The State Convention meets on Wednesday, June 17. 1874, at Indianapolis, and our County Republican Convention meets in mass convention, at Centervflle, on Saturday, the 6th day of June. The , objects to be accomplished by this meeting are: To appoint delegates to the State Convention, name the day on which the Republican nominating election is to be held to select candidates for the various offi ces to be filled at the fall election select township committees, out of which is to be formed the County Central Committee and adopt such resolutions as shall express the views of the Republican party of our county. We hope every Republican in the county will feel it his duty to attend, and give the old time honored party a boost" in the right direction, looking and acting for the well being of our common country, by fearlessly discharging that duty with an eye single to the moral obligations we owe each other and society, to not only "overcome evil with good," but to so shape our political action that it can not help accomplishing the greatest good to ALL. Marian Cennty Convention. At the Republican County Con vention, on Saturday last, J. II. Right, Clemens Yonnegut, Conrad Baker, and Wm. Worman, were selected as candidates for the State Legislature. We regret to notice in the Journal that Gov. Baker has declined to be a candidate for the Legislature. He says his retirement from public life is final and absolute. The German editors resolutions, declaring, opposition to the Baxter law and pledging the German citizens of Indiana not to vote for any candidate for the legislature ' favoring it, were presented, and referred to the Republican State Convention. A resolution offered by Rev. O. A. Burgess, recommend ing that the Baxter law be rigidly enforced, was likewise referred to the Republican State Convention. In noticing the nominees for Judges, the Journal gives the following sketches; two of whom will be recognized as very prominent citizens of this county, when they were much younger than now: The Hon. Horatio C. Newcomb, at present one of the Judges of the Superior Court, is the nominee of the Republican party for that office. How well he deserves the honor, his conduct speaks for itself, as he has been in public service for many years. At one time he was Speaker of tho House of Representatives, and has been on the bench since the organization of the Superior Court of Marion county. The Hon. Samuel E. Perkins, the other candidate, is also one of the present incumbents and colleagues of Judge Nowcomb. He was a Judge of the Supreme Court of the State from 1846 until 1865. Both Judge Newcomb and Judge Perking nave had experience as journalists, the former having been political editor of the Journal, and the latter having been editor of the Sentinel sometime. Judge Perkins succeeded to the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-j tion of Judge Rand, about a year after the organization of the court. Hon. Charles H. Test, the nominee for Judge of the Criminal Court, j was born in the State of Delaware in 1802, and is therefore 72 years ' of age. When a mere boy he came West before the State government of Indiana was organized. He studied law with the 'Hon. Jesse L. Holden, and commenced practicing at Rushville in 1822. Judge Test! has presided over the Circuit Courts of Wayne and Tipecanoe, and has been for many years Criminal Court Judge of Marion county. From 184'J until 1853 he filled the honorable position of Secretary of State; and has been a member of both the Senate and. House of Represent stives. The fact that he is accredited with being the oldest jurist in the State, his well known rigid adherence to principle, and his fearless administration of "the cold law," as he calls it, have made him well known to the people. As an incident, it is said that Judge Test carried the chain for the surveying party that laid out the original plat of Indianapolis. It is said that the "Wilson feed patent," which the sewing machine companies are now trying to have extended by Congress, requires the people of this country to pay $6,000,000 a year, more for sewing machines than they would otherwise hare to. The extension, of the patent will be an outrage on the people which we cannot think Congress will be guilty of. Tb currency ht one thousand millions less than it was in 1865, as we have repeatedly shown in detail, and yet the confiacationiata insist that our parrency is daaferomahr 'iBnatsdr .,

THKJ s,sws. Farmer's Club No. 8, at its first May 7th meeting, 1874, passed without dissent, the accompanying preamble and resolutions, and instructed its secretary to present the tame to the Richmond papers and the Indianapolis Sentinel for publication: Whereas, the political leaders of the old parties have rendered themfclvcs guilty ol wanton disregard of the laws of the land, and have acted as if the laws had binding force, only for those who are governed, and not for those who govern; and Whereas, they have stood in the way of necessary investigation?, and indispensible reforms, pretending that serious fault can be tounu in tlie administration of public affairs; thus reeking to bliud the understanding of the people; and V hereas, They are striving to maintain themselves in power for selfish motives, by an unscrupulous employment of the authority which rightfully belongs to the people, and should be used only in the service ol the country, and