A general commencement of active military operations at that time will not prove injurious to American productions.

T=E GREAT temperance revival seems $o take deep root in Philadelwhia. A telegram states that Francis Murphy, the leader of the movement,

addressed about three hundred liquordexzlers and their families on Sunday evening at the Tabernacle on Broad sireet. . The hall was filled to its utmost capacity. A number of people signed the pledge at the conclusion of the meeting, the first to do so being a Tiguor-dealer. There were seventeen temperance meetings held in the city on Saturday. \Over 5,000 peovle have sizned the pledge sincethe commencement of Mr. Murphy's labors there, «nd it is estimated ' that 1,000,000, of people bave signed the Murphy pledge since that gentleman began his work.

A b b i e ?amw y & s that mothing of & Sullgß: character can be heard from Meg - den relative to the final termination of the presidential contest and the present state of public affairs. ToSuch inquiries we have uniformly replied th(i:-sMr Tilden is an exeeedingly cautious statesman, -siow t 0 thrust his. ~views upon the publi¢, and very care%a in his utterances. It needs no argument to show that, under existing eircumstances, Gov. Tilden is pursuing exactly the course which prudence dictates, and whiek in due time.will be amply vindicated. = " By saying this we do not wish tobe understood as deslaring that Mr. Tilden’s lips must of necessity be sealed, nor that he studieusly avoids any:and all leferex_xce to-the gx.-eatfoutrage up-. on p:oplpar sufirage which resulted in annulling the: verdict rendered by the American. peoyile last November. It would be singvlar, indeed, if such wete the case. Hence, we are inclined to place some reliance in the statement of a correspondent of the Baltimore Bwm; who says that a venerable ‘Southerner receatly called on M, Tilden and told him that the Whole:guntry would have sustained his claim and made him President had he taken a firm attitude; early atter the election and insisted -upon his rights. In reply ‘Mr. Tilden is reporied to having said that he hed thought carefully and most eonscientiously over the subject /in. all its t.ossible phases; that he had 'become <convinced that should he ‘adopt the course suggested it would ‘be resiste:d by the radical party to the extent o’¢ drenching the landyin blood; that he shrunk from the responsibility of precipitating another terrible fcivil ‘war upon his countrymen, and -consented to,the;cbmpromise which -averted so dread a disastér. e felt as keenly as any one the Impropriety f of tlle means by which the present result, had been ‘brought about, but-for | all that he-did not Tegret his own. ac‘tiorr. As it was, the people of the United States understeod it; the democratic party to-day occupied such a pr-oud attitude before the country as it had never occupied before, and no nortal power could resist its triumph- ¢ march to success in 1880—all of _which isrdoubtless true. Tue BANNER only wishes to add that in order to render this triumphal march doubly certain, Tildeh and Hendricks mustbe assigned to the same position which they occupied in the memorable strugl gle of 1876.

SENATOR BAYARD ON THE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL. It need not be said that the electoraltribunal which terminated its labors by declaring Rutherford B. Hayes to have been elected President of the United States, is in very bad odor with a large majority of the American people. Men of all parties admit this to be true. It is, therefore, “up-hill business” to convince the masses that there was anything commendable or meritorious in the measure creating the electoral commission. _THE BANNER,it will be remembered, favored the adoption of “the plan,” and, if the original purpose of meting out equal and exact justice had been ste_adf,astly adhered to by some of its champions, the people in general would to-day applaud its inception and adoption as cordially as'they are now free to denounce its ultimate perversion. ik We are led to these observations by the perusal of a letter from the pen of Senator Bayard, the distinguished statesman of Delaware;, written in April but just published in the Lexington (Ky.: Press. Senator Bayard, it will be remembered, was not only one of the original advocates of “the plan,” but also served on the tribunal as one of the seven democratic members. In the letter referred to Mr. Bayard defends his course in supporting the electoral tribunal bill, and thinks that measure saved the country from a “terriblé moral and physical conflagration, which, if once suffered to get under way, would have swept out of existence our form of government, the public credit, and what remains of property for it to protect.” Of the bill and the results of its action he says: “No juster and fairer plan of dealing with a difficult and impottant'publi'c question was ‘ever enacted into law to my knowledge. Had the republican’ leaders ‘who assisted in framing the bill continued as true to its objects as-did the Democrats, a very different result would have been reached; not merely ‘that Mr. Tilden would have been ‘placed in.the office to which he had ‘been elected, but the more important value and permanent victory would ‘have been gained in the overthrow of fraud and lawlessness, and the establishment in the hearts and minds of: the American people of a belief that their government was founded upon truth, justice and right; and that the man-or. the party whotrusted in these would be secure. What this icountry needs is peace and rest.. We have tried force, and found that its victories were delusive and insecure. Let us now prove the superiority of the conquests of calmness and reason.”

