THE RENSSELAER ONION. : .■>■ .... - Thursday, October 2, 1873.

A ohtfil was recently born in Davies county without a particle brain, so the papers say. In leaking over this district not many years since n man was found in liearly as destitute condition, and they elected him to Congress. * ■' * - - ' V '= r f ' ft is quite evident that if parita<taaintaiu their present-status Mr. (Joi-fn-x may ' become p'roniiiionl Jtfnong candidates far nomination to tin* l*residency in IT7G.— Michigan City Enterprise. * In 177 CV Consent. And George! Washington will be (VifTfifrT w uTv his little hatchet to meet- ;§ci.ioyigj| Colfax and his little Nesbitt. Roll backward, roll backward, O Time in thy flight. Jim Justice of Lognnsnort wants the people of that circuit to vote for him for- -prosecuting attorney. If he was ‘funning in this circuit he won hi, probably find a number of those I‘irrcspeetivo of n«rty u folks enquiring whether he would still appoint deputies to enter a nolle prvs-.-jiii against imlictnicnts Tit the old customary price of £•> caciyj. Because wo endeavored to spread a mantle of charity over certain foolish fault-finding about our county fair which lie had publish) and kindly invented a plausible excuse therefor, the. emasculated editor of the FranrrsviHc — Local Topic got inau at us. and last week inflicted n jcoiuiini of Biilh ;sgniu upon the innocent readers of bus I paper, making it the-occasion to publish his acquaintance with an Indianapolis courtesan. It. may bo ’ like eastingpearls before swine, 1. n t we venture to suggest that if that' young man would associate with ; such women less and quit using ! opium to excess,his perverted intellect might, after long and thorough disinfection, conceive ’less obscene thoughts. Our worthy and much .esteemed : German friend, John 11. Stoll who edits with signal ability that most ] excellent Democratic paper the Ligomer Banner, thinks it was nothing but “cussedncss’’ that prevented “those very consistent, Simon-pure and dyed-in-the-wool Democrats” voting the Liberal Republican ticket last year. And he believes “an occasional lecture to 6uch perverse Democrats” would be both appropriate and deserved. Now it may be possible that the gentleman’s defeat that year for Auditor of State may have some influence with him in making his verdict upon the propriety-of Democratic voters having eonseiwn-c§t but Brother Stoll is not the only aspirant for political favor that has felt disposed to quarrel with the consciences of men. . The Mon tied lo W onitlttkionaUst says The Eenssi:lai:i: Union and three or four other., papers “are rushing to the aid ct Ilnti in the war on Mr. Dale. F;\ ;;i the sine ultaneoushtss of {Tie movement on the pare of these journals it looks like a put up job,” l ire Constitutionalist is as apt in the science of prevarication as lion. Schuyler Colfax and full as cowe.rdlv. The testimony shows that upon investigation as provided for by an ast of the last Legts] attire, Attorney Gieneral Denny found that Daniel I). Dale, Clerk of White c-uunty, had neglected-to turn over to the State and tin- Treasurer of fill mlnnTyUUr the law requires, nearly $2,500 which had accumulated in his office from fines, unclaimed fees, etc.— We made note of this tact as an item of news with the comment" that “although a Democrat, Mr. Dale was not successful in hiding his peculations from ferreting Republican officials.” And it is simply because Mr. Date is a Democrat that the Constitutionalist Comes folds defense, for it hotvls long as a starveling wolf about rascality when the rascals are members of the Republican party. There is not a particle of honest principle in such a policy; and the paper that pursues it stultifies' itself, loses the confidence and respect of the people, and becomes an accessory after the fact to the’erimos it assists to hide. So far as we can see, there is no difference in the abstract principle which produces the Credit Mobiiier ring, the salary grabber who because lie lias power to do so pays himself twice for the same aervicer, and the man who attempts lo defraud the children of his State and county out of moneys set' apart for their education; unless the petty thief is most delestible. Neither can we see wherein one thief differs from another in infamy, simply because they may happen to vote a different ticket. In this While county matter the Moulicello Her-

