Wade Hampton lias realized cn his promise to wipe cut the color line sooner than tho firmest believer in shot gun politics anticipated. An Idaho runn killed and baked his dc j and then invited his neighbors to an antelope fe3t. After tho feast they invited hfm to occupy a new cemetry.

Butler uttert-d a truth when ho e&id It was amazing that over 1 350,000,000 worth of butter and cheese had bean produced in this country In the past year. The Legislature will be strongly urged to pass a Law requiring all person.? to pass an examination before receiving license to practice law or medicine. Thero ought to bo ssch a law passed, and it should be rSjldly enforced. The Indianapolis Journal, speaking cf a female teacher in one of the counties of this State who refused to teach a mixed school of whites and blacks, says "she probably belongs to the class of teachers v ho want whit husbands or aor4." She evidently doesn't belong to the class who would rath er take a Mack husband than none. "Woodman, spare that tree. This cry cornea from far-slghttd peopleal! over tin's land.

O I; - u ),f I t!.t ( I v , i tv. ill i it OMthltl 4S coin iniiiil'y be mi f . b: uht to the consideration of t lie pf i:(ih- l hat the best tm-n should j t-e f.-li!. ;c't for the tresis which the law impo?i:s. In this regard there hm been no dhlcrence of exprii?sion by public men ex the press of the State.' T1.3 demand has been for i;:fti oi unsullied reputations and of unquestioned integrity, lllstake;! have sometimes been made, and the best men hav not always te?n elected, but these di.sRj.pointments are exception, nn generally tho people have been liont-tly re pr evented by county official, and their acts will bvar the mostrigid scrutiny. Hence the malignant denunciations of the Juurnul re gratuitous. It should be remembered that the fees of county oQciais are regulated by a gv'ceral law, and that it has been found impracticable to make a law for each county in the fc'tato without introducing such contusion as would create embarrassments and widespread disorder and injustice. No subjtct ha engaged more of the attention of law-makers. It has been discussed to exhaustion, and analyzed in the interest of the people, and the fee system has been found to approximate justice and fairness more nearly than any other method that could be devised, for in such cases an o nicer is paid in proportion to the duties performed. This is true in every case and seems to meet every ex tgency. Thess fees ara in nowise the result of anything that an of fictal can do or fail to do. if the people will engage extensively in litigation they thereby increase the fees of clerks and sheriff's. If a county is large and wealthy the duties of the auditor are propor tionately increased. If the times are prosperous and real estate is rapidly changing hands the recorder u ill bebusy. If the taxes are large the collector will receive a larger compensation. If there are 'frequent violent and unusual deaths the coroner will find his office mere lucrative. If the reverso of all this is the situation the fees of county odclals will be proportionately reduced. So that the people have this matter under their immediate contiol, and county oiJciais who have to Rive bonds for the faithful performance of their duties are4in nowise responsible except to abide by the law. To denounce them as robbers, as unnecessarily burdening the people, is manifestly J unjust. If the people would command the best talent, the bes- character, men of the highest integri " d of unflagging fdelity, they tust consent to pay r compensat;"'. If they desire to have all tho vrs. interests of the counties placed in the hands of those who will work for the least money, the whole aspect of county governments wili undergo a most disastrous change. Insecurity will everywliere be manifested; deubts and fears will take the place of confidence and composure, and these are considerations which deserve rarcfal action. They are above partisan triumphs for they involve the welfare ot men of all parties. The fact is yet to be determined first how much an honet man is worth vho controls large interests in which tho whole public are concerned. Fidelity and integrity are almost beyond price, and States and coun ties have never yet paid honest men, a!H thinrr considered, too-1 much for transacting thsir business. 4t frv i, iS'ot.sa .J6. su W & Sk.

