There are times in t'ie pr gresfl of political events when it seems a3 if no earthJv power eoald prevent tue defeat of a BasftJ that hal ptevioilljr been successful ; anJ tkerc are other times when it would appear that nothing e mid prevent the same party from achieving a victory. Mueh may he d-me hy political work, for it is by such means that the thoughts of tin people arc trained in a eeftain direction ; but p dltical or governmental affairs not unfreqiuntiy bo shape themselves that a particular line of thought and action will be followed by a majority of the people, regard!--of the efforts that may be made to turn them in a different way, or t I n 1 duee them to continue in the same beaten path whieli they have followed in times past. This general ehaPge of base, or upheaval of political elements, doe.s not always result from the same cause; it sometimes is brought bowl bv wfliwl BUght fed termed a general restlessness on the part of the pe- pie, or it may be caused by a deep seated conviction in their mindth::ta reneral ehange of rulers and policies is necessary for the public welfare ; and i is this latter conviction which appears to be working in th minds of the peopij at this time. The indications everywhere to be seen, point unmistakably to the fact that a period not later than 1872 vrill wibacsfl a complete ch nge of rulers and policies in this govern r.ent. The people have borne long and patiently the unprofitable rule of radi alism. until its hypocritical pretensions to honesty and a desire to rule for the benefit of the whole conntry, have become disgusting to those who now begin In see the deception by which their support has been obtained heretofore. They not only begin to see this deception, but are giving evidence of a desire to free Oiexnsclaea from its power by opp; sing the negro equality schemes of the party in poWWf its high taxation and. above all, PS iniquitous, perfidious and unjust t.iriii". by which the whole country ia taxed and the revenues to the gov:rnv;nt reduced f .r the purpose of building up SWR aaatadnining a bonded and manufacturing aristocracy. 1 y whoso wealth and influence they h-pe tor tain power. Many honest and well-meaning Rcpubli . -ans have been led, by a blind party zeal, to Vote for men whom they knew would apfcold the very measures they detested; but the general r- stive ness which is everywhere apparent HBOWR the people has given birth to an iudepeudbwee of thought and action which creates serious distrust in the minds of Republican leaden relative to their future prosp -is. The p- rty lash has lo5t many of its terrors; and these who attempt to v.s. it, trequsntrj find themselves receiving more than they give. For these reSBOWS ane othefl which will be presented as the rwrpsigl progresses, the political oat-look is everywhere bright and encoursging to all who are working for the overthrow of thr.se who annually steal more of the people! money than other p Mttieal parties require to pay the entire expenses of the government. Republican journals are recognizing the fact that their leaden are fast losing their power to c mtr ol the masses of their party, and that powerful defections may occur at any tiane. The divisions in their party, which have in many places assumed formidable dimensions, are not the evidence upon which we base our predictions, only in eo fet as they indicate the perturbed state of the political efeflMBtS. There are the stroii" t incentives to enwcMmg aflbna on t s part of all conhi is tires, by its os of the pro th.t their lahor will not be in vain, but will result in victory I or the right To secure this de-ired consummation, lei unot consider any labor ton great, or any position in the ereat work of relorma tion too onerous. An enterprisl- g reporter of a Washington daily caihd upon the ceh hrated Indian warrior, Spotted Tail, for the purpose of interviewing him ; but find ing him in a somnolent state from over indulgence in Washington's u henzine," he set about examining the chief I of f- eta, with the following result: One pipe of pe.;re, ..ne torkillg. two QSnRS of dried r:Lr' ppors. e- py of Brigham Young' .icrnioiip, speech of Susan I.

