OCT. 24th, 1878, SEVERAL “National” members of the newly elected Legislature have assured Mr. Voorhees of their determination to vote for his re-election to the Senate. Lyt : — g+ i Tue BANNER has no fears of any underhaunded scheme of sufficient magnitude to defeat Dan Voorhees for U. 8. Senator. The voice of the people is mighty. ¥ ' i — el @ G e J ; . Tiic U. 8. Senate, after the 4th of next|‘March, will have a democratic majority of about 16. This mujority will be considerably increased by the elections to be held within the next two years. : el i ovt Tunose Nationals who decluned before the election that “the contest was Detween Williams, and Steil”— that “Baker was out of the guestion” —are probably a trifle wisex than they werg three weeks ago., a 3 e e e CoNGRESS Wwill meet oy the first Monday in December. No obstacles will be. laid in John Sherman’s way to try his i'esumpt,iuuselwme on thefirst day of ‘Janunary, anless Wall Street should make & eozner on gold. J. MApisoN WELLS ‘has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans and Nationals in the fourth Louisi-

ana @istrict. Theold scoundrel ought to be well satisfied that he is not in the penitentiary, and not aspire to be chosen a law-maker. 1

PROF. SMART, the democratic candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, runs about 1,600 votes ahead of his ticket. Itis a noteworthy fact that ever since the year 1870 democratic candidates for this office have invariably run ahead of their party vote. '

- THE tenor of the republican press of this State plainly indicates that their managers would be elated over some kind of an arrangement whereby Banker English could be élected U: S Senator instead of Dan W. Voorhees. Their motto is: *“Anything to beat Voorhees.”. /

THE Indianapolis Journal thinks, or professes to believe, that if Indiana gets the democratic candidate for President, the lucky individual will be Joe McDonald instead of Tom Hendricks, 'Fhe Journal is only trying to create a little jealousy between Tom and Joe. S

RESUMPTION of! specie payments' may put some gold into the hands of New York capitalists, but it will not expand the circulating medium, for as fast as gold is paid out, greenbacks take its place in the treasury. It is simply an exchange of one kind of money for another. T ’

THE coming winter ought to be largely devoted to a thorough and un-

prejudiced study of the flinance question. Farmers and laboring men especially should enlighten themselyes on that lall-important subject.. They will then be in position to pass an intelligent judgment when public speakers come around two years hence.

- QUITE a number of democratic papers in this State have already expressed a decided prt#‘erence for Mr. ‘Hendricks for the Presidency. Inasmuch as Indiana is morally certainto cast its vote for that gentleman in tlie next national democratic eonvention, there is not much necessity for penning lengthy editorials on that subject. T 5 :

THE friends of Mr. W. H. Vennamon, defeated cindidate for Auditor of Elkhart county, complain that while Vennamon did all in his power to work up a republican majority in that county, he' was basely betrayed by leading men in the ranks of his own party. Let Mr. Vennamon consult John H. Baker; perhaps that gentleman could a tfale unfold that would throw a little light on the subject.

‘MANTON MARBLE last week published in the New York Herald a sweeping denial of the charges connecting him with the cipher dispatches sent to and from the South during the Returning Board excitement in 1876. He affirms that he never, directly or indirectly, sought, or assented to any scheme, to purchase or secure for Tilden the State Canvassers’ certificate of the vote of Florida. -

‘THE Daviess County Democrat favors Hon. Andrew Humphreys for the Speakership of tiie House of Representatives of Indiana. “His experience 1n Congress and in the Legislature of this State,” says the Democrat, “has given him a'knowledge of parliamentary Jaw.

“Tuk Omrio IpEA,” it is claimed by some thoughtless persons, met with a rebyke at the Jate election, though the returns show a majority of 35,000 ~ against the Sherman policy. The . Cincinnati Znquirer sums up the sit--uation in Buckeyedom in these words: “We have a democratic Governor, two United States Senators—one for four yeurs, another for six. years from the 4th of March next.

