LIGONIER, IND., APRIL 9, 1874, Tue Ohio constitutional convention has voted down @an amendment em- . bodying -the compulsory education scheme. - e — - W — - [T i 8 now proposed to distribute the i colored troops among the whites in » - thearmy upon a footing of equality, . breaking up the heretofore separate torganizations. - This is a piece of mosaic statesmanship that will not bear

the strain of adoption. Sueh meddling will'work injury to both black and white soldiers.

Tie “tidal wave,” over which the republican Dbrethyen made so much sport two years ago, seems to have set in at last, New Hampshire and Connecticut have spoken in tones of thunder. Do you recognize the hand-writ-ing on'the wall, Messrs. Republicans ?

Tue daily ballots for a sueccessor to the late Senator Summner furnish no indication of an’early choice. With the exception of an occasional change of two or three votes, the candidates maintain about the strength with which they started out at the comitencernent of the balloting.

(BvERY fraudulent measure in Congi‘ess which inflates the volume of ~ irredeemable paper promises to pay increases the cost of the necessaries of life for every poor working man, while, . stimulating speculation in unsubstan-| tial projects that add nothing to the' ~ wealth or prosperity of the country. i eo Ao i i § IT is again reported that Sceretary - Richardson will retire and become a @ partner in the banking house of Monroe & Co., London and New York.— © Whenever a man has acquired sufficient experience in mismanaging the ~finances of the United States, he is thought to have qualified himself to conduct the business of a private banker. ' . i ; e o rw— Tue forty-four million inflation ~ fraud has been received with the liveAliest gratification by the gold gamblers of Wall street, New York. Under the ~prospect of the speedy- passage of the - bill the premium on gold is steadily rising with eéach day.. This the ba‘rometer with which the advocatés of inflation can test the effects of their - latest experiment in converting paper into money. ;

I~ his message to Congress President Grant recommended a speedy resumption of specie payments, and deplored the evils arising from an irredeemable paper currency. The republican party in Philadelphia in 1872 pledged itself in its national platform to restore the currericy to a specie ba-

sis. Will President Grant make good his declarations by vetoing the bill which increases the inconvertible currency to the extent of $44,000,000, and postpones indefinitely the day of resumption ? -

It un'l‘ortuna.tely' turns out that the falling off in the revenue from distilled spirits in some of the western States was not owing to the women’s temperance movement, as asserted, but to extensive whisky frauds. The theory that the sudden and remarkable diminution of receipts arose from decrbased consumption in consequence of the temperance agitation was not accepted by the authorities, and on investigation they have discovered thetrue cause to ge fraudulent rectiticutiiofflff*a’iad alteration of the rectifier’s Sfamps. : ;

. AMONG the amendments adopted by the Michigan Legislature, to be ratified or rejected by the people, are the following clauses affecting women :— A woman'’s private property shall remain hers after marriage. Any property she acquires after marriage shall also be entirely hers. Her husband shall not be liable for her debts before marriage, nor for those contracted by her in relation to her sole property after marriage. Women shall be eligible to the office of register of deeds and notary public, to those connected with schools and libraries, and to any others hereafter designated by law.

Bro. PowgLL, President of the Northern Indiana Editoria] Association, announces in a circular that for various good and valid reasons he has taken the responsibility of postponing * until the first oé next June tlie semiannual meeting which, under the constitution, was to be held to-morrow. ~ This action of Mr. Powell suits us in several particulars, to wit: We have not yet sufficiently recovered from our ‘recent illness to warrant a trip to LaPorte; business engagements at pres- - ent demand our yndivided attention; and, last but not least, a meeting in June will affgrd a much better oppor- = tunity for enjoyment and recreation than could possibly be expected at the immediate present. i

THE SPY SYST\EJM, of which mention has heretofore been made in these col~umns, is at present undergoing con--gressional investigation. Sanborn and other spies in the internal revenue service fleeced merchants and railroad corporations in' a most shameful manner, thereby enriching themselves at ~an astonishingly rapid rate. Startling developments have already been made, with a fair prospect of.others adding still more to the infamy of these au- ; iac'ious scamps. As usual, Ben Butler had a hand in these operations.— A few days ago that prince of corruptionists assured the examining committee that he was in no wise connected with Sanborn as counsellor or advisor, but day before yesterday Mr. Sanborn swore to precisely the opposite. Besides being a very talented rogue, old Ben thus démonstrates that he is also a first-clags liar, '

THE APRIL ELECTIONS.

