Remember that a vote for Confer or Woodward la a vote for Voorhees the salary grabber.

Of the National party, Gen. Garfield says: "It reminds me of ao incident in the Granger excitement An old farmer who joined tüe granger party and was enthusiastic over its prospects said to me: "Wait until we find out just what we want to do and we will show you how big a row we can make."

The Herald last week published editorially a portion of the 10th chapter of Mark including the 25th verse, which we suppose is a fling at Norman S. Woodward, for in another

column it calls attention to the fact

that Woodward is a rich man. This is positively cruel. Yet, if Mr. W. is to be a champion in the communistic ranks we suppose he ought to be willing to divide.

Sold A train. The Greenback Labor Reformers

of this district met in convention at

Kendall ville, Wednesday of last week, and nominated Judge Tousley, of Albion, as their candidate for Congress. The ring programme was thus carried out and the "honest party" "the party of the people" the "poor man's party" placed themselves in the market asking the Democracy of the district to take them. The Kendal! vi lie Standard says "there was considerable difficulty in whipping in some of the delegates to support the ring programme, but it was finally accomplished by the persuas

ive eloquence of the "lager beer and

pretzel." Notwithstanding all the enthusiasm manifested by the huge Greenback party in Marshall county to secure the nomination of John S. Bender, we are informed that there were but three delegates present from this county and Mr. Bender did not get a single vote in the convention. The whole concern was run by the old Democratic ring politicians, and the Democrats of the county will be expected to swallow Tousley just as they did Greely, Tilden, Kelley, and others. It will of course not be a worse dose than they have taken and will be no worse for them than for the "flat" fellows who have offered the trade. The Herald of this city, whose editor was a delegate, tells it in this way : "Several names were then brought before the convention for representative in Congress, Judge Hiram S. Tousley, on account of his fidelity to the people, to the Greenback cause, and general integrity, seemed to be the unanimous choice of the convention and was nominated by acclamation." Whether the Democracy ratifies the contract made by the politicians or not, it must be evident to all that the "flat" leaders in this district are for sale just as they are everywhere else.

The Herald wants us to answer the question put by the Terre Haute Express, to name an issue upon which the Republican party is agreed. We have had the answer at the head of our editorial columns for the past five weeks; it is entitled the "Indiana Republican Platform in Brief." Now we venture the assertion that there isn't an issue, live or ortherwise, on which a majority of the so-called Green backers.in this State can agree, except the desire to get into office, and we defy the Herald to name any other that can secure the united support of one-third of those now whining about the currency and bondholders.

Dr. Confer is out in a card in the Democrat of last week in which he declares that he will, if elected to the Legislature, use all his influence to secure the election of D. W. Voorhees to the United States Senate. He assumes that all of the Democrats and some of the voters of other parties want Mr. Voorhees returned to the Senate. Now we believe that there are some honest Democrats in Marshall County, and we believe that some of those men who took a solemn oath that they would not vote for a salary grabber fur office will recollect that if they vote for Dr. Confer, they will vote for the salary grabber, Voorhees.

The notorious Sam. Cary, who was a candidate for Vice President on tbe Cooper ticket in 1876, who aspires to be the leader of woikingmen, carries a gold headed cane, rides in a fine carriage, stops at the best hotels, who has belonged to evety party that has had an existence at any time within the past thirty-five years, and has been kept in office, or supported as a bummer by the people, ever since he was twenty years old, will open the flat-money campaign at Terre Haute tomorrow. We do not know how much per speech he gets for his sentiments, but he will try to lay in enough of redeemable currency to keep him until the next campaign, or the next new party is formed.

Where Mr. Colfax Stands on the Greenback Question. The South Bend Tribune has the following: The Tribune hearing that Mr. Colfax had been asked to accept the national greenback nomination for congress in this district sent a reporter to Interview him and ascertain the truth or falsity of the report. Mr. Colfax said he had received a letter to that effect, and at the request of the reporter furnished a copy of his reply: THE LETTER. Francisvili.b, Ind.. July 12, 187, Hon. Schuyler GUfaz, South Bend, Ind. Dear Sir: Would you accept the nomination on the National Greenback ticket for congressman in this district1 The southern counties are all alive with greenback men. We are talking you down here and would like to hear from you on the subject in a private or public way. The speech you made at a fair in the west on the hard times leads us to believe you are a sound greenbeckei . Yours respectfully, M. M. Gordon, M. D. MR. COLPAX'S REPLY SocTn Ian, Ind., July 13 '78. My Dear Sir Your letter of yesterday, asking it I would accept the national greenback nomination for congressman In this district, is just at hand. I supposed by this time every voter in this district aud State understood that I could not be a candidate for any office whatever, not being willing to exchange my present enjoyable and independent life for any offi cial position. To be frank with you, however, I must add that having been a "green backer" from the outset, and having for long years vindicated greenbacks be fore the people, when many who now claim to be their special champions were deiiding them and the sacred cause to sustain which they were issued, as well as predicting their ultimate worthlessness, I am, very naturally, an earnest adherent still of the Republican party which authorized them, championed them, and has. by a maintainance of the national faith and credit, brought them up in pur chasing value, to an equivalent with the best dollar any nation can claim to haver Yours truly, SCHUTLER COLPAX. Dr. M. M. Gordon, Francisville, Ind.

