Mr. E. G. Bean, the gentleman whe painted the artistic drop curtain and scenery for Starr’s Hall, is beyond a doubt the best painter who has ever stopped in our town, and we think our citizens should encourage hi"’ with employment to remain in our midst. Commencing life as a common house painter, although still a youg man. he has achieved a degree of success in the finer branches, such as graining and frescoing, not only flat teriug to his ability, but such as wo’d be very creditable to many an older man. Mr B. is a practical house, sign and carriage painter, having been employed in some of the best shops in the eastern cities tor ten years, und we commend him to all who wish to employ a thorough workman.

SENATOR MAJOR VINDICATED.

The Perfidy •£ the Buchanan Combination Exposed—The Real Purposes of the “Plan” and .‘lorn” A only nodi'u cue Editor of the beutiuul: Sin—The Bun’s abstractor the proceedings of the Senate yesterday is so mauifesc'.y unjust to Senator Major, one of the purest men in the State of Indiana, and so evidently banned with the intent of placing that gentleman in a false position before the Nationals of the State, that one who is acquainted with all the facts tn the ease, and has known the Senator for twenty years, und at the same time is fully aware of the seutimeuts of the Nationals in Major’s own district. eannotpass it by unnoticed. To one who is acquainted with the Buchanans this would be superflu us; but there ure many Nationals in this State who do not know that these men “are on the make” in their every act; that upon any given occasion you have but to ascertain where the Buchanans are to know which side the money is on. As an evidence of this it is but necessary to refer to their position two years ago, when the situation, with reference to the Senate and Senator Major, was exactly the same as now, At that time the senator did not understand these men as he does now, but supposed that they possessed a reasonable amount of the ingredients usually found in gentlemen, and at the same lime he recognized them as representative Greenback men, consequently when T. B, asked Major to uidte with the Democrats for the purpose of electing him secretary of the Senate he did so, and thereby g;ve Tom a rood fat position. and Tom, upon his part, backed by his fugleman. “The Plan,” assumed the contract of vin icating Major’s course in the premises. This they did successfully, and satisfied the Greenbackers, that while they were in the minority it was their duty to get as much of the spoils as they could and then vote so as to facilitate legislation without sacrificing any principle. When the election was over this past fall, and it became evident that Major “held the fort”again, T. B. told many of his friends that “circumstances might occur which would place him Ln a position that ho would like to have the secretaryship again." Which was as tnnt-b as to say that if he sucked the teat dry that he then bad he wanted another. How did he expect to secure this? Only by Major uniting with the Democrats. There was no other way to accomplish it. T<> cut and dry auu have the dead wood on the matter as he did two years ago he paid Major a visit. * On his way up he intimated ▼ -ry plainly that he owned Major ai d Major owned the Indiana Senate, and that altogether the goose occupied an aliitudinous position; but it is supposed that he returned in a steeping couch, as bis phiz was not sera en route. The trouble was he had got a flea in his ear undeume back satisfied that no man can us* Major us a tool or deceive him twice. He then pulled the strings of his puppet,Brouse, und he, violating pledges as solemn and sacred as man ever made to man, stepped out fas the representative National. But that would not do.— The senator was equally distrustful of the puppet and the man who held tne string. When the Buchanans became thus satisfied that Major could not be used as their tool and his ,p< • tronage placed at their disposal, they immediately commenced working up a combination to ■ prevent him fr om making any arrangements by which the Senate could be organized und th” business of the State transacted, a d thus place him in the position of pieventing the passage of an equitable fee and sal try bill, or In fact a nyj) th er measure to relieve the penpie of their onerous burden , Mr. Major took tic position that what was right two years

ago was equally right naw, under the same condition, and that needful legislation was of paramount importance to the selfish interests of the Buchanan* und all their fuglemen and puppets, and consequently be refused to place himself ta the position of blocking the wheels and thus prevent such legislation. Now, this is the whole “milk in the coeoanut.* This is the reason why the same Nationals who two years ago, exulted over the election of T, B. as the “biggest thing in the business " 'the tail wagging the dof/* etc.. etc., and said that Mjor was "the gieutest man in Indiana,” are now denouncing him as a “trai tor,” Judas Iscariot,'' etc. This is the reason why be should have untied with the Democrats in’77, and should have nominated a straight ticket in ’79. In other words, Major went back oo,the Buchanans, and then they went back on him, just as they do with every one when they can no longer use him. As an evidence that this is not a burst of virtuous indignation upon the part of these immaculate worshippers cf Mammon, we have but to refer to the action of the Nationals in h‘ House of Representatives. Fo ir of the National members of House went into the Democrat c caucus and took an active part in its de liberations. Why is not the biliings gate vocabulary of T. B. opened on tnem? Six of the National members of the other House voted for the Democratic candidate for Speaker, and four of them voted the ticket straight through. Why ire they not “Judas es,” •‘Benedicts.’’ etc.? The four Na tionals in rhe other House who did not vote with the Democrats put in nomination and voted for a man who was in ‘he Democratic caucus. Why are not they resolutedout of the party? Simply because these men had no patronage to bestow upon or withhold from the Buchenans They did just what Senator Major did in the Senate, and were actuated by the same motive—to facilitate legislation. The Sun says: “Mr, Ward, who was •elected assistant secretary (by Major and the Democrats) is a National of the very finest type,” If anythi g wo lid make one dou it Nationality, this assurance of the Sun would; but Mr. Major was well t earned of his genuineness or he would not have put him forward. Did the Nationals in the House, who voted with the Democrats, secure any such recogui tion as this? Certainly not. Then why are they not doubly culpable?— If this ebullition was righteous indignation they would be so held by the Suu; but this absence of any criticism of their course, is of itself sufficient evidence thattha whole thing is a personal attack upon Mr. Major, produced, not in vindication of prin eiplc. but because the Senatordid not let the swag fall in the pockets of the Buchanans. If principle was violated by Mr. Major in his course he was equally culpable in 1877 when the Sun defended him, for he could accomplish nothing now to advance the principles of the National party by blocking the wheels, that h« could not have done in 1877 equally well, and ths representatives are doubly culpable for their recreancy, for they secured no recognition of the party as did Major in the election of Ward. It will be understood, of course, that this is but the most apparent view of the reasons that actuated the opponents of Mr. Major, und is written under the supposition that the National and Republican who traveled all over the Stale during November and December, seein" the legislators elect of their respective parties, had no ulterior designs, and that no one was paid to secure the blocking of the Legislature until the Republicans could have time to carry out some devilish scheme for the further oppression of the people, and that Mr. Major was not fighting to, anl by his course succeeded in, breaking up this combination.
