Is Grant's Administration a Failurel

TlwXww t«A •&. re—e «f lho»a„ w/ortanato m»iwdrow<.i«s in th( jinlMal atul vegetable king* doinMMUed. bermaphrodi t«v, among ncwapaperx named neutral*, whowe ■ex d?ranotiw > determined. In try* ing tb •‘shine for aH,” U aoipetiuiea liide<the light of truth, producing a woadar&ai eabfme. Speaking of the late elections in the Southern States, it Kuya: "The Republican party aecnia to Im* (MMaittg through a ru<»4 dangerous erbia. Tlie Southern elections an- all urainat it, and if the current in no* changed its doom is certain. Three •-au.-*eß are working for tbedeatrueUoii of thia great party: the conapicuoua fidlure of Grant’s administration, the universal amnesty notions of Hon. Horace Greeley, and the instability of the negro vote.’’ The first reason here assigned is as far from the fact as falsehood is from truth. When General Grant was inaugurated less than six months ago, he found the legislative and executive departments of the government at variance to such an extent as to threaten the peace of the country, anarchy and violence and political proscription ran riot over nearly tho whole South, he found thieves in the custom houses, counterfeiters in the treasury department, robbers and defaulters squandering the revenues or compounding to evade their payment; he found that instead of decreasing the public debt by the proceeds of an enormous revenue tax, the imbecile administration he suc- •• cceded had confessed its mability to pay the debts it was daily contracting, and every monthly report of its financial officer showed rapid strides towards bankruptcy. All k-mds of industry was languishing throifghottt the country. Government securities were depreciating daily and gold was as steadily advancing. Our foreign ambassadors of ability had been removed and their places supplied with dotards to the prejudice and contempt of the nation. How is it now? In less than half a year long strides have been made towards the correction of these political evils. The executive department honestly and effectually enforces the laws of the legislative department and there is no clashing of authority between them ; important and exciting elec, tions are held in the Sotfm without blood-shed or the interference of the military; rogues have been removed from office and their places given to honest men; the revenues are being faithfully collected and scrupulously applied to the payment of the public debt which shows a monthly decrease at once unparalleled, wonderful and unexpected. Government securities have rapidly advanced while gold has as steadily gone down the scale. We are represented at foreign courts by men of culture and ability, honored at home and respected abroad. The first premise is false. As yet President Grant's administration is not a failure, but an eminent success. Whether Mr. Greeley's universal amnesty notions will work the destruction of this great party or not depends very- much on a number of contingencies yet in the future, among the principal of which is their adoption by any considerable number of people.

So far as the negro rote is concerned there is not much to loose or gain. Like white men, the negro will vote for his interests and the party bidding highest will secure liis support Their loss will not destroy the republican party, neither will their gain bring the democratic party into power, for they have not the numbers to hold a balance of power, neither are they united. " The republican party was organmed without their assistance and a withdrawal of their support weed cause no alarm. The late Southern elections do not indicate the dissolution of the republican party, or that the negroes are likely, tfeleave it, or that the present administration is unpopular, but rather that no other party can win, that the negroes will rally to no other name, and that the mere recognition of the President was eagerly sought by all parties as something carrying jjreat prastige.

The "Iron Clad" Oath.

Generjd Canby proposes that the ■ test oath shall be exacted from the newly elected members of the Virginia legislature. Why this purpose of General Canby’s should raise so much tfxciteqftent in political circles ilia bird fi> Ifetermine. The “iron Invent igfelgfigm getting ioriteoL

