The Republican.

BENSSELAER, Friday, Feb. 5,1875

Theodore Tilton is now telling his continued story. Mm. Maggie VanOott, the great revivalist, b preaching in Chicago. The New York Herald has been clamoring loudly for the rerigaatioQ of Pieah Most Grant. A bill to repeal the law creating the Twenty-seventh TJjrmuial Circuit was passed In the the 3d instant. TwOTtyfiTmillion <fallara of Worn-out bank botes have been delivered to the Comptroller of Currency, for destruction, within six months. i In the Brazil mining district, this Bute, there are fifteen hundred miners on a strike, because of a reduction of wages from eighty-five to seventy cents per ton.

The election of Andrew Johnson to -the Senate has aroused the ambition of his friends in Tenbeaee, and he is already of as the coming man for the Presidency. Id the last five years no lass than forty-three life insurance companies in the United States gave up the ghost. There was very little life or insurance to be found In the concerns. The Cineinnatir Enquirer says Ms. Beecher fell asleep Saturday afternoon during the latter part qf Mr. Evarts’ speech. And yet we are told that the publie is excited about the great trial. Congress has refused to grant an extension of the patent on the four-motion feed of the sewing machines. It is estimated that this refusal will reduce the price of machines down to 82ft, in two years, when the time of the patents expire*

Th« bill appropriating $25 JH)ft to defray the expenses of entertaining King Kalakaua while on hte visit to the United States was passed in thy Senate on Wedeesduy last, ThiSj of course, will have b t4»deocy to bring foreign, visitors; but isn’t it rather an expensive business?' The Indiana editors will-start on their excursion the 16th of March, and will Visit Memphis, Jackson, Vicksburg, New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, Augusta, Golumbia, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain, Nashville j and return home by way of Vincennes and Terre Dante. The cost of tho trip is eßtfraated at SSO pop head. The Senatorial contest in Wisconsin was decided on Wednesday, the 3d instant, by the election of Angus Cameron, of La Crofise, by a vote of'6B to 59 for Carp®ter, 3 lor Haaleton and 1 forClark. The result was caused by a coalition of the with the bolting jtepubHcans. Cameron Was elected on a platform which Includes hard money, tariff for revenue only,-aid the supyrdbacy of civfl authority in time of peace. At the State Editorial Convention held in Indianapolis, last week, the following pffleerawero elected for the ensuing year: President—W. 8. Lingle, of the Lafayette Courier. Vice President—H. E.

BEAVER LAKE LANDS.

The Governor Urges the Legislature to Interfere and protect Present Holders. ;

Governor yesterday submitted a special message to the Legislator* relating to the celebrated Beaver Lake lands cases, now pending in the courts, and suggesting the imperative necessity of legistive interference to protect the rights of settlers and present owners. The land Is situated in the north western part of the State, and is of great value now. A generation or two ago Messrs. J. P. Bunn and M. G. Bobtained possession of tho land from the United States, under the ditching draining laws, by virtue of riparaio ownership. The land so reclaimed from the bed of Reaver Lake, and held by them, was 7,880 acres.— Bunn’s portion of the land was purchased by Bright at Sheriff’s sale, and subsequently transferred by the purchaser to the State Treasurer in satisfaction of a debt owing the State by Bunn. Under the act of 1865 these lands have been sold to parties, the State realising $8,500. The land was sold subject to taxation, and thousands of dollars have been levied

and collected in taxes. The message contains a detailed statement -of the case as given above, and farther says that Congress, by the act of January 11, 1873, released and quit-claimed to the State the bed of Beaver Lake, though the Governor erprsses a grave doubf as to whether the United States owns the lakes in the State. He cites the case in Pollard’s Lasee vs. Hagen et aL, 3 Iloward, as being conclusive on the point. The titles of the present holders have been held good. Inasmuch as the Governor was counsel in a case of this kind he declines to make recommendation further than to say that the State has distinctly asserted title to . these lands, a fret that should not bo overlooked in arranging equities between herself and the present owners and claimants. The necessity for settlement arises from the fact that certain parties owning land bordering on the original boundaries of the lake have brought suit for possession of the entire tract of reclaimed land, amounting to between IQ,OOO and 12,000 acres — Jnd. Journal.

