Aug. 6th. Circuit court being in session at the court house, the convention met at the j office of The Plymoi th Democrat, and organized by the election of Jl.

V. t. an alkenburg moved that ; two set of delegates be selected, one for thc congressional, and one for the judicial an! senatorial conventions. Judge Jacoby thought that one set of delegates with coutingc uts. would serve the purpose better. M. A. O. Packard agreed with the judgo, and the motion was j withdrawn. A motion was adopted that all the townships in the county, which have not made their nominations tor teernahin of- ! lean be raqneated todj so on Satwrdaj Aug. 20th. M. A. O.

The ''People'" Ticket. The ticket nominated by the people's convention on the oöih ult., is probably as good as could have been expected, considering the hopelessness of the prospect.

Mr. Bender, for representative, is a , lawyer of ordinary ability, pM6tag J more of political honesty and candor : than is generally found in the person of ; ; a Radical iitb-iaN. lie wns (bnaorlv 1 I a Democrat, and has not forgotten all thl !'ciplesof honesty and patriotism j IcarneJ in lus earlv associations yr. Kejeer, for treasurer, was at one time a county commissioner, in which position he failed to develop any unusual abilities as a public oilicer. His competitor, Mr. Soicc, will beat h:m so badly that he will be glad to forget that lie w;s in the race at all. Mr. Atkinson, for clerk, is a mor" chant doing business in Maxenkuekee. He was elected trustee of the township J tw or three times, of course partly by Democratic votc.i ; but th3 Democrats, finallv united, and laid him out. He is a faithful attendant at the party conven0 m tions and caucuses, and is very zealous in support of his party, lie voted for Ins present competitor, 1). McDonald, when he ran for representative, after resigning to (ibreak nn the Legislature' as was charged bv the ItepuLUcan. He diJ tnis "f to pl,ow his 0PPsuiou to me riueentn amcnoment, ano 1 the manner in which his party was at tempting to carry it through. We hope he has not changed his views on the subject. Daniel Barber, for auditor, is a good citizen an old resident of the county man whom his party would never have thought of nominating if there bud been a possibility ol his election ; not that he is unworthy, but that he is not the kind of man to be popular with those who hold the nominations in the palms of their hands. His qualifica- j tions are doubtful. W. Kelly, for sheriff, is i resident of this town. a blacksmith by trade, and is probably the bet nomination that was made. He is generally right, exeeptlng, always, Iiis abominable polities. Peter Lowe, for recorder, will not ,,e C:tIk'd Open to record very much He lire in Walnut township, which a about all we know about hiin. It vas attempted by some of the Speakera in the convention to impress upon the minds of the "people" there nssambl d the great importance attaching to the office of commissioner. It is therefore, probable that in making I their nominations for that office the' did their evol best. Mr. Bchroeder, j in the Fir.-t district, has long been of 'the opinion that the county was losing vast sums annually by failing to elect him to the olhce for which he is now a candidate. Mr. Hoham, in the Seeon 1 district, is a go-ahead business man. who has several times been a candidate for office, and as often been defeated. The "people" being in faTOr of retrench ment and reform, it is rather surprising that they nominated Bl Iloham fur that particular office. He v as in favor of a policy in connection with the building of the new court- ; house that would have increased the coat of the improvement more than live thousand dollars, without any cor responding benefits.

