SENATOR VOORHEES is receiving handsome compliments av most of the democratic county conventions that ‘have been held since the delivery of his great speech. The fact that we have another democratic Senator at Washington, in the person of Joe MecDonald, seems.to be entirely overlook: ed. What can the matter be?

THE HENRY COUNTY democratic ‘conventidn was largely attended at -New Castle last Saturday. The profce'ediggs were entirely harmonious,and ~ resolutions were passed indorsing the v Hon. D.'S. Gooding for Secretary of State and the Horn. Edgar Hendersgon - for Treasurer of State. The platform ~ is strongly for-greenbacks and the silver dollar. | g it < T —— 4—— A VOoTE'on the silver bill will pro- " bably be reached in the Senate the latter part of this week, though this is by no means certain. Bayard and Eaton have made their “heavy,” speeches against silver, and Thurman . knocked their arguments into a cocked hat by his powerful speech of yesterday. The passage of the bill is no longer questioned. !

TRICKS OF THOSE *‘VISITING STATES--2 MEN." '

~ Bingular as it may sound, the repub- | lican “implacables” who first conceived thie idea of cemting out Tilden by annulling the decision ot the people of Louisiana and Florida, are said to be actually engaged in efforts to secure some confession from Madison Wells or some other member of the Louisiana Returning Board which will inculpate some of the “visiting statesmen” to New Orleans at the time of the count of theé presidential vote. Confirmation is given to this by the opinion of Administration Republicans that the trial of the Returning Board members will be followed by the indictment of Sherman, Matthews, Stoughton and others. They base their belief on the assertion that some of: the “yisiting statesmen” were aware that manufactured affidavits were in-, gerted in the packages of election returns after the latter had reached New ‘Orleans, so_ as to show or pretend to show that there had been sufficient intimidation to warrant the board in throwing out the votes of certain parishes, so as to defeat the election of the democratic ticket. It will be remembered that this was detected in one‘of the open sessions of the board, and was characterized at the time by ‘Mr. Stoughton as “a clerical error.” The law required these affidavits of intimidation to be made in the parish and be sealed up in the returns before they were forwarded to the Secretary of State. As there were not enough of them that were genuine to change the result ‘on the face of the returns, it was necessary, in order to influence she action of the board, to make these fralidulent; affidavits and slip them in with the returns. It is therefore admitted by many Repuablicans themselves tliat some of the republican visitors were perhaps really accessories after the fact to the manufacture and use of those aflidavits, and that if any indictments are to be found they will be based on this feature of the count of the returns, rather than upon any written promise of . immunity from Secretary ‘Sherman or others. Those who remeémber .the disgraceful part which John Sherman took in the infamous proceedings of the Louisiana Returning Board will find in this acknowledgement a full justification of their indignant denunciation of the disionored Ohioan. L

SoMe of the gold organs are publishing Gen. Garfield’sspeech in advocacy of the resumption (confiscation) scheme. We are glad of this,and hope the speech will not only be carefully read but also thoughtfully considered. A superficial perusal may have a tendency to befuddle the mind with- the “beauties” of Sherman’s programme, but a studious analysis will have the effect of convincing every unprejudiced mind that Garfield’s purpose is-to do.away with the greenback currency without substituting something equally good in its stead. When people once learn to understand that Sherman’s policy is not (as represented) to make the greenback “worth a hundred cents on the dollar,” but to wipe it out of existence, the finance question will be much better understood than is the case at present..

TIHE CONTRACT, gentlemen; the contract. That’s what we are fighting for.. Ye bondholders broke the original contract (to receive your pay in greénbacks) by changing it so as to read “coin”~-which the constitucion says is gold and silver. .That change was made without consulting the people, and it may yet become necessary, in justice to the people, to restore the original contract. But, whatever the final decision may be, both violations ‘of the contract will not be tolerated. Now, you can have your choice: recede from the second violation, and take gold and silver, or run the risk of having both violations of the original contract annulled, It is a plain proposition, and you may bet your bottom dollar that no fooling will henceforth be permitted by anincensed and outraged people. - ; :

~Y'ES, gentlemen, we too are emphatically opposed to sectionalism. We know no East, no West, no North, no South; we know anly.the Union, one and ingeparable. |We are also in favor of equality, demanding nothing for our particular section which we are not willing to grant to all others. The people of the#hole country favor the remonetization of the dollar of the fathers,. but a comparatively small number of insatiable money sharks, who chance to reside in the Eastern States, insist upon defeating the will of the overwhelming majority—of over three-fourths of the voting population. To this we are emphatically opposed, and against this weintend to wage unceaging warfare. ik

Hoxor to whom honor is due, we say. While we cannot endorse the peculiar notions held by extreme greenbagkers, it would be unjust to deny them proper credit for the good they have done the country by their continued agitation of the finance qiestion. They deserve credit for pointing out the éncrodchments of the money power-and for compelling the pecple to investigate the finance question. Praise is also due them- for their unswerving advocacy of silver remone-’ tization, With prudence and moderation they have it in their power to secure about all thiat is needed by way of legislation to rescue the country from the grasp of the money power.

