The radical party just rmw want considerable hell raised in the South. Something to give life and vigor to the Sherman boom in Ohio. And. by the way, let all be prepared to read tnd bear of terrible ami bloody deeds, from now until after the October election, transpirng in the South. The “reliable” Standard and the independent, kind o’ slippery Union are both after the reported defalcation of Buskirk. As th'dr own Denny, whose defalcation is of the same na tare, and the largest, should come first, we suggest that they be honest with their readers. Show ’em both up. Gully, tried for the Chisolm murder, was acquitted, whereat a terrible howl goes up from tho radical camp, but Col. Stewart E. \V< odford, radical prosecutor, takes the wind from their sails completely, in his statement that tho trial was fair in every particular, and the uccu-ed very properly set free.

A prominent and wealthy radical the other day remarked that but for the European demand for the Amoiican crop, wheat would sell to-day in Jasper county at 25 cents per bushel.

Lewi-towi. D- m •'•ratic Sentit.ci: Imagine yours li quietly regal- i ingyc ur. elf at your tmuning meal all neonscious that the roof under w iich it is spread is on tiie. That 'a.is the experience of Hom J. B. B« 1- . ford and his family at Denver on the \ morning of the 3d ult., when the firemen rushed into their presence with tho appalling announcement. Of cjiurse they stood not upon the order ot getting out and giving [ lace to the firemen. The house with the mass of its contents wore eaten up by the tire. Delphi Times: The many Carroll county friends of Hon. David Turp'e will be pleased to L-at n that lie is being favorably considered as tho cannulate for Congress by the Democracy of the Indianapolis District. And the many friends of Judge lurpie, in this his old district, would bo highly pleased to have him him receive the nomination for Congress at. the hands of the Democracy of the fndianayolis District. They remember with pride and satisfaction bis f 'finer canvasses in this district, and • he manner in which he danced Smiling Credit Mobelier Coliux over the course.

In the lute Colorado radical Convention “Congressman Belford offered a resolution—That if on General Grant’s return he should decide to become u candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency, that Colorado pledge to him her vote and voice in the convention.’’ A few years ago Belford was removed from a judgeship by Grant, at the instigation of Col! Fred Grant, Fred’s daddy-in-law, and Gen. Senator Logan, whose influence to that eml, as was charged at the time, and never, so fur as we know, disproved, was enlisted by gift to themof shares in silver mines, and now we see the representative of the rising new State get dow and lick the hand which truck • hebiowathis reputation and aspirations. Rev. Hope B. Miller was elected Moral Instructor of the Northern Penitentiary by the Directors, at the same meeting the other officers were selected. Mr. Mill'-r is sure of a large audierce each service f >r the next two years. A democratic preacher preaching to a demoerntit audience is right and proper enough.—Calkins’ Postmaster. Modest! very!!- for a retiringluminary! Of all the members of the Prison North, whom we have known —four in number-*-evvry one of them was of the i.ame .poli’eal household of faith as Bro. James, and one of them, (Sy 1. Willey). ii we mistake not, was an employe in a radical rewspu per office in this place, al one time. — They were not all, probably, strictly politically reliable, bu, they wer equally as much so as the author or the above choice production, judging

from his party aflliliations within the past six years. A negro, Bill Cooper, was the firmest of them all. He was for Grant first, lust and all the time, and to day is an unflinching thifd termer. But, we do not claim this showing should fix responsibility for the conduct of these men upon the radical party, • unless, indeed, they hold the theory advanced by the consul as correct. In that case, we are satisfied the Democracy would not s jfi'er from an investigation into the political preferences of lhe inmates of that institution.

A radical exchange contains the following announcement: “if Northern Democrats understood fully Southern Democratic methods they will vote the Republican ticket A committee has therefore got possession of many documents on this subject, including a lot of Cape. Wells’ boons on the Chisholm massacre and fife in Mississippi, which will be sent to any address, postage paid, on receipt of 50 cents [half price] by the Secretary J. W. Bartlett. It is a fine campaign document.”—Special from IVadi. But then Northern Democrats will not be deceived and misled by the manufactured literature of radical •■id ven t urers. carpet-baggers and tricksters. Radical ascendency has cost the country so much in blood and treasure; its rule produced so much misery and woo e to the masses that lhe people will not soon again ’De tricked by the knaves, thieves and Frauds in power. Possibly “Secretary J. W. Bartlett” may be inundated with orders from the radical committees all over the land for his “halfprice” goods, and the literature sown broadcast in a lavish degree,— the people will consider the source of cmenation, the characters of those emnlpyed, the objects sought to be accomplished, and no evil effects will result from the traffic. “Secretary J. W. Bartlett,” “Capt. Wells” & Co., will no doubt reap a rich harvest in the sides of their “half-price” literature, and in that they will be content and satisfied.

