Wednesday morning, and for Tho corresponding
Tine last year:
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1877-03-01
Give US q Rest.

Representative Davis called on The
REPUBLICAN last Saturday. He thinks
that there will of necessity be a
special session OF the Legislature.
Many bills of Importance are JUST
through the hands Of committees ana
must be consigned to oblivion WITH
out an extra session. There are 400
and some odd bills offered and IL
would doubtless be blessing to the
state il 400 Of them would go TO
oblivion. With all due respect to the
gentleman representing this county
il may be said that when man gets
into the legislature he becomes In
sane on the subject OF law making.
The country is cursed with too muck
law now, and yet We are to have the
usual batch Of Acts hurled out upon
US, the principal part OF which are
meaningless, and useless. Take for
example bill that occupied the at
tention OF the Senate for two or three
days, providing that married women
should be the equal in every respect
with their husbands, SO far as person
al rights and the rights OF property
are concerned. 1t was a silly unnec-
essary measure, gotten up by some
crack brain, for no earthly reason,
other than that Of gratifying the
mania for law making. 1t had It's
buncome advocates who spoke Tor IT,
But finally Senator Reeve spoke
against it and made it appear in its
true ridiculous light so that on vote
1t had only two or three votes. Other
crack brains have introduced bills OF
frivolous or hurtful nature, until the
immense number mentioned above
has been reached.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1877-03-01

On last Sunday evening Luther Benson de-
livered temperance lecture at Jefferson
vile. After speaking for about thirty min
utes he completely broke down, his voice
choked, and sorrow and suffering were
written upon his face. The whole audience
wept and sobbed in sympathy. The audience
rushed about him, and almost bore him
from the house in their arms. A special
prayer was called for him, about thirty men
and women taking part in it. Mr.. Benson
went in with them. and remained, and be-
ing prayed for, for more than an hour. He
then arose to his feet, exclaiming, My
misery is gonel' Tears ofjoy rained down
his cheeks, and he fairly shouted glory 10
God. He then related his experience. say
ing that God had pardoned his sins
and taken away from him all desire to drink.
He says that which stung him to the
heart for long years gone; that the demon
that has made earth terrible hell 10 him
has also disappeared. The most remarkable
part of his conversion is the removal of the
desire to drink. 1t has now been more than
a week since he has had a particle ola desire
for stlmulants, although just coming off OF
a spree when as he says his appetite has
heretofore been the iercest. All those who
were in the prayer meeting with Mr.. Ben
son bear testimony to his sincerity. and say
that 1t is the most clear and bright CONVEX
sion in all its manifestation that they ever
witnessed. Mr.. Benson was in the city yes
terday on his way to Pittsburg, where he
will lecture, and on his return will accom-.
pany Judge Cyrus l. Durham on cam.
paign against intemperance in this state.

A Remarkable Operation in Surgery.

Doctors Matchette and France Of
Bourbon, performed surgical opera
ton last week which was most re-
markable in it's results. The opera
ton consisted In the amputation OF
the leg OF an octogenarian at point
within two inches Of the thigh joint,
and the complete recovery OF the
patient. The patient was Aron Porter
who lived seven miles east Of Bourbon.
For the last forty years he has been
a sufferer from scrofulous assesses
which had completely used up one
of his thighs. Carries had also de-
stroyed the bone and the least jar
would cause it to crumble like piece
of clay. 1t took him at least thirty
years Of the forty to make up his mind
to submit to amputation, but under
the terrible ordeal he showed him
selfquite q hero. The surgeons above
named were finally directed to per.
form the amputation, which they did
in a most skillful and speedy manner
They felt that it was almost certain tC
resultin death, the great age and con
tinual suffering of the patient having
reduced his vitality and recuperativ'
powers to a very low state. But thu
hazard of the operation was the onl,
chance which the old man had To-
life, and all parties went at the worl
with full understanding OF the prob
abilities Of a fatal result. In thirt,
minutes after the performance of tn,
operation the old gentleman rallied
and expressed himself as perfect,
relieved from pain. He joked with tn,
physicians, and calling to his wife said
"Now old woman pay the doctors fol
fixin up observation-disclosures old leg.
hated to part with it too for it ha
done me good service when l wa
courtin', to say nothin' OF the numbe
OF lightning rod men, patent righ
men. and book agents it has go
away with" He rested well the en-
suing night and declared ait was tn
first night OF sound sleep he had hae
for forty years." The old man is doini
we'll to day, and owes his life to Tia
skill of the two gentlemen who 8,
efficiently performed the operation
THE REPUBLICAN takes great pleasur
in noting this evidence Of splendi,
professional success of home talent

Betting Bucks.

Two men living near Maxenkuckee,
Barnet Adamson and James Wiley,
made a curious wager on the Presi-
Dental election. If Tilden was elected
Adamson was to drive over and de-
liver to Wiley fine buck sheep; and
il Hayes was elected Wiley was to
drive his fine buck sheep over and
deliver it to Adamson. The two men
owned fine bucks, each probably
worth $25, and the wager was the
cause Of great sport in the neighbor-
hood. On Monday morning as Mr..
Adamson was starting for Plymouth,
he heard some one calling to him,
and pretty soon Wiley came up the
lane driving his buck. The animal
was turned into Adamson's field and
there was soon a fierce battle in pro-
gress between the bucks. They would
come together like the earthquakes
shock, and with every thump Wiley
swung his hat and hurrahed for Tilden.
The buck that had been Wiley's was
finally victorious. Wiley rejoiced
thereat, but Adamson claimed that II
was a Hayes victory, inasmuoh as the
buck was representation Of Hayes
election. It would require an electoral
commission TO decide this knotty ques-
ton.

Taxing Church Property.

We have heretofore in our columns adj
vocated the policy of taxing church prop
erty, now that new bill looking to that
end has been introduced in the State Leg
islature, Ii has good time to reopen the
question. We are glad to see that ma
jority of the press in favor of taxing this
class of property, and hope sufficient infiu-
cnce will be brought to bear to insure the
passage of the bill. The indianapolis
Journal has the following able article on
the question.
The strong arguments in favor of taxing
church property are, first, that the theory
of our government Is that all property
which enjoys the protection of the govern
ment should contribute To its support. The
question of taxation Is one Of business, not
of sentiment. AS general rule there Is no
class of property better able to pay its share
of taxes than church property, and 1t will
take sharp scrutiny to- discover any reason
in the nature of things why il should be
exempt. Second, the exemption of this
class of property from taxation is in some
sense violation ofthe constitutional pro-
visions that mo man shall be compelled
to attend. or erect any place Of worship
against his consent" The exemption OF
church property from taxation compels
other property to make up the deficit
caused by such exemption, and thus com
pels large class of taxpayers to contrib
ute indirectly to the support of churches
against their consent. Every dollar that the
revenue loses by exemption of church prop
erty has to be made up by other property
We are not at present prepared to say
what the aggregate value of the church
property in this state is. but it is very large,
and its exemption from taxation increases
the burden on'other property just so much
Thus Protestant taxpayers are forced to
contribute indirectly to the support OF
Catholic churches, and vice versa, while
those who do not believe in churches are
obliged to contribute to the support ofall.
However admirable this may be from a
sentimental or ethical point or view, it is
hardly defensible on legal and constitu-
final grounds.
