Thursday, the 16th day of July, 1874, at 1 o'clock, P. nominate a candidate for Congress. The basis of represen-1 tation in the Convention, will be I the same as that fixed by the State j Central -Committee, for the State ! Convention. By order of the Committee for J the Fifth District , L. J. Monks, Chairman. cbeel Htm Lots,. Last week, in an article on the selection of those Tenth street lots by oar Trustees, we spoke rather disparagingly of the pbicje givea by them. We were arguing against the location as being inconvenient of access to the children of the Fourth Ward, and the PRICK, therefore, had nothing to do with determining that Question. Even

i jtho lota were a donation, tfcat fact j would not mend the incouvenienee. ' yx.-:j.. i iL. t . f

kiucb, w were ir7wn me ngurefl at which lots immediately adjoining and surrounding the school trustees' par-

I chase, were sold at, and we are com

pelled to admit that the price of $000 each compares favorably with the .price received for them. We eay this much in justice to the proprietors ef die Roberts addition, of whom the Scheol Trustees purchased. We hope the Trustees will, if possible, relocate the fchool house lets. The refusal of the Council to isswe Bonds, puts a quietus on that means of erecting a school house for some time to come; but it ahoald aotetop bore. We hope the Trustees will levy a sufficient tax this year and next to raise the funds for both the purchase of the ground and the erection of the house, and, wheu that accomplished, put the house up and pay for it in cash, and thus avoid the very doubtful policy (we think) of resorting to the more expensive and costly plan of issuing bonds for that purpose. Iu criticising the course pursued by our Trustees, wo expressed ourself that it was obligatory on them, first before making a purchase of ground or building, to levy a tax; but the law, which we copy below, does not make that course imperative, as will be seen, before asking the Council to assist theui. On the score of economy, we like the tax plan for buying lots and building school houses thereon, better than bonds. Here is the lawale ml Bands tor Hell 1 Pr An Act to amend an act entitled, M An Act to authorise cities and towns to negotiate and sell bond, to procure nienns with which to erect and complete unfinished

j school buildings, and pay debts contract ed for erection of such buildings, aud authorize the levy aud coliectlou of an additional special school tax for the paymeat of principal and Interest of such.

The Philadelphia North American makes the pertinent suggestion that a very large part of the clamor that is raised in reference to the indebtedness of the Southern fctates is intended to 'make a case unon which a demand can be based that the United States Government shall assume and pay the hmHa " There is a eood deal of force in this hypothesis, and the election of a Democratic President and Congress in 1876 would probaDiy soon De 101lAiiod hv a formal presentation and recognition of the "demand." 1 --nr TMKilAnt Grant has appointed General Howard to the command of tne 'IJeparuaeni. y headquarters of this department are at

Oar Diffnlfled Mayor ! In giving the " slight contrast" of Mayor Elder's mode of administering justice awaiting bo patiently for " filed information," when infractions of law occurred in his presence we inadvertently vexed him, and he became so exceedingly wroth that he suffered his natural inclination to low scurrility to get the better of his dignitywhich is a very sad ! Our informant, regarding the "mill," mentioned it as occuring in the presence of j Mayor Elder, and that the young man was making complaint to him (the Mayor.) Supposing that all complaints that were made to that dignitary, took place IN his office, we said so. The only discrepancy between our statement last week and the facts, is, that the complaint was made to the Mayor, whilst he was sitting in a chair in front of Engine House No. 3, instead of being in his office, and that, instead of His Honor's "jumping about with the agility of an elephant," he actually sat perfectly quiet and still in his chair, during the progress of the "fight." Our description was O. K. with these two exceptions, and we are only surprised that our dignified Mayor should permit his pen to make a blackguard of himself, for a difference so trivial! The avalanche of " cards," Mayor Elder writes and procures to be written, for himself, policeman Macke, and our friend Williams, does not help the matter so far as the Chief's fight is concerned, or the Mayor's witnessing the same. He didn't take cognizance OF THAT BREACH OF THE peace, committed -in his presence. That's the point. Mr. Macke will see, by reference to our article of last week, that we only gave the statement of the fellow whom the Chief called a '" liar," and who fought that sinecurist (we mean the Chief) in the presence of Mr. Elder,(we mean the Mayor,) whilst the proprietor of the Phillips House will see that we stated.very explicitly, that he (we mean Williams) " discharged him (we mean the fellew that licked the Chief,) for general bad conduct." That's all. '

