~ Brarxe was fearfully used up in debate, one day last week, in ventur; ing upon a discuséion with Mr. Lamar on the impeachability of ex-Secretary Belknap. Mr. Lamar drove Blaine completely to the wall and demonstrated conelusively that the latter understood much better how to swing the bloody shirf than ‘to argue constitutional questions. * The discomfiture of Blaine was hugely enjoyed. |

“IT IS VERY APPARENT that Mr. | Blaine has of late lost considerable.of his prestige as a presidential candidate. His course sinee the delivery of his Andersonville-Jeff. Davis speech has been such as to impress thoughts ful ohsefverq with t@e idea that he has been patterning after the congres‘sional bully, Ben. Butler, instead of ~assaming the attitude of a well-mean-ing statesman. He seems to have overlooked the fact that statesmanship is more enduring than demagoguery. ' His fierce denunciation of old Jeff. had made him the lion of the 'day.ind gave great impetus to his presidential stock.: Had he ‘been contentrwith that achievement, and had e followed it up with evidences of a sincere desire to promote the public good, instead of engendering party; strife on every possible occasion, Mr. Blaine would have made himself a most ' formidable candidate for the White House. As it is, hehas liter“ally talked his chances to death. His defeat for the nomination 'isy almost reduced to a certainty.. The eyes of discreet Republicans are now tufned to Bristow: e

" AFTER Belknap comes Robeson’s tarn. This magnificent slinger of public funds wants $23,000,000 for next year's expenses of ‘thé navy department after spending $18,500,000 for the present year. Robeson still dreams of Spanish invasion and is heroically m to keep the navy on a war footing. A presidential election is ap_proaching and provision must be made ‘%o ‘il up the navy yards. Live oak by millions of feet is rotting at the ‘maval stations and more - contracts ‘must be given out to favorites. Still 3t is believed that the estimates ff, iSecretary Robeson can be, reduced $o the extent of ten million dollars withjout impairing the efficiency of the public service. In the war and navy departments alone it is estimated that mot less than thirty million dollars’ ean be cut off the extravagant de: mands of Belknap and Robeson.

. TAXATION OF NORTGAGES. . - We notice among legal reports the statement that the Supreme Court of California - has recently rendered a decision whicli, if it is to be taken as a precedence in other Stdtes, will prove of the utmost importance. That tribunal has decided by an almost unanimous bench; only ong out of five dissenting, and He giving as yet no ‘reasons for his dissent, that the tax‘ation of mortgages or other evidences ‘of debt as property is illegal and unconstitutional. - This decision is in the i broadest and clearest terms. It meets the whole subject, rejecting all mere technicalities and side issues, assert- } ing squarely and positively- that the taxation of mortgages is illegal, De- ; éause, to use the language of Chief - Justice Wallace, “Mere credits are a “false quantity in ascertaining the sum of wealth which is subject to taxation as property, and in so far a# that sum is attempted to be increased by the | addition of these credits, property tax- ’ ation, bas‘ed thereon, is not only mere“ly fanciful, but necessarily the uncon- | stitutional imposition of an additionE al tax upon a portion of the property ' already bnce taxed.” " If this be good law in California it certainly ought to -be in most other States, for the decision is based solely upon' the com- } mon-sense principle enunciated above, and upon the clause of the constitution. which provides that “taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the State,” and all property in this State, shall be taxed in proportion to ' its value, to.be ascertained as directed IBy law.” These rules are, of course,

t~embodied in some shape in the constitution of every civilized community. E""A's to the-practical effect of this kind «of taxation, Chief Justice Wallace,in : his' concurring opinion, shows with perfect clearness that it is the debtor after all’ who pays the double tax. The contrary is so often and .so passionately asserted by those who advocate - this species of taxation as bearing upon the money lenders, that the chief justice felt called upon to say: “The taxation thus imposed nominally upon credits having resulted in, the dduble taxation of the money, the ‘additional tax must of course be paid -by 'some one. And here all human ' experience, as well as the settled theot ries of finanee, concur that it is not the lender who pays, but the horrow-

er. The borrower is the' consumer. The interest which he pays to the lenderis the prime cost of the delay for which he has contracted. .If the'governmeixt by, the«:impo'sitvion of additibnal taxes, increase the cost, the borrower, being the ‘consumer, niust pay it.” Tne BANNER is disposed to think that it would be better to shape t-;t;ation in such a' manner as to exempt the debtor from paying taxes upon property to. thé amount : for which it is mortgaged. In other \\'bl‘gls, we believe the true system of, taxation to be that which requires a man to pay taxes upon- what he actually, not nominally,owns. A change of the law to this effect would be a 'stie'p in the right directiom. - o

