The Independent voters of Newton county are requested to meet in Mass Convention at Brook, on Saturday, August Bth, IST4, For the purpose of ntiminating candidates for the several county officers to be elected in October, and to select delegates to the Representative, Senatorial and Congressional conventions. By order of Central Committee. , O. W. Mcllwanb, Chairman.

Some gardens in this neighborhood have “roasting ears” large enough for the table. William Phillips, of Company H,3d U. S. Cavalry, is at home—discharged from the service. 4 A room in Liberal Corner building is being (or, has been) fitted up for Mr. George P. Daugherty’s grocery. J. H. Wood has just received a choice selection of the celebrated Seth Thomas clocks; call and see them. Dr. Lough ridge has thanks for a pamphlet treating upon reform in the Revenue System of the United States. Mr. John Sayler was married to Miss Jenny, daughter of John Coen, Esq., yesterday evening. May blessings attend them. Messrs. J. I. Purcupile & Co., and Mrs. 8. A. Hemphill are each collecting upon the ground material for their new brick store rooms. "Mr. John G. Culp, of Barkley township, presided urbanely and with .graceful dignity over the celebration exercises at Francesville on the 4th. Mr. John R. Vanatta, a former citizen of. Rensselaer now residing in Valparaiso, is visiting friends here.— He looks hearty, and reports business fair to good. Mr. James G. Weather's has a young appletree in his garden that is just blossoming. “Better late than never” is the motto inscribed upon its bright escutcheon, if it has any. Mrs. H. B. Miller will do embroidering and line sewing. Samples of her work done for Mrs. Burnham, are pronounced very nice by those competent to judge of such things. Mr. Winfield 8. Bedford, after an absence of several years, lias returned to Rensselaer. He will open a silversmith’s shop in Leopold’s building, third door below the corner of Van Rensselaer apd Washington streets. . v W. W. 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 lias a brisk trade. Those who favor competition should call on him. Success to him. Countless numbers of the old fashioned, long, striped, cantlinrides bug have made their apearance here, and are devastating potato patches and jgardens. They eat almost any vegetable—potatoes, corn, tomatoes, beets, •cabbages, weeds, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tallman.jr., •compliment Tipe Union with their cards. She was Miss Nellie Conwell, amd a very nice young lady. They were married in Rensselaer on the 2d instant, at the home of George B. Conwell, the bride’s father. The Francesville Banner is told that a few wheatflelfls in the eastern part of Jasper county will not yield as well as last year. Mr. Cyrus Pre•vost tells Brother Muttingly that the corn iu his neighborhood in Gillam township promises a fine crop, but the wheat is a poor yield. Notice is hereby given that no more •gravel must be taken from the hill on the road west of the Pugh bridge, except for road purposes, without permission from the owners. Price 25 cents a load. C. D. Stackhouse, 43-3 John W. Nowei,s. Rensselaer is in the midst of a scope of country six or seven miles square that is suffering from drought. Meadows, pastures aud oat fields have already been injured by this cause, wells have dried up, and unless heavy showers come soon corn, potatoes aqd . gardens will be badly hurt. P. B.—A good shower fell yesterdaj. About as accommodating business men ns there are in Jasper county are the Patton Brothers at Remington. They are in the livery business. • They keep good teams, make moderate .charges, are enterprising, courteous, industrious and strictly temperate.— Good many people think Barney will be the next Sheriff of Jasper county; iif he is, the people’s interests will not at his hands. Pop— fizz— B-w-i-B-h, was the Bound fithat proceeded from a brown paper jjpareel he was carrying lovingly un•der his left arm, as he emerged from ithe drugstore evening before laßt.-r-The fragrant perfume of boiled hops floated majestically upon the twilight .zephyrs, the comet sympathetically wagged Ms rfgal tail—quickly, tenderly that brown paper parcel was :iuade to assume a living perpendicular; Bilently l>e sped to his room. ' 4 A .tragedy had been enacted. Fond ihopes were crushed. A confiding .‘heart was betrayed. His soul was iflUed with sorrow, alas! too full for uttoCMoe. The cork had shot from his bottle, and the beer was spilt.