AT THE GREAT LOG-ROLLING in Hendricks county, last Saturday, Gov. Williams was induced to deliver a speech to several thousand farmers who congregated there to “see the fun” and lend a helping hand. In course of the Governor’s speech he referred to the many advantages enjoyed by the farmer over those engaged in other pursuits, and gave some sound advice to younger members of his large audience in regard to the choice they shouid - make for their life business. He pictured the condition of want and suffering among so many of the mechanics and other laboring men of our cities, and contrasted their constant wretchedness with the plenty and comfort of the farmer. He thought that we have had'too many tonsumers -and too few produeers, and said there was far more room for workers in the country than the city,and would rec‘ommend all the unemployed there to ‘migrate to the farms where, if they ‘could ‘not ‘earn a dollar a'day, they ‘might get fifty cents or a quarter a day, or at least plenty to live upon. ‘He stigmatized debt as the curse of farmers generally, and said this was the greatest trouble they had to encounter, and ono which every one should rid himself of at the earliest

Tribute to the Memory of J. S. EDITOR BANNEE:— T “With all his faults we loved him still.” i ‘The announcement in your issue of the 24th inst., headed “Death of James S. Leckhart,” ';caused many a reader of THE BANNER to exclaim: “Poor ‘Lockhart’s dead! I'm sorry.” To those who visited his bedside within the past month, the announcement excites no surprise, and yet it brings with it a feeling of inexpressible sadness. e

What a train of memories this sad event recalls to the old resident of Ligonier. He was the embodiment of the history of the town back to the old days when the stumps of the for‘est were standing in Cavin street, and Fort Wayne was our nearest market town, up to the coming of the railroad and telegraph; then on through the years of peace, progress and plenty, $0 the bursting of the war cloud; the dfum-beat to arms; the terrible years when history was made at every swing of the pendulum, and written in the blood of our bravest and best; the long and fearful struggle, the alternations of victory and defeat; the gloom which settled like a pall over the land and which vanished like mist before the sun when Vicksburg fell and the bloody field of Gettysburg was won—then on to the close of the drama—the surrender of Lee, the assassination of Lincoln. ¢ e :

His name carries the old resident back to the days of the lpg cabin and puncheon floor; the open fire place with ‘its -huge back-log and gaping chimney; the husking bee; the logrolling; the house raising; the frolic, where everybody danced and Gid. Schlotterback played the fiddle, up thrpugh .the era of improvements, when the log gave way to the board, and the board to the brick; when the linsey was supplanted by the silk and the broad cloth,and the ox-cart by the carriage. ) G s

During this time the town was undergoing a gradual transformation.— The stumps were giving way to sidewalks; one-story buildings were being supplanted by two-story; the old red-school house fell into disgrace and was succeeded by a more pretentious structure; we began to put on style & our business men did not- pursue the wild dissipation of pitching horse shoes in the street with the same vim and ardor, and some wild, visionary enthusiast began to u‘rgé somebody else to erect a brick building. o But scenes of another kind come crowding on our vision. One memorable day men came hurrying into the street, while some one mounted a store box and read the news that Sumter was fired on. Another scene which none of us will ever forget quicklnyllowed. Joe Braden and his gallant body of men swung up the street and formed in line, while we bid them all God-speed, and many — farewell forever. Then our first awakening to the real meaning of the word WAR. A battle was fought, our boys were engaged, and the death roll bore mariy of their names. Then another march through Cavin street—the saddest it ever witnessed. One of our heroes (Ithink it was Jolin Stansbury) marched up the street, the file-leader of a long line to follow, marched as a conqueror, covered with flowers, but—dead in his coffin! v How quickly one event followed another in those dark and terribledays. The return of the wounded; the hurrying to the front of new companies and regiments; the harrowing suspense which racked the soul of the father, mother, or wife, when the first scant tidings were flashed over the wires that another battle was in progress, in which the son: or husband was known to be engaged, followed only too often by the tidings that he was lying “ with his Pack to the field and his face to the foe!” Thank God, it is all over. : :

