We suggest to our brethren of the press that a meeting of the Democratic editors of the State be held at Indianapolis, the day before the meeting of our State Convention. At such a meeting a free consultation on the political situation could be held and much good might result therefrom. What response shall we receive to the proposition ?

Gen. Grant has only partially recovered from his late attack of the “Cholera Morbus”—that is what they call it now. This annoying malady appears to come upon the head of the nation at regular intervals. It was reported that Grant was attacked by the same disease when he was swinging around the circle with Andy Johnson- but at that time the Radicalg called it- a plain drunk,

MOSES, the man who undertook to lead South Carolina out ot the wilderness of Federal rule, by hauling down the United States flag that floated over Ft. Sumpter, is now the Grant gandidate before the Radical eonvention for Governor. We make no objection to this, for he is a native of South Caro« lina and iB'in every way preferable to the infamous carpet bagger who now fills the Siate Executive office ; but what a howl the Radicals of Indiana would send up if the man who “hauled down the American flag'” were nominated by a Democratic Convention.

- It is almost a universal custom for Banks to charge more than a legal rate of interest, but according to a recent decision in an Ohio Court this practice of banks is entirely unauthorized by law and is attended with some hazard.— This decision of Judge Jackson’s court brings to light an old act of Congress, passed in 1854, for the special purpose of préventing this general custom of extortionate interest. The Court’s In~ terpretation of this law causes the lender of money to forfeit bath principal and interest in every case when more than six per cent, use is demanded.

The Chicago Postis especially prolific of pet names when speaking of Gov=~ ernor Palmer. Tt.calls him “a secondclass demagogue,” “a first-class falsifier,” “anapostate,’”’ “a political weathercock,” “a self-seeking popular timeserver,” “an imposter,” “a cheat,” “a gelf-convicted falsifier,” “a political mounte-bank,” “a detected sneak,” &c., &c. Now, if Gov. Palmer does not want to be suddenly converted into this kind of a man, let him quit being a Liberal Republican and come out squarely for the virtuous and incorruptible Ulysses San ;Donjingo Grant.

~ The London Telegraph of the 16th inst., thus evinced its appreciation of the awkward position created by the nature ol the case: “The ill-advised insertion,” it is said, “of a claim for in~ direct damages in the American .case has placed Gen. Grant’s administration in an awkward dilemma, If they withdraw the claims after a formal espousal of thems they lay themselves open to the-charge of having sacrificed the national rights and interests; if they insist upon the retention of the claims, and thus cause the Washington treaty to come to nothing, they are exposed to the accusition of hav~ ing thrown away an arrangemeént to the succeseful carrying out of which great importance is attached by the States. In any event it is evident that the attempt to settle our difficulties with England is likely ‘to make us the laughing stock of all the nations of the Earth. i

The Springfield Republican reminds General Grant of an opportunity to treat the county to a little of that civil service reform for which he pretends such fondness.. Last summer he put a Mr. Lowell in the Mobile postmastership to oblige one of his partisans, Senator Spencer, the officer removed being a friend of ex-Senator Warner, Spencers’s rival, The appointment seems to have turned out a good one, the Mobilians having received - their . mails regularly and in good order; with the money letters intact. Buta few months ago Postmaster Lowell notified - Senator Spencer that he would not submit = to - be blackmailed anﬁ longer to the tane of $lO a week for the support of the Mobile Herald.” Now the Herald is the Senator’s own._ paper, and the result of' this revolt on t.Ko part of Mr. Lowell has been the surreptitious canceling of his bond, and the sending to the senate of the name of one John J. Moalton forj\fost' master at ' Mobile. It issaid that Moulton is & clerk ﬂho was turned out of the Mobile office some time ago for neglect of duty ﬁzd general incompetency, “Common pﬁqily," says the Repidioan, “requires us 1o bliove the President made the nomination in ignorance, - But what a fine ¢hance is ‘ “% ; ,Ji R WW’

