Jasper Republican, Volume 1, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 February 1875 — Page 2

The ■ ——F» —rr RENSSELAER, Friday, Feb. 13,15,75.

The Republicans ©f New Baroabirc have resolved ‘•to stand by Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.” Two persons by the name of White and Cozzens, the murderers of Hamilton, are to be bang at Champaign, 111., to-day. “A man idw ItiUi s the Lord rod csej carry horns an intoxicated member,” is the kind of Serge'-nt-at-Arms they want for the Minnesota William M. Tweed now a^Cjfoi* -a’bilf of particulars. If Bill hsAiposhew-*Q particular with public moneys the public would not have been so, particular with. Bill. The Garland Legislature of Arkansas has appropriated 850,000 for “executive contingencies,” and suspended the eollec- . tion of the school tax because the State was too poor. * Wood hull A Claflirt, modest as ever, asks only a hundred thousand dollars from Congress as indemnity for disasters brought upon them by their imprisonment in New York City by United States officers.

Garland and his unconatrueted rebel evew in Arkansas, are imitating the nnterrified in Louisiana by shooting down and otherwise assailing Republicans, and yet the “miserable Republicans are to ' blame,” oh y*fc! ' ‘ This is Ben Butler’s last speech in Congress: ‘ I want to die now. My confidence in everything is done I have long known Congress was corrupt, and last summer my faith in ministers was considerably shaken. However, I would not give ups. I clung to my sweet fhith in the purity of the immaculate prose.— Now that is gone. I have nothing left. The sweet dove of purity, like the dove first sent out of Noah's ark, can find no resting place. Let me die now.

To The Public.

I have been several times written to with reference to the manner of procuring the daily Congressional Record during the present session of Congress. In order to answer all such applications at once, I state, requesting that other papers ia the district will make a note of it, that any may obtain the Record from the beginning of this session by sending five dollars to the Congressional printer. The Record is sold at a fixed price per hundred pages, and. v. ill amount daring the session to five dollars or over. The account will be made out for the balance, if any, and forwarded to the subscriber, when he can remit if so disposed, this not being compulsory. I will be glad to attend to this matter for any of my constituents who may desire me to do so.

JASPER PACKARD.

More “Reform.”

No. 105.] [575.00 lIorSE OF R EPEES iNTATIVES. Ih the Auditor of State: I certify that James H. Rieeia entitled to draw from the Treasury of State the- sum of seventy-live dolly re, for services as Clerk of the House of Representatives. Witness my name, tttis 21st day of Jan., '75. I>. TittPU, Speaker of the House. The above vduchcr is on file in the office of the Auditor of State, the amount having been drawn by tho said James H. Bice who came to Indianapolis from Floyd county to log-roll for McDonald, and who is not and has never been a clerk of the House, and whose name is not on the list of clerks, required by law to be kept posted in the “House, yet the “Reform” Clerk of the House endorses him, and the “Reform” Speaker issues to him the above warrant. Voters of Jasper, don’t you admire the beautiful methods of retrenchment adopted by the fusion which has ousted the old “corrupt” Republican force?

The evidence now being taken by the Congressional Committee at New Orleans, exhibits a condition of affairs much worse than had been supposed by even the most violent partisan Republican. For years, violence, outrage and intimidatiou has been resorted to by the Democracy to prevent Republicans from a fall and free expression of opinion. All classes of witnesses, principal among which are non-partisan army officers, unite in testifying to an utterly lawless condition of affairs, especially in the country parishes; and yet the Democracy of the nation howl about Federal inter-f-rence to protect the lives and liberties of men whose only offense is their politics. If our Government has any one duty higher than another to perform, it is life full protection of every citizen in the land, in his rights and privileges, and the punishment oFthose who would seek to deprive him of them. --•<* • - We fed assured that when the report of the committee is submitted to the country, that the popular verdict on the course of General Grant and his subordinates will be “You have done right.”

Democratic papers, in talking of A ndy Johnson's election to the United States Senate,quote: “Troth crashed to earth will rise again.” Si'will atough old nmllen stalk

An Explanation.

It would seem that when our “Reform House ol Representatives at Indianapolis voted themselves each a set of the statutes contrary to law, they did not know of the existence of the law, and that now they have got them, they are still equally ignorant although their moral naturet seem to have undergone a transformation, as they passed a Resolution the other day declaring it <jp be the sense qf- the* House that no perquisites should bfi received by members. " : V f* T : '•••>' It has been suggested that they had better basi commenced with spelling books than statutes, but it must be remembered that the average Democratic politician has a sovereign contempt for spelling books and “rich,” but is a born “const’toosh’nal” lawyer. But what will be the remorse of these pure patriots when at some future day some grown up son or daughter shall be looking through these same statutes — kept in the families as monuments of the glorious positions once held by their fathers as Legislative “Reformers” —and shall read to tha astonished parent that they were taken from the State in direct violation of their own provisions. Will not these noble sires, if they do not hang themselves to escape conscience, spend the remainder of their days “hanging on the ragged edge of despair ?" “Where ignorance is bliss/tis folly to be wise.”

