Lamar, of Mississippi, from his place in-the House of Representatives at' Washing'ton, in consequence (‘)f’ impaired health, will be received with regret throughout the .eounfrv by all parties.

BELKNAP's most grotesque speculation was in the contracts given out for furnishing tonibstones for the national cgnieteries. There zire seventytwo of these places where’ the Union soldiers are liuddled together by ‘c’on‘'tr:ict Two "hundred and fifty-three thousand headstones were needed to mark the separate graves. The commercial aspect ofv: this melanéholy business was not 'lost upon the war secretary.” His Towa friends secured the job of if urnishing the headstones, with the advantage. of the Washington system ;of'hows-pocu_s which enables the highest bidder to circumvent the, lowest one. The dead soldiers were made to count as much per head in the contingent fund of the war office as the live ones who dealt with post-traders, o RO

Tie House Committeé on Patents at Washington having reported advorsely upon the, appropriation for an extension of the Wilson sewing machine patent, THE BANNER shall curiously observe how the matter fares in the Senate and ITouse. This is one of the monopolies. which can afford to disburse money very lavishly in order to protect its existence. . It isalso one of the/monopolies which has no valid claim :to longer life. The inventor has coined money out of his invention and ought to be satisfied. 'An extension of the patent js'simply a Congressional enactment 'that for another term of years purchiasers of sewing machines shall pay fifty or sixty dollars for machines that co¥t fifteen or twenty dollars. The conntry is too ‘poor for such extortion. , v ..

- Tue Lima, Q. Sun, of Saturday, eentained thiese particulars of the arrest of David Vermillion, charged with' incest. He is a farmer, about 40 years of age, and resides about four miles south of Westminister, Allen county. He owns a farm of forty feres, and is the father of severi ‘children, two of his dapghters being unmarried. According to the statement of his dapghter—victim of his lust—his _incestuous intercourse with her began in September last, being’ oft repeated, until no longer able to endure the burden of her horrible secret, she told the whole to her mother, who told it to the neighbors, and they laid the facts before the prosecuting attorney. When Sheriff Miller and-Of-fiech Gibson went to make the arrest: ‘Vermillion gave them the slip and ran’ ‘across the fields, through woods, un\qerbrush,- and over fences. Gibson, ‘being used to sach work, gave chase, and after running him four miles he ;surrendered, and .was brought here ‘and jailed, where he" will probably re~main till the June term of court. It is thought that Mrs. Vermillion has ins&itu_ted suit for divorce and’ alimony. Great excitément prevails in the neighborhood of Westminister.” “He is a disgusting beast, who should meet the severest penalty of the law,

RR B eNPRRS RO BRI THE PARAMOUNT. ISSUE OF THE COMT T INGSTRUGGLE. - - A noted writer, .in considering tle question, “What is the paramount Issue of the coming struggle?” very ‘truthfully answers: Manifestly, Hoh‘est Administration! Ingetting this, we get all-—without it, NOTHING.: Honesty of Administration involves ‘the turning out’ of disvhvoues‘t agents, the lopping off of exdessive expenditures, the reduction of fll{e army aud navy to a peace standard, 'peac_e_‘ with .the Indians by gtdherzmee to our treaty ‘obligations, prosperity in the South ‘by: allowing the peoplé to govern ‘themselves, Honesty of Administration involves the breaking up. of all ‘ i‘corrupt‘ rings which lgave,' .plund.ered' ‘the people thirough the District Gov'ermﬂent,_ _the Internal and External ‘Revenues, the Indian, Land and Patient Offices, the Postoflice ring of fraudulent mail contractors and thiev- ; ing ofﬁ'cials,;the prohibitive tariff and | railroad subsidy systems, the land t grabbers . and. pension thieves, the enormous corruption fund of United }States Marshals and the imprisor - ' meént of citizens by them for election ! prrposes. Honesty of Administration, in short,involves the -restoration of !Sonngl principles of finance, and the tight of local and self government. ‘ None;ofﬂ]ese‘ tliil)gs‘ can' be secured ! without the highest ‘integrity in the ' head of the government: -~ What the American ‘pgo{)le most need, to-day, is }an honest man in the Presidential! t chair. It will not do to take up a. l trimme} who fears to commit himself. | and straddles, with a leg ;gla;,ﬁg'lirlg; on each side of all great questions, or a greedy gift taker who is so eager for material wealth that, like Grant, he will accent anything that -is offered hini, from a cigar to a dwelling house, ah Alderney calf to a coftage by the sea, a library he does not read to a horse he does not need; and pay for all in offices belongivngvto_ the people as ‘if they were his private properly, or in swindling schemes against the revenue he is bound to guard. - Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, hiniself an earnest. reformer, who declared that the democratic party must first establish its elaim pon the country by reforming itself,\\\'el‘l expresses the pfesl ent needs of the governnent in the closing p.arugmplis of his last message, ‘when hesays: .~ = . ° ‘ But the remedies for the evils now’ felt by the peoplein théir businessand industries must extend beyond any measures meérely relating to the curreney. They must be broader and deever. - They ,must begin with- a prompt and lrge reduction in governmental expenditures " and taxation, which shall leave in the hands. that earn it a larger share of the result of labor. . They must proceed by withdrawing, as much as possible, governmental interference that cripple the -industries of the people. - They must be consummated . with an increased l eflicieney and economy in the conduct of business, and in the processes of production, and by a v e e rigoruvus trugality in private conswption, A period of self-denial will replace what has heen wasted. . i

