Subscriptions and Arrearages '4

The attention of all person? receiving the Oazeite is directed to the IHWB relating •to newspapers and subscribers which we publish herewith. There are, however on the Gazette's list of subscribers, It is to be hoptd, no pertocs who will not promptly respond to our just and lawful request for money due, as sot forth ip what follows: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publishers may ronitnue to send them until all arrearages are paid 2. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed, they are field respon.t-.blc until they have settled their bills, and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publishers, and the papers are sem to the former direction, they are held responsible. 6. The courts have decided that "refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of lnten lional fraud.' 6. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it, whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber. 7. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end of their time,,if they do not wish to amtinne taking it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it On, and the,subscribers will be responsible until an express nottcc, with payment of all arrears is sent to the publisher.

A later one, not at ail pieasant, isof aeolony of Jackdaws* who took possession oj? & spire at Hew College, Oxford. Their songs did not please the worshippers in the chapel, *bo vowed vengeance on tbe birds anal their young broods. The entrance was wailed up, and the daws rather than forsake their joung suffered themselves to be walled in. The birds' cries continued tor some days, growing fainter until tbey ceased. On the day when a dead silence reigned in tbe spire the congregation of New College chapel sang a psalm, "Yea, the sparrow Bath fouad her an house, and the swallow, a nest where she may lay her young even by thy altars, O Lord of hosts." Jackdaws are not mentioned in the text and the omission was the excuse tound for cruelity.

GENERAL 8K0BELEFF. The great Russian general who now lies dead in Moscow, bad, as all great men have had, a mors than ordinary mother, from whom be derived liis disposition and intellectual trails. She was of a practical but lofty mind. The family was poor and boasted no long ancestral line, but by her torce of character and accomplishments became so great that the noblest families in Russia were proud of an alliance with it. Mme. Skobelcffused to say to her children: "If you are not truthful, you will be contemptible. But if you elvct to be truthful, you bind your selves over to act like heroes in small things and in great," and an incident in the life of ibe great general shows what a wonderful power her teaching exerted upon her afterwards illuftious son

He had in his lite to tell diplomatic falsehoods, but tbey stuck in his throat, and nearly choked him. On one oc casion be boldly told a lie—or lather a bundle of lies. His mendacity was to veil tbe scheme of a campaign on which tremendous issues depended. When the person whom be was deceiving rose to quit him, he insisted on seeing him to his carriage. On his way out, tbe General stopped short and said: ''You look very honest, and you are a person of breeding. If jou suspected the importance Of some questions you have been asking you would have cut your right hand off rather than put them." He then recapitulated them,, and added, All my answers on these points are lies. I can'1 bear the feeling of lying to you. You mayguess tbe the truth from this. I place mv secret at your mercy, and am sure you will not give me a cause to regret doing it."

A VAIN and foolish attempt is being made in certain quarters to discredit the efforts made by Senator Voorbees in behalf oflhe soldiers. It is noticeable tbat jhese efforts are mainly confined to soldiers of the Peirce type, who hold that in their securing office all the recognition needed has been accorded to the soldiery. This istrue of the individuals who are firing their envenomed shafts at thd distinguished senior Senator from lnd. who has very justly endeared himself to theuniQn soldiers of Indiana in whose behalf h$ has worked unremittingly and so iar witb great success. Backing up these individual fault-finders, come now certain papers which proolaim as a divine doctrine that too much has already been done for the soldiers who fought for the union and tbat tbey must hereafter take back seats and be content with what they have already received.

Now all these persons and papers make a tremendous onslaught on Senator Voorbees and in order to do it are driven to the miserable and paltry subterfuge of charging him with tbe derelictions of tbe former sergcant-at-arms of tbe Senate one Richard J. Bright, over whose actions tienator Vodrhees had precisely the same control as any other senator, no less and nO|, more. They can not say that Senator Voorhees did less than his duty but they try to load him with whatever sins of omission or commis.ion they are able to lay at the door of Dick Bright, whose conduct our Senator is no more responsible for than he to for the antics of the man in the moon, supposing there is a man there ana that he is given to antics. Senator Voorhees, without any ostentation or loud blowing of trumpets, as his adversaries are constantly doing, has done more as a Senator fQr the soldiers, collectively and individually, tLan any Republican Senator 6r Representative from Indiana, This tbe soldiers know. They have read his speeches, they know his votes and have been the gratified beneficiaries of the results of the just and righteom legislation passed largely by his efforts. It is too^ late now to attempt to (mirck the fame of Senator Voorbees. If his detractors wish to belittle his efforts by comparison tbey can best accomplish it, not by vituperation or slander, but by showing themselves more honest snd more sinoere friends of the Boldiers than he baa been.