All this, and more, rises up 1n memory at the mention of liockhart’s death, for in and through it all he was the one active, eonspicuous figure of our local history. No public enterprise or chatitable undertaking was consummated without either his aid or leadership. T/ntiring, -restless, persevering, he threw the whole power :of his being into the work, and followed it with unflagging ardor to the end. His famjliar figure became so thoroughly identified with the streef that we wonder how it will 100 k without him.. . :

I have known him intimately for 29 years, meeting him for the first time in the summnier of ’55, in" the old onestory frame store which in that day stood parallel with the street opposite Stone’s tavern—now the site of the Ligenier House. I have good reasons for remembering the event. -It was the oceasion for one of the many good, kind acts, that he delighted in. His old friends will remember what a superb specimen of physical ‘manhood he was in those days—above the usual height, portly; erect, broad chested and broad shouldered, ¢lean limbed, with a step as light and springy as an antelope. He was-a splendid example of nature’s handiwork, and his heart was as large and tender as his frame was powerful and comely. He could do nothing half way—whether the impelling motive was ambition or charity, gratitude or revenge; once enlisted in any undertaking he strained every faculty, exhausted every means to ac: complish his ends. Opposition to his schemes was- only the dam thrown across the brook, making it more turbulent and ‘powerful. But to call out the whole power of the man, the enterprise must be a friend’s, and not his own. :

He waffs a born diplomat. The skill and finesse which he brought into the management of delicate and intricate affairs, could only be appreciated by those who instinctively sought his aid when their schemes miscarried through their own bungling, or when caught in the toils of their own folly. Many a man, high ‘in public esteem and position, owes much of his success to the unseen hand of Steve Lockhart; not a few were pulled by the same hand from off the verge of a precipice. That he possessed in a marked degree the talents which, in a broader field of action, develops into a Tatleyrand ora Richelien, none who knew him well will doubt. i _ " He was a good hater. When a man

offepded him he didn’t dislike the man, have a slight aversion for or feel unfriendly towards him. e simply hated him, and if that man done him an intentional injury, he followed him with that E . \“Patient search and vigil long : i Of him who treasures up & wrong”—

until ‘the wrong was expiated, and then—he was sorry for it all. - The objects of his aversion were favored in one respect, they were not long ignorant of the state of his feelings towards them. He hated shams of all kindss — ham men, sham measures, sham religion. Nothing hollow, false or pretentious, escaped the shafts of his keen saxgasm and biting irony. His afie::%lp were as strong as his dislikes. | The man who done a favor he never forgot; the man he loved he “grappled to his soul with hooks of steel.” Neither ever sought his aid in vain, and that aid was not given grudgingly -or sparingly, but with all his beart and soul. The trials, troubles and plans of his friends he made his own. ¥He brooded over them by day, dreamed of them by night, gave them precedence over his own affairs, and became 'so bound and wrapped up in

them as to become oblivious of his own: interests. He was a delightful social ecompanion, with a ready wit, a keen sense of the ludicrous; a hearty enjoyment of and interest in the welfare of his associates, a kind heart. It was no wonder he was the life of that band of rare old men he loved so well—the Woods, the Stages, the Pancakes, the Ogdens, the Engles, the Harshes, the Shobes, the Keehns, the Kinnisons, the Teals, and dozens more of the old settlers. How he enjoyed %heir society ; what a delight he took in their laughable descriptions of pioneer life; how

