THE Fort Wayne Sentinel favors the holdin‘f of the Natienal Democrat~ ic Convention at Indianapolis. “That city has upequalled railroad facilities and excellent hotel accommodations,” The Democratic Conyention there, the Sentinel 't“hinks, ‘would kindle :an enthusiasm which would go far to carry this State at the election.

AT fionms, near Detroit, there is a PDeaf and Dumb Asylum which, judging from certain well-authenticated statements, possesses great advantages over otj‘:e:;institutions of that-charac-ter.

© CENTENNIAL APPROPRIATION. - For several weeks the daily journals have been well filled with articles on the proposed congressional appropriation of :$1,500,000 in aid of the grand centennial celebration. A great di-. versity of opinion has existed, and probably still exists, among newspaper men and private citizens as to the propriety of voting funds from the national treasury for a project of this character. It has been strongly insisted that Congress hasmo constitutional authority to thus appropriate public -funds, and that even if such autho;ity existed it would. be imprudent, to add to the already enormous ‘expenditures of the government. -On the other hand, it is contended that-the government cannot decently withhold its aid from a scheme that appeals direetly to the pride and patriotism*of the American people; that the-cen-‘tennial celebration of American independence should not be permitted to suffer for want of material aid, and that the grandeur and magnificence of the occasion would fully justify the appropriation of a million and a half of the nation’s treasure.

* The arguments pro and con are about equally balanced in point of force and weightiness. The appropriation of government. funds for anything but legitimate goiternmehtal expenses is-at best a-hazardous proceeding. It leads to abuses'which all good citizens deprecate. Yef, there are considerations-which render it exceedingly difficult for~¥mE BANNER to commit itself in opposition to a project intended to present to the civilized world a view of the wonderful achievements of American genius. It is -the only expenditure of the kind that can be incurred by the present generation; and the celebration being of a national chm-'acte"r_——tho’ people of the entire Union having an "equal share in the glory of its success-+—it can hardly be said in justice that Philadelphia should bear the whole burden. . e

‘ln the Lower House of Congress, the proposed appropriation has been elaborately discussed. .Able speeches have been delivered an both sides. Judge Holman, the “watch-dog of the treasury,” a faithful guardian of the public interest, has opposed the appropriation from the very beginning —not because he was insensible to the patriotic purpose for which it is intended, but for reasons of a strictly economical character. In this view he was supported by Democrats and Republicans. “The Southern members especially. found themselves in a peculiar predicament. = Earnest appeals were made to them by leading and influential democratic papers of the North to vote -against the appropriation. They were told that an affirmative vote would be a.flagrant violation of a ‘clearly established democratic doctrine, while on the other hand they were given to understand that negative votes would at once be construed, in the North, as the “cropping out of rebel hate.” To disarm ‘this ‘mean method of “argumentation” of its force, that eloquent Mississippian, Mr. Lamar, took it upon ‘himself to offer an earnest plea in favor of the ;ap-p‘ropriatio,h, by ‘arguing its_cbnstitutionality and its legitimacy. He said: <o N :

