- ONtthé first page of tgé—day's BANNER will be found an interesting commu_mnication from the ;p’eri of our- gexlia}_ . friend and former townsman, L. H, ‘ ijegn,Esq., of Minneaf)olis, Minn. He | ' seems to think they have had an up- - usually chilly winter of it, but enter-_ <. tains the hope that'the last cold snap " has taken the “snap” qut of the grass- * hoppers and that the lintensity of the winter may yet prove an inestimable’ ~ boon to the Western people. ' This -cheerful view of the matter seems to be corrobprated by dispatches front. . various points in the West, to the ef- . fect that the young grasshoppers have sbeen destroyed and thé general. belief “* is expressed that.there will be no fur- * . ther trguble from this pest. “It is an . ill wind that blows nobody good.” i T—— eo— ¢ . THE new: Attorney-General, Mr. - Pierrgpont, is very highly spoken of ~ by®the N.Y. World, which says of: . him: “He has exercised jugdicial func- -. tions here, and for jmany years has been a leading ‘member of the bar. - _His,private and socuiag'l life is without stain or reproach. He has been the 7 successful legal adviser of large ® property interests in i’fbis community, - and his’ professional honor ispure.” The only dissatisfaction” which has | been expressed over:Mr. Pierrepont’s . appointment emenates fromi the car- . _pet-baggers in the South, who are ap//g:hénsi\fe that th?a? new Attorney- / General will anull some of the mean ¢ things inaugurated -by Williams. May their apprehensions -be . well | =es 1 : WHILE it cannot be truthfully denied that the prospects of a great dem- ~ ocratic victory next Sfear are eminent- - ly flattering, there is still a great deal - of foree in the observation of a:con- .. temporary who says the Democracy is ~entirely “too sanguine. Elated with - its late success, it i 3 prone to believe _ that the path beforé it is flowery, and ! the fature bright, but it will take wis*dom, work and corciliation to meet ~ the occasion.. Many of the Republi- ~ cans who have cut loose from the ad- - ministration and abhor it, are not, by - any means, in, hamgony with thé Dem- ~ eeracy. We cannoti do without them, * nor they without us, “Divided we fall” - and the real question is between mere success and the salvation of ~ 'the country from déspotism.” These . words of soberness are from the pen Lon_zhridjé, of the Peru Sen-. _ tinel.

- ENLIGHTENED AND CONVERTED., . Wonders will never cease: - Of all the- extreme republican politicians who have' adyocated a revengeful policy toward the people of the South, no one—with the solitary exception of Ben Butler—has been more persistent than Wm. D. Kelley, who for seven successive terms has represented one of the Philadelphia Districts in the halls of Congress. - This intense Radical has at last undergone a change of mind and heart. Washington dispatches inform us that Mr. Kelley, after an extended trip- through the States -of V_iirgin'ia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, gives an emphati¢ denial to the charges and statements of Republican -news‘papers and ‘orators for years past against the South. -He says that he mingled freely during his trip with the people of - all parties and of both races, and that' he now understands the condition of the South better than he ever did before. His: views have been completely changed. He reports a general condition of good order and of kindly feehmg, .and says that:there is no necessity whatever for troops or force bills. He declares that hereafter he will take very little stock in stories of Southern outrages, especially if they

are reported as occurring in the sections he visited. -He states that these accounts are not. only gross- exaggerations, but in many cases deliberate falsehoods; and sums up- by sayin-g’ that the only vote -he regrets, after fourteen years’ service in Congress, is his vote-for the Force Bill.at the last session. - Judge Kelley ‘speaks very gloomily "of -the flnaneial = condition of the South, which he atfributes largely to the financial policy of the, last Congress. " ™»° .

- While the candor.of Mr. Kelley entitles: hix_m to great. praise, ‘we cannot close‘ our eyes to. the guilt which attaches to his official conduct during the past ten years. Sworn to legislate impartially and justly, he committed a gross offense by accepting thev,u/h--truthful statements of* adventurers and scalawags as a guide for hri,s votes. ‘He and his-colleagues should have acquainted themselves with the real coridition” of southern - affairs; years ago, before-all the mischievous legislation had been enacted. The truth which he seems at last to have discovered was accessible to hiny years ago. The lamented Horace Greeley set a noble example in" this respect—one which Mr. Kelley might well'have emulateg’l{ but which he treated with scorn and contempt. - - | IMPUGNING A MAN’S MOTIVES. : _We regret to find the subjoined paragraph in one of our State exchanges: " *Carl Schurz sailed for Europe on Thursday.. On Tuesday evening, preceeding his.departure, he was honored by 4 complimentary banquet, at which Hon. Wm. M. Evarts presided. Over. two hundred ‘' guests were present; among whom were some of the most distinguished . dignitaries of the land. Mr. Evarts addressed the company in a few- well -chosen and eloqueént remarks, after which the ex-United States Senator replied in a vein re.viewing . his :political course. - He claimed fellowship with neither political party, but rather favored an independent party to suit a class of people like himself, who thought neither of the parties. worthy of his -support. Carl is hard to please. - He has been a . Republiean, Dembocrat .and - Independent, and, like a great many others, will unite his fortunes with any party that promises political honors.”

