Every rote cast ag*io»t the State constitutional amendments will be • Dc-mOe voteIf yon want fair electieua and no fraada, vote for th* State constitutional amendment*. . It waa a Democratic legislature tint framed and recommended the amendments to the State eonaUta non, '6«t~ fearing they' have prepared a grave for their own burial the Democratic party is now attempting to defeat them at the April election. The Rdthester Republican and Delphi Journal have each favorably mentioned Mr. J. Keiser, editor of the Winamac Republican, aa a very acceptable candidate for congressional honoys, believing that should he be nominated he could lead the party to victory in this district. Bro. Keiser is by no means the lea«t among the congressional aspirants, and there la no candidate outside of Jasper county we would more willingly support than La. All the pensioners who hate claims pending before the pension bjjreaa and arc enduring suffering and privation because they cannot get the money due them, will take notice that the Democratic party s*-eongress is alone responsible for thbdMay. The leaders of the southern wing of that party have made the objections that have hampered the necessary legislation for the payment of the claims, and seem determined to continue their policy of obstruction.' Give them * the credit, ancTbear it in mind. A favorite procedure with despotic rulers of parties is to “instruct” delegates to national conventions to cast their votes for some particular candidate. It is a method which gives political jugglers great power, especially when the States so instructing send large delegations. Combinationscan bemade Uy the managers which enable them to subserve their own interests, and this in most cases is the real objeet. It binds the whole strength of a State to the scheme of a faction, and thus becomes the worst of imHpossitions upon those classes within .»a party who have a right to be heard in the selection of candidates. It may and often does bring about results •which defeat the} popular choice, and this is the intent of the thimble rigging polititions who employ and enforce It. Gen. Longstreet was a noted supporter of the southern confederacy, who, since the war, has been acting with the Republican party. Grant gave him an office in New Orleans, and this it was alleged was the price of his desertion from the confederate cause as inherited by the Democratic party. In consequence he was tabooed and ostrastzed in the sonth, and denounced by the party organs in the north as a shameless renegade. He seems not, indeed, to have committed any greater offense than that of acknowledging fairly and fully that the confederate cause and the confederate theory of our government were dead, and that the national cause and the national theory .as maintained and upheld by those whocarriedthe country victoriously through tho long war upon both, were hereafter to prevail. But this was an offense sufficiently heinous te-make Longstreet an alien in his own country, and he has been in that condition ever since. Lately he has made his appearance again as an advocate oi the nomination of drant, on the specious plea that Grant alone can carry certain southern States. The plea of course is rediculous, Longstreet may help carry the southern vote* for Grant in the Chicago convention, but he •annot do anything whatever towards securing him effective help in the south in the election. Il is nonsense for him to talk about the ‘•enthusiasm’’ of the negros for Grant All their enthusiasm will avail nothing, since the Democratic managers have the . manipulation of the ballot boxes and the countiog oi the votes. No Republican will get an electorial vote from any, southern State,no matter what the popular vote may be.

Crucifying Grant.

The Philadelphia Times, an independent journal of national celebrity, declares that the _ao called victory for Grant in Pennsylvania, instead of being an honorable victory for the ex-president, is s “not merely a fraud and a falsehood, but a crucifixion of Giant before the world.” And the Chicago Times, another, independent journal, calls it M a triumph for Grant at the cost oF sacrifice sash humiliation.” The reasons are theeer Twice has Gen, Grant been, named the candid ate of the Republican party for president by unanymous acclaim, no voice dissenting or objecting. :, These were high honors, never before bestowed by any political party on any citiaen since Washington, Of all the American presideurtsubefore Grant, Washington, was - by the unanymous rUW9 sis. those who f* v owd, tfjo geu •

seat of Washington an honor to Grant itot le| in dfgreeMhan paid to its eminent military leader in the first revolutionary struggle. A nomination made only by overcoming the opposition of a considerable minority would imply that a -coweiderable section of the party formerly placed in him—-would im* ply that hr had fallen in the estimation of his own political friends from his former worthiness to occupy the high place in ‘ history awarded to none other but Washington. It would be an act of self abasement, a voluntary stepping down from the historic niche of, Washington to that lower plate of very comtnojß presidential aspirants who squabble tor a prise against an unwillingness among their, own partisans to award it to them. It would be a sacrifice of the highest honors ever bestowed on an American citizen for an object whose attainment could add no higher honor*, while its methdd would detract greatly from their lustre.’, This is ibe best view of it, founded bn the supposition that he would be elected. Should he fall of election it would hardly be possible to measure the depth of the fall. This view of the case fully sustains the strong language above quoted, that the instructions for Grant by the Pennsylvania convention, carried by only a lean majority, and through political pressure which had to be employed to save the credit of Senator Cameron, are a“crucifixion of Grant before the world.”

