The Eagle. OFFICIAL CARER OF THE COUNTY. dexvTir, iaihaaa, FRIDAY, SEPT. 21, 1569. THE fIEWS.J The National Intelligencer made its appearance Monday morning. It is thoroughly Democratic. Prussia will not use the Trench Atlantic Cable, in consequence of French espionage of dispatches. Abrams, the accomplice of Mrs. ” Clem in the Young murder, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Advices from prominent Democrats in Pennsylvania express the greatest confidence in the election of Packer for Governor. The advocates of women's suffrage are making preparations for a gigantic suffrage convention at Washington, tb be held early in the coming session of Congress, to be followed by petitions to thatbos- - their immediate recognition as voters. Dispatches from South America announce the defeat of Lopez, the capture of his principal strongholds, the dispersion of his army, and the utter inability of Paraguay, to continue the war. A provisional government has been formed at Ascunsion. Governor Walker, of Virginia, was inaugurated on Wednesday. I The legislature meets on the sth of October. It has informally agreed to 'do nothing but ratify the Fifteenth Amendment. The Conservative papers oppose the election of a U. S. Senator at that time. A formidable conspiracj’ to overturn the Mexican government, and seize a train of nearly §3,000,000 in specie, with Negrete at the head, has just been discovered and suppressed. The leader escaped, but a large number of his subordinates have been arrested. The Sioux City Times says four wood choppers were murdered by Indians near Fort Buford. While chopping wood they were attacked bv about 75 tltiskv warriors, who surrounded them; bravelv defend- ' ing themselves, they killed ten and badly wounded thirteen of their assailants before being overpowered. Several other skirmishes have occurred in the vicinity lately, indicating, old Indian traders think, a general outbreak on the part Os the savages. Washington dispatches nfllnn ’ that it is no longer a state secret , that Minister Motley has been in I structed to notify the British gov- j eminent that whenever it is tho'gbt best to renew negotiations in re- i gard to the Alabama claims it wifi he done at Washington. Their settlement at no time had been . abandoned, but when Mr. Motley was scijt out it was thought incx-! pedient to renew negotiations un- j til the excitement relative to the rejection of the Clarendon-John-, son treaty hail in a measure sub sided. The Spanish government has addressed a note to the principal European governments and favor- ’ --able replies have been received as to the rights of Spain to Cuba, j The note was called forth by the offer of mediation made by the I United S‘ates for the purpose of effecting a compromise between < the belligerents. This offer being refused, Minister Sickles officially protested in behalf of the American people and the government against outrages committed on American citizens in Cuba, insinuating, at the same time, that belligerent rights would be accorded the Cubans, should Spain “persist in her barbarities and in her refu sal of the terms of compromise. The opposition to the Serrano government assailed the Sickles dispatch, declaring it had for its object the embarrassment of the regency, and to prevent, if possi- 1 ble, any arrangement with the Ex-I ecutivc at Washington. The latest Madrid dispatches announce that the Cuban difficulties arc in a fair way of adjustment. _ln the meantime S|>aiii sends reinforcements to Cuba ■- — —- ———• The II on. Henry Walker will lecture in Greensburg next T(iurs day evening, 23d inst

Radical Loyalty. Radicals boast that this is the freest government on earth, yet one-half 4 of the people are ruled with the bayonet—the iron rule of despots. The object of the war to restore the Union has been entirely lost sight of in the attempt to keep party in power by acts despotic and destructive of the will of the people as can well be imagined. Capital owns and controls the dominant party. It is emphatically a soulless corporation of moneyed Good men jrre constrained to support it because their prejudices have been aroused so that they are beyond the control of their better judgment. The cry of traitor, given with a loyal will, silences those who are being robbed and pre- —— — ? vents them from expressing what their feeling prompts them to say ; regarding party misrule and party 1 despotism. To hear a Radical call . a man “loyal” is no indication ' which side he fought during the ( late unpleasantness. Underneath i ! the collar and chain of party, if we should lobk closely, in many instances we should find the starred Confederate uniform, while externally they bore the highest eviden- j ces of so called loyalty, a Federal,; commission of trust, honor And ! ” ... 