REPUBLICAN MEETING.
Tlie I<< j-ui*. * r- oi Rensselaer ami vicinity are > ;i* -ted to assemble at Starr r Halt, next Saturday evening, at 8 o’clock sharp.
The Congressional Convention.
Somebody mast make the first suggestion as to when and where the Republican Congressional Convention of this, the 10th district, should be held, and at the risk of being considered modest we will nominate Rensselaer as the most central, geographically, and as accessible as any point in the district. By consulting the map it will be seen that we are the “hub” of the 10th district, and we are emphatically in favor of the “no North,” and “no South” policy, believing that the best way to silence the lection a! strife* that has heretofore disturbed our political equilibrium .is to take the middle ground, and assemble in. the wide-awake little city of Rensselaer. We now ample railaoad facilities, connecting with eveiy county in the district. We have splendid hotel accommodations; - the new “Nowel4 House,” 31 r. Kirt-; ley & Son, being of itself sufficient to accommodate almost the entire j delegation. Then we have a new ! 0, ra House in which the convenn could be Leid. .We would suggest Tuesday, June Stli'as 3 very gockl time to hold the - * * ntion.but would be willing to . mi>c as to'time: providing ' ~**e.:%er i- sJectid as the .place. LiT'us hear from you, brethren i f the press, so that we can have the matter settled at as early a date a-s possible.r— ; The colored individual is again ' in the iroodpile and a large number of Democratic leaders.are sadly afflicted with uogrophobiq. Daniel’s pledges to repeal the resumption act and his investigation of the necro exodus will come oat at the same end of the horn. We bave-the best reasons for believing that the r.egro exodus is the result of a Democratic scheme to fire the Democratic heart iu the , North by reviving the race prejudice and the cry of iit-gro equality and miscegenation. In order to get at the bottom facts we suggest that Mr. Hendricks and other scheming I Democrats be required to.teil what they know- about this matter before the \ ourLces investigating [’"committee. i -i—— i In a free It jjuj lie the will of the I people is tk - usee of power, but; if their wiL i- suktituted by fraud j then our Re pi.biu an form of govern- ' ment becomes a farce. To avoid this danger, Governor Graeclon should receive the punishment prescribed to traitors for treason against the government of his own State. Tliis RepuLlic has too many living j examplesof treason. It should have . a few dead ones, and it would be ! profitable to commence with the ! 'governor of Maine. ’
Oar Democratic exchanges are endeavoring to erect a mountain of' difficulties out of a mole hill of ne- ! gros emigrating from North Caroli-1 na to the Southern portion of this State, and about (Jvery Democratic editor beholds (in liis mind) swarms of plantation darkies marching up to the polls with Republican ballots in their hands. They also see poor white men discharged from the labors of the field, the workshops and. every place ot |>usiness to give place to the colored man, and their lamilies compelled to beg from door to door for the common necessaries ot life. But our Democratic brethren are an exceedingly visionary set of individuals, and endeavor to make their readers believe a lie. It is true a few negros have moved with their tamiiics from the Southern States to Indiana,but the statement that they were brought here *»y Republicans to vote the Repub* iican ticket is a positive falsehood. If the Republican leaders wished to import voters they could get hundreds of young men from Kentucky at a much less expense than shipping a whole family for the sake of one vote all the way from North Carolina. 'All the lying Democratic editors can do will not make the people believe our Republican leaders are a pack of fools. The iact is the Democratic parly is out ot political meat and don’t know what else to say to induce men to support their, ticket.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
- Remisgtox, Ind., Dec. J 6, 1879. V.Bitters. Esq., Editor of Retiblicax, Dear Sir:—l am plcaseo with your paper ao«l approve Kenerallyf}-eiir editorial*, but I pray you nqt to commit yourself to a gold standard or to the demonetization of silver, as your article in the XErriLicis of the 2C*h iast. seems to Indicate. The Republicans of the west, 1 think, are a nnit in maintaining the enrrency as it is, and consequently are opposed to retiring the Greenbacks 'or restricting the circulation of silverItappears to me that the ]>osition of the Chicago Tribune on the financial question is the true one. and will be tlte policy of the party in the coming campaign. You will excuse this freedom, as I have not the pleast;re ot an acquaintance. Trulv Tours, W. H. Snaw. No apoldgy* needed, Mr. Shaw. It is not only the privilege, but we believe it to be duty of every reader of bis party-paper to present .bis views arid opinions lespeclingj tbe tenor of its editorials and the |
