TaE New York Journal of Commerce, apropo of the Grant-Blaine Anti-Catholic crusade, recalls the fact that in 1831 ot 1832, the Rev: Charles Constantine Pise, a well known dignitary of the Roman Catholic church, was nominated by Henry Clay as chap--lain of the United States Senate, -and was, elepbed by a iu_mnimous vote of thatbody. . = | :

' ALTHOUGH there was somé talk, shortly after the election in 1874, of putting the Hon. John . Baker off with a single term, it seems now to be. generally understood. that he will be renominated withqut serious opposition.

_ ELSEWHERE we publish the details of a horrible catastrophe which occurred in Cincinnati last Saturday. The accounts in the (/laily_ papers go .to show that there was literally no real cause for the panic, and that. the conduet of a majority of those pres- ' ent was not 'only unreasonable but disgraceful. The children’ on the : sta§e,°of whom theke were about fiYé hundred, did not share in the panic, and not one of them way hurt. A number-of persons. also, who had suf- ~ ficient' presence of mind to remain .fast in their seats, were unhurt. The. Indianapolis Jourial thinks thatas a rule this is probably the best thing a _person can do in such an emergengy.

- CROAKERS-HARD TIMES, - That hard times have set upon the people of the United States, is a fact so plain and perceptible that it were folly to attempt to conceal it. Thata great many individuals, not the least affected by business depression, greats ly exaggerats the extent of these hard times, and tlzus (perhaps unthoughtedly) Acontrib'ute to the general uneasiness, can be asserted with equal certainty. | In fact, no few of these same individuals are to-gay in a highly prosperous condition. Yet they persist in preaching hard times and impending ruin. The damaging . effect of these croaking expressions cannot be set forfh in a brief newspaper-ar- | ticle; nor isthis our present purpose. ‘ We intend, rather, to commend to the

class here referred to, a suggestion by the Rev. D. Talmage.. It i§ in the form of a prescription for hard-times, which that reverend: gentleman had given some time ‘since- in one of his lectures, and is as fellows: . That all® business men agree to talk cheerfully - and bopefully for one week. If they would do this, he believed that business would follow .the sentiment and revive also. A gredt many business men, he remarked, do nothing but croak, grumble and find fault.” And those who grumble -the loudest' are the ones who “are really making the most money. They do not complain because they arenot-doing a profitable business, but because they afe not ‘making ‘the vast and unreasonable fortunes which their ambition paints before their eyes. Foße D . ’ Similar views. were a sliort time ‘since proclaimed by the New York Commercial Advertiser, which remarked: Lo o LA T T We are “inclined " to- believe, »i'f' it were not” for the croakings .of the newspapers, trade would rapidly revive. | But nearly every newspaper in the land keeps harping on this subject, and in consequence a large majority of the mercantile world ‘hang on to their money, and the remainder, who are much wiser, but considerable fewi er in number, are unable:alone, to revive trade.’ . ik

Let no man.complain of hard times unless he actually suffers thereundefi; and even then : sucli* lamentations ought to be duly restricted. It is much better and more commendable to talk up business than.to talk it down. _ L oo

° WALL STREET BALDERDASH. <lf Wall Street money power falls down on the National , Democratic convention and forces a candidate, we want him to be an Eastern man, for we verily believe, if a hard money man is the candidate that the{East will have to elect him, if he ig elected. The Western Democrats Wwill not swallow down such work; they will not. vote against their.own interests, and’ another hard money administration will ruin the Western people.— Lebanon Pioneer.

