Hon. Hen. F. Butler is the moat nominated inanjn America. Premium lists of the Jasper | county fair may be procured of \ Horace £. James, Rensselaer, Ind. The Colorado republicans in state convenlioh on the 19tlt, by n unanimous vote, adopted a resolution pledging the delegates of that state in the next national convention to Gen. Grant, in the event that he consents to become a candidate for the presidential nomination. ~l .f.. I -M,= M,, ... A penalty of five dollars may be collected dgaiiist any person who hitches a horse or team to a shade tree in any town or city.in Indiana. This is a state lavr. Action may be brought before any justice of the peace having-jurisdiction in the county where the offense is coiamitied. Farming lands in Jasper county of excellent quality are very cheap. Taxes arelow,public improvements are fair, society is liberal, law-abid-ing and good. There is no better place in the wide world for people ot small means to make comfortable homes. Those who are crowded out in the mt>re thickly scltlcd parts of tho country are cordially invited to come and look over the ground.

During all the period offiu.ancial depression from which the people ot the United States aro just emerging, not a single business firm or man in the town of Rensselaer has failed or tlic'licnefits of the bankrupt law. With the single exception of one man who came hero for that purpose in 1868 or 1869, no bankruptcy Case has been credited to Rensselaer. This speaks well for the integrity of the people in business here and they are entitled toYecognitiou as honest Wk.

Will B. Hoover died at Burnetts

ville, Ind., last Sunday, aged 29 years. In 1873 he became conneotde with ihe Logansport Journal, and shortly afterwards Wats’ employed as its local editor. In 1877 he became proprietor of the Monticello Democrat , which relation he sustained at the time of his death. As a man, he was sunny and genial. As an editor, ambitious to excel, a sparkling, vivacious writer, a fearless combatter ol that which he believed to be wrong. He was enterprising and industrious, and did

his work well. It is not invidious to sfiy tlWt Monticello was never honored with the presence of a better newspaper man. Indeed in his specially as <hs reporter of local .events ho had no superiors among contemporaries of the rural press in Indiana.

Secretary fcvarts is charged with having said in a recent speech that “the South went into the rebellion and lost all but hes honor. The South went into Congress and lost all it had saved from the rebellion,” It is doubtful if Secretary Evarts is correctly reported. The sentiment is both loolish and disloyal. Treason is the blackest crime that .can he committed against society. They who deliberately commit such crime have lost, or at least are devoid of, all honor. Willioutcause the South rebelled against the authority of the government. She committed treason against the wisest, most just and most liberal sys-' tem of government that has been devised on C a rift. She did it with deliberation, and consented fa arid was the wicked principal in the commission of all the stupenduous

crimes that were attendant upon this monstrous progenitor of crime. The horrors of a civil war which she precipitated were intensified by the barbarous butcheries of honorable soldiers as at iVt 1 PiiloW, and by the awfnl, fiendish cruelties practiced upon the unfortunate prisoners at Libby and AndersoDvllfe. For the avowed purpose of dejdetfrrg the ranks of thore who were fighting in a glorious cause for human liberty and for their

nation’s honor, she Consented to, justified and glorified in these her ati*<>cionß crjtnga. When tiie South went into the she lost all, all including her honor. The South . went into Congress and proved to ffte the world that Vbe glories' rn hes damning shame.
