FINANCIAL DOCTORS AGREE AT LAST. | ~ Both Houses of Congress (inally con- ! curred in a compromise on the finance | ‘(lll('s’liﬂll, and the ]’residmlt——wisely,‘ - we think, under the circumstances— ! Cappended Chis signature to that measjure. The report of the conference - committee was adopted, in the Senate by a vote of 43 in favor and 19 against, "and in the House by 22} against 40.— ! The main features of the bill are set forth to be, first, the repeal of the ex- | isting law requiring national banks to J keep a legal tender I"eserv"e,on' their ceirceulation, which will reldase about | thirty millions of greenbacks for the uses of trade ; second, it fixes the green-

back cirenlation at $382;,000,000, thus legalizing the issue of tl}e reserve already ‘ont, and forbidding its withdrawal or the issue of any more; third, it withdraws $£55,000,000 of national bank cireulation from Eastern States

which have more than their share, and redistributes it in - Western States whicl}' have less than their share, ’ Under this provision, after the basis of radistribution is lixed, (~Xisf,in;r Links may inercase thee eireulation, or new Danks with cireculation be. organized to the extent of themew pro rata share. Indiana is entitled to about $280,000, We are anxions to see how soon this amount!'will be taken up.

; THE OREGON ELECTION, We have at last reliable information that the entire Demoeratic State ticket, headed by Grover, has been elected in Oregon., The Senate now stands: Democrats, nine; Republicans, eleven; Independents, ten. In the House there are twenty-two Democrats, twenty-two Independents, and sixteen ]ft‘pllh]i(‘:ﬂlilﬁ. The Independent party, it will be. observed, holds the balance of power, and its natural alliance will be with the: Democratic party. A conspicuous vesult of the clection was the rescue of the Legislature from republican control. The election of 1872 gave the barouche-ands bigamy party forty-three votes in joint ballot of sevent'_\,umw; now the Radiecals only command twenty-seven votes. The Democrats retain the State government, elect their Congressman, and have in the Legislature thirty-one members, as aguinst twen-ty-cight. L = .

As i body of the electors the African voters may }mt 1)0‘ the most inteligent and independent’ in the nation—but they are what slavery and Democracy has made them; and considering the chances they have had, they are certainly quite as wise, elean and good as the vermin of the old Five Points, the *tar heels” of North Carolina, the “poor white trash” of Dixie, generally, and | other “rock rooted” Democratic constituencies.— Laporte Herald. It requires a ;:énuinp, narrow-mind-ed fanatic of the true 'nv‘gm equality’ school to insult public intelligence with such stuff. Whatever influence “sl;‘u'm'y and J)mnm#g‘;\c.\"’ may have (:_\w-r('isy(l over the hegro, there remains the indisputable fact that the negroes of the South,even while in bonélzng’v, were far: in ml\':t‘nﬁcv of their semi-barbarian brothers who never came in contaét with the “tyrannical Caucasian.”—Dßut what an adiission our Laporte contemporary is forced to make! “T'lie most he can claim for his African co-laborer in the radical vineyard is that he is equal to the \'er‘i\* worst and most degraded whites that can be found in: the United States.— And yet the Herold demands still greater privileges for thesesame “vermin——of a dark complexion. It indecently ins‘is‘m‘ upon thrusting the dirtiest and lousiest among their number into white ;\'('hu;)ls, respectable hotels, sleeping cars, theatres, &e. It tavors’ a law that deprives the owners of hotels, &c., of the privilegé of determining as to.who are fit or suitable persons to b entertained in their establishments. It means toinfliet punishment upon those who cannot and will not admit the equality of the negro. To all such iniquities we are firmly opposed, and we intend to speak out against them, whether it pleases or displeases the imperial. darkey of the South or the subservient dough-face of the'North, = _