- IN THAT stronghold of radicalism, Hamilton county, this State,’a number of Independents and greenback Republicans have decided to join the Democracy as the best means cf securing relief from Shyloek oppression, -These men participated in the democratic county convention lield at Noblesville last Saturday. The platform then and there adopted declares in favor of the remonetization of the silver dollar of 41214 graing, with.the coin--age free, and legal tender qualities ‘thereof unlimited; the repeal of the resumption act; the withdrawal of the atlonal bank-eiroulation and subsd:

The time has now come for organization. . We have frequently spoken of this matter in the columns of THE BANNER. Words alone will not suffice;: it requires action also. After having ‘consulted with a few of the leading spirits of the greenback and gilver cause in this (Orange) township, it has been determined to have a meeting at the usual place.of holding elections in said township on Saturday evening, Feb. 16, 1878, and organize and nominate a township ticket for the coming spring election. Every voter who is in favor of the remonetization of silver and opposed to a further contraction of greenbacks,and in favor of the repeal of the resumption act, and in favor of making both silver and greenbacks a legal tender for all debts, inclu«ling custom duties, are most cordially invited to attend and assist in the organization. Past party affiliations are not to bebrought in question. What are your principies now and what is your course to be in the fature? is the only legitimate] guestion. J. B. Stoll, editor of THE BANNER, and J. R. Rheubottom, editor of the Wolcottville Gazetle, have been Imvited and wilk no doubt be present and address the meeting,

After stopping and rgconnoitring f(_)r a short time,: all returned southward. The question asked by all was: “What’s up?” : Since which time it has been rumored that this business was toinspect the dam, and that the Lake Shore roadis not satisfied that it is safe. And it is further rumored that legal proceedings are likey to be commenced to enforce those who have the water power under control to “either fish or cut bait.” We will patiently await further developments. The railroad company have filled their ice-house here with crystal ice about five inches thick. The Lake Side House and Peter St. Marie have done the same.

- The Whitley county platform is a good one. We think we can discover (in the back ground) the foot prints of our old friend, Col. I. B. MecDonald. The fire light, last week seen from Ligonier and supposed to he at Rome City, was caused by the buruing of the residence of Doctor Valentine Hahn, two miles east of Springfield. Those who saw the light from this standpoint supposed it was at Ligonier.

IN a recent interview Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks expressed himself emphatically in favor of remonetization of silver and repeal of ‘the resumption act. This afforded the New York agent of the Rothschilds, Mr. August Belmont, a pretext for accusing Mr. Hendricks of inconsistency. Belmont resorted to garbling Mr. Hendricks' public declarations in a manner not at all creditable to a man ‘of his pretensions. Mr. H. takes pains to demonstrate the falsity of Belmont’s accusation and makes an admirable showing of his steadfast advocacy of a just financial.policy ad of the expediency of silver coinage.

The town ordinance, we un'd_erstand:, is now and then enforced ; and the effect which it has upon those that have violated it is extremely touching. . The people of this place have filled their ice houses chuck full with clear and solid ice from four fo five inches’ thick. I think there will be thicker ice to be had during the winter, but the first chance is usually the best. - The sounds of the.sleigh bells,aré’ heard in all quarters, and are very welcome sounds to the ears of the young ladies and gentlemen of this viciuity. All that is dissatisfactery about it is that sléighing is decreasing’ so rapidly that they will not get mang’ rides. G el

On last Friday afternoen a lond noise was heard upon the streets which consisted of laughing and hollowing, and on procuring a place where the street could be seen, lo! a few of tho young men of the town were havinga regular chafge with snow balls.

Some people say when it looks upon its shadow it will scare and run back into its burrow, and will not return for six weeks.— Others think it saw its shadow and imagined a mate and will stay out and have a ramble. This is to certify that pleasant weather is now at hahd. A “Catholic Fair” will be held in the new church, commencing on the 25th and continuing to the end of the month. It will doubtless be a grand affair. Come, take'a ticket: the price is only fifty cents, and you may chance to draw a cow. It is seldom that fifty cent enws are to be had.

On-last Saturday night Mr. Grove, the night operator, went to Michigan to see his mother. He is expected to be back in a week or ten days, and will again mind the dots and dashes.

The nation has established the fact that “100 cents equal $1"" in the year 1776..

