SENATOR VoORHEES found it impossible to attend the Indianapolis convention yesterday. He is hard at work on the repeal of the resumption act. g

THE N. Y. World’s Washington cor-,-respondent mournfully’ concedes the ‘inevitable repeal of the resumption act/ by the sam.e votes that passed the silyer bill. ~ S

“IN sPITE of the awful cry that went up from Wall Street about the passage of the silver bill, gold came down and bonds went up in price, as soon as the vote became known, ’

'EASTERN papers are surprised that U. 8. securities advance instead of decline "after the passage of the silver bill. This country has still more surprise for some of those fellow.

A pispArcn from Rome dated yesterday says that Cardinal Giouclino Pecci, Pontifical Camerlengo, has been elected Tope.! He is an Italian, and assumes the title of Pope Leo XIII.

Tue silver bill having passed the Senate by a two-thirds vote, Senator Voorhees gave notice on Monday that the repeal of the resumption act would be néxt in order. -

Tue Indiana Democracy spoke in no,uncertain language yesterday. The demand for justice te the people is forcibly expressed, and the convention meant exactly what is said on that subject. - v :

DoN'T FORGET that the St. Louis convention which nominated Tilden incorporated a plank into its platform demanding the repeal of the resumption act. The Democracy is therefore pledged to the repeal of that ill-advis-ed enactment. -

4 THE FAcT should not be overlooked that not a solitary Democrat voted for ‘the Sherman resumption act. That measure was the result of a republican caucus and was pasged without ~ affording an opportunity for amend.ment or discussion, : LR S e o

ALTHOUGH he wag spedker of the House at the time, even M, Blaine didn’t know that silver had been demonetized. e says that he did not know anything at all about the bill. Other members of the same Congress confess an equal ignorance. They heard the bill read at the time and voted on it, but now they say they had no idea of what they were doing, What/an interesting ecommentary this is upon the way business is sometimes done in this country. i

. THROUGH Bismarck’s influenee the. danger of an immediate collision. be-' -tween Russia and England at Constantinople 'has passed off; and through the same influence the dispute between Austria and Russia has been put in a fair way of settlement. Both the Czar and Emperor of Austria asked for Bismarck’s'good oflices. So the Rus- -~ sian. armys near the Turkish capitol refrained from entering the city, and the British fleet retired from the advanced position taken, and ‘the Rus“sian plan for the reconstruction of Turkey is left to the conference. - —— - B —— . PASSAGE OF THE SILVER BILL. ~ The silver bill,'in an amended form, has finally passed the Senate, and is now before the House for further con_‘sideration. “The Bland bill as it first passed the House favored unlimited coinage,but the Senate has amended by striking out that clause and restricting . the coinageto a minimum of $2,000,000, ‘'and a maximum of $4,000,000 month- . ly. Though the amendments by the Senate are not; what the friends of the bill hoped for, it'is nevertheless important that a concert of action be . maintained 8o that in case the President shonld supervene with his veto, _ the bill may be passed by a two-thirds " vote, nd thus become a law. ' It.is - thought by a few who previously voted for unlimited coinage, that the bill as . passed by theSenate will give them all ‘the coinage they would' want and all - they eorﬁd get for‘”the‘ﬁgmm'wnhout a free coinage provision. 1t is the de- ~ pire of the friends of the bill to so “harmonize their efforts that a bill may ~ultimately pass in a form that Sher- ~ ‘man eannot operate on. ‘The bill as - now before the House no doubt con- | WW‘MWQ /ideas of what i, fianae “ ,{&«wzﬁm * %m Wﬁ" ﬁ:‘?" allow’ e S TR o o our inalviauat desires o .supeorvene f qﬁ’h&%‘ﬁ*ﬁ){&“fly%’ﬂhfgﬁm% ]

Stoll, reported the following resolutions which were adopted amidst the wildest enthusiasm: e ' The democracy of the State of Indiana assembled in delegate convention declare: L i : That the national bank notes shall be retired, and in liea thereof *there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes withfull legal tender quality. : That we are in fayor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debfs, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contract un‘der which they were issued, expressly payable in coin. . :

That the right toissue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may, from time to time, require. We are in favor of such legislation by Congress as will authorize the taxation by the States of United States notes in common with all other money. . T :

"That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the *means of home: syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the frue policy of the government and the best interests of the people would be subserved by legislating so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States. o

That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. “ A We demand the réstoration of the silver - dollar, of 41214 grains, to the coin of the country,:and with full legal tender guality in the payment of all debts, both public and private; and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms: and conditions as may be provided.for the coinage of gold. That we are in faver of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. : We are in favor of the most rigid economy. in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of-the bankrupt act. e That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collisions between labor: and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order and security we believe that the wages of employes. of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of gaid corporaftions, and that said lien should be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legislation.

