Unusual preparations are being made by our. citizens for 'a - genuine; old fashioned celebration of the 984 anni versary of our national independence, on Saturday, the 8d day July. - The Goshen Brass Band has been secured to ‘enliven the occasion ; & large choir, comJposed of our best musical talent, will be : ot the grove, and, accompanied by an or- ¢ gan, will sing soul stirring, patriotic songs. Indeed, everything needed has been properly arranged, and all seem disposed to leave no effort undone which will in the least contribute to make this one of the grandest and most satisfactory celebrations ever held in Northern Indiana. The M. 8.& N. LR. R. have kindly consented to :Zxrry passengers on that dsy at half fare, consequently the ‘patriotic - citizens . of our 'nzjghborixig towns3mve determined to meet with us and aid in honoring the memories of the immortal patriots of 1776. = The hallowed fourth of July is a day which every citizen of our glorious country should -set apart for joyful hilarity. It should be a great ‘national gala day. Then let the farmer leave the, plow in the field, the mechanic close his shop, the merchant - his store, and the professional man his office, all come with their wives and “children, and join in the grand chorus of praise. 0 F , ; e— - — - . The Kendallville Post Office, Ed. Lisle has' finally received the appointment of Postmaster of the city of Kendallville, vice J. J. Lash, removed.— There is considerable “fluttering” in loil circles over this appointment, not that - they desired Mr. Lash to be retainéd, but because they wanted some 'other “loyalist” besides Mr. Lisle to fill that position. ~ Many Republicans seem to be ‘surprised ~ that Grant should remove a one-armed - soldier to make room for a man who never smelled powder, biat those who have kept watch of she coutse of his adminis- -~ tration in making appointments, have long since learned that however meritorious a man's services may have been in the hour of our country'’s peril, if he was . not “trooly loil,” decapitation would sure1y follow.” When such gallant goldiers as Blair, Mitcliell, McCook, Knipe, and a host of othets are ousted, and Longstreet " and Crowe appointed to lucrative positions, it is not to be wondered that Jim Lash is removed from the Kendallville Post Office. We know of no greater honor that could be bestowed upon a tried and faithful officer than to be removed—at the instigation of so small a potato as Billy Williams—Dby the poorest noodle that was ever placed in the White House, U. 8. Grant. :

Death of Menry J. Raymond. Tt is” with /deep regret that we announce the sudden beath of Hon. Henry J. Raymond, editor of the N. Y. Zlimes, which event took place early on Friday morping. 'lt was quite sudden and unexpected, he having the, evening previous stated to a number of friends that he never felt better in his life. He had attended a political meeting and returned to his home about 11 o’clock, and as soon ‘as_he had closed the door after him, he fell heavily upon the floor, None of the inmates of the house heard the fall, however, they having retired for the night. About B.o'clock one of his children heard heavy breathing, and upon investigation found Mr. Reynolds lying in the hall. Medical aid was immediately obtained, but to noavail, He died about 5 o'clock. Mr. Raymond was one of the first journalists of the country, and in the Times newspaper wielded a powerful influence, not only in N. Y. and ‘State politics, but in Natfonal affairs. He was in the fortyninth year of his age, and'leaves a family. Mr, Raymond held a number of-responsi-ble offices during his' lite, among them the Lieutenant Governorship of the State of New York, and a_membership in our National Legislature, lmpa;z ial Freedom. ! The Washington negro who was mobbed by the, people of his own race for voting as he pleased, has been driven from his home and is now a refugee in Maryland. The radicals gloat over this outrage on the freedom of the elective franchise. They are a delectable set to talk about ' mniversal suffrage. They should hide their heads in shame. -It is now plain-enough that they do. not mean to enfranchise the blacks in order to confer upon them political freedom. They want them for their fotitig tools, and if these intended instrumeénts should undertake to cast a ballot for the opponents to radicalism, they will be mobbed and driven into exile. Impartial freedom and universal suffrage under radical control! Faugh! It makes a decent man's gorge rise at the very thought of such disgusting hypocnsy !q; Gt i

