THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, June 11,1874.

The average party newspaper in thla district is now kept busy publishing the pedigrees of candidates for Congress as they present themselves. Sonte of these “biographical sketches” read very much like a page of the American Stud Boole. lb a speech made at South Bend on Decoration Day, Hon. Schuyler Colfax said: “I recognize the heroism of those who fought against ns. I am willing to forgive and forget, I voted in Congress for a generous amnesty, bnt when it comes to strewing flowers, I am opposed to it.’’ Christ taught, If ye forgive men their trespasses, yonr heavenly Father will forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. One of the Valparaiso papers advooates for nominilion for Congress by the Republicans of this "district a gentleman by the name of Coffin, who has been treasurer of Porter county, and is no doubt a very nice man. Sometimes names have other significance than merely to designate individuals, and in this instance to those conversant with the political situation in Lake, Porter, Jasper, Newton and White counties it would seem to be an appropriate time for the Republican organization to select its Coflin. One of those frugal Congressmen who find $5,000 a year too small to procure the necessaries of life for a family of five persons in Washington City, has caused the following notice to be written and posted on the door of the postoffice in Rensselaer: The Secretary of the Navy having informed me that there is a vacancy in the Naval Academy for the Eleventh, (now Tenth) Congressional District of Indiana, applicants for the place are hereby requested to present themselves for examination before a board of examiners to be convened in Westville, Laporte county, on Tuesday, the 16th day of June, 1574. Candidates must be over fourteen and not over eighteen years of ago, and the person Who shall be found by the boani to possess in the highest degree, the requisite physical, moral and educational qualifications, will receive tire nomination of the Representative In Congress. On Thursday last, -the House, to tlie surprise of many, defeated the compromise financial bill of the Senate. The point in the bill was to increase the proportipn of notes redeemed from 25 to 40 per cent of the new notes issued, and releasing a large percentage of the bank reserves. The defeat was brought about by the impression that the bill under discussion did not meet the demands of the country. The matter has now been referred to a committee of conference and the probabilities are that no definite basis can be arranged that can receive tlie sanction of Congress. And all this time the country is suffering tlie throes of destroyed business, crippled manufacturles and prostrated commercial interests.—South Bend Register. Still, Grangers, stick to tlie old parties which now control Congress, and don’t have anything to do with politics, unless you go into cut-and-dried conventions and con■firm the manipulations of the friends of these same Congressmen-! If you are Democrats, beDemocrats still; if Republicans, “vindicate” salary grabbers and credit roobiliers! You see nearly all the leading spirits in Congress are Christian statesmen, With high notions of honor. If they want larger'salaries you must not object, but if you want more greenbacks it is very wicked and proves how sordid your natures are. Judge William C. Taleott lias bought tlie Valparaiso Vuielte of Aaron Gurney, and will hereafter devote his titne and talent to the' editorial management thereof. In bis introductory remarks, Judge Taleott says, “lie has always approved and supported the policy ot the Republican party in the main, so far as it differed from that of the Democratic; and though the Republican party has been so successful as to have decided in its favor nearly every point ot difference so thoroughly that Jieraocrats generally concede the point and accept the situation, yet from habit and association, as well as from the indications that the Republican party will be,.iu his estimation, as mnch nearer right than the other in the future, as in the past, he expects to support their organization and nominations, but with far less partisan zeal and exclusiveness than in former limes, when parties were so directly opposed to eaohother on the great question of liberty. No one should support a party in the wrong, and the doctrine of infallibilities, in churches, popes, councils, constitutions, law’s and authorities, is losing ground { to claim that a political party is always so infallibly right as to daserr* exclusive devotion to its men and measures, would, therefore, be behind the age.”

THE RAILROAD.

The" following letter has been received from the President of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad Company, which should receive prompt attention from the people of Jasper county : Montieello, -Inti., June 9. 1874. , Coi,. J. Hkai.kv: The question of making a loan was 'adjusted atDelphi. We held a spirited meeting here yesterday, and arranged the matter for this county. Messrs. Hughes, Kendal), and nearly nil of our wealthiest citizens have taken hold of the ma<ter in earliest, and have endorsed for the amount required of White county. Have just received encouraging news from Chicago.— The company will be ready in a few days (os soon as the negotiation .is effected) to commence work. They propose to commence at Dyer, on the State line, and Delphi, and work towards Rensselaer, grading, bridging, etc., for a double track road. lam assured they will be able to complete the road from Delphi to Chicago during the present year. All looks decidedly hopeful at present. I hope w T e will be able, during the present week, to settle all uncertainties and finish the negotiations alluded to above. If so, work will be commenced within tw’o weeks, and pushed forward to completion. I hope your people will be able to guarantee the road at least 67.5,000. This is a very reasppable amount for your county. Yours truly,

THE SAME OLD STORY!

