THE INDEPENDENT PRESS. We admire independence in all things, and especially in newspapers, those powerful instruments—one way or tbe other—cf good or evil influence. The tendency, until within a short time, has been to regard with disfavor a sheet whose columns were demonstrative of individuality. A man might change his opinions, avow the fact, and be considered none the worse but the people, so 'tis said, expected the newspapers to stand firm to the old doctrines, and be so orthodox in support of them as to give no one an opportunity to call theui vacillating.

Iiut we are fast dispensing with'such ideas. The popular opinion is incon sistent. One day a hero is welcomed with laudations, and perhaps in a week there will l»e "none so poor to do him "reverence." Is it then the duty of paper which chanted the praises of this hero to si ill support him and inform the people that they are unjust? We have'so many "heroes" in this country one is not missed, for his place is immediately filled from the mushroom growth which is ever ready to be transplanted into more congenial soil and surroundings.

Newspapers are the reflections of the people's voice, and not the makers of public opinion, although their influence Is assimilating different and detached communities is most potent. In fact, in this influence lies their great strength it enables them to put immense numbors in possession of the same information at the same time, so they can all see the point under discussion—then the paper must record the reflex Trotn its readers. In its work of Gilding in the formation of the popular voice, two sides of a question will always den and consideration from journal, and the degroo of impartiality shown in thtir presentation will tlx its 'independent" status.

A sheet Independent enough to bo neutrral will give both sides in full, and speak its own mind plainly a biased publication will present the side which suits its own ideas best, while a party paper will give its favorite version, criticise severely anything and everybody opposing it, and will not lay itself open to covlction. •'/•O'i

Human reason, which leads a man to stick fast to what he knows to be true, is rapidly asserting Its supremacy as a guiding influence in all gnat questions of the day. -,\

No religion Is' all troth, no religion is all false no party is entirely right, no party is entirely wrong no tnau is all good, no man is all id. People do not believe everything is true because the paper says so. "Says so" is {Mx*r authority or guide, unless it siys both •ides of the matter, and then says its own say by commenting upon fact, and not irttA feeling.

vli

Tbe main desideratum In an Independent paper is truth, and too many journals fall far short ot being truthful. The public mind is full ot curios ity. and it is often fed with oonjetture. hearsay, or ignorance. In the news department, however, the direct control which may be exerted over other branches is impossible, «s tbe intelligence is drawn from variety of sources, and cannot, in the time allowed, especially upon dally papers, be supervised and authenticated.

An independent paper, however, will refuse to publish highly colored, sensational statements, and will correct any flUse intelligence It may uainten-

tiomally furnltb again. jt will not pre* •ebt authentic, Iniormation firom unknown or qaestionable channels.^

The general principles, applicable ?to "news" will apply to persons. Thlre is a tendency often manifested to write np obscure individuals and to write down thosd in places of honor or trust. A regard for truth should prevent their attempting to deceive the public in the first case, and a proper respect for legitimate position or authority should prevent abuse in the latter.

Again, the proprietors or editors of an independent paper should never use it to suit their personal ends—basing its public views upon any private opinion which they may have of any person 01 thing to do this would make them false to their position as organs ot public opinion.

M, rr/

The independent press will soon drive party journalists from the field, and tbe course of all branches of our government will be largely shaped by newspapers expressing the opinion of tbe people. If the press attains, and will retain its impersonality and independence, our government, uuder whatever party control will be a success and, as to our government we owe our rights privileges and pleasures, we can easily see that a most influential force in securing these advantages is, or will be, the Independent Press.

AN ELECTRIFIED ROOM. "A singular electrical phenomenon Is manifest at a dwelling on Pleasaut street. In passing around the room and rubbing the feet on the carpet, a person becomes highly charged with electricity upon touching the register or any good conductor, a brilliant spark of large size is developed. The gas can be readily lighted by first turning it on, and then rubbing the feet on the carpet and holding one finger over the Jet. A spark otten darts from the feel when passing over pertain places in tbe floor, producing a palmul sensation. The electricity is only develop*d by rubbing the feet on a carpet underlaid withMani la paper. When three or four persons take hold of hands and walk around, they all become powerfully charged, and the one first touching a conductor would not care to repeat the experiment. What peculiar arrangement in a house is necessary to produce this phenomenon, and its influence on the health of its Inmates, being constantly charged with electricity, is a question for the scientist.