ON BATURDAY last, an altercation took place on our streets between two gentlemen, which calminated in blows, f?_m which neither received any injuries. Im. mediately one of the parties proceeded to the office of W. W. Skillen, and infortneéd him that *he had violated the law, and requested | him to assess a fine, and he ‘would call ardund in the afternoon and settleit. Judge of his surprise whef he was presented with' the fullowing fees, viz: $2.50 for attorney, $1.15 for ﬂar shal, $3.00 fine, and the inevitable Juaticc's fee. By what hocus pocus this was done, is inexplieable.

- “SUFFRAGE AND IMPERIALISM. . There is no doubt that a large majority of the white voters of the United States are opposed to universal suffrage. If, says the Harrisburg Putriot, it were left to the people to decide whether the elective franchise should be extended to negroes, the question would most certainly be determined in the negative. Nevertheless, by the instrumentalities of fraud and force, negro suffrage has been established :throughout the Southern States, and through the same agencies it is now attempted to foist it upon the people of the remaining States of the Union. Legislatures elected Wwithout reference to the franchise issue, the radical majorities in which were obtained upon the express pledge to the people that the question of suffrage would not be meddled with, have ratified the XVth amendment, and the States of Virginia, Texas and Mississippi are doomed to exclusion from the Union and the rule of military satraps in case they do not give their assent to this latest patching of the constitution. In this wise it is made to appear that the tendency of the popular mind is toward universal suffrage. People of ordinary powers of discernment do not fail to perceive the falsity cf this appearance and can only laugh at that folly of enthusiasm which looks on the perfect political equality of races and sexes as part and parcel of ovr manifest destiny. : Buppose that it were possible to make all people equal at the ballot-box, that white and black and yellow men and women, the Caucasian, the African and the Mongolian, were to be given the same rights as voters, what would be the inévitable result? We have an illustration in France. In that country all men are voters, The French nation are a living example of the operation of universal suffrage. But the empire exists in France. The iron hand of Napoleon 111 grasps the throat of the voting populace. And the imperial government is the logical consequence of universal suffrage. The argument is made that the voting mob must be restrained ; that the passions anq excesses of ignorance and brutality, the intrigues of ambition, and the violence and turbulence of fanaticism, must be curbed and kept within proper bounds; and to this end is provided a crowned emperor. Representative government is a failute when those who administer it are chosen by majorities made up of the ignorant, the corrupt and the brutal, who arc always controlled by the designing and the ambitious. Hence it was that Napoleon 111 made himself emperor of France by a coup d'etat and overturned the French republic in a single day.

There can be no doubt that the ulterior purpose of some of the radical leaders in forcing negro suffrage on the country, is to produce such a state of affairs as will necessitate the establishment of a monarchy or an empire upon the ruins of the republic. They aim at the destruction of representative government through the degradation of the ballot. The greater the voting population the larger the number of weak, ignorant and corruptible voters; and the addition of upwards of 600,000 negroes to that population will increase that class to such an extent ns to place government, state and federal, within its complete control. ' Even now the power of corrupt “rings” is almost irresistible, both in Congress and the State legislatures. How much greater will it not become when the manikins to be evolved by negro suffrage assemble to make our laws? It is to this condition of things that the manafchists in the radical party are looking forward. They ‘are now straining every nerve to produce it. ‘They hope to see the day when the people will become disgusted and sicken ed with republican government, controlled by the votes of ignorant and degraded blacks, when the cry will go up, as it did from the discontented Israelites, “Give us a King!” Universal suffrage is the foundation on which they mean to build an imperial throne. ;

