Mr. David J. Thompson will get his ‘copy of The Rensselaer Union at Duluth, Minnesota, this week. The Union is not very large, but like a young widow we used to hug it is oh, so good I Subscription price only S 2 a year. A change in the proprietorship of this office is contemplated, which, if effected at all, will take place in a few days. Those who are indebted to the firm of James & Healey will please make arrangements to settle upon demand. t)r. Moses B. Alter was installed Noble Grand of Iroquois Lodge No. 143, I. O. O.

Thompson and daughter” represented the Rensselaer Union at the Northern Indiana Editorial Association at Laporte last week. As Simon has been passing himself for a bachelor for the fifteen years that he has made Rensselaer his home, it will be in order for him to rise and explain about that daughter when he returns. The Jasper County Ditching Company’s appraisers, or, rather, the gentlemen appointed by the commissioners of Jasper county to appraise benefits and damages to lands that will accrue from the proposed work of said ditching company, expect to complete their labors this week. The schedule prepared by these gentlemen will afford interesting reading to those who own land in that region. According to the sew postal law, jthis provision of which went into .effect on the first day of the -present jifonth—July, 1874—newpapers may - be circulated free of postage through £he mails In the county wherein they lire Those patrons of the Union who have prepaid postage on it for the present quarter to the post at Rensselaer, Remington or Pleasant Grove are entitled to have their money refunded upon making application therefor to the officer who collectedit.

Mrs. H. B. Miller will do embroidering and fine sewing. Samples of her work done for Mrs. Burnham, are pronounced very nice by those competent to judge of such things. W. AV. Foster, formerly in the marble business, is now engaged in the lumber trade. His lumber yard is east of Butler & Burger’s, Remington, Indiana, where he has a brisk trade. Those who favor competition should call ob him. Success to him. Having sold the thoroughbred bull I recently bought at Waukegan, my old bull will be brought home again from Mr. A. K. Yeoman’s farm.

THE IWTER-OCKAM. IS7». 187-1. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. THE INTER-OCEAN VOX*. 1874. Established less than two years since ss n representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and d' fend the .principles and organization of the great National Republican party, the IsTtH-OCEAM has attained s circulation and influence with the masses of its voters everywhere te entitle it to approach the commencement of a new calendar year and to prepare for the preliminary work of the next campaign, the shadow of which is already casting itself upon the country, in the confid/nt belief that its Iriends will need no other specific pledge for the 'uture tliau lias been given in its columns from day to day during the past eighteen months Since its first publication it has maintained the position of THE LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS THE NORTHWEST, to which it Was assigned by universal assent, in the excited canvass which resulted in the second and triumphant election of President Graaf. THE ENEMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, the opposition are skillfully massing their forces far a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organization at the next State and National elections. Encouraged by the apathy of Republicans in the “offyear,” seizing the unprecedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hoodwink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het’er and cheaper modes of transportation tlian now exist. THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hnngry Demagogues eager for office, is geUing itself into readiness to become once more the Ruling Party of the nation. IN THE SOUTH the old Drmocracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed iulo life by thoapparent reverses Republicanism has suffered in the North. The election of Allen iu Ohio, the triumph of Tammany in New York, and the few desultory successes which have come to Anti-Republican tickets in various portions of the West and Northwest, have inspired the rebels of 18F1 with the hope that the day is dawn! ug wheu the Lost Cause is to be voted iulo a victory they failed to achieve by means of the bulletaud bayonet. Already R. M.T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia,'and a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has published his scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South. The Richmond (Va.) Whiy and Governor Gilbert Walker are urging thufplan with all pertinacity; and there can oe liltlcdoub*tint a large party of Soitlberu Representatives in tho Forty-thiid Congress will be prepared to advocate the payment of this money by the General Government. The past history of the Democratic party gives no warrant thal it will oppose this infamous robbery of the' people of tho North for thebenefitof traitors: but if the party is true to (itself and its instincts, the South will find it and itsrepresentatives a subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT is another scheme that is broadly hinted at in many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the leadDemocrats of that section would address themselves if the time should ever come when a majority of the Northern' States and the General Government should be in the hands of the party which helped the rebels in their work of destroying the Union. These are not fanciful issues. They are real dangers, either to be met face to face, or else to be squelched iu their inception by the continued successes of that orgaaizatioa which crushed tho rebellion, gave freedom to the slaves, and destroyed the slave-bolding Confederacy. THE FARMERS know that the Intzii-Ocian was their earliest, as it has been their staunchest and warmeat, friend. It is emphatically the organ of the people in the beat sense of the term, believing in the fullest protection of the rights of the many against the encroachments of tlie few. It believes that all chartered corporations should be held to be subservient to the power that, created them, and without an infringement of the just rights of others it insists, and will continue to insist, that all corporations enjoying special privileges voted to them by the people shall serve the people fairly and justly-at » compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon the actual capital employed. THE FAMILY. The Intbb-Ockan makes special efforts to render itself acceptable to the fatal lies of its patrous.
