Cor.

“BRICK” has atlast decided that he will not support Tilden. He remains true to his promise.

I~ the lurid light of the recent events on the plaing, the Senate ought no longer to resist the transfer of the Indian bureau to the war department. It has been shown by the most experienced officers of the army that such a transfer would be: advantageous to the government in every respect. The Indian bureau and its thieving agents have done more to promote hostilities with the red men than all other agencies combined. - . - Rl y

PERHAPS if the troops employed to sustain ithe rotten regime of the Kelloggs, Pattersons and Spencers in the southern States had been sent in time to re-enforce the devoted band operating against the bloody Sioux, the United States would have béen spared the humiliation of a defeaf at the Rands of the savages, and those who mourn the mutilated dead on Little Horn River would have been spared their sorrow.. It is about time that an aaministration is given the reins of power which will cease makt:g war’ apon its own people and. concentrate the army upon the frontier where it is needed.

| THE DECLINE IN WHEAT. . That in Which farmegrs3ze principally interested 'at thisftime sow Hial the wheat crop has Been Harvested, is the prospective reward B¢ their arduous labor. ‘lt is but r@hral thak every producer ofswheat should e¥ince a desire for a‘dgatq ‘Compensatiof, ‘and that a failure. at meeting with a realization. of ' these expectations “Would “ereate @eep ~disappointment ‘apiohg dgriulturists. Present prices aé wheat,.are. indeed. discourdging to the farmer, and it yeed not, therofore, De wondered if an earnest desire be expressed o “learn: the reason .why.” In order. to.impart to.the rpaders of Tne BANNER- thé’best: cbtainable in+ ' foymation bearing upen’this subject, we transfer to our’ editorial -eolumns the following froni Tuesday’s €hicago Fribupeysiioy shiie sk :

. Since the last national holiday, two ‘weeks ago, the price of: wheat in: this market has declined 1434 cents per bushel, or nearly 14 per cent. This is a very important change, as it involves, or acecompanies; a = similar shrinkage in the selling value of nearly all the wheat in the civilized world. The loss to holders (ﬁ’ wheat 1 this city is' enormouss’dnd not more to those who own thei:wheat:imow:in store here than to . those who have bought much, _lar%%r gquantities for futute delivery. It is a matter for surprise and thankfulness that none ‘of them have failed (exeept an operator in “puts and calls”) though not &' few have found the load a-heavy one to bear. The reason is that most of the parties on the “long” side ‘are amoiig our leading capitalists, .and. able to calmly meet losses which swamp an ordinary business man. =~ The chief cause of this decline is: ‘understood to be the fact that a good deal of thie wheat in. New!X ork isiny a critical condition: . The, crop of :1875 was harvested in wet, weather, and a good deal of that wheat was damp: ‘enough to suffer' undér’the intense heat thadt has reigrned on the seaboard: for two. or three weeks past. The danger is- not so much to.. grain actually, in ‘ store, however, as to that which is exposed to a hot' iand moist atmospliere for several diys together, waiting for a-chance to be unloaded. About one .mil}ion bushels of . wlreat is now afloat i New York harbor; ~with no storage room in that city, ne demand from Europe; and a' scareity of ocean freight room, which pitevents holders from sending . the grain ta Europe on_their ,é)an account, and ‘taking the risk of finding a market on ‘the other side of the Atlantic. : Under: this condition of things the New York market is very much depressed. ' The best bid telegraphed yesterday, as made in that city for ““fair| spring,” was $1 per bushel.—People hold off, afraid to buy; the low price, which would' otherwise be .a powerful . inducéement, bemng no temptation to purchase wheat which may be spoiled when delivered. It is ‘probable that the excitement there is considerably greater than is warranted by the’ faets in the case; but it ex-.ists,-—and reacts forcibly on the Chicago market, though there is no No. 2 -wheat here.out of econdition, and, no fear that any of it will become so..

