THE RENSSELAER UNION. —,.. Thursday, September 4th, 1873.

Undoubtedly Senator Morton should have r.-turnvd—-“covcri-d”—. his portion of the back pay steal to the United States treasury, us soon as it came into his possession; but let hr ail b.j thankful that after six months of reflection he decided not to be a thief. Better late than never, even when a simple question of honesty is involved. The Clerk of White county was compelled by the Attorney General of Indiana to disgorge that had accumulated in his possession, to the county treasurer, for assign-’ moilt to the school fund. He will do so some more, before long, it is reported. Although a Democrat Mr. D.le.was not successful in hiding his peculations from ferreting Republican officers. ■ Possibly Mr. Selmyler Colfax did not receive any dividends from th j Credit Mobllier swindle; but he knew tire ring was organized and it was his duty as a public officer to protect the government from the designs of the scoundrels who -Composed that ring.- Agents of the ring approached Mr. Colfax with a bribeq which he did not feel at liberty to take, and his sense of . honor should have been fine enough ' to hwvcbrought grief to tfa fellews who insulted him by doubting his integrity. The fifth volume of The Rens selaeh Union closes with thedssue 'of Septimbcr 18.li. All patrons renewing their subscriptions at that time, paying up indebtedness and $2 in advance for IS?}, will be entitled to receive our paper free for the months of October, November and December, 1873, or three mouths for nothing. New patrons will receive as much for their money as old ones; that is to say, r.r.y person paying us $2 for subscription on or before the first of October next, will be entitled to the paper fifteen months. ~V " 1 1 ~ . The following resolutions passed by a convention of negroes in Ohio, afford the Democratic papers much joy. In fact-many-of-them have not assumed so hopeful a tune since the first battle of Bull Run: Resolved, That the colored voters of this State do not consider themselves . under eternal obligations to a party which favors us as a class only in pro- .. porti.cm.as 11 is driven by Its own necess: t li‘s. Resolved, That the colored men of the State are hereby urged to refrain from unconditionally pledging themselves to the nominees of their local Conventions, and that they use their best discrimination in,determining for themselves in each locality whom to vote for, or whether to vote at all. Among other drops of comfort dripping about for Democratic entomagemvut is the fact that Col. Mosby, ihe notorious rebel guerrilla, Las rei-ejitly signified his intention to act with the party that sympathized with the Southern people in their struggle for independence. For a while Gol. Mosl y was purring about Washington City, pretending —4o admire the principles advocated by Republicans, which caused our .Democratic friends, very much uneasiness, but his late announcement has restored glorious equilibrium to their minds. Old Bill Allen, as they call the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, blames President Grant for appointing tlmt bloody-handed rebel Longstreet to be collector of customs at New Orleans, for the benefit of theFedcfo' G overnment, (and jifstly, too, we think); but this same old Bill blamed General Grant because a few years before he prevented Longstreet and his friends from collecting custonfs in all the Southern States for the benefit of a rebel government. It is not because Longstreet was employed to collect revenue that Allen is displeased, but it is because he is made to collect it for the United Stales that the old fellow is so graveled. Remember that the Fair will be held next week, commencing Wednesday and continuing to Saturday evening. Every person interested in the - welfare of onr county should attend and give his mite to make it a success. Of course articles arc not exhibited so much for the purpose of contesting for the premiums offered as to show what careful and judicious cultivation and attention will prod A goed Fairdoesmore to advertise the industry of the people and the resources of the country than any thing else could do. It is the best possible advertisement. All who Uve.in Jasper county who are qualified to judge know that its soil is tmptiblc of being made to product

all kinds of gram, grasses, vegeta- j bles and fruit grown in its latitude; while for stock raising and.dairying it is not excelled by any locality in America. The mechanical arts are also well represented in the towns of Rensselaer and Remington, though on a small scale, owing to their infahey, and these should find a prominent place in the exhibition. It is our desire, for the good that will surely result, to see all the diversified industries of Jasper well represented next week. Let everybody make arrangements to attend, and bring their good stock, speci mens of their manufactored—and, produce from their farms, orchards, gardens and dairies. . A physician who came to Delphi last Spring and hung out a shingle, promising to cure ’’anything and everything,”-left last week for parts unknown. We have him down on our little book for several dollars worth—of printing. Delphi Times, The Times man has our sympathy in his misfortune. We know how

