. 1 From the Western Life-Boat. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Representative Henry C. Staniey. Mr. Stanley is one of those rugged, en:. durable men, whose incessant toil has reduced a wilderness to fruitful fields, and berbarism to an advancéd civilization. He has a motive temperament ;. 1s a good calculator ; 18 seldom'deceived in his estimate of men ; is prudent, reasonable and honorable in his intercourse- wifh the world. He is a firm friend ; a forgiving foe ; has no hobby; works for his constit uents as he would for himselt, and deals out the public funds as though they were his own. We need more law makers of this stamp as custodians of public nterests. ' H. C. Stanley is a native of Clair mont county, Ohio, where he was born January 22d, 1818. He 'is of EnglishGerman ancestty. His father was a native of North Carolina; moved to Ohio when about twenty years old, where he married, in 1811, a Miss Mary Cuppy, a native of Kentucky., In 1821 they moved to Indi ana; settled in Union covnty. The moth~ er died in 1839 and the father in 1857. Young Stanley worked on a farm during ‘his minority, had but meagre school ad vantages—getting his education at the handles of a plow and holding on to the nib of the cythe and snath. lln 1839 he married Miss ‘Hannah Hunt; she died in 1841, leaving one child, Aaron, now mar ried, living on a farm and in comfortable circumstances. For seven years Mr. Stan ley worked at various oczcupations, farming, trading and with a threshing machine. Ir 1847 he mearried Miss Sophronia Beeson, & native of Indiana. They have a. family of seven children—five boys and. two girls—the eldest twenty-four and the youngest ten years, and dll at home. After bis second marriage, he moved into the woods, boughta farm ot 180 acres, to which he has added about 440 acres more—making a farm of about 600 acres, all in oue body, 400 acres being improved and with good buildings. All' this is the result of tweunty-five ycars’ labor, showing that industry always has its re ward. oy : ‘ Politically, he s a Democrat, bat liberal in his affiliation. He was elected to the Legislature in 1858, when he served through two sessions. 'ln 1870 he was again elected as Representative, and in 1872 was a third time elected as a Democratic Representative from a repuktlican couuty, which speaks well for his popu. larity among the people. Previous to his election to the Legislature, he served as township trustee and county commission’ er. He hes never been an agpirant for office, and accepted the several positions to which be was elected, only after pressing importunities. He served faithfully as Representative; worked for the best interest of the people, and has left a record untarnished by official corruption.

Senator Wiliiam Bunyan. Mr. Bunyan is a medium sized manb, with black bair and eyes. His body is compact and muscular; his brain dense and firm. With a motive temperament be is caleulated to make a shrewd and successful business man. He ijs exact in his financial transactions and not prodigal with his means. He is firm, determined, reasonable and reliable. : : William Bunyan is a native of Saratoga county, New York, where he was. born Oct. 20, 1833. He is of Scotch ancestry, his grandfather having emigrated to this country not far from the beginning of the present century, and settled in Saratoga county, N. Y., where his father was born 1n 1803. His mother was a native of Scotland and was brought to this country when-but five years of age. After ber ‘marriage they continued to reside in the same caunty, where they raised a family of four children, two boys and fwo girls William was “brought up” on a farm, on which he was occapied until twenty five years old—his-edueation being limited to the commnn schools of the country. In 1854 he emigrated westward and settled in Kendallville, Ind.,, where he married Miss Cornelia R. Hudson in 1870. - Since bis 25th year he has followed merchandising at Kendallville, in company with his brother, Jas. R. Bunyan, and since 1849 the store has not been.closed on a business day and there has been no change of firm, Politically, he holds to the Republican faith, but has held no elective office until in the fall of 1872, when he was elected Stats Senator from the counties of Noble and Lagrange. He made a good working member.and has left a record of which he. bas no reason to be ashamed. = .

