prosperity strike* terror to denoentie hopes. * • / A wrioa strike is threatened by the coal nucn in lows, to take place some tine in October. Her. W. W. Curry will take a hand in the Ohio canvass, and each a currying as the deaoemta will receive at his hands will be pleasing to behold. The repoblieans gained twenty members of the legislature in Kentucky. If this is an indication *of the drift of political sentiment the ootlook for the democrats in the coming presidential struggle is exceedingly gloomy. ———————— * The late rains have blighted the proapoets tor a bountiful harvest of democratic votes at the approaching elections. The threatened drouth and a failure of crops were their only salvation, but, alas, the gentle dews of heaven have put out the last glimmering rays of hppe, and now they mourn and refuse to be comforted. Verily, “God moves in a mysterious way His wooders to perform.” The death of Mrs. Sartoris, daughter of ez-Presdent Grant, which wasannoun eed as having occurred oo tbe 6th instant, is contradicted by a dispatch from London bearing date of August 18th. The mistake arose from the death of another Mrs. Sartoris. The many friends of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris who were pained at the announce meat of her death will be glad to hear that the report was untrue.

The ctj of ‘‘financial ruin." which has been so extensively indulged in by the democrats for several years past, is about to be saeceeded by the cry of “political ruin.* 1 The abundant harvests hare knocked the props from under them and they see political ruin on every hand boldly staring them in the face. They are doomed to everlasting defeat and might as well submit gracefully and die easy as to struggle hopelessly and die in a fit of desperation. Desiring to keep up the standard of excellence already attained, the editor »f The Standard will hereafter decline to publish any and all personal allusions to any individual which tend to reflect upon, «* » any way injure, their character or stauding in community. Filling the columns of a newspaper with personal quarrels and abuse ia not only stepping over the bounds of respectable journalism Eat hr also trespassing upon the rights of the patrons es such paper in that it deprives them of a great amount of news to which they are iustly entitled and surrenders up the space belonging to them to a lot of balderdash which is not only uninteresting but really disgusting to all except the parties concerned. The mission of a country newspaper is to supply its readers with all the local newß of the county in which it is published and as much general news as its space will allow. This is what the people want and expect to get when they subscribe for a county paper. They care nothing about newspaper controversies and petty personal disputes,, and very little about tbe paper that constantly indulges in them. Therefore*, in justice to our patrons and everybody else we shall aim to give them a paper entirely free from personal abuse or anything that will tend to engender hatred and bitter feelings among the people. Correspondents will please make a note es this and govern themselves accordingly'.

Captain Henry Dixon, late independent candidate for sheriff of Yazoo county, Mississippi, was shot, in Yazoo City, Tuesday morning, and died at 4 o’clock p. ro. of the same day. The dispatch hearing the painful intelligence to the country at large says affair is shrouded ia great mystery.” The assassination was undoubtedly the work of the democracy. His-coming out as an independent candidate after beiug defeated in securing-the nomination-at the hands of the democrats was more than- they oonld stand. Accordingly steps were taken to dispose of him- in some way, that the democracy might have fall sweep. They first tried to penuade him to withdraw, but failing in thia they resolved to force him to withdraw and leave the county, threatening to take his life if he did- net. After considerable parleying he agreed to withdraw if they would permit him to remain with his fitmily in Yazoo, which they consented to-do. To thia end he announced his withdrawal, which was heralded- as smother great democratic victory. It was not long, however, until be changed his mind and resolved to again unosnee himself as an independent candidate. The announcement was made and the result is before the He was coolly and deliberately murdered for daring to act in accordance with his principles. Such is democracy at the south, and not a single democratic newspaper in the north will utter a word of condemnation for the terrible outrage. j

THE COMING FAIR.

The Boaiß of Dnpeton of the Jasper bed to hold a F* this aeaaca, all report* to the I ■■* f r|*h>lhlMwtauifing The Fair wfll be held oft then* grounds near Beumelaer, eouamencing October 7th and: eoctinning four days. The members of the Boeiety will heave nothing undone that can be done to make the exhibition this year in every department exceed all former oaea. It i* a foci that the Society ■ now ou a more solid baas and b batter' condition financially than it has ever been, and can be counted among the permanent institutions of the eonnty. All the Society asks ia the hearty cooperation and assistance of every eitisen of the oounty, and every one cen lend a helping band in some way or other. Let every person resolve to attend the Fair and bring with them something to place oo exhibition. There is not an individual in tbe county who has the welfare of the county at heart but what can contribute something to help make the coming Fair a success. The abundant harvest will enable the farmers all to select some article of produce to bring to the Fair. A peck of wheat or oats, or a bushel of corn or potatoes selected from the immense yield and placed upon exbition by each one would add to the interwt of the Fair and aid materially in making thejexhibition a success. Go to work at once mod get your stock in order. Collect together such articles of produce as you think will reflect credit upon: the agricultural resources of the county as well as upon the producer. , Let the manufacturers, mechanics, merchants, artists, ecc., also contribute their works: of merit, and the industrious housewives theirs. By so doing all will rea< der aid to the enterprise which will greatly redound to their credit and insure one of the beet county Fain ever held in the state.