he revelled in the combined assaults of wit and irony they Jaunched at him, after maneuvering until he drew the fire of the whole party. - How keenly he relishéd the practigal jokes __théy played on him; with what mock earnestness he would denounce the “scandalof?s ” manner in which Unecie Jacob ‘Wolf got the upper hand of him in the affair of the razors; these old surviving friends of his must miss him now. He loved Plain, good, sensible old. men and womefn, especially if they had ph:ssed through a severe battle with the world. He loved children, but, most of all, he loved God’s children—the poor. ‘ o ‘ With a very intimate knofedge ot the man, I would say, without hesita‘tion, that the strongest attribute of his nature was that * which covereth a multitude of sins”’—charity! Not that kind of charity which ostentatiously heads a subscription list, bup the pure and simple expression of opé who loved his fellow man. It was a part of his being; it penetrated every fibre; kept time to every pulsatri()n of

his heart; it never slept, never grew tired, never failed to yield a quick response to the call of want or suffering, It did not find an outlet in one channel only; it.relieyed the poor, soothed the afflicted, encouraged the despondent, visited the sick, buried the dead. It did not end with his own benefactions. He incited others to follow his example. In nothing was he so persistent, so unrele nting,; as in his appeals (and, when they failed,) his demands for help for the needy. If every recipient of Aiis bounty could follow him to the.-grave, what a funeral procession it would be. E. D. M. Mansfield, 0., May 29, 1877. el [The above was designed for last week’s issue, but came too late.]

' CONFLICTING; reports have been published relative to the extentkof the disturbances along the Texan border. Shortly before his departure from Waslington, Gen. Ord’s attention was called to the statement that the raids on the Rio Grande ‘were very‘. much exaggerated, and that there was really no good reason why our Government should take any action regarding them. Ie replied that this was an er.tire mistake, and prebably related to the lower Rio Grande, where there had been little or no trouble. The Texan border was over twelye hundred ‘miles long, and the incursions across it from Mexico did not always reach the public press. On_the upper Rio Grande be declares that the raids occur with regularity every month and on nights when the moon isifull, and when the opportunity is greater to run off cattle. Reports which have reached him show that twenty or thirty persons have been killed during the last eight months, and that the outrages increase rather than they diminish. Under the new instructions given him he believes that he can co-operate with the Mexican local authorities in suppressing marauders; but he earnestly protests -against the story that there are no raids and that the measures.ordered merely cover designs of the filibusters.

¢ European War News. The voluminous reports in the city dailies from the :seat of war, of military movements, battleg, etc., as a rule, are simply bosh; the merest sensational trash. About the only truth to be found in them is their daily contradiction of previous reports. The sum of information gleaned thus far which is at all reliable, is that the Russians are in force on the left bank of the Danube, and have not yet crossed. That the Turks are concentrated on the right bank to oppose their crossing. Most of which might be inferred from the length of time that has elapsed since war was declared, (if 'it- has been declared at all) which one disgusted with the bogus reports and contradictions might be inclined to doubt. It is also tolerably certain that the Russians are in Asiatic Turkey. Have made an unsuccessful attack on Kars. Attacked Batoum and were worsted. - Have captured Ardahan and will take Erzeroum if they can. But it is not'at all certain that all this will not be contradicted in to-morrow’s news.—LaPorte Herald. :

The latest from Europe is the defeat of the Turks before Kars; 4,000 Circassian cavalry was surprised ata small village near Kars and over 3,000 of them were killed; the Turks are in retreat from Olti; they are fortifying Constantinople; Kars is now completely invested, and the Russians are said. to have lost 8,000 men in the fruitless attacks on that town; rumors of peace arc declared false.

In addition to the complications of cholera and plague, to which we have already adverted as threatening the combatants in the Russo-Turkish war, the Turkish forces are reported to be suffering greatly from scurvy, owing to defective dief. = Ague and dysentery are also said to prevail to an alarming extent, and, to cap ‘the elimax, small-pox rages in Brosnia—~N, Y.