Mr. Séhurz has beén: nothing of the kind. . He ide?tiﬁea”‘hims'elf early -witlr the republican party and steadfastly adhered to that- organization until it became evident that Grant & Co. were usingits machinery for selfish, corrupt'and unpatriotic purposes. He. then, .as an independent and fearfess statesman, stepped outside the organization, lifted the yoke of oppression from thousands of Missourians, and devoted ‘his splendid abilities exclusively to the advancement of the public interest. In doing this, he ignored-every personal consideration, and—-lost the Senatorship, ashe well knew he would, beforehand. ‘He looked neither Yo the right nor to the left, but served his counfry faithfully and honestly. A man who presents such a record, and has thus distinguished himself, . might “well be permitted to temporarily withdraw from the political stage without being subjected to the uncalled-for and unjust” aspersions quotéd above. ~Mr. Schurz’s present attitude ‘may be altogether wrong; but, that is far from proving that heig lacking either in sincerity. or in an earnest-desire to promote the public good..

A TRUISM APTLY STATED. - . A most truthful utterance was that of Major Hot¢hkiss, of Staunton; when he said in course of & speech delivered during the recent senatorial” contest in Vest Virginia: ; “Gentlemen, if no one will make a speech, I will, and I will stop when I get done. Citizens of West Virginia, if 'you would all take the same interest in .developing the resources of your country by opening your rich mines, cultivating the soil, improving your stock, and cultivating ‘habits of industry,” that you take hunting publie offices, for yourself or friends, you would soon have one of the first and best States in the Unien.” . What ‘is true as: regards West Virginia, holds good as to every State in the Union. If one-half of the hard work usually devoted to pblitical campaigns was applied to the development of business interests, we would fiear léss of hard times and failures. Facts are; the American people squander entirely too much money andtime in trying to reach official positions.

ALBION LLOCAIL.. . . TRAMPS. Scarcely a day passes that does not bring along one or more of these nuisances to pester one with their story of ‘hardship and 'misfortune. We all know that, to most of mankind, the cloud seldom turns a silver lining; and the thorny paths of life have their severe discipline, and charity is ever ready to encourage the ragged and the foot-sore, it generally happens that our good nature and kindness have been imposed upon, and that instead of helping the truly needy, we have only helped an inipostor on his way to the next stopping place to deceive in turn our neigbors. This is not charity. Too often these vagabonds are petty thieves who, with tales of| distress on . their tongues, epter the house with other objects” in- hand than merely assistance in their distress. Charity must know its object to be an honest one before it lends the 11e1ping hand.— Shipwrecked - sailors, widows with small’ children in suffering condition and far from home, people who have been burned out®in distant places, and so on through the whole gamut of distreds, are tramping over the country. Now I would not be understood as ob-

j'e*cting to helping the needy and henest object of charity, but ‘urge.it rather;>but be sure that it is a worthy case, _els‘e'th_e,re is.no charity in the transaction. It is not difficult to detect the professional beggar. His impudence and coolness show long training at the business, and he is ‘well enough read in jhuman na’curef to know that tlie heart at onee melts at a well told tale of distress. Beware of these tramps. ek PHAT RELIG] |-+ /] In reply to the Guestion of “Alexis” about the Good Templars, I have only this to say: If it/is intended to resuscitate the order in this place, many of the old members of the order, [ am informed_, can be foqn‘d.

Let Alexis be comforted, there is yet. hope for us; we are not yet-on the “ragged, edge,” nor, thanks to the good Lord, are we “suffering the torments of the damned.” ! e THAT BALL.