ald is entitled’ to commendation ahd the .respect of honest men, not because it is Republican in politics, but because it dares to tc 11 the truth about a neighbor detected in :ui attempt to defraud the public ; schools. of the funds tlmt came into j his hands; while the Constitutionalist : is contemptible, not, because iOl* Democratic in politics, buLhccausc it assists a public official in trying <U cover up his attempted fraud. Will Tin: Union tell us who it favors for Congress? — Laporte Argus. Certainly, with pleasure; and not only that, but \vc will also tell you whom we th) not favor. The Union Savor an iioi,e:-t, iniejligent man from this district, for a change, it for no belter reason; and if the Arons has any such in its list ol acquaintances he is the identical individual we mean. lie is agnail with power to discern what, legislation is needed by bis constituents and best for the nation ; and he has the ability to advocate his views in i a manner la attract the consideration of thinking minds. If with the qualifications of honesty, intelli- | gence and mental strength lie associates the capacity and will to transact such private businesses may lie desired by individuals in bis district, without shifting the responsibility upon representatives from other district?, nor upon our Sen At- , ors, so much the better. The Union dices not .uni will not I TTvor the election o.f any mjnw 1 io~] is “not nliogetbvr clear ' thin thel "salary grab was vJrong.” We will not favor any man who thinks that : $5,000 per annum, without the frank and all other perquisites,**i& not suf- i ficient to maintain himselfand ilim- j ily at Washington three months in j the year, in a becoming style off JlapublumM smi;.U-ei-ty. We- -w-til | fiot IfiK)aiiigTy favor any man who, ' vrbd- a pubiie cfirecr charged with;; the welfare of the ration, can rest ; ■ -t his conscience and satisfy his sense of duty by not receiving “one lnm- j dred per nor one per cent., i nor the tenth of one per cent.” of i any'part of the dividends of a ring j whoso operations were known to bej ;-o equivocal as to threaten a law suit and dreaded exposure, when it 1 is plain he should "have taken pains to investigate whether or not that rips was swindling the Government. ] Other things being equal we pro- j Ter to favor for Congress one who is identified with the Republican party; but having voted for Scliuyi ter Colfax, Jasper Packard, Samuel : I. Anthony and John A. lien ricks j for Congress, the editors' of this i paper think they will not be oon- | trndicicd when they claim to- care i i much less fur party than for whatj ! they believe us honest and right. j

Hon. G. W. Julian, Hon Anson Wolcott and the Laporte Argus.

i Hon. Anson Wolcott has been ! troubled .for many years with a Con-’-j gressloiial bee humming in his bonnet, and fTls jibs said that lee hasmoimtetF , the back oT a Orange and hopes to ; ride safely to the flesh pots at Wasli- ! inuton by the aid of .tint JEanneisL I Movement. Wo know but little about i Mr.'. Wolcott but the ■fact that he lYaSs | been badly afflicted with 'the official- : itch for so many years would go far | to prove that lie is not the man for the times. . Whitt tlie country needs [is new men-—those who „ have never : been in official position to learn ibe ; tricks of the trade, and who are fresh j from tite people and understand the wants and interests of their const it tiI cuts. Old political hacks' have had j their day and should now take back .■ ea; s. —Ha 1 1< >rt Aruu s. [ hast week Hon. George' W. Julian I delivered a lengthy and carefully prepared speech at KockviMe, lud., on . thc.subjcct of ‘HScw'Tiiais'tif Ameri--11: a a Den wjc racy. The iio: ntsdfesusßod ■ i were tlur contest botweeJidhiepeopia and monopolies, including railroads, manufacturips, and banks; the evil j influence of .large oiih a p the fiiutuciaj; and political tendency of the Admin-" ! isTrafioj; toward centralization, and ‘ the political degeneracy Of the times. |He said, that "the . remedy is in the . abandonment of the old party organ!*' j zations; and the' formation of a new party to enable all farmers and work- : ingtuen to obtain their rights. The. only relief is in organization and legislation. Mr. Julian is unquestionably (.one of the ablest men and foremost ! statesmen of tiiis nation. We would disagree 'with him in many things, . but his view;* are cirtt tied m llie.gwst" e.-t consideration, for. aside from his acknowledged ability, his recognized honesty of purpose and stern integrity entitle him to an attentive' and thoughtful hearirlg from ail men who feel an interest ip the political future of the country.—Laporte Argus. The for egoi-ng quotations are a happy illustration of that bid story which used to be found in the back part of "Webster's Elementary Spelling Hook, about the unjust.judgc, when applied to politics, and conclusively sliow§ that it makes all the difference imaginable whose ox is being gored by the Farmers’ Move* ment. Both Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Julian are said to be members of the order of Patrons oi Husbandry; both are gentlemen of ability and culture; both have taken an interest in political affairs ; both have held office; and it is thought that neither would led at liberty to decline a nomination for . Congress, it tendered on an acceptable' platform with a reasonable prospect of an

