Prohibition will be agitated in the Indiana Legislature, this winter. p The, New York Son predicts that there will be no third party in 1880, bin that all the elements opposed to, * the Republican party will be united to pnt that party out of power. m rffe— »-— The Greencastle Banner publishes another double-leaded editorial urging Southern negroes to come North. It ■would please the Republican party amazingly to hare about 15,000 accept the advice and locate in Indiana. A Washington dispatch states that President Hayes has not a9 yet committed himself on the question of Bayard Taylor’s successor. He awaits (he return of Secretary Evarts. It is believed, however, that Governor llartranft has the inside track. According to the Bnrlington * Hawkeye, the State of Nebraska this year raised twenty-sis million bnsbels of wheat; forty-sis million bushels of corn; nine million bushels of oats; three million bushels each of barley, rye and potatoes, and shipped five hundred thousand head of cattle and seven hundred thousand head of hogs. The Republicans are at their old tricks again, and will endeavor to get an appropriation of half a million or so, ostensibly for the department ol justice, but really for a corruption fund to be used in the campaign ot 1380., The Democrats should stay at Washington until the crack of doom rather than consent to the appropriation. >

The Blaine Committee are trying very hard to get out of the scrape into which they have been led by the Maine Senator's “splurgy effort,” as the Cincinnati Gazette characterized Jim’s bloody-shirt speech. They will take advantage of the decision that the appropriation for investigating the Presidental question is not available for other investigations, and ask to be discharged. General Garfield, of Ohio, although one of the leaders of the Republican party in Congress, uttered a sentiment in a speech in Congress a few days ago, which every patirot will indorse, when he said: “The man who would attempt 'to get up a political excitement on old sectional issues port of the honntrv, but the man who wants to gain the good-will of the country mnst put himself in line with its' leading thoughts, and that is the restoration of business." * The Mundo Politico, a Spanish paper, says: “It seems that General Grant was guilty of excess in the banquet given him by the premier Canovaa De Castillo, at his residence; so r-jtsuch so that he presented amuch-to-1 be lamented spectacle a few hours later in the interior of the minister’s Vox at the royal theater. Sncb an exhibition was the only thing wanting to stamp him as unworthy of all the civilities showered upon him." Yes! this inebriate, dead head, free blow dead beat, is representing the black Republican party in the world ol statesmen. - -»«-<». » m - Tee Potter Committee will commence an investigation of the cipher telegrams immediately upon re-assem-bling after the holidays,' Mr. Potter woulji have brought the matter before the committee earlier, but for the fact that Ben Butler, who is supposed to know more about the Presidential - crookedness than all the rest together has been unable to attend the sittings of the committee until now. Tiiden, 4 Pelton, Marble, Coyle and all others who are supposed to know anything concerning the cipher telegrams will be put npon the stand. It is supposed that Butier also has a rod in pickle for the Republican visiting statesmen. Let ufs have the whole troth.

ihe trad« dollar is doomed to go to the melting pot, and will be received only as bullion. The New York Express says that “the trade dollar is a fair illustration of the wisdom and skill the Republicans have shown in theirfinancial dickeringand tinkering. i They have been doctoring the curren* v , j cyeversince they got into power. They issued the legal tenders tinder the plea of national necessity. They established the national banks, giving them enormous privileges and creating a vast monopoly. They inflated the currency till a dollar in paper was worth only thirty-seven cents in coin. They sold bonds payable in legal tenders, but afterwards, to increase the profits of large bondholders and capitalists, under a'pretext of ‘strengthening the public credit,’they made the bonds payable in ‘coin.’ Then they demonetized silver, the money of the country from its origin, the money of the constitution, the money the first Congress made the unit of value, and hatched out this bastard coin for use among the heathen. The silver act changed fbe money standard of the country to gold, which it raised from fifteen to twenty per cent, in valoe, for the sole benefit of capitalists and large bondholders. The history of the national finance under Republican raanipnlaton one of mismanagement, confusion, bad faith and legislation in the inter-, eats of the moneyed class. It brought on the panic of 1873, from- which the country has not yet recovered, and is not likely to recover until the government is placed in Democratic hands.