- AMERICAN SERVANT-GIRLS. The managers of the N, Y. Worid have opened an “Employment Agen¢y,” the main object of which is to facilitate the procuring of suitable situations for those seeking employment and to obtain authentic information as to the character and qualifications of such applicants. In an article %xplanutory of the aim and scope of this Agencyi’ the Worldtouches upon. # subject that ig of importance to most fami'i2s throughout the land: “While hundreds, not to say thousands, of women competent to discharge the duties of the domestic are actually suffering for lack of employment in this city to-day, the demand for servants here is greater thaun the supply. The American woman profers what she calls ber independence. with hunger and c¢old, as a seamstress or a teacher, to the flesh-pots of Egpyt in gervice which she regards as menial. 'l'his is very largely a matter of traditien. Now, as a matter of fact, thers is probably no sort of labor oper Yo women which is so hig!xly remunerated or, on the whole, so likely %0 insutee ber comfort and respectability us domestic service with decent and well-bhred people. It is certain that during a period of shrinkage of values and general economy the only place where no reducnon of wages has been made i 8 in the basement of the average dwelling-house. The ser-vant-girl of the period still obtains the wages paid during war-time — wages which (leaving out of considerAtion her holidays) areactmally greas¢r than those paid to men for analogous work out of doors. She lives at service in this country, too, only fora season, haviug in her mind the prospeet of marriage and settlement in ner own house. There is evil as well as good in this. i It is 2 singular fact that mwost of our Americaun girls cherish a decidad aversion to household and Kitchen daties. 'They mwch prefer to be employed in some tactory, dressmaking establishment, book bindery, &c., though a position 4s domestic with some gbod, kindly disposed family must obviously be far preferabie if they could anly divest themselves of the silly notion that it is degrading to cook, wash dishes, sweep rooms and “make” beds. We freely concede that these girls are not wholly to blame for this aversion. Upon modern “soeiety” rests a goodly share of the responsibility. Shoddy aristocracy has done much toward creating the absurd idea that a girl making an honest living by hougehold work is not entitled to consideration or respect, and that she must thérefore be ostracised and shunned in society. So long as this false notion prevails to any considerable extent, it will be difficult to obviate the fallacies complained of. The parents of three or four stout, healthy and industriously-inclined girls will not feel disposed to urge their daughters to the acceptance of positions which modern society ﬁegards a 8 undignified and degrading. But let public sentiment demand for a good, hon-’ est, industrious, respectable domestic the same recognition now accorded to a seamstress, a dry goods clerk, or the average“school ma,.mi.’;’and we venture the assertion that the kitchen and family room will no longer be held in dread. ‘'We may then expect girls to develop seme ambition in excellingas cooks of palatable meals and in the general management of household atfairg, just as is the case with those aiming to acquire distinction as saleswomen, seamstresses, &c. In other words, letevery branch of industry be made respectable. And, pray, why not elevate the station of the American servant-giri that isso closely allied with .the happiness and comfort of 'the American household ?

THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF INDIANA. The . official vote of Indiana is at last announced. The total vote is 414,694, divided as follows: 2 J. G.

Senate till December 2d, 1879 (when the Forty-sixth Gongress convenes), but this is hardly probable, as the President generally convenes the Senate in executive session, while the present Congress may decide to provide for a new session of both Houses. There are 112 officerstof the Senate for 2 body of seventy-six Senators to 114 for the House, which comprises 292 members and twelve delegates—3o4 in all. This simply illustrates the extravagance of republican management. ‘The Democrats will undoubtedly reduce the Senate force one-third if not one-half and then - have quite an efficient organization.— No democratic Senator is true to his professions who does not readily and cheerfully vote for such reduction. Expenses must be cut down, !

AN ANGOLA 'correspondent is inclined to be somewhat severe in his comments on the political conduct of ex-Judge Joseph A. Woodhull. We afford “P.” an opportunity of giving vent to his opinions of the Steuben jurist, who, in the language of a mutual friend, “is a good Democrat, with “the exception that he does not en“dorse our platform and votes the re~ “publican ticket, aside from which his “Democracy can’t he disputed.”

THE meeting Of the General Assembly will take place under the constitupion, on Thursday succeeding the first Monday of January. Itssessions will be held in the Marion county courthouse.