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1872,

' SPEECH OF HON. J. B. STALLO, On Taking his Seat as Temporary Chalrman of the Reunion and Reform Convention st Cimstangl, - ot L the Bonor you have conferred upon me by selecting me as temporary chairman of the convention, IP approach the attempt to discharge the Suﬁeg thus put on me with great diffidence. I very much fear that as reformers, who propose to inaugurate the practice of selecting men for the discharge of public trusts with a single regard to the merits of the men, you have made a eomew*bilt inauspicious beginning, for I am sadly deficient in all the qualifications, including gi"eat;physica? vigor and a thorough familiarity with parliamentary usages, a rule without which it is impossible satisfactorily to preside over your deliberations even for a brief hour. But I bow'to your decision, trusting that there ig hope of success in the honesty of my endEmv.-é, ors. With the purposes for which this convention has been called, and the circumstances under which we have met, you are all familiar,, We are here as independent citizens of the American republic. We have emerged from a conflict which iavolved the very life and existence of the nation. That conflict is now ended ; the nation lives. The old home of our fathers is still the home!of the whole American family, of all its children, native and adopted. That home has been beautified" .and enlarged,but has not been divided, The Union is unbroken. Wherever in all the land an American freeman turns his eye heavenward he beholds its sacred emblem, the old flag, and there are none but freemen now to behold it. 'The old aspiration which always rises from the heart to the lips whenever the Union is thought of ‘Esfo Perpetua’ is no longer a trembling prayer, but the s{:irited utterance of an imperishable faith, and now you, who ' have come here from all parts of the no longer sections of our common coun"try, stand here side by side, united in gpirit us “you are united in interest. There is but one throb now to all your -hearts, and but one purpose to all your endeavors, ‘That purpose is to make our country prosperous and great, and to secure the freedom, happiness: and - equal rights of all its eitizens ; to reform the abuses which have sprung from a long prevalence of mere pariy sway, and from the lawlessness and turbulence involved in the recent semirevolutionary condition of our civil af--fairs, and to restore the foundations of constitutional liberty wherever they have begn impaired or destroyed. You meet here with'the. firm resplution to preserve a recollection of go much only of the past as is necegsary, in order to wigely profit by its lessons, and to congign to oblivion whatever, though it ‘originateg in honest impulse, ended in bitterness and anger. You have been arrayed against each other upon the ‘question, which the voice of history has answered. You havebeen divided a 8 by a cloud, which has not only ceased to be fiery, but which has been "wholly dispelled. Yoa have been engaged in the trial of issues, which have been settled irrevocably and forever. In the clear light of dispassionate re~ flection, you see.that the issues to be decided are issues of to-day and not .ot yesterday; that all the problems - which present themselvesto the Ameri-* can people for present golution are problems ot peace, and that the questions of the future find expression not in the watchword of camps that have long since been abandoned, or in the slogans of parties that have degenerated into clans, but in the articulate demands resulting from the practical necessities of the hour. ' Having met here in this spirit and with these convictions, you would not permit me to adderess you by any old names; you are mno longer Republicans or Democrats’; [great cheers] you are no long-. er divided by a diversity of interest; of feeling, and you are no longer separated by mutual distrust; the visors are up, the old party masks are off and you stand face to face, and your faces exhibit the econvention hneaments of patriotism. The old Democrat, as he looks into the eye of his republican brother he finds there an un~ -extinguishable love of liberty, and an imperishable affection for the Union; | and these he recognizes as good old democratic virtues. Though things may. have been done, and may be done in its name which the true lover of liberiy and the Union reprobates, the ReBnbljcan as he meets the glance of the emocrat, finds there stern resistance to all arbitrary rule, the inflexible purpose stoutly to n{;hold not only the Constitution, but also its proper limits ; and these are good republican virtues’ as well, though, like all virtues, they may degenerate into vices by excess. But we mean now to guard against all excess by tempering the sterner virtues of the old Democrat with the milder virtues of the old Republican. There may be much to regret and something to atone for, but there is nothing now in the soul of any man who has come to Cincinnati to attend this convention to be distrusted. [Cheers. - You are all aware that in another and a larger hall in this city, there is ‘now or soon will be a gathering of ?tho;o min,~‘mho.,-e;nihoubaxa agmmli:;; : ly - for the sameé purpose which has ‘brought: you to ?tgi! room, Like us they are intent upon t@wﬁt‘ff?the gov_ernment to its constitutional foundations ; like us, thﬁyg:opme not only to reform the abuses,but to remove thecondmonﬁfmm:‘%ieh&mubnm | E:BWMBB amﬁﬁ ‘public instramentalitios to private ends; lika‘{ us they propose o search the national immateblo ‘laws which govern the WWW"?W@MW"“ 0L waatth, “dmm*vw to it that our statutes shall be asimple. _expression . of the laws; like us, love they concede that there is monity of interest and an identity ‘of e m&fg@ W%ﬂﬂ%’%w@fi B el b ey o g g huiie by it Gt d - npwds A i T e e,

