THE renowned editor and venerable poet of the N. Y. Post, William Cullen Bryant, died at his residence in New York City on Wednesday of last week.

QUITE a stir was created in railroad citcles a short time ago over the departure of Vanderbilt, the great railroad king, for Europe. It wassurmised that he went for the purpose of es.tablishing a'line of steamers in- connection with the New York Central. , e returned a few days ago, and it has turned out that he crossed the wide ocean in order to secure control of another of the great trunk lines centering in New York. The Atlantic ‘& Great Western and Michigan Central are now under his control. In this connection it may not be amiss to say that Jay Gould has control over all the roadsof any prominence west of Chicago, while Vanderbilt controls * a majority of those running east.’ Soon these two railroad magnates will own all of the roads, and then all will be ' monopoly.

THE INTEKNATIONAL SILVER COMMIS- . BION. ¥

Ever since the demonetization of silver in the United States, a great desire has manifested itself among “bi-~ metalists” to meet in International Congress for the purpose of coming to some general understanding upon.a question affecting all civilized nations alike. i

- Arrangements for such a Congress were finally made through the efforts of the friends of general silver remonetization, leaving however the appointment of the commissioners from” the United States to the pseudo President. That fask upon his part has been performed by appointing Reuben E. Fenton of New York, William S, Groesbeck of Ohio, and Francis A. Walker of Massachusetts, commission- ‘ ers to represenst the silver interests of ‘this country before the Congress of ali hations. It is a well known fact that Mr. Fenton is influenced and governed in his opinions‘qy the money power of Wall street, and hence no in‘dividual can Le in doubt as to his position in relation to the silver question.. Mr. Walker is an avowed mono-met-taliiqt,, and has written a work on money where in all his force is brought to bear to defeat the remonetization of silver. Mr. Groesbeck served on the late silver commission, and his experieqce makes him well qualified to act as a delegate in behalf of this country in said Congress. L It is a well established fact thatthe ‘pseudo President in making this nomination has acted in the interest of the gold Shylock, rather than lay aside his selfish and prejudiced opimions for justice and decency’s sake. The United States having inaugurated this moyement, and invited other nations to participate in a general communion, it looks like burlesquing the intentions of Congress to meet the delegates from all civilized nations in an International Congress with two enemies lo one friend. + , Is it possible that a project 'so laud_able in its purpose as that underlying the organization of an international ’silvcr commission, shall be rendered futile on the part of the United States by their pseudo President exercising the appointing power with which Congress ‘mistakingly clothed him? The silver commission is not a political movement from a partisan standpoint, and hence gold bugs who carenothing for the industrial classes should have been excluded as delegates from this government to the International Con--gress. | , :

The! movement which gaye us the hope of such a Congress having had its origin among the friends of general remonetization of silver, it was perfectly right to presume #hat all delegates to said Congress should have been the strongest and ablest men that could have been found among the bimetalists. Sendvor Jones, than whom there are none higher in authority upon the silver question, should have been by all means one of the delegates to said Congress. It was notdesigned to be a Congress in the interest of gold bullionists and Wall street Shylocks, but a Congress in the interest of honest money for the toiling millions. But alas, pseudoism when clothed with presidential powers knows no justice, no honesty, no laboring class. We look upon'the appointing of two Wall street bullionists by the President: as an implicit attempt to revenge himself upon Congress for its noble act in passing the silver bill over his veto by an overwhelming majority. e — JOHN 8, BENDER. 3 ‘As already stated in thes¢ columns, this gentleman is prominently mentioned in connection with the greeﬁlback nomination for Congress. As Mr. Bender is not extensively known to the people of this:part of the District, and desirous of turnishing the readers of THE BANNER, regardless of their political predilections, all information that may be of general interest, we herewith publish an extract from a letter written by Mr. Bender in reply to a-question whether ihe would be a candidate for Congress.’ On this subject Mr. Bender says: PrymouTn, IND., June 10, *7B. #* ¥ . % “Af our county greenback convention, held at this place last Saturday, the delegates to the green-. back congressional conyention were instructed to cast their votes in that convention for myself as a ecandidate for Congress. This courtesy was not sought by me nor particularly desired ; yet as the greenback issues are the only issues I could pledge myself to stand by in the next eampaign, and the greenback party the only party from which I would accept a nomination for any ' office; should it be the. sense of the convention to be held at Kendallville, on the 17th of July, to place my name more prominently before the people as the greenback candidate’ for Congress in the 13thDistrict, I' will accept. Not that I feel sanguine of success this fall, but feeling an interest in the success of. the greenback principles beyond that which I ever manifested in any other. party in most sanguine days, and therefore desiring to be placed simply where I can do the most good for the cause, I am willing to abide the determination of the greenback organization. I mean this, that I am willing to be placed in that position in which | I can do the most effective work between this and the great campaign of 1880, at which time I do anticipate a signal victory for the people.” - : The spirit of thisletter is indicative of a commendable desire and determination on the part of Mr. Bender to exert hjs influence and energy on behalf of the growth and prosperity of that political organization of the principles of which he proves himself a sincere and ardent advocate. While not greatly anticipating succesh in the race for congressional honors, yet he patriotically permits himself to be put before the people, hoping that, if defeated, ‘the principles of the party will develop and mature, and be made available for the greatcontest of 1880, | | According to & St Touis dispatch According t ﬁﬁ' Louis dispat m lave arrived there within the past fortnight have -igt;s . e grips and badges, but yet they | will not incite wwm igh | neis will sob revolation on eor.

ROME CITY ITEMS.

Greenback agitation has caused the remonetization of the old silver dollar. Greenback agitation has stopped the contraction of the currency.— Greenback agitation has caused the repeal of the resumption act in the House of Representatives, and it may yet be able to force it through the Senate. Greenback agitation has put the people to thinking and investigating, and is bringing about the greatest revolution in public sentiment known in- the history of our country. Let the agitation continue until our interest bearing debt is.stopped by the paying off of the bonds according to contract. Let the 5-203 be paid in greenbacks at once, then money will begin to circulate and prosperity return to our now impoverished and distracted country.

¢ The programme for the 4th of July is not yet fully complete. But we are ‘now prepared to announce this much: ‘The Lagrange Band will furnish the -music; Hon. J. B. Stoll, of Ligonier, will ‘deliver the oration; the celebration will take place on the island; the town will be suitably decorated with flags; there will be fire works in’ the ‘évening, (probably on “Gem” island); the officers of the day and committeds will be. appointed and announged heréafter; there will be dancing on the island; there will be dancing at the mineral springs; there will be dancing at the Lake Side House; there will be boat racing, in which the entire fleets of Owen & Swinehart will take part, assisted by the steamer W. 0. Hughart; there will be base ball playing, ete, ete. Excursion trains will be run from I't. Wayne and from Kalamazoo. Everybody is coming co Rome on that day and it is expected that it will be a tithe long to be remembered. : ;

The dance at the park on Wednesday evening last was a perfect suecess. About fifty numbers were sold and everything passed off peaceably and quietly. ' ~ The Editorial Convention on Thursday and Friday last was a very enjoyable affair.. The attendance was not very large, but considerable business of importance was transacted. Quite a good deal of fishing, boat riding, ete., ete., was indulged in. " The Knight Templar pic-nic on Friday was a time long to be remembered. The crowd was large and very respectable. Dancing, = boat-riding, croquet playing, etc., constituted the principal amusements of the day. | Perhaps the largest crowd that ever assembled in Rome on Sunday was here on Sunday last. There must have been at “least thres thousand persons in town. Two Universalist sermons were preached, and all erijoyed themselves hugely. : The earnings of the lake steamer on Sunday last amounted to $72.80.

The Lake Side ITouse on Sunday last fed 500 people and about 200 horses. The Mansion ITouse alse did well. . The editor of T BANNER orates here on the Fourth. We shall look for all thelocal ¢orrespondents to come and hear the boss speak. The Greenback Congressional Convention meets in Kendallville on the 18th of July. We move to have the county convention at the same time and place. What say you all ?

The water cure establishment has changed hands. Dr. €. Alonzo Wilson now has charge of 'the institution and is sailing in. , : Jake Kraner is doing a lively business. He is chuck full of business and fun. L

- Kendallville furnished a large delegation here on Sunday last. Capt. Iddings, C. O. Myers, M. M. Bowen, Reub. Miller, 8. Fish, Nelson Drake, and other noted characters were amongst those present. = -

The bills for the 4th of July» are to be furnished by the R.R. Co., and will be forthcoming soon. = "ALEXIS. -

Instead of dull, lifeless journals, Northern Indiana can now boast of a class of local journals not to be excelled in the country. What has contributed more to this result than the Northern Indiana Editorial Association?” The following named persons were duly elected to serve in the offices named for the following year: T.C.Mays, President ; Daniel McDonald, Ist VicePresident; C.

