The Hon. E.R. Hawn, the secretary of. the State Hoard of Health, and the es-Secretary of State, died Tuesday night, of apoplexy. The Sentinel, of Rochester) thinks that the results of the recent railroad elections in that town and in Rensselaer remove all doubt as to the construction of the Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis Railway. ________ A good preacher Was spoiled to make an awful pGor statesman when He La Matyr plunged from the pulpit into politics, and the country and himself are to be congratulated upon his recent acceptance of a pastoral charge in Denver. The managers of the Jasper Comity Fair arc taking hold of the work of preparing for the Fair with a vim and energy which promises one of the very best fairs ever given by the Association. The Premium Lists are now ready for distribution, and may be had by applying to the secretary, E. C. bowels, in the Auditor’s office at the Court House. The managers of the Lafayette Fair have taken hearts of grace, and resolved not to allow the “big gest ,stock show in America” to be Jumboed out of existence, and have gone to work with a resolution to make the fair as great a success as ever. The business men of Lafayette are warmly supporting the efforts of the managers and there seems to be no doubt now of the success of the fair.

The Remington Fair.

The managment of the Remington Fail* are making thorough preparations for an unusually good exhibition this year. They claim that they will have a better fair this year than was ever held in I »Jaspbr county. The Horse show in the Thorough-bred, Heavy-draft and General purpose classes, will be very large. The cattle department will be better than ever before, while the show in the swine department will be equal to most of the large fairs of the State. A Machinery Hall will be built this year, with all the necessary shafting, bolting, &c., for the display of all kinds of machinery. Binders, Mowers, and other kinda of machinery will be run by steam power during the fair. In iB6O the national debt amounted to $2,773,236,173. Its reduction since that time has been contaut, until it now amounts only to $1,877,000,000. The annual interest charge in 1866 was $147,000,000. Now it is only $51,000,000, or but little more than one third as great as in 1866. Taxes have beep steadily reduced at the same time, until now the internal revenue is almost intirely collected from two articles, and collected honestly and without loss to the government. Does any man of sense believe that a Democratic administration would have done any better or even half as well? Look at the record .of any Democratic State, and the answer will be a negative.

LINCOLN’S GREAT SPEECH AT RENSSELAER.

A MOVING SPEECH. The Greatest Effort of His Life. How It was Interrupted. He is Sensitive About tbe Regular Army. “Have You Got it With Yout” Editor Lingle, of the Lafayette Courier, was on board the presidential train when it passed Rensselaer a couple of weeks ago, and from his inner consciousness has evolved the following account of what took place at Rensselaer during tho few minutes which the train stopped at the station here. The head lines are the Courier’s as well as what follows: At Rensselaer where the Presidential train loafed to kill him, Mr. Lincoln, the Secretary of War, was gracefully introduced by Hon. Thomas B. Ward. “No taffy young man. Give us a story,” said a voice in the crowd. Mr. Lincoln f smiled. “My speech,’ said Patsy Maloney, was reported in fall in the London Times—‘not a word left out —and I had the close attention of a large , audience’ said Pat ‘A short hand reporter took it down. I know he was short hand because he was a friend of mine and 1 was with him when he lost his other hand in a steel trap.’ ‘What was your speech about—upon fthat subject—what did you Say,' asked an incredulous listener. ‘I said “Not Guilty’ was the response. This was Maloney’s speech, and must be mine—l have no gifts in that way and am not guilty as a speech maker, bat enthusea somewhat by the able and eloquent addresses I have heard from the various members of the Presidental party, at every station en route, I am moved—moved”—just then the train moved—and the remainder of this interesting speech might have been lost to tho literature of oratory, but at Fair Oaks, tho next station, Tom Hanlon, still pale, and somewhat emaciated in the vest pattern, as the result of his first cigar with the President, came in to say that the eager multitude, swift of hoof, had followed in breathless eagernoss to hear the conclusion of that speech. Mr. Lincoln was not insensible to tbe compliment implied. He came out to the platform and, again introduced by Congressman Ward, bowed his acknowledgments, and said; “My Fellow Citizens —I thank you for this kindly greeting: As Secretary of War and in my relation to the regular army,” —“Have you got it with you P” asked a veteran soldier in the crowd. This interruption was very embarrassing to Mr. Lincoln, who in common with the average American citizen, is somewhat sensitive as to the numerical strength of the Grand Army. It broke him all up and his reputation as an impromptu orator (ho had three sheets of closely written letter paper in tho hands of General Gresham, who was to prompt him) might have suffered but for the remorseless time-card of the conductor, who started the train, leaving the multitude waiting and wondering.

Republicanism and Temperance.

