THE Democrats cf Fayette townnhip will "meet at fchnnk's schcol house, near New Goi-hen, on Saturday, March 23d, at-ot.e ock)ck, to nominate a township ticket.

WILLIAM FIKMIG, Democratic candidate for Treasurer of State, is ill at h:6 re6iderce in Fort Wayne. It is probably a 1 taction from the excitement of his cai.va«K.

BRIXTON A. HILL, cf St. Louis is a candidate for president on the national ticket, and so is "Brick" Pomerov. Both men n.'U*t step aside, however, giving place to Terre Haute6 favorite son. The ^election will be Lv adoration.

JUDGEMENT was entered in New York last week against Tweed for $1,000,022.17. The million represents the judgement •and the $22.17 the costs. It said that Tw ecd proposes to manifest his repenitant f.pirii by paying the costs.

HGIL." SHAMVLIN has retired from the editorial force of the Evan6viile Courier, of which he is joint partner with ihis brother. This is in confirmity with the example set by the late Horace Greelej who retired from the editorial management of the N. Y. Tribune when he was nominated for President.

IT will not always do to depend upon) ordinary maxims as tules of conduct. An example in point is found in the following paragraph taken from an ex•change.: •'God help the man that helps himself but Gcd lulp the man caught helping himself here," is a notice posted behind •the-countt of a silversmith in Boston.

A doubted-barrelled gun hangs near the .notice.

THE ciiizcr.s of Syracuse, New York, \are arouted on the tubjectcf the bankrupt law. At a meeting the other day ttiong resolutions asking for its unconditional repeal were passed. A memorial, signed by an immense number of persons, was prepared and has been sent to Congress for prtscntalion there. The ifceling that the bankrupt law is a mistake, is.gaining ground, and under the •lead of the Democratic party, which ha8 Advocated its repeal, at is altogether probable that it wili be wiped from the atatute books before very long.

T»HK Fort Wavne Sentinel pays the following handsome compliment to D. S. Alexander. formerly a resident of Fort Wayne, later the Indianapolis correapandent of the Cincinnati Gazette, and oowrfin attorney in Indianapolis. It is a ne-atxthing in its way and is as follows:

D. S. Alexander's many friends in this city will be pleased to learn that he promises to^ucceed admirably in the practice of the Jaw. The first case he tackled was a bastardy 6uit, the result of which was a very impressive marriage ceremony..

PRIKOE^BISMARCK,

the great German

"Prenaier, i&said to be entangled in pecun-: iary err bartassments. One who seems to be well informed in details says that he bought Margin and the adjoining estate after (the war of J866, and it was generally asserted that the purchase money far exceeded the real worth of the land, in order to obtain an interest corresponding to]the large funds invested, he divided'the estate into various smal^ parts, which he Jet out to farmers, and furthermore plunged into speculative en terprisee. He was instrumental in start fog a joint-stock companf for the erecCion of a large paper null, to which he exclusively furnished wood and other necessary materials. This ftampany failed about a /ear ago, inflicting a terkms lea* on Btsmarck, who, be» •iies holding the greater part of the ahu*s was one of the largest creditors 4?wjn£ the MID payment ot bh clauas

for some time previously. As his Lauenburg e»tares, presented to him in acknowledgment of his great services after the late war against France, despite their immense value, only yie'.d a comparatively small interest, his pecuniary embarassments are now quite enough to account lor hi* increas:m irritability/

COLONEL ROBERTO. INGERSOLL in tends to leave Peoria and take up his residence in Washington. With this end in view he has advertised his elegant house and lot in Peoria for sale. Me will practice law in Washington with a brother who already is a resident ot that city. Having come into national prominence, Colonel Robert thinks that he can make more money practicing law before the Supreme Court of the United States than he can in Illinois, and as the Colonel does not believe in a herealter be is persuaded that it behooves him to make bay while the sun shines in this world. Sj.eaking of his proposed change of residence the Peoria Transcript says: "As a'citizen and neighbor, Colonel Ingersoll had won the hearts of every one, and whatever may have been said, about either his politics or his religion, or rather, if you will, his irreligion, he ha^ not a single enemy among us. Our people are unanimously of the opinion that Colonel Ingersoll was most shabbilytreated by the present National Administration, and they wonder how he has managed to be so lenient toward President Hayes after such inexcusable neg lect. Probably the religious element ot the country has had much to do with this, and there are those who think they hee in the Colonel's late violent raids on religious dogmas a spirit of retaliation We hardly agree in this view."

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS. What the GAZETTE has often asserted viz:, tbat, in the coming stale campaign, there is every atsuranee of Democratic success, is now beginning to be admitted by Republican papers in Indiana, and in adjoining states, where they are familiar with our politics. It doe6 not require remarkable prophetic power to read the indications of the times. All the moccasin tracks point in the same direction. The trail has been and is new plain, and the direction taken apparent. Who runs may see it. -V'': 'it

An earnest desire upon the part ot the Democrats fcr an early convention was an indication of the confidence felt both by the leaders and the rank and file of the party itself.

