Roous OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
Executive RESIDENT COMMITTEE,
WAsHINGroN, October 2l, 1870.
The National Democratic Congressional
Resident Com mmittee tender .heir congrstu>
lations TO the democratic and conservative
voters OF the three great states of Pennsyi
vania, Indiana and OHIO, for their recent
successes over the corruptions of radicslism
aided, as the radicals have been, by profit
gate and desperate administration at Wash
ington.
In Pennsylvania a gain of FIVE members
of congress has been secured, the radical
majority Of last year been largely red uced i'll
eaoa branch of the Legislature, and there is a
decided ma ority in the state on the popular
vote against the administration. 1n Indiana
the state has been redeemed from furihe
radical misrule bv the election of the demo
cratic aud conservative state ticket, carrying
with 1t a gain of two members of congress
and ma jority in each branch of the legisla
ture. Economy and reform are thus made
sure to the people of that state III the imme,
date future.
ln Ohio the radical ms jority for two years
has been reduced more than one-hslf, and
the leader of the radical corruptionists in
the present congress been defeated
We sow appeal to the democratic and
conservative voters of the states in which
elections are 20 be held to make further and
more determined efforts in behalf of res
toration of an honest administration. We
ask that they disregard threats from any
central source, aud pay no attention in any
respect to the proposed use of the military
power of the government in the local man
sgement of elections ia the states. Let the
doors of our organization be thrown wide
open for the admission Of all who desire
economy and honesty in the management o.
the public treasury, so that the present
burden of taxation may be thereby mitigated
regardless OF former issues or past political
association or name. and bring about entir
cooperation among all who seek restoration
of the Union founded upon peace and good
will among their fellow men, aud a return
to strict integrity among the public ofhcers
of the nation. (SIgned)

Why did Hawley vote to do away with

Editors Journal:
The seventh year of the Rockport
Collegiate Institute is drawing to a
close; and as the exercises are of a
very interesting character, we think
that brief sketch of them would be
appreciated by your readers.
During the entire year, the school
has met with unsurpassed success, and
the commencement exercises are at
tended with unusual interest.
Though the rain poured down in
torrents on Sunday morning, a re-
spectacle audience came out to hear
the Annual Sermon, which was to be
delivered by Rev. J. B. Likely. OF
Boonville. From some cause un-
known to your writer, the speaker
failed to come, but the disappointment
was fully compensated for by a sound
aud logical sermon from the Rev. Mr..
Earring.
The discourse was suited to the
occasion, and was delivered In that
forcible and convincing manner which
ever charaeteriZes Mr.. Earrings SER
mons.
At 8 o'clock Pm. Rev. Mr.. Binkley.
of Mt. Vernon, delivered the Annual
Lecture. Subject: Education an
important auxiliary TO the advance
ment of Christianity"
The lecture was logical, plain, and
practical, convincing In its proof, and
overwhelming ia iss argument, and
delivered in that free and easy grace
which cannot fail to rivet the atten-
ton of every hearer.
Monday morning the annual exam
ination of the classes commenced,
and throughout the entire day were
attended with unusual interest. The
ol.--~As were examined in Rhetoric,
Higher Mathematics, German, Latin,
&c, &c.
In all the examinations the stu
dents acquitted themselves credita-
bly,, and in a manner that showed the
| thoroughness of their course of IN
struction. Prof. Smith is an earnest
and efficient teacher, and with his
excellent corps of teachers, is build
ing up a school in our midst that is
destined to become one of the very
best in Southern Indiana.
On Monday evening Prof. j. q.
Ridpath, of the Chair Of English
Literature in Asbury University, de-
livered the annual address before the
Platonian aud Philomathian Lite
rary Societies. Subject" The Men
tai Forces and Physical Progress y
The lecture abounded in wit and
humor, fowery rhetoric, eloquenoe,
enthusiasm, and indeed everything
that is appreciative in lecture.
The relation OF matter and mind,
the history Of the dark ages, and the
progress of mental force and physical
Improvement were brought vividly
and in rapid succession before the
mind. Indeed, we may safely say, il
was the rarest treat of the kind that
we have enjoyed for many a day.
Tomorrow we will give sketch OF
the remaining exercises, which will
close the term. w. .. B.