We must build up a new prosperity upon the old foundation of Anierican self government; carry baek our political systems toward the'ideals of their authors; make governmental institutions siinple, frugal; meddling little with-the private -concerns of individuals; aiming at fraternity among ourselves and peace abroad, and trusting to the people to work out their own - prosperity and -happiness. - All the elements of national growth and private felicity exist in our country in an abundance which Providence has’ vouchsafed to no other people. What we need to do is to rescue them from gevernmental folly and rapacity.

Wise-and brave words; and fitly spoken. - il e ‘ e .. THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES, ) It has been aptly remarked by some: one—we do not now. remember. -by whom — that” “there is no corner of the land that does not-suffer under the heavy: hand of dishonest’ Va(hninistr'u—tion.”” Stealage and corruption among government oflicials, the New Orleaps Bulletin observes,comes home to every husband, every mother, and " every ¢hild in the republic. It takes away a part from the market value of every bale of 'cotton, every barrel of molas-. ses, every hogshead of sugar, every. barrel of flour, every cask of tobacco, every tierce of bacon, every head of cattle, every package of wine, e'very cargo of lumber, and every product of mechanical produet-whatsoever. g The people are poor;becauée their. rulers steal. T’he‘ people groan and suffer because they can not sell what they create for its lawful market value. The times are hard e‘vei‘yw‘_hgre, and the causers of hard times are our corrupt rulers. 'l_legivy taxes represent stealage! .\\‘V'@e pay tribute to political brigands . and official pirates. Forty per cent.-of all duties goes into the pockets of “scamps. Sixty per cent. of all'internal revenue is like-

The fraternity of scamps fatten: and flourish, but the people mourn.

"The Dembcra?s ‘of Pennsylvania met in State convention on the 22d inst., in the city of Lancaster. The con, vention was largely attended and its’ deliberations hurmoniq}xs throughout. Delegates at large to thé St. Louis convention were appointed: A 'sound platform was adopted, containing the following declaration on the currency question: & S ; Sixth—That the statute for the resumption of Specie Payments on the first day of Junuary, 1879, is impossible to execute. It is adeliberate proclamation that at that date the United States will go into bankruptey. It paralyzes industry, creates distsust of the future, turns the laborer out cf employment; is a standing threat upon the business men, and ought tobe forthwith repealed. SRy - Serventh—That. gold and ‘silver are. .the only true basis for the currency of | ‘the Republic, and that Congress should tdle such steps for the resumption of Speele Payments as will most surely and speedily reach that result without “destroying the: business interests of the people. : . o The feeling on the currency ques4 tion was vér},jiintense. As the.Lan-* caster Intelligencer says,’ “The rag baby is dead, and there is not even a’ mourner here.”” The resolpitfon on ‘this subject hiad to be read three times, ‘ it was so lustily cheered. i