there might still be a larking dis‘quietude among those whose. sons or ‘bgpthers lately bore m;?s-in defense of #43, Union, because of the- posed opet Ttetntty oF Boyotins Ps those who do not choose to assume the Republican name. I believe that in this they are mistaken. [Cheers,| That the generous trust of the people is even larger, if possible, than ours. We hadhoped to stand by their side on the platform at Industrial Hall as we already stand on the same platform of principles, but they deem it wiser for the moment not to admit us. While -we regret to differ from their judgment in this matter, we acquiesce in their determination, but we know that as we travel toward the same goal we will very soon find ourselves on the same broad road, (c,heers) and I hope that: before this ‘convention adjourns you will gend them your greeting, and inform them that yeur arms are opan, and that we are ready at all times to receive them, whether it be in the enclosure selected by them, or on the ogen ground chosen by us. (Prolonged cheers.) The liberal Republicans and liberal Demoerats look up to the same stars in the same sky above them, and in these stars it is wrntten that as there is now truth, there also shall be open urion between them. (Cheers.) And now, thanking you sincerely for the patience with which you have listened to me; I await the further pleasure of the convention. (Prolonged cheers.) :

¢ Influence of Dress on NMorals. .The influence of dress on morals: says Geo. P. Fox, the Beau Brummel of the nineteenth century, presents a theme for the pen of a philosopher; a merchant, a tailor, however experienced, can scarcely hope to do it justice. We will, however, venture to submit, that no civilized man is apt to commit a crime in a good suit of clothes, ‘An easy and graceful garment is incompatible with a deed of violence. The serenity produced by a perfect fitting suit puts one in good humor with all mankind. Arrayed in a fine and ele-~ gant costume, with the consummate polish of appearance which it is equally the duty of the pride of the conscientious artist tailor to impart, a man feels his responsibilities as a. citizen, is inspired with a love of order, becomes refined and elevated in his tastes, is filled with respect for' law, decorum and propriety, and finds in his own characier a guaranty against temptation, Indeed, out of the immense number of customers who have honored the author with their patronage, we do not, know of one who has ever been convicted of crime. Many we have seen raised by that influence to exalted ed positions. Not one has been brought before’ a court of justice ; not one but who sustains a fair and estimable character ag an American eitizen. /It is not evident that the secret of virtue is ofen found in the wardrobe-—that a good dress is a great preservative of good morals? e :

In Great Britain and Ireland the wealthiest and most independent farmers are those who occupy large farms of good grass land, and who fatten and gell annnally large numbers of cattle. This class of farmers are called graziers ; they keep very little of the land in tillage, do not winter large numbers of caftle, but buy two or three-year heifers and steers in the spring keep them on choice pasture during the summer and autumn, and sell before the animals begin to loose flesh late in the fall. The vast herds of Texas cattle are sometimes managed in a similar way, being purchased when in a low condition, and driven on the ranch and succulent prairie grass until they have become nearly fat. Farmers who have good grass land should devote at least a portion of it to fatting stock; goed three-year-old heifexs and steers, kept on a rich pastire for six months; would probably pay better than inferior tillage. The money would all - come together, and the cost of transportation, compared with that of cereals would be trifling, Every farmer should fatten all his young stock that are not required for the dairy or yoke. ' Sell~ ing stock of any kind before they are properly ' made up for the market is very bad mannagement and a great deal of money is lost by farmers every year.in this way.—Chatauqua Farmer,

David Crocket once visited a 'menagerie at Washington, and pausing a moment before a particularly hidieous monkey, exclaimed “What a resemblance to the Hon. Mr. ——!"

REUNION AND REFORM CONVENen e SR R LR . The convention called by the Cincinnati Reunion and Refom Liub, com osed. WM eral Democrats, convened in the ity of Cincionati on the first of May, and W called to order by Judge Caldwell, upon) whose motion Hon. J. B. Stallo (Republican, of Cincinnati), was elected temporary chairman. Judge Stallo was received with great entbusiasm,\agd ina neat and most eloquent address (published elsewhere in full) returned thanks for the houor conferred on him. - - The proceedings of Wednesday consisted mainly of the appointment of a coms mittee on permanent organization, and the delivery of brief speeches by a num! ber of delegates from the South and East.