It is possible that the public generally does not understand that voting aid to • railroad is simply taking stock in the road to -the amount of aid voted. It seems to be the general impression of the people that the assistance so rendered is nothing more nor less than a donation upon iheir part. The following plain statement of the case from the Roches ter Sentinel ought to make the matter clear to the minds of all concerned: M lt is not generally known 'among the people that appropriations made by county, township or town corporations for the purpbee of aiding in building railroads is by no means a free gift. It is simply taking stock in the road to the amount of the appropriation. Every tax-paver aho pays a dollar of tax for railroad purposes is entitled to just that amount of stock in the road. When he pays his tax to the county treasurer, he has only to ask for and receive hia certificate of the amount paid and if sufficient to amount to one share of railroad Qtock he is entitled to receive it upon presentation of his certificate to the proper officers of the railroad company. If suchcounty, township, town or individuals do pot take up their certificates withip four yeans after the payment of the taxes,'they revert to the common school shod ; and are gathered up by the proper officers of the law whoee business it is to lookj after the school interests. Thus it wil| be seen that the money paid for railroad purposes, by taxation, is not a donation in the ordinary acceptation of that term, but ia simply a loan made to the company build ing the road, which is repaid! to the oor-< poration or person paying the tax in the shape of stock in railroad, and if not so claimed by them within {.he time prescribed by law. the stock becomes due to the common schools.”

Kentucky io on*.” Yes, you dutch-at-*-straw democrats. “Kentucky is safe’’ by about 16,000 majority. And what a victory too; when Tilden carried it by about 65,000 majority! Afew movesuch groat victories and there won’t bo a democratic state !u> tbe Union! Aeeording to Kentucky** experience Indiana will have a republican majority of 45,000 in 1880. Yes, poor; ignorant, Judge-killing Kentucky is “safe.!’—[Lafayette Journal.

FINIS.

winch wh pnlliihiit ia Thb flra»an» of July 19, 1819. that it fwU W tka cum ot envious criticism, base personal attacks, low livsd caloauaim aad disgusting ribaldry from the Editor of the Reporter. Tat cash he boon tho can* through an wish, desire, or fcalt of mine. I have refrained from taunting him with any personal and physical defects ha may pomam and for which the Almighty alana is rsspsnsihls. Hat sa with him. la hat wash’s issue of the Reporter his Billingsgate vernacular having ran short, ha tarns apod an affliction with .which my acquaintances knew I have suffered for years and be sappaaes ha was witty. Search creation over, rake the bagnios of New Orleans and tan loose the lowest dance hoates aad brothels of the Five Points in New York and not one among thorn all, is found so lost to all sense es manhood and decency, so utterly devoid of self respect, honor, or eourage, as to bring lata a controversy the im • perfection or maladies placed upon the human frame by the hand of God. My first article in Tbs Standard drew from him, envious, unfriendly, un gentlemanly and unfair criticisms, and be at the same time indulged in personal insinuations which he : knew to be false as doss everybody who knows ms. Since then every issue of the Remington Reporter hss contained assertions from bis pen which he knew to be ' false, as was every charge he has made against me, as can be proven. He says in his last that “G. W. H. makes light of the attention ahown Jimmy Dunn” etc. I defy him to produoe anything to prove a word of troth in the assertion. He was evidently whipped in his early youth for accidentally telling the truth and the panishment was effectual 'He has never been known to do tbs like since. As to his strings of blatherskite balderdash of last week, I have onlj this to say. No one but a low lived, mean, sneaking, contemptible and cowardly cur would ever inaugurated such a, newspaper controversy as he has. He (Utters himself that in the coarse of a 45 years life he will amonnt to something more than a country school teacher. He will be under the necessity of rising faster than a geometrical progression would take him, with a ratio of 7 and the number of terras 24. Ohe feeling of safety he can take through life with him. There is no medical writing of an idiot ever becoming insane. All his allusions to me thus far have produced the same result as was experienced by the Irishman when he fired the old musket at the squirrel. Tne recoil sent Pat into the mod and slime, while the squiirel whisked joyftilly up a tree. I feel a little as tbough I had been kicked by a jackass, but then I consider. An owl sitting > on a tree looked below him and spied a crow. Said the owl, “You are a poor miserable black cuss.” Replied the erow, ‘‘Well that don’t hurt. Nobody but ad—d fool said it.’* So I look upon the sensational writings of “Cox.” Feeling that this dissension has been uninteresting and to the half doien readers of the Reporter, disgusting, this will close oo my part, all allusions to the hoodlum apology for an editor and nothing he can say will bring a reply from me. I never could see either profit, pleasure or sense in uring a seige gun to kill a grasshop-

