WE LEARN that the county officials have discovered a discrepancy of about $2,300 in the acconnt of ex-treas-urer Isaac Mendenhall, and that suit has been brought against that gentleJnan for the recovery of that sum. It jw claimed that $1.400 of the alleged defaleation has already been cleared up, and that Mr. Mendenhall feels confident of his ability to make a satisfactory showin® of his official integrity. We forbear comment. uatil the case is more fully devoloped; but repeat the suggestion made by ns a year ago that the commissioners ought to employ an expert to give the financial records a thorough overhauling.

PEOPLE’S TICKET — ELKHART COUNTY. ‘ A large number of Democrats, Lib- | e_r;;]is and Republicans,dissatisfied with the management of local affairs in Elkhart county, met in convention in the city of Goslien last Saturday.i The meeting was called to order by i‘hbm—as Miller, who explained the origin of the movement and urged harmonious action. S. B. Romaine was ufiected president of the eonvention. The following named gentlemen were nominated for the several county qfiices: Representative—Albert E. Osborn, (Lib.) Jefferson Twp.; Joint %epre,— resentative—Geo. T. Béu'ney, (Dem.) Osolo Twyp.; Auditor—C. D. ITenkel, (Dem.) Goshen; Treasurer—Chas. T. s(}reenc, (Dem.) Elkhart; Clerk-—Owen ;’(‘oflin, (Rep.) Washington Twp.; Recorder— W H.Miller, (Rep.) Goshen ; Sheriff—Samuel R. Miller,( Dem.}J ackson Twp,; . Surveyor—Geo. T. Ager, (Dem.) Goshen; Real Estate Appraiser—l. C. Bennett, (Rep.) Olive Twp.; Commissioner-—J. Nusbaum, (Dem.) Middlebury 'T'wp.; Coroner—J. R. ‘Bowen, (Dew.) Baugo Twp. Mr. Osborn was a candidate for Representative two years ago, and is said to be a very worthy man. Geo.T. Barney was formerly a' resident of Ligonier, and enjoys an extensive acquaintance throughout this county. He is a leading Granger, and has a strong hold upon the <tarmers. | (. D. Henkel is apopular man and will poll & heavy vote. (. T. Greene is the present treasurer; of his re-election there can be no doubt. Wm. 11. Miller, the popular young gentleman whom the Republicans elected postmaster of Goshen, but whose:appointl}‘wnt' was frustrated by the Defrc(*s-” s faction, will command a large republican vote. Samuel R. Miller for Sheriff, is a nomination upon which there could not possibly be an improvemént, and Geo. T. Ager is the best fitted man for surveyor thit can ‘ he found in seven counties. The ticket, on the whole, is one of considefrable strength and will inl all probability be elected by rousing majorities. NEFF AND BUSKIRK AT ROME CITY. The democratic mass meeting at Rome C(City, last Tl‘llesl!zty evening, was the means of bringing together a very respectable audience, and was presided over by David Law, [Esq. The speaking was from the steps of the Lake Side House. Hon. John E. Neff, candidate for Secretary of State, was the first to take the stand, and, atter a few introductory remarks, he proceeded to diseuss, in a very able manner, the 15th of J‘ uly ‘platform, beginning with the currency plank. He then alluded to the useless extravgance of republican administration in every branch of government; ‘Credit Mobilier frauds; the salary-grab act, by signing which the President added $25,000 per annum to his own salary, in violation of every principle of right and justice; the appropriation of over $76,000 for the White House during the last year; the reckless donation of over 200,000,000 0f acres of the public donmain to railroad cprporations within a few years, efe,, ete., and appealed to all honest people to unite with the, Democracy in their efforts to secure better government) I _ Hon. C. A. Buskirk, demoeratic candidate for Attorney-General, reviewed briefly some of the points presented by Mr. Neff, and referred in eloguent strains to the corruption of government in the Southern States, and the manner in which the heel of tyranny has grotpxd the very life out of —,t'h.e:i people, and exhorted the people to an earnest effort to hurl from power the party that has proved so incompetent and unfaithful to publie trust. ] W l— MR. BAKER’S NOMINATION., We think it will be generally conceded that so far as ability is concerned, the congressional convention of last Tuesday made the best selection that could be obtained from the material presented. Mr. Baker is a gentleman of scholarly attainments, a fluent speaker, and a man of high social standing. A\ very pleasant gentleman in social relations, he is yet an intense partisan when on-the stump, He will doubtless enter upon a vigorous canvass, and do his level best to ‘se¢ure his election by an old-fashioned majority. While popular among a certain portion of his party, some of his bitterest : enemies may be found within the ranks of the Republicans. If elected, as he possibly may be, he | will doubtless prove a degided im- | provement on eitJhel/ Billy Williams or Henry B. Sayler, S . 1 - ] G W— < DEATH OF HON. MILTON B. HOPKINS. It grieves us to announce the death of Hon, Milton B. Hopkins, which occurred at his residence in Kokomo on Sunday last. M. Hopkins was without doubt the most efficient Superintendent of Public Instruction the State has ever had, and his unexpected death will be deeply monrned throughout the State. He was & native of Kentucky, but resided in Indi- 1 ana from his early boyhood days. He reached the age of about 62 years.

