Jig RENSSELAER UNION.

Thursday, July 16. 1874

. The later Ocean says that the Chicago Jk South Atlantic Kailway Company have secured the right of Way from Chicago twenty-two miles southward, through Bine Island tc Thornton. W» learn from the Rensselaer Union that a change ill the proprietorship of that paper is contemplated in a few days. The Union, we suppose, in that .event will again take position ns ■ radical journal.—Montieello Constitutionalist, Tub Union is net a dog to return to the vomit, nor a sow to wallow in Democratic mire. The treasurer of Lapnrto county collects interest on the temporary loans and deposits of public funds that come into his possession and accounts to the county for said interest This treasurer is a sad Democratic dog of a fellow, hut it ' is consoling to know that his pernicious example is not being adopted very extensively by his Republican brethren in the State. Jasper county has three Republican commissioners who have ever refused to accept more than four dollars per day for their services, notwithstanding a Legislature of Republicans and Democrats that was pledged to economy and reform said they might have live dollars. Thus far wc have not heard that their contumacious example has been adopted in other counties. The commissioners of Pulaski county recently ordered that hereafter all persons who need relief from the county shall be removed to the county asylum, if practicable to be moved there. The board of commissioners of Jasper county might, perhaps, take a valuable hint from this order—a bint which would result in materially lessening our county expenses and the necessity ior keeping up its present exorbitant fax levy. . V. Chicago suffered another terrible fire calamity on Tuesday. With the exception of the great fire of 1871, it was the most devastating that ever scourged that city. Fifteen blocks of buildings were burnt, covering an area of nearly twenty acres. A thousand dwellings were consumed, five or six thousand persons were made homeless, and four millions of property was destroyed. The desolated portion is south of that swept over by the conflagration of 1871. The office of General in the array is a sinecure that was created by a Republican Congress, The emoluments of that office are 818,000 per annum ; the duties are nothing —absolutely nothing. What need has a republic for such titled paupers ? Why was the office created ? Is it not a menace to popular liberty? Why can not the office be abolished ? The expenses attending' it, if economically applied, would nearly maintain the President’s stable.

The Wins mac Republican is n’t a bit afraid of the newspaper gig Jaw recently passed by a Republican Congress and approved by a Republican President. Like the old gentleman who declared he would stay under the bed whither his better half had driven him to escape the vigorous application of the family disciplinator, “as long as the spirit of a man remains in me,” Reiser will be bold to boast, but will take mighty goon care not to expose his little head by criticising the villainy of his masters. The Uniox last week a blunder done Mr. Babcock an injustice of about 9§ per cent., in the article on county finances for last year. There are 92 counties in the State, 48 Democratic and 44 Republican According to data published in the Indianapolis Journal , and taken from the books of the Auditor of State, 79 of these counties—--40 Republican and SO Democratic—bad lower levies for local purposes than *the people of Jasper were compelled to pay. According to the authority before mentioned, our county waa assessed $1.33 on each SIOO of valuation for aggregate local purposes, while the average in the other 01 bounties of the State waa a trifling fraction over 98§ cents. This makes the levies iu Jasper last year 34f cents ,on the SIOO, or $3,43 on the SI,OOO, higher thsn the average; yet from Mr. Babcock's report to the board of commissioners the casual reader would understand that taxes for expenditure within the comity were “below the average in the State hut year.” There are only two Uepublicau counties in Indiana

where taxes were higher than in Jasper, and in thirty-nine Demoj cralic counties they were lower; else the Indianapolis Journal is nvistakeii, and the Inter Ocean is deceived. ' I There is no paper in the State widt h we read with greater interest than the Rensselaer Union. It Is always full ; of good things, and they are told in a ; vigorous and entertaining way.— Laporte Argus. | Subscription jiricc a year jn 1 advance. It is a pity the Argus is so perverse, so stiff necked, and so i wedded to the'fallacies of Bourj hon’HUH-Hthftt it cannot “profit limit" | the liberal teachings of these colj uinns! Cast off the party shackles i which like an incubus bow you I • J • down groveling m the dust of Democracy. Arise, wash away the pollutions of error, clothe yourself in a clean new garment, and with thy head anointed with sweet smelling ointments of myrrh, and roses, and spikenard, go, up arid down among the toiling children of earth like unto a comely maiden, a thing of beauty ami a joy forever. Neither do we condemn thee: Go, sin no more!