The Southern Democrats are now throwing off the mask and coming out boldly for the old States rights doctrine. A few years ago if Jeff Davis had made a speech embodying the sentiments expressed in his late secession speech, all the leading Democrats would have been quick to declare that they did not reflect the sentiment of the people of the South, or of the Democratic party. Now all the Southern papers applaud, call him a ' patriot statesman," and say that he speaks the sentiments of the

people. The T.7 Orleans Democrat

says it is a bitter lie to call such men as Davis traitors and rebels. Tbe Democrats of the North are as com

pletely under control of the South as

they were before the rebellion, and whenever the Democracy get control of both branches of Congress, the $3,-

000.000 of rebel claims will have to be paid, the Union men will have to apologize and take back seats, or the

war will have to be fought over again. Tbe Terre Haute Express of Monday printed a statement to demonstrate that the bill authorizing the

building of the new State House never passed the legislature. A fac simile is printed o f the roll call of the 1st of March, 1877, a stereotype of the tally of that date. By this it appears that one name was fraudulently in the column of "ayes" in recording the vote of Mr. Johnson of Carroll, and duplicating the vote of Mr, Kennedy of Rush, thus making a total of forty-six, where there should have been forty five. A similar error, according to the Exprens, was made in recording the column of "nays," by which the vote of Mr. Asken is really left out, though iu such a manner a not to be readily detected. This makes the summing up of the ayes and nays 45, each including the speaker, who voted aye, and the bill was lost. In the house journal, of Thursday, March 1, 1877, the ayes recorded number 47 and the nays 44. Among the ayes are W. A. Conley. of Vigo, and John Dannetell, of Vanderburg. The Express publishes a statement

from each of these over his own signature. Connelly says he opposed the State House bill and voted from the beginning against it Dannetell says he voted against its final passage. Our Candidates. The Republican Convention last Saturday did a good work. Every township was fully represented and the convention was harmonious and enthusiastic. JAMES M. LOWEST, candidate for representative, is a substantial farmer of Walnut township, is one of the oldest citizens of the county, a man of good sense, sterling integrity, and, In fact just the man for the place. HIB AM J. MACOMBEB, of German township, who was nominated for Auditor by acclamation, Is well known throughout the county. He is one of the best business men in the flourishing town of Bremen, and his qualifications are not excelled by any man in tbe county. He will make an officer any county might be proud of, and every man in Marshall should feel fortunate in having such a candidate to vote for. NOAH V. HOOVER, of West township, is the nominee for Clerk. He is a man of the people, well qualified for the position, and will make a clerk that will give satisfaction to Republicans, Greenbackers and Democrats. PRED TESCHER, of Bourbon, is the people's man for Treasurer. He will not try to run the office in such way that nobody will dare make a canvass against him for re-nomination. He does not, If elected, expect to hold the office for life ; he is honest and capable, and will perform the duties of the office in a way that will satisfy all patrons, and he should receive the vote of every laboring man, farmer, mechanic and merchant in the county. JOHN V. A 8 TLX Y, of Plymouth, received the nomination for Sheriff. Everybody knows John, and what is better, knows he is

just the kind of fellow to make a good officer. If the people do what they ought his majority will be almost too big to count. For Recorder we have honest, substantial, capable, WILLIAM COXtiER, of North. No better man for the po

sition can be found in the county. JOHS YOCXEf, is just the man for Surveyor, and the young men of the county who waut to cut away from the rings and the cliques, and who want to give all a fair chance, will be pleased to vote for him and the rest of the ticket DR. CLARE CHAPMAN, of Walnut the candidate for Coroner is an old citizen, a good physician, a flrstrate fellow, and deserves to be elected by a large majority. NOAH WILTFONO, of North township, is just the man for Commissioner and as a minority party ought to be represented, and both the incumbents belong to the Democratic party, the Democrats could not do a better thing than to vote solid for Noah. He is an old citizen, honest and capable, Is identified with the common people and will faithfully guard their.lnterests. The entire ticket is just such a ticket as ought to be elected, and at this time ought to receive the support of earnest thinking men of all parties.

For the first half of the year 1878 the express charges on goods received at Rochester have been $1,242.25; on goods shipped $783,30. During the same time $64,000 was sent away and $30,000 received. Clarence Hossler, a young man about 21 and clerk in tho Michigan City post office, was arrested last week upon the charge of stealing money from registered letters. He acknowledges the theft, and was taken to LaPorte and lodged in jail. The residence of Mrs. Sarah Hoover, four miles east of Rochester, was burglarized Tuesday afternoon while she and the family were in town. Besides a lot of clothing and quilts $300 in notes were taken. Sheriff Ward is after the thief or thieves but at this writing no tidings have been obtained. Rochester Spy. John TJnrue, who lives about four

miles east of this city, was mowing I

in a meadow on Tuesday morning, before breakfast and in order to keep cool, went at it barefooted. A rattlesnake, not relishing the intrusion upon what he considered his domains, invited him to retire by taking hold of a toe. John retired, and Dr. Davidson was called to repair damages. He reports his patient as getting along very well. Warsa w Republican.