Mr. Hopkins was sof only an able edypator, but also a most effective pulpit orator. He was a member of the Christian denomination, and in former years pursued tha practice of law, Peace to his aghes.

- The People’s convention held at Ft. Wayne last Saturday was largely attended by both Democrafs and Republicans. There are seven Democrats and five Republicans on the ticket, which is as follows: ¥or Senatoy, David H. Lipes; for Representatives, William A. Kelscy and T. M. Andrews: foer Judge of the Criminal Court, Warren . Wijthers; for proseeuting attorney, J. D. Hiliegss;. for clerk, J, B. White; for auditor, ¥. W, Kuhne; for treasurer, Joseph A. Stellwagon ; for gheriff, &, . Whitaker.— The Gazette says of the conyention: “Democrats of life-long s;t.:mmng mine gled there with Republicans an unjt= ed in the nomination of a tieket which waust gain the approbation of all who desira to set Allen county right hefore w 0 g

ALL OVER THE STATE. . | Personal and Political Paragraphs. | The Republiczmg of Marshall county ’ have indorsed the Independent ticket. | “Gen. David Moss, of Noblesville, is l suggested as the most available man whom the opposition could nominate for Congress in the Eleventh District. The Lafayette District has three congressional candidates in the field, to wit: Léander MeClurg, Democrat; Thomas J. Cason, Republican; Arch- ! ibald Johnson, Granger. Logansport is now supplied with two daily papers—the Star and the Pharos. 'The first numbet of the last named candidate for popular favor was issued on the 12th inst. S

*They do say that General Cravens, 'who is trying to defeat Michael . Kerr for Congress, makes wonderfully poor speeches and that his finaneial theories are the veriest nonsense. The Democrats of the Fourth Congressional District met in convention at North Vernon on the 13th.inst. and put in nomination Judge New,'of‘ Jennings county. The nomination is generally conceded to be a g()(fd one.

The Republicans of the Ninth District have nominated a very poor stick of Congressional timber in the persoy of Thomas J. Cason. llf the opposition can’t beat Cason, .they will ‘have ample reason to feel heartily ashained.

Just as we i-n{-tima’tml last week, the managers of the Peoples’ party in Allen county have suceeeded in “roping in” some of the prominent Graugers. One of the candidates for Representative is a leading member of that wonderfully non-political organization. ‘Our old friend, Jas. V. Kelso, Esq., has commenced the publication:of a new ceimimign paper in New Albany, yelept Voa: Populi. 'The special object of this new jouru:tlistic venture is the defeat of Hon. M. (. Kerr, the ablest man who has been sent to Congress 1lo! these many years. Bad business, Jim! ; James ~ Evans, the republican candidate for Congress in the Eleventh I)i‘strict, swung around the cirele with Andrew Johnson in 1866, in order to procure the Noblesville-post oftice for his brother-in-law, and in 1868 -he swung back in order to help his brother, John D. Evans, to the State” Auditorship: = e : The Grangers’ or Peoples’ Convention which met at Lafayette on the 11th inst. nomipated Archiljald John-, son, of Montgomery county, for (fongress from the Ninth Distriet. . M. Johnson is an old-line Democrat of the hard-shell style, and h’aé twice been elétted to the State Senate, once from Putnam county. i Bill Baxter, whn is just ngw vy anxious to secure the republican nomination for Senator from ‘Wayne courty, meets with considerable opposition. He has a-formidable competitor in the person of Major -11. C. Meredith, a very popular young’num and son of Gen. Sol. Meredith. Billy, however, seems to have the inside track.