It was clearly and unqualifiedly, the duty of Congress to appropriate the money for that purpose.. He favored the celebration in -order that the people of the North should become: satisfied of the longing desire of the Southern people to live. with them in perpetnal union, and'before that feeling all'others sank into insignificance. He (Lamar) ad¥ocated the scheme because it carried out the spirit of peace and reconciliation. It wassomething like the image of the feeling of the people who demanded that the alienation and distrust which had heretofore existed between the two sections of. the Union should no longer obstruct the glories of the Republic or the ‘prosperity’ and happiness of the American people. As God was his judge, he did not believe that the alienation existed any lenger.. Never since Jefferson was inaugurated had the entire mass of the American people been animated by a purer, intenser, broader, more universal patriotism, looking to universal brotherhood and affection. He knew that that sentiment had not found its full expression here; that it had been kept down and smothered in the meshes of an intolerant political organization,.and thap its voice had not been heard amid the clamors. and appeals off impassioned partisans; but in the political; as well as in the natural. world, the agencies that were most powerful were not the most noisy. Violence, passion, fanatiéism, animosity, could always find voices, and fill the air with their factious clamors, while the deep and earnest feelings of' a people lay hidden .in their hearts. Thé currents of passion and feeling might flow ‘hither and thither, lashed by extraneous agencies, but there was a great sea of unsounded depths—a common humanity, a common interest, and a common patriotism—which lay unspoken. (Applause.) L Tt % - The vote on the proposition was, taken in the House on Tuesday and resulted as follows: For appropriation, 147; against, 130. Of the southern members 22 Democrats and 12 Republicans voted for the bill. Of the Indiana delegation, Cason and Hunter, both Republicans, voted for, and Baker, Evans, Robinson (Republicans), Fuller, Hamilton, Holman, Haymond, Landers, New, and Williams (Demo‘crats) voted against appropriation. -

. Amendments were adopted altering the’character of the $1,500,000 from a gift to a loan, the Government to be reimbursed out of the first net profits of the Exhibition, and the fund to be under the management of the Government Centennial Commission. The ‘Chicago 7'ribune expresses the opinion that the bill as amended is not objectionable to the mass of the people, and, as'it is quite certain to pass the Senate ‘and receive the approval of the President, the matter may bie congidered setfled. - = =

~~ GOOD ROADS. PLANS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR GET- : _ TING THEN. . : The People Awakening to the Importance of bk Practical Work. ' In last week’s BANNER, in an article on the “Importance of Goodßoads,” we made mention of the State Association for the Improvement of Roads, and referred to its recent meeting at Indianapolis. ' This is a new organization, having been formed last year, mainly through the efforts of Mr. Joseph I.lrwin, a prominent citizen of Colambus, who has for a number of years been one of the principal build- | ers and managers of an ‘extensivew gravel road system in Bartholomew county. The name.of this Association is suggestive of its object—to secure unity of action and effort on part of the citizens of the State for the adoptien of « better and more efficient system of road-building, which shall result in good and substantial thoroughfares in every section of our commonwealth. The inconvenience of bad roads dates back to the first settlements of the country, and it is somewhat remarkable that so little has been done in this State heretofore’ to remove the difficulty.. Local organizations have been formed in some localities with a view to aiding the State Association, but as yet there has been little accomplished further than to: excite discussion upon the subject, and to bring out an. almost uniyersal public sentiment condemning the present road system as insuflicient and almqst worthless. At their last meeting, the State Association adopted the following resolution: ' Resolved, That a committee of four be appointed to prepare and report a bill or bills on the subject of the road interests of the State, at a meeting of this Association -to be held in next October, to be then adopted or amended by this Association, and that .all resolutions, reports and suggestions on ‘this subject be referred to this committee; and that the committee

also prepare amemorial to the Legislature petitioning for'the passage of such ‘a bill as this Association -may adopt. i _ . ! J. L Irwin, of Columbus, was made Chairman® of this committee, and he appointed J. G. Allison, of Madison, Alfred Moore, of Huntington, and E. J. Howland, of Indianapolis, as the remaining members of the committee. The Secretary stated that.a circular had' been prepared and widely eirculated throughout the State, and that he. had received encouraging reports from more than twenty counties; that the same had been qu-blished and endorsed by the press almost without exception; that the people were dissatisfied with the present system and favored taxation for thebuilding of free gravel roads. : e There seems to be a growing sentiment in favor of abolishing the labor system and relying solely on a moderate tax, to be expended under the direction of competent engineers, as the "majority are:mmow ready to admit that the days’ labor required by our present system is little better than'a waste of time. - - ! | v " A PLANSUGGESTED. | In a rather lengthy communication to the Cincinnati Commercial, an Indianapolis correspondent, after pointing out the various defects in the present systeni, offers the following suggestions for their removal: = In each State a general legislative act,should establish all details of construction and determine definitely “what a road ought to be,” in accordance with the theory and practice of the best engineers. - Surveys should be made of all thegdeading roads, and profiles and plans of them prepared, so that it might be seen at once in what way their lines could be most efficientIy and cheaply improved. . “The personal labor and ‘commuta-

