The appointment of Mosby, the tebel guerrilla chief, is a beautiful illustration of the purity of Hayes Civil Service Reform. The election in Maine has given the radical element hereabouts the shakes. The consul, however, looks as though it had given him the yellow fever. The Valparaiso \idetu seems to think that the radical campaign supplements, gotten up and paid for by the bondholders, and flooded over the country with the view to deceive and misleu I the people in the interest o‘ capital should be effective all the same. We think not, and trust the people will have due earc notto "walk into the parlor” of these hoodlums.

At I’ast, having trippled ids regular and bona tide circulation by the ad dition of a free list, paid for from the fund raised by contributions of bond and officeholders, we have succeeded in having the consul make affidavit to it. Before many weeks Dass by, however, wo will require him to make another, or refuse us heretofore. It requires a vast amouutof cheek to do us the consul has done in this matter, but then he has the cheek. The consul says, in the Union of last week; “They (the republicans; have a clear majority of four hundred” in Jasper county, and at the same time one of his most intimate hangers on is endeavoring to procure contracts which will afloid him an opportunity to colonize voters in this county. We trust the people will guard with jealous care their interests and the rights belonging to them, and thwart the infamous purposes of these m n.

Mr. Calkins, in his harangue in the interestof Wall street, put forth the proposition that the'government had limited the issue of greenbacks to $400,000,000, and therefore could not have designed paying $900,000,000 in that currency—that it was absurd to suppose they could pay s9o' 1,000,000 with $400,000,000. Mr. Weir clinched the would-be-sharp argument with the reniy that it would be more absurd, accepting Calkins’ line of reasoning, to suppose that the govern meat could pay $900,000,000 of bonds with $150,000,000 in gold. All present saw the point made, and, through the manifestation of loud and prolonged applause, gthe Major, and the Major’s consul sat ther? the very pic turesof discomtltted despair. .

Gen. Shields, the hero of two wars, In whom the radicals took such an interest last winter that they sought to thrust upon him the office of doorkeeper for the national House of KepreseuratK vi>, m a speech m Indianapolis, last Monday evening, thus alluded to the matter:

“At th? last session of congress my name was presented to the. house of representatives for the position of doorkeeper I Knew nothing of the matter until it was all over, and hence it was done without my consent. It is a position that I would not accept if had been tendered me unanimously. [Applause.] I think that Genei al Butler was sincere in his efforts in my behalf, but I told those men that many of them were officers—some generals —who served under me in the war, and I could not accept a position under them how, to hold the door for them. Many of my warmest friends opposed me, men who had battled beside me, and I honor them for oppos Ing my election to an office chat I could not till, it being contrary to my mode and habits of life, I am.apoor man standing with a record unstained. My friends desired to put me on the retired list, but when the bill came before the senate my name was coupled with Grant’s, and thus it failed to puss. ” And of Mr. Voorhees the gallant old soldier bore the folio wing testimony: “I have a special interest in the coming contest, for your next legislature will be called upon to elect a Unit’d States senator—Senator Voor hees, I know —and when I was a United States senator, and sat among such men as Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Benton and Douglas I can truthfully say that I never knew a map who served so short a time and took as prominent part in the affairs pf the nation-as Mr. Voorhees lias done."

Hon. John Lee is appointed to address the people of Remington, Wednesday evening of next week. We trust the citizens of Carpenter township will turn cut and hear him, as he is a convincing and attractive speaker.

Judge Gooding was unable to fill his anointment at this place last Wednesday evening, Hon. John Lee enteitalbed a large audience for nearly two hours in a straightforward exposition es the situation Of affairs in the land. He was frequently applauded by his large audience, We are glad to note that his aprointments extend to the Saturday before rhe election. He is doing effective work.

The National Bankers in New York held a meeting one day last week and made another large contribution to be used in Indiana to defeat the Democratic party find Mr. Voorhees. A number of radical speakers, paid out of this fund, are announced in yesterday’s Union, as about to engage in missionary labors in this county.— Money is powerful, but if the people be true to themselves and their interests, their ballots will be more potent.

