RENSSELAER, Ind., Sept. If, 1875.

Several of the Illinois kuklux have been bound over to appear before the TJ. 8. Grand Jury. The Chicago Exposition opened MWednesday. and the Indiana Exposition commenced at Itidianapofia, Thursday. . The name of a Treasurer in Ripley county, this State, n John W. Newman, and he is a defaulter to ■* large amount, lie was arrested on Thursday of fast week and pat under bonds. The singular part of the affair is, that said Newman is a Democrat.

Since the first establishment of the Boston postoffice in 1789, it has hed but eleven postmasters. One of them held office over twenty-one years. Probably no other office under the government has bad ao few occupants, iu proportion to the age of the office. Joseph I. Irwin, of Cohtmbns, has issued a circular inviting all persons favorable to the construction and maintenance -of good roads to moet at Indianapolis, on the 28th inst., to form a State organization. The meeting is to be held at the rooms of the State Agricultural Society. Jasper county should be represented at at this meeting. A meeting of those interested in the -establishmentof an Episcopal paper in -Chicago, was held in that city a few days since, and a resolution passed that it was the sense of the meeting that a church paper ought to be established there at the earliest practicable moment. A committee was appointed to consider and canvass the matter. The Nebraska Republican State Convention meets in Kearney, Sept. 18, to nominate three candidates for justice of the supreme court and six candidates for regents of the University of Nebraska, to be voted for at the general election to be held in accordance with the provisions of the proposed new constitution, on the second Monday of October next.

A physician of Oregon says: Take tthe yolk of a good egg, put it in a teacup, and stir in as much salt as will make it thick enough to run off, and ■spread a plaster and apply to the wound. Do this when bitten or stung and I will .insure your life few a sixpense. I have 4ried this remedy in a number of cases, :and have never known it to fail to cure a rattlesnake bite or the sting of a spider. This is important if true. Some of the Democratic papers enquire why the Northern people should refuse to bear Jeff. Davis speak, while treating courteously other men who distinguished themselves as Coafedrates.— Oue very good reason therefor, is that Jeff Davis neither fought like a man, nor surrendered like a gentleman. That reason alone is sufficient to justify'the feeling amongst loyal people against Jeff, though it is but one of many. “His excellency,” Jeff. Davis, has can--ccled his engagement to deliver an ad■dreas ut the Bartholomew county Fair. A correspondent writing to the Coiambus Republican says: “There are soldiers in this township who suffered in rebel pris-on-hells, who would be ready to put a rope around the neck of the arch traitor who caused their sufferings, shoud he step foot in this county.” But, of course, this had nothing to do with the canceling of his engagement.

At the examination of some of the Ikuklux at Centralia, Illinois, one witness who had turned State’s evidence testified that there were four hundred members of a band known as the Gplden Hing in Franklin county, and one thousand in Williamson county, that they bad a sworn system of secret signs and passwords, and were under oath to first warn, then whip, and then hang all offenders, tlie penalty for his treachery being that his throat be cut from ear to ear and his tongue torn out. No wonder assassinations, robbery and pilllagc are rife in Franklin and Williamson counties.

Do not take .yonr paper to the postmaster and tell him tp send it back; in nine cases out of ten you will fail to stop it in this way. Do not attempt to return it yourself, and write on the wrapper to discontinue, this is against the law, and lays you open to a fine. Before your subscription expires, send to tiie editor a postal card, saying your subscription expires on such a date; please discontinue at that time. Sign your name, also the town and State where your paper is sent, in full. If the paper has been sent .two weeks or more over the time for which it was paid, don’tsend a postal card; it will do do good; rather write a letter aud enclose what is due for arrearages, always allowing that one number will be sent before the letter reaches the publisher and his list is corrected. By observing these rules your requests will always be promptly attended to.

The great number of drowning casualties at seaside watering places, this summer, suggests the propriety of people making their jrflla before going off to their favorite resorts. “Where there’s a will thereVa way,” and if people make their wills they may be away with more safety, perhaps/ After all it would be safer to bathe in a tub', for although one would theu be, as to the fashionable world, adittle behind hand, he would however escape the treacherous under-tow. The little town of Watseka, 111., says the Indianapolis Journal, claims to be the abiding place of Bushrod D. Washington, a great-grandson of Lawrence Washington, brother of George. He is said to have in his possession a number of valuable relics of his illustrious relative, among which is the private seal of George Washington, which will be on exhibition at Philadelphia during the Centemifal. If Bushrod has in his session the family recipe for not teliing a lie, he might make an independent fortune by retailing it at Philadelphia.

While thinking of bur own almost inexhaustible coal fields, it never occurs that a nation ou the other side of the earth has some little pretension to notice in the same line. It is now estimated that China possesses coal fields amonnting[in the aggregate to 400,000 square miles, ortwenty times the total area of all the coal fields of Europe. As yet these immense deposits aro practically untouched. A commissioner from the Chinese Governmfffit has been inspecting the ’various mining processes now in usejn Europe tor the purpose of at once entering] apon the best forms of coal mining iu China. The New York World prints in contrast the following choice extracts, which give a striking exhibition of the present condition of the principles of the Democratic party: “Specie payment is a d—d barren ideality.” [Gov. Allen of Ohio. “Specie payment is a'fallacy resorted to by money kings to. mislead the people.” [[Cincinnati Enquirer. “A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest consideration of commercial morality and honest government." [Democratic National Convention, 1872.