. There is not the slightest danger of the national democratic convention being ‘cantrolled by Wall street. ~ Indeed, it'is'a gross insult to even intimate that.the great démocratic party of the Union can be controlled by a hand-full of speculators and money changers. = It is*furthermore a gross indignity to classify hard money Democrats' (who constitute at least threefourths of the party) with the operators’ of that locality. . TiiE BANNER will - yield a cordial support to-either of the gentlemen prominently rn}tmed in connection with the democratic nomination for the Presidency, feeling:fully assured that not ene'of them would for a moment think of lending encouragement to the financial vagaries so persistently urged by the followers of .theée Cincinnati Enquirer. The deméc’fatic doctrine of hard money will" prevail ~with equal certainty whether the demoeratic nominee be Hendricks, Pendleton or Tilden. That Ohio side-show may be well enough’ “to.take in” those who are nevér‘h'appy without being granadly humbugged; but men of sober judgment will beg to beexcused from being disgusted by its insipid performers. o : ‘ .

- TOWNSHIP - ASSESSORS.—AsS there appgars ”co be a qxiestion_in the I;;_;linds of many as to whether the law providing for the appoiritment"qfa-imun-ty asSessor was repealed by the last General Assembly or not, the Columbus Democrat states for the information of all interested that it was. The law as it now stands provides for the election, in each township, at the general election in Qctober of 1876, and every two years thereafter, of an assessor, who shall hald his office for two. years and until his successor is elected and qualified. The duties of the' assessor are the same as heretofore, ‘except in the miatter of assessing real-estate, which' now iis done every five years, instead of every two. As this assessment was made last year, no listing of real-estate will take place again until 1880. 2 i

A BiLL for an act to abolish the deatl penalty has’been introduced in the Maine Legislature, and embodies some novel features. It providesimprisonment at hard labor for life.instead of the death penalty; that in case of a person under a life sentence applying for a pardon, he shall for_ward his testimony and request for a pardon to the Justices of the Supreme Court, where a hearing .shall be had, if said Justices shall be of the opinion that new evidence had been produced conclusive of the.'applicant’s 'innocence. If they are then satisfied of the innocence of the applicant, the matter goes to the Governor and Council, who may grant a pardon or commutation of sentence upon conditions or restrictions.’ Tn lowa a bill has been passed for the restoration of the death penalfy, after a trial of more ‘uncertain methods. o

FROM"WAsmNGTQNfl .l)oifa'gu of Congress, Political Gossip, ‘ o &e., &e. ; 5 _CUTTING DOWN THEIR SALARIES. - Gen. Banning, of Cincinnati, Chair-' man of the House Committee on Military Affairs, has prepared a bill which seems to meet the approval ofa majority of the committee, reducing ‘the pay of officers of the army. General Sherman’s salary is reduced from $18,500 to $10,000; General Sheridan’s from $ll,OOO to $8,000; the salaries of Major Generals are reduced from 87, 500 to’s6,ooo; ‘Brigadier Generals from $6,000 to” $5,000; Colonels from $4,500 to $3,500; Lieutenant Colonéls from $3,500 to $3,000; Majors from $3,000 to $2,500; Captains from $2,500 to $2,000; First ILieutenants from $l,BOO to $1,500; Second Lieutenants from $1,400 to '51,200. It will be recommended that the Chaplaincy” be abolished entirely from the army.

REPEAL OF THAT POSTAGE GOUGE, The House of ‘Repreéentatives‘a few 1 days since passed a bill restoring the | old rates of postage on third-class mail matter, which was doubled in the Senate last winter. This applies to transient nqwspapei's, books, per-: iodicals, &c. The legislation of the last Congress, which was adopted in tlie interest of the Express Companies, is also corrected by the bill. The rates now fixed is one cent for two ounces of third-class matter and fractions tfierq:of. and eight cents per pound. The bill will no doubt! pass the Senate in a few days. Under this ‘bill.the postage on transient newspa‘pers will be one cent each instead of two cents, as at present. - / : Do A nlGJ[mEoi's MOVE. - The Committee on Appropriations, in ‘considering the Legislative, Judicial and Executive Appropriation bill, inserted a clause reducing the salary of the President to $25,000 from and after March 4th, 1877. The appropria‘tion bills now being prepared will cover four months of the next Presidential term, and the committee have provided ‘for the President’s salary, for that period, at the rate of 825,000 per annum. | Judge ITolman is a leading member of this committee, which is &n ample guarantee that this measure will not be. smothered.’