General Row Among Faithful. Hie TTIK CONGRESSIONAL CONTENTION, The rat agony which hau been din t orbing the quid of the Republican par fv of ibia eoosresoioBa cli.stri'-t was brought to .i feeWf yesterday, M YA'au.itab, where assembled tluir convent; n t' n on iir.te a candidate fur eonsrr - ;. The tti popularity of (Jen. Packard, r.s a political leader had caused no little dissatüuäetion in all parts of the district; and if he had come before the convention on his merits as a congressional representative of the party, without the v ry gn t advantage of having served hut one term, and being by common eage and custom entitled to two, unless for good eause shown, he would certainly have been defeated. We heard delegates from all parts of the district express themselves, some in favor of and others ajrainst him : a?el nine tenths of hie Supporten urged his renomination solely on the ground that he was bj enstout entitled to it. and that he had done nothing very bad. His opponents were not slow in giving their reasons why he should not bejeuominafed. some of which were, that he had not sufficient ability to make a respectable representative ol nie uistriet. nnt that 1 l i i i n ii . uc iura proi-n jae 10 neariv an me pledges he had ever made to his friends. The throe candidatesPackard. Wol eott and Cathcart were all in attendanee. At an eariv hour the delegations I an to arrive, those from the county of Laporte ontannibcring all the other counties in the district. Considerable in! test was manifested by the different del- gations as to how Inportc wou'd vote. Those in attendance from that county assembled on the open prairie, on two sides of a ditch the Packard men. including twelve or fifteen Fifteenth amendment-', on the enst, an 1 the Oatheart men on the west side. The count show i ab mt two-thirds of the delegation to be for P&ekard. When the vote w;;s announced, Cathoart ar"-" and declined to boa candidate, and denied that he bud at any time sought the nomination. This was received with cheers by the Packard men, who could plainly see in that fact a healing of all their woes; and one enthusiastic delegate moved that the entire vote of the county be rati for Pack ird; but this motion brought OUt SUch thundering coe- fr- a all parts of the assemblage that the mover was glad to withdraw it. The anti-Packard men informed their enemies that if their candidate did withdraw, their vote should never be cast for Packard never! and it wasn't. At 11 o'clock a temporary organ U t-1 tion was eftected by the appointment of K. P. Hammond, of Rcnsalaer, Chairman; and N. V. Prower, ofthe Mishawaka Enterprise, Secretary. The usual committees on permanent organisation, on credentials, and on resolutions were appointed, with or h rs to report at the meeting of the convention in the afternoon. During the recess a great amount of figuring was done, until it was demonstrated to a certainty that Packard wowM be nominated on the first ballot. when his opponents became almost totally demoralized, as they plainly foresaw that their wishes would receive do consideration whatever by the co .vention which was soon to reassemble. The eonvi nti- n n issembl i at 1:30, and on the call of the temporary chair aaaa to come to order, the wildest confusion ot which it i possible to imagine, ensued. It seemed that each particular delegate deemed it his bounden duty to make all the noise possible, reg.irdless of any particalar end to be gain (I by so doing. Partial order having been secured, the committee on permanent organisation reported for permanent ofbeen as fellows: President Judge C. II Teat, of White county ; Secretaries X. V Prower, of St. Joseph Go. and Prank Bedell, of Lake county. The committee on credentials read an atensive list of names which but a few mid hear, and they seemed lo care very little about it. The irrepressible Morg. Weir, of Laporte, moved the adoption of a resolution pledging each delegate of the eonventioi to support the nominee. This was received with hooting and veiling, and in the general confusion a dclegate, name unknown, offered an asaendment, to the effect that the dictates of conscience are paramount to party discipline, and that whea a party put in nomination a man whom they can not eonseientiously support, they arc absolved from all responsibility of luck nomination. The amendmi nt was hissed gleaned at, Bad finally voted down. Tin- committee on r solutions reported, in substance, that they have faith in the present national und st.-ite admin istrations; that they "cordially" end t the course pursed by Hon. Jasper PackBid cheers, groans and bissesj; recommend a reduction of taxation; ar. in favor of a tariff ir revenue only: ar opposed to all d n ifioiis f public land to railroad and other private corporations; congratulate the country on the peeaenS delightful state of affairs as the resu't of Republican rule; public expenditures to be redweed to I he low it possible pCOttt, and every dollar of the nitional deal to be paid. Weir, of Laporte, nominated Hon. Jasper Faeksra for eonirrenr. A del--gate nominated Hon. Anson Woleott, of II bite County. Ar. ulco.t s name was rabseouently withdrawn". Mr. Weir I moved that Packard be nominated by

