Horace E. James, editor of the ■ J/rtisai/e. received a st ver- thrashing la?t evening, at the hands of 'G. M.

The spirit which will condemn ’ ahd ostracize a man, and stigmatize him as a“J ay Gould, *’ and 1 old him up as unworthy of public.confidence and unlit for public trust, simply because, after half a lifetime of industry, energy and good managemenHxe has hofiorably acquired a modest competence, is i identical with that of theCominunists and Nihilists who believe that i every 7 man who is. in any considerable degree richer than his fellows, ought to be exterminated from the earth and his substance divided among his less prosperous neighbors. It is different only in degree from the spirit of the red mouthed Anarchist, Most, and his disciples, the men who threw the murderous bomb among the policemen of Chicago, and all but succeeded in their hell-born scheme .to pillage and lay waste to the whole city. Men who resort, to such mean s such doctrines es we have indicated, whether •rdance with what they really ieve, or are merely assumed for a temporary purpose, are not the TjßQhem'ierv society and deserve in this respect and should receive, the reprobation of all right mind-

The Idaville Independent suspended publication some weeks ago. tend last week the first numbeff of the Idaville Obxerter was issued. The Small brothers, Bert and Will are the publishers, while their father, the Rev. Gilbert Small, dcjCupies. the editorial chair. Mr. Small, who is well known and i much esteemed in Rensselaer has had much experience as a newspaper writer, and is well qualified for the duties of his new positiop. ■'■«■■■■— p The rate of taxation for - county purposes' has been fixed by the Commissioners at seventy-five cents on the hundred dollars assessed valuation. This rate will, undoubtedly, produce sufficient revel.

The special levy for the county jail is (‘ontinu-'d for another year. It will yield enough to entirely wipe out the balance of the debt on the jail building, and probably’ a few hundred dollars in excels of that sum. .

The Hon. J. H. Huston, paid a deserved tribute to the Republican press of Indiana. He recognizes wha’t.so very few politicians ate willing to acknowledge, napiely, that political success is very largely dependant upon the hearty and earnest co-operation of tile party papers. He says, and justly too, that, ‘“their influence is worth all else combined,” and adds, “I would not enter upon this work with any enthusiasm without feeling that I should be granted the active 1.-dp <•£ ihe He.puidican Us course - die does not refer to those luke-warm papers, whose editors are so preeminently piiiih, they sit on the fence'and wait to see what way the cat jumps, and then take oil’ their hats ami vociferate extravagantly in longwinded and verbose editorials.

At the meeting of the State Pharmaceutical Association; a| Lafayette, last week, the following eminently wise and truthful resolution was unanimously adopted: iu-xulvrd, That it is the opinion of the Indiana Pharmacists that the sale of alcoholic liquor ifi the State is not sufficiently restricted, and that this Association , favors strict laws applicable to all who hauuie liquor, druggists not excepted. The druggists are eminently correct in the above resolution, but they stopped too short. They should have included all intoxicating liquors within the scope of their resolution. The demand for more efficiently restrictive laws in regard to intoxicants is well nigh universal, throughout the state; and we believe that it is not only the duty, but in the highest sense, the i Merest oft he Republican part y the party pf progress and reform, to take a pronounced stand in the state, this year, in favor of such >eatrictiye laws, ,——— ... i * , Hemphill &, Honan’s for your carpets. ‘■ ■ I

As The Republican stated in a late issue, there are a few points in Mr. O. B. Mclntire’s hte open letter in the Remington A'cms in regard to the Hon. Fred Hoover, whichxequirg some further notice at our Landsi ’ln the first place Mr. Al< littire i-wu-<'s himself from giving tile “whole history” of the ease oh the grounds that it would “tiring in the names” of parties there who have furnished jthe fal>t- information iVc. If Mr. Mcjntire knows of any’ persons who havo furnished false informatjoii against Mr. Hoover, we most earnestly desire that he will expose them, nt < nice. We know of no such per.-i< >ns, nor do we believe that jylr. Mclntire does.The‘ihsin.uation that some enemy of Hoover in Rcmijigtou has furnished us with information of any kind is entirely without truth. We have heard statements a&M-p the general facts of certain of the charges against Hoover from men who were about as friendly to that gentleman as is Mr. Mclntire, while our information that the charges wereof a very serious character, and that they would have prevented Mr. Hoover’s confirmation, enme directly from Washington, and from a gentleman whose -qualities for truth and veracity w e would place in the scale with those jrofron'v of slr. Mclntire but of any person -in f&e “couhtryp^and l who xvas in a vastly better position to know what ho was talking about, than, perhaps; was Mr. McIntire, in some of his very positive assertions. Mr. Mclntire says that he knows nothing about the nature of the cliarge.s that were preferred against Mr. Hoover, and he yet do--clares that Mr. Hoover did not resign on account of them. How does it come that Mr. Mclntire can he so : ure of that fact? How does lie know what charges may have been preferred ; against him from the agency? The article from the Indian Journal, xvhich we reproduce below, is pretty gqpd evidence that there was great dissatisfaction with him at the agency, and it is more fjiau probable that that dissatisfaction took the form of charges against him. How does Mr. Mclntire know xvhether Mr. Hoover xvas not aware of serious and unanswerable charges, of which he said nothing to. anyone in Reiniiigton? . ..T;, T

Below we give ah article which v.e haieeui from a Th- copy 6* the Arkansas City Trace Iler, a paper published in Cowley county, Kansas, which joins tire t wage reservation on the south: The Indian •J-mrmttl-, in whieii the articlewas.originally published, is issued at Ockmulgee, in the Creek country , We do not profess to know whether any of the statements in the article regarding Mr. Hoover's conduct at the agency are true of not, but we do claim that the fact that such an article could have been given general publicity in the immediate ucinity of Mr. Hoover’s oilieial location, is pretty conclusive proof that the statement that alt the charges and accusations made against him originated in the malice of Remington parties, is entirely false. The following is the article referred to:
