It is a gratifying fact that a decided majority of the most influential and ablest daily papers freely express their opposition to the civil rights bill passed by the Senate. The measure is generally denounced as one fraught with great danger to the common sc¢hool syétef?. 14 L ‘ L ;T e — b PoririciANs from all parts of the State appear to- have urgent business at Indianapolis at this time. A good deal of wire-working seems to be going on at the capital preparatory to the assembling of the several State conventions which will be held during the present and coming month.

— - — Rev. JL\RN’JES—!. SEARS, who is the custodian of the Peabody schoelifund in the South,is exerting all his influence against the passage of the civil rights bill by the lower house of Congress, asserting that it will undo the educational work so well begun in the South. This is the opinion of all candid men who are rtot interested in the control of negro votes. : o

CAPT. BARNEY B. DAILY, of Delphi, is understood to be a candidate for Attorney General, subject to the decision of the Democratic State Convention. Daily, it will be remembered by some of our Noble county readers, delivered a speech at Albion during the presidential contest of 1872. He is an dactive worker in the party harness and is considered a“bully boy” on the rostrum. : T

PERSONS contemplating a voyage on the ocean will not regret. to learn' that a fierce rivalry has sprung up between several of the European steam-ship companies in carrying immigrants. The lowest rate on record is that of the Guion line, whose steamer Nevada brought a number of Mormon immigrants to the port of New York on Friday a week ago for $l3 a head., At that rate we wouldn’t mind to take a ride ourself. :

Bro. BAKER, of theWhitley Commercial,should not attach too much importance to the opinion 6f Attorney Gen’l Denny in relation to the qualification of signers-of petitions for permits to sell liquors at retail. The Supreme Court takes quite a different view of the real meaning of that particular section of thes Baxter law, as does every lawyer whose opinion is entitled to weight in 'determining ‘knotty’ questions of law. = - .

.. SlMs MAJOR, of the LaPorte Herald, is mentioned as a possible’ republican candidate for-Congress from the new Eleventh District. Sims may not be as good a public speaker as some of the gentlemen named in the same connection, but a somewhat intimate knowledge of the man enables us to assert that he, would take more pains to study the wants of the people and

to vote correctly than perhaps any other Republican in that District,

Tne Huntington I)emocmt,‘spezikin g of the proposition to raise the license fee for the sale of intoxicatingliguors in cities, arrives at this conclusion: “The whisky now sold is villainous enough, and if saloon men must pay higher license fees they will get cheaper and more atrocious stuff, still, to make up for the' license imposition, and the drinker must in the end pay for it. Rather put the license fees down, and compel dealers to sell pure liguors.”

A DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION occurred on the 25th of May in the town of Independence, Towa. Mayor Roszell a few days since addressed a letter to the Chicago 7'7ibune in which he says: “Our city has met with a calamity fully equal in proportion to that which befell (thicago a fow years ago. Nearly the whole business portion is destroyed. Loss fully $500,000. Insurance probably $200,000. Sspring trade was just opening, and all our merchants carried, therefore, heavy stocks, with comparatively light insurance. Many are despondent, but the general feeling is to rebuild at once and go on with business. Much will depend upon the action of creditors and others. We have received already letters a‘.m!l telegrams from Chieago and other places, with offers of aid and sympathy. But few dwellings were burned; therefore there will be but little personal suffering.”

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL VS. FREE SCHOOLS, _The iniquity of the ecivil rights bill which passed the Senate was pointed out in our issue of last week. A few observations on the practical workings of that measure may serve as an addition to what has already been said in these colums. ) |

We have already stated that the ablest and most influential journals.of the country emphatically condemn the revolting features of this flagrant assault upon the tastes and inclinations of the white people. They interpret the main purpose of this measure as an attempt to enforce social intercourse and companionship between the races. The rights of citizenship which the constitution confers on the calored men of the country are not enough il‘x.'thg vieyv of the radieal leaders, but social equality in the schools, in the hotels, in the theatres and everywhere elSe, are to be enforced by congressionalenactment. Separate schools for theeducation of whites and blacks are forbidden under heavy penalties.

