IN REPLY to the question: “If the court finds our new temperance law unconstitutional in ‘part, will such finding invalidate the remainder - of the law?” the Indianapolis Journal says: “No. The law may -be held constitutional in some of its provisions and unconstitutional in others. But if one or more of the important sec: tions are leld unconstitutional, the whole law will be erippled to such an extent as to be practically useless.”

Oakes Ames only left $2,000 to his married daughter, but a bonus of $20,000 is to be paid for every grand child. The family ought to have a fair income. Their motto should be “By industry we thrive.,” | ' In view of the fact that it has become quite “unfashionable” in Massacliusetts to add to the native population, this wholesome provision in M.

W. FLEMING, Esq., has sold his interest in the Ft. Wayne Sentinel to Messrs. Riley & N eff, of Winchester, Ind. In his valedictory, Mr. Fleming is quite severe in his denunciations of Judge James W.

“THE CONVENTION OF GOVERNORS,” which was recently held in the city of Atlanta, Ga., seems to have been attended by many who do not enjoy the distinction of governing sovereign '!?‘tates. At least such is the inference pon reading in the proceedings that 147 votes were cast on one question before that honorable body. The talk was chiefly about transportation—¢the great question of the age,” as the Goyernors called if. The building of several canals was recommended as the only practical means of securing cheap transportation. The deliberations of the Convention were closed With a grand ball, at which our own Gover-

nor Hendricks danced with. Mis, Goy Brown, of Tennessee.

THE MANNER in which Henry Wilson’s nomination for Viee President was effected, has just come to light.— The Nortlr Adams (Mass.) Transeript, a staid Republican newspaper, asserts that one Tinker, Internal Revenue Collector, attended the Phila. Convention, although he.was not a delegate, and then and there with filthy lucre did purchase the necessary votes to nominate the Hon, Henry Wilson for the Viece-Presidency, According to the Z'ranscript, soon after the Tinker clique arrived in Philadelphia, they discovered that Mr. Colfax had a maJority of the delegates, and that unlegs something extraordinary was done Massachusetts would not be honored with a place on the ticket. Tinker found a Southern delegation of car-pet-baggers ready to séll and he bought them, and “with his: own hands paid over the cash;” and the Hon. Henry Wilson was nominated with great enthusiasm. It is not charged that Mr. ‘Wilson knew anything about the busgz::a, as he was in Washington at the{ ime, a 5 ; 4

THE PROPER REMEDY,

Mr. J. P. Prickett, of Benton, writes as follows to the Goshen Z'imes :

The minds of the Western people are terribly agitated just now in consequence of the extortion of railroad companies in the transportation of agricultural products to an Eastern market. That abuses of this nature exist, we have no reason to doubt, but we do think that the remedies proposed by some journalists, who profess to have the interests of the people at heart, are, in a measure, unwise and not calculated to bring about the desired results. As long as the people of the Great West engage almost exclusively, as they do,in agricultural pursuits, depending upon the East for their manufactured articles, they will be at the mercy. of transportation companies, and will in one way or- another be compelled to submit to the extortionate rates demanded. It appears to us that the:only effectual method for the Western people to become independent of these railroad companies, is for them to encourage the building up of home manufactories, thus bringing the producer and consumer in close proximity to each other. Itis incomprehensible to us how the doctrine of Free Trade is:going to alleviate the sufferings of the people, or place themn in a position where they can be independent of railroad pmonopolies. A diversified industry is what the people of the West want, and until they arrive at this coneclusion and act in this direction, they will be at the merey of those who tramnsport the products of their farms to the consumers at the East. ,

We infer from the above that Mr. Prickett is‘in a great measure inspired l»y: the arguments of Congressman (Pig-iron) Kelley, who in the year 1868 said “if .the people of the “far northwest do not take heed, and “Dby diversifying their industry con“vert their raw materials into 'more “compact productions, the day is not “three years distant when their crops *“will waste in the fields for the want “of a market to which they will pay “the cost of transportation.””

