A Pensions for Rebels, : The Indiunapolis News, a-Liberal republican paper, pertinently remarks: “A Southern delegate to the Phifadelphia convention offered & resolution pledging pensions to'the rebels, their widows and orphans. This was received and referred without uny expression ot disapprobation, It this had been done in a democratic Leonvention, or at the Cincinnati convention, what a bowl would have been raised by all tlg;- administration papers, and how we should have heard it “repeated agnin and agnin throughout the campaign thnt the Southern debt was to be paid, «luvery re established, ete. And yet the tirst convention in which a man- dared to « ff-r such a resolution was the republican one pur excellence.” : e—Y & A—— - | A Voice from Maine. . The Hon. E. F.

In refer. ence to State polities, he says: - “The Democracy of Maine are a unit, go'far as I cin learn, in favor of the liberal reform ticketut Baltimore, If Greeley and Brown ure sndopted wt Baltimore, harmoniously, we shall see a perfect storm of enthusi. asm ; but if rejected, astorm of indignation from our people and a general colInpse of the party.” o : i et ¥ A — o : + " NATIONAL PRoGREss.” — The Great American Institite anpounces its forty. first ennual exl.ibitio; to be opened in, the city of New York, on the 4th of Se;? tember next.

; CREDIT TRADE. - - That the credit system, as it is called, Amposes a tax on labor but little less than that levied by liigh tariff ldws, is a fact gencrally admitted. The only query in tact is, why this system is pergiitted so generally to take the place of cash in buying and se{lﬁl ing, when the latter isso much better, safer, and above all, cheaper. But the credit plun of dealing, like most other systems founded on wrong theories, demonstrates inost forcibly its errors and evils in its results. Its practical workings, for the time, pféseut. very attractive appearances, but hke protection or tariffs, it i 8 only to be the more feared or guarded. Softly and quietly, as it were, are its dan gerous elements gutiering force to break upon its | uususpectiog vietim. ~ Aguin persons are apt to prefer that syst:m which promises the more ready and immediate advantages, thongh -temporary, to. that. in which the . ultimate gains or, advantages may far exceed the former, * but attended with slight draw~ backs at the nonce ; moreover, when losses or misfortuues are entailed bj this credit system upon its devoted patron, he too’ commonly misconceives the true cause «nd permits himself to be made itsire peated victim. [t should be ﬁw; effort of every one who earns his bread by his daily toil, to give lubor a tendency to approx. imate a standard ot independence co-ordi-nate with capital. Credit separates them and lowers the standard of labor. The antagonism between capital and labor, which is always a serious oppression of the poor or laboring man, becomes greater continually es the power of capital incresses and labor diminisbes. -We say, then, l¢t every iaborer, mechanic or pro. ducer, strive to become more independent of the power of capital; tor with him alone rests the means of stopping its oppressions and ravages. Not that capital in itself is less valuable or necessary than labor to the prosperity of a people, but the disproportions in-their influences, tl:e control of one over the other without restricted limits, is the wrong we desire to combat. In the cities, we just now. see efforts made in this direction ; but it isvery doubtful whether the means employed will ever prove successful in uccomplishing o worthy an object. Certain it ig, however, that while co operation in many fcrms is desirable, when it assumes the giarb of strikes, as with the trade: unions, failure will inevitably result. It may be with these trade organizations, and undoubtedly is, as with laborers all over the country, that their chief obsta cle to success in protecting their interests against the nggressions of cnbitul, is the credit system. ‘ :