What is it all About?

While the country is drifting into an acrimonious political agitation, the end .of which puzzles and confouuds wise' statesmen —who were hopeful all through the compromise troubles of 1850, the fierce struggle between freedom and slavery for the possession of Kansas and Nebraska, as well os during our terrible war for the is well to bear con stantly io mind the why and wherefore of all this terrible commotion. It all turns on a single point—that Of an enforced legal ine quality of men. All of the talk of “the of the noble, people of the South,” “military despotism and interference,” the denunciation of carpet-baggers—all of the riff-raff of week-kneed Republican and Democratic Speeches—is simply a moss of irrelevant slush—the merest froth and scum on the great deep current which moves ever on beneath the surface. If to-day there were in the South a concession of the equal legal rights of men as men, the agitation would be quieted instantaneously. No man of the Republican party has ever contended for the enforcement of social equa-ity ol the blacks and whites, for that is a question which every man regulates for himself. But what the White Leagues of the South and their Democratic, abettors in the North demand at this time—what a limited number of place-hunting Republicans are willing to concede—-is, that the laws of the country shall continue to give to the white race a position of legal superiority—advantage- I—over 1 —over the colored race. That is all that this great agitation is about, when you get at the' kernel of the whole busi- : ness. That is what the Republican party contends for. That is whgt the Republican party contends so is the issue which everybody thought the war had settled tor all time. The question now before the A merican people is simply tbi6: Shall all the fruits' of the war be wiped out hy fraud, intimidation, and violence ? Is this the entertainment to whioh the country is invited, after all our struggles to perpetuate the government, and our more than paternal kindness to the worse than prodigals who sought to destroy it ? The issue is just as well defined today as it was when Alexander H. Stephens declared in 1861 that human slavery was the corner-stone of the new confederacy! There - is a fixed and clearly defined determination on the part of representative Democrats in the South to break down acd overturn the last vestage of the results of the war. They intend to win hack on the floor of Congress all that they lost from 1860 to ’65, and the great danger to the ootlPtry today is, that Northern Demagogues, with their eyes fixed upon the Presidency, will become as completely subservient tojjthe South as that brood of reptiles was previous to 1860! There has been a gradual encroachment upon the enfranchised rice by “the noble people of the South” ever since they commenced taking part in politics after the war. In some parts of the South colored men have been sold into limited periods of servitude for alleged crimes I What is this, but the first step in the direction of making that again their permanent condition ? Their intimimidation from the polls places them entirely at the mercy of their old masters, in whom rankles a spirit of hate as bitter and envenomed as hell itself. Shall we abandon this struggle, or shall we still contend through weal or woe for the legal equality of all men ? Shall we give all an equal chance in the race of lifts, or shall We confer upon the Southern white man any aids save those of his brains? In all the Northern States, we ask that no brand of legal inferiority shall be put upon any race of meD! We concede to every man the chance to win all that his mental powers enable him to. Shall we concede a different right to white men in the South ? This is the great question of the day, and the one noT to be lost sight of. We believe the country will say, No! and with more emphasis than ever before. “Nothing is settled which is not right.”— lnter-Ocean.

