed. Even the better class of Democrats have become disgusted and will vote with the Republi cans in May. The old court house ring yet remains and it would be surprising to the good people of Vigo County if they only knew the true inwardness of that slush hole of public plunder.

The people are becoming tired of such things and will display their wisdom by voting hereafter with tho Republicans.

The administration of our city affairs is a disgrace to us, and it. should not be countenanced another year.

THK old "Moisback," through its "half" organ attempted to prejudice a worthy and respectable part "of this community against the Republican party by trying to arouse the feelings of our German citizens, for he says: "The Express' aim wns to mimic the German language." Poor brainless idiot, thou Mossback, you should go and learn the German character before you attempt to appeal to the prejudices of a nationali ty. The German character, Mr. Mossback, like the heavens, is so far beyond thy grasp that thou canst never reach it. Mr. Mossback, bear with us one moment, although tho whisper may not penetrate thy thick skull, but we would say that in dealing with tho Germnn character, you have a material so foreign to you that you cannot comprehend gold when you see it, Nal varily Mossback, Thou hast erred, misacarried, was "big" with nothing.

J08SPH COOK.

The persons who go to bear tho Rev. Joseph Cook this evening are to be pittied. This august gentleman is the most gigantic fraud that has ever imposed on the American people. He Is the representative of a class of eastern demagogues, who think the universe revolves within their brainless heads. His lecture, "Does death end all," is a weak thrust at materialism, hashed with the German transcendentalism of Kant and the speculations of Sir William Thompson.

Kautin the 18th century said "space is the form of all external intuition." Iter. Joseph Cook in the latter part of the 19th century thinks that the form of all external intuition is space.

Any person can readily see the distinction between these speculative philoso phers on this subject.

We think the gentleman from Boston is slightly bombastic, and puts on in his lecture too much of an air of presdigitaHon—a chanting and a p*an truly—preclusive to the aparition surely of some grand ultimate. That is just what we think of Rev. Joseph Cook. 9

Tfce Aarmrs Borealis M*4e «f Iron. "Polar snow is known to contain fivefortieths of iron, which must have descended from the atmosphere^ -In the snow north of Spitsbergen, Nordenskiiold detected iron, cobolt and phosphorus. Facts like these appear to hare suggested a theory of the aurora borealis toPrbf. Grinneman, of Gottingen. He believes that large masses of ironj)articles describe a path around the sun, and when the earth crosses their pith some of the particles are attracted by it, especially at the poles. When the particles strike the atmosphere the friction thus produced causes them to ignite and become luminous, following exactly the behavior of meteorites.
