Hox J. D. NEWw, the present able miember of Congress from theé Fourth Indiana District, declines the democratic nomination for ie-election recently tendered him with great unaniniitg He is tired of congressional life. THE BANNER exceedingly regrets this determination on the part of Mr. New, for the reason that it will be very difficult to find his equal in that District. ‘

SoME of the republican papers are trying to make their readers believe that the Democrats are “niad” because the guerilla Mosby has expressed a determination to take the stump for Haves and Wheeler. This is indeed a feeble method of relieving themselves of the odium which attaches to Mosby’s advotacy of the Cincinnati ticket. The Tilden men don’t care a fig how many rebel guerillas take the stump for Hayes. Tilden wil be elected in' spite of all their stumping. | §

A HERALD telegram says: “ Til‘den’s friends claim that; Hendricks is committed to their side on the financial question. In fact, some of them goso far as to assert that Hendricks’ Pposition on the money issue has been jgnisunderstood, and that he always has been a hard-money man.” Of ‘course.-he has. No man can place his finger upon a solitary utterance by Mr. Hendricks that | could reasonably and fairly be construed into-an endorsement of any impracticable inflation- scheme. Gov. Hendricks has to all intents and purposes evér been an advocate of zwu?d‘ currency. . -

NorHING proves more conclusively the great strength of our national ticket than the bitter warfare waged against, it by the . republican press. Unable to successfully assail the eminent fitness of Tilden and Hendricks for the positions to which they are nominated, and knowing the democratic national platform to bd unanswerable, these papers are reduced to the necessity of substituting vituperation for argument. Théy have precious little to advance in favor of Hayes and Wheeler; hence their main stock in trade now consists of scurrilous attacks upon the demecratic standard bearers.. The people are beginning to understand this, and their | verdict will be retidered accordingly.

TuE Daviess County Democrat, published in a county adjoining’the home of vur new candidate for Supreme Judge for the First District, speaks of that distinguished gentleman in very complimentary terms. It says: “Judge Niblack has been highly complimented by receiving' the nomination for ‘thé Supreme Court. -He appreciates the compliment. The Judge will be an ornament to the Supreme Bench. His integrity is above suspicion. The

Judicial ermine in his keeping will remain pure and stainless. The Judge Jhas served fourteen years in Congress and there is no man who possesses in a greater degree-the confidence of the people of flx country. The country needs more men like Hon. W. E. Niblack” . eyl o

JUDGE 8. E. PERKINS ON SACRED COR- : e RENCY. &, Judge Samuel E. Perkins, who takes the place of poorold John Pettit as a candidate for Supreme Judge, announced himself an original Tilden man, and; accordingly, greeted the Tesult of the St, Louis convention as being in exact accord with his wishes. His position on the finance ' question has been -that of a steadfast hard‘money- man. In proof of this, it is only necessary to cite an opinion delivered by him in 1864, when he was on the Supreme Bench. The question at issue was onthe validity of a promissory note, made payable i gold. The Judge fortified his position by recalling certain facts as recorded in -biblical history:- : ' )

. “Coin was the sacred currency, as well as profane, of the ancient world. Historically considered, we find that ‘the: Almighty and his prophets and apostles were.for .a specie basis; that gold ‘and silver were the theme of their constant eulogy. Abraham, the patriarch, - 1885 before Christ, being about 3,740 years ago, purchased of Ephron, among the sens of. Heth, the field in which was the cave of Maecphelah, shaded by a delightful grove, for the burial-place of his dead; and he paid for it 400 shekels of silver, current ‘money with ™ the merchant. Gen. xxiii, 16. So-Solomon, the wisest of men, seems to have had. a decided *preference for a hard-money currency. In first Kings, chapter 9, verses 27 and 28, for example, it is said: ‘And Hiram “sexft in the navy hisservants, etc., and they came to Ophir and fetched from thence gold 420 talents, and brought it to King Solomon.” And in chapter 10, verses 14, 15 and 29:.‘Now, the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was,” ete. ' Walker, in ‘his - American law, p. 145, declares it an act of despotic power to make paper a legal tender. 'Lhe principal interference of government with the currency ‘has been to debase it,” etc., etc. . -

