ToE UNANDITY Wwith which the congressional investigating committee exonerated Speaker Kerr from Harney’s infamous accusation, and the spontanieous and unusual expression of perfect confidence in Indiana’s distinguished statesman, prove that a «pure character, like pure gold, is only fendered brighter by ‘trial.”

_ Ix his memorial address over the graves of the soldiers in Chicago, Robert Collier said: “I count every at“tempt to rake up tlie oldtrouble a «vielent, bitter thing, unworthy of our “nation .and our great Anglo-Saxon =family.” Yetit is the violent, bitter thing which the reckless and desperate leaders of the party in power are now attempting todo. .

. TmeE NAME of John Pettit is this. week removed from the ticket at the head ef this column. Mr. Buskirk’s name -will also probably -disappear next week. The State Central Committee will. meet to-morrow and take final action in the matter of declaring vagancies. It is generally believed that Judg_@ Woraen and ‘Downey will not and ought not to be remayeg,

It wouLD perhaps be wrong to speak -in harsh terms -of the conduct ‘of Judge Pettit. The old fellow has evidently got beside himself. |The au‘thorities ought to take him in charge. Being a resident of a town where men of prominence are in the habit of bego'milfg “hot as a lime kiln” may have bad. something to do with the oldman’s unfortunate condition. = -~

M. R. SLATER, editor of the Franklin, Johnson county, Democratic Here ald, has been defeated as candidate for renomination for the Senate, thro’ the agency of the Shelby county maners who opposed him because he :fi:& in favor of cutting down salanes, it is said.~ Slater has some very queer_ notions about some things, but it ism’t right that he should be defeated on account -of his rétrenchment proclivities. | :

- Tae DEMOCRACY of Maine and Delaware held their conventions - Jast Tuesday and selected delegates to the St. Louis Cenvention. In the first named State, Tilden secured the delegates, while the-financial plank of the platform adopted has the true hardnioiy ring. - The Delaware Convention instructed for Senator Hayard, and also emphatically resolved that gold and silver is the only standard that a nation:can safely tie to.

TuE Bartholomew County Democrat thus speaksof Pettit’s disgraceful conduct at Lafayette: “We are pained 1o acknowledge that Pettit has no defente.. A man who will thus misconduct /himself, who will prove himself a rowdy,—a drunken brawler,—is unit for the position he occupies and aspires to. The Democracy should not only not support him for re-elec-tion, but sheuld demand that he vacate the bench and give place to a decent man.” ) : 7

Hox. Joux. D. SARNIGHAUSEN is anpounced as a candidate. for re-elec-tion to the State Senate for the counties of Allen, Wells and Adams. Mr. Sarnighausen’ has proved himself a fm‘htnl and efficient Senator during ‘the past four years, and experience being of incalculable advantage to a legislator, it seems to us that the Democrats of the Allen Senatorial District would benefit themselves as well as promote the public interest by giving Mr. 8. a second term in the higher branch of the Indiana Legislature.

- | THE QUARREL among Republicans over the presidential nomination has been chiefly on account of the alleged corrupt recqrd of this or-that candidate. On the democratic side it is quite different. Corruption is not charged (and neither is it chargeable) ‘against any of the leading candidates. ‘But we notice with no little regret that a pumber of papers, edited by &’ clas of fiefy knights of the quill who are mfi?}bted for bluster and dem‘agogical twaddle, are laying great’ stress upon location, as if it were an’ “unpardonable offerise to reside east of the Allegheny mountains. That sort. of reasoning rendered Seymour am un~ available candidate in 1868, and yet: we observe no signs of a departure from that suicidal policy which invaiably leads to disaster and defeat. |

VINDICATION OF SPEAKER KERR.

was- intrusted with the investigation of the charges against Speaker Kerr made dts report last Monday, fully and completely.exenerating thay. gentleman from Harney’s ' infambus charges. The report makes no reservation whatever, but declares that not even a suspicion of any sort restsupon either the miotives or the acts of Mr. Kerr. The vindication is full, perfect, complete. ' In this report Mr, Danford, the only Republican member of the committee present, joined as heartily as the Democrats, and said so truly and eloquently in' the House. ‘The committee also agree fully in the opihion that Harney has - perjured himself, and only disagree as to whether he has perjured_him‘seif voluntarily of his own motion or at the instigation of somebody else. Most of the Democrats in the House believe that he was only the tool of greater conspirators, and the Democratic mempers of the committee would have pressed this inquiryto-find whether vtheirlbgy'ef is'true or not but for the exceeding anxiety of Mr. Danford to ‘haye no suggestion of such an opinion appear in the report, and the anxiety of the Democrats to report their vindication at once. At the suggestion of Mr.-Garfreld, the vote was a rising one, and was unanimous, the. whole House rising on the instant the Chair called for the vote, and the House then adjourned. Mr. Kerr was at once acquainted with the. facts, and expressed himself as greatly pleased. Dr. Pope considers him much better and ’says that, unless some untoward change occurs, there is every reason to believe that he will speedily regain his usual health. ‘ -