Whereas, Recent developments iu Congress and in our Legislatures prove to us that office-holders, office-t-eekers and politicians, without retard to party, have become so debased, as a class, that they are no longer worthy of the reppect and confidence of the people; and. Whereas, By an unparalleled system of political wire-working," chicanery and "lobbying," the lees and salaries of public officers have been increased at a time when the people .were most grievously oppressed by taxation and burdened with a heavy national debt when every consideration of justice, honesty and economy demanded that they should be reduced ; therelore, be it Resolved, That wo concede the equality of all before the law, and . maintain that it is the duty of government to mete out equal and exact justice to all, irrespective of race, color or persuasion, religious or political. Resolved, That tho primary object ot free government is proper protection of persons and property and that the laws should be faithfully administered to secure this; and ' Resolved, That we are in favor of political reform, and to that end we demand honesty, economy and purity ot official life. Resolved, That we discard and ut- . terly repudiate the politicians' maxim, "to the victors belong the spoils," making the civil service of the government a mere instrument of partivan tyranny nnd personal ambition, an object of selfish and voracious greed, a scandal, disgrace and reproach on our free institutions; but instead thereof we are in favor of civil service reform making honesty and capacity the only claims for public employment. , Resolved, That we will let the office seek the man instead of the man the office, and will select for all offices, honest, capable and incorruptible men, and thus make office once more what it should be, a post of honor. Resolved, That we are opposed to all grants of land to railroads or other teorpoiations, as we hold that the public domain should be held sacred for .actual settlers. Resolved, That the industrial interests of the nation must be carded and protected against the exactious of monopolies and gigantic corporations. Resolved, That the pretended repeal of the "increased salary" and '"'back pay" law, after the appropriation of the "grab," both before and jifter sevice performed, by many memjers of congress, and the failure to Jtpply it to tho president, is a gross deception and fraud upon the public, iind nothimr short ot its unqualified (repeal will satisfy the just demands of (id outraged people. - Resolved, That we are in favor of a general curtailment of the fees and I alaries of all officers; more particularly in the fees of the clerk of the Circuit Court, sheriff and county treasurer, which are now beyoud all 'reason in our more populous counties; and that we eaTly and earnestly call 'the attention of the people to this subject. Resolved, That we are beginning to learn who are our friends, and who our enemies and when the time comes we will use just discrimination at the ballot box; and support none but those who are true to the interests hnd welfare of the people. Resolved, That we ask the people to unite and act with us at the polls, and aid in arresting the progress of official corruption and political niisVule, as it becomes more than ever the tluty of all good citizens to require a trict adherahce to and faithful compliance with the principles upon which our political institutions rest. Resolved, That in the corrupt credit mobilier" fraud, the congressional salary swindle and official embezzlement, and the hundreds of other cabals, combinations, steals, frauds, tricks, stratagems and swiudles by which democratic and republican leg'slators, congressmen and office holders, have enriched themselves, impoverished the country, defrauded and disheartened the people, we find the importance of independent and decisive action, and the necessity of united effort; and cordially invito all men, of whatever calling, occupation, business, profession, trade or vocation, regardless of past political views and affiliations to unite with us in removing the evils and wrongs that so seriously affect and concern us all. J. Graham, Pres't. S. C. Hill, Secy. He-reiser's UWtiUha. About the Pope, H. Ward Beec.her says: I have a great many friends in Rome, the Pope among them. He never came to see me, but I had just as lief go and see him as not. He would hardly say I was orthodox, but I really believe he is orthodox. I would ordaiu him to preach, and I would let him preach here if he would ask me. I really believe the old man is a good man, with some cobwebs in his head, but they will be brushed away before long; we all have got them in some way or another, and whatever there is in him that is pure, and true, and right, makes him my brother. A correspondent writes that there is a bitter conflict in Montgomery county over the proposed new court house. The grangers, farmers, and residents in the smaller towns think that an 80,000 dollar building would be costly enough, but the County Commissioners have voted 150,000 dollars for the purpose. The people will vote upon the question, and, it is said, defeat the larger appropriation. - The Masons of Eastern Indiana celebrate St. John's day June 24 this year at Connersville. A grand time has been amply provided for. There will be a straight out temperance convention called and a ticket nominated in Montgomery county.

