The consul, in the Union, yester day, says: “The Union does not think that harm would result from the infusion into partistm politics of e little more of those principles of honor and charity and justice which have elevated to the highest known standard of Civilization the peoples who are called Christians.” And as an exhibition of his“honor and charity and justice” and manliness, gives publicity to the following mean, contemptible, cowardly lie against two little girls: “The proprietor of the Democratic Hentinel * cherishes a petty ieeiing of spite foi the school boaid, * prompted by two personal considera tions. The first arises from chagrin at the failure of his children to pass the requisite examination for desired promotion.” When we consider the fact that the children alluded to in the above, were promoted, and that we therefore co’d Lave no feeling of spite to cherish on that ground, we brand the above as a maliciciotis infamous lie, and the authci, in its utterance, a cowardly LIAR, And again: “The second springs out.of his failtire to bld low enough to secure the contract to print the school catalogues r»f last, year and this.” To so small an extant are we imbued with the “dog in the manger” disposition which is all controlling in the make up of tho consul, that we never since once thought of the cireumstarees conreeted with the printing of the school catalogues, until called to mind by the above false statement. The facts are; Last year t-he consul was paid more than the amount of oui bid. The present year Ao opportunity was afforded us to put in a bid. bo much for lie uumbei two.

The Philadelphia Times closes an An article on the Maine revolution thus: “It is the death-knell of republicanism in Ohio and Indiana for 1878.” Speaking of the Presidency, Blaine told a reporter of the Chicago Times that “Mr. Conkling has as much chance of thj nomination as a pig would have of going to Heaven in a wheelbarrow on the back of a hurricane.” If the consul could only disturb the harmony which exists amorig the friends of Messrs. Nickel, Nowels, Price, and theif companions on the Democratic and National rickets, by his- manfactured charges against them wouldn’t he be happy? His bread and butter is iu it.

We say to the friends of reform—to the opponents of the money power —be of good cheer! At no time has the outlook ever been so promising. Stand firm, and allow no trick of the enemy to swerve you from duty, and victory is yours. All sorts of stories against your candidates are being quietly circulated by the consul and others. Pay no heed to them! Teachers and preachers have rights in common with their fellows in other pursuits, but they have no more right, by taeir actions, to annoy those around them in a public meeting, than had a paity of radicals to interrupt the proceeding* of the meeting at Thornton School House 1-st Saturday evening. School teachers and preachers are as likely as others to do reprehensible things, the false, pusillanimous defense and appeal of the consul to the contrary notwithstanding.

TAXING THE BONDS.

Who It Responsible for Defrauding the States? On the 28th of June. 1862, the question of concurring in senate amendments to an act eventing bonds, etc., was before the house, Mr Holman, democrat, of Indiana, offered the following provision: Provided, Th»tnothing in this act shall impair the right of the states to tax the bonds, notes and other obli gations issued under this act. Sixty-three democrats voted for the righteous amendment, and not one

voted against it. Of the republicans, only 8 voted “aye” and 77 voted “no.” Tbus.the republican party defeated in the house the proposition to tax the bonds.

THE BLOODY SHIRT.

The Way It Han Been lUed to Aid AaUical RaeoalitVi Richmond (lu<l.) Press, The “bloody shirt”dodge of the republican party is well nigh worn threadbare. It has kept the party in power many veals, But while in powoi it has protected so many monopolies, at the expense of the tax-payers, that the eyes of some of It blindest adherents are being opened, and it is steadily losing its grip upon the public mind. To refresh Ihe reader’s recollection of a campaign four years ago, we reproduce th following document; Republican Rooms, 1 Central Executive Committee, > Indianapolis, Sept. 8,1874. ) Editor of Union, Rensselaer, Ind.: Sir—l desire to call your attention io the horrible scenes Of violence and bloodshed transpiring throughout the south, and suggest to you to give . in-m as great prominence as possible in your paper f;om this time until after the election. Thomas J. Brady, Chairman. Give those “horrible scenes” “as great prominence as possible in your paper from this time until after the election.”

