R e THURSDAY, DIABQH 20,1873, TR T AR R NN 7T SRR PR TST i RTlrer s Wirn the knowledge that we all have of Grant’s inordinate love for the almighty dollar, it was a very absurd idea for any one to expect that he would veto the bill raising his salary to $50,000 per annum. e e 4 A—eene e SoME of the prospective aspirants to congressional honors, in this District, think it rather a bold venture for Major Sayler to move into this county for the express purpose of being sent to Congress for a second term. . : ———— & A —e e THERE were those among tbe Republicans who imagined that President Grant would veto the “big steal” by which that gentleman Lecomes entitled to $50,000 per.year. Their disappointment seems to be extreme. « e ——— >A — BEN. ByTLER déclared in a recent "speech before the late Congress, that he was made by God and not by the newspapers: A lady in the audience equally irreverently remarked, “That's rough on the Almighty.” } :

- ‘THE cost of the Credit Mobilier and other investigations of fraud and corruption in the late Congresswill reach $120,000. The people are first plundered most villainously and then they must pay dearly for having the fact made known to them. : S eel 4 D—— JunGE LEAvVITT, until recently a United States District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio, died at Springfield,Ohio, last Saturday morning. His name became almost a household word in the year 1863, by the famous decision he rendered in the celebrated case against Clement L. Val?andigbam. : dqn contemporary of the Seymour Anteiger is mistaken in supposing that a two-thirds vote of the Legislature is re quired to pass a bill over the veto of the Governor. The veto power, in this State, practically amounts to nothing—a positive majority being sufficient to pass a bill over the Govérnor's objections, ettt B 4AR — e Rev. Dr. Huston, of Baltimore, chiarged witli the seduction of a Sundayschool schaldr attending Trinity Church, of which'he was pastor at the time, and grossly imn"‘;)ral conduct with other young girls, has been found guilty by a conference of Methodist Episcopal ministers before whom the case wag tried in accordance with the rules of that denomination, :

{ P e i IT HAVING, on several occasions, been stated in these columns (upon what was “deemed reliable authority) that Governor Hendricks considered the main features of the new temperance law unconstitutional, we regard it our duty to state upon excellent authority that the Governor, after-a thorough investigation, holds the act to be constitutionally valid, and that * he signed the bill in consideration of that fact. . : ] < BE—— e GRANT evidently believed that $25,000 a year for Lis services was tolerable good pay, else he would not have become a candidate for re election, He was re elected with the implied understanding that that . sum should be his salary, But before entering npon his second term he signs a bill doubling his salary,thus taking from the hard earnings of the people just double the sum be had agreed to serve them for. Inofficial circles such tricks may be considered quite smart, but from . our stand-point it is an outrageous swindle

Is there & man in this broad land whd believes that, if Horace ‘Greeley bad been elected to the Presidency and was still alive, that he would have signed the bill giving congressmen $3,000 back pay, and doubling the President’s salary ? We be lieve not ; and yet'the;people, who must tamely submit to this additional outrage, repudiated that good, pure, honest and upright. man and bestowed their support upon one who loves the almighty dollar better than any of the number that ever occupied the Presidential chair.

WE trust our friend Baker, of the Whitley Commercial, will take the suggestion kindly : that it is ot a very safe plan to fly to the rescue ot officials charg. ed with corrupt practices, unless conclusive proof of innocence be at hand. No greater endouragement can be given to corruption in pablic life than the practice of certain newspaper men who seek to screen political favorites trom being held to a rigid accountability for ther conduct. Ifevery paper would make ita rule to denounce fraud and bribery without ‘fear or favor, there would be less ground for lamenting over the degenerecy of public men.

It really looks now as though the South Bend Tribune would come out ahead in “the contest with its rival, the Register, for the championship of Mr. Colfax. The Tribune offers Colfax’s picture as a premium, publishes “official” copies of his speeches, receives private letters from his untiring pen, and mentions the ex-Vice President’s name in about every fifth - paragraph, All this tickles our sweet Smiler amazingly, and se the Register capnot quite stoop 8o low in sycophantic tail-wagging, the 7'ribune may sately be assumed to be the recognized organ of the fallen Smiler, : NoTwITHSTANDING the fact that a com- - mittee of investigation, appointed by the ‘Missouri Legislature to ascertain the truth or falsity of the charges that Louis V. Bogy bad used corrupt means to secure: his election as U. 8. Senator, fully exonera ted that gentleman, a document has been submitted to the Scnate at Washington alleging that Bogy is not quite the innocent person which he was represented to be by the committée, The Senate will now institute an investigation, and if it can be made to appear that Bogy did use money to secure the seat of Frank Blair, - we hope he will be kicked out of the Senate without ceremony. ' Democratic imitators of Pomeroy, Caldwell and Patter50n deserve a little extra punishment,