The consul claims that “the editions of the Unoin eac/i week since and including the date of July 25th, 1878, have been double the size of the editions of the said Democratic Sentinel for each week during that time.” Oh, well, we admit that. The corruption fund, provided from th * contributions of the national banks and the bond and officeholders will explain the sudden increase in the circulation of the Union, “since and including the date of July 25th, 1878,”

“The truth is that at no time has i he Democratic Sentinel ever had the circulation, cither home or abroad, that The Union has enjoyed.” Let us see. Up to the dat-e of “Ju ly 25th, 1878,” the packages of the Union, received at the Express office at this place each week, from the time of its reduced size, weighed at most 35 lbs., and then had more than a sufficiency of copies. On the other hand the package., of the Democratic Sentinel weighed 45 lbs., and would scarcely fill the bill. An examination into, and ascertainment of the correctness of this statement will settle, the matter. In conclusion we suggest to trie consul that while he is so “flush” ho husband his resources. -

After the election he will again be making the grand rounds offering his sheet—“three mouths for only a quarter!”

For the Sentinel. “Hon. John Lee of Crawfordsville, delivered a political speech in the court house last evening to a fair audience. Judge D. S. Gooding had been billed but did net come. Mr. Doutbit and Mr. McEwen appeared to be highly delighted with Mr. Lee’s effort.”—Union. Yes, Mr. Lee made a very able argument which no doubt pleased not onlv the abeve named gentlemen, but all the-Democrats and Independents present, and a large sharo of the Republicans. But he did not please Messrs. Gt o. Kannal, A. Thompson, ML. Spitler, and other money-lenders. Neither did he please a long shanked lightning-rod who has been imported from the wilds of Posey county by our Republican Trustees and foisted upon the community to teach our children science and good manners. This “professor” made himsrlf conspicuous by his loud talking, whispering and giggling. How do the patrons of our school

like such examples?

The National Debt—Alarming Statement.

Philadelphia Crisis. The most alarming sign of the times is the steady and rapid increase of our nation..! debt and c in interest account, thoughjt e people at large have as yet taken no note of the fact. Deluded by the monthly debt statements of the treasury, 99 out of every 1(H) American citizens believe that our debt and the annual demand upon us for inletest have both been materially decreased during the past year. But what is the truth touching this question? Our space is too limited to admit a tabular'statemen: for the whole year, but we present a condensed statement of the last four months.

On the 31st of March las: the principal of the coin debt was $1,721,735,850. During the mouth of April the increase of the principal of that debt was $13,998 800; during the month of May the increase was $33,000,000; during June it was $12,000,000; during July it was $14,942,250, and the total on the 31st of July was $1,795,077,900, showing un increase of the principal of the debt in four months of $73,941.050.

The total annual interest on the 31st of March was $91,674,544. During April the increase was $609,928; during Muy it was $1,415,000, in June $505,000, in July $526,535, making an increase of coin interest in four nonths $3,0>6,463, and total annual payment amount to $94,761,007. During these sain four months there has been no reduction of the 5 per cent, bonds. The 6 per cents, have been reduced $5,059,950; the 4$ per cents, have, however, been increased $46,000,000. and the 4 per cent. $33,000,000. If this exhibit of the rapidity with which our national debt and its burdens upon us and prosperity is increasing does net awaken the anxiety of business men, it will be because they are impervious to reason or have surrendered themselves to the cruel fate provided for them by Secretary Sherman and the plutocracy he sarves.

Maj. Calkins tm>k great credit to himself for having voted to remonetize silver and stop further contraction of the greenback currency. This was a virtual condemnation of repub lican legislation, and shows that the democratic party is right. The demonetization of silver and the contraction of the currency were republican measures, and all that Maj. Calkins did was to help the democrats undo the mischief that his own party hud done. No thanks!—South Bend Herald. Maj. Calkins opened his speech in South Bend by a fuLe statement when

he declared that the electoral bill was gotten up by a democrat and forced through congress against the vote of the republican members. Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, was the author of the electoral bill and Calkins knew it and he knew that Edmunds was and is a leading republican memberof the senate. Calkins knew, too, that the republicans held a majority in the senate where the bill originated ard had the party been opposed to it its defeat was certain. Calkins knew, too, that a majority of the republicans of the house—nearly all of them—voted for the bill, and yet with this knowledge he stated in the opening of his speech that the electoral bill was gotten up and forced thro’ congress by democrats. Oh, shame! where is thy blush? He may express his contempt for “fraud shriekers.” but what measure of contempt is due a man who comes before an audience and, for the sake of a few votes, wilfully falsifies the public record about a question of this nature.

Delphi Sun.

