Hon. Joun P. HALE, once a leading statesman and for years an influential member of the U. 8. Senate, fell from ~his horse about ten days since and was 8o severely injured that his recovery is considered doubtful. He was ‘one of the early champions of the antislavery movement. :

THe fact that Butler, Mosby, Cameron & Co. are in favor of Grant for a third term leaves the average Republican but little choice in this matter. When these eminent leaders give the word, there must: be )zin affirmative response all aloug the line. Disobedience in this particular will be regarded high treason,

WE are surpriged to hear that usually well-informed journal, the Pottsville Jefferson Demokrat, speak of the Chicago Times as “the leading democratic paper of the Northwest.” Bless your soul, the 7'émés has not only long-since ceased to be recognized as a democratic paper, but is cordially despised as the meanest, vilest and dirtiest sheet in the whole country. i

Tuey don’t do things by halvesout in California. The indignation against Senator Sargent, the 'ehief fugleman of the Central Pacific railroad monopoly in that State, has so impaired that gentleman’s health as to render a trip to the East necessary. They have I»een hanging the Hon. Aaron in eftigy over there. al e ‘

IT is with profound regret that we read of the disinclination ‘of Colonel Greene, editor of the Boston Post, to accept the demoeratic nomination for Governor of Massachusetts. Col. Greene is by far the ablest’ and most sensible democratic editor in New England;— which latter factymay account for his declination. s o

r | i ROE Sb S b HoN. JAcoB THOMPSON, Secretary of the intertor under President Buchanan, print§ along letter denying the statements implicating him in the alleged frauds in that department, and refers to the faect that a congressional committee entirely exonerated him from any complicity in the alleged discrepancies. Investigations at Washington confirm this statement of the ex-secretarv. ;

“It is presumed that the flight of some four hundred and fifty German residents of Russia to this country to avoid a draft, will create a breeze between Russia and America.” let ’er breeze. Uncle Sam is strong enough to teach the Czar or “any other despot that this country is an asylum for the oppressed of all nations, and that any attempt to interfere with American hospitality will be summarily rebuked.

TrE editors of the Huntington Democrat and the Herald have been conducting quite an animated but rather instructive discussion. on the tariff question—the Democrat favoring free trade and the Herald espousing the cause of moderate protectionists.— Both journalists being sprightly writers and entirely capable of doing jusice to this very important topie, we hope they will continue for some time to come. Such *controversies not only tend to enlighten the reader, Hut are well calculated to stimulate the argumentative powers of the editorial fraternity. . : -

- WE see it stated that the Hon. David S. Goodin‘g has become a Granger, and is preparing to/sound his bugle in favor of free trade/and farmers’ rights. Dave is a good farmer; we know he is. He can get away with an ordinary pailful of milk at one sitting, devour his two pounds of-bacon with astounding alaerity, and stow away a half dozen eggs without a struggle. Besides these rural accomplishments, his handsome figure. shows to a decided advantage when enveloped in a suit of homespun and his gigantic feet bedecked by a pair of Franklin county wooden shoes. ;

" ELSEWIERE we publish a brief article from the N. Y. Post which contends that Senators Howe and Conkling are not eligible to the position of Chief Justice of the United States.— This view does not seem to meet with favor at headquarters, as an administration correspondent was forthwith inspired to promulgate that Conkling and Howe are eligible to the office, hecause the increase of the salary of that position was not made during the present term of those Senators which began by virtue of their re-election on the 4th of March last. By and by, the intellectual colossus of the White House will enlighten us which of the two is the correct view.