The Republicans in Ohio have inI trod need the shot gun policy into the campaign in that State, and like the way it works remarkably well. At Kenton, on the 24th ult., A. J. Davidson, a colored Democrat, from Athens county, while making- a speech was interrupted by a “mob of colored people, who had organized in a corn field near by, armed with corn cutters stones clubs, etc., came down on the meeting with a sweep, and yelling Hiat -no damned Democratic nigger could make a speech around there,’ — Dr. Goodlove, Demociatic candidate Ur senator from this district, backed i»y others, stepped before the mob, and with drawn revolver said he wo’d shoot the first man who again interrupted the meeting. The crowd thereupon quieted down somewhat, and the speaking proceeded amid mutterings and black scowls from lhe niobites. At the close of the meeting the crowd again made for the speaker, and he would have fared iiadiy at their hands but for the intervention of Dr. Goodlove and party, who, with revolvers, escorted the speaker to a corriage and thence to a place of safety.” A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer, from which we take the account, adds that “the Republican central committee claim to be much pleased over this dastardly act of mob violencs, saying it shows th.it the old patriotic war spirit is again coming upon the people.” Nothing worse than this Ohio bulldozing can be found in Southern campaigns

National Banks in the Ohio Campaign

It will be remembered by the read ers of the Sentinel that early in the month of September last there was a convention of bankers held at Saratoga, N. Y. It was in all regards a notable event. It was the money power of the country in eouncil. While all banks were reouested to send repre--8 niati it's, the National banks were the organizers and controllers of the movement, and the great purpose of the most important speakers, in so far as Ibe public could discover, was to eulogize the National banking system; but the real purpose of that convention evidently was to perfect plans for using money to corrupt the elections to follow during the fall months. It was a bold and infamous purpose to throttle the liberties of the people, and to bring legislation under the control of the money power. The facts in the case were brought into the boldest prominence by General Ewing in tire speech at Warren, 0., on the 23d ult We copy the following from the telegraphic report to the Cincinnati Enquirer:

In the course of his speech General Ewing said: I have said, my fellow citizens, that the contest this year in Ohio is u handto hand tight for the rule of the ballot against the rule of the dollar and the bayonet. In no struggle in one State heretofore has the Influence and power of money been so openly and audaciously asserted Heretofore the money power has fought undercover; now it comes op ifly into the field. I h >ld in my hand the proceedings of the American Bankers’ association, held at Saratoga on the 6th, 7fh and Bth of last mouth, before which association the comptroller of the currency made an address favoring all of its objects,and before wbicn Mr. Sherman says he was only prevented from appearing by the pressure of official engagements The leading purpo es of the association as declared in this re port, ate to “abotish the short weight '.lollars,” which means the ancient dollar of all our contracts, public and private, and tn "separate the issue of paper mo ey from partisan politics,” whieu means to destroy all the greenbacks and commit the whole control of the paper currency to the National banks; and also to relieve the bunks from taxation; and also to prevent the re enactment of what the association calls the “old. and odious income tax.” On the dayafter the adjournment of the annual convention referred to, a

circular was issued “to the banks and bankers of Ohio,” a duplicate of which was handed to me by an officer of a National bank who is a sound Democrat, and is not in favor of the banks thrusting themselves into the arena of pelitics. I read the original circular, which is as follows: The American Bankers’Asß*n., 1 No. 247 Broadway, Boom No. 4, > New York, Aug. 9,1879. ) To the Banks and Bankers or Ohio As members of the executive council of the American Bankers’ association, we desire to state that special measures WILL BE TAKEN TO ROB WARD OUR interests IN Ohio'. It is desirable that all banks and'bankers become members of the association rob this year at least. Yours truly, Wm. J. Deshler, President National Exchange Bank, Columbus, O. A. H. Moss, President First National Bank, Bandusky, O. [A 204.] Here we have a bold attempt at a combined movement of these powerful institutions, created by publie law and subsidized from the National treasury, to elect the Republican and defeat the Democratic State ticket in Ohio. Why? Only because the election of Mr. Foster this year will probably secure the election of a National bank candidate for the presidency in 1880, aud fasten on the country the declared policy of the associated banks to destroy the greenbacks and the silver dollar and bank taxation. Let the National banks beware. If they push on this combination for the corrupt use of their power in bribing, or persuading, or menacing voters, they will find that their own roof-tree will not stand the firmer for that.— They will find that there is enough of courage aud public virtue in the masses to execute the Seitz law against even the wealthiest and most powerful of its violators; and they will find, too, that this combination to bring their power openly to bear upon Ohio politics, will arouse a spirit of resistance among the masses that will demonstrate to them that they would have stood a better chance ot success if they had remained concealed under cover of the Republican party, in stead of thus openly appearing as the instigators of conuption, the violators of law, and the purse-holders and pronounced allies of that party. Such an arraignment, supported as it is by documentary evidence which challenges contradiction, can not fail to impress the people of Ohio with the gravity of the danger that environs them, and to awaken in the minds of the people generally a deeper concern for the welfare of the country.

