The efforts of tie leading radical
politicians to reverse the popular de-
cision Of the ballot box in Tennesse
and Virginia is startling indication #
the direction in which republIcansm
is drifting in this country.
Efforts by disappointed politicians
TO reverse the results Of the elections,
when the decision Las been made by a
very small majority, hare baen common
for many years. But when as in the
case Of Virginia and Tennessee, tho
decision has been rendered by a ma.
jority overwhelming in rumbcrs, it has
remained to the present era OF 'recon>
struciion" for the defeated minority to
set about ovcrturning the decision OF
the successful majority.
The old habit found an excuse in
the pretense Of indicating the purity
VI INC Ddi4ot bOA, LS new one can
find no such excuse. ANY prerensc
that the decision in Virginian By ma
jority Of forty thousand or in Tennes-
see by seventy thousand was obtained
By fraud, would be absurdly preposter-
Gus. The disappointed politicians who
desire to over;urn these decisions. and
who are now importuning Tie federal
power to that end, do net set up any
such Pretence. In Virgins. which
is still regarded BY the disappointed
ones as that impossible thing, one of
the states Of the union that i. not in
tie union no excuse whatever i.
deemed essential In Tennessee. the
excuse set up by Mr.. Stokes FOR desir-
ing to defeat the popular will is the
alarming political condition which is
fast precipi'ating Tennessee into tho
hands of the democracy"

The town of Peru, Miami county,
has appropriated $4,000 to assist in
the construction of three gravel roads,
leading mo that place, from different
directions. The stock is issued in Z
per cent. bonds, payable in twenty
years.
This reminds us Of the condition of
the principal roads leading into our
town. We defy Peru, or any other
town in this, or any ether State,
tc produce two roads more in need OF
repairing, or re making, than the
Michigan road from here to Argos, and
the Goshen rad from here to Bremen,
and it would be more to the advantage
of our town to have these roads made
passable than to have four new rails
roads built through the place. We
have all the railroad facilities we need,
just at present, and would do we'll to go
improve our county roads that the far
mers may reach us apd receive the ben
eft Of the railroads We Eow have. Hun
dreds Of thousands OF dollars are annu.
ally driven away from Plymouth, on
account Of the almost impossible con-
dition of the roads referred to; and we
can lily afford to lose this large trade.
\ few thousand dollars, j1diciOusly ex>
pended, would soon return an hundred
fo!d, and lift our town once more to lis
proud position as the best business
point in Northern Indiana.
This is matter Of vital importance,
and s..ould be agitated until some de.
cisivc action IS taken. Our citizens
should hold a meeting and continue &C.
ten on the subject until the object Is
accomplished. ia little more energy
and public spirit is net manifested
than has characterized our people for
the pas: few years We very much fear
the little towns Of Goshen, South Bend +,
iaPorte and Warsaw will pass US III
the great commercial race.
Who will be frs. to take action for
