- THE success of Secretary Bristow in the prosecution of the whiskyTirg thus far, says the’ Cinéinnati Gazette, has inspifed with terror the conspirators who remain unconvicted. The yawning of penitentiary doors reminds them that something must be done before it is forever too late. Accordingly they are bending’all their ‘energies to secure the retirement of Mr. Biistow from the Cabinet at the ‘eonclusion of the Babcock trial. They ‘hope to be ablé [to annoy the Secre‘tary in various ways until he will be driven to resign; but. failing in that, they will move heaven and -earth to produce a rupture between the President and Secretary.. As the motives and designs of these gents are fully known and understood, it is to be hoped their Tittle gamp will not ‘win. The people will stand by Bristow.

.. HON. GODLOVE 8. ORTH, This gentleman has been-chosen as the standard-bearer of ‘the Indiana Republicans for the campaign of 1876. His nomination on the first ballot by a vote of 1126 against 768 for all the oppesing candidates proves one of two things, viz: that neither of the opposing candidates was deemed equal to the emergency, or that Orth’s friends did some very effective work Dby way of impressing delegates with the merits of } the Lafayette statesman. ¥ oS S :

.| Notwithstanding the large vote cast for Mr. Orth on the first ballot, it may be asserted with absolute safety that he was not the first choice of the del‘egates -comprising the'cb_nvention, and_ that the honor was conferred upon him for the simple reason’ that of the men who aspired to. the nomination he ' was imquestioﬂlm_bly the: most prominent and ablest, Could “Gen. Ben Harrison have been persuaded to accept the nomination, it 'would'j have been tendered - by an overwhelming majority, if not by a unanimous vote.

© Mr. Orth ‘'was born near Lebanon, Pennsy]vania; April 22n§1. 1817; ‘was educated at Gettysburg College/Pennsylvaniai studied law and commenced practice in Indiana; was a member of the State Senate of Indiana in 1843, 1844, 1845, 1846, 1847, and 1848, serving one year as president of that body; was a Presidential Elector in 1848 was a member of the Peace Conference in 1861 ; served as a captain of a company of volunteers ' during /the war for.the suppression of the rebellion; was elected to .the . Thirtyeighth, Thirty-ninth,-and Forty-first Congresses; was elected to the Fortythird Congress for the State” at large, as a Republican, receiving 188,664 votes against 188,502 votes: for Hon. M. C. Kerr, the present Speaker.of the House. At the close of his last'term in Congress he was appointed Minister to Austria, in. which position he has acquitted himself very creditably. It is: stated that he will at once resign, in order to entér upon a vigorous canvass of the State.

Mr. Orth is in some respects a strong, and 'in others a weak candidate. e has a number of republican enemies in his congressional district and is cordially hated by some of the active republican: politicians of that locality. ITe has no spécial force as a popular stump-speaker. On the other hand, hie, enjoys the prestige of a suecessful politiciari-_and~ as possessing ample qualifications for the office of Governor. He is well versed in State affairs, possesses rare social qualities, speaks the German langnuage fluently, and will doubtless - exert himself strongly to achieve suecess for himself and his colleagues upon the ticket. e — - B— A SBERIOUS CHARGE. The Indianapolis Sentinel of last Friday, actilated by a desiré that-its “republican friends shall act intelligently in selecting %lleir candidates,” presented-a leaf from Mr.Orth’s his-. tory which, unless it can be satisfactorily explained, may operate sérioug_sly‘ against that ' gentleman during: the present campaign. The Sentinel ‘refers to a financial transaction /in which’ Mr. Orth was interested . as counsel, and says: - The full history .of this transaction will be found in volume 6, page 184, ‘of the Indiana reports, which can be found in any lawyer’s office. - The case is- Peter vs. Wright and therein is told how this man Orth was the widow’s friend! We do not see how the great Republican party of Indiana cain afford to nominate such ‘a man to fill the highest oflice in the State. - The highest judicial tribunal of the State has said that. he was in‘strumental in securing a deed from a widow by fraud, and he, at the same time, was her -attorney. Indiana is ‘not yet ready to make such a man Governor. We refer our readers to the full report. - . )