Miss Mollie Hogan, teaoher of Pleasant GroVe school, Barkley township, reports for term closing June 27th, 1874, an enrollment of 20 pupils, with an average attendance of 19.5. Perfect in attendance, deportment and study, Lilly White, Addison Parkison, Belle Brown, Agnes Brown, Ida Parkison, Mary Moon and Willio White. Another newspaper will be started in Rensselaer in a very few days, if reliance may be put in common report. If started, it will advocate the re-election of the present county offU cers, so far as they are candidates, ami will be managed by and conducted in the interests of the county seat ring. Those opposed to the principles of the People’s party of Jasper countv. as set out in their platform, and all who are satisfied with high county taxes, will, be expected to render liberal as-, sistance to make this enterprise successful. Hon. R. 8. Dwiggins returned from New York, last Friday, without being able to collect any money from the bloated bond holders who are owing the contractors for work done on the Continental Railway Company’s road bed. They had not cut their cupons nor harvested their dividends yet.— Owing to the unfavorable season which began earlj' last fall and continued until the Congressioual session, it was feared the latter crop would be light. In that event, Mr. Wood, the President of the Continental, has a few feet of rocks aud a few liandsful of earth that he fondly imagines is real estate, which lie proposes to offer at auction as. soon as Congressmen get home and commence to lay the wires for another campaign when money usually circulates pretty freely and times are flush. Mr. Dwiggins was assured that if this operation resulted favorably his clients might expect the speedy payment of their claims.— Meantime people out here in the wild and savage West are exhorted to be cheerful under adversity, and cultivate a childlike and abiding faith in the ultimate completion of the enterprise. All the company is waiting for now is a Government charter.— When this is granted “work will be commenced iu earnest, and rapidly pushed to completion.” The company is ready now for business, and only waits for Congress to do its duty by them! A county officer and candidate for re-election in commenting not long j since upon the course The Union j was pursuing towards the Ring, oh- j served that papers (or people?) which : depend upon the public for support! ought to be careful whom they attack, j Just so, gentlemen, did a corrupt Congress think ; and they passed a law to punish recalcitrant editors wiio dared to criticise adversely the conduct of public servants. This law, enacted by a Republican Congress and approved by a Republican Presi- ! dent, strikes directly at the liberty of 1 the press, and is nearly as obnoxious as any of the restrictions of monarehichnl governments. The covert threat j of our petty county ollTcial discovers | a spirit no less intolerant, for it simply i means that if TJIK Union dares to j inquire into It is official couduot he j will attempt to starve out its editors, j Such a line of action at oiice proves j that instead of recognizing his true j relation towards the people ns their | servant, and that to them he is acC; ' i coaiitable- for ids official conduct, he | seems to imagine himself the master, a sort of tyrant to whom the editors, of this paper, at least, if not other ' people, should yield homage and I implicit, unquestioned obedience; not only this, but such a course would also have a tendency to excite the suspicion with some that he was incompetent (to be as charitable as possible) to transact the business of his office, and hence shrank from too close public inspection.

Tiie following transfers of real estate were filed with the Recorder of Jasper county during the week ending July 15, 1874: Oliver B. Mchitire et al to Thomas E. Donnelley, undivided •} nw se 1, 28, 6, for $75. Ezra L. Clark to Truitt Parker Wright, lots 4, 5 and 3 block 11 town of Rensselaer, for $240. Charlotte C.

Remington Journal Jottings.

The Journal put on a new cap last week. Mrs. Stewart, mother of Joseph Stewart, died on the Ist Instant, aged seventy-four years. On Monday last week the thermometer Indicated a temperature of 103°, Tuesday the murcury reached 104°. An unexpended school fund of $1,808.62 remains in the hands of the treasurer of the llcmingtou school board. The total receipts of the concert on the evening of the 4th', was $175 ; the net proceeds of the day and evening were about $260. Two years old is tho Journal now, and going on three. It is u good local f taper, anil its proprietor deserves iberal patronage for his enterprise. One night week before last tho freight train golug west killed outright two horses belonging to Mr, Charles H- Price, crippled another oiie so badly that it waslikely to die.

Photography.

Dr. Kelley having associated with him in the photographic business Mr. J. A. Sharp, an experienced artist, would respectfully announce to the citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity that Wo are now prepared to execute work in accordance with nil the late improvements. „ Photographs of children made a specialty. No pains will be spared to makeour Gallery a pleasant place to visit; and in all cases satisfaction is guaranteed. The photographic department will be uuder the entire supervision of Mr. Sharp. Call and see specimens. Kelley & Sharp. Dr. Kelley’s undivided attention will be given to Dentistry. Calls out of town attended to without extra charge. Six years’ practice among you, without complaint from patrons, is thought to be sufficient recommendation for claims upon your patronage in all branches of dentistry.

Indiana Politics.

