TME RENSSELAER UNION.' Thursday, May 22,' 1873,

The remains of Gen, Canby are expected at Indianapolis td-inor-tow, wlfere they will be buried with imposing obsequies in tie Crown Hill Cemetery. It is strange, very strange, that hone of the South Bend papers * have mentioned Schuyler Colfax’s name as. a proper person for Supreme Judge, in place of Chase. The Modocs are still holding their territory against the United States troops, and the war seems tio nearer a close than when Gen. Gillam first attacked them in the lava beds. There is no need of sending to Ben. Butler for those three cents you lost by The ary grab.”— Jasper Packard is prepared to disburse that amount to any of his constituents who think they have been wronged. Penny postal cards have at last been issued but the supply is so litnited that they will not go half way round. The capacity of the factory is to be increased to turn out a million daily until all the orders are filled. The Republicans of the 17th judicial circuit held a convention at Richmond, Indiana, on the 17th of this month for the purpose ot nominating a candidate for Judge.— Judge J. F. Kibbey was nominated and will be elected. It is said that Gen. Tom Browne, late Republican candidate for Governor of this State, will be a candidate for congress in the new fifth district, in this State. Gen. Browne has many warm friends in this part of the State who would rejoice to have him sent to Congress. Hon. W. S. llohnan, Democratic congressman from this State, has taken considerable credit to liimsel f for voting against th e salary 'grab, but notwithstanding his commendable record on the vote, things ain’t altogether lovely for William, the people of his district are op. pressed with the sickening suspicion that he took his share of the steal just the same as those fellows did who voted for it. Prominent Democrats of Indianapolis have made the necessary arrangements for the publication of a straight-out Democratic weekly paper in that city. The object of the originators of the project is to supplant the Sentinel, and furnish the party with the mental pap that they have pined for so long and their State organ has failed to supply. It is also the intention of the proprietors to publish a daily as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a letter from our Congressman, Jasper Packard, to Timothy Keene, Secretary of the State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry, together with the comments of the Valparaiso Vidette. One thing is evident; Jasper don’t propose to resign, give back his “grab,” or treat his constituents with honesty or candor. Of the few that still had a lingering suspicion that Jasper was honest that letter will satisfy that their suspicion was wiong. The letter in fact shows the littleness of the man, his dishonesty and his utter unfitness for the high position that he has held. The letter in fact more than justifies all that has ever been said against him by his bitterest enemies, and shows plainer than any other evidence could that they knew the man. The twentieth report of the Supcrintendent of Public Instruction sEows that the. whole number of school houses in the State is 9,080, ’of which 88 are stone, 889 brick, 7,568 frame, and 547 log. The estimated value of School Houses, including grounds, seats, <tc., is $8,894,096.85. The total number of white children in the State, between the ages of six and twentyone years, is 622,430, of whom 321,289 are males, and 301,141 afe females. Tbe number of colored children between the same ages is, mates, 4670, females, 4449; total, 9119. Total number of children between the ages of six and twen-ty-one years, 631,549. For the year 1872, the tuition revenue per capita on enumeration was $3.45; on enrollment, $4.54; on daily attendance, $7.36. The average duration of school for the same year was 5.8 months. For the previous year, the average duration of ..-school was a little less than 4| months, an increase of about .07| per cent, of 1872, over 1871.