THE New Albany Ledger-Standard has of late devoted a great deal of its valuable space to enlightening the Democracy .of Indiana what to resolve and what not to resolve on the finance question. It has been “chuck full” of fatherly advice, caution, and admonition. It and one other solitary contemporary were to be. regarded the only true apostles of the true faith.— Now beheld the result of all its herculean labors. The Democracy of Floyd. county, wherein the L.-8. is published, met last Saturday and resolved just as though they didn’t care a '¢ontinental d — what the L.-8. had been preaching and teaching., They demand repeal of the resumption act, remonetization of silver, payment of bonds in lawful money, abolition of banks of issue, &c., &c.

A am—— TN R REPORTED BY N. TEAL, M. D., SEC’Y. - Stated meeting Jan. 20th, 1878; convened in the office of D. C. Vancamp, Esq., at 1 o'clockp. . Dr. E W. “Knei)per, President, in the chair. - : Eleven members and a number of visitors and patients were present. The annual election of officers took place with the following result: Dr. W. Y. Leonard, of Albion, President; Dr. P. W. Crum, of Ligobier, VicePresident; Dr. N. Teal, Secretary and Treasurer, and Drs. C. Palmiter, J, W. Hayes and J. L. Gilbert, Censors. | - Committee on poor asked and were granted further time to report. Drs. Lemmon and Teal, by request of society, each reported, verbally, a case of knee-joint injury, with treatment. General discussion upon these ensued. All agreed that absolute rest of the joint is the paramount indication in such ecases, and that perfect drainage of the joint in case of suppuration was very essential. Dr.Latta maintained that “fixation” of the joint, together with free opening of the same and of all abcesses arising therefrom, would almost invariably contribute to the restoration of ease and quite, even in the cases of extreme idebil'ity, ete. In this he was joined by - nearly or quite all-the opinions ex- ’ pressed. S

Dr. Latta then presented a case of epilepsy, supposed to have resulted from an injury made by a stroke of a ball-club-upon the side of the head of the sufferer, about a year and a half ago. This patient has been under treatment from several practitioners of medicine as well -as a number of pretenders, thelattei‘)quacks, invariably promising to cure for a certain big sum of money, part down and payments from time to time as the treat‘ment (mistreatment) progressed. The public ought to be aware by this time that epilepsy or “fits,” as such cases are usually denominated, can not be cured by the nostrums of ‘traveling ‘quacks. The opinion of the assembly of doctors in regard te Dr. Latta’s case were that the injury inflicted by the ball-club nhad produced, or at least resulted, in injury to the skull - which ‘in turn by pressing upon the brain is the real cause of the epilepsy.)_ The use of medicine in the case was utterly discountenanced, and an operation for the removal of the offending bone was the only ‘means suggested as at all likely to afford any relief, The operation will probably be undertakensoon, -. A- general diseussion upon obstetrics:was then had. The next meeting of the Society was fixed to be held at Brimfield, on the last Tuesday in April next. A vote of thanks was ‘tendered Mr. Vancamp, for the use of his office. . The meeting now adjourned tomeet again in the evening at the office of Dr. Knepper. < . A short evening session was had, after which the Society adjourned to ‘meet as above stated. bt

~ Honor to Whom Honor is Dne. Says the South Bend 7'7ibune: . “Secretary Schurz is the right man in the right place. Having reason to believe that there were some abuses’ connected with the Freedman’s hospital, and the commission appointed by him to inquire into the subject not making satisfactory headway, he took an officer along to administer oaths: and drove out there himself. The chief officers were absent, and the Secretary went through the hospital, tak-ing-the attested statement of the subordinates, thereby gaining just the information wanted first-hand. TFor a mere ‘‘theorist,” as Mr. Schurz’s enemies are fond of calling him, it must be admitted that the Secretary of the interior is not so slow. The course pursued by him in this case, if taken by aunother, would be called the hight of practicability.” P iy The T'ribune’s judgment, it will be seen, is greatly at variance with that of the assinego who presides over that apology of a newspaper down at Millersburg. i

: Let Fraud be Punished. South Bend Tribuné (Rep:)

On the other hand it is asserted that members of the Returning Board profess that their prosecution is in violation of an agreement that former political officials should be exempt from molestation.. We have no sympathy with the keeping of any such compact, if it was ever made. If any Republican in I.ouisiana or elsewhere has-transgressed the law either in the furtherance of his private ends or through party zeal, he should be promptly punished. We don’t believe that fraud, whether Republican or Democratic, is any less hateful because’ perpetrated in the interests of party,and we hope to see it punished whenever and wherever unearthed.— In the case of the Louisiana board, they may be made to suffer unjustly, but if they are unfairly tried the fact. cannot be disguised, and the verdict of the country on such an'outraLewill ‘make the persecution one of the most disastrous moves ever made by the: Democracy for political effect.

