ML' BITTERS, Editor. Friday Morning. May 7.1880.

• The corporation election, Monday, TU a very tame affair. Postmaster-general Key has been appointed. United State® judge for the eastern and middle district of Tennessee, vice Judge Trigg, deceased, and baa accepted the position. James N. Tyner, the First Assistant P. M. General, i§ talked of as bis successor-. According toUiieleJimmy’e story, His brother. Major McEsrin, and General McCleliau, wera the only great men in the Union army dor* ing the late war. ‘lt.is a little strange, however, that they shcnld .become rebel sympathizers so soon alter they were dismissed from the service. -J" Men of principle admire an open political enemy, bat detest a sneaking, colluding trickster. When the Democrats of Jasper county stand together on a platform of principles they may hope to enjoy the respect of the community, if nothing more. At present they are badgering each other, and the leading Greenbackers call them willing dopes. Some of the leading Democrats cf Rensselaer say- that if Lyman Zen was not sneh a radical they believe he would do a better job of editing the Democratic Sentinel than Uncle Jimmy. That silly twaddle in the last issue acted like an emetic oh every reader. But Jimmy is an old barnacle on the body politic that is not so'easy to get rid of. Uncle Jimmy is not very bright, bat he can see a mountain when it is held square up before hia eyes, without being tapped on the back' of the head with a club. He is beginning to conclude that the Greenback party ia too near dead to attempt to resuscitate it by the infusion of Democratic blood. This, supported by a wholesome fear of a shower of Democratic old boots hurled against his posterior, may iuduce him to forego the ‘’Greenbnck idea” for the present and use hi*? feeble efforts in the support of his own party. T Any assertion or intimation that Uncle Jimmy may make to the effect that any person assists us in the editorial work on the Repcblici\, may be pat down as positively false. Every article, not otherwise credited is purely editorial work, with the exception of an occasional church or society local. We purpose furnishing the brains aod the muscle for this office so long as it remains, onr property, and the prospects are that no change will be made for several years. UncTe Jimmy may sacrifice manhood and party principles for the sake of colluding with the Greenbackers, but lie should not bnrden his soul with snch glaring falsehoods. ♦The Kentland Gazette says “the G reenbackars of Jasper conn ty,h ave captnred the Democratic party and 1 are going to drive the coming campaign, so says the Rensselaer RercDi.iCAK.” Not exactly the party, Bro. French, but a few Greenbackers have captnred the party organ, and will whip the old line Democrats into submission if possible. - As the mouth piece of his party Uncle Jimmy his always been * failure. During his stay in Monficello,’ White county merged from a Democratic majority of three hundred to a solid Republican majority, and since he has been here the Democrats- of Ja»per county have been constantly losing ground. It is true that by colluding with the Greenbackers each party secured a county office, but that result was brought about by the work of an editor who has more brains than Uncle Jimmy can'ever hope to possess. The General Conference of the M- E. Church is now in session at Pike’s Opera House, Cincinnatf. \ erily Christianity is progressive. Twenty 'years ago it would have beqir considered saorilegious to offer worship in a place dedicated to the service of the devil, and we still have some doubta abbot the Lord being pleased - with the arrangement. It is true He promised that “Where two or three are gathered together in ray name there will'l be in the midst of them;” bat that was before the days of Black Crooks and can-cans. He demanded that he should be worshiped in holy places in the days of Moses, Samuel and David, and it is highly probable lie has not changed bit opinion in regard to this matter. To the nonprofessional world the Methodist ohuroh is sanctioning the perpetuation of opera booses and all places of licentious amusement, the very thing* they are expected to condemn. Christians are commanded to “come out from the world - ,” but in this instanoe they are truckling “to the things of the world.** We 'may all of us make up our minds that we know all we are going to find out as to whether Grant and T'ddeo are candidate* until the conventions meet. ' There it very little donbt that both are caniidates—iu -fact there is no doubt

.ent that State from being .wept by Blaine if possible, and Tilden controlled the Svrtcms oonTcntion for no other purpose than to be Mmoated by the Democrats at Cincinnati. Suppose, now, that, these two men should be nominated; r does * it appear probable that either will make a strong popular run* and if aeitber can command the enthusiastic support of the rahk and file of bia own party, will not the situation be one promising and fall of good ohapees for the election of a third candid ate? Their nominations would, we believe, produce s third party into which there would be a large begira from both -the old parties; and how strong the new organization would be no man can tell. No matter what the Democrats may do, it is the business of the Republicans to nominate a man whose strength will retain the entire support of Repoblicans, to avoid this danger of having our forces weakened by a possible third candidate. If Grant shonld be nominated, there are thousands of Repoblicans who will be ready from that moment to avail themselves of the opportnnity of voting for a third candidate; and there will be twenty days between the Chicago and Cincinnati conventions in which this dissatisfied element can Show to the dissatisfied among the Democrats their determination and strength. The nomination of Tilden following that of Grant would quite naturally produce the result we have indicated, but if the Republicans nominate Blaine there is no contingency that can arise capable of alienating a considerable element of Republicans, no matter whom the Democrats may take up. This is a matter in which contingencies should be provided against, and the b«at means of preventing a division of our vote is to give the people their choice. We cannot as ford to take the chances where we can enjoy a certainty so far as anything in politics can be certain. Defeat this year would probably be defeat for many years to come, possibly it might result in the ccmpiete retirement of the Republican party from the field of National politics. So we must have united ranks and a unity of purpose, with which the Republican paj-ty is certain of victory.