‘tion system ‘should be entirely abolished. If the town meetihg would ‘vote a tax in money of half the amount now levied in days’ work, its’ expenditure, under the supervisién to he presently described, would produce a result superior to the present one. When the road is a great thoroughfare, extending far beyond the town,. it would be unjust to levy on itall the expense; and a county tax or in extreme cases, a: State appropriation, should supply what might be necessary. In regulating the expenditure of the money raised, the fundameéntal principle, dictated by the truest and most fargighted economy, should be to sacrifice a portion of the resources of the road to insure the good employ--ment of the remainder. The; justice of this principle needs no argument; its best mode of application is the only difficulty.” The first step shou/d be to place the repairs of the road u nder the charge of a professional road ' maker of science and experience. - On his skill-will depend the condition of ' the roads more than on local circumstances or expenditures. His qualifications should be tested by a competent board of examiners, .if he should ‘not have received special instructions in requisite knowledge, such as might well form a peculiar department of education in our colleges and Normal schools. As each town by itself could not afford to employ a competent person, a number of them (more or less, according to their wealth and the im-. portance of .the roads within their "bounds,) or the several townships, districts or counties, through the territory of which the road passes, should unite in an association for that spe--cial purpose. j The engineer thus appointed should choose, in each township, an active, industrious man of good education,-to. act as his deputy in making.the expenditures in that locality and as foreman of the laborers employed during the season of active labor on theroads. This deputy wmight be profitably employed during the entire remainder of -the -year, in constantly passing over in due rotation the whole ling of road or roads under his care, and making himself the slight.repairs ‘which the continued wear and tear of the traffic would render necessary. If taken in time, he himself could perform them; but if left unattended to, 'as is usual under the present system, till the season of general repairs, the | deterioration would increase in a geometrical ratio, and perhaps cause an accident to a traveler, which would subject the town to damages tenfold the cost of repairs. © | v ~ - The laborers hired by the deputy in each town should be employed by piece work, as far as practicable. This can be carried out to a great extent, were the Superintendent to measure .accurately the various deseriptions.of the work and to estimate their com- | parative difficulty of execution. When the work cannot be pr(:ger}y executed by - portions al'otted one man, it may be taken hy gangs of four or five, who -should form their own associa~ : ftiidnig' ; zéaeke' a cgmmo L .barcgain: agg ivide the pay. In work not susceptible to definite calculation as to quantity. or quality, and in such only, day labor muy be resorted to under a cone ey e b S T e s N e

him, the deputy, to be held responsible for the quality of the work and its cost. In sueh a system as has been here sketched, the money tax would be found to be not only more equitable than the personal labor system, but even less burdensome. None of it ‘would be wasted; and those who had skill and strength for road work would receive back, in wages, more than their share of it; those who were ‘skilled in other work might remain at that which was most profitable to them, and pay only their simple share of the road tax, not double, as when they now commute; and the only losers by the change would be the indolent. who were useless under the old system, but under this would be obliged to contribute their share, while great gain in every way would ensue to the community at large.

: IN WABASH COUNTY an Association for the Improvement of Roads has been organized. At a meeting held on the 15th ingt., they unanimousiy -adopted the following resolution: : e - Resolved, That the several townships of the county be requested to hold township meetings at their usual places of holding elections, on Saturday, Feb. sth, 1876, at 1 oo’clock P. M, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of making an entire change in-the manner of working the publie roads; and that each township send at least three delegates to the meeting of the County Association, to be held at the Court House, on Saturday, the 12th day of February, 1876, at 10 o’clock A. ».; that said delegates be instructed. by said meets ings to report the condition of their respective localities, as to gravel and other materials for the construction of permanent pikes. Also, the amount expended by the Supervisors, and the. real value of such work to the rovads, together with all other information bearing upon the subject of roads and highways, and particularly as to whether the people are in favor of free pikes. :