' The ideas thus advanced by both Mi. Prickett and the chief advocate of “protection” in Congress are admirably met, or controverted; by a prominent journal of Pennsylvania, which; says the people of the Western States choose to follow agrieultural pursuits because the natural advantages of the soil and climate of the West are greater to the farmer, relatively considered, than its mineral resources and natural facilities for manufacturing are to the miner and m:mfnfnctuljer. In other words, God and Nature intended the fertile prairies and alluvial valleys of the West to produce bread for the sustenance of those who are engaged the world over in other than agricultural pursuits. That Omnisciénce which’ made the varied industries interdependent, has provided & never failing market for the natural products of the West. It is the violation of the eternal law of the free exchange of ’ the products of labor that has deprived the Western farmer of his natural market. The high tarift paralyses trade with foreign countries and imposes a monstrous tax on the iron of the railroads over whieh his grain is shipped which tax is reassessed . upon thé farmer in charges for freights. It i simply absurd to ask the people of the West to “ diversify their industry,” when they ecan do so only by disregarding the fiat of the Creator Himself. With the same propriety might they suggeest to the Luzerne and Schuylkill coal operators to “ diversify” their industry by abandoning their shafts and planting the anthracite hills il corn.

While earnestly favoring the establishment of as many manufactories as the community ean reasonably sustain, it is folly to close our eyes to the transparent truth that the West is and always will remain pre-eminently an agrieultural country. The products of the farm are our main dependence, and to make farming remunerative should be the chief aim of our publie Ined). AR A

END OF THE MODOC WAR

The war against the Modoc Indians lay now be considered closed. On the 29th ult., a number of Capt. Jack’s warriors, finding themselves pretty closely -cornered by our troops, and deeming discretipn;the better part of valor, wisely surrendered their arms and were received as captives by Gen. Davis.. Capt. Jack again managed to escape.. On the Ist inst., however, the First. Cavalry again started out in search of Jack’s band, and by 10 o’clock they had the, gratification of finding what they so earnestly sought. What transpired then is thus related hy telagraph: . -

Col. "Perry surrounded the Indian retreat. His men were bound to fight. Suddenly a Modoe shot out from the rocks fith a white flag. IHe met a Warm- Spring, and said Jack wanted to surrender, j

Three scouts were sent out to meet Jack. e came out cautiously, glanced about him a moment, and then, as if giving up all hope, came foward and held out his hand to his visitors. Then two warriors, five squaws, and seven children darted forth and joined him in the aurrender. . :

Jack is about 40. e is five feet eight inches high, and compactly built. He has a large and well-formed liead and face, full of individuality. Although dressed in old clothes, he looks every inch a chief. Tle does not speak to any one. The Modocs are grouped in the field near the house, ani SUlrounded by a guard. Spectators peer into Jack’s face with eager intcrest, but he heeds them not. He is as siil] as a statue,

It may possibly be wrong, but we can hardly rid ourself of the idea that the best way to deal with the treacherous Capt. Jack is to “shoot him o the spot.” :

FINDING it too great a task to edit a paper and officiate as judge of court at one and the same time, Judge Osborn wisely concluded to transfer his newspaper interest at South Bend into other hands. His suceessoris John Brownfield, jr., an intelligent and thor+ oughly educated ybung gentleman. The Union will henceforth be published by Fassett & Brownfield, and they ha_ve our kindest wishes for their welfare and prosperity, . -

From and after the Ist of July, 1874, the valuation of the pound sterling, as expressed in the money of account of the United States, will be %486 %, instead of %4.84 as at present. 1

