Mr. Hunter may be a very clever gentleman, but we'll wager a bright silver dollar that he won’t be the next Governor. - Mr. Hendricks’ successor -will not be named by the party with which Mr. Hunter afiiliatas.. ¢

Tug Steuben Republican of last week contains several columns of legal advertisements, published at reg‘ular rates. Look out, Bro. McGonigal; some cconomical genius who believes jn conducting the publlshi}_ng business so’as to scarcely “make both ‘ends meet” will come down there and establish an “oflicial organ’ f or' the express purposé of publishing legal advertisements three cents per line below the legal schedule.

THE fight'for United States Senator in Kansas to fill the vacancy caused by Caldwell’s lapse from grace is growing quite lively., The election will take place on the 28th of January, and there are glready about twenty candidates, which goes toshow that the position is still eld in high estirxlﬁlt,iqlﬁ. It-is not improbable that the Grangers and other farmers’ associations,’ who are in the ascend:mcy iil.Kansas; will choose one of their number to succeed Caldwell, '

ADELBERT AMES has decided. to resign his seat in the Senate of the United States and take possession of the oflice of: governor of Mississippi, to ‘which he claims too have been elected for four years. But he has not yet made up his mind - whether he shall

accept the United States Senatorship for anotlier term of six #years from 1875. Thanks to the easy way in which political’ matters are managed in that reconstrueted commonwealth, he has his choice, L .

. A.C. BOTKIN, late oné of the editorial writers for the Chieago Times, has been transferred to ..tlf'm Milwaukee Sentinel, which enjoys the questionable distinction of being Mat. Carpenter’s péi‘smml and political organ. Mat. is a candidate forre-election, and congequently stands in need of a newspaperrial champion. Ile has made his selection fromr very.suitable quarters.— If ¢ne editorially connected with ‘the Chicago T¥mes cannot do a good job either by way of throwing dﬁrt or washing very dirty linen, we don’t think it worth while for Mat. to look around anywhere else. .

SPEAKING of the angry debate in the lower louse of Congress, on the salary grab, the Harrisburg Patriot observes: ““The House was divided into two parties, the one eager to show its deyotion to what it regards as the will of the pegple, the other as ready to evince its contempt for what it pronounces the clamor of ‘demagogues.— The one side affected to regard the other.as a pack of thieves, and the other met them with the retort that they were a set of arrant hypocrites. A close reading of the debate and a careful inquiry into the antecedents of those participating in it, are sufficient to convince one that neither opinion is entirely incorrect.” :

SEVERAL new decisions onthe Baxterlaw are reported by the In(lianapolis Jowrnal. Judge Allison, of the ‘Supreme Circuit Court, has decided “that the-application for a permit to skalf’liquor under the Baxter law mugt be signed by a majority of those who voted at the last election. Judge (Berkshire, of Ripley, had before given ‘ a similar decision. Judge Allison has ©also decided that the judgment of c?nviction‘ of a:violation of the law ig evidence of a forfeiture of the permit, and if, after conviection, the saloon keeper continues to sell under the old » permit, his house may be closed as a nuisance. The first-named decision is all moonshine, as clearly indicated by the Supreme Court some time since.

- 'WE have access to alarge number of county papers of the State of Indiana, -and Imake it a point to give them, generally, an attentive perusal. We are therefore enabled to assert that in not another county in the State is there such a mean spirit exhibited toward legitimate journalism, so far as legal advertising is’ concerned, as is ‘constantly brought-to the surface at the county-seat of Noble. There seems to be a pestiferous clique of “small fry” politicians at that place, who have constituted themselves a smelling committee on public printing, and who make it their special business to raise a howl whenever decent compensation is awarded to a publisher.— These busy-bodies now have an organ, the chief manager of which has latterly achieved quite a reputation on account of his lyrical attainments, 1

Trying to Crawl Out of a Very Small ; ; Hole.. ;

