In order to escape the disgrace of expulsion, Alexander Caldwell resigned, his scat as U. S. Senator from Kansas. This endsithe great investigation. Lol e e Mlss AnNA DixinsoN ‘will lecture at Goshen tosmorrow (Friday) evening, and not Saturday, as stated last. week. The subject is; “Joan de Arc.” i Pl A Rev.

The effort is-spoken of in the highest terms and attracted a large audience. ol —— e — ] * CoMPULSORY-EDUCATION is still discussed in the Mishawak;& Hnterprise by Hon. Geo. C.

Tue public will be gratified to learn that the Western Union Telegraph Company contemplates a large and uniform reduction in rates all over the country at ‘an’early day. It is contemplated to have ten different rates for the entire territory embraced by its wires, and to place the tariff so Jow that nobody can justly complainof the expeusiveness of telegraphy. Ao g Our esteemed contemporary of -the Winamac Democrat seems to have a poor opinion of Nebraska. Justhear him: “A gentleman wants to trade us Nebraska land for the Democrat office. We wouldn’t give a $1 Continental Railroad scrip for pretty much the whole State of Nebraska.” Now, Doc., that’s rough on Nebraska, and doesn’t quite “jibe” A with that speech of yours at Lincoln, @ |

MARVELOUS aB-it may appear, the editors of the Infer Ocean have risen sufﬁciéntly above party to give expression to a correct sentiment in these words : “Legislation obtained by fraud must be pronounced invalid by the courts. Till this is done bribery and corruption will stalk in legislative lobbies. Repeal all acts obtained by fraud, and you have taken a firm step to discountenance -and discourage legislative corruption.” But pray, gentlemen, how much will then be left of radical legislation ? ;

Ir there is a rogue in the country who ‘understands how to “put on” a good face, it is Ben, Butler. Hislatest is this: One of Butler’s constituents having written to him complaining of heavy taxes, and con demning the salary steal, the General has made a computation trom which he dis.~eovers that the $5,000 which he received cost on an average each taxpayer of the countr§ three cents. He therefore inclosed to his correspendent that sum, and announcee his willingness to return to any one else who does not feel able to pay the “‘increased taxes on account of the salary ‘grab, the same amount, ~ -

Fr. WAYNE bas furnished a case for a test of the new temperancelaw. The par ticulars are given per telegram under dateof March 23d, to wit:—“A woman nearly lost her life here this morning at the hands of her drunken husband, Ed. Conway, who is employed in the Pittsburg shops. He came home and demanded whisky, which his wife refused to give him. Becoming enraged, he seized an iron poker and pounded her on the head in a shocking manner, knocking out several teeth and leaving some very uneightly wounds. This is is the first aggrava ted violation of the new liquor law, and an interesting trial is expected.”

Parson Brownlow. ¢ This erratic old gentleman receives the following notice at the hands of a con - temporary: “In’ one respect Parson Brownlow is the most remarkable man of the country. He wont die. It is becoming doubtful whether he ever will.— He hangs on, tenacious as a bull dog. = As long as he stood on hie pins he hurled defiance to his foes, coarting their fury,— Four years ago be was carried on his bed to the Senate, shaking in every limb with “"a sort of nervous palsy, and supposed. to eon the verge of death. But he now Kpatm a 8 chairman of the Committee on * Revolutionary Claims. The parson may die sometime, but he will fill his six years [in the Senate. That can be relied on.”

: HON. M. C. KERR. i We take great pleasure in transferring to our ediforial columns the remarks of a contemporary upon the retirement from active duty of one of Indiana’s abiest and putest statesmen: The article fitly expresses the sentiment of all who have a proper.appreciation of sterling worthina public servant, and we believe is endorsed by many who, upon purely partisan considerations, gave their votes to that little demagogue, Billy Williams, in the contest of last year. 'We quote from an able journal published at Mr. Kerr's home: " To-day the term of service, for the present, of Hon. M. C. Kerr expires, and we know that it is a source of regret on the part of thousands of his fellow citizens in bis own District in Indiana, and throughout the United States. That he has been 'a faithful and industrious Representative of the interests of his immedjate constituents, as well as of the entire country, we presume will not be questioned by friend ‘or foe. While the members of the Re: publican party have opposed him upon purely political grounds, they have accorded to him honesty of purpose ahd ex traordinary ability, and he will retire from his Congressional career, com: manding the respect and esteem of his entire constituency. As a representative of the Democratic sentiment of the country, he is deserving of more than the usual thanks of his par ty. He has been the earnest advocate of sound Democracy, and has upon all occagions appeared as the champion of the ' rights of the people in all sections. He bas opposéd all echemes of the monopolists and endeavored to secure the prosperity of the entire country. His earnest advocacy ot all measures for the relief of the people of the Southern States, believ ing as be did, that their restoration to all the rights of citizens was the surest way to lay broad end <deep foundations -of that fraternity which should exist in a common family. His views upon all questions of a public character were broad and comprehensive, and he never permit: ted himself to lose sight of those who confinded in bim. No taint has attached to him by lending his influence to the national capital, and he will return to his constituents admired for his consistent and manly course, while representing them in the halls of our National Legislature, o Surely our citizens owe it to one who returns to them with so much credit to their choice and Honor to himself, some public recognition of his past services. When a representativeso conducts himself a 8 to command the esteem of all parties, there should be some recognition ot that worth, and in a manner that should serve a 8 an example. We trust that our citizens will take some steps to give public expression to their satisfaction at the upright conduct of a faithful public servant.—2N. A. Ledger Standard, Mar. 4.