election. But Mr. Julian is an ally of what is by courtesy called the Democratic party and is opposed lo President Grant’s, Administration, hence be possesses “acknowledged ability, honesty of purpose and stern integrity which entitle him lo an atteiikive. and thoughtful hearing from all men who feel an inti rest in ilk? political-future of the counj while on the other hand MfTl Wolcott has always been identified j with the Republican parly and j therefore “has been badly afflicted I with the official itch,” is an “old | . political hack,” has learned “the j tricks of__tha trade,” and is a tei ri- : blc set generally; so terrible, indeed* -tflirt-, notwithstanding he is at hqine in White eounty quietly minding the business of his farm, j and also-notwithstanding the con- ! fesbed ignorance of the Argtis i concerning him, he is considered a j 'legitimate object for the shafts of. Democratic hate. Although the A runs accepted the Cincinnati platform which virtually declared the principles of the old Democratic parly obsolete and no longer vital;

issues, and although the Argus, together with all its eunfruus that advocated the election of Mr. Greeley to the Presidency, expressed a fraternal solicitude to “shake hands across the bhvody chasm” and to “let by gones he bv-gones.” they do not seem to be able to wholly forget nor fully forgive. the woful castigations -repeatedly adminis- j torotl to tU<who Indued, under .; Democratic colors, and a venoimnt-s-j prejudice against prominent mein- j bers of the victorious party still . lurks in the secret recesses of their j hearts which will probably mani- j lest itself occasionally through j such -invidious attacks as long as , tho present gene ration lives jTlierev' is; a Ktrnii"; desire among -lire bet* tor, rfiore eonsrieiieious aud more , independent class of Republicans 1 to correct the abuses of power an i perversions of trust wrought by unworthy or incompetent men, and to puni sh Hi os c who; like the - alary j grabbers, are morally guilty of mal- j feasance in office though they may'! ' not have-violated any statute en- j aetment, but in order to attain their . purposes these independent -Repub : licans do not feel that it is yet': j. necessary to surrender their princi- | pies, or galvanize to file their old j enemy. When these men find that the Republic an party has pa-:-/ed ; • en+irtdy from liic control of honest purpose's, and has become the tool of rogues, they will leave it aud fofni a new organization which will j ■ attract to its Support the more in- • j dependent and honest portion of; ! the opposition; but they will not | join their fortunes to a band of j guerillas, without a loader, without j j positive principles and with no defined aims •higher than plunder anj th<> possession of office. And there is another thing that it might be well enough ior Deinocratic papers to know. It is that the Grange is ; a social, .and not a political, soeie- ! ty. . In this respect it bears strong ! resemblance to the Masonic and j j Odd Fellows orders. Perhaps when i this fact is generally recognized politicians and party papers' will cease to make so many ludicrous surmises about its -objects- and the aims of its members.

Woman Suffrage.