AN IRREPARABLE CALAMITY.

r Ufa Hatdemvillx, Mass., May 16. The large reservoir, about four miles north of this place, burst about 8 o'clock this morning, and water came rushing down the hills, carrying everything before it. The flood struck the southeastern portion of Williamsburg village, two miles north of this place, carrying away a largo number of dwellings, and sweeping along to Skinner ille, demolished Skinner's large silt mills and his boarding and dwelling houses. Continuing on tho waterB struck the large brass manufactory I of Hayden, Gere & Co.. sweeping it away in an instant. Large stones and machinery were swept through the main streets at a fearful rate, and well built houses were instantly crushed, not giving the inmates a moment's warning. The Hood caught the village of Leeds, where a large number of shops, dwellings, etc., were swept away. The loss of life is very heavy in killed and drowned, whole families having boen carried over dams. It is im possible at this time to give the number of lives lost. From 130 to 140 bodies, so far, have been taken out of the drift and rubbish, and moEt of them identified. There is great excitement in Florence over the destruction of life and property in consequence of the bursting of the reseivoir. At Leeds the silk mill and button shop were both carried a way. The ski tion agent of the New Haven and Northhamption company with bis wife wero drowned. Several other bodies were seen going down the stream, but so swift was the current that they could not be recovered. The reservoirs which broke thro' their embankments, causing such havoc, were constructed to supply the manufactories of Williamsburg. Leeds and Ilaydenville. These towns have nearly been destroyed. The loss is estimated at over 51,000,000. Fifteen bridges, twelve factories and 75 buildings have gone, and 400 people are homeless. The President has issued a proclamation rccogn;z:ng Baxter as legal (iovernor ot Arkansas, and warning the Brook party- to diserse to their homes. We intimated on Wednesday that this would probably be done, and gave our reasons which are tl.oue substantially as th w expressed in the opinion -of' the Attorney General, on which the proclamation is tounded. (Jeneral Williams says that the President has no means for verifying the elaim ol Brooks to a majority ot the votes, for he cannot go lehind the action of the General Assembly, iu which is vested the power,"aud the exclusive power, to determine such questions, bv the Constitution of the 8tate. If the President must decide, therefore, he must decide from the prima facie evidence before him, and ;n doing so he can see no way but to recognize Baxter. As we said on Wednesday: '"Governor Blocks deserves candid hearing before an unbiased Legislature. Anything thoit of this will not be accepted as fair or satisfactory. If the President is to decide the question without the help of that body, there is probably nothing left but to enforce their former decision, however unjust it may be, and hold 15: xter to be Governor. The Constitution provides that the Senate shall receive the returns and declare the vote, which the Senate did, deciding Baxter elected. No matter how infamous such a decision may have been, the President may be corojiellcd to regard only this action of the Senate, which is made the judge of the returns." This is what the President has done, and Jor the reasons expressed. The only remedy h it is for Urooks to once more appeal to the Legislature for justice, and if he fails to receive it. appeal to the people of the State af the next election. Strife should at once cease, and the proclamation of the President be respected and obeyed. 'Sojourner Truth," the venerable colored lady who was beard of con siderable about the close of the war, has just come to th surface again in Washington. She is "ever" so old probab'y nearly 100 and is supposed to be'tbe only survivor of the slaves of the State of New York. Sb.9 spoke frequently, in the old days, from the same platform with William Lloyd Garrison, Oliver Johnson, Lucretia Mott, and other anti slavery orators, and alwajs commanded an attentive hearing. She is now engaged in an effort to secure from Congress a donation of public lands in the West for the use and occupation of" aged and infirm colored people who are de pendent and unablo to support themselves. She attended a concert given by one of the colored Sabbath schools of Washington a few evenings since, and sang two of the old anti slavery songs, which, she informed the audience, she had "made herself," and which she sang on her lecturing tours years ago. She also was permitted to make a five minutes' speech. Great respect was shown to her, and her efforts were warmly appladued. During the time she was on the stage some young colored swell snickered quite audibly at the old dame's un couth pronunciation, but she did not appear to notice it until the exercise was concluded, when she pointed them out to the audience, and gave them such a '-talking to' as they will not probably forget for many a day. "Aint you 6haaied o yerselves to laugh and make fun o' me when I cum yer to do yer good?" The youngsters made no reply, but the audience testified their appreciation of this little episode not in the bills by thunders of applause. The old slave woman is evidently able to paddle her own canoe, as she goes about doing good, notwithstanding her weight of year s. California exempts editors from jury duty, thinking they have trials enough in their business. It is proposed by several prominent citizens of Vineennes to organize a society for the advancement of the idea of cremation.