1 TEE JUDICIAL CONTEST. The judicial convention at S&llivan yesterday was what may be juitly termed an animated one. The forces were se evenly divided and the friends of each were so Jealous in their partisanship that the convention came to a deedloek at the very beginning. In fact there was no convention all day, there-being two sets ot officers throughout. This».however, came to an end by the evening session which was as harmonious am) as friendly as that of the afternoon had been discordant and acrimonious. Neither side being willing to agrees with the other on a method of choosing a chairman, they agreed to disagree andi by a mutual understanding among aH tbe delegates tbe evening session was presided over jointly by W.T. Bcauchampand David Crawleyt the chairmen respectively of the Vigo and Sullivan committees. That made them joint presiding officers on an explicit understanding that no question should be put to the convention which either one would have failed to put had he been sole president. This gave the convention a perfect organization and throws the sanction of regularity over its proceedings. From then on tbe convention, freed from the intrusion ot tbe noisy crowd which had been largely instrumental in fomenting strife during the afternoon, went through with its business quietly and harmoniously. It was recognized that the delegates were so divided in opinion that nothing oould be done except by compromise. And the question that then confronted them was the choice of a third man. This was canvassed and a difficulty, apparently insuperable, appeared.

There was difficulty in selecting a man that would be satisfactory to both factions and, besides, the friends of both men fell upen a very obvious idea, which it is rather singular has not been potent before in settling controversies of this kind. They said to and among themselves that they had been working for their respective candidates night and day fort vo or three months past, and it looked like putting a premium on noncommitalism and indifference, after all the work and worry, to have all their plans tumbled into chaos and a man who had done nothing walk off with the honors. Tbey labored the idea of the candidates fixing it up among themselves. There were, they said, two offices to be filled. Both weie important. Let them adjust the question. And tbey did setlle it and it was arranged very much as the Presidency and vice-Presidency of the Republic was settled in the early days by the House of Representatives. There was this difference, however, that they announced to their friends the arrangement tbat had been effected by themselves between thenrselves in a way satisfactory to themselves Then the convention, which was really much in the fix of the lover with an embarrassing riches of sweethearts, who could have been happy with either were t'other dear charmer away, ratified the determination of the question with practical unanimity.

The delegates felt and the Democrats of tbe district who have had preferences in this contest felt, not tbat they were opposed to either one but that they preferred the other. To have both is better tban was hoped for. It was a happy thought and has solved in an unexpected and in a satisfactory way a difficulty which was begining to be embarrassing.

Those individual Democrats who were for Shelton, as the writer of this article earnestly and honestly was, can find satisfaction, and eminent satisfaction too, ia the thought that a man of such large lability land sterling integrity as John W. Shelton, a scholar and a gentleman, is to fill the offloe of Prosecutor, an office, by the way, vastly moie important than has generally been supposed. Asa friend of Mr. Shelton's, and a believer in his ability, the GAZETTE has no fears but that the way in which he will fill it will demonstrate its transcendant importance.

The GAZETTE is glad these two generous rivals have been placed on the ticketThat one is the most popular which gets the most vott sand the true friends of each will vote for the other. As to the relative importance of the offices that is most important which is best filled and where McGregor sits is always the head of the table. That one of the two which shall best fill bis office—for it is a foregone conclusion that both will be elected—is McGregor, and we hope tbe generous rivaliy tbat has existed between tbe two, will be carried on for the next six years, while they are in office, each electioneering in that best and safest «nd surest way, viz: by serving with fidelity tbe people by whom tbey have been elected, and exercising a just and honorable guardianship over the important interests confided to their care.

In the name of the Democracy of Vigo County the GAZETTE thanks the delegates to the judicial convention for their splendid work yesterday. It is a ticket which will win because it ought to win.

