SOME of the republican papers are finding .fault with the Indianapolis Jourial for employing J. J. Bingham, of Sons of Liberty notoriety, as one of its editors.” As “old Joe” is not so employed, these criticisms are not likely to disturb anybody: z'l‘he‘ Bingham connected with the Journal is Joseph W, wson of old Joe, and as the young man’s engagement does not include the writing of political editorials, the uneasiness of orthodox llepub\icané ought to come to rest,

- THERE is “a heap” of good “sense and incontrovertible truth in these remarks of the Ménwhis_Aml«znnhe: “The Liberal movement of 1872 is bringing forth 'good fruit. It loosened the rocks, It taught partisans that there are higher, more patriotic- duties than shutting one’s eyes to political short-eomings and voting for nominees., Ina word, itt.aixght the masses that independence and conscientiousness work very well togéther, {md to look with distrust and even contemypt upon brazen-throated - politieal dril mastems. This spirit of independencel will be heard from more fiequently in the future.” o

c L\ SOMEWHAT gareful examination of the electio;‘n rppxrns reveals the fact that there was a'great falling-off in the vote of nearly, if not all, the States where elections were held this Fall Prudent politicians will draw proper inferences from this manifestation of indifference. They will appreciate the importance of convincing this particular element that the anti-Grant victories will be beneficial to the country and eonducive fo the promotion of politieal morality. An honest effort imthis direction will enlist the eonfidence of the ‘very men who will decide elections in coming contests, They kept aloof frdm the contests of _the present year for ohvious reasons, but will none the less keep a sharp eye.on those who have just beea en[trusted with the ‘administration of “public affairs. Let the new officials discharge their duties honestly and faithfully, and the bulk of the stay-at-home vote will next year be cast in | their favor and in support of the party which they represent, ==

THE RECENT ELECTIONS. The reports of the November elections as published in last week’s BANNER, are not materially changed by later returns. The losses everywhere sustained by the Republicans are simply immense, and the vietories of the Opposition in several States far exceed the most sanguine expectations of our political friends. , :

‘Foremost in the list of re(‘leemedi States deserves to be placed the commonwealth of Wisconsin. The entire: Reform State ticket is elected by about 15,000 majority. The newly cheson Legislature. is of the same political ('mtnp]e&ion——thﬂ Senate standing 17Reformérs to 16Republicans ; the House 59 Reformers against 41 Republicans. Well done, indeed. The Farmers have become masters of the sitntition in Illinois. They carried 33 counties, the Democrats I‘9, the Republicans 14, and the Independents 13: three counties are yet to be heard from. The ageregate vote cast is only about four thougand less than that of 1871, when county oflicers and a con-gressman-at-large were elected. Gov., Washburn's majority in Massachusetts does not ‘exeeed 15,000— only 57,000 less than Grant’s a year ago. The Legistature is c¢omposed of 70 R(‘-public:ms, 5% Democrats, and 1 Independent Republican, in the House; the Senate: 23 Republicans, 12 Democrats, and five Independents. This is a larger democratic, representation than has been known for many years. In Maryland.the democratic majority on State officers is 80,000; in Virginia about 35,000, ¥ Minnesota, against hier own inter(‘sts; adligres to the republican party. Davis’ majority for Governor is now réported at 8,000, that of his eolleagues (exeept the candidate for, Treasurer, who may possibly have been defeated) is about 4,000. The Legislature remains republican, but the majority is largely reduced. = Ex-Congressman Ignatius Donnelly and ex=U. -S. Senator Wilkinson (both Grangers) are elected to the Senate by large majorities.

Kansas elected a Granger legislature, which secures the election of an anti-monopoly U. S. Senator. ; The democratic majority in New York is between 14,000 and 15,000.— The Republicans, however, retain a small majority in both houses of the Legislature. ‘ | The newly elected l,egislaturé of New Jersey contains a majority of Republicans, which will have the effect of sending a Republican (probably Secretary of the Nayy Robinsen) to the United States Senate, in place of Stockton, Democrat. L Butler’s son-in-law Ames, temporarily located in Mississippi, had himself elected Governor of that Africanized commonwealth, over Gen. Alecorn, a decent Republican sunpported by DPemocrats. T