‘ ‘ Grant’s Economy. ~The New York Herald, which supported Grant for President, is heartily ashamed of the wanton profligacy practiced at the White House. [/nder President Johnson, says the Herald, there was a very clever official, named Cushaw, who _acted as grand usher to the President.— For $1,600 a year he consented to take the whole Whits House on his sheulders. For that modest sum he was content to bear the abuse of countless visitors and to repay all with uniform politeness and ‘courtesy. How is it under President ‘Grant. There is Dent, full Brigadier, - with a salary of $5,000 per annum ; Crook receiving §1,600; Price, likewise, $1,600 ; ‘young .Douglas, $2,500; Adams, (not ‘George W. but another man), $1,600, and Simmonds, a gentleman of color, $96 per month, for ‘simply bearing cards of visitors from the eminently polite Dent to the President’s private office, All these officials combined discharge: the duty which Cushaw monopolized under Pres jdent Johnson. In other words it now requires $13,380 to accomplish the laborious business of attending the White House visitors, while it unly cost $1,600 -ander Johnson. ‘This is the way the people's money is squandeted under this great _économist, “Let us have peace.” =

Printers Opposed to “Mixture.” The National Typographical Union do not believe in the radical ‘doctrine of the equality -of the races. A resolution declaring that ‘race orcolor should not be ‘applied as a test in applications for membership, was defeated in that body Ly a vote of 56 to 28, _But s regolution admitting white §females to membership was adopted. The printers of the United States possess a goodly stock of common sense .and evince a decent respect for their own' race. There is no doubt that the same feeling exists among other trade unions; as will be manifested in due time. - The working-men are all right. e — ' ' "Phe Louisville (Ky.)

A RADICAL ON THE SITUATION. Governor Senter, of Tennessee, has published an address to the people of Tennessee in the Nashville: Press and Times, in which he defines his position relative to removing the political disabilities of the citizens of Tennessec in the following emphatic language: - :

“I am free to say that in my Judgment the time has come and isnow,?heq the limitations and discbilities which have tound their way into our statute books as the result of war, should be abolished and removed, and the privilege of the elective franchise. resto:o(r and extended so as to embrace the mass of the adult population of the State. In other words, I am in favor of so amending the Constitution of the State that the present enfranchising clauses and provisions shall be made to disappear from the same and the privilege of the elective franchise made to rest'upon the fact and condition of the present in stead of the past, and upon principles of impartiality, of equality and justice. Disfranchisement was adopted as only a temporary necessity, growing out of the needs and situation of the time, and with no expectation that it would be :long continued, and there cafn be no'reason for its further continu-. ance new, except in selfish partisan fear of lbsinf it. ® Disfranchisement necessarily produces restlessness and discontent, and, we have all seen, engenders animosities, discontent, discord and strife.© Enfranchisement will, in my opinion, heal the gnimosities which have so long divided our people and bring concord, peace and prosperity to the State ; while at the same time it is most consonant with the theory and principles of our republican form of Government and with the declarcd policy and purpose of the party now in power.” ; i 1 : 4 ettt e e i : A Villainous Murder. Col: J. G. Crane, U. 8. Army, Acting Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, was shot and killed by E. M. Yerger, on Thursday, 10thinst. The affair grew out of the action of Col. Crane in seizing the proper ty of Yerger for taxes. The following particulars are given by the Dayton Journal : The murder of ‘Colonel Crane, by Yerger, resulted from the seizure of Yerget's piano by Colenel Crane for non-payment of taxes. Yerger demandel personal satisfaction; Colonel Crane met him in the street, unarmed, not anticipating any difficulty, and gave a mild explanation. Yerger, fuarious,- whirled Colonel Crane around, denouncing him with the grossest language. Colonel Crane struck him with & light rattan, when Yerger stabbed him three times with a large thug-knife, severing his heart. - He died instantly.— The: Coroner held an inquest, and a ver-: dict of “willful murder” was returned. Yerger was arested and put in irons ina military camp at Jackson. . The body of Colonel Crane is on its way to Dayton. He was married to the elder daughter of Commodorg ‘Schenck, ot that city; she - was with him in the South. -~ He had two sons; the eldest, about eighteen years of ‘age, is-at school in Springfield, Ohio.— Colonel Crane is described as having been & man of commanding ' personal appearance, fine social culture, - decided character, and noble and generous impulses.