It has not been -definitely determined whether or not Harney is to be prosecuted for perjury..To usitseems there ‘should: be no hesitancy about bringing the infamous™ scoundrel -to justice. ‘Perjury - - black, .damning’ perjury=—should not be permitted ‘to go unpunished. - o 7 o

The attendance wis unexpectedly large, and quite a humbelj of mew members were added to the roll. " We regret exceedingly that s_ivcki'iess. prevented us from being at our post of duty at this gathering of the editorial fraternity. A severe attack 'of bilious colie, lasting from 5 until 12 o’clock of Wednesday night, and the effects of which are yet keenly felt at this writing, played sad havoc with our calculations. | It deprived us of a pleasant visit and a joyous reunion: But such is life. = dioyil st ' In the absence of both President and Vice President, the venerable John Milliken, -of Plymouth, officiated as President pro..temh.

' TILDEN AND HENDRICKS. In an article reviewing the political situation as it appeared to careful observers at the close of last-week, the N. Y. World of Sunday remarked:

A ppearances still indicate that Governor Tilden will be the leader at the start. - It is pretty clear, too, that his prineipal competitor will be Governor Hendricks. . The friénds of Governor Tilden profess t 0 count upon 450 votes to start with, and those of Governor Hendricks upon 200. The balance will be divided between Bayard, Hancock, Allen, Davis, Thurman and Parker. Under the two-thirds rule, 491 . will be: necessary for a nomination. 'Whether Governor Tilden will be able to secure the odd forty votes, is a question: not worth discussing in advance.. Certain it is that the‘animosities which clouded: the horizon some time ago are being softened by time and free discussion. Goyernor Tilden’s friends are as confident ‘of his nomination -as were- the friends of Governor Seward in 1860, and give as good and better reasons for their confidence. ~Owthe other hand, the supporters of Hendricks manifest as firm a belief in his'success. But the fact that in New York a joint ticket of the two.names is now. under discussion proves that both these candidates are beginning to think a compromise ticket more probable than formerly.

- We are pleased to observe that our New York brethren are beginning to appreciate the ‘propriety. of paying some attention to the necessity 'of carrying Indiana. With Hendricks on the ticket that desirable result can be attained with absolute certainty. L — . The Lagzi';na'e ‘Demoecracy. o

The ‘Democrats of Lagrange county met in mass convention at the court house in Lagrange 6n Saturday, June 3d; Mr. Francis. Henry, -of Milford township, presiding,.and put in nomination the following county ticket: '

For Representative, Daniel Stough; Clerk, Otis 1., Ballou; Recorder, J. J. Hostetler; Treasurer, Abraham Clark ; Sheriff, Erastus Nelson; Surveyor, Valentine Biddle; Coroner, Jas. Kennedy; Commissioners—First District, Daniel ißoyer; Second District, Harvey Olmsted; Third iDistriet, Nicholag Newnam; =+ LA

The name of James Clugston was presented for Representative, and he having received a majority oever either of the other candidates on the first ballot their names were withdrawn, when Mr. Clugston was declared the unanimous nominee for the office of Representative. But at this stage of the proceedings Mr. Clugston, who had been absent, came before the convention and declined to accept the nomination, whereupon a vote was taken upon the three remaining candidates (D. N. Btough, Cyrus Filmore and A. “Leighton),which resulted in the choice ~of Mr, Stough, as above stated. .. .

A. B. Cornell, of New York, was first on the ground. Indiana delegates and politicians—among them Morton’s brother-in-law, Holloway, Pension Agent Hi.

