The Rev. DR.. Lorimer, of Boston,
tells story that while in Kentucky
he was invited to perform marriage
ceremony, and rode 10 or II miles
through mud and rain to unite the
pair. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony the mother of the bride offered
DR.. Lorimer a filled wine glass which
he declined, and said: "You ought
to be ashamed of yourself, Madame,
for offering these young people that
which may ultimately work their
ruin" The woman placing her arms
a-kimbo, said: "Look h'yar, Mr..
Preacher, you kim to marry this var
couple. You've married this var
couple. Now git.''

TAE Republicans of Indiana be

TAE Republicans of Indiana held
their State Convention at Indlanapo-
lis, Feb. 22d. 1t was a large, har-
monious and enthusiastic convention.
GoDLovE S. ORTIZ was nominated
for Governor, and Senator MORTON
endorsed for President. The plat
form contains many good points. 1t
declares in favor of specie basis,
but demands the repeal of that part
of the Resumption act which fixes q
day for resumption, and then asks
Congress to let the currency alone,
neither expanding or contracting
recites the truth that the Republican
party is friend of the greenback,
and the Democracy its enemy; it be-
lieves that the war for the Union was
right, and the rebellion wrong, and
that thus it should ever be recorded
In history; it denounces the expul.
sion of Union soldiers from theii
places in Congress, to make room fol
ex-rebels. Altogether it is ringing
document.

A GENERAL row in the Democrat
camp. is imminent. The currency
question is the bone of contention.
For weeks, at Washington, q COM
mittee has been at work in an at
tempt to patch up compromise, but
thus far without success. Indeed
every new conference upon the sub
ject seems only to have the effect to
widen the chasm. In the line of this
widening process the Cincinnati En-
quirer gives evidence. In view OF
the action of the Democrats of Con
neeticut in favor of the bullion side
of the question, the Enquirer re-
marks:
This is the most rascaIly and knavish
declaration put before the people this
year. Upon such platform we trust
that the Democratic party of Connecti-
cut will be ignominiously beaten.
The situation is becoming interest

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.
The Democrats and Their Money
Troubles.

The Democratic caucus Currency Com
mittee held Il long meeting yesterday,
and, having failed to agree on any line
of action, will meet tomorrow probably
for the last time. The soft-money mem
bers of the committee insist that they
are making a concession in giving lip all
propositions for imitation, and that the
unconditional repeal of the Resumption
Act of last year, which they proposed, is
really compromise. The hard-money
members of the committee went further
yesterday than in any previous meeting
i'm making concessions to their oppo-
nents. The proposition of Mr.. Payne,
In modified form, was voted down by
the soft-money men, and the hard-pon-
ey members of the committee left the
meeting in state of disbursement
and disgust. The result is evidently go
ing to be that the Caucus Committee
will report its inability to come to an
agreement to the House caucus, which
will be held in the present week. and
the contest will then be settled in eau
Gus. There are strong indications now
of scbism in the party. and that the
hard-money Democrats of the East will
separate from the Western and Southern
members and vote with the Republicans
in favor of son.e form of modern re-
sumption bill, and repeal of the act of
last year. That this act will be repealed
there can no longer be any doubt.

The State Grange of Patrons Of
Husbandry, in session at Cleveland
last week, adopted the following reso-
luton:
RESOLVED, That we, as Patrons
and citizens, will hold our representa-
tives individually responsible for all
prodigal expenditures of our moneys;
also, for some clear and concise law
that will equalize values throughout
the State of Ohio, compelling each
to bear its just burthen of taxation,
not excepting church or railroad
property.

The times demand economy, and
we rejoice to note that our Republi-
can General Assembly realize the i'm
portance of this demand. With this
object in view they have resolved to
abolish the Offices of Comptroller OF
the Treasury, Gas Inspector and
probably Railroad COMMISSIONER
The two first have never been of any
use to the State, and the duties oi
the latter can be, without injury to
the public service, transferred to
some other existing bureau.

AN impeachment wave is sweeping
over the Southern States. Whenever
the Legislature of any State encounters
a person in public Office of politics con-
trary to its own, it straightway proceeds
to inpeach him 'of high crimes and
misdemeanors." Gov. Ames, of Missis-
sippi, and Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana,
were thus proceeded against yesterday.
impeachment is a safe and convenient
method of disposing of political antag-
onists, and is therefore to be preferred
to pistols and revolution. If the White
Liners of Louisiana and Mississippi will
only take it out in impeaching, and sus-
pend their pistol practice for time upon
the poor negroes and Yankee school
masters, Southern politics" will be
improved.-Cin. Gazette, Of Saturday.