THURSDAY’S PROCEEDINGS. The convention re-assembled at 11:30, and after a brief discussion, took' a recess until 3 o’clock. The committee on permanent organization then made the following report : ; : President—Rufus P. Ranncx,éﬁ@hio. ; Vice Presidents—Henry J. Spannhorst of Missouri, Frank I Reed ¢f Tennessee, B. Kittridge of New York, L; Green of Illinois, W. W. McCall of Florida, G. Bouck of Wisconsin, J. O. Thorpe of Massachusetts, W. Tilden of Ohio, and K. U. Haley of West Virginia. L - Becretaries—@G. Bruehl, J. P. Sandmeyer, and Gustav Tafel of Ohio; Charles Feinse, and Otto Pelser of Illinois, Judge Rufus P. Ranney, on taking the chair, made an extended speech, in which he defined what he understood to be the cbject of this movement. He .declared it was not to attack any man except as that ‘man stood in the way of truth and true principles of government. If it were a mere,_contest for office, merely to turn out one set of officers and put in another, he would not turn over his band in the ‘matter. The great danger now was centralization of power in the general government and the deprivation of the power of local self-government in the States. No existing party was able to stem the current. now setting towdrds centralization and corruption. ‘lt was treason to our consciences to remain at the tail of exist-ivngii political parties while the covntry's interests are at stake. Without referring to the whole catalogue of abuses now existing in the administration, he instanced the effort to swallow. up the genuine sovereignty of the States on pretext of a horror of secession. All the statesmen of the administration decried State sovereignty, and’ a celebrated minister, who comes from the pulpit to the rostrum3wheneve£ bis party gets in a tight place, admitted that the States have rights but no sovereignty. He thanked God that sovereignty resided in the peopleand not in either government. The people delegated certain ﬂswérs to the States and. certain powers to the general government, but reserved other powers to themselves. The great danger was cor: ruption—a thirst for power to gain gold. The longer the power the more certainty there was of a carcass on which foul birds from the four winds may settle. ~After the heavy expenditure of the war true statesmansbhip would have dictated economy; but. what had bcen done? By ‘heavy taxation they had reduced the national debt; but while paying $1 of the national debt the party in power had in. creased the national indebtedness $lO. The weight of debt had ruined the States of the South, These States had been sought since the war by foul birds from all parts of the country,and they had utterly bankrupted the governments. They had undertaken to usurp, not only from States in the South, but in the North came intelligence that legislators have been bought to do this or that. There was no department of the general, State, and municipal governments in which corruption did not exist. It bad even Invaded our courts. Was there not safficient occasion for honest men to come together and consult how best to stop it ? and that was all this organization proposed to do. It seemed that President Grant considered ue still under the rules of war, for we bave had elections under the bayonet in the South and in the North, He would not detract from the military fame of the President, but for that office one was needed who, while he was a soldier in war could be a citizen in peace. Such. men we have had—Washington, Jefferson, aud Harrison were such. Fancy Washington establishing a military family about him to feed and fatten at ‘the White House, and when that failed, send them like birds of passage to feed on the mercantile community of\a neighboring city ; or fancy one of ourearly Presidents fitting out a government steamer to “tote” his boy across the ocean under the guide of a general. But there was not only reckless expenditure of public money, there was positive corruption, ag in the custom-house. What was seen when an attempt was made to investigate that ease? Vituperation and abuse fell on all in the Senate who insisted on the expos--ure, a 8 well as on the brains of the republican press that took the same view. There was no hope for reform in the dom. inant party, nor was there hope in the Democratic party. Though it had had few spots in the national vineyard to cultivate, he submitted to his democratic’ friends, and it had cultivated thesespots. pretty well. The only hope was in the vigilance of honest men, ‘'determined to reg;» the benefits of a true and honést Fovernment. This determination involved action, intelligent, united vigilance, which was the price of all liberty. =~ After the conclusion’of Judge Ranney's address the following committee on reso--lutions was appointed: -

Florida—W. W. McCall. West Virginia—J, M. Phelps. : Wisconsin—Jag. Stark, Gabriel Bauch Illinois—Gen. H. Leib, Wm. Coggswell. - Ohio—Chas. Reemelin, B. W. Kitridge.

We are opposed’ to the employment of government patronage for party png)oses. We protest against the use of pablic offices to re- ; ward political friends or punish political ene-~ mies. We are 1n favor of the adoption of a thorough system of civil service reform, and " we demand a return to theearly practice under our government of ‘appointing men to office on the ground of their fitness only, and of continu q‘ }ing them there while they are honest and efcient.

