1-IiIDAY, SEPTEMBER f. 1879.

Read the speech of the Battlescarred veteran Gen. Rice, on fourth Mr. C. L. Vallandlgham Is a Democratic candidate for the L ,j gis.a ute in Montgomery county, Ohio. The United States Government has in its posseesion the French' spolia tion fund, while a man who is entitled to SIOO,OOO of, it is dying in a Connecticut poor-house. How harrowing to the very soul is disappointment. The consul is but the mere wreck of a “granger,” ccm pared to what he was once. Some five years ago he was a regular stalwart. Our Turk Island diplomat puts a few queries to “some well-posted soft - money philosopher,” which he himself answered many times when lie sought to be recognized as a bully “granger,” and labored to secure the nomination for the office of Clerk of Jasper county. Refer to your tiles oT those days, Mr. Consul. The Radical State Committee of Maine are still calling for more money to use in that State. Another appeal was received by the general committee in Washington on last Friday, saying that the canvass is a desperate one, and that the Maine radicals must have more funds at once. The committee replied that notwithstanding they had already sent large sums to Maine, they would at once order another as essment on the clerks and employes in the several departments for that purpose. The clerks complain at the extortion that is beinginflicied on them for tire benefit of Maine politicians.

Our diplomatic friend down street professes to be greatly mortified over ♦air {illusion to the overflowing false sympathy of “the average radical” at ihe misfortunes of “Dixon and Lize I'iukston”, and adds, in substance, that the only authority the people have that Dixon “was n thief, a murderer, a liar and a bail man generally,” “comes through democratic sources,” then seeks to show how greatly Dixon was admired by reproducing what "comes through radical sources.” No uoubt he will next week hush up for his readers what. Inis been prepared by the radical general committee for ihe Okolona Southern States. Calkins’ postmaster pretends to think that Barksdale should have permitted Dix on to pepper him with pistol balls on ono side, and then turned to him the other also for another peppering.— Lite consul himself might, in illustration of the beautiful theory he so eloquently have turned one side, but it would have been his hack, tils peculiar diplomatic qualification reveals itself in trie fact that he can prepare over two columns in condemnation of violation of law by a man in the {South, and seek to fasten responsibility on the Democratic party, but i i unable to indite a seutencc in con detonation of his partisan friends Sprague and Conkliug, DeYoung and Kulloeh. “Oil! ye hypocrites!”

TH[?] EXCURSIONISTS.

i'Aitor Democratic Sentinel'. Wo arrived in Puebla, Colorado, j Monday. August 10, and found ourselves surrounded by one continual .'iso of miniature mountains, forming a complete basin. These mountains, if they might be termed such, probably range from (iOO t.o 800 feet. Pueblo, is counted one of the in- ; tensely hot cities of Colorado, owing to the relleecdon of the white glaring s in, which possesses none of the mellow effulgent rays that tempers the ■■mi in our milder climate. This city, during the winter, is considered a very lively, wide-awake place, but is now ilulland monotonous, on account of the absence of the great number of inhabitants'that they may enjoy the pure free air during the exceedingly warm mouths of summer. Even this near home we And quite a difference in the prices of merchuu disc and grout t ies. In groceries they arc veiy much in ad vance of our eastern markets, very high prices being demanded for potatoes and fresh fruits. California fruits, such as plums, grapes.peaches and pears, being sold at the rates of twenty-live and thirty cents per pound. There are three daily and two weekly newspapers supported here, which bespeaks for a town of only 5,000 inhabitants a great deal of enterprise and vim. Yet I cannot but say that a great many of them—the papers o* the West, I mean—like papers of al- • most every port, are of but little sfg nigeance, the editorial columns being tilled chlelly with backbitings and bickerings. Among those o£ tire latter classl will place in most conspicuous prominence the Kansas City Journal , which has, so far as condensed meatiness in composing editorials regarding our Indiana excursionists is coucerned, who have “as far as heard from paid all bills,” and whieh|has, so far as regards the home c instruction in general of that paper reached the highest pinnacle of per section to which it may ever attain.— To said editor I will say, in behalf < f the party of which I am a member, “Wrap the mantle of charily about you” and lie down to the pleasant dreams that rhay ever be yours, while your very massive (_?) brain'-is distorted in concocting ’Such; enormous'lies as filled the editorial columns of jfouf edifjtingpaper during our whfortupate and unwillingly prolonged, stay in Kansa City_ Hut ,1. am • digressing, arid will return .tp Pueblo the I city of • whi,eh'.we,Jiave nope but pleasant re-4J'-Wbranees. T,

On Tuesday morning we entered the ears on the Narrow Gauge owned by the Denver and Rio Grande RR. Company, and start d to Canon City* forty miles west of Pueblo. We were perfectly enraptured with the scenery on this road, tie table lands being to us something wonderful, one succession after another of them rising many feet above us, seeming of solid rook, but through the sandy crevices busi - es, grass and even trees grow quite successfully. The projecting rocks form wild forest homes for myriads of birds, of the family we denominate barn swallows, and thousands of little nests are built along in elose proximity.

