THE RENSSELAER UNION.! - - - Thursday, March 20th, 1873.

Jacob K«iser has been appointed postmaster at Winamac and he is I as happy as the day is long. The unjust sum put into the pock- 1 •ts of members of the late 42d Con- 1 gress of the United States was ; $1,830,000. Retrenchment? Under an act of oiir legislature; any public officer who beedines intoxicated during the tc rm for which he was elected can lie removed from his office. If the law is i igidly enforced it is a little doubtful j if wc can get a quorum in the legislature. Hon. Oakes Ames, of Massachusetts, was the victim of a public reception last week, at which a large and enthusiastic meeting of his neighbors resolved that he was one of “the noblest works of God, an honest man,” and the victim of a wicked conspiracy and cruel newspaper persecution. Resolutions of condolence purporting to have been adopted by Pleasant Valley-Grange upon the death of Fountain Ham, Esq, havi been received at this office. The communication evidently contains _£raye errors which should not be published and we have no data by which to correct It. Besides tins there was no name attached to the paper to make it authoritative or " authentic, therefore we could not publish it, were it correct in other respects. The Logansport Journal of March 15th, publishes an Indianapolis letter giving a “personal description of the more prominent members” of our late Legislature, which contaihs the following merited compliment to Senator R. S. Dwiggins, of Rensselaer: Robert 8. Dwiggins, of Jasper county, was one of the working men. Always in his seat, paying strict attention to the business of the, day, he permitted no measure to pass without knowing what it contained. With large and comprehensive views of the wants and needs of tlie State, his voice and vote were ever ready for progress. Governor Hendricks has appointed Col. E. P. Hammond,, of this place, judge of the 30th judicial circuit. This circuit consists of the counties of Pulaski, Benton, Newton and Jasper Simon- P. Thompson, Esq., also of Rensselaer, is the prosecuting attorney. Col. Hammond’s appointment is for __a fractional term until his successor is chosAii At a special election to be held next October and is qualified. The terms of court in this circuit are as follows: Benton county—First Monday' in February, fourth Monday in April, first Monday in September and third Monday in November. Jasper—Mondays succeeding terms in Benton county. ' New T ton —Mondays succeediiig terms in Jasper county. Pulaski—Mondays succeeding terms in Newton county. Is it not a singular coincidence that of the Republican newspapers' ot this Congressional district, not one whose editor fills a position under the goverunieot has a word of condemnation for Hon. Jasper Packard for voting for the “steal” that put §5,000 ot tlie people’s tn ohey in his pocket? The Kentland Gazette, the Monticello Herald, the Delphi JeUrnaZ, the Winamac Republican, the Crown Point Register, the Michigan City Enterprise, the Mishawaka .finterprwand the South Bend Register are all as silent as sepulchres upon this action. Some of these papers have condemned the outrage in general terms, but not one has yet criticised the only individual of the gang over whose future 1 career they pan have the least influence. „ The Francesville Local Topic of last week assumes a prerogative of Almighty God and enters judgment against the devoted managers of I this paper, assigning our final habitation in bell. Ih order to mitigate in some degree what might otherwise seem ap intolerable punishment, it mercifully add’s, “There will be no Jasper Packards to fight „<here.” We confess this latter arrangement inspired considerable resignation and a reasonable sense of relief until we recollected that passage of Scripture in first Corinthians, sixth chapter and tenth verse, which l eads “Nor thieves * * * shall inherit the kingdom of God” and thought of Mr. Packard’s recent square steal of §5,000 from the treasury of a debt-burdened nation. If in the Day of Judgment inembert oTfllie 42d Congress who participated in the robbery of • million and a quarter of dollars from a tax-oppressed people find grace in the eye* of Infinite Mercy, may not we, whose chief offence is inability to discern the stamp of grtpßS in those doggerel prodnotion* of the Topic manager, hope for at least a 'degree of leniency

The Remington Journal, of last Friday, came to hand with the naines ot U. M< Johnson? a nffETFu Maxwell at the head as proprietors, and Mr. J. 11. Simddy editor. In his salutatory, Brother Snoddy I says: , • | We know nothing of the origin of the quarrel between the Journal and the Rensselaer Union, but we do ' know that we will not"continue a party to it. We, if needs be, prefer to I suffer in right and even in honor, : rather than advertise ourselves as a ! blackguard in order to seeming vindi- I cation. With the Union, as with allot our exchanges, we hope to liye on i amicable terms, and are ready, by “any profess ion ill reciprocity “on r fiverti - ties will allow, to open and keep open ■ the way to friendship and good wilt. | When the Journal was first projected we rendered its originator all the assistance that he asked ungrudgingly and extended to him : the hand ol professional fellowship. IWe lent him material with which to set np and work his paper for several weeks; whenever and wherever we could do so we 'spoke en-coui-agingly of Ins venture and advised our fi iends to assist him with patronage, For nearly three months we paid no attention to his taunts. When it dame our turn and we were ready, we replied to him as in our judgment the occasion demanded. If he was wounded in feelings or injured in pocket, we are not sorry; for he acted badly and was a consummate fraud. For the present m anagers uFthe and particularly its editor, w'ith whom we have largest acquaintance, our feelings are_re-, spectful and friendly. There is plenty of room in Jasper county for us all to work without conflicting in interest. We were glad when th.c Journal ~ was first established at Re inmg.ton arid welcomed. it as a colaborer to attract thither immigration and assist in advocating, the interests of Jasper county. Under the old manage..tent it became detrimental to public good, and we look upon the change of proprietors and editor ap a vasTlmprovement, calculator to work much benefit. ir

Co-operative Stores.

