BY GOVEKNOB PORTER AT NORMAL HALL-

A" Auspicious of a Series of Lectures by Various Parties at the Same Plact-

Saturday night Governor Albert Gk 'Porter delivered the first of a scries of lectures to be given in the Normal School building every other Saturday night. The large assembly room was filled to overflowing with the best citizens, in spite of the mist and rain. After a few remarks relative to the course of lectures of which this was the thst, President Brown introduced Governor Porter, who was hailed with a storm of applause. We give a good part of the subject matter of his lecture, but it is impossible to transfer to paper the happy anecdote, and the pleasant and easy delivery which characterized the Governor's speech well. There is nothing of tbe formal address about Governor Porter. Tho lecture was delivered rather inthccareleesandsmiliog style of a good conversationalist. It possessed one grout merit, briefness but ilie intelligent and sympathetic audience was fain to wish it had been longer. As will be noticed, it goes no further than the first Governor of Indiana, Jonathan Jennings.

I feel the great

est pleasure to-night in addressing you, for an audience of Hoosiers can sympathize with my subject. The time will come when Indiana's ten millions of inhabitants will seek eagerly for such traC08 I shall present to you to-night of "Indiana in its dawn." They will endeavor discover those things in the character of Indiana's early inhabitants, which may have presaged her futuro greatness

kchildhood

fovernor,

she had for a guar

dian a 'man worthy of the great charge intrusted to his keeping. William Henry Harrison was the first Governor of Indiana Territory. He was first our

and afterwards our President.

might as well relate to you at thts point, the circumstance by which President Harrison is said to hail,from Ohio, instead of Indiana. lie had married a lady whose maiden name was Siinms. Her father posseted a very large amount of property in Ohio, somewhere near Cincinnati Well, as you know, all fathers-in-law must die at some time, and Mr. Simms was not an exception. Harrison's wife lulling heir to a large amount of her father's property, it became necessary for him to visit Cincinnati. The business visit was prolonged by necessity, and consequently though Governor Harrison hails from Indiana, President Harrison comes from Ohio, he residing there at the time of his election to the Presidency. Harrison was appointed governor of the North-West Territory by President Jefferson General Harrison was Governor before he had any militarycelebrity at all. He was appointed solely on account of the influence of his family, and because he was tho son of Ben Harrison, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. But Harrison was a soldier in feeling though not in experience. The old revolutionary spirit raukled in his breast and he longed for a means by which to give it vent. The opportunity was not long in presenting itself. In 1812 he resigned the governorship in order to take the command of an army preparing against the Indians.

Who has not, heard of the battle of Tippecanoe? No Iloosier dare say that it is forgotten It was the last glorious stand made by the Indian proprietors of this great and" feitiie country against the encroachments of civilization. But Tccumseh and his brothe.% the prophet, have passed away. Our soldiers 110 longer fight the noblo Indian—thty fight simply red-skins who arc cut throat renegades. The primitive inhabitants of America were not the uncivilized savages •which they are generally described as being. They were intelligent and honorable, having many of the attributes of thought and action ascribed to civilization in its highest types. It was not a mere slaughter of Bavages that General Harrison undertook. It was a terrible relentless struggle with an intelligent,* brave and wily foe, who had tbe advantage of being upon his native heath. The heroes of Tippecanoe deserve honorable and grateful mention upon the pages of history.

In speaking of Tippecanoe, I will refer to Harrison once more. Did any of this audience live in the state of Indiana, about forty years ago If so, then there is no need of reminding him of the victorious slogaa, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." It tore the Whig party into power on the crest of the highest wave, with Governor Harrison as President. Let us veale Harrison at Tippecanoe. It is the resting place of many a hero. I ought not to pass over Harrison's career without mentioning John Gibson. Gibson was the Governor's secretary^ and after Harrison received his appointment, the exercise of tbe fuaction of the office devolved upon Gibson the first year, in the absence of Harrison. bo practically speaking, John Gibson was the first governor o» Indiana Territory. And he was a man well worthy of the distinction. After Harrison resigned, in 1817, President Madison appointed Thomas Posey to succced him. Posey was a Virginian.