Tbe above we find going the rounds ot the press, credited to the Worcester (Mass.,) Spy. There is nothing wonderful about it. The same singular "electrical phenomenon" can be produced in any house in the land, and is not all peculiar to that "dwelling on "Pleasant street." All that is necessary to produce it is for a person to walk rapidly, iu bare feet, over a Brussels carpet, the nap of which has not been worn off, dragging the feet along the carpet as he walks. The statement that it is necessary that the carpet should be underlaid with Manilla paper is incorrect, as can be easily demonstrated. The idea that the health of the inmates of that "dwelling on Pleasant street" isafteeted by this electrical phenomenon" is simply ridiculous, for so long as the inmates of that dwelling refrain from taking of their shoes and walking rapidly over their new Brussels carpet, just so long will they be undisturbed by a superabundance of oloctricity.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The fight in New Hampshire Is carried on with much vigor by both sides and the result is exceed nglv doubtful, each party is doing its utmost, and neither expresses confidence in achieving success. The unexpected victory won by the Democracy last Spring nerves them to unusual efforts, whilst the Republicans are sparing no exertions to restore the State to its old Republican status. A peculiar feature of tho contest is that each asserts what effect success would have on the other party, and denies for itself what is as cribed to it. Thus the Democrats say a Republican success means the renomi nation of Grant, which the Republicans deny whilst the Republicans assert that a democratic success means a coming to the frout of the old rebel leaders, which the Democrats deny. The deci sion will be made on Tuesday next, and whichever way it uoes, will have considerable effect on the summer campaign, especially if seconded by the vote of Connecticut.

MB. HoorEn's Civil Rights bill pro vides that any Inn keeper, common carrier, manager of any licensed place of amusement, teacher or officer of a schooi or other institution of learning under the cognizance Of the law, or officer of a cemetery, who may discriuu nate in anv respect against a citizen on account of his oolor, will be liable, if r. Hooper has bis way, to a line of 91,000 and a year's imprisonment. We move to add the words, "minister, pastor or priest of a church" after the words "place of amusement," that we may hav«i equality where it is tooofteu most sadlv wanted.

If all the theives bad consciences, what an sddition it would make to tbe Treasury. But, some how, only the petty larcency fellows repent and make restitution. Tbe grand larceny chaps, who steal by thousands, and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands never repent nor restore their ill-gotten gains. Here is a question for moralists. Why do little thieves have compunctious visitings of conscience and big thieves have no twinges

WOMAN 8UFFKAQR.

We see by the Philadelphia papers that with a view of moving,in tbe matter before the coming Constitutional Convention, the following petltion'is now being circulated in that city: To the amate find Haute cf RtpretentaHpe^ttf

J^ennt^lvania: Your 'petitioner*, cftlzens of the United Btbtes, would respectfully represent that we believe that women will be restrained of their Just rights wt cltls«ns of the State if they shall be denied representation In the coming Constitutional Convention and a voice in the formation of the supreme law attecting their lives, Uljerties, and properties and therefore pray your honorable

That, in all legislation providing for or regulating said convention, you will recognize the citizenship ol woman, and explicitly provide that qualifications of electors and delegates shall be without regard to sex.

The petitions are open for signatures at the rooms of the Pennsylvania WomaiSuffrage Association, No. 700 Aroh street, from ten to one o'clock, daily.

