Removal of the National Capital.

THa question of removing tlt«i national capital from Washington is being vigorously agitated by the leading newspapers of the North* western States. A convention of those interested in the matter has been called to meet at St. Louis on the 20th of October to unite on aoinc plan of action nnd arrange the preliminaries. Several cities have already put in bids for the honor of becoming .the depository of the nation's archives, but none of the claims set up have, in our opinion been superior to those possessed by our own thriving town. Rensselaer is beautifully located, is a central point, lias plenty of room to expand, there are half a doxen fine springs of both white and blue sulphur water, and the town parental relatives are talking of boring an artesian well with a fine prospect of striking whiskey, indications of which crop out -it various places in the vicinity.— With plenty of fine water and a good flowing well of fortyrod our claims, advantages ami inducements arc quite beyond rivalry.— Let the town council go to work at once boring for artesian whiskey that it may he found before the 20th of October, and then with a proper advocate to urge our claims there is no question as to the result.

The Kankakee Talley Draining Co.

The Kankakee Valley Draining Co. have been assessing the benefits and damages to land in the northern part of this county, and we hear have come to a hitch on account (astonishing!) of the holiest opinions of some of the assessors. We are told that the company expects from two to three dollars per acre benefits to accrue to it from some forty to sixty thonsand acres of land in this county, at a cost to the company of a few ditches at a trifling expense. We hear there is considerable feeling on the subject in the northern part of the county, and it reports, are true we are not surprised ut it.— Ktntland Gazette. There is something very suspicions in the late movements of the company referred to by our Newton county contemporary. From what information we have been able to secure it appears those who manage the organization m ere not satisfied with the assessments of the benefits to the lands affected by the proposed work on the Kankakee river made by their board of appraisers, and so inan.pulated matters as to have them all tender their resignations. It is currently reported this was done with the secret understanding that only certain parties should be effected.— Mr. Sravi.Dixo's resignation was accepted. Mr. Sivit'LDiNG is a resident of Jasper county and is widely known as a man whose honesty is beyond suspicion, with mature judgment and as practical knowledge, of the benefits of draining to real estate as any man in the country. Why thisgetitleraan should have been run oat, if the motives of those controlling the organization are honorable, it is difficult to conceive. We do not know positively that any swindle or unlawful speculation is intended hy those composing the company, and everything may be right and straight forward, recent conduct excites suspicion and it would he well for those interested to keep ou their guards - —-

The surveyors for the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad have run one line through from Indianapolis to Delphi and have now gone back to the former place—one report says to commence running a second line—another has it to wait until after the vote is taken in Marion and Clinton counties upon‘the question of'an appropriation for its benefit.

Jasper County.

Wc extract the following from a letter of a correspondent of the Kdinbnrg Watchman, who has been taking a trip through jasper and Newton counties. “Having just returned from a tour through Northern Indiana, I wish to state throgh your columns, that I stopped in the town of Rensselaer, the county seat of Jasper county, and will say that the eouutry finest in the State for stock growing.

Farming land can be had at S2O to S3O per acre, with good improvements. ritoek-growers would do well to visit Jasjier and Newton comities before purchasing stock farms. Tim county-seat of Ja*|»cr is n beautiful toivu of otic thousand inhabitants, situated.on the Iroquois river, a beautiful stream with a limestone bed, affording splendid waterpower. Ithas a very respectable court house, four yhurchc* of respectability, one school of throe hundred scholars, and two hotels. Thy Austin House, near the bridge it a first pbrsh hotel. Mr. Austin ami lady are always on hand and ready to make the weury traveler comfortable. I ain sorry to any there is one saloon, but judge from observation that the proprietor haa no income tax to pay. They have no jail; trust they have no use for one. There is also connected with the Austin House a splendid livery accommodation, by Mr. Duvall; one band, one oil mill one thousand feel deep, oil played out. 1 also took an excursion out to Heaver Lake ami saw plenty of marsh, but not much lake—got very hungry; excursionist had to foot the bill; then got back to Pilot Grove about 1 l,r. x.: saw a big snake and got a few rattles, but did not see any elk. Sportsmen will do well to give Bea ver a call, as little Samuel is there to make them comfortable, and the girla are as jolly as birds.”

The Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago Railroad.