Among theseis our genial old philospher and friend, Squire Funk, of Port Mitchell, who by the way has ‘more lightning rods 6n his ‘house and barn%th':i.n any man in Indiana, all bought at one time and from the same peddler. But he has conclud--ed to buy no more, and now keeps a ‘big “yaller dorg” to watch the road and report when lightning rod wagons . come in sight. | Fead . “MONSIEUR TONSON, COME Agalx!” Mr. “Harry White,” who claims to be general agent for that unequaled ppatent washing machine which was introduced into this county a week or so ago, by appointing Elisha Peck of Elkhart township #nd uncle Noah Myers of Washington township, agents for the same, was in town last week trying to sell the notes which his comradés had fraudulently obtained. A writ of replevin was placed in Sam Foster’s hands as deputy sheriff, and negotiations at once opened with the “general agent.” And this is how it - was done: Wit White, who deals oc-;-ca.sion_ally in p’f@pex"g expmssé¢ a -desire{,; to buy Peck’s note if things were all right; the other White assured him ‘that was thecase, and that no risk. ‘need be feared in its purchase. Foster was introduced to the general ‘agent as an old resident of the county, well acquainted with Peck and familiar with his signature; and that if o trouble in negotiating the purchase. The note was at once handed to Fospriftomrn g ﬂ;‘a, e A e R TR

on the astonished and hamstrung agent. The fellow cavorted around until midnight, took the train' for Kendallville to hunt up a lawyer to aid ‘him, as he said, to recover lis property. He afterwards called tosee Mr. Peck to “fix up” the matter, but the old’ gentleman had had enough dealings with swindlers and ordered him ount of the house.” I learn that he has employed A. A. Chapin, Esq., of Kendallville, to look after the matter. ILet us have this case in court by all means. If the law is on the side of swindlers, we want to know it. If unsuspecting farmers have no remedy against these sharpers, then justice is a farce and her temple should at once be torn down. I have a strong suspicion that this man “Harry White” is. the person who soold a certain patent plow to some of the farmers in this county not a great while ago, and fraudulently obtained their notes.

Over two hundred have been set out, and it would be ‘well enough if our county commissioners would appeint sonie one to look after them and pay-him for the tiouble. i " MEDICINE MEN.

But then, again, we knew that a large portion had.been left out and when it.came to the surface all would be well. - Our people here will never wﬁljngly submit to have our famous city unrepresented” in the BANNER, no matter if the items are small and ftrifling. So, .for ‘the present, we will continue to ‘send in our “squibs,” h()pini;’thn.t_ hereafter when the editor cannot find room for all, he will leave out or postpone the whole.

The loss on the factory building was $200,000; on the machinery, stock and out-buildings, $lOO,OOO. It is estimated that the loss on the dwellings and their contents is from $30,000 to $50,000. o

The Beecher Scandal - The Defense Rest the Case. ‘ i TR —-‘—-._ g B i Y THE WITNESSES RELIED UPON TO IM- - PEACH TILTON ARE THEM- | SELVES IMPEACHED, - Beach Anxious to Call Mrs. Tiltorn, but Evarts _Begs to be Excused. BEECHER’S SIDE ALL TOLD. An important stage of the Beecher trial was reached last Friday. -The case for the defense was rested, without the introduction of Mrs. Tilton as a witness, though the counsel for the plaintiff had signified a perfeet willingness to waive the legal difficulties in the matter and admit her testimony by mutual consent. The refusal of Mr. Beecher's lawyers to call Mrs. Tilton to the stand was a genuine surprise all around, her appearance in the case having been confidently expected by the public, who will hardly agree with Mr. Evarts; that her testimony was not needed in Mr. Beecher’s behalf. Her rejection will be comment-. ‘ed upon unfavorably, not so much thro’ any doubt that she would confirm the defendant’s denials of guilt, for everybody expected this, but chiefly because of a belief that she has been kept back to avoid opéning the door to the. confessions she is alleged to have made to Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony, and others. Upon this assumption, the general sentiment will be that by refusing to call Mrs. Tilton as a witness the defendant’s counsel have favored - her at the expense. of their client. - HOW THEY ;‘x‘ggiimov'r TILTPON, Human testimony is a curious thing. Theodore Tilton swore positively that he walked in the procession in honor of Roussel, the Communist, arm-in-arm with John Swinton. The defense undertook to impeach him by showing that he accompanied Victoria Woodhull'and Tennie Claflin on that occa'sion. The issue of credibility was } more squarely joined on' this point than on any other. The defense, however, introduced too many witnesses to prove their point. , One swore that he saw Tilton with Woodhull and Claflin in a carriage. Another swore that he saw the gentle giraffe walking between these damsels, carrying a banner, of which each one had a tassle. ~Others saw him under different circumstances, accompanied by the same notorious females.” Joln Swinton has now come forward and testified that he walked with Tilton arm-in-Arm throughout the day, and that Victoria and Tennie were not near them. Swinton’s wordsettles the matter, and proves, aiso, that the Beecher ¢rowd have introdaced somé: very untruthful witnesses. 5 WERE THEY ALL MISTAKEN ?