The radical advocates of this measure, argues one of our ablest exchanges, thus propose to trample out the prejudices and social instincts of the poor men of the country, of its farmers, mechanies and laborers. Prejudices of race are luxuries in ‘which the rich only can indulge. The rich may send their children to private schools, or foreign universities, and thus escape the practical effect of this enactment. But the workingmen of the countiy, they who support the common schools by heavy taxation, must conquer their social feelings, and herd their children with blacks in mixed schools, or lose the educational advantages of the system. In some of the States the effect of the measure will be to drive the -white' children .from the common schools, or break up the system, and thus in the end inflict a substantial injury on the colored people for whose benefit this measure is pretended to be introduced.. It hasits origin rather in a spirit of malignity towards the white people of the South whom its authors are resolved to still-further humiliate and degrade, and in contempt of the poor men of the North who are to be driven by law, themselves and their children, into a Levolting social companionship. But the rich are practically exempt from the conditions of the law. Their wealth will secure them the advantages of separate schools.i Should the poor people in the cities and towns most affected by this enactment refuse to make use of the common schools under its degrading conditions, the next step will be a compulsory education agt such as has been attempted in several of the State Legislatures. llnthe opinion of the republican leaders of the Senate, the prejudices against the social intercourse of the races must be stifled in the breasts of the poor men of the country at least. Such sentiments are only for those who can affdrd to gratify them. dhe . Instead of serving the insterests of the colored people, this bill will only engender ill feeling between the races, while it . will not be in the power of Congress to enforce it agginst public sentiment. In many States the colored people have hitherto enjoyed the: full benefits of the common school system. Where they are in sufficient numbers; they are provided]with competent teachers. Where such is not the case,they are admitted to the white schools without question or objection. The effect of this interference on the part of Congress will be therefore to produce trouble and resistance where harmony and good feeling have prevailed. When toolate those who have insisted on this measure will discover that they have committed a great mistake. They are in the enjoyment of all the rights which ' white citizens possess, and this insistance on special privileges in violation of deep-seated feeliligs of race, which no law can root out, will produce a reaction that cannot fail to retard the growth of sentiments of good will, and thus inflict on them severe injury.

CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST. A number of republican papers now concede that -conferring the right of suffrage upon the ignorant negroes of the South has wrought incalculable mischief and serious injury to the whole country. They now suggest the propriety of establishing an educational qualification; i.e., permit no man to vote unless he can read and write. If the republican party had coupled such & proviso with the 15th amendment, South Carolina would not now be a bankrupt commonwealth, Louisiana not in a state of anarchy, and political debauchery not so generally prevalent. Then was the proper time to guard against ignorance becoming a power in the government.— But demagogues of the Morton stripe needed more votes to keep themselves in power, and it made precious little difference to them how and from whence they were obtained. Our political system might be corrupted and filled with the virus of certain destruction,—the ends were made to justify the means. A few years sufficed to verify the predictions of true, sincere advocates of a sound government, and what was once lauded as a’ grand achievement, is now freely admitted to be the most disastrous blunder of the present age. And,’it must be borne in mind, the people are just beginning to realize the enormity of the nation’s stupendous folly, A few years more will demonstrate that making voters of the raw cotton-field hands of the South was the greatest curse which could possibly have been visited upon this country. i

PATCHING UP A NEW STATE. If anything were needed to demonstrate the utter recklessness of the dominant party, proof abundant might be furnished by citing the action of the lower House of Congress in deciding by a vqte of 160 to 54 to make a State of the Union out of New Mexico, whose inhabitants are not sufficient to entitle them to one representative in Congresss But a small portion of the inhabitants speak the English language. The main body of the inhabi-

tants consists of Spaniards, Mexicans, | half-breeds, forse-thieves and Co- | manches. Thwe jg g 0 little use "fork English in the te\l)itery that the pro- | ceedings of the Leégmiature are con- | ducted and publisked in bad Spanish. But New Mexico is to be admitted to \ the Union with-a voice as potential in | the Senate of the United States as that 1 of either New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois. Two or three Indian agents who have enrighed themselves with the plunder ofF the poor savages are longing for seats in the Federal Senate, They will be able to make -the purchase from the-half-breed representatives at a very low figure, and thus make up for the losses sustained by the republican party in Connecticut, California, and other States whose people have turned in disgust from an organization whose leaders shrink from no act for the aggrandizement of their selfish interests and their iniquitous designs.

