‘Resistance to Tyrants u-obm..e. to God. ~ J. B.STOLL, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, NOV, 3, 1869, R S A SRS AT SO, ) TO OUR READERS. : “Upon- mature reflection, we have detdrmined to adopt the cash in advance system with all our subseribers. No paper will be sent from this office after the first day of January next that is not prepaid. Bills will be made out against all who are in arrears, and if pot paid at the above stated time, their names will be erased from our list, and the amount collected according to law. We earnestly call upon all our readers to.aid us in inaugurating the advance systein—the only one upon which a paper can be successfully published. Democratic County Convention. The Democrats of Noble county are requested to meet at the courthouse in Albion, on SATURDAY, m*é 20th day .of ,No- 1 vember, at 1 o'clock », . for the,f;")‘umposc of electing fourteen delegates to the Democratic State Convention, to be beld 'at' [ndianapolis on the Bfh of Janvary next. A full attendance is earnestly desired. ¥ T i ' J.B.BSTOLL, Chairman Detnocratic Central Committee. . A SSRTTI WA RO T RAET. \ Exclnding the Bible from the Public ; ' Sechools. : A This question has latterly attracted considerable attention on part of the citi- : zens of Cincinnati, and led to very ani: ‘ mated discussions through the press and in public ‘assemblies. On+Monday the,l school board met to redch a final decision ; the discussion lasted till midnight, when the following resolutions were adopted. by a vote of 22-ayes to 15 nays: Resolved, That . religious instruction, reading of religious books, including the holy bible, are prohibited in the common schools of Cincinnati ;- it being the true object and intent of this rule to allow children ot parents of all sects and opin:” ions, on matters of faith and worship, to enjoy - a free benefit of the common ‘ schoolg, '« «Ms

Resolved, ; That so much of the regulations oh the course of studyand . textbooks in the intermediate and district schools as reads as follows: “The opening exercises in every department shall commence hy reading a portion of the bible by, or under direction of, the teacher, and apprjczlpriate singing by the pupils,” be repealed. - jaria _ et el < R —— e Temperance Movemient. - At the meeting of the Good Templars of the 81st District, held at Angola, SteubHen county, on . the 20th ult,, the following preamble and resoluticns were unanimously _adopted: . " WHEREAS, = Scripture,” Science, and History démonstrate that total abstinenee from intoxicating drinks is the only true temperance. | - : ] . Resolved, That the licensing of such an evil is wrong and ruinous, and wherever adopted hag-proved a failure even to diminish the evils of temperance; that prohibition 'is the only. safe legislation andthe only legislation that can be practically enforcedg, and therefore no law, however stringent, which recognizes the right to sell intoxicating drinks cannot receive our sanction.

Resolved, That to be consistent members of otr order, it is our duty to vote for no man that is nov at heart, a decided friend to the cause of temperince. Mr. Griswold, who leported the above, is the republican Auditor of DeKalb county. 'We are anxious tosee what dimensions this movement will assume. - - : Death of John B. Norman., The telegraph' conveys the sad intelligence that John B, Norman, the veteran editor of the New Albany (Ind.) Ledger, was suddenly stricken with apoplexy on Monday afterngon, and died in a short time. Mr.' Nor‘gan has occupied the ed itorial chair for a period of twenty-two years, and was conceded to be one of the best campaign managers in the West. His paper was. conducted with that candor and truthfulness which command respect, and with an energy and ability that was powerful for good. He was beloved' by political friends and foes alike, for the purity of his character and his social and’ moral worth, His age was forty-five. Mr. Norman lias long been a prominent leader in the ranks of the Democracy of Indiana, and an able and influential citizen of the State ;' the void thus left will long be felt) ! - '~ _Montana for Whites, s ; Gov. Ashley has come out in favor of making the government, of Montana purely.a white man’s government. He says he 18°a practical man, and practically he has found that the future prosperity and well-being of that Territory will greatly depend upen preventing ¢ malgamation of the white andglack races. ‘Thisis a bumper for Ashley’s Ohio friends, and from the tones of the Blade and Commercial, of Toledo, we infer that it makes every particular negro-equality hair tostand on end l—Air Line. | = Jim knows which way the wind blows, Hé wants to go to the United States Senate.

