Ue bare ted no. fear, at any time, that r-7 dodge which the radicals might adopt, would deprive us of a single German vote. The last Cv-n7ert which they made from the German demicrscy, was Pete Schlarb, end hig nomination by the democrats to the mo?t insigniScant rffiee to be voted for, would have brought him back long ago.

BADGES AND EMBLEMS. From the earlict tgel cf antiquity it has been the ens ton not only of nation?, bat of all organized bodies of men, to ndopt some peculiar sign or badire by which they should be distinguished from tho rest of mankind. Thus in the earlier ages the Mohamxcdan w.t kuwo by the orescent, the christian by the cro.v, ar,d the mason by tie square and compass. In the days of Cromwell the English were dirided in I wo partio, known as cavaliers and round heads ; the latter being known by the manner of cutting their hair. Io BBoiern times this ancient custom of bad ges, instead of fallirg into diu has be otna; m'sre nms-ersnf, Lpon tho first

nomination of Abraham Lincoln for thejvear they adopt the virtuous role. Effi

presidency, republicans were known by a splinter of a fence rail worn on the hat or i in the button hole of the coat, cmblernatical of the early life of their candidate, Durin; the war a butternut shell, or an , old fashioned copper oiu worn upon the person wis the sure sign that the wearer j wan a pestiferous copperhead and traitor, for whose arrest, imprisonment and death j all loyal men mot levoutly prayed. Members of the " grand army of the republic," " union leneruers." fce, all have their badges. As the presidential campaign of 1808 ia aoou to open, and promises to be the hottest ever known in this country, and as; the republican party lias already designated Gen. U. S. Graut as their candidate, there are several styles of badges that suggest themselves to the artistic mind as highly appropriate and emblematical, any one of which would clearly distinguish the truly loyal and pious nigger-worshiper from any wicked copperhead and traitor. We would ßuggest a portrait of the Gener al as he appeared when sieging Jim Crow j on Sunday, in the streets of Washington. It would illustrate Iiis jovial disposition and insure him the support of good templars. If such a portrait is thought to be too expensive for general use, then we would suggest a pin to be worn upon the breast representing a ruinature M soup turreen." Or as a token of the General's humble origin, some badge might be worn wt! 1 rry gdod effect, such as a calf ' taii j the hat, aim Kossuth, or a strip of gr:n cow-hide fastened in the button hole; while all grca gatherings cf the loy al phould be hclc in or as near a tan yard as possible. The last mcutionod badges hove the advantage of cheapness and will doubtless come into general use during the campaign. IMPEAC'dMEST. Lust Mondiv witnessed the reeorn p , . . , ! meneemetit oi the unpeaen Blent trial. Mr. Butler opened the Drocccdiiii's on th : f i .1 j- A a three hours' speech. Washington telegrams-state that there was perceptible diaappciutmeut on the part of all present, when it wis found out that lie Lad his cotire speech not only written, but printed. I The effort of Mr. Butler was not so able j as was expected from a man of his repu tation as a wyer. and excited untnendly , . r . in on the part ot the ita-1 m ! comment, even on the part 'of the occaiiyn." At the conclusion oi the speeofa the cuurt was pronounced to be in a condition to receive testimony. Acc rdiasrbr Mr. Wi'on r.n- of iho managers, presented a lot of documentary stuff. ulcer which the court a-ijourced until 'V 1 Tuesday. On Taceday thr or four w; tne?ses in iavor of the proMOtttioa were examinstated his position to ba, that it " was his duty to decide all questions of JiW aud evidence when submitted, subject to au r,U;ck succession. In the nudet of the confnstOB a motion was mado that the senate 'retire f.,r consultation. After cries ef l So ! 9 11 No ! " the ayes ami noes were called and resulted in a ti?. 2.j to 2" - ... mmwt - J iw - I The chief-justice decided in the affirm; hive and the senate retired. After thre nanthree h.onrs and a quarter's consultation, the senate returned and reported that the seventh rule had been amended so as to allow the chair eithsr to decide questions of law and evidence, subject to an appeal by any senator, or to submit thorn to the court for decision. Thie practically and fully -ustaiDs the chief justice against Drake. Great indignation was manifested by the radical senators at the manner ia which , the cbicf ; .stice decided the tie in rela tion to the retiring of the senate. Dorbits are entertained a to Mr. Chased ' loyalty." "Isn't it Queer, I ask you?" Tho "irrioly loiI"of this township met in convention at Messrs. J'hillips and Johnson's law office, on Saturday evening, March 21, to nominate candidates for townhip offices. A straight ticket was nominated until the office of supervisor was cached, when the following resolution was adopted: Jir.o!i i J, That we wil! make no nomination for Supervisor, but that ou account of the efficiency with which Charles Haslanger has heretofore filled the office we reeommeud all republicans to vote for iiim. Unfortunately, the fish intended to be caught would not bite at so small a bait. The rads were "willin' souls but they couldn't fneVfl reach." They have seemingly all at once waked to a realizing sense of their situation, and no stone will be left unturned to curry favor with the German voto. TJ e is no one so silly as to believe th.- ie rads would have passed any such rosi t on as the above had they supposed i i ost of a chance remained for them to carry the election without it. Last year they elected a portion of their ticket at the corporation election, through misrepresentation and hard lying. This I