acclamation. ( bjcct d to by hundreds, motion withdrawn, and ballot ordered. While the ballot was being taken the delegations from Fnlton, Pulaski, White and one-third ofthe delegates from Laporte, withdrew from the convention for the n asan that the rights oi the mi nority were beinr trampled upon ;md totally disregarded. The excitement at this stage ofthe proceedings was great, and a general falling to pieces of their party mac hinery seemed imminent. Partial order was restored, and the balloting continued. Jasper county cast four votes for "Schuyler Colfax," and four for Packard Marshall east 17 votes for Packard, and two for "Osborn" what Osborn was not stated. The ballot sto .d 122 for Packard, 26 for W,dcott, 4 for Colfax. 4 for Cathcait, and 2 for Osborn. More. Wehr moved that th nomination of Packard be declared ; unanimous." which motion was carried by a majority vote amid rather more than the usual-amount of uproar. More;. Weir moved that a committee be appointed to notify Hon. Jasper Packard of his reuominatioa, and that the mover be left off the committee. The chair appointed Jas. Davis, of St, Joseph, G St. Dakin, of Laporte, and K. (I Shryock, of Fulton. A eongressionsl central committee of two from each eouaty was then chosen by the delegates from the several counties. The members for Marshall are 11. Cr. Thayer and W. M. Kendall. Gen. Packard having put in an appearance, proceeded to deliver himself of a speech. He found it difficult to control his emotions at receiving such a hearty endorsement" from his constituents whom he loved so well. He had been weighed in the balance and not found wanting had been tried, and sorely triüd, and found not guilty. The balauee of his Speech was a tissue of falsehoods concerning the Democratic party, mid loyal balderdash about the j last achievement- and future pr ispcots ofthe gr at and everlasting Republican party. The chairman. Judge Test, being over full of speech, took occasion t o remark that it was painful to see the laek of harmony existing among them, as evidenced by the feeling! of the delegates there assembled. He asked if they would let their feelings on the congressional question endanger the success of the state ticket. They thought not, but didn't like Packard or bis supporters. Atter the transaction of pome important business the convention adjourned with three cheen for Packard spiced with the usual amount of groans and hisses.

IXth DlSifril Judicial Convention. Alter adjournment of the Congressional convention, the counties composing the IXth judical circuit organized Republican judicial convention bjthe election of Morgan IT. Ywcr. of Laporte. chairman, and N. V. Prower and F. P. Bedell, secretaries. Thos. 8. Staufleld, of South Bend, being the only candidate before the convention, was nominated lor circuit judge by acclamation. I r circuit prosecutor, W. T. Horine, of Lake, "I. A. Cole, of Laporte, and M. L. KssieV. of Pulton, were announced as candidates. Tho first ballot resulted; Essick, 68 ; Horine, 36 Cole, 26. Pssiek having received a pvjnriy rC rill to mmAmm .-c, J elared the unanimous nominee. Members of the eongressionai central committee, residing in the counties composing the IXth judicial eircr.it, were elected to be the judicial central committee. Aoj urncd. ConTeBtlenww for Xominatlora t ('oauuiosi Iio:is Piosi cutors. The counties of Porter, Lake. Pulaski and Jasper nominated Vv. T. I ferine, of Lake, for common pleas prosecutor. The counties of Laporte, St. Joseph, Marshall and Elkhart, (the latter not represented,) unanimously nominated W, 1. Hess, of Plymouth, for toinmon pleas prosecutor. It was then announced that the counties of St. Joseph and Manhall would go into joint convention for the nomination ot' candidates for senator and representative. jfof a! fJeiiTmtien Fst. Joncpti and Marahall Oouatlefi During the forenoon, negotiations between the two d legations failed to come to a 'decision as to which county should have the senator, both claiming it. There could he no disagreement as to which county was entitled to if. as St Joseph county bad the lasJ senator, ami by every rale of usage, right and fahr dealing Marshal was cntil led to the candidate. The convention assembled immediately after the adjournment of the other ei nventions, and organized hy the election of Marens L. Smith, of Manhall, as ehairman, and A. P Miller, of St. Joseph, secretary. Jas. Davis, of St Joseph, presented resolutions condemnatory of the Kankakee drainage law, and the proposition that the state assume the Wabash A Erie eansl debt. The same gentleman als r . 