1t was apparent from'the be‘g'vin‘ning} that: Blaine was the favorite. The news of his serious illness. created intense excitement and caused much uneasiness among his devoted friends. Telegraphic communication was maintained with the utmost regularity, and as soon as undoubted assurance could be given of Mr. Blaine’s certain recovery, the tide set steadily and unerringly . in’ his ' faver. = Conkling’s supporters have been laboring industriously to win over the ' scattered forces of Morton, directing their ef-: torts principally: to the econversion of the: negro ‘and carpet-bag- delegates from the South. The Conklingites command huge piles of greénbacks, and it is broadly intimated that a judicious distribution of that convenient meédium of exchange has had a marvelous . effect upon - these patriotic gentlemen from the Sunny South. Bristow’s following is astonishingly ‘insignifieant. He has a few supporters in quite a number of delegations, but one after another seems to yield to the pressure of the majority. Hartranft, is not talked of outside the Pennsylvania delegation, 3 majority of which is anxious to shake him off’in order to vote for their first choice, Blaine. Don Cameron has discovered that it is not in his power to transfer the Pennsylvania delegation to Conkling, as per agreement, =

If Blaine should fail to receive the nomination on the third or fourth ballot, it is almost certain that the antiBlaine .element will unite on GoVv. Hayes,who seems tobe regarded a general favorite as “second choice.” Should Blaine, however, receive the nomination, Hayes only needs to say “yes” in order to receive the second place on the ticket. Lol | . The Ball openéd; t ! A few minutes after- 12 o’clock ’ Wednesday noon, Hon. Ed. D. Morgan, .ghairman of the national executlve committee, called the convention to order.

The entire afternoon was devoted to effecting.a permanent organization, - b ot Rumors of a combination ilga,iust; Blaine are current. The Blaine men, however, feel confident of securing his nomination on the second or third ballot.

“Death -of County Clerk Jos. 8. Cox. The sad intelligence of the death of Joseph S.-Cox, County Clerk, is received with profound regret by-every good citizen of Noble county. Mr: Cox had been in f;eeble health for two or three years, and was visiting friends at Three Rivers, Mich., at the time of his death. The funeral services took place yesterday, from the residence of J. M. Humphrey, at Kendallville, of which city Mr. Cox had been an honored and highly respected eitizen for a number of years, until his removal to Albion to assume the duties of the Clerkship. A wife, son and daughter are left to mourn the departure of a kind husband and cherished and loving father. But they are not without the consoling sympathy of the'éntire ‘community in this sad affliction. The County Commissioners have appointed Geo. B. Teal, of Kendallville, to fill the vacancy ocecasioned by the death of Mr: Cox. His suecessor will ‘be chosen-at: the October election.”

MR. CARPENTER BEFQRE THE SENATE. Ex-Senator Carpenter is fast acquiring a most unenviable reputation asa legal bully, in the trial of the Belknap case before the Senate. lis conduc’ty in argument hasbeen sericusly animadverted upon by the conservative men of his own party, and has, on several. occasions, given positive offence to democratic Senators. ';"So‘ much so, that upon-a repeifiit-repetitibn‘ of remarks amounting almost to insult to theé ‘Court of Impeachment, Mr. Thurman rose in, his-seat and admijn-, istered a deserved rebuketo the ex-Sen-ator. 1t certainly is extremely mortifying that the procgedings of the most important Court ;éver convened in the United States, and whose duty it is to try one of the most serious cases if our political history, should be interrupted by such epivvdes.

- * THE VIOE-PRESIDENOY;/ 't . . S 0 much interest cefities: on the Presidency that the importance of selecting a good man for tlie second office does not appear to be sufficiently appreciated. ’ In the general scramble and hutrah, it seems to be lost sight of that one-fifth of the elected Presidents died shortly after they were inaugurated; the succession fdevolving,, in each' case, on the Vice-President. Harrison ‘died about a month after his inauguration, and was succeeded by John Tyler; Zachary Taylor :lived ‘only ;a-few months after he was Installed in the White Hause, and VicePresident Fillmore became the con- | stitutional head of the Government; and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated less than two months after his seeond inauguration, Vice-President Andrew Johnson succeeding to the Presidential chair. Too much care can hardly be "given to the selection of a nominee for the. Vice-Presidency, when it is considered that, if elected, ‘he may be called upon, at any moment; to assume the duties of Chief Execu~ tive of the nation. Up to this point, only three Democrats have been prominently mentioned in Washiugton in. connection with. th‘e,'Vibe-Presidency-—William 8. Holmax, of Indiana, Gilbert /C. Walker, of Virginia; and ‘Thomas Swann,.of Maryland. Mr,, | Holman has requested his friends. to: abstain from using his name ‘at St. Louis. -He says that the course he has conscientiously pursued in Con- | ‘gress has been of such a character as to debar him frowi the hearty support of the South, and that a ticket would, therefore, be weakened by putting, his name ugpon it. - Mr. Walker is per: sqnally unobjectionable; but the South are determined that no man from'a | State whicli left the Union and joined | ‘the’ Confederacy :shall be placed on .the St. Louis ticket; so that, Walker is ‘out of the question.

