THE RENSSILUft UNION.

Thursday, August 27,1874

Judge Taleoli's paper docs not announce that Mnj. -Calkins wilt speak upon the issues of the day. at his appointments in I’ortcr county, “as we arc aware of none made up.” Tlie issue with Calkins is, Shall I he elected to Congress? Only-this, and nothing moic. Just as was predicted, the Wiumnac Rrp>d>’ic<iH and Montieello Herald endorse the nominee oi the Valparaiso convention for Congress, notwithstanding their growls about what they would do to the contrary in case the claims of the Southern j art of the District were Ignored It is perfect nonsense tor editors wlro depend upon official patronage for support to talk about being independent. They dare not be if they wanted to. I>r. S. C. Maxwell, of llcmitigton, and Mr. M. 11. Ingram, late proprietor ofthe B rooks tor. Reporter, have formed a partnership and bought the material ot the Central Clarion, at Fowler, Benton county, and commenced publishing a new e|ght column, folio, weekly paper called the Bmlun County Herald.— Dr. Maxwell lias occasionally contributed to the columns of Tin: Us fox and is a forcible writer Mr. Ingram has long been connected with the newspaper business, and understands every department of a country office. If they do not make a strong team and publish a good paper* we shall be very much diaappnintvd . The admission fee to the Expo** sition and State Fair, which opens at Indianapolis on the 7th of September and continues thirty days, will be 25 cents for the first three weeks. For the last week of the live stock show it will be 50 cents. The special premiums, offered by the Manufacturers and Real Estate exchange, amount to $750. The Board has offered $l5O to the county making the best display ot orchard, garden and field crops.— The Superintendents ofthe Horticultural Department call attention to the very liberal premium list in the various branches represented in that department this season. — Valuable improvements, have been ordered to the internal arrangements of the* building in which horticultural, garden and floral products are to be displayed.— Ample ai range meins have beei) made for the accommodation of exhibitors of fruits this season. One i f the most hopeful features ot the present dull political campaign, is that it tends largely to obliterate ohl party lines. On every hand are heard such expressions as “I do not care ahout party names any more;” “I propose this year to vote for those men whom I believe to be the best qualified to fill the offices lor whk-li. they are nominated “1 am waiting to see '.\ ° V what candidates are out before making up my mind bow to vote ; ’ ‘•ln times like tire present, when there arc —ntr-impoH-airt —general issues, I believe in scratching tickets;” and. many other modifications of the same idea. During the war when questions of vital importance to our national existence were being discussed, issues were sharply deand voters did not ask so particularly about a candidate’s competency as they did about Ids sentiments; lmt the war is over) its issues are - settled, and now honesty and capability are tlie ‘prominent quallieations : to be sought in a public officer. Elect ’•the best men regardless ot political affiliations, A terribie tragedy was enacted at' ‘ Indianapolis Hist* week, which created an unusual sensation throughout the country. Miss Flora Harding, nineteen years old, daughter of George C. Harding, of the Indianapolis Sunday Herald , took a dose of opium which resulted fatally. Previous to her death she revealed to her lather that the act was instigated by remorse and to hide her shame in the grave—she having been seduced by 'Solomon Moritz, a wealthy married man and intimate acquaintance of their family. Upon meeting Moritz next day, Mr. Harding discharged six barrels of a revolver at him, two of the shots striking, one shattering an arm from the elbow down, and one passing through his lungs. ' At latest advices Moritz was alive. Harding was adtoitted to bail to appear f»r trial upon the charge of assault with intent to kill. Public i sympathy is strong for Harding, 1 great indignation is expressed by the newspapers against Moritz.— The latt*f"*Bserts his innocence of the crime charged upon him, and published a card reflecting against i Mis* Harding’* reputation. J