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The latest returns from the New Hamp ehire election materially change the char acter of the result as given in last week’s issue. It appears that the Republicans elected two of the three members of Congress—W. B. Small in the First District by about 200 majority and Austin F. Pike in the Second by 19 majority. The “vote for Governor is not yet officially asl certained, but stands about as follows: Straw, Rep., 30,736 ; Weston, Dem., 28, 254 ; Mason, Liberal, Rep., 639; Blackmer, Temperance, 938, The probabilities are that Straw is elected by the skin of his teeth ; if not, the republican Legislature will boost him up. The republicans bave three majority in the Senate and 40 in the House, i i It is astonishing that the: people ot New Hampsbire, after the startling revelations of the past three months, should allow ‘an opportunity to escape for manifesting a decided disapproval of the frauds perpetrated by the ruling party. We take this indifference as an indication of the peo ple's unwillingness to practically and emphatically condemn Credit Mobilier and Salary raising outrages, and must assume -that they still regard partisanship as paramount to patriotic duty. With the pub« lic mind 1n such a condition, little is to be hoped for in the immediate future.

Tue N. Y. World, in speaking of the New Hampshire election, again treats us to one of those familiar melodies that have so often assuaged our grief occasion. ed by the failure of our political brethren to achieve a decisive victory over: the enemy. It tells us—as it never failed to tell us at each connt durivg the past eight or ten years—that the democratic party stands “before the country in a prouder, more hopeful attitude than at any previous time within the last twenty years;” that; it “is of good avgury for the politics of;tixe ensuing four years,” and that it will “bear up and steer right onward.” Now, this sounds very well: so'-far,as it goeéi but somehow or other this once soothing melody seems to have lost its efficiency in cheering the hearts of even ‘the most unufaltering adherent to the “party of unextinguishable vitality.” The lusty crowing of the weaker cock, in escaping utter annibilation on his native dung-hill, sounds very well at long intervals, but when repeated with periodical regularity, we must confess the entertainment becomes slightly monotonous. And it is then that we lose. all admiration for that “prouder, more hopeful attitude;” that doubts of that “good augury” arise in our mind, and that a feeling of uncertainty creeps over us as to the next venture in “steering right onward.” We bave hitherto reposed the utmost confi dence in the sagacity of Dr. Marble, and even now adjudge him. among the most skillful of the profession; yet, we cannot divest ourself of the thought that a change might safely be introduced without great risk -

Fremont Explaius, : General John C. Fremont has written a letter to the New York papers in which he defends himself against the charges made in regard to bis connection with the negotiation in Paris of the bonds of the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railway Company. The chief points of this de-. fense are that the transactions in question did not occur while be was President of the road, but existed at least nine months before he assumed'thut position ; thatthe French courts have taken a kind ot snap judgment against him, and that whatever may have been the mistakes and misrepresentations committed in the matter, they originated in Paris,and %ere neither suggested by nor:known to General Fremont. “We sineerely hope the General will succeed in extricating himself from this annoying unpleasantness. He has his faults, 1t is true, but withal that it must be conceded that there 1s a big heart in his composition, and we cannot quite . believe that he is personally dishonest or corrupt. :

THE RASCALLY RAID which the late Congress made upon the public treasury; and in which members of both the old political parties participated, clearly dem~ onstrates the necessity ot a spontaneous movement on part of the people who disapprove all such mounstrous robberies. — As the vote on increasing the salary of Congressmen stands, neither party is in position to censure the other; the guilt rests equally upon representatives of both organizations. We feel like throwing a little extra “hot shot” into the ranks of the democratic offenders, there being less excuse for their conduct than for that of the Republicans,—in this, that the demo cratic party has uniformly denounced all such transactions, and for the further rea son that independent: voters will now have but little choice between parties re. presented by these execrable plunderers.