FROM RIPLEY COUNTY. Osgood, lad., 5th mo. 13, 74. En. PALLADimi: On tho 6th and 7th I spoke at Salem, in Washington county, to fall houses. In this county I found the law and the woman's movement have succeeded in shutting op every saloon in the county. Intemjranee has almost entirely disappeared from public gaze. The temperance people of this county deserve great praise for their perseverance. Martha Hunt preceded me at this point. Her labors were very acceptable and had been productive of much good. Every point where she had preceded me the people spoke of her efforts with warm and hearty commendation hut was sorry to find that the people do not like the manner and speeches of her husband. Nearly all said: "now. Friend Baxter, if you can only persuade Mrs. Hunt's husband to stay at home and take care of that, and let her travel in the temperance cause alone, we are sure more good will be accomplished thereby. Her speeches are clear, powerfttl and convincing; but whenever her husband gets up he is sure to neutralize the good effect she has predated." I was ' very reluctant to listen to this, but really, when I found the same kind of expression in every person's mouth, I was compelled to heed it. On the 8th, we hud a good meeting at Mitchell; on the 9th and 10th at Bedford, both in Lawrence county. This county I found strougly temperance not a licensed saloon iu the county, but at Mitchell there are three Irishmen selling whisky in defiance of law. The temperance peoJUt Lave got forty to fifty cases against tbent for violation of law. and are prosecuting them; some beloie the justice of the Ieace, others before the court thro the grand jury, with a strong probability of closing them up. On the 11th 1 spoke iu the court house at Brownstown, Jackson county, and ou the 12th at Seymour, in the same county, to a very large audience. At Seymour the city council has passed an ordinance exactiug. a fee of $500 for a permit to sell intoxicating liquors within the corporation. The Democratic convention in this county have, I understand, nominated a whisky ticket. From. -iiuia learn, th -mpcrance Democrats aad Republicans are going to unite ou what they call a "citizens' ticket," and run that. Indications are that the citizens' ticket will be elected. TIw is being done in Bartholmcw, Floyd and several other counties, with encouraging indications of success. This line of policy carried the city of New Albany most gallantly. The county I am now in (Ripley) is strongly in favor of lager and whisky. The German element is very large here mauy of them can talk about nothing else but "lager bier and pretzel." The j do not like to hear the word "temperance." It grates on their ears most fearfully, and yet it is the very principle they should espouse, for nothing is so destructive to their health, prosperity and true happiness as swilling into their stomachs so much lager beer. According to a recent statement, carefully collated from facts, prove that sinee the large increase of the consumption of lager by the German population ol this country, their average health is not so good, nor arc they near so prosperous in a pecuniary point of view. We hear much about the Germane enjoying age and hilarity by drinking their social glass of beer. In fact, they look upon this as productive of their greatest happiness. But alas! behind this social drinking there is a terrible record of sorrow and disappointment of life, if we are to judge from the amount of suicides among the Germans. According to E. D. Mansfield, there is one suicide in Ohio for every 25,000 persons. In Massachusetts one in 13,000. In France, where they drink so much light wine, there is one suicide for every 1,000 persons. In Germany, with their boasted social lager beer drinking, suicides are nearly as numerous as in France. In Cincinnati the Germans present sixfold the number of suicides that the Americans do. . What