OF WHAT IS THE COUNTRY MOST IN KENDALLVILLE, October 21. To the Editor of The Banner : i ' Isitgood policy to nominate candidates for the Presidency two years in advance? Are editors who indulge in that business not manworshipers? Readers without brains may like these flevices, but thinking men look with disgust ujpon such a course. S ’l‘{9 1s certainly some force in this pointed criticism, and THE BANNER has 1o hesitancy in making a candid acknpwledgment to that effect. The truth of the matter is this: While editars and jothgrs may have their preferences for the Presidency, the chief aim now ought to be to dissemi-: nate/ correct political principles and to educate the people in the school of sound political economy. THE BANNER|{ for one, promises to perform its part|in this laudable undertaking, by expdsing the fallacies of those who denjf the power of the government to contfrol the issue of a sound paper curremjy and who favor a diserimination ‘against silver in the cainage of Jhe preciiu;us metals. In doing this, THE BANNER will not be unmindful of the tact/that there are otuer species of vagarifps that need to be eradicated from the public mind, among which are the wild notions of such false teachers as Bridk Pomeroy and his communistic coadjutors. In brief, THE BANNER holds t,ha't; the following points should be ipsisted upon for the future policy of this country: i 1,/ The unlimited coinage of gold and si]vjbr. and the utmost encouragement t'he"euf. Also, the retirement and re‘coinage of ali non-legal tender silver dolllars. . e 2.5 The gradual retirement of national bank notes and the substitution of trezisurv notes iu lieu thereof. [The pasisage of the so-called Buckner bill wo,xixld safely accomplish this purpose.] 3 No further issue of bonds for resumption purposes. It should be the ain}f of the governmentito steadily deereqse the bonded debt instead of in‘crepsing the same. ¢ 4; It being probable that specie re- | sumption will be inaugurated on the first day of next January, the workin% of the law under which such resurnption is to be maintained, should be carefully and impartially watched. If lound to operate injuriously to the begt interests of the people, the act should be so revised and amended as to pliminate its objectionable features and make it conform to a prudent auél healthful system of finance. Under any and all circumstances should thé act be so changed as to incorporat? the provisions of the Fort bill, thus seeuring the permanency of the legal tender notes as part of the circulating medium of the country. - 5. A judicious revision of the tariif!so as to simplify the collection of reyvenue duties and to diminish the large number of officers unnecessarily retained in the revenue service.

. 8. The inauguration of a commerci:ﬁl policy that. would secure new markets for American products, agricultural and manufactured. To successfully accomplish this purpose, Céngress should create a commission or§ bureau, composed of three or more priactical business men of sufficient ca--pacity to devise ways and means for ﬁﬂlding a market for our productions in countries where food, clothing and implements might readily be exchanged for commodities that we now buy with coin.” :

!7 Abolition of all unnecessary offices, including internal revenue officérs’ not absolutely required for the supervision of distilleries and tobacco ware-houses. United States special taxes upon retail dealers in liquor and tobacco might as well be collected by oiﬁcers entrusted with the collection ok State and coun\ty taxes. |B. Abolition' of stamp duties on matches and other articles of necessiR : ;

' We might enumerate a number of vother things that ought to receive the thoughtful attention of the law-mak-ilhg power, but we regard the above as being of paramount importance and as being entitled to consideration ‘above all others. The duty directly devolving upon the people now is to master these points, become entirely famihiar with their merits, and be prepared to remove any angd all objections that may be urged in opposition thereto. 'Time devoted to the study eof these questions is time profitably employed. We entirely agree with “A.” that any considerable time or space /devoted to bolstering up this or that favorite for the Presidency nearly two years in advance is neither wise nor commendable. These favorites may die before 1880, or other men may come to the front who might possibly be better adapted t 6 the wants and requirements of the country than any of the distinguished gentlemen now named in connection with the nexs Presidency. In the beginning of the year 1880 it will be time enough to canvass the merits and claims of presidential aspirants, and every intelli‘gent voter ought then to be prepared to judge as to who would serve the ‘people best as chief executive of the nation. Man-worship, party idolatryg selfish scheming, and indifference to the real interests of people and cour: try have produced incalculable mischief in the past. Let us discard all these, and from now on devote our thoughts and studies wainly to questions affecting the happiness and prosperity of this great nation.

. FIrTY-NINE of the ninety-four counties of this State gave either democratic majarities or pluralities at the late election.

ALBION RUMMAGES.

Now, that the election is over, we again resume business quietly, with a clear conscience, knowing that we have done our duty as far as possible, and theesults are very satisfactory.

Circuit court’is in session. Duting' the past week a large number of judgments were taken by default and coufession. Several divorces granted.— Divorce cases went at the rate of six per half hour. That’s the way we do busiues3 here, vn a greenback platform. Next week the petit jury will be called, and several suits of some interest will be tried, or continued, among which is “The State of Indiana vs. J. W. Bixler.”