“We have hurriedly perused the history of the above case, in the volume 'Ecited, and hope evérybody'e]se willdo so. The ruling of the court places Mr.- Orth’s conduet 'in_ mo enviable light. Facts may, however, ‘be connecled ‘with the case that might possibly give the matter a less serious aspect., The people of. Indiaua, now that Mr. Orth is an applicant for their suffrages, have a tight to know all abéut this matter. If it is suscept--Ible of explanation, Mr. Orth ought to have the benefit thereof. ..If otherwise, he must ex&act to be held to account. . The fact-that the Sentinel publicly called atte_rftion to the case several days before the meeting of the .convention which nominated Mr. Orth, and the further fact that he has, since the rendering of the decision referred to, been repeatedly élected to positions of trustand honor by a commurity which must necessatily be familiar with the facts in the case, would seem to indicate the existence of mitigating circumstances that ought not to be entirely overlooked in forming conclusions. At any rate, we maintain that it would be manifestly unjust to condemn Mr. Orth before his version of the case is submitted for public scrutiny. Tur BANNER will direct its best efforts toward securing Mr. Orth’s defeat, upon principle; ‘but it is decidedly averse to preferring a single charge that cannot be’fully sustained by evidence.

~ Tue Democratic National-Commit-tee met in Washington City last Tuesday to fix upon & time and place for holding ‘the National Convention. June 27th was designated as the time and St. Lotis as the place far nominating 4 presidential ticket. On the first ballot, the vote stood:. St. Louis 14, Chicago 8, Louisville 7, Cincinnati 4, Philadelphia 4, Washington 1. On the fifth ballot, St. Louis had 21, Chicago 15, Cincinnati 2. The friends of M. Hendricks regard the selection of St. Louis as , favorable to that gentleman’s prospects, - - -

PINCHBACK’S case has been indefinitely postponed. This means that not enough republican Senators could be persuaded to vote for-his admission. The Louisiana Legislature wjll now elect a new man—a Democrat—who will doubtless gain admission without serious opposition. e

STRENGTHENING THE SCHOQL FUND, The falsity of the accusation that Democrats are indifferent as to the cause of ediication—a charge now and then preferred by the more unscrupulous portion of the republican press —is once more established by the fact that the committee on Education and Labor of the lower Tlouse of Congress has agreed to report a bill which provides for th%e application of the proceeds of sales of public lands to educational purfjoses. According to this bill, the net éroceeds of sales of public lands aré to be set aside for the education of khe peeple, provided that the act shalfi not have any effect to repeal, impair or suspe‘xnd any law now a.llowingi' the preemption of pub-lic-lands or the entry of public lands for homestead, nor as limiting in any manner the powers of Congress to.alter or extend the right of -homestead upon sudh lands. The power: of Con= gress over the public domain is not held to-be limited or abridged or as interfering with bounty lands. The Secretary of the Treasury 1s authorized at the close of each fiscal year to ascertain tllé’ﬁet cash proeeeds of the siles of publi¢ lands, and on or before July 31 of each year to apportion to the several States and Tefritories and the District of Columbia, upon the basis of population of.the said States and Territories between the ages of five and twenty-one years, the net proceeds of the sales of public lands for the ensuing year. There is a provision in the bill, however, that after five years one-half of said net proceeds and after ten years the whole of the same shall be set apart as an educational fund. This fund is to be invested in United States bonds bearing 4'per cent. interest annually, principal and interest payable in coin. Tfle first apportionment is to be,_;nade on or before July 31, 1876. ’

