There is some talk of forming a new county from parts of Greene, • , Martin, Lawrence and Monroe, with Owensburg as its capital. '-. « ^- Warkex Tate who shot and killed William Lore in the court-house at Indianapolis a few weeks ago will not be tried nutil next spring.

The Vermont Legislature has substituted the State lor the National flag over the capitol. Suppose that had happened in South Carolina. After all the partizin cry about a “Democratic Congress crippling the public service,” the estimates for this year are less than the appropriation made at the last session of Congress. It shows that before' the Democrats got control of the House, the Republicans were annually squandering millions of the people’s money unnecessarily. > The Indiana Cremation Society was recently organized at Indianapolis, with some two or three dozen members, as a nucleus. We have no doubt that within ten years cremation as a means of disposing of the dead will be very generally practiced in the cities. It is proposed to build a furnace by Iho Indianapolis society at an early day, and it is estimated that an ordinarv body will be reduced to ashes in about two hours, at au expense ol about four dollars. <. The total radical vote on Congressmen in Pennsylvania this year was 288,864. In 1876 it was 378 927. The failing off in t vo years thus appears to be only 90,000. The Democratic vote on Congressmen this year was 289,990 or 1,126 more than the Republican vote. The Green backers polled 112,610- The 283,864 radical votes elected seventoen Congressmen; the 239.990 Democratic votes elected nine, and the t2,f>W Greenback votes elected one. These?, ^arsajarginstructive. In less than an hour after the UnT ted States Senate convened un the 4tfa inst.. Senator Voorhces, introduced a resolution inquiring into the expediency of making the trade dollar a le-gal-tender for all debts, public and pii*a(C7and of providing for its rccolnage into standard silver dollars ot ■■■■■■■ quent Senator is going to fulfill the -lea ing the recent canvass. We need a f^v more of the Voorhees stripe ip the Senate. The New York and New England bankers have bad another meeting, and to them, according to reports, things looked lovely. My. Cox, of New York, made the speech of the occasion, and expressed the opinion that “resumption is the crowning act 'Of •be “war.” We think so,Tor it has occasioned ten times more distress than the war. It has made more idlers and paupers and criminals, and helped more Shylocks to levy contributions upon the property of the country. Cox was correct—forced resump tion is the crowning act of the war. --*—■»< —•» » —-. Wade Hampton was elected op Tuesday, the 10lh inst., to the Uuited States Senate by an almost uuaniraous vote of the South Carolina Legislature. Unfortunately, though, for his appreciation of it, the honor is conferred at * very unhappy season in the gentleman’s history. It was also on yesterday that he was obliged to submit to the amputation of a leg, injured while out riding a short time since. His condition, though, is said to be favorable, under the circumstances, and his friends rely much upon his unusually vigorous constitution to pull him through a really serious situatiou.

Os the 25th of February, 1779, Vincennes, then a British post, was captured by tho American forces under the command of Col* George Rogers Clark. * It was an important capture, opening up to the Uuited Slates all this Northwestern region, and the citizens of the ancient borough think the one hundredth anniversary of the event is too important to pass by unnoticed ; and are making arangements for the proper observance of the day. It is the intention to secure the presence of President naves and Cabinet, and to make the celebration the most magnificent of any in tho history of the Northwest. -- - -«■» « »- The Petersburg Democrat makes the assertion that it is the best paper published in Pike county and has the largest circulation, whereupon the Press offers the Democrat one hundred dollars to prove it. Forotfrown part we have been running a one-sided fight for some time, and we will now pause and watch the other terriers.— [Boonyiile Standard. If,the Standard is inclined wo will wager him any reasonable amount that we can give him and the Press two in the game and prove beyond a doubt that we have as large a circulation as they have combined. As far as the Democrat is concerned every one knows, who is not as dumb as an oyster, that it contains the moat news. But tb« Standard cur does not put onr challenge as it appeared in the Democrat, or even as it appears in the Press. Is it possible that brother .Stinson, aside from knowing nothing about geography, can not read ? Don’t you want some one to help you out of deep water again, Stint?