We hold it up as the monster crime of the age,’a crime against freé government, a crime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have outraged. And we denounce the act of the President of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the ‘returning boards, and condemn the 'acts of lederal officers in attempting “to.interfere with the rights and powers of the State courts in the prosecution of these criminals.

- That our Senators.and Representatives in Congress‘be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.

. SENATOR JONES ON SILVER. The ablest and most clinctiing argument yet made in Congress was that of Senator Jones, of Nevada, one day last week, which evoked the warmest congratulations from friends and foes alike; Fresh facts and new similes were abundanf, notwithstanding the general impression that the topic had been worn threadbare. i ~ The first declaration of the Senator was that since 1873 both gold and silver have gained in purchasing power, and that the latter seems to have fallen in value because it has not risen to 80 great an extent as gold. Yet, it takes alarger amount of labor or property to acquire a siver dollar of 41214 grains than at the period of demonetization. : While we have been threatened with an overwhelming by the refuse stock of silver held by other nations, the Senator held that the source of the flood eannot be found. The Comstock lode has yielded less than $200,000,000 in twenty years. el R The rise since 1872 in the price: of &old has contributed powerfully to-the business prostration evernglere prevailing. Land and labor immeasurably overshadow in magnitudq the aggregate.of mere merchandise in existence at any time. A considerable fall in either, declared Senator Jones, has never failed “tobe ruinous to every: commercial and industrial interest.— Prices throughout the Union have been struck down by ruinous legislation, and the restoration of silver will tend to check the bankruptcy impending over all. - E ‘Disclaiming any personal interest in silver mines, the speaker claimed for his constituents rights as sacred as those of the national creditor, saying that to the impartial judgment of the American people the miners submit thegir comparative equity. ‘

SENATOR M’DONALD ALL RIGHT. Senator McDonald made a speech on the silver question inthe Senate ‘on Tuesday of last week, “which for perspicuity, pith and logical reasoning,” the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel says, “is equal, if not superior, to any speech delivered on either side of that question.” He advecated the immediate remonetization of the silver dollar, but says he is opposed to the free coinage feature of the Bland bill, but that he will vote for the bill as it came from the House, if the majority should determine for free coinage.— He declarés that the legislation for the last ten years has all been in the interest of the bond-holder and against the laborer. Heshows that while the dollar has been made the unit of value, we have now no coin representative of that unit. He demands that the dollar paid in wages to the laboring man shall’ be the same in every respect to that received by the mer- ] chant, bond-holder and banker. The speech is full of original and practical suggestions, nothwithstanding the ex‘haustive arguments that had preceeded. Senator McDonald has achieved a‘national reputation as a cautious and clear-headed statesman, and this speech will in no wise detract from it. Indiana has two of the best representatives in the Senate chamber, and she may well feel proud of them. PROSPECT OF PEACE 1N EUROPE, Peace negotiations arestill progressing in the East. The English fleet has backed water and disappeared from the Turkish capitol. Much speculation is rife as to the cause of thismoye--ment, but the most probable cause is in the break down of the British mninistry. Bismarck appears on the field with an olive branch, but the attitude of Germany remains a secret. Propositions have been made at the Russian capitol for the' United States to participate in the general Congress. Eng‘land seems willing,but asks thatGreecemay be permitted to take part also.— It is stated that Russia has suggested to the Porte the desirability of remoying the Mussulman population from. _Tme Currency Committee of the mmofwmmgfﬁwﬁ o 4 fo ropoth the Buckucr Ll srerids of oreenhaoka in thair ataad Tha | in 4 per o ﬁ&&%%@ﬁé% et e e PR

Pursuant to previous notice given: given in THe BANNER, the Silverites. and Greenbackers assamblod at the Baptist Chureb, in Rome City, on Saturday evening, Teb. Toth, Sor the pur.pose of organization and hearing addresses, as heretofore announced. The meeting iwas’ organized by electing J. C. Geisendorff, President; J. D, Kerr and David Law, Esq,, Vice-Presidents; J: P. Chapman and M. F, Owen, Secretaries.- W. W. Skillen, E: H. Fisher, Dr. John T. Fiteh, H. G.Cobbs and Jackson Vincent were appointed a comniittee to draft resofutious expressive of the sentiments of the meeting. J. B. Stoll, editor of THE BANNER, wag then introduced by the President, and in a powerful and convineing speech held the audience spell-bound for one hour and twenty minutes. Our space. will not permit us to give a synopsis of the speech. Saffice to say that from first to last his speech was saluted with vociferous cheering and greetings of applause. Judge S. Wildman, of Kendallville, was then called, and came forward, and in a five minute speech made some very appropriate remarks, but being in il health excused himself and promiised to give a more extended speech at some future time. J.R.Rheabottom, editor of the Wolcottville GQazetie, was then called and responded in a short pithy speeeh in which he referred to. his former persecutions for advocating the doctrine which is now beceming s 0 popular, and advocated by all. Mr. R. expects in future to devote considerable attention to public 'speaking and we have no doubt that he will make it a complete success. At the close of the speech a loud call was made for & new song, (composed by the writer especially for the occasion), which was sung with spirit by the Glee Club, the entire audience joining in the chorus. : , GREENBACK SONG.

