Real Estate Transfers.

Congress meets on Monday, December M, Haymond’s official majority over Calkins is 669. Child-stealing is the order of the day (nd night, too). About sixty Grangers will hold seats in the next Legislature. Another change in the proprietorship of the South Bend Union is announced to take place this week. Daniel Haskell, veteran editor of the Boston Transcript, died on the morning W the 13th, of pneumonia. Somebody has been stealing editorials from the Laporte Chronicle, Mr. Packard’s paper, and that gentleman takes occasion to squeal thereat in his last issue. Naughty. The health of Senator Morton is said to be improving. He is, at present, at Santa Barbara, Cal., where he will probably remain as long as he continues to receive benefit from the California climate. Since Mr. Medill has assumed editorial charge of the Chicago Tribune that paper shows a marked improvement. It is once more in the Republican ranks and is an able advocate of Republican principles. Long may it wave I The Michigan City Enterprise, speakkg of Voorhees and the U. 8. Senatorship, says: “Salary-Grabber Voorhees has taken the stump for the U. S. Senatorship. Here’s a chance for virtuous Democrats to howl themselves hoarse about the Voorhees grab.” Indiana is responding liberally in the way of money, clothing and provisions for the relief of the Nebraska sufferers. This is one of the many good qualities of the noble hearted people of our State—always prompt in answering to the appeals of suffering humanity for aid. ‘•This is the cock that crowed in the morn, Ta wake the man all tattered and torn.” We mean that numerous Democratic rooster. We pull off our hat and ask you, gentlemen, please take down your birds. We are “tattered and torn” enough, and we are “awaked” enough to satisfy the hardest hart. Please remove your male poultry and let us have a rest. And besides, we are anxious you should not wear them out, for we shall want to borrow them all in 1876.— Laporte Chronicle.

The prospects for the building of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad grow brighter every day. That this road will be built is no longer considered a mere sonjecture, and the actions of the company have dispelled all such feeling from the minds of the people and convinced them that they mean business, but whether it will be built through Rensse her or not remains for the people to decide. The requirements of the company are not'unreasonable. All they want is a pledge from the people of an amount sufficient to prepare the road for the iron, to be paid when the road is completed to Rensselaer. Now will our people go to work and raise their quota and thus secure what will prove to be the greatest commercial artery in the United States? We know they will. Then let us begin at once. A moment’s delay and we may lose this grand enterprise. Put the ball in motion and never let it cease rolling until the whistle of the locomotive is heard in the already thriving metropolis of Jasper county.

Ao exchange says: “A glut of wheat and a bad foreign market to the California farmers is the failure of the firm of Morgan’s Sons, who, acting as the agents of the grangers, undertook to ship their wheat for a small commission. They were to receive wheat, pay the owner S2O per ton upon it and settle the balance when they had realized on it in Liverpool. They shipped seventeen cargoes and have failed at both ends of the contract- In the first place they did not pay the advance as agreed; next, they drew on their Liverpool consignments and drew the funds, and finally they managed to owe the Anglo San Fianciseo Bank $200,000 in gold. The vessels carrying are also unpaid, so that altogether the young rescab are behind time not less th»n $600,000, probably even more than thia- The consequence is a paralysis in the wheat movement, a disturbance of the market, and serious trouble to the Sute. It b possible that the effect may favorably on this side of the contiJMBC Bwt it b a bseoa to the grangers.”

The increase in crime since the fall eleetions.stands without a parallel in the history of this or any other country. — Not since the Republican party has bad control of National affairs do we rememhearing of bo many ?ruel, cold-blooded, heart-sickening murders, as at the present time. Almost any and every paper we receive contains one or more accounts of horrible murders, serious shooting and stabbing affrays, abductions, abortions, kidnappings, thefts, robberies, seductions, and other crimes of less magnitude, endless in variety and number and too tedious to enumerate, all of which indicates that there is something wrong somewhere. — Must it be attributed to the faccess of the Democratic ticket? Does it signify that Democracy licenses crime? Is it a pretext of Democratic rule? Will the peaceable, law abiding citizens of the United States have to submit to these crimes and outrages, these broils and uprisings in the South, which amount almost to young rebellions, and which, if tolerated, will eventually bring on another war? If so this will be a splendid country to emigrate from. But no, God forbid anything of the kind! We hope our country may never again have to pass through another such war as the one, from the effects of which, we have not yet recovered. However, the indications are favorable for this result. The very elements seem to be uneasy and are filled with dangerous omens. The political skies are overshadowed with clouds of a threatening nature, and the atmosphere we breathe testifies to the unhealthy condition of public affairs. The star of destiny wends her way in that direction and fate points with the index finger of her right hand to the result already indicated above. Therefore it behooves every, man, who has love for his country and who desires prosperity and preservation of the Union, to awake to a sense of duty. Let every Republican rally to the cause of “life, liberty and the pursuit o! happiness”—the cause of freedom and right—and in 1876 we will be crowned with an overwhelming victory.

The Logansport Star gives its opinion of editorial excursions thus: “Our exchanges are giving notices of a contemplated excursion of the Indiana Editorial Association to the South. This excursion seems to be und&r the man gement of Mr. Ainsworth, of the Plainfield Recorder, and from some of the replies received from the South seems to be a grand begging for free rides, free dinners, &c. Is it not about time Indiana editors were getting a little above this begging system? What would be thought of a lot of merchants who would contemplate a visit to the South and should write to all the railroads asking for a free ride, and to al! the cities for free feed? Editors have no more right to ask or expect a free pass from a railroad than any other citizen, and should not receive one. If an editor sees fit to do a certain amount of advertising for a railroad company and accept in pay for the same a ticket entitling him to ride upon the road of the company, either a certain distance or for a given time, it is a legitimate transaction, with value received upon each side, and neither is under obligation to the other. A railroad company cannot make money by carrying passengers free, and every citizen is as much entitled to a free pass as an editor. The acceptance of a ticket, without paying for it, places the editor under obligations to the company, and to that extent hampers him in his editorial freedom. We are a member of the Editorial ' ssociation, and we do hope that at its next meeting it will enter its protest against these free rides aud dead beat excursions. If the association desires to visit the South, or any other part of the country, in a b >dy, let them make their arrangements like any other body of excursionists, and pay their way.— Then they will be independent. Let them ask no railroad for free rides, no hotels for free bills, no cities or other associations for free dinners. Let us quit being beggars.”

The Laporte Chronicle has this lo say of Jasper county journalism: “We know whereof we speak, when we say that Remington, in Jasper county, is one of the most active, wide awake and enterprising little towns we kn->w of in the State, and situated in a spot that is the very delight of the eye to look upon. It anpears now that there are others who believe in the-spirit and future growth of Remington. Not long ago the Remington Journal pulled up stake* and removed to Rensselaer, wliere its editor commenced the publication of a Republican paper , called the Republican. Directly after this occurred, the Remington Record was established, which is a neutral paper as regards politics, but is fully alive to the growing interests of its town and surrou tiding country. And now there follows a new candidate, the Guard, by J. A- Winegarden, a st might Republican paper. It looks well, the salutatory sounds well, and we hope it will do well. The field is a widening one. May they all live long and prosper.