The receipts undor the Scott law in Cleveland, Ohio, are said to bo so large that the genoral tax levy will be probably reduced; and the revenues of the State of Missouri have been increased to tho amount of $1,000,000 by the high license act. These are significant facts, and they will piobably lead to a general adoption of the system. Tho tax upon the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is based upon economical and not up m moral considerations. The moral consideration, however, is doubtless very potent in securing the passago of such laws. Tho fact that the traffic produces drunkenness, and that an immense proportion of crime springs from druukennt ss, and entails great expense upon the community, naturally suggests the taxation of the traffic as the most unobjectionable of taxes. It is ft tax which does not touch anything necessary to subsistence. It affects nothing but a dangerous and unnecessary form of solf-indulgeuco, and in the highest sense, therefore, it is a tax upon superfluity and luxury. Even those who* in the desire to propitiate tho liquor interest, oppose a high license, do not dare to propose free drinking. They insist tipon a low license as more equitable. Hut it is not more equitable, since a high license produces a larger revenue, and consequently lightens the burden Upon actual necessaries. * * * It is in accord with the traditions of the Republican party tb&t it should be identified in Ohio with the -high license law. Thcie are always two te Hencies in society, one to good order, sobriety, industry,- intelligence, todrality and progress. - The other is against therm Government and politics

«re but indirectly concerned with them, because the object of government is to secure individual liberty, which may be trusted to promote virtue and social progress. Bnt parties nevertheless will naturally be fonnd, upon the whole, to favor or not to favor specific moral objects. This is especially true of the Republican party in this country, which took its origin and derived its force from a moral impulse. Its natural tendency is even to strain the powers of government to aid general enlightenment and progress. It is the Republican party which favors a generous educational polioy, and which naturally attracts the especial friends of temperance. Every reform instinctively expects help from that patty. The strength of the Republican feeling for a protective tariff lies in the conviction that protection is, upon the whole, best for the poor man.—“ Harper’s Weekly.”

Church Notes.

The time for the evening meetings at the M. E. Church has been changed to 7:30 o’clock, instead of 8. The Covenant Meeting of the Free Will baptists will be held at the Presbyterian church, next Saturday at 2:30 o’clock p. m. All are invited to attend. The Basket Meeting of the Protestant Methodists at Alter’s Mill, in Union tp., was well attended. The Rev. Callahan preached in the forenoon, and the Rev. Bloomer, in the evening. A considerable number of Rensselaer people attended the meeting. Preaching at the hf. E. Church next Sunday by the pastor, morning and evening. This will be the Rev. J. J, Claypool’s last Sunday in Rensselaer, should not the Conference. return him to this charge. Baptist Association.— There will be an association held by the old School Baptists, comprising the Point Creek association with Union church, 4 1-2 miles North of Rensselaer, commencing on August 24, and closing Sunday evening, the 26th, 1883. The place of meeting will be on Riley Nowel’s farm, about i mile north of his house in the grove selected for that purpose. To reach the grounds, parties will go in at the gates West or South of his house, so down past house and through the am yard, from which there is a lane landing direct to the grounds. Everybody is invited.

Messrs S. P. Thompson and A. McCoy, were out doing a little volunteer missionary work among the heathens of “South America” last Suuday, and thought it would be no harm, while they were in its vicinity, to examine the ditch Mr. Humpheys is making in the Big Slough. Mr. McCoy accordingly drove his ponies into the ditch with the intention of driving along the channel for some distance. The water soon becoming deep, and the carriage swinging about in a threatning manner. Mr. Thompson thought it advisable to lighten the cargo, and instead of throwing Mr. McCoy overboard, which, seemingly, would have been his most rational course in the emergency, he jumped out himself and found ground at the bottom of four feet of water. He is well satisfied with his examination of the ditch, and thinks the water therein is a little the wettest of any in the county, and especially well adapted for baptismal purposes.

Houses Heard From.—Several weeks ago the Republican published an account of the stealing of a number of horses from Mr. Sellick’s farm in Walker tp. On Tuesday last Sheriff Powell went up into Keener tp., and arrested James Lamb, charged with being implicated in the stealing. He was taken before Squire Wood, but waived examination, and liis bail was fixed at $600., in default of which lio was sent to jail. Tho Sheriff had a little Lamb, Who could not furnish bail. He therefore took that bad, bold man, And locked him in the jail. The horses have been heard from in Illinois, add measures will be taken for their recovery. Dreadful Depravity:—James Kirkpatrick, a wealthy and prominent farmer, living near Delphi, lias just been arrested and plaoed under S3,OQP bonds for a rape committed upon a Miss Mullendore four years ago, when she was but twelve years old. She has kept the affair sildnt, through fear, but she is now dying - from the effects of her injuries. Kirkpatrick is fifty yeai*s old. ,