Kvcry new project for a railroad which presents a semblance of being a necessity, that is suggested by capatalisls now a days, is eagerly hailed by the people, and its construction ordered forthwith. No one will deny that the new route proposed between our city and Chicago will prove a desirable one, passing as it does, through an undeveloped region of country, rich in fertility, and possessing magnificent and highly cultivated farms, earnestly demanding an outlet for their immense pioducts, and proving some thirty miles shorter than any route now in operation. Nearly every county through which the projected road will pass has voted for taxation; a lew counties, and but a few, who have not been educated Up to the proper standard of what constitutes a live county and live people, exhibit a lethargy worthy of the enterprise and exalted notions possessed by onr pilgrim fathers, look upon the design as rather chimerical. The decision of our County commissioners is looked for with great interest. If their verdict is favorable, we may look for the construction of the road av a fixed tact, and that its completion will be speedily attained no ono will doubt. The farmers along the contemplated line of road, cheerfully sign the right of way, with now and then ail exception, which is quite natural, and but one or two eouuties will object, no doubt, so wo may safely congratulate ourselves that another link ill the great chain of roads binding us with the powerful west will have been made, and ours the benefit—uulcss all these line prospects should become destroyed and rendered of no avail by the administration of too much “Schermorliorn.” *** —lndianapolis Mirror.

Monroe county may talk about her big men, but we think Lawrence county can take the premium on large babies. There is a baby in Indian Creek Township," throe months old, which weighs twentylive pounds nett; and one iii Perry township, eighteen months old, that weighs forty-two and a halt pounds nett. How is that for bigucss?—Bedford. Independent. The New Albany Commercial says; “Our peach growers are making it pay this year. Hundreds of bushels of peaches have been shipped from this county the present season, and the first of the crop went off readily at five and six dollars per bushel. Prices have declined tne present week considerably, and now range from one dollar to one dollar and a half }»er busiiel. The shipments of peaches and pears from this city to Chicago and ludianapolis daily amounts to three or four hundred bushels.

On Monday last, a littlo three year old daughter of Dr. S. H. Collins, living on the corner of 3d and F. streets, fell from a second story window. The ground nuder the window was almost entirely covered with broken brick, but strange to sav the cltild receivod no visible injury, not even the smallest scratch, and in a few minutes was soundly sleeping. The little girl was playing up stairs, and hearing her scream a mother’s instinct caused Mrs. C. to run to the window, where she found the child walking to the door, badly frightened, but otherwise entirely uninjured. —Laporte Argus. - . Grand Secretary E. 11. Barry was notified late last evening that Rev. S. L. Adams, M. W. Grand Master of the Grand lodge, I. O. O.

Grand Master Adams has been suffering some time with pulmonary affection, and his life has been for a few months very precarious, but his death, so soon, was not expected. His residence was atNorth Salem, and he was on a visit to Danville, where his disease assumed a malignant form, and hastened his death.— Lid. Journal of Auyust'JUh

REMINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. A CHAPTER OF CALAMITIES.

Particular* ts the Drowaing of Urn Curry lira (hers l»eath of Mr. Uppranl’M Ituiiglitcr from a Coal Oil Explonlon.— Man and Team Killed by Lightning. Remington, Aim;.'l7, l*tifl. Kns. Union: Pear Sire: Our quiet village was startled yesterday evening by a telegram from Lognnsport announcing that James and Edward Curry, two brothers, (also brothers of Mr. K. My Curry, formerly of your place) were drowned in the canal near that city. This intelligence struck every one with a feeling of sadness which was plainly visible on each countenance as the news was communicated to them, for the boys had lived here a long time. James, who was Mind, had been here on a visit last week and went back only the day before.

The bodies were brought down on the 10 o’clock train, bnt a freight train being ofT the track two miles east of here, the citizens went out with teams and brought in tho remains and friends, conveying them to the" church, where the funeral service* were held. At the close of a very appropriate sermon by Rev. Mr. Levi Hughs the coffins were opened and the friends took a last look at the remains of the unfortunates. The scene at this time was most heart-rending. The poor mother’s sobs and cries as she wept over her dead boys touched the hearts of even the most careless, strong men wept as children and there were but few tearless eyes in the house. When we remember it has been but little more than a year since Mrs. Curry was called to follow her husband to the grave we can’not fail to sympathise with herself and family in their terrible afflictions. The boy* were buried in the grave by the side of their father.

Hut little is know of the circumstances connected with theirdrowning, no one being present but a little boy too young to give much information concerning tbe accident, but from what we can learn the boys were bathing together in the canal when James stepped into a hole which was too deep for him and EdwnrtLgoing to his assistance both went down together. Few boys of Edward’s age would have attempted what he did —he tried to save the life of his poor bliud brother and became a martyr to fraternal affection. August 20th.—You will remember publishing an account of the burning of Mr. 11. C. Lipprant's little daughter on the 4th of List month by the explosion of a can of -goal oil uiriftrkindHiig a/fire ~witlr its contents —the poor/child died last night after six wfceks of terrible suffering. She will be buried to-day. August 21st.—Mr. Joseph Spangler, who lived about two miles north of this place, was this afternoon struck hy lightning and instantly killed. **• lie was stacking oats, and at the time was on a load pitching off to Isaac Blake and Wiley Irwin, both of whom were knocked down by the shock. Both horses were killed with the same shock. Mr. Spangler leaves a wife and live daughters. He was generally beloved by his neighbors. L-

Water Grass.