Severe Storm in the East.

The storm of Thursday on the New York and New Jersey coasts was one of unexampled disaster. At several of the famous summer resorts the sea swept in in tidal waves and carried away bath and summer houses and other outside structures, damaged the hotels, destroyed roadways, and made havoc generally. Af Coney Island, two families, comprising the mothers and children and a nurse, were carried away and drowned; the men of the families were away at the time and so escaped the fearful fate of their wives and children. At other points ‘on the coast vessels were wrecked, one of them sinking with all on board. Traing were blocked by the snow 'and disasters succeeded disasters by land and sea, The fury of the storm is reported as being without precedent, : e

, The Térms of Peace. i ~ Terms of peace have been ’agreed] upon between Russia and Turkey.— They embody the claims upon Turkey by the conference at Constantinople a year ago, together with indemnity for thé sacrifices Russia has made for waging the war, which is £20,000,000, or $100,000,000. The basis is as foilaws: 1 The autonomy of Bulgaria. 2. A reformed administration for Bosnia and Herzegovinia, with a Christian Governor. 3. Security for the better. government of the other Turkish provinces. 4. The independence of Roumania and Servia. 5. The extension of the territory. of Montenegro, including the seaport of Antivari, on the Adriatic. 6. The cession to Russia of a part of Bessarabia. 7. The. annexation of a part of Arwenia. 8. Indemnity for the expenses of the war. 9. The opening of the Dardanelles to Russian vessels of war. LATER—The state of affairs in Europe continues to be critical, The invitation of Austria for a conference of the Great Powers at Vienna, to consider Russia’s proposed terms with Turkey, has been aecepted by Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy; but Russia rejects the proposition to hold the conference in Vienna, prefer‘ing that it should be held in some small town, out of the way of political excitement or local influences. Tur'key has been invited to send repregsentatives to the conference. Each of the Powers is to be entitled to two ;epr'esentatives, and the time of the meeting of the conference, although mnot definitely fixed as yet; will probably be within a month.

Over 100 People Murdered. The results of the disaster to the steamship Metropolis, last Thursday morning, on Currituck beech, North Carolina, indieate that 158 passengers. ‘were saved and 102 lost, the bodies of the latter dotting the beech for miles, and each one a verdict of guilty of murder against the managers of the enterprise and against the Government of the United States of America, and if the Recording Angel above does His duty, He will make that verdict of record. : The facts of the matter seem -to ke that the steamer was chartered for a voyage to DBrazil; that her burthen was 879 tons; that she took on board 500 tons railroad iron, 250 tons of coal, a large quantity of lumber, the supplies necessaty for her long trip, and passengérs and crew to the number of 260; and thatjin less than twen-ty-four hours after leaving Philadelphia the craft had sprung aleak which could not be stopped ; and that in less than forty-eight hours after her setting sail not a plank of the vessel was visible, and over one hundred lives had paid the penalty of their confidence in man; and the supervising care of their government. !

The Vote on the Silver Resolution in . | the House, ' A review of the vote in the House on the Matthews resolution is significant of the sectional feeling in the strife over the money issue. The New England States gave only one vote for and twenty-six against. New York gaye three for and twenty-five against. Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, five States that were called consecutively, gave seven-ty-six votes for the resolution, and two against it, these two being Garfield, of Ohio, and Cole, of Missouri.— Hamilton, of Indiana; Eden, of Illinois; and Bland,” of Missouri, were absent sick, these being the only members from their respective States not recorded. Pennsylvania gave a majority of five for the resolution out of her total vote of twenty-three. Ths South and South-west, as well as the North-west were almost unanimous for ¥he resolution, enly fourteen votes being cast against the resolution, outside of New England, New York, New' Jersey and Pennsylvania.

" Where is Judge Lynch 2 it - Adam Bartholomew, of Northampton, Pa., aged 86, desired a justice of the peace to marry him to Bartholomew’s hiréd girl, Eliza ‘Ann Spangler, aged 18, while the funeral of Mrs. Bartholomew was still in progress.’ The request was refused,and the pair, who had long before been criminally intimate, continued to live together as man and wife. Last week the old man gave the girl a claim worth $5,500, and she then undertook to drive from the house the daughter of Bartholomew. Failing in‘this she gave the daughter a cup of tea, which produced death in a few hours.

Vegetine was strongly recommended to me by a friend who had been much benefitted by its use.

I feel quite confident that there is mno medicine superior to it for those complaints for whf'ch it is especially prepared, and wonld cheer= fully recommend it to those-who' feel ‘hat they need something to restore them to %erfec,t health.