The Sopran o Court of last week rendered a decision in a case which went op from (Jarrol county, in volving the rights of a finder in lost property. A girl employed at work In a paper mill found two fifty dollar bills In an enrelope among some waste paper which the owners of the mill had bought to be used in the manufacture of paper. The girl handed the bills to the proprietors of the mill, asking their opinion as to the genuineness of them. The proprietors refusing to return the bills, sui t was brought by the girl for recovery. She obtained judgment in the court below, and the judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court, the court holding that the purchase of money in waste paper by the mill owners did not give them the ownership as against the finder.

Sherman and the Double Standard. Mr. Sherman proposes to reverse and nullify the saving principle of the double standard. lie repudiates the debtor’s op ion; he recognizes the right of the creditor to the option. In office he can abase his trust in the interest of the money lenders, but Mr. Sherman is trot yet superior to law. Congress can close this whole business at once, can put an end to mono-metal-Uni, and especially to Shermanism, by placing the Qoinage of silver dollars on the same footing with gold—leaving thecoinage unrestricted as to amount. It may be necessary for Congress, in order to protect the country against the Secretary of the Treasury during the nine mtmths’ vacation, to paBs such a law duritig the present session.— [Chicago Tribune. Here is a clear declaration that Congress will have to interfere to protect the debtor class against the creditor class. “Shermanism,” with Hayes to back It up is breomiug shamefully defiant, and the demand is that it shall be severely rebuked. Radicalism, Shylockistn, Shermanism and Ilayesism are all of a piece—full of treason, steeped in viieness, obnoxious to the people and opposed to the welfare ol the country. They ought to be balloted and legislated out of existence and buried in the same hole, face downwards,—[ Sentinel.

tial Republican! at the Highlands who fiat they were Radicals and Northern Negroes. Fortunately for the country, facts are coming to the surface from colored witnesses showing up radicalism in its true light. Intelligent men have known irom the first that the intense solicitude manifested by the radical party for the negro had about as much heart iu it as a wolfs friendship for the lamb; and this fact is getting at last pretty deep down in the understanding of the average colored voter, North and South,as the following Bos jon special to the New York World proves: Bosto .v, Dec. O —The fact that the Republican leaders in Washington are preparing to make war upon the South because of alleged interference with rhe right of suff -age brings into prominence a number of cases' here in Bos ton where negroes have been bulldozed by their employers and compelled to vote the ticket a~ -*— * - • of Tnflucn*nrrewl y-nmnt Ke barhUud^ey. compelled to vote as their employer! dictated or lose their places. To-day a well known colored citizen published a card in which he says that he hat voted the Republican ticket for thir teen yenra and served in the late war At the last election he voted for Gen oral Bu .ler. Since then he has beer persecuted and proscribed by his for raer Republican friends, and was no permitted to participate in a Republi can caucus in Ward 9. He says; “I find that this very Republican party have not acted in good faith, and only wanted to free ns from slavery at the south to that we might be greatei slaves to the republican party at tht North.’ There is no disputing this testimo ny, and it ought to have the effect upon radical bloody shirt organa to modify their clamor with regard to Southern election outrages, which are chiefly fiction, aud manufactured to ordei for a m ost villia nous put pose. A very calm review of Hayes’ allusiou to Southe rn elections in his message is mado in the columns of the New York World, which completely upsets the radical superstructure of falsehood and fiction,,and is well calculated to produce a reaction in the miuds of those who have been disposed to accept the reports as truthful. Tho World save: Now that President Hayes has soi emnly made what he calls the “record’ of the November elections at tbi South, and especially in Lonisiam and South Carolina, the burden of i Presidential wail, let ns see what th« results of those elections were. It Maryland the Republicans gained « seat; in Alabama they helped the Na tionalc to defeat a Democrat; in Vir ginia they retained their solitary member, and by an increased major ity; in North Carolina they kept th< member they s-lrendy had, gained an other, and by (he wiihdrawal of Can aday (Rep.) is the Third District ir favor of Russell (National) secured ihe election of a representative whorr both Butler and Kearney ought tc approve In Texas they helped a Re publican candidate of two years age to beat Hancock (Dem.) in the Fitlt District. In Florida they kept theii member.- lln Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi they had nc members to lose, and did not apparently attempt to gain anv. For in Arkansas they made no nominations, in Georgia they lot Ibo contest go b\ default in seven out of nine districts and in Mississippi they only ventured to contest the seat of one Democrat out of six, and that in a district deso laled by the yellow fever. In Ken tacky, out of four districts which they seriously congested, they held theii ground in one and made gains in t wo In Tennessee they held one forinei Republican district and lost the othei by making a weak nomination. Fi naily, by giving up Weat Virginia at a hopelessly Democratic State, they probably lost a fair chance of wionius at least one seat. With this record the whole theory of Southern election outrages tumble! to pieces, and brings those who have constructed it, for effect upon tbi Non h into contempt. Pro position to Destroy the Part “Give the devil bis due,” is nil re well, but then who would be leirt vote the Republican ticket?—[Ex.

