The Fatiomal Banney

J. B. STOLL, Editor and Proprietor. LIGONIER IND'A, JAN. 15, 1874, ' CALEB CUSHING is obnoxious tothe Republicans on agcount of his doubttful political status. During the past thirteen years he has been neither .a Democrat nor a Repblican; nevertheless many Republicans believe him at heart a confirmed believer in the doctrine of States rights and otherwise ungound on, gnestions égisixlg under the now order of things.: L S - I 1 is proposed to let the women of Ohio settle the question of woman suffrage for themselves. A resolution has beem offered in the Houde asking the (ﬁonstitutiomyl Convention to submit to the women of the State a separate clause giving them aright to vote. If a ninjority of them vote in favor of it, the clause is to become a part of the Constitution of the State. * Tie strike in the anthracite coal regions, . which has been impending for some time, has begun by the striking of 9,000 miners at Pottsville, Pa., on Tuesday. Thereis a faint prospect “that a'meeting{to e held be"tw‘egnj the operators and he-workingm‘qn on Saturddy next thay settle the differences Letween them; but the probabilities seem to be that the strike will be prolonged into the most stubborn contest ,} ever fought in the coal regions, v e b TrnoveH we have, ever since our residence in this county, been most shamefully and scandalously assailed ~and traduced by‘ the- editor of the I\'@udallvilg) Standard, we have nci_ther disposition mnor- inclination to seek revenge in the hour of his troubles by commenting upon the crime which at this moment attaches to hisofficial skirt. ~We are content with a simple narrative of thé circumstances under which he came to grief. : i G EpiToßs along the Lake Shore & M. S. Railroad are now limited to 2,- - 000 miles travel under the new pass system recently introduced, The pass iy granted on eondition that a certain amount of advertising be done for the company during the year. Every mile traveled is charged to the holder of the ;pass. :If .he tréwels, a greater distance than 2,000 tniles in a whole - year, he has the glorious privilege of purchasing a ticket—just as others do. o R : WE must confess that the ground upon which the ‘ilillth section of the Baxter law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court does not strike us very fayorably. ‘These technical points, it seems tous, are a trifle too ancient to meet with popular favor. - A decision against the Pprovisions of the section itself, if constitutionally objectionable, would have been of some judicial value, but the decision 43 rendered does not come up to that standard, This opinion may be erroneous; nevertheless, we givedt for what it may be worth. S - HAvING become convigeed that the rejection of Attorney-General Williams for the Chief Justiceship was ineyitable, President Grant one day 'l:l[‘s-t week withdrew the unfortunate nomination and imnyediately thereafter sin'prisod_:everybody by sending in the name of Caleb Cushing for that exalted position. Cushing had just heen confirmed as Minister to Spain, and was generally expected to repair. ‘to that country without delay. The republican Senators are highly incensed over Cushing’s appointment, while, the President seems determined that he shall be confirmed or an out-and-out Democrat like Jerry Black receive the nomination. Grant is evidently bentupon revenge for the slaughter of his friend Williams, Unless some concessions. are made on one side or the other, there ig likely to be arow inthe republican camp, :

LATER.— A' “treagonable” letter written by Cushing to Jeff. Davis in 1861 has been -unearthed, and being read -before. a caucus of republican Senators, produced a unanimous vote against Cushing’s confirmation, Grant yesterday withdrew Cushing’s nomination, “Who’s next” is the all-im-portant question. * TS —— . ~ What Others Say. The editor of the New Eva has been trying to make poltitical capital for himself at the expense of Bro. J. B. Stoll. From the remarks made by Bro. Stoll in regard to the matter, our opinion of Era editor is, that with him the end will justify the means, let the means be ever so uncharitable. But what will some men not do these days in order to become popular ?—Stark county Ledgery, : P Sure enough. But, be it remembered, ‘“The best laid schemes o’ mice'and men (}nu‘g aft aglee!” . . Since’ the commencement of the Era’s spiteful accusations we have received a humber of letters from the vicinity ‘of Albion containing assurances tliat the public at large do not approve of Mr. Alvord’s uncalled-for attacks. A few extracts from these letters will suffice: “It ig my opinion that his (Alvord’s) spleeny,.‘polecﬁtish’ accusations are maliciously bapk. ~ed up by G. W. Roof, a blow-gun of very small calibre.”. .. “The public opinion hereabouts concerning this “splurge” is in your favor ten to one.” ....“No fair-minded, unprejudiced tax-payer objects to allowing a publisher or any one else the compensation prescribed by law, and however much Sam may wiggle, he cannot escape the charge of having made a number of very erroneous and unjustifiable statements.”....“The whole tenor of the Hra’s articles indicates that its editor sought this method of ‘venting a long pent-up spite against one for whom he pretended friendship up to a certain time, when rivalry and selfishness seemed to work a wonderful change.” .- . = - Mr. Thurman was, on. Tuesday, reelected U. 8. Senator flj?m Ohio.. J

