If we were called upon, we could name a time when the editor of the Bockrille Republican was a strong greenback man as any person in Terra Haute.

The Express was right when it said Mr. Iinumi Beaschamp would not &ive *p the privilege of voting the straight, unscratched Democratic ticket for any earldom on earth. jf

It is a favorite argument with some of the hard money organs when they iare hard pushed by the reason of greenback men to cry out, "you are in debt," you want to swindle somebody With rags, etc.

This shows they bavo no mertt ,in their cause as they preach it. H. R. Revelsis the colored exUnited States Senator from the State of Mis* «issippi. We publish a letter from him /written to Grant It ought to make

Morton hang his head in shame, instead of wanting to investigate the late election in that State. If Revels tells the truth, Morton ought to shout for th* thieves and scoundrels "were driuen out of office in Mississippi jat the late election.

Tus editor of the Kockville Republican has gone out of his way to make a mean ^attack on Prosecutor Kelly. ••^ff'JWhere Mr. Kelly is known, it will fall harmless. The facts in the Barton-

Kink controversy do not show Mr. Kelly to haro done a thing that should Iffij^IowR the wrath of the editor

or else publish the facts—not your opinion. If the Ledger- Standard is opposed to specie payments, unless it comes of its own accord—without injury to the industrial and commercial interests of the countrr—it is in favor of abolishing National Banks, substituting greenback currency in place thereof—if it is in favor of having the greenbacks as the only paper money of the country— sthen the Jour*jo.and it may get along filgether. Not otherwise.

THE BURTON CASE.

Wit John Burton was not Brought to Trial-A Statement from Ex-Prosocntor TealUUlt

Tkxbji Hacte, Dec. 30.

Ed. Exrasss—On my return thin afternoon, after a two week's business trip to Kansas and the West, I deem it proper to make the following statement concerning the Burton-Rink matter:

The shooting occurred during term as prosecuting attorney. Burton was immediately indicted for assault and battery with intent to kill—the highest crime for which he could be indicted until Rink's death occurred put in jail and refused bail. He was not tried upon this indictment because it was generally believed that Rink would die before the expiration of the year, when he could and would have been tried for murder, and a trial apon this indictment for assault, dee., would be a bar to a prosecution for murder. At the expiration of the year Burton's lawyers came into court and demanded bail, which the court could not refuse. They afterwards demanded a reduction of his bail tea nominal amount This the prosecutor resisted, and was sustained by the court—the court fixing the bail at about the highest amount ever required for 6uch an offense as Burton's had then become—viz., assault and battery with intent to kill.

The amount of bail was given and Burton was released from jail. At the next court the case was called for trial The defendants asked for a short continuance on the ground that they were about to make over to Rink a part of Burton's property. This continuance was granted by the prosecution, from belief, which was general, that it would be right to secure to Rink's family as much as possible of Burton's property, and would not prevent the prosecution for the crime. This transfer of property iras soon reported to have been made. The case was then peremptorily called for trial.

The defendant did not appear, but made default At the close of this term (the first day possible) a forfeiture of his bond was takon. It was not known at the time what had become of Burton, but it was afterward reported that he had enlisted in tho regular army, what ever became of the bond I never knew until after reading the controversy this afternoon on my return home. As neither the Criminal Court nor Prose* cuting Attorney has any control over a forfeited bond, saving to set aside its forfeiture, which was net done in this case during my term of office. All forfeited bonds must be sued upon in the Circuit Court, and tho Criminal Court and Prosecuting Attorney have nothing to do with the proceedings in that court Why Michael Rink or his famity never secured any more of Burton's property I do net know, as I was not one of their attorneys, and that has nothing te do with the criminal case. The indictment was not nollied daring my term of office, ...T„ R.S.TxiritA*T. ^\Ve givrTCfean?ltaT'^nnT and desire that hei lhould answer fully and plainly the following questions:

After the year %&d day had expired, after which Burton could not be tried for murder, why did you not demand and press a

trial of Burton on the in

dictment? Why was it necessary to postpone the case at all to secure Rink's family any of Burton's property, when a civil suit was pending to accomplish that result?

You say that this transfer was soon reported made. Reported how, and by whom? Was it not your duty to Know that it was made, having consented to it, and then press a trial?

Did you at this timo or at anv time erer demand, in open court, that Burton's case should be tried or set for trial?

Did you not know that Barton was to enliat in the army'* Did you agree, if he did anlist, Rink having got the property or a portion of it, that there would be no further pros ecotion?

Got-

will take back. We

roted f«r Mr. McDonald, and under the same circumttanees would do so again. We did our ulnost to defeat him but

Hendricks on tho School Question. With this population has gone a love and devotion to education a&d that love aad devotion to the cause of education has developed itself in most of the States into our system of free schools. I will not say that the free schools of our country, now at tho end ot this century, surpass tho rchocla of other couatm*. I will aot aay that they surpass the schoels of Prussia and Germany. Perhapa none of them do. But 1 say

this with great confidence, that the foundations are now laid, here ia our State of Indiana, which wilt, in my judgment before another quarter of eentury shall havo pawed away, sur past the free schools of any country ia the world. [Applause.] These schools belong to the people. They are *fceir iaheritanc*^ and theirs to guard and preserve, aad it is their daty to regard aay man aa their foe who will eadasgwr our system of free schools by bringing th«m ia*e uaaeeeesarr controveraef. {Applause.]