The Ft. Wayne :Treasury Case. The investigation of the Ft. Wayne city treasury defalcation was attended with much excitement. ~‘The standing of Mr. Dreegmeyer, the defaulting treasurer, was such as to create a,profound sensation @among his confiding constituency upon discovering that he had been guilty of the basest frauds.— It appeared, during the excitement, that the books were not only kept in a very bungling and suspicious manner, but that a bare-faced fraud was perpetrated in the filing of Mr. Dreegmeyer’s bond—the new bond not being signed-at all, but simply having the 11:uneye%“the former sureties attached on a slip of paper. This deceptive game was the joint work of Dregmeyer and the former city clerk, who, it wWill be remembered, committed suicide a few 'months ago. The termination of the trial is thus reported by telegraph:/ ‘ . Fr. WAYNE, Nov. 8, 1873.—At the conclusion -of the evidence for the prosecution in the Dreegmeyer impeachment trial, last night, a recess was taken until $1:30. - On the Council being again called to order, the defense rested. The prosecution proposed to submit the case without argument, but the defense demurring, a spirited discussion took place as to the time speakers should be allowed in which to make their arguments.— City Attorney Newberger waived argument. Mr. Colerick, for the defense,. made a spirited address, condemning the Common Council for dereliction of duty, severely criticizing the manner in which the case had been carried on, and to the astonishment of all, tendered Dreegmeyer’s resignation., It had been understood he would make a vigorous fight. = Dregmeyer’s resignation was accepted. Mr. Colerick made a motion that the Council at once choose a successor. C. Barton and Platt J. Wise were nominated, and Barton was declared elected on the 9th ballot. Mr. MceCulloch introduced a resolution fixing the bond of the Treasurer at $500,000, and it was passed.

OUR intensely partisan’ contemp(»-e rary of the Warsaw Jlndianian is not disposed to admit the correctness of our estimate of Gov. “Bill” Allen’s patriotism, and seeks to convey the impression that the venerable statesman was-in sympathy with the southernrebels. We are not disposed to bandy words on this point, from. the fact that the Indiunian editor is one of those very singular individuals who imagine that becanse a man did not approve all the acts of the adminisfration during the war, he necess'm:ily had to be a sympathizer with treason and rebellion, This view we hold not only erroneous but absuyrd in the extreme, Though popular at one time, we are happy to say that the Indianian is among the comparatively small number of journals that persist in revainping that exploded theory, .

Tar sPEECHES of Senator Thurman sinee the Ohio election are of such a Ligh-toned and patriotic character that “the bygaboo. of the Indianian—the possible “dictation” of a platform of principles by the great Senator--ig not well calculated to strike us with. ferror. Solong as the principles’ ave aound, we care precious little, who dictates the platform, P 00l i i e o oG T i 1t is stated that Jay Cooke & €o. have offered to pay their creditors 15 ﬁr cent. in money and the remainder n Northern Pacifie railroad bonds.

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS. “We have on several occasions urged upon our citizens the many advantages that would result to this town, from the organization of a building association. The scarcity of inhabitable houses and tlie*disinelination of capitalists to invest their means in dwellings, operate very disadvantageously to the growth of the town. Men who pay from $8 to $l5 rent per month, are dissatisfied with the accommodations afforded thein for the money thus expended, while the shanties that rent at lower figures are certainly sufficiently” dilapidated to fill the tenant with awe atthe contemplation of the cold blasts of winter.

A gentleman who has' given this subject much attention, and who has himself been variously ‘connected with the organization of bllildil)g' associations, says it as an undisputed fact that it is the interest of the individual and of the community that every man of family has and owns a home, However limited his means, the man of family must become a householder, either as owner of the tenement that gives shelter to his wife and little ones, or as a tenant depending on a landlord, generous or exacting as the shifting market and variable demand may affect the lattér’s interest. In every town of commercial or manufacturing importance, it is alike td the interest of the capitalist and the workman that each employe owns his home; for the possession of such home renders the! employer confident that he will retain the labor of skilled workmen, the credit given to owners of real éstate, and to the additional improvement of the town, increased interest in, and adornment of properties owned by the occupants, and not inhabited merely by casual and changing tenants. A town, thfe 'l'éf;ml estate of ‘which -is held by eapitalists and non-residents, cannot prosper, for the mechanic. arid laborer are not identified with its interests, and are simply sojourners. But a r‘esideilt property owner, however small, becomes in truth a citizen, and interested in the physical, educational, social and moral advancement of the locality which he may then call his home. ‘ High rents are also an impediment to the growth of a town and a grave | hardship upon the tenant frequently - compelled to sacrifice the comforts, and even the necessaries of life, to meet the landlord’s oft reeurring claims. If then it is the joint interest of the community and the individual, thalt each family should econtrol and be in possession of their own home, how in the present state “of our town can "this be most easily and “economically - accomplished ? Tt is admitted that rents are high, that real estate ' commands” good prices, and that it is diffieult for an -individual without present accumulated captal to provide and furnish a home. } It is also true that the growth of the town requires additional tenements to accommodate those in whom the requirements ‘of labor, the- healthfulness of ourlocation, and the advantages of our educational and musieal institutions; raise the desire to cast their lot.with us as citizens.