Now, agreater editor than he of the BAXNNeR Gukd o Demoerat, too, “after the siraightest of the seet”) plainly holds different social views, and has st his brcthren an example of common sense- and manliness which, if they do not care to imitate it,: ought to shame them into something like deceney. When twe yvears ago, or more, Mr. Fred Donglass was posted tuilo(eture at Evansville, Mr. Whittlesey of' the . Conricr wrote the distinguished freedman, cordially inviting him to make his house liis home, during his stay in the eity. °ln other words the cditor of theleading Democratic organ in Southern Imdiana “acknowledged the negro o fit associate in private life.” Mr. Douglass, we believe, declined the conrteous invitation, from motives of delicacy-=probably foresecing possible embarrassment to his would-be . entertainer. . This shows how it man may be a Demoerat and vet fajr and kind to the colored race —and that gentlemen are gentlemen irréspective of polities, eolor or “previous 'condition of gervitude,”-—La-lfr:f'te.lle/;gllcl. _ And we venture the assertion that C'ol. Whittlesey never regretted an act of his more deeply than he did the issuing of that invitation. Waespeak by the card in making this declaration. It was in the early part of 1870 that Whittlesey addressed that invitation to Fred. Douglass. About six months later Col. W. and the writer of this spoke from the same platform at two different meetings in southern Indiana.. While we referred to the negro in a mere incidental way, Col, ‘W. devoted almost his entire time to abont the severest and most eaustic denunciation of Sambo that we ever listened to anywhere. And we remember distinetly of being adinonished to “piteh into” Sambo in a manner fhat would make the wool fly—which, by the way, we politely declined to do, Now, Mr, Herald, be kind enough to cite us another “example,” ‘

THE ELXHART COUNTY REPUBLICANS. The Republicans of Elkhart county assembled in convention at the county seat on the 10th inst. Ifon. Michael Shuey, the Demosthenese of Elkhart, acted as chairman and the republican editors,as secretaries. The 'following ticket was placed in nomination: For Representative, Jacob Bechtel, Harrison township; for Clerk, Thomas I, Daiily, Gb?shen; for Auditor, Theodore . Garvin, Elkhart; for Treasurer, Frederick W. Miller, Elkhart; for Recorder, George ¥. Mann, Middlebury; for Sheriff, John W. Stetler, Benton for Coroner, Alonzo Wade: for Sur veyor, William MecCord; for Real Estate Appraisor,Christian W.Nusbaum ; for Commissioner—Middle Distriet, William (. Elliott. z

On motion of Postmaster Ellis the following resolution was unanimously ;1(;10;)[(,5(1: ; At 5 { Resolved, That Jesse P, Vail, of Benton township, be declared: the choice of this convention for. Joint Representative, and the | Republicans of Noble county be requested toconeuwr in the same.

The committee on resolutions, composed of J. IH. Baker. B. 1. Davenport, D.'s. White, J. D. Vail, J. 11. Defrees, 11. .. Wood and J. E. Thompson, reported the- following, which were unanimously adopted: We, the Republicans of Elkhart county, in mass eonvention assembled, declare:

1. That in the future, asin the past, we are in favor of universal liberty under laws equal and pust to all. 2. That the agricultural interests of the country demand that the proditcers and consumers should be brought into the most direct and friendly relations; and looking to this end we insist that the rates of toll on all railroads shall be regulated and limited in sucli manner as to prevent exorbitant charges and unjust discriminations against local trathe, . 3. That we demand honesty, economy and - fidelity in every oflicial posi‘tion, and we insist that there shall be ro increase of oflicial compensation during the term for which any such officer may be elected, and that every such increase is wrong in principle and demoralizing in ‘practice, and as the late increase of salaries, Federal and State, was violative of this prineiple, we denounce the same as unjust and indefensiblé. 4 That the whole subject’ of fees and salaries as fixed in this State, and especially as applied to county officials, ouglit to be caretully revised, and such fees and salaries ought to be largely reduced, thus relieving the people. from one of their heaviest burdens. o, That while we:regard the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as impracticable, yet regarding the unrestricted traflie in such liquors as one of the greatest evils of the age, we favor amendments to the law (1) whereby a license fee for the use of the common school fund shall be required of everv person pert nmitted to sell intoxicating liquors; (2) whereby the manufacture and sale of impure and adulterated liquors shall be prohibited and punished: and (3) whereby the youth of the State shall be protected by making it unlawful to permit minors to be in or about liquor saloons.or billiard rooms.