* REFUNDING THE PUBLIC DEBT. The Ways and Means Commjttee has agreed to report Mr. Fernando Wood’s refunding bill, which " is approved hy ‘Secretary Bristow.

'The Rockport (Ind.)

- GENERAL SHERJAN. J¥ie Declares that he Will Not be a Presidential Candidate. i CoLumßus, 0., Feb. 2. —Representative James A. Dalzell has just received the following letter from General W. T. Sherman: gl ; . .. Sl./Louis, Mo., Feb. 2, 1876. . Dear Sir: Your kind letter is just received, and though I thought everybody -knew my general opinions on the points of:your inquiry, I cannot hesitate to answer you in such a way as to admit of no misconstruetion. I never have been, am not now, and never shall be a candidate for the high office .of President before any convention or the people. I shall always prefer to see that office filled by one of the millions who in the ecivil war stood by the Union firmly and unequivocally, and of these I notice many names willing and capable. Prominent among! them is that of General Hayes, now Governor of Ohio, whom we know as a fine officer and a gentleman in every sense. : v I do not, however, wish to be misunderstood as presuming to advise anybody in the choice of the'man. My wife and children are strong Catholies, but I am not; that, howev‘er, 18 nobody’s business. I believe'in the common schools, and don’t stop over the little matters which seem to be exaggerated by the vress. In some quarters, however, these schools are extravagant, and indulge in costly buildings and expensive teachers, so as to be toe heavy a burden to the tax-payers. | This tendency ought to ‘be checked, which may easily be done without making it a political question. Belf-interest will regulate this, and make them free schools to all, and capable of -imparting the rudiments o&gm‘% glish education. S fi,flu ATy B A ”

- THE PRESIDENCY. What Politicians and the Papers Say About it, : Harper's Weekly and Parson Brownlow have indicated a preference for Hamilton Fish for President. " The old gentleman has doubtless every qualification for the office; but, like Charles Francis Adams, he is too dignified to be available.

~The other day the suggestion that Governor Fish should be made the next President was in size no bigger than a man’s hand, but to-day the mention fills nearly all the papers in the country. Governor Fish;would make a good President. He eats and drinks like a gentleman, he has good digestion, and he is wise, honest and patrietic. .It is doubtful if he ever did a mean fhing in his life.— Philadelphia Item (Ind.) , Sunset Cox has jokingly declared that Bill Allen is the coming man. ° - The World thinks Roscoe Conkling may as well give it up. .No “C” can be President. Think of Crawford, Cliniton, Calhoun, Clay and Cass. People cant “C” it. i

It was Buck & Breck in 1856. Shall it be Hen & Cur (Hendricks and Curtin) in 1876 ? i

The Goshen Democrat has hoisted a good ticket—Hendricks and Curtin; but in justice to ‘the latter a “G.” ought to be substituted for «J.” The, distinguished War Governor’s Jull fia’gi'onymic is Andrew Gregg Curtin. Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, has come out in a letter urging the, Republicans to nominate Gov. .Haye‘s, of ‘Ohio, for President, and immediately lt‘here ‘has developed a well organized 'ffa’ction who are giving him a lively support. It is said the Convention was called at Cincinnati, for the purpose of advancing Morton’s prospects, but it now seems (so the LaPorte 47gus says) that the friends of Hayes ‘worked secretly but . effectively in securing that location and there are many reasons for believing that it will greatly inure to the benefit of the {Ohio ‘man.’

Gov. Hayes’ friends:seem to think that Senator Sherman is not balf as anxious for the Governor’s nomination for President as he lets on in his letter. ~* Some are disposed to regitrd the letter a sharp trick.to keep Sherman in the Senate. .

