RENSSELAER REPUBLICAN. M- HITTERg. Editor. Fki t>xt Woßwryo. Maich. 12. 1880.

Danng February 8,000 foreign emigrants arrived at New York, ninety per cent, of whom will vote the Democratic ticket Henry JPepper, Senator Bayard’s law-partner, was foond dead in bed Wednesday rooming, at Wilmington, Delaware That pepper-box is empty and can be no longer used to season the political pots of the whipping-poyt state. €tty and corporation elections held in Maine, Mondayof last week, recited in Republican victories aid large Republican gains. Gar- « don’s fusion party were completely snored under. Stealing States will not be popular in 1880. The next Indian a Legislature will have some important work before it, viz: To elect a U. 8. Senator, pass upon the revision of the Statutes and enaetlaws conformitory to thi constitntionsl amendments—should said amendments be adopted.? 1

* The indications now are that notwithstanging the zeal manifested by the friends of the several Republican candidates for the presidency the second choice of each of the delegates to tho Chicago convention will be the nominee. The elements seem to be harmonising. The Supreme Court of Indiana has decided that no note after maturity shall draw a higher rate of interest than six per cent., except a note contains the proviso—“until amount is fully paid.” Note holders will do well to remember this and collect when due—if they can. The uninterred remains of the Greenback party in this district met at Shelbyville yesterday, and went throngh *the dismal ceremony of nominating h candidate for Congress. The person selected to head the funeral procession was Dr. De La Matyr, whose attachment to the !ite lamented d&ring its life, justly entitles him to. the position of ohief mourner.—lnd. Journal. ■ ■ ■ ■— A boy named Yoankin, aged fifteen, has been sent to the penitentiary for two years, from Fountain county, for consealing a stolen pocket-book containing seventy-five rents in money and a promissory note for twenty dollars. Jf he had stolen a bank or embezzled some wealthy stock company he might to day be enjoying life and liberty among the nobby young men of bis town.

. Brick Pomeroy went home from the St. Louis Greenback convention, last week, K “mader’n a wet hen,” and slipping behind the barn kicked himself into the conviction that he is an old fool andf'shll never have anything more to ; do with such an pograteful party. In a recent issue bf his paper he says he has spent a Ground fortune for the cause; has been abused by those who ought to help their servants; has been left in the larch by hundreds ot men; been sucked dry and roundly abused by. a score of Greenback editors whose papers hediad helped to keep alive, till at last he is convinced that a man of principle receives more cuffs than coppers in the discharge of duty. One by one the pillars of the Greenback tabernacle are toppling to the earth to rise no more forever. . *

. % f Another advance in the price of white news printing paper makes that commodity worth 11 cents per pound in the market. This will cause another outcry by tbe newspapers against tbe duty on this article. But the principle of protection properly applies to the manufacturers of newspapers as well as the manufacturers of pig iron, and .the former can no more afford to take an unfair advantage than the latter.. We do not believe that the present high price of paper is due .10“ a combination! among the manufacturers, bat to tbe great demand there ifrnow for it. All manufacturers of goods on which there is now a protective duty are on their good behavior, and- they probably know very well that if they do not behave themselves by moderation ia profits and thereby lose the protection they now have, they will hose it lor a long time to come. Tbe way for them to lose it is to kreep prices np by combination for pnrposes of extortion from consumers. And consumers of white news printing paper are a class who will icafce very load and effectual complaint when they find ont they are being imposed upon.

The Republican as a Campaign Document.

Whether Grant or Blaine shall be nominated at Chicago on June 2, and Tilden or Bayard at Cincinnati on Jane 22, the certainty is that we are about beginning a most excited and vigorous presidential straggle between two great political partiea nearly equally divided in- voting strength. The eonatry will be stirred to iu depths by the movements of tbe two competing armies of canvassers, and discussion rUi wax hot wherever men holding

opposite views may assemble.— Every man will be compelled, If the instinct of patriotism and of interest in public affairs is not dead In bis breast, to take one aide or the other, and advocate the election of either the Republican or Democratic national ticket. In Indiana we also have the responsible duty of electing next fall a full State ticket and any man who has nothing but indifference and neglect for what is occurring under circumstances of profound agitation, fraught with high promise and great peril to the future of the 'country, Is indeed unfortunate and is debarred from some of the leading pleasures and privileges of eitizensbip. The war will be one of words antil the dsy comes for easting the ballots, and then the party that has taken the deepest interest from the most intelligent standpoint in the issues on which controversy has raged, will be successful. The political will be faithfully reported in all its bearings and considered in all its manifold details in the newspaper press, and the Republican will perform its full share of this work in strenuous efforts to advance the welfare of the country through the success of the Republican party, its men and its measures. An important chapter in the history of the country is about to be written, and all the events and data from whioh the record is to be made np will be given promptly and fully as they occur.