- I order to make a decided impression upon the delegates to the (,f()ll\‘(*gxtion, and in order to secure the adoption of a*sotnd temperance” platform and the nomination of Strict temperanee advocates, a car-load of crusaders came up from Elkhart, Instead of escorting them directly to the courthouse where the eonvention was in session, the leadingspirits (John Baker’s cligue) managed” to switch them off to ‘the Methodist church. lere the ladies prayed and sang. and Mrs, Molloy made a little speeeh in explation of theiy objeet and finally brought up the presentation of a miemorial to the republican convention. Just ;t this moment the genial countenance of Mr. Baker was noticeable in the crowd, and as a matter of course his fair admirers were anxious to learn from him what course -to pursue.— This was John’s opportunity. ITethad 0 doubts whatever upon that partieu: lar point. The memorial should be sent to the committee on resolutions, of which he was chairman, and the idea of the ladies walking in a body to the c‘mn't-lui_use square, to urge a compliance witl# their recommendations, should be speedily abandoned. Having the utmost confidence in John’s devotion to the nnl)](-\(-:t‘usv, the ladies (with a few resolute exceptions) acquiesced in the embiyo congressman's snggestion. Hurriedly devising aplan for keeping the erusading sisterhood away from the (‘?(ﬂl\'(‘)lti(ﬂl. John resimed his place as In:mipill,n- | tor of the “great republican party” of l Elkhart county—doubtless highly eluted over the success which attended his

dexterous management of that huge elephant—the joint creation of John Buker, Doc, Ellis, Mike Shuey'and Pope Mahin. : . The Goshen Democrat vefers to Baker's strategic movement in these words: - ¥

“But the most singular turn of/the day’s performance was in respect dto the.women crusaders and the liguor question. There was such an overwhelming sentiment against the erusaders that Baker and Ellis, who flattered and cajoled them the day before, at Elkhart, had to go down to the Methodist ghurch, where they had, assembled in force from here and Elkart, and prevent their appearance on the public square to save the convention from breaking up iu a row—the delegates from whole townships threatening tosecede the moment they made their appearance. For the first time we felt in our heart a sympathy for these poor, deluded women, - They had leaned upen a broken reed and got pierced through and through. To see them file out from the chureh, after being thus humiliated, and take up their disconsolate line of march towiirds the passenger house, the subject of jeers, and sneers, and rough jokes mnong the delegates, toneh our sensibilitles. But have we not warned them of the freachery of these politio e : An examination of the vesolntions reported by, Mr, Baker reyeals the fact that, nift@r preaching Baxterism and total abstinence for months, “the party” is made to turn the cold shoulder to the crusaders. - A few observations from sister Molloy on the uttey unreliability of republican demagognes pve now in order, Will she have the pluck to speak out th open meeting?- s !

-~ CIVIL RIGHTS BILL-DEFUNCT, “ The most gratifying intelligence we can impart to our readers this week ik, the defeat, in the lower house of Congress.of that infamous measure known as- the “civil rights Dill.” Thé whole number of representatives in thellTouse is 292; of whom 194 are Republicans, 92 Demoecrats, and 5 Liberals. On a vote taken last Saturday,l4o votes were cast for and 91 against the bill. This being less than a two-thirds vote, the bill failed, as was generally expected. Well did Mr. Eldridge remark, addressing himself to the Republicans, “It i 5 the deadest corpse you ever saw, and you are all glad of it.” There is scarcely w dozen of Congressmen '\\']lo really helieve this bill should become a law ',l".‘hey voted for its passage simply with a view to holding the negro vote. TLet us all be grateful that the thing is buried out of sight.

THE ANTI-SECRET SOCIETY FOLKS . <PROTEST! , The anti-secret society party, recentIy organized at Syracuse, has sent the dannexed document to the President of the United States: o The undersigned citizens of the United States,learning through public announcement that It'is proposed to lay theicorner-stone of the new Government building in Chicagé with Masonic ceremonies on- the twentyfourth day of June next--St John's Day, so called—respectfully represent that under our Constitution and laws no society, sect, or order is entitled to oflicial preferment or precedence over any other order, sect, or society, and they therefore do earnestly ‘ protest that the order to whiclh-it is thus proposed to delegate a work of national interest should not be allowed such recognition either through its festivals or its rites and ceremonies, which are offensive to the great body of American people, o : The petition is.sﬁgnvd by 20,000 persons from sixteen States.. i

