Pshaw! neighbor, that's nothing for a Democratic convention to do, which so solemny resolve "in favor of severe retrenchment, reform and economy," and, .whenever an opportunity offers, its members are found with arms in the public treasury up to the shoulders demonstrating what they n . reaiiy mean py severe retrcnenment!" taking out of the public treasury and putting into their capacious pockets! This streak of "economy," is only equalled in sheer hypocrisy, by the 17th resolution, bearing, as the Democratic party and member of the "Knights of the Golden Circle" do, "in-grateful remembtance the sacrifices made and the services rendered by the gallant soldiers of the late war in defence of the Union!" We imagine the memory of the "gallant soldiers" is quite as vivid as that which now animates the breasts of those who thus seek their votes through flattery, of the time when these same democratic politicians denounced them as "Lincoln dogs," "hirelings" and "cut-throats," and did everything in their power to induce them to desert the flag of their , country in its hour of peril, whilst risking their lives and limbs in "the late war in defence of the Union!" Yes! we think the "gallant soldiers "WILL bear their "fire-in-the-rear" enemies oi tne democratic Jrarty in "gbatifcl bimembrancx!" for trying to sacrifice them whilst in the discharge of their sacred duty to their country. It takes the Democratic Party to do up a job of "severe retrenchment" and "severe gratefulness 1 1 . Let it be recorded. Peat Master General. Ex-Gov. Marshall Jewell, of Con necticut, serving at the present time as Minister to Russia, has been appoint ed by the President as Post Master General. He has signified his accept ance, nnd will return and enter upon the discharge of his duties in about a month. The appointment meets with general approval. The First Assistant has been commissioned to officiate until Mr. Jewell arrives. Some surprise has been expressed at his willingness to yield up a foreign mission to accept an executive office at home but it has been known that he preferred remaining in his own coun try. The following is taken from the New York Times: "Hon. Marshall Jewell was born in Winchester. N.H.. Oct. 24. 1825. His father, Pliny Jewell, of Hartford, was senior member of the firm of P. Jewell k. Sons, tanners and curriers and at an early age young Marshall was pat to work in his father's tannery, where he remaiued for some years, until he went to Boston to perfect himself in the business of a cuirier. In 1847 he moved to Hartford, and worked two years in his father's currier shop. He then relinquished the business and learned the art of telegraphing, and beins an expert operator, was engaged in the office in Rochester, N. Y., from whicn place be went to U., and after wards to Columbia, Tenn. After the election of Gen. Taylor to the Prcsi dencv. Mr. Jewell, wno was a warm supporter of the Whig nominee, re moved to Jackson, Miss., and was sub senuentlv elected General Superin tendent of the telegraph line between Nashville and JNew Orleans, tie re turned to New York in 1849, and the fntlnwinir vear entered into partner ship with hia father in the tanning and belting business, and by his energy and skill soon enlarged the business of the house and gained for it a high tt inn He visited Europe in 1859 and 1860 on business connected with the firm, and in 1865 he again . f ft Hnrnne. extending his travels V.wnt and the Holy Land.

From the Ind. Journal. , Ceasjreaalenal Xenunatlen. Cambridge Citt, July 16, '74. At a very early hour this morning little knots of men gathered here and there along the principal streets of this, the railroad centre of Wayne county, were observed in earnest conversation. As the sun advanced higher and higher the knots grew larger and larger and more animated, until by 11 o'clock it might be suppoied that one of Cambridge City's noted horse races was in progress, and the merits of the favorites were being discussed. There was a race on the tapis ' sure enough, but tho entries named were not of the four-footed order of creation. The unusual influx of strangers and the whisperings and buttonholings were the natural and inevitable result of a convention called to nominate a Republican candidate for Congress in tho Fifth District, composed of the counties of Dearbon, Union, Fayette, Franklin, Wayne and Randolph. Owing to the retirement of Hon. Jere Wilson, several prominent aspirants were in the field, and ' the contest promised to be an animated one. Aside from the delegates, large numbers of personal friends of candidates were in attendance, and every one seemed good naturedly con