FROM GOODLAND.

Editor Standard: —While sitting in our office waiting for a customer our thoughts naturally revert back to the beautiful little city of Rensselaer, and to the good citizens, whose commendable enterprise is mainly instrumental in building it up and increasing its many attractions in the shape of fine houses and other useful institutions. Among them, aud not tbe least by any means, is The Standard, which 'comes to ms regularly once a week as a very welcome visitor. We like Tux Standard for the reason that it is one of the neatest, spiciest and best regulated local newspapers in the state. We trust that it will live long and prospei, and continue its visits to our den for mauy years to come. Goodland is a nice little town of about 800 inhabitants, situated on the Panhandle railroad, eight miles east of Kentland the county seat of this Newton county. Its citizens are genial, whole-souled people, and are neighborly, honorable and enterprising. There are three grain elevators ift operation here, all under tho management and control of our respected fellow townsman, Mr. Charles Hartley, who, by-the-way, we consider the champion of Indiana, and perhaps the United States for honor and honesty, he having heretofore contracted immense amounts of flaxseed at 90 cents per bnshel, and finding, after tbe market opened, that the price was better than he anticipated, he has been paying on all snob contracts at the rate of $1 pei bushel. How is that for square dealing ? We almost forget to say that the colored population of this plsoe numbers 26, and that they are as a rule as peaceable and quiet as their white neighbors. They age to have a picnie at the grove, half a mile north of here, on Saturday, the 28d inst. An excuiision train will he run from Kokomo and Logans port to accommodate all who may attend. Everybody, colored or otherwise, including the citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity are respectfully and cordially invited to be present and participate in the enjoyments to be afforded on that occasion..

u Times are improving here quite perceptibly and* me hope to see still further improvements ia this direction as tho abundant harvests are being marketed. Will report yon the markets at another tine. With kind wishes for the prosperity of yourself, and Rensselaer in- general, we are as ever, ■ Paco kiss. A number of names have been mentioned already in connection with tbe republican nomination for congress in this district. Among them are K. G. Shryock, of Rochester, Milroy and Gould, of Delphi, Thompson and Hammond, of Rensselaer,. Baldwin,, of Logansport, and Fiald, of- Crown Point. There are also several other gwftlemeif named whoee names we dor not now retool-' lock It is early y«t to talk of this matter.' When the time comes, Pulaski will present a name.—[Winatnac Republican.-

Once more everything Seems bright and prosperous. Men are wearing sailing countenances beaming with the rays of returning hope, because of the bountiful crops, that munificent Providence has bestowed upon our people. Such gladsome faces are glad to look upon, when we remember that for four years agone, all have looked more or less sombre and care-wofh. Verily, the denizens of this corner of tbe great old world have abundant reason to rejoioe and be exceedingly glad,—[Sentland Gazette. Abou.t this season of the rear, editors of newspapers expect to receive visits from various and sundry persons who just called to say that they thought of making a summer Jaunt “and I thought if you feh disposed to furnish me a railroad pass from here to sad return,d would send yon a letter’’. ' The railroad faro thus saved would be twenty or thirty dollars ami the letter, in most-cases, dear at as many cents. Bat such is human nature.—[lndianapolis Journal.

Officials of roads centering at this point are not favorably struck with the iatrodftotiou of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago read to our railway system as a narrow gaage read, not that they are opposed to additional roads comiag in—all without exception siy tho mors roads the better. The incoaremionces attending tie breaking of the gauge will prove expensive, and will neeeessitato the laying of a third rail, putting ia new croesiifgs aad frogs, which careful estimates show will cost at least $90,000.