They camé forward and by their chairman reported the following ™ LR RESOLTVPIONS ‘ Resolved, That we demand a. restoration of the silver dollar exactly as ‘it stood before it was demonetized by the act of February, 1873, and that 1t shall have unlimited coinage, and that it shall be made a full legal tender with -which to:pay all debts, public and private, as it was during 81 years of American higstory. : " Resolved, That we demand the unconditional repeal of the resumption act of January 14, 1875, compelling a resumption: of specie payments in January,lB79,believing that a return to - a specie basis for our currency should be controlled entirely by the business interests of the country. : Resolved, That we demand that the national banking system be abolished and a circulating medium provided by the Government for the people without taxing them for the privilege of obtaining it, and we ask that the amount so placed in~circulation shall be sufficient for the demand of trade. 'Resolved, That we demand that the currency cireulated on the authority of the Government should be made a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, including all dues to the government. : ae Resolved, That we will hereafter support no man. for any office from President down to road master who is not in aceord with the above sentiments. i e

Resolved,; That these resolutions be published in THE NATIONAL BANNER, Wolcottville Gazeétie, Albion New Era, LaGrange Register, Indianapolis Sun, and a request that all other papers throughotit the State which ghdorse these sentiments publish the same,and that 'a.copy thereof besent to our Representative in Congress, Hon. J. H. Baker: s

-As the above resolutions were read, each one was received with applause, and upon<amotion they were adopted without a discenting voice. Upon motion to adjourn Capt. Fisher arose and proposed to give three cheers for the silver greenback cause,which met with such 2 respouse as made the welkin ring. Thereupon the meeting adjournod. It is propet to say that this was ~one of the largest and most enfhusias!l tic meetings ever held in. Rome City. I The house was filled to'a perfect jam -and all felt that it was good for them ‘to be there. - Brimfield contributed ‘liberally to the dize and interest of the meeting. ~ Old party ties were buried iout of sighit,and there seemed to be but one object.in view and that is the restoration of prosperity to the coun- - . Wehave ocoupied so much space in ‘reporting the above meeting that we gannot reasonably ask a continuance. - Will only say the great bear dance’ex“hibited inzl‘_zomg;aat week.

_ Capt. Ede Fisher has been appointed by the State Central Committee as a delegate to represent the Thirteenth Congressional District in the Greenback convention to be held in the city of Toledo on the 22d inst. He will probably attend. e < We would be very much pleased to make the acquaintance of “New Leaf” and others, and have a general meeting in THE BANNER office, but the time he sets will come too soon to suit us.

- .We heartily say,“Amen!” .to “New Leaf’s” proposition to meet the “num‘erous correspondents” at Tie BANNER oflice, at some day not far in the fature. It’s all right, boys, and we seldom object to company, yet wecan ‘hardly condescend togo in on a level with “Trash,” even though we be entering the “editor’s sanctum.” No offense, ye “Trash.” Though your name be not handsome, your “phiz” may be beautiful to lpok upon. s ' The U.

Wanted—A few more teachers. Not that our teachérs are deficient, but they are too few. We have enough afid the right kind to teach our children, but it’s sad to see how the education of our cows has been neglected. Our marshal has done his duty. He has posted a town ordinance, forbidding the cowstoloaf on the streets, ‘but the poor unfortunates can not read it, and still clammer about as usual. ‘'We have always been in sympathy with our cows, and think it very.mean to take advantage of their ignorance. |

Wouldn’t about. the 9th of March be a pretty good time for the meeting at THE BANNER office? All speak at once. _

About Evangelizing.

