Guelig, at Indianapolis, has been sentenced to be hung on the 19th of September next. Huff & VanßuskirK, of the Monticello Herald, bow run a Potter power press. Congratulates are in order. Fraud Hayes wants money to employ and pay marshals and supervisors to secure radical victories. Let Congress refuse te give tt. Frank Clark, of Winamac, had a huge rattlesnake onexhibitioh nt that place, Thursday of lust week. Its mate had been killed by a mower. Fighting Joe Hooker is not favora hie to Grant. He thinks that perhaps Jim Fisk might po sibly be in favor of him, but that Jim’s influence is not available just now. The Toledo, Ohio Greenback Convention met the ether day, and refnsad to urake nominations. A letter from Peter Cooper was read endors ing Ewing and Bice. The First National Bank of Monti® cello went into voluntary liquidation on Tuesday lust. The liabilities are reported at $30,390, and the resources at $67,240. It is said depositors will be paid in full when recources can be collected. A few days ago, in the Senate, Jim Blaine, of Maine, asked Mr. Thurman a question to which the distinguished Ohioan pointedly replied—“ The Senator would never make a living i- the practice of law.” Rather a low estimate of Blaine’s legal abilities. The Martinsville Gazette says:— “Ben Hill, of Georgia, gives the reason why the Government refused (luring the war to accopt the services of old Zach Chandler, of Michigan. It was because Zach’s nose would have revealed the movements of the arinj during the night.” At Boswell. Benton county this State, on Saturday of week before lust, during a storm, several men took refuge under the lumber sheds of Menefee & Bros., when a stroke of lightning killed Messrs. Wagman and Hherm, and seriously injmed Messrs. Gay, Stokes, Layne and James.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says-: “The supreme court, in Ordering the case of Lee vs. the auditor of state, to be advanced upon the docket for Immediate decision, granted Judge Turpie, attorney sot the old bow l of directors of the Northern prison, 6!) days in which to silo a brief. As the court adjourns to-morrow, (Wednesday last) the case will, therefore not bo decided until September. The publication of the list of allowances made by the Board of Commissioners by a newspaper is not necessarily an assurance that such paper has the largest circulation. Not by any means. The law doas not re. quire affidavit to bona fide subserip tion list, and therefore a free circulation of a goodly number within a a county for a week or two, at the proper time, might secure the publi cation to the paper doing so. We do not say this is done, but could and might be, and is therefore no criterion to go by. Conkling, of New York, known to be a bruggait and a toward, has of late achieved still another distinction —that of being recognized as the “liar” of the United States Senate. A Washington letter writer commenting on the Lamar-Conkling affair, says that it was “the third time with in a comparatively short time that Mr. Conkling’s offensive manner and language have caused senators to give him the lie. It was given him by Mr. Gordon, bv Mr. Burnside, and now by Mr. Lamar, and as- in the two former instances he quietly swallowed the affront.” The New Yorker seems to like the distinction to which his fellow-senators had elevated him, It Conkling does not know that he ought to wear the degrading epithet which His fellow senators place upon him, he would make some honorable effort to vindicate his character.

Calkins’ postmaster travaileth, and his soul is exceeding bitter. He says we didn’t like Lincoln, we didn’t like Grant, we don’t like Hayes, nor we don’t like’ us,” - i. e., the consul to Turks Island. What a quartette! How we apples swim I Had Lincoln lived he wo’d have been impeached by the Judases es the country who impeached John' son. As for Grant, he has no more patriotism than the consul, cares only for Grant, is selfish and incompetent; if any credit is due his administration give to able men in his cabinet. As for Hayes, he is a Fraud, occupying place against the wishes of the people, having in his possession and lux nriating upon stolen goods. As tor Calkins’" postmaster, like Hayes, be occupies position, not by the voieo of the people, and enjoys the emoluments of patronage dispensed by the master Fraud at the White House, and a rebel brigadier wlu-m he abhors, detests—over t he left. The Monticello Herald says, and it fs ae fair as the average radical o. - “Senator McDonald's speech on “troops- at the polls” is familiarly known as “Joseph’s Dream,” beejuse the occurrences of which it treats never cum® to pass, except in the mind of the visionary Senator. Brother Huff, it is very evident, w s 100 young ip those days to take much