it is ourselves. Many a time and oft has the quack doctor came to Rensselaer, arrayed in more gorgeous splendor than Fremont’s body guard, and having got a little notice out of the Union would suddenly light out for parts unknown, and never say a word about paying for his little local. Indian doctors, root and herb doctors, doctors who have graduated in female colleges and doctors who haven’t, tape worm doctors, eye and ear doctors, old chronic doctors, &c., 4c., have all been served alike and they have all served us alike,. They get mad at iis, and swear, and cave around, get up on their long ears, and tell the hotel keepers if we are not suppressed that “traveling physicians will quit coming to ..this point.” The notice they get don’t seem to bring them any patients and they soon get up and tramp for some more favorable locality where there is no paper to molest or make them afraid They never return to Rensselaer, but shun the place as they would a man who had no money. But if the quacks fail to pay for their notices we are more than paid by. the knowledge that the little notice has saved to afflicted persons in this county a thousand times more than wo would charge any one. A consciousness of having done right is a sufficient reward.

The Kentland flax mill is in full blast. - Sweet potatoes 84 a bushel at Monticello. Drouth has injured the corn in Laporte county. The boiler for the paper mill at Monticello has arrived. Two hundred cases adorn the docket of the Lake county Circuit court. Rev. J. 11. Cissel was the recipient of a donation party, at South Bend, last week. There will be 5,000 tons of hay put up on the lands of one man in Lake county, this season. It requires 1,200 tons of ice to keep Laporte people cool during the summer months. Laporte county boasts of the possession of fourteen and a half millions of taxable property. There is talk of forming a new county from portions of St. Joseph, Laporte, Marshall and- Stark. The number of Granges organized in this State and reported up to August Ist, 1873, was 276. Rev. S. R. Johnson, D. D., founder of St. Mary's church at Delphi, died on the 13th of August. The heat was intense at Crown Point last week, the thermometer ranging from 96° to 102° in the shade. Logansport is still cursed (or blessed) with incendiary fires, which the authorities appear wholly unable to prevent.’ A Hobart firm manufactures 1,500,000 pressed brick every season, for which they realize sl6 a thousand delivered on the cars. The artesian well at the Michigan City penitentiary has reached a depth of nearly 400 feet. At §35 feet a strong vein of strong sulphur water was tapped. . ~w.-. Delphi has been the victim of several fires this year of our Lord 1873, but- the inhabitants atill bravely wear their stovepipes through the sides of summer kitchens and are not a bit afraid. The Fowler Clarion, is our authority for stating that more than 1,300 unhappy voters of Benton county desire to have the county seat removed from Oxford to Fowler. — They haven’t but 1,500 voters in the county, and it looks to an outside spectator as though the palmy days of Oxford were numbered.

Two German boys were playing with a pistol at Michigan City last wpek, when one of them, named Wilke, was accidentally shot in his forehead, the bullet penetrating his brain and causing a fatal wound. A terrific hail storm fell at Laporte on the 21st instant, knocking sky-liglits,out of buildings, smashing hot houses,- ruining pears, grapes and other fruits, spoiling gardens, corn fields, etc. The damage done in and about the city is placed at several thousand of dollars.

