There is little for me to speak of in the
way of news from Bloomington and Monroe
county except the farmers movement, and
the address of Charles w. Greene, of Indi.
annapolis, on the 9Th instant. The granger
and farmers clubs have been in active oper-
alton in our county for the last eight months,
ana at least two Thousand persons have
united with the two organizations. which,
out OF q voting population of not more than
thirty-eight hundred, makes an element
which is not so feeble and insignificant as 10
be silently and inde6nently passed by. The
farmers of Monroe have it in their power
to say who shall be their servants this fall
and who shall not, il they only combine and
work harmoniously, The clubs contem-
plate making ticket, believe, and the
grangers, i am informed, do not intend to
meddle with politics. but simply intend to
vote for the men whom they in their judg-
ment think best. What will be done time
will tell. On last Saturday, Charles w.
Green, editor of the American Farmers Ad-
vocate, delivered an eloquent and able
address before the farmers of this county in
the court house. A large audience was in
attendance, and the best of order and atten-
ton prevailed. In the address, which was
quite lengthy, the speaker delivered
some telling blows at the evils of
the present time and the administra-
ton under .Thich we groan and labor. He
gave many practical suggestions for their i'm
provement and eradication. At the close of
the address, q call for meeting OF the farm
ess clubs and grangers on the 9th of June
at indianapolis was made, every vote being
for it, which will be sent to your columns.
Next Saturday was named as the day for the
clubs to meet and appoint delegates to attend
esrnest, and seem determined to push this
movement ahead. Yours, J. b.

BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY BOILING.


From an Occasional Correspondent OF the Sentinel.
CoLUMBUs, IND, May 1s, 1s74.-Herewith
send another large list of signers for the
call OF convention of reformers to meet in
this city on the 30th of May, at which time
delegates will be chosen to the 10th of June
convention at Indianapolis. This list makes
nearly 800 signatures sent from this county.
and still the work is going forward
with large lists coming in daily.
OF q one thing we feel assured,
whatever strength msy be developed by the
reforners in other portions of the state it is
a Il xed fact that this fall the voters Of Bar
thoFomew county will do work ofwhich
they may Justly be proud-that work will be
the complete rout and decentralization OF the
ssringsr and their candidates and the selec-
ton of men for office, not 'soffice
by men, as is too often the o case
as politics are now run. That the
movement is making itself felt in this yicin-
ity is manifest by the fear and trembling on
the part of the candidates already brought
before the people by the recent convention
held in this city. The majority OF the names
following are the names of old time demo
Gratis, but the movement is largely reducing
the ranks OF both the old palties. fFsa

Believing that the interest OF agriculture, the
wealth and prosperity of the state, and the pub
lie welfare would be promoted by an open and
general organization of the farmers of the state,
TO the end of securing fuller discussion and
more thorough understanding of the important
questions now sgitating the public mind. We
do therefore earnestly invite all clubs, oranges,
agricultural and horticultural societies, in
every county OF the state TO appoint and
accredit one delegate for each 100 members or
fractional part thereof to meet in general con-
vention on the eth day of May next, at Indian
apolis, for the purpose of organizing a State
Farmers Association. =. The successful work OF
the Illinois farmers Association in the de-
thronement of monopolies and the promotion OF
political reform attests the overwhelming and
irresistible power of cooperative and harmoni-
Gus action. We would suggest that the same
delegates may be accredited TO the convention
called for Junel0, as the objects Of both meet
ings are identical in letter and spirit

is tkis the same Senator Morton who so
recently told the Senate and the country, in
forcible and convincing words, that specie
payment had been a burden and hindrsnce
to all countries where il had been main
tsined, and the absence of it a help--that it
had invariably brought panics, for which
there was but one remedy, suspension?
This can hardly be the same Morton. III the
statement in the letter is correct, that the
vetoed bill was the first step in the direction
of specie payments taken by congress, then
let us thank the president for the veto.

The farmers movement is taking definite
form in Illinois. One great danger bessts
conventions of this kind: the probability
that they will be gobbled by few and un-
scrapulous md Willy politicians. If this
danger can be avoided, there is indeed a
good prospect that something will be unfor-
tunatefor the movement if some pronounced
action be not takan at the forthcoming con-
vention.

THE HOBOKEN SAVINGS BANK.

Notwithstanding the deficiency in the liabilities
OF this institution has been reduced by subscrip.
lions to the sum Of $1,000 the directors hold forth
no prospect OF a speedy reopening Of the doors
Mr.. shepherd, the President Of the bank, whose
name was an element OF strength, has resigned
andthe Rev. S. b. Dodd, brother-in.law Of the late
Il. L. Stevens, has been elected to fill the vacancy
But strange to relate not Of the directors has
yet resigned. On the contrary, those who
have lost pubic confidence seem deter
mined to hold out until some OF their
friends are provided for. 1t will scarcely be De-
lieved that they have elected new secretary dur
ing the week and fixed his bonds at the ridiculous
sum Of $40. 900. Although the former functionary
klenen, Is alleged TO have stolen more than
100000 the only guarantee that is given in the
case OF the new incumbent is $40, 600. The move is
looked upon as grim piece OF irony. 1t will only
make certain what before was proDable-the
speedy DOWNFALL OF the concern whenever it is re-
opened. The influence OF the few good men In the
Board is evidently powerless. The last sop thrown
to the vulturine enemies OF the bank will not work
half the charm that would be wrought by a sop to
common sense.