ciency, say they, is a jewel, wherever j

found; and accordingly they pay it their i Mr. II. S. Chapin, having sold out to respects by putting in nomination a gen- Messrs. Brown k Reed. The Republican tlcuian of oppoaition politics for the lowesbas recently been enlarged and otherwise

position on the ticket, with the hope of J thus securing enough J democratic votes to elect the balance of the radical candidates, Hut it wont work, as the following card from Mr. Haslanger will abundantly i3fily : To tbo Editor of the Dkxocrat: I hereby give notice to my friends that I cannot be a candidate lor the office of Supervisor at the coming election, and hope ail who were favorable to my nomination will give their support to the nominee of the party, and oblige. Charles Haslanger. Thk radicals nominated Jonathan N. Frecsc for trustee of Center towuship, in the hope of catching a portion of the German vote. This is but another evidence of the desperate strait in which they are placed; as Mr. Freese was probably never nearer Germany than the state of Ohio, and does not associate with Gertnan:, religiously or otherwise. Why it is that anybody other than an intensely-loy-al-died-in-the-wool radical should vote for Mr. Freese, we are unable to ee. If re;sous other than those of a political nature are to guide the voters of Center township in the election of a trustee, they are certainly in favor of Mr. Edwards, the present incumbent. He is an old citizen, has been for many years identified with the interests of the people of this county; has been a prompt, efficient and faithful officer; and we see no reason why any vote should be given to his opponent in preference to him. We hope to see his majority increased over last year. In speaking of the " spirit of the democracy "in relation to impeachment niattcrs. the St. Joseph allt y Register uses . r 9 i . r.-itn..;nn. i.. ......... . 1 B J " In no instance have the republicans treated the matter as a party measure. All partisanship has beeu on the other ide,aod this is being made more eyi-! dent as the case proceeds. It will be sufficient for our present purpose to quote the language of Stevens in: speaking to the senate about the affair : 'Let him hope who dares to hope that CO lilifll O Kurlt H l tl, i' .nntrt V 111 , . i 1 - - ",, 4 7 fms.WUl torgct its own acts,vill treadback ' -u j: :..,,.ir:

It is earnestly desired that our friends in all the townships of the countysee to this matter, and not permit their opponents to euchre them. We can elect our candidates in every township in the county, with the exception of Ti peeanoe, if proper exertion is made. There is nothing gained in policy, and everything j lost in priutiple. by the system of trading v. hich the radicals will endeavor to inauurate, and we warn our friends airaiust it i 3 ;e the straight democratic ticket, without a scratch or a blemish, and all will be well. See to it that everv democrat is at j the polls, and that no illegal radical votes ! arc cast. THE STA TE. A trance medium at Delphi proposes doing great things in a spiritualistic way. She will ppcak on a subject chosen by the audience, as well as answer questions. Criticism and discussion is challenged. A fellow at Winamac, tho other night, asked admittance into a private house, as there waa some one after him witn "evil intent." The proprietor of the j f40Ue couldu't "see it."

On Monday evening of last week, according to the Cfuoa Herald r a acoro or uiorc of Laporteans had a deal of fun with Dr. S. K. Collins, a well-known spiritualistic physician. The Dr. and his friends had repeatedly declared that no mortal hands could knot him so fast with earthly rope that tlie spirits could not liberate him in from one to three minutes. Procuring a manilla clothes line, 175 feet long, "bran new," commencing in the middle, and separating the strands, they so effectually tied the Dr. that the spirits could not, in 28 minutes, do anything for him. The trial ended by tlie boys cutting the rope off from the Dr.'s swelled limbs. The Crown Point Register clamors for a new jail.

This process emptied the water out of his lungs and stomach, and he waa socu all right. Butter is selling at fifty-five and sixty cents per pound at Indianapolis. One of tho principal reasons for granting a divorce to an injured fair one recently, at Fort Wayne, was, in the language of the Dtmorrat. "that the stingy old husband positively refused to pay tho assessments made on her by the church of which f-he was a member." The editor of the Kendallville ,7ornal recently went to Albion at the invitation of certain parties, and on his arrival was assaulted by a burly ruffian and terribly beaten, crowd hinsing and encouraging him during the performance. On Monday, of last week, a little daughter, aged 3 years, of J. V.