IT TAKES a vigilant newspaper man to dig up points that nobody else would dream of. Just new the Milwaukee News directs attention to the fact that Senator Mat. Carpenter’s defense of the salary grab was an official utterance—the act and edict of the National Administration. Senator Carpentef is President of the Senate. Vice-President Wilson is a paralytic and liable to die at Ainy moment, and ‘only President Grant’s life would then . stand between Mr. Carpenter and the Presidency. The News says: “The President cannot make a speech. The Vice-President is speechless. The next man to them in the Governinent . —the successor in case of vacancy to their offices, has spoken for them, and his defense is their defense. It ig the elegated voice of the Republican pary of the nation, avewing and defend/ing its crimes. - That is just what Senator Carpenter’s Janesville speech amounted to, and noless.” Very true, " But you need not worry about Grant’s departure to Canaan’s happy shore—- - not while he can draw $50,000 a year!

A Short Sermon with Much Sense. - The Christian Union resently contained an article entitled “Battle of Money,” which is worthy of being widely reproduced. The salient points are contained in these paragraphs: . The great - battle of our day is to be the battle of money. The combination of capitalists, the consolidation ©of railroads, the enormous concentration of money in comparatively few hands, is raising up‘ a. Plutocracy which threatens to overmatch legislatures, courts, and all private interests that may stand in the way of gigantic corporations. If' the very ablest men in Congress are so easily beguiled and perverted by the first onset, what will the future be, when millions of dollars can be brought to bear on Congress to secure millionaire legislation, as against the interests of the common people? Is the Congress of the United States to become a change on which money princes, shall meet and excliange commodities? The remedy is two-fold. There must be formed a home ‘sentiment of honesty, ; which shall make it impossible for amy inan to enjoy such gains as he gets by a sacrifice of homor, truth and public trust. As long as men, by scores and hundreds, can go to the legislature poor, and in five years return rich, maintain their popularity and enjoy ‘their ill |gotten possessions, of what use will it be once in ten years to sacrifice a luckless criminal amidst universal execrations ? The honesty must dwell amongst common people. There must be honesty at the source of power: If the people are debauched their representatives will not be virtuous. The moral education of the whole community must, atter, all be the remady Lo e e Now, these are “noble words fitly spoken.” But, after all, what do these teachings amount to when the instructor does not practice what he recommends? The writer -of that article, fully‘eognizant of the abuses that may be -discovered in every department of the government, cast his vote in favor of a continuation of the very ‘wrongs he complains of so bitterly.— Not only that, but he also wrote and spokein that direetion There are thousands in the same predicament, and to this very class attaches the greatest responsibility of our country’s disgrace.’ S !

. Poor Brigham!. e There is sad news from Salt Lake city, says the Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriol: The prophet is bereaved. Brigham Young has lost his seventeenth, temporarily, at” least. Ann Eliza Webb Young has left the fractional part of & husband in whom she has'delighted for, 10, these many years. It wasn’t a very large p-:u't’of a husband that she left and lost, but it was all she had.— The prophet, on the other hand, will miss only the seventeenth part of his manifold wife. The prophets always did have the advantage of the hoi polloi. Ann Eliza Webb left Brigham, bag and baggage,. went to a hotel, engaged three lawyers to bring a suit for a divorce—this might be called a limited divorce—and Brigham took measures to bring back, not' his wife, but her baggage. Brigham is a pru‘dent/ man, financially, though somewhat extravagant in wives. ;

WE poN’'T care about interfering’ with the speculative notions of those who invest their money in lotteries, but . our duty as a faithful journalist prompts us to call attention to section 92 of the misdemeanor act of Indiana, which provides that “Any person who shall sell a lottery ticket or tickets, or share in any lottery scheme or gift enterprise, or aétas agent for any lottery scheme or gift enterprise or aid or abet any person or persons to engage in the same, or shall transmit money by mail or sxpress, or otherwise transmit the same to any lotteryqor gift enterprise_for the division of property to be determined hy bllance % % % ghall be fined in any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars.” Of course, this is an -old law, pretty well forgotten by those who assume the responsibility of executing the edicts of law-giving power. If the act were fresh, like the Baxter bill, there might be a good deal of skirmishing. S