Beecher’s witness have sworn Tilton all over that Communist procession. They have ‘had him marching with Mrs. Woodhull, and riding in a carriage with .somehody, and carrying a flag, and in all sorts of places. John Swinton shed some light upon their inaccuracy :last Friday. He swore that he marched arm-in-arm with Tilton in that’ procession. If all ‘of Beecher’s witnesses .were equally accurate, he would have a strong case. ' . MRS. TILTON'S BROTHER.

Mr.; Richards, the brother of Mrs. Filton, on Tuesday explained the reason of his failure to.testify before the Plymouth Committee. He states that he was notified beforehand by Tracy that he- would be asked by the Committee whether his sister had to him ever confessed adultery; that under the belief that Tracy’s infoimation was true, and, not desiring to give testimony on this point, and, being assured by Tracy that a refusal to answer the questien would be construed as an affirmation that such a confession had been made, Richards kept away from the Committee. . A LETTER FROM MRS. TILTON, _ Mus. Tilton created a sengation in the scandal case yésterday. ' Immediately upon the assembly of the court she sent up a letter to Judge Neilson, with the request that he read it loud. Of course the Judge declined to grant the request, and, of course, it was known to the instigators of this extraordinary proceeding that he would so decline. The purport of the com‘munication Judge Neilson peremptorily refused.to make pwblic for the present, at the same, time indicating a desire that Mrs. Tilton should pursue asimilar with regard to furnishing copies the press until the Court had:first to taken some action in the matter. - Of gourse it was whispered about the court-room that Mrs. Tilton’s letter embodied a petition to be allowed to testify in the case, together with an asseveration of her innocence,—all, no doubt, in conformity with: the programme. The presentation of the letter was not a surprise to some of Mr. Beecher’s ‘lawyers, though it. was ‘wholly unexpected by Mr. Tilton and his counsel. It is difficult to believe that the step was taken by Mrs. Tilton on her own responsibility; she has been too comtqsté?ly cared for and too closely watc by the Plymouth people to do such a thing without the knowledge or against the wishes of Mr. Beecher’s friends. The inference is irresistible that this letter was written for the purpose of bringing to bearupon the jury, in and out of the court-room, the moral effect of Mrs. Tilton’s apparent desire to be heard as a 'witness in the case, and thus to overcome the unfavors: g}le' impression produced by the I,‘ef{"llsalvof the defendant’s counsel to receive her testimony; and also. to surreptitiously convey to the jury and to the world her protestation of innocence, without subjecting her to the ‘crucial test of cross-examination. The scheme bears the finger marks ‘of Tracy and Shearman, and will result in positive injury to Mr. Beecher’s interest.—Chicago Trebune, May 4. * . S

And yet they are called firstclass! But-you would never know it, were it not for the price, because they are.so plain’'and simple, and so like everybody’s else stove; but yet there-is a special reason why you should buy some one of them—or, at léast, the different agents for them tell :;you so plainly, and their circulars say so too. - Now, it is a-want of sense, we know, on our part, to say that ourstove is like nobody’s else; that it is not just like the old stove you have been'using; that it was .not originated by Mr. Long Experience, nor.is it copied from him.— .

If you use coal for fuel you broil over the fire, butif yonuge .~ .t o 0 e Slas e L ONOOD FOR FUEL L you broil below; partly dump the grate, or rake off from it the coals under - Jthe wood; they fall in the:sifter, and are kept bright from draft below (open, lower door).

You can have.an open grate-fire in'your stove, ‘'you can sift your ashes inside the stove without shoveling, you can roast meat beautifully and comfortably ; _you can toast bread - with equal facility and comfort,.and.you can do many, other things that you cannot do with any otlier stove on earth. Those stoves that are - not-complicated ” have long printed directions for running them, but no directions are needed to run”our stove; we will simply ask you, how-" ever, to see -that the Patent Damper we sendl with the stove'is put in the smoke pipe, and tb especially see that all extra -holes in &e,,’chimney are - “closed; don’t push the pipe into the chininey top far, so as.to cut off the draft.