Think of that! When you take a girl to spelling-school in Nevada, you have to ride twenty-four miles, and she expects you to keep your am around her all the tone I An lowa father, who has succeeded in raising seventeen of the Worst children in in hie neighborhood, njn he is bound to have a representative in heaven, if it takes seventeen more. “If labor is not degrading.” asks a Michigan paper “why is it that leading citizens always hire boys to carry in their coals f” Why, simply because the boys won’t carry it unless they are hired. A Toledo paper wants to know why a bootjack wasn’t called a fenning-mifl by the inventor. Here now, in the midst of life’s busy struggle, is something tor a scientific mind to stop and grapple with. Tho Georgia negro ha* no more faith in banks. He lays Lis money out In store cloths and hair oil, and the news of a bank suspension causes him to exclaim: “Bust away wid yc, bet you can’t hurt dese lavender pants.” There is nothing so refreshing and soulsatisfying in this cold, wicked world as the spectacle of a grateful woman. After she hsa knocked you down and pounded you over the head five or six minutes with a roll-ing-pin, and yeu get up and say you are sorry and willing to beg her pardon, tho look of gratitude that illuminates her heavenly countenance will do all but pay the doctor’s bill. We have received number two of the Lakeside Library, Donnelly, Loyd & Co. Publishers, Chicago. The proprietors propose to publish a volume every two weeks for the low price of $2.15 per annum poet paid. Each number is intended to be complete in itself containing a single story by spme of our best writers. The number be- ’ fbre us contains a story by Charles Reade,, entitled “The Wandering Heir,” printed in large type, chtar and nice. We believe the Lakeside Library is destined to become very popular.

Remington Items.

[From tho Record.’ J C. 7. Culver was baptised at the Christian Church, Monday evening. E. B. Cross is building a house on Indiana street 22x26—instead of 22x23. Church S Lyon closed up their dry goods store last Wednesday, to invoice. Considerable ice has been put np in this place, taken from Carpenter creek, north of town. Walter Railsback has been very sick for the past three weeks, but is now slowly recovering. D. H. Coover has tan viewing all things in a one-sided past week, caused by a large boil on his neck. John Shaw returned from Battle Ground, Tippecanoe county, Monday, where he had been called to attend the denth-bSH of his only uncle. We tried Io count all the persons that endeavored to enter Church & Lyon’s dry goods store, Wednesday, while they were closed, invoicing. We stopped and so did seventeen hundrod I Don’t think that because we have not said anything in regard to the land sales for the past two weeks, that O. B.‘ Mclntire & Co. are not doing a large business in lands. In fact that branch of trade has been uncommon lively for several weeks, and O. B. Mclntire informs us that he sold a number of farms and town lots last week. It will be seen by reading the proceedings of the Board of Trustees for the town of Remington, that W. W. Sage and J. W. Shaffer have been appointed trustees, to fill the vacancies in the first and second wards, made by tho removal of 0. B. Mclntire and Robt. Parker. Mr. F. L. Cotton has been appointed Marshal, Mr. Lucky being unable to serve on account of poor health. There-has been considerable talk in regard to tho lady who visited Frank Morgan’s jewelry store, dressed as a “gay-wad festive youth,” last week. She left a watch chain on her first visit, and in a few days returned for it, dressed as a lady should be dressed. There isn’t any particular harm in a young lady trying the boys clothes on, to “see how they look,” but it is very unladylike to be caught on the street in that condition. There were six accessions to the M. E. church on last Sunday. The good work still gpes op. Meeting every morning at 11 o’stock, and every evening at 7 o’clock. As we Stated last week, the President of the Board of Trade, at Pittsburg, was capiased in this place Thursday for a debt, the particulars of which are about as follows. Morton, a grain dealer at Kentland, had contracted a large amount of grain to Graff, and Snyder, a groin merchant at idaville, was furnishing the grain to Morton. Before the contract was filled Morton was arrested, and Snyder shipped the balance (two car load) to the Pittsburg man, in his own name. Morton owed Graff, and he placed the grain to his credit, and refused to honor Snyder’s draft. Snyder discovered that Graff was on the train and followed him to Remington, and while the freight was being unloaded, had a capias made oat, and Graff arrested. The case was brought before Esq. Spencer, but after considerable squibbling, a change of venue was taken to Esq. Jeffreys. Wiley Pierce, who was acting as constable, was employed as counoil by defendant, which left no acting constable, and Mr. Graff took advantage of the situation and prepared to “vamoos.” In the meantime, Chas. Jouvenat, plaintiff’s council, had secured Mr. Frank Cotton as acting constable, had him swfirn in, and the new constable just bad time to place his hand upon the defendant’s shoulder as he was getting into a buggy for the purpose of leaving. As a matter of course he didn’t leave just then, but compromised the matter by paying $l5O and costs. The claim was S2OO.
