Our ancient eneniy3he democratic party, that has been killed and pro, nounced dead and damned for its treasonable and vile deeds, not less than forty and one times, is again . busy with its machinations, in try ing to divide onr forces and thus conquer its knowing full well, that a long as we present a solid pha lanx, they can not succeed, i They are using their best endeavors to make a dicker with the Granger'' ' element, and they hope to succeed, like they did a few years ago, with the freesoil element and elected 1 that prince Of Democratic hnmbngs, the "present Mayor'.', of cur. city, to the legislature. "' Recollect, fellow-. .', Republican's, there is ove thing that the le tiling Democrats in this State -would give their Tight eyes to ac compiih'n, and that is to obtain , a majority of their party iu the next legislature.

' ; ; Mar Aka th 9Iyr,s Vt. We have had many a ."boat" with James Elder, the whilom editor of the Jeffersonian, and in that capacity he .had grabbed a license to garble and misrepresent his opponents without stint, because that seemed to be his natural bent.' No one expected anything better from him, and hence were . never disappointed I ' ' ' - From disuse, we had thought a cure ' had been effected; hut, in consequence . of the , recent very foolish vote this E same James Elder gave as Mayor, on I the . motion to reduce his salary to 1,000 dollars,' and the line oi defence he sets up in Order to justify that votei the same natural disposition crops out that he displayed as editor of the Jeffersoniaa so notoriously. . For ' the credit of the city and dignity ot the " office, we would it were otherwise. We did not assert or make "pre- - tense that any portion of the salary allowed him. (Bennett) was for services as attorney." We only said that which the records will bear as out in, . that "the Council was induced by him Mayor Bennett) to dispense with the ; aid of City 'Attorney he agreeing to 1 serve in that capacity provided his salary Was raised for Mayor." , We I did not my that Mayor is. had acted ' , la feOTH ' capacities, as - the present 'Mayor Intimates 'we did. . It was the understanding by the Council of that day, that the benefit to the Treasury by abolishing the attorney's office, wouU be effected in the way of assess ing fines on violators of the ordinances adding the amount exacted for the - fees of that Officer to the fines imposed ' on the criminal. Had Mayor Bennett atrictly followed out this proposition, I after the abolishment of, the office, even Mayor Elder is not quite dolt enough not to perceive the point made bv our figures at the close of our last ' .waek's article (which he pronounces, "simply ridienlons,") m. regard., to ' the additional sum , it - wouH hv placed into tha treasury amounting