Elections have been ordered in Cedar Creek and West Creek townships, Lake county, to be held on Saturday, the 15th day of August, 1874, for the purpose of voting upon a pioposition to take stock for each township to the extent of s<,ooo in aid ot the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago Railroad company, to be paid when a train of cars is run into the corporation limits of the town of Lowell and a depot is built therein. The Lowell Star says that in addition to this proposed tax they are also obtaining liberal private subscriptions It thinks there is a very fair prospect to construct and equip the road between Lowell and Dyer, ready for business, in season to. make shipments of their produce this coming falhr-within three short months lrom the time of holding the election, providing they vote for the proposition.

The Francesville Home Banner is : | now a beautiful six column paper, and is published weekly. Its con- j duct is marked with ability iuid enterprise that should be rewarded with generous support. There is not to our knowledge a young editor in the State who develops better judgment in managing a paper of 1 ocal interest.. In speaking of the, nominations for Congress to be made in this district, Brother Mattingly warmly advocates the claims of the southern portion for the honor, and intimates that if these claims are ignored and treated with contempt “unpleasant surprises” may follow, for, he says, “No portion of the district will allow itself to be snubbed with impunity this year. The people are getting into a new and troublesome habit of looking after the proceedings of their public servants, and packed and wire pulled conventions will find in the coming canvass few to respect their decisions.” Mr. Ira W. yeoman -was in our place last Friday and paid us a friendly call. Mr. Yeoman appears to be a very fine man. and will no doubt do 'justice to the office for which he is a candidate, if elected.—Francesville Banner. •* ——— -——~ —r The office of Prosecuting Attorney is one of great importance, and should be tilled by the best legal talent that can be induced- to- take it Upon the integrity, industry, legal attainments and talent of the prosecutor depends the vindication of of the law, the punishment of criminals, and the security ol property and life. No partisan feeling, local jealousy, or mere personal preference should be permitted to have weight in the choice of this officer. Mr. Thompson, Mr. Yeoman and Mr. Martin are all so well known in this county that a discussion , of their individual qualification would be superfluous at this time; they each recognize the almost universal disposition of the people to ignore old party distinctions, and judiciously refrain from courting party nomination.

The young man who edits the Rensselaer Union talks about back bone in his last issue. There is richness in that! The idea of an editor who can eat his own wordsto save his hide from a tanning at the hands of the sister of a young man whom lie had slandered, talkinghbout a lack of back bone among other editors of this Congressional district is laughable.— An editor who will pen an article writing himself down as a falsifier has as little back bone as any animal the Almighty ever allowed to crawl upon the face of the earth; and for i him to sign a ficticious name to the ; article, and thus try to deceive his ; readers and cover up his littleness, I only adds to the weight of the testi- | mony against him. Bah! Horace, I don’t t*y to make people who have known you for years believe you are so much better than other mortals. There is not even the suspicion of a shadow of truth in your innuendoes, Mr. Jacob ITriser, and

those in this community who read them will be at loss to-’conjecture what is meant. No young man pi' other person was ever slandered in these columns; no ybung man's sister or other female ever lurked about here with a tanvat for an editor of this paper, and never before did we hear such a’ thing intimated ; nobody connected with thih office ever wrote himself down as a falsifier, or appended, a fictitious signature to an editorial production; neither was Horace ever persuaded by the United States to make restWtt-toii--fe4--fibsU age stamps or other public property misappropriated to his personal use. But all ol this is foreign to the propositions which drew* it forth.— The Plymouth convunlion Iwo years ago was a disgraceful fraud; its nominee was an arrant trickster, and a dishonest salary grabber ; the Winamac Republican, Kentland Gazette and Montieello Herald are controlled by government patronage, and their, venal editors Iravc not the moral, courage to stand up manfully and den dunce chicanery, intrigue and corruption iu the Republican party. Not only are these statements iiudisputable facts, but the Republican, the Gazette and the Herald add to their obliquity by persistently slandering- the editors of The Union because they are not respecters of persons but dare rebuke those guilty of political or official wrong, “even when practiced by the professed supporters’’ of the government. -