A Little Unpleasantness. A New York despatch . dated October‘; .30th, says : *“Charles A. Dana and Horace Greeley‘,lﬂét in a street car this afternoon, and had quite a war of words, The Sun to-day finished every article and par‘agraph with “Vote for Greeley.” It has given Mr. Greeléy a mock support for some time ‘ past. Greeley, when he stumbled upon Dana in the car, abused him soundly, and the latter replied in kind. At one time it looked like a game of fisticuffs. There is quite an effort here to give Greeley a good vote next Tues-fh}-"“r' o T i e Yesterday elections for' State officers were held in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Wisconsing and Minnesota.

- However much we may be oppojed to the present national administration, we would be loth to charge it with anything that cannot be fully sustained by existing facts. We hgve ’oﬂen thought that partisan - papers evinced too much anxiety to unfairly criticise the acts of an administration of oppoeite political complexion, thereby ereating a sentiment among their readers which effectually precludes an impartial examination and places them in_unqualified antagonism to every measure emanating from that eomfce. T'o suggest a remedy for this would be the height of folly, for ‘all men are more or less possessed of prejudice that cannot be sufficiently - suppressed to guard against an oceasional act of injustice to a real or imsginary foe, and especially not in a case involving the repute of a political antagonist. We are led to these remarks by the -perusal of the apparently well-authen-ticated charges of President Grant’s complicity in the recent gold speculations in the city of New York. Even ‘the warmest friends of Gen. Grant do not attempt to deny that during |the short period of his Presidential career he has committed many gowise acts ; that he has, in a great measure, lost the respect due the highest officer of the nation by bestowing the federal patronage upon his relatives and those who had presented him with houses, libraries, &c. But all these “indiscre. tions,” to put it mildly, are eclipsed by the startling revelations that have just come to light coneerning the recent gigantic gold operations in Wall street, and of whieh' the telegraph gives us the following information :

“Furtherrevelations have been made by Mr. Gould in regard to the com glicity of General Grant's fami'y and riends in the late gold speculationg— Corbin, who received asloo,ooo check at one time and $25,000 at another from Gould, is said to have conveyed ten lots in Hudson City, valued at $2,000 each, to Mrs, Grant. The latter has been frequently promised by Corbin that she would make money if they (ithe ring) succeeded in preventing the sales of gold. Corbin, when he urged the president to prevent the sales by Boutwell, also wrote such a letter to Mrs. Grant. In the course of the correspondence which passed between Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Corbin, the former writes to the latter : “My husband is very much annoyed at your speculations ; he tries not to be influenced by them, but fears he is.— Another reason why they must be closed is because Cuban matters will soon come’ upon the cabinet, and the action of our government will influence. the price of bonds.” . = = “It is now considered certain by the ‘ uninterested parties that Corbin tried, and has partly succeeded, in turning‘ an honest penny for -the account of Mrs. Grant, That the president congidered it a pretty good thing, but would not interfere one with another, but at the early stages of the operativos did all Ourbin and Gould wanted him to do, is shown by theé appointment of Butterfield as sub-treasurer, who was Corbin's appointee, though Grant knew him not to be the finans { cial man for the place. Batterfield now is shown to be deeply interested in the gold; speculations, and to have been in the ring with the rest of them. It is reported that he has mortgaged all his real estate to pay his losses.”

- New York, October 21.—The extraordinary revelations in regard to the relations between the members of Grant’s family and the Wall street speculators have created intense excitement here. - The grand jury, which had subpenaed a number of Wall street bankers and brokers, dismissed all the witnesses this. morning, held a long, secret deliberation, and informed all that they would be called when wanted. It is now believed that the’ parties who first were auxious to have an investigation are working hard to have it indefinitely postponed. It is distinctly charged by several Wall street ‘brokers that Secretary Boutwell wag in with the bear ring throughout September; that at the instance of the bears, when he saw that Grant. would not allow him to sell' gold, he placed bank examiners 'in the Tenth National bank, when he kunew' the bank was safe’and sound, and caused a great run on the bank, thus creating distrust and panic, and aiding/the loyal leaguers, who were short of gold, to make all the money they could.— Corbin has told Mr. Gould that Boutwell is aiming at the Presidency, ~nd doing all he can to favor the ultra raaicals. All ¢hese revelations are to-day the great topic of conversation everywhere, and the journals that have hith-' erto kept aloof from the controversy, and ridiculed the charge brought by Gould and Fisk against the Grant family, now look upon it as a serious matter, and all express the opinion that whore thoro is e 6 mauch -emoho there must be some fire. Itis confirmed that Butterfield, the assistant treasurer, has pat all his property out ot his hands. The scandal about him is 8o great that it is not *believed he can he retained in office much longer.