REMINGTON RAMBLES.

Your correspondent has been censured tor not telling more the marriage of Mr. John Ford and Miss Laura Timmonds. He told all he knew. Not being a witness,, of course be could not give a description of the bride’s dress and appearance of the bridal presents. There was no elopement, abduction or anything to create a sensation. They were married as they had a right to be and that is enough. • The old Agricultural Implement establishment ofS. M. Black’s has been sold to Majk Phelps, who . in addition, carries a stock of general hardware. That old unfinished cornice over the stone corner has been completed. Had this been done before the tornado, three weeks ago, the tin roof would probably have remained uninjured. . The temperance society two weeks ago voted to have a weekly paper read, and appointed 11. K. Payne, editor, with Miss Mary Draper, assistant. Last Saturday evening the first number was read at the meeting and was well received. Its witioisius caused much merriment and the articles of sober sense were full of good advice and appealed to the better judgment of all. Apropos of the temperance movement, one or two who were prominent appendages to the tail of Jimmy Dann’s kite while that gentleman(?) was here last summer, have soured on him and all other tramp lectures. Yet some of our citizens of known temperance principles, habits and practice were soundly abused and falsified because they saw fit to have no hand in the flying of that longtailed kite. “A change has come over the spiritof their dreams,” and the flyers propose to fall back on home talent. Every man has a right to his own belief provided ’that belief is founded on reason and common sense. * . ' Geo. F. Bloom has been confined to bis bed, for several days with typhoid-pneumonia.

General Streight for Governor.

Judging from the Urae of the State press, there is a regal ar boom in the air for the nomination of Gen. A. D. Streight as the Republican candidate for Governor. Other good men and true are also mentioned, and it ia a mighty healthy symptom to see so many offering their names, as it indicates a widespread belief that Indiana means to retrieve her reputation this year by ceasing to be the cracker for the tail of the Southern confederacy kite. But Gen. Straight eeeme <•< combine more of of success than any other candidate. His army record is one in which th® entire State can take pride, *ns be ■was emphatically a fighting General, giving the rebel* in his front nd* rest by day or night. Cool to thtrepedity, and brave to a fault, he knew that the war could hot be ended without fighting, and waa always ready and willing to do hia share. Early in 1863 he was taken prisoner by the rebels, while lead ing a raid into the very heart of the Confederacy—a fate that he expected when ordered to take command of the expedition. He was confined fora period of some months at Libby prison, finally effevting one of the most daring and iogenb*. ous escapes on record. For days and weeks be chased through forest and 1 swamps by rebels and blood-hounds, but at last baffled his brutish and brutal pursuers, and arrived safely within the Union lines. Gen. Streight saw from the start that the attempt to nationalize slavery would eventuate in war, and was prepared for the conflict when it came. He took the field early, and remained on duty at the post of danger until the last gun was fired. He was an original abolitionist, and as early as 1860 wrote a book intended to arouse the North to a sense ot the perils that environed the nation. Since the war he has been a stalwart in politics, always advocating the fullest measure of rights and protec-, tion for every citizen. Personally he is the soul of energy, and if nominated, will see and talk with wellnigh every voter in the State. He is a good speaker and a cool counsellor, and would give direction and force to the campaign. His civil record is brief but honorable. He has represented his county once or twice in the State Legislature, giving his voice and vote only to measures calculated to advance the best interests of the people, with whom he is thoroughly identified both as an extensive farmer and successful business man.—Rochester Republican. Horace E. James, Jasper county’s candidate for Secretary of State, is highly recommended by the newspapers of the State. In the campaign of 1876 Mr. James participated as editor of the Rensselaer Union and the writer conducted a newspaper at Remington; end persons who read the two papers about that time are aatiafied that we are pretty well acquainted. We know Mr. James ia well qualified for the position to which he aspires, and no one would be belter pleased to see him elevated to that position than ourself.—Goodland Herald. F. J.

Rail Road News.