persons It should support for office. The financial policy of the Republican party as carried out by John Sherman we believe to be the most correct and successful that coaid have been adopted, and because of this we are willing to trust the wisdom of the party and the man for tbe future. The editorial which you refer to simply expressed Sherman's fears that at tbe raleat which silver is being coined the country would soon be flooded with it as it was with greenbacks at the time of the passage of the resumption act, and thereby become depreciated and fall below the gold standard. Foreseeing the peril of a silver deluge that will again create a premium on gold, and possibly on greenbacks, he wants a law* passed limiting tbe amount of silver that shall be coined into money, all of which seems most reasonable and just. Sherman’s only object is to keep silver, greenbacks, and all mediums of exchange on a par with gold, which is tbe true financial policy and the one that should receive the support of every intelligent citizen. The danger of a silver deluge arises from the exertions made by men interested in silver miuing, who, desiring ,to find sale for their metal,advocate the lree coinage of silver, and consequently confront Sherman’s ideas of what the financial [lolicy of the government should be. As we said last week this is the foundation on which the Democrats have boilt their hopes of a Republican split on the finauecs, and before tbe Democrats got control of congress the Republicans prepared the means by which the admirable results now on record were obtained. Our congressmens hould be careful not to assist the Democrats to the I ' . <- advantage of Republican coniusiou on tbe eve ol a presidential election. It is so plain that the country is satisfied with resumption and its consequences that it seems equally plain there can be no popular support for the measures that tend to defeat Mr. Sherman in maintaining
specie payments on a gold basis. To flood tbe business of the country with depreciated silver like the contemptible Blaud dollars is one of such measures, and the Republicans who advocate it are disturbers for the benefit of tbeDemocrats to the exteut of their advocacy. But we have every confidence that the party will come to a hearty support of the secretary during the remainder of his terra of office, because of the fruits of his policy already enjoyed, and because to destroy them now would be just the folly the Demo crats are longing for. Betweqp a swindle by paying debts for which gold value is due in depreciated silver, and a.swindle by paying them in depreciated paper, there is not any difference. And the Republican party cannot afford to be concerned in a swindle.
Rule For Measuring Hay.
ix circular STACK. Divine, the distance around the base by 3 1-7 and multiply 3 4 of the square of the quotient by onehalf of tbe difference between the quotient and the distance over the stack. . * IX RICK. Multiply one-half of the differ-' ence between tbe width and distance over by the product of the leDgth and width of the rick. MEASUREMENTS. The measurements should all be expressed in feet, Three persons and a tape line are needed to correctly take the distances. Take three distances in order to estimate a rick. , Ist, Tbe width ot base, 2d, The length of base, 3d, The distance over from side to side, closely following contour from a point in one 6ide of base to corresponding point in other side To estimate a stack only two distances are needed—the line should closely hug surface of stack. Ist, The distance around one foot above the base. 2d, The distance-over measured so that if the line was cut through, the stack w’ould be in halves. All who desire to buy or sell hay in the field should preserve this article. These rules will enable you to make an intelligent estimate of the number of cubic feet in any stack or rick of hay. Hay is bought or sold by measurement and estimated by cubes in which the common line of distance is from 7 to 8 feet varying 1-8 of a foot. The number of cubic feet in the cubes from 7 to 8 feet is as follows: 343 361—381 401— 421 443 405—488—512.
To reduce the number of cubic feet to tons divide by the number of feet agreed upon as a ton. This is a matter of contract and depends upon the quality of hay and extent j the stack is settled. The above article has received tbe approval oi Simon P. Thompson, j who has had much experience in j measuring hay, and we believe it can He relied upon as a correct statement ofthe manner hay may be bought and sold by measurement. Aft Boots and Shoes sold at Willey & Sigler’s Trade Palace are warranted and will be made as good as represented*
PERSONAL OPINIONS.
Emprtmti bf Zfpkemiab Eerthtmikofer. IN TBODUCTOKY OPINIONS. Un.atnrml 4c«di do breed unnatural trouble*; Infected minda to their deaf pillow* will Discharge their *ecreW- —Ska tmptar*. Engaging to write a series of articles for a weekly newspaper without having first settled upon some definite “liue of thought” reminds us of a friend who et.tcred into a matrimonial alliance without any visible means of support. But shall we say to tbe readers of the Republican that has not been said a thousand times? Let’s tackel the churches, the various Christian denominations; puncture their imperfections and hold ’em up to a sin-loving world that all may know what is, or rather what is not being done for the salvation of souls. But no, we dare not hinder the gospel or in any way dis-cour-gi- the laborers in the Lord’s viuey aid, loi ;mpiiii’hough it be, the com •- ti e nglii of the world, andChrisii.,nity,“iikt a city >et upon a hill, cannot be hid.” Without the moralizing, christianizing influence of the Bible, the churches, the Christian people, America would-be as benighted as Africa and her people perhaps made more miserable. We’ll not discuss the imperfections of christi— no, not Christianity, for that is perfect—the churches, because no organization is likely to be -benefited by public ridicule or criticism, and no one but a fool will condemn nu evil, real or imaginary, public or private, unless he is able to suggest a remedy. Thai’s a pretty good thought and perhaps it will bear repeating with a closer application: It is safe to set a man down as a fool who condemns the enristian churches aud does not possess the ability or disposition to correct or assist In correcting, the evil.
