LINTON TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.

Notic: is hereby given to the Democracy of Linton township and to all those desiring to act with the Democrat ic party that they are requested to meet in convention at Hartford, Linton township, on Saturday, March 13th, 1880, for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the April elec tion.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS!!

Democrats of Rily township are re­

quested to meet at Lockport on

Saturday, the 13th Day of March, «for the purpose of nominating town­

ship ticket to be voted for on the 6th

day of April, 1880.

CONGRESS betrays a disposition to reaffirm the Monroe doctrine as touching •--any and all inter-oceanic projects.

BY negotiation with the Utes each head of a family is to get 160 acres of land and each single person one half that amount—to be ncn-taxable for twentyyears. Certain annuities are to be given •al60.

ALREADY Grant has an absolute certainty of sufficient votes in the Chicago Convention to secure his nomination.

Blaine and Sherman would "better bide a wee"—say, "for example, until Grant dies.

A LETTER from O. W. Cassady, a prominent citizen of Sugar Creek township, in relation to the exodus, will be found in this issue of the GAZETTK. He 'writes intelligently and to the point. The GAZETTE can urgently qwess his letter oh the attention of the ^reader. Hi« interview with one of the exodusters contains matter worthy the se fious consideration of the reader

ITALY, following the example s^t by Germany, Russia and Austria, proposes to

increase her army. Taxes in Italy are quite as heavy already as the people can -Carry, and if King Humbeit desires a long

reign he will do well to diminish .^rather than augment the budget. His people are not devotedly attached either to

monarchical government or their jpresent monarch. On slight provocation the fires of revolution would burst 'forth and rage furiously. King Humbert should employ more Fox and less lion—make

diplomacy do the work for

which he wants more guns.

SUPPORTING GRANT. A German editor, who has at las come to the conclusion tha rant's^nomination is inevitable, gives his support O the movement in the following wail:

Oar political life is rich in disappoint

rrents. Whoever wants to exercise some nfluence in shaping public affairs must join a party, and by so doing must sacrifice a great part of his indepandence For it is self-evident that of five million members of a party every one cannot have his own individual way every sensible man sses, likewise, that a party can only then be able to succeed when its members acquiesce in the resolutions which party or caucus conventions pro mulgate.

The individual citizen who intends to take part in public affaii must join that party which comss nearest to his views and within this party he has to be guided by the resolutions of the majority. It is true that not always that which is most to be wished can be attained very often that which is possible remains far behind our wishes this is certainly not pleasant, but it cannot be helped. For, as we said before, it is simply impossible that five million of men should in all things be of the same opinion.

CHEAP POLITICAL CAPITAL. The Democratic Board of Commissioners of Vigo county wish to establish a sort of Star Chamber supervision over the Trustee of Harrison township. IN another column will be found a card from Trustee Abbott, which shows that our Democratic Board intend to control the office wheihcr their party elect tbeir candidate or not. The people will be apt to sit down upon such a policy on election day.—[Express.

We think if the editor of the Express had taken the pains to learn the facts in relation to the case, for the action of the County Board he would feel that he had done the Board great injustice. Board has never delegated the right to purchase wood to Abbott or any other Trustee, but buys wood by the wholesale, by advertising for bids, and by that means saving many dollars to the tax payers of Vigo County. But Trustee Abbott, assumed the right and bought one hundred and thirty cords of wood) and the Commissioners have to provide for its payment if paid at all.

The Commissioners furnished Abbott with about 500 cords of wood last fall, and at the same time told Abbott not to buy any more if that gave out without consulting the Board, but he paid no attention to their wyshes, and bought the 130 cords without consulting them.

Abbott knew when he published' his card in the Express, that he was trying^to mislead the public, by attempting to show that' he was prohibited from supplying the poor with wood without first con suiting the Board.