It is stated that the President indignantly denies” the accusations contained in the above; and for the sake of the high office which he holds, we hope he may succeed in proving his innocence. This, judging from present aspects, will not be an easy task. If, afiér the thorough investigation by competent authority of the charges against the President that existing facts demand, it be found that he was implicated in any such combinations, —and the undeniable fact of his amassing wealth through the influence of his office tends to substantiate the charge | ~then let the' law and the nation’s ‘honor be vindicated by the impeachment of the corrupt official, = . ‘Gen. Butterfield has been eompelled to tenderh}ljeﬁt&aﬁon ag United Btates Sub Treasurer at New York, o He is said to havy been a silent partner | of Gould and-Fiek, and to have lost

F:’?"AM";“ ' G I o ?Eiﬁ lil‘ S gvas . P ~ The appointment of men :olngfu:ﬁci al position, who are well known bankrupts, in both brains and politicsl hones ty, simply because through favoritism and the influence of wealthy and influential friends, they attained a position of doubtful ‘eminence in military circles, has had its day. The recent gigantic gold speculation in Wall street in which that high official, General Butterfield, was engaged, will, as the New York World justly re‘marks, secure the fall of the reign of shoul-der-straps which we bave been living under, and also to exhibit the inefficiency ot men of this class for impertant civic positions. In the case of General Barlow, it is true that his resignation does not l show anything discreditable to him.— But most of the military incumbents of_i high civil office are incompetents, and owe their places not to the fact that they are soldiers—for most of them are pot—: but that they were tricky politicians before thie war, and got on in the army by intrigue. ' The regularly bred officers of the army are mostly men of honor and capacity, and verg few of them would be suspected of. prostituting thdir public functione in bebalf of a corrupt combination of capitalists, Let us hope that we have had an end of the elevation of military politicians to civil offices.

Burning of the Steamer “Stonewall,” The steamer “Stonewall,” on the Mis sissippi, caught fire at 614 o'clock, Wedvesday - evening,” October 27th, at a pdint a little below Neely's landing, 125 miles below Bt. Lonis, from a_ candle wineh/' the deéck passengers had near some hay while ‘playing cards. The steamer was run on a gravel bar,the’ pilot supposing that the passengers could‘wade -ashore on the bar. Unfortunately at the lend of tke bar there wasa slough, and there it was that the large number was drowned. The boat was not run on the bar but two feet, and the shallowest part about her had five or six feet of water.— The boat: had so much hay aboard that she burned like tinder, and all efforts to put it out were unavailing. The Belle Memphis came up at half past 9, three hours after the accident, and rendered all the assistance possible. ‘Out of 252 passengers and crew, only 80 are known to be saved. The last seen of Capt. Scott he was floating down stream on a log. The people at Neely's saw the light and hastened to assist. One man rescued 16 persons with a skiff . Had it not been for their help all would have been lost. A gentleman from Paducah, Ky, swam ashore with a lady, and at her entreaty returned to save her child. In swimming ashere hie was grasped by a drowning man-‘ and would have been drowned nimself had he pot shook him off.. One man was taken from the wreck so badly burned

that he died as soon as he rea(:fed the shore.. Capt. Doudy, of Shreveport, La., was saved There were 39 cabin, passengers, :and 60 of'the crew. Quite a num ber of ladies were on board, all' probably lost except one. Fulkerson, the pilot, and the carpenter * were the only ones of' the crew saved. t !