The editor of the New Era, having discovered that he had “got his fooi? in” pretty badly by his fiction relative to the publication’of a legal advertise: ment in the BANNER, makes a desperate effort to -escape from the odium which attaches to his unjust, false and slanderous accus:}'tions. : s ' In his issue of Dec. 25th he asserted positively that there cold have been but two publications of/the advertisemert in controversy, his assertion z.'eaéling as follows: : “Two publication days only, intervened between the issuing of the Notice and election.” -

One week after he modifies this by clumsily ‘asserting: = - “It will be remembered that we did not assert that it was published only twige—but that only two publication days intervened between his receiving it and the election.. This, we felt sure of, because we knew it was not started to Ligonier until Thursday, Sept. 25, and that by course of mail it could not reach there ‘in time for.the regular publication.” ™ . . Now, mark the différence. Dec. 25th he tells his readers that only two publication days intervened between the “issuing of the notice and election,” in. his nlext issue he would have an intel-' ligent public believe that he said no such thing, but averred, “two publicar‘ “tion days intervened between his “(our) receiving it and the election.”— Samuel, thy memory must be weak indeed! : ip e * But we care not which of these conflicting statements he prefers to insist upon as being, genuine. Neither is true in fact. The advertisement itself shows that the notice was issued by Clerk Williams on the 23d day of September—two days prior to the publiGation of ‘the BANNER on the 25th. And we have testimony to prove that a printed copy of the advertisement wag in our possession. on Wednesday evéd)in g, Sept. 24th; that the copy was in the bands of Tom Scanlan (one of bur typos) early Tl'xﬁrshny Inorling; that proof thereof was read by W. K, Sheffer between 9 and 10-o’clock A.M. of the same day, and that J. W. Peters (our foreman) “made up”. the forms cbp’tnilﬁng this advertisement and had the same on press before 11 o’clock A. M. of Septembeir 25th. -‘The silly insinuation tlmﬁ the advertisement | might not have been inserted in the - entire edition of that publication only - evokes additional contempt for the ' man who so recklessly and unjustly assailsthe integrity of his fellow-man. | Cognizant of the weakness of his !posit,ion, Mr. Alvord all at once discovers these important facts to be entirely immaterial pbints. “Immaterial” to. him, beeause detected in a monstrous “whopper.” But we.can’t _permit him to escape thus. - I.ef him stand up as becomes an Thonest man, l and confess the palpable error of his statements. e

ITis twaddle about the law requiring only fifteen days’ notice (or, as he evidently aims to show, two publications) is equally untenable. Had the election proclamation appearéd one week later, the fifteen days’ notice coulnot have been given; hence the necessity of . inserting it in the issue of Bept. 25, Now, the object of the publication _clezu‘l;f is to keep the voters apprised of the pending election. Where, then, can be found another man besides Sam Alvord who would say that the third and most important ‘publication should have been omitted solely and exclusively for the purpose. of saving the county the enormous sum of three dellars and seventy-five cents ? J L ‘:'

But, let us inquire, what has been the custom in regard to the publication of election notices? We have befofe us statemenits from four adjoining counties. The Clerk of I.a Grange county says in that county allowances were made for publications as follows: April election, 1869, 8 insertions ; State election, 1872, 4 insertions; Presidential election, 1872, 3 in;sertions'; Octo* ber election, 1873, 3 insertions. . Col. Tucker, Auditor of Elkhart co., certifies: “Clerk’s and Sheriff’s hotices for holding a general election have been invariably published three conseecutive weeks in this county, since I have held the office of Co. Auditor.”

The Clerk of DeKalb county, J. R. Lanning, Esq,, certifies: “Itis the rule here to publish election proclamations three consecutive weeks before election, and draw pay for same accordingly from the county.” . Capt. McGonigal, of Steuben county, states:. “We: have always published Clerk’s and Sheriff’s notices of election three weeks. 'We cannot get the legal netice without three insertions. Our charge has been $2.75 per square of 250 ems Nonpareil. Gerin Brown, our County Clerk, tells me that this has been the usual custom since he: has been in the Clerk’s office.” We venture the assertion that there is not a county in the State where less than three publications were made and paid for in like cases, and that Samuel E. Alvord stands solitary and alone in the small and contemptible business of throwing dirt at a publisher for taking legal pay for work properly and legally performéd.