—The latest project is to build a narrow gauge road from the mouth of the St. Joe river to Plymouth, Indiana, where it will connect with the Indianapolis, Peru and Chicago road. A large committee of wealthy men in the north part of the state has been appointed to work the enterprise up.—[lndianapolis Journal. —Articles of association of the Kentland and Lafayetto railroad—a short line running from Kentland, in Newton county, to a point on the C., L. and C. road between Earl Park and Raub—were filed yesterday with the Secretary of State. The capital stock is $25,000, and the president of the board of direciors is J. S. Hatch.—[lndianapolis Journal. —There is some talk of building a fourrail track on the Des Moines and Ames division of the Chicago and Northwestern railway. This is done by placing a rail on each side of those now laid, the extra rails forming a standard gauge track. By this means a narrow gauge engine could haul a train of wide gauge and narrdw gauge cars, or a broad gauge engine do the same thing. —[lndianapolis Journal.

—There is on exhibition at Peck’s store the largest pumpkin ever grown in this section ot the country. It measures about 5 feet in circumference and weighs about 35 pounds. The same was grown by Luke Ford and presented to D. W. Peck, who after keeping it on exhibition for a few days, will remove it to his dwelling, have a door cut in it and use it for a coal house during the coming winter.—[Remington Reporter. —Negotiations are pending looking to the purchase of the partially completed Plymouth, Kankakee and Pacific road by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago railway management. Before the panic struck this country the road was graded but ne iron laid. The organization which commenced this work is still in existence. The line is quite an important one, being about 100 miles in length, and running through a country which is sadly in need of railroad facilities, and if completed would doubtless be a valuable feeder to the P.. F. W. and C road.—[lndianapolis .Journal.

Warsaw Union: If there is one in dividual upon this earth who ought to preserve golden silence, that individual is R. B. Hayes. He must have moie cheek than a government mule to pack himself over the country for an exhibition. He knows that 99 out of every 100 citizens whom he addresses either publicly or privately know that he occupies the presidential chair without law or any other process except perjury. A number of the Republican papers of the State seem to favor the nomination ot Godlove S. Orth for Governor. Whyjnot? He has all the marks of a good Republican—about the same that Colfax has. They are tarred with the same stick, and cither would make an appropriate candidate for the Returning Board party. LaPorte Argus, Very innocently an Iris'i newspsper concludes its account of an imposing ceremony: “The procession was very fine, being nearly two miles long,, as was also the prayer of the Rev. Mr McFadden, ” Rural etiquette—Guest: “Don’tvou know any better than to waik into my room without rapping; you see I am all undressed!” Servant: '‘Ohl you needn’t excuse yourself, mum;l don’t mind.' “Woman is a delusion, madam,”’ex claimed a crusty old bachelor to a witty young lady. “And man is always hugging some; delusion or other,’ was the quick retort. A faithful brother to a FaircbHd (Conn.) church recently prayed for the absent members “who were prostrated on beds of sickness and chairs ot wellness.” ,L. A monarch of the s.-ize—the sheriff.

Tn Dolly Ziw ’Ti» sweet to die at the end oi a life ■Well spent in our duty done: Tie sweet to be free tram mortal strife When the sands of our lives are run; But, oh! to be called in the blush of mon When wet with life's earliest dew; To giqe up the bud of bright promise born. Is the saddest the soul ever knew. A rustling wing in the golden halte. Like the sound of the glad new year. Brashes gyast the heavenly walls, Anda sweet, sad voice we hear, “There to a gate at a distant shrine All studded with pearls and gold; There is a lamp on the portal stair Te light little “Dolly,” we’re told. “And clad fn the robes of an angel bright, She’s watching the distant day.
