principle of the public debt thereby incurred. The statement of expenses growing out of the war from July 1, 1861, to Juno 30, 1879, inclusive, amounts in gross expenditures to $6,796,792,508; ordinary expenditures, $609,549,123 62; specific expenditures of tho war, $6,187,-

243,385.

Oun readers will, no doubt, thank us for putting them in possession of the following facts, which may be of incalculable benefit to them during the political campaign now upon us. Tho statement, as given by common report, is that in 1876, in New Jersey, almost every candidate in the State, including Congressmen, legislators, county and municipal officers, caught the itch from shaking hands during the campaign, as they innocently supposed, with legal voters, but really with six brothers, who made it their business to carefully canvass tho State and wiggle paws with every candidate. They were followed in about two weeks by their seventh brother, with the “boss itch lotion.” The family become independently wealthy from this “itch act” in one campaign, and now spend their winters in Florida, and summers in Saratoga, and the interims in tho cloak rooms of their State liOgislaiuro and Congress, finishing

up the chronic cases.

The question of interest as the National Democratic Convention approaches, is, What is Tilden’s strength—can ho secure tho nomination? Tho St. Louis PostDispatch has viewed the entire field, and its conclusions are; Nearly all tho delegates are now elected. Though most of them are uninstructed and have different preferences, their position on the Tildeu question can be put down with reasonable certainty. It may not be clear who the majority is fur, but it is quite clear that it is against Tilden. Assuming that ff’ilden’s name will be presented at Cincinnati—which we seriously doubt—the line will be drawn precisely as it was at Chicago—the fii Id against Grant—the field against Tilden. Tho following estimate has but one error—it invariably gives the benefit of every doubt to Mr. Tilden and treats his possible strength with the utmost generosity:

Ox Monday, Judge Gookins, of Terre Haute, well known to a large number of our citizens, died quite suddenly, of

heart disease.

At thecascus of the Fifth Congressional District, held at Indianapolis, Wednesday night last, a motion wa< carried recommending the postponement of the Congressional Conv.-ntion, which is called for the 24th inst., to sometime in August. Thi'iisdav's dispatches from Washington say that the latest news received from Seymour is to tho effect that he really positively declines to be a candidate at Cincinnati. A letter has been received here from a friend stating that Seymour himself supervised the recent interview in which he said that ho did not think it was usual for a person to accept the candidacy whose health was not equal to the duties of the office. At the caucus of tho Republicans of the Fifth Congressional District at Indianapolis Wednesday night, lion. John Hanna made a pointed and bitter speech against tho proposition made in some quarters for tho Republicans to join hands with the Greenbackcrs and support tho nominee of the latter for Congress. lie said in effect that the Republican party could not and would not stultify itself in that way, and that such a bargain could not be carried out if made. The effect of tho speech was the recommendation to postpone the Congressional Convention for a couple of months. And it is now said that Louisana Democrats want Hancock and McDonald. They say: “With Hancock as President, and McDonald, of Indiana as Vivo-presi-dent, there would be an end to the bloody shirt business forever. Both of these candidates can certainly count on a solid South, and their election would go further to unite both sections of the country than the election of any other of the can-

didates named.”

Obituary. By the death of Mrs. John S. Jennings, which occurred on Sabbath, Juno 13, Greencastle has lost, not only one of her pioneer citizens, but one whose devoted Christian life, purity and nobility of purpose, and lovely character, has exerted a lasting intluence upon the society of this place. And yet so great was her humility that she would, if liTing, utterly disclaim all praise, in this language, “I have only tried to do my duty.” Myra Jewett was born at Pepperell, Mass., in the year 1802. She was the oldest of a large family of thirteen children, and she very ear y began to learn those lessons of patient thoughtfulness and of loving care for these around her which renders her memory so dear to the friends who are now mourning her loss. The limited means of her parents made it a difficult matter for them to give to their large family the advantages for education which they desired, but with that persistent energy and determination which has always been a strongly marked characteristic, she overcame tho obstacles which lay in her way. Her great desire was to qualify herself for the office of a teacher, that she might “do good,” not only by imparting to the youth that knowledge which would prepare them for tho active duties of life, but, further than this, that she might by precept and example incite them to lives of unselfish devotion, to higher and nobler aims than simply living for their own enjoyment or for the gratification of worldly ambition. She was for a time a pupil in Miss

The national convention of the National Greenback Labor Party, met at Chicago last week. The Secretaries state that 650 delegates were present, representing every State in the Union. lion.Gilbert F. Do La Matyr was made temporary Chairman. After the presentation ol the names of candidates for tbe Presidential nomination, the first ballot was tnkfm, with the following result: Weaver, 226; Wright, 124; Dillaye, 117; Chase, 100; Butler, 95; Ellis, 41; Campbell, 21. In tho first formal ballot, most of the votes were transferred to Weaver, and before tho close of the roll call, ho having received over 500, there was a general stampede to him, and tho chair announced that General James B. Weaver, of Iowa, was the nominee of the Greenback Labor party for President on the firttt ballot. For Vice President there wore only two candidates, A. M.