THeE EUCALYPTUS 1] TREE, or ague destroyer; of which frequent mention has recently been made in these col-umns,-has been sucecessfully cultivated in California. If a success in that State, why not experiment with it in Indiana? We feel assured that the introduction of the Eucalyptus in this State would be of incalculable benefit to our people. The subject is at least of sufficient interest to entitle -it to public consideration. Will not our brethren of the press give_this matter some thought? - “ ;

SPAIN has just had a little revolution by which the Castellar Government was overthrown, the Cortes dissolved by military force, and Marshal Serrano elevated to the Chief Executive :power. We fear that the Spanish Republic has seen its last days. Serrano is an old monarchist and will direct his efforts toward reestablishing the old Bourbon dynasty.

FRUIT TREE SALES. " Why is it that men who want trees of any and every Kind grown in nurseries, generally manage to give their orders to those they do not know, and in such a manner that, afterward, they gather all conneeted with tree growing and selling in a mass, and call them scoundrels? It is a business in which scoundrels can flourish, it is true, because of the length of time, if trees live, before tlxey{ can be proven, or if dying outright, the wanderer is out of reach. But that there are good and true men eultivating trees for sale and ‘others selling.them, there is no doubt, It would be a vocation standing alone in the world, if it were otherwise.— Generally the purchaser is himself to blame. He hardly makes a bargain in any other matter so loosely, 8o entire1y in the hands of the other party.

- Thesmiling salesman, with his hand laid softly on the shoulder of his listeners, makes them hear his stories of luscions melting fruits, or has their pictures painted up to and beyond nature, or the fruits themselves in pickle and magnified, placed before their eyes until the mouth waters, and the thing is done, It seems tobea fatality with some, to throw away their common sense each time such an one presents himself, while his neighbor trying to do a fair, ;honest thing in the same business, is allowed to eke out the scantiest living.. . e

That class of salesmen are not without their hobby, or specialty, to use as an entering wedge where they could otherwise do nothing. ‘A short time ago men sold near here, peach trees at a high price,-because they were grafted on European stocks and would not winter-kill. Those buying could always -have peaches. The trees were smaller than any honest nursery-man would let leave his nursery, and they are already “numbered with the dead.” ~ Next an*up-land Cranberry 'is sold, and with it, of course, some other trees and plants the purchaser happens tq think he néeds, whilé he is buying.—i The up-land eranberry proves to be a currant, and/one not.as good as are grown and to be sold right-here. : Now appears a man who tells hig wondering listeners how to grow peaches, if they will only buy of him. He talks with such assurance, that many forget that a certain degree of cold which happens here nearly every winter, will kill peach buds, let any man tell what story he will. | Thqy buy, and will find when it is too late, that their money has been frittered away again. - i : - More next week, R

THE PREVALENCE OF AGUE within a large portion of Indiana’s most fertile territory, operates more disadvantageously against the settlement of these districts than any other consideration, It frightens thousands and hundreds of thousands from becoming citizens of Indiana,and annually drives away large numbers of industrious men who would gladly remain could they do so withoutfeopardizinghealth, and life itself. :The Eucalyptus tree is by highvmeélical authority pronouneced a sure{ and infallible-destroyer of malaria. With the statements of scientific gentlemen before us, we have faith that this wonderful tree could be grown in Indiana. At least, sufficient authority has been adduced to warrant an experiment, or to justify our State authorities in authorizing further investigations. The successful introduction of the Eucalyptus would be worth millions of dollars to Indiana. Hence, our people could well afford to expend a few thousand dollars for the purpose above indicated.