PROTECTION ON WINE. ; Cofigressman Luttrell, of California, made a five minute speech the other day in support of his demand for a protective duty of 60 cents per gallon on imported wine. Ie ha(l the assurance to make this demand in the face of this self-condemning statement:' : i

! “We in California can produce all the wines needed for the consumption of this country. We have 14,000,000 acres of land well adapted to the growing of grapes. We can produce upon those lands 600 gallons to ‘the acre, and we do produce in that proportion; while in Europe they produce only 160 to 200 gallons per acre; and this is their production in only one crop out of three, while our crop never fails.” : Here is a representative of the people,and an avowed free-trader at that, who shows that California can produce 600 gallons of wine to the'acre against 200 in Europe, and then coolly: asks for’ the enactment of o law to “protect” the interests of American vintners against the competition of Europeah vintners whose crop fails in everyi two years out of three! Verily, such barefaced inconsistency, such insatiable greed, such degmding subservieney to the demands of monopolists,almost forees the conviction upon one’s mind that the sole object of inveking legislative enactments is that of filling the bottom-less pockets of the few at the expense of the many.

. THE MENNONITE COLOI‘{ISTS. According to late foreign intelligence, there is cause -to apprehend that the immigration of the Russian Mennonites to Dakota territory and other portions of the West may be frustrated. It!\s@ems that the Russian government has become alarmed concerning the threatened loss of 'so valuuable a portion of the population of the empire, and lias sent to them General Todleben, the celebrated defender of Sebastopol, to effect a compromise, Gen. Todleben is authorized to stipulate that the military laws of the Russian -empire shall be mitigated in deference to their religious: opinions.— They shall not be required to perform active service in the field, but the recruits furnished by them shall be emp‘l"oyed- in the military hospitals. What effect this offer will have remains to be seen. An advance party of the Mennonites has already arrived in New York, and it is probable that their arrangements for emigration from the Crimea are already so far completed that they cannot abandon them. In that case Russia will lose and the United States will gain a col--ony of industrious, order-loving, and “virtuous inhabitants whom any country might be glad to welcome.

NONSENSE AMONG THE DOCTORS. We notice in the published proceedings of the Indiana Medical Association, which met in the city of Indianapolis a short time since, the adoption of a resolution of censure against Dr. Samuel Irwin, of Crawfordsville, because he had adyvertised his business and had held consultations with physicians who did not beldng to the regular profession. "We concur in the opinion expressed by the Kokomo Democrat that “medical associations are unduly sensitive on this question of advertising. Just why a physician who devotes himself to a special line of practice should not be a_lloweq to advertise his serviee, is too subtile reasoning for our comprehension. It is a nice discrimination the rhedical faculty make between itself and the other profession in regard to advertising.” Yes, and further shows that the oldfogy, stand-still, stiff-necked element is very largely represented in these gatherings of an honorable and useful fraternity. _

i SOME FIGURES, o We'invite the attention of the antisecret society party to a_few figures that appear in the p?oceedings of the State Grand Lodge, 1. 0. O. F., which met at Indianapolis two weeks since. There are 321 effective’ lodges in the State, with 23,160. contributing members. The work of these men is indicated in the annexed table: 5 Paid for relief of br0ther5..Z......_....820,935 76 Relief of widowed fami1ie5............. 4.373 70 For educating 0rphan5................. ' 621 78 For burying tbelél)ead....'.. Yadv it B Eor other charitable purp05e5.......... 3,995 60 Total for reliet:and CHArity . 00l 555—,55% It occurs to us that an Order which expends $35,558.76 in a single year for relief and charity is not such a dangerous institution as Kiggins, Hiatt, McConnell & Co. would have the people of Noble county believe, and that it is hardly in order for a “christian brother” like Rev.( ?) Leuty to supplicate the Almighty that members of this order be sent to “their native hell,”

J. EpGAR THOMPSON, for many years President of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, died in the city of Philadelphia on Thursday last. Tt is generally believed that Col. Tom Scott, Vice President of the company, will become Mr. Thompson’s successor.

