Chas. Kahlo,of Logansport, whom imine have considered -formost in tire congressional race, has withdrawn, choosing rather to enjoy the pleasures of home than the honors of office for a season. Democratic exchanges have set tip a general howl over tba fraud perpetrated by Congressman C. H. Vo or his, of New Jersey, as president of a. National bank, because he is a Republican. Don’t worry, dear brethren, the Republican party punishes its criminals and removes them from office. Voorhis has been solicited to resign and he will do it. A defaulter, who is a Republican is a great criminal, but a Democrat can be a traitor and a gentleman.

Col. K. G. Shryock, of Rochester. is waking a vigorous effort to .secure the nointnation for Congress in this congressional district. He is a veteran Republican, an able debater snd »a worthy man, but we fear he has sinned away his day of grace by injudiciously assisting others to position who proved re; creaut to their trust* Major Ed Calkins, who hajj so frequently ‘•laid dowii his life for the colonel,” is one of his wannest supporters, and Ed is sure death to any person whose candidacy he may espouse. If Hendricks can carry New York next, year he is ihe most available democratic candidate for the presidency; if he can not there should be no further talk about bis nomination. This is the real question to decide. —Wabash Courier. Hendricks cln carry New York if Tilden is in fatpr of his nomination. Tilden may not be nominated, but no man will be nominated who is personly distasteful to Tilden and his friends. —Winamac Democrat. This is the best illustration of the “dog in the manger”- we have seen for many days, and we are pleased to note that Democratic are realizing the situation. ■lf* Sammy is not nominated he will “kick’’ and New York Can not be carried without his assistance, and without the vole ot the Empire State the Democrats cannot hope to elect a Rreaid'ent. ,

Hon. John Sherman, th* Secretary of the Treasury, expressed, himself a few days ago,on the question of retiring the greenbacks, in a manner that will add to the confidence the people have in him as a, manipulator of the finances of the government. lie says: “The President's message and my report show a difference of opinion between us upon one important point, but not ns to the legal-tender clause. He believes teat a policy should be adopted gradually to retire United States notes, and to confine the operations of , the government in issuing money to the coinage of gold and silver. I believe that it is both politic and right for the United States to maintain in circulation a carefully limited amount of United States notes, always redeemable in coin, supported by ample reserves in coin, and supplemented by circulating notes of national banks. Whether you call them greenbacks, treasury notes, or coin certificates, they are an essential part or the national currency. The government alone can maintain intact a coin reserve sufficiently large to support such a currency at par with coinThe saving of interest on the notes would more than compensate the cost of such reserves. Rooks and corporations cannot alone do it, for when such reserve as is necessary is scattered over the whole country, among 2,000 banks, it would be at tacked in detail, and the failure of a lew banks would impair confidence in and destroy the whole system. The banks can properly and ought to supply a large portion of the currency to meet the ebb and flow of business, but, to make assurance donbly sure, the government must hold in its vaults, under all the safeguards of the Sub-Treasury, laws, a coin reserve, and one ample enough and concentrated beyond the reach qf private speculation to meet any probable demands that could be made upon it. When it docs this, Ido not see why it ought not to have the benefit of saving of interest on so much of the public dvbt as-is represented by United States notes.”

. The unmarried ladies in Peru are going to lake charge of the matrix monial m arket next year. It is said that a /lumber of them met a short time ago and made arrangements for an aggressive campaign, and are going to carry the war into Africa, and fight it ont on that line if it takes all summer. If a lady sees a tender youth and considers that he would make a good victim, rhe will-straight way. declare to him the longings of her heart, and ask him lo be “hern.” lie must either say yes, or soothe the maiden’s .wounded aAections with a new dress, as that is about the only thing that will heal lacerated female feelings. This news will not oast a gloom over the dry goods business. It will cost many » young man of tender susceptibilities and income lew than two or three thousand dollars per year, to dodge every pretty girl he sees.—Miami County ieniinch e ‘

The women suffragists are preparing to overwhelm congress with something hke thirty-seven thousand petitions, the present session. Twenty.-ive rich widows have already signed petitions, asking that 'their political disabilities be removed, or that they be relieved from taxation. 'Taxation without the privilege of the ballot is rank injustice.—Laporte Chronicle. ■ t A lady friend writes to know if we can give her any information on the subject of making hens lay in winter. Cenlainly; just in our line. Our method is to get close enough to the hen to reach her with a round stick about two foot in length and then give her a pretty hard.tap on the back of the head. We never found it to fail. -We have made them lay in this way at all times of the year. N. B. This plan will also make roosters lay.No charge for information.—Winamac Republican.

The theory that cities may be economically and satisfactorily healed by steam has been put to the test in Detroit, where for the last twelve months, the principal business houses have been furnished with heat and motive power by the Steam Supply Company, which has already three-and-a-Lalf miles of pipe laid and are rapidly extending the same, to meet the increasing demand. Those who have tried it are loud in their praise of the system; saying that it is clean, economical, safe and a greater luxury than even gass or water. It is destined ere long to come into general use.—Logansport Journal. While the managers of the Democratic party are trying to make up a presidential slate wouldn't it be well for them to be casting about somewhat tc. see what they can find in the shape of principles? Their old principles won’t fit next year at all. It won’t do for them to point with pride to their opposition to resumption because resumption is popular, It won’t answer to refer with satisfaction to their extra session of. Congress, because the people have placed the seal of condemnation against that bit of extravagance. It looks as If they would have to adopt that portion of the Indiana platform regarding coal shafts.—Delphi Journal.

The fact that out of two hundred and twenty negros. arrived here from North Carolina only twentytwo are men, is a sufficient answer to the charge that this movement is the work of Republican politititians. Men do.not import women and children to vote. The fact is the movement is purely a spontaneous one on the part of the colored people. Neither the Republican party nor any Republican organization has bad anything to do .with it. The charge that it is a political scheme to Rcpublicanize the State is without a particle of foundation. No such scheme exists except in the super-heated Democratic imagination. The facts are that some two or three months ago the colored people in one of thef interior counties of North Carolina clubbed together and sent two of their number to this- State to prospect and report as to the chance of obtaining employment here. * These men came on their own responsibility, as any others, white or black, might come on a similar errand. In Putnam county they received incouraging assurances as to the prospect of obtaining work, and they returned to North Carolina and reported to their friends. Their report was such as to induce a small party to come here, and now these have been followed by another party. Their right to come is a thing that cannot be questioned; the wisdom of their-coming is a question for them to decide.* They have chosen a bad season of the year to migrate, but simple-minded white people have often made the same mistake. They are poor and ignorant, but it does not follow that they may not make good citizens and contribute iheir share towards developing the resource*. of the Stale. At all eVents, the doors of the State can not be shut against them, and if they choose to stop here common charity and humanity dictate that all good people should assist in find ing them employment and homes. —lndianapolis Journal.