The great number cf candidates, who competed before the convention for the various nominations, was an additional assurance on the same point and to the 6ame effect.

Again, the platform is a true exponent of the wishes of the people of Indiana in regard to the leading issue now before the people. Whoever comes after must either antagonize these principles or be content to steal them. And as for the people at large they prefer to range them6i Ives on the 6ide which most boldly champions their views.

We said at the outset' that Republican papers were now beginning to admit that the advantage of position, and all the assuranc 6 of victory are on the side of the Democrats. In proof of this we adduce an extract from an editorial article in the Danville (III.) News, an unusually level-headed Republican paper. Itsay6:

While there is much Tn these resolutions that we do not consider sound political doctrine, yet there is much to captivate the people at the present time. Both the Republicans and Greenbackers are anticipated in point of time and utterance, and the democracy are pretty certain to sweep the state by a large majority.

But had the Republican press and management of Indiana been bold and straightforward against gold resumption and fur the remonetization of the silver dollar, the Republican party would have stood a fair 6how. But the Indianapolis Journal took a severe attack of gold-bug epizootic, and many of the 6tate papers

caught the same distemper from it, and il ing for the gold-bugs the democracy-

while they have been sneezing and snortth' have captured the state.

GEORGE WASHINGTON The Sunday School Times, piinted at Philadelphia, issued an edition on the 22nd of February, just passed, which it calls the Washington Birthday Number. It is a curiosity in its way. It is, indeed, a memorial number, and contains a great variety of matter concerning the "Father of his Country." Some of the teatures are altogether new and entirely novel. We give a synopsis of the contents bearing on this subject, taking it from a notice in the Times itself: X*

All the governors of the original thirteen states contribute articles on Wash ington for this numbef, and proffer time, ly counsel to the you ot America, and to their parents and teachers. These representatives of the "old thirteeri" are Governors Prescott ot New Hampshire, Rice, ot Massachusetts, Van Zandt of Rhode Island, Hubbard of Connecticut, Robinson of New York, McClellan of New fersey Hartranft of Pennsylvania, Cochran of Delaware, Carroll of Maryland, Holliday of Virginia, Vance of North Carolina, Hampton of Cnuth Carolina, and Colquitt of Georgia. Some ot the governors write at considerable length but besides their contributions the number contains articles, emphasizing various aspects of Washington's life, character, and exam* pie, by Joseph Cook, Edward Eggieston, and the Rer. Dr, Jgfchard Newton.

THE TERKE HAUTE WEEKLY UAZE1TK.

Charles Dudley Warner compares Wash. ngtoi with Rame*es II Dr. Benson Lossing describes all his headquarters in his various campaigns and President G. W. C. Lee, of Washington and Lee Univers'tv, includes in his article an unpubl she 1 letter on education, written by Washi i«ton himself. The two fine poems of th? number are by William Cullen Bryant and Paul H. H&yne, representing the north and the south.

But the sensational feature of the paper is an article on Washington, furnished to the Times, at it? request of course, by President R. B. Hayes. It is a 6hort letter but a good one in its way, and as a matter of news to our readers, lor it has not seen the light elsewhere, we give it here entire. It is as follows:

Washington, Feb. 16, 1S78.

To the Editor of the Sunday School Times: The only American whote birthday is generally known and widely ce'e' rtfed is Washington. The Father oft is i.i.untry is remembered and horor ti troughout the world for what he did and what he was. None of my young friends who read the Sunday School Times are likely to have an opportunity to do such great deeds as were done by Washington. But all of them will have an opportunity to be like him in character. Thev can have his love of country, his integrity, and his firmness in doing the right. To have such a character is better than rank, or wealth, or fame. It is a possession which cannot be taken away. As Webster said so impressively of a^senne of duty" "It will be with us through this lite, will be with us at its close, and in »haf. 6cene of inconceivable solemnity which lies yet farther onward" it will still be with us.

Sincerely, ', R. B. HAYES.

GO TO THE BOTTOM. Let us go the bottom of the financial problem. If the dive is toe iieep, anil theturu required to make it too long, iheu let us ODCJ be^in the cons rucn^n of a diving bell. At al'. events let us re.olve I hat g« to the bottom wn will, sooner «r litter. This bottoat Is to "nay as yon go." The way to the tiottom is to nelegalize debt. We know wlmi wo undertake when we advocate this d"Ctrinu. We are aware that when people ar.- not sure the new road is the best, thev will persidt in traveling the olcl one, though the* may I fully aware that it could not be mude *tiT w'9e. Oneofibo surest ways to emancipate labjr, is to abolish debt.

