THE MEETING OF THE EDITORS. [(From the Columbus Democrat, Apnl 7th.] As some misapprehension exists in ¥he minds of many persons at Indianapolis and other points in refererce to the object of the meeting of a number of ‘democratic editors at Indianapolis, | on" Tuesday night last, and the action there had, ,a plain statement of the affair is deemed necessary in order “that any wrong impressions entertained may be dispelled and the par-~ tigs to thzyt meeting set i'ight. The truth about the affair, and all the truth, is briefly this: Some time ago the De‘mocrat was put in possession of the intormation that an embassy of young men trom ' Indianapolis’ had turned up in Washington, for the purpose, as the dispatches stated, of “ar- 3 ranging” for the nominzttio:h of Mr. Landers for Governor by tlie Democratic State Convention, = The “mission” of these enthusiastic young men, and which was reported as accomplished, was, further, to secure the: withdrawal of Hon. W. 8. Holman, as an additional and neeessary aid to the success of their plan. We are not inclined to quietly submit to the “fix-/ ing up process,” and though the infor‘mation ‘we then had has since been materially modified, we acted promptly upon what we then believed to be facts. We exercise the privilege and the right, whichevery sensible person gught, in a primary contest, to have and bold any preferenee which pleases us without being accountable to any man or men for our preferences. When we join the party"co name.some one to lead us .in the contest against a common political enemy, then, if need be, we can give up our individual preferences and bow with whatever grace we may to the will of the majority. ~We oppose Mr. Lander’s and favor Mis. Holman’s nomination, as our readers hage long known. Having a little enthusiasm about us—willing to work for our fazorite, and feel- { ing that the’ friends of Mr. Landers were “endeavoring to steal a march upun us, upon the recgption of the information above cited, we notified ‘a few persons whom we knew to be, like as we were and are, in favor of Mr, Holman’s candidacy, of the state of, affairs, and requested a meeting. The object of that meeting was to crystallize the Holman sentiment—to unify and thus render more éffective: the elements of Holman strength that were lying.at loose ends all over the State,' for, be it understood,_wé go in to win-—we propose to succeed—and to doso we will' neglect nothing in ‘our power which promises to aid. There is the whole thing in a nutshell, the wild rumors of Indianapolis Landers politicians and the equally wild predictions and statements of the Indianapolis Journal to the contrary notwithstanding. The meéting was held, bus as only a few persons of those we had invited could attend, the five orsix {gentlemen who did meet concluded to try it again. In conformity with this arrang,ement,thg second meeting was held at -‘~‘-parlorv 23,” Grand Hotel, on Tuesday evening. - Probably from forty to fifty demoeratic newspapers of Indiana were ‘represented .in - this meeting, either by the editors, proprietors,’or by letters from the editors who had been invited but could not attend. We talked together in an informal way of | the political situation in the various, localities. of the State, and. gleaned from each other as definitely as’ possible the feeling of the people upon the question of the Governor‘ship. We told these gentlemen as to ‘Bartholomew county that the Demo- | cracy were favorable to Holman, and that Holman could poll more votes in this connty than any other man we could place at the head of the ticket;and our Democrats know that we did not misrepresent them. We came. out of that meeting as we feel confident all the other gentlemen did;more fully convinced than ever that our advocacy of Holman was not only in_ conformity with our own preferences, but highly satisfactory to our democratic. friends. There wasnothing advanced in the meeting looking to a “bolt” from:the nomination should Landers' 'be the man, as has been charged by numerous persons at In-. dianapolig, nor- i anything 'of the kind contemplated by the gentlemen who met there, so far as we know, nor has such a move been entertained: at any time by them in any contingenéy.. One or.two who attended that meeting, we are convinced, will not support Mr. Landers, but that there is a purpose by the gentlemen who met at “parlor 23” on Tuesday night to . or- | ganize a “bolt,” or that they contemplate an orgagx.izéd obpositlon to Mr. Landers at'a time future to the State convention, we emphatically deny. We propose to ¢ontinue our advoca- { cy of Mr. Holman, in all honorable { ways,up to the time thelast vote is cast in the .convention (and we hope beyond that time,) never flagging fora moment, neither turning to the right nor left, nor being swayed from what we believe to be our duty to, and the | interest of, the demoeracy of Indiana. Mr. Landers’ friends have marked ous their path, and they may walk therelin without question from' us. -We { haye surveyed our highway, set dur | stakes, got our eyes upon the object-

ive point, fastened there—"sot,” so to gpeak-—and “by the eternal,” as an old acquaintance of the democracy -sed to remark, we’ll' canter ower that track with an emphasis and a speed that will shake the hickory bushes of. their “fruit” to the consternation of the gentleman from Austria, who ‘takes his beer in two languages, und if that be treason to the democracy ‘the Landers people can make: the most of it. , oal £ g et e el ’ ~ Thirteen persons in Indianapolis and vieinity have been stricken down with triching®, caused by eating dis‘eased pork, The cases almost all oceur among Germans, who cannot get -over the habit of eating raw or>half cooked pork, e

