The Gama of Bluff-How it Will Operate.

* * * * “We shall not support a bolt *r. We shall not oppose a nomi ice of the party. Both tnese utterances are true. The Ftrfeffc will not oppose Mr. Wolcott, it he is the nominee of the convention. But if the Republican party should nominate Auson Wolcott for Congress after the odious record he made in the State Senate, we are free to say liis nomination will not be binding upon any Republican, for if he is free to boil for reasons satisfactory to himself, and thereafter remain in good standing in the party, every oilier member of the party haff the same right. From the moment that the Republican e party shall, by the nomination oT Anson Wolcott, say that nominations do not bind members of the party, from that moment all Republicans will have a precedent for refusing to vote for the nominee, and if any man objects, tfie ready and conclusive answer will be, ‘The custom of the Republican party is to reward bolters with the highest office in the reach of this district.’ “In Mr. Wolcott’s case men will make swift use of the precedent, and he will find that ‘curses, like chickens, come home to roost.’ We desire the success of the Republican party. We deprecate the nomination of Anson Wolcott, and sincerely hope that the people of this district will be wise enough to heed in time the warning that we give them against committing hari tarsi'or as certain as Anson Wolcott shall be nominated, so certain w ill this district pass into the hands of the Democracy, and it ought to.” — Valparaiso Vidette. Here is an opportunity for the good offices of the Winamac Republican and the Kentland Gazette, and we shall expect to see our neighbors after Brother Gurney with a sharp stick. With a solitary exception—the Laporte Herald— we know of no paper north of the Kankakee river willing to concede that a man south of that line shall represent this district in congressr. —They have furnished us in candidates for the last sixteen or eighteen years and we have as regularly furnished them with majorities. They seem to think that holding office is their birthright, and that our votes are their legitimate tribute. One other idea: If bluff is the game the Barnstabbers propose trying in the convention let them chalk this fact down on their slates, if they can stand to be represented in congress by a democrat we can, and if they propose to bolt Hon. Anson Wolcott, or any othet; man from this side of the Kankakee who may be strong enough to receive the nomination in the convention, they will find their own candidates having a lively time to secure an election. \

A Dupe of Knaves.

“We think it would be no more than courtesy due to C. G. Powell, of the Laporte Herald, for those papers in the Eleventh District in which Packard’s letter has been published, to also publish Mr. Powell’s reply to the same, as Packard’s letter does Powell great injustice. Packard, as well as his friends, were evidently laboring under a misapprehension of the facts in the case.”— Kendallville Standard. After hearing both sides of the ease we are of the opinion that General Packard has been the dupe of knaves and is the victim of a trick. It seems that immediately after he was elected to congress, he was besieged by a coterie who had determined to bring about a breach between him and Mr. Powell.— They knew that Powell had been a warm personal friend; that he had labored earnestly to secure his nomination and election, and that he would probably be appointed to some valuable office in return for his friendship. This they determined to prevent, and, if possible, secure these favors to themselves. They knew that the General possessed a large stock of personal vanity and prided himself upon being a “selfmade man,” and determined to make this weakness their point of attack. First one and then another whispered ip his ear that Powell was boasting an undue influence over him—tjiat he intended to control General’s appointments —that llti f.lfllffled tp have ‘‘inveatedGsi*

that he would compel Packard to 1 give him the best office in his 'district—that if Packard did not tender him this oflice without hi# (Powell’s) application as an evidence of his (Packard’s) gratitude that ho would “(urn the batteries of the Herald upon him,’’ etc. Instead of visiting Mr. Powell and ascertaining whether these reports were founded in fact, General Packard fell into the snare laid for him and became the tool of these designing men, Feeling his pride wounded he wrote the silly and malignant Belford letter. To show that lie was independent and could not be controlled he appointed Mr. Powell’s maligners to the offices they wan'cd. A man who can be so easily duped is not calculated to be a successful party leader.

State Fair.

We have just received from Mr. Joseph Poole, secretary of the State board of agriculture, the advertisement of the eighteenth annual fair of the State of Indiana, from which we epitomise the following: The fair will be held in the city of Indianapolis, commencing on Monday the 3d day of October, .1870, and continuing the entire week. The preinhtm list is large and amounts in cash, medals ami diplomas, to about $15,000. It is intended to represent and develop the agricultural, mechanical, horticultural and manufacturing interests of Indiana, and with the geological department recently attached, to bring lortk the vast mineral resources of every county. An earnest invitation is extended to all stock raisers, agriculturists, horticulturists, florists, artists, manufacturers, mechanics, inventors, and owners of valuable and meritorious articles, to be present with their specialities and assist in making the fair a sueccss, Among the premiums offered is S2OO for the best five acres of wheat, $l5O for the second best, SIOO for the third best; SIOO for the best five acres of corn, $75 for the second best, SSO for the third best, and for the best acre of corn raised by a boy under 10 years of age S2O. Any inquiry or information desired will receive prompt attention from the secretary.