- We regret to learn that our eflicient Hilp(erinténdent of Public Instruction, the Hon. M. B. Hopkins, is lying’ quité sick at his residence in Kokomo with intermittent fever. HMe will probably not be :th:l‘e to fulfill any of his lecture engagements for a month or more. [Since the above was in type, We learn that Mr. Hopkins is no*more.] The Indiznapolis Journal says that Braden & Bruford have issued a map &f Indiana, showing the outlines of counties and congressional distriets, with the vote cast in each county for Browne and Hendricks at the last gubernatorial election. The map is neatly gotten up, and just the tlning needed by all interested in the campaign. - . ‘

In speaking of the democratie candidate for State Auditor, the Kokomo Democrat says: “Eb. is no part of « politician, but we must say he possesses more of that peculiar magnet: ism which always wins friends to a candidate than any gentleman 6f our acquaintance.” It is the Democrat’s opinion that the whole (lemocmtic: ticket will be-elected by from 23,000 to 40,000 majority. 2

People’s tickets have been put in nomination in- fully one-half of the counties of the State. In democratic counties the Republicans are strongly in favor of people’s movements, and in republican counties the:Democrats are equally enthusiastic in favor of reform. It’s a big fight of the outs against the ins, but all for the good of the people—of course. :

i The Democrats of the Tenth Congressional District held their convention at LaPorte last Thursday, 13th inst. Phe couynties of Newton, Starke and Jy#bar were not represented. Dr. Wm. S. Haymond, of White county, was nominated without opposition. The nominee is an old and respectable citizen of Monticello, and is about fifty years of age. During the war he was surgeon of the forty-sixth Indiana regiment, going into the war a Republican and comijng out a Democrat. Ile is a man of ample means and » member of the Methodist Church; has never held or been a candidate for any office, and has no political record. His friends elaim that he is a foreible speaker, and will make a sivong and active canvass. '

Natieugl Sportsmen’s Association. ’ The “New ¥ork State Association! for the Protection of ¥isi and Game,” has called a national convention:to be held at Niagara Falls, September 9th, for the purpose of forming a National Sportsmen’s Association. ‘The object | of the proposed convention is a worthy one, and should be regponde_d to by every one who desires to sce the game and fish of the country preseryed from complete destruction by thé vandal hunters who resorvt to' every disreputable means to fill pouch \or basket, It is time that steps be taken to stop effectnally indiscriminate slaughter. of wiid@ game.

Mr. Baker appeared-on the platform amid the plaudits of his friends. Ije thankeg the convention most heartily for the dixfingui;a_l_ne_;_}. honor conferred, and entered upon a most fuisope en: logy of the “grand, noble and patriotic party” which struck the shackles from four millions of slaves, preserved the liberties of the country, and maintained the supremacy of fhe American E‘Unio;,x. He said while the ehgige of the convention might haye fallen upo & goptleman firther advanced in yeurs, 5o ;o eqrnesf and. determin. i.: ed ayocate of yepubjican prinelples “could haye been chosen, He declared