We have said paying cash 1s safer -and ‘ clienper than credit. When the purchas er ceases to pay as he buys and adopts the i “trust”™ expedient, he’becomes in a meas: ure dependent upon the merchant or tiader,—a meninl in disgvise, The celler fixes his prices,—to these the tuyer on credit must accede. He cannot exercise thie free choice of buying at the cheapest house,or on the more reasonable terms offercd by another, for were he to do so,the | result would be loss of credit with former ; denlers, nud to hasten calls for payment of fimer purchases when payment was contemplated only when convenient with the buyer. Large billsare not so éasily paid as smaller ones. Indulgence by the creditor till pay dziy, (_)r‘ till alter barvest, or till by other means mowney is obtained without sacrifice of property, is of the ut most -importance; but buying of the chieapest dealer works an immediate for, feiture of this elaim for ‘indu'l.éence'. 3 By this credit system competition is. destroyed ;— the selier adds additional per-centage to compensate for the hazards incident to the system; and to secure payment, obligations bearing high rates of interest are given, resulting not unfre quently 10 compulsny sales of property at a sacrifice of half value by the debtor to his creditor. It is most true that “Le thut is in debt is a slave. 1f the debtor possesses but five hundred dollare and owes one huadred, he belongs one fifth to bis creditor. Indepengence is lost to/the extent of his indebtedness.

Better far for all, but especially for the working' cluss, were cash payments the rule instead of the exception. Better for the laborer to limit his purchases at the timwe by his present means of payment ; pay cash and save from one:fourth to ouethird from his labor; better for the producer to sell at moderate profits instead of bolding and dealing on trust at high prices till the price of his produce declines. Pay cash if possible, we would recom mend, asa stimulus to trade, to competition, to cheapness, and insure in a great measure the independence of labor to capital, Sl 5 |

- SCHURZ’'S ELOQUENT APPEAL. The position of Carl Schurz with regard to the candidacy of Horace Greeley has for some time been deemed doubtfal, owing to the fact that the elogquent Sena tor from | Missouri has not rushed into public print with a 8 pronunciamesto in favorof the Cauicinnati ticket. The whole country watched with intense anxiety for some utterance by whieh the position of Mr. Schurz might be conclusively defined. He bas scen fit.t3 remain silent, until a suitable moment presented itself to give expression to Lis views. At last—neither too late nor too early—that silence was broken. Schurz spoke last Friday, at the mecting of Revenue Reformers in New York, and in no unmistakable tone. We know our readers will be eager to read his utterances; Fence we give them as tull a synopsis of bis two- hour speech as we have been able to obtain thus far,

