* THE crowded condition of our ‘columns and the impossibility of issuing a supplement, precludes a review of /the President’s message this week. We may refer to_some of its points hereafter. s BiLry ‘WxLLIKMs has been designated by Speaker Blaine as chairman of the committee on War Department expenditures. Major Sayler serves on three committees, viz: Privaﬁe land claims, Patents, and Coinage. |

Toe Springfield Republican- avers that “the average democratic congressman is one part rascal and nine parts fool.” So far as this relates to the majority of Fernando Wood’s caucus, we are prepared te have our yote recorded among the “yeas.” |

FRIEND SLATER, of the Franklin Herald, is not half as ‘war-],.ikte as he was two weeks ago. We infer from this that he no longer contemplates organizing a brigade to clean out the Spaniards. Sensible, Slater. - Your services are needed at home—to bang away at Fernando Wood’s caucus’

If he has acquired the ability of standing upon the air, no ﬁar‘ticular harm is likely to result; if ‘not, he is bound to go where darkies are not permitted to vote. . b

THE EDITOR of the Seymour Demo-“ crat expresses himself in no uncertain terms with regard to the infamous conduct of Fernando Wood’s |caucus. He lampoons those congrbssional rogues without mercy and regardless of their standing in the party heretofore. Lay on, Bro. Davisoni honest Democrats will always st:mdLby you in the defence of right and justice. eee ] : THE NOMINATION of Geo. . Williams for the Chief J usticeshiihas not yet been confirmed by the Senate.— The opposition to his 'confirnfiation is quite strong and seems to be increasing. Williams is not deemed (hualiﬁed for the position, and some even g 0 80 far as to question his honest{ and integrity, Various charges affecting the latter have been preferred.J A few days more will probably ddtermine the gentleman’s fate. i

THE BANNER, as has beerl amply demonstrated, will neither cover up nor apologize for the misdeeds of its politichl allies. It belﬁeves in denouncing wrong wherever found. It :;Fals impartially, indepéndently, fear essly.— Corrupt meén'calling themseh(rfs Democrats need not expect more leniency than dishgnest Republicans.——Our voice is against robbers and plunderers generally, regardless bf their political antecedents or proclivities. T B—— | ; WHEN the democratic congressional caucus committed the unpm}d‘onable folly of screening salary grabbers, the BANNER did not wait to see what course its democratic ;contéﬁpoyaries would pursue with reference to that. matter, It struck out boldl - and denounced the stupendous folly, to use no harsher term, of the majarity controlling that cauecus. We a#'e happy to notice, however, that the democratic press throughout the country are. taking the same decided stand against these congressional champions and apologists of the great grab. This is’ a hopeful sign of the times.OLlﬁ indicates a sincere determination to rebuke wrong and to require ‘an honest and upright conduct on part df public, servants. : ; T

DEsPITE the fact that railroad corporations have taken possession of State Legislatures and the National Congress, there are to be found]Tn every locality individuals who affe@t to believe and stoutly maintain th?.t there is no real cause for the anti-monopoly movement. These gentlemen, judg: ing from their talk, would ‘hav]té"us ignore the fact that legislative [lobbies are thronged with the tools' df these corporations, ever on the alert to buy up representatives to do their bidding; that vast sums of money are annually expended to secure the -election of Representatives and Senators| in the interest of these corporations; that our whole political system hie been ~corrupted by these iﬁﬂuenceq; that courts are freely tampered wi&h, and that the raflroad ring, representing a comparatively small portion tf our population, ‘wields an undue ahd dis‘proportioned influence in shapishg the legislation of the country, We do not wage war upon railroad comphnies; quite the contrary. What we|want and demand is that they confine themselves to their proper sphere, alistain from corrupting legislative bodies, do ‘business fairly and honorable, and be satisfied with réeasonably and jusqﬁ:’bmpensation. When they come \;p to this standard, there will be no further opposition to railroad corporations.

