THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

Judge Turney nf Crown Point wrote to the Honorable Schuyler Colfax wnartilly Raking for permission to ure Mr IMMH3 for the republican nouiiuatfon for eongtHM from thia district. Mr. Colfax replied with a jwremptory refusal, My ing “even If an unanimous election to congress wiw tendered to n>«, I could nut accept. Public serVlie la. I know, often a public duty, but twenty year* of faithful service to my country have certainly fulfilled all such obligations of citizenship." Upon seeing this Crown Point Jfrjfrieter boo-hoos right out loud, like a l»y who has stubbed a sore toe or • little girl who lias broken the legs off her china <io||; Indeed it blubbers about It awfully , and sniffles out this very unkind allusion to Major Calkins’ unpopularity, aud significant bint of convention trickery. Who shall ire bare? We need a man of established character, considerable experience, and of HaoearpromUing integrity. It was thought we haul such a man before I the people in our last campaign, but he proved w be lacking somewhat in strength, aud wo suffered defeat; not through any fault ot bis, perhaps, but because of the apathy, or, more correctly speaking, |>ocnuse many of the republican voters of this county believed that he was concerned in the Knnk*k«o drainage swindle, and because many others condemned the manner in which his nomination was secured. Let us have a man, then, for this campaign who is unobjectionable in every particular, and who can rouse our Voters from their apathy. We presume Major Calkins would not care to undertake itsgaip, and precedent has proven that such a course would not be best. Let the office seek the num, and perhaps the I right one may be found.

It would be sad indeed if among 1-5,000 republican voters, having a majority of 1,500 in the district, not one can be found with “character" aud •‘integrity" sufficient to command the confidence of his party friends! Among all the adverse criticisms of the democratic press nothing lias yet appeared half so humiliating as the half-expressed doybt of finding such a gentleman that is contained in the foregoing quotation. If our republican friends who manipulate their party’s will take a little cure not to permit the repetition of such frauds as was committed at the Plymouth convention of 1872, the irregularities which the Register hints were Indulged in by Major Calkins’ friends at the Valparaiso convention of 1874, and If the party will define its principles iu a manly, straight-for-ward manner instead of acting the coward as it did last campaign, and then nominate a plain-spoken, man from the ranks, Instead of pandering to the weak vice of expediency, ni.d idolatrizii'g physical symmetry, the party will command respect even though it should suffer another defeat. We do not believe that Major Calkins ought to be blamed with the defeat of his party two years ago. The representative in congress who succeeded Mr. Colfax had long before, by his convention trickery, his salary-grab-bing and other disreputable practices,

ttowu the seed which produced the bountiful whirlwind crop in this dis* trict. Of course there were other eircunwtanees and conditions which contributed to the defeat of the party besides the dishonesty of the man who then represented this district in congress, as, for instance, the Credit Mobilier scandal, the outrageous Salary Grab, the shocking corruption in .and around Washington City which |>ad then just been unearthed by the Investigating committees of congress JtMd the result of whone labors Was Mdii fresh in the public mind—all of these tbihgs and many others not necessary to recall, contributed to the result which followed. An impression prevailed among the mass of voters that a change of programme would work salutary results, especially afterthe Vuljiaraieo convention had adjourned without daring to say a word In uondemnatfoft of notorious corruption or a promise of reformation, If the sequel lias suggested any reforms to the republican leaders they will be wise to accept the situation and adopt them. Let the democrats also learn from the experience x»f their republican brethren lessons in honesty and reform and the labor of the independent voters of this district will not have been in vain.

A private circular signed by Carl Bcfiurz, JMvid A. Wells fttiul others, calls a meeting of such independents uh wish jo consult about moans to shake off the partisan rule which afflicts the country. Schurz and company ere very well in their way, but **? r **y wm be dead and long forgotten before partisan rule ceases ia this country —Suuth Bend Herald. 1 The Herald is an intelligent, widebwake, citNKt-observing newspaper ot strong partisan proclivities. It ia democratic in sentiment from core to peehpg. It* remarks may be safely ftnl properly considered a truthful reflex us the democratic heart towards the independent voter. He is "very well in his Way** so long as his way assists democrats Jutooffice. He so a most sxssllent paw for the demMMtratla monkey to rake toothsome bhegtnufonptxtf tfre hot embers with; but, IJks> tint whole simian rw. lie must have them all himself. Since lltiMftjMwe have Iwofneso sot In such a short length of time on twwngjl and *<• few nuts, and has become so important In bis own estimation, and so Indifferent about the condition of Hkw wiio burnt their toes for b Is behnfit, suppose these singed cats run juine and stay till their blisters get Well and the inonKey learns his true jmptttanee among the imimiils of i WShtiou. |