- Execution of Three Negroes, _GovLbsporo, N. C., June 14.—Noah | Cherry, Harris Atkgnson and Robert Thompson, the colored murderers of | the Worley family, were executed at 3P. M. to-day in the presence of 6,000 | people. They proclaimed their innocence to the last, and were very defiant and bitter towards the prosecuting attorneys. The necks of Cherry and Atkinson were broken by the fall, but Thompson died of strangulation. The crime for which they were executed was characterized by the utmost ferocity. The murder was committed on the 11th of February last. The victims were James' Worley, a young farmer, and Appy Jane Worley, his wife, who resided in Wayne county, a short distance from this place. The most positive evidence against the negroes was that of Jerry Cox, a mulatto, who swore that on the evening of the murder he met “Old Noah” Cherry about sunset a quarter of a mile from Worley’s. Cherry got his ax from a place where it was hidden, and they | walked together to the house. Near Worley’s house they were met by the two other men, who came from the opposite -direction.. The three went into the house. Cox, who remained : outside, soon after saw Worley running from the house, pursued by Cher- | ry aud/Thompson, who killed him by blows from an ax and a club. They They re-entered the house, and the three attacked Mrs. Worley, each bru--%Ly assaulting her. She escaped but overtaken by Cherry, knocked down by him, and. her head crushed with a bludgeon by Atkinson. For some days the erime was shrouded in ‘ mystery, till an investigation, set on foot by the colored population, ferret-: ed out the guilty men. Noah ’Cherf" was about fifty-five years old. ‘The other two weére young. men. They were convicted only a little over a month ago. -

L - D— e Claims Against the Government. (Laporte Argus.)

| Congressman Mouney, of Mississippi, has prepared a very importaat speech which will be read with great interest by the :whole country. He goes into an exhaustive examination of the Southern claims bug-bear and gives a tabular review of the appropriations asked for and the claims submitted by Representatives of the North. lis speech is regarded as simply unanswerable, as he shows by actual comparison that the claims from the North amount to about eight times more than the much talked of Southern claims. The demands from the Northern Congressmen amount, in the aggregate, to the enormous sum of $l,600,000,000. Mr. Money has done the country most exeellent service by showing this claims business up in its true light. Probably nine-tenths of these claims, both from the North and from the South, are the worst of frauds, and never will be allowed, but this exposition of the matter shows that the country has eight times :as much to fear from the North as it has from the South in-the matter of the robbery of the treasury by claims. The desire to get money out of the public treasury to help some.local improvement scheme, or in payment for some trumped up claim, is not confined to any particular locality of the country. i

Anderson Defended.

T'he Philadelphia North American (rep.) stands by its employe, Anderson. It says: Make no mistake in weighing the testimony of James E. Anderson. No man occupying a position of hondr and trust ever risks making himself the target for obloquy and vituperation for the pleasure of lying. His story is: not a pleasant. one, but rest assured it is true. Mr. Anderson’s testimony is confirmation of a prevalent belief that purity was a thing unknown in Louisiana politics. We do nos excuse any of the wrongs towhich he was a party; but their existence and his acquiescence are scarcely to be wondered at when we read of the atmosphere of evil by which he was surrounded. . :

) <0 B— Signs of Business Revival, (New York Siin.)

The great increase of advertising in the newspapers within the last few weeks is a very hopeful sign. It shows that business men are renewing their confidence and getting back their enterprise. The wise traders recognize the tact’that the times are not flush, that all people, Doth rich and poor, have learned the lesson of taking care of their pennies, und they fix their price to suit the prevailing sentiment. -Having so done, they take pains to let the public know of the bargains they have to offer, and hence the advertising columns of the newspapers are il .. :

