The official apportionment of del* egates to the Republican state con. vention has been published. Jasper coirnty will hay© but six delegates in the convention. The time for the convention has not been officially announced. ' ' , " Thejiame of Prof. E. E.

We know that the financial affairs of Jasper county are managed wisely, honestly and with time-economy. The misrepresentations, false arguments and absolute falsehoods of the disorganizing Me.<.-tn;;e, m regard to these matters.mro :>u attack, not alone' upon the county Auditor and the county Commissi mors, as that paper would have it appear, but upon nil the county officers, upon the Judge of the Circuit court, and upon,the entire republican par ty .of Jasper county. The false ness and themaliciousness of these statement-of this-disorg:uiizer. are susceptible of demonstration, by impregnable facts, and iu-our own. time, we-propose to take occasion.. to do it. In the mean lime we feel it to be a duty we owe to the republicans of Jasper county to say to them, and especially to the leaders. the candidates and the holders offices auioiig them, t a in whatever degree they give aid, patronage or,- encouragement to this conscienceless, faithless, u ascrupulous plieet, jas + ttt tlirrt degree they fire warming a viper bf’ ingratitude iu their bosoms who will surely do his best, to ‘Sting the party to death. We knew; from the first this- was true. Hundreds of other true republicans knew tliat it was true, and nut a single issue of tiie paper lias failed to furnish unquestionable proof, of the fact.

The Nomination Gives General Satisfaction.

ry, OtTEKßiis, Ind., July 15, ISBG. Editod Repiblican. —The action us the Senatorial convention at Goodland, iu nominating S. P. Thompbou gives general satisfaction. All along the South tier of townships in Benton county there is increasing enthusiasm iu his favor. Nearly every old settler has had legal services rendered by the gentleman, and all speak well of Ins honorable dealings, virtue and integrity, Simon Parr may have enemies, no doubt, but he has alsq many friends, and they are of the right sort Having faith in their man and determination to use every honorable means to make his calling and election as State Senator sure.

The Logans port Journal , commenting on a recent aggravated case of wife beating in Logansporty takes the position, long held, by The llErusLicAN, that the whipping post is the only logical and adequate punishment for wife beaters. The Journal says: The next legislature that assembles in Indiana should follow in the footsteps of the little state of Delaware, and establish the vvhipping post for wife beaters. The only punishment to fit the crime 1.4 a'public whipping— R painful hurmliitiou. “Had the fisheries dispute taken its present-phase thirty years ago, the country would have been iy. fever heat for war. Now if scarcely makes n ripple beyond--the coast line, and not much there. We kin w we are sirong enough to cep ail the Kanncks into the sea whenever we please, and we are in the same disposition of mind th'at a big New Foundland dog regards disturbance by- a terrier. * * * We think the United

States Government has been patient enough, and it should bring matters tv> a crisis as soon as the Canadian programme is known.” The above specimen of idiotic drivel, worthy of the pen of a scln ol boy, is from tire Indianapolis Sentinel, but is a fair sample of what j numberless other papers through, out tlie country have said about this fishery dispute question. All tlo* talk about this country being able to sweep the into the sea, or to capture their whole country in 30 or GO days, and all that kind of stuff, is the mere mischievous gabble of fools. People vita any glimmering of sense know that a war with Canada means a war with Great Britain, on.i of the. most poweiful ami resolute military nations of modern times. B means a war with a nation which, unlike our own country, ims kept abreast of the times in the matter of ships of war, cannon and other means of defensive and offensive war. A nation pow- | erful enough, thanks to tlie stupen-1 dous and fatuous , folly of the j Americans, to capture or destroy- ; every sea-board city in the United States, to reduce every fort within reach of the guns of their war; vessels, to 'destroy the last vestige j of an American navy. Of what! avail would it be to send a few i hundred thousand soldiers over ’ the Canadian border to -make a barren conquest while ni-i tive weai-; thy cities on our lake and ocean j coasts were’ falling a prey to the. j ships and cannon of our enemies? The United States is now the most abjectly defenseless nation on this earth and it is full time: that sve eillierutdopfc seme offeoteahj an ans to remedy that condition! or quit oar foolish brag and Ulus-j ter, which only makes us ridiculous and may cover us with disas- ; ter,

An Editor Who Had Some Sand.