Mr. Becher Bequests an Investig-a-lion. On the 7th of July Mr. Beecher addressed a note to the Executive Committee of Plymouth Chnrch, stating that he had requested certain gentlemen, members of tho church of the society, to make a thorough and detailed examination into the rumors, insinuations or charges made respecting his conduct, and asked them if they approved of his selection, to add their official appointment to his personal request. The letter asking the gentlemen to serve was as follows: Brooklyn, June 27, 1874 . - Gents : In the present state of the public feeling I owe it to my friends and tho church, and tho society over which I am pastor, to have some proper investigation made of the rumors, insinuations, or charges respecting my conduct as compromised by the late publications made by Mr. Til ton. I have thought that both the church and the society should be represented, find take the liberty of asking the following gentlemen to serve in this inquiry, and to do that which truth and justice may require. I beg that each of the gentlemen named will consider this as if it had been seperately and personally sent to him to-day: From the Church, Henry W. Sage, Augustus btorrs, Henry M. Cleveland; from the society, Horace B. Claflin, John Winslow, J. F. White. I desire you, when you have satisfied your selves by an impartial'and thorough examination of all the sources of evidence, the church will take such action as may then seem to you right and wise. Signed, Hekby Ward Beecher. '., The examining committee recog nizing the representee character of the men thus appointed, unan imously adopted the action of the pastor, and formerly authorized the gentlemen named to act as a committee on its behalf, and report the result 01 their inquiry for its information and further action. The Congregationlist lately suggested that the charges against Mr. Beech er should be referred for examin ation to several distinguished men in several parts of the country, but Mr. Beecher seems to have thought that the matter might more appro priately bo referred to members of his own church and society, whose interest in the purity of its ministry would make them do their work thoroughly and impartially, and who, having been chosen to official trusts by their fellow members, would especially command their confidence. This however is in accordance with the principles and genius of Congregationalism, which impos upone every church the duty of settling its difficulties, without needlessly troubling others. Mr. Tilton'B publication, it will be remembered, was made Thursday, June 25. Mr. Beecher, coming to the city Friday, conducted his usual prayer meeting,and Saturday, 27th, wrote the above letter asking the church to investigate the matter. The committee has entered upon its work and will prosecute it to the earliest possible completion. The second letter of Mr. Beecher, also addressed to the examining committee, is not contained in the above article. It was obtained last nierht by a Tribune reoorter, and is as follows: July 5, 1874 . Dear Brethren : The enclosed letter, in which I have requested three gentlemen from the church, and three from the society of 1'iy mouth church, gentlemen of unimrieachoble repute, and who have not been involved in any of the trials through which we have passed durinsr the year, to make a thor ough and impartial examination of all the charges or insinuations ao-amst mv crood name, and to re-