DEATH OF THE GERMAN POET FREI- ) g " LIGRATH, j . A special cable telegram from Ber- | lin announces that Ferdinand Freilig- J rath, the distinguished German poet,’ died at Stuttgardt, on the 18th in'st.:| He was born in Detmoldt, June 17th, 1810, and was, consequently, in. the sixty-sixth year’ofihis age. . He was educated in the public schools and attended the gymnasium of his native city. © Subsequently he served as a mercantile clérk in Soest, Amsterdam and Bremen. His first poetical pro- i ductions were published in the Musenalmanack in the year 1833, In 1838 he brought out a volume of poems, { which were so” favorably received by the«p’eoplé’ that he was induced to give up. his clerkship and remove to Darmstadt. The Kingof Prussia granted him a pension of $3OO in 1842. After . this he removed to St. Goar, on tl;e‘ Rhine. Ie was strongly allied in sentiment with. the liberal political party of Prussia, and the members of that party were so much offended at his acceptance of a pension from the crown that he gaye up this source of income-in 1844, In the same year he ‘published his “Confession of Faith.” This suljected him ;tl) persecution to such an .extent that he quitted - his country and went abroad. He traveled in .Belgium and Switzerland, and finally went to England. In 1848 Mr. Freiligrath . accepted an invitition from Longfellow to visit the United States, and had engaged passage.to America,- when the outbreak of the revolutionary- movement in Germany ‘determined him lo return to his counféry: He settled in Dusseldorf, and, by the publication of his popular lyries, added great vehemence and force to the democyatic impulses of the Democracy. . His poem, “Die 7'odten an die Lebenden” (The Dead to the Living), subjected him-to indictment and prosecution by the government. He was tried andiacquitted. His poem was in such great demand that numerous editions were printed and it was circulated all over Germany. In*lBsl he returned to London to avoid further prosecution by the German govern‘ment. IHere he 'W‘as subject to many social: and financial embarrassments, until, in 1866, his friends and admirers in Germany, hearing the facts of the case, took up-a national subseription for his relief. 'The proceeds placed him in receipt of a handsome income. e ﬁvent to Stuttgardt in 1868 and has since resided in that city. During the Franco-German war he w,rgyte many patriotic German songs, whicl have since become popular. A complete edition of his works appeared in New York in 1858-9 .and in Stuttgardt in 1870. e was also an extensive cowmipiler and- tr;m_slator. Among his more important translations to the Germanm are ‘portions of the works of Shakespeare, Mrs. Hemans and Tennyson, and the whole of Burns’ poems and Longtellow’s “Hiawatha.,” . g

A HEADSTONE FRAUDS, The Harttord 7imes has been furnished with the following facts in regard to the government cemeteries for the interment of Union soldiers in Eouisiana. It says: Mr. Franklin. Warren, of Cromwell, in this State, made & sub-contract last year, for setting headstones at the graves of the Union soldiers in Louisiana. There were several thousands .of_.them. He was to put up marble headstones, six inches square, and two ‘and a half feetin length, setting them two feet in the ground. = | He used alarge auger-like instrument to make the holes. e wasgive the lines of the heads of graves by a 4 government engineer; but he found the graves were irregular, and in borjug he frequently struck coffing and bodies or bunes. They were just under the suwiface—not so deep # he - was required todig, Instriking these hones it was necessary to-cut through i thewm, and in this work he found that many of them were the legs of mules or parts of mule carcasses. The contractors who ‘had received $2O (instead of $lO as stated) per body for burying the soldiers in regular order, had used the bones of mules, as well as‘_tlyﬁ;e of the soldiers, to swell their income; had made several graves out ~uf vne mule; had received of the gov‘ernment $2O for each mule leg put into acoffin and buried,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25,76, { ANOTHER INV ESTIGATION TO BE HAD. I see that the republican politicians of the Empire State have decided in convention to support Senator Copkling for the Presidency in the Repub--lican National Convention. Some of his supporters and admirers will be | surprised to hear that- their favorite will soon be invited to appear before a committee of the House to answer a few questions regarding a transaction which was more profitable than honorable, if even legal, to the supercilious Senator. There is no attempt at sensation in this paragraph. When the facts are laid before the country i Conkling will be universally pronoun- | ced unworthy to occupy a seat in the l Senate, although it may be as impos_— sible to punish him according to his deserts, as it will be, apparently, to punish Belknap. There need be nb surprise at the .:lr_mouncément 1 have t just'pade; Has not Conkling always been the friend and confidant of President Grant? Should we not be surprised that the amie intime of a fille -de joie shouid be’ found to be herself unchaste? Would it not be nearly beyond the. possibilities that she should 'be otherwise? Talking of Conkling and'New York, reminds me that many democratic papers in the South and West favor the nonii_nution ~of Samuel J. Tilden, the great reform ‘Governor of that State, for the Presi.dency. - The non-partisan papers also speak kindly of him. Tilden is a lifelong, uncompromising, dyved-in-the-‘'wool Democrat, but is more favorably and widely known to the country at large as a man who has reflected honor on his party in New York; as well as on himself, by ridding it of its dishonest leaders. The untiring industry, dogged perseverance and sterling integrity of the man, and the fact that in pursuing, year afterSvear, to convietion and pun:is,hment, the Taveed