Bro. WApsworTn of the LaPorte Argus, Bro. Majors of the Herald, Bro. Chase®of the Elkhart Review; and Bro. Zimmerman of the Valparaiso Messenger, are among those unfortunate individnals who are annually visited by “King Ague.” We know each of these gentlemen would give a round sum to exterminate malarial diseases. This being a fact, will they not unite with us in bringing the question of introducing the Eucalyptus before the people? Detailed statements by scientists may be found in the January number of the “Druggists’ Circular and Chemical Journal.” . ‘

WE HEARTILY concur in the opinion thus forcibly expressed by the Lafayette Courier : “Congress should not be deceived into supposing that the popular demand for the unconditional repeal of the salary law is the mere clamor of thoughtless persons. Such is not the case. The demand comes from deep-seated conviction,}and "is based upon the principle that whena public officer accepts a position at a given salary, he contracts with the pe‘o—. ple to faithfully discharge the duties of his office at the price stipulated, and has no right to take more pay than the original agreement calls for.”

The Logansport Journal says: “The Senate would render the country a service, we believe, by rejecting the nomination of Caleb Cushing as Minister to I‘?‘pain. The administration cannot afford to havean unscrupulous enemy in that position.” An “unscrupulous enemy”—there’s richness for you! Who ever heard of Caleb being the enemy of an administration which gave him office ? : el @ B —————— THE constitution and by-laws of the Perry Farmers’ and Workingmen’s Club will be found entire on our sup‘plement this week, together with explanatory remarks by Secretary Reynolds. Our Indiana exchanges, favorable to the cause, will confer a favor by giving the document a ‘place in their columns. = » e—— 4 Gm—— Aty . Tae unemployed workingmen of New York made an attempt last Monday to get the ear of the municipal authorities, but were not treated as deferentially as their brethren of Chicago. The grievance of the New York malcontents is that the public work is done by contract, and not bty day’s work. About a thousand of them held a mass-meeting, and marched with a committee of five at their head to the City Hall, to interview the Mayor and the heads of Departments, but no one of the city authorities was found to give them audience.

; j STATE ITEMS. o - Aceording to the Noblesville Ledger, they fine a man in Hamilton county, if he is possessed of a bad breath. Hamilton county expects soon to possess a school fund equal to that of the S§abe of Indiana. S ~ The freight depot on the Toledo, Wabash and Western railroad, at Wabash, was destroyed.by fire Tuesday of last week.. All the books, papers and records were lost. . - Most of the freight was saved. { . The town of Mishawaka at last has a sensation, having fallen into the prevalent fashion® of having a defaulterr The gentleman who has been “irregular” is Williamm M. Merrifield, the Township Trustee, who somehow can’t account for $5,000 of school funds.— Like most of the defaulters, he had the confidence of all who knew him and was an estimable man, although this is not much of a consolation to his bondsmen.

The Newcastle Timessays: “We do not hesitate to say that there has been more whisky sold in Henry county during the last threé months than there was during the same time last year. The fact is men are getting drunk all over the country every day. and still there is not a saloon in the county. 'lf the new law is mot about as near what men want who desire to sell whisky without a permit, we are greatly mistaKen.” ; One of our State exchanges says:— ‘We suggest to the: Patrons of Husbandry that they discuss the question of manufacturing cheese. One acre of ground is worth so much. It will preduce so much hay, it exhausts the ground so much. One cow is worth so much; will consume so much grass and hay, will produce so much milk, which - will " produce so much butter and cheese, which will be worth so much. Go on where we leave off; and find the result. Farmers are familiar with the costs of those differentitems, and can make¥he comparisons. We believe, however, that the Grangers will decide that it is .more profitable to manufacture butter at 20 cents,and cheese at 13 cents per pound, than to sell their hay at $l2 per ton, and cows -at 5 cents per pound. ‘Don’t use a hard pencil. .At least that is the advice an Evansville benedict gives his friends. He explains thus: His wife desired him to write a note to alady asking her to meet a party of friends at their house. After “hubby” had done as hig wife desired and started to post themnote, she saw on apother piece of paper an impression of what he had written. It was: “Sweet Mattie, Effie desires your company on Wednesday to meet the Smithety. Dow’t fail to come, and then, my darling, I shall have the hap- - piness of a long.walk home with you, and a sweet good night kiss. 1T dare not see you often, or my all-consuming love would, betray us both. But, Mattie dear, don’t fail tocome.” The wife paid “sweet Mattie” a visit, and the result was that Mattie didn’t accept the kind invitation. W b