port the same to you, and I now respectfully request that you will

give to the committee the authority to act in your behalf also. It seems wise to me that the request ' should proceed from me and without your foregoing knowledge, and that you should give to it authority to act in your behalf in so far as a thorough investigation of the facts should be concerned. Signed HeNtit Ward Beecher. Mr. Sherman says that the com mittee received the letter, on Sun day, June 28, and went at work the next day. Their action received the unanimous npproval of the ex amining committee of the church, which met July 6, and the six gentlemen were made a sub-committee of the examining committee. They expected to finish tneir labors this week, although they may be delaye d by the difficulties of getting witnesses, not because of the unwillingness of witnesses to testify, but because of the absence of so man of them from the town. The Republican Party. Senator Hamlin, of Maine; in his speech at the Republican Congression al Convention at Bangor, on Thursday last, said '. Any reading and thinkine man must see that a spirit of progress animates our party, a disposition to open up new channels of commerce and to increase the production of the country a disposition to aid all the genuine projects calculated to benefit the nation at large, a spirit of liberality to aid the government in its upward course, a desire to have a stricter accountability between government officers and departments, a strong purpose for economy in every branch of the government all these are characteristics of the party to whom the trovernment is intrusted, notwithstanding the scandals and slanders set afloat by i a portion of the press. There has ? been too much of this slander by innuendo. The man who boldly charges me with a crime, and fixes the time and place, I regard as a gentleman when compared with him who endeavors to fix it upon me by innuendo: The fairest fames have been blasted by this underhanded, whispered, halt concealed method of abuse, when there was not the slightest grain of truth iu the slander when it was false as hell itself. The so-called " Indei -cndcnt" Firess has nothing to do but to scandaize the whole people, and public min in particular; it is the food fhey live on, I do not say this because th5y t have accused me of stealing, (God kuows how soon they will), but it has : become a crying evil. Iu this, couutr, as in all others, war has been in sou.e degree the cause of demoralization ; but we have came out of the greatest war the world ever saw. and have taught the world a lesson. We have i demonstrated that a republic is not j Onlv the hpst hilt flip slrnnfwcf fnrm !( i 1 ' 1 8 more than any other of which history tells ua to correct this demoralization. For thirty years past I have known the Presidents aud heads of departments, many of them intimately, and state here on my reputation, which I hold dearer than anything else in thia world, that there is as much integrity in It public oihcials or to-da as at any hour B siucc we have had a government. 1 i men in office, but I do sav that ths R II Republican administration has doca ' more to get rid of them than any other government. ...... Speaker Blaine, in acceptipg tba nomination for Confess in 'his district, in Maine, thus endorses the Administration of President Grant, and commends the good old Republican party, by its noble record, to the con -tinned confidence of the people : " Under all the trials and discouragements resulting from the financial panic of 1873, the administration or General Grant has carried on the government most successfully, and with revenues largely diminished by the repeal of taxes, has by rigid economy paid all demands upon the Treasury and reduced the public debt nearly 5,000.000 for the fiscal year just closed. The Republican Congress, co-oy-eratingwith the President in the good work of retrenchment, has eut down the appropriations for the next yea? by the large sum of $27,000,000, thus responding with zealous care to the popular demand for economy. Faithful in all its great trusts, with aehievments grander and nobler thau were ever wrought by any other political organization, able and ready to reform abuses in its own ranks and to correct the wrongs of others, the Republican party appeals again with confidence to the people of Maine." How Brelhen Agree. Resolutions adopted by the Democracy of the Third District : Resolved, That we freely recognize the intrinsic and incalculable value to all the people of a currency baed upn and couvertable into, gold and silver, as is obviously contemplated by ti constitutiou ; but we also deem it inexpedient now, while the country languishes under the effect of the recent tmaucial crisis, to attempt the resump tion ot speeiepaynjents. Resolved, Iliatwe believe the best interrsts and safty of the people demand the repeal of the national banks and the substitution for their notes i f an equivalent amount of greenbacks, to bo issued on the redemption of bonds, thereby reducing the burden of interest on the public debt, and giving the eople better currency. Resolution adopted by the nomo cracy of the Twelfth District : I hat whereas an irredeemable cur rency is calculated to make the whole business ot the country speculative, and thereby afflict all reputable busi ness with peril, continued panic and disaster, that we arc iu favor of a re turn to specie payments as soon as it can be done without a reduction of the volume of the currency, and without producing injury to the business ot the country. The Civil Rights bill is not dead but can be called up from the table during the "morning hour" of the next session of congress, by a mere majority vote. It did not reach the house until near the close of the last session and could not be taken from. the table except by a vote of twothirds, which it was impossible to ob tain owing to Democratic hostility to i the measure. The Civil Rights bill is the legacy which Sumner left to the Republican party. Let them preserve and cherish it. General Howard has been fully j exonerated. The court which tried him has presented to the President its finding, which, after reviewing the s case at length, frees him from the charges in terms that might be called flattering.

Loawlmia. The New Orleaus Louisianian, a weekly newspajwr conducted by a colored man, and devoted to the interests of the colored, race, in a wcll-consid-eved, temperate article, deplores the the organization of the political association known as the White League. It admits that a portion of the membership consists of men who are acting in good faith, desiring the best inter ests of the.State. apd that they are induced to enter the leagues because