es, notices of I administratoni and guardians etc., etc., published in some newspaper o f general circulation in the conn ty. if there be one printed and published in the mnnty; and also specifies the fees tliat may be charged for publishing the same. For a long time—so long’, in fact, that the mind of man runneth not to the contrar y— it has been tie custom of officers to patronize the paper that assisted them into office, and of the same political faith. The public expect this, and it '19 rigfht that it should be so, so long as the paper charges no moos than the law allows. Newspapers are necessary ; in fact we can not well do w ithout them. They are the channel through which the peoplo are informed of current events; they lire the exponents of virtueand morality. Therefore they should be sustained by the public. And any newspaper man who is on the eve of suspendency, and has no intereit in the journalistic welfare of other!, bat before going down himself, tries to pat the price of certain work—which does not of right belong to him—down so lowHhnt it will not pay for one-tenth part of the trooble of sotting the type and furnishing the*material, ought to be k icked out of the profession. Such in the On editor of the Petersburg Press, the Dth of last October the voters of Pike county said, by their votes, that the Petersburg Press should not 'have the public printing for the next two years. The Press, not being satisfied; with the voi se of the people, and chafunder i heir strong rebuke, now the unparalleled impudence tc> »ng has propose to publish the delinquent tax list for the small sum of fifteen dot lean, which would hardly pay him for the paper, counting nothing for' his labor. lie makes this proposition knowing I hi it Mr. Bilderback would not let him have the job, and by this mes.ns hoping to m»V:e a little political capital, or “blow Mr, B. up,” as Harrell puts it But this business of “blowing somebody np” has proved a little disastrous to the welfare ol' tho

Press. Harrell proposes to publish the delinquent list for fifteen dollars. Now we desire h m to answer a few questions. Stand up, Emory, and answer the following questions: 1st. If Mr. Crow had been elected Auditor would you have printed the delinquent list for less than what the law would have allowed you ? 2d. If Mr. Crow had been elected Auditor, and we had proposed to him to publish the delinquent list for fifteen dollars, would you not have thought it little and contemptible in us to make such a proposition? 3d. Did not the Press charge the county nearly one thousand dollars for publishing the delinquent list for 18712, and when the Commissioners refused to allow the bill, did it not appeal to the Circuit Court and ittbm compromise me matter ‘oy this county paying nearly seven hundred dollars? 4th. Did you not charge every cent the law allowed you for publishing Sheriff’s sales, and then threaten to pat the unfortunate parties to additional costs if the fees were not paid by a certain time? 5th. Do you not charge administrators and guardians every cent the law allows you for publishing their notices? 6th. Can you not afford to work as cheap for orphan children, widows, and parties who have their lands advertised by the Sheriff as for the county ? If you can, ought not you to pay back to every administrator, guardian and every person whose land you advertised for sale on execution or decree at least seven-eighths of the amount, you charged them ? 7th. Are you a natural fool, or have you occasional spells of insanity ? Now we desire you to answer the above questions. If you answer them in the affirmative, which you are bound to do, it will show you to be devoid of honor or principle, at well as sense. The idea of charging widows and orphans one hundred times more for the same work than you would charge the county is simply ridiculous, and ought to cause you to hide your head in. shame—if you be susceptible of shame. When Mr. Ferguson was Auditor of the county Mr. leslie, then the editor of the Democrat, proposed to publish the delinquent list for about one-half the amount allowed by law; but Mr. F. scouted the idea, and said,