those States Hut went into the reVullipih and provides that no pvt-, son shall hold any office under the United States or any State, who has once taken an oath to support the ! the constitution of the United States •ad afterwards engaged in rebellion •gainst th« same, or given aid and ■woiufort to the enemies thereof, but Congress may by a two-thirds vote in each House remove the disability. By Uiis law General Canuy will bd Injure rued, and we do not see that it matters much who are hurt; whether they are conservatives, democrats, or repubiivaiMi, they should bo required to take it, and by that means Iwe will insure a legislature in Virginia that will at least be as loyal ua could be expected from the State j in which was situated the ConfederI ate capital. And then, if some of J the legislators cannot take the “iron . clad oath,” will not the saving ‘ clause to the law save them? Will not Congress remove the disability? We have the authority of the Chicago Tribune and many other leading republican papers for saying that the election in Virginia was a republican victory, this being so, then the test oath need not trouble the members elect, for is not that proof enough, “that they have frankly and honestly co-operated with us in restoring the peace of the country, and arc reconstructed?” Let them attempt the “iron clad,” and if it is more than their weak stomachs can stand, then upon the showing of the universal suffrage and amnesty papers Congress must remove the diability of treason and admit them into the i Union as thoroughly reconstructed •nd worked over, s<l that the stench of treason, is totally obliterated.

Federal Patronage.

The Indianapolis Journal ai d the Chicago Tribune are quarreling about the attitude of the administration towards the rival political parties of the South; the one claiming that the President favors the radicals, and the other insisting that he is in sympathy with the conservatives. The Journal is positive that the patronage of the • general government was used to aid the Stokes faction in Tenues see, while the Tribune insists that Senter received its help. In onr opinion the Washington government has no business interfering with elections. It is just as wrong for the President or his cabinet to buy votes with official patronage as it is for others to bity them with money. This interference of federal officers with the rights, privileges and duties of the people is contrary to the genius of democracy, is subversive of good government, is dangerous to the peace of the country, corrupts the ballot, strikes at the liberty of the masses, and instead of being a matter of boast should be frowned upon by all good and patriotic men. These journals should be ashamed to uphold such corruption, and if they would be party leaders they will have better success in gaining the confidence of honest men if they would denounce Corruption instead of boasting its assistance. As far as the truth of the matter is concerned, wc doubt very much there being a shadow of it. The simple fact that both parties claim to be the favorite is strong presumptive evidence that neither has had any conspicuous favors shown it.

New Draining Company.

In an other place will be found a call for a meeting of the citizens of Jasper county, for the purpose of organizing a draining company, to drain and reclaim the lands overflowed by the Iroquois river and its branches. The land proposed to be drained is all that lying above town' that is overflowed by both the Iroquois and Pinkamink. It is said that by cutting down the falls of the river at. this place five feet, in addition to removing the dam, all the land above town now overflowed with every rise of water, will be completely drained and reclaimed. There is perhaps nothing the farmer can do that will advance his interests and the interests of the county more than to organize draining companies to drain the wet lands of the county and give them an outlet for the surplus water standing on most of the farms in this county. These complies being composed only of those who own land that will be affected by the drain, can be so conducted that the burdens will bear equally upon all, and all will be benefited alike. It is a move in the right direction, aud one that should have been commenced and carried put years ago. If the farmers of Jasper comity had paid the attention they should have paid to ditching their land, instead of fess than one-|

eighth ot a crop of corn this year, wc might have had from cue half to two-thirds of a crop. We trust that the citizens of Barkley, Hanging Grove and Marion townships whose landsor other property will be Affected in any way will be at the meeting. . General Kosr.< hans could not be the democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio because he was in favor of paying his debts, so they nominated Pendleton who is in. favor of repudiating the national debt. —— , ' The democratic press have been finding fault with President Grant for assisting his relatives ever since his inauguration, until he refused to help his brother-in-law, Judge I>E.<r, become Governor of .Mi.-.'-i'.'ippi, and now they abuse him for refusing. Mr. and .Mrs. Keigwin, spiritual mediums, repel the insinuations pubJidied in the Indianapolis Journal a few days ago to the effect that their “spiritual correspondence” was all a humbug, by going before a notary public and swearing that it wan t so. The citizens of Newton county are having a lively time over the proposition to change the county seat from Kentland to Beaver City. The petition for the change will be presented to the Board of Commissioners at the September term, at which time it will, we suppose, be settled one way or other. At present chances are about equal. The Kentland Gazette says: “Mr. Harvey Boner, of Beaver Prairie, tells us that he has a large field of corn that promises a yield of thirty or forty bushels per acre. That is pretty good, considering the wet -season.” We have some fields in this county that will beat that, twenty bushels to the acre. —'

The Fall Trade and Advertising.

