Judge E. V Long, of Warsaw, is a prominent candidate for Supreme Ju Ige in the place of Judge Biddle. We miss tne sinning countenances of Consul James and Geuerul Thompson on our streets Where are they? "Oil, tell us, ye winged winds That round XHKta pathway roar.” .-«♦*- O r neighbor is engaged in patting Spottswood, of the Kentiand Press, on the back, and we 1 may the editor < f the Press in agony exclaim: "What have I done to merit the approbati n of this Bitter s foeof my party?” Zen, no doubt, feels complimuted by the friendly (?) notice his par’.}’ organ gives him. We announced what was sheet rumor, but bis organ ilur-.-s u[), and in a dictatorial spiiit gives Z to understand that his claims and wishes will not be considered. Wed may Z. exclaim: “Upon what meat liutb this, our Ciesar, fed!”

* * * “editorial (?) bog wash!” —fyepublican. Well, whatever the name that may be applied by the pall iotii ! loyal! and refined! genius who presides over the management of the Republican, one thing is very evident, and that is, the “hog-wash” has been successfully applied. It has washed off the hypocritical cloulc of loyalty and patriotism from the hides of the animals, and established the fact they had not been in the army, and would have resorted to Canada in preference to the camp, “Hog wash''is good, especially when we consider t' e use made of the preparation.

Senator McDonald on the Exodus.

Speaking to the Washington cor respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Senator McDonald said recently; “You can say that the Indiana Democrat!! have been importing white voters over since she was admitted to th * Union in ISItJ. We have made Indiana the most desirable • tafe in the Union for them to locate in. As for colored voters the Indiana Demo crata have not encouraged them to come. The thirteenth article of our constitution, adopted in 1850, prohibited tiie bringing of negroes into our State, and we would have maintained it only for the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the United Statos constirut ion. The United. States got a number or two ahead of us. But I’ll say this: After the next election the Republicans will think we’ve been importing voters.”

The Exodus Investigation.

In many regards, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, the exodus investigation which has been going forward for several weeks, and which is still in progress is one of the most important that lias been inaugurated since the Democratic partv obtained control of the House of Representatives and commenced the work of unearthing the scoundrelism of Republican leaders. Democrats, with scarcely an exception, and tiie Democratic press, almost, universally denounced the exodus movement as corruptly and cruelly partisan, and, that, from its inception to its culmination - at every step throughout its entire progress, it was manipulated and aided by a set of debased and villainous Republicans, who violated every principle of humanity, and by persistent lying induced hordes of pauper negroes to abandon their homes and locate in Indiana for purvly parsisan considerations. Every allegation made by Democrats, and by the Democratic press of the country has been ostab*

lisheri by Republican witnesses, black and white, as well as by Democrats, until there Is now no controversy upon the subject. The black rascals who were the agents of white Reptiblloan desperadoss, have been exposed Their monstrous lies and deceptions have been set in order beforo the country and have been linked and Welded to tho nefarious Republican leaders, forming a chain gang of scamps as vile and us execrable iiG wors ever sentenced to hard labor in any penitentiary in the country.— These blaok and white knaves, it has been incontrovertibly established, lied about the condition of the negro in North Carolina and with equal persistency, and as knowingly, they lied about the demand for pauper negroes in Indiana. In these regards they never uttered a truthful statement.— They lie 4 like devils, and for the most detestable of motives. Disregarding the welfare of the negro, they enticed him away from homo anil friends, to steal his vote, and disregarding the welfare of white men in Indiana, they imported pattpei negroes to steal away his subsistence, and to break down his political influence. To accomplish this they are willing to visit upon tho negro untold sufferings, and to add to the precariousness of the white man’s means for obtaining a livelihood. Such facts have been established by irrefragible testimony.— White men see it, and oven the deluded negroes are experiencing the damnable enormi.y of the crime committed by white and black rascals, who plotted foi their votes at the cost, In hundreds of instances of their lives. The investigation has effectually exploded the Republican lies about the pppressian of the negro in the South. It has corrected public sentiment, and is well calculated tolaigely do away with the influence of. bloody-shirt harrangues in the future. So far the Democrats have great cause for gratulfltlon. Even Windom and Btair see distinctly that the whole exodi s movement is damaging to tho Republican party, and that the leaders of

their party have been guilty of an outrage which can neither be modiHe I, explained or extenuated.

S efllement of Township Trustees

-. hculd Tn’io 2r1.i00 o a the Second Moi*tiay iii April o " Each Yoar Professor J. H. : mart, superintendent of public instruction, has submit toil the following, in answer to a oomnmiiication from the auditor of Ovv n com tv touching the April settlement of ip.vnship trustees: lion. M. D. Mattson. Auditor of State: I it five the ho tor to acknowledge t!it' receipt. of <i lett< r f otn the a-udi tor of Owen county, referred to me by you, asking whether township trustees should settle with the county commissioners in April. Answer: Section 7of the school law pi ovules among other thifig , as follows: School ttustees shall render to the county eomrnissiouers, annuaily, cm the first Monday after the second Tuesday of October, and as much oft ctier its they may require, ;i report of receipts and expenditures of school revenues for the-year then ending; an 1 said board of commissioners shall hold a session on said Monday to receive said report. Jt: will be seen that the board of commissionsrs :_ay require trustees ro make report to them of s toll receipts and expenditures as often its they s e fit. It will be manifestly unwise to inquire tiustees who go out of uftice in April to wait until October to settle up then' accounts withjthe commissioners and receive their quietus. T think it is the duty of the commissioners under the present law to hold ft meeting on the second Monday in April, and require all township trustees to appear and settle their school accounts,at that time.