News of the Week Condensed. A grandson of Gen. Shields died

yellow fever in St. Louis Saturday. A fire at Defiance, Ohio, Sunday night, destroyed $35,000 worth of property. It is rumored that Simon Cameron will be a candidate for United States Senator in Pennsylvania. Nearly the entire business portion of the town of Catlettburg, Ky., was destroyed by fire Monday. The wheat crop in Minnesota is believed to have been damaged from twenty to forty per cent, by the recent rains and

hot weather. Dispatches from various points throughout the West, state that tbe fish in all the rivers and creeks are dying by thousands. The cause is unknown. Hot weather prevails at London, and on the continent the heat is very severe. In Paris and some parts of the exposition building the heat is unendurable. A baloonist named L. D. At eh in son, while making an ascension at Elmwood, 111., last Saturday evening, fell a distance of 200 feet and was killed instantly. A cyclone at Albany, New York, Sunday blew down houses, scattered the contents of lumber yards, damaged the gas works, and indicted a loss of about $100,000. The Directors of the Mint received a dispatch from the Superintendent of the mint at San Francisco saying that f Wi,0O0 in silver dollars had been expended at that mint at par for gold coin since the 1st of July. Another shipload of Mennoniles, 724 in number, arri ed at New York on Wednesday. Tbey came from the southern part of Russia One hundred and six left the same day for Dakota and the remain der will go to Kansas. The Galveston Nete't special says: "Sam Bass, the notorious train robber, died Sunday, and was buried Monday. His last moments were easy. He refused

to inform on his accomplices, saying that

it was against his profession,

directly or indirectly with all kinds of

ammunition, and that their stores, under

the management of tbe Mormon priest

hood, are located along the Indian bor

der, and in all the towns and hamlets in the territory of Utah, and also in Idaho.

fhc yellow fever has broken out quite

violently in the Brooklyn Navy Yard

The presence of the disease is supposed

to be owing to the fact that germs of the fever have b n retained in refuse dis

charged from ships in quarantine, where

men have been employed in dregging.

From a summary of over 200 reports

received by . P. Bacon & Co., commis

sion merchants of Milwaukee, from points

in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, in the past three weeks, the damage to the wheat crop by the late storm and excessive heat averages 17 percent, in Wisconsin, 27 per cent, in Iowa, and 27 per cent.

in Minnesota. A Washington special to the Cincinnati

Commercial says: "It has long been a subject of uncertainty and conjecture

where the Indians obtained their ainmu

nition during hostilities with the whites. A letter received by Secretary Schurz from the United States commissioner at

Salt Lake City, dated the 10th instant, sheds some light on the suhject. The

commissioner says that tiie Mormon co

operative stores throughout Utah and

portions of Idabo supply hostile Indians

The Hussian nnoftictal press is more or

less dissatisfied with the treaty. Before

its conclusion, Akaskoff, a Panslavist agi tator, made such a violent speech at Mos

cow against the Hussian concessions in

the congress, that he was warned that its

repetition would be regarded as a personal

attack on the Czar. The Liberals would

have been willing tnat a state of war

should continue, liecause they hoped out

of its results to gain the basis of constitu

tional liberty, but an immense majority

of the Hussian people as well as the mer

canlile community, and wealthy as well

as lower classes want peace.

The Greenbackers are not very numerous in this locality. We have heard just now that Mrs. Pontius, of this place, is very sick. Elihu Morris and wife went to Chicago ou the 17th inst, with the excursion. Mrs. Pickerl lost a valuable mare one day last week, while her son was plowing corn. Huckleberries are getting scarce. There will be a tolerable fair crop of apples and peaches. Wolf Creek has two new comers Mr. Piatt, the blacksmith, and Mr. Pontius; both good citizens.

Clinton, at 3 o'clock, and Sabbath school every Sunday at 2 Oliver Morris, Superintendent. The farmers have been busily engaged for several days plowing corn, which looks very promising at the present time. Oats harvest is at hand, and the yield bids fair to be an average one.

The health in this locality is generally

good. Dr. Caillat talks of moving to

Plymouth, but we hope he will change his

mind, for we would be sorry to loose so good a physician.

The boys around Wolf Creek amuse

themselves these hot nights swimming in

the mill pond and race. The grist mill is

The "flat" money men are constant

iy denouncing bankers and bondholdrrs. yet at the same time nominate t'iem to office whenever they can gjt one to accept. Their candidate for Governor of Michigan is a "bloated bond -holder" and the owner of flftyhveshares of bankstock. Theircaodidates for Congress in this State are nearly ail rich, are bankers, or professional men. Moses W. Fields, who is as frequently quoted by the "flat" fellows as is Pameroy, has been an office seeker and office holder all his life, is one of the richest men in Michigan and made his money swindling poor men. It is an absolute fact that this pretended greenback party has more money sharks and offloe-teek-ers among its leaders than any other party of the same size has ever had in this country.