It seems as if all of the old Indiana families came from Virginia. Posey hailed from that state, and the father of General Harrison was a delegate from Virginia to the Constitutional Congress. By tie way, the public to-day, seems to know but little.of Senator Ben Harrison. Our Senator Harrison is generally spoken of wr

of as the .grandson of 'William Henry Harrison, thus leaving a sort of lost link

in the connection. But it would be

greater honor in my esjlmation to be the son of Scott Harrison, than to be the grandson of President Harrison. Sena- for seventeen weeks, tor Harrison's father was a man of the unstintedly.

very highest mental and moral endowments ne was a thorough gentleman. His demeanor was too quiet to attract attention yet he held the unlimited esteem of all who knew him. He was a member of Congress Tor several terms, and the family honor was not tarnished while in his keeping.

Senator Ben Ilarriaon has probably better American blood in him than any other in tbe country. His great-giand-father was ft aiec&bcr of th© Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, his grand-father became President, and his father, Scott Harrison, was a member of congress, and Benjamin is a United States Senator— •'and the end is not yet."

But we have almost fergoten Pcsey. He was the second Governor of Indiana Territory. I have often seen his portrait, which represents him as a gentleman of the finest appearance and gentility. When he first left his native state he took up bis residence in Kentucky. There he was elected state senator, and held many other honorable positions. He was at one time, United States Senator from Louisiana. Posey was not brilliant as a Governor, but he was ao efficient and faithful officer. When he retired, the Legislature tendered him a vote of thanks for his faithful discharge of duty Posey left office in 1810.

Jonathan Jenning" was probably the best known of all of the early Indiana politicians. His name will ever be rememlwred as the first Governor of this State, but to the hardy Hoosiers of 65 years ago, the name oi Jennings carried greater significance with it than that of Governor. He was, without doubt, the most popular man in the Territory. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and came to Indiana by way of the Ohio river on a Hat boat. A man of singular beauty and strength, he had also wonderful conversational and social powers. All who came within his sphere were facinatol by his bearing.

He could do a days' work in the harvest

field equal to, if not b^ter than the best. Was there a"barn raising," Jennings was the leader in work and sport

We find him employed as a clerk under Gov. Harrison at a salary of $1.50 per day. By this it may be interred that he was a poor man. But political preferment was awaiting him and he did not stay long as the clerk of a man who was afterwards his deputy. Jonathan Jennings was elected as as a representative of Indiana Territory in the United States congress. While there his first duty was always the interests of his constituents. Jennings was a great letter writer and there was hardly a family in Indiana Territory but what receivoi one or more letters from him.

The people had purchased lands for which they were unable to pay, and the efforts of Jennings in their behalf brought him into closer relationship with them than any public officer of Indiana ever has been, before or since.

This untiring fidelity to the people's interests was not without its fruits. While Jcnning3 was in Washington exercising the duties of his office, tbe Territory at home was preparing for a gnat change. A constitutional coventiou was elected and organized to draft a constitution for the new state. Think you that Jennings was absent from the mind of the people during this time? No. lie was elected a member the convention and was its chairman Our constitution bears the imprint to-day of his great mind and decided character. Slavery in the new state constitution was prohibited by the efforts of Jennings. YVliat might have been the result upon the history of thiscouniry if Indiana had been a slave state Indiana a slave fctate, it would have been easy to spread the obnoxious system to Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and further west, and probably east. Jonathan Jennings deserves gratcfnl remembrance from the whole country for his efforts in behalf of freedom.

The state of Indiana was now organized It had a constitution, and all it wanted further was a Governor. Did the people turn to Harrison to tike charge of the infant state Did they call on Posey No. Jonathan Jennings was'he people's man, and the great General Harrison took second|place,as Lieutenent Governor.

