Suicide of C. If. PraM, of State Line City, Iml. The circumstances connected vviih the rccent reported suicide of Charles 31. Pratt, of State Line city, are of such a character as to lead us strongly to suspect ho did not commit suicide, but was murdered. When Mr. Pratt left homo for Nashville, his wife accompa aicd him as far as Logansport, where slio was to remain until the return of Ivor husband. Pratt proceeded, and upon his arrival in Nashville, put M-PF at tho Commercial Hotel, where, it is reported, ho committed the act of violence. He held notes for some considerable amount on parties in Nashville, whither he had gone to recoive pay inent for the same, lie also lifmabout his porson a watch, and some money, neither of which were reported to liavo been about his person when found corpse. Neither could any clue to the notes or their equivalen'. be found. Ho was hastily and rudel3' buried without a Coroner's inquest being held over him, which facts, together with tho additional one that ho was thus buried before any despatch was sent to his friends, is strong circumstantial evidence that Pratt was murdered.
The throat of tho deceased was literally cut from car to car, and did not prosent tho appearanco it would be likely to, had he done it himself. Besides, there wero several considerable bruises about his face, indicating some other violence than, the use of the knife.
His satchel was nt tho room he occupied, and directed to his wifo at State Lino City, in a handwriting not his own. Had Pratt premeditatedly committed this act, he would have directed tho satchel to Logansport where his wifo was in waiting for him. All the circumstances of the case so far as we have been ablo to learn them, go to Bhow that Pratt was murdered in his room at tho hotel. Why was there not an inquest held over the body, as tho law, in such cases, requires? Why was lie buried so quickly ?—the weath er was cool—the body undecomposed. and nothing required such haste and illegal informality, except a fear that the guilty deed might be brought to light"by delay. Mr. Pratt belonged to the Masonic Fraternity, and the whole matter is likely to be investigated.— Such afoul murder as this evident!}' is, should be ferreted out, and tho perpetrators thereof be brought to justice, and we doubt not they will.
Dr. Osgood and Gen. Grant. In a New Year's article in tho Liberal Christian, Dr. Samuel Osgood rofers to the discourse delivered by him on Thanksgiving day, and, after a few words on general politics, comes out gquarely as follows for Gen. Grant: "The instinct of tho people moves in historical cycles, and they aro feeling now as never before, the great pulses of civic life that ha^o been swelling the veins of the nation for nearly ^in hundred j'ears. Ono Ad ministration of tho length of George "Washington's will bring us to 1876, the centennial of our national independence. Let us repeat, as nearly as we can. that Administration, and call to the Presidency the man who best represents the policy of that Father of our Country. As things look to me, 1 see one man who, be}Tond all others, upholds tho flag and bears tho sword of Washington, and is as ready as he was to submit that sword to the majesty of the law. and lift up that flag above the clutch 3f party spirit into the upper air of bravo and broad patriotism. I thought it proper, in the recent Thanksgiving sermoil in All Souls, church to express this conviction on tho grounds of Christian patriotism and am sure that the pastor of that church would havo done tho same. called no names then, but am willing to call a name now, and to say that General Grant seems to bo the provi dential man for our times. He has tho old fashioned Americrn instinct., and has done moro wise things and said fewer foolish things than any public man of our time. M}r word is of little weight in public matters, but every man should say his saj7 at the proper season. I may say this tfie more distinctly now, as meaning to keep out of the political arena, and Qnly use tho old-fashioned liberty of
Thanksgiving sermon and this note, which is its sequel.".
"Equal Taxation," "Pown with the National Bank monopoly!" are partisan war cries of tho so-called Democracy. As representatives of these ideas tho Democratic Convention of Indiana nominated Georgo II. Pendleton, for President, Thomas A Hendricks for Governor, and A. P. Edgerton for Lieutenant Governor, Lot us glanco at these figure heads of the In diana Democracy.
Mr. Pendleton is a stockholder and director in one of the National Banks *of Cincinnati. So much for his anti bank record. But ho meanly refuses to pay State and county taxes on his bank stock, on tho convenient plea that the law is unconstitutional. This is his commentary on the "time hon ored" Democratic doctrine of equal taxation.
Mr. Hendricks is a stockholder^ in a National Bank located in this city. •jWo guess ho will pay taxes on his bank 'fctoek, as Pendleton's Commentaries on the Constitution havo not been 'adopted by tho national bankers of this State.
Mr. Edgerton boasts of being the 'owner of 8198,000 of fivc-tweuty bonds Vand coolly testifies that he has dodged the incomo tax upon them for the last four years.
Are the}' not lovely candidates for a .party pretending to bo tho champion of equal taxation and the enemy of •National Banks.—Jnd. Jour.