1 :i letter from one Lueius Hubhard, who subsequently loomed up as a candidate for senator, wherein he pi. dged himself, if elected, to vote and act in accordance with the spirit of the resolutions adopted. Dr. Sherman, of Marshall, thought that as there was a difference of opinion between the two delegations relative to tne claim of eseh county fr the candidate for senator, that said difference had bettet be settled then and there. St. Joseph county replied to this :ippropriate motion by announcing th i name of Lucius Hubbard, of South Bend, as a candidate for senator. Col. Sumner. II. I. Thayer and Charles Gregg, of Marshall, were also put in nomination. Atk ins n. of Marshall, said we are entitled to the candidate, and that St. Joe OUgfat to e ncode that fact befori proceeding further. A St. Joe delegate moved to ball t ibr m Bator. Rherman moved that Marshall withdraw to arrange their vote. Carried. :i returning, Sherman announced that Marshall county unanimously presented tkr; name of OoL Thomas Sumner for Senator, and that as Mirdiallwas.bevond all doubt or eavit, entitled to the Candidate, demanded that he be nominated by the convention. His remarks wore met hy the Stereotyped motion from the St Joseph dt legation b )roceel to hllot fi r penator. Sherman r( marked that before taking the bailot

was the proper time for deciding this question; that a motion or proposition I to ballot before d-a idins it was nothing : hut a eac and an insult to every member ol the convention from Marshall eouufv whoie dil..-.io stren-rth was n-.t i v i o j equal to St. tioscpn a. Judfitc Egbert again moved to I. allot for BCWator by counties. A division was finally called, and when the vote was taken the confusion and turbulence of the convention was so great that the chair could not decide whether the motion was earned or not; for which he was not to blame, as nobody else could tell. After a good deal of chin music had been expended, a new deal was ordered, and the secretary, a young man from South IJ ml. (the regular secretary have gone home,) announced that the motion to ballot for senat r w.is adopted by 28 to 24, and the chair de cided accordingly ; but before any farther proceedings could be had. (.'apt. A. Johnson, of this place, said he was not satisfied with the count that the proposition was certainly defeated by two majority; and in this position he was sustained by C. C. Buck and others who had counted the vote, and lie therefore demanded another division on the question; bot the chairman, whr.se fear of the St. Joseph and Bonrbon delegations overcome his better judgment, decided that if the cunt was wrong, having' been announced, it must stand. This decision WOUld enable a dishonest or incompetent secretary to override and th irart the will of the entire Convention, a fact which was very plainly intimated by a number of the spcaken. The cause of the great struggle on this point was. that if the ballot was taken, rV. ,h s.ph being the stronger county, would nominate their man, leaving Marshall county in pretty much the same fix as a musquito would he if trod upon hy an elephant. Erwin, of Bourbon, thought that if St. Joe wanted the candidate thev oujrhl to have it; for what reason he did not say. A St. Joe delegate wanted li harmony" in support of their man. j ro' ably. II. 1. Penning, from Chicago, said it WSJ strange passing strange 'twas wonderful that St. Joe should demand the candid;;' e. when not a delegate (Vom that COUntV had dared to SaV that thev Br - el were entitled to it for any reason whatever. Marshall had never treated Fulton and Starke in that way, when they were linked together for repsosentative purposes ; and no other county than St. Joe wad ever known to he guilty of such ',ross injustice and downright mean. nesa, and he was crlad that they knew it. A good deal of wincing on the jairt of St. joe. A. V. Cap- n, of Plymouth, moved