interest in the transactions of the times. Henry Binnamon, a one armed sol dier, a republican in 1864, and an eye witness, does not agree with our friend Huff that “it never came to pas.-,” He gives the following facts: * * “No man who was present in the city on that- day and went near the polls coul J help but see that things were being carried with a high hand by tliejaokliers: and those who we. e acquainted with the citizens of tl e city, as I chanced to be at that time, could not help but know that many Democrats were kept away from the polls through fear of personal violence. If Colonel Holloway is not aware of this fact, I am: and lam stiongly inclined to believe that; he is cognizant of the same fact, but dislikes to acknowledge it; I should if I were in his place. At the time of the October election, in 1864,1 was engaged in the military service of the United States, and was stationed at Indianapolis from August, 1863, until the do eof the war in 1865. I was also present at the polls on the day of the election from morning until night, and knowjquite well what transuded on that day; in factl don’t know as 1 could forget it if I wished io. I saw whole squads of soldiers at a time belonging to the Massaehulefts regiment come, from Camp Carrington, go to the polls, crowd away the citizens and threaten violence to them if they did not get away promptly; they would then vote, go to another poll and repeat the same thing; and some of them told me personally that they voted as high as eleven different times on that day. I know that all this was done, and that there was no attempt on the parqofdthe authorities to prevent it. Interfeience at that time by the civil authorities would hardly have been tolerated by the soldiers, as there were republican leaders on the ground who encouraged them in their lawless acts and urged them to go on. These same Massachusetts soldiers were ninety day men (if 1 mistake not) and most of them were said to be under age, at least I was so informed by some of their officers. They had never seen a battle, but they seemed to hanker for the blood of Indiana Democrats and did their best to create a disturbance in order that they might get a chance to commit some act of violence. I heard all kinds of threats made on that day, by soldiers, to deter Democrats from going to the polls and voting, In the morning, when the polls were first opened, I chanced to be in the Court House square, and met Mr. Talbott, who, I believe, was at that time chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. He and I were engaged in conversation and, while thas engaged, a squad of soldiers in uniform come near to where were standing, some of them I knew, and some of them knew Mr. Talbott. They saw that he had some Democratic tickets in his hands; as soon as they discovered what kind of tickets he had some of them, in a coarse and insulting manner, told him that he would not be permitted to peddle such tickets in the square on that day, and if he persisted he would probably be forcibly ejected from the squuie. Mr. Talbott mildly protested that he, as a loyal and law abiding citizen, had a right to be there and distribute Demhcratic tickets. This was met with the declation that no “dunned rebel” or “copperhead Democrat” would be permitted to peddle tickets in the square on that day: and I believe to-day that Mr. Talbott only escaped personal violence at their hands by the timely arrival of General Carrington, who had been sent for.

* * “The above statements are facts, of which I am personally cognizant; that the acts above mentioned took place in my presence, and I dely Colonel Holloway, or any other “stalwart” to refute them. I was there, and know whereof I speak.” And Indianapolis was not the only point, 7hat year, where these infamous radical proceedings were enacted. From numerous parts of the State came the same story, und Morton and radicalism triumphed. Their scheme of introducing a foreign soldiery,—9o days men, not enlisted for the front, but to carry Indiana, in the interest of Morton & Co,, at the expense of the general Government was a success. Their employment of Dood as a “missionary” to establish organizations of the Golden Circle, and by false pretense and misrepresentation incite excited men to riot und bloodshed in the name of self-protection, was only on a par with the above. If there is retributive justice in the future, verily the radical conspirators of those days will receive their just reward.

VOORHEES ON BLANE.