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1876.

| THE GOVERNORSHIP. . .. (From the LaPorte Argus, AprilGth.) “The Indianapolis Journal intimates (that' the editor of the Argus is the leader of a proposed bolt from the ' Democratic™ State Convention in case t"-Fra'ni{ Landers is made the nominee for-Governor. This isa mistake. Ehe : editor of the Argus is not the leader | in any such moyement; neither has he. 'said that he would not support Landers 'if nominated, as has been represented. We have said in very plain terms that the majority of hard money men in the Northern part of the State: will not support him, and we are perfectly confident that the statement is based on an absolute fact. We say further that there is but, one single reason why they shotild support him, and that is a cheice between the acknowledged evils. *Mr. Landers has no valid claim on the support ofth_“ese-‘ men. .- He is a bolter himself; he re-. fused to support Mr. Kerr for Spéaker after e had been faitly nominated in a regula@ caucud and’ after he, Landers, had. participated in that caticus: He . is the nominée of another party for the Governorship and has accepted that nomination;, that party has'a full ,State ticket in the field, and if Mr. Landers is an‘honorable man he’ will stand by his first friends and give his support to the full ticket at which he now stands at the head. He is not in sympathy with tlﬁe mass of the‘j democratic party on the finaneialqué_stior;- because he'is an open an”d“‘ avowed inflationist. e is nof satis--fied to let the: volume of the currency 1 alone but he is one of the extremest of the extreme “more money” men and believes that it only needs the government stamp to make paper, ‘ rags, or corn husks lawful money. {fis ; friends bring him forward for Gover- | nor because of these views’t‘ They do not claim that he has avnyt.hi,ng else to | especially qualify him for the position. = He is to be made Governor on’ the distinctive idea of his financial views. Now;in view of the universally conceded fact thiat the Democriitic National platform will be a hard money platform, the nomination of Landers will throw our State in direct antagonism with the Demoeracy of the nation, and it will at'once wipe out every vestige of influence the Indianzﬁegatipu would otherwise have at thésSt. Louis Convention. In plain terms, the nomination of Landers gill surely be the death of Gov.yHen'driéks’ prospects for the Presidency. Fhis is conceded, on -all hands .and 1o true, friend of 'Governor Hendricks can for a moment harbor the thought of favoring ILanders for Governor. These are plain words, plainly sﬁbke‘n, for it is high time that the people at large’ should clearly understand the political situation -and the questions upon which they will soon be called’ upon to take action. In view of the facts, for'they are facts and cannot be gainsaid, we ask what good reasons are there. for expecting tried and true Democrats to: support Landers for Governor, even if he should be nominated? We answer, there are few, if any, and if it is done at all it will .be doue as a reluctant choice between: t;v'vo glaring evils. There are thousands and thousands of men throughout Indiana who' will accept neither, and they are of the most influential, honest. and ' hard working Democrats in the State. © They are Democrats ‘fro;n principle, and they hold their principles’ too dear to be sold at such a ptice. - But the Argus does not believe that there is a real danger of Landers’ nomination if his opponents will. make .a.united effort for some other ‘'man, -and 'this thiey surely will do! That man will probably be that “watch-dog of the Treasury”—honest, W.S. Holman. ¥ yrey 1 :

N Plant a Treé. ‘ . “Treeplanting,” says the Indianapo-~ lis Sentinel, “is talked abotit with Tenewed vigor just at this time. Centenn'i"alb trees are tobe the rage, and before it isover there is a fair prospect that a good deal: will be done. But what 'is done must be done quickly, for now is the time to do the work. This month comprehends the space | for set:ting up these living and growing monuments of onr industry. The leading idea is to induce children and | young people to plant at least one tree during the centennial year'asa rﬁomenw of the grand epoch. 'lnthe Eastern States this plan is urged with considerable zeal, and should the rage get a fair start in schools and towns it may cut quite a figure in the year's events, Nothing can be more approp'riatef_ nothing more beautiful than to celébrate tlic year in this manner. The planting of a free has always afid everywhere been regarded as a most praiseworthy and beautiful act. Tt is ‘closely allied to a deed of* charity, for it Jooks to the happiness of porsteris ity whom we may never know. Yet, with the young, the planting of a tree may be the foundation of great personal pleasure in.the future. It is true that the principal business in In~ diana thus far has been to destroy trees and forests, and, although-the State is yet what may?be"te’rm'éd welltimbered, the work of ‘destruction has been: signally successful. Shade trees are scarcely enonghi to be appreciated in most populous neighborhoods. ‘Nearly all /large towns are bare. of ‘shade, . It is well enough to remind: any whoare-disposed to act upor this ‘hint, that, as a general thing, the work is not done when a tree js plfmted Some care is. neCe*agary afterwards, it is best, therefore, to provide for that. But let 6very man, woman and chifd, ‘who is capable of doing’ it, cause one tree for shade or. fruit to be set out in: 18187 il 7 ol ol bk Rt