A simple cure for boils is giveu as follows, by a French physician : As soon as the culminating point of a boil makes its appearance, put a little camphorated alcohol in a j saucer, and dipping the end of a * linger into it rub gently the inflamed j surface, especially the central part, ; repeating the operation eight or | ten times for about half a minute, j Then allow '(he surface to dry and | place over it a slight coating of \ camphorated olive oil. It is said that tour such operations—which | arc to be performed morning, noon ! and evening—will in in almost .all. ! cases cause the boil to dry up and ! disappear. The Republican party boasts of its wonderful efforts at self-purifi-cation. It is the party of the people—a great liberty-loving aggregation of noble souls intent upon keeping intact the principles of freedom inculcated by our Revolutionary sires. At least that is what its advocates claim lor it. How truthful these professions are is well illustrated in Vermont, where they recently renominated for Congress Judge Poland who was chairman of that wonderful House committee to whitewash members implicated in Credit Mobilief transactions, and wTio became infamous at last session of Congress as the engineer who forced, through the House of ; Representatives at Washington that villainous measure known as lire newspaper gag-law—which* was plainly designed to destroy | the independence of journalism—and thus pave the way fur still greater encroachments upon popular liberty, and prepare for tlie ultimate triumph of despotism in America. Judge Poland ougtit to be defeated, and those Republicans who have bolted and refuse j to endorse his nomination, deserve | the commendation of all patriotic i people. Why is it that the Republican parly has not been able to reconstruct the South in its nearly ten years of tinkering? llow does it come that just about tlie time important elections are to be held in Northern States, Republican journals arc filled with column after column recounting political outrages ia the section which* their platforms claim -their party has thoroughly reconstructed ? Somehow another Republican papers get thingsmixed up. Either the party lias been powerless to restore order in the “late rebellious States,” as its platforms and speakers claim, or else the reports of political outrages which fill the columns of their orominent journals are fictitious. If the newspaper reports are true, their platforms are false; ! if their platforms are false, then it j is high time to change the policy | Of the government towards those | sections where lawlessness prevails. | If it is-desiruble to make a change ; in this respect, there must be a | change made in the legislative-dc- | partineiit of government, because j the party now .in power con templates i nothing oi that kind, but rather I ■. " ; points to its past record as a | guaranty and indication of what j it will do in the future.

REMINGTON AND HER SURROUNDINGS.

A newspaper correspondent, alluding to a recent visit, says : ‘•The next j'lace of importance i where we brought .up, was Reiti- [ ington,in Jasper county. It is a | smart, thriving town of 000 or 700 ! inhabitants, and despite the hard ; times flic re are several new buildi ings now in progress, including a fine, two story drug store. Taking our leave of there, we went about ’ ten miles south, and • die whole ; distance seemed to be one continnj ous cornfield, witli an occasional field of oats; and we don’t think a better or more promising, crop was ever grown on a Western prairie. Four years ago we went the same ! piece of country; then one conld ’drive m almost any direction, as there were no fences and only a few cultivated fieias in the way ; but now it is nearly all fenced, with miles of corn and oats surrounding fine farm houses.” Quoting the foregoing in his paper, the Laporte Chronicle, Mr. Congressman Packard adds: “We know the beauties of the surrounding Remington, from personal observation. If we had never seen Laporte county, we should affirm that the magnificent prairie lauds about Remington, aud thence westward to Goodland, in Newton county, and southward to Benton county, make the real garden spot of Indiana. Six years ago we visited the locality for the first time,) Far as the eye could

reach were countless herds of cattle, and millions of wild flowers. These have largely given place to luxurient grain fields, which exhibit the wonderful fertility of the soil. The northwestern part of White county, k. large part of Jasper and Newton counties and Benton, make up a body of land destined to enrich the whole State by its illimitable agricultural resources; and its beauty of situation, its rolling grandeur, and sealike proportions, make it a picture of loveliness, unsurpassed in the Mississippi Valley.” The natural advantages of Jasper county are only half appreciated by the people who live here, while elsewhere there is only now and then a person who has even a faint conception of them. We have hero a section of country in which is a diversity of soils adapted to grain raising, fruit growing aud the breeding and fattening of live stock. Grass, corn, oats, flax, potatoes, vines, all kinds of garden produce, and wheat may be raised here profitably with reasonable cultivation. Apples, pears, some varieties of cherries, plums and grapes seem to bo almost indigenous. There is no locality in the latitude where all kinds of domesticated animals can be more successfully bred. For butter and cheese making, there are few localities havirg superior advantages naturally. In Jasper eounty, although prairie lands predominate, there are groves and belts of timber, which increase the beauty of its landsc ape s by in ter rup ting what would otherwise be monotonous scenery, sufficient to supply fencing and fuel for several centuries to come. The streams of flowing water in this county are the Kankakee river which forms its north* ern boundary, and the I> oquois river rising near the center and running in a southwestern direction; into the Iroquois unpty the Pinkainink, Carpenter and Curtis creeks, besides several smaller streams. — In the northern part of Jasper is a deposit of iron ore covering an area twelve miles square, which some day will prove a source of much wealth. Specimens of tins ore have been smelted and proved to be of excellent quality. Land is quite cheap here yet, unimproved tracts being worth five to ten dollars an acre, and good farms on which are fences, small orchards and dwellings, can be bought for ten, fifteen, twenty-five and thirty dollars an acre, owing to location and character of improvements. — Society here is good, the people being quiet, temperate and intelligent. Perhaps there is not an equal population in the United States where more periodicals are read, or there are fewer offenses against the laws, moral or civil.— Public school houses are numerous ; there are three mills in the county; ten church edifices we believe (besides the school houses aud other buildings which are frequently used for divine worship); fair roads (better than the average in neighboring counties) with good substantial bridges over the principal streams; a court house ot sufficient capacity for all county business, but no jail. There is room in Jasper county for double its present number of inhabitants, and good, industrious people would receive a hearty welcome.