COLUMBIA CITY ITEMS. Our fire department were on parade last Tharsday evening, playing they were at a fire, but before morning were at one in reality, }Friday morning about two o’clock the: alarm was given that the Pittsburg passenger house was on fire. ‘The fire ‘department responded promptly. The alarm was not given however until the fire was under such headway that it would have been impossible to havé saved it from ruin, had-the engine been there when the alarm was given. Part of the roof had fallen in when ‘the fire‘men arrived, inside of ' two minutes they had a stream of water playing on it, and in two minutes more had two streams. which soon put it out. - Of course it is a complete wreck, and will probably soon be re-built. It caught from a lamp in the ticket office, in the absence of the night operator, who was out (it seems) without a leave of absence. ITe, of course, was discharged.. . : _:The engine and hose cart done good service, were there ready for business in good time, and did extzemely well all things considered. The hooks were a little late, and it is the intention of the boys to leave them every. time. The telegraph lines were demoralized for a short time. :

The R. R. Company has repaired a room in the old depot, where the telegraph office was, before the passenger house was built. e

Another fire occurred Saturday night at 12 o’clock, across the river; but further away than before, and the fire companies made’the long run, -only to find an old vacated house almost in ruins. - There being no danger of any other buildings, the chief thought it adyisable not to, set the engine, as the building was too far gone to be valuable if the fire yas put out, and there being no place to get water, it was abandoned. The hooks were on hand after the other companies were all there. The building was set on fire; there is not-the least doubt. We are to have a celebration here on the Fourth of July. We want everybody and their friends to! come and see, and help us. The fire department are making the necessary arrangements and expect to have a big time. An invitation is to be extended to all the heighboring towns and their fireé departments to join in with us, and it is expected that we will have a large crowd. The firemen will have a dance in Central Hall in the evening, the proceeds to be used in buying uniforms for the companies, who have none. e :

C 2l P e LRt Sy e AS IN DAYS GONEBY, A Gay Old Time at-the Hpndricks . County Log Rolling. - ) | . ; Governor Williams and Other Distin- ' guished Citizens Participate. (From the Indianapolis Sunday Sentinel.) _Governot Williams was the conspicuous object of interest at a large assembly of the citizens of Hendricks county on a novel occasion yesterday. The occasion was an old fashioned “log rolling.” .on the farm of Dr. A. Furnas, three and one-half miles south of Danyille. The Governor and Dr. Furnas, although of different political sentiments, have been warm friends for several years, and have been associated many timesin the Legislature and at meetings of the State Board of Agrieulture and the State Horticultural Society, the Doctor: being always a member of the latter,and the Governor for many years a memDber of the other society, both of which were formerly held at the same time and place. At one of these meetings some years ago the two fell into a discussion on the subject of log rolling and burning. and on |the most expeditious manner of burning the heap they held opposite views. The Governor was sure his plan. was the better and expressed a wish to convince the Doctor of his erroneous notion on the subject by a practical test, The Doctor assured him of his willingness to put the matter to proof, and said he would some time invite him to a log rolling on his farm. The Governor promised to be there, if in. his power to do so. Some time befare his election to the office he now fills the Doctor met him and reminded him of his promise; and again after the election jokingly alluded to the matter, and was- somewhat surprised to find the Governor still inclined to accept an invitation. TUpon this the arrangements were made and the day appointed. i

Governor Williams and many others left here yesterday morning for the scene of the contest. His excellency was escorted to the depot by a futl escort undex the command of Adjutant General Russ. The Doctor, the Governor, and allwere astonished at!the multitude of log rollers who congregated at the place assigned for the work yesterday. If all the hands tha@ge present had held a spike and assisted. in the work, the job would have been completed in 15 minutes. The number present were variously estimated at from one to two thousand, The crowd consisted mainly of the farmers of the county and the citizens of Danville, who were drawn out partly by the novelty of the occasion, but more from a desire to “see'the Governor.” There was real {work to be done, however, and the Governor was not backward in taking a hand. 'He was challenged by scores tolift against them. A compliance with all such requests that -were made would soon have worn him out, and he was forced to decline the numerous challenges received, competing occasionally with some venerable pioneer of three score years and over, and many such were there. As an ox-driver his excellency was an eminent success, having that easy,: kind and coaxing way with the gentle kine that gave them confidence -in their driver as a friend,and stimulated them to @o their: best. - His manner with the cattle proved him a true gentlenian, and gave a lesson well worth’ remembering by all present who have the charge of dumb brutes. | The helpers were many, and the work of rolling the logs and making them ready in heaps for the flames was accomplished before noon.

