SPRAKER KERR SLOWLY DYING. - Dispatches from Washington state that ipformatimi froth Mr. Kerr, late on Tx{esday night, is to tiié_ekect: that his condition is very' britical, his friends expecting him t:o‘iviv'eii but‘a day or two. A telegramn teceived by Mr. Sayler, signed by Mr.. Kerr himself,dated Rock Alum Springs; Tuesday, 7:15 r. M., speaks for itself: "My condition is. very, very feeble. I am weakening -hourly. Unless a change comés; my time is short. ~As a last hope, to gratify my good wife and :son, I' havei sent for Dr. Pope. Urgé him to come.. = ‘ (Signed) - . M.C. KERe.

In the House of Representatives Gieneral Banks rosé in his place, and” after congratulating the ITouse on the good fortune whichhad’ attended it and the degree of health and happiness which had accompanied it during the present long and laborious session, said that the House could not fdx-ggt-that at the very moment of its orgamnization one _of‘ its most beloved and honorabie members _h:dd been stricken with _'dis,ease and was still failing in health, until the House was led to believe that his end was very ‘near. e (Banks) had been handed Ly a member ‘of the IHouse (Cox) & } telegrmn.receivéd by that gentleman from tlie absent Speaker, dated 5;40 this afternoon, which read as follows: «My condition is very eritical. .

: THE CONTEST IN MAINE. The Hou. James (. Blaine appeared the other day at the State Convention which was in session at Augusta, Maine. It was thie first occasion of his appearing publrcly among his fel-. low citizens sfincg the Cincinnati Convention, and his friends were of course delighted to see his familiar face once more in- their midst. The new Senator made a_ short speech, bidding his children beware of Democratic wiles and vote the straight Republican tick--et.. There was apparent, however, underneath, the statesman’s words, traces of pain, caused by the effect of the action upon recent -wounds which have-not yet time to heal. His is one of those .chivalrous minds and highstrung temperaments, so intolerant of insult and injystice, that. ¢ writhes and agonizes under their infliction. He however shows, in the few words that he uttered at Augusta, that he is as magnanimous as lie is sensitive. He knows how thoroughly his friends have taken to themselves the indignities that have ‘been heaped ‘upon him by rivals that could not hold a candle to him for talent or for candor; and he advises ‘them to sink all personal feeling in the contest that is waging and come forward boldly and unitdely in Es:u-pport of ‘t"he party which,itheir opponents are endeavoring to remove from the places which it has so long occupied: But while the action of a great mind will enable one to overlook the injuries to himself,. the possession of the vgfry same quality pre‘vents a ' man jfrom 'fér’getting the wrongs done to his friends. M. Blaine’s adlierents admire him more. than ever for the forgiving spirit he has manifested.” This however only aggravates their indignation at the uvjust treatment which he‘gﬁts ‘Teceived at. the‘hands"of the very men whom they are now asked to assist. No wonder that they find it hard to enter upon the work ‘with energy and enthusiasm. 3 Tt e ; __L_\__..*..._,____ ; BEN. HARRISON’S CAREER.

- In order to familiarize the readers of THE BANNER with the past history of Gen. Harrison, the new candidate of the Republicans for Governor of Indiaxin,'we herewith reproduce from the Indianapolis Journal a brief biographical sketch of that gentleman: ‘Benjamin Harrison was born August 20ch, 1833, at the residence of his grandfather; President Harrison, in North Bend, Ohio. He was taught. his first lessons by a tut'q.r, but at the .age of fourteen he entered an academy near Cjncinnati, where he remained about’ two years. His mother- died when he was seventeen years of .age. In:1850 he entered Miami University, Oxford, 0., from which he graduated in 1852: Shortly afterward the subjeet of our sketeh commenced the study of law in Cincinnati, which he c{)mpleted .in two years.. e married in October, 1853, being yet only twenty years of age. Mr. Harrison settled in Indianapolis in March, 1854, where “he was soon invited to enter into -a law partnership with Gov. Wallace, which was dissplved in 1860 by reason of Mr. Wallace’s election as clerk of ‘Marion county, when Harrison became a partner of W. P! Fishback, Esq. In the fall of 1860 Mr. Harrison was elected reporter of the Supreme Coart. In 1862 he led the 70th Ind. Vols. to the war, being the first regiment from this State in the field un‘der the July call of that year: Col. - Harrison became a Brigadier General before he left the army, in 1865. In the meantime (in the fall of 1864) he ‘had been re-elected Reporter of the Supreme Court. The General now became conriected with one of the leading law firms of the State, and at }once entered into practice, taking a prominent position in his profession. ~ ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS, | The first session of the Forty-Fourth Congress came to a close on Tuesday evening at 7:30. The only serious work of the day was the reconciling of differences between members of the House on the bill providing additional troops for the Sioux eampaign, and. the bill was finally passed: In the Senate when the hour of adjournment had come, the gavel fell, a feeble clapping of hands followed, and the first session of the Forty-Pourth Congress Giltad ey, o T