that as the call was for a mass convention, the ballot be taken accordingly. Pnconccaled indignation and abhorrence depleted on the eounteiianees of the St. doc delegation, who were supposed to be in the minority. The chair decided the motion out of order. A delegate from St. Joe said they were opposed to Pol. Sumner because he had opposed the nomination of Gen. Packard, which raid delegate seemed to think was the one particular sin that should never be forgiven. Cant. Johnson replied that Col. Sumner had opposed the nomination of Gen. Packard, and he had an undoubted right to (1 so; thai support of Gen. Republican faith; and that nehad the same right to Iiis sentiments on that point as the hundred-; of other good Rf publicans who had that day expressed a wish that another than (.Jen. Packard might bo nominated. All of which prove ! that Johnson's head was level Judge Egbert thought the remarks of the gentlemen from Manhall in very had taste, probably beeau:;e they were not in favor of his .son-in-law for senator. Sherman again moved to vote as a mam convention, and was hooted at bv St. Joseph. Atkinson, of Manhall, said the call was for a mass convention, and it was an unheard of wrong to undertake t make anything else of it. Dr. llnuld. of Arges, deserted his friends, and went over to the ens ny, in favor of the delegate vote. The chair decided this was not a deleg itc convention and at a later stage of proceedings decided that it reeu a dilegate convention, and that the vote must be taken by 0 -unties. Erwin, of Bourbon, wanted to know whether Jt hey cane' up there as fools .r boys. Nobody offering to impart to him tin- desired information, he gradually subsided. At this stage of proceeding a general -mash-up seemed almost unavoidable. Sherman moved that Marshall withdraw from the convention. He said that St. Joseph had violated every principle of right and justice, and were determined to apply the gag because they bad the power; ami that if they were to he insulted and trampled upon in the Convention, they could do no better than to leave. The Marshall delegation then with drew with the ex cption of the Pourbon delegation and one or two others. Pol. Samuel ittempetd to pour oil upon the troubled waters, but the tak was too great, and he failed. St. Joseph east 29 votes for Hubbard, and when Marshall was called, H. t. Thayer responded that their chairman had been instructed not to cast th V ti ofthe county, and that they did not Wish to be considered as having anspart or lot in that nomination. The chair decided thai as Hubbard had received a majority ata the votes east, he was duly nominated: Wext in order was the nomination for joint representative. A delegate from Marshall proposed that as St Joe had already taken that which did not belong to thorn, they could finish the job by taking the representative als . Charley Gregg said that Marshall had been gagged and trampled up in. The chair called him to ( nh r, but he continued in the sams strain for some time, denouncing the unjust and unfair manner in which the minority had been treated. Lie also denounced the Pour boa delegation for the part they had taken in the outrage, an I charged that tiny were acting in e seerf with St. doe by a preconcerted arrangement thai Parks should have the nomination for joint representative The St. -Ton delegates were plainly informed that as they had made the nomina ion. they might sleet their man if tin y c ul 1. After considerable skirmishing and recrimination, B. G. Thayer's motion to adjourn for two woekn was carried without, opposition; and the motion was afterwards amended to meet in Plym

j outh instead, of Lakeville as originally

state. i. j As the few remaining ones were glad , to get out. a motion to adjourn w.is car ried by a rush to the dot r. lo attempt to describe the excitement, ind the indignation of ail the participantS would ho useless, as it couldnot be transferred to paper. We have endeavored to 'ive an outline of the proceedings, and nothing more We have attended several conventions in our time; but all others were as nothing compart d to this. In the language of the prise ring, it was a 'rattling mill.'' which nothing short of actual observation would enable anyone to properly appreciate. wmm ii i.iiunnai WniLS t the Wanatah convent! ins wi had the pleasure oi" meeting Mr. T. J. Wood, of Crown Point j Mr. Merrifi Id and Mr. Skinner, of Valparaiso; Mr. Barnet, of Pulaski county, and hosts of Democratic friends and acquaintances from all parts of Laporte countv, including the editors ofthe Argvs and