ring zipd the New York canal ring, he entirely ignored polities, and, Wash-ington-like, refused compensation for his professional services to the city and State, have created a strong irmpression .in his favor, and attracted the attention of politicians to him as an easy man to elect. ‘ ; BLAINE'S STRATEGY (7). . The Republicans are crowing loudly over what the:y' call Blaine’s strategy on thebill to prevent the collection of money for political purposes from officers and clerks in the serviice of the United States. They would have you believe that Blaine forced the House to accept his amendment including members -of Congress, agiiinst the will of the majority, and that the Democrats were . cleverly outwitted. The facts are just the;reyerse. The re]’)ubli'ca”n party maintains d regular bureau here for the collection of money from the government employes, at the head of which is the notorious Judge Edmunds, Postmaster at Washington. e sends lettersito every officer In the country, levying upon them regular contributions to the machine—not only to the officers, but to all those who are in any respect dependent up()n; the administration for®the positions they hhol“d.. Evans, the I.)ost-tradér,' who paid Marsh $12,000 a year for his place, has just testified’ that he was. "asséségd” $3OO at one time by the Republicans for party purposes, and that he sent the money-to Washington. So extensive-has béen this system of official blackmail, that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been collected, each year, ostensibly for political purposes, but of which a large:portion has gone into the pockets of certain favorites in Washington, either in the shape of salaries as ‘secretaries of éampaign committees, &e., or as direct stealing. [

The Democrats were determined to put an end to this abuse, if possible, ‘anid Mr. Bernard G. Caulfield, of Illinois; reported a bill from the House Judiciary Committee, on Tuesday last, making it an offence, punishable by fine or imprisonment, for any person in the‘émploy of the United States to collect or contribute any money whatever for political purposes. The Re})ublic;ms were seriously alarmed, and Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, offered an amendment to permit the collection of momey for the purpose of sending ouf printed c;_tmpatign documents.. Other amendments were offered, ‘and, it becoming ,evident that i the Republicans were anxious :to eneumber the bill and delay action, Mr. Caulfield, whohad charge of the bill, moved the previous question," and it was ordered. It then became evident that the bill would be passed unless something could be done to killit. At this moment Mr. Blaine, whose abilify as a manager, and transcendent skill in all kinds: of parliamenfary trickery are, generally acknowledged, ‘sprang to the rescue, He asked Mr. _Caulfield to yield to him for a moment, which was done; but when he proposed to offer an amendment to the bill, Mr. Caulfield declined to _yield further. Mr.. Blaine then moved to reconsider the vote by which the previous question was ordered so that he 'might offer an amendment to include Senators and Representatives of tlie United States, and on this motion ' he demanded the yeas and nays, in or--der, as he said, that every man should go upon the record. The sole object was to defeat the bill, or to place the majority in a false position, by induc--Ing them to refuse to allow the amend‘ment to be offered. But in this Mr. Blaine was defeated. The' previous .question was reconsidered by a vote of 205 to 4, and the amendment was offured. On Wednesday the bill, with Mr. Blaine’s amendment, 'was passed,: ‘BO that instead of killing the bill; as they had hoped to do, the Republicars have succeeded in making it much ‘more fatal to themselves than it was originally; and they are endeavoring to hide their chagrin at the Democrats having accepted Mr. Blaines amendexpected they would, by ealling it a defeat that gentleman has met with forsome time,) o | L et R GRS L s TR e AR S T T e SN

