The Fational Banner N e J. B, STOLL, Editor and Proprietor; LIGONIER IND'’A, JAN'Y 1, 1874. ~ To the readers of the BANNER, one and all, a HAprY NEW YEAR! / A .—“g—* ‘ﬁ‘___._'..w_ " THE PRESSURE upon our advertising columns is such as to leave us considerably less space for reading matter than we desire. To obviate this difficulty, we have made arrangements for hereat,’ter issuing a supplement each’ week yntil the demands of our adyertising ‘patrons shall* have been fully met. : s :

WHILE Pennsylvania has just done away with annual sessions of her Leg: islature and inaugurated the biennial plan, the Ohio Constitutional Convention has decided to incorporate a clause into th/e new .cdnstitution providing for annual instead of biennial'sessions of the Legislature. The Pennsylvanians, in our opinion, have made the best swap. -

CALEB CusHING has been appointed Minister to Spain, vice Gen. Sickles. Mr. Cushing is a man of eminent ability and will represent our government with credit.- lle is over seventy-two years of age, has been in active public life since early manhood, and is regarded one of the ablest diplomats and jurists in the land. Politically he may be said to have been in harmony with every administration that would recognize his ability by giving him office, He' held important positions under Tyler, Pierce, Buchanan, Lineoln, Johnson and Grant. In 1860 he was an ultra pro-slayci’y man, and will be remembered as seceding from the Baltimore conyention upon Douglas’ nomination -for' the Presidency. He has the experience, the talent, and the learning to fill any office in the gift of the nation. : i

" ANOTHER virtuous Congressman who could not vefrain from making al speech expressing his earnest desire to get rid of the necessity of ti;kingqnore pay for his services than he believed them to be worth, has come to arief. /The Hon. Mr. Hale, of New York, has been obliged to rise .and explain. It seems that this sincere advocate of a ‘Teduction of salaries.was the agent of the United States before the American and British -Mixed Claims Commission, at $lO,OOO per anuum, and that while receiving thisf“_sail:u'y he also drew his pay as a member of Congress at the rate of $7,500 per annum. It ‘turned gut, as the report of the debate in the Hounse on the 18th ult. shows, that the more he attempted to explain the worse he made his ease appear. It begins to seem as if the hypocrites as well as other rogues are to bé o longer exempt ‘from publie indignation and secorn, . - 2

AT a recent convention attended by théN¢ading plow ;makers of Illinois it was resolved, as a direct attack upon ‘the Grangers, to sell no plows td f,aﬁ-i mers’ clubs or granges, except at liet"{l 1 I'D.'ri'ce&; thereby compelling agriculturists to purchase from agents instead of obtaining their goods direct from the: manufactory. Here was a direct challenge to the associations I\'high they could not suffer to pass unnoticed. The State Grange of Tllinois, whijch recently held its annual session at Bloomington, accordingly took up the resolution of the plow makers as a fruitful subject for discussion. As a result of their deliberations the State Grange instructs ‘the_ members and agents of the order of the Patrons of Husbandry.to buy no machinery made by the manufacturers who entered into the agreement at ‘Chicago, and the firms which signed the resolution comprise nearly all the establishments for plow making in the State. If the farMers aré unwilling to purchase, the grave question ai'ises, who is there to use them ? ol

