TRUSTEES AND EEEsEJIEN.

For some weeks past q ccatention
has been going on between Tie trustees
Of the corporate town Of Pl, mouth and
the fremen of the same corporation.
We have, from the first, regarded it as
a very foolish and needless contention
and hoped, for the benefit Of the demo
cratic party in the corporation, that it
would cease in some reasonable length
Of time, aid therefore have done moth
ing but to publish on one side, the or
dinances of the board, and on the 9TH
er side, the resolutions adopted by the
firemen. We adopted this course be-
cause we sincerely hoped the good
judgment of democrats, both as mem
bers of the board, and as members of
the different fire companies, would fin
ally prevail, and this school-boy quar-
rel be dropped. But we have been
disappointed, and the matter has finally
been worked up into such shape that
we feel it our duty to say to all demo-
Gratis tina t it is their duty, as such, to
attend the democratic nominating con-
vention and do all they can to put in
nomination a good ticket, and then
work for its election. The tern, Of the
present board will soon expire, and we
predict none of them will be candidates
for reelection. We belong to the fire
department, and feel as keenly any
insults or indignities that may be cast
upon US as such,as most irenen, we sup
pose. But we were a democrat before
we commenced running with the ma
chine" aud no set of designing repub-
licans or short-si GIFTED and selfis h
democrats, acting either as members OF
the town board or as members of the
IRE department, shall lead us into sup
porting anything else than a straight
out and out democratic ticket, and DEM
ocrats who are led astray by either of
these factions, will have plenty of time
to regret it hereafter.
Let all such democrats remember
that they, as much as other democrats,
are responsible for the election of the
present board, and if they do not APP
prove of its action, they need not charge
it to their democratic neighbours more
than themselves.
Keep cool, brother democrats, and
do not let your zeal for The fire de-
partment of the town lead you into the
support of ticket which, if elected
will run the town for the ben eft Of ne
gro equality and every other damnable
heresy that is now ahoat in our coun-
try. The republicans have everything
to gain and nothing to lose by a split
in our party.
This is poor time for US to split on
any election, no matter how small or
Insignificant.

STAND FROM UNDER.

We call the especial attention of
all persons who have any school funds
borrowed, to the list of lands forfeited
for the non-payment of school interest,
published in the Democrat. 1t will be
seen by reading the following sections
of the school law, that the auditor is
compelled to advertise, and when ad-
vertised, if no one else bids on them on
the day Of sale, he has to bid them in
for the state. There is no redemption
from this sale as there is from the tax
sales, and title to land bought at
such sale is a, good as that derived
from the state in any other way. Here
arc the sections of the school laws of
Indiana we refer to:
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1869-03-11

Sec. 81. On failure to pay any in
stallment Of interest when the same
becomes due, the principal sum shall
forthwith become due aad payable, and
the auditor may proceed to collect the
same by suit on the note, or by sale Of
the mortgaged premises. lie may
also, by suit, recover the mortgaged
premises before sale thereof, and he
shall, on the fourth Monday in March,
annually, offer for sale al mortgaged
lands, on which payment of interest is
due, Oh the first day of January, and
unpaid on the day of sale.
Sec %. Before sale Of mortgaged
premises, the auditor shall advertise
the same In some newspaper printed in
the county where the land lies, if any
any there be, otherwise in paper in
the state nearest thereto, 70, three
weeks successfully, and also by notice
set up at the court house door, and in
three public places IN the township
where the land lies.
Sec. o.. Iu case or no bid for the
amount due, the auditor shall bid in
the same, on account of the fund, and
as sooon thereafter as may be, shall
sell the same, having first caused it to
be appraised by three disinterested
frecholders of the neighborhood, on q
credit Of five years, with interest at
seven Per cent. per annum, being pay
able annually in advance, but no such
sale shall be for a less sum than the
app raised value thereof
We hope that all Interested will see
to this matter at once and save taeir
farms and homes.

Mr.. A. Il. STEWART is very anx-
ious to hold on to the office of secretary
of the treasury. Finding that congress
will not repeal the law which debars
him from the position, he seeks to evade
the provisions of that law by an offer
to surrender to charitable purposes the
profits accruing from his mercantile
business while he shall hold the treas
ury portfolio. This proposition is now
under consideration; but it is generally
believed that it will be pronounced in
admissible, and that Mr.. Stewart will
be compelled to retire and the friends
of Mr.. Boutwell,, of Ma, sachusetts, are
confident that that gentleman will be
selected to gill the position.
Whether Mr.. Boutwell, will make a
better secretary Of the treasury than
Mr. Stewart, were the latter qualified
to retain Office, is extremely doubtful.
Boutwell,, like Stewart, is an apostate
from democracy. Like Stewart, he is
understood TO be n free-taader; but
thisis about the oEly democratic prin-
ciple that fingers in his possession
He was elected governor of Mas
sachusetts, in 1851, by the democrats
and free-soilers combined /; in 1861 was
member of the peace congress; and
since then, like Ben. Butler, has been
one Of the iIowling Dervishes of radi-
cal vindictiveness. How he came to
the possession of any remarkable fnan-
ella. talents, is unknown.
Altogether, Mr.. Grant seems to
have made sad bungle Of executive ad-
ministration at the very outset of his
presidential career. His assumption
of independence; his cavalier and
somewhrt insolent manner of dismissing
the suggestions of political men vastly
better informed than him ,-can hardly
fail, if long continued, to ALLEVIATE the
sympathies RI prominent men Of both
parties. The politicians who are now
very ambitious to bask In the sunshine
of his favor may put up with it in
silence for time but, if the signs do
not fail, and human nature does not
undergo chrnge, there will be i" fun
ahead"