INDIANA STATE GRANGE. Meeting at Valparaiso, Nov. 26, 1873. - The State Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry in Indiana convened in the little city ;of Valparaiso on the 26th ult. About 417 Masters were in attendance, besides a large number of others connected with the order. The number of Granges in the State is 630, a gain of 582 in one year. The meeting was characterized by great earnestness and an honest spirit to do the best work in the best possible way. A part of the session was necessarily exclusive, as it was imperative for the Grand Officers to. impart all the instruction possibl?-—a duty done t_? great satisfaction by the Grand Lecturer of the National Grange, Mr. T. A, Thompson,. ~ -

~ The election of officers for the coming year resulted as follows: Worthy Master, Henry James, Grant county; Overseer, James Comstock, Hancock county; Lecturer, C. W. Davis, Newton county ; Steward, Russell Johnson, Porter county; Assistant Steward, Z C. Phillips, Boone county; Chaplain, B. T. Ham, Marion county ; Treasurer, George H. Brown, Jasper county; Secretary, Martin M. Moody, Deleware county; Ceres, Mrs. Sarah E. James; Pomona, Mrs. Catharine Comstock; Flora, Mrs. Hannah Davis; Executive Committee, J. Q. A. Newson, J. F. Hall, Lyndall Smith. The Grange;/rejected a proposition to buy clothing at wholesale in Philadelphia, on: the ground thaﬁj manufacturers should be encouraged at home. A resolution by Mr. Olleman, of the Indiana Farmer, to debar all but farmers from membership, was carried with a will. A large number of the ladies were interested visitors, and the | meeting, as a whole was an entire success.

The resgl\itions adopted at this meeting declare in favor of more currency, in favor of the repeal of the increase of salary law, favored patronizing home manufacturers, and, so far as possible, of building up home interests and home markets. On the question of railroads and cheap transportation, which, in its various ramifications, is one of the most important now before the country, the Grangers expressed themselves with singular moderation and good sense. lere is the resolution: | ' Resolved, That the interests of farmers and railroads are inseparable; that we have no- war to make on railroads, but our complaints are against their mismanagement, by means of which they make large dividends on wateréd stock; that we favor the building of more competing through lines of roads, and are in favor of Congress encour- | aging the same by granting charters and right of way to.capitalists, either . American or Foreign, without distinetion of nationality. - ; That hits the nail square on the head. “The true interests of farmers and railroads,” so the Indianapolis Journal comments, “are identical, as are those of every class and industral enterprise within certain limits., But it is the outrageous mismanagement off railroads, the persistent sacrificing: of the interests: of the many to those of a few, the shameless plundering of resident stockholders in order to enrich dishonest directors or foreign bondholders, the utter ignoring of lecal claims in favor of through lines, the infamous practice of watering stocks, the unseen but enormous robberies perpetrated by rings within rings—these are what the farmers propose to make war against. Their hostility is really directed, not against railroads, but against rascals. Railroads have contributed immensely to the developement of the country, but nobody will deny that many of them, so far as theinterests of the stockholders and the public qre concerned, have been badly managed, and that some ‘great and crying abuses have attached ‘themselves to the system. In fact, not only the interests of the farmers and all classes of citizens, but the interests of liberty and the very existence of our institutions require that the overshadowing growth of the rail- ' road power should be checked, its on:erous, exactions curtailed, and its encroachments on the rights of individuals brought to an end. The vast arm of railroad monopoly encircles in-its resistless fold every other interest on the continent, and its busy agents are found shaping legislation in many of the States, and even seeking to control the Bench. It is in no spirit of hostility to railroads, but in the interest of good government, that we say the encroachments of so great and übiquitous a power should be resisted, its rights and duties defined by the State, and itself held to a strict com-! pliance with the law.” _

THE daily papers last week were filled with war-like dispatches from Cuba. It was stated that the Spanish officers had determined to resign rather than comply with the terms of the treaty agreed upon between the United States and the Spanish Governments, and that the stipulated surrender of the Virginius would be resisted by force. Happily, these sensational accounts were not confirmed, though there is no disguising ‘the fact that Cuban authorities are greatly incensed at the “humiliation” imposed upon them. Itis believed, however, that the Spanish government will succeed in carrying out the agreement with Secretary Fish. The recall of Minister Sickles is daily expected. He 'is in bad repute at Madrid and Mr, Fish seems to have lost all confidence in that gentleman’s ability to properly represent our government at that court. : v

