The Albany Journal says true living Republicanism means peace and good will to the South, but not the abandonment of Republican rights. It means in short, "the best inspirations of the patriotic masses of the land, organized and vitalized into positive action."

Polk, the Democratic doorkeeper, of the House of Representatives, has been found guilty of gross irregularities and violation of law, and will have to leave his office. Fitzhugh was driven frcm the same position last year. Who next?

Hon. Amos Tuck, the man who called Chandler "a political tramp" in the New Hampshire State convention, became a bolting candidate for Representative in the State Legislature. He received twenty -five votes, so Mr. Chaadler is not entirely without revenge. Hon. Ab ram S. Hewitt, chairman, of the National Democratic committee, and Mr. Tilden '3 manager in the last political campaign, in his speech in the House criticizing the Presidents appointment declared that President Hayes title was perfect and unassailable, that it rested on an act of Congress, and was as good as that of any preceeding president

And now comes Montgomery Blair, and avers that his Democratic brother, Jerry Black was paid $15,000 to assist McOarraham, when he was Attorney General and member of Buchanan s Cabinet, An t the Honorable Jerry Black promises to make some disclosures that will startle Montgomery Blair. "Ye are brethren, etc.

The misunderstanding between England and Russia seems far from beins settled, and the probabilities for a general war in Europe seem greater than at any time within the last month. It is to be hoped, however, that wise counsels will prevail and that in the coming European conference all differences and matters of dispute may be amicably adjusted. The Supreme Court of Louisiana has set aside the verdict of the jury convicting Anderson, and ordered the discharge of the prisoner. The court says that no criminal offense was committed by Anderson, even if the allegations against him are true. The forgery of consolidated returns not being of a nature to interfere with the regular verdict of the people.

On the day before election, the New York Sun said the only question in New Hampshire was the size of the Democratic majority. But after looking over the returns from that State, Dana probably begins to realize that the Republican party cannot be divided to satisfy Billy Chandler, R. B. Hayes, or any othr man or set of men so loug as its united services are needed to prevent the destruction of free government

A drunken Virginia Congressman, named Beverly Douglass, caused quite a sensation in the House Wednesday. He was beastly drunk, and it took the entire delegation from Virginia and the sergeant-at -arms, to get him out of the room, so that ordinary business could go on. Drunkenness in high places is becoming too common, and if the people of this country expect to maintain their position among the enlightened christian nations of the earth, they must quit electing such men. The Mrs. K. B. Hayes' Temperance Society has issued a bill of excommunication against Beverly Douglass. Bev. will not mind that much; but if the voters of every congressional district would do their duty as men in the nominating conventions and at the polls, say we want no drunkards to do business for the country, Congress would not be disgraced with such men, and thousands who annually go down to the drunkard's grave, would be saved from the blighting influence of the great destroyer,

The McOarraham Claim.

This old case which has been before the country ever since Buchanan's administration, 1 period of more than twenty years, is again attracting attention. The case may be briefly stated thus: Akuarraham claims to be the owner under a Spanish grant of the tract of land in California on which the Now Idria quicksilver mi no is located. The mine is very proiitable and the company is anxious to retain it, and McGarraham is anxious to get possession of it. Many years ago the California uurts decided in favor of McGarraham, but the Now Idria Company aided by the bank of California succeeded in having the case broucht before Congress where it had remained in contest ever since. The company has had money, agents and influence. McGarraham has had giit, organizing talents, personal magnetism, a large acquaintance with public men, and considerable influence with the lobby. Whether he has ever had any just title to the property or not, we do not know; but presidents have died and administrators have passed away one after another and still he is before the country as fresh and defiant as ever. Some of MeG arm ham's correspondence has lately fallen into the hands of the company and has bsen presented as evidence by them before the Senate Committee on Public Lands. These letters Implicate a number of men who were in public life between 1858 and 18G8, among whom are Judge Jere Black, Montgomery Blair, and Daniel W. Voorhees. Black and Blair have each other by the ears and are threatening rich developments. Voorhees is out in a denial, and McOarraham is threatening to write a chapter that will astonish the American people. Pending investigations will probably result in further disclosures. Meanwhile Mr. Voorhees is entitled to the benefit of his denial, and people should suspend judgment until he is proven guilty. We have never had a very exalted opinion of the Indiana statesman, but the inclination to blacken the characters of our public men without sufficient evidence is too prevalent at present. We should always wait until we know that a man has done wrong before denouncing him, but when convinced of the dishonesty of our public servants we should not attempt to shield them because they belong to our poltical household.

