' The Winnebago City (Minn.) Press says that claim jumping has already commenced in the grasshopjier sect tions, the farms of men who hare been compelled to abandon them temporarily in search of employment having been in some instances squatted upon by interlopers. In the old pioneer dnysthe settlers used to have a sum-" mary way of dealing with such rascals. The whole community used to unite fer self-protection against the claimjumpers and to run them out of the country foinetimes with a coat of tar and feathers as a special mark of public appreciation. A miscreant who is mean enough to jump the claim of a poor man who has lost his crops by grasshoppers and compelled to leave it for a while in search of employment, desires whatever punishment f hort of extreme bodily injury the wile justice of the frontier settlers chooses to inflict upon them.

Whatever exhibits the character or 1 tendency of a party in its administration of public affairs deserves the can- , did reflection of every man who de sirci that tho administration may be !' honest and helpful to public interests. II it indicates-. a, disposition to sacri fioe duty to party, to set little store by j oathi that obstruct party advantages, I to connive at personal dishonesty wUitaiaa,done .or,is hoped to do ' party service, it is a strong argument ' against entrusting ' the party ' with ' Dower. "And if strengthened by an- ' other,' and another, aad a long scries 01 sucn aouses.it Becomes irrcsisuoie. Just that irrefragable argument we have arrayed against tbe.TJemocracy of this State..p.We liave concerned ourselves little with national issues, because there are none that can be materially affected by an election so largely lociwLas that now approaching. We have aimed almost exclusively to illustrate the conduct of the two parties in local affairs, State and county, as being the direction in which to purSue an examination that Bhould decide upon the administration of those affairs. What may be done with the tarriff or currency does not concern us, this fall, half so' much as the way we may reasonably expect State taxes to be assessed. State revenue expended and State interests cared for. What we have done we have had the authority of tbc jnublic records for at every step and every statement, and it makes sucii an array of abuses, frauds, peculations and forgeries against the local conduct of the Democracy as may well defy a parallel in any other State of the Union. This Darty ten dency is exhibited not by one isolated act of fraud or peculation, not by one sacrifipe of law and duty to party, but hy a long course ot such acts, rcjicated year after year for seventeeu years, till it establishes as confirmed a habit of villainy and unscrupulousncss as anybody can find in "Murrell's gang" or tho London "Swell Mob." If this appears like strong language we ask a perusal of the documentary history of the party to show that even this is too mild for full justice. We do not pro pose to repeat the summary, as it appeared pretty fully in the "Contrast'' we gave yesterday, but wc cannot dismiss the subject without giving a few details of one act of party outrage, which have been almost forgotten in the exciting decade sinoe their occurrence. In 18G3, as we have several times noticed since the Convention of the 15th of July, the Democracy deliberately repudiated the State debt, and justified its shame by a deliberate prostitution of the Democratic Supreme Bench. No appropriations were made by the Democratic Legislature of that jear, which made so striking a display of it s rebel sympathies. .The State tax of the preceding year, howerer, filled the Treasury with about $1,000,000. Out of this was due, by solemn contract and pledge of the State's faith, the interest on our public debt. The contract itself specified the time and place of payment, and there could be no uncertainty which needed legislative or judicial determination. There was nothing to be interpreted or settled. All was as plain as a note in bank. The State had to pay or make default, and to fail purposely was repudiation. What the effect would have been in the midst of a desperate struggle against the rebels and their Democratic abettors at home may be easily conceived when we recall that the enforced fail ure to pay, after 1841. checked the State's development to a degree which all the thirty years since have hardly compensated. A deliberate and contrived repudiation twenty years later, and, with so many evils waiting to take advantage of it. would have been ruin. This was manifest to the Democrats; and no doubt constituted the motive of their action. To ruin their State's credit was to cripple the na tion in the war seriously, and to crip pie the nation was the special object of all that the Democracy did during the summer before that winter, and the summer succeeding, up to the time that its machinations culminated in the conspiracy to liberate the pris oners in Camp Morton, rob the arsen al, limrdcr Governor Morton and in stall 31 r. Secretary of State Athon as Governor under Sons of Liberty direction, as testified to bv Mr. Ilorsee Heffren, Deputy Grand Commander ot the order, and Mc Joseph J. Bing