What for? To catch voting gudgeons. But that kind of gudgeons are not so plenty as they were a few years since. Ben Harrison and all the rest wave the “blody shirt," but the poor people are too hungry to heed it. Tlib consul didn’t give it the prominence desired. At that time he wasn’t in the employ of Brady & Co., but he naturally “blowed,”

KANKAKEE RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

For nearly twenty years the matter of the improvement of the Kankakee river has been agitated by the people living along its course and In cities, towns and villages through or by which it runs. Many years ago it was thought that the Alden company wo’d speedily put the work through, but it failed to get the aid required and the franchise passed into other hands.— The Kankakee company made a good commencement, and lavished large amounts of money in building dams, (See., at Wilmington, which are very valuable to that place and which added largely to its wealth and population._ But upon the assumption that its financial affairs were honestly managed, the impression soon obtained that this was centering all its capital in the improvement of Wilmington by inhancing the value of its lots and coal lands. But we do not intend to give an account of the operations of this company, wtir aim being merely to. say that it is likely that the National Government may be induced to remember us in the distribution of means so liberally donated for the improvement of harbors and rivers, in the south and west; if weever have a Representative in Congress who has the ciiuruge to demand a share of the money dispnnsed for this purpose. It appears that through the efforts of congressmen from Indiana, an appropriation was made for tee purpose of making the ne essary examinations.of certain streams hitherto over looked by the ffeneral govejninent, and for that purpose Gen. Gleason, appointed by Maj. Smith, of the United States corps of engineers, has been visiting Wilmington and this city for the purpose of examining the Kankakee river, its width and death; its banks, and he practicability of utilizing this beautiful stream for the be: - efit of commerce. He came frem Wilmington to this city, having carefully followed the river, making soundings and taking notes as to the immense amount of the productions of the farm which now seek a market at heavy costoi transportation, thus Cutting down the profit to the producers, when, with the river properly improved, thousands aud millions of dollars may bo saved to the toilers, producers. and business men generally, along aud adjacent to the river, At this city, Gen. Gleason was warmly welcomed, and in a short time the leading business men of the place gave the gentlemanly emissaiya cordial gaeeting. He gave in detail the object of his visit—the movement in Indiana, and everything connected with his trip. He is satisfied that with a thorough and truthful report of the adaptability and practicability of the contemplated improvement of this great water course, there will be no difficulty in enlisting friends in Congress.

On Saturday morning, Gen. GleasI on, together with some twenty interi ested business men, by invitation of Mr. George Hiding, who chartered Mr. Beaumont’s steamer for the purpose, made a tiip up the river to Wai dron, taking in the Iroquois river, which is also susceptible of improvement at least up to Watseka. The broad, clear water, with its high rocky banks, the thrifty farms and pleasant arm houses, and a depth of water J sufficient to carry a large steamer, all . attracted the attention of Gen. Gleas- ' on, who was not only delighted with its beauty, but seemed to be astenishj cd why our demands had been so long i neglected by the government. Na- . ture had provided us with with one ■ of the most beautiful streams in the ' great Northwest, and for want of a ' share of the munificent ex»enditures i of the Nation in providing communication by water, aud in making an 1 keeping harbors in repair, the people iu Indiana and Illinois had been com-

pelled to psy extraordinary tribute on freights for merchandise defend* ent upon railway enterprises. Geu. Gleason is so highly elated with the result of his mission, that he s>uit for Maj. Smith to accompany him from this city to Momence, where arrangements are mada to take them up the river some forty miles by steam boat. The question as to whether Congress will take cognizance of this matter while it is in the possession of a private corporation, is of easy solution. That matter docs not stand in the way, and needs no discussion at our hands. We have a strong faith in this move, and now believe that an appropria lion might have been had for it at the last session of Congress. We believe it will be had at the next.—Kankakee Times.

HOOSIER POLITICS.