It it- would be unjust to make publie the weakness of the church would we not be justified in ventilating the false modesty and windy benevolence of Masonry, GUld Fellowship, Knights of Honor, Good Templars, and other would-be secret organizations?; It is charged, you know, that Masons become indifferent to religion,land many have publicly remarked that “Freemasonry is a gqod enough religion for me.” Odd Fellowship stands charged with being a mone^y-mak-ing scheme, whereby the poor are made poorer and the rich are made richer, aud only one in twenty dies with his dues paid up, &c. The Knights of Honor, however it is comparatively a new organization, has also been lightly spoken of and classed with the modern lottery institutions, whereby ninety-nine men draw a blank and one a prize. The Good Tehtplars, as modest, unpretentious and unassuming as they are, could not escape the poison of the slanderer’s longue, and theirs is gossiped as a love-making organization, too much engrossed with Self and pride to extend a helping hand to a poor, besotted soul and assSst’him fro.tn a state of moral degredation and personal pollution to a Christian, footing beneath the tattered banner of temperance. Possibly these organizations, like the churches, have their imperfections, and what the “outsiders? say about them, may in a measure be true, but they must be classed among the thin--- h»> (from •• > >od and tliere-
tor*- • j-.i nxiire. Tlii.», oi * . ii opinion, and for nm* we tu-i.evH* that in ibis matter at least our opinion is correct, for it is ba.*< d upon this principle: Never condemn what you are unwilling or incapable of correcting, and never tear down what you cannot build up. Through public prints the merest nincompoop in the land can destroy moral structlres that required ages to create, but such calamities must be avoided If possible. Let’s repeat: Any tool can teardownbul it takes pn architect to erect! So you have our opinion on this matter—we should never knowingly tear down hut strive diligently to build up. And if this opinion was follow ed, what a happy people we would be. Humanity can truthfully sing: The faults of our neighbors With freedom we blame, , I But tax not ourselves When we practice the same. Perfection is the forerunner of true happiness, and happiness lures us on to the highest degree of moral excellence. Life has no pleasures unless those with whom we must associate are probf against the contaminations of sin; for to live tor self and yet look fur the joys that spring from a virtuous and self-de-nying life would be almost a divine impossibility.
Shakspeare says “A right judg~ ment draws profit from all things we see.” The great misfortune, arising from a disposition to judge others, and meddle with their affairs, consists in being void of genuine philauthrophy. Scavengers of reputation, who gather the faults, blemishes and infirmities of their neighbors for public exhibition, deserve . the punishment accorded demons. Devils blush and angels weep over 6uch dispositions. They are canker worms to a community, the bane of peace in society, and the foul blots of humanity. In our opinion the Almighty detests faultfinders, and like the drunkard, they shall have no part or lot id the kingdom of heaven. Brevity is said to be tbe soul of wit, and as wit is more generally sought after than intelligence, I will endeavor to be brief.
Resources of Jasper County.
BT THE COUNTY SURVEYOR. Allow me to B»y,by way of introduction] that I am not a lamk trader; nor am I writing for any land speculator#; but wish to treat'lhe subject in as impartial manner as possible. I claim that J super county contains tbe natural advantages for becoming on«* of the healthiest and wealthiest counties hi the State. •/ Take a glance at the health reports aud we find/taking character of diseases into consideration, bnt few if any counties in tbe U. S. exceed ours for general good health. Malaria, the only real scourge to our county in the past, is rapidly giving away, and with the increased cultivation of our lands, will almost disappear. . . ■ j Now let ns compare a few figures: Our county square miles, or nearly one-sixtieth part of the State. It has a population of about 7,500, or an average of about sixteen and a half persons to each square mile; while the State has an ►average of about fifty persons per square mile. New- York has an average of 05; Pennsylvania 76; Massachusetts IS7; and I doubt not but our county has as many acres that can be made tillable as any county of its size in the above name.d States. To be as dcnsly populated as Massachusetts would require that we have 103,250 persons in the county, or 14 times our present population, and our rich soil can produce the where-with to feed and clothe that number. Now to make a comparison in dollars and cents we find a still greater discrepency. In order to come up to tbfe average value of the State we must increase the market value of our lands five fold, and the amount of our fann'products four fold, of our manufactured articles nearly forty fold, and yet ludiana is far below what it cau and will be in a few years more. . The entire grain crop of Jasper county for 1870, was placed at a little less than two hundred and Gfty thousand bushels, being about one-fourth as much as Carpenter township alone can produce if well cultivated.