power. If there had been such a law as this, the money used so successfully in the last election in New Hampshire could not have been obtained. Pass this bill, and the corruption fund, never more necessary than it will be in the coming campaign, will cease to | exist; refuse to pass it,and they have to meet the indignation of ‘a people fully aroused to the necessity of doing away with that system of admin‘istration whick renders the whole machinery of the government tributary to a political faction or clique, and makes it possible for a few shrewd and dislionest men who happen to get into power at Washington to extort money from every servant or dependent of the governtnent. = - BFRLKNAP—MARSH. Within the last few days the tone of the republican papers here has changed regarding the Belknap mat‘ter, and there is a strong disposition ‘manifested to stand by Belknap and “defend him, making Marsh the scapegoat. ‘So long as Marsh was safe in Canada, they professed to be very angry with the committee. for letting him go, thus losing the only witness who eonld conviet the late ex-secreta-ryv, and argued that the prnsecutimi ‘must therefore stop. In other words, lßelkl-l:lp.CO»u]d neither be impeached ‘nor convicted. .-But the Judiciary Committee of the House ‘demanded that the Presidént should procure the return of M;tr§h by grantimg his immunity from prosecuti(m.'and Grant ‘was forced to~comply, or stand’ convicted before the country of desiring to shiield Belknap from eriminal prosecution, as he has already attempted to shield him from impeachment.

e } e — & THE NEW ENGLAND FLGODS. Great Damage to Property, Loss of : Tl kel b ' The New England States were visited last week .with one of the most destructive floods ever known in that section of the country. A Boston special dispateh, of last Monday, says the damage ‘done by the freshet on Saturday over New " England must -have been $1,000,000, and perhaps a ‘dozen lives were lost. Miniature Mill--River disasters were seen on all sides. At Clinton, Mossy pond, which farnishes a broad platedu of 150 acres, gave wiy: and was soon drained. ' A tannery was knocked from its foundations, four tenement houses floated away, and 100 rods of fence and road were washed away. It is thought that '5200,000 will hardly cover the damage. At Fullerville the wooden mill buildings were s“;ept; away and not a vestige left. The damage in the Shetucket,Quinebang and Yontie Valleys alone was hundreds of thousands. In Norwich the churches were ideserted, and thousands were exeitedly helping to save property. At the foot of. Shetucket-street hill the water was two feet deep, and on the wharves themselves, ordinarily eight feet or ‘miore above the water, men were navigating in boats and on rafts. The Baltic dam gave way at about ndon, ! and. soon the stream began to rise rapidly, an_duc‘)n its foaming bosom came down bales’ of cotton, whisky barrels, a buzz-saw,,a.ndpnbles and all sorts of furniture. The water was thirteen inches " higher than in the great flood of 1857, and five inches higher than in 1807, whén there was a destructive freshet at Baltimore. A boat was capsized dnd four lives lost at Versailles. The damage on the line of the Connecticut river was very ‘much heavier than at first reported. The water was sixteen feet above lowwater mark. The meadows alongside the river dre thoroughly flooded. The dam of the East Haddam Dock company was carried away, and the water took with it on its course the house of Mr. Moody, with all its contents, Mr.: Moody barely escaping with his life. The large covered bridge at Leesville, East Haddam, costing $70,000. was also carried away. The dams of Savage & North ‘and Stiles '& Parker, Straddlehill, near Middleton, were also carried away, the damage being $5,000 at these two dams, The dam of the Billings & Whitney company, at Rocky Hill, was also carried away, and with ‘ it the major part of the large machine ~shop._the loss being in the neighborhood bf $B,OOO or $lO,OOO. Losses in the neighborhood ;'jof Clinton, Mass., aggregate $350,000, and'about Nor‘wich, Conn.;, Monday, five men were drowned. by the washing away of a dam embankment which they were strengthening. The aggregate loss in New England is; enormous. E o

* At Lawrence, Mass., Snme's,ooo or 6,000 mill operatives were idle on Monday, owing to the stoppage of many mills in consequence of the unprecedented high water. ' All the mills along Speckel river are stopped. Serious damage has been done at several points, but fortunately the rivers are free from ice. o o 5

The revelation has precipitated Ogden into a perfect typhoon of commotion, and some time will elapse betore the town ‘recovers its -equilibrium. The Rev.