We know no other method than by adopting the true co-operative system that bind§ eapital and labor, in a common interest and a. mutual profit, A practical - system ha&iqg this end is offered Dy the provisions'of our Statutes, with reference to Building, Loan and Savings Associations. : The Building Association system has been triedl for years in the older States, and has proved itself adapted to the wants and requirements of their improving towns and cities. "It has been demonstrated by practical results that the money paid for rent will in a thriving comanunity buy a house within a period of from six-to ten years. Thus a tenant renting a house at seven dollars per month, will in ten years pay to his landlord, $B4O. The property itself is worth no more than $7OO. He has laid by from his earnings, $lOO, a sum entirely insufficient to purchase any lots but adopting the co-operative system he purchases four shares of a DBuilding Association, which under the nsual rulés would entitle him to borrow $BOO, with the premium off. Putting this premium ab the highest rate of 25 per cent., 'the cash received: would ‘be $6OO, which would enable him to purchase the house in -which he lives. Contrasting his situation as tenant and as purchaser, or as a borrower from his. Building Association at the ‘termination of six gears, we find his account as follows: i As tenant he pays his landlord #B4 per year—in six year 5.........".. ... 4... 8504.00 As parchaser and owner he paysfor dues and-interest per year $96--in six YOnpß s ston itd gLI Ol o L 887800 For insurance and staxes per year $l2--Mt DS TRGR © nmoney advanced....... §36.00 PORRTLS ol T D Aeßiob The above is a brief summary of the general arguments advanced by an earnest advocate of building and loan associations. We intend, from time to time, to present additional “facts and figures” in substantiation of the statement made some tinie ago, viz.: that every live town ought to have a building association.

.. THE POPULAR UPRISING. Views of the Press on the Result of the .~ Recent Elections. = : THE KEY-NOTE OF REFORM.. e [Boston Post.] ' _The twelve independent States that elected local governments on Tuesday have done more than warn the Administration party of its errors, for they have left it very small hope with which to comfort itself in the future. New York answers in the deep bass of a large popular majority to Ohia’ and ITowa, and the clear echoes of an honest public opinion are reverberating across the continent. The revolution in“ Wisconsin, that giant young State, is absolutely amazing. Noth‘ing less, than the deepest change in popular sentiment conld have-wrought this apparent miracle. Virginia thunders hack her defiance of an Administratiou that!would reduce her to the abject condition of Louisiana and South Carolina. . Tllinois and Kansas proelaim the rising power of the people in their determination to overthrow monopoly and corruption.

AN HONEST VERDICT,. e ' [Philadelphia Age. | Step by step the Republican -party advanced inifs career of usurpation and violation of the rights of the people. Step by step they wrenched the powers of the Government from their constitutional fastenings and perverted them to improper and corrupt uses. The Federal Government claimed the right and. authority to interfere. in the domestic affairs of the State. They used that right. They planted canon arounda building in which the people of a State assembled to nominate candidates for State officers and policed the polls by United States troops. They also upheld in supreme authority in States, men who had been openly repudiated by the people. The power of the Federal Government was also used toxsecure the election of certain men to the United States Senate, and these men when in their seats were the mere tools of the President, not the representatives of the States fromx whence they came. In fhis manner the free representative formy of our Government was changed, the President clothed with almost despotie power, and the Senate and House of ‘Representatives turned into temples for money-changers from halls in which hoenest, patrictic meén used to pass laws for the good of the whole people, under the sanction and authority of the (Constitution, *. *. * The November elections came at a time when all these issues could be met and the Radieal party fairly judged by the people. That judgment has been recorded. Not in one State. That might have been produced by a local cause. Not in ene section. The people there might have been moved by specific appeals.. But the voice came from New York and Virginia, from Wisconsin and Maryland, from North, from South, from West. It: was the people speaking their honest sentiments in reference to the party now in power, and that fact gives such imnpressive prominence to the November elections just past. ‘ :

o THE LESSON. o [Pottsville (Pa.) Standard.) “The lesson of. the election is a plain enough one to read. It teaches the beginning of the disintegration of the party which has been fifteen years in fulfilling its mission, and whieh, its labors having degenerated into office holding, its extravagance only excelled by the corruption among its leaders, its management and direction fallein into ‘'incompetent hands, is ready to mnake room for the party of the future.! Starting from the bosom of the people, -the Republican, party, ag represented by the Administration at Washington, has+secome a ruler instead of ‘a servamt.. * % *. The Congress meeting next month ‘will strive and strive in vain to legislate in the interest of the Republican party to revive and @ perpetuate it; sechemes of retrieval will be sought, but the people will be satisfied only with legislation in the. interest of the whole country, and every special move for the Administration will be marked and condemned. A LIBERAT POLICY REQUIRED. = ~ [Tipton (Ind.) Times.] =

