From the LaPorte Herald.l
Judge Osborn and Temperance.

A missapprehension prevails to some
extent in relation to Judge o Osdorn, which
ought to be corrected.
Many people seem to think that because
that the Supreme court decided that the
ninth section of the Baxter bill was un-
constitutional that the judges SO deciding
intended to hold that the legislature had
no constitutional authority to enact such a
provision. That section was not decar-
ed unconstitutional for the want of power
in the Ie5 legislature to enact it, but on ac-
count of a defect in the title of the act.
1t was held that the subject matter of the
section was not included in the title, and
Oh that sole ground the section was de-
clared to he in vio ation of section 10 ar
ticle of the constitution of the State.
The opinion was written by Judge
Worden and concurred in by majority
of the judges, including Judge Osborn.
For this, Judge Osborn has been de-
nounced as an anti-tcmperance man, and
even accused of social habits not entirely
temperate. Now. the truth is, that he is
singularly free from all such habits. He
does not drink any intoxicating liquor
under any cilc instances, either in public
or private. His life is u constant sermon
in favor of temperance.
As ajudge he will decide what, after
investigation and consideration he be-
lieves to be valid or invalid. without re-
gard to individual desires or wishes on
the subject If he should do otherwise,
he would be unfit for a judge.
Il is of Tie highest importance that the
judiciary should act independently and
tree from all outside influences. Judges
do not make laws, and hence are not pre-
sumed to be controlled bv, or to reflect
popular feelings by their decision. No
man fit for Judge will allow lis judicial
action to be controlled by any such influ-
ence. All of his decisions and opinions
must be the result Of and follow the con.
clusion Of his own best judgement.*x

Republican Joint Represen-
tatlve convention.

Pursuant TO preveious notice given
through the Republican papers in the
district, the Republicans of st. Joseph
and Marshall Counties, met in conven-
tion at LaPorte, on THU sday, Sept. 24tL,
for the purpose of nominating can
didate for Representative The meeting
was called to order by VIM. NJ. Kendall,
of Plymouth. On motion of DIR.
Greene, of Mishawaka, DR.. A. Hunt
singer, was chosen president. John
Millikan, of Marshall. D. Eyer, of st. Jo-
seph and G. Nj. Brooke, were, on motion,

trict central committee, consisting Of
two from each county, was appointed, as
follows; William Miller and John Rey-
nolds, of St. Joseph, and G. G. Buck and
VIM. NJ. Kendall, of Marshall. The

sentative being in order, the name of
H. G. Thayer, of Marshall county, was
announced. There being no other can
didate proposed, on motion, Henry G..
Thayer was unanimously nominated.
Mr.. Thayer declined the nomination
giving as a reason that his business claim
ed his attention, and that he could not
accept without great sacrifice. DR..
Greene, Mr.. Eyer, and DR.. Huntsinger,
all urged Mr. Thayer, to accept the nom.
nation, but he positively declined.
Mr.. Kendall, of Marshall county pre-
sented the name of John s. Bender, ESQ
of Plymouth, as a candi late tor nomin-
ation DIR. Green, of fMishawaka, presented
the name of Dr. A. Huntsinger of Mish-
awaka. Mr.. Kendall then withdrew the
name of Mr.. Bender. There being but
one candidate, on motion, Abraham
Huntsinger, of St. Joseph county was
unanimously nominated. Dr. Huntsinger,
being called out, very happily expressed
his thanks for the honor, conferred, and
for the confidence reposed in him, and
pledged himself to work faithfully for
success. He said that he had come to
the convention without any idea of re-
ceiving the nomination, but with full
determination to nominate Mr. Thayer
Mr.. Thayer thanked the convention for
the confidence reposed in him and the
proffered hearty support, and promisedIto
do what he could to assist in the election
of the nominee. On motion, the conyen-
ton adjourned.

