The ftpcech of Judge Lewis Jordou in our town on Thursday of last week, was chiefly devoted to'tlie currency question and the management ot our State affairs under Democratic rule. The speaker proved conclusively that the currency of the country, since the close of the rebellion, had been contracted nearly one-half, or from, about twelve hundred millions of dollars down to between six and seven hundred mtllioiift. The legislation of the Republican Congress, year after year, whs so shaped as to favor the holders of government gold-bearing bond9, by keeping green backs the currency of the people at a large discount below the told standard By such legislation the holder of bonds added every year not less than fifteen ot twenty, and often tweaty-ive to fifty per cent, oh every dollar of government bonds he held ; and some two tlioasaiid railliona of such bonds were held by the monied class, while the farmer, mechanic, manufacturer and merchant -were compelled to take the depreciated igreenbacks, and at the sane time raise 'the money to pay the enormous interest -demanded by the money sharks who Theld the gold bonds. Could it be expected that the business interests of any tiatiou of forty millions of people cowld land this enormous drain oa titeir industries for any length of tJwe? The enormous coutractiou of the currency and the passage of the resumption act by a Republican Congress, did the werk for the businoss interests of the entire iiHtis. Contraction of the currency brought contraction of business, and threw out of employment hundreds of thousands of the industrial classes of the country, who for years have been com pelted to subsist on the charity of those whom the government reduced to clr-v-wmntanccsbut little better than them Him Thanks, to the Democratic Congress, that came into power two vears ajro and by wise legislation has reduced gold and silver to the greenback standard. If the people tniftt the Democratic party and give it Ml possession of the government, money and honest labor for 811 classes will be abundant, and we will hear no more of hard times. Let the gold sharks, who have preyed upon the people so long, take a back wat for all time to come. Since the Democratic partv, with honest old "Blue Jeans" at its head, came into power In OHr State, reforms have been quietly going on. Too much money has been expended yearly on many of our charitable institutions. As an instance, the House of Refuge cost the State, under Republican rule, some fifty five thoHMHd dollars a year. Its expenses have been reduced to about thirty-thousand, aud a further reduction of about twenty per cent, will be made without injuring the interests of the institution. All our institutions are having a thorough overhauling under the eagle eye of our excellent Governor, and the taxes of our people will be reduced in consequence. Let the people of Indiana bear these fscts in mind when they go to the polls in October next.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

P lion. T. C-r. Shnnklin. Democratic candidate for Secretary of State will address the people at a Demorat ic Picnic, to be held at 51, OTI7, TUMI, fat, Slit, 1373. Come out, farmers, mechanics, laboring men, and give yotn champion a rousing welcome. Conic with music, banners, flags, pretty wonwi and b:iketa of provisions, and have a good timo. fCfJudge Lewi Jordou whs appoint ed by the Oeinocratie State Central Committee to addros the people of Dubois "minty, at Jasper.on the 29th of August. No notice of said appointment reached us beforehand, and the consequence was no notice of the meeting was given to our people. Mr. Jordou arrived at the appointed time, and addressed a number of our citizens at tho Courthouse. We wish every citizen of the county could have listened to his argument, showing conclusively that the Republican leaders at the head of the government were responsible for the contraction of the currency, and the hard times that followed in the wake of such suicidal policy. (0"Somo timo ago one of Jasper's young gallants prided himself on being able to swing a certain voting lady of this town. As time rolled on, the girl, for reasons of her own, went back on this young snoot. Last Sunday evening, while the silver moon looked down with calm serenity upon our peaceful town, this young gent espied his girl out taking a walk, he gets one of his companions to cut across the street and rau up an alley to meet her. They met, and then and there took place a very amus ing scene, to an outsider. It seemed as if ten thousand devils had met and were quarreling over tho remains of some dead person. Young man, for heaven's pake, next time don't select an alley cor ner to quarrel with a young lady, even if 6he did play you wrong. Fatal Accident. On last Saturday morning Mr. Joseph Geier, a young man was engaged cleaning out a well at his father's house in Jasper, and the wind lass rope broke while he was in the well, letting the mud tub fall on him from about 10 feet above him. It was very heavy, aud struck him on tho head, cut ting his head to the bone, and cracking the skull, and also injuring his spine, so that his lower limbs were naitilyzed. He lingered in great pain until Sunday morning, when death relieved his suflurings. ue was an industrious young man, aud universally liked, and was to have been married in four weeks. His alliance came in town to church on Sabbath morning, not knowing he was hurt, to &ud nini a corpse, aud but few could keep dry eyes who witnessed her dis treas. (CrOar School Trustee in Jasper, in their love for the fatherland have for gotten that they are living In Amcri ca, and that probably their children will settle in some part of the country where the time they spend in learning tho rudiments of tlie German language will be just so much time wasted. They :an not acquire a thorough knowledge in our common schools and the smattcrhi they may get, unless'they attend college afterwards, is certainly at the expense ef thoroughness in some other branches, which our law-makers have thought would do more general good. Unices they undertake to regularly grade the schools in the six schools of tho tewn, we do not know where they derive any authority to order any branch of learn ing to be taught outside of those speci fied in the law governing common schools. Germ in has been taught, and seme other things too, in several out of the 6lx schools in Jasper, for several years, and we should think they would supply all needed facilities for acoiiirinsr that language. It is proposed in Washington to increase the tax on beer Irom $1 to 1.50 or $1.67 a gallon, in order to make up the falling off in internal revenue receipts, which, it is estimated, will be not less than twelve millions this year. Tills proposed additional tax on beer would be a burden not only on the brewers, but upon the millions of citizens who drluk that mild beverage; for it would afford en excuse for maintaining, if not for adding to, the present retail pi-ice. A much better plan would be to retrench in the appropriations for the useless army, which now costs the country abeta $10,000,00 a ym.-Xew Yerk Bun.