Editors Union: Having been detained in your vicinity a few weeks last fall, and becoming acquainted with several of the. inhabitants of your village and vicinity, your interesting little weekly is ever a welcome visittint. It is line receiving a letter from my kind friends in the far West with much information contained I am happy to receive." I was delighted .tor learir that your “majestic Iroquois” poured down its liquid torrent, and that the upper and nether millstone was moved by its hydraulic power. I regret to learn the severity of your winter. I fear your'tattie and hogs must have Suffered severely, not having muep, shelter. and that much corn has been left to shiver all winter in the merciless blast. I fear, too, your peach trees, Which were abundant and promising last fall, have been compelled to succumb to the intensity of the winter. But farmers as well pre-pared-forwinter as-we, your winter would have been light, comparatively. The mercury has sunk with us to 42° below zero. Yesterday morning and this morning (Marell 4th and oth) Il a below. Our latitude is 43° 30' N. I have read with deep interest the sayings and doings of a new organization with you, the “Patrons of Husbandry.” Of its probable workings it becomes me not to write a word.— I notice in’the last paper that atja meeting in your place no bid was received from the merchants of Rensselaer for the* trade of the Union and that at the next meeting the practicability of-forming a jonrf pany for the purpose of trade would be taken into consideration. With this I have been perfectly familiar for over 20 years. True, lite one to which your correspondent belongs has prospered. But ninety-nine out of a hundred have gone under. Co-operative stores spreaq like wildfire from Boston in 1852. We were organized under the No. 338. Not one within our knowledge but ours.has survived. It has proved to be asHppery concern—qji unwieldy copartnership; Meiq capable and honest, have not been found to maqagethe concern. North, west and south of us, all, all, have •gone by the board; —The nearest one to us have called on the stockholders for 200 per cent, above their original stock, that is those paying in s2()have lost the S2O ami S4O more. One north wound up by paying in JOO percent. Let the friends in. Jasper look before they leap, A word to the wise is sufficient. New Yorker.

Compiled from the Journal. Burglars about town. The Wilber House has again changed hands. Mr. J. T. McKim Jias sold out his stock of groceries. Another carriage, wagon and blacksmith shop is to be started about the first of April. The Journal says: “Mr. Burnham, of the Rensselaer public, school, has been'appointed School Examiner "of this county —he \can work very hard, if he is so disposed, and do much good, with prospect of but little pay.” At a meeting on the Bth instant of the Soliciting Association it was decided that a Central Association i of the Patrons of Husbandry should ; be formed at Remington, and invited a—meeting of the different Granges that hold a“smillar view, on Saturday, March 22d,” at 10 o’clock A. M. '

The Order in Jasper County.

A few items relative to the rise, progress and present-strength of the Older in this county will no doubt prove interesting to a number of your patrons, so I will write a brief history. As late as eighteen months ago but a limited number of those most directly interested knew as much as the moaning of the word Grange or Patrons of llnsb a lidr y, h e ver tile 1 ess‘the want of organization among fariner.s had long-been realized, apd every year the fact became more plain that unless something was speedily done to prevent the extortions of monopolies that the farming community' as a class would becomebankrupt. _Vague rumors of organization ih the shape of. Granges- of the Pabrons of Husbandry were introduced by visitors during the year 1871. About the first of 1872 a Deputy from Newton county, where the Order had already obtained quite a footing, succeeded in organizing a Grange in. this county. It waslike_ a leap in the dark, for beyond the say go of Madam Rumor-and the Deputy, nothing was known oi its objects either morally, socially or -financially, January another Grange was organized by Deputy J. T. Graham south of Rensselaer atidin February still another by the same Deputy at Mt. I’leasant, pine miles north of Rensselaer. During all this time it met with the most determined opposition from the very class whom it was designed to benefit. As yet but little had been done and the prophecy of the doubtful that in three months there would not be a Grunge in the county, was in a lair way to be realized. Shortly after this time Deputy Gr< ham organ izeil a Union Gi-aii<*e Deputy Yeoman organized Curtis Creek Grange and Deputy Clifton organized Farmers, Farmers AlliI Unee and Center Granges. The friends of the cause from this time were confident of success, ami Deputy Clifton commenced working up the project of a Central Association of the various Granges in the county, and in September representatives of six Granges met at Rensselaer and organized a temporary Central Union under the name of the Jasper Central Association. This Association elected officers and at once commenced work, but for seme months nothing was attempted save the supervision .of interests of subordinate Granges and the perfection of the Central At the regular jneeting in Deceihber, however, a constitution was adopted, new officers elected and work began in earnest. In Ja n u ary, 18 73, bi d s were.- Fee eiv e d for trade from various quarters, and Granges were eleven in niqnber with a membership of 400. In February the Association made satisfactory arrangements for the pur-, chase pf pumps, plows, general farm implements, nursery stock, harness, saddlery, etc., at wholesale prices and at discounts ranging from 10 to 40 per cent. Six new Granges were organized in February and entered the Central Association, three of which were from adjoining counties. Since the last meeting in February a new Grange has been organized by Deputy Yeoman in Marion townsliipy and three by Deputy Clifton, one in Hanging Grove, one in Gillam and one in Walker townships. There are now in this county 18 Granges with a membership of over 600. From the present outlook no apprehensions are entertained of failure in our warfare against monopolies, high "freights and extortions of all kinds.

When a ben lays an egg she cackles. It is hen nature. When a man gets in a new strtek it is human nature for him tocrow over it. When the hen cackles; people know that she has laid jn spme,fresh stock, and feeds rather prowl, of it. When the merchant opens, his new styles, and blows his trumpet in the newspapers, people know that he has something on i iiand that is worth advertising. Blow i y6ur own trumpet once in a while.— It won’t hurt you or the*. trumpet either.— Ex. . r ‘ We will blow a note on a bugle kept for that purpose fur those who have no borps of their own.