.How TO GO WE sT.n

This is an inquiry which every one
should have truthfully answered before
he starts on his joul ney, and little care
taken in examination of routes will in
many cases save much trouble, time and
money.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has achieved splendid reputa-
tion in the last three years as the leading
Passenger Route to the West, Starting at
Chicago or Peoria, it runs direct through
Southern Iowa and Nebraska, with close
connections to California and the Terri
tories. 1t is also the short line and best
line to Quincy, Missouri, and all points in
Kansas and New Mexico. Passengers
on their way westward cannot do better
than to take this route.
| This line has published pamphlet en-
titled "How TO GO WEST" which con.
tains much valuable information; a large
correct map of the Great West, which car
be obtained free of charge by addressing

We congratulate the good people Of
Plymouth, on their new Pastor. We
were acquainted with Mr.. Stevens dur
ing three years of his college course at
Indiana Asbury University. For two
years we were classmates, and four
years connected with the same college
fraternity. We knew him Wei, and
knew him to have lived an eminently
pure life He was second to no one IN his
class for industrious study, quick appre-
hension, courteous demeanor; he had for
chile ways, tinged with Christian humili-
ty; he was correct writer of English, a
graceful, forcible and ready speaker. Mr..
Stevens was soldier in the Union army,
and although he has never told US SO, We
know he has medals in his possession,
given him for gallant conduct in battle.
We speak for him warm welcome from
the people of Plymouth. We may add
that Mr.. Stevens was also q classmate
of the Pastor of the First NJ. E. Church
of this city-Mr. Gobin-who has found
the whole Church here his warmest
friends, and are rejoiced at his return to
this city.-South Bend Union.

me at Ligonier, Ind, by Hon. J. b. Stoll.
and L now avail myself of the earliest
moment after reaching home to answer
it.
You are pleased To say in your letter
that you recognize that my training for
professional life, my association with pro-
fessional men, and long experience as
lawyer, give me in debate an advantage
over you. Permit me to state that either
your mOdesty or generosity has led you
to make a concession as to my ability in
political debate which | cannot justly
claim. 1t is true that | have for some
years been engaged in the practice of that
profession of which you have recently
become member; still my experience in
political debate has been limited, as |
have never, as "a candidate, made u speech
prior To the present year
| cannot forget that your experience as
a politician and political debater COM
menced rs early ut least as the Democrat
ic Presidential Conv ntion held At Chica
20, Illinois, in 1856 W lere you delivered
a speech that attrI Icted some notice. Nor
can forget that within the last ten years
you have repeatedly been presented as
candidate for Office before conventions of
your party friends, nor that you have
twice when a candidate for Legislative
hOnOrS, and once when candidate for
County Treasurer, canvassed Dekalb
county with great thOroughness and abil
ity to secure your own election. A poll
tician vino has thus three times run for
Office, and three times canvassed his own
county, can Justly claim to be my superior
both as a politician and mere political de.
batter Yet with an abiding faith in the
business OF the cause have been selected
To represent, and impressed with the be-
lief that the ccrruptions, extravaganza
and maladministration of those you rep
resent cannot withstand discussion and
exposure" l respectfully accept your in
vitation to Join in a joint discussion Of
the political questions of the day.
Allow me to suggest the name of Dr.
E. w. H. Ellis, Of Elkhart county, to
act Jointly with your friend Samuel Schptt
Of Dekalb county, in naming the time,

One Freeman Kelley, persistent and
rampant Democrat of DeKa]b county,
was nominated at Kendallville, on the 9th
inst. TO make the hopeless race against
John H. Baker for Congress. The very
nomination of this man-who is a mere
man of straw, without brains enough to
understand the situation, and that his
party is just making fool of him-is
conclusive evidence OF the hopeless con.
dition Of the Democracy in this district,
and that they have no expectation of suc-
cess. Was there any chance whatever
for the election of Democrat in this
district, this Kelley is the last man who
would have been nominated; but the
Democrats thought he would do to lead
the forlorn hope and furnish money for
the campaign. The chances Of the cleo.
ton Of Mr.. Baker, which were good from
the first, have been greatly increased by
the nomination of Kelley.-Goshen 1inaes.

A touching and curious incident is the

A touching and curious incident is the
purchase by Mr.. Anderson, OF Toronto,
of the yacht Foam," in which two OF
his sons were lately drowned near Mag
ara, ard it's destruction by fire. The pa
ternal heart could not bear that the craft
which had borne his sons to death should
longer exist Hc purchased 1t and burned
it to the waters edge. There is some
thing almost classic in this display OF a
fathers love.
There was more sentiment than sound
sense displayed in the act. Neither the
yacht nor the water were responsible fol
the accident 1t was the result of natural
causes which could only have been avoid
ed by intelligent beings.