Washington Letter. |[Fnm wr ErgularQnmrcspondent] * WH8HIS6TON, D. C., Dec. 1«, 1878. , Co ingress, or at toast the Democratic , end ofirt, has shown unusual alacrity ia | getting down to the practical work of ' the session, Four of the thirteen appropriation bills hare already passed the House, and one or two more will follow before the holiday recess,which ia almost unprecedented promptness. No time has been wasted in wind exercise, and no springing of political discussions for party capital has been allowed. White the Democrats are folly prepared to give the other side all they want of the Southern question, should it be opened ip the House, they do not propose to assume the responsibility ot thrusting such an unseemly row in the way of public business. The Republican Senate has not doue so well. The programme of the sltriekers was to precipitate the political warfare in both Houses and keep i t up, and in the Senate it has succeeded partially, notwithstanding the (Set that Mr. Edmunds and some of the shrewder ones do not approve.the policy. There is considerable difference ol opinion among the Republicans as to the wisdom of making-this onslaught at this time, especially as the Democrats are likely to bring ont all the facts, aud in the eud get the best of it.

This feeling was one of the inducement* to Senator Edmunds to push his Electoral bill and engage the Seuate in the consideration of it. He got it up early in the week, but made little progress. The discussion as far as it went was rather unfavorable to the plan proposed. Its principle feature ia the ultra States rights doctrine enunciated by Joe Bradley on the Elec* toral Commission, making the certifi cate of a Governor final. No matter vrhat frauds may have been committed' to arrive at the result certified, Con* gross would have no power to “go behind the returns,” Senator Jones of Florida, made a severe dig at this provision of the bill, showing how great; the inducement would be for States to adopt the pernicious returnling board system of changing the actual lesufts, as in Louisiana, from which there would be no appeal. Another feature of Senator Edmunds’ bill is a change in the time of holding the election, making it a month earlier. This might be wisdom as it would shorten the campaign, do away with the influence of October States as the elections now occur, and give more time for a judicial settlement of any disputes in the different States. The Democrats are wary of any scheme coming front Edmunds, who so successfully tricked them iu the Electoral Commission business, and -look for a cat somewhere concealed in the mailbag. Senator Beck looks upon the measure as a legalization of all the frauds committed in the last Presideu tiiil election,, There are some people who feel ambitious to sec the ‘Mraud first, triumphant” made doubly conspicuous in being likewise the last. Mr. Blaine has spoken his piece. The Senate has not ret passed his