INDIANA GOSSIP.

Michigan City shipped SIO,OOO worth of huckleberries tills season. Knox county claims to have 50,000 bushels of peaches to harvest this season. Nearly a thousand entries Lave been made for the Northern Indiana Fair at Fort Wayne. Marshall county holds her. Fair this season September 29th and 30th, and October Ist and 2d. It is thought that tlie fall term of the Valparaiso Normal School will open with 300 pupils an attendance/' Michigan City boasts, in addition to her sand knobs aiid penitentiary, a $551 brass hand to make life a burden. From January Ist to August Ist, 1874,‘0ne dealer at Crown Point purchased 72,820 pounds of butter, anil 24,340 dozen eggs. Dysentery combined with a low grade of typhoid fever, which baffles the skill oi the best physicians, is Very fatal to children at Valparaiso. Stndehaker Brothers’ mammoth wagon factory at South Bend was burnt Monday morning, resulting in a of about $300,000. By this calamity 300 workmen are thrown out oi employment.

Bishop Wiley will preside over the Northwestern Indiana Conference of the Methodist Epis'copal cliurch,i which will convene at Lafavetlo on the 9th of next * ♦ month. Any amount of hay is being cut on the Kankakee marsh this year, says the LoWelt Star, where the sound of the mower was never before heard. A team can be driven anywhere across the marsh to the river now. Dan. Comingore left Logansport last Wednesday in a skiff, bound for New Orleans. Texas, and South America will be visited by him, but at the Ohio or Mississippi rivers he will abandon his skiff and secure passage on a craft of larger burthen. The First National Bank of Crown Point has been organized. Its capital stock is $50,000. James Burge President, A. C. Bundy Cashier. A room is now undergoing repairs and being fitted up for the bank occupancy, and the officers expect to be ready for business by the first of September. When Mr. Lawrence's people retired to bed at Winnmac the other night, they left their lamp burning. After they had been in bed awhile the lamp exploded and set fire to a dress hanging near, which was burnt up. It was with great difficulty that they succeeded in extinguishing the flames and saved their house.

Independent Senatorial Convention.

The convention convened in Mill’s Hall, at Goodland, Indiana, Saturday, August 22, 1874, and was called to order at 1 o’clock i\ ii., by N. L. Dyke Esq, of Newton county. Rowland Hughes, of Moutieello, was called to the chair, and C. 11. Price, of Jasper county, elected secretary. The chairman appointed I). D. Dale, of White eounty, J. B. Cheesebro, of Newtoii, S. M, Black, of Jasper, and- McConnell, of BentOn, as a committee on credentials, who reported that no regularly appointed delegates were present, except from Newton county, and recommended that all -citizens in .attendence front the several counties of the district be recognized as delegates. Report concurred in. ITon. Anson Wolcott being called upon addressed the convention . aoc.eptabl v for about thirty minutes. N. L. Dyke,- G. F. Streight, Col. llealey and* others made short speeches, explanatory ot the Independent Movement. On motion tiie basis of representation was made one vote for every 100 cast at the last State election, which gave White county 20 votes, Jasper 16, Benton 10, and Newton 15. Nominations being declared, in order, the following names were presented: John W. Wymer, of White county, William Foster and Samuel N. Caldwell, of Newton, and George Major, of Jasper. Convention then took a recess of fifteen minutes for. caucassing. __ Upon reassembling the name of John W. Wyiner, of White county, was withdrawn, and before a ballot was taken that of Alfred W. Reynolds, of White, presented. FIRST BALLOT. R. F. M. C. White 24 1 1 Jasper .... 1245 3j J Renton Hi Newton.... . 15 Total . 24 35 12Jjj 4JJ Total vote 2>olled 73.