o OUR IMPERIAL RULER. If evidence were lacking to convince. the impartial observer of publicevents in this country that we are living uuder a despotic government, and that the repub licanism of the Grant adminietration is the merest sham, the refusal of the Attor ney General ot the United States to Rpermit any on¢ to examine the memodrial up on which the President pardoned Brown, the Philadelphia repeater, ought to farnish sufficient proof. During the last ses sion of Congress Hon. 8, J. Randall, representative in Congress from the First district of this State, introduced a resolution in the House requesting the President to lay before that body the papers filed in this case in the office of the Attorney General: After repeated efforts to pass his resolution, Mr. Randall, during the last days of the session, succeeded in ‘getting it adopted. No attention, how - “ever, was paid to the resolution by the President. It had been given cut that distinguished citizens of Philadelphia bad signed the petition praying the pardon of ‘Brown, and the people of that city especially and the public generally were anxious to know the names of those peti tioners. !The ‘‘distinguished ' citizens” of Philadelphia, the Bories, the Drexels, and others of that ilk, denied the soft impeach-. ;sment.-and declared on their honor: that they:did not sign.the petition and that if their autographs were appended to it they were flat %orgeries.' The natural result was that people concluded that the President had been imposed upou in the mat—ter by the desperados of the ring, who would not hesitate to forge the names of even such distinguished citizens as Drexel, Borie and Childs to rescue their pal from punisbment. But if the President was the victim of-a fraud practised by those scoundrels, it is his duty to make the fact public and to cause the perpetrators of the fraud to be brought to justic. Such ought to be his course, for the sake of his own vindication, as well as on behalf of ‘the public interest. On the contrary he ‘has clhiosen to conceal the facts connected ¢ with the application for this pardon and to treat the request of Congress with con tempt. The other day Mr. Randall called on the Attorney General in person and requested permission to examine the memorial upon which the pardon was granted. He was informed by that functiona - ry that the resolution which passed the house calling upon the President to lay the papers in the case before that body, had not been received at the Department of Justice, and that he (the Attorney General) had no knowledge of it. In reply to, Mr. Randall's requegt for permission to examine the papers, the At’torne_y General said that he would not allow Mr. Randall or any other person to ezgu.mine'thé records of the Pardon Bureau, adding that in his opinion, the pardoning power of the President under the Ccnstitution is “a personal prerogative, not. subject to be called in question eitber by Congress ~or the penple.” . Under this ruling of the ) Attorney General pardons may Le issued to the vilest offenders against the laws, upon forged: memorials and affidavits, | while the parties whose names are used to obtain the pardon remain id blissful ignorance of the use that has been made of their reputation and influence. But, then, the ‘‘personal prerogative” of the Piresident must be maintained at every bazard. Prying Congressmen and inquisitiwe citizens must be kept at .bay. The sanctum sanctorum of the Pardon Bureau must not be invdded by any curious in quirer into the secrets of the sacred closet. 1t ie sajd, however, that the Attorney General exhibited marked politeness in | his cgnversation with Mr. Randall. Let us Yikankful. Personal government in | the@i@fted States, as represented by Mr. i Attorney General Williams, is polite, if not eondescending.

An Auburn Brick Block in Ruins. . [From the Auburn Courier, April 10.] Our church going people had scarcely prsed the new brick block on Seventh ghreet, last Sabbath evening, on their way te their various residences, when a sullen roar fell upon the air like the sound of a mighty wind, or the escape of steaw from amengine. ‘There waslittle effort required to @ivine the cause. All day;and the day before, the inner foundation wall of Snyder’s building, just completed, gave indi ‘cations of its giving away and though no one pm'?besied that the full would, occur S 0 soon, mevertheless, it was regarded as in a most dangerous condition. The building adjoining the Ensley block, the first division of which contained a cellar, the west wall of which next to the Snyder building, is the one that gave way. Some think that the frost and water which the wall and cellar eontained were the chief causes of the fall, but there is no doubt that it was mainly owing to the miserable foundation wall which had been pitch ed together, without regard to mechanism or safety. Stores perbaps. four inches thick and two feet wide were placed in the wall side ways, snd & poor article of cement depended upon to hold them together. The best brick work in the world would not hold goud over such a wall. People erecting such buildings shonld read the parable of the sandy foundation and that built upon a rock, if they don’t know more about it than was evidenced dn this case. 1t was only last week that we spoke of the ‘fine establishment and. many facilities possessed of Mr. Sayder in the implement trade, and now we are made to chronicle not only the destructionp of his fine edifice, but also a large amount of machinery which the building contaived. Reapers, mowers, plows,. hay rakes, and other articles were crushed down to almost’ total destruction with the fall. Messrs. Martin & Rasely had occupied the second story front but a few days. Every convenience and facility was added, and great pains taken to have their establishment in good shape. The whol2 stock of about $3,000, went down with a crash.

Taking Care of his own Family, ‘ - (Boston Post.) ; The President’s jumping his own son over the bead of a gallant and favorite young officer in order to land him ona soft place near the headquarters of the Lieutenant General excites dissatisfaction elsewhere than 1n the army. It is admit ted to be arbitrary, presumptudus and un: precedented. It happens to be ome of those things which critics cannot find the least streak of humor in, to relieve its grimly selfish determination. A dull scholar at the Military Academy; a graduate rather by favor than desert; sent on an extended tour of the European capitals in the company of the General of the Army ; idling away a purposeless vacation at the sea shore and about the White House ; and instead of being ordered to regular service on the frontier, billetted on the staff of Sheridan, where he dis~ places one; who has earned the rank he enjoyed by hovorable wounds in the hardest service—-a second lieutenant thrusting aside a lientenant colonel, and the better man sent down again to the rank from which he had risen by sheer gallantry—this is the chart of military advancement that is hung up in the office of the Presgeuzs,«for the benefit of bis own flesh and

Our Lors.—The new assessment law, as we remarked several weeks ago, requires that all out-lots and parcels of land adjacent to village plats, be at once surveyed, platted and recorded. The object of the law is to 8o describe such premises that they may be kept.streight on the tax du plicate. The present arrangement is productive of the greatest confusion. In pur suacce of the new law, Auditor Mclntyre has notified owners of such premises to have the necessary surveying, etc., done within thirty days, or the county surveyor.will be ordered to attend to it, and his fees will hg assessed against the property. in next year's taxes. It will no doubt be cheaper for owners to club together and get this work done, than to allow it to run until the county surveyor does it.— Waterloa Press. : S Suit for $200,000. o The Attorney General of the State, Jamee C.

' - Bona Fide Indebtedness. .= .

It matters not whether anything is due him’ or not, he must place on rezord, under, oath, all his bena fide indebtedness, forthwithwhen the Assessor calls, or pay the penalty.” Another peculiarity is that the stocks of national and other banks are taxed {wice, while all corporatjons, except national banks, are taxed four times.