Senator Schurz, in the beginning of his speech, said that if anything like the earnestness, and elcquence, and energy which bad been shown by Mr. Bryant in his remarks, bad becn manifested by him at Cincinnati, it would have done great good. . It anything like the energy shown by the other gentlemen at this meeting, .or in getting it up, had been shown at Cincinnpati, the result would have been very different. If half the people who were Vice Presidents at the Steinway Hall meeting bad been present at Cincinnati, tbey would not bhave cause to meet here. It was a very essential thing in politics not only to say the right thing, but #o say it at the right time, and the time was past for any new utterances, It ‘was too late. Men must have bccome convinced, by the consultations here, if not before, that it was no longer possible to present any ticket, "with a chance of beativg Grant, except the Greeley ticket. He then went on to present the great considerations which moved bim with a sense of duty to suopport the Cincinnati ticket. If he were to consult merely his personal feelings, which he shared in om mon with others who had expressed them here—if he felt at liberty to do thaf, it might be different ; but he felt that great public considerations imposed a duty on him, and upon others, which they couid not neglect or disregard. There had been manifested throughout the South a dis—position toward a thorough, sincere, and permanent reconciliation of feeling thro’ the success of this movement. The hand of friendship and cordiality was out stretched by the men who had been fighting agninst us during the war. They wete prompted to this by the feeling that the liberal republican movement was for the enfrapcbiacment of their people and their relief from wn oppression no longer endarable, Any movement looking directly or indirectly to 'the election of Grant, to a continuance of that opposition, would be to strike '3uck and repel with insult those outstretchied hands. He, for one, under no circumstance, and for no consideration conld take any step looking directly or indirectly to a continuance of this administration and a repellin_g of this tendency toward reconciliation between the North and the South, He spoke next of the intensity of party despotism, which those only could urn. derstand who had been compelled to con front it in the Scnate and House. Appeal in vain to men who were known to report on certain reforms, but who. did not dare to-act upon their convictions because of that party despotism; a des potism which controlled committees, and which suppressed minority actions; which whitewnshed the most gross and oftensive misdeeds. That he could not conceive that any reform could possibly be aided or harbored so long as that degp: tism remain d unbroken ;- that the first necessity with the country was to break' that at once, as the first steps toward the accomplishment of any reform whatever. That it would become unmcasurably stronger if sustnined and indorsed by the people, as it would be on the re-elcction of President Grant an existing power., That this again seemed 'to him to impose upon every sincere reformer a .duty not to be avoided, and tkat, under uny circumstan ces, he couid not directly or indirectly contribute to the re election of the present administration, and to the continuance and strengthening of that party despotism which it was. the first necessary- to break up. She had advocated the nomination of a more conservative ticket. He bad a strong lcaning in the direction of sach a movement, but - felt that, at this time, with such public interests at stake, men must scek not personal ideas, but practical good, and the nearest practical good they could accomplish. 'General Schurz then argued at considerable length the. utter impossibility of presenting a new ticket with the least hopes. of success; that even at this meeting “it was plain it would, by & considerable majori. ty, declare against putting up a new tick. -et; that there was no possibility that any such ticket, even if put up unanimously by the meeting, could' be adopted at Bal. timore.” If some movement of this kind had been made immediately after the -Cincinnati nominations, it might have had some weight ; but it was of no use to try to stir molten iron after it gBt cold. He said that even two weeks ago he believed that be had deceived himself 1n supposing that any such movement was possible, but that it was very plain that it was not ~possible now. The Senator then pro~ceeded to laud the gentleman on the National ticket, and expressed the opinion that if Mr. Greeley waselected, as he will be by an overwhelming vote, he would select from all parties such' a Cabinet, and draw arouvd biw such men, as the nation would place entire and implicit confidence in, Horace Greeley will not be the President of a.section of the coun ,try, the creature of a cli(ﬂxee, the antoma ton of a cabal. He will be the President of the American people, one and indivisibla. He concluded by saving that since there would be no united action at the meeting, and that a lurge majority of those present were not dis to take any action looking toward a new ticket, he would euggest that the conference should adjourn sine die. ;

° |STATE POLITICS. ~ Four hundred colored votes darken the polls of Vigo county, and still the Radi~ cal maw is unsatisfied. = = The Connersville Ezaminer says: “There is no man on the ticket can make a better canvass than John B. Stoll.” - : The New York Tridune calls Hendricks the ablest and mqst unsullied statesman Indiana bas produced 8f late years. The Connersville Eraminer says: “A Liberal ticket, compesed of the best men in Fayette and Union counties, will be placed in the field after the Baltimore convention.”

Montgomery, of the Mishawaka Enter prise, 1s constrained to say: “We have no desire to ‘underrate the ticket, for it is made up of the best material in the By it is a strong ticket.” ' Says the Auburn Courier: “Maly Sprott, of this place, has written out twelve rea. sons why Greeley’ is fit for President They will appear next week. Thus they are coming one by one.” : The Evansville Courier inquires : “How can any man who is a consistent advocate of morality, education and religion vote for Leonidas Sexton against Washington C, DePauw? - Who will doit?®" - : ' The Huntington Herald says: “For Auditor of State; Mr. John B. Stoll, editor of the Ligonier BANNER, Teceived the nomimation.. This was a deserved compliment to a faithful laborer for the party.” The Fairview ‘(Fayette county) correspondent of the Connersville Ezaminer says: “The nofnivees of the recent State convention are endorsed by all the Democrats of‘this vicinity, and about one third of the Republicans.” -~ % i Speaking of the Democratic State ticket, the Lawrenceburg Register says: “The ticket is made up of the best men in the State, and‘that it will be elected by the largest majority ever given in Indiana, there is no reason to doubt.” - The Auburn Courier, ina well considered leading editorial, indicates a readi. ness to support Greeley and Brown. The Columbia City Post, which heretofore held an adverse view, also wheels into line for the honest farmer of Chappsqua. Briggs, of the Sullivan Democrat, puts this on record : “We are not much givén to bragging or predicting what our majorities are to be, .but we are confident the majority for.the democratic State ticket in Indiana, pext October, will not be less than 10,000.” - .