fident that his choice would pass down the ; home stretch several lengths a head. County meetings were held at various points during the morning, and at I o'clock the aggregated mass moved in good order upon and into the large hall, filling it to repletion. Order was called by L. J. Monks, of Winchester, , Chairman of the Congressional Committee, and Gen. Tom Browne nominated as permanent chairman. Tumultuous applause greeted the announcement, and upon reaching the stage, the General said : Gentlemen: For the compliment you have so kindly paid me in calling me to preside over the deliberations of this convention, accept my thanks. The object for which you are assembled is to designate some one of your fellow-citizens as the candidate of the Republican party of the district for a scat in the next Congress of the nation. The choice you make to-day will undoubtedly be ratified by the people in October. Let harmony characterize your deliberations, so that when the work of this day is done you may feel that it will not only secure success, but deserve it. I will not allow my- ' self to suggest even a doubt of the re sult of the approaching contest in this Congressional Convention, in advance that if he allows himself to be defeated by that chief of demagogues, Judge lioiman, wben tte battle is over we will convene a court martial and shoot him on the spot. Applause and laughter. 1 will not detain you, but,with your C emission, will proceed at once to the usiness for which you are convened. The organization was completed by the selection for Vice Presidents of Jauaes Woodbury of Randolph. K. L. Harris ot vv ayne, J. U. Mcintosh of Fayette, R. G. Hayworth of Union, Georse Kimball. Sr.. of Franklin. Charles E.' Jelly of Dearborn, and G. Assistant Secretaries A. C. Beeson of Randolpp, J. M. Coe of Wayne. C. N Stevens of. Union, A. M. Dawson of Franklin, and Joseph P. Chew of Dearborn. In accordance with the suggestion of the Chairman that " business was business," Hons. B. F. Claypool of ayette county, JMisha is. Reynolds ot Randolph county, and frank Ad kinson ot Dearborn county, were olac ed in nomination. The first ballot re sulted: Claypool 66, Reynolds 54, Adkinson zl: necessary to a choice, 71 In as ranid succession as possible. forty-eight ballots were taken with in termissions ot gye minutes occasionally for Franklin and Randolph to withdraw for consultation, the result being a repetition of their former vote in each instance! Upon the the conclusion of the forty-seventh ballot, Mr. Reynolds withdrew his name, and the result was, ot course, a nomination by the following vote : Claypool 16, Ad kinson 68. The result was received with hearty cheering, and after repeated calls the success! ul candidate appeared and briefly expressed bis gratitude as fol lows : Gentlemen of the Convention: The action of this Convention is to me ex ceedingly gratifying nad complimentary, and while you have entrusted me with this nomination, I am not unmindful the fact that it carries with it grave responsibilities, and I assure you that whatever ot zeal and energy 1 can bring to the canvass shall be cheerfully and willingly done- Had the choice fallen upon any of my worthy competitors, it would have afforded me much pleasure to have worked in their be half and have no doubt but that I Bliall have their active and hearty support. We have a wuyand active foe to contend against, but I feel confident tbat with the energy and zeal that has characterized us in the past, we can assure our friends throughout the country that the flag of Republicanism will not be trailed in the dust in this district. The carty which we represent has never failed to meet the emergency, no matter now great, ana now, as in the past, it is important that she stands firm and united, and from the spirit manifested here to-day, 1 feel assured that when the ballots are counted it will be found that the old Burnt Dis trict is worthy of her ancient renown Thanking you lor the honor conferred upon me, I will give way to those of my friends, whom you will no doubt be pleased to hear knowing that I will have many opportunities of meeting you before the election. The appearance of Judge Adkinson was then demanded, and in re snonse that gentleman said : " I return my thanks to this convention for the very liberal support I have received lor the nomination as your candidate for Congress. Al though defeated. I am tola the major i ty against me was not very large. Had the nomination been tendered me I would have accepted it thankfully, but I call upon you to bear me wit ness that I did not seek it. I also thank the other gentlemen who have been candidates with me before this convention, and also the delegates who supported them, for their kind and generous treatment during this contest. I wish it distinctly understood that I most cordially endorse the nom ination made here to-day, and I prom ise to labor earnestly during this can vass for the success of Mr. Claypool Mv friend. Gen. Brown, has de nounced a rather severe penalty against your nominee if he should fail L to carry this district. If he shall be

so unfortunate, I hope it will not be because any of the members of this convention who have supported me have failed to do their duty. Although the contest has been long and spirited I trust no ill feelings have been engendered, but that we will all go home resolved to do our whole duty, and to labor harmoniously and zealously for the success of our candidate. , If we do, defeat is impossible." During the balloting Judge John F. Kibbey, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, reported the following, which was adopted as the sense of the meeting: Resolved, That this Convention heartly endorse and reaffirm the platform adopted by the Republican State Convention, held at Indianapolis, June 17 th. The convention was most orderly and decorous throughout, and complete satisfaction was expressed at the outcome. At several times during the voting persistent efforts were made to induce Gen. Browne to permit the use of his name as a compromise candidate, and only the most positive and emphatic refusals prevented his nomination. As it is, the selection of Mr. Claypool will be unanimously endorsed by the party, and the chances are strongly in favor of Judge Holman's being allowed to enjoy the retirement of his Dearborn county home for the next two years.