4 profit, especially the latter. At j the same time, there are thousands , of mutilated men, who followed the Stars and Stripes through a hundred conflicts, who are now unfit to hold a one-horse Federal of flee under the great leader—Grant. Democrat or Radical, it matters i not to which party you affiliate, is ■ this not a sorrowful picture, when , a great party prescribes good men and true, for opinions ? Men who were in the fore front when “Greek met Greek” in the late contest, but now that the danger is past, using the hackneyed phrase of party, are but “unrepentant rebels,” because they have opinions not in harmony with party loyalty. When Webster's dictionary un - j dergocs another revision the word j “loyal” should be either stricken 1 out or defined according to it mod-1 ern Btgnificarrce. Some.bf the fruits of the late unpleasantness is the rapeing! of more than two thousand white women in the South by_pegroes. This is negro rights with a ven-' geanec. STATE SEWS. " Jasper county has no licensed dram-shops. Small pox has again made its , appearance in Jeffersonville. The receipts of the Harrison county fair were §1,2>1. The Clark county treasury has ■ been overdrawn §2,28L An usual amount of sickness prevails in Worthington and vicin ity. v - This season the ague epidemic extends all along thb valley of the IV a bash. The people of Seymour are making a strong effort to get the county seat removed from Brownstown to I that place. j The Lafayette Dispatch publishes a rumor that several of the corn , speulators of that city have been | badly handled in the Chicago corn . market recently. In Harrison, Floyd, Clark, and i i Washington counties the chickens ' are dying of the cholera. A mass convention of the tern- 1 perance men of Clark county will 1 be heli! at Charleston on September 30th. The New Albany band and several temperance glee clubs j will make the music. The Winchester Gaze/Zeeays: j “There is more sickness in Randolph county at present than for a long time past. Our physicians 1 are constanty on the go, and are j scarcely allowed a moment’s rest • for a ‘nap’ or to eat their meals. 1 ' A brave chap who resides at I New Albany, and who occasionally has a ffght with his lovely spouse, called on a policeman the Other day to protect him from her fury I while he went to the house to get ■ his carpenter tools. A frail woman named Mollie found her lover, Faust Little, talking on the street .with another woman, in Shelbyville, last Friday, and pointing a four barrelrevolvcr at them, emptied it. one shot taking effect in Little’s hand. The Meeker is ip jail. . I The cars will nin into Charles-; ; town. Clarke county, on the Jeffer sonville branch of the Ohio and Mississippi road on the Ist of ' I h tober.

Governor Baker and the Bogus Ratification It appears that, after all, the statement published in the Ledger, that Governor Baker had not issued the document forwarded to Washington, pretending to certify to the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution by the Legislature of Indiana, was correct. It seems that the persons who appended their names to this document, are the President and Secretary of the Senate, the Speaker and Clerk of the House, and the Secretary of State. It was not seen by Governor Baker, nor was he asked by the persons who con cocted and put through the fraud to sign it, because, we suppose, it was feared, from his formerlyjexpressed views! he would refuse to put his hand to it. We need not say that we are rejoiced that Governor Baker has thus been true to himself and his conviction of right. It was with the greatest reluctance that we were brought to believe that he had been induced by corrupt poli, ticians of the’ Morton school, to swerve from the straight line of duty; and now hasten to make all the reparation in our power for stating otherwise, though it was done upon seemingly good authority. It is said that this bogus certification to a bogus act will be recognized by Secretary of State Fish, as full and complete authority for including Indiana among the States ■ that have ratified the amendment, j But we prefer to wait for a time ; before believing this to be possible. —New Albany Ledger. A Strong Indictment. A very correct bill ofindictment| has been drawn up against the Radical party, and it is one that ■ can be sustained by the facts and I figures. In this bill of indictment' the Radical leaders stand charged I with—calling