Aw exchange says: One of the peputar boyish sports of these times secots to be jumping. A more dangerous am«sement could not be indulged Dr. Henderson u*ed to aay that more person* were injured by this practice than aay other nrereafcv* spwt. The tudden coueussiea throws the internal parts all iato a knotty mass every tinw the umber alights, producing rupture of the abdosaiaal bait or other iatansi* tie*.

Jocbxax:

On the first day of January, 1776, just one century ago to-day, General George Washington at Cambridge Mass.. unfurled to the breeze the symbol of a nation's honor and glory. The ulterior results of that act were momentous, and the hope which arose from beneath the shades of old Harvard on that memorable mocp, one century ago, has illuminated the world and given joy to millions of human beings who direll, as a free people, beneath its folds.

On the Cth day of January, 1776. Washington wrote as follows to Joseph Reed: 'The speech (the King's) I send you. A volume of them was sent out by the Boston gentry, and, farcical enough, wo gave great joy to them without knowing or intending it for on that day (Jan. 1, 1776), the day which gave being to the new army, but before the proclamation came to hand, we had hoisted the Union Flag, in compliment to the United Colonies. But, behold it was received in Boston (at this time occupied by the British army) as a token of the deep impression tho speech had made upon us, and as a signal of submission, so we hear by a person out of Boston last night. By this time, presume, they begin to think it strange we have not tnade a formal surrender of our lines."

The flag adopted and flung to the breeze by Washington at that time was composed of thirteen stripes alternate red and white, symbolizing the thirteen revolted colonies. In one corner was the device of the British union flag namely, the cross of St George, com posed of a horizontal and perpendicular bar, and the cross of St Andrew (representing Scotland), which is in the formef an X. Benjamin J. Loosing, in answer to a communication to the Historical Magazine, in 1857, says, "that a sketch in water color of the schooner Royal Savage, one of the fleet on Lake Chatnplain, which vessel was commanded by Capt Wyakoop, of Kingston, Ulster ceunty, N. Y., and which skatch was for along time the property of General Schuyler, and endorsed in his handwriting, has, at the head of the main top-mast, a flag com posed of thirteen stripes, alternate red rl

iVlA wHni*A

and white and in the corner, where ftfclil ia,.qy national flag appear, is the British union—the crosses of St George and St Andrew.*' This authenticates previous records of tho flag.

This device was only used upon the flag of the army and navy until the September following, when the Continental Congress adopted that now iu use, as we find that in June, 1777, the Conli* nental Congress resolved "that tho flag of the thirteen united states be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a pew constellation," This was made public in September following. The stars of tho new flag represented the new constellation ot States rising in the western hemisphere the idea taken from the constellation Lyra, which, in the hands of Orpheus, signified harmony.

The blue of the lleld was taken from

the edges of the Covensntcrs' banner in Scotland, significant also of the league and covenant of the united colomea against oppression—incidentally involving the virtues of vigilsnce, perseverance and justice. The stara wero disposed in a circle, symbolizing the perpetuity of the union the ring, like the circling serpent of the Egyptians, aigni fying eternity. The thirteen stripes abowed, with the stars, the number ot the united colonies and denoted the subordination of the States to the Union, as well aa equality among them selves. The whole was a blending of tbe various flags previous to the Union flag, via: the reg flag of the army and the white ones of the floating batteries. The red color also, whieh in Roman days was the signal of defiance, denoted daring, and the white purity.

On the 1st of May, 1793, the flag was changed to ilfteon stripes, alternate red and white. Previous to the adoption of the present fia#t the naaber of stripes in tbe old one bad increased to eighteen, according to the number of States admitted into the Union. Bat on the adtsteioa of Indiana into the Uakm in 1S16, Mr. Peter Q, Voadover of New Tork offered a reeeistiou "that a committee be appoint* ed to esquire Into the expediency of altering the Sag of the United States." A eommfttoe was appointed who reported a hilt oo the Sad of January, 1817, but which was aot netod upon until tbe following GcmgMias. The fctil w*a peaeed sad signed by the ftesidettt on April 4, 1111, providing **that from aad sfier the Ith daty of {dr necxt, the flag of tho United States be thirteen stripe*, alterant* red aad white that the Union be tweaty atan, white, ia a lie* field, aad that, on Urn ndmisshm of aiaaw Stale ieto tbe Colon, one star be added to the Union of Urnfagi *adthnt*aeh adfitioa tds (Act esttu tth day of .Jalv aext meeee&ti each odmimon.'

"His wife lies in Comatose condition and net expected to live manr hoars Straight ashore off Babyloa D. C. last night in a dense fog. Her name could not be ascertained nor assistance sent her she kept up eontinuous whistling weather mild, no wind, fog still prevails."

The above item appeared in a late number of the Gazette. The Gazette, to be a success, will have to improve its nursery by the employment of a more efficient wet nurse.

Whxx Henry Clay stepped into a Lexington bark one day, and found that debts which had long troubled him had been misteriously paid, he exclaimed with emotion: "Good heavens! did ever man have such friends and such enemies as Henry Clay?" The Richmond £nquirer reports that the late Dr. Mercer, of New York, was the good angel who thus slyly paid Mr. Clay's debts. Since those days, however, our country has passed through a great revolution in customs, principals, and almost everything else an 1 now instead of one man paying another's debt, he seldom pays his own.

Pimples. Eruptions. Rough Skin. The system being put under tho influence of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft, and velvety, and being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all its glory. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimplts, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones,. or "grubs," a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where tho system is rotten with scrofulous or virulent blood poisons. The cure of these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula is, with the use of this most potent agent only a matter of time. Sold by dealers in medicines.