Rebel War Claims. The rebels, under the guise of the Methodist Church South, have achieved a great victory a victory that calls for a protest from every northern man that demands of us, without regard to party, to say to our Seuators and Representatives in Congress: "Stop right here; advance not another step in that direction." We refer to the report of the Senate Committee, in favor of allowing the claim of half a million dollars for the use and occupation, during the war, of property belonging to the Methodist Church South. This Church during the war was the very hot-bed of treason, and the argument that a Church, as such, cannot be disloyal, is so absurd that it seems impossible that any man possessing common sensd would consider it for a moment; and when men, who are holding high positions, and are supposed to be above the average in intelligence, men who lived during the struggle for national existence, and saw the loyalty of the Church North, and the disloyalty of the Church South, come forward with such arguments, it is beyond our comprehension. Just as the churches and the ministry of the North, without regard to creed or name, were on the side of the government, the churches of the South were on the side of the rebellion. And now these men come forward and say to the government, "Your troops used our churches to sleep in, they used them for hospitals, they took shelter in them from the storm; our property was damaged; now all that you have to do is to ascertain the amount of dam age and pay it." These claims in one shape or another, have been pending since the close of the war, and they are only the forerunner of thousands of others of a similar nature. If the precedent is once established, all of the other churches of the South will come forward with their claims; then will come the claimants for the use of colleges, seminaries and school bouses, and behind these will be ihe claims for the occupation of State and Court Houses, and in ono way or another wo shall find that it will take millions on millions of our hard-earned money. Let the people say to their Congressmen, if you go one inch in that direction you shall be hurled from your places and disgraced forever.

The Chanoston News (Dem.) does not think that the story of ex-Gov. Moses, about counting out the Tilden electors, is of much importance. The News says "we have every reason to believe that on the face of the returns, as submitted to the State canvassers, the Hayes electors were elected. No counting in was necessary." Let no one forget that one week from next Monday is election day, and that to aid in electing good men to office is an essential duty of every American citizen. If your township convention has not been held, do not consider it beneath your dignity to attend. Whether farmer, mechanic, merchant or professional man, as a good citizen, you cannot afford to stay at home. But if you do stay at home, and the whole matter is left to professional politicians and bummers, and bad men are placed in

nomination and elected, let us hear

no grumbling from you; if you can-!

not take time to perform the duties of a citizen of a free government, you ought to suffer, and if you could be made to suffer without injuring others, we should be glad of it. A quietus was put upon the claims of the Southern mail contractors, in the House, on Saturday last. That portion of the rebel archives produced by Willis during the discussion, showing that those claims had once been paid by the Confederacy, no doubt prevented the swindle from becoming a law. The purchase of the rebel archives was bitterly denounced at the time by a number of politicians and newspapers, as a useles:; expenditure of money; but they have, since that time, saved the government many times their cost, and will, no doubt, be of great value in the future.

Political .Note. Voorhees seems to be loosening his grip on the resumption act. His promise to annihilate it is already overdue. New York Tribune, The Northern Democracy never did and never will contend with vigor and firmness against any orders issued by their Southern masters. Land iv f Republican. History warns us that one of the first symptoms of the degentracy and decline of a great nation, is when its public meu become drunkards. Chicago Evening Journal. In the election for Supervisors in thirty-nine counties in New York the Nationals elected 66 out of 848. In Chomung County the Democrats are left without a single Supervisor, Anybody will be able to distinguish the new big white dollar from any other coin it's so ugly. Nobody but an Englishman could have conceived such a face as that of the Goddess of Liberty. Dayton Journal. Where, oh where, are thoso three able statesmen whom a proud constituency sent forth last October to represent the great metropolis of the West in the councillor the nation at Washington? St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The McGarrahan claim, it is said,

has fired the animosities of Jere Black and Montgomery Blair, and they will indulge in reminisences concerning each other. If it turns out a Kilkenny cat affair, the public will erect suitable monuments. There are about Ave hundred cities, towns, and plantations in Maine. Four of the towns the greenbackers have carried, if we can believe the greenbacker apostle who acts as agent for tho Associated Press at Camden. Boston Journal. General Grant has been discmsed as a possible candidate for the presidency in 1880. But he writes from Europe to a distinguished Republi

