New Bank.—A» soon aS thd northwest corner ground room el the Nowels building is finished, it will be occupied by Messrs. R. S. & Z. Dwiggins ns n banking office* The establishment will be called the Citizens Bank. It must make a man feel mean in every crevice of his system to find that those for whom he has done disreputable work despise him for it. llere is the estimation in which the senator of this district is held by a prominent democratic newspaper of New Albany: The Leda cr-Standard has no word of defense for traitors, time-servers and demagogues, even though it may seem that the democracy is temporarily the gainer by the treachery of a political opponent- It la no victory for democrats to win by unfair means. got his price, and the buyers are no better than the seller. 1 UffiTED States Senator.—Hou. Daniel W. Voorhees was elected to the United Sefiite for the fractional and full terms, by the legislature of Indiana, on Tuesday. - The joint vote was as follows: FOR THE FRACTIONAL TERM. Voorhees 83 Orth 59 Buchanan 3 Shackleford 1 Ms. Voorhees’ majority..... 20 FOR THE FULL TERM. Voorhees«... 83 Harrison t 00 Buchanan.«:«« <«.t«..-;.;...._ 3 Mr. Voorhees’ majority 20 Senator George Major and Representative George 11. Brown, elected as nationals from republican districts, both voted fol'Mr. Vouchees.

Bad Breath.—A good deal Us bad breath has been blown by the newspapers of national and repub' lican proclivities because of what they term Senator Major’s, treachery to his pledges to Jiis constituents and the national party, as ! shown by his uniting with the deiir ocrats in the organization of the senate. The Indianapolis Sun and the Terre Haute Express, tl.c ablest advocates in Indiana of nationalism, are particularly severe in their criticism of Mr. Major’s conduct- ( The Union does not join with the ' howling of that rabble. Mr. Major is consistent in tills action. As Senator Reeve said in a recent letter to the Chicago Times “Mr. Major lis a democrat.” Nearly or quite three-fourths of all who voted for him are democrats, and all of twothirds of the other fourth, though republicans heretofore, wotild have | preferred the mast ultra democrat in the district to the republican candidate, whom, for some cause, they were intensely hostile to. Mr. Major had pursued a precisely similar course two years ago. For the privilege of.naming the clerk of the senate he cast his lot with the democracy, although he had been elected as an independent claiming to be opposed to “both of the corrupt old parties.” During the last campaign this action was freely discussed by the republican press of Mr. Major’s district, which went farther predicted that if again elected he would servo the democracy; Mr. Major made no denial of this, but by his silence tacitly ad* mined its truth and accepted the affirmative side of; the issue. The result was a pronounced vindication of his public record and a plain instruction to repeat his tactics. He was elected by a handsome majority from a district iof four countiej. each claimed by the republicans, which said “we prefer Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees for United States senator.” Mr. Major in the organization of the senate acted consistently, and the people of his district generally aro.probably at well satisfied with the selection of Daniel D. Dale for clerk of the senate as they would have been with Thomas B. Buchanan, Col. Bitiy W-ihjoß, John L. Miller, Thomas Boroughs, or any other individual member of that wing of the Indiana democracy. That Senator Major and Representative Brown should ally themselves with the democratic party is just as natural as it is for geese eggs to hatch outgoslings. The strictures upon tliem have been indulged in by the republican press arise fronF'ignorance of the conditions that surround these men and a misapprehension of facts, probably; those of the Sun and the Express are merely hbwls 'oT' rage at finding their trading stock appropriated by shrewder deiuagogttas.

NUMBER 19.

Reorganization of the Jasper Counly Agricultural society.

On last Saturday afternoon an adjourned or supplemental meeting of persons Interested hi maintaining a county agricultural society whose annual fairs shall be held on the grounds at Rensselaer, was held at the court bouse; The meeting was called to order by Judge E. P. Hammond, upon whose motion Hon. Win. K. Parkison was elected chairman, and Horace E. James secretary. It was announced that the indebtedness of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association was about *2,200; that its assets consist of 20 acres of land, improved for a fair ground, valued at 91,000 or *1,200; that extensive repairs would be necessary before another fair was held; that the annual receipts of the society since its organizatiem, seven years ago, has averaged enough, takitig one year with another, to pay the piemiums offered and current expenses incurred in holding the fairsFor the purpose of clearing the society of its indebtedness and placing the local lairs upon a safe and permanent basis it had been proposed to reorganise the society in the manner indicated in the following constitution and articles of association!

This association shall lie known as the “Jasper County Agricultural Society,” and Its objects shall be the iinprovemeiijj»f agriculture and the promotion and encouragement of the mechanical arts in Jasper county, Indiana. Article 11. The capital stock of this society shall lie twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500), divided into one hundred (100) shares of twenty-five dollars ($25) each. The capital stock may be increased at any time by the board of directors.

A quorum of the board of directors shall consist of not less than seven members. The board of directors may adopt by-laws for thekociety. < It may fill any vacancy occurring Uy reason of the death, resignation or removal from the county of any director or other officer of the society. The board of directors shall immediately after their election, elect from among their own number one presi' dent, one vice president, one general supcrentendent of the fair, one chief marshal, one secretary, and one treasurer, who shall hold their offices for one year, and until their successors are elected. Such officers shall perform the duties usually pertaining to such offices, and ail such duties as the board of directors by their by-laws and orders may from time to time assign them. Article IV.

Article V. The seal of this society shall be a stamp containing the words “JasperCouuty Agricultural Society.” Article VI. Each share of stock shall entitle the holder thereof to two tickets admitting the persons named in the tickets to the fair during its continuance each year. PLEDGE OF SUBSCRIPTION. We, the undersigned citizens of Jasper county, Indiana, do hereby subscribe our names to the foregoing constitution aud articles of association of the Jasper County Agricultural Society, aud take the number of shares of the capital stock of said society that are set opposite our respective daffies; and for each of the shares of stock so taken by us we'hgree to pay to Charles C. Starr, on rtt before the 18th day of January, 1879, for the use and benefit of said society, the sum of twenty-five dollars in money or in lawful claims against the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association. It is understood that each subscriber hereto binds himself only for the payment of the number of shares of stock taken by himself. On tlie full payment as aforesaid of the number of shares of stock subscribed for, and on the election of a presidenLund secretary for this society, certificates of stock are to be issued to the members paying for such shares of stock. It was reported by the committee having charge of the matter that in the neighborhood of .forty shares of stock bad been subscribed and pledged. As the result of discussion it was thought to be advisable lo make a temporary or provisional organization by the election of a board of directors to have charge of the interests and business of the reorganized sociely. Preceding the selection of this board Judge Hammond offered the following resolution, which was adopted by the meeting of stock subscribers! Resolved, That neither the board of directors th Is, day to be elected nor their successors in office shall incur any debt whatever against this society until the one hundred shares of capital stock provided tor in our articles of association shall have been subscribed. ■ ——■. - Ort motion proceeded totheeleoi lion of a board of directors, which i resulted iu toe choice of the follow-