In this connection it may not be amiss, and will certainly be interesting, to briefly recapitulate the testimony of Governor Campbell, of Wyoming, on the influence of the feminine element in the politics and legislation of that Territory. As a careful observer, bis statements have tbe value of the evidence of an expert in the courts. Fully and freely stating his impressions, he says, in brief, that woman suffrage became the law in Wyoming by a Republican vote in the Legislature, and the enfranchised voters have never forgotten to whom they owe their new franchise. As grand jurors the women immediately made themselves felt, and with them the inquest ol the county became at once in fact what it was in name. The liquor laws were promptly enforced and disorderly houses mercilessly presented. As petit jurors they incline to a severe construction of their duties. It is noteworthy that a man was never convicted of homicide in Wyoming until women entered the jury-box, and the first homicide case tried before a jury among whom were women resulted |n a verdict of guilty. At the polls the women cast their votes now without exciting remark or even attention, their presence, if having any influence at all, having the same that it does in the parlor—refining and relieving the harsher features and manners of the occasionThese statements are facts, not opinions and as such have peculiar weight in tbe deliberation or argument of a question which will at Iko distant day, be vigorously and thoroughly canv ssed in every community throughout the Union.

MR. LO, the Indian, is a remarkably ingenious fellow in the preparation of materials of war. Here is bow he manages to obtain poisoned arrows: "With a piece of liver, fasted to a long Btick, they (the savages) proceed to the haunts of the rattlesnake, and, as soon as one of these reptiles is found, the Indian thrusts the meat toward him, at the same time exciting and irritating the creature with another long stick, carried for tbe purpose. The angry reptile now strikes luriously and repeatedly at the piece of liver, and soon the meat is charged with the poison. While tho Indian is thus engaged, it is necessary for him to be exceedingly cautious that the assailant does not become the assailed. If the mate of the angry snake should reach the Indian unperceived, he will carry home a charge of poison in a way not desired. After the liver is thus charged it is placed aside, and in a few days becomes a mass of black and putrid flesh. Into this the Indian thrusts the arrows that he reserves for the pjwpose, tlnse implements being specially designed for human foos. The poisoned arrows are not baited at the point, but at the end of the shaft, where it enters the barb, the latter being always loosely adjusted to the arrow. When the arrow is pul.ed out of the wound the barb remains, and soon infects the blood of the victim beyond all chance of recovery." The story is doubtless true, as it is made tho subject of illustration in Appleton's Journal.

MR. HAY, of Illinois, has Introduced in Congress a bill providing for printing sixty thousand additional copies

the report of

the Commissioner of Agriculture, a terrible mass of rubbish. A man with such an agricultural name should have better sense than to make thi* proposition, which isonly saved from absolute absurdity by the Information contained in the bill that the volumes are intented for the use of Congressmen, and not for farmers.—[N. Y. Sun.

This extravagance conies, in part, from the running of a printing office by the government. It is so easy to order the work done when we have a printing office of our own. It is like the expenditure in the family of a merchant. All that is required is to order supplies from "the store," and have them charged. No money being paid out directly for the article it seems as if they cost nothing. This government printing ofllce is an expensive luxury. Think of tbe work done. One hundred and twenty thousand volumes of five hundred pages each in one year. One work alone, the geographical exploration of tbe fortieth parallel of latitude, costing two hundred thousand dollars. This is considerable latitude for one work.

SOME of the Senators have recently been made the victims of an nnpleasant blunder, through tbe franking swindle. A lot of speeches, belonging to different members, bad accumulated, and several bags of different kinds were sent out to ce put in wrappers, and tbe person receiving tbem, inclosed them in wrappers, threw tbe whole into one pile, and then refilled tbe ,sacks from tbe mixture, and each Senator received an assortment. These were sent ont, and in a short time angry letters from oonstHaenls informed the Senators thst tbey bad been wending out tbe speeches of their opponents. Morton bad been distributing 8cbur*'s ablest efforts, Oonkling bad been furnishing Trum bull's ami Blair's, sod Tipton had been og Chandler's broadcast. Altogether it wss a nice mesa, and seed was probably sown tbat will produce a crop altogetf poll* News.

THE Council has ordered tbat the pavements on Sonth Sixth street to Parke ,and the east side side of North Seventh, to Chestnut street, be paved with brick. A councilman tells us it is desired to see how tbe property holders on these two streets stand it, before making the order more general. 1

THE County Commissioners have been in session all this week but nothing has been done worthy of note.

WE learn, upon good authority, that the directors of the Cincinnati and Ter-re-Haute Railroad p/opose to abandon the $100,000 appropriation made by this city, if compelled to come up Water street.
