SOLDIERS AT THE POLLS.

Admit, for argument's rake, and as a fa?t, that an army in the vicinity of the polls used aa a civil police force when men vote is a menaee and interferes with the natural freedom and independence of the citizen, a proposition that has been and is maintained by George W. McCrary in his admirable work on elections. This makes no issue on which the parties are now divided. President Hayes, who has removed every vestige of militaiy interference with local self governments, himself approved the political rider to the army appropriation bill preventing the use of the army as a police force on election days. This was going as far as the constitution contemplates, and merely places in statatory fbrm what has been the uniform practice of all the republican admkistrations io time of peace. Congress has power by virtue of section 8, of article 1, to enact a law to organise and efjuip an army. Congress shall appropriate money for the support of the army at least every two years. The present congress at their extra session coupled with the proposed appropriation political legislation virtually annulling acts of Congress, but afterward, at the suggestion of the president, modified their tfltimatum so that it received his sanction. The president is the commander in chief of the army. Consti tution,- Art. 2, Sec. 2. It is the president's dqty to execute and enforce the laws of the United States. The United States shall guarantee to every state a republican form of government. Art. 4, * Sec. 4. AU executive officers shall be bound by oath to support the constitution of the United States. Art. 6. No stale shall make or enforce any law which sfraJJ abridge the privileges of a . citizen of the United States, nor - deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Art. 14. The right of citizens to vote shall not be abridged or denied on account of race, colpr or previous condition of servitude. Art. 15. The law of the United States which is now in foree as to the use of the army on election day, is as follows: No person in the military or naval service of the United States shall appear armed at the place of any general or special election- unless it be necessary to repel Che armed enemies of the United States Or to keep peace at the polls. No offi-cer-of the army or navy shall, by proclamation, order or otherwise in any manner interfere with the freedom of any election, or with the exercise of the free right of suffrage. Revised Statutes of the United States, Sec. Z',002-, title xxvi, p. 353. Under the law as it novF is, tfie army cannot abridge a free and peaceable ballot. The army never has as an army acting under the direction of its commanders in any manner prevented impar tial suffrage. The democratic outcry against the army is a mere Brutum Fulmero. That party seeks by deriding and abusing the army to make votes for their party. It is a studied piece of demagoguery. The soldiers are the true blue guard .of the nation's honon. Every patriot loves their appearing. They' bring with them law, order, peace and protection. On election day no peaceful, law abiding man should be coerced by either citizen or soldier in casting his - ballot. Neither should any man or set of men be allowed to intimidate their fellows. Armed citizens assembled near the ballot box are certainly as dangerous *to liberty as armed soldiers. The republicans offered to so amend Sec. 2,002 making it a crime for any armed men to approach the polls at any election. The democrats all voted against this wholesome restriction because it would apply to all alike. They want anarchy at the polls, and do not want the peace kept. Why would it not be a whole some regulation to prevent all armed interference with elections at, or going to or returning from the polls, under heavy penalties? To absolutely prevent the executive from enforcing the provisions \ and guarantees of the constitution wouldremit in - confusion and be a’ heeose to wickdl violations of law. The democratic party claim that each locality must be supreme, aud set at naught the authority of the nation. Voters should try to inform themselves before they endorse a policy which tends to fraud, violence, and local intimidation, and denounce a policy which guarantees equal rights, I law, order, and protection to every voter in the United States. Like the new jjirj system proposed by the democrats, tifM party wants elections subject to local, partial, and sinister influences.

We will Mt be responsible to any citizen of Fort Wayne for the manner in which the Kknssblaeb Stasdarr spells the name of that city in copying an article from these columns. An ••a’’ instead of an “o” in the first word, refl ecu upon the dignity of that city very seriously.—[Roohester Sentinel. That was indeed a grievous error, one which tinged our cheek with shame when it was discovered too late to remedy. It was not on oar own account that we felt so deeply moved at the. mysterious appearance of that one little “a” for an o. but when the dignity of a city like Fort