Following the example of New Hampshire, the people of Connecticut last Monday entered an emphatic protest against the course of the dominant party by re-elécting the Democratic‘Liberal State ticket by increased majorities. Complete returns give Gov. Ingersoll a plurality ‘of 6,742 over Harrison (Rep.) and a majority of 1. 897 over all competitors—Republican, Temperance and scattering. The Legislature contains 11 demoecratic majority in the Senate and about 40 in the House, insuring the election of a democratic successor to Mr. Buckingham in the U. S. Senate, whose term expires next March. A democratic U.S. Senator from Conneeticut is something of a nove}ty, and plainly indicates which way the wind is blowing. Municipal elections were held in all the cities and towns in Ohio—the State in which Dr. Dio Lewis inaugurated the great temperance erusade. As might reasonably have been ex‘pected, the liquor question’ was gener'ally made an issue. The result was a 'general defeat of the Republicans wherever there was a party contest, and in the large towns and cities a de- | feat of the temperance candidates.— Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton rolled up rousing majorities against the republican party. In Illinois, lowa and Michigan the local elections resulted equally disas- | trous to the Republicans. Wherever | party was made an issue, or where the | Republicans united with the temper- { ance people, the Opposition came out of the contest with flying colors and completely “snowed under” their opponents. j ~ It is well said by the Chicago 7'ribune that “the general lesson taught by the April elections'is that the Republican party has received a premonitory stroke of the general paralysis that it will experience- in November, 1874. Its discomfiture is inevitable. It is stripped of the allies by whom it has been kept in power. It is abandoned —as in Connecticut-—by the disgusted people, who have tired of its corruptions. It is left to its fate by every man who feels the rigor of taxation and the extortion of the f)lunderers, and its end will be accomplished in the fall by the great body of the agriculturists. ' But the victors must have spme cohesion and organization to carry out the reforms sought in the “change. Something' more is wanted than the mere subs¥tution of one set of officeholders for another.”

The breaking up of all.corrupt combinations should be the first object of every good citizen. That done the consolidation of all anti-corruption elements will be an easy ‘task. The out-look at present is all that the most §anglfine friends of ‘reform could expect. Ll

A GOOD- MAN DEPARTED -ABRAHAM 5 PANCAKE., . ‘‘Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part, there. all the honor li}e)s." 2 —Pope.

Abraham Pancake was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, not far from Cirecleville, on the sth day of March, 1808, He was married in 1833, and the year following emigrated to Noble county, Indiana, where he entered 160 acres of land, adjoining Ligopier,on the north, and where he continued to reside up to the day of his death, on the 3d inst. At that early day Noble county was an unbroken wilderness, inhabited principally by savages and wild beasts. Heére he eérected a rude cabin, and commenced a life of toil and danger. Like 'the Pilgrim Fathers of old, it was necessary in that day to carry the gun with his ax, or other implemeént of Tabor, when he went forth to his toil, and when he laid his liedd upon his “nightly pillow, it was with his trusty firelock conveniently at hand, that there Imight be safety for him and hig, should the wild war-whoop of the savage Indian break upon his slumHers o 1 :

The heavy timber which, at that time, covered his land soon melted under the blows of his sinewy arms, leaving broad, fertile fields where once stood the mighty forest. . .. :

On the first Monday in May, 1836, the first:election ‘was held in Noble county, - Father Pancake was a member of the board of inspection at that election. Inthose primitive days King Caucus had. not yet assumed the prerogative, and hence it was no surprise to any to find after the ballots were counted out that Father Pancake (in conjunetion” with ‘Joseph Bristol and Henry Hostetter, Sr.,) was elected one of the'commissioners for the county. It was indeed a great surprise to himself, and illustrated a principle rare in these days, that the office seeks the man, and not the man the office. :

As such comiissioner, he assisted, among other things, in naming the townships of the county. In fact, Father Pancake christened every alternate towmship in the county, and hence we have such histrionie names as Washington, Perry, York, Jefferson, Green, and Wayne. Subseéquently he held for several years the office of Trustee for Perry township. He was also largely instrumental in securing the location of the air-line division of the L. S. & M. 8. railroad through the northern townships of this county. In May, 1851, after eighteen years of happy wedded life, his wife died, leaving him ten small children, six of whom are still living. ' In August, 1852, Father Pancake married Mrs. Emily Johnson, who survives him, and by whom he had four children, three of whom are yet living.