The following circular from Hon. James A. Wildman, Auditor of Slate, to F. W. Bnbcocjc, our county auditor, explains itself and it is to be hoped that the township trustees will act in the matter in such a manner as to give the people the needed relief from a tax that will, if left as it now stands, bear heavily on some of the townships of this county: From the statements madtj to this office, tn relation to the progress of Assessors, I am of the opinion that the assessment of property will' be largely increased over any assessment ever made in thia State: in some counties it will perhaps be doubled. In view of this, I take the liberty of calling your attention to the importance of having local levies of taxes made in proportion to the assessment as now indicated. As the Township Trustees levied their taxes in Marell, taking the old values as a basis, I am of the opinion that at the June term of the Commissioners’ Court the Trustees should reduce the March levies in proportionate the increase of assessment. As none of the taxes have yet been placed upon the duplicates of 1873, it is undoubtedly the duty of the proper authorities in counties, townships, and cities, to reduce their levies to correspond with the assessment now being made. If this is done,, the new valuation of property will not bring with it an unnecessary increase of taxation; and I respectfully call the attention of the authorities upon whom the duty of levying taxes devolves, to the necessity of taking promptly such action as will fully carry out the requirements of the law, and at the same time meet the wishes and subserve the interests of the people of the State. To this end it should be made known that there will be a reduction of tax levies to correspond with the increased valuation of property. When strangers come to our city for the purpose of locating here, or to examine the natural advantages of the place, our older citizens should take some pains to show them around, and to introduce them to tlie people. By this means we may secure the location in our midst, of men who will help to develop our resources, and to build up our city. If we can believe what we are frequently told, visitors have been treated so shabbily that frequently they leave with disgust.— The elements-of wealth are abundant in Marshalbcounty; but capital ami energy are needed to develop them. — Marshall county Republican. The same thing is true of the people of many communities in this part of the State, and although the stranger likes the appearance of the country, has the means to purchase a home, lie is discouraged at the very outsetby the croakers, who inform him that ho could not make a living at anything he might undertake. Trade is overdone, the professions arc crow de d, mec han ic s are idle, and farmers are getting poorer each year. Everybody would leave if they could raise money enough to carry them out of the State. The face of the stranger elongates day by day and he soon jumps a place that is spoken so ill of by those who should tell a different story, and the community has lost one that would have made a good citizen had he remained in our midst; and not only is he gone from us but others that he would probably bring with him shun a place that has no friends. Let this community try and do the right part with -those who wish to settle among us. “The old practice of gulling farmers has again made its appearance right in this county. These swindling operations are also being carried on in portions of Illinois and Michigan, and generally result in fleecing the community pretty effectually. It is said that a single operator’s proceeds often amount to $1,500 in a single week. 'The plan generally practiced by these rascals is as follows: The peddlers oiler for sale cloths and dress materials done up in packages which they offer for from SSO to $l5O each. If a farmer sees fit to purchase, they will take his note for the amount and immediately sell the same to a broker and decamp with the proceeds. The swindlers carefully select only such customers as they know to be ‘good’for all,liabilities they may incur—To keep posted they usually hire some person residing in. and familiar with the residents of the county, to act as pilot. While the swindler is negotiating, using smooth, oily words to the best jipssible advantage, his victim grasps the idea that he is about to obtain a splendid bargain. A sale is effected, and after the salesman takes his departure the ‘sell’ begins hourly to become more apparent as the goods loose their bright lustre, and the victim finds he has a quantity of almost ' worse than worthless articles on his hands. We admonish our farmers to be on the look-out for these peddling vagabonds, and give them a cold shoulder. Patronize home institutions and get the value of yourmoney. It is always safe to distrust a man, especially a stranger, who offers to sell goods at prices greatly below what they are sold for at legitimate establishments.”—Kendallville Standard. If the farmers-of Jasper county see any such fellows as those described in the above item let them ! give them a wide berth. Your home merchants can buy goods just as chedp as one of these strolling vagabonds, and will sell to you cheaper, tor he is permanently located with you and it is to his interest to trad? honestly with you, but with these tramps they care for nothing except to effect a sale, secure your note and then they leave for some other locality where they will reap in a new crop. You have no defense against a note given them, for they are shrewd enough to only take a -negotiable note which is good for its face in the hands of an innocent purchaser.— Avoid them as;you would a snake.