Far off in the distance we cen see a blue mist—a cloud as it were—a veil between earth and heaven. As we travel on and on, the blue mists roll away and we can discover through our field glasses, shrubbery on the very tops of these seeming cleuds. These immense clouds, we are informed by our wise neighbors, will eventually prove to De high peaks of the Rocky Mountains. As we near Canon City and behold these mountains in their wild rocky grandeur, we almost entirely ignore the rockbound table lands which have surrounded us like mighty walls, and which two hours before we thought the most wonderfully attractive scenery through which we would pass. As we enter Canon City we look around with wonder. Can this little place, with hundreds of tentg stretch ed about bear the name of City? Is it worthy the name? And yet we are told it contains 4,000 human beiugs. (I think on this particular day 250 of them belong to our party and 2.000 more are imaginary). The majority of the houses are very small and insignificant, some being built of clay and covered with gravel. The minor ity, I suppose, are tents. In this city is being built a State Prison probably possessing one-tenth the capacity or our Northern Prison of Indiana. From this fact I presume wo might surmise that the inhabitants of this section of the Centennial State are peaceable, and not given to theft or mu der.

This country is watered b.v irrigation ; canals for this purpose can be seen traversing the fields in all directions. These fields are not very nu merous. In one of them, however, was growing the largest corn I ever saw. This corn was an exception. We were now informed that we < o ’ exchange our comfortable coaches for open ears, in orJer that we might en joy to the fullest extent the wild natural scenery, aiid that we would pen etrate seven miles beyond the city into the very heart of the Rocky Mountains. Now comes a panorama of beauty which I might bettor not attempt to describe, for my braiD is not imaginative enough to conceive of words to paint the beauty, grandeur and sublimity ot this Grand Canon of the Arkansas. These seven miles of road are built through one solid mass of rock, and in the construction of the same many lives have been lost in blasting away the massive formations. For long distances we feould see great iron bars supporting the telegraph wires; these burs were spired into solid rock prebnbly <SO feet above our heads. Imagine the horrible and portentious danger of hanging suspended by a rope 1400 or 1500 Teet from the top of one of the e slopes, drilling in these dangerous heights, filling with powder and apf lying the fuse; then imagine the breathless suspense of being drawn inch by inch out of danger’s way. , As we advance Into the Canon, peak after peak of this mighty mountain rises almost perpendicularly to the height of from 1500 to 2300 feet, calling forth from this impulsive multitude exclamations of wonder and admiration. The Arkansas river, which flows along the railway, and sometimes immediately under it, is deeper and narrower perhaps than a any other point since we started from Kansas City. In some places, where rocks of from two to three tons weight have rolled from the mountain side into it, an agile person could cross by bounding from rock to rock. One cannot but acknowledge that a ride over this road is fraught with much danger. At times it would seem that there could be ho possible escape from toppling over into the rivei, in t irning the curves which number hundreds as the road follows the numerous windings of the river; but no, the frightful curves were passed in safety, and we sped on till our seven miles were traversed, and we halted where a dozen men were employed ; in constructing a huge bridge over the river. The intention of the Company is that this road shall eventually reach Leadvihe, a city some miles be- | yond this poiut.

As our eyes are now weary and aching with so much sight-seeing, each signifies his aud her willingness to return to Pueblo. The whistle is sounded, and there is a grand rush as every one is anxious for a seat in one of the two coaches that, when going out into tlie Canon was occupied ly the mo e aged and timid. In ’ i me all are seated, aud with a puff and biow ihe fiery engine begins the difficult work of backing the train into the city. This done, we again enter our cars, and after a ride of two hours find ourselves again iu Pueblo. After a supper, which is voraciously devoured by our half-starved party, we wend our way to our separate cars where those who think they will be “slightly impecunious” ere they again see Indiana, conclude to sleep, and gain the night’s rest they so much need, while others who think the limited space of three feet m height, three in width and six in length—and this hemmed in on all sides by walls—rather too close quarters repair to the hotels. In the morning, at seven o’clock, all meet at the depot, at the sounding of the whistle, feeling much refreshed, and every one ready to enjoy with zest any new pleasure that the day might offer. ’Tis useless to add that we traveled through scenery varied and beautiful. That the mountains seeming but a short distance off but in reality fifteen aud thirty miles away, rose continally on either side of us. We were then at an altitude of many feet above the sea and the change in tne atmosphere was very perceptible, causing us to don warmer wraps, and some eveu to shiver with cold. At 8 o’clock p. m., we found ourselves landed on the depot in Denver, the great Eldorado of the West, while a dozen hackmen stood screaming—“.lack for the Wentworth,” “hack for the National,” “hack fortheßon-ton,” and a number of other “Houses of Refuge ” for wearv travelers. We co’d not please all b-y riding oneich hack, and for fear we would wound their exflUisir.e sensibility by showing any preference,, ;our party compromised the matter by Walking.