A correspondent writing from Rensselaer to the Iventland Gazette under date of June 2d, furnishes tlie following precious information, which should be known by all the voters in Jasper county: -“Our primary election for nominations passed off here on Saturday. * * * * The vote was not full by any means, but full enough to slaughter the two office-seeking politicians who got up the movement. The huge part of the joke is that Horace E. James, candidate for Clerk, and John G. Culp, candidate for Auditor, who uere prime movers, as mentioned above, were both handsomely beaten,* and there is a general amen! among the people at the defcatrof these two demagogues. James bargained the Republican vote to Culp, and Culp bargained the Democratic vote to James, but neither were able to make the delivery. The movement was James’ and Culp’s eminently—not the peoplcs’-and both demagogues got beaten. Good enough. .“Independent.” Brother Culp will— now please rise up and join with us in singing Oh! ever thus from childhood’s hour I’ve seen my fondest hopes decay; I never loved a tree or flower, But ’twas the first to fade away. I never nursed a dear gazelle, To glad me with its soft black eye, But when it came to know me well, And love me, it was sure to die. After singing, iriends will getlicr around to take a last, fond, lingering look at tlie still, yet beautiful, forms of the loved and lost! •Willi three compctlloni in Uu own town Ship, Mr. James was beaten by a geutieSluu from another part o f the county 18 rotes in a poll of 788.

THREE PARTIES.

Reader do you believe the Indianapolis Journal is orthodox? Do you think that, like young George Washington or Schuyler Colfax, its editor cannot tell a lie? If you answer these conundrums in the affirmative will you please tell after reading the following extract from a recent editorial in that paper, whether tlie People’s Party is a Republican dodge or.a Democratic scheme? In regard to.JState,tickets it seems reasonably certain that there will be three in the field. The “farmers” who meet here next Wednesday, seem quite determined to nominate, and there is.no reason to doubt that they will, unless when they come together they shall see the impolicy of doing so before either of the political parties have acted. But this is hardly to be expected. Tlie movement is officered and engineered by men.of some political experience and large ambition, who for various reasons huve already cut loose from the Republican and Democratic parties, ot who are perfectly willing to do so, and it would not Comport with their plans for. the farmers’ convention to adjourn without nominating a State ticket, on which, of Course, each one of these restless agitators expects do find a place. It is a noteworthy fact that under the manipulations of these shrewd individuals, some of whom aspire to local and some to higher offices, the Granger movement seems to have quite lost its original and disvery large degree’, it is temporarily suspended; its non-political professions have been, for the time at least, laid aside; the well directed efforts to elevate the pursuit of agriculture and to increase its rewards have been suspended: Ceres, Flora. Pomona, and the other titles, are no longer heard of. instead of all this we have the open and avowed attempt to form a new-political party; a declaration that the present State administration must be changed, accompanied by the singular confession that the State never had an houester or better one, and a general conversion of a movement originated and headed by farmers for purely agricultural purposes into one officered and engineered by politicians for purely selfish epds. We assume it as certain, therefore, that the leaders of the farmers’ movement intend to nominate a. State ticket.

A FEW MALCONTENTS.

| We have It from a source altogether i intelligent and reliable, that the I “People’s movement” in Jasper counity consists almost exclusively of the • Democrats of the county, headed by Cols. Healey and James, and a few other malcontents. The Republicans as a body, take no stock in the concern.—Laporte Herald.* The Herald's intelligent snd reli. able source of political information in Jasper county % is certainly not a very well posted person. Like those

