H. J. Hammond, Esqr, of Indi-
annapolis, may understand pretty we'll
Blackstone and Chitty and all that
sort of thing, but it was we'll demon
strated here last Saturday that he
knew nothing about the management
of horse car on down grade! He
stepped on the platform of one at the
turn table at the crossing of Fifth
street and attempted to drive down
in front of the Huntington House
where Deputy U. S. Marshal Biglow
was conducting the sale, and made
such display ofawkardness in man
aging the horse and car, that the spec
tators commenced laughing at him,
and the boys-God bless them! for
they are always on hand when needed
shouted down with the brakes;
down with tho brakes to such an ex-
tent it perfectly bewildered our al
ready confused hero, that he actually
showed fight. 1t is said he did so fal
forget the proprieties of the occasion
as to commit an assault on one of oul
Quaker citizens, but explanations and
apologies followed and all things were
set right again.

More Salary and How to Get 1t.
just now the issuing of the follow
ing card, in substance, would be in
order from the pen of Mayor Elder:
READY CARD WRITER.-The pub.
lie can bear witness to the facility with
which l defended my casting vote,
putting $500 more in my pocket as
salary, than l would otherwise have
received; and, also, to the adroitness
with which ] disposed of the charge
brought against me by Davis of the
Palladium, in which he arraigned me
for failing to take notice of a breach
Of the peace perpetrated in my pres
ence by the Chief of Police, by wri-
ting that mastery card in the indie
pendent, in which l denounced said
Davis as a 'low-flung malicious liar!'
and squelched him completely! Hence,
and for the purpose of further increas-
ing my salary as Mayor, and keeping
my hand In as an expert Gard Writer,
I solicit my fellow citizens of the
Democratic persuasion, who may have
either real or imagined difficulties
with their neighbors which they may
desire to have settled through the
columns of the Daily Independent, to
give me a call, in the rear of the
Council Chamber, in the Warner
building, in the room occupied by me
as a Mayors office. where I will be
happy to serve them to the best of my
ability. Prices reasonable. During
warm weather, if preferred, can be
consulted in front of Engine House
No. 3 until II NJ, each day. Patron.

The following is a report made
by Daniel Bulla to meeting of the
Richmond Horticultural Associ
alton, held at Jesse Starts, on the
18th inst, on the condition of this
years crops in this vicinity:
"The wheat harvest is about over,
and an over average one-some Of
the best fields OF wheat that the
country has had for many years.
It has been good haying weather
for the last three weeks, and the
farmers took advantage of it and
moved away a good supply. Al
though the clover is short, the
quality is good. The prospect for
corn is good, though it wants rain
in some places. The chinch bug is
making it's appearance in some
localities. Some fields OF wheat
were full of the pest. The potato
crop bids fair to be a plentiful one.
The sweet potatoes look we'll. The
oats crop is short on account of the
early dry weather. I think, taking
it altogether, we will have over an
| average CROP

From the Cincinnati Gazette of
yesterday morning we learn that q
number of the Gazettes hands
were poisoned by arsenious acid
having been placed in the coffee
used at the midnight lunch usually
partaken of by the typos. In con
sequence of q difference between
the proprietors and the old en-
ployes regarding the price of COM
position, they were discharged and
new ones employed from Indian
apolis in their places. The dose
administered was too large to be
fatal, and excessive vomiting and
purging ensued. The Gazette says:
CATER midnight a half dozen or
more of the lately discharged prin
ters were standing on the sidewalk
on the opposite side of the street,
looking with considerable interest
at the composing room windows.
This circumstance is not in favor OF
their innocence of completely in the
crime. Other evidence has been
obtained which will aid in detect
ing the criminals. It was apparent
yesterday that there was a deep
and bitter feeling against the ''gen
tlemen from Indianapolis as the
new employees are called, and es
pecinlly against the few of the I'm
ion men who have left the Unior
and have been re employed. II
was hard ly expected, however, thai
this feeling would assume the muir
derous form of an attempt to poi
son the whole force, and if it is o
course understood that only tn
most reckless of the discharged
men, or perhaps some more mali
cious persons who have not been q
all employed in the Gazette office
could be capable of such course.

cret. M
New York, July 2O.-Mr. Tilton
appeared before the Beecher Investi-
CATION Committee tonight. and no
doubt read his statement. The COM
mittee, at late hour, was still in ses-
sion, with Tilton present. At half
past twelve this morning, Tilton, who
had been reading his statement care
fully aud deliberately to the commit
tee, left Mr.. Storrs' residence, accom-
panied by his friend, Mr.. Frank Moul-
ton. A score of eager reporters gath
cred around Tilton as he emerged fronl
the residence of DIR. Storrs, and eager
ly enquired for news. He said IL
have nothing TO say except that I have
made my statement, and l think it is
unanswerable In reply to the ques-
ton as to whether his statement could
be obtained, he said the committee
had agreed that nothing should be
made public as yet. He then drove
off with his friend Moulton. Thecom-
,uittee refused in the most decided
manner to give any information what
ever. They said Mr.. Tilton's state
ment had been made, but there were
other witnesses to be heard from, and
the time had not yet arrived to give
anything to the public.

Rev. William H. Goode, inficts
two and a half mortal columns of pro-

tendencies of the day."-What is the
effect of the present popular move

all his conclusions are true, and he
would not set us down as being special

queries by the use of two words-but'

The ChicaGO Fire.