can of Knoxville, Tennessee, saying ' that nothing could induce him ever

to become a candidate for President again. The Pennsylvania Legislature has aimed a blow at Dr. LeMoyne's cremation business, or is contemplating such a step. A member has introduced a bill making cremation of the human body a misdemeanor, and imposing a fine of from $500 to $1,000, with imprisonment The Greenbank party of Texas met at Austin, March 12. Thirteen counties were represented. A permanent organization was effected, and arrangements made for the calling of a nominating convention. The Grsenbackers invited the Patrons of Husbandry to cooporate with them. Tho Chicago Tribune says Mr. Til den is fattening a crow for Democrats to dine on in 1880. The Tribune must not assume that the Democrats are iond of the savory dish. Tilden made them eat crow in 1870, but they don't hauker after it enough to repeat the dose. Tilden will eat his own crow in 1880. Memphis Acnlanche. The Graud Jury of Pike County, Miss., reported that many person? summoned beforo them as witnesses failed to come, because of the fear of personal violence should they testify. "One witness," they say. "was assassinated while enroute to the seat of justice, and we have received such information as to lead us to believe that tho lives of others would be in danger if they came before the court to testify." Mississippi gives a Democratic majority of 50,000. Mr. Schurz is an efficient Secretary of the Intorior, and deserves support rather than scurrilous attacks; but Schurz should havo the sagacity to see that tho President needs the confidence of tho best men of his party in Congress, and ought to use his influence to bring about that harmony. All fair-miuded and clean men applaud his action with reference to the plundering rings, but cannot he so bear himself toward the best men in the Republican party in Congress as to secure the support which the administration needs ?- Hoston Journal. Tho New York World was disappointed over the Now Hampshire election, und, in admitting the fact, says : "The New Hampshire election has turned out like the farmer's hog, of which the disappointed owner said: 'It didn't weigh half as much as I expected, and I never thought it would. The Republicans haye done better than they had reckoned upon doing, and the estimates of the most experienced managers upon tho ground in regard to a light vote have proved signally inaccurate, to the marked disadvantage of the Democrats."

News of tlie Week Condensed.

Miss. Ada Sweet has been reappointed as pension agent at Chicago. Tho Pcabody Hotel at Memphis. Tenn., was partially destroyed by fiiv Sunday morniug. Persons in Washington, who seem to know, predict the greatest Indian war next summer that svo ever had. President Hayes received a telegram Monday, announcing the release of Gen. Anderson fiom prison, at New Orleans. It is estimated that 77 persons starve to death in England every year, while 299 die annually from the excess in eating. Hon. A. G. Porter took the oath of office and entered upon his duties as Comptroller of tho Treasury, on Tuesday of last week. The President has refused to renominate narrison, of this State, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Union Pacific Railway, A bill is before Congress providing for the abolition of all pension agencies, and the payment of pensions directly by tho Treasurer of the United States. "A dispatch from Vienna, dated March 20th, says that tho dead tock between Russia and England, with regard to tho treaty in the coming Congress, is comblete. A. Willard, managing editor of tho Chicago Post, died at the 'Palmer House, Chicago, Sunday morning. Mr. Willard had been connected with the Chicago press for about seven years. Bills have been introduceo in both Houses of Congress to locate the new mint at Indianapolis. Several other places are working to get it, and it is hard to guess which will succeed. The snow storm which began March the 7th ; was the heaviest experienced in the Black Hills country since its settlement by white men. All fears of scarsity of water for mining purposes in the Hills the coming season are dispelled. The Chancellor of Kentucky has decided against the validity of Utah divorces. One of the party asking for a divorce was a former Chief Justice of the Apellate Court of Kentucky. A Circuit Court in Indiana was the first to decide those divorces illegal, and the courts of other States are generally following the precedent established. Tho jury in the case of the City of Chicago vs. the bondsmen of ex-City Treasurer David A. Gage, for defalcation, in 1874, returned a verdict for the city, for the amount of the original deficiency, $507,703, without interest, and $1,000.000 penalty. The bondsmen are among the prominent citizens in Chicago. A motion for a new trial was entered by defendants. Tho body of Albert Whitaker, who mysteriously disappeared from Dunkirk, Ind., fourteen years ago, and who was supposed murdered, was found Saturday, five miles northwest of Dunkirk, by Joseph Hudson, while digging a ditch in a cranberry marsh. One boot, the flesh of one hand, and enough of his clothing were left to identify tho body. A Coroner's inquest will be held. Tho Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune believes that the political situation in France is more complicated now than at any time since the 16th of May last year. The union between the clergy, the army, the "Bight" of the Senate, and the arti-Republican masses of the people indicates that mischief is brewing. In the army violent Imperialists havo been placed in important commands, and the soldiers have been encouraged iu a feeling hostile to tho Republic. In tho plot again-t the government, if there is such, tho army is expected to play an important part.