that so long as reforms were to be introduced and abuses corrected, the mission of the republican party was not ended, and he hoped to God never would be ended. Mr. Bakerproclaimed himself the son of a tiller of the soil, hence his entire sympathies were enlisted in behalf of that sturdy elemeiit. (Sop for the Grangers.) le said Le had no enemies Lo punish, nox would hé be under promise to any. man. Mr. Baker concluded his remarks by assuring his friends that he expected to see and meet them at an early day. . : : : THE RESOLUTIONS. | ' Major J. H. Carpenter, from the committee on resolutions, made the following report, which was approved with but one dissenting voice: Rc.s'ul-oé(l by the Republicans of the 13th Congressional District in delegate convention assembled, that we reaflirm and endorse the platform and resolutions of the Republifim State Convention of June 15, ¥1874 : » 2. That we endorse and commend the course of our present Representative in Congress, the Hon. Henry B. Sayler, and in doing so we fee] assured that we do but simple justice to a faithful and competent public servant. ; o T 3d. That in the selection of lon. John 11. Baker as the nominee of this convention for Congress, personal considerations and personal friendships have been much less considered than a 1 desire to seleet & man whocombines purity of life with a special fituess and qualification for a discharge of the high duties of this important office, and wea pledge ourselves to use every exertion that comports with honor to insure his election. On motion of Dr. Ellis it was = Resolved, That the chairmen of the several ceunty republican’’ central committees be authorized and empowered to call the republican congressional convention for the year 1876. NOMINATION OF PROSECUTORS. The delegates from Lagrzlinge 2m_d Elkhart counties unanimously renominated W. (. Glasgow for Circuit Prosecutor. © Four candidates were in the field for Prosecutor for the Cireuit composed of the counties of Noble, DeKalb and Steuben, to wit: Joseph 1. Morlan, W. L. Penfield and A, L. Reinoehl, all of DeKalb, and J. Wesley Bixler of Nobie. First ballot resulted as follows: Morlan 3914, Penfield 5715, Bixler 11, Reinoehl 12. The second ballot resulted in the selection of Mr. Morlan, by the following vote: Morlan 62, Penfield 58. Morlan’s nomination was made unanimous. J General Observations. Judge Clapp, int his little speech after the nomination of Mr. Baker, gave the latter gentleman a few gentle digs under the f‘?fxih rib. e said that although not a flowery orator, he deemed himself capable of making a proper defense of republican principles; and again, that the gentleman selected as the standard-bearer was better prepared to deliver an address than he was himself. When we state the fact that one of the main arguments used in Baker’s favor was the possession of superior oratorical powers, the point to the Judge's gentle reminder will at once become apparent. A well-informed politician of Lagrange county asserts that Judge Clapp would have been at least a hundred votes stronger in that county, than Mr. Baker. ' !

DeXKalb county did not rally to the support of Judge Clapp as was expected. The Brigadier General was no match for the dashing Charley Baxter. _

Thayer had evidently studied the secret history of the Sayler coup d’etat two vears ago; but that liitle game rcannot be played more than b(bmce in twenty years. : . lli Iddings did a heap of spitting about the time Baker’s nomination appeared inevitable. ' Both Judge Clapp and Mr. Baker betrayed considerable nervousness after the result of the fourth ballot had Leen announced. Their countenances asiwell as their expressions indicated no little embarrassment and internal agitation. | The proceedings of the convention were orderly and decorous from beginning toend. No boisterous demonstrations or ill-tempered remarks were indulged in by the delegates. The ballotting shows that Mr. Baker had more formidable opposition in his own county.than was manifested against Judge Clapp in Noble. : We understand that Mr. Baker, before the convention assembled, figured up only four hundred republican majority in the District. It may be presumed, however, that since the “eloquent orator” has been put in nomination, Mr. Baker’s figures are subject to revision. : : | The broad, genial countenance of Hon. Joseph H. Defrees beamed radiantly upon the announcemexit of his son-in-law’s nomjnation. The yeneralile ex-congressman fully appreciates the importance of having an M. C. in the family. e - There are Republicans in this county who have the assurance to declare that Judge Clapp would have received the nomination had it not been for the fact that he was considered Iddings’ may, s

Freeman Kelly, of DeKalh, gives it as his deliberate judgmént that Baker is the weakest man who could have been‘nominated, at least so far as DeKalb eounty is concerned. We have some sort of an idea that it wouldn’t take much coaxing to induce Freeman to take the contract for laying John Joe Morian. made a very NMTOW eg} cape. Little _‘P.euflg.ld Was t\-f@ey"?lxi;'rl; with a sharp stick. : L Quite a number of postmasters were in attendance at the. convention.— There is a popular suspicion prevalent that g Te?_v"gf gl}em are hardly able to read thelr title ¢lear, g Gen. Brady, chairman of the Repubilican State Central Committee, was on the ground. He pretends to be very hopeful of a republican victory in the State, All Le asks is that the Republicans of the North hoid their own; the South, he fhinks, will fupnish all the gains needed for a round majority. Ap unpsual anxiety seems to fill the

republican mind as to who is to be Baker’s competitor. Be pzitient, brethren; your- anxiety will soon be relieved. . G Many Demoerats and a few Republicans freely expressed the opinion that with a; strong candidate, the Opposition may succeed m beating Mr. Baker. 3 ~ : - i —— Columbia City Items.