to more than double the increase then

made to his salary. The only object we had in gfin.-Tihowiaj ap the "pees" receiV& by tfec City Attorney was to pffsotrth little stump speech Mayor Elder 'Bad injected' info the bowels of his defense, that, if Mayor Bennett, "was worth all the salary he received," (1500 dollars) "reasonable and sensible people can judge whether or not 1200 dollars is . an extravagant , salary for the present- Mayetr' espedaily, he should have added, when he himself gave the casting rote fixing it , at that sum! .. , - If Mayor.. Elder, really believes a "lunatic' wroto ''our editorial on' "hfn little 200 dollar grab, last week, the length of his reply and the effort he makes to lefute the positions there taken in condemnation of that "grab," is anything but complimentary' to his own lunacy; and a serious question forces itself, on the consideration of "reasonable and sensible people,'' if fatuity had not taken possession of ', the city's . executive, rendering ! him unfitted to exercise the functions of Mayor? ; -.-': :f...: . .-v.ji : ' ; The free use towards us of epithets .denominating what we have said as ."lies" "iDfinouly false," etc.; may ' be a Mayor's prerogative, and a patent mode of exhibiting dignity, and of course we have iot a word to say, only it all does not justify the vote he gave ' on Mr. Bulin's motion to decrease his . salary more ; especially as lie had drawn up an ordinance, leaving hijj own salary at 1200 dollars and cutting down all other city officers' salaries! : To be sure, he very emphatically denies preparing a bill and voting for cutting down salaries;: but he dare not deDy that the hill that passed "the council, keeping his salary at 11.200 and cutting down the other city offi ccra salaries'; was prepared written out and 'nary' blank left to fill, by Mr. James Elder, himself ; and that tbe salary bill agreed to he reported by the Finance Committee, unanimously, and drawn up by the Chairman of that - committee, had all : the blanks filled with nearly the same reduction of sal ary, with the one above alluded to, with the exception of the Mayor's salary that was left blank; but the committee had agreed to reduce his (May or's) salary to 1,000 dollars cutting down the balance of tbe salaries , in the jame ratio. Dare he deny this? Baxter Law Applications. ; As we predicted, about the time the grand jury opened 'its session,1 'the good results of watching as well as -praying, has resulted from their labors, and will continue to be manifested, as their labors are successively tried be fore the Court. .'. On Wednesday, ol 1 7 last week, Charley Leive was .eon vie ted of furnishing a glass of beer to F, Fagan,when the latter was intoxica ; ted fine $3 costs $40. - He was also convicted of assault and battery, on the person of Mrs. Valentine, and . fined fl and $40 cost. ! : ' ' I,imtloa ly, i In our city, was remembered, and in pursuance of the Mayor's proclamation, business was - pretty generally suspended, between one and - four o'clock p. m., on the 30th. . Quite a Jarge procession was formed, and under the direction of Major Finney and Capt. Davenport, proceeded to Maple Grove Cemetery, where repose the remains of the most of the brave boys who fell in defense of tbeir country; and to whose memory these ceremonies of decoration were intend ed to peipetuate the ; deep debt of gratitude felt by every heart throbr bing with true patriotism and love of country, for - the invaluable services rendered by them; , for ''though dead, they yet speak." ; ; Arrived at the cemetery, led by the Richmond Cornet Band, which opened the! ceremo- - nies by a solemn dirge, the Rev. Mc Kaig made an impressive i prayer which was followed by a patriotic song by the Misses Smith, and then Rev. I. M. Hughes, delivered an address, full of truth and beauty,' from which we give the ' following extracts, pot having room for more: ., . ''Standing by these graves to-day, we might ask ourselves what is this nation that has cost us so little? this inheritance to which we are born, and that rests on as as easily as these May winds upon our brows. Divested of all the nation gives us, we would be . little if any, above tho wandering Ar . ab, or brutish Hindo. It is the na tion, in the fullness ot us meaning that shapes tbe soul ana becomes the joy or sorrow of its being. Beyond all estimate, therefore, is the nation valuable that guards the liberty, in dustry, education, i refinement and re lisrion of its teeming millions, age al ter age. i Her language and tradition, her glory and her genius, her customs and religion penetrate and mould the verv soul of the citizen. ... And these things may be all that make life of anv worth. . I ; , . "Whence then this grand something that to-day pours over our broad con- : tinent the glorious sunlight of free- ' dom. 'peace and safety that clears away the bondage and baaeness of barbarism from forty millions of peo ple, and promises tbe upluting 01 mil Hons yet to come. i . ' ' It is none of our malting, j w e lind it all ready to our band, our , birth is into it as it is upon the green earth Thia is what those hands were mnk ing that have now forgot their cunning.

The seal is elastic and is made great and strong by thrilling events standing near it, before or behind, clothing with nower its memory or its anticination. It will elaborate from these events much of its dignity and worth. Perfect Btillness is a blank a stagnation: under its bane, we all become imnntent folks, diseased with vanity. ttr erotism, or luxury, our) limbs become swollen, our souls sickly, our children smitten with tne lever 01 fashion and folly.

