Another radical consignment of five onr load* of Carolina negroes arrived as ludjunopolls Wednesday night last Judge Samel E. Perkins, Chief Justic* of tl'« f- - nj re me Court cf Indiana, died at his residence in Indianapolis, Wednesday night at 11 45 o’clock. A strict adhesion to constitution and law has counted out the fraudn tently obtained repubUevn majority in Marne, and radicalism mourneth.

His efforts in seeming good substantial reading mutter Tor lln> inmates is appreciated by them. Attemus Ward provides an appropriate mo«.to for Grant as a Presidential asidrant: “What are your pnri.ncipets?” inquired a visitor. “Puiiitcipels!” replied the great showman; “I have n:u - y putiucipel. I’m in the show biziless." The trustees of the colored churches at Indianapolis have adopted re-o-lutious in which they declare that when their edifices are emptied of the southern negroes imported by the radicals and lodged there, they shall not again be Ueed for the stotage of of such stick. - -- A tept.rter at Indianapolis the ofber day asked one of the recently imported Carolina negroes: “How do you ail \ote?” To which Sambo re plied: ‘Oh. vve’sgwine to vote straight for de Publicans. l>ey dun tole us it we didn't w.; couldn’t get our grub paid for.

Grant and the Soldiers.

The first line run commenced one mile south of Mr. Robertson’s, in Ragle Creek, from thence passing east of Wra. Brown's place, following the lowlands, passing J. Evarts' farm and coming out forty rods southwest of the farm of John Fisher, striking our town on the oast. They are now engaged in making another survey on what is called the Lowell route. This route commences in the middle of the read at P. Cross’ place (south of Lowell) and will run direct, to Crown Point, striking this place near the old brewsry, west of town. A third survey will be made from the vicinity of Lowell, pa-sing Cedar Lake, and thence to Crown Point.—[Crown Point Register.

THE INDIANAPOLIS AND DELPHI RAILROAD.

Last Fjirlay Major Palmer, of Indianapolis was in the city in conference with President Lytle regarding the interests of the I. * D Railway. A liberal aid has been voted in every township along the line between here and Indianapolis except Monroe township, in this county, and it is now the design to pres:; forward at one* and vigorously in raising the personal subscriptions. This work will be conducted by Major Palmer and C» Ivin Fletcher, of Indianapolis, who will pass over the line on horseback and devote ths:r entire attention to the w»rk to tho end that construction may be commenced early in the spring. These gentlemen are live and thorough business men and have no time f»r foolishness or unneces.ary deliy. They assume that the people along the line really want the road end are willing to help build it. They do not expect therefore to spend much time in talking or argument. When they approach friends of the enterprise they expect them to do folly and promptly all they cau without words. These gentlemen expect to be in Burlington within ten days and we trust the friends of the road will jive them

The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, andjwil) determine qnestions of the most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation. It is not improvable—indeed it is almost certain that, upon the determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free government. These questions ylll be thoroughly discussed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a first class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, und in addition to giving a true account of all the general proceedings in that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent states men, aud without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tha Sentinel wi:l hereafter contain supplement,imakiug in all Stxrv Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentinel, as a steadfast watchman of public iutelli.ence, to do its whole duty in afferding information to its sub seribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As in ’7t> so In ’BO Indiana will be called upon to take a first position in the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure oCthe great and gultunt Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most portentous ever submitted to the arbitrament of a tree-people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely Mew Phask iu the politics oi' our State —we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South Into Indiana. The managers and leaders of the Republican party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, ana are attempting by every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed to convince our people of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred and- prejudice have fallen harmless: their lavish aud corrupt expenditures of public aud private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars aud men dicants to override the voice of tbe people of tbe State, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, the picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus made up—not from th ■ Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the State; nottrom the intelligence or ability oi that party, but is composed of a motley, parti colored gang wretched held negroes from the South. Tbe froth and scum of this worthless importation are made useol to destroy the free franchise of residentcitizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. Thesleepless Sentinel, upou'the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement wil. also be a failure. W ith respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturing party majorities iu a State, we shall at uli times give the latest and most reliable iuteMgei.Ce. The American Democracy, the Fedetal Union, the rights of the People and the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. Tiie merits of The Sentinel as a genetnl newspaper are so well known among the farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, that commendation of it is considered superfluous. We will add, however, that the management has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its pairous for the money. In its news, its editorial, its literary and miscel lany—iu a word, iu its general readiug it shall not be surpassed by any paper circulated iuthe State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any readiug, thinking man in the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which It is furnished. ■iFinuan.