Major JBJtten Account of lII* Fight tvlth Otto Rettlg. Rochester Republican. ‘ Some years ago George Rettig. of Peru, purchased eleven hundred acres of prairie land, southwest of Koch ester, and proceeded to fence and improve it with the hope of making it* a iinanciai success. A few years of labor demonstrated the fact Jthat it was not a profitable investment, and putting his sou Otto in charge he sough t other channels ot business and dually sold iiis stock farm to a Mr. Tom Lovett, also of Peru. It was during Otto’s stay on' the farm, after he married a Miss Porter, thafr-Ottrr - became indebted to this otiice the sum of S 3 ob for subseriptiou and advertising a horse. When the i farm was sold and Otto removed to Peru ho paid no attention*'to a number of debts ho bad contracted in this plaee, j and there was considerable talk about the unbusinesslike manner in which he had treated his creditors.

Some time after he became a wholesale vender of Peru beer, manufactured by Omer Cole, and Otto frequently visited this place to dispose of his decoction of rainwater and old boots, but he never camo near to make any statement as to his ability or willingness to liquidate our account. Wo theu addressed him ! a Very polite letter in regard to the matter, but ho paid no heed to the very mellow epistle. Three or four weeks ago he was in Rochester, and we met him upon the stroet, at which time wo expected he would make some mention of his delinquency, but he did not, wheieupon we made out a bill and had the junior partner of the Republican present too same lor payment: The only answer he made was ‘ S I will pay that some day.” t Up to this time we had not learned that George Rettig and his Son had met with any financial embarrassment, and believing that Ot had abundant means to pay r his printing bill we felt that he was attempting to dead-beat us out of the amount, and thereupon we informed the public of his disposition to wear diamonds at a poor priuter's expense. After the article had been perused by the public Mr. Charles Brackett informed us that Mr._ ftettig is about financially Swamped, and inasmuch as Otto depended entirely upon thp employment and means, furnished by his father, ho was also very hard up. Had ive known these facts before showing 'Tip fho young man our pen would have been withheld, but iike Pontius Pilate, wliat we had written we had written, though we Sad no desire to do any person an injustice, especially one with whom we had been upon familiar terms from his infancy. An editor of a country paper is so frequently and shamefully imposed upon by; delin' querns that ho is. justified in ventilating those at least wlio fly high , and apparently have millions—to get. Ot Rettig is twoary-live years.bf age is very muscular, nroad suouidered, Lug -HeekHdv-we4i-p;.oporiiojnd,.athletic and weighs about ono hundred and eighty pounds.. _ Like his father, lie has shad considerable experience as a knocker, and no ordinary individual is capable of downing his anatoiny. We were informed by a friend directly after the offensive article appeared that there were some party, or parties here who were encouraging Ot to disfigure opr physiognomy, and wo rather expected . trouble when the proper occasion was pvseuted.

Monday this pugilistic vernier of Peru swill met the writer near Jesse Shield's corner and without any particular preparations or preparatory ceremony the battle commenced and raged with varying sueeesss until Constabl<£ Ferguson put in an appiarance.*- Ije wos i-non fnlhivved hv Stwr'ff Wallace, his deputy Calvin and Marshal Ward, lfy their united efforts theantagonists were separated before any jparticuiftf personal injury was occasioned by either. Ot p'elted its one on our alabaster brow, scratched our nose and aural appendage, while we frescoed his leit optic and churned the beer in 'his abdominal regions severely. An assaulting'party has the advantage in such personal contests, but we shall always believe that had not the officers interfered we should have done him up in great shape.

We are very sorry to be connected witli such a disgraceful affair, but in this case it was unavoidable. We have never yet commenced a tight, but have always been found ready to defend ou r personal interests and the principles we represent. Otto was fined five dollars and costs* amounting in all to $>8.20. He also paid the account due this office and received a receipt in full of all accounts. For the peace and dignity of Rochester, find the credit of the parties interested, we hope the war is over, but if at any time the engagement is renewed it may result disastrously. ,