The Grand Jury was in session nearly five days, but what they accomplished will be known only in time. The commissioners convened in spacial session on the 14th, to hear the reports on several ditches located in the eastern part of the cOunt;y. We were rusticating in the country 4 week gathering apples, making cider and applebuiter, and it was just the same old thing that il use to be when mother made us staud over a hot fire drawing and pushing back and forth the old stirrer—the smoke always came directly toward us, when we would suddenly - remember the uase-giving adage, “smoke follow ——,” and go on with the work in gentle meekness, even trying to forget our bad thoughts. Phil. Carr, the popular auctioneer, was again awakening our townsmen on last IFriday. Phil. is a success. Prickett, of the New Era,at last has found courage to acknowledge what hs has long been preaching, viz: republicanism.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP SQUIBS.

The late frosts had quite a tendency toward promoting better health in this locality. Late reports from Adams county, Ind., say sickness is so prevalent there that there are scarcely enough well persons to take care of the sick. We, are sorry to note so much contention in some of the rural school meetings. This is entirely out of place, gentlemen, for, the school meeting should be as a family meeting, where nothing but peace aud harmony should dwell. - Not until this envious strife is done away with at the school meeting, will our schools be made a success. - No- difference how hard the teacher may work to do justice to the patrons and himself, he cannot accomplish it with one-half the district against him. - We note the time for church revivals is near at hand, by frequently hearing people, while at work, humming over those. good old church songs. : ; : “Oh’‘dear me! Ido wish our school would commence, so/I could get rid of those troublesome brats, then I will get some rest.”, Correct; send them to school because they are noisy, “but look here, teacher, you have no need of pounding my children, for I know they are bad.” -So. A patron told us the other day, while conversing about school affairs. “they needed some one to teach their school that would jerk the g-—d d--n hair off of their heads.” Well, now, if that person has pupils to ’tend, we don’t doubt his word in the least.—— However, we will try ’em. D. S. Hart sold, last week, a lot of cattle, consisting of nine three-year-olds, for which he realized the snug sum of $350. He has fifteen two-year-olds, which he intends to winter over, that will by next fall far exceed those sold.. Smith is one of our largest stock farmers, and takes delight in raising stock. It would be quite beneficial for some of our farmers to follow his example, bonsidering the advantage they have of marsh, well supplied with running water. Who was it that caused the editor of the New Era to “flop” over to the republican party? We accuse the “Banner boss,” and the editor of the south Bend Herald, of being the guilty ones. But it is strange how an old hen will do when wanting to sit, She will raise up, “flop” around, then “shust sit right down” where she always was. Strange, indeed. . ~ Sheriff Bagles and lady made this vicinity a flyiug visit last Saturday.— As we are a very civil peo_x‘)‘e here, Mr. Eagles says he has the least to do in Washington of any township in the county, which speaks.wel}' for our citizens.

He finds consolation in the fact that thousands of meritorious individuals have shred a like fate, that he resorted to no ‘dishonorable or underhanded schemes to secure an election, that he deceived or betrayed no one, that he did not sail under false colors, indulged in no _misrepresentations: of his political op‘ponents, used neither slang nor vituperation in his speeches, and, last but not least, fought his battles in defense of the sacred rights and the best interests of the people. 1

A Frecious det of pemocrats. ' ANGOLA, Ind., Oct. 21. Tothe Editor of The' Banner:

As before stated, nine alleged Democrats (bolters) in this town voted for John H. Baker for Congress. The leader of this coterie of political hermaphrodites is Joe Woodhull, who carries a big sore on the top of his head because the Democrats did not nominate him for Judge two years ago: Joe nominated a straight democratic ticket, beeause his “conscience” would not permit him {0 vote a fusion ticket. That same “conscience,” however, gracefully permitted him to sneer a$ democratic speakers, applaud the harangues of John Baker and Billy Williams, vote for a republican congressman, write articles for a republican newspaper, denounce the demncratie platform, curse Dan Voorhees, land the national banks to the skies, approve contraction, advocate the Sherman confiscation policy, appland the “clipping” of Mexican and Trade dollars, and run a republican side-show generally. Can’t some one be persuaded to award the modern Joseph a leather medal for his distinguished services in the late campaign ? P,

Tilden’s Retort Courteous. (Steubenville Gazette.)

President Tilden doesn’t talk much, but when he does take the trouble to put his views on paper he generally Bays something right to the point. We imagine the whole horde of Presidentstealers will more than ever feel their own degradation and worthlessness when reading the last effusion from that dignified but indignant man who was robbed of his own and then defamed by the villains who had wronged him. His cool and courteous, yet gcathing, letter is an excellent public document, and will go far toward raising the legally elected President in the estimation of honest men of all shades of political opinion.

