WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE.

It only required about tiro hundred >biyalroa> Minitsippian. arawd Jritfe rHoa and shot gnni loaded trilh back shot to kill Judge Chiapta and hie eighteen years old daughter, they were cornered in a jail And they did not kill them outright aa merciless savages might have done, but contented themselves with wounding them *nd prohibiting the attendence of enrgeona to render the necessary assistance for their recovery. Miss Chisolm died from gangreen Beatin in the wounds made by her i phiyalrous assailants. Those Misjdssippiana who were engaged in affair are not a whit better than their democratic brethren of Luuifiana who cut the throat of a year old neoro baby in its mother's arms, because its father voted the republican ticket. All cnristendum is shocked with horror at the butcheries <perpetrated by the Bashi-Ba-xonks of the East, but some of these very good people are ready to palliate, if they dare not justify, deeds just as inhuman, just as bloody, and just as unprovoked as the Mamaluke savages of Turkey are guilty of Their hearts are all sympathetic when they hear of crimes being committed in another part of the world, and they become deeply interested in those missionary efforts which are made to advance a higher and more perfect civilisation in a part of the world they are not likely to visit, and among a people of another race and language; but their hearts close together with a crash and their sympathies are dried at the fountain if attention is balled to the atrocities perpetrated by their neighbors upon other neighbors. The pacification policy of the present administration is not responsible for the Mississippi outlawry that we hear of every few days, for the savages of that region were committing their bloody deads before Mr. Hayes ascended to the presidential chair. Indeed the responsibility of their occurrence does not rest upon the general government at all, but the odium is upon the people themselves who commit, tolerate, protect, or excuse them. Governor Stone, the courts and officers having jurisdiction, the newspapers which mold public opinion, and the people themselves are responsible it the ring-leaders of that blood-thirsty mob in Kemper county Mississippi are not brought to trial, convicted and punished.

WANTS THOSE $10,000.

Nearly three years ago the LnPorte Chronicle “Jasper Packard editor," likened The Union to a serpent whose teeth were drawn—venomous, bat harmless and capable of nothing more than to hiss and wriggle. Within lour months after making this original statement, while in bis seat in the national house of representatives, a shriek of agony and rage anHnounced that somebody had been struck where the cuticle was thin, and that it slung like the truth. Ifi a day or two afterwards a firm ofpromineut lawyers in the lovely city of LaPorte was instructed by the •alary-grabbing representative of the tenth congressional district of Indiana to bring legal action against The Union before the maples i leaved out again, claiming damages of SIO,OOO to a self-polluted reputation. Thi£ case has dragged its solemn length along a period of more than two years, first adorning the docket of the Jasper circuit court, trailing over into Newtqn county, and finally coiling nxolionthe stinking waters of Lafayette laved its scaley folds as it watched the rencounter between a street evangelist and a rotund justice of the supreme bench. It is rumored that certain motions of Gen. Packard** counsel indicate that he has instructed them to push the prosecution vigorously. Not the least amusing phase of *|bis (Jukotie battle is that an ex member of eougresa and ex-brig-■ldiei-gw»r.l rto«M .ummon W bi. oMb.

such an insignificant foe as he describee. When this cruel war is over and Jasper comes marching home, LaPorte people may possibly witness the imposing spectacle of a revenue official trigged out in the tarnished uniform of a brigadier general, riding astride of a keg of whiskey drawn by two goat williams, swinging above his head a deadly test tube, and aa he flits up and down the delightful avenues of that maple embowered city followed by a marveling retinue of street Arabs, gaily singing this glad song of triumph; Father, and mother, and I, And ten good soldiers more. Beat an old woman stone blind Who scarce could see before. Congressman, judges and I, And twelve bold jurors more, Drain'd a poor editor dry Who baa n't a dime before.

Fawcett of the Delphi Newt is a brick. He is a stiff democrat in political belief, but is not afraid to talk out in meeting. Listen to him: “Democratic papers of the sensa“tional stripe put themselves to a “great deal of trouble to misinform “lheir readers in regard to Hayes, •‘and gloat over the fact that his “election was secured by fraud. “Now, however much we doubt “the honest election of Hayes, his “official record has knocked the “democratic thunder higher than a “kite, and they must now content “themselves with lying about his “election. . They ought to have “self-respect enough to keep* still, “at any rate, after electing a man who did not hive enough sense or “grit to secure his position after “bis election.’* This appeal to delinquent debtors is not made on account of the individual sufferings of the editor of The Union, for he is “used to it and calloused, but it is terrible to listen to his little two year old cry for bread when there is not a crumb in the cupboard. Some of you who have cattle browsing on a thousand acres, who are able to build fine dwellings, who ride in carriages, who are loaning money on twenty to thirty per cent, interest ought to call and settle those little accounts that have been running many months. Pay us enough to buy bread for the baby, and get us a pair of butternut colored duck overalls.