How Commodore Vanderbilt was ; Defeated. A correspondent of the Chicago Journal tells how a pet scheme of Commodore Vanderbilt's was recently defeated : “Some months since, he decided to. consolidate the Lake Shore Road (including the Michigan Southern) with his other roads, so as to have a.through transit to the West. To carry out his plan he proceeded to purchrse the proxies of | the first mentioned roads. with a view to controlling the election for officers and having his son-in-law, Horace F. Clark, electei' President. . Sofficient = proxies were obtained and deposited in the hands ofla certain Broad street broker who was to engineer the thing. The ‘latter however proved false to the Commodore.— Having received the proxies from him, he proceeded at once to work ‘with ans other party, and another: man and not Horace F. Clark was chosen President. 'As a rusult, Commodore Vanderbilt will 'be compelled to delay another year before he can consummate these . consolidation schemes, which are regarded with great aversion here, People are decidedly opposed to having one man possessed of such ‘an allpowerful railroad monopoly.” ;

Church, have been in: circulation, but as rumors about rich men are always flying about, this particular cne did not attract much attention.' I have just been informed;- however, that it is perfectly true. The great millionaire,. my informant.says, was received inta the Catholic Church by Archhishop McCloskey, with whom he had heen.in congyltatjon sever. al times-before the event took ‘place.— The same person informs me: that Mr. Stewart lately gave a donation of $20,000 to the House of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic institution for reclaiming fal len women. Ido not vouch for the truth of ejther statement, and I confess to some skepticism about both. But they may be true, nevertheless,—Mobile Register. The above statement has since been denied upon high Catholie authority. ———etll 4 ——ee . ‘Popular Follies Dying Out. ~ The velocipede excitement is nearly dead.

' Womax DrowNED.—Early on Monday morning of last week, the dead body ofa woman was found in the water at the foot ‘of East race, flllw Marsh & Miller's plain ing mfll. 'When discovered it was in an upright Rsit}ion’. with the head out of water. e body was taken from the race and after some time recognized as being that of Mrs. Mai}y Black, or Schwartz, an Irish women from Laporte, but who formerly lived there. From facts gathered it appears that she and . her hus. band, a German, were in the habit of indulging in lijuor quite freely, and on Saturday last in a fit of drunkenness he flogged her, and she left him, coming to this city on the 8:52 evening train.— South Bend Register. , On Saturday, the 12th inst, near Dora, in Wabgsh county, a little daughter of Isanc ﬁseed,y. while ‘trying to cross a small creek that had been swollen by the rain, slipped and fell, striking her head against a rock so severely as to disable her from regaining her feet. - She was carried by the current down the stream about balf a'mile, when her body was soon rcovered, but not until life was extinct.

A buried treasure was recently discovered near Waveland, Montgomery county, by & man named Mcllntosh. The lucky individual was en%nged in plowing, when 'he discovered a belt filled with gold coin, and an earthen vessel filled with silver. The newest of the ‘coins were dated 1851. No clue has yet been obtained by which the mystery can be solved. ‘Wood BoyJd, who resides near Cham,bexsbm'g, Orange County, was last week kicked in the left groin by a sheep, and so seriously injured that on Saturday morning no hopes were entertained of his recovery. Mr. Boyd was one of the old citizens of Orange county, and a man universally esteemed. =

A citizen of Terre Haute was arrested Friday on the charge of having procured an abortion on a young girl. He was held to bail in the sum of $5OO to answer to the complaint. The bond was filed and the defendant was set at liberty. William' Holman, printer, of Evansville, was/ thrown from his horse on Thursday, and was dragged fully one hundred yards before he could extricate his foot from the stirrup. He had a rib broken and sustained other serious injuries. i ; ‘ MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. - At Glandorf, Putman County, Ohio, a son of Mr. Kemper, & wealthy citizen, was in a saloon drinking and his brother was sent to get him home. Words followed concerning a division of property which the! father had made, when the young man who had been drinking drew a knife and plunged it into his brother’s neck. The wounded man died in about thirty minutes. The murderer went to Ottawa immediately, surrendered himself, and was lodged in jail. The dying brother shook hands with him, and remarked that the stab was not meant for him. !

