The order of the Blue and the Gray, a polities! prohibition organization, ostensibly composed of soldiers of-the late war, of either side. It is a fact easily noticable, however, that the Organization is only being pushed actively in the states of New York, Ohio and Indiana. It is easy enough to see why that is so. The organization is, like the Prohibition party of which it is an adjunct, merely a democratic Aid Society, and is being worked to take temperance Union soldiers away from the Republican party, and in the states where their loss will be most injurious to the'Republican cause. Here is another little trophy to Mr. Allen G. Thurman. It has been discovered that the following plank of the democratic platfOTm of 1864 wbß wrifteh by the present democratic ranfliiWc for Vice-President The fact will still further endear him to the soldiers, Who were then in the field figktrttff for the -preßefvaCroti Union: ~ •‘Resolved.,Artist this convention does eiplicitly declare, as the eenee of American people, that

Sheriff Burfob, of Pulaski county, has sued the Winamac Prefect, anew Democratic paper in that town, for SIO,OOO damages. The Prefect felt aggrieved because the sheriff gave nil his legal printing to the old Democratic paper, the Journal, and gave expression to its wrath in a paragraph, which is the cause of the suit, and which rtfads as follows: “It is rumored that Sheriff Burton and the proprietor of the Democratic Journal share the printer’s fee for the publication of the sheriff’s sale notices, hence their appearance in that paper. Mr. Burton is now on his last term as a public officer and it looks as if lie is making all the money he can out of the position he holds.” J. H. Reddick and Frank Brown are the publishers of the Prefect. Mr. Reddick, the principal editor, is superintendent of schools in Pulaski county. Burton has engaged a formidable array of legal talent to push his suit, in fact all the lawyers in Winamac, and it looks as though he meant to make the dossal vertabrge of the Prefect exceeding weary, before he is done with it.
