The fall term of the Putnam Circuit Courf, just closed at Greencastle, will g down to history as an epoch in the progresk of jutisprudence. As a prosecuting witness againgt Charles Summers, charged wit beingian accessory in an extensive robbery appeared a -respectable old lady namec Saunders. Delana E. Williamson, the oldes practicing member of the Bar, was employe as counsel for the deiense, and in his speech for hik client abused the old lady repeatedly and with great vehemence, calling her ar old ‘“{lar.*” The jury returned a verdict o acquittal, but accompanying it they sent 4 s,econtil verdict against the attorney, as fol+lowg:| “We; the regular impaneled jury. being men that l%c decency and courtesy toward our fellowmen, do say that D, E‘ Williamson did, without any cause wlmt-i ever, call alady, Mrs. Saunders, u liar. W¢ do say| that we denounce all such conduct,} and respectfully suggest that he be reprimanded by the Court.” This is perhaps the first case in the United States where an attorngy was ‘‘found guilty?’ ‘and his client cleared. i | ~ Scott| Berger, a farmer living near’.

Never since the first settlement of the State has pasturage been so good at this season of the year asitis at present. It is even b‘et‘;tcr than ay any time during the spring and summer. Thesaving to farmers in the way of feed for stock will be immense, and shoulld the winter prove: to be a mild one, but very little hay Wiil be used. ;

Governpr Porter says he thinks the proposed town at the mouth.of the Calumet River will not work inuch damage>to Michigan City, and that it is his opinion that the fand is being bought as a speculation in the. hope that the Government will make a harbor at the imouth of that river.

Some two years ago the Ford Plate-Glass works at- Jeffersonville suddenly changed owners one night, and at the same time changed its name to the Jeffersonville Plate‘Glass works. .By this transfer the large stockholders wiped out the smaller ones, “who have How instituted proceedings to upset the whdle transaction. s . The Township Trustee of Indianapolis reports that an unusually large ‘number of sheep ha.veh‘)een killed in the pastsix weeks, and especially in the, southeastern district. Whei the new Dog law goes into effeet all dogs in the county, as well as in the city, that are not registered, will be shot. ~ The will 6f the late Samuel Shigley, of Clinton County, disposing of some $30,000, is cailed in question by two minor heirs who claimed to have been deprived of any share in their grandfather’s estate through the machinations of their aunts.

Some of the County Sheriffs in Indiana are said to have fallen ‘into the reprehensible practice of taking criminals to the State’s prison one at a time when several are on hand and might all be taken at the same time. < i % :

The coal ffields which abound in the southwestern corner of the State are being extensively worked. = _ The Bureau of Statistics has undertaken a novel plan of showing the various cereal statistics o(t the State. A small county map of the State has been prepared, and in each county dats are placed to ‘represent the ‘bushels or'tous of agricultural products. It is found that by letting each dot represent 10,000 bushels of wheat, a variation in the number will show by a physical demonstration the wheat regions of the State. Each map will be a distinet representation of each product, and they will be lithographed and placed alonfwith -the corresponding tablets in the reports of the Bureau. . At Evansville the other day twelve stables were burned, involying 4 losB of about §5,000.

EA matter of genuine ‘astonishmem’ 00~ #ured at Indianapolis the other day in ths jling of a petition for divorce by General J"red Kncifer, Pension Agent at that place, rom Zerelaa Kneifer, alleging incompati?flity of temper since 1873, The parties mmediately appeared in court by agreement., and the petition was granted, BMis.

A fine-looking: foreigper walked into a surgeon’s office at Dublin, a small town on the western side of Wayne County, a few days ago and uasked te have his shoulder examined. FHe said that he had jumped from a train and struck it against the ground. The surgeon found that the bones had been fractured, and sent him to the tavern to wtav while receiving treatment. While there the landlord walked into the water-closet one day and saw him- deliber--ately tearing up %100 bills and throwing them into the vault. He mumbled out a few words and walked hurriedly away. The next day he went to his room, and, taking a revolver from hixs valise, placed the muzzie in his mouth aud shot a bullet into his brain. A note addressed to his wife was picked up beside him, in which he said he wus not guiity of the ¢rime that had been chaiged against him. Papers on his person showed that hé had a brother named Jumes Trevillian in business in idaho Springs. Col. A telegram was sent to him - giving the particulars of the suicide. IHe arrived at Dul:-iin-and had the remains taken from the arave. He says-that Thomas Trevillian, his brother, was a saloon-keeper at the Springs, and owned property there valued at $15,000. When he leit Denver to 0 to Scotland; a fortnight before, to visit his family, he was sober aud in his right mind, and be knew of no reason for his mysterious eonduct. There had been no charges of any kind against hig character, and he was in gay spirits in anticipation of ' soon ée‘eing his wife’ and little ones. . £ =