The Farmers Heard From. ‘Senator Windom, of Minnesota, last week introduced a resolution to author: ize the special committee, of which he is chairman, to prosecute its inquiries .so as to ascertain the actual condition of affairs with regard to transportation from' the West. No action has yet been taken on the resolution, =~ Washington specials state that it it is passed, the Committee will spend a large portion of the summer recess in visiting the. principal commercial centres in the interior, as well as at the seaboard, and taking evidence in relation to the questions before it. Only one meeting of the Committee has been held as yet, and the members can hardly be said to know their own minds on the subject. They recognize the fact, however, that it is the coming political as, well as commercial question in the West, and the facts mast be got together at once whether the Government shall take any action or not. *lf the Committee is not authorized to carry on its investigations this summer, Senator Windom says he shall proceed with the work himsélf, as he believes the exigency is too great for delay. Some cheaper method for transporting the products of the 'West to the seaboard must be furnished soon, or the people of the West will abandon all other political questions, and unite upon some policy which will furnish them relief.

An Anecdote andits Application, At the Colfax ovation in Sonth Bend, the ex-Vice President produced a letter from President Grant expressing the utmost confidence in the honesty, the integrity and faithful devotion to public duty, of the retired statesman. This interposition in behalf of the prostrate Col tax reminds a contemporary that 1t bears @ striking resemblance to the aid and comfort rendered to the man overtaken in liquor and lying helpless in the gutter by a friend suffering under the same infliction, whose assistance he implored in moving terms. “Help me up,” he cried, “lend a hand and get me cut of this disgraceful predicament. I can almost get up myself, and a slight pull will make e all right.” bt : “My dear fellow,” was the reply, “I would lift you up with all the pleasure in life, if it was in my power. But you see I have the greatest difficulty in maintaining an upright position myself. But if I can’t give you any effectual aid I will do the next best thing. I will lie down in the gutter beside you. That is'an act of disinterested friendship. Helping you up would be a simple act of duty.”

-~ Put This and That Together. How difficult it is to please all, may be deduced from aperusal of the following. We quote first from that uncempromising radical publication, the Waterloo Press : When the new judiciary act was passed, it was given out, apparently upon authority, that Gov. Hendricks would follow the example of Gov. Baker, and ignore politics in making judicial appointments.— | Most of the appointments have now been made, and we would like to hear of an: appointee who did not vote the democraticticket. We do not allude to this matter in a fault finding way. . Any re- - publican who made application for one of these positions, supposing that Hendricks could be anything elsé but a partisan, de: serves to, be snubbed most effectually. Now read the following from the Winamac Democrat : ! To say that our citizens were disappointed over the appointment of E. Hammond, a republican, by Governor Hendricks as Judge in this Judicial district, hardly ex pressess the feeling everywhere manifested when the pews of the appointment was received. The Democrats of this county and every member of the legal profession at this bar, had urged upon our townsman George Burson, Esq., to present a petition to the Governor for the appoint~ ment, and besides these, Mr. Burson had letters from the leading men in the legal profession in Cass county, recommending the Governor to make appointment. Under these circumstances, it was very natural toexpect that the appointment would have been given to our. fellow citizen, and that much disappointment would result if it were otherwise. What influences were brought to bear upon the Governor that he would appoint Mr. Hammond over Mr. Burson, we cannot divine. = Mr. Hammond is a bitter.and determined politician, and 1f we mistake not, was one of the delegates to the' Philadelphia Grant Convention last year, * o x We confess that the three hundred majority which this county gave to Mr. Hendricks, is. a slight affair, but three hundred warm personal and political friends are much better than the sawne number of uncompromising enemies. -