he ‘then being unconscious. Surgeor'; General Barnes, and Drs. Bliss, Verdi and Pope soon appeared, and lost no time in cupping the veins and resorting to other counter irritants and revulsive enema. From 11 until four Blaine lay unconscious, breathing regnlarly- The phyoieians 'said Mr. Blaine wds suffering from' hyper excit;eménti ofj the brain and nervous system, superinduced by the, recent events in which he was a prominent actor, besides the symptoms were aggravated by the weather which, 'to day, was oppressive. It will be recollected: that several weeks ago M. Blz\._ine was confined te his house several days, by a slow type of malarial fever, but appeared before the sub-ju-dieiary: committee, who were-investi-gating the chiarges against him before: he .had fully recovered. This, with theexeitement both before the eom* mittee and in the house, the large. number of ;persons dailyin conference Aith himg and hig attention to ex‘tensive i:correspondence, ' including very many telegramg from all parts of - thé country, especially 'during ‘the past week, the loss of restjand‘ot,h'gr causes. produced the strain ‘upon his mind that eaused his illness to-day. Seerctary Bristow €alled as'soon as he heard . of Blaine’s illness, as did also Tish, Robeson, P. M. Gen. Jewell, Gen. Sherman, Senators Ferry and Paédock, Gen. Garfield, and other gentlemen .of prominence. The #ympathy for Mr, Blaine was not contined to political friends, many Democrats havingcalled toinquire of his condition, and regret-. ing his sudden-illness. At 4 o’clock r. ir. Mr: Blaine’s consciousness gradually returned. This evening one of them said, in private conversation;, that the attack’ was clearly a case of sun-stroke, or heat-stroke to which Mr,Blaine was subject by overwork, excitement and Jloss of rest. The physician further stated that at first he was apprehensivecthat the attack might be appoplexy, but an' examination disclosed ‘no symptoms of that disease. At 8:30° pP. M. Dr. Bliss remarked that the patient’s ‘atpack was yielding to treat--ment with remarkable ragidity. . .. L |A'Waghington dispateh, dated June/ 12, says ex-Speaker Blaine’s condition,

in the opinion of his physicians, Drs, Pope and Verdi, shows constant signs of improvement. e has _‘sl'ept'; all day as he did alllast night, His sleep has been interrupted, and abnormal at times, but in the main it has been conI < . suicide Extraerdinary.

The most extraordinary suicide that ever startled.any community took place at Lafayette, Ind.:/Saturday last. A special dispateh to the Chicago T'ribune gives the horrible pafticularg’ with gréat minuteness. © The name of the suicide, is James-A.'"Moor, aged 35./ Te was—a farmeriliving about 15 -Iniles sbuth ‘of: Lafayette. He leaves: a'wife and three children. No dause is known for the deed,. The manner in whieh’it.was accomplished is perhaps upparalleled in horrid ingenuity. He came to the Lahr House Saturday, said he was perfecting an invention, and would probably. stay a ‘week, but would visit his' home Monday, and prepaid his bill till that time. ‘He called” at the machine ‘shop of Harding & Sons, had a large new broad-ax and two bars of 3 inch wide by 1 inch thick iron, 16 inches’ long, whieh he had riveted -to the head of the<ax. -On either side, fasténed to these bars in the shape of a handle to

an:ax, he had a system of woeoden bars 8 feet long, the extreme end of which was fastened to a cross-piece, secured to the floor by hinges. The ax was raised and held to|its nearly perpendicular position by!a double -cord, fastened to the wall. DBetween +the cords. stood a ecandle, arranged so that when the candle burned down to the cords it would burn.them off, and the ax fall. -~Where theax ~would strike he placed a small box, open on ong side, in whieh when found, was his head with some cotton, which had been chloroformed. His chin \was heldup from his neck by astickjrun across the boxy: through ‘holes. on jeither side, holding: his'head firmly|in position. IHe was strapped tightly to the-floor with two straps, one atound

his legs, another about his arms and breast. The straps were both screwed to the floor, rendering it impossible to move. It is suppésed that he sat his ax, lit the candle,: and. strapped

himself to the floor, put' his_head in the box with the chloroformed cotton, ‘and -was - probably insensible when the ax fell. The ax and fixings would weigh about 50 pounds, and would fall a distance of from 10 to 15 feet. His head was completely severed from the body, and the-ax buried in the boards beneath. | Ll