Trustees have the right to give tem porary relief to the sick and needy at any time without consulting anybody? and nobody knows this better than he does. 1

Mr. Abbott is not prohibited from issuing wood to the poor or sick by the order of the Board but he is prohibited from buying wood by the wholesale. If his supply of wood is exhausted he can at any time notify one of the Commissioners who Will make arrangements for wood. The Commissioners have passed stronger orders in regard to purchasing books and stationery for county officers, but you don't hear any of them set up a howl about it. In as much as the Editor of the Express is rather a stranger in this community, and has so far conducted his paper in a very respectable manner, we feel safe in saying that the Commissioners would be glad at any time to have him visit the Auditor's office and see what they have to contend with in their official duties.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP DEMOCRACY. The ticket nominated by the Democracy of Harrison township on Saturday is a strong one. Mr. Kenser, the nominee for Trustee, is a man of business capacity and energy, He is intimately acquainted with the township and its needs. At various times he has done work as a contractor on sewers and streets and has, therefore, a practical knowiedge of the road question, which is at the present time one of absorbing interest to the people of this whole community. One of the ost important duties of the Trustee relates to his care of the roads in Harrison township, outside of the city of Terre Haute. In a halt dozen different directions leading out from the city the roads need work. Mr. Kinser's practical knowledge of this subject will stand him in good stead as Trustee, and enable him to secure the best possible roads at the least possible expense, which is, we take it, just what the people want. It}was his eminent fitness on this point which probably secured his nomination over his excellent and worthy competitors before the convention. In asking the popular suffrage for him the Demcc racy of Harrison township feel as If they were inviting the people to support their own best interests. In his jurisdiction over the poor Mr. Kinser ought to be able to do the right thing as between the tax-payers and the indigent applicants for aid. Having had to work hard for every cent of money he ever had he knows the value of money, and being still a poor man and one who has worked at the hardest kind of labor, he knows the needs of the poor, their trials and their sufferings. He can be safely depended on in these matters if

there is such a thing as judging a man's future conduct by his record. Mr. Kercheval, the candidate for Assessor, is also a person worthy of any man's vote, ^t should be understood that the office of Assessor this year is of more than common importance, inas much as real estate is to be assessed by the person elected this spring. This is not a matter of child's play, but a serious and sober piece of business. On the basis of values so established the taxes are to be paid for several years to come. It is eminently desirable that these values should be equitably and justly fixed. It requires good judgment and experience to do this, Mr. Kercheval is a man of sound busi ness qualifications and has had experience, several years ago having filled the office of city assessor. Without disparaging the opposirig candidates it is only proper to say that Mr. Kercheval is very much the most competent of the three for the place.

The constables—those colossal conser vators of the peace and dignity of the State of Indiana and collectors of small debts—are, as far as the GAZETTE knows, capable of performing the duties which will devolve upon them. In the hurdle race for there positions they will follow at the heels ot the leaders at the head of the ticket.

A FAMILY FEUD.

Among that fiery set of Southern statesmen who introduced into Congress what was known as "plantation manners" none were more conspicuous than S. Foote, of Mississippi. A cor res ent of a Northern paper writing from Florida gives a portion of his history which, if known throughout the South, has never, at any rate, been published in this section and woujd bear perusal The writer begins his story as follows: "Many years ago, when H. S. Foote ('Hangman Foote,' as he is better known) was a young man in the mountains of North Carolina, he resolved to emigrate westward, and chose Alabama as his future home. He had a fine collegiate education, a knowledge of the law, and varied literary accomplishments, but very little money, and when he arrived at Huntsville he was pretty nearly penniless. On stopping at the hotel on the morning of his arrival there he naturally asked what the news of-the day and the neighborhood was. The town was in an intense state of excitement just then over a sot of vendetta that had been fought between two families in the neighborhood, the Winstons and the Magones. Three or four had been killed on each side, and, though the actual hostilities had ceased for the time, it was liable to be taken up again any day. The feud between the Winstons and the Magones had existed for years, and every once in a while they would meet and fight it out, though neither side was ever known to give up.