does all this prove? Why the large consumption of lager by the Germans is not only a great ob stacle to their prosperity not only subversive of health, but also fearfully destructive of their true happiness, or there would not be such a heavy proportions of suicides. We most heartily wish the Germans would look at this matter calmly and dispassionately. Then they would see that instead of the temperance movement compromising their freedom and happiness, it is indeed and in truth, the very sheet anchor to secure their liberties, their prosperity and their happiness. W. B. Witr the Responsibility Lire. Ed. Palladium: Said one of a large manufacturing firm in my bearing one day : "No, I hav'nt been much at the temperance mass meetings I don't flunk it looks well for a man to get up there and speak one way and continually be doing or acting another way. Yes, I am for temperance all . the time; but look around in this city, who is it that supports the whisky saloons? You may think it is the beer and whisky drinkers. I tell you no, it is not. It is I, and all, and every manufacturer that employs the men and pays them the money that we know will, most - of it, go right straight to the saloon keeper, instead of to supporting their families. It is we, that support nearly all the saloons in Richmond:" The above is nearly verbatim the words

i

of one of the moat successful and enterprising manufacturers of our city. It is sound sense. You, tern peranee advocate, look at it act on it, and not be so afraid you will do something. Do not keep run ning the old circumlocutory office of how not to do it Furnish ing your saloon keepers with funds, and paying your pretended temper ance publishers and advocates, for telling you what jou don't do, and poking some truth, but more jibes and sneers, right in your faces. . Stoic For the Palladium. Hat far a rewrafttl Hansen. ClUattiis cf lUcninond, lnl.: It must Ihi remembered that more than one year since, at a mass temper-" ance meeting held in Central Church, I in this city, a committee of five per- " son3 were nominated to prepare business for a future temperance mass , meeting, which has never been called ." to Teport. The committee consisted j of Rev. I. M. Hughes, Simon Sparks, a David Nordyke, Howell Graves and - j Minu Mote. A maioritv of the r committee have agreed to report that jr they have attended to the principal ; object of their appointment, viz: to j: make inquiry and get the best legal u advice in order to find out whether a 5 good title deed to real estate could be i made which contained, a proamnion elanse forever prohibiting the use of said ground for tho sale of intoxicating drinks, which clause should be blading on third parties and subsequent owners. We have to report that there is no doubt in car minds but what it can be done; that such titles are given to all lots in Irvington, near Indianapolis, in this State; and we are told that the Supreme Court of thif State has pronounced such clause in the title valid. We, therefore, call on all good citizens to join us in asking the present proprietors of all real estate iu this city, aud particularly in the territory south and cast of this city, to give no more deeds to property, ia future, except with a prohibition clause in the title. We particularly ask jou to join us ti influence the proprietors of the recent addition to Richmond, known - .iiinao rwuei is larm, now held by. Stephen Mendenhali and Charles II. Coffin. It will be forever a disgrace to this generation if we allow so fair a domain to pass under the dominiou of intemperance. Lvt it be the one re sectable quarter of our city where the blight ot a saloon shall never be seen or felt. Now is the time to act. Let us do something practical, aud at once something that even our intemperate opponents will admit there is uo ordinance against, and which the most inveterate imbiber will not callj fanatical.