| intelligent contrabands that were jso numerous along (be Potomac I during the war, and so ready to ; r impart reliable information conI cerning military operations to I newspaper correspondents the 1 Iroquois contraband is not mfal- | lible, and bis (or her) statements i should be taken with trifling allow* I ance for prejudice and want of knowledge. Just at present the Herald seems to be trying to make amends for its lukewarm treatment of the Republican -party- during last Presidential campaign, and is also the warm advocate of a gentleman who aspires to be nominated for Congress by the Republicans of this district, and hence all that can be said by anybody not in full harmony, with that effete organization will probably have little effect upon its preformed opinion of the political situation in this or other portions of our Congressional district. Still for the benefit ot others who are interested in these matters the following facts may be suggestive: At the last genfival election in Jasper county the total vote polled was 1,556; for Secretary of State ' the Republican candidate received 995, and the Democratic .candidate 561, votes. At the People’s primary election on the 30th of last month 788 votes were polled—227 more than the entire Democratic vote, and a majority of all the votes in the county. Of these Hanging Grove township, which had a Republican majority of 15 arid a Democratic vote of 30, polled 46; Gillam, with a Republican majority of 09 and a Democratic vote of 25, polled 57; Walker with a Democratic majority of 3, and Democratic vote of 34. polled only 11; Barkley, with a Republican majority of 28, and a Democratic vote of 75, polled 111; Marion, with a Republican majority of 151, and a Demoocratic vote of 117, polled 193; Jordan, with a Republican majority of 13, and a Democratic vote of 34, polled 40; Newton, with a Republican majority of 16, and a Democratic vote of 42, polled 27; Keener, with a Republican majority of 19 and a Democratic vote of 7, polled 27j Kankakee, with a Republican majority of 4, and a Democratic vote of 27, polled 13; Wheatfield, with a Republican majority of 3, and aDemocratic vote of 17, polled 14; Carpenter, with a Republican majority of 100, and a Democratic vote of 117, polled 244; Milroy, with a. Democratic majority of 7 and a Democratic vote of 19, polled 27; Union, with a Republican majority of IS, and a Democratic vote of 18, polled 33. It will be seen that those townships which have the largest Democratic votes in nearly every instance polled the smallest proportion at the primary election. It is pos-siblc that “the Republicans, as a body, take no stock in the concern,” if by that term is meant the cabal kiiown here as \ : “the Court House ring” arid those with whom they are connected by church relations, ties of consanguinity, or in a rr ago. But it is true that many good, substantial men who have heretofore acted with the Republican \ party do not act with it now, and | will not this campaign, so far as county affairs arc concerned; and the names on tjje the poll books kept at the primary election disclose the fact that nearly two-thirds of all who participated in it, have heretofore vofed the Republican ticket.

W. S. HAYMOND.

For three or four weeks past people who had business to transact in Rensselaer, either in the stores or with tne county officers, have been accosted by the enemies of the .movement in Jasper copnty, and told frightful talcs about its being a scheme set on foot by the ancient Democracy assisted by a few designing, disappointed, soreheaded, office hunting traitors and demagogues from the Republican ranks lor the awful purpose of assisting the- old Democratic party into power. Over in Marshall county, where, at the last election, Governor Hendricks received a majority of 472 votes in a poll of 4,1718, the diabolical Grangers have set the political cauldron boiling exactly as they have done here, and now the Plymoutl* Democrat sits up on its hind lags and howls about it in the following vigorous raann'er: Now, if ever, it becomes the duty of ail Democrats to stand firmly by the old organization and' rally to its support the wavering and fainthearted. Never in the history Of the partv was a more persistent effort made to disorganize and destroy if; and the effort is being made by traitors in the camp working in the interests of, and under instructions from.'the common enemy— the Radical partv. Disap-

A REVOLUTION.