THE STRIFE for democratic nominations in Whitley county is reported unusually exciting, coupled with no little bitterness among the rival candidates. There are several candidates for each of the offices to be filled next October, :

SPEAKER BLAINE AS A PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT, S It is a well-known fact in political circles that Hon. Mr. Blaine, Speaker ‘of the lower housel of Congress, is heavily burdened withi presidential aspirations. This accounts 'for his constant’ efforts at peace-making ‘between the jegal‘ofls. and inharmonious representatives of “the party” at the \ national capital. He has mote than once succeeded in quieting the rebellious spirits, but the troubles growing out of the! finance squabble seem to dofy all hig ingenuity. Washington | specials represent the troubles which beset Mr. Blaine in this wise:

The currency bill is the stumblingblock of the already disorgavized Republicap party. Itis another case of a house divided agajnst.itself. There is' but one man who truly comprehends the gitnation, and that is Speaker Blaine. His efforts duriag the past week to patch up anything like a treaty of peace in the civil strife of his party were truly hersulean, nor has he relaxed his endeavors. But alas! the mystic Speaker finds the party in the condition of an old boiler in a stately steamboat. He no sooner patches up one rent than he finds that half a dozen cracks remain which he is unable to patch. Messrs: Morten and liogan by no means relish the work of this officious patcher-up of the Republican party. = They are shrewd enough to see that Blaine, of Maine, is‘not quite disinterested, tkat in fact he is a trifle selfish. Blaine,of Maine, is not at all reticent as to his ultimate wishes. dle has worked himself up to that degree of Presidential mania that he feels the whole importanece of the refrain in the Marseillaise, slightly altered to suit him. It is: | Nomination or death. Mr. Blaine is of opinion that the cohesion of the

party depends on the patching up of a currency . bill; hence he wants and must have it"or despair. . Morton and Logan, on the contrary, refuse the pelite invitation of Mr., Blaine to come and perform hari-kari; sthey believe that an inflation party is not only possible, but that such a party will elect the President in 1876. Add to this the uncertainty in regard to the sphinx of the White IHouse, and we must admit that poor Blaine, of Maine, is pretty well harrassed, and indeed he shows it. ;

° GOOD BYE, RICHARDSON. . In obedience to the almost unanimous demands of the press and the people, Secretary of the Treasury Richardson tendered his resignation last Friday. The fact was not made public until Monday, when the President announicéd the appointment of: Gen. Benj. . Bristow, of Kentucky, as Richardson’s successor. It being an established rule with. President Grant to call obscure men into his cabinet, we deem it essential to append a biographical sketch of the gentleman who is to fill so important a position as the secretaryship of the Treasury: :

Lo e BIOGRAPHICALL Gen. Benjamin I, Bristow is a native of Kentucky, 41 years of age, and a. lawyer by profession. Ie entered the United States service as Captain of cavalry from Kentucky on the breaking out of the rebellion, and served in the Army of the Cumberland until peace was declared. When mustered out, he held a Brigadier-General’s commission. President’ Grant sent his name to the Senate for the position of Attorney-General at the same time he nominated Williams for Chief Justice of the United States. . Since Grant persists in surrounding himself with mediocre advisers, there is no use in lamenting over this sefection. All we can hope and pray for is that Bristow may not turn out as big a raseal as did his predecessor. Geeneral Bristow’s. nomination was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday. - We regret to announce that ex-Secretary Richardson, with all’ the disgrace dttaching to his official career, was also confirmed as one of the Judges of the Court of - Claims, though all the Democrats and Liberals, aided by a few decent Republicans, voted against him. & Bristow takes charge of his office at once. New York (}financiel‘s generally approve his appointment. ,

GoveErNOR lENDRICKS and Mr. E. S. Alvord, who was with the Governor at Washington, deny having congratulated the President upon his veto of the Finance Bill. The call on the President lasted only a few minutes, and was made by the Governor merely to pay respects to the executive of the nation.—lndianapolis Journal. We felji'satisfied at the time that there must be some mistake about this matter. OurexcellentGovernor hasn’t had time to make up his mind on this vexed finance question. lle will be prepared to express an opinion shortly after thecommittee onresolutions shall have made its report at the 15th of July convention. o :