they " believe not only that the' dis-' tresses complained of are referable to the dominancy of the Republican party in the State, but, inclusively and specially, to the dominance of the colored over the white vote," It proceeds : Another class of the adherents of the White League, while entertaining tho purposes above expressed, and adopting the indicated means for their accomplishment, are actuated not by honest convictions, but by a bitter and unreasoning prejudice against the colored people, that will not permit them to see anything reasonable or creditable in the colored voter, or anything legitimate and equitable in the exercise, by him, of eit her the political or civil rigts conferred and guaranteed by the Constitution and laws. Still another class, constituting the noisy, vituperative demagogues of the organization, are to be found in the league, who, without the frankness and simplicity of the first class, and without the hincerty of the second with cruel purposes, selfish ends, and ruthless and unscrupulous means propose to compass, not the gOtid of the white man alone, or at all, but the irretrievable injury of the colored and all this, too, with a malicious relish for the wrong doing fir.-t, but finally and most for the personal advantage, in office or gain, that may accrue to themselves. The article concludes as follows: The colored people, as such, have made no organization upon the basis of race, and seek no enJs in antagonism to the rights of their white brethren, but only such as belong to the colored and white equally and alike. We shall exceedingly regret such organization on the part of the mis guided and prejudiced Caucasian as . shall constrain, ior our self-protection, a change in either the temper or prolamine herein indicated by us. We hail stand hrm. however, in tho maintenance, by ail legitimate moans, of our full and equal rights as American itizens, but shall be careful not to assume the aggressive unit ss forced to do so in defense of life, aud rights even more precious than life. Prudence, patience, fairness, and pluck will bring out all things lair and even. One of the strongest points in the article from which we have quoted is the assertion that Lad government has not come upon Louisiana through the dishonesty or incompetency of the voting classes, either white or black, but through the neglect of the people to take part in political affairs. . After the collapse of the Confederacy, many prominent Southerners left the country in disgust at defeat; many more refused to take part in the elections, and so the .State governments fell into the hands of the negroes and the poor and ignorant whites. The Louisianian shows clearly enough that the proud ex-slave-holder is responsible for the luisgovcrnmcnt to which in too many cases he is now subjected. Neglect of political rights and duties, a neglect arising from a foolish pride which would not permit to go to the polls side by side with the newly-enfranchised black man, is the scurf e cf nine-tenths of the white man's wrongs uuder the existing Southern State governments. National. Debts. Nearly every nation in the world is either a borrower or a lender, and the startling declaration is made by a writer in tho London Daily Telegraph that the world "regarded in the mass is living beyond its means." During tho ten years ending with 1872, while . England reduced her debt $175,000,000, Holland about $30,000,000, and the United States $400,000,000 in five years, there was an increase, in some casos exceedingly large, in the elects of France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Turkey, Austro Hungary, Egypt, Brazil, Portugal and Peru, to say nothing of other nations which are comparatively small debtors. France has gone deepest, increasing her liabilities by about $2,500,000,000 in the decade. The editor of "Fenn on the Funds," a well known book of references in England.estimates the total increase in the aggregate of national debts ior the years from 18C2 to 1872 at nearly $10,000,000,000. while an additional sum of $5,000,000,000 is estimated to have been raised for joint stock companies. The figures necessary to express the total volume of tho world's indebtedness, public and private, would represent a smn almost incomprehensible. The United States has aped this European folly long enough. Mu nieipal, State, and national indebtedness should be wiped out with the least possible delay. This system of augmenting public debts and piling up the taxes on the products of individual industries leads inevitably to dissatisfaction and ultimate distress. One of the main objects of Federal and State legislation henceforward should be to arrest this growing evil, and provide for the reduction and ulti mate discharge of all public indebt edness within the nation. Thou sands in urope ami in our own country who have invested in our national and State bonds are living in idleness on the interest, sup ported out of tho earnings of our working classes. The number of postage Btamps issued to Postmasters by the de partment daring tne nscai vear ending June 30, was 032,723,420 I he issues to: the previous year was 601,931,520. The value of the stamps issued in the last fiscal year was $23,827,000. In addition to the above, over 32,000,000 official stamps were issued to the several executive departments. Not in eluding postal cards or stamped envelopes, the total value of all ad hesive stamps issued during the year was over $25,000,000. The cheese factories near Wheeler, in Porter county, use about two and a half tons of milk per day.

Some TemperanreFlirnr. A correspondent of tho Congrogationalist says: "There are 140,000 saloons in the country against 128,000 schools, aud only 54,000 churches. Manufacturers and sellers ' of strong . drink, 500,000 twelve times the number' of clergymen, four times the teachers, nearly double all the - lawyrs, physicians, teachers, and ministers ' combined. In these saloons there are, 5,600,000 daily customers, one in seven of the whole popula tion! Of these, 100,000 are annually imprisoned for crime, at the

