Political.

TM year 1870, which is fart approteDbfitg, brings another political ewaapaigu io th* State of Indiana. Thepe p to be rteoted for state officers, oM secretary of state, one treasurer of state, one auditor of state, one attorney general, and wav superintendent of public instruoiioQ. 1* the eleventh congressional district, composed of the counties of St. Joseph, Marshall, Laporte, Lake, Porter, Stark, Fulton, Pulaski, White, Newton and Jasper there la one representative in the United States congress to be elected. In the It. th judicial circuit, composed of the counties ofTippocanoe, White, Newton and Jasper there is to be elected one judge of the circuit court and one circuit prosecutor. There is one state senator to be elected from While, Jasper and Newton conntics. One representative to the general assembly of Indiana is to be elected from the counties of Pulaski, Jasper and Newton. In Jasper county there is to be elected one clerk, one auditor, one treasurer, one sheriff, one surveyor, three county commissioners and all the township officers. The democratic state convention for the nomination of a state ticket is appointed to be held at Indianapolis on the Bth of January, 1870; the republican state convention is to be held there on the 2fd of February next Tbs republican state convention js to be composed of delegates from the several counties, at the rate of one delegate for each one hundred votes, and one delegate for each {ruction of a hundred over fifty, cast for secretary of state in 1868. This entitles Jasper county to eight rotes ip the convention, she having polled 753 votes for Secretary Hoffman.

Treasurer of State.

By reference to another article in the Uinox of this issue it will be seen that the Republican Central Committee of our State have decided to call a delegate convention at Indianapolis, on the 22d of next February, for the purpose of nominating a State ticket for the campaign of 1870. Among the officers to bo elected next fall is a State Treasurer. The present efficient incumbent, Gen. N#haa Kimball, is now serving his second term and is not eligible to re-election. As yet, we have seen no one mentioned to fill the vacancy and do not know who will be candidates. We think, however, the convention could not do better than to nominate Gen. Robert 11. Milroy, of Carroll comity, for that position. His services during the war were distinguished by bravery, efficiency and faithfulness. He is well known to the people of the State as an intelligent, high minded and moral citizen. In his private life he is modest, generous, temperate agd honest. No man in Northern Indian* w more popular among the people, and no one is more esteempd by his old comradesin arms. As a recognition of past services to the party, and as a measure of policy, we, in common with his large eircle of personal and political friends, would rejoice in his nomination. being confident that his name would add strength to the ticket, and his election secure an honest and economical officer.

What is the Text?

Tkfi “Society of Progressive Spiritualists of Rensselaer*’ publish each week the names of their speakers and t£e subjects to be discussed together with an invitation for publie Could Ttot .other denominations benefit themselves, and at the same time accommodate the public by adopting the same plan? We publish sll religious notices without charge, believing they are matters of interest to a large portion of our readers. It is not unfrequpntly the case that people are interested in the investigation of a particular religious question, and a notice that it will .be discussed would induce them to attend church, where, under other /cvcnmatances, they would not lesve jboirfe—joy their offices. infper county is a stock raising <?? on^ r » ft perhaps better adapted to tsis business than any other. Nearfr every man in the county keeps more p? fess stock about him .—-either cattic, tyqrqgs, hogs or sheep—and raspy hav« all kinds.— It is for the interest of these persons whether Ihfagoft farms fir in town to understand tjbo beat and roost profitable maqipr pf keeping stock. The American Stock Journal . should be in the hands of SJI theye ■ -r ..... ’ ■

persons, because it is devoted to the business of stock raising, breeding, etc., and contains many valuable hints in relation thereto. All subscribers to the Rbxsuklakß fTxlox (old or new) who shall pay the regular subscription price, two dollars, in money, before the first day of January, 1870, will receive the Jmsrica* Stock Journal one year /res. In view of the fashion of Regimental, Corps and Army reunions, so prevalent of late throughout the country a friend at our elbow, who is a prominent democrat—what old Peter Keiser, of Ft Wayne, would call “one of the ginoowinc venerial kind”—suggests there be be a reunion, in ' this place, of the surviving Dodd-raiders, Idahorangers, and Canada-bnmmers. Also that Ingram, of the Winamac Democrat bo invited to deliver the oration, after Spottswood, of the Kentland Democrat, has passed around the sacramental whiskey.— The latter gentleman, it is hoped, will bring with him the identical carpet-bag he toted when he ran away from the draft

The Rensselaer Public Schools.

A valued friend of ours, who takes a lively interest in the subject of popular education has furnished us a communication concerning the public schools of this place. The article is too long for our columns, crowded as they are this week by other matter and we have made use of editorial prerogative to condense it leaving out such paragraphs as are not strictly of local interest. “On last Friday a portion of the patrons of the Rensselaer free school paid an informal visit to the several rooms. We saw far more that was worthy of commendation with the pupils than was subject of faultfinding. Many of them read little essays, brimful of native thought and grace, which would do credit to children of largergrowth. The littlegirls showed more pluck and did better work in the literary exercises than the little boys. When we were a little boy, we never could brook the idea that a girl could write, read or declaim better than we. Boys, take courage I you can do better if you will. Do not permit girls to prow over you. “We think our schools are well managed-at least as well as the patrons deserve. “We need a protracted revival of educational interest. “The teachers seem to be trying to do their best, and if people will only visit, encourage ana properly assist them, our town will be blessed with good schools. “The Primary room is notsufflciently provided with recitation benches, but in all the rooms there is space enough to comfortably seat all the pupils. “We wish our schools a happy and prosperous term and shall be pleased to visit them as opportunity offers.” By way of introduction to his article, our friend wisely remarks: “Parents and teachers should often take counsel with reference to the welfare of the pupils. Teachers should visit parents and pupils at their homes. Parents should visit teachers and children at school. Teachers need the uplifting power of their patrons’ expressed good-will. Nothing so cheers up the desponding teacher as to see the faces of his employers beaming with a glow of interest as they are spectators of his labors.