^———1

Republican ittemptSto sow 'dissension wiD be of no- avail. Tbey hoped to bolster up their county ticket by an irreconcilable conflict at Sullivan. This result settles their fate. The Democratic conntv ticket is strengthened by it—or rather it is made invincible by it. Wkh the nominees of the party in office, we shall strengthen the party in the only way it can be or ought to be strengthened: viz by administering tbe public business faithfully, honestly and intelligently. If the GAZETTE did not think this it would not say so for it is a confounded sight pleasanter to keep a bad- man out of office tban it is to fight hkn after he is in

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. The Democratic Convention Held at the Court house on Saturday bad been anxiously looked forward to by many people for several weeks. The caudidates who were t«* have their names presented before it for nominations had a personal interest easily understood. The people at large had a decided interest because it had come to be considered that ifi tbe ticket was a good one it would in ail likelihood be elected, and it thus derived almost the importance of an election Fortunately the tax-payers and citizens generally have a just and proper appreciation of the importance of having the public business committed to the bands of safe and reliable men.

Now that the convention is over, and nearly iwo days have elapsed since the completion of its labors, it is possible to have formed an accurate opinion of the merit of the work done. The GAZETTE, though the individual preferences of its managers may not in all cases have been gratified, can, in all impoitant matters, unqualifiedly commend tbe work tbat was done. It is a strong ticket. The nominees are good and safe men. We have no tear on the score of their not performing their duty and their whole duty in the possitions to which they will be chosen, for we entertain no doubt that the people wfll ratify the work of the convention of Saturday by electing its nominees It is a ticket made up of men, each one of whom will manage the affairs of his office himself, in full view of his responsibility to tbe whole people. It can be run by no ring and manipulated by no boss. The GAZETTE is on many accounts glad that this is so. It is glad, in the first plac^ because, if it wasn't so, disagreeable as the task would be, we should have said so each day from now until November. I is glad, in tbe second place, because, if such objectionable men had been elected and had managed public affairs intfficiently aud corruptly, we should not have hesitated to say so, and it is always more disagreeable to criticisc than to commend. We are glad as citizens and tax payers for precisely the same reason that every other citizen and tax payer must be glad, viz: because efficient and honest management means lower taxes and better administration.

We regaid the nominees of Saturday's convention as giving bond in their own unimpeaehed and unimpeachable characters for their good behavior. Even it honesty was a matter of policy rather than principle these nominees have too much character to lose to do anything other than their full duty.

Two or three good tickets could have beenjnominated from the names presented, so that the convention had little latitude for blunders. But that they nominated the strong ticket tbey did is a matter of felicitation not only to Democrats but to Republicans and Nationals as well, for, being elected, they will be the officers of the whole people and not of any party.

The convention was an enthusiastic one, and the friends of each candidate were so zealous in pressing their claims that apprehensions existed of possible misunderstandings. All that, however was happily avoided and perfect harmony prevailed. The presiding officer held the convention well in hand, and among the delegates and candidates generally prevailed that spirit of unselfishness and of loyalty which found its best expression in the action of James Cox, who wouldn't permit his friends to take advantage of a technical question to press another ballot in which his chances ol success were excellent. But, waiving all questions of that kind— and it is only proper to say in this place that bis friends were right and that another ballot could have been taken—he himself moved to make the nomination of his competitor and friend unanimous and, staunch Democrat and true gentleman that he is, will do more for tbe ticket he almost went out of his way to keep off* of than if be was a candidate himself. If bis friends ever push him for office again, and tbere is no more competent man anywhere, the GAZETTE now moves to make it unanimous.

But what we started to say was that the same spirit of self sacrifice tor the sake of harmony which found its best. exemplification in his action, was measurably manifested by all the others, and the result is that the Democratic party of Vigo was never in such splendid condition as it is to-day.

It is not our purpose in this article to particularize the different candidates and dwell on their respective merits. It is a long time to the November election and there will be abundant opportunity for that sort of thing

between now and then. We can ouly new* congratulate the eonventicn and {thanks its members in the name of the party and of tbe whole commuaity for the excellent ticket it plactd in nomination—a ticket whose excellence collectively and individually will commend it to the sufiragt-a-of the people, as it certainly can command the support of this paper.

more ior tbe people and make more reputation for himself in this than in any position in which he could be placed.
