The Republican. KENNELAEII. Ind., June 4, 1875

The legi'latnre of California has passed a law forbidding tha making of any difference in the salaries of teachers on account of sax. The salaries paid teachof the same grade must ba equal. The army worm lias made its appearance in Southern Illinois,arid is making sad havoc with the corn. In one instance, they completely destroyed more than one hundred acres of corn while forty men were workinghard to prevent it. Ex-Senator James W. Nje, of Nevada, who for years stood in the front ranks of the publie speakers of America, an to be one of the most gonial gentlemen that ever lived, is now an inmate of a lunatic asylum, at Flushing, New York. His brain has been worn out by constant use, disappointment, worry, and excess, and has at last lost all strength.— One cannot help dropping a tear over this fallen greatness. Articles of association of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad were filed at Indianapolis, May 26, with a capital stock of §1,000,000. Seven hundred and eighty-five shares have been subscribed. The length of the proposed road is 230 ’ miles, extending from the city of Chicago, through the counties of Lake, Jasper ; Newton, White, Carroll, Clinton, Boone and Hamilton, to Indianapolis, Marion County, thence through Shelby, Decatur, Ripley, Switzerland, Dearborn, and Ohio ■counties terminating at or near Rising Sun, on the Ohio River. Frank Bower, J. Cavendish Robinson, Thomas J. Roe, Chicago; Lycurgus Dalton, John H. Piercy, Will A. Peele, jr., and Wm. O. Foley, Indianapolis, have been chosen as a board of directors.

The proceedings of the Pennsylvania Republican State Convention, says the Inter Ocean, were harmonious and great enthusiasm was manifested. Governor Hartranft was renominated by acclamation, and Henry llawle, of Erie, was nominated ior Treasurer. The resolutions favor protection to home industry, cheap transportation, free banking, and a safe and uniform national cnrrency, adj usted to the growing wants of the business interests of the country , equalization of soldiers’ bounties, and the speedy adjustment of all claimsarising out of the late war. A resolution was adopted unequivocally declaring against a third term, and another as clearly opposing the doctrine of State‘rights. The administration of President grant was endorsed.— A grand ratification meeting was held last evening, at which the prediction was made that the ticket would be elected by a large majority. President Grant has opened his mouth on the “third term” bugaboo, or rather, he has written a letter to General Harry White, President of the late Pennsylvania Republican State Convention, in which he most emphatically denies the charge that he was seeking the nomination for a third term. As a reason for not sooner answering this charge, he says he believed it to be beneath the dignity of the office which he had been “twice called upon to fill to answer such a question before the subject should bo presented by competent authority to make a nomination, or by a body of such dignity and authority as not to make reply a fair subject of ridicule.” In concluding his letter he says: “I am not, nor have I ever been, a candidate for a renoininaticn. I would not accept a nomination if it were tendered unless it should bounder such circumstances as to make it an imperative duty —circumstances notlikely to arise.” Now let our Independent and Democratic friends, and all others, give us a rest on •“Caesar ism.”

Buskirk.

Mr. Baskirfe, of Indiana (it seems an absurdity to call him Judge, though he is at present actually rat ling in the seat of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,) has announced that the distinguished tribunal of which he is head will not open the celebrated colored school case for a rehearing. lie says the court are entirely satisfied with the judgment rendered. No doubt this is true. It is safe to say that if the court had not been satisfied, and more than satisfied, die judgement would never have been reudered in the first place. It was because Mr. Buskirk was satisfied, and because he was perfectly willing to make a decision which gratified his known hatred of the colored race, even in the teeth of the Constitution of the United States, that such a disgraceful and iniquitous judgement was rendered. It has been only the significance of of the court that has kept the case from becoming on of the most notorious in the land, and its judges the most infamous. Taney’s offense was not equal to it, but his name came to be spoken only with contempt. But Taney was a judge, learned and talented, though narrow in his prejudices, and bitter in his dislikes. It is an excess of courtesy to speak of a fifth-rate politician like Buskirk as judge of anything but whisky. Ilis decision iu this case has no more moral force and no more legal significance than if spoken on the stump or when on a periodical spree in Indianapolis. If Buskirk’s jurisdiction could extend over the Union, he would have the biggest field for the contempt business that ever fell to chancellor. The scorn is limitless and chronic, is not confined to any party, and a disrespect to decency is shown when it ij not exhibited. —Inter Ocean.