."BE JUST . AND FEAR -NOT I j ItlCHMOND, ham, treasurer at the . present, of . the Democratic State Central Committee. To avoid l these inevitable evils of repudiation the Democratic State officers, three of whom were Sons ot Liberty, had nothing to do but take the money out of the Treasury where there was plenty doing nothing but making money for tho Treasurer, a favorite Democratic employment for public money, and resorted to again in 1871, the very first time the party obtained power again. Governor Morton repeatedly applied to these officers for the money to pay the July installment of interest, but was peremptorily refused. The Democratic State Agent, John C. Walker, of rebel notoriety, said he "would neither receive the money for interest, nor pay it out, though that was just what he was sworn to do and about all he had to do. You see. curious reader, John C. Walker, like a good many other Democrats of that day, had t iken another oath, to the Sons of Liberty this time, which he deemed more sacred than bin oath of ofiice, and the former re-! quired him to do his best lor the rebellion. That is where the "milk got into his cocoa-nut" as well as Mr. Auditor liistinc's, and Mr. Secretary Athon';, and Mr. Attorney-General llord's, who all joined in this repudiation scheme. Now, for fear of a mandamus from court compelling them to pay. a case was made tin between Mr. Ilord and Mr. Talbott, President of the Sinking Fund Board, another Democrat, whtch, upon an "agreed" state f facts, asked the Marion Circuit Court, Judge Fabius M. Finch, what the law was. The object was to pet his decision and appeal it to the Democratic Supreme Court in time to get a final decision, generally regarded as a settled affair, against any payment of interest without appropriation, before the July installment fell due. This would defeat the interest for that time and for the whole of the following ye;r, making two years of repudiation, lo get thecase into the Supreme Court in time to allow the "motions" ot argument and examination to be gone through, and a decision to be made early enough to repudiate the July interest, this "made up" case had to be hurried through the lower court. Judge Finch was not disposed to hurry, lie wanted to look into the matter. But July was coming close, and the repudiating decision was needed badly.- So a certificate was taken to the County Clerk that Judge Finch had made a final decision, and upon this certificate a . "transcript" was demanded to take the case to the Supreme Court. ;, The clerk made it. and the case went to the Democratic Supremo Court, the same bench that killed the free sc hools five year before. When Judge Finch learned what had been done he denounced it in open court as a fraud: declared that he had made no final decision, and that the case was still in his court. The County Clerk published a card putting the authorship of the trick upon Mr. Attorney-General Ilord. The case thus got to the Supreme Court by : what the lower court said was a "fraud," with no legal right, and by no legal course. It was clearly the duty of the appellate court to send the transcript back and allow the lower court to complete the case, and send it up legally. ; But these Democrats would not do it. They entertained the cae sent to them by "fraud," and tho "transcript" procured by "fraud," and decided, as everybody knew they would two weeks beforo as well as they did for two weeks after, 1 hat the interest could not be paid without a special appropriation for it.aa if, tlio State could not keep its promise and preserve its credit, without a fresh law for it every time a debt had to be paid. The decision was preposterous, as. all decisions prostituted to such mean interests must le; and was hailed with "inextinguishable laughter" all over the laud. And, though as well meant to force repudiation as any act could be, Governor Morton defeated it by borrowing the money aud paying the in terest himself, while Democratic officers were pocketing 50,000 to 180,000 year from the public money they , had, and would not use. Ihis is the history of the last Democratic attempt at repudiation. Indianapolis Jour.

WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA, SEPT. 9,

' From the Woman's Journal. The Subjection of Wives. . The only compensation which society can derive from the shocking scandal which has afflicted us during the past month, is an intelligent appreciation of its causes. And the principal ; cause, by the admission of all parties to this unhajfpy controversy, without ; which the scandal could not have taken place, was the subjection, or wc might say the utter subjugation, of an unhappy wife to the despotic will of an unprincipled husband. Few men realize, because few take the trouble to consider, the degree of actual dependence which is the lot of many married women who are not the owners of independent property. By the same law of nature which inspires the male robin to carry food to his mate while she is setting on the nest, the husband and father is impelled to provide sustenance for his wife and children. This is not an act of generosity on his part, but simply the fulfillment of a duty. In the nature of things a woman cannot at the same i time, earn money and give birth and ! nourishment to children. In justice to herself and to others she ought not to do so. Nor does this fact imply any ineDuality of rights between the parents, t does not give the husband .a right to domineer, nor does it impose upon the wife the obligation to obey. It is simply a division of labor indicated by Mature in the marriage partnership, whereby the wife becomes the joint t proprietor of the proceeds of her husI band's labor,and the husband becomes 1 the joint proprietor of the home, and acquires an equal interest in the chill dren. But when, as in the case of Mrs. Tilton, a 3'oung inexperienced woman, without pecuniary means, becomes the wife of a husband who is also without property, and devotes herself to her domestic duties and the care of her ' youDg children, she is of all adult hu 1 T: .1 t i 1.1 e mail uuiiiu.-t me uiuu muaiNiuie 01 pcu arate and independent self-assertion. And w hen, as in the present case, she is also timid, confiding morbidly sen sitive and conscientious, living almost wholly in her affections and emotions. her power ot personal expression and action, outside of herfamily,is reduced to a n-imnium. Alas, tor such a wo man, if in the critical emergencies of life her husband fails her: if instead of a protector he becomes her accuser; if instead of her inspiration he becomes her tempter; if instead of awakening pride and joy he degrades and crushes her. It were hetter lor such a woman it she had never been born. She should not be harshly judged nor lightly con demned when she has been bullied. wheedled and coerced into a condition ot temporary lunacy, ana in tms con dition has compromised herself and others, almost without being aware of what she was doing. Fortunately for the world, and to the honor of human nature, be it said that this very helplessness becomes in most cases its own protection. Every true man, by a chivalrous instinct, recognizes and respects tne mute ap peal of a woman who, tor his sake, has placed herself in so defenseless a posi tion, let in this case, as in every oth er, self-help, cannot be safely laid aside. "To be weak is to be miserable! Many men abuse the trust. Very few men fully respond to it. The old English common-law, with all its barbarity towards VV omen, did at least recognize this fact. Ihe alle ged letters ot Mrs. lilton. criminating jlr. Ueecher, written as they were at the dictation of her husband,would be regarded by the common law as his letters, not hers. o such enforced confessions would be entertained for moment as evidence again-A Mr. Beecher or against her. Aud her sub sequent explicit retraction, "free from the presence and compulsion of her husband," would not only be regarded is sufficient, but would throw upon Mr. Tilton very grave suspicions, lor what can be said in defem-e of a husband who will urge his wife to criminate herself? who will publish her own confidential disclosures to her ruin? What canbe said ofa man who will spread before the public the most secret expressions of his wife's conjugal affection? The English language has no words adequate to express the enormity of such villainy. The wretch who beats and kicks his wife, is merciful compared with the man who publishes his wife's love letters in the Chicago Tribune. The infamy of this last gratuitous outrage is not limited to Mr. Tilton. It attaches also to the lawyer who authorized the publication, and to the newspaper whicji made it. The courts have long since decided that letters arc the property of the writer and not of the recipient. In the present case they were peculiarly such, because they were the confidential expressions of an intimacy into which the world has no right to intrude. So far as law, and custom, and public sentiment can give support and succor to married women situated like Mr. Tilton, they should clearly do so. But instead of this, the law regards a wife as a person whose service and la bor belong to the husband, and re gards the husband as her superior and the sole bead of the family. Custom makes him the guardian of her honor and the custodian of her person in a sense and to a degree different from her interest in him. Public sentiment does Dot sufScienf -ly encourage a wife in asserting her own womanly individuality, not even when her highest interests and those of her family demand thatshe should do so. One lesson, therefore, of this sad affair, is the danger of making a woman a clinging vine and a helpless dependent. We must educate our daughters to think and act, under all circumstances, ns responsible moral agents, accountable not to their husbands but to their own highest conceptions of duty, to society and to God. II. B. B. A little son of Heinman, of Elk township, Delaware county, Iowa, aged 11 years, recently fell from a hay mow on a sharp stake, which entered the body near the heart, killing him instantly. Near manchester in the eame county, last ' Friday, a little son of H. H. Hill, 3 years of age, fell from a wagon, one wheel ' passing over his head, crushing in the skull so that he died in a few minutes. The wife of Jesse Hiatt, who lives near Farmland, Randolph county, committed suicide on the 12th inet, by throwing herself into a well.