Harvest is over and farmers arc already moving the surplus of their immense crops to market. The promise of an active trade the coming fall is most encouraging, and business men have a right to, and may reasonably expect a very decided improvement in the trade. It is the enterprising, wide-awake man who casts about him for all the addvantages outside of his stock, for the sale of his goods and his wares, and long ago it was settled that the best agency to this end is ADVERTISING. The present is the proper time to commence advertising for the fall trade. Few merchants' desire to carry over summer goods to another season, and least of all, this year.— They are all anxious to dose out their summer stocks before the fall season is fairly inaugurated. To do this speedily and effectually, let them advertise judiciously and liberally. They will find upon trial that it will pay them, and pay them large profits. People look to the newspapers for direction in matters of trade fully as much as they look to them for news. The wise man in business will therefore avail himsplf of the advantages the newspaper advertisement affords. It is a false theory that it does not pay to advertise when trake is slack. The Advertiser's Gazette, the highest authority in the United States on advertising says, “it may be laid down as an indisputable fact, that if In good times it is necessary to advertise to secure business, in dull times it is all the more so. And why? Simply because the fact of advertising at all is proof conclusive that such a course will and docs bring busiiess: hence the more one patronizes th press the greater will be his revenues, and the more certain, his success.~Many men are dependent entirely upon advertising for success. Suppose they were to refuse to advertise at all? ‘Dull times’ would be the inevitable result, and no one would wonder at their failure.” —<Sou/A Bend Register. .

Surveying the I. D. & C. Railroad.

From a letter received from Judge Schermerhorn, by Messrs. Spears, Case & Co., dated August Bth, four miles north west ol Lebanon, Boone county, we are permitted to make the following extracts: “We have been making such slow progress that I have not reported as I had expected to do. We are twenty-four and a half miles from Indianapolis, and about sixteen and a half from Frankfort. The country we are passing through now is low and wet, and we can make but slow progress; after we get five miles ahead, we will be able to make three miles a day.

We readied Whitestown in eighteen miles and four hundred and eighty-six feet—being ever two and a half miles shorter than the Lafayette road to that, point. We will be at Frankfort next Friday or Saturday. Our route is a good one and perfectly straight, so far, from the ■ city. The people here will generally give the right of way, although occasionally I find some who, utterly refuse. An election has been ordered in i Marion county on the 13th of Sep-i tember, for a tax of three-fourths of' one npr cent, which will raise l t 380,000. We will have the merchants and manufacturers all in our favor,” etc

I Since receiving Judge Schermei'i horn’s letter, we had a conversation ■ with Mr. I’nline/fbT the *la«‘ firm !of Palmer <fc Morrison, of Ftxink- ! fort, who informs us that Clinton i will not be found w anting, in pro--1 tiding her futl share in mdiiey ami right of way tor the building of the road through the canty — J'/tucs.

More New Postage Stamps.