The powers of the government will be given by the result of the next November election to the Republican party, whose strength is at the north, built op on the progressive,, liberal ideas prevailing at the north and demonstrated by evidences of industrial and social development and popular respect for equal rights; or the powers of the government will be given to the Democratic party, whose strength is at tbe south, built np on the aristocratic and narrow ideas prevailing at the south, and demonstrated by evidences of contempt for honest industry and healthful social improveraenfrjout of the poverty, prejndices and ignorance of tbe past, and a sinister disregard for tbe righto of any but the strongest. Tbe Republican will be found during the canvass consistently and faithfully advocating a continnance of power in tbe hands of the Republican party, which represents just political and social influences, and it will be tbe best document daring the campaign for increasing the Republican vote in Jasper county. One dollar will pay for it from the present date till tbe first of January, 1881.

Gillam Township Items.

Business in Giilam is almost prostrate at the present timo on account of the almost impassable roads. The growing wheat looks well considering the open winter, and tbe amount of rain that has fallen. There is scarcely any one that claims to be well, and there is some severe sickness. . The families of A. Pullins and W. B. Querry are having sickness at the present time. Mr. Blaze who has been sick so long with erysipelas, is slowly convalescing. The grim monster death has visited ns again, and called from onr midst one of onr most honored citizens; E. S. Brewer, formerly known as one of the leading merchants of Medaryville. The schools are all closed but -,one. The probabilities are that there will be ht least three months summer school, (a good chance for the lady teachers) which will begin abont the second Monday in April. The Republicans of Giilam met at the nsual place of bolding elections, Feb. 27, 1860, and orgonized a Township Central Committee, composed of the following persons: A. G. Robb, Chairman; J. R. Guild, David Ratbfon, Joseph Mason, and L. S. Mitchell.. Tbe best of feeling prevailed throughout, and the Republicans of Giilam are looking forward to a glorious victory.

J. Kiser, editor ot the Winamac Republican, in reviewing the prominent individuals he met at tbe congressional convention, has this to say abont two citizens of Rensselaer: We met a number of gentlemen who have Congressional aspirations. Mr. S. P. Thompson, of Jasper county, stands among the foremost on the list. Mr. Thompson we have known for many years, and know him to be capable for the position. He is a live, energetio man; a sound Republican, and would faithfully represent the district. One of his peculiarities is, that anything he thinks worth doing at all, he also thinks is worth doing well, and he carries ont this principle io all his business and political relationa. Without detriment to any other gentleman named, Mr. Thompson is well-fitted for the offiee to which he aspires. H. £. James, of Rensselaer, makes a good presiding offieer, and gave the convention a good <( send-off” in calling it to order. We hope tbe Jeople of the State will make Mr. am cs Secretary of State. He has excellent qualifications for the office. A forlorn hope: Trying to maintain the organisation of the greenback party— a party that ia ao dead that it stinks and shinea and shines and stinks like a rotten mackerel by moonlight.— -Flora Records

Dtehaww is Bequlrei tm rmj for Bbeeliaß Albert 6.UVA Wssai er easy virtue the ; Cum er the DiMceitj. Kentland, Ixi>., March ft, 1880. tditrr Smmtlatr BrpmbUeem Bur Sir: The case of tbe State vs. Robert M. Dickson in the Newton Circuit Court, was tried last week, engaging tbe court two days, including two night sessions. Tbe indictment charged Dickson with an assault and battery with intent to kill one Albert G. Livings. The particulars of thd battery charged was shooting Livings with a revolver, just above the left knee. Tbe evidence, briefly stated, showed that Dickson for some four years bas been proprietor of a blacksmith shop in the town of Goodland; that Livings engaged to work in Dickson’s shop on the 30th of October, and continued iu bis employ until the time of the shooting, o\i November 8, 1879; that the employer and employe were brother Masons, and on the best terms ot friendship daring 811 this time, spending much of their time out of the shop together; that Dickson had a wife and a home • % while Livings seemed to have neither and boarded; that tbe men spent the evening together previous to day of shooting; on the morning of the Bth they both went to the shop as usual; Dickson proposed to “look over the accounts and see how we stand;” this was done harmoniously and apparently to the satisfaction of both; D. then told L. that he (D.) was going home, and when be came to his dinner he might bring to D's. house a piece of work L. W3S then finishing for D’s. 6tove; that L. took the work as requested D., in the presenco ot bis wife, accused L. of seducing her, ordered him ont of tbe boose and at once drew bis revolver; that L. caught him and being the stronger finally succeeded in overcoming him and got hold of the revolver —using no more violence than necessary to save himself, and much less than tbe law would have justified—but not until D. had fired two shots, one of which took effect in L’e. left limb, immediately above the knee; that D. promised to shoot no more and L. released him and walked away. The woman’s story to her husband, as related by him to tbe jury was that L. came to tbe house in September, Bet down beside her on the lounge, put his arm around herwaist and gave her some candy; that when they had been together thus about thirty minutes she lost all control of herself and all physical motive, but retained her consciousness; that L. then carried her up a narrow stairway, passing through three rooms and into,the fourth, where he laid her on the bed and basely violated her person; that again iu October, some thirtyfour days after the first scene related, L. came again and in the afternoon, as before, pulled lier down on his knee, gave her candy again, producing the Bame effect and again carried her up stairs, repeating all the details ot the first criminal act.

