Office: b Over "Bee Hive"Store SATURDAY, SEPT., 17, 1881. TgE Corydon Republican comes "P, X." Why certainly. The Democrats are beginning to smell Ben 'Butter in 1884. Hereafter wo propose to simplify matters by putting it guiteau. James A. 'Garfield has been President Garfield's best physician. Jeff Davis is in Paris. Jeff has the honor ef being the citizen of no country. Sxow fell at Black Hills last week. It took the cold .wave a long while but it did come, Ohio election three weeks from next Tuesday. It may be Foter,but there is also a probability of it going Bookwalterwards. It has -been almost two weeks since Charley Ross lias been founcl. or another comet discovered. This suspense is painful. - mm m If Ohio Prohibitionists can associate with the Democratic party and escape its poisonous pangs, it is ahead of any of its predecessors. Gov. Porter is to take part iu the Ohio canvass. Once in a while the Buckeyes get hold of something good when they, go the right place to get-it ". A Cincixkati clergyman has had the moral courage to pray for guiteau, feeling confident, perhaps, that the hellJsh wretch' needed stimulant of some kind. If the people are to believe Dr. Bliss bulletins of the President eating a "large piece of broiled meat" about every other day, there must have been several cows slaughtered about the White House since July 2nd. ' mm f m And now guiteau expresses a desire to get married. It is easy to 2nd "two fools well met, and likely a female will be found anxious enough for fame to join him. A hangman's instead of a hy menial knot would be more appropriate. These seems a general determination among the Republican voters in the State of New York this year to attend to the business of politics, and to suffrr the bosses to mind their own. If you would have your business well done, attend to'tt your self. : m ft m Dan Vckhees is of the opicion that Garfield is unable to act as President, and that Arthur should be installed, thus giving the Senate no presiding officer and the Democrats a jnajonty to elect one. Dan, with a better eye to his own glory than to business, might be persuaded by his "many friends" to act as Senate President himself. . m If Mr. Hendley the pretended mother Shipton went too far in 1862 iu selecting 1S81 a&the closing year of the world, because "one is an imperfect rhyme id "come ' he would have hit upon no twelvemonth more full of extraordinary and distressing occurences. A great earthquake in the Greek rich ipelngo; floods in various countries jt Europe; tornadoes in' the Northwest; tearful storms in the Sonth; . the appearance of two comets; an unexpectedly cold winter and an equally extraordinary hot summer, with its attendant drought; the assassination of the Czar of Russia aa4 the attempt murder of the President; the yellow clay iu New England, and the terrible forest fires in Michigan, have all come within the first nine months of th. present year f 1881.

It has been several days now since

we have noticed any thing in our Democratic exchanges about "Gener al Order No, 329," We can't account for it m Skvekal hornv-fisted Democratic editors will have a terrible time straightning up matters when Garfield is re-nominated iu 1884. It is always difficult to make a gun shoot accurately in opposite directions with the same load. "" The Republican majority in Morgan count' is easily accounted for. Where there; is auy civilization an organization that claims the Martins ville Medical. Advertiser (seldom called Gazette) as its organ, need not expect success. Morgan county Democracy deserves pity. . Ox Tuesday Senator Burnridcs, of Rhode Island, died very suddenly. Burnsides was born in Union county, this State, and during the war prov ed a valuable General. Politically he was an uncompromising Republican, tho' not what might be. termed a "stalwart" A riVE cent subscription has already been started for Mason, the guard who attempted to shoot guiteau, the other day, the object being to pay Masons expenses in court Mason deserves no help.. Anything short of wounding the hellish wretch, so' that gangrene would slowly but effectually cat away his life, is to be severly condMm.cd. Garfield's comrades in anr.s held their annual reunion Just wc'c. A fspacial feature of touching interest was a little group of Garfield's men of the 42nd Ohio standing in the shade of the woods weeping, wlr.lo Gov. Foster addressed (hem in the name so dear to every heart. It was unanimously resolved by the veterans to build a Garfield soldiers' monumental hall on the spot where the- have so often listened to his touching eloquence. The following was telegraphed to Mrs. Garfield: "The soldiers of Co. D. 42d Ohio Regiment, and their comrades in reunion here send their profound and heartfelt sympathy with yourself and your noble husband, and earnest prayers for an early and complete recovery." - "Papers were filed in tho Circuit Court of Tippecanoe county for . O. P. Jamison and J. B. Shaw, seniors, and Wm Bringham and Chas. Marsteller, juniors, who were sispended from Purdue University by the faculty for not complying with the new regulations this year, requiring all students to pledge themselves not to be members of Greek societies while attending the University. This has been done at the instance of the students and their parents, and to test in the eon rts the power of the faculty to make such regulations." Lafayette paper. Such a step should have been Jakcn years ago. If the Greek soci eties succeed in carrying their point ana are upneM by the supreme court, it will settle the matter thro out the State, and doubtless be test ed in other States. The piogrcseof the case will be watched with inter est, whatever tho result may be. : n 1 U The dispatches tell of a meeting of Vies President Arthur's friends at his house in New York, for the purpose of urging upon him the duty, as they inturpted a clause in the Constitution, ot at once assuming the office of President on the grounds of Presi dent Garfield s inability to perform the cluties. This course has not been decided upon, but it seems from tho information given that it will be considered very som again in any event. JLhe country at large will wonder at such a course. The public will regard it as unwarranted on the part of a Vice President to jump into the chair on account ot a six week s ill ness of their Chief Magistrate. The sympathizers with "the President (and this includes everybody) will fear that such a step would complete the work of killing, in which the bullet failed. It is easy to see how the coun try can be made to suffer much more than it is suffering on account of this illness of the Chief Executive officer.

The present, summer has been ex

ceptionally favorable for building purposes, and work on the new State House has advanced rapidly. On the west side the building lacks but a course or two of stone to complete the first story. On the east side the walls are not quite so higK but with anything like favorblc weather during the rest of the season the contractors will easily finish the wall up to the second story, which is all that was con templated for the present season. From this point until the roof is reach ed the work will proceed rapidly, the erection ot the walls between the foundation and the roof being the smallest part in the construction of such a building. Both the foundation and roof, however, require an immense amount of labor which makes but little show for time it consumes. The construction of a roof covering a building of such immense proportions is indeed a most difficult undertaking. The house is tho largest of its kind in the United Stales, and roof is an immense structure, the the iron alone weighing over 3,000,000 pounds. . The additional weight of mateiajl, whatever it may be, will be very great, and if terra cotta brick laid in cement on the iron frame, covered with one half suite, bedded in cement, is used, as in the new Iowa State House, die weight the trusses will be required to carry will be very great The last Legislature appropriated $100,000 to be used, if needed, in 18S2, for the purchase of iron for the roof. As it is likely the iron will have to b3 purchased next summer, the State House commissioners have detemined to throughly investigate the question of roof consructiou, in order to obtain a roof whose beauty, excellence and durability will render it worthy of the splendid building it is to cover. To this end the board will start soon on a visit to tHe Illinois State Ho'ise at Springfield, and the now State House now nearly finished at Des Moines, Io ' a. It is likely ihatlike strutu re elsewhere will also he inspected by the commissioners before a final decision of all details is reached. If the rate of progress made this season can be maintained, it h believed the building can be finished in five more years. The work is. now in its third year. WILL YOU BRACE?