Goodland Letter.

Editor Sbktenkl : Agreeably' to my promise to you I will now' endeavor.lo give your readers, through the medium of your excellent paper, a brief account of the doings and surrouudings of o ir pleat - ant little city. Goodiaud, as many of your readers will probably know, was originally named Tivoli; but owing to the fact that there was another town and post office of the same name in this State, it became necessary to change the name of this place, and taking in consideration the beautiful surrounding couutry, and the excellence of the soil, the place was very properly and happily called Goodland. Our people here think that the country throughout this section cannot be beaten anywhere for productive Jqualities. Mr. C- F. Streight, who was a member of the Indiana editorial delegation in their recent excursion to the Far West, informs me th«.t nowhere in their lino of travel did they meet with anything to compare with it. To satisfy ourselves, all we need to do is simply to get into a buggy and take a look at the “immense (as our neighbor expressed it the other day) oceans” of corn growing all over this beautiful land, as far as our vision can extend. To see the wheat, oats and rye stacked here and there, and the industrious fanners busily engaged in threshing and caiing for the smaller grains, which have been grown in immense quantities, are certainly sights that amply repay one for the trouble in going to witness such scenes.

Our town is located in the southeastern corner of Newton county, about one mile from the Jasper county line, and perhaps two from the Renton county line, on the Pan-Handle RR. It is easy ot access from all points of the compass. Its population is made up from almost all nationalities on the face of the globe, including the Henglishman, but our people here do not appear to owe him any grudge on account of our Revolutionary difficulties. They seem to have “buried ihe hatchet,” and are willing to “let oy gones be by gooes* to “let the dead past bury its dead.”— I believe that we have no “Heathen Chinee” with “vain tricks and ways’ peculiar” here: owing no doubt to the fact that we have, no Senator Nyes to interest them at their favorite games. We took in the Remington Fair on Wednesday and Friday, and we certainly must express ourself well satisfied with the management, and exhibitions in every department of the institution. We are informed that the Fair was a financial success, as well as a successful exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry—and here letjjme sav that to Dr. S. C. Maxwell is due the credit of building up and improving the poultry department to its present excellent condition. It was certainly the finest show of poultry we ever witnessed The show of fancy needle-work, and tex tile fabrics of all kinds, certainly reflect great credit on the exhibitors. The lunning, pacing and trotting was good, and would have gone off very well only that some of the drivers were disposed to find fault and quarrel with the judges. Goodland claims the champion trotter, “Bay Chief,” (owned by Mr. Culver) who took first mo ey on the Thursday and Friday trot. With kind wishes for the prosperity of the Sentinel, and the welfare of its many I am as ever, Y.

Remington Squibs

Having occasion a few days since to visit Fowler, I took especial pains :o note the prospect for crops. Never before, in this section of country, have I seen such evidence of the prosperity of farmers as now. Innumerable stacks and shocks of small grain: threshing machines running, (I counted 12 on the trip) and thousands of acres t>f corn, as good on the average as I ever saw growing. Thirty days more of favorable weather will ripen this cereal and furnish the owners the wherewith to more than fill (heir cribs, ard furnish labor for hundreds of huskers. Surely every thing now indicates a letting up of the financial squeeze which has reigned supreme for the last three or four years. With abundance to sell and the present prospect for fair prices what is to prevent?

S. & M. Solomon have bought the south room of Exchange Block, into which they will move their stock of goods iu a few weeks. For the first time in the history of Remington the summer supply of ice holds out thus far. The prospect is that there will be sufficient to last until frost comes. Fred Hoover has returned from his excursion with the editorial corps, and intimates that he had a good time generally. He thinks we have as good a country hero as any he saw on his travels. The first day of the Fair, as was to be expected, was notfvery largely attended. Very many -more entries were made, however, than on any first day of previous years. The only excitement was the 7 mile walking race, in which were four contestants, Linfoot, Garrison, Loring and Shearer, who came out in the order named.— Winner’s time. 56 minutes 6 seconds. It was go-as-you-please. Winner started on a trot, and kept it up to the end. I was on the ground early Wednesday morning, and it was soon ap parent that this was to be the excellence of Remington Fairs. Floral Hall was filled long before noon and presented a splendid appearance. The number and quality of hogs, cattle, horses and poultry are seldom equalled and more rarely excelled. No racing as yet (Wednesday) having gone off, I have nothing to report. No one ought to go hungry on the ground for lunch stauds are abundant. Evidences of intoxication are very scarce. “IDOL.”