,Thc fellow That Lsstis Like He. Max Adelfer has a friend named

Slimmer, who deserves nitv. He was going rip to Reading not long since, and when reaching the depot he hap pened to iook in tne ladies room. A woman "sat there with a lot of baggage and three children, and when fhe saw ! Slimmer she rushed toward him, and before he could defend himself nho threw her arms abont his neck, nestled her head upon his breast, and 1 burst into tears. Slimmer was amazed, 1 indignant, confounded; and ere ho ' could find utterance for his feelings, she exclaimed ; "O. Henrv. dear Henru! we are uni ted at last. Are you well? Is Aunt Martha alive? Haven't you longed to see your own .Louisa iAnd she looked into Summer's face alii smiled through her tears. f 1 iJladam, said he, solemnly, if I aOihe person alluded as Henrv, permrrnie to say th it you have made a 1 r " -r it, misuine. my name is jemuei, L nave n Aunt Martha; and I don't own a solitary Louisa. Oblige me by letting go my coat, it excites remark." A 1 hen she buried her bonnet deeper into his waistcoat, and began : to cry harder than ever, and said ( "O, Henry,how can you treat me so? How can you pretend that you are not my husband? . Madam, screamed Slimmer, if you don't cease slopping my shirt bo som, and remove your umbrella froi" my corn, I shall be obliged to call th; Police. Let me go, 1 say. : ; "The children are here," she persisted. "They recognize their dear father, don't you, children?" . xes, yes, they exclaimed. ; it s our own dear pa." . ? And then they grabbed Slimmer by his trowscr legs and hung to bis coat tail. "Woman!" he shrieked, "this is get ting serious. Unhand me, I say." And he tried to disengage himself from her embrace while all the brakenien and the baggage-master, and the newsboys stood around, and said his conduct was infamous. ! In the midst of the struggle a stran ger entered with earpet-bag. He looked exactly like Summer and when he saw his wife in Slimmcr's arms, he became excited, and floored Sliminer with that carpet-bag and sat on bim.and smote his nose, aud carom- : ed on his head, and asked him what he meant. Slimmer was removed on a stretcher, and the enemy went off with, his wifo and family in a cab. He called a t, day toapologize.. -His wife had , made the mistake becauseof Siimmer's likeness to him. And now Slimmer. wishes he, may soon be kicked in the face by a mule, eo that he will resemble ' no other human beins; in the world. !, ' -i . .- , , I A FITTING TESTIMONIAL.

Her father, George Harding, Esq., and her mother, Mrs. Innes Morris, for reasons all their own, were divorced in marriage in 1850. The care of the daughter and one son devolved entirely upon the mother. Her struggle was a hard one in those days, not only with poverty but with that opprobrium and ostracism which society sees fit to inflict ., UPON ITS VICTIMS at 6uch times under like misfortunes. Miss Harding's tastes were literary; books were her companions, and teaching school a labor she delighted in was her occupation. Thus Flora inherited from her mother a love of learning, and from her father the points 01 a ready writer. Her own productions and her life-long devo tion to books and study give evidence of the truth of this statement. She wa.s always old in judgment and herself and mother were boon compan ions. She was, perhaps, from the force of circumstances, reserved and reticent but her confidence once given. she was Fprichtly and communicative, always exhibiting great power of thought and judgment ot understand ing. Her truthfulness was proverbial. Later her mother married Mr. John Morris, and Flora engaged in teaching school here in Coles county. That this terrible calamity should have come upon her so suddenly, is a mys tery unexplicable to those who have known her so long and well. We therefore hope and pray that upon a thorough and proper investigation the real facts in the case may come to the surface. To her true friends it seems, "that all that is left of her now is the beautiful." , HER FUNERAL was largely attended at the residence of her step-father, Mr. John Morris. Saturday afternoon nt 4 o'clock, tho liev. iur. liunn, ot Uccatur. 111., being ine omciaiing clergyman. , ins sermon was one of marked ability and particularly comforting to the grief stricken and almost heart broken mother. Tho singers and pall-bearers were mostly old class-mates of the deceased. Miss Alin Moore, the Misses Nesbit, Miss Maggie C. Vambers, Miss Helen Briggs, Prof. Moore, Mr Tooke and Mr. Anderson rendered, with a sweet and touching pathos, "Our Beautiful Home PVer Thine." Charley Dunba'red ticlen, Willie Hall, Neil Miwjt, Carley Blankenbaker and Charley Peyton acted as pall-bearers. Hix Searfoss had charge of the funeral, and exhibited an unselfish and christian like spirit. A. J. II. Charleston, III., Aug. 22.