For the Palladium. TIMELY LETTERS. Ho. I. The Temperance Qaestlan. Now that the great political parties of the State have had their conventions and made their respective "declaration of principles," the issue is fairly made, and is now being submit ted to the people for a verdict. Questions are involved in the contest that will excite some iaterest for the reason that they affect moral and social conditions and individual habits. The most important, and the one that will perhaps attract the most attention, is the temperance question. Here the lines are drawn, and it may as well be admitted in the outset, that the com ing campaign will be no political mas querade in which any person can disguise himself with a mask. Upon the temperance question as a political issue, the Republican party has arrayed itself on the side of soberness and mo rality, while the Democratic party has gone into the field arrayed upon the other side, and thus does one become the defender of right, the other the champion of wrong. " Choose ye this day whom ye will serve." Such being the issue, no sincere temperance man can long hesitate in determining his course, and, on which side of the scale he will cast his influence. The sin ccnty of any man man be doubted who will now make an effort to inaugerate an independent temperance movement. Such a man might well a be arraigned as a conspirator against his friends, and a traitor to the cause he advocates. A movement of this kind can only tend to the aceom plishment of but one end, that of the complete triumph of the enemies of the temperance reform, and the re moval of restraints upon the liquor traffic. It is evident that in the com ing election, either the Republican or the Democratic party must succeed, and through these instrumentalities the cause of temperance must succeed or fail. ; A third party cannot hope for success. Mere adhesion to piinci pies by individuals, without regard to power, can accomplish nothing. Sue cess flows from power, and under our system of government all political pow er comes from the people in the expres sion of majorities. A political party that does not possess this power can accomplish nothing. If, then, the ad vocates of temperance wish for sue cess, they must by some instrumen talily, clothe themselves with the power that the majority of the people can alone confer. If it is a principle that they are seeking to enforce, and the Republican party declares that it will enforce that principle, if the pow er is given so to do, then consistency plainly marks out the course of every man who at heart desires the success of temperance reform. If certain princi pies are advocated by the temperance people, and the same principles are advocated by the Republican party then are their interests identical, for principles are immutable. Suppose an independent movement is inaugu rated and the Republican party is de fcated thereby, what will the friends of temperance accomplish? Every worker in the temperance cause who lends his aid to such a movement al lies himself with his enemies, betray his friends, and brings ruin upon the cause he pretends to defend. " This and nothing more." He is not a safe counselor nor a true friend of the cau who will advise such a course. A true reformer desires success, a revo lutiomsc merely seeks to change one t . . a. is a benefactor the other is not. must also.be borne in mind that intern perance has been long in the world and is deeply seated. Iu contending with it we necessarily strive with the bitterest prejudices, and we need not expect to accomplish much by a relent less persecution yet firmness is re quired. Great reforms are frequently retarded by the blindness of fanaticism. Reformers must not be unreas onable and seek to bring about spasmodic changes, especially when dealing with the wrongs and habits of cen turies. Great reforms are plants of slow growth; greatly depending upon the soil in which they flourish. As an individual may be judged by his eharactcr, so may a political party be judged by its record. The history of the Republican party in this, as well as in other States, proves that in all its efforts to restrain and control intemperance, it has, as a rule, been resisted at every step by democratic influences. This fact, taken together with the platforms and the declarations of the leaden of the respective parties, should be sufficient to determine the course of every ardent temperance advocate. Uncs.

From the Indianapolis Journal. A Timely Address. The address of the Republican Con