LANDERS AND THE GOVERNORSHIP, Logansport - Star. e Landers, the member of Congressfrom Indianapolis, has been pushed into prominence: as a candidate for Governor, mainly through ‘the instrumentality of the republican press, and the efforts of a few noisy busybodies at Indianapolis, who are evidently influenced by the greenbacks of said Landers. The republican leaders, recognizing that Landers would be a weak man, and one easily beaten, are desirdus of having .him nominated, and are endeavoring to give him an undue prominence for that purpose. A few Democrats misled by these wily. Republicans have adopted inim as their candidate and persistently sing his praise. The Star is decidedly opposed ~to- his nominations for many reasons. ~ We look upon him as a weak candidate in every respect. He;j is a man of but meagre attainments, and of limited ability.” Two years ago he had never been heard of outside his Congressional district. - Finance i§ his hobby, but his views are asicrude and ill-shaped as iv is possible to be. | He does not and cannot “distinguish the difference between conducting the affairs of a nation and managing s stock farm, The Democracy wants a man at the head of the ticket whose reputation tor ability :and integrity wiil be a pledge to the people that the |&°ty intewd t) carry out its prineipies of reform. Such a, man is not. Franklin Landers. One or two counties have already instructed for him and his nomination by the Independents will: give’him. some strength in the convention. We do not belie'vei that he will have a very strong follow-~ ] ing, but his clacquers are industrious, and may develop greater strength than is anticipated. We desire to say now that we do not believe the Democracy can succeed with Landers as their nominee, anl that certain defeat_will follow his endorsement. = ! o

. THE LANDERS WILD SCHEMERS. ‘New Albany Ledger-Standard. - Democrats who arg not in favor of Frank Landersare not invited to be present in the Tippecanoe County Democratic Convention. Why Democrats who.hold different views are not called to-consult with the party is a sort of a'mystery. ‘lt is possible that some of these wild schemers are determined on forcing a real Democratic State -Convention to assemble after ‘the Landers faction have demoralized the party. If so, just give the Democracy timely warning, and they will afford an afterpiece on the 19th ‘of April that will surprise some of the t’mdersi\ ' il i HARD LINES ON LANDERS. ! Seymour Democrat. oo . Somie of our readers have no_doubt watched a half-blind old rooster when “scratching for his hens, stop, stretch out his neck: and co:k his eye and head at the same time, as if to critically examine what bis labor hdd succeeded in accomplishing. Such is the “appearance and attitude of Landers, our -Landers, -when he approaches Holman to talk about the Governorship. : g

THE DEMOCRACY ' CAN NOT BE SOLD : . OUT,\ TO LANDERS, : " ' Fort|Wayne Sentinel. | . ‘A desperate jattempt is being made to foist »Fran"(l‘in‘ Landers upon the Demoeracy of |lndiana as their candidate for Governor,and the conspirators resort to|just'such disrepatable tricks as this\ call (the Tippecanoe county call) to effect their purpose. But we teel satjtistied that they have overshot their/mark, and that the very devices by which they seek to accomplish their end will eventually prove the‘ir ruin. The Democrats of Indiana annot be sold|out in this way. The great mass ut‘ithem know that Liunders’s nomination means Orth’s elec? tion and Hendricks’ slaughter.” The democratic press of the State also knows it, and is daily warning the party against this tremendous folly. Mr. Landers, it is safe to predict, will not receive the coveted nomination, despite. his ddsperme efforts to obtalgit, A i i