The annual election of Directors of the I. D. & C. Railway took place at Monticello last Wednesday and re suited in the choice of the following gentlemen to serve the Company for the ensuing year: John Lee, Crawfordsville. Matthias Lorscheider, Lowell. Moore Conger, Lowell, Alf. McCoy, Rensselaer. Alf. Thompson, Rensselaer. J. C. Wilson, Monticello. Charles Angell, Pittsburg. John T. Riciiurdson, Delphi. Vine H It, " Enoch Binehart, “ A. H. Bowen, “ Jackson J. Ramey, Rossville. John Barnei, Frankfort. It will be observed by thpse who were familiar with the names of the old Board, that soinqchange* have been made which was done in tile interest of the enterprise, and that places not heretofore represented on the Board, would have a voice in its management.

Owing to the absence of some of the new Directors, only a partial organization was accomplished. Dr. Bushnell was re-elected Secretary, and the eleetioa of President was postponed until the first of October. The gentlemen who attended from this place took tbeir wives ahd lady friends with them, must of whom accepted an invitation from the Contractors, Messrs. Yeoman, Hegler & Co., to ride over the road to Rensselaer, where they were met by Messrs. McCoy, Thompson, their wives and many other citizens, wqose names are not now remembered, with carriages, and driven rapidly over the town that they might take in the beauties of the eapiflH of Jasper county, It was the intention that the party should lunch before returning, but owing to the delay in starting from Monticello, there was not sufficient time, and the good things prepared by the ladies or Rensselaer went untouched. Mrs. Col. Yeoman was untiring in her efforts to make the trip agreeable to those who composed the company. All seemad to eujoy the trip hugely as well as the good dinner at the Hotel de McCuaig on the arrival of the train at Monticello. It will not be long to wait until the whistle of the locomotive will be heard at Delphi on the new road. Hands are now grading tills side of the Tippecanoe river, and others dressing up the grade, making cattleguards, etc., as far this way as Mr. Patton’s farm; more than one-half the ties are cut for this division. Delphi Times. Railroad ItemsA force of men are engaged in grading this side of the Tippecanoe river, and also at Patton’s farm. More than half the ties for this division are ready for laying. A force of men will be placed on this end of the road in a few days. The offices of the road will shortly be moved to this citv. As soon as this division is completed, work will be begun on the shops in this city. Th se works, when the road is completed from Indianapolis to Chicago, will employ about three hundred men.

The New Maii Law.

There is a ruling of the Postoffice Department which will come into force on the first of October which is not generally known but which is very interesting. After that data all third Mass matter can be registered at the same rate as that charged for registering letters, viz: ten cents.— Third . lass matter comprises all articles of wearing apparel, &c., and the rate for carring is one cent for each ounce, in packages whose weight is limited to four pohnds. You can order a dozen shirts in San Francisco,, and have them registered, thus in/ suring against loss, and the totalcost for transportation will not exceed from 25 to 35 cents. There ts another grade of third-class matter, such as bonds, pamphlets, ate., for which the charge is one cent for every two ounces. This also can be registered.— The public will find this new system to be wonderfully convenient, and will make use of the mails in sending thousands of packages which are now carried at high prices by the various express companies. The latter will undoubtedly object to this interference with their business, but the only result will be an immense increase in the bulk of the mails and the employment of additional force in the department to handle it. You can send just as many packages as you please and register either of them, the o ily restriction being that each must weigh but four pounds. A stovepipe elbow, whereof one end had run over itself with a dray, wo’d not excite the admiration of any man, yet it is the faithful copy of the frame of the prevailing style es lovely women’s fascinating summer hat.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with fullle gal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under w-hich they were issued, expressly 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 in 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 and 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 would be subserved by legislation so us to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities tor the Investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States.

That we are in favor of such legislation as 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 the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of ail debts, both public and 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, ami 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 future 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« enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to s he miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the eommon school system, and will in every legitimate 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 purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, snd we demand that the next legislature, in 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 just ce in many cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of the people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 1789. 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 barefaced effrontery, carried 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 wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free peo pie had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government a crime 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 outraged. 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 the acts or federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the 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. Y Ex-Governor Miller, of Minnesota, is deiiverieg a lecture in that State which is entitled -‘All Men ate Liars.” His tickets read, “All Men are Liars —admit one.” A schoolmaster thus describes a money-lender: “He serves you with the present tense; he lends you in a conditional mood; keeps you in the subjective, and ruins you in the future." The Tennessee republic ans held a convention the other d. y. The entire strength of the pa: ly wasn’t represented, one man bob <_ sick io bed, so the other two had to run the conventio i themselves.

National State Platform.