E——— e . Oregon Election. Returns from the election -in Oregon yesterday indicate a victory for the Democratic State ticket, and the choice of a Republican Congressman. This result was achieved by a union of thé Republican and Democratic forces in opposition to a strong Independent movement. The Associated Press reports assert that the Independents have carried the Legislature, but our special advices, which are from a trustworthy source, concede the State to the Democrats. The Independents have as much occasion for rejoicing as anybody. They haveswept thecity of Portland clean,and this was the objective point of their efforts. They have also given a wholesome shock to the old organizations, and consolidated two incongruéus elements in such a way as to ensure the defeat of both.— Chicago Tribune, June 3. :

PENNSYLVANIA iron manufacturers generally remark that they keep their works in operation to give the employes work. -As to profits, they are out of the question.— World. : Of course they are. Pennsylvania iron manufacturers never .concern themselveé about profits. It’s the interests of the poor laborer that engrosses their attention. ;

THE TRIAL of Governor Moses, of South Carolina, for larceny, which was set down for last Friday at Orangeburg, has been postponed till. October, because of the absence of the accuser. The Court refused a warrant for his arrest, and took under advisement a motion to strike the case from the docket. : !

Dr. J. F, HENDERSON has retired from the editorship of the Kokomo Democrat and is succeeded by his son, Howard E. The Democrat is a wellconducted paper, fully deserving of the liberal patronage bestowed upon it by the people of Howard county.

| GENERAL ITEMS. ' In the reconstructed State of South Carolina there are only twenty-one defaulting county treasurers. Go way, white man! /

: The Mill River inquest has been in progress, and evidence very damaging to the owners and builders of the dam is being elicited. : .

= A nearly successful attempt to destroy a train on the New York & Boston Shore Line was made on Friday. An obstruction was placed in a cattleguard near Housatonic bridge, and the collision caused a great shock to the train. : :

Decoration Day was observed throughout the country last Saturday with unusual spirit and patriotism.— The weather was fine every where, and there were many towns and viliages perfectly deserted, the inhabitants having betaken themselves to cemeteries distant from their homes. Six of the oldest conductors on the Pennsylvania Railroad, New York Division, have received notice -that on account of *general mistakes” their services will be dispensed with. Their names are Allen Grimstead, Lloyd Burke, Charles Morgan, John Johnson, John Maxwell, and Ross Miller. Others, probably té the number of eight, 'will follow.

~ As the Atlantic express train from St.' Louis was passing between New Buffalo and Niles, Mich., on Friday night two men broke into the express car, where the agent was arranging his money-packages. One of the robbers managed to get off with $2,700, but the other was shot dead by the agent, who was himself severely injured during the struggle. - i

After all the arrests that have been made of persons supposed to belong to the Bender family, who committed so many murders in Kansas, all' of that family are still at large. The persons arrested in Utah recently as the elder Bender, and who, it was reported, had been satisfactorily identified, proves to be a demented old man of the name of Koch. The county attormey for Labette county, Kansas, publishes a deseription of the senior Bender, in which the criminal is described as a ‘man haying an intelligent countenance and resembling in no wise the vagrants so frequently taken as members of the Bender_family. He adds that all of the Benders, notwithstanding their fiendish nature, appear agreeable and pleasant in their manners, and, as they are supplied with money, it is not likely that they will be found acting the part of- fools and vagrants.

‘ Notes from the National Capital, Tho}defe:tit of the Senate Currency bill in the House renders it almost certain that no bill will pass Congress at this session which can receive the Executive approval. Under these circumstances, the currency question will be the issue of the fall elections, and the nominating conventions may as/well understand it and take sides upon it. , : f

Attorney-Gen’l Williams has again fallen upon evil times. Evidence has been taken by the District Investjgating Committee, to the effect that the Att’y-General’s property was graded at the expense of the Washington Board: of Public Works.

