THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, March 27th, 1873.

The Kent] ami Ggzctte says the appointment of Col. Hammond to the circuit judgship “is an excellent one, and will give very general satisfiTClion all over the circuit.” The Crown PtlhU Register and Francesville Local Topic have pronounced in favor of the increase of salaries of public officers. The former lias a $2,000 Government contract for advertising, and the latter received a copy of the Census Report last week. '. - - aMMMHMIBaHBaaHaaH r ■ ;• -| Lawyers are the result of law; law Is the result of evil; evil is the result of the devil; lawyers are the result of the conclusion is irrcsistable.— Valparaiso Vidette. Rro. Gurney, .of the Vidette, is a lawyer himself and nobody will dispute liis syllogistic conclusions about his own origin. The Francesville Local Topic says of tlie appointment of Col. Hammond to the judgsliip of this circuit: “VVe are satisfied. No better man could have been; selected, and his appointment shows wisdom' and non-partizansliip on the part of our excellent Governor.” If* . The efficacy of prayer might be 'tested on the boys who disturb the quiet of our town long after they xnjght~to. be ill- tied.— IVtnamar Democrat. And should that efficacy fail to produce the desired result, try the virtues of a young hickory sapling judiciously applied to their little democratic pantaloon seats. 4 ■- ■— ' ■ ■—■■■■ ■ Senator Caldwell, of Kansas, was not expelled for bribery, but would have been had he not followed the advice of friends and resigned. The past winter has been peculiarly trying on “Christian? statesmen —hypocrites who lißVcffiade political capital out of they’ professions of religion. The Winamac Democrat editors do not seem to entertain a very flattering opinion of the State of Nebraska for agricultural pursuits, if one may judge from the following paragraph: A gentlemaft wants to trade us Nebraska land for the Democrat office.— Vre wouldn’t give a £1 Continental railroad script for pretty much the whole State of Nebraska.' The Kentlami Democrat congratulates “Mr. Hammond upon his appointment to the responsible and honorable office of judge, and the 'Governor for showing himself, in the appointment of judges in the different districts of the State, above the miserable partisan spirit that consults the interest of party wdiile it disregards the .Welfare of the people. 4 ’ lion. Jason B. Brown, an Indiana politician of sointr note captured from the Democratic ranks by the Republicans last summer, has been properly branded and turned out to pasture for the summer as Secretary of Wyoming Territory. It is a large field with succulent herbage, and it is to be iioped that lie will thrive. The Chicago Tribune says: With tiie expiration of the franking privilege, after next June no mail matter will be carried free by the -jiostoffice. This law will require the payment of postage on newspaper exchanges and on newspapers distributed within the counties where published, both of which have hitherto been free. This arrangement will make a radical change in the newspaper business throughout the country and for a time may work hardships to rural publications; jmt in the long run we think it will be better for tliosp that are resting on a paying foundation. It will certainly compel a rigid ndherance to the advance payment system. The Winamac Democrat censures Governor Hendricks for appointing Col. Hammond to the Circuit jndgship; but .the Republican says “We believe our people when they become acquainted with Col. Hammond, will be well satisfied with the Governor’s selection. We confess that We are somewhat surprised that the Governor made the appointment outside-of his party, but accept it as an omen of good, and we know that while’ Judge Hammond is on the bench no one will know what his politics are by his administration of justice.” The citizeus of f?outh Bend hav-ing-provided Mr. Colfax with a certificate of good moral character, signed by fifteen hundred names, he was permitted to lecture in the First M. E. Church in that city, last evening, upon the subject of temperance. The time has been when Mr. Colfax’s record was such that the presentation of a character “testimonial” .would have - been considered a questionable compliment—and it may he .so still if we consider that he has occupied high public positions for nearly a quarter of a century. It is humiliating to know that his intimate friends should consider such a thing necessary or appropriate.

Porge the Republican Party.