THE ORGAN of the saintly Hatlan yeleped the Washington Chronicle, has a few words to say about Grant’s candidacy for a third term. It is careful to point out that Grant is constitutionally eligible, and still more careful not to deny that he will be a candidate.— This journal is: well advised of the President’s. aspirations, and does not dare to take issue with them. It is evident that Grant has shipped for a life voyage. i . :

OUR LOCAL CORRESPON DENO& ‘KENDALLVILLE. if’ . The Kendallville Standayd finds it very dificult to relieve the republican party of the odium aftached to it for its part in the late.salary steal. It seems to be laboring hard to make it ‘appear that the democratic party is solely responsible for it.. I think it will not be dificult to state a few facts which will remove the cloud that is hanging over that paper and place it right upon that'subject. In order to arrive at correct conclusions we must always Ibegin at the foundation and examine all thé facts as they appear, and for the benefit of that sheet I will go over the faets -as they transpired. The bill was introduced by Beénjamin F. Butler, who is a Republican and the acknowledged leader of that party in the lower house of Congress. It was passed by a Congress having a large republican majority in both branches, and was signed by a man who has been twice elected to the Presidency by this same republican party, and the facts are, the democratic party had but very little to do with it. Itis true. that some of its members voted for the outrage, but the people will punish them for that. Andnow, Mr. Standard, if you will take the.trouble to consider who was the author of the bill, who lobbied it through, who passed it, and who signed it, I think you will readily arrive at the correct conclusion—that it is truly a republican measure, and that they are solely responsible for it. Rumors and reports are very thick in this place, and in fact all over this part of the county, that an error was made in the accounts of Mr. Lewis Iddihgs while he was treasurer of the county. ‘The amount of the mistake was some eight thousand dollars,which with interest added will now make nearly eleven thousand. If it should prove to be the case, the people can rest assured that every cent will be paid back into the county treasury. M. Iddings, with Eden H. Fisher, who was Auditor at that time, and several others, will give the matter athorvough‘ investigation in a few days, and then we shall know all about it. ' Eugene Brown and George Evans, from the wholesale establishment of Evans & Co., Fort Wayne, are spend= ing ‘a few days with their friends in this place. : Hendryx—alas for little Hendryx! He passed through here last fall and assured his Radical brethren "that Hendricks would never be Governor of Indiana. ¢

Several persons were baptizéd in the lake at this place last Sunday. . : Some will recolleet that I spoke of the manceuvres of a certain good-look-ing and well dressed lady, in a former article, and remarked that sométhing funny would grow out of it. Well,on last Friday evening, just after the heavy rain, this good-looking, well dressed woman passed up the east side of Main street and soon turned off toward the east part of town, and it was also noticed that a gentleman, who has a nice little wife, soon left his place of business and hurried rapidly up Mitchell street in the same direction. Ido not wish to state anything that occurred after this, but I am satisfied the funny part came off that evening. ‘ ' .

L. ANIET A, There are indications of quite a seMous railroad war in- this vicinity along the line of the Baltimore, Pittsburgh & Chicago R. R. The trouble mainly arises from the main contractors, Squire & Higgins Bros. for not paying off promptly. It appears that a party of about 15 Swedes took a subcontract of several miles from the above named contractors for 22 or 23 cents a yard east of this.town, in DeKalb county. They engaged a large force of men and teams and got along exceedingly well. The first. pay-day most everybody received his pay justly due him for labor performed in the month of May, and everything went well. - (It should be mgntioned here that the main contractors and not the sub-contractors pay out momey for reasons known to every railroad man.) The second pay-day for labor performed in June came along, but Squire & Higgins Bros. refused to pay anybody who had worked for these sub-con-tractors for the reason, that the debts exceeded the amount of labdr performed and that the estimate was too short. On hearing this the greatest excitement prevailed in that community, especially among the farmers who had performed the greatest part of work, and threats of lynchihg the main contractors were freely uttered. As they have left, however, for parts unknown, it is thought the threats cannot be executed. But should they return it is hoped that better counsel may prevail among the excited citizens, so that it may not be necessary for me to report so terrible a tragedy as this would doubtless be. Later reports indicate that Squire & Higgins Bros. offer to compromise by paying all debts at 50 cents on the dollar, but the people demand all or nothing. Tt is very strange that so noted a company as the Baltimore & Ohio should have its reputation stained by such swindling seoundrels as Squire & Higgins e 00l Lt e a Gk s " 11 nqt}:v‘as;k nor furnish boarding unless the'money is paid in advance.