Now we 6ee wfcat our county is, and it remains to be seen why it is thus behind; what it may be by proper development, and how to develop its resources properly. In order to fully understand the needs and wants of our county, I will describe the different portions ofjt in detail. First, 1 shall notice the prairie portion, which consists of about 75 square miles in the south and souths west part of the county, and about fifty square miles in an irregular strip through the center of the county, running east and west. There are several marshes, flats and swamps destitute of timber, differing very much from the tracts of prairie mentioned above. The soil in the prairies is rich, black loam, from 6 to 30 inches in depth, with clay", gravelly or 6and subsoil, and with a few sandy exceptions is superior farm land. Wheat has not been uniformly an entire success in the south part of the county, but perhaps a little more experience will show the cause of failure and the remedy. Other grains do well, especially corn.
Good water can be procured anywhere at a depth from 12 to 25 feet. It comes through a limestone strata that underlies the whole county, and is consequently what is known as hard water. There are but few springs in the county. The land in the prairie part of the county is nearly all improved and held at good prices, from sl2 to 830 per acre exclusive of the improvements. The minerals of tills part are of little value. There is an excellent quarry of stratified limestone on the Alter farm, suitable for building purposes, in section 21, township 27, range 7. There is also a quarry of water limestone on the same farm. Limestone again crops out in section 26, and sandstone iu Carpenter’s grove, section 24. The banks of Carpenter creek, through the grove and above, consists of soft shale or slate, changing in places to blue clay. The clay underlying most of the prairie is ot excellent quality for brick and tile, but in many places it contains too much gravel to be worked successfully. Along Alter’s creek, in Jordan Township, is*a very fine clay which would make good earthenware. But as an agricultural district the prairies of Jasper county cannot be excelled in the west.

Owin" to the inclemency of the weather and the icy condition of the roads, but few teachers were present at tfte association Saturday. Some work, however, was accomplished on the regular programme and the Association was reorganized f<ir the coming year. Officers elected wore as follows. President, W. G. Allen; Vice President, first district, Lewis Alter; second district, Charles W. Coen; third district, J.C.Dnnn;HecordingSeoretary,Miss Amanda Osborne; Corresponding Secretary, E. R. Pierce; Treasurer, Ida Nowels; Executive Committee, G. W. Allen, E. R. Pierce, Lewis Alter, D. M. Nelson, and Miss M. P. Bowles. The next meeting of the Association will be hcld'about of March or the, first of April, thb exact date to be fixed by the Executive Committee at the meeting about February Ist, at which time also a programme of exercises will be adopted and published by the committee. The old constitution of the Association was adopted. Under this constitution, any teacher of Jasper county may become a member of the Association by paying ten cents and signing the constitution. Teachers at a distance, by sending their names and fees to the Recording Secretary, may thus become members of the Association, and will be subject to selection for duty at the next meeting. Eveiy public-spirited and wideawake teacher should be a member of this body. Its object is to elevate and ennoble the profession, it starts out in Its career with every assurance of abundant success in its object. No teacher who prides himself on the earnestness in school work will be left out of this association, for we feel assured that every such teacher will bo a member and will work to support us. Teachers, let us hear from you.

Higher Education.
In a remark made by a teacher io the Association l the subject of broader and higher education was touched upon. The speaker regarded this as one of the legitimate results of the Association. Hundreds of teachers are going from our ranks because they cannot keep up with the times, as they term it. They do not try to keep up. All that is required is a proper spirit of investigation, a taste for reading, either natural or acquired. Teachers, when you conic to the Association In tiie spring, tell the assembly what you have read this winter. I speak without advice from the executive committee, but will guarantee you will- be gladly heard. The teacher who reads earnestly during hiss spare time, wasting no golden moments, will never be compelled to “step down and out.” He will be an ornament to the profession and a valuable citizen.