raür EdITOBJAL e vinnents are necessarily deferred until next week. Our report, elsewhere in this paper, is probably more complete than an' that will be published this week. We never before saw as much want of harmony and fraternal fee ling in political conventions as there, but of this vre will speak more fully in the future. A Cheup Tricic. The Huntington Democrat of last week says : A bill passed the house at Washington, a few days sinee, professedly for the reduction ofthe (axes, at the birth of whieh the little deniairo'iu CT. who represents this district in congress acted in the double capacity ot accouchcr and godfather. The bill is prcnounced a cheet and a swindle bv the ml leading papers ofthe country, and it is t i the credit of the Democratic n;emhers that they voted against it. The leading Republican paper of St. Louis say? of it : Under pretense of reducing taxes it adds to the burdens which tin; people have to bt-ar. It is a vulgar demagogue's trick, designed to secure some shadow of pretense tli.it taxation w is being materially reduced, while in fact the taxes are increased by many of its own features Prom Indiana, Cohort, Orth. Packard, Tyner and Williams, voted for the trick a very extraordinär' vote for men ftom that state. From the northwestern states there were fourteen votes recorded for this deUiagi gue's dodge. and only half of these votiuti the other way Would have changed the result, for the majority was only seven. Pxplanati ds of these votes will now be in order until after election. Pretending to reduce the cost of sugar, it only reduces the duty on raw sugar and molasses, leaving all sugar in form fit ibr use to bear as heavy duty a before; the remitted tax now paid to the government will therefore go to the sugar refiners, if the bill passes It gives to the sugar rentiers bigger profits and to the government less revenue. .....i jt cheats the people with the idea that t'ieir taxes are to DO reouceu, aueu in fact it takes their money from them all the same, only giving it to retiners instead ofthe treasurv. In return for Br these reductions, duties have been added or increased on articles just as much needed as those from which they have pretended to remove them, and in the nd it wiil he found that the taxes have be D increased on the people rather than decreased. Whether the bill will he reported to the senate, is to be doubted. Intended only as an elect ionccrine; trick to enable men to make a show of reducing taxes without giving to the people any real relief, it will serve that purpose equally well whether it ever passes or not. Every day furnishes us some indication ofthe returning senses of the people by their desertion of radical ranks. The Wooster (Ohio) Democrat says: Seventeen men who have hitherto unifotmly acted with the radical part-, ca.ne without aay solicitation to the Democratic primary election in this place, and pledged themselves to vote the Democratic ticket this fall. We met one of them on the street aiV rwnrds and he said to us " 1 am sixty years of age. and have never voted a Democratic t icket in my life, but if God spares me till fall, I will vote it. The nigger husidcss is more than 1 can stand. Badicssltsnaa Condemned. Viewed in a partisan seiSC, the election of yesterday was full id' sirnilieanee. Aside from local politics, whieh have nothing realy of a partisan character in them, there was a national issue which cannot be ignored. Vi hy did the rural Republicans manifest so much indifference? Why has the state been carried for the fourth suee sive time, and by BO enormous :i majority, in the face of President (i rant's success with the finances. W e think that the answer to these questions can be found in the acts of Congress. The people are not content with what is doing at Washington. They disapprove of the gigantic strides the national legislature is taking towards an absorbtion of all p wer in the rc public. They think it about time the usurpation of congress shall cease. Some seinhlanee of Peal power is deinanded by the pie of this state, ifho do not pr. pose to permit congress fo infii t pains ami penalities upon their directly ehescn officers, and in other ways deprive this great oommon wealth of every right of government. In measure, the displeasure of the people was manifested vestcrdav bv anatftv. Next Noremtx r we shall be disappointed if they do not manifest it by casting a lull vote and giving an enormous majority against the powers that he. .ur York Tckgraph, Braails snor crop is a failure. n ihle.fr. sre decimating Maine's crop of shee.
