We learn that the exhibition by the
members of the Lancaster Lyceum, was
very successful affair, both in point of
patronage and the general satisfaction
given by the players, who. though anna

adaptability to the requirements of the
stage. Want Of space forbids more ex-

Kent & Griswold are just opening a
large stock Of prints, cottons, dress goods
&C., which they are selling lower than ever
before. They have also just received
their new paper hangings and borders,
and can show the largest stock ever Of
fered in town.
All who drink tea or coffee, either for
health or pleasure, and particularly those
who find it difficult to obtain a uniform
good arttcls, should buy the Crown goods,
sold by R. P. Kent, Son & Co., and obtain
beautiful oil chrome as present with
each pound sold. Money refunded if the
goods are not as represented.
We call attention to the advertisement in
this issue of Messrs. Colby & Hamblen,

Throwing Stones.

An attempt is being made by Dem
ocratic journals to cast odium and dis
paragement on Col. Ingersoll, of Illi-
nois, who is soon to join in the cam
paign in this State. The attack is
made against his peculiar religious
views and that he is a blasphemous
man. Exactly what may be the relig
ious views of Col. Ingersoll we have
not the authentic means OF knowing,
and hence shall not do him the injus-
tice of giving him a creed in his alb
sence. But let the worst that may be
said of him in this respect be true,
what connexion exists between the
religious and political views of any
American citizen? Church and State
are forever separated in this country,
and does not the Constitution recog-
rize the right of every man ito wor-
ship God according to the dictates OF
his own conscience? What right,
then, has any citizen OF this Republic
to cast odium on another citizen be-
cause Of any peculiar religious views
he may hold? Certain Roman Cath
olics are actively engaged in this po-
litical campaign, but who is so unfair
as to attempt to prejudice the people
against the free expression OF their
political views because OF any pecu-
liar views they may entertain in re-
gard to the Virgin Mary, or Of the
flesh and blood of Christ, as typified
in the sacramento bread? Senator
Herman of New York may believe, for
aught that we know, that indulgences
in sin may be bought and sold, but
we should hesitate, on this account, to
refuse to listen to what he might have
to say on the present financial ques-
ton. So, Col. Ingersoll may, and
probably does, have SO called peculiar
ideas on the received Christian doc
trines Of to-day and il any one is GU
rious to know his reasons for these
ideas we believe that the Colonel
would instantly and most willingly
give them. Indeed Col. Ingersoll
claims-and we refuse to question his
sincerity he has examined all
these questions in the light and
strength Of his human reason, and
undoubtedly he brings the same test
to the examination of the political
questions OF the day. Whether rea-
son is a sufficient guide in deciding
the validity Of religious belief or not
is question not now to be discussed,
but who will dare deny that it is to
reason and reason alone, that we
turn in this hour Of political tumult
and doubt? Who is the most accept
able speaker, the man who appeals to
our reason in these matters, or the
man who appeals to our prejudice
and passion? That party shows its
own weakness when it would attempt
to lessen the force OF the argument
OF a speaker in this canvass by claim
ing that he will discuss all questions
in the calm light Of reason, candid,
fair, impartial human reasonl But
we have no fear for Col. Ingersoll-
he is amply able to take care of him

cause. He still again ardently sup
ported the 18th, 14th and 18th amend
ments to the Constitution when they
were presented to the people for
adoption, and has always been their
constant advocate and defender. And
yet again, he has shown his ability in
the way of reform by defeating, on
three occasions, Allen, Thurman and
Pendleton of Ohio, in the canvass for
governorship. These last efforts for
reform may not be Of the kind referr-
ed to by our political opponents, but
they speak loud praises to the patri-
otto hearts of American citizens.
How does Gov. Tilden's record of re-
form compare with this? The people
will express an opinion on that mat
ter in October and November.

The Campaign Republican.

