THE REPUBLICAN.
Washington Letter.
Washington Di, C. R T ov,2oth 1882; Editor Republican: Now the great political battle has been fought, the dead interred, the wounded in care of the political surgeons, and the missing accounted for the great trouble seems to be with the victors tt> satisfactorily dispose of the trollies. The captains of the Democratic party recognize the fact that there was nopolitical issue at stake, that purely local questions and i nterestscaused the* tremendous overturning at the elections and that the country opon all National issues, is thoroughly and reliably Republican. They * feel that their hold upon Uevernmental affairs is secured by u very slauder thread, and that the display of a strutting crowing rooster is about all they have to coinvoend them to the favor and confidence of the country at large. The better and influential classes of Democratic newspapers do not feel very much, elated over their triumph knowing as they do that there has been no real accesion to the democratic ranks. From present appearances here the attempt to organize the next House on a Democratic basis will result in a sort of Kilkenny fight, so numerous are the captains with their tactions. Should such be the case they will have a realizing sense of wiiat played such sad havoc with Republican aspirants the 7th of November. It is amusing to note the manner in which some of the Ith rate editors strut and plume themselves over that Waterloo., taking to themselves an elephauitine credit for bringing about tin result by keeping “Fraud” so prominently displayed in their columns ever since March 4th, 1870. It has been their one stock in trade and profusely have they used it. It had just as much to do with bringing about the result as it did in keeping Hayes out of the Presidential chair. What is astonishing however is to read such items as this. “A poor widow with six children, who is in the employment of the Government at a salary of $75 was assessed, $55 by Mnlioue &c” In the first place there is no woman here or any where else in Government employ with a salary of $75. If that editor had wished to tell the truth at all In*
would have made it s7sper month. But even had he done so, it would then have been so far from truth that there are few men who are ignoramuses to believe it. Even the Editor himself knows it is not so. “A firm adherence to correct principles” or words to that effect is a noble motto for that kind of a sheet. Only think of the country being given over to that kind of statesmen; two years will be more than sufficient to bring the American people to their senses again ;;«udelectg a Republican President m 1884. The congressmen and other notables are dropping in one by one and by tbo lastof this corning week, most if not all of the Nation’s legislators will be ready for their posts or desks on Monday j Dec. 4tli. The long talked of Gar-! held Momument h air opened today., at 2.P. M. in the Capitol. The opening was executed by President Arthur m.a speech of not more than two minuies duration and to •hose who could see.and hear was 1. presume very, interesting. Not being invited to participate ip the ceremonies with tire rest of tlie Chinese Legaton, 1 was.crowded so far; to the rear, that 1 couUtn-ut-her see or hear. The immense building was packed and if to-day is to be taken as a ciiterion the Fair certainly, be a success linancialiy. No tickets are sold except single admissiou tickets at fifty, cents each. I Jrati fuud'y hoped that having so recently been tlie respected editor of a prominent and infiuential newspaper, I sliould be presented with a free pass. Put so far as Washington is concerned, siy dead head days are uuackjuo'vledged.and I. must pay for everything.now lik© ». white man.

Among the many attractions for the coming week, in connection with the Fair, will be, dh Wednesday, a military parade participated in by 25 companies, four of which will drill for a prize. On Thanksgiving the Knights Templar to the number of 2000 or more will give an exhibition parade and drill. On Friday a Bicycle tournament. By order of President the departments were all closed at 12 P. M. to-day and the clerks had the priviledge of attending the Fair at 50 cents per head.
Card of Thanks
To the voters of Jasper county Indiana, who honored me with their votes at the last general election, I tender you my sincere thanks for the earnest and gallant fight you made in endeavoring to re-elect me to the office of Auditor in your county. I assure you that your votes were not lost, but embodied a protest against a traflick that is making thousands of children objects of charity. Hundreds of mothers subjects for our insane asylums, and bringing many, many of our brighest and most intelligent young men to an early grave. My supporters voted against those wrongs, and ibeir protest will yet be heard and heeded, and the work of reformation will continue to move onward, until eventually, correct principles and right will prevail. I again thank you in this public manner for your support.
[Democratic Sentinel.] Dr. J. T. McShane, of Noblesville, superintendent grading of on the Chicago and Indianapolis Air-Line, made us a pleasant call Tuesday. He left the lower portion of the road last week, and reports the line to be in a good shape, for so new a road. The L. N-A. &C. company has not yet formally accepted the line, and there is still some doubt whether they will take prosession before Spring. Regular mixed trains however will be put on the road shortly, either by the New Albany company, or by Mr. Craw ford, the contractor. It is of course not to be expected that the road will be in condition to run fast passenger trains over for some months yet Freight can already be shipped to any point on the line, the Doctor tells us.

The County Commissioners.
On Monday Dec., 4th, the newly constituted Board, met in regular session. Dec., 4th, the credentials >f the Hons. Prevo and Waynire were accepted, and they were leclared. legally constituted comnissioners of Jasper county, to * ierv§ for three years from Dec., Ith, .882. The Hon. George W. Burk was president of the Board. The official bonds of Sheriff elect Powell, Sueveyor elect Alter, and Coroner elect Sears, were examined by the Board and duly approved. Some o 4 claims were examined, and all were allowed for the full amount claimed, except the bill of Henry I. Adams, $202.00, for making collections registers, which was continued. Tuesday: 13 claims disposed of. AH allowed for fuU amount except the bill of Dr. O. C. Link as Sec’y. Board of Health. $125.00, which was allowed for $75.00. Ghas. L. Wondt representing the firm of P. U. Pauly and Bros, of St. Louis, represented that the jail and sheriff’s residence had been completed, accoiding to plans and specifications, and asked that final payment be made on the same. Said Wundt, (and we presume the Board Wundt either,) asked for $723.50 for extra work outside of contract. The Board after examining the plans, specifications, and also the building, were of the opinion that the building was all right, but did not seem to take kindly to all of the items in the bill of extras,, being of the opinion that they were included in the origimal contract. After consultation however.ihe sum of $5500.00 was paid on the contract, in addition to the estimates already paid, which areas follows; July 28, $137'.75 August 29, s:4<\sß, Sept. 30, $2995.31,. Nov. 27, $200.00; and freight advanced to the amount of $89.47, making a total paid on the jail of $11428.11. Final settlement is continued until Friday Dec. Btli, Ex-commissioners Dunn and Rockwood being summonsed to appear and testify in the matter. Henry Marsh was appointed agent of the Board to superintend the construction of the grade near the residence of John Jordan. Wednesday was devoted wholly to road and bridge business, of which fuller mention will be made next week.

Emigration .is seeking ne w fields not only from across the waters, but from interior and sea-board States. The hard working farmer who has spent years digging among stones and hills of the East is becoming convinced that this interest lies m “palling up stakes” arid moving to-the West, but in what part of the West to seek a home seems to be a matter not always quite clear. We believe Central Dakota is tlie place. Thither the farming fraternity is flocking in vast numbers. As sure as the sun shines, Central Dakota will become the most productive part of the enter West for all cereals, vegetables and stock. The healthful climate, pure water, numerous streams and lakes, fertility of soils, situation of lafcitutlo, outlet to market, facilities for transportion, etc., conduce to make this the most desirably located. The Chicago <fe North-western Rhilway can take you into the very heart of this delightful country. Send to the General- Passenger Agent of that road in Chicago, ill., for maps, pamphlets, etc.