'SPEAKER BLAINE has announced his standing committees. He has placed the salary grabbers and the Credit Mobilier men at the front, as chairmen of the leading committees. . He has given the foremost place as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and leader of the House to Dawes, who cambines the dishonest greed of the salary grabber with the odious venality of the Credit Mobilier. A more insolent affront of the just sentiments of honest men of both parties was never offered. Speaker Blaine’s political career ends with the present Congress.— World, |

CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS, { Gen. Logan, in the Senate, and Mr. Farwell, in the House, have intro- 1 duced a bill chartering a new air-line railroad from New York to Chicago. The feature of the bill is that the materials which enter into the construction of the road shall be admitted free of duty, in consideration of which the road shall transport Government freight at reduced rates. Asa matter of course, this provision invites the hostility of the high-tariff men in Congress. - On “the other hand, it is said that a large body of Western men have gathdred at Washington is support of it. The Senate bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee on account of the legal points involved. Mr. Cox’s Cuban sympathies received a set-back last Monday in the re- | fus,a.i of the House to suspend the ‘rules in order to pass his resolution recognizing the belligerency of the insurgents. The House probably thought it well not to adfl to the complications of the Spanish question just at this time. : | ;

. TheHouse of Representatives has taken the initiative in adopting, by a vote of 141 to 29, a Universal Amnesty bill, which is one in fact as well as in name. The test oath is repealed, and some people who do- not yet know that the War of the Rebellion is over will be startled to léarn that even Jeff. Davis may now take a seat in Congress—if he ¢an get elected. _ The Secretary of the Navy has addressed'a communication to the House of Representatives, asking for an extra appropriation of $14,000,000 to meet the increased expenses of his department for the current year. The Secretary states that he has assumed the responsibility of measures for put+ ting all the iron-clads and cruisérs in a condition for active -service, and contends that the sum he asks is necessary to carry out this plan. Mr. Robeson hints vaguely at the Spanish difliculties’ as the oceasion for' this sudden activity. His demand has been referred to the.Committee on Appropriations, with whom he is personally lobbying. for a favorable consideration,: i ,

The House Committee on Appropriations have reported a bill givin Seeretary Robeson $5,000,000 extr appropriations for the year’s expense of the Navy Department. Mr. Robeson asked for $14,000,000, but he hs probably concluded that a third of & loaf is better than ne bread. As'th prospects of a_naval ‘war are exceedingly remote, it is rather a question whether this is not too much instead of too little. ' e 7 |

- The feature of Congressional pri—ceedings on Tuesday was the discussion in the House of the repeal of the salary-grab, which was more animated than dignified. Mr, Cox, of New York, and Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, having taken themost decisive grounds against the grab, they were made the targets for all the shafts of abuse and sarcasm which the apologists for the grab could invent. Mr. Cox’s motives in returning his back-pay were impugned, and he produced a letter written’ prior to Mr. Brooks’idecease, showing that it was his intention to return the back-pay'before he had any idea that there would be a vacancy in Mr. Brooks’ district to which he might succeed. Judge IL.awrence, of Ohio, who was a menmiber of Congress in- 1866, was attacked because he partook of the incrgase of salaries in that year. Though he was manifestly unable to hold his own against the dogs let loose upon him, his answer that the public sentiment was not averse to the inerease at that time was a good one.— But neither the increase of 1866, nor, the personal attitude of Mr. Cox, Judge Lawrence, or any other individual, had any bearing upon the real issue, and the sparring was evidently resorted to for the double purpose of diverting public attention and gratifying personal malice. It was left for a colored member, Mr. Lynch, of Mississippi, to discover that it was just as bad to decrease the pay of the Congress making the decrease as to increase it, and. that, .therefore, the decrease should not apply to the present Congress. While this may be an evidence of the ingenuity of colored Congressmen, it is too “thin” to deceive anybody. Altegether, the discussion ‘was temporizing, and unworthy of the occasion. It illustrated the contempt for public opinion which inspires the present Congress. The debate exhausted the time of the House, as it will the patience of the publie, and -the vote was. not reached before ad- | journment.—Chicago Tribune.