Gen. Tom Browne, the republican can—didate for Governor, is announced to speak at Waterlogen fthe 27th, Angola on the 28th, Lagrange on the 20th of June, at Kendallville on the Ist, and Columbia City on the 2d of July. All these meetings are to be held in the afternoon, speaking to commence at one o'clock. ‘The Indianapolis News of the 17th savs: “Hon. John R. Cravens, of Madison, formerly State Senator from Jefferson county, who was appointed Presidential Elector for the Third District by the Republi¢an State Convention, bas resigned that posi tion in order to support Greeley and Brown. Mr. Cravens is one of the gen tlemen Mr. Cumback tried "to bury and didsucceed in beating at the last election.” Judge Wilsen’s « rgan at | Connersville thinks the times are growing qucér when George W. Julian writes to a democratic convention and speaks of the “bead of a republican administration as a common enemy.” Whereupon the Brookville Dem ocrat retorts : “So will his friend Judge Wilson think times are auecr when the Liberal Democracy consigns him to private life in October next. Things are workling, and gneer as they may seem they will prove astounding realities.”

Forty Acres and a Hiule, “For a number of years,” says the Har risburg Patriot, “‘the pocr negrbcs of the South ‘have been duped by the carpetbaggers of voting their ticket under the .promise of ‘forty acres of land and a mule.’ In South Carolina and gther parts of the South there has been much dissatisfaction on the part of the negroes in consequence of the failure of the carpet-baggers to redeem their pledges. The negroes have waited impatiently, and have not seen the ear of a mule. ‘Tt is not difficult, however, for the carpet baggers to impose on their credulity by some silly story. At a negro mass. weeting,- in South Carolins, a scene occurred some time ago which will show the cool audacity with which the. negroes are treated by their white leaders. A car. pet-bagger who was running for an important office was haranguing the meeting vociferously on the subject of the great blessings that the radical party had con: ferred on them. In the midst of his speech he was interrupted by a darkey who seem ed more intelligent than the rest, and was acked, “How about dem forty acres and dat mule ?” The orator paused a moment and then replied: “Yes, my friend, the “mules are ready for you, and are in Au “gusta now. You would have received “them before this,ﬁ but the Democrats, who “‘have possession of all the railroads, ‘“would not forward them to you. .As ¥soon as I get into office I will take care “that you get the mules. As for the forty “acres of land, that lies all ready for you “too. The land is surveyed, and every “one of you gets forty acres. The name “of each f you is marked upon the sur‘‘vey, and it would have all been divided “among you, but the d—d Democrats stole “the survey from the surveyor, so that we “can't tell any more whom the land be*longs to,” The explauation was perfcctly ssatisfactory, the ‘cgrpet-bsgg;x; was elected by a/large majority, and is growing rich on the sweat and blood of the tax payers.” : s

THE following are choice extracts from the old Know-Nothing speeches of Henry Wilson, in Massachusetts, in 1854, We don’t think past records will'be of any account in this election, but as a matter of history we give these excerpts: “The time has comwe when. the uniform of the State militia should no longer be disgraced by being scen on the back of a Catholic Irishman or Infidel Dutchman.” “By the light of these burning shantjes the Teuton and Celt may read the certain doom that will overtaké them in the attempt to compete with the native born American for political supremacy on this continent.” :

