DID HE lIE2

DIR, Greeley has over and ovel
again pronounced the. Democratic
party the most corrupt, villanous
impure and unsound combination
of people in America. The ques
tion now is, did he tell the truth
If he did he is in bad company. II
he did not then this Democracy
have the very prince of liars ant
slanderers for a candidate. Oh re

GREeLEf ON THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.

"Many will be surprised at the
Presidents hearty Endorsement of

there all along. The Presidents
summing up of the leading objects
of his policy, and especially his de.
sire to secure a ''pure and untram-

the popular heart beats in unison
with his aspirations and his efforts"

The Indianapolis Sentinel modestly calls
itself the organ of the Democratic party
We are willing to refer that claim to the
decision of the Attorney General of the
State.-T H. Journal.
The above from Democratic paper is
pretty severe on Bright The poor
abused State Printer has had his full share
of trouble this winter. The Democratic
Attorney General recently forced him to
compromise for stolen book paper, by re-
turning $40 reams. worth probably IS per
ream, to the Stale Auditor; and he is now
prosecuting him for the trifiing offense of
swearing to false vouchers, on which he
drew large, amounts of the peoples
money
The New Albany Ledger, a Democratic
paper, has also been disturbing Bright's
peace, by insisting that the Sentinel shall
pass into other hands; or that another
Democratic paper shall be started in In
dianapolis.

JOHN MLLIKAN. EDITOR.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 1872

There seems to be just at this time too
many aspirants FOR leadership in the Re.
publican ranks. 1t is very certain that
men of independent thought will not all
think alike; but they can and should use
sufficient judgement in expressing their
opinions not to injure the Republican
cause. Men-prominent politicians too
would show more wisdom by keeping
their mouths shut than they do by rail-
ing out against every act of the Admins
tration, that they may not happen to
fancy. No Administration of the affairs
Of this goyeroment has at all times been
free from blame and it is hardly to be
supposed that so long as the government
is controlled by finite beings that it will
be entirely blameless. Sensible men, and
men who have the good of the country at
heart will work with that organization
which seems to them for the best interest
OF the whole people, even if they cannot
endorse every man who holds office or
every measure proposed There is vast
difference between independence and
self-importance, and the people know
more about that than headstrong self
willed politicians think they do.

We made short call at Laporte, lastFri-
day night and Saturday morning, and had
the pleasure of taking by the hand many
old friends, in that city of brave men and
lovely women. Sorry business would not
allow of our staying longer. We had a
friendly chat with Powell, Taylor and
Major of the Herald. Powell, as usual
was busy fixing up the State ticket-cal-
culating the chances of the Republican
party for carrying the Methodist vote OF
the State, etc. We barely had chance
to shake hands with Wadsworth. of the
argus. He was in the company of Hy.
Druliner, who is first rate clever fellow ;
but is hardly a suitable companion for
Wadsworth. He smokes, and has a
bad practice of treating editors.

the influence of liquor.
On last Saturday he became intoxicated

Nothing more was herd of him by the
city authorities until II o'clock the same
night, when he was attacked by a CLIQUE

His assailants were arrested and bailed
out, whersupon the whole party returned
to the saloon. One of them, John Con-
don by name stopped on the way at
blacksmith shop, and procured a sharn.
heavy file. Immediately after re entering
the saloon Condor insulted Black, and
the two stepped outside and walked about
half square east on Columbia street,
when the former struck the latter on the
temple with the file.
Black fell senseless upon the snow and
bled profuseiy He was discovered, and
taken to Con. Schenck's restaurant. from
which he was carried to Nils drug store.
DR.. Thacker was called in, who dressed
the wound, and the unfortunate man was
then removed to the residence of his sis

noon that Black had died from his iniu-
ries, but he still lives, though very slight
hopes are entertained of his recovery.

Forney's resignation is thus explained /:
his wish to succeed Cameron in the

sired to be unfettered for that canvass, and
hence his resignation. On the other
side, the significant statement is made that

Into this one bird throat;

And DAVIS keep murmuring YES =

Til Spring comes back again z"

But halfway through his creed he cheo ks

And, catching that. no longer reeks

Plain Talk 10 the Girls.

1t is q fact which should DO contin.
uaIly brought before the eyes of every
girl in the land, that the fashionable
method Of committing sui eide by
wearing corsets should bo frowned
down. Say anything to one abou,
wearing thes ribs Of whale bones and
steel, and she will say they imp rove
the form. The idea Don't you sup
pose, you little fool that your Maker
knew what He was about when He
fashioned you with his own hands ?
Or do you think lIo made woman
first, aud afterwards made u French
mOdiste, TO get her into decent
shape? Perhaps that was how il
happened that women are left as ua.
ture made them, and fools arc shap.
ed by the dressmaker. But it would
be only justice to allow tie girls to
grow up to womanhOod before thoy
decide whether they would be women
or fools, instead of putting them into
corsets when they are tender children.
II is absolute cruelty to pu, corsets
on little child. No child can wear
them more than two or three hours at
time at first, but they arc mado TO
wear as long as they can endure the
tortures and then take them off aud
rest awhile aud SO on until they be-
came hardened to the torture, and can
delight the dressmaker with slim
waist to suit her eye.
But the next ques ton that arises is.
whether anything has been ia ken
from the body during tho process of
simming the patient? Certainly the
waist was smooth and little tapering
before the corsets were appIi ed, now it
is longer, and not more than half the
size at tho bottom. If notbi ns has
been tax en- from the waist what have
the corsets done with the organs that
tilled that portion Of TIE body before
the corset strings were drawn? They
have been squeezed either above or
below tho waist, aud as those places
wero already occupied with organs
OF their own, those squeezed from
the aist must have been forced into
the space allowed for something else
to grow in. So the logical conclusion
is, tho organs that nature placed with
ia the waist bave been forced to va
cate the premises and crowd thom-
selves within the space allotted to 9TH
er and equally important orgaOs. No
wonder tho girls lose their rosy
cheeks, when tho corset strings are
drawn SO tightly that the blood ean.
not circulate freely enough TO run in
to tho cheeks. No wonder that the
ungs refuse to perform their work
when they haven't half room to work
in. Aud no wonder the lower organs
refuse to perform their Office, aud girls
grow old before their time, suf-
feriag from female complaints brought

Marriage Law In ENGLAND.

The question which is Just now
puzzling the wise brains lying under
the wigs Of sixteen English Judges
Is whether man who has married
The niece Of his first wife, having a
second wife living, is guilty Of biga-
my. This legal conundrum has been
found so difficult to answer that a
court lately assembled in the Exchel.
uer.Chamber, consisting OF two Lord
Chief Justices, the Lord Chief Baron.
aud thirteen puisue Judges, were un-
able To come to conclusion on the
subject, and have reserved their de-
clsion for another term. Tho facts are
that one Henry AlIon espousei wife,
and she dying, he then espoused a
second. Without waiting for aumber
two to die, Allen proceeded to es-
peuse still another wife, who happen
ed to DO the neice Of wife number
one. None of these facts are denied.
But according TO the English laws of
consancuinity man may not marry
his wife's brothers daughter. An act
OF Parliament provides that marriages
within the prohibited degree shall not
be merely void, but void TO all inteuts
and purposes. The defence is that
the third marriage was an illegal ono
aud void, and therefore, thero being
no marriage, there could be no biga-
my. The case had been reserved from
the Assizos for the decision Of the six
teen Judges, who have as yet been
unable to make up their minds on tn,
subject.