IWnew company takes the name of M foe ?8th r iMt., each’ to the con* tract being allowed twenty days in’ which to perfect arthngements. The fltet movement of the new management will be the change of the line hence to Beaas-laer to a standard gauge, which will be done as soon after the Ist of April as possible. Work will be st once pushed forward on the link which will ooaaect Rensselaer with Dalton, Illinois, and much of the grading being already oompleted.-lt is confidently expected that the road will be opened tbrosgh to Chicago by the beginningof August B. W. Ha bard, Esq.. President of the Citizens’ Bank ot this city, acts as trustee for the two companies, far th© reception and custody of the securities. The. legal ■ matters connected with the transfer hvae been conducted by Harry Crawford, Esq., the eminent rail road attorney ot Chicago. For the present Colonel Yeoman will remain in authority, with bis headquarters in .bis city. By this change, the prospects of the line from Indianapolis to Chicago have been materially brightened, and there is no loagoi pay doubt concernlag ths prompt completion of the road. The “Indianapolis and Chica . go Air Liae Railroad Company** is composed of some of the wealthiest and most enterprising capitalists of Chicago. They have already completed and in operation a road from Chicago to Dalton, a distance of about twenty miles, and are in possession of an entrance to the city of Chicago, which latter ot itself is worth not Jess than $2,000,000. In fact, the>rfgit of way into that city compose} a franchise almost impossible to obtain.' At present there is not one ot the several lines from the Indiana capital to Chicago which passes over its own track into the latter city. All must and do pay a heavy sum annually to roads which own the right of way into the Illinois metropolis. The new road will be the proprietor ot every depexrf track betwean the two cttiVs; ah advantage which will he apparent it a glanc<S. The Indianapolis and Chicago will be an exact air line, and dbout thirty miles shorter than any Other. Any person having the curiosity to prove this assertion can do ■ so by placing a rule on the map. It will then be seen that tke straight line will cross the "Wabash road between Delphi and Colburn, a distance of perhaps three miles west of this city, and at no point will the route of the new road deflect more than five miie» from tho direefrline. It Is more than probable that With in a sbor time the new company will secure control of tho proposed road from here to lodianapolls/and being possessed of boundless energy and almost unlimited resources, will push the work forward to an early completion. By the beginning of the year 1881 ft Is confidently expected that the entire line from Indianapolis to Chicago will bo completed and thor ougbly equipped ready to compete for the local and thro'ugh traffic. The former will, for the reason that the road passes through the verv best section of the Slate, be considerable, and Its advantages as a through line, when it is considered that it Is shorter by thirty miles than any competing route, and owns every mile of track used, cart not be over-estimated; The effect which the change will have upon the interests of Delphi is naturally the first point to be considered. The 1., D. &C. Company had an agreement to locate the shops of the road at this place, but it was really ot no bindFbgforce.as there was no •security for its fulfillment given. The Times is of toe opinion—and the view is shared by citizens whose judgment fe valuable—that the shops' of the nww joad wNrtre located in Delphi. -• Our city Is as near as may be half way between Indianapolis and Chicago, being, as a matter of fact, just ten miles south of the central point.— While Delphi is thus near the geographical center it is directly the center j>f the commercial business and population of the line of the road. It will - thus naturally torin the termini of the two divisions of which will 1 compose the roa3, and will appear at once as the proper location for the shops and offices of the road. Tho advantages to the city of Delphi by the change of gauge and the passage of th»road into the hqnds of a company provided with abundant resources wilj prove almost incalculable.— The natural resources of Carroll county are yet largely undeveloped. In the past we have been made to pay tribute to one lino of road, and hundreds of pur citizens can testify that the tribute has been exacted to the uttermost farthing. One of our most productive industries, that of lime, has been almost wholly stagnated by the absence of competition in treightg®— The/possibilities of the lime trade of Delphi Is really unlimited, and the opening up of such markets aa Chicago and. Indianapolis will infuse into it such life ae even o ir moet sanguinely pregreestveciti zen stutveiteverYfraatted of. The same will prove true of our other productions, such as grain, live stock, lumber, etc. From the moment the first train passes over a standard gauge road from Delphi to Indianapolis er Chicago our city and county will feel the effects of the tn fusion of new life, and our people will thank that good angel which led them to lend their tnflnence and material aid to the Indianapolis and Chicago railroad.