During Jennings first term for Governor be received an appointment from the President as a commissioner to negotiate with the Indians for cer'taiu lands, of which, I think. Terre Haute is now a part.

When Jennings returned from his mission, lie found a usurper in the Gubernatorial chair. The Lieutenent Governor, General Harrison, had been.pursuadcd by his friends that Jennings had virtually vacated the office of Governor, and as tbe Lieutenant ,Harrisfm"had succeeded to the office. The chief advantage which Harrison had in the contest which seem eminent was that of possesion. Wheu Jennings returned' he found that the seal of state without which no business could be transacted, was in the possession of Harrison, who was with it exeicising the functions of Govornor Jenning's answer to Harrison's claim was forcible and decisive. Walking into tbe room where Harrison sat, he qaietly placed his hand upon the seal of state, conveyed it to his pocket, and straightway drafted his annual message to the legislature. TLe senate immediately recognized his title as Governor, but the house appointed a committee to investigate the matter that committee has never reported Harrison was so mortified by the i*sue, that he immediately resigned bis position as Lieutenant Governor, and never afterwards appeared in the history of he state,

During the second term of Governor Jennings, he was re-elected to Congress. Resigning the governorship, after nearly six years of service, he again entered Washington as the representative of Hoosierdom. Jennings served in the latter capacity until 1881, when he was defeated for\ re-election by the efforts of his own friends. While in Washington, he drank strongly, and to save his lite, his friends defeated him for the re-election to an office which would carry him back to the scene of his old temptations. This proved a blessing for him. The rest of his life was passed in quiet and peace.

To-day his grave is unmarked, and if I should my next message, to the legislature, as governor recommend that an appropriation be given to mark the spot tohere Indiana's first Governor rests, I Lope I will have the support of this audience.

HOGS—Receipts,5,832 head shipments, 140 head. The market opened firm, with 3,600 head and Monday's prices well maintained on all grades, exeept common and light mixed packing,* decline of 5 to 10 cents, though the yards were cleared early In the day, but unexpected arrivals continued to come throughout the day, swelling the receipts almost double as compared with tbe eaily opening, and many lots coming from quite a distance. As to the average quality we cannot speak very favorably. Out of sixteen cars of tbe I. B. & W., we failed to find one single load in the whole train, being almost entirely composed of young hogs, poorly fattened, and which is a fair representation of the general offerings today. Kingan & Co. deserve much credit for this days' work. They purchased all the offerings ia the forepart of tbe day, and their purchases amounted to over 4,000 head. Buyers for Eastern account operated sparingly, owing to unfavorable advices from that quarter, prices ruling here too high for the Kastern markets. The market closed with a few hoss left unsold, though the outlook Is favorable. We quote: Philadelphia and lard hogs $6 50@6 65

The generpi market was slow but steady, though the ol&rings, as a rule, were such as would naturally cause an indifferent feeling in most any stage of the market nothing scarcely offered that we rate as good and nothing prime. However, Kingan fc Co. bought a fine load of batchers' stock, weighing 1,360 pounds average, at $5.50, this being the highest price paid for butchers' stock for months, and it Is well to say that common grades are excessive, and 15 to 25 cents lower. There is a strong demand for good feeders. Several buyers arc on the market for this cluss of stock at full prices. We quote.

A smile played across Mr. Keffer's expressive face and his eyes twinkled merrily as he replied in the affirmative. I will not refuse to state my experience with it, and you may use it as you think best Four years a«o I sprained one of my ankles, an accident which, as you are aware, entails much suffering and sometimes leaves the limb in a condition to remind one frequently of the old hurt. Unfortunately this result ensued. Whenever the weather became damp or my system absorbed the slightest cold my ankles pained me. This went on at intervals for over three years, and I could not obtain relief. Last winter 1 applied St. Jacobs Oil and it completely cured me. I have not since felt a return of the pain.