The EI Passo R. R. Fraud.

From the New York Sun we find a series of documents which seem to prove that the affairs of the Memphis, ElPasso> Texas and Paeific Railroad have reached a lower depth of corruption than the Credit Mobilier or the Pacific Mail frauds. It seems that what are called settlement certificates, certificates for lands, construction certificates, stocks and bonds, issued to the amount of nearly twelve millions of dollars, to be used where they would do the most good iu the passage of certain bills in Congress, and that over eleven millions are yet unaccounted for by the parties who had charge of them. — It is reported that Hunter aad Shanks, of this State, know something about it — It is now iu order for them to make a statement. Since writing the above we have found Mr. Hunter’s explanation. He says he did receive $250,000 of the stuff for his services as attorney, but the stock was almost worthless, and further adds: , “Theamount of bonds and stock sounds large for a fee, but they were like selfrighteousness—the more a man had of them the worse he was off. Five thousand dollars in money at the time would have been worth to me far more than the trash I did get; but, not having the money, I took what I could get At the time all this took place I was not a member of Congress, and had a right to engage in any business I saw fit. If my clients do not grumble-, certainly none others have a right to, unless their rights are in some way affected. I will further state that if any bonds, money, or stock was ever given out by the company or any persou in its employ, to aid iu the passage of the bills before Congress, I never knew anything of it. I certainly never engaged in any such business.

The Temperance Rill.

The following are the main points in the temperance bill passed by the House on Thursday of last week : 1. License shall be issued by the Commissioners. 2. Intoxicating liquor is interpreted to mean any intoxicant that may be used as a beverage. 3.

[From the Recrn'd.] D. Y. Garrison has built another addition to hia harness shop. We understand that C. Harlacker has employed another workman. Corkins talks of moving to Wanatab, up in the northern swamps.—-JoAn Sylir. The postmaster is pushing tho season with a linen coat. —John Sylcr. Mr. Goldsbury, dry goods salesman in Church & Lyon’s store, is at Lafaj'ette - tlik week enjoying a short respite from ‘business. * The Church of God will hold meeting in Anglemire’s Hall, commencing Monday nod continuing over Sunday. Everybody cordially invited. - • Church & Hartley have rented ths Wolcott elevators. We that Mr. Church will hold forth at that place for .awhile, returning here Saturdays. (Is Church & Hartley going to mouopolize the grain trade in Indiana. 7) Do not judge a man by first sight. We know of several fellows in this place who lost two dollars by a hastily formed opinion. “Guard” against such things in the future. —John Sylcr. You was one of those fellows, wasn't you, John? The trials and tribulations of an editor are many, indeed. When they can’t find anything else to “twit” us on, they bring the paper np, stick it under out nose, and yell, “there’s a grammatical mistake Mr. t’’ That boil that Dave Coover has been nursing with such tender care, has taken a run and jump and lit on the end Of his nose. How dreary seems each hour, As it slowly, slowly goes, To the man who site in anguish With a boil upon his a die! (Poor Dave.) There are persons who imagine that in order to be Christians they must put. on a long face, and envelope their countenance in sadness. Then the question very naturally arises iu our mind—does a man eiyoy himself any tho less for obeying the scriptures. ? (Try it, brother; then answer the question yourself.) An alarm of fire was started in the west end of town last evening, but it proved to be a corn shock that had taken fire from a locomotive. We don’t want any fires to break out in that end of town when the wind blows as furiously as it did last night. B. M. Butler having failed to dispose of bis interest in the lumber business has concluded not to sell at present, and will be found at the office of Burger & Bntler, preared.tcilA a shccrji pencil, to make figures right- at the bottom on largo or small lots of lumber. Whenever we see two persons parading our streets, making fun of our town and buildings, we make up our mind they are condemned idiots, and have been reared in whortleberry swampe. We saw two gents(?) of the above description trying to make light of this city, Monday, and we also noticed an old cow just behind them, that looked wistfully at their coat tails; but had she got a bite it would hare been an awful soft • one. .. s l? .- The agricultural meeting convened at S. M. Black’s office at 2 o’clock last Saturday. Tho committee oh grounds were authorized to purchase land for the fair-grounds, using their own jugement in said purchase. Thcro will be a meeting held at the same time and place February 12th, 1875. The Rensselaer Republican says: “A terrible shaking up of the dry bones is expected in Rensselaer, shortly.” From the number of dances held is that place this winter we should judge that some of them were already pretty well shaken up.— (Dwellers in crystal palaces should refrain from tho propulsion of irregularly shaped particles of granite formation )