Harness-Makers held a picnic at Newark, New Jersey, on Tuesday, of last week. Senator Sprague was present and made a speech, reiterating his former opinion of national affairs. He said prosperity was unequal, and step by step the nation was losing its best interests and liberty. We want a. corractive balance of power to! prevent a few individuals from -monopolizing power ; we want morey as cheap a 8 it can be procured by the people of other countries to promote industry. He advised them to organize for their own protection. : : On Tuesday evening of last week, near Cameron, West Virginia, two brothers, named James and Jesse Clouston, were shearing sheep, when a dispute arose between them| concerning a table-cloth which James/had promised to give Jesse (as the latter! claimed) on the ocasion of ‘his marriage, which occurred six months ago. Finally James called Jesse aliar, and Jesse replied with a blow; whereapon James stabbed his, brotber with.a pair of sheep shears, and 'killed him instantly! Last week a piece of ground near the residence of John Johnsons, ifi Plainfield, Michigan, sunk to the depth of about eighty feet, carrying with it soveral trees and stumps. The open space is funnelshaped, and about seventy feet across the top. Some of the trees lodged about half way down, while others went to the bottom. There is said to be continually. coming up from the deep and seemingly bottomless holé a distant roaring sound, as of rushing waters, ' :

Enoch Hoag, Quaker Superintendent of Indian Affairs, at Atchison, Kansas, telegraphed to the Indian Bureau: “The reports of the hostilities in Northwest Kansas are exaggerated and conflicting.

Nine-tenths of these “people” aré emigrants, bound for our great Republic with the design of making- tﬁeir ‘homes upon its ‘broad and fertile acres. The opening of the Pacific Railroad undoubtedly has had the effect to increase emigration. and it is scarcely a stretch of imagination, to say that the strokes ‘ff‘m that last nail on the 10th day of ay were heard reverberating among the hills and valleys of - France, Swit: zerland, Germany, Norwag. and indeed all of the lands of the Old World.

7 ° 'The State Fair. : The State Fair premium list has been published. ,Tgé fair will commence Monday, September 27th, and continue during the week. Twelve thousand 'dollars inpremiums will be distributed, beside society’s medal and diaplomas, and no per ceut or entry tees will be charged. All parties interested can be supplied with premium lists on application to the Secretary, Hon. Fielding Beeler, either by letter or in person, at his office in the State House, Indianapolis. No unusually large single premiums are offered, buta great number of cash premiums are offered—as, for instance, in the live stock department tliere are twen-ty-four premiums on horses for general purposes, and a like number on breeding cattle, while there.are eighteen for hogs. Large premiums are offered on field crops—wheat, corn, oats, etc. The Board has reduced the premium on speed to a nominal figure, and turfmen will not be likely to take possession of this fair as they did the ?ast. — el P—— > Wonderful Dog.“ The Indianapolis. Sentinel tells a very tough story in relation to a dog owned by. a lady of that city. The dog having become old and good for nothing, thé lady remarked to a laboring man connected with the family, that she wanted ‘him to take the .old fellow down -to the river and drown him.that night. The servant promised to do so sfter supper. At this stage of the conversation, the old dog, who had been Iying quietly on the hearth, arose, and giving the conspirators a look morein sorrow than in anger, left the house. On: a rise of | ground not far away, he stopped, took a lingering gaze at the house and vicinity, then bounded off towards the woods, and has not been seen or heard of gince. That :dog is certainly a wonderful _animal and deserves to be installed ' into office as assistant to the keeper of the pound. . - Women’s Rights. ~ © - The Indiana ladies have caught the Women’s Rights fever, and are holding a convention at Indianapolis for the purpose of advancing the cause.— The Rev. Henry Blanchard threw a firebrand' into the assemblage by saying that the great difficulty about con-’ fering suffrage upon women was that the woren themselves ‘were opposed to the measure, and 'didn’t -want to vote. Miss Amanda Way thereupon intimated that men were not wanted there to disturb the harmony of the sisterhood ; “they had created all the fuss in the New York convention, and their room would be better than thei’r‘ company. Sorozis is not given to gallantry, which is probably regarded as a masculine -.wea£ness_.‘--New: Albany Ledger. Bbl laig? ol