The engineer and fireman on the northward bound express train, over the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad, were drunk last Thursday, so the Francesville Local Topic says, and shot their tram into stations “like a ininnie ball at full velocity.” Last week in Clinton township, Cass county, some boys procured some powder out of a quarry and after setting fire to a stump threw some of it on the fire when a spark dropped into a hat full of powder which exploded, burning twoboys by the name of Simonds so that their recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Herron and Jennie Blount, of Bradford, White county, had a preliminary trial last week on the charge of attempting to kill Mr. J. C. Herron, and were bound over to the Circuit court for trial. Mr. Hen-on was arrested on the affidavit of Mrs. Herron, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, but was discharged by the justice. An ingenious Logansport mother as soon as she gets up in the morning daubs molasses on her little infant’s fingers, sits it on the floor in the corner of the room and gives it a feather to play with. The little darling commences to pull that feather off its fingers and continues to transfer it from one hand to another all day long, while its cunning mamma goes shopping, entertains company, or gossips with her neighbors without annoyance or care. It is true the flies collect in great numbers about the little one, but they don’t annoy its mother nor speck her dresses, and she is happy all day lohg. The Duiikers have purchased a lot on Water street, near Michigan avenue, on which they propose to erect a church the present season. —South Bend Union. Joel Parker harvested, this season, a forty acre field of wheat that averaged twenty-eight bushels to the acre, eleven hundred and twenty bushels.— Plymouth Democrat. Mr. Sol. Conn, who has the largest cranberry marsh in this section, informs us that a worm is destroying his berries, and that ho will not have anything like a crop.— Winamac Republican. It was not Rev. Appleman, of the Dunker, but Rev. Albert, of the Evangelical or Albright Church, who was egged some time since at Pretty Lake meeting house.—Plymouth Republican. A good looking young man, a stranger, called at the Mayor’s office yesterday morning, and offered to deposit five dollars, in consideration of which he wanted to get as drunk as he pleased.— Plymouth Republican. Our grain prospects are not the most flattering. There is a great deal of late corn-that will be far below an average yield. The oat crop is certainly very light. We doubt very much whether it will thresh out a half crop.— Lowell Star. The latter part of last week probably last Friday night, G, W. Lawrence, of this place, had thirteen horses shot, some two or three miles south of here. Three of them were found dead, and a fourth one was so. badly wounded that it was considered an act of mercy to kill it. Eight or nine were unmercifully peppered. We do not know whether the author of this lawless act is suspected or not. —Lowell Star. Bros. James & Healey, we remember that “old man in Rensselaer who recollects Events that transpired 365 years ago,” and also another one of your citizens, who, by the tales of his adventures by sea and land we have heard him relate, Is at least 200 years old, but when we spoke of that 120 year old man we meant that it was a good age for a man to live to who resided outside of , Pulaski or Jasper county. — Winamac Republican. Rev. H. H. Lipes preaeßes -hisfarewell sermon at the Baptist church, north side, next Sabbath evening. We are sorry to see Mr. Lipes leave Mishawaka, as he is an energetic, earnest worker, and a good citizen. As an instance of the amount of work done by him during the year which closes this week, we mention that he lias graduated from the Chicago Baptist Theological Seminary, traveled over 7,000 miles, preached 110 sermons, made 300 calls, and has brought 25 new members into the chtirch. If this does not entitle him to rank as a working Christian, we dpn’t know what Would.—Mishawaka Enterprise. <

A little excitement was raised in , Harmony,- Clay County, last week, by the attempt c?f a married woman, mother of four children, to clo.pe with another man, during the hbserice of her husband. The neighbors got -wind of the affair and stopped it. It is said that thchusband was anything but thankful for the interference.. The Laporte Camp meeting near Pine Lake was a very successful affair we are informed. The number in attendance last Sunday is estimated at about 5,000. An effort will be made to obtain the neccessary grounds and make Pine Lake Camp Meeting a permanent institution, after the manner of the celebrated one at Marthas-Vineyard (Mass.) We see no reason why this could not be accomplished. - Certainly there are but lew places in the State that havens beautiful grounds foimwliich are- as. convenient and ehsy Ol'-Tfccess TO he pub lie.— Michigan. City Enterprise. The prospects for the Chicago and South Atlantic railroad are now thought to be very encouraging. The annual meeting of tlie Stockholders of the Northern Branch (the I. D. & C. R. R.) will be held at Delphi bn next Wednesday, September 3d. A full attendance of the Stockholders is expeefo ed, and all interested citizens along the line are invited to be present. The great meeting of the line from Chicago to the sea, will beheld in Potter Palmer's’Grand Hotel, in Chicago, on the 9th day of October. Chicago is taking a deep interest in the construction of this road, and from present indications this will ; .be the grandest meeting that has -ever been held in the in_terest of any railroad enterprise.— Monticello Herald. A recent decision by the Attor-ney-General, and more recentlyconfirmed by a decision of the United States Circuit Court, makes it all important to those taking out insurance policies, that the Agents with whom they fosure have compl i<d with the law 'in re spect to filing a certificate of authority from the Auditor of State with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, of the county where they propose to do business. “The plain requirement,” says the Attorney General, ‘ is that each agent shall file the original certificate in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the county in which such agency is established.” A policy issued by any person who has not thus complied with the law, is void, and the person so issuing a policy is subject to criminal prosecution. A note given for a premium agreed to be paid for a policy issued by an unauthorized agent is also void. Agents, as well as those insuring, had better keep their eyes open in this matter.

Home Manufactures, and the Wabash & Lake Michigan Hallroad.