" POSTMASTER MYERS. . Impartial Statement of His Troubles. The report of the resignation of C. €). Myers as Postmaster of Kendallville, and the causes which led to the same, has excited such. interest throughout the county that we deemed it our duty as a journalist to. proqeed‘ :co Kendallville for the express purpose of obtaining a fair and impartial statement of the facts involved in this case. . ‘ o EXPLANATORY REMARKS. About two years since the government granted permission to the postmasters of the larger towns along the Lake Sliore road to maintain, in addition to the customary daily mails, what is commonly known as a “night mail,” on condition that the Post Office Department be exempted from the payment of any expense for carrying such mail to and from the post office of the town where this arrangement might be introduced. .The cost of such delivery varies from two to four dollars per week, which amounts are usually contributed by those who derive the most benefit from this extra mail.

Prior to the time.that C. O. Myers took possession of the Kendallville Post oflice, Mr. S. J. M. Loomis, merchant, and Bunyan Bro’s, druggists, contributed ~regularly to this mail carrier’s fund; but| being decidedly hostile to his :Ippoil_itment, the members of both these firms declared that inu‘s_nmch‘ as Myers obtained the appointment surreptitiously and contrary to the wishes 'of an overwhelming majority of the pcople, they would cease their contributions, and, so far as they were concerned, perniit him to keep up the night mail as best he could or discontinue it at his peril. | Tt is worthy ofinote that, although* members of the same political party, a veéry bitter feeling has for years existed between the families of Myers and Loomis. As regards the Bunyan Brothers, both prominent Republicans, it may be said that while they'never believed Myers a man possessed of personal or political integrity, they were constant patrons of his establishment until he became Postmaster. : SEEKING REVENGE. o It is conceded by everybody that of all the vindietive spirits of this region, C. O. Myers stands pre-eminent. e has an ungovernable passion for making attacks upon those who decline to associate with him, or accept him as a worthy member of gociety, or as a suitable person to conduct a public newspaper, Ilis friends hoped that, when he beeame Postmaster, he would make an earnest effort to conciliate those who opposed his: appointment; but in this they have been sadly disappointed. lle used the columns of his Standaid,. to denounce these men by inuendos and otherwise, thus widening the breach that has already operated so disastrously against the respublican party of Wayne township.

NOT SATISTIED WITH TIHIS, another plan scems to have been devised for punishing the recalcitrant Republicans who stubbornly refused to become reconciled to Myers’ appointment. The victims selected for this specitic purpose were Loomis and Bunyan Bros.; the plan for, revenge matured thus: The letters, &e., coming through the night mail were withleld until the arrival of the day mails, when they were placed in the boxes of these firms after laying in the Post Oflice nine o 1 ten hours. ¢ PENALTY FOR SUCH OFFENSES: The postal law of the United States provides: - : ~Skc. 145. That any postmaster who shall unlawfully detain in his office any letter or other mail-matter, the posting of which is not prohibited by law, with intent to prevent the arrival and delivery of the same to the person to whom it is addressed, shall, on conviction thereof, forfeit and pay not exceeding five hundred dollars, and be imprisoned not exceeding six months, and he shall be forever thereafter incapable of holding the office of postmaster. _ e SEC. 146. That any person employed in any department of the postal service, who shall unlawfully detain, delay, or open any letter, packet, bag, or mail of letters intrusted to him, or which shall have come into his possession, and which was intended to be conveyed by mail, or carried or delivered by any mail-carrier, mail-messenger, routeagent, letter-carrier, or other person employed in any -department of the postal service, ¥/ * ' gvery such person shall, on conviction thereof, for every such offense, forfeit and pay a penalty of not exceeding five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not ‘ more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the court. |