gressional Committee to the people of the United states, just puDiicnea, is an admirable document in conception. treatment, and style. Ine committee embraces the opportunity furnished hv the nnenine of the congressional campaign, to place before the country contest between tne recoras, me principles and achievements of the Democratic and Republican parties. This is not done in a spirit of apology, but of confidence. The committee comes before the public to avow the record of the Republican party, not to apologize for it. They challenge the people's approval, not their pardon. Attention is nrsi airecieu io me uoudition cf the country, thirteen years ago, when the Republican party came into power. For more than thirty years previously the government had been almost uninterruptedly under Democratic control, aud of that long ascendancy, the committe say, there is hardly a memory left at which the na tion should not blush. V lewed irom the present standpoint, it seemed to be inspired solely by the bad ambition to make our foreign policy as ignoble as our home policy was shameless. The bullying, truckling, cowardly pol icy ot that period is briefly sketched in a manner to make one wonder as he reads that the country could even have rested quietly under such a weak and enervating rule. The story wof our foreign policy during those years of Democratic supremacy is sad enough: but that of our home rule, Bay the com mittee, is 6adder still, if anything sadder could be. The address -then re views the domestic policy of tftie Democratic party, and shows it have been devoid of dignity, honesty or honor. There is at present nofinished achievement or completed work of usefulness in all the country, which owes it beginning or its completion to that party. 1 hough ever professing to be the friend of liberty and progress, it has been the consistent enemy ot both, and its whole career has been marked by an utter recreancy to true Democratic principles. The period of its supremacy was a period ot empty promises, broken pledges and unbegun or unfinished performances. When the Democracy went out fi power in -a .1 a a it lobi, says the address, ceeiy a building belonging to fhe government was finished. Perhaps, however, the party would have avoided that cause of reproach if they had earlier formed the design of transferring those buildings to the use of another government. Armies were then maintained. Their ranks were thin, but they were sumptously officered officered far too large ly by those who had been educated in every soldierly grace save that of alle giance. A navy was sunered to ex ist. But as it was found a little too loyal to desert its flag, and a little too gallant to surrender it, when the hour of national peril arrived that navy was scattered in remote seas. After the long period of political enervation and misrule, during which Democratic Congresses and Presidents seemed to vie with each other in their efforts to weaken and degenerate the national character, it was not surprising that when the standard of rebellion was raised in 1861 one-half of the Democratic party should have joined the revolt, while the other half ex claimed that it could not be resisted. With the advent of the Republican party began a new epoch in our politi cal history. Organized for an express purpose, it was instructed to but one duty. "As," Eays the address,' "you had never known the national govern ment to do anything, you evidently did not expect it to do much.- You simply commanded it to save your ter ritories from the defilement of slavery; tbat was all. That command has been lulhlled. There is no slavery in any of your territories. That will scarcely be denied, even by the opposition journals. There is just as little Slav ery in any of the States. Something more than you then thought possible has been accomplished." But this is only a small portion of what the Re publican tarty has accomplished. Its achievements during the last thirteen years form the most brilliant portion of our national career and furnish a wonderful chapter in the history of human progress. There is no branch of national dcvelopement in which it has not labored, and it has undertaken nothing which it has not accomplished. The schedule which tho committee gives of its achievements embraces not only the preservation of the government and its advancement at home and abroad, but the accomplishment of a series of great reforms in our internal economy, any one of which would entitle the party to the lasting gratitude of the people. Readers of the Journal do not need to be told what the Republican party has done. In the language of the address, " i ts achievuients were too conspicuous not to have been seen, and are too recent to be forgotten."The contrast between the present attitude of the two parties is not less sharply drawn than that between their f ast careers. It is confessed that the )emocratic party once professed distinct principles, though they were the worst principles extant; but, bad as they were, they were better than the utter abjuration of all principles which has characterized its recent history, and which marks its present status. We quote from the address: When, in 1860, Democrats said, "Continue us in power, and we will fleck the territories with slavery;" when in 1864 they said, "Restore us to power and we will barter with rebels, giving freedom for peace," when in 1868 they faid again, " Restore us to power and we will abrogate three great amendment to the Constitution, secure government to white uicu, and return slavery to colored men, it could only be replied that tuch invi tations were very unattractive. But when, in 1872, they cried, " Restore us to office once more nnd we will do everything that anybody wants done," the invitation was utterly repulsive And when they supplement this bra zen indinerencc to principle by a stolid indifference to truth, when weary of orpo?ing the measures of the majority, they combine to assail their characters; when they abandon false reasoning only to resort to false asser tion, they exhibit an opposition hard it not impossible to parallel. With this endless iteration of dis graceful promises are contrasted the bold and manly course of the Republican party in responding to the wishes of the people and the demands of pro gress, the unlaltering determination it has shown to correct the abuses which have been practiced in its name, and to purge it sell ot all unworthy mem bers. and the advanced position which it has takeu on ail the great current issues of the times. The great quesion of cheap transportation is dis cussed, and facts cited to show that the Republican party is not only committed to tho solution of that question, but is well advanced in the work. iut, wnaiever, uepabheans may or may not uo iu inis regard, nothing can be expected of the Democratic party, which long ago determ -