At a regular meeting of the members of Prof. Sol iga's brass baud ot Jasper, Dubois county, Iiid., the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, it is our sail duty to testify to the Ktcat loss sustained bv up. in the death of our It ro titer, Josetih Geier. It is also becoming and proper that we should bear public testimony to his excellence of character, aud to his liiirh professional attainments as a musician ; therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Joseph Geier, this baud, of which he was an honorable and efficient member, has sustained a loss which is irreparable. Resolved, That we bear witness to his superior talents; his kind heart; his sympathizing nature, and his high sense of duty. Resolved, That we shall ever cherish his noble example as a man, aud his endearing qualities as a friend. Resolved, That we sympathize with his family in this their overwhelming sorrow. Resolved, That a cony of these reso lutions be sent to his familv, and that It also be published in the Jasper Courier and IIuntiHKburg Signal. George W.

Yot the J;er Courier. Contract County Expenses, Mk. Editor. If you will permit me in your interesting paper, I will give my views as to what the next legislature Miould do iu regard to fees and salaries. Money has become a great deal scarcer than it was a few years ago, conse quently it docs not require more than halt or two-thirds of the amount of money at this time to procure the nec ess&nes to live on that it did then. Fees of officers should be reduced in the same ratio, A6 the necessaries of life have been leimccu, wiucu wouiu ai least ue encthlrd. Ihe Auditor of our conntv, at this time, is receiving about 2,f00 a year for his services. I am satistied if the salary was reduced to $1,500. there are a number of good men in the cotmtv who wmhIiI be glad to trot the office si that amount of pay, and would discharge uiuwuuesoi me ouico as wen and as satisfactorily as they are at the present nine. In counties of the population of Dubois, Sheriff's fees should be minced about $250 -for services which thev render for the county. Lounty Uoninilssioucrs should get a uu per day itiBtoaa of $4 00, as they are get t leg now. Township Trustees and Assessors should get $'2 00 per day instead of $2 50, as they are getting now. Our County School Examiner's fees should be reduced to about one-half. This could bo done by reducing his per dioin te $3 00 instead of 4 00. ns he is getting now. Dispcnso with his visit ing schools, but allow him for time to visit an Institute in each township during school terms. Let each applicant for a license to teach school nav oni dellar to the Examiner. Now, I will hum up what would be saved to the county bv reducing the fees as stated above. There would be a sav ing to the county on the Auditor's fees or $t.wu;on Assessors' fees about $280; on the Sheriff's fees about $260; on the County Commissioners' fees about $90; on County Superintendent's fees about mw, and on Township Trustees about $350 making a total of i-2,370 -thua reducing our county taxes about 8 cts. on every huudretl dollars worth of property. I hold that if the legislature wag to make tkis reduction, we could get competent men to till the efficcs. It should be (he policy of the legislature to allow no greater salary or fees to our officers, than would be sufficient to induce competent and nuallfied men to take tinnn themselves the duties of the several ooHnty and township offiees. I would me to near rot viewi of othors on this BWtttT. Tax-Pavf.