TEHE TEsSTESs AND FIRE
MEN

The communications that have been
published in the Democrat, from the
members of the various companies of
firemen in our place, although publish
ed without comment heretofore, have
not met with our approval.
The trustees of the town have un-
questionable custody and control of the
property of the corporation, and have
the right to appoint end pay an agent
to take charge of such property, and
also the right to sell, trade, or other
wise dispose of the same as they may
deem advisable.
They have exercised this right, to a
certain extent, by appointing chief
engineer of the fire department and
fixing salary for his services. As far
as We can ascertain. the chief complaint
s made against the trustees because
they have SO exercised this right.
The action Of the fremen as 6remeu

Of their communications, as literary
productions and witticisms, speak for
themselves, but the action of the fire.
men, in assuming to say who may or
who may not hereafter be elected trus-
tees, certainly strikes us as being quite
absurd.
The democracy Of the corporation
will undoubtedly nominate competent,
honest men for trustees, and will also
undoubtedly elect them. Democratic
members Of the fire companies have

NOBLE ACTION OF DEMOCRATIC
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
THE ISSUE MADE EsLAEN.
NEGRO SUFFRA Il TO BE
Submitted 10 TIE PEO-
PIE.

Last Thursday the democratic mem
bers Of the Indiana Legislature resign
ed their seats. The cause OF their &C.
ton was an effort on the part of the
radical members to force vote on the
amendment giving negroes the right to
vote in all the states of the United
States. Had the vote been taken In
diana would undoubtedly have ratified
the amendment IN violation Of the W ish.
es of the people of the state, and by the
action of false and recreant, partisan
legislature. The democrats, who were
confident that the people of the state
oppose negro suffrage, possessing the
power to defeat the infamous scheme.
rather than sacrifice the real interest of
the people, resigned their seats aud
broke up tie legislature; for which, we
say, all honor to them!
Now new election is ordered and
the people are requested by the radio
ais to send men to the legislature who
viii. vote for the amendment which
gives negroes suffrage in all the states.
The election takes place March 23rd
and oil who desire negro suffrage will
vote for the radical candidate and all
WHO oppose negro suffrage will vote for
the democratic candidate. There is no
lodging possible now. There is no
other issue, and no man can disguise
his vote at this election.
We refer our readers to the circular
in this paper, from the Democratic Gen.
'tcal Committee, for details, and urge
them to come to the convention next
saturday, and go to the polls on the
23rd. The action of the democratic
members is most noble and must be hear
tily approved by all white men opposed
to negro equality.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1869-03-11

THE following is from the Indianap-
oils Journal-radical organ of the
Etate-of the 18th Of February:
Those republicans who are strenuous
ly urging an amendment to the con-
stitution to deprive the states Of control
over the suffrage question, wo1ld do
we'll to refresh their memory by read
ing tie following plank from the plat
form on which the late presidential
election was carried:
"The guarantee dy congress of equal
suffrage to all loyal men at the south
was demanded by every consideration
of public safety, of gratitude, and of
justice. and must be maintained while
the question ofsufrage IN all the loyal
states properly belongs to the people Of
those states"
Now we ask the readers of the Jour.
nal to explain the consistency of that
paper in denouncing the democratic
members of the legislature who resign
ed their Offices to prevent the success
of this breach Of faith and faud upon
the people of the United states.

their rights and votes in the democrat
ic nominating convention, and if COM
petent, honest men are not nominated
these same democratic firemen are re-
sponsible just in proportion to their
efforts to secure the nomination Of good

We do not recognize the fire depart
ment of our town as political orga D.

member of that party, but belong to
the democratic party and support its
nominees.
An effort made by democrats to d.
vide the party and deprive it of power
and influence, will meet with more IA
vor from republicans than from demo
Gratis, and we cannot countenance or
support any movement looking to that
end. Nor can we as democrat admit
the authority of fire company to die
tate the course proper to be pursued
BY democratic convention When
said fremen appear in said convention
as members of the convention, then
their right to be heard as democrats
commences.