Judge Sidney Breeze, of Illihois, is developing 'some strength as a democratic candidate for the Presidency. fTe is a méin of sterling quya]ities, and would make a first-class President: - _The little commonwealth of New Jersey has three distinguished democratic statesmen, either of whom wbulgl'm'ake an available candidate for the Presidency. They are, ex-Gov. Parker, U. S. Senator Randolph, and Gov. Bedle: g ‘ :

- The Pennsylyania Democrats will “either present Gen. W. S. Hancock for President, or ex-Gov. Curtin for Vice.. Jerry Black has one solitary supporter: in the person of James P. Barr, of the Pittsburgh Post, a man ‘remarkable for his. avidity to nomi‘nate, but far more noted as‘the destroyer of his favorites’ prospectis. Horatio Seymour—the noblest Roman of them all—is eccasionally mentioned in‘ connection with the occupaney of the White House. | : - Col. Morrison, the able chairman of the Ways and. Means'cvommittee, has expressed a preference for Judge David Davis, of Illinois, as the democratic candidate for President. =

Blaine and Hayes is said to be the combination most desired by sagatious Republicans. Morton has of late . lost much of his pretended strength. ; ;

The . Chicago T'ribune is of opinion that Roscoe Conkling’s eandidacy doesn’t amount to a pinch ‘of snuff, outside of New York. .

'+ The Vincennes Sun doesn’t hanker after any more crow in the presidgnp tial dish. It thinks the lesson of 1872 ought to be sufficient cause to reject the overtures of Cassius M. Clay, Andrew G. Curtin, or Gen. N. P. Banks. The N. Y. Sun is writing up Secretary Bristow as a-reform candidate for the Presidency. { If Tilden would consent to receive the Vice-Presidential nomination on the same ticket with Hendricks the Democrats would thereby cooper up a strong ticket. But of course Tilden would. not consent to that, aé)d his hard-money notions of curren¢y are so different from the bastard, softmoney notions of Hendricks that his partisans can in no event be induced to support Hendricks. — 2ilwaunkee Wiscomin (Rep.) * ; : Tl}e Wisconsin evidently doesn’t understand Gov. Hendricks’ position on the currency question, Nothing can be farther from the truth than the assertion that he is an ‘adherént’ of the soft money delusion. |

SPARTA C_ORRESPONDENCE. : EpIToR BANNER :—The fiat has gone forth, from a high power, that.l must write a local for publication in your columns, and as it is a new business for me I expect to be ecriticised unmercifully, However, I can stand it, 80 here goes: o

About all we hear talked of now is Centennial Spelling; Schools. :Some of the schools have raised their queta (82 50), others are making an effort-to raise the amount, and others still are not going to try. I suppose they will wait until the next centennial. - We had a teachers’ institute-at Cromwell last Saturday, and if it is not {resspassing too much I will give you a felv items theréfrom. The music was splendid. The clasg, under the leadership of Mr. John Hontz, cannot be excelled, considering the time they have practiced together. : Indeed, I have heard classes that had sung togefiher for years and could do no better. The question arose during the, institute, “Should ability to impart, -instruction in vocal music be a requi-} site qualification for a teacher in our common schools? " and why, or why not?”: Mr. E. W.-Hartsuck, to whom the question was addressed, answered in the negative, and I have been informed that some one present took offense at his ‘answer. - Now, at the risk of again giving offense, I must say that I agree with Mr. Hartsuck, and will try to give some of my reasons: 'ln the first place, many of our best instructors are not good singers, and, consequently, could not teach vocal music. Fhey would, therefore, be’ driven from the s¢hool-room and the children deprived of: their valuable services. Again,;we lfla..ve S 0 many studies in our common schools now. that it is almost impossible for a teacher to do justice to each ‘elass, and if voeal music were introduced it would take time from some other study that perhaps could not be so readily learned in any other place. Another:rea‘son is, that vocal music is taught in almost every neighborhood by efficient instructors who make music aspecial‘ty, and who would be driven from ‘the field and their business ruined. But to look at the other side of the question, it would be a very nice thing to have a clags in music and open and close the school with musie. ‘Perhaps some' time might also be.de-. voted to practice. For instance, we -might pass the noon recess of stormy | days in vocal drill, or any other time out of study hours, - .But enough on this subject. All the teachers present voted to have Clark’s grammar adopt- } ed by the County School Board at its next session. The attendance at our: institute was quite large and the aue dience generally well-behaved. The | next: institute will be held at Indian | Village, on the 26th jmst. - And now, for fear of trespassing on | your time and space, I will close unfil | 1 hear of some more flems.