{ INFLATION TWADDLE. g The Cincinnati Enqujirer, the most persistent advocate of the inflation theory, recently exclaimed: ri “A gold basis! What is meant by that word basis? If we want a'gold currency, why not have it in gold exclusively? Why have it the basis of anything else? A basis we understand to be a foundation. The foundation should be as broad as the superstructure.” ; v The Indianapolis Journal, which entertains very moderate:’ viewsion | the currency question and favors the repeal of the 13esumption,act,. very.“ properly characterizes the above quotation as “mere juggling with words,” and proceeds to say: “The countyy does want a gold curreney, but not an exelusively gold currency, because that would be _exceedingly inconvenient—in fact, practically impossible. We want a mixed coin and paper currency, exchangeable and convertible into each other. The coin, having a fixed valué, would give a fixed value to the paper,.and thus the whole currency would be stable. All thatis meant by the resumption of specie payments-is that our, paper currency shall bé brought fo par with gold and circulate side by side with it..

THE SUNNY SOUTH. ©Observations of a Northern Editor. D. N. Richardson, writing home from Georgia to his paper,/the Davenport Democrat, says: 2 : » We pass some very snrall stations. The loafers turn out in force to greet us. Not that they knew we were ‘coming—not that they. would have cared if they had, they come out on -general principle, asithe woodchucks comeforth to sun themselves: At the last station we eounted forty of these fellow mortals that we came down to help develope, two-thirds colored, and nine-tenths with their hands rammed into. their Dbreeehes pockets.. And .right here let us suggest, says our socrd]l ‘economist, to- the' law making power of Georgia, that it enact and enforce. a law abolishing Dbreeches pockets entirely. It would do more! for that country than the abolition of slavery. No people prone to house up their hands in their pockets, or drive their ox teams about with rope reins; can ever become happy in abundant progperity. ' Make amnote of it. Keep your hands in the oven air; keep them on the ’%low handle, the spade and shovel—Kkeep them busy, busy, busy, in manly labor and thrift will attend you, and hide her face no more. llaving one’s hiands §o much in one’s pockets is almost as!’bad as having them in the pockets of some oné else.

.0 fLegal Tender. 1 -~ Many persons, says the. Seymour Democraf, are of the opinion that Congress has the power to fix what shall be a tender for payment of debt. Congress has no such power, and there is no warrant for it in. thie constitution. Congress has power to coin money and regulate the value thereof, but that is all. A debt is the result of a contract, and that contract fixes the tender. Ifa man says he will pay another so many dollars for value received, that mefm-sﬁ that he will payso many gold or silver dollars, of the coinage of:the ecountry, for that is what dollars mean. -If he says he will pay so many dollars gold coin, | rothing but gold coin will be a tender. This is, of course, in the absence.of any State law fixing gold and silveras. a tender, for,though the States have. no right to mpke anything buf gold and silver coin a tender for debt, they: have a right to make these a tender for debt, if their several Legislatures choose to do so, and We suppose the State - Legislature “would have the right to'say that silver should be a tender. to the amount ‘of a limited sum, or in any amount, and the same of gold, But/no State could say that when a contract was made between two parties 'f;lm_t the oneshould paythe other so many-bushels of wheat, that the other could demand its value in gold when the wheat was tendered. The contract, therefore, determines the tender, anid the| tender law would only apply in few cases. If men would only tead the' counstitution of: their country ‘and’study itserule of construction, much nonsense that prevails in regard to.the powers' ot the Fedefa]{ government would be dissipatediiboiis e i

[;’ . AWFUL TRAGEDY. - I,A”.p'i'uuken Father Shoots ¥is Boy ! : liﬁhﬂe on His Knees in Prayer. [Columbus {Ohio) Dispatch to Cincinnati Times, G ; ; April 4.7 i Sare A bloody tragedy occurred here this ‘morning; and whisky was,'as usual, at the bottom: of jt. At 1 o’clock the police in the noxth end were startled by the screzm‘?s of a woman, and, ‘starting toward the point from which the noise came, were met by a woman. wild with agony, who said hér husband had shot and dangerously wounded her son. Upon arriving at the woman’s house, the murdered boy was found lying on the floor in ‘a pool of blood, with a great: wound in his side,’ and his father lying by his side kissing' the face of his victim and wildly-call-ing on him not to die. The boy was found to be quite dead, but the father would nét believe it, and, withihis eldest son, fought against being removed from the scéne of blood. _ Ll