. | THE SCHOOL HOUSE MATTER. . . After’ giving a patient hearing to ith;e; darguments of counsel in the mat‘ter of the petition of Lewis J. Dunning, Trustee of Perry township, for pérmls.‘sion to incur an ind‘ébte_dness of $7,000 to aid inthe construction of a joint graded school house, the Board of County Commissioners decided in favor of granting Mr. Dunning’s petition, but reduced the amount to $4,000, which amount, together with the tax already levied, he is permitted to e){tpend for the purpose named. . |The friends of the School House ';f)r"oject readily acquiesce in the decision of the commissioners,.feeling .{msurred that the latter have carefulv considered the matterand rendered decision that ought tolal'la.y all turthr opposition” on part of those who deemed it their duty to remonstrate against Mr. Dunning’s proceedings. The amount to be contributed by the township having been lessened three thousand dollars, it will be difficult to convince the intelligent and enterrising farmers of Perry township hat they are likely to be seriously afected by the tax necessary to be im-osed-upon them during the next two ears for affording them adequate facilities | for the proper education of their children. - - - :

| Whatever strife and contention may have been ‘engendered by the agitation of this matter during the past /few months, it ought now be the aim lof all (well-disposed citizens to . har‘monize conflicting opinions'and unite ‘the whole people of township and town in a common cause for the 'speedy ~consummation of the noble ‘work of rearing the proposed “temfple -of education.” Tet us ll);?ty'e'no further bickering,normore wrangling.

THERE may be differences of opinion among Dem'ocra‘ts .in Congress on the currency, or the taljiff, or the Tex-as-Phacific railroad, but they are thoroughly «united on the subject of retrenchmenc and reform in the administration of the government. . The former are q;u,éstio,ns of publie¢ policy _upou which there will be_a conflict of /opinion, but the reduction of extrava|gant expenditures isa matter of politLical morals. Already the Democrats ,!in Congress have reduced the current expenditures to the extent of .many ‘millions of dollars. “In one item, that of fortifications, a reduction has been made from $3.000,000 to $315,000.

TIIE NEW HAMPSHLRE ELECTIGN. A. D. Banks, Chflirman of the Démocratic Central Committee, in an interview, last Saturday, stated that he expected the Democrats to carry New Hampshire by avout eight hundred majority. He says the democratic majority would be thousdnds if the Republicans , had not levied assessments on every Post-office and Cus tom-house on the Atlantic Coagt, and flooded the State with money. " THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO GET RID OF HIS LOAD. | Charley Toster, of Ohio, received an ix_xv;tutiou the other day, as a inember of the Appropriation Committee, to'call at the White House and con: sult about the cruel manner in w'hi:ch‘_ the appropriation for the President’s, palace have been cut down.

THE TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE BAB- _ COCK AFFAIR. : "+ The President and the AttorneyGeneral, realizing that Mr. Knott’s Select Committeée will inevitably trace the Babcock evidence from Dyer’s hands to the White House, and thence into the hands of Babeock’s counsel, have determined to explain mfatters by charging Babcock with 11u1'16i11i11g it and giving it to his counsel. Babcock has agreed to assume the odium. The facts are, and they will come out on investigation, Grant and Pierrepont induced Dyer to disclose to them his evidence against Babeock, on the pretense that the President wished to know the exact facts in the case for his own guidance, representing that if the evidence in Dyer’s possession showed Babeock guilty beyond a doubt, he (the President) would at once dismiss him from the White House. This was the trap Dyer had feliinto, and as soon as he had given away his evidence it immediately found Its way into the hands of Storrs and Porter. by way of the White House. Itis easy enough to explain this on the theory of Babcock’s theft, as far as‘the documents are concerned; but as to the oral evidence, it is obvious that Babcock could not have stolen it without assistance. The fortunes of the crowd are getting very desperate. -

PROOFS OF THE EX-ATTORNEY-GEN- ’ ERAL’S MALFEASANCE IN OFFICE. Slowly but. surely the coils of evi:dence have been tightening about the official life of ex-Attorney-General Landaulet—Williams, and at last the proof of that has long Been ‘believed of his official turpitude is believed to be in hand. It is stated positively by a member of the House, that possession has been obtained by one of the ‘lnvestigating Committee of an autograph letter of Williams, which is of itself conclusive proof that while At-torney-General he sold himself and his office, in one instance, for the surh of ' $2,000. The committee feel that this is only the beginning of disclosures in the Department of Justice, but it is said that the evidence of this letter alone is abundantly sufficient ground for an action of impeachment. BLAINE WEAKENING., ‘Blaine having concluded not to leaye the country until it gets @ little hotter, appeared in the House last Mon'day, and received the most terrible backset he has had this season. Mr. Béxker, of the 13th Indiana District, tried to play Morton’s role by offering | resolutions about this being a Nation, &c. The House refused to suspend the rules to receive them. Sunset l Cox then offered a series of resolutions pn the same subject, drawn up in the langwage of the constitution, ‘defining the rights of the States' and ‘the Nation. Blaine jumped to his feet, threw up his arms, and yelled: «T hope no Union man will vote for those resolutions.” Half a dozen Republicans, Hoar among the number, jumped to their feet, yelling like Digger Indians. Speaker Kerr hammered them down, and, notwithstanding Blaine’s effort to whip in the Republioans,’ they ignored him,. the rules e ik an al

vote is a strong indication of Blaipé‘s waning power. . ! ;