Foote was a young man, as I have said, and an utter stranger in the section He was absolutely ignorant of the merits of the feud on either side, and yet he decided that it was his opportunity to take a hand and establish himself, as it were. So he bought the local newspaper on credit, and espoused the Magone side the quarrel. He carried war into Africa, and his attacks on the Winstons were such aa had never been known in that section. All the inv ective that could be invented by such a master of invective as Foote afterwards proved himself to be were showered on the opposing family. Indeed, he surprised and almost alarmed the Magnoes by his attacks on their ancient foemen.

After a few months of this red-hot journalism there was another outbreak, and half a dozen Winstons and as many Magones were killed. Then it was decided to call a truce, as it was evident that the fight, if kept up much longer, must be one of extermination to both sides. So they called a meeting of four or five representing both sides to fix upon some plan to stop the flow of blood. There were two Winstons, two Magones and Foote at this meetingafter a lengthy discussion it was decided that they wocld buy Foote's newspaper from 1 ,and after that they should all leave the State and go in different directions. One family was to go North, that was the Magone family, who removed to Tennessee. Another was to go South that was the family of Winstons, who lived in the western part of this State many years, and some of whom still remain there. The remaining one Jutr. Foote, was to go West, and he set tied in Mississipi. No one belonging to either party was to evir return to Alabama to live, and the agreement then entered into has been lived up to fully ever since. vvr

/it.

Hangman Foote soon* achieved fae and position, and ere many years was in the United States Senate. Two or three of the Winstons also went into politics, and became prominent in their State councils, while one of them, I believe, went to Congress afterward. The Magones, of Tennessee, have'enjoyed a commanding position at the bar of that State for many years. The family feud which had existed so long was ended by voluntary banishment of all artiea."

LABORERS SCARCE AND WAGES HIGH

SUGAR CREEK TOWNSHIP. SUGAR CREEK, February, 29,1880. Ho the Editor of the GAZETTE:

In reply to your call for information in regard to the demand for laborers in the different townships, I would say that the supply of laborers is equal to, if not greater than the demand for laborers in this part of the township. There has been no colored laborers brought into this part of the township and if there should be any brought they could not find employment unless they would work for less than white men.

The wages of farm hands ranged from $12 to $15 per month last year, and probably will not be any higher the coming year this sum is paid for about five or six months only, beginning about the first or middle of March, and lasting until the last of September or October, while during the remainder of the year a great many work for their board, or, at least, for a small sum.

As the Exodus question is exciting considerable discussion at the present a few facts known to the writer may be of interest:

Some time ago while on the way to town, I was met by a negro inquiring for Mr. McPheters. After a few questions I leaaned that he was an Exoduster from North Carolina and, after the great amount of noise made by the Republicans about "rifle clubs," and

'Anakesis.,

Uku

klux,"

was glad to have an opportunity of learning the facts in the case from this negro. This negro informed me that no "bulldozing," "intimidatiqn," "rifle clubs," "ku klux," nor anything of the sort existed in North Carolina and that the State was as free from mobs as Indiana as far as he knew and, furthermore, that the negroes of that State were free to vote for whom they pleased. This man's name was Parks and he had a recommendation from the people for whom he worked while in the South, stating that he and his family were honest and trustworthy, and good workers.

Mr. Parks stated that the wages of farm hands in North Carolina was $12 per month for the whole year, with a house turnished free of rent, and the money was generally paid in advance. Mr. Parks also said the pripeof corn was 60 cents per bushel, wheat $1.10. He seemed to be somewhat discouraged and said that he should not advise anv more of his friends to come to Indiana he said he disposed of his property to pay his fare here, which was considerably more than a hundred dollars. The family of Mr. Park, with the exception of his son, who had hired to work for $S per month, were at some church in Terre Haute. They had been induced to come to Indiana by some of their friends who had settled near Greencastle.

