“The ltujiubliciut party will protect tlie people from the i ufiecte of those pernicious doctrines which teach that the masses are the wards of the government and may rightfully depend on the government for money and subsistence independently of their individual exertions.” Editor Sentinel: The false and v.ncidicd tor accusation contained in the above production of the republican mass convention is properly appreci nted by a “National” who has heretofore bi on A Re>cun an. New York Staats Zeitung: The repul liean join mils reach rile climax of eh mu lessncss when in view of such rev. latinos they plant themselves upott the impn-gnibility of the president’s logtd title. This is what makes the situation so miserable. To have tit the head of the republic, and to be obliged to keep there, a man who has reached iiis office through fraud, and who most probably was not only knowing to the fraud, but a helper in its perpetration—this is a revolting disgrace, and only the basest party spirit could endure it patiently. If there isa lawful method of sending to the devil a man so deeply dishonored, and who dishonors both his oi'liso aud H e whole nation, the American peoule may well congratulate themselves on the tact. A president so branded is deprived of all moral authority, and whatever legul authority lie may possess is reduced to the most pitiable value. ’Squire MeConahay inis adopted the idea ncecly sng. ested in this paper of adver.is ng lor loafers to sit iuand about his office; but it is acting con trtiry to expectations, and instead of driving t ern away, the boys have answered tne cull to the number of fifteen or twenty, and the requirements an* fully complied with. If the -re- | emit, ••outinue coining in, the joke ■ will be an expensive one on the • ’Squire, as loafers will monopolize his | attention to tin* exclusion of all other : business.—Montieello Herald.

Gen, Packard has sold the LaPorte Chronicle, and will remove with his family to California. Mrs. Peter Koehler, residing near Connersville.gave birth to five sound, healthy boys a few days since. All are doing well. Washington Post: Now that Packard is appointed to aplacp, ever} r man, wotnaa and child who helped to steal Hayes into the white house have been rewarded except Bill Chandler and Eliza Pinkston. Whatever may have been Bill's deserts, such invidious neglect is very unkind to Eliza. General Shields was once on a time elected to Congress from Missouri by a handsome majority, but his Republican competitor contested his seat and a Republican Congress turned Gen. Shields, gallant, Christian, maimed, loyal, tried and true union soldier, out of the s?at to which he had been honestly elected, ail because he was a Democrat. The Republicans who are now blubbering over Gen. Shields arc consummate blatherskites and contemptible hypocrites.

Whether Judge Key is included in this fiscal sustentatiou arrangement is not known., but if it is excused that wonderful order of Mr. Hayes will have a very funny appearance.