A circular from the Third Assistant Postmaster General announces that department is prepared to commence the issue of postal eards of the new design. The postmaster will not, under any circumstances, be permitted to redeem or exchange postal cards of the old style, or cards that may be misdirected, spoiled in printing, or otherwise rendered unfit for use, in thc hands of private holders. It will also be useless to apply to the department for such "exchange or redemption. Only half of the plates prepared by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are ready for use, but the remainder* will be in readiness next week. The plates are worked in forms of forty each, two presses being required to supply the current demand. The sales of postal’cards for the month of September will probably largely exceed the sales of any previous month since their introduction.

Mr. Ule Jeffries and Verly Stephens have departed for the far West. Success, boys. D. H. Peck has a new sign. It is a movable one, and his name is Malilon Johnson. Fred Stifier is able to to be around again, but we don’t think he could run a threshing machine. The SHit of Pettit against McCulley, for surety of the peace, was decided in favor of the defendant. F. R. Donnelly is the champion croquet player of the town. If you don’t believe it try your hand with him, and see how quick he will, whitewash you. Bad colds and the “water-melon’cramps” have been worrying some of the inhabitants of this place. And yet they flock around a wagon load of water-melons like flies over a dish of molasses. Our Postmaster went to Sheldon, the other day, to witness the laying of the corner stone of a new, I. O. 0. F. Hall. He prided himself that he would be the biggest man on the ground. But “What a fall was there my countrymen j” He soon found his match in a Hoosier born sucker, who outweighed him forty pounds, beat him four inches in height, and waxed him to-the tune of ten inches around the breast. Last week we were informed by one of the grain men of this place, that three men were busy at his warehouse all day, unloading and weighing corn and oats. Since the first of August hundreds as bushels of corn have been bioaght to the market, which is sufficient to persuade one to the belief that, although the corn crop be a partial failure this season .tberej'is enough old eorn in the county to give the farmers a pretty clean balance sheet.

Dan and Bill had a lively time, on Monday night about ten o’clock. Bill was drunk and used all his powers of eloquence to induce Dan to fight. A five dollar note was no inducement to to Dan ; neither did being called a liar disturb the serenity of the North Carolinian in the least. But when Bill called him the male child of a female canine, Great Ceaser! how he lit in. One blow of his ponderous fist put a new idea into Bill ’* head, and thinking that “he who fights and runs away, may live to fight another day," he measured side-walk at a lively gait until he came to the crossing, where he laid down, followed so closely by Dan that be too tumbled over the prostrate form. After all, it was a kind of a Bovine fight. You know how it is yourself.

TheI. D. & C. Railroad.

Last Wednesday was the day for the annnal election of Directors of the new road. Many stockholders and friends of tha road were present. we recognized Mr. Halstead,.the energetic contractor from Lakejcounty, whose indefatigable energy in the prosecution of his work under most unfavorable circumstances renders him quite popular among the friends of the enterprise, lie was accompanied by Mr. Summers, Chief engineer of that division, by Messrs. Prioe, Dußriel and others from Lake. Col. Healey the “old reliable” was here from Jasper. Pres, llaymond, Sec’y. Bushneli and Mr. Reynolds from White, and Col. Catterlin, the tried and trusty wheel horse in every public enterprise represented Clinton. The annual meet iug was called to order at one o’clock, and report of operations for the past year, read by President Haymond. The report was ably prepared and gave ample satisfaction as to present and future prospects of the road. We]shall, in our next, endea\ or to give the main points of the President’s report. The election of Directors for tbe ensuing year then took place, and resulted as follows : L. B. Sims, Vine Holt, J. T. Richardson, Samuel Greenup, John B. Pollard, C. Angell, Enoch Rinehart, Jas. Odell, J. P. Price, Joshua Healey, Alf McOoy, Jaa. C. Reynolds, J. N. Sims. The new Board then convened and elected officers as follows: L. B. Sims, President. Joshua Healey, Vice President. Dr. Bushneli, Sec’y. Reed Case, Treasurer. Other matters of general* interest were passed upon, but time and space forbid mention. Suffice it to say, the road although apparently dead has certainly bet ter prospects of an early completion than ever before. More about it next week. —Delphi Timet.

The Monticello Constitutionalist says: All difficulties have been harmonized and all the ftiends of the road are united in their purpose of making the a success. What ever doubts may be entertained about the building of the rood by those who have but limited means of knowing, wo arc glad to learn that the active and determined friends of the enterprise are completely sangmneof success. The exhibit of work done on the road, and the assets unappropriated, as ably set forth by the President in his annual report at Delphi, prove beyond doubt the ability of the people along the line, independent of outside aid, to complete the road. From the report we learn that only the smalt sum of $200,000, in addition to the subsides, will be necessary to insure the completion of the road from Chicago to Delphi, and we are assured that that this sum can be easily, if not Immediately, raised by the sale of first mortgage bonds among the people. Among the wise measures agreed to by both companies is the cancellation of the capital stock, except such as shall be subscribed and paidjfor in cash. This course will cut off all chances of speculation and stock-gambling, and leaves the destinies of the rood in the hands of its promoters and stockholders. The Investment of money in the stock and bonds of this road is the best investment we believe that is now offered to the people in this section,’’

TIE OLE LIEE EEEE STEEL THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUCKLESWORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1876, in latitude 41J degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered Deacon Tubbs and bis Party, and ofter three days of hard bombardment had captured him. and his whole party, and now have them confined in the Hew Brick Building on the South Washington Street, ll©. 1004. one door east of F. J. Sears A 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, bat the M«yor was a little too strong for him and captured him and his subordinates, Lieut. Meyer aud Will Perlgrim. Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but young Perigrira, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RAD WAYS READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTE <S for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALESTER’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 his men, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Ilardlng’s Celebrated Cough Mixture, we are happy to inform the public that he. is able io be oat again, and at the NEW BRICK BTORE compounding Drugs and Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major are found at Ml times dealing out Medicines to their numerous ( Cußtomers.