Owr New York Letter.

. . NEw YoRK, Afig 11th. Ep. BAxyER: The publieation of the letters which announce the accéptance df tlxeir»ﬁominaﬁc;ﬂsb& Governor "filden and Governor Hemdrwkl bhave had an immense influence on public sentiment. These epistles are full of riches, and resemble a mine,. in; that while some of the tféasnresi lie uponithe surface, we have to dig and dive before we can discover the full extent of the wealth that js to us -vouchsafed, -glen are delving into them, trying to get to their very bottoms, and are discovering the value of the ore they contain. The letters of the Cincinnati nominees will bear no comparison with them, Men see the difference, and;:/uni&e t.hémselve_s with the forces under the’command of those ‘who “have. proved- themselves such able generals. . On the top of these comes the sound “of the first gun which has been fired in the cumimign. The armies in Alabama have measured their strength, ~and the “Reform standard proudly waves over ever citadel in the. State. This event eannot. fail to have i good effect upon the minds of our soldiers, for “nothing succeeds like success.” Every victory nerves the hands of the combatants for further conquests.

_ Fhe Republicags do not like the aspect of affairs at all.- In every patrt.of ‘the State are they _"sho\v'ing signs of disaffection towards those who assumed the character of their leaders. They are losing faith in the men who are placed in command of their army, and there is danger of open insurrection. Conkliiig is told by 'Chandler that he must withdraw his favorite from the ‘ruce for the Governorship. ‘Conkling had enough of thé curb at Cincinnati, and feels disposed to enjoy his freeddm of action now. Hisfriends feel somewhat as. the adhérents of Blame do. The. respective followers }o'f these statesmen thi}']k that their leaders were very badly treated by the National Convention. ‘They are not all enthusiastic 1 their support of the party ticket, and are almost in condition for open rebellion, if any attempt be made to put further insults upon-either of them. ' B

Governor Hendricks stayed lrére for a few hours the other day on his way hoine, and he gave us quite a cheering account of affairs in Indiana. The Orth disgrace may be taken as a clear indication of the manner in which the contest for the Governdrship of the State will be settled.

. All these thinhgs are having their effect upon the condition of parties here. The Republicans cannot recover their former buoyancy and elasticity of épirits: A chronic depression seems to have settled down upon them, and all events connected with the campaign seem to have formed a conspiracy to fincrease it. These circumstances have naturally a contrary effect upon the minds of the Democrats. They are full of energy. and hope, and . every element of success is theirs. . SAM.

FIGHTING JOE HOOKER’S CHOICE. ,

“Among its. editorial pencilings, the Warsaw Indianian of August 3; had the following: RO ey “The Columbia: City Post says that Gen. Hooker supports l'ilden, which is ungrue in évery word.” Just to show our Warsaw contemporary,hoyv sadly misinqumed.he is with reference to Gen. llooker’s presidential ; preference, we ' I‘epljbduée “Fighting Joe’s” vigoréus letter of congratulation as it appeared in the World of July Ist, : - .

@ARD'EN ¢iry, L. I, June 29, 6. To fI is' Excellency, Governor Télden.