It is .an invocation that will not fail to meet a responsive amen," in the heart of every reader: 'May onr 'charity still crow an! strengthen as the years roll on, and may the day speedily come when every dilterence ana dissension which has tended to separate and divide us in the years that are gone, shall vanish away and be buried forever in the forgotten past, and may wc btand asa people together as never beforo, united more closely by the strong ties of a universal brotherhood, and as each succeeding year rolls round, and we meet together to pay our floral tribute, and to keep alive and perpetu ite the memory ot our honored dead, may wc torget all but their heroic deeds and death; may we forget everything connected with the eventful past, but its heroism and grandeur, and may we act and more on in the living, active and happy present, ever looking forward to the glorious future, which as to the past, will be as the brightness of a noonday sun to the gray mists of the morning. s Mr. Z. P. Hotchkiss, read au appro priate and beautiful original poem. From Earlham, the procession went to the Public Cemetery where repose ten soldiers all trace of four of their graves have been obliterated. The committee, after placing wreaths up on the graves that, were recognized, placed wreaths upon the ground and strewed flowers,' where their remains were supposed to lie. Our neighbor of the Independent, gives the following interesting incidents: ; "Before the ceremonies were cou eluded, an aged colored woman ap proached the committee, and said with tears in her vhs "' hnshand Was a soldier; he died aty Peteisburg. His grave is near by. ' The committee followed the old lady and 'decorated the grave of this hero. There was uoth ing to indicate that there was a grave on the spot, hut the old lady had not forgotten her ' husband sne knew where he was reposing, and hopes to meet him in"the 'b'tteirland. " Une old lady, a rriend, has a son interred in Maple Grove, who gave his life for hiscountry. Every year she and her venerable husband attend the decoration ceremonies. Saturday, she I brought a large basket full of flower .n Zr f Tt'- fln T mu do " - 1 - - - but don't forget the soldiers who gave their lives for U3. When the wreath was placed on the tombstone bearing the name of "Willie," and the flowers scattered over the grave, could those who think it s no use to decorate have seen the tears of that aged! man and wife, they would have changed their opinion, and endorsed the sentiment that we are glad to see sanctioned by our National Congress and : most of our btate Legislatures,- that is our duty, in memory of these who have given their lives to perpetuate toe Ifcgs-Q we enjoy, to repair, annually on : the 30th of May, and decorate the graves of the fallen heroes lth, low ers.

FROM LAl'ORTE. ;;Laporte, 5th, Moi'ffi, 1874.

v Ep; Palidicm: 9ff the 191 tpoke to. a' good house ati Marion; Grant 'county . Here I- met nator Steele, wBOpushed the temperance bill through" the Senate with great still and energyrAs T passed Through : Hartford' CityvI ifopnd .that -since I had been there.three months previous, . 1" . .... ..... all the saloons had been closed. On" the ?$20th; I addressed" a, large crowd in the Court'Housc, at Peru.' Considering that there' was onltwo hours time to make the' announcement, the audience was Very .large. While here . I learned that at' Xenfa" every saloon had been closed! When there ten weeks ago there were four saloons in that town, ; . i.. ,. t,)h ; On the 21st we had a large gathering at Rochester, Fulton, county, ' , A noble work progressing there. J . .. -' On the 22d I addressed a large crowd from the Conrt House steps, at Plymouth. When here two months ago I could not get a meeting. Since then the cause has nobly progressed. At the last municipal election in this city they had a square vote On the temjverance question the temperance ticket carrying everything and this, too, in a Democratic city; thus showing that the Democracy are moving in