Kokomo Dispatch: The delinquent tax list of the county is larger than usual this year, amounting to $44,000. Knox county claims the oldest woman in the State. Her name is Magdalen Bergheimer, and she is 102 years of age. Tipton Times: William Hancock, who resides five miles west of this place, has recently last, 76 head of hogs, which died of cholera. The "Seymour Woolen Mills have 60 men and women at work, and turn out 500 yards of piece goods and 300 pounds of stocking yarn daily. The stockholders of the First National Bank of Fort Wayne on Wednesday voted to reduce the capital stock of the concern from $400,000 to 300,000. Frankfort Cresent: One man here has bought and sold over 350 bushels of beans this fall, and it has not been a very good year for beans either, The slander suit of Jane Lewis vs. Hutchison was decided in the Circuit court at Crawfordsville Wednesday, the jury allowing the plaintiff $300. She sued for $500. Lafayette Journal: "Maddened by sensation and how I put my foot in it," will be the subject of a lecture to be delivered by a well known young man of this city at an early day. Mrs. Farmer, living in Skelton township, Warrick county, while riding on horseback and smoking a pipe, had her clothing take fire. She ran a hundred yards and jumped into a creek. She was rescued, but badly burned. Her recovery is doubtful. The county Superintendent of Knox county recently revoked a teacher's license as a punishment to the pedagogue for offering a bribe of $5 if the Superintendent would raise his (the teacher's) grade to 96. The revocation of the license was reported to Superintendent Smart and met with his hearty approval. George Peterson, a colored man, has been appointed deputy sheriff of Grant county, by the newly elected Democratic Sheriff of that county, Mr. B. R. Norman who is the first Democratic Sheriff elected in Grant during the past 25 years. Mr. Peterson, it is said, performs his duties in a very satisfactory manure. Marion Dunn, who committed rape upon Adaline Wolf at New Albany, some weeks ago, and who was acquitted, owing to a defective indictment, had his second trial Tuesday. The case went to the jury at a late hour Tuesday evening, and Wednesday morning a verdict of guilty was returned, and the prisoner sentenced to 15 year in the penitentiary. December 15, 1808 there were 405 convicts in the Indiana Southern prison. The admissions have been for 10 years as follow: 1869, 174; 1870, 179; 1871, 185; 1872, 169; 1873, 191; 1874, 231; 1875, 270; 1876, 254; 1877, 287; 1878, 335 making a total of 2,670. Of this number 334 received a pardon at the hands of Governors Baker, Hendricks and Williams. These pardons have been as follows for 10 years; 43, 30 43, and 26 Baker; 27, 25, 19, and 34 Hendricks; 33 and 44 Williams. In proportion to the number of prisoners Governor Williams has pardoned a less number than any one of the three Governors. There have been 92 deaths in 10 years; 1041 have been discharged and 21 escaped. The prisoners have come from the South half of the State. Vigo county has sent 101 of the present convicts. Vanderburg county has furnised 68: Jefferson 25 Wayne, 34; Johnson, 20; Jen= nings 15; Knox, 22; Sullivan, 15; Bartholomew, 14; Monroe 13; De catur, 11: Brow, Scott, Crawford, Daviess, Fayette, Harrison and Union, all send one representative each; The United States District sends 10.

acres. They were the only members of the family, and lived in a miserable little shanty of two

rooms, which they built shortly after buying the farm. On Tuesday night the boy, Mike, went to the house of a farmer close by and said that he had been to Lafayette during the day, and when he returned at night he found his father in bed dead. A pistol was on the floor with which he had killed himself. The neighbors investigated the matter, and knowing the boy to be untruthful and dishonest, suspected that he had had a hand in his father's death. During the inquest he was questioned so closely, and telling several stories, was finally charged directly with the murder, and confessed the crime, saying that he wanted the farm to be all his own. The murderer is only 19 years of age. His preliminary trial was held on Wednesday, and he was held on the charge of murder. Blaine has begun his campaign for the Presidency. He proposes to head the crusade against the South. He has offered a resolution looking toward an investigation of the late elections held in the Southern States. It strikes us that Jeems is a little too premature. There is great lament among Republican politicians that there is no hope of a restoration of carpetbag rule at the South. The following resolution has been introduced in the House, by Senator Fort: "Resolved, That the legal tender quality of the silver dollar of 4 12 grains standard silver shall be maintained and enforced, and that any discrimination against the said silver dollar by any na tional bank in refusing to receive them and treat them as legal dollars, shall be deemed defiance of the laws of the United States, and the Committee on Banking and Currency is hereby instructed to mature and bring in a bill for the withdrawal from circulation of the notes of all such banks so offending." Let it become a law at once and then enforce it to the letter. Warning to Paper Stoppers. A certain man got mad at the editor and stopped his paper. The next week he sold all his corn at 4 cents below the market price. Then his property was sold for taxes because he only heard of the sale three days after it had adjourned; he lost $10 betting on Mollie McCarthy two days after Ten Broeck had won the race; he was arrested and fined $8 for going hunting on Sunday; he paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised for two weeks, and the public cautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a big Irishman with a leg like a derrick, to kick him all the way to ' the newspaper office, when he paid four years' subscription, in advance, and made the editor of said paper sign and swear to an agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever ordered his paper stopped again. Meeting of Stockholders. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cincinnati. Rockport and Southwestern Railway Companyy will be held at Mitchell, Indiana, on TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1879. for the purpose of electing nine Directors to serve for the ensuing year, and the transac tion of such business as may come before it.