The Plymouth Democrat of last week publishes a partial list of the Republican papers of Northern Inthievish grab of the 42d Congress, and properly includes The Rensselaer Union among the foremost of that list; but its article closes with the following statement, which is libelous so far as it is made to apply to us. The Democrat says: - But notwithstanding all their denunciations, these same journals will ardently support Packard oraiiy other man their party may nominate. While it is controlled by its present management* not “ardently support Packard.”— Last campaign showed conclusively that he can do without its support, and for the sake of purity in politics and because we love our country we regret that our influence against him was so feeble. -So long as The Rensselaer Union is controlled by its present owners it will not “ardently support” any Senator or Representative in Congress—Republican, Liberal or Democrat—-who voted for the $5,000 steal, or who has since become accessory to it by receiving a share of the spoils. Neither shall The Union be stultified by excusing President Grant for approving that rascally Act when the interest. of the nation demanded that he should veto it. Had he dolie so it would have added another glory to his illustrious name. But while we control The Rensselaer Union it will' not flop out of a Republieaiqfi'ying pan into a Democratic fire. The principles of the Republican party as understood by its millions of lion-office-seeking voters are best calculated to promote the public welfare. They are more progressive in spirit, more in accordance with the enlightenment of the age audrepreseut a broader and more comprehensive statesmanship than those of any other political organizational It is true our party has trusted men who have betrayed us; we have been humiliated, outraged and robbed by those whom wo honored; but there is yet virtue, among the masses and it will vindicate itself by casting aside these bad men that misrepresent us before the world. . Why should not Republicans “ardently support” their pai ty nominations? How can we better ourselves by going over to the Democracy? Analyze the vote on the Salary Steal afad we find there were more Democrats and Liberals than Republicans among those who responded aye. These men had stumped the country last summer from Maine to California and from Minnesota to Texas, denouncing corruption and extravagance as though they were the salt of the earth in political purity, and paragons of economy. Listening to their harangues one would imagine that before him was an ascetic of chastest simplicity, whose diet at the Capital was chiefly oat-meal porridge, whose apparel was linsey woolsey, and whose habitation a humble log cabiu with puncheon floors. They cared nothing for the pomp and frivolities of fashionable life, and consequently had no use for princely salaries—no, &ueh things did not comport with their ideas of republican simplicity!— How different (heir views when in the halls of Congress! Once there again and $5,000 is not sufficient to maintain themselves and thrifty families during a four month’s sojourn; they therefore steal §5,000 to make up deficiencies and provide against future contingencies by increasing their pay fifty per cent.— It only costs these preachers of economy §7,500 per annum to suppqrt a becoming style of republican simplicity! Are Republican members of Congress blameworthy for voting themselves back pay? Democratic and Liberal members are more so, for they had advertised themselves as pure and undefiled reformers, incorruptible patriots, a holy generation chosen of the Lord and consecrated for the special purpose of disinfecting and regenerating American politics! - \ It is not right to lay the blame of the retroactionary increase of salary measure at the door of either political party. Tire odium belongs to individuals, and they should be made to feel it. The only wav to do this is for the people to refuse to elect to any office those who participated in that robbery, either by voting for it or by taking any part of it. In this Congressional district Hon. Jasper Packard is the only individual the people have to deal with. In the first place he voted for Mr. Butler’s original bill which proposed to increase their pay from §5,000 per annum to §B,OOO, this was defeated; then he voted to make it tfySOO and this xyafi lost; lie finally voted for §7,500 per annum to future Members of Congress and takes the $5,000 additional for poet services which Providence, through Hon. njamin Butler, placed in his reach. This dis-

trict is Republican'by a largo "nia- f jority, and the convention which j nominates a candidate for Congress j shpuld pass resolutions censuring j Mr. Packard, and nominate some : other man. to succeed him. Tliejcg~ will bo no trouble to find u candidate who will represent us as ably as the present incumbent, most any man can vdo it. A like course should be jbirsued in every district throughout the land, where the sppre&entativo lias betrayed his constituents. There is no need of goingJo-tko-Bemocraf.ic nr TdhgrH ranks to find honest men tor we Jiave them in our own party. Let ufi vindicate our political integrity by dismissing corrupt men aha filling their places with our honest neighbors. It would not be safe to go to the Democratic or Liberal elements for political integrity until they, too, shall have been purged; for if they being less numerous than we furnish more political rogues, how much more widespread is the leprosy in their camp than in ours. - Ice all out of tho harbor at Michigan City.

The sum paid .members of tho Legislature of Indiana for their arduous labors during the late session was §72,200. The Oxford Tribune congratulates the people of Remington on the change of proprietors and editor of the Journal. Judge Hiram A. Gillett has been appointed judge of the 31st circuit, under the “new dispensation” of Indiana judicial affairs. There have been 170 cases of small pox in Cannelton during the winter; 49 of these were fatal and 13 have not yet recovered. Saloon keepers at Crown Point recently held a meeting and wisely resolved to obey the new, temperance law in evcry particular. New iron for repairing the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad is being delivered to section bosses for immediate laying down. Rev; Richard Hargrave recently preached in the M.E. Churchut Attica, just fotfty years from the time he delivered his first sermon there. The Order of Patrons of Husbandry is being thoroughly ventilated in Laporto county and has already resulted in several Granges there. It is estimated that 30,000 bushels of millet was harvested in Lake county last season. It is now worth from forty to fifty-five cents a bushel. The salary of Prof. Cox, State G'eologist, is now §3,00.0 per annum, having been increased from SI,BOO by the Legislature at its late session. j, The Kentland Gazette advises not too much corn planting this season and says that -flax seed and oats can be got into market before the close of lake navigation. One law persecuted saloon keeper at Plymouth has been driven to abandon his gin mill and open a tailor shop. He now cabbages an honest living from those he use.d to rob. The hoop poles used a* u the large cooper shops of the Michigan City Penitentiary are nearly alfbrought from lowa. Thus a prairie State furnishes a xyooded State with timber. T he bridge across the Tippecanoe fiver at Winamac proves to be only, a §13,000 ornament, the “raparageous” Mill creek rendering it impossible to teach it .without, more bridges. Preparations for early work on the harbor are being made, the dredge put in order, and timber and othsr material brought in. The prospect is for a good working season and the use of the entire appropriation before another close of navigation.— Michigan City Enterprise. Unless the streets are soon drained it is feared that the inhabitants of Francesville who desire to keep their feet dry will be compelled to wear “gum boots buttoned around the neck.” In the diocese of Fort Wavne there are fifty working Roman Catholic priests, besides twenty attached to the different, orders; most of the latter are doing duty at the university of i>fotre Dame. Most the business men formerly, at Valparaiso have migrated to Chicago, The Vidette says “there, are more there new than there are here;” and further, “business in Valparaiso is not very prosperous,” The Cass county commissioners have decided to build a brick poor house on the poor farm. In this respect Cass is behind'Jasper county for the latter has had a brick jjobr house ever since She owned a poor farm. The total vote oast at the late election on the constitutional amendment forbidding the State to assume payment of tho old canal debt was 159,430; the vote against the amepdment was 1,030, leaving a majority of 158,400 in its favor. The next regular meeting of the editors and publishers of Northern .Indiana, will be held at Ligonier on Friday, April 11, 1873.