The readers will doubtless feel curiousito. know . how much grain New York has already on hand, that she is not able to take care of . the millionbushels wWaiting in ‘her harbor for a resting place. Weean answer. Yésterday - -her warehouse contained a trifie over 3,900,000 bushels of -all kinds of grain, or about one-quarter of the 15,250,000 bushels which the warehouse of Chicago can care for at one time. 'And with this picayunish provision for business she proposes t 6 transact the grain trade of the world; while, for want of more. capacity, she is responsible for no small part of the heavy denreciation whish hae ‘talkon place during the past fortnight in the selling value of wheat, flour, and other breadstuffs. . ¥ g :

" *IN REFERRING to the action of the ‘Democratic State Central Committee, ‘in relation to the adjustment of the Supreme Court difficulties,the LaPorte, ‘Argus says: “Fortunately for this part of the State we are in Judge Biddle’s district, and he, having been ‘elected two years ago, holds his office fyur years longer. This lvaves the people of this part of the State com-. paratively but little interested in the’ solution of the question. It seems probable that the people of the dis-. tricts represented by Judge Downey and Worden will desire to have them retained on the ticket and there is but little opposition to them in any part of the State. Itis only fair to say that the investigation resulted in ‘causing every member .of the Central Committee to feel especially favora~. ble to Judge Downey. He is unquestionably the ‘Noblest Roman of them all’” That’s just what Tur BANNER thinks. g

Wil he empty out the Conkling dependents. from end to end in the Empire States. “Will he ostracize the Morton tribes of redkless officials in Indiana? Will he tutn back the hands in the desolated ‘South and destroy the Clayfon, Spencer, Bruce, Palterson, Dorsey ‘and Pinchback hosts of plunderers? If his pledge means anything in theline of honesty, it means that: he- will! sweep the whole ¢ivil service ‘out of: place and end the degenerate power: of Grant by calling new officials- to every public trust, over the heads of the Téadérs’ who have disgraced the; dervice by their favorites and partisan’ ‘henehmen. . This Mr. Hayes dare not do; and more, he does riot mean to do it. Ilad:he given an lionest thought to the, byroad pledge he has made to a nation that is. sick at lieart with the greedy ~partisan hacks, forced :linto place by the men who ‘'made Mr. Hayes a Presidential candidate, he would have paused ‘before uttering so shallow a politieal-deceit.” - &

. THE INDIAN WAR. = Brigadier General George F. Crook reports as follows, from Camp on Goose Creek, Wyoming Ter., under date of July 15: : My last, information from the Red Cloud Agency was that the Cheyennes had left there to reinforce the enemy in wmy tront. As this takes away all the disturbing element from that'section, I have -availed., myself of ;the’ Lieutenant-General’s permission, and ordered . eightt companies of the Fifth Cavalry, under Colonel Merritt, tojoin me at this'point. . The;best. informa‘tion I can get from oy fromf is that the Sioux have three fighting men to my one. _Altheugh I have no doubt of ;my ability to whip them with [%y present force, the victory, would bé one barren of. results, and so; I have thought it better to defer tlre attack until I can get the Fifth here, and then end the campaign with one erushing blow. . The hostile Indians are, .according to my advices, encamped on the Little llorn, near the base of the mountains, and will probably remain there until my re-enforcements come up. I received a dispateh from General Terry this morning asking me¢ to co-operate. . I will dg so to the best of my ability. ! :

. Tue Philadelphia Telegraph, an orthodox republican organ, has the good sense and boldness to declare; “The, weakest ‘portion of the lettér (of acceptance) is that which refers to the sehool question. What Gov. Hayes says about the importance.of putting a stop to agitation coneerning sectarian ' control of schools is all well enough, but it is to be doubted whether anything is to be gained by the General Government attempting to assume control of a matter that seems to properly belong to the States. We have hitherto regardéed the utterances of cértain ambitious. politieians, who had their eyes longingly fixed on the Presidency, with regard to this matter ‘as the merest demagoguery, and we ’ woulld have been just as well satisfied ‘if Governor Hayes had passed over in silence the school plank, just as he has passed over in silence a number of other planks in that very shaky affair, the platform constructed by the Cin‘ceinnati convention.” :

. When Brick Pomeroy 'denounces democratic -nnminecs. as ‘wurrupt, 1t simply” means that they are men of incorruptible integrity ‘whe’ would scorn to court favor with the”prince of blatherskites. DBrick’s -vulgar denuneciation never damages public men in the' estimation of honest, upright and decent -citizens. - His ‘opposition to Tilden will have no more effect upon Derhoerats than his eoarse- denunciation of Lincoln (whom he repeated1y branded 'a baboon) 'had "upon Republicans. . /The day for tvhat style of “argument” has happily gone by.