No doubt, the rates for railroad transportation are, in many instances, excessive to extortion, yet the people should not fail to remember that the great length of transportation—the distance between the producer and consumer—has a great deal, to do With this question. In the shipment of corn from Illinois to Boston 60 cents per bushel are added to itsjinee to the cosumer. Because of their smaller bulk, and greater proportionate value, manufactured articles taken west are not increased in price to the consumer in as great a proportion: yet, when we take the cost of trasportation both ways over thousands of miles of rail, or even water, with numerous transfers or changes of lines, no matter how reasonable the rates may be made by Congressional or other legislation, it will be found on an average nearly equal to the k cost of production. No matter what action Congress and State Legislatures may take in this matter, this result cannotJie greatly modifiedWhat then becomes our duty? Does it stop, or is it complete, with demands for eheaper“trrinspor(atidn and with efforts to regulate the extortion of middlemen? Doctors-w ho prescibe these as a panacea, have certainly failed in their diagnosis and they are as purely ignorant of the thorough treatment of the case. It is certainly true that the great distance between the producer and consumer, adds greatly to the market value of : any article to the consumer and ascertainly decreases its value proportionately to the producer. From this it follows that if we decrease the distance of transportation between the producer and consumer, we at least, give chance for increased pay to the producer and decrease in cost to the consumer. Then it follows that to decrease the distance of transportation is the only thorough remedy; and that cheap transportation ana co-operative handling to save the commissions of the middlemen are but temporary expedients. But how can this distance be decrease? How can the producer -and consumer be brought nearer together? In no other wvy but by a proper diversity of labor and capital. The factory must stand adjoining the farm house, while the reaper sings in the harvest field, near by the bfizz of machinery must be heard in the village or city. When the farmer can walk directly from” his fgjrm into the office of a factory and purchase his implements the trade of middlemen, like Othello’s, is,gone. When the mechanic can purchase his flour directly from the mill, and beef that never entered a railroad car, his cost of living will be greatly decreased, and hence, a ; corresponding decrease in the arti-

cte he manafaetures; or, if this decrease be not iirule, ail ability to pay the increased price for articles consumed by himself and family.— when the clothing worn by western families, is mainly wrought from the cotton fibre and snowy fleece, by western looms and spindles, When the implements of western farms are manufactured by western coal, iron, hammer and muscle; when the paper of- western books, magazines, walls and counters are made by the action of western acids on western rags and straw; when the rails that carry her heavy freight and lightning express trains over her fertile prairies, are produced from the coal that lies beneath and the ores of the intervening hills, when agriculture and manufacture, throughout the districts so oppressed by excessive rates of transportation, are made properly proportionate, the extortion of the middlemen will become a fable and the cost of transporting the surplus agricultural products of the west will no longer be burdensome even without legislative enactmeiit. But it may be answered that with the difference in the interest on money and cost of labor against the west this cannot be practical. This is a strong partial, but not a perfect objection. Besides, will the cost of labor and money become less in the west, or greater in the east proportionately without an effort? Will manufacturics grow up without an effort at encouragement? While we should not discourage the construction of additional through lines to the east, we should devote a proper effort toward tho opening of communication between the coal and iron fields of the west and her villages as well as her cities. Short and cross railroads bringing coal and lumber directly to the farmers and other consumers in bur at present “put of the way” villages and agricultural districts, thereby decreasing thecost of these articles and building up tories in the villages as well as in the cities of the west, are at pres-ent-among her public- necessities, and an effort expended on their construction strikes at the very heart of the matter of trausyortation. And such is the character of the proposed Wabash. «fc Lake Michigan road, and for tins Very reason it is of the greatest imporance to the districts along its route. The majority of the coal now used along its line Is shipped over 400 miles; it would decrease the - distance to 100. The 500 miles between this locality and any great iron furnace district make the manutacturing of iron and steel articles an impossibility. The cost of fuel along the line at present rates nukes the running of common grist mills precarious, and tho .abundant manufacture of lime from the abundant limestones an impossibility. The present condition of things along its Lino-maker such a road a certain public necessity. With a soil fertile it purchases its bread from other localities, because the cost of fuel will not allow grist and merchant mills to prosper on the soil where it is produced. With broad acres needing fences and countless herds needing barns to protect them and their food from the sun and storm, the sound of the saw and hammer is not heard because of the zig-zag rout to the pineries, and 500 miles of transportation for nails. The wagons, reapers, thieshers and other agricultural implements must be imported and their value in agricultural products at a low price exported and the cost of-transpor-tation paid both ways for the same "reason. No wonder there is a cry o! hard times among the farmers along the proposed line. To the citizens of Benton and Jasper counties this is the road needed above all others and with proper energy it may succeed. Will they make the proper effort, which if not exerted now, inay probably never be again possible? With the additional through connection .to,the cast it would give, and with coal for stove, forge and furnace, wi thin a hundred miles, .and the pineries within a hundred miles more, what a burden would be lifted from the citizens along its proposed route. — Remington Journal.