In eachiof these .States the antiRepublican ticket has been entirely or partially successful; not because the people of those States have fallen in love with Democratic leadersy but because they have become disgusted with the extravagance, favoritism and corruption of Republican rule; The Democracy has of course gained a great coigne of: vantage.. It has now the advantage of} position for the fight of 1874; it remains to be seen whether it will maintain it. The Republican party in its glorious and, triumphant days welcomed every convert to its ranks. It asked no question about antecedents; it wanted able men and it never thought about safe men; it made fighting nominations, not cautious ones. Party adherents of-infinite respectability but of no mental power, were laid in the back ground, and men like Morton, Logan and Wade, whose respectability was below zero, but whose aggressiveness was up to the nineties, were made its nominees. It is easy -to leatn from an-enemy. The Demo: cratic party should give hearty welcome to every convert from Grantism, and it shopld give ampleroom and verge énough to the youngeér and aspiring intellects in its own rgnks. ‘While we sing as hearty a Te Deum Laudamus over the glorious news from the elections as the oldest and most respected fossil of the party, it still oecurs to us that in this' supreme moment of victory there is danger. I.et the Democracy pursue a liberal course and the future is its own. Let it become intoxicated with a‘temporary gain and reel into the Pharisaie groves of place hunters and the present vietory may be as 'disastrous to it as the victory of Bull's Run was to the briefly triumphant Confederates.

Mapisoxn, Wis,, Nov.lo.—There is 'much dissatisfaction expressed by different classes of those who contributed to the vietory of the reform party in the recent State election at the tone of several of the speeches at t_;he jolli- | fication I meeting here on Saturday ‘night. - The Madison Democrat, edited ' by liberal and progressive young men, gives expression to this feeling, and ‘administers a pointed: rebuke. ' It says: “For one elément to come forward and claim this as its great ‘achievement is exceedingly offensive ito all the rest, and smaeks strongly of ‘bad faith when it comes from democratic speakers. If they flatter themselves with the delusion that this grand uprising of the people means a restoration of the old democratic par'ty, they fail to comprehend its spirit.” e R e TBST A | SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS: Ch#les Monroe, Eel River Allen Co., Ind... $1 00 John Spackeen, Lig0nier..................... 200 Gideon Harper, o Sedtis Stae snie s s 00 |Geo.

Tor ArLping, while issued with all the regularity i has none of the temporary or timely interest chars | acteristic of ordinary periodicals. : It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light and graceful liferature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest gpécimens l of artistic ¢kill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a _fresh’ pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most apprecinted after it has been bound up at the close of the year. ‘While other publications may claim snperior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ‘ALDINE ig 2 unique and original conception—alone #Ad unapproached — absgolutely without competitton in price.or character, The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any_other shape or sumber of volumes for ten times'its cost;” and then, there are the chromos, besides.. - - ART DEPABH‘NIENT,IS?4.' The illustrations of THE ALDINE have won a ~world-wide reputation, and in the art centres of Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood cyts are examples of the highest perfection ever a'tained. The common prejudice in favor of ““steel plates,” is rapidly. yielding to a more¢ educated und discriminating taste %Uch recogniZes the advantages of guperior artis quality with greater facility of production 'The wood-cuts of I?HE. "ALDINE possess all the delicacy ‘and elaborate: finish of the must costly steel plate, white they afford a better rendering cf the artist’s original, - To fully realize the wonderful work which ZHE ALDINE is doing for the causes-of art enlture inAmerica, it is only necessary to consider the cost ‘to the people of any other ‘decent representations of the productions of great painters, - Rt In addition to designs by the members of the Na-. tional Academy, and other mno!ed artiste, 7HE ALDINE will reproduce examples of the best foreigh masters, selected witha view to the highest artistic success and greatest general interest.— Thus, it will be seen, that the subseriber tg THE ALDINE will, at a trifling cost, enjoy in his home: the pleasures aud refining influences of true art. ‘ The guarterly, tinted \xzflateg for 1874, will be by- ' Thos Moranand J.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE {or the yesr 1874 will receive a pair of chromos. The original pictures were painted in 01l for the publizhers of THE ALDINE, by Thomas Moran, .whote great Colorado picture was purchased: by Céngress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects were chosen to represeat “The East” and ‘*The West.” One ig a view in The White Mountaiog, New Hampshire; the other gives The Cliffs of Gréen River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature . of the sceues themselves is a pleasing contrast, and affords a good display. of the arﬁsﬁ’s Bscope - and coloring. Thechromos are each worked from thirty distinct plates, and are in size (12. x 16) and . appearance exact fac-similes of the originals. The _presentations of a wortky example of America’s grefitest landecape painter to' the ‘subscribers of. THE ALDINE was a bold but peculiarly _hapgy idea, and ité successful reahzation is attested by the following testimonial, over the signature of Mr. Moran himself. s oy ib e e iiiss v iy .23 Newark.