expense of $90,000,000 and 150,000 go down to the drunkard's grave, leaving 200,000 beggard orphans. . Grasp these figures. An army of topers, five abreast, 100 miles in length. A. rank of beggard widows stretching across the State Massachusetts. A file of men, 75 miles in length, marching steadily down to the grave, ihreo every minute through the year!" o . The following items of news are from the Indianapolis Journal, of the 14th: The destruction of two million dollars worth of oil and the bursting of another reservoir in Massachusetts, causing considerable loss of property, are the principal features of this morning's news. It is not often that oil and water mix with such disastrous results. All signs point to an early revival of business and an active fall trade. Tho crops promise to be above an average, the effects of the panic have almost entirely passed away, money is reasonably plenty an4 c ;nfidence rapidly returning. This is the cheering news which conies from all quarters. Theodore Tiltjn has written a letter to the investigating committee of Plymouth Church, . announcing his intention of preparing a fall history of the Beecher case, which will be ready for thVir inspection in a wet-k or ten days. Why don't he wait until begets his history written before Le says anything about it? It looks as if he was try ing to scare somebody. Important to Frmtioncrw. The act of Congress entitled "An act to increase pensions in certain cases," approved Juno 18, 1874, provides that all persons who are now entitled " to pensions under Jaws existing, and who have lost an arm at or above the cibow, or a leg at or above the knee, shall be rated in the second class, and receive twenty fonr dollars per month, provided np artificial limbs, or commutation therefore, shall be furnished such persons as shall be entitled to pensions under this act. This act by its terms was to take effect from and after June 4, 1873. General Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, has announced that persons embraced within the provisions of this act can secure the benelits of the same without formal application and without the intervention of an attorney. A power of attorney will not bo recognized in applications for the increase of pensions provided by this act. A letter from the pensioner addressed to the Commissioner of Pensions, inclosing his pension certificate and giving his postofllce address, will be ufficient application for his claim. For once the Administration see.m9 to have made an appointment which suits everybody. All the papers w have seen approve of the choice of Mr. Dennison as the head of the Coinmission for the administration of the aifairs of the District (jovernment ad interim. There is certainly not a position anywhere that requires more executive ability, energy, promptness, honesty, and discretion at the present time than the Presidency of the District Commission. Debts have frightfully accumulated, credit has continually weakened, aud a complicated net work of irregularities has Ehaken confidence in the management of the District. To straighten out this tangled web is a Herculean task, and Mr. Dennison is precisely the man capable ot crapplinjr with u. Indeed, he has done the eouutry good service already aud though no one will envy him his responsibilities, there seems to be a general desire to feel thankful that so good and competent a man has been -Assigned to this trying post. The Grange and Council, a paper that started recently in Terre Haute, has suspended. The second 40.000 batch of young shad was deposited in .Eel liiver, at Louansport, a few days ago. Those deposited two years ago are now four or hve inches long. The ladies ol the Episcopal Church at Laportc have cleared over $GO0 this year by festivals and fairs, which sum is applied towards the purchase of an organ. The ladies of Kokomo have been Etruggling for some time to build an orphans' home in that city. At. last. they have succeeded, a beautiful site for the building being donated by Mr. llersley, a pubiie-spirited man of that city. A German woman in Madison was burned to death a few days ago in the following singular manner: A mess of shavings took fire from the stove, while she was peeling potatoes, and sethcr clothes 011 fire. She rushed to a barrel of water, but up set it in trying to extinguish her burning clothes, and was fatally burned before help arrived. The progress of unity in the Democratic camp in Indiana is not remarkably smooth. The disgusted Democrates of Whitley county, have bolted, called a " people's convention," and ask all honest citizens to join them iu an effort to overthrow the Democratic ring. Other counties are 011 the verge of similiar action. A new Republican candidate for Congress in this, the Fifth District, is now spoken of Judge Atkinson, of Dearborn county. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says he would be the strongest candidate against Judge Holman, who also lives in that eounty. Next Thursday's Convention will settle the matter we suppose. Reynolds, Claypool, Adams and Atkinson are all good men, and the strongest one, in the estimation of the delegates, should be nominated.

For the information of the public, a few words of explanation is necessary for the general use of the Balm, to show 'that one medicine can lie used beneficially for the different diseases of the human system. No medicine cures disoasebut merely assists nature, when -judiciously administered. The reason why the Balm acts successfully upon various diseases, is, that it is entirely vegetable, having neither mineral, narcotic, nor deadly poison in its compound; it is, therefore, an antidote for all poisons, and its nervine stimulating power act directly ' upon the nerves and capillarv system, which gives immediate circulation "of the arterial blood through the diseased parts, . , which Is the true stimulant and true purifier of the system, and its free circulation must produce health in any diseased organ of the system.

My son (a cadet of West Point) has lieen cured by Dr. F. in less than a week," after having been without relief, in charge of a physician whom I know to be a good one, for more than eight weeks. I think that humanity and the' public interest require, that the hard cases I. e., badly wounded and obstinately sick should have the opportunity, when they desire it, to avail themselves of Dr. F.'s ability, and of his mediciue, which seems to have a wonderful efficacy. -Most respect fully, ' EDWARD BATES.