"~ phe opinton rendéred by Judge Perkins on this occasion not only proves Aiim a clear logician, but-also denotes a considerable familiarity with Diblical information. “The substitution of such a man for the nop-beLieving Pettit deserves the highest commendation. D eel < —— FOR SUPREME JUDGES. In compliance with the decrees of the Democratic State Central Committee, conyentions were held in each of the four Supreme ‘Cioutt Judicial districts on Thursday last for the purpose of filling vacancies caused by the withdrawal and removal of some of the candidates for Supreme Judges. In ,thg.»*fii'st district the ¥on. W. E. Niblack, of Vincennes, was nominated by acclamation, though not until Judge Buskirk had discovered that his removal from the ticket ‘was inevitable.. In the'second district, Hon. Geo. V. Howk, a distinguished and able lawyer of New Albany, was selected to take the place of Judge Downey. Inthe third district, the wellknown jurist, Hon. Samuel E. Perkins, of Indianapolis, was chosen to succeed the notorious John Pettit. In the. fourth district, Judge Worden was allowed to remain on the ticket and the following resolution was adopted: R - WHEREAS, Judge Worden has in all respects proved himself to.be-an honest, upright and able Judge, therefore, Resolved, That this judicial district adheres to -his nomination and asks the co-operation® and votes of the democratic party of the State to secure his election. o :

. THE BANNER would have preterred the retention of Judge Downey, whom we regard not only an upright Judge, but a man in every respect calculated to adorn the Bench. However, we are well satistied with the present candidates for the Supreme Court, and shall give ‘them our cordial support. They are all men of ability. Co

THE SARATOGA' correspondent of the N. Y. World writes: “Governor Hendricks is making friends every hour here; the simplicity of his manner and his universal frankness in the discussion of all questions which come up leave no doubts -either as to his views and opinions on public questions:, He makes no mystery of his opiniens, nor does he keep himself secluded, butis at all times when not at meals or out riding, to be found sitting with his family on the piazza of ‘the hotel or in the parlors ready. to re.ceive and welcome -any friend or acquaintance.” - 7 -

~OF the twenty-four German papers in Ohio, only four support Hayes and Wheeler. The ‘most important and influential of these four “faithful organs” is the Cincinnati Volksblatt, whose principal editor (Fred. Hassaurek) has retired from the management of the paper in order to take the stump for Tilden and Reform:. The Volksblatt 13 a stock. concern, and the vote as po whether- the paper should support Tilden or Hayes stood 120 in favor of the former and 130 in favor of the latter. - ) ’

A LARGE number of the Republican papers, says the World, manifest their disgust with the recent operations of Grant and. his- direct movements in the interest of the numerous rings which have been plundering the Government.. They. are: now, after ‘eight years of praise of Grant, laboring to throw him overboard and :-convince the pablic that Hayes, instead of Grant, represents the Republican party. Their plans -are teo transparent to deceive anybody. . . =

THE Chicago. Tribune has become about as unscrupulous a partisan paper as can now be found among the more prominent journals of the country. It hasn’t the slightest hesitancy to invent falsehoods against Tilden and Hendricks -and the democratic party in .general. Party necessity, you knmow. . . .

THE DEMOCRATS of the Tenth (LaPorte) District met in convention at Michigan City on the 27th ult., and renominated Hon. Wm. 8. Haymond for Congress. ' Hon. Daniel Noyes, of LaPorte,was nominated for Circuit J udge, and George Ford, of South Bend, for P.osecutor. Gk ¢ ‘

- Gov, CURTIN, of Pennsylvania, has been claimed by republican papers as a supporter of Hayes and Wheeler. The ex-Gov. was in comsultation with Gov. Tilden, at Saratoga, ‘last week, and unhesitatingly avowed his intention to support the St.- Louis nominees.. . L

THE REPUBLICANS of NOB " AND LAGRANGE

ADMINISTER A STINGING R BUKE TO THE EDITOR OF THE KENDALLVILLE L MO ANTEARDY o

BY i‘NANIMOUSL 7 ‘'NOMINATING E. W,

WEIR FOR STATE SENATOR.

Pursuant to a call from the Republican Central Committees of Noble and ' Lagrange counties, the representatives of the Republican voters of thefse counties met in convention at Kendallville on Friday last, for the purpose of placing in nomination . a candidate for State Senater. - _

The convention' was called to order by John Paul Jones, of Lagrange.

. NELSON PRENTIss, Esqy of Albion, was elected chairman, and Geo. W. Roof, of fhe"sn}ne place, secretary.