- It is high time now for the radical organs to cease their foolish talk about “revolution,” and “Mexicanization.” The House of Representatives has declared—by a vote of 215 ayes to 21 nays —that it will not attempt any interference with Mr. IHayes’ title. In our opinion the declaration of the House was entirely superfluous and unnecessary. The investigation was not begun with a view to ousting Mr. Hayes. Its object was vo reveal to the world, in all their hideous enormity, the villainous crimes by which the great fraud of 1876 was carried out, with a view to the punishment of the criminals and the preyention of such iniquity in the future. It has already been demomnstrated, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the States of Florida and ILouisiana were honestly and fairly carried for Tilden; that their votes were falsified and counted for Hayes by a lot of unscrupulous villains who were4ncouraged to do so by the promiise of rewards made by leading Republicans and supposed to have been authorized by Hayes himself; and that theé constitution was openly and willfully violated in counting the vote of Louisiana for Hayes. This is enough to show the wisdom of the investigation. If Mr. Hayes has the hardihood to hold on to his office’ after these revelations let him do so. His abettors and accessories will be punished and he himself will feel the weight of public contemptiand odium. The wrong will be righted in’lBBo. ‘While we think that the action of the House in disclaiming any infention of interfering with Mr. Hayes’ title was superfluous, it may possibiy have one good effect; that of stopping the yells: of Mexicanization and revolution with which the radicals filled-the air. The scoundrels who stole the Presidency are now cornered. They can’t even talk revolution without being laughed at, and all they have to dois to face the music and take their medicine. They have made their bed; now let thema e init. . | RO

Ben Butler’s Yiews of Hayes’ Title. WASHINGTON, June 18.—Gen. Butler, as an individual member of the judiciary committee, to-day submitted at great length to the House of Representatives his reasons for dissenting from the resolution and report of the majority in regard to the inviolability of the President’s title. He thinks it remarkable that in the face of the sixth section of the act establishing the electoral commission the committee ‘should have come to the conclusion that the proceedings of the committee or of Congress subsequent thereto constitute an immovable finality when the law itself declares the contrary, and the contrary was emphatically assured by the House of Reprentatives. Instead of constituting a finality these proceedings were on their face, and in express terms, merely a temporary expediency or device to avoid the contingency of a lapsed election, for which the constitution had made no provisibn. Congress, he says, by tbe express words of the law, declared that ibs object and effect were provisional only. The President entered upon his office with express notice that his tenure was questioned in character, of doubtful validivy, not made absolute by the interposition of an extra constitutional commission, but to be examined and adjudicated upon % the courts. ITo agrees with the committee that Congress has no power, under the con-. stitution, to confer upon the Supreme Court of the United States the origi- | nal jurisdiction sQ;)xghb-' for it in the Blair-Kimmel bill, but he says: “The question at issue i§ whether the actual President of the United States has a just and legal title to the ofiice hg holds? A confestation upon that question, if it wers -possible to be had before a court, would make a ‘case’ which may well enough be defined to be a controversy between contending parties under the forms of law before Kopurh? . o R

THE DAWN OF PROSPERITY.

In the Opinion of the New York “Bulletin,” It Haus Broken Upon the Country—An Ap- " . preciation of Opportunities Alome = : Necessary to the. Returm of = | . Good Times. ; 3

NEw YoRK, June 14—The Daily Bulletin has an editorial to-morrow on business prospects; which, appearing in this conservative and thoughtful | journal, is of suggestive interest af this time. The Bulletin thinks the worst. effects of the commercial reaction have been realized. It believes we have at last reached solid rock, and the next thing in order is recovery. ‘We have reached a condition in which the foreign markets: act as a.breakwater against further depreciation and afford an important contribution towards the ‘recovery of business.. This period of maximum depression is really one of great opportunities. Our material interests are suffering to-day as: much from a want of perception that mow is the time to invest as they suffered from the over confidence and inflation that produced the panie. - The real-es-. tate market is full of bargains, The suspension of building for the last five years has produced: a comparative scarcity of houses.: Factory properties are purchasable at prices which would enable buyers to compete with the most successful manufacturers. There are thirty thousand miles of railroad property built in anticipationof the needs of the country, but since the construction of which six orseven millions Bave been added to our population. Most of this can be procured at 30 to 40 per cent. of its original cost. Rarely has any ¢ountry presented such an opportunity for profitable investment as is afforded by judicious selections from this great mass of bankrupt properties. The mercantile opportunities are also exceptional. Those who are first to comprehend. the present opportunities -and to put their long idle means into employment will hold the best chances for the future.

A sensible thing, if an honest and earnest one, has been done by the National Exeeutive Committee .of the Socialistic Labor, party, in sending out; a circular discouraging the formation of military organizations by its members, and requesting all now belonging to armed bands of Communists or Socialists to withdraw.—South Bend Registers: ' T

Bishop MeCoskrey, -of Michigan, will not attempt any defense of the serious.charge of immorality recently preferred against him, but will be compelled to step down and out. . The fact is, that ‘it is an exceedingly plain case, and he has no defense to make. He will now proceed to Europe and end his days in obscurity and disgrace.