CINCINNATI'S HORROR.

Sickexiing Panioé in Robinson’s ~ Grand Qpera-House Satur-

.. . dsy Eyeplng. . . THE- AUDIENCE STAMPEDED BY FRIGHT, And Nine Womeu and Children Stamped | . ‘and Suffocated to Death. - The-city of Cincinnati was the stene of a horrible ‘catastrophe, Saturday afternoon. At John Robinson’s Opera House a crowd of over 2,500 p‘ersgns, mostly women and children, had gathered to witness the “Allegory of the Great Republic,” when! the . curtain ~was about to rise, the calciuln light in the gallery had been turned on,and its glare was on the curtain, in a fed light. There was a slight hissing ‘and odor of the burning chemicals. Some sgtartled person cried “Firel!” The cry was taken up and went {rom mouth to mouth, and the fush began. Women and children were crowded to the floor and trampled upon, strong men raved like demons, and life was sacrificed for life without thought. Nine women and children were trampled to death, one lady died of frightin her seat, while numbers were maimed perhaps fatally. The scene was a horrible one, and-.»beyond ‘description. The panic was c_alUSed by ghe senseless cry of some' fool in the audience, and Jfrom no cause. . . P From Monday’s Cincinnati Enquirer we glean the following additional details; ' : Every seat . 'was occupied long before two o'clock, <At the time the panic oceurred every aisle in the house was filled with chairs and people sit-: ting on the steps: -the lobbies were also full. . The management of the theatre estimates the number in the house at over tywo thousand. Besides this there were between five hundred and six hundred school childugn on | and underneath the stage, who were- | present -to make up the grand tab--1 leaux and choruses of the:Allegory. It is probgmbly safe to say that never | before in'/the history of ithe OperaHouse wefe so many human souls crowded within its four walls at one fime. The stairways were crowded, even to the inclosed one leading from the balcony up into the gallery. Nearly a.thousand people who held tickets were 'crowding angrily around the door .on“the outside, unable to gain adwission, and yet persistently keeping up the wild mob, when there was no more probability of them getting through the door than there was that the day would become suddenly night.. ‘Such was the state of affairs: when ‘some one cried “Fire!” The panic which followed on.thé echoes of the fatal cry was fearful, and causes a thrill of horror to run 1 through the writer’s veins as he reealls it. It was pretty general, and ran through the whole house, but only at two points did it result fatally.. 1 The-first fatal result was at the foot of the gallery. A streamof humanity Wild:‘\i)';th fright began pitching headlong down the dark, inclosed and precipitous stairs,and landed ina bruised | and mangled heap at the foot. _This mass of hnfhanity must havé been five feet deep’at one time. " Out of it were taken four dead bodies, namely, those of Mrs. Alfred White, Harry White, her little son; August Loesch, ten years old, and Hattie Leslie, aged twelve years.” From this point the deadly panic spread to the stairway leading from the gallery to the dresscircle, and culminated at the doorway, where. two adverse crowds were struggling—the one to get in and the other to get out. Upon this;shouting, shrieking multitude poured the senseless mob from the balcony-stairs, un--4 til under’ the awful crush and jam women and children began to fdint and’drop to floor under the unfeeling feet of the mad throng. It wasbuta few moments after this that the {-erowd from the stairway began rush- { ingiout over the heads and shoukders of the “dead-lock” in the doorway. It was a fearful sight to those who saw it. It required but a few minutes for the boisterous outside element to:take in the awful situation, Then they endeavored to rescue the forms of the fallen from (the trample of the mob. 'But five more perished at this place, on the very threshold, while nearly half a score were crushed almost lifeless, . s