-The Agricultural Wealth of Indiana. Indiana has an uarea of 33,809 square miles, or 21,687,700 acres. In the year 1880 there were devoted to the preduction of cereals 6.972,191 aeres, asdollows: : Production, Cereals. ' Acres.

[t may be interesting in this connection to introduce a few tigures out of the usual line of statistics. The value of the cereal products of Indiana at prices now current would be as follows: e Quantity, Cereals., <. Bushelx, Yalue.

In weight the cereal crops of Indiana for the year 1880 reached the sum total of 8,089,800,824 pounds. A car-load of grain is 80,000 pounds, consequently it would require 297,996 cars to transport the cereal products of Indiana in that year. A freight car is thirty-three feet in length; hence, if these products were loaded into freight cars, the train would be 1,866 miles long, extending from Indianapolis fo San Francisco. Still, Indiana is capable of doubling this enormous productiveness. There are thousands of acres vet to be brought under the dominion of the piow and reaper, old lands to be.vitalized by scientific farming, wet lands to be drained and brought into cultivation. 'l'his done, Indiana will contribute still more toward in- - creasing the surplus produets of the world. —lndiona State Sentinel. =~ = '~ oL

The Repubhican Sueceession, It is amusing tosee the Republican papers bringing endless strings of words together to explain why Mr. Blaine should not remain in the Cabinet without telling the real reason. They attempt to assure us that the President and Mr. Blaine are on the most affectionate terms;that Mr. Blaine can remain at ‘the head of the State Department if hee wants to; that the President has invited him to remain: that there is no necessary impediment to his resigning, and that if he should finally decide not to remain it will be for reasons entirely consistent with the most cordial good feeling between the Administration and himself.