In commenting on the recent shooting affray at a charivari in Carpenter township the Morocco Courier observes: “All we have “to say is, b« [McManus] served “them just right, only he should “have taken aim at all as he did at “the one. that received tlie groin “wound. The practice is beatben“isli in its very nature.” Wonder if Ed. Maxwell contemplates marriage at an early day? C.ipt. C. A. Edmunds went to Indianapolis yesterday morning to interview Gov. Williams with regard to the appointment of the secretary of the board of state house commissioners. The captain lost an arm in the service of the government, is well qualified for the position, and we hope be may be successful in hie aspiration.

It is probably truo (hat not a merchant in Rensselaer has sold to exceed 910,000 worth of goods on any one day this week yet, but Saturdays are generally the Lest days for trade, and it is possible some of them may make a good general' average when the books are closed that evening. • The editor of the Delphi News says that be does not hold his paper rexuonaible for the views of its correspondents. When he has had as much experience in the courts as Mr. Storey of the Chicago Times he tnay modify his opinion in that respect. X M. Arnbut has sold his interest in the Kentland Gaastte to Mr. John French, bidden a kind farewell to all the patrons of that excellent journal, and laid aside the pencil and scissors. The Turks have what they' call a sandjack sherif, and it is a terrible thing when mad. It plays jack and tears sand worse than any other sheriff living. Judge Casey, of Mot Springs, Arkansas, places us under renewed obligations for files of late southwestern newspapers.

Ah! Ha! And now that hardshell old bullion advocate, the Indianapolis Journal, is squealing. Listen to it The records of the comptroller of the treasury show that twenty national banks in the state of Pennsylvania and flfly-three in the stateof New York are now in process of closing business. The gifted policy of secretary Biterman in attempting to force upon the bankers the work of resuming specie payments will add to this long list or those who prefer to go out of business rather than continue banking with the present hardships. The Journal thought it was good enough for the lazy grangers and backwoods tradesmen, and no matter how much they were ground in the mill, it seived them right, for what business had they to want to wear blacking on their brogans, or gloves on (heir hands? But now the bankers are being reached by the hard times and, la! what a squawk! What is the matter, anyhow? Can’t Brother Martindale negotiate any more steel-poiutcd, triple-plated, doubleturreted twenty per cent, loans?

A battle was reported to be in progress at Batoum in Asiatic Turkey yesterday afternoon. Large forces were engaged, and the fighting was becoming terrific. The Russians had already broken the Turkish line of defense several days before, by the capture of Ardahan. It now begins to look as though the Turks had been misled by the demonstrations along the Danube when their greatest danger was to be apprehended from the Czar’s eastern army, which is crushing its way down through the center of the Sultan’s empire and breaking it in twain. The Turks are operating at a great disadvantage, being numerically weaker than the Russians, apparently officered inferiorly, and necessarily fighting on the defensive. Without they secure outside aid their destruction as a nation seems inevitable, unless they avert the calamity by making humiliating concessions ; and even this course, would only postpone the fateful day. Dr. W. 8. Haymond, late representative in congress for the 10th district of Indiana, since the expiration of his official term moved from Monticello to Indianapolis, where he is now engaged in She practice of medicine and surgery, in both of which arts be Ins had long experience and been remarkably successful. As a member of congress he was distinguished for the sincerity and conscientiousness of his every act. “His record is unimpeachable.” lately remarked a gentleman who is high in public lile, but ofjlifferent political faith, and this sentiment is prevalent throughout the district that he so honorably and faithfully represented.

Gen. Beauregard, of Confederate' memory has written a letter to Blanton Duncan of Louisville in which he expresses sympathy with Turkey, marks out a plan of campaign by which she could make it exceedingly troublesome for Russia, but says that he is now a man of peace since Louisiana is free. Gen. Beauregard was not remarkable' .for brilliant strategy in the field, but it is possible that he may fight a pretty good battle on paper with the broad Atlantic rolling between him and the shells of the belligerents. Mr. Simms Major retired from the Laporte Herald a week or two since aud is now industriously editing a garden with a four-pronged fork, when not gallantly figMting potato bugs with two chips. Brother Major is one of the best-hearted men not connected with the eastern war, but the duties of the editorial desk were too numerous for him. and he was compelled to retire. Hope he will recover health ere long.

