• The RartraucA* will here a© toeuion to eel third‘term crow or crawl under the Repablteaa band wagon. •> ' The face of the N ation it just now turned toward Chicago, watting the reeelt of the Bipallt—a National eonvention. Upon the action of - that body thia Nation may stand or falL The future is nocertain. The latest report* before going to press are that the ebanco* for tbs nomination between Grant, Blaine, and Shemran are abont eqnal, and that oar own little Benny ia talked of aaa very probable dark horse. David Daria Is eoqaelting with the Greenbacker% aati-Tlldenite* and antt-Grantltea for th* nomination for President. Each faction is receiving a liberal supply of taffy at hi* hand*, bat ao far the Republican scratch era are not enthoaed for d. d. . Gen. Milo S. Hascall baa publiabed a card, tbe-import of wich is, that if Grant ia oofdnsted at Chicago he (Haacall) will ceaae to be a candidate tor Auditor of State. The nomination of General Grant ia not positively certain, bat it ia highly probable that in either event Haacall will be permitted to step down and oat. If we lose Indiana this fall it will be on aooonot of the , actions of a few damphools like Haacall. An essay read before the State * Homoeopathic Medieal Association, which held its annual session at Indianapolis, last week, advanced the theory that "the universal provalence of malaria in (he atmosphere of Indiana ia th* reason why the State baa nroduced so few great men.” We conclude that the theory ia a correct one.' If malaria debilitates the system it sorely has a .corresponding effect opon the mind, and this accoadts for the Democratic majorities rolled np from the out-townships. V m l m We go to press before the Republican candidate for President is named, bat it is pretty safe to conclude that it will be Grant. The Blaine, Sherman and Washborne forces have weakened pertfeptably since Grant’s strength in ' the convention has become known. If Grant shoald be nominated, as be doubtless will be, the anti-Grant - men will attempt to organise an \ anti-Grant party, but should they succeed it will be short-lived. Whenever'an individualjefares to supportthe of the Chicago convention he is no longer a Republican. The following is Hat of the delegates to the State convention: Hanging Grove, : : J. C. Gwin. Gill am, : : : : : Wm. Hanley. Walker, :» : : : S. F. Brown. Barlcley, : : ; : Benj. Harris. Marion, : : : Dr. James Ritchey. Jordan, : : : : John Lewis. Newton, : : :D. S. Makeever. Keener, : D. E. Fairchild. Whcatfield, : : Charles Myers. Kankakee, : : : : 8. J. Bentley. Milroy, : : : : Jas. Chapman. ‘XJnjon, : : : : A. M. M unden. parpenter, : : Dr. S. C. Maxwell. Rensselaer, : : R. S. Dwiggins. Remingtoh,: : : 11. W. Snyder. We take pleasure in annonneing Capt. M. F. Chilcote as a candidate for Joint Representative for Jasper and Newtou counties. His worthiness as a citizen, his ability as an attorney and perfection of his Republican principles cannot be questioned. It oconrs toiqs that this eotning session of the State Legislature will be one in which the services of learned attorneys will be greatly needed, and it ia important that the representative of thia district' be able to perform his full .share of the work.' It is very evident that lawyers are better prepared to make and revise laws than - farmers or meehanics/ and possibly 9 they were permitted to draft the measures governing the citizens of Indiana they would-be leas complicated and not so irfoomprehensible. The friends of Mr. Chilcote are get- % ting np quite a boom for him, and all probability he will be the nominee. > Chairman Don Cameron, of the national Republican executive committee, has'been requested by all but six of the Republican senators : and by seventy-six members of the lbwer house to provide seats in the Chicago convention for seventy-six women delegates who will be appointed by the Woman Suffrage . national association to represent all * the Woman Suffrage organisations of th# United State#. They probably hope to team a trick or two in the management of politics from the straggles and tactics brought into play in our convention, and having once got into a national convention and mastered its methods, they anticipate **tbe good- time coming” when they will take pah in the proceedings and belD to ran the meehine. The Woman Suffragists are mcrahiag on in feet, sad preparetioas moat soon be made to receive them by some party. %