1874. The Black Hills Ueld Discoveries. The dailies publish ' very remarkablo accounts of Gold having been dis covered in the Black Hills. Dakota Territory, and the excitement in con sequence bids fair to be a rival of the furor created when California was first announced to be the "promised land" for Gold. The Chicago InterOcean says: ; . The Black Hills can he. reached from Chicago' in sixty days, and we should not be surprised to see a gold excitement springing up over this in telligence rivaling the California fever of"4i). t Already the frontier towns aie in a tumult, and the excitement is spreading. Little is talked of or thought about save the discoveries in this wonderful " Inland. Besides the tne goia wmc-n is ' lound in il 11 l a m a such abundance, iron, plumbago, and gypsum exist limitless quantities, aud the soil and the climate are of the most inviting description. There is a treaty which makes any incursion by the white into this region unlawful, but the government will without doubt take speedy measures to make satisfactory arrangements with the Indians for its occupation. .It would be a sin against the country and against the world to permit this region, so rich in treasure: to remain unimproved and unoccupied, merely to furnish bunting grounds to savages. We owe the Indians justice and fair play, but we owe it to civilization that such a garden of mineral wealth should be brought into occupation and use. there will be little difficulty, however, if care is observed not to precipitate hostilities by a too speedy and unauthorized invasion. Those contem plating going there should wait for the proper permission, though we doubt it this will be the case, as the temptation is too strong to brook de lay. W e shall probably hear in con sequence of collisions with the In dians, though these will not stop the tide which not even the fear of death seems capable of stemming in such cses. ' It will not bo many days now before we shall know officially still further of this important discovery. Sufficient is already known, however. to make it certain that the region is rich in mineral wealth, and extends the strongest inducement to settle ment and development. There is no greed like that for- gold, and there is always danger of hasty and precipitate action under the: stimulus . of an excitement which urges the settler to fields like these. Men should reflect well before they . move in such a mat ter, and weigh i well the chances, the hardships, and the probabilities of failure. It is always wuc to let well enough alone, and those who are in the enjoyment ot comfortable positions would exhibit sound judgement by remaining where, they are To others the case may be different. We utter this timely warning in view of the inevitable excitement which must spring up over this discovery, and to caution people against the headlong rush which brought so much disap pointment and suffering to thousands in the days of the first settlement of California. J . . The Foreign Demand for Vt'bcnt. - Hon. Alexander Delmar, r late Di rector of the National: Bureau of Sta tistics, gives tho latest advice of the condition ot the; present harvest in Europe, and also some very valuable statistics giving a comprehensive view ot the whole situation as regards the European supply of and demand for breadstuffs. and 'particuliarlt of the one artn-Io in which the Northwest ha3 such a great interest at stake, viz. wheat. The first prominent fact is, that tic crops of this grain throughout Europe are nowhere poor, and in nearly all countnes are rather above the average in quantily. From Mr. Del mar's statistics it appears, that notwithstanding the crop of wheat in Great Britain is somewhat better than that of last year, that nation will be compelled to import as much wheat as last year, viz: about 92,400,000 bt shels. Tho important question of the Northwest is, how much of this will bo required from the surplus of the United States? The total exports of wheat and wheat flour from the United States to Great Britain in the eleven months up to July 31st last were 47,941,760 .bu:-hels (including flour reduced to wheat.) or at tl'e rate of fifty-two million of bushels for the year. As is shown by Mr. Delmar's statistics, this was about fifty-six per cent, ol the total amount imported into the United Kingdom: but the lavoraDie reports ol tne crops throughout Europe seem to favor the impression that the United States cannot expect a demand from Great Britain for bo large a proportion of her deficiency this year. The granaries of Europe are so full and so near to the great consumer that the prospect of an active foreign demand for American wheat is not very favorable, i The importance of the British demand for our wheat may be esti mated by the following figures, which we find in the reports of the Bureau of Statistics:, -; The total exports of wheat flour from the United States - to all conntries, in the year ending June 30, 1872, were 04,532,560 bushels (includ ing flour reduced to wheat.) 1 he to tal exports of the same in the year ending June 30, 1873, were 77,625,575 bushels of which considerably more than half 39,867,891 bushels went to Great Britain. Mr. Delmar's fig ures show that the exports of wheat from the United States to Great Britain in the last year were exceptionally large. It is therefore doubtful it they will be so large in the next twelve months. . From tables published by Mr, Wildman, Auditor of State, we learn the following facts: There are in Indiana, of Main track 6,TSl miles, ot side track 457 miles Total assessment against the railroads of Indiana, S39,740,(M2.