THE CHOLERA-CLEAN UP,

In our last we briefly stated thatthe cholera had made its appearance in New Orleans. Since then we have noticed a number of deaths. resulting from this dreaded disease. Ifseems to be the general opinion in medical circles that the disease is likely to become epidemic. The authorities of the principal cities are therefore earnestly at. work in causing a thorough cleaning of streets, alleys, 017'_ wherever filthy matter or substances may have accumulated. This example should be emulated in every town, village and hamlet of the country, by therigid enforcement of such precautionary measures as may be deemed essential to the preservation of the public health. Several cities in this State have already taken steps in this direetion. Crawfordsville, as we notice in last weeks Jour+ nal of that city, has ereated aßoard of Health, which,in view of the alarming indications of an approaching epidemic disease, has issued to the public an address upon the subject of a thorough policing, cleansing and purifying the city. This, as the Journal further remarks, is also being followed by a thorough investigation into all the public and private places in the city with the view - of ferretting out where disease producing poison ecan find. a lurking placei Notices' have been issued to the I')i~opl‘ietors of slaughter houses to bury all refuse animal matter about their premises and requiring them Lereafter to deposit in earth pits all waste substances and cover the same with earth, and to keep these houses and places at all times clean and sweet; that no offensive, noxious or injurious vapors, odors or gasses . may be emitted tlierefrom. The livery stables’ and*grounds attached are to be cleaned and kept upon hygienic principles. The Street Commissioner is directed ‘to have the alle_v‘s, gutters, and all public places at once cleaned. The Marshal is to see that all cellars, vaults, back yards and enclosures everywhere are thoroughly policedand maintained with cleanliness. The pig pens and all places for the confinement of stock will undergo the most rigid investigation. Everything will be done by the Board of ITealth to extirpate the filth, restore cleanliness, and provide a pure atmosphere. A book has been provid--ed by the Board and at all times kept open for use at the Mayor’s office, in which is to be entered all information of places requiring purification. Any citizen knowing of any. cellar, stable, pig pen, sink, ponél, vault. or other place in a state of filth, or of any deposit of animal or i’ogetzll le matter rleft for decomposition is requested to enter in this book the place where it ‘may be found. No. n;un'esfneed be used or questions askedi but simply the locality is required. Thus all can aid in directing to some foul spot needed to be cleaned. ;

~ We append, as applicable to our.own town,.the remarks of the Jourial relative to the above regulations: It is ‘hoped that in view of the great importance of public health, to avoid the . visitation of an epidemic disease, #he terrors of which will dwarf into imsignificance the late small pox scare, as well as for individual enjoyment and public pride, every citizen will promptly second this much desired move of the Board of Health, and at once see that all their premises are thoroughly cleansed. And' not only that this is now done, but that their surroundings are maintained 'in that condition, at leagt through the warm season. . It is far better that this much needed work should be promptly and efficiently done by property owners and occupants, for there is no mistaking the fact that the Board of ITealtli'enters upon its‘duties in this matter’ with all earnestness, and that all laggards will speedely feil the effect of violating their orders.

PROTECTION NO LONGER A NECESSITY. The city of Pittsburgh, Pa., is known: throughout the world as one of the leading manufactoring cities of the Union. It abounds with iron;, works, furnaces, glass factories, &c¢. The Post, published in that city‘, may fairly be presumed to know something of the sentiments entertained by the owners ()jé these establishments. relative to the question of “protection;” hence the following phragraph clipped from its columns is of public interest: “If. the World would like to make a point, it should: send an intelligent corresponslent to this city and interview some of our largest iron manufacturers; they ‘seem to be possessed lately with the ideathat they nolonger require protection, and would be better without it; at least that is the way they talk, and if our cotemporary will send his man along we will give him the names.” ; @ Acecepting this déclaration as authoritdative, why should anybody in the West, or, for that matter, anywhere else, continue the senseless clamor for “protection” to the iron manufacture?

OLD FOGY “ETHICS.” ’ The New Castle papers of last week give a report of the proceedings of the “Eastern Indiania Dental Association” lately held in that place. The objeet of the society is stated as follows: “The object of this society is the promotion and increase of knowledge and skill among the members of the profession, and the dissemination of knowledge among the patrons in regard to the teerh, their disease, the remedies and the manner ol earing properly for these most important orsans, and such intormation as ghall enable the communities to distinguish the man of worth and real merit from the ignorant quack and pretender, And then for the purpose of “disseminating knowledge among the pat-rons-in regard to the teeth, their diseases, the remedies and the manner of properly caring for these most important organs,” the Association adopteil 4 “code of ethies” in which ; “It is,declared to be unprofessional to advertise by hand bills, posters, localg, or by calling attention to special modes of (;pemﬁng on s?ecial cases, cheapnegs ofgrlce_. &c, For the violation of which charges may he preferred against the member go violating, he maly be tried, and if found guilty suspended or expelled from the body.” The Association, to be consistent in its code, should, at its next meeting, require the members. to insist hereafter that grateful patrons shall not under any circumstances tell their neighbors about the excellent work or scientific operations performed for them by their local dentist. It would also be a good idea to not print reports of such meetings, in which detailed treatment of difficult cases are sometimes given, least by accident Dr. Forceps might enlighten an interested customer and thereby—advertise, — Cambridge City Tribune, - [