The Cholera at M_t.lVernonlDisappearL asan ing. We are pleased to state upon the authority of the Mt. Vernon Democrat that the -cholera has about disappeared from that city. In its issue of July 24 that paper says: “We are at last enabled to report the abatement of the terrible scourge that has afflicted our city the past five weeks. Physicians are now hopeful that the epidemic has run its course. Of course there may be a few isolated cases for a few days. But the cholere as an epidemicis at an end. There were three deaths Wednesday—two boys, from imprudence in eating blackberries. Theother was a negro put off one of the packets. He had the cholera when put off here, and died next morning.” = . . g " The same paper estimates that.seventy persons have fallen victims to the terrible plague. Wherever, the scourge took hold on a family, it was doomed to almost total extinction. In the Woody family, out of eleven, eight died in rapid succession. The family of Mrs. Chas. Hovey lost four out of a membership of seven; other families lost. in like proportions. The -effect of the scourge on the city cannot be pictured. Business was almost wholly suspended. The banks and principal business houses have remained closed more than a week. Out of a population, of 3,800 less than 500 remained, and a sense of duty to the dead and dying; kept many of those at home.— Very many of the victims were buried at night. No bell tolled, no imposing funeral cortegé passed through the streets. The Democrat concludes a doleful article in these words: “Those whom God, in mercy, let live through this awful scourge, canswell pray that the scenes of thelast three weeks may never be' reenacted during ‘thetr' life B 0 e

. WEbErM THIS, by the New York Tribune, a pretty fair argument on the responsibility for the'salary grab:— “Zealous Administration organs are wasting columns of space in vain ‘attempts to show that the Republican party is not alone responsible: for the salary swindle, since the Democrats helped to pass thé bill. The scheme was originated by the best embodiment of Administration principlesand policy, Mr. B: F. Butler, and earried through by the Republican party, and all attempts to shift the disgraceful burden will be futile, The Democrats undoubtedly helped the tging along, but if they had n’t it would have gone through just the same.

The Hoosier Capital boasts of another “foul deed”—a colored man beats his white mistress to death.— The city papers record it as an' aet which excels anything in ferocity that has ever been enacted in that city.— As Indianapolis is a eity abounding in newspapers and churches; and has an efficient police, the outside world is compelled'to ask “why these things are thusly?” . , , i John C.'Stout tells this story to the Huntingfon Herald: “During the storm 'on Thursday morning last, a colt be-loﬁging to W. P. Rece, in the vieinity qf Kelso, became frightened and started to run, went straight thro’ a stiff rail fence, across a small lot, through ‘another smaller fence, and then ma]{ing ‘a jump of about fifteen feet, he tore his way through the side of a barnl,\ and fell dead on the floor inside, with his neck broken.” _ A dre'(deul Laceident is related by the Goshen 7%mes, by which Elsie Morelangl, a little girl three years’ old, in Locke township, met a terrible death onithe Ist inst., while playing with hgi' little mates in the flouring mill at that place. Her clothing was caught by the shaft of the mill, and poor little girl was carried around the shaft from thirty-four to. forty times a minute for fifteen or twenty minutes. Of course she was terribly mangled, and:life was extinct when she wasidiscovered and extracted from the shaft. : .

An election was heldin Huntington, last week, to determine the question of disposing of theschool lands.