The presidential campaign OF 1876
the centennial campaign-has fair
ly opened. The political cauldron is
boiling hot and the chances are that
its heat is yet to be increased. But
dnring all this excitement the REPUB-
LIoAN is going to keep cool. We be-
lieve there is time enough, during the
next three months, to take counsel
together and decide intelligently on
the real. live issues OF this campaign.
But in order to do this we must all
work together. we must all be able to
hear what is said, in other words, we
must all read. Without stopping to
answer the oft-made assertion that
everything printed in newspapers
during a political campaign is a lie,
we shall simply ask the reader, how
are you to determine the truth unless
you read? Newspapers are the great
disseminators OF news to-day-noth-
ing can compare with them-and it is
to them that all citizens are indebted
for their political intelligence Cam
paign speeches and documents are
very good means in popularizing the
political issues OF the day, but their
influence at the best Is only tempo
rary. 1t is to the newspaper, then, that
we must look for that calm, constant
discussion Of the politics Of to-day,
which is the most potent and lasting
in its effects on the vote. Men may
be moved to enthusiasm by listening
to stirring speeches, but the sober
facts which finally decide their ballot
they get from the weekly perusal of
newspapers. Fully convinced Of the
truth Of our position we are anxious
to carry 1t into effect, and we call on
all good citizens, irrespective of par
ty, to aid us in thus enlightening the
people on the few but great issues Of
this political canvass. We know that
these are "hard times" and we have
adapted the wants Of the people to
this fact by making the following Of
fer for the campaign: From date to
Jan. l, 1877--four months--we uiH
send the REPUBLICAN for the sum of
80 ce11tsi That is at the rate Of only
$1.5O a year.
We do this in order to place the
REPUBLICAN within the reach OF
every man, woman and child in
Marshall county. There are many
families in this county who are now
without any newspaper, and this Of
fer-makes it possible to place in their
hands county newspaper which
shall instruct them In the questions
at issue at the nominal price of 30 |
centsi Who cannot spare that amount |
Of money? Who does not admit that |
the offer is in keeping with the times2 |

Something for the ~reformers" in
this State to think about: In 1874
Uncle Jimmy Williams was nominated
for Congress in the Vincennes dis
trict, and at that time the Hon. j. r.
Cobb, Democrat, openly charged
that he secured the nomination by
bribing certain delegates from GER
tain counties by offering to pay their
hotel bills, sc. These counties are
Greene, Orange and Dubois and every
one of those delegates voted for him.
The Hon. Cobb knew whereof he
spoke and Uncle Jimmy never has
dared to deny the charge. The for
mer is now candidate for Congress
and the latter would like to be the

Indiana.

SALUTATORY.

With this number of the REPUBLI-
CAN we take full charge Of its editorial
and business management. In doing
so it Is necessary that we should
briefly state the position of the Re-
PUBLICAN and refer to some proposed
changes in its conduct.
First and foremost. the REPUBLICAN
will aim to be local newspaper in
the strict meaning of those words.
The local news of Marshall county
and this city is its legitimate field
and it will be given that prominence
which always belongs to the local
columns of county newspaper. The
main circulation of the REPUBLICAN
being among the farmers of this
county, the character Of its contents
will be chiefly determined by this
fact. We propose. therefore, to make
the REPUBLICAN family newspaper,
one which shall meet the varied wants
Of the homes Of the people. General
and even political matters will be
made subordinate to this, the chief
aim OF the REPUBLICAN. It's treat
ment of all questions will be high
toned and liberal and its conduct
candid and impartial.
In its political teachings the REPUB-
LIoAN will prove true to its name.
Without being the organ of any clique
or ring it will yet give its hearty and
intelligent support to the true and
original principles of RepubIicanism.
Without further promises we shall
leave the REPUBLICAN to speak for
itself. HENRY ID. STEVENS.

ney General OF this State. The fol-
lowing extract, taken from a speech
made by him when addressing VAL

serve to show the peculiar loyalty
of this gentleman during the war for
national existence:
~Sir, you stand in a peculiar atti-
tude before the world. Banished for
no other crime than that of loving
your country too well to cease your
labors in its service at the command
OF military despot, in your person
have been violated the rights and
honor OF every American. 1t was
your inalienable birthright under the
Constitution to discuss the political
questions and war-politics Of the day
1t was your duty as patriot to de-
'nounce the men who, with insidious
craft. had set up military despotism
over the liberties OF once free and
truly happy people. You enjoyed
your birthright as an American, you
performed your duty as patriot, and

power pronounced your exile"