The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at a regular meeting of Union Grange No. 33: Whereas, It is plainly evident that the present system of railroad monopolies are injurious to agriculture and the rates charged for transportation unlawful, therefore be it ; Resolved, That we solemnly protest against such unlawful abuses and exorbitant rates charged for freights and other transportation, and we urge upon every farmer and Patron to aid us in correcting the abuses that are being practiced upon us. Resolved, That we condemn the action of the present legislature in passing by, unnoticed, a petition from the farmers praying for the passage of such laws amt regufating tho rates of freights upon railroads, thereby enabling us to send our produce to market and realize a reasonable profit aside from the cost of production. s Resolved. That we believe the law recently passed raising-the salary of our public officers to be unconstitutional and against the wishes of a large majority of the people in that it heaps a burden upon them in being compelled to pay this extra amount of taxes for services wholly unearned. Resolved, That wo pledge ourselves not to give our votes toward securing for any one any office of trust whatever whose interests are not identified with those of the farmer. Resolved, That while we feel it our duty to pass a general censure we will not forget tiie faithful few who have endeavored to maintain the people’s rights. Resolved, That we approve the course pursued by the Northwestern Farmer of Indiana, and Prairie Farmer, of in their efforts to maintain the p topic’s rights and to spread the Order of Patrons of Husbandry and we bespeak for them a liberal .Patro-ilago- - I bat *, ties*, resolutions be published in th e Northwestern Farmer and ItKNSSELAICE IJVIGN. Done by order of the Grange. RxLev Nowels, Keerotary.

Mc.ny objections have been urged ap’.mst. the new Order known as the Patrons of Husbandry, some of which weve prompted from envy, spite or 'fiercenary motives. Of such there is nothing to be said save “slander digs its own grave,” but some two or three, hardly objections, but rather doubts, have been urged. The most common is, “Will it not become a political party?” In the strict sense of the word we answer no; in so far as educating the masses to vote intelligently and only for men who are known advocates of justice and reform we answef yes. As an Order success is dear to our hearts for various reasons; reasons palpable to any one who for a moment will consider the past isolation. social wants, pecuniary embarrassment and unorganized defencelessness of the agricultural community, mid gleaning from the past the undisputed fact that any society which identifies itself with a political party or attempts the establishment of a new one at that very moment strikes the death knell of its own hopes, we are bound by ourtjes to forever exclude it or even its discussion from our Order. Many just r.ow Confound the addresses from the Honorables, the Judges, &c., as delivered to and countenanced by the Patrons. Such is, and upon investigation will be round to be, a mistake. There are Farmers’ Clubs and similar bodies who are making common war With us against the unjust discriminations, freights, and tariffs, of the railroad monopolies, but who have nothing to fear from political intrigue or party favors, and who act with us for the reason that common dangers make, common friends, and the political and broken down public hacks who seek notoriety and court office by truckling to and flattering the organized farmers, may find, when praying f° r trust and office. their names enrolled in the Patron’s Blue Book alongside the men who have lately dishonored thenselves and shamed their party constituents by treasury grabs and kindred frauds. • We claim that when election time comes round tha.t irrespective of party those men, who by their past public record have shown themselves above price, and who have been foremost in their defence of the heretofore defenceless farmer, ever opposing Credit Mobiliera, treasury grabbers, monopolies and rings, who fill their pockets by depleting ours, will receive our support to such an extent as to secure their return. Men of known judgment protest that when the party cries resound through our land and the enthusiasm of the periodical campaigns come on, we will be found, rallying around the old party banners, that party name is dearer than pocket book and religion, but the spirit that by one mighty convulsion tore itself loose from the traditions of the mother country, from the enthusiasm of the. subject, who, time after time, with the voice as of an earthquake echoed the cry, “Godsave the king,” is still abroad in our land; we are not Russians, We havec Wen wronged, insult heaped upon injury. Gentlemen, remember Samson
