Politics in Orange County.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
ORLEANS, March l3.--Political matters are
beginning to take tangible shape in this county.
The Democrats held a mass convention at Paoli
on last Saturday. The principal interest cen
tered in the iudgeship, the contest being be-
tween Francis NJ Wilson, of Bedford present
incumbent, and John W. Buskirk, of Blooming
ton. The convention instructed for Mr. Bus
kirk Judge Wilson's friends are exceedingly
hostile and forcible in their assertions of trick
cry, etc. It now seems that Buskirk will secure
the nomination.
Republicans are looking upon the quarrel of
he Democracy with complaceney, confident
hat they can bring out man who will be
elected. The man most prominently mentioned
is Hon. William Farrell, of Paoli He is ac-
knowledged by all parties to be a man emf
nently qualified for the Office His abilities as a
lawyer are second to no man in the district,
and he is a dgnifed, temperate and honorable
gentleman Mr.. Farrell does not ask for the
nomination, and it is not known that lie would
accept it. However, strong demand is being
made 10y friends in all of the counties to have
him do So

Colors in Relation to the Hair.

Aft Amateur.
Colors favorable to the complexion are not al
ways favorable at the same time to the hair, but
flowers and other ornaments will usually supply
the remedy Black hair has its depth and bril-
hancy emphasized by scarlet white or orange
flower; but dull red near it tends to render it
dull and brownish by extension, that is. by i'm
parting portion of its own hue, we'll known
effect in some colors in certain connections, on
others in immediate contact with them. In light
brown hair, light blue serves to bring out the
golden tint very effectively if in contact with
very near it. For a darker brown light blue is
also good color, if in quantity. In
smaller proportions deep blue does
very well. If it be a little dull or dingy,
a pale yelowish green will be found serviceable.
With those who had auburn hair it used to be
the rule to put a scarlet flower or ribbon against
it if it was considered to be little too decidedly
inclined toward red OF late the golden rod has
been in vogue and, instead of seeking to coun-
teract the reddish tendency blue flower with
pale green leaves or some corresponding orna-
ment has been employed to enhance it. Purple,
employed carefully, may be used to advantage
occasionally Purple also agrees well with
faXen locks; but with these very little color is
best, and that should be selected according to
the peculiar shade of the hair. Blue enhances

TILLER CAPTURED.
The st. Louis Express Robber Arrested, and
the Stolen Money Recovered.

MILWAUKEE, March 13-Prentiss Tiller, the
Pacific Express Company's agent at St Louis,
who decamped with nearly 100000 few weeks
ago, was arrested at 10 o'clock this morning, by
a Milwaukee detective, and $50, 900 in money re
covered. young man looking like a tramp,
with a small mustache, brown hair slight build,
unobtrusive features, and about 135 pounds in
weight, bought a trunk at the store of Carpet &
Schram, on Tuesday, and asked to have it
shipped to G. H. Pachen, Detroit, Mich. He left
valise, which he asked to have placed inside
the trunk, to save him the trouble of carrying it,
When about to put the valise in the trunk the
clerk dropped it and the clasp burst asrnder.
the bullying contents rolling out upon the floor
On gathering up the bundles he found them
wrapped in the Pacific Express Company's
labels, and closer examination disclosed that
every package contained a prize, the total amount
ingto nearly 800 00O The police were notified and
with description of the man traced him to a
cheap clearinghouse in the third ward, but he
was not at home. They found his trunk and
seized it, as the clearinghouse keeper said the
man was frequently out all night. The police con-
tinued searching the city, thinking he must be
on a spree. This morning he returned to the
rested. He has been at the Third-ward board
ing-house since March s, but it is not known
whether or not he boarded anywhere else before
that. Besides the money there was large
amount of valuable jewelry in the valise The
money was placed in the Merchants Exchange
Bank
The arrest caused great crowd to gather at
the Central police station, but the prisoner was
carefully guarded and could be interviewed
only briefly. He was loud in saying he had no
accomplice, but at the same time added that it
remained for the company 20 prove
that he stole the money He was
very happy and proposed the police
should close the doors and charge the crowd an
admission price to see him, as a curiosity. He
was identified by Chicago and st. Louis agents
who were in the city, having been called up from
Chicago when the money was found yesterday.