-no, sir; 10 me victors oeiong me spoils. You should not publish it if yon were to pay me fifty dollars, and publish it without cost to the coun ty.” But why should we devote our time and the columns of our paper in. reply to the editor'of the Press? Our readers expect, something better of us, and it is wrong to disappoint them. We promise to pass him by unnoticed in the future. On the Jth of October the voters of Pike county said that the Press should not have any of the public printing for at letsst two years; and :if Mr. Scales or Mr. Bildeiback should forget the injunction of a majority of the voters, and give the Press any printing other than what ilhe law compels them to give it, there would be such a howl that they would call for ihe re cks to fall upon them and hide them from the! • justly enraged constituents. The editor of the Press has made several slanderous nttaeks upon us lately, but his character as a slanderer has been so well established that we have paid; no attention to him. Not long since a certificate, signed! by twelve of the best citizens of Petersburg, certifying that he had uid, was published in the Dkmockat. The signers of said certificate were mostly, if not all, of the stttne political faith as Harrell; but that was no protection against bis slanderous tongue. The editor of a prominent Republican newspaper in an adjoining county snid to mi that the reason he, did not pay attention to Harrell’s slanderous ai-ticles against him was that he (Harrell) was entirely devoid of principle, and a notorious liar. For the same reason are hrfte passed his attacks ayainst 01 unnoticed. We are informed that Hie subscribers of the I'reBS at Arthur got up a petition, and nearly all of them signed lit, reqnesting that

Burning Bread. their paper be stopped; and ell tikis on account of Harrell’s abusive and slanderous editorials. And anthat taking to understand, once for all, _ iutiare.we will not pay any attention whatever to his slang remarks, unless he will prove to the citizens of Petersburg and elsewhere that be wae> not impeached by twelve of his neighbors; that he is not a slanderer, and itbat his character for truth, veraeity and houesty is good. •A quotation from ei-Auditor Quite recently a Nebraska paper contained the following notice: C - The people of Iowa and Nebraska will burn corn this winter. Reason, because of its abundance aud the extortionate rate charged for transportation. Corn can not be shipped, and we have more than we ean use. To the average thinker the Nebraska paragraph is suggestive. In Io wa and Nebraska there is absolutely no market for corn. In Nebraska when the crop reaches 100,000,000 bushels it is quoted at Omaha at 0, and the reason assigned for this state of affairs is that transportation rates are so exhorbitant that the markets of thecountry and of the world can not be reached. The commodity will not pay for transportation and leave any margin whatever to the producer. While corn is worth nothing in Nebraska and Iowa, labor is worth nothing in every portion of the country. Thousands and tens of thousands of men with families dependent upon them can not pnrchase food at any price*, for they have no employment, and hence no money, But we have got gold to par, and resumption is practically inaugurated. We are burning corn; have got bogs to $2 per hundred pounds gross at the feeders’ pens, and the product as near nothing as it has been for twenty years, without buyers—and this is the state of things tho radical party, aided by Shylock financiers, has inflicted upon the couutry. This is the era of prosperity that forced resumption has produced. Bread worth nothing, meat so cheap as to almost stagger belief, industries paralyzed, idlers increasing, labor pleading for employment, hunger, poverty, and rags in ail of the centers of Douulatlon. while John

Sherman insists upon a policy that increases the perils of the situation, and Shylocks rub their bands in exaltation. Under such circumstances burning bread in Nebraska and Iowa can not fail to attract attention. It looks like a crime, but if corn is not burned it will rot. Capitalists will not invest in corn, railroads will not transport it, and millions of idle men and women are too poor to purchase it. Shylocks have forced resumption over wrecked fortunes, prostrate business and paralyzed industries, until the farmers of the west burn their corn while Shylocks foreclose their mortgages and the sheriffs hammer repeats the old, old story of “going, going, gone!" ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECT. [Vincennes Sun. Dec. 31th.] A communication in another column of to-day’s Son advocates the extension of the Cincinnati, Rockport and Southwestern railroad from Jasper; the county seat of Dubois, (to which point it will be completed in a few days) to Vincennes via Petersburg. The article is full of strong points in favor of connecting with the O. & M,. road at Vincennes with the advantage of competing lines and consequent low freights. The advantage also of economy>in the matter of construction, of the road to this point over the extension of the road to Mitchell is suggested. The distance from Jasper to Vincennes is only five or ten miles greater than to Mitchell. The latter, moreover, would be through a very broken, barren and poverty-stricken country, while from Jasper via Petersburg to Vincennes would be through the very garden-spot of the State. The soil is very fertile, splendid timber abounds, and the earth is full of fine seams of coal. A railroad would develop the natural resources of Pike county and make it one of the best counties in the State. From Jasper, here, a road would take in Otwell. Algiers* Petersburg and Monroe City. The cost of construction wonld be the very minimum, for the country is level and timber immediately at hand The difference in favor of constructing this route wonld be thousands of dollars per mile over the route to Mitchell. But then how about advantages in freight rales? This most be a very important consideration. A few months ago we published a comparative table of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4ih classes of freight from New York to