Undefiled Republicanism.

Just us we go to press we are informed that the Senatorial Convention of this District meets at Remington today! It is an oversight that the Committeeman from this county was not notified, or was it intentional that the Convention should be controlled by a ring? We ask that Benton county be treated with respect. — Oxford Tribune. ——— Yes, Brother Cowgtll, it was unquestionably the intention that the Convention should be controlled by a ring, and it was so controlled. Let us look at the facts in the case : Neither the member of the Senatorial Central Committee from Benton county, nor any member of the County Central Committee had any information, as to when and where the Convention should assemble. Benton county was wholly ignored in the matter. There was no notice given in Newton county. The Gazette was silent—in fact, probably' Knew nothing about it.— The Monticello, Rensselaer and Remington papers were the only ones that gave any notice of the Convention in the district, and even these were not authorative; simply as rumors. The result was tliat White and Jasper were the only counties well and legally represented. Newton had no regular delegates, from that three-fourths of its territory and one-half of its population north of the river, only one alternate and one substitute —two men to represent all that portion of the county —one delegate from the neighborhood of Goodland, and the balance from the town and vicinity of Kentland. ÜBenton county of course liad no delegates whatever. A few men who had received a special invitation from the “gentleman from Newton’’ to come and cast the vote of Benton county for him, were there, and also a few who had heard of the Convention through the Remington Journal, or who had gone, to Remington on business. After finding that it would be impossible to obtain an adjournment of the- Convention, a portion of these refused to have any thing to do with it. One, who desired to represent Union, township, was choked out, because he would not vole for the gentleman from Newton. On the second ballot Jesse McAllister, of 'VYhite county, Was fairly and squarely nominated.— We have not time nor space to unravel that mystery of political intrigue by which it was declared that Jethro A. Hatch was the nominee. After the- Convention had adjourned, a certain gentleman said to one of the Kentland delegatesthat “the action yf the Convention would be very unsatisfactory, and that in his opinion it would be impossible to eject the nominee,” he replied as he rolled down his “Well, we don’t care; we hake-succeeded in nominoting him, anyhow.” A few minute subsequently he repeated the same language to another party, j We lorbear commenting upon | the purity of that Republicanism that prefers defeat of the party and overthrow of principle to defeat of a ring favoyite. No wonder the people all over the land are rising in their majesty, and in the glory of free manhood, and bidding

defiance to party lines and party whips. ' * Nothing short of another convention, in which all the district will have an opportunity of a fair representation, will satisfy the demands of the people. Will there be hpotber, conveno lion ? We think not. As it stands there‘is no nominee of the Republican party that any Republican in this district is under obligations to support. Will they support and sustain a fraud at the dictation of men who “don’t care” for anything but the success of the ring? We leave the answer for the future to disclose, yet we venture to suggest that the signs of the times arc “so plain that he who runs (for Senator) may read.” —Fowler Herald. Just now the papers all over the land are deploring the too ready use of the pistol. They take the shooting of Moritz by Harding, and other like occurrances for their text and preach long sermons. Let them give their attention to drilling legislators to making good and wholesome laws, and society to casting out the seducer and libertines, and there would he less use for the pistol. As long as society admits within its pale the lecherous scoundrel who makes his aim to seduce the wife or daughter of the family to which he obtains an enterance, so long will ruin enter the household. The girl who submits, is ruthlessly cast out as a thing too vile to touch, but the villain who lias worked the ruin is looked n [ion received with open arms, flattered and feasted. Cast him out like a leper; let no father or brother recognize him except to spit upon him; let curses follow bis footsteps; let scorn and contumely pursue him; let him be an outcast from every social or business gathering; let society punish him. It is society that needs reforming in this respect. —Logansport Star.