This is all nonsense, and the Republican papers know it. Mr. Blaine goes out because he cannot remain. His re- ’ tention is a political impossibility, unless Mr. Blaine becomes something else than Mr. Blaine. lhe facts are too plain to be misconstrued. Mr. Blaine went into the Gartield Cabinet, as he ' has taken pains to let us know, with the purpose of shaping the snccession l —of using his personal and ofticial in- | fluence to secure the re-election of President Garield. This is what he told Mr. Garfield, and the letter in which he told him he has recentlly given to the public. How then | can he occupy a place ina new Ad- | ministration which everybody knows ! will be engaged in scheming to make somebody . else ~ the next | President? With what show of consistency cou'd he take part in a plan to “give the succession to General Grant,or Mr. Conkling, or Mr. Arthuyr, all of ‘whom were opponents, and twoof them .personal oppenents of President Garfield and himself? It cannot be said that he might remain in the Cabinet ‘ and have nothing to do with the Ad- | ministration’s Presidential scheming, | for between the President and his Sec- | retary of State there must exist the | most friendly relations. The Secretary I must know what his chief is about, and | must approve it.- : : | Whether Grant, Conkling or Arthur | is to be the recipient of the new Ad- | ministration’s favor and influence for | the succession we do.not know as yet, . but that it has its favorite and will ex- | ert all the intluence it can bring to bear ' to make him President, all observers of . politics know. And of this Mr. Blaine . and the other friends of the late Presif dent have no grounds to compiain, see- ' ing that'it is onlv an imitation of their . own example. * The Arthur Administration has as much right to labor to secure -the successjon for Arthur as the Gar- | field Administration had to direct it toward Garfield, but as Mr. Blaine is i; fresh from participation in one scheme | he can not be trusted to participate in ] the other, nor can he be allowed to re- - main in the Cabinet while mdneuvring | to secure the succession for himself.— ' St. Lowis Republican. i ] e B ; . " Mr. Tilden Speaks, | s | The great leader who redeemed New - York to honest government from the E Tweed thralldom and tocomplete Democratic control, and who led the Demo- ] cratic party to overwhelming victory in the country five years a%o, gas been compelled to speak in reply to several | letters from 'prominent Democrats in 3 New Yerk asking his advice as to their being candidates for oftice. 'The head | and heart of the venerable stateSman | are as clear and sound as ever,-as will | be seen by reading the following letter: 3 GRAYSTONE, October 6, 1881 .- My DEAR Sir: [ should have written to, . you earlier except for an illness and tbe pres- - sure of claimB upon my attention during my . convalescence. In respect to your assurance - that you would not be a candidate for nomina- ' tion if your nomination * would be disagreecable to me.’ I have to say that I cannot agstime any such position. I bave neither the right nor the wish to exclude you from a legitimate and honorable competition for any public trust. My practice when I was at the head of the party organization. was not- to become a - partisan of any particular ecandidate, but to i confine myselt to such advisory sucgestions x2S might seem fit and useful during the deliberations of , the Convention; to defer largely to -the judgment of the best men of the counties found at the Convention, in view of the immediate action on the complex considerations which enter into the formation of - a collective ticket. I need not say that | have not undertaken any such function on the present occasion, and have not possessed myseif of the information to make me competent .to [ such a work. I assume that you have not giv- - en credit to the idle fiction of Republican and other newspal)crs. which aseribes to me a de- | gire to control the nominations and canvass for the present year, with a view to becoming a etandidate for Governor next year. The truth is, 1 ran for Governor in 1573 simply for the purpose of sustaining the reform movement to which 1 had given the three preceeding years, and I should not have continued in the office for a second term in any possible event, nor would I now entertain the idea of returning to it, cven if I had Hattered myselt that I would receive a unanimous vote ¢f the people. Alll desire for the Democratic party -in the coming canvass is that it shall makethe best posasible choicz of candidates ana do everything to advance the principles of administration to which 1 have devoted so many ef- ' forts and sacrifices.”’ 2

The Negroes and the Republican Party.

There are symptoms at last of a real awakening of something like political life, in the Anglo-Saxon sense of that phrase, among the colored people of the United States, and these symptoms are not favorable to the continued success of the original “‘stalwart’’ plan of using the negro votes of the South in aid of the Republican party.as the Tory landlords. of Great Britain so long used the votes of their pocket boroughs. At a late meeting of the Good Templars in London the Rev. Dr. Tanner, editor of the Christian Recorder, the official orgfan of the African Methodist Episcopal Churches, declared that his people suffered mot in the South alone but throughout the United States-irom the ‘‘spirit of caste.”” He said he did not believe “‘that-of the 50,000,000 of peoplein America there was an unhappier class than the better educated of the colored race. * * * Nothing that they could do would admit them into society.”” KExactly the same spirit breathes through the recent official proclamation made by the organ of the colored ‘population that “the colored man i¢ not satisfied with his present status in the Republican party,” thas *‘while he is ca'le? upon to do his share of labor for the success of the party, when success is achieved, the fruits of victory = are disposed of - without consulting his .wishes or his .interests;”” that he ‘s _preparing himself for other affiliations and for more advantageous alliances,”. and that the first step in this direction is “the movement that recently gave the coup. ae grace to the Republican organization of Virginia.” ’l};;esse views cannot be called unreasonable. The Republican party has been eminently unjust to the freedmen at the South.