Perry Graded School House, N ééos:sitj of Aﬁciitienél Facilities “fgr ' Educating Our Youth,

‘Trustee Dunning’s Reasons for Fav. . orihz the Profect. gL L g i L : To the Honorable Board of Commissioners of Noble Conuty* i § . 3 During my official career as School “Prustee of Perry township, for the past three years, the subject of edujcation and the proper appliances and facilities 'for educating the school children of my towuship,” has fr¢quently and in warious fornis been brought to my attention, Huving given "the subject the cousideration which its importance so richly merits, and caretully weighing the numerous points thus presented, I-some time since reached thé conclusion that there exists within the province of my ju;‘-; isdiction’ a manifest necessity for additivnal facilities for the education of our youth, and that it became my duty to cast about for supplying, if possible, the wanis of (he community. It may be asked: Wherein‘are your ‘educational facilities insufficient or inadequate? 1 answer, in many reYsp"ects. In the first place, the necessity of graded schools is so generally ‘admitted as not to require argument. Secondly, the difficulty, it not impossibility, of inaugurating a graded school i in ¢ach district,is equally well undesstood. Thirdly, the desire for a better k and more thorough education than is I obtainable under ‘our present system is constantly becoming more widespread. Fourtnly, the sending of our children to Valparaiso, Plymouth; Elkhart, South Bend, &c., for the purpose ‘ of-obtaining that which we ‘cannot now supply, dén_)(mStmtes most conclusively that our'eitizens keenly. ex- ‘; perience the want of. proper. educational facilities, | .

In patiently listening to thie manifold revelations relative to these deficiencies, I have efdeavored to obtain some knowledge of prevailing public opinion, with a view, to utilizing the practical features thus devel(‘(pe,d, in maturing a plan for surmounting the disadvantages under which we have been and are now laboring.” The resu;lt;‘ of these’ observations is the adoption of the plan most favorably ecommented upo-h, to-wit: A joint'graded 'school, equally accessible and equally. ben'e;ﬁcinl to pupils of township and town. That this plan had gained great ,pdpulurity in the community is attested by the fact ‘tbat, after being discussed. pro and con f()r.()x’(el;sfx moiths, a largely attended public’ meeting of citizens of Perry township, held on the Tth day of May, 1875, in the town of Ligonier, it fwas unanimously yesdlved that. a formal request be directed to the proper authorities asking-thatim-mediate steps be taken' for the erection of a Graded School Touse. =

| I can assure you with entire candor and truthfulness that my response-to this I'ehudst, so strongly and emphatically presented by a large portion of wy eonstituency, was not hastily formed nor inconsiderately given. I careI fully examined the law, and svught | every obtainable information bearing ! upon the subject. I also took into idue, consideration the stringency of j:the times, the burden of taxation, and i the possible effect upon the pecuniary 1 interests “of the people. Attaching | due importance and giving proper ! weight .to each and every ;point thus ! Cé)lxsitlel'etl, I was strengthened rather lfthem weakened in thie Lelief that the | great advantages 'i"esfnlt-'iug from the Lerection of a graded School louse l would so far exceed the comparative- | ly small sacrifice required of tlie péo- | ple us to render it my imperative duty i to accept the proposition of the School f Trustees of Ligonier, for the erection of a joint graded School Building. To have hesitated longer, or to have rejectegl the propdsition.entire, would have fastened upon me an odium’uhs der which I do' not want to rest even a single day.. To have the sons -of prosperous farmers, five or ten years hence, refer to me as refusing to pro- | vide them with the necessary facilities for enabling them to obtain an education which the progressive spirit of the age demands, and whereby they might have qualified themselves for the various responsibilities of intelligent citizenship and the pursuit of an honorable and remunerative occupation, by imposing a light additional taxation upon their fathers, is a pic‘ture from whieh I shrink with abhorrence. It shall not be said in derrogation of my dfficial career as School Trustee of Perry townslﬁp that 1 stood 'in the way of the young men and boys, who, though raised upon farms, believed they were as much entitled to ample facilities fora thorougly | education as were those who live in towns made up. pf citizens who do not begrudge a few dollars for so noble and glorious a cause as education.! 1 contend that the time has arrived for dispellihg the illusion that a farmer’s son does not require the advantages | of thorough education so persistently | demanded for the boys and girls of _towns, and that it will soon be, if net | already, understood that intelligence and science is as essential to succe:sful farming as to any other business or trade in the commercial world. Some of the schools of the township are very large, and the more advanced pupils aré compelled to either go elsewliere to complete theiy education at great éxpense, or they must quit school at a period when they are best fitted »to=acquire'knuv;r'l_edge in the higher branches. District No. 6 enumerated 90 and No; 374 scholars. These two districts could be lesseried in number of scholars by attaching a portion of their number to the corporation ol Ligonier, if there was room: But, unfortunately, every troom in the two school buildings is literally overcrowded, as appears from the statistics of the primepel. | - - Efforts are constantly being made on the part of advanced scholars from ‘the country to gain admission intc the schools at Ligonier; but their ap"plications must be refused for the simple reason that there is no place for them. , O entire disteich in Whisk | by e