Convention.
and abueo. Wc warned our readers
some time ago that lying would be tho principle feature in the Democratic programme at tho approaching Presidential election,-and tho course pursued by the leaders and press of that infamous party at this timo fully sustains our assertion. Andy Johnson, the head and front of the Democratic party, and his corrupt cabinot, finding they could not mould General Grant to their rebel purposes, have been
engaged in a foul conspiracy to sully
I a it to is a a the perfidious President, the Copper
heads have been employing pimps and spies to watch General Grant, and circulate reports that lie is a drunkard. This charge has been met by tho friends of the General, and not only refuted, but. pi oven to bo without tho least foundation. But the charge be repeated by every drunken bloat who happens to control a Democratic organ, and be urged against Grant, although free whiskey is tho next strongest plank in the Democratic platform to that of the -everlasting nigger." Take "whiskey amlnigger" from the Democratic platform, and it could not muster a corporal's guard. Tho people understand the base tricks of these Copperhead rebels, and at the Presidential election will administor to the unprincipled scoundrels such a rebuke as will send them howling into obscurity. If General Grant lives he will be the next President, despite the ravings of Andy Johnson or the calumnies of his Democratic allies.'
Grant vs. Johnson.
The rccent correspondence between Johnson and Grant, brought to light by A resolution of Congress, has given us one moro illustration of the character of his Acc'.dency at tho White House. It will be remomberod that after Grant turned tho War Department over to Stanton, statements, apparently vouched for by Johnsjn, were sent to tho loading papers in his support, to tho effect that Grant had broken his promise with Andy to do his bidding in the matter. Foi* these statements Grant called An ly to ac count in the correspondence published several days a^o from which we ob tain the following lact*
Soon aftor Grant accepted tho Sec retaryship at tho War Otlico, ad interim, Johnson called on him and asked him what course, in his opinion, Stanton would be compelled to take to get tho office back again if the Senate failed to sustain tho President in ro moving him. Grant, not having ex amined tho tenure of offico law at that time, thought his remedy would be through tho Courts, and so answered Johnson. Having carefully .examined tho law afterwards, however, ho plain ly saw that it would bo his duty to yield to Stanton, and on Saturday, Jan 11th, hearing tho Senate had taken the matter up for action, he called upon tho Presidont and informed him what ho thought his duty would be. Johnson, however, went into an argument to convince Grant that he waa not bound to recognize tho law of Congress, as he had removed Stanton by virtue of the authority of tho article he scattered so freely on his trip to Chicago, namely, tho Constitution. This interview was the occasion of tho correspondence, Johnson stoutly as-
sorting
Now thlrt the nomination" of that! has fallen. Tho little hero was too incomparable hero, General GRANT, AS faithful to the laws to permit himself the candidate of tho Union Republican caught in that trap, and wo can party for President is a foregone con- easily picture to oureolvos the wrath elusion, tho Copperhead press havcj

hold on to the War Oflico against the claims of Stanton, and Grant very quio'tly and firmly asserting that he promisod no such thing. For bur part we desire no better proof that Grant is right, than Johnson's assertion that ho is not.
Tho conduct of Johnson in this transaction shows plainly a snoaking and malignant desire on his part to do two things. First, to involve General Grant in a direct violation of a law of Congress which has a heavy fine and imprisonment attached thereto and, second!}', to injure his character for truth, and thereby shako the confidence of the loyal people in him. As to getting Grant involved in a violation of law, that was moro than the shrewd cunning of A. J. could do.— And in this baso attempt ho has onl}showed how willing and anxious ho is to drag every loyal, law-abiding citi zen with whom he comes in contact, down to tho infamous depths to which

When he makes tho American people beliove that Grant has liod, it will re quire moro evidence than that of himself and the fossilized members of his venal Cabinet.. This is not tho first jtimc his Accidency has resorted to the ^.jjl flimsy subterfuge of falsehood. It has becomc his last resort in every "misunderstanding" with honest mon, and to-day, if a handsome present wero offered tho man who most deserves the titlo of -'Father of Lies," Johnson wuuld poll tho heaviest vote ever cast for any man in America.
We aro glad this correspondence camo to light. Thcro are somo men, who are never satisfied with actions, but must havo loquacious declarations of fidelity. Grant has never done an act that has not pointed directly to sound Ilopublicanism, ar:d yet there aro some timorous souls v.ho have waited and listened for words. To all such, wo can heartily commend this correspondence, which shows how ut terly opposed to Johnson his policy, and how much in sympathy with Congress and tho people General Grant now is. This foul and base attempt to injure Grant, has"not only rebounded to tho further disgrace of tho recreant President, but has placed Gen. U. S. Grant nearer and more firmly in the hearts of the people.
Correction.
In Saturday's issue of tho Indianapolis Journal we find a communication from this place, indorsing John A. Finch for Reporter of the Supreme Court, in which the author saya he "fools authorised to say that Montgomery county will give him asolidvoto." Now wo havo taken some pains to en-| quire of the delegates to tho State Convention, and wo ''feel authorized to say" that "L. L." has made a very sorious mistake. Tho delegation from this county will not only vote solid for its own candidate, Mr. Kennedy, but will uso every honorable endeavor to secure his nomination. We have scon the names of some very promising young men in connection with this office, but none as yet, who arc so weM qualified for tho discharge of its duties. or have tho claims to the favorable consideration of tho Convention which the long years of party service give Mr. Kennedy. We make this statement for fear tho communication above mentioned may mislead some, persons abroad. ,• •. .U:

In tho Supremo Court Associate Justice Nelson announced an elaborate opiuion in the case of tho State of Georgia .igainst Secretary Stanton, General Grant, and Major General Popo, praying, for reasons sot forth in the petition, that they may be restrained from doing certain acts contemplated by the Reconstruction laws. The court dismissed tho bill, for the reason that it presents a political qcestion, and therefore does not properly fall under its jurisdiction. This opinion, tho Justice said, was also applicable to similar petition of the State of Mississippi,
For Superintendent of Public Instruction. To tJie Editor of the Ind. Journal:
Wc find in tho daily State Journal the following endorsement of Barnabas C. Ilobbs, President of Earlhain College, for the office of Stato Superintendent of Public Instruction, from the pen ol Prof. Caleb Mills, of Wabash College. Prof. Mills has long boon identified with the educational in forests of the Stato, and an endorsement from him will doubtless have its influence in the selection of a candidate for that office:
As tho prosent Superintendent of Public Inslrustion has declined to be a candidate, the interests of our school system demand that that office should bo filled by a man of educational an tecedents, of rich and unquestionable character. 1 know of no one in our commonwealth, in the prime and vigor of life, with a richcr expcrier.ee or a moro thorough acquaintance with the practical operation and details of our educational sys'-em, than Barnabas C. Ilobbs, President of Farlham College. Richmond. He would bring to the discharge of tho varied duties tho wisdom and practical knowledge of twen t-y five years' labor in tho educational field. If the people of Indiana desire his services in this department, lo«. ihcm say so at the ballot-box. and such a call, I havo no doubt, would so indicate to him the path of duty that he would not feel at liberty to disregard the summons, and thus wo should secure the labors of one eminontly qualified for tho position.
No other motivo has prompted this suggestion of his namo than an earnest desire to see that offico filled by a gentleman competent to its variod duties and high responsibilities.

CALEB MILLS.
From the Indiannpo^.c Journal. Sankcr filcndricks. In his speech before tho 8th of Jan
Convention, the Democratic nominee for Governor &uid "1 ho system of national banks waft a stupendous folly. The security of tho bill holder is in tho bonds on deposit in the Treasury, upon which the Government pays in tere'st. If the government fur nishes the security in its own credit, why not issue the treasury notes directly, and thus save tho interest?" if the national bank systom is a stupendous folly, why does not Senator Hendricks mako a move in Congress to break it up Ho is a Senator of the United States, and is claimed by his friends to he the most talented and influential member on tho Democratic side. Why, then, has he not introduce ed a bill-to abolish tho national banks? Ho found time t,o prepare and deliver a nino column speech to vindicate the superiority of Southern rebels over negroes, but he lacks leisure or inclination to move tho repeal of a law which he stigmatizes as an act of''stupendous folly."
Does Mr. "Hendricks cxpect the antibank Democracy of Indiana to repose faith in his declaration of hostility to banks if he continues to keep silont upon the subject in the Senate
We know as well as he does, that when he made the remarks we have quoted to tho Convention, there was no sincerity in them. He was simply talking for buncombo, and supposed that the Democracy would bo content with a mere lip eervico froai him in
their crusade against tho banks but it has sinco como to bo understood among them.lhat he is tf large stockholder in the First National Bank of Indianapolis, and they will require more tangible evidence than he has yet given of opposition to a Bystem that adds to his gains. "V

You are, we know, an accomplished professor of the science of humbug, but you can't draw the wool over the eyes of'your Democratic constituents on the bank question, even if you do uso "nigger" wool.
Gen. Manson and the American Bible Society.

Manson, and solicited of him a contribution to ns sist in furnishing the Bible to the poor and destituto of the country. General peremptorily refused to tvr. tribute a farthing and not conte with his refusal, proceeded to stato his reason, which, when fully summed up. was that tho spread of tho Gospel is inimical to the success of the Demo cratic party. Comment is unnccos sary."

[Applause.] We aro told, Mr. Chairman, by the great dramatist, that some men are born great,'some achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them. Looking through the history of the hero of this war, we need find no difficulty in placing Gen. Grant upon this list. [Cheers.] Sure ly when we remember his history, we can not concludo that he was born great. Born in humble life, tho son of a fanner, as wo are told, himself raised to that trade. Not in humble life would wo look for the man who was to lead the combinod armies of the United '-States to victory. No! General Grant was not born great: but he achieved tho greatness foi which we honor him.