T —l > —— i THE SENSATION of the week ending yesterday was a strike on part of the engineers and; gther employes. of the railroads - directly and - indirectly controlled by the Pénnsylvania Central. =~ The strike was occasioned by the issuing of an order, some time since, for a reduction of 10 per cent. in the pay of employes from and after January Ist. The engineers notified the companies that they would not submit to the reduetion, and in order to meet the crisis at once :abandoned their respective positions on Friday last. Charles E, Wilson, the Chief of the Brotherhood of Engineers, publicly announces that the strike has beerf inaugurated in direct and open’ violation of {le rules, advises those who have quit work to resume again and prevent others from stopping, and warns them not to interfere with the operations of tie railroads. The strike seems to have been most violent at Indianapolis, Cincinnati, | and in other railroad towns of Indiana. and Ohio.! A train -wag thrown off the track nedr Cincinnati, and several attempts of a similar nature were made at Indianapolis, Logansport and Richmond. Governor Hendricks promptly sent . thc:, Militia ; to the support of local authorities in - protecting the peace. On M onday ten ‘ locomotives were disableq at Indianapolis, a Vincennes freight train was thrown. off the track; and obstructions were found to have heen placed on the Little Miami road. The very latest accounts are o the effect that. the r:tL'ri'Le will extend to other roads after the Ist of January. The Pennsylvania ‘Railroad Company hag ordered a'reduction in wages of 10 per cent, to apply to all the officers and employes of the Eastern Division,—B,soo in' number,—not excepting even the President ~and Viee-President. It is stated that the engineers will accept the reduc‘tion, but under protest, not receiving iit as ful pay, At Indianapolis, Loiansp‘ort, and Alliance all is quiet.— t Aurora, I, disaffection has broken out among the shops of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Roads, who refuse to submit to the proposed re“duction of mqs, and the rumor of an intended € on the Michigan Southernisrevived. @~ =~ = ° |

CENTSIACT vs. FIETIS N ‘Under this pretentious caption the New Era ofDecembet 25 treats its readers to a column and a quarter of choice literature with reference to the allow‘anceé made us by the Board of Commissioners. for publishing the proclamation for the receut judicial election in this county. | : We must confess that it is a disagreeable task for us to be compelled, at the boginning of the New Year, to engage in a controversy of this character with a contempgrary and neighbor. It was. our eajnest ‘wish, our profoundest hope, ;.‘(thdt no such duty would devolve {ipon us,—that we might send forth this issue of the BANXNER without cortaining a single article; or a solitary ipamgraph, that could be construed as| reflecting ppon the conduct of any lone engaged in j%nrnu]istic or other' honmorable purSOats, L e |

l T3it on the very day that we are ac‘customed to having brought to our attention the beautiful words recorded { 13}' Luke: “On earth peace, good will toward man,” the editor of a neighboring journal—a man for whom we ever entertained the most friendly feeling and upon whom we never inflicted an injury— deliberatelydevotes the major portion of his editorial page. to the dissemination of the most malicious Sfalsehoods that ever emenated from the pen of a public writer. 4 The sum and substance of the Era’s accusation is embodied in this paragraph: . ‘1 - 't%t “agrees with our taste to simply and quietly puncture the false assumption of FACT. 'The plain fact is, that Mr. Stoll’s ckarde was $3.75 more than he was ellzitled to. 'The notice contained 5 squares—according to the BANNER’s own bill. Two publication days only, intervened between the issuing of the Notice and election. For two publications, the law gives $2.00 per square. According to our ‘“oldfashioned” arithmetic, 5 times $2 is $lO. Brother St()ll(i‘rial_ges it $13.75.” A careful reading of the above implies that the editor of thd Era wrote deliberately—that he intended to convince the tax-payers of Noble county that we committed a frand upon the county by taking from its treasury the sum of €375 more than we were legally and justly entitled to.- The charge is one of a serious character; if true,condign punishment should be intlicted upon the offender; if false, the accu- | ser must assume the responsibility and | odivun of having (1) wilfully deceived | the people, and (2) of having libellous-