This absurd 6tory was denied in teto by L., as well as any kind of illicit intercourse with Mrs. D. Livings also claimed that Dickson owed him nearly 8150 on their settlement that morning, which D. dented. The State was represented by Frank W. Babcock, prosecuting attorney, assisted by John 11. Ash, Esq..,j»nd tbe defendant bv Messrs. P. 11 Ward and J T Sanderson Ilis H •jnot, Tvlgc Hamm nd, gave tbe law to the Jury in plain and concise iiistrnetiutis, among other tilings telling them that the alleged seduction story of the wife could not be considered as a justification of the shooting, but, if considered at all, could only be taken into con sitieration in mitigation of the punishment. The jury were out five hours, and to the surprise of every one who heard the trial, returned a verdict for assault and battery and a fine

Cincinnati is to have two national conventions this year—the “National Starch Manufacturers” and the Democratic conventions. It was a very happy thought of the starch manufacturers to meet a little in advance of the Democrats, and we trust they will have a few pots ready mixed. A strip of good starch applied to Democratic spines might stiffen them up. The fact is the Democrats “have bad the starch taken out of them” so often of late years that there is mighty little of the raw material on hand. Republicans will like the amusement, and next November all the starch on the continent will not make a Democrat stiff enough to stand alone.— Inter Ocean. The Voorhees exodus boom seems to have subsided. “The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash” has not added a leaf or a branch to his political foliage. It was a case of “great expectations.” The failure has bee* mortifying. The Indiana Sycamore is no longer vigorous; like the Democratic party, it is probably hollow at the butt, and destined soon to suocumb to the winds.—lnter Ocean*-

REMINGTON RAMBLES.

It will cost over three hundred dollars to repair the damage done to the roof of the Morgan block, by tbe tornado of the 4th inet. One man who started for Nebraska last week was followed to Peoria by one of his creditors and induced to part with S7O of hit surplus funds. <;• c The Blue Ribbon Society gave another concert and entertainment, laet Saturday evening, whioh was a decided snccesss, and materially replenished the funds of the treasury. Marshal Brunson has gone to Michigan City to work in a refrigerator factory, and Charley Legg goes to Monticelio, this week. Thus one by one the familiar faces of old friends vanish from sight. Persons who were on the train between TV oleott and this place during the blow last Thursday evening say that tbe cars were brought almost to a stand-still, so iminent was tbe danger of being blown from tbe track. Had the wind been a little more southerly tlie oars would undoubtedly have been ditched.

The Littlefield-Ladd imbroglio causes more excitement in Chicago via. Rensselaer than in this place. Were it not for the Rensselaer Republican,'no attention would be given the subject here. Undoubtedly both parties are in the wrong, and people here care very little which wins. Neither'of them occupies a very large share of tbe thoughts of tbe public. Prof. Tice lectured to a small audience last Thursday evening, on tbe subject of Meteorology. During bis lecture, occurred the wind storm. If it was for his benefit that the tornado made its appearance, it is to be hoped be will give Remington a wide berth hereafter. He was brought here by the temper-, ance society but financially the enterprise was a failure. Two brothers, Albert and Frank Ellis bad a slight disagreement on last Thursday, with one William Myers, brother to tho one who bought and run off the stolen horse* Such complimentary and pet names as d—d liar and son of a were freely passed and then came blows. On trial, it being proven that Myers only did the wind work of the fight he was acquitted, while the Ellises kindly contributed $2.50 each to the school fund. The switch end of a tornado struck Keuiington, Thursday evening, March 4tb, and for a brief period made things exceedingly lively. The tin was stripped from the roof of Morgan’s block, rolled np like paper ard whisked out into the street. A barn in the northern part of town, belonging to John Jordan, wss blown down, killing a valuable horse and demolishing a fine buggy. Two horses In the same barn were unhurt, though firmly wedged in among the debris. Besides these two cases, no serious damage was done, save the oapsiz ing of sundry 4x6 out buildings, tearing down fences and toppling over a few chimneys.