“Parents are often ignorant of the slang words and fungus attributes of mind which are engrafted upon children by their early training and which the teacher has to combat. These morbid growths are sometimes so firmly set in the child's habits that they cannot be torn away without leaving ugly scars. The fact is, this vulgar slang has a hard-hitting vigor which, in intenseness and wit, is more than a match for scholastic phrases.— Much of the work of the schools is to polish the rough savagery of street language. The pupils should write more and they can then know the graces of purer and prettier words.— Parents could be an invaluable auxiliary to the teacher in the work of preventing chronic vulgarity. The tendency of American diplomacy is to bring all things to a management of equality. Then it becomes parents and teachers to see that the low and vulgar are leveled up to a higher mental and social plane. If parents neglect their children and trust their education to free agents, what need they expect but that unmannerly and unfriendly habits will be formed by the neglected ones?”

The town has a pretty location and rests easy under its charter of incorporation. The people are stirring spirits—full of vim and radical notions. The town officers bear their honors with meekness, and appear with the common herd on week days. We were there for a day or two and was a guest of the Nagle House, a well ordered hotel. On Sunday we put ourself upon our good behavior and attended Gospel school five times. The Sabbath schools were ably conducted and well attended. The current of menial commerce shows a net balance in favor of that charity which begins at home. The theme of general comment seemed to be the exhibition at the close of the select school. The orchestra received nniversal commendation. We listened to a fragment thereof at a sweet home circle and it soothed our mind, made savage by exposure to weather that would disgrace any comnfunity. Another topic of discussion is anti-saloonism. We understand the license-phobists have organized open war. Their motives are in accord with our sympathies. But we think temperate meaqs would better promote temperance ends. We think well of our railroad sister and Irish her full measure of prosperity. • ■ x,

We are indebted to Judge Wm, C. Hannah, of Laporte, President of the Kankakee Valley Draining Company for a copy of the “Proepectus and Article! of Association of the Kankakee Valley Draining Co., of Indiana.” JB taL & An exchange says, “Joseph Smollett, of Jasper county, Indiana, went to Chicago the other day to bo treated for a mild case of tapeworm. He waa relieved of only aeventy-two feet and six inches of that horrible vermicular monstrosity.” Joe don’t live in this Jasper.— There never was such a wormy man in the county.

From the Hot Springs (Ark.) Courier, of Nov. 18th, we learn the following in relation to a former resident of Jasper county: “The Little Rock Republican of October 26th, says: ‘The friends of Mr. D. C. Casey were agreeably surprised yesterday on receiving invitations to visit the Presbyteri an church in the evening, to witness a marriage ceremony. On the cards were printed the names of David C. Casey and Miss Dutie F. Getman. It was a pleasant affair? ” At the meeting at Rochester on the 30th nlu, a company was organized to build g railroad from Ft Wayne via Liberty Milla, Rochester and Rensselaer to the State line.— Organizations are now perfected from Omaha to the east line of Ohio, and it is expected that propositions will soon be made by parties having the stamps to build the entire lino. R. 8. Dwiggins is Pres., Wm. Ashton, Vice Pres., and I. M. Stackhouse, Sec., of the Indiana Full particulars next week. The Delphi TVmex says: The most encouraging news has been received from Indianapolis, from parties there, stating that Marion county will come up to all the moneyed requirements for the building of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad. Propositions have also been made by good and responsible railroad companies to consolidate our road with theirs, whereby a clear right of way through Illinois and the depot grounds in Chicago would be secured. This news is truly encouraging, and places the construction of the road, at an early day, beyond a doubt Let our citizens be of good cheer, for the day of our prosperity as a city is dawning. This news will certainly be pleasing to our neighbors of the Star City.

Senator Daniel Pratt started for Washington on last Thursday. The Indianapolis Journal, of last week, bragged somewhat over the price paid for a pair steers in that county—being 8190. We can knock that persimmon with a Delaware pole easy. Mr. Volney Wil; son, of this city, sold recently a pair of steers which came to a trifle over $230 by weight.— Muncie Times.

Some years since a poor but talented gentleman of the medical profession conceived the idea that if he could produce a medicine of universal application and extraordinary merit, and make it known he could not only enrich himself and escape the drudgery of a Physician’s life, but also benefit the sick iu a greater measure than by his private practice- He therefore consulted with the best Physicians he could find and the result was the production of the Judson’s Mountain Herb Pills, a famous and most successful medicine. He began in a small way to make the Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them and such was the value of his Pills, that in a few years he had hoi only amassed a fortune but had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of having relieved the sick, and benefited his fellow men in every part of the country, as thousands of grateful testimonials could prove. The Judson’s Mountain Herb Pills havfi cured Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, and all Billions disorders. This little sketch serves both to adorn a tale and point a moral. Dr. Judson’s Pills were meritorious and the doctor himself knew the value of printers ink.— For sale by all dealers. 10-4 w

Robagk—Dear Sir:— My wife has been affected for many vests with Palpitation of the heaft, I have employed several Physicians, who have given her but little relief. In the winter of 1858-’59, I purchased two bottles of your Blood Purifier and one box of your Blood Pills, which I concluded to try as an experiment lam happy to inform you that she is well, indeed for the two dollars and twenty-five cents thus expended, better and more lasting effects have been produced than by the hundreds of dolars previously expended for medical service.

A letter from Wisconsin, to be found in our advertising columns, announce that among the physicians of the locality it is becoming very popular, and what is very unusual, is being adopted by them in their practice, as a cure for many diseases which they can not treat effectually in any other way.
