RENSSELAER UNION 29. TvftT

REUNION OF THE NINTH REGIMENT.

Gen. Suman. Capt. Cole, Capt Madden and oilier members of th* Ninth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, have decided to call a reunion of the surviving member* us that famous organisation, to be held at a convenient place of mooting, some tune next fall. Several gentlemen who belonged to the regiment were at tho convention at Michigan City last week, and all concurred in the opinion that, everything considered, the mooting should be appointed si La Porte, that city haring been the place of rendeaVo us of the three years* organisation and also on account of its centra! location with relation 1 to the ltattes of the majority of those who are likely to be present. It has boon nearly ten years since the regiment was disbanded and her members were mastered out of service. Many and great change* have taken place in the nation and to the members at that band siner theti. They are now scattered in every direction of the compose; some reside in the busy cities of eastern states, some dwell amid the scenes of former warlike operations in the now peaeeful south, some arc pioneers on those vast luxuricut plains which lie beyond the mighty Father of Wctert, some are fanned by the winds which blow perpetually eastward from the Pacific ocean> some have crossed the waste of waters and dwell in foreign lauds, some, alas! are seea no more by mortal eyes. Among those who survived the perils of field* and camp some follow the avocations of humble private life, others have been honored with the confidence of then* neighbors

and occupy responsible poeitionsof public trust, while a few —O sadness!—‘it were far better had they never returned to greet friends and loving hearts.- ftj all this period of constant change there has been no meeting of these men* who were sharers of the vicissitudes'of l active military duty for four perilous years. Armies, corps, divisions, brigades and other regiments have met year after year, to greet one another with the smiles and compliments and hand-clasping* of brotherhood, to talk over remiaiaoenaea of the past, aud keep warm the friendships born of duty and danger; but this regiment has done nothing of the kind. Mon who steed shoulder to shoulder on many a hard fought field of battle, who marched aide by aide many a weary mile, who watched together on picket duty for rnauy a lonely hour of silent night, who drank from the same ooffee pot and canteen, who occupied the same tent and wrapped the same blanket about them as they laid down to uncertain deep, have been as strangers whom they did not care to remember, or foes whom they desired to forget. Let there now be a change of programme. Let this meeting be called. Let these veterans assemble and revive long-slumbering friendships, exchange recollection of the stormy past, and become friends in peace as they were brothers in war.

As we go to press it is not possible to make anything like a probable gueas about what will be done in the democratic national convention now in session at StLouis, either as to the nominations or platform. Gov. Tilden, of New York, leads for the presidential nomination with 400 delegates, a clear majority, but with the time-bsaored two-thirds rule in fbree the frieodb of other aspirants are certain he cannot be nominated; second in the race is Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana; then follow in the order named, Gen. Hancock, of Pennsylvania, Senator Bayard, of Delaware, Judge Davis, of Illinois, Senator Thurman, of Ohio, and a long list of contingents. Mr. Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Jour-nal, a Tilden supporter, was elected temporary chairman of the convention. On the committee on- resolutions are Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, and Hon. D, W. Yoorhees, of this state, two ardent greenback advocates. Persons having occasion to visit Michigan City wjU find good hotel accommodations at the Jewell House. Mr. Harris is an excellent landlord, genial, courteous and attentive; the table is plentifully supplied with substantiate and all seasonable delicacies, aiqong which most excellent fish; fresh from the cool waters of Lake Michigan, are for foots being an ■■significant factor; rooms uily, neatly furnished and well kept; beds dean and comfortable. In short the Jewell House is a hotel jewel of the first water. i - Mr. M. A, Halstead, of Lowell, lad., advertises to trade town lots in Crdwn Point for “acceptances against the Chicago A South Atlantic railroad company."

Mrs. Linooia widow of the preaidewt baa been pronounced cured of her insanity and adjudged capable of managing her estate. Hon. Chaa. 11. Teat it one of the candidates for judge of the Indianspolis superior court, on the independent-green-back ticket

Warner Shews up the Counterfeit Poor Shows All that Glitters is Net Gold.

