Jasper Republican, Volume 1, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 February 1875 — To The Public. [ARTICLE]

To The Public.

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.

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.