BOSTON AGAIN IN FLAMES!

fIVE BLOCKS IN RUINS — THE FIRE RAGES OVER FOUR HOURS—LOSS $1,250,000. -

Boston was visited by another destructive conflagration last Friday morning. The fire commenced ahout 8 o'clock, in the furniture factory of Kelley, Morse & Bagden, 441 Washington street, a six story building. On account of the combustible clharacter of the contents, the flames spredd with lightning rapidity, and in ten minutes the building was in one sheet of 'fire, The flames worked into the blocks on either side of the street and rear occupied bywholesale pianp manufaeturers, including the American. = The buildings soon succumbed. The fire then crossed the street, and on account of the intense heat, the firemen were unable to work to any advantage. Then the roof of the Globe Theater building caught fire. " At 11 o'clock the fire was still gaining. Among the buildings burned are the Globe! Theater, Chickering’s piano ware rooms, Dunn’s I’reébyterian Church, 4nd the International Hotel. = The elegant Masonic Temple at the corner of Tremont strect was not touched, and was saved on account of its non-combustible character. The buildings between Carr, Washington, and Boyleston streets, all structures which the fire travelled over, were all burnt, including Boyleston Bank, at the corner of Washington street: The fire was stopped in its course down the east side .of Essex street, towards Chauney street, by.hard work.. On the other side of Washington street, towards Tremont street, several acres have heen burned over. Among the largest sufferers are Chickering & Sons, who lose $200,000 over their insurance. :

What is & Promissory Note? Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court in session at’ Niles last week made a ruling upon the following promissory note, which was duly signed and stamped, of such a character that we give the gist of it as a matter of interest and importance to our readers. The note read: : G

$1,200. Nires, April 15, 1871. On or before the fifth day of October next, we promise to pay P————, or order, twelve hundred dollars. If paid in ninety days, no interest on note ; if not paid in ninety days, the note to draw ten per cent. interest from June Ist, 1871. :

Judge Brown raised the question whether this was a promissory note. He claimed that a promissory note is a written promise o pay money at a certain time, and that this promise must be absolute and'unconditional except it depend upon ‘some eévent that must happen, which is not the case with the above, and it is thereby so stripped of that/element of certainty so necessary to the existence of a promissory note that it is. not in itself evidence of indebtedness—South Bend Tribine. -

They demand repeal of the salary grab in one resolve, and in another praise the wisdom and integrity of Grant in the administration of his high office. The merest expression of: a- wish, not to say his veto, would have defeated the salary grab. But Grant signed the bill, and I),l'o§its $lOO,OOO by that exhibition of his wisdom and integrity. :

ROBBERY AT SoUTH BEND.—David T. Ulmer, living in the north wing of William Eaker’s residence on Franklin Street, lost $l4O taken from his pant’s pocket near the head of his bed, on Monday night. "On retiring that night My, Ulmer did not lock the door, but, instead, turned the catch to the lock on the inside. The burglar overcame this obstacle to his entrance of the house by boring a hole in the panel of the door with a gimlet through which he drew back the catch with a piece of bent wiré, Mr. Ulmer’s coat and vest hanging on the wall were also ransacked, but nothing was taken except the money. This was about to be used to make a payment on some property for a home lately purchased by Mr. Uimer, and the thief was doubt18s cognizant of thé circumstances, and khew that he had not yet parted with it.—Register.

It is eharged that the Grange movement is a scheme for foisting a few men inte notoriety and power. What more or better is the Republican party? It is only a vast ring for the advancement of a few leaders. You may vote the Republican ticket till doomsday, and you, as farmers, will lot be benefited an iota. If theremust be rings have one of your own. .You may revere the party for its past great deeds, but to eling to it now is like hugging the corpse of a small-pox patient. As for resurrecting the Democratic party through this farmers’ movement, no one harbors the insane idea. The farmers are going to make a good ticket and eleet it.—The ITowa Granger. : 4