Another Opinion, 3 In addition to the recently published opinion of the Attorney General, concerning the holding of two offices by one per son; Mi. Williamson Las addressed the following letter to a citizen of this place: ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, | : & October 25th, 1869. | J. 8. LockuAßT, Esq, Ligonier, Ind. - Dear Sir :—1 am'in the receipt of your note of the 18th inst. 1. Inanswer to which permit me to say that two lucrative offices cannot be held by the same person, at the same time, 2. The acceptance of the last office, vacates the first.—Vlll Blkf, 329. i ¢+ B.'lf the incumbent acted and discharged daties under the first, after he accepted the latter office, be was guilty of ueurpation of office.—ll Vol. G. & H., p 464, See. XX. : : - 4. His official acts’were good as to the public und their persons, as an officer, de Jfacto. His right to hold the office of Justice of the Peace cannot be collaterally inquired into. He must be ousted by direct proceeding. . lam respecfully, , ' D. E. WILLIAMSON, Aft'y.-Gen. " Our readers will readily understand that the above as well as the former _opiilinn relates to the status of W. W, Skillen as a Justice of the Peace. It appears therefrom that Skillen has officiated as a Justice in violation of law since his acceptance. of the office of Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue, but’ that his official acts are nof, in consequence thereof, invalid under existing laws. 'ln .other words, the public is not to suffer for Skillen's unlawful exercise of authority. The legal fraternity, we understand, _generally agree on this point, and steps "will be taken at the fiext session of the Common Pleas court to restrain Skillgn from further usurpation. = : i

<. > - “Mother is very Sick.” The malicious Garber, of the Madison Courier, tells a passable one on some of his Democratic fellow citizens, as we learn from the New Albany Zedger. It seems- that, seized with a laudable de sire to become posscssed of Radical greenbacks and wear winter tiles at Radical expense, a number of Democrats sent ane of their number'to Cincinnati on the day of the Ohio election for the purpose iof telegraphing the result, for betting purposes, at the earliest possible moment. To prevemt their object being known to Radical operators and others of the unregenerate, they agréed upon a gystem of cipher. If the result was favorable to Pendleton, thy young man was to. telegraph, “Mother is better,” if unfavorable, the cabalistic words were to be “Mother is sick.” When the Hamil. ton county returns eame in, the yorng Madisonian hastened to telegraph, “Mother is much better—ont of danger,” Upon thereception of this.gratifying news relative to the health of the mater: nal parent, it was communicated to the “ring,” who at once proceeded to bunt up Radical victims. They found them, and went their pile on Pendlcton. Late in the day, another despatch wuﬁgm “Mother is very sick—much woise.”— The unfortunates tried to “hedge,” but it was tno late. Nobody weuld now bef ~on Pendleton, and the afflicted ones - had to pay their bets, - “Mother is very sick’ 18 now & by-word, ‘wherewith Madisor Rads tanttheir Defocratio friends. But all this may.

Another Radical |Judge has been rewarded for his perfidy. Governor Geary has tendered the office of Attorney-Gen-eral, now held by Benj. H. Brewster, to Frederick C. Brewster, Judge of the ‘Court of Common Pleas, of Philadelphia, and one of the majority of the-court that decided the recent contested election case in favor of the Republican eontestants.— He will probably be succeeded on the benzh by Edward M. Payson. The Virginia Legislatyre hasadjourned to meet on the second Tdesday after Congress shall have gone through the farce «f re-admitting the State into the Union. They elected Lieut.-Gov. Lewis United States” Semator for the long term, and Judge John W. Johnston for the short term. Having ratified the Fifteenth Amendment, and elected Representatives and Senators in Congress, Virginia will appear atthe next session for the first time in nearly nine years. - At Faneuil Hall, Boston, on nguésday of last week, a convention of working men assembled, and resolutions were adopted against the ccutrallzation of wealth and power, as' representing the developmient of the masses; claiming equal wages for men and women, where work performed is equal in quality and quantity ;° indtﬁing” the labor ‘reform movement, and protesting against long bours of labor in fictories, and the overworking of children of tender age. The working women met in the same hall in ‘the evening. Tl |

It is said to have been discovered that the newly elected Senator from Virginia, Mr. Johnston, as well as Mr. Gibson, oné of the Representatives from that Stste, is still laboring under the disabilities im: pdsed by the Fourteenth Amendment.— The amendment was ratified after the passage of the'act by Congress relieving the disabilities of Johnston and Gibson, and it is asserted that the act of Congress approved April Ist, 1869, removing the disabilities imposed by the "Fourteenth Amendment, fails to embrace in its terms the cases of Johnston and Gibson. ’