A Washington correspondent says that Colonel Mosby, it will be remembered, was one of Grant’s boon companions in the White House—one of the convivial old boys who could get more talk out of Grant over a bottle and cigar than any of his less rough and more diplomatic associates. Mosby has had one of these good old talks with Grant in Hong Kong, the result of which he has communicated to a friend in this city. Mosby says that all this talk about Grant not desiring or not aceeptiug a possible presidential nomination is “poppyeock,” to quota exactly from the Mosby vernacular. It is said that Dr. Blackburn, Governor elect of Kentucky, has voluntarily left homo and business to attend the sick in fever stricken- cities. Alluding to this action, saysr We do not believe that Dr. Blackburn, recently elected governor of Kentucky, ever attempted or count© nanced an attempt to plant yellow fever in the Northern cities by means of infected clothing. I)r. Blackburn has

j denounced the story as a lie, and we ! believe him. A man who loves his i fellow men so much that he volunta- | rily leaves his home and business to atten J the sick in fever stricken cities, and literally wears himself out in the good work, could not originate or countenance so murderous a scheme.

OVER THE RIVER, With Whistling, and Shouting.

The Day Long’ Looked for, Come at Last. The Marrow Gauge Into the City. [From Delphi Journal.] June 28th, 1865, in the city of Indianapolis a handful of enterprising men met and organized the Indianapolis, Del phi and Chicago Railway Company. While it is true that other men and other places desired and earnestly sought the buildiDg of the proposed road yet it cannot be denied that its staunchest, most determined and untiring friends were iu this city. Since the organization of the original company fourteen years have quietly passed, and with their flight our people have sufiered defeat after defeat in their favorite scheme of placing our beautiful little city iu closer and direct communication with our capital and with the great city of Chicago. While that hope is not yet realized yet they do witness tangible evidences of the final realization of their aims. Last Thursday afternoon the first train ran into the corporate limits of the city. The Wabash bridge was so nearly completed as to salely bear the train, and so the track was quietly laid to a point about one hundred feet this side of the canal and a number of our citizens were invited to ride on the first train over the bridge and into the city. At 0 o’clock p. m. Col. Yeoman, the indefatigable manager and builder of .the road, announced to his invited friends that they were ready tor the trip. Two cars were speedily filled and Superintendent Millikan, who was, for the occasion, stationed at the throttle of the engine, gave the lever a gentle pull and the t rain with its anxious load of human freight moved slowly out upon the bridge which stands fifty feet above the river bed. Almost with bated breath the people stood quietly watching until the middle of the river was reached, when a feeling of security displaced the dread and fear of accident, and then a shout went up that will linger iu memory for many years with those who wore aboard the train. The bridge was safely passed and in a few minutes the train was standing inside the city limits ol Delphi. The bridge is of the Howe truss pattern, and is almost a marvel ol strength and grace, built by Messrs. Freeman & Co., of Toledo. No less substantial and good looking are the trestle approaches designed by Wili. Garis, chief engineer, and built under the supervision of George Markley, the efficient superintendent of bridges. Among the seventy five or more who had the courage to join iu the trial trip we noticed Ma}or Walker, Councilmen Knight, Lathrope, Graham, Fisher. Jackson and Haugli; Mrs. Knight, Mrs, Cox, Misses Ella and Stella Dimmick; Messrs. Dr. Richardson, James and Charley Kilgore, L. B. Sims, Judge Gould, James P. Dugan, Vine Holt, Isaac Jackson, A. M. Eldridge, A. B. Crampton, of the Times, J. W. Griffith, Isaac Griffith and Dr. Angel.

At eleven o’clock and thirty minutes, Monpay, the track was laid to a crossing of the Wapash railway, and the interesting event announced by a prolonged snort from the whistle of the Alf McCoy. Ana thus the question as to whether the road will ever reach Delphi is finally settled. It is here, and we believe it has come to stay. Monday afternoon Geo. Guiliford, Chss. Gros, Isaac Jackson, Col. Yeoman, C. M. Knight and C. Angel, Jr., went over to Rensselaer to receive the fatted calf tendered dy Messrs. McCoy, Thornp son, A. Parkison and Win. Parkison for the celebration to morrow. They returned with their charge yesterday at five o’clock p. m., and were met at the train by a large crowd of our people. The. calf was certainly a fine specimen. He was unloaded at the foot of Franklin street, trimmed with flowers and evergreens and led through the principal streets, after which he was led in front of Wollover’s gallery and a photograph taken of him. He seemed too fine an animal to kill, but then the day must be celebrated and the dinner committee is short of meat.