- WHEN it comes to drawing comparisons as to “paucity of mind and morals,” we take it to be in order to propound a few inquiries: First, wliat sort of intellect is that which requires several glasses of whisky to set it in motion before a large and respectable aud&enee, and then emits only a‘few incoherent, maudlin ;sentenees, but suflicient to disgust those who put the tutt.vri'x'ng' “orator” on- the platform? Second, does ittindicate great intellectual power when a “lawyer” isgnbliged to employ assistance for ‘;‘plltitigng through™ a plain, non-complicated case

before court? Does it require a gigantic mind to kill £wo or three néwspapers in a county that then offered every encouragement to render them successful? And, while. you are cogitating over these questions, we al--20 beg permission to ask ‘whether an individual -who, under the mask of friendship, habitually disparages the merits of | his neighbors; who sheakingly circulates lies and misrepresentations; who ig ever ready to reward friendship with treachery; wlo deliberately seeks to defraud his own broth-er-in-law, and whose envy permits hiin to speak nothink but evil of those who ‘disdain flattering an unworthy object,—we ask, is such an individual a fit permn to prate about “decent, inle”i;:vllt‘('i;'(‘]v.\'"'(n' to guestion the capacity of those whose labors - furnish the most striking retutation of his low-tlung det getions ¥ ' e e j

11. F. KeexXAN, since the fall of 1872 ‘editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, in a significantly I)lii(‘t' eard announces his withdrawal from that paper. Mr. Keenan was probably the most industrious writey ever connected with the Sentinel, and could he have adapted hims‘elf more closely to stil'munding circumstances, might have done considerable good. IMe was altogether too pedantic to suit the tastes of our plain-spoken IToosiers. When he gets to be older, he will doubtless realize the fact that an’impetuous young quill-driver is as liable to fall into error as old stagers are prone to adhere to early-formed notions,and that hasty conclusions seldom stand the test of deliberate investigation.

Parting Shots to Congress.

What one act to redeem it from universal contempt? * * Tg it possible any one believes that the people cannot select from the farms, workshops, or professions of the State a-delegation more in harmony with industrial pursuits ?—or that by a total change thete is one chance in a million of doing worse than at present? ¥ * * The great need of the time is change and reform. ‘fo that end the people must address themselves, or fare worse.

Sunday last a destructive storm visited parts of Allen county. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when the weather was clear, calm, and sultry, the rain suddenly began to fall in torrents, accompanied by vivid darts’ of lightning ana terrvible claps of thunder. Without warning the whirlwind descended, and, in the course of a few seconds, did much damage, tearing up trees by the roots, carrying off fences and roofs, and Jaying waste lgrge fields of wheat :mdy corn, In a very short time, the more violent features of the storm disappeared, and steadyrain succeeded, which lasted about an hour, after which the sun wis again vigible, So far as reported, no loss of lite vesulted, The nren of territory desolated was- vepy small, bpt the crops were injured materially. el - B— e At an election Kokomo voted a donation 0f55,000 as a bonus for the eregtion of u stave and heading factory at that place, Thus Kokomo stayes i T

When Wheat Should Be Cut, - The Germantown Zelegraph says there has been some diversity of opinion as to the best time to cut wheat, judging from the common practice of farmers. It is generally ent when dead ripe or at least! when the grain has become hard.. This is no doubt an error, and one of more importance than many suppose. It should be remembered that, wheat is composed of glutei, starch and bran. Gluten is the nourishing quality of grain, makes the flour stick together in.the hapnds ‘of the baker, and gives weight to ‘the grain—and there is the greatest quantity ot gluten in the grain just when the straw is yellow two or three joints from the ground, the head turns downward, and you can mash ‘a grain between the thumb and finger without producing any-milk. It may therefore be set down as an indisputed truth that every day the wheat stands after this stage of its ripeness the gluten decveases in quality and the. bran increases in thickness. We give the facts in time that the farmers can take advantage of the present season.

Mrs, ITarold was struck upon the head by one of the buffalées, cutting a terrible gash several inches in length. She also had her right rib broken. The baby received a terrible blow upon the temple, rendering it. unconscious, and producing a spasm, from which it is feared it will not recover: The buffaloes ran down the street, and were soon under control of their keeper. The excitement at the time was intense, and quite a nwnber were crushed, and bruised by the erowd. A team Hecame frightened, and ran into a carriage in which were two ladies and a child, who were thrown out and drageed some distance with the wreck, but esc},xﬂped unhurt.

DeGranerlee, badly lacerating her hand and limbs, and tearing her clothes in shreds. :She retained her presence of mind and succeeded in keeping the beast cowed until it was secured, when she fainted. Her injuries are not dangerous.

‘By the giving way of the floor of a church in Syracuse, N. Y., in which a strawberry festival was being held, Tuesday . night, about 200 persons were seriously injured. At the present writing, fourteen dead bodies hava been recovered, and the work of clearing away the ruins has but just begun. Evidently there is here another case of cheap building, such as produced the dreadful disaster at Mill River.” -