}{Du#'mg~ the era of reconstruction the -negroes were used to help the scala- }» \z%s and carpet-baggers to aceumulgte | fortunes, the scraps of the feast being ‘thrown to the least respectable and representative of the c%red men. ffl”&h&agwas done to educate the negro to qualidy him for the discharge of the ~duties suddenly thrust upon him, to ! enable him to hold his own in the competition with his white neighbors, and ‘to conquer their esteem and friend‘ship.. To teach him the advantages of thrift and forethought the RepubTicaus }x g:a?e him the Freedman’s Bank. When libq era of reconstruction closed, and ‘the South was lost as a source of pos:tive strength, the Republicans, instead: [ of allowing the negro to settle into his place in the new order of things and. ! cultivate amicable and natural relastions with the white man, encouraged race hatrads, preached incendiary and agrarian doctrine to the blacks, maligned the “white populstion, and—in such cases as the *‘Vicksburg massacre’’ —incited race riots in which the! Africans must sufter severely—all this to help the party at the North. _Even when economical self-gov-‘ernment had been established at the South und that . section was rejoicing in an immense cotton crop, which 'meant for the laborer emplovment and presperity, the Republicans had to start am ‘‘éxodus’, which meant for thousands of credulous negroes the sacrifice of their little property, the breaking up o: their homes and ultimate idleness and demoralization, if nothing worse. It is a sad and shameful page, in the history of the Republican party. The colored men lent the Republican -party their votes and gave it all its capital—and what was their reward?. One negro'Senator and two or three negro l Congressmen who were never admitted | to social equality; appointments for - such men as Fred Douglas and ¢ Milt”’ Turner, who could render service on the stump and never were recognized - as equals; a few clerkships or minor offices, usually bestowed on the least !reputab.‘e of the party workers——that - was all.. When the Republican party had for years cracked the high vault of “Heaven with its bellowings that it was the Codlin of the colored man, and ' would- wade in blood rather than see his . rights to absolute equality and full participation in political life questioned in ' theory or in practide; it was only ‘natural that the colored man should look to that party for that share of the - responsibilities und emoluments of public administration to which he was fully entitled. Failing toobtainsuch a share, his natural course is to seek for better treatment in new associations. <

As Democrats and well-wishers of the Nation, we shall view such a movement with more than equanimity. The same impulse which throws the ignorant and dishonest into the arms of demagogues and repudiators will tend to array the intelligent, peace-loving and industrious of the colored men on the side of good, economical and stable government. The negro whe finds that by attending vo his business and regarding his white neighbora as a human %‘)eiug like himself, with the same interests, living under the same conditions, he ean accumulate property in the enjoyment of which he will be protected, will have no sympathy with incendiarism or repudiation or the perpetuation of race-hatreds. The exceptionally intelligent and industrious colored men of Georgia would not today favor a robber regime such as that which once cursed South Carolina under Moses, any more than their white neighbors would. Good Democrats can stand *‘a break .in the solid South,” for it will break right across both races.

~_But can the Republicans? What do the Northern Republicans who have encouraged and excused the surrender to Mahone on the ground that it would benetit the party think of the declaration that the negroes have gone over to Mahone to destroy the party? This official declaration gives additional pointto The World’s query the otherday —*What will he the outcome in" 1884, whether the Mahone experiment succeeds or fails?”’ And the whole subject revives the eternal and pregnant ques-tion-—~Why does the Republican varty at the South make no nrogress? There were Whigs there before the war; ‘where are the Whigs az‘}.% their descendants and successors? Why is the white population of the South solidly Democratic? Why is the negro population no longer to be solidly Republican® , There must be soniething in the principles or practices of the dominant political par1y to account for such a state of things. What is it?—N. -Y. World.

~ {The Buli-fight in France, The news that several persons have been killed and a large number wounded ata bull-fight in Marseilles may well cause consternation in the minds of those who watch the progress of Repunblican France. When I was last in the south of France I heard of entertainments more or less closely approaching bull-fights being given in the Amphitheater at Nismes. and in one or two other places. These, however, 1 was told, were in every way less cruel and less dangerous than the proceedings over the Spanish frontier. The same journals, however, which mention the accident at Marseilles, state that two toreadors have been wounded in the course of a bull-tight in Nismes. Hitherto the bull-tight has been the crowning and individual infamy of the Spaninrds, the most cruel of Taces claiming 8 quasi-civilization. That Europe ceased at the Pyrenees. and that at the other side the African asserted himself, was the statement of one of the most eminent French statesmen. 'Deplorable indeed wofld it be for the future ofaumanity if that republican Government to whick all tarn who hope for the future of the world, should tolerate atrocities - which Bourbon and ‘Bonaparte alike suppressed.— Gentleman's: Magamne.: i den i G 5. b e