themselves Union- I ists, they have consummated and maintained disunion. Affecting economy, they have given us the costliest government on earth. Prating of virtue, they made if the most corrupt. Clamoring for equal rights, they have proscribed more people than any monarchy in christendom. Invoking freedom, they established and maintained the darkest despotism in eleven States. Professing toleration, the proclaim acceptance of | their creed they alternative of I ostracism and disfranchisement. Howhng about ptHjfring the government,,, . they h:W?T:mule dishonesty and office holding identical. Preaching- principle, they subsist by passion and prejudice. Deploring caste, they elevate blacks i above the whites in two thirds of, the country. Magnifying loyalty, , they trample out every worthy' principle of our system. Claiming ■ 'statemanship, their officials are either conspirators or . thieves. I Landing are 1 the'servile slaves of a party caucus , Pretending to invite criticism, they , stifle freedom of debate in Con ; gress, by partisan rule, and drown it elsewhere in blood. Insisting upon peace, they prolong the old strife to stir up a new one. Are i not these charges, all of which can I be sustained, sufficient to condemn the Radical party and drive them from power? Country Merchants in Neiv York. Tiie hotels in the evening pre-j sent an unusually animated and j lively appearance. In the lobbies of the hotels, in the rGa di in the barrooms, and in rooms, can be seen ali parts of the Union. find the Western man playing billiards. He is a tall, j stout, healthy gentleman, with a 1 ruddy complexion. He is a geni-1 al, open-hearted, good matured and sociable. His coat is off, and he ; a]>pears to enjoy the game. If de- 1 seated, he plays again, and will ■ keep on playing until midnight, I just to win once. On a little mahogany table to his right lies his favorite beverage, which every now and then he sips. On an el- I evated platform arc soft cushioned ' I chairs, where, thoughful and mo- j I tionless, sits the Southerner. He wears a long chin-whisker. His , complexion is sallow. His jet- ' black eye sparkles with animation, j He wears a broad-brimmed hat, I and is dressed in deep black-cloth. I —Sun. The San Francisco Bulletin j congratulates the people of Cali- | I forniaupon the increased immigra- j : tion to the Pacific coast, and the | investments made by eastern cap- I j italists in lands in that state. The ’ predicted results of the Pacific 1 railroad, it says, arc being realized i as fast as could reasonably be ex- . pcctcd. A Mr. House, living near.Siloam. Mississippi, while seining a lake ■ recently to catch fish, stepped upon a snake in the water, and. thinking it was a fish, reached down andj caught it in his hand, when it bit | him. He died the next day.

One of our newspaper exchanges has the following: “Mrs. A. C. Brewer, formerly Miss Cox, of Holly Springs, Mississippi, in a published letter, makes the extraordinaiy charge that General Grant and wife car tied off silver-plate from her Lather’s house, which they occupied at Holly Springs. Some of the articles are minutely described, and among them a silver waiter, marked Vith the name of ‘Mary Annesly, 1750.” ‘This waiter,’ says Mrs. Brewer, ‘will be readily recognized in the Grant mansion at Washington. That and several other articles of value that came from the south may be recognized there.’ Yhe charge is so specific that it would seem to call for an investigation by Bntler, and an elaborate article in the Boston Journal. Everybody knows that Grant takes anything that is offered, but no one suspects him of taking other people's property?’ A Court Convulsed. We have seldom heard of an instance of more beautiful simplicity than was evinced by a matter-of-fact witness on a recent trial case. “What were the mob doing when you first saw them ?” was one of the questions asked by the district attorney “They was a singin’,” replied the witness. “Singing I” exclaimed the public prosecutor, “what were they singing about “I don't know , I'm sure; but they were singing’, anyhow.” “"Well, what was it?” What were they singing ? What did they seem to be talking about?” ‘Wai, as far as I can recollect,” replied the witness, “they was singin' about a man o’ the name o’ Tucker who refused to come to his tea.” Tipton county will hold its Tenth Annual Agricultural fair on the Gth, 7th, Btli and 9th of October, at the society grounds in Tip ton. There are in Montgomery county 3,300 farms. The wheat crop for 1869, on those farms, it is estimated, will reach 800,000 bushels—a surplus of 500,000 bushels.
