LIGONIER, IND., THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1573.

NORTHERN INDIANA ITENMS. e De e ey THE next annual convention of OddFellows of Nerthern Indiana ap& Southern Michigan will be beld at Laporte Avprik 26th. - - G LA ——etl e | PRJFIT IN LUMBER.~ Seventeen black walout trees on a farm pear Liberty Mills, Wabash county, were sold, the other day, for eight hundred dollars. \ ———— S P ! THIRTY FIVE persons united themselves with the Lutheran church at Columbia City Sunday before last. The protracted meeting of that denomination closed an the 11th.” m—tecll - s Tre South Bend Union says: “A’ terrible outiage was attempted upon the person of 414 year old girl by a brute in buman form right 1n the business portion of our city, some two or thrqe ‘weeks ago. Nasrrests bave been made.”, : et @ e 4 A ccorping to the Republican, many of the old citizens of Steuben county, “with the hope in view of bettering their condition and leaving for their children' comfortable homes, are contemplating seeking bomes in the great West, the most seeming to prefer the State of Kansas, which has already a fair quota of Indiana’s sons.”

. From the Lagrange Independent we learn that Uncle John Prough, of Eden township, Lagrange county, is one of a family of ten children, all of ‘whom are “alive and well"—the youngest beirg 45 and the oldest 72 years of age. He isalso the futher of ten children—the oldest 87 and the youngest 15 years of agé—sll living and enjoying good health.

WE CoNcUß.—Says the Steuben Re publican : “2he Logislatixre has at last fixed the priceof legal advertising. The rates as they are now fixed by law are about the game a 8 we have been charging for the last four or five years ; with some classes of legal advertising our prices haye not been as high as we are now auﬁmrized to charge by this law. We are satisfied with it, and believe the press genmerally will bedls L ‘

ScARLET FEVER is prevailing at Fre- ,' mont, Steuben county, at present. The ' Republican admonishes its readers t'hat‘j the “greatest care should be taken to pre- | vent thie spread of this terribly fatal epi- . demic. The disease is very contagious, and the poisonous. germs will retamn the vitality of communicating the disease for a number of years. Clothingand bedding used-in the sick room should be thoroughly cleansed.” L —_———— Tne Warsaw Indianian, in referring to the new temperance law, expresses itself in tavor of its enforcement, but is “fearful that the law is so crudely worded, so ungrammatically constructed: in fact, that it will fail to stand the test to which it will be subjected before the Supreme Court. It will be rathera joke on a legislature that counts its services worth yﬁgt dollars a day, each,ita law on whith so much time has been spent should fail, becausc they have not so worded it as to stand the test spoken of.” , == e i THE new County Schcol Superintendency bill does away with the office of School examiner from and after the first of June, and provides for the election of “a County Supetintendent by the Township } Trustees, who shall constitute & school board in each county, to meet twice a year. The Superintendent 18 charged with the duty of supervising the schools in his county, and the law requires him to visit “each school personally at least once a year. This is an important measure, and is regarded with much favor by tte friends of .education. ! .

e ‘THE EDITOR of the Auburn Courier is after the old fogies of that place with a sharp stick. In speaking of their illiberality and their opposition to all public enterprises, be exclaims: “What we want is about two thousand more poor men, those who work hard and earn their living by the sweat of their brow, that wholesouled, liberal class that are the main supporters of all public enterprises. When we get a few of these moss covered fogies out of our way, and their places filled by this class, then there will be no troable to raise a subscription, when the public good demands it.” True, every word.

Tue Auburn Courier has a very sensible article on the absurgity of carrying politics into purely local mnttiiers, and exposes the evil effects of that short sighted policy in these words: “The miserable condition of our streets, draii;s, crossings; and sidewalks was never more apparent than now. We do not think it is the fault of the Marshal, but our town officers are certainly responsible to some extent. The fact is the condition ot things in our town organization is alarming, because there is no order or official diséiplive in any part of it. There has been no report made of receipts and expenditores of moneys for several years. Our citizens had better look into this matter, and see how things stand to day.” o

OF THE GENTLEMAN who represented DeKalb county in the late Legislature, our contemporary of the Auburn Courier speaks in these complimentary terms:— “Mr. Shutt has filled the position with honor to bimself and with fidelity to his constituents. His vote:is recorded on the right side of all measures, and though he didn’t bloviate much- during the session, he was always there discharging his duty like an honest 'man, When the bill to increase the pay of Representatives from,J five to eight dcllars a day came up be voted squarely against it,. When & motion was made to vote the Clerks and Sergeant at-arms and pages one hundred dollars extra besides their regular wages, he opposed it, characterized it as an outrage, Jbut notwithstanding thjs a.Republican Legislature voted the people’s money tothem, 'witbout a bit of trouble. Take it all i all and this “the best Legislature the State ever saw,” is about the greatest ‘failureon record” . =

Slﬁall-pox at Salem crossing—and a grentg?cal of drunkenness. 1 —_———.———— - SaM WINTER reports that all the sa loons of Huntington “are closed at the virtuois hour of 9 o'clock, by the clock in the steeple, and the occupation of the little girl, who ¢ings “Father, dear father comebome with me now,” is clean gone. The old man is in bed and asleep.”