Or pAE German pdi)ern in this conntry, thirty-foar (Republican) support Greeley and Brown, and eight are ofpposed. Qf the democratic papers, thirty-eight are for Greeley and Brown, three opposed, and three not yet decided, This isp pretty fair indication a 8 to the German senti. ment of the United States. '

o‘onal.mmxam.nolmfmns. . Dauring the past few weeks several of the Indiana Congressioral Districts have made their nominations for Representa tives in the lower branch of t}le national iegiﬂﬂt.m : il . In the First District the Republicans have nominited William Heilman, a German, extensively engaged in the manufacturing business. Heilman w{ a member. of the late Legislature, is at p;csent a member of the Evansville city council, and bas always taken an active part in politics. —The Democrats have renominated the Hon. Wm. E.Niblack who bag represented that District with entire satisfaction to the people, during the past fourteen years, and who will doubtless be re elected. His majority in 1870 was 2250. . In the Second District the Republicans ‘have nominated Dr. Voyles, Postmaster of New Albahy. The democuti}nominee is Simeon K. Wolfe, a promine it lawyer of New Albany. - Wolfe has a comfortable race, the democratic majority in the “Sec—ond” being sbout 6,000. | For the Third District the iepublicans bave brought out a lawyer from Columbus, named William H. Herod, who will be “snowed under” by Judge Holman to the tune of about 2,000. Holman is sure to be rencminated by the Democrats. In the Fourth District both candidates of two years.ago have again been placed in the field—Judge David S. Gooding by the Democrats, and Hon, Jeremiah M. Wilson by the Re‘publicans'.i Gooding, who was fairly elected two y Bg)7, but was cheated out of his seat, ' elected by a bandsome majority thi s In the Fifth (Indianapolis) District'the Republicans have renominated Gen. John Coburn, Several excellent gentlemen are named on the democratic side. . Coburn’s majority wasonly 416, which'can be overcome without difficulty if our men do their duty. , fod -In the Sixth District the Republicaas have chosen as their standard bearer Gen. Morton C. Hudter. It Voorhees consents to run, hé will receive the nomination. ‘The probabilities now are -tbat he will accept. e

- The Seventh(Lafayette)District will be hotly contested. Gen. Mahlorﬂ;!D. Manson, who was elécted by 393 mnjori{ty two years ago, bas been renominated by 'the Democracy. The republican candidate is Judge Thomas J. Cason, a strong man. .: In the Eigath District the present incumbent, Hon. James N. 'l'y:"ler, has been renominated. His msjority two years ago was 1964. The Dupocrats and Liberals expect to overcome this next Qctober. ‘No nomivation has us yet been made by the lacter, ; o * For the Ninth District the irrepressible John Pet,er’Cl_euver Shanks has been renominated by the Republicans. Who his competitor will be, is to be determined some time in July. = ‘ Tenth District—Republican nominee, Mojor Sayler, of Huntington [county. Eleventh District—Gen.

