Major General of the Strong Band,
Department Of Indiana.
We are curious to know whether Mar
shall County is included in the twelve
already organized; and if not, whether the
redoubtable Dr. Robt. Morris will cone
himself or send some one else when it is
thought best to organize here; and wheth,
er public notice will be given of the time
and place of meeting, or private circular
be sent to few of the faithful only, as al
indianapolis.
This Rob. Morris, l.. L. D., is the same
Nan, we believe, who has for some years
past labored under the hallucinatlon that
the Masonic fraternity ought to support
him and his family by liberal and frequent
donations for that purpose. lie seems tt
have penchant for organizing secret so
cieties of one Kind or another, especially
if thereby he can draw material aid from
the organized We think we know where
Of we affirm when NC say that this same
Rob. Morris realt=ea in he manner above
indicated, not less than one hGHdrea @n'
fifty dollars from the citizens Of this place
and not content with this, has in the most
unblushing manner begged for more and
for still more If he will for the future
turn his attention to the pursuit Of some
laudab!e enterprise instead Of trying tc
lay the foundation for future differences
and difficulties among citizens of tie same
locality, he will undoubtedly be able 70
earn an honest living for himself and fam
lily, and not again be under the necessity
of begging from the Masonic fraternity as
heretofore.
As to this Spartan Brotherhood organ
ization, we warn our readers not to 60 IN
to it. 1t is a catch, a cheat, dangerous
affair, concocted by Mo ri and friend Of
his some two years ago, for the sole pur-
pose on their part of acquiring the money
to be made by it. 1t is a secret, military
organization of an intensely bitter and u
ira partisan political character, the objects
of which now arc first to put money in the
pocket of Rob. Morris, and second, to car
~ the elections hereafter in favor Of he
gro equalityism, and this is to be done
under the special guise of patriotism anc
loyalty Let no good citizen, as he val
ues the peace of society, enter the deep
dark and damnable recesses of the curses

The New York Journal of Commerce,
in an article discussing the payment of
the national debt by subscription, claims
the paternity OF the project, and makes
some much needed comments upon the
present extravaganza of expenditure
Three hundred and fifty millions are gen
orally taken as the estimate of what our
annual current expenses will be. The
Journal says:
There is little use in attempting to pay
of the national debt, if, after the interest
is stopped, such an annual tax as the half
Of this sum is still to be left as burden
upon the people. We know that there is
a new horde of office holders to be paid,
and the desire to cut off entirely the ma
tional tax gatherer, with his. odious inquis-
itoIial powers, is one of the reasons for an
early payment of the national obligations.
But even while this army of officials is re-
tanned, careful economy would cut down
this annual estimate at least one hundred
millions"
Should but a part Of the debt be paid
by subscription, we should gain little in
the reduction Of office holders, as the col
lection of the tax on the remainder would
require the same system as the collection
on the whole amount. We see it stated
that the provost marshal system is to be
continued, and we shall find much dfficul
ty in loosing the grasp of office holders
That there must be material reduction
IN their number is evident, as it is also
evident that there will be increased
? watchfulness of public expenses. We ap
prehend that President Johnson's ideas o
economy will shame the calculations which
estimate our annual current expenses a
three hundred and fifty mollions. w
nav look for some great changes in tn
elimination of the present scale Of expen
diture.- Chicago Times.

Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant passed through
this lace on Tuesday morning this week,
on has way to Washington from Chicago,
where he had been for short time in at
tendance at the great Northwestern SAM
tary Fair This fair will long be remem-
bered on account of the celebrities; pres
ent, az we'll as the work proper, of the Fair
itself; Gems. Grant, Sherman, Hooker, and
others not unknown to fame, were all there
there at the same time, and no small
amount of lionizing of these great men
took place on the occasion. The people
wanted to see them, and they probably
were DESTROYS Of being seen; so both par
ties have been gratifed to their hearts
content This desire on the part Of the
people was, of course, laudable, and no
doubt the presence of these rotables drew
vast number of people from distance
who otherwise would have remained away
How much has been added to the receipts
of the Fair in this way, none can tell, but
The amount no doubt is great. The Far
is proving thorough success, and many
helpless soldiers family will have cause
to feel grateful for the generous impulses
of the people so freely exemplifed in the
result Of the present Fair

NEGRO EQUALIrY.-The Abolitionists
do not appear to be satisfied yet with the
mischief they have done the country, and
so they are entering on the work of agta>
ton in favor of negro suffrage and the
eventual admixture of the black and white
races. The distinction between these two
races is the work of the Almighty, whose
wisdom crazy Abolitionists would dispute,
and to obliierate which they would yainly
interpose their noisy clatter.

tain how many of the thousands of tories
of that period were executed after peace
and independence were assured!
But it is feared that a transfer Of poiit-
ical power may yet open the prison doors
of Bowles and Milligan, and turn them
loose to triumph over us. Well, it is not
likely that their execution would prevent
that, and if majority of the people i'm
bibe their principles, we guess they
ought to be turned loose, and in that case
re shall probably need clemency our
selves.
The Journal is evidently il thinking
mood and for tbs time being has ccnclu-
dcd to keep in the back ground its feelings
of vengeance, but it may well be question
ed, whether It's present amiabilityis the re-