. © A RIDICULOUS POSITION. : Logansport Pharus, The Demoeratic Central Committee ‘of "Tippecanoe county have allowed their zeal in the cause of Landers to overcome thei[r_ discretion, and have placed themselves in a position which would be ridiculous were its effect not likely to prove pernicious. The call for ‘the county convention appeals to all 'who are in favor of the nofination of Mr. Landers to assemble for the purpuse of selecting delegates to the State convention. We would like to inquire'of the sensitive .Dispatch it that 18 not assuming just a little too much., It places every Democrat who' looks 'with disfavor upon the indorsement of Landers without the pale of the party. Such an assumption of power on the part of a committee is not complimentary either to the sense of justice or intelligence of the ‘gentlemen who comspose it. - : _ AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY. | New Albany Ledger-Standard. . ' Are the friends of Manson, Holman, Niblack, Fitch, Williams and other -Democrats to have no votes in the Democratic State Convention? Or is the party to be surrendered into the hands of Buchanan, Landers & Co.? 'l‘lxxe importance of these inquiries will become more apparent as the day tfor the meeting of the State Convention approaches. > b LANDERS THE DEATH OF HENDRICKS. : Fort Wayne Sentinel. : : Governor Hendricks has never yet been accused even by his worst enemies of being a foul, and he has cer‘tainly brains and perception enough to know that the moment the Democrats of Indiana nominate Frank Landers for Governor, that moment the death-knell of his. Presidential Jagpirations. is sounded. If Landers ‘becomes the Democratic gubernatorial 'standard-bearer Mr. Hendricks will not receive the support of three States ¥ the St. Louis convention. “

HOLMAN THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE. . Evansville Courier. Under all circumstances, we are free o say that, in our judgment, Mr. Holman is the strongest inan the Demoérats could nominate. His record is clean and unussailable, and he has a peculiar power on the stump which wakes him invineible before the people. We are for Judge Niblack, if he ghows enough stgength in the conventivn to give reasounble assurance of being . noininated, but this is not a timu o consult personul preferences. . BOLD, BUT NOT DELIVERED, 4y Thie Lnciunupolis Journal ited give R o v tha

bargains usually propose to transfer something. Now it is one thing to brgain for the sale of the democratic party of Indiana, but the delivery in one piece is ap entirely different matter. H i Vit ', 5 [ AN EMPHATIC DENIAL. = . . Logansport Star. : ok . Governor Hendricks puts in his emphatic denial to being a party to, the attempt of certain soft young men at Indianagpolis to sell the Democracy to Landers. It did not need this denial from the Governor, as no one _ever supposed he would be guilty of a _thing so foolish. Indianapolis politicians on the half shell, had better remain at home, and not go off to - Washington undertaking to make a l sale of something they do not possess.

The Methodist Conference. . 'The session of the North Indiana Conference of the M. E. Church was held in Richmond, beginning on Wednesday, March 22d, an{l closing on Monday, the 27th, Bishop Harris presiding. By reference. to the reports, we find that the churches in this portion of the State were reportedin a generally prosperous condition. Rev.. 0. V. Lemon, of this (the Goshen) district, reported his Churches generally ! prospergus and had no charges to prefer against any minister. .‘ In the Fort Wayne district, however, charges of immorality were preferred against the Rev. T. Stabler, of Fort Wayne, and Rev. R. Tobey, of Kendallville. ‘The committee appointed to investigate the former, reported that they fotund “no just and sufficient cause for complaint.” In the case of Rev. Tobey, we are pleased to state, the charges were not sust@ined. That gentleman goes to Pendleton, in 'the Anderson district. o \_As will be seen by referénce to the list of appointments given below, Rev. Meredith returns to his former charge at this p'l‘uce, and Rev. Noftzer is again located at’ Wawika. Rev. Wi, VanSlyke goes to Woleottviliv, and Rev. F.-A.

St. Louis has, according to the Directory man, a population now of 498,000.