4 That we affirm that no form of ‘taxation is just or wise which puts burdens upon_the people by means of duties intended to Increase the price of domestic products, and which are unoecessary for the purpose of revenue. We further affirm that gold and silver are the only sound and safe basis of currencies, We therefore demand 'a thorough revision and reform of the present tar‘ff, and s speedy refurn to a specie standard for the currency of the people. 5. That undue déyotion to party has al: ready greatly damaged the republican. party; and we now engage’ ourselves to discountenance, in every possible way, the despotism -of party organization and the abject submission of voters to the dictates of party peliticians, Standing pariies are. not less dangérouns to liberty than standing armies; s : The resolutions were received ‘with, great enthusiasm as they were read. This was especially true of the resolution touching the tariff, which was followed by clapping of hands and other demonstrations of applause. The last resolution, too, appeared particularly acceptable to the members of the convention. The resolutions were unani moqsly :_idt_)p_ted without debate, amid great enthusiasm, not a few members rising to their feet, The President of the convention, as soon as the applause had subsided, arose and said this wag the best series: of resolutions that had been adopted by any political convention in this country for twenty years.: s e Ak e

ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS.. Robert Christy, before the reading of the report of the committee, had offéred the following resolutions .which were. temporarily laid on the table. = They were now called up and read as follows: For the purpose of giving to the Renvion and Reform movement gresterefficacy, - ! Liesolved, That-a national Executive Committee be created by this Convention, composed of one person from each State and Territory of the Union, which Executive Committee shall have the customarypowers belonging tosuch a committee. : bR Resolved further, that in view of the fact that all the States and Territories are not represented in this Convention, said National Executive Commiite e is - empowered to coﬁes‘gond and. confer with persons in the States an \Te'rrigo-L ries now unrepresented, who areé in sympathy; with the Reunion and Reform movement, with: a view td the orzanization of Reunion and Reform associations in such unrepresented States and Territories, °. B ; TV Resolved further, That so many States and Territoriesas are represented inthis convention shall propose to this cdpvention the name of one person as a member of said National Executive Committee.: . - £ ¥ Resolved further, That said National Exec: utive Committee shall bave the power when' duly organized to call a National Convention in' the Reunion and Reform movement at such time and place asthey may determine, if in their judgment the same should be ‘necessary. These resolutions were read and promptly adopted, one by one, until the last one was reached. This resolution authorized the Execative. Committee to call 8 National Convention in certain contingencies. ~Loud discussion followed. =~ Judge Stallo and others' who were sanguine that Charles Francis Adams would receive the nomination for President by the Liberal Republican Convention, op‘posed the last resolution ; the- Missouri. delegation, however, insisted upon its adoption, which was finally agreed to. .

; AFTERNOON SESSION. & " At 12 o'clock the donvention took a re cess. After re-assembling the mews of the nomination of Horace Gredley was received. sl . - Judge, Stallo, in a bitter spéech, expressed his profound- disappointment in the action of the Liberal Convention,and -he was now satisfied that that party was lacking in two elements of success—honesty and conrage—and he'now moved to instruct the Executive Committee to. call a National Convention. © ' =~ M essrs Kattridge; Vickers, %:‘eﬁier, Gilmore and others- spoke in tii® ‘same strain.. The motion to instruct the ngtiomal committee to issue a call for a-new convention was, unanimously adopted. Judge Ranney is designated ss. chairman of the National Executive Commit: tee, and it was announced that the com: mittee would at an early day issue its call for a National Ccnvention.: - . .

At the October election. the repubffcan' candidate ‘was elected by -over 7,000 majority;. at the special election the returns elested Gray by sometbing over 800 masjority. Astonishing “as appeared this great change, Col. M¢Clare | stoutly maintained that the opposition to the Grant faction was greater'than the figures demonstrated. Accordingly steps were taken t 6 contest Gray’s election. The,S{euatefcon‘imittee instituted a thorough investigation, and elicited the fact that Col. McClure had reccived nearly 300 majority over *his competitor to whom tthe seat'had been awarded. - ‘During the" ;in‘v'estiga'tign' it was eléarly proved that" Grant's office-holders perpetrated 'these vile frauds. upon the ballot-hox, at the same timé exposing the tactics resorted - to by. their tools to change votes cast for McClure to ballots-in favor of Gray. Boconclusive were these evidences of frand that Gray-quietly left his seat in the Semn - ate and departed fot home, thus virtually ‘ack'nowled,gi’ng that McClure was honestly elected.” "Bhe Senate, as a matter ‘of course, awarded the seat to McClure, who has since -organized the anti-Grant eleJment into a solid phalanx. .

“Nor did the desperation of administration power end when an investigation was ordered. The evidence appalled the -community. It was proven from day to day that the Custom-house, the Post_office, the Navy yard, the arsenal, and the revenue offices had vowited forth their repeat - ~ers, their perjored election officers, their leaders of gangs of rounders, their sciedeed ballot-box stuffers, and: their expert forgers of returns. | Ope by one, by name “and official - position, they were pointed 7 out, by sworn testimony’that no effort was made to impeach, and circumstancially convicted of their crimes. The daily journals published and comment: ed 'on -the startling evidence, and no one of ordinary intelligence can " plead ignorance of ‘these fearful' wrongs org wrong doers..