Respectfully,

Sup’ of Public Instruction. March 2, 1880.

ROPE JUMPING

’sfouisg Girla Take Warning anti Lay tlie Rope Aside I Dr. Pock, of the Surgical Institute, yesterday uorforuied a surgical ope ration on the leg of a young girl by ] the name of J onion, from Illinois, sent i here for treatment. The bones of both her legs will have to be partially re moved, anti the little sufferer will have I to submit to two painful operations. | 'llie cause o. her affection is from “jumping the rope,” a pastime rn- : gaged in generally by young girls, resulting in necrosis, or death of the bone. The doctor stated to tt reporter, in this connection!, that, similar cams were constantly occurring from ; this same cause, but more frequently i resulting in necrosis of the spine, and that there has not been a mouth pass* e l but more or less eases of thisehar- | aeter eotne to the Institute for treat- ; meat. He says that rope jumping produces continuous concussion ou the joints which iupinge upon the bone, causing at the 111 st stage periostutis, and liitallv resulting in the dea' h of the bone. He thinks that parents , and teachers should be warned of this dangerous sport, and eradicate it enI tirely from the playgrounds of children, as it is ruinous in its elects, and : is the prime cause of more cripples among the female portion of the eomi tuunity than probably any other one ! cause. He also added that during the j practice of his profession deaths had I been occurring, coming under liisobj servution, which were the result of this pernicious pastime. In eoncluj sian he said: “I would warn children | against rope jumping, and would advise parents ami teaeheis to [prohibit i it under all circumstances.”—lndianapolis Sentinel. <»>..

Many well meaning persons favor tlie adoption of the third proposed amendment to the State constitution because they believe a registry law would be a check upon fraudulent voting. If other States had not tried the experiment, and failed to aecompish the desired end, there might be some excuse for the enactment of a law of this character in Indiana. In many cases the legislation of voters serves as a cloak beneath which to stuff the ballot box. In Philadelphia recently the electiou officers of one of the voting precincts were convicted of ballot box stuffing. Their mode of procedure was this: After the polls* were closed they ascertained the number of voters win- were registered but had not voted and put the same number of tickets iuto the Dallot box.— Another practice is to vote repeateis in the names of registered voters and when the honest citizen approaches the polls to cast his vote he ie informed that he has already voted; he may deny his, but his name on the registry list is checked as having already voted, and all his protestations to the contrary avail him nothing, and if he escapes arrest od the charge of at tempiing to vote illegally he is indeed fortunate. To some it may seem that tho latter fraud cannot bo practiced successfully; but we have witnesseda score of times legal voters being deprived of the right of suffrage in the manner stated, and a half dozen instances saw a wronged citizen taken into custody and detained until an examination by a magistrate could be had. Of course we do not assert that such frauds necessarily accompany a registry law; but cite them merely to show that a registration of voters will not purify the bailot box, and if no good is to result, why put the taxpayers to the expense, and the voters to the inconvenience which would accompany the enforcement of a registry law?—Wabash Courier.

Monticello Herald: Variousrumois have been in circulation for the past week or two in regaid to an arrangement contemplated by the maoage-

meut of the I. D. & C. R. R. by which the road would be widened to the s an lard widtu and its extern- ion rapHhy completed. We me icli.blyinf< rated that sucdt.au arrangement has really been perfected, though neither “Jay Gotti I ” the “ Wabash Company,” “Lake Erie <& Western,” nor any of the other combinations of capital which have figured so largely in these flying reports, have any connection with the project. A contr. ct has b en entered into with a company which already owns a line entering Chicago, by which the work of changing the gauge ou the I. D. & C. is to be commenced at once and the road completed to Chicago within eight months from tne Ist of April, 1880. The contract provides that Col. Yeoman shall continue as Manager and tha’ the n w company shall operate the line in peipeiuity.

The Delphi Journal says: “All the arrangements are now perfected in the matter of a combination on tlie part of the Chicago and Western Indiana and the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railway companies to complete the latter road as v. standard gouge at as early a day as practicable; tind the earlitit-ss of that, day will depend alone upon the zeal and promptness of the people alo.ig th ■ unconstructed part of tin* road. Col. Yeoman returned from Chicago yesterday morning and assured us in all interview yesterday that work would be commenced northward from Rens-S'-hu r ju-1 as somt as 'the balance < f the aid promised in Jasper and Lake is voted and subscribed. An active and thorough canvass will be con - menced at once to raise the required amount of subsidy and it is confidently expeetc I 1 v the management that tilt* road will be opened from Delphi to Chieag) within eight months, and tie entire line from Indianapolis to Chicago within twelve months if there is concert of action and earnest work done toward raising the subsidies on the south end. The Journal earnestly hopes that the people in Burlington, and otlu-r points south at once buckle the harness on snugly and give a strong' steady pull toward the eon summation of this enterprise in which we all feel such a vital interest. The gauge of the line between here and Rensselaer will be changed to the standard, as soon as the necessary ar rangements can he made. Now hit’s have a fresh boom all along the line ”