The Beekin and I volunteered to take the post uv danger, which wuz the South road onto which Lucindy kGvitt lived. We went and took our stashuns, and looked up the road and then down the road. ... "There is no wimmia ia site, is there?" sod the Deekin. "Nary!" sed I, "the coast is clear. ' "Parson, the coast lein clear, isn't it time we go down to Bascom's for the refresher he spoke uv? This is fe-ir-ful'y trying dooty." I agreed with the Deekin, that, bein old men, we needed suthiu braein, and down we went. Ez we entered tho door we wuz astonished to see the other hix, at tho bar, all a takiu their drinks. We got ours, and went back, and again viewed the field. It wuz still juiet. Lucindy wuz, it wuz evident, not vet ready to move. "Deekin," sed 1, "does the fo appear "Nary foe," sed he. "The cuemy is not in site." "England cxiex every man to do his dooty, Dckin, but hedn t we better amble gently to Bascom's, and get eustainer? This is feerfully exhaustin.' Before the words wuz out uv my mouth, the Deekiu bed made a dozeu rods. I wuz pleased to see tho old man so active. We reached Bascom's in a very short time very short, indeed, and there, somewhat to my surprise, stood the other six, nil cookin the pregnant hinges uv the elbow. Bascom did not hev a pleased expression on his countenance. Ak'u we departed for our posts, and we peered up and down the road. We saw suthiu' movin out uv Issaker's house! It wuz a female. The second look reveeled the muskeler form uv Lucindy! Shehed her sun buunet on and a axe in her hand! "Deekin! sed I. "stand firm. That enraged woman is a goin for Bascom. Let us acquit ourselves like men." ' The Deekin's nose grew blooer, but his lips closed om'nosly. I felt I rood depend on him. But Luc:ndy didu't go out the front door yard.

The first site that met myeyesezwe entered Bascom's wuz the other six a standing back from the bur and lissenin to Bascom who wuz gesticulatin wildly. "This little game is played out," sed Bascom. "You git no more likker uv me except in the rcgler way." "But, Bascom," sed I, "ef we guard yoor procrty, its ez little ez yoo kin do to keep us in refreshments. Consider our ardoous servis." "Bah!" wuz his reply. "Yoo've bin on dooty an hour aud yoo've drunk four times, wich iz to say thirty-two drinks iu an hour. I've bin exercisin' a little 'rithmetic while yoo wuz out, tho yoo didn't stay away long cnuff to give me to do a sum in simple mulfiplercashun decently.

I don't see that it makes any difference to me where it runs, ef I don't git nothiu f or it. Gentlemen, its money, or no likker!" And here it ended. Bascom wuz inflexible. Tlie -rosery hez no organized pcrtckshun. Ef we hev to money, we tin git no likker, and without likker we shel git too weak to hev the power to resist. Whenever Lucindy ana her petticoated hosts apiear, they will hev an easy victrv. Iam without he. PETliOLEUM V. NASBY, (With wuz Postmaster). Beeliera TtnpfruM C'rl. Henry Ward Bceeher answers as follows an inquiry as to the protcr ground to take in the temperance discussion and practice: Dear Sir: I do not think any man in health is the better for using intoxicating drinks. Total abstinence is the rational and safe remedy or intemperance. I am in favor ot all measures for the prevention or suppression of traffic in alcoholic drinks, which experience has shown to be feasible; but, on the other hand, I am utterly opposed to bigotry or violence or partisan feeling in behalf f temperance, ns 1 am to the same qualities in religion, in politics, and in all other causes. I have been from boyhood, and am now, an ardent lover of my kind, and desire to sec my fellow men free from the despotism of strong drink; but would win them from danger ant. disgrace by reasoning, by moral influence, and by kindness, rather than by any form of violence. I hold that preventive laws are right in principle, and should be employed wherever public sentiment is trong enough to sectxro their execution; but at present, the tone of feeling is so low that I think stringent legislation would fail of its end, and so Le worse than useless. Very truly yours. Henrt WardBeecher. It Want Wark W Ith Balls. A professor in Vermont who was a believer in the "power of the human eje, realized the power of the doctrine to his sorrow. Determined to convince the skeptics of its truth, he selected a ferocious bull who was the terror of the neighborhood as the object of his experiment. The result was not altogether successful. Surrounded by a retinue of disbelievers, the scientific gentleman sauntered into the pasture where the thoughtful bull was peacefully grazing. He fixed upon the bull his eagle eje, but the ferocious old animal quailed not, neither did he retire in melodramatic trder, but the last thing seen of the professor was his archaeological form tossed twenty-seven feet into the air and coming down on the other side of the fence. His physical injuries were slight, but his faith in scientific mesmerism, as illustrated in bulls has been greatly weakened. J A New Albanian has in his possession a copy of the first paper published in that city. It was called the Microscope, &ad appeared in 1824.