- On leaving the house, the man appeared to be drunk, but before reach}ing the station-house was guite sober. The name of the :murderer is Patrick Pickering, a laborer, who is.employed ‘in Hauling “ail.* e has a wife and six-ehildren. ¢ e ¢ The mother’ of the victim is too wild with grief to tell ‘an intelligent story about the deed, but as near as can be learned, it appears that Pickering had been drinking liquor during ‘the day, and went home intoxicated. Recently, his son, aged seventeen, next to his eldest,had oftended him by keeping company with an objectionable boy. Upon reaching home he called Lis boy out of bed to apologize for his misconduet. lis father forced him to . get upon his knees to pray and promise never to go with the objectionable: boy again. As soon’as he had got upon his ‘knees his father took up a heaviiy loaded shot-gun, and withrout. ,any warning to the poor boy, whose head was bowed in prayer, fired at him,_ the charge passing through his heart,. killing him almost instantly. Justbe--fore -closing his eyes'in death the boy cried oud, “father,you liave killed me.”,

_As soon as he reached the station“house - Pickering became wild with ‘remorse, wildly .erying:” “I'm a mur‘derer. lam going to commitisuicide. Poor boy, poor boy! 1 wish I was where he is now.” © AH.night the prisoner paced his cell, mad with remorse, but. he was carefylly watched to prevent his,committing suieide. » ~ Pickering is about forty years old. i The dead boy is said-to have been of ‘good chagacter, .. v e

A Good Take QI diiy Probably - there has. never been a keener satire upon inflation, whether so intended or ‘not, than, a petition from certain citizens of Wisconsin, presented to the United States Senate by one of their Senators, Mr. Howe, .which merely asks that the “T'reasurer of the United Stiates shall be directed: ‘to pay to each and every man, woman,. ‘and child residing 1n the UnitedStatesthe sum of ten dollars per -week, payable every Saturday night at the most convenient postoflice. = To meet this outlay they propose that the Sécretary of the Treasury shall issue bonds of the United States, provided, however, that the issue shall under no circumestanee exceed $5,000,000,000 ‘annually. Although Senator Howe, in bringing this- document before the Senate, did not commit himself in‘seriousness to, its proposal, nor allow .a wrinkle of mirth to show that he appreéiated the richness of the joke, it is undoubtedly’ a fine specimeén of the humor of the. people of the Badger State. If they ‘had been in earnest'tliey might argue that they proposed to carry out to: their reasomwable conelusions ' the clauses of the inflationists for more money. How the money could be got to circulate ’among_ _the people has: been the question, but if the money is given to' the people ab the most convenient postoffice: every ' Saturday night the problem is solved without difficulty. = It was not easy to see in what proportions- the money should be distributed, the old idea being that ‘money was most useful in the business centers, where it was most used.

The nervous, weakly invalid does noti enjoy life, but merely “drags out existence,” as the phrase is. Unfitted for the active pursuits of life, and incapable offpartaking of,its pleasures,. to which health alone cdn give a zest; disinclined to social intercourse, and a prey to melancholy, the valetudinarian is indeed‘an object of pity. | Yet there is nothing in all this that cannot be remedied by that genial alternative tonic and mervine, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which supplies deficient stamina, braces the neryous system, ‘and .overcomes those hodily irregularities to which nervous weuk--ness: is' most frequently attributable. Diseases of the kidney and bladder, imperfect digestion anduterine troub--les are fertile sources of debility. Their eradication, however, becomes a matter of certainty when Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are systematically used for that purpose.

To this regulation we hope all the faithful will readily conform. - In truth, the proper time for the celebration of marriages is the morning, and atMass.

A -curious affair has just been made public near, Silver Station, Pennsylvania. . Ten years ago a'rich farmer named Swingle, 60 years of age, who had married for:his' second wife a yvoung woman long a resident in his “family,” went out one day to pay $l,800 to a neighbor, a mile or two away, and -never returned. It was foupd that he had paid the money ;and IF fie for home on his (horse at 9 ¢’clock,lon” - a dark, stormy evening.. A widow . woman living in a lonely place on the road testified to hearing cries of murder. Blood and signs (of ‘a sttuggle - were discovered in the road nex - morning. , The whole neighborhood ‘wus searched! and Swingle’s horse found tethered in the woods. A.band, of horse and catfle thieves who had ,Enfested the .place, were accused of eing the mu¥derers and left the coun- ’ try. Eighteen months afterwards & i skeleton was found ina pond by a man who -was fishing. ~ The bones 'were gathered and buried as those of ¢ Swingle. A couple of years /after‘wards Swingle’s ' son ‘married the jyoupg“Widow of Swingle senior.