MY DEAR GOVERNOR: I cannot refrain frdm offering you my sineere congratulations on your nomination to, the exalted office of the President of the United States. As-a quiet observer of the political events of .the nation, I know of mo one in any day that has afforded me sc muc¢h sdtisfaction,'and sincerely hope and believe that the wisdom shown by the selection at St. Louis will be fully ratified by the great mass of our people in November next. We require reform in polities, religion and morals, and-I am convineed that we will receive them generously at your hands. The whole government of the nation has been corrupt, desperately corrupt, and the honor and glory of applying the antidote, I am! convinced, will belong to you. If the fact of your nomination does not enhance the material values of the nation,,l am sure your election will do it:- Already I seem to breathe a new atmosphere, as. is’ the case with every well-wisher of his country. Sincerely yours, ’ Ben, [ .~ J.HOOKHR,| Major-General. The Indianian, in justice to “all concerned,” ought to give this letter a place in. its coldmns. Its perusal by the hide-bound -‘Republicans of, Kosciusko might be attended with beneficial results. Will you—dare :you, General, publish Hooker’s letter ? ”

-~ AN IMPORTANT prodnunciament"o comes from Cincinnati. The Catholic Telegraph of last week: contains a lengthy article from Archbishop Purcell defining the attitude of the Catholic Church toward the public school system of the United States. He declares that the church has no disposition to interfere with the system. He further says: ©“ No doubt justice and equality would entitle the Catholic people of this country to exemption for the support of other schools, or to a share of public funds in proportiock to the number of pupils in the schools, but even this claim weare disposed to waive in your favor.” The Archbishop is entitled to great credit for making this important and semi-official declaration. © | s ¢ et —— VISITORS to'the Centennial will be rejoiced to learn that a (limited) reduction of admission has been agreed upon. At a meeting of the proper officials, last Friday, it was decided that hereafter on the last two Saturdays of ‘each month the price of admission - shall be 25 cents instead of 50 cents, as heretofore.

AND STILIL: ANOTHER! THIS TIME IT IS A PROMI- ~ NENT GREENBACKER, Who Coneeives it His Duty to Rally Under the Banner of Tilden and Reform. The Clm.irman of the Ind;ana Iz:f.de;- _ pendent Party hoolareq for : Tilden‘: : |

The shock of a genuine surprise has been experienced by _the Peter Gooper party of Indiana. The Indianapolis, Sentinel of last Friday contained a lengthy eard from Major George W. Russ, chairnran of the Indyepexiderit State Central Committee, wherein he renounces all allegiance to the organization, and takes his stand in the democratic ranks - for Tilden, llendricks, and reform, giving his reasons for his not returning to his first love, the republican party. ‘He starts out with the,' statement . that the leudéts of the party having decided to call a ‘convention to meet at, Indianapolis on the 17th inst., for the purpose of putting a éj.ilver plank in the platform, and after”admitting himself to be in the minority, he annour;ce:s his determination to withdraw from the party on the ground that it has sold out to the hard money interest. He denounces Buchanan & Co. as the men who lust for office, and would secure it at . whatever cost to the cause and their country. laving formally withdrawn from the Independents. he takes up the republican organization, . ' e alludes to s old friend Grant as the commander of a pelitical ‘privateer, and to the leaders of the party as a crew who are going inte the campaign flaunting the bloody shirt, the emblem of sectional strife. Asa f;zﬁ r-minded. man he cannot follow such“]eéulersl{i p under such a flag, to say nothing of :plle corrupt character of the organization.. He then takes uptlie Tilden ahd Hendricks ‘icket and shows that the only hope of the couhtry is in it. So he gives in his adhesion to ?that ticket, and advises his political friends to do likewise. This will add much to the general demoralization of the already rattled independents. - .

S ity o WiA— The Duty of the Hour.

One of the most notable declarations in behalf of Tilden and Reform is that pf the ITon. Charles Goeépp, justice of the marine court of New York, an oflice to which he was elected by the Republicans last year. In hisletter resigning his membership of the German republican committee he says that he “seeks the welfare of theUnion “in the election of Governor Tilden as “its chief Ipugistrate,"’ though this bring him in collision with the organization of which he assisted.in laying theifoundation,; and which aided in elevating him to an important and honorable , position in 1875. Adter quoting from the address of the Fifth Avenue conference the following declaration: . : ' “The’ American people cannot. now afford -to risk the future of the republic in experiments on merely supposed virtue or rumored- reliability on .the strength of private recommendations. The man to- be intrusted with the Presidency this year must have deserved not only the confidence of honest men, but .also the fear’' and hatred of the thieves. . The eceountry must hdve a President whose name is already the watchword of reform,whose capacity and courage for the work are matters- of record rather than of promise.” ' he :

he cqncludes. “Such a 4 man has been found; one by whom two stupendous contests have not only been fearlessly undertaken, but triumphantly carriéd through. At the moment he is entering upon the third and greatest; to oppose him would be .in «ne, to my eyes, a crime; not to i’o]low,him, cowardice.” i ;