In 1850, the subject of this memoir was elected by the people of Noble county as a Democrat to represent the County in the State Legislature. . Although a Democrat from his cradle to his grave, he was not a partisan. His heart was too large, his humanity too broad, and his philanthropy too universal for a partisan. He labored earnestly and zealously for friend and foe alike. The law of truth, fairness, and equal justice to all, was the law of his conduct, public and private. During his .term of service as a legislator, Northern Indiana had no rights which the southern and middle por~l tions of the State felt bound to respect ;

yet in spite of the advantages which wealth, numbers, and a long lease of ‘power gave to them, the energy, firmness and good humor of Mr. Pancake secured to his constituents many valuable, and hitherto denied, rights.

But it was in his eharacter as a man and brother that Father Pancake’s life shone out pre-eminent.

None knew him but to love him. He was the perfect embodiment of gentleness, amiability, and good nature, and yet his was a positive nature, of such a character, however, as not to give offense, but rather persuade by kindness.. He was generous to a fault; charitable to a degree that was bounded only by his ability, and with affections tender as a woman'’s.

To every public enterprise he gave liberally of his means, time, and labor. He seemed to revel in the happiness | of a]L around him, and to a‘ppreciate that life’s great mission consisted in making others happy. His habits were simple, his manners and disposition democratic, his style of living plain but substantial. Averse to idleness and dissipation, he strove earns estly to inculcate in the minds of all with whom he came in contact, by precept and example, habits of industry and temperance. As a peacemaker he was eminently -successful, and he labored diligently on all [’ occasions to heal the heart-burnings existing between neighbors. i In all his dealings with his fellowmen [ie personified the truth of the saying—“An honest ma-ri is the noblest work of God.” He was éver honest, candid, and straight-forward. ’ Father Pancake was not religiously a memher of"mly church or sect, but he was, in its fullest sense, a believer in the divinity of the Bible—the existence of a God—and whatever may have been his peculiar belief on religious topics of a doctrinal character, at, heart and in his life he was a child of God and lived religion. - - “For modes of faith let graceless zealots tight, g His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.” He was ever giving the eup of cold ‘water, and verily he shall receive a righteous man's reward. ' His death has cast a gloom of grief over this entire community, and wherever and by whomsoever Father Pancake was known, the announcement of his decease will cause the “tear of sympathy to unbidden start, in tribute to his memory.” “He is dead yet liveth” in his imperishable example: The good never die; tothem belongs endurable immortality; they perish not upOn the earth, and they exist forever inheaven. The good of the present live in the future, as the good of the past are here with us, and in us to-day. : ‘ ‘ ~Father, Brother, Friend, farewell! } Peace to thy ashes! ,

- COFFROTH AND THE CRUSADERS. 'ln the Sentinel’s “reflex of the Indiana press,” we notice this paragraph: The Hon. John R. Coffroth Iras been retained as legal counsel of the women of Lafayette in their crusade. He said in a speech at one of their meetings last week: He would rather be a dog and eat the crumbs that fall “from ¢he table of the ladies engaged in this work than be a bar-tender in the most elegantly gilded saloon in the city. This drew forth immensé applause. -IHe assured the ladies theirs was no easy task and they must calculate on much hard work -and many discouraging circumstances, .but if they stood firm and ‘had true hearts they could not fail; they were bound to win. But should: they fail ultimately, which was hardly possible, they would fail in a good cause as many had done before them. ' We know very well that when the Hon. John once concludes to champion a cause he “goes it” with.all his might, and is never very particular as to the statements passing from his eloquent lips. " In faet he is slightly inclined to “slop over.”. We also chance to know-that although Jehn is capable of making a very fine temperance speech, hie does not in reality view the bar-tender .of an elegantly gilded saloon with the contempt which he affects in his public harrangues. The facts- are, John has too exalted an opinion of the Rhine and the Moselle to make a first-class tee-totaler

Notes from the National Capital. . General Van Buren, charged by Secretary Fish and Minister Jay with having sold out the United States at the Vienna Exposition, and having made large profits off the booth stands and soup shop proprietors,-has been investigated. He stands forth a “vindicated” hero. -