Dr. Rerick, of the Lagrange Standard, placed in nomination for the of-. fice of State Senator, Mr. ELIzaH W. WEIR, of Lagrange. it No other name being proposed, James R Bunyan, of Kendallville, moved that the nomination of Mr. Weir be made by acclamation. ' Carried without a dissenting voice. Applause, and calls for Wéir. i, o Mr. Weir -ascended the platform, and in a few well-chosen sentences expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the honor conferred upon him—not so much beeause he had a longing for office, but that it seemed as a vindication of hinmiself against the infamous ‘slanders published by a paper whose editor resorted to such weapons because he (Weir) circulated a paper some years ‘ago demanding the removal.of C; Q. Myers from ILagrange on account of his indecent and flagrant attacks upon a prominent citizen of that place, whiech paper was numerously signed by the best and most substantial citizens of that county. Mr. Weir closed his remarks by saying he had no‘other pledges to make except that in the event of his election it should be his earnest endeavor to gu%serve the public good.

The convention then adjourned. BIOGRAPHICAL. f

, Elijah W. Weir was born in Washs ington county, N, Y., 1813. Removed to Lagrange county in 1836, rented a tract of land and pursued the occupation of a farmer. By industry and economy he was enabled to. acoumulate means which enabled him to purchase a farm of his own—the dimensions . thereof being increased from time to time until he was the possessor of .300 acres of productive soil. About the year 1844, he was elected a Justice of the Peace for Milford township, which position he held for a period of four years. _ . '

In the year 1852 he received the democratic nomination - for County. Treasurer, and was elected by something over 200 majority. During his administration a People’s party movement- was inaugurated -in Lagrange, and Mr. Weir having always been a pronounced Free Soiler or anti-slavery Democrat, he identified himself with that movement, the new party nominating him for re-election. He was reielect‘ed over his democratic competitor by about the same majority ‘with which he was first elected by the Democrats. At the organization of the republican party Mr. Weir became an active laborer for the cause éspoused by that organization. . Mr. Weir 18 a man of much more than ordi’gary intelligence, and of very positive convictions. ‘He is a pronounced advocate of the free trade and hard money “doctrines. If he should escape the fate which awaits his party in State and Nation, he will doubtless make a very creditable Senator. 20l )

* Joint Representative Convention. Pursfiaut to previous call the Republicans ‘of Elkhart and Noble counties met in convention at Kendallville, July 28th; for the purpose of nominating a joint representative for the two counties. ' i Teaath The convention was called to order by C. O. Myers, of Noble county. Isaac E. ‘Knisely, of Noble, was electéd president and C. H. Chase, of Elkhart, secretary The convention then agreed to apportiqQn the votes to lin every 50 cast for, é republican candidate for Secretary of State at the last election, which gave' N oble county 4% votes and Elkhart 53. : -

A motion prevailed to make the first ballot informal, and Dr. N. Teal and F. W. Miller were appointed tellers. s i

- The names of Henry Hostetter and Jacob C. Zimmerman, of Noble county, were then announced, and the convention proceeded to vote informally, with the following result: For Hostetter, Noble 111¢, Elkhart 2614, total 88. For Zimmerman, Noble 2814, Elkhart 2614. total 55. A formal ballot was then taken, which resulted as follows: HOMBEIOT. .. o s cvoi il vninkis sdiis XOK Zimmerman. _.......:........ . 831§ -On motion J. C. Zimmerman ‘was declared the unanimous nominee of the convention. Adjourned. - I.E. KNISELY, Pres’t. C. H. CHASE, Sec’y.” -

Convention. Notes.

The Ligonier delegation to the Kendallville : convention was generally complimented for its fine appearance. J. C. Zimmerman has just cause to feel proud of the support he received from his fellow-townsmen. He received all the votes of the Ligonier delegates except one, or possibly two. "Squire Hostetter was probably convinced, last Friday, that “Tammany” is not quite defunct. Sk Jakey~ Wolf seems to think that “Tammany” has branches at Kendallville and Albion. ) There has been a marked decline in Hostgtter Bitters gince Friday. Though Bill Barney plead that there were ever §0 many Democrats at Elkhart thirsting for Hostetter Bitters, the convention did not deem it advisable to turn the cold shoulder to Jacob. The happiest men at Kendallville, on Friday, were the Bunyans. Come to think-of it, there was someé cause for their joy. It is not every.day that a convention tenders a unanimous nomination to a gentleman who is fa-

mous for playing with a flail on the back of an unruly editor. | : ' «This is our answer to the shameful

.abuse of Mr. Weir by the Kendallyille Standard; this is our rebuke for the ‘seandalous prostitution of the press by Mgyers,” said one of the delegates after “Such a-rebuke—such an emphatic condemnation of personal journalism,” said another, “has never before been administered by any convention.”