: The New Game Law, | The following is the act to prevent hunting and shooting on enclosed lands without the consent of the owner or occupant, passed by the General® Assembly, end approved March 7th, 1873: ° ' SEcTION ¥, Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State .of Indiana, That any person or persons who shall be guilty of hunting with a dog or dogs, or hunting or shooting with any kind of firearm or fire arms, on enclosed lands, without the consent of the owner or occupant. thereof shall be guilfy of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than five ncr more than fifty dollars. Provided that no prosecution shall be commenced under the provisions of thisact unless the same shali be commenced by the owner or accupant of the premises entercd upon. SEc. 2. All prosecutions for violation of the provisions of this act must be commenced within one year froni the day ot committing the offense. The law, having no emergency clause, will not be in force for.gome time yet. . The following is the second section of the law for the protection of birds: SectioN 2. It shall be unlawfuvl for any. person to kill or injure, or to pursue with intent to do so, any turtle~dove, meadow lark, robin, mocking-bird, wren, sparrow, phrush, swallow, oriole, yeliow hammer, “or cat'bird, or to wantonly destroy or dis. turb the eggs or young of the birds pro tected in this act. t & ¢ fine for the violation of the above section shall not be less than one nor more’ than ten dollars. This contains an emer. gency clause and is in force. S e The Ravages of the Small-¥ox. A letter from Cannelton, in this State, under date of March 20th, gives some interesting details of the tefrible experience ‘which that town *has redently bad with the small pox. The disease broke out there in the early part of last January, and has run a course of extraardinary vi olence and fatality, a majority of the families in the place having lost one or more members, and some having been almost oblitefated. The disease is believed to have reached there in a bundle of clothing sent from Louisville, and in less than two weeks after the first caseit wasepi demic in all parts of the town. Ags the disease grew worse, the authorities took vigorous measures to stop it. A board of health was appointed, rigid quarantine measures ware enforced, nurses employed at public expense, etc. But the' disease spread till out of a population of 2.500, 150 were attacked, about one-third of the ceses proving fatal. ~ During the height of the disease business was almost entirely suspended, and the panic-stricken _people talked of nothing but the pestilence. It has now nearly disappeared, only about a dozen cases existing at pres. ent.

: A Word to the Wise, X It is reported that a great many persons throughout the State are using means to evade the stamp duty required on bank checks, both py using the form of a receipt and by ante dating.them. The lat. ter metbod was doubtless suggested by the clauee in the law which abolishes the tax on all financial paper not ‘payable on sight or demand. Under this provision, if a check is made payable one or more days after the day it is actually made, no stamp is required to be affixed ' to it, but this is said to be frequently perverted by the maker of the check which is to be paid on the day it is wade ante-dating two or three days. This is held to be a direct viclation of the law, and renders the maker and acceptor each liable toa forfeit of $5O for every cffense. The officials are using extra precautions to ferret out and punish all who are practicing these illegalities, and therefore for the' sake of prudence and safety, if not of probity, this class should be careﬁﬁ to strictly adhere to the law in their transactions.

THE Fisa Law.—We understand that gonme persons in this part of the State are laboring under: the impression that, the fish law enacted in 1871, has been repealed. This is an crror. The law-of Indiana still provides— That no person shall take any fish with a net, seine, gun, or trap of any kind, or ‘set net, weir, or pot, in any of the lakes, ponds, rivers, and small streams in this State, except as bereinafter provided. No person shall take any fish with a gig or spear during the months of March, April, May, November, and December. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to a fine for each fish'so taken; not lees 'than five nor more than twenty five dollars: Provided That the penalty in this section shal] not be enforced against catching small minnows for bait with seines not over fifteen feet in length, or the legitimate fishing with hook;, line, and pole, or taking fish out in the Ohio river, e G

JAsoN B. BrowN has been rewarded for his perfidy to the democratic party. President Grant has nominated him as Secretary of Wyoming Territory.

