night cf Liee Holland and Andrew PIckern

ton of Miss Daisy Reynolds. the Wiltshire
(Ohio) school teacher. continues undated.
Reliable information reached here to-day
that about one hundred men of Wiltshire
and vicinity had organized and expected
to reach the city quietly by different roads
and make q raid upon the jail. About 2
o'clock this morning four spies from Will

noon, learned that Governor Hovey, on the
application of Sheriff Mcconnell. of this
county. had ordered the State militia to
guard the Jail. and also that the citizens of
the city would give any needed assistance
to resist violence. The spies left here
for Wiltshire early enough to reach the or
ganiZed mob before starting and give IN
formation as to the resistance to be- offered,
and the proposed lynching was postponed.
George Updegrapf, the alleged betrayer
of Miss Reynolds, who was ARRESTED at
Delphos. yesterday. was not put in jail in
his own county. but wac taken to Lima,
o., and incarcerated there In order to re-
move him from the reach of the mob. The
final trial of the prisoners Will not occur
until August. and fears exist here that the
Wiltshire community may accomplish the
constantly guarded. Sheriff McConnelleX-
pressed q determination to-day to have the
prisoners removed TO some county jail not
within reach of the threatened mob.

Farmers Diversifying Their Crops.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Nav 2A-For some time
the farmers of this county have been con-
sidering a change of crops, having in view
the object of a better income from their
farms. This subject was thoroughly dis
cussed at the farmers institutes held in this
county this year. and greater diversity of
crops will be the result of it. Two farmers
near ~Jonesville have each planted twenty
acres of potatoes. while several others have
turned q part of their attention TO the rais-
ing of broom-corn. Several others are
trying o few acres of navy beans. while
another will try to real some profit
from q small field of the castor bean. In
the western part of the county there will
be several who will embark in the tobacco
raising business. In the years of 1865 and
1866 tobacco was successfully raised In
Brown county in large quantities, and one
or two men who yet reside and do business
in thisc city made several thousand dollars
ON tobacco raised in Brown county alone.
Since that time the culture of tobacco In
Brown county died out and the stave bust
ness took it's place, but of late this business
has, on account of the scarcity of timber.
become Improbable. There are many
farmers who have grown tired OF raising
wheat and corn, and will likely be bene-
fitted by the change, and besides will ave

"SHINNING" THE TREASURY.
The Republican Plan of Dealing with the
Governments Creditors.


Governments Creditors.
Republican organs have exulted at
the facility with which their secretary
of the treasury has avoided the confess
sion of practically bankrupt strong
box. They call attention to the fact
that the maturing bonds have been met
with little effect On the gold coin held
in the treasury ana less on the actual
cash balance, as that fiction is stated
by department that has covered trust
funds into the common account to
make amends for extrava giant appro-
priations. But the organs are careless
ly edited. They publish to the world
a full confederation of the prophecies
made in these columns many months
ago. The Times called attention to the
real meaning of the declarations of Mr..
Foster and his subordinates when they
spoke of ''tiding over pinch" Then
it was unders TODD that the treasury de-
partment of the nation was to be man.
aged under the policy of ''shinning."
The open advice of the New York
Tribune was that the secretary might
avoid the barrassment thre atened
because of the billion-dollar congress
by a systematic policy of postponing
the payment of claims. The New York
organ advised the secretary as to the
best means for putting off the honest
creditors of the government. The sug-
gestion included delay in auditing
accounts, and further annoyance to
money seekers by an accommodating
store of unsigned checks.
In the columns of republican organs
may now be found proof that this adj
vice is being systematically and con-
scientiouSly followed. The statement
is unblushingly made that ito bridge
over the difficulty of a depleted treas
ury Secretary Foster has for few
weeks been refusing to promptly honor
acquisitions made by the war depart
ment'' The contractors for whom
these demands have been made need
their money. They have fairly earned
it, and yet are told they must await the
pleasure of the secretary of the treas
ury because of the political necessity
of maintaining fair cash balance till
after the fall election shall have been
carried by fraud by the party of moral
ity. The effect has been plainly stat
ed. The contractors, failing to receive
their due, have been forced to with
hold the wages due their workmen, and
thus the injury falls where it can be
most feebly borne. But there will be
no denunciation of this policy By the