ly, seandalously and maliciously traduged the personal character of a fel--10\‘\'-1'11:\11.‘ ‘ Now, let us see who is the thief or the liar. ~ The notice heretofore mentioned was first ingerted in No. 22 of the .BANNER, dated Sept. 25, in ‘the fifth column of the local page. The second insertion was made in No. 23, dated Oct. 2, seventh column of same page; third insertion in No. 24, dated Oct. 9, seventh column of second page. In this advertisement Sheriff Hough officially proclaims: “I hefeby give notice that on Tuesday, October 14th, }}1(;, same beihg the second Tuesday of ‘October, 1873, there will be an eleetion in the several townships of Noble county, Indiana, for the purpose of electing a Prosecuting Attorney for the 35th Judicial Circuit of the State of Indiana,” &e. The space which this advertisement occupied in our columns (the same being set out of Bourgeois type, in order to bring the notice conspicuously before the people) amounted to seven squares, but reducing the advertisement to Nonpareil measurement, we charged only for five squares. TFor one publication the law gives $l.25; for two, $2.00; for three, $2.75 per 'square. “According to our *old-fash-joned’ arithmetic, 5 times $2.75 is sl3.7s—just as set forth in our bill and as approved by the Board of Commissioners. o ,

Here, now, is a plain, unvarnished statement of facts—no “fiction” as Mr. Alvord's “startling -revelation” turned out to be. We ask every taxpayer of the county who has read the Era’s groundless accusation,togo to the Recorder’s office at Albion, where the BANNER is kept on file, and see. for himself upon what slender thread hangs Alvord’s'sweeping assertion. - - And now, fellow-citizens, we ask you: what . may be thought. of this self-constituted guardian of the treasury,—this champion of “ideas of fairness,”—this pure-hearted editor who scorns to use his columns for “venting his personal spites”? We have no desire to pass judgment upon him, but submit the case to an intelligent, candid and impartial public. -

We don’t regard our paper as a me-! dium for venting our personal “spites,” or promoting our individual glory, but as an organ of the people—prompt to’ expose everything dangerous to their welfare.—New Era.

As bearing false witness against a neighbot is-generally regarded “dangerous,” we would be pleased to have your “organ” play a tune to that melody. .

- We suggest that his-system of arithmetic would have been rather dangerous, in the office of State Auditor.— New Era. ! fok o

Not near as “dangerous” as your “system” of 1— would be in ‘the chair of the Lieut. Governor or in the office of Secretary of State. :

It is well known that our law-prac-tice has been almost entirely given up, for the purpose of attending to the paper. —Era. : Lo

And yet you publish a card in your paper soliciting public ‘patronage as a lawyer; conveyancer and insurance agent! e '

It is quite as much as we can do to make “both ends meet.”—Era. i

If that be the case, isn't it a little peculiar that you should take special pains to apprise your readers that you had donated $1.75 to Noble county ?

~ Nor has this paper ever found fault with a printer for taking the full sompensation allowed by law.—Era. It hasn’t, eh? Then what is the object of all your twaddle? =

- The Bra man calls our third of a column article of two weeks ago “long winded,” and then proceeds to dish up a fiction without any facts to the extent of a column and a quarter! ;

'~ ' Teachers Association. 7 - The teachers of Perry township met in the Town Hall on Saturday, December 20th, for the purpose of orfz‘anidng a township teachers’ associition. The house was called to order by Trustee Dunning, after’ which C. L. Houseman was appointed Chairman and Norman Babcock Secretary of themebting: = = s Rev. J. E. Harris, Norman . Babcock and W. P. Johnson were appointed a committeée to present Sundry topics for discussion at the next’ meeting, which committee subsequently offered the following: ; ; 1. That a teacher should not attempt to govern his or her schoel by rules. 2, That a teacher should read each and every verse before allowing his scholars to-read it.

‘3. That a teacher should discourage the studying of Grammar by any pupil under the age of fifteen years, and all scholars studying should be required to write asynopsis of his lesson on the blackboard each day. 4, That every small scholar should be taught Arithmetic without the use of a book. In ' teaching scholars in their second term it should be the practice of the teacher to, present at least one practical example each day to his class to illustrate the lesson.