Porter county has 4,780 children between the ages of six aud twen-ty-oire. -N The school enumerator at South Bend found a family with thirteen children. Newton county is one of the few counties in the State that has no agricultural fair. They fine a man one’ dollar and costs up at Plymouth for hitting 1 the sheriff of Marshall county. Boys get drunk, yell and swear over at Monticello, notwithstanding there is a lodge of Good Templars at that place. The land, without improvements, on Door Prairie, Laporte county, has been appraised at from SSO to $75 per acre. Laporte has a few men who defend the salary grab, and it is necessary to keep a close watch on the hen roosts. The'„Rochester Sentinel has a correspondent who believes that a little birching in school does good. Oh what a fogy! » At Winamac out of seventh-seven Odd Fellows only two were found who had cheek enough to sign a petition for a licensed whiskey shop. The Starke County Ledger says “the wheat is coming out well and the prospects are favorable, considering the late spring and cold weather.” Sharp boys in Lake county try to pass off young ground hogsron the county auditor for young wolves. But the auditor can’t be caught on such bait. Articles of Association of Logansport Wagon Manufactory, with a capital stock of $25,000 r were filed with the Secretary’C'bf State last week. Tbe proprietor of the Francesville Local Topic is making an effort to raise the necessary stamps to enlarge his paper. We hope he will succeed. The Laporte Argus, one of the best papers in this district has put on a new dress and looks as bright and happy as a congressmen who has refused the “grab.” The supply of fish in the Tippecanoe at Monticello is unusually abundant and the fishists of the region watered by that stream are having fine sport taking them. Young gentlemen at Winamac keep awake during religious service and crack nuts much to the annoyance of the editor of the Democrat who can’t afford such luxuries. About fifty persons living near Cedar Lake, in Starke county, are firm believers in the Mormon doctrine and hold regular meetings, in which they manifest much enthusiasm. Mr. Timothy Keene, Secretary of the State Grange Patrons of Husbandry, in a letter to us’says that twenty Granges have been organized in this State in the last ton days. A steam boiler exploded in South Bend last week, Wednesday, instantly killing a man by the name of Louis Cazad and wounding a boy by the name of Buck. No one to blame. Judge 11. P. Biddle, of Logansport, • has been elected a trustee of the Purdue University, to fill a vathe resignation of Bishop Bowman, of Greencastle. Last week two applications for license to sell whiskey and other intoxicating drinks were filed with the auditor of Benton county. On one of the applications was the names of two Good Templars. A goodly number of amateur fishermen have been visiting Monticello this spring, and the Herald man says they are setting a bad example to the pious youths of that place by showing a greater aptitude for getting drunk than catching fish. The Michigan Central are at work removing the sand from the north side of the river and will continue the good work indefinitely we understand. —Michigan City Enterprise. Indefinitely expresses clearly the length of time it will take to move the sand on the north side of the river. _ - _ __ _ When you see a young mail largely developed beh ind the ears, with one of Beadle’s dime novels in his hands, and a cheap cigar in his mouth, take a good look at him, he is your future congressman.—Winamac Democrat. It is to be hoped that before the young man the Democrat speaks of has arrived at the ,mature years, the people will quit sending long haired men, largely developed behind the ears, who read dime novels, and quote school book poetry, io congress.

From the Valparaiso Vidette. Hon. Jasper Packard Sends Greeting to the Patrons of Husbandry.

He will Deposit sl2 of the "6w«g” where it Will do the Most Good. HE JUSTIFIES HIMSELF. The following letter addressed by Hon. Jasper Packard, to Timothy Keene, Esq., secretary of the meeting that passed resolutions, respecting the Salary swindle of the last Congress, is in response to the resolutions, and conveys Mr. Packard’s defence of his action; it will be read with interest by .all those who have had a desire to know upon what grounds Mr. Packard would justify his demand for higher pay than $5,000 a year, but it will astonish some of our farmers, to learn that there is more nidney in farming, than in being a member of Congress, even at $7,500 per year. And for cool impudence* we think the proposition to deposit sl2 and thus condone the offence, surpasses anything that the criminal records of the world can produce. It is as if he should say, true, I took the money, but only sl2 of it was yours, the rest of it belonged to tbe other congressional districts of the United States, so I will give up your sl2, and it does not concern you how much I have wronged other people. But he does not tell us that he had a confederate in each one of these other districts, who got the same amount of money out of the people’s treasury, that he did, so that it still amounts to between four and five thousand dollars from this district, and that as he was an accessory, before and after the fact to the taking of said money, by each one of these, his confederates, he must, in order to condone his offence and compound with the people, deposit the full amount taken by himself or the pro rata share belonging to this district, taken from the com mon treasury by each and every one of his confederates in this back pay, voting and money grabbinsr. But read the letter and then laugh:

Laporte, May 7, 1873. ; T. Kkenk, Esq.—Dear Sir: I have received a marked copy of the Valparaiso Messenger containing certain resolutions passed at a meeting of the Patrons of Husbandry, held at Valparaiso on the 9th day of April; and as I presume it came from you, as Secretary,~in~ obedience to one of the resolutions, I treat it as I would a letter; and as I never fail to answer when written to, I send you a brief response, not as an answer to the statements of the resolutions, but to state a fact or two which I presume was unknown to the gentlemen wh» composed the meeting.— It would be rather hard to compel me to refund $5,000, not having received any such amount of “back pay,” and all the rest of my pay having been consumed in necessary expenses as I went along. That there is any injustice in the matter cannot be true, because the Constitution expressly authorizes Congress—each Congress—to determine its own pay, without any limitation as to the time when it shall so determine, whether on the first day, the middle day or the last day of a Congress; and it Can scarcely be possible that this provision of the Constitution was unknown to the people when the 42d Congress was elected. But it I should obey the demand and refund the additional pay which I received, it would not relieve the people of this district fr ointhe pay men t of the interest on three cents annually for each inhabitant, because the -expense is borne in common by all the people of the United States. Hence my individual pay refunded and the people of this district would be relieved of the payment finally only of their proportion of what I have received. This amounts to a little over sl2, which I will gladly deposit at any convenient place for the benefit of the 149,000 people of the district. It cannot justly be said that I am responsible for bringing the whole expense, that is the interest at six per centum on three cents for each one of our 40,000,000 of people on my constituents, because 1 voted against attaching tothe appropriation bill the proposition to make the salaries $7,500, and voted it be $6,500, which, all allowances beingcut oft’, qn object which I have been endeavoring constantly to reach, you will readily see would not have increased, but would rather have diminished the pay. The mileage, the stationery allowance, and the franking privilege, now all repealed, were worth to members not less, probably more, than $1,500 per annum.

True, I yoted for the appropriation bill on its final passage, because I believed then, and I believe now, that it would have been a great mistake to defeat it, for this, among other reasons, that it contained provisions which will save to the government the interest, and perhaps the principal, of all the bonds issped to the Pacific railroads. . I make no complaint of the action of the Granges. I only wish they might know all the facts before they condemn. That the salary of Congress has been, or is now, too high admits at least ot a difference of opinion. I have been a farmer, and speak with some knowledge of the subject when I say that if my sole object was money, I should at once obey the demand to resign; and would come back to my early occupation of cultivating the ?oil. Yours very' truly, Jasper Packakd.

State. • ■ It is well to hear all sides on the questions now agitating tho public mind. We clip the following from Mr. Joy’s recent speech on the railroad question, before the Michigan Legislature: , Now, in Illinois and the West last year there had been a most abundant harvest. The corn crop alone exceeded.l,ooo,ooo,ooo bushels. If it could all be got to market to-day it. would bring scarcely a song. This enormous over-production and its results—the low rates of corn—were all laid to the railways. The farmers said they had to give one bushel of corn to get another to market. Twenty years ago, before there was a railway in any section of Illinois, he could buy a farm of prairie land for $2.50 an acre, and from second hands. Everywhere great cribs holding a thousand bushels could be seen, and purchased at ten cents a bushel. From that time to this the Illinois railways have been built, and the Illinois farmers’ range of prices for corn has never gone below forty cents a bushel, and more frequently never below sixty. The country had filled up with .population, and its products were transported far and near for a tenth part of the former cost. All this enormous increase of wealth, unparalleled in the' history of any nation, had been caused by railways. And yet these men, getting rich by these very railways, fancy' they arc, by means of them, the most oppressed men in the world. John Donalds, an Englishmans living some three miles south-west of the Crossing, hung himself last Thursday. He was about forty years old, had a wife and one child and owned a small farm. About: one year ago he attempted to hang himself but was discovered and cut down in time to be saved; this time he carried out his designs; by hanging himself to a small tree near where he had been working. Extreme dissipation was the probable cause of the rash act.— Valparaiso Vidette.