Our complaint of the inKrioi' quality of mucilage on the present issue of postage stamps finds justification in a recent occurrence. A few days since agentlff'iutn received official notice from the Dead Letter Bur< nu of tlicPostofficc Department at Washington, that a letter addressed to him had reached that bureau, and WQitld be forwarded to his address on the receipt of three cents. Upon receiving the letter lie found that a stamp had been affixed to it, but of such limited adhesiva quality that it came off. Hence all this fuss. It should be added that the letter was mailed at an up-town postoffice station in thiscity, and had to go no further’ than. to the General Postoffice in Nassau street. Will Mr. Creswell not give us sonic better stamps.— A etc York World. There is no doubt but the now postage stamps are a nuisance. The old issues were far superior everv way, and no reason, other than Postmaster General Randall’s assistants s.jid they were tired of seeing the old stamps, has ever been given for changing them. Since M Creswell assumed charge of the Postoffice Department he has decided to make another change, and Third Assistant Postmaster G< i>.c • <■ Terrell has received numerous designs from which the selections are to be made. There is nothing appropriate in having a locomotive (an English invention), on the three cent stamps, or a post boy on the two cents. The old system of heads is to be restored. That of Lincoln will be upon the cent, Frankliif on the two cents, and Washington on the three cents, as heretofore—only the design is beter and more pleasing. The bad qualities of the mucilage on the present stamps causes frequent delays and occasionally great inconvenience.— Jud. Journal.

The Comet.

For ten years past astronomers have told us that during the months of July, August'Slid September, in this year, the most wonderful comet the world has ever known would reappear. This comet is on time. It is now to be seen with the naked eye, any clear night, in the northern part of the heavens, between eleven and twelve o’clock, and from that time until the morning star rises. Astronomers assure us that this comet will approach nearer the earth than any comet ever did before, and that either the earth or the comet will have to change its course, or a collision is inevitable. This comet is said to be many thousand times larger than the earth. It is a solid mass of fire, with a tail of fire that would reach around the earth more than a hundred times, and a collision with our planet is not an event lobe very earnestly desired. —A r eei Albany Commercial.

INDIANA MATTERS.

Evansville employs colored teachers lor the colored schools. The trial of Abrams, for the murof Jacob Young and wile, is set for the 31>t. It is said that the crops in the middle and southern parts of the State are suffering from drouth. Whooping cough is said to be prevailing to a great! extent and rapidly spreading at Indianapolis. Dr. Max F. A. Hoffman,-the State Treasurer, is preparing an elaborate report of the resources and wealth of Indiana. The horse fair to be held at Chalmers Station. in White county, has been postponed until the 15th and Ifitli of October. The colored people of Indianpolis protest against the action of the School Board in appointing white teachers for the colored schools. Rev. Thomas B. Wood, A. M., late President of the Valparaiso, Indiana College, is about td sail as a missionary to Buenos Avres. • • Many fa fine rs_ of Pulton' county will be compelled t 'fatten their hogs this season wit): wheat, the corn crop being almost a Jvtal failure in some localities. * . i- . ■ The Fort Wayne Democrat of last Saturday says: “New wheat is coming in rapidly. One dollar and tw enty-srx'cents was offered for a good article of red wheat this morning.” \

Rev,. Henry Ward Beecher was the pastor.of the Second Presbyterian Church at Indianapolis, on the west side of the Circle which is now used as a city school house, twenty-five years ago, The Indianapols Sentinel says: “Noah Harding, a farmer in the neighborhood of Mt. Jackson, Wayne township, garnered this year | from off four acres of ground, one I hundred and seventy-two bushels of English wheat. Beat it, who can.” ; There are 75 soldiers in the Home at Knightstown,, aud 17+ soldier’s orphans in the Orphans Home at the same place. Under the resolution of the last Legislature, pro-* viding for the transfer of soldiers to the Daytpn home, not more than two or three have been taken there, the soldiers refusing to leave the State.

Quite a serious adeident occurred just northwest of town, last Mon--day forenoon.

Mr. Laws’; boy was pretty well peppered, be-1 ing shot in the face, arm and chest, ; and it is a happy escape for him I that he did not loose one of his eyes. The son of Mr. Granger was shot in the arm, body and legs. They managed to make their way back to town, when the shot was . extracted by Dr. Higgins. Hunters should look well before they shoot, and little boys should look well that they do not get in a position to receive shot intended for birds ot an entirely different plumage. — Crown Point .Register.