~ INDIANA NEWS ITEMS. . A Farmer’s Iné‘_asrancé«Ass‘ociation has been organized in Henry county. The members of the Association pay five dollars to eover the expense of organizing, and, in case of fire, the members pay an assessment not to exceed one per-eent, on the property insured, The property is to be insur‘ed for only two-thirds its value. Nothing but farm. property insured. _ Judge Bieknell, of the Floyd €ircuit Court, decided, by a very emphatic and positive ruling, during the present term, that the attorney’s fee clause of notes is null and void, in view of the late:legislation upon that subject. The judge regards the act 50 broad and comprehensive that there can be no evasion of the law, The gold coin clause used by some of the bankers -will also fall under the judge’s condemnation, o . While Edward Valentine, a worthless negro, of Indianapolis, was quarreling with his step-son, Chas. Love, a boy of 15, he was shot by the latter, and instantly killed. The boy states that they never could agree,and when the old man tried to caress him with an ‘axe he grasped the shotgun to frighten him, and in the scuffle which. followed it went off. His self-defense. story is corroberated. ~He gave himself up voluntarily, and has no fears of trial. e

1. The Champion Forger, " iThe life ¢f Rev.-E. D. Winslow, the Boston forger, is one that containg as much of the spice of life as any person we have read of in those latter days. He was: born at White Hall, N. Y, Sept. 86,1839, and at an early age studied for the ministry, at Concord, N. H.; and was stationed for the first time at Baldwinsville, in 186 v. At the opening of the war he‘enlisted _as a private in the famous Billy Wil‘son Zouaves, and was in various departments of the army, until he was discharged on- acconnt of ill health.. In. 1866 he was pastor of a‘church in Franklin, Mass. From thereto Boston, thence to Sedalia, Mo., where he®boarded:with Col. Ives, now of the Hote] Bates, Indianap6lis, thence to Brooklyn. He afterwards turned up as publishing agent of Zions Herald. From this he sook up the ecombined business-of preacher and speculator, until‘about a year ago he became publisher of the Boston News, and of the Post. A short time ago he commenced aseries of forgeries, which have been the wonder of the continent’ on account of their great magnitude, and done in such a manner that he was never suspicioned until he was safe out of the country. It is now supposed that he is in Holland, and as this government has no extradition treaty | with that government, it is safe to add that he will likely remain there longer than he ever has anywhere else. Whether he realized anything like a competence, is at, present only conjecture, but there JW 8 IS naNs Of IMOKE n¢ 1Y

A young lady named Woods came near being buried zlive at White Pigeon, Mich, last: Sunday. She was thought dead, placed in a coflin, taken: to the ehurch, when her life-like appearance caused an examination to be made and she was declared not dead. . There is a prospect . for a labor sfrike among the glass-blowers and workmen in that branch of industry at Pittsburg, which will, if the strike becomes general, throw out of employment fully five thousand men. The cause of the: strike is a reduction of ten per cent. by the manufacturers. .

The downright brutality of a Minnesota mob, who hanged a dying man at Plainview, in that State, is most certainly entitled' .to the palm. A young man named .Hathaway, murdered a Miss Slayton, at Plainview, a few. weeks:ago, and then made an unsuccessful attempt to kill' himself. On the night of Janpnary 30th, when Hathaway .was reported to be dying, a mob numbering about 50, seized the dying man and carried him out in the yard on a sheet, a rope was then put around his neck, when the sheet was torn by his weight, and the body fell to the ground. Thereupon six .vals ient men seized the rope, dragged the body toa tree, and a moment later I_lath@’ay was left suspended from a T ee. ' ‘

. 'The People Want Proof. | . There is no medicine prescribed by physicians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtue as DBOSCHEE'S GERMAN SyruP for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs.. A proof of that fact is that any person afilicted, can -gét a Sample Bottle for 10 cents-and*try its superior effect before buying the regular’ size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from: Germany, and its wonderful cures are astonishing everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it.