Among those anxious foe Congress tomfiegra is Samvel J. Ram dall, apeXT of the bteae, who i. lobbying ia tfoß senate for a favorable vote Oft a corrected bill to be sent from the bonce. Thia urgency on Mr. RaadaH*a part to get awey from Washington ia probably da* to hi* detir* to vprk np some political business tending in the direction of thdCtoeidilfefj convention. Mo on* can tail really why nongrnsa should not clear eet and cease troubling the country with it* dillydallying. It doesn’t pay the salaries of government officials, it is compelling pensioners to go without what is due them, it doesn’t pay the government coal and gas bill*, It accomplished no useful and important legislation and ia -very much of an annoyance and nniaanee —as it has been ever since the Republicans loot control of both houses. Therefore it ought to adjourn. Every pensioner who is pinched because of the withholding of money due can thank the Democratic party tor it, and with all bis voting friends whom he can influence should rote accordingly. The Republican administration has the money all collected and in the vaults of the treasury waiting to be paid out, but the Democratic congress, because it eannot succeed in certain political objects it wants to secure by law because of the president’s veto, would rather see the pensioners starve than perform the simple joatioe of paying them their due.

When we hear a Northern Democrat boast of bow the Democratic party helped to pnt down the late Democratic rebellion, wa are reminded of what the old man aaid to his mor* plucky spouse—“ Didn’t we kill the bear?" It is true there were a large number of Democrats joined the Union army, especially at the beginning of the war, but a good ah are of them through the influence of Vallandigbsm and Voorhees and letters sent them by friends at home became very mooh dissatisfied and hundreds deserted or got out of the service by adroit means. Every person familiar with the history of the rebellion is aware that the Northern Democrats did all they* could to discourage the prosecution of the war, and thousands of them proclaimed their willingness to assist the South at the first opportunity, that should be offered them. During the dark hoars of the rebellion the Demooratio party instead of assisting in saving the country clammored for a dissolution of the Union, and many in thia State wished to have Indiana united with theSonthern Confederacy. Everywhere they demanded a cessation of hostilities sod denounced the draft as the “most damnable of all outrages.” In almost every Democratic convention resolutions were adopted declaring “We will never give any aid or assistance to the continuing of this unholy and unconstitutional war.” Abont every Democratic coonty in Indiana “helped cash the rebellion and uphold the government” by demanding an artniitio and resolving that "our interests and inclinations will demand of us a withdrawal from the political associations in a common government with the New England States.” They also “helped to put down the rebellion” by demanding a compromise and general amnesty for rebels with arms in their bands. Every Democratic editor and stump orator asserted and re-asserted that they were “opposed to furnishing men or money to prosecute a war to free the negroes.” With but very few exceptions the Democrats who went iqto the array and served their country willingly, faithfully and well ceased to' be Democrats and never after affiliated with that party. We re-assert that it was a Democratic rebellion, and every fullfledged Democrat, North and South, opposed the Nationsl government and sympathized with the Southern confederacy. Indi» viduals, who were Democrats only iu name, helped to put down the rebellion, but the party gave it aid and encouragement.

To Republican Voters.

The Republican voter* of the several township# are earnestly urged to attend the. township primary meetings, Saturday, June 12, to select delegates to the contention, to be held Jane 16th, to nominate candidates for the several county officers to be elected in November. Every one should take an interest and see that the very best men are ehoeen to make such #elections as may suit and serve the people in a satisfactory manner. It is suggested that all selections be made by ballot, so that a fair expression may be had, that harmony may prevail in the Republican rank during the coming cam-

Wheatfield, Walker and Milroy have made no selections as far as we are informed. Credentials will be furnished and we suppose are transferrable to other Republicans of. same precinct. Wc notice that Cam and Pulaski oonnties each adopt the precinct representation. In the convention we favor the plan of each delegate voting for the candidate whom he believes will nearest meet the wiahei of the Republicans in his precinct. Wc are opposed to oonnties voting as units in a district convention and to States voting as units in the National convention. We want to see perfect harmony and fairness in the convention, and the nominee ia onr man after the convention, nntil then we are for Simon P. Thompson, and believe he can get more votes and would be a more useful man in Congress than any yet mentioned.