The Laporte Argos, a stanch Democratic journal, whose editor will not sacrifice the principles of his party for office, has this to say about colluding Greenbackers: The party has dwindled down to such 6mall proportions that it scarcely cuts any figure in political estimates now, and the people in general have almost forgotten that there ever was such a political faction seriously contending in the field, but there is still a class of hopeful spirits who aeem to think they will yet build op a great party on the fiat idea of money, but in spite of these cheefiol prophets, the party is becoming more and more fiat in numbers every day, and there is not a valid doubt that the close fighting ot the presidential campaign will grind the greenbackers to political powder, and there will hardly be enough left of them to prove that they ever had an existence.

LOCAL GOSSIP.

bt iso-qrois.

Dr. F. P. Bitters went to Valporaiso last Saturday. Frank Warren is building a dwelling three miles north of town. The Misses Alice and Ada Hopkins are visiting at Lafayette. “Dr.” Norm Warner gives his chickens Brandritb's pills as a “sure cure” for influenza or whatever it is thnt ails his poultry. They cure. There will be an abundance of fine poultry in this county this year if the chicken cholera and wild “varrninta’/do not interfere as there are a large number of bruders at work this year. Mr. G. W. Allen and Misses Eva Halstead and Candace Boroughs started to Danville last Tuesday, to attend the Indiana Central Normal /or a time. Elmer Dwigging,Delos Thompson and Charles Warner departed Monday morning for the same place. There were but two pupils of the Grammar department of the public schools promoted to the High school at the ezamintion at the close ot the term last week* They were Willie Ralph and Mary Washburn. WHlieliad 76 per cent, and Mary 84. They did not attend very many parties during the past term of school. tfhe Cincinnatti Enquirer, one of the great Democratic papers in the west, rightly thinks that General Straight will be the Republican nominee for Governor and thus warns tbe Democracy ot Indiana against him; And, in that event, the Democracy will be compelled to select their very strongest mao as bis competitor. A man of splendid physique, of dauntless will, and the most ceaseless energy, possessed of the idea, which he has tbe faeility of impressing upon others that the Demoeralio party is a dangerous party; a mao able to command, practically, unlimited means, and who will never acknowledge defeat until tie official returns are is from tbe slashes; a man more tßair ordinarily popular with the laboring men, with whom he has sustained intimate relation*, to say nothing of the capitalists of the State; a man whose character oaa not be successfully assailed, and, above all, one whom the soldiers will traits upon to a man, will not he a pony antagonist for the Demoeralio masses to enoounter. They may at well, ufiderlhe oircumstances,begin picking their flints and- taking aim at General A. D. Straight . . ,

A CONTRAST.

gannmnt On tin J7U, of Dne., 1860, James Bnchanan being then President and the Democrat* having been in power for a long term .of year*, Congress authorized an issue of 610,006,000 of one-year treasnry notes, to be disposed of at the best attainable rate*. The Democracy were not able to ran the government on the revenue, bat had to borrow money totneet current expenses. Before this, in Jane, 1860, Bachanan’s Secretary of the Treasury was borrowing money at 12 per cent, per annum. This was in a'time of profound peaoe and fonr months before Abraham Lincoln which the Democrats made a pretext for tiding to destroy the government And yet a Democratic administration was borrowing money at I per cent a month to defray the current expeuses of government. Of the treasary notes authorized to be issued, five millions were advertised to be awarded 00 the 28th of December, 1860.' The bids ranged from 12 to 36 per cent., snd as 12 per cent, was the best offer that could be obtained, the entire 65,000,000 were disposed ot at that' rate. At a later date the other 65,000,000 authorised by Congress were negotiated at about 11 per cent. • At this time (he public treasury was empty, and the foregoing facts show the condition of the public credit. On tbe Bth of February, 1861, the government still being under Democratic control, Congress authorized the issue of 626;80o,000 of United States bonds, payable in not less than ten nor more than twenty years, to bear 6 per cent, interest. The Democratic Secretary of the Treasury advertised 68,000,000 ot these to be awarded on tbe 22d of tbe same month. This money was required to meet current expenses. The bids were opened on the 22d as advertised, and the offers ranged from 75 to 96 cents. The entire 68,000,000 were placed at 90 cents. The credit of the government bad run so low under Democratic rule that it could only get 90 cents on the dollar for a 6 per cent, twenty year bond. This was betore the Republican party had ever been in power, and when the Democracy had held control of every branch of the government for a longterm of years. These are historical facts, and yet with such a financial record as this, and a still worse record of corruption and treason to answer for, tjie Democracy dare to aspire to the control of the government which they tried to destroy. With the financial negotiation above narrated contrast the magnificent funding operations which have recently taken place, in which a Republican Secretary of the Treasury has been able to fund several hundred million dollars of tbe outstanding public debt at four per cent. If the credit of a government represents tbe character and capaoity of the party administering it, this contrast furnishes a perpetual and unanswerable argument against intrusting the Democracy with power. They bankrupted the government once in a time of profound peace, and will do it again ii they get a chance.