. Letter from Elkhart County. oOsoLo, IND., November 27. ~ FrIEND STOLL:—I notice in your valuable paper that you have a number of correspondents, furnishing, news from different parts of your: county. It appears, also, that you have no correspondent from the northern part'of Elkhart county, and inasmuch as winter has closed in upon us, I will take it upon: myself to furnish you with a few items. Item No. 11is a two-dollar greenback, forione year's subscription. = This I judge is one of the best “ideas,” and the most important in these stringent times. .The wheat crop in this part of the county was the poorest we have had for many years, and the corn about two-thirds of a crop. The farmers generally are done with their. fall work. - The hog crop in this part of the county and in the southern part of Cass county, Mich., was large, and most all sold at the enormous sum of from #3 btp $3.25 per hundred, live weight. '/ , ‘ |

When East this Fall, I stopped over at Williamsport, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania; There I saw Nelson Wade, the murderer of the two MecBrides, in jail, awaiting his doom. He has now suffered the penalty of the law, as many a one deserves., I also saw Wenrich, the murderer of Dr. Wagenseller, at Middleburg, Snyder county, where he is awaiting his trial. My opinion is that Mr. Wenrich will have a fair and impartial: tl_vial with Judge Bucher on the bench. As to political matters, I have but little to report. We have no Granges organized as yet, but the mattor has been talked of and it is .my opinion that before Spring opens we shgll be numbered among the so-called AntiMonopolists. - s |

The idea advanced by some of your correspondents does not meet my approbation. W are not only fighting the republican party, but we are after the “grabbers” and rogues of both parties. TLet us unite all honest men, and the battle is ours. General Grant said, “Let us have peace,” but I now say, let us have war—war against corruptionists, war against salarygrabbers, and when honest men rule this,gour once glorious government then we will say: Let us have peace, Mege Gott das Unternehmen segnen,. ist mein Wunsch und Gebet.

o SECRECY AGAIN. _ ! BY 0. G. FAIT. FeELLow ClTizENs:—Many of you have, doubtless, read in the supplement to the BANNER of last week an article purporting to be a reply to an article of mine of the previous week. But as the writer has some evil intent he withholds his name and, agreeably to the principles of secret institutions, commits his infamous deeds of slander and vituperation over a name as false as the institation he endeavors to defend. This writer evidently loves darkness rather than light, because his deeds are evil, as said our Savior in John iii, 20. We take it for granted this secret writer is a model secret order man; that he truly and fairly represents secret institutions; that the spirit manifested in his article is a representative spirit of secret fraternities, and the very essence of lodge religion. This being true, fellow-citizens, are we not justified in putting forth every effort to choose as our rulers, in both Church ‘and State, a more noble class of citizens—a. class of a better and higher grade of morals—meén who would not write an article that they would be ~ashamed of before God or men; men who would not for their lives -shield | ‘themselves‘, as the writer over “Homo” 'has done, under the cover of secrecy to slander, ridicule and falsify a man’s character, while he is guilty of no greater crime than calling in quéstion the integrity of secret, oath-bound fraternities ? e ;

Fellow-¢itizens, by an examination of my first contribution to the BanNER, pnblished in the supplement of November 27th, you will: ndtice this secret writer, ‘lTomo,” did not attempt to answer niy ‘arguments, but has merely sought to destroy the artiele by secretly injuring the character of its author. The worst of criminals are often screened from justice by secret fraternities by thus de_stroying the reliability of ‘a witness§ of undoubted integrity. And this, I affirm, is dow the relation the criminal susta to these popular secret fraternities, and by virtue of the ;oaths and obligations of its members. Neither is there any statesman, nor minister of the gospel, nor honest farmer, that could express his opinion uhfavorably of these. secret institutions angdl announce to the public his determination to oppose these secret monopolies as subversive to the best interests of society, but would be subject to the same calumny and vituperation given me over the secret and false name of “Homo.” o * We must expeet, fellow-laborers, so long as the domineering spirit. of tlfe Lodge controls both Church and State, to be classed by them as being the low, the degr:‘tded, the ignorant, j;he uncharitable; and to be slandered, and ridiculed, And more than all this, my christian friends, we must expect to have our names cast out as eyil, and to be excluded from the ehurch by false brethren. : o

But let us enduroe all these things as good soldiers, imitating our great Teacher i]u; patience under tribulation and perseverance under adversity. If we expect to receive a crown at the end of our christion race, we must prove faithful through evil as well as through good report. . ' In regard to this secret writer’s allusion. to my practices; and to my associates and co-laborers, I would say to the-honest readers of the BANNER, you must judge of my habits by the character of my associates/ and colaborers. 2