Editors U.vio.ni We wish to call the attention of the people to the Water Grass. Some people know it, others do not. Let those who do not, enquire of those who do, that all may know a most valuable grass. It is very sweet and nutritious, and makes most valuable hay. Horses, I know relish it, and feed on it greedily. As it is supposed, the common wild grasses—buck’grass, blue grass, Ac. —are much injured by continued raius, consequently there will be a deficiency in wild hay. It strikes me that the people can in a great measure remedy this defect by looking out in time, and taking care of this richer, and this year more abundant grass. This grass may have some weighty botanio name, (I have not looked for it,) but it is fitly called Water Grass, because it grows only on very low ground, or in wet seasons. The presumption is, the seed, which is abundant, lies, in the ground during all dry seasons, then when a wet one comes, like the present, it gets sufficiently soaked to sprout, and we find it oil most plowed lands, where the water lies most of the time. Look in your wheat, oats and corn fields, where these grjigs could not grow and you'

will b« apt to find it. It looks some like broom corn or sorghum, the tassel beuring tho seed, though it seems to stool or send forth a number of stalks from the same root. In favorable places it will yield a heavy crop, though it will be a little difficult to | cure on account of t’.ie size of the stalk, and the continued rains. But the rains may cease in time to save it as it is just now in blossom. It is suggested to my mind that this grass may he cultivated on wet lands every year, by collecting the seed in the fall and soaking it in the spring for weeks before sowing. I hope a number of persons will assist me in experimenting with this seed, to see if we may not make it a most valuable discovery. On a piece of wet ground I planted late corn; as it mainly drowned out I sowed II ungariuii grass; the rains continuing, it too, mainly perished, and now to my great graification I tipd Providence, who always shows a good head to the faithful laborer, is filling up missing places with a luxurient growth of Water Grass, eo between them all, I expect to get a fair yield of the best grasses. Corn, I believe, is classed with the grasses, and cut young and cured, makes an excellent hay. S. W. Ritchey.

Delinquent Taxes.

Euitoks of the Union: The amount of taxes in Jasper county for 1868 and previous years remaining unpaid is over seventeen thousand dollars. Some of this delinquent tax stands against nonresident land-owners. Where such is the case payment will be enforced by sale of land on the first Monday of February next. — The penalty and interest allowed purchasers of lauds at tax sales will insure the collection of taxes against such persons. But where the delinquent tax stands against resident land-owners, its collection becomes more difficult. Lands can not be sold for taxes while there is personal property within the county. The personal property must be sold and exhausted before sale can be made of the land. And here is the difficulty. Property can not he sold without purchasers. Through a squeamish delicacy on the part of citizens to purchase their neighbor’s personal property at tax sale, such property seldom sells at these sales. The treasurer is discouraged and rarely afterwards attempts the collection of taxes in this way. Hence, many of these resident delinquents go along year after year and never pay their taxes until an« opportunity is presented to sell their land, when they arc induced to pay to satisfy the purchaser that the land is free of incumbrance.

This delay in paying taxes-makes the burdens of gov eminent fa 11 ihe more heavily upon those who pay their taxes promptly, and is an imposition that the honest and prompt tax-payers should not tolerate. — The remedy is with them and they can correct the evil. AN hen the treasurer advertises the property us their delinquent neighbor for sale to pay taxes, let them attend the sale and buy the property. — This will encourage the treasurer and have the wholesome effect to induce the payment of taxes, for when it is known that they must and will be collected, payment will be made to avoid the costs of sale and the sacrifice of property. It is important that the delinquent list be settled this year. It can be done better this year than next, when, besides our ordinary' taxes, we will have to pay the levy for the railroad. Our treasurer intends, it possible, to enforce the payment of the delinquent tax during the present season. He should have the assistance of all who do not permit their taxes to become delinquent. If the delinquent tax is paid this year, next year the levy for county purposes, will be much less than it will be if such delinquent tax then remains unpaid.

The payment of taxes is properly regarded as a burden which should be borne by all according to their means. There is no reasqn why one man should be required to pay another’s tax. This ho does, indirectly at least, when he pays his own tax and his neighbor does noL pay his. But, as before stated, the remedy, ample and complete, is with 'him. If he pays his neighbor’s tax, let him have vahio received in the way of a horse or a cow purchased at tax sale. This is my advice, and, if followed, I am assured that, in some localities at least, the delinquent list will rapidly disappear. * Taxpayer. # . —-<r- ••• eDucks are said to be plenty along the Kankakee river, and its tributaries, and sportsjineu are haying fine fun.