WORTHY OF EMULATION.

Ed. Republican:—On a visit in Gfllam township, last Sunday, -we had the pleasure of attending a Sunday School 1 Union of the schools of that township, held at Independence Chapel. It was a meeting, for quarterly review, of three schools—“Gillam,” “Independence” and “Vernon.” We estimated the attendance to be at least 150 persons. The exercises consisted of singing, prayer,- reports of secretaries, reviews and recitations. An earnest interest was manifested by all participating in the exercises. The leaders and movers in this matter seem to be mostly young men. Their efforts, however, are well seconded by a ■number of the elderly aud staunch men of Gillam. These young men are working with commendable zeal in this good cause, and the result of their efforts is manifest.

The secretary of Independence school reported their school in continuous operation for more than a year, with the lowest attendance at twenty-five, and an average of thirty-four. These Sunday school workers had not been made acquainted with the plan of the State Union for uniting the efforts of all Sunday school workers ; but without this encouragement, they, of their own energy, have organized a Township Union of three wide-awake schools. Their enterprise is worthy the emulation of all lovers of morals an good order in all parts of the county, and we trust will inspire others to work until there shall be an active organization in each township, and a good Sunday school in each school district. There are now in Jasper county 3,271 children enumerated for School purposes. A ilowing that for each five of these there are two parents, or to young men and women, who have passed the age of eligibility to our common schools, and we have 4,579 persons who should attend Sunday schools, in Jasper county, each Sunday. In fact, this estimate on adults is so low that, allowing for all ordinary contingencies, we should have an average attendance of at least four thousand and five hundred bouls in onr Sunday schools. The fact that not one-third of that number now attend our Sunday schools should arouse every good citizen to a sense of his duty, and inspire him to work in this good, cause. Then let us waken up in each township and emulate the good example of our neighbors in Gillam. Greenwood Cottage, May 31,1875.

SURE TO WIN.

This busy world i 3 full «of ways and means whereby generous talent and strength are each sufficient capital to enable people to earn an honest livelihood, and by economy and industry to lay up something for the future. The young man who says he cannot find anything to do, and sits down to idle away the precious hours of his youth in constantly looking on the dark side because he was not born rich, had better come out into the sunlight of energy and firmly resolve to find work, and he will soon wonder where his eyes have been. Looking up into the clouds and wishing for capital to ' start in business before you are your own master is not the way to succeed. First, learn to serve others well, if the necessity is upon you, and then you can serve yourself well. If you are poor and too proud to own it, even to yourself, heaven help you, for you will be poor all your life. It is a miserable semblance of pride which deceives people into ignoring any unhappy condition, howeve humiliating, when by an honest examination of facts, and a realization of the case, one might work his way out of all trouble. A yong man who has no great expectation in the death of .a rich relative need not try to live without work, and expect to find life at all enjoyable. He must earn his living or be known as a dead beat, and after awhile be avoided, even by his relatives; except, perhaps, his mother; she will feed and clothe a wayward son when all others have forsaken him. Often, if she would do less to pamper her son in idleness he would work with greater energy and determination, because he would know he must depend upon himself. It takes courage and a willing heart for a young man to hewhis own way through years of poverty and hard labor, with his mind fixed on the accomplishment of some object that shall satisfy a noble, if humble ambition. To do this the back must bend to many a distasteful day’s work, and a proud spirit must fret under a load of small annoyances, not the least of which is the care for the meagre necessities which from day to day sustain life. But if with all this hard experience, a man resists the temptations, great and small, which beckon him to turn this way and that way, from his work aud from his manhood; if he saves his money instead of giving it away little by little for things injurious to the appet te, he will succeed ; and not until then will he have learned, in the true sense of the word, to be his own master.