The Industrial Bulletin , a Republican paper published at Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and a warm admirer of Hon. Win. I). Kelley, who is considered one of the ablest representatives ot Republican views in Congress, sounds the following lugubrious notes over the political outlook: We hope that the manufacturers and workingmen of the country will understand that their vague desire of some help from Congress lias been wholly misplaced, and that no bench- j ciabaction up«n the Tariff’ or the j currency need be expected. In many . of the industries there is not work at | tliis time for one-half of the men they I usually employ, and there is little j prospect of improvement. * * The i expectation that times would present i ]y improve, is no longer entertained, j and we fear that, much as we have ! come down, we have not-vet finished the descent, and that it will be after many struggles and much distress that the bottom will be reached. There is more. discontent in tlie .country to-*iv than at any Time within our rcconcction. We foresee Ihat partv traditions and party fealty will have little weight in the coming political campaign. The struggle on the one side to get power, and on the other to retain it, will lie more intense and more nearly equal, than at any time since the close of the war,for the reason that theoiitswili not hesitate to-put themselves upon the popular side of the currency tpiostion, and will-carry with them a vast muss of discontented voters who have heretofore acted with the majority. Who is to blame for the languishing of the industrial interests of our country, and the depression of business? Who have controlled Congressional legislation for thirteen years, that. Republican papers should say “There is more discontent in the country to-day than at any time within our recollection?” If the Democratic party is responsible for it, turn it out of power. If Democratic Congressmen will not make the right kind of a tariff, elect Republicans in their place’s. If a D einocratic President will veto all your sound currency measures, succeed him with a Republican. The Union was. educated to think that a 1 bgolitical evils origipalo i.ii "tire" Democratic party, and that perfection is only found among Republicans; hence, we say, get these scoundrelly Democratic majorities out of Congress, and' let us not elect another profligate pemoeralie horse jockey" to the Presidential chair. — President Raymond received a letter from Lowell, Lake county, last Monday, in which the waiter says that work on the new railroad is progressing satisfactorily, and that stock is being subscribed at a lively rate in Lake county. An intense interest is manifested in that locality since the work began, and we anticipate a like interest ; will be shown all along the line as the work progresses. Montieello Herald. Mr. Morris Nagle, of Montieello, who once bossed a hash factory in , Rensselaer, plucked the American I eagle and scattered its feathers. , over the people at Francesville, on i the 4th' instant; —that is to say, he delivered a Fourth of July oration at that place. j A stage, freight and express line ! ! was opened from this point on the; first instant.

Public Improvements Contemplated.

I". Editors Union: —In your issue j of July Oth, you say: | Benton county, with a ! court ljouse In process of erection, is i only taxed forty cents on the SIOO valuation ; (.while Jasper county, out of debt, and no public improvements contemplated, is assessed fifty cents on the SIOO. is,the re any gooa reason . for making the levy so high in Jasper - county ? As one of the Commissioners of Jasper county, I think it my duty to explain. In regard to the $50,000 court house of Benton county, Mr. Fowler agreed to donate $40,000 provided the county scat was removed to Fowler, which was done. In the second place, the Board of I Commissioners did contemplate • public Improvements, and this is I the reason why the levy was more j than thirty-five cents on the SIOO. ; We tried to make the levy so as to | set apart fifteen cents on the SIOO ; for the purpose of building bridges, but could not do it legally.— At least four new iron bridges are demanded, and I think they are needed and ought to be built as soon as there, is money in the treasury to pay for them.

Laporte, South Bend, and Put-in-Bay.

South Bend, Jxdij 6, 1874. Editors ok Union : The new postal route was passed over in the usual monotonous way. Thursday was spent leisurely in the quiet villages of Francesville and Medaryville. Reached Laporte at 1 o’clock a. Jr. on Friday, and consigned my drowsy body to a couch in the Teegarden hotel. After breakfast, toak a drive through the city. Unbroken rows of sugar maple protect the streets from the unpleasant glare of a summer sun ; this profusion of shade mellows the the sunshine, and, on a hot day, serves as an elixir to build up an Eden in one’s heart. Laporte is, in the true sense, a beautiful city. It is now bountifully jm.ppH.cd with pure water, from Lilly lake, by j means of the Holly system of ! water works. The chain of lakes ; to the north, flanking the city east f and west, makes it ’ a piesant... re- : sort during the heated term. By I tlie - benefaction ot —L A. Cole, j Esq,, we were shown many places j of interest, and visited the -lakes; I The public cemetery and city librafry, both under the fostering care i of tfeH-, -J-oseph- Orr i -are grand—ah fairs in, their line. At noon wc repaired to a grove on the northcast side of Clear lake, and .par took. I of the festal bounties of file oeeaj sion. It was truly a feast of the ! palate, well spiced with wit, and a season suppliiiieiiting a flow of soul and sympathy. A good meal is a means of grace to the heart,.and a spur to greatness. The editorial fraternity gave us the hand of welcome. Our he spend an trip was a sort of prophet to new pleasantries and the afternoon was, briefly, busy