jiolnted office-seekers and chronic grumblers-, Irien who have always t failed to secure tin- confidence of the ; party, now profess to have discovered ! new lights, and cry aloud disband- | ment. In doing so they know they are merely playingJntq the hands of j the Radicals, and in many instances ! that is their sole purpose. The Radical party in tills [Marshall] county is well aware of its inability to secure cot color the affairs of the county With-. ; out securing the aid of some powerful , ally,and by promises of reward to a few self constituted leaders of the Farmers’ movement the real leaders of the Radical organization think to transfer into their camp a large numj her of Democratic voters and thereby f place themselves, apd the tools with j whom they work, into profitable , positions. j Such is the shriek in Democratic ! Marshall county. Transpose the words Democrat and Radical in this quotation, and substitute Jasper for Marshall, arid you have the average court house wail as it’ heard in this locality. Office holders are standing in their own light all over the country. They mistake the temper of the voting masses; and they do not comprehend the significance of this mighty, spontaneous, almost universal movement. Today the United States is the theater of a political revolution, fully as important as that which swept away slavery. Tlie problem solved by that revolution was, Shall capital own labor? The issue now is, Shall capital pay labor? To reach a solution of this problem upon equitable terms the laboring elements must be properly represented in State legislatures and in Congress. Hence the force of this revolution is not aimed against county officers. They are not the enemy, but only his videttes and skirmish line. The game sought is larger. The people mean to wage war upon corrupt legislatures which make taws that discriminate against the-pdor man and the laboring classes; legislatures controlled by corporations, monopolies and rings, where money is the great motor power, and where money must be used to procure the passage of needed laws. There is no use to ask justice or fairness of sordid men who evade constitutions in order to increase their own pay, because these elements are not in their breasts. Legislatures which increase the pay of public officers when there is no occasion requiring it to be done, and legislatures which increase the burdens of taxation inordinately, are not friendly to the interests of the people, and it Is the sheerest folly to keep tUera hv power and look fov thorn -.to make wholesome laws. Congress, also must bo renovated. Credit inobilier rings flourish, thrive and fatten only in corrupt atmosphere. The men who go into such schemes are sordid, selfish, and mean; they aspire only to increase their own wealth and are unscrupulous about the means usc.d to accomplish their purposes. Members of Congress who cVunsel with these rings, take presents from them, and keep their veiy existence hidden from the public, until the truth is wrung from their unwilling lips, word by word, by the most searching questions of investigating committees, are not friends of the people, no matter what their hypocritical pretensions to honesty, morality and religion may be, or how often they appear occupying chief place In synagogues and forums. Congresses which grant subsidies to railroad and steamship companies, and pass laws inimical to competition in the .business of trauspprtation, do not have the public good at heart. — Congressmen who ste.al back pay, and who vote to squauder millions of dollars in Centennial fuss ami and Congressmen who cannot live on a salary of $5,000 per annum, when times are hard, taxes high and the nation in debt, are not fit to represent a people demanding reform" and retrenchment. These men do not sympathize with the toiling millions in any manner. They do not understand them, and cannot make ■proper laws to govern them. Congressmen of that stamp have no ideas of republican simplicity as practiced at Washington fifty years ago, and demanded by the necessities of the hour. No political organization can truthfully claim to represent the laboring classes, which recognizes as its head aud leader an extravagant and luxurious President. No previous occupant of the White House ever dared to outrage the theory of republicanism 1 , as applied to social life, as President Grant has done. He is no longer the friend of the laboring men whose votes elected him to office, but be i hal deserted them, betrayed their interests and become the willing, sycophantic tool of a contemptible ■money aristocracy. There is no longer any use of people holding to, or voting with,

cither of the political organizations whose representatives now control legislation, and divide the spoils.— Both are simply dishonored tools managed by. men having only their personal ends in vievv ; neither loots after the welfare of the people. The day has come for honesty and intelligent men to ignore the narrow bounds of party lines, and unite together for the common good. Our co.untry is not in jeopardy of invasion by a foreign foe, nor is it threatened with civil war ; but peace lias her dangers no less than her victories,and the struggle of the hour is to resist the attempt of money—in the form of eorpitra- ! tions and rings—to oppress the i bone and sinew of our land.— i Opulence is haughty and tyrannical, I it is mean and unscrupulous ; it is I also powerful and its hireling allies I are*numerous. Nearly every important journal in the United States opposes this movement in the interest of the laboring masses because they do not understand the temper of the people, and because the revolution has not progressed far enough to indicate the result with certainty; nearly all of the abler politicians stand aloof for the same reasons. But these circumstances need discourage no one, for careful investigation is all that is required to convince any reasonable unprejudiced person where the right is, and the right must ultimately triumph. Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again, - —r- . . The eternal years of God are hers. In Democratic communities, Democratic ringmasters will say the movement is of Republican origin, in Republican sections Republicans will call it Democratic, while in still o(her places, as in Oregon for instance, both effete parties will join hands, just as they have frequently done in Congress and in the Indiana legislature, to thwart the interests of the people. But these cries and efforts will certainly be in vain. A few may he frightened by threats, and a few cajoled by promises, but the majority have a clear vision of their own interests, and now are determined to look well after them. For many years these cures were delegated to that class of middlemen known as wire-workers, convention manipulators and party leaders, and they betrayed their trust. The day of reckoning is now at hand, when the unworthy are to be separated out and caused -to-step -aside; arid it is foolishness to stand in the way and attempt to heat down popular sentiment, or intimidate by. cracking party whips.’