Six Indiana Congressmen being interviewed by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, expressed their choice for President as follows: - _ Hon. J 4 11. Baker—My personal preference is Blaine. He is strong in Indiana. Grant alsohasstrength and Washburne is far from being weak. - . ’ lion. W. A. Calkins—l am for Blaine, and so is Indiana. - General Tom Browne—l am for Blaine first, Sherman second, Grant third. Popular o|yftion in Indiana is divided betw>eerf Blaine and Grmt, with Blaiiytrahead. Hon. Wm. Heilman—l am for Sherman, hot Indiana is for Blaine. lion Calvin Cowgill—l am personly •inclined to favor Sherman. Blaine appears to be the choice of tbe State, although Grant has many friends. Hon, Godlove S. Orth—l stated in an interview published in the Enquirer in 1878, that Grant would be nominated and elected. Like the laws of the Medes and Persians, I never change. It is hard to tell the choice of the State.

Mr. Voorhees’s committee will have a work on hand now, which, if it can find time to attend to it will keep it' employed. A large number of white Kentucky Democrats have just arrived at Greencastle. One of the newcomers said to a gentleman to whom he applied for work, that freq, tickets were furnished to the eutire party; and that arrangements have been made to import large bodies of Kentuckians to vote the Democratic ticket. This State ia to be overrun with these importations for the purpose of beating Repnblieans at the elections. Prominent Democrats are in the movementjand funds are being obtained to provide free transportation to all "who will come. This is an exodus that the Tall Sycamore will pot dare to investigate.—Lafayette Journal.

Edited - byP.B.Nowm, Co. Sapcr.ntendeat. There were sixtj-foar applicants for license passed the examination laat Saturday,the almost impassable condition of tho roads to the contrary notwithstanding. At Remington the Saturday before, thirtyfive would-be teachers presented themselves to give a reason tor the faith that i« in them. When so many are aspiring to positions in our schools it furnishes school officers an excellent opportunity to oboose from them all the fittest and tbe best. There is and will ever be a demand for more competent instruction and it speaks well for the teachers of Jasper county to be able to say that they are striving to supply this demand. The motto of many brave, true teachers of old Jasper to day is “Excelsior.”

A Normal.

Rensselaer is 'to have another Normal this summer. This has beeu definately determined upon and an announcement is made in reply to many inquiries concerning it. Farther information will be forthcoming shortly. Circulars giving full details as to cost of board, length of term, features of the school, tfcc., will be issued soon. Till then let us say that we pro*pose having the best Normal ever held in Rensselaer and that there will be new features introduced and carried out which will be to invaluable to not only those who expect to be teachers but those who are teachers. We propose further that tl\is shall be the most inexpensive sohool to the students who come from Jasper and adjoining counties, of any other they may have the privilege of attending.

The School Home.

The school should be a home for the children. In the absence of a compulsory education statute, something ought to be done to make the school room attractive. What is that “something?” It is, it must be that essence of home, the deas* est spot on earth, pervaving every nook and recess. In this country where rich and poor alike are brought up in the same society, educated in the same school, and partaking in common of the equal blessings of freedom, there is much necessity of this home spirit on the school premises. The children of affluence accustomed to luxury and the surroundings of wealth, should find the equivalent for these in the home-like atmosphere of the school. Tho children of toil should meet a “Highland welcome” in tlie school. “Red tape”destroys this. Where so much form exists, sociability is excluded. Military discipline may be the thing for the army, but it kills a school. The teacher by its means may secure a “quiet school,” but it will be the silence of mental death, the quiet of a broken spirit. If the children in most our “form schools” were permitted for a single day to take the liberties which are given to an equal number of adults in tho colleges and normal schools where teaohers ave educated, they would regard it as a holi* day. The teacher, by making his school a pleasant home and treating his pupils as trusted and esteemed companions, drawing no line of demark ation betweeu the rich and poor, treating old and young alike, cultivating interest in all his pupils, and befriending “even the' least of these,” no matter how or where his lot be cast. “I have no home;” for ho will have a home in the hearts of the ohildrcn, a dwelling place in the kiud memories of men and women to be, and finally “blessings in the gales” before the King of teachers who taught a homelike school