- THE Albany Argus says: “The Democratic National Convention marks a new era in the history of the democratic party. It was thoroughly aggressive in its character. It wascomposed ‘of ‘fresh representative men; men from the people, who understand the people’s wants, who would stop at no compromises.” ! ;

Tilden and Hendricks on the Financial Question. ¢ SARATOGA, N. Y., July 16.—The substance of the conversation between Gov. Tilden and Gov. Hendricks is gradually becoming publi¢, and from 'gentlemen who heard it I gather that the subject of inflation was not once broached by Mr. Hendricks nor did he advance any proposition for a modification of Governor Tilden’s hardmoney views in the forthcoming letter of acceptance. In fact the Indiana Governor’s friends are very generally _recalling the fact that he has never ~in any speech nor by any act advocated inflation, and that inflation views 'have rather been attributed to him by opposition newspapers than claimed by hilself. It is very generally conceded that (he will not present any such views in his forthcoming letter. i Governor Hendricks, in conversafion with a number of gentlemen here, _both before and after. the.conference, ‘Spoke most cheeringly of the prospects of the canvdss, and declared (Q:o'ver',nor‘ Tildén 'was a stronger candidate than he or any one else would have been, and expressed the assurance that Inddana and the West would support him ‘enthusiastically.—Cor.

shodting at Walkerton.

: A @ We clip from the.South Bend Register, of the 12th inst., the following particulars of ashooting affray which. occcurred at Walkerton, and by which a former ¢itizen of this place was made the innocent victim of a drynken assault. The particulars are thus related by that journal: P The little burg in! question is possessed of two hotels, the Florence House, J. B. Giberson, proprietor, and the Union House, James ‘' Brubaker, proprietor. It appears that the two above-mentizrned landlards hayve been af togperheads with. each other #or some time, and on Monday last got into an altercation which finally resulted in Giberson being “thumped” by Brubaker.. The noble “host” of the Florence could n’t bear the humility aftendant upon being worsted by his rival, and so, after getting the requigite amount of “rot-gut” aboard, went out, and coming upon a man who in ‘his maudlin condition he supposed to be his rival of the Union ITouse, he drew his revolver and fired, bringing down his man, who, however, after being picked up, proved, to the horror of Giberson, to be an inoffensive eitizen, Edward Fitzgerald by name, in-. stead of Brubaker, the man he had taken him for. - 'The shot took effect in Fitzgerald’s ‘thiréh, lodging in’ the ‘bone.: The wounded man was immediately taken care of and Giberson arrested. As we stated . yesterday, Prosecuting Attorney Ford was telegraphed for and left, in company with Sheriff Turnock, for Walkerton at one o’clock in the afternoon. " Upon their arrival they called upon the wounded man, from whom they learned that he had agreed not to prosecute Giberson, as he was drunk at the time of committing the-act and had promised to make every possible reparation in his power 'if he was not prosecuted. Messts. Ford and Turnock returned home at a late hour last night.

' About an Eariy County Convention. | KENDALLVILLE, July 14, 1876. { MR, Epiroß:—Noticing in THE ‘BANNER that a number of Democrats desire that the County Convention should be held early in August, I'give it as my opinion that all such dre very short-sighted and do not reflect for a moment. that the two parties are so evenly'divided in this coupty,and that; local influences are so smng. that it is absotutely necessary, in order to place the right men in nomination, to; allow the Republicans to make their nominations first. Had such a course been adopted two years ago, the entire democratic county ticket would have been electad. . It-is strange that Democrats will not learn anything from their opponents. If the success of our county ticket would not have some influence on the Presidential election, I would not care who would be elected for ecounty, offices; but as the success of the Presidential ticket is of paramount importance to me, I pen these lines and if you;concur with me in this you can do something towards enlightening the “unterrified.” e Yours truly,” |* €./6G.