The New Harapshiie correspond er,t of the New York Times, writing of the result of the recent election in that State, says: "In certain quarters the attempt will be made to show that this victory is an indorsement of Hayes, but every ono conversant with the state of things hero knows that such is not the e ise. The Republican vote has been brought out by special efforts being made to show that the President's policy was not an issue in the campaign," The correspondent states that Win. K. Chandler made a large contribution V the campaign fund, and went home from Washington to vote.

Tho Republican cause is a grand one, and it is worthy of the highest perfection iu organized effort. Tho township elections, which tuke place on the first Monday iu April, and the city elections, whieh take placo in May, should command tho working energies of every Republican in Indiana. Do not suffer these elections to go by default. Republicans should work as zealously in these elections as if engaged in electing a President And do not remain away because you are In a hopeless minority. Every vote cast in these elections will count in making up the gains in October. We therefore desire to impress it upon the Republicans of Indiana that these elections are iuiportunt in a two-fold sense, as the men elected conduct the October elections, and the votes cast will indicate whether the party in the State is dead or alive. Indiana is Republican. No Democrat has carried a majority of the votes of the State since the war. Republicans havo been divided on minor issues, and havo allowed the Democracy to seize upon the executive, the legislative and judicial departments of the government by a plurality Vote. Good men have been sacri

ficed, and bad men havo been pro-

' moted through our divisions. W j are to fight a decisive battle next i October, which is to determine whethj er the State of Indiana will, for the j next twenty years, be governed and

guided by tiie puneiples of Republicanism or by tho demagosism of modern Democracy. If the Republicans expect to win in this battle, they must organize and get ready for action at once. India tut j, nils Journal. Eor the first time in tho history of Georgia, a whito man has been hung for the murder of a negro, Augustus Johnson having been executed on Friday last for the murder of Daniel Alford. Johnson openly confessed that he had killed eight persons, and his lawyers and relatives admitted tho truth of the charges against him, and made the defense upon the plea that he was insane on the subject of killing, and therefore not responsible for his acts. Most of tho persons murdered by him were negroes, but from the sworn evidence it seems that ho had attempted to kill scores of persons, almost without provocation. Several of his relatives believed him insane, but other relatives and intimate acquaintances testified that he was perfectly sane. The condemned man held his nerve to the last, and spent tho evening previous to the execution carousing and joking with a crowd of "roughs," having driven his weeping wife from the cell. His last request was for whisky, and when the priest, who had spent the morning with him praying, gave him holy water instead of whisky, he cursed him and threw him off the scaffold. A full record of his deeds would show him a monster unequalled in the criminal history of America.

The most remarkable and wonderful of all his eruliar freaks, was a great muscular power that came to h 111 one day while he was loading wheat iuto a wagon.

WEST TOWNSHIP. J. Ci HÄTZ. The Republican convention laat Saturday wai the largest ever held in this township. There were about seventy present. It was called to order by C. Uauisey, and there beiug no chairman appointed, ho acted as chairman. It, was moved that the chair appoint clerks and judges, lie appointed G. A. Miller and W. M. Coleman as clerks, and W. W.

Ooleman received the majority of the rotes, and it waa moved that ho be the unanimous nominee. It w;i moved that the convention make no further nominations, and was carried by a feeble "aye" Thero being no farther business tho convention adjourned. We think there was a bad mistake in not nominating a full ticket. There are some good men on the Democratic ticket no doubt, but we have good men in our party, and we think our ticket would have been stronger by putting good men on for the several offices, or indorsing tho best men on the Democratic ticket, this half-way business we do not believe in, and we will not gain any more votes by It than if we had placed in nomination a full ticket of good men Miss Druie Beiler has gone to Lima, Ohio, on a visit.