At the Methodist Conference in South Bend, last week, Bishop Simpson made a speech in favor of woman suffrage and took the ground that tlie evils of prostitution and intemperance "can never be overcome until women • are given tlie ballot. The Bishop evidently belongs to that el ass of superficial Thinkers who .-believe . all the ills of die world can be abolished by a few strokes of a pen, bulßisli- j op Simpson gives no good reason Tor the hope that*'is in him. We believe the woman of Utah and Wyoming .vote, but we have not heard that those communities are especially noted for their morality. There is a widespread suspicion that the irflfodnotion of women into the politics of the 1 ocal i ties meinti oned hasjhad a demoralizing effect, and the better class of all parties are Seriously thinking of retracing their steps and again restricting -suffrage to the males. Bishop Simpson and his lemale suffrage followers, who believe that.legislation can accomplish nitracTesTy" obliterating sucli evils,"as iutcMuperaneb should turn

-their attention to a certain temperance law enacted at the last session of the Indiana Legislature. This law if strictly enforced woiild entirely prohibit the sale of liquors in the, State, but it is simply impossible to enforce it, and the law is practically,a dead letter. There is more liquor sold in Indiana to-day than there was one ytpir ago- If it only required legislative enactment j to bring about the Millenium the j adoption of the Ten Command-1 inentß would settle the whole matter, but uhhapily, the effect of j legislation on the temperance question can be seen at home, and the idea that, because women would vote to make Btriiiqc.pt laws against cc rLa in evils that have e xistcd since the commencement of the world, the said evils would immediatel y disappear is simply childish twadj die and will be so considered by : every observer of the effect of our present temperance law. If the advocates of female suffrage arc e v er_goja;g to. succ e e d 'among intelligent people they must bring forward better arguments than those •for-shadowed by Bishop Simpson.— Prohibitory legislation on strictly moral questions is as ineffective as the Pope’s bull against the comet. All history lias taught this, and it is about time the advocates of women suffrage began to recognize the fact by treating moral questions from a purely moral standpoint.— Laporte Argus.

Free Love.

The .American Association of Spiritualists met in convention at Chicago last week, under, the presidency of Victoria Woodhull, the leading free-love apostle of America The convention vas composed of abo tit 2 Off do legates i nos t of whom endorsed the peculiar and repulsive views of their president, and reelected her to that office for the second time. There were some good men and women present who did not endorse the nastiness thrown to the. crowd by Mrs Woodhull, Mrs. Dr. Seaverancc," MtsT Owens, of Indianapolis, Dr. Blood, Messrs. Jamison, Randolph, and others, but strove by their voices and votes to. stem the tide of free- • love which dually overwlmbued the convention. There_uro two classes of spiritbelieving that free iovo must prevail before "Spiritualism can be rightly understood, the other repudiating in toto the pernicious doctrines practiced and taught hv Woodhull, Blood, Moses? Hall, ot al., and, through their organs 'are! dealing sledge-hammer blows in ; defense of what they claim to be [ pure Spiritualism. The hearty sympathy and good wishes of all \ those who recognize and revere the j marriage obligation will be accorded the 1 alter class off Spiritualists in their fight against lust and nastiness as embodied in the teachings ■ of Mrs. Woodhull and Rev. Moses 1 Hull. When the Chicago Times, a paper : supposed to be about as nasty and ! filthy ns can be found, unties with 1 the other Chicago papers in cor-1 demiting the works ami speeches off the convention,. our readers can safely conclude that the majority of the members of the convention were! a pretty hard set. The Times speaks | of the convention in the following 1 style: “The moral streams of Chicago ! arc running rather "muddy curren ts ; at present. One place of amusement 1 presents a couple of lorettos as the j principal characters in its leading ] play; another presents naked legs j and busts as its attractions, while j -the boss-bawd of the world draws iin-.j mence audiences to her queen performances. Marriage and chastity are publicly termed ‘scare crows,' and lecherous old scalawags applaud the utterance ‘to the echo.’— Where, in the name of all that is decent, are the police?” —Crown Point Register.