. “If you want to.get a unanimous nomination in a republican convention,” said a delegate, #just get the Kendallville Standard to denounce you 38 a thief, scoundrel, &c. It will have that effect every time.” . Hiram Iddings looked as if that little dish of crow did n’t rest well on his stomach. - But it does n’t take Hiram long to get over. S ‘Mr. Merritt was probably a little officious in pledging Mr. Weir to Morton. ;

Lightning doesn’t seem'-tq strike in the direction .of the great and good Hartsuck. : Lt

- Just to please our old friend, 'Squire Dunn, we take occasion to say that the Kendallville convention was not run by postmasters. ‘i e

Hostetter Bitters had a bad effect on the candidate who received a half vote from his fellow-townsmen. It is generally believed 'that the Bitters was, too highly mixed by the general manager at Elkhart. ; PR LY In one sense, the defqat of Henry Hostetter. is to be regretted. If by some inexplicable coneatenation of for tuitous circumstances the’Squire could have'been elected to sit in the Assembly, he might have been the means of| extending the application of that famous parliamentary rule which allows a presiding officer duplicate voting. 1f duplicate voting had been recognized in the Kendalville convention, Squire Hostetter would have made a little better showing. . -

Gentennial Correspondence. A Visit to the Exhibition—Champién Heavy Weight—TheCorliss Engine— Machinery Hall, Attendance, Ete. - From Our Own Correspondent. 5 i PHILADELPHIA, July 24, 1876. - After the extremely hot spell, covering the last few weeks, we took advantage of the Godsend (in the shape of a fine breeze and delightfully cool weather) and forthwith proceeded this morning to take another glanee at “our show.” : :

Having arrived at one of the numerous entrances, we were afforded eopsiderable merriment and, at the same time, some annoyance, by having our further progress impeded by a lady (fair, fat and forty), who wasin something of a dilemma. She weighed ‘about 360 pounds, and, despite the: - warning of the gate-keeper, persisted ‘ in endeavoring -to pass through the ‘turn-stile. As these turn-stiles: were ‘ made to accommodate ordinary meor‘tals only, there was naturally some ‘difficulty. - After a vigorous effort to enlarge the stile by using her body as 'a wedge, and- finding herself unsuecessful, she tried to turn about. But her confused state of mind and the amusement of the spectators, when she found she could neither advance nor retreat, can only be imagined.. After| a few scientific moves, however, the unfortunate Jady succeeded in extricating besself and went away, (toward one of the wagon entrances, at which she was admitted), grumbling that “the Centennial Commissioners must have thought none but children were ‘coming to the show.” = | Being.undecided as to which building to visit first, weé waited to see ‘which way the crowd would go. Foli lowing the masses, we soon .reached Machinery Hall. Here, of course, the centre of attraction is the'Corliss Engine. As any attempt at describing it would be futile (excepting perhaps by Mr. Corliss himself), your readers i must be content with only a few geni eral remarks, until they see it for themselves., This' mammoth engine was built by Mr. George H. Corliss (after whom it ‘'was named), at Provi-| dence, R. 1., and by its power alone is set in motion the thirteen acres of machinery contained in Machinery Hall and its annex. On the 20th of May, at 12 o’clock ~ President Grawt and Dom Pedro 11, Emperor of Brazil, started this immense engine. i Before the opening of the Exhibi--tion, Machinery, Memorial and" Main | halls were found to be too small to ‘ ‘accommodate all the exhibitors, ‘and it was necessary to build annexes to them. In the west end of Machinery Hall is a large pond and waterfall. 'During the heatéd term g};hénsands “could, be seen enjoying the refreshing ~“sea breeze” on the banks of this min- | iature Niagara, and the children, judging from their loud laughter, found great delight in being sprinkled with the spray, which was occhsiona]ly blown over them. : [ During last week the attendance was smaller than at any previous time since the opening. This is due, partially, to the fact that a very large number of _personsvis'*ed the grounds within the week after’ the Fourth. But principally the falling off has been caused by the protracted hot: weather. To-day the attendance was better. It is estimated that about 21,-4 000 paylng visitors were upon the grounds. The authorities are not in the least discouraged at the small number of visitors in- attendance last ‘week (from 16,000 to 18,000 per day), ‘and say that- they expect a daily at‘tendance of 100,000 during September ‘and October. Judging from appearances and what we hear from strangers, we do not think these figures at all over-estimated. ’

