Read “An Open Letter to Secretary Sherman.” contained on first page o the Sentinel. It will afford abundant food for the reflecting. Thef “Notions" of Holy asses fire ; a batch of misrepresetatious, the product of an excited imagination. Dvh pepsia or worms? Hor-ace, in tlie Turk Island interpretation, is “Holy asses!“ and ti.e new-born consul is prompt to assume the distinguished title. Mr. Barkley had no contract with Mr. Kitt. Mr. K. received the amount lixed by law f ,r publication of the dcliuqeut tax Bat, and no one is la tier satisfied of this fact 'han lord Holy asses, of the Union. Hut dup for u lit tiu capital, eh V We would suggest that the Democracy of Jasper county hold conventions in their respective townshius on the Btli or 15th of June next—not later than the 15th—for the appointment of delegates .o the Democratic county convention, and furnish the chairman of the county committee, J)r. J. H. Loughridge, with the names of the appointees. “It has been but a few weeks since, that we heard a prominent citizen of Rensselaer, (and by the way a strong Republican) say that James of the Union could assume more shapes, politically, in a period of t welve months, than any other man of his acquaintance.” —Goodlancl Jietji.-trr. Mr, James is afflicted with tickle-dee dee, and if an application of silverdee above the holyaeid-dee-dee, said in sotno cases to be a remedy, was to lie attempted on him ho would resent it with an assault and battery.

The Union attributes the depression of the times to luck of produc lions, and not scarcity of monoy. When the circulating medium was plenty, and crops almost a failure, compared with that of the past year, the complaints of hard times was scarcely heard. In lact, the advovocates of resumption, in reply to Mr. Voorhees, charged that over production and consequent low prices was the main trouble of the times. What a pity it is the Shyloeks and their supporters cannot agree upon the cause. Congress, will investigate Hayes’ title, not, we think, with a view to compel him to step down and out, but rather to. ascertain to what extent such high-totted and strictly honest statesmen as John Sherman, Gurffeld and others me implicated in encouraging and procuring fraud. Proceed to investigate,] and if guilt is clearly proven, let these men be punished its mon of more humble pretensions would be if guilty of the same mints. An example of justice meted out, Without respect to persons or position will inteiDose to prevent a repetition of such offenses for all time to come. General Gurlleld, who was £one of the six officers who composed the court martial which tried Fitz John Porter, says that the latter only escaped the death penalty by a single vote. — Exchange . And General Garfield and his five associates knew when they sat on that court martial that the Republic only escaped death by the way Fitz John Porter fought the buttle of Malvern Hill, and afterward oovored Washing ton when John Pope's incapacity sacrificed the Army of the Potom ,c. — Lewistown (Pa.) Democratic Senlhu L But then Garfield did not considt i> as Morton did with reference Bowles, Milligan and Horsey, that justice, odee again enthroned, might, demand the presence of the victim and a fail ure to comply with the demand might seriously dlscomode the murderers.

‘‘There wasn't any buck pay grabbing in this region of poor, . downtrodden, tax-impoverished and capi-tal-oppressed people before democratic carpet baggers were Importe d by an independent greenback auditor to tench i tunaeulate natioimia how to do it.”—Consul James In the Union. Everybody knows that the- Board ©f Ccmmlstlone:s of a county Is 1 - sponsible tor taxes levied ai d expenditures made. No order can issue ext. ptby their direction. The filth eject -

ed by the Union at the Audito. *s office fails of-its mark, and goes reeking into the commissioners’ room. If there has been an increase of taxation ami expenditures these officials must beai the brunt. If the backpay allowances are wrong, then attorneys Dwiggins, Thompsons, JSpitler, ami oilier leading radical lights who pressed the claims must share thu blame. Mr. Boroughs is alone singled out by the consul. He has no condemnation for Messrs Platt, Henkle and Janes. We, and the people, too, have a particularly longing desire for the opinion of.the|Unior. on the SS(X) dJovvaiK-e to Mr. Janes. Mr. radical ex-senatoi Dwiggins was county attorney, and vacated the position for the time required to secure the claim. Mr. Dwiggins is at the present time attorney for the county and also for the I. D. &C. road. Should there be a clashing of interests which side will he take? Will Holy asses please to bray.

A large proportion of the American people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most affirming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Mill ions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy a sample bottie for 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve the worst case. Pos.tively sold by all druggists on the western continent.

The democracy of the state of Indiana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, ani in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government unequal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are iu favor of making the United States notos, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender iu payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, exoressly payable in coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money should be issued iu such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor or such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money. That we deem it unwise an inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interest of the people wmuld be subserved by legislation so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States.

That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412 i grains, to the coin of ttie country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public arid private; and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the futuie public order and security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined an »l enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coai mines—one that, would be just to f l e miner and owner. The deuiecratic party is the friend of the eommon school system, and will in every legitiraa e way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert, any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for Legislative rurposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, snd we demand that the next legislature, iu apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory.

That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in many cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of che people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplat d by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of L 789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the grant of subsidies by the federal government,either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit. That we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaeed effrontery, curried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people’s choice for president and vice president, were wrougtully kept out of the positions to which a free people had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime agaiust free government a cl ime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have ontraged. And we denounce the act of the president of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn tbe acts or federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of tbe state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.