Eleventh Congressional District.

“We have no desire to interfere with Congressional matters of other Districts, but we cannot refrain from an expression of regret that General Packard, the Representative of the Eleventh District, has been unjustly assailed by a few disappointed office-seekers, upon whom he could not bestow favors. The people are on his side, for' he has stood by them faithfully and fearlessly upon all -questions affecting their interests, lie is not constantly making speeches, but when he has spoken lie commanded the attention of the House and its respect. His upon several important subjects are able and logical. He is an honest man, a faithful Representative, and has been a gallant soldier, and if his constituents return him to the House next October, they will honor themselves more than they will honor him.”— Lafayette Courier. The editors of the Courier will do well to heal their own sickness before prescribing for their neighbors. Tippecanoe county is shaken with dissention and there are three or four candidates for congressional nomination in that district, since Mr. Orth was compelled to decline the contest. Such fulsome laudations have the flavor of corruption and it would not surprise us in the least if a small portion of the money sent to General Packard by the State central committee for campaign purposes, two years ago, was used to pay for this very puff.

Commenting upon the attempt of the Washington Chronicle to '“read out” of the party such staunch republicans as Trumbull, Conkliiig, Ferry, Carpenter and Schurz, the Indianapolis Journal very sensibly says, “ ‘Reading out’ is a dodge of the Inquisition. Ignatus Loyola has passed away, and in his stead has arisen the genius of liberty of judgment and freedom of action” The Valparaiso Vidette and other papers in Indiana that have been trying the experiment of “reading out” Hou. Anson Wolcott together with his colleagues of the Assembly who saw fit to vote against Mr. Cumback for United States Senator, will be wise if they turn their attention to the more profitable labor of preserving harmony and increasing the strength of the party for the approaching contest In our gamble opinion with a majority that was reduced to less than one thousand two years ago, it will not Qmir-t nut” many men like

The Barnstabburs of this district are becoming desperate in their attempts to secure the renomination of their favorite. They do not scruple to make any statement concerning the situation however barren il may bTf of-truth. Malignant reports are set afloat against those who dare aspire to contest the nomination with General Packard, ami papers are suborned in different parts of the Slate to meddle in a strife brought about by our representative ‘and which has reached sjich magnitude as to appall his shrewdest friends. So far, however, every movement made by these disorganizers, has been hazardous to their schemes and if no accident happens, the republicans of the nort*ii western corner of Indiana may congratulate themselves after the 20th of June next with having had sufficient strength to oast aside one of the most unscrupulous men that ever pocketed their money without giving value for it.

It will be seen that Mr. Ira W. Yeoman is announced as an independent candidate for county auditor. Mr. Yeoman is a gentleman and has proved an efficient officer. Not a Word eftn belaid against his conduct either in public capacity or in private life—so far as we know both are spotless; but at the present tune there is scarcely a shadow of a prospect for his election. If the republicans nominate a good man for the office (and none others have announced) and are united this fall, as from present appearances they will be, Mr. Yeoman will be defeated by three hundred majority;

The provision in the Indiana election laws requiring ballots to be numbered is a fraud upon the constitution of the State, an evasion of its eVident meaning, an insult to the people, is harmful in its effects, and ought to be repealed.— Our candidates for the Asssembly should be pledged to use their influence to have it stricken from the statutes.

We find from the late report of Superintendent Hobbs that the number of children in this State between the ages of six and twentyone years is 610,655; the amount of school funds apportioned in 1870 is $1,231,561.05; of which $933,538.58 is derived fiomtax, $65,730.31 from interest on common school funds, $42 ,200 from liquor licenses, and $387.15 from unclaimed fees.

An “Enquirer” in the Monticello Herald wants to know if it is true that Hon. Anson Wolcott is a Catholic? We don’t know anything about Hon. Anson Wolcott’s religions views, but willjjo our bottom dollar that “Enquirer” is aslubberd egullion. The Indianapolis Journal says “the true name of the Colorado potato bug is said to be Gymnospermia Tetradynamia, of the class Sisinchiutminctiboubiaboolarumy We suppose this accounts for its mischievous propensities. From several parts of the State there is report of inharmony in political organizations. Both parties are afflicted. We are pleased to state that in Jasper county everything is Lovely thus far. There are five counties in the State with a less number of school children than Jasper. They are Benton, Blackford, Newton, Ohio and Starke. Union county has but nineteen more.

