THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, April 3d, 1873.

John B. Bpottswood, Esq, has retired from the publication of the Keddind He Is sue—needed by Messrs. Root A Graham. The paper will continue to “maintain its character as a Democratic journal.'” The Democrat [Wiuumae] insinuates that the newly appointed judge fHammondj is a relative of the Governor. —Plymouth Republican. There is nothing in the Insinuation; i* not a relative, unless Governor Hendricks also traces his genealogy back to lion. Mr. Adam, of Eden. There is a little town in Illinois which, until lately lias supported, or made an attempt to support, a Congressional and Presbyterian church, —Crown Point Remitter. If the “Congr essionnl” church is anything similar to the Washington body of that name we are afraid that those Presbyterian brethren will find it difficult indeed to preserve their town from a fate like that which befell Sodom and Gomorrah tn the days of ancient Lot. The Logansport Journal says: We are prouder of Senators Pratt and Morton than we ever were before. They refuse to accent the £5,000 salary grab, and .they do it so quietly that all the world and his wife don’t know anything about it. We found it out accidentally but reliably. Hope so. It would be truly refreshing in these evil political-days to know there were public men who BfiU cultivated those old TaSTuonod nearly obsolete virtues cf honesty and modesty at the same time. Brother Jacob Reiser, ol the Winamae Republican, has recentlybeen appointed postmaster ofjiis town, yet unlike many men filling positianß under the Government, he is taking a noble stand against those wicked thieves in Congress who recently became parties to the robbery of nearly a million and a half of Government funds. Reiser is deserving of a liberal patronage from the people of Pulaski county for he will prove their true friend. Pleasant Grove (Newton county) Grange of Patrons of llusbanday recently adopted the following as €heir sense of the matters treated: Whereas, Hon. Jasper Packard, •our member ofXopgress. has sent us seven papers of tobacco seed and a package of spring wheat, therefore Retained, That we tender anil vote Gen. Packard our sincere thanks for the same. Retained, That we will not countenance any member who voted for tne act for back payment of members of Congress, and those who had already received lawful pay for thSir services and receipted for the same, as being in full for their services. In General Garfield’s district, in Ohio, his Republican constituents recently held a convention and adopted a resolution asking him to resign. Of course it would be a waste of breath to ask our representative to forego §15,000, but let the people remember him at the polls a year from next fall. Let our readers #ho are owing taxes in Jasper county remember that Saturday, April 10th, is the last day on which the Treasurer is permitted to take taxes of 1872, without more money thau is now assessed. After that date penalty and interest attaches to all delinquencies. By act of legislature passed at its. session last winter it becomes the imperative duty of the county treasurer to collect up all taxes before the first day of October or show <rood reason for not doing so, else he and his sureties become personally responsible to the county for theftaxes remaining nnpaid. If the usual carelessness is manifested by property owners there will be many forced sales in Jasper county during the coming summer, and there will be nobody to blame but the owners themselves. i The immaculate postmaster at Kentland, whose manipulation of the Francesville Representative convention last summer will not coon be forgotten by Republicans of Jasper county, intimates that the opposition of the Rensselaer Union to that gaug of salary thieves in Congress is inspired by vindictiveness and personal malice arising from disappointed effort to obtain control of a country postof'fice. Themselves corrupted with patronage and continually intriguing tor preferment, it seems to be impossible for people like that ;R.entiand fox to comprehend how *ny may be inspired by other than :aeifich or sinister motives. Butj .thii was a fox’s rtise to create a di.vercion in favor of the man that patronizes him: The question is, !W«» it wrong for Congressmen to vote themselves additional pay for Cfrvioea already rendered? If nay, Packard should be canonized; if yes, be be re-elected.

On tlie first Monday in June. 1873, and biennally thereafter, the town,s)up trustees of Jaspef county will meet at the Auditor’s office and appoint a county Superintendant of Public Instruction. This i» in accordance with- the provisions of the school law of Indiana as amended by the last session of the legislature. The Superintendant will not be entitled to a fee for examining applicants for license to teach, but his compensation will be St per day for actual services rendered. Section 9 of the amended school law requires that at least one Saturday in each month during the progress of the public schools shall be devoted to township institutes, or model schools, and two Saturdays may be appropriated to that purpose by the township trustee.

Remington Items.

Compiled from the Journal. Rumors of a new boot and shoe store are rife, The Journal pronounces the appointment of Col. Ilaminond to the circuit, judgship a good one. Wheat in the vicinity badly frozen out. Mr. Fred Hoover looses one hundred acres. Frank Shaw and Jennie Kaufman wore married on the ‘23d of March. Re v. J. B. Crowe said the say. A Central Association of Patrons of Husbandry was -organized at Remington on the 22d of Marcli with the following officers: President, George Major; Vice President, CrH. Price;.- Hec’y, W. Elyca.

The Greatest Want of the Times.

V I do not mean money, nor wise legislation. I mean men—honest, -sound, true men -true to. the very heart’s core. Men who can n-ml will condemn wrong in friend and foe alike, t |»athemselves as well as in others. Men whose consciences are as firm and steady to truth as the needle to the pole. Mon who will stand for the right though the eartli be moved, and the heavens fall. Men who can tell the truth in Jim face of any- opposition,-and even to their own disadvantage.— Men, who, it they swear to their own hurt, will not change. Men who can go steadily on and who neither brag nor run, Men whose courage needs no strouting to keep it up, and who neither Hag nor flinch. - Mon who are large enough to reach beyond all merely sectarian bounds, and who love the truth for its own sake. Men who know wliat to say, and how and when to say it, and who say it.—rMen who know liow to find their places, and to fill them. Men who know their own business and who pay attention to it. Men who are not too proud to be poor, nor too lazy to work. Men who arc willing to live on what they can earn, and to pay for wliat they wear. There is a call for such men, who will answer? D.

S. pro tern. - Applications for membership from the following Granges were next handed in, Masters and delegates being present and*expresSiS§f a willingness to comply with the constitution of the Association, by unanimous vote of the assembled delegateswere admitted to membership in the following order: Curtis Creek No. 25, White Oak, Francesville, Salem,, Hanging Grove, Gillam, Walker, Progress, Independence, Mt.

By similar process the bill for the opening of the Iroquois w'as withdrawn. The lumber bid from Francesville not being stated under the signature of the dealer nor properly vouched for was laid on the table.

National Agricultural Congress which is to convene at Indianapolis, Ind., on the fourth Wednesday of Mil}, 1873. Resolved, That those newspapers that do not support the cause of the farmer against all unjust monopolies, but take sides with their aggressors are unworthy our patronage and should receive no support from the farming community. Retained, That we deem the practice of , accepting free passes from railway companies by persons holding official positions as one of exceedingly questionable propriety inasmuch as its direct tendency 4s to curtail the freedom of action and judgment necessary to a proper discharge of duty. Resolved, That me recommend our Granges to purchase farm implements the coming season only from the manufacturers through the trustees of this Association. Resolved, That the Secretary of this Association furnish a copy of theste resolutions for publication in The Rensselaer Union, Remington Journal and Northwestern Farmer. On motion J. N. Ross and C.
