CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

A newspaper published in a neighboring town not long, ago remarked that Mu our diArict there was a scarcity of timber out of which to construct ropublicun candidates iot'oongress. A cursory glance over the field convinces us that our contemporary wus not well informed. Not only is there an abundance of maternal, but Bomo of it is choiic. The 'difficulty for the party will be to make a i * selection. The party finds itself much I * in theoondiuon of tho little negro wli® went into & cane-brake to cut a fishingpole and was so bewildered with the number of eligible ones having peculiar excellencies that he wasted half a day in deciding upon a choice, and finally camo out with one that was slender at the but and weak in the joints. •To begin with the northern tier of counties and enumerate them from right to left, in the order of their position on the map, St. Joseph might without of- * fending them present the names of Mr. Merrifield, Mr.. George and Several other local celebrities whose names cannot dow be recalled. LaPortc is equally prolific in distinguished citizens among whom ■Major Wm. 11. Calkins, Hon. Jasper l*aclcard, Mr. Sims Major and CaptTLT A. Cole are quite prominent. Among Porter county’s favorite sous are Major - Fred. F. B. Coffin the famous story- - teller, Judge Talcott, and Gen. Isaac C. rB. Suman who commanded an advance under Hooker iu the celebrated rbattje above the clouds, on Lookout Mountain. Lake county might bring into the arena Judge Turner and Mr. * Cheshire. Little Starke is the home of Hon. Geo. A. Netherton, an especial favorite of the LaForte Argus and of whom the Inter-Ocean at Chicago has spoken »jn fitting terms. In Pulaski are Mr. Spangler and James C. Faris, cither of whom in the essential qualification of honesty is so much superior to the last republican representative that no comparison may be instituted between them. Jasper county has Hon. R. S. * Dwiggins and S. P. Thompson, EsqNewton, Mr. Andrew Hall. White, Mr. J. P. Carr and Rev. Joseph Foxworthy. Carroll, Mr. Gould and Mr. Grant. There are also many others whose qualifications and social position . very properly place them in this catalogue; but enough have been mentioned ' to’tervc the purpose and establish the fact of there being plenty of material to choose from. Of all those named, the prospects are brightest fox Major William 11. Calkins, of LaPorte. It looks now as though he ought receive the nomination on the first ballot; indeed he must or he is lost, and every possible effort will be made to secure this result. Major Calkins entered the arena of politics while yet scarcely more than a boy. He was an apt pupil, and early learnt how the party machine was to be run. He knows perfectly every rope, wire, secret spring, wheel, pivot, pinion, screw, bolt and gauge-cock —as well as the oldest engineer in the service. He is thoroughly conversant with all the sharp tricks of the trade, and understands the full value of having conventions appointed at localities where public sentiment is strongly favorable to his personal aspirations, and where carloads of noisy claqueis may be readily ■and inexpensively shipped to supply any enthusiasm which might possibly otherwise be lacking. The report was prevalent two years ago that he saw, (as the term is understood among politicians), at the time of the meeting of‘the state -convention at Indianapolis, prominent gentlemen from the several counties of ■-. this dfetnctTahd ft” was then and there ‘definitely arranged for him to be the republican candidate. In fact he was virtually nominated at that time and place, and the convention which was subsequently called and held at Valparaiso was nothing more than a ratifies Xion mectingthat simply “endorsed the “platform of principles enunciated at In“dianapolis. ’ endorsed the “selection of Major W. H. Calkins as “the standard-bearer of the 10th dis■“trict, ’ resolved to triumphantly elect him to congress, (which they didn't, we 'believe), remodeled the district committee, and went home—-somo ol them to ttcaeherously work fur his defeat. It will be seen that they only pretended to ‘•endorse” a “selection” which had been 'made before. Major Calkins as an ambitious man cannot afford to fail this .time. If he is not nominated by his J>arty at Michigan City on the 21st jlnstapt it will bo his political death in