HARRISON’S FINANCE BILL, . WAsSHINGTON, Feb. 4th.—Mr. Harrison, of Illinois, introduced a finan"cial measure in_the House this afternoon, which he hopes will form a bond of reconcﬁiatiox}"\on the financial question between the §nflationists and the resumptionists. By his plan, section 1 of the Shekman shax}l is repealed, and also the resumption clauses of section 3 of the same act. Sectiog 3 is amended to make the Secretary of the Treasury is§ue greenbacks to take the place of national bank circulation withdmwn, provided that the aggregate amountoflegal tender and national bank notes shall not exceed the amount of theé,same'in circulation on January 14, 1875, the date of the adoption of the so-called Resumption act. The bill compels national banks to retain the amount of gold interest on their bonds urll‘til the gold -interest equals one-third of the bank’s circulation. The Secretary of the Tredsury is required to retain annually $16,000,000, gold, from the Sinking Fund, and deposit the same in the Sub-Treasury until the amount so deposited equals one-third of the amount of greenbacks in circulation. When this time arrives, which Mr. Harrison -estimates will 'be about eight years hence, the ‘Secretary of the Treasury must re‘deem $20,000,000 annually until a 'specie basis is estbalished. = | > — | supporting Home Papers. : The Columbqs ])qmocra.t of last week, after quoting an item from THE BANNER of several weeks since, ‘in regard to the duty of a community to ~support its local paper, and the class of papers that are worthy of such support, takes occasion to offer these very sensible suggestions, which are to the point and eminently worthy of public consideration:- . - : “A good paper, one that is conduct(éd with ' reasonably fair ability and fairness, and one that receives the -undivided attention of its conductors, needs no special appeals for support. Such a’ paper is- always in demand. Whenever a paper makes a business of making frantic appeals to the comniunity to sapport the “home paper” it may be set down as a reasonable certainty that there is something wrong either in the community or the paper—most usually the paper. Let the conductor of a such a paper make anewsy, lively sheet, brimming with local events, and neighborhood news, and he will learn ere long that he need make no appeals for support. This bit of news will be discussed in neighborhood gatherings—the paper will be given as authority for that item—“my last paper says so and so,” time and again iterated, first attracts the attention and finally -enlists the interest of those who before never thought of taking the paper, And first comes the gentleman and leaves his name, and another follows, axid another, and thg list swells and grows bigger every week:. The community has discovered its “duty” in regard to the local paper, but not until the paper has first-discovered its “duty” toward the community.” The subseribers to a good paper are, as a rule, like the office-holder, “none resign and few ever die;” that is to say, that when the publisher of a good paper once gets a subspriber, he has secured a reader that will continue with him for years. When the editor “lets up” in his duty to the paper there are none that will discover it sooner than the subseribers.| It is to the interést of the editor, as it should be his pleasure and px“i_deb to.do the very best -he can; not fitfully, but steadily, keeping in view every moment the end of | his weekly labors-—the issuance of a good paper. | T ,

‘The Independent Ticket. «“» This ticket is now in the field. The demacratic party should let it and its head, Mr, Franklin Landers, severely alone. If any nominee of the Inde-. pendent faction is endorsed by the Democratic convention, thousands of Democrats will vote against him.: We Jost nothing by there being an Independent ticket in the field in 1874, and we will lose nothing this year. ‘We are emphatically opposed to taking up Mr. Landers or any other independent. Give us a straight ticket composed 0f good, honest and competent: Democrats, and with a ‘platform better than that of the Independents and we can swlep the State. The Independent ticket in 1874 did not poll ‘a.single vote in this county, and this year it will not increase its vote.—.

FRAUDS IN THE NAVIY DEPARTMENT,

- The investigation of the Norfolk ‘Navy-Yard has produced so many astounding evidences of fraud, and ‘showed so conclusively that the navy has been prostituted forpolitical purposes, that the House Committee on Naval Affairs will investigate every navy yard on the Atlantic coast excepting that of Pensacola, and that of Mare Island oh the Pacific side, the distance to tliose stations being so great that the committee do fl?t deem it worth while to investigate them. The navy-yard here will be the next to receive investigation, and the results of Robeson’s mismanagerhent are expected to be develeped, as at ‘Norfolk. The Brooklyn Navy-Yard ’ will ‘also receive a visit from Mr. Whitehouse's committee. . = . SILVER FOR THE MILLIONS, | The silver question is receiving much attention in this city, and there is no doubt a Stl‘bné effort will be made during the present session of /Congress to practically restore the double standard of gold and silver by the coinage of a full-valued silver dollar, to be an unlimited tender with gold, except ag to debts specifically payable in gold coins in the present standard. - The proposition has many advocates among whatare termed “the soft-imoney men.” -~ 4

KELLEY; ON RESUMPTION.