~ ANONYMOUS LETTERS have g 0 excited the wgath,of certain F't. Wayners - that & vigilance committee for the arrestand exposure of all parfies engaged in writing those scandalous epistles, has been form ed in Fort Wayne. , The committee is made up of regular old dogs of war who care nothing for blood and desolation, and would rather die than have-a single stain upon their untarnished characters. They are genuine sons of thunder; so Sam. Winter says, ’ ;

SENATOR SARNIGIHAUSEN,,OD his return from Indianopolis, on Tuesday of last week, was honored with a public reception, in gppreciation of his course on the liquor question. -In response to the calls for bim, the Senator appeared and .addressed the crowd. He said he had conversations with the best and ablest lawvers in the State of Indiana, and they say that this law is pot constitutional and that it will be decided so by the Supreme Court, e

A BAD ACCIDENT is reported by last week’s Huntington™ Democrat : “A son of Mr. Jobn Ruggles, aged': about nine years, while returning from Lancaster, where he had gone to have a pair of shoes repaired, was strack by a falling tree which had been partly cut and partly sawed, and almost, instantly killed. It appears that in going home he had gone out of the usual road, and ' was taking a short cut through the woods. The tree fallivg without any noise, gave him no warning of its descent,and he was crushed beneath it and killed.” kg

TuE BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD, — Wm. C.

SIcENESs AT MISHAWAEA.—The Enterprise of that place says:—“There has been an uousual amount of sickness in .this vicinity for the past few months, and a larger number of deaths than ever be tore occurred during the’ same {length of time we believe. A majority of the cases partake of the nature of cerebro-spinal meningitis, and which has become almost epidemic in its nature. Our physicians are very successful in treating this terrible disease, when the number of patients are -considered and the baffling nature of the discase. A genuine, severe case of spotted fever is so rapid in its course, that _but little time is left for medicine to have any effect, and the patient is frequently beyond aid before the nature ofthe disease 13 distinguished and medical assistance procured. Physicians seem to be of different opinions concerning its cause, and the remediés used in its cure, but its cause is probably due to some miasmatic or climatic influence, as has been the large smount of fever and ague with which the whole northern portion of thie State and western Michigan has been affliced for the past few years. =We trust Lt 1 will lenve us with. 1 brewkiog up of winter” -

' THE new law abolishing the Court of Common Pleas meets with ‘general favor from the people. It is an important step in advance toward sumplifying our judi cial system. It will also lessen the ex pense of.the Courts.— Columbia City Post.; ;

FARMERs are invited to consider these two items clipped from the Lagrange Independent : : When corn is worth thirty cts. a bush. el, it takes 25,000 bushels to pay a Congressman for one year'’s work—and he don’t work haif the time either. Farmers, smoke that. 2 o ‘ Twenty-six bushels of corn will pay one of our noble legislators for one day’s labor. ' ;

. THE new Fee Bill fixes the rates of legal advertising at $1.25 persquare of 250 ems. for the first insertion, and 75 cents per square for each additional insertion. Thie is abcut the rates charged heretofore in most of the neighboring counties, but more than the usual rates in this county. A square of 250 ems, in the type usually used in'this paper for legal advertising, makes about ten lines.— Lagrange Standard. : et e $ Ux~DER the new Fee Bill, the offices in the Court House, in respect to emoluments, will rank about thus: e 1. Treasurer. ta o 2. Auditor. ; 3. Sheriff, : 4. Recorder. : : ’ 5. Clerk. . : : Between the two last there will be probably:little difference. In counties where there is much litigation, the Clerk’s office would ramnk among the first.—Lagrange Starndard. 7 .

Tug Kendallville Standard, (Rep.) an. nounces that of those members of the In diana Legislature who voted to inerease their pay from $5 to §8 per day 27 were Republicans and 51 Democrats. The inconsistency of the statement is apparent when it is known that there are but 46 Democratic mémbers in the house.— Winamac Demoerat. _ Abroed it may be necessary to correct such reckless assertions, but here at home, where the reliability of the Standard is properly understood, a refutation of its statements is never required. - —_— r—— Axy the Attorneys at the Lagrange bar signed a petition last week, asking the Governor to appoint Andrew Ellison, Esq., J ud%a for Elkhart and Lagrange counties. At Goshen, we understand, attorneys ‘Woaod,Mitchell and Wilson are candidates also for the place. Mr. Eliison being much the, senior of either of them, will not unlikely receive the appointment.— Lagrange Standard. The Standard is mistaken in naming Captain Mitchell aga candidate for the Judgeship. He did not seek the position. The appointment of Mr. Osborn disposes of the remainder of the above paragraph.

