' THURSDAY, : : MAY 20, 1875. | The delegation of Indians who are , on their way to Washington to negotiate the sale of the Black Hills region to the United States government, arrived in Chicago on Thursday last in charge of Col. H. W. Binouax of the United States army. j, j • A desperate state of affairs is existing In the coal mining region of Pennsylvania In some localities violence has been resorted to, and at Wilkesbarre a sheriff’s posse was fired upon by the miners who kept them at bay all night. Business seems to be paralyzed, and great excitement prevails. The Government is making a general raid upon the illicit whisky distillers of the country, and a vast amount of rascality has been unearthed in nearly all the large cities of the Union, by which the government has been defrauded of large amounts. The work still goee on, and arrests are being made.-daily. i The ninth annual convention of the Grand Army of the Republic, was in session at Chicago during several days of last week, and concluded its labors i on Friday. The proceedings terming- j j ted with a competitive drill on the lake j front. Governor Hartranft, of} Pennsylvania, was elected commander- j in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, for the coming year. J At last an end to the Lug, tedious days of taking testimony In the Tiltox-Beecheb trial has been reached, and on Thurs- j day last counsel announced that no j more witnesses would be called, and ; that they rested the ease. Since our last mention of the case, but little additional testiinofvy has l»een adduced which would have an important faring upon the case, and when the announcement was made th&t the evidence had all beets taken, many were surprised at the sudden termination of the trial. Relics of the great trial are. in demand, and. as a consequence, the judge's gavel and the Bible upon which the witnesses w ere sworn, were stolen from the court room. At the suggestion of Evarts. the court adjourned until yesterday, when the pleading will commence. It is thought that this will take about ten days, when the jury w ill retire and .consider what the verdict ... shall be. '' The last legislature of this state passsed many new laws and amended a great many of those already on the stat- . ute books, but as the laws in question, have not beep distributed to the proper 4 officers, many are at a.loss to know what really is law and what is not. Below we give the law in full ip regard to the killing of wolves and foxes. Rlt»-Tibx 1. Be It ene-lnl by the limns!

We have trine and again expressed the opinion that a reform in our manner of selecting candidates for ail the minor offices in the gift of the people , cannot Ik- accomplished until the masses of the sturdy yeomanry of theland can be brought to a realization of the fact that they are mere tools in the hands of certain old stagers in political maneuvering who use t hem for a purpose, and so delude them into the belief that they really had something to do in bringing about the results of a convention —.county or otherwise. In every county in this state, and every other state in the Union for that matter, there are certain men who force themselves into the leadership of their respective parties, anti these~so manipulate the machinery of the county conventions that it is next to impossible to secure the nomination of any one who is not looked upon w ith favor by themselves. They put the machinery j 1 in motion, keeping their hands upon ’ the lever by which it is moved, and j, then call in the dear people e» matte to participate in the deliberations of the convention, chuckling within their , sleeves at the gullibility of those, who, by every principle of our free institu- j tions, should be the actual leaders in movements. As long as the people are willing to suffer themselves to be used in this manner by the professed , politicians, just that long will our j offices be filled by men who hang like , leeches to the public crib, and who are - pampered into the belief that the office , is theirs as an inheritance.