There never ws* a truer aphorism than this trite sou ancient proverb: and. In no instanoe can it bolter bo applied, than to the flash 7 tinsolo which many Circuses and Monageries hare adopted, to advertise their paltry, ginger-bread performances. Gorgeous processions, with flaunting banners, gilded chariots, triumphal cars, with half naked, and entirely shameless, women, arranged in questionable tableaux, knights in armor, he., ftc., are brought into requisition to gull the public into tho Idea that the performances under Canvass are on a scale of equal magnificence and splendor. But did their patrons pause for n moment to reflect, they would arrive at the conclusion that these costly outside parades are but ■'springes to catch woodcocks," and that no management using them could give even an acceptable performance under canvass. The reason is obvious. The expense for dresses, banners, band chariots, tableaux, can, housings, trappings, armor. Ac., necessary for these parades, is enormous, and requires every dollar that even the wealthiest manager can apply, leaving n very small margin with which to secure artists their salary, in oase of a disastrous season; pad no performer who makes any pretention to morit will travel without such security. As a natural consequence, their companies are made up of such performers as none else will employ, and whose services con be engaged literally for a song. Thus, every body who witnesses the exhibition is disgusted, and feels that he has beau most consummately swindled. Warner has proved that in a neat handsome turnout he can well throw all such mountebank shows in the.ienr and te, re<e-1 to his patrons a genuine first-class show.

A Sabbath school Picnic in Jordan Township.

A grand union Sabbath school picnic was held in Gailey’s grove on Saturday, June 24th. About 400 people attended. School No. 6 formod in lino at the little grove south of the ■ peaking ground and welcomed the approach of Sage school by sing “Voices happy, voices happy.” This school was marshaled by Mr. J. G. Bullis, their flag was born by Mr. Clinton, and the banner by four beautiful Indies supported by twen-ty-tour others, looking as happy as angels. Fallowing these came seventy gentlemen. All formed in procession antler the leadership of Mr. Norma and marched to the grove when several beautiful Sabbath school songs were sung while waiting for Egypt school, which came in squads like loot sheep of tho house of Israel, without a shepherd. But, thanks to the Good Shepherd, they found him in good oompeay. They collected near the grove, however, under the marshaling of Mr. David Miehaels, as fine looking gentleman as ever wore sash, sat in California saddle, or rode a mule. He was aided by Mosers. J. W. Jacks and J. G. Bullis. The procession was heeded by martial music. The speaker'S Stand was occupied by Mr. Lewis who opened the exercises with an address to the children. He was succeeded by Mr. Farmer, who was followed by Dr. Ritchey, and he by the superintendents of the several schools. The exercises were oonoluded by singing "Praise God from whom all

blessings flow.’ ’

Music is a good thing in a retired village like ours, Lift beginners on the cornet make dwelling in their neighborhood a hideous nightmare. Why is it that Pf J. Sears ft Co. sell more goods than any other house in Bens, selaer? Because their goods are of the best brands and are sold cheapest. Still their sales do not exceed S6OO to S7OO per day. Charley Plait is a philosopher. He has discovered the reason why he sells mere flour th&u any other dealer. It is because be keeps only a good quality and gives strong weight. It will do no harm to com* pare weights.

CAMPAIGN CHICAGOTjUBIJNE! For HATES and WHEELER. The National Republican party has placod its ticket and platform before the American people. The Presidential Campaign will be one of the most exciting and important that has ever occurred in the United States. The result of the contest will determine the future good or ill of the country for a generation to come. The Democratic-Confederate alliance is the same in character and spirit as when the one wing resolved that the war for the Union was a “failure," and tho other wing tried desperately to make it a failure. They are now a harbor of refuge for sectional animosities and pro-slavery sentiments. Since coming into control of the popular branch of Congress the} have exhibited no statesmanship, no wisdom nor patriotism—nothing but obstructive policies and destructive purposes, showing themselves incapable of progress or even of comprehending the wants of the country. They only “meddle and muddle." With all their promises and pretentions they have proven utter failures in deuling with questions of Taxation, Tariff, Revenue, Currency or Reform. If the Government again passes into the bands of the Democratio-Coniederates and they secure possession of the purse and the sword, the army and the navy, the executive authority and the law-making power, they will substitue reaction for progress ana re-establish a reign of terror and a system of peonage in the South, and ballotbox stuffing and corruption in the cities of tha North. Prudence admonishes that “the destinies of the country in peace should be confided to those who saved it in war.” If the ascendency of the Republican party is to be maintained, no agency will be more useful and potential to that end than the Chicago Tribune which has no superior in power and influence among Republican newspapers. A Tribune Campaign Club is needed In every neighborhood in the West to supply the. people with reliable facts and correct political information. The Tribune proposes to keep the enemy on the defensive, and to make it a hot campaign for them until a glorious triumph is achieved next November. CAMPAtGN TERMS.