~ SeeaxiNg of Uncle Jimmy Williams, the democratic candidate for Gogemor, the Plymouth Democrat some time ago remarked: “While he ds a farmer, and ‘has accumu}ated considerable landed property, by'the sweat of his face, he has been prominent in State politics for the past twenty years. During the whole of his legislative career in the House and Senate of the State, his name will be found on about every roll;call, and hié record stands unassailed. The writer enjoys the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with him, extending back over a period of several years, and can testify to his personal and political integrity, his noble qualities of head and heart, and his fitness to occupy any position within the gift of the people. As a parliamentarian, he has, probably, no equal in the State. He knows the constitution of the State Dy rote, and ‘is perfectly familiar with the laws and regulations geverning every department of the State.”

UxnorLe Jim WilLLiaMs, Indiana’s next Governor, opened the campaign at Salem, Washington county, fast Saturday. He made one of those plain, telling speeches‘to which his fellow farmers take so much delight in listening. By the time the old gentleman, gets over about one-half the counties of the State, the determination of the hard-fisted sons of toil to elect one of their number Governor will be-'so generally felt as to cause Lawyer Harrison t 6 wish that be hadn’t left his comfortable law office to sweat. on the stump for:the empty honor of being a minority candidate for Governor. We are really sorry for Ben. He ought not to have permitted himself to be led up to the slaughter-house, and thus afford Morton an opportunity to chuckle over his sad fate. e Tl

. IN the Lagrange Standard of last week we find the following: When the vote upon the r?eal of the date of resumption passed in the House, last Saturday, Mr. Baker explained: “On this question I am paired with Mr. William B. Williams, of Michigan; if he were present, he would vote “no,” and I W;ou_ld vote “aye.” - " An examination ot the “Congressional Record” of August 6 corroléorates the above.. We .theregore cheerfully make -the proper correction of. the statement in our last week’s issue that Mr. Baker had voted against repeal. The daily er from whieh we obtained our in]}?)gglation reported Mr.Bakerincorrectly. I B b

“AND STILL THEY COME” + Ilon. Simeon K. Wole; of Salem, ‘lndiana, elected to Congress by the ‘Demoeracy of the New Albany Dis- | trict, in 1872, has comeé gutb, squarely for Hayes.and Wiieeler, and will take the stump for the republican ticket. ! He makes a strong German speech, being master of the Teutonic tongue. —Goshen Times. o ; ~ The above item of political ‘news” has been published in nearly every republican paper in the State. It originated in the oftice of the | ildiarrapolis Journal. i oo oy . We prol')(ise( to let Mr. Wolfe speak for himself, and the reader may judge for. himself how sadly'the Republicans stand in need of enc uragement when driven to the necegsity 'of inventing falsehoods to bolster up their -sinking cause. In a letter| dated!New | Albany, August 5, 1876, and addressed to . the Ledger-Standard, Mr. Wolfe quotes the paragraph above reproduced and corrects its mis-statements in these words: ;. |" Hen This item is inacturate in the fol{lowing particulars: lam not “of Sa--11lem,” cannot make “a strang German speech,” am not “mmter i\f “‘the Teutonice tongue,” Liive tob “epme out” or gone in “for ITayes ardl Wheeler” and will not take the stump for the Re‘publican’ ticket. With Wthe labove slight exceptions 1 belje\'e‘ the Jour‘nal’s item is corvecs: I may add, for the information (()Aé the Jpurnal and all others, that I' aw: for |[T'ilden and ITendricks, and haye been|since their nomipation, althoxgh I do not coincide with their, fnaneial [views. If, however, I shoulg refuse to vote until T find-men and platform exactly coming up to my iléa of p I'fect{on, I reckon I never would have the oppors tunit*of voting ¢t all. I | agree with ‘the St. Louis platbrm in al}l things except the financia plank, but the Republican platforn is' not satisfactory in any particular. Sofar als it regards ability, purity anc general |statesmanship, I regard thy Democratic ticket the strongest eitter party has had for forty years, while the Republican ticket is exceedingly \Vehk,x and if elected would have no power to raise I their party or theC()unm'y‘Lut of the ruts into which aad in which it has been run for the¢ past eight years. Such an :ulm’i’nistmtion;wcjuld be but a continuation of Grantism, because it would be run by the s‘am}e men. We must have a change. 'We must have reform, and Tildey and I[e{xdricks are the only namessinder which it can be obtained. As the Jowrnal has been hoaxed by some unscrupulous partisan, I presume i¢ will make the correction, Ilastily yours, ete, { Ll St Kj WOLFE. ,

The rumor prevalent in the West last Sunday night, that thé Stoux had met one of the military colimns in battle and been: badly defeated, was repeated widely on Monday |without either contradiction or corroboration. Regular dispatches from Gen. Terry’s command to the 7th inst. hint of nothing of the nature of the squay’s story: which has now awakened 3o much anxious expectation.