Just as Mr. Murdoch commenced the recital of “The Vagabonds,” by Trowbridge, at Manayunk, Pennsylvania, one évening last week, a stout-ly-built man advanced rapidly to the front and springing upon' the platform, made an attack upon Mr. Murdoch. who was, of course, unprepared for such treatment. He soon recovered himself, and, striking at his assailant, sent him reeling into the hands of a policeman, who took bim to the police station. It was subsequently ascertained that the perpetrator of the act had been subject to spasms that overbalanced his reasons, and, as Mr. Murdoch refused to appear against him, the man waareleased.. 'Mr, Murdoch soon recovered from the blow, and proceeded with thq reading. .

In the report of the proceedings of the anniversary meeting of the Antislavery society, in session in New York, a speeci): by Fred. Douglass is spoken of, in which it is said that “He incidently alluded to the ‘amalgamation of the white and negro races, which he said was certain to follow the elevation of negroes to social and political equality. Notwithstanding disavowals by some friends of the negro, he believed it would produee beneficial results.” That ‘beneficial results’ will follow may perhaps be admitted : but, as the amalgamation must occur between radicals and the negro, it is an open question as to whether the “beneficial results” will mainly acerue to the former or the latter.

Jeffrey Nichols, a highly respeetable and truthful gentleman, living near Shipman Illinois, avers that one day last week, while he was out on his farm rebuilding fences torn down by the late tornado; he noticed a man on horseback, with a tin stove-boiler on his' head, comiug down ‘the lane leading toward the farm of John Hamilton. Turning his eyes from the horse and man - a moment, he looked up again-and beheld them flying-across the field, and then again ‘across in front of Hamilton’s house. where the. horse, man and boiler" disappeared ina kind of fire and smoke. 'He is greatly trouble and ‘thinks somthing will happen. o o e S N The Standard says : “Kendallville ‘recieved its name from Amos Kendall, who was, postmaster-General when Jackson was President.

" The reeent (unanimous) decision of ‘th§ﬂ_§pm; ou ,Coi'l‘ennesqee in regard to the operation of the frauchise law in :m-.,gme,*is., very importont,: and excites a lively interest all over the State.. Under its operation some forty thousand white men who have hitherto been - practically denied the suﬁrageff—thougi registered voters—are to be restored to their rights.— This will not give the Conservatives of Tennessee a majority of the voters, but it will so increase their voting strength as to be able to make themgelves felt in the contest now, raging ‘between the two Radical Factions. ‘Hereafter, instead of denouncing every Democrat and Conservative as .a. traitor who deserves death at the ‘hands-of the hangman, one at least, if not both of these factions, will seek lto secure the votes of these “traitors” 'as have them. :

'Under the law of Tennessee, which has thuos been annulled “by the Supreme Court, the Governor had the power to set aside the registration and annul the election in any county, for any cause which he might:see proper. This was done by Brownlow in numerous instances, and at least two of the Radical members of Congress from that State are indebted to the exercise 7of this power for their seats. ‘Whether they will have the grace to give up their seats to those legally entitled to them, however, is very d oubtful.—New Albany Ledger.

A brief telegram trom an eye witness says that a prize fight hetween Mike McCool and Allen took place on Foster’s Island, about twenty-five miles below St. Louis on the 15th inst, Their castors were shied into the ring about half past one, but the fighting did not commence until three o’clock, McCool knocked Allen down on the first round. 'The fighting was very severe until the eighth round; when Allen struck a foul blow and McCool was declared the winner.