The "Inter Ocean," in speaking
of the fire and itaefects, thus para
logically makes summing up:
1T was sad, distressing, terrible
to thousands; but four fifths of the
territory it swept over was actually
relieved of an incumberance in the
shape of shanties utterly unfit for
the occupancy of human beings.
While such tenements remained,
avarice and cupidity, coupled with
cruel necessities of poverty, made
them serve as habitations; but once
destroyed, they fortunately cannot
be rebuilt; and the land denuded of
its excrescences is worth more for
their radiance. The city itself as
a whole has gained by the fire, and
it is therefore, doubly the duty OF
the city-its government, its char
table societies, and it's people-to
see that the real sufferers are made
| comfortable until such times as
they are able to secure work and
SO replace their modest household
effects

Suicide Of Women.

The community of Forest Grove,
Ind, was startled by the report that
a young lady, Mary j. Dalynor, aged
eighteen, had committed suicide by
hanging, on Thursday last. She wrote
a letter to a young man named joseph
Bradenburgh, who had been paying
particular attention to her, and on
Saturday evening he went to the house
to find her a corpse. The affair is
shrouded in mystery, but the suppo-
sltion expressed is that false report
that Brandenburg ives about to marry
another lady caused the unfortunate
girl to do the rash act.

The Springfield Republican says:
The traffic in liquors is gradually re.
turning to its old haunts, though it is
not always resumed, it is said, BY men
who abandoned it in the revival;
many of these were earnest converts,
and stick to their principles. Many Of
the places where the crusade was
most holly carried on, and where the
most success was achieved, are like

hearts empty, swept and garnished

returns with seven others worse than
himself, and the latter state of thest

Gen. q. q. HOwartl's Case.
The special Court of Inquiry to
investigate the charge against Gen.
0. o. Howard, as Commissioner OF
the Freedmen's Bureau submitted
their finding an opinion which have
; been approved by the President,
as follows.
OPINION OF THE COURT.
Fist. The court is of opinion
that, in the matters referred to it
for investigation, Gen. o. o. How
ard has not, with knowledge and
intent, violated any law of Congress,
regulation of the army, or rule OF
morals and that he is mot guilty.
upon legal, technical, or moral re-
sponsibility in any of the offenses
charged.
Second. The court finds that
Gen. Howard, when charged by his
superiors with great work arising
out of the war, devoted his whole
time and all his faculties and ener-
gies to the execution of that work
In this he employed hundreds oil
assistants, and dealt with hundreds
of thousands of men. In regard
to the expenditure of money, it APP
pears that his accounts are closed
and settled to the satisfaction OF
the accounting officers of the Treas
ury, whose decisions in such mat
ters are by law the highest author
ity, ''fnal AMI conclusive upon the
executive branch of the government
and subject to revision only by
Congress or the proper courts >
Third. In relation TO the invest
ment of certain public money in
United States bonds, while the
court does not hold that such in
vestments were justified by existing
laws, yet in view of the fact thai
these investments were made only
under the opinion and advice o.
the Second Controller, the cour,
attaches no blame to Gen. Howard
therefor. The investments of por
tions of q similar fund, viz: tn,
irregular bounty fund.-" had pre-
viously been authorized by express
law.
Fourth. Some questions arising
out of the sudden termination O
the operations and organization O
the Freedmen's Bureau yet remain
to be settled with those who wer,
formerly subordinates and assist
ants to the Commissioner. Som
few erroneous payments made b,
honest subordinates, and som
others made Or not made by officer
now dead or cashiered for frau
remain to be adjusted. The ad
justment Of these matters belong
properly to the successors of Gen
Howard in the bureau, and in thes
matters, as in all others brough
to the notice of the court durin,
thirty-seven days of careful AM
laborious investigation, the cour
finds that General Oliver O. How
ard did his whole duty, and believe
he deserves well of his country.
The foregoing report and opinion
having been submitted, with tn
proceedings, to the President, tn
following are the orders thereon:
The finding of the Court of In
quiry is approved.

NENTAUR IMMINENT.
MpNv9

There is no pain which the Centaur Lini
ment will not relieve, no swelling it will
not subdue, and no lameness which it will
not cure. This Is strong Language, but 1t is
true. Where the parts are not gone, its eff
fects are marvellous. 1t has produced more
CUES of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock jaw,
palsy, sprains, swellings, cake-breasts,
scalds, burns, salt rheuIn, ear ache, ETC., up
on the human frame, and Of strains, SPAWN,
gals, ETC., upon animals in one year than
have all other pretended remedies since the
world began. It is a counter irritant, an
all-healing pain-reliever. Cripples throw
away their crutches, the lame walk, poison.
Gus bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without scar. It is
no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling as no article ever
before sold, and 1t soils because 1t does Just
what it pretends to do. Those who now SUI.
fer from rheumatism, pain or swelling de.
serve to suffer IL they will not use Centaur
Liniment. More than 1000 certificates Of
remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic rheumatism, govt, running tumOrs.
ETC., have been received. We win send q
circular containing certificates, the recipe,
ETC., gratis to any one requesting it. One
bottle OF the yellow wrapper Centaur Lin.
lment is worth one hundred dollars forspa
ined or sweenied horses and mules, or for
screw-worm in sheep. Stock owners, this
IMMINENT is worth your attention. No fam.
lily should be without Centaur Lniment.