' 7 Sentenced for Rape. LAGRANGE, IND,, January 2..-John Thomas, a colored man, was to-day sentenced to seven years’ hard labor in the Penitentiary, for committing rape upon the person of Mrs. A. Nelson, a highly respectable lady of seventy years, last July, in the village of Hawpagch, this county. - 1 The outrage above referred to was committed during the time of the burglary éxcitement of last summer. According to Mrs. Nelson’s testimony, she was subjected to the utmost cruelty —her head being cut with a knife and other injuries being inflicted upon her person. There is little doubt that the negro contemplated murder, and that he desisted only in consequence of his desire to gratify his hellish lust.

THoE LATEST phase of the BeecherBowen scandal is decidedly warlike.— At the Friday evening prayer-meet-ing, Mr. Beec¢her submitted a letter replying to the communication from the Committees of the Church of the Pilgrims and the Clinton Avenue Church, which defines the status of Plymouth Church Congregationalism. Mr. Beecher claims:that Plymouth Church was organized to resist the domination of Congregational clergymen in New York City, and that it is governed by a majority of its members, and will eontinue to be, and therefore refuses to receive any further communications which do not emenate from the entire Congregational brotherhood in convention assembled, or any letter conveying covert insinuations. The letter was accepted by the congregation. 'What ‘action the other two churches will take with reference to this defiance remains to be seen. : —--—«-+i}“—.

THE Executive Committee of the State Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry met in this city last week and laid out the programme’ of work for the current year. Reports from every part of the State represent the order to be'in the most flourishing condition. There are now more than eight hundred regularly organized Granges in Indiana, and the Deputies find themselves busy in instituting new ones every week. Before the spring season sets in this State will be as thoroughly organized as any of the Middle or Western States.—lndianapolis Journal. ;i /

Those who flattered themselves that “Grangerism is about’ played out,” will take due warning from the above. The movement is just beginning to spread. . : o ] < B—— | RATHER ' than censure’ President Grant for his indispensable part in the back-pay steal, the Republicans in the *Ohio House of Representatives have refused toexpress any disapproval of that act. The resolution censuring sCongress for passing the law was re‘ported back yesterday, as ordered by the House, amended so as to include President Grant in the condemnation, and was passed by a strict Democratic vote,—all the Republicans voting against it. . ‘ ,‘ RICHLAND COUNTY, Ohio, is the latest victim of the emotional dishonesty so. fashionable among custodians of public moneyvs. Its Treasurer has fled, leaving his accounts more than a hundred thousand dollars short. ILike all the others, Mr. Rowland was honest, and got into trouble only by obliging his friends with loans of money which did not belong to him. His bondsmen are able to hold the county good against the loss. ’ THE late election in/Texas is invalid, as the Supreme Court of that State has decided that the law under which it was held is unconstitutional. This law directed the polls to be kept open but one day, in contradiction of.the iprovisions of the Constitution, which requires them to be open for four days. Under this decision, the sitting State officers hold over till the Legislature orders a new election in a constitutional manner. ; . Gov. TAYLOR and the other State officers elect of Wisconsin were installed on the Ist inst., at Madison, with the usual ceremonies. The Republicans find themselves dispossessed of the Gubernatorial Chair for the fitst time since 1855; and of the entire State Government for the time since 1859, . i