ined that the government could not constitutionally remove an obstruction from a river or harbor, or engage in any other work of internal improve- . j-k .a V 4 1

ment. Un tne currency question me address says: - - - V "The currency is in an abnormal condition, and must be reformed. It is undoubtedly true that the Republican party is not agreed how to effect that reform. Neither is the Democratic party. Neither party, as such, yet sees clearly the right way. But there are two reasons for believing that the Republican party rather than iU rival can best treat this great question of the finances. 1. As the former has, hitherto, found the true way through graver difficulties, so we believe it is more apt to find the true way through this. 2. You already have abundant as- . a T a a sura nee that wnen uepuDiicans discover the true way they will pursue it. That assurance hi s not as yet been given bv the other party. 3. lhe Kepublican party in the future, as in the past, will see to it that the national credit suffers no detriment, and that the national honor is preserved. Thc address concludes by calling on the people if they cherish the deeds of the recent past, and would not see them undone, if they respect the pres ent and would not disgrace it, or if thuy have hope ot the iuture and would realize that hope, to send Republicans and not Democrats to the next Congress. By the same token we appeal to those ot this fctate to elect Kepubncansend not Democrats to the State and county offices and to the Legislature. SEWS ITEMS. The fire in Constantinople, reported involved a loss of $2,000,000. Blackberries are selling at Mitchell for two cents a quart. Logansport is to have two new ?6,000 school houses this season.

The Board of Underwriters in Chicago, declare that unless a radical reform is made in the fire department of that city, insurance companies will be forced to close their offices and re fuse Chicago risks.

Evidently, somebody is to blame, ; , The recent exhibit'? made in this pa per touching the comparative rates of local taxation in the Democratic and Republic: n counties of thif State. showing a uniform excess of taxation in the former, leads the Cincinnati Gazette to remark that the same rule is found to prevail in that State. Such a remarkable coincidence in two great states cannot pe the result ot chance. It shows that there is a natural ten dency in the Democratic party to extravagance and misrule, and that their fine talk about economy, retrench ment and reform" is mere sound and nothing more. It requires both intelligence and honesty to administer government successfully, and experience shows that these plants do not flourish luxuriantly in Democratic soil. Ind. Journal. A Reporter of the Brooklyn Arms hearing that Joseph Howard, Jr., was preparing a statement in reference to the lilton-lieecher imbroglio, went to see him. Mr. Howard denied that there was any truth in the report. He said he was no more proparinga state ment ot the tacts than Mrs. Tilton and for the same reason, viz: that he bad no facts to state. He attributed Tilton's action to monomania and a love of notoriety. Hia opinion of Beecber could not be changed by anything Tilton might say. AVhcn he lost faith in Beecber he would lose faith in everybody and everything. Mrs. Tilton was a sensible, amiable woman, whose great misfortune it wps to have married lilton. He conclu ded by saying: "The only fault I have to find in this matter is that Mr. Beecber is too-d kind-hearted, and I want you to use those words." Radical Xomlnatioa far Cong-reaa. At Cambtidgo.

In a letter from Washington City, dated July 15 to the Liberty Herald, J. H.

"The Republican party has really commenced a new era in party politics, for it is the first one that ever carefully examined its own faults and corrected the same. The District of Columbia has had a pretty thorough investigation, and the old burnt District can claim creafc honor in the matter, through its able Representative, Judcre Wilson. Under no circum stances would I have referred to tho acts of Judge Wilson, was he a candidate for Congress, for many would have said it was designed for political capital; it would have done him no erood. but on the con trary, enlivened jealousy.

I FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL USB TO THE PUBLIC For the Information of the public, a few words of explanation Is necessary for the general nse of the Balm, to show tbat one medicine can be used beneficially for the different diseases of the human system. No medicine cures disease, but merely assists nature, when Judiciously administered. The reason why the Balm acts successfully upon various diseases, is, tbat it is entirely vegetable, havi ng neither mineral, narcotic, nor deadly poison in its compound; it is. therefore, an antidote for all poisons, and its nervine stimulating powr acts directly upon the nerves and capillary system, which gives immediate circulation of tbe 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.

I think that humanity and the public interest re quire, mat tne nam casea i. e., badly wounded and obstinately sick should hava the opportunity, when they desire it, to avail themselves of Dr. F.'s ability, and of his medicine, which seems to have a wonderful efficacy.