All thinps considered, the ticket might have been worse, and should have been better. .Vunt of Harmony Among the Itctrt'MclierM. To prove, if thought by any that ad ditional proof is needed, that wc have not overstated the inharmonious condition of the Radical Ilcl'ormera and Ketrenchetl in Marshall county, we copy the following from thc " Bourbon Corn -j -oT'denee" of the Marshall County R jjulHrnn, published in its i&sue of last week : Bot RBOX, Ind., August 3. Bo-Urboa is enjoying a reasonable i amount of ouiotness now, and peace conventions are all passed, and Plynionth received about all the n min.ij tions, of any worth, at hast; but it I was by the mostcnentic, unuernanuea , .- . 1 . wirepulling that the influential! of Plvii i j .I moutn are capable of, and as there is seldom a hard clap of thurder without another to follow, so the after clap is to i come yet. When a party becomes m ! oorrapt thai they are bent on rule or i u!n, then they are like the southern .raitom their end is nigh As f'.r i Pourbon tow nship, we haven't any men j who are well enough qualified to compete With Ii' ltT8, Or in'n Who ?rC Considered as atari din;; candidates for anything and everything that INM ahuig, Bad if they do not get just what they want, all they have to do is to boil the i whole thing, and defeat the will of the ! people if possible. I was going to say Uourbon township has several offices to be filled this fall, Buch as justice of the peace, township trustee, two constable, a few supervisors, a fence-viewer, frogpclter, etc., besides some offices of minor importance Now I .uppose as BoJrboB township is sure of Pepr.blican victory, the office geci'.erB of Plmouth will be after them. Well, aa Bourbon intends to keep thc peace under all cirouitnc,j'. and will

never kick up row froai any pretext whatever, whether it is run over or not, we will let them have these also.

I suppose if Bourbon township would 1 . ,. n I OBIT do some electioneering this Mil. j ... . , . , , I and would give bonds with good secur- i iW JU .11 ,nl,l! .,,...., 11 . i . i i. y towards carrvinir the election this fall, . . - .. I tli.it P1vmnnt.1i wouhl lio willJinT to lot us have one constable and perhaps a fence-viewer. As Bourbon i not able to carry home the rammer, if tt ere should be a-y rally this fall, she must stand back in the sbadeand wait. We are gl td Plymouth can throw itself a "k upon its own dignity and ask no help of Bourbon township. But, friends can you not spare i few office-seekers from th re to run our township affairs ? At least send us Messrs. Thayer, Gregg, Johnson, Sherman and a few other influentials. It wmy ,e , rcat accommodation to us. A4auNtmont of tlic State Iclt. Morton claims for himself and the Republican party the credit of paying j the State debt, although three millions and a half still remain unpaid. "J. C. Burnett, deputy Auditor of Stat?," as he styles himself, in a circular just issued upon "The Indiana State Debt, its origin, progress and payment," while studiously endeavoring to make it appear that thc Republican party has wiped i. out of existence, makes concessions that damage his assumptions, lie savs : In December, 1865, the Legislature, in special session, patlftcd the ' State Debt bill." providing a tax for the specific purpose of paying the State debt and describing the manner in which the redemption should be made. It was that act, then, according to the i showine of the Denntv Anditnrnf Slate that provided for thc cancellation of the public debt of Indiana. Xow we have another witness , a Republican witness, j permitted him, in 1867, to pay an in come tax on over 20,000. This should be satisfactory evidence that Colonel Hubert knows "how it was done. We give his explanation just as he prints it in the Gazette : Wehd long been of the opinion that under the nets of 1846 and IS 17. known as the Butler bilks, the State of ! Indiana was bound to make eonie ad- j j9tnent with her creditors by which she would pay her debt, or satisfactorily arrange it by the 19th day of January, 18G. Unaer our construction of the 1 law, the State could preserve her honor j and integrity in no other Way. lleliev ing then that the State would do what she was in honor bound to do, and knowing that any step the Legislature would take in that direction would en hance the value ot Indiana stocks, wc bought all the stocks we were able to. at the tl ien price. This however, was j ovcr Uvo vcars ayfa. we Wcro guC agent. 3 yvernor Morton differed from as in :his eontroction of the law, as wiU be I seen by his message to the Legislature ; . was introduced into the Senate by Mr. j p . n . 5rdlej, the DtmocrfrtK Senator from Foj(f; About the same time a bill for I a similar purpose was introduced bv Mr. pranham in the House. dr. Bradley's bill passed the Senate by a large major- j ity every prominent Senator of both pomes voting or u. i nis nu wa I .1. .H.. J 1 til I movu us i ne uuuaon om 'Mr Branhsun bill pissed, the House, loth partus t oting for it, but ceuld not be passed through the Senate, and the Senate bill could not be passed through the House. A committee of 'Free Couforssiee1 being I ppointed by each House, they a;;reed to take both bills, and by taking the good features of each, make, in this way, the beat bill they could. With this understanding i the two hill were placed in our hands by this committee, with the above instructions, and the present law to pay thc State debt is the result. ''It is unnecessary at this time to discuss the merits of the Senate and House bills; the offspring of both has met the approbation of the entire people of the State, and has abttOSt entirely paid off the State debt." It thus appears that Morton does not deserve any credit for thc adjustment of the State debt. It was not hi ar- . . WW i i rr . r: no nt. tie tooK a UMterent view . . T I' I I I' I IMI I I I I'll. i rI aa e I I . . 1 . . ... 1 11.1 I ; ; Sun's (jtit," prevailed. So, then ae- . cording to Deputy Auditor Bennett th. i ' J ' State Debt bill" of 1865 paid what has been paid of the State debt, and according to Colonel Hudson, a Demo- , n cratie Senator introduced the )ill in the Senate, "every prominent Senator of Parties voting for it," that the bill also passed the House, uhotk ftartie voting for it." and that the bill thus paseed "has almost entirely paid off the publie d bt." These ore the facts in regard to the adjustment of the State debt, sustained by Republican witness. -They priek the bubble that the Republican leaders have gotten up over vhe payment of thc State debt by Republicans, and that bubble burst. id it tVW them without a tingle claim for the further support and confidence ot the people. It taken from them the hat plank to which they were clinging with the desperation of drowning men Statr. Sentinel.