Highly Important from Yenmnessee.. In the lower house of the Tennessce Legislature, on the Ist inst.,, Mr. White offered a preamblé reciting the following clause in the constitution of Tennessee : “No senator or reprsentative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be eligible toany office or place of trust, the appointment to which is vested in the executive or the general assembly, eﬁﬁ&g the office of a trustee of a literary, injtitution.” et : , Following this was aresolutien declaring the election of,Henry Cooper, a representative from Davidson county, in state senate to the United States senate, illegal and void, and providing for a legislative convention 'at a future day, to elect a senator in his place. A motion was made by'a member, who declared the resolution an insult to the legislature, to suspend the rules for the purpose of ta'king action on it, announcing bis intention to move to lay it on the table. ' The motion to suspend failed. Ayes, 30; noes, 82. lie The . resolution was 'then referred to the judiciary committee. This movement created considerable stir. The author is ‘a warm supporter of Mr| Johoson, who is still at Nashville. John Bell was elec: ted to the state senate, some years ago, whilst & representative from Davidson in the legislature, and took his seat unjuestioned. Johnson’s supporters say this ‘may be a precedent, but is not law.— The house bill calling a state conven. tion paised the senate on first reading. ———e 4 @ B ¢ G e g .

A San Francisco paper says the Pacific Railroad has been the means of introducing sharper competition into almost every department of trade there, and local interests bave thereby been injured.— Some . manufacturers in San Francisco have;already been compelled to discharge half ' their bands.

The Alaska Indians bave suffered ma- ' ny indignities at the hands of American ‘emigrants since the acquisition of their - country by the United States. They have - suffered, too, in silence and meekness of .spirit. Now, however, there comes news of a terrible reaction wmong them. They have reached that state ggurativdy ex: pressed by the straw and the camel.——‘ Cheir blood is up, and roars of rage and dismay reverberate among the ice crowned hills of their native land. This is the cause : they have just heard that a scheme is on foot to settle a large number of Bos- l tan men amang them, The indignant sav--age will certainly havs the sympathy this time of all the world, outside of Boston. - .

Ohio Still in Doubt. Things are not settled in Ohio yet, says the St. Louis Republican. ~There is a Republican Governor re-elected, and a Republican majority chosen to'each house of the Legislature—one in the Senate and three in the House. At first _'ft ‘was thought that this put all disputed matter at rest; but it doesn’t, The fhas‘é stands thus; the two Republican Senators and five Representatives elected from Hamilton county, hold the balance of power in either House, and can defeat the Fifteenth Amendment if they wish to. They were chosen on a Reform or Fusion ticket, by Democratic votes—fof Hamilton gave 1,300 nfajorit._y against tlievß'epubli? can ticket. Their Republican oppenents, who abused them and voted against them, are now treating thewa very affectionately, and’ claiming them as party property, while the Democrats, who really elected them, naturvlly expect them to reflect the wishes of their constituents, The two Senators are reported to have declared themselves in favor of the amendment, and some of the Representatives, it is claimed, will vote for it also. But this is far trem certain. One of the Representatives recently stated that h’eo‘_"s'dted. against it along with fifty thousand of his fellow citizens, two years ago, and he has not changed his opinion sipce,” Two others will not tell how they will vote—= - which means that they have not decided to vote for it. With such'slim chances of success as these, it looks-very much as though the ‘amendment will never get Ohio’s vote, o o e

Easily Consoled, S Some cf our Democratic contemporaries (says the New Albany ZLedger.) are consoling. themselves that the Radical ‘majorities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, are no larger. Well, we suppose it 7s consolatory to know that it might have been worse, though we must confess that, so far as practical results are concerned, it is a matter of little consequence whether Pendleton and Packer are defeated by five or twenty five thousand. Defeated parties always find something to«console them ; for example, when Vallandigliam was -defeated by a handred thousand, some of our brethren of the Democratic press averred: that the result had one consolatory circumstance attending it—the election would be an excellent ome. for counting Democratic gains upon the foture! Our friends in Ohio have certainly gained largely upon Mr. Vallandigham'’s vote. | i St

So far as’ Mr. Pendleton' iy concerned, it was a great wrong to drag him into the Ohio canvass for Governor. He had refused the nomination inthe first place, for the office of Governor had no charms for him, even were his election placed be: yond a contingency. He is defeated, but the vote he received in his own county is'a splendid tribute to his great worth and the high estimation in which he is held by his neighbors and those: who know him beat. = 0 SoniE oLy

The loss of Pennsylyaria is more unex pected than that of Ohio. Geary was notoriously unpepular even with his own party, and it was believed that Judge Packer would have little difficulty in defeating him by a decided majority. But these’hopes have been disappointed, and it I'a matter of little consequence now to inquire whether the result was brought about by the follies-and Jedlousies and selfishness of Democrats, or their absolute inferiority in numbers. ~