Mr. A. Leopold has th is week given us the largest advertising contract ever made iu Jasper county for the mercantile bualnesa. He will occupy four column* of space one year, for which ho will pay us much as any other merchant in U>e place pays for store rent, with perhaps a single exception, For many years he has been a liberal patron of printers’ Ink, and he says the investment has always paid him large returns. Of course n la for our Interest to solicit business of this description, but aside from any pecuniary advantage we may possibly derive from the statement, our own experience fully corrol orates his. There Is, undoubtedly, a great deal of virtue in judicious advertising; and while it!'may possibly be overdone, the chief danger to business men lies in not doing enough of it. At first glance the tax may seem 'bn onerous burden, yet that it pays as an investment Is established beyond question by the fact that all successful business men patronize it largely, and few ever neglect it altogetlrer who once try the cxperlmeut. We are anxious to make advertising contracts with one hundred more firms to the extent and on similar terms as that we have with Mr. Leopold. The Union has the largest circulation of any newspaper ever published in the county, and its advertising tariffs are the lowest we know of in the state. Try us and we will do you good. Foreign advertisements not solicited for our local pages. On account of the crowded state of our local columns, correspondents are requested to condense their communications as much as possible, and give only a plain statement of facts and circumstances divested of all unnecessary verbiage. For the reason above given we must decline to publish any more school rejxirts, so-called, at least for some time to come. Space in The Union is pecuniarily valuable, and nothing is ever published in it merely to fill up, therefore no one should be offended or feel slighted if their letters are pruned down to the fewest possible words consistent with the ideas they intend to convey.

The independent party of Indiana had its head wrung off' at Indianapolis, lost week, by a man called Landers. It was a beautiful fowl to look at, having a glossy green back, bright golden legs and a long tail speckled black and white. The poor bird’s constitution had been very much impaired of late from Inordinately feeding upon a diet of diluted rags, A noted taxidermist, J. Buchanan by name, is now engaged with an instrument known as a Thesun in skinning the carcass and stuffing it for exhibition as a Centennial curiosity, Landers was killed on the spot by the owners of the bird, aud his body thrown to tire hogs. The contraction of the national bank currency for last week was less than half a million dollars, against over a million during the previous week. Gold was quoted at in New York, day before yesterday. Market quotations of cattle, breadstuffs ami grain lower, with constant tendency downward.

From Walker Township.

The chief topic of conversation among farmers is plowing and planting; among their wives, house cleaning and garden making. The common greeting of the young folks is “Have you had your fortune told?” Un last Sunday a Sabbath school was orgiwiizud at Hershman’s school house, with Sister Easley superintendent, anil Mollie Kou|f secretary. Lesson for next Sabbath the Ist chapter of Acts. Immediately after Sabbath school Rev. My. Compton of Fort Wayne preached asoul-moving sermon to a crowded house, administering strong meat along with the delicacies. Mr. M. 1). Richardson a former resident of Walker township now living in Missaukee county, Mich., was here a few days last week visiting old friends tfnd pupils. A literary and debating society was organized last week by the young people which will hold its sessions every alternate week in the Walker school house; H. Roney president, Hala Wilcox secretary, Miss Adie Hathaway editress of the Walker Tattler; membership, 18. Mr. John Moore of Pennsylvania is here visiting his cousin Mrs. U enrick. Mr. Geo. Wilcox has as tine looking piece of wheat as my eyes want to behold- Not long since he started to the garden to plant potatoes and at the gate was met by a lordly potato bug who greeted him with a sqiile of welcome such as only a bug of that kind can smile while looking at a basket of potatoes prepared for plant-