“The Winamac Republican believes the Rensselaer Union, and the other two papers that oppose Gen. Packard, will support him, if nominated. Qf course they wouldn’t bolt.’’— Kentland Gazette, May 12th. * * * <‘Xow we desire to ask the Rensselaer Union a plain question, viz.: If the Republican convention fairly nominates Gtn. Packard for re-election to congress, will you support him?”— Kentland Gazette, May 19/A. Can't the Gazette believe its own statements? “The only papers in this district that appear to really oppose the nomination of General Packard, are the Laporte Herald and the Rochester Spy.”—Plymouth Republican. That is decidedly refreshing for the season, isn’t it? Theßarnstabbers must be getting desperate w’hen they resort to such deliberate falsehood to keep up their courage.

“Greeley says ‘to reduce the Revenue to the current expenditures is to hamstring the Secretary of the Treasury.’ Hamstring of course, the people say, and the sooner the better. But does Mrs. Revels see any ‘hog and hominy’ in this flaming business?”— Knox Ledger. The interest taken by the Ledger in the welfare of the colored woman is supposed to be explained by the

“Elsewhere we this week announce the name of Chas. C. S. Keech as a candidate for Treasurer of Porter county, subject to the decision ot the convention oi June 4, 1870. Mr. Keech is well known. — He has been our postmaster for three years past, and has just been released from the duties of that, position. He is well qualified to undertake and discharge the duties of Trehßurer, and his soldier record, is oi the best. We believe that the people will give his claims the consideration they so well deserve and that w hen the votes come to be cast in the convention it will be found that the people have not forgotten to do, honor to the soldiers w ho served in the late war.”—Valparaiso Vulelte. How about that little clerkship at Washington, thus providing “for two soldiers instead of one*,” eh? “The Rensselaer Union pronounces the last election law passed by our Legislature unconstitutional. The courts have decided it constitutional.”- — Kentland Gazelle. We did nothing of the kind.— Will the Gazetie please say what “courts have decided it constitutional?”

Republican Congresslon’l Convention for the 11th District.

The Republican voters of. the 11th Congressional District of the State of Indiana are hereby notified that a delegate convention of the Republican party of said District will be held at the village of Wanatah, on Wednesday, t lie 29th day of June next, at 11 o’clock A. TIE. for the punxxse of nominating a candidate for Congress for said District. The different counties in the District will be entitled to the number of delegates named below—the representation being based upon the number of votes given to Max Hoffman as a candidate for Secretary ot State in 1868:

Hon. R. S. D Wiggins.

“By reference to our announcement colunfh this week, it will be seen that R. 8. Dwiggins, of Rensselaer, is a candidate for State Senator. Mr. Dwiggins is well known in the district. He made a very creditable canvass as Elector for this Congressional district, during the last Presidential campaign, and has the ability to make a good State Senator!.”— Kentland Gazette. “We learn that Mr. Wallace, of Kentland, is a candidate for State Senator, R. S. Dwiggius, of Jasper, is announced in this issue of our paper, and the canvass promises to be lively. These gentlemen are both able and qualified for the position, but we think Benton has the

Senatorial Convention.

A Republican Convention will be held at Reynolds, White county, Ind., on Friday, July Ist, 1870, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for State Senator for the District composed of Pulaski, White, Jasper, Newton and Benton counties. Each county is entitlefl to one delegate for eacli 100 votes east for Max. F. A. Hoffman in 1868, and one for every fraction of 50 votes or more. Alonzo Cowgill, Ch’n C. C. Benton Co. S. P. Thompson.

“McFarland has been acquitted and the farce is ended. Richardson is dead and jealousy and justice are satisfied. With the result of the trial we are not disposed to find fault, or we could have done so before it began, for we knew he could not be convicted after his plea of insanity, but our fault is with the plea itself. The jplea of insanity every man of sense knows is mere bosh, and it looks so much like double dealing and a farce on justice that we fear it will bring the execution of the laws into contempt. If, as he boldly asserts, he slew Richardson because he seduced his wife, let him plead that in justification and if he proves it, the world will justify him, but, whenever he resorts to the pitiful plea of insanity, we conclude at once that the pretense of seduction is a cheat, and only the imaginings of a drunken who, doubtless, may have badly treated his wife and thus been disposed to abuse or kill any one who sympathized with her. McFarland is acquitted and we have nothing to say of him, but must say that we saw no proof that Richardson seduced Mrs. McFarland, or that she was his mistress, for it may be set down as a universal rule that all men do not voluntarily marry women of that character and it seems almost certain that in his dying moments Richardson would not have committed his children to the care of a harlot as he must have done if the theory of the defense is true. We will go as far as any person to maintain inviolate the marriage vow, but do hold that it is fair that a nrtm shall at least be without sin himself before he makes himself a judge, jury and executioner of the laws of the land, or his own passionate w ill.”—Benton Tribune.

Sixty thousand acres of Land have been fenced this season, near Beaver lake, for pasturage, by Messrs. Milk, of Kankakee City,