[ 7'IN CASS COUNTY the subject of building -gr:Wel roads is being -earmestly discussed by farmers in several pdrtionsgf the county. It is understood that the County Commissioners will give 8500 per mile for every mile of first-class, toll gmvél road completed in the county, and three or four companies are nearly ready to be organized, with this incentive, to build such roads. This, the Logansport Journal remarks, is a work full of promise and benefit to the farmers who can- secure such roads to their market. It will enhance the value of their farms. It" will greatly increasestheir profits by enabling them to take advantage of. the market, at any season of the year, and by stignulating the production of the minor articles. It will add immensely to their comfort, convenience, refinement and culture. The highways of a county mark its progress.in civil< ization., Therefore, it may be said that this work of building good rodds is a fnoble as well as a profitable enterprise.: ' ' e ‘The construction of good, substantial thoroughfares is very appropriately said to be one of the first indications' of the emergence of a pebple ‘from the savage state, and their improvement, keeps pace 'with and makes the advances of the nation in numbers, wealth, industry and science—of all which it is at once an element and an evidence. What will Noble couq_ty' de to further reformation in our road system? Let the farmers, mechanics and business men talk the‘matter‘ ‘up among themselves and report to Tue BANNER the result of their deliberations. P ‘ :

Suggestions About Road-Miaking. To the Editor of The National Banner: frifled DEAR Sik:—l see that the subject of our roads is being discussed fllfOllgh the columns of your paper. It is a matter that interests us all, and I havie frequently wondered why the ‘matter has not been more _gerierally brought before the public. The bad roads this winter is éomething more than we have been.usually accustumed to, but as is usually the ease in many other ‘things, the .defects are more easily pointed out pf;thé existing evil than the remedy. ’ There is no denying of the fact that there is annually a large amount of money spent on the highways of the country for no good or effectual purpose—not purposely or intended to be 80, but .it is done by inexperienced hands| and upon an unskillful principle. This ig in'part owing to our defective road law, so frequently changed without a knowledge of what isreally wanted. And what little good is left in the law, by accident, is not carried out by those who have in hand the execytion of the law. ; One great evil among us is (and it is a general one, you will find it wherever you go), the coxjstruétion of all our public highways by the owners of the land on each side of the game. There is scarcely a road in this (Elkhart) county that has its full width as contemplated by law, and actually some State roads are redueed in width to mere lanes. To remedy this evil, it is easier to tell how, than to doit. We all see the defect and acknowledge it to exist, but to remedy such an evil requires the efforts-of more than one or two individuals, and it is useless for this or that Supervisor to order people to remove their fences out from within the road boundry, unless there is a gen'eralfanq a higher authority to enforce it thro’eut the county. As a general thing, we are'more favored by our natural soil to have good roads the year round than many other sections of our country, but in low places or in clay soil, where it required plowing or fillingaup, and particularly in these narrow lane roads where there is just room enough for one track, such a winter’as this our roads ave dreadfully bad., To cure -and apply the remedy for all evils existing among us, there always will be various opinions expressed by different individuals, and to discuss all matters of public interest in a calm and honest manner would be benificial tous all. Yours &e, I . BELKHART COUNTY TRUSTEE. |

“ PaE Terre Haute Hawpress says: One of the peculiar facts disclosed by the discussion in the House is this, that the colored members are all for amnesty. They probably well represent their people, who are noted for forbearance and kindly.feelings, and for a preference for peace. As the blagks furnish nearly the total republican vote of the south, it may be that the “bloody shirt” statesmen are overdoing the thing of fighting she war anew, so far as hope of southérn Presidential support lis concerned, Grant, who stands pledged to universal amnesty, is the stronger with the blacks because of that pledge. = .