An Indianapolis correspondent, who claims to be a Republican and is vouched for as such, writes to the Chicago Tribune as follows, concerning the political situation in Indiana: The results of the election will be largely determined by issues outside of State politics, specially by the record of Congress and the Administration, although the Temperance and “Grange” questions are .to be considered [n the estimate. It is quite undeniable that the large majority of the people of Indiana favor a modification of tile present finance system, and this demand would be best’ met by a Free Baiiking law—not one with coin redemption—but an act striking the limitation of National Rank circulation entirely off, and allowing new banks to be constituted precisely as present ones are, with the same liabilities and immunities, and both classes to be equally subject to resumption whenever Congress shall determine. This currency question is bound to be a, prominent issue in the campaign; in view ot which the “good Lord, devil” resolutions of the Republican Convention, indorsing Gen. Grant and Senator Morton, in one and the same breath, strikes a thinking man as supremely silly and a very thin piece of political strategy. Party lines rest decidedly easy on the shoulders of both Republicans and Democrats, as a result of the shaking up of tiie elements ot society incidental to the “Grange” movement. What the influence of this will be, none can tell very clearly; but there are over 100,000 members of the Patrons of Husbandry in the State, and, despite all efforts to restrain them, at eveiy meeting of a Grange, at every District Convocation, and at the scores upon scores of picnics held this year, politics and officeholders have been the fruitful themes of discussion. According to my thinking, the Grangers are looking more closely to the officers that impinge upon them in their everyday-life,—tlie county and township officials, the Clerks, and Sheriffs, and Commissioners, whose fees and taxes are perfect ly bewildering and overpowering where closely studied. I predict a strange overturning and breaking tip of “Courtllouse Rings,” no matter whether they be of Republican or Demoiu power lias nominated candidates witfl the smell of the Court House about theii garments, there will the party managers be surprised to find, when the votes are counted out, that their best-laid schemes' have fallen through. This unrest and political frisKiness will have an influence upon Congressional and general tickets. The greatest degree of interest -wHI center in the Congressional and Legislative tickets, the former for the reason that it is the first election under the new apportionment, aud, in a measure, uncertain in several of th© new districts; and the latter by reason of the dependence of a United States Senator, to succeed Senator Pratt, upon the complexion of the General Assembly. If the Republicans carry a majority, Pratt will succeed himself; if the Democracy, a host of candidates will spring up, prominent among them being the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, of this city. Hendricks is out, for his resignation of the Gubernatorial office would devolve it upon Liet.-Ggv. Sexton, a Republican. Leaving Legislative speculation, it will bo of interest ;to glance over, the Congressional districts, in all of which, with a measurable degree of cer- | tainty, -the' candidates and the ; probabilities can now be determined. The Tenth District'is composed, for the most part, of the counties

of the old Eleventby embraeing all save Fulton and Marshall, which go into the new Eleventh, and Carroll, takejrfrom the Seventh. The counties are : Carroll, Jasper, Laporte, Lake, Newton, Porter, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Starke and White. The Republican majority here is about 1,000, and it will be recognized as the old Colfax District.— In the earlier days ot the canvass, Republicans would have been veiy glad to have secured the candidacy of the ex-Vicc-President. but lie has so repeatedly declined that he is now counted out. Back pay killed Gen. Packard, the present Representative, who has never made an acceptable Congressman. W. 11. Calkins, of Laporte; a candidate of several years’ standing, a young attorney of brilliant complexion and quite brilliant talents, seems to be the favorite for the nomination, though the lion. George C. Merrifield, Dr. Lewis Humphries, and State Senator of. St. Joseph ; Lansing', of Porter; Turner, of Lake; and Hammond, of Jasper, have each been spoken of, and would command respectable if they entered the lists in earnest- — As it is now, Calkins will be the nomined, and a very creditable Congressman he will make, being lull of enthusiasm, vigor, and integrity. As Oppostion candidate, there arc, of Democrats, Thomas J. Merrifield, of Porter, Mortimer Nye of Laporte, and Thomas J. Wood, of Lake. The lion. John B. Niles,-of Laporte, and~the Hop. Anson Wolcott, of White, hot.h Liberal Republicans, are also spoken of. Merrifield, (ire Democrat is. a man of more -Than ordinary capacities, and, if not taken by the Democrats as thoir candidate for Supremo Judge, would be the strongest opponent that could be placed against the Republican nominee. Mr. Niles is an old ex-State Senator, honorably identified with the progress of the State, thoroughly honest, and capable for any trust. Mr. Wolcott was a State Senator for two terms, is a i.irgo farmer of White county, has a commanding presence, and “a financial plan.” Two new school bouses, worth SC,OOO, are to be built in JjOgansport'this season. Tile chinch bug is reported, to \>e ravaging millet and injuring corn in some portions of Lake county.
