It is stated that Bidwell. the Independent candidate for the Governorship •of California did not carry a county in the State. From this it would seem that the Independent party is not very popular in that State. The eoronor'i jury in the case of -Balaton, the deceased President of the Bank of California, rendered a verdict 'that he came to his death '‘from apoplexy and drowning.” Such a combination ought to kill any man ordinary or 'extraordinary. The theaters in Chicago are reducing their prices.

The increase in the expendi•tures of the state government has been in about the same ratio.

Soldiers of the Eleventh Congressional District.

Ton are requested to held public meeting* on the 15th day of Sept, 1875, in the several counties in this Congressional District for the purpose of making arrangements to reernit and organize the addicts of the various counties preparatory to attending the reunion of the sol--diers of the State at Indianapolis on the 14th and 15th of October next. It is suggested that you organize a county •committee invested with authority to appoint committees for townships whose duty h would be to ascertain who will unite in the movement and report progress to the county committees, who will condense and report to the Congressional Committee.

SOLDIERS REUNION.

The Proposed State Encampment at Indianapolis. Every man who takes a pride in ing served his country is invited to ab tend the State Reunion, to be held at Camp Morton, now the State Fair grounds, Indianapolis, on the 14th and 15th of October next. Each regiment and battery will be assigned headquarters, thus enabling all to meet with old friends and comrades, without confusiou, and affording each an equal chance for the enjoyment of the occasion. Governor Morton will make the reception speech. Of the other speakers so far selected, more than one-half served in the late war as private soldiers. Their names wiU be announced as soon as the list is complete. The programme will include a review the second day by President Grant. General Sherman and other distinguished officers, the regiments carrying their old flags, and the wounded occupying the post of honor. Railroads will give reduced rates, but it is reccommended that each county make arrangements for special trains at special rates. Many counties are mustering their men by companies and regiments for the reunion, and it is argued that this be done everywhere as the best means of securing a full attendance. Begin recruiting and drilling at once by townships. Bring out your flags, your music, and every man who wore the Union blue, especially the disabled. A flag will be presented to the county outside of Marion, sending the largest organized delegation. By order of the Executive Committee.

In a private letter to a citizen of this place, Hon. Thomas L. Jones, one of the Vice Presidents of the Chicago and South Atlantic Railroad Company, and a resident of Newport, Kentucky, says: “I am very glad to see that you j>f Rising Sun are taking such deep interest in the Chicago & South Atlantic Railway enterprise. Ido not hesitate to say that I should individually prefer your route, and of course the line must be determined by surveys most direct and practicable, and by county subscription, all of which may result in your favor. It is a bad time for building railroads, yet I feel quite confident that this will be built. Chicago and Charleston want it, and they, with some help, which I think Kentucky will give, are able to build it. They are getting on well in South and North Carolina, and within one year wiH have the road completed 275 miles from Charleston. Mr. Rae, the Vice President in Chicago, writes me that they will get to Indianapolis within about twelve months, and the prospect is good for reaching the Ohio River in two year* Part of the route in Tennessee is also built, so that the road is pretty Well assured, except through Kentucky. lam informed that we can probably raise one million and a half of dollars along the line in Kentucky, and upon that I think we can obtain the money to build the road.

Rensselaer, Indiana, September 14th, 187 a,

The greenback is gradually forcing its way to the front in politics. It has conquered both parties in the great commonr wealth of Pennsylvnia. It was a bitter pill for the Democratic convention of the Keystone State to swallow, but the alternative was acceptance of the greenback dollar or foredoomed defeat, snnd the result was as might have been expected.— Nothing could be more significant. The greenback line is advanced from the West and South to the East; indeed it has planted itself in the center of political agitation. It is Pennsylvania that furnishes the key to political campaigns the saying, “As Pennsylvania goes so goes the Union,” has so often proved true that it has become the habit of both political parties to concentrate tbeir strongest battalions in the Keystone State. It is, therefore, most significant that both parties in that State have planted themselves squarely on the greenback platform; the assertion of the doctrine that the national government alone should furnish to the people a currency adequate to the requirements of commerce, and that this currency should not be gold and silver. The State within whose borders the Declaration of Independence was signed and sent forth to the people of the colonics ; the State in which the Continental Congress convened; the State iu which the people of all nations Will meet next year to celebrate the National Centennial; the Keystone State of the through both its great political parties announce the abandonment of its allegiance to gold and silver as the money of the nation! From this time forward the bullionists will find it necessary to replenish their armories with a different class of arguments. Coarse abuse will no longer serve. Denunciation of the people of the West as “ignorant and stupid” will no longer serve as weapons with which to attack the greenback plan. Pennsylvania is old, rich, cultured and independent. Both politicaTparties in that State number in their tanks statesmen of commanding ability and wide experience in 'public affairs. They are irrevocably committed to the greenback as the best currency ever devised by man. Neither party dared go before the people without placing this assertion prominent in. its platform. Both parties entered the race for power with the same pledge of fidelity to the much-abused greenback. This fact alpne will force the bullionists to sustain their position by arguments, or retreat from it altogether.— lnterQtemu

tie on un mm steel THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUGKLESOTORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of Mar eh, 1876, in latitude 41 £ degrees weßt longitude from Washington, where he had encountered Deacon Tubbs and his Party, and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and now have them confined in the Jfew Brick Building on the South Side]of Washington - Street, f¥o,;l©o4(L^^---one door east of F. J. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Descon and his p» rtj 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, Lieut. Meyer and Will PerigrixaYoung Peri grim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but your.g Perigrim, at last accounts*, was doing well; he was using RAD WAY’S BEADY 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 b; his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on htsjwen, took a severe cold which settled in hit throat, but by using ag&'ttlepf Or. Harding’s Celebrated Coagli 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 Deacon and the Major are found at all times dealing out Medicines to their. m**>erous t Customerß.