The national guards are to defend the laasparta, which it will have helped to render unassailable. Forty thousand men taken lroB its ranks and added to the proaent garrison will be more than enough to make an active and vigorous defenso against an enemy occupying an extended front.

The congress has passed and the president has signed an army bill, after the 1st of Jhlv. 1-71. fixing tlie number oi a men at 30,000. '! he expenses of each man per year are not kees than 62,000. making the expense of the whole 1 ill $60.000,000 per annum. In the Dem- ! a a ocratic days of Mr. Buchanan this would have nearly defrayed the expenses of the entire government. We d'd BOt Iben have over 12,000 men. and do not need any ni-.re now. The trembling of out peace military establishment is i monstrous outrage upon tho people. It has h a u done partly to find a pretext 1 for the employment of tlie thousand su j pernumerary officers who arc pensioners , noon the country, for arhieh they renj der no equivalent. We are told that the income tax can not be repealed: that ' it is necessary to defray the expenses d'j the government. If we would disband two-thirds of this useless army, we i could get alone without the income aud i other taxes which oppress the people. , j The Democracy are a unit on this quesi tion. They are opposed to a large standing army, and believe it not only unnecessary, hut dangerous to the liberj erties of the p ople. ; - Tlio Foreign Voto. There is one fact which we desire the ! Irish and German citizens of Louisville 1 to remember. The Radicals have taken the ignorant plantation negroes of this country, who were born and have lived all their lives in slave quarters among the cane-brakes, and have not only made them voters without any probation, cost or preliminary training, but have made such a stringent law to protect the negro's right to vote that it will enable him to c;ist half a dosen votes with im- j punity, where a white man would be punished for easting more than one. While the vote of a white man may be safely challenged by any one, it is a work of danger to attempt the BBBSC thing with a negro. While an employer may threaten, discharge, an 1 starve a white man who disobeys bis political dictation. -och conduct, or that which looks like such conduct, toward a negro, i visited with the harshest punlaaamaa- t tlm jnl.li fllil.' tlie H.-idl- ' . . - , eal Congress IS tampering With the ..-it.ir-.i;- iil.m Lava to make nttur il:7inaturali itioii laws to ma n iturai..a tion much more difficult, and voting more dangerous t the (oreign-born cit iaen than it ever was before. I ho bill to obstruct naturalization, which lows just passed both Houses, is. however, mild in comparison with tne infamous, Know-Nothing, Conkling bill, which would have been adopted lott f.-rj the caution inspired by the opposition of the great Ltamoc ratio party. The bill would have rendered naturalixation and the right of suFrge attainable toaverj tew onli of the poorer inamigrants.