and pleasant. Among my newly ruade acquaintances was Rev. George C- Ilaiding, of Indianapolis,. f - lie is called “Rev.” because lie is the wicked-, est man. Also Laura Rfhm, a maiden lady, comely and careworn, with a piercingly clear, cold grey eye—a keen observer, and a shrewd news gatherer for the Cincinnati Commercial. The Lnporte Herald in publishing the list of persons present ut ti e banquet oh Thursday evening, was very inaccurate. I was not then in the city. I suppose you have read the account, and can explain on whom the joke rests most chruslnngly. Florence enjoyed the day highly, with its boating, croquet and other amusements, and at 8 o’clock p. in., we came to this city. Soutlidlend is spoken of by politicians as the home of Mr. Colfax. A Roman Catholic mentions first Notre Darije and St. Mary’s. The mechanic talks about Studebaker’s wagon and carriage factory, one of the largest in the world. There was no regular Fourth of July celebration here. The morning, delightful, was ushered in with ring, shout, clang, snap,-bang, crack, rumble and uproar of iu> unusual style. Iq the afternoon we visited a printing office and saw one of Potter’s stejim presses at work.— Then we called at the engine house of Flander’s patent water works. The boak, took great pains to explain to us the abundant excellencies 6f the system. Their engines are driven by water power, with a pressure sufficient to throw a stream 175 feet high in any part of the city. Then we took a drive, calling at Notre Dame and St. Mary’s. It is now college vacation, and only a few students remain. However there wire a few Mexican and South American, boys wljo stay during the summer vacation. The

college campus Is splendidly ordered, and the buildidgs are capacious. The largest bell in the United States has been placed iii position at Notre Dame; it can be heard nine miles. Returning to the city, we drove by the home of Schuyler Colfax, a modest Gottage on the corner of Walnut and Monroe streets; Mrs. Colfax nodded gracefully as we passed. South Bend is much larger than Laporte, but is not so pleasantly located. I have heard nothing of moment said upon politics. Many of your friends have inquired kindly after you, and I gave them assurance that you Were both doing well. John B. Stoll fs the same good natured Dutchman.— Billy Bean and consort have a bran new babyT Sims Major was long since married, and a little Major, twenty months old, assists in commanding the family. There were no representatives at the Editorial Association front the Southwest. Hoping that The Uniox may ever prosper, and become so essential to happiness that the average Jasperite cannot do without it, I am truly yours, S. P. Thompson.

Detroit, Mich., July 9, 1874. Editors Union : Our trip has extended to Toledo, the American Islands in Lake Erie, and to this city. I was fearful lest the motion of the boat would cause sea-sickness, but "have never telt clearer and healthier in my life than when upon the water. Put-in-Bay, and the islands near by, constitute a popular summer resort for those who have money, and the desire to spend it. The bay was so named from the circumstance that Commodore Perry put in there with his fleet for repairs after his victory over the British lake squadron. A weeping willow at the landing pier marks the resting place of the sailors who perished in the battle. It was there that the great Commodorepenned his celebrated dispatch which has become famous throughoat the world as a model for others —‘ We have-met the enemy and he is ours.” Daily excursion steamers run ironic Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit, and return. The three encircling islands are called South, Middle and North Bass, l from the plentitudo of the fish catl- !' ed black bass whirl) abound .in the

'surroumlrng; waters, The reels around these islands are renowned over the world as fishing grounds. The hotels there are-spacious and well kept. Boating and balhcing arrangements are excellent-, -and the scenery is delightful. Among the natural curiosities is Terry’s cave, in which terre firm a can lie invaded some three hundred or four hundred feet, thirty to forty feet below the surface. In this cave are mineral curiosities excellent spring water. Gibraltar Island, the summer residence of Jay Cooke, is a precipitous and picturesque island of about four acres in extent, one half a mile from South Bass. We met Chief Justice Waite, General Swayne, and other more or less noted persons enjoying the pleasures of these insular scenes. W e arrived at Detroit tins morning and are.debating the propriety of going further, ■ -••—• Have not seen a copy of The

Do not be Deceived.