w asningion ana 10 v inceunes, as follows: lit class. 2nd class. 3rd class. 4th class. Washington, 1(1........132....99..80 Vincennes, 115.93 ...CL.51 Difference, 45..40..-.37.!5T This shows tho advantage Vincennes has on freight rates over points along the line of the O. & M., like Mitchell and Washington. Vincennes has competing lines at nearly every cardinal point of the compass. She has direct and quick connection with Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cairo, Evansville and Terre Haute. Here is Petersburg’s and Pike county’s chance, not only to get an Outlet to easy freights, but a through road; for from Rockport to O weusboro is but ten miles, where connection to Nash ville and points South could be had, ■ We hope that tho importance of this road will be duly considered alongtbe line, and that active work will be begun immediately towards securing its construction. In .connection with the above we have received private letters from parties in Rockport and Jasper relating to the above mentioned project or rather so much of it as would come from Jasper to Petersburg and connect with the Worthington and Petersburg road at this place. We have every assurance that this road will be extended as far as Petersburg, should we be able to secure the completion of the W. & P. R. R., consequently it stands every farmer in Jefferson township in hand to lend his assistance to the W. & P, B. R., as undonbtedly its completion will bring the other, forming a junction at this place.

The constantly growing interest of the people in the subject of our country’s history has aroused an earnest demand for a book which shall comprehensively review the nation’s career in a forcible, vivid and truthful manner. In response to this imperative call the publishers, Messrs. Jones Brothers & Co., Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Chicago, determined to issue a book which should in itself illustrate the perfection to which the art ot book-making has attained. They have expended, in its preparation a larger eum of money than was ever before spent upon a similar work, and have produced a volume which, in beauty of typography, binding and all the minor details of elegance, has Wbeen surpassed. New and imnt feat ores hare been incorporated in this book, whereby the reader is not only interested and entertained, but also instrnc'ed in all that pertains to the republic’s growth and development.

John Whitman, Agent. “ConMn’t See It.” A few days since a fitenlleman stepped into Critlentou’s, No. 7 Sixth avenue, and stated that he had used Hale’s Honey of Horehound and Tar in his family for the last four months, to the entire satisfaction of them all, for tbo cure of Coughs, Colds, Inlluciiza, Hoarseness, Difficult Breathing, or any Affections of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs, leading to Consumption; but, moving to the east side of town, he went to the nearest druggist for a bottle of this article, when the druggist attempted to palm off some article of his own manufacture in place of it; and, using here the gentleman’s language, he told the druggist he ‘•couldn't see it;” or, in other words, he was satisfied ivitli> “Hale’s Honey of Horehound and Tar.” and wanted nothing else, as he had already used this, and knew by experience that this article Would give almost immediate relief, and in n short time wonld effect a permanent cure of,any or all of the loregoing complaints. We have our eye upon the above-mentioned druggist, and trust should*he read this it will be a lesson to him and to all other druggists to furnish “Hale’s Honey of Horehound and Tar” when called for, and retain their customers, for the reason that any one who uses this article once will have nothiug else.