The Indianapolis, Delphi -n<3 Clfcago road, when built, will be one < f the nearest air 1 ties running into the city. From Center township uoith line, forty milts north, there is no deviation, and between Michigantown and Delphi tile deviations from an air line are but slight. There is yet a possibility that tho company will make some arrangement to come into the city from Fail creek over the I. P. and C. road, instea-1 of striking Brightwood, and corning in? over the Bee Line.—lndianapolis Journal. Delphi Times: As will be seen by an advertisement tdsewhero, the manager of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad wants 21,000 ties delivered by the Ist day of April next. At that time the narrow gauge system will be abandoned and the stanuatd width adopted. This is but the first step toward what it’s expected will dovt, lop within the year irilo a standard gauge through lino from Indianapolis to Chicago.

The convention will assemble at 10 o’clock a. in., at the Court House in said town. The basis of representation will be as follows, to-wit: One delegate for each 100 votes or fraction thereof greater than 50 cast for Henley James for Secretary of State in 1878, and one delegate at large for eacii county, The apportionment of delegates is as follows: Counties.

By order of the Congressional Central Committee. ROBERT GREGORY. Ch’n. Walt. S. Hartman, Sec’y. Monticeilo, Feb. 20,1880. For the purpose of making the organization throughout the State useful and effective, the following directions are issued by the De nocratic State Central Committee: 1. Organization should begin as early as possible in the campaign year at a time prior to the April election; certainly before the meeting of the State convention. 2. Each township, tit the meeting for the nomination of candidates to be voted for at the April election, should select its local committee and the officers thereof for the ensuing two years. 3. The chairman of the several township committees thus chosen, should, at the meeting of the County convention, be selected as members of the County Central Committee, which should its soon thereafter as possible organize by the selection of the necessary officers. •1. The chairman,, secretaries arid treasures o p County committee in each judicial or joint legislative district should eonstin te the joint committee for said district. 5. The ehait tuan of the several county committees in each district should constitute tne congressional district committee, having for its chairman the member of the State Central com mittee, who is selected by the district delegates in State convention. (5. Immediately after the organization of ti e County Central committee, the chairman or secretary thereof should transmit to these headquarters the names, township and post, office address of each officer and member thereof

7. A full and complete list, of conn ty and township nominees of the party, giving post-office address of eaen. should be transmitted to these head quarters immediately after selection. 8. Ai the last legislative apportionment leaves many joint represent - tive districts without pioperly authorized committees, therefore, to pro vent the possibility of confusion in such districts tlie following instruc tiens are issued: The chairmen, secretaries at d tiens urers, pr .ner, of the committees in the counties composing a joint representative district shall constitute the committee for such district. The chairman of the committee from the most populous county shall act as chairman of such joint tom mittee. If i>y reason of an even vote of such committee there should be it failure to determine ratio of representation for joint convention, then, in that case the ratio shall be one delegate for each 100 votes cast for Governor James D. Williams and one delegate for each fraction of 50 or over. These rules will also apply to judicial district committees. 9. All communications, filling of blanks aml rep oils to headquarters containing names or figures, should be plainly written out in order that mistakes may be avoided. Don’t fail to go to (J.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Seven important amendments to the Constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each of the two Houses of the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10,1577, these said amendments are to be submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or rejection, at an election to be held on the first Monday in April, 1880.

1880 rriiE 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SENTINEL. Enlarged, Improved. SI.OO Per Annum THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1880.

The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that \ve have ever witnessed, anrtm'ili determine questions of the. most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation. It is not improbable—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 will lie thoroughly discussed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged fora lirst class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, and 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. and without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tho Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement.blinking in all Sixrv Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentinel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelli; enee, to do its whole duty in affording information to its suit scribersupon all these topics of such vast moment. As in ‘Tti so in 'BO Indiana will lie called upon te. take a lirst position in the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most portentous ever submitted to the arbitrament oi a tree people. We shall also specially cal! attention, from day to day, us occasion may require, to an entirely Nkw Phase in the politics of our Slate—we mean the forced emigration for temporary pnrtizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The managers and leaders of the Hepubliean party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed tocouvinceour people'of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument: their appeals to hatred and prejudice have fallen harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars and men dicants to override the voice of the people of Ihe State, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assail itingpurtv, the picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus made up—not from tli? Hunters, Harrisons. Heilmans, or Shacklefordsof the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that party, but is composed of a motley, paiti colored gang wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens. and to tax oar means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. 'The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement wilt also he a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturing-party majorities in a State, we shall at all times ivethe latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal onion, the rights of a tel’eople aiid the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel ns a general newspaper are so well known among the furmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, that commendation of it. is considered superliuous We will add, however, that the man agement has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its patrons for the money.

It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking mail in the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished.