5

We do not suppose that debt can beablished absolutely. What we advocate, to abolish the great temptation to make debt, to-wit: the law for the collection of debts.

The creditor who holds a debt secured bv honor alone, is always willing to take into reasonable account the circumatauocs by which the debtor is embarrassed, and volunt»rily snares the ad luck wth him. ots the creditor who is seenred by the pou^d of flush, and who executes with the knife.

We shoul'l not lose sight of the fact patent to nearly all. that debt one of the greatest cursce giowing out cf civilization, ar dwe should, ht the earliest, practicable day, delegalize it.—.Morning Exuress.

How this may look |-to others we do not know, but to the GAZETTE it looks very much like ''going to the bottom,'1 and staying there too, flat of one's back. We have no desire to argue the point What we are anxious about is that it should have the widest possible publicity, and that it should be distinctly understood as being a legitimate result of the 60 called national party's teaching —the real end and aim which that organization hns in view.

We desire to antagonize it sharply with the declaration inn .•*. the Democratic state platform adopted at Indianauolis last week. That plank is in the following language, and to it we earnestly invite the attention of the reader.

That we sincerely deplore the recent vlo lent collisions between labor and rnpit&l, and to prevent the recurrence tb reof, and to protect the future public order and security we believe that toe wages of employes of

Fn

corporations engaged the business of

minintr, manufacturing ana transportatieii snouldoeafirst lien upon the rcceipta and earnings of said corporations, and that said lien should be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legislation.

It is a part ot this plank, so obvious as to need no waste of words in its expression, that the wages of labor due and unpaid 6hall bear interest. When this is accomplished interest» a good thing for the laborer. This it will be remembered was one of the demands made by the rail road men here last summer, and found public expression through the columns of the GAZETTE in an article written for it by Mr. Nisbett.

Working men may make their choice between the two organizations. One of them proposes to abolish all laws for the collection of debt, leaving labor no recourse on capital and corpoiations for its wages. The other proposes to make the wages of labor a first lien the property of capitalists and corporations, proposes in that way to collect wages surely and swiftly. and further proposes, during any period of delay in payment, to make capital pay "to labor a fair interest on the wages so retained.

If the laborers of Indiana who are complaining that capital is grasping and greedy, and a driver of hard bargains, desire to leave the payment of their wages as a mere matter of honor in the hards of capitalists, well and good. Let them go to Corinthian hall and ioin the secret organization for.ning there. Let them learn the ridiculous mummery of signs, and grips, and passwords, and all the other paraphernalia of a secret political organization, the like of which has not existed in this country since Democratic votes killed and buried the Know Nothing party, years ago.

If on the contrary they believe that the wages of labor should be collected surely and swiftly, and with interest for delay, by and through the law, let them remain in, or come to the Democratic party. It Is the true party of the people.

THE INTER CONVERTIBLE BOND. Readers of the GAZETTE, and the people of this section of country, generally will learn with surprise that our old friends the Greenbackers, lately clnistened the Nationals, have repudiated the interconvertible bond scheme. Person* with very short memories indeed, can remember v*ell when that was the cardinal doctrine of the party here. Day afterff|§ day, '^f'week »n and week out, our enthusiastic contemporary, the Express, extolled the sovereign virtues of this new-fangled bond. Nothing like it, so our contemporary said, had ever been invented. It was the veritable philosopher's 6tone which was sure to transmute want into plenty. It was to be the grand balance wheel of the new financial *vsterr. It would regulate the volume of the currency, keeping it all right and enabling everybody to have a sufficiency just short of a disagreeable gorge. It was in a word the corner stor.e of the new financial edifice. It was the key stone of the new financial arch. Too much could not be said in its iavor by our enthusiastic contemporary. The country was cute to go to the demnition bow-wows if the interconvertible bond was not adopted right off. Everybody was given to understand that our contemporary's party demanded the interconvertible nd as the only means of making capita! take its grip off of the .throat of labor. Day after dav, from the rising to the setting of th un, the beauties of the interconverti'ol

In the name of all the Gods on high Olympus, all at once, has it come to this! Is ."the endorsement of an interconPervertible bond a9 a regulator of the currency" to be be called one of ""the leading points of danger which faced the convention" by a convention made up of the inventors and patentees of that kind of band?

Is the chief apostle of that bond here on the banks of the placid Wabash the apostle, but for whom the interconvertible bond would have had no champion in this *ec. lion, now to rise up like an unnatura father and smite his misshappen offspring?

Was the child born with teeth full grown, and hump-backed like Richard^ duke of Gloster, the murderer king ot England, that his parents are to repudiate hiin in this fashion?

When did infantcide cease to be a crime and become a thing about which men might boast, and these men the unnatura] parents of the pretty little innocents, ccld and stark in death?