One of the handsomest newspapers, typographically, in the whole state of Indiana is the Messenger at Valparaiso. It is edited with remarkable energy and spirit. It would be impossible for the people of Porter county to give it a support above that which it merits. Long may it prosper and continue to adorn the country newspaper ranks of Indiana. . The Winamac Democrat asks if it is true that there is a “little brown jug” in every house in Jasper couaty. Not having inspected them all we are unable to say, but from the tact that five or six hundred democratic votes were polled here at the last general election presume there may be several of those vessels standing behind closet doors. Brother Fawcett, of the Delphi New#, says that his experience with Kitt at Monticello was not somewhat bitter,etc. Glad of it. But what did he write such an ambiguous letter to Thk Umion for, and why did he hone for “a pen dipped in the lava of hell” if everything was I lovely and he felt as happy as a fawn? I

Senator Morton will depart for Oregon about the first days of June to pursue investigations, in connection with the other members of the senate committee, of the manner of the election of Mr- Grover to the United States senate.

Hot Springs Arkansas.

Editor Rensselaer Union: Sitting at my blue glass window and looking out upon the beautiful scenery that environs this most wonderful Baden Baden of America, I recall a fondly remembered scene of the long ago on the banks of the Iroquois, in the town of Rensselaer. Clasping the hand of thought I backward wander through the varying changes ot sixteen years to a bright May morning in 1861 when with martial music and flying banners we set out for Dixie—the land of cotton, cinnamon seed, and sandy bottoms —as the Boys in Blue were wont to sing. The retrospection is a sad one, ever bring up the unanswered question: My comrades, where are they? To those who live in Jasper and read The Union a few lines from “way down South” may have some interest.

Hot Springs, from whence I write, is d stined to become the most famous of all the world-renowned health resorts. In 1832 congress reserved fromjsale four sections of land, embracing all of the hot springs. Among the last official acts of President Grant was the approval of a bill disposing <»f this valuable property. President Hayes has appointed a commission, consisting of ex-senator Aaron H. Cragin of New Hampshire, Hon. John Coburn, of Indiana, and exgovernor M. L. Stearns, of Florida, to. carry out the provisions of the bill, and they have entered upon that duty. lUmistdertitg all the drawbacks with which it has had to contend, the growth of Hot Springs is something wonderful. A few years ag? it consisted of a dozen log cabins and a tumbledown boarding house or two: now it is a city of four thousand iiihabitat ts, with the finest hotels in the state; it is lighted with gap; is traversed by a street railway; and its big iron bath house is the finest establishment of the kind on the continent. Then visitors arrived by the dozen in primitive stage coaches, over the roughest roads in christendom; now they arrive in hundreds by railway, the last twenty miles being made over the finest and best equipped narrow gauge railroad in the United States. In 1869 the first printing press was brought to Hot Springs; now there are two well-appointed printing offices and two dailv newspapers here. * The Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians and Roman Catholics each have church buildings, and the Presbyterians are soon to erect one. Of societies the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of ’•Pythias, Independent Order of Bnai Brilh, United Friends of Temperance, and the Young Men’s Christian Association, each have organ-, izatiens. Of lawyers there are a score, and of doctors nearly a hundred. Nearly two thousand visitors are here at present, and hotels, drug stores, bath houses and doctors, are reaping a rich harvest These fountains are indeed a Pool of Siloam to the afflicted, relieving pain and restoring the vigor and bloom of'youth. All diseases are cured or greatly benefited by a use of these Except consumption, lung affections, or diseases of the heart To those looking for netl homes in a mild climate I would say: Try Arkansas. No other state has such diversity of soil. All may besuited. Prairie land, timber land, lowland and upland in abundance can be had at low rates and on easy terms. Northern Arkansas is unsurpassed aa a fruit producing, grain growing and stock raising country. Southern Arkansas is ’belter adapted Io the • cultivation of cotton, but everything else can be grown if only planted and cared for. For grapes, peaches, strawberries, raspberries and . blackberries no place on the continent excel# Arkansas. Thd climate is mild and healthy. The winters are short and pleasant. No grasshoppers to be a burden, and no Kuklux to molest or make afraidIf seeking for a new home, try Arkansas. If in search of health, come to Hot Springs.