? By a new-rule, published this morning, school children and their teachers will be admitted to the Centennial grounds at twenty-five cents per head. This is done in order to give the children a chance to visit the exhibition during the summer vacation. - As we do not wish to encroach too much on your valuable space; we will close tor the present with the assurance that we will keep you well posted on all matters of interest transpir-’ ing in the Centennial city. - G, LITTLESTAMPS.

TILDEN AND HENDRICKS. Their Consultation at SaTHEIR TLETTERS OF ACCEPP fWNEA,RLY READY ~ \FOR/PRESENTATION. . EACH WILL FAVOR REFORM, ECONOMY AND A RETURN-TO SPECIE - o SCIVANERT. §5 L ; [Special despntcfxvto the World.] hets ; SAR—{\TOG;\, July 30.—The letters of acceptance of Governor Tilden and Governor Hendricks are. tlie subject &f general discussion among the so-. Journers at Saratoga as well as in 6ther sections of the country. While here Governor Tilden declined to talk ~over the points of his letter withirany person who-he supposed would communicate:to the public press. There are prominent men with whom he did talk freely, and some of the essential points are thus becoming known. A draft of the letter in general outline has been made, subject, however, to change and modification in' the revision. 'Governor Hendricks’s letter is ready, but will not be given to the public unkil Mr. Tildey is ready with his. Both letters wifl take decided grounds on the questions of reform, correption of avuses, reduction of expenditures and rigid economy in all branches of the public service. The -evils: which' have grown out of the system in: vogue under the Republican Admimistration will be dwelt up--on, and the. necessity for a radical change will be shown and ‘a pledge made for a.compieéte and thorough reform.- It will beheld that the depression in the business interests of the country, the want of employment by’ artizans, mephanics and - laboring classes; are the natural fruits of mismanagement, extravagance, profligacy and corruption in the administration of affairs; that one of the essential features for the restoration of prosperity is the reduction of expenditures, the lightening of the burdens of the people, thie suspending of unneeessary public works until the country is relieved from the present depression, the abolition of unnecessary 'public offices, the stoppage of extravagance and the complete rYooting out of the system of fraud that has been carried on under the present Administration. The financial question will be square1y met by Governor Tilden, and will condemn '’ the policy of the Republicang, as acting in bad faith towards the interests of the country in fixing -a'time for resumption of Specie Payment without providing any means to carry that provision inte effect; and, further, thiat the policy that has been - carried out is of that make-shift character which has resulted in injury to the business of the eountry and the destrugtionof confidence without securing the result—resumption—which a,majority of the people of the country earnestly desire. Forced resumption will be held to Be impossible, its accomplishment only to be' brought about by the revival of industrial and commereial interests, and the reduction of expenditures in every department of the Government. The policy of keeping the. expenses of the Government at the figures of the past ten years, now when every business man, farmer and fidchanic is compelled to economize and reduce his expenses, will be condemned as one -that is in every way detrimental to all classes and all interests. The question of outrages in the South will receive due consideration and will*be dwelt upon in terms so positive as to remove all opportunity for the Republicans to make capital out of the “bloody shirt.”

Governor Hendricks’s letter will remove many ,of -the points that have been made by the Republicans against him. It will show that he is ot an inflationist, but in favor of | the earliest possible return to Specie Payment; not, however, in an abrupt manner that will embarrass and injure the business of the country, but by a mode that will aid, rather than embarrass, the commercial interests. Like Governer Tilden, he believes that the important steps towards resumption are through economy, official retrenchment; réform and the revival of ‘ national prosperity. It is not known whether Governor Hendricks will touch the question of one term in his letter or not, but'heé unhesitatingly states that he is.in favor .of the term of six years for President, and a constitutional provision making him ineligible for re-election. He will condemn the policy that endeavors, for party or other considerations, to promote antagonism between different sections of the country, and will assert that'it is the imperative duty:of the administration to protect all classes and races, and see that they aresecure in the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges which the Constitution and the laws recognize. . ;