schools whose rating is sufficiently high could be advanced to grade, and instead of seeking admission into the corporation schools, would have all the rights and privileges afforded by the joint Graded School. =

- Impressed with the edrrectness of this view, I entered into an larrangement with the Trustees of Ligonier corporation for the erection of a building in which the advanced scholars of the township could all find accomimodation. - No opposition was manifestedjfmm any quarter and I decordingly! levied a tax, in complianee with the’ provisions of the law, that my part of the agreement might be executed. Shortly before the letting of the contract certain parties began to organize opposition to this project byappealing to the prejudices of farmers and by making %4l sorts of misrepresentations as to'the ruinous consequences of my official action, by repeating the syren song of oppressive taxation. Many were made to believe that they, would be impoverished by the additional’ tax imposed on them. The shallowness of this species of ar‘gument is too transparent to require contradiction before a boardicomposed of int‘elligens public ‘a{)ﬁici:ﬂs,é’ whose interference against iy official act is SOgglx_t by way:of _rerhonstrance. .I need not call your attention to the fu'c\f that signatures to )pétitio‘ns and renjonstrances arve nob-difficult to obtain, especially whent circulated by crafty individuals who understand how to operate upon the minds of persons who iave not gone to much pains to ascertain the arguments of the ather side. \\'ithout) saying one word in opposition to the signers of these remonstrances, I beg leave to say that my information in regard to the needs of the rising generation, d&;riwed from patient invéstigation and an experience of three years, ought to be deemed equal to that of a few individuals who have labored so zealously to excite indignation against my action in these premises. I also desire to suggest Lhat an “earlier period should have been chosen by these parties to frustrate my ef‘forts at supplying the youth of the township with proper facilities for their education,- instead of W:"\liting until neatly nine months after the ‘levying bf-tlle tax for this purpose, and after incurring the expense incident to the inauguration of such an enterprise, I submit to your honorable sbc§;trd whether you would have abandoned the erection of a “county jail nine *Km’(mths after your , oflickal sanction of the project, if some energetic canvassers had traveled over-the county with a remonstrance, or whether ex-Comuissioner Wolf-would have dropped the county inﬁrmai'y- in alike manner for similar reasons.

Wis.; on-Fri- | day last. = Heretofore there has | been some’ apparent limit to the force of whirlwinds, and there has ]generally remained in their path | some monument of strength which has defied their assault; but in this ' case the storm appears to have been absolutely resistless. There was no partial demolition of objects in its course; no ruin simply of frail tenements, while stronger ones resisted successfully. All that the tornado struck ‘in its full force it ‘destroyed absolutely, completely. Heavy stone buildings werc crushed like;paper boxes, not by persistent beatings about them, but instantly, as if a colossal hand of iron had struck them to the earth. 'No instance occurs to us where thé destruction and loss of life have been so great, proportionately from such a cause. The whirlwind only struck at a few points in the village, but where it descended havoc and ruin were 'the result. Seven persons were/ instantly killed, and fifteen more or less severely injured while over twenty buildings were destroyLed. 'l:his in a small village of about 1 1,000 inhabitants. Something of the force of the tornado may be gained from the fact that a span of horses standing side by side in a barn were lifted sixty feet in the air, and carried a distance of twenty rods and dashed to the earth again, falling only ten feet apart and retaining the respective places occupied, when they were lifted from their places. One whole family named Richards, together with a neighbor and her. infant child, were killed, and so suddenly did the tornado strike the dwelling where they were assembled, and so quick was the work, that they were tound jn the very positions occupied erc the stroke descended, hav- | ing had apparently ro time to make even a frightened movement toward escape. Outside of the center of the whirlwind the force was of course moderated, and herethe destruction’ was only 'partial; but it seems that in the direct line of the tornade, ‘and the places where it fairly touched, nothing withstood it. It appears, also, from all that can _be learned, that the fearful visitation was confined to a.narrow limit, and that no other points in the vicinity suffered to any extent. The occurrence is a phenomenon which weather prognésticators would' do well to study, B