On Tuesday last a most shocking accident occurred at Levi Ewing’s, near Morocco, while party of threshers were threshing oats, resulting in the death of Milton Kav. It seems the unfortunate man was feeding the machine, when a box on the side gearing became so hot that it set the straw on fire, and in stepping up to try to put out the fire, Mr. Kay slipped and fell one leg going into the cylinder and being crushed to the knee. The machine stopped instantly, and all hands went to work to release the unfortunate man anil stay the flames. With a crow-bar the cylinder was finally pried away and Mr. Kay released, and lie and machine removed just in time to escape being burned up. The arteries were all severed and lie bled profusely until medical aid arrived. I)rs. Hr.mston, Triplett, Darroch and Ewing were m attendance, but as no reaction set in they were powerless for good and the poor man sank until three o’clock Wednesday morning, when death ended his .sufferings.- —Kentland Qa- ■■ zette. Children do not always resemble their parents. Solid charcoal and sulphur in combination produce a volatile compound as colorless as water, and sulphur and quicksilver form the bright Vermillion. Nitroand hydrogen have no smell, but their combination is ammonia ; while the poisonoirs chlorine gas and the bright metal sodium form common salt. Neither hydrogen nor oxygen is poisonous, yet united they form the deadly oxalic acid, or in different proportions sugar, or still different alcohol. So you see w-thing may be good or bad according to the way you use it. —Little Corporal. - * When the Moors held the south of Spain they made all vessels that passed through the straits of Gibralter pay toll at the little town of Tarifa, according to the value they carried. Thence came the word tariff, found in all European languages. It means properly a list of goods with the duties that mustbe paid for bringing them into the country. The duty is the money,’ the tariff is the list Little Corporal,

_ THE lIVTER.OCEAS. 1873. 185-4. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. TIIE INTER-OCEAN POH 1874. Established less than twb'years sinco as a representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and defend the principles and organization of the great National Republican party, the Inter-Ocean has attained a circulation and influence with the masses of its voters everywhere to 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 confident belief that its Iriends will need no other specific pledge for the future than has been given in its columns from day to day during the past eighteen months Since its first publication it lias maintained the po-' silion of THE LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN TIIE NORTHWEST, to which it was assigned by universal assent in the excited canvass which resulted in the sedbnd and triumphant election of President Grant. THE EIS EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, tlie opposition arc skillfully massing their forces for 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 unpiocedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hoodwink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het'er and cheaper inodes of transportation than now exist. THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eager for office, is getting itself into readiness to becomo once more the Ruling Party of the nation. IN THE SOUTH the old Democracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed into life by the apparent reverses Republicanism lias suffered in the North. Tlie election of Allen in Ohio, tho triumph of Tammany in New York, and tlie few desultory successes which have come to of tlie West and Northwest, have inspired tlie rebels of 18fl with the hope that tlie day is dawning when tlie Lost Cause is to be voted into a victory they failed to achieve by means Of the bullet and Bayonet. Already R. M. T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia,;and a member of tlie Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has publish 'd his scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South, Tho Richmond iVa.) Whig and Governor Gilbert Walker are urging thhfplan with alt pertinacity; and tliero can he little doubt that a large party of Southern Representatives in tho Forty-thiid Congress will he prepared to advocate llio payment of this money by tlie General Government. The past history of tlie Democratic party gives no warrant that It will oppose tliis infamous robbery of tlie people ol the North for the benefit of traitors: I but if the uar»v is true to itself and ils instincts the South will find it and its representatives a subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT is another scheme that is broadly hinted at in i many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the lead- ! iirg Democrats of that section would address I themselves if the time should crftr come will-11 a majority of the Northern Slates and ! (lm'General Government should be in the i bauds id tlie party which helped tho rebels in their svoi-k-ef destroying tlie Uniou. I These are not fanciful issues. They aro j real dangers, either to he met face to faeeyor else to be-squelched in their inception by tlie continued successes of that organization which crushed the rebellion, gave freedom to the slaves, and destroyed the slave-holding ■ Confederacy. THE FARMERS know that the In.teu-Ocf.an was their carli--1 est, as it lias been their staunchest and | warmest, friend. It is emphatically tlie organ of tlie people in tlie best sense of tlie term, believing in the fullest ' protection of tlie rigiitß of the many against ■ the 'encroachments of tho few. it believes I that.all chartered corporations should he held | to be subservient to tho power Unit creuttd them, and without an infringement of the [ just lights of otliers it insists, and will con- ! tinue to insist, that all corporations enjoying I special privileges voted to them by the people 1 shall serve tlie people fairty and jnstly. ut a compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon tlie actual capital employed.