THERE has been a contest for some time between the Committee on Territories and the Committee on Indian Affairs touching the jurisdiction of a bill for organizing a territorial government : for the Indian Territory. Bills were referred to both committees to establish Okelahama Territory. The ® Indian committee is adverse to the bill, believing it to be a project in the interest of railroad companies, to obtain grants of rich.lanas in.the Territory. On Friday the Indian committee reported a -bill, providing that the local government of various tribes in the Territory, and the tribal relations, shall be retained so long as the tribal relations are continued. Land grants by railroad companies are prevented. The Committee on Territories, who are supposed to favor the dissolutibn of . tribal relations, raised the 'question of jurisdiction, bug the House sustained the Indian coimittee, and by recomriitting gave that committee charge of the entire matter, Railroad companies have been striving for several years to have this Territory opened. Tribal relations are secured to the Indians by treaty stipulations. S

. ELANDTITLES. ' Important Decision by the Supreme . i S U LiCourt.. B . (From Monday’s India’napolis’Jourtal.ﬂ) : Ina late case, not yet reported, our Supreme. Courtihaye laid down|a rule concerning mertgages -that is (of the greatest’ public interest, inasmuch as it. has not-heretofore been understood by the eourts, bar, or business men. of this city. -And as it materially affoets, ‘more. or-less many titles wliich have or may {pass through the courts by means of foreelosure sales, we proceed to state it briefly. Tt is this: :In a | foreclosure suit it is necessary, in order to secure’a perfect title, not only to make all persons. holding subsequent judgmeuts and mortgages of record parties, but also all persons holding any of ‘the notes secured by | such mortgages; although thereis no. -assignment.. of record shuw]ing- by . whom such. notes are. held. - [Unless this- is done- the hoelder of an'P" such note ‘may, at any time within fifteen. years, at least, after the sale, redeem ‘the property by paying to thd owner: the amount of the mortgage and inrerest under. witich the properity was sold at sheriff’s sale, after deducting therefrom - tire value: of the use, or reiit, of the property for the tiine between such sale and redemption. "»'l"u-"'illusfi'ate:; i Suppose . A 1 Tiolds’ the tirst smortgage on a lot, block or ‘tarm, and B. the seeond, securing say three notes. " Now if B. transfers these notes before suitis begun to C., ‘D and E., and they each hold one note at that time, unléss made parties ’eith—_} er may thereafter redeem; so, if two are mude defendants and thl; third . net,--he ;may likewise redeem. - And this is Bo,although ‘A is notin any manner informed who holds th'eﬂx’lotesv, ' and although there be no assignment of the mortgage of record. Heretofore the courts of’ this city, at least, ‘have held that if B. was made a party -and the court or purchaser had no no‘tice in any manner of the trar?-sfer of the notes the sale passed a. perfect title and cut off the right to redeem.: What_effect' this decision may have ‘upon existing titles coming mrough,. foreclosure sales already made we can‘nop say. But owing to: the great rise in value of real estatein this city no ‘doubt some at least who have thought “their “titles clear” will find out their mistake to their sorrow.. <l . - But inasmuch as the rule is now es‘tablished, it 18 important that it be at ‘onée clearly understood by every one, and ‘especially by:those who are.com‘pelled- to ‘foreclose their mortgages and ‘buy in the- property to secure themselves from loss. Owing to the great number of second and.third mortgages made during the last few years on property in andaround the city, and the vast amount of mortgage paper that: has passed- from hand to 'hand, this decision becgmes of interest to a very great number of our citizens.. The public look to the courts and lawyers tosee that their titles acquired through j}idicialj proceedings are per--feet. ~lt therefore behuoves every attorney in such case to proceed with the greatest caution, "It wil - entail, much labor in many cases | to gef every one who may hold a mortgage note before the court; but it should be. done if the holder can be discovered. If not, it would seem’ tbem_.i:‘?n_ ‘way 10 avoid the misfortune, and litigants must exther abandon their foreclosure or take'thepigk, . o ] Another important ruling that should be known to busines men is, that as'we have no statute providing for the recording of the assignment ot | ‘mortgages and makingsuch record no- | Ol M shelgnsuhts, dichdagh e corded, will not. estop the originai | W from making @ validl satisfaction of record, although ko miay huve sold the nutes and wortgage, and. &n ussignment, thereof put on. record Actual notice, of course, to the mortgngor of the purchase. and assigument of the notes secured Wﬁﬁ o 6 ‘* i by leslktition.