‘'Blaine OverwhelmedMr. Voorhees’ speech in the Senate on Wednesday of last week was an exceedingly able effort. The New York World characterized it as the brightest effort he has so far made in the Senate, while the Sun says it literally overwhelmed Mr. Blaine, to whom large portions of it he addressed. The special! dispatch to the Sun says: The culminating point In the debate came in a speech from Mr. Vooi - heesof remarkable power. He excoriated Mr. Blaine for his aspersion of an Indiana regiment, and contrasted the record of Indiana and the Northwest with New England in the Mexican war, putting the latter in the most odious light. He taunted Mr. Blaine with the fact that Maine had no troops at Buena Vista. Mr. Voorhees’s ref erences to Mr. Blaine were so severe that t-he attention of the whole chamber was at once arrested. Mr. Blaine w .s so ha.d pressed by Mr. Voorhees’ averments that he incautiously demanded “Where was Franklin Pierce?”—a call which Mr. Voorhees utilized with ready effect. Mr. Voorhees next passed to the use of the military in Indiana in the war to control elections, and thence to Mr. Conkling's charge of the presence of confederate brigadiers in the Senate.— Mr. Voorhees took up New York and oilier Stutffl-j having Republican senate's, to show that they had many opportunities to reward soldiers by sending them to the Senate, but had preferred the politicians. Mr. Voorhees; closed-with a long and striking list of ex-Confederate officers appointed to conspicuous positions after joining the Republican party. Thelist embraced Ackerman, Grant’s Attorney General; Key, Mosby, Longstreet, Judge Hughes, James L. Orr and others. He read with marked effect a passage from- General Key in December, 1876, saving that Hryeshad not been chosen president of the UniteJ States by the people. Mr. Blaine was eager to reply 'to Mr.

Voorhees but he had been too badly damaged to come back with much force. He had been literally overwhelmed. The World’s special says: The army bill came up and turn- ’ ished an occasion for two very strong political speeches by Senators Beck and Voorhees. Mr. Beck gave some testimony as to the uses to which troops had been put in Kentucky.— He made t very effective use of Mr. Garfield’s speech inJtheJHouse, as illustrating the differences in the Republican ranks on the pending question, Mr, Voorhces'speech was the brightest effort he has made in the Senate. Blaine had occupied the floor some time in one of his characteristic efforts, reading from the sou them school books of war days, and inviting attention generally to the gross wickedness the Democrats were guilty of in past days. Mr. Voorhees began by lamenting thal Mr. Blaine preferred to be a hyena rather than a lion, that he should prefer to prey on the corruptions of the past rather than live and act among the living principles of the pi esent. Mr. Voorhees said he intended tojumnask what he called the hypocritical politics of the Republican party. He did not spare words in describing the hollowness of the Republican professions for the Union soldier. He showed that of the 150 employes of the Senate under the Republicans only six had been wounded Union soldiers, and all of these had been retained by the Democrats, in spite of the assertions of ihe Ohio Republican platform.

The Enchanted Pin.—-Some of the tricks in “parlor magic” printed in juvenilejpublications are very amusing, as well as very simple. “The enchanted pin.” for instance. To perform this trick you take a common brass pin, such as a man sometimes uses to fasten his shirt collar when a rear button flies off To satisfy your audience that the pin doesn’t contain a false bottom, give it in their hands to inspect. This will convince them that there is no deception about it.— Now bend the pin in two places ■ Ist, about one-thiid from the head, and, 2d, the same distance from the point —so that the business end will project upwards. Again show the pin, only bent—bent on mischief. Now, place the piu on a hard bottomed" chair, and when a late visitor enters invite him to sit on that chair. The effect will be magical. If the ceiling fs not more than ten feet from the floor the probabilities are that the man will arise so spontaneously that his head will make a dent in it. The innocent little trick never fails to amuse an audience, and if such amusements received more encouragement in the domestic circle there would be fewer poems asking “Where is my boy to-night?” At New Albany last week a temperance organization was effected among the colored folks, called the Band of Hope. Among the speeches made we take the following:

“Den dar am a nuder kind o’ nigger who steamboat. He gets in de cabin an’ puts on mo-ar style an’ flumishners dan dar are brains in his head. He fink he sugar on a stick, an’ den he fink he a fly nigger, an’ he be a bad nigger. But he gets de love so de steamboat whisky, an’in a few years he down to rousting, den he git burnt out—too much work—he den shirks de work, de mate catches him shirking, an’ dat nigger am frown overboard, an’ publish’ in de papers dat he walk oberboard in afitob combustion, an’it war combustion, so de mate busted him ober de head. Whar am his soul gone to? Fink on it, my friends, whar am his body? It am in a watery grabe—de fust water it am had so somctime--an’ wharam de soul? It am burnin’ yes, my frens, it am burnin’ in de hell obages. What’s de cause? We ’gin answer steamboat whisky. A volume which has just been issued, entitled “Selections from the Correspondence of the late Macvey Napier,” contains the following letter from Lord Brougham, dated Knowsley, September 16, 1830: “My dear Professor—l have come to Liverpool only to see a tragedy. Poor Huskisson is either dead or must die before to-morrow. He has been killed by a steam carriage. The folly of 700 people Poing fifteen miles an hour, In six carriages, exceeds belief. But they have paid a dear price.” The Seymour Democrat thus svn . pathizes with the Republicans of Ohio: One of the saddest things in Republican politics is, that after the leaders have decided to run their campaign on the bloody issue they cannot find soldiers tu fill up their nominations. The Harrisburg Patriot thinks Charlie Foster, of Ohio, wo’d give half his fortune if he had a rebel bullet through his leg or a rebel saber scar on his cheek.