The Democracy in presenting Mr. Hendricks, have the proud consciousness of knowing that in all the elements of profound statesmanship and great person.. al wealth, he has no superior in all the States of the Union. = His gbilities, and the purities of his motives| and action, challenge the admiration of] his most ac tive political opponents. » ' The same disparity exists between the candidates for Lieutenant™ Governor. Mr. Sexton, the republican candidate, is a local politician ot some repute, but whose personal habits are such that they cannot be commended by all men. The demo cratic nominee, Mr. DePauw; is one .of the solid men of the State. He has never been a politician or an office seeker ; yet his fame is not confined to his own locality or State, but is'known through: out the country. His administrative abilities are unexcelled, and bis liberality and generosity are without a counterpart. When. the two parties are réviewed together, it will not be difficalt for the unprcjudiced voter to decide which is the superior man for the place. And the general superiority of the democratic ticket over the republican, mdy be notic’ ed to the end of the ticket. ng: only is it the superior in all that consfitutes inherent strength, but for the most part is composed of the best workers in the State. Kerr, Williams, and Stoll will be a tower of strength in the campaign; being men of unsurpassed ability and the most unflagging industry. Mr. Stoll in: dicated, in’ his short speech before the State convention, the course he wiil pur sue, whien he said that if wd find time, and had the inclinatiol 0 years ago, when he was a defeated aspirant for the position to which. he had been nominated, to canvass such portions of the State as it was deemed advisable, if was hardly necessary to say that in the pgesent campaign hie would use his Lbest efforts to meet all reasonable demands upon him for service during the campaign upon which we have entered." . The hearty ‘endorsement which the ticket has received in all parts of the State augurs well for its success at the polls in October. 'Whatever differences: of opinion may exist among Democrats as to the propriety of the course pursued by the State convention on the presidential question, or what is proper for the Baltimore convention to do, will not af* fect the question of our active, zealous support of tue State ticket. This State will be the most closely contested of any in the Union. The dynasty at Washing ton appreciate the fact that bere will be the battle-ground, which may decide the contest in November ; and therefore, we may expect to confront the whole power %f the administration in this contest. Being armed with.the invincible power of right, and with-a full reliange in the ability and the integrity of -urfstandard bearers in this campaign, let every op ponent of this “unparalleled administration” enter into the contest with that zeal, earnestness and effectiveness that shall insure for us-a full and complete victory. .

Governor Hendricks., - Says the Madison Courier of Saturday, June 156th: “If the Democrats succeed in electing Hendricks and DePauw, it seems to be well understood that Hendricks is to go to the United States Senate, and ‘DePauw to fill the Gubernatorial chair—that isto say, after the oath of office to maintain the Constitution of Indiana inviolate, Mr. Hendricks, under favorable circumstances, will violate #, and before the act Mr. DePauw consents to it” = This statement of the Courier, we have the anthority for saying, is without: found ation. © Mr. Hendricks will be elected Governor and will fill out bis term as such officer, all Radical reports to the contrary notwithstanding.—New Albany Ledger.

The Singer works at South Bend have adopted a novel and effective method o? geasoning walnut lamber, by which lumber is perfectly seasoned. without chick or warp, in fifty-five hours. Phere -are a number of kilns constructed, each ninety feet long and fifteen to.seventeen and a half feet wide. The cars are run into the kilns loaded with lumber, and so placed that each car rests on a coil of steam pipe. The kiln is then tightly closed, the only ventilation being by means of pipes running from the roof to within a few inches of the floor, thus excluding cold air. When all is ready the steam is let into the kiln. It penetrates the wood and forces out.all moisture,— When moisture ceases to gather on any substance held over the ventilator the wood is pronounced seasoned.

On.that occasion the Sisters’ Hospital in Terrd Haute,lately erested by the Bisters of Providence in that oity, will be dedicated with formal and impressive ceremonies.

When but a few months, old the ‘wee thing’ began to imitater’frthe“ crowing of the banta, and now whenever a cock crows about the premises. the little fellow will rush to the door,as if to take his chance with the rest of the roosters, then throws his head back, and ‘with arms akimbo to re?resent wings, flaps them with all thefim-~ portance of a banta rooster, and the ‘shrill scream sent forth from his throat is g 0 near that of thg\iiiminntwe chicken epoken of, that the difference can hardly be distinguished. The father often punishes the child to break him of this singular trait, but allto-no purpose, the crowing continues. the same as before. In accounting for this peculiarity the mother states that previous t: the birth of her little boy, they had a cou-~ ple of beligerent antagonistic banta’ roosters ruoning about in the house--yard, which were in a continual strife for the mastery, and she used to take much ‘interest in their battles which .were.fierce and bloody for the size of the combatants,and as soon as ejtber showed signs of flagging the other would follow him up and flup his wings and crow lustily. at short intervals.—, | The child is gaidsto be more than ugually full of the “Old Nick” in every way and on the whole i 3 a curious specimen of the genus homo, but the banta an-= | tics are more -singular than all. —Elkhart Union. ‘ b ———— | The Noble DePauw.