Written for the Estewbise Weather Propkedee. There are many things between heaven and earth that our philosophy don’t dream of, and sd there in ay be for all we know, a law governing the changes of the weather on our globe; but no human being has discovered it yet. No man of science, no astronomer will ever pretend to foretell the changes of the weather, and all the prophecies in the almanacs are simply humbugs. But still there are many persons who put the strongest faith in them, while others employ the moon as their weather prophet. When the new moon hia3 its belly—that is the convex side of its visible part—hanging down toward the earth, they will predict a rainy month, and when the weather is very cold, or rajn Is needed, they patiently and confidently wait for the full moon to bring on a change for the better; or they will not plant their potatoes before a certain phase of the moon takes place. Now the moon, as a faithful and pleasant companion of our mother earth, is certainly entitled to our full respect and admiration, and we don’t blame people, especially lovers, for composing odes to its praise, since love and moonshine, as the saying is, constitute the principal part of their diet. But sorry as we are. we have to divest the old fellow of some of his glory, for he is tuf poor a weather prophet as the. bluebirds were which made their untimely appearance the first warm days |of this year. Careful observations continuftl through a long series of years. ! by some of the best astronomers, show ! that only in a v ery small minority of ; cases, are the changes jot the moon ac- | coinpanied by changes in the weather. An eternal, never-failing, law rules i (he phases and constellations of the j moon and the other stars, anti astrbn- ; oniers can predict them with the greatest accuracy; not by Iguess, but by a strict mathematical Calculation based upon certain undeniable facts. They can tell you to a second when the moon will lie full, whelk It will be eclipsed, in w liat shape it will appear at a certain time. On the other hand there is a charming irregularity in the changes of the weather, a fact which the experience of this year proves satisfactorily to the dullest minds. The moon has, certainly some iifthiehre upon our globe. It is for instance the cause of the tides of the ocean, but ho|r its phases should govern the weather, or how,'its feeble light, which it, like the earth, borrows from .the sun, should favor or retard tic growth of plants, is hard to conceive. Much less comprehensible it is how other planets, or fixed stars, should haije anything to do with the weather, or, worse than all. with social and political affairs on out earth. The idea of Venus or tlnpiiey being the ruling planet of a certain month, or the talk at Hint eclipses of the sun and moon, and the appearance of a harmless comet Iteing a sure sign of pestilence and bloody wars, is a relic of the. dark centuries of the past w hen ignorance ami superstition were flourishing; when the noble science of astronomy was misused-for fortune telling ftv deceived ~or deceiving men. and when th • few learnetl men who knew-more than Tom. Dick aud llarry. were suspected of being in alliance with his satanic majesty. The moral of this is; plant your potatoes when you get ready, and for the rest, trust in Him who alone can make them grow. And if it don’t satisfy your inquisitive mind to know that we will have lots of weather before next year, don’t consult your almanac, for. in nine cases out of ten, it will tell you a lie; but look for the office of the weather clerk, who is very apt to knowall the particulars of the programme, 1 M Effects ot ons Vots.

Elkhart County Im. Goshen wants a bill poster. The measles are prevailing at War karusa. The growing wheat is looking well in the vicinity says the Sun. In a ride arornid that city the editor of the Goshen Democrat saw 36 dwellings in course of erection. Circuit Court convened on last Monday in Goshen, and as there are not so many- cases on the docket as usual, it is thought that all will be disposed of at this term of court. The Goshen Democrat wants the city officials to separate the duties of street commissioner from those of city marshal, claiming that hundreds of dollars could be saved in the operation. The Elkhart county agricultural society have sold their old fair ground to Mr. Henry Miltonberger for the sum of *6OO, and will apply the proceeds towards fitting up their iftiw grounds on the Benton road. A hbrse fair will be held at the latter placemen the 22d, 23d, and 24th of June. Dr. E. W. 11. Ellis, Ambrose Blunt and David Moury, composed the committee who examined applicants for admission to the naval academy from this district and which met in Goshen for that purpose on Thursday last. Dr. M, M. Latta conducted the medical' examination. We have not learned the result of the examination^ A dispatch to the Inter-Ocean, dated Elkhart. May 18th, says that two sneak thieves entered the dwelling of Col. A. M. Tucker, at that place,and proceeded to ransack the premises. After securing a few notions, they became alaruieil and lied. Tlicy were pursued by an officer who finally captured them, after shooting one of them in the foot. In default of 82,000 bail each, they were lodged in jail. Mr. James Alford, of Elkhart county has had some narrow escapes from death within the bust few months. Last fall he lost part of his right hand by having it caught in aAhreshing machine. A short time since, be narrowly esca|kil being killed by the caving in of a cistern, and a few hours later he accidentally discharged a gunin his hands, the ball passing but a few s es from liis head. ; ; The Goshen Timet says that “the first electiondkir municipal officers under the new city government of' Elkhart occurred on Tuesday; Two tickets were in the field—one called the citizen’s ticket, headed by J aim Me Naughtbh, and the other the people’s ticket, beaded by 11. C. Wright, for mayor, both democrats. The Wright, ticket—which, by the way, was the wrong one—xvas elected, excepting marshal i and four out of the twelve councilmen.’’ Fro* Warsaw. “ Peace reigns in Warsaw." Work lias been resumed on the nfw cemetery. Our new city has not yet put on its i beautiful garments. The first mosquito of the season presented his bill to Roystou who refused to respond. j There are more tramps, dead beats, and idle men in find around this city than via*.ever before known. It is supposed and even predicted that early potatoes will not make their aj>pearance in the market lief ore dog days. Zimmerman has moved the Union , office to his new quartets onNortli Buffalo street. Frank must bit making money. jSeveral prominent Odd Fellows, both of Lake City and Kosciusko Lodges are at Indianapolis attending the semi-an- , nual session of the Grand Lodge. A man who preaches morality or causelessly finds fault With his neighbors. should treat his mother-in-law with that respect due her position. Our city fathers or the proprietors of the fair grounds should at once proceed to purge floral ball, arfbst and bring to punishment those who visit it for indecent practices. John B. Xyo is the king groceryman of the city, and June Bod man is his prime minister. A business of fifty thousand dollars is the annua,} work of this establishment Neither the pump nor the handle was out of n*i»air week. The items were duly prepared, bnt alas! they were nut put in the postoflice, hence the Milford sucker lost no scales. “Still waters run deep" was performed at the Opera Ilall on Wednesday eveniug by “ Home talent” to a good audience; but it is reported thatallthe fun-was behind the curtains. Williams & Hoasler have purchased the Fort Wayne Daily Gazette, aud will take possession on the Ist at July. What disposition will be made of the Indianian is not now known. There is no town of equal size or any one that does the business that is done in Warsaw, that can boast of a less number of failures or that can show a greater increase of solid wealth. gp A few radishes, slender as a red cord, have made their appearance in the market. Fie plant and Wjjpmsin onions of insignificant proportlfite and exalted prices, beg for a change of ownership. There are nine applicants for the appointment of county superintendent, and seven townsliips yet to hear from. This is a grand ipsh for a small later. The superintendent has to stand a good many cuss words, besides being the subject of censure. Pitch in gentlemen, one of you will get the *tater. Eggleston, the bom dentist of the city, moved his household goods from Phoenix block to the second story of Hetfield’s grocery, in a manner, perhaps, never before attempted. He stnumfted a side track on a level with th jpfeeond story windows, then wheel#S%is goods from his old to his new quarters. Eggleston is a genius equal to any aaawaaaaPHhmHßtotafSw cMicrgriivT.

Does One-i understand? PUMPHANDLE. Prow Goshen. jCircuit court set Monday, May 17th. Elkhart, as usual, is sending in her delegates. Who take back seats, traitors or patriots, when such men as Ben. Hill,.of Georgia, are elected to congress ? V The weather continues cold and disagreeable. which is not in the least favorable for ice cream vendors and ice packers. Goshen has a granger store somewhere in its suburbs where farmers can get nutmegs at reduced prices, by leaving their orders for a half bushel or more at a time. It should receive a liberal patronage. We young man expatiating upon the merits of a plow the other day. A prominent business man of Goshen figured quite conspicuously among his auditors, which excited our curiosity as to whether? he was a granger. or only anticipate^becomiug —a candidate. A competitive examination of candidates for the appointment to the cadetship in the Naval Academy at Annap-; olis was held in Goshen on the 13th and 14th insts. The examining committee consisted of Profs. Blunt and MoUry, and Prs. Ellis and Latta. Quite a number of the ambitious youths of the district presented themselves for examination, but we have not learned who was the fortunate one. Mr. LaPorte Ileefner and Miss Jennie Thomas were united in matrimony at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. W. A. Thomas, on Wednesday, the 12th inst. There were quite a number of distinguished guests from abroad. Among the number. J. E. Neff, secret:?