5. The best method of teuchi'x‘igﬁorthography solicited. ' . 6. That 'we recommend “the total abolishment of Physiology and Hygiene from district schools. . . T.. That Geoggaphy should be taught to every scholar, from oldestto youngest, regardless of text books, beginning with their own township and spreading through adjoining townships, coun_ties. and States. ] | - The following duties were assigned the several teachers to be performed at their next meeting: - Theory and practice, N. Babcock; Reading, Mr. Harris; English Grammar, Mr. Houseman; Arithmetic, Mr. Ohlwine; Geography, W.P. Johnson; Orthography, Mrs. Nellie Couts; Physiology and Hygiene, David Miller; History, Mr: Emnmitt. Beilbinl

On motion, a committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Harris, Shank, Engle, Kirkland and Houseman, was appointed by the Trustee with instructions to investigate and report at some future time as to the best series of text books for common schools. Mr. Houseman was elected permanent President and Norman Babcock Secretary, after which the,Association adjourned to meet at the same place on the second Saturday of January, at 9 o’clock A.»M. N.

The Virginius Sunk.

The Virginius has been removed from the jurisdietion of the United States and Spain by going to the bottom of the Atlantic, off the North Carolina coast, while in tow of the United States steamer Ossipee. As far as can be gathered;from the reticent officers, the two vessels left the Dry Tortugas on the 19thinst. On the 20th a strong gale commenced, and the Virgi nius began leaking badly. On Christmas day her condition was so critical that the Ossipee put into Frying Pan Shoals, of Cape Fear, with her charge and came to anchor. The next morning the Virginius signaled the Ossipee she was sinking. The crew were at once transferred to the latter, the hauser was cut, and the Virginius went to the bottom, leaving only a portion of her main mast above water, which is all of the Virginius that is left to wrangle over. ‘There will be no further proceedings in the case, however, and no attempt will be made to raise the Virginius, as she is comparatively worthless. Very naturally, the suspicion will be raised that the vessel was sunk by design, but thus far there is nothing to confirm the suspicion. The Virginius was in a disabled condition when she was delivered to the United States, and was leaking badly, She was started for her destination at a very inclement season, and along one’ of the roughest coasts in the world.— Chicago Tribune. o i

Crimes on Christmas.

At Riga, 0., two brothers quarreled over the silly question which should load a rifle, and, during the dispute, one of them shot the other. The excited spectators aggravated the crime by hanging the murderer to a tree untilhe was dead. In St. Louis, adrunken driver, the father of six children, killed his wife by striking her on the head with a fence-paling, In Boston, one young German killed another,— his friend and room-mate,—shooting him at first, and, the bullet not accomplishing the deadly work, hacking him to pieces with a hatchet. In Groveton, N. H., while two men were attempting to enter.a disreputable house kept by a Frenchman, the latter and his son and one of the intruders were killed, the other intruder being badly wounded: In Lincoln county, New Mexico, one of those sanguinary: affrays characteristic of the border, o¢curred, in which three men were killed and three or four others were severely wounded. In each of these instances, whisky was the cause of the fatal troubles. In addition to these crimes, a gang of burglars was arrested in Boston, the Sheriff’s clerk and two Deputy-Sheriff’s .in New York were arrested .for the robbery of a wealthy Virginian, a New York merchant fled the city to avoid being prosecuted upon the charge of fraudulent bankruptey, three unfortunate people ‘committed suicide in Milwaukee, and a very foolish young nian, smitten with love, took poison at Elgin, leaving'behind him a love-letter, a lock of hair, a.picture of his inamorata, and some maudlin scribblings. v

DEKALB CouNTY.—Circuit Court was in session all of last week, and wHI probably not adjourn "until the close of this week. Chapman, the freight car thief who would not escape with Plunkett and Sponogle, was sentenced to six months imprisonment inthe county jail. A festive youth named Nelson; hailing from-Concord township, ‘was required to pay: $350, which sum %s to go toward the support of an illegitimate child, said to belong to liim by a fair but frail daughter of the same locality. A continuance was granted in the Hebel nuisance case, and the flood of petty misdemeanors was 80 far swept out of the way, that a little civil business was transacted toward the close of the week.— Waterloo Press, Dec. 25, i e