A demure looking chap hailed a charcoal peddler with the query—- “ Have you got charcoal in. your wagon?” “Yes, sir,” said the expectant driver, stopping his horses. “That’s right,' observed the demure chap, with an approving nod, “always tell the truth, and people will respect you!” and he hurried on, much to the regret of the peddler, who was getting out of the wagon to look for a brick. The tongue is a very unruly member, and is apt to have a slippery hold on things which ought to be kept secret. They were talking in the* fam ily circle about weight, when a young man declared that “Jenny ain’t so very light, I can tell you. though she is slender.” The old gentleman, who had himself tested the weight of pretty girls in his youg days, looked at the couple over his spectacles and then drew his own conclusions. Lafayette, Ind., June 23.—The failure of the banking house of John S, Williams iis all the talk. The prominence of Mr. Williams as a local and State politician, and his popularity as a citizen, no doubt hs been one reason why the suspension is the subject of so much comment. Among those having deposits in the bank ar© Trustee Gallager. $5,800; Trustee LupS ton, $4,500, and County Treasurer Foresman about $6,000. Inquiring stranger to a steamboat pilot: “That is Black Mountain?”— “Yes, sir. Highest mountain above Lake Gorge.” “Any legend or story connected with that mountain?” “Lots of ’em. Two lovers went up that mountain once, and never came back again?” “Indeed? Why, what became of them?” “"Went down the other side.” Lawyer’s motto: “Be truthful and multiply and replevin the earth.”

Kentucky is shipping black walnut logs to England. Canadians are migrating In large numbers to the U. S. An Atlanta darkey who tried to send one of his children through the post office, was arrested for an attempt at blackmailing. The wholesale coal trade in Chicago amounts to $1,500,000 tons a year. Two-thirds of this quantity is Ohio Indiana and Illinois bituminous coal. Are blacksmiths, who make a living oy forging, or carpenters, who do a little counter fitting, any worse than men who sell iron and steel for a living. Five stores were robbed in one night at Plain City, Ohio, and the local newspaper proudly says that although the job was done by Home talent, it was equal to the best work of professional burglars. It is now asserted that those who work with petroleum are never troubled with bronchitis or lung affections, and that those who are afflicted with such complaints are relieved or cured after working with this material. There is only one object in the world which will attract a poung lady’s attention from the handsome young man she meets on the street, and that is another woman with a hat two laps ahend of any style she has yet seen. —Bradford Era. A pickpocket taken with his baud in some one’s pocket endeavored to invent all manner of impossible exsplanations of the phenomenon.— “What’s t2e usk in your trying to lie about it so clumsily?” said the Magis trate, benevolently; “haven’t you a lawyer?” A man coming out of a Texas newspaper office with one eye gouged out, his nose spread all over his face, and one of his ears chewed off replied to a policeman who interviewed him: “I didn’t like an article that ’peared in the paper last week, an’ I went in ter see the man who writ it, an’ he war therel” Dovey,” he said, “I think I was telling you, after I came home last night, about the necessity of retrenching our expenditures, wasl not?” “Well, really, I’ve forgotten, John,” she answered, “turn on the phonograph and see. He turned it on, and all it said was, “Whazzer muzzei—hie? W mzzer mazzer?“ The Marion Democrat says that— Kankakee has a justice that beats them all in the way of doing up a job of matrimonial splicing with neatness and dispatch. This is his formula: “Have ’er?” “Yes.” “Have ’im?” “Yes.” “Marticd; $2.”