DETECTED. i Mr. Loomis’ (night) mail-matter seems to have been regularly withheld since the middle of last December. ITe addressed a letter of complaint to the Post Office Department at Washington, but received no answer. Tt appears, however, that the complaint was referred to Special Mail Agents Bringhurst of Logansport, and Knapp of Adrian. The latter took the matter in charge. ~le made repeated trips on the postal car, between Toledo and' Kendallville, carefully marking the letters addressed to Loomis and others, taking dates and making other memorandnms for identification.--These letters were regularly withheld in the manner above stated. SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE having accumulated to conviet the guilty parties, Special Agent Knapp entered the Kendallville Post Office ~on Friday last and asked Mrs. Lisle, an assistant, whether she hadv-any knowledge of letters being withhlbld, to which she replied in the affirmative, . e, she had known of at least two instances. it ; KNAPP’S VISIT TO MYERS' RESIDENCE. ~ Friday evening Mr. Knapp called at ‘the residence of C. O. Myers, and after a brief conversation of a general character, stafed that there were complaints of letters being withheld from certain business men of the town.— Myers promptly declared that there were no grounds for such complaints, in which general denial he was joined by Mrs. Myers. Mr. Knapp repeated that he was so informed by trustworthy persons, and Myers again asserted

the allegation to be without foundation. Mrs. Myers was still more emphatie, volunteering the suggestion that such charges emanated from personal enemies and were intended to bias the public 'against the present management of the Kendallville P. O. Mr. Knapp then brought things to a crisis by declaring in a stern manner ‘that he was in possession of incontrovertible proof that letters had thus been ‘withheld. A painful silence prevailed for several minutes; Myers pale as a corpse, his wife deeply agitated. The affair had assumed a serious aspect, Mr. Knapp explaining the law govem‘ing offenses of this character and the consequences resulting therefrom. - ! A CONFESSION. According to Mr. Knapp’s statement, Mrs. Myers ackngwledged: the withholding of the letters referred to, assuming the responsibility thereof, and assigning as a reason for her conduct that hitter emnity had existed between her own and the family of Mr. Loomis. i i ' THE AISERNATIVE. Mr. Knapp’s explanation of the law in such cases made and provided left 'no doubt that Myers was reduced to the dilemmma of making his choice between two very disagreeable positions, that of ‘resigning his postmastership or placing himself and his accomplice in the custody of an officer of the law. Upon due deliberation, and after having on Saturday forenoon \'isitjed the man whom he had both wronged and reviled—Mr. Loomis—for the purpose of ascertaining “what might induce him (Loomis) to ‘let up’ on this thing,” Myers concluded to tender his resignation, which he placed in the: hands of Mr. Knapp, who left on the 2:10 Special N. Y. Express;—not; however, before giving Mrs. Myers implicit instructions to keep herself aloof from the further discharge of postal duties.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT . i 3 overwhelmingly against Myers.— The only excuse offered forretaining thoseletters is that Loomis and theßunyans did not continue their contributions for carrying the night mails, and that a little girt who was sent to Mr. Loomis on an errand connected with this matter returned to the P. O. crying, and saying that Mr. Loomis had “abused her.” . This Mr. Loomis emphittiqally denies by saying that it was not his habit to thus treat little girls visiting his store. THE, SITUATION. Myers is still in possession of the P. O, awaiting the action of the Department at Washington. Since Saturday several eonsultations have taken place between Myers and the few {riends-who stand by him in this the hour of his adversity. Telegrams and letters have-been forwarded by these to Washington asking for Mpyers’ retention upon the ground that his wife had taken the entire responsibility of: the” offense uport herself and exonerates her husband from any and all knowledge of the withholding of mailmatter passing through the,office. In the mean time all sorts of petitions are being cireulated, while those who are determined that “Myers shall go out” are busily engaged in writing letters to Senators Morton and Pratt, advising them of the people’s demands and otherwise throwing light upon this interesting subject.