Sheriff Miller came to the rescue, and, aftér firing four shots from a small revolver into the dog’s forehead without effect, fired a fifth into his ear, which did the .busines's. The dog belonged to a farmer. Dogs are of no earthly use as 1 can discover, and especially in town.

THE GREATSCANDAIL | CGATHULIFTS THE vEAL Moulton's l?gndogstor‘(id Version of " Beecher'sConduet. . Gushing Love-Letters by ~){rfungl_.)fis.‘ J S Wlew o 0 E -1t has been resérved 'for a Western newspaper to contribute one of the most interesting and Startling pages’ ~of the Beecher-Tilton seandall While the Plymouth Chureh Coramittee has been expending its energies in covering up the facts, jand the press of New York has-been engaged in isleading and deceiving the publi¢ by suppressions-of the truth and suggestions of falsehoods as best suited their purpese, the Chicago 7'#ibine has made a bold dashhat the heaxt of the matter, and by an admirable stroke of enterprise has brought out o series of facts ‘little less than stunning in their character. Having commissioned a spec“ial correspondent to go to Brooklyn and get all the information he possibly ccould about Moulton’s suppressed statement, and the case generally. it has the satisfaction of first publishing a series of facts and of letters which et not fail tq have a marked influence oi public opinion. On Tuésday of last week the Z7ibune published anoutline of Monlton’s first statement, in which he made positive charges ef guilty conduct against- Mr. Beechey, and supported thiem by rémarkably circumstantial statements. He declared'his ‘adiniration for:Tilton and Lig contempt for Beecher. e asserted that the latter had, been acting a part, not only since this controversy began, but for yeéars past. ‘e said that Mr. Beechierrhad repeated]y héen guilty off untruths in connection with this matter, and that his whole course had been cne of coneceilment, hypocrisy and falsehqod.” Heindicated most clearly his belief of Mr. Beecher's criminal connectfon with Mrs, Tiltoi, ~and substantiated it by humerous proofs. This ‘was the tone and substance of his original statemént. From beginning to end it was very. damaging to Mr. Beecher. - ey The 7'ribuneof -the 13th éontains a second installment of startling iaformation embracing the private corres--pondence between Mr.and Mrs. Tilton during the last f:;ive years.. The letters fill abdut thirty-five columns of the Zribune. They. begin in April, 1865, and exteénd to April, 1870; thus covering ' the- whole perfod during which Mrs. Tilton has declared that her home was a hell-to her, and that her husband grossly abused, n'(‘glecf(»d‘, and maltreated her. So far from sus‘taining this assertion, the correspon“dence shows a most extraordinary and exalted degree of happiness between them during that time, with but one disturbing thought.” No such letters have 'been published in modern times. No idea could be given of the fervor and the passion of these letters, or of the perfect love and confidence which they show to have existed between Mr. and Mrs. Tilton® during these years—with the exeeption ~og ‘her occasional references.to M. Beecher’s growing influence over her and to her increasing love 'for him. ,They completely refute her -statement of her husband’s mistreatment. during that period, and justly throw .4 scloud of doubt over her own statement. This is the only comment that can be made on these, Jetters, which. certainly furnish one’of the remarkable phases of the case. What influence they will have in determining the final verdict: of the public remains.to be seen. - The Grasshoppers i Hansas, - The .visitation of grasshoppers in Kansas appears to be as serious as that of Egypt in old times. A private letter, written with tlie graphic power of an accustomed hand, gives the picture very completely: “We willnot have a potato, squash, pumpkin,cifron, melon, or anything of this kind “for winter use. What we are to do this winter I cannot see, for we ‘will have nothing to live on, and not a cent ¢f money to buy anything, even if there was anything to buy. This country, is completely . stripped of everything.. Nobody has anything left. The people are almost crazy. . -Everybody will try to leave, but there are some that cannot leave, for they havenothing to go with.” - So thick are the grasshoppers: that all the clothing las to be shut.up in 'trunks; curtains are taken down and protected - fronr the ravenous appetite of the invaders. “In addition to this there has been no rain for months, and.at the date of the letter, July 30, the thermometer stood at 110 degrees. Any experience. or prospect less calculated to promote contentment, it wouldbe hard to:name,” R