the good cause. In that ward ju ThJJbfjRn th fa

the moat saloons were situated lt.went with the largest majority for temperance. Tints the world moves. i . On the 23d I addressed a large meeting in front of the Court House at L?porte. On the 24th I spoke twice at Laporte once in the Presbyterian meeting house, and in the evening at the public Hall. , On the 25th we addressed a very interesting audience -at the Opera Iloue, South Bend. Here we were honored with the piesence of that noble and devoted statesman and temperance advocate, ex-Vice lVesi dent Colfax, with whom we spent a very pleasant hour after the lecture. His time is fully occupied in lecturing it various points, doing a grand jrprk for humanity and right. ' ,' - , 1 ; On the 26th we spoke to, a full house at Mishawaka. J Here we', met wiffi minister Brown of tho M. E. Church,, whom we found just as earntfct ia the good cause as when he lived in RichmOIld. -; V, ; I ' ' ' Ou the 27th: I spoke twice in South Bend. Iu the afternoon fron the Court House f tops, and in the evening at the Opera House. Both meetings were very large and deeply interesting. At South Bend I met two brothers of Daniel Bulla. They have been set-. : tied here'many' years, and are highly 'respected. At South Bend is : the Studebaker brothers' celebrated waggon factory, the largest in the world. They turn out fifty wagons every working day. was kindly shown through the establishment by Peter- Studebakcr; found it a Wonderful hive of industry. The systematic arrange ment of every department,' the completeness; ot their immense stacks of timber, and the'tre mendous stack of wagons, carriages, &c, almost bewildered me.' This is another evidence what may be done when men work faithfully together lor one grand object, as in the case of the Gaar family, of our own city. W.B. ' From the Counersvlle Times. ' ' ' "HaHhliiK-ton Letter, i ' I Editor Times: "Sir: As my po- . .it s'.tion lor some time past nas ocen onerous I have not troubled your readers with any communications! But as the District Investigation is drawing to a close, 1 will send you a short article of a miscellaneous character. The appropriation bills have all, or nearly ail, passed the House, and the Senate' has taken action on some of them. The Senate pased a new Currency Bill and the House has taken it, up, leavingouly the Civil Rigkts Bill and the Bankrupt Law as measures of general interest for the two Houses to act on. It is'thoughr flat Congress may be able to adjourn on the 22d of June, in compliance with joint resolution already passed. But as it is generally believed that the Investigation of the affairs of this District will terminate in an entire1 reorganization of its government, and it will doubtless end in the overthrow of the Board of Public Works.: It will require time and consultation to settle a matter so important and comfdicafed; there may be need for a proongation of the time for a few dajs. ' I have been an officer of the Sciate for two months, and Can ce nearly all over the Chamber from my seat,' veil have not been able to spend t wo haurs inside in all that time, and have had poor opportunity for an estimate . of the character or qualifications oi the men who comDOse that body. 'But this I can say: Asa body the Snate is more orderly in its rroeecding8. more courteous in interchange ofideas in debates, and more dignified m ap pearance than the .House, its mera- . bers. as a rule' are older, mitre talent . ed, and, as nearly 'all of them arc able . lawyers, they are more regular in their discussionSj but often prosaic to; dullness; Hoping to have more extended observation, I promise at some future ' time to characterize some of the more prominent Senators individually. , , I see by your list of announcements that your county officers are notlikely to go begging, and as there ire so many good men in'thc field I hope you will succeed in reelecting irorthy men for offices. There is one vacancy in vour announcements which' I am anxious to see filled, namely, tie can didate tor the .Republican nomination for Congress. : I had . hoped, without . any encouragement on his part, that Judge Wilson would consenfetto oe copy that position but he positively .declines to.be a candidate. And, as he has been urged both by myself and others to run he makes this announcement, in order to enable his friends to select, from among those who are aspiring to that position, some other candidate. He authorizes me to make the above declaration. The succussor of Julian and Wilson will have a large void to fill, i No man . lacking their application and expert ence can bll it. liut that some one capable of carrying the Republican flag to an -honorable victory . is the hope 01 your corresxndent.; ' -... , . -: Samuel Little. .

'By common consent thin joint investigation has t HUB warn tlnpg of any ono in iongrcssional historyj 1 and while tho large injority of the committee linn engaged earnestly and honestly iu the work, it is not too much to say that in its inception and firsv fctages, Mr. Wilson deserves inori; credit for shaping it aright and r jrtderiDg it searching than any other ti '.ember. 1 .