A Good Word for Middiemen. - Considering that middlemen in all varieties of trade are popularly execrated, a good word for this class may be looked | upon as a notable exception, Farmers' meetings in Illinois have lately adopted._ resolutions hostile to agents or middlemen, and declaring an intentionto deal directly with consumers. This calls out the fol« lowing from the Register, of Clinton, 111. : Prominent among the men who act Bsa medium between seller and buyer are the stock dealer and merchant. Few of these ‘men ever giow ricli in the business. They generally buy at.a close margin on the market, and their gaios are generally made by a rise in the market after their stock and grain are bought ; bat they also often lose by a fall in the market. They take large risks for small profits. There are few stock or grain dealers in the West who have made fair wages for their time | and capital for the last six months. The grain men have for months had most of their capital locked up in grain, and their only hope for even coming out whole is in a rise in the market after navigation opens. These men, as a ruale, are fair in their dealings, and make for the-farmera market at home for his produce. The agricultural implement dealers have come in for a larger share of execration from the farmers than any other class. They are accused of having charged prices for their goods tnat were out of all proportion to the cogt and capital invested. That they ask a large advance on the cost of their ‘gpods, we know; but even they haye some excuse. Their 'gnods are generally sold -on long time, and scattered all over the country. The tarmer buys a plow with which to break the ground upon which to raise corn, and promises to pey for it when that corn 'is harvested. The dealer must not only lay out of his money that length of time, but he often runs the risk of the crop proving a success: Doing a large credit business, he must _have enough profits to make good the losses be is certain to sustain by the fail ure of some of his customers-to pay. Men who ask for creédit must pay for it in some shape. Many a farmer bas been supplied by these dealers with all the implements necessary to plant and harvest his crop, thus supplying him with capital with which to conduct his business, and then waited upon him until his ¢rop was sold for their pay. Can it be expected that they will do this for a small ‘profit? The cash buyer always has, and always will have, a great advantage over the one who buys on credit. If the farmers will pay cash for the implements, we believe they will find the profits of the ‘agricultural impliment dealer to be reasonable, If they will form co opemative societies, and go security ‘one for another, we believe they can purchase implements on credit as cheaply from the dealer s from the man“ufacturer. : Cu |;— e — i Compensating Preachers. i The Indianian and a few other journals Bpeak in sneering terms of the “Blocher bill” introduced in the late Legislatore and intended to protect Ministers of the Gospel against the imposition frequently practiced upon them by miserly persons, The bill as irtroduced may not have been exdctly “the thing,” bat we are firm in the conviction that there should be some pro tection for poorly compensated clergymen when called upon to deliver funeral germons: We are sustained in this belief by the following extract from & communication in the Snllivan Democrat : - ‘ Ngw wby not? The Merchant wants five ﬁfents for a lead pencil. The Doctdr wants and gets so uch a mile, say eight miles $7 is charged, be must have bis price and no one must grumble. So in all professions, now why not in the clerical profession? A minister not long since received a telegram from a fifteen thousand dollar man saying “my wife is dead, come.” The minister went, it took three days to go, preach the funeral and return, his car fare was $3.75. When all was over and in taking his leave he was handed $2, ‘and invited to come and “preach”: for us again and bring your wife with youl— Such as the above 1s a fair illustration of what some, if Bot many, good and needy ministers have to bYear with. There is.one good result that will spring from the bill, it prevents clergymen from being imposed upon Yet no good clergyman would expect to charge for a funeral germon pronounced for a neighbor, where it did net cost anything in traveling, in order to do the work, but we think if the minister is needy that the friends ought to pay bim something, if nothing more than a barrel of flour or a ham ot meat. :

: The Bounty Law,. Under the provisions of the act of Congress' last passed, the heirs ot deceased soldiers of the War of 1812, who have died since the filing of their claime for pensions under the act of Feb. 14, 1871, are entitled to money on account of the pension as follows: _First, the widow ; if there be no widow, then tbhe person who bore the expenses of the last illness and burial of the deceased soldier, as much as will rcimburse him or her for the outlay thus incurred; widows married to the soldiers prior to the treaty of peace of the War of 1812 are entitled ic their own right to the full pension.

Confession to the Double Murder at Paradise, 111, MarTooN, 11, March 26.— William L, Langston, a son of the old lady who, with the little girl, Mary -Easter, living with her, was found murdered in her bed recently, near Paradize, in this county, hag confessed to killing them both, and ac cuses his wife egan accessory. /Thus the deep mystery that bas shrouded this affair is partly cleared away, and the guilty ones will suffer the penalty. Langston is ‘in jall awaiting ‘trial, and the only motive he assigns is ‘the instigation and persuasion of his wife, who never had. pleasant feelings toward the old lady. In addition to this is the possibility that Langston and hts' wife were somewhat over anxious to: get possession of theold lady’s property. There is a very strong feeling against the murderer in the neighborhiood where the tragedy occurred, and had he not been removed by the officers he would probably bave received ‘very Faminary Justide, '* L ° W L dnd o e - —.» va 7 . o h 3k - OUR “beautiful snow” can’t Jast long. -