PArTIES Who file claims against es. tates, should see what disposition is made of their claims before thesecond. term of the court.after filing. 'lf dis. allowed or not allowed by the admin--istrator by that time, such claims go on the Judge’s Docket for- trial gn court. If the party filing the claim is not. then present to te;:fosecnte“hia claim, he will be defaulted, and thrown into the costs, The law does not provide that any notice shall be given the claimant, Every man when he files'a claim or commences a sui ‘must look after his .own interests without notice.—Lagrange Standard. Young men should consult Dr. Todd.

It is a splendidly finished buggy, which can be changed into four different kinds of carriages, and was greatly admired at the Chicago Exposition. The roughs and rowdies of Fort Wayne made a bad use of Christmas. They had two fights, in which one man, Ed. Downey, was stabbed and another, Ira Thompson,shot. Neither is dead, but Thompson’s wound is dangerous. | ‘ Two New Albanians are “lawing” for possession of a hog valued at $3.75. At the second trial of the case, the jury disagreed, although eight lawyers shed light upon the matter. | The costs now ‘aiount to $5OO, besides attorney’s fees. iy : A brute named Laughrey, near Decatur, Adams ecounty, who buys his whiskey: of one Bosse, abuses his wife when drunk most barbarously. The wife sued for damages, and after a week’s trial before a jury she was awarded two dollars. The Decatur Eagle foams with rage at the injustice.

Rev.: MiLToN B. HoOPKINS, State Superintendent of Publie Instruction, strongly advocates the licensing of saloons. The Superintendent argues that if the sale of liquor is permitted at all, the school fund might just as well receive a yearly revenue of $100;000 from that'source. ' Underthe Baxter Law the school fund gets nothing. Mirs. Clark, a widow of New Carligle, St. Joseph county, died on Wednesday of last week of' a broken heart. Two years ago her only son met ahorrible death by being caught in a threshing machine, and about a year ago her only remaining child,a daughter, died, leaving her all algne in the world, since ‘which time she has ‘gradually failed in health. ; : ‘We learn that Mr. Bishop, residing on a farm near the old camp ground, about two miles north-east of the village, while entering his stable last Wednesday night, was knocked down with some blunt instrument, his pockets rifled, and left for dead. He was found next morning abeut six o’clock by one of the family just,inside the stable door, and' was carried to the Jhouse, more dead than alive.—La-

grange I ndependent. L A grand .water-works celebration and test was made at South Bend on Christmas Day, during which addresses were made by the Hon. Schuyler Colfax and others. One of the incidents was to be a contest between Messrs. J. M. Studebaker and Leighton Pine, the former undértaking to eat a lunch while sitting inthe cupola of the Studebaker Works at the depot, while Mr. Pine, with hose attached to the nearest hydrant, would, it possible, deluge him with water. A cow was the forfeit.

By a well set trap consisting of an immense straw ‘'stack built upon a shed, Mr. John Frain, a farmer living about two miles from Winamae, Pulaski county, lost, on Saturday a week ago, fifteen head of fine cattle. The shed was built upon logs driven into the ground, and the straw from eighty acres of wheat was thrown upon it.— The late rains has added greatly to the weight already pressing upon the timbers, and the ground heing soft, caused the shed to settle to one side when the whole came to the ground, erushing the cattle. e |

James Scott is a self-styled oracle of God, and a professed minister of the Mormons, or. Latter-day Saints, and lives in Clark. county, about three miles north of Scottsyille, Floyd county. Since the first of? September last, he has kept his wife confiped in a room from which the fresh air and light of the sun have been almost wholly excluded, by keeping the windows darkened and the doors closed. A number of her relatives being refused admittance, made up a “party and forced their way, when the woman was found in a dying condition. | Medical testimony pronounce Scott, and a son and daughter, demented. - i