The thieves who compose the District of Columbia ring are filled with ’consterxiatiox} at the thoroughness and earnestness of the investigation. Failing ‘to laugh the charges away, they then adopt the bully tactics, but that too availed nothing with the committee. "The scalpel of :thorough investigation is causing them to squirm and writhe like an excoriated eel. L Senator Thurman’s amendment to the Currency bill to*appreciate the value of greenbacks by making them legal-tender, in part for custom dues, has been rejected by the Senate. His proposition was that they be accepted for one-twentieth for the next fiscal year, and so on inereasing proportion. It was voted down on the ground that, appertaining to the revenue, it should originate in the House. o There was no vote in the House of Representatives last Tuesday on the currency question. The endless chain of debate took a few additional turns and the House adjourned. Mr. Eldridge reiterated his previous statements- that the Supreme Court had been packed to get the decision affirming the validity of the Legal-Tender act. E. Rockwood Hoar, who was the President’s adviser in the selection of Judges Strong and Bradley, replied vehemently that they had been chosen for their fitness, and without knowledge of their opinions on the subject. He stigmatized Mr.: Eldridge’s charge as a slander. What a reception the Senate bill will have in the House cannot be foretold till next Tuesday, before ‘which time it eannot come up.

THE SOLDiER BOYS. % The Grand Reunion of Northern Indiana Volunteers at Fort Wayne. A Magnificent Banquet in the EvenW : ing. e e - Fort. WAYNE, IND.,, April 7.—The first reunion of the volunteers of Northern Indiana who served in the late war, hiere to-day, has been a grand and gratifying success. ‘ Early this morning delegations from places in'all points of Northern Indi“ana, commenced pouring into the cityon every-train, until the streets were thronged and nearly impassable. " All the public buildings, stores, and a large number of private houses, were deecorated with flags and banners, bearing appropriate mottoes. : , Salutes were fired at sunrise, midday, and sunset. At 1 o’clock the immense concourse formed into battalions, and marched through the streets, bearing the battle-torn flags and accompanied by several bands of musie, to Colerick’s Opéra House, which was not large enough to hold one-third of the soldiers present. The building was crowded from floor to gallery, and hundreds of boys were unable to obtain admittance.! :

Accqgrding to the programme, a National afr was given by the New Haven band. Col. Humphrey, presiding, introduced Rev. Dr. Stone, who, after reading a short passage eof Seripture, offered prayer in behalf of the reunion and those engaged in dementing the friendshipg formed in the tented field and ami(jl_f-ghe carnage of war. e " Col. Zollinger, Mayor, on behalf of Fort Wayne, tendered the hospitalities of the ¢ity and citizens of the city to visiting delegations. Next-on the programme was the organization, which was done by acclamation. As each party was named, they were received with intense enthusiasm. The following oflicers for the ensuing year were elected: President, Col. Humphrey, of Fort Wayne; Secretary, Col. Dodge, of Warsaw; Treasurer, Col. Zollinger, of Fort Wayne. : Gen. Thos. M. Browne was then introduced, and received with three rouing cheers, and he proceedéd with the oration of the day, which, from the time being far spent, had to be curtailed. lle commenced by recounting the vicissitudes during the war, the bravery shown and the glorious victory obtained at the battle of Shiloh, of which this day was the anniversary. He spoke in a masterly, earnest and impressive manner. He spoke very highly of those men’s courage who en-dured-not only the violent tempest of Confederate shot' and shgll, but also the war of elements, without a murmur or once getting disheartened.— The speaker was frequently interrupted by long and loud cheers, whenever he spoke of the great events of the great battle of Shiloh. : About the middle of the speech, old Gen. Willich, of Ohio, entered the house, and was received with six rousing cheers, and took a seat on fthe platform.