Discarding Its Mask. (Goshen Democrat.) °

The Albion New Era has finally pulled down the flimsey pretense of “independence” behind which it has for the past three years vainly attempted to hide its natural and innate partizan predilections, and announces that it will hereafter openly labor as it has heretofore covertly labored for the success of the republican party. This action seems to us highly commendable, though a trifle late; but coming as it does upon the heels of political defeat, it cannot be ascribed to any but honest motives. :

The ¢Still Hunt” a Failure. [Warsaw Union.] .

The democratic party of Kosciusko county should not lose sight of the fact that if the party had been thoroughly organized that at least three candidates on the ticket would have been elected. More than enough Democrats remained at home on the day of the election to makea portion of our ticket successful. That we were defeated was owing entirely to lack of organization. Will we as a party profit by experience? is the question.

Ten Thousand Deaths. The Terrible Record of Death and Suffering From the Yellow Fever. e Facts and Figures of the Devastation Wrought by the Epld:mioin the South. ~* The welcome appearance of frost in the South is a sure sign that the yel-low-fever plague. from which the people in that part of the country haye been suffering during the past three months, will soon disappear. Though many of those now ill may swell the number of the dead, there are not likely to be many ngw cases, and the fever may be regar%g a 8 virtually at an end. This is therefore a good time to take a retrospective glance at the history and effects of this fearful plague, and to cast up, as far as it can be done thus early, the work of death and desolation it hus wrought. The facts and figures given are taken from two sources, viz., the press despatehes and the reports of the Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital at Washington. Neither of the sources is infallible, but combined they will suffice to give, if not an accurate, at least an approximate estimate of the results of. the yellow fever. e ;

The yellow fever made its appearance this year about July 12, without taking into consideration a' few cases reported in the city of New York and Brooklyn in the early part of ‘the month among the sailors on board vessels coming from Matanza, Key West and Havana, where there is always more or less fever prevalent. A few cases were reported also on board the United States man-of-war Vermont in the Brooklyn navy-yard, which ‘were traced, however, to contagion from. the cargo of the bark Juanita Clara, of Havana. The first outbreak of the fever as an epidemic in the United States, however, was in New ‘Orleans about July 12, and spread rapidly in all directions, especially in Leuisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi. The following table furnishes an exhibis of the number of cases and deaths in the States where the scourge has left its desolating mark: s e .

This number is larger than that in any epidemic in the city since 1858, when there were 3,889 deaths. In the great epidemic of 1867 the deaths numbered only 3,093. Still this is by ne means the ‘worst year New Orleans has known, for in 1853 there were 7,970 deaths there from the fever. The plague this year has been of unusually long duration, . T i & Ml S Voluntary Payment of License Cannot Be Recovered Back. G 6,3000. Levi B."Colglazier vs. -the town of Salem. Washington C.C. Affirmed. B ! i Perkins, J.—Suit by appellant against appellee to recover back money paid by him to the town of Salem for a license to .retail liquors. The complaint alleges that ap?emant paid said amount “by reason of threats and menaces,” etc., made by the officers of said town. A demurrer to the com-~ plaint was sustained. This -ruling was not erroneous. (55 Ind., 14;.58 Ind., 143)) ‘ S The mode of enforcing the ordinances of municipal corporations is by suit for the penalties incurred by breaches thereof. (22 Ind. 192; 25 Ind,, 490; 34 Ind., 392;56 Ind., 305.) If the appellant failed to take out license and sold without license, he exposed himseif to asuit for the penalty, which suit he could have defended, ‘and in which he could have tested the validity of the ordinance. Such suit is what he was threatened with, and constituted theduress complained of, The payment was voluntary, though made under a mistaken idea of the law, and cannot be recovered back. Judgment affirmed. = = - ;

A Question That is Clearly in Order. ' (Richmond Whig.) _

~ There is one thing abont the ciphers which the 7'7ibune fails totexplain: Who got the returns, and how they got them. If the Democrats offered $50,000 or $lOO,OOO for a State, and somebody elee got it, the inference is pretty strong that somebody else bid more for it. That somebody else is easily designated, and if there were any doubt it would be removed by the appointment of the Returning Boards to lucrative Federal offices. =~