• thu district. He is compelled to play a desperate game, liehce it would not Tie •fcurprining if he has already used bis knowledge of the manner in which conventions are manipulated to his own advantage; indeed the letter that (Jen. . Human, chairman of the district central ooipwittcc, wrote to the editor of the directly after his wiumitn.e had held a conference to fix «ponft tiino and place lor holding tlodr the strongest kind UtiimiliuD ' that they also .fixed

upon a candidate, just'as their predeccs- v sors did at Tndiiitmpclis two ycais before. The fact that. the conv< htion was appointed to be held in Major fidkiiw’ county, at un inconvenient place, in one extremity of the district', and in convenient proximity to Chicago, a city who.se bummer polith km jhnyo On more tliun one occasion assisted in making the nominations for the district, is a circumstance tending to make tho suspicion still more strong. Titus far every step taken Major Calkius has been a good one to secure the object sought, but his path\vay is not the smoothest rhnt might b<j iniagirod. He is imating fierce, bitter, determined and .unrelenting hostility from the I’adkurd faction, whose weapons he is so effectually turning against them. There are somo very mean, very sneaking, and very contemptible men in the faction which the ilhwfrioti* SalaryGrabber leads, and it is truly gratifying to see the rascals sqtfrm. Several of Mr. I’ackard’s old organs arc doing all in their power against Mr. Calkins; some openly and aboveboard, others covertly and after the manner of cowards. Notably among these newspapers may be mentioned the Lal’orte Argus, which was Mr. Packard's home organ fur several years, although a democratic paper, the SoutTi Bend Register, the Crown Point Register, the Kentland Gazette the Monticello Herald, and, it is suspected, tEeValparaiso I 'idette and Wiuaiuac Republican. The Mishawaka Enterprise and the South Bend Tribune are the only newspapers that have yet pronounced for him. The three republican papers of his own county, (the Ln Porte Herald, LaPortc Chronicle and Michigan City Enterprise') preserve a masterly silence with regard to the struggle, although they are far from being disinterested spectators. The Herald is Major Calkins’ friend, the Enterprise wears General Packard’s collar and is waiting for its mast,er to whistle, while the Chronicle is the General’s own pa per—a serpent by the roadside wajting to strike the horse’s heel and cause his rider to fall backwards. Thus far they have accomplished little by their machinations against Major Calkins, because his forces are united, while his enemies lire divided in counsel. The Kentland Gazette is hot in its advocacy of the nomination of Mr. Foxworthy, and not long since uttered something that sounded very much like a threat to "bolt in ease Major Calkins was nominated? a very harmless bit of bravado, by the way, when if is considered that it has not sand enough in its craw to bolt anything —unless it might be a good dinner. The Moptigello Herald and the Brookston Reporter are .Foxwoiihy advocates. The Delphi Journal is for Mr. A. N, Grant, of Carroll county. The South Bend Register, Crown Point Rtgister, Valparaiso Vidette and Winamac liepublican have not declared for anyone yet, and it is possible for them to be friendly to Mr. Thompson’s-aspiratious. Still, as was said before, Major Calkins’ prospects have the best appearance on the surface, and it will not be surprising if he is nominated on the first ballot. But it will be with a bare majority only

Mr. Simon P. Thompson is a candidate for the republican nomination to congress from this district. .If the man chosen, he will brimr into the canvass an i ndo m itable will, co or. ige,en <-rgy. perse - verence and great force of character. He believes in no compromises, no halfway measures —perhaps is not always an extremist, but is thoroughly radical in Lis opinions and, actions. As an organizer theiQ is not his superior in the district. V>'ith liim at tlic head of the ticket every precinct would l/c thoroughly canvassed, and every wheel of party maclAtt-rv~-~SctTirTho'tion. As a candidate he will be active and aggressive; cool, persistent, unrelenting and determined; never deviating from' Tns course; and fighting vigorously until the polls are closed. As a member of congress he would be a constant, untiring, devoted laborer, apt to learn and ambitious to excel; no petition sent, him would be unnoticed ami no letter unanswered. He is prompt to duty and faithful in its performance. He is a man pf strong convictions, with bitter enemies ami active, influential friends.

An acquaintance in Boulder county, - Colorado, writes, under date of May 22d, 1876, as follows: I ara living on_a rancho in the mountains... I plant one acre of corn, ono of barley, two of oats, eight of potatoes, and keep twenty head of milch cows. Potatoes yield an average of about one hundred bushels per aqre;. and sell for $1.23 per-hundred-weight. We make an average of one hundred pounds of butter from oach cow during the season, which sells at the dairy door for 4U cents a pound, cash down or no go; milk brings 10, cents a quart. Calves are worth sl2 per head in the fall. My oats and barley. are 'three-Hushes high, and I liav.e an acre and i a quarter of Early Rose potatoe? nieetythrough the ground—an ! altctTvercd to-djiy-wi.tlr a smooth level of d’ldliutifnl snow, fiffeen inches deep.y finow commenced fall- , ing hist night, sud as 1 write ft comes down us rapidly as I ever raw if fall in Indiana.