The National Greenback Labor Party of Indiana, in convention assembled, declare: 1. We declare our fealty to the American monetary system—the abolition of all bank issues, the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, and the issuing by the government of full legal-tender paper money, receivable for all dues nnd payable for debts, public and private, in amount sufficient r.<> moot in. wHiirs of trade, to eive employment to all labor, ana to enable the people tu Uo » co .,u business, and to relieve them from the debt system which has made the industrial and Commercial classes the slaves and drudges of the creditmongers of the world. 2. We declare our opposition to every measure looking to the resumption of specie payments, the monarchical system of iiuance which puts all the interests of industry, trade and commerce in the hands of the few, and enforces a monopoly oi wealth destructive of the highest material good oi society. 3. We proclaim our uucompomising hostility to , the perpetuation of the system of goverment bonded indebtedness which is intended tohindunborn generations in chains, and we deciare that the government should use all the funds now hoarded tor resumption purposes to pay and cancel outstanding bonds, and that it should mak® new and liberal issues of money Co be applied to the same purposa; and that the issue of future interestbearing bonds should be prohibited by constitutional amendment 4. We demand that all legislation should be so enacted and so administered as to secure to each man, as nearly as practicable, thu just reward ol his own labor; and we denounce all lawlessness, violence and fraud that refuses submission to the will of the people honestly expressed through the ballot. 5. We denounce the red flag communism imported from Europe, which asks for an equal division of property, and we denounce the communism of the national banks, of the bond syndicates, and of the consolidated railroad corporations, which have secured and are enforcing an imcqiia, division of property, having already divided among themselves ten thousand millions of the pioperty of the people by corruptjug the representatives and servants of the people. The one system o, communism ignores the inequalities of capacity which have been planted by nature in the human family, and both systems are destructive oi the rewards of toil and of the incentive to iudustrv and exert ion. (5. We declare that until the American monetary system, which will result in the practical extiuc- ’ ion of debt and usury is established the State slivuld by all the powers that it can exert, limit and reduce the rate of interest so that it shall in no event exceed the average increase of wealth by productive industry. 7. A c favor simple, plain and economical gov eminent, as few laws as possible, and they rigidly enforced —as few officials as practicable, and,they held to a close accountability. To this end we demand the abolition of ail useless offices, and the overthrow of t he system by which office.- are made to yield almost princely fortunes. It is the tirst duty ot the next general assembly of Indiana to secure such legislation us shall make it impossible for any local or State official to receive mure than adequate pay tor his services; and when practicable the compensation should be fixed by a specific salary. 8. We denounce the conspiracy of the Democratic and Republican leaders of Indiana to build a costly and magnificeni state house, which, as experience has proved in all similar eases, would result in the general plundering of the people.— We denounce me action of the governor in calling a special ses don of t he legislature for the put posh of fostering this scheme. We denounce ti;e indecent haste with which the state house commissioners are proceeding to let a contract to bind the people of the state, and we demand that no contract shall bo lei until the voters of ihe state have had an opportunity lo express their will upon the subject through the legislature to be chosen in October next.. I

9. We protest against the weak and ineffective eleclion laws of Indiana, uml we ask that the next legislature snail enact statutes which shall secure fair elections in tiiestate, and which shall provide severe and adequate punishment lor fraudulent voters, and for those who brii.e voters or procure, fraudulent voter. 10. We denounce the criminal and unfair apportionment ol the legislative and congressional dis* tricts of Hie slate in the interest, of the Republican party, andtdic equally unjust apportionments made in the past by the Dcmucratie party, and we pledge our members of the legislature to vote for a fair ami equitable apportionment which shall secure a full and mt trammeled expression of the Ken* timents of the people. 11. The State shall enact laws which will abrogate the abuses and protect the interests of men who work in mines, by providing for the proper ventilation of the mines; and the earnings of all employees of corporations should be a first lien upon the property of said corporations. 12. If it was wise and needful in 1867, when money was plenty and the country prosperous to enact a bankrupt law, it is certainly humane now to amend such law so to prevent frauds and to continue in force iniv lasi escape of the oppressed debtor from the extortions of the money power And we favor the exemption of not less than §I,OOO wort h oi property to the householder from forced sale on execution. 13- The constitution should be so amended that the Presideni, Vice-President and Senators of the United States shall be elected by direct vole of the people. 14. We are unalterably opposed to adding to the burthens of the people by an Increase of the standing army, believing with Washington that -‘overgrown military establishments under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty, and particularly hostile to > epublican liberty." 15. We indorse and reaffirm the platform of principles acopted at Toledo, February 22.1878, and we c ..... . _. ~ ... .. olitical interests subserving the useful ranks i . ociety, in one party which shall advance this de ree to a higher and be. civilization and tin >ldest gospel, that there shall be work for ail am, bat ail shall work.