Gov. T. A. Hendricks then took the stand, and made a very effective speech, recounting the numerous battles in which the troops of Northern Indiana had so signally distinguished themselves, and conferred honor both to the State and the country at large. lle said he thanked themin behalf of the State of Indiana, of which he had the honor of being the chief executive officer, for their effort in behalf of the liberty and union of this great and glorious country. Gov. Hendricks was listened to with great-attention, and was often interrupted by ringing cheers of applause. i i General Gibson; of Ohio, followed, making a lengthy speech, which was indeed a master-piece. The applause was fréequent. ‘ : o General Willich, of Ohio, followed in a short speech, after which the meeting adjourned to meet at eight o’clock P. M., at the rink, for ‘a magnificent banquet. ' ; The banqueting room, the largest in the city, was beautifully decorated with evergreens, flowers, battle-worn flags, and appropriaté mottoes. The bafiquet passed off finely, all enjoying themselves. . T The first toast was to the President of the United States, and was enthusiastically received. The toast to the yemory of Abraham Lincoln was taken in-silence and standing. A large number of other toasts were drank ‘with great gusto. : : This may be called a gala day for Fort Wayne. Great fears were entertained early in the morning that the day would be rainy, but before 9 o’clock the clouds had passed away, leaving a bright, beautiful and spring-like day.

Indiana Crop Reports. - Kosclusko CounTty.—The Warsaw Indianien says: In view of the threatened disaster to the growing wheat, it is cheering to know that there has not been for years a better prospect for fruits or all kinds. We have been told by farmers who have made careful examination that they have as yet been unable to find a single peach blossom that has been injured, and the same can be said of apples, pears and the smaller fruits. In this respect, the prospect is.cheering, and if we have a good peach ecrop it will: be the first of mueh consequence, for years past.... Farmers with whom we have conversed, éxpress the gravest fears that the wheat. crop in :this section of Indiana, will prove a very light crop. It looks very poor and thin, especially on clay grounds, where it is predicted it will be a total failure. WaßAsH.—The Free Trader says: The wheat in this section looks very unpromising, and will evidently not make more than a half crop. There was but little snow during the past winter, and by the continued freezing and thawing, wheat on clay soil suffered 'severely. The prospects for a clover crop are gloomy indeed, the old “stand” being with but few exceptions frozen out. HowAßD.—The peach crop in this countyis very-promising. From present indications the yield will be larger than for many years past—Kokomo Democrat. : Ahaee

BLUFFTON, Ind., April 5—A brutal murder topk place in this place last' night, which caused the greatest excitement. A party of roughs were in the last remaining saloon playing billiards. They got into a dispute which caused a bloody row. During the melee, a respectable farmer named Philip Jones attempted to step it, and one of the roughs struck him in the head with the butt-end of a cue, splitting his iskull open and rendering him insensible. While unconscious, one of the roughs kicked him brutally in the face. The murderers made good their, escape, but they will no doubt be ar-. rested.

The Methodist Conference---Annual Report by the Elder of the Goshen District.

On the second day of the Methodist Conference, which assembled at Fort Wayne on the Ist instant, Rev. 0. V. Lemom, Presiding Elder'of the Goshen District, which is comprigsed of ILagrange, Elkhart, St. Joseph, Kosciusko and Noble counties, reported theirs the smallest and most compact district im» the conference. last yvear Albion had been left for the speaker to fill. He had chogen an excellent man, Brother Graham, to fill the place. There are no other changes in the district. All the ministers have worked together harmoniously, pleasantly and successfully., There have been two sessions of the District Conference and one Ministerial Association meeting during the year. ' All the varied and important interests of the church have been carefully looked after. In Goshen there has been a decided increase in the number of members, and in spirituality. . The contributions had diminished, owing to the fact that a new church—to rank with the best in the Conference—was being erected, at a-cost of $lB,OOO to $25,000. Mishawaka—lncrease of members fifty per cent; small increase of probationers; spirituality rising; collections falling; new church building being erected, to cost $30,000. Elkhart—General condition better than for some years past: wanted the next conference there. Elkhart Circuit—Fair prosperity; increase of membership and co‘llectipns about forty per cent; small decrease of probationers. Middlebury—Rising all the year; increase of members and probationers; spiritual condition improved three hundred per cent; church improvement in progress. Lima Circuit—A good year; large revivals; church debt provided for. Van Buren Circuit—Stationary; fair. ~]{.a-g;~a.nge —%Xolerable. Wolcottsiille——-N ot very well. Albion Circuit — Prospering. Ligonier—Flourishing. New Paris— Rising. Wawaka—ln bad shape last vear; much improved now. ‘Milford— Small and weak; good pastor; church been repaired. The collections in the district have advanced little or nothing. The pastors had done their duty, but had not sufficiently urged the committees appointed at the District Conference.