Birr Grom, a public spirited, liberal minded, enterprising business man, in Noble county, with his good lpoking picture beaming from the head of a three . column advertisement in. all three of the Noble county papers, is just now getting an undueshare of the largest and most interesting sort of advertising of any other man in the United States, and all on account of a little innocent, good humored puff we gave his likeness in the NATIONAL BANNER. Bill Groh—whom we don’t know from a side of sole-leather—-ought to get an extra cut of his phiz—better than all three of the others—andsend it down to the Goshenw Democrat, with a barrel of his best brown sugar, with a list of his cheap prices of all kinds of groceries, and let us pay for “more sugar” in exhibiting to our readers the best looking and most liberal advertiser in Northern Indiana. Comeé, now, Bill, what do you say to that? It’s a peace offering. It’s an arbitration of the Kilkenny cat fight going on over your likeness. It’s an olive brqnch. It’s a sweet-scented compromLse, and it is the best we can do. - If accepted, harmony will be the result —Bill’s shadow will never Groh less, and we will be tempted to put sugar in our coffee the whole winter through—a thing we never did before, and never would under any other circumstances.—Goshen Democrat. Well said, Bro. Murray. - Bill authorizes us to say that you'shall have both picture and'sugar. s _1

We publish this morning a decision ‘of the Supreme Court-holding unconstitutional the 9th section of the Baxter Temperance law. That section makes intoxication a penal ‘offense, and the Court hold it unconstitutional because it iB' not expressed in the title. Section 9 of Article 4 of the Constitution says: “Every act shall embrace but'one subject, and matters properly connected.: therewith, which subject shall be expressed in the title. But if any subject shall be embraced in an act which shall not be expressed in the title, such an act shall be veid only as to so much thereof as shall not be expressed in the. title,” ! The title of the Temperance law is: “An act to regulate the sale of intoxicating liguors, to provide against evils resulting from the sale thereof,” etc. “ It would seem that drunkenness might properly be classed among the evils resulting from the sale of liquors, but the Court do not so regard it. - If the constitutionalprovision is to be so technically construed, the title of an act, to comply with it, must be as long as the act itself, Judges Buskirk and Downey dissent from the opinion of the Court. —lndianapolis Journal. . e THE GRANGERS in the Missouri Legislature held a meeting last Saturday night, at which, it is said, they resolved to act together as a unit, and regardless of former political ties, on all questions of reform, political or financial. At the same time they put forth a declaration of their principles,. which demand the abolition of the: National Bank system, and the denial of vested rights to railroad corporations. This action of the legislative Grangers is all the more significant from the fact that there are signs that a considerable faction of the State Grangers are in favor of independent political action by the Granges. ; £ ; 4 |

The working-men of New York city were to have held a meeting and parade on Tuesday. They metin Tompkins Square, and becoming rather boisterous, were charged by the police. A fight ensued, and there was promise of quiet aserious riot for a time, but the police succeeded in clearing the streets, and restoring peace. No one was killed but several of the combatants were considerably bruised. The keepers of the Insane Asylum at Ossawatomie, the Kansas town that gave John Brown his nickname, ‘are on astrike. They left just at nightfall, a few days ago. A niamber of maniaes followed the example, but the great majority stayed and made a night of it by smashing the furniture and each other. :The Asylim had to be carried by storm' néxt morning before order could be restored. If this sort of a strike is t 0 become common, the dwellers in Ossawatomie will probably imitate John Brown’s soul and 2o marching along. . * Seven Spanish provinces have been declared in a state of siege. The Carlists have recently captured quite a. number of government troops. The insurgents of Cartagena have surrendered and the place is now in the hands of the government troops. 2,500 of the insurgents escaped in one of the ironclads, but was attacked by the fleet at the mouth of the harbor, and after an engagement of 5011316 length, the vessel escaped to Algeria, when the refuges surrendered to the French authorities. Among those escaping were Gens. Contreras and Galvez, and the other members of the insurgent Junta. - .