On Saturday, Pigiron Kelley addressed the House at great length on the currency guestion, protesting against the, right of Mr. Blaine to speak for the republican party. 1 e afiirmed the constitutionality of the legal tenders, combatted Mr. Blaine’s theory that the natignal bank system was strong and solvent in_times of financial disaster and that distress and ruin would result from closing ‘up 2,100 banks, declared that thé crisis of 1873 was caused by the wild infla-tion-of private credit resulting inevit-! ably from protracted contraction, quoted figures to sliow that the HardMoney State of California waséles’s prosperous than such. States as lo6wa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and concluded with th_ei’ prophecy. -that the party which foreed restim pti:on;befo‘re the practical extinction of the national debt would be trampled to dez'%th by ‘the people. Other speeches were made by Mr. Pierce, of Massachusetts, on the Presidentialiterm :of office (in favor of w six-years’ term and immediate. inéligib;ilit-y_) and by Mr. Townsend,J of Pennsylvania, in ’fawor; of a resumptio of spécie-payment. BRISTOW’'S PROBABLE RETIREMENT. It continues to be the impression of weli-informed leading Republicans, most of whom are suppoxjteré’of the Administration, that Seeretary - Bristow’s retirement from the'Cabinet is inevitaple ‘at the conclusion; or soon thereafter, of the trial of General Babeoek. If the latter is acquitted the frignds of the President, say that he will ask Secretary Bristow to retire on the intimation that he has endeavored to implicate, the E ecutive hoysehold in a erime for tlleiiui'x)ose of destroying the pxjo§gects' (')f"\a Presidential rival. If he is convicted it is declared, on the other hand, that the President will, for that and other reasons, promptly = pardon Géxiexal Bahcock' and as promptly ask Secretary Bristow to retire. The current gossip shows that a- condition of ‘ things may arise by which Secretary ‘Bristow may be forced out, for it is ;‘ already an established fact'that the enemies of the Secretary aré endeavoring to procure the removal of Solicitor *-Wilsbn, ‘who has, in a measure, organized the raid on the ~Whisky Ring and arranged the details of its prosecution in the coyrts. Af the Solicitor should be rerri.oved,.i/t would, of course, be against the protest of ‘the Secretary, who would then feel impelled to retire. | :

o “TCAPONIZEDY e How a Mob Fixed the Destroyer of Another Man’s Happiness, ( The Crawfordsville Journal of the 19th inst. gives the following particulars of a cruel outrage perpetrated in Montgoniery county, Indiana: *© - ‘Thetlittle town of New Ross, eleven mileszeast of this city on the k, B, & W. road. was tha scene of an outrage last-” Saturday evening the like of” wihich was mever perpetrabed— in the eounty.. About 8 o’clock a party of five masked men entered the house of Wm. Lockman, a resident of that place, selzed him' and overpowereéd him, and, leaving one of their number in the house to guard his wife and < prevent her from giving the alarm, carried him around behind the house and castrated him. Their cruel and inhuman, work ogcupied only:two or three minutes, when L.ockman was releaséd and the mob escaped -by the back-way. Lockman re-entered the house, when his wife at once gave the alarm, and Dr: B. F. Adkinsiwas called tolook after the: wounds of the unfortunate man.: e o

This outrage is naturally coupled ‘with a difficulty between Lockman and . Joseph Hesler of the previous Saturday. That difficulty grew out of a criminal intimacy between Lockméan- and lesler’s wife, which the latter is said to have coufessed to her husband on the night of the 4th. A correspondent: who furnishes full details of the whole affair says that as. soon as this confession: was made Hesler visited Lockman at his house armed wWith a revolver, and calling him.out in the nighttold him that he had come to Kkill him. * Lockman begged him to desist till' morning, however, and Hesler went:away without shooting. .The néxt morning, the sth, Hesler attacked Lockman at Witt's restaurant, without shooting, however, but the men were separated by bystdnders before either of them had received serious injury. Later in the same day-Heslér obserived Lockmasn passing down the street, and drawing a revolver started after him'to shoo him, but Lockman escaped by entering ' the hall of the hotel and closing and bolting the door after him. . Lockman is described-as rather corpulent and about 6 feet high with’ dark complexion and straight black hair. His 'reputation is said to be bad, Mrs. Hesler being his second victim within'the past year. lle has a wife and two grown daughters, but his relations with his family have been so unpleasant of late that for three or four months he has lodged in a separate house, only eating with them. On theevening of the outrage, however, hre and his wife occupied the same house. e ' l