resolution, but it was best to permit Blaine to fire oiTthe barrel-full of wad with which he has been cramming himself, lie was ill good voice and high feather for the occasion, and in anticipation of an animated discussion, oti both sides, the galleries were filled to overflowing, while members of the House packed themselves in upon the tiioor of the Senate like sardiuea in a box. The Speech bore evidences o! busily engaged at bis desk turning oyer the leaves of the big books before him as indifferently as though he were in a library all by himself, lilaine did not prance np and down the aisles and kick over chairs as he used to in the House. The bull in a china shop style of oratory is just a little out of place amoug the grave and reverend seigneurs of the Senate Chamber, which places James G-, at a disadvantage The substance of Blaine’s tirade are the charges of election “outrages” in the South; that the entire colored vote of the South is the property of the Republican party, of which the rightful owuer has been robbed by force and fraud; and that by reason of these things the white vote of the South, acquires disproportionate power. Without reference to his reckless, unwarranted statements, the logicafconelusion of Blaine’s remarks would seem to be that lie wants to take back the boon of suffrage given to the negro unless the votes are counted solidly for the Republicans. There is no need of rei'erating the fact that the negroes do not all vote the Republican ticket. It is well known that thousands of them freely vote the other way, and that many more would do so but for brutal mobbing by the more ignorant lawless elements of their own luce. Mr. Blaine siys his party’is the friend or the negro, yet in the language of the Post, what but swindling and plundering have the Republicans done for him since he became a voter, wbat use has been made of him except to help carpet-bag thieves to fatten on the plundered white people of the South; And from these whites Mr. Blaine says the negro has “nothing to hope and everything to dread.” It will bs a sorry day for the millions of poor, homeless; dependent blacks if they shall imbibe Blaine’s false doctrine of hate; and a still sadder one if the men who own the land—the men of property, brains, character and influence in the South—shall as-ume the unnatural and unchristian attitude which Mr. Blaine assigns them. Senators Thurman and Lamar made some very pointed remarks off hand in reply to Blaine, and both will further participate in the discussion which is not yet disposed of. The convincing statements and temperate tone of the Mississippi Senator was a great disappointment to the agitator1-. Other Congressional subjects are not numerous or important this week. A recess will probably be taken from Uie l&h to January 2nd. Rumors of a Cabinet change are again rife, and there is little doubt that AttornevGeneral Devons is shortly to retire, though just how the vacancy will be arranged, or what other changes this will entail, cannot now be foretold. Cockling will fight against the confirmation of the New York Custom Uonse appointments, and is likely to secure their defeat Phono. The Treasury Department has proclaimed with great gnsto, nearly every month for a ye%r past, a decrease of from one to two millions it\ the public debt, and yet Secretary Sherman, in his annual report, is constrained to set forth that there has been an increase in the past year amounting to the enormous sum of. 16,376,368.07 in the Interest paid on the public debt. The principal decreasing, bonds being runded at a lower rate of interest, and yet reqniring a greater gross sum to pay the interest, is a radical style of financiering not understood by people generally.

Peterson’* Magazine is already on oar table for January, a triumph of art, literature, and fashion. Either of the two steel enjrrarings “The Playmates,” or ‘-The Letter at the Gale,” is worth the price of 4fae number. TJ»n the treble-sized colored pattern, “Persian Embroidery in Applique, &c.” the very newest thing out, would be cheap at fifty cents. As for the mammoth colored fashion-pla'e, it ia simply unrivalled; and besides this, there are some thirty other fashion illustrations. Then, too, there is a Supplement, with a full-size pattern for a Winter Mantilla, the very latest style. To praise the stories in “Peterson” is unnecessary; they are always original, and always the best. Two powerful novelets are begun, one by Ann 6. Stephens, another by Jane G. Austin; and in addition there are stories by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Rebecca Harding l)avi«, Frank Lee Benedict, “Josiah Allen’s Wife,” Ac. Now is the time to subscribe. “Peterson” is unquestionably the cheapest and best of the ladies’ books. The priceJs only two dollars a year. To clubs xitis cheaper still, viz: 4 copies for 16.50, with an extra copy gratis to the person getting up the club, or 5 copies for $8.00, and both an extra copy and a superb premium engraving, “Christ Blessing Little Children.” Specimens of the magazine sent gratia to persons wanting to ret up clubs.
