THE NATIONAL BANNER: LIGONIER, IND., MARCH 25, 1875.—SUPPLEMENT.

Noblesville Special.

Some animosity exists among a por- | tion of our eitizens, owing to the fact | that our efficient: Supervisor has or-| dered all persons having saw-logs in \ the public highway to remove them | immediutely. This is a step in the vight direction-and 1 approve of the aetion. . | : . ) e ~As spelling schools are getting to be the order of the day, I think that we ‘ought to fall into line, tor 1 believe we have as good spellers: in this locality as ean be found anywlhere in the State. Anyhow, T believe that if a challenge “was sent to Noble township it would he accepted, providing the premium offered was worth competing for. ~ “bid Wm.

Runßo. - oee | v ‘An nterview with Andrew Jochnson. - The New York Tribune’s Washing‘Lo correspondent sends a lengthy interview with Senator Johnson, who said: - ¢ ean givesno pledge of my future course; I ean not say that I will ‘ act wigh one party or the other. . We | haye too much of party, and T propose to bind myself in advance to no theory of party policy. I have neverdone. so¥in the past, and T do not intend to -doso in the fature. I shall support such measures as appear in my judgment, best for the country, ecaring not whether it is a democratic measure or whether it is supported by “republicans: - I will never place myself: “in'a position where I must do a thing because it is a party measure, or - oppose a thing at a party’s dietation. I -place the country above party.. Mr. ~Johnson could not say whether he would participate in the debate on the ‘Pinchback resolutidn. Being asked if he would not, in his new position, have opportunity to pay off some: old scares, and if he did not haye a iass: of facts against the leaders of the par-ties-of to-day, said; “Whatever I may ‘have I do not say, but Ishall use nothing. My service in- the Senate ‘will not be a personal one. I'do notrepresent myself, hut Tennessee. The country. has now nothing to do with my : personal matters nor with what has passed. I have no enemies to punish or friends to reward, I have buried resentment and forgotten the ill-treat-ment of individuals. If I can perform the.duties that are now before me as conscientiously and clearly-as I see “them at this moment, I shall accomplish as much as. human vanity may. seek toattain.” Mr. Johnson occupies the same seat in the Senate from which, when formerly Senator, he made his famous Yankee Doodle ‘Spéech. ¢ _ o £ 9y

Living by Blackmailing. . IN. Y.C()rrespondén'tlloswuJuurnalJ . The extent to which blackmailing in New York is carried on and its success is astounding. -Men and women live in elegantly furnished houses uptown, who. pursue the business of blackmailing as atrade. They get the entree of soeciety, form car acquaintances -with respectable people, hire pews intelegant churches, and ride in coaches on the fruits of their nefarious - business. Nobody is spared.— It’s the rule in the district attorney’s office, when a woman calls to see the officer, to have the doors all open that lead into other rooms. One of our eminent lawyers consented to hold a consultation with an elegantly dressed woman one afternoon. It cost him $lO,OOO betore he got through with it. One of our prominent bankers has a habit of "remaining in the bank - till 5 o’clock to-do up his private writing. He usually sits alone. One day a woman sailed in, dressed®in velvet, with diamonds up to her eyes. She took her seat without question, near the president, and began a running-con-versation. Soon & man put-in an appearance and made direct for the parties. Providentially: the- cashier had not left the bank, but was in the wash-room tha§ opens out of the president’s chamber. llis appearance on. the scene changed the progrédmme — The porter now remains till the president has gone, and:locks up things.— Even the judges are not spared by these miscreants. An attempt was made to blackmail one.otf our district judges.. He did not- scare at all, but sent the parties to Blackwell’s Island ‘for six ‘months. oo ’ '

" Last week the Ligonier BANNER issued four thousand copies of that paper, the excess over its usual edition being sentsto farmers in the county who’are not regular subseribers; also, a two page supplement accompanied the regular edition. Mr. J. M. Chapman, a hardware: merchant, occupied eight columns of the BANNER for his own use. If that is not enterprise we don’t know where it could be found. Let our merchants take heart now, and squeeze out aboutsfour inches of space for ‘he spring trade. It will not ruin them.—GQoshen Democrat.

. —The Syracuse Enterprise thus speaks of an improved method of fishing at the lakes, in that county: It consists of a small house, built on runners like those of a sled, in which is placed a small stove, while in the floor a small aperture is left through which to drop the lines. Holes are cut in the ice, the houses are moved over them, and the fishermen sit by a warm stove while drawing in the fish. Several of these houses are now in use.

The Ligonier BANNER comes to-us this week with a half sheet supplement, giving to the paper 60 columns. Eight of these are used by one man in advertising farming implements, and he sends.out 4,000 papers to the farmers of Noble county,—Elkhart Review. .

J. M. Chapman took one whole page of the: Ligonier BANNER last week in advertising 'his Hardware and Agri‘cultural Implements, and four thousand copies of :the paper were issued and distributed among the farmers of Noble Co.— Wolcottville Register. -