A CONFERENCE of leading Democrats and Liberal Republicans of this State was held at Indianapolis last Thursday to.comparé notes with reference to the political, situation. About one hundred representatives are said to have been in attendance, prominent among them being Gov. Hendricks, Tom Dowling, Cy. Allen, Geo. W. Julian, Morg. Weir, Judge Holman, Dr. Graham N, Fitch, Captain Mitchell, Simeon K. Wolfe, &. The propriety of continuing or turthering the Liberal movement was elaborately discussed, and the opinion generally“ concurred in that some steps for a thorough union of all men opposed to fraud, corruption, and centralization must be taken at an early day. - There can be no doubt of the necessity of such a consolidation, and the sooner that important matter receives attention, the better it -will be for all concerned.

THE RAILROAD WAR IN ILLINOIS, Bome of the railroad companies in lil- - not only refuse to obey the law regulating the rates of passenger fare, but have declared an aggressive warfare on the people who try to compel them to do so. - On the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis ” Railroad, the legal fare is three cents per mile, but the company refuse to carry passengers at that. Some persons recently traveling on one of its trains offered the legal fare, which was accepted, but none of them were carried farther than the distance paid for according to the established rates of the company. These - passengers, being ordered to leave the cars before reaching the point to which they were entitled to passage by law,; refused to do so, whereupon the train was delay - ed on a side track three hours, until the company could bring a force strong enough to eject them. And now the company has biought suits against these passengers, or some of them, for trespass, laying damages at ten thousand dollars in each case, the claim for damages being foun}déd on the detention of -the:train caused by the refusal of the passengers to get off the cars before arriving at the sta- . tion to which they bad paid full legal fare. OF course such action as,this on the part of a great portion of the people of Lllinois, leads to renewed efforts to curb the exactions of the monopolies, A new bill has been introduced in the Illinois Legislature which is intended to meet tke objectiops of the Supreme Court againgt the existing law relating to freight rates, and. which imposes scvere penalties for overcharges in passenger fares, or J-jun-: just discrimination in freights, making every agent, conductor, or employe of a railroad personally liable to punishment for.ascisting in the violation of any of its provisions, : ’

" Disappeintment of a Politician, His name is Nicholas_Filbeck and his residence Terre Haute. He is of Teutonic origin and a firm believer in moéern re: publicanism. ~ He abused Carl Schurz and otber Liberals, was active during last year's campaign in recruiting for the party of “grand moral ideas,” 'labored day and night for Grant, and in return was patted on the back by local politicians for his . unselfish devotion to a “great and glorious cause.” Through his almost superhuman exertions, as Monsieur Fabricius says, Vigo couniy was redeemed. Remembering his great sacrifices and the sweet words of praise, he concluded that the Terre Haute Post Office was Jjust the thing to compensate him for his la bors,” He accordingly communicated this beliet to intimate friends, who coincided and wisbed him “God speed.” An elec. tion was arranged to enable the “truly loil” to indicate fheir chdice, and Nic. came out ahead by about 800 majority,’ Packing this evidence of Lis popularity and sundry recommendations into his carpet bag, he went “down to Washington” to‘mteryiew Ulysses in person. Now, so far so good. But here the ‘pleasant features of our narrative cease. Nic learned that Congressman Hunter (who, again citing Monsieur Fabricius as our authority, could not have been elected without the powerful aid of Filbeck) -bad “set things up” for continuing 'the tenure of the present. incumbent, Mr. Burnett, who is either a relative or a very intimate friend of Gén. Hunter. - The long and short of the story is that Nic. utterly fail ed in his aspirations and returned to bis hearth a sadder, and we trust, a wiser man. We need scarcely add that he is ‘doubiy convinced of the truthfulness of that ancient adage : “Republics are ungrateful,” and that Monsicur Fabricius is as mad as a wet hen. _Ab uno disce omnes”

Liquor Dealers in Council.’ We notice from the Laporte Herald that the liquor dealers of Valparaiso, Plymouth, South Bend, Elkhart and other neighboring towns met at Laporte last Thursday. The object of the meeting, as appears ffom the publisbed proceedings, was to make arrangements for contesting the constitutionality of of the new Tem perance law, which has recently gone into effect. Resolutions were adopted affirming the Indianapolis resolutions, and pledging aid to the State Association, to which the Northern Indiana . Association was declared to be auxiliary. Four hun. dred dollars were raised on the spot, and a larger amcunt pledged by the delegates:

Wz inadvertently neglected, last week, to notice the enlargemént of the ‘South Bend Register to a ten-column paper. The Liegister (founded by Bchuyler Colfax) is a well conducted journal, contains a vast amount of local and general news, and goes through thick and thin for the republican party in general and tor Schuyler Colfax in particular. We do not, as a general thing, take a fancy to these large sheets, but in this case we are satisfied that Bro, Beal will manage to fill up the columns without causing his readers to become possessed -of ‘drowsiness and disgust. j LT

. BEVERAL democratic journals in the l south eastern part of the State are rather seyere in their denunciations of Gov. Hendricks for signing the temperance ‘bill.

v« IS IT°A BLACK CAT? The Lafayette Jouzaal publishes a corres pondence between Judge Pettit, of the Su. preme Court of Indiana,and Mr. A. Farl, President of the Lafayette, Muncie & Bloomington Railroad, which discloses some remarkable facts. The charge had been made public that this raiiroad had paid a large sum of money to procure an early end favorable decision from the Court. Judge Pettit addressed a letter to‘Mr. Earl agking for an explanation. Mr. Earl replied, designating the sums paid out by the company, among them beicg $4,000 for legal services in the Supreme Court while he was acting as Librarian of the Court, and on terms of the closest daily intimacy with the Judges Mr. Earl's letter also shows. that, of the total amount paid for services, $6,000 of it was contingent upon a fayvorable de - cision being rendered within {hirty days. The record in the case shows that such a decision was made within the kpecified time by Judge Buskirk, who is an intimate friend of the man Graham. While this does not argue, prima facie, corruption on the part of the Supreme Court, it certainly justifies the Lafayette papers in asking whether Supreme Courtofficials have unusual facilities for procuring such favors. o

Wife Murderer Hanged. _ - George Driver, who killed his wife on the morning of the 30th of last November, was executed in the county jail at Chicas go last Friday aftefioon. . He was convicted upon the testimony of the four young children of this unhappy couple, the murder being committed in teir presence. The particulars of that terrible affair are as follows: oy Mrs. Driver had obtained a divorce from her husband on the ground of drunkenness and congsequert extre¢me: cruelty. Subsequently Driver had boarded with his wite for some time, behaving himself very well, but finally relapsed/into his old habite, and Mrs. Driver, was compelled to forbid him the house. The night before the murder he “stopped at her house against her wishes. In the morning when she woke him up, she told him-: to leave the house and never to return, - He refused to go, and wanted to gét some money from her with which to biy whisky, and upon her refusing to comply with his re quect, deliberately drew a small pistol and shot her, the ball penetrating her left side and lodging near the spinal column, from the cffects of which she died after three days’ terrible suffering. By the consummation of this cold-blooded murder, 'four innocent children are thrown helpless upon the world and their future existence shadowed with a terrible disgrace.

'~ The Dawn,of Spring Weather., Perhaps we may safely say that the blessed spring is here at last. The indications of the etherenl adherent are un. mistakable, albeit they’ may.not be abso~ lutely pronounced. Gradvally the body of snow is shiripking in the streets, and the difficulties of travel have been very considerably ameliorated. The weatherwise predict another fall of snow during the present month, from which may the meterologieal man in Washington exert all his magic art to protect-us! The display of fragrant bulbous plants in the parlors is, and has been for sowue time, very beautiful. Those who are of sensitive constitution, recognize the breath of spring while she is yet afar off, and know that the scepter ot this cruel winter is departing from him. Is it necessary for us to say how savagely imperiovs - he has been for the last three months? Really the rigors had begun to be just a little tediods. But courage, friends! The worst is well-nigh over! Bright skies, balmy airs, the green turf, the gay par terre, the amiable beauties of nature are &t hand ; and it will be a pleasure worthy of the gods, if we have the gods’ patience fo wait, to wateh the changes and the pleasant prospect .of the growing year. It will be our own fault if we do not wax kinder and better and pleasanter of spirit as the skies deepen and the color comes back: to the face of nature. - -. '

Its success hus beenr great. It i 3 firmly estab. lished as one of the leading weeklies of the Union, with the largest circulation of any paperin the West. Its success may in no slight degree be attributed to its method of distributing premiums which is permanent with this paper, being held annually, » Its distribution last year gave general satisfaction. Their list of premiums is fine and secures to every subscriber for 1873 a premium either in cash or some one of the yaluable articles mention-~ ed in the list. *We cheerfully recommend the paper. Their plan of distributing premiums is a /notable part of their well couducted enterprise and our readers need bave no doubts as to their being fairly dealt with. The paper is a financial success. Its immense circulation enables its publishers to offer this valuable list:of premiums and to fully carry out their plan of distributing them. - : ‘Specimen copies cf the paper and premium list giving full particulars may-be had by addressing the Publishers, Chicago.