THE retiring Judge of this Circuit is thus handsomely complimented by the Lagrange Standard : . Judge Tousley’s services as Judge in the courte in this county closed last week. A public servant who has fajthfully and hosnestly tried to do his duty is deserving of, at least, the favorable remembrance of those he hag served. It could hardly be expected that the decisions of a Judge would please everybody, and the Judge did not sueeeed in go doing, but we hardly think there are many, if any, in the coun. ty, who can accord to others a difference of opinion without impeaching their bonor, but that can award the Judge with their confidence in his afbility and earnest endeavor to do justly in his.official capacity.. ;

THE ADVOCATES of temperanee held a meeting at Angola cn the 10th inst. A number of earnest speeches were delivered and the following preamble and rescla tions unanimously adopted : WaEREAS, The increase of the population and prosperity of our now growing town depends largely upon the good order, peace and sobriety -of its citizeus, and upon those who come here for purposes of ‘business and trade; and, ! WageREAS, The traffic in, and the re—tailing of.intoxicating drinks in our midst s one of the most fruitful sources of dis* order in our streets, thus subordinating the best interests of society ; therefore, Resolved, Ist, That we request those engaged in the liquor traffic to comply. strictly with the present temperance law of this State.’ : 24, That we request the officers of the law, whose business it is, to see that the above law referred to be thoroughly and vigorously enforced. =

That Big Steal. : ’ The Laporte Herald, one of the ablest | and certainly. the most independent Re publican newspaper in Northern Indiana, l administers a well- merited castigation to Packard, Shanks, Williams and Voor- l hees for voting themselves $7,500 salary per annum—hnot only for the two years i to come, which, it trusts, wiil be as long asany of them will be permitted to re- { main in Congress, but for the two years | past. The Herald illustrates the extrava- | gance of this salary by a familiar compar- | ison. Corn, it says, in Northern Indiana is worth 8334 cents per bushel. So each of the four:Congressmen wants for his valuable services at our National Capatol (where he is on duty about six months in twelve) the value of 24,000 bushels of eorn per annum ; as much corn as grows on 500 rich, well-tilled acres; enough corn to fill forty rods of ordinary rail pens, and fatten 2,500 hogs for the mar - ket. Of the aforesaid members, Shanks, Republican, and Voorhees, Democrat," were defeated for re-election last October, and Packard and Williams, Republicans, were re-clected, but under such eircum stances that neither of them considers bis return to Congress in 1874 for a moment. Hence, Shanks and Voorhees, being both - politically dead and stinking in the nostrils of honest men, were easily bribed to vote for the increase of salary by applying i lo the forty second Congress because that enabled them to pocket $5,000 additional compensation without an equivalent; and Packard and Williams knowing, too, that they stood not the ghost of a chance in 1874, voted for the increase because it would enable them to: pocket $lO,OOO of the people’s money. We are glad, in view of Voorhees' and Shanks’ rascality, that the people of their Districts defeated them for Congress last October and that they are now remanded back to private life, The people of the United States will repudiate all the Congréssmen who voted themselves $7,500 com.. _pensation / per annum-—making $5,000 more than they bad-contracted for. This is a clear case rf robbery. Farmers! you who bear a great portion ot this bur - den, and who are compelled to raise 24, ‘[ 000 bushele of corn to pay one Congressman for six mongh.s.._qf easy labor, must take this matter in hand. ,'}hrmv “party” : tothm‘;nétmm remedy.

Meantime the ‘Liberals’ represent the popular prot:est against partisan idiocy—they have real strehght. as protest ants against the popery of “parties,.and it 1s not unlikely that they may excrta decisive influence in the spring election.”

A SEVERE commentary upon the con--duct of Mr. Colfax and the other members'of Congress inyolved in the Credit Mobilier matter was farnished by the evidence of ex-Senator Fowler, of Tennessce.’ Just after Mr. Colfax had .concluded his latest explanation, that he had received $4,000 from his stranger friend, Nesbitt, | Mr. Fowler testified ‘that Oakes Ames had offered him the same amount of Cred~ it Mobilier stock that had been given to Colfax; but, from 'Am_'es‘-éxplgn’é.t-ion of what was expected of those x‘n,émi}erg of Congress receiving the stock, he concluded ‘that his [private interests would be placed in’ opposition to- his public duties,” and, therefore, he could not honestly accept the stock. ~This was the.view faken by Speaker Blaine, ex Senator Bayard, Mr. Boutwell, and Senator Logan, but seems never to have_ occrred to Mr. Col- | fax of Mr. Kalley. “-v-n oo

A .timely point is well put by: The Christian Register. It -says: “‘America needs purity in her high plac s, and incorruptible men in stations of honor and trust, more than -she needs additional highways for her commerce.” Such an opinion as this we suppose must be pers fectly inexplicable to Mr. Ames, if we may judge him by the tone of his pathetic defense. His notion seems to have. been—to be still—that nothing can possi--bly be wrong which either directly or in~ directly promotes the building of Tuil-" ways, and that to bribe a member of Congress into supporting any road which Mr, Oakes Ames thinks to be necessary, is. a highly meritorious action. There is ne reasoning with such public men ; the. only course is to keep them a 8 much as. possible out of public service, - . - |