He wrote to his accuser, one Combs: "You must declare these reports false, as you know they are; you must deny that any such crimes are imputed to ine in this community, and you must apologize; otherwise I will brand you in court of justice as an infamous defamer. This note must be replied to at once. I will tolerate no delay." i r : Combs promptly refracted, declaring that the charges were not true, and adding these words: "In reporting such infamous talcs I have done an incalculable injury to the character of this reverend gentleman, whose reputation is rture and blameless; and I regret most sincerely' the harm which I have done by circulating these base slanders; and : I do fully and freely apologize for -this in jury to the character of a Christian, a gentleman, and a minister ot God." - ';"': ' v , .- ; ; Father Kain should be1 model for other clergymen it any should ev- c er find themselves slandered by .plot ting defamere. - , : . ... JOHN WESLEY'S WTIFE. Scandal Airalnst a Great Preacher Hundred Tears Since. . The assault upon the name and v fame of Henry Ward Beecher re calls the story of a similar attack upon the apostolic and saintly man, John Wesley. Ihe charges were similar and groundless beyond the i f -l l 1 ml " . snaaow oi a aonoL a uey were oc casionea by the senseless jealousy. of Wesley's ignorant wife, and were caught up by rival sectaries and even entertained by ' the public press. Wesley disdained to notice the slander, notwithstanding the agitation and distress of his broth er Charles Wesley, of other inenv bors of the family, and of the dig nitaries of the church. We find our narrative in the "Life and Times of the Rev. John Wesley,' by the Rev. L. Tverman, published by Harper & Brothers in 1872, in three volumes, and reprint it for the purpose of showing tbat men of spotless lives and the most exalte I character are liable to the same abuse and slandera as have befallen the pastor of Plymouth Church. Sarah Ryan, who, is mentioned in housekeeper in one of Wesley's denominational asylums. . She had been married to thee men success ively, who in turn abuse and desert her. Her station in life was low, her education limited, and at times the obligations of duty lav loosely upon her. Under the preaching of the Methodists she becomes a con vert and won the great preacher's confidence, uesley was undoubt edly impi udent to confide his do mestic troubles to her as he did, but there h not the least atom of evidence of any other indiscretion on his part. In February, 1756, W esley wrote to Sarah Ryan : "Your last letter was seasonable indeed. l was growing faint in my mind. The being continually watched over for evil; ' the havinff- every word I spoke, every action I did, small and great, watched with no friendly eve-, the having a little tart, un kind reflections, in return for the kindest words I could devise: Like drops of eating water on the marble, At leniith have worn my sinking spirits flown. "Yea I could not say, 'Take thy pleague away from me ;' ' but only 'Let me be purified, not consumed In another letter to Sarah Ryan he writes as follows-: - January 27th, 1758. Mr Dear Sisteb: Last Friday, after many severe words, my wife left me. vowing she would see me no more. Wesley and his wife, however, were united but were far trom being hap py. So things proceeded till 1771. On one occasion she seized his let ters and other papers and put them in to the hands of such as she knew to be his enemies, that they might be printed as presumptive proofs of illicit connection. fcbe even interpolated letters which she had intercepted, so as to make them bear a bad construc tion, and then read them to different persons in private for the purpose of aeiaming mm. in one or two instances she published interpolated or forged letters in the public prints. She accused Charles Wesley of idleness, and declared that his dearest Sally had been John Wesley's, mistress. Charles danced with rage at this im-