'MR. EpiTor:~l am glad that you found room in your most excellent paper for the publishing of an epitome of the sermon delivered by Rev. A. E. Mahin, at Ligonier, on the 3d of February. Inmy humble opinion it is quite a readable piece of literature, containing much yaluable information relative to the vast extent of our domain, and the present and prospectiﬁre greatness of our population, from all of which he has drawn some very impressive and logical conclusions, showing the importance of evangelizing this great and powerful country—awork in which all christians ought to be heartily and energetically engaged. DBut, while I find much in the sermon to admire and instruct, yet I fail to find or see the theme of his discourse suggested in the chapter and verse cited by him. ' It does seem to me that Deut. xxviii,l, instead of con{aining the idea or theme of evangelizing the United States of Americas and through it other nations, that it teaches the very reverse, and binds those to whom it was spoken to the land of promise, (or Canaan) and the | children of Israel only, for in the text above mentioned it 18 said: *“And it “ghall come to pass if thow (the Israe“lites) shalt hearken diligently unto “the voice of the Lord thy God, to ob“gerveé and do all his commandments “whieh I command thee this day, the “ Lord thy God will set thee on high “ above all nations of the earth.” And the Lord Jesus most certainly taught his twelve disciples the same thing’ when he gaid to them: “Go notinthe “way of the Gentiles, and any city of “the Samaritans enter ye not; but go “ye rather to the lost sheep of the “house oflsrael.”—Matthew x,5. Again if Deut. xxviii;l, contains the mission~ ary idea then this and other nations should be tanght to observe and do all the commandments that were that day commanded, which were the ten (ordecalogue). If we would entertaina reasonable hope of being set on high, one of these commandments—to-wit: the 4th,—which says: “Observe the "Sabbath day (seventh) o keep it holy,” o amddme %wﬁ“ﬁww«%‘ﬁrzg@é« 3 B P sbtaiag we & &3%2,& st ity ﬁf’ﬂ%*ﬂfﬁﬂw

Ll ; ) | ' R.E, Lr ‘Shall the.Courts be Bulldozed? John Sherman regards the conviction of Anderson as’a great outrage, under color of law, and as “an act of folly and madness”” Sherman took an active part as an abettor and accomplice in the erimes of the Returning Board. The conviction of Anderson means danger . to John Sherman; and it also burns the brand of fraud deeper into the brow of the de facto President. It attracts the attention of the people to the gravity of the erime by whichjthey were cheated ouf of their rightfully elected President, and to the fact'that while one of the participants in| the great fraud is on his way to the penitentiary, the beneficiary of the fraud sits in the chair of the Chief Magistrate. Even to Hayes, callous as he may have grown, such a situation must be almost intolerable, and in uttering these threats and denunciations Sherman no doubt gives expression to the thoughts and -feelings of his master as well as to his own fears. B But this attempt by a de facto Federal official to intimidate the courts of Louisiana will pe treated with the contempt it deserves. -

Anderson, the convicted member of the returning ?oa.-rd of Louisiana, was a Senator in the Legislature of that State for about twenty-eight years in unbroken Succession. -He was a Democratic Senator for some sixteen years before the war, and a Confederate Senator for four yearsduring the war, and then a Senator with democratic preclivities for the eight years that followed the vsgai‘. ‘While Henry Clay ‘Warmoth wag Governor of Louisiana, Anderson was one of that peculiar class of politicians known as “Warmoth Democrats.” Since that epoch he has calledvljimself a Republican. = Anderson was regardad as a lucky politician until he fell into the hands of the “visiting statesmen.” Their manipulations brought him to grief and toruin.

Supreme Court Decision. William Lash et. al. ys. Sarah Lash. Noble C. C. "Affirmed. Perkins, J. ~ Complaint for partition. Demurrer to the complaint sustained, and judgment for the defendant, . - . s The real estate of which partition was sought was held by tenancy by entireties by Philip Lash and Sarah his wife. Sarah obtained a divorce from Philip for his fault. Not long after Philip died. His heirg bring suit for partition. Sarah claims the whole under section-18 of the divorce act, which is as follows; =~ .~ - “A divorce granted for misconduct of the husband shall entitle the wife to the same rights, so far as real estate is concerned, that she wonld have been entitled to by his death.” = Held 1. The above section of the statute did not apply to land held by husband and wife by entireties. =~ - Held 2. That tenancy by entireties originated in the'idea that by marital unity the husband and wife were but one person, and that when that unity ~was dissevered by. a divorce the effect ‘was to divide the title of the real estate Dbetween the late husband and wife,.as tenants in common, and not to “vest the whole in the wife where the deed to them was in the ordinary form.

~ VEGETINE - SAFYE AND SURE. S Mz. H. R. STEVENS :— o : : In 1872 Sour Vegetine was recommended to me. and, yielding to the Xersuaaiqns ofa friend, 1 consented to try it.
