THE STANDARD. . ' „ . -■» SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1879.

Cowgnwwn Calkins has introduced a bill in the bouse appropriating 8200,000 for the improvement of the Michigan Ciiy harbor. The amount asked to be appropriated is based upon the estimates of engineers who hare been ia charge of the improvement*, sod opoe the recommendations of the war department. [ The republican. national committee met in Washington on the 17th instant and elected Senator J. D. Cameron permanent chairman, on first ballot. After considerable discussion the committee agreed upon Chicago as the plaej, and Wednesday, June 2d, 1880, the time, for holding the national convention. Even Senator Voorhees is alarmed at the colored emigration from the south to this state He has introduced a resolution in the senate providing for a committee of five senator* to investigate the eaase leading to the negro emigration from North Carolina t 6 Indiana. Let the oommittee be appointed and the in. vestigation proceed at once. It would undoubtedly throw aome light upon the democratic plan of conducting elections in-the soath. On with the dance! Let fraud be unconfined!

The attempt of the democrats to override the will of the people of Msine by throwing out enough precincts to change the result, is likely to prove successful. They refuse to allow the returns to be examined until they are doctored up tosuit themselves. This appears to be s favorite game with democrats not only in Maine but in other states, and although they may succeed in gaining temporary control of a state government by pursuing such a policy, it will sooner or later meet with a stinging rebuke at the hands of the people. Trouble is brewing between the Uuited States and the Ute Indians, and war seems inevitable. The people of Colorado are determined upon the immediate and unconditional removal of the Ures from that state, and they are backed by the entiie war department. Judge Belford introduced a bill iu congress, Monday, providing that in case the Indians engaged iu the White river : massacre fail to surrender within thirty days, the tribe shall be declared public enemies of the Uuited States, and its rights to the reservation shall be declared forfeited. Lo, the poor Utes mast go! Senator Voorhees is evidently endeavoring to, secure to the democracy the soldier v.pte, and to that end is puzzling his mighty brain to know bow to proceed. On Monday last he presented, in the senate, a petition signed by numerous exsoldiers and sailors, asking that they be paid the difference between the value of greenbacks and gold at the time they received their pay for military service. Just where the petition came from, at>d how many true blue soldiers signed it, is a mystery and likely to remain so. It ia a deep laid .scheme to catch votes, but the soldiers are too well acquainted with Voorhees aud his record to nibble at such bait.

Judge D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport, will, we are informed, be a candidate before the republican state nominating convention for Supreme, Judge from the Fifth district. We know of no man better .qualified for the position, than Judge Baldwin. He is a lawyer of experience and fine attainments, and is recognised by the bar throughout the state as one among our ablest jurists. He ran for Attorney General in the last campaign, and made a gallant race. That his nomination would be equivalent to to election there could be no possible doubt, for he would not only poll the entire strength of his own party, but he would receive a liberal support from the opposition. His many friends in this part of the state would delight in his receiving the nomination, and would labor for Lis election. - . Democratic newspapers hsve lately been making a great bug-a-boo* of the colored immjgr.ition to this state, charging that it is i political scheme of the republicans to aid them in carrying the state next year. The Indianapolis Journal of Monday shows up the silliness of the charge in the following manner: ' "The fad that oat of twa hundred and twenty negroes arrived here from North Carolina only twenty-twoare mca, ia a sufficient answer to ihe charge that this movement ie the work of republican politicians. Idea <|o not import women and children to vole. The Ihct is the movement is purely a apontaneous one on the part of the eolored people Neither the republican party nor any republican organisation has had anything to do Witt it. The charge that it is a political scheme to republicanism the stale ia without a panicle of foundation. No such scheme exists except in the super-beat-■ed democratic imagination. The filets are ’that some two or three months ago thn rol%oi people in one of the interior comities '-of North Carolina dabbed together and sent two of their atunbar to this at.to to prospect and report as to the ebanee of obtaining employment hero. These men came on their own responsibility, as any others, white or b'sck, might come on a similar errand. In Putnnm county they received encouraging asvurancc* as to the prospect of obtaining work, aid Ihej returned to North Carolina and reported to their friends. Their repots ess ra<-h as to induce a small.patty to com# tW, and now tbesp hava been followed by

M IS' towards developing the resources es the State. At-all events, the doors of the state cannot tie shut against them, nod if they choeee to stop here common charity and hamaaity dictate that all good people should s>*i« ia -AfuiUtf' ibem employment and homes.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Editor, and as; you help oat ana of the tatteet turkeys ia the load, next Thursday. Where an you going to speed the Holidays? Hoi ace R. Jamas Is ia Chicago, this week, buying goods. Girls, it iaa’t long till leap year dad than comes oar tore. { Get reedy for the swearing oft process by tbs Ist of January. - Amoe Pettit, of Montieello, ia clerking for R. E. Spencer A Co. The fall term es the Renstelaer public schools closed Friday. Already the shop windows begin te re mind one of Cnristmae. 0, that we could have a heavy snow fall now. Wouldn’t it ho "just splendid.” * Mias Alice Hopkins returned, last Saturnrdsy, from an extended visit in Kentland. Read "Sand Bur’s’' visdicstion ia this column aad then say you knew it wasn’t beg, Miss Lola Mow has been appointed lead-; er of the singing class in the high school department. Next Wednesday evenisg ia the time the "ship" comes ia, and it will "east anohor’ ’ in the M. E. Church. Every man and boy that could raise a pair of skates were an the ice last bunday. Is it possible to send us soma missionaries? Now is the time togently intimate to Char* ley what nice presents you got last Christmas and wonder whet you will receive this time. • It is suggested that the Irving Literary Association get Bob Ingersoll to Lecture in Rensselaer. Private subscriptions to a considerable amount could bo had. The bsnd has brvo invited te play for both the Christmas entertainments in town Christmas eve. They will perhaps spend a portion of the evening at each place.

If a stranger should happen in Rensselaer about the time school closes of an evening his first conclusion would be that the inmates of a lunatic asylum'’ had escaped and were taking the town. Those young ladies in Rensselaer who purpose keeping open doors on New Year's day will please leave their names with the editor of the St.4KUa.rd, who will report them for publication in this column. The committee of arrangements for the Christmas entertainment to be given in the M. FL Church have decided to hare a ship instead of the old timeworn Christmas tree. A committee consisting of Ed. Tharp, Wm. Warren, Miss Emma Rhoades and Miss Belle Alter were appointed to construct the sbis and engineer the entertainment. A meeting of the school is called for to-night. Mrs. Abby Sage Richardson 1 will lecture in the new opera house on Monday evening, December 22nd, on the trio of poets, Longfellow, Lowell and Whittier. The Irving Literary Association deserve great credit for their enterprise in securing such good speakers for the culture and improvement of Rensselaer denizens. On this occasion will be the opening of the grand opera house recently; completed by Willey <fe Sigler, and alarge audisnoo will undoubtedly be present. Eli Perkins disturbed a large audience at Starr’s Hall last Monday evening. - Mr. Beecher, an author quite well known in Brooklyn, thus writes to the Loadon Times, in ngurd to Mr. Perkins’ eloquence: “Words cannot describe the impressive sight. How snblimel to see Mr. Perkins standing perfectly erect, with one hand on his broad, massive, thick skull, talking to the educated classes—to see the great orator declaiming perfectly unmoved, while streams of people got up and went out! How grand a spectacle, as joke after joke felt from the eloquent lipaof this Cicero of orators to watch the enthusiastic crowds arising majestically as one man, and waving their hands as they clamorously demanded their—money back at the box office.” }!