A JOYFUL ANNOUNCEMENT suffering millions is (the glad tidings that at last a certain cure for for piles has been discovered. 500.000 persons who have used Dr. Silsbee's "Anakesis," pronounce it infallible. Doctors of all medical schools prescribe it in practice empirics and nostrum venders counterfeit and imitate it, and all, without exception, admit that it is entitled to the natne of "Medical Miracle." Nothing in medicine is more simple, rational, prompt and certain. It is not an accidental blunder of inexperience, but the scientific solution of a most difficult problem, by an accomplished physicians ot 40 years, practice and study. Anakesis" is a happy combination of a soothing poultice, supporting instrument and curative medicne. It alleviates at once the most excruciating pain it holds up raw, sensitive tumors, and by firm, con tinued pressure and medication applied at the swollen veins is able to cure the mo6t inveterate cases of blind or bleedings piles. The inventor of Anakesis may well be regarded as a public benefactor, and sufferers from this terrible disease will thank us for calling attention a discovery so worthy. It is not less singular that in the circular concerning Anakesis, full directions are given for preventing piles, a fact never before observed in any medicine the proprietors wished to sell. "Anakesis" is sold by druggists everywhere. Sent free on receipt of price, $1,00 per box samples gratis by P. Neustaedter & Co., Box 3346, New York, £lso manufacturers of

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. The Republican members of the Senate have concluded that the continued discussion of the Fit* John Porter bill will promote their interests and will not aid the rumored intention to postpone action on it till the next session of congress.

The following dispatch was sent by De Lesseps to Paris yesterday: "The President's message assures the political security of the canal."

The President sent to the Senate, yesterday, a message transmitting a report from the Secretary of the Interior, containing an agreement signed by the ohirfa and head men of the Ute Indians now in Washington. The President earnestly recommends it to Congreaa for favorable consideration and appropriate action.

GETTING FINED $13 JUST FOR TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Last night abbut 9 o'clock somewhat of a commotion was caused on Main-st. by a man beating his wife. A crowd soon gathered but the matter was finallv settled and the beating cam: to an end The man proveed to be Thos. J. Cane, a former railroader. The womans story is that she married Cane about four years ago and only three months after the marriage she ruffered a terrible beating a his hands. They then seperated and lived apart for 18 month*. She says she is in perpetual fear of her husband and more than once has appealed to the police for protection. After the occurrence on the street she went to ber mother's ho'tr.e on Second street, near Ohio. Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning she was aroused by her husband demanding admittance. She refused him entrance and he then threatened in solemn tones to shoot himself if she did not let him in. From this latter threat it would be inferred that he had a pistol, and entrance was refused him even in stronger terms than at first. Cane then fired a shot in the air to let his wife know that hi was even then engaged in the work of committing suicide. The wife knew better, however, and awaited the natnral course of eventf. Alter firing the shot it suddenly flashed across the mind of Cane the police

hearing the shot would bear down upon him so he beat a retreat to the St. Clair House and secured rooms for the rest of the morning, the police scented the would-be suicide. Tq the hotel and nabbed him just as he was about to retire. For his little esapade. Cane was fined $13 before Justice Qjiigley this morning. The next time he wishes to commit suicide he will go about it in more scientific shape and not bring the whole police force down upon him and get fined $13 in the bargain.

A MATRIMONIAL SENSATION Special to the Indianapolis Sentinel: SEYMOUR, Ind.—March 9.—Nellie Roseberrv. a brilliant (little lassie of this city, was the sweet heart of Pierson Bow ers, an O. & M. brakeman, and Harry Deputy, and her aunt, with whom she lived, was her guardian, and refused to allow the girl to marry Deputv, but told her she must be the wife of Bowers, to which 6he consented, and the wedding was set for to-day. Yesterday afternpon Deputy went to Brownstown, and procured a license the girl quietly abandoned her aunt's home late last evening and met Deputy at the residence of Gus Whitney, where Rev, Albert Ogle was in readiness, and in less than a twinkling made them man and wife. Just an the knot had been tied, Bowers came rushing in to object, but alas, it was too. late.

Late this afternoon Cash Coleman, a printer, was arrested for perjury, in making affidavit that the girl was "of lawful age, and is now undergoing a preliminary examination.