. SCHURZ AND HIS CROW. - Every uiterani}:c by Carl Schurz, prior te the Cineinnati convention, is in conflict with his present position’ and with his' singular advocacy of Hayes’ klect,ion to the Presidency. In the Fifth Avenue manifesto, which was written’ by Mr: Schurz, there ig the following accurate déscnptioll of the present. Republican candidate. "Lhe pbrivait is that of a man whom it will' not do to support for tlie! Presideney:-- L : . . *We shall support no.candidate who, how_’evqrﬂ favorably judged Dby . his. nearest friends, is not publicly known to' possess those qualities of mind and character. which the stern task of’ genuine reform requires;y for the American people cannot now afford to risk the future of the republic in experiments on merely supposed virtue or rumored ability to be trusted on the strength bf pr'yvate recommendations. In one word, at present no candidate should be held entitled to the support of patriotic citizens of whom the question may fairly be asked, ‘ls ' he really the man to carry thyough a thorough-going reformgof the Government? Can he with certainty be depended upon to possess' the moral courage and sturdy resolution to grapple with abuses which have acquired the strength of, established custorn, and to this end firmly fto resist the pressure even of lis party friends?” Whenever there'is reom for such a question (and doubtas to the answer), the eantlidate should®be considered untit for this emergency. This ino time for so-called availability springing from distinction gained on fiélds of: action foreign to the duties of government, nor for that far more, dangerous sort of availability whicli consists in this—that the candidate'be neither so bad as to! repel good citizens nor so good as to discourage the badi ones..! Passive virtue in the highi est-place has too often been known to permit the growth of active vice below.® W ’

S e —— Senator Morton on the Stump.

. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 11.--— Senator Morton was to-night escorted by the Hayes Guards, in uniform, from his hotel to the Academy of Musie, whieh was filled to overflowing. . - - | - Albert G. Porter presided, introducing the Senator, who spoke at great length, the greater- part of his discourse - consisting of dbuse of the democratic candidates. Ile referred to Gowvernor Tilden as “an inveterate‘ bachelor of 66—a life-long Democrdt, who has been for twenty years a leader in his party and closely identified with all of its' most infamous measures. Trained in a school of New York City polities, a graduate of Tammany Hall, a disciple of the revolution of 98, an ardent_sympathizer with the rebellion, he completely filled that character known during our war as “copperhead.”’ In conelusion, Senator Morton said: “The approaching contest in Indiana will be watched with the_ deepest interest by the whole country. Indiana‘is one of the three States vofing in October, and the result will exereise a powerful influence upon theelections in: November: In this point of view, the -importance of our success can hardly be over estimated, and no exertion ought to be spared to secure a legitimate triumph. The State ticket“presented by the republican party is a good one, and deserves the confidence and -support of alli General Harrison, our eandidate for Governor, needs' no introduction or commendation in this community. His high character as a man, his distinguished services as a-soldier in the field, his recognized ability as a lawyer and his great eloquence:as a public speaker, qualify him in the highest degree td lead the republican party to victory in this great struggle. A democratic victory in October means a triumph of the Confederate Democracy: throughout the nation in November, the subjection of the loyal element of the'South and the installationat the- national capital of the wery. spirit and incarnation of the rebellion.” L 5 ST e B : 1 A Negro Monster langed.

'The Campaign ‘in Indiana. - WASHINGTON, August 13.—Advices received by the Democratic_Congressional Committee from Indiana state that the campaign has opened in that State with remarkable vigor. The, meetings are large and enthusiastic, and the election of Williams for Governor is predicted b'z a very decided majority., Outside of the cities the nominati@jn of Harrison by the Republicans creates quite as much dissatisfacfion as did that of Orth. The committee begins next week a distribution of campaign documents, which a large number have been printed. -