INDIANA'S PRIDE. Annual Showing of the State Schocl : ! i Mgster,. . .- INDIANAPOLIS,*Jan. 24.=The annual report of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction has Heen submitted to the Gowjernor, from. which is taken the following extract: The total enumeration of school children for the year ending November 1, 1875, was. 667,736, being an inerease over the preceeding year of 13,372. Of this number 340,514 are white males and 317,434 are females; 4.940 are colored males, and 4,848 females. A summary of the Common School. Fund iudizates the amount held by counties June, 1875, $2,458,407.81;: non-negotiable bonds, $3,904,783.20. Total Common School Fund, $6,363,191.02.- Add to this the Congressional Fund, which is $2,436,000.62, and it makes the grand .total $8,799,191.64, which is an increase of $87,943.33 over 1874.° The resources from which the school revenue of 1875 are derived are designated thus: State tax, $1,577,513.19; interest gn Common School Fund, $192,271.52; State’s interest on non-negotiable bonds, $234,287; unclaimed fees, &e., $3,200.85. ' Total amount, $2,007,292.55. “Fo this add Congressional township school revenne, $181,159.80; local tuition tax, $768,528.92: and proceeds from liquor licenses, $202,865, makes the total amount of tuitien revenue to November 15; 1875, $3,159,846.27;" receipts for tuition, $2,066,785.19; receipts for specific purposes, $1,882,094.24. Total, 4,948,859.43. Valuation of school property, $10,870,338.18. ; Comnsiderable space is given to commenting upon the management of the scheol funds and revenues, in which the Superintendent observes that although the Schiool Fund of Indiana is now larger than that ef any other State it will not long remain so, unless some wise provisions are made for its more permanent growth. The suggestion .is—made that the only way to keep the school funds intact is to provide for a more speedy sale of forfeited lands, to require the counties to make up any deficiency whieh may thus result to the fund. Reference is also made to the:delinquency of borrowers of the School Fund paying the interest on the same, by reason of which several counties have been: obliged to advance considerable sums to the State to balance their accounts. The recommendation is made that the various Congressional Township Funds be consolidated into'a Common County Fund by which it could be more easily and safely managed,,

Lu'cy Jane Eley vs. Jacob M. Eley. ‘A decree of divorce was granted at the October term last, but was not entered on record. A wnunc pro tunc entry ordered. . S d . Anna E. Babbage vs. Jacob Reyher —Breach of Promise. This case was the main feature of the last term of court. Anna and Jacob -were duly engaged to be married, and time fixiedr from time to time, until Jake grew weary waiting, and desirous of getting at thé “bottom facts,”l as brother Beecher would say, he deemedlt highly important to bring matters to a: erisis’ And he did so by marrying another lady. This put Anna on the “ragged edge,” and Jake was duly in‘ vited by the Sheriff to put in an dp\: pearance before his Honor,Judge Best, and answer for his naughty conduct. Jake came and O\Vfiecl to the engagement, but charged the blgfne of its breking on the young lady and that he acquiesced in it. “The love. letters, and they were many and loving, were intreduced and read, to the amuse‘ment of! the crowd; and ithey show that Jake is an adept in love-making. Many hours were spent by counsel i@l discussing the ‘éase, Judge T()_usel’v' alone occupying o%rer,sé"ve'n hours one ‘day.. Mr. Prickett, who had the close’ of the angument, had scarcely begun his address to the jury, before he was taken suddenly ill and court had to adjourn. This was a great disappointment, notonly to his co-counsel, Judges Tousely and Wildman, but al-, 50 to a large audience, including many ladiesg that had as;embled to hear Mr. Prickett, who had prepared hitgelf ‘with-great pains and labor to acquit himself of the part assigned him in the argument of the case. J udgq Tousley closed the case and the jury retired to their room, to returniin. good time with a verdict for Anna for $400..- Jacob, by counsel, moved for a new trial, which was overruled. Jacob then prayed an appeal to the S'ti_i preme Coul'ts; which was granted, and bond required in the sum of $l,OOO. So we may hear of the case again. Lewis Hite and Minerva Hite vs. E. W.