On Saturday, 21, a boy of fifteen, J

He had started from Peru on horse back, and when found one stirrup was on his foot, and from the indications it was presumed that he had been dragged about forty rods. An addition to Indianapolis is called "Hell's Half Acre" by the Herald's local. On Monday, of last week, the citizens, by a large majority, voted to incorporate the town of Winamac. The Valparaiso Rtpahlican touches somebody on the "raw" as follows : "The gates are down around the court house square, and hogs, sheep, goats, cows, calves, and colts are running around "permiscously." Who's business is it? That square would be an ornament to the city if the hoop poles, broken limbs, old pots, rotten wood, etc., were removed and the grass permitted to grow ; but as it is 'twould insult a calf to offer' him a free pasture in it. Who'll buy property here with such a broken down, rheumatic kind of a court house and square exposed tc view f Hey I Who'll do it?" For the Democrat. Mr. Editor. In the Democrat of March 2Gth, in an editorial under the head of " the prospect," you take a very gioomy view of the political horizon, and it seems a view not warranted by the circumstances surrounding the case. Is it just to assume in advance of their action that the democratic national con vention will ignore the great financial question of the day, tduiply because they meet in the city of New York ? Is it the part of wisdom, or prudence to assume in advance of their action that the democrats chosen by the party to represent them in the national convention will not prove as true to the principles they represent, in New York, a3 in Chicago, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis ? If the democracy of the north-west fear the contamination of their delegates by the moneyed influence of Wall street, then they had better at once retire from the conflict on which they are now cnteriug; because if they are made of tho mould that cannot staud the pressure of Xew York, it were useless to send others to represent them at Washington, for with all its vices, to compare New Y'ork and Washington is like comparing heaven with a brothel. Again, you say the democratic press of the east seeks to ignore the bond question, and is in the interest of the , bononoi'ier.s. in that assertion you uo the democratic press of the east great injustice. Where will you find papers truer to the interests of the people in their struggle with the money power, than the New York Day Dook, Freeman's Journal. Bridgeport Farmer, Franklin Gazette, and hundreds of others that might be mentioned ? Where there is one democratic paper in favor of paying bonds in gold, at the east, there are fifty opposed to it, and I will venture the assertion without fear of successf ul contradiction that in no part of I the country can you find a nobler or truer set of men than the editors of the eastern democratic press. Many of them proved their devotion to the principles they advocate, by chosing the dark, loathsome dungeons of Forts Warren and LaFayette, rather than renounce them. Why should we fear New York ? That great metropolis of this continent is the only place of importance in the north that has always proved -faithful. When others faltered or failed she held the democratic banuer aloft and cast its folds to the breeze. f)f all places she is the most worthy of leing honored with the national convention, aud I am firm iu the belief that not only will your gloomy predictions prove unfounded, but that the democracy of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and New Hampshire will be found standing shoulder to shoulder with the northwest, under the leadership of George II. Pendleton, and with the motto upon theirbauuers, " equal laws, equal taxation, and the people's money for the public creditors." There is time enough for sighiug when the battle is lost and hope has fled. Dut now, while truth and jus tice are marshaling forces for the fight, let there be uo such word a.s fail. But brave men to the front, stand firm, and God defend the right. Y'ours, in hope, J. Clarke. CI11CA GO CORRESPONDENCE Chicauo, March öOih, 18G8. The democrats of (Jook couuty held their couuty Convention on Saturday afternoon last, and in addition to their regular work of appointing delegates to the state convention shortly to be held at Spring field, adopted resolutions heartily endorsing Geo. II. Pendleton, and advocating his nomination as the democratic caudidate for the presidency. They also took a littlo flier " at a proclamation ot the claims of adopted citizen, traveling abroad, to be rccogniaed and protected as American citizens, a good point as a party endorsement of a recent mass meeting held here on this tiubject. Rut iu the matter of backing up their man for the presidency, they are way behind tho Grant men. The republicans have not jet had their county convention, aud so bave not endorsed (Irant as a party, indeed it is a little doubtful whether they would so far commit themselves just yet, but the way they are working in tho getting up of Grant clubs, in eery ward in the city holdiug Giant ward-meetings, makiug Grant speeches, and adopting stacks of!

the strongest possible social and other influences to secure the delegates to the approaching national convention in favor of U. S. G.'s nomination. Speaking of U. S.

It dropped in the dirt, and he picked it up and polished it on - the seat of his breeches and laid it before us. Brown said. "I pass " We all passed and called a new deal. He put some egg in a trying-pan and stood pensively prying slabs of meat from between his teeth with a fork. Then he used ths fork to turn the eegs with and brought them along. Brown said, "I pass." All followed suit. We did not know what to do, and so we ordered a new ration of sausage. The cook took out his wire, appointed a proper amount of sausage meat, spit on his hands and fell to work. This time, with one accord we all passed out. We paid and left. That is all I know of Turkish lunches. A Turkish lunch is good, no doubt, but it has its weak points.
