THE DEMOCRAT. W-"--- -f.gr"? ■—■ ; . ■ - ■ - HYB. BAY WIjLJL.IA.UB t*UA; $l5O a Yaak is AdvaxC* 9BCA TUR, INDIANA, Thursday, March 10, 1881. —Gakyield said not a word about Chinese immigration in his inaugural address. —At last the Indiana Legislature has done some business. Yesterday it appropriated $75,000 to pay for its services during the extra session. —Angus Cameron was yesterdayelected U. S. Senator from the State of Wisconsin to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Carpenter. —The Gazette says that in the interest of economy ths amendments should carry. Should they carry we will have a registry law. That s economy! The <;«*€««■ has learned chaps on its staff, indeed. —There are only ten thousand applieations for office hanging on the hook for President s Gabi ield s consideration. Among that ten thousand we presume can be found one signed by our worthy townsman and coteinporary B. W. Shouty. — One of the chief conspirators that robbed ten thousand people of one state of their right of suffrage and the country of its lawfully elected president was on last Friday inaugurated president himself. His innermost soul must have been a burning fire of shame and guilt as he took the oath of office. —The Indiana legislature is now convened in extra session. The chances are that another sixty days will be used to purposes worse than useless, for the present legislature is certainly the most outrageous abertion on general assemblies in many years. The truth is, they have done worse than nothing, for had they done nothing the people would lose nothing save the salaries paid them. Several days of their regular session were consumed in discussing the “propriety" of raising the speaker’s salary. This, of course, was veryimportant to the people. —The new administration has entered upon its duties. The inaugural address of Gen. Garfield is a very readable document. It is not to say tame, and neither is it aggressive. It is mild and lamb-like, but that don't necessarily foreshadow what the policy of its author will be. The cabinet is weak, extremely so. The selection of young Lincoln for so important a place as the secretaryship of war is not only weak but it is silly. A poorer, weaker selection could not have been made. The selection of Windom is another bad one. He is called to the head of the treasury department, the most important of all the cabinet offices. He is a cititen of the state of MinneMta, a state that repudiated its honest debts. There is no record or evidence of any character to show that Windom opposed the action. Kirkwcod, secretary of the interior department, is a fair selection. He is known to be a hard worker and will doubtless succeed better than did his predecessor, SciP RZ. | Blaine, secretary of state, is not such an appointment as a profound statesman would have made. The other appointments, Hunt at the head of the navy, James as postmaster general and j McVeagh attorney general, all compare 1 favorably with the ether appointments, 1 not so weak, of course, as Lincoln and t Windom, but not such a class of men aa a statesman would have called into 1 his counsel chamber. Many of the t leading Republican papers of the eoun- ii try, including the Indianapolis Journal, o are thoroughly disgusted with the new f cabinet, but they will have to pat up i with it for all have been confirmed. v

Uayes and Garfield. Rutherford B. Hayes is out of office. He is unquestionably the most despicable creature, haring the sense of manhood, in America—the most despicable, because he has been the chief beneficiary of a great crime which the English language in all its wealth of words is utterly incapable of describing— a eouglomerate crime, an aggregation of crimes rolled into a great muss, in which may be seen the villainies of the darkest shades. It was the perpetration of these crimes which placed Hayas in the office of President and made the crime of a fraundulcnt President possible. Hayes retires and takes I with him all the odium and infamy which righteously attaches to the crime —and the longer he lives the more clearly will his perfidy appear. Woo is hie successor? James A. Garfield, a prominent co-worker with the Repub- I liean scoundrels who elevated Hayes to power—a man who went to Chicago professedly in the interest of Sherman and came away with the prize which hie treachery had won. Such is the man who succeeds Hayes, and who, if his vwu party organs are tc be believed,; was, by his participation in the celebrated Credit Mobilier and De Golyer frauds, unfit for any public position whatever. What the course of such a man will be in the office of President ■o one can foretell. He may be hon*»t, but his past reford is against him.

He may be patriotic rather than parti- . san, but there is nothing iu his public record to warrant such a conclusion. Every profession of his public life, indicative of regard for the public welfare and appreciative of official integrity, has been contradicted by his votes and practices. lie enters upon his official duties with his public character • deeply and foully stained. That it will , improve under the influences of Republican bosses, who will surround him and coach him, is hardly expected. That his Administration will be something better than a curse or a calamity is devoutly to be hoped for, while there is absolutely nothing in his public record calculated to dispel the gravest apprehensions. — Sentinel. * Speech which Every Man Should Read. [New York Sun.] We have taken pains to procure, by ' telegraph, from Washington, the full • text of Mr. Conkling’s speech in the Senate day before yesterday. It is a most remarkable speech; remarkable considering about whom it | is spoken, who spoke, and what is said j The leading Republican Senator of the United States was discussing a proposition to refund to another Republican, who has occupied the office of President during the past four years, a little less than four thousand dollars which this President de facto paid out of his own pocket for the expenses ot , certain individuals who went South to manipulate election returns in his favor. And what does this leading Republi- , can, Senator Conkling, say on the subject? He says it would be “making an appropriation worse than unlawful; . he says the measure “does involve the question whether gentlemen requested to go as tourists, not as Commissioners with law, but." as he believes, “without law on an errand not tolerated eith-: et by the Constitution or by any law which obeys it—whether they are to be paid under the guise of expenses to them, or upon the allegation that the President has paid this money out of his own pockets. Then Mr. Conkling goes on to threaten. if the appropriation is insisted upon, to discuss and expose the whole matter, with the plainest possible intimation that it will be very damaging to the persons concerned. The allegation that this money was paid out of Mr. Haye's own pocket takes away from him the last vestige ■ of defence-the apology that he was not an active participator in the foul conspiracy which placed him in office, i Yes, Hayes himself supplied the oil i for the torch which burnt up the hon- ; ' est returns that made his oppenent, Sam- , uel J. Tilden, the rightful President \ of the United States. Let him go guilty conspirator to his home in Ohio, with his hundred and fifty thousand dollars of savings iu his miserly pock- ; ets, and covered with infinite shaiKJ and dishonor! The world will look upon the truthful portrait, a glimpse of which has been given, just before his departure from Washington, by the acknowledged leader of his owu party. And now what has Mr. Roscoe Conkling to say for himself ? Knowing four i years ago, all the particulars of the ' stupendous crime through which 1 Hayes was entering the White House, ! loathing that crime, as this speech i shows he must have loathed it, why were his lips shut, why was his voice hushed? He cannot have loved his par- i ty better than his country; but,alas, he I 1 hesitated, and the grand opportunity of , his life, such an opportunity as come ' to few. was forever lost! Had Mr. Conkling then broken t loose from party trammels; had he ‘ thundered the truth from the capitol i in such a speech as be was capable of on such a subject, he would have made for himself a most exalted and endur- I ing fame. The hearts of the people, without distinction of party, would have become his warm and hospitable habitation; Samuel J. Tilden, the ' rightful President, would have been inaugurated four years ago, and this o day Roscoe Conkling would have f been inaugurated as his successor. j a —— —— - ’ u