Wayne is thus reflected upon it is indeed humiliating. We beg pardon, and hope the injury Inflicted will not be of a serious naturt. As the efrar was purely accidental we ask the forgiveness of the good people of Fort Wayne, and promise to “go sin no more.” A disease similar to. and equally aa fatal as cholera is ravaging Centerpoint, Linn county, lowa. Fully twenty persons have died from its effects within the past two Weeks, and aS many more are prostrated by it. It has also appeared it Walker j a small town situated about seven miles from Centerpoint, and several deaths have occurred there.’ The citizens of Centerpoint are badly scared and arejfleeing from the town. Judge Bland Ballard, of the United States Court, died suddenly at his home in Louisville, Kentucky, on last Tuesday afternoon. Heart disease qr apoplexy is supposed to have been the cause of his death. He was one of the oldest and most influential -citizens of Louisville, and his sudden demise casts a gloom over the entire state. He was in his sixtieth year. *' Gov. Isaac P. Gray, Gep. M. D. Manson, Bayless W. Hanna and William Henderson left Indianapolis, Tuesday, for Cleveland, Ohio, to assist the democrats of that state in laying the wires for the approaching election. '. Look out for an overwhelming republican victory. ‘•Yellow Jack” is still playing sad havoc among the remaining inhabitants of Memphis. From six to fifteen new cases and five to ten deaths are reported daily with no prospect of abatement of the dreadful disease. The Indianapolis Journal remarks that “the general that will route the democracy this year is General Prosperity.” It begins to look that way. 'I Yellow fever has made i)ts appearance in New Orleans. Five cases have been reported to the board of health, but as yet none have died. The first state election :of the series to be held this season, will be that of Kentucky, which occurs next Mondav. J ■ 1 For the week ending July 26th, one hundred and seventeen deaths occurred from yellow fever at'Havana. - ■ The internal revenue receipts for July amounted to $9,500,000, and the customs receipts about 813,000,000.

WAS IT ORIGINAL?

Editob Standard:—Tyo weeks ago when I took occasion to write an article for your paper in regard to the temperance movement in Remington, it never entered my thick head that the Argus eyes of one of our most talented, brilliant and original writers would pronounce the effusion a borrowed one. As the language used was in existence loag before my day fam compelled in expressing my ideas to use words that 1 believe are universally found in the diction' aiy. If that is what he meant by not being original 1 must plead guilty to the charge and throw myself uponjt|>e mercy of the would be critic. This is, however, an offense that'can be remedied by ignoring common language and' using words not known or thought of by any orthography smashers from Noah Webeterdown, as does my friend, the critic, who claims that “Tbe Temperance Movement ih Remington*’ was riot original with G. W. H. Is it [.ossible that the article which I theught a very t«me affair towered so far above his transmogrified imagination that he supposed it to Ke beyond the power of a citizen of Remington to cudgel his brairig sufficiently to bring it forth? Let us have a little charity for the young man and try to think he was only jesting- I lay no claims to being a writer of any ability, but what I do undertake in that line has ever been and doubtless ever will be a pure and unadulterated original- * • G, W.-H. When Blue Jeans Williams was running for governor, Mr. Hendricks who filled the offiee, met w democrat who he had beard intended to vote against the candidate, and said te hfrar "Mr. J., I hear you will not vote for Mr. Wiltagp; why is this’” “Well,” was the reply, *‘J don't think Williams a fit roan for the plane, I • think th< governor of a State like Indiana ought to be a mao of more ability and education. 1 want a governor to whom I can point with pride: ■ I don’t think Mr. Williams at all qualified fertheposition.” “Oh, now,don’t talk that way/-’ said governor Hendricks, coaxingly, “I assure* you on my word of honor it doesn’t take a very smart man to be Governor.”—[lndianapolis Journal.

REMINGTON GOSSIP.

Quite aa later**: to hept up ia she lately inaugurated Toaposnaou sudsra and so tor as known the a ear we of the blue are holding out toithtol. ftotwithstaading the stringency of the money market, the Christian Church has been treated externally to a eoat of paint, which materially improves its appearance. The newly painted seats at the Presbyterian Church disappointed the painter and disgusted the sitters. The seats were not carried off but most of the paint was, on the clothing of the congregation. < The hunters are cleaning up their shot guns and are making it lively for the birds, driving them from place to place and allowing them no time for rest and.refreshment. Of bourse they are hot after prairie chickens, onlf birds. i Flax seed is coming in pretty lively at present and it is confidently expected that within the next two months, $25,000 wfll be paid out in Remington for that article alone. This ought to relieve Jhe farmers and business men materially in their financial relations. About these days a little rain would be acceptable, enough to settle the dust at any rate. The groffnd is getting very dry and many wells begin to show signs of weakening. Grass in the pastures too is withering and stock is on rather short rations. is a good time for securing small grain, and farmers are improving the time. Oats and flax are yielding well and threshing machines are running to the best of their ability. Iri view of the bountiful harvest it does seem as though the better times are at hand. From present appearance an ‘ 'irrepressible conflict” will one of these days take place between the bipeds and rodents of this placb. Just now the rats have the btest of it. The sidewalks, cellars, hedgerows and every old building are literally swarming with them. The grain houses, cornfields, gardens and chicken coops furnish their food and they help themselves with as j much cheek as though all these t bings were made for their especial benefit. Thousands are killed every year and yet they are alarmingly increasing. “Something has to pe did” or else the hu- . mans must vaiiate th'e prehiiseS. Your special correspondent it seems has made a serious mistake in supposing that he could remain incog. He forgot that the Remington Reporter was in full blast, and that the natural shrewdness and keen perceptions of the editor of the aforesaid paper, could, and in all human probability would penetrate the vail of mystery and bring forth to the public the name of your nnworthy correspondent.