A TERRIBLE TORNADO. » Joais s : Mt. Carmel, 111., Partly Destroyed by a Heavy Storm. Fourteen Persons Killed by The ~ Falling Buildings and Burn~ .ed to Death. And a Large Number of Persons seriously Wounded. ‘ ; i VINCENNES, Ind., June 4.—Mt. Carmel, 111, a small town about 25 ‘miles southwest of this place, was visited by a itornado about 3:30 thisiafternoon. Twenty business buildings,two school houses, the court house and about one hundred residences were destroyed by the tornado‘or the fire which followed. We have only learned of fourteen bodies having been found so far. And their names dre as follows: William Newkirk, Frederick Geoke, J. Tennis, George Moore, George Watkins, Geo. Byrus, Goodrich: Matteson’s child,Mrs. Burton, Charles Norman, Ben Ballard and William, ‘Walker. At this late hour the names and number of the wounded are not known. Soon after the storm was over the town was discovered’ i / o TO BE ON FIRE and word was sent to Vincennes for aid, which was given, a fire engine being sent out by a special train, which soon extinguished the flames. Theloss is now estimated. at about $250,000. Am?mg : | THE STORES DESTROYED

and injured are the following: Ridgeway & Russell, William Leitz, Snyder & Co., Shannon & Hughes, —— Stein, R. Parkinsons, J. Jaquess, E. E. Edgar, M. J. Hobberton, Keniff & Biddle, Seitz Brothers and the residences of Philip Baumgardner and G. T. Beddell. All is excitement,‘and it is almost impossible to learn the full particulars. . A child was killéd by the falling roof of one of the school houses, and George Watkins was killed by the destruction of the store. Young Edgar and the engineer and firemen of the Air Line road were :

KILLED AND BURIED in the ruins of Edgar’s store. House and a young man named McDowell R. Parkinson and J. Jaguess were recovered ‘alive from the ruins of the residences. ] S 1

The loclgt which made its last appearance in 1860 has now renewed his career. Some days-ago we printed an account of the first appearance of the lucusts in Rensselaer County in this State. Within a day or two they have appeared in great force within twenty miles of this city, in, New Jersey. They have done much mischief, but they have not yet committed ravages g 0 extensive as to become a publie calamity. It is by no means certain that they will do so, but farmers and gardeners may well feel uneasy until the insects have actually and finally departed. We add that Paris green' is the most effective prophylactic against the pests which has yet been discovered.—N, Y. World.

The forest fires of several years ago are being repeated in northern Michigan. The season has been so dry as to parch up the green leaves and the very earth itself. The flames bear everything before them, trees, farm houses, barns, villages, railroads, crops. The vicinity of Bay: City and East Saginaw has suffered -most. 1 Montreal; Canada, is in bad luck. Several disastrous fires have. occurred there during the year. The last was on Wednesday, in which a quarter of a million dollars ‘worth of property was consumed. : : - Passenger rates from Chicago to htladelphin Bave bogn redniood £ 814, and to Baltimore to #lB5O, .«

DR. SCHENCK’S PULMONIC SYRUP, BeA WEED Tonic, and MANDRAKA I‘xm.s,——These medacines have undoubtedly performed more. cures of Consumption than any other rémedy known to the American public. They aré compounded of vegetable ingredients, .and contain nothing which can be injurious_tp the human constitution. Other remedies advertised ascores for Consumption, grobably contain gpium, which |is a somewhat dangeroqs drug in all cases, andif taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury; forits tendency is to confine the ‘morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must make a cure impossible, Schenck’s Pyl in?onic Syrup is watranted not to contain a ?article of opium; it is composed of powerful bu; harmless herbs, which’ act on the langs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from. the body. These are the only means by iwhich ‘Consumption can be cured, and as Dr. Schenpk’s ‘Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, anMandrake Pills are only medicines whi¢h operate in this way, it i 3 obvious they are the only genuine cure for Polmonary Consumption. Each Bottle of this invaldable. medicine is accompanied by fuli directions, * Dr. Schenck is professionally at his grincipal office, cor. Sixth and :Argh-ets., Philaelphia, every Monda({, where all Jlefters for advice must be addressed. | ¢ =