John E. Skinner.

The Crown Point Star, Valporaiao Messenger, Demooratio Sentinel and Benton Review, favor a Democratic endorsement of the National nominee for Congress, whose name heads this article. We think there will be an effort to endorse him at Montioello on the 16th inst. The Demooratio party would do well to votefor men aa nearly out of their ranks as possible as timber with them is scarce. Simom P. Thompson oan win against a combined nomination of Skinner by one thousand majority. It will not set well on the average Democratic stomach to take Mr. Skinner for dinner.

In the case here given, wbiofa will stand as being the true one? How oan both be correct? To which seotion does these two acres of land belong. Again I have found oases where the section earner* did not reach the township line by 6 or or 8 link*. To whioh seotion doe# this neutral land belong? I find in the survey of same section 5 that thers is a stone placed in for quarter section corner between seotion S and 6, which stone is thirty links east of a right line, between the seotion corners. Should I ran to that atone or place the corner on line.

The oorner of sections 9, 10, 15 and 19 is in a large marsh and ia entirely lost and no witnessed eorners south for two miles and a half, while the quarter corner and section corner north are witnessed, sad are aot on line 1 with th# w Hues sad eorners south.

D EPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, GENERAL LAND OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. C., MAY 15, 1880.

Iwn S. AtUr , Ktq., County Surveyor, Morning - ton, Jatpor county, Indiana. Sib: —ln reply to your letter of the 24th ult., I have to state as follows: Ist, the township line between townships 28 and 29 north, range 7 west, 2nd P. M., mast be considered as the north boundary of the sections immediately south of the line. The fact that certain closing "corners were erroneously established somewhat north of the line does not olrange the ooursc of the township line which mast run straight from corner to corner as originally established thereon, and the lines of seotions on the south mast end at their intersection with the township line. In like manner if dosing corners fall south of a township line the said lino will nevertheless form the North boundary of the northern tier of seotions in the township on the aoath. 2d, In regard to the identification of the corner referred to by you where the witness trees have been destroyed, I have to state that unless yon are fully satisfied that the stone found is on the spot where the original corner was located, the corner shoald be ro established in exact accordance with the field notes of the original survey. 3d, In re-establishing the corner to 9, 10, 15 and 16, township 30 north, range 5 west, as the quarter corner between seotions 9 and 10, and the quarter corner between sections 27 and 28 are identified by witness trees. The said corner shoald be re-establisbed by proportionate measurement and right line between existing original oorners, regardless of the courses or difference in measurements beyond the same. Very respectfully,

In 1553 four South Carolina olergymen, who were old and intimate friends, sent their' four sons to the same, boarding school. From, boarding school at the end of fonr years they were transferred to college. Through school they were room mates and olass-mates, and stood in the order of first, second, third and fourth at the top of the roll. They graduated together in the same order of merit, entered the seme lew office and studied under the seme ohanoeilor. At the beginning of the war they entered the same eompany and the same regiment of the Confederate army. They marohed, messed and fought together. At the second battle of Manassas a Northern shell burst in the ranks of of their oompany. It killed these fonr, bnt touched no one else. They were buried on the bnttle field in the same grave.

The latest expedient for ridding a-house of rate, is furnished bj a writer in the Seientifio American, who says:* 4 We clean onrpremises of the detestable vermin by making the white wash yellow with copperas and covering the stones and rafters in the oelTar with a thick coat of it. In every orevioe where a rat might tread, we pat the 6rystals of the oopperas and scatter the same in the corners of the floor. The resalt was a perfeot stampede of ratal and mice. Since that time not a footfall of either rats or mioe has been heard about the boose. Each spring a coat of the yellow wash is given to the oellar as a purifier as well as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery, or fever attacks the family.”