It is proposed to hold a centennial celebration at Putnam’s famous ride down the stepping stoues at Greenwich, Conn. 'There seems to be a general belief all over the country that a revival in business affairs will soon occur. Senator Shermon predicted it, and the transactions at the Treasury Department, as regards the establishment of new banks and the general management of the currency, indicate it. The sooner it comes the better. The 17th of the present month, the hundredth anniversary of the battle of Bunker’s Hill, is quite sure to receive due recognition, but two days earlier an anniversary will occur which deserves more attention than has yet been bestowed upon it. On the 15th of June, 1775, the Continental Congress, in session at Philadelphia elected George Washington “Commander-in-Chief of all the forces raised, or to be raised, for the defense of the colonies.” A little before this it had voted to raise a Continental army of 20,000 men, into which the militia and minute men of New England were made the nucleus. It will thus be seen that, on that June day, movements, which had been local, reeived national indorsement. Before this one province was not responsible for what another province had done; henceforth, all were prepared to do what was expressed in the Declaration of independence a year later.

JORDAN TOWNSHIP ITEMS.

Abe Wahl says he is not lazy but was born tired. Ster Iliff has got tho best three-year-old horse in the county, if not in the State. Chris. Biddle has become tired of single blessedness, and has taken unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Lena Putts. Long may they live; and may little Biddles strew flowers in their pathway. I heartily approve of the movement of the citizens of Walker and Union townships in regard to non-residents leasing uninclosed lands for herding purposes. It is a move in the right direction. Jasper county is becoming too thickly settled to bo used for that purpose. There is no more range than citizens want, and they have the best right to it. I say let them have it.

Abdallah proved to be too much of a draft on the lumber yard, so Butler sold him for the pitiful sum of $1,796.00. The Babb House and Dr. D. H. Patton’s residence are eaeh g new clothes in the shape of fresh coats of paint, “Egyptian”'wants to know how many jumps Al. J. Kitt takes to jump seventeen feet. How do I know ? That is a queston of his own asking. Now comes Charlie Hartley in the wake of the other millionaires of this town and sports a fine new top buggy and a thorough-bred fitare to make the wheels spiu. Frank Morgan has had his jewelry room repainted, and is going to order a large stock of eight-day clocks to be used in timing the trotting horses now traing here. Ohio street is the banner street of the town, nearly all the nice residences, both completed and under weigh, are Bituated upon it. There seems to be, however, a disposition for Illinois street to brace in and take the belt. Did it take two Good Templars to bring forth that weighty effusion in the Republican of May 21st? .JEsop says, “The mountain labored and brought forth a—mouse” Yea, verily Bo it remembered that Hunks sleeps the sleep of the virtuous and his slumbers are not disturbed by either “an uneasy conscience, Hood’s jack-rabit or the Good Templars.” Hoods jackass didn’t get mad.about what Hunks said, why should those “Two Good Templars” get their backs up and tnrn their bristles the wrong way. Hunks “ought to identify himself with the Good Templars” and thus show that he is a good temperance man. Certainly; yes; by all means. It is indisputable evidence that a man is a teetotaler if he only joins the Good Templars. (Witness the teetotalism of all good templars). Hunks is requested to' remember the “old proverb of stones and glass houses.” “Two Good Templars”know how it is themselves ; they conclude by saying “we are all poor miserable critters.” Hunks says AMEN 1

TGI 11l III! IBM STOBL THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR ffITOKLESWORTH, has Been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1875, in latitude 41J degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered Dqbgob Tubbs and Fax?iy? and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and now have them confined in the New Brick Building- on the South Washington Street, No, 1004. one door east of F. J. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon and his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on the north side of the street, but the Majorwas a little too strong for him and captured him and his subordinates, Megr®j? and Will Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Moyor’s piece, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RADWAY’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood,, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTEKS for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALBSTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE for his wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on bis men, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Harding’s Celetorated Coagla Mixture, we are happy to inform the public that he is able to-be out again, and at the NEW BRICK STORE compounding Drugs and Medicines, where the X'eacon and the Major arc found at all times dealing out Medicines to their They would say to their friends that they have, or did have, a Large Stock of DRUGS, MEDICINES, PAINTS, OILS and DYESTUFFS.