A bill has passed the Senate to restriect the choice of juries in United States Courts to persons who can read and write the English language. More Know-Nothingism, some of the papers will say; but the fact is that genuine Know-Nothingism is just what the bill is designed to prevent. :

The bill regealing the Sanborn contract passed the louse without a (18senting vote. ' In the course of the debate, Secretary Richardson was again put under fire.. Hot shot were thrown upon him from many vantage grounds, and he came out of the engagement in a sadly-battered condition. i : ,

Gen. Coburn, of Indiana, advocated the reduction of the army, and said his personal judgment was that the reduction provided in the House bill was not large enough. He thought that the Government could get on with an army of 20,000 as well as with ah army of 30,000 men, the main work of the army being to take care of the Indian frontier. .

A bill for the reduction of the army has passed the House, but Logan threatens to smother it in the Senate Committee. TLogan once fought in the army. He is now Chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. The necessity of reducing the army, since he has left it, # not so pressing as before; but the people are pretty well agreed in favor of the bill that has passed the House. - An attempt was made in the House last Monday to take from the Speaker’s table the Civi-Rights bill that recently passed the Senate. It was not successful on account of filibustering on the part of the Democrats. They say in Washingtomn, “between their sherry and champagne,” that President Grant will certainly veto the bill if it comes to him for approval in its present shape. Perhaps. If he does, Logan will put on his armor, and there will be carnage. :

The Cry from Louisiana. The Mayor of New Orleans has been telegraphing to'the North almost every day for aid for the sufferers from the overflow in that State. Unless relief comes speedily, 40,000 people will have perished from starvation. A million dollars will be needed to keep them alive until the crops are harvested. There is no doubt of the fact of extreme destitution. '“There is no doubt that, unless something is done, this destitution will end in starvation. No time is to be lost. Let Congress immediately make another appropriation for the support of the Louisiana sufferers. There is sufficient precedent for this course. Congress appropriated $3,000,000 for the relief and care of the Freedmen after the War. Human life is as valuable now' as then, and white men as well entitled to be rescued from the pangs of famine as'black men. Then let the Chicago Relief and Aid Society send $50,000 of the money icontributed towards the relief,of the sufferers from the fire: Then let a local committee be organized to solicit subscriptions forthwith. - Then in every church let a collection be taken up for the afflicted brethren of the South. And let every Chamber of Commerce, every merchants’ association, and every society in the land, benevolent and other, contribute its share. lln this way the- $1,000,000 needed will be forthcoming, and the threatened scorge of famine be averted. If one man, woman, or child perishes from hunger in this land of plenty, we must all answer for it as a crime before God.~— Chicago Tribune. . ‘ S

] O B—— THE country will probably have no solution of the financial difficulty during the present.session of Congress. The new Senate bill has been doctored, until the originator, Mr. Sherman, long ago repudiated it. It is difficult to say now whether it is a contraction or an inflation measure. THe question will have to be settled by the ngx.%l(}ongress, perhaps, if it is settled aa’ : T

BRIGGS' IMPROVED CULTIVATOR. THE BRIGGS CULTIVATOR improved is the result of twenty years effort to improve and perfect a Cultivator to be used with one horse, that will do all the different kinds of work upon: the Farm, Garden and Nursery. Nine men ont of ten, after a fair trial, and learning how to wuse it, will'give this Cultivator the preference to any in use. Amonfi special points of excellence of this implement the following mafl be mentioned: It can be so graduated' that you can do %ood work on hard clay or upon light sandy soil.- It is reversible and ean be changed to throw the dirt to or from the row and will hill:up much or little according to the dépth at which you run.it and the conditlon of the soil. (It is a thorough pulverizer and is'well adapted to stirring summer fallow apd preparing ground for oats; for this work use it with two horges and with outside shovels arranged to throw the dirt inward, cutting over a space double the width of the plows, *ltwill work small corn without hilling or throwing lumps or sods on to the small plants. e When the corn is large enough to bear hilling it will do better work by going once in:a row than the double shovel twice, as that leaves a ridge in the middle of the row, and this a furrow and the soil gradually rising to the row._ Itstirsthe ground deep and covers all the weeds. It will work ameng large weeds without clogging. Will hill potatoes equal to any implement in use.” The shovels are made of the best quality of steel and warranted to clean in any goil., A great saving in expense b; having one good tool that can be arranfied to do afl, the different kinds of work successfully. =~ - For saleby | GEO: W.