The newspapers all over the country are reporting large and fine crops of wheat. This may be a dodge of the grain buyers to lower the price when the crop begins to flow into market, enabling them to buy it in cheap and sell at a good advance when the true amount of the crop becomes known. From numerous inquiries we have made of farmers from all parts of the State, we arc satisfied that the yield will not be more than an average in Indiana, and many good judges think it will be considerably less. We hear of many fields which were expected to yield twenty bushels to the acre two weeks ago, that have been attacked by the chinch bug and the rust, and will fall short of the expected amount by ten or twelve bushels. This is the case in many of our best wheat growing sections. Isis to be presumed that the same enemies to the crop havo been at work in other parts of the country, and if so, the crop will fall considerably below the average instead of going above it, as the grain buyers would have us believe. While we do not expect that wheat will bring a high price this we do believe, it . farmers are not in too great haste to sell and force the crop upon the market, that it will bring a fair paying -return. — Indiana Funner.

The Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad.

The building of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad has developed into a tangible scheme, which has undoubtedly matured to an absojute probability of early completion. Tor many months this scheme has attracted the attention of our people, especially since it has been merged with the well known proposition of years ago to build the Delphi & Indianapolis road, which line was once surveyed through Lowell. Communication has been kept up for months with President Raymond, and he has kindly notified us from time to time of the progress of the scheme. — But still nothing was developed till within a few w eeks since, calculated to inspire the people with earnestness. Some three weeks since, a speeial invitation was sent to attend a meeting of the directors of the road, at Delphi. The matter being laid before our people, Messrs. Jabez Clark, J. W. Viant, J. H. Sanger, O. Taylor and H. Wason, concluded to go down to Delphi and see what could be done. The news they brought back was most encouraging. It was found that the company had been hard at work, and that in spite of all opposition and lukewarmness toward the enterprise, they had made wonderful strides, under the supervision of President Haymond, toward bringing the great enterprise to a successful issue. They had reassured the people that the company was working in good faith in the matter, and had really raised immense subsidies in White and Carroll counties, and were perfecting plans for immediate construction of this great line. Nothing however, was accomplished till last week. The advent of Mr. Halstead, from Utah, and the appearance of Chief Engineer Zimmerman t he next day, suggested that matters were coming to a focus. The news was received, also, that ground for the new railroad would be first broken, in Lake county, on the following week. Saturday, news was received that President Haymond would bo here and participate in the ceremony of throwing the firstishovel full of dirt upon the great line- of railway soon to bo*finishcd from Chicago to the sea. The arrival of President Haymowd tor the above purpose was the occasion for quite a number of our citizens to be present- at the ceremony. The place selected for inaugurating the work was on Clint. Taylor’s old farm, about three miles north of Lowell, amldast Monday (J une 29,) the" day. The section being pronounced ready by Chiet Engineer, Zimmerman, Mr. Haymond made a tew remarks deservedly laudatory of tbe great undertaking. He then appropriately and solemnly consecrated and initiated the work by breaking the first ground for the Chicago and South Atlantic Railroad, the great route to the sea, and as he lifted each shovel full referred to each of the great States of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, soon to be bound together as with a band of iron.

The event is a notable one In the history of Lake county, and infused a spirit of activity among the people of this section, so that the effort in raising stock will lead to a grand success. We will view with pride our location upon such a railroad.— When completed it will open a market to this country such as oar people never dreamed of, and such as could not possibly be secured by any line running East. The vast arriount of corn and pork raised in the Northwest, will find a ready market in the South, where this road penetrates. Its direct line to the sea, its freeness from the obstructions incident to a northern route in winter, the opening of the vast mineral regions and beds of coal to this section, which will result from its construction, will make the event an era in the'march * ' V . t 1 of progress here in the Northwest, that it is impossible to estimate high enough. God speed the good work !— Lowell Star. Kev. J. W. T. McMullen, D. D., is the way Asbury University addresses him.