-, ry of state. The happy pair took the eastern bound train in the evening, and will be absent a couple of weeks, when they will no doubt make Goshen their permanent home. We cannot imagine what Native could be doing over “behint”' Syracuse on the Sabbath day, though we, know 1 the lake affords an abundance of fish, and we suppose they can be caught as kell on the Sabbath as any other day. We could not have been induced to give utterance to the above if we had not felt that it was absolutely necessary for some one to say something for Native's benefit. Occasional. . : Hew Paris Correapondence. Nkw Pakis, May 17th, 18-73. Weather still cold and vegetation backward. Wonder if “Native" was fishing back of Syracuse on that Sunday that he complains of being so damp in that 10-1 1 cality? Something was wrong with the Puraphandle hist week, perhaps the difficulty lies in the sucker, or else the spout was stopped up. These nice evenings have brought about some more love making over the gate, but it comes so handy that we pass it by without any harsh criticism. We have t wo would-be meat markets in this place, and we get meat at* ut once a week. Can't some one else start in that business, and then we can do without altogether. •We are ghul to see that “ Occasional" of Goshen has wakened up again, and hope in the future that the occasion may be more frequent^but deal gently with the Pumphandle, for that is a complicated piece of machinery. Tlh? last few days of fair weather have put quite a .change on the countenances of the farmers, and the preparing of ground for corn planting is being rapidly pushed forward, and if this week is favorable, there will be a great deal of plant ingdone here, especially on sandy soil. I have beard folks complain that they did not have measles' enough to go around their whole family at a time, hence some would escape that epidemic, but it is not the ease here at this time, for we are all well supplied and could afford to let some out to our neighbors, if any of them stand in need. Anonymous. Hardscrabble Items; Mu. Editor:— Thinking probably •you would like to hear from this corner of the globe, I will send you a few items, and if you desire you can insert them in your valuable paper. The wheat in this vicinity looks very fluttering at present. - Mr. Ira Boomershine is preparing to build a good substantial frame dwelling the coming summer. would like to know whether Pit will be a squatter or a pre-emptor if he .should take up that claim over in Benton. The fanners are somewhat discouraged about the prospects of planting corn. The weather being so wet that they cannot get their plowing done. We attended a singing school at Ott's school house last Friday evening, given by »%*,* and to see him open that “fly trap” of his, tickled the girls all over. There has been quite a number of new buildings gone np in this vicinity within the last year that adds ranch to the appearance of this part of our beautiful county. The frogs of this-vicinity give a concert every night. No use for Wilson & Ckarpie to try to sell organs up here as long as we can hear the melodious strains of the frog. The young folks tripped the fantastic toe on Saturday evening last at the residence of Ben. Stiver. We understand that the bays from “Ouse” were over. I Christ furnished the mimic. A son of Daniel Boomershine, of Pierceton, Kosciusko county, and grandson of Simon Boomershine, of this vi-

• einity, was severely beaten by one of his school-mates not long since, from the effects of which he died, and was buried on last Saturday. We hardly think yonr. agent over in Benton does his duty, or he would surely try and secure some of the valuable job work that we saw executed on the post office door in that place. I should like to have a sac simile to send to you Mr. Editor, I think you would order a cut immediately. As our last legislature transferred the election of county school superintendent from the township trustees to the county commissioners, it will devolve upon the next “ honorable board," that meets in June, to elect some one to the responsible position. We understand there are several candidates for the position, among them, the present incumbent —Prof. D. Moury —and we unqualifiedly give him our preference. There has been no man in that position who has done as much to work up a system of education in this county as the person of whom I spe:ik. There ( have been a few to oppose him sis a natural consequence, as there is in any good work. We think Mr. Moury possesses all the requirements to fill the position. There never was a new branch of enterprise brought about unless there were some to oppose it, and it takes a man with an iron will, and firm determination, to ctyrv it out. If such had npt been the case, Fulton would have given up his system of ! steam boatAHowe his system of sewing machines, and Field and Morse the system of the electric telegraph. But such men are public benefactors, and ’ their glories are so much the greater for pushing their work to a successful completion. It will be the same with our present superintendent Tli</e who abuse and find fault with hid 1 system of education now, will be the loudest in praise of it when 5 they see the i great amount of good it will work out in our common school system. Stick In Tiie Mud. ij The storm of Tuesday and Wednesday of last week was very disastrous dn its effects upon vessels upon lake Michigan. Thg scow D. G. Wright, went ashore about ten miles north of South Haven, Mich., on the night of the llth, and all of the crew—six in number—are supposed to be lost. Several bodies have already been recovered. Mishaps to other vessels have been reported, but none so serious as the loss of the Wright and,her crew. X SYRACUSE STREET MARKETS.