The Outlook as Viewed by a Cincinnati Enquirer Correspondent Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 7,1878. The Republican still-hunt is, in my opinion, a bug-bear, which is about ihe thinnest capital ti at a campaign was ever run upon. The party started in the campaign with an acknowledgment of partical defeat—that is, (hat they expected to lose the State ticket, and their chances have been waning ever since. I have no doubt but that sum of the leaders, includ-

ing Judge Blair, the Chairman of the State Central Committe?, are actually deceiving themselves, which sounds very much like the little boy who sat in the comer and indulged iu self-ap • plause. This still-hunt means a hunt where there is no game for the hunters and they know it. and it now see*s farcical that any one should-ever have thought it amounted to anything.— The party started out with a key-note from General Harrison to the effect any man who did not believe in gold basis was “an idiot,” but as soon as they saw the effect such a declaration would have they fbrced<the little General to explain that he really didn’t mean anybody, but that the expression was a figure of speech, as it were. Of course this is a little humiliating to the man his party has put forward as their man for the Senate, should they carry the Legislature, for Ben is honest, even if he doesn’t know much of politics, and, left to his own volition, would still insist that the populace ought to be in the lunatic asylum. The fact is t General Harrison has learned that the managers are greater than he, and he understands from that, as fhey have put hi:n forward as their representative and Senatorial cand.date, he must come inside the traces aud obey the Iriver, and he is doing it. Two years ago Major Gordon said of Gordon said of General Harrison: “If he should be elected Governor he will, no doubt, make a good one; but no one will ever get to see him unless he can be introduced by two Presbyterian Elders and have them vouch for him.”

He has passed that point now, and, for a man seeking Senatorial honors, does the hand shaking business well. As I said before, he has the honesty to believe in himself and his own conclusions, and he must mourn the harsh fate which makes him kneel before the managers, whose tricks he despises and whose walks in life are entirely outside of the wall which he has built around himself. “A party without organization ”is what a former Republican manager said of his party to me at Lafayette yesterday. “The trouble with our fellows at Indianapolis is that they sit down with asinine serenity at home, and when a little hurrah is to be gotten up Judge Blair comes out and shoots off his mouth, and then rushes bacK and tells the other fellows that it s all right in that county, when if he could see just beyond his nose h ’ would know that things are all wrong. Why, the fact is we’ll have h—)l in this county. The party’s all split and torn up. Part of our local candidates are anything out what they should be in character, and nearly half of our voters are dissatisfied, and yet those fellows over there say: ‘Lay low, boys; we’re on a still hunt.’ Well, they will find it so d—d still that Democracy will waltz away with the offices.”

It is uow plainly apparent that the officers do not know details, and they can uot learn them, for the county organizations are imperfect. They have no canvass made; they insist that the Nationals are drains upon the Dem ocr.itic party, * * • The Democracy, on the other hand, are in good shape. With but three trilling exceptions, I do not know of any divisions in any part of the State, ami iu neither of these instances will the general result be affected in the least, either for the State or Congress. Colonel Shaw, the Chairman of the State Central Committee, is a soldier, and he is organizing his forces as only a soldier cun. Heandhis Adjutant Jim Rice, are at work late and early. I met Col. Shaw to-day, and asked him: “How are you shapingup, Colonel?” “Never better,” was his answer. “You know I have had some hand in Indiana politics since the war, and I tell you the Democratic party never was in such good shape before. Our majority in the State will range away up to war i 20,000.”

“But how about the Legislature?” “I have no doubt now. We will have a majority of not less than three on' a joint ballot, and, of course, a majority in both Houses, though I think we will have but one spare vote in the Senate, but the Lieutenant Governor is on our side. Then there may be a number of Nationals elected, and in the main they will act with us.”

The canvass of Senator Voorhees is the grandest ever made in the State. This being his third general canvass of Indiana, and the two previous having given the State to his party, he has come to be looked upon as the one upon whom all the labors of ?ucc<ss should fall. Until this canvass he has had no prospective personal interest interest in the result, but this time he has, and he is doing as much to earn ic as Caesar did in his campaigns in Gaul to win victory. And he who attends his meetings will soon see that he has the legions behind him to carry him through the fighj.