RAILROADS.

No one can take a map of the state of Indiana and’scan it closely without coming to the conclusion that Rochester is destined to become a railroad center of so s mil importance. It is situated iu a belt of country which no railroad can be bulls running east or west, without making it a point on the line. There is now under contract Mid course of cori&ti-ucliori; a'lutmow gauge from the east to this place, which, when completed will be one among the best and meat important roads in the country. It will connect the far east and distant west by a line much shorter then any now in operation and as a consequence traveling and freight expenses will be proportionately reduced. Rochester now has a north and south railroad connect- ' ing the capital of the State and cities on the Ohio river, vritlr Lake Michigan, the great lumber country of Michigan, and Chicago the metropolis of the west. It will be but a short time until the road above alluded to will be completed and carrying to the best grain markets in the world by the most direct* line the enormous farm products of this rich section of country. With an outlet to the Atlantic coast and Chicago, the Ohio river, and Lake Michigan, Rochester will be second to no other town in northern Indiana as a business center- But our hopesand prospects do nut end here. This large and fertile portion of the country that has so long been unoccupied by railroads, is Attracting the attention, of other railroad men among the number be'yig parties at Fort Wayne who desire to gather some of the richness with which this country abounds. Il is proposed by parties* in that city, abundantly able to carry out any railroad project they may undertake, to build a line from Fort Wayne to North Manchester, there to intersect with the narrow gauge which comes to this place. If possible, the Fort Wayne Company will use the Chicago & Atlantic from Manchester to this place. From this point the Fort Wayne will extend its line westward to Kewanna, Winamac, Rensselaer and the Mississippi river. The above is the outline of the road now proposed to be constructed by parties of R>rt Wayne. Mr. W. H. Jones and J. Gorman; both of Fort Wayne, the former one of the chief movers of the enterprise, the latter a civil engineer, had-intended-so visit Rochester tH*' weaa and take a view of the country west of us, but were unavoidably detained at home by the sickness of Mr. Gorman. It is probable they will be here early next week. All these taken into consideration, points with unerring certainty to the future greatness of Rochester.' Our imagination is not so lively as to conceive that it will ever be the rival of Chicago, but it will be a flourishing city excelled by but few for railroad facilities and surpassed by none for beauty and health. It is now greatly admired by 4 every one who visits the town and* when the proposed railroads arc completed it will be the home of the capalists and men who have an eye on it as the place for the establishment of extensive manufactories. —-[Rochester Sentinel.

THEIR OCCPPATION IS GONE.

For several years past “bard times’’ baa been the constant campaign cry of the Democratic party. Politicaßy speaking it has liked oa hard times, the argumeat being that the Republican party was responsible for thisktate of affairs arid that there could be no improvement till thk Democracy got in power. For a while a good many foolish people listened to this argument and were induced to vote with the Democracy in the hope of bringing better times. Now, however, they see that better times are coming through the reanmption of specie payments and other things which the Democratic party Ims persistently opposed. They see that if the Democrats had snooeeded, instead of better times there would have been worse. They see that the Republican policy has brought the country the -financial crisis, has restored confidence, aud is bringing back prosperity. Therefore, the Democratic occupation of prating about hard times is gone. The bottom is knocked out of that argument, and the Democratic statesmen of the Voorhees school, who, in the last campaign, piled up bogus statistics and quoted “The Song of the Shirt,” to move their audiences, wfll have to invent some lie# device.—[lndianapolis Journal. The dempcrats made great promisee relative to favoring the Union soldiers officially. But they are poor performers. Whenever they cun strike down a crippled soldier they do it. The latest sample was given by us last week, in the case of 8. S. Wilson of N. Y., who was an employe in the senate. He was retained until adjournment and then summarily dropped. His case is an aggravating one. He was a faithful officer, and is a cripple, having lost both legs at Gettysburg. Ho is the kind of hero the brigadiers don’t like.—[Crown Point Register. The Democratic party regards the United States election law as a grievance. ■Criminals and those who prosper by violating law regard all laws as grievances. A Congress composed of counterfeiters and mail robbers would have gone much farther than the Democrats did in nullifying the' statutes, though they could not have shown a worse spirit. “No thief e’er felt the halter draw with good opinion of the law.” r[Stark County Enterprise. When Phil.-Sheridan-rode from Winchester to victory he shouted to the boyg, “we’ve got*a twist on them.” And he had, as Eaily found. The brigadiers in Congress have been bringing back the Union forces this winter and spring, but we are rallying now, and in the autumn election the Republicans will get a ‘‘twist” on the rebels that will make their hair stand on end.—[lndianapolis Journal. * The heirs of the devotedly reconstructed Southern woman who died recently and left Jeff Davis a fortune, have brought suit to set aside the will, and Jeff has a fight'over a woman’s shoe on his hands.