ST.. Louis, March 13-Inquiry of the Pacific
Express Company officials here regarding the
arrest Of the man at Milwaukee, this morning
supposed to be Prentiss Tiller throws very little
light on the matter They are very reticent, and
little information can be obtained. 1t may be
said, however, that officials and detectives here
believe that after the robbery Tillers accomplice
took charge of the plumber, which, he being
stranger, was easily taken out of the city The
arrangement evidently was that the accomphce
should divide the spoils and send Tiler's portion
to him by express to Milwaukee, addressing him,
of course, in an assumed name. Tiller reached
Milwaukee on the morning of the Sth, but there
made the troublesome discovery that he had for
gotten the name he was to assume in inquring
for the express package. In this emergency he
telegraphed to McFadden, at Sherman, Tex,
asking what was the name the valise was to
bear. The telegram was intercepted and
McFadden, who had already been located, was
carefully watched to determine whether he
would answer. He did not, and his arrest oc-
Cured a few hours later. Meanwhile the
express authorities hero were notified, and, on
Tuesday evening, a detective started frcm here
for Milwaukee. 1t would appear that Tiller
succeeded in recalling the name he was to
assume and got possession of the valise before
the detective arrived, but met with disaster
few hours afterward through the trunk
when it was said the whole detect
i've force of Milwaukee were looking
for him, knowing him to be in town. The ex-
press officials here will not acknowledge or deny
that the arrested man is Tiller
A dispatch from Sherman, Tex, says McFad-
den was taken before the court, this morning,
when his counsel moved to quash the proceed
ings, and the case was continued till this after
noon Steps have been taken to obtain a re-
QUESTION from the Governor for McFadden and
the papers will probably godown this evening
such person in that city as G. H. Pachen, to
whom Tiller directed the trunk shipped from
Milwaukee. The presumption here is that it is
the assumed name of Tiller himself, and that he
intended to call for the trunk here.

The Merits of the Fltz John Porter Case.

The Merits of the Fitz John Porter Case.
Lafayette Courier.
With all the rascally juggling of orders which
has characterized Fitz John Porter's presenta-
ton of his case, with all the foreshortening in
maps and falsehood about the darkness of the
night, etc. the fact cannot be obscured that if
he had been half as loyal TO Pope as Longstreet
was to Jackson the latter would have been ut
terly crushed the Army of the Potomac and the
people Of the North would have been cheered by
glorious victory, and the war would have been
shortened year. Because he did not do this
because he did not perform his duty as a soldier
in great emergency the old copperheads c and
gress propose to insult every loyal soldier in the
country by restoring him to the army with a
rank greater than the mass of officers who per-
formed inestmable services during the war and
a free gift of 500, 900. If this is done it will
be an infinite outrage.

The G. A. r. and Politics.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis journal;
do not deny saying in Chicago, last week,
something with reference to the Grand Army of
the Republic of Indiana being regarded as an
order influenced by political managers. As pub
lished in the Inter Ocean, the reporter has unin-
tentionally got these remarks somewhat
mixed. He was seeking opinions on different
subjects connected with Indiana politics, Demo-
cratic as well as Republican, and our CONVERSE
ton covered good deal of ground and out of
the mass of it he summed up a general state
ment On the question of probabilities of NOM
nations for Governor by the Republicans,
said the machine politicians, owing to some OBJ
jeetonal points relative to temperance made
against one of the prominent candidates. had
lately brought out distinguished gentleman
who had fine record as a soldier, and were
blooming him; that old soldiers, as we'll as
active politicians, were forcing this boom, which
mad caused some to charge that the Grand Army
of the Republic was being used to help on
the movement; that many Democrats regarded
this order as that could be used for political
purposes, but about that knew nothing, further
than such Democrats as belonged to 1t had dis
claimed tl& fact l did not make the statement
that the order was an nti-prohibitory concern.
for that would have been absurd, in view of my
knowledge that such men as Captain Eli <. Kit
ter and Major James r. Ross, who hold antago-
nistic views on that question are both active
members of the order. That part of my CONVEX
sation referred directly to active county political
workers, and not to members of any society or
order.
The Grand Army of the Republic, I am as
sured by those connected with it as officers and
members is not political organization, and is
so guarded by regulations that not only prevent
its being so used but exclude from membership
shams and pretenders, who to the true soldier,
are more obnoxious than the stay-at homes.
Such an organization of comrades of the march,
camp and battlefield in the great war for
the Union kept free from party influences,
is rather to be commended and encouraged than
disparaged by those who have no claims to mem
bership. Its work, now being commenced. to
secure means to build the soldiers monument at
the State capital should meet the approval and
support of all citizens.
If had not other information on the subject,
the statement alone of so good soldier as Ben d.
House would have been sufficient to have disabused
my mind, had had any false ideas of the order;
but think he might have come to the 'front.'
with little less Of vinegar. But I do not blame
him for striking back at what seemed to be q
blow at an institution which he holds in such
high estimation AUSTIN H. BROWN.

Lasker and the American Hog.

Bismarcks action in the Lasker incident was
taken almost the same day the commission on
the American hog product made its report fully
generating the hog from the charges that had
been made against it and upon which charges
Bismarck had excluded the product from Ger
many The delay in the passage of any retalia-
tory measure by Congress was owing to the
determination to first be possessed of the au-
thentic information which the commission was
empowered to obtain and report. The report is
now before Congress and the return of the
Lasker resolution has served to revive interest
in the several proposed retaliatory laws, The
prospect is that after the Lasker matter is dis
posed of retaliation will be considered