THE war between the farmers and railroads, in Illinois, is perfectly “red-hot.” The farmersare organizing in almost every township, to enforce the present law, and procure the passage of better ones, The courts geem to be doinag what they can for the railroads, by deciding laws unconsti= tutional on the most flimsy technicalities; but, as the farmers are much the most numeroug body, iij,th_e; can be brought to. act togethier they will finally triumph oer the corporations. Ty ,

. New hwhleuun Thereto, .The Legislature passed an act, which was approved by the Governor on the Bth day .of March, 1873, amending certain sections of the Schocl law of 1865. Thé changes which the amendment to section 33 make, are that the township Trustees of the several townships, instead of the county Commissioners, shall hereafter meet at the office of the county Auditor, of their respective counties on the first Monday in June, 1873, and bienniall theresfter, instead of triennially qppain{ a county Superintendent, instead of Ex“aminer, who will bLe required to file a bond with freehold sécurity, payable to the State of Indians, in the penal sum of $l,OOO, conditioned that he will discharge his duties according to law. The power of dismissal is still with the Commissioners. And the duties required of the Examiner shall hereafter. be performed by the Superintendent. The Trustees have power to fill vacancies. ‘ ~ Section 37 was so amended- as that the Superintendent will receive no fee for examination, ‘ = Section 39 was also amended, so that in all controversies, arising’ under the School law, the opinion of the county Superintendent must be sought in the first instance, from wiose decision an appeal will lie to the State Superintendent, provided that nothing in this act shall be construéd so as to change or abridge the jurisdiction of any court, in cases arising under the School law of this State, and the right of any person to bring suit in { any case arising under the School lawg, shall not be abridged by the provisions of this act. And provided further that city schools having a Superintendent employed by their Board may at the request of said board, be exempt from the general Superintendence authorized in this secL tion. - ‘Section 43 wae so amended as that the Su{mriutendent will receive $4 per day instead of $3. ; B 2 s The amendments in section 6 and 7 re: late to the duties of the countv Superintendent and are not of such general interest as {o require a synopsis here. - j Section 8 was so amended as' that the county Superintendent and the Trustees of the townships and the school Trustees of towns and cities, shall constitute a county board of Education, instead of the Trustees.. The Board is required to meet semi annually at the office of the county Superintendent, on the first days of May and September. The county Superintendent shall preside at the meetings of the Board. : . Section 9 was completely changed, and ‘now requires that at least one Saturday in each month, during which the public schools may be in progress, shall be devoted to township institutes, or model schools, for improvement of teachérs, and two Saturdays may be appropriated, at the discretion of the- township Trustees of any township ; such institutes shall be. presided over by a teacher or other person designated by the Trustee of the township. The Trustee shall specify in a - written contract with eagh teacher,: thet .such teacher shall attend the full session of each institute contemplated herein, or forfeit-one days wages for every days absence, unless such absence shall be oceasioned by sickness. . | e E—— . New Fee Bill. County and township officers are again provided. with a new fee bill. Their compeunsdtion is now made te depend wholly on fees for their several items of service, and all provisions for salaries are revoked. The new law is copied very closely from the old law in operation from 1855 to 1871. In the Clerk’s office the fees for some -items of service are increased and some diminished, but on the whole, it will not make any material differgnce from the old law. Administration matters are somewhat lower, but the marriage license fee is continued at two dollars, which will about make up the différence.. The Recorder’s fee for recording a deed is $1.25, which is an increase of 25 cents. T ' The Treasurer is paid by a percentageon collections, which in the aggregate will be a little higher than under the old law. The Auditor’s and Sheriff’s fees are not materially changed. The new law is, in fact, are-enactment of the old law, with some changes ‘cf a few items and, probably, greater specificness .of de - tail. : In the small counties it'will not providg an unreasonable compensation, but inthe larger counties it will hardly re lieve the complaints heretofore made of exorbitant incomes by county officers. A definiteness on the subject and the prevention of constructive fees, though, - will be sométhing for the ‘better.— Lagrange Standard. - :