And three short months have wrought thi* change. But three brief moons from now this child was stuck under the nose of every man in the community. Orders were issued to kiss and coddle it and call it pretty, under penalty of incurring the everlasting displeasure of the close corporation which calls itself, with infinite assumption, "the people,"—if the command wa? not obeyed. But ninety days ago the interconvertible bond was the great be all and end all of finance now none so poor as to do it reverence and its parents are kicking it about the earth and calling it a point—a point mind you, nothing but a point—of danger which faced a convention.

li

11 system

of finance, and it glorified, were 'ung by the ExpreiK. Everyb Jv w.» read that paper during a period of nine months, ending about three months ago, knows the truth whereof we speak, for its columns were filled with it. Everybody who read the GAZETTE during same period can testify to the same effect, for we took frequent occasio«. to state our opinion of the scheme as a snare and a delusion, and to expostulate with our contemporary for chasing such an ignis fatuus. If it had succeeded in getting possession of the Government then, as it did not, the very first thing that would have been d«ne would have been the inauguration of the interconvertible bond scheme,

Let us see how matters 6tand now. IVe are obliged to quote our contemporary, for the paper is the party, and the party is the paper. It is a close corporation, and when either takes snuff the other sneezes. Now, the fine Italian hand of our editorial brother wrought at the Toledo platform, and, like another historical personage who rested on the seventh day after his labors, and, contemplating his work, 6aid that it was g)od, our brother's soul in satisfied with his work on the Toledo platform.

Was the interconvertible bond corner stone laid there? No. It was rejected by the builders. And it was rejected by the consent, and we imagine with the connivance of our brother. We cannot be mistaken in this, fjr on the Sabbath dy, lastpatt, resting from his labors, and contemplating his week's work at Toledo he spoke concerning "The Toledo Convention" in general, and the interconvertible bond in particular, asfollws: 7 "Three leading points of danger faced the convention: 1. Th'i indorsement of an In terconvertible bond as thn regulator ot tbe currency." "All those propositions were rejected by the committee on resolution*, »na tho convention decided that there should be noendoroement ef the bond M-atem." "The points of danger weres-felv passed, and the plutform is one upon vh ck fur and reasonable men may stand without compromise of principles."

"Oh, j-« XatfAuals RUM to your houses, fall upon yonr knee. Pray to tbeGodtto intermit the plague

That neeia must light on this incra'itude."

It would have osen awkard, to say the least of it, r*ow wouldn't it,—we put this

•r0r

as a question—if our gay and fe6ti\e friends had really succeeded a year or so ago in gaining possession of the Government? The whole machinery ot financial legislation would have been set expensively in motion on the interconvertible bond scheme, and then, before the printing., presses had gotten well worn down to work, out of the Treasury baserrent they would have been carted as old iron, because the Nationals had chan ed their minds, and came to the conclusion that their cardinal doctrine was a traud,—"a leading point of danger to a convention." Can the country afford to play at hide and seek with 'egirlation? That is the question, and it

a very serious and telemn one. Are the people so well offt are they so flush of money are their barns so full and their cellars s, crowded that thev can risk calamitous experiments at the hands of a set of leilows whose trade it is to invent new devices, and whose mot'o is that "Whatever is, is wrong.'*'

And Sends Him to the Penitentiary for Life.

Gale^buig, III.. Feb. 24.— The jury in the Rande murder case, afttr being locked in their room for forty hours, returned a.verdict yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. The officers of the court and the attorneys were sent for. Rande was brought from the jail and the jury filed into their box. The clerk read the verdict as follows: "We, the jury, find the prisoner guilty of murder in the manner and form as charged in the indictment, and further fix his punishment at imprisonment in the penitentiary for the term of his natural life." O. F. Price made a formal motion in arrest of judgement atid for a new trial. The court over ruled the motion. :ind Rande stood up to receive his sentence. On being asked if he had anything to say, Rande said that he would like to consult with his counsel first. Mr. Price consulted with him a lew moments. He then politely addressed the court, saying that he was l.ot guilty of murder, and that several witnesses from Gilson and Michigan City swore falsely against him. Judge Smith then sentenced the prisoner to be confined at hard labor in the state prison, at Joliet, dui ing his natural life, the first twenty-four hours in solitary confinement. He manifested no change whrn stntence was pronounced.

The officers considered it advisable to remove Rande to Joliet without delay, as trouble was anticipated as soon as the verdict should be made public. Consequently, he was taken to tha depot heavily ironed, and in charge of several officers lett on the morning train. A large crowd witnessed his departnre. Rande feels proud cf the idea that he is not going to han?, and appears well pleased with what hit attorneys have done for him. It is certain that they have done for him all that was in the power of any men to do. The morning trains brought a large number of people from the adjoining towns, who were greatly dissapointed when they learned that Rande had left quietly for Joliet.