A Woman’s Greenback Club wan formed in New York on Wednesday evening, seven ladies attending the initiatory meeting. One of the speakers spoke of the necessity of having women interested in every great work of reform, especially one pjomote the happiness of workingmen by giving them plenty of greenbacks. For this end the club would work, and it would insist upon its members attending primary meetings in the hope that they may finally bh made eligible to office. It would also furnish women speakers for the coming campaign, and this would give a new attraction to the canvass. One hundred years of men’s government had brought to the country to a condition that needed no comment, and it was high time for women to take the reins.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of Indiana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, an I 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 axe 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, aud 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 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 as shall fix the legal rate of interest at uot exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 412| grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all 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, 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 o 5 mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lieu upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined and 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 miuer and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the common 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, shaft have regard alone to population aud 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 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 iu 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 publie 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.

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'aud unlimited coinage of gold and silver, and the issuing by the government of full legal-tender paper money, receivable for all dues and payable for debts, public ano private, in amount sufficient to meet the wants oi trade, to give employment to all labor, and to enable the people to do a cash 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 finance 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 of society. 3. Vie proclaim our uncompomising hostility to the perpetuation of the system of goverment bonded indebtedness which is intended tohindunborn generations in chains, and we declare that the government should use all the funds now hoarded tor resumption purposes to pay and cancel outstanding bonds, and that it should make new and liberal issues of money to 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 ntau, as nearly as practicable, the just reward oi his own labor; and we denounce all lawlessness, violence and truud 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 unequal division of property, having already divided among themselves ten thousand millions of the pioperty of the people by corrupting the representative',* and servants of the people. The one system oi communism ignores the inequalities of capacity which have been planted by nature in the human family, and both systems "are destructive of the rewards of toil and of the incentive to industry and exertion. t>. We declarethat until the American monetary system, which will result in the practical extinction of debt and usury is established the State should 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. We favor simple, plain nnd economical gov erunicut. as few laws as possible, and they rigidly enforced—as few officials as practicable, audjlhey held to a close accountability. To this end we demand the abolition of all useless offices, and the overthrow oi the system by which offices are made to yield almost princely fortunes. It is the first duty oi the next general assembly of Indiana to secure such legislation as shall make it impossiole for any local or State official to receive more than adequate pay tor his services; aud 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 magnificent stale house, which, as experience has proved m all similar cases, would result in the general plundering of the people.— We denounce tlie action of the governor in calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of fostering this scheme. We denounce the indecent haste with which the state house commissioners are proceeding to let a contract to bind the people ol tue state, aud we demand that no con ‘tract shall be let until the voters of the state have mid an opportunity to express their will upon the subject through the legislature to be chosen in October next.

9. We protest against the weak and ineffective election laws of Indiana, aud we ask that the next legislature shall enact statutes which shall secun .'..•r elections in the state, and which shall provid. severe and adequate punishment for fraudulent voters, and for those who bribe voters or procun. fraudulent votes. 10. We denounce the criminal and unfair apportionment of the legislative and congressional dis tricts of the state tn the interest ol the Republi can party, and the equally unjust apportioument.madeinThe past by the Democratic party, and w. pledge our members of the legislature to vote sot a fair aud equitable apportionment which shall secure a full and untraiiiiiielcd expression of the sentiments of the people. 11. The State shall enact laws which will abro gate the abuses and protect the interests of men who work In mines, by providing lor the propel ventilation of the mines; aud the earnings of all employees of corporations should be a first lien upon lite property of said corporations. 12. If it was wise and needful in 1807, 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 aud to continue in force this last escape of the oppressed debtor front the extortions ol the money power And we favor the exemption of not less than §I,OOO worth of property to the householder from forced sale on execution. 13. The constitution should be so amended tliau the President, Vice-President aud Senators of the United Slates shall be elected by direct vote of t he people. 14. We arc 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, aud particularly hostile to i epublican liberty.” 15. We indorse and reaffirm the platform of principles acopted at Toledo. February 22.1878, aim we congratulate the country upon the union of the political interests subserving the useful ranks ol society, in one party which shall advance this decree to a higher and better civilization and this oldest gospel, that there shall be work for all and that alishail work.