Ninth—All property should bear its just proportion of taxation, and wo demand a graduated income tax. Thirteenth—We demand a Government of the people, by the people and for the people, instead of a Government of the bondholder, by the bondholder and for the bondholder, and we denounce every attempt to stir up sectional strife as an effort to conceal monstrous crimes against the people.

The Republicans of Indiana met in Slate Convention, Thursday, and nemiDutel a State ticket. For LieutenantGt vernor the lightning struck Greencastle, v C t hut little local enthusiasm is mani vsted among Repubiicans. W. H. Colkins presided and Col. Ray w’as secretary. Tho platform is quite lengthy, and we cannot find space for it this week. The choice of tho nominee for Governor was made on the third ballot, by the following vote: Rtreight, 358>2; Porter 627 1 ,; McKcen, 32; Burgess. 12; Gresham, 3; Btandfield, 1. Before the vote was announced Postmaster Holloway leaped to his feet, an 1 with “three cheers for Albert G. Porter,” set the convention off into a paroxysm of shouting. I' or Lieut. Governor there wero seven candidates and it required two ballots to decide the matter, both of which we present, as rollows: The first ballot resulted: Hanna, 39Oh); Davis, 208; Oyler, 1041.,; Overmeyer, 318: Streight, 10; Rob. . tson, 1; Calkins, 2. On the second ballot Hanna w’as nominated, receiving 545bj votes. The other candidates had: Overmeyer, 278; Davis, 117',; Oyler, 53; Streight, 33; Grose, 6. A man's leg with a stocking on, was found in tho Chicago River tho other morning. The only thing that seemed to causejany wonder on the part of the bystanders was that the parties who murdered tho man forgot to take the stocking.

arrival in Greencastle, she rented and furnished a room and opened her school. This school she continued to teach, struggling along alone, amid many trials, difficulties and discouragements for three years, who n a younger sister came out to

share her labors.

1 think it will not be inappropriate to state hero that this school was not a pecuniary success, ns the teacher found at the close of the first term that after paying her board and the expenses of the school-room, she was $1 in debt. At the end of the second she was $1 ahead, and at the end of the third again $1 in debt. After this she came out even one or two times. But hers was a true missionary work, and this was a labor of love. But she was not satisfied with the work of the j

day school merely, and on the 13th of (jq~~r . A

April, 183 k she gathered together a few of her scholars and some others in her school-room, and taught the Hist Sab-bath-school ever taught in this place, and for many years—indeed, as long as strength permitted, she was an earnest faith ful teacher, always at her post and al ways enforcing by her own pure, lovely and consistent life the piinciplcs which she endeavored to instill into the minds

of her pupils.

In the spring of 1837 she was compelled, in consequence of ill health, to resign the school entirely to her sister, but upon the marriage of her sister, the 7th of June, she again re sumed the office of teacher, which she continued to fill until her own marriage to Mr. J. S. Jennings, which took place tho 13th of August, 1841. They had two children, both of whom died in infancy. Always delicate from a child, her long life was a life of much suffering, yet in all these many long, wearisome days of languor and nights of pain no one over heard a murmur or a complaint from her lips. Those who were with her and ministered to her wants during the last year can testify to her patient resignation and cheerful submission to to the sufferings which she felt wore sent by tho loving "Heavenly Father for her good.” She always tried to avoid giving othors any trouble, being hardly willing to accept the loving ministrations of those who felt that it w’ould be impossible to do too much for one who was so patient and gentle, and who had devoted her life so wholly and so unselfishly to others. The funeral services were conducted at the residence, by her request, Prof Ballcntine and Dr. Fisk officiating. And the record of another Christian life is finished in love, and joy and peace; but who shall say how long its influence sha!'- rct,i like a benediction upon those who have witnessed the life and the death of this humble, devoted follower of our loving Savior. ***
